=(
Yoru's power cord apparently EXPLODED last night. She's going to try and fix it when she gets home, but it seems highly unlikely. In the meantime, I bought her a new one and sent it to her friend's place (since she's going to a con this weekend and it might not show up before she leaves... better safe than sorry). Course, now she's gotta buy me something nice ♥ I don't think either of us really know what I'm going to end up getting, but hey, that's part of the fun of souvenirs! Maybe a glaceon! That'd be awesome! | | Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010 | | 11:07 pm |

So I'm insane...
INSANELY AWESOME. On the forums I've been hanging out around lately... I've decided to OMIT THE LETTER E FROM ALL (non-official style) POSTS FOR ALL OF FEBRUARY! ...I'm just awesome like that =D And yes, I can do it. I'm actually quite skilled in the art of omitting the letter e (or as I call it, that fifth symbol!) I just feel like sharing =D Also, regarding the last "poll," I think Chibi hit it on the head. But... I wouldn't call myself "submissive" really... I just like doing things that make both parties involved happy! I derive the most enjoyment when I do things that make other people happy. So when someone like Guin or Chibi or Yoru comes up to me and goes "YOU, do [thing we both like] together with me! Now!" I'll do it. Because if they like it and I like it, then surely us doing it together makes it BETTER. If that's submissive, then I guess I'm guilty of being submissive... I just see it as eager to please ♥ I mean, I won't always do what people tell me to, though I guess I'm more inclined to if someone I really like tells me to. But there are times I can think of in the past where I'd just outright refuse because I knew I wouldn't like it, which is my right, isn't it? So I wouldn't say I'm submissive. Suggestible, eager to please, whatever, but not really submissive. Then again, maybe I am and I'm just trying to defend myself. | | Sunday, January 31st, 2010 | | 9:32 am |
Well, that was dissapointing
But that's what I get for letting people choose not to participate! Only two people responding and one person promising to! THIS ONE IS MANDATORY THOUGH... unless you don't want it to be. Everywhere I go (on the internet), I tend to get labeled as adorable/cute/etc... and I've even been treated as a pet on numerous occasion as people would refer to me as "theirs." May I ask what it is exactly about me that makes me so cute? ...On the plus side, this Adorableness has been only in the pet/kid brother way and no one's latched onto it in a theoretically romantic sense... that I know of anyway. So hey, being Adorable seems to have its advantages! | | Friday, January 29th, 2010 | | 12:12 am |
A question for you all.
I've been holding on to this one for a bit, but I figure I should just go ahead and ask it. Now please note, this is not being asked out of insecurity or anything like that. While I -am- feeling a bit insecure at the moment, this is honestly just a research question. Well, two of them. 1) Why do you like me? Be as concise or as verbose as you like. 2) What about me do you not like? Be as concise or as verbose as you like. I started thinking about this awhile because... well, first off, I still don't know what exactly people like about me. I accept I'm likable. Hell, I'll go so far as to say I accept I'm awesome. People keep telling me I am, so it's gotta be at least partially true. THe second question came from a couple of my really good friends stating that they don't change themselves for other people. And... I can't really understand that. Because I DO try and change myself for other people. AND BOTH OF THEM WANT ME TO CHANGE FOR THEM. But I see... an individual as someone with flaws. And the only way for that individual to fix those flaws is for them to be pointed out to him. Now not all things that person A dislikes about person B can be or SHOULD be fixed, but still, it's nice to have them pointed out at times. So please, tell me my flaws, and possibly even suggestions to fix them... if you think they should be fixed! Lastly, if you want, I'll do the same for you. For both or either question. Just tell me which you want (if either) in your comment. Also, you have to be 100% truthful, as I will be. I promise not to get offended at anything you say, so give me the truth and I'll respect it with my own truth about you.... should you ask for it. Edit: Do NOT feel like you are obligated to answer. This is only for those who want to answer. Similarly don't feel you're obligated to ASK. if you don't want to respond, please don't. If you don't want me to tell you what I like and dislike, then don't ask. this is intended to be pure data, and feeling obligated would modify that data a little... so yeah. please only answer if you really want to, thanks ♥ Edit Edit: Is it just me or does the above paragraph look a little rude... it's not intended to be, sorry if it is... | | Tuesday, January 12th, 2010 | | 11:06 pm |

The continuation
WHy have I been putting this off, anyway... the present I was talking about. Anyway, a little bit after that post where I kind of freaked out (the last one in november), I kind of slunk arround depressed. Shortly after that, I started thinking of a Card game I used to play. Now, I'd stopped playing this several times, and the most recent time I played under a different name for reasons I won't go into here. Let's just say it was a stupid decision and leave it at that. ANyway, when I went back this time, I continued to use the new name and then decided about a week after that to just go "ah, screw it. Hey guys, I'm the same guy." and no one cared. In the positive way, I mean. I was afraid they'd remember the mistake I made that caused me to change my name in the first place, but it didn't matter to anyone, so whatever. By this point I'd integrated myself back into the forums as well. Anyway, once school was out, I decided to join their IRC channel... and, well, let's just say it was a good decision. I've made a few decent new friends and one really good friend too, who I'll be talking about later (Knowing me, I mean in 2012...). ANd I'm going to try and stick around and actually... keep these friends instead of running away. ...I thought this post would be longer, but I guess not. Huh. Kind of anticlimactic... Ah well. THe point of this really is that making new friends for myself over the holidays was a much better present than anything else I got. | | Tuesday, January 5th, 2010 | | 10:33 am |
Presents
I'm gonna make this quick... it wasn't a terribly interesting haul. ( Stuff )What was far, far more important... is that I WON at Christmas. Oh yeah I did. You get two stories, I'm that awesome. ( Sisters story: )( mom story )Thank you *bow* THere is one last present... a present to me from me... but we aren't going to get into that. | | Sunday, December 27th, 2009 | | 1:22 am |
I would just like to say...
New friends are awesome. And I shall post about this in more detail tomorrow, time permitting, or Monday, time not permitting Sunday. | | Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009 | | 11:07 am |

The worthless A (or... dectuple or nothing)
So, like I said, I was thinking about talking to my prof about the whole Bioware bit. And, well, I decided to ask the teacher in the class before his for advice on how to ask, and got some decent advice: don't ask for a job flat out, show interest and ask what's necessary to get one and see what he says. I decided that this should be done wednesday, after he's seen more of my stuff. Course, my plans changed a bit as soon as the Prof came in and said something along the lines of "you know, I'm surprised you guys are only striving to succeed, not excel. I mean, one of the top people in a major company like Bioware is right here, and none of you (or any of my formal students) have been awesome enough to warrant a letter of recommendation from me." Granted, he said it a little (though only a little) more diplomatic than that. So... I decided to ask him after class if even -I- had no shot, and he said "we'll see how your final project is. But you'll need to demonstrate that you understand everything we've learned so far." I took this to mean "what I've seen of your final project is a start, but you better work your ass off if you want to get anything more meaningful than an A" Which... is essentially useless. An A will be just as good as a C in a a couple semesters and I graduate, you know? It's not like people who hire care about grades... especially in something only so many game companies will use! So... this basically means that this final is my full time job. It NEEDS to be AMAZING, or it may as well be CRAP. I'd love to show you guys what I have, but all the c/ving will be a huge time sink. So... I'll probably do it later today or tomorrow. Or, if any of you have NWN, I cold just send the module out to ya and you could look it over that way. Course, that would require effort on your part to look it all over and junk. Though not much more so than if I C/V it to word and LJ. Anyway... that's where I am. A state of OMG GEEZ, DAMNIT FRUSK. A so close yet so far scenario that could seriously help shape my life. I know I'm close enough to have a chance... but I don't know what exactly he's looking for as "amazing." But I'm going to try. Oh man, am I gonna try. I am so freaking scared of failure right now. You have no idea. | | Sunday, November 29th, 2009 | | 8:49 pm |
So, writing this stuff takes longer than I thought.
But I -should- have everything done before class tomorrow, which is the important bit. As for now, sleep. Copying the stuff over from NWN to Word takes a lot of effort, so no convos right now. I stopped writing them in word cause it's a LOT easier to do in NWN since you can see what jumps to where. It's also easier to track what needs improving and what doesn't. But oh well. I'll try and copy stuff over for you guys tomorrow as a "FINAL POST OF THE MONTH" kind of thing. FUN TIMES, yeah? Course, no idea if any of you want to read it. Except Guin. Who has to read it. Or I'll stop reading AC and providing SFC Tramden lines. You heard me. Anyway, headaches make writing hard, so I'll sleep now and get up super early. And write the smaller in word count but larger in quantity half of the convos in the morning. I'm shooting for minimum of all but the optional convos done. WE SHALL SEE. After this, final projects will be much closer to a breeze. | | Saturday, November 28th, 2009 | | 9:53 pm |
Okay, this is exactly why I shouldn't procrastinate.
I am completely braindead right now. Can't focus or think at all. Which sucks, cause I was doing fine before that shower, only the girls were making noise decorating the tree, so I took the shower hoping to regain focus. But... that didn't happen. I'm gonna take a nap and take it out of my scheduled sleep time. Hopefully this will let me regain focus on... stuff. So... you get nothing today. I'll post whatever I have done before going to work tomorrow, cause I NEED at minimum the 7 major conversations done by monday. On a side note... take a look at my journal's calender. It's a cool pattern. I only realized I had the potential for this pattern last tuesday, so I shot for it, intentionally not updating more than once a day this week. It's a pretty nice pattern, I think. I'm just going to ignore the 29th and 30th with regards to the pattern, cause they just aren't a part of it. They will ruin it a little, but I promised I was gonna update every day this month, and so I shall. Anyway, nap. Hopefully I can think again soon. Latra. | | Friday, November 27th, 2009 | | 5:33 pm |
I HAVEN'T WORKED ON DIALOGUES AT ALL TODAY
I SURE DO SUCK =D I'm probably gonna do a bit later this evening (after a nap), but I figured "eh, holiday, so what if I'm royally behind? >_>" MAYBE NOT THE BEST PLAN, but sometimes a guy's gotta be lazy =( It helps that writing interactive dialogue is pretty freaking hard. Guin's all DIALOGUE IS EASY =D but adding the whole interactive element really adds so much complexity. Every time the player speaks, there needs to be exactly 3 possible response, and they all have to be significantly different. To make things more confusing, if the conversation has multiple key points that HAVE to get across to the player, then you have to make it so that whatever the player choseses, it has to tie in to introducing the next key point somehow. This takes a bit of planning. I'll try and show you what I mean with my conversation 2, since it's a) the biggest and b) the most important conversation in the whole quest I'm supposed to script out. I'll put in my own notes [in brackets of course!] to hopefully help you guys understand how this whole thing works. ANyway, I should have most of the convos done by the end of tomorrow, so expect at least one then. I should have them all done (at least first draft done) by monday! Then 3 classes after monday, they should be done. We'll see how it works. | | Thursday, November 26th, 2009 | | 10:17 pm |
DIALOGUES TOMORROW!
Assuming I don't slack off royally. Which I shouldn't Cause I need dialogues done! Probably won't be all 9, though. Thanksgiving was alright. No fasting this year, but the family was supposed to make me sausage so I'd have some meat, but they didn't have time =( So I had bread and a potato, and that's it =D And a pie later, I suppose. Then we watched 12 Angry Men to put some culture into my sisters. It was good times! | | Wednesday, November 25th, 2009 | | 4:16 pm |
Okay guys, it was funny the first two times...
But http://desertbus.org/ is kind of... not too interesting anymore. Not that playing video games for charity isn't awesome but... eh. Okay, you've done it twice, it's got to be numb by now. Pick another terrible game or something. ET, maybe. Pledge to beat ET so many times per exponential dollar amount. You want pain, there you go. Oh, and happy Slinkday and Jerkday to Slink and that other guy respectively. | | Tuesday, November 24th, 2009 | | 5:31 pm |
Talk about final projects that doesn't really say much more than "yup, they sure do eat my time!"
Man, final projects... I only have 2, but still, I've got 2.5 weeks left. I'm honestly more worried about the writing project since it's barely started. But... hopefully I'll get there. I hope to have at least a first draft of all my conversations (all... I think 8 now, though it might be 9) done by monday. We shall see. The monopoly project is coming along smoothly, thankfully. But I can't just let it slack. Though I am for a bit for the writing project. Probably smart since I'm ahead on monopoly. | | Monday, November 23rd, 2009 | | 1:08 pm |
Writing, Writing, and Writing
You might think I'm repeating myself, but really, I have three different topics. They just all happen to involve writing. Just different types Writing 1) My IW teacher says that, provided I don't tank the final project, I'll get an easy A! WEEE! He also says I have more As on individual assignments than anyone else. I GUESS I BETTER START WORK ON THE FINAL, JA? I'm thinking of talking to him next week about... maybe possibly jobinating? That'd be cool. While I don't know if IW is what I want to do for the rest of my life since I like a LOT of aspects of design, including the writing... but I also like world building. And scripting. And mechanics building. And a lot, really! But here I am in contact with one of the BIGGEST names in story for video games... so why not go for it? Worst that happens is he says no, best... I get a job! And there's a lot of inbetweens too, really. Don't want to wednesday since I haven't shown him anything on the final project yet and also it's right before Thanksgiving, so next monday or wednesday would be good, depending on the status of my final. HERE'S HOPING? I will TRY to show you guys what I'm doing final project wise. Writing 2) Guin has posted the first chapter of Angel's Creed here. For those unaware, AC is a high comedic fantasy with the core concept of "the winners write the history books." It's quite an interesting story, and you guys should check it out! And not just because a decent chunk of the content is inspired by, created by, or looked at funny by yours truly. He's looking for good feedback, so check it out, guys! Writing 3) I'm putting this in because it completes the trifecta and, well, it's kind of funny. Despite the OMG GUINing I've been doing, the majority of my fanboy hasn't been directed at him. But rather Slink. Yeah, that's right. Guin's #1 fan is fanboying on Slink MORE than Guin right now, thanks to Tezakia Quest. What can I say, I like the game, I like the characters, I like where the story's going so far (slow as it is), and I think I'm getting addicted to questy thingies in general. I do hope Guin isn't going to get jealous =D | | Sunday, November 22nd, 2009 | | 1:19 am |
FINAL SEASON
IT's that time of year: final project season! As such, I'll rarely be on IRC. If ya need me, I'll be on AIM. I'll probably drop by IRC for bits at a time, but don't expect be back til mid december. I gotta get mah projects donified! | | Saturday, November 21st, 2009 | | 11:15 pm |
