Yes, I am a gamer. Not a very good one, but a gamer nonetheless, and only when I can afford it, both financially and temporally.
..
And so is Cody. He's pretty interesting, and in more ways than one... >.>
I don't watch much television. When I do, it's usually on the internet. By that I mean anime. And even out of that, most of them only run a season or so... Claymore, Murder Princess, Onegai Sensei, Cowboy Bebop, Ah! My Goddess, Lucky Star, FLCL, and random others. Bleach is really the only exception to that that - it's almost to ep 200 (woot!). I've also just started watching Trigun (I know, I know, it's old) and Rosario+Vampire. Oh, and Avatar: the Last Airbender, but that's not really an anime, so I don't know if it can technically be included in with those others. Those shows I watch that aren't animes are usually series that no longer run. Just my luck, I suppose: Firefly, SG1, John Doe, Sliders, Farscape .... eh, you get the picture. Not that Farscape and Sliders really count if you want to be absolutely technical about it... I mean I have only seen a couple eps or so of each.... but what I saw I liked. And I intend to see more. Eventually.

Heroes
A Goddess needs no Heroes. But, if you must know, I have a few, just for fun. Imadoodlebrain is one. My sister Jack and her frilly skirt are another. In fact, there are many people worthy of heroship: the Grand Duke, the Goddess 2.0, my Traveling Buddy, and others... ^.^..
Trogdor is awesome. Okay, now that we have that out of the way... I have never been very good at saying what I really mean, and I have had even less success at doing what I planned to do. I call myself a musician, I never practice. A writer, I never write. I do not call myself an artist and I draw. I call myself friendly, yet I shun sociality. I am a liar, I suppose.
.....One day I hope to make the NY times best sellers list with my books. Slim chance of that, though. There just isn't a market for misanthropic justice these days. People call me obsessed, over what I'm not quite sure. Perhaps it would help to be obsessed about something.
I sometimes have the uncontrollable longing to show certain people the exact meaning of defenestration.
I could go on and on on this thing - tell you all sorts of random stuff. If you didn't know me in person, or maybe even if you did, you wouldn't know it was true unless you actually talked to me. That's the trouble with things like this. People can say anything about themselves and come off as haloed angels. For example, I love rock climbing, calligraphy, chinchillas and peanut butter icecream. One of those wasn't true. And you have no idea which was it, do you? My point exactly. Talk to me. Get to know me. I'm quiet, but I promise you it'll be worth it.
I am still a senior in college, have been for a few years now. Soon though (well, soon in the sense that I have far less ahead of me than behind) I shall graduate, and then it's off to the rest of my days and the love of my life. Unless, of course, my case of senioritis (which I have been informed I have a bad bad case of) gets too unbearable and I just up and quit. The way this semester is looking, that just might happen too.
Who I'd like to meet? No one! Never ever! Just kidding. As far as famous folks go, I don't really want to meet anyone - especially since all the ones who were possibilities are now dead. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Jim Henson, Brian.. Oh! Wait. Brian Froud isn't dead! Yay! Someone who isn't dead! But all the others .... tough luck. Meeting new people is something I'm not especially fond of, so I don't pursue it. Sometimes it can't be avoided though, so I go with it then. If the person turns out to be enjoyable, then that's fine.
Yep school can be stressful! I have five classes this semester and 90 field hours I have to do. I am excited though because I got first graders =) If everything works out according to planned I will graduate Fall 2009..YAY! U??? Then I will probably start my masters soon after that.
Married life is great! Everyday is a new adventure. =) Brad stays very busy with his two jobs...so I don't see him much which is a major bummer! How u doin?
Yeah, and I left you with a Codykins... Noodle's happy, if it's any small consolation. And, I won't be depleting your precious pasta supply anymore for a few days. :p
Aw, c'mon! That game was stinkin' awesome! Spot on analysis, but he failed to mention how hideously lost one could become. Remember our pathetic little trial-and-error maps of the desert? the ocean? the forest? the town?... everything? (complete with markups of opportunities for a terrible death and little bonus areas along the way). And, too, our list of which objects corresponded to which creature/person/obstacle (oddly enough, throwing a stick at the snake did NOT work, but shaking the tambourine did? Who the heck came up with that logic?) And, ahh, yes. Who could ever forget dear King Graham's blood-curdling scream as he plunged to his death over and over.... and over again. Man, I miss it!
oh yeah, just finished my bilogy. its so much fun, my professor is amazing. i have white collar crimes and intro to criminal justice tonight. Tomorrow night my favorite: Forensic Neurology.
ummm, like your new song. sounds a little out of character for you don't ya think? more like something that would go on my page. love you!!have a good day!!
