At Shauna it's awesome. Even if I'm 90% silent even when watching the room. It's tearing me apart Lisa.
But yeah. Playing some game called munchkin. It's fun. Even if Matt wants to kill everyone except bubba.
I got my kebab
Night fury was NOT twerking with a tiger that wears a bra.
Had a great time at Shauna. Well I may not have shown it well but I did. And it was fun to know people better even Denmark and endless who I knew little about. But aye it was good. Thank you Shauna and Matt for inviting and being good hosts. Well Ill probably say it so much worse when I leave but

Spent the day playing videogames and card games with my siblings. :)

I mostly keep twitter around to use once every six months when I feel like sending a message to some barely famous person and Dan Floyd from Extra Credits just responded to me and I'm fangirling rn :omgomg:
Attachment 69037When this song comes on randomly on one of your stations. Pandora you know how to make me happy :kaoclove:
This will mean nothing to people who don't play World of Warcraft but I am EXTREMELY HAPPY about getting this rare mount to finally drop after about a year of trying every single week

Took my niece and nephew swimming today. It was a blast diving off the high board, taking the rope swing, and going down the water slide. Looked into a monthly membership for early morning workout swimming while I was there too. It's not that expensive.
I'm all set for the Aninite :jess:

Heading off to pick up some nerd at the Airport now. I hope she likes me.
We released our game! People like it! Sitting at 80 on the old metacritic.
It's nice to get rewarded for hard work sometimes ^^

After months of applications and interviews, I have a job! :dance:
Good job everyone!
So my house may be under siege from all the rats, but damn, I am looking smokin' hot today for some reason!
Four day weekend after today and boy do I needs it
Met this adorable pomeranian shih tzu mix at the dog park today and she and my dog played so nicely together. It was a great way to start the morning before going to work.
The rat ate all the poison which makes me very happy!
Sitting in the airport, eating quinoa salad while the airport bar plays Elliott Smith. I'm going to Guam! My layover is in Tokyo and it is my goal to make it to the Narita Airport Pokemon Store ;_;
Going dancing tonight with a couple beautiful woman tonight.
Visited Insert Coin's pop up Pokemon store today. Not only did I nab a sweet Bulbasaur t-shirt, they also have an ongoing game of Pokemon running on a DS. Yours truly did his bit by taking out Brock with just two attacks :cool:
Saw Almodóvar's Julieta yesterday. Fantastic movie. Highly recommend it to everyone!
I'm loving my counseling class. I'm learning a ton, especially since it pertains to my actual career goal instead of one of these gen ed. requirement courses.
Also one of my projects didn't take nearly as long to complete as expected, so I have some chill time this morning.
5 days actually. Unless I can't math.Quote:

Stray kitty is adorable and sweet.
Stray kitty is now going to live at my house.

I've been pretty fortunate to have mostly good professors so far
Just interviewed for a dream job working with airplanes. Got the feeling they were impressed bye my experience as a whole. Got a good feeling about this!
It rained for the first time in awhile! It's really starting to look like fall out there, and that makes me happy. :)
Having a few beers.
Laying down my new front lawn today and a wild bunny came to say hi and watch
edit: took pics with my phone but file size is to big for the site. Anyone know how I could get file size down so I can share?
My new job lets me work whenever I want.
There's a shift board, and they let you know what's happening a month in advance. You either sign up for a date or you don't. So if you want close to 40 hours you can get it, and if you want less you sign up for less things.
As long as I don't bail on something I've already signed up for, I don't even have to tell anyone if I want to take a vacation.
Something that makes me happy?
I got drunk, someone reminded me about this place, and I decided to swing by.
That made me pretty happy today.
Made a campfire and had some s'mores! Yum. :)
Not really something that made me happy, more like amused. I had a dream where my wife and I tried to have a baby and the very next day she knew she was pregnant and with quadruplets at that, which made us very, very happy. Then at work I got a message from Galuf and he said that he;s having an EoFF meetup in Glasgow and that I should come and I was like "oh, sure, Glasgow is like ten minutes away, so I won't be home much later than usual." I met some EoFFers and it was fun but the amount of sense that this dream didn't make just has me snickering all the way until now.
aye Glasgow is 10 mins from Poland. :lol:
Yeah man, we actually stopped by Poland during the meetup.
The thought of eating healthily after weeks of eating crap makes me happy.
beating the 4 crystals in FFV without Gil toss made me happy... but that was yesterday.
ok. beating Exdeath in the castle without Gil toss made me happy
The funniest thing was it was 10 minutes on foot from my work.Quote:

My good friend and his wife just had a new baby girl last night. This is their 5th baby.
I'm able to play Xenoblade again! :)
I just sent off an enquiry email to become a volunteer at a local dog shelter. They are asking for a semi full time volunteer shift manager and I'm thinking of applying if I'm eligible.
Im also attending/hosting a chocolate fondue evening on Friday with some girls I met on meetup.com

Thanks for remembering, Sam! I'm pleased you like it so much. I look forward to being able to make art again once school is done.
I CAN SMELL. It's glorious. I wasted money on smelly good lotion this weekend and am eating all the foods.
This guy was hanging out in the front yard today. [IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...pszne9u9yd.jpg[/IMG]
MissH and her Dad are going to the Man Utd match together tomorrow. Quite a few of you know that he's had leukaemia for two years but he's feeling healthy enough at the minute to get to a game. This makes me very, very happy.
I got roses delivered to my work from the BF. I've never had roses delivered to my work. I've hardly ever got flowers! I'm so happy. He's the best.
Trying to draw on Adobe Photoshop. That put me in a good mood.
Mine and Mr. Carny's anniversary was yesterday so we spent today having lunch and watching a movie.
Three years. Quite the achievement. :love:
Been working hard and it's finally paying off with:
Attachment 70647
I just like posting that picture.
It's been a bit of a pooey week. We've both been ill, frustrated at life, and I've been so down about Magnum :( I've just had low productivity all around. Tonight though I'm making my super chicken noodle soup which basically cures all :) AND we're doing a salad week next week which will be a fun cooking challenge to keep that interesting and not blech. I'm looking forward to next week, and today will be good :)
Completed my first ever race today, the Cardiff Half Marathon, and got a very respectable time of 2 hours 7 minutes.
Now to lie down, eat pizza and drink beer.
Mirage makes my day better most days but he said some things tonight that really made my day today :love:

Hopefully this handsome guy is gonna be ours. <3
His name is Leo and he's a Lion Head Tibetan Mastiff, a rescue.
We took Penny and met him for the first time today, and he warmed up to me very quickly, and got along great with Penny. He's a bit warier of men (he was abused) than women, but BeeJay let Leo approach him on his own time, and he eventually did and gave him a kiss on his hand. He stayed snuggled with me most of the time, though :D
We're going to see him again on Wednesday and Saturday. We have to keep doing that for awhile to make sure we all bond and that we'll be the best family for him.
Fingers crossed!!
Not today in particular, but coupons! I've never been a coupon person and I'm still not one of those extreme coupon people, but I have printed a few and cut a few out from flyers, and what a difference it makes. We also got one of those advantage cards at the grocery store (for free!), so with that and two coupons we saved $18 on our groceries. We also saved a dollar on ice cream Sunday, and a few dollars here and there at restaurants. On top of that, we went wedding gift shopping and when the lady saw we had coupons, she gave us a discount on our purchases there. So just in the first week after all of that we saved $40 on stuff we were going to buy anyway. That's pretty awesome! It was a big week, we won't be going to as many places this week, but still. The savings add up :D
Oh my local store has an app where I can preload some of their coupons right on their card! You should see if yours has it too! It helps when I forget to get the ads themselves but still want deals!
Just finished shovelling a ton of snow. That didn't make me happy, but what did is now I have access to the hot tub again after snow was removed! Going to enjoy that tonight!
Well, technically this was yesterday, but:
Attachment 70779
Finding the video for our first ever gig in the band.
I didn't look up even once! :lol:
Nice spot right next to the toilets!
I'm making a pair of costume opera gloves for Halloween out of some size 20 leopard pyjamas and I forgot how much I love sewing! (They're turning out pretty good too!)
DP WOOOOOOO FOR HAPPY THINGS.
I'm feeling sooooooo positive and buzzed about starting my food blog! I've had loads of great feedback and encouragement on Facebook - lots from people I didn't even expect to respond! So I'm super excited to get planning with this idea and see where it goes! :)
EDIT: I've also thought of the name for it and it just makes me do a MASSIVE smile! haha god how lame am I...
I found out my dad is getting out of the hospital today. He was admitted after getting a blood clot (in his lung) after his brain surgery. So happy news! :D
Having a good few days. Got some good games on sale for mega cheap, the budgeting is working out very well and our money for the week is higher than it used to be, got 100% on a project I was stressed about and got my highest math test grade of the semester for the unit I'd been struggling with the most. Got ahead on some of my homework, finally got some time to decompress, and my mood is pretty high. Did really well on my first counselor role-play assignment and my new English teacher seems approachable so far, I'll learn more on Tuesday. Plus I have my special surprise being delivered hopefully today, if not tomorrow!
I remembered that this place existed.
Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator, writer, star of Hamilton, genius and modern day Shakespeare, liked and retweeted a photo of my kid's Halloween costumes as Alexander and Eliza Hamilton.
And then I started bawling my eyes out, cause he's like my favorite human being on earth (outside of my family) and the fact that he was somewhere in London, looking at and awww-ing at a photo of my kids dressed up as characters he envisioned and gave us a shoutout pretty much made my heart burst into a million happy little pieces.
Del Murder thinks I'm exaggerating but this guy will go down as one of the most brilliant creative geniuses of the modern era and for a brief moment, he saw us! He made a connection with us! I can't even deal with how happy that makes me.
So I get my working rights in a couple weeks, and because we've waited so long to file off the partner visa, we've hit a requirement for me to get permanent residency a lot quicker.
I am so happy. We have thought for a while this would be the case, but to have it confirmed by immigration has just like, melted all of my stress and worry and I feel like this happy, floaty cloud! :D
I can't believe it!
I made my blog live last night, and my restaurant review has had 126 views in just over 12 hours.
126 people potentially read my review! :o I mean, at least 20 of them were me haha. But.... OH MY GOD. That's a jump right there! Overall, the blog has just under 400 views too which is pretty amazing considering. I'm pretty please with myself and motivated to carry on :)
Well. I went to the gym.
I've gotten accidentally involved in a LOT of drama between a few people lately, and an individual tried to drag my manager from work into this insanity in an attempt to throw me under the bus and ruin my credibility. What made me happy was that instead of brush it off or turn on me my manager was having none of it. She had my back until the end of all of it, she put up with a ton of trout to defend me and that really brightened up an overall rough day for me. I've never had someone defend me like that before.
That's good a manager stood up for you, I've just learned to defend myself. It's hard to have people stand for you when you represent a minority group.
I hope you got everything sorted out, I hate people who try to throw you under the bus.
I want to get my pirate ship tattoo soon. I am thinking about it and that makes me happy, haha.
I have a new BIG coffee mug with an etching of "CANADA" and a bear and pine tree design on it!!! :kaoclove:
Here is a picture:
Attachment 70994
I am not from Canada though, I just found it at a small thrift store. The mug has a very frontier-y hiking-y camping-y feel to it. But it is rather hefty...
Pretty excited to announce that after 3 long years of paperwork and collecting trout I am now officially allowed to live, work, and study in Australia until a decision is made on my partner visa.
The huge weight that I have been carrying has been lifted and I feel light as a feather. A new life begins today.
AMAZING NEWSQuote:

Applied for a job last night. Phone interview this morning. In person interview tomorrow.

Eating crisp sandwiches.
It's intense.
My brother just sent me a clip from the EU Parlament where he's with his school there, discussing stuff as part of the international youth on current topics, and there's a whole minute where he speaks at the Parlament about liberties and freedoms and refugees and it's just beautiful :G
Met a friend who I hadn't seen in years today by chance. Had a good laugh.
Rediscovered the beautiful musical work of Nujabes, and I also found this:
I feel like absolute crap today BUT my week long break is almost here, the semester is almost over, I got 100% on my second counseling session project, and the PSN has some awesome deals. Plus my first two classes let out early so I didn't have to sit in the classrooms for two long feeling sick
Defo some positives
Soon, Pumpkin you can be teaching this stuff! You know America is going to have a huge demand for mental health workers and those types of professions. I read the divorce rate in America is somewhere around the 49 percentile range! That's great news for a family psychologist, lol.
Sometimes I feel pretty down that I left my library community in NZ, but today I found out that I'm mentioned twice (once with a photo) in this month's issue of NZ's professional library magazine, and people are asking me about my research!
Also, I have the house to myself, which means I get to listen to my music with Spuuky's excellent headphones ^_^

Attachment 71036
This made me happy today. :)
The ultimate post-credits scene of Final Fantasy XV.
There's a certain sense of wonder to seeing someone read through the Umineko question arcs and just... "getting it", for lack of a better term. Where they hit all the right notes in all the arcs and even touch on the biggest mystery of all at a rather incredible point in the game.
I have high hopes for them; they might be one of the very few to be capable of 'solving' Umineko by Episode 4...
So I'm taking four courses. I have 4 tests left and 3 exams to study for. Other than that though, I am done all projects and homework assignments for the semester!!! I am sitting at a 95ish for a few of my classes though and I really don't want to drop below a 93 or I will still have an A but it won't be a 4.0 like I would like. Hopefully it won't drop out of the 90 range, that would make me sad. So we'll see how I do, but I am excite for the semester to be over soon!
AND there will be therapy dogs at the college on Thursday which is awesome because I could use some therapy dog snuggle time
Just received a phone call for an interview to start an Electrical Apprenticeship. Been trying to break in to this for over 2 years.
I had a really eventful Monday. I guess that's something!
I'm trying to dress more professionally for my job and one of my new years resolutions is to get a classier wardrobe. So I started already. $12 for the outfit I have on today and I look snazzy!
I got pokemon sun fo my birthday today. Was a tough choice between that or ffxv. Yay
also drassenovs drawimg of my ffxiv xharacter even when I failes and left the circlet on
I got called an excellent student
*smug*
*struts around*
Working at the University library is going well! It's great making a difference to people's lives.
Even if it is just instructing them how to use a printer. It's the small things.
Job hunting going okay.
Made it through to the next round of an interview process for a job that seems pretty awesome. First round was to answer a questionnaire and then to provide a written statement about how my own visions and values align to their company. Fair enough.
Got through to the next stage which was...... a DISC personality typing quiz!
2 and half weeks this has been going on without even a phone call or any idea of when an in-person interview may occur! I wonder if they're using the quiz results to come up with specific interview questions.... or just to slice the candidates down further. It's amusing none-the-less, that's for sure!
It snowed last night. Not a lot but about 1cm of light fluffy snow. Now being Canadian I am sick of snow and it can stay away for life, however I walked to my parents place which is oddly right next door. Grabbed my dads leaf blower and did the neighbor hood side walk, all driveways around the area and where all the kids get on the school bus. It only took me 30 mins, and one lady came out side with a cup of hot chocolate for me just to say thank you. Made me feel happy.
Also so get to find out today when my interview is for my apprenticeship tomorrow! Very excited about that too. (Also kind of nervous)
I am one of the first people to have the Platinum Trophy and this is my fastest Final Fantasy Platinum. The leaderboard list is not totally accurate though. I am one of the first nonetheless.

HONESTLY, smurf snow eh? I live in Toronto though and we don't have any (yet). I'm pleased with that outcome.Quote:

Had a job offer today to start next week. I'm still waiting on a few details concerning wages etc, but this could be a fun job for me and will at least be something to tide me over into the New Year while I continue to hunt for something more permanent!
Van der Bellen won the election~
Just had a student ask me to write him a letter of recommendation for the honors program. Such a humbling experience.
Just been invited for an interview with a company I really want to work with - doing all the things I want to make a career out of.
Of course this happens when I've just accepted another job, but such is life! Can only go and see what happens right? :)
Had a great time playing Smash Bros. with my older brother and sister. :)
That's great to hear! Man I wish my parents weren't so aversive to video games; mainly my father. Also I wish my siblings played games with me. They used to, but not anymore. My father said games are a waste of time. There is a bunch of reasons why games are great, even psychologically.
Final grades came innn~
http://i.imgur.com/YK0zo4W.png
So happy! It was a rough semester and my first semester taking 4 courses instead of just 3. Thankfully, I get to keep my 4.0 for another semester!
It's snowing outside! It never snows where I'm at, so I'm excited. :)
The course I took yesterday to recertify myself to work in H2S gas situations I scored 100% on the test. Allowed to go back to work again now.
Today was my last day at work, and I got some lovely leaving gifts. I got some nice Harry Potter related stuff - it was good to have them acknowledge the things I like! I am sad to go, but I'm on to my bigger better job on Monday.
Found a dragon egg at the avocado section today

I can't believe this.
Had a great time playing Time Splitters flame tag with my brothers. :)
Watched Elf today, got the last of the Christmas shopping done and wrapped.
Still buzzing about my job, feel like the Christmas break truly starts and.....

Grades are in. 4.0s across the board!
Steam winter sale! Got the remaining Neptunia games (the main ones) and Legend of Heroes: Trails of the Sky.
I also played the Gravity Rush 2 demo which is astonishingly beautiful. And unbelievably cute as well, I'm already in love with Kat and I haven't even played the first game.
We got the rock band kit on sale for the PS4. SO that's been buckets of fun. It's 2007 all over again. We even had chili cheese fries for dinner hahaha
GUYS I'M ON RATE MY PROFESSOR NOW AND SOMEONE MADE ME SO HUMBLED WITH WHAT S/HE WROTE.
http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/Show...sp?tid=2168881
Met with my irl best friend for the first time one years. It was so much fun just reminiscing about old times, but it was also amazing to see just how much he's grown since I last saw him.
I'm in Switzerland! Woo! Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Christmas didn't suck! I spend Christmas eve with my mom and aunt and we had steak and lobster for dinner because smurf ham. Also Mirage and my mom collaborated behind my back and he sent her my gift to open at Christmas eve. I was really surprised by that and my mom's pretty impressed! It's an ssd drive; I can't wait to get it installed in my laptop.
And now I'm getting ready to go to my mom's again to go see rogue one. Merry Christmas you guys!
Hell YEAH Starlet you rebel. I had turkey, smurf ham. Steak was a great choice!
Finally got my final grade this semester.
A in Complex analysis.
A in number theory
A in Differential Geometry, which I was sure I was getting a B in because I messed up on at least 3 problems on that final and I did only half the homework.
Great way to end the year!
A certain announcement just now made me more hyped than I've ever been before for anything ever. One hell of a way to finish up 2016.
Showed my 7 year old nephew the magic of Final Fantasy.
I brought some Orange Chocolate Digestives back from the UK.
I forgot how banging they are with a good cuppa!
Ooooh I remember why I don't like programming! It's not the logic, it's the maths!
I'm making a rhythm action figure skating game today and I had to figure out how to calculate "beats per frame" which, while probably simple to the professionals, was very obnoxious for me. However, I've figured it out now and I think... I think that's gonna be the trickiest part taken care of. So I'm feeling pretty good that a) I actually kept to my plan of making this and b) I've gotten over the major hurdles.
It's also given me ample excuse to listen to the Yuri on Ice soundtrack as that's what you skate to in the game at the moment.
I do teach math so if you need help with something feel free to shoot me a mognet message. :shobon:Quote:

Being nice and having good manners smurfing pays off. We went to view a house yesterday and I am always sure to chat with the estate agent if I'm liking the place and this one seemed lovely. So we got chatting and she ends up suggesting another property which she had just done a showing for and she said it would suit us and that she would go take us over!
So we went, house was flipping gorgeous!!! I wanted to apply straight away, so I asked her and she took my email - sent me the application over and so I just started emailing her - thanking her for her time and saying how wonderful she was. Later on I had difficulty getting the application form to work and accept some required documentation. I sent her a lovely email again explaining it - she told me to just forward the stuff straight to her with a promise she'll process our application first thing tomorrow.

When I applied for the job I have now, I was always sure to follow up with nice, polite emails.... the result? I was kept up to date the whole way through and the staff got to know me a bit - it really helped me, honestly.
SO! Everyone! Be nice ALWAYS. TO EVERYONE. You never know when that person you were nice to might be able to give you a hand somewhere - even if they don't - be nice. Because they will SURE AS HELL remember if you weren't nice.
I can attest to remembering people that weren't nice at all, I remember them very well.

I'm apparently off to a good start this semester :lol:
Hahaha ^.
I'm really enjoying playing Mafia again on EoFF! It brings good memories of playing it years ago. Along with all the suspicion. :shifty:
I second what Formy said. Though I am new to Mafia I have really enjoyed playing with the community here. I end up reading the thread over and over again and try to decipher what everything may be. When I am away from the interwebs, driving, working I am thinking about who is who and what role they may play in it. Loving Mafia!
It's definitely a game that lingers with you, isn't it? :DQuote:

It's the simple things. Snap chat face swap marathon with my nieces today. Their laughter is the best.
