Alone

I used to like having the place to myself.  But not so much now if no one ever wants to talk to me.

You know what sucks?  When you try to talk to your good friends and they never respond to you, though you know that they are there.  I just want to know what I did wrong, if anything.  Just be honest, I'd rather have the painful truth than have the even more painful cold shoulder.

As much as I hate to admit it, there's a certain extent of loneliness that I just can't bear and when things like this happen, it hurts a lot.

But, rants aside, lots have been going on in life.  Just recently did a long presentation for Mobile Computing class, and a bunch of smaller projects and such coming up.  Still have to take my GRE too, holy shit.  I need to stop procrastinating on everything for once.

Oh, and I has ponies at last.  Blind bags, to be specific.  I have one for Fluttershy, and will be getting an Applejack tomorrow (trading a fellow brony for one).  Can't wait for that.

Been playing an insane amount of Dungeons of Dredmor lately, it's a really addictive rogue-like.  A bit odd at first, especially the skills and such which was a bit confusing at the beginning, but fun once you get in the hang of it.

Also my birthday is next Monday.  As if it's of any importance.  I feel after the 21st birthday it doesn't really matter anymore, at least until you turn 80, but I won't make it that far I'm sure.  Turning 22 though.

Yeah, haven't made a posting in a long time, but...not really much to comment on, you know?  Just...really sick of the way life is going lately, the way people have been, and just seeing my best friends fade away from my life.

Day 1: Already a Nightmare

I can't fucking believe this family I'm a part of.

My grandmother has a pet cockatiel.  Had him since I was a kid, but my parents made me give it away to her because it made too much noise (which it didn't, but my stepfather has zero patience for anything...).  Now that she's in the hospital, we're taking care of the bird...or at least I am.  Tonight, they wanted to keep the bird in the laundry room where I'm sleeping.  Where there's no ventilation, and the whole room smells like I could get diseased within minutes.  They didn't give a shit.  I wanted to move the bird into the living room where there is ventilation and it wouldn't smell, but they didn't want to hear the bird make noise.  Well, what about me?  Obvious they don't care at all...

I am definitely returning back to the apartment as soon as I can.  The sleeping arrangement is just unfair, and it sucks that I have to be treated like crap on a week that's supposed to be a vacation for me.  Going to work on figuring a time when I can be brought back.

Not really in the mood to play anything at the moment.  Just might watch the new MLP episode I didn't get to see today and that might be it for the night.

I'm not suicidal, nor will I ever be, but it's nights like this I wish I weren't around.  Seriously, what the fuck.

Spring break!

Freedom for a week!  Time to relax, play games all day, pig out on snacks and soda, and just overall be lazy for a week, right?

...damn wrong.  Instead of my comfy bed at the apartment, I'm at my home outside of campus with the family, sleeping on a mattress in the laundry room because my obnoxious aunt had to stay over and take my room.  Which is apparently the "guest room"...since when.  Oh, and when I mean obnoxious, I mean she can't shut the fuck up for a second.  Loud as hell, and had a massive headache because of it tonight.

Play games all day?  Nah.  A little, yeah, but I won't be able to use my gaming desktop at night which is a real bitch, since that's pretty much the one good time I have, seeing as how I gotta catch up on work during the day.

Snacks and shit?  Well okay, maybe there's that.  I actually don't "pig out", but I'll still eat the same way as I always do.

Seriously, I don't even know why I'm staying here for my spring break.  Well, the only reason I knowingly have is to spend time with my little brother, but aside from that, would've done much better just staying at my apartment on campus.

Anyway, several new games I've been into lately.  Still playing Borderlands like mad, Level 59 now, progressing through General Knoxx DLC.  But, also been playing Tales of the Abyss on my 3DS.  Played it already on the PS2, but since it recently came out I figured "why not", and got it.  No different than the PS2 version really, aside from a different text font and the usage of two screens instead of one.  Oh, and it loads much faster.  That was my main beef with the original game which took forever to save (unless if it was just because I was using a 64MB card instead of the official 8MB...).

Also started playing Quest 64.  Still not as good as Paper Mario or Hybrid Heaven, but I never actually beat it, so giving it another shot.  Concentrating on Rock/Wind/Water magic, water mostly for healing.  Majority of the good stuff comes from rock and wind.

Oh, and Chips Challenge.  Holy shit, does anyone remember that game?  I recently got a hold of it and played it a little on a virtual machine, brings back so many memories of me playing it on my old Windows 95.  Used to love that old computer, logged so many hours of Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, and Warcraft (yes, the original) on it.  Some of those older games I really miss, so glad virtual machines exist.

Day one of my (sucky) spring break starts tomorrow.  At least there's a new My Little Pony episode on, most likely will have to go on Livestream to watch it.  Or YouTube it that night.  Maybe both if it's good?  Then again it's My Little Pony, it's always good.

Thinking of which, a little something for the CoD fans out there:

I love Applejack.  I love Call of Duty.  This video is probably one of the few things that made today better.

Peace out

Actually, my Hunter in Borderlands (now level 40, recently started Playthrough 2) has more points toward a Rogue spec, but I figured the title was more fitting considering I'm using pretty much nothing but revolvers (and a Bulldog shotgun from Playthrough 1 which I still enjoy using, despite my revolvers being much better).  An Equalizer with high ammo regeneration, plus two other revolvers, one being corrosive and the other explosive.  The latter of the two is quite helpful in taking out those insane waves of skags I have to deal with in the beginning.

I've played this game several times before, how in the hell am I getting more sucked into it than ever before?  And to think I still haven't even started the DLC yet.  Just hope my addiction doesn't get too bad.

Next time I'm in game, I'll be sure to get some screenies of my character's stats and gear, just for the hell of it.

Don't think I'll do all the quests like I did in Playthrough 1, especially since I'm not getting that good amount of EXP for it.  Would rather just kill mobs like there's no tomorrow since it seems to be a much better source of experience.  Once I complete Playthrough 2 I'm gonna start going through all the DLC.

If anyone wants to join me for co-op, I'm still looking for the multiplayer experience sometime!  Of course I still gotta make a GameSpy account, but will do so when the opportunity for multiplayer gameplay arrives.

Get You One!

Hey, name's Scooter! I's named after my sister. Hey, come get you some wheels!

Yep, that's right, been re-playing Borderlands again for the...4th time?  Actually trying a Hunter this time.  Would always play the Soldier every time I played this, but figured I'd go a different route this time.  Still using shotguns though, but have most of my proficiency levels in pistols so far.  Oh and I have the Game of the Year edition, so I'll finally be able to play all the DLC later on (haven't gotten to play all of them the previous times I played this game).

Only level 14 so far, but if anyone else wants to join along sometime, I'm up for it.  Would prefer to play with people about my level though, not fun to have a level 60 bring me through the whole game.  I like a challenge.

Definitely hyped for Borderlands 2, but...gonna be some time before that's out.  Figured this would tide me over in the meantime.

Weekend of relaxation, may be going to the arcade with a friend tomorrow which should be fun, but Sunday I gotta study for my first text in my Mobile Computing class...gonna need lots of luck for it.  Not exactly my most favorite subject that I'm taking this semester.  It's a shame it's not take-home like a lot of my other exams are.

And now I leave you with a really cool pony crossover:

See you all next time

Knite, Level 1 Human Fighter

Taking a shot at Pathfinder, and actually enjoying it so far, getting the rules and such pretty well.  Of course I'm just going by the solo adventure that came with the box set, but might try other things with the game afterward.

Staying at the apartment for the weekend, which means I'll have peace and quiet Friday-Sunday.  Perfect time to be lazy, play games and stuff, the usual.  Had considered walking over to the nearby movie theater, but there's not really anything out I'm interested in seeing, plus it's a 45 minute walk in somewhat hot weather.  No thanks.

I may actually spend time this weekend working on a video, if inspiration comes to me.  It's time I got something new up anyway, and with no roommate to bother me all the time, I may as well.  Still want to do something MLP related but it takes forever to acquire an episode off of YouTube for use, will have to use "other methods".  Even then it'd take a while to think of something good.

Oh, and, I may be auditioning for Wheel of Fortune on the 26th.  I shit you not, I love the show, I'm really good at it.  Was watching it tonight and saw that the bus is coming to where I live on that day, definitely gonna go for it.  Even if I do well for the auditions it's probably still a low chance, but it's worth a shot.

Funny, I love games like that, yet I suck at Scrabble.  Seriously, think I only won like 20% of the games I ever played on Words With Friends.

Birthday is coming up faster than I realize, close to a month to go, still don't know what I want for it.  I know I want a new laptop but not really sure of what else.  A good Applejack plush would also make me happy, but they can get pricy.  Hell, I'd even be happy with one of those small Applejack blind bag toys.  One of the bronies at school had one, he showed it to me and was able to hang it off the top of my laptop, as if she was just chilling up there and watching, it was awesome.

Been looping this for some time, love it

I shall update soon on video progress and whatnot.  See you all then.

Not dead!

Wow, a week since the last post?  Geez, I've spent way too much time in Minecraft...

Yeah, I've been back to playing Minecraft again, online this time, found a random survival server that just started up, been helping out with building a few things, and having fun doing so, really enjoying the multiplayer experience.  Partially the reason why for my disappearance.

Mostly though the reason is because of my grandmother, been really depressed lately because of her, still can't stand seeing her in the hospital.  She did get moved to a different floor through for physical therapy, so she is showing some improvement, but it's still tough...

Tomorrow I get my Pathfinder stuff, hoping to start getting into the material and playing the game a little (yes on my own, better than nothing).  Pretty much the one thing I have to look forward to tomorrow for Valentine's Day.

Well, one other thing too.  Only sent something to one person for Valentine's Day, and I'm sure you can guess who it was.  If not, you obviously haven't been reading all of my posts.  Hoping her getting that will brighten her day once she gets it.

To close this off, I think I'll show off what I made for the server (yes it was all handmade without flying, yes I had to get all the materials myself, yes I have lost all sanity):

And yeah, my skin is of Derpy Hooves with her paper bag costume.  Best skin I've ever used.  For those that are wondering how my character is a pony instead of a human (and somehow never heard of the mod), I'm using the Mine Little Pony mod.  Look it up on the Minecraft forums.

See you all next time.
