Dear Comrades and friends alike,

Firstly, Samantha, this journal is for you. You...always talk about me and you never seem to forget about me. It inspires me so much...how you always want people to know I'm still here, and that you seem to want everyone to know you love me. You...spoil me too much, Sam. So I hope this at least makes up for all the dead space I take up on DA.

I know I never update, I never post, I never comment, and I most certainly don't put up Journals. It seems to me that people on DeviantART post more journals than art, so I thought it might be great to update a little. See how many people even watch this lifeless page anymore.

I suppose first things first, how many people really do still watch me? Does anyone out there really like my art? Is there anyone that would like to see me come back? I've been steadily accumulated a ridiculous amount of art, but I've been really lazy putting them on the computer, let alone color.

Oh...by the way, I do color on the computer now. Alot. Just...throwing that out there.

Anyway, I kind of want to come back to DA. I've been much more creative sense my exile to the accursed South, and I feel more inclined to show my art to everybody. But...I feel like nobody really would care much, and that nobody watches this little page. Honestly, I don't want to be wasting anybody's time or mine. But...if there is somebody out there that really wants to see what my latest art, see how my skills have improved and all that, please comment. I would really appreciate to know if anybody is still out there. If not, I'm not terribly disappointed. I just thought this site has particular sentiment to me, and I should at least give it another chance, offer up something to it. Perhaps I just feel more lonely than usual, and I'd like to share my art again with the world. Or maybe I just really want to do something with Sammy. =3 Who knows.

On a personal note, I've been doing alot of different things lately. I've been reading alot more lately; short stories and histories for the most part, so my creative side is starting to stir, the desire to write beginning to come about again. I have literally dozens of stories that are begging to be written, and a dozen more that need more added to them. The truth is that most of the writings I have on DA are the worst I have to offer. They are just the ones I spent the most time on. I have so many little segments and scenes that I am so proud of, but they just...have no content to them. Maybe one day I'll post them.I've also been toying with writing a history from my, shall we say, unique perspective or even political essays. But with the current political climate, I don't know if that's the best thing or not.

Also, I think I should break the story here and now. I'm on World of Warcraft. I've been really apprehensive about getting on that game, because of all the things associated with it as well as it simply being such a popular game. Most popular games tend to be watered down by too many stupid fans, and so the game company can get away with releasing an inferior product. I have to say, WoW is nothing like that. I've fallen in love with it so badly, and all the stories and lore are just amazing. I'm actually a big Blizzard Fan, but when WoW first came out, I thought it was just a scam. How wrong I was...anyway, if anyone else out there plays, maybe want to quest with me or something, I'm always open to play. I'm only level 48, and I'm trying to make it to 55 so I can a Death Knight when the expansion comes out. Oh, and I'm a Demonologist Warlock. Warlocks...are the best.

I suppose I should end this Journal with a bit of a tribute to Samantha, sense she's really the person that inspired me to try and reach out to some old friends and post this. In truth, she's such a wonderful woman because she's helped me find myself, and helped me become confident in who I am. Anyone that dared read my older journal entries know how moody and emotional I can be, but Sam has really helped me come to terms with alot of issues I have, and has inspired me to both do more art, and to appreciate it much more than I did in the past. All I can hope for is that I make you proud, Samantha.


And so as a tribute to her, I give you...A TAGGED JOURNAL QUIZ THING!
~Basic~

2. Nickname: Roger...? I don't know, nobody refers to me by name much.
3. Birthday: July 27, 1988
4. Place Of Birth: A horrible dimension of horrors and powers not known by man! Unfortunately, I forgot most about it when I was teleported to your Earth.
5. Zodiac Sign: Leo. Meow.

7. Education: Complete knowledge of all things that are and will be.
8. Schools you went to: Schools in Florida, Germany, Nebraska and South Carolina.
9. Occupation: Currently unemployed, but only so I can help the weak and downtrodden! You could say, my occupation is being a hero.
10. Residence: The Swamp of Sorrows!
11. Screen Names: Jibbly, Agent-Mothman, and a few World of Warcraft identities.

~Your Appearance~
12. Hair Colour: Dark brown.
13. Hair Length: Very very short, I grew tired of long hair.
14. Eye colour: I've always thought they were a lovely shad of mud brown, but people still seem to be drawn to them.
16. Height: 6'0" but compared to some of the titanically tall guys I see, I feel short.
17. Braces?: I have no need for good teeth, you should concentrate on my words not my lips!
18. Glasses?: Of course. Glasses make you look smart, especially when you wear the kind Otakon from MGS wears, like I do. x3
19. Piercing: My body is a temple, I shall never deface it!
20. Tattoos: I'm too pale for any of it to look good!
21. Righty Or Lefty: Right Power.

~Your 'Firsts'~
22. First Best Friend: Hm...I would have to say my first best friend was a guy named Terry. He always cheated at Battleship. Just as all Best Friends do, right?
23. First Award: I have so few...but the first was for an essay I wrote as a kid, that I had to read to all the Officers and Generals of the base I lived on. What a great prize, don't ya think?
24. First Sport You Joined: ...Does professional hiding in your room for 3 hours trying to beat Bowser count?
25. First Pet: A stray black cat that I named "Black Cat," man I was a creative kid, that roamed around the neighborhood attacking kids. Cats make perfect assassins.

27. First Concert: . . .Man, you keep throwing all these questions at me that I don't have an answer for. I'm sorry, my life is boring.
28. First Love: Samantha, the first love to love me back~

~Favorites~
29. Movie: I have so many! Right now, I'd have to say its a tie between the Last Samurai and Star Trek: First Contact. Patrick Steward could kick Tom Cruises' ass any day, but could the Enterprise fight off an army of Samurai? I'm not so sure.
30. TV Show: I've grown disdained with the world of TV. Nobody is creative, and they've resorted to making cartoons of reality shows. Remember the days of the Super Mario Brothers Cartoon, the Zelda Cartoon ("WELL EXCUUUUUUUSE ME, PRINCESS!"), or G Gundam?
31. Color: Blood Red. Everyone loves black, but black is a color to hide behind, to try and make yourself more fearsome than you really are, black is the color of ignorance. Red is the color of valor, power, strength and bravery. Red is the sign of a true warrior.
32. Rapper: Oh, easily Peacey P! His new album drops this Sursdai, ya'll biscuit heads. (That was a poor joke, sorry.)
33. Band: Nine Inch Nails. I fell in love with Year Zero, I'm sorry all you diehard NIN Fans!
34. Song Right Now: Wo Bist Du, by Rammstein, has been, and forever shall be, my favorite song. It is Ape Law.
35. Friend: ...Does the cat that lives around my apartment count?
36. Candy: I would have to say...nothing. Chocolate hurts my teeth.
37. Sport To Play: The greatest sport known to man, World of Warcraft 2v2 Arena battles! BWAHAHAHAHA, fear my fears and nerdy references!
38. Restaurant: There was this really nice Chinese restaurant in the old town where I use to live, called the Jade Palace. Best Moo Goo Gai Pan in the world, and Samantha took me to eat there all the time! The last time I went, they already knew my order. XD
39. Favorite brand to wear: Brands? BRANDS!? You, fair quiz, have insulted me.
40. Store: I don't do much shopping anymore, but I do love going into Barnes and Nobles to read without paying.
41. School Subject: Why History of course! The only course you'll ever take where you can actually discuss with the teachers nowadays. English is a close second, but I dunt' has gooder grammers, none of thems.
42. Animal: Penguins are the brave watchers of the tundra, and the keepers of the snow. They stand, ever vigilant, to protect their life and love, their children and food, fighting against nature itself to simply exist! As you can see, I've seen March of the Penguins. Many times.
43. Book: I have so many...The Communist Manifesto, of course, is one of my favorites, please don't flame me over that, but I also love religious texts; the Bible, the Quran, writings of the Buddha and Confucius, and for fiction I loved The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and Star Wars books; my favorite Star Wars book is Tales of the Bounty Hunters, I loved IG-88 and Bossk's stories. Bounty Hunters rock.
44. Magazine: The only real magazines I read are stories about Mac or Apple stuff.
45. Shoes: Boots to march through the world, and stomp of the Demon Devils! Nothing less will due.

~Currently~
46. Feeling: Tired and in need of rest from school.
47. Single Or Taken?: Taken, I belong only to one girl, she's got me tagged!
49. Eating: Some pre-Halloween Reese's Cups. They hurt my teeth, but are soooo good! T.T
50. Drinking: Milk soothes the pain.
51. Typing: What am I NOT typing? Think about that one.
52. Online?: So long as I offer sacrifices to the God of the Internets and appease his wrath, lest he cut off my internet connection and I die of boredom.
53. Listening To: Late Night with Connan O'Brien in the other room and some generic "USSR" music by a developer making a cool game, "Command and Conquer: Cold War Crisis." There, you can't sue me now.
54. Thinking About: I should think about all the tests I have coming up, the essays and book reports...but the truth is, I'm thinking about politics. It is my curse!
55. Wanting To: Be able to hug Samantha again and kiss her until it all stops hurting...
56. Watching: The world fly by in front of me, drops of promise and hope raining on me. I see my own creative self coming through, I write too much.
57. Wearing: Super baggy jeans kind of falling off, and my proud Hammer and Sickle shirt. Huzzah!

~Future~
58. Want Kids?: I need to have a son, how else is the family name to continue? I'd also like to have a daughter as beautiful as my wife. It'd be just like the fifties, fighting UFO invasions and having tough gang battles where we all dance in Leather and Jean jackets, and then the Giant Robot from Mars comes in and we teach him to be our friend. All those happened in the Fifties and are family appropriate, right?
59. Want To Be Married: So long as she'd want to marry me.~
60. Careers In Mind: I'm currently training High School History Teacher, but maybe I would dare dabble in politics.
61. Where do you want to live?: Somewhere cold.
62. Car: Definitely an electric car! Or maybe this wonderful car, [link] , can't you just see yourself driving that baby?

~Which is Better With The Opposite Sex~
63. Hair Colour: I've never been to concerned with hair color, as long as it's not blond.
64. Hair Length: I like hair nice and short, its different and sexy. ^^
65. Eye Colour: It doesn't matter if the iris is brown or blue, her eye's are beautiful if they can keep my attention.
66. Measurements: Um...medium? I...guess...
67. Cute Or Sexy: Being cute and coy is sexier than throwing yourself out there, that is what Roger says.
68. Lips Or Eyes: A woman's lips can be the most seductive thing about her, if they're always silently whispering for a kiss!
69. Hugs Or Kisses: You can always hug your sweetie, and I love a chance to get close to her.
70. Short Or Tall: I would hate to meet the Amazon that's taller than me.
71. Easygoing Or serious: They can't take themselves or the relationship too seriously, but there has to be some serious thoughts.
72. Romantic Or Spontaneous: I hate to say, but I need things to be a little planned. I don't like it when something runs out of control, even if it may be fun...
74. Sensitive Or Loud: Is loud really the opposite of sensitive? I'd have to take a girl that is sensitive to my feelings rather than one who talks loudly to them.
75. Hook-up Or Relationship: Hook ups seldom work. I would know, VERY WELL.
77. Trouble Maker Or Hesitant One: A trouble maker has to always take that trouble out on me. x3

~Have You Ever~
78. Kissed A Stranger: I can hardly kiss someone I've known all my life.
79. Had Alcohol: Never! Alcohol makes the mind and mouth out of your control. And you know what they say, "Loose Lips sinks ships." Do you really want the Japanese to WIN!?
80. Smoked: I'm asthmatic. I start to cough just looking at a pack of cigarettes in a store. XD
81. Ran Away From Home: Never had anywhere to go.
82. Broken A Bone: In my line of work, playing video games all day and writing essays at 3 in the morning, a few bones are bound to break.
85. Broken Someones Heart: With looks this good, how couldn't I? I'm sure I've just looked at a girl and her heart was broken because she knew she couldn't have me! Truth is, I probably have more broken hearts than I've caused. =o
86. Broken Up With Someone: Again, everyone has broken up with me. I have no guts to break a girls heart.
87. Cried When Someone Died: Death happens to everyone, nobody is secure from its cold grasp. We should not cry for them, but rather show our respects for their lives.
88. Cried At School: When I was a kid, I was always the one in the black hoodie writing poetry under the stairs and crying about the world.

~Do You Believe In~
89. God: I've grown more aware of something binding all things, but to even begin to bind it by a word like "God" narrows its grandness.
90. Miracles: I suppose there has to be at least one if I could meet Samantha. =3
91. Love At First Sight: I don't think so, what you love about a person isn't what you can see or even know, it's what you learn about them. ^^
93. Aliens: Yes. YES. VERY YES! I've seen the UFOs, I know they're out there! And they are called...Vulcans.
94. Soul Mates: Has to be if I've found mine. ^^
95. Heaven: There might be, there might not. It's more important we act in goodness on this Earth while we're here.
96. Hell: Maybe...but what ultimate force of good could ever convict someone of an eternity of suffering? Perhaps to be punished for crimes, but eternity? I just don't know.
97: Hevell: Hellville? I've seen that on the WB, it's the one like Dawson's Creek but with Jesus and the Devil as teenagers trying to make it through High School in California, right?
98. Kissing On The First Date: ...I've been known to sneak in an innocent kiss or two. But then again, I am a smooth talking charmer. x3
99. Horoscopes: I try not to, but I find myself reading them more than I should.

~Answer Truthfully~
100. Is There Someone You Want But You Know You Can't Have?: YES! Her name's Samantha, and that brilliant stallion Roger has her all to himself! How can I compete with such an amazing guy that- oh...wait.
101. Do You Liek Mudkipz?: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that. This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
