When The World Was All Just Me and Paul

Hey readers, sorry for the lack of postings as of late. Things are too hectic out here, and Spring Break could not be more welcome at this time. ROAR.

I've been playing the shit out of Pokémon Black lately, and I have to say, I am still in love with this game. It's freaking awesome. That's all on that though.

<whine>I've done a lot of worrying about things that I don't have much control over (or, really, don't currently have much control over). And it has taken its toll on me. I screwed up one midterm. I barely made it through another. And overall, I've been way angrier and more stressed than I usually am (I'm known for a happy and overbearing disposition). I complain a lot, but I do make an effort to not do so.

In all honesty, I just wish everyone could get along. Things would be so much easier like that.

The only negative effect that this could have is the loss of hardcore music to the world. That'd be a damn shame, but hell, who gives a fuck?

I thought that by the time I got to college, I would have friends and peers that didn't act like high-schoolers. I really hate being wrong. I absolutely hate it. When I'm wrong, things are bad. Almost always. I prefer being right all the time (yes, I'm full of myself, deal with it).

At least spring break is two days away for me. And for the first time in a semester and a half of college, I'm actually happy to go home. Because while I only have three real friends back home, who, I might add, are just as drama filled as my friends at Purchase, I'm not having any problems with them. Nor do I have to bring any drama in to that circle.

I'm just sick of all the bullshit that goes on here when people get sick of each other. And I'm sick of being the one person that just wants everyone to get along all the time, because I end up caught in the cross-fire of any freaking argument my friends might have. </whine>

My break will consist of a bunch of things I do anyway at school. Except I won't have the guilt of not doing homework riding on my back this time.

Things I'm Going to Do During Break
F) Play Dragon Age II
R) Not be a journalist
E) Probably get better at Halo: Reach again
E) Finish Pokémon Black
T) Build my Pokémon team for tournaments
I) Start reading books again
M) JOB TRAINING
E) Convince my parents to get me an iPhone for my birthday.

About that last part; I'm not spoiled. I'm turning 20. I want an iPhone. I'll probably end up paying for half of it. Roar.

I will be relaxing. I will worry about nothing. And I'll LOVE IT. And when I come back to school, shit better get fixed, because I'm not going to let moronic drama throw off my groove anymore this semester.

Also, I miss my mom and her cooking. Say my mom's not the best cook in the world. I dare you. I'll beat a six year old up for saying shit like that.

Today's song is a personal favorite.
"Ode to Kevin Arnold"
By Ludo
Off of the album "Ludo"

I think that I'll be listening to Ludo through April. They're happy as fuck. That'll get rid of all this drama.

I want a cupcake.

He Owes Me One Last Wish

I can't believe it's been about two weeks since my last post. I must have dropped the ball or something.

Well, maybe for a week. But the week that just passed, well, that was Pokémon Black's fault entirely. It's absolutely fantastic, and I couldn't be happier about buying it (which is odd, since I have been regretting many release-date purchases as of late).

Also, I've been stressed out about my job as a reporter, and that's led me to being sick, which I'm pretty sure I am today. Lovely.

First off, I've started a new series of sketches, which, if you've read some of my older posts, I do from time to time, but never upload. I'll start uploading all of them soon. I don't know where. I don't know if you care. They're going up though.

Back on topic, I've decided to start drawing my favorite new Pokémon. You'll find that most of them are the adorable ones. I like the badass looking dragons, but they're just not as fun and cuddly as the cute ones. Snivy is the best.

I'm actually surprised at how well my first attempt at drawing a Pokémon free-hand, without a guide, came out. And by that I mean it's actually really accurate. Yes, there are minor errors. But they are minor. Even I'm pleased with how it came out, and that barely ever happens on the first try.

On another note, a horrible thing happened at Purchase a week ago today. We lost power for about 18 hours. Which is a long time, especially when your DS is dead. And even more so when the new Pokémon game you've been waiting over a year for just came out the night before. Damn it all. At least I got to go out for wings because of it.

What actually concerns me (more than that serious lack of Pokémon bonding time) is the fact that half of my college went primal, in a Lord of the Flies-esque way. There was a huge bonfire, jungle drums, and fireworks. Fireworks. Seriously? Who the hell has fireworks in the middle of March? That's just insanity.

Why does no power all of a sudden mean no rules? It's not like we were in an apocalypse. There was no power. And most of my campus didn't do this, it was just one residential section that went insane. It's funny, but it's also concerning. Especially since they're all hippies, and I didn't know hippies believed in fireworks.

Back on the subject of Pokémon, I am kicking myself for catching for nature and screwing that up. Stupid Victini.

List!

My Favorite NEW Pokémon!
B) Victini
L) Zorua
A) Snivy
C) Haxorus
K) Krookodile

Also, my down key on my laptop is wonky. Great news there, yup.

Today's song:
Song: Jude Law and a Semester Abroad
Band: Brand New
Album: Your Favorite Weapon

Time to go tell my boss I'm sick. Woo.
