I'm taking steps to make my current Scion game less comedy and more serious drama type stuff. This is a big step for me as I'm both comfortable with and good at the comedy. Thats not to say the weird craps going out the window, cause believe me it's gonna get weird with a WWII game but naming a nazi stronghold Castle Wolfenstein is probably a bad idea hehehe(I so was gonna too.) Maybe if I can do a good job with the horror and dark stuff I can convince my favorite mooks to try some other horror games later on down the road.

I can't recognize the living room and kitchen right now. It looks so nice in there I thought I'd walked into the wrong apartment just now. Of course it made me want to cry cause I know it won't stay that way for long. The second Josh or Bryant wake up they'll eat breakfast and leave a mess in the kitchen. It's like having a new puppy really. You know they're gonna make a mess for you to find when you wake up.

Without help from Mr and Mrs Mook(happy 10 year anniversary btw) we'd have never gotten it looking as good as it is. John and I worked with Adam and Sarah to get it done and even forced Josh to do the dishes(he then hid himself in his room while we cleaned.) If the apartment goes back to looking like a crap whole again I've promised myself I'd give some serious thought to moving out.

As it is right now though I'm half tempted to go sleep on the floor in the living room it's so nice out there!

Went to Ballistic Comics today to buy some comics. I had stopped going there a couple years ago due to the owner talking a bunch of shit bout my friend Howard at Games HQ. Well here recently my roommmate John had convinced me to give them a second chance since he's tight with the guy. Mistake.

Went in there today and the place was empty, soon as we walk in the owners talking smack about how Games HQ is ripping people off on a Magic tournament and how they're horrible people etc. Then he goes off on Parker, Banner, Kent, and Wayne(my favorite comic store) and I'm thinking "Why do I give people more chances to piss me off?"

I felt just like I did when Buttons and I took someone to Carowinds only to hear how immature and childish we are for driving down to get them and then feeding them.

Rent man just woke me up to change the refrigerator and steam clean the carpet so I had to wake up Josh and Bryant to help do a quick cleaning session. They're grumpy as hell but fuck it if I gotta get up and make the place presentable then the two who contributed most to fucking it up can too. As for the rent man, he's an idiot but at least I'm getting a new fridge out of this.

Edit: Apparantly a new stove and counter top as well.

Went to the local coffee house with some friends today for ice cream(turns out I suck at adding I'm fine on cash) and it's apparantly "Poetry to Cut Yourself to Night." Sitting there eating my ameretto cherry and someone starts a poem entitled "Tribute to Billy Mayes" and I realize, thanks mostly to the passion in which he recites this verse, I've reached a new low in lame.

In an effort to save money I'm staying home for the next three days and not going anywhere but work. Furthermore when I do go to work I'm leaving my credit card and cash at home.

This plan would be mind numbingly dull if I didn't have my DDO account back.

I'm so tired I can barely stand right now. The past few days I've been a blur of activity and though I'm getting plenty of sleep it doesn't seem to be doing me much good. I was so tired at work I wanted to cry but couldn't find the energy.

Today Josh and I took off to Carowinds with Brittany in tow. That was both fun and highly informative and led to a ton of contemplation on my part at work. No surprise really I have tons of contemplation almost every night at work.

Today I just want to stay home and in bed as much as possible. I'm still working out, and I even have to go to work tonight, but I want to lie down and stay there for a while.

So Jacob also did the 5 words thing(see earlier post) and these are his words for me.

Hot-Wings: I love hot wings and Jacob knows this. I can clearly remember our many dinners on campus eating wings from the gnarled old dude that sold them in the Cone Building. Those were still some of the best wings, and best company, I've ever had.

Ronbo: Ronbo was an amateur porn producer from Kings Mountain. In fact he lived less than a mile from my trailer I grew up in. I developed pictures for him at the Eckerds Photo Lab. The thing I liked about Ronbo wasn't so much the porn it's that I knew many of his "models" as they went to high school with me and generally made fun of me for being a nerd. The morale of that story? Just cause you're hot shit in high school doesn't mean you won't end up giving blowjobs on the internet as soon as you're out of high school.

Larp: I sometimes wonder how life would have been different if I hadn't taken a job at Great American Cookie Company and recruited Jacob and Lisa into the den of lame that was LARP. The one is identified with me due not only because of my four years running LARPs of my own but probably mostly because of my long patronage of local games to a probably unhealthy degree(hell I admit it.) This is where I first started to hang out with Jacob who at the time was a henchmen for one Greg Gonet.

Southern: I am a southern man. I am a NEW Southern Man of the New South so they say. I've often expressed pride in being southern despite whatever negative conotations others may put to the word. Southern does NOT mean country but I've always taken pride in coming from a small middle of nowhere town as well. As a southern man I do not beat my women, drink Budweiser, lynch blacks, or attend weekly Baptist church meetings. I do not enjoy NASCAR though I am a avid fan of pro wrestling. I am educated, motivated, and dedicated to seeing the South grow and prosper and am quite glad Jacob added this as one of his 5 words(I also got a country accent thick as Mississippi mud.)

COBRA!!!: Let this be a leason, never get drunk and pass out on a couch bed anywhere near me. I once woke Jacob up with "Good morning DR MINDBENDER!!" and ever since then our burning desire to join Cobra has been in full effect.

So we've found that "Kill All Hippies" is twice as politically incorrect as Pimp: The Backhanding. My favorite flavor text qoute is:

"Girls are like parking spaces. The good ones are all taken and the rest are handicapped."

Other than an idiot walking up to me and trying to sell me drugs while I'm on duty the past two days at my least favorite site(currently that is) haven't been that bad. I've even managed to meet a few new people.

My ex roommate Daniel asked if I could give his woman and friends crash space for the weekend. I said sure and even though it turned out not to be necessary I did meet them and hang out some. "Hi you must be Kim? Daniel tells me you're easy." Hehehe comedic gold Cuddles.

I'm off the next two days, I doubt they'll be restful but they'll at least be fun. Speaking of rest I haven't worked out in the past two days. I don't see this as being lazy as I work out the other five days each week.

I stole this from Bloodkitty aka Wendy. Reply with the comment "WORDS" and I'll tell you 5 words that remind me of you. Here's what Bloodkitty replied about me and my thoughts.

Mook: I'm actually King of the Mooks! Problem with that is I'm sourrounded by mooks. "Mook" is a term meaning "canon fodder" made popular by military and war gaming types. In truth it actually means "common man" or "average schmuck." Just another cog in the wheel, just another mook in the system. Yup thats me :)

Nerd: Yeah I'm a nerd. I met Wendy like many of my friends because I'm a nerd. I've always liked to think of myself as "a new age nerd" in that I don't quite fit the pocket protector stereotype but I am still quite the fan boy and have "nerd-gasmed" over the nerd subjects I'm fond of.

Kung Fu: Yeah I know Kung Fu. I've had to use it a depressingly large number of times since moving to Charlotte, generalyl while working security. It use to define me a lot more than it does now but I still enjoy doing the exercises. I'm not always proud of the results of my talent(name putting people in the hospital while working at Eastland) I am proud of my talent. Also putting up with some snot nosed jackoff is A LOT easier when you know you could just reach over and break him if you wanted to, so you just smile and nod a lot more without having to prove as much to yourself.

Responsibility: I'm as amazed to see that one as you are. I guess compared to when I first met Wendy I'm more responsible, I got the apartment and the younger nerds to look after. I'm a good son, brother, and hopefully friend. I'm busting my ass to make something of myself so I guess that qualifies as responsible.

Honour: This is touching. It really is. I almost shed a tear(but I'm far too macho for that don'cha know.) Not a whole lot of people know it but I do set limits and guidelines for myself. It's part of what helped me from going down the road of my family. I've always tried to play fair by people while at the same time I don't tolerate attacks on myself or especially my loved ones.

Reply and I give you my words for you(probably tomorrow.)

The bad news is I didn't take the job as I don't want to have to drive down to Fort Mill for a second shfit job during the semester. Second shift=No Life.

The good news is the fuckers who broke into the apartment last month are now in jail! Jon got his car back and we're hopeful the X-box will be retruned as well.

Went on a job interview for another security company today and it looks like I probably got the job. It pays two bucks more an hour than my current job and offers medical so that's good.

I have a second interview tomorrow, this time with a site manager. Assuming it doesn't go horribly wrong or I take one look at the site and think "Not a chance" I'll give my current job the two weeks notice and be gone.
