Place fuckin sucked ASS. Though their sushi was pretty good, though it tasted better because I didn't pay for it.
Fuckers forgot to charge me for it.

So yeah, next time I go to a place where I cook my own food, shut the fuck up, let me experiment, and don't tell me I can't put garlic or chicken in the fucking middle.
and leave the fucking soy sauce you assholes.

Where are you staying?
The Westin. It's pretty snazzy, I hear.

What day are you getting there?
the 23rd. Prolly late. Arrivin with Prose and Talcen. Also prolly gonna wanna murder them for poopy music.

Who will you be with?
Well, I'm bunking with Jay, Nyn, and Kyouti. But I'll prolly be hanging out with dudes like Punk, Niky, Eidolon, Prose, Talcen, and various other cool dudes. and maybe some not cool dudes. But we shall see!

Do you do [art/trades/commissions]?
Pay me enough and the answer is yes.

Can I talk to you?
NO yes you can. I don't really mind. Just don't immediately expect me to know whot he crap you are.

Can I touch/hug/snuggle you?
Maybe? High fives are cool. Fist bumps are cool. Random hugs are okay as long as you aren't a creep about it.

How can I find you?
I will probably be the coolest looking dude in the whole city. Just look for that.

Are you nice?
Depends on who ya talk to!

How long are you going?
Till the 28th.

If I see you, how should I get your attention?
Wear something shiny.

Where will you be most of the time during the days?
I honestly have no clue. First time at AC. I will either be outside chain smoking, in the hotel rooms drinking, or partaking in LOTS OF NARCOTICS FOREVER. Excep that last part. That might be a bit of an exaggeration.

What/where will you be eating?
Anything cheap. Again, first time to Pittsburgh.

Can I take your picture?
NO YOU CAN'T I DON'T WANT YOU STEALING MY SOUL.

What's your goal for the con this year?
1. Kick a cat in the face.
2. Drink a lot, and party my hardest
3. Quality time with skunk
4. Derp.

Before any groaning is heard, yes, I still dick around in the game.

However, I'm in the market for a new Bear AV (due to a species change and all that). I have a werehouse ursine, and the AX Polar bear, but I am retarded when it comes to modding things. I've hunted for a decent bear av, to no avail. So now I ask:
one-do you guys have any suggestions on where to look
two- how much would it cost to commision someone to make a sculpty bear av?
three- do you knowanyone who could do it?

So for those of you who haven't already heard, March 31st has been the shittiest day of this year.

Awhile back, my dog, Finn, a German Short-Haired Pointer, caught a chicken, and ran around with it. He didn't kill it, but we still got a stern talking to, with threats of lawsuits. So we then had to keep him chained up in the backyard if we were to let him out, instead of letting him run willy-nilly around the neighborhood.

Then he allegedly (There was no evidence or witnesses) attacked and injured a neighbors dog. A shitty little yappy lapdog. We gave the family 2.5k for the vet bill. They turned around and bought a second dog, and then we had to build gates on the deck, and a fence around the back patio; basically a minimum security doggy prison. Kinda crazy.

And then he got loose last week when his chain snapped, and he was only out for about 10-15 minutes. No harm done.

But today he got loose again. Looking at the evidence, it seems pretty clear that someone let him out. Why, I do not know. But he proceeded to catch and kill a chicken, and then went on to murder the everloving shit out of another small yappy lapdog. I witnessed this, along with a number of other people. Chaos then broke loose. After chasing him around, screaming obscenities, the police arrived. I explained that it looked like foul play had been at work, and the officer was very sympathetic, since he had had a similar situation happen with his family pet.
Long story short, it was agreed upon by my ma that Finn is to be put down tomorrow morning. he is considered a "dangerous animal".
He is at the shelter right now, awaiting execution.
Ma is going down tomorrow to be there when they administer the shot.

Today has sucked lots of assholes.

So, as you can probably guess from my journal title I am seriously making plans to go to Anthrocon this year. I shall be venturing across the land with Prose and Talcen. I should be staying with Jizzal, Kyouti, Nyn, and Ty da Fox. There will be no survivors.

But fo serious, I'm pretty jazzed about this, and the only reason why I'll be able to do this is because I'm working 2, count them TWO jobs now, ah, ah, ah.

I'm still workin at Blockbuster, and they are giving me less and less hours, and it's lame, but my boss just doesn't have the hours for everyone, which sucks. It doesn't help that the higher ups are gauranteed 35 hours no matter what, so yeah. But thems the breaks, so I can't blame them.

My second Job, however, is a local Laser Tag joint. I'm about two point five weeks in, and I gotta say, it's pretty sweet. The job itself is hard, and very demanding. It's forced me to learn how to think quickly on my feet, how to lead and talk to large groups of people. and by people I mean lots and lots of attention-lacking children. it's not uncommon for me to finish a shift and be slightly hoarse.

But it's insanely fun. Lots of jokes, lots of laughter, and since I've stated working there, I've had 30 people ask if I'm related to Zack Galifinakis. If you don't know what I look like, you shall see at AC...granted that you, the reader, are going as well. One of the cool things is that all the staff gets a codename, and that's what's printed on our nametags. Mine says Bearfighter.

The job is very fast-paced. i thought it would be a pretty easy job, and once you get the swing of things, it is. but it still demands a lot. There's a lot fo thing sto do, which i shant list because I have a feeling that I might break like, some confidentiality agreement. I dunno.

There's a lot of funny things that go on. Being the ref for the game brings the most chuckles, namely when you'll be walking around the maze, and kids will shoot you witht he laser, and as soon as they realize it's you they're like, oh, sorry. Apparently it's not uncommon for them to say "Oh, you're not a person [playing the game]". Lulz.

But yeah, with the two paychecks coming in bi-weekly, I shall be able to save up plenty of cash to afford the trip. and maybe I'll bring a skunky back with me ;)

As I'm sure I've ranted about before, my parents have been pushing me, quite hard, to do....something. Get a better job, go back to school, whatever. Mostly to go back to school, so I can get a better job. This is not a bad thing, at all. I want to go back to school, I really do. The problem is I'm half terrified to go back to school and have a repeat of UMassD. Go in, and be told that what I love is stupid. Highly improbable for Lightning to strike twice, but eh, call me paranoid. It should be noted, that I have begun the process of going back to school; I have one in mind, and now I just need to build up my portfolio once more, using the best parts of my stuff from UMD, save up 50 bucks, and then get in. Calls have been made, and obvious progress is being seen in the situation, on top of my very simple job at Blockbuster. So it's not like I do absolutely nothing and am being a leech to my parents.

The problem I'm having right now though, is that my dad, who spends SO much time with the family at all times of the day *Heavily implied Sarcasm*, that he has decided that i spend far too much time on my laptop. Anytime he sees me in my room, I am on my laptop at my desk. Both parents have said, repeated, that i am addicted to my laptop.

Maybe I am!

Or maybe they are jumping to conclusions. I could list off millions of people who literally spend days at a time on their computers. I'm sure a great number of them are in this 'community" take part in that as well. But I don't see myself that way. I hang out with my siblings on a regular basis; I have a social life; I don't check facebook every three seconds to see if anyone has posted on a new pic I posted. But any attempts at trying to give them some perspective has failed miserably. All they believe is what they see, and what they see is me on my laptop when I'm at home.
"Get off your laptop, go do something else! Go read a book! Go outside!"
Here are the alternatives, with the weather right now (It's cold, and snow and dirt are everywhere right now):
-I can try and arrange a meetup with friends. not hard to do, but not always gauranteed.
-hang out in my dad's office and distract him from work
-hang out with my siblings. Which i do. Usually we bitch about our parents.
-or sit and watch shitty television with my ma. My ma, who usually sits around complaining about how the house is a mess and just drinks wine and smokes crappy cigarettes all day and night. Calling her a lush would be an understatement. Though, to be fair, calling her a drunk would be an overstatement, as well.

Overall, i find myself sans laptop tonight, having come home to find it missing.

End rant.

So I started out with a cold; raspy throat, nasty cough, stuffy nose, the works.

Then it became a sinus infection.

Then on xmas eve, my ma was sick, so she couldn't cook anything and my dad was too lazy as well, so we ordered chinese food.

Guess who got food poisoning?

and has puked up till now until nothing would come out?

Yeah, me, BITCHES.

So i started working at Stop and Shop, and I'm two days in.

I already wanna quit. It took me a bit, but i realized I HATE working in huge stores. It's too easy to lose track of the chain of command, and there's no real directions given.

"Unload this pallet/U-boat"

Done, what next?

"Uhhhhhhh......go face the shelves."

Which ones?

"All of them?"

That is what it's been like thus far. I dunno if they just haven't found an exact spot for me yet, or what, but it's irking the hell outta me. Ima give it another couple weeks, but uh....yeah. If anyoen has any stories about em, lemme know and share.

In other news I will be getting together a mini-con in Boston. Originally Luke-Con, it was redubbed prose and Cons (named after Prosethius), after i bungled it last year.

If you're interested lemme know!

I got another job!

Its at a grocery store.

The lady loved me.

I worked the Twilight Eclipse release!

It was fun.

The romance story still sucked, though the scene where bella was freezing to death and Eddy had to let Jake get all snuggly was super lulzy.

The wolves were awesome.

Half my coworkers know I'm a furfag now, though one knew a long time ago.

I'm thinking of buzzing my head!

My folks don't like that Idea.

It's 3:16 am!

I am very sleepy.

I worked 5 days this past week!

My paycheck is going to be fuckin sweeeeeeeeet. $350 maybe. That would be awesome. I would buy people xmas gifts finally. Or I could bug peopel for xmas gifts FOR MEEEEEEEHAHAHAHAHAHAH no I won't do that. Even though I've had my eye on the King Kazuma Figma figure for awhile now....and the D-Arts Wargreymon. and maybe a fuckload of other pieces of plastic.

Tsumi or someone told me about a program that lets me record mah voice.

So, any questions that you want answered?

So I had applied to UPS, for a Driver Helper position. For those of you who don't know, I work at Blockbuster currently; making 15 hours a week barely.

So I wake up at 8:30am, get showered, clean up my beard, and head out.

I get lost.

I end up having to call my dad and have him direct me. Half an hour after my scheduled appointment, I finally find the place; I thought it would be an actual UPS building, but it was just a Career Center. So I go in, and they bring me to a lady in the midst of giving a presentation to a group of other people, but she's nearly done, so they have me wait and dick about on the computers while I wait for a one on one session.
Half an hour later, they come and ask me if I'm there for UPS, and then they have me sit in a waiting area with 12 other people. One by one, someone would get called in, they and the hiring guy would talk, and then part ways so that they could go fill out an application.

Another hour later (It was 11:30 at this point) The hiring guy pulls us all in, and he obviously stunk at public speaking. And he was fat, and in my sleepy haze, i kept trying to imagine him without a triple chin.
Anywho, the job payed a little bit less than what I'm getting payed at Blockbuster, it's full time, for only 4 weeks. Once those 4 weeks are up, that's it. Done. But I couldn't have a second job, so I'd hafta quit Blockbuster, for just 4 weeks, which is bullshit.

So yeah, that was a waste of my life.

Also, I am baffled as to how I shall save up for Anthrocon, since I seem to blast my paycheck to pieces within 3 days of getting it.

 Reznor came to visit me a couple weekends back. He is a huge snuggleslut. Also a HOMOSEXUAL. And I think I made him like Massachusetts, because we're awesome like that, and much cheaper than Long Island.

i like poop

PS: Neer, I'll buy you beer! <3<

I'm working at Blockbuster.

I'm looking for a second job.

This is hard. But I have some leads.

I want to buzz my head hair off.

I have been playing Halo Reach; it's great. I cant wait to get back into Forge World and dick around.

I've put Halo on hold while I play my rented copies of Crackdown 2 and Split Second.

I've decided I'm going to try and apply to the Center for Cartoon Studies, up in Vermont.

Just looking at the <a href="http://www.cartoonstudies.org/index.....grams</a>;, I'm kind of drooling a bit.

Huzzah! Going into Boston to go to Wagamama in harvard! Pretty neato >:3

Wow. just wow.

So I am currently -$200 in my bank account.

All because some fuckwad signed me up for Overdraft protection, which doesn't protect me at all.

Basically, without overdraft protection, if you only had $5, and you tried to spend $6, your card would be declined for insufficient funds and such. This is good, as you shouldn't spend money you dont have anyways.

But with overdraft protection, you can just keep spending and spending and spending.

So what happened is this. I last saw my bank account had $50 in it, and said, cool. So i spent about 30, 20 on gas, and then a bit on denny's and Bk and stuff. then after that i only spent 2-3 bucks here or there. Then I got paid, and thought I had plenty of money. So I spent 15 and a couple bucks here and there again

By then, half a dozen charges had come through during this time, and they overdrew my account a shitload, so i got alllll these charges, and thent he new ones I made after getting paid got charges, and then it was enough that my entire $235 paycheck got eraten up,a dn then more charges went through, and ugh.

Went into the bank, lady said lol sorry you shoulda kept a better record.
Called up the hotline, lady said lol you have overdraft protection. I had her take that off asap.
Called the hotline again when more charges kept piling up. Cunt said lol yer a liar about keeping track of yer money, and yer lying about having had overdraft protection. I hope she rots in hell.

So that is my life right now. Ima prolly need to wait 4 fucking weeks before i actually have spending money. This is going to be a fun month. UGH.

trying to go through fa on my phone sucks dick.

I'm currently writing this from my phone, because the home computer has shat itself. ironically after we replaced the shitty-ass mouse. so i have no access to a computer. weee. text me if you have my number; im on mobile im (yim) fairly often, so yeah.

i'm planning on getting a macbook air, along with a terrabyte hard drive to hold all the extra stuff.

and this concludes the news.

So I've been told by the parents that, because of failing out of school essentially (I didn't flunk out per se, but I nonetheless got bad grades this past semester), this will be my punishment:

-No Laptop.
It's being confiscated for an undefined amount of time. The logic is that he bought it, he owns it, and therefor he can take it away whenever he wants. I can always find it later. Or even hide it myself. This will make a bad situation worse, as tempting a it is. If anything, I can try and buy it back.

-No Cars.
Aside from work, I will have no access to vehicles. i can't see how this can last. It hasn't before. This means that if I want to hang out at all, I need to have people pick me up. This shall suck indefinitely.

-I shall hafta pay rent.
I don't know what this will cost me.

Wish me luck guys.

I've spent the past couple days cleaning my room extensively. Before, I would just shovel all the useless bits of junk and trash into various boxes and then cram them either into my closet, or into stacks along my walls.

No more.

I went through everything. Absolutely everything. I'm still going through things at the moment, trying not to get distracted by various comics and magazines that catch my interest. I have comics back from the 90's, I'm fairly certain I have a couple books from Spidey's clone saga in there somewhere.

My closet, for all intents and purposes, is utterly clean. i took out all the clothes that i never wore ever, going all the way back to middle school, and stuff them in bags to be donated to shelters. I'm personally going to make sure that they make it to a donation bin. I've thrown away all the various pens and pencils and markers and crayons that are crap or useless to me for the most part. All electronics will be going in one of the various Milk Crates that i stole from the school dining hall. I currently have a stack of boxes, both carboard and plastic, that I have stacked near my bed. My bureau(?) has been completely gone through.

I'm currently working through what was under my artists desk. I am utterly astounded at my ability to hide massive amounts of junk and clutter in such small spaces.

I've gathered up all the various pieces of random pictures that I tend to hang up on my doors, and I'm covering the protruding corner of my wall in them. it'll be pretty shway.

Overall with my room, I'm ecstatic that it'll finally feel like MY room. It'll be decorated how I want it. it'll have all the decorations and the furnishings and everything will be awesome. I'm fairly certain that I'll be happy when I'm done.

Job hunting, thus far, has been a let down. I had an interview of sorts with Apple at their local retail store, but I got turned down from that. Literally 2 hours before that happened, I got called by Jordans Furniture (The official furniture of the Boston Red Sox, don'tcha know!) and they offered what seemed to be a gauranteed job position. but I got off the phone with them earlier today after playing Phone Tag, and they didn't seem to like that I had no warehouse experience. They said that they were going to go through a series of applicants, and then get back to me. Ugh. That's a pretty much a No.

That's all for now, I guess.

Oh wait it's just neer. SILLY DIGIMON HURRRR

So my power cord is broken on my laptop. It's hard to explain without pictures, but in short, it's broken. This has left my laptop without any power to run at all. So I'm now forced to either make repeated trips back and forth to the computer lab, or use someone elses laptop in the apartment. Or surf the net via my phone. Fun.

I'm trying to get home now. It is a lot harder to do that when the parents are in goddamn Paris, blowing large amounts of money despite numerous scoldings to me about how the family is in debt at the moment.
My sister is the only one who could come and get me, and currently, she is being a whiny little bitch. Bitch as in wimp/pussy, not bitch as in, you are a girl. It's currently raining. She has never driven to my school, or made long voyages on her own. She wold like someone to come along for navigational support. This is understandable. Failing that, she now refuses to drive in this weather because she's afraid of hydroplaning. This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Yes, it's fair to let her have irrational fears, but this is just stupid now. The trip itself from my home to school is extremely simple and straightforward. I just want to go home. That's all.

Fuck you karma.
