Tera PC game!

It's been awhile!

And I have been busy with studying and with life!

But what I want to talk about is.... Tera.

WARNING!!!: I'm about to go full on nerd my readers ;)

So my friends Jessica and Sangwoo introduced me to the new PC beta game being released in America called “Tera.”

They got me interested in the game, but my poor laptop can’t support the game :(

BUT THERE IS HOPE!

My boyfriend has two laptops that are very capable of performing up to the standards that Tera needs, and one is this really cool alienware laptop! :O and he is letting me use his alienware to play it while he uses his other HP laptop! :D

This is a gif I made of my boyfriend's alienware.
I made it phase into rainbow colors! :)

The downside is that this alienware feels like it’s 20 lbs, is huge, and is $4000 dollars 0___0

So I am going to be very very VERY careful with it. I feel special he trusts me with it.

My friend Sangwoo just stopped by and transferred the Tera patch files that he already downloaded (so that we didn’t have to wait like a week for all that shit to download), onto both of my boyfriend’s laptops so that all four of us can play together like nerds tomorrow in our college library XD

I just preordered the game on my account so I can play the beta tomorrow with my friends!

I can’t wait to choose a race, choose a class, customize my character, and kick some ass!

Tomorrow is going to be a fun day! :D

I'll be posting more after all my finals are over and the semester has come to an end. There's much more I want to talk about dealing with school and with plans over the summer!

Wish me luck!

P.S. check out my tumblr account. I'm posting and reblogging cool and funny stuff on there everyday and update it more frequently than I do my blogger.

Hockey Game!

About two weeks ago, my mother's friend in Georgia, Laura, got a visit from one of her friends. Now miss Laura's husband is deployed over seas despite this and that with bringing the soldiers home which I won't get into :P
Since Laura has two babies (Addison is still being potty trained, and Wyatt is only a few months old) and is pretty much going insane from lack of friends and family in Georgia, she decided to come back to Tennessee with that friend to visit her own friends and family. This is great for my mom, because she has been so stressed from the amount of bullshit the elementary school she teaches at puts on her. I'm happy my mom gets to see her best friend and on such short notice!

On March 8th my friend Mathew invited Dylan (my boyfriend) and I to the hockey game. The Nashville predators, #5 in the national Hockey league, was playing against the Colorado Avalanche, #9 in the nation. This was my second hockey game, and if you haven't been to a hockey game I recommend you going! It is so much fun, and for 15 dollars you can still get a great view of the ice rink unlike a football game. The whole stadium was packed full of people and the air was electrified in excitement!

This was Dylan's first game, so he really didn't know what to expect or the rules of hockey. But that's what make it more fun, especially seeing his face whenever fights break out during a game haha! The Predators won 4 against 2, and because of a promotional advertisement with Wendy's, everyone who bought a ticket to the game got a free frosty if the Predators won with 4 points or more! :D
Everyone was being fat at one point by chanting, "WE WANT FROSTIES!" after clapping 5 times, haha!

And for my fans who like my drawings, here is one I drew of Dylan a while back of him as Link from Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker!

And here I am having fun playing with photo filters the day we were going to the game x]

Hair Color

It's been awhile since I posted something, and it has been a few years since I've dyed my hair.

I call the color a burgundy since the blonde turned red, and the brown turned darker.

I think I may cut my hair to my clavicles too, or perhaps add more layers, trim the ends, and thin it out.

Personally I really like the new hair color on me. It suits me very well.

What do you think?

My hair dye in the process.
Some of it stained my forehead, but it didn't burn
like the dye did on the back of my neck!

When you see it...

A Passionate Eye Opener: From One Friend to Another.

Author's note: Instead of sleeping, I decided to help a friend out with some boyfriend problems. This boyfriend is also a great friend of mine who I care about, but I am also worried about him. This has been edited from the original I had created for my friend to use.


    You have a superiority complex. You can never be wrong, and ALWAYS have something to rebuke or have to be the smart ass. Even right now you want to interrupt me to say something. Shut up and listen!
    You Always have to be the "most intelligent" and never take in others advice or opinions, and if you do, it is from complete strangers who you shouldn't even trust in the first place! What is the sense in that?!
    Don't interrupt.
    Financially you are digging yourself into a shit hole. You want to satisfy daily pleasures and always think about "now now now" rather than future gains or possibilities. Rather than saving money for moving out LIKE YOU TALK ABOUT, or saving "money for college," or saving money for possible future crises, you want to spend money on stupid shit like nerf guns.
I understand that because you have a job and actually earn money you want to spend that money on things you didn't have as a child that you can get now. But that's thinking like a child. You should know better and do better than that, such as acting mature and saving money into an account like a real adult.
    Don't Interrupt.
    You do not think things through all the way. You do not think about the consequences. You ALWAYS want to do short cuts.
    Well let me tell you something: Life is not all SHORT CUTS. You have to do things for yourself in the long run in order to support yourself, your family who depends on you, and any possibilities of having a future.
    Don't fucking interrupt me.
    I am telling you these things, because I love you enough as a friend to say it. I care about you, your well being, your future, and your family. I saw so much potential in you when you graduated high school, but you flushed it all down the toilet. You failed yourself from an amazing opportunity...
    don't interrupt me.
    ... of getting a free ride from college because of grants, and scholarships that was HANDED to you. And you wasted it.
    You wasted all that money by not taking advantage of it, because honestly other people who work hard for scholarships, like me, should have had the money that was HANDED, LITERALLY, to you.
    I am telling you this, because instead of progressing as an adult like I thought you would be continuing to do, you are regressing to a child.
    You have become lazy, inconsiderate, self-justifying, and ignorant to your own false sense of superiority. 
    Instead of staying up until 5 in the morning playing video games, act like an adult and apply for better jobs to SAVE money and help support your family and yourself in the future! Shit is not going to be just handed to you! Wake up and start acting like an adult.
    DON'T interrupt me!
    You are NOT always right. And right now you will argue and say "I know I'm not always right." 
    Stop fighting, and for once just listen to me. Listen to what I am saying, because one day you are going to hit rock bottom. You are going to hit it so hard and you won't know what to do. You are slowly but surely trickling yourself deeper into a hole that is going to suck the life out of you for good because you didn't think about the future or consequences.
    Don't interrupt me.
   If you care about yourself and your girlfriend, then you will listen to EVERYTHING I have told you, and just do it. Help yourself before you even THINK about helping her and her problems at home and with life. 
    Just listen and abide to what I say. I am telling you this because no one else will.
    This is it.
    You either listen now and change some things, or things are going to become worse, for you. It will just become worse for you, whether you realize and accept it or not.
    I am not out to hurt your feelings. That is one of the main points I want to make clear to you right now. This is an intervention between you and I that needs to finally be noticed instead of being the pink elephant in the room that no one will acknowledge.
    Just please, for the love of God, listen and have an epiphany about yourself from what I am clearly saying!


    In the end, it is your life, but I don't want it being wasted when I know it can be prevented.


    Now you may speak.

Exposure of Mania (Poem)

Stranded all around,
Signs are swaying,

All the wires are down,
The world is cold and dismaying.

This curse took my heart,

It must have taken my soul.
Beneath the moon I fall apart,

Carnage is now taking it’s toll.

No more self-control.

You keep on crying.

I’ll swallow you whole.

The night is undying.

Itching out the pulse inside.

Scratching out to come alive.

Upon my tattered hide.

It will strive to survive.

Times are looking grim these days.
Desperate to hold on to everything.
It's hard to see from the rising haze.

I can no longer keep anything.

It's called me closer.

Sushi Lunch!

    Not long ago I have been opening up to trying all sorts of new foods. And lately, I have been craving Asian food, specifically foods like sushi, ramen, and mondu. I never use to be a sushi fan either, because back in the girl scout days I tried a sushi roll and thought it was slimy and awful! In fact, I remember my mom nicknaming me "plain jane" because I refused to try any new foods or to eat any condiments on my hot dogs or hamburgers. But now that has changed, and to have a chef at a grill prepare food, like sushi, for me changed my view of the food.

    Dylan, my boyfriend, and I heard from the grapevine of this restaurant called Kohana that is well known for having really good sushi, and since I really liked the sushi at Yamato, I was willing to try Kohana's sushi for lunch! He had been there before with his parents, so he gave me a little insight about what he and his parents had tried there.

 He had yummy udon noodle soup which I thought tasted good too!

I had rock-n-roll sushi, haha! It has cooked shrimp, rice, and vegetables in it.

Oh and before I forget!

    An update about short stories: I do plan on writing one soon. I just have been lazy and busy with other things. In fact, I should be applying for scholarships instead of posting a blog, haha. I am collecting some ideas in my head though, so either the next blog post or the following will be a new short story I create. Hopefully...

    And as for "What is Anxiety? Part 2": I will also be creating that post soon, so be on the look out for that if you enjoyed reading part 1. 

But just a heads up, I will be busy with studying for my college classes, such as Human Anatomy & Physiology @_@;

Wish me luck!
