August 24, 2006 : Crossing the Line

It's funny, no, it's fucking hilarious. Anytime and I mean ANYTIME I try to something nice for anyone that's not in my intimate friend circle, it backfires, horribly.

Take for instance, my latest endevour. Little Split Keyblader over at OB decided he was gonna write himself a story. So I thought, "Hmm, new writer, maybe I'll give it a shot and help him out, just like people helped me out."

Well, look what it turned into for me. I wasted 2 hours on the little shithead's piece of shit, wading through the horrible grammar and syntax, correcting every little thing. I was quite content with myself, having done a future writer a good deed. Of course, staying up 'till 2 in the morning because I had other stuff to attend to, along with getting up at 5:30 this morning really doesn't help.

Little did I know how much I'd come to regret that mistake. I sign in today, scrolling down to the Antho to see if he'd replied and I get not only the one thing I didn't want to see, I also see a certain member stepping up on a pedastal he shouldn't be on. You know, why am I gonna stick this asshole behind a censor? Tical Blue, you all know him and most likely don't like him.

*saves his Tical rant for afterwards*

Anyway, I get a, "You used too big words. Tical helped better. Besides, the font you used was too small.". I could've shot him then and there. Luckily, I calmly responded and instead turned on Tical.

My exact words, "SK: I changed the font size. Just out of curriosity, what grade are you in?

Tical: Yeah, that's like expecting a dog that pees all over the house to learn on its own not to pee all over the house. You cannot learn from your mistakes if someone doesn't point them out to you or at least show you the correct way.

Plus, just encouraging him, doesn't help either. Again with the dog example, it just leads him to commit the same mistakes over and over again. Keep that in mind next time you just write, "Great Work" or "Awesome job.".

PS: I would not step too far up on your pedestal Tical. Your stories are nothing to gawk at and your writing/syntax aren't up to par either. Your spelling sucks as well, so get over yourself. You're not great. You're subpar, if that, to alot of people here."

I'm a very nice person by nature. So I didn't respond by flamming the shit of Tical, but if he continues I will. I'm sorry, but what he's doing is mean and wrong. It's encouraging him in the wrong way. Telling him how to di it wrong.

Like so many parents these days...but that's none of my buisness. All I know is, if Tical wants a fight, he's getting one from me.

August 12, 2006 : Mi Mi Mi Mi Mi!

You are given a word, and you have to come up with five songs that contain that word in the title. Music! Words! So Caitlin gave me special, so:

Frankfort Special - Elvis Presley
Party of Special Things to Do - The White Stripes
Special - Janet Jackson
Special Kind of Something - S Club 7
You Are Special - Barney *

*Because, I'll be damned if Barney wasn't smoking something everytime he sang this song. XD

If anyone wants a word, leave a comment and I'll think up something good for ya. ~_^

August 06, 2006 : Can't Keep the Boy From the Fight

Catching Up

You know, it seems like I can never find the need or the want to post here lately and it's been with good reason.

You know, my last post, I think I was still trying to come down off the incredibly low cloud I was on. As much as I thought, "Great! I've found people I can hang out with who don't give a shit about what's on the outside and are possibly more annoying than me..." it really wasn't true.

Yeah, the group rocks, I'm not saying that at all. But it was, as I said, a group, a big one at that and I needed more than that, which I found out the month in between the time the group's meetings. Although a couple of the people, (the ones who pulled me in in the first place), went to my school and I hung out with them at lunch, I could tell, I really didn't fit in as well. All of them were Visual Kei'ers and I'm not. I don't think I could make all those colors work and I don't like screwing with my hair too much.

So I started to feel shut out again, in just the smallest way. It wasn't until the next meeting, where we went camping, that I realized two things.

As we finished hanging around on the meadows along the Neckar (the river that runs through Heidelberg), I slowly started to feel that creeping sense of, "I'm going to get ignored tonight.", although I didn't realize it at first. As we got to the train station and realized we'd gotten off a station too late, we had to walk to the camp grounds.

It was there I met Lukrezia (Anna 1) and Anna 2/Riku. We started talking about Kingdom Hearts and then decided that I was Donald, Luk was Sora, Anna 2 was Riku and Janine, someone I'd met at the last meeting, was Roxas. We then started fooling around and "RPing". It was funny and it helped us pass the time.

It wasn't until after I helped with a photo shoot between a couple other members that I really sat down with those three and enjoyed the night. I taught 'em how to make s'mores and afterwards we went back to the tents where we sat outside and looked up at the night sky, commenting on how beautiful it was.

It was then we came up with the idea to do a therapy session with the characters we'd decided on earlier. That was one of the funniest things I've ever done in my life. Afterwards we tried it again, but it didn't work as well as the one with just the four of us. After that, we decided that we needed an Organization just like the one in KH and made just that, calling it the Organization MOF XIII. (MOF stands for Mensch ohne Fruende, means Person without Friends)

From there, the MOF Organization slowly grew to it's now IX members and many reuqests to get in. But we're not letting any of 'em in because we're so tight.

After the camping, Riku/Anna 2 and I got together, because we figured out that the two of us lived in the same town. We had fun and didn't really do anything together until we planned to go to the Arena of Pop in Mannheim in July. It was there the Organization MOF realized that we really had the potential to become something, even if everyone with the exception of me, was with someone from the Organzation. XD

Which then lead to the thouht on my part, "If someone has a bad breakup, it'll destroy the Org, no?", but most people seemed solid with their relationships, so I'm not worried. We only got tighter as myself, Luk and Elax, the girlfriend of Pink, another member of the Org and a member herself, spent the night at Anna 2's house.

It was there we bonded even more and I really started to feel a connection with anyone in real life in a long time. The week before last was another meeting of the group I talked about earlier, but I wasn't there long.

Everything leads up to Wednesday, when I spent the night at Anna 2's again. I was there, because we were going to Europa Park, a theme park, the next day and we needed to leave early. We had fun and the next day missed our train because we couldn't figure out if it was ours or not. 'Twas not one of my proudest moments, but we still get a kick out of it whenever we ride the train home.

I won't go into a whole lot of detail about the park this time, 'cuz the only real important thing that happened was that I got to know Luk's friend Dani, who she brought with, better. She's a great person and I later find out she never likes any of Luk's other friends, which made me feel kinda good in a way.

Thursday night I went to bed and woke up Friday, running around with a chicken with it's head cut off because we were going camping the next day. Sadly, it was canceled after I'd packed, but we then decided to go to Pink's house instead. So we went and as we walked into her street I thought to myself, "My god, this looks just like Kyra's street. Then I realized it was and found out Linda knew Kyra.

Talk about "It's a fucking small world after all".

Anyway, I chatted with Kyra and foudn out she was going drinking at a friend's house and after asking repaeated if the other's wanted to go (no, they didn't), then asking if they minded if I went and I did, drinking a whole beer by myself. (An accomplishment in itself for me. I'm a wine guy)

We then hung out and went to bed.

Yesterday we went into town and met Elax and hung out, where Pink and Elax worked out whatever problems they were having. (Elax is 26, Pink 16) We then went back and grilled, eating s'mores again and laughing and having fun. We played SingStar and then tried to go to bed, not being able to for a good two or three hours because we couldn't stop laughing.

Today we hung around and I played Final Fantasy VII, which is something I enjoyed lots.

And here I am, sitting here, trying to get my mind around the fact that I truly have friends. I've probably said this more than once, but for someone like me who doesn't trust anyone, it's an improvement.

MOF VII <3's his Org.

Not to mention, I've been asked to go to Disneyland with Luk in October. In Paris... OMG. ^^

School

Is out! My grades, I was very surprised with. * means there's something more to be said.

look to my previous post in August of last year to find grade conversions.

German 4
Chemistry 3
Physics 3 *
Sport (PE) 3
Art 3 **
Ethics 3 ***
Math 3
Spanish 2 ****
History 2
DAZ (Deutsch als Zweitsprache, German as a Second Language) 2
Musik 1
English 1 *****

* Such a WTF moment when I saw that. I turned in no notebook and
did no GFS (big project that counts as two grades).

** I didn't turn in one or two projects 'cuz I couldn't do 'em and I just really suck there.

*** Once again, I never do anything in this class, good or bad. It's 5 or 6 kids debating and the rest of class falling asleep.

**** I worked hard for this grade and am damn proud of it, although it could have been a 1 had I done better on the vocab tests.

***** Keep in mind, they're all learning English as a second language, I'd better have a 1, no?

All around, I'm proud of most of my grades, although everything could go up one or two numbers, you know?

So yeah, there, I updated. Finally. Wow.

Me on You:

Mimmi: Nope, I watched no Eurovision, although I did hear Lordi was good. They're big over here now, anyways. ^^
