There are only like... two people (maybe) who have ever read this journal, but

If you like Star Trek (the new movie OR the original series, EITHER ONE) and you also like Role Playing, then you should join this Star Trek Role Playing forum because we need a few more people before we can get this ball rolling anywhere. The storyline is not in any way set in stone (there IS a *suggestion box* where you can submit ideas that WILL very probably be used) and only a few characters are already taken.

I'm aware that I only know like two people on here, but if there's any chance you would pass the link along to anyone you know who might be interested, I'd really, really appreciate it. We've got a staff with lots of role playing experience (both online and tabletop) as well as lots of experience running role playing games, so I think this game would have some real potential if only I weren't such a hermit and knew more people.

Once again, the link is http://fracturedgalaxy.proboards.com/index.cgi and thank you very much for your time.

do you ever just feel... insecure? i do it all the time. i don't mean socially or in terms of relationships (which, for me, are totally nonexistant anyway, hooray -_-) or whatever. no, maybe "insecure" is the wrong word. i just get really uncomfortable in my own skin. or almost stuck, somehow.

to become something is so difficult. and it takes so damn long. i feel like i'll just never be anything but mediocre. a failure. sometimes i really don't know if i have it in me to do much else.

...wow. when i started this, it wasn't such a downer. o_O

no more messing around worrying about shit.

well, maybe sometimes. but i can't change anything, so i might as well accept it and get on with life.

everyone, stop bitching with me. it will be an enriching experience, i promise.

and don't misunderstand the grammar, whatever you do. i mean 一緒にstop worrying about itしましょう -- let's all of us together quit complaining for a while and talk about something nice.

also: Don't shit your pants.

and to [info]luvotomy, i'm sorry i got so upset with you. i guess it was stupid. but whatever... i've known you forever. it's way too much work to stay upset for too long.
i mean that as a good thing. sorry if the phrasing is ambiguous. :3

holy shit, i might know how to place things diagonally for my sims now. *runs off frantically to test it*

  i'm really at a loss right now as to what exactly is bothering me. maybe i feel betrayed.

no, that's not quite right.

perhaps it's that i feel cast aside by everyone i thought i knew.

maybe it's cause this year marks the first time my parents have attacked me and kicked me out at the same time. i've never before had them come at me without being able to hide under my own blankets in my own bed after it was all over.

i think i'm over-sensitive to this sort of thing.

maybe i'm so negative all the time because i'm so insecure all the time. being mean to other people doesn't make me feel any better; that's not my motivation.

could be because things don't seem to go right, ever.

it's not like i complain all the time to complain. i do it because i don't know how else to converse. try growing up with parents like mine and being any other way. the fact is that i'm extremely awkward. and the fact is, it's because my parents never taught me the right way to act socially.

but now i just plain don't feel right. something's wrong about everything.

i'm having a lot of trouble sleeping lately.

okay, i hate to say this because it makes me sound like a total jerk, but... there is statute of limitations on bitching.

yea. i know. but it's true.

it's not like a set period of time. it depends on a few things. like what the hell your problem even is, for example. or how it relates, if at all to the victim of all the complaining.

as a side note, there will be no "you know who you are" because this person doesn't use scribbld. or, at least, doesn't know me on scribbld. but this rule is something that everyone should probably bear in mind. and i am included in everyone, so prease to stop before leaving me any "you bitch too much lolz hypocrite" comments, kthx.

^- wow, that all sounds a lot angrier than i am. i'm not really angry at all. just bored, or something.

...today just kind of weirdly sucked. -_-

p.s. sorry... i don't know who the actual artist of the song is. x_x

-edit-
i get that life is hard for handicapped people, but that doesn't make it okay for someone with a disability to be a bitch and overreact all the time. seriously.
and just to keep all my bases covered because i fucking hate when people "misunderstand" just to be assholes, it's also not okay for people to point and be rude. that should be a given.

what have i been doing lately...? eh. i've sorta been taking a break from persona 3. i'm nearing the end and i want to regain my previous ridiculous amount of excitement before i finish it.

school started today as well. it was pretty fun. )


in other news, i'm also finally getting paid for driving my pathetic brother around all the time. although $20 for a week of driving isn't really fair or worth it... eh. it's more worth it than it was with no money, i guess.

well... i guess i just have to start my new year stuff a week late, after that ridiculous fiasco from before (which, according to my mother, is completely my fault and she did nothing wrong).

what i will do this year:
x get a pocket planner and remember my schoolwork
x go walking/running at least one day every week (weather permitting)
x get a job and save up money to move out
x stay in my room/avoid my parents
x make my brother pay me to drive him to work, to the bar, to his friends' houses, or anywhere else

seems reasonable. although that second and third might fail, depending how busy i am with school. should be fine, though.

x. blooddrunk - children of bodom cd
x. re:chain of memories
x. some candy 8D

i'm going to be brutally honest with myself about one thing on that list -- i've been playing com for about 46 minutes now, and i fucking hate this game. i'm really, really, really interested in the story, but this gameplay is the most ridiculously stupid idea i've ever come across in a video game. what the hell were they thinking?
anyway, next save point i find, i'm turning it off. possibly for good. sucks, too. i really wanted to know what i missed between kh1 and kh2. :\

you motherfukers. (it was dumbledore, btw.)

i wanted to update, but i forgot what i was going to say... whatever, i can just ramble or so.

i've been awkwardly between musical moods lately, and it's kind of odd for me switching from metal to alternative, back and forth. it feels weird, too, like i can't decide what i want to listen to. idk. o_O the thing is that i tend to do things in cycles. phases, if you will. i'll just get in a mood for a certain type of music, or a specific video game, and it'll last anywhere from two days to two months, but that's just the thing i'm into during that time. kind of weird to explain, i guess. whatevs.

but yes, i do like my chemical romance. and yes, they are alternative rather than "emo". listen to their music if you don't believe me; anyone who has both ears and a brain can tell. (although i did, unfortunately, used to be emo.)

speaking of alternative, i can't seem to find any of my smashing pumpkins cds. this is exceedingly lame, as i no longer have their entire discography on my computer since i had to reinstall windows. what on earth will i do without every sp song ever? D:

-edit-
i mean it like, both of these things: ears and a brain. not like... both of your ears + your brain. you can listen to music with just one ear. i know because i went temporarily deaf in my left ear once. it lasted for like... ever. i'm wanting to say two weeks, but i also felt traumatized so it might've just been 1 ~ 1.5 [info]luvotomy, do you remember? XD

i'm watching a program on the history channel about masonic conspiracy theories. i must say, some of this is particularly nonsensical. for example, apparently the number thirteen is masonic and that means that our seal of the united states was made by freemasons and it's all a conspiracy to give our dollar bill an inside motif that only some people understand, or something.

there are thirteen leaves on the olive branch, thirteen arrows in the eagle's claw, thirteen stripes on the banner, and thirteen stars above the eagle's head.

...couldn't possibly have anything to do with the thirteen original american colonies, could it? (you know... the same reason we have thirteen stripes on the united states flag.)

and i got the sims 2 again for my comp. it'll be so epic once i get started playing. (too busy rebuilding my custom content collection at the moment. x_x) i will make a more attractive version of torbjørn halvorsen since i can control the way he looks in the pc version, and there will be no more controls of doom. celebratory dancing shall ensue.

i've also had a rant about peoples' attitudes toward horse meat lately, but maybe i will get into that later. for now i will just say that ethnocentricity makes me angry.

music: Michelle Branch - "Everywhere"
let's get one thing straight: there is nothing that makes an atheist naturally less annoying than an insane christian. especially if said atheist is an idiot. i can't stand people who get offended by a simple word or phrase just because they don't believe in a religion.

people actually get offended by things like the word "miracle." things like "have a happy christmas" or "happy hanukkah." (although i am all for replacing both with a generic "happy holidays" just so people stop fighting over it.) or like "have a blessed evening" (when i worked in the grocery store, i knew a very kind woman who would say that to everyone when they left) or "god bless you." or the variant, just plain "bless you."

when someone is wishing you well, what the hell kind of response is it to get huffy and tell them, "i'm an atheist." yea? cool, man. i'm a nihilist, so bless you, and merry fucking christmas. ("my non-religion is better than your non-religion"??)

o hay gaiz, wait a sec. miracles and blessings aren't even inherently religious. i mean, "god bless you" is, but a simple bless? nah. a miracle is something wondrous, whether you attribute it to a higher power or not. i'm not making this up -- grab a dictionary and hunt down these two words. better yet, just type them in dictionary dot com.

to be honest, i don't see any of these things as offensive. people are too literal, and some of these are simple colloquialisms. personally, i consider it almost an especial compliment when people say things like that. they are not only wishing me well; they are wishing for me the favor of what they believe to be the highest power in existence.

maybe consider that next time? :P

so of course, i went to [info]luvotomy's house today and we finally finished silent hill 4. it was pretty epic, even though we got the crappy crappy ending. (what is it like to be a doublecrap??) then we finally beat that asshole tutor guy in rule of rose... and then promptly got stuck at another boss and gave up again. XD yea, that's how we roll.

i've been watching the crap out of those yu-gi-oh abridged videos, also.

and there's a new furnace in my house. did i mention that already? cause i'm warm and it's awesome. excuse me, please, while i go not freeze to death. ^_^

comfort is not a mood, apparently, so content will have to do.
