5 things i'd put on a pentagram to summon you would be a 3ds with pokemon x playing, the tiniest elephant figurine, a little stuffed bear, a mass effect disc, and some homestuck shit. But, the pentagram would be drawn with hotdog water and could only be performed inside a vw bus.

yes. perfect. the knowledge of a buttsfriend on display here

COURTNEY'S NEAT QUESTIONS

One of my bestest friends ever, Courtney (go follow her she's cool), had these questions in response to my MYSPACE CHAIN MAIL thing and I liked them so...I'm going to answer them.

1.    What’s your favorite book and why?

Well, I've answered this several times, but I'd have to pick The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It's cute, it's funny, and it's beyond clever. It doesn't just make you laugh, though- it makes you care about those characters, and despite how cheesy and hilarious some of the situations become, you want them to be okay. You want Arthur Dent to be happy. It's beautiful and everything I love about books and writing and just a good god damn story. Douglas Adams was a masterful writer and I hate the fact that he had to pass before he could finish just one more book...but that's life, I suppose. :(

2.    Do you believe in karma? Why or why not?

I don't necessarily believe in karma in a spiritual or sort of "law", but I DO believe in it. If you do your best to treat others with respect and love, they'll do the same out of respect for that, I think- and those that would go out of their way to be mean to someone who tries their best to be nice to everyone are quickly attacked by others (in my experience, at least...there's been a few times when others are like "hey stop fucking with Gary" before I can even respond). If you're a dickhead, people are...not going to like you, and that makes people more likely to be a dick right back to you!

3.    Who is someone you look up to in your life and what have they taught you?

There's many inspirations that have influenced me to make me the bear I am today, but if I had to pick one major one- Mr. Rogers. He didn't teach me anything about how to be funny or silly or anything like that.

But he DID teach me that people are who they are and they shouldn't be expected to change to suit anyone else. He taught me that people have good in them, and that lead to me trying my best to look for what good others offer, despite how they might appear or act.

He taught me to love myself and love others because the world can be a harsh place. Loving others and trying to help them feel comfortable with themselves, and helping them realize that someone cares about them is so, so important.

Mr. Rogers is one of my most beloved influences, and in my opinion, one of the greatest people to ever live. That's just a small bit of what he taught me. If people followed his ideas more often, I think the world would be a better place.

4.    Do you believe there is such a thing as paranormal existences? 

I don't really know. I WANT them to exist, they're so damn interesting and entertaining to read and think about and I love them and EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM. I've just never had any experience to lead to me believing in any sort of thing like that. I'm typically a skeptic, too...but I do hold the belief that there's so much out there that we've never seen and won't see for a long time. So something could definitely be hiding out there!

5.    Have you ever had an experience that you can’t explain?

Plenty of times, really, though I don't necessarily attribute them to the paranormal. Usually just me not caring enough to check it out. I've never had anything super freaky happen, though.

6.    Do you think there is intelligent life elsewhere? And if there are, do you think they would even bother with us?

This I definitely do believe, and always have. Our universe is much too vast to not believe there's at least the chance, in my opinion.

On the other aspect, well...I don't know if they'd bother with us, but I know us, as humans, would probably mess with them. So I see it as an inevitability, only relying on once they find us or we find them.

7.    You discover a strange door in your house that you’ve never noticed before. A low humming noise and slight glow is coming from behind it. It’s locked. How do you proceed?

I grab a heavy, blunt object, and knock on it, wait for a response. If anything creepy occurs I kick it down if possible and attempt to destroy whatever. That or get someone to help me in doing the same thing.

If there's not a creepy response, then, well...I guess I go in anyway to see whatindAHAIL!

8.    Zombie Apocalypse. What’s your plan?

Attempt to gather friends that are close as quickly as possible to build up a resistance force that isn't just me. Then, after gauging the safety of the outside (it will never be safe, but it can be safe enough), we attempt to get to Lowes/Walmart/Home Depot whatever might not have been raided too badly, and gather materials. My house has lots of materials too, and has a fenced in backyard for extra protection, which we can build up and defend even more easily. My neighborhood is full of old people, too, so...the zombies will be weak and feeble. Bonus points. Then we wait it out with trips out as needed until the zombies fall apart in the weather. :)

9.    If you had to give up one thing that you like to do/eat/have/watch/play forever what would it be?

I would give up...shit man, what the FUUUUCK. That's such a hard choice. I do the things I do because I enjoy them and the fellowship I have with people I do them with. :(

I suppose I'd give up eating chocolate. Because while I love it, I can get along without it (and it'd help me be a little healthier).

10.  Coke or Pepsi?

Hmm. I like both, but if I had to pick one at any given time, I'd pick Pepsi. I like Pepsi better as an every once'n'a'while drink. If I had to pick one for consistency, I'd pick Coke. I much prefer its consistency if I drink one of the two often.

11.  Why did the chicken cross the road?

Because it wanted too! Chicken's don't need a reason. Chickens just DO.

1. Have you ever had any kind of visions/vivid deja vu?

Definitely. Usually because I like to do similar things? So I'll be hanging out with some friends and just suddenly realized we're like sitting in the exact same place and doing the exact same things. I have gotten some strong ones before from non-similar things, though. Just randomly, and I can't think of any examples, though.

2. How long can you balance on one foot?

1:43.1 according to my phone's stopwatch, before I got bored. Wasn't very hard though??

3. Do you have a strong local accent?

Not at all! If I get very angry (which is rare) my accent sneaks out, but otherwise I sound rather neutral, I think. I mean, there's a little bit that might give away that I'm from the south, but I've had people just tell me that they don't believe I've lived in Northeast Tennessee my entire life, if that says anything.

4. Have you ever been on a pogo stick?

Yes, I have, but not for very long. Because I fell off.

5. If you could steal one thing without consequence what would it be?

Huh. What an interesting question! I wouldn't want to steal something valuable to humanity, so nothing that there's only one of...and I wouldn't want to steal something others need, like lots of food. So I'd probably just steal a big-ass TV. Like the biggest you can get. That or a kick-ass surround sound system.

6. What’s your least favorite song?

"Paradise City" by Guns'n'Roses due to a friend who does not understand how TO QUIT LISTENING TO A SONG

7. If you have an mp3 player, what kind is it?

I have an iPod that I use to listen to music in my car. It's pretty sweet and contains ridiculous amounts of tunes that keep getting bigger. It has a lot of vidya game songs but some "real" ones too!

8. Have you ever cosplayed? If so, who have you cosplayed?

NO I HAVE NOT BUT I WANT TO

I want to a lot because it seems like it'd be so much fun. I want to do a very good job though, because I'm a bit of a perfectionist about that sort of thing.

9. Have you ever gone to a music festival? (i.e. Warped Tour, Creation, Woodstock)

No, I haven't. Would love to, someday, though! Dunno who I'd go to since I'm not big on specific genres or bands, I just enjoy music, so I'd probably just go to one I get invited to go to. U u U

10. Have you ever licked a battery?

No. No, I haven't. Now I kind of want to, though.

11. How many salt and vinegar chips do you think you could eat without burning the sides of your mouth off?

856! Really though, I don't know, never had salt'n'vinegar chips. DONT JUDGE ME

My 11 Questions for those I Tag:

1. Would you rather face one horse-sized duck, or a hundred duck-sized horses?

2. What's your favorite thing to do outside?

3. What's your most loved and most hated candies?

4. That's your top three dumb and/or cheesy jokes?

5. If you built a time machine, would you rather it be able to go only forward or only backward in time?

6. Are you afraid of bugs and "creepy-crawlies"? If so, why? Do you kill them if you see them?

7. What would you do if you had access to exactly one thousand dollars each day, but no more? Any left over is sent to charities of your choice.

8. If you could change one decision you've ever made in your life, what would it be?

9. Would you rather see what all the depths of the oceans had to offer or would you rather see a glimpse of all of space's reach?

10. What's something small that makes you smile every time you think of it?

11. What's a hobby you have that you think people wouldn't expect you to have?

12. Not a question, but just me popping in to say that you're perfect and I love you and you're great. :) <3

Dear Ex-boyfriend, Dear Santa, Dear ex-bestfriend

Dear Ex-Boyfriend,

You are just one of a kind. A ONE OF A KI- wait.

WAIT A MINUTE.

I DON’T HAVE AN EX-BOYFRIEND I’VE BEEN BAMBOOZELED!

————————

Dear Santa,

I think you should give everyone the opposite presents next year because holy SHIT that would be the funniest thing ever. EVERYONE WOULD BE SO MAD.

————————

Dear Ex-Bestfriend,

I don’t really have much in the way of these, but there is one. And I guess I would say I’m sorry we drifted apart, but it was all school. I try to talk to people as best I can despite sucking dick at it. We just never had any classes together and it was before Facebook and tumblr and texting, so we never had a reliable way to talk to each other.

[kosmonautbear]

Pre-birfday?…party thingamajig whatsit fuckit was wonderful. :) I had a few friends who dropped by throughout the day and we played some Smash Bros and Nintendoland. We also ate MidCity, which is SO delicious it’s pretty much the best ever.

Then we topped it off with a few of us watching the Slenderman movie. That shit was…fuck me, it was horrifying. There was some bad acting, mostly in one part that was just kinda cringy, but the rest was great. And terrifying.

Well, goodnight, goodnight, goooodniiiight…everbody!

Personals from the Bearcave #1

I guess it's kinda making my blog an actual blog in some ways, which is sorta OH GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING, but here's some real talk. I'll block it off so if you don't want to read it, you won't see it for the most part beyond a title. It'll just be personal stuff that I want to write down and don't care if someone sees. Hopefully I won't ruffle any feathers and lose any followers, though I don't know why I would.

Lately I've been doing pretty well!

Classes are going fine for the most part, though I'm worried about Physics. I'm going to go to tutoring for it if I can find the damn time to do so. So many things to do but so little time. Story of my life. I do get to make a flipcomic for my next 2D design project, though, so awwww YEEEEAAAH! Nothing like being in my element.

Other than class, the only upset I've been having trouble with is the occasional 8LUH 8LUH 8IG DUM8 ANXIETIES. Mostly to do with minor worries about annoying others. Not right off the bat, but I feel like I can get boring or annoying after a little while. I dunno. I think a lot of it comes from the whole breakup, which I know was a month ago but I don't recover that quickly. In my head it processes as "if I gave my all to her and it wasn't enough, then why would I be for anyone else" and it just causes that tiny voice of self-doubt about my worth to others. I'm talking the problem up, though, and it's not really that big. I definitely know how stupid it is, but oh well. Can't help what happens in your head a lot of the time. I know I'm worth a lot more than my head tells me sometimes, so I just tell it to fuck right off.

Halo 4 is excellent and I'm so glad that it is. I was worried about 343i's competence, but they did a good job. Multiplayer is fun and has the Halo feel that I wanted but is fresh at the same time. Sprinting speeds up the game without ruining balance, IMO. The armor abilities are diverse but useful for different purposes. Plus, the Covenant Carbine is still the best thing ever. <3 It completely overshadows Black Ops II in a few days, even.

I'm loving How I Met Your Mother, which I've been watching with Devin lately. Excellent show, though some of the jokes are cheesy, it definitely has its moments. And Neil Patrick Harris is brilliant, of course! I'm planning to start watching Supernatural when I get a good chance to sit down and do so, as I've been encouraged. Hopefully I love it as much as I dread I will (oh god another fandom help me please tumblr is a toilet that's sucking me in granted it's a wonderful toilet and sweet jesus this is a crazy runon sentence). Also, GRAME GUMPS is amazing! I adore Jon and Arin. Beatboxing King Ghidorah is the best thing ever.

Also, can I just say I have AWESOME friends? Watching shit tons of Merlin with me (dat goblin Gaius)! Watching Baman and Piderman...hell, even filming videos with me IN IT as Batman?! If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and watch it, it's on my Facebook page. And I'm looking forward to watching a SWEET FILM tomorrow! You all know who you are! *wink wonk* With all these awesome people around, it's hard to let the bad times get to me. So thank you, guys. All of you.

Thanks for readin' and have an excellent evening, tumblr. Stay classy. <3
