I haven't posted for a while. So here is an update.
Jarid won tickets to go see Igor and the Red Elvises, so we went to see them on Thursday. It was pretty cool. They did one of the most amusing drum solos ever, all the band members played the drums. It was fairly awesome, even if I barely knew any of the songs. Then we found out mc chris was gonna be there on Friday, so we had to go.
It was a fairly awesome night. I was worried cause I had a headache and it didn't seem to want to go away. Once we got there my headache kind of went away, leaving me to enjoy the night. I bought some mc chris pins and a few stickers. We went and sat at a table that was kinda at the back of the club, and I was practically sitting under a light. The first band got on stage, a band I hadn't heard of, I Fight Dragons. They apparently play music with Nintendo controllers and even had a power pad they were using as well. They were pretty good so I bought their CD(Ended up getting a sticker and a pin as well). Then Whole Wheat Bread was on and they rocked. They played most of the songs I wanted to hear, and I enjoyed it. mc chris got on stage and I was so freaking happy. At first he kept disappearing and Jarid was all "I know he's short, but he's not that short." Apparently he had all his music set up to play, since he didn't really have a band with him. He rocked, even tho I didn't know much of his newer stuff, I enjoyed it a lot. At one point he sneezed during a song and started over, claiming the sneeze sounded like "A teddy bear waking up from a nightmare." I couldn't stop laughing over that. He talked about, juggalos, then would sing some songs, then he would talk about porn and video games, then sing some more songs. It was awesome, and I was happy to sing along to Geek and Fett's Vette. And since I was sitting near light I was happy to do all the silly hand movements he asked of everyone. At one point, we think he pointed at Jarid and yelled "You in the back with the glasses, come on!" To which Jarid replied with a sudden movement of his arm. At one point someone requested a song, and mc was all like "No, voice is going out enough, no." And then a bunch of people started requesting songs, mostly I Want Candy. He talked about collecting money for cystic fibrosis, which they had a bucket for at his merchandise table. After the show, we hung out, waiting for the long line to die down. I got mc chris to sign my bandanna and got a photo with him(photo ended up looking crappy so I'm not uploading it) and I emptied my coin purse into the CF bucket. We ended up hanging out a bit longer to get Whole Wheat Bread to sign my bandanna and Jarid's Punk Life CD. Ended up talking to the drummer for five minutes about pac-man. Then we left. Of course the adventure didn't stop there...
We were totally hungry, and wanted to hit up a gas station for some munchies. The one gas station that seemed to be open Jarid claimed that it sucked(since he stopped there the night before), so we went to look for another one. Apparently all life in Madison dies after 1 am. We ended up going to a Wal-mart. Now something that a Wal-mart shouldn't have is it's own parking garage. Also, Wal-marts should not have elevators and escalators. So we walked around the store for a bit, checked out and we were heading for the exit when all of a sudden someone was calling a code, which one I wasn't sure of. We asked the lady about it, and she didn't know, thought it was something about drugs or something. So we leave, and as we walk out the doors, I see a guy, and his face is half covered in blood. And as we left the parking garage, there were cops down the street forcing a guy down on the ground at gun point. Ahh, fun times. :)

Before I get on with the lovely update, I have this to say:
Like cats? Love seeing them do funny or cute things? Don't mind Japanese? Then meet Maru!
Anyway, on with the update. Thanksgiving was okay, well kind of okay. Well, here's the set up, you guys may remember me talking about my brother's dogs, Buddy, a Jack Russel, and Dexter, a Papillon. Well, Buddy had been fighting with Dexter, so we had taken Dexter in over here. We had hoped that some time apart would have done some good and Thanksgiving with everyone would have been nice. Yeah, that was a bad idea, four wounded, one dead. Dead, the family mood, both dogs hurt, not so bad that they needed a vet, Jason was injured and was saddened that he couldn't play perfect Guitar Hero rounds, Justin was also injured and bitched about it all night. After eating, I passed out on the couch, since I had been up all night. I woke up to the family playing a game of Scene It, half awake I ended up schooling everyone at the game. After that we played some board games and then went home.
Okay, I did forget one little detail, both my Da and brother Jason were SICK at the time. I was fine the day after Thanksgiving, but the day after that I woke up with issues, one of those issues was being sick to my stomach, vomiting and such. I'd hoped that sleeping it off would help. Usually after being sick like that, upping once is enough but later I did it again. I ended up not eating anything for three days, for the fear of it coming back up(I REALLY hate throwing up, to the point that I would rather have a needle in me then having to throw up). Jarid got it, then my mom, and Justin had it before us. So yeah, hell of a week.
Also, my birthday was fairly low. Golden Birthday and I didn't get any dang gold. ;_; Also, it snowed for two of the days I was sick. Which just made me want to sleep even more.
So...You guys doing good?

Current Music: The Figgs - Girl, Kill Your Boyfriend

Yes, Persona #, not 3, but #. As much as I'd like to say I want to talk about Persona 3, I'm not going to. I'll mention the engine it runs on, you could call the whole game a date sim(But lets be true to ourselves(Wow, pun to be made unintentionally), it's not really one), but it really isn't. It's just like the old ones, but instead of befriending monsters, it's other people.
Anyway, the reason for this post, Persona 4. The only good thing about Persona 4 running on the Persona 3 engine, I know how to tear the game apart. Within 30 minutes of having my old Persona 3 ripping programs, I now have most of the images from the game(I am missing some, but I'm still searching), working on converting the video, and am plotting a page layout with some of the images.
I have also learned that the fun of the "headshots" that was great in Persona 3, has been changed in Persona 4. I haven't tried playing the game yet(I wouldn't get very far really), but from the looks of it, it's a fetish heaven for glasses. From what I can tell, every "Party Player" wears glasses at some point. I didn't spend a whole lot of time going through the bust images, so don't totally quote me on that.
I'm also starting to wonder if the characters have like...Part-time jobs or something. Cause I'm seeing aprons(you know, like the ones you always see anime characters wearing when they're working at a convenience store) on quite a few of the characters, something new for the game play mayhaps? Not that I really need anything new. Just thinking about the gun-less high school students makes me long for Persona 3. Of course, if it's a way to make it past the censors because they're no blowing their brains out, who knows. So long as we can still have Penis chariots, then I'm highly happy and amused, but I digress...
Anyway, Persona 4 looks good. I'll buy it, if money allows it. Ever since I QUIT smoking, I've been very poor. Makes me wonder why I quit in the first place...Oh yeah, the promise of $40 a month...And the lack of that money makes me want to smoke again. >.

I've learned that Jarid's mom is a total bitch. It was agreed that she would be paying for at the very least $400+ of Jarid's much needed removal of his wisdom teeth, and my mom was gonna pay the other $400+. Now, she's saying she's not paying for any more because she paid for his check ups that were like $300+. I foresee this becoming one of those fights that they have. I really don't want to hear this type of fight, but she brings it upon herself by being such a lying cunt(sorry if you guys don't like that word, but it's all I can use to describe her right now).
Other news, my father has lost the job he was at for like 40+ years. It was alright, but now, my mom, who works at General Motors, might loose her job in like, three years. So yeah, bad week for my family. It's just another reason why the whole thing about Jarid's mom is pissing me off.
Weather here has been crazy. We had really bad winds over the weekend and my brother, the dumbass that he is, put the screen house up and didn't secure it at all. So, wind gets bad so I go outside and look around. The ladder that leaned against the garage was now laying on the generator, and a few of the branches on the neighbor's trees were in the driveway. I looked back at the screen house and noticed it had moved forward off the bricks again. I remember thinking that mom was gonna be annoyed again, when I saw the wind pick up the back end of it and it just kind of...rolled over the rose bushes and trailer. I was standing by the back of my mom's car watching as the screen house rolled towards me. It hit the apple tree and then headed my way. I scrambled back away from my mom's car, and that's when the screen house hit the ground and the car right in front of me. I ran into the house and woke my mom up, first with the news of her car, and when she was out of bed, it seemed like an after thought to tell her I was alright. I think I spent the next hour, in shorts and a sports bra, in the rain, trying to remove the tarp that was the roof so that it wouldn't blow into the neighbor's yard.
So yeah, charming weekend. Now lets fight over little things.

Current Music: New Years Day - Brilliant Lies

I'm sorry that I loved you,
I'm sorry that I cared,
I'm sorry that I played the games you did,
They never got us anywhere.
I'm sorry if this hurts you,
I'm sorry I just lied,
The truth is, I don't care if you get hurt or not,
For all the tears you've made me cry

I should have known we'd never get anywhere,
Can't fall in love when you're falling apart,
Can't make amends if you're only making mistakes,
And empty words can't fix a broken heart

If the world froze over and everybody died,
And you and I were the only ones alive,
I'd say, "I'm sorry you made it, it's more then you deserve,
Don't try to make it better, you'll only make it worse"

I'm sorry that you miss me,
I'm sorry I don't care,
I was just a crutch for your loneliness,
Your heart was never really there,
I'm sorry that I wasted so much of my time,
Time I could have spent with someone else would have meant,
Less of you and all your lies,
You'll only make it,
You'll only make it worse

If the world froze over,
And only I survived,
I'd sing these words at your funeral,
"It's good to be alive"

Haven't been in the greatest of moods lately. Mostly because of stupid stuff. Maybe someday I'll update proper.

Current Mood: better off dead
Current Music: New Years Day - You'll Only Make It Worse

My mom bought the Harry Potter book today at Sam's Club. I have no urge to read it. I guess I'm just not into it as much as I use to. The hype has washed out on me. Made me not even want to go near the library for at least a few weeks. Makes me feel a little out of the loop, but I don't mind.
Persona 3 comes out in 3 days. I need to ask mom for money for it. Since Jarid doesn't have a job yet and he owes me about $50. I can't wait. I've been looking forward to this since back in Feb. when it was suppose to come out. I'm just hoping that the delay means this is the Fes version.
The county fair is also in 3 days. Which kind of sucks, cause I was hoping for money from mom for that. Tho, small tidbit that made me giggle, Foreigner is gonna be playing at the fair on Saturday. All I could think of was the episode of Aqua Teen with the Foreigner belt. I told Jarid that we should go, just for kicks. Either that, or go to my brother's house, since he lives kinda close to the fair grounds. But I REALLY want to go to the fair this year. Not for the rides, but for the fun of walking around with Jarid. Last time I went to the fair while Jarid was here, I had to work there. It wasn't too bad, but it wasn't fun cause I only had like a 45 minute break, and that was no fun. I wanna go and walk around with Jarid, win a goldfish, or a stuffed animal. I tend to not be girlie too often, even tho I should, but this is just making me sound really girlie.
Other news, cats had their kittens. SevenSix kittens all together, and one of the cats isn't even really taking care of her kittens. >.<
Family reunion is coming up soon. I totally fear going. It's always just sitting around, eat, talk to Jay and Sherry, pray that Linz shows up and talk to her, and then the heat gets to me and I want to leave. I'm getting tempted to take dad's little DVD player and my playstation. Play Legend of Mana or something, anything but deal with a bunch of people that don't know me too well. When I was a kid it was fun because, well, I was a kid. Playing in the huge pine trees, before they cut off the bottom branches. And the baseball game we would play, and the old playground. I'm just not into it as much.
I've been taking on too many projects. I got back into working with RPG Maker XP, working on a zombie RPG. I'm probably gonna take years to finish since I'm making everything myself. All the battler images will be dolls, and I'm gonna have to make my own tilesets as well.
As an ender to this post, I'd like to inform all that my mother is going in for knee surgery on the 26th of this month. Wish her well :)

So, my aunt Bev died on Friday. My Da's family is getting smaller and smaller. She apparently died from a heart attack. This means that the remaining sibling that my Da has is Judy, and Judy is a mother fuckin' piece of work. She actually asked my Da if it was okay to cash Bev's Social Security check and keep the money.
Well, other then my family death, I've gotten back into PSO. Playing on the Schthack server. So if anyone else plays, or wants to play, let me know, or you can find me online. I play as either Cola, Garren-tan, or Nadeshiko. I also have another character named Coffy, but I only play her when Jarid is playing a certain character. I play mostly on the Chinese servers, as they sometimes have the least amount of people. So if you see me online, say Hi. ^^
In other news, I'm working on a hack of pokemon with Jarid. I don't want to give too much away, and I know three people on my friends list knows about the hack, and I want to keep it hush-hush until we get a demo out. I will say that it's a hack of Leaf Green, and it involves alot of custom sprite work. :p
And this has been your rare update from Sammi. Back to you Bob!

So, new doll. It's my version of Alice and the Cheshire Cat. It was made for a contest entry at PunkieMunkie's Contest site. Everyone was going the basic "blond girl in blue" deal, so I wanted to be....different. As we all know, I'm very different. heh Base is by Orange-Crux.
Anyway, other news, Finally, after years of not wanting to pay $20 in late fees, I got a new library card. Yaaaay! Now I don't have to borrow my brother's card. Anyway, Jarid had been wanting to get a library card, and I really wanted to look for a book. So we went over to the library, got our cards, and I remembered why I loved the library so much. In High school(at the charter school) we use to use the library for big research projects. Spending like, two hours a day just sitting in the big comfy chairs reading. We also use to do study sessions at the library. Just sitting there, reading a book with friends was always nice. And now that I have a card, I might find myself at the library when Jarid starts working. If he gets days hours anyway.
More news, my brother, who owns four cats and one dog, decided they wanted another dog. So they got a little Papillon dog, and they named him Dexter. He is THE cutest little dog, and I can't believe he was at the pet store for a month and no one took him. He's the sweetest little puppy, and loves sitting in laps. I told my brother that I was gonna steal him. heh
Also, I'm researching PC tablets, because I'm thinking about trying to buy one this year. Is there anyone that owns one or has owned one or several, and knows what type to get? I want to get the best quality, but it can't be too pricey.

Current Mood: sick

I just had this total "Fuckin' A!" Moment. There's this program I've been searching for since I heard it existed, "Shooter Maker 95" A program for making horizontal and vertical shooter games. I just love those games, and hell, Always wanted to make one for myself. I looked for it and found some links(broken of course), and it's apparently hard to find now. My hopes of finding it went on the back burner. That was like, two months ago. So, I decided to mess with RPG Maker again, started off with XP(because it's installed on my computer) and then decided to mess with 2003. I found 2003 was a little more interesting for the pure and simple fact that there's WAY more info on it and a lot of resources for it. So I'm desperately seeking templates for battle animations when searching around on one page I find another link for Shooter Maker 95. I didn't even think about getting my hopes up when I clicked the link, cause there was a 75% chance that it would lead me to a 404 page or something. Amazingly enough, it wasn't broken! Yay! Motherfucker's are messing with me so much! So yeah, stupid annoying fates! Giving me something I want when I really don't want it anymore. >.<
Other news, Jarid ordered a DS flash card. So, I'm open to suggestions on DS games that you guys think that I ABSOLUTELY must try. Or ones that I should avoid like the plague. And Matt, I don't care what you say, I AM going to try Lost in Blue :p

Current Mood: annoyed

Christmas was almost awesome. We went to John's house, but like, Jay wasn't there, and it was all football, so I passed out and started feeling sick before we started eating, so we went home early and I passed out on Jarid's bed. Woke up and played some Zelda. I got $400 from family, Best Buy Gift Card from my brother, and a $40 Wal-mart gift card from Jarid's Uncle, so we went out shopping, hoping to get Guitar Hero 2(that Freedom V controller likes to cut out alot) but there wasn't any there. So I got a Tsunami Bomb CD(<3<3<3), a Zelda Guide(not the uber one), and a 2 gig flash drive for like $35(a 1 gig one was like $40, ahahahaha) and Jarid got Voltron boxsets 1 and 2 in the tins, and Sega Classics. Then we went to wal-mart, got a GoldenTee plug and play, some Tamagotchi stuff, a plug and play adaptor, A pixie gigapet, a Wiimote glove, and
this pool cue.
Then we went to Target and I got a puzzle for my brother(Mario Tennis, since he got me and Jarid puzzles, I got Super Princess Peach and Jarid got Mario Party), a deck of Pink playing cards, the Zelda sword and sheild replica with soundtrack, and a new wallet. Then we went to GameStop, we got a DS game case, Trauma Center Second opinion, a Wiimote, 2000 Wii points, and I also preordered Pheonix Wright JFA. We kept the guy so busy that we got a copy of Scurge Hive for free. DS version too, so $30 saved! *LOL* So I have some money left over to put in the bank for my Preorders(I also POed Persona 3 earlier this month at the Game Crazy.), so I did pretty good and had like, $272 left over. Pretty good considering we went to four different places.

EDIT: Oh yeah, on the way out of the mall, some guy "attacked" me with sales pitches about nail buffers, I already have like five of them, but he talked me into buying some grape scented lotion.
