I hope you never look back, but ya never forget all the ones who love you, in the place you left. I hope you always forgive, and you never regret and you help somebody every chance you get. Oh, you find God’s grace, in every mistake and you always give more than you take.

I feel as if I’ve been very productive today. I finished the stamp packs that I needed to do for Pops, redid the staff responsibilities on Ecstasy, finished my PayU2Blog assignments, took my 365 Days Project picture, and now I am sitting down to do my blog of the day. I have feel quite accomplished internet wise. Tomorrow I plan on doing some things around the house and hopefully I’ll get stuff taken care of as well. Let’s see though– I say that now, but I get really lazy after work and don’t want to move an inch. Lol. I know I’m bad. 
In other news, I finally successfully downloaded Aion and I am so excited for the open beta week their are having. All I have to say is I was sold when I saw the wings. LMAO. I can fly and fight? Oh yes, it’s over. I think I might lose my life to it, especially since I can customize every little detail, which is just so fucking awesome. 
What’s worse is now I have gotten Robby interested in it, so we’ll probably be our geekish selves and play hardcore from the 6th to the 13th until they launch it on the 22nd. I’m so excited it’s not even funny. 
I still have quite a few things left to complete on Ecstasy but my list is getting shorter which makes me happy! For awhile there it seemed never ending! I do have some amazing staff members helping out and for that I’m grateful. Tomorrow I play on completing my homework that’s due on Sunday and try and finish what’s due the following week as well so I don’t have to worry about it which means more time for gaming! Words can not express how much excitement I hold for this new game. It’s going to be fucking awesome. 
Well, I’m off to read a bit before bed since I have to work tomorrow (oh joy) but tomorrow is yet another day!

I don’t want to go on living being so afraid of showing someone else my imperfection. Even though my feet are trembling and every word I say comes stumbling, I will bare it all. Watch me unfold.

Today has been very, very productive day. Finally after months, Ecstasy has released the long awaited stamp collection! I spent the majority of the day finishing up the sets that were left and then finished up by getting the information/rules threads up. It was very tiring but I’m really excited about it! It think it’s going to be awesome and really encourage our members to be active! It’s going to be very time consuming and a lot of work, but I’m glad that I have some great staff members to help out with it.
Due to the excessive work that’s been going on with the forums, my carpal tunnel has flared up after nearly 2 years of being just fine and has resulted in my needing to take Ibuprofen to assist with the swelling as well as wearing my wrist brace which itself is a pain in the ass because I can’t really do much with it on. It’s frustrating, but sadly necessary. I know this is a fairly short entry, however my brain is pretty much fried due to today’s productivity so I leave you with my 365 Days Project picture. Enjoy!

The beginning, in the first weeks of class she did everything to try and fit in but the others they couldn’t seem to get past all the things that mismatched on the surface and she would close her eyes when they left and she fell down the stairs; and the more that they joked; and the more that they screamed, she retreated to where she is now.

It seems to day is a first for everything or perhaps just the start of something that will encompass the reawakening of a creative soul that’s been dead for too long. I suppose as the month progresses we shall see. Today marks the first day of Ecstasy MB’s blog-a-thon in which I will attempt and hopefully succeed in blogging for 30 consecutive days. Along with that I have restarted my 365 Days Project, which I had wanted to but couldn’t bring myself to restart. I suppose it’s time to stick to my guns and follow this through– at least now I have the support system to back me.
When I last left you I had mentioned several goals that I wanted to accomplish when I returned. While admittedly some of them I did not complete, I am proud to say that I was able to complete three of the five items– which isn’t stellar but it’s still something. I’m proud of myself to say the least and I hope that my renewed vigor and determination will lend me the strength I need to successfully complete one 365 Days Project and Project: Blog. I suspect that I will have moments in which I don’t want to attempt anything, but this time around I am going to push myself, regardless of how lazy or distracted I may be.
School has recommenced once more and I hope that my 2 week hiatus will grant me the motivation I had lacked in my previous class. I’m determined to complete each assignment on time and attempt to actually read the material instead of skimming or seeking out the information I needed which is what I have been doing. I have a lot of people behind me to keep me motivated so I hope with their help I’ll be capability of accomplishing what I could not before.
In addition I have decided to branch out from World of Warcraft, though I suspect I will recommence playing, given then new expansion pack due out, and have decided to try Aion. I wasn’t able to try the beta as they did not have the option to play this weekend, but it will be open this weekend and I have pre-ordered the game so I’ll have a month and a week of play time to decide if I want to continue. Thus far every person I have spoken to who has tried it and plays WoW says I will love it, but I’m a bit skeptical. I guess I shall have to see. I do know that it will be nice to have some games to switch between instead of being completely burnt out by WoW. When I’ve tried the game I will make a point to give some insight into it and also assess if it’s a game that a WoW player would be interested in trying.
I leave you all again with not only the start of my 365 Days Project image, but also the goals I have set for myself. Perhaps this will keep me motivated to continue with the projects and assignments I have ahead.
Goals:
- Think ahead for each 365 Days Project so I’m not stumped as to what my next picture will be
- Create a list of things you need to finish, prioritizing what should be completed first
- Read the materials required of you for school and complete all assignments due in the beginning of the week
- Comment on at least 3 blogs each day
