The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Well that was easier than expected.



For my teaching class I have to put in 15 hours at a school of my choice doing a whole mess of things. The hard part is supposed to be finding a teacher because most schools don't allow walk-in interviewers. Thankfully my grandpa somehow managed to convince the principle of a private school to allow me to spend the 15 hours there. On the down side it's a Catholic school so there is a reasonable chance I'll catch fire upon entering the building but over all this kicks ass! The hardest part of this teaching thing is out of the way! Now i just gotta learn how to treat 3rd degree burns....

I don't think Dead Frontier likes me very much.



I was out for a stroll through zombie hell in the north east section of the city. With the mutated fat-ass zombies and the mutated long-ass arms zombies and was having a field day with my sword. Went into my favorite looting spot which is this ginormous hotel with the highest leveled stuff near the top. I was doing my rounds in there, nothing major, then as i'm walking down a hallway i say "I hope one of those green zombies doesn't show up." Then not 2 steps later, a green long-armed zombie steps through the door and before i can even finish the phrase "ah fuck" a mini army of zombies barrels into the room from behind me. I survived all of 3 seconds. Of course it was a suicide mission to begin with but i was kinda hoping to die a little later on. Like after i got a full inventory of expensive stuff to sell later. Damn game.

Beat Silent Hill Shattered Memories yet again. In record time too, only took me 5 hours, usually takes me 8.



I didn't do much different this time around so got the best ending and my usual psych evaluation, which is about 95% accurate for being "generalized". Which must mean i have a pretty stereotypical personality. I hate that coloring psych test part though. I mean, the coloring itself is kinda cool but why is it that every time i chose to make the car blue I get accused be being an alcoholic? I could understand if i mixed and matched colors or something but it was a solid blue!



Also managed to get through the alternate forest on my first try, but because of that the game decides to be a bitch and it ended up taking me 3 times to get through the alternate school and 2 for the hospital. Accidentally made a wrong turn and ended up doing a circle into all of the monsters. Just kinda barged through the door and " ... hi friends!"



I wish the layout changes depending on the personality. Would be kinda complicated but technically they did it in the other games. Silent Hill always changes shape to fit the person in it, so that would have been a cool feature since in this one the personality can change.



Can't wait till the new one comes out. Its back to the whole action/horror thing though, like Homecoming - which i'm probably gonna buy tomorrow. Gonna miss the awesomely written storyline of Shattered Memories but as long as they have a decent level of free roam through the town and creepy alternate dimension places then i''m good. Gonna miss the music though. Akira Yamaoka left so some crappy American artist is gonna fill the music slot. But i am still gonna be optimistic, save my criticism for when the game comes out next year. They did great with Homecoming so hopefully they'll do great with this one.

That art appreciation class kicked ass! My friend showed me this class audit thing where it shows every aspect of whats needed to get my A.A. degree and how close i am to meeting the requirements. That art appreciation class i took last semester - the one everyone thought less of me for taking because of how insanely easy it was - qualifies and completes3 out of the 12 sections. My elective credits, my international/intercultural class and my english class requirement for some odd reason.



So as of now i'm 1/2 way through me elective credits with a 4.0 GPA in the elective category. Finished my social sciences with a 3.5 GPA, finished the preternatural/intercultural with a 4.0. And am half way through all other sections with a 3.5 GPA in each.



Now all I need is for someone in my old speech class to die so i can get back in. Can't believe the college's fuck up cost me a class, dumb asses.

a couple things



-First, the financial aid crap was finally taken care of. Had to spend all day running around campus and then wait in a 3 hour line to find out that there's a $15 balance on my tuition payment. Something they could have said in the freakin email! Took me 5 minuets to go to the Fee Payments office and clear that up. This college really needs to do a better job at allocating employees. They've got 5 people at the Fee Payments office and only 2 at Financial Aid. The fee payments line is non existent while the financial aid line does loops around the building! But, as far as i can tell i won't have to wait in that damn line for the rest of the semester. I also finally found a time where i wish i had an I Pod.



-Secondly - video game related - Morrowind loves its music. Was playing Elder Scrolls 3 again and had the music off because i was in the campus library at the time and didn't wanna disturb the people who were actually doing work. But with the music off the game goes into retard mode. Sound effects stop working and AI goes to shit. I literally could not get past the "enter name" part of the character generation because the guard who comes to the cell got stuck on a wall. Then i mute it and turn music back on and everything works perfectly. Never seen something like that in my life.



-Lastly - still video game related - Playing MGO and I love when people run. There was this group i was playing with for a god 6 hours and they learned that unless they get the drop on me, i'm gonna win. I had a lot of situations where an enemy would round the corner, start to aim his gun and then dive back into cover just before i could get a shot off. I know it's obvious to go back into cover before being shot but that's not the usual mentality of the group i was with. They more often than not tried to shoot first so it was hilarious to see them go on the defensive.

Why is it that when ever I have a good feeling about something it gets utterly obliterated? I'm not saying that figuratively either, I'm serious!



This morning I woke up extra motivated and ready for college, then in my first class I'm informed in front of everyone that I was dropped from the class because of the lack of funding. Then after looking around I find out I'm dropped from ALL of my classes.



Called Blind Services and they sent me to the Disabilities office for the campus - which is a horribly run office. Then they sent me to the Financial Aid office after smart mouthing me for 20 minuets. Old ass secretary with an attitude was about to get herself hit.



After talking to the people in line - who for some reason also have the smart ass attitude - I learn that the office didn't have time to go through everyone's paperwork so they just dropped everyone they didn't look over. Yay professionalism!



So I had to re-register all my classes, 2 of which were closed so i don't know what the hell i'm gonna do there. And now all i can do is sit here and wait, and complain ... and wait.



I need a drink.

This could be very interesting or very very bad.

That film class with the vague class description's actually film production, not film history like i thought it was. So .... crap.



I guess if the equipment needed for this class isn't provided the financial aid will cover it ... right? Damn I hope so. Though it wouldn't ever cover a flash drive so ... crap .... again.



*Damn it. The class i actually want doesn't have any good times, they all conflict with my other classes so it looks like i'm gonna have to bite the bullet on this one. I looked through the course syllabus though and it didn't mention any additional materials aside from the book and a few tapes which i saw in the campus store so i'm good equipment wise. Now I just have to be creative .... can sociopaths be creative? Guess we'll find out!

S ranked Son of Sparda mode on Devil May Cry. Mission 18 took freakin forever. Then on the last go-around i somehow go 4,000 style points just from whooping one of the elite Angel's ass and knew it was in the bag at that point.

Now I'm gonna work on Human mode and S complete/S rank that and hopefully by then I'll have gotten all of the items in game and can focus my full attention on Dante Must Die mode. I honestly never expected to get this far so moral's skyrocketing.

I fucking love my semester schedule!

Got 1 class on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and the Tuesday and Thursdays classes have an hour gap in between. They're not easy classes mind you, economics, teaching, speech and well ... ok film is easy but they're spaced out perfectly for a "no stress" semester. President's list here I come baby!!!

for some reason my dogs are extremely hyper at 4am. Got woken up because they actually jumped on me. Now they're running all over the house like freakin crazy, would be hilarious if i wasn't so tired.

Found some old visual right up papers today while digging through some boxes, kinda an interesting read but the damn inconsistency with the vision bugs me.



For most of my life i've been told i have 20/200 vision, then all of a sudden it turns into 20/80 vision out of the blue. Then with these papers i found today, one says i have 20/200 vision and the other says 20/80. They were both written up during my eleventh grade year of high school by 2 departments of DBS. Make up your mind people , which is it!?



I think it's kinda funny though that my vision barely changes with the "best visual aid device" they provided for me. The 20/80 changed to 20/70 with the best aid - which was some kinda special glasses if i remember right.

More DMC progress! Made Son of Sparta mode my bitch, a bitch with a nasty attitude but a bitch none the less. Didn't get an S rank on all of 2 missions. Mission 5 for some odd reason and mission 18. Both are As but that doesn't get me the achievement.



I think 18 is sadly beyond my abilities. I got an S rank on time, an S rank on orbs, a B on style and a no item bonus and still didn't get an S overall, which confuses the hell out of me because that's normally a recipe for awesomeness.



Sanctus tough ... ouch, just ouch. S ranked that mission on the second try. First one ??I got an A because he kept shooting fireballs or attempting to "sentence me to death" which are attacks where you can't get close to him and time ended up going past the S rank mark. Second time i just fucked him up so freakin bad. And managed to grab his sword when he starts charging you, which was the finishing move, and an awesome finishing move it was.



After that i went to DMD mode, but the last time i played i only got to mission 6. From the looks of it i could have completed it but dad wanted me to go to the old house to help move in the middle of the mission. Won't be back at the house till Thursday.



Kind of a funny moment though in the Game Room with the die. For people who haven't played DMC 4, you gotta roll this die and different things happen depending on which space you land on.

Blue = money and healing items

Yellow = Skips ahead of the board a few spaces.

White = Finish

=Red = spawns enemies, or on DMD mode, makes you fight a boss all over again.



I managed to get all the way across the board without ever landing on a red space and i was 5 spaces away from the white finish. I rolled a 6 and relaxed because i was in the clear. So it goes to the white space, pauses for a second, then moves 1 space back onto a red space. I blurted out "Oh crap!" as i got telephoned to fight this giant frog boss again.

Managed to S rank all of DMC 4's Devil Hunter difficulty yesterday. I know it's only normal difficulty but i made that game my bitch! Hardly anything could touch me and i was just destroying absolutely everything, it was awesome!

Been playing Devil May Cry 4 again and the second fight with Dante is the best boss fight i've ever played! Fast paced, high damage, sword/gun battling awesomeness!



The fight ended so freakin cool too. Playing on Son of Sparta difficulty. I did Nero's version of stinger - forget the name - Dante dashes to the left and does his stinger attack. I jump over it and use the devil bringer to get Dante into the air. He slashes down and i slash at him so our blades cancel out. When we hit the ground we both attack again, blades deflect and just before Dante can get his next attack in I turn on the DT and do the attack where Nero bats him into the ground. Got an S rank on the mission too despite a few rookie mistakes vs the elite angel SOBs, damn that was fucking fun!!! All of that happened in about 3 seconds too.

Decided to play a little Metal Gear online today and did a hell of a lot better than expected. Found out that if you switch the AK102 from full auto to semi auto its a lot more accurate, which is obvious if you think about it but still, works a lot better than the 3 round burst method i used to use. So with that new tactic I was as good a shot with the AK102 as i am with the MK 17 rifle, and i'm a freakin god when i do get the MK 17. Actually was able to take out snipers from afar with the rifles which is freakin hard to do.



Also more confident to lead a squad instead of following the lead of another player. And managed to make it to first place in a match which i haven't done in a long while. Got 17 kills and only died 3 times which kicked ass!



I was actually running out of ammo a lot which never happens. I usually die long before my ammunition reserves run out but i had to switch to a pistol several times because my rifle was dry.



And was using grenades a lot more as well. Making them ricochet off walls and stuff, managed to kill 4 enemy players on my own, 3 head shots and a well placed grenade, got the praise of my team which is always nice.

What's worse, an army of zombie or an army of extremely annoying old blind people?

I somehow managed to convince my family to take the dogs back early, which is amazing.



The original plan was for my mom to bring our 2 yorkies over to where grandpa and i live while her and my sister move into their new place. But they've only been here a day and a half and my grandpa's already gone insane.



-Yesterday he was freaking out about a stain on the carpet that he swore was dog piss when it had been there for a little over a month. Got in a huge argument about it and he threatened to sell the dog - even though he doesn't own the thing.



-Today he freaked out about the towel i use to dry the dogs' feet after letting them outside in the early morning or after it rains. All he said before they were brought here was to have a towel for them so they don't track stuff all over the house. But today i come to find out that e wanted me to use a "specific" towel because they're not "human beings" and are not allowed to use towels we use. Got in a half hour long argument over a damn towel which is retarded.



-Again today, which was the final straw was he actually kicked the youngest dog when he thought i wasn't in the room.



I called mu mother and sister and told them everything that had happened, and told them about grandpa trying to sell the dogs before they came down. He had a buyer for the youngest and was keeping it a secret, thank god for paper thin walls right?



So, i told my mom and sister, they kinda freaked out and yelled at dad. Guess since he's grandpa's son he could do something- which he couldn't so he got angry with no way to vent it so he and i got in a small argument. He thought i was making excuses to get rid of the dogs because i didn't want the responsibility but after i explained the above, and reminded him that college is starting soon and i won't be able to watch out for them for most of the day, he agreed with me and we're all speed-unpacking my mom's new place so we can get the dogs there as quickly as possible.



Also learned that my grandfather abused his pets when he was younger, which explains a lot.



I treat my dogs like part of the family so this ass hole's doing a real good job of getting on my bad side. People on my bad side tend to have really unhealthy accidents.



But, the dogs will be safe soon and everyone will be happy. I'm enjoying the time i got with them and keeping them in my room till they're ready to go. Not the most fun for them but it's better than a boot to the face.

Decided to play Devil May Cry 4 today to kill some time. Did that bloody palace thing as Dante and did "okay". I really didn't remember the controls so there was almost no fluidity at all in my movements but I did get all the way to Berial with 4 minuets to go before i got my ass handed to me.



Furthest i've gotten is to stage 33. The damn time limit always gets me, which really pisses me off. I hate that rushed feel that the time makes, just wanna do some bad ass combos with my sword and have fun, not rush for every 1/2 of a second.



But that aside it was a lot of fun. Pandora's box kicks so much ass! Just line everything up and BOOM!



If i can get better with the switching of the styles mid fight i could make the bloody palace my bitch but i'm still used to the 3rd game where you were stuck with a single style for a whole mission so i tend to stick with Trickster and when i do switch, it's kinda slow. Not used to moving my thumb onto the D-pad anymore, but that's what practice is for!



Speaking of 3, i miss 3. Wish to hell i didn't sell it. So much damn fun1 Remember on the collectors edition with those Vergil against Vergil fights i used to only use the weapons the boss did. So in the first fight i'd only use the katana, and the second only the katana and gauntlets. Made it kinda cool.

I feel strangely motivated today. Like i need to do something productive. Up until a couple of years ago i was constantly working on some kinda project. They all kinda failed - true, but i was still working toward a goal of some kind. Gotta get back into that. Best place for that is college, just an opportunity waiting to happen there. Think i'm actually gonna go to campus tomorrow. I'm not taking summer classes but maybe one of my friends could use some help. Or i could always just wonder and see if anything interesting is going good. Kinda excited actually, got high hopes for tomorrow, or today, since it's 4am and all.

Had a rather unpleasant conversation with my grandfather's christian friends today. Bastard said we were going to McDonalds for breakfast, ended up driving me to his church. ..... I don't think i'll be allowed to go back. hahaha



I don't understand how some religious people think the way they do.It's like all logic disappears in the presence of faith. All religion and prayer is, is one giant self-fulfilling prophecy.

Decided to continue that zombie game script i have in the "stories" section of the journal. Doubt I'll be able to do anything with it but i'd like to complete it for sentimental reasons. I'll be adding updating it in a few days if anyone's interested. Feedback whether good or bad would be appreciated.
