Well, today just gets better and better....

It's early release day today, meaning I've been up here since 1... with two of the most loudest, obnoxious little kids ever... one of the little kids, a 6 year old, has a real sour mouth that he likes to use in direction. I've probally given that kid more sittups then I've done in my whole life... and that might just be today. (And before the joke comes, I used to do LOTS of situps, along with the 50-100 sittups I do a day nowadays...)

Now we have one of my dad's friends moving into to our house. There are very good reasons for this, but basically, it's a woman and her two young children. So... when I get off of work dealing with young children, I get to go home and deal with them.

Been child proofing my stuff... but oi... I mean, the good person in me is all for this... but the "I like my time/my privacy/my life" side of me is just going ugh....

Ah well, what can ya do, right?

Updating my journal - AFest
So, last weekend, I traveled to the Kingdom of Dallas with Mint and Levi and adventured in the Epic Level Raid known as AFest. All stupid MMORPG terms aside, the covention was okay. I have to say, at this point, convention events rarely interest me too much... I'm much more interested in hanging out with my friends.

The convention itself, I found to be kinda silly. There is no need for it to be four days. I know that staff and guests in some cases found this better, as the con wasn't as "cluttered" as shorter conventions tend to be... but in all honesty, there was many times when it seemed like NOTHING was going on at AFest, wheras I never saw a point in which I felt there was nothing going on at Ushicon and A-Kon.

Of course, the four day convention thing is almost a standard... I mean, while Ushicon is technically a three day convention, with it's Matsuri, it really comes out to be around four days. But at least with Ushicon, things seem to be planned pretty solidly. I don't know, I don't want to inflate any egos of the Ushi staff (they have enough of an ego as it is... Heheheh) but at least Ushicon seems to have a sort of I dunno... I was never really bored at Ushicon. (Well, last year was a bit silly for me, but the year before strikes me as being just amazing with it's craziness. And I mean that in a good way. Plus, I really liked running Exalted and getting to talk to people. Thus, why I look forward to Linucon.)

Not that the AFest staff didn't try. I think Afest wasn't the most entertaining of conventions... but at least it's staff seemed to be all level headed and cool. Anyone I talked to seem to be good people, I personally didn't have any trouble with security (Then agian, besides A-Kon one year, I've NEVER had trouble with security. Unless of course, I'm trying to make trouble for a security staff... *laughs* Just kidding!)

The guest line up was pretty damn amazing. I have to say, I don't know if I can ever hear Yakusoku wa Iranai ever the same way agian. I mean, the song was originally good, but now that Maaya's gotten older, she's got such a more powerful voice. Her rendition at Afest was truly amazing! Of course, getting to hear Kiseki no Umi was really good. It didn't have the same force of emotion as Yakusoku, but it was still truly wonderful to get to hear the Lodoss - Heroic Knight theme in person.

The thing that truly set the mood for this convention, however, was hanging out with all my friends, old, online, and new! I was trying my hardest to make sure I hung out with every friend I could at AFest. I did this to varying degrees of success. *laughs*

I went on my great journey with Mint and Levi (Anubis on the Ushi BBS), in which our party was later joined by Phlinx. Of course, they had to put up with my singing, and shenanigans. *laughs* I kind of felt bad becuase I stayed with them over Helena and Scortia becuase I was worried I'd hang out with them entirely too much, and thus essentially snub Helena and Scortia and bunch... when instead, it turned out to be the exact oppisite. I had a tendency to hang out with other people, and not them enough. Of course, they do see me nearly every other week... but it didn't help me from feeling a little bad. I wasn't quite as Sugoi as usual. Gomen guys!

Greg, Galena, Josh, Brandy, Chase and JoJo - Heh, I don't hang out with you guys enough, so I figured I'd be a pest this weekend! *laughs* Messing around with Greg's nothing new for me... getting to talk with Galena is always fun. I owe a great deal to the two of them, and even if I don't seem like it, I look up to both of you alot. In my own strange sort of way. *laughs* Josh and Brandy are pretty cool. It's not like I've NEVER talked with them before, but I haven't gotten to talk with them with such depth. Josh Hearn amuses me to no end. I don't know how to describe talking with him. I haven't had that many conversations with him, but he's all cool and such. Brandy is quite fun to talk with, has a D&D collection that truly rivals my own, and is the first person I've seen at a dance from the Ushi Staff. (Which is quite embaressing becuase I don't know how to dance!) Chase, I haven't gotten to know, but near the end of uh... Friday night? He told me about some new Sci Fi books I'm really kind of itching to pick up. Admitadly, most of the military science fiction I've read is Hienlen's work, so I wouldn't mind trying to read some new stuff. JoJo, I think I talked with for a good deal of time. Heh, and he gave me some ramen. It's not that I didn't have anything to eat, just as much that I neglected eating, to answer my upset stomache. Something that didn't work out very well. *laughs* We talk a good deal, and it's cool. I really want to game with him. Along with other folks, of course!

Katie - While on that note, this seuges right into you. *laughs* I'm being told I was percieved as rude with the whole comment on the bells thing. *laughs* Cheer up, you of all people should know I only act like an ass to those I feel comfortable with speaking to! And seriously, I had a headache, and those bells in one's ear can be really annoying! It's a cute look, but take out the hammers in the bells. It'll look cute and Asuna like then, and not be annoying. Of course, you don't have to take my word for it. (Woah, did anyone else see Geordi La'For-- I mean, Levar Burton. Reading Rainbow flashbacks.) *laughs and shrugs* If you want, I can be all awkward and weird around you, but I figured being otherwise would be better. *laughs*

Helena - Man, did you have the most bad ass Mahou Tsukai Tai costume ever! (Raise your hand if you didn't think I was going to make that joke? Anyone? Noone? Good.) As I've told you many times in person, your Hamel costume was every degree of badassery possible. Your Sizer and Rip costumes were cool and all, but I honestly think the work done on Hamel was amazing. Except for the contacts. They were kinda freaky. *laughs* But I guess that adds to the look. *laughs* We actually hung out at a convention! Huzzah! *laughs* I was bound determined to change my habit of just saying hi and speaking in passing with you. It was really fun hanging out with you and everyone at AFest!

Scortia - Which leads into you! We had begun speaking before AFest, but we finally got to meet! (In actuality, I think we spoke a few times before this, as well... Such as your Utena panel and so on...) You have the enthusiam for anime that I have, and that's so incredibly cool! *laughs* And the same ability to want to cosplay so many things that you can't do it all... something I totally understand as well. We got to talk a bit, and it was really fun! Besides, I can't help but love anyone who cosplays Sakura! I can't wait to see you at another con!

Zohra - Uh, I don't know what screennames you like to use yet... and I just kinda got used to calling you Zohra! It was really cool to meet another Sonic Team fan! I almost want to say I spent more time ranting and raving with you then any other person! *laughs* Since meeting you, I've had so many really interesting and intelligent conversations with you! It's really honestly cool to get to talk with you! It was fun hanging out too! *laughs* One of these days we so have to do that Mahou Tsukai Tai cosplay! *laughs* And your artwork is quite good! I want you to know I was really impressed with it! Heh, I'm graced with getting to know such cool artists like you, Gret, and Helena.

James of the Shaggywolfness - On the same note, I got to talk with you a bit more this convention. You seem to be a cool person. *laughs* As an unfortunate sideeffect of hanging out with you and your friends, I've picked up the bad habit of playing Yu-Gi-Oh agian. *sighs and shrugs* Inevitably money I shouldn't be spending on crazy stuff... but eh, it's my love... *laughs*

VIIIICCCEEEEE - We actually got to talk for once and even game! I really want to spend more time hanging out with you at a con! To anyone who doesn't know, Justin's been a long friend of mine since like... gosh, four or five years ago when he was cosplay... well, Vice! *laughs* Getting to actually talk with you at a convention was fun, and play CVS 2... even though as soon as I saw Bison, I was like... "Crrraappp." *laughs* I should get Live agian. I'm suspecting the 360 will inspire Live to be reborn for me agian. Until then, I need to sharpen my skillz for a rematch! *laughs*

Katy - It was really cool to meet you. Of course, I'm a fan of any person that would cosplay SNK characters! More then just a good looking Kyo (*sighs* Better looking then my own Kyo! *sighs dramatically* ) you were really fun to talk with! I really hope you can make it out to Ushicon! *laughs* I wish I had more to say, but yeah!

Cosmic - Jeff! It was really damn good to see you agian! So good I had to add damn to that last sentence! *laughs* I really kind of miss talking with you! We chatted a few times, but I wouldn't mind actually talking with you some more! *laughs* One of these cons, Jeff!

Drew - All joking aside Drew, it was really good to see you. It's really been a long while since I've seen you. *laughs* I really wouldn't mind getting to talk with you a bit more, heh, it's been so long! And that job offer is pretty tempting. I might have to get in touch with you about it. Although the concept of you as a Secruity head still fills me with some degree of worry. Who puts a cute girl in charge of security. Mwahahahahahahahahah! (Yeah, come on... we all knew I'd have to put the words cute and Drew together at least once. At least I started pretty serious, right? )

Bam2 - Greg! It was really cool getting to actually talk and hang out with you! Ghost Stories, with everything you told me, sounds to be really cool! I'll have to check it out! The dance was bad ass! I had the most fun at your dance!

PJade - Man, I totally apologize for not getting to talk with you more then in passing. In all honesty, I was trying to make sure I'd cover all my friends, but as said, I couldn't help it in some areas. For that I totally apologize! I'll try to make sure I get more time in to talk with you next convention!

Tabby - Drinking is bad! You shouldn't drink! *falls over laughing* Good to see you agian! And uh... yeah!

Tala - And I so have to give special thanks to Tala! She gave me the pass that I used through the convention! If it wasn't for her, I may not have even gone! I really have to thank you alot, Tala! You're a good friend, and I hope I didn't bother you too much when I decided to start drinking while you were sleeping. (I'm not too loud of a drinking type person... unless I'm trying to talk with someone when they are watching a movie... poor Helena...)

In conclusion, AFest was many degrees of badassery! The folks running that Serenity T-Shirt shop were really cool! I hope they are at Linucon, and I can buy one of their shirts! The concert was cool, I only drank one night, and it wasn't too bad!

Anyhoo, I'll put up another rant later on tonight! Just sort of copying and pasting from my Livejournal right now! Anyhoo! Ciao, folks!

PS: We'll see if I'm at Main Event tonight. Kind of depends on if I'm watching Final Fantasy VII: Advent Childern tonight or not with a friend! We'll see how it goes!

Agian, ciao folks!

Had a dream that kept coming back?Yeah, my mind doesn't let go of things. *laughs*
Beliefs
Belive in life on other planets?It's mathmatically more probable that if life exists on Earth, that it exists elsewhere, then it is improbable. Besides, we're finding organic compounds in space all the time.
Miracles?If I believe in magic, I might as well believe in miracles, I mean... how would you draw the line between the two?
Astrology?Even if we believe we understand the universe, there are always more mysterious out there... perhaps something in the stars really does guide fate? Who knows?
Magic?Why not? There is much about the universe we don't understand. Magic could be a viable way of looking at it. I know I believe in some form of magic.
God?Not in the traditional sense, but I don't rule it out either.
Satan?Not in the traditional sense, but I don't rule it out either. I don't rule out Greek, Roman, or any other religion completely either.
Santa?Well, once there was a Saint Nick..... the question is, does he have hot elf chicks?
Ghosts?I've seen enough to think they exist, but as to what they are, I couldn't tell you...
Luck?Luck is in everything, it's how you or other effect it, that makes me curious.
Love at first sight?Why not? When a person looks at another, it's more then just skin deep. People look into others eyes to try and get a first understanding. And sometimes, can fall right there.
Yin and yang (that good cant exist w/o bad)?Yin and Yange is more then good and evil, but since the world works on opposites that attract, doesn't it make sense then that Yin and Yang most likely exists in some form?
Witches?I know many witches, and talk with them. If I believe in magic of some form, why am I gonna discount their own magic? Heck, I almost wanted to train with some!
Easter bunny?I like bunnies, but no bunny I ever owned gave me easter eggs.
Believe its possible to remain faithful forever?Why not? It's just a matter of will.
Believe theres a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow?I've never been to the end of a rainbow, I couldn't tell you.
Do you wish on stars?You know, maybe I should try that some day. Wouldn't hurt, right?
Deep Theological Questions
Do you believe in the traditional view of Heaven and Hell?No, but then, I don't rule it out either. I think there is more depth to the universe then that.
Do you think God has a gender?Not really, raising an interesting question. Originally, many though of God as a Goddess, now we see it as Him. In a divine order, which would come first, the egg or the sperm
Do you believe in organized religion?It's a helpful tool for people to get an understand of their universe physically and spirtually. I don't follow it per se, but don't discourage others.
Where do you think we go when we die?Boy, if I knew that, that'd be awesome! Wouldn't need to question that.
Friends
Do you have any gay/lesbian friends?Quite a many!
Who is your best friend?Mint, followed closely by Levi and Mark.
Who's the one person that knows most about you?Most know a great deal about me, but the aforementioned three would know the MOST.

Sing, my Emulator, sing the song of writing!
I've recaptured my ability to write. My long strained writer's block finally came to an end as I finished both the first chapter for my Macross II fan fiction and my new Skylar story. Some people might have said my muse came to visit me, personally, I think it was my Emulator! (Hahaha... get it... Macross II joke? Yeah, not funny, right? Oh well...)

Muse or not, my writing is back in buisness! All is right in the world!

Speaking of worlds...

World of Warcraft time! Laters everyone!

It's not the end of the world as we know it...
Today folks, a very annoyed James has decided to focus today on the end of the world, or lack therof.

You see, I notice that many of you have a tendency to believe that when you have problems in your life, that this is the end of the world.

When in fact, it really isn't, you see, the world goes on for the rest of us. This cannot be helped. Unless you're like Sephiroth, the likely hood that you will end the world becuase you're life turned sour is pretty unlikely. (Hell, Sephiorth didn't even manage to do it.)

A huge old asteroid smacking into the Earth's surface, engulfing it in destructive fire, that's the end of the world. A nuclear war tearing apart the nations in nuclear fires... that's the end of the world. The Biblical Apocalypse, that's the end of the world.

One's lack of a love life, parents being bitchy, not having a job, going back to school, all of these such things... are not the end of the world. At most, they are a setback in your life.

Life will constanly be filled with setbacks. A truth of reality as we so far know it is, everyone cannot get their way. If they could, this world wouldn't work very well, nay? If I wanted a person to myself, and you wanted a person to yourself, and it was the same person... someone would be screwed over. Or our soceity would be much different... one of the two.

The point is, a fact of life is that we will all be set back. How you deal with those set backs, determines how much you enjoy your life.

Folks, it's not very attractive when every time one speaks with you, you are telling us the same second verse, same as the first... it is going to get frustrating. Why? Becuase we all have our own problems... it's not that we don't care about your problem, but we have to deal with our own as well.

And if there is something I do not tolerate, it's people who say they should just kill themselves now. Even in joking. I do not tolerate suicide in any form... it's more often then not a cry for attention that I will not tolerate. Playing with the feelings of your friends in this fashion is inhumane and is the worst kind of cry for attention.

Now, I'm not pointing this at any certain direction, (Including you, you know who you are...), however, it's a trend I see too much, and I'm really going to start tolerating it less and less. I figured if I could be a nice guy, in my fashion, that perhaps it wouldn't come up as much... perhaps I could help, but at this point, while any and everyone has my condolensces, and I am worried about all of you... I won't put up with this kind of crap anymore.

Uh, beyond that, I love all of you as my friends... and I hope I don't offend anyone too much... but I just generally have no tolerance for that sort of stuff at this point. Thanks everyone, and a good day!

A song of storm and fire...
Heh! In case you haven't heard... we pwned Episode 1, we're onto Episode 2! Episode 2 has cool stuff, I know it does... but boy does this whole VR Temple stuff suck. I found it vaugely annoying in the GC/Xbox version... but on the PC version... it's annoying becuase of the quests you have to do... I swear, I think we have to play in the damn VR Temple for five quests, and we're most likely gonna have to do five quests in the VR Spaceship.

On things besides Phantasy Star, uh... hell yeah! Got Levi into the greatness that is the King of Fighters! I love sharing the bad assness that is KoF! Heh, I'm nearly one of the biggest KoF fans around... so yeah... *laughs* I cannot stress how much fun it is getting competition. (And I honestly mean that one, Levi caught on fast, and can play pretty damn good agianst me, kicked my ass a few times, just as I kicked his... *laughs* )

Looks like we'll be playing Shadowrun very soon! Very cool indeed! I love the game quite a bit, it's a cyberpunk fantasy, if that makes any sort of sense... some crazy shit indeed. It's really alot of fun! *laughs*

Hmmmm... and uh... I'm kinda waiting for summer to come to an end, I kinda want to get back into the more relaxed schedule... but probally gonna look at getting a new job soon. I don't get paid enough for the hours I work here... (But then, most jobs usually don't pay you my kind of salary for playing PSO portions of the day, ne?)

I really need to get a vehicle... I need to start focusing myself a bit more on the funding account. Didn't help that I splurged this weekend. *laughs* I really need to watch myself more... especially since I have Afest coming up, a Rock Howard jacket to order, and all that jazz! And my vehicle! *laughs* I still wanna get a Motorcycle... I'm really thinking I might just get it. I mean, for what I do... it wouldn't be bad. *laughs* I'll never have a killer commute... especially if I keep working with my dad... and it'd be so much fun! It'd be like Kamen Rider! (Put that comment in there just for you, buddy!)

Uhhhh... and yeah. Just my musings. I guess I don't have too much pertinent important things to say. Really ought to get home.

*laughs*

Good night everyone! Hope ya have sweet dreams!

Ciao!

Pwning!
Heh, so Levi, Mint and I spent most of this weekend pwning Phantasy Star, and sometimes getting pwned in PSO. *laughs* The timed missions are really hard when you're trying to do a game with like a pair... I think the timed quests were kind of a bad idea, but that's just me...

We are on the ruins, however, and nearing the end of Episode 1. *laughs* Then we move onto Episode 2!

All this PSO makes me sorta wanna get Episode 3 for the Gamecube so that we can play the game agianst each other. *laughs* Hehehe, we can actually do tag team card battles agianst each other. *laughs* And boy, if Team Sugoi will pwn a game... I'd imagine a card based PSO would be right up our alley, ne?

I'm gonna start praciting Martial Arts, I've decided. *laughs* I might as well, since I'm getting paid and I'm around... and besides, since I have a tendency to cosplay martial artist characters... I guess knowing some martial arts wouldn't be bad.

Uh, cosplaying Rock Lee and Rock Howard very soon! Unfortunatly, I do believe I'm gonna drop Shuichi. I know some folks might have been looking forward to that, but yeah... *laughs* I think that might have to wait... *laughs*

Heh, kinda getting the urge to do SNK characters agian... plus Rock Lee, who's way too cool... and I will admit that I have an urge to cosplay someone from either Tsubasa or XXXholic. (Heh, Watanuki with the Chi ears headphones...)

Heh, got the Tsubasa Chronicles soundtrack. VERY good music, indeed. HIGHLY recomended.

Time for a little bit of PSO, me thinks!

Laters, everyone!

Heh, did some new work on my journal, going for a PSO theme... might try and make a new avatar picture thing to go with the PSO theme.

It's not like I'm obsessed with the game right now or anything, you know.
