Hope you can get that resolved, Mams. It always sucks to be missing money when you need it.
I find myself feeling a bit odd this morning. Maybe something to the effect of hypertension from lack of sleep. I'm just very jumpy and can't think straight. It may have something to do with the loss of my friend recently; I'm not sure. I feel as though I need to write more about him to get this miasma of thoughts out of my head and into some kind of organized form. I'll most likely have time to do that sometime later today.
@MP3 players: Mine holds ~30 songs. It does feature AM/FM radio, as well as voice and line-in recording though. I love it for its extra features more than the music I listen to on it.
Kraj: Is that the tyrant by the name of Wario in your avi?You realize he is responcible for the extermination of countless mushrooms?Just thought id let you know.
Indeed. And he is decked out in bling, the spoils of countless kart-race victories!
I pod's are scary to me...no autobot posesses that sort of technolgy...
No kidding? Considering Soundwave is a friggin' cassette player, perhaps it's time you boys upgraded. *Kraj summons the superior Transformers of the 1990s to tussle with Rodimus Prime: Laserdisk, Gigapet, and Pogo Ball.*

Yo, Rodimus, don't forget that, with English, there's always a space after any punctuation you care to use. Commas, apostrophes, you name it.
And no one commented on my poem. I feel dejected. Oh well. News is up, so here's the other one.
From wood and elven kingdom come
To join the fight 'gainst dark and night
I pledge to rout evil and scum
Beside the rangers and the light
Unjust will fall to sword and shield
And through my arm the eye will all
For in my fight I shall ne'er yield
And through my acts comes peace to all
Should Death come for me through this oath
For curse and pain are dearest friends
Then let him hail, for this my troth,
If this brings safety at its end
This Oath to Justice I do pledge
Bound in my blood, by my sword's edge.
A bit of it is actually context based for the RP he's in, but heck. It works.
Armored Core 4 is just awesome. That's all I can say about it.
Why thank you for reminding me of those things Nai.I do think im doing considerably well,however,afterall this is a keyboard made for humans...my fingers are each 6 inches across.Good poem though....its kinda violent for my taste.
Kraj: How heartless of you to condone so many mushroom ppl killed en'masse.Wario is evil,and I agree we need to upgrade.Please dont mention A con's name(soundwave) around me,im kinda jumpy.:)

Thanks to a_passer_by for the AWESOME banner!:jam:
It was actually supposed to be a sonnet. With 10 syllables per line, but I screwed it up and only did 8, and just didn't care to try to inject 2 syllables per line.
Good morning coffeegoers! Craven was kind enough to fix my banner, so now it should be totally fixed. Many thanks to him for that.
Other than that, I was told I've have a bit of yard work to do today. After that, I'll continue playing some FFT. I'll get to playing Tales of Symphonia sometime soon....I hope.
@Mamelon: Ouch. Another reason not to like tax season. I did mine last month through e-file with my step-mother and it was pretty easy, so if you have all your information, that might be a better solution.
I think Kevin feels a bit sensitive about being told anything that could be interpreted as something wrong with him. I don't think there's any shame in having a psychiatric condition, or in seeing a psychotherapist or counselor. However, Kevin often feels like he's being told he needs help with something that he doesn't think he needs help with. So be aware of that when bringing such things up.
Sakura, you said you were interested in reading poetry I'd written. This is something that I wrote one time, feelings I just wanted to put down in words, as I sometimes do. It's free verse, and the rhythm isn't that strong or innovative, and I'm not even sure anyone else would see meaning in it. But I thought you might like it, and even feel something in it.
There's something caught between my eyes
When I see it flaring
Like a thunder that I can't forgive
Because it never clears.
I'm walking somewhere, pale as flame
That muffles every sound
It's like a warmer face of grey
More somnolent than grim.
That darkness isn't void of light,
but neutralysis of hue.
With only soft-brushed memory
Left wrapped around my thumb.
Light, the recognition echo
A blur as vague as tears
Something clear was never found
To let itself come through.
Why is it that I feel so light
When I'm looking there?
If I'm crying, it's just because
I've wondered where it's been.
It's hazy what I thought it meant
Softening into shape
As no one's ever seen my face
I've always been away.
Of course, I'd welcome constructive criticism, from anyone that reads it. But be gentle.
Everyone has psychiatric problems, it is just some are more proniunced and difficult to live with and some are more socially acceptable. There is no shame it.
Also, since I just can't let Mamelon share something without doing the same-
And now I meditate upon my youth
Ah youth, the secret enemy
A child's assumption is that the world is his own
A plump comestible for his consumption
Trembling, sweating, virginal
Ah, thus the innocent monster stalks his prey
A dearth of erudition breeds cruelty
An innocent adversity sires voracity
And now I meditate upon the garden
Ah desire, how you have undone us all!
With but a taste, we are born in hunger
The world a museum of sustenance!
Longing, craving, grasping
We attain beyond all thresholds of reason
Satisfaction's impossible standard
Leads to the evolution of the new parasite
We are built upon those we have devoured
Ever living within our conquerors
A spiral staircase of yearning awaits us
Built upon the bones of the earth
Blood! Choler! Phlegm! Melancholera!
All four humors, I devour!
Skin, Nerve, Muscle, Bone!
All the tissues, I devour!
Man, Woman, Infant, Child!
All of Adam, I devour!
Philosophy, Art, Religion, Science!
All of humanity, I shall devour!
And as I spare none, I spare not myself!
Slowly, I ingest my world
Surely, I reduce it all to nourishment
Nutrients, elements, particles, atoms
For in consumption, there is a sacred nothing
A holy truth of abortive vanity
A useless conglomeration of pieces
The coming together of a truly hideous bagatelle!
I'll warn you, my style is ... well, esoteric. I like to write from the perspective of other people. This particular piece is written from the viewpoint of a certain woman, one who was very selfish and very self destructive. She really was very fascinating, as she strove to be very liberated and free from all obligation, but ultimately was a slave to her own vices.
This one is very strong. I can tell from reading it you have a love for words. I think this would go over alot of peoples heads though.
I love words myself, the way the fit together and mold each other. Words are like a hammer and chisel while ideas and emotion are cold stone.
Oh, and I'm going to start putting what happens with the girl in spoilers, because I really don't care if people read it that much, but I want to put it down somewhere. Read it if you want, I don't really care.
So on Friday night at like 8:00 she calls me because she is driving by and wants to drive over and say hi. So she does come over and we were just talking for a while about random stuff, and then she had to leave. I know it doesn't sound like much, but she had never done anything like that before, and it really showed me that she cared for me and she wanted to hang out with me. I don't know, maybe she just thinks of me as a better friend now, but maybe, just maybe, she is starting to be attracted to me. I can always hope, I guess.
Oh, and she sent me a text message that basically said that if someone gave her a choice of hanging out with me or drinking with her other friends, she would pick me in a heartbeat. That made me feel pretty good.
That sounds really promising. I would say for this to happen so soon after her finding out how you feel is not likely a coincidence. It is obviously related somehow. While it may not be a romantic thing, it is obvious she has realized just how crucial to her happiness you are.
Grass is green on the outside but beautiful on the inside Green is part of life and grass is life. Grass is important part of life because it makes landscapes beautiful Grass shows peacefulness Peacefulness is grass since grass does not make noise
Grass is calm in the winds Calm is what Grass is Grass can show you the way since its life Without direction there is no life but with direction there is life Grass is all about direction and life We live and breathe when grass is here
Grass is like a loved one A loved one is always here for you Grass is everywhere so grass is always here. No matter where you go your loved one is here for you No matter where you go you will always see grass
I hope you guys enjoy reading it see you all soon! *hugs and blows kisses*
Welcome back shaharazad long time no see! How are you doing these days?
Love,
Cecilia
Thank you for sharing Kevie.
It is a pretty poem. Very simple and fresh, which fits the subject well and gives it a good feeling.
Heylo everyone!! I have a couple poems to share, the first of which I wrote in 2002 (I was 18).. I have some more recent ones but since these two are already up online, I figure I'll post 'em:
Words are the poetry of the ages
The nuances of communication-
There is no simple substitution for words-
Even the Deaf have words
Words spoken with fingers
But words, nonetheless!
Beauty is language
Language is communication
Communication consists of talking,
Talking is wrapped around words.
Therefore and thereby,
Words are beauty.
And another one entitled "Handshakes" (written in 7th grade):
Your hand clasped in mine
Whether it's firm, strong and comfortable,
Or if it's loose and cold,
That tells me what sort of a person you are.
If you're afraid to grab my hand,
And shake it, or
If you shake it with a "dead-fish" grip
You can bet, that I won't be impressed,
Right off the bat.
That's a little something called,
"First Impressions", and the firmness of
Your handshake is something
That I and others may use to help judge
If a person is worthy to keep as a friend.
Someone who is sure about themselves...
So straighten up that wrist,
Open your hand and your heart as you
Wrap your fingers around the others' hand
Welcoming them into your lives.
there you go... Hope you enjoy.. let me know what you guys think
Also, to Faerie Lord for the 4100th post!!!
I've made a physical therapy AND chiropractor appointment on Monday.. both.. i'm getting a second opinion from the chiropractor, and following physical therapy as the doctor ordered.. but I may choose to do chiropractor instead/in addition... Does anyone have any recommendations as to which direction i should go?? On the one hand I want fast relief, the other, I don't want to go against what the doc said.. but the doctor seemed really ambivalent about it. didn't really seem to care much... which made me think about how someone said I should probably go get a second opinion if i feel like he didn't care much for it all..
Anyway I've been on ehre for a while, and I SHOUDL be doing other stuff.. ie, job search.. but i dunno, I may switch off with Ryan to do some reading for awhile to rest my back... not sure..
Have a good day!
I like the first one alot, but the second one does nothing for me at all. Though concidering it was written in 7th grade it is very good.
Second opinions are always a good idea. Even the best doctors can miss the simplist issues. I have known alot of people who sepnt years with a condition with the doctors baffled. As for the ambivelent doctor...sometimes that is a good thing. A doctor who gets too emotionally attach to patients and issues can make wrong choices due to a bias.
Seeing as we're doing the poetry rounds, I'll throw out a piece that I am working on at the moment, it's a first draft, so be nice:
What, Religion?
Again crusaders, Legions apart Ancestors call, For holy war.
Hounding a myth, Guilty of sin Night procession, A roasting.
Splintered rot-wood, Recruitment stop Dark feet stumble, Oppression.
Amongst the debris, Cold men sit Only the perfect, Perish the rest.
What, Religion? Fleeting schemes Preceding injustice, No, not for we.
I'm well aware that tackling a subject like this needs not only further knowledge but probably a longer form, rather than the short stanza I've taken above. That was part of the challenge for me, and whilst one paragraph is a little off-topic, it's definitely got potential.
Anyhoo, just a quick drop-in.
Very quick worded. I like this poem. The way the words jump at you is very effective.
Poetry: I think I'll include the poem of mine I love best. And, after I make my Fictionpress/Fanfiction sites kid-friendly again (there's nothing TOO bad on there, but I delved into the vice of boy/boy love with a particular video game, and I'm not too proud of it), I'll include the links to it somewhere around here.
A sentinal stands
On a hill
Ignoring the wind
Its persistant chill
In one hand a sword
In the other a shield
He stares unblinkingly
At the lower field
Down there stands a farmer
Working with his wife
Cutting down their wheat
With a dull bone knife
The soldier descents
With long and silent steps
Towards the lowly farmer
With long and silent steps
But the soldier doesn’t stride
His leg leaks blood
He limps along the field
Leaving behind red mud
The farmer looks over
And smiles with kindness
And he gave welcome to the stranger
“Come, have a rest.”
The man was grateful
And slowly moved in the house
And made himself a scarce guest
Not disturbing a mouse
It took him weeks to heal
He paid his stay in work
And quickly cut the fields
With a razor sharp dirk
A month went by like nothing
And soon he said farewell
To the nice woman and the farmer
But there is more to tell
For another year passed
The soldier was fighting war
He worked for a high baron
Who had land, but wanted more
The soldier came to a field
A field at which he gazed
A job he had to do
The house had to be razed
The soldier walked to the field
Holding a burning branch
His orders were quite simple
“Go and burn the ranch.”
The soldier saw the farmer
And hence pulled out his blade
And reached a fated crossroad
One of which heroes are made
He doused the branch with water
And took a hand of grain
He sliced the stalks with ease,
His meaning very plain
Since then he fights no longer
He turned a pacifist
He lives on an adjacent farm
With the first girl he ever kissed
Very well done. My only complaint is the second half of the poem. It reads like the words and structure came easily for the first half of the poem but you had to struggle for the second half.
And no one commented on my poem. I feel dejected. Oh well. News is up, so here's the other one.
From wood and elven kingdom come
To join the fight 'gainst dark and night
I pledge to rout evil and scum
Beside the rangers and the light
Unjust will fall to sword and shield
And through my arm the eye will all
For in my fight I shall ne'er yield
And through my acts comes peace to all
Should Death come for me through this oath
For curse and pain are dearest friends
Then let him hail, for this my troth,
If this brings safety at its end
This Oath to Justice I do pledge
Bound in my blood, by my sword's edge.
A bit of it is actually context based for the RP he's in, but heck. It works.
I like this one alot too. Good work.
Sorry for the last post being so spammy...but I was pretty badly wasted. I started to quote posts to respond too but that was going nowhere so I just posted a quick hello.
Saturday night I met up with one of my best friends, Doug. We were playing together in a Vintage 2hg tournie the next day and we needed to finish our decks. When we were almost done, Jen expressed an intrest in going to get something to eat and we agreed. On the van ride there Doug was refering to me as "he" and as "Scott". I generally let this slide because I understand this is hard on everyone. Sometimes I gently remind them I am a girl and of my name, and it usually goes well. This time Doug turns to me and says "I cannot see you as a girl until you get the surgery you need to complete that. Until then technically you are a boy." I tried to explain to him the difference between gender and sex and he started fighting with me. I snapped. I demanded he stop the van and let me out, instead he sped up to the restaurant while I kept yelling to get out.
When we finally got there I turned and walked all the way home. I felt very paranoid...like people were watching and following me. It is not a feeling I have had in a long time. All I could thing is "I need to see Jay" (LunaSlave). I didn't want to be home when Jen and Doug showed up.
When I got home I jumped on the computer and PM'd Jay over MSN...he was AFK so it took a while for the response. I had enough time to play a game of Magic and vent a bit. By this time Doug and Jen came back. Doug came to talk to me...I had no idea what to say to him. He startes going on how it isn't easy to remember my name and the right pronouns...I tried to explain I wasn't upset at that and understood it. It was his ignorant idea of gender that upset me and how adamant he was about it. I tried again to explain the difference and he said it wasn't true. He left.
I finally got Jay online and I told him I needed to buy him some beer. He agreed to meet me. On the way out the door I had a small fight with Jen. She told me I was being selfish and inconciderate of others. I explained I understand it is hard for everyone to adjust and get used to. I told her I rarely ever correct people calling me Scott or Him, and when I do it I am gentle about it. I do not force my problems on everyone at all, I do not even talk about it generally and just try to live my life normally. I only took offense at what Doug had said.
She said I was still selfish. I explained to her what in my mind it is like to be me and feel like I do. How I had spent my whole life being what others wanted to be easier for them, to try and make things that much easier on my friends now would not help me at all and leave me where I was. I asked her to imagine what it would be like to took up in the morning and have male parts, to have people comment when she doesn't dress in men's clothes, to have people start conversations with her talking and asking about things she has no intrest in. I explained how it isn't a choice, which her and Doug seemed to think. I explained how when I imagine myself making love to someone I see and feel myself as a woman. She seemed to understand a bit better but asked me to leave.
I was crying and shaking by this point.
Normally when I meet Jay to go to the bar, I just go to the bar and wait. This time I found myself walking to his place to meet him on the way. I really needed to see him.
We met and I was still kinda broken but feeling better having him there. The paranoia lessened somewhat. I felt safe.
We went to the Bohemian, he said some friends might be meeting us later. When we got there, some guy hit on me. It was great. He was a gay older guy. Not my type at all, but I really needed that boost. Later in the night he whispered in Jay's ear that he really had the hots for me. I orderred us a pitcher and we sat and talked. I explained my night...though found talking very hard. Mostly we just sat.
After a while Jay's friends showed up. Ang (Lesbian), Pam (Lesbian, Anges ex), Mike (I think that was his name, Gay). Really nice people. We went and got a table together. Jay told Ang about me and Ang told the rest of the group and everyone was fine. Neither myself nor Pam smoked so when the others went out for a smoke we stayed behind and started talking. She is very smart and witty and absolutely gorgeous. She tells me Ang told her, and after chatting for a bit we move closer together and we kind of zone out most of everyone else. Pam tells me that she really does see me as a woman and that I have a very beautiful and feminine look and vibe. I almost cried. I asked her outside to talk away from the music for a bit and we chatted outside. There was definately a serious chemistry between us and we exchanged numbers. She text messaged me after we left the bar to make sure I was ok.
I am going to try and meet up with her tonite after work if I can get in touch with her. She really is an amazing girl, and she made me feel very special.
On a side note; While at the bar I used the women's washroom. The first time I didn't realize until I had already walked into it without any thought. It was empowering.
I finished our decks the next morning and Doug and I won the tournament. I will post the decks and a tournie analysis tomorrow.
I'm in a bad mood. Months ago, my mother told me she'd do my taxes for me (before anyone jumps to a conclusion, I never asked her to, she insisted on it - I wanted to learn how to do it myself) and she told me she just needed the information from my personal W2s to enter in online. Now, like a week ago, she tells me that she now needs my actual W2s so that I can mail them in. Not thinking I'd need them anymore, I'd put them away somewhere weeks before we moved, and now, I can't find them. I've looked everywhere in this house that might have papers filed away, and I just can't find them. This means I'm not getting any tax refund. Which sucks, because I was really counting on that money for a number of things.
Ouch. Call your employer. Get yer W2. Contact the IRS. Chew out yer mom.
Everyone knows that a frequently-refilled iPod shuffle with a well-stocked iTunes is the way to go. No worrying about silly playlists or ploughing through thousands of tracks. Just load up 100 songs at random each day and head out to face the world.
I never saw the point in putting whole albums in anyway. Hardly anyone ever likes all the tracks on an album, so why are you carrying the tracks you don't like around with you? Silly people.
Because sometimes I'm working somewhere or something and I wanna hear everything by Weird Al all at once.
I love my new iPod, but I shall always miss my old one.
Mams, you also should be able to file for an extension with the IRS an request new W2 from your employers. Not the best solution, but should be doable.
Seconded.
Sakura, and all of that: I'm really sorry you had a bad time, but you should be grateful you have so much support, both here and offline.
Speaking of which, I ask that you all extend a prayer to Lilly; she's having a lot of trouble overcoming her fears.
Regular of the Week later today--sorry everyone, Sunday was busy busy.
Don't worry about the post. It was a little heartwrenching to read that you went through all that, but I'm glad you're doing better than you could've been.
Another random poem before I run off to work:
Worlds apart yet
Same faces see
Each other shares
The same prodigy.
Time will tell
The truth belies
A heart's attachment
Will shrivel and die.
Dedicated to the loss of my old iPod, and the purchase of my new one (I try to keep my poetry current ^_^)
Game 1: The fish player just pulverized me with quick beats like a couple of silver knights and isamaru of konda. He also had a sword of fire and ice out and a jitte. I had to mulligan down to 5 cards though in this game and i didnt draw any of my deeds quick enough so it was a quick gg for me.
Game 2: This time i was the one that was doing all of the damage. I drew all of my discard and used hymn, duress, and cabal therapy to rip his hand apart. I was able to play a couple of necravolvers and swing for the win.
Game 3: This game was a game that could've went either way. I ended up removing all of his threats via stp, deed, and diabolic edict. I couldn't draw anymore removal for a few more turns though so he ended up playing a sword of fire and ice and a serra avenger equipped on it to end the game. I didn't draw any of my discard at all in game 3 so that didn't help at all lol.

Round 3: I was playing against countersliver
game 1: This game i had to mulligan down to 5 cards so that didn't help at all. He ended up playing a crystalline sliver then 2 muscle slivers and had plenty of countermagic to back up his creatures. I was dead in like 5 minutes of action lol.
game 2: This game was just like the first game except i was able to draw a deed then play it. The deed resolved and i activated the deed to blow up all of his slivers and i was down to like 7 life by turn 4. I was able to come back though and win with necravolvers and river boas.
Game 3: This time he had really bad draws and couldnt draw a land until 3 or 4 turns later. He played a pithing needle during the first turn though and named pernicious deed with it. I kept applying pressure which ended the game quickly otherwise if he had as much lands as i did it probably could've went either way.

Round 4: I played against mono white angel stompy.
Game 1: He was able to play most of this threats i removed them of course with deed, stp, and more. I was also able to rip his hand apart with a couple of hymn to tourachs. He was able to win though by casting cataclysm after he has a exalted angel with a sword of fire and ice on it.
Game 2: I dropped a scrubland and duressed his hand i got his armageddon. Then i extirpated his geddon to rid myself of all of his armageddons. He continue to play savannah loins, and other beats as well and kept me on a relatively fast clock. I was able to deed, stp, and edict all of his threats though. He had a jitte out a couple of turns later and then put a silver knight on it i finally get a threat on the table but it wasn't enough to stop his jitte and silver knight. He ended up winning again of course.

Round 5: I played against another UW fish with pride of the clouds.
Game 1: I was able to hymn and duress him like crazy. For a few turns he played some big threats like serra avenger and exalted angel i ended up removing them though. I played a couple of necravolvers and ended the game somewhat soon after.
Game 2: He plays pithing needle and names deed. He also has stifle and countermagic in his hand for backup. He ends up playing worship and keeps on applying pressure to me with creatures and kept on forecasting pride of the clouds. I get rid of his non-token threats of course and was able to get out a couple of necravolvers out in the mean time. Luckily i stopped his meddling mage with a stp when he named necravolver with it. With a couple of aether vials out he was able to pump out more threats and was able to get his pride of the clouds to be pretty big and swinged for 15 so i was at 17 life from 32. I was gaining a bunch of life from the necravolvers. I managed to draw a vindicate though and at the last second i was able to destroy his pithing needle and end the game right there with a deed. Then attacking a couple of times with a threshold nantuko monastery.

Round 6: I was playing against angel stompy again.
Game 1: i was able to rip his hand apart with a couple of hymns and duress ridding of his jittes and sword of fire and ice. He was able to play a couple of threats with additional of exalted angels. I was able to recover from his threats by destroying all of his threats with deed, swords to plowshares, and vindicates. Then i applied constant and a steady clock on him with river boas, and necravolvers to win the game.
Game 2: It was pretty much the same as the first game except i didnt draw any of my discard. I also had to mulligan down to 6 cards. He ends up winning with stonecloakers, aether vials, mangara with karakas.
Game 3: this time i was able to remove most of his threats but it wasnt enough he had a mangara out combined with karakas and he kept on removing every threat i have in the deck. I didnt draw one vindicate for the entire game unfortunetly to get rid of his karakas. He ends up winning with a jotun grunt in play and by the time i could get rid of his grunt it was too late for me.

Overall i was pretty happy with the deck and had alot of fun. I mean i was one win short of almost making top 8 which is a big plus for this deck. I am 20th place out of 57 players which is pretty good considering i havent went to a legacy tournament for a little more then a year.
Props:
The coffeehouse I would like to thank everyone in here for giving me alot of confidence to do well in the tournament.
Team funk for coming up with this brilliant funkbrew deck for the legacy format.
Jake who is known as Devastater here on mtgs and is also known as the rack on the source. Everybody should pay some respect to Jake considering he was the original builder of funkbrew. Although im going to suggest it as a potential deck for legacy even though i am not a article writer on starcity games.
Cons:
I didnt have any cons.
Well i hope all of you enjoyed the report. See you all soon! *hugs and blows kisses*
*sigh* I don't like poetry much. Sorry everyone. (I'm not saying I don't like anyones, I'm saying I'm not in a great [meaning I only like to read poetry when I'm in a really good] mood right now so I don't want to read them :slant:.)
I just finished the first piece of my star wars Fan Fiction. I found a site that has a very large community for it to post it on. The link is here, you can post comments on it here, or pm me. If anything I'd at least like to know if you read it.
EDIT: Yay, the first person who complimented me was a big name on the site :D.
Cecelia: I think you did very well for that tournement ;). I know I'd probably go 0-6 >.<
I am resolved. It is all over and I am resolved. I missed you guys quite the much.
@Poetry: I write a lot but never really poetry, I don't think I make a good poet. However I am rather proud of my SSC VI entry so read that if you want to know what kind of style I have.
I picked up Lunar Knights today and so far 15 minutes in the game is awesome. A must buy for all DS owners. My spring break starts next week, as does Passover and college season for me. Passover I like, college season, not so much.
For the rest of you who have been worried about me, do not any more as I am fine.
Also: I finally played Guitar Hero for the first time yesterday! It was SOOO much fun. And its coming out for the xbox360 on the 3rd of April :D. I hope I can get it.

I'll bet you wish you had a non-unglued/unhinged card that shared your first name.
Sakura: You weren't be selfish at all. Not at all. It's not okay for someone to hold beliefs about you that are wrong, regardless of what those beliefs are. You are female, and that's all there is to it. It's fine to get pronouns and names screwed up when outwards appearances don't fit the two, but... It's not okay to refuse to say it when corrected.
It's great that you have found someone. I'm not sure what your sexual orientation is (now THAT is a hard word to use, considering your current body parts), but it sounds like you at least have a good friend there. Congrats on the use of bathrooms, too.
Game of the Week: I know I'm behind, and I'll get one out today or tomorrow. I have a few on back-order (and a stack to my right that can fill the time), but I just can't get myself roused enough to do one.
@Kev: I always like reading tournament reports, and I liked reading through that one. I used to be mainly a Johnny, but I think I'm slowly becoming a Spike. My deck in the PCL is a testament to that, I guess.
@Sakura: Well, congrats to you for having the courage to go out in public and hang out and talk with people as your new self. I don't think yelling to be let out of the vehicle was such a hot idea, but from what you said you seem to be adjusting fairly well.
As for myself... 1st six episodes of Air just finished downloading. Samurai Deeper Kyo and Noein should be done in a couple of hours. Until then, I'll be available for PCL games or just casual games if anybody wants to play. PM me if interested, since I may be on the site intermittently.
I forgot to mention...when Jay dropped me off at home we hugged and I recall kissing him. It was a very nice kiss...but everything was very fuzzy.
I got alot of empowerrement from a series of events that started from a very emotionally hurtful situation. Nights like Saturday are the reason I always say never to dwell on the negative. I always try and laugh and smile in every situation no matter how hurt, scared, broken I feel. Saturday was actually one of the best days in my life.
While I am upset with Doug, I know he means well and is just missinformed.
To be accepted as a women by someone who is only attracted to women, and be accepted with an obvious romatic chemistry even though I was wearing mainly mens clothes (aside from my jacket, nail polish, and my favorite hair ribbon...I was completely male in atire. I sadly need more clothes) It was an amazing situation.
@sakura: well i am pretty happy your doing pretty well now and that your finally going to get back on track. Im glad you like my poem as well!
@koolkoal: awww im sure you can do pretty well in legacy if your dedicated to it.
@mr. stuff: thanks mr stuff! Yeah i try to be precise with my tournament report as much as possible although this is the first one i have been too in like a year.
Well see you all later. I am going to go for awhile ill be on aol and msn if anyone wants to talk to me. see you all soon! *hugs and blows kisses*
Well, as I mentioned before, I was looking for some further way to say goodbye to my friend. I think I have that now. I just checked the Yahoo group for our anime club, and found several messages from friends at WSU. The most important was this one:
Quote from "lij »
Tonight at 10:10pm, Adam passed away, In the room at the time were his mom, his sister, his grandparents, me, my brother, jeff, jessi, chris, and adam(adam's friend from cleveland adam, just had to throw another adam into the mix to confuse everyone). We all decided that while Adam was passing it would be a good idea to play some music that he would've liked, so the nurse turned on WTUE, The first song was a Zak Wylde song, and the last one was, we think, by Smile Empty Soul. He breathed unaided for roughly 30 minutes before passing. Even in dying he was every bit as stubborn as he was in life. We will all miss him dearly. I know I'll be thinking of him with every hand of euchre I play, episode of naruto or bleach i watch, and every new chapter of Berserk I read.
R.I.P Adam. May 1983-March 2007
Goodbye, my friend.
From what I understand, the funeral is today, and another service will be held tomorrow. I didn't expect this to be so soon... I may try to go to the service being held tomorrow after work. I could stay out late that night since I have Wednesday off. I'd go to the actual funeral tonight, but I just found out about it, and it involves a 2.5 hour drive there and another one back.

aww thats so sad. *gives Mr. stuff a big hugs* wow that must be kind of inconvient for you but im really glad you have time to go to his funeral. Its pretty horrible losing someone you really care about but im glad they will always be remembered in everybody's hearts.
I am sorry for your loss, Mr. Stuff. We share in a bit of your grief.
Whew. Monday's over. Thank god. I'm gonna get a belt clip for my iPod today (if I can get one at a reasonable price--otherwise I'm gonna keep the ugly one I bought yesterday in a rush), then go home and post Regular of the Week. I know whoever I picked is eager and honored to see what I have to post.
Unless I'm mistaken, the funeral service was today, and they are having what the obit lists as "a celebration of his life" tomorrow at 7:30pm. The only problem with that, for me, is that the service is being held where he lived in Cleveland, not where he went to school in Dayton. Instead of a 2.5 hour drive, that's a better than 5 hour drive, one way. If I left after work and went straight there, I *might* get there just in time. I'd stay there for a few hours, probably, leaving around 9:00 or 9:30, which puts me returning home at 2:30am in the morning. Not good prospects. I'm debating right now whether I should go or not. I would like to say goodbye one last time... but obviously, he won't be there, just his friends and family, most of whom I don't know. I tend to break down and be generally unconversive at events like these as well. I may go, and I may not. It's a tough decision.
Well, regardless, I feel better knowing that he is actually passed on and not sitting in a prolonged state of pre-death. I know most of the people who saw him at the hospital, so I almost feel like I was there, from the description that was given. It's a sad time, but I also have many fond memories because of him. His parents are collecting donations for the Muscular-Dystrophy fund, which is apparently what had debilitated him in life.
And hey, thanks for the games, 'Fox. That second-to-last one was one of the most fun games I've had in a while.
Wow Mr. Stuff... Here's some heartfelt friendly love from yours truely:
* Crimson Avatar hugs Mr. Stuff.
I'd probably go but I'm a different person than you so whatever you can do I'd say do...
And on a more minor note: yay new router for Sakura!
As for me... well lets just say don't try to talk to people that obviously have no clue what they're doing when it involves your electrical system. It involves headaches for everyone.
I always like reading tournament reports, and I liked reading through that one. I used to be mainly a Johnny, but I think I'm slowly becoming a Spike. My deck in the PCL is a testament to that, I guess.
It's a little hard to Johnny it up in the PCL because it's hard to get multiple copies of specific cards, particularly rares. In many ways it's a limited format, and limited is in many ways a Spike or Spike/Timmy format.
I am very sorry to hear about your friend.

I find myself feeling a bit odd this morning. Maybe something to the effect of hypertension from lack of sleep. I'm just very jumpy and can't think straight. It may have something to do with the loss of my friend recently; I'm not sure. I feel as though I need to write more about him to get this miasma of thoughts out of my head and into some kind of organized form. I'll most likely have time to do that sometime later today.
@MP3 players: Mine holds ~30 songs. It does feature AM/FM radio, as well as voice and line-in recording though. I love it for its extra features more than the music I listen to on it.

And no one commented on my poem. I feel dejected. Oh well. News is up, so here's the other one.
To join the fight 'gainst dark and night
I pledge to rout evil and scum
Beside the rangers and the light
Unjust will fall to sword and shield
And through my arm the eye will all
For in my fight I shall ne'er yield
And through my acts comes peace to all
Should Death come for me through this oath
For curse and pain are dearest friends
Then let him hail, for this my troth,
If this brings safety at its end
This Oath to Justice I do pledge
Bound in my blood, by my sword's edge.
A bit of it is actually context based for the RP he's in, but heck. It works.

Other than that, I was told I've have a bit of yard work to do today. After that, I'll continue playing some FFT. I'll get to playing Tales of Symphonia sometime soon....I hope.
@Mamelon: Ouch. Another reason not to like tax season. I did mine last month through e-file with my step-mother and it was pretty easy, so if you have all your information, that might be a better solution.
See ya later everyone!

I figured I was typing it wrong, thanks for the correction.
Everyone has psychiatric problems, it is just some are more proniunced and difficult to live with and some are more socially acceptable. There is no shame it.
I really like this poem alot
This one is very strong. I can tell from reading it you have a love for words. I think this would go over alot of peoples heads though.
I love words myself, the way the fit together and mold each other. Words are like a hammer and chisel while ideas and emotion are cold stone.
That sounds really promising. I would say for this to happen so soon after her finding out how you feel is not likely a coincidence. It is obviously related somehow. While it may not be a romantic thing, it is obvious she has realized just how crucial to her happiness you are.
Thank you for sharing Kevie.
It is a pretty poem. Very simple and fresh, which fits the subject well and gives it a good feeling.
I like the first one alot, but the second one does nothing for me at all. Though concidering it was written in 7th grade it is very good.
Second opinions are always a good idea. Even the best doctors can miss the simplist issues. I have known alot of people who sepnt years with a condition with the doctors baffled. As for the ambivelent doctor...sometimes that is a good thing. A doctor who gets too emotionally attach to patients and issues can make wrong choices due to a bias.
Very quick worded. I like this poem. The way the words jump at you is very effective.
Very well done. My only complaint is the second half of the poem. It reads like the words and structure came easily for the first half of the poem but you had to struggle for the second half.
I like this one alot too. Good work.
Sorry for the last post being so spammy...but I was pretty badly wasted. I started to quote posts to respond too but that was going nowhere so I just posted a quick hello.
Saturday night I met up with one of my best friends, Doug. We were playing together in a Vintage 2hg tournie the next day and we needed to finish our decks. When we were almost done, Jen expressed an intrest in going to get something to eat and we agreed. On the van ride there Doug was refering to me as "he" and as "Scott". I generally let this slide because I understand this is hard on everyone. Sometimes I gently remind them I am a girl and of my name, and it usually goes well. This time Doug turns to me and says "I cannot see you as a girl until you get the surgery you need to complete that. Until then technically you are a boy." I tried to explain to him the difference between gender and sex and he started fighting with me. I snapped. I demanded he stop the van and let me out, instead he sped up to the restaurant while I kept yelling to get out.
When we finally got there I turned and walked all the way home. I felt very paranoid...like people were watching and following me. It is not a feeling I have had in a long time. All I could thing is "I need to see Jay" (LunaSlave). I didn't want to be home when Jen and Doug showed up.
When I got home I jumped on the computer and PM'd Jay over MSN...he was AFK so it took a while for the response. I had enough time to play a game of Magic and vent a bit. By this time Doug and Jen came back. Doug came to talk to me...I had no idea what to say to him. He startes going on how it isn't easy to remember my name and the right pronouns...I tried to explain I wasn't upset at that and understood it. It was his ignorant idea of gender that upset me and how adamant he was about it. I tried again to explain the difference and he said it wasn't true. He left.
I finally got Jay online and I told him I needed to buy him some beer. He agreed to meet me. On the way out the door I had a small fight with Jen. She told me I was being selfish and inconciderate of others. I explained I understand it is hard for everyone to adjust and get used to. I told her I rarely ever correct people calling me Scott or Him, and when I do it I am gentle about it. I do not force my problems on everyone at all, I do not even talk about it generally and just try to live my life normally. I only took offense at what Doug had said.
She said I was still selfish. I explained to her what in my mind it is like to be me and feel like I do. How I had spent my whole life being what others wanted to be easier for them, to try and make things that much easier on my friends now would not help me at all and leave me where I was. I asked her to imagine what it would be like to took up in the morning and have male parts, to have people comment when she doesn't dress in men's clothes, to have people start conversations with her talking and asking about things she has no intrest in. I explained how it isn't a choice, which her and Doug seemed to think. I explained how when I imagine myself making love to someone I see and feel myself as a woman. She seemed to understand a bit better but asked me to leave.
I was crying and shaking by this point.
Normally when I meet Jay to go to the bar, I just go to the bar and wait. This time I found myself walking to his place to meet him on the way. I really needed to see him.
We met and I was still kinda broken but feeling better having him there. The paranoia lessened somewhat. I felt safe.
We went to the Bohemian, he said some friends might be meeting us later. When we got there, some guy hit on me. It was great. He was a gay older guy. Not my type at all, but I really needed that boost. Later in the night he whispered in Jay's ear that he really had the hots for me. I orderred us a pitcher and we sat and talked. I explained my night...though found talking very hard. Mostly we just sat.
After a while Jay's friends showed up. Ang (Lesbian), Pam (Lesbian, Anges ex), Mike (I think that was his name, Gay). Really nice people. We went and got a table together. Jay told Ang about me and Ang told the rest of the group and everyone was fine. Neither myself nor Pam smoked so when the others went out for a smoke we stayed behind and started talking. She is very smart and witty and absolutely gorgeous. She tells me Ang told her, and after chatting for a bit we move closer together and we kind of zone out most of everyone else. Pam tells me that she really does see me as a woman and that I have a very beautiful and feminine look and vibe. I almost cried. I asked her outside to talk away from the music for a bit and we chatted outside. There was definately a serious chemistry between us and we exchanged numbers. She text messaged me after we left the bar to make sure I was ok.
I am going to try and meet up with her tonite after work if I can get in touch with her. She really is an amazing girl, and she made me feel very special.
On a side note; While at the bar I used the women's washroom. The first time I didn't realize until I had already walked into it without any thought. It was empowering.
I finished our decks the next morning and Doug and I won the tournament. I will post the decks and a tournie analysis tomorrow.
Ouch. Call your employer. Get yer W2. Contact the IRS. Chew out yer mom.
Because sometimes I'm working somewhere or something and I wanna hear everything by Weird Al all at once.
I love my new iPod, but I shall always miss my old one.
Seconded.
Sakura, and all of that: I'm really sorry you had a bad time, but you should be grateful you have so much support, both here and offline.
Speaking of which, I ask that you all extend a prayer to Lilly; she's having a lot of trouble overcoming her fears.

I am very grateful for the support I have, especially from the people here.
Sorry my last post was so long...I had alot to say and wanted to repsond to alot of things said.
Another random poem before I run off to work:
Worlds apart yet
Same faces see
Each other shares
The same prodigy.
Time will tell
The truth belies
A heart's attachment
Will shrivel and die.
Dedicated to the loss of my old iPod, and the purchase of my new one (I try to keep my poetry current ^_^)

round 1: Against UW fish
Game 1: The fish player just pulverized me with quick beats like a couple of silver knights and isamaru of konda. He also had a sword of fire and ice out and a jitte. I had to mulligan down to 5 cards though in this game and i didnt draw any of my deeds quick enough so it was a quick gg for me.
Game 2: This time i was the one that was doing all of the damage. I drew all of my discard and used hymn, duress, and cabal therapy to rip his hand apart. I was able to play a couple of necravolvers and swing for the win.
Game 3: This game was a game that could've went either way. I ended up removing all of his threats via stp, deed, and diabolic edict. I couldn't draw anymore removal for a few more turns though so he ended up playing a sword of fire and ice and a serra avenger equipped on it to end the game. I didn't draw any of my discard at all in game 3 so that didn't help at all lol.

Round 2: I got a bye in round 2. I was disappointed though because i really want to play in this round but oh well.

Round 3: I was playing against countersliver
game 1: This game i had to mulligan down to 5 cards so that didn't help at all. He ended up playing a crystalline sliver then 2 muscle slivers and had plenty of countermagic to back up his creatures. I was dead in like 5 minutes of action lol.
game 2: This game was just like the first game except i was able to draw a deed then play it. The deed resolved and i activated the deed to blow up all of his slivers and i was down to like 7 life by turn 4. I was able to come back though and win with necravolvers and river boas.
Game 3: This time he had really bad draws and couldnt draw a land until 3 or 4 turns later. He played a pithing needle during the first turn though and named pernicious deed with it. I kept applying pressure which ended the game quickly otherwise if he had as much lands as i did it probably could've went either way.

Round 4: I played against mono white angel stompy.
Game 1: He was able to play most of this threats i removed them of course with deed, stp, and more. I was also able to rip his hand apart with a couple of hymn to tourachs. He was able to win though by casting cataclysm after he has a exalted angel with a sword of fire and ice on it.
Game 2: I dropped a scrubland and duressed his hand i got his armageddon. Then i extirpated his geddon to rid myself of all of his armageddons. He continue to play savannah loins, and other beats as well and kept me on a relatively fast clock. I was able to deed, stp, and edict all of his threats though. He had a jitte out a couple of turns later and then put a silver knight on it i finally get a threat on the table but it wasn't enough to stop his jitte and silver knight. He ended up winning again of course.

Round 5: I played against another UW fish with pride of the clouds.
Game 1: I was able to hymn and duress him like crazy. For a few turns he played some big threats like serra avenger and exalted angel i ended up removing them though. I played a couple of necravolvers and ended the game somewhat soon after.
Game 2: He plays pithing needle and names deed. He also has stifle and countermagic in his hand for backup. He ends up playing worship and keeps on applying pressure to me with creatures and kept on forecasting pride of the clouds. I get rid of his non-token threats of course and was able to get out a couple of necravolvers out in the mean time. Luckily i stopped his meddling mage with a stp when he named necravolver with it. With a couple of aether vials out he was able to pump out more threats and was able to get his pride of the clouds to be pretty big and swinged for 15 so i was at 17 life from 32. I was gaining a bunch of life from the necravolvers. I managed to draw a vindicate though and at the last second i was able to destroy his pithing needle and end the game right there with a deed. Then attacking a couple of times with a threshold nantuko monastery.

Round 6: I was playing against angel stompy again.
Game 1: i was able to rip his hand apart with a couple of hymns and duress ridding of his jittes and sword of fire and ice. He was able to play a couple of threats with additional of exalted angels. I was able to recover from his threats by destroying all of his threats with deed, swords to plowshares, and vindicates. Then i applied constant and a steady clock on him with river boas, and necravolvers to win the game.
Game 2: It was pretty much the same as the first game except i didnt draw any of my discard. I also had to mulligan down to 6 cards. He ends up winning with stonecloakers, aether vials, mangara with karakas.
Game 3: this time i was able to remove most of his threats but it wasnt enough he had a mangara out combined with karakas and he kept on removing every threat i have in the deck. I didnt draw one vindicate for the entire game unfortunetly to get rid of his karakas. He ends up winning with a jotun grunt in play and by the time i could get rid of his grunt it was too late for me.

Overall i was pretty happy with the deck and had alot of fun. I mean i was one win short of almost making top 8 which is a big plus for this deck. I am 20th place out of 57 players which is pretty good considering i havent went to a legacy tournament for a little more then a year.
Props:
The coffeehouse I would like to thank everyone in here for giving me alot of confidence to do well in the tournament.
Team funk for coming up with this brilliant funkbrew deck for the legacy format.
Jake who is known as Devastater here on mtgs and is also known as the rack on the source. Everybody should pay some respect to Jake considering he was the original builder of funkbrew. Although im going to suggest it as a potential deck for legacy even though i am not a article writer on starcity games.
Cons:
I didnt have any cons.
Well i hope all of you enjoyed the report. See you all soon! *hugs and blows kisses*

I just finished the first piece of my star wars Fan Fiction. I found a site that has a very large community for it to post it on. The link is here, you can post comments on it here, or pm me. If anything I'd at least like to know if you read it.
EDIT: Yay, the first person who complimented me was a big name on the site :D.
Cecelia: I think you did very well for that tournement ;). I know I'd probably go 0-6 >.<
@Poetry: I write a lot but never really poetry, I don't think I make a good poet. However I am rather proud of my SSC VI entry so read that if you want to know what kind of style I have.
I picked up Lunar Knights today and so far 15 minutes in the game is awesome. A must buy for all DS owners. My spring break starts next week, as does Passover and college season for me. Passover I like, college season, not so much.
For the rest of you who have been worried about me, do not any more as I am fine.

Unless I'm mistaken, the funeral service was today, and they are having what the obit lists as "a celebration of his life" tomorrow at 7:30pm. The only problem with that, for me, is that the service is being held where he lived in Cleveland, not where he went to school in Dayton. Instead of a 2.5 hour drive, that's a better than 5 hour drive, one way. If I left after work and went straight there, I *might* get there just in time. I'd stay there for a few hours, probably, leaving around 9:00 or 9:30, which puts me returning home at 2:30am in the morning. Not good prospects. I'm debating right now whether I should go or not. I would like to say goodbye one last time... but obviously, he won't be there, just his friends and family, most of whom I don't know.
