Something stupid

   Even though I'm not constantly working on what society considers a tangible accomplishment or even just productive, I couldn't imagine just sitting in my room all day and doing absolutely nothing. Not even working. Just constant nothingness but looking at websites and living vicariously through them. And I do that a lot. I'd die without my computer. And I don't go out. Which is pathetic all by itself, but I'm supporting my pathetic self, so at least I can say that, lol. I dunno. I saw an image the other night and it made me think. Despite my bitching about having to work, I'm thankful I do.

That guy is awesome. I hope to accomplish this some day.

Moving on!

 I have two cakepops. mmmm. I had 3, but I ate one. I also had a cheesecake brownie. I don't normally like brownies, or chocolate anything, but I was PMSing, so.

Op.. now I have one.

...

...

and now I have... 3/4 of one :)


Aren't they cute? They're my favorite. Honestly I think all the other cake pops taste too... too much. They're quite rich. I suppose that compensates for their size.

So I think I finally saved up enough money to buy a new video card. I'm thinking of stopping by Fry's on Friday after work. I'd get it on Newegg but the shipping + tax is a bitch. And if Fry's has it then boom.Which, if I remember correctly, they did have the one I had my eye on, but that was months ago. I'm wondering if something better is out.

I'm writing this entry while listening to "The Garden Meeting" by John Williams for the Memoirs of a Geisha movie. Is that weird?

So a few days ago when I got home from work I saw some packages at my door. Not my front door, but like.. my bedroom door.

...Did the mail carrier come into.. my apartment? I'm so scared..
It was probably Josh.
I had already guessed what one of the packages were, but saw that cardboard one and was like wtf is that? Looked at the sender address and was like wtf is this? Amazon.
I'm really smart, so I immediately knew.
Still though, the gesture was incredibly generous and it humbled the fuck out of me. I don't want anyone to think that they have to get me gifts for anything, as I am a chick who has come to appreciate intangible gaieties and vices more than material things; ironically through a very expensive material thing.
 It was a gift from my friend, Ponies.

 Unbelievable. These were some of the things that I had kept my eye on on my imaginary shopping list. I couldn't believe it, but I was very delighted. The most exciting thing was working with Fimo clay, to see how well I could work with it. It's a more expensive brand, but a lot of people really, really like it and prefer it over Sculpey III, and so I had to try it. And I did. It's AMAZING. Way more workable! I finished charms in less time because I wasn't sitting there conditioning it for 10 minutes for every new color I needed.
The tool set is awesome. I've already worked with it and I'm in love with it. It's way better than the other shit I picked up at Michael's, lol. Actually, I'm lying. I have different tools with different heads for different purposes. But this one is easier to use because of the handle and how lightweight it is, but the heads are well made and sturdy. They stay in the wand using a magnet and come with a little stand for the different heads. Super nice.

Look at all these awesome caution translations. I love it.
Look at the Swedish (I think?) one, and then look at all the others. It's horrifying.
ACHTUNG!  --- that's like the sound one makes when they sneeze. Wtf is that, is that German?

And the extruder I've used once so far. Takes a bit to get used to, but I'm sure I'll end up using it way more. I'll never have to roll out little, thin snakes ever again! haha

The clay has to be rather soft in order to use this tool. With sculpey that may be a bit of a challenge, but it's progress.

And what was in the other package?

My mailers. boring.

Wanna see something really stupid?

Not this. These are cute though. I wanted to put SBUX logos on them buuuuut then thought about... how like if I sell them with the logo I could literally get sued. So I did this as an alternative. That frappucceeni to the left has extra caramel... just how the latinos always order it.

"Is that Conan O'Brien?"
The answer is yes. Yes it is.
Believe it or not, it's a commission piece. I had no idea how to even approach this to be completely honest. However I'm happy with the final results considering how a couple people have already just taken one look at it and asked that exact question. Btw this isn't the stupid thing.


This is:

It's Chibi Conan O'Brien on the red carpet at the Post-it Awards!

okay bye.

Short

  
    I'm sitting here while dinner cooks on the stove. Our place smells like... only something I can conjure! It's delicious. If I could afford to make a huge feast of nothing but my cooking and bring it to people and watch them melt, I would. Even if they didn't eat it, the smell would intoxicate them.

The request-off calendar from my work.

The boss lady blocked it off. My plans aren't ruined, we're doing something. However it looks like other people were a little surprised. I don't know why that's funny to me.

The only way to make this funnier was to be a troll. I think that pretty much applies to everything, though.

The mail fairy was generous today. The best thing about ordering things online is that it's somewhat like window shopping, and there are times where I'll forget I actually bought something... so when the package comes in the mail it's quite delightful.
Sorry for the lack of pictures this post. So here's one of me being short.

I worked today, and did a few errands afterwards. Came home, did some stuff and business talk with Rot, took a nap, woke up, made dinner aaaaaaaaaand now thinking..

Wondercon is approaching (not even close) and and and... ugh. God, you guise don't even know how stoked I am for this. And of COURSE Harley's Joker is going to be there! I can't wait to see him again. Bet everyone in the world $5 he'll recognize and remember me. BECAUSE I LOVE HIM. jk.. If he was taller I'd just... I don't even know what I'd do. I'd probably die. I'll try to take video footage while I'm there this time.

Okay so I'm watching House, season two, the episode where they're treating a 9 year old girl with cancer, but it's not cancer related. And there's this part where she's in this room with Chase, and she's like booo I'm never gonna kiss a boy... hint hint. And Chase is like lol yea huuuuh! And she's like yeah right... can you kiss me? AND HE DOES!! He tries to talk her out of it for a little but she guilt trips him and he kisses her and omg. It's my favorite episode. Is that weird?

Now that I know my grocery store sells stamps... my life has changed entirely. I think I'm gonna go eat more and visit LoTRO.

Negative Nancy

The older I become the less I want to be treated like an adult. I don't wanna :(
I did an adult thing that I'm still nervous over; I invested in my own Etsy shop thing. It's gonna be legit and I'm going to push for it to be a secondary source of income so that one day I won't have to work so much! Hah! And maybe go back to school.

I bought a bunch of shipping things like bags and mailers, and even had business cards made. Of course I had to fuck that up by having a typo in it. Thankfully the company credited me back the price of bundles I got, so I was able to reorder another batch. The yucky ones came in today. They're really cute. I think they suit me well.
I feel so stupid for fucking that up.  What a waste.
Also I discovered that my grocery store sells stamps! Of course, just my luck, I go there last night and they tell me a woman had bought all of them already. I couldn't tell you how surprised I was.

The good thing is... I'm doing this. I just hope I don't freak out from pressure and quit.

More people from work requested some charms.
I think I feel pressured because theirs are all commission pieces. They're not pieces that I've already made, so I don't know how it'll turn out or anything, and I end up over-doing it and making a product I feel is worth more than what I told them because I was afraid to let them down. I don't know if that makes sense or not.
My style is not consistent at all. Some are rather simple. Some are more elaborate. Some are extremely detailed. I can't seem to stick to one style, which is cool in a way but at the same time can be tiresome. Not knowing how to approach a project can be intimidating.

Speaking of... I have some more pieces I need to finish, but since Rot has the flu I haven't been able to do anything. These were my two days off this week which were spent in darkness and mostly on my phone just playing Happy Street. That wasn't even enjoyable because the developers implemented this new update to change how you upgrade things in the game, and everyone is raging over it.

"we are biting the bullet and we are going to change the cost of the expands of the main street in coins. There are multiple reasons for this change:
1/ Some players are giving up the game in the early levels because they feel pressured to buy flooz and feel like they have to pay to progress.
2/ Having to pay the expand in flooz slows the progression especially in the later levels where expands have a much higher price"

basically stupid people with ADD were like omg I can't play this game durr change it
and they fucking ruined it for everyone else.
I've purchased flooz ONCE. Every other flooz and expanding and buying premium shit and stuff in the game I EARNED, just like a lot of other people. So they got rid of the flooz to the point where you're kinda fucked and can't get premium shit anymore, but you can expand your land with coins!

 Sorry. Yeah. So... Rot is sick. My computer is in our room so I couldn't use it much. When I was in my room it's dark, and I need my computer for referencing when I make commission pieces so... that was automatically a no. So my last two days off were pretty much shitty. At least this time it's because Rot is legitimately sick and not just hung over.

Point being, I couldn't even enjoy my favorite mobile game because casuals ruined that, too. Just like World of Warcraft.

Okay I'm going to stop ranting now and be positive.

I made these!

That HK and Mario came out so badass.


I wish there was more to write about but this kinda turned into a ranty entry. I've been cranky..

What I need is a nice, relaxing evening in Little Tokyo. Devon is gone, so ... oops. I'm being negative again. But I could go with....! Oh wait, no I can't!
I'd just have to go on my own. I would've liked to go today but... oops.. negativity. Sorry.

Positive.. what's positive? I went to work last night to get my lb of coffee and I ended up coming home with some goodies! They were mostly for Rot, but he's not eating them.

Shit sorry.

Yeah, I can't be positive.
My things will be arriving in the mail soon! But at this rate if Rot doesn't get better I can't make charms. I could go in the living room but fuck that. I need privacy. I NEED it. Otherwise I'll rage quit. It's like someone working, and this kid comes up to you and starts asking you questions about what you're doing and wanting to touch shit and just AAAAGGGHHHH PISS OFF.

You know what? I'm totally pmsing. That has to be it. That and I crave ramen and sushi.
Someone (quiet) bring me sushi. and gimme hugs. and chocolate. and orange juice. How am I not sick yet? I thought I was getting sick because my throat was sore and scratchy for a day, but it's gone now.

Is it time for Disneyland yet? =\

Haul

 The spaghetti that Rot gave me was eaten so hard that there were little splashes of sauce on my monitor hiding from my sight until just now. That was some damn good spaghetti.

Remember my Gossip Girl binge? Yeah, over that. I'm watching Once Upon A Time now thanks to this chick and just finished the first season last night. OH MY GOD it's exactly how she described it- like it's one of those 'bad good' shows. It's cheesy and bad in the beginning, but you let it take you in and then it just grips onto you and you can't stahp. You can't!
Someone else at work got so excited that I started watching it, and was asking me where I left off. I told her that last night I finished the first season, and was devastated that Netflix only has the one on there. lol She's like I'LL GIVE YOU MY HULU ACCOUNT INFO. WATCH SEASON 2.
She did. And oh...
I will.

UGH THE WORST CLIFFHANGER

I have a lot of work to do though, outside of my job. People at work are ordering charms again, and there are a lot that I need to get started on today and also throughout tomorrow.
Also... I've decided that I'm gonna start selling them online since so many people are interested. I feel bad... I WANT to sell them it's just... I'm literally mentally fucked up to the point where money means absolutely nothing to me in regards to the post office. LITERALLY NO. So how is this going to work? Well... there's a drop off box at the end of my street.

That's it.

All I need at this point are bubble mailer thingies and stamps. And baggies. and maybe some shit to put in there so they don't move around and break or something. Thing is they're fragile and can break; they're not made of cement! So I worry for that as well. But I did get some things yesterday from my trip to Michael's that will make my charms and crafting of better quality.

x.    Soft pastels

x.    Rubber grip taklon brushes (purple and cute as shit. Wtf is taklon tho idk)

x.   Dotting tools

x.   Sandpaper

x.   Jump rings

x.   Paint trays

x.   Amazing super fancy glue that Rot wants to get his hands on again!

x.   Storage case  

Also, my new tub of glaze arrived in the mail the other day. Oh happy day :D

I was using my old bento boxes to mix paint in. lol Kawaii and ghetto, that's me. Ew, lol psyche.
These should make mixing SO much easier x_x omg...  it was the last one, too!

Not only are they pretty... but they're pretty. And the grippies ^_^ heee

And they match all my other purple stuff :B HEE

THESE. 

I'm so happy I got my hands on these. They're useful for pretty much everything and I'm an idiot for not acquiring them sooner. Dotting tools are just... omfg. PRAISE JESUS

Shading is something I've never been good at, but I'm slowly trying it. The most recent shading I did that turned out alright was on my Grey Rock Worm. It's got a shit green tint on a grey-ish brown textured body. The shading was done with acrylic, but I'm sure if it had been with pastels it would've come out so much better. So... here we go.

Peemps.... NO.

:3 All of these were also in another one of my bento boxes. My little Korok's cello head broke off from clanking and stuff so much against the other charms. Now he shares a little room with the Piranha plant ^^

And it's kind of stupid how relieved I am to have sandpaper. Working with white clay is BLEUGH.

There's always some little hair or dust shit that ends up on it no matter how many times you wipe everything off, and even use scrap clay to collect dust from your fingertips and mat. IT JUST IS A DIRTY LITTLE JEZEBEL picking up everything it comes in contact with and not letting go. So...

I'll sand the dickens out of it so it cleans it up after baking. :D mwahaha! Makes it way easier lol

The funny thing is I never really was a crafty artsy type person. All this creating stuff is like lolwtf, and happened at random. My soul motivation to start it was because I want all these toys but am too cheap to buy them, and I can't always find exactly what I want. Where the hell am I gonna find a cute little vinyl drider doll? DO YOU KNOW? CUZ I DON'T.

I did find this really awesome sculpture of a Mind flayer on Etsy for $125.00. Was pretty bad ass... in fact... 

 

Like... who in the world doesn't want that? AMIRITE? It sold years ago, but I flirted with the idea of purchasing it for myself. Ugh. I regret. 

POINT BEING: yeah... I can make my own damn adorable cute little guys and stuff, and like... make little things for them and stuff. I LIKE DOLLS, STFU. 

So yeah... I dunno. It's probably the only craftsy thing I can do, or even care to do. I used to enjoy drawing, but I was never good at shading or color, just outlines. Kinda useless. Unless you're Marco Galli. But I assure you, I am not Marco Galli. Nor do I wish to perfect the patience he has mastered in his skill of doing absolutely perfect line art that probably took FOREVER. I dunno. 

I guess it's just weird to me. Never really have I felt I'd be the kind of person to end up at a crafts store... at will.

Honestly though I think it's just because I don't want people to think I'm a hippie. 

dreadlocks + crafts = (hippie)?

Ugh. Gross.

I really like this picture. See? Hippies, albiet dreadlocked, do not have smooth legs or clean white socks. Let alone animals on their feet. They probably don't even believe in beds. They're too busy sleeping naked in hay somewhere, making out with frogs and eating shrooms and not shaving.

This picture has absolutely nothing to do with anything at all. 

Rot just came in here and put his head next to mine, and started shaking it. So I did too. We're like convenient store bells when someone walks through the door.

Charmsies

  Last night I ended up at a bar again.
All of these adult things- woo! Sorry.. I'm an idiot.

It was a birthday celebration for a co-worker, but I like her because she's almost as cynical as me.
So I made her a little something and went to give it to her amongst the birthday time things. She really liked it :) Made going out worth it. Thankfully, another co-worker wanted to switch shifts with me earlier on that day. At first I was hesitant, but decided it'd be a better idea if I just end up going to work later since I'll probably be staying out late. Tomorrow though I work at 4:30 a.m... so that's gonna be weird.

I also made some charms last night!

I'm SO happy with how this Jigglypuff came out. It's a massive improvement over the first one I ever made.

Haha... omg. Progress! :D It makes me happy knowing that I've improved in this little craft. I really enjoy it, and I hope it shows as time goes on :P

My second little octopus rag doll. SHE'S SO CUTE >_< UGH. 

Squeeeee!

Yes, more BoI charms. Next I'm gonna try to make some of the bosses. They're way more detailed. I hope I do them justice. 

:DD eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee so excite!

And lastly... the Grey Rock Worm from Penumbra: Overture. I hate those things so much... it's the most horrifying thing ever when they start tunneling out towards you omg. They're MASSIVE. It makes me wanna make a little Philip chibi. While I was playing Penumbra: Black Plague I wanted to make a Tuurngait charm, but didn't know if it'd look right. WE SHALL SEE.

I'm thinking about going in to work early to eat. Hrrmmm.... 

Is it time for Disneyland yet!?

Lizard

  It doesn't feel like a new year. That's probably because it's just another day, and the only significance is the revered meaning to this day that humans as a race put on it because the Calendar was invented.

I'm probably the only one that sees it that way. But I guess it's a nice excuse to celebrate stuff. I just wish that people wouldn't pretend their trespasses have been wiped off their slate just because the moon came out another night. I suppose it's a nice thing that everyone is in high spirits :)

Speaking of high spirits, I decided that I wanted to try an experience with the effects of THC on my nervous system. Google it.
It only took a quarter of a century but hey... I'm fine with it.

I used to suck dick for coke- I SEEN HIM!
..You ever suck some dick for marijuana?- HUH?!

 
A lot of things make way more sense now. However it's not an experience I care to try again in the near future.

I had a bad experience with brain stimulation and ultra sensory modifiers when I was little- at the Dentist. I had to get my wisdom teeth pulled and I screamed bloody murder at the sight of the syringe. No.
Not ever.
I will scream until I die if it'll keep the syringe away from my gums.

It worked. They didn't use the syringe. Instead they used "laughing gas."
It made me feel extremely aware of things at first, then I felt giggly, and suddenly my head felt extremely heavy, like I couldn't move it. When I did move my head, the world spun around me, and all I could focus on was my brain trying to process everything at the same time. The heavy feeling went into my arms and then the rest of my body, I couldn't move. I felt like there was 200lbs of pressure pushing down on me until suddenly I was out cold.

As I got older more and more people around me talked about getting high and drunk. How it made them feel dizzy and relaxed and all these different things. You see... after the laughing gas experience.. I never cared to go through that again. Or anything like that. The funny thing about that memory for me was that the dentist was smiling as he told me they were going to use the laughing gas on me. I don't remember what he said exactly but he said it like... it would make me feel good. Like.. oooh it's the laaaughing gaaaas you're gonna love this!

Not at all. I hated it. It scared the crap out of me. So... while normal people's curiosity generally gets the best of them and they try everything under the sun, I just didn't care. I'm good.
Then when I was 23, I finally started drinking socially. Not a lot, but I wouldn't say no to drinks anymore. Now at 25, last night as Rot and Josh did their thing in the living room amidst idle conversation, I thought okay... I trust them. I used to smoke cigarettes so I can probably hit it just fine. Whatever.

So I told them, and they were very paternal. Josh more so than Rot; reassuring me that I didn't have to do anything I didn't want to, no pressure, etc etc. It became this whole thing of how it should be induced because Josh has... an apparatus with filters, and then there's the 'traditional' way. I think.
I opted for the filtered apparatus so I wouldn't taste the yucky yuck. Back in high school, I forget where.. some chick's house I think.. we smoked flavored tobacco (mango) from a hookah and I remember it tasting really... smooth. Best way I can describe it. If you've smoked cigarettes you know what I'm talking about. So that memory helped in this decision.

They set everything up and the whole time I kept thinking... this is like going into the doctor's office for a shot. They're back there prepping and soon they're gonna call me in. Because I've never done it before! So I was a little nervous. You could say I am extremely naive, but that laughing gas... I'll never forget it. I was mostly concerned that it would be a similar experience. I had a feeling it might be, but I'll never know until I try.

Rot asked me if I wanted him to light it or have me do it. I told him I'd feel more comfortable if he did it for me. He did, and I took a hit. They told me to hold it in, which was weird. I did.. for a while until I couldn't and my lungs started to burn. I coughed an exhale and just coughed and coughed nonstop for over a minute! What a shitty feeling! haha
Josh teased Rot for letting me inhale as much as I did for my first time. I inhaled everything. I thought I was supposed to? I dunno. Idk wtf I was doing.
My lungs burned for what seemed like forever and I coughed a LOT until the feeling subsided. They said I may not even feel it because a lot of people don't on their first try. Initially I didn't.
It hit after about 5 minutes.
Subtle at first... like the tipsy feeling where you're drunk. You swoosh your head and you're buzzed kinda. Then
My vision and awareness became extremely sensitive. When I would dart my eyes around the room it appeared as though I was looking as mere frames of what was in my room, and not a smooth view of everything.  It was like... walking around in an MMO when it's really laggy. Like you only see 10FPS instead of 60FPS, but at a faster rate because your eyes move quickly when you look around.
Now because my awareness had increased, any movement would double the amount of brain activity going on so I sat still, focused on my field of vision. But moving my head felt like a chore.
There were stages.

Suddenly I had the urge to laugh, lol. I felt giggly. And because of my keen awareness I thought about how amazing it must be to be an animal that's super sensitive to things, like a lizard or something. All of this going on in my head, coupled with my skewed vision, and busted equilibrium and giggle fit... I stated "I feel like a lizard"
I realized what I had just said and couldn't think of any sort of context that could ever be taken in and just lost it. I couldn't stop laughing at how stupid that was, and it suddenly dawned on me... that's stoner humor.

Then everything started feeling a little more intense. Josh was talking to me but it was difficult to concentrate on a single thing. I tried to listen to him, but my brain was distracted by simple things like blinking, and lifting my neck, and the lights in the room. And I was focused on the sensations going on in my body being a little too familiar for my comfort. Suddenly I felt in the lower back part of my brain a prickly, tingly sensation that started to feel like numbness, but at the same time felt heavy. I couldn't lift my head. I was reclined back against the sofa but when I attempted to lift myself, my neck gave and my head limply fell back again. Fucking laughing gas.

The sensation in my brain started to feel like pressure, and it traveled down my spine where the tingling pressure was concentrated, then leaked into my limbs making them feel useless and out of my control. Suddenly I felt heavy, and couldn't move. Suffice to say my suspicious were realized, and it basically feels like laughing gas. Except with laughing gas I didn't feel the burning/tingling pressure. THC activates something completely different and all these little things in your body start pulsating and tingling and for me... it was rather overwhelming.
I admit that the champagne and the drink Rot gave me earlier that night maybe have contributed to the experience. Josh said I held the smoke in longer than he expected so that may have made the effects stronger.

Once the tingly pulsating pressure craziness became tolerable I forced myself up and concentrated really fucking hard to walk to my room and drop on my bed. I was out cold immediately. If Josh hadn't been there guiding me, explaining the sensations I should expect to feel I would've started panicking and crying lol. It was intense. I was no prepared for that at all. But it's different for everybody. I'm definitely not doing that again anytime in the near future. I don't think I missed out on much considering I waited as long as I did to try it, but I'm glad I did try it.


^ That was my NYE.
I was showering when Midnight struck. We all hung out in the living room and talked while watching Ninja Scroll. Wouldn't have had it any other way.
Today Rot and I went grocery shopping, got my tips from work and a lb of coffee. He Skyrim'd while I played the crap out of Binding of Isaac pretty much all day today. I got the DLC off steam for 0.74 cents!! It's awesome. Tomorrow I'm off work and gonna play more BoI. :D

I hope everyone else had a good time last night and didn't get in too much trouble. Like feeling like a lizard.
Eeeek it's almost 2:30 :B

Exposed

  I need a distraction.
What are additional life minutes and where can I buy them?!
 LOOK AT THIS.

I swear... when I finally have enough vacation time I'm gonna take a week off work and play the shit out of my games so hard. Like non-stop. I'll only stop for bathroom breaks and taco bell. I'll have a space heater too, fuck this guys prefer cold temperature shit.

I'll beat the smaller ones first, even if it takes me forever. Like a week forever I mean.
Binding of Isaac is hard!! Magdalene was finally unlocked last night. It's one of those games though where... nevermind-- it's basically like the old Zelda games. You start out with 3 hearts. If you die it's game over since I haven't seen a save function. I'm probably just stupid and there's probably a way to do it that I overlooked like a jackass. I LIKE THE CHALLENGE. I thought about Frapsing some of me playing it but naaaaaaah. I can get annoying real fast.

Oh and I haven't beaten Limbo yet. I'm stuck somewhere and can't figure it out.

The sucky part about games like those is that once you beat em, you're pretty much done with them. The whole cool thing about them, at least for me, is the excitement and figuring things out blindly and discovering new things throughout your adventure. That's kind of how I feel about Fallout 3. I'd like to go back and play it differently, but I already know the ending, and for me that kind of retires it. I'm a sucker for storyline. ^^
It's sad, for me, when I finish a game. It probably won't make sense to anyone unless you've ever gotten attached and put a lot into your world, and I don't mean just time. It's still there, the game, and you can go back to it whenever you want, but it's finished. There's nothing left to discover anymore. It's like an awesome adventure book, but you're playing out the fight scenes, the travels, you're meeting the people, living the relationships, and developing your main character but on a much more personal level... and going back to try to relive all that isn't the same, and personally the memory of the feelings I got from first encounters are precious to me. WOW I'M PATHETIC.


Alrighty then. Moving forward... ahem...

Yesterday Jason was like wanna go eat? And I was all yeah! So we went to get Sushi. Completely random but good because I didn't wanna nap. It eventually happened but not until later :P
We went to this sushi place right next to the Target around here. No idea that was even there. It's right next to a Thai place so HULLO.

hurp durp :>

Nom nom nom :D

So gurd! I'll have to take him to Octopus sometime. He picked this place out which wasn't bad. It's a cute, humble place. Octopus will blow his face off. Especially their happy hour omg

Then he wanted a cookie from my work lol. So I treated him to a delicious Eggnog latte and a snowman cookie :P

Naturally, when I got home it wasn't long before I was out cold.

I almost regret going into so much detail about how a game makes me feel. Haha that's like... a part of who I am. It makes me feel a little more exposed >.> 

Speaking of stupid geeky things... at some point I'd like to get an xbox 360 controller for my computer. There are a couple games I want *cough*DARKSOULS*cough* that play completely different and without a controller you're kind of bleh. A trip to Fry's may be in my future soon-ish... eventually.

Boots

   Oddly,  "Happy House" is stuck in my head...

I don't even really care for Siouxsie and the Banshees. Some of their songs are alright, I guess. RANDOM THOUGHTS.

When I got home I flopped on my bed and struggled against falling into REM. In fact, I'm still doing that this very moment. Except in my chair. Dat laziness.

Pillow so fluffy... x_x

The little cut out part on my ear reminds me of the little divots that kitties have on their ears.^^ 

That formed completely by accident btw. I pierced my ears a billion times and played with that one to the point of rejection. The shape it left behind though... dat kitty ear.

Today will consist of more digital escapism and Buffy. My boots look atrocious!

I have to use those until I figure out how to get my work discount on the Sketchers site. No one's responding to me about it. There's no way I'm paying full price on them again, na uh.
Look how gross they look

lol. They're several years old and I love em because they're so durable (they better be for how much I paid for them!) but they look extra gross because they're shiny! Haha XD 

My poor 20 eyes =\

There's sand on them too from my last trip to the beach. I LURB MAH BOOTSIES

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a neat show. I've watched most of the episodes but completely out of order, lol. So I know mostly what happens throughout the seasons. Never realized how kind of hot Spike is. Drusilla makes me want to gag up bile/residual food particles and feed it to her. Is that weird? Or mean? I don't know. Whatever. HATERS GONNA HATE BIRDS

Wait, what, are those health and mana pots? And swords?

Jolly

  I had forgotten how creepy the Penumbra games are. Just kidding no I didn't, I'm just a pansy.

Christmas things and holiday cheer!
What did Cynthia do for Christmas? Well... not much. I made charms. They're posted all over the place so you've probably already seen them. I'd like to make more but I can't stop playing Penumbra: Overture. Or the Binding of Isaac.
Okay, you don't understand... they were on sale on Steam for like nothing.
However Binding of Isaac inspired me to make charms so you could say that was a technically productive move.

I ran out of glaze. That's actually a lie.

The cap wasn't shut properly and the glaze dried enough to where it wasn't workable. So I had to order more. In the mean time my charms look a little lifeless.

It's a heart.

I have presents that I need to give to people. Admittedly, shipping them was a smarter idea but (1) I hate the post office and (2) see #1.

We all pretty much spent Christmas day playing video games. Nothing out of the ordinary. Josh made Ham the night before so we had something festive to eat.
Rot got Skyrim, I was going back and forth between my two, and Josh I think has been on a Planetside 2 binge. He tried to get us to get in on it-- no, basically. We're both so tied up in Rift that us even parting from it like we have is weird.

Christmas loot

Ponies and Kyrie sent me a Christmas package with the cutest gift ever. It's a matrixykersomething doll. The ones that have a smaller version within the other? It's handmade and he picked out the colors!
Their package was super flashy lol. I had a billion different kinds of fancy, shiny wrapping paper made of precious metals from the earths core and a billion different kinds of hershey's kisses :)
And they also gave me a $30.00 gift card for Veggie Grill. I really like their mushroom burger so that'll be a trip in the near future. The only yucky thing is that the closest one to us is in Hollywood. Yucky Hollywood >.< hah - I got them stuff too but I can't say because they don't have them yet :P

Rot of course bought me the expansion to Rift earlier this year, and then got me two Marilyn Monroe movies. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (a favorite) and Some like it Hot. I used to watch Gentlemen Prefer Blondes on Netflix religiously and memorized the whole damn movie by heart. Then they took it off instant watch :( And the other movie I've never watched before, but I watched and IT'S SO CUTE AND FUNNY. I loved it! -- I got him pants and a cup set that has CRTL ALT DEL keyboard keys as cups. Seems legit.

And Josh.. he went overboard. Remember the artist I went nuts over from Long Beach Comic Con? Who did the line art for the Drizz't comics?
 Josh bought one of his prints and had it framed for me. Pretty awesome, I wasn't expecting that at all. - and I got him a tshirt that says I'm only here because you broke something. Which pretty much is fact. Regarding everything ever. He got a good laugh out of it because it's true.

Also got another nice gift from Santa... a notice for a smog check on my Honda. JOY
There's always something. Also the new work shoes I got are too small. They hurt horribly. JOY
I can't send them back because I used them and also because I hate post offices.
The Saturn is broken. It works, but it's making a worrying sound that makes it feel unsafe to drive. JOY.

Next year looks more promising! Aside from the several times I talked about my Disney trip at the end of January with my friend, Wondercon will be in March! I will attend that convention alone if I have to. Also, I learned my lesson from my Long Beach trip. Definitely will be much better prepared.

This morning before Rot left for work...

he bit me.

OMG so Happy Street... the mobile game I'm always yapping over.. somehow reset itself. Everything gone. All my buildings, my little characters, and most of the things in my bags all gone. However I'm still the same level I was before it reset somehow. I don't know what happened, and it sucks. Though it's kind of fun rebuilding everything again.
YOU GUISE, GET HAPPY STREET. IT'S SO FUN. Add me 'cynthx' on there :D
