Eh, I just like saying that.

As I promised (no-one in particular) here is the links for my semi-completed comic. I'd appreciate it if you guys would check it out, comments would be loved as well since this is able the first comic I've ever done. And entirely on the computer as well. Talk about tiring.

http://agent-tetora.deviantart.com/gallery/

That's the gallery, the pages are in there and I'd recommend everyone reading the Hunter 101 page I did. That'll help if you're not familiar with WoD or HtR.

Well that's it. Now time to get me some rest!!! ^^

I haven't written in here in ages. A lot of stuff has been going on, not just work, but I just don't have the time or drive to account it in here. I'll still post occasionally and you'll see a picture every now and again. The main reason for this is because I'm going to be focusing on my Deviant Art account. I'd really appreciate it if you guys checked it out and comments and criticisms would be fucking awesome. I don't think many people read this nowadays, but if you do and wonder what I'm up to then wander on over to DA. I'll be there, uploading the random crap I create.

Of course I'll still end up posting links up for the comic battle Smitty and I are having. So look forward to that. His offering is going to be so much cooler than mine. But either way you're going to be looking at some quality entertainment.

So here's the link to my DA. Hit it up some time. I'll try to keep the updates coming because with luck work should be a bit more calm and I'll have some time.

I'm pretty sure that by "motherf*cker" I meant work. Well kinda sure anyway.

( Click for lame drawing of me being shot in the brain )

I can't be bothered blogging anything right now. But I just finished this, when I really ought to be sleeping, so I thought I'd post it up?

Why?

Eh, I dunno. Seemed like the thing to do. Comments and Criticisms are very welcome. Especially on the coloring since I'm a n00b when it comes to that.

Cheers.

I'm so fucking tired... and hungry. I'm writing this for myself, so I can look back on it and wonder what the fuck am I doing. This job I have now, it's starting to look like it's really not worth it. Last night I worked a 20 hour shift. The normal day shift, coming in an hour early to do paperwork, then I had to stay back to 'supervise' some contractors fixing our security system and replace our front door to the shop. It was ridiculous. Thankfully Matt came in and we hung out for a while, which was awesome of him, but I made him go home when it hit 10. He's working the morning shift today.

I, on the other hand, am working today still anyway. Despite getting out of that fucking pit at 4 in the morning. I totally fell asleep driving home but only for like 5-10 seconds, I think. Regardless, something is looking out for me, there are so many times I should have died by now *lol*.

Anyway... work is fucking lame. Yesterday was a shit day anyway. My full-timer got sick, leaving me and my very pregnant casual to work by ourselves. No lunch break again for me. I swear, I've evolved. I don't need to eat, sleep or have a life any more. It's seriously starting to piss me off.

Though, I did get my training paperwork done. And by that I said 'Matt, can you just sign this and say we did it?' and he did. We're quite awesome.

I also finished a draft for a 'prequel' comic (forgive the bad terminology, I'm goddamn tired) for the comic battle. It's a bit cheesy but I think it'll look alright after I pretty it up.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is a rather amusing. I need to watch more of that series. The closing theme/animation makes me happy. Crazy, in-sync J-pop style dancing is wonderful.

Ugh, I need a shower, I smell like sawdust...

Another belated post. Not that I have much to write about or many people to inform, but I feel compelled to keep using this journal.

Things just keep getting busier and busier. I'm slowly learning to cope with the renewed insomnia and high levels of stress. I'll emphasise that this is a slow and gradual process. I'm either adapting to the stress or the fact it's fucking me up. At least the money is alright.

So, what's been going on? I went to a wedding on the weekend, which means I missed Supernova. I heard it wasn't that great anyway. Alex picked me up something there too, so I'm more excited about that than anything. I'm surprised he offered to get me some stuff, so that was a cool little moment for me. I spent more time with Monique and that's always cool. We saw Amy and Daniel's new house which is all carpeted and looking rather sexy. In a new-building kind of way. I swear we must have looked like little kids though. Daniel was showing everyone around and Amy, Monique and I all crashed in their living room. And by crashed I mean fell asleep. It just paints an amusing mental image, two 19 year olds and a 21 year old curled up in an otherwise empty room, sleeping in the middle of the day. Would have made a neat photo.

I've been slowly catching up on my anime that's been laying around. Watched more FMA, which I love, and finally saw the rest of Beck. I totally love that series. I almost hope it never gets a western release because I'm sure the dub would be terrible. There's so much Engrish in that anime; which is probably why I love it so much. Engrish rocks.

Ugh... I just remembered that I have heaps of paperwork to do for the training session I did a little while ago. What a pain. It'd be okay if it wasn't stuff I already knew. I hate redundancy. Yep, train me to sell things... I've only been doing it for a few years. I mean, I'm an assistant manager, I obviously don't know what I'm doing. Actually, that's kinda true some times *lol*. Makes things interesting at least!

I bought a bass guitar. Got an amp, case and all the rest of it for $399. I haven't had the time to even tune it though. There's just no time nowadays. It's beyond me how people can work and have relationships and raise families. It really is. I can only hope that the more I get used to work the more time it'll feel like I have. But the guitar itself is very cool. I've even named it *lol*. My cousin,Ben, who's been playing guitar for 17 years said he'll give me lessons. I thought that was really cool. He's an awesome guy. I'm looking forward to learning how to play.

Having time to draw would be nice too...

And cause the guys at work all play World of Warcraft I ended up picking up a copy myself to try out. I'm liking it so far and it's hard to stop playing when I'm on there. But I'm like that with any game. I can't see myself getting addicted like some (most?) people, but then again, I never really have had an addiction. Save for anime and manga I suppose. But the game itself is pretty cool. The missions aren't really involved enough to get me hooked. You can only collect items from killing things for so long before it make you want to kill yourself. I'm sure there's more to it than that though. I'm almost hoping I don't discover exactly what because that'll be more reasons to keep playing. The game really does scare me, from what I've heard about it. Hell, I wanna learn how to play my bass anyway.

May as well write about my cute, lil subordinates; since I seem to do that now. The girls are awesome. They actually look after me, which can be a little embarrassing. The guys can be annoying. Well, Dave's always late and Scott likes to talk back. He's just an irritating person. Okay sometimes, but then he can just get on my nerves. It's weird. And back to Dave, he's leaving at the end of the week when he goes off to get married. He'll be back in a month (maybe?) and we should be getting someone new in. Makes it hard to work when we don't know who we can have on or what we're meant to be doing. Hmmm, Amy should be going on leave sometime soon too. I might offer my services as a babysitter when she eventually has the kid. She's really cool. Jen and Naomi are cool too, but I feel bad for Naomi. I had to make her go to training and she really didn't want to. She'll get paid more going there for the day than working the crappy little shift we can give her, so hopefully that's okay. Hopefully.

Anyway, enough ranting from me. I better get me some sleep. It's another day at my lovely, half-torn-down store tomorrow. Oh, we did get to tear down some walls and smash some old stuff. That was pretty sweet.

First of all, I'm tired. Really tired. I don't think I've been so busy in my life. I'm also sure I've driven more in the past week than I usually do in a month. My poor car...

So, where to start? I spent last weekend largely in the company of Monique. We had leisurely night-time strolls, loitered at restaurants and watched anime. She's really cool. I met some new people on the weekend, namely Josh and Joanne... which is funny because they're a couple that both start with J. Anyway (can't you tell I'em tired?)... When did I meet them? After church. Yep, I went to church, twice, on the weekend. Am I a born-again christian? Hell no, that term sounds so goddamn hokey anyway. I was just interested as a lot of people I know are rather devout and I'm always interested in religion and such. It was a pretty good experience and it was all rather upbeat. People didn't seem to mind how I questioned just about everything, or when I ate their cookies. They were pretty good cookies.

Got to hang out with Alex again and that's always a good time. We just geek out rather strongly and I'm always cool with that. He needs to stop giving me anime to watch though. I'm not even done with Beck yet and I have like 3 more series to catch up on, not to mention the 8 DVDs I've bought and haven't watched. Blah, work is eating my time. I have started watching Ergo Proxy (it's made by the guys who did Samurai Champloo) and that's rad, I also watched some Kyo Kara Maoh and I found that to be really amusing.

Speaking of work, that's where things went a bit crazy. I started at the new job on monday. I wanted to cry when I saw the place, there's so much work to do. I've been getting there early and staying back late in an attempt to get things done and it's just taking so long. The staff don't give a damn and the manager is pretty lazy. Needless to say I've been working harder than I've worked in a long time and I'm a bit lost, to tell you the truth. I can do it, but I feel I'm about to break. I'm getting used to things though and I'm getting rather adept at sorting problems I normally don't get to deal with. The staff are now relying on me and that makes me happy. They trust me and rely on my authority and I'm glad that's happening so early. The staff are pretty cool too. Naomi is a great worker, though Amy is trying to take her from me. Jen is a bit slow but an awesome salesperson. I honestly don't know how she does it. Scott was... ehhh, I don't really know. Matt is a little lazier than I imagined him to be and Dave... well, I had issues with Dave but I think we're working out just fine now. I've been hard on him but he's shaping up and I think he's not too bothered now. Matt seems to be impressed with how much I get done, unfortunately it seems to make him feel like he can slack off more. It's hard but I'll make that store work. At least I have the weekend off again.

And we're going camping. I wish I wasn't, to be honest. I adore camping. I really do. But I don't have anything to do at a campsite. I'm going to be bored and frustrated and honestly, I'd rather stay home and chill out and maybe go out and see some people. I'd like to be able to see Monique and Alex again, since I didn't get to on Tuesday (we were meant to but Amy was sick). Oh well, maybe another time I suppose.

Well, that's my not exciting post. I can't see anyone getting anything interesting about this. It's largely me bitching about stuff *shrugs*.

One day left til my sexy weekend off. One day working at Yamanto... it will be interesting.

Anyway, I was just thinking about RP stuff thanks to one of Esh's posts and started musing on Promethean, the new WOD game that White-Wolf are bringing out. All I've seen is a one-page teaser and sadly I've fallen prey to its intended purpose- to pique curiosity. Is there any way I can find out more about it? I might scour for information when I have the time. I think it's due out in a couple of months anyway (EDIT: August 2006).

But what I'd really like to see is a Hunter: Second Edition. That game deserves more cred.

I also have some tutes for PS; I'm going to start playing around with that on this weekend hopefully. I'm also thinking a haircut is in order.

Eh, now it's time to sleep. I'm hoping this post will remind me of some of the many things I have to do.

This is what happens after... I don't know how many days I've had to work straight now. I think I'm onto day 9? Two more days and I get the weekend off. You better believe I'm looking forward to it.

Anyway, onto my crappy, though hopefully amusing, picture!

And in other art-related news I started looking up Photoshop tutorials today. It's all quite lost on me but I'll start working on it eventually.

( Just two more days damnit )

Man I'm tired. Things have just been so busy and stressed out lately. I'd kill for some time to myself. And I wouldn't mind knowing what's going on with everything too. I don't even know if I'm working tomorrow.

Complaining aside, things are still happening. It's not all bad. Had to go into the city for training yesterday and ended up having to work after that. Also been watching more Beck episodes and that series is just really cool. The animation and art is all quite loose but it looks great. There's lots of Engrish too so that's an automatic-win for me. There should be episodes out there if people want to check it out, I recommend that you do.

I've been a little sad that I'm going to a new shopping center (for work). I never realised how many people I know and talk to in that place. But, as Amy reassured me, there are still going to be people to talk to wherever I go. I just realised I have these little relationships with people and now that's over. Eh, not like it matters but it is a little sad saying goodbye to something/someone.

I got to drawing last night as well, though I was super-tired. This was also done in MS Paint again, since I haven't had the time to load Photoshop let alone learn how to use it. I might just do that on my next day off. Anyway, this is Jacob and Noah for those who don't know who they are. I haven't drawn anything Hunter-related in a while and missed it. So, here they are:

( Sing Sing Death House )

Lots of things have been going on lately. I've put my new computer together, I'm still promoted but I'm getting a transfer to another store. Though it's further away I'm thinking it will be better. I'll learn a lot more and I'll get to meet some new people. Talking to my bosses today was a lot of fun. They were really good about telling me all the news and goings on in the company. They told me to work hard and I'll show up the manager, and take over the store, in no time *lol*. I like when people have faith in me.

Well there's lots going on really. I don't know what's happening when, but I'm happy anyway. Things seem to be going really well. Even if I just realised I'm on a monthly salary now. So after this week, I won't be getting paid for a month. It's going to be crazy! I'll still try to go out clubbing if I can afford it (I've got a couple of grand to last me so I can't see it being a problem anyway). I can't wait to go out places again. I might even have the time to get myself a girlfriend or two. That'd be nice.

Just watched an episode of Beck before. Alex burnt them for me. It's looking promising and I'm digging the animation. I'm loving my band anime/manga. I've been reading a lot of Nana lately too. Good stuff all in all. Makes me almost miss being a punk *lol*.

Anyway, time for me to get some sleep. I was tempted to trim my hair but I might leave it til after work tomorrow. My eye-sight is going and I'm tired, I don't trust myself right now *lol*. I'm sure I could have come out with an original look, but it's not worth the possibility of losing an ear or something ^_^.

Ah, so random... it's time for bed.

I'm referring to my brand new 19" LCD monitor. It's so goddamn, freakishly huge and bright and so fucking awesome. I road-tested the fucker with Advent Children and just "wow". That's all I can say.

Oh, and not just a new monitor. I have a new computer sitting across from me too. I haven't the time to set it up right now since I was out for my step-brother's birthday. Anyway, it's a P4 processor, 3.0GHz, and it's just going to be insane. INSANE I tell you. I can't wait to start making art with this thing. That is if reading manga won't make my head explode.

If I'm slow talking to you on AOL or MSN, it's because you're looking so much prettier than I'm used to. Goodbye crappy 15" monitor, hello portable sun thingy!

Now all I need to do is name it... ah, and in other news I finally picked up Project Zero 3 today! Only $50! I also found a copy of Marvel VS Capcom 2!!! I'm super excited about playing that game again. I had my last copy stolen from me. I wonder if I still have my save file? Oh! And I have My Neighbour Totoro!!! I love that movie so freaking much!

Yep, I'm very happy with my purchases of late. Better yet, I'm not broke.

Let's get things started. Here's something you all need to know:

( We all know it's true )

I'm hoping we're all suitably amused, now for the explanation. I could be a bit creative and artistic and write everything with a flourish or touch of drama... but that's so much effort. I doubt anyone will remember this, mainly because I don't think I wrote it on LJ, but the assistant manager position I was getting trained for wasn't available anymore. Not to me anyway. We had to re-apply for our jobs, because of the change in ownership of the company I'm working for, and I didn't even know if I was even going to have a job. That kinda sucked. I was pretty pissed about it. But last week I heard we're keeping our current positions but with the exclusion of Peter who was going to be assistant manager. Damn him and his promotiony stuff!

So the higher-ups were discussing future management of my store and Peter came into conversation and how he might not be best for the job. Remember that boss I was talking about (the one that checked me out at the christmas party)? Guess who's name she dropped? They got to talking, they got a backed-up opinion from my current boss and guess who's going to be assistant manager in two weeks? Guess who's going to be earning $500 less a year than his sister (who is a manager)? If you guessed Macguyver you'd be horribly wrong! As cool as he is, we're talking about me here! Oh yeah, Dylan, the assistant manager. I could have my own store in a couple of months if I work hard enough.

After all that BS everything worked out! I'm going to be starting on $35,500 a year, which is likely to get higher as I prove myself. Oh and that's without bonuses and holiday pay. And I'll be getting every second weekend off (I haven't had a weekend off since christmas, and god knows when before that!)! I can party again! Expect to hear of some crazy antics. So, the next two weeks are going to be tough with me learning EVERYTHING there is to know, then re-learning it when we get a new manager. I'm looking forward to it. Now if only I could get over being sick! *lol*

Remember me saying how I wanted to hang out with Monique more? Well I got to see her again yesterday and that was cool. She wasn't feeling to great though so I looked after her as best I could. Sometimes I wish I wasn't so motherly. It's just not sexy *lol*. Seriously though, I enjoy her company. She's nearly as odd as I and it's fun to just say things to one another and trip out at how strange we are... I guess you had to be there. Good thing you weren't or you'd be cramping my style, fool! Gettin' up in my grill like a muthafucka. I be cappin' yo ass. Fo shizz and word. Uh, anyway, she's neat. I don't think Daniel is comfortable with me talking to her (yeah, she's his sister and my (possible) future sister-in-law) but that's his deal. I haven't molested her yet and I srsly doubt that's going to happen. If not only because I'm scared he'll eat me... *insert nervous laughter here*

I've been cooking a lot too since Amy and Daniel have moved back in. I've also started cooking on the BBQ, which is so Australian it hurts but it's about time I learnt how to, and I'm really good at it. I proclaimed quite loudly, after some rum and cooking, that Daniel and I are the new undisputed kings of BBQ (even though I did all the cooking). I'd say it's pretty bloody close. I reckon I'd give Dad a run for his money. I've also gotten awesome at cooking anything with a wok and I'm getting better at baking. Yeah, even though I'm sick, I'm still doing most of the cooking. But that's cool. I like it.

I can't really think of anything else to write. I need to shower, do some housework and maybe go out to buy a PS2 game (if Project Zero 3 is here yet T.T) or two (I wouldn't mind Metal Slug 4/5). Yep, might draw too if I feel up to it.

Had an awesome dream last night. A welcome change from the constant nightmares I've been having. I dreamed that I was having a normal conversation with Nihei Tsutomu (mentioned in last post. He's the author/artist of Blame!, Biomega, Net Sphere Engineer and all round kickass artist. It was really really neat in a random kind of way. The weird thing is that we were talking in English, and hell, I don't even know what the guy actually looks like. It was still cool though. He was trying to give me tips and I was just excited to be talking to a rad manga artist *lol*.

Also talked to Monique last night. That was fun as well. I don't get to chat to her too often and I enjoy her company. Maybe we'll get to talk more often in the future?

Finished reading Uncivilized Planet last night. That was different. Jiro Matsumoto's work is so amazing. I love how every main character he creates (usually) is insane. I love it.

Apart from that I'm losing my voice. It makes work lame and about 31873986 times harder than normal. The best bit is that two of the higher ups are coming in today and god knows how I'm going to impress them when I can't even talk. I'm pretty sure that today I could do with a little bit of luck... and sleep *lol*. So here's to hoping this works out.

Time to get ready for work...

Why is it that no one laughs?

So the other day I finally got my tablet. That was a mission bloody months in the making. I'm super glad I have it now though I have been a bit apprehensive about starting on photoshop. Just knowing the kinds of things people can make with that program, to be honest it's really daunting for me. I don't like being bad at something. Everyone says it's easy but I don't know if people understand what I'm feeling. I want to just be good at it. I like being a natural at things. I just know this won't be the case this time and that's really weird. I can't think of an equivalent but I just don't want to be going backwards with my art. I think that's what I'm worried about the most.

But I am happy that I have it. Amy has also found a good computer for me to get and the best thing about that is that it won't set me back nearly as much as I intended to spend! I might talk to her more about that and then I just need a new set-up for my room and we're all good to go. Well, we're probably "good to go" now too *lol*. I just feel like a change. I think I could do with one.

I also finished Fatal Frame 1 today. It took me a while! I was getting seriously scared near the end, I thought I might not be able to get through the game. You really do need to use about every item you come across in that game. I even resorted to a stone mirror or three. Okay, no one knows what I'm talking about, but it's a big deal to me. I didn't even use one in FFr2! And speaking of the Fatal Frame/Project Zero games the third installment is meant to be out here already but nowhere has it. Probably a good thing since I only just finished the first. I should start playing DDR again now that I'm finished with it. I miss playing that game.

I finally purchased a copy of Shaun of the Dead too! I'm so happy about that! I've been wanting that movie for ages and ended up finding a copy. I intend to educate Amy and Daniel before they leave. I adore that movie.

I've been reading and looking at a lot of Tsutomu Tohei artwork lately. Namely Biomega, Net Sphere Engineer and the Blame! And So On artbook. His work is so amazing. I've been consciously making an effort to really look at the artwork in manga. I will look over art but never really pay too much attention to it. I read manga for the stories *lol*. I still love the art and it does play a big part in my interests, look at my own creations if you don't believe me, but I tend to speed-read through manga. Paying attention to details really has helped me a lot lately. My characters have that much more expression and instead of copying styles I'm interpreting works in my own way, evolving my own style as I'm learning from the masters *lol*. I've also been inspired by the oddness of Jiro Matsumoto's work. To the point of giving me yet more ideas for manga. I have two now that I really want to work on. Best yet though is that this latest idea integrates romance and horror. Oh with more than a dash of "fucked up" in there too, for flavor ^_~.

I seriously recommend that people go over to the wonderful people at http://omanga.net and leech some of that stuff. Keep in mind the things there are a bit... okay, very dark, twisted and often disgusting, but goddamn it's well done. When you adapt to it it's really addictive. I highly recommend MPD Psycho, Freesia and the Skyhigh (Tsutomu Takahashi rawks) series *lol*.

Lately I've been having a lot of nightmares. Some have been so wonderfully strange though! One was where I was dreaming and nothing made sense, then I woke up as someone else, and it was their dream. I was all, "Good work subconscious, nice fix for the plot hole." Seriously, everything was really bizarre. Another was where I bought a PSP and that really upset me. The whole time I was telling myself that I didn't want it and that it was a waste. I was opening it after taking it home and thinking that I couldn't bring it back and that I should have gotten a DS *lol*. I never knew that I felt so strongly about that.

What really fucked with me was a dream where I was in an accident and I lost my right arm. Okay, make all your jokes, it's alright. Get it out of your system. I always used to think that I would be upset if I lost my ability to draw. Let me say that that's a vast, vast, understatement. I've never been so devastated in all my life. Just knowing that my one talent was taken from me. Knowing that I had no chance of making anything of myself. I was really pissed cause I just bought the tablet too. But seriously, it hurt. If something like that happened, I'd lose more than a hand or arm. I was borderline suicidal and I'm only hoping that the dream is only an exaggeration of how I would feel in that situation. Not only that, every instance where I would do something reminded me that things couldn't be the same. You really don't realize how much you appreciate something til it's gone.

Here's to hoping I'll never have to deal with that. I just can't help but think that I will.

EDIT: Did a drawing just now. Nothing special, and another 5 minute job. Thought I'd put it up anyway.
( Yeah, another paint pic )

But paint will have to do for now. I was struck by inspiration in the later hours of the day and I think I have a fairly original and solid concept for my horror manga. So I thought I'd do some drawings.

This is rough and just something off the top of my head. I'll work on concept sketches and plot-lines soon enough but everything should be pretty easy to work with. I'll leave the plot aside for now and just show ya'll what I came up with.

( WARNING: Paint images ahead! )

Another art post, even though my last wasn't as well received as usual T,T.

Anyway, this is me getting used to my tablet and playing with it and doing drawings that Mina told me to do. I'll do them in the order of completion. The more I did the crappier they got, but they only took like a minute each. I need to find some decent software because MsPaint doesn't really cut it.

I'll do a proper post laterz.

( fear the mspaint skills!!! )

Been a while since one of these has shown up huh? I did a couple of pictures today for the hell of it. None of them took me more than 15 minutes a hit, so don't expect much in the way of quality *lol*.

The first two pictures are of ghosts. Practice for the horror manga, if you will. The third is a random pic of a guy in a mech suit. I was inspired by Void Battles and created Mantis on the spot.

Oh and I know the anatomy is way off on the ghosts. It's meant to be. Criticism is welcome though!

"I seriously need to lay off the drugs." I don't know how many times I've found myself saying that over the past few days. Things have been pretty crazy of late.

I'll blame that on the 6 day working weeks I've been pulling. One day off a week sucks, but at least the money is alright. I have a day off tomorrow in fact and I'm greatly looking forward to it. I'm not sure what I'm doing with it yet. I may venture into the city for a tablet and a copy of Project Zero 3, which was not at the local EB. In other gaming news I found out that Guitar Heroes is in fact coming to Australia. The date is "TBA" but I can live with that.

I'm slowly plodding through PZ1 (or FFr1, depending on which side of the world you're on) and that's been excellent. It's been giving me plenty of ideas for my horror manga and it's just a fun time in itself. I can understand the gripe about the camera control but I find it scarier when it's that much harder. I'm actually getting hit and having to use stone mirrors because the controls make me suck *lol*. I got through PZ2 untouched for the most part so it's a nice change.

We've had a new girl start at work this week too. It's great to have a girl working with us again. She makes me laugh a lot, I'm just hoping I'm not giving her a complex. It's just so cute that she runs into things and drops stuff so often. And she's so chipper. It's really refreshing to have someone around who's having fun like that. Our spirits are all rather downtrodden in that store. She also comes to me instead of the manager when she has questions, which is fun. I get to be the cool senior working guy.

I got to see Candice on Saturday too. That was cool. She dropped by the store in the afternoon and we got to chat for a while. We're semi-planning our next get together right now actually. It'll be great to hang out again.

Amy and Daniel have moved back in too. They've been here one day and they've already borrowed over $65... it's not a good sign. They've drank all my soda too. Apart from that it's good. It's cool to have people around and it's fun having people to talk to all the time. We went out for dinner with Daniel's parents last night and that was neat. I got to see Monique again and that's cool. She's quite awesome. Daniel's parents are pretty fun too. They accepted my oddities with a grain of salt and we laughed a lot and unintentionally harassed our waiters. It was a good night. I'm sure we'll have plenty more over the next couple of months.

It would seem that I officially have fangirls. It's such a nuisance really. I blame the long-ish hair. The other night I was minding my own business, writing an e-mail to Erin and I got a call from someone I didn't know. I don't really want to go into it but the gist is that some random girl called, introduced herself and said how much she likes me. It was weird. I think she may have had the wrong number. God knows how my number is getting around though... but yes, fangirls. It's terrifying.

As always I'm sure I had plenty to talk about, but I just don't remember anything right now. I'm actually really fucking tired so I think I'll just have a shower and go to bed. I could go on about the cute kids at work or pole-dancing asians (don't ask) but I just don't have the motivation right now. Maybe tomorrow. Tomorrow is another day.
