The Koga needs somewhere to vent, and he's got nowhere else to go..
First off, there was this cute Wiccan girl he was gonna' ask out, (she's friends with one of The Koga's friends..) and she dissapears! Not really ceartain if she ran away or what, she just dissapeared. WTF..
Secondly, his bestest friend started hanging with the wrong crowd and started doing drugs, we're messed up enough as it is, we don't need any help. XP But it's brought about a civil-war between friendships, And The Koga is now seen as the "dellussional optimist" that Peter will get through this and he has to do it when he's ready..
Third he's moving, and though it's a nice house, in a quite country nieghborhood like when he was a wee ninja, it's fairly stressful moving..
Fourth, he hasn't had contact with actual PEOPLE in about.. four months..
And now to top everything off he's lost his privlages to post at WOTC forum! Blargh! (You know, would it kill people to send you an email, or a private message before-hand, or something to show they're upset or something? -_ -;; )
Guess this means The Koga will be hanging out around here alot more often, lucky you guys.. : P *Waits for a riot to start and someone to catch on fire*
Feel free to vent yourself, The Koga is here to share your pain! (Because really, what else is he going to do? XD )
Koga: I don't know much about girls, or the occult, but it seems perfectly normal that when you combine the two then something dramatic, like disappering, would be a fairly predictable result. Not that I'm a number cruncher, either.
And I am sorry about your friend; and about the WoTC (you still have ENWorld and here!); and hope you enjoy living out in the countryside. Goats make fun pets and cheap, effecient, enviroment friendly lawnmowers, and chickens eat ticks. Good luck!
Wow, Koga. A lot seems to be going down at once for ya! I can particularly identify with the friend who fell in with the wrong crowd, but after a couple of years of being the "Delusional Optimist", it finally paid off. So hang in there and don't give up the good fight!
Well, he's back again, and he's got some good news, and some bad news..
#1: The bad news is we're having trouble selling the house, which means, The Koga might be sleeping at Aunt Dee's for awhile. (Atleast she has an unlimited supply of diet soda lol..)
#2: The bad news is they found Pete after he ran away. How is this bad news? Cause they found him dead. He died of heroine overdose.
The good news is, The Koga just saved a bunchof money on his car insurance by switching to Geico. XP
lol, Melaine and his parents are setting the funeral arrangments, they're taking it alot worse then The Koga, mostly because Melaine was his best friend also but a girl, (and girls tend to be more emotional) and his parents had no idea, being uber Christians, you don't expect that sortof thing lol.. Also The Koga tends to be aloof about everything, and he gets content that the last time he talked to Pete was relatively friendly, it was along the lines of "Nobody understands me!" And The Koga just nodded and rolled with it, because he was like "menh, this'll all blow over eventualy.."
Can't always be right. XD
He'll ask Melaine for that pic again of Pete, it's one of his best ones, The Koga might have it on his PC he's not sure, anyway, it's kindof sad cause that was a very good picture of him and then..
Koga: Is that..
Melaine: Yes, that's a joint in his hand.. -_ -;;
What sucks most of all was Pete was a good minion! His other minions suck! Stupid teenage n00bs who simply want to dry hump mailboxes or whatever. You can't get minions like Pete nowadays. xP
also The Koga isn't particualrly happy about this news story: Because of Tom Cruise, that episode of South Park where Tom Cruise won't come out of the closet (litteraly) will never be aired again, nor released on the dvd set!
Had The Koga known this he would've taped that sucker and sold bootleg copies! Another evil plot foiled!
Ehh.. guess that's all there is to rant about now.. less you count how The Koga has gas, but that's kindof typical.. :P
That has got to be the suck. I'm sorry to hear that things have been rough for you lately. I'd say look on the bright side, but we know how allergic ninjas are to light!
Ahem. Yes.
As for the WotC boards... I'm rather glad I can't access them from work. I never really find anything useful on them, unless I'm looking for trolls and flamebait. Make Mine Paizo! (Or should that be Make Mine Mona?) =)
I remember my father's wise decision to redesign my house when I was in high school. Nothing says "don't bring girls over to the house" like sleeping on a couch for a few months while the PU worked on my bedroom. Men and their distaste for contractors, why?
Wow; and I thought last week for me was bad; it was total yuck; but sheesh; talk about perspective; I havent had a bad week like Koga in thankfully a long time; perservere, man, just perservere.
Sorry about your friend, life is harsh enough without alot of this peripheral bs thrown in, as for WotC alot of people on that site seem to be reactionary children(especially the C.O. boards), but you gotta keep your head up, and let the S#!t roll off your back. Trust me, as someone who lost more people in the past year than should be possible considering I am not even 30(and I do not know a bunch of oldfolks), the insanity we call life marches on.
Hey Koga, really sorry about the awful run you've had. I haven't been here for tons of time, but enough to get kinda' attached to your ninja self. This whole forum is really great and it's cool to see them coming out of the woodwork when you need them. I guess the best thing you can have when things get tough are friends, and you've got a lot. Anyhow I hope things start to turn around for you soon. Take care.
My condolences, man. A bad way to lose a good friend, errr... minion.
The Koga, The Lobster understands (The Lobster would be my pseudonym, used to terrorize those not hip to my vegetarian agenda; and terrorized they shall be!). The Lobster has had friends die in car crashes (drugs and alcohol related, of course, but with vehicular issues included) and two suicides last year alone. And many other people The Lobster knew in high school haven't gone out in such dramatic fashion, but instead linger on in a drugged up haze to reappear randomly in The Lobsters' social circle during time home from college and remind me why the D.A.R.E program ultimately was right about that drug use nonsense. The Lobster will remind you that there are lots of people out there that you haven't even met with yet who may, after an interview of course, become vital cogs in your evil machinery of evilness.
The Lobster would also like to say Stay In School! Dope is for Dopes! Tobacco is Whacko for Teens! Also, THAC0 is Whacko for Teens! And if someone wants you to dress up like a dragon so they can rub up against you while they're dressed as a bear, politely decline!
Cant believe the booted you from the wizards boards! Man. That sucks.
I'm new on the boards here, but I couldn't help but feel for you when I read your post. That seriously blows. I am a card carying member of the delusional optimists club and you are welcome to it. It's not the easy path, but it is the most rewarding in the end, so don't give up! PS. Try not to worry to much about the chick. Understanding weomen is like understanding the Cthulu mythos, the more you understand the more insane you become. There are always more fish in the sea.
Hope things get better for you.

Been there, dude.
Don't want to get into details, but I found one of my really good friends dead about a year and a half ago. He was in his forties, had diabetes, didn't show up at work or call in, so I went over to his house because diabetes ain't a joke, and there wasn't anything anybody could do but call the morgue.
You're in shock for a few days, you're bummed for a while, and the inevitabilities of life eventually bring you around to going on with the business of living. The 1st anniversary was a real bummer, that whole week was a downer. Something about anniversaries really dredge feelings and emotions up.
I don't know where you're at in your head, but if you feel bad you should definitely avail yourself of counselors at school, or a religious leader, or I don't know, but there's people you can talk to, who are trained to deal with this kind of thing. Couldn't hurt, right?
