The following is an "offline blog post collection" of sorts done in Notepad, chronicling the significant events between Friday, May 25 and Thursday, July 12 of 2007. This post is VERY very long, so if you want to read it all, set aside AT LEAST about a half-hour of your time, preferably an entire hour.
Still reading? Good. Now we begin...
[Sig Note: I'll be making Sig Notes like these after each entry either as explanations, as a place to put additional content, or just as commentary.]

Day 1 - The end of an era
Friday, May 25, 2007 9:55-ish AM
As of a few minutes ago, I believe that I can confirm that I will no longer have access to my neighbor's wi-fi after about a year and a half of semi-continuous use. This means that it'll more than likely be months until I will be able to access the internet again.
While this may drastically hurt my computer time, I might be able to make use of the eventual boring air by finishing up a few simfiles I had already started in StepMania. This includes my Flowering Night simfile, my NaHaNaHa vs Gattchoon Battle simfile, my Never Die simfile, maybe my Gambol simfile (maybe), and I might even fix up my Ganymede simfile so that it's actually possible to do those last couple of measures. I'll also probably do more Spike Racers stuff like starting the much-needed bios, some more character development, some needed character creation for the later Spike Racers storyline (and maybe even for the early SR storyline), MAYBE some Spike designs (doubtful though), and if things get REALLY desparate in the "no-internet zone", I might even try to learn how to draw. :O
Hell, and if I do learn enough drawing skills I'll be able to finally draw some of my more developed character designs like Magna Gin, Mindy Massa, maybe Grim Targus and Nice Haanstrasser, and I might even get enough confidence to finally draw the one - the only - ______ ______. ______ will be fucking HARD to get right though, so that in itself will probably take a few months to finally nail down.
[Sig Note: I censored that last name because I'm not quite ready to reveal that character's name just yet. Once I do end up revealing that character, I'll uncensor this.]

Day 4 (Monday was Day 1 again) - Thought Purge #1
Thursday, May 31, 2007 8:33 PM
Had access from mid Sunday afternoon until I turned on my computer again early Monday afternoon. Haven't had access since.
This is really starting to take its toll, psychologically speaking. For only the second time in my life, I took my computer out to our back porch in order to get a connection (desparation does that). Sadly, there is none (like the first time way back when). However, unlike the first time, I decided to stay here on the porch table (thank goodness my mom cleaned it a few days ago - it's usually a dirty mess since no one ever uses it).
Now, I know that I've been a psychological mess these past months, but I fear that it's only getting gradually worse as time passes. Nothing's helping, either - my music is starting to get annoying and my only commonly-seen friend is back from Mexico and now he's working during most of my waking hours every day although even if he wasn't there's still no way I'd ever tell him of these writings of mine (he has absolutely NO idea about the contents of any of my blogs or anything that any of my blogs ever mention). I almost did once - when asked about how things had been and after I said the customary response ("nothing really"), I started mentioning how there were "other little things that really aren't that important anyway" - he wanted to know what it was over the phone, but I mentioned that it really wasn't the right time to talk about it (it was the first time he had called me since he came back). Thankfully, he's probably forgotten about it by now because we've seen and talked to each other various times since then and he hasn't mentioned anything about it. Besides, I told him where to find my blogs and that he should read them - and since he hates reading much less reading THAT MUCH, I have confidence that he'll never read them. Which means that he'll probably never know a THING about how I'm slowly going insane for possibly the third time in like a few months time - unless I personally tell him of course (which'll probably never happen by the looks of things).
Why do I keep typing, honestly? It's not like this is helping - it's not. It's not like someone's gonna look at these words and sentences and go "this person is suffering and he needs help" - honestly, who the fuck would do something like that?
Ever since I can remember, I've always been my own counselor for EVERYTHING. Remember those "suicidal outbursts" in seventh grade I write about so much? One day I got sent to the school officer's office for that. My mom got word of it, and after a stern talking-to from the officer, the school translator, and my mom, my so-called "talks of suicide" were finally put to rest and I was suddenly supposed to be better. Years later, I researched some stuff about clinical depression and the like, and I find out that when people have sucidal thoughts, they supposedly have to go through some kind of "therapy" or some shit like that. I personally found this new information rather amusing - I have NEVER gone through any sort of counseling or psychological therapy or any shit like that IN MY LIFE. Not even when I had my "suicidal outbursts". Hell, I never even had much friend support much less professional counseling. All of my personal problems that I've ever had I've dealt with myself, without any help whatsoever. And as much as I'd like to change that, it's more than likely gonna stay like that for the rest of my life. Why? Mostly because I find it hard to trust my own self, much less my friends and family, much less my friends and family to the point where I can tell them about my problems face-to-face. And I blame that on my school experiences. No matter how hard I tried, I was always a loner at school - that meant that I never had those friendly conversations and I never "hanged out". Later on I would get bullied and stuff - and after some time it got to the point where every time someone came up to me, I would receive some small emotional abuse and I would end up heavily embarrased (especially during seventh grade). By seventh grade however, it was to the point where every time someone opened their mouth at my direction, it was for more "emotionally abusive" statements or questions. This became so commonplace that I would eventually expect that every time I was approached by a non-friend, it was for more "emotional abuse". Every time.
Fast-forward to now. I see somewhere (on TV I think) that the teenage years are supposed to be the happiest times of our lives. My "teenage years" will officially end in less than two months, and I have to say that it's been pure hell. Some people would love to revisit their high-school years - I'd rather kill myself than relive those hellish three years again (thanks to the junior high system it was only three years - another one would've probably killed me - literally).
[Sig Note: Actually, now it's ten days away. My b-day I mean.]

Day 5 - Finishing the Purge
Friday, June 1, 2007 12:19 PM
Okay, so it apparently ended abruptly. That's because it was almost 10:30 and the gnats were starting to gather near my computer screen, so I said "to hell with this" and went inside. I would've finished it afterwards, but I forgot about it. ^^;;
Still no connection. Pisses me off.
I forgot to mention on the purge itself how I was researching on stuff about clinical depression and I stumbled upon the warning signs. Supposedly, a doctor (or someone similar) should be seen if you've been feeling depressed for over two weeks. I thought "TWO WEEKS? HAH! Wusses." It was pretty amusing, really.
[Sig Note: I fucking hate gnats. With a passion.]

Day 6 - Slight advances
Saturday, June 2, 2007 10:46 PM
Well, thanks to the sheer boredom this "no internet zone" thing has been causing me, I was able to almost complete my Flowering Night simfile that I mentioned earlier. It's fairly easy to make, since the song allows me to copy-paste a couple of note sections various times throughout the entire step chart. Since it's a gamerip and the song therefore repeats once, I was able to copy the entire first half of the song's step chart (minus a small unfinished section at the end) and paste the notes after the section that needs work. All that's left is to finish stepping the unfinished section and copy-paste it to the end of the step chart. Then I'm done - yay! ^o^
Heh, what a coincidence. Flowering Night just came up on my iPod's shuffled playlist. :D
And I just repeated it. ^^;;
Anyway, I also decided to re-export my two songs (and their "Bemani Cut" counterparts) into WAV files. Once I did (various times because ModPlug Tracker didn't export them correctly and because I kept making various volume adjustments to that damn piano), I loaded Sound Recorder and tried further bumping up the volume. That's when I found my previous problem's source: it wasn't ModPlug Tracker's fault (as I had thought) - it was Sound Recorder's fault. With enough volume bumps (four I determined), the quality of the song ends up like shit.
I'm probably gonna have to finally install Audacity now and see if I can bump up the song volume with that program (maybe - after all, it's supposed to be really popular with podcasters - or at least that's what the Wikipedia article said).
[Sig Note: Currently, Audacity is just sitting there on my computer's desktop. You'll find out why later on.]

Day 9 - Random talk
Tuesday, June 5, 2007 8:04 PM
I'm starting to listen to songs on iTunes that I haven't heard in next to forever now. Currently at Led Zeppelin.
Heh, how interesting. Since the window of my room is open, I can actually hear the rain outside. Well, sorta - I'm also listening to Led Zeppelin's "Since I've Been Loving You" right now. What an interesting combination.
...
Still raining, but now "Stairway to Heaven" has just started. Wow, now THIS is ambience.
...
As you can see, I don't know what to write. At all. "No Quarter" isn't helping things, either (nor is it hindering things though, so I'm keeping it on play).
...
Wow, is it just me, or is it raining a bit harder right now? O_o
...
Ah yes, "Achilles Last Stand" just came on. In the original video game version of Spike Racers, there was a track built around this song. The supposed "Spiketradamus" track (tentatively named of course, although it wasn't always a tentative name sadly) was a three-lap course with lap times of about 3 minutes each. The goal was to beat the competing mega-sized machine (the pilot of which I would eventually name "Goliath" Samuelsson), which would finish the three laps in about 9 1/2 minutes time. Would it have been awesome? For a futuristic racing game it most certainly would've been original (almost every track of the early video-game era was completely tube-based, allowing for multiple directions in races and "upward hairpin turns") since Goliath's machine (named "Boss" of course) was supposedly about half the diameter of the track itself and was (and still will be) about three to four times the size of an average Spike Racing machine (regular "season-acceptable" machines average in length about the length of the trailer section of a semi-truck and diameters are usually over twice the width of a semi-truck).
[Sig Note: Next time it's raining hard outside, start playing Led Zeppelin's "Since I've Been Loving You" and after that "Stairway to Heaven" - TRUST ME on this one: it kicks ASS.]
_______________________
Day 10 - Finishing it up
Wednesday, June 6, 2007 1:06 AM
Continuing from the above: would it have been awesome? HELLS YES. Racing games have never had that sort of originality - EVER. Nor will racing games EVER have that originality sadly. Downward turns? Racing against a machine three to four times your machine's size? A speed limit that's determined not by the machine's power, but by your own abilities as a pilot? A fairly-used brake button? How many racing games IN EXISTENCE can brag about having a track with multiple turns that are neither left nor right turns? None that I'm aware of.
Sadly though, the Spike Racers video game era officially ended almost a year ago. Now, although I would LOVE for Spike Racers to start out as a full-fledged animation complete with an official soundtrack (done by the great VH Nox), voice actors/actresses (professional-sounding amateurs of course, more than likely friends of friends of friends), and even commercials (yes, you read that right), more than likely Spike Racers will end up as a multi-page webcomic. Every week (going for Sundays because webcomics and even most other sites never update on Sundays), a new 20-30something page "episode" would be posted online. I would probably do the episodes many months (or even a year or so) in advance and start posting them when I'm almost done with the entire next "season" or even later. In other words, by the time you're almost finished seeing Spike Racers 1, I should be in the middle of making Spike Racers 3 AT LEAST.
What are my chances of learning how to draw? Extremely slim. I struggle with pencils when I'm WRITING - now DRAWING? I don't think I'm fully aware of how badly I'm gonna feel after I attempt (and fail) to learn how to draw for the billionth time, this time using "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Drawing" as a teacher (which I have yet to purchase but I will soon). My chances of learning how to draw are about as good as the chances of a parrot learning Japanese as a second language. Basically, somewhere along the lines of "I'll be damned if that ever happens, but wouldn't it be cool as hell if it did?"
2:30 in the morning. I better go to sleep before my dad wakes up. The only good thing about this "no internet zone" thing is that my computer is at my room now where it belongs. After having it in the kitchen for months at a time (literally - good thing there's an outlet right next to the dining table), having it in my room is much nicer. Too bad that if I get a connection again I'll eventually have this computer in the kitchen 24/7 once more. "Get your own connection" you say? We can't. We can't afford it.
My dad just coughed - not good. Gotta go - see ya. *hears snoring* Whew, false alarm. Still, I gotta go. 2:37 AM and I'm bored anyway.
Night. ^_^
[Sig Note: Now that I think about it, if I do a booklet-style webcomic, I could do some fake advertisements or something. It'd be quite entertaining to say the least. :P]

Day 17 - An interesting discovery
Wednesday, June 13, 2007 2:28 AM
I was just looking through some old text files of my Spike Racers video game-era development, and I came across some amusing stuff involving "Spiketradamus". Let's look through and update this, shall we?
"The Olympus Mons Invitational, held every year a few weeks after the official end of the season, is known as the most grueling and dangerous race of all time."
No longer true - that honor goes to the "Obelisk Pair" tracks. Held once as the 12th season opening race location, its winner was forced to immediately retire after prolonged exposure to high g-forces (he was going around Mach 11 or so, but thanks to the machine's g-force limiters he wasn't killed - although now he can't race anymore due to chronic injuries). But anyway...
"Most of the danger is credited to the host of the race and main attraction: "Goliath" Samuelsson and his colossal machine known as Boss."
Still true, although there's also the fact that it's the third-longest official Spike Racing track currently built, with lap times averaging just over three minutes each. At three laps, it makes for a very grueling race.
"The largest fully-functional terrestrial race machine in the known galaxy, it is also the largest known double-turbine engine in existence - over sixty feet in diameter at its widest, and almost half a football field in length."
That first part was amusing. "Double-turbine engine" you say? XD
That second part though was what caught my attention...
"...over sixty feet in diameter at its widest, and almost half a football field in length."
Holy SHIT that's big.
I was actually considering keeping the measurements, since they sounded right. But after looking at an old "scale-drawing" of some machines with Boss at the background, I'm not so sure.
But now that I look at the drawing more closely, it sure as hell ain't "to-scale" to begin with. However, based on the closest-to-scale machines with Boss, I have guesstimated Boss to be over 70ish feet in diameter at its widest, and somewhere around 115ish feet in length. I have also guesstimated regular machines to average somewhere around 12-20ish feet in diameter and range anywhere from 12ish to 40ish feet in length depending on the machine's design.
...
Holy bloody crapshit that's fucking HUGE. 70-foot diameter and 115-foot length? Ish? Damn that's big. And the regular machines are nothing to sneeze at, either.
Now think of the power. These machines race at an average of just over Mach 1.5 - and very fast races average about just under Mach 2.
...
You know what? Screw Podraces and the F-Zero races - Spike Racing kicks ass.
Nyeh.
[Sig Note: That goes double for Wipeout's multiple racing leagues. CONSISTENCY, PEOPLE!]

Day 18 - Technical Difficulties
Thursday, June 14, 2007 10:24 PM
Oh good holy hell - NOW I remember why I fucking hate encoding with LAME. >:(
Okay, here's the jist - my attempts at boosting up the volume of my songs are in vain. I FINALLY installed Audacity, but ANY VOLUME BOOST WHATSOEVER would apparently shoot the quality of the songs down the drain. So I decided to encode them to mp3 as-is. Unfortunately, a couple of minutes ago I remembered why I was encoding everything with iTunes in the first place - LAME SUCKS BALLS. My songs encoded with LAME sound MUCH much worse than if I had solely boosted the volume with Sound Recorder and left them as WAV files.
I'm extremely pissed off right now because I was THIS close to finishing up the songs. I had ID3 tags and everything. Then I put them on Winamp and THE QUALITY WAS PURE SHIT.
Lesson for today: ALWAYS encode your WAV files to mp3s using iTunes. Encoding WAV files to mp3 with LAME is like beating the files with a bat Office Space style. Popular, yes - but NOT RECOMMENDED.
That is hopefully all. Hopefully.
[Sig Note: So in the end, Audacity was worthless for what I wanted it for. If I ever make an A-Log in the future though, I'll be using Audacity instead of Sound Recorder.]

Day 19 - Inspiration Strikes!
Friday, June 15, 2007 12:39 PM
Last night at around 2:00 AM or so a song idea suddenly popped into my head. I was still on my 'puter at the time, and I wasn't doing much anything anyway, so I decided to open up ModPlug Tracker and put the song idea down. Unfortunately, I was struggling with the melody which had since faded into the nether reaches of my noggin. After switching from sample to sample and readjusting note after note, I finally came to three conclusions.
1: I need better samples.
2: Had I known how to play the guitar, none of these shenanigans would've ever happened.
3: The melody was gonna suck no matter what I did to it.
So I did the logical thing and sent the song to the way of the Daft Punk: I took out the ENTIRE melody that it had (all half a "pattern") and started working on the basic groove making occasional variations along the way. Earlier today I finished it and somehow it ended up being my longest song to date (which is nice).
So now I have Piano Electronica, Piano Electronica (IIDX Cut), Drum n' Bass n' Piano, Drum n' Bass n' Piano (DDR Cut), and this new one which I'll reveal the name of when I post my Type C flood once I'm back online.
Trust me - this song surprisingly kicks ass. It's what people would call a "head-bopper" (or something like that).
BTW, iTunes ended up chopping the quality of my other four files when converting to mp3. I'm too lazy to figure out why, so I'll just leave 'em like that. ID3 tags have been made for all five files, and the songs are now ready for distribution! Yay! ^o^
Now all I need is internet access.
...
*sigh* I miss having internet access.
...
...
Him.
On the roof.
With the groove.
On the house that we built.
[Sig Note: I give no hints. Sorry.]

Day 24 - Acquiring the means w/included phobic tendencies
Wednesday, June 20, 2007 2:52 PM
I need to make a correction. The title of the book wasn't "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Drawing", it was "Drawing for Dummies" - and it was 20 bucks (I had set aside 30, so that was very lucky of me). Still, there IS a copy of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Drawing Basics" at B&N (also 20 bucks) so if this book fails, I can always try that one as a (very) last resort before giving up drawing and therefore Spike Racers development completely.
This whole "drawing" business is starting to be a phobia of sorts. Seriously, I've been trying to work myself to start learning how to draw all day (all two and a half hours of it so far). I really can't bring myself to touch one of my pencils that are literally right next to this laptop, and it's starting to bother me immensely.
I need to figure out a way to overcome this immense fear that has very suddenly overcome me. If I don't, then Spike Racers will be trashed (along with the 8+ years of on-off work that makes it a potential masterpiece) along with my 2nd story (currently on indefinite hold until my drawing skills are good enough to pull it off) tentavely titled "Legacy" with a history that greatly rivals Spike Racers in development length, overall epicness, and story/character complexity (my current passion is with Spike Racers though, since it's much less strange than Legacy).
This would also shatter my plans of a third story with a development history of about a couple of months (during which the final title and basic premise have been decided on - and that's it).
[Sig Note: It would also shatter my plans of a fourth story, with a development history of about a few days now and a basic concept history of a few years. Even sadder? It's an animated sitcom (minus the "animated" part of course, although after three stories that could change).]

Day 25 - The reappearance of apathy
Thursday, June 21, 2007 10:33 AM
As you can see, I didn't finish my last entry. That's because, well, I just didn't feel like finishing it. I could say that I got distracted, or that I ran out of things to say, or that I couldn't find the right way to say what I had to say. And while those are true to an extent, the main reason why I didn't finish is because I ... just didn't feel like it.
I don't know why I got up early today (8:30-ish). I went to sleep at around 2:30-ish I think, so that's almost six hours of total sleep for me. Am I tired? Yeah. But I don't feel like going back to bed. Dunno why.
[Sig Note: This entry speaks for itself. These "Sig Notes" are tiring to write.]

Day 25 - The limitations of LEGO
Thursday, June 21, 2007 8:15 PM
Okay, so after my second hour-long attempt of trying to make a LEGO model of a Spike Racers machine (through LEGO Digital Designer, downloadable from the official site), I think I can conclude that LEGO bricks are NOT suitable for making Spike models. What a shame. :(
Now, I shall turn to K'NEX. All I need to do is GET A FRIGGIN INTERNET CONNECTION! GAH!!
T_T
[Sig Note: K'NEX looks promising - 400-piece K'NEX tubs apparently cost 20 bucks at Target.]

Day 26 - Quick recommendation
Friday, June 22, 2007 1:36 AM
Okay, so I WAS gonna do a manga review, but sadly I don't know how to without ruining the story.
So I'll just say this: buy all five current volumes of LIFE. Now.
Created by Keiko Suenobu (I didn't recognize the name either) and published by Tokyopop (that way you know what to look for), this is by far my absolute favorite manga series that I have ever come across (and I count Megatokyo in this even though it's not really a "manga" series). Now, for those of you who aren't into the drama genre and/or are big action-fan thugs (figuratively and literally speaking), STAY AWAY FROM THIS. The plot is about as emotional as the visual novel media would probably allow. "Holy SHIT that's emotional" -type stuff.
Okay, so I'm horrible at my word choices. But still, this is one hell of a series that touches on a subject that I really wish more series would touch on. I need more manga series like this one (anime is fine, too). Now.
And I need a quicker release schedule of volumes of LIFE. Volume 6 comes out I think in mid-September (I can't check though for OBVIOUS REASONS), and I really don't think I can wait for that long. Three months? Damn you, Tokyopop.
So before I make even less sense, here's the synopsis of LIFE Volume 1 taken from the inside back cover. *looks at length of synopsis* ...Holy hell that's a lot of typing. Damn you again, Tokyopop.
"Ayumu Shiiba is studying for the all-important high school entrance exams. She is struggling to get by, but thankfully has help from her best friend Shii-chan, who is at the top of their class. But when the test results come back, their friendship falls apart - Ayumu surpasses Shii-chan's scores and gets into her high school of choice while Shii-chan doesn't!
Losing Shii-chan is so painful for Ayumu that she starts cutting her wrists for comfort. Hoping for a fresh start, Ayumu arrives at her new high school and finally opens up to a new friend, Manami. But will Manami prove to be the friend that Ayumu truly needs or send her further in a downward spiral?"
I just saw something on the ad pages on the back: "Read the entire first chapter online for free: www.tokyopop.com/life"; personally, I recommend doing so. Almost 100 pages, and it's absolutely perfect as a stand-alone chapter. You can't get introduced to the story better than that without having to pay a cent.
Now, the books are 10 bucks each, so if the first chapter seems interesting, grab 50 bucks and buy all five current books. TRUST ME - it's well worth it. Take it from someone who's fairly cautious on what manga series to start buying. Hell, here's a list of manga series that I'm considering on buying for the first time.
- Neon Genesis Evangelion (that's if I can find the FIRST FRIGGIN VOLUME!)
- Welcome to the NHK (the only thing that stopped me from buying this instead of LIFE Volume 1 was the 18+ rating)
- Ranma 1/2 (I honestly have no idea why, and I don't think I have the bookshelf space to accomodate the entire series)
- Fruits Basket (shut up - I still need to find out more about it through Wikipedia before I come to a conclusion)
- Bleach (recommended to me by a friend, but I'm kinda hesitant now after doing some research a while back)
- BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad (doubt it though, but not completely ruled out just yet)
- Dragonball (this would be too cliche though, which is why I got Dr. Slump - but sadly, I'm still considering this)
- Cromartie High School (Protoculture Addicts previewed this in the current issue #91, and I liked it enough to look for it)
All of them except Cromartie High School I've been considering on buying for about a few months now, maybe even close to half a year. Naruto was also on this list, but my love for the anime and the lack of other titles to find at B&N forced me to succumb to the temptation. Naruto is basically a "meanwhile I get the other titles" series for me, although I can't seem to find Volume 9 for some odd reason. If on my next trip to B&N I don't find a series-continuation volume for my collection, I'm probably gonna start looking for the first volume of Cromartie High School.
[Sig Note: YOU MOTHERFUCKING SONUVA BITCH - TOKYOPOP JUST HAD TO DO A COMPLETE SITE REDESIGN - WELL, YOU CAN KISS YOUR "FREE PREVIEW" GOODBYE BECAUSE THE PEOPLE AT TOKYOPOP ARE COMPLETE BASTARDS! GAH!!!]

Day 26 - Not-so-quick finisher
Friday, June 22, 2007 2:03 PM
Ugh, just woke up. Last night my dad woke up so I bailed from the 'puter IMMEDIATELY. Hence the unfinished entry.
Anyway, in short: go to the website I posted and read that first chapter (just under 100 pages). If you like it (and you probably will if you're not an action thug and/or you don't mind the drama genre), then grab 50 bucks plus the respective sales tax (if there IS a sales tax where you are) and BUY ALL FIVE CURRENT VOLUMES! NOW!
And yes, I really don't know how my "quick recommendation" got that fucking long. I guess it's proof of how I need to stop rambling.
Hell, I ramble all the fucking time if given the chance. E-mail, PMs, comments, blog posts, even vocally if I'm not too nervous to talk (and sometimes even when I'm nervous). It's starting to annoy the fuck out of me and probably everyone else as well. Seriously, I need to stop ta*THWACK* *thud*
[Sig Note: You know what? Go to The Pirate Bay and look for the first volume there. Tokyopop pissed me the fuck off. Just remember to look for "Keiko Suenobu" if it gets too hard to find.]

Day 27 - Proof of insanity
Saturday, June 23, 2007 3:53 PM
I made this in Notepad a few days ago. [Sig Note: Looks better with Arial font.]

| lll |

¯¯
It kinda looks like a flag, doesn't it? If it doesn't, turn your head 90 degrees.
Now I just need to copy this to Paint, fix it up, and give it color. [Sig Note: Already done - scroll down to the very end of this post to see the kick-ass results.]
Just give me a few weeks - I kinda don't feel like doing it right now.
BTW, all "that's what she said" comments will be replied to by e-mail with a large image of Tubgirl. I'm not fucking kidding, either. Hell, I'm actually WILLING to Google Image Search a big-enough Tubgirl image for punishment purposes.
Hell, I might look for one just in case.
...
Okay, I think the above sentence was proof of my insanity. You know I've missed having internet access when I'm actually WILLING to look for a large image of Tubgirl. Good holy HELL I've officially gone off the deep-end.
In a COMPLETELY unrelated note, Happy Birthday to one of my friends whom I will not name but you know who you are (even if you'll probably never read this). No, I didn't forget - but having no internet access prevents me from letting you know on the actual day. ^_^;;
BTW, the "text flag" above is best seen with "Arial" font - "Times New Roman" does NOT do it justice. Nor does any other font, sadly.
[Sig Note: That includes this Georgia font that Blogger uses.]

Day 28 - Keeping track of the "zone"
Sunday, June 24, 2007 7:42 PM
I just added the day numbers next to the entry titles. That way, I know exactly how long I've been deprived of internet access.
Interesting note: not only has it been exactly one month (31 days since May 24) since I was first introduced to the "no internet zone" (although I didn't realize until the next morning that it wasn't my computer's fault), it's also exactly one month until my b-day. The day after tomorrow will be the "30 days straight" mark of having no internet access (which is what I'm keeping track of here), and I'm becoming quite psychotic from the sheer boredom this is causing. Combine that with an immense apathy caused by my semi-depressed mood, and I'm just hoping that John gets here very soon to shake things up a bit.
It's almost always EXTREMELY SLOW here at my house during this time of night (unless it's Monday or Friday because that's when wrestling is on), and that slowness is usually solved with some internet surfing. However, since there's no internet, I've been doing various other things during this time of day like writing these entries, listening to music, wandering around the contents of my hard drives, playing Soul Calibur II (which I'll probably do in a bit), watching TV knowing that nothing is on (no longer an extreme rarity thanks to the "no internet zone"), reading one of my manga books for the umpteenth time (which I do sparingly) or a magazine (usually EGM, but lately Protoculture Addicts has become interesting as well), or just lie down on the (carpeted) floor of my room with either my computer, my iPod, some reading material, or sometimes with nothing at all (except for the clothes on me you fucking pervs), and eventually I'll just fall asleep from sheer boredom. It happens regularly, too.
I need to go downstairs though and fix my VCR so that I can program it to record a show tomorrow. After that I'll probably stay down there and play SC2 with music playing from my iPod (thanks to the headphone-to-RCA cable I have). Or something.
...
This shit is boring. And I have an image to represent that which I'll post a link to with this entry once I'm online.

BTW, the underscore lines that I do in order to divide each entry all consist of 23 underscores. Every single one of them. Check for yourself if you don't believe me.
[Sig Note: The image in question. And the underscore fact isn't limited to this post - go check my MySpace blog posts and look for any underscore lines. All of them are 23-underscore lines. All of them. I think...]

Day 31 - Subconcious obsession?
Wednesday, June 27, 2007 1:32 PM
I can't believe I'm actually gonna type this.
Not even an hour ago, I had another one of "those" dreams.
Now, it's not a recurring SPECIFIC dream mind you (would be nice to have one of those), but rather a recurring setting/theme or some shit like that. Specifically, it's a school setting and a specific person always happens to be there (I won't say who - too ... embarrassing). Always.
Just under an hour ago, I had another one of those dreams again. School setting, and that person was there - practically right next to me.
Ah yes - instant ramen noodles. Always the perfect breakfast (technically lunch, but it's breakfast to me). I'd love to have REAL ramen noodles some day. But I digress.
The dream itself wasn't anything special, although apparently my 6'1/2" stature is considered tall (I was gonna compare height with some other student and I told recurring person to stand up also - apparently "other student" ended up being just an inch shorter than "recurring person" and I just towered over the two just like real life would say).
Mmm, now THAT'S good instant ramen.
Anyway, the actual dream wasn't special. However, what bugs me the most is the appearance of "recurring person". "Recurring person" has appeared in just about every single school-setting dream I've had over the past year or two (there are a couple of exceptions, but compared to the number of school-setting dreams I've had it's barely worth noting) and even in a couple of non-school related ones (I think ... maybe). "Recurring person" is currently the most likely recognizable person to appear in a dream of mine, with MY OWN BROTHER at a close second.
Obsession? Not a concious one. Honestly, on the concious level there's nothing even remotely close to an "obsession", and even the thought of it makes me chuckle.
What's starting to freak me out is the possibility of a sub-concious obsession. Why does this person appear in more dreams than my own brother does? Why?
WHY IN THE BLOODY HELL DOES THIS PERSON APPEAR IN MY DREAMS MORE TIMES THAN MY OWN FLESH AND BLOOD?! AUGH!!
...
...
I don't like obsessions. There's no such thing as a "good" obsession or a "healthy" obsession.
I don't want to have an obsession. It ... it'd be like a drug addiction or something like that. People don't look at drug addicts with a good eye. Same thing with people who have an obsession with something. It's like if they had a drug addiction or something. And most of the time they've never even TOUCHED a drug - and yet they're treated just the same.
I hate being treated like a rot-covered tumbleweed. An obsession would only make it worse.
...
Here I go, rambling on like an idiot again. I should stop here.
I just hope I don't ruin my life by typing this. I probably should've just kept my damn mouth shut.
[Sig Note: Only time will tell on how this entry affects me (and other people).]

Day 33 - Psychotic nothings
Friday, June 29, 2007 5:21 PM
The nature of my life makes it extremely hard to write about. Nothing happens. Literally NOTHING happens. So the moment something ACTUALLY happens, I write about it.
Sadly, this entry is a false alarm, as nothing has happened. At all.
So the only persistently entertaining thing that I can do is release the gates of psychotic insanity and just go NUTS for absolutely no reason. My "Day 30" entry shows the results of my most recent "psychotic episode", so to speak.
Unfortunately, going batshit insane is starting to get kinda boring. Like everything else.
[Sig Note: Hahaha, I like the title of this entry: "Psychotic nothings". XD]
_______________________
Day 36 - [no name]
Monday, July 2, 2007 3:30 PM
[Sig Note: I couldn't think of a name for this entry, so I left it without one.]
Okay, this one's a two-parter.
First of all, yesterday night I got curious on something: how would a simfile of "garden" look like? How would it be done?
Now, I was asking myself this because garden switches between 3/4 and 5/4 timing. However, the original beatmania IIDX notechart lists the BPM as 220, which would probably take care of that problem.
So yesterday night I tested my theory out. As it turns out, the beginning of the song is kinda off-beat but otherwise I was right.
However, after continuing to make the simfile I got to the final part of the song (after putting some placeholder notes on the later half of the song) after which I learned something: HOLY FUCKING SHIT garden is hard as FUCK to make a simfile out of (well, the OST version of garden is hard - I bet the gamerip version is much easier).
So after eventually getting frustrated with garden, I decided to try finishing my Flowering Night simfile. Through fears of overstepping it just a tad (as I was trying to step the percussion since the actual piano was quiet as fuck), deciding to step a small empty section of an earlier part of the song, and praising the feature of copy-pasting notes (which I used extensively thanks to the song's nature), I FINALLY finished my Flowering Night simfile! Yay!
Just in case though, I'm gonna label this simfile as a WIP for feedback purposes. It's not done until I take care of the simfile's issues discovered by people who actually know what the fuck they're doing.
Now for part two.
Last night I had another dream involving "recurring person". The oddity this time was the fact that "recurring person" never visually appeared - for the entire dream I was actually talking to "recurring person" on the phone.
O_o
This dream marks the very first time that I ever talked to someone over the phone INSIDE THE FUCKING DREAM. Interestingly enough, it was a pretty enjoyable dream - a "stress-reliever" if you will. Still, the fact that I had a dream like this while apparently "recurring person" claimed to be perfectly fine despite my worries concerns me. I've heard of people who've had dreams of loved ones claiming to be absolutely fine then some time after waking up learning that those very loved ones were dead. The fact that I had a dream like this concerns me greatly about how this person is doing considering how things are in-
O_O
NO! HELL NO! I WILL NOT RISK REVEALING THE IDENTITY OF "RECURRING PERSON" - NOT TODAY!
...
...
Um, okay - is it just me or am I starting to go insane again? Damn you, Stepmania. Damn you, um...
...
...nope. Can't finish it.
Damn you, ambiguity. Damn you, low vocabulary. Damn you, repetitive damn you's. DAMN YOU, LACK OF TIME TO COME UP WITH A BETTER WAY TO END THIS ENTRY! DAMN YOU!
[Sig Note: I'm sorry, the explanation you have reached is no longer in service. Please check your excuses and try again.]

Day 40 - Monotony, anyone?
Friday, July 6, 2007 6:03 PM
Well, I think it's official now - I have apparently run out of ways to entertain myself.
No new song ideas to butcher up with ModPlug Tracker or Anvil Studio.
No new/finished pathetic excuses of simfiles.
No significant progress with Spike Racers. Hell, no MINOR progress with Spike Racers.
No attempts at making another video for fear of fucking up my computer again - again.
Still haven't tried to learn how to draw. I think it's probably a phobia by now.
Going batshit crazy is starting to get old.
My music collection is getting repetitive. (this coming from someone who once had a song reach 50 plays in less than a week's time, and recently had another song reach 30 plays in about two days)
I apparently can't beat Metroid Prime 2 - damn you Dark Samus. So now I'm item-hunting. That gets boring QUICKLY.
Ugh, hold on - I gotta eat. >:(
[Sig Note: Yeah, because eating is SO overrated.]
_______________________
Day 40 - Still with the monotony (well, kinda)
Friday, July 6, 2007 11:02 PM
Just saw this, gonna finish it.
TV is - well - what it usually is. Tomorrow's Saturday so that means new Naruto.
BTW, I finally saw the second half of the second disc of the first Naruto Uncut Box Set I got some time ago. Fourth of July does that to you. [Sig Note: Actually, I finished it now. The second box set is gonna be hard as FUCK to find though.]
Anyway, besides three new songs I found on the 99.6% finished 16.5 GB "japanese doujin" song pack yesterday night [Sig Note: Correction: 99.8% - and it's done now.], most everything else on my tiny 4 gig iPod is starting to get repetitive. Sad too, 'cause it's full and I'm running out of songs to take out. Honestly, I need one of those 30 GB video iPods, just for size alone (I don't care about having videos on my iPod - I just need some friggin SPACE). I think the bulk of my laptop hard drive (a puny 40 gig) is music, since my music folder is like 8-9 gigs and I have like a couple of gigs of music stored on a separate folder (don't ask why - I just found a convenient download place and that place just grew and grew to mass proportions). All in all, I BELIEVE I have about 12 or so gigs of music on my laptop hard drive, which would make about a third of the entire hard drive. Add on the 16 or so gigs from the doujin pack (there's quite a bit of album art) and I think a 30 GB iPod would be perfect for me. ^_^
And for those of you who try to make the argument that I wouldn't listen to it all, I say "of course I won't probably listen to it all - but I'll more than likely listen to most of it considering who I am."
Of course, my current iPod will still see frequent use as a "favorite songs" iPod along with whatever I'm addicted to at the time. But when I want more variety (or if I want to explore the doujin pack some more), I can always go to my big one.
Besides, I'm still expecting much more music. I'm hoping for sometime in the near future to buy my very first import CD. I'm actually deciding between Akira Yamaoka's "iFUTURELIST" (mostly long versions of his kick-ass IIDX songs, although I think there's one or two Silent Hill tracks as well) and the "beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD OST" / dj TAKA's "Milestone" CD pack (80-something bucks, "Milestone" has long versions AND REMIXES of his IIDX songs, all in all 4 discs in total, DEFINITELY worth the money).
Sure, I could always just download the CDs, but for once I actually want to purchase PHYSICAL COPIES. Hells yeah, bitches. >:)
...
Bah, I can't seem to end this correctly, so I'll just say this: I might be going to B&N tomorrow so expect some talk about what I got (and why) either tomorrow or Sunday. Yeah,
I'm talking to all the people who can actually read this - all one of me.
You hear me? YOU CAN'T IGNORE ME FOREVER!! Oh yes I can. Um, he wasn't talking to you, he was talking to him over there. Who, that wierd guy? Yeah. YOU LISTEN TO ME, LITTLE MAN - I AM NOT AFRAID TO TAKE YOU DOWN! That's what she said. Oh, stop it - you sound like an immature junior high-schooler. Mmm, that's a good peanut-butter sandwich - lightly-toasted bread, too. Guys, shut up - I can't concentrate on solving that Mighl Sonne dilemma that one girl brought up. HAY GUYS LOOK - THE SWITCH IS ON, AND N...
...OW IT'S ON. AND N...
...OW IT'S ON. AND N...
...OW IT'S ON. AND-
Dude, don't mess with that, that's the open-thought switch. That's how we got "Unsorted Shit" done so quickly. Turn it off, man.
SORRY.
[Sig Note: That last part was fun as hell to make. Use your imagination on that "on/off switch" bit. :D]

Day 41 - Bitches don't know 'bout my lack of patience
Saturday, July 7, 2007 6:54 PM
Sometimes I wish there was another place in Twin that sold manga (Hastings doesn't count since their "selection" is so small it's pathetic).
Well, not only was there no Cromartie High School at B&N, but I was also only able to find Naruto Volume 9. Volume 10 was nowhere to be seen, and Dr. Slump Volume 7 still remains to be an exotic find only seen by online shoppers and people who actually bother to order it through the store. Since the last few times I tried to order something in the store I was forced to show a physical copy of a previous volume just so that they wouldn't have to try to decipher my infamous "mumble voice", and since I couldn't check beforehand online to see if copies of the books actually existed (which plagues the Lunar Legend Tsukihime series, of which I'm STILL missing the fourth volume for that reason), I decided against ordering anything so that I wouldn't have to spell letter-by-letter what I want to order just so that they tell me that there aren't any copies or that the site isn't returning any results while they ask me if I spelled it correctly only to learn that I said M, not N - afterwards telling me that the book isn't even out yet even though it CLEARLY STATES "2006", NOT "2007". "Oh I'm sorry, I was too busy looking at the month and day to realize that THE BOOK WAS RELEASED ALMOST A FUCKING YEAR AGO - THANKS FOR POINTING OUT WHERE IT SAID THE YEAR OF THE BOOK'S RELEASE THAT WAS LITERALLY RIGHT NEXT TO THE FUCKING DATE." "You know what? This is what I'm looking for." *points to title* "Um, but you already have that book." >_< NO SHIT SHERLOCK - BUT THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE CALL A "MANGA SERIES" - MAYBE I WANTED, oh I don't know, A DIFFERENT VOLUME??
Seriously, Twin Falls needs a good "otaku-friendly" store for once. I miss Sam Goody (that space in the mall is now occupied by two, maybe three boxes - and it's completely open/empty). And the other half of Best Buy's anime selection. And Hastings needs to expand their manga collection to anything more than the puny "third of a body-wide shelf" selection that they have (my description is VERY generous BTW - I don't think Hastings ACTUALLY has that large of a selection). Dude, that's not a selection - that's leftovers.
If I seem like a grumpy bitch to you, then I only hope you were thoroughly entertained by this entry. Go ahead. Laugh. Watching other people get extremely pissed off makes for great comedy, doesn't it? Hell, just look at MTV/VH1's shows. Oh look - he's angry, she's angry, then he later shrugs it off while she starts crying - pure comedy GOLD. Bonus points if HE'S the one that starts crying while she shrugs it off, just because nothing seems to tickle our funny bone more than a crying male.
Ah, don't you just love the glorification of machismo?
...
Okay, rant over - you can go home now.
[Sig Note: Holy fucking crapshit - how the hell did a MANGA update turn into a rant against the glorification of machismo? Personally, I think this entry shows the peak of my insanity during my "no internet zone" era.]

John arrives tomorrow.
1PM at the Boise airport to be exact.
I just learned this a few minutes ago.
That's right, the bitch-slapping hand of reality has officially struck. I was hoping he'd come soon, but DAYUM.

The "bitch-slapping hand of reality" - use your imagination on that one. :P

Damn, I just got out of bed so it's too early to think of anything more to write. -_-
Oh well.

Day 44 - Uh, wow?
Tuesday, July 10, 2007 9:02 AM
Yesterday was Ani-Monday on Sci-Fi Channel, and apparently Macross Plus ended its run. Four hour-long episodes, and even though I missed the third episode, the final one was good. "Hella good."
That finale theme though - holy SHIT. Not since .Hack//SIGN's "A Stray Child" has a song gotten to me so.
Now, Macross Plus was good, and I'd love to see the third episode's events. However, that finale theme (naming it so even though the song was played in various times of the short series since I don't know the actual name of the song) is reason enough for me to switch from "MIGHT look for the DVD" to "will look for the DVD". Besides, the series is short enough to fit on one, prolly two discs - more than likely it'll be cheap (under 30 bucks). And cheap = good.
Also, even though I missed most of the first and all of the third episode of Noein (also on Ani-Monday), it looks promising. [Especially yesterday's episode, which left me with that warm feeling inside (no, I didn't piss my pants - you numbnut).] I'd have to see more though before I make a decision.
Then there's Tokko. Missed the third episode, but found the fourth ... interesting. Thirteen episodes, eh? If everything ends up awesome, the DVD purchase will be a VERY smart buy - apparently, the DVDs are trilingual (English, Japanese, and SPANISH). Basically, if I end up loving Tokko, my parents could end up seeing it as well. Let's just hope Tokko ends up "awesome" and not "meh" (which is likely).
Macross Plus is a sure buy though. Since I'm definitely not a mecha fan, I'm not gonna look at the other Macross stuff out there. Macross Plus was good though, so I'll make an exception to the Mecha "genre" or whatever I should call it.
Damn, that finale theme...
[Sig Note: First of all, that bracketed part was added a bit after I finished typing this entry. Second, the name of the song in question is "Voices" and is available right here. In order to satisfy the curious, "A Stray Child" can be found here.]

Day 45 - The Yin and Yang of Daily Life
Wednesday, July 11, 2007 5:28 PM
Holy hell.
First of all, Best Buy has been reassured as a fairly bad place to buy anime. Hastings has improved on my view of it being a bad place to buy manga, but it still sucks horribly compared to B&N. Anime-wise, it's better than Best Buy but still not exactly "to par" with my expectations.
No Macross Plus sadly. But the first volume of Tokko and the first three volumes of Noein are at Hastings. And Best Buy has (surprise!) Pani Poni Dash! (first volume)
No Azumanga Daioh sadly (bitches). But Hastings has...
*drumroll*
...
...
...
...
...
*still drumroll*
...
...
...
...
...
*drumroll stops*
TENCHI fucking MUYO! THIRTEEN EPISODES, INCLUDING THE 40+ MINUTE SEVENTH EPISODE!! GAH!!! *fanboy-gasm*
However, it's NINETY FUCKING BUCKS! GAH!!! *cries*
Hold on, lemme explain something. The 40-something minute seventh episode of Tenchi Muyo! named "Night Before the Carnival" is probably right there on my all-time favorite anime episodes, if not my all-time favorite. Considering the fact that I'm a Dragonball+Z+GT/Naruto/.Hack//SIGN fan, this is quite an accomplishment.
...
Damn, hold on. Daft Punk is kicking ass right now.
I got two Daft Punk CDs at Hastings. "Discovery" was largely a disappointment, but it was worth it for Aerodynamic. "Human After All" on the other hand was pretty good. Got it for the full version of Technologic, kept playing it for The Prime Time Of Your Life and Television Rules The Nation.
Now I need Daft Punk's first album (forgot the name) - after that, my Daft-ness will be complete. Full version of Around The World, here I come! Woo! ^o^
"Television.
Rules the nation."
Kick ass.
[Sig Note: Wikipedia is your best friend. Since you're probably lost by now, now would be a good time to do some Wikipedia searches.]

Day 46 - The end is near
Thursday, July 12, 2007 11:39 PM
That's right, FINALLY I see the end in sight. ^^
I saw today in the afternoon (while playing Soul Calibur II no less) something that can be considered "life-changing": a newly-purchased "Cable Gateway" from Best Buy.
That's right, I didn't know what the fuck it was either. But then I saw the text under it...
"Cable modem with built-in Wireless-G router."
Immediate reaction? "HOLY SHIT, a two-in-one??"
Needless to say, I was shocked something like that even existed. Then out of curiosity I saw the receipt.
"HOLY SHIT, $150??"
Needless to say, I was shocked. Then I remembered that had we gotten them separately as I had planned, we would've spent at most $10 more. Or at least I think so.
Anyway, TOMORROW (or at least that's what I think I heard) they're planning to activate the service and install the extra coaxial cable we need. 30 bucks a month for six months, then 45 bucks a month after. Much more expensive than I thought, but since it's the only Cable ISP in Twin we really don't have a choice.
OMG, BEST CASE SCENARIO, I can do a MASSIVE 'net splurge starting tomorrow night (with Smackdown! being the ... no, not even Smackdown! can stop it). WORST CASE SCENARIO, by Monday afternoon (thanks to the weekend). But if things go the way I think they will, in less than 24 HOURS I can post this ENTIRE text file in a Blogger post.
It'll probably end up being double (or even triple) the length of my longest blog post EVER (which I believe goes to either my final MySpace blog post, my Beatmania IIDX intro over at the House of Media, or one of my lengthy Type B posts at the Random Rantings blog), but quite frankly I stopped caring at around Day 30 or so.
Ah yes, Day 30. The day I found the perfect song to lose sanity to. I'll link to it somewhere at the end of the Day 30 post as a Sig Note or something.
[Sig Note: Or I could always link to it right here since I'm too lazy to scroll up and fix Day 30's Sig Note. And no, I don't know what the name of the song is, either (or who did it).]
_______________________
I received internet access on Day 47. "Tomorrow night"? More like "tomorrow afternoon" - which is when I got access. I'm almost finished updating most everything that needed updating, and I just need to post this text file on my Blogger blog. After that, the Type C flood stuff will need compiling before I post everything. Hopefully by tomorrow I can post it.
Currently 12:06 PM on Saturday, July 14, 2007. With that note, I bid this text file adieu.
