Sycophant

Our roommate bought a new massive LED and a PS3. I must say, the new rendered version of Shadow of the Colossus looks pretty sweet. It's like we have an actual living room now instead of just another room with a glowy rig.

Speaking of computers, my old one is still here. Everything's just gonna get wrapped up. He has until the end of the week and if he keeps putting me off, I'm just gonna sell it to someone else.

Devon and I went to Little Tokyo yesterday. It was great, as usual! We talked about a lot of things. It feels good to talk sometimes. About things that affected me. See, I bottle. I don't mind it much because I rather just listen and observe. But it just was nice, for a change. She had a lot of feedback, which I took in and could really appreciate. Something that I take pride in is my ability to keep myself grounded as much as possible. However... she displayed that I am still very much susceptible to receiving that from the right people. I kow tow to her for grounding me. She took my ass and ROOTED it like a boss. Just kidding, she just reaffirmed what I was already thinking, but it sounded better coming from her.

They had these all over the place right outside the Museum. It was amazing. I wonder what they're gonna be showing soon. 

So good.

:3

Of course we had Ramen! Finally got a damn parasol. We both did! It was HORRIBLE out. It felt like in the upper 90s, and the sun was frying us. We had no choice. Not to mention that there were little Asian ladies walking around everywhere with cute little parasols so I mean WHY NOT. Best idea ever tyvm. And they were cheaper than what I found on Ebay. pshyeah.
They're so cute. Now I can go to ALL OF THE PLACES out in ALL OF THE SUNS and nothing can stop me! Actually, my anxiety can stop me. It can stop me pretty fucking quick. And losing my parking spot. That's also a Cynth Adventures killer. And the heat. And also the people walking around. Also all the horrifyingly bad drivers. And being away from my computer.

Okay so maybe just kidding. Regardless, in the event that I am forced to go out into the sun via guilt or obligation, I am equipped appropriately.

MOVING ON--

I have this character sheet I need to work on. Rot wants to start a campaign with Josh and me. Not sure how much fun it'll be with just 2 people, but I'm optimistic. As long as there are a lot of snack items, I'm optimistic.

There's something at work that may or may not be good... or icky. I mean it's good to a normal person. I don't know. I don't even know.
Oh. Funny story;
Remember how I wrote about a co-worker that completely lost her shit at me to where I thought she was coming at me to punch me in the face? Well... yesterday she threw something so hard out of anger over a note the manager left her that she broke one of our tables.

I mean... I'M WEIRD. But that's... that's something else. I don't... I don't know. I don't even know.
I'd be lying if I said that didn't make me feel some kind of relief though... considering how much nonsense she made up about what happened. If this isn't sobering, I don't know what is!

My face looks less puffy. I look older. Or maybe it's the shadow. I took this last night before bedtime. I like when my eyes look red and puffy. That shirt is so comfy. I look serious. SO SRS.



Team Cool is scheduled to return to Little Tokyo on Friday. I was scheduled to work, but thankfully got my shift covered.

Thursday evening some of my coworkers wanna get together to go to some Dim Sum place in Glendale.
Thankfully... we'll get paid Friday, so I'm not that stressed over it like I normally would be.

Also, I've been able to become a little more social lately. It's nice. Kind of. Social but at like 4 in the morning. Hidden in the night times. Insomnia with friends makes insomnia more tolerable. Especially after making them watch Three Extremes on Netflix.


In spite of the image, Cynth is all smiles lately. :3

Level 40 reached last night!
10 more levels until I can explore the island they added in the 1.4 patch. I could've gone on my other level 50 that I have on the Guardians side, but felt it would be more special if it was explored on this toon. I can't wait!

I hope Rot makes us dinner when he gets home. Mmm'ungry! ^-^

Re-install

Oh man!
She writes again!

Lace is my favorite. 

Laced with tentacles.

Squee ^-^

What can I say, I've been distracted. I finally got in my new monitor, which means that I was able to get my old computer all set up to sell. Immediately I thought of someone who could really benefit from it. It was supposed to be out the door today, but to my eency, teency, tiny surprise, that didn't happen. :) 

There is a current problem that I am faced with, however. I am down to only two candles that can still burn. WHAT AM I GONNA DO? It's awful. I have to get more. That means... venturing out into the feral populace that North Hollywood breeds. And then pass it to go to the mall. Drag someone out with me is my only hope for survival. Candles. They are important to me. 

My work has a new manager. I don't know how I feel about her just yet. She's made a couple mistakes, which I've put behind me. Others don't seem to vibe too well with her new ways. It's completely understandable. Time will tell how everything plays out. This brought me to say that despite her changes to our work place, she is a total goth music lover. She was playing Depeche Mode, The Cure, and The Smiths on her phone all morning today. My jaw hasn't dropped that hard since I found out that Netflix started streaming seasons of Spongebob Squarepants. So there's a little bit of bias from my part, now that I know she digs fucking Depeche Mode. I bet she does a mean Molly Ringwald on the dance floor.

Anyway, today was gkdlafjskj. The boss has been giving me more hours of work, which have taxed my shoulder. The muscles in my back and my rotator cuff are making their disapproval known again. I had to take it easy today. Once I got home, I took a cold shower and played some Rift. Relaxy times ^-^

You know what feels really good?

When you come back to turn in like 5000 quests, just waiting for you with experience points and loot. mmmph!

Look at her crotch. It's sticking out of her 'armor'... Way to go, devs. Way to go.

Aww... she's so cuuuute!

This Friday I think that Devon is gonna try to make Little Tokyo happen. She's unsure still because she's waiting to hear back from someone. I hope it works out. I'd really like to go again. FCKING LOVE LITTLE TOKYO.
And and and and and and and also another co-worker of mine (whom I went to Disneyland with) has coupons for a visit to Medieval Times!!! We have to schedule something soon because they expire at the end of this month. I've wanted to go there for as long as I can remember, but Rot is just a big doodoo head and never made time for it. We're still planning things out and thinking of who to invite. It's delicate. See, MT cannot be soiled by too much mockery. We can make fun of the event in jest, but genuine nerd bashing is a no no. Only those who can appreciate the total dorkdom of jousting, feasts, roleplaying, and knights sword fighting to the death are prioritized. IT'S KINDA VIP.

One more day of work and I finally get a day off. Ooooof my shoulder is so sore. I can't wait...
I also can't wait to get rid of this computer so I can get back to my charms! It's taking up room at my craftsies station!

I'd move it if I had another power strip to plug it into. It was fun trying to find all the parts for this. Who knew I had 3 other mouse(s?) and two other keyboards just laying around? I DIDN'T. I'm gonna miss this comp. We had a lot of good times together. I played WoW on this comp when it first launched. It's been good to me. I can only hope it's next owner will be just as good to it.

It almost hurt when I wiped the hard drive completely for the OS re-install. I found some old pictures and videos on it that I had forgotten were there. OH WELL.
That's what memories are good for.

Ugh, I really hope we can go to Little Tokyo.

Drank

Let's see.

MY NEW MONITOR'S GETTING HERE ON WEDNESDAY I think.  Stoked. A lot. I can finally get rid of this 19 inch with my old computer. I have to set it up and wipe the hard drive clean, check the specs and give it a good shower. Someone at work is gonna buy it all. Keyboard + mouse, monitor, everything. I haven't decided how much I'm going to sell it for but this much is certain-- supply and demand.

Friday lived up to my expectations. Little Tokyo didn't happen.
 This is how it works basically:

Social experiment + 0 expectations = Of course you would do that

I figured that would happen, and it did! This gave me time to make a gift ^-^
I wish I had taken a picture of it. It was a cute little taco charm- for a co-worker. When we worked late, we would all go get tacos together to this place he loves at like 1:30 in the morning and hang out til 2. Delicious. They were the real tacos, too. The ones with the little tortillas and the meat with the fresh cilantro and lime on top ALL FRESH AND SHIT RIGHT OFF THE STAND. MMMPF.

Yeah. Taco.

I went to a co-worker's birthday party thing that night at a fancy shmancy hotel in West L.A. I don't even know what that means. It was fun. Carpooled with some people who live around the corner. I got drunky. Actually, I wasn't that drunk, just super dizzy and my tummy felt topsy turvy. It was completely different than that other time I got drunk with co-workers. HAHAH awww that's not funny. :(
Only a few people know about that. Including Rotny. loooooooooooooooooooool.

Oh, I made these.

 Are you alive? Cute, I know. I KNOW.

One of them is a commission, one's mine. MWAHAHAH
The cuttle fish is mine also. 
I don't think it will ever really sink in how great it feels to have people like your creations enough to buy them. I guess it's sort of similar if you have a daughter, and she's really hot and becomes a legit porn star. You can feel sort of good knowing your genetics were decent. Right? Is that.... no? okay.

Back to party thing. Yeah, I don't do parties much. Like ever. The typical dressy occasion for me is a night out at some goth club hoping I don't run into anyone lying through their teeth. It's SO obvious. Entertaining though. And that's my party time.

This was like... normal party. It was nice. Sort of uncomfortable and awkward at first because it was my first time.. heh... and I sort of stuck out like a sore thumb but being around my co-workers make it less weird. I did however wanna punch the bartender in the face. When did eye-fucking become an acceptable thing? Is this a thing now? So blatantly leer and smirk the fuck out of someone in such a suggestive manner like... just.. I don't know. I thought it was rude. Whatevs. Maybe it's just me, but I don't like giving perverts the satisfaction of even engaging eye contact with me.

ugh.

It was fun!
So I got dranky dranky and we all ended up sleeping at my co-worker's place. BUT NOT BEFORE TACO BELL OMGHAD. mmmmmmmmmmm
When we got there I was almost out immediately. They have a super comfy couch ^-^
DnD and I both worked the next morning. Surprisingly, I woke up an hour earlier than what my alarm was set at. When I woke up again I split. Everyone else was out cold. I almost tripped over Tanya. If I had, I would've landed on my head and it would've been really fucking funny. I should've. Good times. I hope they have me over again. They better, they're down the fucking street.

boobs.

Of course, when I drink, I HAVE to cornrow someone's hair. It's beyond my control.

Awww yea.

Also, I think Little Tokyo breakfast club is dead.

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

Decisions

Biggest nap ever. I kept having awesome dreams.
Crappy morning though.
Just kidding, it started out fine.
Then later on, out of the blue, my stomach started hurting and gradually became worse. The funny thing is I wanted to stay later today so I could have more hours. Not so much anymore =\
DnD was nice enough to let me go home early. I showered, ate some pita, and passed out.
It is now 6:13 P.M.

FRIDAY.
LT again. I feel like there's a Breakfast Club thing going on.

I'm not sure if it's gonna be all of us again, but 2 down. 1 to convince. I'd like to go earlier on in the day so that I have most of the evening to myself. -- Not that they stay open after 7pm or whatever anyway, but yeah. SUSHI!! Only the girls get kitty ears.

Portal 2 is so fun.
I wish we could all just start playing an MMO together. That's selfish of me, but it's not often you find such diverse people with the stuff that we have in common... in common.
That reminds me, my Paypal account was locked because I tried to access it from my phone-- weeks ago. Today, my Rift subscription payment was declined, lol. Now I have to call them and tell them to fucking relax. FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS.

Also, now that September isn't gonna happen, that means that I can probably get myself another monitor. I have two already, but... one of them is a 19 inch. FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS.
Which reminds me... I may have a computer for sale. I have my old one just hanging out here, taking up space. Maybe once I get my new monitor, I can sell that and the 19 inch together.
I used to play WoW on that computer. ... before IT WENT TO SHIT. Wow, not the computer. That pc runs fine. I just wanted a hxc gaming rig.

Rant:
It's extremely annoying to try to work with clay when the air conditioning is on constantly. Wanna know why? It hardens the clay, thus making it extremely difficult to work with. I still have to bake it, but conditioning it (warming it up, making it workable and squishy again) is hell.

My other option is having the hallway smell like man.

I took this yesterday. I was in an inexplicable mood. Probably because I never imagined Hilary Duff in the way that she's portrayed in Gossip Girl. It hit me right in the childhood. Hurt. What would Shawn Ashmore think? Cadet Kelly all in 3somes and shit. I should ask him when he comes in again. He'd probably look at me like I'm insane...

HAY SHAWN, HERE'S YOUR DRINK SO HILARY DUFF WAS IN A 3SOME IN GOSSIP GIRL DID YOU KNOW THIS FIX IT k see ya tomorrow! ^-^
He's really nice. I told him once that he was one of my fav animorphs, and he seemed surprised that I remembered that show existed.
HULLO, HOW COULD YOU NOT?
Ax was a blue centaur alien guy. VHAT. are you kidding me?!
I should've said told him that, but that would've been weird...

Here's a screenshot of Chemosh playing with a kitten for your viewing pleasure.

Time to make dinner :D

Friday

"You know why that guy killed those people at the movie theater? ... Because of Gossip Girl."

- Rotny

We went back to Little Tokyo. Turns out that we all made it there together instead of meeting up later. Yays.
First place we went to was Mr. Ramen. We're thinking next time's visit may involve some sushi. :D
I wish I was in a better mood, but my brain is mushy. It jeopardizes my reason, so I refrain from making any sudden decisions or saying much of anything when I know that I'm... not working properly. It's for the best, lol.

No but really, Little Tokyo is awesome. I can't wait to go back. I'll probably just end up making that a weekly thing now, even if it's by myself. It doesn't take much to go there, especially taking the metro. I won't write much more about it. Just that I am looking forward to our next exclusive visit.

She got a haircut :3 It's cuuuute

Frozen yogurtuuuuu

 :)

Rage has a new friend. It was a little unnverving how much self-harm is glorified in this toy.

The little unicorn is covered in razors, skulls, and a band aid on it's face. Is self-harm a thing these days? 

Volume 3! 

I also got 4 and 5. We had to do a little searching because the first place didn't have 4.

Mwahaha! It's good. I really like it. I didn't get this far in the anime.

In regards to a visit earlier this week, I have taken initiative to get myself prepared for stuff. Allow me to clarify;

It's serious. Even if it never happens, I will still find a way to make it happen even if I end up downtown surrounded by strangers. Just kidding. I'd die before I did that, but I'm sure it would make Rotny happy. :)
We have the complete 4th edition set. Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's book, and the Monster Manual. Now that I have something to look forward to, it'll give me more motivation to actually finish reading them instead of skimming through them.
IT'S SERIOUS.

NPC... but still fascinating ^-^ 

I hope to one day encounter one!

I haven't decided what I wanna be yet. It's difficult with this because if I chose with what I truly, truly want... it'd make things difficult. EVERYONE hates Drow. 

Even other denizens of the Underdark. Drow are dangerous. Kill on Sight rules apply towards them within other societies and races. So it's like ehhhhh.... but ghad that'd make for an interesting campaign either way. I'd wear sweet sunglasses. Or invent them. The sun would be ouchies on my eyes :(

k I'm done now.

Human

I've decided that I'm going to go back to school.
It's just a matter of being able to get the balls to call the financial aid office and drive my ass down there without throwing up and going into a nervous conniption.
The school is 45 minutes from here. It's... scary. To say the least. 2 years at most. Ugh. UGH. ugh god. classrooms. ghdajfs UGGGHHHHH GROSS WHY

Aside from finally deciding this horrifying path in my life, I was pleasantly surprised yesterday at work. I'm really good at containing myself.

A shyness that is criminally vulgar.

Tomorrow.
This entire weekend actually will be great. I hope.
UGH, COLLEGE. GROSS.

Steam had this crazy sale a few days ago. I couldn't help myself and got Limbo as well as Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. The whole pause and plan thing is wonky... Neverwinter Nights is that way too... but I will give it a try anyway. Those two together were 5 dorrar and some change. win

I finished my first set.

I wanted to make another Mind Flayer but my fingers were sore.
There's a shop in Burbank that I wanna go to in regards to yesterday's visit.
I also need to get a sewing machine.

Needles is whack.
And I gave my little girl a shower. She's purring quietly again. Ew, those empty RAM slots are grossing me out.

Being an adult is stupid, lol.
