Of Sunburns and Instance Groups [22 May 2007|03:56am] [ mood | frustrated ] [ music | The Black Mages - J-E-N-O-V-A ] Well, hopefully, my bonnie lass shall be back on Saturday. I can hardly wait! ^_^ Now I have more of an idea how Base feels. Well, I kind of did before, when Jen and I were still living across the country from one another, IMing and calling. I guess my feelings back then were filled with anticipation. Like wanting to get to know her face to face. Now that I know her, I guess the situation is slightly similar, but now instead of anticipation, it's a longing. I mean, yes, I look forward to bieng able to get...physically intimate, true enough. But I've missed more than just that - the witty retorts and rebukes, the tickle fights, the belly rubs, giving her massages, reading each other's writing and the plain ol' cuddle time, where we just sat there and didn't really say much or just talked about random stuff. ^_^ Well, not TOO much longer, now. Still, Saturday couldn't be farther away. >.< And my busy work week'll just make it feel like longer. >.< And, to top it off, working parcel pickup (cart wrangler, for those in the less suburban parts of zee world), I got me a minor sunburn today. Doesn't really hurt, but it itches ever so slightly on my arms. And my face feels too warm. >.< Guess I'll get my tan one way or another this summer. xD Ja ne, minna-san! ~Zero, out (of ways to keep still while waiting for Saturday! HURRY UP!!! >.< )) Mod that Mech!

*sigh* [16 May 2007|01:25am] [ mood | frustrated ] [ music | Martin O'Donnell - In Amber Clad ] Grr...I am all spazzed out over an IC "talk" with one of the worst in-game bigots I have EVER met (not THE biggest, just ONE fo them). Worked up, have to sleep for work in the morning and the one person who could help me chill out isn't here. And won't be back for a week and a half (unless some current factors change). And then she might not be staying... T-T *sigh* Bugger me.... Interesting how much you take for granted having someone around all the time, y'know? And once that person isn't there, it's like there's an empty space there or something. Puppy misses his Chibi... ~Zero, out (of somethin', just dunno what. >.< ) Mod that Mech!

One of my more introspective moments... [03 Apr 2007|03:44pm] [ mood | thoughtful ] [ music | Saliva - Click Click Boom ] Funny how some of my deeper thoughts are brought about by things other folks take for granted, like anime, manga. Or, in this case, fanfiction. The work in question, which is exceedingly good, despite some grammatical and spelling oversights, is called Frozen. It's an interesting work, based on Final Fantasy 8. I will warn you ahead of time if you averse to odd pairings (or "'ships", as the current slang goes), then you may not like this one, despite it's excellence. It does a very good job of pairing Quistis and Fujin. I will do my best, here, not to post any spoilers. Because you really, really, REALLY should read it for yourself. It's a bit of a downer, this part, though. And, as often happens, I find a certain song comes to mind and I can see Rav arriving in a blast of Crimson and completely turning things on end for the good of all parties. BUt even with the re-written portion in my head, the words are written. And I couldn't help but recall what Deimos, Rav's teacher and a Hand of Fayte, says to him, fairly early on: "Despite your best intentions, kid, you can't save 'em all." Even with that in mind, the Avatar series is going to turn plenty of universes on their heads. *evil grin* But, still, this one story is one I can't really touch (though the pairing is well done, and I may inspired for something similar when the Bureau crashes teh FF8 reality. xD) And the full force of those words, from one of the characters in my head to another, really hit full force. And so, oddly enough, I get an epiphany, of sorts, from the most unlikely of sources. Hopefully, I can use this in my own writing. Even with this realization, there will be a lot of the Crimson Avatar stretching himself to the breaking point to "take the hit", as it were. He, like myself, is more than willing to step into the line of fire if it shields his friends from harm. And so, my introspective moment becomes a chat about my up and coming fic. Oddly fitting, as it was a fic that started this. Thanks to Chendzeea Li for such a wonderfully thought-provoking piece of work. Go check it out. It's worth your time. ^_^ -Zero, out (of the usual things. ^_~) P.S. - The song I mentioned? The one I'm listening to right now, which is Saliva's Click Click Boom. Granted, the scene involved Rav having to fend off some of the baddies he has to deal with constantly (they either follow him or vice versa). But that part, after the rescuing and all, involved rock'n'roll, martial arts and a special pincer-style attack from the Crimson Avatar and Bahamut ZERO (my favorite summon attack of ALL time, GIGA FLARE). So yea. Maybe I'll wirte it up for the hell of it. If I do, I'll post is somewhere and provide a link. Ja ne! Mod that Mech!

/RANT [17 Mar 2007|06:44am] [ mood | pissed off ] [ music | Star Salzman - Tatsumakisenputronic (SF 2 Remix) ] A head's up: profanity ahead. ( Thou hast been warned... ) There. Now to sleep off my headache in preparation for the celebration of my Irish heritage, also known as Saint Paddy's Day! xD -Zero, out (of stuff. ANd LOTS of it...T-T) Mod that Mech!

D'oh! [05 Feb 2007|02:07am] [ mood | blah ] [ music | None at the moment...^_^; ] I'm still here! I swear! Nothing really noteworthy of late, really... Worked at Jackson-Hewitt, but will be unemployed, soon. Was hired as a temp, really...>.< >sigh< Back to the hunt...>. Mod that Mech!

Interesting.... [16 Nov 2006|03:36pm] [ mood | contemplative ] [ music | Psycho le Cemu - Aquaria (Hard Style) ] So my friend, Mythin, showed me an interesting site the other day, run by a guy named Steve Pavlina. The link he gave me was 10 Reasons You Should Never Get A Job. The blog had some interesting points, though as I read more on this guy's site, there's a lot about not being controlled by fear, which is a good notion. However, don't ever confuse this with eliminating fear. >>Semi-Rant, Thou Hast Been Warned<< One thing many folks think (working on a blatant generalization, bad Zero!) is that fear is a bad thing and that you should get rid of it. WRONG! Fear is the mind's reaction to a potentially dangerous situation. It's like warning sign that you should be more careful. It dates waaaaaay back to when we all lived in caves, lighting fires to drive off the dark, because we feared not the dark itself, but what it held. In that case, much larger predators more apt at seeing in the dark then us. But I digress. Never let ANYONE tell you fear is unnecessary. However, don;t let yourself be ruled by it, either. Another thing that tweaked me (as some things tend to do) is how he mentioned that a burger is "a very sad, diseased, tortured, chemical-injected cow." Now, while that may have been true when it was ALIVE, it is no longer. And it all depends on where the beef comes from. I will not argue about the ethics of slaughterhouses. I KNOW how most animals raised for food are raised and it appalls me that not all farms are run the way they should be, like my dad's childhoood days. However, I am an omnivorous mammal, like my ancestors and theirs before them. I require meat AND vegetation to survive. I was raised eating meat and I will raise any offspring I may potentially have the same way. BUT, I will not fault a vegan for eating only plants and the like. If you can get all the nutrients you need and live healthily that way, more power to you. Your choice and my choice, simple as that. Just don't go trying to impress your ideas on me and I won't call you a Salad-Shooter, m'kay? XP That being said, this guy doesn't. Sure, the passage irked me, but it also made me step back and think. Which is good, I should do that more often (just need to make sure the smoke detectors are off. XD). At any rate, this guy expresses his views, but doesn't try to change yours. And he's got some interesting stuff on his site, the "10 Reasons Not to Get a Job" being the tip of the iceberg. Go check it out, like I have. At any rate, it's an interesting read and everyone needs one of those every once in a while. Oh, and feel free to keep an eye on Mythin's blog. Crazy as me, but he words his arguments much more nicely and concisely. And I just rhymed. >.< Ja ne, minn-san! ~Zero, out (of time and money(though I have too much of the former, and not enough of the latter. >. Mod that Mech!

WTF. . . ¬_¬ [18 Oct 2006|05:40pm] [ mood | pissed off ] [ music | X1 vs SI - Redemption ] So. I just read yet another article on how WoW is ruining lives. >sigh< Welcome to the world of MMOs. This kind of thing has happened ever since computer MMO's have been around (including MUDs/MUSHs). And if you don;t know what those terms mean, Google them. Anywho, I'm not going to say that the game is NOT addictive. I KNOW it is. I will be one of the first to agree with that point. And it is unfortunate. In my opinion, if it becomes difficult for you to effectively balance Real Life with ANY game, you need to step back. Or someone needs to PULL you back. There is a kid in Australia who plays WoW 18 hours a day. EIGHTEEN FREAKING HOURS. He doesn't go to school or have a job (I assume the parents pay for Internet and WoW). He tends to have violent outbursts if things go bad (swearing, punching holes in walls, breaking bottles outside). And near the end of the report, the mother said she didn;t want to live like that anymore. . . . So WHY ARE YOU?! Cut off INternet and WoW, woman! INTERVENE!! Jeebus. Don't go on worldwide TV and beg for pity! Get up off your ASS and DO SOMETHING! Sheesh! I KNOW the game has ruined peoples lives. it happens with drugs and other controlled substances. Addictive personalities and such, etc. etc. Maybe I'm being naive or cynical or just plain ignorant, but...damn. MODERATION, people! It's PIXELS! PIXELS!!!! Damn. Take a step back, get some fresh air and all that. Don't neglect your LIFE! There are no rezzes in the real world. You get one shot. Don't Fsck it up. I play (though am currently on a lack-of-computer hiatus). I play on two RP servers. I only recently hit level 40, but that's for wo reasons: 1.) I RP, interacting with other players as my character, playing the role, etc. 2.) I have some semblance of a REAL LIFE. I hang out with my housemates (haven't met many folks here yet, recently moved). If I don't have any RP going on, I usually start to get bored after 3 hours or so. Even then, it takes a REAL good plot to keep me interested. Not real good at farming. And It ry to get at least eight hours of sleep a night, especially when I have work. Not really sure where I was originally headed with this... Well, maybe I was trying to say that, Blizzard has created a double-edged sword here. And WoW aside, there are MANY other MMOs out there that are just as bad. Unfortunately, there are just some people in the world who should avoid things that can become addictive. However, they usually don't and the media LOVES a good sob story to make everyone else feel like shit. I dunno. Just every time I hear about someone killing themselves or divorcing or breaking up with someone or losign a job or whatever because of a game, a gawddamn GAME, for the love of Mike...I slap my forehead and wonder WHY. It doesn't make sense to me. Maybe it's becasue, despite how well I can immerse myself, I can also take a step back from it. And some people can;t. I don;t know WHY they can't, and it drives me crazy. So...that's about it for this rant. Remember folks - All things in moderation. Or I swear to Bob, I WILL send the damn penguins. I WILL! ^_~ Ja ne, minna-san! ~Zero, out. Mod that Mech!

God-modders! Arg! >. [10 Aug 2006|09:04pm] [ mood | amused ] [ music | Sorcerer Hunters - What's Up Guys ] So I saw something in an MMO I play that made me wince, laugh and need to rant. XP One of the folks on this server was starting an "evil cult" Guild. The method of recruitment is rather shady, as most of the initial members were pulled in through trickery or offers of an easy way out of certain problems or difficulties or promises of eternal life. At any rate, many of the loved ones of these poor folk have begun to rescue them, my character being one of the rescuers (his lover was one of the folks tricked into it). Back to point: while listening to an OOC discussion between the Guild's leader and some other folks, she said, and I quote: "I won't god-mode anymore, but I will make it impossible for people to counteract me." Um, hello...? That IS god-modding!!!! >.< Come ON! One of the folks she was talking to made a statement along the lines of "Go ahead, but people are going to resist it." Well, yea. God-modding/god-moding for those who don't know, is when, in an RP, one player dictates the actions, moods, etc. of another player's character, often without the other person's consent. In an RP, the only way "mind control" and other things can work is if the controllee agrees to it. If the target say no, then tough luck for the controller (who, if they are very immature/ignorant/etc will often if=gnore the will of their target and keep trying. XP) Anywho, needed to rant, really. God-modding is annoying to no end, but this reaction of a semi-god-modder was VERY amusing to me. Kind of like saying, "I won't kill you, I'll just stab you until you die from it." It's the SAME thing. >.< Alright, I'm done. /end rant -Zero, out (of TACOS! OH NOES!!) Mod that Mech!

Holy Crap! [03 Jul 2006|11:54pm] [ mood | curious ] [ music | The Crystal Method - Name of the Game ] Wow, another lapse in journal entries! >.< Well, I've been busy trying to get a job. Things are gonna get hairy if we don't find something soon. And my car is in need of sparkplugs and waits for them patiently in the Giant parking lot across the highway. Just gotta figure out how to change the damn things. Other thant that, not much happening here. On WoW, I am in charge of one section of our Guild on Thorium Brotherhood, so that's gonna be interesting. Once I get back on. Had to suspend my account for lack of funds. >.< We'll see how things pan out. Ja ne! -Zero, out (of money, but I've got SOME time left!) 3 Modifications| Mod that Mech!

. . . [10 Jun 2006|02:30pm] And so a wonderful person and dear friend. Rest in Peace, Krista. We shall miss you dearly. Mod that Mech!

Look down! [13 May 2006|05:02am] I posted that little scene snippet I was talking about. Go down and see. ^_^ Gotta click the link. It's in the entry for the 10th of May. Enjoy! -Zero, out (of time and money.) Mod that Mech!

Find the Strength, the Courage to Move Forward... [13 May 2006|02:22am] [ mood | weird ] [ music | Darangen - Falling Back (Zelda 64 OC Remix) ] Well, close to go time, kids, and as such, I will not lie - I am scared shitless. I am also excited as hell. And worried and a million other things. Feel like crying one minute, screaming like a banshee the next and laughing like a madman after that. >.< So much to DO, both for the trip and once we GET there...SO much that hasn't been done that could have been done (that's mostly minor junk, I think.) So yea. I am frikkin' messed up right now. >.< Felt so damn surreal going to work after my two LONG days off... It's just...wow. Though, honestly, my move isn't as monumental as Yuri's, so I guess I shouldn't gripe. Gonna miss hanging with my buddies on Gaia and WoW for a while, but I'll cope. Oh, this is gonna screw up some Gaia RPs so bad....>< Eh, we'll figure it out. >shakes head< Man oh man...getting out in the world... whew. Well, one step at a time, one at a time...and if we trip, well, we have each other and our friends to help us up off our asses, ne? ^_^ Man, this is gonna be crazy for a while...LOL Business as usual, I guess... Well, here's for it! Iku ze! Ja matta ne, minna-san! -Zero, out (of what I DON'T know...) 4 Modifications| Mod that Mech!

>chuckle [10 May 2006|02:37am] [ mood | amused ] [ music | Nobuo Uematsu - Tatakau Mono Tachi [FFVII AC Version] ] So the other morning I had an...interesting scene pop into my head. I began writing it down and intend to post it here at some point. I think it was heavily influenced by three things: An RP Yuri and I are in on Gaia My obsessive playing of The Rub Rabbits My mind having yet to return from the gutter. >.< So. Once I get it typed up and spell checked, I will make a special post here. And people can read and comment and good stuff like that. X3 ( And here it is. ^_^ ) Ja ne! -Zero, out (of...stuff) 6 Modifications| Mod that Mech!

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children [10 May 2006|02:02am] [ mood | bored ] [ music | Disco Dan - Metalman Goes Clubbing ] Well, I watched the dubbed version and I think they did a supreme job on voice actors (though I never pictured Cait Sith as Irish, it fits and makes that much more hilarious and lovable.) Oh, and Reno is Jonny Quest/Raiden/Orphen/Axel. Anyone else notice how much like Matthew Broderick Quinton Flynn sounds? Or mebbe it's just me... >shrug< Anywho, had an...interesting half-dream, I guess, while trying to fall asleep after watching the movie. It was similar in some ways to Sephy-pants and Cloud fighting through the ruins of the Shinra building, but there were differences as well. Like how it wasn't exactly Sephiroth and wasn't exactly Cloud. Or how my vantage point shifted from the viewpoint of not-exactly-Cloud to a vantage close behind or over his shoulder... Yea. I think Zak is messing with me, I really do... >.< LOL Ja ne, friends! -Zero, out (of things to do to keep amused, awake and acceptably sane. >.< ) Mod that Mech!

ZOMGWTF?! [06 May 2006|01:39am] [ mood | pissed off ] [ music | iPod isn't hooked up yet...XP ] Okay, talk about a slap in the face. I finished all my work for the night, to a T. All things settled, all that good stuff outta the way. I get ready to hop on Gaia, maybe try KoL later and guess what? The sites are blocked. I double-checked my spelling and everything. Even the World of Warcraft Community Site is blocked. "What the fuck?" I even tried MSN.com, thinking I could try some of the games there to pass the boredom. MSN comes up fine and dandy, but the games section is blocked. I know I'm only here for another 8 days (4 of which I don't work), but come ON!! These are the things I do to: 1.) Stay AWAKE. 2.) Stay acceptably sane enough to avoid killing stupid people (guest and employees). Now, honestly, I don't think they want me to fall asleep at the desk, though they'd blame me not getting sleep (asshats). As for heedlessly slaughtering stupid people...yeah. I wouldn't like the eventual legal outcome, but neither would the hotel. Either way, I dunno if I can make it four days. Maybe I'll talk with someone. We shall see. I am NOT a happy mecha right now.... ¬.¬ Ja ne! -Zero, out (of fun Internet stuff to do after work. Better whip out the DS!) 3 Modifications| Mod that Mech!

.^_^. [05 May 2006|04:12am] [ mood | confused ] Had another excellent RP on WoW tonight. Be interesting to see how my WoW schedule shifts once we move. Had lots of fun, relaxing on my day off. So why do I fell like crying...? I dunno...guess I'll go play KH2, see if I can't figure out what's up...or hop on Big Xano, I dunno. -Zero, out (of...stuff.) 2 Modifications| Mod that Mech!

RAWR! [04 May 2006|02:06pm] [ mood | Xano, gimme yer sword!! I gots to skin me some bitches!!! ] [ music | ACDC - Back in Black (Theme song bitches!) ] >cracks knuckles, roll sneck< Right. So, in light of certain recent developments... I've got my work cut out for me. Now, I have spoken with Base on the subject, and sometimes depressed people just need to be alone and feel that way for a bit. Okay, I can handle that. But I swear by everythig I hold dear and value more than ANYTHING, I will pull him and Yuri out of their funks. Yuri is getting there, which is good, but this latest relationship thing is getting to Base. If it were in my power, there are some folks I would be beating to Hell and back for fucking this poor kid over so much. And yes, Base, V is an okay person, but she is on the list. I am a non-violent person, not big on conflict. I can take quite a but and shrug it off to an extenet (okay, sometimes I have to cry, but that's only if it's REAL bad. >.<) But when you mess with my friends...That's like painting a bull's eye on you and screaming "Look at me!". I have yet to raise my fists in anger (flying tackles were used, but they were preventative measures), but messing with people important to me is something that gets the Rage Gauge a-flowin'. So, yea, given the chance, there are some folk I'd slap around but good. However, the annoying realist in me informs me that lawsuits suck and we don't know any chaotic good necromancers, so.... (sigh) So, barring that, I have a couple of gloomypants to help out. Don't care what it takes to cheer these folks up! Jus' keep the Sobe and Dew a-flowin' and nothing can stop me! Mwa ha ha! Mwa ha ha ha ha! Mwa ha ha! And NOW to pack. KTHXBYE! -Zero, out (of sanity, my reality check was late this week....) Mod that Mech!

A Couple of Quiz-Things... [30 Apr 2006|04:02am] [ mood | awake ] [ music | Rammstein - Asche Zu Asche (RAAAA! ^_^) ] I dunno. Do these sound like me...? Would I look good with purple hair...? (I pose this to my female buddies, who are much mroe fashion savvy than I. >.< ) You Are The High Priestess You represent mystery - secrets that are yet to be revealed. You find yourself sitting between two worlds: one dark, one light. You tend to hold these two worlds in balance, reconciling the two. Open and welcoming, you invite others to learn your secrets. Your fortune: Something hidden, or latent, in your life is about to come forward. You need to pay more attention to your dreams, thoughts, intuition, and imagination. And if that involves tapping into your dark side, it will all balance out in the end. You have a lot of potential dying to be unleashed, so let those gates open! What Tarot Card Are You? Your Hair Should Be Purple Intense, thoughtful, and unconventional. You're always philosophizing and inspiring others with your insights. What's Your Funky Inner Hair Color? Yes, I realize these are most likely geared toward girls. I was BORED. Xp Mod that Mech!
