So yeah...

I kinda forgot I had my LJ, and then, boom, the need to post hit. Sorry.

So I finally got to leave the bank for good. I hated that fucking job so much. Now I'm making MORE money at GameStop as Assistant Manager. It's fun, I like the job and the people. :) So that's nice.

Life is.... Well, it has it's ups and downs. But really, I think that goes for just about everyone, yeah? Yeah.

You know, when I started this post I had SO much more to say.... Now I can't think of it. Damn. Must be because it's so late. Oh well. <3 Just wanted to toss out an update while I was here.

Haha, I'm not dead...

Lynam Says...
Yeah, sorry for the long time-no talkey. Not like this update's really going to be informative anyway... It's just a crack update. I was bored.

The words "I was bored" have started off many a blog, I'm sure. Usually they're full of crap you don't really care about. ... Hey, at least you knew what you were getting yourself into, here.

15 Random Facts:
-Think up 15 random things that most people don't know about you. Share. Simple. (yeah, I got this from a friend. Turns out I'm really that bored.)

1) My favorite scar is the one I got playing Capture the Flag a couple of years ago. Nothing like a four inch scar under my elbow to remind me how much fun begin forcefully thrown into a tree can be. Yep, thrown into a tree. Kept playing for another 2 hours with it just bleeding and all. It was SO much fun, totally worth it.

2) After being called such on XBL for the past couple of months now, I find that I prefer "Grifs" to my real name. Sadly, I've also become more adept at answering to it as I will turn around to "Grifs" before I will to Suzy... It's sad really.

3) Getting tattoos is a turn on. I think I'm just a closet masochist here. I just kind of like the pain. Weird.

4) Of all the characters I RP with (other people's characters) I only know maybe 25% of their fandoms. Which seems kind of sad since they're coming from more popular series like Final Fantasy (never played it) and Gundam 00 (never watched/read it). I only know what I've seen from the RPs.

5) This is my favorite pic of Markypants (aka Mark Lynam):

I wish I looked better... But I think he's sexy when he gives his real smile, as seen here. He has a habit of giving out that "Oh shit, not another picture" smile a lot. I prefer the real one.

6) If I ever got stoned, I think I'd listen to Abby GoGo. (A local band in Tuscaloosa, kids I went to high school with). I bet they're ten times better that way.

7) Sometimes in Halo, when playing a custom game with Chicken and Red Rings, I let them kill me. Yeah, I don't really even try... just enough to make it look like I was. It's like a courtesy kill, I owe them for lots. Plus, it gives me something to whine about while letting them keep their manly bragging rights. Doesn't bother me in the least.

8) This is a really horrible one. I SWEAR I'm not as shallow as this is going to seem... It's just because of how I get treated around work... I ignore most of my coworkers because I feel I am more educated than them (which, sadly, is true... college degree and all vs GEDs and standard diplomas)... And I just don't like them, it kind of leads to the ignoring.

9) Everyone likes Maiden... Not me. It's sacrilege for a metal DJ (such as myself) not to be a Maiden fan. Sorry guys, I'm just not into them. Don't care for them at all, actually.

10) Trent Reznor's 43 years old... I'd still hit that. He's the one man I would NEVER say no to.

11) My sister is such a screw up that I almost don't think of her as part of the family. She's more like a parasite. I know that may sound so ridiculously harsh... but honestly, if you knew the situation, you'd feel the same way.

12) I don't think Jon's band will ever make it. He's a good friend of mine and talented guitarist... But DD's just not talented enough and I don't think any of them are truly into it. Sure its fun, but they don't have the drive needed to take them all the way.

13) I still think Krautdawg (German guy I used to work for as Business Manager of 90.7FM... And HE picked that name, not me.) is an idiot. I also know some fun facts about him that are pretty guarded. I get a lot of those type confessions. Too bad I'm still a good person and will probably never spill those facts out... Even though he certainly deserves it.

14) Sometimes I wish I could be more of an evil bitch and call people out on their bullshit. I'm just too fucking nice to do it... I hate being so nice.

15) I like being fought over and for. It's always a great day on Halo when I die and someone (normally Chicken) goes and kills half or all of their team for it. Or when people are being bitched in the pregame lobby and my friends step up for me. Love it.

There, 15 things you probably never knew about me and wouldn't have ever found out about otherwise. I'm still bored... so I'm going to go find something else to entertain me. *loves*

grifs jump
So, I'm going to app another character to Purg, I think. Yep. It'll be an Original Character based on the concept of Year Zero.... Yeah, the Nine Inch Nails album. I've already got most of his stuff mapped out and what not, I just have to put it in application format. And if you don't know the concept of Year Zero, it's pretty interesting. Check it out here and here. His name's Jack Dzire, he's a member of Art is Resistance group, a musician, and paranoid as hell.

Oh, yeah, and in other Purg news, Black's dead. White shot him the other night after a heated argument. Black said some sentimental things as he was dying, White instantly regretted it. White has his body, he's holding it till Black revives. Black will be back in action tonight-ish.

Washington- still fighting with Epsilon. Now Ashley (Grif's gf) thinks he's making Epsilon up to cover for being crazy.

Grif- He's loving the not-so-single life. Its so weird. Ashley and Grif's relationship is just the right amount of awkward.

Oh yeah, and everyone's experiencing the apocalypse. Yeah, we had a change in mods thus also a change in gods. To do this they brought in the apocalypse. Kinda neat.

So this is what I do. I work 40 useless hours a week, I RP, and I play Halo. I suck. What happened to the days when I used to be a rockstar? Damn it. I'm such a nerd.

David Broke it
I want to go home. :(
hate each other
So I got that bank job. Customer Service and Book Keeping. Yup. Went out and bought about $350 worth of new, "serious", "adult" clothes. Honestly, I'm normally either dressed like a rock star or wearing dance pants and a tank top. Really, there was a good reason I had to go drop that chunk of change for the new wardrobe. But really, I hate dressing up all the time and it's not even been a full week yet. I'm SO bored at work too. Can't check anything online, can't play with my phone, pretty much it's just me... Sitting there. BLOWS. So I'm supposed to be answering phones. There are 4, yes FOUR of us for that. It's a local TX bank (Western National Bank) so really, not a ton going on. The system they use is ridiculously simple... For some reason though, everyone thinks I need it explained a million and one times. Honestly guys, I got this. There's also a lack of calls, I've noticed. Four phone people seems a little excessive. But whatever, I'm getting paid.  Today I sat with Liz, she's in her early 30s at the oldest, putting her the closest to my age in my department. But still, I'm like the freakin baby of the department. Everyone else had kids and all this... Me, I've got a dog. I'm still too young (in my mind any way) to have kids. Damn, I'm 24, I'm still selfish, I'm not spending all my time and money on babies. That's just crazy. But any way, Liz is awesome. Some people in the office don't like her. She's black. It's a race thing... Which sucks, because guess what. I'm the other minority. Yup, my department is almost all Hispanic. Tis ok though, I've made friends with most of them... Sadly, not the two girls I'll be sharing my cub area with, though. They're snotty and don't like many people at all. I'd be one they don't like. I don't care, as long as I get paid, I can ignore some bitches. Though... I kinda don't like the job already and I've only been there since Monday. I'm still looking for radio/TV work...

Enough of the job rant (they'll be plenty of those in the coming months, I'm sure). Halo-crack. Yeah, it's just that. Maybe it's because I was stupid bored all day, or maybe because I  have such a kick ass little sandwich when I play (EVERY TIME we group up Chicken is on top, I'm in the middle, and Red Rings is last name wise), but I thought about Halo a lot today. It's stress relief too. Had a bad day? Go kill some dudes, it'll make ya feel better. Well, works for me any way.

</a></b></a>[info]apurgatorium, my multi-fandom RP that I'm in, is getting interesting. My Grif has found a girlfriend. Yeah, seriously, I thought it was weird too, but it rocks my face off. AND she's the one who kind of asked him out! "She" is Ashley M. Williams from the Mass Effect fandom. I've never really looked into Mass Effect, but this Ashley is one awesome lady. She joined the Red Team in Purg almost immediately thanks to Donut's guidance. And ever since then she's been kinda sweet on ol' Griffy-poo. Finally asked him out last weekend. ROCKED! Their first date's going to be logged tomorrow. Kinda excited about that... Also think I'm about to have Washington have a bit of an Epsilon freak out. He's been teetering, but I think it's time to give him a little push. That should be interesting. And Black... Man, Black is another story. White finally showed up. They've been beating the crap out of each other ever since (read: White's been handing Black's ass to him every time they meet up). I was actually surprised, though, at the support Black has. He joined up with Rufus ShinRa and the Turks of Final Fantasy about a month ago. Rufus came to Black right after he and White's first meeting and told Black he had the full support of the Turks, he could have an entourage if need be, but Rufus did not want White to damage his head of intel. Crazy. Of course, Black told him he could handle White on his own. Yeah, White-mun and I have big plans for these two... Oh and I finally dropped Skwisgaar and Psymon. Neither could really make friends, they were just drowning. And I feel bad since Skwis was my frist character in the RP. Damn.

General. Let's see... Um, I got RockBand for the 360. It's amazing. I haven't finished yet, but I'm close. Also got a little game called N+. Sometimes that game makes me feel stupid when I can't figure out the puzzle. But I play it any way because I feel like I accomplished something when I finish a level. It's like I need an "I r smrt kid" sticker after ever completion, I swear. Ok, not EVERY level, but most. Patric found my scrap book, FINALLY! Damn. I thought I'd never see it again. He also finally found Cassie and Michelle's cookbook that they made me. CAN NOT WAIT TO USE IT! Oh, yeah, and we bought furniture that should be delivered tomorrow. Bedroom set (Bed frame, mattress, two night stands, and chest of drawers) and livingroom stuffs (couch, really awesome swivel chair that looks like Brittany's big chair). Yeah, I'm pumped about that. And yeah, really, I think that's it. Ok, you're dismissed now. See you all next time... or in comments... Where

More Halo drable

  • Apr. 18th, 2008 at 6:41 PM
grifs hammer time
Really, it's pretty much all I've been doing, playing Halo 3, for the past week and a half or so. Well, that's not entirely true. I did get called back for a second interview with the bank yesterday morning, then got the job offer that afternoon. I'm no longer unemployed. I start on Monday, 8am. I also spent last weekend back home in Alabama with the friends and family. So, really I guess Halo isn't ALL I've been doing. But regardless, this is a Halo-centric update. Something I just felt like throwing out there.

I'm a big music fan. Obliviously, by my first and preferred career choice, that's pretty evident. And while the ambient sound that comes with Halo is stunning and detailed, I prefer a musical soundtrack to go along with it. I thought I'd share my sound track with you guys for the fun of it. So if you ever play online with me and I seem distracted, I'm probably singing along or something. But the songs I picked for my soundtrack are songs that in some way motivate me for the game. Yeah, here's my playlist: (it's usually on random so they aren't really in any particular order.{some of the videos I linked to are kind of silly or cheesy. It's not so much for the video, its for the song})



So yeah, that's how nerdy I am. I have a Halo3 playlist. And I've shared it with you. Did it enrich your life in some way? Probably not. But hey, I'm all about sharing. Oh, and I have some fun pics to share too (mostly at Chicken's expense, sorry love). Apparently, I'm pretty good with the screen cap. function in Halo. I've gotten some damn good ones.

This is as close as Spartans will ever get to hugging. Awe.


And then I had to threaten his life.


He tried to jump me after that, but I beat his ass down.


Because Grifs is serious business.


Long journal, sorry guys.

Grif


Tell me that's not badass. You can't. Halo... it's an addiction. I sometimes didn't understand how my friends could WoW for so long and enjoy the same game so much... Yeah. I figured it out. Halo is my WoW. AND I've even made a buddy.

Meet EliteChicken420. He's the one not in the ninja suit (we're both blue because we were on the same team). Met him in Grifball and we've played teams every night since. SO much fun. He's hilarious. <3 But yeah, we're a good team and it makes the game ALOT more fun. He's good too:

That white stream, yeah that's a sniper shot he JUST missed by ducking. He had been jumping to scout for people coming to take our flag.

The HiDef pics that Halo kicks out are amazing. I mean the graphics, it's just absurdly good. And the way you can break the camera away and film/capture anything on the map, the way you can move it around the still people/scenery... It's amazing. Ah, Halo 3, you make me so visually happy.
 <3

Oh and if I didn't mention it before, RoosterTeeth has launched a NEW RvB! Yup, RvB: Reconstruction premiered the other night. They're using Halo3 and will have a new group of Spartans on the Valhalla map. It's the closest to Blood Gulch, so ya know. I'm EXCITED to say the least.

Jobs, Halo, Life, etc

  • Apr. 2nd, 2008 at 11:54 AM
I'm Famous!
So I had my first job interview today. Yeah, I've NEVER had one before, ever. I was so nervous. And its for a position I know NOTHING about. Naomi got me the interview, it's for a position at the bank. I'm sure its stuff I could learn, but still, currently I know nothing about it. I can't tell how the interview went. I guess we'll see in a couple of days though. Seriously, it was so nerve wrecking. Ridiculous.

I've been playing Halo online. Took me a while before I was ready to go online. I, ya know, doubted my skills... Turns out I can hold my own pretty well. You can even check out my fun stats here on Bungie.net. I like playing online for the most part. It's fun. Though I have run into a couple of those screaming 14 year olds in the matchmaking lobby. It's not super common, but it's true what people say. They do exist. Oh by the way, this is me... Well, this is Grifs Lynam:

She's hot. And most people thing I'm a "he" until they hear me over the headset. Dumb boys. They almost always seem miffed when they realize they got beat down by a girl. Hehe. Is it mean or sad that I get some weird joy when the boys are like "Damn Grifs, you totally kicked ass" and I say "Yeah, thanks" and their response is something similar to "Oh SHIT, you're a chick?!" Ahahaha. Seriously, happened more than once. I love it.... Oh and check it out, I got my super cool armor for collecting all the skulls in the campaign. Yup, I'm awesome.

Yesterday we got Mafia a kiddie pool. By "we" I mean me and James. "Uncle James" helped because he had a truck to put the pool in and the free time. Plus he luvs Mafia, so it's all good. She was SO happy about! Played in it for about an hour. Well jumping in and out, running around, jumping back in. It was great. I'll have to get pics and post them.

Well, that's about it I guess. Yeah. Hope everyone's doing well. <3

Stroke 9 meets Tucker/Blue Team meets Lynam

So I have several songs in the works currently, 2 Lynam songs, Chance and the Choir, and recently I got this bug to work with Stroke 9's song "Kick Some Ass". As soon as I heard it I thought "TUCKER!". Seriously, I can't hear it without thinking about him. So, Tucker's song, done. It was easier as it's not as quote/plot heavy as the other ones. Still, it's fun. ***Edit*** I've finished  one of the Lynam songs. It's added now! Enjoy! So take a listen... after this friendly disclaimer:

Disclaimers:
-Red vs Blue is property of Rooster Teeth

-"Kick Some Ass" belongs to Stroke 9

-"Disco King" belongs to Lynam

-I didn't "make" the songs or write the lines. I just cut them up, put them together, and mixed them.

-Hey, it's RvB, there's cursing. Deal with it, ya pussies.

Tucker wants to kick some ass.

Blue Team doesn't know what to think about Lynam

So, I'm sick. It blows. I hate being sick. Just a cold/congestion type thing it seems. Still, sucks balls.

Beat Halo3 today. I feel like I accomplished so much! lol. No really, it was exciting. <3 Completion is fun.

My RP kids are on hiatus currently because of the Xbox/sickness. Well, Black's been posting and responding, but he's been the only one. Everyone else is on full hiatus. *sigh* Lots going on in Purg. Craziness.

Yep, that's it. You're up to speed on my life now. <3 Later.

Oh yeah, one more thing

Shiny guitar
I've been busy with stuff. Kind weird how that works, yeah? Still no job. I'm either over or under qualified for EVERYTHING. Didn't this happen to you, Hazel? Yeah, it blows. So jobs like retail sales don't want me because they'd rather hire in a bunch of part-time high school/ community college kids and real people business say I don't have the qualifications for their jobs. Also, a bunch of jobs around here require you to speak Spanish. I do not. I took French because I thought it was a prettier language. Which it is. But it's far less helpful in this situation. :(

Regardless, Patric finally broke down and loaned me the other half of the money I needed to buy my Xbox360 since I spend a good deal of time at home and I'll be home alone at night anyway when he's on long jobs and such. So basically he got it for me to keep me from being completely bored. Boredem usually leads to me eating more. It's what I do. So hopefully the Xbox will also cut that out since I have to use both hands! HA! Dieting with the Xbox. Nice.

B is moving into her house. They bought it last Friday. I wish I was there to see and help and all. <3 I miss my AL friends. All of them.

Jacob called me today. I was happy about that. Always good to know you're loved, right? Yeah. Had a nice chat about what they were all up to. I might actually get to see them on tour this summer. They're going out with Cinderella and Warrant. Jacob said they DO have TX dates. I can't wait. <3 Also, Tragic City Symphony will FINALLY be released! YES! I've been jonesing for that since Jacob let me hear like four months ago. Ridiculous. So an exciting summer for Lynam ahead. I'm happy for them.

Yeah, I guess that's about it really. Not much going on around here. Today was James' birthday. We all had dinner at Ryan and Christina's house. I realized that, in general, I'm no a big fan of babies. Ryan and Christina have one, he'll be a year old in May. So tonight he was SO angry at like the world in general. I'm strangely ok with angry babies. I guess because I can relate? I dunno. It was funny. So when Joseph started screaming and being angry, guess who they gave him to. Me. It was funny. As soon as he was happy, I gave him back. I'm sure if he were at my house and it was more than just a couple hours type thing, I'd be pissed. But I was ok with it tonight. Any way, James has job interview tomorrow which sounds very promising. Naomi's happy, which is FABULOUS! And if James gets the job he can play video games with me again. Naomi told him "no videogames till you get another job". So, he's been pretty good about sticking with that. He had a phone interview Monday, I went over today to help him clean the house a bit and we played Ghost Recon for a while, then he's got his real interview tomorrow. So maybe by the time his interview is over Halo 3 will be here and he can come play that with me! <3

You know, it's funny. Naomi and Patric get together and play Guitar Hero on the Wii. It's something the really like. If we hang out at my house, the four of us, those two are playing and James and I are left out. But James and I are FPS nuts. We went through Halo 1 & 2 like kids in a candy store. We're pumped about Halo 3. Patric and Naomi, they don't care for Halo or FPSs in general. (FPS=First Person Shooter) Regardless, we all have gaming buddies, we just have to swap couples kinda to get them. It's amusing.

Ok, I'm done now. Gonna go work on some audio before I break down and play with the Xbox. <3 Hope everyone's doing well. Love you all!

Oh, wait, one more thing. So I don't have to say it all the time: Sometimes I check my journal/friends pages while logged into my RP accounts. Generally if I see something I want to comment on, I'm not going to log out of that account to do it. So if you see the following journals reply to any of your journals/comments, it me.

A very random update.

  • Mar. 10th, 2008 at 12:26 AM
Lynam Says...
First of all, I'm feeling a bit better since the last post. Just in case you were wondering.

Secondly, THIS gem of an article (thanks fo raz0rblade for passing it along to me). Ok, so our Xbox360s, PS3s, and Wiis are killing the climate... Well maybe not so much Wiis because teens don't care. But yeah, DAMN YOU GAMERS AND KILLING OUR WORLD! Whatever. I thought it was kinda funny, in a way. I mean seriously, they believe catastrohpic events will happen due to too much CoD4 and Halo3? Pft. Ok. Well, I'll be sure to chip in to our early demise in the next month or so. Go ahead and get ready for the loss of life as we know it. ... Needless to say, I was ammused and am feeling a little snarky.

So Patric's out on another job. I can't remember where it is, I just know its a Chessapeak job. It's bout 4 hours away. He left aroun noon today, he said he'll likely be back Wed. night. He was supposed to go on days off Tuesday, but since they fired James, he's the only engineer for his truck. Well, looks like when he comes back he'll be on days off, Bannis will still be on vacation, all the open hole guys will be on days off... HEY, dumbasses who schedule shit and fired James because you're all SO smart, who you gonna send out Thursday- Monday? You're shit out of luck if you think Patric's coming in. Pft. I told him tonight he wasn't answering the phone for dispatch when he got home Wed. And if Boyd told him he had a job for Thursday when he got back to the shop Wed then I'd come up there and tell him exactly what he could do. "Yeah Boyd, go blow yourself." Seriously, the people at Schlumberger have NO idea how to run a fucking business, they're clueless when it comes to scheduling, they're just stupid all the way around. James should have been suspended then put back out on his truck. As if they weren't short on engineers already, now they've really fucked themselves. Sadly enough, they won't realize it till Wed when they're trying to schedule trucks from Thursday. "Oh shit, 2222's out because it's Pat's off days, Bannis is gone still... Um, who's gonna run this job?" HEY fuckers, shoulda thought of that before you fired your last engineer. Dumbasses.

Schlumberger is stupid. Not that Patric doesn't make good money with them... But they have no clue how to handle anything. It's a fucking wonder the company hasn't gone belly up yet with they way they do things.

I played Rock Band today with Naomi and Lindsey. It was fun. I was the drummer. I suck at Medium right now, but I'm ok on Easy. I like it. I can't wait to have my own Xbox360... Granted, Rock Band will not be the first game played on it. (That's reserved for Halo3.)

I'm tired, but I don't wanna go to bed. This blows.

 Also, just to lighten this post a little... My current desktop background:

The battle wages on. (Pick the PIE, it has filling!)

Bah.

David Broke it
James lost his job. He's getting married in a few months. Naomi is most likely completely freaking out. I don't know what to do. It's not like there's anything I can say to make things better. Stupid job. So, I don't know what they're going to do. I doubt they'll stay in Midland if he doesn't have a job here. Sucks.

I still don't have a freaking job. Yeah, there's a low unemployment rate here. Wanna know why? Because they're looking for manual labor workers, burger flippers, RNs, and retail sales. I'm not an RN, I'm not really down for manual labor, and seriously guys, I have a fucking college degree, I'm not flipping burgers.

I'm just kinda.... bummed today, I guess. I woke up not feeling so stellar. The day's just been kinda crappy. I don't know. I think I'm just homesick today and annoyed with my lack of job. Lack of lead for a job. I just feel useless, ya know. I can't do anything for my friends, I can't do anything money-wise for my home, I'm just a loser. And seriously, I get it from EVERYONE. "You got a job yet?" "What do you do all day?" "I wish I could sit around and do nothing all day long". No, no you don't. Yeah, you wish you had a vacation, you don't wish you were unemployed and neither do I, so please stop mentioning it. I am looking, I am working on it.

Yeah, I'm just bitchy I guess. Sorry.

Jason's sending me a care package that will include Slappy and Clyde. I'm sad that The Haunted had to close for me to get them, but I am happy to be seeing them. <3 I love Jason... and miss him. I miss everyone from home right now. It's terrible. I hope I get over this soon. It sucks... Oh and Patric's out on a job. He won't be back till late. I hate this.

Awe, I miss Lynam

Lynam Says...

I miss my guys. Seriously. I was just looking at pics from my last show in Clanton and Lisa got some good shots. <3
Me and goofyass Daveaux <3

A good one of me and Jacob. We seem to take pretty good pics together.

Me and my buddy Markypants... and Daveaux in the back over there.

I think Daveaux was trying to give me advice. Judging by my face, it wasn't the greatest advice ever. I don't think I was buyin' a word he was saying.

I really miss the boys. Seriously. It sucks that I can't go to shows or anything. I don't know when I'll be seeing them next. Oh well, I guess I'll be hearing from Jacob pretty soon since he's really good about calling people back. At least a nice chat will be good. <3

I'm such an audio nerd

  • Mar. 6th, 2008 at 3:24 AM
rooster teeth logo
So I thought I'd give everyone an update since the new projects are taking a little longer than expected. They're coming along nicely, I'm working on two songs. One from Chance and the Choir, a lovely group of guys from CA. Chance is such a sweetheart, check 'em out if you get a chance. And another from really close friends of mine, Lynam. Again, I highly suggest you check 'em out... ya know, if you're into that sort of thing. So those are what's in the works currently.

You know, listening to audio from something that was previously a visual medium is a little strange sometimes. You start to hear little, well, they aren't mistakes really, they're just little weird things. Like in one of the scenes with the Red team on Red Base, Sarge is talking about turning Simmons into a cyborg. At some point in that scene for just a half a second or so there's some extra talking and it sounds almost like a there might be a girl voice. No, not Donut. Just something that probably got passed over during editing, it'd be really easy to miss for sure. But I'm sitting here with relatively sensitive headphones and no video to accompany the audio, just watching the wavefile. I guess I just pick things like that out. I hear edit points sometimes, stuff like that. It's been fun for me, as an audio kid. Yeah, I'm a nerd, an audio nerd. Big time. Oh well, at least I'm decent at what I do because of it, right?

Also, the weather in TX is FREAKISH! It was 80 degrees Sunday. It SNOWED, not  flurry, awe look at that, no SNOWED hard on Monday.Then it was back to 70 on Tuesday. What the hell, Texas, what the hell?!?

So I wanted a place to put all my Purg applications together since they're spread out on the Purg site. Here's where I've decided to put them. It's basically just to help me keep things together and all. So yeah, not really anything that important. Carry on.

I have been absolutely gidy ALL damn day! WHY? No, I didn't hear back about a job. I did hear back from Burnie, though. Yes, Burnie Burns from Rooster Teeth. <3 I sent him my stuff that I made. He passed it around the office apparently. They LOVED it! lol. He said they were great. I got his award, Geoff's, and Matt's. They also made me the featured user on the site! Yeah, I'm a nerd to be so giddy about it. <3 hehe. But yeah. This morning, before I heard from Burnie, my profile had been viewed maybe about 150 times. It's currently at 353. I feel loved. Gotten several coments and such. It's just a nice thing for me. Ya know, to have the Roost Teeth guys like something I made. Kinda a big deal. Any way, just wanted to share. Yeah. Alright, going now. Bye!

Halo and stuff.

So, I've been at James' house for the past two days playing Halo 1 & 2. We completed 1 earlier today and started 2. I'm such a nerd. Oak Tree would be damned proud though. I've picked up the controls like a champ. No more looking at the ground and asking if I'm still moving. Nope. We completed 1 on legendary setting. It was tough, but SO much fun. Two is weird because you swap from being Master Chief to one of the Covenant and back and forth through out so far. It was strange to start the game as the alien you'd spent all of 1 trying to kill. But yeah, fun.

Also, look! I mades friends. It's fun to hang out with James. Also hung out with Christina, Ryan, Naomi, James, Jen, and various others at Ryan & Christina's BBQ on Sunday. That was fun. Good food, nice people. Yeah. At least things are starting to settle for me here in Midland. Now if only the weather would make up its mind. It was 80 Monday, 60 today, and its supposed to be 70 tomorrow. Seriously, pick a season, please! I prefer the 80 weather. That's cool with me. XD

Still no word on a job. Don't worry, you'll know when I know guys.

RPG thingy I stole from Cassie!
