A passing... (update)

Journal Entry: Thu Sep 11, 2008, 5:01 PM






EDIT:

To top it all off, I am pretty sure that I just lost my main HD. It looks too corrupt for me to save data off it, and it will most likely need to be reformatted to work again. I am going to end up losing all my writings, music, most of my pictures, all the webpage files for Black Moon Galleries, pretty much everything that meant anything to me is gone. I am depressed beyond words, and even the meds I have for times like these aren't helping. I feel lost now, more than ever.

What more could possibly go wrong?

/EDIT

So, things have been crazy lately. Fall semester is starting up among other things, and sometimes it feels like there is no time for anything but school and work.

Unfortunately, there is always time for other, sadder things.

My pet parakeet (or budgie, for those who use the term) passed away today after I got home from class. She hadn't been doing too well recently, especially after losing the use of a leg to an infection. She had been extra weak the past few days and spent most of her time in the food dish so she wouldn't have to make her way over there to eat. I held her and kept her company last night. She cuddled close, electing to spend her last night on this earth with me, which I am thankful for. I buried her with her favorite bell and the treats she liked the most.

I had her for about eight years, and she was always a constant source of happiness and joy for me. The emptiness that her loss has opened inside my soul will not soon be filled.

Rest in peace my small feathered friend. May you soar above the clouds for all eternity, and I will see you once again, when my time also comes.

Take care out there folks.

-James-

Well, first of all, a great big hug and thank you to my dear :iconcelesta-darkide: for the awesome CSS for my journal. Looks awesome, babe!

For anyone interested, the website that Catherine and I have been hard at work on is finally up and running. It took a while to get everything arranged, but the results are more than I could have hoped for. Please feel free to send me a note if you are interested in participating. Our logo, which links to the website, can be seen right below this journal entry.

The summer here in Northern Virginia drags on, unfortunately. It's too hot for me, but thankfully summer will soon give way to the cool breezes of autumn. Apple picking, long drives through Shenandoah, the colors of the leaves, and so much more.

I hope all of you are doing well. Drop a line and say hello sometime. It's always good to hear from my friends!

And now for something completely different: I'm slow.

Until next time, take care out there.

-James-

Yeah...

So what's new? Hm... Had a bunch of fun at the D.C. area DevMeet on Saturday. Always good times at those. If you live in the Washington, D.C. area and wanna come out for some fun, check out :iconcapitol-deviants:!

Saw Hancock twice over the weekend. It was an ok film. The plot twist kind of ruined it for me, but that's ok. If you've seen it, you know what I mean.

Comcrap is being it's usual crappy self. God their customer service sucks balls.

Still alive and kicking, for all those that care.

Well, :icondiscoveredangel: tagged me, so I guess I have to make a post. I know she's watching me =P

Anyhow, here we go!

1. If your boyfriend/girlfriend cheated on you, what will your reaction be?

Been there, done that. A few times. It's one of those feelings that I guess you just can't describe. Lots of emotions all rolled up into one. It sucks muchly though :nod:


2. What will you do if you do not share the same feelings as the person who likes you?

I'd have to tell them. I don't think i've been in this situation before, so I'm no expert. I think though that just letting them know so that they could get on with their life would be the best idea. Wouldn't be fair to them if I led them on.


3. What is your favorite video game and why?

Tiffany I am stealing your answer! :D

Zelda Ocarina of Time, or Wind Waker. <3 Because, they're amazing. Although, I still hate the Water Temple >.< I hope it dies in a fire. YEAH THAT'S RIGHT WATER TEMPLE!


4. Are you confused as to what lies ahead of you?

I'm always confused, does that count? =P


5. What's your ideal boyfriend/girlfriend like?

Tiffany, again I steal your answer, only because they are good answers and really mirror my thoughts. You couldn't have summed it up better. :)

Someone who understands I'm crazy, and is ok with that. Someone who is kind, and patient, and hilarious. That is the true test, if they can make me laugh. Someone who is gentle, loves animals as much as I do, is respectful, and just loves to have fun with life. :) It would also be nice if they liked, and were good at the same things I am. Just simply someone who makes me happy and just lets me be crazy little me.


6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone else?

Again, with Tiffany's answer, whee! It's so true though. You really can't have one without the other, and it's a horrible feeling if you do.

This is difficult because if love is not returned, it's a terrible feeling.


7. If the person you like does not accept you, would you continue to wait for them to change their feelings?

I've been here a couple times or so. It sucks, and yes I did wait for them for a bit. They were strong feelings and I wasn't able to let go right away. Eventually though it was the best decision, and that's ok. Sometimes it's just not meant to be!


8. If you give someone a reason to lose trust in you, you would....

Well, it would suck, and I'd be hurt. But obviously, if I gave them a reason I couldn't be that mad at them. I'd certainly try to find out if I could make it up to them.

I agree!


9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy recently which you'd like to say something about?

Mmm, unhappy. Nothing comes to mind that has really upset me lately, which I am thankful for. Little day to day things here and there of course, but I think that's true for everyone. If anything big happens, I'll let ya folks know! :D


10. How do you want to live your life?

With little stress, near the ocean, with a big dog at my side. <3 The dog, the beach, and a warm climate are all I need in life. I just want to be able to relax and be happy. And be proud of the things I do and all that is around me.


11. Is being tagged fun?

No! Go away stupid Question #11! Go away! Argh!!! :stab: j/k ;)


12. If you find out that your best friend is going out with your boyfriend/girlfriend, how would you react?

I highly doubt this would happen, but if it did, death would be imminent! :o Well, maybe not, but I'd be hurt beyond belief. Not quite sure how I'd handle it. Let's hope I don't ever have to find out!


13. Who is currently the most important person to you?

This is very difficult because there is not one person who is most important to me but many.

Well said, Tiffany! Yup, all my friends and family are equally important to me. That means all you peeps here on DA, too! Love ya all :D


14. What is your favorite phrase or quote?

"What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?"


14. What is the most predominant color around you?

Whites and earth tones. :shrug:


15. Would you rather be single and rich or married and poor?

Married and poor. Hands down. If I'm with the right person, and truly love them, it doesn't matter to me. Yup! This is so true, I can't agree more.

16. What kind of sounds are the most annoying?

Um, annoying ones? =P Alarm clocks and telephones (especially cell phones!!!) probably. Blech!


17. Would you give your all in a relationship?

Yes indeedy, but with care. Did once and got hurt, so now I am being more cautious. Don't need that feeling again.


18. What do you see music as?

A necessity. A way to unwind, relax, and be yourself. I've known some folks who didn't listen to music much or at all, which was very strange. How is this possible? :O


19. What type of friends do you like?

Friends that accept me for me, and feel that they can be themselves around me. :nod: It's nice to have friends who enjoy the things I do, but that's not a necessity. Ya gotta be able and willing to have crazy fun, though! Yarr!


20. Do you have any favorite pairing(s) in any fandoms?

Say what now? :O

Ok, ya happy now, Tiffany!? =P Hehehehe :hug: :heart:

And I tag:
