Wooo hooo!! I got an op on the Mononoke vid!!! About time, considering that that video is about a year and a half old. Golly, I need to make another video, but I need to wait until Christmas, since one of my presents might be that 120GB drive I've been drooling over for the last while ^_^ The ideas I keep getting are going to require a lot of space, and that should be just the thing to scratch that itch. Besides, it's not like I could start one now anyway, what with the film script I have to write, the portfolio I have to put together, the website I have to create, finals, Christmas shopping, and moving out, all within the next few weeks. Yargh!! Oh well, if things go well, I should be able to get away with not working over Christmas, so I would have plenty of time to play with a new video. Too, too much going on now X_X
Went back to Tulsa for Thanksgiving, which was fun. Got to see my family, and hang out with them for a while. Helped my cousin get her computer working better (a 386 with 8 MB of RAM and 400MB of hard drive space running Windows 95. Yeah, that's right.) I helped her get an old external modem working so that she can get email or something. Good times. That same cousin had also just gotten her learner's permit, so she drove us around a couple of times. She's pretty good, considering that she hasn't had that much experience. I'm still alive, and that is what counts ^_^ Went to a wedding also while I was up there. My sister's best friend Courtney got married, and many people at the wedding almost didn't recognize me, which is to be expected, since the last time I saw them, I was 12 or 13. 7 or 8 years sure can change things ^_^ The first thing Courtney said to me when I walked up was, "Wow, you're huge." Yeah, I guess not being 10 anymore will do that to you @_@
Tell me, how can anyone stand to shop the day after Thanksgiving? I actually went to Walmart at 6 AM with my mom, my grandmother, and two of my aunts. That place was a complete madhouse!! And people suck. Fighting over things, stealing TVs out of layaway, attacking employees bringing pallets out of the back, I mean jeebus, it was insane. I did find a mighty good deal on a new printer though (Lexmark Z22 for $28). I thought it was mildly ironic when I caught myself whistling "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas". Ahh, good times ^_^;;
Final note: giving people new names is fun. My sister is now "Empress Stinky McPoopants", my mother is "Queen Zesty McSausagepits", and my cousin is "Princess Snorty McButtwhistle". Don't ask me where these came from, because frankly, I don't know. Anyhow, I spent 11 hours in a car today, and still had to drive another 45 minutes from home to campus. Blargh. Time for sleep.

There are thing in life that really make me nauseous/ You're one of those/ I'd rather have a rattlesnake on my nuts/ With one fang through each testicle than spend/ One minute with you

Ok, I said I would make up for the moping, and so I am. It's a free mp3 giveaway!! Yay! ^__^ I've got three songs up for the taking.
http://evilgenius.firehead.org/Ranma_-_Akane's_baka_song.mp3 (This is how I've been feeling lately >_< )
http://evilgenius.firehead.org/Yoko_Kanno_-_Sora.mp3 (I told you before, she freakin' owns me. This one is real pretty.)
http://evilgenius.firehead.org/Iceman_-_Shining_Collection_(Gravitation).mp3
(A good fast song. I found VicBond007's video to this, and I really liked it - the song and the video.)
There, now get off my lawn, you damn kids.

God, I really need to reevaluate things in my life. I hang out with my friends, which is good, but usually in their room or here. Same people, all the time. Don't get me wrong, I love my friends. I value them with a price higher than any precious bauble you could imagine (well, most of them, anyway ^_^). But, being around the same people day in and day out might be the reason the only real girlfriend I've ever had was in 8th grade, and I'm 20 dammit. Sure, I've had several occurences (is something happening here? I hope something is happening here....oh wait, nothing is happening.....poop), but nothing notable. I keep getting stuck in that God-forsaken friend zone. I know, some of the best relationships stem from prior friendships, but not when all of the friends you hang around with are guys or girls who are spoken for. I want to meet new people, but.....I dunno. I don't like parties all that much (I don't like crowds in which I don't know anyone, I don't really like alcohol, and I can't dance to save my life [I can get the beat, but translating that to movement isn't my thing]), and I get nervous and weird talking to new people in anything other than small talk. God, this is so frustrating. I go through this every year. Wait, scratch that, every other day. It's this little squatter in the back of mind that likes to jump every now and then to tinkle on my parade. Grrrrr.....
It's not like today was bad or anything. I finished watching Vandread (really cool), and watched ep 6 of Tenchi Muyo! GXP (fun). Meredith's younger brother was in a vocal competition here, so I got to hang out with him for a while, and had dinner with his/her/their family. I went to a Halloween party in the Honors College (it got delayed because of new student recruiting) with Carol and Meredith. I was Hank Hill, and they were my hoes (King of the Hill episode - Hoe Yeah). It was a lot of fun. We got some pretty nice looks (and a couple of "what the hell's", too), and I got to watch two cute girls (in my opinion at least ^_^) freak dance with each other. Neat-o. Might have to post some pictures later on. But, I'm sitting at my computer doing a whole lotta nothing, and my roommate is asleep, and it's dark, so my mind tends to wander. I guess I dwell on things too much. Note to self: no more thinking.
Also, no more posting after 3 AM.
Sorry about the melancholy. I'll make up for it sometime.

I should be working on listening comprehension in Japanese, but I just thought I would leave you all with one thing:
YOKO KANNO FUCKING OWNS ME!! That's right. I have heard so many tracks that were just beautiful that have lead back to her. So yeah, I think that says it all. Ja.

Shit. Didn't realize it had been this long since I had posted to this thing. Kept thinking about it, but never really sat down and did it. Until now -_- Can't believe October has passed the halfway point. Where has the time gone? Started a new video (I can see everyone reading this [all 8 of you] recoiling in horror, and checking the temperature in hell to see if it has frozen over). I'll probably continue working on it this weekend, depending on how homework and that take-home test for Web Technologies pan out. Finally bought Iria:Zeiram, End of Eva, and Death and Rebirth on DVD recently ^_^ I think my collection is coming along nicely. Now, if only I can get that 120GB drive I've been slobbering over, maybe I can get some more shit done. Luckily, due to my new job, that might be a bit closer to happening. I'm the PR intern at the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies, and I basically play around on the computer and help layout a newsletter that this office puts out. Not too strenuous, and I only work about 12-15 hours a week. I've enjoyed it so far, and I get my first real paycheck tomorrow ^_^
Lessee, the crew round these parts is still pretty much the same, with the addition of Carol, a chick from downstairs who comes up and hangs out a lot. I will admit that I have a bit of a thing for her, but that's beside the point -_- She informed me (and only me, for some odd reason) that she was thinking of dumping her boyfriend sometime soon, since she only gets to see him on the weekends, and it's just kind of a weird situation. He's 25 (and she's 19, a year younger than me) and already has a kid (an extremely cool one, but one nonetheless). Hmmmm....what's that sound? I guess it might be opportunity knocking, but I'm reluctant to answer the door, since opportunity is a little bitch that frequently forgets to wipe its feet, and tracks shit all over the place. And to make things weirder, she also told me about her having a crush on one of the guys next door, but I'm the only one in here that she actually talks to or hangs out with consistently. So, I dunno. Oh well, time for bed. Oyasumi.
