Irritating
Maybe you'll get a laugh out of it... or maybe you'll think I'm really whiny... or maybe you'll skim it. Most probably won't even read it.

Linux
I'm going to be trying out Ubuntu. I just need to find the cord for this computer. I'm pretty excited that I may finally free myself from Windows. Anyone have any experiences with Ubuntu?
I watched a documentary on Linux/Windows/Apple and since then, I've been playing with the idea of making the switch. I like what it is, versus MAC & Microsoft.
We will see.
In other news, I think I'm going to get on the tumblr bandwagon. Why? It feels like an easier place to blog.. & will be more mobile friendly.
I checked this page from my computer, & noticed my picture was super small, but its only on Blogger. From Twitter, my pictures aren't small. Ugh. I'm going to have to play around with this.
In crafty news: I have a list of things to make (they go with my 50 things) that go with my new phone.
Can I just say that my phone is so ace? ;] after toying with the idea of an iPhone, I'm glad I was convinced to buy an Android phone. Color me a fan. ;D

Updating!
Playing around with my new HTC Thunderbolt. I think its safe to say that I'm in love & officially a "fandroid." :D now I can update on he go, since I always have my phone on me. <3
I just have to figure out how this thing works!
I added a picture of Bagheera, taken with the camera on this phone with the cinnamon filter. :] I'm loving most of the stock apps (slacker, tunewiki, etc) and I'm 100% addicted to Words with Friends. Come play with me! SweetDizz
Alright. More meaningful update soon.
XOXO

unfortunately I the only time I have to craft is at night. Someone is always at home, so I hate disrupting people with my sewing machine. Anyway, my sleep patterns are all messed up. hopefully i'll be able to get back to crafting. Next on my list is the green tote kit that I got for CHRISTMAS. >.< i've had it sitting there for way too long. it isn't even a challenging project, it's mostly about remembering to do it.
In related news, I've also have a metal punch now! I'm not 100% sure how to use it, so hopefully through some experimenting i can figure out what to do. :D I have some new jewelry magazines, so I'm going to start working on some different pieces. :D

still gaming
what have I been playing? Halo, Assassin's Creed 2, and most recently Splinter Cell: Conviction. and now i'm going to complain about all of it. fun fact: i play old games and then discuss them like they're new. yeah, i'm retarded.
first up is Halo: my "credit ban" is over. it only lasted 24 hours. I've still been playing & sucking hardcore. I have no idea why I enjoy embarrassing myself so hardcore when I'm playing. I will say that when I'm alone and playing, I'm much better.. for whatever reason that is.. especially when using Covenant weapons. Sorry Spartans, the aliens have better weapons. *kawink*
I'm not complaining about Halo. I don't take that game very seriously, so I don't really care about how hard I suck.
what am I going to complain about? Assassin's Creed 2. I have a 1000 gamerscore in that game.. completed it .. i don't know? in a week or so? I was taking "Halo breaks" while playing, so i don't know how long I actually played the game. Now, I started playing it on the PS3, however Uncharted 2 came in the mail from gamefly (either the first or second time we rented it) so I put the game down.. with the thought that I would return to it.
So I'm sitting there a few nights about & decided that I wanted to play a different game on the 360 to increase my gamerscore. I don't know why it matters to me, but I wanted to do it. Plus, I'm halfway decent at "3rd person" games, so I figured it would be fairly easy for me. I pop in the game.. about 20 minutes into it.. i remember why I threw my controller down in rage so much. Seriously. I don't know how many times I said (sarcastically) "OH YEAH, I TOTALLY WANTED YOU TO JUMP THERE ASSHAT." or my ever famous phrase "REALLY??!!!" Overall it was a horrible experience. Climb some buildings, collect a shitload of feathers for your mute mom.. who then makes them into a cape (??) which makes you instantly notorious. Why anyone would want a cape that immediately makes you suspicious is beyond me. not to mention the RIDICULOUS voice acting. (with the exception of the guy in the animus, who is voiced by the same guy who does Nathan Drake <3 <3<3) So i finish all the stupid non-story related achievements & finish the game. Overall I was not impressed. hopefully if they're making another one, they'll play "Uncharted" to see exactly what platforming games are supposed to do. I didn't ever yell at Nathan Drake.. so thanks Naughty Dog, for making an amazing game.
then I picked up Splinter Cell: Conviction. I'm currently on the "Whitebox Chapter" & I have literally said "SERIOUSLY? WHAT THE FUCK." about a dozen times. The game feels less stealthy than the others. not to mention they took away my whistling ability. for those of you that don't know, I do that whistle in real life. Not to mention I'm not wearing that stupid ass uniform. It's stupid, but SO FUCKING COOL. How am I supposed to be thoraxe the impaler if I look like Sam Fisher? Come on now.
I do want to try the Co-Op, because that was always more fun. Although, if my co-op partner isn't familiar with Splinter Cell Co-Op Theater, they may come to the conclusion that I'm borderline retarded. I'm enjoying Conviction, but not as much as I thought I would. I even had to change the difficulty to Normal. :[[[[[[[[[[[ BOO. It's okay, because I usually like to play through games twice anyway. Once on an easier difficulty, and then again on the hard difficulty so that I know what I'm doing. On a positive note, I already have several chapters completed on Realistic, before i finally had to nix it and say.. NVM. NTY. I think most of my annoyance is because I haven't tried co-op yet, and that's where the fun is. Do i love games? yes. do i love to LAUGH at games? HELL YES. When I played through RE5, I muted the TV and Matthew and I did the voice overs ourselves.
"Hold on, let me check my facebook."
that's what makes the game fun.
Anyway, I currently own a metal punch & some fun washers, so I plan on making some fun stuff. xD I'll update when I do. <3 I went to a local bead store, only to find that it's been closed. :[[ I guess I'll have to make a trip to Jo-Anne's instead. <3
I haven't been stenciling, but my next project is obviously going to be a Third Echelon stencil on something. I'm playing conviction, so I may as well, right? :P what whaaaat?!
Well, this one was all over the place. Maybe I'll do a "life update" soon. although, probably not.. because i have some not-so-nice things to say.
XOXO
