Stuff and shit
Posted 16 years agoI got done with Fallout 3 a couple days ago.
It's a kickass FPS (a combination of terms I almost never use) with a great deal of RPG elements. I highly recommend it to anyone. With near a near limitless number of ways to play the game, it has incredible replay value.
Okay, enough about that boring shit (video games, boring?! I think I'm ill)
So, Shokuji and 
wuffamute came to visit me for a while today before I have to leave tomorrow.
I felt short side-by-side to them. Hehe XP
We went to dinner at El Toro, a great Mexican restaurant, and came back to watch Watchmen. Had some strange conversations, hilarious and funny, and took some pictures (some really GOOD pictures ;3 Not for you), but by that time it was getting late and they had a long drive back... so they had to leave. I'm sad, and I miss them already.
So, guys, I'm sure at least one of you is reading this ;3 The first thing I'm gonna do when I get back to Washington (and I am coming back, once I can) is visit you guys again. Better keep in touch until then, kay?

No, my sister getting her money back will not resolve this issue. I have to jump through hoops just so the prosecuting attorney can stroke his own ego.
No, I cannot go anywhere with my life until this is resolved. The felony charge and the outstanding warrant for my arrest show up on my background checks. I can't get a job or even join the armed forces.
No, I do not have the $300 needed to get myself and my stuff back out to Michigan. As I just said, the fucking background checks are killing me here. My mom's budget is stretched tight enough as it is and I doubt my dad is gonna help >.>
Yes, I would greatly appreciate any possible donations. If you can't donate, then can you direct this to someone who can? I really need to get this resolved.
Yes, I am sorry about begging but that appears to be my only option right now.

Posted 16 years agoFor those who've been paying attention....
You remember my last couple journals? Well, even if you don't you can always go look. Anywho...
What I thought was originally a charge for petty theft is actually a charge of larceny >.> With an outstanding warrant for my arrest attached to it, no less.
Petty theft is a misdemeanor. But larceny? That's some serious shit right there >.> It's a FELONY. Because of that shit, I can't even join the armed forces let alone get a job.
I'm going to call the prosecuting attorney in the morning and see if he won't drop the charges if my sister gets her goddamn money >.> If that's the case, I will find some way to scrounge up $200.
(Be forewarned, I may have to beg a bit from you guys >.>)

God fucking damnit all to hell >.>
Posted 16 years agoA few days before I moved, my sister called the police. Apparently, someone had stolen $200 from her.
Now, I question whether or not she even had any money to begin with, but that's secondary.
The cop had tried to pin the theft on me, pressuring me to give in and confess. Of course, I'm not willing to confess a crime I didn't commit, so all his posturing just made him look like an ass.
At the end of the week, I moved as planned regardless of what those idiots in the legal system thought about it. It wasn't until several days after that the cop who had tried to pressure me into confessing stopped back by with an arrest warrant. I laughed from all the way across the country.
I hope he heard it.
Now, the other day, my sister decided to drop the charges. It wasn't worth the hassle for anyone. Her, me, or the prosecuting attorney.
The prosecuting attorney, however, apparently felt differently about the subject. She, in some exalted state of mind, apparently thought my sister was being pressured to drop the charges.
By who? Me? Yeah, that's really fucking brilliant. I'm 3 time zones away from her now. And I've been planning this trip since LONG before she even moved back into the house we live in now.
Or maybe my mom? Oh, sure, she's got a LOT at stake here. No matter what, one of her children gets in trouble. I'm so sure she pressured my sister into dropping the charges. She may have asked her to, certainly, but I doubt she twisted her own daughter's arm and forced her to.
Beyond any of this, the claim was for $200. If they decide to honestly pursue this, it would cost them a great deal more than that just to get me back out to Michigan from Washington. Let alone any legal fees that would ensue, not to mention the resulting harassment lawsuit they'd receive from me for making me waste my time, money, and keeping me under investigation for a crime that should have, at best, been taken to small claims court. And was dropped by the person who issued the charges, anyway.
All of the facts presented thus far pale in comparison to the notion that any potential employers who run a background check will not hire me as long as I remain under investigation for this.
Oh, I am pissed right the fuck off right now >.>

Bus or Plane?
Posted 16 years agoWell, now that I've decided what to do....
I need to figure out how to do it.
I have $250 I'm dedicating solely to this trip. A plane ticket would cost around $200, leaving me very little left after the trip for spare change. I won't even mention how afraid of heights I am. A bus, by comparison, would only cost $100, leaving me more money after the fact, but the trip itself would take more than 2 days >.> Compared to the 6 hour (average) trip by plane, that's a long time. That, in and of itself, has numerous downfalls associated with it.
I don't know. I'm sure I'll figure something out, though X3

For those of you who care....
Posted 16 years agoI've decided on which path to take.
I'm going to move out to Washington to live with my uncle. If nothing else, I'm sure he can get me a job at his PetSmart. And if not...
Well, there are plenty of military bases around there to enlist at >.>

Fucking hell >.>
Posted 16 years ago... About 3 weeks into this semester, I decided I would choose between 1 of 3 paths that are currently open to me. Recently, a fourth has been added. All of them involved dropping my current lab class.
Option 1) Continue on with the program next semester, but with a more basic class to help me get back up to speed. I'm getting killed with the details.
Option 2) Transfer from the Culinary program to the Baking program. I was always a little better at that over at NMC anyway.
I've basically decided that I'm not returning to school next semester, so I'm really down to the next two options. Neither of which I really like a great deal.
Option 3) I didn't want to do this until after I finished my education, however... Drop everything and go to live out in Washington (state) with my uncle. I can finish my education at a later part of my life. However, I have no job experience, my training isn't finished yet, and I've heard the job market isn't much better out there than it is here anyway...
Option 4) My least favorite of the bunch... Join the Air Force *shudders*. I've never thought highly of any branch of the armed forces, and even thinking about joining makes me feel sick... But the bonuses for having military training are astronomical and really can't be ignored, all things considered. This is my least favorite of the bunch, but has the best chance for success.
I'm kinda stuck. Do I swallow my pride as a conscientious objector? Do I cast my bet on a random plan that has little chance of success?
I hate these life-altering choices >.>

Posted 17 years agoShit shit shit shit shit shit FUCKING SHIT!
Sometimes, I just wanna disappear from existence, you know?
>.> I get these really depressing musing in my head sometimes and they're, of course, impossible to just IGNORE. Gods no, that would be too easy.
Why is the world so kind to some and so cruel to others?
What is it about people that makes them change into monsters completely unexpectedly?
Anywho, life seems to enjoy kicking the shit outta me week after week. I'm convinced one of my instructors hates me. Of course, it's my restaurant instructor, too, so I'm getting somewhat less than average grades in that class. And it's only the end of week 2 (of 10). Oh FUCKING joy.
Beyond that, it seems that everywhere I turn, I absolutely HAVE to be reminded that I'm the only person I know who doesn't have a boyfriend/soulmate/whatever. Every guy I get my sights on is either already taken, straight, or just uninterested >.>
Wanna know something funny? I've honestly considered becoming a drifter >.> Just kinda... disappearing into the woodwork, wandering the country...
Except I don't have a car or any spare cash >.> If I had a car, even just an old beater, and a couple hundred extra dollars, then I probably would do it. Just get in and go... not tell anyone, drop off the grid for a while, and show up somewhere completely new, where nobody would recognize me... It all sounds kinda romantic to me.
Well, I guess I just have to say "Fuck you, romantic dreams" and suffer through the real world as best I can.
Sorry, I just felt like bitching for a while. I don't feel much better, to be honest, but this does seem to help a little.

Video games
Posted 17 years ago1) What was your FIRST video game console?
An old Atari. I thought it was big shit when my parents actually let me play t too X3 Oh, Pong, you were my best friend
2) Name a few games you played on said console.
Pong and, like, the very first Pit Fall game (I think it was)
3) How many VG consoles do you own presently?
PSX, PS2, GBA, GameCube, Wii, and my computer (thought that POS hardly counts)
4) Were you a Street Fighter nut? Any character in particular?
I used to play it when I was younger X3 I've only ever played, like, the very first one. I played as Chun Li and Blanka a lot
5) Do you think Capcom is a FUCKING awesome company with kickass character designs?
Ummm... Sure, let's go with that >.> Okay, so I don;t really own more than a couple Capcom games, and they were made by Clover Studios (which I will forever hate Capcom for closing)
6) Here's the scenario.. You had some friends over and you all ate FRIED CHICKEN! After the meal you all decide to play some video games. As your friend reaches for a controller you notice his/her hands are very "greasy." Are you the type that would insist they wash their hands before pawing the controller, or is it no big deal?
I probably wouldn't care, though most of my friends would wash their hands by themselves after eating something greasy like that
7) What's your favorite RPG/Action RPG?
I have to say, my absolute favorite RPG would have to be Okami. I'm also fond of pretty much all the FF games, and Star Ocean as well.
8) Do you prefer 2D games or 3D games?
I suppose it depends. Can you pull of 2D? Odin Sphere was an absolutely beautiful 2D side scroller, but I've played some others that aren't nearly as nice >.> I don't care one way or the other
9) Are you an SNK fan?
I've never played any SNK games
9) Are you good at DDR?
Decent enough, though I haven't played ina long time
10) Who wants to kick that dog's ass from Duck Hunt?
Never played that one. I was never allowed to play shooters when I was younger, which might contribute to why I don't like them that much now
11) Have you skipped out on important events in life because of video games?
...I could regale you with numerous stories about how I've almost missed final exams or skipped out on social events, thereby cementing my social outcast status, because of video games. But I'd rather not X3
12) Do you listen to video game music?
*Is listening to Real Emotion from FFX-2*
13) Have you ever cosplayed a VG character?
Nope, but I've made a couple (pretty decent) costumes before
14) Have you ever been in an arcade playing a fighting game, KICKING ASS, and then some 6 year old asian kid comes in and OWNS YOU??
No >.> Wtf? X3
15) Name three games you would love to see remakes of if it was done properly.
Of course, Final Fantasy 6 needs to be redone for the PS systems... I honestly think FF7 needs to be redone and actually finished (numerous things unexplained and unfinished and whatnot)... and... umm... Street Fighter... I guess? I don't know
16) Mario or Sonic?
Sonic, hands down, could kick Mario's ass any day of the week.
17) When a movie shows up in the theaters, let's use Spider-man as an example, are you likely to buy the GAME version?
Nope. I get especially pissed when the games come out before the movies >.>
18) What is your LEAST favorite genre of video games? (ex. fighting, sports, shooters, etc.)
Sports games (save for racing) are top, followed by shooters (especially first person)
19) Is there a game out there that you feel was unique and didn't get enough love?
Okami needs a lot more love than what it got, fucking bastards >.>
20) Have you ever verbally abused a game because you couldn't beat one of the levels and/or bosses?
Probably more than what's necesarry >.> I have this tendancy to riddle my NORMAL speech with swear words, and it gets worse when I'm angry
21) Do you own any VG apparel?
Not that I can think of. I nd to not enjoy walking around like a billboard, advertising shit wherever I go (even if it is something I like)
22) What are your thoughts on the live-action Super Mario Bros movie?
It was okay, I guess. Coulda been better, but I guess...
23) On that note, what did you think about the live-action Street Fighter movie?
Huh? >.> Live action Street Fighter?
24) Who's hottest out of the KOF chicks?
Never played King of Fighters
25) Do you say "old-school" a lot when you're having a VG conversation with others?
Not really. I don't say "old-school" about anything >.> For fuck's sake, I'm only 22
26) Have you ever lent someone a game and they returned it to you damaged?
I doubt anyone who's lent any games out has had all of them returned undamaged >.>
27) Do you own any imported games?
No, I only really know English so... you know, can't exactly play a game I can't read
28) Are you ready for this meme to be over, or could you keep going?
I don't have much else to do, so have at it.
29) In this scenario, let's pretend you're going to get a video game tattoo! What would you get and where? This can be simple or elaborate.
That is an excelent question... If I could find something I like, probably.
30) Have you ever cried after you beat a game? If so why?
I've cried during some videogames, yes. Like at the end of Okami (really emotional)
An old Atari. I thought it was big shit when my parents actually let me play t too X3 Oh, Pong, you were my best friend
2) Name a few games you played on said console.
Pong and, like, the very first Pit Fall game (I think it was)
3) How many VG consoles do you own presently?
PSX, PS2, GBA, GameCube, Wii, and my computer (thought that POS hardly counts)
4) Were you a Street Fighter nut? Any character in particular?
I used to play it when I was younger X3 I've only ever played, like, the very first one. I played as Chun Li and Blanka a lot
5) Do you think Capcom is a FUCKING awesome company with kickass character designs?
Ummm... Sure, let's go with that >.> Okay, so I don;t really own more than a couple Capcom games, and they were made by Clover Studios (which I will forever hate Capcom for closing)
6) Here's the scenario.. You had some friends over and you all ate FRIED CHICKEN! After the meal you all decide to play some video games. As your friend reaches for a controller you notice his/her hands are very "greasy." Are you the type that would insist they wash their hands before pawing the controller, or is it no big deal?
I probably wouldn't care, though most of my friends would wash their hands by themselves after eating something greasy like that
7) What's your favorite RPG/Action RPG?
I have to say, my absolute favorite RPG would have to be Okami. I'm also fond of pretty much all the FF games, and Star Ocean as well.
8) Do you prefer 2D games or 3D games?
I suppose it depends. Can you pull of 2D? Odin Sphere was an absolutely beautiful 2D side scroller, but I've played some others that aren't nearly as nice >.> I don't care one way or the other
9) Are you an SNK fan?
I've never played any SNK games
9) Are you good at DDR?
Decent enough, though I haven't played ina long time
10) Who wants to kick that dog's ass from Duck Hunt?
Never played that one. I was never allowed to play shooters when I was younger, which might contribute to why I don't like them that much now
11) Have you skipped out on important events in life because of video games?
...I could regale you with numerous stories about how I've almost missed final exams or skipped out on social events, thereby cementing my social outcast status, because of video games. But I'd rather not X3
12) Do you listen to video game music?
*Is listening to Real Emotion from FFX-2*
13) Have you ever cosplayed a VG character?
Nope, but I've made a couple (pretty decent) costumes before
14) Have you ever been in an arcade playing a fighting game, KICKING ASS, and then some 6 year old asian kid comes in and OWNS YOU??
No >.> Wtf? X3
15) Name three games you would love to see remakes of if it was done properly.
Of course, Final Fantasy 6 needs to be redone for the PS systems... I honestly think FF7 needs to be redone and actually finished (numerous things unexplained and unfinished and whatnot)... and... umm... Street Fighter... I guess? I don't know
16) Mario or Sonic?
Sonic, hands down, could kick Mario's ass any day of the week.
17) When a movie shows up in the theaters, let's use Spider-man as an example, are you likely to buy the GAME version?
Nope. I get especially pissed when the games come out before the movies >.>
18) What is your LEAST favorite genre of video games? (ex. fighting, sports, shooters, etc.)
Sports games (save for racing) are top, followed by shooters (especially first person)
19) Is there a game out there that you feel was unique and didn't get enough love?
Okami needs a lot more love than what it got, fucking bastards >.>
20) Have you ever verbally abused a game because you couldn't beat one of the levels and/or bosses?
Probably more than what's necesarry >.> I have this tendancy to riddle my NORMAL speech with swear words, and it gets worse when I'm angry
21) Do you own any VG apparel?
Not that I can think of. I nd to not enjoy walking around like a billboard, advertising shit wherever I go (even if it is something I like)
22) What are your thoughts on the live-action Super Mario Bros movie?
It was okay, I guess. Coulda been better, but I guess...
23) On that note, what did you think about the live-action Street Fighter movie?
Huh? >.> Live action Street Fighter?
24) Who's hottest out of the KOF chicks?
Never played King of Fighters
25) Do you say "old-school" a lot when you're having a VG conversation with others?
Not really. I don't say "old-school" about anything >.> For fuck's sake, I'm only 22
26) Have you ever lent someone a game and they returned it to you damaged?
I doubt anyone who's lent any games out has had all of them returned undamaged >.>
27) Do you own any imported games?
No, I only really know English so... you know, can't exactly play a game I can't read
28) Are you ready for this meme to be over, or could you keep going?
I don't have much else to do, so have at it.
29) In this scenario, let's pretend you're going to get a video game tattoo! What would you get and where? This can be simple or elaborate.
That is an excelent question... If I could find something I like, probably.
30) Have you ever cried after you beat a game? If so why?
I've cried during some videogames, yes. Like at the end of Okami (really emotional)
Food?
Posted 17 years agoI found these questions and thought I'd answer them because I'm going to school to learn to cook >.>
1. Here's a simple one, name your favorite Breakfast food?
Waffles, if I have the time or drive to make them X3
2. What's your favorite mid day snack?
Mid day snack? What happened to lunch? As for a snack, I generally just graze on whatever is nearby, usually a couple cookies
3. Favorite thing for supper?
Fried chicken. Hands down >.> Beyond that, grains and pasta
4. What's your favorite fruit(s) you enjoy to eat?
I love pomegranates, but they literally dye your skin and clothes X3
5. Got a favorite veggie(s)?
Corn... is technically a grain... I guess carrots
6. We know you've been waiting for this one, what are your favorite FROZEN Treats?
Cookie dough ice cream
7. Lets hear your favorite HOT treat.
Cookies straight from the oven (notice a pattern here?)

Heath bars and Reeses Cups
9. What's your favorite food to order out for?
Can't resist Hungry Howie's peperoni and mushroom pizza with butter cheese crust
10. What's the WEIRDEST thing you've ever eaten?
Mellon (I think it was cantaloupe) with chemically cooked bacon wrapped around it. I know it sounds strange, but it was FUCKING DELICIOUS

Sushi... more specifically, it's the nori (seaweed) that sushi is generally wrapped in
12. Ok...bizarre but...what's your favorite place to get fast food from?

13. What is your favorite Restaurant/Buffet you love going to?
Heraduras... best goddamn Mexican food I've ever had (a kitchen full of Mexican immigrants will likely do that)

Posted 17 years agoSo, I really fucking love that show. Probably the single best show Nickelodeon has ever produced. And I finally got to see the last few episodes of it.
Kick. Ass. Ending.
I was, however, fairly disappointed in several cop outs the creators were too lazy to work around >.>
1) Azula's lightning. Iro specifically stated that lightning could only be used in a clear state of mind. Azula was going absolutely stark raving mad in those last few episodes. Why could she still shoot lightning?
2) Azula's blue fire. This just was never explained at all. It clearly wasn't more powerful than normal fire, nor was it a result of lightning as neither Iro nor Ozai had blue fire.
3) Zuko's lightning. Towards the end, Zuko had finally cleared his mind and conscious, so why didn't he try lightning again? I'm sure he would've remembered his uncle's teachings. It was, you know, only the most important fire bending instruction he had ever received.
4) Zuko's mother. At the end, Zuko confronted his father about his mother's whereabouts. The writers made a big deal about this whole scene... then, whoops, they cut to a scene in Ba Sing Se, where Zuko is serving tea to all of his friends, with no interest in his mother at all >.> What. The. Fuck... Seriously.
5) Aang's avatar state. Now, I realize he pretty much had to enter his avatar state to defeat Ozai, but he specifically said that he could no longer do that because his chakra flow was blocked when Azula shot him with her lightning in underground Ba Sing Se.
6) Removing bending. This was probably the worst, though they were all bad. I find it hard to believe that in the many thousands of past lives Aang had, nobody had ever bothered to learn that the avatar could remove a person's bending skills. Even one of his past air avatars said that she had never found a way to avoid killing someone if it was to protect balance. Beyond that, it was taught to him by a giant lion turtle. Major fucking cop out right there.
7) Removing bending (part 2). This sort of goes along with the one above, but only because it deals with the same subject. Aang's bending was almost taken over by Ozai. Like, 99.9999% gone... but, LO! All of a sudden Aang realized that he was stronger than this guy who was not only trained better, but who's power was also enhanced several dozen times by the power of a meteor that was passing overhead just then...
Seriously, guys. The show was awesome, and the ending was a blast to watch, but I would've been more greatly impressed without all the cheap cover ups because you jackasses were too lazy to think of a way around it.

Election Over!
Posted 17 years agoYay. Obama won. *Waves a tiny flag* Now I can stop tormenting my legs canvassing and shit >.>
Some controversial questions.
Posted 17 years ago[01] Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey?
Well... apparently, I do.
[02] Would you do meth if it was legalized, and become a strung-out, withered husk of a man/woman you are now?
Are there any pros to doing meth? No? Just cons? Okay, then... No, no I wouldn't.
[03] Abortion: for or against it?
For it. That choice belongs to the mothers and the mothers alone. There are, in fact, quite a few instances in which abortion is a better option for both the mother and the child.
[04] Do you think the world would fail with a female president?
What the fuck? Up until just a few thousand years ago, the world was entirely matriarchal and they were doing just fine. Not to mention, what the hell would the states getting a woman president have to do with the world going belly up?
[05] Do you believe in the death penalty?
Umm... I'm actually neutral on this one. I believe the punishment should fit the crime, so if the criminal killed someone purposely, then I guess killing them is justified... I don't know, to be quite honest.
[06] Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
Yes. It wouldn't be such a problem if it wasn't illegal, and it has no real negative side effects.
[07] Are you for or against premarital sex?
Sex is just a symbol of affection. I don't care if it's between lovers who aren't married or even friends who will never be married.
[08] Do you believe in God?
The Christian God? No. Not at all. Some kind of higher power? Yeah, sure. Just not some pervert who lives in the sky and created everything because he was bored.
[09] Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?
Why is it even illegal?
[10] Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?
No, not at all. People complain that they're taking all the jobs away. But you know what jobs they're getting? Grunt work. Picking fruits and harvesting vegetables. Jobs that nobody else is willing to take.
[11] A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?
Gods no >.> A child should never be allowed to raise another child.
[12] Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?
I believe so. In the states, people are allowed to smoke, drive, and die for their country long before 21. I don't think lowering the drinking age to 18 would be out of the question, especially considering how many underage drinkers there are anyway. People don't cause crimes, laws do.
[13] Should the war in Iraq be called off?
The way was a farce to begin with. It should've never started.
[14] Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
No. I honestly believe there are people out there who are better off dead. If they want to die, that's their prerogative and their choice.
[15] Do you believe in spanking your children?
Yes. I don't have any but I would if I did.
[16] Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
A million dollars? I'd do it for free given the right circumstances >.>
[17] Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama?
Let's see. A guy's who's nothing more than another Bush or someone who, if you listen to close enough, isn't actually saying anything... I'd have to go with Obama. He can't possibly screw up as much as Bush has or McCain would.
[18] Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
Don't really care >.>
[19] The President has been kidnapped by NINJAS! Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the President??
The current president? Even if I was bad-ass enough, I wouldn't care. In fact, I'd probably be the guy who hired the ninjas in the first place. Though, at this point, it's rather moot.
Well... apparently, I do.
[02] Would you do meth if it was legalized, and become a strung-out, withered husk of a man/woman you are now?

Fire Emblem POTENTIAL GAYNESS!
Posted 17 years agoI fucking LOVE the Fire Emblem series. Seriously, it's at LEAST 32 flavors of awesome.
Of course, having obtained a Wii, Radiant Dawn was one of the first games I got for it (the very first was Okami). Now for the fun stuff...
I recently came across some information about a secret conversation between Ike and Soren in this game. Dun dun DUUUUUUN. If several (slightly vague) conditions can be fulfilled, Ike and Soren will have a very special conversation at the beginning of the last chapter of the game, that has a lot of people up in arms about a potential Ike/Soren combination. Ooh la la. I certainly hope it's as gay as people are making it sound X3
It wouldn't necessarily surprise me, either. In the second part of the game, you encounter a Rogue by the name of Heather who is, quite obviously, a lesbian.
No, seriously, she is X3 It's kind of amusing. She's always fawning over (and hitting on) every woman she sees (like Nephenee) and hates men with a passion.

Ya know...
Posted 17 years agoFood is probably the best analog to compare how kids are different from their parents.
Take my grandpa's recipe for fried chicken. He obtained the original recipe from an old war buddy of his, and ended up changing it around quite a bit. His recipe is simple enough. Coat in flour, salt, pepper, and fry in oil. Simple, but it took my mom 20 years to get the chicken the way she likes it.
What's funny, though? Even after getting it "right," there was something different about it from my grandpa's recipe. She took to frying her chicken in melted shortening rather than oil. If you think it produces the same effect, you're sadly mistaken. Chicken fried in vegetable oil doesn't achieve the same texture or flavor of chicken fried in shortening.
It's taken me considerably less than 20 years to get the recipe for my mom's fried chicken down, naturally. And even then, it's different.
My chicken? It's crispier and has slightly more pepper in it. I cook it longer on each side before flipping it in the pan, which causes the flour coating to crisp up better and darker.
It's a simple comparison, but accurate. We don't really differ from our parents a great deal, despite what we may wish to believe. After all, we learn most of what we know from them.
Sorry. I just felt like waxing philosophic for a bit X3

Imagine...
Posted 17 years agoSo imagine this.
It's been... what? Somewhere around a year since the Wii was released and it's still a hard find. Today, after a couple months of hopeful searching, you manage to find a store that has a couple of them left in stock. Rather excited, you grab one up while you have the chance. You also grab an extra remote and nunchuk, just to be sure, as well as a game you've been excited about playing.
A couple more hours of shopping and dinner at a delicious restaurant you almost never get to go to, you finally get home and immediately break out your new toy. You set it up and play a few games of Tennis or Bowlin from Wii Sports with your family. After about an hour or so, you lay claim to test out the game you bought. You remove Wii Sports and put in the new CD and a sudden power flicker, possibly from a surge protector being overloaded from the sheer awesome of your new system, cuts the flow of electricity to your system. No biggie. You unplug it and put it in a different outlet, one where nothing else is plugged in, and reset everything else.
One problem. There is no more power flow to your Wii. At all. No matter where you plug it in. Beyond that, your game is still stuck in the drive. You frantically search through the manuals looking for a troubleshooting guide to see if anything can help. After a few fruitless attempts to get your Wii to turn on , you finally give up and look online about repairs. The words "9-11 business days after receiving" appear. Now that's not just a generic 9-11 days: those are business days. Monday through Friday only. Meaning that after receiving the broken system, it'll take them 2 more weeks to fix it and send it back out.
....
Fuck you, Nintendo >.> Fuck you right in the ass, you goddamn bastards. I swear, if this isn't covered in the warranty, I'm going to hunt you cheap fuckers down and kill the lot of you.

Posted 17 years agoUpdates updates updates....
So I'm 22 as of July 3 (huzzah), and my birthday went pretty much as planned: nothing happened. At all >.> Le sigh.
I'm sure I didn't mention this before, but I'm going to school for the summer quarter since I basically can't do anything else. Speech class is fun. Final speech is next week. I was thinking of doing another demonstration speech, but there's no real craft stores where I live, so most of my demonstration ideas are pretty much shot >.>
English is, once again, proving to be a thorn in my side because of how I like to write. The rough draft for our final paper is due tomorrow (10 pages, 8 sources) and I haven't done much of anything in the way of writing. I don't like doing rough drafts - I've gotten perfect scores on my last 3 papers without writing rough drafts- and, yet, if I don't do this one, the teacher will have to fail me, so I basically have to bullshit my way up to a rough draft for tomorrow. No fun >.>
Ah well. Still no job. Still no nothing. Later dayz people.

The rough draft for our final paper is due tomorrow (10 pages, 8 sources) and I haven't done much of anything in the way of writing. I don't like doing rough drafts - I've gotten perfect scores on my last 3 papers without writing rough drafts- and, yet, if I don't do this one, the teacher will have to fail me, so I basically have to bullshit my way up to a rough draft for tomorrow. No fun >.>
Ah well. Still no job. Still no nothing. Later dayz people.
Holy crap
Posted 17 years agoI'll be 22 here in... 11 days and I don't know how I should feel about it all things considered.
Love and Hate
Posted 17 years agoYou know what I absolutely love? Comics.
I used to read a lot when I was little. In fact, by the 6th grade, I was reading at an advanced college level. But, eventually, books just started blending together. It got... boring, like I was reading the same thing over and over.
Then, I found comics. Not those crappy superhero comics where the same thing happens in each issue, just in a different manner.
Batman: Oh noes! The city's in danger from (insert villain name here)!
Superman: Oh noes! The city's in danger from (insert villain name here)! And/or a giant meteor!
Feh. I mean slice of life comics like Circles and ASB. Well-written, well-drawn comics that the reader can relate to. Yes, there are quite a few books like that, but there's something about giving the characters form beyond words that makes it different. It's like you can immediately engage in the characters emotions and actions without having to mull about trying to imagine how they look or react to something.
In fact, I just had the honor of finishing reading ASB (Associated Student Bodies for those of you poor saps who are unfamiliar with it). It was an absolutely wonderful and engaging story with dynamic and beautiful characters.
There is one thing I absolutely hate about those kinds of comics, though, and it's really my own fault. I tend to become... too enamored with their world. Many times to the point of where I feel literally depressed that I can't be a part of it. I always hate it when the story has to end.
I suppose mostly it's just because my world is... less than wonderful. Both of my parents have distanced themselves from me since I told them I was gay. My dad more so physically, while my mom continues to try and convince me I'm just bisexual. My sister treats me more like a personal slave than her own brother, bitching at me when I do something she didn't want me to. I live in an area where gay isn't good, and I'm treated like a fucker leper. There's no way out for me yet, so all I can do is grin and bear it.
I honestly think I have depression. Like, a literal psychological case of being depressed. I've just lived with it so long I've learned to ignore the voices in my head that tell me to kill.
I guess I'm just bitching, really, but I'm almost 22 years old and I still have absolutely no power in my own life. I can't do anything drastic or else I'll end up with nothing. If I could at least get a job, I could save up and get the fuck out of here, start a new life somewhere that... sucks a lot less.
Anywho, I'm done now. I just wanted to bitch a little bit.
