My thoughts...

My trip to Tennessee for New Years[in progress]

2008-01-11T17:01:28Z

I left for TN on December 29th, 2007. It was an early flight , had to get up at 2:30am to get to the airport for my flight at 6:05, that part wasn't fun. When I finally DID get on the plane, I tried to get some sleep, but that didn't seem to work. Too much noise, and someone kept bumping me. So sleeping was failure. I got to Denver(where my connction flight flew out of) and proceeded to gate A34 at the opposite end of the airport...only to find out the gate had been changed to the one that was right next to the gate I came from. Go figure. So I get to the gate I need to be at...and guess what? My flight is delayed for about 45 minutes to an hour! So I figure I'd go get some food. I headed down to McDonalds and had to wait 10 minutes til they started serving lunch. Since I had to wait so long, I hurried back to the correct terminal and found out I STILL had 20 minutes to wait so I sat there and ate my burgers and fries while looking at the nice snowy view out the window in Denver. So i get on the plane finally end up pretty much having a row of seats to myself, so that's pretty nice. Not eventful flight happens. I get to Memphis and head to the baggage claim, I get there and get a call from my girlfriend's uncle who is there with her to pick me up, and he says they'll be down the Escalator in a minute. I go wait over at the bottom of the escalator and down comes my girlfriend looking as beautiful as ever with a new hair color that I happen to like. She runs down the escalator and over to me. We hugged and kissed and all of a sudden things felt right again. I had been waiting for that moment for over 3 months!

A week of bliss

2007-09-18T21:39:29Z

Well...really it was about 8 days' worth of hours, but oh well. Anyways, yes...it WAS a week of bliss. It started on Saturday. Me and my mom headed to the Sea/Tac airport around 2pm-ish. Her flight was supposed to get in at 4:10 so we were a bit early I suppose. Being early was bad, cuz I was so excited to see her again I couldn't sit still! So anyways, it comes to about 4:20 and she comes down the escalator. She had gotten her hair cut to be quite a bit shorter, and I hadn't seen it yet, so when I saw it I was pretty surprised how cute it looked on her! She looked around for me and then I called her over and she ran over and we hugged, and oh my god had I missed her, it felt amazing to hug her again finally! After that we went to pick up her bag from baggage claim and headed out from the airport. We stopped at a Taco Bell(Git-r-dun!) in Tacoma and had dinner. So, of course we had the infamous Taco High! We got to my house and brought her stuff in and kinda relaxed for a few minutes. Next we watched the new Naruto Shippuuden episodes she hadn't seen yet.

Sunday: We woke up around 8 to her cell phone alarm: "If you go to family reunions to pick up women, you might be a redneck!" So later on in the morning after we both took showers and stuff, we decided we needed to get out of the house. She asked if we had a mall, so I said yep, so we took off for the mall. We walked around and looked at the anime store and Spencer's. Spencer's had a whip...she wanted it so bad, too bad my parents would have been like "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!" if we brought it in the house. She'd have so much fun with it too...darn. xD So we had fun anyways though.

Monday: We were gonna go Kayaking today.But I went and missed the turn off for it. ^_^; So we went to the zoo instead. We had a lot of fun there, so I guess it was worth missing the turn for Kayaking! It was as fun for me as it was for her since I hadn't been there in many years and they had a bunch of new stuff! This Zoo is a lot smaller than the Memphis zoo, but they have some awesome animals that the memphis zoo doesn't. So we both thoroughly enjoyed it.

Tuesday: It was my birthday today, I turned 20. We stayed home today cuz I didn't feel like going anywhere really. We watched some Red Dwarf, which Yayness actually ended up liking. "Emergency. There's an emergency going on. It's still going on." She really liked Holly, then again, it's hard not to, cuz he's hilarious! She liked Cat too. So, my birthday gifts were pretty awesome. I got a trombone from my parents and I got to spend the day with Yayness! So, yeah, I was pretty damn happy all around! I love her so much!

Wednesday: FUN FUN FUN DAY!!!! We went to the puyallup fair! We picked up my friends Stephen, Chris, Matt, and Parker after school and headed to TCC to catch the bus to the fair. So you want to know the reason this day was so awesome huh? Well, it's cuz we got to see Weird Al Yankovic in concert for free!!!!!!!!! You can't beat that! He puts on an awesome show! He did all the songs we wanted to hear! White and nerdy, Eat it, Constipated song, The saga begins, Y-O-D-A, That I bought on Ebay, Smells like Nirvana, and he even opened with the Polka medley! It was amazing, I hope he comes to the fair again next year! Me and Yayness had an awesome time walking around and looking at the animals too. And now we decided we have to have a farm...on fiji...and we have to have two cows named Beef and Mirlk...xDDDD

Thrusday: We went Kayaking! YAY!!! It was fun! We went Kayaking down on Owen's beach. We went out pretty far, about 1/3 the way to an island that's like a few miles away. We saw lots of jellyfish and even got to go over a school of herring. We had a pretty good time, the weather was sucky at first but then it warmed up pretty nicely. When we got back to the beach we took the boat back and walked up and down the beach throwing beached jellyfish back in the water. Then Yayness walked out in to the water to pull out a piece of trash so she got soaked from about mid-thigh down. We went up to sit on some logs in the sun to dry off. There was this really dumb young lady who was chasing after her kids and said "I'm done being a parent, I didn't sign up for this!" No lady, you did, if you really didn't want to sign up for it, ya shoulda kept yer damn legs shut!!!! Anyways, yeah, we watched her son while she ran after her daughter.
We also went to Tanglewood Bar & Grill today. It's a pretty nice place. Me and Yayness shared some fried cheese sticks that were awesome! While we ate them we had a weird conversation about our 3 kids that we haven't yet had and won't have for several years, lol! Then we talked about "Why the hell are we talking about this?!" and realized that's the first thing we really ever talked about ever. In fact it was a day after we talked about it that I actually asked her to be my girlfriend. Weird, huh?

Friday: We went to Five Mile Drive on Point Defiance today. There are quite a few good viewing spots here. We took some good pictures and basically just spent some time together, didn't really do much else. Well, we went back down to owen's beach too and put back some more jellyfish and walked up and down the beach again. Other than that today was pretty uneventful.

Saturday: We went to chinatown in Seattle today! We took a ferry from Bremerton to Seattle, which was kinda nice. We took a few pictures on the ferry, one turned out really nice! When we got off the ferry we headed toward Umajimaya's. It's like a really nice asian market, and they have a cool bookstore that sells lots of manga. We walked around the international district and basically spent more time together having fun. We stopped in this little shop area and discovered we could go to Japan for $430 each, so now we're gonna have to do that! We also stopped in a little anime store there. They had a lot of good stuff! We got the FMA OVAs on DVD and the Rozen Maiden soundtrack. Yayness also found a shirt with Magic: The Gathering on it, so I HAD to get that, THANK YOU FOR SEEING THAT YAYNESS!!! So, at about 4pm we decided to head home. We took the long drive back from Seattle, since the ferry would take even longer for us to get home, and I had to get home and cook.

Sunday(again): Well, to tell the truth, I didn't like Sunday. I had to say goodbye to Yayness...*cries inside* It was painful to have to be apart from her again, though I guess it has to be. Now I can't wait til March! Yayness comes back for Sakura-con! YAY!!!!!!

Well that's my week for ya,
Styx

Have you ever felt useless?

2007-07-10T04:50:59Z

Cuz I have. My girlfriend has a recurring nightmare, and I can't do anything about it. I can talk to her and hope that helps, but really only thing I could do is be there next to her and maybe give her a hightened sense of protection. Maybe. I don't know for sure if it would, but I imagine it would help a little at least. I love her so much, and not being able to make her dreams happier ones makes me not feel so good. I would give a HELLUVA lot to be with her right now, and to make her nightmares into very pleasant dreams. This being life though...means I am utterly and completely POWERLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UGH! Ok, I'm gonna stop before I make myself feel even more useless at this point.

I have...

2007-06-11T07:18:33Z

...the most wonderful girlfriend a guy could ask for! I just spent a week with her, and I had the best time of my life! Of course Flight 961 nonstop to Seattle ruined that! Grrr! I wanted to stay so bad...as soon as I was separated from her....it HURT like HELL! I don't know how to describe it exactly, it just felt like my heart was being crushed...like if she's not there, there's nothing to keep it full...I know she loves me though, and that keeps me going. Though to tell you the truth...NOTHING compares to the feeling of holding her, and I'm sad I had to leave. As I was saying though, she's awesome. And I won't hesitate to tell you that over and over and over and over again til your ears bleed. Cuz she's just that awesome! :D And I'm going back to visit her again as soon as possible! She makes me happier than I thought I could be...even when she "punishes" me! xD

What the geeks and nerds want...

2007-03-28T07:51:32Z

Okay, Geeks and Nerds are guys too. They have just as many, if not more, fantasies about sex and having a girl of their own as most other guys. We have different tastes than the so called "popular" guys though. I'll start a list here to explain it to you.

1. We aren't as picky. So we MAY be desperate, but we'll take any girl who's just right for us. She doesn't have to be that "hot babe from the porn mag" or anything like that. As long as she's beautiful to us, that's all that matters. And hey, get this...We're the smartest people out there, and if we choose you, that just might MEAN something. We make the SMART choice to choose YOU.

2. We are more romantic than the "popular" guys. Since we just wanna make you happy(due to the fact we know something, if we keep you happy, you love us, we make you happier, you feel lucky), we tend to do things in a romantic way. With us, it's not just about sex...not saying sex is bad though *laughs hysterically* Ahem...in summary, we want someone who will let us just be plain good to them.

3. We'd be amazingly happy if you took up one of our interests as your own. Nerdy stuff. You know...Magic cards, Computers, Video Games, Anime, Band. That type of stuff.

4. Back to looks...we tend to choose girls who are naturally beautiful, they don't NEED makeup to look AMAZING. You see...these guys that choose the girls with all that makeup...wake up one morning with her next to them and realize "Damn, she's not that great looking without tons of makeup" Meanwhile we nerds and geeks wakeup with OUR girl next to us and she's got bedhead and everything, and think "Damn! She's sooooo cute!"

5. We tend to like girls that can think for themselves and are *gasp* smart! If you know how to spell and punctuate, and on top of that, can carry on an intelligent conversation, we probably would like or maybe even love you.

6. Sex. We're guys, we like sex. Sex is...good. Okay, just know this. Have you ever wanted to be the one in control during sex? I know most girls would love to get that chance. Well, good thing, we just wanna make you happy, so please, by all means, DOMINATE! LMAO...er...sorry...back on track... We want a girl who knows what she wants in bed, if she's indecisive she's probably not for us. Don't be afraid to tell us what you want, we won't tell you to shutup and ignore you, hell, we're getting some, lucky!

7. Many of us, against popular belief, CAN COOK! I myself am pretty damn good at it. Give me any recipe, I can probably cook it. Girls, we want someone who LOVES good food. If you're gonna eat nothing but salad and the like, STAY AWAY FROM US! But if you like a good meal, step right up! Don't be afraid if you gain a half a pound or maybe even a pound *le gasp!* we'll still love you, and you'll most likely burn that off just walking around. Ahem...or during sex. *looks around randomly whistling*

8. We want someone who wants to be a mother. Yes, we wish to pass on our geekdom and nerdiness. We want someone who wouldn't mind being a mother at some point. It would make us terribly happy if we could find a woman who wants to bear our children one day!

9. Lastly, we want someone who will just plain love us. We get stressed sometimes too. You wouldn't believe how hard it is fixing computers, and making so much money. =P Anyhow, just give us love and understanding. Make us feel wanted and needed and you'll have us, not til death, like in marriage vows, but Till the end of time!

8. Meet the perfect woman, and ask her to marry me.

9. Get married to that perfect woman.

10. Have 3 children with that perfect woman.

11. Become wealthy enough to allow my kids to have the opportunities I didn't.

12.Grow old with that perfect woman, become a grand and maybe GREAT-grandparent meanwhile reaching our golden anniversary and beyond.

13. Be able to look back on my life on my deathbed and be able think "That was more than worth it!"

Naruto Fanfic Chapter 1 of 6

2007-02-09T06:31:17Z

Hinata Hyuuga woke up to see the morning sun flooding through her window. She squinted as she sat up trying not to be blinded by the intense sunlight. Standing up, she put on her favorite outfit and headed toward the door. As she opened it, her cousin Neji walked by. “Good morning Neji-san,” she said as she headed the opposite direction down the hallway. Neji turned toward her, “Don’t you have a mission today, Hinata-sama?” he asked. Hinata didn’t turn around but responded, “Yes, I’m going to go say goodbye to father, and then head toward the fifth’s office.” Neji looked as she continued walking down the hallway. “This will be a hard mission for you, but do not fail, do what whatever you must to complete it,” he said. She turned toward him, “What do you mean?” she asked. He turned to keep walking. “You’ll see when you talk to the Hokage…” he replied and walked around the corner. Hinata wondered what he could possibly know. How did he know it, she wondered. She continued down the hall to where her father would no doubt be. She opened the sliding door to the outside training area, and noticed the normal traces left behind when Neji and her father trained. Slide marks from being pushed back, dome-shaped holes in the ground where Neji had used his Divination Whirl to repel one of her father’s attacks, and many footprints from the fast motion movements her father and cousin had made against each other. “Good morning father. I have a mission today, so I came to say goodbye.” Hiashi Hyuuga turned to her. “Did Neji tell you it will be a hard mission? By the look on your face, I am going to guess he did. He was correct, this will be a hard mission for you. I believe you are capable of completing it though. Should you complete it, you will do our clan great honor. So please choose your team-mates wisely. I can say no more about it though. Should you come back from this mission with complete success I will truly believe you are the future of the Hyuuga clan. Now go.”

Hinata walked toward the office of Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, wondering what this mission could possibly be to make her father say such things. She arrived at the office door, and knocked lightly. Tsunade’s assistant, Shizune, opened the door. “Come in Hinata,” Tsunade said loudly from her desk. Hinata proceeded through the door and stood in the normal spot in front of the Hokage’s desk where missions were assigned to waiting shinobi. “Hinata… I’m about to give you an S-rank mission…keep in mind Genin rarely receive these missions, but as all Jounin and Chuunin are currently on missions, I must use what I have,” Tsunade explained. “R-Right…” Hinata replied. “So I am going to tell you what your mission is now….You will take a team, of your choosing, to the hidden sand village. There you will meet up with Temari, who will join your team. You will then head to an area located near the hidden village of mist where there are reports of that village’s Jounin disappearing and several have been found dead. Whoever is doing this is a threat to both Konoha and the sand village. Therefore both villages will do what they can to stop this threat. I am asking you to lead this mission because of your awareness of your surroundings. Also, your Byakugan will be key to the success of this mission. So I suggest you take Neji as a team mate. I am already sending Sakura with you as a med-nin.” Hinata stood there stunned for a few moments before finally forcing out her voice. “I-I understand, but wouldn’t Neji be a better choice for Squad leader? He’s had more experience..hasn’t he?” Hinata asked. “Perhaps that’s true, but he’s not as aware as you are of the world around you. Also…he will not stop to think before proceeding, he tends to be narrow-minded and will only think about the mission. I had considered him…” Tsunade looked at Hinata. “But I made the right decision Hinata…you’re a lot stronger than people think. And you proved that to Naruto even. He has grown faster than any of the Genin, but he regards you as incredibly strong. He’s told me about what you’ve done on your missions. How you defeated that magnet ninja, and how you created your own way of using the Juuken ability.” Tsunade sighed. “If only he’d get himself a girlfriend like you, he’d be a very skilled and disciplined ninja in no time.” Hinata blushed. “G-girlfriend?” she whispered to herself touching the tips of her pointer fingers together nervously. “Did you say something Hinata?” Tsunade asked. “U-um no, sorry, please continue.” Tsunade smiled. “She must like Naruto. What anyone could see in that boy is beyond me…” she though to herself. “Ahem, yes, I believe you should take the rest of today to prepare all equipment and to brief your Konoha team-members for your mission. You will leave first thing in the morning tomorrow. I would send you out today, but seeing as you are all Genin facing someone that defeated Jounin…I would prefer you are very well prepared.” Tsunade put her hands on her desk. “Well Hinata, please make your preparations. And when you get home, please tell Neji he needs to see me. You are dismissed Hinata, I wish you luck and success!”

End Chapter 1

Something that seems to annoy me....

2007-02-05T05:25:44Z

Okay, here's something else that tends to drive me crazy. When girls say no one wants them, and no one could love them. This, in fact, is quite false. You see, many of the girls I know that have said this, I would, at one time, have gone out with. So it's not like people are incapable of liking them or anything. Sure, I'm not popular and whatnot. But many foolish girls think that a famous actor or something is just gonna fall in your lap? Not gonna happen. And then I know a girl who says she's going to kill herself every time it gets tough with her significant other. And this is not just once or twice, but once or twice a MONTH. Now, the other important thing to know about this girl, is that she is 14! That is what truely irks me. 14 is USUALLY too young to find your soul mate, so don't think the first guy or girl you fall in love with will be the one you marry. 16-17 I would say it's quite possible to find your soul mate, but not 14. At 14 you are still in your early teen mood swings and so forth. Your heart is very confused. Get this through your head, you are not gonna kill yourself! If you do, then screw you, you're NEVER gonna find a guy to love you. And if you fool around with killing yourself, I have no sympathy for your lonliness. I have one thing to say about hard times with your bf/gf....GET THE FUCK OVER IT! Sure it hurts, but not many can love someone who fools around with the idea of suicide. I don't want to see suffering, but if you don't get over it, you'll be stuck in a rut for the rest of your life. And make no mistake, it WILL be a miserable life if you follow that path. Now, this goes for guys too. I was NEVER a popular or wanted guy when it came to girls. But get this, I got rejected perhaps, but I MOVED ON! And now...I'm madly in love with a girl who wants and loves me as much as I want and love her. And it's cuz I DIDN'T GIVE UP! "If at first you don't succeed, try try again." It's a popular cliche saying, but when it comes down to it, it's a damn good one to follow when trying to find a relationship.

A rant

2007-01-31T07:10:13Z

So this is my first posting here. I'm basically gonna be pretty random.

First thing is this...I am getting pissed at certain things. I HATE when people drive SUVs, and talk on the cell phone at the same time. ESPECIALLY midlife soccer moms! They're the worst. Is it THAT damn hard to pull over and NOT almost hit people when you can't turn the steering wheel fast enough?! Oh, and then when you almost hit me you ask me why I wasn't watching where I was going. You actually HAVE that kinda fucking nerve?! It's called gimme your damn cell phone and I'll back a Ford Excursion over it bitch!
Next is..I work at Safeway, a grocery store. I get these customers, and they tell me I'm bagging things wrong. No, I'm just not bagging it like you would you uneducated, un-TRAINED asshole! I AM going to fucking bag your apples with you bananas and you're going to fucking like IT! Also. The bag will NOT RIP YOU FUCKTARD! You want me to double EVERYTHING cuz you think a SINGLE damn can of Chili is going to break through the bag! WRONG! The only time I double bag something is when I am putting FIVE, yes FIVE 2-liter bottles in a single bag! Believe it or not you can put TWO 2-liter bottles in a single layer bag, swing it around your head, and it WON'T FUCKING BREAK!!!!!!!!
Okay, yeah, that stuff pisses me OFF SO DAMN MUCH!
Oh, and another thing that pisses me off a HELLUVA LOT! ILLITERACY! If you HAVE the ability to spell stuff right and use CORRECT punctuation, PLEASE FUCKING DO SO! I don't wanna hear your little text message speak! No "txt msg" stuff. It's hard to type on a cell phone, so short versions of words are okay on them. BUT ON THE COMPUTER YOU HAVE A FUCKING KEYBOARD! YOU KNOW THE THING IN FRONT OF YOU WITH ALL THE LITTLE BUTTONS ON IT?! GOOD, YOU'VE SEEN IT, NOW FUCKING USE IT!

Okay, so now I'm done ranting for now.
Next edition: "Things that are good, or things I love." OR "More things I HATE!"
