Sticky post. [31 Dec 2037|11:59pm] [ mood | Hi! ] Welcome. ^_^ Within this journal you will find few introspective posts. Instead, you will find content about video games, general happenings in my life, and other things of interest that I find. I always LJ-cut big obtrusive memes and things that could skew your friends list. I seldomly post more than once or twice a week. Thanks for reading, and have a stellar day. 48 comments|post comment

all gone. [03 May 2008|01:58am] Oh yeah, I got my hair all cut off a couple of weeks ago. Kitty hat that I've had for years actually seems to fit now. desaturated; sloppy eyebrows, sans hat ...but this is 3 weeks of growth in. going to get it trimmed tomorrow. keeping it short. got a "sir" tonight from the waiter as he handed me my check (which made me smile a whole lot. I might have been just hearing things though.) while I was out with mdw and Shannon tonight having awesome sushi (thanks for chillin' btw, was fun, need to do it again soon) I haven't logged in to WoW in three days at least. I really need to play some tomorrow. It's Childrens' Week! I need to run around with my little orphan and get the Willy pet. Hahaha. Last night, I went on a voyage to the Galleria and got to finally partake in a rite of passage any Houstonian knows. I took a half hour to find my car in the subterranian parking garage. Yes, I know NOW that there are two Macy's. It sucked only having an hour and a half to poke around... place is so damn huge. I'll go back the Saturday after my next paycheck, I think. Disjointed... need to get to sleep. I also need to write in this thing more. Also, say yo to my little bro, who's joined the LJ world. He's a bit eccentric in his own right, and seems to be quite the geek as well. -> hostwitdamost Be nice. He and I have been talking a bit lately, and seem to have patched up whatever shit was up our asses over the past 20 years. He might even be coming for a visit in a few months. Time for sleep. 14 comments|post comment

Miserable old codger. [28 Apr 2008|10:02pm] [ mood | nonplussed ] I went to Taco Bell for dinner tonight. A gaggle of what looked like high school boys were hanging out, being rambunctious, typical teenagers, and I was being my usual emotionless self, eating my taco and tostada the best I could without getting food anywhere other than in my mouth (watching me eat is amusing, just ask anyone who's witnessed it.) "Stay" by Lisa Loeb started playing over the piped-in-from-who-knows-where satellite, and I thought to myself... "God damn, these kids were toddlers when this song came out." I was a freshman in high school. Ladies and gentlemen, 27 feels old. I could probably still pass for 21, though, so who cares, right? I went to Fry's afterward and bought Lost Odyssey, Rock Band, and Guitar Hero 3 for XBox 360 (the latter two with disc only; guitar's the only instrument I can play in Rock Band and I already have one of those.) and some shameless nostalgia. No more spending. I need to start up those double payments on my car and get that $10k paid off. *laughter is heard in the distance* 6 comments|post comment

XBox 360 get! [19 Apr 2008|10:13pm] [ mood | must spend more points... ] I have my own now. Gamertag: Starien Add me, and I swear I'll add you back. It's right here, jacked into the monitor, so two keypresses and I'm in. I also have one of those keypad addon things for the controller, so typing isn't a bitch and a half. Reply with your tag, yo. 10 comments|post comment

Well, shit. This is just damn cute. [18 Apr 2008|07:07pm] Cat + Theremin = <3 Thanks, the_af for the link. 2 comments|post comment

Big. [15 Mar 2008|10:47am] [ mood | sleepy ] The size comparison next to the laptop is hilarious. The laptop only has a 13" screen, though. Not much more to be said, there. Here are the actual specs. I bought the 3 year extended warranty thing on this one, so if it shits itself, I'll just march back and get another. Oh yeah, and it has one stuck pixel (green, toward the bottom right), but it's pretty much not there unless the screen is solid black and I'm right up on it. As this thing's going to double as a TV and I'll probably be viewing it from afar, I really don't feel like going back for another... the replacement might have two. I tried some of those pixel un-sticker programs, but nothing seemed to work. Not too big of a deal. 3 comments|post comment

What is the deal? [14 Mar 2008|02:19pm] [ mood | wtf ] I woke up this morning and my screensaver wasn't on. Instead, I got a blank screen. I figured, "great, computer shit itself over night and needs to be rebooted" so I hit the power switch. On POST, I saw very faint text, which indicated to me that the backlight had blown. Wonderful. I turned the monitor off and continued getting ready for work. When I came back, I turned it back on and... nothing. Every 10 seconds or so, the power LED would flicker, as if it were trying to kick into desktop resolution, but couldn't. This is the second LCD that's shit itself in as many years. I could understand if it were some shitty no-name off-brand or something, but this was a Samsung SyncMaster 215TW. It had component inputs and everything. That's probably going to be the toughest feature to find when I go shopping for a new one. I'd really love to get a loaner and just send this one in for RMA, but you know what, 21" isn't enough. I'm going to go for a 24". I knew having almost four digits in my checking account wasn't going to last long. ;) Oh well. 9 comments|post comment

Valkyrie Profile DS? [13 Mar 2008|12:11pm] [ mood | excited ] what what what what \o/ YES. Oh please let it not suck. Who am I kidding, if tri-Ace has anything to do with it, it'll be awesome. I'm surprised to see this for the DS, though... also, the sprites are very SO1/SO2-esque. 3 comments|post comment

70. [05 Feb 2008|11:26pm] [ mood | exhausted ] Ding. I gained damn near 2 full levels in the last 3-4 days. 12k HP self-buffed and I'm still loaded down with greens. Oh, this is going to be fun. I've got a 2v2 arena partner, and we did ok for our very first match ever, considering we weren't on Ventrilo or anything. I'm going to see how long I can rock Affliction before I'm prodded to spec SL/SL. I really don't want to. Warlocks FTW. Also, job interview on Thursday. If I get it, I may get to prematurely relieve myself of my new piercings, but for nearly 3x what I'm making now, I'd shave my head if they'd ask. :) We'll see. The guy I spoke with this afternoon, with whom I'd been playing phone/email tag since November, seemed very nice, and eager to meet me. Ok, time to get my 5 hours of sleep. Gahh. x_x Waking up at 4:30 sucks! 5 comments|post comment

lol eyeliner [02 Feb 2008|05:30pm] [ mood | insane ] I have no idea what I'm doing. There are the new piercings, though. Yeah, I completely blurred and desaturated with photoshop. So what? :) Ok, off to go get ready to raid Gruul's Lair. Hi, weekend. Finally. Edit: Holy shit, we one-shotted Maulgar AND Gruul. We rock. /dance 10 comments|post comment

Spontaneous actions and rambling [01 Feb 2008|11:41pm] [ mood | tired ] I have two new holes in my face. I got the idea this morning, and figured "why not?" so... we went to this piercing place/tattoo parlor that David and Steph referred us to, and I got hooked up. One on my right eyebrow, one on the right side of my bottom lip. I'm very pleased with them, but will be even moreso once I can get the blue marking ink to wash off. That's why I haven't posted any pics yet... I'd really rather not, though, not until the holes heal and I get the studs exchanged for little rings, which is going to be 5-6 weeks from now. I'm going to aim to do that for my birthday, I think. It really didn't hurt at all. Right before the guy came at me with the needle, I contemplated how this would be a new experience, and how I'd just concentrate on how it felt, rather than get all worked up about it. Amazingly, that worked out wonderfully. I didn't flinch with either one. Stoic is the antithesis of emo, right? There's just not been a subculture created for it yet. I'm not sure what kind of look I'm going for, but the next time I get my hair done, I have a feeling I'm going to be sealing it. ;) Oh well, I don't feel like I'm almost 27. No need to look like I am. Argh, need more money so I can buy more clothes. -That- is something I never thought I'd see myself express. A week or so ago, when I came down with a sinus infection or something, I briefly dipped below 140 for the first time in recent memory. I'm back up to 143 though, but I seem to be hovering... and I'm able to wear 30"-32" pants (size 8-10), so huzzah, I say. :D In three weeks, my work schedule is going to consist of four ten-hour days, 1pm-12am on weekdays, and 8-9am - 7-8pm on weekends. Three days off is gonna rock, and I will no longer be tempted to eat out all the time. Frozen dinners ahoy! Ah, the life of a callcenter burger-flipper. It's nice to have money again, if even just a little. Warlock's level 68. I should be poised to hit 70 in another week or two, but I really think I'm going to be an asshole and sit on 69 for a while, just to beat the shit out of twinked hunters in PVP battlegrounds. :D Jeremy and I are going to see my parents at the end of February. I'm pretty excited about it. My dad's probably going to lose his shit when he sees me. I'm going to look completely different than I did more than a year ago, last time I saw them. I think I'm going to wait until after I get back from there before posting any pics. ;) Fucking hell, I have to be up in four and a half hours. Tomorrow is my 'friday' :/ Thanks for enduring the rambling. I'll try to post more later. I just don't make enough time. 5 comments|post comment

The Illusionist [10 Jan 2008|12:15am] [ mood | apathetic ] I don't really exist anymore. Sorry if I've been out of touch. I care, I just hate picking up the phone for any reason... or answering email... and I'm never around for IMs. Yeah, it really is nothing personal, I just have a general lack of drive. So much has gone on... but... I just have a lack of will to write about it all. Lives are changing, and I'm watching, and I'm so utterly fascinated. The best part about this is that I'm perfectly alright with it... the personal stuff, anyway. Be your true mind. I might write more if I'm feeling verbose... but... lots of work lately, not much time for being verbose. Cheers, all. 15 comments|post comment

Play WoW? Please participate in my survey. [16 Dec 2007|03:26pm] [ mood | blah ] Please participate in this simple survey that links RL gender to in-game character gender and race. LJ should have an "anonymous users may participate in polls" option so I can take this to places that may have a ton of WoW players, but comparatively few LJ members. I tried posting this on the big worldofwarcraft community, but the mods rejected it, stating similar polls are submitted every few weeks... yeah, similar, maybe, but they're damn hard to find, and none of them are structured like this. Please feel free to spam this around a bit anywhere you think is applicable. I'm trying to get at least 100 replies. Thanks. post comment

WoW Gender Poll [13 Dec 2007|03:11pm] (For those linked here from my personal journal, please feel free to participate if applicable. If not, just move along, nothing to see here. ;) ) SURVEY INSTRUCTIONS Please answer EVERY question. For each participant, only one of the four questions will apply to you. Please mark "N/A" for the other three. The survey refers to the ONE character you would consider your "main" or your "favorite" character to play. If you have multiples, please try your best to pick just one. I know it's hard sometimes, but for the sake of the survey, please pick one. Also, when referring to your RL gender, I am referring to what you identify as TODAY in society. Birth gender doesn't matter, in the case that you're TS/TG. Thanks a ton. :) ( On to the survey...! ) 8 comments|post comment

Quick poll [12 Dec 2007|05:19am] [ mood | tired ] Poll #1104813 AT&T U-Verse Open to: All, results viewable to: All AT&T U-Verse View Answers I want it! I don't have it yet though (existing contract with other provider, or not available in my area) 3 (13.0%) I'm happy with my current provider and don't wish to switch. 1 (4.3%) What the hell is U-Verse? 18 (78.3%) I don't care. 1 (4.3%) I already have it! 0 (0.0%) Guess what I get to support? I'm amused so far. AT&T seems to be more concerned with customers' happiness than anything else. Call times? "Try to keep it under 17 minutes." Other than that, the only metrics they seem to care about are the thoroughness of our call notes, that we avoid unnecessary service dispatches, and that we do everything in our damn power to help resolve the customer's issue on the first call. It's a nice change from how Creative does things. Waking up at 4:30am for training sucks. I'm going to sleep before midnight again! The horror! As a result, I only get to play WoW about 2 hours each night, so I'll probably run a BG or two each night during the week, then save my farming/dungeoning/RPing for the weekend. I'm level 58 now. :D. Hopefully once we get going I'll be able to pick up the closing shift. I'm not a morning person. 2 comments|post comment

ISYST: I've Seen Your Shitty Town [27 Nov 2007|12:59am] [ mood | amused ] My husband's in the natural gas business. He gets to go on all kinds of fun trips to out-of-the-way places. Not surprisingly, most of them suck. He's created a blog to highlight the cream of the crap. http://isyst.blogspot.com/ Enjoy. Maybe your town is next! (probably not, though.) I was sick for about 48 hours. All better now. Whew. No more Phat Ky... ever. 8 comments|post comment

Ugh. [22 Nov 2007|07:38pm] [ mood | sick ] I have a new life experience to write about: Food poisoning. Tuesday night, Jeremy and I went to Phat Ky, this independently-owned Vietnamese restaurant we'd patronized several times in the past. We ordered the same thing we always get... some spring rolls, hot & sour soup, and a bowl of chicken vermicelli. Around 2am that night, I went to lie down because I was feeling pretty queasy. I figured I'd just eaten too much, and I'd feel better if I unglued my eyes from the PC screen and rested. Nope, 30 minutes later I was heaving the contents of my stomach into the toilet. Over the next 2-3 hours, I seriously thought I was going to die, heh. I almost passed out a few times. Over the next 30 hours or so, I did little other than sleep and sip water, only to throw it back up again. As Jeremy had the same thing as I to eat, he had a similar experience, but without the throwing up. We're at his parents' house right now. We survived the 3.5 hour drive up here... I feel a lot better, and managed to chow on some Thanksgiving food without anything bad happening. The worst seems to be over, but I still have a hard time standing up without my head spinning, ugh. Happy Thanksgiving all, hahaha. 7 comments|post comment

Short life update [20 Oct 2007|07:55pm] [ mood | *smirk* ] - I quit my job on Friday. Nope, I don't have another one lined up, but I will in no more than two weeks. Just watch me. I was burning out hardcore, and a discussion that Jeremy and I had regarding "dead-end jobs" just kind of helped push me in that direction. I feel liberated. - A week ago, Jeremy and I took Friday off work and I went to get my driver's license renewed. Guess what? I barely squeaked by the tiny little eye exam that's given. The lady at the desk said "you need to get that checked. Your left eye is weaker than your right." Fuck. - I met this dude on the interwebs the other day, and he'll be showing up with his wife shortly for our second meeting so we may partake in anime watching and dinner getting. Really, really awesome people. I'll see if I can sneak a picture or something sometime tonight, preferably after I watch them all get drunk. ;) (Yeah, I'm going to secretly remain the sober one... we'll see how that works out.) Yep. 4 comments|post comment

Duran Duran? Holy shit. Holy SHIT. [18 Oct 2007|06:29pm] [ mood | giddy ] Uh. Hahaha. http://video.music.yahoo.com/up/music/music/?rn=1301797&vid=50293797&stationId=&curl= Oh my god. *dies* I _NEED_ a high resolution version of this. Need. Help? Nick's eye makeup... *cries elephant tears* Help. XD XD XD Dear Public: PLEASE EAT THIS SONG UP LIKE THE TASTY MORSEL IT IS!!!! I want Duran Duran to make another big comeback. ;_; This song is awesome, and it seems to be tailored to public consumption... and the video... the video... it's like everything's come full circle. Check out the very end, hahaha. They know it, too. XD *takes a breath* I'm ok, I'm ok... 1 comment|post comment

I still live. [14 Oct 2007|08:36pm] [ mood | thoughtful ] Warlock's level 38, and pretty well twinked out for battlegrounds... totally whoring out stamina and intellect in lieu of direct spell damage, but it's pretty funny being last man standing after a bad pull (psh, not my fault) in a dungeon or whatever. Siphon Life FTW. It's funny, the only person I'd know to complain about the lingo I used above will know exactly what I'm talking about. ;) On the RP side of the new character, I'm finding myself drawn into an extremely closeknit guild that's something like 90% RP, 10% everything else... which is why I'm levelling so slow, compared to how I far I could be, had I spent the time I've played so far grinding. I've never outwardly fancied myself a writer (*glares in the direction of someone who will most likely never read this, who will remain unmentioned*), but I am finding I have a natural talent for articulating my character--his thoughts, his actions--in the presence of others... role-playing is as someone described, tag-team storytelling, and I seem to have a natural knack for it. It's a creative outlet I haven't had in a while. Nothing else to report, really... other than that I'm going to be an aunt. Jeremy's sister is pregnant. Eeee. Now his mom will leave us alone regarding popping out kids, hopefully. I finally signed up for Pandora. If you have an account, add oddigy to your friends list, or if it wants an email address, oddigy is my gmail account as well. Having been on a recent Blaqk Audio kick, I fed that band into Pandora, and it spit out a band called Colony 5, which I am listening to right now. I think I'm going to have to buy some of their CDs. I've really been into dark electro pop lately. 12 comments|post comment
