silveradept...first things first, because my cute little thing says so, it's ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
laforce's birthday today! Go wish him happiness and such. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to wish it to him in person or over some better means than this today, but I hope the thought counts.
Roommate N and a friend (Fuji, by nickname) are downstairs playing Halo on Fuji's X-Box. And doing okay at it. Me? I'm kinda bored, almost. But almost... because not having employment is still a spur in my buttocks. I'm fluctuating between outright depression and insane anger. Kinda like the weather out here. It's been off and on between raging storms and peaceful clam/light rain.
I did sit down and watch What Dreams May Come today. It's a beautiful flick and it helped with the moodiness. Then again, I tend to get emotionally attached to movies and books and things like that. I hate to see series and stories end, if they're good. I get wrapped up with the characters and all that. Anyone else have that sort of problem, or am I just weird like that?
Back to the movie. Excellent, well done, superb. Worth the time (and the money) to have in your collection. If you haven't seen it yet, you should.
Not much else to report on this front, unless another storm front with tornado capabilities decides to drop in uninvited.

Name: Alex Byrne, Knight Commander Ivbalis
Sex: Male
Birthday: July 4, 1983
Sign: Cancer
Siblings: Three. One ainée, two cadets.
Hair color: Light-dependent. Ranges from brown to blonde.
Eye color: Hazel-green, depending no the amount of sleep I've had.
Height: Two meters, or just shy of it.
» « R E L A T I O N S H I P S » «
Who are your best friends?:welah, Mr. Howard the Duck (or Howard the Bandman). But there are sundry other friends, just not many "best" friends.
You have a boyfriend/girlfriend?: No. Not that my roommates aren't trying...
» « F A S H I O N S T U F F » «
Where is your favorite place to shop: I'm fairly utilitarian about clothing, but my best places to shop are bookstores, game shops and animation places.
Any piercings: Nope. And no plans for any.
» « S P E C I F I C S » «
Do you do drugs?: Ah, no.
What kind of shampoo do you use?: It really doesn't matter.
What are you most scared of?: Being alone, probably. Although falling from a great height ranks. As does dying.
What are you listening to right now?: Check my Current Music for that...
Who is the last person that called you?: Called for me? Uhh.... I don't remember. Mostly it's been for my roommates...
Where do you want to get married?: Somewhere beautiful. If it has to be a church, it had better be a pretty one.
What would you change about yourself?: No absentmindedness, a little more social confidence. Perhaps a bit more common sense, as well. I could use some of that.
» « F A V O R I T E S » «
Color: Silver (And that's not too much a surprise, right?)
Food: If it tastes wonderful, I remember it. If I remember it, I probably want to cook it at least once in my lifetime. So there are no favorites, only options.
» « H A V E Y O U E V E R » «
Given anyone a bath?: I have siblings. And I've babysat, so yes.
Smoked?: Not the cigarette or weed or anything like that. I have however, smoked a few roommates at fighting games...
Bungee jumped?: Nah. Would be interesting, but only if I could convince myself I had a very small chance of serious injury....
Made yourself throw up?: Occasionally. Sometimes something doesn't sit right, and you need a restful night's sleep, so I've willed myself to get rid of it.
Skinny dipped?: Yes. With people around, no less. But that's all you get to know.
Ever been in love?: With another person? Probably not. With books and stuff like that? Mor'an likely.
Made yourself cry to get out of trouble?: I don't think so. Usually, if I'm crying, I'm genuinely upset or aggravated. It's not trying to get out of anything.
Pictured your crush naked?: That would be assuming I had a crush.
Actually seen your crush naked?: See above.
Cried when someone died?: Almost every time. Relatives, friends, friends of friends, doesn't matter.
Lied: More than I like to admit.
Fallen for your best friend?: 'Fraid not..
Been rejected?: Yes. I can even claim the honor of having been rejected before I was able to ask.
Rejected someone?: That would be assuming that anyone had ever asked me.
Used someone?: I would hope not. I try to make genuine friends.
Done something you regret?: 20 years of them.
» « C U R R E N T » «
Clothes: Grey University of Michigan shirt, jean shorts, underclothing, socks.
Music: My WinAmp playlist. Anything from J-pop to hardcore techno to video game remixes, with occasional progressive rock stops along the way.
Hair: Fairly short, still. Nothing major.
Annoyance: Lack of employment. That would make my life much brighter if it would go away.
Smell: Hopefully neutral, if my deodorant is still working.
Desktop picture: Totoro, Totoro, Totoro, Satsuki, and Mei sitting on a tree branch.
Book you're reading: If manga counts, the last volume of Azumanga Daioh. If not, erm... my GRE for Dummies book, officially...

DVD in player: What Dreams May Come

You touched: I think I shook the hand of the Financial Aid guy I saw today...
Hugged: Mom.
You IM-ed: Ah... Dunno. Don' remember.
You yelled at: Myself. After all, there's nobody else to be mad at for anything.
You kissed: You know, I don't know. Probably a good thing, because it goes back into my past a ways.
» « A R E Y O U » «
Understanding: A little thick, somewhat eccentric of thought, but I like to believe I can understand.
Open-minded: I hope so. Although I'm never really sure that my upbringing isn't lying in wait, ready to spring on me.
Arrogant: Possibly. But I have no idea what image I project to other people.
Insecure: Part of my nature.
Random: Frequently.
Hungry: Not really. Had a good dinner.
Smart: Academically, I'd probably say yes. (A 3.85 cumulative GPA at U of M probably wants to scream it.) Otherwise, probably not.
Moody: Another part of my nature
Hard working: I'd like to think so. I do spend time on things I consider important.
Organized: If I had a picture of my desk, you would see why this question makes me laugh aloud.
Healthy: I hope so. Marching Band is strenuous, and so it requires at least decent health.
Shy: In unfamiliar territory, certainly. With some sort of familiar ground to negotiate, I'm much more open.
Difficult: Probably. I can be dense at times.
Attractive: I can't make a judgment call on that. I honestly don't know.
Bored easily: Yes. But only at things I don't want to do.
Responsible: Absentmindedness aside, I try to be.
Obsessed: Over some things.
Angry: If you piss me off.
Sad: At times.
Happy: When I'm not anything else.
Hyper: Sometimes. Depends on what I'm anticipating.
Trusting: Probably. I hold grudges a lot, though.

Sex it up with: pr0n stars, maybe?
» « R A N D O M » «
In the morning I am: difficult to get out of bed, but awake from there on out.
All you need is: enough to make you content.
Love is: beyond me right now, so I won't even try to describe it.
I dream about: Strange things. None of which I remember or seem to make sense, if the ramblings in my sleep that my roommates hear are true.
Sexual preference: Heterosexual.
What do you notice first in the sex you're into: Eyes. Captivating eyes are wonderful... but more generally, the head, including hair.
» « W H O » «

Makes you smile: lots of people.
Gives you a funny feeling when you see him/her: Which kind of funny feeling?

Save conversations: Only if it has something to do with a project or will be referenced later.

Wish you were younger: Nope.
Cried because someone said something to you?: Alla'time.
» « N U M B E R » «
Of times I have had my heart broken: None yet, but that's probably because I haven't had the opportunity yet.
Of hearts I have broken: None that I know of. Apologies to those I may have unintentionally shattered.
Of guys I've kissed: Zero. (American and straight. Neither cultural or sexual reasons to.)
Of girls I've kissed: Excluding family members? One, I think, but that was way back...
Of CD's I own: Probably close to sixty or more.
Of scars on my body: Less'n five, I think. That could change.
Of things that I regret: Plenty.
» « Y O U R T H O U G H T S » «

I want: peace, harmony, and contentment. Either that, or a benevolent dictatorship.
I have: stuff. Lots of stuff and clutter, some physical, lots mental.
I wish: that more people were tolerant.
I hate: bigots, racists, needless violence, and so on.
I fear: death, loneliness, not being remembered.
I hear: the echoes of the empty space.
I search: for things that I believe (likely mistakenly) that will lead to answers.
I wonder: whether or not Divinity intended for us to be this way.
I love? Do I?
