Just wanted to let you all know, I may be scarce the next few days

Oh, and I'm getting married to in 15 hours from now

YAY!

This summer I spent the most of my time working at the university teaching, and in the lab. I was going to work on my Master's Thesis, but unfortunately I was not given any real time to do that due to my intense teaching schedule. So during the summer I pretty much taught, graded, lab work, graded, taught, more labwork, etc. I then helped a collaborator compile all the necessary research he needed to complete his thesis this September. Then for most of October I worked on getting the rest of my research together to complete my work. Now that it is done, I'm beginning work on writing my Master's Thesis, which I hope to complete writing by the end of November at the latest, so it is totally meaning getting my ass in gear to do. If anyone has any suggestions on how to motivate themselves to write when they don't want to, I would be entirely more than willing to accept them.

In other news, things have been getting even more intense on my end out here. For the few of you not in the know, I am getting married to on November 21, this year. So we have been doing the final little bits of wedding planning that need to be done. It's really crazy, that's for sure, getting all that stuff done, but we're almost there. I really am looking forward to the wedding at least, and it will be nice to be able to call her my wife.

Ok, summary get! Now time for me to go back into the aether until next time

So first off, Happy New Year to everyone out there! I wish your 2009 to be full of nothing but the best for all of you.

Secondly, my old Jeep Cherokee was officially totaled and scrapped by the insurance company. Luckily I was able to get more out of them than I though for it, so my new car isn't going to put me in that much debt... so instead of a hell of a lot of debt, just a lot of debt. I do have a really nice new jeep though, so I guess that's good.

In other news, and I will be going down to Texas at the end of the week for a four day weekend. That'll be exciting and fun.

Why pray tell are we doing this? It's because it's my birthday on Friday! (It's Lumie's birthday also! Super birthday fun!)

EDIT: Leaving for Texas tomorrow morning! Yay! Happy birthday to Angie and me! ^.^

On my drive back home to Green Bay to visit my parents, as I was changing lanes my car hit a nasty nasty patch of black ice, and I lost control of the wheel. My jeep went into the ditch, and proceeded to roll, and landed on the roof.

Somehow I miraculously am unharmed, apart from a few bruises from the seatbelt. I walked away from the crash, so that makes me thank God for looking out for me like that. My jeep has seen better days by far, the roof is caved in, the driver's side mirror snapped off, and the windshield is cracked.

It's going to be a hefty repair bill... but like I told the nice police officer that helped me out, I'd rather pay a car bill than a hospital bill any day...

EDIT: Sounds like the Jeep is being totaled by the Insurance Agency... Well I guess that'll teach me to not name my vehicle after a fictional character that ends up dying...

Anyone know any good immortal characters? XD

As of 1:00pm this afternoon, my golden retriever, Myah passed away. She was 13 years old, and was suffering from kidney failure, with no hope of recovery. She was put down this afternoon to ease her suffering, as she could not even eat anymore. I am happy she is no longer in pain, but at the same time miss her immensely. I remember getting her when I was 10 years old, out in Clintonville from the breeder. She was such a mild mannered well behaved little puppy. Over the years she became quite the energetic, and lovable dog. I have so many fond memories of her, it's really all the more painful to know she's gone. I have not lost a pet today, I lost a sister.

I'll always remember my kind-hearted little kangaroo dog...

Rest in Peace Myah...

I'm really too sad to be able to type more about it

Starting off, I have been SUPER busy the post month and a half. Grad School really decided to bend me over and have it's way with me. Unfortunately, it didn't have the decency to buy me dinner before doing such. Hence why I pretty much disappeared off of the face of the Earth for a good long time. This would be the main reason why I haven't been to MAS, or to really any other social gathering of people. Stupid time raping candy coated chocolaty crunchy munchy graduate school. I digress though... It's over for now, and it'll just be glorious 9-5 research this summer (mostly from now on as well).

Well let's see know... apart from time raping me hardcore, I went to Anime Central this past weekend. I had a pretty good time. Granted we didn't do much con stuff... Cosplayed, walked around, hit up a panel, photoshoots. The standard stuff, really. However there is something that wasn't entirely out of the ordinary.

I would like to let you all know that I proposed to my longtime girlfriend, , at the convention this past Friday. She said yes, which was very happy-inducing. Also, like most things these days, it's already up on YouTube: [link]

These people work fast I swear XD

Also, I would like to congratulate ,, and for graduating with the Bachelor's of Fine Arts this past Sunday. You guys are going to do great!

Today marks our four year anniversary... These have been four of the best years of my life, as the journal says.

^_^ Here's to many more years together

]]> *Frozen-Water http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/16394230/ http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/16394230/ Sun, 13 Jan 2008 20:00:28 PST tagged anyone crazy enough to do this quiz, and well... I follow that description pretty well I would think... so, thus I does so.

I must:
1. Choose up to 6 of your characters.
2. Make them answer the following questions.
3. Then tag three people.

Lets get started!

Character:
Elarae Roz Phyuroth
Merice Shalthrow
Serek (Shortened from Draconic for the sake of those reading)

-How old are you?
Elarae: 28... I feel old...
Merice: 28?! You don't look old enough to drink, girl... and you think you're old?! What does that make me?
Serek: The answer to that question dear, is 35 I do believe. That seems very small to me, *bows* for me, that answer would be 976 of your years, humans.
Merice: ...what have I told you about telling people my age?!

-Species and Gender?
Elarae: Human, well... mostly. My great grandpa was a silver dragon, he was rather nice. That does make me related to Kothic though... that kind of creeps me out a bit...
Oh, and I'm a girl ^.^
Merice: Uh... I'm a girl, and... *mumbles* half-drow... Don't kill me! *cowers*
Serek: *sighs* I'm sure you couldn't tell from first glance, but I am a noble male silver dragon, however I prefer the guise of a human, as it does tend to cause less of a disturbance.

-You got any bad habits?
Elarae: *Eating her way through a very large bowl of ice cream: Mmph? What was the question? *munch munch*
Merice: *stealing your wallet* What was that?
Serek: Perhaps being a bit too zealous, if I have to state something. However I do believe that justice cannot be dealt too fast... *mumbles* and I like having a hoard...

-Any other names or nicknames?
Elarae: I like to go by Elarae primarily, except my friends can call me El for short. *smiles*
Merice: Well... either, "Blasted Drow", "Heathen Underdark Dweller", "Darkie"... usually names involving some paladin wanting to kill me for no reason...
Serek: You may simply call me Serek. I would tell you my correct name, but it tends to be too much for a human to pronunciate correctly. Yours truly is a limited form of communication

-You a virgin?
Elarae: *blushing a light purple color* No... Not when I have my wonderful husband, Saar... Mmm... ^//^
Merice: Uh... uh.... Of c-course I am...
Serek: Merice... you're lying again...
Merice: Ok... no... *mumbles* lousy absinthe... that's a one night stand I wish I could forget...
Serek: Have you ever met a 976 year old virgin? Seriously... *puffs out a cloud of ice crystals*

-Who's your mate/spouse/Lover?
Elarae: *dreamy sigh* Saar... oh I love him so much... ^^ I am so happy I met him
Merice: This hunk of dragon over here, *points to Serek*
Serek: I do believe that will answer your question, dear humans.

-Have any kids?
Elarae: Of course! I just gave birth to my little snowflake, Phreoth Lilian, this past year. She is getting so big! She is such a daddy's girl though, which sort of worries me... I don't want her jumping off any buildings like her father. Saar and I would like to have other children though. When you're immortal... I just think having a family of 1 just won't do
Merice: Of course not. Not at least right now anyway... too much to do, and you can't go out dancing with a baby... and besides, looking after the Matron's baby was quite the ordeal... I don't want to have to do that again for awhile
Serek: I do believe I have sired a great deal of children over the years. However, they have all gone their separate ways over the years. I have unfortunately seen a great number of them pass away as well. Quite the tragedy of you short lived humans...

-Favourite food?
Elarae: *still munching away at her previous bowl of ice cream* Mm?
Merice: Anything beats the gruel I had to eat down in the Underdark...
Serek: I do have quite the fondness for cold rubies. They have a crisp texture, and a rather interesting flavor.

-Killed anyone?
Elarae: *looking down at the floor* Yes, unfortunately. I don't like to deal with problems that way. If something does threaten the ones I love though, I will not hesitate to freeze them.
Merice: When there are so many people out to kill you, it's hard to avoid.
Serek: I have smote quite a great amount of evildoers over the years, that is correct.

-Hate anyone?
Elarae: Dathiel... I will never forgive him for tormenting poor Shirow like that!! *looks down at the floor* That and anyone who calls me fat...
Merice: ... *thinks* Do you want the... ]]> *Frozen-Water http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/16322995/ http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/16322995/ Tue, 08 Jan 2008 22:13:52 PST

I'm looking forward to seeing what 2008 is going to bring for me, to be honest. It just feels like it's going to be a good year for some reason. Granted, I know I'll be busy... the fact that it is 8:30 and I am still in the lab attests to that.

Also, next week Wednesday (the 9th) and I will be turning 23! ^.^ Yay for birthdays! Now I just need to figure out what to do that night, because I certainly don't want to be sitting at home doing nothing...

I feel so amazingly lonely out here it's not even funny. Every day I get up reminds me just how much I left behind to come out here to Minnesota for grad school. I really could go on and on about how difficult grad school has been on me mentally and physically, but I just cannot find the words to express it correctly, nor do I feel that this is the place to do so. However, I do feel it justified to tell you all about how I've been. The answer to that is really really depressed... to the point where I am having a hard time concentrating, or getting through the day without feeling miserable at the end of the day, because when I go to bed, ~Caresse-par-la-lumie is not there to be with or wake up next to. I desperately miss my friends, and I depreately miss ~Caresse-par-la-lumie which really adds up to the feelings of loneliness that I've been having. I really have a hard time being so far away from everyone I care about so deeply. Really the only reason I haven't completely lost it so far is because of ~Caresse-par-la-lumie,~Phreoth, and =piratekitten for being there and just talking with me. It helps so much, even if it doesn't make everything 100% alright.

There's so much more I could say... there's so much more I could go on about how sad and depressed I am right now, but I think I've gone on long enough with my incessant emo-whining right now. It's just right now, life really is just... well... it sucks more than I can ever remember it sucking.

about 12 hours from now I will be an official college graduate. I'll be receiving my Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry tomorrow morning. After four years, it's been one hell of a ride, I'll tell you that. I'm excited to be getting my degree and being able to start the next step of my life in grad school next year.

but at the same time, it's a real bittersweet feeling. I've made a lot of great friends along the way, and it's gonna be sad not being able to see them all the time like I can do now. I'm going to miss all of them something fierce, but everything can't last forever, right?

All in all, I'm excited to be getting my degree, but I'll never forget what lead me up to this point.

As a few of you know out there, I'm an avid gamer. My clothing is comprised of tons of Nintendo and video game references, my room is an explosion of video game merchandise and the like, and my bookshelf is full of strategy guides. However, this entry is not about video games, mind you, it is about a field of gaming I picked up about four years ago, and a particular game that lasted a little less than a year, but meant a lot to me.

My freshmen year of college I was introduced to table-top RPGs for really the first time in the form of Dungeons and Dragons. My first experience with it was pretty simple, just your standard "adventurers going on a quest" fair that I played once every other week at a student gaming club here at my university. I instantly fell in love with the table-top scene, especially D&D as it were my "first love" so to speak... I've played d20 games, d6 games, White Wolf games, BESM, a great deal overall. I met my girlfriend during this first exposure to D&D, I met my practically best friend through this as well, as he ran that first game that really got me to sink my teeth into role-playing. So as a whole, many of my best experiences during my time at college have been either a direct or indirect result of role-playing games.

RPGs are fun for me for a variety of reasons, and I could easily spend a journal entry elaborating on the finer points of what is so appealing to me. However, I will tell you the one aspect of role-playing that has kept me coming back for more, and that would be the story. You ask most of the Final Fantasy fans out there (myself included) what they love the most about these games, and they will undoubtedly tell you that it is the compelling story, and the lovable characters. For tabletop games, this aspect is enhanced even more because the compelling story is YOUR story, and the lovable characters are YOUR characters. You are allowed to act out your character, much like an actor on a stage, and allows you to write out a story, much like the novelists of today. This outlet for creativity and ability to create stories that can be as epic as Lord of the Rings or other such creations of literature or cinema, is what draws me in so tightly.

As it stands right now, I’ve had two gaming experiences in particular that I can claim, at least to me, feels like a Final Fantasy or LotR-esque story, and not the World of Warcraft or Diablo-esque experiences that a many tend to experience when behind the dice. The first experience, I know a good amount of people on my watch list are familiar with, at least to a minor degree. This first game that I cherish as more of a story than a game, took place three years ago in the summer between my freshmen and sophomore year of college, back in my hometown. How I got into this game was pure serendipity, but until this year it stood as my favorite role-playing experience as a whole. The game was not too incredibly complex, but we molded the story as a group due to our strong character interactions, and accomplished a great amount because our characters were as diverse as those from a Final Fantasy game, or other fantasy epic. This character, whom all of you are familiar with (as she is my current icon), is Merice, a former half-dark elf slave girl, turned Rikku-esque thief. Even if the only experience you have with her is through this journal or the drawings done by ([link]) and ([link]) she was, and will be a favorite character of mine, as she was the first fully fleshed out character I ever made. She was as dynamic as many of today’s literary characters can get. She was determined, she was headstrong, but she was also naïve, and very paranoid as a whole, but for her it was who she was.

The other experience, which only lasted from September of 2006 to last night, will hold the title of favorite story for many years to come. This game was more than a game to me, and to all of us playing it. It was our creation, our s... ]]> *Frozen-Water http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/12635866/ http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/12635866/ Tue, 17 Apr 2007 18:12:13 PDT

I went rollerblading for the first time in too long. It was so glorious, and I got to break in my new blades... so wonderful... my legs are a little wobbly right now since I was out there for about 2-3 hours, but it was so worth it in the end.

So all in all, if the weather is nice near you, go out and enjoy it! DeviantArt will be here when you get back, I swear. ^_^

I can't explain why I'm feeling so down, I just am. I think I'm reading into things too much, like a friend of mine repeatedly not showing up to a D&D game I run, whilst religiously making it to other people's games, and feeling like it's a personal thing against me...
...not to mention all of this snow... it's REALLY starting to grate on me... *sigh*

All in all it's just a LOT of little things that have building up over the year or so and it's all finally crashing down on me. This'll teach me for letting everything get bottled up inside.
That's just an example of the stuff... *shrugs* all in all I'm just feeling oddly down today... that is all I guess...

I need a hug... =/

She's doing better though, which I couldn't have asked for anything better... I don't what I'd do if something happened to my little CSI fangirl

In other news, I finally got my hands on a copy of Guitar Hero 2, and I must say that I am very impressed with the game. I played it for three hours straight today, and my arms feel so limp it's beyond funny. I'll just have to keep working at it so I can become a virtual Rock God... Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha! *ahem* yes... so...

In serious news, my grades for last semester came in and ended up being well-worth the stress and insanity that the classes had wrought upon me. I am very relieved that it's over, and having a break is a nice refresher for me. Luckily, next semester is very very light in terms of classes, so I'm hoping I'll have plenty of time to do fun stuff, so that I don't burn out again. *crosses fingers* Here's hoping.

Lastly, my birthday is next Tuesday, January 9th. Hooray for me becoming 22... my age will be a palindrome, whoo! Not quite sure what I'll be doing for my birthday this year, but I do believe I will be spending it in my home town, rather than at college, so I need to figure out something to do for it. I'm sure I can figure something out, eh?

What I am about to do may alienate some of you from me… this is usually why I avoid political statements. But, after all that has happened in the past couple days, I feel like it is my turn to express my disappointment in current political events that have occurred in the state of Wisconsin. Be forewarned that what you see here you may agree with or disagree with, but first and foremost, they are my opinion.

I looked at the electron results today when I got up, curious to see if my play at the democratic process yesterday was effective or not. I looked through the various government positions, and in fact many of those that I voted for ended up winning the election more or less, which made me feel good, until I got to the two amendments that were up for debate in Wisconsin. I looked at them and was, to put it bluntly, mortified. Here are the two amendments in question:

Same-sex Marriage Ban Referendum -- 3,590 of 3,597 precincts reporting (100%)
Yes------------------1,256,208------------------59%
No-------------------858,259--------------------41%

Death Penalty Advisory Referendum -- 3,590 of 3,597 precincts reporting (100%)
Yes------------------1,159,543------------------ 56%
No-------------------928,355----------------------44%

I look at this at see that there is a 397,949 person difference in the people that voted to take rights away from their fellow Wisconsin dwellers, and a 231,188 person difference that voted to potentially take away the life of their fellow Wisconsin dweller. These numbers just baffle me to no avail. How can so many people out there feel as if they have the God-given right to take away so much from their fellow brothers and sisters. I do, however have to say that I am at least comforted slightly that the numbers were not a landslide. This shows that issues like this are not as one-sided as you may originally have thought. It shows that the state is not entirely like minded, and that everyone seems to have their own opinion, which is good.

Before I fully begin the voicing of my disappointments, I want to emphasize, I am NOT a bleeding heart democrat. I am NOT a staunch republican. I consider myself to be in the middle, because to be honest, there is no logistical way one side can be 100% right all the time. I consider myself someone who is concerned about the world he lives in, as well as someone who feels that everyone deserves to be treated fairly, no matter what their differences are. So therefore, I can honestly say, that I am NOT jumping on a bandwagon either way, and that I am looking at these issues from what I personally believe.

Starting off with the Marriage-Ban, I would like to state that the amendment was NOT primarily about same-sex marriages, it also effectively banned civil unions, common law marriages and similar legal rights to unmarried couples, whom might I add are one man and one woman (Ironic I think, that the advocates against homosexual couples have just harmed the type of people they are trying to protect). Therefore, it has no come into effect that only married couples may now share benefits among those involved, end of story. Also, these same unmarried couples share no legal protection. If a woman in a heterosexual union was battered by her significant other, the man would potentially only be held accountable for assault, instead of domestic abuse (a crime with a higher penalty tied to it). So a crime that used to be punished more severely before the amendment, will no be reduced in severity… even though nothing else has changed. I personally find that to be incredibly flawed in it of itself, and we now have removed any protection that these people in a civil union or common law marriage situation might have had. We have taken away these peoples rights, freedoms, and protection because the majority of people in this state jumped on the “homosexuals are bad!” bandwagon.

Moving on to the REAL issue as some might consider it, involving the marriage-ban. I want to start off that I have homosexual/bisexual friends. They are wonderful human beings who laugh, cry, feel joy/pain, have dreams and aspirations, and (heaven forbid) feel true, honest to goodness romantic love, just like their heterosexual counterparts. What Wisconsin has done as a state now is to essentially say that we don’t want them anymore… we have said that we consider you to be lesser humans than us heterosexuals. Don’t believe me? Well now we have denied them any right or privilege that they might have as a couple, both legally and socially. Why can’t homosexuals be given the right to be married or at the very least, have a civil union? That’s the question I ask, because I feel that they are just as human as the rest of us, they just are different… which may be the primary cause of the problem, since we innately fear what is diffe... ]]> *Frozen-Water http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/10608725/ http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/10608725/ Fri, 03 Nov 2006 21:34:46 PST

Apart from research around here, not too much has been going on. It's been a typcial go to lab, come back from lab situation, which is alright I guess. I did go canoing yesterday with a a large group of the other chem students out here. That was a fun 7 mile canoe trip. Although, I did have a bit of issues with the other guy in the canoe about steering, so with all the veering off course and zig-zaggin, it probably added another mile to that. All in all though, it was a great time had by all.

Also, this weekend my mother, sister, uncle, and aunt came to visit. They stayed at my cousin's place (who lives 30 miles or so south of Minneapolis) and the group of us had a lot of fun going for walks, seeing the sights, etc. It was nice to do a slight touristy thing, as well as have family come and visit. I really miss my family out here, so it was nice to see them. Also, this was the best I've eaten all summer. Yesterday we went to a place called Chino Latino's. Oh it was excellent, albeit quite pricey. As odd as it sounds, it's a Latin/Asian restaurant, where the dinners are served "family style" (you order a large dish, and it is split up between the group at the table) Had the best lo mein I've ever eaten there, some excellent Sangria wine, some Chipotle Salmon Sushi (it's awesome), and some really good Chipotle Lime Shrimp. As odd as a Latin/Asian fusion would sound, it was freaking great. Then today, we had a barbeque, and I got to take some leftovers home. Being a poor college student, free food is always a nice bonus :-D

Ok, so all fun things aside... I have a serious question for you all that read this. Ok, so as of late I haven't had much time to talk to my girlfriend, and well I've been having some seperation anxiety going on, since I haven't seen her in about a month, give or take. So, her and the rest of my housemates left in Point have been hanging out at a mutual friend's place a lot. So... to put it bluntly, I'm getting decently envious that she goes over there so much, and that he gets to interact with her more than I do. Now don't get me wrong, I want her to do whatever she wants, and I'm not jealous of anything happening between them, I'm not worried about that at all. I'm just envious that I barely get to talk to her lately, and she goes over there a bunch. I'm not going to do anything out of jealousy or anything... I just feel jealous is all... So now for the question I want to ask, am I justified in feeling a smidgen envious here, or am I being ridiculous and should be smacked over the head with a large fish, such as a Marlin? ]]> *Frozen-Water http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/8834892/ http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/8834892/ Sun, 21 May 2006 12:22:13 PDT
I won the American Chemistry Society (Central Wisconsin Chapter) Outstanding Collge Senior Award. I received a plaque, as well as a $300 prize for winning. Apparently my research advisor and the chair of the chemistry department nominated me for this, and I won. I was pretty surprised to get this, but I'mcerainly not going to object.

This Tuesday I will be going down to Chicago to go see Spamalot. for those of you that have not heard of it, it's a musical based off of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I've been wanting to see this so bad ever since it hit Broadway a year or so ago. Hooray for touring Broadway shows. ^^

Continuing the trend of cool things I'm going to see... This coming Friday I will be going back to Chicago with Angela to go see Play, at the Chicago City Pops Orchestra. Play is essentially a video game music concert. The orchestra is going to perform a bunch of orchestral arrangements of various video game musics. With me being the big nerd that I am, I couldn't dare pass it up.

Lastly, this summer I got accepted to do summer research out at the Unniversity of Minnesota, out in Minneapolis. I'm going to be doing a REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) out there for about 10 weeks, starting from June 5th to August 12th. THis is going to be a great event for me, because I will be getting paid a nice sum of money for it, I'll be builiding a great resume off of it, and lastly, I'll be getting a lot of experience in something I want to do. I should be getting internet out there, so I still will be able to keep in touch with all y'all, so no worries.

There you go. A brief look into the goings on lately... ]]> *Frozen-Water http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/8733207/ http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/8733207/ Sun, 14 May 2006 15:01:11 PDT

By the by, thanks to everyone out there who I'm friends with... you all rock hardcore! ]]> *Frozen-Water http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/8483652/ http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/8483652/ Sat, 15 Apr 2006 22:12:48 PDT *Frozen-Water http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/8249074/ http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/8249074/ Thu, 23 Mar 2006 18:22:57 PST
I just wanted to let y'all know that while I was on this vacation, i did take lots of photos, some of which will be put in the Scraps (typical vacationy stuff), but i did take some more artistic photos, which I will be uploading in the not-to-distant future. So, I am back, and better than ever! Mwa-ha-ha-ha! ]]> *Frozen-Water http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/8182905/ http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/8182905/ Thu, 16 Mar 2006 21:03:36 PST *Frozen-Water http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/7673999/ http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/7673999/ Sun, 22 Jan 2006 08:42:36 PST
Secondly, today is mine and 's two year anniversary together. I have to say that I can't believe we've been together for so long. She is so wonderful, I can hardly contain it! ^^ We're going out for dinner tonight (and probably a movie) to celebrate.

Finally, I just wanted to say to all my friends that are out there, that you guys are the best friends I could ever hope for. You all are amazing people, and I'm so thankful for your friendship, compassion, and support. Give yourselves a round of applause, you deserve it! ]]> *Frozen-Water http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/7604326/ http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/7604326/ Sat, 14 Jan 2006 18:26:25 PST
My father is going to be going into surgery this Thursday, and I am really really worried about him. He has to go to get a series of cysts, as well as a tumor removed from his kidney while he's there. He told me about this the day after Christmas, and now that it's getting closer to the day of the surgery, I am starting to get reall scared. They haven't determined if it's cancerous or not yet, but that hasn't stopped me from worrying myself sick about him. I don't want to lose my father... I just don't even want to think about what that would be like. So if you could, please just say a prayer for my father to pull through. I would really appreciate it...

thank you for your time... ]]> *Frozen-Water http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/7486396/ http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/7486396/ Mon, 02 Jan 2006 07:23:03 PST So I sat around going stir crazy for until about 6:30 last night when I called another buddy of mine that I had arranged plans with. I called him to see what's going on, well... he's gone... got ditched again!

Now I'm officially going stir-crazy, so what did I end up doing? Driving around for an hour, and killing time in a grocery store and then killing time in a department store. Now, it is officially 8:00, and it's time for a bunch of us to get together and play D&D. Now I have been looking forward to this game all bloody week, because it gave me one last opportunity to play as my Merice character. She's my favorite of any character I have made, and I really liked how the story was going, and she finally had things to look forward to... Ok, so I get there, and only the DM, myself, and one other guy are there. We then call the other two guys who were supposed to be there. One of them made other plans and wasn't coming (Even though he said the previous night he was going to fricking be there!), and the other guy couldn't come because his mom wouldn't let him go (Note: This guy is 21 and does not live at home anymore... he was only visiting). So now we had to scrap the one thing I was really looking forward to doing after the holidays. We ended up playing board games and Karoake Revolution, but it wasn't anything like what we all wanted to do. We're going to try and get the last session in sometime in the future... but that won't be for months to come...

So yeah, I got blown off by three of my friends in one bloody day. Not to mention it was the last day I was in town before having to return back to Stevens Point for class tomorrow. This really really really pisses me off that my friends are so incredibly flakey that they can't stick to plans they made one day prior! ARGH!

;_; I need a hug ]]> *Frozen-Water http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/7407412/ http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/7407412/ Sat, 24 Dec 2005 20:49:59 PST
In the theme of updating for the holidays, I just wanted to wish everyone out there a great and wonderful holiday season, and may all your Christmases (or other wintery holidays) rock it hardcore, yo...

Apart from holiday well-wishing, I just wanted to bring up the fact that I GOT A "B" IN P-CHEM!!!!!! This class was so freaking difficult, so getting the grade I did is like the best Christmas gift ever!! I can barely contain how freaking awesome this is! YAY!

Now with a temporary break from all that is physical chemistry, I may have time to putz around in photoshop and do a little writing here and there. So expect this sleeping beast of a page to be rustled from its near eternal slumber in a ravaging fury of activity... like the Tarrasque! Unlike the Tarrasque however, my page will not consume the countryside... it will prolly just munch on a few cows here and there.

All rambling aside... I'd like to take this time to bring awareness of a deviantART page I think that you all should visit... no I'm not going to rant about visiting Lumie's page... I've done that enough. No, I want to take this time to go tell everyone and their grandmother out there to go visit

*Arcandio

and enjoy themselves. Arcandio is a great friend of mine from school, and not informing the near-masses about his page would be a great disservice to him. He is a fantastic artist, DM, friend, and RPG genius. If you enjoy fantasy work (or even just Photoshop creations) you should go check it out. If this guy does not make it big someday, I would be surprised... the man is a infinite goldmine of ideas and talent. Go now! I command thee with Christmas fury to go visit his page!


... and ~Caresse-par-la-lumie's also... go... ]]> *Frozen-Water http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/7130905/ http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/7130905/ Thu, 24 Nov 2005 09:33:10 PST
I just wanted to take this time to say that I am very thankful for all of my friends, both on DA, and not. You all mean a lot to me, and I appreciate all that you say/do.

I wanted also to say thank you to the follow DA members, for being such great people, and great friends... *dwarfpriest,*Hyrenblade, ~Mattimeo319, ~gspoon, ~Grey-Karashi, ~DynamiteKnight, and ~jiggleBelles. I also want to thank =piratekitten, ~Caresse-par-la-lumie for being there for me when I need them. You all are the best! ]]> *Frozen-Water http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/7088936/ http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/7088936/ Sat, 19 Nov 2005 12:57:11 PST piratekitten and ~Caresse-par-la-lumie have tagged me, I feel it my civil duty as a human being to comply, and do the amazing 20 things about me dealy-majig!

1.) I am a terrible artist. When I say that, I mean it... the only things I am decent at are chemical structures, and stick figures. I literally couldn't draw my way out of a paper bag.
2.)I love showtunes, and tend to sing them quite frequently... I've occasionally been called "The Runaway Broadway Show"
3.) I want to get my PhD in Organic Chemistry and become either a professor or a research scientist
4.) Even though I know I am a very intellectual person and do really well at academic work, I still doubt myself on the surface.
5.) I have been to both the west coast and the east coast. (through high school marching band...marched in the Rose Parade in 2001)
6.) I am madly in love with my girlfriend ~Caresse-par-la-lumie, and hope to be with her for a long time (hopefully forever).
7.) I tend to be a very emotional person...
8.) I have never been out of the country. The closest thing I can claim, is that I have seen Canada once.. from Niagra Falls
9.) I am a virgin, and plan to be one until marriage.
10.) I have really never consumed much alcohol. The most that I can claim to have drank was a few drinks from a glass of wine I shared with my girlfriend. (we never finished it either)
11.) I am very short from average views...
12.) Tied to #11, I am very sensitive about my height.
13.) Going back to #7, I have cried during movies (and certain video games... *sniff* Aeris *sniff*), and I am not afraid to admit it.
14.) I tend to be a neat freak when I am overstressed.
15.) I want to visit Australia at one point in my life.
16.) As a whole I tend to be much more attracted to larger women more than I am attracted to thinner women.
17.) I like expansion art (if this bothers you, well shove it!)
18.) I am however, a recovering bulemic. I am mostly over it, but there are times when I am really stressed when I'll regress back to those ways...
19.) (back to happier things) I tend to see the good in everyone. It may make me seem naieve, but I like to look on the bright side whenever possible.
20.) I value my friends and family more than anything, and would gladly take a bullet for any of them (internet friends included)

Let's see.... I need to tag people now too... *thinks* Ok, I tage ~gspoon,~Mattimeo319, ~Leen-Rouge, and *Hyrenblade ]]> *Frozen-Water http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/6827544/ http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/6827544/ Fri, 21 Oct 2005 12:12:35 PDT
Uhm... expect some form of a much more well-thought out journal, later... because I am having issues thinking straight right now... I need a nap >.< ]]> *Frozen-Water http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/6614265/ http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/6614265/ Tue, 27 Sep 2005 06:31:10 PDT

Hey everyone... I am back at college now... however, my internet will not be hooked up at my house until saturday... soo... yeah... not like I'd be missed anyway... *shrug* ]]> *Frozen-Water http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/6295574/ http://Frozen-Water.deviantart.com/journal/6295574/ Mon, 22 Aug 2005 09:06:46 PDT
------

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn’t have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

Repost this if you believe homophobia is wrong.

------

One of my best friends in bisexual, and I view her no differently then anyone else I know. Just because a person is homosexual does not mean you should shun them from your life. They are people too, with feelings, morals, ethics, dreams, and a future, just like everyone else... They were just handed the short end of the stick, and it is time that we as a society accept them. For the record... I AM Catholic, and I still feel this way... As my father so elequently put it. They are children of God, just like the rest of us.... no different at all...

Indeed. Next time anybody shows hatred and homophobia, stand up for your fellow brothers and sisters, because hate should NOT be tolerated. ]]> *Frozen-Water
