Nick Of Time

[dudelovenext]

So yes, yet another night of insomnia...this lasted until about 3am when I just forced myself to lay down and get some sleep.

It's awesome to wake up and look at the clock and see that it reads "7:42am". Keep in mind that I normally get up at 7am. Yikes! I wasn't late, but it was a mad dash, didn't even get to shower. Bah.

So, today's my last day of work for five days. Woot! I'll have Wednesday to just kind of relax and get things ready, the next three days for the con, the Monday to just hang by myself. Should be quite nice!

I used to be a very naive person. I used to think that every person in the world, no matter who, had some positive traits, some redeeming qualities. These past few years have been a real eye-opener. I'm the kind of person that you don't so much have to earn my trust, you have to lose it. Some people are just fucked up, and it'd be nice to ship 'em off to some island where they can all have each other. I think we all know who I'm talking about...then there's people like the one in Miko's post.

I know not every person in the world is messed up to the point of being anti-social or whatever. I wonder if these people realize how messed up they are? That they have no problem making threats or actually going through with them. Do they think that that kind of behavior is acceptable? Because of THEIR problems, that everyone else is to blame?

Maybe I should take some more psychology classes...of course, some people's problems are so fucking obvious that it's like staring into the sun.

Psychology

[hentainobaka.livejournal.com]

I used to read those a lot, but it ended up just making me feel worse to know how messed up people can be. I guess that is why I don't have a ton of friends. I try to be more selective. I like to be friends with people that have qualitys I admire or people I can learn from. It leaves me with a fairly solid and trustworthy group of people. I trust like you do until there is reason to change.

Yeah, those closest to me are definately closest to me for a reason. I can be friends with pretty much anybody; though I'll usually be really deep with my real friends. :)

Humanity is doomed. 'Nuff said...

[dudelovenext.livejournal.com]

Of course, we've known that for years. :)

Where are we going, and why are we in this handbasket?

"I used to think that every person in the world, no matter who, had some positive traits, some redeeming qualities"

I thought that way once as well, a long log time ago. It's sad, but true - people are not prone to being good by defualt ( which many seem to think ) The sad reality is that people are actually by defualt selfish and cruel, only concerned for themselves. it's the people who can rise above that that are the shinning light in this world ^_^

[dudelovenext.livejournal.com]

It's a sad reality. That's not everyone of course, but still...

[devilslayer.livejournal.com]

no not everyone. ^_^

[nightflower84.livejournal.com]

I have wednsday off too!!! Is it possible to have an all day hang out and watch one peice until what's current? LoL omg that'd be totaly crazy.

but i have voice acting practice on wensday at 6pm so... probably wouldn't work out >.< I dunno~

I can't wait till the con!!!!!!!!!

[dudelovenext.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm not sure about tomorrow. I'm gonna be trying to get everything ready. I was talking to Chris and I guess he has the week after the con off for Spring Break? Maybe a day in there? :)

See you in a few days! Wooo!

[saxytenshi.livejournal.com]

Some people are hopeless (read my post in Miko's entry), but I also try to think about people who do good, too. For every horrible person, there's a wonderful one out there, too. ^_^

[dudelovenext.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I like to think there are more helpful than hurtful people in the world...I wonder what the actual numbers on that are?

[weavermatic.livejournal.com]

To some people, I'm a scourge of the earth. To some people, I'm the nicest, kindest they've ever met. I'm starting to think I have like a yearly cycle I go through on moods or something.

[zeonic-miko.livejournal.com]

pms XD

[devilslayer.livejournal.com]

ba-zing XD

[dudelovenext.livejournal.com]

Despite anything that has happened, you are still a decent human being. And ESPECIALLY so when compared to some other people.

No, at least you're a productive member of society. :)

[weavermatic.livejournal.com]

Thanks. (seriously)

[umipixie.livejournal.com]

I have been running into this a lot lately on the board. -_-; Some lady called me scum because I made fun of a stupid kid who can't spell, and then some other kid called me all kinds of names. The best part is, the actual kid was not an ass about being teased at all. :P

[quetz.livejournal.com]

Ohfuhgawdsake, why respond to anything he says? That's just throwing kerosene on the fire.

[cplslicks.livejournal.com]

amen

[umipixie.livejournal.com]

LEATHAPANTS! :D

Hey, Stephen. WHAT. THE. HELL. is wrong with Freon? I didn't know him for very long, but we talked quite a bit a couple years ago, before he got exiled, or whatever he wants to call it.

I don't like to make a big deal out of things people say on the Internet...because it's fairly anonymous most people say things they don't really mean. However, I am seriously creeped out by his posts in your friend's journal. I mean, for real. I have decent intuition, and whoa. Just...whoa. I hope you guys are prepared for him to try to pull something scary at the convention, because based on his posts, I really would not put it past him.

Whoa.

I think he is the first person I've ever seen cuss Lauren out. She's one of the sweetest, most genuine people I know. :/

[dudelovenext.livejournal.com]

I know. Basically, because people don't worship him as a rockstar, he has to lash out at everyone. He had the attention, he become a creep, and the result is what you saw respond to you in Miko's LJ.

I wouldn't worry about him.

Yeah, as far as him cussing Lauren out...like I said. He's just jealous that he's not the center of attention. *shrugs*

Anyway, see you in a few days! :)

[umipixie.livejournal.com]

Yeah...I think the saddest thing is that he doesn't realize the REASON people enjoy being with you and Lauren (and NOT with him) is because you guys are so nice, and you don't cause drama or flip out for no good reason. If he weren't so flipping paranoid all the time, he would have held onto his reputation for being the con party king. People don't idolize me, and even though that would be awesome (AND THEY SHOULD, DAMNIT), I don't flip out about it. Cause, holy crap, REAL WORLD. ^_~

*builds idol to Umipixie for the worshipful throngs*

[saxytenshi.livejournal.com]

Geez, FINALLY someone did it! *goes to Umi shrine and meditates*

[umipixie.livejournal.com]

For some reason, this just made me laugh loud enough to freak out my boss. ROCK!

[dudelovenext.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks. :)

Heh, I dunno about idolize...but I'll be your friend! :) Well, maybe a little idolizing...

*dances around a chibi-umipixie statue* :)

[umipixie.livejournal.com]

Haha! I have been making chibi statues of my friends out of little anime dolls for the last year or so. For some reason, they all love them, even though I thought it might creep them out at first. I mean, would it creep you out to have a tiny, adorable statue of yourself? I wonder how celebrities feel when toy companies make dolls out of them.

[dudelovenext.livejournal.com]

Nah, I think it'd be cute. :) Like making a little UFO catcher of a friend. :)

[saxytenshi.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks Katie! That means a lot to me. :) *warm fuzzies*

I don't take anything he says personally. If anything, I feel a bit sorry for him because he isn't able to control his life so he can be content (I'm very sure it's a medical condition; I don't know anyone as extreme as he is). I've already given him enough time, energy, and attention on my part (as many people have already done) to solve whatever problem this is, but he doesn't want to solve it. He enjoys the attention, whether it's positive or negative, and it's rediculous, so I don't show him attention anymore. Whenever I do (and a number of other SakuraCon-going people) he just flares up again.

There IS no solution with him, so I'm done wasting my time on the matter. This is all something he's going to have to deal with himself. That's why I generally do not talk about him or reply to any of his posts or posts regarding him (with the exception of my post last night and this one, but I felt a little explanation was needed).

Okay, I'm over it.

I can't wait to see you @ the con again! I'm glad you decided to show up despite what happened last year. ^_^

[dudelovenext.livejournal.com]

It's something that I forget is that I just shouldn't get involved with him anymore. However, he'll say something (like in Miko's LJ) and I get involved...-_- Lesson learned again! `^_^

But yeah, I won't waste anymore of my time on him.

Woot, just another day or two!!! :)

[umipixie.livejournal.com]

Everyone involved in last year's fiasco sincerely apologized so many times I decided they really meant it and we are going back. This WILL be our last year exhibiting, though. We are no longer buying anything for the store, so once our stuff is gone we won't be doing much with store anymore. I will be on staff next year though. :) Guess where? Dealer's room! ^___^

Being on staff might give me more opportunity to socialize with con buddies. We shall see.

[dudelovenext.livejournal.com]

Because I make the mistake of thinking that an intelligent conversation can be made with him. I'm proven wrong time and time again...

[justawave.livejournal.com]

Good post, very thoughtful.

[dudelovenext.livejournal.com]

I guess I'm just tired of dealing with anti-social people. -_- I know I really shouldn't bring attention to them...I'll call that a fault of mine. >_

[umipixie.livejournal.com]

Hey, justawave. Is that an OS-tan? If yes, which one?
