I just bought my first car!! *dances* I bought a Scion xD (yes that is the actual name of the car). It's white and while I didn't really want white the guy pushed the value of my trade-in up $400 if I took the white on off their lot. So yay! I also got a monthly payment I can easily afford and found out I have an AWESOME credit rating especially with my age and such.

My new car is freaking awesome! It's got power locks AND power windows *squee* I'm so happy about that since my old one didn't. Plus, it's got a special cord for my iPod so I can listen to it through the stereo and use the wheel buttons to change the song, etc. There is also a normal aux cord for other types of MP3 players. It's got a lot of safety features including vehicle stabilization or something like that to keep the car from rolling over on sharp turns and such. At the moment it doesn't have a name or gender, but we're getting to know each other. x3

I Am A: Lawful Neutral Human Druid (2nd Level)


Ability Scores:

Strength-13

Dexterity-10

Constitution-13

Intelligence-15

Wisdom-13

Charisma-12


Alignment:
Lawful Neutral A lawful neutral character acts as law, tradition, or a personal code directs him. Order and organization are paramount to him. He may believe in personal order and live by a code or standard, or he may believe in order for all and favor a strong, organized government. Lawful neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you are reliable and honorable without being a zealot. However, lawful neutral can be a dangerous alignment because it seeks to eliminate all freedom, choice, and diversity in society.


Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.


Class:
Druids gain power not by ruling nature but by being at one with it. They hate the unnatural, including aberrations or undead, and destroy them where possible. Druids receive divine spells from nature, not the gods, and can gain an array of powers as they gain experience, including the ability to take the shapes of animals. The weapons and armor of a druid are restricted by their traditional oaths, not simply training. A druid's Wisdom score should be high, as this determines the maximum spell level that they can cast.

So now I believe it is time to retire Makoto (my laptop). My brother killed the power cord with the footstool on accident. Due to a lack of money and the realization that I have a kick ass desktop (Satsuki just doesn't like our internets) I took Mum's advice and got one of those mini computers. It's name is ChibiChibi and so far I'm feeling pretty good about it. Still a bit wary about the whole Windows OS, but there's hope. I plan on just using it for day to day net activities and IMing. All the graphics and other stuff will have to be on the desktop.

I'm sure I'll have another update about the continuing progress of it eventually.

Dear People with Jobs,

For the sake of your coworkers PLEASE actually do your job. All slacking leads to is someone who is already doing the work of three people and managing to go to school at the same time has to take up your slack and take the heat for deadlines that YOU missed.

Go die.


So I had to take the heat for about $26,000 worth of sales being held up because one of my coworkers was not doing his job. He was holding things up and not telling anyone when he needed something. Seriously he just sat on the work until someone gave him what he need. How the hell am I supposed to know that you need the art unless you tell me you do? I"m already doing the work that it used to take three people AND i was trying to go to school. Now i've dropped my class and am working overtime and answering to about seven people for something that wasn't my fault!!

On top of that the other company that provides us with the art has some complete dick in their art department. We have titles we ordered at the BEGINNING OF DECEMBER that they still haven't given us the art for! We put all of this information on the sheet to tell them what version we need, match the title to the author, even give them the ISBN of the PROPER version and they still manage to screw that up. BrillianceAudio is so GRRRR!! *stabs a paper with a pencil repeatedly*

I'm exhausted and thought I could handle it without a rant, but it's four days and I'm still having the finger pointed at me! I've gotten the major rush orders out and I'm working on all the others, but I'm human and I still have other things I need to be doing. Plus, I wasn't able to sleep last night until late so the lack of sleep broke me a little.

Now that everyone involved has had their two cents put in it should go a little smoother. I'm getting the covers to the print room so they can get the orders out. Some of my other jobs are suffering a little, but I at least managed to touch one of my other set of covers today. Maybe tomorrow I can finish up my fliers and get to the rest of the work that's been sitting on my desk for the past four days. *sighs*

/end rant

So we finally have internet in our house. Still unpacking and all of that, but we're moving a little slow since I'm inundated with school work, mum's exhausted, sister's pregnant, brother is sick and nick is sick. Oh well, we'll get it done eventually.

School is almost over, too. ^^ I've finished my art class and I got an A. *happy dance* Tomorrow I'm turning in my creative writing portfolio then that class will be finished. Unfortunately that's the end of the easy work. I've got to do research and write a 10 page paper in a week. I'll manage I'm sure. This Friday is our work Christmas party. It's also my birthday. On Sat mum says she's dragging me out for a drink since it's legal. Then Sunday we're celebrating my birthday by baking Christmas cookies ^^

And the best news of all is that it's 11 days until I go to Vancouver!! XDD

Move  
Just a quick update from work. I won't be online until the 10th because we have no internet at the house. Verizon is stupid and I'll go into more detail later when I can either sneak off to the library or somewhere else with free internets.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I feel watching the election results here. I'll keep my celebration to a minor finger dance.

c) Tell you something I like about you.

d) Tell you a memory I have of you.

e) Ask you something I've wanted to know about you

My Chinese Coach for the DS has taken part of my soul. I got it because I knew I needed a refresher course for chinese and I needed something to keep from forgetting the language entirely since I had to drop my Chinese lit course this semester.

Originally I was going to use podcasts and self teaching, but I'm a lazy ass and I tend to zone out when listening to stuff like that. I was looking for a memory card since mine decided to fry last night Why the hell do you say I have no room on the 1GB card when there is NOTHING on it?! ;.; and decided to meander around Best Buy and see what I could see. After being asked seven times by seven different "associates" if I needed help and having told them I was just meandering I settled in front of the DS games. I saw the game and was like "well, I know I'm not playing games right now, but when I do this will be useful" I got bored tonight and was putting off doing homework since it's kind of like my Friday (although I still work tomorrow) so I popped it in my DS and started playing. I went on strong for about 2 hours until the batteries died. ^^;

Just my own knowledge bumped me up to Lesson 10 and I got all the way to Lesson 15 before it crapped out on me. I was remembering about half of the characters in the lessons and some I swear Fu Laoshi never taught us. There's also a speaking side to it, but since it's late and with paper thin walls and someone sleeping on the two sides of my room I figured I shouldn't work on that right now. I will later though because I know I need to remember the tones better ;.;

Okay I'll stop rambling now lol.
