I went today to the Renaissance Faire with Joy and Michelle. We had a lot of fun. I got to throw axes, piss off a midway games carny, haggle on the price of feathers, and otherwise participated in much nonsense. We bumped into Kaitlyn,Mike,Shannon, and that other guy. Sorry dude, but you haven't introduced yourself to me I don't believe. In fact, come to think of it, you usually seem moody and skulky and don't seem to care to know me. But anyways, I really tried hard to seem non-chalant about engaging them in pleasantries and bid them good day when deep down inside I was screaming be my friend let me follow you all over the world. Later, we passed them again and I recalled that Evan had metioned Mike to me or something at the LARP on Saturday so I wanted to ask Mike if he had gotten any messages. At this point he seemed really annoyed by my presence and I immediately faded into jaded and retreated back. I felt a little hurt but perhaps he was busy or something. I tried to get a hold of Alex to ask a question about Eidolon, but he wasn't available. How many times I have wanted to see if he wanted to just hang out and game it up or something I do not know. Then there is Mat. He is really smart but seems to be Bi-polar. Who am I to say what a masters in Sociology is though. It is just that he is either really cold and detatched or excited and upbeat. It is hard to tell how any of these folks feel about me. I just want to be " part of the gang ". So far, it seems like the only one who has warmed up to me consisantly is is Marissa. I don't ever call her though. I don't imagine she gave me her number in the hopes I would remain a silent stranger, but I don't want to ruin whatever friendship is kindling just in case.
LARP stuff has been a boon and bane all the same lately. I am broke because of buying all the stuff necessary for foam weapons. Broke until Friday as far as I can tell. I need to get some hard leather and some tools to make a pouch. Perhaps some type of metal stud or rivets to fasten the leather.
My bed comes Friday, My check comes Friday, and I hope to get the order placed for By the sword Monday. That will get me some really cool stuff to wok with. Although I am considering changing course on my Designs for the outfit. Someone at the larp had similar clothing to that of Altair. now perhaps I should focus on cheaper clothing, but character specific such as Red and perhaps snooty in style. The bed though is the real treat. How often is it you find a discontinued model that you absolutely love? Not very and since it is discontinued, I have gotten it cheap. Huzzah!
Well, here is to hoping that you are all well, and that life pans out the greatest gifts to you. Goodnight, and Pip be with you.

Current Mood: determined

Friday I lifted weights with Emillio and was really sore. I need to drink more water.

Saturday I got my car checked and paid a bill, became lethargic and slept all day. Woke up and created character for LARP practice.

Sunday I went to LARP practice. Made a ton of new friends. Then to the 5 "C"'s for food. It was awesome. Then went to Denny's for drinks. It was fun too.

Monday I was sore head to toe. So I ate breakfast with Mish. The three of us went to Walnut to the anime store. Joy went to work. Went Rollerblading at the park. Climbed trees. Went to another park and rode the "Zip Zip Zoom" bar.Played scrabble with Mish and she beat me by one point. Both of us were within 10 of Genius level. She spelled "I IS GAY" with her tiles. Had lunch with Joy at BK. Bought myself three Irish shirts and some Guiness and Clover underpants. Went to movies. Saw "Jumpers". very cool.

Almost Tuesday Still sore. All in all a fun weekend. Can't wait for the next. Or payday. Or both! Yay for stuff!

The end.

Okay, I had a cool dream sort of. It is a ghost story.

Jacob had always been into skulking around places he shouldn't be. This one night he coaxed me into sneaking into and old house that he thought was abandoned. We sneaked into the house, it was dark, after messing around I went to find my friend who had separated from my location. upstairs in the master bedroom there was a giant blood stain by the vanity bathroom on the carpet. It looked really old. Still searching but a little scared I looked in the walk-in closet. a chill ran over me Suddenly a burst of white apparition flew through me and out the door back into the bedroom. When I went to run,I noticed the house was filled with belongings now as if it had not been abandoned. An old man screamed from down stairs " Who's there?!" as he turned up the stairs and saw me I gasped filled with terror. In his old eyes was a hate an evil older the time it seemed and I knew I had to escape. He started up the starts after me with his cane. " I'll get you just like your friend!" I ran to an anteroom and looked out the window, the pool wasn't far off. maybe I could jump. I tried and soaked, I hopped the fence and turned. The now dark house seemed as dark as it had before. Then the apparition appeared. "Save me, save me before he hurts me." After I found some courage I went back into the property. How do I get in? I thought, and the apparition jumped in the pool. Suddenly Jacob was there with me and says "I thin we need to follow it. That way we can both get out of this nightmare." once in the pool the apparition warned us that there would be a loop-ty loop in the drain and to keep on going no matter what. We went and just as it said we past the loop in the drain and surfaced inside in a spa like pool mere seconds before we had to start making constitution checks. As we moved back up the stairs, Jacob disappeared. I dashed to towards the room, no one was there when I turned the old man just like last time turned up the stairs and started up cane in hand. I dodged into the master bedroom and threw marbles at the floor trying to trip his creaky old ass. He kept coming with the grace of a hummingbird. Soon he held his cane high above his head and jacob was standing right where the blood stain was. I leaped and grabbed the cane. The old man was startled by my presence. He saw me and had a heart attack thinking I was vengeance incarnate. Then his wife came and comforted him as he was dying. Next thing I know, the stain is gone and the house remained furnished and the old woman had aged right before my eyes and looking at us said, "I knew one day you would bee back. Thank you for saving your friend." And then she passed on. Then I woke up.

So I had a ton of small ones and I am going to have to fill in the gaps of what my brain comprehended as the "connection" between them all and smooth it out into one large piece of weird. Here we go:

Jessica(Redtail), Joy, and Myself were all at this large dance in a building the size of the Anaheim Convention center. The party was going on for a while and we were all have a pretty good time. Yuki Kajiura was the composer for the evenings music so I imagine it was semi-formal at least. As things had started to wind down Mish arrives and says we should probably take off. We start to leave and something catches my attention. When I turn back everyone is almost to the vehicles we a young man asks me if I would escort him outside because he was concerned he was going to get jumped by some ruffians. We got out there and even though I was worried, they never showed and we parted ways. Not being able to find where I parked the girls all had to pick me up. The next day at School, a shy cute friend of mine was being harrassed by some rich beautiful preppy girls and I decided I would help here practice self-esteem and confidence building. So I tell her what to do when next confronted. Sure enough the two girls in question rolled up and started their assult when my friend said " Do you have an issue with Ketchup in your hair?" Quizzically the girls said "No?" Almost simultaneously and with that the torn ketchup packets she had been holdingsquirted and made two direct hits. The girls at first were shocked and as the terror turned to anger my friend, as instructed, stood up being half a foot taller than either and said " I would leave now if I were you." Joy and Mish were excited to see here so strong.

(this next segment is weird and jumps around but bare with me)

Joy and Redtail are sitting in an attic room of somewhere and we are all talking about tattoos. Redtail takes off her shirt( to reveal a man body ) and a strange tattoo on her left chest/shoulder area.(this is where it gets weird) I look at the alarm clock and noticed that even though it was a digital clock the face had fallen off. When I inspected it further the face reappeared and said it is time. With that I turned quick unprepared for whatever time it was.I stepped back. There was this taller asian girl with short hair.The clock started speaking in tounges and the girls hair went from purple to white in a quick blink of an eye. Here face contorted in to a maniacal look of stoic laughter as well when it changed. The clock was saying something about the time drawing near and when it turned back into KROQ, the girl in the blink of an eye went back to normal. The other two girls were still there but I couldn't see what they were doing or see if they saw what I saw because I was so transfixed and in a state of confusion/terror that my focus was on the weird happenings.


That's it for now! I have to go to work but I hope the crazy dream enlightens you all.

A few more days and we can put this catstrophe behind us. The holidays are always rough. For me, this year yielded no exception. I wasn't able to get anyone gifts because life comes at you fast. Rumor has it that if I bugeted my money well, I could save about 10K a year my friend says. That is enough to pay off my car. But here I sit the day of Christmas feeling crappy because I recieved yet did not give. I try to believe that next year will be much more positive. I try really hard.

"It was for the best."
He kept repeating this to himself as he wander into the tall woods that made up the southern reaches of the high forest. It was mid-day by now and the sun's rays filtered through the leaves coalescing into a vibrant green hue that gave the forest floor a tranquil glow. His stomach pangs were strong now for he hadn't had time to eat nor sleep from the eve's tumultuous chaos that hearkened in a new moment of peace for the majestic forest and all it's inhabitants. He stopped by a small patch of mushrooms growing near the base of a large redwood. It would have to do for the time being till he could hunt proper game. It was several Days till he would arrive back at his sect. Not that it would matter though, as the ever-curious nature of the Killoren born several adventures or reason to wander away and see the "Nature" of humans leaving only returning or maturing Killoren to keep the loose-knit group together.
After a few choice morsales he journeyed on, wanting to reach the lake country before nightfall. As comfortable as he was with his aspect, and how much he had trained with his sword couldn't prepare him for all the dangers the woodland had to offer. Unlike humans, Namaideth, as well as all Killoren knew that they were pretty low on the food chain. That was one irritable thing about humans. They are quick to believe they are the perfect race having amazing adaptability. Namaideth believed that it was a parasite, or some symbiote that caused humans to be so adept at adaptation and that is what concerns him the most. Surely they would see the awesome power of nature as a threat and as timid creatures they would find ways to remove it piece by piece till they could control it. Murder and Genocide on a lengthy timetable was more like it. Humans, he knew, weren't evil by nature. Namaideth even liked several. Inquisitive to a fault and mostly merry, never has a better eve been had than in a human tavern. They just lacked the foresight to make good judgment. For now he could set aside his concerns for he had struck a decisive blow against the ever-evolving threat.
His legs ached. The sun began to set and he reached a small elven village of XXXXX. He had hopes of passing through and setting up camp past but it wasn't going to happen. Freyatri will be very much angry with his move but his affairs were that of his people and her input would fall on deaf ears. "Your as bad as them!" she would say pointing out the several similarties in Killoren nature to that of a Human's. He seeked audience right away with her as he knew he would not be getting to sleep this eve until the matter had been debated. near the darker recesses of the village was where Freyatri kept a vigilant watch over her people. The grand entrance to the enchanting tree-home was overgrown with morning glories, now closed in the absence of light. It was always strange how cold the bright flowers seemed at night. Almost deathly and eerie. In complete contrast to the brilliant and soothing purples and yellows that blossomed each day with the morning Sun. He stepped in.
"Do you know what you have done?" came the soft melodic voice of Freya, her back to the entrance. She turned ever so slightly to acknowledge that she was in fact speaking to him.
"Prevented the destruction of several creatures' homes and helped prevent the wholesale slaughter of the Akavi goblins camping near the southern border." He raised an eyebrow, knowing that wasn't what she was looking for in his response.
"As well as incited a small war in which several people died for no reason..."
"Population control." He chimed
"...pop-?" She stuttered, "You arrogant little fool. You think it will be so easy?"she shook her head and sighed. "What happens when Heinrick needs a scapegoat for killing Korren?"
"Why would he?" asked Namaideth.
"Perhaps because his son's death was not reason enough to go slaughtering everything in his path. Because the king of XXXXX will not see it as a good enough reason." He remained silent as she carried on. " No, Namaideth. You may have not saved the Akavi. You may have doomed them." She was glaring at him now with her piercing green eyes. His stomach sank. He knew the words she wove painted a gray outcome indeed.

(more to come when I can think of how he could have missed such an oversight)

" Zailen, I understand your concerns. I know we have discussed at length ways to help avoid our encroachment into the high forest. Trust me, we have had plenty of trouble enough as is with the raids on our fields. As you have suggested I think it has been perpetrated by Lord Heinrick. As you know, we want nothing but peace. Unfortunately we need the lumber. Can we discuss possibilities of border expansion? "
-Sealed Korren Highcloud
"Son of Lord Heinrick,
I have the names of those who would betray your Father as you have requested. Meet me at the pre-determined location for the list and proof. I trust that the work between me and you remain undiscovered?"
-Sealed Namaideth
" Lord Heinrick,
Your son has been caught trespassing and found to be attempting to usurp my position by inciting mistrust and lies! His espionage has found him at the end of a guardsman's pike. We have left his body at the border on the north road. You may claim it there."
- Sealed with Korren's forged signet
" We will raze your lands and send you to the nine hells in nine pieces. This is an official proclamation of war."
- Sealed Lord Heinrick
" No discussion is needed, it is unfortunate that your business with Heinrick has began to rot. We will not allow your lands to expand. You have your hands full it would seem so I shall leave you to it. Farewell Korren, Farewell."
- Sealed Zailen



Namaideth shuddered as he watched the flames lick the horizon. From his vantage at the Way station the hues of yellow and orange danced like sprites in the rain, but to a much more violent and destructive chord. The air of the night had a bite to it that sank deep into Namaideth's figure. The way station was little more than four walls and a roof. The fireplace was the only solace from the wind. As much as he preferred the grass outside, Namaideth had been indoors to an insufferable amount of near-tolerance. So he crouched by the fire and waited.
He knew that the whole tapestry of deceit he had woven could fall apart if Heinrick had a cool head, but by the gods and fire in the distance he had succeeded. It took a mere few days to plot. The execution was the hard part. Playing his role as "Zailen" to Korren had nearly been enough, but the old man would not see that he had gone too far with his push north. "Goblins, always the reliable sort." he thought to himself as he sat down and contemplated his actions. The goblin's had naturally started to raid the fields of their own accord. And with a few hints and false words the blame fell on that of Heinrick, Korren's neighboring Lord. And then there was Heinrick's son, a faithful watchdog for his father. Watching at the bottom of rum bottles in taverns. Having had a bad reputation for starting fights, he would do anything to stay in his Father's good graces, or at least his pockets. The public notices found on his body had been expensive but necessary and no one would know who had killed him. The puzzle had been torn up meticulously. The pieces would never match. Namaideth grinned.

(There is a whole novel in the works^^. I just need to think of a story)

So work. I don't like being angry with people. It doesn't suit me. I am afraid my boss has ignored his duties far too long and needs to be dealt with harshly...

...No, I am not going to do anything crazy or something. Just give him a scolding and shove his nose in the S^*( that he has created and ssay "Bad Kurt, bad. Go lay down!"

I await the weekends so strongly that I swear time speeds up. I have learned to shut myself down through the week. I think it is like being institutionalized. You just fall into a pattern so regular that the lack of deviation creates a void where your subroutines process.
This weekend:

I am Legend
Sushi Bar
DnD
Sleep

almost in that order even. I might throw in some games but I would much rather break the cycle and try going to a social event that might bump me into the girl of my dreams lest she not be the Canadian I feel deeply for. But I am not sure if that is mutual interest that drives that fancy or if it is truly "The one" type of thing. She does want to go to Pitt-con, or whatever we end up doing as nerdcore. So that will be nice.
Well, I hope all is well in the world of my friends be them real, online, or other.
Say hello to the person next to you for me^^!
