                <description><![CDATA[ Y'know...I've never seriously felt like knocking back a few bottles just for the sake of wanting to feel better about things. Sure, I've had the urge for a drink just for fun, but nothing like this.<br /><br /><br />I kinda wish I had a drinking buddy right now...seems like a good alternative to what my mind is doing to me now. <br /><br />Yeah, that a bad way to think.

                <description><![CDATA[ 1. Turn on your iTunes (or whatever you use)<br />
2. Put on shuffle<br />
3. Write the first line of each song<br />
4. You all guess! Correct guesses will be bolded out<br />
<br />
1.	Music is a world within itself in a language we all understand.<br />
2.	Obi Trice. Real name, no gimmicks.<br />
3.	I woke up this morning. I could barely breathe. Just an empty impression on the bed where you used to be.<br />
<b>4.	I have to block out thoughts of you so I donÂt lose my head. -Becki</b><br />
<b>5.	At first I was afraid; I was petrified. Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side. -Becki</b><br />
6.	Here I stand, empty hands. Wishing my wrists were bleeding to stop the pain from the beatings.<br />
7.	Kazo e kirei nai demo sukoshi no saigetsu wa nagare <br />
8.	Can you feel that? Oh shit...<br />
<b>9.	I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind. I left my body lying somewhere in the sands of time. -Becki</b><br />
<b>10.	WhatÂs this? WhatÂs this? ThereÂs color everywhere. -Becki</b><br />
<b>11.	Ladies and gentlemen please, would you bring your attention to me? -Becki</b> <br />
12.	 Break me down, youÂve got a lovely place. WeÂre going to your place.<br />
13.	This is not the way I wanted things to be. I hope someday youÂll understand.<br />
14.	ThereÂs nothing wrong with me. ThereÂs something wrong with you. ThereÂs something wrong with me.<br />
<b>15.	 Today I woke up, I woke up knowing, today is the day I will die. -Becki</b><br />
16.	Namiga yosete wakaesu kono ashi no tori<br />
17.	My cock is much bigger than yours.<br />
18.	Well you ask me about the clothes I wear and you ask me why I grow my hair.<br />
19.	Is that seat taken? Congratulations. Would you like to take a walk with me?<br />
20.	I was hanging with the fellas. Saw you with your new boyfriend, it made me jealous.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I got 8.5 hours this week?<br />
And last week I only had 10?<br />
<br />
Listen the fuck up Wegmans:<br />
I need hours. My car just doesn't drive itself to school on non-existant gas.<br />
Textbooks don't buy themselves.<br />
Food does not magically appear in front of you for free (unless you're at Tig's apartment lol).<br />
<br />
I'm hoping this changes very soon...<br />
<br />
<br />
Excuse me. My stress level just went over its limit. I'll be throwing things at my wall now.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well there was one kid in my math class, who I thought was decent and kind of cool. Sadly, no. <br />
<br />
He tried to talk me into a threesome with him and his girlfriend. Why?<br />
1. It would be the best thing ever to have two hott girlfriends.<br />
2. Twice as much attention for him.<br />
3. I'm bi, so it would be the best of both worlds for me.<br />
<br />
Uhh...no. I'm bi because I am attracted to men and women, not because I'm one of these "fad girls" who do all this crazy stuff and act bi just for the extra attention. Not me, sorry. I'll either have one boyfriend or one girlfriend to dedicate my time, attentions and love to. <br />
<br />
Don't assume that just because someone is "bi" they into being wild freaks. That's not what bi is.<br />
<br />
I am a woman. I have feelings. Just because you think I have a pretty face, doesn't mean I'm into just being your plaything. I'm not. I happen to be one of those people that actually believes in dedicated relationships between two people who truly care about each other. <br />
<br />
I will not makeout with your girlfriend for your benefit or because "I'm bi so I would enjoy it".<br />
<br />
I'm not going to go out with you if I barely know you.<br />
<br />
I will NOT have sex with you even if I have known you for a while.<br />
<br />
Deal the fuck with it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
God...men irritate me lately.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I was in the parking lot this morning and I heard this horrid noise. Like...take a very large rodent and poke it with some skewers until it starts dying. That was the noise. I looked over...and it was a seagull? O_O Holy crap, I had no idea a seagull could make such an awful noise. I laughed all the way to class.<br />
<br />
Hispanics are officially too sexy for the world. They all need to be moved to the moon or something. The planet cannot contain all of them and their sexiness. Yeah, I found my racial fetish. Millo-face has the asians, I have the Hispanics and no one has the French. The French are still up for grabs everyone!<br />
<br />
Seriously though, there's a hispanic dude in my japanese class. (hispanics...japanese...what? O_O ) He reminds me soooooo much of someone else I know...Vick. I can't help it. I study this kid like there's no tomorrow. Maybe I figure if I can memorize his movements and body language, I'll be closer to Vick. Kinda like having a clone of him. O_O It actually creeps me out a little. Meh, maybe I'm not describing it well. I don't like this other kid except for the fact he reminds me of Vick. T_T<br />
<br />
Penises also need to die. There's too many of them EVERYWHERE! At school, at work...gah! I'm sick of guys. Tell them all to just go away.<br />
<br />
Except for Vick and Millo-face and Jesse Cruz...you guys don't count.  You and your penises can stay. I'm sorry if theres any other cool penises that I forgot. T_T<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yes, because the almighty J-Christ has decreed it, I shall post a journal with all my ever so interesting problems. At first, I didn't really have any. Then I stopped and thought about it...<br />
<br />
First off, good news. I now have a job at the Wegman's sub shop. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /> Now I can buy textbooks and gas to get to school. Woot!<br />
<br />
The start of the school year is always really sucky for me. This year I started a new major and had to make all new friends. Problem is, RIT doesn't believe in putting more than four girls in the same class as compared to having at least fifteen guys. I like guys and everything...but I need female friends. To talk about female things. And to have a break from guy things...<br />
<br />
On the first day of class, a creepy guy followed me to my car and started asking really...personal questions. If I have a boyfriend...why the guy I'm interested in doesn't deserve me...yeah. It freaked me out. Then he started following me after class on the second day too. Hopefully this stops...I've been calling one of my friends to walk me to my car and such to keep the creepy one away. <br />
<br />
My love life sucks. It kind of takes a nosedive as soon as school starts. This year is no exception...I feel isolated from him. He's busy with his projects and his friends and stuff. I don't blame him or anything. I know he has a life besides talking to me on the phone. I just kinda wish he was around more often. I get depressed because he isn't around and I tend to withdraw...then we fight about stupid things and I withdraw more...stupid cycle. *le sigh*<br />
<br />
Anyhoo, there be my problems J-Christ. There's more, but I don't really feel like sharing them here. Feel free to note me.<br />
<br />
I hope the rest of you are doing better than me! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />
<br />
Oh yeah...and come home soon. It sucks without you guys here.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
I've been trying to keep my chin up lately, but its extremely hard with all the stress. The good thing is, I have a job interview tomorrow. I just hope that goes well. <br />
<br />
School starts in a week. I'm nervous. It feels like I'm starting over again as a freshman because of how I had to switch majors. I'm probably going to be with mostly guys. -_- I need more female friends.<br />
<br />
And stuff! Working on arts. Thinking I should set up a commissions shop on gaia. Maybe...we'll see how busy I am with school.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, some of you know already, but for those who don't...<br />
<br />
I lost my job.<br />
<br />
And I didn't just lose my job, I got fired for absolutely no reason. My former boss is just an ego-freak that can't take even a small change unless it came from inside his puny little head.<br />
<br />
One week prior to being fired, I left a note by the sink politely asking that people clean up their own dishes. I didn't point out anyone in particular, but myself and other members of the night crew were getting sick of picking up after the morning crew. As one co-worker put it, "I'm not a cleaning service. This wasn't in my job description." Fair enough right?<br />
<br />
My boss saw this, accused me of being a rebel and trying to start trouble with the morning crew (which is a bit silly because a. it was a polite note, complete with please and thank you and b. it wasn't addressed to anyone). He said that the night crew has been cleaning dishes for 35 years and that wasn't going to change now. I could either take down the note or go home. And he didn't just say this, he screamed it, rather loudly, in front of my fellow co-workers and any customers in the area. Completely unnecessary.<br />
<br />
So I was quite shocked that an innocent note could cause such a huge scene. I was so upset and outraged over how ridiculous this was that I was fighting back tears the rest of my shift. Had I not needed the hours so badly, I would have walked out on him.<br />
<br />
This past Friday, a half hour before close, my boss starts in on it again. He tells me to clean the dishes in the sink. I knew what he was up to. So I helped a few customers and started my sweeping (which had to be done every night along with vacuuming). Halfway through the sweeping he says to me "did you hear me about the dishes?" and I said yes, but I wanted to finish my sweeping first. Then one of my co-workers asked me to cover the front for her, which took about 5-10 minutes. By the time I got back, it was 15 minutes to close and I still hadn't vacuumed, which takes a good 15-20 minutes. <br />
<br />
So I vacuumed until 5 minutes to close when my boss insisted I "forget the vacuuming, I really want those dishes cleaned. Now." I said, "Okay George, but the floor still looks dirty." I cleaned all the dishes but one cup and two forks before it was time to leave. <br />
<br />
The next day, after working a five hour shift, he came in and fired me for being "billigerent (nope) and disobedient (wrong again, sorry)."  He went on about how I "purposely stalled to avoid doing dishes" and that "he knew what I was doing". I shrugged and said fine, but that wasn't true and left to go tell my co-workers what had happened. I made sure they knew it was over flippin' dishes. Of course, my boss was behind me and heard all this and says "this isn't up for negotiation. Do the grown-up thing and leave." I said, "I'm not negotiating anything George. You made the choice. You're the boss."<br />
<br />
"Yeah. <i>Now</i> you know who the boss is."<br />
<br />
I went up front, broke down in front of Lauren (who was my closest friend in the store). We left together and on the way out I said, "nice working with you George." Not snotty or sarcastic or anything.<br />
<br />
"The pleasure was all yours."<br />
<br />
I just stood there with my mouth open, not believing how much of a dickhead this guy was being. Then I figured, since I didn't work for him anymore, I didn't have to be nice. I tried to be the bigger person, it failed, now I was going to bitch at him. So,  right in front of everyone, customers and all...<br />
<br />
"George, if you're going to fire me over something as unreasonable as dishes, I don't want to work for you anyways."<br />
<br />
He got so pissed. ^_^ I could have called him a fucktard or any number of things, but he had already claimed the role of the childish one. I figured I might as well play the mature one.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So...whee...now I need a new job. T_T<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I was talking to a friend on the phone the other day and I said that I needed to talk to him about something. He had made a comment earlier about how working hard for something makes the payoff seem that much sweeter, which sparked something for me. So as I mention his previous statement he said...that he realized I had been through a lot...that both of us had. He said that I was a strong person...one of the strongest people he knew. And he apologized for ever saying that I was weak...that sometimes he forgets to remember how strong I really am.<br />
<br />
Damn, I felt like crying. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> Because thoe words, coming from him, were completely out of the blue. And it had nothing to do with what I wanted to talk to him about at all. It was really sweet...<br />
<br />
On another note...I caught my own 4.5k. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> I suck.<br />
<br />
On yet another note, I'm (hopefully) going to the RIT show with <a href="http://nightsoul1606.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/n/i/nightsoul1606.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconnightsoul1606:" title="nightsoul1606"/></a> (as long as he finds money), his girlfriend and my other friend Julian.

                <description><![CDATA[ I was at school yesterday, blowing off my production class like I usually do. Honestly, I can't stand going to that class. Usually I'll fall asleep. So anyways, I'm skipping class, so I decide to check my email.<br />
<br />
I have a D in scriptwriting.<br />
<br />
At first I got kinda freaked out. I don't think I've had a D in anything in my life. Then I stopped to think...<br />
<br />
"Here I am, skipping a class. I have a D in another...and I really just don't care. I don't really want to make up the work. I hate the class...I just don't care."<br />
<br />
So, right there, I made the decision I had been debating in my head ever since the beginning of winter quarter: I'm going to switch majors.<br />
<br />
I don't want to make movies. I hate conforming to "normal" concepts for stories, where guy meets girl and yadda yadda yadda. I hate how the professors tell us to be creative, but to their standards of what they like. That isn't creativity! That's me trying to please your tastes. I hate working with film. I'm not close with anyone in my major, so I have no one to work with on projects and end up doing them all by myself (which is a ton of work, and everyone else is paired up with someone). I dread going to class. And the most important thing:<br />
<br />
I'm not happy. I can't see myself doing this forever.<br />
<br />
So...I'm really scared...but I have to tell my parents about it. My original plan for college was to do game design, but RIT told me they had nothing like that. I did some research and it turns out...they do. I really want to switch into that.<br />
<br />
I want to come up with crazy ideas that only exist and are accepted in a video game world. I want to design characters and give them backstories. I would love to do cut-scene work. I would work on music mixing. Even programming the game, I would do that too. That's where I really wanted to be in the first place. I'm tired of forcing myself to do something I don't like.<br />
<br />
Wish me luck...<br />
<br />
On another note...things are slowly starting to work out between him and I. At least we don't fight as much anymore. Hardly at all actually. In a way...I've kind of accepted that we aren't getting back together. Just because I've accepted it, doesn't mean I still don't cry over it. A lot. But at the same time, I think the crying is senseless. Crying won't change the past and it won't make him come back. So why do I bother? Who knows...<br />
<br />
RIP to all the people from yesterday's massacre. No one deserves that sort of fate...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ First you randomly pick 10 characters from a manga/anime/game.<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Iselia<br />
2. Blair<br />
3. Tsukasa (.hack//sign)<br />
4. Vash (trigun)<br />
5. Hinoki (betterman)<br />
6. Wolfwood (trigun)<br />
7. Dias (Star ocean 2)<br />
8. Tri-edge (.hack//GU)<br />
9. Chii (chobits)<br />
10. Soubi (loveless)<br />
<br />
<br />
Then you answer the questions below by plugging in the person next to the respective number into the question. It's kind of long...<br />
<br />
<br />
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF...<br />
<br />
1.Number 1 (Iselia) woke you up in the middle of the night?<br />
> Either she had a nightmare or she's going to kill me. O_O I'd be freaked.<br />
<br />
2. Number 2 (Blair) asked you to go out with him?<br />
> Isel would kill me. O_O And then kill Blair.<br />
<br />
3. Number 3 (Tsukasa) walked into the bathroom while you're showering?<br />
> Well, he's cute and shy. He'd probably realize I was in the shower, freak and run away.<br />
<br />
4. Number 4 (Vash) cooked you dinner?<br />
> Vash may be good with a gun, but I'm not so sure if he can cook. >_> I would pretend not to be hungry.<br />
<br />
5. Number 5 (Hinoki) was lying next to you on the beach, sleeping?<br />
> Ignore her? Heh, I don't know.<br />
<br />
6. Number 8 (Tri-edge) got into the hospital somehow?<br />
> Can malicious computer code go to the hospital? I think not. Besides, Tri-edge can repair his broken data anyways. He needs no hospital.<br />
<br />
7. Number 9 (Chii) made fun of your friends?<br />
> Chii is too adorable and naive to think that its possible to make fun of someone!<br />
<br />
8. Number 10 (Soubi) ignored you all the time?<br />
> Soubi has his own agenda anyways. Shows up when he feels like it, leaves when he feels like it. I wouldn't mind too much.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
WHAT WOULD THEY DO UNDER THE FOLLOWING CIRCUMSTANCES?<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Two serial killers are hunting you down. What will Number 1 (Iselia) do?<br />
> Kill the killers. Not for my sake or anything, she just murderous. O_O<br />
<br />
2. You're on a vacation with Number 2 (Blair) and you manage to break your leg. What does Number 2 do?<br />
> Act all annoyed, but he would probably carry me to a hospital or something anyways. And then he would blame me for interrupting his vacation.<br />
<br />
3. It's your birthday. What will 3 (Tsukasa) give you?<br />
> Probably something really cute and handmade. But he'd act all shy about it and worry that it wasn't good enough.<br />
<br />
4. You're stuck in a house that's on fire. What does Number 4 (Vash) do?<br />
> Save the women and ruuuuuuunnnn!<br />
<br />
5. You're about to do something that'll make you feel extremely embarrassed. What will Number 5 (Hinoki) do?<br />
> Pretend not to know me and walk away. >_><br />
<br />
6. You're about to marry Number 10. (Soubi) What's Number 6's (Wolfwood) reaction?<br />
> Well, Wolfwood's a priest. He would probably do the ceremony. ^_^<br />
<br />
7. You got dumped by someone. How will Number 7 (Dias) cheer you up?<br />
> Dias isn't really a "I'm going to cheer you up" kind of person. He might try, but he'd be awkward about it.<br />
<br />
8. You're angry about it afterwards, how does Number 8 (Tri-edge) calm you down?<br />
> [insert heavy breathing here]<br />
Me: *freaks out and becomes even less calm than before*<br />
<br />
9. You compete in some tournament. How does Number 9 (Chii) support you?<br />
> Enters and mimics my every move, with the occasional "Chii?"<br />
<br />
10. You can't stop laughing. What will Number 10 (Soubi) do?<br />
> Probably smile while in his head thinking, "What is up with that girl?"<br />
<br />
RELATIONSHIP PART<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Number 1 (Iselia) is all you've ever dreamed of.<br />
> Erm...nope. Sorry Isel.<br />
<br />
2. Number 2 (Blair) tells you about his/her deeply hidden love for Number 9 (Chii). Your reaction?<br />
> I guess Blair gave up on real girls and went for robots. But, nah. Blair doesn't love anyone.<br />
<br />
3. You're dating Number 3 (Tsukasa) and introduce him to your parents. Will they get along?<br />
> Nope. They would get pissed that I had an internet boyfriend.<br />
<br />
4. Number 4 (Vash) loves Number 9 (Chii) as well. What does that mean?<br />
> Everyone's going for the robots now, eh? What's wrong with real girls?!<br />
<br />
5. Number 6 (Wolfwood) appears to be a player, he breaks many hearts. What do you do?<br />
> He is kind of a ladies man isn't he? I would tell him that he's a horrible priest and to stop hitting on everyone.<br />
<br />
6. You had a haircut and Number 7(Dias) can't stop looking at you. What goes on in your mind?<br />
> He probably thinks I look weird, or won't admit that he likes me.<br />
<br />
7. Number 8 (Tri-edge) thinks he'll never get a girlfriend. What will you tell him?<br />
> Well maybe if you stop with that creepy breathing thing and fix your eyes so you don't look like the thing from the... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ "It's Just Me" by Blue October<br />
<br />
I lost a piece of me in you;<br />
I think I left it in your arms.<br />
I forget the reasons I got scared,<br />
But remember that I cared quite a lot.<br />
<br />
You see but lately I've been on my own.<br />
Yeah one, but one by choice.<br />
You see, thats a first for me,<br />
There's only me, yeah theres only me,<br />
And now I realize for once,<br />
It's just me.<br />
It's just me.<br />
It's just me,<br />
And I'll find a way to make it,<br />
There's noone left to stop me.<br />
Here I go.<br />
Can we take it from the top?<br />
<br />
So why so long?<br />
So sad, I wanna be strong.<br />
Don't try to take this from me.<br />
I'm already spent living half my life undone<br />
So why so long?<br />
So sad, I wanna be strong.<br />
Don't try to take this from me.<br />
I've already spent my life living half undone.<br />
<br />
I've been talking to my aunts and uncles, mom and dad again.<br />
I've been finding out that I have what this world calls friends.<br />
I've tried to push them all away,<br />
They push me back and wanna stay<br />
And that's one good thing I have.<br />
<br />
I'm gonna feel a peace in me,<br />
I'm gonna feel at home.<br />
I'm gonna make this cloud above me disappear, be gone.<br />
I wanna feel a punch inside, my heart beat on the floor.<br />
I don't wanna hurt no more.<br />
<br />
Yeah it's just me.<br />
It's just me<br />
And i'll find a way to make it.<br />
There's noone left to stop me.<br />
Here i go, can we take it from the top?<br />
<br />
So why so long?<br />
So sad, I wanna be strong.<br />
Don't try to take her from me.<br />
I've already spent my life living half undone.<br />
<br />
So why so long?<br />
So sad, i wanna be strong.<br />
Don't try to take her from me.<br />
I've already spent my life living half undone.<br />
<br />
I used to be the one who won before.<br />
I used to smile but dont no more.<br />
I'm living just to watch it all go by.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ To everyone that left comments: THANK YOUS!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/glomp.gif" width="47" height="20" alt=":glomp:" title="Glomp!" /> It really helpled a lot. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />
<br />
Ugh so much crap lately. I'm falling behind in two of my classes and as worried as I am about my grades and crap...I can't seem to bring myself to do any of the work. Its really bad. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
<br />
More boy drama...I kinda wish things would just work themselves out. The situation is just so...messy. There's things I need to get off my chest, but I can't really say them because I hate dishing up the past. I just want for us to be friends or whatever, but I can't just be accepting of everything that's happened until he understands completely where I'm coming from. But he can't understand where I'm coming from because its hard for me to bring it up because it will be dishing up the past and it will start another arguement and I don't want to argue I JUST WANT THINGS TO BE FUCKING NORMAL!!<br />
<br />
...vicious cycle. SuxXors...<br />
<br />
And on top of that...someone completely killed just about all my trust. I thought I knew this kid and could trust him but...guess not. So as much as I would like to have a boyfriend or at least a really good guy friend just to cover my back and take care of me...kinda not trusting of it right now. Note if you would like more detail. I'm not gonna say anything here.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I know this is kinda really short notice, but if you guys could answer these questions (comments is fine) I would really appreciate it. My scriptwriting class has to do interviews and then create a script based on the responses. Thanks yous!!!<br />
<br />
   1. What person had the greatest influence on your life? Why?<br />
   3. What do you remember paying for things? Do you remember what a loaf of bread, a piece of candy, and a quart of milk cost when you were a child? (If yes, what did those items cost?) What do you think about prices today?<br />
   4. Have you ever believed in an elected official? (If yes, who?) Why or why not? Are you politically active today?<br />
   5. What events in your personal life stand out in your mind?<br />
   6. Where have you lived in your life? What place did you like the best?<br />
   8. Can you recall expressions that you used as a young person that you don't use today, such as "bee's knees," "far out," and "swell"? What was it like to be young then?<br />
   9. If you could tell other people something and hope they would remember it, what would you tell them?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ **Dudes and dudettes...I got this from Okama-san...I didn't make it up. >_> Oh...I feel silly now...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />**<br />
<br />
i know you all hate quizzes and tags and all that, but i thought this up and i want to share and i want to here everyones answers....so deal.<br />
answer in another journal, plee-as.<br />
<br />
Firstly. If you got a million dollars, (do you really need a reason why? if you really need a reason, FINE. the lottery. you won. woo.) What would you do with that Million dollars? Be as specific or not specific as you want.<br />
<br />
Pay off college, buy a nice iMac desktop computer and oogles of hard disk space. Buy a mansion with a waterfall and invite various bands to play there (Gazette, Dir en Grey and My Chemical Romance are currently on my mind). Go traveling...meet some of my online buddies...oh and hire a personal chef. <br />
<br />
Secondly. If you could have any Super Power or Ability, what would it be? Now this is what you want not what you would actually get based on your personality, and we all know that they are different.<br />
<br />
Hmm...well I would love to be a pyrokinetic. I mean...c'mon! Creating fire just by thinking about it? Hells yeah!! Of course I would also want to fly...hmm...but fire...but flying...ooooh. T_T<br />
<br />
Thirdly. If you never had to work ever agian in your life what would you do? YOU DON'T GET A REASON THIS TIME. FINE. IT WAS MAGIC.<br />
<br />
This is assuming I have lots of money right? Go clubbing all the time! Work on my art more...umm...hang out with peoples all the time. ^_^<br />
<br />
Fourthly. ummmmmm. what's your favorite cookie?<br />
<br />
I can't choose...T_T Sugar, vanilla wafers, milanos, chocolate chip, molasses, peanut butter sandiwch, all girl scout cookies...ohhh...I'm hungry.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well I'm back and I found the answers I was looking for quicker than I expected. Woooo! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> So Sami ish kinda happy now.<br />
<br />
...in other news...I PIERCED MY BELLY BUTTON!!<br />
<br />
It didn't really hurt that much, which was weird. Yesterday morning I tried to clean it, but passed out and nearly threw-up. My co-worker warned me that would happen if I didn't eat and...I kind of ignored her because I thought I would be fine. <br />
<br />
Me was wrong-o!<br />
<br />
So now I eat before I touch it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ If you are reading this, you must honor the great and crazy Sarie Perry and do it as well. Consider yourself tagged.<br />
<br />
<br />
1. what is a bad habit you have that ud really like to get rid of?<br />
<br />
Procrastinating...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />
<br />
2. ummm......ok, close your eyes, and turn your head to the left, then open them. what is the first thing that catches your eye?<br />
<br />
my toilet...the bathroom's across the hall from me. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
3. look around the room u are in and see if u can see something .... yellow. what is it? (if u really cant find yellow.. then..... how about green?<br />
<br />
Some church bible picture book thing...EW!<br />
<br />
4. do you like spaghetti? if yes, how do u like your spaghetti prepared? with sauce? cheese? just butter?<br />
<br />
Spaghetti with butter and cheese...sometimes I melt sliced cheese on it too. <br />
<br />
5. what color is the sky at this moment? (if you cant see out a window right now, you can either get up and look out one, or you can make up your own sky colors, but u must describe them in detail.<br />
<br />
Pretty much...light blue. Some clouds.<br />
<br />
6. say pudding out loud...... now say your favorite type of pudding (ex, say 'chocolate pudding' if thats ur fav). if you hate pudding, say 'i hate pudding' then say (still out loud) a dessert out loud that you do like (YOU MUST SAY THIS PART OUT LOUD, I DONT CARE IF U GET FUNNY LOOKS JUST DO IT DAMMIT!!!!)<br />
<br />
Chocolate pudding! No one's home to give me weird looks...aww...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
<br />
7. look away form your keyboard and press a random letter (or symbol or whatever u hit). now make a word or sentence using that letter or symbol.<br />
<br />
t...Tigers are orange and stripey.<br />
<br />
8. im getting bored so ill try to makew the rest really simple....... umm....look at your ceiling... see anything other than..... white flatness?<br />
<br />
Crazy designs...I don't know. They did something weird with my ceiling paint so it looks all cracked and texturey.<br />
<br />
9. how many pillows can u see form where you are sitting? give them all names......u can give them ilogical background too if u like<br />
<br />
Two...Shitface and Dickwad. <br />
Shitface was picked on as a baby pillow so he grew up to be a serial killer.<br />
Dickwad is just a horny bastard that got dragged along with Shitface. He rapes the corpses.<br />
<br />
10. for every letter of your first name, come up with a random word (get a dictionary if ur drawing blanks<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ First of all, and completely unrelated to anything else that will be mentioned, is it possible for women to be blood-phobic? I think not. They would pass out for a week out of every month. It would just be silly. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So...heart-broken basically. I tried. I put effort into it. I lost to another girl. Sometimes I wish I had listened to my reasonable side who kept telling me this would be coming. But nope, I tried anyways...and lost. And what sucks more is that the reasons I had for not liking this girl in the first place aren't even true. Made up. Completely made up. Now I'm going to go cry my eyes out some more...<br />
<br />
I can't even hope anymore...I threw all my hope into this. Hope brings nothing but sadness...I fell harder because I hoped.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So...I think I've officially lost it. Though, I'm not sure if I ever had it in the first place so I'm not sure if I can lose it.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Gah stuff...okay I had to block Camillo and Ashley from commenting on my page temporarily. I really just want to give things a little time to cool down before I try to sort things out with either of them.<br />
<br />
Camillo: I really appreciate that you seem to be making more of an effort to want to sort things out. Right now...I just need some time okay? You're a cool guy and I really don't want to lose you as a friend because we have had a lot of fun together over the years. The only thing is...one minute you seem to want to work things out and the next you seem to want to just accuse me again. So...give me a week and I will unblock you if you still want to talk. I'll understand if you don't want to work things out after then okay? I really do mean it when I want to keep you as a friend and even though you won't be able to respond to this journal, I just want to say I'm sorry again and I should have trusted you more and talked to you first. I hope you can accept that. Again, I'll understand if you don't. Its completely your choice.<br />
<br />
Ashley: I'm not sure what to really say here. I had hoped that if I explained things you would understand...but you don't really seem to want to see or try to see my side. I'm not saying my side was at all right or just, but I wanted to at least let you catch a glimmer of what I was thinking at the time. Some of the things you brought into this whole situation, like my finances, was completely unneccessary. That has nothing to do with anything. You say you're not mad, yet all of your actions seem to be in anger. You seem to be throwing forgiveness out there, not because you mean it, but because you want to appear to be the bigger person in this. I really don't want to stoop to name-calling or anything. There are things I could say but I won't. At this point...I don't really want to try to sort things out with you. I know this means that Camillo will probably want nothing to do with me but...oh well. I threw the oppurtunity out there if he still wants to talk. <br />
<br />
If neither of you want a relationship with me after this, that is perfectly fine. I know I would have to earn your trust again. The one thing I really don't want is for anything to end with hate on either side. So, I'll say again:<br />
<br />
Camillo, if you want to, talk to you in a week after we've had time to think and cool down.<br />
Ashley...it may take longer than a week...but in the future maybe I'll be able to talk and sort things out with you too.<br />
<br />
To everyone else: please do not feel like you have to take sides here! Don't get involved please. I don't want people on either side of this to hold things against you. For the love of all things good...just don't get involved. If you want to comment, that's okay, but please don't say something that will get you involved more than you should be. Okay? I don't care if you agree with me, Camillo, Ashley or think we're all idiots that need prozac and group therapy. Just keep your mouths shut. I mean that in the nicest way possible. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Everyone please go read what Jesse freakin Cruz has to say inmy first journal. (I call you that in a loving friend kind of way Jesse)<br />
<br />
Seriously, instead of you guys screaming and name calling, why can't we just talk like that?<br />
<br />
I made accusations about you guys, yes.<br />
<br />
I expected you to be upset, yes.<br />
<br />
I didn't expect you to jump down my throat and rip me to shreds like you did. Some of those comments were completely uncalled for even if you are mad at me.<br />
<br />
I can respect Jesse when he says I have problems with trusting people/pushing them away because of the way he says it. Not with hatred...just as a friend pointing something out. <br />
<br />
You guys, even though you have no trust for me, would get a lot better of a reaction from me if you could a tiny bit less hateful and a tiny bit more explanatory.<br />
<br />
I had no idea the thing with Sarie, Ashley and Camillo bothered you so much. I wish you would have said something sooner, but you didn't.<br />
<br />
I should have come to you each personally, but I didn't. <br />
<br />
We both screwed up okay? Why can't we just TALK instead of scream?<br />
<br />
You guys don't know a lot of stuff with what I'm going through too. Yes I didn't tell you, but some of it shouldn't be told and has to do with extremely personal feelings between me and another person who shall remain nameless. They know who they are. Its still a fresh wound and it still hurts. Thats why I lashed out like I did originally. I felt hurt because of my other issues and after two journals (one in which I told of my stress with finals, projects, and having to say goodbye to someone really important) I get no response from anyone. I was hurt. I thought someone would have maybe said something or at least wished me luck with my exams or whatever. I tried reaching out then and got nothing, so I just got angry. <br />
<br />
If you don't want to trust me, fine. But I'll say this anyways:<br />
<br />
I never did any of what I did to try to hurt people or make them not trust people. <br />
I don't look at any of you as bad people, even if I don't agree with some of the things you do.<br />
I would never insult you, call you dirty or petty or underhanded or anything like that.<br />
But I will call lies when I see them. I knew Sarie was lying and I'm sorry if you're going through an emotional time and I'm bringing this stuff up. <br />
I only said things to you guys because I cared in my own fucked-up way and I didn't want to see anyone hurt. <br />
<br />
Take it or leave it.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I'm still going to go off DA, but I'll wait until all of you have had your say about what I've done.<br />

I'm sorry. I don't know how to make up for what I've done to you.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Forget it. I'm not doing the DA thing anymore. The whole point of it  was so I could keep in touch with all of you who went away to college, but you never show up or leave comments or anything. <br />
<br />
So forget it.<br />
<br />
Yes, I realize I don't leave comments on every single one of your journals, but some of you post a couple journals in a day or two. I read them all, but sometimes I just don't comment. If its important stuff though, like you're upset about something, I always do leave a comment to check up on you. <br />
<br />
I'm sick of people letting me down lately. It feels like you're all drifting away. Even when I do reach out, nothing comes of it. I have to hear from Sarie's stepmom when she'll be home because she never tells anyone. Even when she is home, Millo and Ashie and Caitlin are much too important for her to take time out for me or Becki. I know you're family isn't always bugging you to do stuff like you say Sarie, I hear it from Sue. You're always with them.<br />
<br />
And Millo and Ashie...I know I've kept quiet about this because I tried to just let it go, but its not fair of you to toy with people's emotions like that. I feel like I was turned against Millo for no good reason. Its not fair. I know he's probably not mad, but what's he supposed to think of me now? I don't like being tricked. I don't like trying to help people and having them say, "oh, just kidding!" I know you apologized for it, but I'm still hurt by it.<br />
<br />
The rest of you that just don't stop by or comment, I'm sure you're busy. I'm busy too, I know what its like. I just wish sometimes you could spare me more than just one word. Especially when I see you hanging around other people's journals for an extended time.<br />
<br />
I'm really just sick of people. I hate how this fucking college thing has pushed some of us apart from others. I want to go back to when we all hung out. And I wish...that someone would reach out with some  kind word when I'm upset or stressed like I have been this past week. I made two journals about it. No comments on either. I even brought up before that I don't like us drifting like this before. Its for this reason alone that I don't like sharing my problems: no one says anything. They ignore it.<br />
<br />
God...maybe I'm overreacting...I can't help it. I feel like I have nothing left. This world isn't fair. Whatever feelings I may have are not important anymore...not when I know that I came second to someone else...again. I was always second, wasn't I?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My life has turned completely upside-down in the past few days and I'm running around trying to find a new equilibrium.<br />
<br />
I'm working on a short animation (scanning the frames as I type) and I'm hoping it will turn out okay. Realllly hoping it will turn out okay.<br />
<br />
I've been talking with someone I don't particularly like. Sometimes I wonder if I give away too many personal thoughts just to gain an edge or a bit of information from her. <br />
<br />
I really feel like I don't know anyone anymore. I want to go back to high school so I can see everyone all the time. <br />
<br />
I let go of a dream...something I've been trying so hard to make work for such a long time. I've decided to just let Fate run her course and hope for the best. Yes, I always try to be optimistic about it, but I'm scared too. At least we have that promise right? I just hope by me backing off and not forcing things, we come back to where we tried to be for so long.<br />
<br />
Finals...finals...finals...<br />
Stress...stress...stress...<br />
<br />
Give me a week and this all will be over.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I officially hate RIT's course registration shiznat.<br />
<br />
First of all, you have to wake up super early to register. Second, for being a technology school, you would think they have less of an issue with the servers overloading and majorly lagging. <br />
<br />
But they don't.<br />
<br />
This is especially bad when you're at home using dial-up.<br />
<br />
What does this mean? Originally I could only get into one of three required classes for this year. Now, thankfully, they have added another Scriptwriting section so I can take that as well. Still, there's no additional sections for Fundamentals of Computing and Imaging, which I also need to take.<br />
<br />
Sami ish very angry.<br />
<br />
The even suckier thing is, there's other classes I could be taking, but they all interfere with my required shit. I could be taking Gesture Drawing for Animators or Intro to 3D Modelling. But noooooooooo.<br />
<br />
So, I'm frustrated.<br />
<br />
And to add to my frustration, Valentine's Day is coming up. I hate the sorry excuse for a holiday and I hate even more that I'll be stuck in class that day. Of course, even if I didn't have class, I still would not have a date. T_T I told my mommy to bring a flower home for me so I could pretend to feel special and she kinda laughed. <br />
<br />
I wasn't kidding though.<br />
<br />
So there's my first emo rant in a long time. Enjoy.<br />
Oh yeah, and if you haven't watched my video, please do.<br />
I'll be working on my final animation.<br />

I wish there was.<br />
<br />
Currently pissed at the entire male gender.<br />
Except for Jesse Cruz.<br />
His penis is just about cool enough to be a vagina.<br />
Actually, it might halfway be a vagina.<br />
He is Sex after all, therefore he must know both genitals.<br />
<br />
No, this journal was not made because of the "asshle" pictures or journals.<br />
That's their business.<br />
This was made because of one of my personal problems.<br />
No, I don't feel like sharing.<br />
Just tell anything with a penis to leave me alone.<br />
Unless its Jesse Cruz of course.<br />
He's practically a woman anyways.<br />
No offense J-Christ, but you do think like a woman.<br />
Its a compliment.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Well...only the ones I know personally.<br />

<br />
*COLLEGE UPDATE*<br />
First semester is over. Whoo!!<br />
I got 4 C's, a B and an A. Kinda not used to such low grades, but I'll try harder next time.<br />
Next semester is going to suck. All film courses. Blah! XP<br />
At least last time I had a bit of a break for Philosophy. I <i>would</i> have had Beginner's Japanese but the stupid Asians in my school put a hold on the class so that only foreign language majors could take it! Grr...<br />
<br />
Okay...I'm not being racist. I really don't hate Asians.<br />
...just the ones at my school who set up this stupid thing so I can't get into the class.<br />
Not all Asians.<br />
Just a select few.<br />
<br />
That be all.<br />
<br />
GIVE MEH YOUR ADDRESSES OR PERISH!!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Sorry for not being around.<br />
Sorry for not commenting.<br />
Sorry for being all-around busy with college and shit.<br />
<br />
Okay, now that's out of the way...<br />
<br />
I hung out with <a href="http://nightsoul1606.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/n/i/nightsoul1606.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="nightsoul1606" /></a>, his girlfriend and her friend yesterday and it was kinda fun. Kinda weird too just because the last time we hung out was over the summer. He got me an Axel model for Christmas. *_* Axeeeeelllll....<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/drool.gif" width="15" height="18" alt=":drool:" title="Drool" /> It did make me feel kinda lonely to hang with them though. Him and his girlfriend were all cuddly and affectionate. At first, it didn't bother me but...yeah. I'm not immune to that sort of thing. It's a weakness. It makes me wish that I had someone here with me to be affectionate with. <br />
<br />
That won't happen though so I try to ignore the loneliness.<br />
<br />
Drawing class...oh mee gee...I had to draw teh horridibible PEN15!!! Yes, we actually had a nude male model and I almost died. Literally died right there. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/tombstone.gif" width="21" height="25" alt=":tombstone:" title="I'll be your huckleberry!" /><br />
<br />
I need to think of an idea for Ashie's contest, but every time I enter...no...one...else..does...T_T<br />
<br />
I have a final critique and a philosophy exam next week. I hope my grades are high enough to keep my scholarship...otherwise I don't know what I'll do. I'm so worried and stressed. At least classes are over now and I'm on vacation for the next few weeks. Yay vacation!<br />
<br />
I MISS EVERYONE!!!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Write down 11 things to different people, but don't tell who its to!<br />
<br />
1. I know there's been a few hard times, but I'm so happy to have you as a friend, unconditionally.<br />
2. Sometimes I don't know what to think about you, but that's never a bad thing!<br />
3. You have something so special that any girl would kill for it. Don't screw it up. You're one of the lucky ones.<br />
4. Your obssessions scare me...O_O;;<br />
5. Honestly, I've never met a person in my life that could pull off a quarter of the things you can. You rock.<br />
6. You're beautiful and one of the most caring, honest people I've met. <br />
7. I have no idea how you can carry through life with that smile always on your face! What's your secret?<br />
8. I tried everything, but nothing seemed to work. I'm sorry for not knowing how to fix things, really I am.<br />
9. Even though things didn't work, I wouldn't trade it for the world.<br />
10. Be careful, I don't want to see you lose what you have. Though if you screw up, I won't hesitate to intervene.<br />
11. You are a strong person. There has to be some way for you to get what you want. Just keep searching for it and maybe...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Every so often, people come into SAU (a building where I hang out most of the time at college) and they sell really cheap movies/CDs/games. For the low prive of $30, I got four new movies and a CD. I like it. ^_^<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been noticing lately that the featured deviations...aren't all that great...<br />
Seriously, I saw one with blatantly obvious proportion flaws and all of the characters in it had flat heads! It was like eyes, bangs...TOP OF HEAD! Right there! Not to mention, I've seen three works by one artist get featured today alone! What's up with that?<br />
<br />
On another note, I have to film some event for class that I cannot direct. all of my previous ideas fell through and I have to be done by Monday. Crap...<br /><br /> ]]></description>
