Return of the Revenge of the Son of Saying Hi to Josiah!

[Doodleshark]

'Lo, peeps. Just providing a quick update on my life since I haven't posted here in a while.

- I have for the most part overcome my depression with the assistance of heavy medication that will soon be covered by Ontario tax payers.

- I'm currently still trying to get enough credits to graduate from high school due to missing half of 2010 with mental illness.

- The NHL All-Star game is taking place in Ottawa later this week, which is awesome.

- The largest IKEA in the coutry recently opened a few kilometres from where I live.

- American politics makes my brain hurt, unless it involves Stephen Colbert.

- I have been watching far more reality television than should be considered healthy for any human being (mostly Hell's Kitchen).

- I got a 3DS for Christmas (w00t).

- Unsurprisingly, it's cold and there's snow and ice everywhere.

...Yeah, that's all I got for now. Tot ziens.

Hi! The final builds of Car Washer are done! Now I just need to finish the web sites, make a trailer, and submit copies to the places I want to sell and/or review it

[SuzuTitor]

When's the projected release right now?

[Josiah]

Hi! Sometime between late next week and mid February on my own site (exact date depending on how long it takes me to get the store and trailer finished), probably a little later on the XBLA indie store and other PC download stores (Steam and others hopefully) since it will need to go through an approval process for them.

[auragongal]

Hi! I'm officially released from therapy yesterday. So, until my next meltdown, I'm free!

[Josiah]

Hi! I picked up some manga and Barnes & Noble today and got into a brief conversation with the girl at the register about the books I got and the Ace Attorney games (I'd gotten a Phoenix Wright manga, among other things). At one point, she mentioned a friend having her translate the Japanese trailer for Professor Layton x Ace Attorney. Shealso mentioned her first name in passing (as part of a direct quote from her friend's request). Going by her apparent age and interests, I figured that there was a good chance she was, or had been, a member of the Japan club I hang out with. Out of curiosity, when I got home I took a look on Facebook and found her in all of 30 seconds, despite incorrectly guessing the spelling of her name. I'm not sure if I should be impressed or kinda creeped out. And now I feel like a little like a stalker...

It really is easy to find people these days if they don't try to hide their online profiles. It's even weirder when I happen to mention a friend's name when talking to my parents (just the first name) and they later ask if I saw some web site or profile related to the person that they came across online. Maybe we're talking this whole information age a little too far...

As a result, I Googled my name (something I haven't done in a while). It pretty much came back with what I expected it to. My Linkedin, my Facebook, Pebble Version, various things related to my textbook, and, if you dig deep enough, a bit about the novel I self published and the college where I'm working right now. My portfolio site didn't show up, though some resumes I'd posted on various Japan job sites did. The only weird thing was some links to a now non-existant youtube video about a CPA with the same name as me.

Ugh... You can tell I'm getting burned out when I'm so easily distracted from work. All this Car Washer launch prep stuff has left me a bit behind. It's Sunday and I don't even have my PowerPoint for tomorrow's game history class done yet. I really should get to work on that...

[Saber Knight]

Hey.

I'm sick and I took medication that's supposed to knock me out but instead I feel ridiculously loopy! Whoooooooo!

I probably shouldn't be on a computer so shhhhhhhh don't tell :)

Sosososo today was one of those days where I feel bad about myself because my sister and her freshman friends have lives and I don'tttt because soy un perdedor (thta was Spansih). They all go to parties and have relationships and allll that stuff and silly prude me has never been kissed aaaaaaaaaaaand I'm 3 years older because YAY that stuff doesn't happen to mee and I feel like it never will and FOREVER ALOONE

Yeah my brain isnt fully functioning right now. Not drunk, I promise... definitely too boring of a person to ever drink. BORING PEOPLE YAAAYYYYYYY

aaaand I should go to be d right now but the medicidne didn't make me drowsy just mildly insane (well more so than I already am, of course)

Ohhh and midterms are over and if I didn't get an A on my BC calc midterm then I dont get an A in the class and MIT Will never love meee

not drunk., I promise. Medicine is bad.

Edit: I am never taking this medicine again. Ever.

[Silver]

Heso! Well, Saber, though you may not be drunk now, I have learned something very important: in the event that you ever DO get drunk, your grammar and punctuation will still be pretty much flawless (a few typos aside, I'm not gonna count them). Why is it so hard for some people to grasp, if you can do it without even paying attention to what you're typing?

Anyways, I'm the oldest person in my family and I was the last one to have any sort of relationship. Yeah, even Melvin beat me to it. When she was five. Now of course Kindergarten boyfriends don't count... but still. The more important point is that Sam had someone in 8th grade and Rebecca did so as a Freshman. I was a Senior. But you know? Those relationships lasted a few months each, and the breakups were messy. Colly and I have been together for three years (ok technically 2.93 years shut up). I think I won.

Also partying leads to alcohol which leads to drunk sex which leads to teen pregnancy which leads to dropping out of high school / taking twelve jobs to pay child support which leads to homelessness which leads to diseases and starvation and death.

[Josiah]

Hi! I'm in agreement with Silver. There's no need to rush things. I'm older than both of you and I'm still waiting to meet the right person. There were girls I probably could have hooked up with for a little while if I tried, but that's not the type of relationship I want. You'll find someone sooner or later. but it's not a race.

[Metalheadz]

Hi! I'm not necessarily looking as of now, but I'm with Josiah. I think you should take your time, Saber. Sometimes it takes many years to find that perfect person for you. You just have to wait until it's the perfect time for you and he to meet up, and only God determines that. :)

Ah, the foolishness at my school. Apparently a huge fight broke out in the hallway today, involving two kids in my classes. Those two got a long time of suspension, one was possibly sent to the hospital. Sometimes it sucks to be human due to seeing the idiocy displayed here and there. Drugs, violence, teen sex, yada yada.

No other news aside from helping out at church, beginning watching Aquarion Evol and everything else on my list, and preparing for track season has been on my to-do list.

Peace out!

[PoisonWing14]

Moi,

I, in all honesty, am probably not going to start looking for a partner until collage or maybe later. Right now, in highschool, most guys still act like the block-heads they were in middle school (And I respect that). I'm just going to wait until I find a mature, caring, gentleman who respects my privacy and ideas, shares similar ideas as I do...and won't continuously beat me at SSBB and chess. That's all I ask for.

In other news, woo, new semester.

Well, I suppose it's not that bad, since this semester I have Studio Art II. It's basically my relaxation period where I can let the stress of the day out...with creativity!

Although...this semester is sure to be...interesting. A whole bunch of my classes got switched around because of this new program/class/thing I'm in. It's specifically for kids who are smart, should be getting great grades, but for one reason or another, that's not quite so. Basically, my schedule has been put into a blender, put on puree, shaken up a bit, and served back to me in a fruity, delicious, but very mixed up, beverage.

Actually, here's a better metaphor. I'm the cute, little, albino lab rat in a maze. I had gotten used to the usual maze that I had been running through daily, Monday through Friday. Now, the scientists have built me a completely new maze, they built a few stairs here and there, maybe even put in a few climbing walls, and they put me in this new maze. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I know that I have to find a way to get to the end of this maze. And you know what, at the end of the day, I don't even get any cheese!

Well, I do have to say, I'm willing to go through this madness to fix up my act a bit. I mean, even I know I could use it.

Anyway, that's all I got. Stay radical peoples!

[Saber Knight]

Hey.

Apparently, when I'm loopy, I like to hold letters for long periods of tiiiiiiiiiiiiiime... Huh.

Meep. And I also get all complain-y and self pity-y... wonder if this is a prelude to what I'll be like if I ever get drunk.

Eh, even if it kind of got brought to the surface yesterday because of my loopy-tude, that whole thing has been something that's been playing around in my head for the past a bit or so. I just sometimes worry that I messed high school up by never really doing the whole relationship thing (well, technically I did, for like a month, but, looking back, that "relationship" was so stupid it doesn't even count) because you're supposed to go out with people so you can find what you like in a partner and what you don't like in a partner and all that stuff. I mean, I've really gotten nowhere, 'cos I don't even know if I'm straight or not (you'd think it'd be obvious, but nooo).

Blah. Stupid rants aside, thanks for the support! Oh, and new semester starts tomorrow... SECOND SEMESTER SENIOR AWW YEE

[Silver]

My advise to you, Poison: start practicing SSBB and Chess. It'll be easy to find a buy that won't constantly beat you if you can constantly beat everyone!

My advise to you, Saber: you don't need to date a bunch of different people to find out what kind of person you want to be with. I'm sure you already know; they're your friends. It's not like you're just going to meet someone one day and suddenly decide you're in love with them. Probably not anyway... usually this stuff starts out as a "just friends" sort of thing and gradually changes. You don't need to know if you;re straight or not; it's not like you have any intention of jumping into bed with a guy and then suddenly realizing, "Nope! I like girls!" ... 'Cause that's about the only case it would be an issue. Based on what you've said, though... Try finding yourself one of these. No, seriously. Best of both worlds.


...What?

No, I mean it! Just... It's not like...

Seriously.

[Josiah]

Hi! Once again, I agree with Silver...right up until that TV tropes link. Sorry pal, but you're on your own there.

[Silver]

Hey, don't knock it 'til you've tried it.

Anyways. You don't have to like them, Josiah, but Saber might. You never know! Alls I'm saying is, if she's a boyish girl, wouldn't a girlish boy be the logical choice?
