Q&A

HAY! So, I enjoyed listening to Tate and Austin's new Q&A video so much that I've decided I feel like doing my own. If you have any questions you'd like answered, feel free to leave them either in a comment on here, on my Facebook page, or as a youtube message. Once I get a substantial number of 'em, I'll make a video.

If you haven't seen this on my Facebook page already, here's a photo of Kai's new cage:
It's up on its side, it's supposed to lay down. Unfortunately, I won't be able to set it up until I eventually move to a new place, so poor little Kai will have to wait a while for his new home. :<

Blood, Parties, and Sonic Stream

Busy bussyyyyy! So much has been going on.

The manager at my job just moved away a few days ago. He's been there since the store opened, like I have, so he's going to be sorely missed. He pretty much held the store together, so I fear for the future of my store with him out of the picture. Some things have already gone a bit wrong, so it's very troubling. I'm pretty much ready to jump ship before things get worse. I hope I get that flight attendant job soon.

On Thursday, we had a goodbye dinner for my manager, and then I went to a pool party at a friend's house. We watched a couple of B-movies, Wild Zero and Samurai Cop. Samurai Cop is my favorite B-movie ever, so I was very happy to share it with a group of friends. It's so bad (bad in a bad way AND a good way at the same time!).

On Friday, I went to see Evil Dead the Musical. It was sooooo amazing! It was hilarious, and the best part is that my friends and I were sitting in the splatter zone. You know what that means?! We got soaked in blood. I even bought a white dress before the show just so it could get all bloody.

I wish you could see my legs in the photo. They had blood alllll over them.
After the show, we decided to go downtown with blood all over us. People were looking at us like we were crazy the whole night, so it was pretty awesome. We went to 80s night again, and somehow, dancing to 80s music with blood all over you makes it so much more fun.

I went to another party on Saturday evening, and it was a little lame. It was mainly just people playing Rock Band the whole time, but at least one of my friends made some awesome brownies that he brought. I had also been invited to a Pokemon party that night, so I kind of wish I had gone to that one instead. Oh well.

So, a very special anniversary just happened on the 23rd! Do you know which one it was? You better! Say it with me, now! SONIC THE HEDGEHOG'S 20TH BIRTHDAY! That fat little blue guy has been around for TWENTY YEARS, and though he'll probably never return to his former glory, at least those exceptional Genesis/Mega Drive games can be honored until the end of time. To celebrate this joyous occasion, I'll be doing a stream of Sonic 1 very soon. I'm not sure exactly when, but I'll keep you posted! Just so you know, it isn't going to be a typical play-through of the game. ;D

New job soon...?

Lately, I've been all into the idea of becoming a flight attendant. I've been needing a new job, and a girl that I know who has been a flight attendant for a few years told me about her job. After looking into it, I decided that it's a perfect job for me. I've always loved flying, and I've been really itching to travel more for a while now. Well, yesterday, I was informed by that girl that they would be hiring today!

I filled out a job profile on their website and uploaded my resume and all that jazz. Today, just as she said, a job opening appeared on the site! I submitted my application right away, and now it's time to wait. I'm really hoping for the best. However, if I don't get it, I'll just apply again next time. I think I'm super qualified for this job, though, with all my customer service and child care experience.

Saw my parents last night, we had a yummy meal at Pei Wei. Afterwards, I went to a show, and it was really fun. I actually brought my dad with me, and I also brought my friend Noah. There were four bands, one of them of course being my friend's band, Random Encounter. The others were The Amazing BrandO (who you're probably familiar with), Zombies Organize, and last, but not least, Captain Dan & The Scurvy Crew. Captain Dan was absolutely hilarious! It's a pirate rap group. What more do I need to say? You should check them out, you won't be disappointed.

So I stole a couple of ride photos today from Disney's photo site. I had been putting it off since my last trip there, but I decided to finally do it today since they'll be deleted from the site soon.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz
Those girls hated us.
Test Track is currently one of the only rides I can steal photos from.

Since my birthday is in about a month and a half, my mom is already asking me to make a birthday list. I know my parents read my blog, so I'm making a list on here so you can find it easily, Mama! Since I have no idea of what I want really badly (besides expensive things that are too much for anyone to buy), I'm just thinking of random things I've been wanting. It's still a work in progress.

Awesome movie ticket deal

Hey guys, I just wanted to share this awesome deal for movie tickets from LivingSocial.com:


For $9, you get two tickets from Fandango.com. That's $4.50 a ticket! It's hard to find movies that cheap nowadays, and you can even use this for opening nights and such. I don't think you can use them for 3D movies or IMAX movies, but 3D movies are nonsense anyway.

This deal probably only works for Americans and Canadians, but I'm not sure exactly. I just wanted to pass the word along, since finding bargains is a hobby of mine (as you all know).

I hope you guys enjoyed my Disney video spam. That's pretty much it for my Disney videos from my last trip, but I'll try to have some other things uploaded soon!

Out of curiosity, what types of videos are you interested in seeing? I'm sure a lot of you want gaming videos, but I don't really have the means for that sort of thing right now, since I can't record any graphically-intensive stuff with my laptop, and I don't have a capture device for my consoles. However, I can record old games just fine, so that's one option I guess. I dunno, tell me whatcha want!

The most wonderful time of the year (for gamers)

Well, it's that time again! E3 is here! As you probably know, several of the big press conferences happened today. Honestly, there wasn't a whole lot announced that I care much about. Pretty much nothing in the Microsoft conference interested me, though the Kinect stuff was fun to watch because of how terrible it was. I hear the new Tomb Raider looks awesome, but I missed that trailer since I tuned in too late. I'll have to watch it later.

Ubisoft's conference was mostly crap, EA's didn't have much I cared about, and Sony's was full of a lot of boringness, aside from Uncharted 3 and Vita. I must say that Vita is looking quite cool. It definitely isn't something I care to buy at launch, but I'd like to own one eventually. It's certainly seems to have MUCH more potential than the PSP ever had. I saw a few quick shots of a new Vanillaware game on Vita. They made Odin Sphere and Muramasa, and I'm in love with the style of those games, so I'm quite happy to see a new game by them in the works.

Well, I guess we shall see what goodies (and fails) Nintendo will have for us tomorrow! Let's see, what else have I been up to lately?

Oh yeah, I went to a bar/venue with some friends on Friday for 80's night. I had a great time dancing to all those 80's hits! I didn't drink though, just danced. I did leave to get two vegan hot dogs at one point, because they're YUM SO GOOD. I don't go out and do stuff like that very often, so it was fun to do something different for a change. My friends kept begging me to go, and I finally caved. I'm glad I went!

Some of my fellow Nerdy Show members have their own Dungeons & Dragons campaign they've been doing for a while, and it's called Dungeons & Doritos. They had me do some voice acting for their most recent episode, so you can listen to that here if you're interested. My parts start at about 84 minutes in. I do a couple different characters.

Since a few of our Nerdy Show guys are over in LA for E3 right now, we're recording short podcasts with them each night to get a little recap of their day and to discuss the various E3 shenanigans. The one from tonight should be up early tomorrow, so head on over to the Nerdy Show site if you want to check those out:

So, I've been thinking about dying my hair black again. I'm not sure if I want to do it or not, since my hair has finally mostly returned to it's natural color from before I dyed it the first time. I liked having black hair, though, since it makes for a nice contrast with blue eyes. It also makes me look more like my mom, because her hair is very dark. The good thing about the dye I use is that it isn't permanent, so I have black hair for several months before it starts slowly fading back to my natural color. It isn't something I'll be stuck with for many years until my hair grows all the way back out. You guys have seen enough recent photos/videos of me with my natural hair color, but here are a couple of photos and a video of me with black hair. They're like the only ones I could find. (click for larger images)






So, after seeing the photos/videos and comparing, tell me: Should I dye it black again? I'm making a poll for it, so feel free to vote there, and leave a comment about it if you so desire!

Have a lovely night, you lovely people.
