Snails Don't Really Explode, Don't Worry

#9 ~~ November 2, 2015 ~~ Clockwork Vaudeville, Steam Powered Giraffe

I've been getting weird anxiety spurts recently. It's really weird and making me feel cold. Or maybe that's because the temperature outside dropped a ton.

Anyhow, I've been a little salty and on my period, so maybe those are also factors of it. ANYHOW, I've been salty, because some creepy ass dude I used to be friends with got rejected by my sister a couple years ago and is still staring her down. And now that she's become friends with this one guy, every time they see him, he's glaring at them like a creepy little bitch. ALSO on Halloween night, I hung out with some people. Dana hung out with that one guy instead, but we all met up in the middle of the neighborhood. After we ended up back at the guy's house who was hosting it, he kicked out my sis and I, because he said my mom just barged in and was being awkward and that he was sick of her doing that. I asked my mom about it, and sure enough she didn't barge in, and she had a conversation with his mom and everything. So why the flip were we kicked out? We think it's because the creepy dude (who was also there) said something the the host guy about how Dana and her friend were there together and he didn't like it so the host guy had us kicked out by said some stupid shit like that. That was a couple nights ago and I'm still salty about it all. Jeezus christmas.

Also the guy I like who moved to Florida for college I've been feeling less comfortable talking to again which disappoints me because I like him a lot. I just feel like he doesn't respect my opinions. Then again there's hardly anyone who respects anyone's opinions that I know of besides my mom and sister so maybe I should just get used to the fact. By this, I mean they all have the same mindset: "If your opinion isn't the same as mine, you're wrong because my opinion is a fact." Super lame. Maybe that's just how everyone from California is. That's how it's been since I moved here six years ago. Anyhow, I feel like I've been maybe bothering him too much. I mean we don't talk as much as we used to anymore anyways, but I still feel that way. I dunno, it's weird. You know what else is bad? How every new anime we tried to watch together had a ton of fan service in every episode. We were both like, "Ughhhh," the whole time we were watching it all. Can't find anything good. Then again, I don't watch anime unless he wants me to watch some with him. I'm more of a manga person. I haven't read Inuyasha in a while, but that's the one I'm currently reading. It's pretty great.

I don't usually talk or think about negative things, but I needed to get that stuff off my mind.

SO, good things that have been happening then: I've been talking again with a couple of the guys I used to talk to all the time. And one of them is actually passing all of his classes with A's and doing all of his homework after all the years he just slacked off and failed a bunch of classes. He's grown his hair out, too. Maybe his will power is in his longer hair. Isn't that some mythological theory? Maybe in Christianity? Something about longer hair meaning more power or something as opposed to more fair hair. Then again mine is fair and long so maybe that's why I'm so average and boring.

Also, on the 30th of October, The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth came out and is awesome. There are some things that could use fixing like the glitches to the Hush room and some synergies that could be possible that don't actually work together and should. Also I wish the Adversary and the Bloat were nerfed, but maybe that's just because I stink at the game. But jeeze those brimstones--the Adversary's locks on to you unless you react in time to run behind him in the split second he turns to where you are to brimstone you. And then the Bloat's brimstone shoots in every cardinal direction except up, so you can stand behind him and shoot, but then when he jumps to the top of the room then you're pretty much screwed. I'm probably missing something there, but no matter what I have a problem with those two bosses.

So what's cool is Twitch streamers CobaltStreak and Richard_Hammer are taking turns every 12 hours to stream Afterbirth for an entire week. Dick went to sleep over at Cobalt's house for a week to do the marathon and they're sharing a save file to get all the unlocks on the game. That's all I've been doing--watching them play, and playing the game myself.

Except for right now. I'm watching my friends play Halo 5 on Twitch and then I'm typing this, because I'm all antsy and bored. That's why I'm watching them play though because they said they'd leave the call if I didn't watch their stream. And I had this great urge to write something. Thought it would de-stress me out.  It's helping. Also the fact that I'm in a call with these buttheads.

Besides that I've been wanting to read the Sherlock Holmes series that I own now and wanna get to drawing my Steampunk bands picture featuring Professor Elemental, The Cog is Dead, and Steam Powered Giraffe and all of their characters from their music. But I just can't get myself to do any of it. I lack so much motivation. I'll get around to that someday.
