    SO first and foremost. Sorry for the extreme fucking absence. Shit happened. Life happened. Way too much happened, both good and bad. I've loved, lost, and gotten laid in between all that. SO I guess let's start with the "What's new?" section.

    I have a girlfriend, yes one of those again, this one has lasted over 2 years though. So progress. Especially to anyone who ever read my previous journal entries where I bitched about being single and unloved. Though we have our problems, a lot, so ya know. Ups and downs. More on those later. Anyways her name is Ashley for future reference. But upside is that we also live together so I did finally get out of my grandma's place.

    I have grown out my facial hair. Not like Gandalf status but still kinda rugged. Possibly sexy rugged. I'll leave those opinions to others. I'l post a picture sooner or later.

    There is SOME sad though. My pretty kitty Princess, pretty sure I've talked about her on here, passed away about 2 years ago. Sadly she kinda went off to die alone. Which of course I was and still am sad about it. I would have rather held her in her last moments and let her know she was loved. I later learned that cats just do that sometimes because they don't want to make us sad but I can't say I liked it. I still would have rather been with her in her last moments.

    I have gained a new kitty after her passing because that's how I cope. His name is Ganondorf, and he is an orange tabby, kinda like Broly (btw Broly got FAAAAAAAT) but Ganon is fluffier in terms of hair. He's a feisty lil asshole. Pics to follow. Broly also lives with my grandma now because she got attached to him even though I still consider him my cat. I also kinda gained a new kitty too with my girl. She has cat who is named Salem and he is black kitty and he is adorable talker. Though he ALWAYS asking for food EVEN when the GODS DAMNED FOOD BOWL IS FULL!!! Cheeky little bastard. My cat just attacks feet and is always grumpy.

    I have managed to join a wonderful group of people known as the Horsemen of Judgment Keep. They are a warband group in what is known as the SCA or Society for Creative Anachronism. Long story short it's kind of like a Ren Fair type deal. I am a Heavy Fighter, as in I get up in leather armor (made by me, though I had tremendous help making it) and essentially beat/fight on other like minded individuals with "swords" made from rattan (a type of bamboo) and it's fun and leaves bruises and it's FUCKING FUN!!! Though lately due to my current job, making practice and being able to spend time with these people I love so dearly and can drink and party with has been a fucking hard time. 

    I also discovered another sister I have. Her name is Faith. This one is about a few or so years younger than me, but was sadly not found til about a year or so ago. Sadly she wasn't raised in the best or nice parts of my city so of course she was a teen mom who had a kid at like 16. I also have a nephew. His name is Ronnie and at the time of this writing he is 4 and he is such an adorable little guy. I still sadly have trouble making trouble for my sister and nephew so I don't get to see them often either. But I do try. 

    Speaking of job, I do not remember the last time I talked about work or such on here but I am working, probably not the same job I mentioned since I last posted on here. Anyways I work a retail type gift shop but we also engrave on shit. SO I can do things like put your name or a big ol F Bomb on a cup, glass, knife, watch, etc. It's interesting but like any retail type job is can and does suck so much ass because shitty customers.

    Last but not least, progress on that story thing I was supposed to be writing. Very little but some progress. Especially when I got like 2 or 3 types of stories planned. But I'm hoping to work on it more and finish it before I'm like fucking 80 lol. Honestly it just depends on how busy I am and whether I get the urge to write and whatnot plus whether I got mad writers block going on. 

    Well. That's it. I can't promise I'll be on everyday. If at all. Who knows. I'll try but let's see how long that shit lasts lol. 

Still alive. Still working lol. Anything new? Well I got the new Nintendo 3DS with the C-stick, a PS Vita, Majora's Mask for 3DS, annnnnd....a new laptop. I did not buy the laptop myself lol. My grandma did. It was random and I didn't expect it, but I ain't complaining. Anyways, I just set it up now and I'm downloading League of Legends at this moment. I also saw Age of Ultron, did not get to midnight show it because work schedule, but I did see it opening weekend. I'd write more, but I'm tired...soooo....maybe next time.

Alrighty then, just so you know...I am STILL alive. Why I haven't been posting anything lately? Well, aside from the usual laziness, I managed to recently get a job. Sooooo...I'm sure those of you with lives can understand. Anyways, my hours are from 4AM to 12:30PM right? So, I've had to fuck my sleeping schedule around so I wake up between 1-2AM and my bed time is somewhere between 5-7PM....only days I have off are the weekends currently. After the next 3 weeks though, I can try and get a more normal schedule, like a 9 to 5 kinda thing. Also, got my first paycheck, and I'm broke XD
Yep. I dropped $80 on the new Dark Souls 2: Scholar of The First Sin for Xbox One, and some Live time. And then dropped $30 on platinum for Warframe. And then along with a few trips to Taco Bell, and a $124.25 bill at Famous Dave's (an expensive barbecue restaurant for those who have questions) because I treated myself and my friends out to eat....yeah. So that happened XD
Do I regret it? NOPE. I enjoyed it. ^_^
So, yeah, I'm not gonna tease you anymore abut me working on writing because I am seriously behind on my own schedule I set for myself that it's not funny anymore. Sooooo....when it's out, it's out. Anyways, have a good one all. I hope you're doing great.

Just so you all know....I'm still alive. Not much is different with life so long story short, I'm ok and stuff. I'm still working on my fanfic...writing is still pretty hard. Good news is, I am almost done with chapter 1. Sorry it's taking so long XD
BUT, I am getting better at the creative process. I am getting more ideas and whatnot, I am just having trouble with motivation or I get distracted by the internet...which is funny. I have a story map planned out though, and character ideas, along with story ideas as well. SO it's coming along fairly well, even if slow. Just figured you peeps would care to know and stuff. Have a good one guys. 

Well, it's kinda late...but it is about 10:40PM now on January 7th of 2015....and today at around 2:00PM earlier today the old man was buried. He buried at one of the veteran cemeteries in California (since that's where I live), because as he was a veteran back in the day during WW2 and whatnot, he was lucky enough to get full honors and whatnot to his funeral. It was a fairly nice, and short funeral. It was open casket. Not gonna lie, throughout the whole day me and the guys kept cracking jokes and whatnot. Why? Dunno....either we're assholes, or we just didn't wanna feel sad today by any means so we did our thing and just kept saying shit to keep our spirits up I guess. The old man looked kinda like draugr from Skyrim in the casket. Aside from the joking we made today, we got to put the casket in the hearse on the way to cemetery, and then as we got there the military people there took over unloading him and whatnot. They fired off the gun a few times. It scared the shit outta Jon. Kinda funny. I think what made it not as....feelsy today, was because it was so short. Aside from that, it was...well...kind of a dull day...dunno why. Isn't my first time being at a funeral. But it's the first time I've been at a funeral where I was actually involved in someone's life to a degree, even if I didn't like being around the old man as much (not out of hatred or anything, I'm just an antisocial prick to 90% of the world lol) we were in each others lives. he married my grandma, and I took up a space in his house whether he liked it or not. And he liked it. Why? Dunno....he was a genuinely nice guy, more so than I'll ever be. Not to be hard on myself, but it's true...I'm an asshole, a nice asshole, an asshole you like, even though I talk a lot of shit, but an asshole nonetheless. Him...well, he was the nicest guy I could say I've ever met. He married my grandma, let me and her into his home before that even became a thing, and then took in 3 of my friends into our home. Did my grandma on whim take in my friends when they had nowhere to go? Honestly, no, I mean she was cool with it, but the first one to say "Well let him live here!" was always the old man before my grandma could even think about asking. I don't know if I could ever be that nice...I mean I probably could, but ya know...I'm different. I don't even know why I started this journal...probably cuz I haven't said shit on here for a few days. Yeah...I'm still looking for a job, and I'm still trying to do other things with life....yeah. Am I sad? Kinda...I think it's hitting me now that I'm in my room alone, at night. The old man wasn't much to me, I won't lie...but he was a lot to my grandma...why I care, I have no idea. guess I cared more than I'd like to admit. The house is quieter now without him yelling random things at the tv or the dogs. I'm used to it already, but I still think I'm gonna run into him at times in the morning. I can't say I'll miss him specifically, because I had no real bond with him, but I will say I kinda miss his presence at least. I don't know...maybe I will miss him just a bit. Sorry if this is really depressing. I guess i needed to say something somewhere. Well, aside from that...thanks guys. Hope your day, week, or whatever goes good. Or at least better than my days. Not to say my day sucked, but I can't say it was a glorious day of majesty now can I? I mean, I was at a funeral for fuck's sake lol. Yeah..have a good one you guys.
