| I return.
So, I'm eighteen now. That awkward period of three years between being a teenager and being an adult.
Forget the cigarettes at 18 and alchohol at 21. I can't wait till I'm 24, so that I can rent a car :).

| Got a new Xanga. Named: TheSniperWolf
But I might keep updating this one. "Keep" being a relative term, considering some people might prompt me to "start" updating this one. Who those people would be, I don't know. But they'd do it.
So far I havn't really been able to get into anything down here. It's like I keep waiting for something big to happen, or something small and interesting, at least, before I really commit myself to staying down here. I know I should probably decide one way or the other, and soon, if I'm going to stay down here or not.
The reasons to move back up north are: Familiarity. Friends. Spiritual network. Weather.
Reasons to stay: Financial issues. Free room/board (Ties in with finances, though). School. Family (they're all closer).
And I know I can develop friends, familiarity, and a spiratual network down here, but I'm reluctant to start if I'm going to be moving back up.
The only thing holding me from moving back up right now is that I have nowhere to stay up there. Well, that's the main thing holding me back.
So. Since last I posted I have stopped working at Jamba Juice.
There were a number of reasons for my quitting. The foremost of which is that the atmosphere of the place just didn't suit me. Working there requires a lot of outgoing-ness. You have to be 'peppy' and 'cheery' all the time. And quite frankly, I'm a pretty closed person. Definitly not the job for me.
The reason that this is the main reason that I quit, it becasue this is the point on which my boss approached me. He said that, pretty much, that I didn't have a "Jamba" additude. And that I should either become more enthusiastic about my work, or quit.
Quite frankly, I'm not enthusiastic about fruit shakes.
So, I'm looking for a job again. Though I want to decide if I'm going to stay down here before I get another, simply becasue I don't want to have to leave it a few weeks in because I'm moving back up.
Hmm.
As I was typing about moving and jobs and all that other unimportant caphooy. God tapped me on the shoulder and said in a quiet voice, "Perhaps you should ask me."
And he's right.
Really, I should. I always pray about things for other people, but rarely take the time to ask what I should be doing in my life. I've really got to change that.
And now. To end with a quote.
"On one shoulder is a Devil saying, "Do it." On the other, an Angel saying, "Do it now.""

| Well, it's sure been awhile. But I only missed one month this time.
I just got a job, like, just today. It's at Jamba Juice. Not sure how I feel about that, but I know I'll enjoy getting money.
It's really just sunk in that I'm not going back to Minnesota, and that this isn't just some extended vacation. It feels weird, knowing that a place that I spent 9 years of my life will probably fade to sheer memory, excepting a visit or two.
Well, aside from that, I've really started digging into a new musical genre (for me). Indie.
A lot of it is pretty weird, but in a good way.
So, not really sure what I'm supposed to be talking about, so I'm going to stop talking.

| So...
As some of you may or may not care, I'm in the middle of what is known
as the "job" "hunt". I've already ranted elsewhere about what a
mind-numbingly stupid term that is, so I won't go on about it here, but
there it is.
It really sucks being out of HS, but still 17 for the reason that, even
though I was "mature" (hah) enough to take two full years of college, I
apparently still can't get a job at most places. Wether it be a movie
place (which doesn't even rent X rated movies, so I can't really figure
out why they won't hire someone who can legally see R rated movies) or
a drug store (because apparently even touching the boxes of cigarettes
is bad for your health if you're a minor).
But enough about that. I need a job for a few reasons, and I'll let you
play a game and see if you can guess which are most important to me.
Have money for:
A car&gas&insurance
College
Video games
New video game systems
Social outings (movie, concerts, ect...)
Ok, got your list all figured out?
It was sort of a trick question. Systems and games are both ranked as
number one. Then college, then social outings, then car and it's
friends.
See, this is an interactive blog, much better than everyone elses. 
And... just because, here goes a tiny hiku for you.
Soft, and golden brown
And filled with tasty syrup
Waffles, I love you.
There you go, a hiku about waffles, now you've heard one and can die happy.
That's all I've got for now so... leave?

| Ok, apparently there were a few beefs with my last post.
A. I know that there are female nerds. I was using a sterotype that all
nerds are male. Sterotypes were made to be used, frequently. Lighten up
people.
B. There are a few women that know as much as men about X-men, but the
majority of nerds are, in fact, male. It's because we're just
genetically cooler. Science has proven it. It's true.
To Durry:
1. Iceman/Rouge.
This started, I beleive, in the new T.V serries. X-men: Evolution. They probably just took it from that.
Power Inconsistencies.
Pheonix is suposed to be able to shoot fire as well as move things
with her mind.
Just because she didn't doesn't mean she couldn't have. Plus, she did make quite a few people desintagrate.
Colossus can't cover other people with his metal.
He didn't, that was Rogue he had his hand on. She absorbed the power and used it.
Callestaro dosn't exist and they already have other caracters who have
hightend sencess, super speed (Quicksilver) and the ability to track
other mutents (Cerribra).
Meh, who says these new characters they brought in didn't exist in that world. They just decided to use new ones, who cares?
There, now that I've cleared all that up I only have this to say. You all suck.
Just kidding... maybe.
