Okay I think I've reached a point where I can say I'm back on a regular basis. I can now stop in here to DA roughly every other day or so.

I have three computer's in my room right now. 2 of them have dead power sources and the last one was built in 1990. Needless to say the majority of parts are completely incompatible with the others. Besided that I don't have a working keyboard that is compatible with it. BUT there is a bit of hope as I've devised a plan that may help. I can trade my super badass keyboard that I have (which plugs in via USB) for my dad's regular crappy keyboard. I don't think he'll mind temporarily trading up for a better keyboard while I use his. My laser mouse died, but due to my hoarding of all things neat I had 2 back up regular mice.
Today I managed to swipe a 40gig external plug and play harddrive. So assuming that I can make it compatible with windows 98 I'll be able to get all the information that's left on my old comp, wipe it out and restore it so I can reinstall all the necessary programs I need to start making more art. I might even be able to reload some of my old games like starcraft and Diablo II to keep me occupied when I'm not getting sex XD.
So in sumation to this little explaination; hypathetically I should be able to start making new arts stuffs by the end of the day assuming I put in the tireless work of formatting and restoring a computer to a reasonably useable level.

Now onto personal life. I'm in the process of enrolling into Grayson County College. I've submitted my application and assuming I can get a copy of my transcript from Cedar Valley Community College, I'll be able to fill out a FASFA and hopefully get money to actually pay for some classes. If all goes well, I hope to have enough money left over to get a crapmobile car and hopefully a month's rent for an apartment near the school. From there I should be able to finally get a job, if nothing else a minimum wage gig in order to help my Girlfriend make some of her ends meet.

The problem is that this all sounds good in theory, however the downfall is that this plan relies on the approval of many key individuals such as the grant office approver...guy for the money, as well as any employers willing to consider me for hire, not to mention the apartment manager, as well as anybody selling a shitty car for an affordable price.
Basically if I can get the money to get a fucking start I can actually try to earn my way out of the poverty level of my irresponsible father. As it stands, apparently the rest of society expects him to be the one to give me the money to get started. If I can get people to realize that I'm 100% on my own, then maybe I can get a little help from outside sources. If I have to wait for my father to do anything for me, I'll be stuck being peasant trash with the rest of my family forever.

Other than the typical being trapped bullshit, everything is peachy. I have a wonderful girlfriend who is overworked, underpaid, overstressed, and being blocked at every turn for things she does... That all makes for good sex XD. She gets to take out her anger and frustration with a world of idiot by converting the energy into something positive through the outlet of the wild sex. As for me, I'm mellow as I've ever been. I can't find any random desires to kill people anymore with the exception of maybe my dad for being such a failure in life. He's exactly like every other white trash person who bitches about things that are well within his control. For god's sake he makes over 40k a year. We're in a 2 bedroom apartment barely making rent and a car payment. We are completely out of food. Normally we at least have a bunch of poor people food, but now we don't even have that. I might go jump someone so I can get money for ramen . That's just fucking sad.

On a lighter side of life I'm still trying to get a stable Dungeons and Dragons group together. I have 4 people who want to play and can meet at regular intervals. Currently we meet on wednesdays at the cafe at Grayson County College. However the cafe is a horrible place to play due to the many distractions of food, TV, noise, and other random friends who think they're too cool to play DnD (dumbasses).

Aside from having a bad place to play, Wednesdays is also the day they give out free food at the Baptist Student thingy center which happens to start exactly in the middle of our planned session time. So I as the DM need to find a better place for us to play where we can all meet without distractions, on a day and time different than that of the jesus freaks who feed us. I can't say I blame the group for choosing the food over gaming... I mean... I myself am also in need of being fed due to the food shortage at home. But it's soooo fucking annoying for a good DnD opporunity to fall apart after so much work has been invested into it already. Any DMs and serious Players out there reading this could definately relate. Finding a good group is fucking retarded hard for us die hard role players. Everyone who normally wants to play are just a bunch of dorks who heard about DnD and wanna see what it is. They don't take it seriously and they end up screwing off the majority of the gametime. Us REAL Roleplayers want to go on an adventure and scrounge up some good treasures all the while having fun torching monsters and decapitating impudent nay-sayers.

Alas... more work is needed before I can claim to have succesfully established a working Dungeons and Dragons group.

My Kingdom of Loathing game is going awesome. All my multi-characters have been deleted due to inactivity. My main however is in a prime position. I can ascend to a new character anytime; I'm high enough level to make the highest quality of Alcoholic drinks (which gives me mega adventure per day boost); I have most of the absolute best equipment needed for money farming by killing monsters; I'm pulling in roughly +100k per day (the item of the month costs roughly 3.5 million in game monies); and I have recently befriended a high level person who can cook the best food (which in turns gives me even more adventures per day boost). So basically I'm raking in the money. As soon as I have enough money for next months Item of the Month (henceforth known as itom) I plan to ascend to another oxycore run. Oxycore is short for Oxygenarian Hardcore character run. Oxygenarians aren't allowed to drink alcohol or eat food to gain bonus adventures per day. Hardcore characters aren't allowed to use any of the items earned from previous ascension runs. In essence you're starting as a newb, but at the end of these runs you get megapowerful items that you can use once you beat the game and go back to being a normal character. The point of me going through an Oxycore run is not only to get a badass item that will help me gain either more adventures per day or more money per battle, but also I can permanently gain a skill from another class. In my next run, I'm planning to gain a buff skill that will increase the power of my familiar. My familiar was one of the itom special familiars. It counts as two familiars in one with the power to increase both the money per battle and also the item drop rate at the end of the battle. Right now as is my familiar's casual power level is 45... the game max is 20. That means I'm getting 25 bonus levels of pwoer for my familiar. With another ascension I'll be able to increase that by another 5. My familiar's casual power level will hit 50, on the occassions that I feel like overkilling I can probably get my familiar up past the 75 level mark. That's retarded powerful when you consider the normal peasant player's max is 20. Even a dumb player will get some accessory that will bring their familiar up to a max of 25. A good player can reach 30 to 40 when they're realling putting in the efffort. Awseome players can get them up to my level, and only players that dump tons of real world money can gain the ability to reach godlike levels of close to 100. It is possible for a player to reach godlike levels without spending real world dollars on the game. Which is what I'm aiming for. I have spent a little money here and there. I've been playing for like 6 years and I've maybe spent $100 total on the game. I probably have close to $200 worth of special items though. I spent that first $100 so I could get to this coming point where I'll be able to by the itom every month without spending a dollar. At that point I'll be able to sell of the crappy itom that I don't want and use the money to buy the megarare stuffs that will take me to the godlike levels. At that point I will truely have mastered the game through skill and not just money like these wannabe 1337(elite) people. As it stands now I consider myself pretty goddamned good at that game. I'm am almost 1337, but I'm not a master yet. Pretty much the only people who are able to claim to have mastered the game are those who spend tons of real world money and the private friends of the games creator. Of course they're going to have everything, because they fucking kiss ass to get it. And of course people who are dumb enough to constantly dump real money for online fake money are going to have everything because they're being suckered. However someone who spends just enough money for the fun of it but also earns their way to the top through hard work can truely be called Elite Players. That's my goal on Kol. It would be much easier if I had friends on Kol who were also good players, then we could lend skills to one another in order to reach the top together. I wouldn't have had to spend the $100 that I have so far. My Gf is a badass player on Gaia Online. If I got into that game, we'd be able to do alot of shit... however I just can't get into the wussy kid game. They dress up characters to look cool, collect items of the month... then don't do anything... there's no battles... there's no leveling up...
So how do you prove you are better than the other peasant players? I have to be the best and I have to tower it over the wannabes XD


Gotta go now, bye peeps and wish me luck on fixing my comp so I can make new art.
