I was doing so well too. I faiiiiiiled my driving test
Reason: 40 mph in 30 mph zone.
It bothers me a little because everyone in the world, especially in California.. Speeds. Even in the slow lane, especially on the freeway.
The reason it was an instant failure is because by law, 10 mph over the speed limit enables a police officer to cite you for speeding. Why did I speed? I wasn't sure about the questions I was allowed to ask and worried that it would count against me while in motion. I was told I could have asked what the current speed limit was in a particular strip of street. The speed limit dropped to 30 while we were already going 40 in a 45mph zone but I didn't see a 30mph sign, so I am left a little confused.
The next time I take it, sometime in December, I'll make sure to drive 4 mph below the speed limit and drive overly cautious. :l

SOMETHING SOMETHING daaaaaay. Let's build the anticipation for something wholly unimportant that everyone's done before by posting about it before taking it but that's not why I'm posting so I'll just cut out those bits.
I popped on Digitally Imported Hard Dance channel for some reason because I think all the music in it sound like their General Electronica channel did five years ago.
I am sleepy and all I hear is "This is mind blow ing" and POW I'm hit with intense, energetic beats by someone named .. DJ Bluecore - Live @ A.P.A. 2008. I really love high energy electronica. It must never stop. Even noisecore I love. I despise the slow interlude usually. The interlude has to maintain a speed in keeping with the rest of the music. The sudden slow breaks are what kills the pace, not building anticipation. I wanna be a flailing fixture being strung out by an electrical wire. That's why I listen to HI-NRG when I do seek out this sort of shallow stuff. The music has no real depth to it. It's just a beat with no message. That's fine. That's what I want. It helps me blot out the problem that is my self-doubt and makes a lot of tasks a lot more enjoyable. It alters my state of mind. It produces Negative Stat adjustment to Intelligence.
Also, it makes me hard when I hear electronic voices singing. Like a normal voice saying "As I rise agai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-n-nn-n-nn-nnnnnn" as though she were trilling that tiny part of the word at about the speed of sixteenth notes, drumming it out machinegun killer. URGH.
"As I rise again, and I look out across the burning sky... I'll be frozen here with you.. again."
Edit: Also here are some Mountain Goats and their live music, the track is "Slow West Vultures" from the album We Shall All be Healed.
The song is sung FARRRRR DIFFERENTLY FROM THE CD TRACK but that's why it's so cool. A little gig and mixing it up.

Book Meme.
Page 56.
I figure that since I have so few books under my belt. I'll just do all the ones I can see around me.
"He hesitated for a full second, then pressed the bulb, watching the liquid rush into the vein as if sucked by the silent thirst of his blood."
Second Book.
I don't know how to handle dialogue. I'll just count entire strings of dialogue as a whole sentence, even if they're technically multiple sentences so this is more interesting, y'know.
"Let's go up there and *castrate* that fucker," he said, waving his new knife around in quick circles in front of his teeth."
Third book
"Talbert's library of cheap photo-pornography is in fact a vital literature, a kindling of the few taste buds left in the jaded palates of our so-called sexuality."
Fourth book
"Drivers 15 to 19 years old have very high traffic *accident*, *injury*, and *conviction* rates."
Fifth book
"Again, my wind was knocked out, but even in my pain I heard a female voice cry out, "Ooh, that's the most disgusting thing I've ever seen."
Sixth book
Lame
"It must have been rush hour."
Welllllll.. It's written CONVERSATIONALLY, so I'll go ahead and break the rule. It continues on..
"I glanced over at the Coin-Op laundry sign and the song-head stared tickling."
Ok, that's all. Ding dong.

Bank fraud. Woo. TheMothership.net and something called MB hotplanet.
One is a web hosting service I've never heard of. The other brought up a lot of debit fraud hits with its name alone.
The Bank is handlin' it already.

Why are you afraid of who you are?
Why can't we ever speak directly to one another?
Why is it that whenever I try to talk about something real, something that has meaning to me, something that might reveal some truth about ourselves...
Why is it that you hide?
Why do you hide behind an I dunno?
Why?
You won't tell me.
So it hurts me more when I have to remind myself that you're my friend.

Sooooooo an opportunity just opened up. Staying with my friend Andrew and paying rent there is probably the best opening ever so far. I dunno how much it's gonna cost yet but I guess I'll find out. At the very least, this is more time to work with. Hopefully. So I just need to relay this information.

My mind is annoying! It picked this song out to play on loop in my head. Soooooo I went and looked for it online to fill in all the many gaps.

Anywaaaaaay.. I feel comfortable again knowing that I'll at least have some place to go even though it's looking like O-hi-o. Mmhmmm.
There is one possibility, but both he and I feel it's not going to work, so I'm not banking much hope in it.

I feel really disheartened right now. I'm not going to be able to afford staying in California, so I'm trying to make plans to leave for Ohio soon.
Timelimit is "out before 12th"

I estimate I have a little less than 20 days remaining before I must reconsider my original plans.

I like this song called Warrior Soul by Kiuas.
I dunno why! You can listen to it on this video thing here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9ELjN39MzE
The character is in a fighting game you may recognize. As far as tournament play goes, the Ganondorf character is considered Low Tier. This means that he is not only extremely difficult to play with, but in-practice other characters have an easier time defeating him in one on one combat. Despite that, he's probably one of my most favorite-est characters to choose from aside from Samus, whom is much higher up the list than Slowman-ondorf.
He's very slow, the evil guy, but he's got one of the most damaging movesets! And by slow, I mean after or during he attacks, he is left vulnerable before the attack's damage zone appears, making it easy for many characters to 'stuff' his moves, and after the attack launches, even if it hits, it is possible to hit him when the move's animation is on 'cooldown', a period of time where the player cannot make their character perform any actions until the animation ends.. There is usually a penalty for spamming moves with longer cooldowns than would appear with a hit and since many of his moves are slow, it's easy to miss, and he becomes easy to punish during his cooldown.. But he has evil manly appeal and he comes from the desert and hits like a tank crash!
So like the "Q" character from Street Fighter Third Strike, he is extremely difficult to play, is considered a poor character against many others but hits with fierce strength.. It's better to call him an 'advanced character'. c.c;

So I'm kind of just floating in limbo right now, trying to find my dad so I can move in with him. The number I found written by the telephone lead to no answers, so as an alternative I'm getting a friend local to this here place to look for apartments with me though he still needs to come here.
I'm not sure how long I'll be tolerated as a tenant, but I suppose I'll find out and am at the same time looking at getting a job and carpooling with one of those friends. So it seems to look not as bleak as I'd assumed at first and my mother knows about my situation and is willing to help since I've tried not to ask for any help ever and this looks like the first time I'm gonna need any.
One of the two friends has financial concerns over rooming up with us. I'm pretty sure that if all three of us roomed up together, it would be well below the maximum he'd pay rent for, so it should just be a matter of convincing him to go forward with us.

So. I'm moving out. To... Somewhere. I'm not sure yet. Either I'm going to go back home to my mother in Ohio, or I'm going to have to find somewhere in California to stay and it doesn't seem like that is much of a possibility.

The new Street Fighter 4 character "Crimson Viper" looks like something some of my friends might like. Sorta. Since she looks like a human version of several of our silly characters. c.c;
Some dominant looking woman wearing a suit with strange, almost Sigil-like hair.
