hello! yoshi

When I woke up this morning I found a request from my good friend Yoshi. He was suggesting an A Little Scary guest comic for Free For All Friday. How could I refuse?

So the other day my Dad and Sister were here for a visit. Desperate for means of entertainment I broke out the Wii. And by breaking it out I mean I turned it on.

My Dad then proceeded to beat me time and time again. After each win he would do a victory dance and then jump up and down exclaiming “AGAIN! AGAIN!” My hand to heaven that is the truth! Okay maybe not but he did win a lot.

So after they left I decided I needed to practice. After about 420948390242049 games I finally reached pro status in bowling.

Then I played one more game. And did less than great.

Quick as that the Wii people took away my pro status AND my brand new sparkly ball.

Wii people are mean.

Hello! This is Katie from Kat Scratch Fever.

So, work has been really slow and boring for the last week. Today me and Wesley brought our DS’s in and have been playing Mario Party across the DS wireless thing. So, we both got off calls and we’re playing and about 4 minutes later I hear a manager behind me go “Oh man, I wish I could sit in WRAP for 6 minutes playing games!” and I look at my phone and it hadn’t ended my call to put me back in available so I could eventually take the next call.

….. oops.

Today was my last. day. at. work.

YAY!

So to quote Tom Petty…

I’m Freeeeeeeee
Freeeee baaaaaalling…

…or something like that.

It’s Saturday here by cybr

As for my own updates across the web, I couldn’t find anyone else doing Free for all Friday, so no go on that one! Oops! I can’t be the only one in the blogosphere doing the FFAF am I?

Actually truth be told, I did manage to get a Faux-Friday Free for all Friday post in at Colin’s site.

Hi! This is cybrpunk from cybrpunk.com and A Little Scary. It’s not actually Friday where I’m at (it’s noon on Saturday) but I think it’s still Friday where Yoshi lives so this still counts!

Anyway, I just thought I’d pop by and waste space on Yoshi’s site for a change instead of my own site. It’s like doing graffiti on the side of someone’s house but without the fear of getting caught or the colors and spattered clothes and birds flying around and stuff like that. Exactly. I’m glad you’re following me on that one.

Well, that’s all I got. I’m just not feeling all the entertaining at the moment. It’s like someone’s vacuumed all the funny out of me today. I think it’s because I have to clean the litter box yet and I know it’s not going to be pleasant. Not that it ever is but you get the idea. And the little cat likes to “help out” meaning that as I scoop up the poops he likes to try and bat it out of the scooper with his little paws. He’s very helpful.

I thought I’d write here! Actually, I keep thinking of good things to write about but never actually write. It’s not writer’s block, I’m just a lazy ass. :(

I should get my blogging license taken away. But then what would the 5 people who read my blog do with the 3 seconds it takes to stop by and realize I haven’t said anything for days or weeks or months…?

I think I just have a case of the blogging blahs…

Go to bed and wake up at the weirdest times possible and you end up with your body going “it’s Saturday” and the calendar mocking you and flipping you off. Last night I had a meeting with an old friend of mine: wine.

Wine can ease the pain. Wine can make you happy. Wine can help you forget your problems. If used properly it can impress and if used improperly it can embarrass. I used to keep a close relationship with wine until a few months ago but I, being the stupid person that I am, decided to break up with it. We didn’t even say goodbye and I guess it’s been holding a grudge since then.

Last night it tempted me to drink and I obliged. After a couple of glasses the taste grew sweeter and I decided to go all the way. It seemed like a perfect time for a one-night-stand with it. I had been thinking about it for a while anyway and so I did. I drunk the whole bottle and it was great.

No, it was more than great; it was liberating! I breathed like a free man. I did not feel like I was tied up to a desk covered in books, notes and coursework. University seemed like miles away and all I had in front of me was a portal to a magical land called The Blogosphere.

So I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to all the people who received my comments on their blogs and my random e-mails although from what I understand they were entertaining. Also, apologies to my followers on Twitter; I hope I didn’t tweet too much for you. I tend to get very chatty when tipsy or drunk.

However, wine had it in for me. Only about an hour after the bottle was emptied the first hangover symptoms started to appear. You see, I have a fast metabolism and I get drunk quickly (if I drink enough or in this case only one bottle was enough since I hadn’t had alcohol in almost a month) but the problem with a fast metabolism is that you go past drunk and get a headache very quickly also. Wine got its revenge around 3 last night and I slowly started to crash not replying to your emails or comment responses.

I say all this because while there is no more wine left, there are beers. Even though beer is not as elegant as wine, I can see myself falling for its sweet-talk in a couple of hours. Yes, I think I’ll end up drowning my stress in alcohol again tonight. I hope I don’t bug you guys too much.

Yoshi, you were one of the lucky ones. I didn’t bug you. Or did I? I can’t remember any more.

This post was brought to you by Colin of therapy in the making.

This is girlrobot here making my first FFAF post! Yoshi is probably one of the most prolific commenters on my website and I really appreciate it. Since I do a ‘Friday Links’ post on my website every friday, I thought I would do a special Friday Links post for Yoshi! Basically, these are just links I found interesting and worthwhile to read. Hope you enjoy.
