February 2nd was my twenty-fourth birthday.

Woo-flippity-hoo, I suppose.

To be honest, I really didn't feel all that excited about it. For me, it was just another day, I suppose. I went to class, I hung around my little apartment, watched TV, and went out for dinner at this really good Italian place near the campus. That was about the extent of it. No real big deal.

I actually liked it. It's nice to have a relatively quiet birthday every so often. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a cake I need to have another slice of...

Hey guys. It's me again. I'm logging from my parent's house in northeast Texas, and it looks like we're in the path of the big band of red and yellow.

Now hopefully, most of the storm's wrath will be blunted by the time it reaches us, but we'll probably lose power thanks to the high winds. It probably won't be as bad as everyone thinks, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Wish me luck.

GYGAX IS DEAD!
HE IS NO LONGER HERE!
BUT ON MY SHEET
AND IN MY DICE
HE CONTINUES TO LIVE ON!
I SHALL ROLL THE DICE WITH HEAVEN
AND IF THOSE DICE DECLARE MY DOOM
I WILL BE HAPPY TO PLAY!

Rest in Peace, Gary Gygax. You will be missed.

I'm sure a lot of you are aware of the incident recently, where a Siberian tigress got out of its enclosure, attacked and killed a guy that was taunting it, then proceeded to hunt down the other two down, prior to being shot. Now, just so you know, this is my opinion. Flame me if you like, but don't bother trying to 'correct' my opinion. No snappy soundbite or quote will change it.

My opinion:

The idiots got what they deserved.

I'm sorry, but the amount of sympathy I have for the guys couldn't fill a pixel on your computer monitor. In fact, I have more sympathy for the tiger than I do the humans. If you think it's a fan-dabby-fabulous idea to get that close to the enclosure, after doing your best to get past the safeguards designed to prevent such a thing, and taunt a very large carnivorous feline, then you deserve to get eaten. I'm glad his stupid ass is removed from the gene pool. I'm not going to ask 'What were they thinking,' because I'm reasonably sure they weren't.

Sometimes I think the only reason our species has lasted this long is because the idiots end up killing themselves.

Hello everyone, and welcome to my little corner on DA. Sorry I haven't posted any journals, I've junda been at a loss for things to say.

My name is Yurie. This little gallery is where I'll post art that's been given to me (with permission, of course) as well as the stories I write. Yes, I'm a writer, not an artist. I suck at drawing.

Feel free to comment on naything in my gallery, just be nice, alright? And please, no spam. Spam me, and I'll bite you.

Happiness,
