Zach's Blog

Been a while since I last posted an entry. I really would like to keep my Comm. Blog alive. :P I guess all there is to report is that I have 90+ Mining and am finding some free time in between three jobs. The schedulers are accommodating me and my wishes. Hello to everyone, and a special shout out to the Tip.It Crew. I miss you all! <3: <3:

Well, double XP weekend is around the corner, And I'm asking the questions on everyones minds. Are you prepared? If so, how did you go about preparing? What skill or skills are you going to train? Personally, I'm going to be snagging a fair few Fletching ranks. If you read my last post you know I just hit 14M XP, which is a milestone for me. I'm hoping to hit at least 15M. But I digress. Back on topic, how much money or time did you spend on buying or gathering resources? Do you care about how the economy turns around when they announce double XP weekends? Do you hate the days it falls on this time? (I work each day) :( So go ahead and answer the questions in the comment section below. And by the way, I'll actually be doing Vlogs soon! I'll just embed the videos here. So, be prepared for that in the near future! And if you have any questions for me, go ahead and PM me or ask in your comment and I'll answer it in the next entry!

That's what I did today. About 250K+ Xp in the skill. I also love my outfit. Other than that one Runescape related thing, the only other semi-cool thing I did today was worked. And then played League of Legends with friends. We did a 3V3 and it lasted an hour and a half (they only last 35-40 minutes on average.) It was the most intense game I've ever played. Ahh, well. It's 4:56 AM so I'm going to go to bed.

I went to class from 10:00 AM to about 12:00 PM. Got a call from my best friend asking if I'm busy. I'm not. So I head on over there. I get another call, from two other good friends, asking if I'm busy. We're not. So we head to his house and play some SSB:B. After that, we go to the gas station and I get some gas. I drove. After getting gas we went to the outdoor mall. I went in to where a girl I know works. We chatted for a little bit, and decided we would hang out sometime soon. I know we won't. We then left to head home. I drop off my two friends at their house, and then take my best friend home. I force him to drive because I'm tired. I came home and watched Tosh.0, it was pretty funny. I ate some chips before I went upstairs into my room and loaded up RuneScape, League of Legends, Grooveshark, and the forums. I browsed the forums for a short while before logging into both games. I decided to be nice and I bought TheKoolKandy's blue dragon mask for 18,242,960 GP outright since he wanted to sell it badly. I really don't mind that it's crashing. Hopefully someone may try to get it off the GE, I have it in there for minimum, as well as a wolf mask. I said good night to the chat and played a few rounds of League of Legends, I did alright, but we lost the majority of the games due to my being absent minded. I said good night to my friends in game and logged out. I switched over to Grooveshark and put on some As I Lay Dying to listen to while I browsed the forums. I noticed Racheya locked the thread I told her to, since it was really no use having two threads for the same thing (the new clothing update.) I posted my new outfit in the more popular clothing thread, I've grown quite fond of it. I have my TV on next to me, with my PS3 on as well. I'm debating between Assassin's Creed 2 or Batman Arkham Asylum. I probably won't play either of them though. I think I might try to get some rest now though.

As it turns out, we had homework in my first class. I however, did not know about it. So, way to go Zach! On the second day of class you managed to not turn in the first homework assignment! :thumbdown: On top of all this, I'm starving and class JUST started. So I won't be able to eat for probably 3 hours. :( Not a good start to my college career. However, one good thing cane out of today, (other than the forum updates) I got a call from the girl I had lunch with yesterday. I was a bit nervous when I answered but that quickly faded when she said she wants me to accompy her to her dorm when she leaves on Friday, and that should be fun. :) In conclusion for you tl;dr people--I didn't do my first homework assignment, I'm starving and can't eat, I'm hanging out with a girl all day on Friday.

I'd like to take the time to give a huge shout-out to Peter (Pure_MageUK) for giving us fantastic additions to the forums these past few days. The one I'm most happy about is the display name, though. :) I hated "IIBowsII" with a passion, and since I moved quickly, I was able to snipe "Bows" and also be the first one to change his display name, Das even left a comment on my profile saying I was. :P Anyway, this entry is short seeing as I have class in about an hour and need to get ready. Maybe I'll use the IPB app on my iPhone to browse the forums during downtime, who knows; but education comes first. ;) I'm gonna grab a bite to eat and head on out, talk to everyone later!

I don't know what I like about this song. It's so weird because I usually despise this kind of music. Not Ke$ha in general though, I don't have a problem with her. But it's odd to me... SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY I LIKE IT! Oh, and this song too. Like, what the hell. Lol.

I also laughed so FREAKING HARD at this comment on the "TiK ToK" video.

I wake up in the morning

Feelin' like OJ Simpson

I got my knife, I'm out the door

I'm gonna kill some women.

I know, it's terrible, but it's still funny.

Well, my folks recently bought a house, so today is the house-warming party. There will be quite a few people here, and I'm not really looking forward to it. Thank god I can go drive down and pick up a few of my friends and have them over. My older brother is here too, but I think I said that in my last entry. :unsure: Anyway, we'll probably just end up sitting in my room playing SSB:B or PS3. I'm having the girl I have a thing for come over as well, and maybe a few other candidates just in case I see a deal breaker with Jaimie anywhere along the line. So yeah! And just because I can... I'm gonna upload the pictures of my Starcraft Battle Chest, and both of my Diablo games. :) I can't find my first Diablo, though. :(

School is ok so far, though it's only my third day. My classes are pretty laid back, cool teachers, etc. On Tuesdays class starts at 3:00 PM with Intro to Illustration and Storyboarding. That goes until 6:50 PM (Rarely, she lets us out early she says.) at 7:00 PM It's upstairs to the art center, for my Intro to Animation class. We get GIGANTIC Mac computers, I have a picture of it, so I'll upload it. That class ends at 9:50 PM and then it's time for me to go home. :) Wednesdays are basically free days for me, Bowling starts at 10:00 AM at the local bowling alley, and last till around 1:00 PM, or whenever he decides we're good to go, and that's all my Wednesdays have. :P Thursdays (today) are basically a free day up until around 6:15 PM, which is when I leave for Intro to Animation from 7:00 PM to 9:50 PM again, I have that class on both days. Then Friday I work, Saturday I work, and Sunday I work. :) Monday is my only actual day off, and on Monday I've set up a lunch date with an old friend that I haven't seen since 6th grade, that's at 1:00 PM at my work. Should be a lot of fun to catch up. :) Anyway, that's all for today! Talk to everyone after class! <3:

Here's the computer. :P

Also, the bomb on my binder was drawn by yours truly. :P

Let me start with this.

It's amazing how seeing one little thing can bring back such a plethora of memories, emotions and feelings. The emotions are a mix, the feelings are indescribable and the moment lasts hardly more than a few seconds, but it felt like a lifetime.

I say that, because it's true. We've all experienced it, or something close to that feeling.

To start the entry off PROPERLY, I'll just say that woman are quite confusing. I'm tired of the games. If you like me, you like me. If you don't, explain that you aren't looking for a relationship. Or you aren't interested in dating me. Do something! But just don't leave me in the dark. I'll edit this with more in a minute, I must attend to my noodles.

Basically my life is being taken over by work. I work so much now, and it's just constant moving (I work at a Chili's) so I'm always tired, and I never have time to do anything else, and I hate it. I doubt this was worth a blog entry. But whatever, I doubt anyone bothers with mine anyway. But yeah. I'm upset about it, but in reality idgaf.

I'm addicted to this song, as well as "White Satin" and "Dark Side Dub." Dark Side Dub is made entirely with sounds from the Star Wars motion pictures. ;)

White Satin is below.

And here's Dark Side.

So I got back into WoW, almost have my Undead Mage to level 80. Pretty excited because it'll be my first 80 character.

Meanwhile, back at the Batcave:

I keep getting lame slayer tasks - like Basilisks. I hate those damn things.

My older brother (21) is down from San Fransisco for the Fourth of July weekend, so enjoying some time with him :)

My girlfriend is going to be doing a photo shoot sometime next week. I'll post the pictures she allows me too, guys. No worries ;)

Uhhhhh, other than that... nothing else really big is going on. :) Talk to everyone soon!
