Kakashi's LiveJournal

76 weeks!

Sun, 24 May 2009 04:04:04 GMT

That's what my livejournal said. I last updated 76 weeks ago. For those of you who aren't good at math, that's one year plus four and a half months. I can't say in good spirits that my blogging responsibilities have been fulfilled. What new has happened in 76 weeks? I can't really say. After going over all my old blogs, I realize I wasn't a very great writer back then. Only nostalgia kept me reading through it all. It turns out back then I was a huge anime fan.

Guess what? I still am!

When I last spoke to my audience, I spoke of my awesome new schedule for the next semester. I am graduated now. I have my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Information Systems! You can hold your applause to the end.

On September 29, 2006 I talked about winning the lottery. Surprisingly that hasn't happened. I don't know what's wrong with me. I guess i'll have to try harder. I showed pictures of my first nephew ever. Since then I've gotten a niece from the same family, and now my sister-in-law is pregnant with a second nephew in another family. He's expected June 1! I guess being three-times an uncle is better than nothing.

I talked about watching Lucky Star, Galaxy Angel and Claymore. Those goals have been achieved. Lucky star is beautiful in certain ways, yet painfully boring in others. It's something best to be watched and left for nostalgia later on. Claymore is exactly as I thought it would be. Not a very good anime at all. Galaxy angel...well, I still have that on the backburner. Things just keep slipping in front of it.

My current to-watch anime list looks like this:

1. Bleach
2. Clannad
3. Dragon Ball Kai
4. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
5. Hellsing Ultimate
6. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei
7. Mahou Sensei Negima! OVA Shiroki Tsubasa Ala Alba
8. Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha
9. Monster
10. Naruto: Shippuuden
11. One Piece

It's obvious a lot of these are long-term projects, but right now i'm concentrating on Clannad and Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha. I think if i'm gonna make this 'blogging' thing work, I had best talk about the things I love or i'll just get bored. Anyway, here's hoping I haven't completely lost my audience.

What The Holidays Mean to You

For you, the holidays are about emotional connections and bonds. You are happiest being around those you love.

You celebrate the holidays in a natural style. Homemade gifts are your favorite, and you can't stand imitation Christmas trees or wreaths

During the holidays, you like to feel cozy and comfortable. You're happy to stay inside with a roaring fire and a warm drink.

You think the holidays should be decadent and indulgent. You never mind gaining a few holiday pounds... it's worth it!

Your favorite holiday memories strongly evoke your senses. You are vividly aware of all the tastes, smells, and sounds of the holidays.

What Do the Holidays Mean to You?

Hooray for anime!

Sat, 27 Oct 2007 10:22:11 GMT

Lets see here. Given its 5AM, this is a short update. I've watched a lot of anime lately over the last month:

Azumanga Daioh- I suppose this is a must-see if you haven't already. Its like Haruhi if Haruhi weren't all messed up to begin with. It depects average, everyday school life in a comedy setting.

Elfen Lied- Cute. I compare it to Chobits, only more fanservice, action and tugging of the heart-strings.

Darker Than Black- Fun anime. Reminds me of FMA.

One Piece- Rewatch, but still fun to watch the early episodes.

School Days- Bad, bad BAD! Do not watch on your life unless you like bad endings.

In any case, i've still got quite a few themes to watch yet. I'm debating Galaxy Angel, Lucky Star and trying to watch Claymore again. Although I got to episode 2 of Claymore, I'm having problems even gathering the interest to watch a third episode. Maybe i'm missing something that makes it appealing to others...

I have a livejournal?

Thu, 20 Sep 2007 04:48:27 GMT

Its been a while, hasn't it? Well I guess I had best get the details out of the way. The new schoolyear has begun. What are my classes?

CIS336 - INTERACTIVE WEB PROGRAMMING
Cool course. I have a wierd teacher from it with a thick accent. His lectures are rather boring, and for some reason he sees the need to teach us HTML before we get to the good stuff, so...probably a free A if this keeps up.

CIS358 - SYSTEMS DOCUMENTATION
This is the hell class I suspect to get a lot of homework this year. Strangely enough, despite the name, we have yet to do any systems documentation. In fact, the only things we've done is resume-writing and job research. Guess they gotta fill the lesson plan somehow...

CIS366 - SECURE SERVER ADMINISTRATION
This class sounds fun, but after meating my teacher (From Afghanistan), I'm not so sure. Becuase of his limited grasp of english, we've already gotten assignments back with points off because we did not answer the question word for word with how he did. Its not like its a big deal, but it might be frustrating in the long run.

BUS340 - BUSINESS LAW I
Strangely enough, this class is possibly my favorite this year, despite it being the black sheep of the semester. It is my only business class this semester, but it has a really awesome teacher, and its about american law, so you can assume that there are going to be some horror stories coming from our teacher, a former lawyer. XD

Other than that, there's not much else to report. My computer broke down so I bought a new one. I also bought Bioshock and enjoy the game, but i've taken a break from it recently due to having more important things to attend to. Right now i'm reading Mahou Sensei Negima, which is a relatively good manga despite the anime lacking in a lot of ways. I've also taken to watching an anime called "Darker Than Black." Its something like Fullmetal alchemist in that it has the same feel (and was animated by the same company); however, it still doesn't live up to FMA. Finally I've been watching a short 12-episode anime called "School Days." Its a really ecchi anime that was originally based off of a dating sim. The way things are going in the anime, it doesn't look like its going to end well. I started watching because the person who reviewed it said it was romantic, and while it is good, I fear for the main character.

Back Home

Sat, 19 May 2007 06:17:25 GMT

After many hours, I'm finally back home, sitting comfortably at my computer. Today started at 10. It would have started at 9 but I wanted to sleep in. I helped my roommate move to another hall where he could stay for the summer, then he helped me move out. I filled out an application for a job starting next year and handed that in. Finally we ate lunch and cleaned our room and we were out of there.

I finally got on the road around 2 P.M. For those of you with little or no experience driving long distances, don't do it when you're tired. You start spacing out big time, and you constantly worry you might accidentally fall asleep and get into a crash. Later on I had developed a method of keeping myself attentive and alert, which included playing with just about every piece of electronic equipment my car had, including the horn. Well, due to the fact that the horn is one of the least-used items on a car, and it was a really old car, when I tried the horn on the highway when I knew there were no other cars out, the button got stuck in and the horn kept going even after I released it.

That was a wake-up call if you ever needed one. It took me about a mile of driving with my horn at full blaze before I was finally able to unjam the button. I'm never doing that again unless its for an emergancy. I was worried if that kept up either my battery would have died or worse, I would have been pulled over. Either way, my very first action when I got home was to fix some stuff up. I had intended to fix it before but I didn't have the time to do that. Now that I was home I could fix it quickly before I unpacked. Finally, about four hours ago I could settle down.

So what's in the future for me? A lot of work. I'm not sure if I should get into details just yet, my job hasn't even started yet. But I do know I have two more days to enjoy myself before I have to go to work.

Oh God! I've been profiled!

The Everything Test

There are many different types of tests on the internet today. Personality tests, purity tests, stereotype tests, political tests. But now, there is one test to rule them all.

Traditionally, online tests would ask certain questions about your musical tastes or clothing for a stereotype, your experiences for a purity test, or deep questions for a personality test.We're turning that upside down - all the questions affect all the results, and we've got some innovative results too! Enjoy :-)

As for specific personality traits, you are outgoing (100%), romantic (71%), greedy (71%), horny (69%).

Stereotypes
Old Geezer	100%
College Student	73%
Hippie	47%

Life Experience
Sex	25%
Substances	0%

Seek and thou shalt find

Tue, 20 Feb 2007 18:00:33 GMT

Okay. I'm going to be brief here. I've lived in this area now for about a year and a half. Only recently hae I gained the courage and confidence to begin 'searching' around town for interesting places. I'll have to say I was surprised at what I found.

1. Starbucks
Seriously. Its not like i'm addicted to coffee or anything, but whenever I am in the mood for it, I might as well be. I wanted some coffee and there was a starbucks just sitting there, so I went in.

I have never been at a Starbucks before.

I expected coffee. Maybe they might have went into latte or whatnot. What I found was kind of a centralized habitat for coffee drinkers. Newspapers and chairs were set out. Cups were being sold of every shape and size. And the coffee. I don't know when they started putting chocolate, caramel or strawberry in coffee, but it makes me want to try every flavor. I asked for something sweet and ended up getting a 'cold coffee' caramel Frappechino. It wasn't the best in the world but it was good. They put enough whipped cream on there to surprise even me. Then I learned an important lesson about sucking whipped creme through a straw. You can't. There are not words labeling how incredibly difficult it is to get whipped cream out of the bottom of the cup with the straw you are given, which leads me to believe that you are expected to eat teh whipped creme first and then drink the liquid under it. That kind of goes against my standard whipped-creme eating etiquette. I guess I can change my ways just this once...

2. Gamestop
I HAVE A GAMESTOP! I've never HAD a gamestop before. I don't know what to do with it. When I saw it I ran towards it like we were opposite poles of a magnet. Like the Starbucks, I have never been to a Gamestop before, and I didn't know what to expect. I wasn't unsatisfied at all. The place was full of video games, and even had an X-Box 360 console with a boxing game in it. Naturally the graphics were impressive, but I myself was unimpressed by the realism. The motions weren't real at all, and other than dynamic camera angling, you didn't feel like you were punching your opponent. You fist would stop near them, and their head miight or might not bob, but that's about it. Yet another reason why i'll probably be getting a Wii, or dare I say, a PS3 before I get an X-Box. The employees there were pretty cool there. I met a cute girl working there who loved video games. Let me repeat myself...

A CUTE GIRL WHO LOVES VIDEO GAMES!

Damn. Never saw that coming. I only know of one other person who is a girl, is cute, and plays video games. If you are reading this, you probably know EXACTLY who I am referring to. I noticed they had two copies of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness on sale for $39.99 but I didn't pick them up. There are several reasons for this. First, I don't know if the game is in the condition which it can be played, and have little to no way of testing that out. I have my PS2 with me, but no TV. Go figure :/

Second, $39.99 is a bit steep for me to be spending right now on a video game. I'll admit that it was tempting, but I just don't know enough about the game to make a purchasing decision like that. If anyone has played it can they let me know? I know on MCM Flonne is cute, Etna is hot, and I don't know much about Laharl other than he's a human/demon halfbreed like Inuyasha is. He's as proud as Inuyasha as well as extremely powerful. That's about all the 12-episode anime series that I really got to know. I guess this calls for some research. More details on my trip to town later!

...guess this wasn't so short afterall!

Ah the power of Immortality!

Dog days of what?

Mon, 20 Nov 2006 05:32:21 GMT

Today I talk about something very sensitive to me, but something everyone close to me online should know.

When I was fifteen, I was admitted to a mental institution (yes the nuthouse) for a while, as I had a temporary mental breakdown. My life had become so terrible in my mind that I nearly killed myself from hyperventilation.

Now that the secret is out, maybe you can say I have problems. I was diagnosed with some form of depression. A severe case in fact, however there is wonderful medicine that science can use to fix that.

Expensive medicine...

I can't afford such things. They would require about a hundred dollars a month more than I have. Which is kind of funny. my financial situation is what spawned this depression in the first place. I'm older now, and have learned exactly where my limits were and how to handle stress. How to keep my depression within meaningful levels. Today however I had the worst dip in a long time. To be completely honest...I don't know how I am going to survive the next six months. You might think 'oh he is on the internet he cant be that bad off.' That's not true. The internet is a provided convenience here in college. If at all possible I do not want to drop college, especially so close to graduation. It would fix my money problems, but if I take a break now, I will never come back.

Which leaves me one major choice. I have to go to my parents for money. This...is something I dread each and every time. How are they going to react when their son, who's been trying his absolute best, isn't good enough to support even himself. It makes me want to cry. I feel pathetic. Spending all of my extra time drowning myself in the only thing that gives me happiness anymore, the internet. And even now its not really giving me much happieness. Not when I know I could use this time at a second job...but I can't find one. Not even minimum wage. Maybe i'm a discouraged worker. College has literally ruined my ability to think positively about things.

I know i'll get through this. I always have before. But I don't want to feel this way. It hurts so much.

IF there is even anyone who reads this. Tell me a joke. Give me a hug. I don't care what. I don't want to feel this way anymore.

JACK!

I present to you, my first nephew. In full color!

I love him so much. I hope he remembers me when I get home...

If you want larger pictures just ask me!

Happy Halloween 'n stuff!

Sat, 28 Oct 2006 01:34:37 GMT

Okay I know its early, but damnit if I am not excited. Little kiddies running around in the cutest damn costumes ever! My only regret is I haven't the money this year to buy candy for them. I guess I'll just leave my door open and watch them as they pass by.

I love children.

But the real reason I love halloween isn't just the children. Its the frightfest. I am debatably one of the most superstitious people you will ever meet. I'll try anything once, even if nobody else believes in it. Lately I've been reading about a restless spirit that inhabits mirrors known as 'Bloody Mary'. While I'm sure it wouldn't work, I sat in the dark and tried to summon her. Feels kinda silly, but i'm kind of thankful I didn't see her. Just because then I would have my eyes clawed out, which is something I wouldn't appreciate very much.

But its halloween. The one time a year when you're allowed to act a little crazy to scare yourself silly. Down in Mexico they have a much more meaningful holiday known as Dia de los Muertos(Day of the Dead) in which they honor their deceased relatives. I would love to have that tradition integrate into this melting-pot that is America, but it probably never will. People do bring traditions here, but I have noticed over the years a general dying of spirit.

But maybe that's how its always been. Maybe new traditions are being born, just as often as they die. Either way. This is a celebration of death. Long live old traditions. <3

Twenty years ago, One year of age. Just learning the basics of life. Lots of things happened. Don't remember any of them. (1986)

Fifteen years ago, Six years old. First grade sucked! Evil teacher! (1991)

Ten years ago, Eleven years old loving Pokemon and soon Dragonball Z. (1996)

Five years ago, Sophmore in High school. When 9/11 came we thought it was all a joke. Boy were we wrong. (2001)

Last year, My first year at UWSP. Completely changed the way I look at life. (2005)

Last Saturday, I was working, and looking forward to this weekend. Doing a paper for one of my classes.

Yesterday, Overslept for one of my classes, sleep deprivation and depression are slowly taking over. I wonder if perhaps anyone out there loves me. No? I guess that's okay.

Today, Got called into work on an emergancy. Someone didn't show up. Got paid double-time. Today was supposed to be my relaxation day, but I ended up getting into a fight with a dear friend of mine. I hope she forgives me.

Tomorrow, Class...class...class. Eight hours long. Still will look forward to the weekend.

What's in a day?

Sat, 30 Sep 2006 04:55:44 GMT

Once again I find myself in a late-night thought-sprog, contemplating many things. First and foremost is my financial situation. I will openly admit that my current job is not enough. I will need to get a second, /ESPECIALLY/ if I want to be able to afford something extra special for my supportive family this year. As such I have applied over at my University Internet provider. The short and sweet of this job is as follows:

I get 10 dollars an hour. Up to 20 hours a week.
I get it doing the thing I was born to do. I know I can succeed in this line of work!
It actually gives me experience in my current field!

But I can't get too excited too early. They took one look at my application and then offered to bring me into an interview. However I'm going to have to work a bit of extra charm, as I suspect the job is in high demand. I know I can do it and I know I can do it well. That's what I need to keep in mind.

Also along financial lines, I got a letter from the credit card company. Apparently it had been at least a year since I last used the card, and they were going to expire the account if I didn't make a purchase before the first.

...bastards...

But that surprised the hell out of me. I realized that I am quite possibly one of the most responsible people I know. Its not like i'm tight on money or anything. I just know where my limits are, and I never cross them. This is my first card. And while I did use it to pay the rest of my bill today, I did it only for the sake of keeping the card. Tomorrow I will send money to the company to pay up on the credit.

Then on the school front. I am enjoying myself greatly. All of my classes are easy. In fact. Perhaps a little too easy. But I strive on. pushing through all the busywork I am given. I will get A's in all my classes if it kills me! Two jobs or not!

I wish I were rich.... >.< Time to go win the lottery!

Sun, 10 Sep 2006 00:08:44 GMT

I haven't written a post in /SO LONG/ its been at least a week. Sadly that's because i'm back at school. Here's my class list.

CIS 219 DATABASE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION
CIS 313 PRODUCTION PROGRAMMING: VISUAL BASIC
CIS 330 COMPUTER AND NETWORK ARCHITECTURE
BUS 320 PRINCIPLES OF MANAGEMENT

For those of you who don't know me very well, that is the single /SEXIEST/ class schedule i've ever had. Going to school every day is the equivilant of going to a party, being given your favorite toys, and then being told, 'have fun!'

I honestly do miss all of my friends at MCM, as my schedule is pretty full and I do not get to see them nearly as much as I want to, but life goes on. Things have to be done. I need money.

Speaking of which I was hired for a job as an attendant at my hall's front desk. That is the good news. The bad news is this: I only work six hours every two weeks. What does this mean for me?

1) I now have an income again. Which is good.
2) I still need a second job. Which is bad.
3) Once that second job is found, this job will become my 'spoil myself' fund.

Happy days ahead.

I dropped my original MCM character, Boko. It was nice playing him, and his first-time crushes on Seras and then amelia_seyroon, however the monk seemingly became harder and harder to play, as well as being less and less popular. Now that I have an open slot, I instantly filled it with another character, whom I won't name here. I never name any of my new characters anymore.

Call this a rant, but other than the immortals, very very few people in MCM actually keep themselves from breaking the fourth wall, perhaps myself included. The moment they draw the connection between two of my characters they treat me completely differently. Kind of hold me at arms length when it comes to RP. I don't want this, so no matter who you are, unless you are an Admin or Seras Victoria, I can't really tell you who my new characters are. You eventually will figure it out, but at least i'll have a few months of good RP before then. Oh well.

In other news, amelia_seyroon, you have to start living in the dorms. I am on campus within plain view of about five thousand college girls. It is <3.

I'll talk to you guys later!

Flood!

Sorry I haven't posted on my LJ in a while. I've been BUSY! I've got good news and bad news. I suppose the bad news first.

At about 3 this morning, I woke up to an aweful stench of raw sewage. Apparently our pump broke, and it all backed up onto the floor right outside my basement bedroom. This means two things. 1) that its gonna stink despite how well I clean it up, at least until they pump it and 2) We can't use /ANY/ water until they come to pump it. All this because the pump is broke.

And they just 'fixed' it about a week ago. Obviously they did something wrong. I'm sleeping upstairs tonight, as I can't stand the smell down here. I estimate I cleaned about 25 gallons of water out of there before things settled down...and 25 gallons is a lot to haul out and dump on your front lawn. Luckily all it'll do is help the grass grow better, and it really won't stink after airing out and drying up.

On to the good news... I GOT A KAGOME ON MCM! Happiness! Kagome is <3 I want to RP with her every day until she's blue in the face! I know amelia_seyroon will be happy to RP with her too. Maybe things are looking up. Also I uploaded more pictures. All of my favorite Jounin, Kakashi. Enjoy!

Shopping!

Today was a double-edged sword. On one hand I was running around doing all kinds of stuff involved in preparing my mother for her camping trip, as she can't do it herself. The GOOD news is that she's going on a camping trip, which she CAN do on her own. This means I have 3-4 days of lightened duty, and I am going to use it to spoil myself rotten. First and foremost is to actually RP on MCM with some people who I really have been waiting a long time to RP with. amelia_seyroon, here's looking at you!

Otherwise, its another normal day. Apparently rumors are all over the internet that starting with episode 200, Naruto is going back to non-fillers. I'll believe it when I see it, but it seems like as good of a time as any to do it, if I were the producers. They have at least a year's worth of material to go by, given all the manga out there. This brings the number of filler episodes up to 65, which is over a third of the series! Judging from the Manga, Naruto part II will not be the last one, there might even be a part III! Nothing is getting resolved thus far. Well here's hoping! I've got to get up early to bring my mother to her friend's house tomorrow, so goodnight to you all.

Where did Today go?

I'm not sure where today went, but its gone out the window. Due to staying up until 9 A.M. playing Lunar 2, I slept in for the first time till about 2 P.M.

I don't know what it is about that game. It's like Final Fantasy 7. I don't really ENJOY the game as much as I did Final Fantasy 8+, but there is something about it that just makes it so you can't put it down. I'm beating it for the sake of beating it. Technically I already have, but there is an 'epilogue' part that still needs to be completed.

MCM is the same as always. Inutaisho, otherwise known as Kedar, is having an Inuyasha Movie 3 related TP where Sou'unga (the sword of hell) takes control of him. Realistically that is /NOT/ possible. But its his TP. I have just elected to stay out of his way and let it run its course.

In the meantime Inuyasha goes without a relationship. Some of my other characters are in relationships that I would prefer not to have due to stress levels amongst the players. I tell ya, is it too much to ask to get a little love...or maybe a Kagome? I'm just in one of those moods lately that I just want someone to hold onto. Whether it be ICly or IRL. A soft warm personality for comfort. I don't think i'll be getting anything like that any time soon. Oh well. Life goes on.

School is in 19 days if my math is correct. September 2 is the day I move back in...or was it the third...whichever one of those two is the monday. I know who my roommate will be and he sounds American. I hope he is. Nothing against Koreans in general, but last semester of college I was roomed up with two different Korean roommates. The second in particular complained about the smell, but no matter how much the CAs, me or anyone else searched around, we couldn't find anything that smelled remotely bad. It was only later that I personally figured out why. He just wasn't used to 'american' smells, the same as I wasn't used to Korean smells. That...took some getting use to.

Again, this is assuming the general population is the same as the two roommates I shared. Koreans generally like to nap in the middle of the day, stay up late and get up early. In the case of my first roommate, he would get up at 7 A.M. every morning and turn on the hair dryer in the room, instead of moving into the bathroom like most other people would do. This resulted in a nice wake-up call like clockwork for me about an hour earlier than I wanted to get up. My second roommate would frequently come home at about 6 or 7 A.M., waking me up by knocking on the door and waiting for me to open it up, at which point he would drunkenly collapse on me before going to sleep. I was kind of worried about him, and I still am. I tried telling the both of them that its something I didn't like them doing, but again the language barrier thwarted me.

Koreans are very geneous and throughout the semester I found myself in possession of a lot of free apples, juice, ramen soup and some very interesting korean food. I wonder if that isn't tradition for them to do that. I hope I didn't offend them by not giving anything back. The both of them personality-wise are probably some of the nicest people you'll ever meet, but the language and culture barrier is almost impossible to breach. The first one could speak english very well. The second one took...a great deal of patience and a few tricks to understand.

But I spent a semester living with them, and now I want someone American. Someone to talk to about stuff where I don't need to worry about repeating myself, speaking slowly, using translators or any of that. I don't know. I'll keep you guys updated. Later.
