Extensive thoughts on happiness and sadness. Brace yourself.
Hum de dum.

I read something earlier and it kind of made me a little frustrated. Congratulations. It got me thinking about my life, again. It's not just one person I hear this from, but many are under the impression that I have the perfect life. I'm flattered. That's more of a compliment on my personality, I would think, that I seem so godamned cheery. Weeee. I can be the biggest child if you give me that opportunity. But that's just one facet of my personality. Don't criticize me because I like to have fun. Don't judge me, pick apart my life, scrutinze me, just because I'm not sitting in a corner killing myself.

Many people know the silent side to myself. Others know me as frequently depressed by the way I smile on the outside. Some even know me as this child I talk about. And I am all. I have my sad days. I have my wonderful days. I have this bipolar life. If every day I wallowed in depression, do you have any idea how painful that would be? You probably do, because you've probably been there. And no matter how hardass you pretend to be, you'd be in denial to say that feeling great about yourself and your life vastly outweighs feeling like that piteous creature in your room corner. Seriously. As much as I sometimes feel sad about trivial, and I do say trivial, shit that comes my way, I know that I feel much better smiling about the other things in life. I consider humour my backbone. I'm sarcastic a lot of the times, but that's what makes me happy. That's what amuses me, and that's what keeps me sane.

If I wanted to share my personal problems, believe me, I would. But there aren't many people in this world that I have, and there are even fewer that I can trust. Don't pretend you know my life until you know my story. I'm not as happy as I appear to be, but I do not make an effort into feeling like shit. I don't try to bog others down or invite them into my world of sadness. I really try to keep that to myself, and when I write about it I don't expect people to care. And I don't want people to worry. I'm writing my thoughts so I can look back on this later and remember what I had. Don't take that away from me. If you don't like what I write, guess what, don't fucking read it. I don't force you to.

A lot of the times I'll comment about being sad, maybe being depressed; the whole nine yards. That's just a minor way for me to cope. To get out my thoughts. And, when I get all that anger, sadness, and general frustration out, it does make me feel better. Don't think I'm writing these thoughts to make friends. Don't think I write what I do to steal some sympathy out of you. That's definitely not why I write out my thoughts. I don't mind if you read whatever I have to say. I don't mind if you comment on an entry, telling me how you agree or can relate, or even how you completely disagree with everything I wrote. I don't even mind if you told me you fucking hate me. I don't expect you to understand me, so I don't expect you to like me. And I really do not care either way. I write here because it sometimes makes me smile. Who knows, maybe it'll make others smile too, and that would be just fine and dandy with me.

I can't say that my whole life has been one giant ride downhill. It hasn't. I have had the best times of my life, although many of those times I didn't realize it at the time. I try not to regret things I've done, because I know that doesn't make anything better. I am oftentimes pessimistic to the core, but I seriously do try to be optimistic. Because when you feel good about the small things, it really makes life easier to live through. Some people say that optimistic people have it good. Some say they don't deserve to be so godamned happy. But do you know what? Most of the optimistic people I've ever known were downright suicidal at many points in their life. And they got over it. They gave in, let others help them, and they healed. Don't envy them because they have "something you don't". They have something they fought hard to get, so leave them be. They deserve being happy and they wouldn't change for anyone. Good for them. I can admire their strength. Yes, they can get so fucking annoying at times, but I really can admire them.

Most of the times I am the optimistic person. To people who know me, I give them the hand. I hate seeing others down and sad about very small things. Like boyfriends and girlfriends, not having one, or having one they don't like. Honestly, what goes through their minds? Blunt optimism, yes, that's what I give them. And somehow it helps. Helping others can make you feel good inside, so you should try it sometime if you haven't already.

People know me as cold hearted, and that makes me laugh. Maybe I am, who knows. But you wouldn't believe the community work I've done. Voluntary, at that. Whenever I feel down inside, I can always tell myself that I have made a difference. Big or small, it doesn't matter, I did something that many others sat back and watched. Everything I have in life I earned or I deserved. Ok, then there's a lot of Christmas gifts I probably shouldn't have had but, hey, who's counting.

This entry is long winded, so I'm going to find something fun to do. Just my extensive thoughts on happiness and sadness though. I bet you agreed to at least one thing I wrote. And that puts me to sleep.

Ohhhh yeaaaaa.

Why do we Dream of a White Christmas? I think I might just know.
A few people have mentioned wanting a white Christmas, and I think I know why. When people do actions they want to see the rewards or consequences. Such as, when someone cuts themselves they would like to see blood. Would people still cut themselves if they never bled? [Rhetoric questioning.]

When I get hit pretty fucking hard, I want to see a bruise. When my arm feels broken, it better be. When I fracture my skull, I want to get a few days out of school.

See my point?

So when it's ass-chilling cold outside we, the people, would like to see some fucking snow.

Lost Legends, how about that..
It's been a while since I actually wrote about Lost Legends. I get a headache just thinking about all I need to do there. Ehh. I decided to rework my website as well, and I will eventually have this information up there.

Current projects underway include:

  • Reworking the Charlton sewers.
  • Reworking Newbieland.
  • NPCs.
  • Writing better descriptions.
  • Finally balancing them out. (I know I'm not in Menagerie but don't worry.)
  • Adding/Removing their inventory for themely purposes.
  • Newbieland Tournament.
  • Would like to implement an expanded arena and introduce new foes.
  • Giving the monsters an actual xp count upon losing.
  • Rooms. (I haven't decided yet if I want to venture into the forest..)
  • Rewrite the descriptions.
  • Dreaded single spacings.. ;(
  • Stocking up the Nergal shop.
  • Adding basic armour and maybe a shitty weapon to fill up space. Yea, I'm that honest.
  • Christmas.
  • Edit any problems in the existing area.
  • Possibly create a new area.
  • Possibly add another remotely evil quest.
  • I'll see what I can do to make a player's wish come true as well. ;)

    Those are the main projects. Then there are the boards (typos, bugs, ideas) that I always spend time cleaning. And then there is that shoddy TODO list that I keep avoiding.

    And then there are my sub-directories. An area and a shop I could be working on. I could also be working on another area in game, but I'm holding that off until further notice. On top of that, I should be going through Charlton's NPCs (clothing them, among other things) and then I'd like to try balancing out the weapons in the shop north of the church. Yea, yea, I know. I'm not in Menagerie nor am I in Forge but, trust me, I'm not going to fuck up things.

    "Tired of fighting, tired of fighting, fighting for a lost cause."
    Since Sunday, two people have told me not to commit suicide.

    And I don't know how to feel about it.

    I thought I kept it all inside.

    Apparently I slipped.

    "I still want you by my side, just to help me dry the tears that I've cried."
    Negatively thinking, I had my left arm propped on the keyboard's sliding shelf, hand under chin, fighting back tears on an emotionless face. With my right hand I slowly sketched an eye on notebook paper. I hear my mother shuffling about and turning off the television, then the room light, walks by and pauses. I recall being thankful that the computer cabinet door had kept my sadness hidden.

    "What are you doing?" she asks, more curious than concerned.

    I blinked to make sure I wouldn't shed any tears, and lifted the pen. I then sat straight, my face no longer covered by the cabinet door, and looked at her. "I'm drawing."

    "Oh, ok. Goodnight."

    Sometimes it hurts too much to hurt.

    OMG! OMGLOLscratchmyassandhopeyoudieLMFAO!
    Hap..!

    Happens, all the time.

    So, I've been reading through a few random journals for a small portion of the night, gazing hypnotically at the embers of what once held great memories at its prime. Hopping swiftly through journals, like flipping pages through an overly read, and well liked, novel of yore, it suddenly donned upon me that, as a girl and, as a journal keeper, I do not have my own godamned support group.

    Boo fucking hoo.

    Removed a few posts. Replaced them with a song in HTML savvy format.
    I was on my way to the center of the sun
    When I lost my wings and I fell into a crowd
    And they carried me to the hole in the ground
    And they buried me
    Where no one could see
    And no one would be around

    I am a virus, I live in silence

    I was on my way to a city in the clouds
    When I lost my mind and I had to settle down
    Then I had a dream of an island in the sea
    Where the lepers die
    Where no one survives
    And no one can hear the cries

    I am a virus, I live in silence

    And just like the heathens thinking
    On our feet we believe in God
    And with one step, two steps
    Three steps toward the graveyard
    On the high road to remembering
    It seems that we forgot

    I am a virus, I live in silence

    Loneliness is the stepping stone to happiness.
    I'm so happy, that unhappiness is my friend. No longer need I know the beginning, I'll always know the end. And when I feel my heart torn out I know which way to turn. In the distance there lies my grave, uncovered and unadorned.

    Dark bodies floating in darkness
    No sign of light ever given
    Imprisoned in a world without a memory
    Unconscious, or am I conscious?
    Cut from the heart I am part of
    Sometimes I feel as though I'm frozen in heaven

    And I saw my own face in the dark and loneliness
    And I saw my own face like a spark frozen in heaven

    In dreams I see myself flying
    Closer to the sun, and I'm climbing
    Tried to touch the sun
    But the brightness burned my eyes
    Unconscious, or am I conscious?
    Fell from the sky like a star
    Sometimes I feel as though I'm frozen in heaven

    And I saw my own face in the dark and loneliness
    And I saw my own face like a spark

    Unconscious, or am I conscious?
    Fell from the sky like a star
    Sometimes I feel as though I'm frozen in heaven

    And I saw my own face in the dark and loneliness
    And I saw my own face like a spark frozen in heaven
    Dark bodies floating in darkness...

    Deary Me Deary My
    Hmm. So. Where to begin? About three days ago I got an email from a guy who wanted to be friends, or something. So we emailed each other a little bit and today he said that he wanted to meet me. Just so happens we live ten minutes apart. But I knew this small fact before he even mailed me, because at *cough* the website I met him at he mentioned where he lived. Yada yada, etc, etc. My biggest problem is that he obviously likes me for my outside appearance. Some people may find this hugely flattering, but I'm not some people. It kind of bugs me a taddd bit when people address me as "cutie". I mean, in all seriousness and complete honesty, I'd much rather be addressed as "mutherfucker". I kid you not. But anyway, I'm only posting about this guy because I'm feeling a little nervous and I can't say that I like that feeling. He told me some sappy ass cheesy little story about what appeared to be me, just a few numbers switched around, and I pretended to buy it. I don't know why. I don't understand myself a lot of the times. I just didn't want to tell him off. I'd love to meet someone that I initially met online, just maybe not him. He keeps telling me I'm sweet, I'm pretty, I'm so niiiiice and I'm thinking to myself where did I go wrong? Heh. Whatever right? All I know is that I'm going to wear some old, grungy clothes for tomorrow just in case he turns out to be one of those knife-wielding stabber people, because I don't want holes in my good clothes. Damnit.

    If I don't make a post within two days of this one, assume I'm dead. Seriously. This guy is creeping the hell out of me.

    Oh, but on a brighter side of things.. I chatted with an awesome guy. Awesome in every way, except for his squiggly font. But that's what a good friend is like. When I chat with someone I can tell who would make a good friend, and this guy would. He talks about cool shit. Heh. What else before I risk being a rape victim.. Ktool is such a cool guy as well.

    Hahaha. I'm just joking with you all.. I'm sure I will be just fine tomorrow. Because I lied to the guy and said I had a curfew.

    Butterscotch Pride
    My sister was talking to me about how Hispanics have this "brownie pride". That's what they call it, so I hear. So we started talking about what kind of pride would we have. And then we talked about that word "twinkie", though I much prefer "cracker" myself, and my sister started going into why she didn't agree with that term for us in particular. She said, "We're not yellow with white insides." Something weird like that. And she mentioned someone once calling her one of those wheat thins, or wheat crackers, because it's kind of yellow. I then said for the sheer stupidity of the moment, "I want to be butterscotch pudding." She said, "But, you can't. That's like.. creamy, and you're not creamy, you're just pale. Pale and white. Evil, white, vampire; Asian vampire." Umm, thanks. Ruin my butterscotch pride will ya.

    We have the greatest talks as well. She was telling me some of her work and other-type stories. So she earned a few new nicknames.

    She began to tell me a story, "I was talking with my boyfriend and then he called me.." and she paused, as if in thought.
    I finished her sentence, "Fuzzy bums?"
    "Umm.. no.." She replied in a sort of childish, embarrassed, joking sort of giggly-without-the-giggles way. "He called me.."
    "Walking hickey?"
    "Nooo.." She replied in an even more exaggerated way than before, her eyes lost on the floor and making a sort of sad puppy face.

    I thrive on being spitefully sarcastic and cruel to my older siblings.
