I'm Sorry Guys.

I'd like to apologize to my followers for not posting a lot lately. I haven't been on lately because a lot of the blogs I follow haven't really been posting. Also, I just got on tumblr. With tumblr I don't feel obligated to make semi long posts; it can be a sentence. If I made a sentence long blog on here I feel like that would just be ridiculous. Also, I can reblog things that I think are cool. Don't get me wrong, I love Blogger, but I'll most likely post on Tumblr. If you want to follow me over there it's eveejoystar.tumblr.com and it's still The Life of eveejoystar. Sorry guys.

Tumblr.

So, I've decided to try Tumblr. That doesn't mean I'm giving up my blog, just that I'm willing to try a more popular site. I think some of it, like the design for your tumblr, is a little confusing b/c they don't really explain what you're supposed to do are what a certain function does. But I'm learning I guess, so we'll see how it goes.

Getting dressed for things, etc.

First off, I would like to start off this post by saying: Woo! An actual post by me that has nothing to do with freebies! Your lives are now complete. haha.

And now for the real post-

Apparently no matter what way you look at it with my mom, I'm too extreme for her.

Let's start with side A, where I know that I'm not doing anything that day:

If I wake up and know that all my friends are busy, that I'm not going shopping, and that we're not going out to eat that day then honestly, I'm not getting dressed. I'm going to stay in my pajamas all day. B/c that means I'm spending all day eating snacks, watching cartoons, messing around on the internet, and playing video games. I don't think that requires getting dressed, and honestly I think it's a waste of a perfect outfit that I can wear some other day. But apparently from my mom's point of view I'm just being extremely lazy and that I should get dressed no matter what, and that it's not very girl-like.

Then we have side B, where I know I'm going to be doing something:

If I know I'm going to be doing something that day I will try on ten different outfits, interchanging different shirts and pants, and will normally end up with something totally different than what I started out with. Then I will pick jewelry to go with that outfit and make sure my makeup goes with it, etc. Well, apparently that's too girly and just insane. Since they're my clothes I should already know what they look like on me, so there's no point in trying them on. My mom thinks that's just insane and pointless. But I want to know what two articles of clothing look like together on me. Yes, I've worn them before, but maybe I haven't worn them together. One shirt might not look good with a skirt. Maybe it looks good when they're laying on my bed, but not on me.

The only time where I'm somewhere in the middle of "extremes" is when I think I'm not going to be doing anything that day, then they tell me, "Hey, we're going out to eat in five minutes." B/c then I just have to throw something on, and I don't like that. >.>

August Freebies.

8/1-8/6: Honey Nut Cheerios, Zebra Pens(when I signed up for this freebie, I assumed I was just getting one pen, but the sent me a pack of five pens :D), Shout Wipe & Go, No Buzz Zone Patch(I have no idea why I got another one), L'Oreal Youth Code, Trilipiderm All-Body Retention Creme(three of them), Garnier Moisture Rescue

8/7-8/13: two packs of Good Kind Natural Coffee Creamer, DenTek Easy Brush, Milani lipstick(vivacious fuchsia)

I believe that's my shelf.

This is going to be a semi-rant.
Okay, so in our freezer we have three shelves. One for my mom, one for me, and one for Rocky. Everytime I don't have room on my shelf they make me put some stuff in the deep freezer, but when they don't have room they decide to put their stuff on my shelf. I'm just a little annoyed that I'm the only one who has to put stuff in the deep freezer. Currently, my shelf has a couple of my things, but the rest is covered with my mom's Lean Cuisine's. If she doesn't have room, she should put them in the deep freezer.

It's nothing to get super annoyed at, I just don't see how it's fair that they can take up room on my shelf but I'm not allowed to even put one thing on theirs. Also, Rocky never uses anything on his shelf, so I think all his stuff should go in the deep freezer.

Resolutions.

So, the year is halfway over and I was wondering if you guys have started to think about New Year's resolutions.

I've decided that one of my New Year's resolutions will be to read 150 books before the end of the year. On New Year's I'll post a list of the books I'm going to read, and I'll mark a slash through them when I'm finished. I'll also edit the post to inform you guys when I started and finished them.

I'll probably come up with a couple other resolutions by then, but I currently don't know.

So, post in the comments section what you're planning on doing, and if you decide to also do the book thing, let me know what type of books you're thinking about.

Freebies(July).

7/1-7/2: L'Oreal Youth Code, 1 can of Ocean Spray Sparkling Pomegranate Blueberry juice(heck to the yes, bomb diggidity. If you can't tell, I was excited about this.)

Freebies(June).

I've 'liked' two pages on Facebook that inform people when places are giving away stuff for free. I also follow a couple freebie sites on Twitter. I've decided that I want to keep track of all the freebies I get. I'm not going to make multiple posts everytime I get a freebie, b/c that would probably be annoying. So, I've decided I'll make one post for each month, and just update that post each week, if that makes sense.

These first couple freebies I don't remember when I received them this month, so I'll just post them, then I'll post future freebies by week.

Freebies so far: Nescafe Taster's Choice coffee, Raisels, Tide Stain Release, Tide(enough for one load), a mini padlock(the ones you use on diaries and suitcases), John Frieda Root Awakening shampoo and conditioner, Garnier Fructis Anti-Dandruff shampoo: Clean & Fresh, Garnier Fructis Anti-Dandruff shampoo: Mint Cleanse

6/26-6/30: No Buzz Zone Patch(Mosquito Repellent), Purex(it busted before I got it), Herbs at a Glance: a Quick Guide to Herbal Supplements(book)

GaiaOnline is disappointing me.

So, when I first joined Gaia I was using it more casually, but now that I want to be more "hardcore" with it, it has become impossible. There's tons of youngin's on it who don't understand grammar and like to troll. I can't really enjoy the forums because there are regulars who make it difficult. You can't join in without them trying to make someone feel like a noob. I mostly go to the guilds that I've joined, but barely anyone goes there, so there are no new posts. Or they only post in the social part of the guild instead of the main part, and the whole reason I join a guild is to talk about whatever topic the guild is about. Plus, there's regulars in there too. Anyways, just wanted to get this off my mind and whatnot.

Interview.

So, Sunday I filled out an application for Dick's Sporting Goods, then Monday they called to set up an interview, and that happened to be today. I was super nervous and spent hours thinking about what I would say to certain questions. I get there, he doesn't ask any of the questions I prepared for and the interview was way shorter than the last one I had. I actually wasn't that nervous during the interview, and I feel that I did well with the questions I did answer. I'm just not sure how I did. On one hand I feel like my answers were great, and on the other hand I feel like there weren't enough questions to get to know me. I guess we'll see what happens.

The Voice.

So, I've been watching the Voice. From Christina's team, America voted to keep Beverly. Then Christina had to vote to keep another member and she voted for Frenchie. Raquel was the only member from her team that I liked. Pooey. :( Two people are going to be voted off of Blake's team then Adam and CeeLo's team are going to perform. There's two people on Blake's team that I like: Dia and Xenia. I guess we'll see what happens.

Okay, Casey's performance has made me like her. So, I will definently vote for her, and I've already decided to vote for Devon; he's really good. <3

Oh my goodness, CeeLo's group performance was hilarious and good. lol.

Dia was saved!!!! So excited!!!! And Xenia!!! Yay!! Both of my people!! Super Excitement!! I don't know why I capitalized excitement! lol.

Okay, now to wait until next Tuesday.

D&D.

So, you guys don't know a whole lot about me, so before I get to the point of this post, I'll give you some info on me.

I'm a big D&D(Dungeons & Dragons) fan. I used to play it all the time with my dad. He didn't like to buy maps for it, so he would draw his own. He'd use a ruler to draw all the squares, draw all the landscapes, and color it. So, of course he was the dungeon master. haha. Well, anyways, he got tired of drawing all the maps and tried to convince us to play without maps. That's just ridiculous in my mind, but I tried it once; didn't like it. So I haven't played in a long while. Now, my D&D playing consists of D&D: Tactics on the PSP.

Well, now to my point. If you are a huge fan of D&D like I am, then you're about to get super excited. There's going to be a D&D game on Facebook!! It's called D&D Heroes of Neverwinter. That Neverwinter part also excited me. See, I used to play Neverwinter Nights on the PC.

Well, that's all I wanted to tell you guys. haha. Hopefully you were excited like I was. Don't know when it will be playable though.

Another Update. O.o

So, I've been thinking a lot about blogging lately. Before I didn't take it as seriously, but now I vow to at least post once a week. To help me, I've made my blog one of the tabs that pops up when I connect to the internet. I've also decided to post more about video games, movies, tv shows, books, etc. I shouldn't post about friends, because if they happen to see the post, they might get mad. Well, I'll post good things about them then. haha. And there's my update post. :)

3DS cont.

So, in a post I made almost a year ago, I was debating on whether or not I planned on getting the 3DS. Since the 3DS is finally out, I've decided to update you guys on my thoughts about that.

So the 3DS is $249.99 and I definently don't have the money for it. I'm currently looking for a job, and when I get one, the 3DS will definently be one of the things I will save up for.

At this moment there aren't that many interesting games out for it, but I will admit that Nintendogs is a guilty pleasure of mine. ;D lol. Also, Ocarina of Time 3D is coming out next week, so that's something I definently plan on getting when I finally get the 3DS.

Recently Nintendo announced what games they were going to release while they were at E3, and I've posted them in my E3 summary post. The games I'm mostly interested in is Luigi's Mansion 2, Kid Icarus, and I heard there's going to be a Mario Party game, which I think would look wonderful in 3D. I was hoping that they would mention Harvest Moon: Tale of Two Cities, but they didn't. If you're a Harvest Moon fan, then you've most likely have heard of it. There's going to be two cities, obviously, and you have to pick which one you're going to live in. One is more focused on livestock while the other is more focused on crops. There's going to be llamas, so I'm obviously going to go to the city with the livestock. haha. After doing some research, literally two minutes ago, I found out that Nintendo did mention HM at E3, it just wasn't during the conference that I happened to watch. Found out that it's coming December 31st of this year. Thank you!! I know what I'm buying for xmas. ;) So, hopefully I get enough money during xmas to buy it and a 3DS, or hopefully I have a job by then.

My Favorite YouTube Channels.

So, I was sitting here drinking my coffee, trying to think of something to post and decided that I would list some of my favorite YouTube channels for you guys to subscribe to. So hopefully you enjoy them as much as I do, and hopefully you find at least one that peaks your interest.

Alphacat: He does parodies of songs and other funny videos. Most likely you've seen at least one of his videos. He's been on talk shows about his Obama impersonations.

GoRemy: Another funny youtuber. Has a bunch of hilarious videos, and some hilarious songs.

ItsKingsleyBitch: He rants about everything. Warning: Explicit language in all his videos.

L1Games: He talks about video game related stuff, has giveaways, shows updates on his store(he owns his own video game store), and he's pretty much one of my favorite youtubers.

WHATTHEBUCKSHOW: He talks about celebrity gossip and television shows. Sometimes has explicit language.

Well, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. :)

Some Delightful Info.

So, I thought I would be nice and share some contest info with you.

The first one is a Green Lantern giveaway on superherostuff.com

It's on the homepage; you should be able to see it. You could win a shopping spree.

The second one is a Youtube giveaway:

http://youtu.be/2lFHuqbACKQ

Hopefully that link works for you. You could win some video games.

Hope you enjoy. ;D

The Misunderstood Boy Wonder.

If you know Batman, and most likely you do, then you also know his sidekick, Robin. Now, most people dislike Robin and think he's a whiny brat, but I disagree and personally love him. If you've ever seen him away from Batman(Young Justice, Teen Titans, etc), then you know that he's a good leader, smart, and at times humorous. The only time he comes off as whiny is when he's WITH Batman. And why is that?? It's because Batman treats him like a kid, knocks down his ideas, and won't let him go on his own missions. Obviously, he's going to be annoyed and it's going to seem like he's whining. Wouldn't you be upset too?? He just wants to be treated like the intelligent individual that he is.

Sorry for the randomness, this is just something that has been on my mind for awhile.

Short Summary Thoughts on E3.

Microsoft:

-Mass Effect 3

-New Tomb Raider game(awkward sounding noises that she makes; sex noises)

-The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim!! It has dragons!

-Seriously, that's all that I remember about that.

EA:

-Honestly don't remember

Ubisoft:

-All that I remember was that their jokes were so bad that they actually made me laugh.

Nintendo:

-They had an orchestra playing; classic Nintendo always being amazing.

-Miyamoto's translator should have waited to translate after he was done talking instead of talking at the same time.

-Miyamoto is soo cute. lol.

-The orchestra played the music from Skyward Sword, when you get items, etc.

-For the 25th Anniversary they've decided to release a Zelda game for each of their consoles; Ocarina of Time for 3DS launched next week?? I think that's what he said.

-September- Four Swords available on DSi as a free download.

-Skyward Swords released this holiday season; Wii Motion Plus for sword and bow and a special gold Zelda Wiimote.

-25th Anniversary Symphony concerts going to be held around the world.

-Preparing 2 music cd's for Ocarina of Time and the symphony concerts.

-Iwata talking about creating a platform for all gamers: casual & hardcore.

-Mario Kart for 3DS; saw some flying contraption and underwater tracks; kart customization.

-Starfox; tilt the 3DS to tilt your spacecraft; comes out September.

-A cool looking Mario platform game; a 3D Mario platform; interesting and new.

-Pokemon Black/White 3D Pokedex that we already knew about.

-Wii U; controller is rectangular, has buttons(YES!), and a screen that you can switch to just in case someone decides they want to watch tv, that way you can continue playing. Seems pretty cool to me. Has other features too, but that's the one I thought was the coolest. Can video chat.

-Smash Brothers for Wii U and 3DS.

-Wasn't in the room for this, but based on tweets Batman: Arkham City, Assassin's Creed, Darksiders 2, Ninja Gaiden, and Tekken are coming to Wii U.

-Nintendo definently won this.

-And I guess I lied about short summary, since my Nintendo recap is so long.

Long Time No Post.

So, I haven't posted in an extremely long time, so it's time for an update. Lets see.....I got a haircut. See picture. I've gone to two concerts: Plain White T's and The After Party. Finished a year of college; didn't do so well the second semester, so I decided to take a break from school and just look for a job. I saw the new Pirates movie, it was pretty awesome. And I also went to the midnight showing of X-Men: First Class. It was flipping AMAZING; go see it!! I've been leaving the house more often, but I'm not hanging out with the same people. They've randomly decided to stop talking to me. They don't text or talk to me on Facebook, and supposedly said person was my best friend. Whatever then. I want to go to Ohio for the Summer, but I'm still trying to find a ride there and back, and now that I've decided to not go to school, mom might make me get a job right away. I'll have to ask her about possibly going to Ohio first. I guess we'll see. Andddd I believe that's about it. Oh! My beautiful sister bought me Pokemon Black for xmas. I have beaten it; just need to catch 'em all. NOW that's the end.
