It's what I want that's easy; It's getting it that's complicated.
I've been quiet on here, but my thoughts are spread out over all the cool kid social networking sites now. . . or something. My myspace page.My facebook page.My Youtube profile.I'm the most active on facebook. I don't really post videos on youtube, but am otherwise fairly regular and active there. I, uh, have a myspace page. It's totally there. So, if for some reason people still read this, if they also are members of those sites, feel free to request me as a friend on any of the three.

Angelina, it's science; we never laugh.
Sometimes, when I see someone else on youtube.com or in person that has mastered programming, math, or Japanese I get a bit discouraged. I think that everyone else started younger than me and can already get any job that I'd ever want. I can only hope to mitigate the speed at which the gap grows. So, I don't deserve that credit that people give because I'm going to fail it. And, I don't deserve the chance I've been given because I'm going to blow it. Maybe, I don't deserve the life I've been given because I'm going to waste it. Then I think, "Ooh shiny." So, I salute you, ADD. Your ability to allow me to move on has always been monumental. Someone buy my ADD a round of red bulls. He's put in a fair day's work, and I've forgotten to give him a fair day's pay. Cause you know. . . I stabbed the guy. That wasn't the first time that I saved Christmas. Shut up. <_< Pants. Current Mood:  33% SeriousCurrent Music: Please megaman don't!! (i.e.: none) | | Tuesday, December 16th, 2008 | | 3:38 am |
They don't need me here, and I know you're there.
Apparently calculus gets hard. Who knew? Also, my Japanese teacher at CoD won some national teacher of the year award specific to Japanese teachers in America or something. This somewhat validates my high opinion of him. Contrary to this was the java class out of which I dropped. I had never dropped a class I was getting a B in before this semester, but the teacher was awful. (I was getting an A until I stopped doing homework since I knew I was going to drop.) Well, back to studying for the calculus final. Current Mood:  o_O;Current Music: A fan in the background | | Wednesday, May 28th, 2008 | | 8:46 pm |
I slow dance with the money: grind slowly. This system ain't corrupt it's unholy.
Hrm, so I had a retarded analogy pop into my head whilst at work. It's not good or thought provoking, but it was in my head so it would be unfair of reality if I couldn't hurt your brain cells with my inanity. The raw image that a camera captures is a .RAW form so. . . An idea is .RAW. Our speech is .JPG since it's a lossy method for expressing the ideas. Words are the algorithm for the conversion. Essentially, words are always inadequate to fully convey the meaning of any idea we have. They provide a reasonable facsimile to the world, but it is a genuine rarity that someone winds up with an exact copy of our idea in their mind. Anyway. . .

Don't want to be an American idiot.
3 - 100 6 - 90 to 99 6 - 80 to 89 2 - 70 to 79 2 - 40 to 49 1 - 30 to 39 That's the score breakdown from the last test we had in the intro to psychology course. Why is this shocking? The teacher taught from the study guide. The study guide contained everything from the test plus very little that wasn't. Then, right before the test, the teacher asked the class the questions from the test, got the correct answer from the class (eventually), and then repeated the answer back to the class. This was all within a single 50 minute class period. With preparation like that, there's little excuse for a B, and there's no excuse for anything below a B. Most of the information on the short test should have still been in working/short-term memory. I think it goes without saying, but, yes, I was one of the 100's. Then again, I got all 100's on all 3 tests in that class. I think this says it nicely.  I imagine my summer classes will be more intelligent, but they're not 1100 (110 at ICC) level classes. Then again, my pre-calculus class this past semester was almost as bad, but it was infinitely more amusing. I suppose the teacher was better as well. Fred Yuen's first language obviously wasn't English, but he did speak it better than a lot of people who were born here. It gave the teacher more character in a way. Regardless, I have yet to have a math teacher I don't like in college. I hope this trend continues.

A melancholy disposition brought about by worthless trinkets that are relics of a happier time is annoying at best. I never look forward to packing for something long term. Current Mood: HrmCurrent Music: Morrissey - Southpaw | | Sunday, September 2nd, 2007 | | 11:11 pm |
But then things got complicated, my inner sense has all but faded.
Time is alkahest. That's why alchemists couldn't truly isolate it. It has numbing properties to the touch, not healing properties. Just because you don't feel any pain, does not mean injury is undone. Healing is a biological or psychological process, not a temporal one. This is just my retarded hypothesis.

Excuse the bitchin' I shouldn't complain
Well, today I unofficially put in my 2 weeks notice at Sam's Club. By unofficially, I walked into the managers office and said "There's a 99.9% chance I'm quitting in two weeks. As in, the only way I'm staying is if I am completely, flat-out denied financial aid at school." So, I have now officially decided which job I'm leaving. Last week was pretty much the final straw. What happened last week? Well, I'm so glad you didn't ask, but I'm going to tell you anyway. Well, rather. . . I'm going re-post an AIM conversation. But first, let me set up the day. I felt horrible. I was sick. It was very hot. It was very humid. I was closing by myself on a friday night in midsummer(which is very busy there). I had just done a few load-outs from 8:10 to 8:25 that consisted of lifting 20 large bags of water softener salt. I had to request repeatedly to get any help with the second load out since people are idiots and try to fit very large things into vehicles that can barely accommodate the purchase. Having someone /watch/ me lift several large bags of salt and then finally help after I had loaded the first 12 or so because I made it clear by my actions that "be careful with the bags" wasn't being heeded. Finally, I still had a chip on my shoulder from the way they treated Steve and my verbal warning for calling in after gashing my hand open. So, customers, employees, the weather, and my health all put me in a crappy mood from the beginning. So, I begin doing my job to close the garage door that the carts go through. Zack and Steve walk up to me. I was going as fast as I could and payed them as much attention as I could without slowing down my work progress. So, I was working as fast as I could at closing the garage door which was the only thing that is supposed to be done by a certain time. Now, cut to 8:29 when the events of my aim conversation begin. The manager actually said more to Steve and Zack than it says there, but that is all that I remember for certain. I still think that Steve should file a complaint since he is a member and she was quite rude. A fair warning, there is also slight profanity in the aim conversation if anyone actually cares. Anyway, without further ado. . . nezumisama: I mean seriously, text has a numbing quality on emotion through tone obviously, but last week I snapped on the assistant manager of the club. . . she walked up and yelled at my friends and was all. . . "You two have to leave, he is at work." Now, my friends had walked up to me about 2 minutes prior so we weren't standing around goofing off for hours. nezumisama: And sam's doesn't own the property, simon does. nezumisama: And they don't work for her. Amsel aka Antje: Seriously. nezumisama: AND steve was actually HOLDING something he bought inside. nezumisama: Add those up. nezumisama: That bitch was out of line. nezumisama: I don't care who she is. I was rude back to her. She was all we close the door at 8:30. I replied with. I know how to do my job. I've worked here for over a year. I know when we close. I don't need you to tell me when to do things. As a matter of fact, if you look, that's what I'm actually doing right now. nezumisama: She was all, I don't like your tone. I can send you home right now with a write up if that's what you want.. nezumisama: I was all. . . . . . . . . . . whatever. Amsel aka Antje: *nods* nezumisama: And she got all mad and was that's not respect for the individual (it's okay for her to disrespect my friends, you see they're not an individual or so steve, zack and I joked afterward) only she said that before the write up. . . nezumisama: so we were going inside to get me a write up. . . nezumisama: and I was all, but I don't see how writing me up is going to get the job done? nezumisama: I figure since you like to close at 8:30 so much, you'd actually let me do my job as I was doing when you came outside. nezumisama: So, I went outside, and I went in and talked to her and gave an insincere apology. . . (well it was sincere at the time since I generally feel bad about almost anything) nezumisama: and I didn't get in any trouble. nezumisama: I still think she's a cunt and she deserved every little bit of rudeness she got. . . which wasn't much. . . nezumisama: since I did have a snide tone, but I didn't say anything offensive. nezumisama: Oh noez! The cart attendent has a condescending tone! My authoritah isn't being respected! nezumisama: I'm a petty, pompous manager at Sam's Club. Rawr. Amsel aka Antje: *chuckle* People get the most worked up over exerting control when said control doesn't really matter worth a damn in the big scheme of things. Amsel aka Antje: But I do need to get to bed. Take care! nezumisama: Well, she was going to report it to the manager because I was just so rude. . . nezumisama: anyway yeah, I'm going to post this in my LJ while it's on my screen. So, yeah. It's not much, but the fact that I've never gotten anyone to apologize for anything. Ask any of my friends about how much apologies mean to me. They will tell you that I will forgive just about anything with a sincere apology. She didn't apologize once just like anyone important at Sam's Club. She was defensive the entire time. She justified her actions with things that were irrelevant. "You were rude to my friends", I said. "I was not; I have witnesses", was her reply. Umm, hello? I was there. All three of us say she was rude, a witness standing far off is rather irrelevant. Let me correct those last few phrases. "You were rude to my friends." "So? Another employee will vouch that I was in the right, so complaining to the Manager will get you nowhere." Ah, there, that feels better. Okay, sorry for the complaining, but at least I updated. ^^_ In other news, I have a psychic sanctioned on the www.white-wolf.com official chat. Someone else should join me so we can be retarded together. ^^_ Current Mood:  AnnoyedCurrent Music: Blind Melon - Lemonade | | Thursday, July 12th, 2007 | | 12:02 am |
How could we know fine living makes you slow?
I'm 30 at 9:44 central. Whee. So, merry me-mas. I guess. Anyway, here are some images from Anthrocon. We had protesters.  Short story to go with this picture. ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) bokutou and I went out the back of the convention center. Some lady approached us outside and started yelling at us. Apparently we weren't allowed to go to the area with outside stairs to the roof. So, some other con-goer approached us who came in from outside. She asked if that lady had just yelled at us. After we told her that she had, she replied stating that there were a ton of people outside and that an elevator would take us to the roof. We weren't told that we couldn't go to the roof so we took the elevator and bypassed the stairs. So, rules were bent, and here is one of the pictures from the roof. It was worth risking getting in trouble. It was more beautiful in person.  I hate Final Fantasy 7. I hate advent Children. This fursuit rocks.

I like rainbows, leafy trails, and puppy dogs with bumble-bees.
Well, here's the semi-occasional update. I still have two jobs. They haven't changed. One is Sam's Club where I push carts. The other is Toys R Us where I sell video games. I am currently enrolled in Mat 108 (Intermediate Algebra). I am tied for highest grade in my tiny 19 student class. I will hopefully be going back full time in the fall to the local community college. I will be quitting Sam's Club upon that. I have recently purchased Atelier Iris 3, Dawn of Mana, Odin Sphere, and Grim Grimoire for PS2. I also have gotten Etrian Odyssey, Metroid Pinball, Freedom Wings, Pokemon Diamond, Pokemon Pearl, and Nanostray for the DS. And, there are a few others I'm forgetting. Out of those, Atelier Iris 3, Grim Grimoire, and Etrian Odyssey have kept me interested the longest. So, that's the update. Here's the near future itinerary. I am going to go to Anthrocon in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania July 5-8. I have my ticket to get out there. I do not have a return plan as of yet. Since all of my friends were uncertain until last week I procrastinated upon getting the train tickets. I managed to get one out there, but am still fuzzy on the return plan. So, here's hoping I don't get stuck in a different state. ^^_ Well, now it is time to get ready for work for the job that I hate.

No static. Got an automatic. Too much of anything makes you an addict.
I've got it! My manager at the arcade was skinny. So, I give you the G. Strickler diet! Breakfast: NOTHING! Lunch: Energy Drink Dinner: Energy Drink It's genius! I think it will work. Now all I have to do is give up eating. . . That shouldn't be too hard considering how much a 12 pack of Red Bull costs. It's usually around 20 dollars where I live. Other than that, I still work at Toys R Us. It turns out the person to which I gave my schedule is inept at getting it to the proper people. Finally, on the topic of Red Bull, I give you a MSN conversation. Lv 29 Skeleton Psychic - Nibelung Valesti! の発言 (履歴): I theorize that sephiroth only drank half a red bull.

I might join your century, but only as a doubtful guest.
So, it was near the end of the work day, and it was the last "load out" of the day. They had already called us up to the exit door and we were about to load a LCD HDTV. Some genius pipes in over the radio, "Be careful with that tv; It's expensive." I looked at my co-worker a bit angered that they thought that we didn't realize that a Sony HDTV would be both fragile and expensive. I replied back, "Does that mean that we should not be careful with cheap TVs?" I never did get a response. Also, a different co-worker states that scientists cannot tell us that unprotected sex that leads to overpopulation is bad for the planet. I was informed by him that they never have sex. It's sad that the great minds never have children. Apparently environmentalist Al Gore doesn't have a kid either since he warns about overpopulation. I guess that kid is actually one awesome Chia Pet. I work with idiots. ^^_ Current Mood: MiffedCurrent Music: Pearl Jam - Leash | | Thursday, December 28th, 2006 | | 12:11 am |

I swear I recognize your breath.
No, I cannot do a good Destro impersonation. Like my nickname from high school, some things need to die. You may have heard that I do a really good one. Let me dismiss those accusations here and now. It was the harmonics of the car. Furthermore, I cannot see through steel despite my claims that I can. However, I maintain the claim that two pounds of saffron will kill me. Someone should try it out and see if one pound makes me sick. Now, I shall speak briefly on my presents. I received a 5-mega-pixel Canon camera with 4x optic zoom, Gunpey for DS, Valkyrie Profile Lenneth for PSP, quite a bit of Fannie May candy, two bags of mint M&Ms (which I get every year), Cashews(which I also get every year), socks(in your face James!), and a DS USB WiFi. Valkyrie Profile is spiffy. Gunpey (named after Gunpei Yokoi) isn't revolutionary, but it is pretty neat. The Nintendo USB Wi-Fi cannot be used to connect your PSP to the net without using third party software and severe tinkering. The camera actually takes really decent movies. The frame rate is bad, but the resolution is phenomenal for a camera in its price range(at least compared to what I've seen). The start up time which is just slightly longer than one actual second is excellent as well. It may even start up faster than Fred's camera. That is all. Welp, that's my momma.

I'm not growing up, I'm just burning out.
So, then I stabbed the guy. Hmm, that's supposed to make a boring story better. I figured that it must be 100% goodness and would work on it's own. Apparently, that thought was made of fail and aids. Anyway. . . because you* demanded it! I'm posting. Here is my life in the past 6 months in a nutshell (in mostly chronological order). Got a job at Sam's Club. I hate the job more than eating week old chicken. Well, I do like fried chicken a lot, so, I hate the job more than the fact that the local Mexican restaurant that I loved and have gone to since I was a little kid is now a super shitty "authentic" restaurant. When I started it was the hottest week of the year. I got sunburned, and I /still/ have a tan. Tans suck. Tans are a sign of damaged skin. People move into my mom's house and do nothing that they are supposed to do. Instead of working on the house, they mostly denigrate me and talk "behind my back" with me present, teach the dog that lives here that it's okay to urinate and defecate inside the house, throw my sister's cat outside (which none of us have seen since), scare my cat into nearly starving itself to death, scare my sister's cat(she had two) into nearly starving to death, and pretty much make me disgusted to be at my house so that I practically lived with James until they left. HOLY CRAP! James pays Neko back! In the distance, if you listen closely. . . do you hear that? Someone in Hell just said, "Brrr." I took the money and purchased a new laptop. It is a laptop/tablet convertible from Gateway. CX2724 I think is the model number. I'm too lazy to look. A few months later I get a job at Toys R Us. A month later, I go to Fur Fest with James, Steve, and Fred. It was neat. I mostly played Final Fantasy III on my DS though. I was going to bid $340 on a single piece of art but the other guy went up to $345. It was a pretty picture, indeed. It was a kirin in a martini glass. I don't even like kirin(s?) so you know it had to be pretty awesome. Two weeks later, I finally got the pink PSP. To my amazement, it has no dead pixels. I have been working both jobs with very few days off. Good things in the past 6 months: Furfest(meeting old friends, buying stuff, getting James to go, Mitsuwa trips, Spunky), experience in retail selling video games, Steve moving /back/ to Peoria, being employed at two jobs(even though I hate them[mostly Sam's] being employed is always good), having worked with Steve at Sam's for a brief period, James getting me a laptop, pink PSP, purchasing several games for DS(Pokemon Mystery Dungeon!) and PSP, sleeping. . . when I get to do so, and. . . that's all that comes to mind. I haven't posted because this kind of stuff just isn't interesting. -_- Well, the comedy Nazi says, "No funny for you!" Merry Christmas and stuff. *Assuming you are tiamatdraconis.

A very deeply flawed man, they called him Eric Bauman. He was a total a__hole and nobody knows why.
Well, it's been a while since I posted. Anyway, I'm sure people have harped about this on here, but I'm going to post it here, too. If you live in the USA and use the internet, this affects you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5RQrxkGgCM&search=http://www.savetheinternet.com/So call your Representative and tell them to keep the internet the way it is and not let it degrade or some crap. The video is worth watching if you meet either criterion, but only directly pertinent if you live in the USA. Also, since most people on my list that actually read this are in Illinois. LaHood voted COPE in without Net Neutrality. So, be sure to write him a nasty letter. As for me, I had a job at Fannie May briefly, but it was seasonal. I had a job at Hallmark making cardboard shelving units, and that was a temp position. I had an interview at Afina and hopefully I'll get that job. "Storm" works there, but then again it's been a while since the arcade so that doesn't bother me either. Anyway, my mom is going to work in West Virginia or someplace close to that for the next 6 months apparently. Uhh, segues are unimportant. ^^_ In unimportant neopets news, I got a Koi and Cybunny. Whee. When I told the New Bremen player of Harry Protagonist about my Koi he said: I will stab you. No, wait, I'll write a haiku. "Springtime on the web my name is now for a fish.

I was meaning to pay a long overdue call.
I still need a decent job, so, I've not been on the internet a lot lately. Other than that, not much else has been noteworthy. However, if anyone has Animal Crossing for the Nintendo DS, let me know your friend code and I'll come throw tires out in your town.

Ladies and gentle of the class of '97, wear sun screen.
Before I begin being angry in text, I have one piece of advice for you people reading this journal. Keep the stuff you actually want to keep in plastic storage bins and containers. You don't need a hurricane or flood to have water destroy a lot of your possessions. All you need is to move into someplace that has a leaky basement, and leave it there in cardboard boxes. If you keep your stuff in moderately airtight plastic containers, you have a lot better chance of keeping your possessions in non-ruined condition. The water doesn't even need to touch these things as the humidity can do it if the room constantly has water in it, but any part of the box touching water does expedite the process. I speak from experience on this one. As you can see from the mood, I'm sick. That's no big thing on its own. However, sometimes life throws you a curve ball. Sometimes, life throws you a curve ball, follows it with a cannonball, then rushes up and kicks you in the balls. . . while you're occupied. You see, I got a job recently. However, since I've been sick I haven't been able to be the most awesome coffee slinger. You see when you're sick you don't only have to deal with the painful coughing, headache, fever cooking your brain, sick stomach from sinus drainage, dizziness, and other minor things. You also get kept up at night from all of the afore mentioned items. This causes you to be not only sick, but sleep deprived. Well, that makes it kind of hard to work. Since it was my first week, I didn't want to call in sick. Because I wasn't able to handle weekend rush after 1.5 days of training, I was fired. So, after being jobless since April, I get a 3-day job. Whee. On the bright side, I do hate coffee. Current Mood:  Sick, Smarmy, and SaltyCurrent Music: Mindless Self Indulgence - Tornado |
