In the meantime, I tried to turn my life around, and am still in the process.

Hopefully everyone else is having a wonderful time. I am dealing with tiny, tiny explosions, both of creativity, fitness, competency (to my ultimate surprise) and ambition. With no prior warning I found something that, if unchallenged, will become my primary motivation and an extreme source of fun. Also, hopefully, money.

No one actually reads this far, mind you, so if you skipped to the end to see how it turned out, I need some advice on a girl I like re: something for her birthday. I am considering offering to take her out towards a fancified dinner someplace, ...

this is not the sort of thing I usually do.

And so it became eight Christmas's saved, six ruined, and three during which I was celebrating a different holiday altogether.

Thus in those days it came to pass that Oren, who once accidentally bathed in the blood of a virgin while taking a bath in a river two miles downstream from where little Llianril was swimming, was knighted in the squalms* of Canada.

The Protestants were fearful of the soot-blackened knight, and let him ride through carrying a peasant on his elfish shoulder -- really more suited to carry an elegant cloth or something.

The creative juices are flowing, but where will they go?

Manuscript sent to a few more places today. When rejection letters arrive, more story lovin' for all.

Fragments? Not in mine.

a good de/vision song: [link]

Fad Gadget / Frank Tovey: RIP, good buddy. You've been missed and will continue in that state until such time as you return.

1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about their self on their journal.
3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people and post their icons on the same journal.
4. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.
5. No tag-backs

~.~.~~.~.~

1. I am a humongous animation fan. I'll watch anything animated at least once, even if I know it's crap, just to be sure.
2. I have a pseudo-unhealthy relationship with Dr. Pepper. Some days I keep it up 'til all hours of the night with my stories.
3. A friend of mine and I did an extremely good rendition of a scene from Waiting for Godot. This fall we'll be trying to perform the whole show somewhere 'round town.
4. I am extremely finicky about the games I like to play. There is no pattern to my choosiness.
5. I have had many names assigned to me, e.g. Buzz, B-Ry, Tripod, Bud, Bruvvuh B, Buzzkill, and more, but noone's ever called me Doctor Bat or Smoove B (da love man). Nevertheless, I'm still hoping.
6. Lupin III is my all-time favorite comics / animation character. If you haven't seen Castle of Cagliostro, Dead or Alive, or Missed by a Dollar you're definitely missing out.
7. Someday I hope to be able to use my demented brain for something useful.
8. I've played piano for 16 years and organ for 7.


If you read this far, or just skipped to the end to see how it turned out, congratulations. You've got the right stuff and are therefore tagged.

In the meantime, I've got my pre-order for the Collector's Edition in, and my RL guild is preparing to choose servers.

Anyone have an opinion?

Most of it didn't make it here, but: I fully expect another one to two rejection letters before the end of the week. So, in other words, more of Oren's Incomprehensible Adventure to dread! -- er, I mean, look forward too.

Catch y'all on the happenin' side.

Read them, damn you! Read my incomprehensible and demented, grotesque husk-like doppelganger of literature!

And when you're done, tell me what you think.

That's really all I have to say. Carry on.

That means I can begin to torture you with poorly organized 'artwork' ... as soon as I can return to my home.

You can liken the users of computer operating systems to major world religions -- here, I'll give it a shot now.


Linux is like Protestantism -- there are so many distributions of it that are all somehow incompatible with each other and yet supposedly the same...
Macintosh is like Radical Islam -- it's used mainly by artists and graphic designers. Er, wait -- I mean that it's surrounded by a fanatical crowd of rabid people in love with it that sort of take your attention away from the fact that it doesn't work.
Windows is like Catholicism -- it has pretty severe flaws, but it admits to them, and it's compatible with everything else. (except those dirty Mac people.)
and DOS / text-based command lines are atheists. They don't believe in GUI.

peace out, fellow maniacs.

(oh, and feel free to comment or something. I dunno. I'm new here. I was just told there was free pie.) ]]> ~ronnasty
