Um, yeah, I've in no way harrassed you. If you notice I was on YOUR side in the whole Caleb thing. If anything, YOU and your friends have been harrassing ME for the past year, and when questioned I'm going to explain that to the dA people. There's no possible way you can get away with having me banned for not doing anything.

So yeah. Plz stop sending all your friends to attack me. Kthxbai

But God, my drawings suck. I wanna improve, but I don't wanna change my drawing style. I want it to still be all cartoony and not anatomically-correct. But how can I do one without the other?

I dunno, but until I can scan the comics and draw better, there's not much I can do.

I guess I could try just WRITING and post that, but... a lot of my humour is based around comedic timing. I don't know how I'd do that without visuals. Hrrm. :s

Besides, I've been trying to get The Coffee Crew going for, what, five years now, and stupid stuff keeps happening to prevent me from making even one episode. All I've been able to make are the afforementioned comics, and I can't even make the series into a webcomic because I don't have a scanner and will never be able to afford one.

Plus, half of my characters hate me now, and they're all central to the plot. There's no way I can do a series without them. The only characters left would pretty much be me, Goliath, Baby, and the ones that I made up that aren't based on real people. And those characters all suck.

So I'm done. Thank you. Thank you, Anna, for crushing more than one of my dreams.

I'll still be on dA to check my watchlist, but that's it.

Not really sure how I can explain them. It's still my Coffee Crew series, and we basically do random things. I don't know.

They range in date from late 2007 to present day, so they're of varying quality (in terms of both writing and artwork). The newer comics' artwork is a huge improvement over the stuff currently in my gallery. Still sucks, though. But whatever, you'll see when the time comes.

As for personal matters, uhh, my life is pretty terrible. Chances are you can find my emo rants on Twitter ([link]) or LiveJournal ([link]).

3. Then tag three people.
4. Feel free to go ahead and add some question yourself!!

Psy tagged me (sorta), so let's interview Nick, Goliath and Scott!


1. What's your favorite food?
Goliath: Aw, man. That's easy. Doggy Doodles.
Nick: You can't choose stuff YOU invented!
Goliath: Wha? I don't remember that being a rule!
Nick: Whatever. Anyway, I eat anything Mexican or Italian.
Scott: I-I like thems Girl Scout cookies.
Nick: ...who invited you, Scott?


2) Interests?
Scott: Well, uh, I like being a Girl Scout and selling Girl Scout cookies and earning Girl Scout badges...
Nick: Seriously, whose idea was it to invite Scott?!
Goliath: Me, I'm into cooking... disco... wrestling... buying Scott's Girl Scout cookies...
Nick: Interesting combination. As for me, my interests shift with the tides of time. There's no holding me to a set interest, son. Though, I have been known to like video games, music, cartooning, butts-
Announcer: Yeah, sorry, time's up.


3) What Mario character would you want to be the most?
Nick: I don't know much aboot Mario, so I couldn't tell ya.
Scott: I think I would probably wanna be Princess Peach, 'cause, um, she has a pretty dress.
Nick: You're so weird.
Goliath: Mario himself, hands down. I mean, you're just a plumber, and they make a video game aboot you. So you get to just sit there, fixing people's toilets while you rake in the royalties! It's a brilliant plan!


4) Deal or no deal?
Goliath: Deal! D-did I win?
Nick: No deal! Oh crap, I have the one cent case!
Scott: Can I use a lifeline?


5) What is your favorite color?
Nick: Depends on what we're talkin', here. For panties, though, I prefer pink or purple if they're just a solid color, but I also like them to have designs, like... hearts or flowers or stripes or whatever.
Goliath: That's kinda irrelevant.
Nick: ...oh.
Scott: I like red, yellow, blue, green, pink, brown, orange, purple, black and white. In no specific order, mind you.
Goliath: Brown. My fur consists of mostly brown.
Nick: No, I'd say you're mostly white.
Goliath: Yo, how you gonna try an' play a brotha'?! Do I look like a white dog to you?!
Nick: Chill, bro.


6) Why are u guys so ugly looking?
Nick: I was born this way. I'm thinking of plastic surgery, though. Think I'd look good with boobs?
Announcer: No.
Goliath: I'm designed just as God wanted me to be! Wheeeeeee!
Scott: My dad says it's 'cause I used to be a zygote.


7) Do u like other people's characters like a crush?
Goliath: I'm only into other dogs. The whole interspecies thing doesn't cut it for me. And sadly, there aren't many cartoon dogs out there.
Scott: Huh?
Nick: I still think Jessica from Bonus Stage is hot.


8) have u ever.... had..... A HUGE FART TO LET OUT?
Goliath: Nah.
Scott: Huh?
Nick: Unfortunately, both my biological parents have... err... relevant... problems... so I blame heredity!


9) u tired of this quiz?
Goliath: Nah.
Scott: Huh?
Nick: Those guys are repeating themselves, so I'd say they are. Me, I'm up to the challenge!
Announcer: Too bad there's only one question left.
Nick: Crap!


10) who should I tag?
Goliath: Nah. Wait... that wasn't a yes or no question, was it?
Scott: Huh?
Nick: You can't tag anyone if you don't have any friends, son.

So today I finally decided to wrote a sequel to that Bonus Stage Kids thing I wrote a long time ago. If this'n's any good, I may write some more occasionally.

Drawing
We all know my MS Paint stuff is horrible. I'm done with that, so don't worry. I draw many comics and random scribblings using pens and paper, so I should really scan some of that. But alas, I don't have a scanner.

Animation
I began work on a little Flash cartoon a few weeks ago, with actual voice acting for once. Who knows if it'll ever be finished. Don't forget about my crappy Flash site, which is currently located at [link]

Links
Here's a couple of places where you can always expect to find me.

This Might Be a Wiki - [link]
The NEW Bonus Stage Wiki - [link]
LiveJournal - [link]

I had an amusing conversation with Tara last night, which is probably what reminded me to finish that cartoon. The conversation is much too perverted to be posted anywhere (though I have posted brief snippets of it on HMB: The Board). But of course pretty much all of my conversations end up being perverted. Mmm, and in case anyone's still lookin' at my dA, and in case those same people are not reading my LiveJournal, I went to Vacation Bible School the other day. It was very fun. It also kinda made me feel bad that I'm so vulgar all the time, but my philosophy is that it's not what's in your mind that counts, but what's in your heart. In my case, that would be clotting.

This Flash toon, however, is not SKF's first episode. I'm going to have to figure out more Flash stuff before I start on SKF.

I have returned to dA! Expect more Flash stuff from me. I was thinking of drawing some more Project Starlight designs, but I don't know. However, I'm still using my LiveJournal as my blog-type thing, so I won't update this dA journal nearly as much anymore.

Oh, and if anyone with skills in Flash wants to help me animate (doubtful), I'd give you credit in the, uhh, credits and all. Payment would be a problem, though, as I have no bank account.

So yeah. I'm alive and not really very well at all. Soooooo... uhhh... yeah. See ya later. If anyone's interested (you aren't), I still have YIM and MSN, Hagurumon41 and Hagurumon@hotmail.com, respectively. But I'm only on at a certain time (aboot 8 PM or so to 10 PM, Eastern time), and I'm uncool, so nobody will talk to me.

And apparently me an' "da guys" aka "that one guy and also a chick" are trying to write our own song. It's not going very well so far.

Also, HMB: The Board is back! Sort of.

And as you may have suspected from my latest "artwork", I watch H*R again. In fact, I mirrored almost the entire site now. Surprisingly, it didn't take that long. I was surprised.

Meanwhile, I swear, I'm going to get started on that new ID! Seriously! I'll finally get around to it!

Also, I'm searching for some kinda FREE Internet Service Provider. Like, a dial-up one, that I can just download somewhere without having to do any kind of filling forms out and stuff. Y'know, just in case Mom finally shuts her AOL account down. So far my search hasn't worked very well. Ah well, I'll keep trying.

Things to notice on the picture: Nick is paler than everyone else, I'm horrible at drawing animals, Thom's sword is supposed to be a katana (plus it's a homage to Sephiroth's Masamune), aaaaand as for that smiley face on Smithy's shirt...uhh...I dunno what I was thinking there. I guess I just didn't want him to have a regular t-shirt like Thom, so I just threw something on. I dunno. But yeah, you may notice Nick is also a whole lot hotter now. BLUE HAIR.

Series 2 is on its way. I've already drawn the first character, and am working on the second. Unfortunately, they aren't looking very good. Maybe I'm rushing it too much. And also, my hands are shaky, so that's why my lines are always kinda wavy like that. Seriously. Unable to steady my hands.

Ooh, my birthday's September 1st. Get me something. ^_^ Just kiddin'. Well, not really. Anyway, I'ma go read someone's "blugg" now. Mwahaha.

Macen came up today! We did cool stuff.

The other day, I got my training for my library volunteering. It might actually be pretty fun.

Hey, Mr. KN the computer-genius-man, my laptop's going screwy. I think I broked it. It like, has 25.2 GB left, but like...when I try to save stuff/install programs, it says I don't have no more disk space. It won't even let me run ScanDisk/defrag.

...been playin' video games again. That's pretty much it.

Oh, and my Mom said that I'll never have kids because nobody wants me. Unfortunately, she's right. ;_;

You may have noticed I've been lacking on commenting on stuff a lot lately. Well, before you start like, punching me repeatedly, lemme explain. Uhh...I have to sneak online. And I only get like, four hours a day for this. So my online life is severely dying. But you knew that already, so...whatev.

HUG ME.

Okay, I'm done now. For now. Bow-wow.

Irregardless (hehe bad grammar), I might be okay. Uhh...hang on. I need to change the topic now. Uhhh...oh. Looks like HMB: Teh Board got shut down. Crap. Hmm, guess we're gonna need to start up a new gathering place. Oh, and my community service is gonna be at a library. I don't know what I'm gonna be doing exactly, but I have two hours of training tomorrow. Well, today actually, 'cause it's after midnight. Uhh...what else...?

Then Thursday was the dang markethouse again. I brought more paper and make like, three more comics, all being 14 pages long and having aboot 8 panels per page. And this time, they were all pervy, so there were plenty of them little black censored signs. For some reason, Mom was mostly a normal person the whole time, until near the end when she pretty much went back to her normal friggin' self. Luckily, my aunt soon came to da rescue and we went out job-hunting.

So apparently a few places we stopped at said some new law required me to be 16, but Burger King and some place called Brusters gave me application forms. I dunno, I guess it's some ice cream place. Like Dairy Queen or something. Anyway, that makes two places we've found that hires 14/15-year-olds. But then she told me that I'd have to go to an interview. Wow. Big problem there. First off, I have problems with eye contact because it feels weird having to stare at people. Also, there's this friggin' speech impediment where I mess up on words a lot, plus sometimes I pronounce the "al"/"le" sounds as "er", and also place unneccessary "r"s in places...it's...it's pretty sucky. Umm... and then also there's like, the fact that I can't really talk to people who aren't my online friends. Oh, and my indeciciveness. Seriously, I can almost never answer a yes-or-no question. It's best to just stick with multiple choice for me, k?

So then on the way home, my aunt somehow starts nagging me to go out and meet girls. Which...that isn't happening. So then, Friday, we had like, a campfire and we were makin' marshmallows, hot dogs, chicken and potatoes on it. And Chique kept stealing Mom's chair. Tee hee. Oh, and I finally beat FF7. For some reason, the final bosses really...were no match for the awesome powers of Cloud, Vincent and Yuffie. Like, at all. Seriously. I rule. Umm...I think that's it. Uhhh...bye?

<3 Nick Bate ]]> ~Hagurumon http://Hagurumon.deviantart.com/journal/9443461/ http://Hagurumon.deviantart.com/journal/9443461/ Fri, 21 Jul 2006 00:24:52 PDT
In less depressing news, I finally beat disk 1 of Final Fantasy 7 after all these years! Well, actually, only aboot two years or so. I think I got it for one of my birthdays...I forget which one. Probably back before PS2. Dude, FF7 made me cry. NOT COOL.

Aaaand...uhh...I wanna try RPG Maker. The first one. I dunno why, I guess just because it takes less time to make, and it has bad graphics. The only thing is, it uses 23x31 px sprites, and it's near impossible to make sprites of that size.

Also, my memory card keeps corrupting my data. I need a new one. And also platform shoes. And a goatee. And dark blue hair dye, a few skirts, a wireless connection with Embarq (I don't like the name. They should've stuck with Sprint.), some more dice, and love, and probably some more video games or something, and Flash, and... uhhh... I guess that's it. But I'll probably think of more.

Oh, and September 1st. Birthday. Remember this. Because if you don't, I'll stab you in the thigh. Well...not really...I mean, I don't know where any of you live, so...well, actually... yes I do, but I have no transportation. And also I would never stab anyone. Well...yes I would. But only Mom and Steve. But I can't even do that because like, I'm already on probation. Not that I would anyway. Or would I? AAAAAARGH. SHUT UP, NICK. ...okay.

Ooh, and all the cats are fixed now, except two we couldn't catch. And we're down to three kittens. The rest are finding new homes. And luckily, this place doesn't eauthanize animals. Hooray! Whenever I get my digital camera installed correctly, I'll show pictures of the cute kitties. Their names are Phil, Joel and Captain. Apparently Mom tried to rename them, but I still use those names.

So aboot the camera...it's being stupid. The installation CD has a "install camera drivers" link, so I click it, but it doesn't install them right. I go to Add Hardware in the Control Panel and go in to the camera thing, and it tells me the drivers aren't installed correctly. So then I tell it to fix the problem. So then it asks me for the directory that the drivers are in, and I tell it they're in drive D, but it can't find the friggin' drivers. So I'll probably be toying with it for a while before I can get it to work. (Also, Windows 98. I know, I need to upgrade.)

PANTS!

And I'm still depressed. Wheeeeee. Gah, I need DSL really bad now. My aunt found out I've been sneaking online when I accidentally forgot to hang the phone back on the wall. Also, Dad cancelled his AOL account (he has DSL now), leaving me to risk it and use my Mom's account.

I go to my probation officer Friday. I'd better drink a lot before I leave. o_o;

So yeah. Also, I'm feeling kinda depressed aboot a few things. I don't really care to elaborate, but...eh, my heart's kinda broken, plus I'm distraught over those jerks that ran over the kittens, and also the whole me being on probation thing. I did type up some random scripty thingies to keep my mind off of things, but they're too MA-rated to show. But I put them on HMB: Teh Board anyway, because that place already has an AO-ish rating.

"So...didja miss me?

You can blame my absense on my mom. Remember how I'm on probation because of that fight? Well, one Friday, I went to the courthouse to talk to some chick aboot my probation, and now I got community service, counseling, drug testing, a curfew, and other stuff. BECAUSE OF MOM.

Oh, and I can't go to Dad's anymore. Which is why I've been gone all this time.

However, my extreme obsession with teh Intarnets wouldn't let me lose this war. I hatched a scheme. An evil one. Today, when me, my aunt and Mom were coming back from my psychologist, we stopped at Mom's place to feed the animals. While Mom and Joyce were feeding the horses, I rushed up to my room and got that white cord thingy that you plug into the phoneline, and stuffed it in my underwear to avoid detection. Then, I carried it around in there while we went to a few more stops. Finally, we arrived back at Nanny's, my current home. I zoomed up to my room and cackled, holding the white cord thingy above my head, saying mad scientist-y things. And now, every night, after Nanny goes to bed, I'ma be online." ]]> ~Hagurumon http://Hagurumon.deviantart.com/journal/9032533/ http://Hagurumon.deviantart.com/journal/9032533/ Sat, 10 Jun 2006 23:10:57 PDT
Uhhh... the whole situation over at HMB: Teh Board (I should really consider making that its new official name...) is solved, but the peoples who tried to defend me were flamed by the other side. So now I feel bad.

I actually did some work on the SKFWiki, braving the slow loading times. I reeeeeaaally wanna put more scripts up. :@ Well, if I could get my dang CD burner to work... or get DSL for mah lappy. I have a list of the stuff I need to get DSL now, but that's...wow. Probably gonna cost a pretty penny. Or a pretty thousand dollar bill, to be more exact.

I was taunting a few people with subliminal messages today. Most of them involved my creepy obsession. But it's a COOL obsession! Also, I made aboot three or four posts on the HRWiki Forum. Man that place has changed.

See, this is further proof that nobody likes Nick Bate. However, if you are one of the very, very, very few people that still like me, then... ummm... group hug?

Heh, apparently almost all of the Bonus Stage Lechers Support Group thingy from HMB: The Board plays Runescape. ALMOST all. Like, all but one. You know who you are.

Nobody likes Nick! Especially Carol and Steve, who SUCK!

I just got back from a cookout. There was a pool, but I pretty much just sat there picturing people eating popsicles until everyone else left. Then I actually walked around in the pool and pretended you cool Internet peoples were there. I'm pretty pathetic.

WF got me listening to Pink Floyd. That's pretty cool, man. Plus, I was chillin' with him and his friends last night. So yeah. That was cool.

Ending abruptly,

So now I'm all freaked out and traumatized. So far all the cats have proven to be smart enough to stay away from cars, but geez. You still never know what could happen. I wish Mom and Steve would let me keep the cats in the house so I wouldn't have to worry aboot stuff like this.

Aaaaaaand... a fake html tag just to sum things up:

And yes, I told the cop that Mom started it by beating me up, but he said that parents are allowed to do that. DUDE. A COP SAID THAT. What the... why would...? Dude. This is effed up.

Oh, man. I feel all... hyper and crazy right now. I think WF is contagious. o_o; Also, I have to go to bed in like, four minutes, so yeah. HYPER JOURNAL WRAPUP TIME

I saw the unfinished animatic for Bonus Stage episode 89. The new drawing style is both awesome and creepy at the same time. I wish it would at least have the voice acting, though... Craig would've been hilarious in this.

I chowed down on a bunch of cookies today, plus some pizza-flavored ravioli. All goes to show, Nick is not good at being a vegetarian.

I've also decided to make SKF a webcomic, just until I get Flash. Work on Garage Sale will start tomorrow night, when I get home to my drawing tablet. It'll be drawn in the same style as that better-than-normal-quality picture I uploaded the other day. Smooth lines and stuff. Yeah.

Aaaaaaand... anyone who wants to help co-write can like, help co-write. Oh, and I'm also planning a secondary project... a remake of my crappy Nick Team stories from when I was a little kid. I need to rename some characters, and give them new appearances and stuff. I'm writing the first script, and right now I only need to worry aboot a name for the main character, and a name for some girl.

Aaaaand... it's been six minutes since that four minute warning. See ya.

Macen showed up. Finally. He says that That One Chick already has a boyfriend or two, but I don't know. Macen's never really been a good source of info.

Well... my next project is probably going to be some kind of... SmithyxNikki fanart. Amazing how I keep shipping my own characters. I mean, geez... I even ship MacenxMaria and MacenxJewel. And ThomxJewel. And ThomxImari, ThomxNaru, ThomxYuki... the list goes on, yo. And the funny thing is, those're actually canon pairings. Sorta.

WARNING: Possibly R-rated language?!?! So yeah. Me, Psychosis, Helios and TP were arguing for like, two pages worth of posts.

Hmmm... I haven't talked aboot Walkingfox for a while, have I? Well... umm... lesse here... He's my Dad's girlfriend's son... and, ummm... he plays bass in a band... and I've heard 'em. They're good, man. Oh, aaaaand... ummm... he has an XBox. And he owns the computer I'm on right now... Uhhh... I 'unno. He's like, in there sleeping.

As for me, well... I was arguing with Helios 'cause apparently he wanted KNxMandy fanfiction or something. Argh.

Heh. Everyone went out for a motorcycle ride. I have the house to myself! ^_^ Oh, and that butthole Macen still hasn't shown up. Well, guess I'm not gonna be able to ask that one chick out. Oh, and I'm making ANOTHER FRIGGIN' RPG. With RPG Maker 3. This one stars... ummm... some of us cool online peoples. Again. I wish I had the patience to actually finish one of the games I start.

Mom and Steve are blackmailing me again. "Cut your hair, or no XBox or dice." Well, [censored]. I guess-

...

...Why was that censored? Anyway... I guess I'm not getting an XBox. Or those dice. Or KotOR. Man, I really, really hate these people. I'm thinking aboot maybe calling the cops. I mean, I have several witnesses to all the... physical and verbal abuse. Everyone up at Dad's saw that my wrist was bruised from that one fight that one time. 'Cause she grabbed my wrist and my throat and tried to drag me up the street.

Anyway, enough emo stuff. Uhh... I had a weird dream that I was a minor character in some kind of TV sitcom... and me and this one dude were competing for this one chick... and like, he was enrolling in some college in some country... and I stalked him... And eventually I gave up on that one chick 'cause I had my sights set on someone else. The whole dang thing reminded me of Lizzie McGuire for some strange reason... Clan must've infected my brain. Mandy, please cleanse it before I am forced to shove a steak [sic] through my head.

So what's on deck for this week? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I'm so bored... Oh, but I'm working on a sequel to my PBS fanfic. It's... not exactly coming out the way I wanted it to, though.

EDIT: Oh, right. Man, am I stupid. I forgot, umm... apparently Mom found four more kittens. But these one's aren't Chique's. We have two female cats, and I guess both of them had kittens at aboot the same time. So that makes 9 kittens now. And add that to the 11 cats we already have, and that's... 20 cats.

So, umm. Macen didn't show up yesterday. That's not cool, man. I need him to ask that one hot chick oot. Ah, well. I go up to Dad's today anyway. I love you better than myself. No, wait... that doesn't really work. :/

DUDE. I need to buy stuff. Online. Also, I should probably get some kind of PC game for my laptop. There's a PC version of KOTOR, but I think you still need an XBox for that. Dag.

<3 Nick Bate (Macen, where are you?!) ]]> ~Hagurumon http://Hagurumon.deviantart.com/journal/8600975/ http://Hagurumon.deviantart.com/journal/8600975/ Thu, 27 Apr 2006 11:12:47 PDT
Also, lately I've been thinking aboot this one hot chick I knew three years ago, but haven't seen since. I think it's fairly obvious that we liked eachother. Or not. I'm not sure. Eh, whatever. It's probably just my lonliness getting worse each day.

I WANT AN XBOX.

Macen's actually been showing up again for the past few days. Yesterday, he went home early, though. Apparently he was sick. Anyway, he wanted me to write a poem, but I suck at poem writing (and writing in general), so he made me make a pen-and-paper RPG instead. And that was BEFORE I read the GameFAQ thing, so... yeah. Then my sister said that one swear word... with the f... and the five letters... and Mom blamed it on me. Then she and Macen hit me with stuff.

My mom really needs to like, go away forever. This morning she was being all stupid and yelling at me aboot how I'm not going to pass ninth grade. Well, DUH, Mom. I shouldn't have even passed KINGERGARTEN. But whatever, that's the board of education's mistake, not mine.

<3 Nick Bate ]]> ~Hagurumon http://Hagurumon.deviantart.com/journal/8542879/ http://Hagurumon.deviantart.com/journal/8542879/ Fri, 21 Apr 2006 16:13:11 PDT
So, umm... the past week... stayed at Nanny's, away from the evil douchebaggian parents of mine. I brought my latop down, as well as Heroscape (although I never got around to playing it), some paper, schoolwork, and other crap. I also faced one of my fears and went to K-Mart. Yes, I'm afraid of shopping. SHUT UP. Anyway, I was originally searching for the usual stuff, and I actually did manage to find one of the things on mah list. One word: Nirvana. Yay-uh, baby!

I STILL friggin' want Dungeons & Dragons. But like... nobody has it. I did see it at a bookstore a few months ago, but I didn't have my money. We never got back up there again, because... well... we don't read. I got a milkshake today! ^_^ I want another one. They're just... so delicious.

So here's what you guys can do.
1. Gimme a hug.
2. Teach me how the @#$% to play Dungeons & Dragons.
3. Instant message me. I wanna talk to people! >_<
4. Looooooooove meeeeeeeeee!

Soooo... uhh... I guess this week I'll be doing some... Bonus Stage watching... and possibly some... umm... PS2 playing... and of course pillow hugging. And also thinking up evil and chaotic ways in which Mom and Steve can die. The problem is, if I killed them I'd get arrested, despite all the crap they've gotten away with. >_> I should go to, like... New Jersey. Or maybe Germany. Or France. Those countries are pretty cool.

I need a hug. And a girlfriend. And a milkshake. They bring all the boys to the yard, after all!

Well, me an' the crew were discussing ideas for Psychosis' project. You know... PBS. It's cool and stuff. My ideas mainly involved nekkid Bonus Stage characters. Whee!

So, until Friday, see ya. Go ahead and kill Mom and Steve if you want.

<3 Nick Bate ]]> ~Hagurumon http://Hagurumon.deviantart.com/journal/8466859/ http://Hagurumon.deviantart.com/journal/8466859/ Fri, 14 Apr 2006 07:54:09 PDT
Also, the jerks are making me learn how to ride a bike. Mom has also been continuing to insult me by saying things such as (and this is a good one): me being switched at birth, and my real parents are lazy white trash ex-cons who get arrested every week. Plus, she's been spreading rumors aboot me that're like, completely ruining my rep. Not like I HAVE a rep, but still.

Please kill them. PLEASE. If you need my address, just ask. AND GO KILL THEM. DO IT. NOW. ]]> ~Hagurumon http://Hagurumon.deviantart.com/journal/8436690/ http://Hagurumon.deviantart.com/journal/8436690/ Tue, 11 Apr 2006 09:47:25 PDT
Ah, and guess what? Steve's threatening to take everything out of my room unless I change my handwriting. Umm... okay... let me get this straight... I have had the same handwriting for 14 years now... and he wants me to get a new handwriting style? Aaaaand... he gave me a month time limit. Now, uh... just what the @#$% is he smoking? Other than cigarettes?

Also, I started yet ANOTHER RPG. This one has 14 playable characters (although at the beginning, you have to choose one of four to be the main character, so it's really just 11), all with different classes and weapons. It won't even have a storyline, just optional sidequests and mini-games. NOW SMELL ME!

I'm still depressed. Bonus Stage is over (tragedy #1), Cloak is Cassidy (tragedy #2), and now something happened to Myrrh (tragedy #3). I don't know what the heck happened, but I guess we'll all find out after a while.

Dude. This weekend has been full of hilariously awkward conversations. Also, Bonus Stage needs an episode 88 to come out. Liiiiike... within two hours. And if it doesn't make the two hour time limit, I say we go protest outside Matt Wilson's house. WHO'S WITH MAH?!

"And then... some guy came up to me
And then I took a pee
Then, like, he buick'd some chick
And then I picked up a toothpick."

Yeah... that didn't work. We need a better songwriter than me. Which I guess is everyone on Earth.

You know what else we need? A Jessica [Hentai] Fanclub! Where everyone draws Jessica hentai!

Um... I don't have much to say today.

Mwahaha. I'm so evil.

Well, I ran some eBay searches, and found what I was looking for. Thing is, I have to show 'em to Mom the Forbidden Evil One (1000 ATK 1000 DEF) and see if she'll actually let me buy 'em. I have like, 29 dollars still.

And remember that so-cool-it'll-kick-your-face-in Bonus Stage CD I was working on... the one which was intended to bring episodes over from the Windows XP to my non-Internet lappy so I could watch 'em whenever... the one that I spent countless hours, days and nights working on down here on the one computer that actually has Internet access? STEVE UNINSTALLED THE CD BURNER.

...he must pay.

Macen hasn't showed up yet... but then again, it's only 11:18 AM. He usually shows up from like... 1-4 PM. I can't wait to see what hilarious non-canon SKF-related antics take place today! And you know what? You people need to get over here and play with us. I can't do all the voices myself, dangit!

Well, I'ma have to get my lappy hooked up to the 'Net as soon as possible. Of course, I still need a way to get mo' money, mo' money, mo' money. O_O ...what... was... that? Well, I'm gonna grab a Mountain Dew. I'm all tired, so... I need some caffeine. And a girlfriend.

Macen leads da boys on a quest to spy on an all-girls party. Nick finds himself stealing hot chicks' clothing and kicking little children, while Smithy finds himself goin' on dates all the time. The girls play a rousing game of Truth or Dare, and unfortunately, nobody really wants to do any of the dares. Well, except Jewel. She'd do any dare ever. Yeah. Totally. Later, Goliath send Nick on a mission to find some mushrooms in a treasure chest, while Macen mixes some sectretly spiked fruit punch in an attempt to make everyone drunk.

All that and more happened when Macen visited today. Man, it was crazy. I kept getting tackled by hot chicks. It was great. ^_^ Also, he was here last night, too, and he kidnapped all the girls. Then somehow I became a Sith and beat the crap out of hundreds of Jedi.

Also, I'm adding onto my list of stuff to get eventually. The Dungeons and Dragons starter kit thingy, yo. I have this character generator on my laptop, but I don't know what the feats and skills and crap do, so I'ma need to get the rulebook sometime. But I always make myself a Chaotic Good Human Bard with high charisma. Ville.

Also, I downloaded an updated Windows Media Player, only to find that I need to upgrade my lappy to Windows XP first. I'm not sure if I have enough memory, though. I think I have aboot 21 GB of free space on my hard drive. So... I don't know.

Also, KOTOR is exactly like D&D. And I leave you with that.

Akagi is your new world ruler! says:
I don't see what everyone's anuslickaphobia's all aboot.
Myrrh: Ask about The Myrrh Game! No, really. Ask me. says:
I don't understand what your anuslickophilia is all about!

Excellent comeback. But not excellent enough... Anyway, I really feel like, uh... doing... something... something cool. So... I'm gonna do that... later tonight... I just wish I had a visual. *HINT HINT* (...please?)

Me an' Myrrh also had a discussion concerning June's tan. And just before that, I made a movie reference. Wow, dude. WF's been gone, like all day. Ah, well. It's pretty quiet around here, and I have my choice of Internet or XBox. I was on the XBox a little, as I said before, but then I switched back to teh Internetz. I need some love.

Oh, and good news. Meebo finally works right, so I guess I'll be on Yahoo now. Yeah, I logged on, just for the heck of it, and I was able to add people to my buddy list, and IM and stuff. So, that's cool. I'm thinking of maybe just using Meebo for all three of my instant messengers, so I don't have to sign into MSN Messenger and AIM all the time.

Also, Dad has not picked me up yet. I guess it'll be tomorrow morning, like it's been the past couple weeks. And dude. I can't think of anything to do offline. I did write some SKF scripts, but I need a break. : / So I took some time to try and memorize song lyrics. And it worked... kind of.

I would like a hug, please. Hug me. Do it. Do it now. OH! OH! OH! Speaking of hugging, I was actually starting to type up that fanfiction with the love square in it. You know what I'm talkin' boot right, guys? Yeah. I started working on chapter 1. I have like, five paragraphs so far.

Oh, and if you're wondering why I haven't been on MSN... Two words: "My mom". Every time she lets me on for an hour she's like, "Don't talk to no stupid people", but I do it anyway because none of you are stupid. Don't worry... every weekend when I go to Dad's... I'll be on. I'll. Be. On.

{With Nick still stricken from depression and lack of buttseckz, Roxy decides to splurge on her "Be-Nice-To-Nick" budget and call on the one person who can cheer him up.}

Ooooh. Emo episode. Sounds good to me.

Also, Mom woke me up at like, 9 AM to do all kinds of chores. I can't even remember what they all are. This sucks. I wanna not live here anymore. GEE, I WISH SOMEONE WOULD TAKE ME IN OFF THE STREETS. : /

*cough cough* Yeah, uh... man, I'm havin' a good ol' time over at HMB: The Board these days. Which reminds me, its two-year anniversary is in July. July 29th, I think. I don't remember. I'll have to check the bottom of the index page again. And yeah, I set it up back in mid-2004. Good ol' Phantommon is still the oldest member, since techincally, "Hagurumon" died. Or so they think... *shifty*

Hugs, please.

Okay, so like, I've been working on my SKF scripts as usual. I think I might be out of my writer's block, because episode 22 ("Alpha, Beta, Crappa") looks kinda decent. But I should probably go back and fix up some other ones.

This is Nick the brick, signing off.

Wow. In just three days, five people joined the Batia Studios crew. Man, SKF is gonna kick ass now.

Anyway, despite yet another of my hopes and dreams being shattered, I guess I still have a little will to live left. Maybe. Eh, I guess so.

Me an' CE1/Phantommon/The Conductor were working on the SKFWiki last night. I didn't really do much other than add a few characters to the cast listing.

Also, here's a list of stuff I look for in a girlfriend, just in case... you know... somethin' happens. If you recall, the first person to hook me up STILL wins 1000 points and a pizza.
*Bonus Stage obsession
*Hotness
*Hugs
*Buttseckz, I guess
*Ummm... actually, that's it.

Yeah, I know... I suck. Whatev.

I have the strangest urge to take screenshots of Bonus Stage.

Also, I found some cool platform shoes on eBay yesterday, but I looked again today, and for some reason my size is no longer there. Ah, well. I'll check back again later.

I also still need to draw nekkid Bonus Stage peeps. And yes. I know. "I WANT NEKKID PHIL". I haven't forgotten. I'll get to that. But I'm guessing some of you saw that comic I drew the other day... I'm really, really bad at drawing. >_<

And this concludes today's rant on education. If you disagree, you're smelly. Well, actually... I've smelled most of you. You smell pretty good. Like vanilla. Or lemons. Lemony vanilla fragrances. It's awesome. Whatever perfume you guys wear, keep wearing it. It's deliciously aromatic. *cough cough* Anyway, Mom's out on Avon business, so I'm online inputting a few orders. Also, I'm obviously on other sites, too. Ssh. Don't tell her. : P

Also, if it seems that I have a hatred of school, you're right. I DESPISE SCHOOL. Too many horrible memories. And all that wasted time that I'll never be able to get back. During that wasted time, I could've been doing something that actually WILL get me a better life someday, liiiiiike... talking to hot chicks on the Internet, or drawing some SKF stuff. Not that I really had SKF in mind back then, but still. I had The Nick Team back then. And also, back in elementary school and middle school, all the kids and some of the staff hated me. Dude. I got into fights all the time, just because of my personality (which was the same as it is now). Honestly. Could you imagine, like, some school kids ganging up and beating the crap out of Phil? ...Okay, bad example.

But, look. I'm luckily out of school now (homeschooled), so there's one obstacle out of the way. Now I just need to get out of this house and never come back. Because I also hate my parents, and my life in general, and I'm actually kinda sick of being alive. Maybe I wouldn't be if only my friggin' parents would leave me alone. Man, I looked in this Kid's Encyclopedia thing, and apparently minimum wage is like, 600 bucks a week. 600 A WEEK. How am I having so much trouble getting 50 a month?! If I could actually get some kid of crappy job, even for minimum wage, I could at least get my own house somewhere. Maybe I can work at some fast food place or... I dunno. But dude. 600 a month. That can easily cover the house payments, Internet access, the phoneline, and maybe electricity. And yes, that's all I need. Dude, screw plumbing. I don't want a bathroom anyway. And heat? Heck, I'll get by on buttloads of blankets. All I need leftover is enough for like, food, and I guess I'll need a frisge, can opener, and microwave. I think 600 a month can cover that stuff...

I'm serious, man. If the bank won't let me get my own place despite me having the money, just because I'm only 14, I'm going to be extremely pissed. Also, I'm feeling really emo today. Just thought I should warn you.

With love,

I tried drawing the Nick Bate thing I mentioned the other day, and as expected, I screwed up. Ironically, I drew something too big. Also, I made a list of the voice actors and stuff (I voice 11 characters!). Batia Studios has 5 crew members, so far. Although I'm not sure if Tara's still gonna do stuff or not. Anywaaaaay... I was watching more Bonus Stage. I then tried to draw Joel and Phil with my drawing tablet. Turned out pretty nicely.

Man, I have very little time left on here, so I'd better, uh, get over to HMB: The Board. Latah, dudes and dudettes.
