Dear blog, synergy and I have settled in Mexico. I've already found a job supervising a shoe-making factory, from which I am now typing this. Synergy is quickly settling into the role of a housewife. We've got most of the basic essentials set up- Toaster, Fridge, Xbox 360, bookshelf and so on, and every night, before we cry ourselves to sleep from the fear of ecto5 destroying our happiness, we stay up late and do all the things a couple should do. Like play Portal. We have agreed that it is the best game of 2007. We dream of the day we can return to our former lives untroubled by any jealous ex-boyfriends of Synergy's.

If ever any readers see ecto5, please ask him NOT to pursue us. Synergy isn't his anymore!!!

Chronic Apathy blogged

T'was the night before Christmas, and all through the Wastes,
Not a creature was stirring, not even Dave.
Gore bags were hung by the Bobbleheads with care,
In hopes that no Mutants attacked in pairs.

Nova was nestled, all snug in her bed,
While Burke's corpse spooned her, minus its head.
And I, in my Duster and Trader's cap,
Settled down with Dogmeat for a long winter's nap.

When outside of Megaton there arose such a clatter,
I grabbed my Terrible Shotgun to see what was the matter.
Away to the gates I flew with a flash,
And saw Deputy Weld fall with a crash.

The moon on the ground where no plants could grow
gave the lustre of radiation like Ghouls that glowed.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a Radscorpion and Wastelander that cowered in fear.

A Yao Guai appeared, furry and thick,
And I aimed my Shotgun, steady and quick.
Hungry and venomous, the Radscorpion came,
And the Wastelander screamed, calling God's name.

"Oh help me, dear God! I don't want to die!"
He brought up his arms and shielded his eyes.
I pulled the trigger and the muzzle flashed,
And the Radscorpion exploded with a bloody splash.

The Yao Guai leapt, as a bird to the sky,
And met with my Shotgun right through its eyes.
The Wastelander cheered, and hugged me too.
"My savior! My hero! Many thanks to you!"

And then, in a twinkling, his head disappeared,
And a group of Raiders behind him hollered and cheered.
As I drew my Shotgun, turning around,
I fired point blank, sending one to the ground.

He was dressed in leather armor, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
A bundle of loot was strapped to his back,
And I quickly rummaged through the goods in his sack.

His eyes, how they rolled, bloody and merry,
His cheeks were like roses, red like a cherry.
His ugly little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard on his chin was white as snow.

The stump of his tongue lay cleaved in his teeth,
And the smoke from my barrel rose like a wreath.
The next one approached, famished and smelly,
And I pumped two rounds into his emaciated belly.

His face twisted in pain, like a vile li'l elf,
And I laughed as he perished, in spite of myself.
His eyes closed and he turned his head,
And soon he expired, cold and dead.

The next one came, going straight to his work,
Fumbled with his knife, then stumbled with a jerk.
I fired my gun right into his nose
And into the air his severed head rose.

I righted Deputy Weld, who was still alive,
Then returned to my house, going inside.
I went back to bed, and as I turned out the light,
I exclaimed "Merry Christmas to all! It's now all alright!"

Yes. So the other day I was watching a movie with Zooey Deschanel in it. But the thing is, I didn't think it was Zooey at first. I was like, "ZOMG IS THAT KATY?". But it's not hard to understand. See?

If this,



is Katy Perry, and this



is Zooey Deschanel, it's no wonder I mistook them for one another.

But the scary part is when you get down to the personality and music. How they look is almost the only thing similar about them. For example, Katy's music is emo and dark and angry, whereas Zooey's music is humble, cute and relaxed. Zooey is this sweet, honest girl, whereas Katy is the opposite. It's almost like they were the same person whose personalities split from birth. It's as if Zooey represents love and innocence, where Katy represents anger and depression. As if Zooey is an angel and Katy is a demon.

Zooey's music is relaxed, while Katy's music is hyper. Zooey's music symbolises all that is timeless, whereas Katy's music symbolises the hip, super cool, flirty, good looking, popular and rebellious side of our world. Zooey's like the person we all aspire to be, the hero of the story, whereas Katy is the bad@ss villian. It's as if Zooey is Batman, the hero we all love and respect, and Katy is the Joker, who we love and respect in a totally different way.

Nevertheless, they both kick @ss in their own different way, but I can't help seeing them as almost polar opposites to one another.

Harvest Moon girl blogged

Let's see if anyone knows what title pattern I have settled on. Well, for the next 24 blog posts anyway.

This blog is just to wish everyone who e-creeps on my blog a very merry Christmas! By e-creeps, I mean someone who reads my blog without dropping by and saying hello. I don't mind if you're an e-creeper. Hell, if I did, I wouldn't be making my blog posts public to one and all. However, if you do happen to be an e-reader (do you prefer that moniker over e-creeper?), then I unfortunately missed you during my Christmas signing spree yesterday.

I'm doing it an injustice by calling it a "signing spree" since I did try my very hardest to write each person a personalized little blurb in addition to the spree message and stamp. It's true that it was easier to write some blurbs than others, but, hey, I tried and ended up spending nearly 5 !@#$ing hours doing so. Some might think that I completely wasted 18,000 seconds of my life, but I disagree. I personally adore guestbooks - anyone who knows me (though that number is rather small) will tell you that guestbooks are pretty much the reason why I ever bother coming back to this site. I mean, I'm a huge people person and love to read about others' opinions and thoughts, but, quite frankly, guestbooks are my number one love. What about neo friends you ask? Well, if those people mean anything [to me] at all, they'll certainly have my MSN, my facebook, my phone number, or my address.

I think it's a pity that so many of both the new and the old members of the site have forgotten about guestbooks. One of the simple joys of my neo life is reading someone's thoughts on me through a small guestbook message. Sure PMs are great and everything, but I usually tend to completely forget them after a while. Guestbook entries on the other hand are much more permanent and usually leave me thinking about them. They were a great way to take the initiative into becoming friends with others back in 2004 and the beginning of 2005. After your first two or so years, you tend to forget them or begin to really only sign a few guestbooks every once in a while. It's not even for the oh-so-cool neo popularity that some of the older and more jaded members of the site would believe. *bleep*, man, I have over 60 pages of entries, do you seriously think I'd be comparing myself to all the pre-pubescent kids on this site? I've already found my lovely little clique from this site and though I wouldn't exactly object to getting more friends, I'm not exactly willing to whore myself out in order to attain more. Members who wish to become a part of my claque are a completely different story. Any interested members should PM me their resume, link me to at least 5 posts where they have visibly sucked up to me, send a 250 word essay exalting my talents and wisdom, as well as describing themselves in 5 words and then describing me in 5 superlatives. Oh, and let's not forget, you must have both a backbone and a sardonic sense of humor.

I don't think enough members realize the enormity of this site. Granted, there are sites with a much larger population like myspace and facebook and all that jazz, but this is much more interactive. At this moment (December 27, 2008 1:06 am in Upstate New York at a random hotel room near a ski resort), there are approximately 450,000 members who have joined this site. That's 449,999 other people who somehow through luck or fate or what may (i.e Google), discovered this site and decided that it looked interesting enough to join. Let's not even count the number of strangers who have visited the site once or twice but never bothered joining. This means that you, this little bundle of jolly atoms, have the opportunity to "meet" and interact with hundreds, no, thousands of other little bundles of jolly atoms! How absolutely incredibly is that? Well, I'm sure most of you don't ever bother thinking about that, since often you're much more focused on learning more stuff about that badass game for your 360/PS3/ect or trying to figure out how to beat that !#$@ing part of the game. However, try to stop right now and think about what it means to have access to so many people that you would have otherwise never known existed. It's unbelievably exciting, is it not? My love for guestbooks spawns from that very reality.

Posts can easily be ignored and PMs can be skimmed. On the other hand, I've never met someone who flat out hated guestbooks. Sure, the whole "ON A SPREE, SIGN BACK" thing is annoying as hell, but you're still left wondering why that member chose to sign your guestbook...or better yet, you're left wondering how the hell that member knows you since you never even knew he existed. So while "spree signings" can be annoying, they still demand much more attention than a a regular post or PM. A well thought out, personal guestbook entry is one of the most precious jewels on this site. It's even better because they're usually a surprise! While I've always loved guestbooks, I usually tend to sign only those of very close friends. Hell, I've spammed up Robabe's, Angiekins', and Shane babe's whenever the urge fit and I discovered that I had nothing better to do. The last time I had gone of a legitimate signing spree had to be around 2005 and even then it was mostly for neofriends and close acquaintances. This year, however, I decided I would be incredibly daring and sign the guestbooks of members whom I had seen around and who looked interesting.

The hard part was finding something personal to write to each person because there were members that I had only seen post once of twice. However, it's such a simple thing to give someone a heartfelt compliment and it often has a very positive, significant effect. Why not give a stranger a compliment on his talents? I've seen plenty of members who were funny, artistically talented, or just seemed to know what they were talking about - why not say, "Hey, good job. I wish you the best and wanted to tell/congratulate you about this: ______ ______"? The general message was easy - I hoped that everyone had a great Christmas and would have a fantastic new year. The message is sincere and heartfelt but I had a feeling that others would not believe it to be so unless they noticed that I had made an effort to leave a more personalized message. Hopefully (we're not going to argue about my use of "hopefully" here okay, foxshy & phil?), my entry made the member smile or feel even a modicum of joy. After all, isn't that what Christmas is about? Trying your best to make others happier. Oh, I missed like...5 or so people, so your entries will be late, whoops. In my defense, it was around 1:30 in the morning by the time I finished and I was just about ready to pass out. PLUS, I had just seen the single worst movie of the year, though it's a strong contender for the worst movie of the decade. Forgive me, dear e-creepers, for that movie was Twilight. Don't ever invite your cute little 11 year old younger sisters to watch it with you as a way to pass the time. RESIST THE URGE, IT'S NOT WORTH YOUR LIFE!


Dear Bloggie,

Mrs. Someone says that we have to write a letter to Santa! I don't know why but Noah refused to write the letter and chose to eat the paper instead! HE DIDN'T EVEN WASH IT DOWN WITH CHOCOLATE MILK, BLOGGIE! It turns out that Noah doesn't believe in Santa. I don't think that's true though. I think that his parents just didn't know he existed, so they didn't tell Noah about him. I never knew that there were people who didn't know about Santa, bloggie! Now I must go and find them all and tell them all about the wonderful things that Santa does! Jack says that Santa is really the embodiment of the capitalist system at its worst and that Santa is really extorting the elves and maintaining a sweatshop, but I think that he's just repeating what he heard on the tv. As if he would ever know the meaning of the word embodiment and AND why would you sweat in the North Pole? That's just silly now since eeeveeeeryone knows that it's really cold in the North Pole and that even the Polar Bears have to drink refreshing Coca-Cola in order to keep their bodies warm. Jack is just being a meaniehead because Gloria threw away the flower he gave her. It wasn't her fault though, there was HUUUUGE BUG on it and Gloria hates bugs.

Poor Jack was really upset by that but I forgot to be sad for him when he drank my Yoohoo! Can you believe it? Bloggie, I was going to offer that yoohoo to him. Speaking of <3 him <3, Jenny doesn't like him anymore! She met this guy named Ryan from Mr. Senor's class and she's totally heels over head - I think that's what big sister said is another epithet for "loooove"- for him. He already decided that he wants to work with numbers and become an accountant. Bloggie, I think he's a Martian because who on earth eeeever knows what they want to do for the rest of their lives when they're in the 3rd grade? Life is serious business and adult stuff! He can't even color inside the lines, how is he going to be deciding the future of his life so early on?! Mrs. Someone was talking to Mr. Senor about it and saying that she's so jealous he has an "advanced student like" Ryan in his class. Then she started talking about ME, bloggie!

She said that she couldn't believe that I had written "dinosaur" as my job career. Why can't I be a dinosaur, bloggie? They're extinct, you know. That means that if I became one, I'd be super duper famous and they'd make movies about me! They'd even be better than the Land Before Time! I could become an amusement park if I were a big enough dinosaur - think of the fun I could have as a dinosaur!! But, noooooo, Mrs. Someone doesn't think it's a good choice. I bet she wants me to write something like "ballerina" like Jackie did or "fireman" like John. But I don't want to be a ballerina or a fireman! I want to be a dinosaur and roar and beat everyone at racing. My only problem is that I don't know if he would marry a dinosaur. Fortunately, I asked him about his thoughts on dinosaurs and his exact words were: "Did you know that the T-Rex had a big head and little arms?" Clearly that means that he likes them too and is interested by them so he decided to learn more about them!

Wish me luck, bloggie, I'm going to work hard to become the best dinosaur ever! I have to go now, we're making clay figures in art today!

Readers, be sure to tune in next week to read an account of my Christmas, my trip after Christmas, my love of Christmas, and why I really have no real reason to love it since my Christmases tend to end in tragedy (now I'm just being melodramatic)! And the adventures of Jenny, the diary girl, him, and Jack and all that jazz. Plus, the introduction of more kewl kids!


Note: This blog was written over a span of three days during the very early hours of the day after a long day of snowboarding and Ocarina of Time-ing since I had no access to the internet. Therefore, I apologize for any spelling or grammar mistakes and for the general lack of coherence.

We all know that Nintendo is behind when it comes to online interactions. Nintendo is intent on utilizing a WiFi connection even though it is not very conducive to quality performance online, and the friend codes are laborious and an unnecessary precaution. In their efforts to protect their younger consumers, they have produced an incredibly constrictive online environment that is pretty hard to like.

But at least they are trying. Nintendo is definitely striving to bring a better online experience to consumers, although they are still leagues behind the other competitors in that aspect. Mario Kart Wii is a perfect example of this; the Mario Kart Channel is a cool way to track stats and world record times, and 12 players races are fluid and fun. Nintendo is doing their best to catch up, and I respect that. But if there's one thing that I will never understand, it's Nintendo's attempt at bringing online voice chat to the Nintendo Wii: Wii Speak.

Wii Speak is an attachment that plugs into the USB port on the back of the Nintendo Wii. When used with a compatible game, the device acts as a microphone that you can use to talk to someone over Nintendo WiFi connection. Which is cool; we've been waiting for news on Wii voice chat, so it's good that they addressed the issue. What is strange about this device, though, is that it is supposed to be used as a "community" microphone, so multiple people in the room can use it.

The first thing that comes to mind when I hear that is: When are you ever going to need a community microphone? The only thing I can think of is if Mario Party ever gets WiFi support and you are playing with a few people on one Wii. But even then I might prefer to have a personal headset so I don't have to share the airwaves with my buddy sitting on the couch two feet from me.

And on top of that, I really don't want my mom coming in the room and realizing that she can be heard by my three friends playing Animal Crossing: City Folk. My mom would freaking eat that up; I can only imagine what kind of odd things she might say while trying to impress the strangers I am fishing alongside. A microphone where everyone in the room can be heard seems chaotic, and could lead to a lot of embarrassment.

I hope Nintendo had something awesome in mind when they thought up Wii Speak. Maybe there will be some awesome family game that utilizes this community microphone. I am not too optimistic. I personally think it's just another example of Nintendo taking the cheap route to make a quick buck. And until proven otherwise, I am still going to be hesitant of this new peripheral.

Haha.

I'm not a blogger, but apparently I have no problem going on cam and having full conversations with the random people that pop in.

I've been helping out a fellow on there for a few months, but only recently have I started my own shows. It's quite a good time though. I've told some stories, played some Uno, cooked, and cut my hair for an audience.

The people that come in are fascinating. They're split into a few groups; random spammers and flamers, horny teenagers (male and female), and normals you can actually hold conversations(;p).

I..don't know. Haha, but, I think I'm going to keep with it for awhile (at least until my first successful casting call =D)...

OH, also, I was randomly featured the other day:

At least for now anyway. Merry Christmas everyone! No doubt I wouldn't be this happy if we'd carried on our traditional Boxing Day workout and god knows we tried a bit hard to continue it but we ended with the three points and that's good enough for me, especially against third placed Milwall.

I got my sales shopping in before the game since it was a 12 o clock kickoff as well. Quick visits to Zavvi, Game, Gamestation and HMV got me what I wanted, in and out 20 minutes. Surprisingly quiet around town as well. Usually it's packed solid on Boxing Day but I guess people were scared off by the Milwall fans this year.

There may not have been many people in town but at least there was a bumper crowd at the match. 9330 is one of our highest season but of course this was boosted by the 1500 Millwall fans who made the journey north from London. We started the game brightly having two or three close attempts in the first 20 minutes before Aaron McLean broke the deadlock on the 23rd minute.

The referee was another hugely inconsistent one, several quite disgusting challenges went without yellow cards before Tony Craig was sent off for Millwall for leading into a challenge with his elbow. I couldn't see it because there was a pillar in the way but on reports from someone sitting right by it, he wasn't sure the ref got the decision right. Millwall left two strikers on the field which meant we could finally start to enjoy some space, something we've not really had since being promoted to this league.

Despite this and a lot more chances we couldn't score the goal to put the game past doubt. We had the ball in the back of the net but this was before the linesman put his hat off so he disallowed it for a debateable offside. We decided the best way to play the second half would be to take our feet off the gas and let Millwall come at us, even though we had the man advantage. Wrong! This is Boxing Day and that means we were likely to lose, we should have gone for the jugular to finish it off. Millwall would likely have scored were it not for more fantastic goalkeeping from Joe Lewis and some excellent defending from Charlie Lee.

In the end though, we got three points, Millwall are a top team in this league and it all happened on Boxing Day so that's reason for Posh fans to be cheerful this Christmas.

Something cool I came across whilst obsessing over Prince of Persia:

quote
1. Concept
The first thing decided upon for any trailer we make is the overall concept of the trailer, what’s the purpose behind it, what we want to show and how we want to show it. In order to fit with the game’s artistic mood, it was clear from the beginning that we needed to have beautiful trailers with strong music to really move people when they watch it.
And so on. :)

OK, I have temporary internet access, and let me say this: OH MY DEAR *bleep*ING GOD! I've been at my Grandma's for one day now, checking a couple of my favourite threads via my Cell Phone (which is being a bitch by not letting me sign in.) and I haven't been able to post unless I get sort of lucky with my mom's iTouch, which will only let me log in as my Alternate Account "Azure". I've been doing shit: Playing I Wanna Be The Guy, Syobon Action, my DS and reading Eragon (one of my christmas presents, along with Eldest. I now have the full trilogy, save for the Cycle-finisher =D) and I AM *bleep*ING BORED OUT OF MY GOD DAMN *bleep*ING MIND!!!!

I can't wait till I get full internet access.
