So, hi again ^^"

It's been what... Actually, let's not think about how long it's been between blog posts

Probably like six months, give or take a bit. Sorry x.x"

And the last one definitely wasn't anything memorable... So. Let's try and update you on what has or hasn't been happening in my life in that time (it's appalling little, I'm so sorry for how brief yet boring this will be x3) It's more to convince you that I actually still exist, and Blake doesn't have me locked up in his basement / I was purely a figment of his imagination. In which case, my typing this disproves nothing! Nothing I say!

(Is it weird how I pick up other people's typing habits? That's weird right? x.x")

Least all the emoticons is purely me lol. I severely overuse these still. Probably more so than before...

Anyways. My life in the last c.3-6 months...

1. Lost my job.

So, that awesome job I had that paid my bills, let me rent a place on my own and live near Blake, my university & my friends and social life? Yeah, that fell through. Probably my fault okay probably definitely entirely my fault but first real, full-time, holy-shit-this-is-important-and-grown-up-and-shit-type job. Also, it's really hard to type like that

I lasted five months at it anyway. Longer than some people said I would xD

2. Back to living with family

So that's un-fun. Particularly since it means I communicate with people I like by computer, text or... Actually, that's it. And I'm now... 6 hours by car / 2 hours by bus + overnight at home + another 4-5 hours by bus away from Blake, as opposed to 3 hours by car / 3 hours by bus + an hour by car. Could be worse, there was talk of Tasmania. That shit's an island. And cold. No thanks... There's one friend in town who I really should catch up with, but Idk why I haven'tpossibly intimidated a bit because she finished her degree in October, and I'm years away form finishing mine. (Blake, I know you know, so shut up >.>") She's honestly the sweetest, nicest, person anyone has ever met in the history of ever who I've known since preschool (and is probably the re-incarnation of Mother Teresa, I kid you not) but the knowledge that family and friends will compare us and find me lacking does make me a little reluctant to spend time with her basically, I'm just a bad, envious, useless person xD

3. Back to studying

And the sudden realisation that when you take a two year break from Chemistry and then jump back into it in the middle of the year you don't remember shit. Cue me watching a lot of "Crash Course In Redox Reactions!" style videos on youtube x3 Hopefully once I can beat this knowledge back into my skull I'll be fine, but atm it's rather like taking a rusty nail and using a brick wall for the anvil x.o

4. I haven't drawn in over a YEAR.

And that's not good. Tried a few squiggles the other day and they were awful.

5. I've become addicted to Mass Effect.

So, I'm been severely behind the rest of you in realising how great Mass Effect is. Got my hands on ME2 & ME3, played them through loved it (apart from that ending). Love Joker. Love EDI. Love Tali and Garus and Jack and everyone... Surprising liked James. The whole design of James as a big, tough, military-style brute set me up to dislike him, Surprisingly, he grew on me. A lot. Pretty sure my next FemShep playthrough will need to romance him x3 Kaiden can still go die in a hole though. Asshole. He tried ot shoot me because I didn't visit him in hospital!

6. The left mouse button on my laptop is broken.

That isn't that big a deal, considering that my whole entire laptop is pretty well broken, to the point where if you poke it funny or don't set it down on the table very very carefully, it will freeze up, die, reboot, freeze up, die, reboot, freeze up... repeatedly. Which is fun. But it's still usable, if you're careful.

The real problem with my mouse being broken is I can't play more Mass Effect because of it!

7. I'm getting a new laptop

YAY.

8. To tide me over til then, I have a 3DS (Which Blake bought for my birthday because he's the best, and really shouldn'tve. Really. That was probably money meant for college fees)

And Fire Emblem. And Pokemon X. Because I love shiny hunting, and you can't make me grow up x3

9. My life is absurdly boring, and this list is absurdly short/overly long (depending on your perspective)

For a worringly accurate look at what my day-to-day life is sometimes like, this site is pretty good - http://garfieldminusgarfield.net/

What it says on the tin. You take Garfield out of the Garfield comics, and Jon is just a lonely, crazy guy. I'm not quite that bad, but... Idk. Judge for yourself x3 (I have yet to run around screaming "LADYBUGS!" but some days, I wouldn't be far off x3) I need to get myself a cat >.>

...

So yeah. My life is boring as batshit, and I really need to get another job, because being broke sucks, but I'm terrified ot fail my units again either. So now you're caught up. Tell me you guys have had a more exciting time than me, please? xD

Bilby! Welcome home.

Not much to tell in my life. The only thing that's exciting is the stress that I'm under trying to make ends meet while working at a job that while fun, doesn't pay me enough to pay my debts.

My wife and I are finally getting a taste of what it feels like to be empty nesters but it's only temporary while my son is off detasseling corn for a few weeks.

We're hoping he gets a job at the local pizza place when he comes back so he can save for Uni and pay us some rent. mmmmm free pizza and money.

I'm playing Rainbow Moon on PS3 right now. It's fun but after 60 hours I'm wearing out.

Anyway, It's always good to hear from you. You have to tell us how your visit with the Royals went. :D

He didn't even tell me about that blog! D:

The monster x3

But anyways, hi mothman! ^^ It's nice to be back. I hope I actually stay back this time, but I've discovered that I'm really, really bad at keeping up contacts with people <.> I tend to just drift away from things. Not good x.x

I missed the corn part in your sentence there and sat for a full minute trying ot work out what "detasselling" was lol x3 but that would be maybe, sorta fun! ^^ Hard work though, I bet xD

Ohmigod, pizza o3o I seriously miss getting cheap pizza at college with friends, Really do. Plus money is always nice x3 I really need to look into a job at the local dairy, but the owner is kind of intimidating <.>

I need to convince my brothers to lend me their PS3 next. I tried the Xbox that Blake brought with him when he visited, but the buttons and joysticks are wrong! D:

Maybe my next laptop will be strong enough to play Skyrim xD that owuld be nice...

Blake Turner Staff Writer

Yay! You made one! And it isn't short. At all. Retard :p

And if I didn't buy you a 3DS I would have blown it on something else retarded. Like a game. Or 2 games. Or a shirt. Actually, I need jeans. Two of mine have rips across the ass. I don't even know how they get there.

Also, I miss you.

Also also, write more blogs.

Also Also Also when are you visiting next? Make it soon.

Also Also Also Also I love you.

Also Also Also Also Also this is getting annoying, so bye.

07/18/2014 at 10:59 AM

Well it's short for summing up the last 6 months of my life, but long for what's actually in it lol!

And you do need jeans >.> I don't even know how you do that to them. Just stop sitting on barbed wire or something.

And yeah I guess... But still <3 thank you.

And I miss you too.

And and what about? I don't -do- things. I exist in a weird hibernating kind of stats atm.

(I suppose I could wirte a blog complaining abotu the new library, but nobody would care xD)

And and and probably not until 20-30 of August :/ can't make it to Great Escape, but I expect a really, really long drunken phone call after that one, mkay? ^^

And and and and I love you too.

And and and and and ... You're really lucky I'm a nice person x3

You've been still logged in on my laptop until today (finally logged you out to wirte this), I could've written a blog about how much you like kittens, and ventriloquist clown porn, if I was feeling evil >:D

(But not at the same time. That shit's weird yo' >.>)

07/18/2014 at 11:15 AM

Huh? Dude, the vantriloquist chick was cool. She was proper mentally ill + had sets, props and a story. Plus she dressed as Harley Quinn! You even said it was cool. Ihaven't even watched it, I just read the cracked article.

KITTENS ARE FUCKING ADORABLE!

And aww...

There was a Cracked article I read yesterday that linked to that Cracked article. I thought that woman looked kinda scary.

Kittens ARE adorable though. I want to buy one and name him Mr. President.

And Bilby, I hope all gets better and you find a job. Shit sucks.

07/18/2014 at 11:59 AM

I think that was the cracked article Blake linked me to it from x3

She does sound interesting. Weird, and cooky, and a one or two loose screws, but interesting x3

Dear god I want a kitten

But the Jack Russell wouldn't tolerate it, high prey drive with them unfortunately

Mr. Presidet would be awesome! Need to get a place of my own and get a kitten. Then Blake would visit me more, rather than me visiting him :P

I kind want a ginger cat called Captain. Or one called Starbuck. Or Zelda... Or lots of things really x3

I hope it does too, It's been a rather long two years by now lol x.x"

07/18/2014 at 07:51 PM

and like also you guys need to get a room mmmkay? LOL

Seriously both of you need to bog here more. Blake does a hit and run once in a while but that's just not enough.

07/19/2014 at 12:24 AM

Lol, I'm sorry x3 (sorry not sorry xD)

I blog like, once every couple of months x.o Blake needs to blog more, he only posted one thing while I was stalking him <.<

Blake. Finish Catherine already and make a blog about it! Dooooo ittttt.... Your evil girlfriend commands it!

07/19/2014 at 06:56 AM

Okay, I'll blog more. I've just been busy/sleepy/dead/broke/internetless/living in a pinecone so it's been tough to blog.

Also, Okay Bilby, I'll finish Catherine. I'm a little further, but Red Dead Redemption and Vanquish have been eating most of my time.

07/20/2014 at 07:48 AM

Well, I know at least two of those are lies >.> I hope.

Don't be dead, it's awkward dating a dead guy.

Anyways.

I need to steal Red Dead Redemption off of you. And your Xbox. Because I'm definitely not going to have time to play it the next time I see you. I have a week of 9-6pm chemistry pracs. That's not okay! Even if there's three days in the middle xD So it's really 10 days of 9-6pm chemistry pracs with three days recovery xD

I'm going to be a zombie by the end of it...

And the mid-semester exam is in the middle of it too x.x"

I'm pretty boring, too, but that's OK. I'm happy with that.

Garfield Minus Garfield is funny. Even Jim Davis thinks so.

07/19/2014 at 12:27 AM

Blake only showed it to me last night, and I think I'm in love with it x3

And that's good Cary ^^ I'm possibly exaggerating the lack of stuff, but it's just frustrating me I've made so little progress towards uni and stuff <.> but ah well. Will get there ^^

BrokenH

07/19/2014 at 01:36 AM

Yeah, Blake told me about the Dean raising the cost of monthly tuition and it kinda broke my heart when he confessed he had to go home.

I'm sorry you have to pretty much do the same,Bilby. Please, try to keep your head up! If anything you peeps can still talk on the phone and hang out sometimes,aye? The extra distance between you must be a pain though.

07/19/2014 at 02:41 AM

We've actually been apart most of the last... Eep. four months x.x

I left college about this time last year actually <.> I did manage to come back and woork in the same town for five months before I fucked up, so that was good ^^

And is okay. We text a lot, and when I do manage to visit, it's usually for a week or two ^^

Just now, to get to visit, I have to catch a bus for two hours, then either stay overnight with my parents, and catch a second bus for five-ish hours, or blake has to drive 3 hours ot meet the bus and pick me up, then three hours back x3 there's no nice easy connecting line lol.

07/19/2014 at 03:46 AM

It was nice you got a job in the same town for awhile after you left college earlier. Regardless, true friendships can endure through a lot of hardships!

07/20/2014 at 07:37 AM

Yeah x3

It just kinda sucks being so far away all the time D:

But we do get to catch up at least some of the time x3 so that's good ^^ and I'm trying ot work out stuff for next year. Not very successully, but trying x.o
