Wah -.- I've been sooo busy lately. So much stuff been going on. :o Let's see, weekend before last, these guys from Macon came down here to practice 3S and ish. It wasn't very krunk or anything :o But it's nice to know there's competition around here. =) So the 3 of them, Michael, Jared, and Alex left with Nam from my house at like 3 in the morning. Then me and Raph ended up stay up until like 8 watching BR! x.X

Oh my god, Battle Royale was like the most 'wtf?' movie ever! X.x I can't believe I watched it. So insane! x.X I still dunno what to say about it -.- That girl from Kill Bill owns though :D

I've been getting really good at Photoshop lately, I think :D Lookie at what I made...

^_^ I'm so happy. I also made this Ayumi wallpaper, but it's not that great. -.- I posted it on dA but they took it down so if you want it just ask me for it or something :o I might post it up later

Also I made a website ^_^ It's not too much right now, but I think I'm doing a good job so far! :D Check it out...

+~+ Tasogare Ai +~+

That's like all the html and stuff I've learned over just like the past week ^_^;;; I'm thinking about getting a domain name and hosting and ish. I dunno what domain I should get though -.- I'm thinking about like litterb0x.com :o All the ones I want are all like gone already =/ I dunno -.- Let me know what you think! Any feedback is appriciated ^_^

Actually now that I can make layouts and stuff, maybe I can get rid of this bland LJ/Xanga theme :o I'll try it out later =)

OMG!!! :O The tourney is tommorrow! Pretty much all week I've just been working towards getting ready for it. I was trying to make a stick to sell there, but it looks like I won't have enough time to finish it >.< I'll just keep it for myself X3 It's going to look so hot :o I'll post pics as soon as it's finished. =) Last night me, Tei, Kiyo, Nam, and Darren spent like 3 hours trying to put the 360s in :o They're perfect now though so it's all good ^_^ No worries. I got the old stick out of 3S cabinet now too ^_^ I dunno, after this tourney, I'm just going to chill and concentrate on other things. -.-

Oh yeah, the other night when I was working on my new stick, my dad went to sleep and accidently locked me in the garage x.X So I was like screaming and banging on the door but he couldn't hear me -.- So then I like climb into the attic, which isn't like most attics. You have to like walk on these beams or else you'll fall through the ceiling :o And it's like pitch black up there and I only have a flashlight x.X So anyways I go above his room and start yelling at him to open the door -.- Finally I get out of there -.- I guess I should just be happy SHE didn't rip my jaw off <.<

I always forget to post in this thing. ~.~ I'm so horrible. Lots of ish been happening. =) Let's see...Lots of people been coming over here lately :o Matt, Kiyo, Mosimo, Shifty x.X Always seems like someone's here. Damn kids drinking all my root beer. -.-

I started watching anime again :o FMA, Tenjou Tenge, Samurai Champloo, Gunslinger Girl. ^_^ Anime is so cool. I wonder why I stopped watching it :o Probably because it was becoming all mainstream and stuff -.- Eh, whatever. Now I'm going to be an obese anime nerd :o

I finally reached my 1 million gold goal on GB :o I really need to quit playing that so much -.-

Last Friday I finally got my GED test scores ^_^ 90 percentile + on everything. Funny how I thought I screwed myself on the essay, I actually almost got a perfected on it. o.O On the Reading section though, I did get a perfect =) Contrarily, I did the worst on Math O.o Just making 90 percentile -.- Oh well, I'm glad that's out of the way now. =) Went to FV to treat myself and played Halo 2 ^_^ It was fun, but I just got owned so bad I couldn't even tell what was going on, so no more of that <.< Then I got some ribs at Tony Roma's ^_^ Yum

And now for the big news!!

Wah?!? Now that I write it all out, it seems so...out of my reach. -.- Where am I going to get 1.5k in less than 2 months? =( There's so many varibles to that too. I remember coming back from A-kon I was dead broke -.- And it's been so hard. I haven't been spending hardly any money lately trying to save for that and Christmas. Oh well, I'll make it work somehow. ^_^ I'll just win some money matches or something =)

If by any chance someone wants to come with me, just let me know ^_^ We can split the cost of like gas and hotel.

*sigh* Sometime it feels like all the bad shit in life hits you all at once, eh?

Last weekend was the tourney here at Funsville. Went through the usual no sleeping routine. Blah blah blah. :o I ended up running all over the place making sure everything was running smoothly. I was tired as crap too. ~.~ I bet I looked like a zombie with a pink bandana on. <.< I dunno. I wasn't nervous at this tourney. I guess it was because I was so busy running most of it. Put Raph in the loser's in #R but then lost in the finals. In 3S I lost to Raph and Jae taking 4th. In Marvel I remember snapping out an almost dead character. >.> Overall hangout with everyone at the tourney was cool. After that we all went to Ryan's. I rode with Josh and Ray ^_^ So fun. After Ryan's we went back to the Ville to kill some time before we went to go see The Grudge. Jae paid for my ticket <33 =] That movie sooo owned :D I give it a 8/10. -2 for no plot :o People seem to really not like it though <.< Oh well. After the movie, Mossimo took us home :o Then me and Raph stayed up for another hour making scary scenerios :X At like 5 AM I finally knocked out ~.~ I dunno. That Saturday was such a good day. I wish I had more days like that. =/

So anyways, a few days later on the results thread Nam is getting on the credit for running the tourney. This got me all pissed and ish. I dunno. Like Nam set it up, but at the tourney I think I did 'most' of the grunt work. Not one person mentioned me at all. I mean, I know running tournies is a thankless job and people take it for granted, but when someone else is getting all the props... I dunno. I was kinda depressed about it this past week. I've been ignoring people and I didn't go play any 3S this weekend. I think I've been taking this ish a little too seriously lately. But I'm pretty much over it now.

Looking at how the scene here in AUG has changed is pretty ironic. :o I should write a story about it before I leave. :o

Having my comp hooked up to the TV rocks so much! Thanks Raph! :D

I've been neglecting this thing. =/ Almost 3 weeks since I last updated! :O I guess a lot of stuff has been going on. :o

The other week I took my GED test. Oh my god, it was horrible >.< I had to get up at like 5 something after only sleeping for like 2 hours because I can never sleep when I'm worried about stuff ~.~ So anyways I get there and I'm feeling okie :o The first part was the 2 math parts. That went by pretty easy. I guessed on like 5 problems at the end though :X Then after a small break we go into the Language Arts & Writing part, which is what I was mainly worrying about because I have trouble writing essays fast. -.- I dunno. I mean I just write slow. =/ But lucky the gave both the Language Arts part and essay part at the same time and we had a 2 hour time period to do it. So I'm like, "Okie, I'll just get through the multiple choice part as fast as possible then I'll have a lot of time for my essay." They recommended only using an hour to 45 minutes for the essay. :o So anyways, I go through the multiple choice easy and still have about an hour and 20 minutes for my essay. Then I'm all like, "Yes! This isn't that hard! I have plenty of time for my essay! =)" So I'm just taking my time, and I write a pretty good essay, I think. So there's like 30 minutes left for me to copy the draft to the test page. "I can copy this in 30 minutes."...

...*20 minutes later I look up at the clock* "WTF?!? OH MY GOD I'M NOT EVEN HALF WAY DONE!! >.<" Then I started freaking out. My hand and back are killing me at this point and I'm just trying to work through the pain and concentrate on finishing it before time is up. And I was the only person still working on it at this point. Anyways I messed up on indenting the last paragraph. My handwritting was so sloppy -.- I dunno if they're going to be able to read it. I omitted a few words when I was writing. While I was writing the last sentence the guy giving the test is like, "Ok, sir. I got to take that now." So I finish it up quickly like I didn't hear him and hand it end. I was so stressed then. All these people were staring at me -.- So I just leave the room, half pissed half amshamed that I screwed up so bad. I don't even want to think about it anymore. That's the only part of the test I might fail. Came back. The rest of the test I just ran through, wanting to go home. I'm sure I passed everything but maybe the essay part. It was all easy but that. -.- I maybe guessed on like 5 questions max on the other tests.

Yeah, sucks. =/ Anyways, my friend Mike Nguyen has been coming over a lot these past weeks :o I guess I just like it because he likes some of the same music I like. And he actually like knows the names of some J-rock bands and stuff. Like I can show him videos and stuff. ^_^ I dunno. I guess just because I don't have any friends around here I talk about music with it's nice. :o

Mmm, last weekend me, Tei, Raph, Mike, and Don went to a tourney in Athens. Of course I sucked par usual :o But it was fun hanging out with everyone ^_^ I just never want to sit in the backseat of the Cellica with 2 other people again <.<

Yay! ^_^;;; I got to see my Jessi :3 I had such a wonderful weekend =) Let's see... Thursday, Jessi got here at like 1 am or something crazy from her long, 14ish hour drive. x.X I felt so bad for her. We just hung out and talked for a little bit and then we went to sleep. Friday, I woke up and I think I fixed her computer that morning. :o Then, I dun remember what we did. ^_^;;; I think we were just hanging out at my house. ^_^ Then at night we went to Funsville for a long time :O I was practicing and stuff for the tourney the next day, then I lost track of time x.X So we left Funsville at like 3 am and Jessi, Tei, and I went to Waffle House to get some food. =] The waiter was really nice :o Some middle aged guy. Jessi paid for all of us. =) So nice she is. ^_^

So Saturday. Tourney day. :o Now for some reason lately before tournies, I can't sleep. I dunno why. I stress out so bad over it and it shouldn't even be such a big deal. Then I'm tired at the tourney and suck. And this time I tried so hard to get a goodnight sleep. But being the huge loser I am, I wake up at like 8 am. <.< So I freak out even worse and contemplated trying to stay up or taking a sleep pill. :o I took the sleep pill. ~.~ So then I slept from like 9 to 11 and then got ready to go. Of course CW is running the tourney and it starts like an hour late. Blah, I won't even talk about everything that went wrong at that thing. I posted about it on the results thread anyways :o And like half way through the tourney I started shaking and I knew I was going to lose my next match -.- I dunno. I can just go into playing in a tourney feeling confident about myself. If I try, I always end up doubting myself in the end and I play like crap. I got to be arrogant and cocky. If I played like I normally do, I would have won the last matches I play. But... I dunno, I'm just making excuses. I'm a scrub and I need to stop being one. -.- But reguardless, I had a lot of fun at the tourney. Saw some new people and learned a couple of things. Plus hanging out with all of my friends and my girlfriend is always fun ^_^

After the tourney, me and Jessi went out shopping. :D I got her a Jack Skellington head pillow and some socks. And I got two Express button up shirts for myself ^_^ One white and one lime green :o Then we were like tired so we came home and crashed. -.- Sunday, we just stayed at home. Practiced 3S for a long time :o Then we watched this movie Jessi has been bugging me to see for like months. Master and Commander. It was okie. :o Then we were online talking to Nani and watching vids on our computers until we went to sleep ~.~

Monday, Jessi left. And I was sad. And I have been ever since. ;_; *sigh* I miss her.

This week Tei has been coming over like everyday and we been playing a lot of 3S :o Which is good because I definately need practice -.- Oh my god, yesterday I was just looking at stuff on the internet(not pr0n you pervs <.<) and I got this virus and spyware and crap. I was so pissed! >.< I just reinstalled windows last week and got stuff set up then this happens. And worst of all I accidently erased all my CS stuff(which is a lot)! >.< I'm just not going to play CS anymore. So anyone have another FPS to recommend me? :X I'm thinking I'll just wait until that new CS comes out. :o I dunno. I don't like stuff messing with my computer. >.>

Oh my god! >.< I got to take my GED test in a week! :O I'm not ready! -.- I mean, I'll pass it easy, but I want to get like a perfect. :o I'm just going to concentrate on studying for it this week. :X
