Oh, ok. I mean I'm not really fond of them feeding on whales when they existed because I consider them the gentle giants of the ocean that protect even creatures of another species at times. So, the idea of a Megalodon eating a whale makes me not want it to still be around as much as I did before. ;.; Seriously though, I wish I knew what goes on in a shark's mind when they see things like license plates or tires and decide to try to eat them. o.0 lol Tires for dinner. XD They're interesting animals, that's for sure. Is it just because of the electromagnetism of things like that though and that they're just that hungry to chomp down a tire when none of its regular food is around? Holy crap though, eating a bomb whole? o.o Sharks sure are hungry fellas. Kind of makes me glad I can't swim knowing they're that hungry. lol I'm joking of course, but not about how hungry they must be to eat those things. I'd love to read a shark's mind just out of curiosity, but I don't think that will ever really happen with anyone. Even so... I'm still really curious what they think about when they're just cruising around the vast, deep ocean. When they're not hunting, that is. Dude, that's frickin awesome!!!! So no matter what they never bite off more than they can chew? I mean, they don't really chew though as much as rip and shred, but I wish I had shark teeth. An infinite supply of teeth always growing. I might be scary looking to people though if I did... it'd be totally worth it though to have a virtually endless supply of razor sharp, serrated teeth. I didn't know they ate plants, too. That's interesting to find out. I inaccurately assumed they just ate something every day though like seals, so, assuming things is never a good idea. x.x It sucks that I didn't know that about them, but I'm pretty happy to find out now. Thank you, @Sakura, for teaching me new information about my favorite marine animal~ ^^ ^^ I'm even more in awe of them than I was before tbh after learning those things. I wish I could fast for 15 months. It'd probably save a decent chunk of the folks' funds. ^^;

I'd try some medicine if it was chocolate flavored, even if the medicine didn't help with anything. lol Chocolate is always tasty. ^^

Som, are you ok? Do you mean metaphorically or someone was actually hurting you? Today I slept on and off more or less. Kind of grabbing naps throughout the day at different times. Felt lonely really quick after the folks left for yet another appointment as well as other errands they didn't say they were going to do which would make them take longer to get home. So, I eventually couldn't even enjoy my games anymore and just tried to sleep, but that didn't work because all I did was lay on my bed wanting to be asleep as opposed to actually sleeping, but I didn't feel like doing anything. Maybe 10 minutes of me laying there and mom came through the door. I don't know why I don't like to be by myself for so long. It doesn't sound like it's normal. Oh, but when I did try to sleep at 10am I ended up waking up at 5pm so at least I did get some sleep today. lol I slept in a lot later than I wanted to, but I guess it's not a big deal since I don't really go anywhere. Played some Tales of Vesperia and figured some new things out in it. Fed our cat. Kind of talked to the voices since it seemed like that was all I felt like doing since it was just me and the cat at home. As long as I don't yell or anything there shouldn't be any problem. That's not to say I've never yelled when home alone though. lol I'm surprised no one's called the cops from how much I used to yell back when I was doing it to yell at the voices. I don't know why, it doesn't help, sometimes they even laugh at me, so I don't know why I bother yelling at the voices. It's probably what they want anyway. I snacked around, drank a bunch of powder mix drinks, and impatiently waited for mom to come home pretty much the moment she left. ;.;

That's pretty sweet. I haven't been a part of a community like that in any of the browser games I've played tbh. Although none of them really caught my attention long enough for me to give up playing things like my PS3 or my Switch. ^^; I want to play online browser games, too, but games on the Switch and PS3 are calling out to me much louder. lol I'm happy that you have the friends you have from Runescape. Hey, @Sakura, do you have other friends from that long ago from Runescape, too? Yeah though, dude, I think without a doubt the new company would hire you. I can't really think of any reason why they wouldn't. You seem to know coding like the back of your hand and you sound like you're really good at it, so I think they'd be fortunate to have you on their team. ^^ Admittedly though I don't know what business people or what the business world is like, but I've got a good feeling about your interview with the new company. I don't get good feelings like this very often. Ask Sakura. lol They're like once in a blue moon kind of thing. I really need to stop being so pessimistic most of the time, come to think of it. ^^; Is there civilization in Antarctica? Or were you joking? One of the downsides of reading text is it's harder to tell when someone's joking or not. lol ^^; I thought that was too cold for any people to live though is why I ask, but my information about Antarctica is most likely outdated, so I don't know if any people have actually lived up in Antarctica or not. My knowledge seems to be most useful with games than any kind of real world application. lol Omg, that sounds so sad after reading that back. I only know what I know though until someone updates me with current information. I think in that way I'm kind of not even a part of the world and am just in my own little world of games, music, anime, and awesome movies like the Godzilla movies. I'd love to watch those in order, one after the other one night. I hope they show the first 2 movies at some point on TV, too, then the 3rd one. With my bad memory it'd be like watching it all over again. Oh, did you know that the person behind Godzilla's design in the last movie used the color red because of how much he liked the Kaioken technique in Dragon Ball Z. I'm not joking, that's really why he had the color made red. I thought that was righteous. ^^ ^^ I think Akira Toriyama would've loved it, but I didn't know him personally. I think he'd appreciate it at least. ^^ Right now I feel pretty good. When mom and the step-father were running errands today I was left home alone again which gets me really bored after a while no matter what games I have to play or anime I have to watch. So, I was glad to hear mom say she was home when she came in the door. ^^ I was depressed for a short while toward the end of being home alone, but it was short lived thankfully since mom came home shortly after I got to feeling that way. Now I feel better. The knowledge that there's people out there that do care about me is a comforting, warm feeling, and I'm glad for the friends I have. ^^ Just feeling thankful at the moment in addition to feeling pretty comforted that people outside of the family care about me. ^^ ^^

Oh, it was just the name of the chocolate ice cream I was eating "Chocolate Therapy" which was extremely chocolate-y. Like, almost too much, but not quite overboard with it. I still liked it, but if it was any more chocolate flavored I most likely would've passed on it. I need something to drink after eating something that's got too much of a chocolate flavor to it. x.x

Nice!!! I don't know anyone from when I was a teenager outside of family, but it must be really awesome to have friends from back then that you're close to. ^^ In my case it's probably a good thing I don't still know people I knew as a teenager. lol It sounds like the new company is going to be a blast, and I wish you all the luck with the interview. I hope it goes well. I hear about how people get anxious in interviews, and it's understandable since there's so much at stake, but I think you'll ace the interview tbh. ^^ ^^ I only slept for like a few hours, but right now I'm feeling really chilled out as I'm listening to my Screamo playlist. I'm not sure why sometimes Screamo is just relaxing to me ^^; It doesn't seem like it would or even should be relaxing, but it is to me. I know, I'm weird. XD I'm feeling pretty good today though. Not paying as much attention to those nasty voices at the moment that I was in the past few days, but I'm sure they'll get louder as the day goes on because that seems to be how they work sometimes. I can't really predict what they'll say though or how loud they'll get, but they're one of the most infuriating things I've ever dealt with so far. x.x

Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition Apparently Raven is a member of Don Whitehorse's guild "Altosk" and Don told Raven to keep an eye on Estelle. I haven't slept yet, so the progress I've made in the game is kind of scattered right now, but once I get some sleep I'll type up my progress other than Yuri now has a ship of their own and can basically go aaaaaalmost anywhere they want, plus some walking distance. That's pretty frickin sweet because of the materials needed to Synthesize equipment like weapons and armor that have Skills that characters can permanently learn after fighting in battles using the equipment with the unlearned skills on them in enough battles to complete the progress bar the shows to the right of the Skill name. This is a pretty fun game, and I don't see myself getting tired of it any time soon. ^^ After Flynn brought the original letter of peace to Don Whitehorse just before an all-out war between the guilds and the knights, Ragou was formally arrested for his crimes by the Flynn brigade. It didn't really do anything though because he used his standing on the council to get pretty much a slap on the wrist compared to what he should've gotten. That's when Yuri woke up late at night while the party was sleeping in an Inn, found Ragou, first took out his guard, then killed Ragou and threw his dead body over the wall into what I think was the ocean because I heard 2 splashes after watching the 2 men get attacked by Yuri and falling over the side of the castle-like road. I wonder if Judith knows what he did though sometimes because later on Yuri tries to go out late at night again to mete out justice in a vengeful way by his hand, but he ran into Judith who was walking from the other direction, ,so they both headed back to the Inn after talking to each other about what the other was doing. After that, Yuri and party talked about going their separate ways, but just as Estelle was about to be escorted to the royal castle in the Imperial City of Zaphias, a flying monster (and very huge one at that) flew right up to Estelle and said he was going to deal with the "insipid poison of this world" which was apparently Estelle as far as he was concerned. Just then, the Imperial Knights' hand was forced and they brought out quite the machine of destruction they called Heracles to drive the monster off. Judith later tells Yuri and friends that his name is Phaeroh and he isn't a monster. Judith was riding around on a creature similar to Phaeroh, but the one she was riding around the sky with was named Ba'ul and she only knew Phaeroh's name because of Ba'ul telling her the other's name. Apparently there's "Giganto monsters" which are really big monsters that can be quite the challenge to take down, but I guess I took one down already because there's a brother and sister duo who run a traveling Inn (and cheap, too, at $50 Gald per rest). The brother (I forgot his name, but I'll mention it next time I run into the traveling Inn) says he can't go back to his hometown unless all of the Giganto monsters are destroyed. There was a brigade that was sent to exterminate the monsters apparently 15 years ago (maybe longer than that, for some reason that part's difficult to remember), but every member of that extermination squad was wiped out by those Giganto monsters. After progressing the story some after talking to the brother about those monsters, I guess I failed to realize I took one down, and he thanked Yuri for taking it down and gave him something as a token of thanks. I can't remember what it was though. So, apparently I can get some good stuff from the brother of the traveling Inn siblings if I keep killing off those monsters. That'll be tough though. Estelle, after hearing what looked like a monster talking in English and calling her "insipid poison" she's become determined to once again travel with Yuri and party to find out answers to some questions she has. If I have to fight Phaeroh it won't be a very fair fight because he's literally only got wings so I imagine he'd be in the air a lot of the time. x.x Before this incident though, Yuri and party ran into a mother whose son they saved from the monster dungeon that the magistrate Ragou was feeding them to, except they wanted to know where the father, Teagle, was. Back in Nor Harbor Yuri gave the horn to Teagle because the latter was trying to get that Rhybgarou horn even when he was in no position to even try to do so. The party runs into the little family of 3 once again in Heliord, but something was really off about what the wife said they were told as incentive to work to build the castle by a particular high ranking knight by the name of Cumore and his cronies which was apparently the red-eyes Leviathan's Claw group of psychos. Cumore was basically tricking the commoners into doing forced labor with the false promise of them becoming nobles after the castle was built, which he never intended to stay true to and it was only because Estelle told the mother and son nobles are people whose services have earned the emperor's confidence. Well, since the Emperor is and has been dead for 10 years, there's literally no way for those people to become nobles in any way, so Cumore was just tricking people into forced labor with silver-tongued promises of nobility that couldn't even be fulfilled, but the commoners didn't know that and just took Cumore at his word. Looks like Cumore is another human monster to get rid of by Yuri's hand if he gets to him first. Karol and Yuri officially form a guild consisting of Judith, Yuri, and Karol. Estelle couldn't necessarily join since she was a princess and guilds are formed by people that discard anything to do with the Empire, Raven is already in Don Whitehorse's guild, and Rita is a mage employed by the Empire, so she couldn't necessarily just up and join either. Karol came up with a really long and weird name for it like Super Ultra Powerful Braves, but Estelle suggested something by the name of Brave Vesperia because it's easy to say and has a snap to it. Vesperia is the brightest star in the night sky apparently, which I don't know if it's just in the game or if there's really a star named Vesperia out there, but that's a pretty catchy guild name. Yuri wanted Karol to be the leader of the guild, who's a capable kid, but he's still just a kid. He's done an impressive job so far with the guild, but heavy is the head that wears the crown so to speak, right? Repede is the second in command of the guild, but since he can't actually talk, Yuri's pretty much the second in command but more with suggestions than anything else and bringing ideas to Karol to build up his confidence because the kid's got a serious issue in that department. He's come a long way though in the game so far and he's more confident in his abilities than he used to be. So, after Yuri got Judith to distract the knight guarding the elevator that went down to the forced labor camp, he knocked the knight out cold when Judith lured him away from his post to a hidden spot where no one would find his unconscious body. Judith was very... I'll say convincing. ^^; It was Karol's idea to lure the knight away from his post with "feminine wiles" though which surprised me that a kid would know that term. Well, it worked and the party snuck into the forced labor camp, confronted Cumore with Estelle as a witness, and fought him and the red-eyes mercenaries off after Cumore actually tried to make the princess "disappear" in his ambitious arrogance. Unfortunately, he and the leader of the red-eyes Leviathan's Claw disappeared in an explosion of smoke. The party tracked Barbos down at Ghasfarost which was surrounded by a huge whirlwind until something stopped the whirlwind surrounding the tower (I forgot what that something was). Then Yuri and the party climbed the tower to get to Barbos. The party won, but Barbos left a chilling message to Yuri saying "he'll be waiting for him in Hell" along with telling him he'd made a lot of enemies and that this life would consume him just like what apparently happened to the Don. Barbos said Yuri was the Don's spitting image. After saying all of that to Yuri, Barbos willingly leaned backwards to fall from the top of the tower to the ground waiting a long way below. At least Yuri and party don't have to worry about Barbos anymore though... So, for now, the guild has been hired by Estelle to escort her to a vast desert area that they need a ship to find. The Fortune's Market guild master was at Torim Harbor right when Yuri and party were looking for a ship. Since the guild of Brave Vesperia was already on the current job of escorting Estelle to the desert land to talk to the creature known as Phaeroh, they couldn't escort the woman that led Fortune's Market anywhere or guard them from Mermen which had the guild the previously tried to hire for the job running like a bunch of scared little chickens. It was pretty funny because she didn't even get her money back. lol So, she talked the fledgling guild of Brave Vesperia into joining her on her ship to her destination and in return she'd give them the ship. Like, literally just let them have it to do what they want and go where they want. HOW SWEET IS THAT?!?!?!? ^^ ^^ That woman rocks, but for some reason I'm having trouble remembering her name. It'll come up again, but it's only been mentioned once so far, so that might be why I can't remember. So, for now, I've docked at Nor Harbor to do a little backtracking in the areas Yuri and party has been to so far to get information on all of the monsters that I can using Magnify Lens. Unfortunately only 15 of these items can be carried at time, but it works. I'm just thinking about visiting Aspio to see if there's any scene with Rita there. If not, I'll backtrack all the way to Zaphias, the Imperial City, but I probably won't be able to enter the city even if I tried since that would probably be a bad idea right now. lol That's where I am though. Damn, dude, this game's plot is really complex. o.0

It'd be pretty sweet if Melaodons were still around in those unexplored depths, but I think it'd scare some people into not swimming in the ocean anymore, too. lol Even though we wouldn't even really be a snack for something that huge, so I don't think it'd actually bother trying to eat one of us unless we were like in front of its mouth. Ever since I first heard of the Megalodon I've wondered what one would look like and been fascinated with it. I've always liked sharks, but after finding out how some humans are hunting and killing them I also had sympathy for them as well as admiration for the marine animals that have been such an important part of the ocean's eco-system. I'm still unsure why they'd eat things like tires and license plates though. That can't be appetizing, can it? o.0

A Chocolate Therapy flavored ice cream, a cannoli, a Fresca, 4 Crazy Puffs from Little Caesars. ^^ Not in that order though. If anything, in the reverse order. lol

Thanks, Som. ^^

Without even thinking about it I'd say Winter is my favorite season. Though I do get more tired in said season than the others because of the cold, but I still love Winter. On days where I have to take the trash cans down to the bottom of our driveway though not so much if there's ice I slip on along the way. x.x I always like it again the next day though, so I don't get too mad if I slip and fall on Winter ice. lol I wish we could build a snowman. There's too many cacti around here for us to watch out for to the point that we'd most likely get needles in our hands from them if we'd try to build a snowman in the town we live in on our property. ;.; Do you have somewhere to go sledding in the Winter where you live? It can even be a small hill or something, anything that will make the sled slide down on the snow.

I hope you'll enjoy your work more at that new company, dude. ^^ Hopefully the working environment will be welcoming, too. ^^ ^^ Ohhh, ok, I didn't realize Summer took the toll it takes on you. o.o You should try a vacation in Alaska next time you can just so you can get out of the heat of where you live now. ^^ I don't know if there's actually hotels or motels there though, but that'd be a sweet place to vacation to chill out to some cold weather. ^^ ^^ That reminds me though, when I went to my eye exam, I accidentally wrote 2023 as the year where I was supposed to put the date when I got these glasses like last month or early this month. One of those. lol That was pretty embarrassing. ^^; I feel pretty good right now. The voices are trying to distract me, like usual, but at least right now they're little more than a nuisance which is a nice change from how they've been in the last handful of days. Enjoying the chilly night weather, too~ ^^

Basically the only reason I found out about anime is through my big sister, who was into anime when they were still calling it Japanimation. She also got me to try a lot of different video games that I never would've even considered, so I think the interests were always there as well, just not as openly talked about.
