Rorschach's Journal - 08-24-2010 - August stopgap edition
STUFFS!!
No particular stuff to write about other than I did finally, finally get stuff out, yay! One person already got their package and told me about it...funny thing is when I find out someone got their box, I feel just as stoked as they sound!
The loot! All boxed up...and shipped the next day! That was last week so y'all should be receiving presents soon... And for the two people who had no piles, I sent you a quick WISHLIST item.
The empty cubby holes! I cleared out the top two rows of my best shelves (used to be full of binders of hockey cards, lol) and made a section for each member of the GGS. Some are people here on SG, some are girls I know in real life. Only one person still has a couple books because I'm not able to send to right now and I think that's going to change really soon. At least three of these will be replaced...at least one spot is "spoken for" and that current pile of laniards (Dexter TV show) is the "empty spot" for stuff I want to give away but don't know who yet. (Ignore the flashlight and the MTG USB bracelet, they're just sitting there because the shelf space was convenient).
The funny thing is I'm using real first names there but because everyone here on SG uses a handle and a bunch of the names are RL people, I can "disguise" which spot belongs to whom by using the real name...ironic! Only the people who I ship to will know that's their spot and right now they're nearly all empty so no clues by trying to resolve what they like with who it is, lol. By the way, the order of placement is in the chronological order of who I met first. Not sure why but my brain organizes things like that. But when I re-org off all of the people who I don't have addresses for, I'm going to try to add some back...I think I'll be down to 9 so I'll get a shelf back, hehe.
My Moods
When this song comes on in the car and I'm alone driving, it puts me fully into tears. Yet another Cali song by KP. I adore her. Just goes to show how much I really need someone here to share time with. I don't know...I feel really down or at least I should be. But somehow I'm keeping my head high even though I sense that icy finger of loneliness about to touch me, to freeze me in my tracks, to shut me down and make me wish I was not feeling anything... Yet despite all of this, I'm slowly, slowly getting my energy back. Just a tiny bit at a time and each time I do, I get more rebellious against the weights that pull me down.
This weekend for sure. I'll have my profile finished and uploaded, and with pics. We'll go from there. And I finally launched the beginning of my new web business venture. It's nice that multiple people I know want to partner up with me out here. We'll be selling an odd triple combination of hockey cards, some other cards (probably anime collectible trading cards right now like Weib Krauz when it comes to the US) and of course Magic The Gathering. I just want something to bring me revenue without working a 9 to 6 job, even though my job pays real well for me. And then I can start my real venture, which is a certain type of website...it's top secret for now...if you're curious you can msg me on SG...it's not a porn site or anything, hehe.
So on one hand, I'm a bit sad and that makes me a tiny bit bitter but at the same time through my own exertions I'm making things happen. But it all starts with support. (Thank you M <3)
Magic and M11
I love this new M11 set. I think it's way better than M10. Ever since it came out, I've been on a drafting and limited binge, playing sealed deck...starting at Otakon of all places haha. Of the last eight limited tournaments, four or more people (they never exceed ten and eight is the preferred configuration), and I've won every single one except one where I placed 3rd out of 10, losing to someone with an awful deck but he drew his bomb Chandra. Come to think of it, I lost to another bad player with Chandra today too...so bad... Out of the last 35 matches I've won 31 and almost every single game I lost was due to mana screw or really bad flood when the other guy was rolling. So the pile of cards I need to go through that I either opened to play with in the tournament or won as prizes is sigificant right now.
Hey if any of you GGS'ers that I have addresses for, if you would like any playsets of commons and uncommons from M11, Alara block, Zendikar or Worldwake, I have a SHITLOAD of all of them. I would love to give them away. Seriously. I have enough cards to burn your house down with!
So I'm having fun. I'm playing draft almost every chance I get. And I'm winning...and everyone can see that I'm building better decks and playing them better than anyone else in this LA area. It feels pretty decent but it's just one of those things...I know a lot of people would love to be good at what I'm doing so well at but to me it's yet another small thing that I'm thankful for but it's not one of the few big things I wish was right.
Thanks as always for reading!
