Some Young Avengers love. Because they so deserve it.

Proof That I'm Not a Total...

Watchers

Fave News

It occurs to me...

Fri Nov 20, 2009, 9:14 AM
  • Mood: Apprehensive
  • Listening to: Avatar:The Last Airbender score
  • Reading: Snow Crash (awesome)
  • Watching: The Guild
  • Playing: Marvel Ult. Alliance 2
I don't know if the person who made these emoticons knew what the word 'apprehensive' means. I would never equate it with Sherlock Holmes. That's more like...investigative. :shrug:

So. A friend of mine asked if I would illustrate a role playing game that he's been working on. It's a western themed thing. I agreed, thinking it would be grand fun.

It now occurs to me that I've never drawn a horse before. So yes...this is going to be more difficult than I initially anticipated. If anybody sees any good horsie drawing tutorials, drop me a line. :faint:

In other news, I hate school.

Blargh.

In the world of geekiness...I read the first issue of Spider-Man: The Gauntlet. Pretty much awesome to the power of 15. Except for the art...the art hurt my eyes. The drawing, the inking, and the colouring. But the nice thing about Spider-Man is that they switch artists every four or five issues. So I won't have to deal with this crap for too long.

I also recently came to digitally acquire a vast number of back issues of Uncanny X-Men and Excalibur (featuring my favourite mutants Kurt Wagner and Kitty Pryde) so there's a vague possibility of me becoming slightly obsessed with X-Men in the near future. ^^;

Also, the final issue of Dark Reign: Young Avengers was...not that good. I was a little disappointed. The rest of the series, while not fantastic, was at least entertaining. I thought it ended a little weakly. But that's just my opinion. It's nice to see some Young Avengers stuff getting published, I'd hate to see the team forgotten by Marvel.

And there's this other comic book company, I think it's called DC or something? I read a few of their comics this week. Titans. Teen Titans. *sighs* They were both kind of depressing.

That is all.

Okay. I just figured out what's going on.

You're on strike. You're on strike because the world mocked Canada Appreciation Day. :no:

Well I'll have you know that I have made a music video of my dumb friend and put it on Youtube. I now have 10,000,000 theoretical dollars so you don't need to strike anymore. :D

:|

I said you don't need to strike anymore. :D

:|

GOD DAMMIT! :shakefist:
:iconblivoryss:
:glomp: Agh. I feel like a tool.

At first I was on strike about Canada Appreciation Day. 'Twas a sad day for all of us canucks. :no:

But yeah...long story short, moving was a baaad idea. I'm back home now. Basically, it was a less than ideal living situation, made more so by one particular guy who happened to be the asshole landlord. Who lived with us. That added to the massive amounts of reading I've had for school led to very little in the way of internet time. And then, you know...the longer I leave it, the guiltier I feel about not having been on here, and the longer I avoid it. But yeah, I miss you guys too much, so...

Strike over! :glomp:

So where's my 10 000 000 theoretical dollars? :rofl:

:iconthe-g:
^^; It's okay. :hug: I'm just a whiny bitch who takes notice of your extended absences and feels the need to purge my outrage by spamming your profile page. 8-)

And I'm fine with that. =)

You were living with the landlord??? :O Damn...that must've been weird. I lived next door to a landlord once and that was bad enough. God damn asshole looking over the fence and then telling the realtor we needed to mow the lawn or tidy up the backyard. :shakefist: Though it was fine for him to be living in a pig sty!!!

See? I like to complain. :D

STRIKE OVER!!! :highfive: Or is it? :iconparanoidgplz: Time will tell...:ninja:

Ah yes...the ten million...^^; Uhhhhhhhh...well it shouldn't be too much longer. I'm next in line to collect my cheque, after the Star Wars Kid. :D
:iconblivoryss:
:rofl: I'm fine with it too. :D Usually when I'm away for stretches of time, I still come and glance really quickly at my messages just to see what's going on, even if I don't have time to reply. And then I'll see your comments on my profile and I have to reply. :giggle: But I actually haven't been on the site for about a month...it's really weird, I don't know why I left it so long. I think I just lose track of time. :blush:

Yeah...it's this mid-twenties guy who's dating my friend from high-school. He was just such a complete and total jerk. There aren't very many people in the world who I genuinely dislike, but he's one of them. Ok, just to warn you, there's a huge massive vent coming in 3...2...1...

GAH! The guy's just...ok, for example, he was always going on about how 'fit, skinny' girls are so much more attractive (I'm not 'fat' but I'm certainly not skinny, and it was pretty obvious the comments were directed at me) and so that really pissed me off slash was a huge blow to my ego. And one day I was saying how I didn't want to go to grad school because I hate the 'academic' attitude...which is that snotty 'I'm going to university so I'm better than everybody else' attitude, and I can't stand it. Anyway, so I was talking about that, and he says 'well we are better' and then we had this huge argument, with me saying that he is absolutely not qualified in any way to judge the worth of a person based on any sort of criteria, and him repeatedly claiming his fucking superiority. I pointed out that if everybody was an academic then the world wouldn't run very well, and his big defense was that academics would make robots. Are you fucking kidding me? AARRGGH!!!! :shakefist: And then one day he challenged me to a fight, and I figured it would be one of those typical boy vs. girl play fights, but he was really rough. (and even ignoring the fact that I'm a girl and he's a guy, because I don't want to be sexist, I had told him that I'd never been in a fight before-which is what led to the challenge-and he's bigger and stronger than me) I really should have just told him that he was hurting me, but I'm a moron and I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of my submission, so I basically took a beating before finally landing a solid kick...which happened to hit his testicles...which honestly wasn't intentional, I meant to get his stomach, but my legs are shorter than I had anticipated. :mwahaha: And then he went down and called it quits...wimp. But yeah, I wound up with bruises on my legs and arms and hip, and a massive massive bruise on my upper left arm that was bigger than a grapefruit and all red and black and blue. It was disgusting. I had to wear long sleeved shirts for two and a half weeks to avoid awkward questions...you know, people just automatically assume that you have a boyfriend who's abusing you. And then the one time a group of us were at a pub and somehow the topic of rape came in, and I'm not even going to go into what this asshole thinks about it, but suffice to say that the guy is a huge massive jackass. It's not like I think he's going to go around raping people, he just has virtually no respect for women. Example: he comes home from school one day talking about a group he was put in for a project. It was him and three girls, and his comment was 'there's nothing I like more than three submissive girls.' AGH!! Fucking disgusting asshole. And the guy's obsessed with sex. (he's a fucking hippy from Vancouver too...which is almost the worst thing about him) He resents his girlfriend (my friend) because she told him that if he's not willing to be in a monogamous relationship with her than she doesn't want to be in a relationship with him at all. And you know what, that's fine. Whatever. If multiple sexual partners and all sorts of kinky shit is what you're int, fine. I can respect that. But he doesn't respect that not everybody's like that. He thinks that if you don't have the same attitude towards sex that he does, you're sexually repressed. So he used to make fun of me because I'm not sexually active. Which didn't bother me because I would rather be like me than like him any day. He treats his girlfriend like crap (most of the time...about some things he's nice, but even when he's being nice, it's still in a very controlling way). They playfight a lot, and he is, once again, way too rough with her (and she is tiny and kind of a wimp). I mean, I've seen couples horsing around before, but the guy is always pretty gentle with the girl. When he hits her in the leg so hard that she's limping for 15 minutes...that's too much. Oh, and also, he's been comitting tax fraud. He was taking cash from people and not giving us receipts. And not claiming it as income. But about a month into my stay there he got reported because he doesn't have the proper paperwork and stuff to be renting out rooms. We were supposed to lie and say we weren't paying rent. And I wasn't going to lie for him. So I moved out. For this and many reasons do I hate the guy.

Ok. Wow. That was a really really long vent. :blush: Sorry.

Star Wars kid must have...like ten billion theoretical dollars!!

:iconthe-g:
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OHHHHHH so you still come and peek at your messages ay? Just read them and then disappear again? :shakefist: Well now that you've revealed what it takes to get you to comment you're so dead. :mwahaha: I'm not even gonna give you my usual three week grace period anymore. I'm hitting up your profile after ONE WEEK!!! :mwahaha:

Victory is mine. 8-)

:| Whoa. That guy is a complete asswipe. As I was reading through that I start getting more and more angry. I even pumped my fist a little when he got kicked in the nuts. ^^;

First off...let's get one thing straight. You are NOT fat. :X That's just stupid. You couldn't even be called overweight. Not even at a stretch. And that's not some "making you feel better" baloney...it's FACT! :shakefist: And that's all there is to it. The foot is down. The foot has spoken.

I don't know about you but I wonder what goes through these people's heads when they're along. :confused: I wonder if they have this same attitude towards everything or if it's just something that comes out around others.

I do know this type. I've met these sort of guys before. I even have some friends who are similar. :bleh: Not to a very large degree but they still have that caveman "Me man...me god" attitude. The worse thing is that I've met girls who buy into that shit. There's this one girl I know who had a boyfriend that was a complete waste of skin and guts and he was always getting her into three ways and all sorts of shit and she didn't like it or even really wanted to but she did anyway...because he was the man. :stupidme:

Maybe this guy is all talk. A lot of these guys seem to be. Compensating for something. I suspect he probably has a pindick. Kinda strange he's a hippy though. I've never known of many hippies that had a superiority complex and lauded money and sexual dominance. :O_o: I wonder why your friend puts up with that. Or how you managed to live with it for a month. :noes:

The most telling thing is the whole sex thing. You know why some people put so much importance on it? Because that's all the have in life. It's the only way they feel validated as a human being. And to mock someone for not doing the same just shows they don't understand that some people maybe put a bit more thought into things and respect people more than regarding them as vessels for their own gratification.

Seems that "I'm so much smarter than you" tough guy missed that one. :mwahaha: Which just adds to his douchery.

:lmao: Isn't that always the way. You go a month with no sign of someone and then BAM! you get a comment bigger than you could've hoped for. :iconblushplz:

No need to be sorry. :petting: I hope it helped to purge. :aww: I'll always listen to your rants no matter how long or laced with profanity. :nod:

And I don't know how you feel about being at home but it's quite a relief. :phew: If I had've read that and then at the end you were still at that place this entire comment probably would've been long pleas of "Move out Liss! Pleaaaaase! You have to get away from that poosmear! PLEEEEEEEEEASE!!!" or something like that. And that could've made me sound creepy. :iconparanoidgplz:

I wonder if the Star Wars Kid asks for his money to be in Republican Credits. :giggle:
