I've been doing more stuff (new stuff!) without thinking too much about it and even managed to ask a nice girl out on the past weekend and we kissed at the end. Now we're planning other dates on the next weekend. :D
It's the first time I actually feel better after my ex-girlfriend (whom I really loved) dumped me on last October after almost 3 years together.
I'm definitely feeling a lot more optimistic about everything now! ^_^

PS: Playing more new games and reading new books makes me happy s well! Knowledge is AWESOME! :D

Well my braces stopped hurting (as much) and I can eat food again(properly not just rolling it around with my tongue).

I do have to add that I am bit sad that I am left behind by the GTA V bandwagon due to no immediate PC release.

Well as of last monday...

I just finished a project that took me three sleepless days to finish, I contemplated suicide several times due to stress and even got to the point where I tied a belt to the overhead light, and I got elected as treasurer of a local Earth club against my will.

Good news: I finished with that shiz and now I have only two hopefully uneventful days left in the week, then I can get back to brain function.

I just had oral surgery today to remove a pesky wisdom tooth, and I just woke up after sleeping for ~7 hours after getting home. It's been an hour now, and, other than my sinuses being a No Man's Land worse than Death Valley due to poor air circulation in my room coupled with the dry sinuses from being on oxygen, I'm feeling pretty good. I'm pretty optimistic that my mouth will be healed up well enough to start eating more than just soft foods in a couple days rather than the week and a half it took last time I had a wisdom tooth removed. Hell, I can actually talk this time!

I'm so used to the stupid wisdom tooth, though, that closing my mouth all the way feels weird, and I have to force my jaw to cooperate. The wisdom tooth was about a 16th of an inch higher than my other molars, so it caused my jaw to slant. Doesn't sound like much, but it was. Gotta get used to an even bite plate, now.

Well today i probably failed my math exam and nearly got run over because i had the gall to try running across an empty road when the rain started crashing down. (Yield to pedestrians on the road you're turning onto, you dick!)

OT: Well now i'm looking at an early weekend with a friend's birthday party coming up on friday so that's nice. Since this week has been pretty much all exams and assignments i'm looking forward to actually getting some socializing and gaming done this weekend. Recently bought Diablo 3 for my console and i'm probably gonna nag my roommate to try the Co-op with me.

Other positive things: My Dragon Age: Origins wall art arrived today, and i recently acquired Luigi's Mansion 2 for my dusty 3DS.

I get to live in a world where I can wake up, turn on my computer, open my browser, and talk to all of you lovely people from all corners of the Earth.

Marvelous.

I actually found the new season of Korra to be very promising. And I can't wait to see what they do with it from here. And Doug Walker, the Nostalgia Critic, and his brother seem to agree.

Pretty hard to feel optimistic on the day you find out your grandmother passed away. Um... my copies of Valkyria Chronicles and Persona 4 Arena arrived in the mail yesterday? That's good.

Hmm, something positive...
OH! On the last day of FanimeCon 2013 (Memorial Day), I helped a young lady pick up her costume supplies after her cart broke down in the elevator of the hotel we were checking out of, and she called me a sweetie and gave me her card. It just feels good to help people.

Well, for the past week: I tried all sorts of things to make my computer run faster (because I'm completely illiterate in that regard). After caving and asking an IT expert, it was revealed that several GB of RAM could be freed via the BIOS. I have no idea what he did, but the computer is running faster than a toddler at a tiger's tea party!

And I'm so happy that the keyboard comes with the exclamation mark! How fortunate is that?

We will one day be part of such a grand, immeasurable beauty. Even if we do not notice, we will be like unto stars themselves. Hurray!

I'm getting a job teaching music. I adore music. Hurray~

I'm halfway across the globe from all of my best friends and back in the middle of buttfuck nowhere, where I once called home, and all my old friends have forgotten about me. Its time for a fresh new start. Hurray!

I found out a new Terry Prachett book is coming out in a couple of months. Hurray!

One day, all life on the planet will be no more as we over zealously consume it's resources until there is nothing left but a barren husk of a world we once call home. Hurray!

Gravity is still working, there is an appropriate amount of oxygen in the atmosphere and I am the father of the most adorable little girl in existence.

I just got set up for an early weekend so that's pretty sweet. I'll also be getting a german shepherd puppy in 3 weeks wich I'm pretty stoked for.
I have 2 tips for you when you get that there dog. Train that dog with hand signals to sit, down, stay, come. Those, if the dog is ever taken into a shelter (the kill kind of shelter), will save its life. Secondly, socialize that dog with every-damned-thing that it comes into contact with. That way, you can get it so it doesn't go totally apeshit at the end of a leash when another dog walks by. Trust me, I own an Akita, and we've done all this already. He'll be a therapy dog when I'm finished with him.

I'm doing awesome in college! I just got Batman Arkham City! I beat System Shock 2! I have an awesome everything! I'm in a kickass D&D game! I found an optimism thread on the escapist, full of the biggest downers ive ever seen! All in all, everything is good. Then again I'm optimistic all the time. Then again I suppose it doesn't hurt I dont have a lot to complain about. Uuuuh, there's a weird leak in the passenger seat of my car...?....!

Well, after I completed my morning routine, I looked in the mirror.

There's really not much more for me to say, but I did finish writing something I've been working on for a while now, so that's good, too.

The weather was perfect today, so I got to drive around town with a good friend of mine, with the windows rolled down and the radio blasting some solid country music! I also got my Affidavit of Defferal notarized today, so now I don't have to attend jury duty, OR go to jail!

You fucking lucky bastard.

Uh, I got off work earlier than I usually do but still made close to my nightly quota in tips? That's pretty nice.
