Pos: I finished dead space today although I am annoyed that I can't tell if the second half was less scary or I just got used to it.

As an 'Murican I in turn give mah thanks to yeh, dearest neighbor ta the north! <3

Pos: I got into the Heroes of the Storm "Technical Alpha"!

Mega neg: Family gatherings apparently only make me 10 times more depressed now.

Topics like work come up that I just can't be honest about around everyone. My previous job at a movie theater was one of those crappy, low paying (minimum wage) jobs, yet I actually enjoyed it more than my current one because my coworkers there held me in high respect.

By comparison, at my current job stress is way higher, my boss has often been treating me like dirt, I still make so little that I'm having a hard time being able to even find an apartment I can afford and still have some money on the side (I make the salary equivalent of $13 an hour...) and it often feels like the job is consuming my life. The only time I ever took any vacation days (or indeed, HAD  a vacation) since I was hired 3 years ago, was when I went to Anime Expo this year. I just can't seem to force myself to take a day or two off when I need to like some people can.

And I couldn't be honest about that and other things yesterday because my parents were there (like they always are - until I move out I just can't escape them). I couldn't say all sorts of things because it only seems to be my brother that wants to help me NOT be a pathetic shut-in for the rest of my life. I couldn't say how all Mom and Dad seem to do is work AGAINST me.

It left me screaming for help on the inside, yet once again all I could do on the outside was pretend everything was alright.

NEG: My thoughts went down a path I never wanted to travel again last night...

Pos:

Built two robots from scratch today without instructions

Pos:

They work and they are awesome (this isn't just creator pride talking, they are actually awesome)

Pos:

Steelcase Sapphire

Pos:

SSBWiiU GC Controller

Pos:

Had a great chat with my boss from my old part-time job today. His company is doing much better now and I'll be back to help him in whatever way I can when his company  packs up the pace again.

Pos:

Expecting SSBWiiU tomorrow.

Pos:

After weeks of having a hard time waking up in the morning, I'm finally starting to adjust.

Pos:

My minecraft server is doing great and everyone is building awesome stuff

Pos:

Minecraft command blocks are a fantastic concept that have helped me improve the minecraft experience greatly, even though they were poorly implemented. Such potential, so little of it harnessed.

Pos:

Looking at my signature while making this post reminded me of how much I love Sandshrew and Sandslash. I know what pokes I'll be using in Alpha Sapphire now!

Pos: I read the manga "Cage of Eden". It was rather good.
Neg: Then I arrived at a certain chapter and it said "3 chapters before the end". I was like "WTF". Rushed ending leaves a bad taste >_>

Neg: I can't stop comparing myself to others, tearing myself down and feeling completely useless and pointless in the process.

EDIT: Hooooly crap did I reach this part of Tales of Hearts R at the right time.

[spoilerbox="More"]And then, with my own mother going in for cataract surgery sometime in the next few weeks and my worries surrounding that...

OMG Beryl I know everything you're feeling right now.[/spoilerbox]
[spoilerbox="Last but not least"]


[/spoilerbox]

I feel trapped somewhere in my life BEFORE those last three screenshots though...

If Beryl existed in real life I'd totally be the one giving her a hug right now.

Pos: Pokemon ORAS Episode Delta is one of the coolest damn things I've seen from the series yet. T-the storytelling is actually compelling and very good! I'm talking like Mystery Dungeon quality good!

Fick: While today marks 18 years since my life changed forever I'm honestly not sulking and depressed like I have been in the past over not only just today but the entire month of November. Holy f*** that's a monumental change for me. Words can't even properly detail how much.

Fick:

Woke up without a voice two days ago....

And it still hasn't returned.

While the world of a mute is an interesting one, I would prefer to get my voice back asap thank you very much.

Neg: One of my uncle died this week.

Hi guys...

Neg: Woke up this morning even more drained and NOT ready to go back to work than I was when the 4 day weekend started. Ugh. Been in a horrible state of mind and can't seem to work my way out of it. I don't even know if I slept at all last night, and not for lack of trying...

My condolences, Har. Everything alright? I know how sudden that can be.

Hi guys...

I haven't seen you post in a while, Arn. You OK?

EDIT: Neg: -4°F out there today. Hate it when it's so God-awfully cold out.

I'm alright. I wasn't personally really close with that uncle. I was personally more disturbed by his daughter and his daughter's son. We went at the funeral lounge (not sure if it's the correct term. We went there to pay our respect to him) yesterday and I was *almost* pissed at his daughter. The widow was in great pain, as it should be expected. The daughter? She was all smile. She had her hands in the air, as if she was ready to clap any moment. She even hired a photograph to immortalize the moment. Her son? He was downright impolite. There are things that you don't do at those kind of places... like laying down and putting your hands behind your head.

His daughter was all smiley smiley because of her faith, I would assume. She even went (joined them midway) sing with the chorale. To her, his father was starting a whole new life. She used her father's funeral to attempt to convert us. We ended up spending over 1 hour listening to people talking about Jesus.

Same old Tenshi, I've just been slowly distancing myself from everything online and offline.

Yeah my condolences, Har. :/

Fick: Was in the mid 70s and sunny today, December the 1st. Keepin' it real, Maryland!


?!?!?!: I feel like I'm falling into something...?

Lolwtf: Trade and General Chat has been seeing crap like this spammed all day. Not exactly how I expected my WoW experience to go.

As I wasn't there I can't exactly judge, but it sounds like she was getting kind of pushy with it. I'm Christian myself and even I get annoyed when other Christians get too pushy with their faith.

I've never spoken at a funeral, but I know if I were in her position, I would have mentioned what the person who passed believed, and what I believed, and left it at that. What other folks believe isn't my business.

She wasn't wrong in wanting to be at least a little happier about it, but the execution was off and the reasons behind it were wrong. I feel that there should be smiles at a funeral - but for many it will also be a (likely not entirely successful) attempt to hide the tears. A funeral is meant not so much to mourn a death, but to celebrate and honor the life of someone who has passed. It should be about what that person meant to those left behind. Our lives may be short, but each one of us leaves an impact on the world around us, be it large or small. To remove the spotlight from that person's life and onto God or Jesus... even as a Christian myself, I find that downright disrespectful.

Of course, if that's actually the way your uncle would have wanted it, that changes things, but still - yeah, not a fan of shoving my beliefs down people's throats.

I know that feel, bro. I got so stressed out a couple months ago that I started doing the same thing. Hang in there buddy.

From my understanding, it was a deathbed conversion.

Anyway... Enough about this.

Fick: I'm tempted to buy a PSTV so I can play Tales of Hearts R.
Neg: Ys Memories of Celceta has not been patched to support it
Pos: The rest of the games I want (SAO, Freedom Wars, etc) work on it.
Fick: I better make up my mind soon because the $80 sale on Amazon is probably ending really soon...

2 weeks left in semester!

This is the calmest I've ever been near the end of a semester because I've kept up to date all semester long. All my papers and assignments are already completed, all I have left to do is a bit of studying for each of my exams. I've finally slayed the beast of procrastination!

No doubt about it ,going back to university is the best fucking decision I've ever took!

Positive: Since my little sister is a big fan of Shu Watanabe I pre-ordered her his 2015 calender for a Christmas present. It ended up shipping like a month early, so I got it today. It appears to be one of the calenders from the event he held last month because it has his freaking autograph on it. I will never be able to out do this present.
Negative: I sure hope my job at the garage starts up soon, I'm am almost broke.
