I hate to complain, but I feel that somehow I've failed myself at some point. I'm not where I want to be right now, and I'm questioning why that is, why I haven't been able to start to accomplish what I really want. I guess I should be glad that I have a job and I don't have a bunch of mess with that job, but I can't help but think that college was a Leonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10694415641767736112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3262015.post-1123762318064427702005-08-11T08:00:00.000-04:002005-08-11T08:11:58.073-04:00RANT: Fangirls, Part OneThere are people that can take something that actually rules and kill it by making it so trendy that you can't get away from it. I remember when RPGs were cool, or even when cosplaying as a character was something significant. Now, I've forever been poisoned against Final Fantasy X-2 because all the fangirls having kittens over it, as well as every girl under the age of 17Leonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10694415641767736112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3262015.post-1123592800181158712005-08-09T09:06:00.000-04:002005-08-09T09:06:40.226-04:00Lately, I've seen the dissolution of several relationships that seemed to be strong and lasting, and it really scares me. Everyone seemed to be so happy just a few months ago; now, it seems like the feelings that blossomed so brightly in the spring light has gone dark as the summer reaches its end. Emotionally, I was caught up in all of the feelings that everyone else had. But, as I reflect on Leonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10694415641767736112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3262015.post-1122180071258305512005-07-24T00:20:00.000-04:002005-07-24T00:41:11.266-04:00Is it possible to have conditioned yourself so that you equate flirting as trying to scare people? Is it normal to think that, somehow, you don't deserve affection? I think I've managed to convince myself that showing affecton is a scare tactic, that no one could ever think of me as more than a friend or just someone creepy.

Unsurprisingly, he said he wanted to be a drug dealer, and his stepfather had to have a long talk with him about it. Now, I know he likes to do things to be like other boys, but at 12, he's an impressionable boy and Leonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10694415641767736112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3262015.post-1121605540240664332005-07-17T08:31:00.000-04:002005-07-17T09:05:43.666-04:00After really thinking about it, I can honestly say that I'm tired of re-hashing the same drama over and over again. I don't even want to think of it anymore, and I don't really care to discuss the same issues that have been discussed since last year. Many of the people I'm around are so caught up in being self-absorbed and immature that they can't see that there's a great big world out there Leonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10694415641767736112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3262015.post-1121457706767912152005-07-15T15:46:00.000-04:002005-07-15T16:11:21.883-04:00I've been talking to someone that I met at Anime Central, one bright spot that weekend that I'd been too caught up in self-misery to realize. The one with the sexy face, pretty eyes, and that kiss with enough electricity to light up Vegas for a thousand nights! Well, it turns out that the situation's changed, and I'm really looking forward to our next convention together.

I have tried to tell myself that I had to save my dignity and not discuss what happened anymore. I told you how I really felt, and you already knew...but you decided that you didn't want to give us a chance, that you had too many people on your mind then.

I think it's safe to say that one of my goals for Anime Central was not attained. It was because, for most of the weekend, no one tried to hit on me. I mean, I was surrounded by about 12,000 people, and not one of them tried to talk to me.

I mean, the work's quite physical, but I've had very few complaints. One of the managers made a comment yesterday: "We all should have Leon's energy! I mean, the way he ran those packages up here..."

I didn't expect to become so close to them, and I certainly didn't think it'd become the three of us against the world. Ever since Bowling Green, there's been a bond that's formed between us. I guess it's because we have a lot in common. Of course, we all like anime and CGT majors. But, it's also the stuff that's not at the surface.

I got dressed up as Barret (Slightly ghetto since I had no Gattling arm) and took Ruthie with me (I figured that I needed to meet new people and so did she). I was invited by Morgan, who turned out to be B-Chan's Ohayocon roomate (I must remember that I have some things for him), and it was held at his house.

It was Goth Night at the anime club, and, in my undying quest for "All Eyez On Me" as Tupac once put it, I decided to go all out. I had a huge piece of PVC vinyl that looked almost like pleather, and with some safety pins and accessories from Hot Topic, I managed to pull off an interesting look....if you Leonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10694415641767736112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3262015.post-1075509631631378482004-01-30T19:40:00.000-05:002004-01-30T19:42:07.606-05:00 Nothing new, just a few quiz results.

And this was without her guilt-tripping, me asking for money, or one of us busting out in tears. We discussed our diets (She's on Atkins now), and we talked for a LOOOONG time! I hope we can have more conversations like this in the future, where we can have real discussions and not collective gripe fests...

I mean, it seems like it'd be a total blast, and I'm even planning on going to a few cons this year (I'm determined to make it to at least ONE this year...). The trouble is that, well, I usually don't have the money to go to a con.

Yeah, I was so sleep-deprived this morning that I actually didn't get up until almost noon, and even then, I was dead tired. I didn't want to start off on a bad foot at all.

I've been around the amateur voice acting community for about three years now, and I've only had about five roles in that time.
