Wow I have so gotten out of touch with the LJ thing. Hell I don't even use My Space much either and that's more recent. I think after 4 years of documenting my life online I've just gotten tired of it. So it's hard for me to think to come to my blog and post. That's not to say I will be quitting LJ or anything it's just the reason for my very sparatic posts. I think in general I'm just kinda tired of communicating online. I only like to be on AIM if I have something else going on online at the same time and after years of websurfing the only thing I do online anymore is play MMOs. And you can't really play an MMO and be on AIM at the same time. Otherwise I would do it more. It's odd, I've gotten to a point in my life where unless I'm multi-tasking I don't feel like I'm doing enough to keep myself occupied. Especially with the computer. In my MMOs I talk to my guild mates at the same time so that's close enough to multi-tasking for me. But if I'm just browsing the internet or talking online I have to have at least 2 or 3 other tasks going on otherwise I have nothing to fill the dead space between messages and I get bored. So yeah sorry if I haven't been on AIM much, that's mostly the reason why. It's not that I don't like talking to you all, it's just that unless I can find something else to do at the same time I don't really think about logging on.

Little Boy: Hi
Me: Hi
Little Boy: What's your name?
Me: Dini
Little Boy: Are you a boy or a girl?
Me: I'm a girl
Little Boy (to his friend as I walk away): She looks like a boy
*sigh* I seem to get that a lot. It doesn't matter what my age is or my hair style. When I was little people confused me for a boy. When I had long hair people confused me for a boy. Even now people confuse me for a boy. Granted I don't help it any by dressing in jeans and a sweatshirt most of the time, but still. Oh well.

Damn it I'm so excited I'm jittery. I was talking with Meg online and she mentioned the Star Wars club up in Eugene and I suddenly remembered that I had yet to search for a club down here. So what did I find. The Orange County Star Wars Club and they even meet near Disneyland which is 10 minutes from my apartment. Damn I'm so excited. Unfortunately the next meeting isn't until February so I have to wait a month, but damn it's gonna be cool. Ok so they are mostly over 35 but thats ok. It's gonna be sooooooo cool. Meg I love you for reminding me even if you didn't really mean to.

You scored as Egwene. You are Egwene al'Vere! Strong and independent, and able to carry burdens beyond your years, you are an excellent rolemodel for other young women.

So today was interesting in roommateland. Jen and I were having a bit of fun with our evil roommate when things kinda exploded. The evil one was taking a shower and Jen got the idea to turn off the power to the bathroom. Well considering that I hate her I thought this was a rather funny idea. So we turned off the electricty to her room and the bathroom while she was in the shower. We then moved on to pissing her off by playing really loud and obnoxious music since she couldn't retaliate. So she brought out her music to our living room and I cut electricity there too since Jen was playing music from her laptop and it was running on batteries. Basically she got really pissed and we eneded up in a one-sided shouting match where Jen and I were doing all the shouting (more Jen than myself). I think the whole apartment complex heard us. It was a good 15 minutes of basically unloading all the shit that's been bothering us about her. I should feel bad about what happened and what I did, but I don't. I hate her too much to feel bad. She asked what she could do to improve things and we told her the only thing was to move out, which is true. At this point there really isn't anything else that will make us happy. We want her gone, and bad. I really hope she leaves soon.

Haven't posted in a while, thought I might. That and I need typing practice again so this is good. I've been playing too many games and not typing enough stuff that I'm afraid I might forget how to type well. Not that I could type well to begin with but whatever. Anyways so yeah had a good Christmas. Went to see the whole family, which was cool. And now I'm sitting in Arizona visiting my BF. Man that was a long drive. 14 hours from Merced CA to Sierra Vista AZ (I'd write the name of the base he's stationed in but it's damn hard to spell. It's something like Fort Huachuka or something). Anyways haven't been on the internet much. And now that I have seasons 5-7 of SG-1 on dvd I can't seem to stay away from the tv. It draws me in. Haven't really been in the mood to play online games right now anyways. I need a good ps2, game cube, or GBA game to play. Fortunately I have Metroid Prime 2 to play, but my game cube isn't here so unfortunately I can't play it yet. Then again I doubt I'll get much farther in it than I did in MP1. Especially since I've never beaten MP1. Not that I really care, the only games I really care about completing these days are rpgs. All others I usually lose interest in after a while. More so for FPS type games (although metroid isn't really a fps but it has the same feel to it). I should really play more non-rpg games but I have a hard time convincing myself too. Especially since I have a habit of just buying the games and hope I enjoy them. Usually I know for certain it'll be a game I'll like, although simetimes I pick ones I'm not as fond of, like Dark Cloud.
Anyways that's enough of me babbling I think. Time to go back to SG-1.

So I've been toying around with the idea of a webcomic (again) and I actually have something to show for it for once. Lol this is probably the 5th or 6th time I've tried to do a webcomic thing. I can just never seem to find the motivation to do it, however this time my idea (well ok me and my friend AJs idea) has me as a jedi so I'm more motivated. An evil Jedi at that. She gets to be the good jedi. Anyways here's the image of myself that I drew as the evil jedi.

Haven't posted in a while, been busy doing nothing. I really should be doing stuff but I just can't seem to motivate myself. That and I'm kinda addicted to Final Fantasy VII right now. With Advent Children comming out hopefully early next year I decided to play the game again. Now I remember why it was such a good game. It's been a long time since I've spent this many hours playing a game in such a short time. I think it's been a week and I've already played 35-40 hours worth. I'm not exactly sure, I've lost track. All I know is that I started playing at noon and I just stoped 15 minutes ago, so like 9:00 pm. I did the same thing yesterday too. The sad thing is I want to play more. I had to force myself to stop and take a break. Knowing me I'll play on my computer for a few hours, then go get some coffee and continue playing all night. Sadly all the new RPGs that have come out haven't kept my interest near as well as this one and this one is like 7 or 8 years old. Fortunately in a few years it'll be released again for the PS3. So I can yet again spend a million hours playing it. I'm even doing side quests which I haven't done for an RPG since.... actually since I played this one the first time. I spent so many hours on it that I couldn't bring myself to do any side quests in subsiquent RPGs. No, wait, I lied, I did side quests in Final Fantasy X, cuz I remember wanting the Magus Sisters and Anima. So that was the last time I did side quests.
Anyways I really need to get off my ass and do shit. That's the problem with 4 day weekends every week, you don't do squat. I really wish I had 5 day weeks again. Then I actually do stuff. Course it doesn't help that my work hasn't been giving me any hours. I really need another job. Then again I already have two, I just need to remind myself to call my second one and schedule myself for work. Damn event staffing, it sucks, and I can never remember to call in.
