"I'm the boy at the other corner of the library" June 21, 2011

I'm at a weird time in my life. I'm not at the crossroads of destiny, or anything. But, I've been thinking a lot lately. I've had a lot of firsts this year. And while I might not have loved them at the time, but I now know that things probably needed to work out the way they did. It also reminds me of why I started this thing. And why I'm so miserable without a laptop. People don't forget their firsts, they do seem to forget the impact they had- the way they felt while these thogs were happening. I don't want to grow up to be cynical and bitter. I want to be wise and relatable. I haven't loved eveything this year, but I don't want to forget the way things felt, either. Is there ever an easy medium to these things?
I doubt I'm being coherient, I'm sorry. Just rambling.
Today I saw: Hey Arnold and Avatar: The Last Airbender. Oh my lord,
Today I heard: "Move it, Twinkle toes." and "Move it, football head." See a pattern.
Today I smelled: The smell of dew in the morning. I may or may not have been up until 6:00 or so.
Today I touched: Nothing productive, that's for sure.
Today I tasted: Junk. So much junk.
Please excuse all typos. I'm doing this from my phone.

"It looks like propulsion gel from Portal 2." June 10, 2011

If you followed me last summer you know that my summer sleeping habits aren't the best.

But I have no shame in saying that I went to bed at 5:30 this morning and woke up at 10:30. I own my shitty sleeping habits. However, they have caused me more harm than good. For example, it's 7:24 at night and I want to curl up and die.

Doing this might be worth it if I could see the sun rise, but it's too cloudy. So basically, it's self-sabotage.

I blame JoshJepson.

Today I saw: Plenty of LP, vlogs and music videos. Awesome levels are increased when you're watching them at 3:30.

Today I heard: The voices of people, however not people who I am legitimately having social interaction with. Who-Hah! Nerdfighters!

Today I smelled: Candle wax. But just the wax, not the candle. It's a whole weird wax thing.

Today I touched: Said wax. It smells nice, what can I say?

Today I tasted: Ramen noodles. Awesome levels are increased when eating at 4:30.

"We're delusional." June 9, 2011

Hey, guys. I know my posts lately have been short lately. And normally I'd have some silly excuse or a drawn out apologize. But honestly, it's summer. I'm not going to force myself into making long, life-changing posts every day. (Are my blogs ever life-changing?) I'm going to blog what comes to me, and that's that. I'm not going to force myself to write and then end up putting out things I don't like. So bear through some of these shorter posts. I deserve a break, too. But I will try my best to put out things worth reading. Thanks for sticking with me, guys!

Today I saw: The quartet. (Atlas, Katherine, Tiara) I really love those kids. Weirdos.

Today I heard: Lots of laughter. Delusional laughter. The laughter of tired, giggly people.

Today I smelled: The outdoors. What a foreign place.

Today I touched: Wood.

Today I tasted: Fatty, fatty foods. Just the usual.

"It turns out that we're stationary and the light was moving" June 8, 2011

Today I sat around a lot. I thought about a lot of interesting things. However, I didn't think about blogging. I'm sorry. But today was just... weird.

I never know how to describe days like this. I don't even know where to start. The days were your mind races, yet your still have that one thing on your mind.

This is a very peculiar day.

Today I saw: A really beautiful person for the last time for a while. Maybe that's why I'm out of whack.

Today I heard: KUNG FU DINO POSSE. Fo' real. Look it up.

Today I smelled: Vinilla Lace by Victoria Secret. Sounds sexy, eh?

Today I touched: Aki, my no longer nameless cat. So precious. She makes me so happy.

Today I tasted: My mom's homemade potato soup. A nice way to end a strange day.

"Follow the Flying Fish." June 7, 2011

Yo bro, this is Hippo blogging for Liz while she helps Sarah pack. Johnny is busy trying to convince me how he should write this in place of me while cursing over the tangled mess of cords that is my Wii. Anyway, I guess I can blog about something interesting...
Hm....About humanities flaws or about twitter updates from let's players?  Twitter is easier...Twitter it is

So all day Josh Jepson, Proton Jon, and Chugga A Conroy have been blowing up twitter with their fangirl squeals about the 3DS or Kinect or whatever nerdy thing they're geeking out about. And I'll admit, I was a little excited for the 3DS when I first heard about it and then got really excited after seeing a commercial for Zelda Ocarina of Time 3DS. It looks stunning and if I could I would probably get it. I know it seems like a lame revamp of an old system, but I can dig it. I see no reason to hate, plus the games they're redoing are pretty sweet, I mean, Mario Kart 64, Super Mario 64, Star Fox 64? Sweet!

Today I saw: Sun and a shit ton of tourists.
Today I heard: Screams because of brawl
Today I smelled: Dog. Lots of dog.
Today I touched:  Root beer float. Woo!
Today I tasted: The water as I jumped into it off of the dock

"Dear dogs, I know you love the smell of swimming pools, but please do not spill bleach all over the laundry room. Love, person who has to clean it all up." June 6, 2011

Top five favorite consoles (in no real order):

1. Nintendo 64
2. Nintendo DS
3. Nintendo Gameboy Color
4. Nintendo Gamecube
5. Nintendo Wii

I play too much Nintendo. I need to branch out.

Today I saw: So many of Proton Jon's #E3 tweets. So. Many. The man was geeking out.
Today I heard: Myself, a lot more than usual.
Today I smelled: Nothing. My nose is stuffed and I can't smell anything.
Today I touched: Lots of controllers. As you can see, I'm getting in touch with my gamer.
Today I tasted: Way too many strawberries. I have a feeling this is an omen for the rest of my summer.

"Prepare yourself." June 5, 2011

A list of games I am apparently too stupid to play:

1. New Super Mario Brothers Wii
2. Sonic Adventure DX
3. Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility
4. Pikmin
5. Super Paper Mario
6. Legend of Zelda; Ocarina of Time
7. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Today I saw: Lots of Portal. I replayed the first one and am half-way through the second.

Today I heard: Hippo's lovely voice. Long over due.

Today I smelled: Cookies! Aw yeah, gurl.

Today I touched: A ton of nail polish. I keep having to re-paint my nails because I try to do things with wet nails.

Today I tasted: A salad that seemed tasty at the time but has now killed my stomach.

"Oh, com'mon!" June 4, 2011

I don't think about depression or anxiety very often. I haven't suffered from either in a long time, and they don't hang over me the way they used to. But sometimes little thinks trigger me, and loom over me for a while.

YouTube has added this new feature that lets you watch movies on the website. They have a crap ton of free ones, (as well as films you have to pay for) most of them documentaries. And since I quite fancy documentaries, I picked one entitled A Summer in the Cage. It chronicles Sam, a manic-depressive 30-something dealing with this illness. Going on and off meds, spiraling in and out in life. It really is a breathtaking story that raises many fascinating questions.

And while I think the film was done very well, and with all good intentions, it is rather exploitative. It shows off mental illness in a negative light, really. Putting people with Manic Depression/ Bipolar disorder in a kind of box. But it does, until the end, appear to help Sam. And we can never really know if the things he said at the end were from a manic episode, or how he actually felt. I mean, there's no doubt he was in a episode, but we can never fully know the truth. In the end, Sam was using the project as a scapegoat, rather than as an opportunity to grow.

One huge question (That the filmmaker still doesn't know how to answer) is when to documentary filmmakers turn the camera off? When do you end a story? Especially one like this.
Anyway, it's an interesting question that I would love to hear your opinions on.

So go watch the documentary, you can find it (legally) and free here.

Today I saw: Sarah's (infamous) brother. A curious specimen.

Today I heard: The Potential Breakup Song by Ally and AJ. Do you remember that song? Good days.

Today I smelled: Adorably fat cats: Tom and Peaches. On a side note, my new female cat is currently nameless. Name ideas?

Today I touched: My nameless cat. What a sweetie.

Today I tasted: So much food. Fatty, fatty food. Delicious!
