| Engaged |
[07 Dec 2008|11:50pm] |
So I haven't updated in a long time... I've been pretty dang busy. Trying to get a job and get reestablished at home. Also getting ready to move out again.. College ended so I moved back home. I'm sure I've mentioned my girlfriend by now, but we both moved back to our respective homes after college, her home being about 360 miles north of mine... So I kinda put myself in a busy situation because on October 25, 2008, during a visit up north with her, I kiiiiinda proposed. And she kiiiiiinda said yes. So I R Engaged!
We're going super simple wedding and super small, just immediate family. Having a couple of receptions though so we can still include others, but we don't wanna deal with a huge wedding hassle. Just got something pretty and small: a rose garden at a park, inside a gazebo. And we set the date for inauguration day: January 20, 2009 (not because of inauguration day though -but it is nice since our wedding day is now brought to you by the letter 'hope'- but instead we picked the date because it was our unofficial dating anniversary).
So umm, that's what's been going on with me! :D
*can't wait for Jan. 20th*

In unrelated news, I'm happy that this time around with my more lax rules, my RP has been surviving longer. It's only a few of us playing, but it's going well enough. ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) gottis_chan, if you're interested in playing again (since you were there for the first attempt at this RP) then there's always a seat for you. For anybody out there in fact. http://mallboro.goatpen.org if anybody's interested. Fun, crazy, weird Final Fantasy RP goin' on... sharpie, I don't suppose you're still interested in it... Ooh, and 5ftoffantastic, do you do livejournal role-playing? Cuz if so.......... :D (one of our five members is on hiatus until September, so I'm totally pimping the site... we need more people around to post... Also only one of us five is female, so the testosterone is just crazy. We need more female influence ;) )

| What is this strange new world? |
[31 Jul 2008|02:44pm] |
The- The internet? I can use it again?
The past five weeks (well, this last week has been a lot of relaxing, but the five before this one) was the most painful summer school evar. Man, when councilors are hesitant about letting you substitute one course for another, it's probably because the class is WAY too hard for you. I needed two classes to graduate: English 1C and an upper division math or computer class. So I "graduated" last spring (commencement ceremony and all), but needed to still finish these courses. But none of the maths/computer classes were available over the summer, so I got a substitution: Computer Networking. I had all the prerequisites, but not the knowledge. My classmates were all computer science majors and seniors, so they knew like, everything. So poor me who knows less than nothing was screwed just about the whole time. There were a couple non-CS majors in the class, but they all dropped. So woohoo, lucky me.
BUT I PASSED SO WHO CARES!? I win! Out with school, in with social life! Computer how I've missed you! People living in my computer (you guys) how I've missed you all! Clean apartment, you're back! Everybody's back! *tear*
if (bob_graduated == true)
{
bob = free;
}
else
{
bob = not free;
}
cout << "Bob is now " << bob << "!" << endl;
Output:
Bob is now free!

Lazy RP Pimping. I'm giving an old Final Fantasy RP a second attempt (since the first kinda fell on its ass). Updated a few things to (hopefully) make it better. I'm lazy, so I'm just copy/pasting what I put on some RP Pimping site. Sorry. Anyway, if anybody still knows who I am and likes this kinda stuff, I'd love for ya'll to play with me (and bring some friends?).

| Mr. Moth |
[03 Aug 2007|02:47am] |
Heeeeeeere mothy mothy mothy! I know you're in here.... You're a moth and moths aren't stealthy like Solid Snake... unless you play Metal Gear Solid as badly as I do, in which case it's pretty accurate...
I really wish I was asleep, but when I walked into my room just now (2:45am) a moth started flopping it's gigantic moth body all around, so now I have to beat him to death with a shoe first... Maybe I'll just fall asleep with my mouth open and swallow him. Ah digestion. That'll show him.
Let's see.... What to rant about while I wait for the moth to come out and die of curiosity, just like that damned cat... I guess there's always my latest video game purchase. I haven't felt this ripped off since I bought Final Fantasy X-2. I just bought Guitar Hero: Encore 80s Edition. Now, this isn't your standard waste of money. It's not like it's just a horrible game, cuz it isn't that bad... It has some good songs on it, some are fun to play. Here's the problem. Much like FFX-2, EVERYTHING is reused. There is NOTHING new about this game except for thirty songs. THIRTY. TOTAL. Guitar Hero II had 40 main game songs and like, 15 indie songs. This game was about HALF. The changes this game made were friggin color swaps. You play the same venues, you have the same guitars to buy, less characters, no costume changes, no bonus videos... I'm already done with the game, though part of that is because I rocked at GH 2. I beat GH: 80s on expert and already had enough to buy everything in the game. I don't care to unlock all the other guitars cuz I've seen them on GH 2, so it's like... over. And I payed $50! If I'd paid $20, then this game would've been worth it, but not a cent more. If this game had put in indie songs then maaaaybe it'd be worth $50, but as is, I feel soo ripped.
WHERE IS THAT MOTH!?!??!
So I-
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! MOTH = PWNED
Humans 1. Moths 0.
I feel bad though. I tricked him out with a flashlight, then I saw him and used my super powers of "being able to hit things with empty rolls of wrapping paper" to knock him down and out. But he didn't die. So I hit him again. And again. And again. Poor guy. I didn't want him to suffer, but he was just so resilient! Or however that word is spelled that means he didn't want to die... Poor little feller. Vaya con dios... en mi bano.
So yeah, the big perk about GH 80s: the final song (stop listening if you don't wanna know what it is) is Play With Me by Extreme. Now, this is a hard song. Granted, I was annoyed that at the end it had the SAME DAMN NOTICES AS GH 2. In GH 2, Freebird is the last song, and when you say you wanna play it, you get all these messages that are like "Are you SURE!?" and you have to say a thousand 'yes's. In this... Same thing. The messages are the same, they just like, 80s'ed it up. Like, totally. I love this song. I didn't know what it was until I played it. It's the montage in the mall song from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure! So dang cool. And so. dang. hard. I mean, it only took me four attempts, but still! It's a crazy hard song!
So that's enough ranting. Don't buy Guitar Hero: Encore 80s Edition until the price drops to about $20. Sorry, it's a huge ripoff. It's a full-priced expansion pack, and that is all. L to the ame. (that spells lame).
End.

| Today is your birthday, you know what that means? |
[03 Jun 2007|02:30am] |
I have to update! Why? Obligatory obligations. Which means I have a lot to say and I should totally stop neglecting my livejournal. It's been like, a decade since I've updated. Crazy craziness. Duplicatory duplications of wordified words.
First and foremost, happy birthday, world! That means you, mllelaurel, and my daddy, and my favoritest girl in the world, Kristy, who totally reads my livejournal because she's my own personal stalker as well as girlfriend! Two for the price of one! Happy birthday to everybody, mostly Kristy and Lily though, cuz I'm pretty sure my dad doesn't even know what a livejournal is, so I'll tell him happy birthday some other way.
Know what sucks? School! Know what I'm not going to talk (at length) about? School! This quarter has been brutal and I'm fearing that I won't pass my computer class. I've been working hella hard on all my programs and studying (hence why I haven't been too update-y, partially because of workload and partially because of not being in the mood... Too angry at computers...) but I just suck at it. Also math and physics are hard. This is the quarter of "Will Bob pass ANYTHING? Stay tuned, after these messages!"
Disneyland California Adventure. Go there with your family. It's tight!
We now return you to your regularly scheduled update.
"No! He won't!"
I went to Disneyland CA Adventure with my sisters last night. It was closed from 9pm-1am for people that use my bank and bought tickets from them. It was pretty cool. I'd never been to CA Adventure, and am kinda curious what it looks like during the day. It was a neat place at night, just night takes away from the festiveness and adds more awesomeness. The bummer was that a lot of food stands were closed and shows were over, so it was basically just riding the rides and taking in whatever scenery we could. But that's fine. The lines were short, so we got to go on everything important.
That roller coaster there is awesome. It's fast, fun, gentle, and it had MUSIC playing during it! How many other roller coasters have a timed MUSIC background to them? Answer: I don't know. But it's more than or equal to one. Good ride. There were some decent rides, and the special effects on rides/part events were cool, but anything that messed with perspective hurt my brain. Soarin' Over California was a neat "ride" (motion simulator that wasn't very Star Tours-y) but I couldn't watch the whole time because of the distorted images. I would've puked or my brain would've exploded. Or both. A few other things played with perspective too. They hurt me. Physically. Like a stick. Those things hurt.
I'll call that good for an update. Nobody cares to read TOO much about my boring life. Summary: School = devouring me. Finals = soon. Birthdays = happy. CA Adventure = decent. Me = sexy. As always.

| Calculate THIS! |
[08 Apr 2007|01:48am] |
So... I no longer have a calculator. Why? I destroyed it. Long story short: I bought this calculator years ago at Wal-Mart. It was like five bucks. There was a reason for it. See, the buttons didn't always respond. So if you NOTICED they didn't respond, it was fine, but if you didn't, all hell broke loose. So today I had a bunch of Physics homework that basically made me decide once and for all that I'd rather do 362.536^3 * cos (34) on my fingers than on that fuggin calculator.
So where is it now? Now the calculator is in a container of water on my balcony, after it was first: bent by my mighty fingers until the back snapped off, then pounded once with a firm SMACK via hammer, then, as the coup de gras, lit on fire. At first it made a big burn spot that puffed up and popped, but then after constant torching, it was my own personal torch. The fire started getting fairly big, so my roommates (who were watching/encouraging) were enjoying the view and I told one of them to get some water cuz I was pretty sure I couldn't blow this thing out when the time came and I was pretty sure that dropping it in the big pile of dried up leaves below wouldn't put it out....
About half of the bottom burned/melted/curled up helplessly. It is no more. It has ceased to be.
That was fun. Thanks, Wal-Mart. Your horrible, but low priced products are wonderful entertainment. When we all get a new form of cancer known as "Calculator Cancer" (Cancer of the calculator), we'll consider sueing you as well as the children you forced to make that calculator.

| Guitar Masta! |
[14 Mar 2007|01:02am] |
I finally did it! I finally beat Guitar Hero 2 on Expert! Woohoo! Hangar 18 had me stuck forever, so I finally beat it today. Then kicked Freebird's ass no problem. Unlocked the battle axe guitar, but no guitar will ever replace "The Fish" guitar. Oh man it's so hardcore and like, stuff.
Man... Beating the hell out of a video game that uses a small plastic guitar... I wonder how many chicks I could get? I'd bet like, a zillion!

| Let's get ready to look- |
[20 Feb 2007|12:09pm] |
SOOO GOOOD!
I guess I haven't updated in a while. So let's update, because I should be doing other highly important things like studying for an important midterm tomorrow!
I had a birthday not long ago. It was a crappy birthday based on the day itself since it was my long/painful day of school, but other things made up for it. I got a DS for my birthday from my parents. Also Mario umm... The new Mario game for DS. Super Duper Omega-Mario Land World Place-ville. Also Kristy bought me FF3! Woohoo! So all in all, I got a cool new toy for when I'm out and about and bored.
The coolest thing ever happened on umm, Friday I think it was. Kristy took me out to Olive Garden for a birthday dinner, so we get there and it's a like, 45 minute wait. So we grabbed the flashy-beepy thing and went outside to walk around. It was a nice night, but unfortunately the best thing to walk to was a dumpster, so we had nothing to do. So I decided that hell, I've got a truck. So we went and sat in the back of my truck while waiting. We're just waiting and Kristy decides to lean on me, so I put my arm around her and we're just chatting and waiting, when this car pulls into the space next to ours and this gal gets out and looks at us and says "that's cute". Then repeats it. And again. And again. Dunno how many times she actually told us that it was cute, then she walked off to meet up with her boyfriend. So then she and her boyfriend walk by us and he says to me/us "You made my chick jealous!" or something to that effect. They go into Olive Garden and apparently didn't want the wait so they went to her car to leave. Her car being near us again. So they come out and he says something to her, then slaps her on the butt and heads to the passenger's side. She looks at me and says something like "Will you show him what a gentleman is and kick his butt?" I didn't respond because I was too busy chuckling at how the term gentleman can preceed 'kick his butt' in a sentence. But then she says something about how once again, we're cute, then her boyfriend says something like "well maybe if you got a truck...." I feel the need at this point to note that everything that happened was friendly. It kinda seems like I almost got the shit kicked out of me by her boyfriend, but it was all just fun conversation. Apparently that gal wants to someday wait for her food in the back of a truck. Whatever. We're cute.
Not much is up except for a killer midterm tomorrow. I need to do some review, but I'm very unafraid of this test and I REALLY shouldn't be. People say this is a freaky-hard class and Kristy (who is in my class) is scared of it. I'll be pretty afraid tomorrow I'm sure. Like, an hour before class when I realize I know nothing. This class has easy subjects on the surface, but if he makes the integration hard enough and uses terms I'm not 100% on, then I could be really screwed. Like, REALLY screwed. But I just don't feel like being scared of it right now. I'm gonna die....
So for now, it's time for homework or Guitar Hero II! I just beat Miserlou and Beast and the Harlot on Expert! Only three songs from being teh Guitar Masta (but not really since I only barely make it through these tough as hell songs).

| Old Year's Resolution |
[07 Jan 2007|02:53am] |
Know what suck? New Year's Resolutions. I made an Old Year's Resolution, so if I ever go back to 2006, everybody make sure I eat better and exercise more. Hey, it happened to Marty McFly... Sort of. He went a bit farther back in time. I kinda wanna make New Year's Resolutions, but I'd just get sad when I break them all anyway. If I DID make a New Year's Resolution, it'd be to make sure I don't let life get me down so much. I start thinking about life and soon enough realize that my life is pretty meh when you think about it, so it's time to stop thinking about it and pretend it's a bit of all right.
Recently I've noticed how so many people (at least college age and below) focus so much on what they need to do to be happy. Like, I need to get a good job, good family, pet dog named Rosencrantz, etc. To that I always respond (I actually don't...) "What about today?" Why does everybody think "I need to do blah blah blah so that in the future I'll be happy." I for one am of the impression that there's no such thing as the future. In math terms, the future is a horizontal asymptote. We keep getting closer and closer, but we'll never actually TOUCH the future. So why care about it so much? To an extent sure. Worry so it doesn't make a good future-present into a hell you can't get out of, but shouldn't we worry more about what makes us happy now? I don't know any of those dumb statistics things, but I'm sure that tomorrow somebody who had everything in front of him is going to get hit by a bus and die. It sucks, but it'll probably happen. I just think that I could be that guy, so I'd better just make things count so that my dying words go from "But I almost graduated..." to "Ouuuuuuch *gargle* *full body shutdown*"
I haven't updated this thing for a while now since I wanted to avoid emo-ing since I've been pretty pissed at the world lately, but now I've decided that I'm pissed at myself for being pissed at the world, especially since it's my own damn fault for things being like they are (Disclaimer: my life isn't all that bad, but we all like to complain, right?). My life's an easy enough fix. I can distract myself from an annoying life by just doing things... ANYTHINGS. So I'm gonna do those anythings. Profitable things like homework, exercising, cleaning, etc. I enjoy a good portion of those things, so why shouldn't I not do them? You know, aside from the pathetic factor. "Saturday night, Bob. What're YOU doing?" "Oh, you know me. Just gonna sit down with some math and -get this- clean the toilet! Woo!"
....I want a dog named Rosencrantz now.
End.

| What Kind of RPG Player Are You? |
[18 Dec 2006|03:02pm] |
Stolen from gottis_chan
| You scored as Character Player. The Character Player enjoys creating in-depth characters with distinct and rich personalities. He identifies closely with his characters, feeling detached from the game if he doesn�t. He takes creative pride in exploring different characters, often making each new one radically different than others he�s played. The Character Player bases his decisions on his character's psychology first and foremost. He may view rules as a necessary evil at best, preferring sessions in which the dice never come out of their bags. For the Character Player, the greatest reward comes from experiencing the game from the emotional perspective of an interesting character.

So for the past umm, maybe week or two, I've noticed (because how could you not) that there was a loud cricket chirping noise by our sink late at night. The first night it happened I said "great, a cricket's under the sink" and proceeded to search/destroy it. But I never found it. Next night the same thing. Then in the spirit of "If you can't beat it..." I decided that my roommate and I have a new pet cricket. I named him Dagobah.

| I do so still have an LJ! |
[20 Nov 2006|12:56am] |
Sorry ya'll, but between studying and Final Fantasy 12, I have had like, NO time for interneting. My website's kinda going downhill and I haven't updated here in forever, but that shall change! Now! Starting here! I'm gonna update my website at the end of the month since it's kinda not been updated for probably as long as this LJ, which is over a month... Or more importantly, because it's Grand Master Fleck's bday. Gotta get the most massive bday update the world has ever seen for that!
Life's been mostly school and FF12, so not much to report. FF12 is pretty awesome. And by that I mean addicting as hell. There's always SOMETHING I can be doing instead of advancing the plot. Also it's a good thing I like FF Tactics, because this is umm, same world and all that... But the characters are all awesome, the sidequests are addicting (generally in the fun way), the story is decent enough so far (though I keep forgetting what it is since I keep going on friggin hunts...), but yeah, I'm about halfway through I think and I have like 55 hours on it. I'm addicted. Played it all weekend basically. Hell, I don't think I had more than one meal today (though that meal did include cake at the end).
So much stuff I've gotta do... Well, not GOTTA, but should. Like, I badly need to balance my checkbook... And the kitchen needs a good scrub down. Probably the bathroom too. And my clothes are a bit on the unlaundered side, so some laundry might be in order... And I'm still on the lookout for a cheap dresser, though I have no leads on that at the moment... I might just move stuff around and like, stash my old schoolbooks under my bed or something.
So I'm going to officially switch to a math major. Some stuff is pretty tough, but I like math a LOT more than psychology. I like having a small base in psychology, but I've heard enough. Now it's time to go on to a REAL major. To all psych people I give you the colon pee, or possibly the equals pee. Some day I'm going to tell UCR that I'm switching to math... Hmm.... Someday...
I guess that's enough of an update. Back to FF12!
Oh, as a side note, I encountered Gilgamesh in FF12 and was very happy. NOT ONLY is he voiced by John DiMaggio (I could tell from the second he entered), but also they play this AWESOME remix of one of my favorite FF5 songs while you fight him. Ahh the things that amuse nerds like myself...

| Gotta make a post |
[27 Oct 2006|01:58am] |
I should be sleeping since I have class in about six hours (which means waking in five...) but I haven't updated this thing in forever. I've been a bit preoccupied. I didn't have internet access this weekend, and up until yesterday afternoon I was studying (sorta) for this midterm that I was completely unprepared for.
Finally got to the test and it wasn't HORRIBLE but I'm not planning on an A... Nor a B... I'm hoping for passing at best. But still, the whole class was probably lost, and I got answers for a question that was either rediculously hard or a typo. It wasn't HARD exactly (btw, math class here..), but this one problem was very VERY long the way I went about it. If there was an easy method for solving a set of two four-variable equations, then I forgot it, cuz it was a BITCH. Aside from that though, I think I got more questions than I was planning on. Proofs suck, but these were reasonably easy... I think I still got at least one of them wrong, but I might have enough other stuff to get partial credit.
It's just too bad in the long run that this test will be worth nothing. Our final grade in the class is EITHER homework+quizzes+midterm+final=grade, or final=grade depending on which score is higher. So far my homework and quiz scores are crap, so it'll probably be that second one unless I bomb ass on the final.
Things are goin' on with life right now and I've never felt as good in my life as I have the past day and a half. I know it's gonna come crashing down, but DAMN is it nice for now. Nice to have a reminder that life doesn't ALWAYS suck anus. I feel bad about my LJ life though, cuz I only seem to write about the bad stuff. The venting/ranting stuff. There is good in my life, though reading my LJ you might not know it. I can't really talk about things that are going on, which kinda makes me feel bad since I finally know something good I could write about and now I'm not gonna. But either way, know that things are goin' well for now. Having that test over is good enough, but other things have been going very nicely too.
I've come up with a line I like. It's dumb, but past 1am it sounds like a good one, that one being: Nice guys don't finish last. They may not finish first, but DAMN do they finish!
I dunno. It about sums up my life over the past little bit. Some good karma came my way. I must've been kigass in a past life or something. So anyway, things are good for the time being. And they will be as long as I continue to only look to the present or future (or because my brain now things in terms of math, greater than or equal to the present). I have a bunch to think about now, and a lot of sleeping to do. Anybody that cares to read my LJ, thanks for carin' (I mean like, if you do care...) and sorry I haven't updated in forever. Things have been weird. And wild. Weird and wild. Keep on keepin' on, ya'll.

| Hey LJ |
[10 Oct 2006|10:17am] |
That subject line is to be read in the voice of Arrested Development's Buster. On a related note, Tony Hale is going to be in a movie coming out with Will Ferrell. Should be umm, interesting.
So yeah, I have nothing better to do than talk to LJ. I need to do a ton of homework today, but it'd require either going to the library and seeing if the book is on reserve or buying the books which are really damn expensive. It'd be best to just own the books, but I think it's somewhere in the $350+ category, and I just don't want to spend that much on books. Still, I have to do homework, so I'd better do one of the two...
Either way, I'm not going to buy the books until after my 2pm class, which ends at 3:30, so for the next four hours I think I'm going to just zone out entirely. I have nothing better to do. I hate stuff right now, and that stuff is me. So there's no need to subject the rest of the world to me. Just my bed and I. I'll try not to mistreat my bed like I mistreat people that are important to me. I really should be nice and not mistreat my roommates and I should start pulling my weight around here, what with cleaning the kitchen and whatnot, but I just don't want to move for the next few days if I can get away with it. I was tricked into coming to class this morning, and I need to go to my 2pm class because of a quiz, but I dunno... I suck, therefore life sucks, therefore people around me's lives suck. Maybe if I just sit here the people I care about will be better.

| I don't care for Bob |
[09 Oct 2006|09:26am] |
Dear Bob,
Hey. Remember that thing that you had that was really really good? Remember how it meant the world to you and you basically kept on living because of it? Remember how there was only one possible thing in the entire world that you could do to fuck it up? Remember how you did that one possible thing? Good job. I hope you're happy, because I'm not. It was a lose-lose situation and for some reason you decided it was a good idea. You stupid fucker. Rot in the hell you've created.
Sincerly,
Bob

So yeah, stuff sucks. Kristy and I are at her place and it's gettin' close to time to go to class (we have the same class), but we never get to it and end up just hangin' at her place. Slackers we are </yoda>. So then we head over to my place cuz it was party time and while walkin' over we go through a crosswalk and there's this yellow cab, and I done did it. I looked into the cab and sure enough, DRIVING the cab is our fecking professor for the class we skipped four hours prior! Head. Hit. Wall. I mean what the hell. the cab was like, not too cablike. No thing on the top and identifying decals removed aside from a phone number on the back, but still. ARG! How the hell!? Talk about a stupid coincidence... Just weird. Why do I always pass professors after ditching their classes? I don't think he really recognizes us yet, but still. Come on!
