Hey, please check out my new song that I uploaded to YouTube! Please rate/subscribe/fav/comment/whatever! ;D I'd be very happy!
I remade "Otherworldly Foe" from the awesomely-amazing SNES game Earthbound/Mother 2. ;o So, this is my own version of it.. hope you all like it!

Breaking Benjamin - "I Will Not Bow" |
] |
Whoa, I'm really starting to get muscles back after this job.. that's for sure, lol. Already lost weight a bit, and my arms and whatnot are already visibly showing change. xD But, considering I work 40 hours a week and pretty much do nothing but physical labor.. not too surprising. So I get paid to work out.. haha.
Though it is exhausting, that's for sure.. and I've seen quite a few stupid people, though a lot of nice ones, too. Even got a few tips here and there, lol.. though it's always the people you don't expect who give you tips, haha. Can't say it's fun when I have to load 25 80lbs bags of cement into a truck.. but definitely keeps me active. I just have been so tired lately.. worked 6 days straight until yesterday, today and Fri are my day off finally. Need to catch up on sleep, honestly..
Oh, and I got pickpocketed the other day apparently.. that was fun, lol. It was weird, ugh. I didn't even notice until hours later that I was missing 10-20 dollars. Basically, I was at McDonalds and talking with the cashier with no one else around, and after fifteen seconds or so I start pulling out my cash.. which was kind of in a wad, which was a mistake to make. I feel someone kind of press into me, then suddenly shove me with their shoulder. First it felt like I was just bumped into, but when he shoved it was obviously on purpose.. almost made me stumble over. I thought it was a friend screwing with me at first, though I look over and it's an older, scrawny guy who's pulling out money and starting to order without even looking at me and apologizing. Was pretty shitty.. even the cashier didn't seem very happy and seemed pretty confused. Ugh.. then later I realized I was missing the money.
I went the other day to tell them about it and told them they would need to check their CCTV, and they tell me they can't and that the person that does it is on vacation for like.. two weeks.. wtf? lol. Oh well.. x-x Whatever.

Well, I finished this remix of the FF8 song "Succession of Witches" just the other day, uploaded to YouTube and FA. If you've got a YouTube account, please rate/comment/subscribe or whatever! ;D Really would like feedback.. I just got Fruity Loops back recently and I'm still getting used to the new features, ugh.. x-x
Anyway.. so yeah, things have been decent here in Seattle. Ups and downs. Though, I did land a job.. only getting paid minimum wage ($8.55, which I think is pretty good for this job haha), but I'm supposed to be getting 40 hours a week. And I'm just finally getting signed onto the lease, so that's good to get out of the way.
Nothing new otherwise, really.. still don't have my scanner. ;[ Hopefully going to get my TV and scanner shipped here soon, once I get my first paycheck. I start the job tomorrow, actually.. woo.

Pendulum - "Propane Nightmares" |

I'm pretty much all moved in now over here in Seattle/Redmond, WA. First time I've been so far away from family, but I've got friends here and so far it's been new and interesting. xD Not bad weather yet, either. I'm sad I haven't gotten to see the Space Needle yet, though. ;[ Rofl. So yeah, I moved in with my friends Muki and Mango, they were awesome enough to offer their spare bedroom to my little self.
I don't have all my crap still, though I've got most of my clothes and laptop, thankfully. Hoping that I'll get more of my shit next week. xD
Aannnd I might be attending Rainfurrest since it's so darn close.. xD We'll just see, I don't wanna make plans just yet.

Creature Feature - "Buried Alive" |
] |
Busy busy busy.. Well, my mom had to sell her house, decided she wanted to move back to IN/IL anyway and.. yeah. I ended up having to find out where I was gonna live, as I was going to end up being homeless, but thankfully my friends Muki and Mango offered their spare room, so I'm moving over to Seattle, WA (moreso Redmond) on June 9th, just two days after my birthday.
And just in case anyone is interested back "home" in Indiana, I'm leaving NC on June 2nd and will be in Indiana/Illinois on June 3rd, will be staying with Trevor until I leave for Seattle. Got things to do, gonna be trying to hang out with a lot of friends too while I'm there, hopefully will be able to get to see everyone before I head out again. I'll make another update in a day or two.
Ugh, wish me luck.. this is already pretty stressful. Though I should be able to land a job at Microsoft hopefully after I get there.. we'll just see.

ugh okay.
I'm thinking of doing emergency donation commissions on FA. ;[ But I'm stuck. I don't have PayPal (and I wouldn't be able to do that because if I put money in my mom's account they'd just snatch it). I asked Arc if he has one but he doesn't, so I'm kinda stumped.. If I do these commissions, is the only real way I can get cash sent to me is by mail? ;[ Ughughugh.
and ew valentines. ;[ I just wish I had someone to spend it with.

So yeah, not toooo much new with me. Looks like I've got two new jobs lined up, though. Should be working for Suddenlink, that apparently pays well.. and my bud Abdul wants to hire me part time to help him out in his tobacco shop. But that'll probably be like one or two days a week, with me having a full time job at Suddenlink. He's pretty cool, though he needs to work on his English a bit. xD lolol.
I've been trying to get more motivated lately, just haven't been doing a whole lot otherwise. Ugh, wish more people I knew lived nearby. -- Could use some company, but ah well. Arc wants me to go to a Halloween party or something at the ghey club.. I'll probably go, but I don't think I'll dress up. I'm boring like that. ;[ And this one guy started contacting me again who lives around here, though he's good looking, he gets kinda annoying because he like.. doesn't take no for an answer, or at least he's pretty pushy. He keeps trying to get in my pants, oye. lol. -- And I need to get back into drawing, I haven't been able to do shit lately.
Been a crazy month, too. Fable 2 came out, and then Fallout 3.. both really good games. x-x Ugh, too much is coming out this time of year.

Justice - "Stress (Auto Remix)" |

Remind me to not go out next time Governor Palin is in town. --
My mom got me a ticket to come with her, I think because she knows I want to vote for Obama. I had her take one of her friends instead to Palin's speech here in Greenville. So, I went out when it was getting dark, just right over to Wal Mart five minutes away, and when I came out.. every road was blocked by police. --; I waited for like thirty minutes, and they weren't letting anyone across.. so I tried to go around, and I ended up getting lost at ECU campus. Took me an hour and thirty minutes just to get home, ugh. xD I didn't know ECU was so damn big, holy shit. Makes me kinda glad that I'm going to Pitt, at least first (probably going to get the basics out of the way at Pitt, then transfer over to ECU).
I've been bored, arg. Got the new Silent Hill. <3 Though I beat it in like a day, lol. ;[ And I can't wait for Halo 3: Recon. Woooo.

So yeaaaah. Looks like, most likely, I'm going to be going to college next semester.. hopefully, at least. ;B Though, my biggest issues are.. I still have no idea what I want to go for. Sure, I can get the basics out of the way for now, but I'm not sure what I want to do eventually. x-x I've thought about it for awhile, considered psychology and such, but I'm really not sure. Kind of want to go the business route, especially if I can start my own business in the future (once I inherit the farm, I'll be getting a LOT of money for that, and that's no joke x-x). But I'm just not sure.
Plus, there's two colleges.. and I dunno which one I should go with. Everyone is telling me go to Pitt, the community college.. because it's cheaper and good, but I dunno. I know back at home in Indiana, everyone made fun of our community college.. and it was a pretty bad college. So some people are telling me to go to ECU. I have no idea though, I guess I'll just see. x-X Ugggh, hard choices.
But yeah, I definitely like it here a lot better. I'm right in town, so it's nice.. though I miss my friends back at home, and I miss having y'know.. a woods and stuff, being able to go ATV-ing and so forth, haha. But it's still all good. And I saw a Ferrari F430 Spyder here, too. ;B I was scared shitless I was going to run into it, rofl.
Ugggh, I need to get back into the drawing groove, too. I haven't really felt like doing it at all lately. ;[[
I really miss my Z, too.. >> Sniffsniff.

| Livin at NC now. |
[14 Aug 2008|03:17am] |
So yep, meant to get to this sooner.. >> But I live in Greenville, NC now.. got broadband here, too. so that's awesome. LJ was way too slow on dial up, haha.
Things are definitely a lot better down here, that's for sure. The only thing that sucks is that I shipped my PC, and when I got it the other day.. the motherboard and graphics card were broken. Luckily, we insured it for $600, so they should give us that and I can get some new parts. Still makes me mad though, haha.
Apparently there's quite a few furries in NC, and even in Greenville. I only know Arc, and we hang out quite a bit.. dunno about the other people.
Here's some new pics of me (and Arc).. ;x You can see how much I've changed, haha.. I EVEN WEAR SMALL SHIRTS NOW.. I think I weigh like 148 or so now? o.O I've lost a lot of weight, hahaha.
I'm on the right, obviously.. with the black shirt. Haha. ;x
lol, SHOWS HOW SHORT I AM.
Sorry for the size, Arc's camera takes small pics, haha. ;x
Should have my PC running soon, then I can get back to art and such. Been drawing a bit, but I've got no Photoshop.. and I don't think the scanners we have would work very well on the laptop I'm using, haha.

| Wisdom teeth and moving to NC on 7/21. |
[21 Jul 2008|11:09pm] |
I finally got my wisdom teeth out today, all four. All I have to say is. Ow.
It's actually not too bad, honestly. My top ones were the ones I was worried about, the ones I thought might be the cause of the severe migraines I suffer from, but they were removed without much problems. The bottom ones were toughter to get out, too.. and boy, the bottom right one is KILLING me.. the other ones aren't too bad, besides the bottom left, but this one sucks. It keeps bleeding randomly (dunno if the stitches came undone or what), but it seems to have stopped finally. Luckily I have hydrocodone.. so it's really helping with the pain. x-x I was surprised though, they showed me an xray of my bottom teeth and the right one was just.. wow. I've never even noticed my bottom ones, couldn't even feel them. My bottom right one was completely on it's side, and I don't know HOW it wasn't poking out one side or the other. But eh, I hope to god this solves my migraines. This also undisqualifies me from the Marine Corps (or whatever branch I decide to go into, I'm really wanting Air Force since that's what I always wanted to do.. and they pay better, but the Marines completely pay for college.. gaaaaah). lol also, apparently I struggled a bit in my sleep after they knocked me out, I woke up and was like.. missing a shoe.. they said I was really squirmish, haha.
On another good note, I have my plane ticket for Greenville/Winterville, North Carolina. I'll be staying for my mom for awhile (but she's got a huge apartment, two stories.. so I get the whole top to myself, haha). After that, it's either military or move out. I know she just needs a lot of help right now, so I'm gonna do my best to get that done.
Tons of good things and bad things from this, of course..
Pros?
- New scenary. I know lots of furries that are closer to that general area, too. No one comes and visits me out in Indiana! Haha.
- Finally, I'll have broadband! No more being able to only play Xbox Live once a month!
- I'll be right in town. I could probably walk to a job if I get one at like, the Movie Theaters, Blockbuster or something..
- .. MY FAVORITE FAST FOOD RESTAURANT EVAR, BOJANGLES, IS RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. SHIT YEAH. TIME TO GAIN THAT WEIGHT BACK (no, never ;[).
Cons? ;[
- No more Nissan 300ZX for this yena. ;[ It's staying behind. However, apparently.. we took it to someone else, and got a pulley replaced.. which, from what I've been told, is likely the cause of why the belt kept messing up, etc etc.. it's something those stupid mechanics my dad always took it to overlooked. They just said it was a "squeaky belt, and there's no way to fix it".. lol. So yeah, my dad is most likely selling the car. I think he wants $2,500 for it.. which is a little much IF that part doesn't fix the belt. However, either way, I'd personally only recommend it if someone wants a project car. Someone else is already interested in the car for a project car, orignally wanted to trade a Saab for it.. so we'll see. If you're interested or just want more info, comment or email me at 'thehyenaz32@gmail.com". And hopefully, I will be planning on buying a new 300ZX.. ;] Just will have to save up the cash. A twin turbo should be a loooot easier to find down in that area.
- Possibly less free time. Not really a huge complaint, I'm just gonna have to work my ass off for awhile. My mom isn't doing much better financially than my dad (but at least she can afford food), I'll just have to really devote time to earning moo-lah and helping my mom out. But I'm just glad I can actually GET a job in NC, plus get to work.. while here in Indiana, everything is like 30 miles away, lol.
- If this ends up being FUBAR, there's no turning back. I'm not going to be able to come back to my dads, and I dunno where else I'd move. So naturally, yeah.. I'm a bit nervious.
- I'm also scared about getting my computer tower there.. gonna try to ship it. ;[ I'd be screwed if it got stolen, I'd loose way too much. I was figuring I'd take the harddrive with me so I'll at least have the data if it gets stolen, but I'll see.
So I guess we'll just see what happens. I figure it's going to go good, but naturally I'm a bit worried. But hey, this will all be perfect if it turns out how it's supposed to.. If the teeth were really the cause of my migraines, and this move ends up being a great idea (well, don't really have a choice in a sense), then this should really clear up a lot of the crud I've had to go through. There's been a lot of baaad crap going on, mostly financially.. which is one reason my mom is getting me down there right now. But.. I might make a post about that later, we'll see.
Here's hoping taking this risk ends up being worth it. I'm sure it will, I'm still just a bit worried..

Well, today I turned 22. And apparently my body thought it'd be funny to make me have NO energy whatsoever today.. xD I certainly felt like I got a few years older, ugh. Didn't do anything sadly, but ah well.
And yeah, sorry I don't come here often. x-x Busy with FA and other stuff, woo..

[21 Mar 2008|11:42pm] |
Well, probably gonna move down to NC in less than three weeks. I don't think I can stay here much longer, not just because of funds.. but also cause the area is just driving me crazy. That, and my only real friend around here shipped off to CA for the Marine Corps, so this area really REALLY sucks now. >( And the financial stuff isn't any better at the moment. I'll probably just stay in NC for a month ro two and get back up on my feet, then go elsewhere.. I don't think I can stay there long anyway, either.
Going to put the military on hold for a bit, mostly because I don't even qualify until I get my wisdom teeth out.. and that's going to at least take a month. I was doing Marine PT and such, learning how to march/talk with a drill instructor.. etc etc.. jogging five to seven miles with no real "breathers".. the breathers were doing situps and stuff. xD It was hard, but eh.. I also just need to get fit again. The rest of it was fun.. I don't mind getting yelled at and stuff, just the only thing that really sucked was if one person screwed up, everyone had to pay for it.
I finally did upgrade my computer, as much as I didn't want to.. especially with funds being so damn bad at the moment. x-x But, my computer screwed up on me the other day and I had to get a new stick of RAM and a graphics card, and they only had like one AGP graphics card.. so I had to get that one. ;[ But it's pretty nice.. I can run STALKER on Maximum settings, I just need a faster processor. But, I'll do that in a few months once I get a new job and better income.. I can't afford to do much anymore. I can't even rent movies/games anymore.. ugh. Just enough to use for gas, food and etc.. And even better, car has broken down twice in the past week and a half, all related to the same thing.. and since my dad is an idiot, he took it to the same people. This will be the sixteenth time they work on something related to the same problem.. and they never fix it. Yet, my dad thinks I'm wrong when I tell him they don't know what they're doing. That's another reason I want to move.. my dad drives me insane. --;

Polkadot Cadaver - "Bring Me The Head of Andy Warhol" |
] |
Man, this is one of those times I really, really need my friends. ;[ No joke.
May be homeless soon.. x-x I'm not really sure where to go. We can't even get groceries at the moment, and the car keeps breaking down at the best of times. Car wouldn't have this problem, but for some reason my dad wants to keep taking it to the same place.. even though they've replaced the same belts fourteen times.. not exaggerating. They said it's because "it's a Nissan".. lol. I've never heard of anyone having this problem before. This guys are just retarded.. obviously something is out of alignment if the same belt continues to fall off.. Idiots.
But I'm not sure I have anywhere to go at the moment. My mom wants me down in NC, but I don't know how I'd get down there. Not to mention, I know she wants me there.. but I know she can't handle me being there, whether I get a job right away or not. Even better, I can't join the Marines for the time being. I have to get my wisdom teeth pulled.. and it's going to cost us $1,500. Ugh. I need to get out of this place because finding a job is hopeless.. no one can even get a job at freaking Wal Mart. How sad is that? I really am not sure where to go at the moment, would have been moved out by now or soon if I hadn't been screwed over. But ugh.. I can't describe how horrible things have been. And especially with this medical crap, I can't just tell you how bad it's been. I mean, I don't even have enough food until tomorrow.. might be able to get ramen, but I doubt it since the car is acting up again. x-x Ugh, I hate money.. Haha. Also, I'm probably going to only be around for three to four more days.. will probably be in the hospital for a bit (finally).. not saying that's a good thing. It's a long story, and I don't really wanna explain it all.. it's just not going to be easy. x-x
Anyway.. I'm just keeping people updated just in case I do disappear for a while.. I at least wanted to leave a note up to say why I disappear, if it does happen. I really, really really really hope it doesn't.
I need a huuuug plz. ;[

Soo, took my ASVAB practice test today for the Marine Corps. Qualified for 95% of the jobs in the Corps. Would have done better if I had studied, though. Just got a little stumped on the algebra/math and stuff. xD Got the real test on Monday, though.. gives me a bit of time to study and etc.
So yeah, decided that I'm probably enlisting. Went into the recruiter with a friend today.. was originally going to look more into the Air Force, but apparently they don't have a recruiter in the area anymore. So, we talked with the Marine recruiter and we were there for three hours or so. Guy was pretty cool.. actually only a year older than us. He was a Corporal at age 19 and led twelve soldiers.. found that pretty crazy. But yeah, not sure what I'll do if I do join.. I'm definitely going to go for an officer, though. Going to take classes and such while I'm in. I can still be a pilot, too.. so yeah, that interests me. But right now I just want to get the test out of the way and look into everything else. Kinda might suck to be an officer though, I mean.. it'd be better.. but I don't see myself commanding others, y'know? xD They start you off with a fire team (you and three people), but still.. I dunno.
It's just.. I want to do something, y'know? I know later in life I'll look back and regret never joining. And no, I don't believe in the war over in Iraq.. frankly, I may choose something that doesn't involve fighting, something simple. But still, getting through boot camp would show me that I can overcome a tough challenge. I just want to prove to myself that I can do it. ;/
The video about boot camp was kinda funny. xD Right when the bus arrived the drill instructor got on and was like "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING ON MY BUS, GET THE FUCK OFF". xD I dunno. I could take that, but I worry more about small things like.. WHAT THE FUCK WILL I DO IF I HAVE TO TAKE A CRAP WHILE WE'RE OUTSIDE ON A COURSE? Haha. Ah well.. Sark and I are both going to think it over. He wants to finish his classes first, which are almost done.. and I gotta get this all medical ordeal done and over with.. so we'll see.
Who knows what'll happen though. One thing that's cool is I may be able to get stationed in Japan, which would be awesome. ;o He said that it's not always 100% chance you get to pick where you go, but you have a better chance on getting to where you want than not getting to. Heheh..

Been awhile.. Letting you all I'm not dead. And I've missed my friends on here. ;[ It's just.. FurAffinity takes up my time, and livejournal is so slow for me on my dial up.
Things have been.. okay I guess. Not really good, actually. Mostly because of all the medical shit I've gone through in the past few months.. I mean, wow.. you have no idea. I've never had trouble with medical-related visits but just.. ugh.. I can see why America is complaining. They've been mostly been trying to figure out why I get severe headaches, mostly behind my left eye, almost every night.. sometimes during the day. Actually, they haven't tried a whole lot.. mostly just thrown me some painkillers and got me out of their way. ;/
Had a scare for a bit when they let me know it could be something serious.. even terminal.. like a brain tumor or cancer. That had me down for awhile.. but I got the CAT scan and they apparently didn't find anything. So, I think I'm safe there.. unless it's something small that they'd need an MRI to pick up. Not to mention I've seen a neurologist and such.. he said it didn't seem to be the nerves. I don't really get how he could determine that from making me watch his finger back and forth and then having me squeeze his fingers? Heh. It honestly feels like the muscle. But yeah, besides all the medical bullshit.. debt has crept up again and that's causing a lot of problems. I even got to get my wisdom teeth taken out in a few weeks. ;/
Other than that, nothing really exciting has been going on. I've improved a LOT art wise, though the last few weeks I've been kinda slumped. Mostly I really just need to learn how to shade.. I don't even know where to begin. But yeah, I've been sticking to art and FurAffinity mostly. We've almost hit the top 900 websites in the US.. really makes me happy. ;] I'm really glad to be part of the admin team and being able to help the site out. I think overall we're in the top 2,500 sites in the world? I think we've probably moved up since last time I checked, though.
Guess I'm not moving down to Georgia, as my friend eh.. backed out. I might still be moving down to North Carolina, or I've also got another option in the California area. Dunno though.. I've never really been to that side of the states, besides Arizona. xD
Got another cat now.. so Emily isn't lonely anymore. xD Though Emily doesn't really like the new cat that much. The new cat, Charlie, is uh.. interesting? He's a pretty vocal cat, kinda big too.. not necessarily fat, just.. he's big. Kinda weird how I found him. Months and months ago he was hanging around our house and the woods. I started putting cat food out in the garage, and he just kinda ended up living out there. xD He was pretty smart, did just fine out in the wild.. but as it started getting colder, I started letting him inside a bit. Finally, it just got too cold and well, he lives in the house now. xD After being washed up and all that jazz, of course. But yeah, he's cute. He talks to himself.. he just kinda chirps, meows and whines while he's doing whatever. xD
Emily's been friendlier.. which is.. mostly good. Except, she found out she can push my bedroom door open because it doesn't latch properly. She likes to wake me up three or four times a night by jumping on me and rubbing against my face to get pets. xD I hate it.. I can't throw her off me cause I like her being loving, but at the same time.. I want my sleep! Haha.
Well, nothing really has been going on besides that. Still trying to figure out what I'm going to do. I'm considering enlisting in the Air Force.. think it might be my only option right now. ;[ Guess I'll find out in a month or two, though.

HIIGGHWAAAY TOOO THEEEE DANGERZOOOONEEE |
] |
Lol, funny thing happened when I went to pick up my last paycheck from Red Lobster (yeah, I quit.. :( will explain why in a minute).
One of three managers, one I got along with pretty well (and she's pretty attractive, too! AND shorter than me! >D) was joking with me, saying she was mad at me and so forth. Well, I explained why I quit.. and suddenly she just hands me her number. I was like.. "What's this?" She just says "Well, now that you're not my employee.. I can go out with you sometime." I was just thinking UHHSCORE.. I told her "Well, uh.. I'm glad I quit then!" >D She's a nice person.. but damn, I thought -I- was sarcastic.. she outdid me all the time at work! Haha. She's cool, though.. I feel bad for her cause I think she's stressed all the time. :(
Well, anyway.. I quit early this week. I loved my coworkers, and I liked the job but.. it was really, REALLY stressful. Not the reason I quit, though. I quit because I only got 1-3 hours a day. Honestly, I was just making enough money to pay for my gas and back. ;/ I got some pretty good tips, and a lot of people really liked me.. even had a few who were gonna come back and ask for me (and had a few that did >D). I was a good server, honestly.. but yeah, shitty pay and I mean.. I dunno. There was SO much more to it then I had expected. But biggest reason I quit was because of the hours.. it was a waste of gas. ;/
I honestly only had like two bad customers while I was working there. One was a redneck couple who came in, kinda shitty mood and stuff. I was really nice, did my best to keep them happy or at least get them in a better mood.. but they just were in a bad mood the whole time. Got up and left me 0 tip. >/ I wanted to follow them out to the parking lot to see what they had in their wallet! Hahaha. >D Not really, but.. that pissed me off. The other time was this one lady and her kid, and wow this lazy was a bitch. First off, I could tell she was going to be shitty cause she lied to me. She was complaining about some sampler, and saying she just "had it a few weeks ago". Well, that was bullshit.. because the one she wanted had been off the menu for an entire year! Well, finally she ordered. She ordered for her son.. getting him a salad, a baked potato.. and she specified to "PUT SHRIMP ON THE SALAD". Okay, well.. if you've ever been to Red Lobster, I'm sure you've seen we can add the petite shrimp to the salad. So, that's what I do of course.. I mean, there's no other shrimp you put on the salad.. right? I hand them their food, and walk off.. come back a minute later to see her getting pissy with one of the hosts. I walk over there and she just explodes on me, asking where the shrimp was. Well, I told her she wanted shrimp on the salad.. and she's like "NO I ORDERED FRIED SHRIMP FOR HIM" and etc etc. She just flipped out. Frankly, we just thought she was trying to get a free meal, cause she had been bitchy since the beginning. I walked off, and one of the other servers walked over to her and told her that she didn't need to talk to me that way.. which really surprised me. But eh, the worse part was that the main manager, who's a complete dick.. was bitching me out. I told him they had ordered shrimp ON THE SALAD, and that she was in a bad mood when she came in.. and I told him that she first lied to me about the sampler she wanted that had been off the menu for a year. I was just like, "She just came in in a bad mood." And he got smart with me and said "No, she was perfectly fine until you ruined her mood." Just, ugh.. that pissed me off. Apparently none of the other maanagers like him.. they told a few of us to tell him if that ever happened again, to not treat us like a child.. because apparently he's gotten really shitty with servers before. Ugh, that just pissed me off. But I sucked up to the lady, as much as I hated it.. and managed to at least get SOME of a tip.. but ugh.. I swear, people are stupid.
Anyway, I put in a bunch of applications.. even at like, Wal Mart. I might have a job doing computer related jobs at US Can.. and they'll start me off at $15 an hour.. WHICH WOULD BE NICE BUT HEY WE'LL SEE. I won't put all my balls in that basket, but that'd be awesome..
Been doing lots of art, so that's good.. Gave out some freebees recently and mostly got all of those done. Waiting on a lot of art for me though at the moment.. I'm exciiiteeeed. ;B Heheh.

So things have been pretty good, actually.
Yesterday I started the job without having a trainer there to help me. I was supposed to start a few weeks ago, but there was a mixup and I had to wait to finish one day of training last Monday, and today was my second day without having a trainer. ;B I've been doing pretty good I think, it's.. a really crazy job, though. Being a server is tough.. I only have two tables at the moment, and I'm ALWAYS doing something.. I don't even have time to piss. >D I have NO idea how I'm going to fit in a third table in. I've actually only gotten three tables both days I've worked.. only was there for a couple of hours.. but I got pretty good tips, only one kinda crappy tip which was like.. 2 dollars from one person. Lol. But once it gets busy, which will probably be Friday.. I'm sure it'll improve. >D I only had one day off this week.. but I need the money. And lol, all my coworkers are REALLY nice.. haha, weirdly enough I'm friends with mostly girls, and most of the guys. >D One of the guys is hilarious, he was having a bad day today.. was hungover, spilt five drinks on himself today, and the manager was picking on him all day. We ran out of biscuits and he yells in the kitchen "WHO DO I HAVE TO BUTTFUCK TO GET SOME BISCUITS AROUND HERE?" Haha.
Been improving artwise, been drawing a good amount and that makes me happy. ;B It's a really good feeling when I finish a picture.. Haha..
Got up to level 42 in Team Slayer on Halo 3 the other day. o.O And I haven't even played that much.. haha. Been having no trouble leveling up, and frankly I think it's only a matter of time til I'm 45+. Only thing that bugs me is the glitchy leveling system. I was a 34 one night, we played 17 games.. only lost once, and I went up only 6 levels. Here's the thing that bothered me thhough, I got stuck at 38.. won FIVE GAMES IN A ROW, haha.. I went positive every time, usually first place on my team.. and didn't level up. Lost once, and even went positive in the game.. and I deleveled.. lol. Oye.. that doesn't make any sense. But oh well, it's been fun.. I don't feel as competitive on Halo 3.. it's more.. relaxed? I dunno..

So yeah, managed to pick up the Halo 3 Legendary edition last night. <3 Managed to scrape up enough money to pay the rest off that I owed. It was a pretty fun time. :D They blocked off most of the parking lot (using Nate's car, and my car >D).. they even had a DJ, and a papa john's stand with cheap pizza. ;b There was probably 100+ people there. I entered the Halo 2 tournament and got to the semi finals but ehh.. it was like, really hard to play on their HDTV since it lagged. ;/ Everyone was complaining about it, but oh well.. I didn't really care.. it was just something to do while we waited for the game. >D
But yeah, enjoying the game so far.. on the last level at the moment, playing it on Heroic. I won't give any spoilers, though I'll probably make a journal post soon with an LJ cut. Expect to see me playing it on Live too.. so hit me up under the gamertag "Kyoujiin" with two i's. :)
Bah damnit now I'm never gonna get these art trades done. >D
MAN AND I WAS HOPING MC AND THE ARBITER WOULD LIKE DO IT AND STUFF.. FUCK. No Elite babies, huh? :(

Less than 24 hours.. ;O Crazy. The excitement is finally starting to hit me.
Got to look through a lot of the achievements (someone we know had it already somehow >D) today, plus I found out about a very small bit of the ending. :( Not gonna spoil anything, don't worry.. The part I heard about was the part that I bet with my friend would happen, and I guessed right. >D All I'm gonna say.
But yeah, can't wait.. going to a Halo 2 tournament today before the release, then getting it at midnight. ;o I'm so gonna cry. >D
