So I've moved over to Dreamwidth for the time being, but that does not mean I'll stop reading everyone's journal entries here on livejournal. I am Flotilla over there.

I have been updating my journal more and more with the fresh start. It's nice, thinking about it. I feel like I've been tied down to too much of the past. It's nice to not be able to look back and move forward.

Hello December. I have really let time fly by haven't? I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, it's been rather hectic to an extent. I've also been very reflective as of late, finding myself thinking I still hurt from things long past.

But that's another story, one I don't really want to get in to right now. I just wanted to give an update that I might actually be going to school. I will see where it goes, but I am thinking about getting into cosmetology. Hair just sounds fun to work with and it's completely hands on. We'll see.

I'm trying to get into roleplaying again. It's nice but at the same time I feel like I am floundering at it. I feel like I have been out of it for so long that I am completely out of practice. The same goes for my writing (and it's a good thing I don't draw. It'd be hitting lows all over the place then). But I am going to keep my fingers crossed I do better this month. If I do I'll likely end up applying for a second character (either Liara or Claire, I'm unsure yet. I will probably end up playing both in the end along side of Kal.)

If I don't I'll likely drop in January despite the fact I love the cast and the game setting itself.

I don't quite have anything else to say. Just that I hope everyone is doing well and I'm still reading everything I see on livejournal I've just been awful at updating myself.

Since the news about Revelations has been mostly about brand new characters, I decided I wanted to talk about it. (More like rant, as it were.)

This ended up being really long, and as I am a Capcom Unity member, I am debating on posting it on my blog there as well. We'll see. I figure I'd start here since I haven't updated in a while.

( Left behind in the BiohazardCollapse )

In the mean time, I've just been working quite a bit. It's been an up and down trip as I continue through life. I am stressed out, over worked, and exhausted but I am still loving every minute of life. Sure I get depressed, but recently I've come to find that it's nothing that huge to worry about right now. I'm still young and I have plenty of time to worry about the big decisions in life. I'm currently waiting for the title of my car so I can finally finish becoming a Florida resident, and I'm paying some fabulous bills but I find that I should worry less about them.

The hardest part is being so far away from my fiancee some nights. Being some nine hundred miles apart is going to be killer over the next few years but hey. It's going to be well worth it in the end. I think Comic Con spoiled me too much with being able to just sleep next to her. Hopefully with the holidays coming up we can try and work something out.

If not well... hey we've got next Comic Con or even PAX I hope.

I hope everything is going well in the mean time for you guy. Let's positive thinking, right?

Things have been going smoothly lately. I mean there have been some bills that came that I panicked, and my stress levels have been all over the place but... it's still smooth compared to what it could be.

I don't really want to focus on the "what if" situations.

I've been working a lot more, so I've been a bit lacking in a lot things I do online. I've been on xbox live a lot more and I'm gearing up next week for work due to it being our Madden release. That should be a blast. Though let it be known I don't know play any sports games so I've been playing Madden 11 just to get an idea how it works. I at least won my superbowl attempt on my first try.

I had fun, but it's still not my kind of game.

There's really nothing else to report in on. I had a ton of fun at San Diego Comic Con, and maybe I'll do a late convention report once I get things straightened out on my end. I've been really tempted to move again, but I still have to wait two years.

Hopefully these next two years will fly by.

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing all right. ♥ Let's positive thinking!

There isn't much going on in my life lately. Cliff flew out to visit and it's been so much fun. We played Mass Effect, Portal 2, Dead Space 2... so many games and just hung out. It's been a while since I got to spend time with him.

I am rather excited though. Wednesday I get to fly out to Cincinnati to head out for ACEN. I am so excited there are no words to express it without going on for quite a while. I'm mostly going to spend time with my girlfriend and I cannot wait to see her again. I feel like it's been too long but December wasn't that far off it seems.

Then Comic Con is coming up and I just... am so excited to be hanging out with Travis and Garrett. It'll be fantastic.

I have been thinking more though on the past lately. I'm unsure why but... reflection isn't a bad thing. It's just a lot of thinking.

I hope everyone else has a fantastic week and weekend! I know I will.

I haven't updated in a while, and I keep saying I want to and will but it never happens.

Instead of talking about myself today, I want to hear about you guys if you have time to comment. I want to reconnect with my f-list again before I start to post more. I mean I read everything but I need to start commenting around more often.

♥ So how is everyone today? Tell me about how your day went or tell me something that happened recently good or bad. Or even ask me a question! Let's get to know each other again!

It's been a while since I've updated. Life has been going pretty well lately. I've been working more, and I am really excited for working with the Rays again this season. Between them and Gamestop I am prepared to give my all. I am really looking forward to our early opening for our 3DS thing on Sunday even if I will be up super early. Work is really going well and I love it.

I missed working, so bouncing back between the two jobs will be fun.

There's nothing much else to say! I know next week will be busy beyond all reason, but I am looking forward to doing something each day. Monday I am getting my taxes done (finally), Tuesday I am getting my hair done again, Wednesday is a spring training game, Thursday I work for Gamestop, and Friday is the first game of the year. I think I work through the weekend too but I can't remember.

I'm going to be so tired by the end of it.

Oh! My siblings are all coming out to visit! I'm so excited. My mother too, though I would really like it if my stepfather would come out too.

I am having a hard time losing weight, but it's mostly on my hips and stomach. It's not too bad, but I'm still pretty self conscious about it. It probably doesn't help that my staple foods at home are pastas because it's easy to make and I don't cook much at all. I'm going to keep trying. Walking to work has been helping me a lot and when I work at Tropicana I have to walk across a very long bridge. It'll be fun! I can totally power walk to work or sommat.

I also saw Sucker Punch recently. I loved it, and I know it had it's problems but I still very much enjoyed it. The soundtrack and the visual effects were stunning, and I really enjoyed the over all idea of the story. I just wish we had more.

I'm hoping there will be a lot more or some extras when it's released on DVD.

♥ I hope everyone has a good rest of their evening.

I watched Mars Attacks! the other day, and I wonder now why I was terrified of it when I was younger. I have never laughed so hard in my life. We also watched the Rainbow Brite movie tonight and all I could think of is how I would have loved to drink to it. I shall learn to do so next time. Though if I was to turn Rainbow Brite into drinking game, I'm sure I'd start ruining my childhood.

Tomorrow Cat, Ali and I are going to the Renaissance fair. I am looking forward to it and I am looking forward to just hanging out with friends and having a blast.

Though, randomly I cleaned out my closet today to finally unpack from my move in August, and while going through my boxes I found a sealed syringe at the bottom of one of the boxes. Now back in August when my boxes were shipped to me, they had been pretty battered and several of my books were missing and a few of my comics had been stolen from me. To find a needle was a little shocking.

Especially when I noticed it was the type of needle used to draw blood.

I have no idea how it got into my box but I've since removed it from my closet and from the floor just in case.

I'm a little scatterbrained in this entire entry. So I leave you off on a good note that the days go on to be increasingly better as time moves forward. Despite the fact that I have my moments where I cannot breath or move from a single spot, I feel a little more upbeat and optimistic about the future.

I had a fantastic night tonight.

But I made the dumbest mistake ever. This is what I get for not checking my friend add/remove thing like...constantly.

It's been a while, but I've been in really good spirits the last few days. I've been so creative lately, it makes me wish that I could draw. Creative, working, hanging out and doing stuff - it's all so nice and new in a sense.

I never really went out and did things before. I feel free for once.

And I really should be in bed, so I promise a more coherent entry later.

FUCK YES.

My costume is completed for our midnight release of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (with the exception of my wig).

( It doesn't look half bad for it being held up by fabric glue.Collapse )

In the mean time I got myself some AV cables for my Dreamcast so I can bring it with me to work for the midnight release. We are having a tournament in the movie theatre for Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and for those idling in the store they can play Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on the Dreamcast.

I cannot wait! Evil owns my soul for helping me with the costume.
