So my DVD burner came a day early (yesterday) and I've already burned 5 DVDs. It's been a huge lifesaver, I now have tons of extra space to fill up. So that's what I'm doing :P

Started downloading Gunslinger Girl, and season two of Naruto. I looked into Fruits Basket, but from what I've seen so far, apparently the English subtitles are just the English voices subbed. I'll keep looking around, it got good ratings even with the weird subtitles. My biggest worry now is that by the time I get to school I'll have all this stuff downloaded, but none of it uploaded back to fix my ratio. Not that it really matters, because I probably already have a damn nice ratio that missing out on a bit won't harm it too much, but I'd like to have it fully uploaded anyway. I know I won't be able to do any real downloading at school, because they've got packet sniffers and so forth; not to mention the RIAA on their backs. I sure as hell don't want to get caught. I can't wait to get a job...

I got a thank you letter from Nazia yesterday I think, too. Which was nice, because all I did was go to her graduation party >.> Nobody else sent thank you letters, and I didn't send any out from my little "Graduation LAN Party" thing I did.

I need to get some fans for my computer soon... I worry that it might be a little to hot in there. Hmm...

I've become so addicted to WoW that there are now only three parts of my life. They include: 1)sleeping, 2)eating, 3)playing WoW. I gave up on using XFire because it kept disconnecting and its autologon feature sucks right now. Sometimes it takes it half an hour before it even TRIES to relog, even though it can relog right away if you manually log on again. Trouble is, manually logging on cannot be done from within the game you are playing (which is why I gave up), you have to minimize it. Minimizing WoW is no problem with a GB of RAM, it's just a pain in the ass. It still takes about 10 seconds, and thats 10 seconds I could have spent with WoW maximized and using XFire's in game menu's to relog if it had that feature. I have also degraded to some creature who is bored if he spends more than 10 minutes in one place that is not directly in front of a keyboard (not including eating, sleeping, or watching TV). I have become the epitome of sloth. It's fantastic. People say computer nerds are anti-social, but thats bullshit. I probably know twice as many people as any of my friends who don't spend their time mostly online. Now that I'm in the guild on WoW (named CORE), I can talk to them over Ventrillo and I'm even MORE sociable. Also, now that I've hit 54, EVERYBODY is inviting me to parties. It's fantastic. I'm getting invites to places I've never been before and am bound to get lost along the way to, and it's a blast. I wish I could get my best friends on it. And Jordan to come back...

In more obvious news, I have started posting on blogspot less and less. I belive this to be a direct result of paragraph one.

That Slow-churned ice cream stuff is AWESOME. Especially the orange stuff. Yeah. Delicious.

I went in for a job interview at Office-Max last Monday, and they said they'd contact me Friday and tell me if I had the job. I'm beginning to think that's just a running excuse to get me out of their office. WTF am I doing wrong...

I bought a DVD burner from Newegg on Sunday. It should be arriving Thursday before 4:30, assuming FedEx doesn't jip me. Looking forward to that. Dad's letting me use the DVD-R+'s he's bought in the past for 25c each which is a pretty big discount on actually buying them. (At about 40c each I believe) I can't wait, I'll finally have space on my anime drive...

Jordan has started up playing RO now... He even gave me an account that I don't think I'll ever play. RO was fun, but it was fun two years ago. Now that I've played WoW I can't stand the camera angles of RO, and how you cant change them... Not to mention it is just... boring... for me now. I remember back in the days of open beta... I think one of the best things about RO was that it was my first MMO. As such, every little thing about it amazed me. From the login tone, to how everything interacted with each other seamlessly. Leveling up was fun, I was able to explore new places and play with my friends. Now that I've played WoW though... I miss all the extra spells/abilities, and the shortcut bar... And using WASD to move... I hear RO has some pretty insane PVP action now, though. Meh. Warsong Gulch & Alterac Valley are more than enough to satisfy me, in addition to just walking around contested areas.

Hm... I'm going to head to sleep. Supposedly there is going to be an all night Risk game Wednesday night, but I doubt it because I was supposed to be informed on it's status on Tuesday and I wasn't.

Still no word from U of I who my last roommate is... I was supposed to get information early to middle of this month.

Mmm.. Yeah so I made an LJ, for mostly no reason. I don't plan on ever posting there, because I don't like how it's set up... blogspot is a lot easier to use IMHO. And you can get way more in depth in customization for it: you need to pay on LJ to go as deep as you can on blogger. Anyway, the user account is revenaut, not that it matters since I won't be posting there... Yeah. I'll probably start actually posting comments on Senpai's blog logged in now, so I don't have to remember to type -Adion at the bottom of every post. I know I've forgotten a few times, eheh.

My mage on WoW is now level 51, and I could go to Alterac Valley to participate in some hardcore PVP action now if I wanted to, but I don't right now because I know I'll get slaughtered because I'm so low leveled. And I'm not very good at PVP in the first place. I need to watch more movies of mages... I did Warsong Gulch twice yesterday, and it was a total blast. WSG is pretty much capture the flag in WoW, and it's the most fun I've ever had. From mass respawns all at the same time, to running across the map chasing the scummy gnomes, it's awesome. I even captured twice of six total times ^_^ Running the flag as a mage is great. I have no armor, and virtually no transportation abilities, but I do have skills to keep people away from me and thats all I need to make it back to our flag before them. As long as I'm running, I'm safe. Once I get into a confrontation, however, I'm screwed. Yehp. It's a lot of fun. I wish more people I knew played it ;_;. On my server. >.>

Yesterday was pretty boring in that there was no firework shooting off for me. That's pretty much the only reason why I like the fourth. I'm sure later on in life I'll like it for the day off, too, though.

Anyways, I mostly posted to post some quiz thingies that I saw on Becky-senpai's LJ. So, here goes.

You Are Coffee Ice Cream

Energetic and lively, you are always on the go. You're doing a million things at once and doing them well. You tend to motivate others and raise spirits. You are most compatible with chocolate ice cream.

What Flavor Ice Cream Are You?

You are elegant, withdrawn, and brilliant. Your mind is a weapon, able to solve any puzzle. You are also great at poking holes in arguments and common beliefs. For you, comfort and calm are very important. You tend to thrive on your own and shrug off most affection. You prefer to protect your emotions and stay strong.

The World's Shortest Personality Test

That was entertaining.

It occurred to me the other day that way back at ACen, the pillows were probably freaked out by us. I saw a live concert show movie clip of some other Japanese artist performing, and the people had their hands open, and sorta closed them kinda like when there was a beat... Yeah, at the pillows concert, it was fists and punching motions. I wonder if they thought we were going to try and kill them? Poor guys... Also, somebody was trying to ride the crowd. It was pretty funny, because the guards in front of the stage were like, blinding people with flashlights pointing him out, as if it would do anything. That concert totally rocked though. Even if I couldn't talk for a day because I was too busy yelling "THE PILLOWS!" after they were "done" to get them to come back. And I yelled all throughout the concert. That concert rocked.

And that's why I would make a time machine.

I was talking to Ryan yesterday, and I mentioned randomly, "i think if i was to randomly come across a few million for some random reason/i would buy a small house somewhere in the middle of nowhere where there are still grocery stores/and then i'd buy a LOT of cds/like, hundreds". I think I would. Mostly to shove it in the face of the stupid RIAA that I really would support the artists. I really just can't. Nobody hires an 18 year old with no experience and barely out of high school for any job but McDonalds, and I really don't want to have anything to do with the food market just in case I'll learn something I wish I never knew and won't be able to eat again. I'm dealing with Starburst being made completely out of animal fat as it is, I don't need more random knowledge like that.

Mmm. Starburst...

Anyways, that was my random update for the day. Maybe I'll start working on this more?

I've been kind of thinking off and on about the blog. I find it odd that somehow I managed to put up a new blog every day back when school was going on, and now I'm barely doing one every two weeks. I need to find more exciting things worth blogging about...

Nah.

Anyway, I had started up new characters on WoW on a different server, and then yesterday by chance I was walking out of town when I saw this guy had a really cool looking mask on. I stop, turn around, inspect him, and before I have time to turn around after seeing it was a Bad Mojo Mask, I get a guild invite. This is odd, because I didn't remember the guild I was in disbanding. But sure enough that guild had disbanded before I logged in that day, and they saw me as a high level unguilded mage. Apparently the guild is in need of mages. I got the invite, said ok, and now I'm in an active guild. I remember why I liked RO for a lot longer than I should have, now that I'm in one again. RO wasn't about the game. The game sucks. RO was about the people. The people make the game worthwhile. And it's actually a lot better when you're in a new guild with people you don't know. I was overwhelmed with "do this" and "do that"s to get me started (things like registering on the forums) but now it's much nicer. I've made friends with most everybody, and people are relaxed. It gives me a reason to want to try and hit the levelcap. I hope that when I do, there will be enough of us at 60 to do some instances and get me some good stuff. Yeah. So, if a game is really getting boring for you, invite some new people that you don't know. It really is a lot more fun.

I'm done for today...
