Bad mojo Daron.....which moxes did you kill? Yes Rian....that would be the best cd probably of all time in the history af great music. Not a huge fan of that sohg though.....I like it don't get me wrong....but others on there are so much better. What a band, eh? They are said to be reuniting this summer for a tour....they need to get someone who can handle Layne's range, and do it well!!.....man I miss that band!

Hellooooo. hot damn... I've been gone since like, forever. I come back and RE is getting sued, Bel got fired, I [and about half the clan it seems] got booted from the clan (something that never actually happened all the times I tried to get kicked out), we've picked up a whole bunch of new members, and the forums on news I used to mod now only have 1 active thread! Fortunately, at least we've still got out Nipples!
as a side note, the stuff in this spoiler is rather personal, so I'd prefer it if you non-called DON'T read it, and those of you who read it anyways, please don't go repeating this all over the place.
In case you were wondering where I've been, I didn't actually run out on you guys. I've spent since November as a guest at one of the fine hospitals in downtown Seattle. As near as they could tell, I had a severe concussion resulting in three month coma, and a near-complete caser of amnesia. I remember what caused the coma, and the cops who found me bleeding from the head don't know either.
My personal life is kindof the ****s right now, as the coma led to me getting evicted for not paying rent, academically expelled from college for not attending class, dumped by my GF for not giving her any hot action, and fired for not showing up at work... Basically I'm a no-job homless college washout at the moment. A real headcase if there ever was one :p.
Fortunately there seems to be only minimal permanent brain damage, mostly affecting my "horny" and "want to be drunk" sections of the brain, which are now locked into overdrive. The good news is that I have somewhere semi-permanent I can move into soon, and my old boss has agreed to hire me back, as soon as the doctors say it's ok for me to return to work.
Needless to say, the real way to solve all these problems is to go find some free porn website, and my best friend... Jack Daniels.
Daggs: I'd give it till the last day then head home. Obviously you want a job in japan if you can get it, but overseas with no job and no money sounds even worse than my position. At least I've still got buddies I can freeload off of until I get my **** back togeather. I don't know the full scenario obviously, (when I left you were trying to get grant money to keep researching ants) but would it be possible to get a job in the same field as what you want over in the states? If you're working in the right field, at least that's a start, even if it's in the wrong location.
I was told today that this kid on my team called 911 twice this morning and hung up both times. They called back and his dad answered. The reason the kid called 911? He got an erection and didn't know what to do. I wish I was making this up.
Holy Crap Travis.....that is some crazy-NESS! I'm sorry for you and I hope that things come back together for you very soon. I do agree that free porn is a great way to spend the day but the Jack.....I understand though. Wow...no recollection of the happenings leading up to it? At least you remember us and I think you are welcome to post here anytime you like.
WOW...that is really crazy.....I'm still processing all this.....I'll be back.........

I am either going to trade my Hyppie or send it to live with James in Seattle. Trade me your Karakas!!!!!!!
Oh Dang Daron, that sucks. I hate it when stuff gets ruined cause you accidently spill stuff. I never lost cards that way, but I did have a little incident with my camping gear and bleach once....who new it could eat a hole through a backpack like that.....
Ria, my heart says go for it....but then this is the same heart that wanted to take a shortcut around a peninsula with a rising tide...on a blistering hot tropical summer day and only 1.5 liters of water. Stupid heart...*stab* Its an iffy decision and there is no reason for it. I am trying to do something smart, not nessisarily what I want. I already have two interviews for next week. Hopefully more on their way.

Wow, your lucky to be alive. Whatever happened it must have been real bad. I mean wow. That sucks that you lost everything like that. But with stuff like that it could have been worse. I mean you could be dead or in a coma for years. I know thats no comfort...but still. Being alive is a good step. Its great that your boss is willing to rehire you, thats a good step. Good luck and keep us posted. I have no problem with you posting regularly here again and actualy have no recolection of you being removed.
Didja have any coma visions. out of body experiences...anything supernatural? weird dreams? Do you remember lying on a cold work table, maybe seeing oblong grey faces with big eyes?

sadly nope. But I'm making up for it now. I've got pills out the yin-yang, and they're giving me all sorts of wierd dreams. Like yesterday I had this really wierd one: I dreamed that I was Japan. Not japanese... I was the country of japan. I was feeling very upset about being born a country, because I couldn't figure out how to have sex. I really can't describe how the dream ended... but I think I had a three way with russia and Sara Burke. Whatever it was, I enjoyed it.
I was told today that this kid on my team called 911 twice this morning and hung up both times. They called back and his dad answered. The reason the kid called 911? He got an erection and didn't know what to do. I wish I was making this up.

They always seem to be there for you huh? That's a horrible story man; I hope everything gets better for you. And they keep prescribing those pills! heh..
Daron - Sadly, had they been newer cards I imagine they would be okay. I've had beer spilt on my cards several times. But they were T2 decks and I quickly took anything that had been affected out of their sleeves and fanned them under a running faucet. Then I dried them off and laid something heavy on top of them while they finished drying to keep them from warping. At first they begin the wrinkle on the edges and I thought they were done for. But they turned out fine, you'd never know. It was a Jitte, a foil STE and some other stuff. Also, back in the mid-late 90's I had a deck I kept in my car. It was mostly older cards, Revised I think. This was before I knew about sleeves and I simply kept the deck wrapped in ponytail holders. Well, after they'd been in my back seat for about a year I took them out and they were all stuck together. Apparently some moisture got to them. At least you can still sale them for something, but I'd make sure there is no hope of them returning to normal before I let them go. ..Maybe BD's dog is hungry(his avatar). LOL
I like Carcass Pitch; it seems balanced and defiantly useful. Kind of the opposite of Smother. I imagine you'd see it in decks with sac effects (STE) and cip abilities (Eternal Witness).
Have a good weekend Called!

Are you a pilot or a creator??
Hey Chris, Aurelia suggests that you might find part-time work in a touristy hotel, where speaking English would be useful. It's always easier to find work when you have it, I think. Also, you smell less desperate
Either way, you've had a great time, right? So whichever you choose, it's been fantastic, yeh?
Well I could do that...I saw an add for a "casino" which confuses me since gambling is against the law here. Part time work would be nice...I have actualy started looking for part time work in addition to full time. The problem is that for teaching english, part time work and full time both demand at least a full year contract. Thats why I was hessitant to get that first job that was offered to me a month ago. I mean a little job on the side is one thing, a full year commitment is quite another.
I do admit to having a blast on this trip. At least untill about a month or two where my money ran dry and I did nothing but hold up in my room looking up jobs, webcomics, and research papers only leaving for the occasional job interview or a beer run. Those were not bad experiences, but it is sad to have an entire month in Japan completely forgotten because I had no experiences good or bad to fill it.
I have to admit that it has been fantastic.....I should dig up some pictures...I have access to it now.

You just hang out here to tag your banners ;_;
. . . fragrents? that means to fragrent
In related 'choppery news, I finally posted some garbage that has been floating in my head for a while now over @MT. I think they are mildly amusing if nothing else
huh. For some reason it is deemed desireable that, should you post your subject in ALLCAPZ the software will auto-uncapz it for you
Lots of activity with so much substance its hard to reply. Daggertooth, I would suggest waiting until the last day you can to decide whether to stay or go. R_E, That is an awesome card. I would use it for sure! Its nice to see you posting again. I finally cleaned my house and went grocery shopping today. Now its beer time. Tonight at midnight is the big all common deck tourny challenge, wish me luck. I'll probably post again and let you all know how bad I lost. Until then, take care.
Well, at the risk of a double post warning... I'd like to show all of you why I'm tired of MTG and, for that matter, Wizards in general. I was banned from MTGO for "Spamming." This is most of the conversation, after I'd logged into a friend's account (keep in mind the times things were written and the intervals between):
5:38 Adept_Vision: Sorry but we cannot discuss the actions we take with other users, only those who are involved. Thanks for understanding. 5:38 DarkJester666: But I am involved... 5:38 Adept_Vision: This isn't the account involved 5:39 DarkJester666: Well, its not like I can log in and talk about it, can I? 5:39 Adept_Vision: That is why you have to use the email 5:39 DarkJester666: You can obviously see the events that occured... so what happened? And I did call, and I did email. 5:40 DarkJester666: I would like live help. 5:40 DarkJester666: This is the closet I have. 5:40 DarkJester666: *closetst. 5:40 Adept_Vision: I am sorry I am unable to provide the help you are requesting 5:40 DarkJester666: You can't scroll the chat box at all? 5:46 DarkJester666: Well... 5:46 Adept_Vision: I'm sorry, no I can't discuss it wirh you 5:47 DarkJester666: That's a cop-out. You know darn well you can see that I did nothing wrong. 5:47 DarkJester666: I'm trying to solve this correctly. 5:48 DarkJester666: But two business days on a Friday? Not fair, sir. 5:48 Adept_Vision: You will have to wait for the email to be replied too... That is the only way 5:48 DarkJester666: How hard is it for you to look at the chat log and just give me an answer? 5:48 DarkJester666: I AM Parabol. 5:49 Adept_Vision: I can't discuss that sort of thing, except to the account in question 5:51 DarkJester666: Yeah... so I can wait 24 hours and bring it up again... then another ban ensues. Nice. 5:52 DarkJester666: This isn't fair. C'mon, man. You are a player too... just look at the chat log and give me an answer. 5:52 DarkJester666: Screw the Adept thing... I won't tell. 5:53 Adept_Vision: I am sorry, I am unable to do that 5:53 DarkJester666: Why? You know you can scroll the chat box up. 5:53 DarkJester666: You're a witness. 6:00 DarkJester666: Well, I guess it was about the non-Wizards URL... which is highly unfair. You warnded me and another Adept bans me? That's cruel and unfair. I have sent a reply email addresing this. 6:03 DarkJester666: Honestly... you have to realize how unfair that is. 6:08 DarkJester666: By the way, Musprime is now logged out. Nice evasive action. 6:08 Adept_Vision: If you were pleased, (or not pleased) with an adept, please visit http://wizards.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wizards.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=434 . Copy the form then click "E-mail Us". (You'll need to create an account if you haven't already). Select the Topics "Game/Product Question", "Magic: The Gathering Online", "Magic Conduct/Community". Paste and finish the form that you copied. 6:09 DarkJester666: I've done that. I'm just wondering why two Adepts have taken tewo measures. 6:10 DarkJester666: He's done this before, you know. 6:11 Adept_Vision: If you sent in a complaint, then I am sure Wizards has a record of it 6:12 DarkJester666: I didn't then. I did talk to Adept Gnome about it though. 6:13 DarkJester666: Look, the non-Wizards URL was a mistake from non-game IMs. You warned me, I told you why and appologized. Another Apeot (Musprime) bans me... What the heck!!! 6:14 Adept_Vision: I am sure wizards will explain when they reply back to you... I can't discuss it 6:14 DarkJester666: You should... as a fellow gamer you should see how unfair this is. 6:17 DarkJester666: So, what I'm asking is you go ahead and send an email saying that you warned me... and I shouldn't have been banned by another Adept. Am I right? 6:19 Adept_Vision: I don't understand that statenent, and I honestly can't discuss the actions taken 6:19 Adept_Vision: Sorry 6:19 DarkJester666: You warned me... and another Adept (Musprime) bans me??? 6:19 DarkJester666: At least back me up, man. 6:23 DarkJester666: Do't feed me any "macros" talk to me as a player... 6:24 DarkJester666: How unfair is this? And I can't do anything about it, can I? 6:24 DarkJester666: Not immediatly anyway. 6:24 Adept_Vision: Only wait for the email I'm afraid 6:24 DarkJester666: Yeah... I'm sure thay care. 6:25 Adept_Vision: There isn't anything you (or I) can do other then that 6:25 DarkJester666: One person doesn't matter. 6:25 DarkJester666: Also... banning me for seven (7) days??? 6:26 DarkJester666: Cripes, man! What the heck!!! 6:26 DarkJester666: You know just as well as I do this is BS. 6:27 Adept_Vision: I can understand your frustration, and I am sorry...but there is really nothing I can do 6:28 DarkJester666: Yeah... I'll bet you can't talk to anyone about this. Good ol' Musprime gets to ban me anytime he sees me and I'm screwed because of "red tape." 6:31 DarkJester666: I understand you're inabilty to lift the ban... but at least back me up. You did warn me about the (mistaken) altercation, correct? 6:33 Adept_Vision: I can't discuss my actions except to that account 6:34 DarkJester666: Oh of course not... give me no recourse... how nice and fair. 6:34 DarkJester666: You know dam well what happened, but do NOTHING to help?
Ugh, like talking to a robot. So, that's that. I'm tired of Wizards, tired of companies that care not about the consumer, but about the money the product generates.
F--- You Wizards!!!
Sorry for the long post (doubled even), but I've had it. Also, I changed my font. Do you like it?
Edit: Wizards' "super cool" (sarcastic) email folks looked it up and showed me the same f---ing thing I posted here saying they will now have to ban me for seven (7) days because of my actions concerning the matter!!! Also, a bad link to discuss it further was given!
MTGO is so half+half. People dropping when they're losing, Adept schenanigans, cardpool $$ weirdness. . . I am rather glad there is no Mac port so I am not even tempted.
I quit. I'm going back to paper cards. Also, you're probably one of the few MT folks I like. Edit: Those are groovy. Its a toss-up between you and Alex for designing my banner!
Brian, I had another good laugh - at my own expense again! Why, I'll get you my pretties... I'll get you allllllll! *cackle*
What a world, what a world.
Travis, dude... wtf? That story is almost so incredible it's unbelievable. But of course, why would you lie? That's insane. I'm really sorry about what you've gone through. Didn't anyone let your work know? I guess they were too busy being worried about you. Man, that's hardcore. I assume you meant to say you DON'T remember what caused it? Where were you, and what were you doing? Were you at the bottom of a steep cliff, with rock climbing gear on? Or were you in a garbage bin in Chinatown with a copy of "Got Rice?" tucked under one arm? Man, I'm shocked. That makes quite the story, though. "I went into a coma so my clan kicked me out." Yipes!
Well, it's bathtime for the boys. I'll be around later though.
Edit: Those are groovy. Its a toss-up between you and Alex for designing my banner!
Oh, I'd entirely defer to Alex on the banner tip. Don't want to step on any toes
I'm mostly an avatar+random 'chops sorta guy, but maybe we could do a banner throw-down shop-off
eds4r_e: got to get something out of WotC getting savage on you. I'm glad you laughed, I had hoped you would. I can't get the thing off my chest much any other way.
There's a few spots that are... eh... lacking... but my PC crashed before I could finish them... so boo!
EDIT - I too prefer the first one Nick. Bristol's art really does look like it could fit on a Magic card. However, Britol's and Pant's pieces are only like 2 votes apart, and the poll is still open, so I played it safe.
Zig: It's understandable to get frustrated at Adepts..they have very, very little power and authority, honestly. They can't do much at all..and what you were asking him wasn't exactly appropriate..badgering an Adept like that is more likely to get you banned than anything else. Anyway, I hope it works out okay and they overturn it..banning someone is a big deal, even on MTGO.
I like the first token alot better..I'm not really into cartoony stuff.

posting as ziggys soon to be girlfreind i hope he better understand what you said. cause if he doesnt... oh im gonna be mad. why quit something you love over a small battle? makes no sense to me
I asked why men had an obsession with nipples, this is what someone came up with.
If a child is breast fed it's one of the first things the child really enjoyed that was denied them during the weaning process. I think that takes on exxagerated importance over time and becomes associated with the image which in their subconscious they attribute to pleasure in general. As they get older; puberty, then there is the nudity in general they have to add to their "denied" pleasures. All that gets wrapped together into one memory. Being denied the pleasure and security of something they have practically forgotten consciously but in the subconscious is still alive and well and the feeling just builds. We all want the unattainable.
I think this was suprisingly well thought out. It makes alot of sense.
Sorry, everyone else was doing spoilers. I felt left out. Laters.
Just got home from the film festible. It was great seeing my old teacher again as well as a few old friends. I wasn't sure how much i'd see of Chelsea but I ended up seeing her lots. It was slightly awkward seeing her at first but that faded pretty quick. When the show started I went and sat by myself, but then her mom called me over to sit between her and Chelsea. The films were standard. Violence and drugs resolving in an identity or memory complex. Your usual student film crap. Chelsea's film was about two sisters (16, and 5) who were really nice to eachother; then Chelsea's character dies in a car accident. There were some sybolic shots like a dining table in a shallow river, ect. Chelsea's ghost then told the little girl that she'll always love her. The little girl said that she didn't want her to go. It was interesting. Like I said, pretty standard stuff. Her films are full of emotion. Anyways, after the movies I talked with a few more old friends and then got a ride home with Chelsea. On the ride home her mom invited me over to watch a movie on their HDTV. I was sort of surprised considering the last time we talked she said to sort of move on and then in maybe like next fall see where we are. Anyways, looks like I have my best friend back. *happy*
Peuf! Now that that's done
I also finished my new script, but my computer doens't have microsoft word on it at the moment so I can't access it. Stupid reformatting....
Man Kido, I feel for you. That's a pretty heavy series of events. If you figure out any way I can help you out lemme know. I'm poor myself so I can't send you any money; but hell if you ever are in British Columbia and need a place to stay for the night, lemme know
I think it's time for a little warcraft; then some script writting. Maybe some sleep too!
@Ziggy Piggy's "soon to be gf"...I am a bit knewer to the caln, so I may be a bit off. I don't think that there's a rule against other people posting as long as they keep it intelligeble, and sporadic, also adding to the conversation. While your post does state your opinion, it is borderline spammy, and is walking the line of being against clan rules. I apologize if my post is taken out of context, or if I am totally wrong, but give me a break...I'm operating on 3 hour's sleep here.
Well, some sort of formal introduction aside from "I AM HIJACKING ZIG'S ACCOUNT LOLZ" would have been nice - but who among us is going to say "Girl, don't post!"

I'll probably post again and let you all know how bad I lost.
Until then, take care.
5:38 Adept_Vision: Sorry but we cannot discuss the actions we take with other users,
only those who are involved. Thanks for understanding.
5:38 DarkJester666: But I am involved...
5:38 Adept_Vision: This isn't the account involved
5:39 DarkJester666: Well, its not like I can log in and talk about it, can I?
5:39 Adept_Vision: That is why you have to use the email
5:39 DarkJester666: You can obviously see the events that occured... so what
happened? And I did call, and I did email.
5:40 DarkJester666: I would like live help.
5:40 DarkJester666: This is the closet I have.
5:40 DarkJester666: *closetst.
5:40 Adept_Vision: I am sorry I am unable to provide the help you are requesting
5:40 DarkJester666: You can't scroll the chat box at all?
5:46 DarkJester666: Well...
5:46 Adept_Vision: I'm sorry, no I can't discuss it wirh you
5:47 DarkJester666: That's a cop-out. You know darn well you can see that I did
nothing wrong.
5:47 DarkJester666: I'm trying to solve this correctly.
5:48 DarkJester666: But two business days on a Friday? Not fair, sir.
5:48 Adept_Vision: You will have to wait for the email to be replied too... That is the
only way
5:48 DarkJester666: How hard is it for you to look at the chat log and just give me an
answer?
5:48 DarkJester666: I AM Parabol.
5:49 Adept_Vision: I can't discuss that sort of thing, except to the account in question
5:51 DarkJester666: Yeah... so I can wait 24 hours and bring it up again... then another
ban ensues. Nice.
5:52 DarkJester666: This isn't fair. C'mon, man. You are a player too... just look at the
chat log and give me an answer.
5:52 DarkJester666: Screw the Adept thing... I won't tell.
5:53 Adept_Vision: I am sorry, I am unable to do that
5:53 DarkJester666: Why? You know you can scroll the chat box up.
5:53 DarkJester666: You're a witness.
6:00 DarkJester666: Well, I guess it was about the non-Wizards URL... which is highly
unfair. You warnded me and another Adept bans me? That's cruel and unfair. I have
sent a reply email addresing this.
6:03 DarkJester666: Honestly... you have to realize how unfair that is.
6:08 DarkJester666: By the way, Musprime is now logged out. Nice evasive action.
6:08 Adept_Vision: If you were pleased, (or not pleased) with an adept, please visit

6:09 DarkJester666: I've done that. I'm just wondering why two Adepts have taken
tewo measures.
6:10 DarkJester666: He's done this before, you know.
6:11 Adept_Vision: If you sent in a complaint, then I am sure Wizards has a record of it
6:12 DarkJester666: I didn't then. I did talk to Adept Gnome about it though.
6:13 DarkJester666: Look, the non-Wizards URL was a mistake from non-game IMs.
You warned me, I told you why and appologized. Another Apeot (Musprime) bans me...
What the heck!!!
6:14 Adept_Vision: I am sure wizards will explain when they reply back to you... I can't
discuss it
6:14 DarkJester666: You should... as a fellow gamer you should see how unfair this is.
6:17 DarkJester666: So, what I'm asking is you go ahead and send an email saying
that you warned me... and I shouldn't have been banned by another Adept. Am I right?
6:19 Adept_Vision: I don't understand that statenent, and I honestly can't discuss the
actions taken
6:19 Adept_Vision: Sorry
6:19 DarkJester666: You warned me... and another Adept (Musprime) bans me???
6:19 DarkJester666: At least back me up, man.
6:23 DarkJester666: Do't feed me any "macros" talk to me as a player...
6:24 DarkJester666: How unfair is this? And I can't do anything about it, can I?
6:24 DarkJester666: Not immediatly anyway.
6:24 Adept_Vision: Only wait for the email I'm afraid
6:24 DarkJester666: Yeah... I'm sure thay care.
6:25 Adept_Vision: There isn't anything you (or I) can do other then that
6:25 DarkJester666: One person doesn't matter.
6:25 DarkJester666: Also... banning me for seven (7) days???
6:26 DarkJester666: Cripes, man! What the heck!!!
6:26 DarkJester666: You know just as well as I do this is BS.
6:27 Adept_Vision: I can understand your frustration, and I am sorry...but there is really
nothing I can do
6:28 DarkJester666: Yeah... I'll bet you can't talk to anyone about this. Good ol'
Musprime gets to ban me anytime he sees me and I'm screwed because of "red tape."
6:31 DarkJester666: I understand you're inabilty to lift the ban... but at least back me
up. You did warn me about the (mistaken) altercation, correct?
6:33 Adept_Vision: I can't discuss my actions except to that account
6:34 DarkJester666: Oh of course not... give me no recourse... how nice and fair.
6:34 DarkJester666: You know dam well what happened, but do NOTHING to help?
Ugh, like talking to a robot. So, that's that. I'm tired of Wizards, tired of companies that care not about the consumer, but about the money the product generates.
F--- You Wizards!!!
Sorry for the long post (doubled even), but I've had it. Also, I changed my font. Do you like it?
Edit: Wizards' "super cool" (sarcastic) email folks looked it up and showed me the same f---ing thing I posted here saying they will now have to ban me for seven (7) days because of my actions concerning the matter!!! Also, a bad link to discuss it further was given!
Go look at my chop + laugh it off, dude.
Also, you're probably one of the few MT folks I like.
Edit: Those are groovy. Its a toss-up between you and Alex for designing my banner!
What a world, what a world.
.
Oh, I'd entirely defer to Alex on the banner tip. Don't want to step on any toes
I'm mostly an avatar+random 'chops sorta guy, but maybe we could do a banner throw-down shop-off
eds4r_e: got to get something out of WotC getting savage on you. I'm glad you laughed, I had hoped you would. I can't get the thing off my chest much any other way.
Oh yeah Brian I definitely enjoyed. I particularly thought it funny that the sticker was glued to an Absorb.
* rancored_elf is wondering if Travis is going to click on the spoiler above, meant for him... even though he's not a Called member *
.
There's a few spots that are... eh... lacking... but my PC crashed before I could finish them... so boo!
EDIT - I too prefer the first one Nick. Bristol's art really does look like it could fit on a Magic card. However, Britol's and Pant's pieces are only like 2 votes apart, and the poll is still open, so I played it safe.

Zig: It's understandable to get frustrated at Adepts..they have very, very little power and authority, honestly. They can't do much at all..and what you were asking him wasn't exactly appropriate..badgering an Adept like that is more likely to get you banned than anything else. Anyway, I hope it works out okay and they overturn it..banning someone is a big deal, even on MTGO.
I like the first token alot better..I'm not really into cartoony stuff.
posting as ziggys soon to be girlfreind i hope he better understand what you said. cause if he doesnt... oh im gonna be mad. why quit something you love over a small battle? makes no sense to me
he said something about cookies. im sorry.

Warning, Chelsea babble
Just got home from the film festible. It was great seeing my old teacher again as well as a few old friends. I wasn't sure how much i'd see of Chelsea but I ended up seeing her lots. It was slightly awkward seeing her at first but that faded pretty quick. When the show started I went and sat by myself, but then her mom called me over to sit between her and Chelsea. The films were standard. Violence and drugs resolving in an identity or memory complex. Your usual student film crap. Chelsea's film was about two sisters (16, and 5) who were really nice to eachother; then Chelsea's character dies in a car accident. There were some sybolic shots like a dining table in a shallow river, ect. Chelsea's ghost then told the little girl that she'll always love her. The little girl said that she didn't want her to go. It was interesting. Like I said, pretty standard stuff. Her films are full of emotion. Anyways, after the movies I talked with a few more old friends and then got a ride home with Chelsea. On the ride home her mom invited me over to watch a movie on their HDTV. I was sort of surprised considering the last time we talked she said to sort of move on and then in maybe like next fall see where we are. Anyways, looks like I have my best friend back. *happy*
I also finished my new script, but my computer doens't have microsoft word on it at the moment so I can't access it. Stupid reformatting....
Man Kido, I feel for you. That's a pretty heavy series of events. If you figure out any way I can help you out lemme know. I'm poor myself so I can't send you any money; but hell if you ever are in British Columbia and need a place to stay for the night, lemme know
I think it's time for a little warcraft; then some script writting. Maybe some sleep too!
PEACE OUT CALLEDLINGS!
