It's Personal...

I just got off work.

I feel great.

I don't know why. But I fully intend to hang onto this and then open up the damn throttle and kick some ass at work tomorrow.

I mean I feel really fucking great. Like I'm doing great, I'm healthy and strong and fast and the weather's getting nicer and I've got a new book to read, I've got friends and family and a dog and I'm going to enjoy the hell out of this.

Lucky bastard.

I think I may have felt like that in the past, but it's been a long time, so I can't be sure it was that good, and it definitely didn't last that long.

Good luck keeping your euphoria as long as possible.

So yesterday at work I wasn't feelin' too great, since I didn't get a very good nights sleep the night before. But I was determined to push through it with an uncharacteristic good attitude. Things went okay for a while, and one of my coworkers asked me if I wanted to smoke some weed with him (I declined). Then I was asked to take out the trash. Okay, not something I like doing, but whatever. But here's where things started to take a turn for the worse. The first sign of trouble was that there was an absolutely MASSIVE hornet buzzing around the dumpster, forcing me to throw the trash bags from a far into the thing - often missing - and running like hell before the yellow bastard knew what was going on. But that wasn't the worst bit. When I was changing one of the outside trashcans, there was ANOTHER bug... a gigantic beetle, blacker than the soul of Beelzebub, just sitting on the can, bold as can be, a brazen beast from the depths of Hell. And it was just really. Fucking. BIG. Like, the size of my thumb... which, really, I guess isn't TOO huge, but it's still bigger than a bug has any right being. Anyway, this horrid creature from the depths of man's nightmares lunged at me and chased me around the outside of the establishment, assaulting my sanity with it's very presence. I managed to give the demon the slip by running into the store and slamming into the inside doors.

But that wasn't the end. The gibberous hellion had wormed it's way into my fevered imaginations, and oft my mind would cast back to that harrowing meeting, and I would break out in terror once more.

Which is really inconvenient when your trying to pour hot coffee and your arm is shivering and spilling the shit everywhere. And the thing is STILL givin' me the creeps.

Ah, well. At least I got paid for all that.

It seems that the law that states that anyone can get a free credit report once a year applies to everyone except me, I just tried to get one and I was told to fuck off by the website...

I'll hit up my bank tomorrow when I have a ride and get one from them. Trying to buy a car and I want to make sure everything bad on my credit score is nice and disputed...

So, been accepted into the Ignite 2015 competition. I go to a lesson/seminar on elevator pitches on the 22nd, then there's a pitch competition on the 30th.

Now I just need to figure out how to clue in the judges about what the fuck roleplaying games are and the needs I'm filling are.

Grandpa passed away this morning while I was walking the dog. He had just had a wash and shave, and was awake for that, but then went to sleep and... didn't wake up. He knew that would happen at some point this week or the next, and at least he didn't suffer. Also he was at no point "away with the fairies", so while he was alive, he had his faculties.

The doctor is here for the usual drill. Now it's a matter of letting family know. Much like with dad, I sort of already did my mourning while seeing him in an unwell state, now I'm glad he died peacefully and we managed to make him comfortable until then.

Sorry for your loss, Koumei, but also glad that he was able to go on his terms and not in pain.

Maxus · Post by **Maxus** » Tue Sep 15, 2015 3:19 am

Oh, Koumei, I'm so sorry.

My thoughts are with you, Koumei.

My deepest sympathies, Koumei.

I'm sorry, Koumei.

Sorry Koumei.

Dying in our old age while we sleep is about the best scenario we can realistically hope for. Still, my condolences, Koumei.

I don't know, I'm still kind of hoping to die in my old age in an orchestrated sword fight. Or at least something like this:

Saw Arkona with one of my GFs last night. Masha Scream is surprisingly tiny, but holy crap she's got a lot of energy on stage. Definitely seeing them again next time they come around.

Lovecraft's apartment from '26-'33 is available for rent.

I have been considering switching pieds-Ã -terre, and although at the roughest of estimates it looks like a ~25-33% markup for historical interest one could at least throw the most exclusive party at NecronomiCon.

i have started to dream in anime . .
not about specific anime, but random crap dreams that just look like anime to me x.x
i am a bit confused by this, seeing how i haven't actually watched any anime in the last few months or so . .

the only thing i remember about my dream last night is the concept that is basically street sharks meets mahou shojou:
the daily life of fish girls <.<

Maxus · Post by **Maxus** » Sat Sep 19, 2015 6:24 pm

Holy shit, Street Sharks. I haven't thought of that in ages. It came on before school and I watched the shit out of it while I ate my breakfast.

Shrapnel · Post by **Shrapnel** » Sat Sep 19, 2015 10:25 pm

Ah, Street Sharks. Before Transformers, that was my main thing. 'Course, I don't remember anything 'bout it besides the fact that there was a Batmanta dude, who I still have the toy of. Somewhere.

Prak · Post by **Prak** » Sat Sep 19, 2015 11:19 pm

I remember it well. I also remember it was basically a blatant rip off of TMNT updated for the nineties. This doesn't make it bad, it's just true.

Stahlseele · Post by **Stahlseele** » Sat Sep 19, 2015 11:46 pm

No, THAT doesn't make it bad . .
It was bad though, let us not kid ourselves here.
We only enjoyed it because we were kids then.
And kids are stupid like that.
