    UNRELATED TO EVERYTHING, I have finally obtained and am currently typing from a new computer. I can now play games on PC again.
     
    Hoorah!

    People do a lot of stupid shit that can get themselves killed regardless whether or not they're doing weed or alcohol or drugs or anything of the sort. Personally, I hope it DOES get legalized at some point (not necessarily issue 3) because then that'd be one less thing the state's wasting money on trying to enforce. And, also, my aunt has horrible grand mal seizures multiple times a day and marijuana is literally the only thing that has helped prevent them. So if a law's passed that makes it easier for her to get what she needs to be actually able to get through the day without having to deal with that and without risking getting arrested for taking the only drug that can actually help her, all the better. 
    It's not just about the college frat assholes that want to get stoned out of their mind for fun every night or dumb high schoolers that are going to be stupid because teenagers are stupid. Marijuana, much like opium in small doses can be extremely beneficial to people with seizures and other neurological or psychological disorders. And even though most people getting in on that weed action are going to be using for recreational purposes, it IS the same as alcohol in that- YEAH. THEY ARE BOTH ACTUALLY FINE IN MODERATION. Because both only cause actual long-term problems when you're overdosing, and overdosing frequently. For every car accident or overdose resulting from weed or alcohol, there are thousands of people that are still perfectly fine. Because they aren't being stupid about consumption. Weed and alcohol are like guns and knives, really. Do they have the potential to do some harm? Yes. But whether they actually do or not depends completely on the person currently possessing them and their self-control.
    And really, weed won't kill you. It can screw you up pretty badly if you take too much. Case in point, aforementioned Metal Tony. His brain's pretty fried, though that could also be the myriad of other narcotics he's taken over the course of his life. But weed in and of itself doesn't really kill. You are more likely to be killed by falling coconuts, choking, swingsets, tripping (as in clumsiness), cows, freezing to death, being left-handed, deer, pen caps, champagne corks, hot dogs, water that's too hot, jellyfish, autoerotic asphyxiation, vending machines, bath tubs, ants, and BEDS than you are by weed. And there's actual statistics to back all of those, so yah. Mind you, that's only weed itself, not what you do while higher than the stratosphere. Because that's all attributed to stupidity, which is the number one killer out there. 
    EDIT: As it turns out, one man in Brazil was killed by weed... when 1,500 pounds of freshly-dried and packed marijuana leaves fell on top of his head from the 7th floor of a building.

    So my younger brother had a rather wild night Friday evening. A wild night involving being forced to help a "friend" smuggle about $4,500 worth of stolen liquor around northern Ohio in the trunk of my mother's car while there were two other guys in the back seat of the car with guns. Possibly making sure he wasn't going to go to the police or anything. 
    All the while, he's trying to keep anyone, gun guys included, from smoking weed or drinking alcohol in my mother's car, because years of hanging out with Metal Tony have made these scents very familiar to her. Who's Metal Tony? Not important. All you need to know is he's a family friend who has done about every drug there is  and won't ever shut up about his band.
    And the night ended with him being high out of his mind and frantically trying to think of an excuse as to why he was out past the curfew our mom had set the next morning. And hoping that he didn't smell like weed or booze.
    Needless to say, he isn't hanging out with this particular friend again any time soon.
    He wants to tell Shrubs the whole story later though, so I'm omitting most of the details.

    Yeah, I've always known I'm just going to be working odd jobs until I can make it as a game dev, so I've got a few places I can call on if my cash reserves get low. I know an upscale restaurant in saint louis that might hire me, and the contemporary art museum was interested in me working with them, too. But lately I've been trying to see if I can't get my hands on a job as a night shift security guard, or a toll booth operator, where I could feasibly spend long hours sitting and drawing without being disturbed or having to do other things. I used to be on a tollboth operator job listing email list thing, but apparently a lot of people want that job so I can't get it really easily. Anything where I could live in a tiny flat on my own and have time to work on illustration, right now, would be perfect for my life.

    Speaking of weed, I had my first edible this weekend. A friend of my boyfriend's had a ton of brownies and they were SUPER potent. I took like a tiny bite of one, like a half in by half inch. It was chill at first and then holy shit did it kick in hard. And for hours.  When I went to work this morning I was still recovering. 
    We watched that movie Nightcrawler. REALLY good movie, it's on Netflix right now. It was also really unsettling and I thought it was because I was high but nope, it's just a really uncomfortable movie. Jake Gyllenhaal is brilliant in it.

    Well, I finished undertale. I played the pacifist route on my first try, got the "true ending," and those of you who were there with me who saw how angry I was that I couldn't just stay with toriel in the ruins can take a wild guess as to what choice I picked when toriel asked me what I wanted.
    It was a total blast of a game, and I'll probably turn around and play some of the other endings later. But I guarantee it was 5000x more fun playing it with people there, so to every one who showed up at any of the streams, thank you from the bottom of my heart, except eric, who is a piece of shit.

    I was just at a relatively small house party where 3 people were dressed as Snake. They labelled themselves Big Boss, Bigger Boss, and Biggest Boss.

    As a Scottish person, I really liked Brave. Reminded me of the 90s, back when I lived with my home clan before we were cast out by ourselves to forage in the wilds. By the time we found a new home the magic of childhood was faded and gone. I'll remember those simpler days. The harshness of reality can't crush those memories.

    The commercials and the pace of the movie make it seem like the main character is about to go on this awesome adventure, but she kind kind of like, stays within 2 miles of her castle. And then goes back to it. So I dunno. Also the ending seemed pretty forced
