Lil' Scaredy Night Owl

So, I've always been more of a night owl than a morning bird, though I'm not grumpy in the mornings either. I woke up for the day shift at my work for the whole month of May at 4:30am without one single problem. In fact, my parents were quite proud of me for being mature enough to get up on my own. I always thought that was a given (lol). I guess its just because my brother was really bad at getting up early/on his own, so of course NATURALLY I should be too right? Hah, NOPE.

Anyway, I've found it to be relatively easy to completely switch my schedule around for nights. I even stay up until 6:00am every day that I'm off too, but I'd try to do that when I wasn't working hah. Best part is, my parents can't say a thing about me staying up late! They'd always get mad at me for staying up super late, even on weekends, but now I'm like 'Yussssss, perfect excuse!' I also moved downstairs into my brother's old room, and now they can't even hear me so I don't need to worry about waking them up. (Unless I start screaming because I'm playing Metro 2033... lol)

Speaking of which, I've been trying to get up the nerve to begin recording a lets play series, or really just recording me playing anything in general. It honestly shouldn't be SO freaking hard for me, y'know? I'm hilarious(sometimes), and I talk a lot(around certain people), and I have the equipment to record. And yet, I'm completely dragging my feet. Of course, working for 12 hours a day, four to five days a week doesn't give me too much time until I'm off, and my internet is so bad I think it would take hours for render and upload...but I'm totally just being lazy..

Basically what I'm getting at is: Would any of you be interested in a video or two of me randomly playing a scary game or two? I'm not saying it's going to happen right away or anything, but it may in the future. Honestly, if you've been in a party while I've played a scary game it is one of the absolute funniest things you will ever hear (so I've been told anyway.) The only scary games I have are F.E.A.R 2 and Metro 2033 anyway, and yes I know some may not think those are scary but to me, they're terrifying lol! Also, the only time I'll have to play them will be after dark so that ought to be hilarious.

Anyway, I better wrap this up before y'all get bored. One last thing I'm going to mention is a dual comm I did the other day with mah buddy Adam! We just basically talked about E3 stuff and the new consoles. If you're interested just click here and watch the glorious-ness unfold! You should totally follow Adam on twitter as well ;) @adam7986

Have a goodnight guys and Happy Gaming!

Growin' On Up In The World

Well, its been about two months so I thought I'd check in with all y'all! :)

Things in my life are a bit different nowadays. I'm actually not going to return to university in the fall as was originally planned. Instead, I think I shall stick around my hometown and work for a year. I may decide to return in a years time, but I just don't believe university is right for me at this point. I wasn't fully committed as I should have been, and spent way too much time playing xbox... I know, not surprising. My grades were never good, and I ended up getting put on academic probation. Don't worry, it sounds worse than it is. A.P just means they are restricting the amount of classes I can enroll in to three rather than five, and I am required to take a course titled Student Success Program. I've actually already completed that course, so I wouldn't be required to do it again. If I were planning to go back, I could attempt to appeal my probation and get four courses rather than three, but meh. No need.

What other random information could I put in here to overload your brains... AHA! My job.
So I get home from UNI on April 20th right? Next day, first full day I'm at home, what do my parents do? Jump on my back about me getting a job. I honestly couldn't even enjoy ONE day at home just resting. Needless to say, I ended up going job hunting; I found a job in a record four days, and started April 27th. I worked for the whole month of May I worked 12 hour shifts four days on, four days off from 6am - 6pm. Sounds rough right? Well, now that I've been trained on days, I'm switched to nights, as I was hired for the night shift. Now I work from 6pm - 6am. I'm actually really enjoying working the night shift; there are a lot less customers, I can work at my own pace and I don't have any superiors hovering around my head. That, and half the time I'm literally just sitting on my laptop doing nothing. Right now I'm sitting here staring at my laptop and grinning like an idiot because I'm trolling Adam on Google docs! xD Too funny!

Anyway, so they had this event in the town where I live called the Relay For Life. Its where you walk around a track all night in support of cancer research. I used to have a team way back when with my family, but now they are getting older so they stopped putting the team together. This year I didn't go with a team, but I did hang out with a couple friends all night ^_^ One I hadn't really spoken to in person since September 2011. It was a great night and I'm so glad I went! I was up all night just talking to one in their vehicle. I didn't have a place to sleep, and I had to drive someone home in the morning so I couldn't really go home either. All in all it was a good night!

I feel like I should really put something else in this post.. I have a lot of lost time to make up for. I suppose I could explain my major absence from Xbox live in the past two months. So remember how I moved back from university on April 20th? Well, I live on a mountain, and because I live on a mountain I get absolutely horrid internet connection. Due to that connection, I have been virtually unable to play any online games, and often am unable to stay in a party. It is extremely frustrating and problematic. I even invested in an updated router but that didn't do much for me. My long term plans are to earn enough money to rent an apartment somewhere in town for a reasonable amount per month, and have a stable internet connection in said apartment. I now have a car, so living on my own is starting to seem a little more reasonable!

Well, I've wasted enough of your time, so I'll let you go on your merry way! Have an excellent night and kick some butt on CoD for me! ;)

To Eat or Not To Eat; that is the question

Hey there!

I'd like to take a second just to thank each and every one of you for coming here, to my blog and checking out a few stories about my life! Some are amusing, some are just downright depressing. But still, thank you :)

Okay, sappy stuff is out of the way! Here I am, sitting at my computer desk in my dorm room, wondering what I should do:

• Possibly finish writing over chemistry notes like I have been already? Naw.

• Maybe begin studying for the biology exam this Tuesday? Nah, not that either.

• Wait... should I continue packing to go home and cleaning the dorm? Nerp.

• OH! I know! Writing the final paper for Women Studies that's due next Thursday?! Oh..nope, not that either.

I've got a problem guys...I'm hungry. I don't know about any of you guys, but when I'm hungry, that is LITERALLY the only thing I can think of. I can't simply work through it, it's just a menacing presence that won't go away until I shove food into my mouth. I'm also very weak willed when it come to food... if I have just barely enough money to buy a pizza...I'll do it, rather than saving it for something a little more...long lasting.

Even as I sit here typing on this blog, I feel my stomach growling and all I can think is "mmmmmm...pizza hut...." I know, I know. I'm terrible. But meh, what can I say? I'm in university and am actually within delivery distance. Why not take advantage of that while I can, eh?

Anyway, before I cut off this lively blog post, give me a moment for some shameless self promoting:

• I've recently begun posting on my tumblr, which I believe I've had for quite a while... But anyway, if you're interested in MLP, Gaming, Funny stuff or Wolves, you'll love mah Tumblr :') I named it after this blog after all! Silence Is My Oasis
• Ladies 2 Die 4 now have a brand new website dedicated to bringing you all sorts of gaming news and reviews, so be sure to check it out here! I've got a few articles on there as well ;)
• If you're interested in either finding me on twitter or facebook, feel free! I'm always open to making a new friend or two!

Okay, okay. I'm done. Have an awesome April 4th everyone!

Forever Alone? More like Forever Betrayed.

I don't know about any of you, but I never considered that maybe my standard for how a friend should treat me may just be too high for the average person.

I came here, to my university, last September, to make a new life for myself. The last month of my high school experience was one one of the most lonely times of my life. A close friend of mine was dying, and actually had several times. He had been resuscitated many times and I'm sure as you can imagine, I was extremely torn up. I was, as would be expected, very depressed and withdrawn that week. But, instead of asking me what was wrong and trying to help me, they turned their backs on me. They just randomly stopped sitting with me at lunch, leaving me completely alone. I was alone for the last month of high school, dealing with friend's illness, dealing with the loneliness and betrayal I felt. I wouldn't do something like that to any friend of mine... it's just so hard for me to understand their reasons.

I was hoping to find a new group of friends, people who would truly care about me. At first, I thought I had; they were nice, we went shopping and to the movies, actually did things together... But I lived in a separate dorm, the more expensive dorm. My four friends lived in the other. I didn't expect this would be a problem. I mean...how difficult is it to send me a text message saying: 'Hey, we're going ____, would you like to join us?' But it is.

I am the type of person who will always wait for you to get your things before leaving for class; miss the bus and catch the next one with you just because you weren't able to make it on time; make a late night run to Burger King JUST because you asked me to and didn't want to go alone. I consider these people my best friends, only real friends on the island actually, and yet I don't believe they feel the same way about me. I've done all of the things I just mentioned, and even more... and yet they've done the opposite of each one. They've left me scrambling to get my things because they've left me behind; they left me stranded, waiting for the next bus because they didn't want to miss THAT bus; they've refused to join me in going even just across the street, and yet expect me to go when they ask me at 11:30pm.

One of my friends didn't come back after Christmas break, so now I was down to just three friends. I thought hey, maybe they'll start treating me like more of a friend now that I wouldn't be the 'fifth wheel'. I was wrong. Once, I had sent a text to each one of them separately, asking if they would accompany me to Burger King which is actually visible from their dorm room window. The first came up with a decent excuse: 'I'm studying biology right now, sorry!' The second came up with literally the most bullshit excuse I have EVER heard: 'I've had a lot of burgers recently and I don't really feel like eating any burgers for a while.' At first my reaction was disbelief; burgers are not the only damn thing they sell. Then the third friend messages me back: 'Yeah, sure! Meet me in five minutes.'

Obviously, I was quite happy. Someone had finally agreed to accompany me! I get ready and head down to meet her. Low and behold, ALL of them were there, including the liar who said she didn't feel like eating a burger. I couldn't believe it, it felt like she had lied straight to my face, like she didn't want to go alone with me. It pissed me off because literally every single time they've asked me to go anywhere I've agreed and gone whether I've had the money to or not.

Now, I'm not unreasonable. I know that sometimes they really are busy, whether they have a class in 20 minutes or they're completing an assignment due the next day. I understand things like that, but when they exclude me from BIRTHDAY plans.... I honestly don't understand. Right now, as I'm writing this, they're over in their dorm getting drunk. The girl who didn't come back after Christmas break? She's here, right now, over there with them. She even posted a status saying she would be here this weekend, with 'the girls' and tagged every single one of them but me. Now isn't that just great.

Now I'm sure some of you are thinking, 'Man, this girl is making a mountain out of a mole hill.' Fortunately for you, you don't know just how much bullshit I put up with in my every day life. Both online and in the 'real world.' My best friend is someone who isn't even in my country, and I would trust him with my life. And yet, I can't even trust the friends I've met to wait for me before leaving for the bus. Something in my life is going to change, and real soon.

Another Blog With A Boring Title

Hello everyone! Having an excellent Tuesday, I hope! :)

So, for one of my classes the professor puts up a video, often a TED talk, that we need to watch and comment on every week. This week was a video of a man named Matt Cutt. His topic was on trying something for 30 days at a time, and referenced the movie Super Size Me. I had never really thought about it before; trying something, maybe just something small, for just 30 days.

I've tried saying 'Okay, I'm going to work out for one hour every day!' Well....that never works for me. I lose interest in MANY things very quickly. For example, writing this blog every day.. I did fairly well in 2011, I believe the bulk was in March of that year. But, I always get bored of it! For me, something like say...working out everyday is too much for me. I need small little baby steps in order to actually accomplish my goal.

Alright, alright. I'll get to my point. I haven't exactly decided what I want to do for 30 days just yet, but I'll figure it out I'm sure. I was thinking of something like taking a picture every day, but I tried that around Christmas and lasted literally three days. I could do something like writing over all my notes every day after class...but I basically already do that. If you have any suggestions for me, just either comment here, or maybe message me on Facebook.

I know I mentioned Les Misérables the other day, but I honestly CANNOT get that dang movie out of my head! I think why I'm so attached to the movie is the fact that instead of recording an album and then lip singing two months later while they're filming, they are actually singing the whole thing live. I suppose I just respect them all for their talent! It is honestly astonishing, and I really do recommend it to everyone. It should still be in theatres, and if it is not then please, rent or buy it when it comes out. :)

Welp, that's enough out of me! x) Don't forget to check out my beautiful ladies sometime, and show your support! Just post a comment on our wall, it could be about absolutely anything! :) I look forward to seeing you there! ;3

Toodles!

P.S - I'll just leave this here... ;)

Another Day In The Life Of Silent Rose

Good afternoon! It is 12:15 pm on a lovely Monday morning, and I find that this Monday may not be as terrible as I had assumed during the previous week.

Apparently I received a call around 3:00pm on Friday afternoon last week.Of course, I was away all afternoon and I was not aware of said call until about the same time the next day. I realized that I had a voice mail, and when I checked that voice mail...well. You wish you could have been there to experience my excitement.

Back before I left to go home for the holidays, my school had a contest to win an Xbox 360. I had $100 of 'free' money so to say, and in order to enter, you just had to buy a bottle of Mountain Dew(which I needed the double XP for halo anyway..) and any bag of chips. So, day after day, I bought said items and entered a ballot. I entered soooo many times. Well, turns out that payed off as that voice mail was women confirming that I had WON that Xbox 360!!! I jumped off my bed and did a little fangirl squeal.. I'm expecting her to call again and you can be assured that I am VERY excited :3

Okay, new topic! So I went skating last night with my friends; something I have been looking forward to for over a week now. I was thinking, 'Hey, I haven't been skating for a few years now..but how hard can it be, right?' Wrong. As I've been telling absolutely everyone..I have about as much balance as a new born fawn. I fell twice, and I'm pretty sure I strained a few muscles in my lower back. BUT. I had fun and I may be doing it again here next week! Practice makes perfect as Mason always says :3

Alright, so I think I mentioned before that I have recently received three games: Red Dead Redemption, Skyrim, and Dishonored. Well, maybe not but I did now. So, I played Red Dead once before, and actually beat the story line which is honestly amazing to me. I've really hit it off with Skyrim, though I wasn't positive I would. I wasn't a fan of Oblivion at all, but Skyrim seems different somehow. But, on to the third game of the bunch: Dishonored. I've heard mixed views on this game; some say it is extremely fun, and I should most definitely play it. Others say that it is extremely hard and due to the fact that the whole game is basically about sneaking, I wouldn't like it. Though, I do have it on the *easiest* difficulty and thus far it has peaked my interest. I plan to play more soon and I think I will enjoy it. Of course, I can't be absolutely positive, but I'm about 89% sure ;)

One last thing I'd like to mention: She Devil from our clan Ladies 2 Die 4 has recently posted an article about the DayZ Standalone Release Date. You should definitely check it out! :)

And thus, once again, I have finished another blog post. If you've enjoyed what you've read so far, then please, share my blog and get it out there so other people can read it too! :) Thanks so much to everyone else who has viewed my blog and shared it as well! Alright, I'm off now! Hope you all enjoy this beautiful Monday.

Fus Ro D'aww

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been posting the last couple days. I honestly meant to, but between school work and attempting to deal with a few personal problems.. I've just been a wreck. Some things are somewhat resolved now, others..not so much. But, like I said, I'm going to post about Skyrim today.

So my friend Dustin got me Skyrim for Christmas this year, and I remember when I played Oblivion I absolutely HATED it >->. BUT. I actually REALLY enjoy Skyrim O.O Literally the first thing I did was go to Whiterun and join The Companions. For those of you who haven't played Skyrim and have no idea what I'm taking about..well, I began my quest to become a Werewolf ;)

You guys probably know just how much I love wolves and werewolves in general, but I LURV being a werewolf in Skyrim xD So much fun. But, anyway. So, I'm a High Elf warrior and I use both One-Handed weapons and magic when I fight. Absolutely love it haha.

Anyway, moving on. So yesterday my friends and I went shopping, and I never actually bought anything which kinda actually sucks x| -- but, we decided to go see a movie. It took us literally forever to choose what movie, because I wanted to either see Django Unchained or The Hobbit, and my friend Al 2 (I'm Al 1;) wanted to see This Is 40. But I was like ehhhhh.... -_-. So eventually we all agreed on Les Miserables and Oh My Word... it was an excellent decision. Les Miserables is an AMAZING movie, so moving. It actually made me cry. A lot. Which is kinda weird for me but the movie was so incredibly sad and heartfelt. I'm getting teary eyed just thinking about it.. :'). But, anway... lol.

So something kinda weird/awesome happened last night. I was playing a little HC SnD, when I randomly got into a match and started playing with a couple guys who sounded pretty chill. So of course when I ended up at the top of the lobby they were like 'Dude..we just got our asses beat by a girl.' Pretty common remark, wouldn't you say? I was intrigued so I checked out their bio's and discovered that they were from the same town I grew up in. I was like O.O no way. So I just casually asked them where they were from and when they told me I was like 'No way! Me too! :3'. They didn't believe me and when I told them my name they were like O.O omg. I laughed so hard lol I had graduated with them both last year, and all three of us are in different provinces at the moment. We ended up playing until like 2 in the morning but it was a good time :)

Alrighty, I've said what I wanted to say and now.. I leave you with my Skyrim pony ;) Enjoy!

Happy Gaming!

To say or not to say

Hello once again, my lovelies! Here I am..posting again.. lol. Amazing isn't it? But I'm sure I'll be bored by this time next week. I don't know, right now I just feel like expressing myself, the thoughts just swirling around in my head..

Of course, some things that I want to get out on the screen, I can't for fear that the one person it involves will KNOW I'm talking about them. You know what I mean? But it bothers me, a whole hell of a lot.. We've talked about it before, but I got really upset and things didn't really get resolved. Very unfortunate. Things don't really seem to be working out recently, which pisses me off. But whatever! New topic! :D

I guess I'll just start venting on here lol that's what blogs are for, right?!
Nope. Well, not for me. Not solely anyway. Right now I wanna talk about that ONE thing but UGH I can't.. Although I doubt they'd be reading this anyway..

So my biology professor, Dr. Kemp started talking about how he grew up in a VERY religious home, and he was completely against evolution until he went to university and began taking Biology courses. So now, like many other people, he believes evolution and everything. He said that he will never say there isn't a God because c'mon, does he really have a right to completely deny you what you believe? No, those are your beliefs, and no one can tell you otherwise.

I really like that about him. I, personally, am more on the side of evolution. I believe that we all started as tiny little microrganisms, then evolved into chimps, then into what we are today over billions of years. If you want to believe in God, feel free, I am ALL for it! :)

Of course, you'll request that I respect your religion, maybe even try it. And of course I'll respect it, I have no right to tell you what to believe in. BUT, please don't ask me to try to believe in religion and God, if you won't even begin to think about trying to accept evolution, and say it didn't happen. Don't completely disregard what I believe in, then expect me to accept religion. That just seems so freaking disrespectful to me, you know?

Anywho... away from any sort of talk of religion...lol. Lets talk about PONIES! :D
More specifically, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. I love that shit. Its so adorable x) I have an awesome picture here that crosses Halo 4 and MLP and I just love it!
I mean look at that!! That is intense ;)

Anyway, I'm all typed out, so I'll just leave you here with my awesome pony! Happy Gaming everyone!

One year Later...

So, it has come to my attention that I haven't actually posted on here for a little over a year... Say What? That is just a little crazy, I mean look at the effort I put in to this blog? Over 1.8 K views?! I'm a little shocked honestly.

So hey, listen. I know I ALWAYS say "Oh hey! I'm going to start posting again!!! YAY!'. But no. Not this time. I probably won't be posting, and if you don't want to keep checking me out, then hey, feel free not to. I don't always have something to say anyway. But, I might as well update you on my life, right?

• I'm now 18 years old, and in my second semester of University. (Canadian university btw)

• I have a boyfriend, Sasha, whom I love very much :)

• I moved to a new province to begin my university experience, and so far I'm really enjoying it! :)

• I am still with Ladies 2 Die 4 (yes, please check us out, we have over 8.2K likes on our Facebook page so far and counting!) I've been with my ladies for almost three years and I absolutely love them :) We've got some great gaming content on the way, as well as more of those awesome contests we enjoy so much!
• I still have Casper, my amazingly cute kitten :3 But he has to stay at home because I'm in residence :'( As well as Daisy. I miss them both very much, but I'll see them again in April! :)

Okay, so one more thing I'd like to mention:
I am currently taking a couple courses that I am quite interested in, and I may share a few of my sources or readings with you if I see fit. To start with, read the comments left on this product from Amazon.com. Simply HILARIOUS. Gotta love those trolls, eh?
Bic Pens for HER

Alright, I'm typing this as I wait for my final class of the day so bare with me here! lol
Okay so I said I wouldn't say it but I will anyway.... I'm going to post more. There. I said it. Please don't hate me when I undoubtedly go back on that.. I'm feeling up to it.. I mean look at all I've written so far! Haha. Okay guys, I hope you all had a lovely holiday and didn't get too too drunk on New Years lol
