Yes, as the title of this says, I still live. Been working and taking care of college stuff as well as living (or at least attempting to) a small social life. What to update on...

For those of you that are gamers, I hope you picked up a copy of Dawn of War 2. I just did and am enjoying it slowly. Think I'm mission 3 or 4 right now. Not real far in, but haven't really been trying to play it much. I like the set up and idea, no more base management and it's now all up to managing a few squads of men with specialties like heavy weapons or melee or stealth... Keeps you more in game and fast paced rather than having to spend over 20 or more minutes getting a perfect base with managing an econ then spamming the field with tanks... *cough cough CNC 3 cough* It's a good thinker cause you'll need to plan before and during the mission play. And no, I have nothing against cnc 3. Just a bit annoying to get your base overrun in 15 minutes with 20 or more tanks and you're still getting use to it all. If you want more detail, go look at a review.

I do have a meeting at work coming up and it's not going to be a pretty one from what I heard. It's actually in the morning at 9. *groans* Doesn't help I'll have to stay and more than likely work with the manager after she chews us up. Oh well... Life goes on, I guess.

And for the lack of updates and uploads, I do apologize. I'm loading something that I think might catch a few of you with interest. If not, meh... I like it.

Think that's all. Hope to hear from you all... all two or three of you... I think...

Dang... It's really been a while since I've updated or anything. Busy with college and working myself to death for a dead end job.... That's gotta change.

Any who, for the... um... 2?... 3 maybe?... that actually read or look at this here's an update. Classes are coming to a close, which means finals and crazy hectic-ness for me at the moment. I have four finals and three of them are in one day. Luckily, two of those finals aren't really required... let me explain: Final 1 that's not required is a take home final that I've already got done the day I received it and I need to hand it in at the time the final was suppose to take place. Final number 2 that doesn't count is philosophy cause I have a high enough grade that I won't have to take it, but will have to do a smaller part of it; the take home final 2 page essay on my own philosophy (which I was wanting to write and may post later). The only final that day will be on Western Civilization, mainly on the age of exploration and whatnot.

The one other final will be on my Intro to Literature class. And I'm sorry for any fans of the class or even to all the writers and poets and the such, but I effing hate that class with the burning vengeance of 10,000 bursting supernovas compiled to a singularity cell with a exponent of 20 billion. So yeah.... 8 o'clock morning class + reading mainly of morbid stuff + teacher that "goes over things" after a daily test that really only asks us what we thought of them = previous statement.

Work is worse cause were are originally 3 people down and now are down another 2 cause one more quit and another is too sick and needs a doctor's note to get back to work. -_- I love that job so much it'll kill me.

Played Red Alert 3 to the point of almost beating it completing it. Have one more mission solo and only a few maps to beat to truly have "beaten" the game. By the way, co-op with a friend in campaign is a hella lot harder than solo. I give it a pretty good rating, cause I'm a huge fan, but still holding out for StarCraft 2. It's my fanbase of choice. And has fewer calories! (bad joke)

And lastly, I hadn't gotten a chance to read much of deviations or journals and discovered I was tagged in one journal. So, here's that and the end of the journal.

Time for an update, I guess. Um, let's see.... I have midterms coming up thurs and some tues next week. Yay for me.... -_-

Red Alert 3 is getting closer to being mine too. *squees* Shut up. Don't judge me. I can quit anytime. Step yelling at me!!!

And uh.... *whistles* not sure what else. Guess I'll end here then.

Alright..... um.... what to write...

First off, let me introduce myself. I'm revellwarrior.... least on here I am. Not sure on how all this is suppose to work since I just joined. I like to say that I'm a writer, but I don't do much often. Mainly cause I work and go to college. I do some research too, so least I get something done in my lazy time...... partially.

Expect slow, trickling of stories and such to pop on. I have a few works done, but I don't want to throw them all up at once and then not have anything for a while.

I'm mainly doing this for seeing how well my writings are and weather or not people like them. So.... ego boost away, please.

And since I'm new, please be patient as I learn some of the basics and get to modding the profile and such to a degree of decency.... please be patient, in other words.

Hope everyone will enjoy the writings I put up. I'm a horrible artist, but I know Ivory Byrd has some really good tallent. She sometimes on request will draw stuff for me, so take a look at her page sometime.
