From the Ashes We Rise

Posted by Shades on 26th October 2009

Hi everyone =) It’s been a while, no?

School’s been so hectic lately, and that seems to be the only thing I have been focusing on. It also feels like time had stopped and I had been given a 2nd chance to live. You see, I’ve been feeling so out of it the last couple weeks, and this past Tuesday, it felt like I had become a zombie. I had to be taken to ER because I had lost my conscience to live.

I had been struck with pneumonia shortly after getting bronchitis, which then led to loss of breath, and many other bad things.

I had spent from last Tuesday through Friday in the hospital being treated for my illness. Needless to say, it was sad being away from home all those days, but at least it had payed off as I feel like new again. Though the only bit of trouble I have is trying to walk around, as my meds do have their own side effects.

In other news, it is the last week of October, and it feels like it just started D: Ah well. I guess I can look forward to Halloween since it is on a Saturday this year, and I have the day off =)

That’s about it for now. It is time for me to run along to another long day of class … x.x

Time for a semi-update

Posted by Shades on 3rd August 2009

Well, I guess it’s time I mention what I’ve been up to this whole time. :P

And now it is time to go to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep z.z; @ 1:30am D:

Fly High……

Posted by Shades on 13th December 2008

touch the sky … never knew the reason why it dies ….

Artist :: Helloween
Album :: Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1 (remaster)
Song :: Victim of Fate

So once again, here I am sitting inside a Starbucks being bored out of my fucking mind and pissed off at the same time. (like that’s anything new, right?). As you all might know, I’m usually Shy when it comes to trying to find a guy to be with. Now, being a member of a few forums, it’s made me a little more open to things and what not …. but now it feels like things are somehow rolling back to the way they were. Why is it happening, I have no clue.

Now, don’t get me wrong and all that. Everyone I talk to in the IRC is are like my best buds and all, yet there is something in between me and them which makes me feel somewhat isolated nowadays. I meet people, become friends with them, and then somewhere along the lines, something rolls around and makes things feel like they shouldn’t be there. For instance, why can’t I be the one to converse with people, why can I not feel like I’m getting something accomplished by making new friends…. why?

I hope the answer shows itself soon. and for the meantime, I am going to disappear for an indefinite ammount of time to try and figure myself out. So ….. laters.

*checks in from the Abyss*

Posted by Shades on 4th June 2008

well, I know it’s been a couple months since my last blog entry … but Dragon627 told me i should start blogging again <.< so yeah, I’ll give you guys an inside view as to what’s been going on these past 3 months.

life in general has been happening >.> bought the latest Helloween CD “Gambling With the Devil” a few weeks ago and am listening to it a lot. such awesome music.

I attended FAnime, an anime convention in San Jose, CA that goes through Memorial Day weekend. had a blast. I got my psp modded, which I am really stoked about. I can finally throw my old PSX away D: … I met with some of my newest friends in Livermore, which is a really awesome place to have friends. Also throughout the convention, I finally got the chance to meet one of my buddies that used to frequent AnimeOST forums and IRC. Yeah, LegendKiller is awesome =)

And just the other day … I got Final Fantasy VIII to run on my CFW psp, though it crashes on some occasions, which is a real bummer. but hey, at least it runs, right? :3

here is a screenshot of FFVIII running on the psp:

Squall Leonhart conversing with Headmaster Cid Kramer

other than what was mentioned above, nothing else has been going on really. ~ off to play more Final Fantasy VIII~!

3. Going to lots of Conventions
4. Owning everyone on Super Smash Bros.  Brawl next month upon its release :P :P

I’m Going Crazy … Part 2

Posted by Shades on 1st December 2007

np :: Buck TickSix/Nine (1995)04KODOU

well, nothing to report other than being alive … I guess. I just don’t feel the same after what went on last night, although it wasn’t anything bad.

Thankfully nothing went on between us to to the point in making it the final time we’d be together. And I am sure that I might have mentioned this in my previous entry … but now that I have him in my life as one of my only friends, I’m as happy as can be.

What really sucks is that I basically gave my life saying what I did last night, leaving me with a very slim chance at thinking of what was going to go on from there …

Am I forcing myself to become a different person than I was many years ago? Maybe. Only time will tell when it is indeed time.

 

[a note about the song :: Even if you aren't a fan of Buck Tick, I highly advise you give the song a listen for the emotion that revolves within]

I’m Going Crazy …

Kuruisou da … Kuruisou da …

Well … tonight was cool yet awkward. Today I’ve been wanting to take my friend out to dinner with me so that we could also hang out and such. As he came to my place, we played a bit of Melty Blood: Act Cadenza on my comp before heading out to dinner. Needless to say, I got whooped like 80% of the time, hehe …. but it was very fun nonetheless. As we got to where we were going to have dinner, we both just start talking about things even I can’t seem to remember at this point. After having a very delicious dinner, though, I pull out a note of what I wanted to say to him, and pretended to read it .. until he almost took it from me, did I toss it to him for him to read.

So he does read it, and before he says anything, I told him to stay quiet about it, because I was sure on what he was going to say about it. So then I thank him for being a really cool friend, and that I really do appreciate all the times we hang out and stuff. After we’re finished paying and everything (we tipped the guy with the remaining change from our bill; which I felt was needed considering how awesome he is), we head on over to my truck to talk a bit more of what went on between the other Trevor I’m sure you all knew about, and myself.

At that point I was about to go crazy, as I did not know how to say what I wanted to say … and almost started crying just talking about it with him … But you know, this guy is extremely awesome, because he’s so understanding and it makes me very happy just being around him now. Letting out all my problems from the last few months in front of him made me feel so much better, and I am really glad for that.
