I'm bored, so I'll post some of the banners I've used/am using. They're some of my favourites. One of the above is very old, but which one is it... That's for you to find out.

So I finally got portal today. Needless to say, I am ashamed I never got it earlier, it's so fun. Unfortunately I can't play it too much because I have a research project that is 25% of my grade in Environmental Science due soon "No matter how much you push the envelope, it'll still be stationery." ~Unknown

I Did It For Love, So Long Sentiment
Angel Beat posted a blog entry in Star Blogging across the universe
Well, aside from being late for college, this is a good morning. Why? I saw a preview of BoA's new music video I Did it For Love, ft. Sean Garrett. Really cool video, she looks amazing there. o.o The song still sounds a bit 'off' to me, but that's probably because it's a new style for her. BoA's American debut album is scheduled for release on March 17. Another preview I heard, was So Long Sentiment from Celldweller. This song is going to rock. Last, but certainly not least: The latest STAR TREK trailer. I had the tears in my eyes. Movie is going to be amazing. -
Pleeeeaaaase?

Legendary Cars In Burnout Paradise.
Angel Beat posted a blog entry in Star Blogging across the universe
(...I really should make a Games category.) Last month, some amazing cars were released for download in the game Burnout Paradise. I managed to get my hands on them and today, we'll take a nice look at them. I'll also share my experiences with you. (The XBOX 360 versions, that is.) First up is the Jansen P12 "88 Special". Picture 01. Picture 02. The 88 Special is inspired by the DeLorean time machine from the Back to the Future movie trilogy. It's a stunt car with a reasonable racing speed and one of the fastest boost speeds in the game. This car is very fun to drive and performs flatspins and barrel rolls like no other. It's also very maneuverable and simply awesome. Press the boost button and flame trails erupt from behind the rear wheels. Just like the movies... Click the left stick to enable the car's "futuristic" mode AKA hover mode. The controls are the same, but the hover mode is a delight in its own respect. <3 Really fast. Recommended event types: Race, Stunt Run, early Road Rage events. Later Road Rage and Marked Man events are not recommended, as the car is relatively weak. Next up: Hunter Manhattan Spirit. Picture 01. This awesometastic car is the Burnout Paradise incarnation of the car the Ghostbusters always used. The Spirit is a car from the Aggression type. It's heavy, slow and seriously? It handles like a freaking boat. Slow around the corners, but very stable. It's very good in taking out the opposition with slams, nudges and t-bones. Click the left stick to hear the sirens and see the pretty lights. Use the boost for the moving radar and such. I like this car. It's really good for the Road Rage and Marked Man event types. I haven't tested it for Stunt Runs. Just too bad it's too slow for Races. Thirdly: Carson GT Nighthawk. Picture 01. Nighthawk, a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a car who does not exist. The Nighthawk is the KITT of Paradise City. Fast, furious and stealthy, this car is a force to be reckoned with. The Nighthawk is a Speed car, which means that the boost bar has to be filled before you can use it. (This is why I usually stay away from Speed cars.) This car is incredibly fast and agile. I tested it on the wrong side of the road on the I-88, the game's speedway. The car is a bit too fast for me, crashing into many a car. Pressing the left stick doesn't do something you'll see immediately. But when you boost, you'll certainly see the difference. Clicking the stick toggles the blue lightbars on the front and back of the car. I swear, it looks menacing in the dark. =P Boosting also raises the rear spoiler. This car is best used for Race and possibly Marked Man events. The boost is annoying in Road Rage, because I always boost-slam my opponents into submission. Haven't tested the Nighthawk for Stunt Runs. Last, but certainly not least: Hunter Cavalry Bootlegger (The Chicanator). Picture 01. The Cavalry Bootlegger is the Mexican General Lee. It even has the melodic horn when you click the left stick. Very fun car to drive in, it's not the most nimble of the cars, but it can keep up in Races. It's a Stunt car, so it's a good car for Stunt Runs. It's not the best car for Marked Man activities, but that's okay. Its usefulness in Road Rage more than makes up for it. I have this car in orange. Well, I hope you liked this little look into the Legendary Car Pack for Burnout Paradise! -
Star Wars: Allegiance is a book. It's an awesome book. The story takes place between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, so we see good old Luke Skywalker as a Jedi newbie. The story, written by Timothy Zahn, is great. He usually took the time to describe the looks of the characters and the backgrounds. And such. I just wish he did it with LaRone's group, since whenever I 'saw' them, they had the standard citizen heads from the BioWare game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Same with some of the minor characters. Mara Jade was awesome in the book, not as ruthless as I thought she would be. Nice sense of humour in the book as well. Buy it! Also featured in the back of the book are the prologue and first chapter of Drew Karpyshyn's book (Star Wars) Darth Bane: Rule of Two. So depressing.

So I'm going to see Watchmen this weekend, but that's not the important thing. The important thing is that I am watching Watchmen, 300 and the '04 remake of Dawn of the Dead... for English class. This is better than that time I wrote an essay about my favorite song for English class. I suppose my teaches has stopped caring, just like the rest of us, I'm a second semester senior and officially done with trying (don't read that kiddies) Also, someone should have done an Alestorm song for BBC 51 "If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning." ~Catherine Aird

I [got] Kissed [by] A Girl [woman]

And I hated it. Worst Halloween ever. It was the one person I did not want to get involved with. -
The following story is a real-life example of what I meant in this comment. I won't say any names, and some things may be slightly different, since the story dates from some time between 2005-2007. It's about obsession. There was a girl in China, I believe, who had a thing for an HK actor. She liked him a lot and she collected some of his merchandise. Everything went nicely for a while. She then started to become attracted to him, so she collected more things. And more things. And more. Over time, she slowly became obsessed with this actor. She left school so she could spend a lot of time on the internet watching his movies and videos. The girl also wrote a lot of letters. She also kept spending more on his merchandise. She spent so much, she resorted to her parents for money. She went to a meet and greet, which was very expensive. Some time later, she had spent so much, her parents didn't have anything left. The parents were feeding her obsession. Her father became depressed. Around this time, I think the actor received word of the family's financial situation, because he gave them some money. The money was soon spent afterwards. Some time later, the girl's father couldn't take his daughter's obsession any longer. He committed suicide, because he didn't know what to do. The actor heard about this and he sent the mother and daughter his condolences. Again, a little while later (days or weeks). The girl's obsession for the actor had reached its breaking point when the father died. The obsession for the actor had turned into hatred against him. The daughter blamed the actor for getting her father killed, while it was her obsession that had killed him. Later, the girl and her mother both accused the actor of killing the father. ...I'm not sure how this story ends, since I didn't follow the rest of the news about this. (It was right before my internet hiatus.) It really made me think. Were my feelings for Boa real or part of an obsession? Have I ever been obsessed with someone to begin with? After a few years of soul searching and thinking, I came to a couple of answers. Q: Have I ever been obsessed with someone? A: Yes, but only in the beginning stages. I was obsessed with the actress Kristin Kreuk. I have since put that behind me. Q: Are my feelings for Boa real? A: After years of thinking and pondering, I can say "Yes". For years, I have kept a certain distance between me and her. I'm also being realistic these days. I know that she could meet someone else and have a relationship with him (or her). If that happens, I'll be sad of course. But I'll be happy for her and I won't get in their way. I'll move on with my life after a while. I'll accept what happened. ...But if we do end up together, remind me to say: "I told ya so."

New blog name. A friend of mine suggested it (You all know him as Arch-Angel). Kinda fitting, since that is how I basically live life, not living by everyone else's rules, just my own, walking my own path that follows my rules. Of course, its more fun that way.

This is what I got for X-Mas: Absolutely nothing. (<--- Highlight.) To everyone: Be happy with what you did get.

That's my latest hobby the cards don't hurt, "it feels like being hit by a paper clip" according to the one person I hit (accidentally ) My favorite thins about it are 1. i taught myself to do it 2. the nice "crack" sound it makes when the card hits a wall I'll have to take a picture of one of my more thrown cards, because they get pretty beat up after only a few throws "The nice thing about being a celebrity is that if you bore people they think it's their fault." ~Henry Kissinger
