Hey, what's this thing? Huh.

Well for any of you that might happen to read this that don't know Abby, I am engaged. The wedding date is set for September 4th 2009. I'm pretty excited. We did a cool photoshoot yesterday with Simon and his lady, and it was a lot of fun. I might try to upload some, but since I haven't been on here in like 2 years, I'm sure you know how lazy I am, so don't count on it. Other than that, life just sort of keeps on rolling. Not much is really all that different. Boring? You bet it is.

So for those of you that don't know, I got a job at Wendy's. Been there for almost two weeks now. Got my first paycheck yesterday, $90.87. Woo. After cashing it at Kroger (because the bank closed as I tried to walk in the door) I had 85 bucks. Bought some groceries. Yeah, so, anyway I have to work tomarrow and I'm sick. Like I can't stop coughing and it's killing my throat and chest. Probably shouldn't go in tomarrow. I dunno. We'll see how I feel. Anyway I'll talk to you all later. Wooooo.

Realize I havn't really posted in a while. Also realize I don't really care. But, I'm bored. So anyway, hi. Things are going pretty well, Bob Evans is a chode. I say this with the utmost respect though. Event season has finally come again, so Dagorhir is back in full swing and that makes me happy in my pants. Very happy in my pants. Anywho, talk to all you crazy kids later. Or something.

Hmm I'm bored. So we're gonna play another guess the lyric game ^_^
This one, I'm going to type out a significant chunk of a couple songs. Then, you all tell me the song, band, album, yadda yadda. (that part will be the toughest) Ready? GO!

#1
Oh! Minutes go round and round
Inside my head
Oh! My chest will now explode
Falling into pieces
Rain breaks on the ground-blood!

One minute forever
A sinner regreting
My vulgar misery ends

(And I) ride the winds of a brand new day
High where mountain's stand
Found my hope and pride again
_________ of a man

#2
there's a pain within
that I can't define
there's an empty space
where your love used to shine
from the night we met
till the day you died
do you think I wished
do you still believe I tried
all too soon we were divided
and life had just begun

will you revive
from the chaos in my mind
where we still are bound together
will you be there
waiting by the gates of dawn
when I close my eyes forever

#3
It's up to us now to seal his fate
Marked with the proper math the child's none to late
Blessed by the Beast, our Chosen One was born this day
He'll rise from the ashes of our dying race
Manipulate history, time and space
The Elder, Men of the Watch, professed this day

Child of the wicked and ancient man
Baptized in black magic, their master plan
Born of the Watch, his prophecy, by their command
Conceived of the Beast and in stars above
We`ll shape and guide him with undying love
Born of the Watch, through sands of time, by their command

PS Observant folk may recognize some of these from something else I've done.

Hey guys. For those of you that don't know, I have been officially moved to Toledo for the past week. Not much going on here for me. Sooo anyone that wants to come hang out, or check the place out, or steal me to do naughty things...or whatever, gimme a call or talk to me on here. I'll let you know how to get here.
So yeah. I've been mostly just hanging out. Watching tv, sitting with my ass in front of the computer a lot, and oddly enough I've started reading again. I guess not having constant distraction around me at all times has sort of brought back my interest. Go figure. Anyway, gimme a call folks. Later.

If you had me alone...locked up in your house for twenty-four hours and I had to do whatever you wanted me to, what would you do with me? All replies will be permanently screened because it's a secret.

Then repost this in your LJ, if you want to.

So, I will be moving into Barney's house this friday it seems. Anyone that wants to help me move, let me know. I'm not sure I'll need much help to be honest but just in case. I'm going to be deciding this week how much of my stuff I will keep with me, how much I will leave here (the stuff that isnt' really mine) and how much I'm going to try to get rid of. So, I'll be letting folks know if I have stuff to sell or give away some time this week. Anywho, wish me luck.

So, I have until march first to get a job or I'm out of the house. Nice huh? Plan right now is that whether or not I have that job, I'm moving out at that point. Mostly that's because I'm sick of this shit. Yup.

Tomarrow at north practice, there will be some kind of National....Media......Coverage! How awesome is that? Unfortunately, part of the "do it or you're out" policy my dad has just established, I must be at church every sunday morning. Well dad...tough shit. This is very important to me, and it's a hug oppurtunity, so stop trying to shove religion down my throat. Don't get me wrong, I'm not renouncing christianity or anything like that, I just don't appreciate telling me when to go to church, even worse to say I MUST go to church. Sorry pal, that's my choice. Blah. Ok anyway, Dagorhir good. lata.

haldour @ 2006-01-31T02:11:00

2006-01-31T08:08:15Z

Let's see....I havn't got anything important to say. I just sort of..feel like typing here. So that's what I'm doing. The only thing of not recently is that I have finally decided what direction to go with my college. I'm going to be enrolling at either Eastern Michigan University or the University of Toledo majoring/minoring in some combination of Anthropology, History, Linguistics, and Archaeology. So yeah. That's going to mean lots of financial aid/scholarships or else it'll mean lots of student loans. I certainly can't afford it on my own. So that means I'll probably be paying them back until I'm too old to remember what I learned with all that money. *sigh* I'm not really sure if this is what I want but it is something, which is more than the nothing I am doing now. I guess it's time I just picked a direction and go, and if I end up in a job that I hate....well at least I'm somewhere I guess. "It's time I start making a way for myself in the world" I have been told. Honestly......fuck the world.

On a side note...currently I sort of feel like people in general are untrustworthy, that I can't really trust anyone. People let you down. They tell you one thing and then do another. They tell you things and don't mean it. They claim they'll help you when really they have no power to do so. They hold expectations for others that even they themselves could never meet. I started to think it's human nature, but then I know from some casual study that in other cultures, the complete opposite is the norm. People say what they mean, are good to their word, are generous, put other people above themselves, and work towards the good of everyone. I think it stems from greed really, greed and self-love. It's just too hard for people to think of others over themselves for long enough to do anyone any good. Even those that you otherwise like can't really be trusted when it comes down to it, because that self-love will eventually drive them to selfishness. Sometimes I wish I didn't have to bother with people at all. But then there are some people, a select few that almost redeem the rest. They're just plain good people and I can't help but hold on to some degree of hope for humanity. But then, not even these people that most deserve honesty and to be treated well, not even these are safe from all the shit. The injustice of the human race, or at least the human race of western civiliztion, kills me. No wonder these people are becoming fewer and fewer. They are at a disadvantage. Everyone else can use their selfishness to protect themselves from the selfishness of others. The good don't have that defense. They're honesty leaves them open to deceit, their giving leaves them open to greed, and their trust leaves them open to being used and emotionally mistreated. So over time, they either change to resemble the others, or else they suffer long for it.

Blah. Wow that is much more writing than I intended to do. Ah well. Later.

I havn't seen Makenzie in over a week now, which isn't good. Supposed to get to see her tomarrow though so here's hoping. *nod* Ok well peace out folks.

Well I'm not going to talk about my Christmas, because I don't want to sound whiney and stupid. Soo moving right along, I really hope I get the job at the pet store, I really like animals and I wouldn't mind working there, and I desperately need the money. *sigh* If I dont get this job it means I have to keep puting in applications and I hate that...I hate it with every fiber of my being. If I didn't need the damn currency so badly I would say screw it and go on jobless. That's not an option though. So yeah, wish me luck everyone. Only other thing I have to say currently is, I hope some drama going on right now can resolve and end up well. That is all.

P.S. I miss Dag...oh so very much. I need to hit people with foam weapons NOW.

I was at FYE today, and while I browsed through the "Heavy Metal" section (which though small is fairly well stocked) I found myself acting as an employee, directing people to the bands they were looking for and even giving suggestions on what bands/albums they may enjoy (based on the ones they were holding/looking at). So this has inspired me to test the knowledge of you, my readers, once again on your metal knowledge. Since the last one was rather difficult and the results were less than stellar, I've decided to do it a little different this time and make it a bit easier. I will group the songs by band, and you must simply name the song that each chorus belongs to. Extra credit if you can name the album, and a cookie if you can name the year the album came out. I will, of course, ommit any lyric that would give away the title. Enjoy!

Section 1-- Metallica.

1) Time for lust, time for lie / time to kiss your life goodbye / Send me money, send me green / Heaven you will meet / Make a contribution
and you'll get a better seat / Bow to ______________.

2) Smashing through the boundaries / lunacy has found me / cannot stop the ________ / Pounding out aggression / turns into obsession / cannot kill the _______ / Cannot kill the family / _______ is found in me.

3) Fire / To Begin Whipping Dance of the Dead / _________ Is the End / To Begin Whipping Dance of the Dead / Color Our World _________

4) Flash before my eyes / Now it's time to die / Burning in my brain / I can feel the flames

5) So be it / Threaten no more / To secure peace is to prepare for war / So be it / Settle the score / Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore.../ _________________

Section 2-- Blind Guardian

1) Oh _______ your kingdom is lost / And you'll leave us behind / Oh ______ your kingdom is lost / And ruins remind of your time / Now come back

2) Slow down and I sail on the river / Slow down and I walk to the hill / and there's no way out

3) Tomorrow will take us away / Far from home / No one will ever know our names / But the bards' songs will remain / Tomorrow will take it away / The fear of today / It will be gone / Due to our magic songs

4) Returning of the miracles / It's my own _______ / The jester's tears / They are inside me / Agony's the script for my ______ / Returning of the miracles / It's my own _______ / Is the script already written / Jester's tears I cry / Yes, I cry

5) ____ what is ____ / He saw it clearly it's too late / It does not heal but it lets us forget / ____ what is ____ / We'll never know / So don't take care / Then ____ is ____ again

Section 3-- Symphony X

1) Desperate cries / hail of fire deciding / All our fate in the night / Tempt in sin / shadows then begin to / Gather the souls they hold within

2) The endless nights / In the moonlight, we do gather / We curse uncertainty and false desires / We lift the mask / and stand together - one and all / and when the flames grow dim, look within / ______________...

3) If you dare play the game - your descent preordained / from their fiery thrones screaming, cursing your name / On the terror it breeds - breathing fire and gree / watch him jest as you bleed...Screaming enter the ___________

Section 4-- Dragonforce

1) On the endless sea of madness we sail forever more/
And the endless tears of sadness towards the distant shores/
When the flame has died forever we stand one and all/
With the power of the almighty sword/

We fight the battle on the fields tonight/
To save us from the master of all evil sign/
And to the battle on forever standing strong/
We feel the fire power of the night warriors

2) Silent ________________ my tears in the rain / Pain in my heart bleeding through / One day we'll be back for one moment in time/ Endlessly searching for you...

Section 5-- Children of Bodom

1) War! / I refuse to be brought down by you / Praise is far away from what you do / Not only are you cranking up my brain / I'm meant to blow you away...___ (____)

2) Another night, another demise / Cadaverous wind blowing cold as ice... / I`ll let the wind blow out the light / cuz its gets more / painful ___________.

3) Peace of mind, you run away from me / So make me lose my _______________

4) And everyday when the knife in my back starts to twinge n' turn, / My eyes are catching fire and my heart starts to burn. / A foot away from you is like a bit closer to heaven, / Then again it's like being __________

Good luck folks. I may add some more later.

The Surprising Lover
68% partner focus, 33% aggressiveness, 70% adventurousness

Based on the results of this test, it is highly likely that:

You prefer your romance and love to wild and daring rather than typical
or boring, you would rather be pursued than do the pursuing and, when
it comes to physical love, your satisfaction comes more from providing
a wonderful time to your partner than simply seeking your own.

This places you in the Lover Style of: The Surprising Lover.

The Surprising Lover is a wonderful Lover Style, and, like the
name implies, is often filled with hidden delights and talents that
might not be apparent from a surface knowledge of the person. The
Surprising Lover is rather like a geode--sometimes rough on the
exterior, but filled with beauty and wonder. The Surprising Lover is
thus a gem to find, though it can sometimes be difficult to do so
because they often tend to be humble and unwilling to reveal their
inner greatness unless they're in a rewarding relationship.

In terms of physical love, the Surprising Lover really shines,
often highly imaginative and utterly devoted to bringing the heights of
pleasure to the one that they truly love. Given a rewarding,
reciprocative relationship, and the right lover, the Surprising Lover
can be a delight in bed.

Best Compatibility can probably be found with: The Carnal Lover (most of all) or the Exotic Lover, or the Suave Lover.

Congratulations!

If you enjoyed this test, I would love the feedback! Also, you
might want to check out some of my other tests if you're interested in

Hey everyone. Not a whole lot new to report I'm afraid. Been to a few events since last I posted, all went well. Sad to know that this is the slow season for Dagorhir though, so won't be much excitement for me until spring. Ah well.

I have made a new friend though. I'm quite excited about it. Some of my other friends are...less excited about it. Not sure exactly how all that will turn out, but we'll see.

I'll probably be taking a break next semester...even though I've basically taken a break this semester. That's part of the problem. OH well. I need monies so anyone that wants to throw some my way..go for it.

That's all for now. Peace out bitches.
