Eye Twitch

My eye has been twitching a lot today. Since around 6. It is annoying me to no end. Work was nice today. I spent the entire time vacuuming, I wish I could get Laundry every once in awhile. Anyway I am super tired.

So I forgot to mention something from my MLG trip. I had Lunch with my friend Mego! (she needs to update her blog) It was pretty awesome! I don't get to see her that often so it is always good to see her. It was totally worth missing Tyler signing at the Stride booth. You are that cool Mego. She did try to hand me a letter though instead of mailing it. Silly girl. I WANT MAIL!!!

On a plus note, I have been talking to Jackie a lot more lately. It's been nice. She is going off to college soon. it's nice to see someone excited about orientation.

I can't wait until this weekend, I have nothing to do, it is going to be so relaxing. I need to write a longer post tomorrow...

Jackie

You should read Jackie's Blog. I think we are equal. (plus I posted there tonight)

MLG Finally

So this post is going to be about MLG and it's awesomeness. I don't want to sit here and give you a play by play of the matches, so i will just hit the high parts. For me at least. I already mentioned the crowd and the excitement that it brings, but i want to state again how awesome it is to be in a group of people that all love and get excited about the same thing. Even if people beside me were rooting for the obvious wrong person it was still enjoyable. I think the best showing of this feeling was in the finals with Coca v Bomber. People were rooting for one or the other, obviously, me pulling for Coca, but still, everyone was excited when four banelings rolled into Bombers SCV line. Everyone was screaming in anticipation. When they exploded everyone went nuts. He killed 20 SCVs! He went on to win that game, but sadly lost the next two losing him the series. Bomber played quite well, but it was really coca who had the games and dropped them. Bomber is still awesome. Also, watching Naniwa get nuked was the sadest thing and the best thing at the same time. I almost cried for him. I love Naniwa.

Also met a brit there. He seemed to be stocking me, as he was also in my hotel. He was a neat dude and we talked about the tournament and other random stuff. Like walking in the rain and how brits are obviously better. ... His name was Charles. Cool dude.

Anyway, i got three MLG shirts and a MLG poster. I'm so excited. It's going to be hard to not wear them every day. I also want to buy more StarCraft shirts. I think that is it for now, though i want to start playing more StarCraft. Need too.

Substitution Awesomeness

So, this is Jackie, and I’m subbing in for Sean today. =) 

He’s a very sleepy panda. 

No, seriously, we’re skyping right now, and he keeps making funny noises and mumbling. And his eyelids are all droopy.

[I swear he keeps substituting ‘w’s for ‘r’s.
He just told me he was going to “get weady fow bed now.”]

It’s quite adorable.

But seriously, he needs to stop talking to me and go to bed.

Let’s see. Updates from Sean’s life:

1. He woke up at 5 am this morning (soooper early)
2.a. He got on the bus in Kernersville, and then realized he left his phone in his father’s car.

2.b. I was really worried when he didn’t text me at all today. I thought maybe the bus crashed.
3. He got to school and had classes and stuff.
4. Then he nommed and chilled before work.
5. Sean then went to work and moved mattresses. Lots’n’lots of mattresses.
6. After work Sean chilled with his roommates.

Now Sean is getting weady fow bed. Haha.  

Oh. Also (because this wouldn't be a very good blogpost if I didn't include Sean's nerdiness!) Sean is wearing his new MLG shirt! YAY! I do believe he's very excited about this. 

He also took apart his cube a little while ago. The 4x4 I think, though it may have been the 3x3. It's hard to tell when it's in pieces and you're looking through a computer screen. But that was some nerdy awesomeness. 

I think that about covers it. Sean should be back tomorrow, with his nerdiness and a full report on the awesomeness of MLG. 

Peace, Love & SDBFness,

Jax

MLG Finals

I have decided that any event that I can reasonably go to, I am going to go to from now on. That was one of the best weekends of my life. It was so amazing. I have to get up at 5 tomorrow to catch the bus back so I can get to classes however so I am going to delay this post one more day. back to where it is late news. Night world!

MLG Day Two

So day two was far better than day one. The matches mean more and they are getting better. I can't wait until tomorrow though. All the matches are going to be amazing it sounds like. It's going to be a GREAT Day.

Don't really want to write about it yet as I am still super tired. I promise I'll do a full post after MLG. Just going to say. Select and Kiwikaki are doing AMAZING! anyway, I'm heading to bed. Huge day tomorrow.

MLG Day One

So, honestly, after my first awesome day here, I am not much looking forward to this post. But I need to put some thing down now. First of all, I have never nerded out as much as when I started talking to Day[9]. I couldn't get the stupid grin off my face. He is just so amazing, and always so happy! He may have a limp because of his recent accident, but he has a limp with a HUGE smile! I also acquired a decent amount of MLG shirts as well as a poster for my room so it's not so....bare. MLG is just so amazing. I wish i could go to every event. I WILL go to at least one event next year. the feeling is just so amazing. Live StarCraft Matches are where it is at. Game 1, the first game of MLG and the crowd is already on the edge of it's seat as Idra stops JUST short of finding the proxy hatch. The cheers of the impressive and awesome. The baneling drop that we all see coming and kills twenty marines. The Drop ship that JUST makes it away, the nuke that causes huge screams and Naniwa to when the game had just really started. It's just so amazing. There will be more later guys. But i need to sleep so that i can actually see the matches tomorrow. Sorry, Matt, i know there is a blog post for me, but i will have to read it after MLG, there is just too much content.

Sam's!

Today was a pretty busy day for me. I forced it to be really. Though it's not ALL my fault. I stayed up super late talking to Jackie, so I needed to sleep in late. Not miss class late, but later than i was planning. Because of this I rushed around for the rest of the day, not really eating (sorry Mom) until i got to Winston around 9:20. But i got my classes done, I caught my bus, and I am now chilling at Sam's house for the evening. Sleep will be soon followed by driving to MLG. We going to try to get there early enough so that we can get Day[9]'s autograph. I'm so excited. This event is going to be so amazing. The closer it gets the more hyped I get. I can't wait until I get there.

I don't really know what else to write about here right now. I am still super tired, my brain isn't really up to snuff right now. Hopefully i can get some good sleep tonight so I'm not like this at MLG. I don't think I will be, even if I had to run all the way there. Anyway, I am going to make this a short post tonight and do a long one tomorrow about MLG day 1!

What a Day

My day has really not been the best. Which is odd, because I don't feel that way now. That could be because I am talking to Jackie. Or because I watched The Dark Knight, or most of it. But it is probably the first. I don't really know when I started noticing things go bad. It may be when I was late for work because FedEx has no idea what they did with my package and their system is down so they can't check. It is probably the package I found lying outside my door so mangled I could reach in and pull out what was inside, but I don't know for sure. Being late honestly didn't matter much because all I did was vacuum. I didn't mind this task. Though I have to admit, walking home was not fun. Nor was finding no dinner left or milk. Sad day for me. I'm quite hungry. But no matter, I got my other 3x3 and I am talking to Jackie. Good day.

And who cares about today because tomorrow I am heading home so I can go to MLG with Sam this weekend! I am so excited, he is too. And we are both getting hyped with the same video I linked yesterday! It is going to be so amazing. I'm looking forward to this more than I can say because I am quite tired at the moment. Speaking of excited. I have solved my 4x4 a few times and I am starting to get better at it. I had to stumble my way the first few times. Forgetting my special teaching session with Matt. At least the very helpful stuff, he did manage to impart the theory so I could do it!

Anyway, that is all. Silly Skype Conversations with Jackie lead to new profile pictures.

Just Sayin'

I just solved my 4x4!

For the love of the StarNation

So my title is a play off of Matt's Blog as well as an AWESOME Video which Sam showed me on YouTube. that is a lot of links in one sentence...anyway, he reminded me how much I love this game. Not that i had really forgotten, but the video just stirs up feelings in me. The same feelings i get when watching a StarCraft match. Nothing else has matched that sense of excitement for me. StarCraft is such an amazing game. Go play it! That is a free started edition so you can see how amazing the game is. I am so excited to go to MLG this weekend. I'm going to be at a live event. I don't know how I am going to survive the excitement when I am in the same dwelling as Sean "Day[9]" Plott. The most amazing man on the earth! I am pretty sure I will die if I get close enough in person.

So all my cubes came today? How odd? Since I figured one would be here yesterday, and the other some time next week. But all here today. sadly, one is at the FedEx place here in Boone because they can't get anything here. So I am going to have to switch to all USPS. I may try the package desk and see how long it takes them to process things. It may still be quicker that way! Anyway. I have my speed cubing set, which is the one I wanted more anyway, as it came with three cubes. The YJ 3x3 and 2x2 and a QJ 4x4. They are all amazing. The YJ 3x3 is so fast! I feel like it is going to break in my hands. I have yet to solve my 4x4 but it will be done before i go to bed tonight! I have an un"box"ing video for them!

So Jackie has been going through rough times lately. They haven't really seemed to improve, just plateau for a bit, then get worse. I am really hoping things get better, though it is going to be a long process no matter what. . .

Names

So I was doing a "style" thing in my blog with no names given. But it was terrible and i have wanted to stop for a very long time and now is the time to do so. Some names that I have used are terrible and i hate them, besides that it was super confusing. I will still be using pumpernickel though for my friend Mego! Anyway, that is just a press release of sorts. On to important stuff.

My friend, Sam, that I "play" StarCraft with finally got a blog after my mad hints. I actually enjoyed his first posts a good bit. After he got past his lists. I kinda hope he keeps up with it, just because I feel like it could be really awesome! I'm spreading my blogging to people, as it was spread to me by others!

So no new cube today. I was super bummed. Especially since i got called into work early. I was really hoping it would be waiting for me when I got back. I also met my co-worker wade today. He is special which is why i had to go in early. He is very interesting, I don't really know what is wrong with him. No problem to work with and quite nice! Tomorrow, though, cubes for sure, according to Amazon. I am going to do an unboxing video, even if i feel a bit silly about it now. It was my cubing friend, Matt's, idea. I feel bad because he I was texting him today and then just dropped off the planet. I never mean to do that, and then I feel super bad about it... He sent me this about a cube his brother is getting. It looks intimidating to me. Need more Cube knowledge...

So my sdbf, Jackie, has started blogging again. Not very happy blogs sadly, but then everything can't be upbeat all the time! I'm hoping for massive improvement there though. I think she will be happier when she moves off to college, but unless the problems get resolved i still feel like they will cause her way too much stress.

I'm playing Final Fantasy III right now! Literally right now. It is on my DS beside me. My friend who is selling most of his DS games gave me a ton that he think I will really like. I am very much looking forward to FFIII. I want to play all the Final Fantasy games. I probably won't because that stuff is expensive, but still. Anyway, classes start tomorrow and i need to do dishes, so night all.

3rd Floor Frank

I saw a ton of my old friends today from last year. It was an amazing experience. Before that happened, however, I woke up and went shopping as a group with my roommates. Hopefully this will be the last time for this week. We did a pretty decent job i think between the three of us, hopefully it will hold us over. I forgot to get more cereal however. Which is pretty much my favorite thing to eat ever. I eat it all the time. But we still have some, so i think we will be good!

Anyway, i went to New China Buffet today. It is amazingly tasty, so much good food! I was invited by my old roommate and saw a ton of my old friends (this part sound familiar?). There were 19 people eating together, counting me. It was the largest group i have ever been with. Talked with most of them a good bit. Rotated chairs and what not. Such a good time. Then I had four of them over to my house to play Brawl and other such Nonsense. And while i didn't do that well in Brawl, it was still a superb time!

Both of my mail corespondents have received their letters! I am now just waiting for them to write me back! Next time i write letters i have two more people to whom i plan to write. I love mail! Also, guess who has a solving video on YouTube!!! Not me, BUT!  HIM!!! Watch and learn how to solve the UFO "cube".

Job...

So I had my first day at work today, it was awesome! I do laundry, tons and tons and tons of laundry! Yes it did need that many. It was still amazing though. it is just so relaxed there, and the people are all awesome! Of course, I shall be working at night most of the time and not mornings like I did today, so there will be more people to meet. Sadly however my job is gone come December. They are turning the inn into student housing! Which sucks! I was told they would try to fit me in in other places after it closes. We'll see how that goes. Oh well, it will be fun while it lasts. I'll worry about the other job later!

Today was a pretty chill day though. Finally bought a candle for the kitchen. Smelled like garlic and onions...not always what you want to smell when you walk into the apartment. Now it is all good though. Also got a mop. Quite necessary.

Last thing for today before I head to my sleepy bed, I was taught how to solve a 2x2 and a 4x4 today! I'm super excited for my cubes to get here! I want to play with them so bad! Cube Buddy is also very excited! I'm hoping to start understand this stuff close to the level he does. Anyway, off to sleep.

JOB!

So, as it turns out I do have a job! I start work tomorrow at 9am! I am very excited. I get money? And my mother is happy. PLUS if everything works out very well, I could possibly be able to stay here over the summer and take classes. Which is my main goal. Or maybe just stay here and work and get money. I don't know why I want to stay up here over the summer. But on the whole Kernersville makes me quite sad. Not that there aren't super awesome people around there. I'm look at you and you (would like to StarCraft buddy). There is also cube buddy's girlfriend. She is pretty awesome. My family as well. Though they could all come and visit I would still miss them something awful if I stayed here. But that is a long way off!

Anyway, I cooked today. By myself, for the first time. I mean I have "made" myself stuff in the past, but this is the first time that I have really cooked. Took some chicken and coated it with garlic and sea salt, which is a mixture we have in out cabinet. Chopped up and onion and some more garlic and cooked this all in a pan with some jalapenos. Put that mixture in a tortilla, with salsa, sour cream, and fresh shredded cheese. It was tasty if not a bit odd sounding.

I ordered my cubes today, 4 new cubes! 2 3x3, a 2x2, and a 4x4. I am so excited. Plus they are shipping here....I like having my own mail, but I don't know how that will work. But i have to get up early tomorrow, so I am off to bed!

Job?

So I may actually have a job by tomorrow. The way it seems, it is already set, but I just won't feel right until I know for sure. But I have a piece of paper that says I can be hired now. Go me! And if I do have a job tomorrow I am going to buy myself a congratulations present! This! (totally bad grammar?) It doesn't have a lanlan 3x3 like Cube buddy suggested to me in his latest post, but he also did suggest these cubes to me as well. In the set. Which is nice and cheap. So hopefully I will have a job, because I really want these cubes....so bad.

Okay, onto other things. I have really been missing my SDBF as of lately. We have stopped really talking for awhile now. I feel that we are both a good bit busy, her with her supernatural and me with my new roommates and everyone getting back to Boone. Oh, and the video games. Lots and lots of video games. It'll happen soon. She will be getting her letter. Speaking of which, I hope pumpernickel has her letter (I don't think she knows where she got her new nickname, nor if she has seen it, as she doesn't stalk me as heavily)!

I noticed something today while talking to my sdbf. I have actually thought of it before, but only in passing. My life really hit a point where it had a MAJOR shift. And now that i think about it even more it was more than just one thing. I was going to say how it shifted around my ex-girl. When we got together. But a lot happened around that time. This was all right after I got my Gall Bladder removed, which is where i feel the shift starts. It was also when i first "cheated" on a girl I was in a long distance relationship with. For my now ex. It was also around the time where i started to define my friends. I started actually hanging out with my cube buddy, though at the time it would be more of a card buddy. It is also when I started doing more with my starcraft buddy. I was friends with both of them before this of course, but it's when I felt our true friendship start. More than just people I talked to at school. And there is a divide there. Pre 2010 and post 2010. Never have I seen my life shift as i have there. I find it interesting...

Fantastic Dinner

So today was an interesting day. First off, I think I got a job today at Broyhill inn doing housework! I am very excited! I really needed a job and that was much easier than I thought it would. It makes me breathe easier. But enough about that boring stuff. I started played Grand Theft Auto IV. A game that I had never really been interested in, but today I decided to give it a second chance and I have become hooked. It is a really awesome game!

Okay, now on to the really nice stuff. My "new" roommate's girlfriend and her roommates had me, him, and my Frank RA friend over for dinner. They made a TON of baked spaghetti. More than I have ever seen in a home sitting. It was still very tasty however and I enjoyed the "dinner party". Of course all good things have to come to an end, for them, when I whipped up on them in rummy. Destroyed. Probably won't be as easy the second time, they won't be nice to me. Another awesome thing about that dinner was that I was able to unload all my recycling off onto them, who have the ability to recycle.

Last cool thing for the day. My Cube Buddy has posted a new video of his unboxing. It's his first one! He is so nice he bought his brother 4x4 because his brothers is a piece of shit! Anyway, he is awesome, so you should watch it. And like it! That is all for today!

Short Post

For once this actually may be true. I talked to my Cubing Buddy today and that was good fun. Cubing discussions are so awesome. He has his solving time for his three by three to under 40 seconds! Keep working man!

I also played Section 8 today. That is a pretty fun game. I heard DJWheat talk about it a long time ago. He said it was so interesting and was sad that it probably wasn't going to go anywhere. A friend bought it for me because it was so cheap. Which is awesome. Free game!

Besides that the only two other things I did today was get my books (4 huge ones of course, plus an odd clicker thing). And talk to Pumpernickel on the phone. For 2 hours! WHAT! where does time go like that? Didn't even realize. Anyway, I have a dinner to go to tomorrow, so that will be nice. And something to talk about!

Riddles

Man, I thought I didn't do anything yesterday, but today was even worse. I only left my apartment one time, and that was for only a few minutes while I mailed out some letters. So they are now on their way. Shouldn't take too long. I hope you are appreciative random person in New York. Also, I didn't go look for a job today, tomorrow with "new" roommate for sure. Don't tell my mother, she won't be too happy....

Literally today, all I did was eat lunch, dinner, before bed snack, play some games, and read. The game is where the title of the post came from. I've been playing Arkham Asylum, and there are a ton of riddles and stuff in that game and i have been hunting for them as I play. It has taken a good deal of time, but i think i have found most of them. So that is pretty awesome! I played some StarCraft with My StarCraft Buddy today. We won a game that we never should have won. But thanks to DT's Amazing power, we were able to pull out a win! Yay us.

So, "new" roommates girl is sleeping over tonight. I missed her over the summer. She is a cool cat. Yes I did just say that. Didn't get much time to talk to her however, they went to bed quite early. I've had to be quiet since then. It's weird having to worry about that. I'm used to the apartment being empty at all times at night. Strange. Anyway, that is my day. My head it reeling from all the side stories i have learned in Arkham, Batman has such a rich history.

Letters

Okay, so a short post today because I am about to go got bed. That and I didn't do much today at all. So we'll start with yesterday. I wrote three letters yesterday, so yes, you people expecting letters they are done and will be on their way soon. I realized today that it was Sunday and there was no reason to mail them. So tomorrow! I love snail mail! Also happening "yesterday" I finally finished the 4th harry potter book. Taking me longer than the first three combined it feels. The rest will only go slower now that I am in Boone. It's also the 5th book, which is my least favorite. He is so angry, why so angry? Plus, cool people die...grr.

So "new roommate" made some meat sauce today with some pasta. it was very tasty, and so amazing to have meat again. I have been eating vegetarian for a few days and that was nice, but i love me some meat every once in awhile. In cubing news, because it has been far too long since that was in here, my quickest time so far is 2 min 30 seconds. I still feel myself moving slowly, and checking things I KNOW are solved. I'm getting there, hopefully. I tried to play StarCraft with my SC buddy, but his game has stopped working for the moment. So we stumbled along in Magicka for awhile; dying the entire way.

And that is pretty much my day. It was quite boring. Tomorrow starts my job search! Man i hope i find one quick.

Caught Up....Kinda

So, I'm now caught up in my blog posts. Though it is already too late really. I will remember that I missed this day most likely. And it will bug me. Oh well, i don't even have a good excuse. I didn't go to bed super late or anything like that. I just stopped playing Arkham Asylum and went to bed. Woke up to a text asking me where my blog was. Thanks sdbf for the heads up, I would have never known. It was also good motivation to actually get out of bed as I really just wanted to sleep more. I really need to fix that.

My StarCraft friend got back from Austria yesterday, and we actually got to do stuff today. That is something that has not happened in ages. It was nice playing starcraft again, and magicka after StarCraft. We are both so bad at that game now. We didn't even make it halfway through the level. Though they did nerf a lot of the imbalance in that game. making it a lot harder. Grr, we'll make it through eventually.

So, roommate swap happened today. Kinda. I have only seen my "new" roommate for about 15 min while he was here with his girlfriend and her parents. And now it is super quiet in here. I got freaked out for a second when I saw a bug that i have never seen before scurry across the floor. I am now convinced that it is either a super poisonous bug that are here in mass and will kill me when I sleep, or is some kind of alien that will kill me in my sleep. Basically, I am going to die tonight. Man I love my imagination.

I went to Frank hall tonight to chill with my friend who is a RA there. Went on rounds with him and started to corrupt his floor children with tales of what we did last year. I had help from my old roommate who showed up towards the end. It was very enjoyable. I also got a bag of my clothes back from him, I was so happy! I lost them in the move last year at the end of school. It had my favorite socks, my favorite shirt, and my favorite, and only, scar! As well as my other towel. It was such a good bag!

Missing...

So I forgot to blog  last night. I feel horrible bad, I don't understand how I could do this terrible thing. The worst thing about not missing a post to my cubing friend. He had claimed that I had already done it, to learn that he was wrong....maybe he can see into the future. Oh well, I am going to do two today to make up for my missed one. And since today has basically just started for me that won't be that hard for me.

So yesterday was pretty awesome. I lubed my cube for the first time with cube buddy. He got on a skype call with me and told me how to do it! As well as just talking about life! I also went shopping for the second time in two days, but this time I feel like we got a decent amount of stuff and don't need to go shopping again. I also got a book of stamps, so I can now write letters! I have two that need to be written. I have an excuse for one, I lost the address for this person a ton. Plus they just moved. Anyway, I will get those off soon.

So I am changing roommates today. The one that has been here for the past few days is going home for awhile. And the one that has been gone is coming back...with his girl's parents...Anyway, there is also our Ninja Roommate, who we don't see often but gets things done. But yeah, it's been a very interesting few days. But I am very hungry, so i'mma go now..

I Need a Better Cube

So i made a cube solving video today. The first one, obviously , that I have ever done. I am alright with the video as it was a decent solve time. Just under 3 min! But it did tell me that I need a new cube. I can't stand how that one turns. But before I get a new cube I would like to learn how to do everything in would need to do. Such as lube...just lube really, I just wanted to make it sound more awesome. Anyway, I'll probably talk to my cube buddy about that next chance I get. I missed him on Skype today sadly. I've left my computer open for most of the day.

Before I say anything else I NEED to talk about Custard Depot. It is one of the tastiest things I have ever eaten. I have never had frozen custard, but I can not wait to try it again. I had it when I first moved in so this a a little late.Still awesome. I went shopping with my Roommate today. We needed a pot and a paper towel holder. While out shopping we tried to remember if we needed anything else and came up mostly blank. As soon as we got back, however, we remembered a ton of stuff. We now have a list longer than the things we bought the first time. Sad fact.

I am going to talk to my SDBF tonight. I can't wait, it has been such a long time since we have spoken. I have so many things to talk to her about. I hope I don't blank on them. So I am going to wrap up here so I will be ready.

BOONE!

Alright! I am finally moved into my apartment. I was so worried about the process but it was the easiest move in i have ever had. The room is all set up already and everything is nicely put into place. I may take some pictures of it, but those will be here tomorrow by the earliest. My roommates are pretty awesome (which i already knew), they helped me move all my stuff up the stairs making it even easier! Also, my vegetarian friend made some delicious pasta with a very tasty sauce. It's strange, but all four of us still haven't been in the apartment at the same time. And I don't think we will for a good while with the way people keep leaving!

I still haven't talked to my sdbf, it is the dumbest thing in the world that we can't find a little amount of time to just talk. It'll happen eventually, but it is annoying me to no end. That's all i have to say here.

So i am in love with my new Rubic's cube. I did a solve for the first time today paying attention on the time and it was somewhere around five min. That really isn't that bad. I'm having some problems taking it apart though, which would help me in my solve times, though the lack of cutting corners is what is killing me. I asked my cubing friend and he gave me some advice on taking it apart so hopefully I'll be able to get that done. He also put a ton of pressure on me by saying that he thinks I will be a decent cuber. PROOF! Near the end. I really would like to though. It's really easy for me to just do casually though as I love to fidget anyway, so I am hoping for awesomeness.

I need to head out though. There are guests here and I am being rude by doing this real quickly.

Eyes

So I am really tired so this will be a quick post. I have managed to solve the cube a good number of time, but I still enjoy messing up the algorithm on the last step so bad I need to start over. It is very painful, but I can't stop solving it every spare second. It is currently scrambled, and may stay so until tomorrow. But then again. Maybe not.

I went to the eye doctors today, got some new glasses ordered. It's nice because I was wearing a makeshift pair. My real pair broke on the night I "broke my face" as some of my friends like to call it. My eyes are not much worse and they are nice and healthy! I did get my eyes dilated today, which game me a headache for the rest of the day. Light still seems a bit painful, but that may be just from the headache...it's a circle.

So I move to Boone tomorrow. I am so excited. I can't wait to get up there. My stuff is already packed. It took me awhile, but suprisingly my mothers car has a TON of room so I was able to fit everything easily, besides the bed, desk, and dresser that is. But I have my dad's truck for that mess. Anyway, i said this would be short and it's about average, so I am off to sleep and eventually BOONE!

R' D' R D

Another late post, but this time it isn't my fault at all. I was planning on a nice evening at home relaxing for the most part when my great cubing friend asked if I wanted to do something tonight. The answer to that is always yes, unless I have other plans, but usually even then as we don't get to hang out as often as I would like. And seeing as I was already in Winston, the place where he lives and where we hang out (the Starbucks by my mothers work), it seemed as if it was meant to be. After I finished up my business in Winston, buying dress clothes so I actually have some when the time arises, I head over to the Starbucks unprepared for what the evening had in store for me. My friend got me my very own 3x3 Rubik's cube and taught me how to solve it! I have already solved it twice today, and did a solve of his 2x2, and I am going to solve it one more time before i go to bed (if I can manage, my brain is quite tired). I'm so excited!

I talked to my roommates today for the first time this summer really. It's nice to know that they were paying attention to me at least even if they weren't replying. They noticed when I moved the day I was moving in, which was originally the 9th, back a day. Makes me feel good. I can't wait to get up there. It is going to be nice, and very weird having an apartment. I have never lived in a place that was "mine". I almost feel that it shouldn't be happening yet. Either way I am very excited. One more day!

Things are better with my friend that I had the argument with. My SDBF, or superest dooperest bestest friend. It's cheesy and corny and comes from a joke mostly, but I think it aptly describes us...for the most part. But we are doing much better. Hopefully tomorrow we'll actually get to talk as we have been planning it for a good long while. Who knows though. Tomorrow night is pretty up in the air as it is my last night in town. Hopefully though.

Anyway, it's bed time, and I need to finish this cube before I head to bed, so here is where I end this post.

P.S. The title is an algorithm i learned today. After 6 iterations it will take the cube from unsolved back to solved. It's awesome. 

Late

Well, this is quite late. I have about 6 min until it will technically be tomorrow when I post this. I felt the desire to go for a walk though and if I don't it will plague me until I do. It was not a good walk if anyone was curious.

So today has been interesting. I took a nap today for the first time in a long time. A real nap! It felt pretty good to actually achieve my plans for a nap. Usually they are waylaid by other things. It was cut short, however by cutting grass of my grandmothers yard, which was quite simple. In other news for today I saw Ret take the EU Blizzard invitational. Sad for Naniwa, he was so unhappy that he got second, even if he gets to go to Blizzcon. He is a winner, wants the gold. Always.

So I got into a fight with my friend last night. I don't know if I am entirely over it. I am enough so to not be mad, well, in general a least. I am still quite mad at myself. I feel my anger got a little out of hand and I feel bad about it. I hate losing control. I lash out like an idiot and try to hit the weakest spots I can find. I don't think I did this last night...but I don't know for sure. Today hasn't improved things much. For most of the day I was shunted to the wayside. I can't be angry at her for this though, as I am the one that brought it about. I just wish I could go back and change a few things. It was SO close to being fine. So very close. But our flaw of never being able to end calls quickly came back and haunted me. Towards the end of the day things were improved, though that might be because she got tired and sort of went into a sleepy texting stage. All I know is that I hope this blows over soon.

So i move to Boone it twoish days. Wednesday. I'm excited...also, it's tomorrow. Darn.

Time

I really wish there was more than 24 hours in a day, or that I didn't have to sleep. Sleep is one of the most annoying things in my life. I really wish that I didn't have to do it. It eats up way to much of my time. The only time I have ever enjoyed sleep is when I have had the warm body of someone I care about with me. Otherwise I just find it pointless. What this really boils down to is I feel like I don't have enough time during the day to do everything I want to do. Part of this stems from a desire to keep the people around me happy with me. I don't want my friend, over seas at the moment, to hate me because I can't play StarCraft with him. So I try to play a little. But I don't want my mother to get mad at me for playing StarCraft at four in the afternoon. If I try to just please my friend I get stressed from my mother, even if she isn't trying to do anything to bring this about, and I play terribly. If I just please my mother, my friend is sad and I feel bad for him trying so hard to find a time for us to play at all, or ever talk. Trying to do both as i did today means I feel bad to both parties and I play terribly.  And then I get on here and complain about time. Gah.

Anyway, tomorrow is looking awesome. Early work to most likely mowing my grandmothers yard to clothes shopping. I detest shopping for myself with people. Especially clothes. I have no fashion sense at all. I have no clue how to dress myself; I ware clothes that all just go together.

I am making my self more angry by writing this. I need to just stop. Who needs plans anyway.

It's Funny...

You used to get mad at me when I wasn't in a talking mood and I just wanted to disappear. You used to get scared when I would go away for short spells of time. You would get so mad and worried. And now here you are, too depressed to talk. Just took a shower and just sat alone. Am I mad? Only at the injustice. But I am quite sad. I have been hoping to actually talk to you for days now. I'm sure we'll get around to it eventually. Eventually...

On a much brighter note, I worked 5 hours on my day off! That is a maximum paid work day for me! but I did it for free! Complaining about lack of pay aside; it was an awesome time. I don't get to work with a scissor lift very often (not a fork lift like I mistakenly called it today...I don't know why i always get them confused). We moved some pretty decent sized speakers around a corner and over about 20 feet. On a broken lift, it didn't want to stay up in the air. I t would slowly sink as me and my father worked. We never noticed it falling, we would just notice that things got harder to reach and then realize that we had slipped down a good 18 inches. (This is a story that I was hoping to tell you...)

I have fully abandoned my plans for Harry Potter, I could finish the books in time, but I would have to stop almost everything else, and I would like to maybe see some people before I leave. Oh well, I feel this most getting more and more depressing so I'm going to just end it here.

Bacula

What an evil thing Bacula is. At the moment it is causing me great troubles at work. Though technically it is OpenSuse that has been causing me my woes. However, I would never have to work with such OS IF Bacula was being updated for CentOs. Hopefully this 8th install will be the install that works...oh and the drive won't sound like a herd of elephants.

So i slept a bit later today than  i was hoping. I was trying to get up at a decent hour. I almost got up at 10:30, but decided to turn over and sleep for a little while more. Next thing i know it is 2:00 and I am jumping out of bed cursing myself for sleeping so late. Also, a friend was in a dream of mine. I told her most of it, but failed to mention the part about us discussion what my mother most fears with me and her. It was a very weird dream and has made me scratch my head a great deal as I have no idea where it came from at all!

Anyway, moving day is getting closer. The tenth is a date that is LOOMING over me. Once i arrive I'm sure it won't be as horrid as I am thinking. Still, these are the type of things I worry about; anything that requires a social interaction. I'm social on the internet. Where i can shy away from my awkward nature. Oh Damn, I just remembered I need to write people letters...

Title to Come

So, i am beginning to give up on finishing Harry Potter before i leave for Boone. I have taken up a new hobby as of lately and it is eating up a lot of my time. Marvel vs Capcom 3! After EVO I had been itching to try it and I already owned it I saw no reason not to attempt to play. That game is so crazy I can say with complete certainty that I am horrible at that game. I use almost the same team as Justin Wong with Akuma and Wolverine, but I have traded out his tank of She-Hulk for Dante. I can hit a few of their moves and some combos but never when i need to hit them. I can still beat my brother, but he also hasn't but as much into the game as I have. He doesn't even have a team together yet. Hopefully this will no stop me from finishing, though it will hinder me for sure.

Another thing on the menu is another blog. Not mine, but a friend's. He is a novice cuber, which I feel would be his words as to me he is pretty good at it. Either way check out his cube-tastic blog if you are curious about cubing, or if you just wan to read some interesting words.

Also, sadly i was 85 texts into a conversation before I realized that I was texting someone different than i though i was. The problem being that I know two people by the same first name and last initial, which was all that was in my phone. I feel like a complete idiot, especially since I have done this before with a different friend of mine, but this was even worse as it was over facebook which has pictures. Hopefully he will be none the wiser and as I am sure (hopefully) that he doesn't read this blog as I have not told many people of it's creation. But now it is time to read and then sleep.

Alone

Usually a not so happy thing, alone to me at the moment is a wishing word. Tuesdays are usually a day I can wake up late and enjoy the empty house for awhile before I start my day. Not today however, my brother didn't have work, which wasn't really the main problem. The main problem was that my car has been acting up and my father was over here to help fix it. We both have Tuesdays off. I work with my father and I see him all the time for great lengths of time during the day so when he is here as soon as I wake up asking me to start working on the car it makes me angsty. I don't function as well. And I know that it is crazy as he is helping me fix my car, but i would just like a SMALL amount of time alone.

Anywho, enough complaining for one day. I got checks today in the mail! I feel so grown up. I've never had them before. I doubt I will use them that much as I can send checks out online thanks to my amazing credit union Allegacy! Still, it is always good to have a back up plan.

I finished the third Harry Potter book today. I feel as if I am slowing down. I need to pick up speed again. I'm leaving next wednesday, and if I want to finish by then I have a good bit or reading to do! Speaking of which, I'm going to close this down and go start reading more.

Grammar Nazi

I just got back from hanging out with my friend who is a giant Grammar Nazi. Upon reading my blog he started finding numerous mistakes that i have made. I have already fixed the ones that have been pointed out to me, but it saddens me that he could find so many so quickly. Regardless it was a wonderful evening full of cards, coffee, Sheetz food, and rubix cubes! I do hope I get to see him one last time before I head back up to Boone. It's getting close to when it's time for me to move into my apartment. I'm quite excited.

MLG and EVO were amazing. None of the players i wanted to win won though. Not even close. Though EG.Jwong did make it to top 3 in Marvel vs Capcom 3. Watching the finals of MvC3 was still amazing, however. PR Rog made some AMAZING comebacks. It's sad that he lost to Viscant. I would love to have seen him win it all after that amazing match reset. Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition was also very awesome. Seeing Brokentier Latif fight all the way back from losers to have a rematch with Fuudo was great. Even if Fuudo did make easy work of him. Latif's defeat of Tokido, Poongko, and most importantly Daigo is epic enough for him. He played very well.

MLG didn't offer me as much sadly. Though Tyler beating a top Korean is amazing. It's a pity he fell way down after that point. All of my people did. Leaving only Koreans in the top slots. The finals were still awesome to watch, though I enjoyed the Boxer v MMA match the best. master and apprentice facing off to see who would go to the finals was amazing. Sad Boxer didn't make it, but third is not bad. especially with everyone saying that he just wasn't going to amount to anything anymore. Still glad that MvP took a win though. It's nice to see new faces. Just wish it was a foreigner (which in StarCraft means non-korean).

All in all a great weekend, now it is time to return to Harry Potter.
