So yes I know that I've been shirking my responsibilities in keeping up this blog but meh what are YOU gonna do about it?!
...
I see. Well then, I'll make more of an effort shall I?
Some good news. I'm Applying to 7 or so universities for Education! Hopefully one of em will have pity and accept me. For those who are curious, I'm applying to STU, (not holding up much hope for acceptance but my 'rents insist that I should despite the odds,) UNB, MUN, Presque-Isle, Mount St-Vincent, UPEI... and... um, I think that's it. I'll have to check my forms. So wish me luck y'all!
Christmas was not too shabby. I think that it was made better than usual with the little ones. Jordyn just had her second X-mas whereas little Ethan got his first. Jordyn is begining to realize what it's all about and even says "ho ho ho" when she sees a white bearded man; NOT just Santa. I tell ya that was some cute when I heard that. Even the stranger laughed and said ; "Yes, I suppose I do look like Santa." Keep in mind this happen after christmas.
But alas, like always Christmas HAS to go. Never understood that. I keep hearing that, "if christmas was every day or whatever then we'd miss the point of christmas." What the hell kind of sense does that make? We appreciate peace on earth only a particular time of the year and the rest its back to killing each other. Yeah that's it I missed the point. Phew glad you could keep me straight. Fuck I hate humanity.
Anyhoo, it's suppertime then if it's still on, D&D @ Jamies.
'Peace' out

The morning after the job for Nevitash was one that both Chet Armcloud and Tey Drin were not really looking forward to. Considering how they're previous job ended the reprecussions for failing Nevitash seemed less appealing. They were, however, allowed to arrange accomodations with him rather than spend the night over their true employer; the headmaster of Morgrave University, Larian ir'Morgrave. Chet, opting for caution, decided it best to remain with the employer they knew, albeit briefly, rather than the one they didn't. Before confronting Nevitash, Tey and Chet thought it best to clear their heads and walk the City of Towers. They went over to get some breakfast in the Market. Chet insisted to pay Hommage to his God Dol Arrah for thanks in what transpired the night previously and for the day ahead.

mood: nerdy music: World of Warcraft - Seasons of War

That's RIGHT! Only one week away from Halloween, excessive amounts of candy and the much anticipated Final Fantasy XII. I've been waiting for a new FF ever since the dismal disapointment that was X-2. The one thing that made that game trully dismal was the Charlies Angels ripped-off theme of a storyline. They make a sequel to a really good game, but they don't make a 'playable' sequel to the best, which is of course VII. It also marked the first time that I was trully disapointed in a Final Fantasy game, with "Dirge of Cerberus," coming up close behind. (although to be fair, "Dirge" wasn't a real RPG nor can I count it as a true sequel despite all indications to the contrary.)
Hopefully that will all change with the graphic eyecandy that is FF XII. And it's out in a week! Dammit I want it to be now!

First and foremost I'd like to thank everyone who gave me a birthday shout out, be it on time or belated, it doesn't matter to me! Thank you all! For those that are curious, From Crystal and Ethan, I got X-Men: the last stand, (big surprise huh?) and I got The Blue Collar Commedy Tour. From Michelle and Jordyn I got Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince in soft cover to update my collection; I'm gonna start re-reading 'em soon, can't wait! I also got some Skittles and Lindor Chocolates from them too. From the Folks, I got a a bunch of clothes; new jeans, two pair of shoes, t-shirts, pj's, shirts... OH! I almost forgot that my mother said she'd pay the difference thats left on Final Fantasy 12 when it comes out on Nov. 1st. I thought I had already done that but I went to check a week ago at EB games and apparently I didn't.
There wasn't a whole hell of a lot of things I really wanted this year. Well that's not entirely true. I need to wait for christmas to have the other things though. Such as the DVD's of Pirates 2 and Superman Returns. I also want some D&D books. Some are already out but two in particular are coming out in November Eberron's Dragonmarked and D&D's Cityscape.
Anyhow I'm prattling on here. Again thanks to everyone and I'll see ya soon! I may drop into school tomorrow since I apparently have the day off! Sweet!

mood: Presents, presents!!!!!

Yup. It's my birthday. Oct 20th 1980 was the day/year so that makes me 26. Wow... time flies. I remember my birthday from my first year at university still four year ago. Today I had to work... yay. But I also get to spend the afternoon/evening with my sisters and their kids! Both Ethan and Jordyn will be making an appearance So I'm happy about that!

Monday was fun. I got to play my Character from Jamie's Forgotten Realms Campaign that he'll be runnin'. He's doing a prequel kind of thing right now since he wants us to start at around lvl 4 and is offering his players to have pre-sessions before we start the main campaign. Kyle and Romard were there too and we met up in-game as well. I won't spoil what character they are, they can post it if they want, but my character was a blast to play. See I'm a new race that was introduced in the past few years in another D&D campaign setting. I'm part of a race called the Warforged. Think medieval sentient robot. The Warforged are sentient -- or self aware -- golems made up of a skeleton comprised of wood, and an exoskeleton made of metal and stone. I'm a different variation of Warforged called Psiforged that also has crystals imbedded in his armor. His name is Cognisance, or "Cog" for short. He is quite ignorant of the outside world, being cooped up in his master's lair since his activation and his innocence is shown by asking the other party members these assinating string of questions just like a kid would trying to understand how things are the way they are. As he experiences the real world he'll become more "normal."

Anyhoo that's all for me at the moment. Ethan's awake and I wanna hang with my godson.

mood: Happy Birthday to Me!

Gyah. I have to update this baby more often.
Most of you know I LOVE dragons. Doesn't matter if its drawn, statues, animated, whatever. I LOVE DRAGONS! D&D recently came out with these two massive dragons for their Minis game and I got the black one not too long ago. It's awesome but it's nothing compared to the Colossal Red Dragon they release shortly after the the black one. Its huge! And purdy and deadly-lonkin' and I loves it very, very much!
This past weekend I was lucky enought to be invited to Dr Schutz's Anglo-Saxon Feast day, considering I was there last year. I got there a tad later than I would have liked but I got there around 2-ish and everyone had just finished preparing their homemade bread and were letting it rise. I got there just in time to prepare the chickens. The highlight for me is the roasting of several chickens on a spit over an open fire. And who'd a thunk had to do the turning? ME! Had fun too, all I had to do was sit and turn the Chickens over and over the fire, and contend with the oppressive heat given off by the fire and Dr. Schutz's wacky-yet-cool, rocket scientist (literally) of a husband, tinkering with the fire to make it "bigger." Hence, HOTTER.

HAPPY TURKEY DAY TO ONE AND ALL!

Ok. I glad that I've feasted on a bird known as a Turkey. Why? I hate em. Seriously they freak me out. Especially their call. *Shudders* I think it has to do with me being swarmed by a bunch of them when I was little. They're psycho, crazy even... what does that say about me when I enjoy eating them and take a gleeful and insidious joy in the fact that there is one less Turkey in the world to freak me out. hmmm... me crazy? eeep.

Also had the young'uns over for the feast. Jordyn was more fascinated by the candles that were lit; "Oooh-ing" constantly and otherwise being extremely cute. Ethan who is stubborn enough NOT to smile when everone BUT his Godfather (that's me!) talks "baby" to him. (proud am I? Fuck yeah!)

Also, for those who need a costume for Halloween frivolity, or you otherwise wanna have fun dressing up, my offer to chauffeur (at least SOME of you) to my mom's costume shop is still open. It should be done soon, perhaps next Saturday? How 'bout the market first then costumes? Anyhoo those who are interested lemme know. I shall get a hold of those that were interested early next week to touch base. Later!

mood: Evil turkey's... DIE!

Heyo everyone. Been a while, huh? So it would apear that work is tighter than usual and decideds to take away internet priviledges by installing a security patch of some sort and makes everyone single computer in that place unable to access the internet. Right good one. Eventually the brass will regain their internet capabilities but not us alas. As a result these posting will be tad bit more irregular.

Updates; I've been watching the hell out of 'Lost.' I've seen episodes here and there but never actually got into it. A friend of mine who owns both seasons practically twisted my arm to take his copies and watch em. Yeah, I get the hype. This is pretty friggin entertaining! Not to mention intense as all hell. Can't wait til next wednesday! Season premier, woot!

********************Eberron*********************
Okee. You know the drill. If you guys can let me know your schedules so that we can possibly get a D&D session going on that would ROCK! I know you guys want it as much as I do! :P I say right now that I can't do next Tues... unless EVERYONE can only do
Tuesday then I'll see what I can do.

Cheers!

mood: only a little drained...

The end is nigh for my Star Wars Character. I guess the only question is how it's gonna happen. Being a Jedi at the time of the Jedi Purge my chances aren't great for survival. Yet still I COULD make it. Regardless last night's SW session was a blast! Complete with Droids, AT-AT's, and Dragons! That's right, Dragons baby! OK, it was only one but still a dragon! But when it came down to the application of the infamous 'Order' it was exciting as it was sad. Clone troopers that accompanied us since the begining of our adventuresturned on us and were killed. That said not much left to do except go to Corruscant because we recieved an emergency Jedi return signal instructing all Jedi to return to the Jedi Temple...
There was a small price to pay for the great geekery that was last night. I got home a tiny bit late and now this morning I'm having great difficulty keeping my eyes open. Meh. Small sacrifice to pay for Star Wars!

mood: Exhausted but innergeek happy

Sweet! After a prolonged absence, I return to my Star Wars Character tonight! Funny thing is, or not so funny anymore, I Haven't lvl'd Corad since last session NEED to level Corad. I WAS gonna do it yesterday, but alas, another form of geekery took away my attention. Yes it was Wednesday yesterday and that means it was Comic book day and it was quite the release I must say. At the top of the pile in oh-my-friggin-god goodness would be Astonishing X-men *drools* and finally the 4th issue of Marvel's Civil War *drools some more*. Thats at the TOP of the heep. The rest isn't bad at all and thus the reason why Corad still isn't leveled up yet.
I must say though that I'm quite excited for tonight, considering is near the end of the road for my Jedi. As fun as he was to play and the fun I had playing him with the rest of the group, I find my excitement growing for the next SW RPG, not to mention Jamie's Forgotten Realms RPG. But I'm getting ahead of myself first there's Corad and the Purge that I have to go through...

Every so often at the wonderful world that is a call center monkey's life, you get those calls that annoy the hell out of you. Who am I kidding that happens a hell of a lot more often than that. Anyhoo people call in and they ask for such and such hotel for such and such dates. But OH NO! They've been possessed! NO! It's worse! Machines and computers have taken over their minds; it has started! The begining of the end! To what is this crazy person talking about? When morons on the phone find it easier to instead of giving me the date and month of when they are checking in they go digital, or some stupid shit like that, and give me the numerical equivilent to the month. Dunno what I mean? You know, like on the expiration date of a credit card; the numbers 1 through 12 representing the months. Why the fuck is it thought that giving me the number for the month they want to come in? it drives me up the god damn wall it annoys me so much. Frig, I cannot comprehend why people do that. Give me the NAME you dumb fucks! You know those twelve names that you learnt before you dropped out of kindergarden to become an illiterate stupid excuse for a human being??? Bah!

mood: grumpy

Sunday is looking pretty good for the next session. In a perfect world, I'd want all my pc's there but It is looking like that may not be the case this time around. (something that will happen on more than one occasion I'm sure.)
However, this is what I propose before I green light the Sunday session; if all you guys can get me your schedules for next week, perhaps we can all plan a little later than this Sunday? Or if you guys are tired of waiting and simply want to go ahead with Sunday then that's cool too. In either case lemme know soon and we'll have our next session! If it is this Sunday I'm thinking about 7:00-ish.
Later all!

Stupid engrossing storyline taking me away from the game I LURV so friggin much... Yeah, I caved. I know I posted yesterday that I wouldn't play either 'Xenosaga' or 'Cerberus' until AFTER I was done FF7. That didn't happen. At least 'Cerberus' is still in the shrinkwrap. But I was curious about the other and as a result of my curiosity I was up 'til 2am. Ugh. Tired.

For anyone that would like to know, I'm on Campus again today after work (say 3-ish, or a little later) for the STEEDS meeting that got "canceled" on Monday. See ya there!

mood: My geeky-ness made me tired!

ON the one hnd it was a sad day for me and on the other ir wasn't at all. And of course I'm exagerating. Yesterday saw the end of my days of an XBOX owner. Yep that's right I returned that puppy including all corresponding system games to E.B. After all was tallied, I had 130$ worth of store credit to use. And use I did! I got Xenosaga III and the Final Fantasy VII; Dirge of Cerberus plus I got the guide to Xenosaga III. In total it only cost me 1.11$ for all that! So once I'm done playing FFVII, I got two other games to play. Not to mention FFXII that's coming out in November. Oye.
Yesterday was also cool becasue its the first time I've been to school since it began. I must say it was a tad strange being there and not needing to be. I was there for the STEEDS meeting that apparently got rescheduled due to TST meeting in the same location and same time as the one I was going to. But not everyone -- including me -- got that message and Nick gave an impromtu little meet and greet. The meeting got resheduled for wednesday at 5:00 or 6:00. I'm not sure when exactly they first said 6 then may have settle at 5. In anycase dunno if I HAVE to be there again but it's a good excuse to be on campus I suppose. ;-) Auditions for DR. Faustus are this weekend and they need 25 or so people so come one and all to em! (talk to Kate for more details on it.)

mood: tired

After a small sacrifice of waking up too early for my liking on a sunday, and attending 'church' for the first time since my sister Michelle's wedding, I is a Godfather. I say Church in brackets because there was no actual mass to go with it just the christening ceremony which lasted about 30 mimutes or so. The ceremony itself was done at St Dunstan's Cathedral, the church right in front of the Market. Baby Ethen didn't make a peep once the water was poured over his head. He was dozing in and out prior to it and the rush of semi-cold water being poured on his mostly bald head woke him up with eyes wide open but not a peep. He had this, "Man this water is COLD," look, a semi-frown that was pointed toward the mother; blaming her no doudbt for the cold bath she's apparently giving him. So yeah I'm excessively proud of my godchild *blushes,* got his a card and a christening gift that was nothing more than this little Cartoony-ish Guardian angel statue "From godfather to godson."

Yeah. Appologies to my Eberron Playas, I was told that the shindig-ery that would follow could -- and did -- last all day and into the evening. ***********Refer to Saturday's post for rescheduling details.*************

I got a another copy of Final Fantasy VII. I still can't seem to find mine which perplexes me to no end. but I have to have my fix of it so I borrowed a friend's copy. I turned my room inside out finding it to no avail... yet. Bad side of the coin; can't find my copy of FF7. Good side; I'm at least getting my FF7 fix!

I think the opporative word here is, *Ahem* SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

mood: complacent

Ookay... Apparently sunday ain't gonna cut it. So Here's What I'm gonna do. Let's say either Tues, Thurs or Fri of next week at around 630. Tell which days are better for you guys.
Cheers!

mood: mellow

Not that my Eberron postings don't merrit the classifications of 'postings' not everyone cares about when the next session is so here by an update on my meagre existence. I'm afraid there's not much to go on but...

Just a few more days and then I'll be Ethan's Godfather! I'm really excited, you have no idea! But I got it in my head that I have to look presentable and therefore I must cut some of this wild hair off my noggin'. (Yeah KJ and Romard, I didn't get it cut...) So that's on the list of things to do later today. Also have to get the little guy a card and a little present. What do you get an infant for their christening?

So it has come to my attention, mostly by my mother asking me what I wanted, that my birthday is approaching. Ick. I'll be 26. The age doesn't bother me at all. but the fact that I'm getting older and seemingly not going anywhere with my life is knawing at me. Here's to hoping that I'll get in somewhere next year!

But, with my birthday coming soon only means that Halloween is fast approach thereafter. Everyone picked out there costumes yet?! Anyone need any? In case any of you forgot, my mother has a Costume shop and like a couple of years ago we can have a dress up day. I guess this should also mean IF there's a shindig to go to... IS anyone gonna throw a celebration of sorts in honor of All Hallow's Eve? Or is that simply too far off at the moment to worry? I've been thinking of ideas for what to be if I were to need a costume and well I'm getting excited for Oct 31st.

Well anyhow that's it for me. Have 'fub' at school everyone!

mood: excited

So I'm getting the impression that this Sunday evening would be good for most people. Lets say around 6:30-ish? Lemme know!

mood: excited

I'm not setting another date for Eberron until I get a go ahead from everyone that your all settled in nice into your new school routines. So, if you guys could first tell me if your all ok to go adn since we're here, what are your schedules like for next week. I'll tell ya right off the bat that this Sunday is no good for me, not until at least the evening.
Lemme know, peeps!

Sure I may have fudged the answers, but I'm Cloud Dammit!

EDIT: I tried to be honest and did the quiz as 'I' am. AND guess what?! It would appear that I'm Cloud anyway! Who'd a thunk it? =P
