Cool, cause I had a really hard time understanding any of that and nobody helped me with anything. So where in the US are you going?
It can be a bit daunting, but there's guides on the internet on how to do things. And if not, just contact the local American embassy asking for information.
I'm heading to Arizona, Glendale Community College.

Hah Yeah should maybe have mentioned that. :) cool thanks alot!
I kinda start to get the hang of this Scandinavian history thing. Lots of interesting things here and there. Especially that I finally learnt more about Olof Palme, who has a walkway (?) named after him here in Budapest. That I see like almost every day.

I may have said this before, but if you need any more insight into Swedish history, feel free to ask. Olof Palme was quite the interesting character.

pats on back hang in there, Prismeru.
As for my day, it was a very long one, Today I went to the Canal Days festival where I live had had a pretty good time. Walked around, ate fried foods, shopped around, took lots of pictures. All in all, a day well spent, my only real complaint being the sunburn on my arms… and my sore heels. TT3TT

Saw 'The Edge of Tomorrow' at theaters today. Go watch that movie. It really is great.
Just think of Groundhog's Day if it took place in the middle of a war with aliens. I hope I just sold that movie.
You do make it sound ok, but I have a thing against supporting Tom Cruise. I'm sure everyone is aware of what that thing is. >_>
God damn it, i was just about to post that joke.
Tom Cruise has a lot of hateable qualities. If you think about it, it's kinda impressive how much hate he can ammass. Maybe it gives him powers? D:
Just know that Tom Cruise dies a lot in that movie and sometimes in very hilarious ways.

Is it because Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise crazy?
The most recent thing i remember about Tom Cruise was that explosive long-winded rant/threat he did in Tropic Thunder.
Which i thought was totally awesome. "I WILL MASSACRE YOU. I WILL FUCK YOU UP!"

Me last night. I've got two more episodes left and I don't think I'm ready.
Got rejected by a publisher. I know how it goes and i've been rejected a fuckin' lot but even if it's not the first time or even the last time by a long shot it stills hurts :/
I've been away for so long. I don't know, but I guess it doesn't matter. the good news is I've been legitimately busy. I managed to get hired for a job this summer. All that failure paid off. It's nice to be able to buy things with my own money. I got this in the mail today:
!
I quit one of my 2 jobs in the hope of getting more time to dedicate to other things, and also because my current job gave me a small promotion.
I've had a active week so far.
Monday we all attended a psuedo-graduation for my sister, more tailored to her program at her high school then the school itself (real graduation is the 29th). She gave a nice speech, and recieved a plague for Student of the Year! It's just too bad the food that they served was cold and not worth $35 a plate.
Yesterday I recieved a tuition refund!!!!!1
So I used it to get new shoes for work, a couple of work shirts, a graduation gift for my sis (movie gift card, hohoho), and treated myself to Super Mario 3D World and the new volume of Magi. Still got some left, but heheh…..couldn't resist.

congrats on the job and FMA! Marimo…..it's been so long! :O
Got a call from three police departments today to go through the final process to become a police officer (LAPD, Glendale (police cadet position) and my home city Pomona). So fucking psyched and hopefully the one I want to work at calls me back first with a position.
If you are gonna shoot, shoot. Don't talk

Dude, that's great news! Good luck and when you get the job stay safe out there. Especially with all the craziness happening right now, though its always been dangerous.
Went to go finish my college graduation stuff. My GPA is 0.002 away from getting me summa cum laude. I'm magna cum laude right now. I still have pending grades though so I could get bumped up.

At first I only read the "My GPA is 0.002" and was amazed at you graduating.
Good luck with the hopeful bump.

It's kind of ironic in a way. 'Gets a job to buy DVDs. Can't find time to watch DVDs because of job.' orz It can be a bit exhausting and I got a particularly bad case of dehydration earlier today. literally every time I'm like 'ok fill up your water before we open' and don't, I regret it. :p
I definitely have some catching up to do, but at least AP probably hasn't changed that much in the time I've been gone. I assume.
Big news !!
Remember that NGO project I had with some friends at college, that project to rebuild school libraries in my state ?
The BIG news, I managed to get a sponsorship from a big bookstore…OH BOY..O.O I Can't believe this is happening.
Tomorrow i have a book presentation of "Lluvias de la liebre estial" (Hey, buy my book!). I will have to use a suit, ugh. Also, since i'm so badass (AKA idiot) the presentation is at the same time that Spain Vs Holland so…yeah. Fuck.
Ugh, my house is so terrible on hot days, I feel like I'm melting. -_-
Helped a friend of the family move. Took 4 hours of constant lifting and dragging.
So now my body is pretty much dead and smelly
Just found out I failed Physics for the year. (My year average was a 63.)
I have to go to meet a tutor and pass Physics during the summer or else I have to leave the school.
And this was the first time I've ever failed any class ever, period. Hell, I've never gotten anything less than an 80 for year average ever before this year.
I just feel distraught. And the worst thing is that I could've actually easily avoided it. (screw me, ugh.)
Why are they even teaching Physics to freshmen anyways? (Magnetism, Buoyancy/Water Pressure, Electricity, Thermodynamics, 1-D motion, 2-D motion, Velocity, Friction, Vectors & Scalars, etc. All that, and it was mostly an equations based class, and so I was lost half the time since I didn't really have much experience with some of the topics at all (like how to relate certain things in a problem in order to put down the correct equation).)
Why is school so "pass or fail" anyway? Ugh, I just hate everything, I just hate myself sometimes.

It's just a grade man, don't beat yourself so hard about it. It can be worked out.
notices APCT is back for the year
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
My day was pretty good, I got to spend time with my dad and have lunch at the Chinese buffet. :)
I hate this year. It´s the year where everybody is dying, it seems. One of our cats died a few days ago, and today I learned that one of our neighbours died yesterday night. Both were pretty old and of ailing health, so neither was a huge shock or anything, but I feel like Im confronted with death everywhere all of a sudden. Whenever something reminds me of my grandmother or uncle, who both passed away a few months ago, I could just start crying every time. It is so hard to grasp that a person you have known for such a long time is just gone and you can never see them again, never talk to them again or hear their voice. Im scared for everybody I love and Im waiting for new bad news at any moment. I think I should end this post now and just go to bed, I feel like Im spiraling down into some fucking abyss of despair right now, writing this. Maybe tomorrow I wont feel like some empty shell. I just cant stand myself when I`m so full of self-pity…
Someone used my email address to open an eBay account and I found out because I started getting notifications about him bidding on Air Jordan shoes. Anyone know if you need to get into the actual email account to create an eBay account? It doesn't seem like he got into my email but I changed the password just in case. Anyway, I called eBay support and got the account suspended. Funniest part was the guy was bidding while I was on the call and I got the account suspended when he was the highest bidder on something with 2 minutes left. I bet he's pissed whoever he is. I didn't have any payment method hooked to the account (as I didn't create it) so there was no danger of him using my money, but I still didn't want him using my shit to buy shoes.
I sold Books, YAY!
Tomorrow there's another book presentation but this one is just an excuse for a party. But eh, if i can move some books i will accept it (hope they don't trash my house xp )
The 'Head of Retail' of my shoe store came in today and I was kind of nervous but then he asked me what I did at school, and we ended up talking about animation and big animated tv mascots and I might have stumbled into a serious animation gig for tv
I highly doubt anything will come of it honestly but it's still neat to be able to chat with such a high ranked member of the company and have him actually interested in my ideas

It's quite possible the dude (or maybe his girlfriend IDK) maybe had a very similar email address to yours and misspelled it/messed up a number here and there? If they weren't smart enough to realize they weren't getting emails to verify their account and shit and kept bidding then I can see how they might make that mistake :P

Lawd, that was 2010 for me. After my grandmother passed away (it was 4 years ago on Tuesday) I had a close friend lose her father and another lost her mother both very suddenly and tragically and it was so fucking awful. I used to not have a problem with people I know having passed away but since my grandma died I haven't handled it well at all. Many hugs to you Riddler and good thoughts. Just relax. Anyone can die at any fucking time and for the most part there's many random causes of death that we cannot even begin to predict or prevent. That's the nature of life. The grieving process can be long and difficult, but try to focus living your life to the fullest and loving those around you as hard as you can. Take time to tell people how much you appreciate them. I was closer to my grandma than my mom and we used to horribly fight but, right before she died she let go of a lot of her stubborn-ass attitude and we took the time to really understand each other and appreciate other properly. If this didn't happen I would've had no closure, and it made me realize that it's important to cherish people as long as you can. It motivated me more to try and do better with my mom, and I think it maybe gave her a little push too.
You can drop dead at any time, we all can. It's REALLY not worth worrying about, you can't live a full life and really truly love with all your heart if its obsessed with death and dying. The ultimate goal is to be able to die at peace with content in your relationships and how you live, even if you didn't reach all your goals if you spent what life you had trying your hardest, you did what you could. I don't mean for this to be morbid at all, I think it's just the most realistic way to approach it.

That is AWESOME ^_^ I hope something does come of it, hopefully he remembers you later. That would be a great gig.
Christ, I just read my last post, what the hell happened there :blink: I was just going to write about how this year kinda sucks because everybody is dying, and then I just got really depressed while writing. And then I got really pissed off at myself for pitying myself so much, I cant stand that. Sorry, yall! I should learn to control my emotions a bit better, I feel pretty embarassed now.

Hey don't feel bad!! It really wasn't awful ^^ You lost your grandma and uncle really close together (and now your cat that sounded like you had for a long time? Hey grief over losing a pet is real), that is a massive blow. You gotta let the insecurity and sadness out every now and then, in small doses its perfectly healthy and normal. I definitely did not see that as a self-pity post (I've been there, and I made a lot of horrifically embarrassing self-pity posts OTL). Until you start lashing out at everyone then telling people to take pity on yourself for your losses you ain't doing bad, so don't worry ^^
Thanks, thats really nice of you :smile:I just dont like when I get so pessimistic and negative, I feel like Im making life harder for myself than it has to be, you know? And yeah, we have a lot of pets, and this cat wasnt really one of my favorites, to be honest, but we did have her for 14 of her 18 years of life, so you`re right, it has been quite some time. Also, we used to jokingly compare her to my grandmother, as they had some similar character traits. So having them both die in such a short amount of time just feels a little weird. Hard to describe.
Ugh, yesterday was a pain in the ass with all the busy activity at my job. I even broke off my diet by eating a full box of pizza last night just to make myself feel better.
Anyways, just six more days until it’s time for me to say good-bye to my 20s and say hello the big 3-0. Ugh. -_-
Btw, do you all want to know what I really want for my birthday this time? A kickass voice clip of Nico Robin saying the Rokushiki techniques as if she was in a fight. Hell, I would even love to hear her saying some techniques from my Rokushiki Robin movelist project! That would be so damn awesome! :)
Oh and Riddler, sorry to hear what happened to your cat as well as your neighbor. I know how you feel man. :(
nothing like getting icee stains on the back of your shirt after cleaning the mess from a leaked machine….then spending an hour or so organizing and wiping down the icee-soaked candy...to have the machine be turned on later....to leak again and literally undo all the cleaning you just did.
nothing like losing the $20 your brother had paid you back.
…..end, weekend, please end.
..
....oh!
Forgive my rambling, Riddler. Don't feel bad at all for being emotional or what have you, some things really just get to you, hard. Terribly sorry to hear about what happened to your neighbor and cat. :-(
