It's been too long since I said something to the people aboard dA, but you'll like the good news.

I'm a United States Marine now. I'm somewhere in Camp Pendleton, California, doing Marine stuff and training.

I bought myself a laptop so now I should be on a little more often, but it's good to see what's going on again.

Anyway, to make a long story short, my new computer got bad ramz from Newegg. I've already RMA'd it, and I'm waiting for the new stuff, which I expect no later than Wednesday. Hopefully, I'll have a working computer by the end of the week. With Vista.

Other than that, I've been cut off for a long time, missed a lot, I see. Not sure what to do about that X_x;

Anyway, I'm just hoping all goes well, I'm tired of pumping money into this computer and it not working.

I quit my job at Oil Can Henry's. The owner promoted Brian (the guy who threatened to write me up for being safe) to manager, at which point myself and several others promoted themselves to "Not Working There Anymore."

lol, driver's license.

I'm joining the Marines. I'm still gonna visit the people I promised I would. But I'm joining, and that's that.

ALL I HAVE TO DO IS PLAY HALO 2. IT IS LAME AND BORING.

So.. if anybody wants to call me and like.. not let me be bored or something? ;_; Hang out?

I dunno. I'd write more, but my time on this peice of crap is limited, to say the least...

I'm single now.

I've managed to conclude I am neither sick, nor dreaming, deluding, halucinating, or insane. I am just one, now.

I suppose it's from that old saying I heard somewhere, about how after you tell a lie so many times, you end up believing it, whether it's true or not...

Many of you have heard about the wonderous stories I have said about Umi's father. Umi has lied time and time again if only for -us-. I found out today that he finally began to believe it.

I was willing to go all the way. I was totally ready. At whatever cost. I would do it. I threw my life away for it, knowing the costs and consequences. No hesitation. No second thoughts. Ever. Not even now. It was worth it.

What will I do now? I haven't quite decided. I have, however, decided that I am not fit for a permanent relationship for quite some time. I have some growing up to do, and some things I need to take care of with myself, instead of taking care of another.

Does it hurt? Yeah. Not as much as I expected it to, though. But I'm still pretty down about it, don't expect a light response out of me for a few days.

I will survive. This is nowhere near enough to kill me. I didn't know if it would be the same, but I have realized, I've had worse than this. And I will recover again. Where I go next, I'm not sure.

I'm not sad yet. That will probably be tomorrowish, if I know myself at all. Right now, I am still trying to comprehend this all.

What would people say if I enlisted in the Marine Corps, and they accepted me?

I am preparing myself as if I was already accepted. The possibility is there, and I may make it happen. I know some people will say it is tough. I can do it. But perhaps, people should know, so if I do join the military, it won't surprise everybody so much.

Everybody who hasn't will get to see the wonderful picture when it's colored, I'll fave and link it and also post in my LJ.

Couldn't have asked for a better job, Kor. Both Umi and I say thanks. ]]> ~Velen http://Velen.deviantart.com/journal/9558712/ http://Velen.deviantart.com/journal/9558712/ Mon, 31 Jul 2006 20:09:17 PDT

I change oil. If you are in need of an oil change in the Renton area, come to Oil Can Henry's and ask to have Trench Coat change the oil. (Or TC for short. There's already a Ben in the shop, so they call me TC because I wear one. ^^ ) ]]> ~Velen http://Velen.deviantart.com/journal/9079670/ http://Velen.deviantart.com/journal/9079670/ Thu, 15 Jun 2006 17:31:27 PDT
Looks like I'm a "Lube Mechanic" now. 8 bucks an hour, 40 hours a week. I won't argue with 1440 a month. That's better than 32 a month, lemme tell ya. I can't wait to start enacting my evil meet up plans for several special people, and the extra special one for Umi and Jaspenelle. I can't wait.

Turns out that I have tickets to the Unholy Alliance concert, July 14th. That's gonna be hardcore. Slayer, Lamb of God, Mastodon, Thine Eyes Bleed, Children of Bodom.. that's definitely gonna rock. Thank the parents for that one.

Other than that.. Looks like I'm gonna sit here in front of my computer, as always. Doing nothing. At least I'll still get to see Umi online. ]]> ~Velen http://Velen.deviantart.com/journal/8969634/ http://Velen.deviantart.com/journal/8969634/ Sun, 04 Jun 2006 14:44:57 PDT ~Velen http://Velen.deviantart.com/journal/8945150/ http://Velen.deviantart.com/journal/8945150/ Thu, 01 Jun 2006 21:43:50 PDT

(the countdown ends at one, instead of zero. Don't question it!)

Oh, and apparantly I'm subscribed now. For a week. I don't know what I'll do with it. Probably nothing. =\

3!

(ask me on AIM or something if you don't already know. XP ) ]]> ~Velen http://Velen.deviantart.com/journal/8722086/ http://Velen.deviantart.com/journal/8722086/ Tue, 09 May 2006 15:23:23 PDT It was.. interesting. I didn't like it too much, though.

First off, Issaquah High NJROTC is kinda lame. Some of the kids are nice, some are for lack of a better word, asses. But, a lot of nice (and a lot of not-so-nice) people came along, which helped.

Second. Curse the Marine Corps for two seconds, for ditching us on Sunday and delaying our return.

It wasn't that fun. A guided tour of DDG 83, which is an Arleigh Burke class Destroyer by the name of "USS Howard" was pretty much the highlight. Marching there, over 2 miles of NAVBASESDIEGO was not so great. Sun. Burn. >_<

Disneyland. Rides. Space Mountain. Teh pwnage.

Glad to be home, I promptly went out and enjoyed notsogreasy food that didn't give me awful gas. ...Yeah. >.>

We got to see the Marines graduate from MCRD San Diego, which was pretty neat. The DIs can definitely sound off louder than me. @_@ (for those that don't know, I'm one of the louder LHS cadets)

Got to see the survivors of Hell Week at Coronado Naval Special Warfare Training Center. They looked like they were definitely suffering. We also got to handle a few weapons including the PPK, AK-47, M4-203, and other fun things. Yes, they trusted me with an M4 for a few minutes. Damn if I didn't feel awesome holding it.

I definitely missed a certain someone!!! The trip would've been so much more worth it with him. (you know who you are! <3 )

Other than that, school tomorrow. Didn't do my homework, of course. But I attribute that to being marched around all day. Now I'm goin' to bed. I'll probably chat with y'all tomorrow after I figure out how to make my phone stop being compatible with AIM. Midnight is a bad time to message me. >.< ]]> ~Velen http://Velen.deviantart.com/journal/8278582/ http://Velen.deviantart.com/journal/8278582/ Sun, 26 Mar 2006 20:07:26 PST ~Velen http://Velen.deviantart.com/journal/8221588/ http://Velen.deviantart.com/journal/8221588/ Mon, 20 Mar 2006 20:38:49 PST
Anyways. I am garbage when it comes to drawing. I can do simple things such as little anime birdies and maybe a face just fine, but when it comes to other things, I am terrible, and I know it. But, I have noticed, I am slightly skilled at photography. So, instead of just using this to my friends I will actually use this for something. If you actually do see any of my works, please keep in mind it could be anything. It will, however, be nothing until I get a halfway decent camera. It could be anything from a picture of me, to paintball, to a sunset, to a sneaky picture of my Umiloves when least expected. ^_^ However, it will all be mature art in terms of there will be no naughty bits for anyone of that nature who chances upon my gallery.

As for my friends who view this, the people whose art I admire greatly, and anyone who I have commissioned or may commission or already plan to, glad to find yet another venue to bother you senselessly. Have a good day!

As for all the other times, I will do what I normally do. ]]> ~Velen http://Velen.deviantart.com/journal/8116390/ http://Velen.deviantart.com/journal/8116390/ Thu, 09 Mar 2006 20:54:01 PST ~Velen
