Welcome to Gaia! ::

An excerpt from Koji's Life:

All of the actors and techies leave with the solemn acting teacher to the fresh air outside of the backstage hall. A few glances are exchanged, and all of the Shakespear-clad douches form a circle and begin chanting and swaying in unison. A few jerky dance moves later, they all come to rest and the techies join the ring.
A boy in a courier's hat is forced into coupling hands with the guy who went commando that day. Close to tears of disgust, he olds back the ugre to puke and pretends to be as gloomy as the others. All around the actors began fidgeting and hidding their tears, the director making his speech on the last night of their performance. There is a small pause, and the director begins,

"To some of you, this may be the last production I ever work with you on. But it has been more then a pleasure, and this has become so much more then just a high school play..."

There is another hush, the emotion rising in everyone except for the writhing boy in the courier's hat.
...

"So, from the bottom of my heart, I'd just like to say--"
*BRIIIING RAAANG WHINEY METAL LYRICS*

GAWDAMNIT.
The boy in the hat contorts and runs for it, his cell phone blarring.
All the actors snap out of their moment, jabbering and yelling to cover up the feelings they'd been lactating. They close off their circle to the boy, but he isn't offended. He just walks off to the planter box, snickering and wiggling in pleasure at the perfect timing of that phone call.



...no, I don't have better things to do then write third-person memiours of myself. D:<



AD~ I'm not sure what my intention was. But I'm glad your speakers work? :U
Are you reading that Eragon thing? I don't get the hype over it. It sounds lame. D:

Shiro~ You and me both. But I have no more work to do, so now I get to sleep! >D
So...does that mean I lose my identity!? ; A;


And a month later, I still haven't completed that one commission. xD I don't even know why I pretend I care enough to own a shop anymore. x _x

Koji - A good interruption can make any situation better. xd

Well, I'd tried reversing a splitter into a "combiner" (AyDee terminology) and my speakers don't like that. I'm surprised nothing caught fire.

Ugh, no, not reading it. I attempted to read it once to see what all the fuss was about, but had to stop after the first hundred pages because it made the literature appreciation section of my brain bleed profusely. I didn't get far enough into Paolini's terrible writing to realize that it was a complete ripoff of Star Wars (storyline) and Lord of the Rings (names and places). Basic rundown:

Boy lives on farm with uncle
Boy finds rock - turns out to be dragon egg
Evil men in pursuit of egg kill uncle
Mysterious stranger takes boy under his wing
Boy swears revenge
Boy and mysterious stranger rescue girl from dungeon
Girl had sent the egg to mysterious stranger (but was found by boy)
Girl holds secrets to toppling the evil king
...and so on. Watch Star Wars and that's pretty much it.

Somewhere in there, the boy meets Murtagh (I think he's the Han Solo of the group). If you have any doubts, read the Amazon reviews. Those people make my day.

I can understand a lack of talent. But I don't condone plagiarism to make up for it.



Shiro - Ok, I'm serious now. Get sleep. You're completely delirious.

Ashram has had a CRAZY WEEKEND.

I went with Hong Kong with Al and Angelus (two of the foreign teachers) and we had a blast. Found an awesome mall that sells A FREAKIN' LOT of anime stuff, so will make trips back there for sure. Got my monthly comics, ate "Greek" (it was actually Middle Eastern) food and Korean "cook it yourself" food, stayed a night in Shenzhen, met some girlfriends of Al's fiance, had seafood, drank some Whiskey Bourbon, then came home.

Had an e-mail from my father, he's resigned as pastor of the church back home which means he's ... UNEMPLOYED! (still searching for his next task) But wait! There's more! I share this with a girl I know here on Gaia (known her for a year) and, truth be told, I've been interested in her and that interest has been growing lately. During our conversation about my dad, I just give it to her straight, ONLY TO FIND that she has been interested in ME for almost a year! But here's the funny thing! She just started dating someone six weeks ago, otherwise you would probably be seeing less of me around here than usual. xd

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! It's been a fun, fun week. xd

(no I'm not angry, depressed or anything, I actually find myself rofl rofl rofl a lot)

QA - That was one interesting story.

AD - Your sig made me stare at it for hours trying to figure out what everything was.


Opinion - What the ******** are up with the quests, I can't even finish the first one because I don't want to post something in the welcome to gaia thingy. Quests = lame. And that picture of the battle system just made me laugh, all the time they've had to work on it and thats what it's going to look like, I for one am disappointed.

Random Hoshi Story:

Ok so I've been working at my job for awhile and had never met my boss, not once I was just given paper and filled them out and bang job, my pay goes into the bank so as far as I was concerned I never had to meet them. But over the weekend while working and wish I could break the speaker that started playing xmas music that day. All of a sudden a person comes in and start talking to me which isn't a problem I talk to people all the time, then she goes off and talks to my coworker and all is good so I think nothing of it.

As time passes the lady is still there and the music is getting to me more and more, and the only thing I'm thinking is 20 more minutes and it's home time. Now this is of course when I get asked one more question, "What do you want for Christmas?". Now I being me am not a fan of Christmas and really want to leave the store so I say the first thing that pops into my head, "I want big pornstar boobs.". I said this with a serious face and loud enough for anyone in the store to hear. I didn't care I was off the clock at that point I was just a customer.

Now here the thing I finally ask who she is and hear the words, "Oh me, I own the store, I'm your boss.". So now I'm red and thinking I could now lose my job. But that wasn't the case she thought it was funny so now everyone makes fun of me at work. Mostly asking me if customers have pornstar boobs. It's not bad but after the first day it got old.

At least it gave me a story to tell.

holy crap, hoshi! i'm so glad she thought it was funny. gonk
i probably would have died and melted into the floor at that point. xDD

Akahoshi - xd A good deal of the stuff at my cubicle is photocopied claims that I consider the best examples of human stupidity.

And...that is classic Akahoshi right there. Not a pony...not a million dollars, no. Pornstar boobs. xd heart


Darkish - Good luck! Come see us when you're done! whee


Koji - Most popular authors can't write to save their lives. J.K. Rowling, Dan Brown and Paolini are but a few that cause me extreme pain.

xd !!! Those fruit made my day. Poor orange!

Yume - Anytime. heart

Laitue - MINE. My shirt. *snuggles*

Koji - Awesome story and perfect timing. xd But bad on the commission! You should be drawing me instead. *is shot*

Have I mentioned I love the fruit? Where'd you get that?

Hoshi - Story for the win! I'd ask why in the world that came to mind but I'm afraid to know the answer. I'm surprised Koji hasn't drawn you with big pornstar boobs yet. xd

******
I bring a new story. We had a group trying to shoplift. Two men, two women. One guy left as the other three got in line to rev up the car. The other three began to simply walk out with $600 worth of things.

Of course, they were caught. The driver booked it, and the police arrived. One manager (I refer to him as "Uncle Chris"), was holding onto the guy. Only he stopped and reached for something so he he had the guy by one hand. The thief took it as his chance, struggled out of his jacket and ran from Chris.

Normally, there's not much we can do when they run out of the store. But the guy had ticked Chris off so badly by harassing him the entire time he was shopping. (Saying Manager Chris was stalking him, following the manager around yelling "SECURITY" while pointing emphatically. And he's not security.)

So Manager Chris ran after him. rofl All the way across and out of the parkinglot, finally giving up in front of a pancake house and across from Dunkin Donuts. Even the stockmen had joined the chase for no particular reason. Later, Chris had said he'd considered ripping off his shoe to throw at the guy. It was bad enough that when Chris took off, he dropped the walkie in the store, tore off his keys, and tore off his tie in the midst of running. xd

When Chris came back, the first thing I ask him?

"Where's my donut?"

Damn Time Warner. *Shakes fist* But I have Boomerang now. heart

No, I never got the donut. xd But I kept harassing him all night, so he said he'd bring me one next time.

::Me:: Chocolate covered, boston creme filling.

::Chris:: Oooo, sounds good!

Funnier yet, later that night, my Dad stops for gas. The next pump over was my fellow toy associate, a cashier at the pump behind, and then Chris showed up at another pump. Wal-Mart meeting! xd
