So this is the date that my current contract at work expires. Usually I would of signed a new contract by now but since the new government was elected in there have been lots of changes in regards to funding. So my section still have no idea how much they can get which leaves me out in the cold. If they dont sort their shit out by next week I'm pretty much unemployed again. Cant say I'm too shocked that this might be happening, but in the way its happening is a bit surprising. So yeah I guess we'll see how it goes.
In other news my friend Royce has been heckling me into writing out my story ideas and getting an artist to commission them into a comic book and putting them up on indiegogo/kickstarter since there seem to be heaps of comics getting funded that look rubbish. I'll admit I'm seriously thinking about it and sorting out my current ideas into a more fleshed out order. I originally had them as stories for books, so it'll take a little tweaking to get them as a comic. But if I do go ahead with it I'll put up details here about some of the ideas. If I dont get extended then I'm 100% doing it since I'll have nothing to do and will need to keep my mind away from suicide lololol

Blast from the past
This has been an interesting week for me. But the highlight was getting in touch with a friend I havent spoken to in 25 years. See, next month my high school reunion is happening. Obviously I'm not going because fuck people. I'm not one for gatherings. But going through the facebook page thats been set up for it I decided to see how everyone I knew has been faring. Then I noticed the name of one person who I have always wanted to track down but never could. This is the brief story of a girl who was not only my first love, but also my best friend in highschool.
We used to spend heaps of time together. Most times I'd walk her home after school, we'd meet up on weekends to go to the library for study, go to places to eat, visit the cinema etc. We never dated, though I could have easily if I wanted to. But I was more happy having her as a friend. Now the problem with this is some others were annoyed by me. She was one of the popular girls, and there were guys who were interested in her and saw me as a constant blockade. I remember one time 3 of them cornered me and told me to either ask her out or stop hanging out with her so much because noone could approach her. Told them shes a friend, they can go ahead and ask her out, nothing to do with me. Clearly this didnt make me too popular with some people. But fuck them.
Anyway, the last 2 times we spoke were pretty memorable. I'll start with the final. Walking her home from school, suddenly she turns on me and just loses it. I was like wtf. She started yelling at me saying how she couldnt believe I hadnt asked her out to the graduation, similar to a prom for my american friends. Another friend of mine had asked her to it and she had accepted. Berated me how she was expecting me to ask her, how her parents were even expecting it too. In all honesty I didnt want a date for it. I was happy to go with friends and just do my own thing, not be dragged around for dances and have to focus on one person only. So for me it was a bit of a relief someone had asked her as I was expecting on the final day to just be automatically nominated by her whether I wanted to or not. A weird thing to feel towards the girl you were in love with. But thats me.
So the second final time we spoke was the catalyst for everything. I was at home doing something or other when the phone rang. I picked it up and on the other end I could hear her crying. She was over a friend of ours house and apparently he had told her I'd called her a bunch of bad things, like slut etc. So shes sobbing and asking how could I say such things, she thought we were friends etcetc. Through the entire tirade my brain was working furiously. Had I said these things? Did I say them and just forget? Surely I must have if shes crying like this. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that not even offhandedly had I said any of this. Then I realized what was really happening. One of my best friends had decided to stab me in the back because he was interested in her. This was betrayal of the highest order. And thats when everything changed for me.
I finally answered her by admitting I'd said those things. I was done. As heart wrenching as what was happening, I was over it and didnt need any more drama that highschool brought. When she got off my friend hopped on and his tone, which I still remember to this day with absolute fury, was almost accusing. Shes crying, he said. Those things you called her were really uncalled for, he said. At the time I couldnt believe it. I questioned myself again. Had I said them after all since he sounded so sure of himself. Was he maybe misunderstanding or mishearing something I'd said casually. No. By now I was 100% certain. Fuck you I thought. I told him to make sure he kept her happy. And then I hung up and went andlocked myself up in my room with whatever was left of my shattered mind. Funnily enough they broke up a couple months or so later. At least thats what I recall. I'm not completely sure since we didnt hang out after that again. He tried to keep in contact with me, but after a little realized I wanted nothing to do with him.
It was pretty much on that day when I realized, despite my positive outlook on everything, that people sucked and majority of them were fake. It took a couple years more before I'd fully cursed the world and everything in it. My profiling of people became inhumanly accurate. I would always have friends asking me for advice on things or relationships, because my brain had somehow evolved to see past all the layers of bullshit. Even to this day a friend of mine showed me pictures of 3 guys she was sort of interested in. I told her what I expected each one of them to be like, down to 1 of them most likely having the ability to cheat. She was floored since that guy, who looked fairly normal in his photo, had cheated on a previous girlfriend. Which made me ask the question, why the fuck are you even interested in him to begin with. But then I realized people just love drama.
Any way, after graduation which was year 10, we all went to a new school that covered years 11-12, and then followed onto university. We ended p never speaking again. She found a new circle of friends and I lost all contact. I've always wanted to tell her that I never said any of those things. Its been smashing around in my head frequently since then. One of those moments where you wonder how things would of been had you said or not said something, and wanting to rewind the clock. I'm still content with what I did. What I'm not happy about is not having the chance to tell her later that it never happened. So when I saw her name on the facebook post I decided to message her a couple months later. I had to gather my courage. After all what sort of reaction would I expect? Anger? Indifference? Could be anything. But I'd decided it didnt matter. I needed to do this for myself, to finally get it out of my system so I could move on. Amazingly enough she was outright shocked.
I wont paste up the entire conversation, but these are a few lines from it just for gossip sake - 'Omg....I don't know what to say....you were my closest friend in high school the one person I thought would be there always......You made high school bearable, it was us against the school......I remember the break before we started Year 11 and you turned to me and said that things would change and I was like no it won't it will be fine....Lets get together sooner rather than later. Free most weekends, would love to catch up on the last 25 years.''
So yeah, I was pretty made up with that. Easily the best reaction I could of hoped for. In case you're wondering, yes shes married and has a couple kids. So no, I will not be doing some bullshit romcom movie style of finding my highschool sweet heart and marrying her. Because that stuff never happens. But I hear you ask, what if she were single? Would I have followed through with anything? No, I would not. Many years ago I chose friendship. I'm still happy with that choice and dont regret anything. Logic states I'd still be happy to continue that trend.
So thats my big thing. Your eyes are probably broken from reading so much. If they are, I encourage you to abuse Jed. Abuse him thoroughly. And tell him I sent you. I think next weekend is when we'll probably meet up so that should be fun. At least conversation wont be boring. We have 25 years to catch up on.

I really should update more
So I took a little break. 22rd of last month was 3 years to the day my cat passed. So I was in my own little world for the past few weeks. The only reason I didnt go completely catatonic like I usually do is because I've been working so slightly distracted. Sadly its affected my concentration at work and my level of stuffs have been a little mediocre. Will be snapping out of it after this week and going for gold. The one irritating thing about work is that I'm having to be around people. And you all know how I just loathe that. For the first time in many years I've found myself thinking maybe a girlfriend might be a good idea. Bullshit right? This isnt me. Need to do something about this new broken thinking.
One thing I must share is one of my trainers at work Sonia, in the middle of being trained she said she thought I was familiar when she first saw me and then said its because she saw my blog years back. Obviously this floored me. She mentioned about the update long ago where myself and a couple friends cosplayed as GI Joe characters, and then said she was into cosplaying and creating her own outfits. I mean I know quite a few cosplayers, but I didnt know anyone who actually made outfits so this was very cool. I checked out her blog and found this.
She made that. Ridiculous talent right? Looks completely professional. The most I ever managed to create out of a needle and thread was a pillow case. And I dont think it could be described as a pillow case. Thats far too flattering for it. She also does things like this for childrens parties...
Tell me that doesnt just blow your mind. Balloon characters. First thing that came to mind was the character Skuld. But thats me. Right now she isnt doing much of these types of things cause shes about to have a baby, which is pretty amazing. So she'll be taking a break for a bit. If you want to see her blog heres the link-
https://www.blogger.com/profile/04649481301908838417
So whats new with me... Oh, I got a new addition to my Ariel family.
I've also finally done it. After 5+ years of looking for a camera, I have finally chosen one. Had my eye on it before it came out, and the reviews and features sold it for me. And this is after watching many videos, looking and reading many website reviews and photo displays etc, no rushing into this. Its the Panasonic GX85. The deal came with 3 lenses which was super good and saved me like probably $400. Pretty good considering it only came out in April. Sadly they havent sent it yet and its been over a week. Most likely stock issues. Very frustrating because I need this damn thing. I need to learn it inside out so I can start taking some cool pictures and be prepared for Disney Land/World next year. Again, only happening if I dont lose my job by then. So you never know really.
Anyway almost 1am and I have to be up in 5 hours. I'll add more possibly tomorrow. As well as upload a new video. By tomorrow I pretty much mean tonight. No promises cause I'm shit at keeping time.

Disney is done
So I finally got all the disney statues I REALLY wanted. Passed on a few because of the standard reasons like lack of space, lack of money, only a big fan of a few select characters instead of the entire range, etcetc. I went after the 3 main ones I love. Ariel, Maleficent, and Belle. I got a couple others like Aurora and Anna because I loved those designs of them, and an Elsa that actually looked good so Anna wouldnt feel alone. She wouldnt though since she has Ariel to keep her company. Anyway here it is!
Now that I'm done I'll have to work on my Alien shelf. Bit annoyed I need to wait till september for a couple things to come out that I need badly to complete my childhood wants. Plus Hot Toys Ripley end of the year. Cant wait. But yeah, getting that 1 step closer to looking around my room and just seeing happiness all around.
I uploaded a picture of them earlier but I wasnt happy with the layout so I tweaked it some, which is shown here. I wish my camera wasnt so shit so I could catch all the details. For that I'll need to photograph everything up close one by one. For some reason the light in my room, despite being disgustingly bright, cameras seem to hate it. Cant figure it out. I'll most likely make a video showing off each one in detail which I'll upload to the patreon for those interested in it. Can't wait to get a better camera. But that wont be for a while yet. Money isnt my friend currently and the ones I am interested in arent out yet.
Clearly my favourite is Ariel. Thats a given since shes the best. The large Maleficent I have wanted for a very long time. I love the classic animated look and this statue was amazing. I only got the Jolieficent one because I thought the design for it was excellent. Plus she was awesome as her. Still PISSED they turned the greatest villain disney had into a good character, but I still enjoyed the movie heaps. I just see it as an alternate reality version of her. She doesnt need a love story to show why shes evil. Shes just evil. Theres no other reason other than she just wants to fuck the entire world over.
Had I not gotten a job recently half of those statues wouldnt be mine today and I would of just sulked at missing more things I really wanted. Still furious over the Thor statue I missed out on years back. Makes me cry. I still get it if I'm prepared to pay $400 more its going price on ebay. Cause fuck resellers.
The beauty and the best one in the lower left corner thats on a little stand, thats also a music box which I thought was pretty cool. I was also not expecting the top left one of her to be so huge when it came in. I'm just glad I could fit them all onto my shelves. Dont think I'll collect any more for a long time since I've taken up 2 shelves already. They'll have to be something special. But I'm still prepared to buy more Ariels since I'm biased to the core for her.
Now that I'm done I'll have to work on my Alien shelf. Bit annoyed I need to wait till september for a couple things to come out that I need badly to complete my childhood wants.

PC scared me
The other night my pc did something very special. It froze. Its been quite a while since it last did that so it was a bit of a surprise. But it was a hard freeze. So I had to hold the power button down for a while and hard reset. Half hour later or so, it froze again. This time when I restarted it the thing did something frightening. It would load for 3seconds, make a little beep, then reset. And continue until I hard reset it. It just wouldnt stop this cycle. So I'm thinking omg what if my motherboard or cpu is finally dead. I mean this pc is getting on in years. Maybe if I'm lucky its the ram. But its hard to pinpoint.
So the next day I got up and took the system outside, used a hairdryer to blow out as much dust as I could. Figured a good clean would be worth it since its been ages. After that my plan was to remove everything and plug them in one at a time to see what might be broken. Removed the video card and unplugged the hdds inside. I know my SSD drive is faulty so that was in the back of my mind, Decided to be a liiiiiittle lazy and leave the cpu and ram in. Turned it on, worked fine. There goes my original theory of mboard, ram, or possibly cpu being broken. Plugged the hdd in, turned on again fine. Plugged in all my hdds and the system still turned on without a problem.
So now I'm wondering wtf could of caused this. I have a suspicion one of my front usb slots could be faulty. Could have caused the reset and then some kind of weird...SOMETHING. I'll be avoiding that slot from now on and seeing if it'll happen again.
One thing I discovered though was 1 of the 2 fans on my video card doesnt spin anymore. Not going to lie, I knew -A- fan in my system was having issues since I'd hear it whirr everytime I turned my pc on. But couldnt figure out which one it was. Havent heard the sound in a while now. I guess I know why. I did decide to check my computers temps just to be on the safe side. CPU and GPU temps were fine even after playing games for a couple hours. So that was encouraging.
Will admit I was a little frustrated before all this since I thought I'd have to buy a new system. Mainly because its just getting so old. I mean a 560ti video card is like 5 years old. Everything else inside even older. The annoying thing is I definitely cant afford it right now so I was preparing to go into a vicious amount of debt. But thankfully I'm sparred this for a little while longer. Lets see how far I can go. With luck, another year. By then I'll be needing to upgrade for sure. Most games run quite well on high. Some on max, some on medium. But come next year I think I may start to struggle.
But yeah. Things are positive for the moment.

Eeeeee new star trek series!
So excited! You know people used to ask me what do I like more, star trek or star wars. I really couldnt say since I like scifi lots and I'm pretty much there if theres space ships etc. Then I look over and notice my ST Original series bluray set, TNG bluray set, and the Enterprise bluray set. Plus all the movies and the new movies too. And despite liking star wars, well some of them, I dont own anything except a storm trooper pop figure. Still didnt really click. Then I saw the teaser for the new star trek tv series and omg I got super excited. So I guess I prefer star trek. Mind you its unfair to compare since its a tv series which means theres heaps more enjoyment. I mean I've loved the Clone Wars and now Rebels star wars series. Yeah, I think I like quantity. With lasers.
At the moment I'm putting together some tiers for the new patreon...uh...tiers. To be honest I'm completely unsure about a couple of them, but oh well. The 3 of us have come up with some ideas to start off with and we'll probably alter and add stuff down the track via feedback from everyone.
So I wanted to take a moment and bring up some crap news. Jeds car absolutely died the other day. Needless to say he's feeling pretty bummed out over it which is no surprise. Now this wouldnt be such a big issue if he wasnt already paying off an obscenely high hospital bill he was saddled with when the doctors almost accidentally killed his wife during child birth because they're fucking inept at their jobs. But thats something to rant about over another time.
Anyway, one thing about Jed and myself is that we dont like to ask for help from others. We're too proud and stubborn and set in our ways. So I'm going to do this for him, despite being uncomfortable about it, because I'm a bro. And bros do things for bros. Even when it isnt a safe or smart thing to do. Tag-Rock throwing in the part, asked my friends? SURE I replied!
So if anyone wants to offer Jed any help by donating a few dollars to help him out with his car troubles, that would be beyond amazing. You can either click the button here or any of the donate options on the youtube page or twitch channel. I'm sure he'll personally thank anyone who donates, after I get a little bit of an earful from his prideful loud outside voice for doing this. I'll be hearing it any way since I'll be tossing him my share of the patreon money for the next couple months or so to help him out since I'm not working currently and thats the best I can manage. But yeah, thanks for any support with this. And bless your little pretty faces.

Good and Bad
So this week has been productive. Finally had a job interview in a branch of the government that I've been trying to get to for years. Thankfully I had a little help in getting it since I have a friend that works there and is in the recruiting section also. Funny thing about Australia, or maybe everywhere I guess as I expect people dont like saying it, the government sector here is heavily biased towards women. People like to scoff when I say this but any time I tell them to go to an office and start counting the employees to see the male to female ratio, they refuse. Probably because they dont like reality going against what they believe.
Any way, before I went in I asked her on the phone how many guys are in her section, just for fun. She said 0. That actually surprised me since I was expecting 2-4 out of a couple dozen. But yeah, 0. So I get there and around the buildings outside I just see women. People walking out of the buildings, women. People getting out of cars, women. Not going to lie, I felt a little weird. Like I'd just stumbled into an amazonian settlement. She left me inside and it was her and 2 other women interviewing me. She didnt ask any questions thankfully and I'm guessing she told her boss and the other lady she wouldnt because it would just get way too awkward. Everything went fine and out the door I went. Now heres the super funny bit. As I step out the door of the building someone calls to me. Its a man. It also happens to be a friend I hadnt seen in over 15 years. So that pretty much floored me.
So by next friday I should find out whether I'll be working in an office thats completely filled with women. Not gonna lie, my biggest fear will be if multiple girls have synchronized PMS days. Pray for me...
Also I cut myself earlier when shaving. Just a small cut. But this cut is the douche of all cuts. It just WONT stop bleeding. I pressed a tissue to it for a while, nothing. Did that dodgy cut a little piece of tissue and stick it to it, pulled it off after 20min, still bleeding. So I firmly pressed a tissue to my face for an hour. The area went numb. The bleeding has finally stopped. Will do my best not to make any suddeny facial motions till tomorrow. Luckily I'll be going to sleep soon so I should be good. Wont shave tomorrow to allow it to heal a bit more. Maybe I'll leave it for a couple days. Stupid thing! I should laser my face so I never have to shave again. Again, pray for me.
