I'm sure many of you have wondered where I've been. Let me lay it out straight to you: I do not have enough time to sufficiently get on Gaia anymore. Between school work, work work, and travelling, I barely have enough time to check my email, much less roleplay. My apologies to you all for this. I wish the best for all of you. I've enjoyed my days on Gaia, but it's come to an end for sure now.

Since my previous posts have been heavy-laden with philosophical chitter-chatter, I felt it was time for something...lighter. So, here it goes! Now, I know that the majority of us have a sarcastic bone somewhere in our body. This is dedicated to that very bone! Huzzah!
1)And your cry baby whiny assed opinion would be.....?
2)This isn't an office, it's hell with fluorescent lighting.
3)I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.
4)I pretend to work. They pretend to pay me.
5)Sarcasm is just one of the services we offer.
6)If I throw a stick will you leave??
7)Does your train of thought have a caboose?

9)Ohhh, let me turn on the part of my brain that gives a damn.
10)Whatever look you were going for, you missed.
11)Well, this day was a total waste of make-up .
12)See no evil, hear no evil, date no evil.
13)Are these your eyeballs? I found them in my cleavage.
14)Not all men are annoying, some are dead.
15)Did I mention that kick in the groin you'll be receiving if you touch me?
16)I'm trying to imagine you with a personality.
17)A cubicle is just a padded cell without the door.
1 cool Stress is when you wake up screaming and realize you haven't fallen asleep yet.

I see why most of your cliche coming-of-age stories take place in Highschool. It's in this stage of life that you truly get to see adulthood in a different light. As an innocent child, you only knew of the positives: no one can boss you around, you get to boss others around, and you get to buy whatever you want. In highschool, adulthood suddenly sheds its light, happy masks and reveals it true side. Corruption, hypocracy, hate, and jealousy rule adulthood. Sometimes, its impossible not to get swamped by the gravity of adulthood's faults. Let's all be honest: it's just plain overwhelming. No matter what you do or say to point out someone else's plummet into these faults, you yourself are ignoring the log in your own eye. Your heart becomes stained, tainted. Not even the best detergent seems to purify it anymore. To put it bluntly: you're screwed.
Of course, not all young adults are as aware of the corruption as others. This ignorance follows them into adulthood, and they live the only way they know how to live: in the darkness of corruption. That's where the old saying 'Ignorance is bliss' comes into view. Yet, I am helplessly aware of my thirst for the unachievable perfection from these faults. All the tries to bleach my heart have been to no avail, for each time one stain is removed, another appears. It's much like housekeeping. No matter how many jobs you finish, there's always another task to do. It's enough to drive a kid mad. So, here's what I encourage you to do: Keep faith. Don't tire of your self-purifying sessions, but don't become obsessed with it. You arn't perfect, and you never will be. That doesn't mean you can't try, and I encourage you to try with all your might. Try your hardest to win even though you're destined to lose. Accept your faults, and do what you can to change them. Humanity's worst enemy is the log in their own eye that goes unnoticed while they're plucking at a chip in their brethren's eyes. By removing the logs, we will be providing others less chips to fret over.
Another point: don't just focus on your faults. If you're good points go unnoticed, they will fade to naught. While maintaining a decent portion of your faults, it is of utmost importance that you refine and sharpen your good points. Others will notice your strife, and find inspiration from it. They two will begin to fix their own logs and brighten their own light. I guess my main point is this: no matter how dark and looming adulthood seems, you mustn't be disheartened by it. You must attack the grime and sludge with a brush and seek out the clean surface beneath it. There remains only one question: Do you have the faith and energy to keep waging that battle? I sure hope you do.

Everyone has a pet-peeve of some sort. If someone said they didn't, they were lying through their teeth. I'm not usually one to complain about mine, but this pet was itching to get out of its cage. Pardon the bad pun.At least once in your life you've met someone who constantly plays the dreaded Pity-Card. You know what I mean. There are just some people who, in the play of life, seem to favor the role of woe-is-me. I'm not saying any names, and I am fully aware that there are those who can't help themselves. If you know how to function a computer, chances are you're not who I have in mind as I am typing this.
The thing that irks me the most about them is their inability to act. If they're bothered about anything, they complain and wait for someone to fix the problem for them. Nothing comes from nothing. Someday, someone isn't going to fix the problem, and the Pity-Card Players will go into violent seizures. Or, they'll mope in a corner until they rot. I've been reading the Bushido lately, and it's further pointed out how irksome these people all. Pity-Cards arn't found in the decks of Samurai. So there. Continuing on this card metaphor, I'd like to share a bit of personal history. I'm an advid card-player, and anyone who knows me knows I'm hardly ever caught without my trusty deck. As of late, however, I've begun to regret discarding my jokers the moment I opened my deck. Though jokers are incredibly worthless ninety-nine percent of the time, they do have their uses. Such is the way of the pity-card. Don't discard it; the pity-card has its uses when getting yourself out of dire trouble. Rather, set it aside for the entire time it isn't needed. To play it at an unnecessary time in the game of life is tantamount to forfeiting the game. That's not a good thing. Rather, try on some other cards for size. Take my personal favorite: the GOYB or GOYC cards. These cards, more commonly known as Get of Your Butt or Get off your couch, are life altering. For once in your miserable, sorry life shoot for the moon. Go and achieve that long-admired dream. Don't think that you'll never be anything else other than the bearer of sorrow. I'm sorry, Mr.Durden, but you really don't have to hit rock bottom and stay there to reach enlightenment. Sure, you'll hit rock bottom a few times in your life (it's inevitable). Whether you have the strength to use that momentum to reach the highest of highs is up to you.
Don't wallow in your gloom because you'll drown in it. Don't play the pity-card because it'll cost you the game. Don't let sorrow glue your butt to the couch as life passes you by. Life is fleeting, life is sweet. Set your pity-card aside, and learn what it means to be truly happy. Live with the faith that the sun still shines behind the darkest storm cloud, and with the faith that what's beyond the horizon is even better. As an apology to Mr.Durden, I quote: This is your life, and it's ending one moment at a time. The question is this: Are you truly Living it?
Another thing on these Pity-card Players: They tend to make mountains out of Mole Hills. So what if the hills happen to be 6.02 x 1023? It's Mole Day, people! They're supposed to be that big! So, have a happy Mole-day, and don't get too plastered with our fellow Chemistry dorks! xp

Horror-Movie Survival Guide |

It happens to us all. We're just minding our own business, and the unexpected happens. You hit a guy on the road. You take a wrong turn. You escape death. You make a poor judgement on what house to buy. You make any mistake that puts you into the wrong place at the wrong time, and, next thing you know, some psycho's aiming to disembowel you. Whoop-de-friggin-do. He's no concern to you! You've got this handy,dandy horror movie survival guide! YAY! ( Guide from lotsofjokes.com 3nodding )
If the house you're living in tells you to "GO AWAY", do so immediately.
Never take a bath or shower with a maniac/spirit/demon/creature in the house.
When it appears that you have killed the maniac/spirit/demon/creature, DO NOT check to see if he/she/it is really dead. Keep hacking at it until it is in pieces small enough not to be a threat to you. If you've shot at it, shoot it again in the head, and remember, shoot till it stops moving, and then keep shooting till you're out of ammo. Then reload and shoot it some more. Then set it on fire and burn it up, this works with everything except demons and spirits. Then get the hell out of there!
If plumbing fixtures or other structures in your home begin shaking and spewing body fluids, it's time to leave.
Never read aloud from a book that summons demons. Even as a joke.
Don't look under the bed.
Do not search the basement, especially if the power has just gone out.
If trees, TVs, or other objects try to consume your children, save as many as you can and then get the hell out of the area.
If relatives or pets come back from the dead, don't approach them and ask "What did you come back to do?"
If inanimate objects such as dolls, toys, or furniture attack you, be prudent, leave the area.
If you've hidden from the maniac/spirit/demon/creature and you are not found, do not peek from or decide it's safe to leave your hiding place. If you do decide to leave, scan the ground for twigs before you take a step.
It is very, very dangerous to back into, or through rooms.
If your children speak to you in Latin or any other language which they do not know, or if they speak to you using a voice which is other than their own, shoot them immediately.
When you have the benefit of numbers, never, ever, pair off, or go in alone. The more people the maniac/spirit/demon/creature is distracted by, the better "your" chance of escape.
Never get into a car without first checking the back seat for occupants.
If demons begin possessing your companions, it's a good idea to leave the area as soon, and as quickly as possible.
If your companions start turning up dead, make yourself scarce before someone else does it for you. Worry about funerals later.
If you've just finished running over the maniac/spirit/demon/creature in your car, keep going. Most certainly do not get out of the car under any circumstances to see if he/she/it is "really" dead.
As a general rule, don't try to solve puzzles that open portals to Hell.
Don't fall asleep if you have a history of homicidal/suicidal nightmares.
If you're searching for something which caused a noise and find out that it's just the cat, leave the room immediately or else you will quickly die.
If appliances start operating by themselves, you are in danger.
Do not accept/take anything from the dead.
If priests won't or can't enter your home, start looking for a new home.
If you discover the place you are visiting is known for its history of mass murders, deaths, freak accidents, or supernatural occurrences, leave.
Never pick up a hitchhiker or stop to aid a suspicious person, especially if he/she/it resembles Santa Claus or Satan.
If your space ship gets a alien distress signal from what appears to be a dead planet, don't stop to check it out.
Never put your back to or lean on a door.
Never take the dare to spend a night in a haunted house.
Never speak to clowns in sewers.
Never accept gifts from strangers, especially if you suspect that they are really supernatural beings.
If you're running from the maniac/spirit/demon/creature, expect to trip and/or fall down at least twice, more if you are female. Do not turn to look back, if you do, you stand a good chance of tripping immediately and being killed. If you turn and look back, and you don't see the maniac/spirit/demon/creature chasing you, stop and run immediately back the way you came because the maniac/spirit/demon/creature is now in front of you.
If your companions exhibit uncharacteristic behavior such as hissing, biting, thirst for blood, howling, glowing eyes, unnatural hairiness, marked resemblance to demons, excretion of ectoplasm or other forms of gelatinous goo, flaming appendages, extra appendages, etc., get as far away from them as possible.
Listen closely to the soundtrack for hints on what is going on around you. Use all resources available, especially the audience, for on the average, they are much, much more intelligent than you could ever hope to be.
Stay away from certain geographical locations, some of which are listed here: Amityville, Elm Street, Crystal Lake, Transylvania, Nilbog (God help you if you recognize this one), Mydian, Questa Verde, the Bermuda Triangle, or any small town in Maine.
Beware of transvestite doctors that sing.
Avoid secluded mountain resorts, especially those which keep 'Redrum' in stock.
Beware of strangers bearing tools of destruction such as chainsaws, staple guns, chipper/shredders, weed poppes, combines, lawnmowers, knives, flamethrowers, band saws, crossbows, napalm, grenades, high-powered rifles, gophers wielding axes, laser pistols, or Alludium Q-36 explosive space modulators.
If you're going to shoot something, in the immortal words of Robert Ruark, african game hunter, "USE ENOUGH GUN."

...do you like scary movies? |
|

Is it me, or have scary movies drastically declined in their scariness over the past decade? It seems like horror films are relying more on, I quote, 'sadistic gore' to chill, disturb and even thrill. Well, even though I often laugh at gore, I'd like to say how sick I am of gore in 'scary' movies. There are only so many ways to splatter all eight liters of someone's blood before things start getting redundant....or just plain masochistic. What ever happened to the clever directing techniques? What happened to unpredicatability in horror movies? And, above all else, what's with all these scantily clad 'hot babes' running dramatically from the villian/creature/spirit/thing? All of these concerns cornered me as surely as Jason would as I was browsing through the horror-genre films at Best Buy. Title after title, I began to notice something was wrong. 'House of One-thousand Corpses': rated R for sadistic violence. Sadistic violence! They're a bunch of people in a gas-station who enjoy killing! Sheesh! 'Wrong Turn' had a bonus feature called 'Babe in the woods'. WTF, mate! She freaking got semi-decapitated by one of the many psychos in the film! (the psycho cut off her head from the jaw up). A slightly older title, 'The Ring', was essentially about a girl climbing out of televisions and killing people seven days after they watched her film. I don't know about you, but I think that horror-movie enthusiasts would die seven days after watching any of those films due to poor-directing induced depression. I miss the clever bad-guy-popping-up-when-you-least-expect-it films, the insinuated-gore done Psycho-style, the cheesy but nonetheless eery themesongs, and, most of all, movies that are scary even after the first viewing. Let me make this clear: I'm not trying to offend anyone. If you like any movies bashed in this rant, don't come weeping to me. I have no problem with that. Heck, I can even see how you might enjoy them. I'm stating a personal opinion. Perhaps it isn't the quality of scary movies declining afterall; perhaps it's merely a decrease in my capacity to fear. Perhaps, as you get older, scary movies just lose their charm. Whether movies have been getting better, or whether I've been getting braver, I turn my hopes toward this holiday's titles. The new Exorcist looks intriguing; the Grudge looks entertaining (Scary? Naw...can anything featuring Buffy be scary?). Perhaps our directors will see their wrongs and make movies more terrifying. Or, perhaps I'll suddenly turn into a bed-wetting pansy over night. Now that would make a scary movie!
