Rainy, rainy, rainy. So damned rainy.
And my roof's been leaking. Woe is me.
It's another day in the week, and we're in October already, so Halloween will be around before we know it. I wonder what I'll dress up as this year.... maybe a Gaara?
Most likely Gaara, since it kinda went UNUSED. Double drat.
The college experience has been good to me thus far, I've been able to keep up with my life (or whatever semblace of a real life it passes for) as well as my online life. I've been very busy with Guild work, since it's about time we started revamping and doing things to better, well, ourselves, basically.
Of course there's the slight problem of new members being too intimidated and then chased away by our members. So. Not. Cool.
Seriously, you people should know better....how can we grow if we keep dumping out the stuff we need to grow? So I was VERY dissapointed with a few of you today, and you can expect to be hearing from me personally.
Subforums are supposed to be coming out very soon, I am looking forward to that, as it will get the guild very organized and neat, like I want it to be. <3
Also, I'm hoping my "Thread revive" idea goes through and that my fellow guilds mates help me out with it.
Other than that, nothing much else to report about my life. Well, maybe the fact that Orphen: Scion of Sorcery for the PS2, sucks monkey balls 2DMAXX.

Today, a friend put up some links on her blog (where do you find this s**t?) and I took the liberties of playing around with a few of them. Mostly the ones pertaining to asteroids and mass destruction.
My favorite is this one.. You see, little known to many of us commoners, there lurks this large asteroid (aptly called Asteroid 234308oefndf97434-1 Delta Niner) in our solar system. Every so often, this asteroid crosses our beloved planet's orbital trajectory (look at me using big words wrongly!) Without being too dramatic, this spells out BIG ******** TROUBLE if the timing is right.
Anyway, after studying the noted link above, I came to several of my own conclusions:
1.)That this site is best viewed while using a horseracing announcer's voice.
2.)While eating popcorn and going, "Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!" when the near misses occur.
3.)Venus gets shmucked first (this may change from viewer to viewer)
4.)Mercury is an arrogant little b*****d.
I don't think we have much to worry about. We'll get side-swiped in 2029, but from what I can tell, 2080 is the Big DayTM. Of course, there could always be a collosal behemoth plowing right for us at light speed and wipe us out tomorrow, but since we'll never know what hit us, I'm not to uptight about it.
This page would be a lot more fun if I knew what the hell all the big numbers meant. However, not being smart like that has its advantages. Random numbers are pretty entertaining. It only took me three tries to melt 24% of the earth.
Then I got this one:
The Earth is completely disrupted by the impact and its debris forms a new asteroid belt orbiting the sun between Venus and Mars.
Mission complete!

On another note, I solved a mystery the other day. Back in January, I had this scary experience.
Until now, I was never certain exactly what it was that lurked outside my bedroom window. All I knew was it sounded like someone running a cat through a radiator (or something to that effect) and that it scared the hell out of me.
The mystery monster? Not owls. Not bats. Not evil clowns. No--it was a squirrel. Yes. A squirrel. Who would have guessed that those little rat bastards could make such horrible noises? Squirrels are suppose to be cute and cuddly! Not sound like the devil rising from the depths of hell!
I know it was a squirrel because I witnessed first hand one of them making this screeching noise in broad daylight. You see, we have this family of squirrels that live in our trees. One of them is a behemoth. He's huge. Like a Godzilla Squirrel. I think it's all those nuts from the store we feed him. Has to have something to do with the pesticides they use these days. That's the only explanation I can think of. He's like the size of a small cat and has the temper of a badger--a rabid badger.
Anyway, Godzilla was having a bad day. The neighbor's cat was prowling around under the trees and Godzilla was chittering up in the branches. Most of the cats around here know not to mess with him, but the neighbors across the street, have two 'new' cats fresh out of kitten hood. They have yet to learn the wrath of Godzilla and his clan of ninja elite mercenary squirrels.
Normally, a prowling cat would only incense Godzilla into a flurry of chitters, tossing of pine cones, or in a worse case scenario, the rush down the tree into what I can only explain as Squirrel WWF. That is usually enough to send any cat hightailing it out of our yard and into the freeway. Problem solved.
However, on this particular day, Godzilla's arch rivals decided to show up. Enter the crows and magpies. For those of you who don't have any experience with these birds, count yourself lucky. They are EVIL. Not only are they smart, they harbor a cruel streak that makes Stalin look nice. I've watched them corner cats in the trees, pecking at them from behind while the kitties try to get away, their little paws attached firmly to the trunk and unable to defend themselves. My mom watched a small group of magpies attack a bunny in the yard, pecking it to pieces and leaving the corpse to rot.
Not. Nice. Birds. At. All.
They usually avoid the area around the house (we have a lot of property) because in the closet, there's a bat with a name for each one of them. But we've been slacking as of late, so they're getting brave again (that'll have to be remedied ASAP).
Anyway, the birds see that Godzilla is in the tree, without his helpers anywhere in sight. They also see the cat. So, like the opportunistic vultures they are, the descend into the tree, getting as close to Godzilla as they could, cawing and shrieking, pecking at him when his back was turned. By this time, there's such a ruckus being made, I leave my spot from the window and go outside, hoping to get them all to STFU. It's like Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" outside or something. I get to the front door and open it just in time to hear what I've come to call, "The War Cry".
Godzilla stands up on his hind legs and starts screaming like he's being ground up in a combine. Everything gets real quiet for a minute. Even the stupid birds shut up. After a pause, I can hear angry jabbering from the other trees in our yard (we have a lot of them). The Calvary is coming. I go inside, not wanting any part of the battle that is about to begin in my front yard.
You learn something new everyday. Squirrels can scream. Amazing. I guess it's like rabbits. Rabbits make horrible noises when they get killed (seen them eaten by big snakes).

Last, but not least--- for those of you interested, a fun little "test".
My results were:
Fighter
81% Combativeness, 46% Sneakiness, 38% Intellect, 19% Spirituality
Good at hitting things and with a definite violent streak; you are a Fighter!
Fighters are the basic martial combatants in D&D. Their abilities and skills vary wildly between individuals, but they all share one thing in common� a definite preference for violence.
You're either really defensive, have an unhealthy fascination with sharp objects� or you just like hurting people. Either way, you should probably try and keep your cool. Being able to hack someone into pieces maybe a useful skill in most RPGs, but in real life it will just get you into trouble.
