I love it when the guys at Penny Arcade start pissing each other off with their news posts. It makes my morning/afternoon.

First time on Bastardism
2003-07-04 05:13:58
Weird. Today, everything felt like it was falling apart. My roommate could not be contacted at all apparently, because I wanted to talk to him about the apartment we're going to hopefully be moving into sometime soon. I call up one of my other friends and ask if my roommate was there. He's at work, and I was told that he'd be online around 1:30 or so. It's 3 AM right now and no sign at all. Figures.
Anywho, the friend I talked to about it said that he never heard me the way I did on the phone, pissed off as hell and all that. I have to admit, he was right. I've never really blown up at anyone or "snapped." I've been acting like a real asshole, and what freaked me out was that I was aware of it and I wanted to stay that way. I've always been either the happy-go-lucky nerd who enjoyed life, or the sensitive wuss who cries. Never angry. So I guess I got to be pissy tonight, and God help me, it felt great. Emotional relief, which is odd to me.
One of my online friends talked me down and helped me realize that I'm too nice to really stay an asshole, which is true. The mood eventually wore off obviously. It's funny, because not too long ago I was doing the same thing she was to her: I was talking her out of her nasty mood. Switched roles.
On yet another negative note, my "previews" video won't be done anytime soon, unless my DVD/CD-RW drive decides to fix itself automatically. It crapped out on me two days ago, and I haven't been able to do anything with it. I can't rip DVDs, watched videos I have on disc, or burn anything that I want off of this computer, which really really blows. Hard. Although what I have done so far of the video is pure wholesom preview goodness.
The previews video is pretty much many small trailers in one, all talking about upcoming videos I'm going to do in the future but won't be able to get to since I'll be without a computer.
And that's how you overcook a Pie. -

"Monica's Dress" is the father of all fonts, which is kinda true when you think about the design. :P -

Going through the archives of this webcomic, and after seeing the last panel of this image, I've come to realize that I am a person who depends on others, despite how much I'd like to think I'm completely independant.
I want to be in love with somebody and I want to be loved.
I'm afraid that out of the desperation that's slowly arising in me from not being able to hold someone and say that I love them, will make me just choose whoever might be available to love, and doing so I might make a huge mistake.
Wanting the most precious thing I can think of really is too much to ask for. Excuse me while I cry myself to sleep, something I haven't done in a while.. -
The Y0Y of it
2003-06-26 07:50:16
Just thought I'd post an entry considering I'm bored as hell at my friend's house, it's 6:20 AM, and that I stayed up (therefore getting no sleep whatsoever) because I see no reason to get up early (my ride to go home comes at 9) when I've already stayed up so late. This was decided at about 1. So now here I am, high-strung as all hell from lack of sleep, twitching and twisting around at the slightest sound. I guess for now I'll just list off some crap that's happened so far these past few days here:
Day 1: Saw one of my best friends who I haven't seen in months and months, which was alright despite him having to goto work about an hour after I got there. Luckily though, I got to go with another friend to the local mall (the largest one in Oregon actually), which was a perfect place to look for jobs IF IT WASN'T SUMMER. Bah to those stores. The summer rush of kids out of school took all the posistions of employment before I could, so every place I went to at the mall could have just threw a brick at me and yelled something obscene about my mother if they wanted to. Either way, I felt pretty irritated and down because I was really hoping for a job there.
Day 2: Wandering. Lots of it. I walked around and scoped out local businesses (however I REFUSE beyond all comprehension to work at a restaurant or fast food place, especially nearly going literally insane from being a dishwasher some months ago). Found a mighty good amount of places, all complete with a full staff, so Day 2 is a fun-filled bust. Although, while at Rite Aid, two teenage girls (13 or so) tried to shoplift and were caught. Funny, except for the whole stealing thing. Fuckin' kids.
Day 3: More wandering. Lots more. I walk around in other directions I didn't check out the day before, and still found nothing. It makes sense really, considering there are lots of apartments close by the businesses. I figure I might try some other places at the mall that I might have missed (that and I wanted to buy a DVD or game or something along those lines), so I hop on the Max tram and am on the way to the mall when I see a Fred Meyer at one of the stops. I figure "what the hell" and got off, knowing that I can come back at anytime for a Max tram. I find a treasure trove of businesses around the Fred Meyer, and found that Fred Meyer might be looking for grocery baggers. A sucky-ass job, I've heard, but it's work damnit. Other places I find include GameStop (I'd give my left big toe to work at a place like this), KB Toys (simple toy store, relaxing enviroment except for screaming kids), OfficeDepot (no comment, i guess), Hollywood Video (not looking, bah), and Tower Records (not looking, but the guy said that employees come and go like the wind, so it's always possible; that and I hung around the store and watched some Futurama on the TVs that were playing, muah hah hah). Also, a Papa Murphy's that my friend works at might be looking for employees so who knows.
