Liberty and hope divine
Changing the water into wine
So to you we bid farewell
Kingdom of heaven to hell

Spirit holy life eternal
Raise me up take me home

Onward journey begun

To courage find and gracious will
Deliver good from ill
Clean the water clean our guilt
With us do what you will

Then will my judge appear
Bear no false angel that I hear
For only then I will confess
To my eternal hell

Now give us our holy sign
Changing the water into wine
So to you we bid farewell
Kingdom of heaven to hell

Spirit holy, life eternal
Raise me up take me home
Pilgrim sunrise pagan sunset
Onward journey begun

Now give us our holy sign
Changing the water into wine
So to you we bid farewell
Kingdom of heaven to hell

Spirit holy, life eternal
Raise me up take me home
Pilgrim sunrise pagan sunset
Onward journey begun

Spirit holy, life eternal
Raise me up take me home
Pilgrim sunrise pagan sunset
Onward journey begun



WHAT WAS HIGH SCHOOL LIKE?
The Storm- (Bram Stoker's Dracula soundtrack)
You don't know the half of it...

1- WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE TRANSFORMER?
Soundwave. He can launch his friends from his chest, and he has that awesome voice.


2- WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU MET YOUR FAVORITE TRANSFORMER?
Mash "play" and put him on my shelf


3- WHAT WOULD YOUR FAVORITE TRANSFORMER DO IF HE/SHE MET YOU?
Declare himself "superior" and blast me with a sonic cannon.


4- WHAT MUSIC DOES HE/SHE LISTEN TO?
He IS music.


5- DO YOU HAVE AN OC?
Yeah, there's Dead Zone, who transforms into a hearse. He's a Decepticon, of course. He's a talented sniper who automatically thinks up the worst-case scenario in his head. On the one hand, this makes him very logical and able to plan for the worst, on the other hand, it makes him extremely paranoid and unwilling to trust even himself. He tends to put on different personas around other Decepticons because of his insecurity. Then there's Zed, his binary-bonded mini-con/targetmaster partner who turns into his sniper rifle, but turns into a coffin in vehicle mode. Zed is like the voice of reason to Dead Zone's paranoia. He's a bit more short-tempered and foul-mouthed when he does talk. he's not really much of a talker in general, only piping up when he feels he needs to. Because of their binary bond, they can feel what the other feels and even read each other's thoughts to a limited degree. I haven't really written a story about Dead Zone and Zed yet, but maybe I will in the future.

6- WHAT WOULD YOUR OC DO IF HE/SHE MET YOUR FAVORITE TRANSFORMER?
He'd be calm on the surface when introducing himself, but on the inside, he'd be so full of random thoughts ("What if he's an autobot spy, what if he hates me? what if he's going to kill me to try and gain megatron's favor?) that it might show in the form of a slight twitch or a tic, until of course Zed would snap him out of it.) Soundwave would probably just look at Deadzone (who would seem to be talking to himself)


7- WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE AUTOBOT?
do maximals count? if so, then Dinobot.


8- WHAT CRAZY THING COULD YOU IMAGINE HIM/HER DOING?
"Rrarhg... It would be dishonorable to lose at dance dance revolution... vermin... I accept your challenge."


9- WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE DECEPTICON?
Blitzwing (Animated)

10- WHAT CRAZY THING COULD YOU IMAGINE HIM/HER DOING?
It's fraggin' Blitzwing. What crazy thing could you NOT imagine him doing?

11- WHAT WOULD YOUR FAVORITE AUTOBOT AND DECEPTICON DO IF THEY MET EACH OTHER?
Dinobot would probably get really tired of Blitwing really quickly.
"Enough of your babbling, Decepticon!"
while Blitzwing would taunt Dinobot, in turn crashing into a tree or accidentally reverting to tank mode while flying.


12- WHO IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE AUTOBOT?
I'll tell you who it is this time
It's Wheelie, the little autobot that rhymes!


13- WHO IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE DECEPTICON?
I dunno, it seems the 'cons are more interesting than the bots as far as characters go for both personality and character design. Ok, I'm going to say Galvatron because his "Classics" toy sucked ass.


13- IF YOU COULD MARRY YOUR FAVORITE TRANSFORMER, HOW MANY KIDS WOULD YOU HAVE?
I think marrying a cassette player is only legal in france or something.

14- WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TRANSFORMERS PAIRING?
Don't have one really. If I had to choose, Blackarachnia/Silverbolt

16- HAVE YOU EVER CALLED A TRANSFORMER HOT?
Yeah, Arcee to be specific.


17- IF YOU COULD TRANSFORM INTO A CAR, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
The delorean from back to the future. Or KITT


18- WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE FEMALE AUTOBOT?
Arcee. She's a murdering psycopath in the comics

19- WHAT SIDE WOULD YOU JOIN?
The 'cons. They're just awesome.

20- DID YOU LIKE THIS QUIZ?
Yeah.

They turned out better than I expected! My roommate tried some and he said they were delicious. I also didn't burn anything, so that's a plus.

Of note is the fact that I never really thought about the sheer volume of toys I had at my old place. Besides stuff like game consoles, I had enough plastic to fill 5 3-foot high boxes. That's a lot. Though it is a point of pride for me to say I probably played with ALL of them at least once. That being said, only my Transformers, my assorted plushies, and a select few could come with me.
Living on my own is a strange experience. I don't have a car so I have to walk or take the bus everywhere. At least I'm getting good exercise and being independent is a great feeling.

--------------------------------------------------------
A sad aside, though. Shortly after I moved out, my mom called to tell me that Cookie, our first family cat, had died. I think he was well over 13 years old, which is a very long time for a housecat to live. He was such a loving cat, and even though it's sad, I'm glad he's not in pain any more (he had gotten really sick in the weeks leading up to his death.) You will be missed, and I hope we'll be able to see you in heaven, Cookie. Goodnight, sweet prince.

Yesterday, my friends and I went to a truly epic protest. [link] against the Church- scratch that, Cult of Scientology. If you watched the Fox news footage in Atlanta, I was standing next to the woman who was essentially leading the protest. She happens to be a friend of mine, and she said she became more empowered after the cops aimed a gun at her. She was truly amazing, and an inspiration to everyone. I was running for water for her, as she was yelling for about three hours straight. It was a truly excellent turnout with beautiful weather and over 200 people there. In case you didn't think the CoS was paranoid before, they had a fully armed SWAT team with tear gas launchers, helicopters, and snipers. It was pretty intimidating to see them come down the street, clacking their batons on their shin armor and stand in front of the CoS building.

Does anyone know of a decent-looking 1/32 scale model of a Hearse? (preferably in black, preferably plastic) If not, then do you think there's something that could resemble or pass for the top of a hearse if repainted in Matte black?

I'm also thinking of making a little removeable coffin- Do you think should I make it a mini-con or a partner TF or some sort of weapon?

Today my friends and I went to a "Private Modeling" place and just took a tour because they wouldn't let us in to the strip club across the street (apparently you have to be 21 to enter, bah. One more year...)

At this point I'm waiting until my friend reports back to me about the experience before I go. I've never been to a place like that before, but apparently from what I heard, it's based on how well you tip, and I am currently destitute, so I've gotta find out whether it's worth it first. From the tour, I found they have several rooms, the standard room with a sofa and a mini stage for the girl to dance, a futon room with a large futon and not much else (though I think little complaints will be had), a video room where you watch a sexy video (the lady giving the tour said you can use the room by yourself, or have one of the ladies come in with you to "enhance" the experience. No idea what that means in particular, but it may have something to do with the lotion and tissues on the table.) the VIP room, which had a bed, a shower, and a leather couch (and encouraged booking the room with multiple ladies)... and finally the dungeon- chains, whips, clamps, hot wax, and a pain waiver before you enter. Basically, I'm waiting on my friend's review before I try this place out for myself. Hopefully, it'll be positive, as I want to celebrate my 20th birthday during Mardi Gras as my actual DOB falls on Ash Wednesday, not exactly a party day.

Don't get me wrong, while I like some aspects of it, being 20 sucks. Everything is just within reach, but I can't get to it just yet. This depresses me, as I realize that I will probably spend my 20th birthday on my friend's couch getting wasted with my friends yet again, just like we do every other day. I don't know, I just feel particularly empty this year. Again, maybe I'm just tired.

It seems kind of odd that I would lament the closing of a game store, but let me explain.
It was at one time, a hangout. A safe haven where I would always see some friendly faces. This place was my first real job, and in some odd way a home away from home.

I am sure we've all had places we can remember that are now long gone. For a time, the friendly local gaming store was a permanent fixture marking my journey from adolescence to adulthood.

Today, I gazed at its entropy. Empty dust-caked shelves stood there. Once, they were crowded with vast realms depicting all manner of worlds and characters, digital as well as those within our minds jotted down onto pencil and paper. I peered in past the spot where the constant hum of arcade machines once lovingly tended gorging themselves on our quarters once stood. Even the faded Super Mario cube, which I had myself placed there long before was long gone, a clear area. It looked like a bare patch surrounded by the dust of the ages, only so recently moved.

Gone are the early mornings playing Dungeons and Dragons in our comfortable Hobbit-hole, perusing the plethora of figurines and trading cards we would purchase and trade with each other. Gone are the hours spent idly between customers talking about Star Wars and wizards and robots and anything and everything in between. I remeber stopping by and showing everyone my lucky finds from that morning perusing the flea market. They called it "More of RJ's Crap!" yet they would sift through it, as interested in it as I was.

Some day, I would like to tell you all about Patrick Swayze, lions, why she didn't want the competition, what phase (the) Sam was in that day, and of course, the "eh!" To let you into our inside-jokes where you could be who you really were, always with a laugh.

Old Man Andrew ran the store as a labor of love. He played Dungeons and Dragons from its conception until the modern age. Most of his business was online nowadays, but he kept the store like a lighthouse into the fog where others like us could find a haven among the Monster Manuals and Player's Handbooks.

I went there today. I was expecting it to still be there. Nobody told me anything about it's closing until I walked that hall where it had always been. Still, I know I had to watch its death. It was like being at a funeral, where I was the sole mourner, the echo of my footsteps on the concrete the monotonous dirge pining for nostalgia.

Once, there was a place here...
