November 23, 2012 - What Is Off

I'm going to have the bulk of this personal blog below a little page break. This whole thing is spurred on by conversation on twitter. Some of the things said here are going to cause problems for people. But I feel this all needs to come out. I shouldn't have to put a disclaimer, so I won't. This shit hurts to write and I know not a single person will care. But that's fine with me right now. I just felt this all needed to be said... So here it goes.

October 15, 2012 - Everything Wrong Is Wrong With Me

This is more for the people who have expressed concern over my recent tweet about crying an things being worse than I thought they were. But maybe I also just need to get this out. I don't even know...  Anyway... I'm hoping to shed some light on the things that happened not to long ago in my car... In the parking lot of Jesse's work...

October 07, 2012 - Delicious Pulled Pork

Now, this is going to be a first here. I'm going to use a little break after this little thing up here for the recipe. Mostly because it's fairly long and I plan on adding some notes of my own. These notes will be in italics and bulleted. The recipe is from the Company's Coming 5-Ingredient Slow Cooker Recipes book (Barbecued Pulled Pork page 103) and I recommend you buy the book if you need quick, cheap recipes for your own slow cooker.

I'm posting this one because, so far, it's my favourite one from the book and it will last you a while if you are only feeding yourself!

Enjoy!

September 02, 2012 - What is love to you?

As usual, all of my writing is based on real life. Even my blogs are based on real life. This one... Well... I know I did a little thing before somewhere on love. This time, it's different. Very different. This time, it's about what love is to a person.

I start this with a question to you all. What is love to you?

Is it loving someone as a friend? A lover? The person you want to spend the rest of your life with? Or is it something more complicated?

A friend was recently told not to compare the love he felt to the love someone else felt. While it isn't fair to compare, this person was wrong about how he was feeling love. He is young, yes, but that doesn't diminish his feelings. What this friend of mine feels may not have been the same as what you felt or what I feel with my fiance, it doesn't mean the feelings aren't there.

What he feels is different. The love he feels is young and innocent. The love you feel is different. The love I feel is different. We all feel love differently.

You can't compare the love of one person to the love another. And this doesn't only apply to love. This applies to everything.

But for now... Back to the reason for this.

What is love to you?

May 12, 2012 - It's Been A While

It really has been a while since I've written anything. I think I'm going to try and remedy that this weekend. When I say this weekend... my weekends are just... weird. Either way, I've discovered I need to relax more. Maybe trying to write more would help... Like, forcing myself to actually write. It will probably end up being crap, but it will be something.

If I can get myself into the habit of writing every day, maybe there will be some quality stuff after a while. One can always hope.

I'm also going to try and air some things out here on this blog. I can't make promises that it will be good stuff, but it will be thoughts without naming names. Names are for my 'diary' which has also gone unused. We shall see what happens, though. Good things or bad things could happen. It's all fluid and subjective.

Until next time, lovies <3

May 02, 2012 - Character Bio

Cause this doesn't really fit anywhere else and I want to be able to find it later, I'm posting it here. This is my character bio for Gunnery Chief Celeste Tyn of the Alliance Navy. It may or may not end up being very long, but the whole thing will be after the break. It is subject to minor updates depending on what is happening in the Twitterverse.
The RP Twitter account is  @CeletseTyn  for those that want to follow.

April 13, 2012 - Luck

You know, 13 has always been my favourite number. People have always said it's unlucky. I don't believe them. I think luck is subjective, like pain. If you think something bad is going to happen and you stress over it, you are going have something bad happen. Alternatively, when you think nothing bad can happen, something bad will happen.

Luck is something no one can really control. But I think there are ways to try and augment it. Not will little meaningless charms. With things that actually have real meaning. If you get good luck charms and don't believe in the power they may or may not hold... They are useless. The person puts the power in the charm. You give yourself these chances.

Just remember that you make luck happen. Some magic charm isn't going to make it happen for you.

April 12, 2012 - Role Playing

It's been a long time since I've done a proper role play. Like, a LONG time. Last time was a brief thing that didn't last very long. I don't count that.

Maybe it was because I just wasn't into it. Maybe it was there was no one I wanted to role play with... But I think... I think I'm ready to Role Play again. I think it's finally time to get back into the swing of things!

I might need more time to get the hang of a role play setting again. The ones I used to do were different. Full text with speaking in quotations. But role playing like that is easy. You have the characters to do it. When you have a limited number of characters, it takes a certain amount of skill. You need to pick your words and actions carefully. It may not be flowery and full of detail, but you can put more behind it. It's a faster pace.

Maybe that's what I need in my life. Something more fast paced to get me going.


I should go.

April 11, 2012 - Online vs Offline

There have been times when people tell me to let go of the internet, go out, and make 'real' friends. Real friends... Like the people online I consider friends and family aren't real. Like they are programs generated by the internet to make me feel like I have friends...

This is where those people are wrong. I would put my friends into the categories of Online and Offline. Sometimes they mix. Like when I move away from an Offline friend and they have to be Online until we can meet up next. Or when I'm able to meet up with an Online friend and we can be Offline for a while. The Offline may not last very long, but it doesn't mean that going back Online will make the friendship any less 'real' than it was Offline.

This applies to the newest friends that I've made. They may be Online, but I would like to think we've been fast friends. It's been known to happen. The fact that we met with our words means it's not a shallow physical thing first. One of these new friends is going through a really rough patch. Just because they are Online doesn't mean I can't understand their pain or try and comfort them.

It just means I'm not their to give this person the hug I think they need. But that doesn't make it any less real of a friendship.

What makes a friendship real is how much both people care about each other. A Fake friend is one who is only there when -they- need something from you. They broke up with someone, someone killed their cat, they had a minor fender-bender and their mom/dad took the car away and need you to drive them around. But as soon as -you- need something... Where are they?

They are gone. You can't find them. Even if you can, they won't help you out.

That is what makes a friend 'real' or not. It's how much you are there for them and care about them.

To all my Online and Offline friends, I love you all equally.

Ans especially to my Online Friends, I hope to meet you all someday <3

April 5, 2012 - ME3 DLC

Well, BioWare announced today that they are releasing free DLC this summer to expand on the way ME3 ended. My only problem with the announcement is the fan reaction. I will explain why.

March 25, 2012 - Mass Effect Thoughts

Currently, I'm just finishing up my second play-through of Mass Effect 3 (Collector's Edition <3). I've been a minor voice for the Retake Mass Effect movement and Indoctrination Theory.

When I say minor voice, I mean I've used the hashtag #RetakeME3 a couple times. And Indoc-Theory... it's a nice idea for now, but we won't hear anything until April (I guessing PAX East).

But these... These are going to be my thoughts on the franchise so far as well as first impressions of the ending. Remember that this is just how I feel! Everyone feels differently about the games!!

FIRST!

This will be my first post of this blog. I don't think it's anything special. It's just a place to get things off my chest so other people can read it and maybe put in their own opinion. I'm not going to weigh this down with anything heavy. It's just going to be as is. Nothing big or spectacular. Maybe tomorrow I will post something productive. For now, it's just this.
