So, I don't update very often...

Yes, it is a freaking miracle. I have updated my long-forsaken livejournal account. However, here goes:

Life in Jake-Land has actually improved drastically. I now have a computer that is worth a damn, new clothes that are more on the adult side of life, and have begun the rigorous and demanding ordeal of planning my wedding. We're probably going to have the wedding at the fontanelle forest in Omaha, with the colors of the wedding being sapphire blue and hunter green. Sarah has bought her dress (which from what I understand is beautiful) and I have begun looking at tuxes for the rental. Food will be chinese, because sarah and I both want something different. Some of our table decorations will include a deck of cards for people to enjoy and some polyhedral die (which can be taken home).

All in all, I'm very much looking forward to it, if we get what we want as far as the wedding goes. Right now, the person who is theoretically paying for the wedding (sarah's mother) is not being all that receptive to our wants. Quite literally, I believe she had the entire wedding planned in HER head, and was going to tell us the specifics when she felt the that it was necessary.

So, I have now decided....this means war...

If all fails, and we are dictated exactly what our wedding will be, sarah and I have decided to bite the proverbial bullet and go with...a shotgun wedding. The courthouse shall be blessed by our presence sometime during the month of december. Every one of our friends are invited to attend, considering that this will be pretty much our only wedding. We will have the reception at the Hu-Hot, since that is our favorite place to eat in the entire galaxy (excluding the Restaurant at the End of the World).

So, you can either be happy for us, or sad.

On another note, I have reached my personal summer goal of 200 dollars on the grill in one day. This is difficult because I live in a town that is a suburb of Omaha, at a Hy-Vee that is going to be demolished in about a month, with items being in the range of 50 cents to 3 dollars. Taking that into consideration and that I only did it in THREE HOURS, it was a fucking miracle. I felt so happy, that I gave a bag of chips to the guy who bought the sandwich over the 200 dollar mark. That's how much I care about my sales. So my work can literally kiss the fattest part of my ass from now on.

Work it.

That's pretty much the most recent events in the life of the Jake.

Living large and perhaps some day in charge,

THE JAKE

PS: If you know my friend Aaron (or even if you don't), please give him some sort of prayer or simply support, as he just had his apartment burglarized about two days ago. They stole around 3k in electronics and DVD's. He's got renters insurance, but all I gotta say is...."Damn that sucks". I hope that everything will be okay in the end.

Sayeth the Poster, "NICE WORK!"

Well, on my side of life (Because I never use my livejournal to report the happenings in my life anymore) I've got a car, it's completely paid for, taxes licensing and all, and it is TEH SWEET. My computer's falling apart, and I've got Dan getting me a new HD for it. I still write, I still play games, and you'd better believe I'm looking forward to returning to the field of battle in Amtgard. GP's been too long without its favorite Monk and Bard, eh Jacob?

And I thought your life couldn't get any weirder...just promise me something, Jake.

No matter what paths we take in life...we'll always keep in touch. And we'll still get together on occasion to recount some of the crazier good times, and make a few more as the years continue. I think I'm finally hitting the 'old guy' mode of College life, which leads me to only be more wistful and introspective than usual.

Also: Can I PLEEEEEEEEEZE buy those checked Scotch like green and red pants from you? They worked great at the fair, and they're clean and all, but I'd just like to hang onto them. It sorta contributes to my 'mongrel of the British isles' image. If ya want 'em back, I'll understand, though.

Do yerself a favor and go to Default's home page and download their new (And yet unreleased single) "Count on Me". That song is, pardon my French, KICK ASS. Like all songs I enjoy, I've been listening to it for 3 days straight.

Heh, shotgun wedding...

I recall one of the unused ideas for the Bard Epilogues (Thing I did waaaay back in the day) was to have Erico realize that Ginrei's parents would never let him marry her...Then she was going to go ahead and leave them behind, marrying me anyway. After all, when you're two superpowered folkens in their barely 20's off saving the world every day, you've got no time to worry about relatives. You just gotta hold that special someone close and keep going forward.

Aah, yes. The difference between dreams and reality. Ginrei and I was a dream. Me still writing and daydreaming? That's the reality.

I'd like to think there's a place for you and Sarah in my visions yet. And if you're willing...I'd love to have a place in your hearts as well.

Anyhow. I'd best get back to my writing. I'm feeling especially productive today...Seeing as I picked up Blast Corps at Comic City yesterday (Old N64 game) and blowed up many buildings. Destruction done!

NOW TO BUILD!
