All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very, very
Mad world, mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me, what's my lesson?
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very, very
Mad world, mad world, enlarging your world
Mad world

Psych exam.
Unit 3.
9:00 AM tomorrow morning.

So, I may have lost my job at McDonalds for smartassing the store owner's son (who is a manager there).

Here's how it went down.
I clocked off work 20 minutes after I was supposed to. That's fine, more money for me. Now after sitting down with some friends, I went in to get a Diet Coke. The girl on register (also a friend of mine) goes to make it, puts hot water, lemonade, all sorts of shit in it. I think "Fuck that, and I don't have time to wait for a new one" and head over to the Drive-Thru drinks machine and put one through there. I leave it making itself and stand behind the counter. Apparently that's not far enough back and Joe (a manager) asks me to move back. I oblige. The girl brings me the Diet-Coke-full-of-shit. Whilst this is happening, the store owner's son comes over and says to me...

SOS: Do you work here?
ME: Yeah.
SOS: Do you know who I am?
ME: *snorts a little* Yeah. (I'm not impressed by this tough-guy-act)
SOS: Well, they-
GIRL: Here's your Diet Coke.
*I take a sip*
ME: (to SOS) Hang on. (To girl) Eww, this is gross! Why did you put stuff in it?
SOS grabs my fucking head and turns it towards him.
SOS: Focus. Well, they're working, you're not. Continue to distract the crew when you're not working and I'll tell you to go fuck yourself and you won't be here anymore. (Fair enough really. I wasn't objecting to this.)
ME: Yeah man, sure.

He walks over to the McCafe and orders something with his girlfriend.
On the way out:
ME: See you, dude. Have a nice day!
SOS: Go fuck yourself.
ME: *grins at him*
SOS: *grins wolfishly back*

So that was that. I suspect I'm not working there anymore. I'm going in tomorrow to check my shifts. If I am fired, I will ask to see the manager, or SOS himself if he's in. If I have been fired, I will not be impressed and will create quite the scene. I will then contact my lawyer, and they will hear from him. I will file for Harassment (Psychological) and Assault against this prick. Fuck him and his shit.

Who the fuck does he think he is?

Yeah, so, I'm playing Pokémon Platinum when I have time to spare, but I'd like to get event Pokémon from previous versions, or from D/P/Pt. I'm looking for a LJ community (that's STILL ACTIVE) which can help me out here. Legitimacy isn't really an issue; I don't play online.

Can anyone give me a hand?

Because FUCK TWITTER!

I think it'd be TOTALLY AWESOME to be a character in a webcomic.

Originally I was going to post something I thought was rather juicy and true and screw the drama, but then I thought "Nah, that's negative drama".

I wonder where the point is artistically in which you get a license to act like a pretentious jerk? Some people I've seen seem to think they've passed that point, but... no.

I can't wait for lunch tomorrow with Will. We have so much fun.

http://muushi.net/home/v/Furry+Comi.....+page.jpg.html - READ THIS COMIC NAO. I loved it.

I really need to buy a microphone, it's killing me not being able to record any songs. Hania recommended one that was $300... whilst it does sound fantastic I don't have that kind of money!

These aren't anywhere near all my random thoughts, they're passing through a meticulous screening process

I'm going to a German film festival this weekend~! That should be interesting!

When I move out, I want to live in a den kind of arrangement, kinda like Kiba, Misty, Kid, Jet (and Bingo?) have going. That's way more my style.

I kinda worry I'm too apathetic at times.

I've been told by multiple people that I hide my true feelings behind a mask, even people I haven't met in reality. That's kinda concerning.

To bring to people's attention that I finally finished a report of my trip to QLD.
It's here.

Seriously. You're an asshole.

Why is it that you inexplicably run like a piece of shit on my computer? Every time I click, it's around three minutes before you execute that action. Why is it that you are the only program I have that can use .m4a, but are also the only program that NO MATTER WHAT refuses to burn discs?
Why do you make us create a playlist just to burn a disc? What the hell?
Why can't you just use a drag/drop system with the iPod? Or at least give us the option to do so?
When browsing your music folders (through Windows Explorer) do you sort them at all? Or just randomly put songs in folders?
Why do you have the 'Contacts' function? I use my phone for that, because it can actually call them, not just allow me to look at their phone number.
Why do you have such an annoying interface? And you know that "Cover Flow" thing? That's just fucking gay. Seriously. It'd be great if most people actually bought their music through your equally gay store, but lets face it, they don't. So you have a lot of blank covers to scan through, great.
Why do you make us have an iTunes Store account just to get album covers?
I don't want Safari. Stop asking.

I have so much work to do and no motivation to do it.
Here come exams... D:
Still, I'm having some fun with my guitar...

Haha, 90% romantic. Sadly, true.
That's all.

Hey everyone! Wow, I haven't posted in ages... sorry, but this is a real short post, I've got tonnes of work to do.

A) I'm looking for work at a cinema. No, it's not in the hopes it'll be like Concession!
B) A customer came up to me at work the other day and commented that the uniform "makes me look anorexic". What. The. Hell?
C) Yay, MSN! I'm meeting some great people over MSN, and AIM.

*EDIT*  EXTREME TOOTHBRUSHING. CAN YOU FEEL THE ADRENALINE?

Yes, sorry all. I just haven't found anything at all to write about... So I'll give you snippets, because I love you all so much.

WoW news: 
Hit level 29, finally breaking alt-fever. Night Elf druid, GO! Oh, and I'm really well geared. All blues with three greens. So that's a plus. One major issue though, mounts at 30. Fuck that. Congratulations Blizzard, you just nerfed the absolute crap out of travel form. What's that? Use it to escape combat? No, because Cat Form and Dash are faster. So, essentially a useless form that can only be used outdoors. Great.

And WoWmatrix isn't working! Help!

Other gaming news:
Picked up Diablo 2 again, although I can't say I'm looking forward to Diablo III all that much. I mean, what's the storyline this time? Demons swarm the world... again? Beating a dead horse, Blizz. Beating a dead horse. It'll probably be a good game and all, but... not different enough. Get some major crap with WoW worked out. Now.

Call me crazy, but I'm looking for The Sims 2. *shrug*

Finally got up to the last mission in GTA4, chose Deal. Haven't finished it though... What tickled me pink is that as Niko is kicked from the helicopter, he doesn't swear at all, but chooses a much cleaner "Damn it!" as he falls into the water. Personally I'd be swearing my head off if I was falling from a damn helicopter.

School news:
I have been run off my feet! So much work to do, god-damn it! Major assessments here and there... so I'm beat.

Work news:
I can't get my new uniform because my asshole manager says I haven't worked enough lately. Only the store manager can give it to me for some retarded reason, and I don't see him very much, so I was really angry. I'm pretty much the only guy that still has the old uniform.

Oh, but the Olympics promo is over! No more stupid McEuropes, McAustralias, McAmericas... YES!

Art news:
All inspiration is currently away, so nothing is being done. Nothing. No writing, no drawing, no music.

Relationship news:
None yet. Still a boring old single.

Other news:
I'm no longer wearing compression bandage plus padding for my recent surgery (no, I'm not talking about it, so don't bother asking), but just a compression bandage. I can now sleep on my stomach again, too! I've barely slept for the last week because I had to sleep on my back.


Well, I think that covers it all.

Happy Birthday to joecifur 
I hope you have a great day!

Yup, it is indeed my birthday tomorrow. To celebrate, I have an after-school detention for wagging assembly. Hoorah.

 

Nonetheless, I can't wait!

 

*Addition* Because of the nice comments, I'll simply modify date and title. Thanks everyone!

No movie has ever touched me in the same way.

That is all.

So, as I've said before, I can't voice-post. Which annoys me. Does anyone know of a good site that I can upload voice recordings to, and then, if possible (but not totally necessary) embed them? Because I have a sneaking suspicion that 85% of you guys wouldn't bother clicking the link... anyway. Please help me out here.

Yay! I got this weekend off work! I wanted it really badly for a couple of reasons...
1) One of my best friends is doing his debutante ball (prom) and I want to go, plus a wicked afterparty...
2) On Sunday I have my own deb practice and really can't afford to miss it.

I was considering playing sick, and getting a doctor's certificate that I was well again (we need a cert saying we're well, rather than one saying we're sick) from one of my dad's colleagues, or simply quitting, and in the end I decided to tell them I had an important family event (half true, he's a close family friend). My conscience is relatively clear, because I just hate the managers, and I really, really can't miss practice... So... yeah.

It's working out great.

On a different note, I have a .mp4 version of Kung Fu Panda, and for some weird reason my iTunes keeps saying it can't be played on my iPod (it's a Video, so I don't see why not)... any ideas?

Alright, I've hit a bit of a writer's block. I'm currently trying desperately to write a bit of a story, and it's characters that are presenting the problem. I'm thinking a party of two or three, with the main character being able to utilize a form of magic that isn't as much *magic* as much as controlling the very essence of reality (this being his main ability).

The first companion is the tricky part. I'm thinking that he will dual-wield katanas, and be able to move extremely fast whilst attacking (NOT to be confused with super-speed, he runs, jumps etc. at normal speed, it is merely his combat based abilities that are fast) and has an ability to let loose the darkness in his soul (he is neutral [with both good and bad sides, or even personalities], and only helps the main character because he finds the character's aims and personality interesting) and move so quickly that his movements blur when he attacks. However, this puts an enormous pressure on his soul (basically having two personalities act simultaneously on his body) and "burns" it, injuring him initially slowly, gaining speed as time goes on (eventually this heals). Staying in this form can kill him. Now, my trouble is, what can his weakness be? How can he be defeated? At some point, no doubt, I'll pull the classic move of the main character's friends turning against him, but how can the main character engage in a tension-filled fight and emerge the victor?

(EDIT #1: List of the partner's abilities [so far...])

• Blitz-style attacks, preferring 'more attacks, less individual damage' over 'less attacks, more individual damage'
  
• Wings (currently do not enable flight, but enable great air control and large jumps
• "Let loose the Darkness"
• Very agile

Note: Both characters are very agile, so I don't know if this should be listed as an ability...


Grr.
(Oh, and the possible third character is undecided. If you'd like to throw a suggestion, or even write a bio for yourself/your own character, go for it.)
I'll probably edit this later, because I'm really tired and have probably written an absolute mess... *sigh* but input would still be greatly appreciated.

(We take a break from your scheduled programming to bring to you complete and utter bitching. Sorry for any inconvenience.)

I assume you've read about this 'study'. If you haven't, take it as complete and utter bullshit. No, really. Apparently, yes, the homosexual brain has a larger right hemisphere than straight men, making it similar in structure to the heterosexual women. Now, excuse us for a second, where do bisexual people fit into this? They just have big brains? Or they don't exist? I don't take a side in the "born with sexuality" vs. "choose sexuality" argument, so don't ask me about it, by the way. And then there's another thing, wouldn't it be a much better use of our time and money to find cures for diseases, or something? Who cares about this crap? Really?

Jesus... sometimes...

Alright! They salvaged my photos! So... without further ado... a massive photo-filled entry with stories attached!



There are a couple more photos on the other camera which isn't home right now, but I'll stick em up in Part Three.

*EDIT*: For some weird reason the pictures aren't linked to the full versions any more. I will fix this later, until then they're in my gallery.
