December of 2014

Hey its been awhile, and how many times have i said that? Too many, anyways heres how last year ended for me.

The first notable event of the month, was when we went to seattle late at night and give hot coffee and cocoa to poor people on the streets, it was a very nice thing for us to do, and the hot coffee tasted great too, no i am not implying that i drinked all of the hot coffee. and there was a thing where “people where being good and doing good things” in the park nearby (Homeless people were giving each other things in the center of the park.), because of this, our services were not immediately required. But i’m just happy to have helped others in need.

next i will tell you what presents i got for christmas, you're probably wondering why i am talking about this when this is not that far in the month, but its because i got my big christmas present BEFORE christmas, it was an desktop computer made to play high end vidya games, “Cyberpowerpc” is its name and it seems to be pretty good at running games, it also has a door, for some reason, and it came with a gaming mouse, which felt good to hold but LOOKED very douchey, it was red and over sized and all of this extra shit on it that was unnecessary and very tacky. so i used my old cordless mouse instead.

anyways, i had already decided to get a desktop computer for a while but i got a very good reason to get one because my dads alienware computer’s (which i was normally using for playing video games) screen broke and then its hard drive broke because i dropped it, and another computer i had which could play really old games just died for no reason.

so computers were dropping like characters in game of thrones, so i NEEDED the new computer, since then, my dad has gotten new hard drives for both, and a friend of his was able back up the computer that was old’s hard drive and i used it to get back the saves for games that didn't have cloud saving, (like the original Thief) and other stuff like my snuff porn and top secret plans that nobody else should know under any circumstances to assassinate the president.

yep.

wait......................

OH SHIT!

FORGET I SAID THAT, ALSO when christmas actually happened, i got a bunch of candy, some money, a book about jesus doing sports, which was making fun of people who pray to jesus publicly in sports , and a toy fan with one of the m&m guys on it, which had m&ms (Really? Nooooooooo.) coming out of the bottom, but it was FUN sized m&m, which means really small m&ms, which means i got barely any of them, which mean it sucked, which means it wasn't fun. so i throwed the piece of junk away, and left it to rot.

1/10, terrible present.

also i got the arthurian companion, which was a altas of all things king arthur, it mostly chronicled things from the very early legends of the perfect christian king, not newer incarnations, so this was mainly things like Le Morte D’Arthur.

(in coming history lesson) which was probably written in 1469-70 (the book was published posthumously.) by the prisoner sir thomas malory, who based it on earlier sources and tales about king arthur (mostly french romances), and put it into one book, which makes it very important to the legend of king arthur, as it is the most complete source for the legend. ironically, Thomas Malory was in prison because he had been convicted for banditry and rape, and yet for some reason, perhaps as an attempt to redeem himself for the crimes he had committed, he wrote about a king know for upholding chivalry and heroic values.

maybe it was punishment? “As punishment for being unchivalrous, you will be forced to write the most complete record of the Legend of a King known for upholding moral values!” “No, not that! anything but that!”

Anyways, the arthurian companion itself is an interesting and informational read and is useful for those running a pendragon (a tabletop roleplaying game about king arthur.) game.

(it is also perhaps one of the first books to contain a spoiler title, in middle french, the title means “the death of arthur”, man, what a spoiler. Maybe this title was what influenced jrr tolkien to name the last lord of the rings book “return of the king”, where the king comes back.)

so my christmas wasn't really notable, but it was still fun, because i spent time with my parents.

And now, here's how new years of 2014 was for me. (as you should notice, this month actually wasn't very eventful) Like last year my friend gabe came over, and like last year we hanged out, we played garrys mod (which i hadn't played for years at the time, so it was like a meeting of old friends, like the actual meeting of friends that was happening at the same time) and had a sniper showdown, in garry’s mod, not real life, neither of us is that cool...........or insane.

and like last year we sacrificed a goat to satan, oh and he told me that he was playing the led in his school’s play, which was really cool!. The play he was playing (a little redundant, much?) in, was the classic musical “guys and dolls”, which is about a guy who is very clearly of the Y chromosome, and is not the only one of that chromosome in the play, which fills in the “guys” part of the title, who needs 1000$ to keep on running the oldest permanent caps game, so he bets a fellow member of the Y chromosome named sky madison, who is played by my friend gabe if you're watching at his school, that he can’t make take the next X chromosome, or as he puts it, “doll”, slang for a pretty woman (which puts in the doll part of the title. it also is in the same play so the “and” part is true as well, the only part of the title that's questionable is the “s” in dolls, unless you sexistly label all women in the play as dolls, then all of the title is 100% true, rare to see such honesty in a title), he sees fall in love with him.

for some reason he didn’t account for if the next woman he sees is married, already in a relationship, gay, old, is actually the baba yugi, a Yuki-onna, or a succubus. or that she might be on her way to becoming a he. or that she is actually already a man, but then again he might just find another woman if that's the case. anyways he meets a missionary named Miss Sarah Brown, they fall in love, and then shit happens.

In a totally unrelated subject, we also played cards against humanity (Apples to apples for horrible people), which normally requires at least 3 people but my dad and mom were asleep so we used an optional rule, that was where you can play with an fictional player named rando cardissian (yes, like lando calrissian, the only black person left standing in the galaxy of star wars), who you would draw one card for and that's the card he plays, however we needed one more player, so we had another fake player based on a star wars character, the fly alien slave owner in star wars episode 1 who had the big nose which made people think it was a racist jewish stereotype, and (as you can see) we couldn't remember his name, so we called him “Space Fly Jew Alien”.

Oddly enough even  though his cards were completely random, “he” keep getting points! Gabe was not happy at this and he often said “GOD DAMN IT SPACE FLY JEW ALIEN”, to our laughter, he ultimately rage quit the game because the imaginary person SJFA keep on getting getting points, in fact the fictional player got second place (i got first btw), to my (and arguably his) amusement.

Also, the most offense card mixture played was this:

“What’s Teach for America using to inspire inner city students to succeed?”

“The Next School Shooting”

and then 12:00 AM hit, we didn't really care we were just playing on our computers, in contrast to last year where we were sitting on the couch yelling happy new year and being all happy and stuff. he left the next morning, obviously, what, did you think we adopted him or something?

HAPPY VERY LATE NEW LATE YEAR EVERYBODY.

next: february 2015

and then march 2015 when its june or may or december or something, and maybe those other months that happened in 2014 that i was too lazy to write.

see you soon (or eventually)!
