OK Fal and I have been working on this idea of a web comic called RƏNO for a while and last night we finally got it on-line. It's an experiment in comic humor and very much a WIP but we're trying to update it every day for the time being to see if it catches on or not. Here's a link to it if you'd like to see it. Feel free to comment on it we'd love to have your feed back. http://projectrunno.smackjeeves.com/

Enjoy!

An experiment...

I'll make a real post when I get the time...

Anyway I have to go take my sister and her son to the Doc's now b/c her son has an ear infection and a temp of 104F. I talk to you later.

I was meaning to write yesterday but yesterday ended up being a lazy day partly due to my lack of sleep the night before. That brings what I was going to write yesterday…. the caused of the lack of sleep.

On Tues after Aikido Fal and I met up with Christian to DDR for a while this turned into hanging out until 4am. Fal and I didn’t even get to be until after 5am so needless to say I got very little sleep that night but it was fun as hell so I’m not complaining.

Now on to other things…

On Sun I start my on-line class… This was a bitch to accomplish b/c I had to stuff about two months into less that a week but the good news is that it’s done and I’m in. I hope everything works out b/c I’ve also taken out a student loan to be able to do this. :/

Aside from trying to recover form lack of sleep I’ve been doing great. Here are the major things worth mentioning that I’ve gotten done this week:
- Achieved 7thKyu
- Went to my little brother’s Birthday party (well this was last Wed but is was in the last 7 days)
- Getting back to school (filling out and turning in 2 months of paperwork in one week)
- Getting along with Christian
- Applied for a loan.

( A lot of pics... work safe though )

Yeah I think this has been a rather good week for me and I hope things keep going like this.

TTYL,

~Derema~

I don't know who I'd call or what I'd really say, but this brings to mind something I read a long time ago and I can't remember where I read it or the exact quote but it said something like this:

If you knew you were dying and you had just one hour to live who would you call and what wound you say and why aren't you doing it now?

Think about this question. If you really have something to say why wait until time passes you by? Life's too short to hold grudges or live in would have, could have or should haves. Live for the moment, cherish every breath you take and never hold back for "someday" because time is limited and "someday" may never come.

~Derema~

I'm sick of DOS! Does anyone know anything about Linux? I've tried to look into what I need to do get get Linux on my comp but I can't seem to find much out at to how EXACTLY I'm supposed to do so. If anyone can help it'd be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

~Derema~

Not a ton has been happening as of lately but I did update my profile and change the look of this thing again it's now mostly in blues.I don't know what I'm going to do with this right not but I want to spend more time on this one. Sa yeah don't expect it to stay the same...LOL

~Derema~

I've been meaning to post some of these for a while now but haven't had the time or I've forgotten about them but here some pics for you all. Tell me what you think...
( Work safe just too big to not post under cut )

Ja

~Derema~
Note: Sorry for x posting but I want this to be public too.

Heh I think I should be more active on this account then maybe my friends that don't have a LJ can at least know how I'm doing... LOL

Anyway a lot's happened in the last what has it been... almost month?

First off the new roomies didn't work out and Fal and I were forced to move into a more affordable place. Now the ironic thing is that it was a move up despite the fact it cost less and we HAD to move. There were a few things that were annoying like the move taking more than a week and the first night that we got here (the new place)we had our car broken into and our battery stolen, but all in all things here have been really good.

Another thing that's happened is I'm now attending an Aikido Dojo and yesterday was my first day. I ache but I had a hell of a lot of fun and I'm going to be attending classes at least twice a week. My next class is this evening at 6pm I hope my muscles do alright with that.

Now something else that I've been thinking about...

I think I'm going to do more with this LJ seeing how this one is the one that's in the public eye. I also think I'm going to make my other LJ Just about %100 friends only and not post any other public posts. That way I can keep my privet life amongst close friends* but still let others know a bit about me.

Anyway that's about all for now TTYL!

~Derema~

Note: *If you don't have a LJ and want to know more about what I write you can get a free account and have me friend you on my other LJ.

Hmmm I like this one and I think I'll try to answer it in a poem...

I’m the one that touches all.
I can help you see,
But I can also make you blind.
I make others' success noticeable,
But mine often goes unnoticed.
I provide energy to everyone.
I'm not any one size.
I help all living things to grow.
I embrace the world with warmth,
But I can also hurt and even kill.
I'm not angry nor am I happy,
I don't love nor hate,
I have no emotions at all.
I will exist somewhere forever,
But I never last in any one place for long.
What am I you ask?
I am the light.
Nothing more nothing less...

Well that wasn't too bad. How do you all like it?

~Derema~

The best thing I've ever done in my life is learn how to love unconditionally. This was also one of the hardest things that I've ever done but it was well worth it.

NOTE TO ALL WHO READ THIS: This question should serve as an inspiration to do all you can no matter what. We all NEED to do our best every day of our lives.

Remember this:
Life is short live it to it's fullest everyday!
Forgive quickly!
Love truly!
Laugh loud and often!
And never resist the urge to help one another!

Thank you for your time,

~Derema~

In my eyes, a hero is someone that has changes the world for the better, no matter how small the change is (one person CAN make a difference). Someone that will overcome through their weaknesses and help others overcome their own. The people who try to commit only selfless act.

Anyone can be a hero in my eyes and everyone has their own hero. From the friends and family that offer a hand to us when we’re down to our own children (human and non-human alike) that love us unconditionally. From the firefighters and police officers that risk their lives and even sometimes die to the person that helps a stranger with their unwieldy groceries. These and so many more are the people that I can call heroes.

To all the heroes big and small I want to say thank you and to everyone I hope you can find the hero that lives in you.

Best wishes,

~Derema~

I guess it's time for an update b/c a lot's been happening...

2) As of the beginning of this month I have two new roommates (Rosie and Jason)and Dennis has moved out

3) As of June 2, 2008 Fal is now my fiancé and it was she that proposed to me! Yes, yes good times indeed. ^_^

4) I'm learning how to use my voice recognition on my comp and to be honest I don't know If a really like it. It's strange to talk to you computer if you're not pissed off at it... LOL

5) I now own a Mahjong set here's a pic of that too...
http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb65/Derema/MyMahjongSet4.jpg

I'm sure that there's other things but I just can't think of them ATM so I'll talk to you all later. Hopefully I'll update this one sooner that 2 months+... LOL

Oh yes and here's my battle cry...LOL

What Is Your Battle Cry?

Hark! Who is that, sprinting through the terrain! It is Derema, hands clutching a reflective halberd! And with a vengeful bellow, her voice cometh: "As sure as predators devour prey, I hereby snap and go berzerk!!"

Find out! Enter username: Are you a girl, or a guy ?

created by beatings : powered by monkeys

It all started when I was looking for a place to write and get connected with other people. Then on 3-2-04 I was sent this link by my best friend, Fal to a site that called itself "Live Journal." She told me that it was free and that she was on it too so I decided to give it a try. Four years later I'm still loving it and I now have two accounts I even pay for one of them.

BTW here's what I had to say in my first ever post:

***************************************************

Subject: Hi
Posted on 2004.03.02 at 18:20
Current Mood: hopeful
Hi,

My name's Derema and I just found this (with a friend's help). So I'm just going to say hi for now and see where it goes.

Derema

***************************************************

Well I guess we know where it's gone now...LOL

~Derema~

This was passed on to me by a good friend made me laugh out loud so now I'm passing it on to you all...



Memory was something you lost with age
An application was for employment
A program was a TV show
A cursor used profanity

A keyboard was a piano
A web was a spider's home
A virus was th e flu A CD was a bank account
A hard drive was a long trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived

And if you had a 3 inch floppy...


...You just hoped nobody ever found out!!

Ok so how well do you all think this fist me?

Here’s something I want to share with you all. This was shared by one of the members of bi_people and I wanted to share it with all of you who haven’t seen it (Warning: this could piss off a lot of people especially the LGBT community)…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFxk7glmMbo&eurl=http://lj-toys.com/?journalid=268949&moduleid=27&auth_token=sessionless:1206079200:embedcontent:268949%262

Fal and I now have a little kitten! She's six months old, long haired and named Hoshi. I'll give you more details some time soon but for now I have to get to bed.

~Derema~

Under the cut is a long survey that I decided to take so you all can get to know me a bit better. I'll talk to you all later but for now I've got to get to bed.

( Under cut b/c it way too long otherwise )

Nainai,

~Derema~

I found this on somebody's LJ and they found it somewhere and we don't know who wrote this nor where it came from, but pass it on if you want to...

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

We are the couple who had the Realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male.

Re-post this if you believe homophobia is wrong. Maybe by spreading awareness, we can help end it once and for all.

This my gift to all of you I got it form my other LJ but it's work safe...
http://home.att.net/~hideaway_today/t060/nice.htm

Those of you who have this LJ and my friends only LJ f-listed may find my posting in both of these journals to be a bit annoying. So if you don't want to hear about my life twice over I won't feel bad if you decided to un-f-list this LJ. I doubt that I'll be updating this one as often as I do my other one anyway.

Also just so you know I want to keep all of the stuff I put on this journal public so I'm not going to be posting any adult rated content on this. That sort of stuff will be kept on my other journal.

Now that that's said I'll be updating this thing some time soon, but first of all I'm going to try to change all the entries that I have made f-list or privet into public entries(... this might take a while).

Talk to you all later,

~Derema~
