Wolf's Den

Well I'm back from another long break from this, just graduated High School. No esteemed facial expression overtook me either when I walked out of that building for the last time. There was nothing there, I just took my book-bag and gym assortments and walked out. . I don't feel …

For lulz, this blog will be uncensored and I will never press the backspace key.

Today for Mother's day I went out for sushi at Kobe. We did teppanuakio at a grill. It was fun because there were a lot of people rather than the few that were there last …

writing is fun (and such)

Posted by MahFreenAmeh on May 13, 2012, 4:57 p.m.

They left me with nothing but a piece of paper. Fuck if I could read it in the state I was in. Truth be told, fuck if I even wanted to read it; all I could focus on was a deep pain up the side of my head. Ever had …

I'm dead

Aka no wifi.

Also, my laptop won't stop overheating and bluescreening so I sent it in to Best Buy… it's going to take 2-3 weeks to get it back. I would have tried to fix it, but it would void warranty and if it's something I COULDN'T fix, I'd be …

...Dosage Check

Posted by Ronnica on May 11, 2012, 8:55 p.m.

I was born on a world not too far away from this one, in a science facility where they test massive dosages of “brain enhancementsâ€? to human subjects. They said when I was birthed, I was wide awake and alert, not making a sound. My brown eyes glazed over with …
