The entire situation escalated during my vacation in California when we were hanging out with Holly and Ellen in Shannon's house, and Ellen started texting me as Rorschach. One thing lead to another and we ended up having a Watchmen TEXTravaganza that carried on for several days. I did my best to transcribe the texts from my phone. I put them essentially in the order in which they were sent and received, so the conversation isn't exactly smooth and continuous, but it shouldn't be too hard to follow. I meant to post this shortly after we returned from our vacation, but it took me a long time to get around to transcribing all the texts. x_x;
Character Key:
Nite Owl/Dan - Me
Rorschach - Ellen
Ozimandias/Adrian - Holly
Mothman/Byron - Jess

Sunday we got to California at around 7:30 and Holly and Ellen met us at the airport! 8D We had a hard time finding each other, though. We kept calling each other and Holly was like "What can you see? What does the sign above you say?" and I was like "The sign says 'Northwest!' The only thing I see is the underside of an overpass! There are '2's' everywhere!" But anyway, we eventually found one another, then we loaded up and wet to pick of Shannon, and headed to In 'n' Out burger for dinner. THEN! We went to this place that sold nom-tastic ice cream cookie sandwiches, and we saw Prime and Bumblebee! They were parked outside! I only had my phone with me, but I got some pics of them! XD Then we dropped off Shannon and met her awesome kitty, and then dropped off Ellen and met Skip and their awesome kitty, and got hooked up with FREE COMICS! XD Bizarre New World! Autographed and everything! X3 I haven't gotten a chance to read them yet. Haven't gotten a chance to read much of anything lately. x_x; But I very much look forward to it. It looks like it's made of WIN! X3 Then we headed back to Holly's place to settle in for the week, and Holly gave us our belated Christmas gifties! She got us each a pretty journal (Jess got a pretty blue one with handmade paper I think, and I got a nifty red one with a lock!) and 2 pairs of awesome earrings. Holly has excellent taste in earrings. X3 She also gave me some adorable li'l mini skateboards and tiny ceramic vases, and a li'l ceramic bathtub fulla' li'l soap and lotion and stuff. Wee!!! XD
Monday we got up pretty early, and Holly showed us around some. We hit two malls and two comic book stores. I got a couple of comics to fill gaps in my collection, and also the second volume of the DC Martian Manhunter Showcase. We also went to some other fun shopping destinations, like Frys and a spiffy little doll/dollhouse shop. ^_^ Then we met up with Ellen and went to Little Tokyo and had ramen and saw lots of nifty Japanese/import shops! XD I got some paper strips for making origami stars, and this set of hilariously obviously unlicensed Transformers stickers that go on a computer keyboard. X3 Now Yamamoto-san has colorful robot stickers on his keys. ^_^
Tuesday we got up around 9:30-ish and Ellen came over around 10:00-ish and we went to Arboretum! We hung out there for a while and had a lovely little bento picnic that Ellen made for us. Then Ellen took some graduation photos of Holly, and we took some pics of our TF boys. I took many pics of Magnus and Holly's Bumblebee. I was trying to take a pick of them on a precarious ledge, but accidentally dropped 'Bee in the sludge-water! D8 We gave him a bath later, though. X3 Then we went to the Arclight theater and saw Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Ironhide, and Optimus! They were all at the theater, and we took several pics of them. I will have to post them later. Then we left for a bit, and came back to catch the midnight showing of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen! Michael Bay was there, and that was exciting! The movie was okay. I really wanted some more substance. Like character development with the robots and stuff. But it was about what I expected. I may see it again.
Wednesday we hit the comic book store again! I picked up the new Star Trek: Mission's End comic, and Holly got the new All Hail Megatron comic! I read it and I was like "WHAAAT!? O_O" But then that seems to be how I've reacted to almost every issue of All Hail Megatron. I'm anxious for the Coda issues now. MORE NON-MOVIE-BASED TRANSFORMERS COMICS PLEASE! Anyway, after all that we went to Hollywood! We saw the walk of fame and all that, and went to the Chinese Theater! It was pretty freaking awesome. There were lots of interesting shops around there, too. There was one where you could get custom contacts! Totally gonna' hit that place up some time in the future. There was also a place with lots of costumes and wigs and things like that, but they were closed by the time we got there, unfortunately. I'll just have to check it out another time. After that we picked up Shannon and went out for Sushi! It was delicious. X3 My tummy started to hurt a bit, though, so I let Holly finish off my sushi. It was fun, though. We were all being stupid and hilarious. X3 I had a freaking blast.
Thursday we went to Kinkos and Jess and I faxed our resumes to this one place that advertised a job opening. I also made some copies of my resume and cover letter and all that with the intent of passing it out a few places. Jess and I are planning to move out there in a few months, and we figured it would be a good idea to try to get a job. Anyway, Ellen picked us up, and then we headed out to meet Batchix! On the way we stopped at a nifty Japanese market and I bought some snacks and Volume 13 of Trigun Maximum in Japanese. X3 Then we picked up Batchix and she brought her beautiful Sunstreaker and Sideswipe mechboy dolls! They were even more awesome in person than they are in pictures. X3 Once we picked her up we went to another Asian market and they had all kinds of nifty stuff, and even some cool miniatures! I wanted to get some, but I was worried about trying to pack them for the plane trip home. o_o; But I figure I'll have an opportunity to get them once I move out there. ^_^ Instead I settled for 5 pairs of sunglasses, because they were only $1.50 each! SCORE! After that we had dinner at this tasty BBQ restaurant, and then we went to Barns & Noble and looked at all of their nifty stuff. Much fun was had. X3 Then dropped off Batchix and headed back to Holly's place. It seemed like we'd never get back, though, 'cause they had pretty much every exit we would have taken closed. X_x; But eventually we made it back. Ellen dropped us off, and Holly and I had a li'l photo shoot where Ultra Magnus gave 'Bee a bath to clean him of after his fall into the sludge-water.
Friday was a busy dayyy~ We got up as early as we could manage and I made biscuits and gravy for breakfast. Then we went on an EPIC SHOPPING TRIP where we revisited several places we'd already been as well as some new ones and Jess and I got vacation-prizes for people back at home. Eric, Crystal and Mom all liked theirs. X3 Still gotta' meet up with Autumn, Dan, and Rachel to give them their gifties. Then we went to the 3rd Street Promenade and checked out all the nifty shops and stuff there, including this fun toyshop where I got a cute Bumblebee keychain and a Classics Ratchet, and some li'l gifties for Holly, Ellen, and Shannon as a thank-you for being so kind and hospitable. And also 'cause they deserve gifts just for being awesome. X3 After that we went to the pier, which was fun and pretty. ^_^ There were shops and rides and stuff, too, but a big chunk of it was shut down for a private party. 8P It was fun anyway, though. ^_^ We also saw several sites that were used in the filming of the first Transformers movie, which was awesome. X3
Saturday we got up stupid-early so we'd be able to load up all of our stuff and make it to the airport in time to catch out flight. There wasn't as long a line at security as was expected, though, so we got through pretty quickly and also our flight was delayed. XP So we sat around for a few hours before boarding the plane. By the time we got to Denver we had 15 minutes to make our layover flight. We managed it, though, and we got home with no trouble.
I had a great time in California, and I hope to go again soon. Jess and I have been planning, and we think we could move out there as soon as September. I just need to get out of Bloomington. I mean, I like it here. It's a nice town, but I don't want to live my entire life knowing nothing but life in Bloomington. I'll miss my family and everything, but it isn't as though I won't visit around holidays. I just need to try to save up money to move, then line up some living and working arrangements. It will be tricky, but not impossible. As far as I'm concerned, it's going to happen. Ganbatte!!

I didn't get to do anything fun today. I wanted to clean my room and work on my various art projects, but instead I re-wrote my resume, bought a new ink cartridge for the printer so I could print my resume, and then applied for a job online at the Crane Federal Credit Union. I tried to go there so I could drop off a copy of my resume and s letter of reference before they closed, but I didn't manage to get there until they were just closing. So I hung out and waited for Kate, so I could say "hi" at least. Kate used to work at the bank with me, but she got a better job at the credit union. They get to SIT DOWN at work! OMGWTF! THE LUXURY! 8O!! So, I caught Kate on her way out and chatted a bit. And she said she would give my resume and letter of reference to her boss for me, and tell him that I'm awesome and that he should hire me. Kate rules. X3 I hope I get the job. They don't have mystery shops at the credit union. So NYAH!
It snowed again last night, so mom grounded Jack again. But when I went out to get printer ink, the roads weren't bad at all, so I un-grounded him. His stereo wasn't working over the weekend. The radio was fine, but it wouldn't play CDs, so I was just gonna' get him a new stereo with CD player and AUX port. But then when I started him up on Monday, he was playing CDs just fine. So, maybe he was just mad at me for grounding him.... I guess I'll put off getting a new car stereo for a while longer.
IIII'm a li'l drunk! ...Okay, kind-of a lot drunk. Like... not like I can't walk or anything, but typing correctly is hard. lolz. Hot cocktail ftw. On a cold night, I suggest the following cocktail:
Hot Russian! (like a White Russian, but served hot!)
In a coffee mug, combine:
Double-shot of vodka
Double-shot of Kahlua
Hot milk to taste. (I just fill the mug up the rest of the way...)
It tastes like win. It'll also make you want to go to sleeeeeep.
Napz nao.

I got some new action figures: TF:A Blurr, TF:A Swindle, Classics Hound, Classics Cyclonus, and Classics Smokescreen. *score* Now the only ones I need to catch up with releases that I actually want are Legends Beachcomber, Legends Brawn, and TF:A WRECK-GAAARRR!!!! He looks awesome! I srsly wanna' get my paws on him. X3
Jess's birthday is Friday, so I have to clean and make her cake tomorrow, then we're both off and we're gonna' go out with her mom and have lunch and stuff before her party. That'll be fun. ^_^
Went to the comic book store today and picked up TF:ROTF Defiance #1, and Star Trek Countdown #1. Defiance was good. Makes me excited to read the next one, and EVEN MORE EXCITED for the movie! Haven't read Countdown yet. >_>
Got a letter from Rachel today. I won't go into too much detail, because it was to do with her own personal life and demons she's been struggling with. Suffice it to say that she's been though some physical and emotional traumas, and she's been coping with them through various forms of "self medication" for years. I just hope I can be there for her as she starts out on her "road to recovery" so-to-speak, and that she knows how much I love her. I feel like I've failed her as a big sister to this point, and I hope I can step-up and give her the support that she needs, and be the big sister she deserves.

Also, it's Wednesday! I went to the comic book store, but they were all out of Maximun Dinobots #2 by the time I got there. u_u Oh well, I'll either get it online, or see if they get more of them in. Anyway, since they didn't have anything I wanted in the new comics, I went browsing through the back-issues and I found a copy of Transformers Timelines: Shattered Glass! That was fun. It was too short, though. It was just basically like "OMG Autobots BAD, Decepticons GOOD, Cliffjumper help Decepticons foil Prime's plan!" I would have liked to see more character development and stuff. But it was interesting, anyway. Mirror-Prime scares the crap outta' me. He seems more evil than Megatron from any other continuity. And it was mentioned that he is also insane, but there wasn't really any good example of that. Well, except maybe this one part when he's at the smelting pool were he tortures and executes people, and Cliffjumper is like "What!? This is WRONG! You can't do this!" and all that, so Mirror-Prime blasts him, and then he's talking to the corpses hanging up on the walls being like "What should I do with him? Shall he join you? What's that you say? Oh alright, I'll dispose of him and hope he gets his wits back..." But I don't think that was so much Mirror-Prime being crazy as it was Mirror-Prime trying to freak-out and intimidate poor Cliffjumper. Anywayyyy... the main thing that comic did for me was to make me want G1 Prime and Mirror-Prime to meet one day, so G1 Prime could kick Mirror-Prime's aft like nobody's business. ...And then my brain starts thinking about how the characters might interact if the two universes converged for some reason, and all kinds of crazy robot pr0nz start trying to happen in my head...
Okay! My feet are cold!

Saturday I went to the license branch to get my driver's license renewed. W000t. Then mom, my siblings, and I cleaned the house all bloody day long, then we went out for dinner. Sunday I stayed up 'til 5 in the morning cleaning my room and wrapping gifts. I was flippin' exhausted the next day, but I dragged myself out of bed to finish cleaning my room and make pizzas and all kinds of stuff to get ready for my birthday partaaaay. Basically Rachel, Autumn, Dan, and Kate came over, and we ate pizza and cake and played Rock Band 'til 11:00. Autumn and Dan got me a cute little Activator Patrol Bumblebee and a gift certificate to the comic book store! Rachel got me a VHS tape of the old Mary Martin Peter Pan movie! Kate made me a party hat with kitty ears on it, and she got me the TF Infiltration manga and some bags and boards for my comics! Mom got me some pretty earrings and two T-shirts, one with the mustang logo, and one that said "Yes it's fast. No, you can't drive it." LOL! XD And Eric, Jess and Crystal all went together to get me a li'l package of FOR REALZ ENERGON CUBES! 8O!! I'll have to get some pics with them later, but I was astounded. They're about 1" pink cubes with li'l LEDs in them that you can turn on and they're SO CUTE! I can't imagine how much they must have cost, but it must have been a lot if all three of them had to chip in to get them for me! X_x;
Today we had Ivan and his sister over all day. I was at work for most of it, but before I left for work Ivan asked me how old I was. I told him I was 25, and he said "You're almost a grandpa!" That made me giggle all day. X3 After work we had our giant Christmas party that we already have on the 23rd. It was fun! The house was jam-packed with friends and family, and we got to give out gifts, and Ivan was adorable, and Rachel's boyfriend brought his 3-year old son who was also adorable. The children all behaved remarkably well, and Ivan for some reason thinks that I'm going to start training him to sword fight. I dunno where he got that idea, but it's amusing all the same.
Anyway, I have a li'l half-day of work tomorrow, then I'm off 'til Friday! I can't wait. I love Christmas. It's my favorite. Of course, I celebrate it for religious reasons, and also I LOVE to give gifts! I have a hard time making myself stop buying gifts, even after I've gotten something for everyone on my list. I just keep thinking of things that I'd like to get for people! X_x;; ...It was a little bit difficult this year, though, 'cause I'd be out shopping, and I kept seeing things I wanted to get for dad. u_u I miss him. I know he wouldn't want me to spend my Christmas mourning his absence. Dad, with his hippie spirit, was all about spreading love and joy. I can't think of a better time of year for it than this.

Anyway, I went to the comic book store today, and while I was walking around I came across a trade paperback I hadn't seen before called WE3. It caught my eye because of the cool-looking bionic animals on the cover, and then I glanced through it and it almost brought me to tears. I had to get it because I really wanted to read it all the way through. It's about these three animals who used to be domestic pets, but were apparently stolen and put into this government weapons development program. They are encased in these bio-armor shells and trained to work as a team and become an unstoppable killing force. But, as prototypes, their part of the program comes to an end and they are ordered to be terminated. They escape, though, and the military sets out to destroy them, but they are just trying to stay alive and find their home. It's a sad book, but I think the ending is kind-of happy. Anyway, I recommend it.
ALSOOOOO! I got issue #4 of All Hail Megatron! There was quite a bit of Autobot-action in this one. I gotta' say, I'm lovin' Ironhide in this issue!
( !!All Hail Megatron #4 Spoilers!! )
I go to bed now. Work tomorrow. XP

Today I checked Scuffers's fluids, 'cause he's been acting up. His oil was fine, but his coolant was low and he was !HOLYSHIT!-OUT of transmission fluid! So I replenished his fluids, and hopefully he'll run a bit more happily now. I have to keep him going a while longer, because it could be a month or so before I can get my mustang. They're really slow about sending out titles. >_O
Today we took an hour drive to go to a comic book store a couple towns over. It was lame. Not at all worth the drive. XP We also went to a little toy shop there, but it wasn't all that exciting. Mostly educational toys and what-not. But I did get some stupid-cute little Japanese erasers there. I'm gonna' send some of them to Holly and Ellen. X3 After that we drove home just in time to go to our town's own, decidedly not lame, comic book store (the other one didn't even have any new comics! XP ) and I picked up the new All Hail Megatron, as well as a couple back-issues I'd missed, a Voltron comic for Eric, and several volumes of the DW More than Meets the Eye profile-dealies.
After all that, we came home and I had a sudden epiphany as to how I could easily create a tool that would make my action figure repainting endeavors immensely easier out of some dusty trash laying around in the basement.
TA-DAAA!
I just cut some little sticks and tapered the ends with my pocket knife so they would fit snugly in revoltech joint-holes and cut some straws and slit them down the sides so I could roll them tighter to fit the li'l connector-nubbies on the hands and stuff, then I took an old crappy board and drilled some holes half-way through it so the sticks and straws could fit in them easily and be held upright. So now, I can put the various parts on the sticks so I can turn them every which way to paint them without touching them, and then I can set them in the board to dry without resting against anything. X3 It'll also make sealing them at the end a cinch! I love making useful things out of junk. Makes me feel like I've accomplished something. X3 I'm all excited now! I'll probably do some painting tonight. Hopefully the reprolable insignias I ordered will arrive soon so I can finish and seal my first repaint figure!

I ordered two more Revoltech Starscreams from e-bay! They should probably be here within the next couple of weeks. W00t. Revoltech Starscream FTW! Also, Jess went to the comic book store for me today while I was at work and got me the new Transformers Best of UK Time Wars and Saga of the Allspark comics! ALL MY INTURNETZ R BELONG TO JESS! XD

My visit to Kentucky went well. Dad was in much better shape that I thought he would be. He wasn't coughing all that much, and he was even walking around without his cane. The only weird thing was that he no longer has any hair. That was odd, 'cause my dad was always a relatively hairy guy. o_o; But I guess he's hangin' in there so far. I'll probably visit him again when I take my vacation on the week of the 15th.

- Mood:
energetic
In less serious news: I got my new revoltech figures!! I’ve already taken a few pics with them, but they aren’t re-sized and stuff yet so I’m not posting them at the moment. I am extremely pleased with Starscream, though. Very awesome figure. X3
Also I’ve posted some things on deviantart recently. Here are all my recent posted works:
Revoltech Pics:
Reflection 1 - Optimus: Megatron (I redid the reflection pics...but better.)
Reflection 2 - Megatron
Reflection 3 - Magnus
Reflection 4 - Optimus: Magnus
Twins!?
Easter Eggs:
Cherry Blossom Easter Egg
Winged Heart with Cross
Transform-egg
Comic:
Siblings (A li’l comic about me and my big brother Eric. ~ <3 )
Unfinished/Line-art:
Disembodied Robot Head - Prime (My first real attempt at drawing a robot. W00t.)
Cookie Frenzy (my most recent line-art. Chibi Martian Manhunter = yay. ^_^ )
Okay. I sleep now. Laterz~
- Mood: tired
Also, it is, of course, WEDNESDAY!!! once again. I shall be going to the comic book store shortly. When ever Jess gets home from work (‘cause she’d be sad if I went without her.)
So I spent most of my day today making 4 dozen mini cheesecakes.
Mini Cheesecakes!
1, 2
Since tomorrow is my last grueling day of stocking lunch meats at the grocery, I wanted to make farewell treats for my co-workers since, over all, I like my boss and my co-workers very much. It’s just not having medical insurance and spending hours on end in the cold that really pisses me off. Anyway, I made four kinds. Blueberry, cherry, peanut butter with chocolate chips, and plain ol’ chocolate chip. I tried to make them all pretty, but I think they’re less pretty than my cherry chocolate chrysanthemum cupcakes. They taste freakin’ awesome, though. I ate four of the little buggars and now I’m totally gonna’ puke from all the sugar. XD
That’s it for now. Gotta’ wrap this up so I can go buy comics!
- Mood: bouncy
Today’s WEDNESDAY so I went to the comic book store and got Transformers Devastation #5! X3 I still have to order Escalation #5, Devastation #3, and Spotlight Soundwave, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. I did, however, break down and spend $110 on Revoltech action figures today. I got two of each Convoy (Optimus Prime) and Megatron. Normally I wouldn’t shell out that kinda’ cash all at once on action figures, but I have a pretty big tax return check coming pretty soon so I figured I could splurge a little...besides, they’re such AWESOME action figures! I still want to get the Revoltech Ultra Magnus, too, but he’s soooo expensive because he was a rare limited edition. -_-; I might get him, but probably not until I actually get my tax return. I’m looking forward to next month, though, ‘cause Revoltech is going to release an AWESOME STARSCREAM figure that I’m gonna’ have to buy! They’re also releasing a Hot Rod figure, but he’s a wanker. XP I’ll prolly get him if only to round out my collection (and so my other action figures’ll have someone to kick around), but I’m not so excited about him.
Anyway, speaking of Starscream, I have a new favorite youtube music video:
It amuses me to no end. Oh those goofy Decepticons... *giggle-snort*
- Mood: ditzy
The next day we had our big Christmas party, and it was also awesome. We ate lots of food and drank many beers. My friend Jana and her husband Zach got Jess and I spiffy robot dinosaurs. XD They walk and make noise, but they don’t like it when they run out of table to walk on. :( I got piles of money for Christmas (and also one more t-shirt, some nifty new manga, AND! Rachel got me a plushie Optimus Prime to snuggle. X3). I’ve spent a lot of it by now, but I got some awesome stuff. I got two new hoodies (1, 2) which I can wear to work, since I work in a refrigerator all day. I bought a HUUUUGE pile of Transformers comics, because I’d gotten sooooooo far behind over the last couple years when I didn’t have any money. So I got a pile from the comic book store, and then I ordered some more from Mile High Comics and got a huge discount from them. So I ended up getting like $166 worth of comics for like $74 (after taking off the gift certificate and all of the discounts). I’m excited. The ones I ordered haven’t arrived yet. I can’t wait! XD Also, I got a brand spanking new 500GB external hard drive to store crap on, and just today I FINALLY got an Optimus Prime voice changer helmet! I’ve been wanting one of those ever since they first came out in stores. Also today I got some spiffy Transformers Robot Fighters. They’re like Rock’em Sock’em Robots to the Nth degree. XD
I’ve got more to say, but it’s getting late and this journal entry is getting really long, so I’m gonna’ wrap it up for today. I hope everyone had a great Christmas, and a fun new year! ~ <3 <3
Laterz!
