The thing is, the movie had the swearing everywhere. Come to think of it, I don't think anyone swore when they were being killed. O_o; Not a one of them.

It was just kids trying to be "cool", which annoyed me. It's just because if we hear the words once or twice in a movie, most of us are so desensitized to them, or we use them in our every day life (sparingly!), so it only makes an impact if they're said ten times every minute.

Still.. blech.

I suppose I'd best get breakfast and then shower. I have homework I should do before I pick my nephew up in a few hours. n_n Doesn't feel like a Monday. This month is FLYING by. (Good. I want to move. XDDD)

I have a 360 and I wouldn't really recommend it unless you like first person shooter games - because that seems to be about all that is out for it.


Well - Oblivion is nice- but I don't play role playing type games on consoles either - but the 360 is beautiful. The only game we have for it that I play right now is Viva Pinata - and Guitar Hero II. my boyfriend plays Splinter Cell and Oblivion.


The Wii is probably my favorite game system we own - I love it - but I can't get near it lately since my boyfriend has been playing Zelda - Twilight Princess pretty much non-stop. There have been a few nights that I wake up at 4 am and he still hasn't come up to be - it's a little crazy.

Chi 09-10-2007 05:01 PM

Kinmotsu played through Twilight Princess on the Gamecube first, because at that time we didn't have the Wii. I remember, ironically, that he stayed up really late some nights too. O.o;

I watched a lot of the plot. Good game. I don't remember the last time I spent hours upon hours playing a game in front of the TV, but I tend to do it with RPGs.

Man, I just got off the phone with my grandmother. She called for help with a digital camera problem, so I took the opportunity to ask her if my mother's acting normal to her because she's being very rude to me. She said she's been snippy and whatnot lately, which makes me worry less that I've done something wrong. >.>

More importantly, I guess my grandmother was going on and on about how she feels me doing the online route this semester isn't good. Her words were "I wish you'd take more classes down at the college". Well, I'm taking 15 credits, and with reason. >.>; She then said it's not the course load, it's the socializing she wants me to do.

I simply said the kids my age there are still in their party phases, of which I was never for. If I drink it's usually in a small group of four, and we play cards and chat whilst doing it, not bang each other against the dorm walls 'till daylight. (Yes, these are the stories my classmates would tell me.)

I feel misplaced sometimes when I only seem to have things in common with people older than me. It's like I'm looked at oddly for it. I just don't think there's anything wrong in electing not to socialize with a group you know you wouldn't fit in for. I'd be the "lame-o" who wouldn't wanna go partying all hours of the night. I like studying and getting good grades. T-T;

That and who would pick my nephew up every day if I had classes in the afternoons? o.o

Sounds like you could use a purkle hug Chi......{{{hug}}}

EternalHearts 09-10-2007 07:31 PM

*Also Hugs Chi*

It's tough when you are not only a commuter in college, but also someone that is not a "typical" college student. I lived on campus and was like you--prefering to cosialize in smaller groups where, if alcohol was involved, we were pretty sure everyone would be safe (the occational tripping and falling not withstanding ) :lol:

Chi 09-10-2007 08:38 PM

*hughugs* X3

I've decided today that if I'm solely funding my way through college, I'm going to live my life at my discretion. I work at a family business, but truth be told I can't get as many hours to work there as I need to financially survive (I've asked for more several times, but my grandmother is frugal and prefers the money going out to be as small as possible [I'm not blaming her, she's doing what's financially best for the company]), so until the years pass and the situation changes (i.e. someone stops working), I'm not really making myself better stress-wise.

If I commute next semester as I'm planning, I'm definitely not going to bother working on top of schooling. I did it last year and right now to show my mother an effort that I was working hard to see things through while she funded my tuition. I don't see the need to bend over backwards when I could just save myself the energy and pay the loans off after I graduate like how many other thousands upon thousands of college students do?

Four years of accumulated debt won't kill me thirty years down the road from now. I just had to get myself in the right mindframe for it, so I'm no longer worried.

So yeah. 8D Viva me. Or something. *goes to turn the ribs that are cooking in the oven*

And Eternal, your comment on the tripping occasionally made me think of one of the last times I went drinking with friends (group of four, including Kin). I was actually doing my Sociology test (or was it the final? I don't remember), sober, and one friend kept on going, "T______T KRISTIIIIIIIIIINA! Want me to help you? :D"

xD;; He rarely gets drunk, but when he does he's quite funny.

apricotbaby 09-11-2007 05:25 AM

*streaks through this thread too*

Weeeeeeee! hahaha :lol:

Hope everyone is doing well!!!

Chi 09-11-2007 10:57 AM

o.o *watches Apricot zoom by* ... *rubs butt from the goosing from the other thread*

apricotbaby 09-11-2007 01:22 PM

*stops, smooches ChiChi on the cheek, streaks s'more*

Weeeeee! This is fun! :lol:

Chi 09-11-2007 01:26 PM

XDDD

So how are you doing Apricot?

apricotbaby 09-11-2007 01:51 PM

I'm doing all right! It's a crappy rainy day here and I just woke up not long ago. I think I am getting back into a normal sleep pattern again, which is good since I've applied at a few different places for a full-time job so I'm getting my body back into that routine. I have a list of things I need to get done in my room today, most importantly I want to organize my bills so I know how much debt I have so I can begin paying it all off once I start my new job. I also want to have an idea what is already there so I know when I get a car. I want to be completely debt free by the time I turn 35 which is in a little over 4 years. We'll see about that, I guess.

How are you ChiChi?

roocee 09-11-2007 02:05 PM

Oh darn, I missed the streaking...lol. You certainly don't want to see this butt streaking around. It would give you all a fright.

apricotbaby 09-11-2007 02:09 PM

*gooses roo* Oh stop that, lady! That is totally not true!

*runs around roo in circles, grabs her hands and spins her around, giggling*

Chi 09-11-2007 03:35 PM

I bet mine's scarier, Roo! >D

*wiggles her chubby cheeks*

Apricot, you do seem very focused right now! o.o Are you going to look into consolidating debt, or you just have to sort out to see what's going on for you financially?

Right now I've applied to a student loan that I'm waiting to hear response on. As soon as it comes in (if it does, I assume it will) I'm paying off the one credit card I consolidated everything on to for a lower interest rate. I guess I should have gone the loan route all along, but I wanted to avoid it. x_x

apricotbaby 09-11-2007 04:21 PM

I highly doubt either of you have scary bottoms, so just cut it out!

I am wanting to just see how much debt I have and work out a plan over the next 4 years in paying it all back. This week I am going to make a budget while I wait for job interviews and such. I am also going to make an exercise plan and gather things together I no longer want and possibly sell them on eBay. I have way too much clutter around this place!!! hehehe


Chi 09-11-2007 04:46 PM

eBay is very nifty for selling all your extras. I sold a pile of stuff a couple months ago and made $400. Old video games and stuff I no longer need. I should do another cleaning this weekend (packing) and see what else I can get rid of. >w<

apricotbaby 09-11-2007 04:53 PM

I just need to get/borrow a friend's digicam. I literally have heaps and heaps and heaps and heaps of stuff to get rid of. I could make a killing and make a good sized chunk toward a new car if I'm lucky!!!

Chi 09-11-2007 05:03 PM

Yeah. ^-^ I'd say go for it!

I have a couple animation cels I should sell, but I've thought about framing one of them if I can't sell it for a fair price. Framing's complicated and expensive though... with all the acid free matting and stuff. x.x

roocee 09-11-2007 05:03 PM

I wish I could do that. I so need to get my finances organized and try and get things caught up.

Yes apricot, my bum is rather scary. I so need to work on this weight problem.

Chi 09-11-2007 05:08 PM

Same here Roo. Same here. On both accounts, finances and weight.

Though the finances are pretty much taken care of from what I can do right now. n.n;

roocee 09-11-2007 05:19 PM

I got behind on some things when I had some trouble with my bank a few months ago and just can't get caught up. It's so hard once you are behind.

As for my weight, my boyfriend doesn't care either way but my doctor does and I really need to do something since it would seriously help my back problems tremendously if I could lose a considerable amount.

Chi 09-11-2007 05:26 PM

My fiance doesn't care either. He feels I'm fine, but I don't. Even if I were "rail thin", my bones are so big that I swear I'd NEVER fit below a size 10 (and I'm nowhere near that now, of course).

I know I could very easily lose 50lbs and feel loads better about myself. I think I'd be my ideal size come then. I have a feeling I'll get there eventually. Especially since I'll be eating more than carefully during pregnancy and the whole gallbladder evasion thing.

Mama Juru 09-11-2007 05:29 PM

*runs in and starts jumping on the couch, gets tired and flops down*

Goood morning purkles!!

LOL I put this in the wrong thread
:oops:

apricotbaby 09-11-2007 05:37 PM

LOL jurupa... it's ok. Had me giggling!!!

I am no skinny Minnie either, and I have finally decided to make some changes regarding, that too. I would love to lose a considerable amount of weight myself. You know, ChiChi... after my aunt had kids, she lost A LOT of weight without really trying. It's all of the running around with the baby and everything that put her there. That and the fact that once they were asleep she was too tired herself to eat, I'm sure. LOL

Maybe I should have a kid? Um.......... on second thought, no.

Chi 09-11-2007 05:52 PM

@Juru
I saw you post in Jelly's thread and wondered... hehe. How are you dear? :3

@Apricot
I've been told breastfeeding helps with the mum getting recovered and going again more quickly, too. My friend lost a ton of weight as well.

I reckon when we go grocery shopping again I'll end up getting a ton of salad stuff. We've been trying to eat what's here because we don't wanna have a house full of food when we get the call that says it's okay to move. xD We should have enough food to last 'till this weekend, but who knows.
