My Bloody Valentine!
Mwaaahaaahaaaa!!! I’ll say no more on the subject, I promise! (Thanks to Cass for my “anti-valentine!”) Anyways, in displaying my fashionably sardonic sentiments I’m recalling this day last year. Sarv, Kellie and I got up all uber-emo for our trip to a Japanese highschool. Somewhere I still have the “Valentines Sux!” puri-kura we took… the 3 of us along with Mike and Marcus! Good times.
It’s a big day for Calex. Somewhere over the course of the next 24 hours he’s got his JET interview and I’m wishing him all the best! Good luck Calex! I’m sure everyone who doesn’t already know is just dying to hear about how my interview went…! Edge of the seat stuff, no? (No!) It was a tense day to say the least. That (Thursday) morning we had massive snowfall over most parts of the country, interfering with transport across the land. Luckily, my getting to London and the Japanese Embassy went off without a hitch. As for the actual interview…… to be honest, I really don’t wanna talk about it anymore. I have horrible feelings everytime I think about it. I’m doubting myself in every respect and…. Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Yeah! definitely don’t wanna talk about it anymore….Rapid subject change! Its about time I updated on our fencing league progress, I s’pose. The BUSA matches are all finished and our last 3 matches went, well, crap! We lost to Manchester again, but also to Lancaster (whom we had to finish a previously unfinished contest with) and to Keele (though I wasn’t there for the Keele match so I’m washing my hands of that one!) The good news, however, is that we won our “Lancashire Cup” match against Lancaster (the points ended on 117-117. We won based on our winning both Foil and Epee, where they won Sabre!) and our previous strong performances before Christmas gave us sufficient enough a lead that we have finished 2nd, behind Manchester and their Olympic Squad types! Our being 2nd means we may have play-offs against the 2nd place teams from other regional leagues for a chance at promotion. Still, I haven’t been able to commit to fencing this year, what with all the work! It’d be cool to have some more contests but I got bigger fish to fry right now! Dissertation fish. Japanese presentation and exams fish.
In light of certain Resident Evil 4 related events, I am adding a new verb to the English language, “to Krauser”…
Krauser krAU zuhr transitive verb
1. to Krauser (to succeed, to dominate, to defeat)eg. “I totally Krauser’d that Kanji test!”
2. to be Krauser’d (to be defeated, dominated, surpassed)
eg. “Balex’s highscore on “Resident Evil 4: Mercenaries” was totally Krauser’d by Dave!”
I got nothing more really. I say “Bonne Chance” to Calex for his interview! (That link is a hint, people!) Both of us have a long wait now til April, when we find out. I don’t even wanna think about it….
Catchya later! “This is me with the words on the tip of my tongue, and my eye on the scope down the barrel of a gun…”

I have no comments, but you’d get mad at me if I visited and didn’t say anything.
Meh.
The real Krowser is from fatal Fury..
“You must be faster, Terry…”
Thanks for the cheering!
I DID get your message Dave!:) I wish you all the best and hope that things work out with the interview and such–BUT–even if that did not come through–it may be just a tiny consolation that you would get to meet ME in maybe a year or two in England. Meh. Maybe? I know I’m nothing as special as Japan–or Matt and Dani–or well, a lot of things that are much more wonderful than meeting me–but I think we could have some fun times:). Whatever happens, I believe that good will come of it:). Hang in there:).
Much Love,
Bethany
Oh, and I just noticed the DC song you are listening to–I LOVE that song!!
Well, you can’t change the result of the interview, so just let it be and have fun/study/train etc. in the meantime. Also, I like your new word… >_<”
DAVE! People love you! Can you tell? You are blessed indeed….even if you don’t feel it at times. …and I agree with Sarven.
Hold on, hold on. People are going to think that there’s only one high score, and that is owned by Dave. NOT THE CASE! I hold three of the four high scores, as there are four areas in which this game can be played. My high scores are held with the man who is the epitome of cool; HUNK.
You can keep your Robin-Hood-wannabe mutant, Dave. Umbrella Secret Service ftw.
i’m sure you krauser’d the interview dave. no worries. i’m sure calex will as well. i look forward to seeing you both over here in 6 months!
did you take that pic on your webcam??
thanks for the input Dave:). I AM familiar with the MBTI (I took several psychology classes in college, plus Human Services and Counseling was half of my double major;). I took the MBTI probably at least 3 times for different classes. I am an INFJ:). I do understand how the personality types affect both genders of course, but it does seem to me that in general guys tend to not express emotion as much because society often views that as “weakness”. Both my ex-b/f and my current b/f are very sensitive guys–and honestly, that is something that is difficult for me to handle (don’t ask me how I ended up paired up like this because I don’t know!). I am used to guys that are kind and caring, and “gentlemanly” but who, when it comes to emotions such as sadness kind of have a “hard outer shell” I suppose you could say. It’s not that they don’t FEEL those emotions of course, they just rarely express them in ways like crying. I don’t think that guys being sensitive is a BAD thing at all–it’s just something I’m not used to. In a relationship it is difficult for me, because, while I can understand pain very well, being quite sensitive myself, it would often be more helpful to me to have someone who is caring, but not quite so easily hurt themselves. I think that is where Matt and Dani are practically a perfect pairing–because while Dani is quite sensitive (as am I) Matt helps her to see the rational side of things when her mind might not naturally take her in that direction because her heart takes over. I often wonder if that is the TYPE of person that I need to be with–I suppose in time I will see. Dani has told me that I am like a mirror to her–because she and I are alike in so many ways–so it makes sense to me that I would probably fair best with a more rational person when it comes to romance. As I said, in time I suppose I’ll see. Anyway, once again, thanks for your input!
Much Love,
Bethany
soooooo sorry for my “textbook” comment, but i left it this morning right before leaving for work. didn’t exactly have time to write a book, so shut yer face, punk! by the way, i fixed the xanga troubles.
praying for you! Well, things happens when it should happen in your life, so dont worry, just take it easy. you are still VERY YOUNG.
i dig the new profile picture. you should draw several more…and put them next to each other…..and add some text….and other characters….and call it…a comic!
Did it really go that badly? I’m sorry! Maybe it’s all just in your head and you did brilliantly.
3 of the 4 valentines I was given were “anti” I love them! It makes the whole thing loads better. also is the subject a reference to the GC song?
let us reshape the meaning of the day. there is NOTHING wrong the idea of setting aside a day to honor loving people. i think one’s whole life should be devoted to it! after all, God is LOVE! the couples have traditionally claimed it….but why not just start the trend of acknowledging all those we love on that day. lots of people already do.
Yeh I’d noticed the whole subject/song thing but there’s also a band called my bloody valentine so i was just checking.
You’re prolly right. while roses and chocolate are nice[especially the chocolate='p] it devalues love. Love cannot be expressed with material things and love also exists beyond romance. I think that the people who give out ”anti-”s are the ones that really love you because they know you best and can have a laugh with you over the whole thing.
I looked forever before i found the right background. when i saw that one it just popped and i had to have it >= } lol. thanx
I am an idiot-bot who left a nonsensical comment that has since been edited.
