Guardian Ghost

So, guys, check out this website. It's a thing that my friend Tahlia and I are doing, it's a writing game where we write back and forth and basically have characters write to each other. I'm not describing it very well (we put up a better description online on the page) so you should just click the link and check it out. :)

Wanna buy some manga?

Mon, 10 Aug 2009 20:37:08 GMT

Just a quick little blurb here. I've got the English manga of Rurouni Kenshin #1-15, and I'm looking to sell them. They're in very good condition, as I've only read them each once, so they're hardly used, and I would love for someone to take them off my hands. If you were to buy them all, brand new, you could get all of these for $120. So really, making me an offer for something less than that, so long as it's a reasonable offer would allow them to be yours.

So name a price (you'll also have to pay shipping... I'll pack it as effeciently as I can and get the cheapest shipping method) and we can do business. They're the INDIVIDUAL manga, so it's not one big collection, just 15 individual ones.

Gradumacation

On Saturday, May 9th, I officially finished my undergraduate college career. This is sort of one of those things that I have very mixed feelings about. I return to Benicia tommorrow, and then I am there until June 10th. Sunday, I get to face my relatives and anyone else who stops by for my open house. (You can too!) My life, to say the least, is rapidly changing.

The Situation

Tue, 18 Nov 2008 02:02:25 GMT

So, I've got an update on my situation.

Classes will not resume until after Thanksgiving break, which means they start December 1st. While this is a good thing, it means that I have to make a round trip from Benicia to Santa Barbara and back tomorrow. A twelve-hour car trip. I'll be taking two of my friends back with me, and hopefully we'll get all get things on time and be able to head back ASAP so that my trip is not super long. If anyone wants to jump up and take a really long car trip and keep us company/be a driver for half the time, I'd appreciate it, but it's not necessary. I can drive twelve hours if I absolutely have to.

Either way, let me know if you guys want to hang out soon. I'll have a lot more time than anticipated...

Going back.

Sun, 16 Nov 2008 00:53:30 GMT

So classes don't resume til Wednesday at the earliest. I wanted to leave earlier but things were complicated so we're going to be leaving in like.. ten minutes to head to Benicia. It'll nice to be back, I'm not comfortable without my stuff but I'll just have to deal. I have my laptop, which is like my most important possession so I think I'll deal fine.

If anyone in San Jose or Benicia wants to see me, say so. I'll know Monday evening when I'll be able to go back, but I won't be going back til Tuesday evening so please let me know. I'd like to see people and not be entirely alone.

California Fire

Fri, 14 Nov 2008 21:07:16 GMT

So as many of you have probably heard there's a huge fire in Southern California, specifically around the Santa Barbara and surrounding area. To update you all: The fire started directly behind Westmont College, which is where I attend. After dinner, around 5:45 as I was heading back to my dorm a friend noticed a fairly large fire up on the hill. I was able to grab a few things from my dorm before we were evacuated to the gym. Because of high winds, the fire basically jumped all over our campus while a bunch of us were trapped in the gym. I was there for about 12 hours before they let us get to our cars to get somewhere else if we had somewhere to go. Currently I've gone to a friend's house about an hour south of Santa Barbara and am safe.

Westmont College was definitely devestated. We lost several buildings of freshman dorms, several other buildings, as well as 14 of our faculty lost housing. There are quite a few students who lost everything they owned.

If you're the praying type, please do. The fire has spread over a few places in Southern California and is affecting a lot of people. We need every prayer we can get, as I don't know what my college will be doing come monday, or even the rest of this weekend.

R.I.P Speedy. :(

Speedy, AKA Satan, was a wonderful cat I've had for like.. 10 years. When he was a kitten all he wanted to do was play (we kept him in my room for a while so that he wouldn't get freaked out from the other cat we had) and would wake me up in the middle of the night by jumping on me and meowing til I woke up. He also, when older, attacked ankles at Bible study which gained him the name of Satan. He died outside my bedroom door at home on Wednesday. RIP, Speedy. :(

The 'Tempting Fate' meme:
1. Make an LJ-cut post with "DO NOT READ" as the text.
2. Do not select a 'mood' for this post.
3. If anyone clicks the cut, they are to comment and admit to doing so.
4. Anyone who reads this also has to do the same in THEIR journal, thus continuing the never-ending madness!

To Breathe Twenty

Thu, 29 May 2008 23:03:31 GMT

Fragments of genius are hidden
Sometimes even tinier slivers slip their way into life
Slip their way into everything.
Genius always has a cost
Never seen as genius by the world
And only seen as such when long gone.
They too had twenty percent
Every day that they lived one of the eighty
Each day gone means
One step closer to the twenty.
Sometimes every breath, every step
An endless struggle not understood by common man.
How could they understand such genius?
How could they comprehend such inexplicable torture?
Even the simplest of tasks brought them to their knees
And they all met the same end, the end we all face.

Ordinary man does not face this end the same
They, a full one hundred, no need to fear
Come what may.
Few struggle for survival
And only those who do
Understand the meaning of genius.
But we few
We few
We feel the weight of everything
A ton of feathers and a ton of bricks are still the same
Yet it takes not a ton to feel it
But a single feather, a tickle of feeling
Agony
Terrible agony
Not desirable in the least
Everything tainted
A single breath a struggle.
How could they understand a single breath?
A breath gone on for a mere moment
A moment never again recaptured
They breathe as if knowing their next breath will come
We few feel
We feel it and every one a decision
Eighty, counting down.

It is not even a matter of being rid of it
For within every aching breath
Come the thoughts.
Madness, genius
Mislabelled by the world but ever present
Sometimes so beautiful that it is a struggle to grasp it
And the struggle pulls it from our reach
To laugh in our face
As it crushes the breath from our lungs
As if to say
“Twenty. Is today your day?”

Once you’ve tasted it you can’t escape
It is the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil
Your eyes are opened
The world is new
And you know how to express it
Somewhere in your soul.
But the taste lasts for a mere moment
A breath
And then comes the struggle again.
Ripped from lungs while the world watches.
And now what of the world?
They do not know.
They do not taste the fruit nor have mouthes to eat it
How can the mouthless comprehend taste?
They cannot even understand
Nor begin to
And they question why we are not alike.
Do they not struggle for breath too?
Do they not have to live life?
Oh, but not like this.
When they struggle to breathe
It is only because they held their breath
Not because it was forced from them by this
Beautiful chaos
Terrible, evil, mad
And yet it is us.
The few.
And our twenty awaits.

Friends Only. Because I've come to realize that some people are bitches.

Fri, 22 Feb 2008 09:53:14 GMT

I never thought I’d have to do this, but really, I’m making a large cut to my friends list. Really, I’ve recently come to realize that a few people I thought were friends were really just making fun of me right there in front of me. I’ve tried to be blunt and as candid and honest as possible in this, but I’ve come to see that people are bitchy and downright don’t care. And so I don’t want them around, nor am I going to open up anything personal of myself to them.

So this is the entry in which I make a large amount of cuts and if you still want to read my journal and I’ve cut you, you make a comment. Or if you want to be added.
