As for the tagging:

Okay, I got tagged by a friend to do this relationship quiz, well, might as well dive right in.

Do you think you’re a good bf/gf?:
Personally, I don't think that's for me to decide. I certainly try my hardest, have no doubt about that, but lately, it seems like my hardest hasn't been enough...

Have any pictures of your bf/gf on your comp?:
Unfortunatly no. I haven't been able to take a good enough shot to warrent putting it on my comp.

Have you ever used a bf/gf’s photo as a wallpaper?:
On my phone, But its changed now, we broke up not long ago.

What would you do if someone was teasing your significant other and it was upsetting them?:
If it was a friend teasing her, I'd try to get them talking about something else. But if was anyone else, I'd jump in and tell them to lay off.

What’s your idea of romance?:
Nothing elaborate, just the two of us somewhere quiet, enjoying each other's company, where ever that may be.

Do you believe in waiting until after marriage to have sex?:
Well, I "suffer" from what many of my friends like to call: "Crazy Christian Beliefs." Fortunatly, the one girlfriend I HAVE had followed the same mindset. I'm not going to go further into this, 'cause I don't feel like explaining myself to people I don't know on the internet.

What would you do if someone came at your bf/gf with a knife?:
If there was a way to get out of there without any kind of struggle, then I'd pull her away, and we'd run for the hills. If there wasn't, and there was a good chance that either one or both of us could get seriously injured/killed, I'd get her behind me, and I'd grab whatever I could use a s a weapon. (i.e. staff, fake sword, metal pole, another kinfe [knife fight?], ect.) And then do what I could to deter them.

What would you do if your bf/gf did something to embarrass you?:
I'd probably laugh along with everyone else, and then get her back, good-naturedly, of course.

Are you possessive?:
I doubt it. While I might get a little jealous, I know that I could be left girlfriendless in a heartbeat. In my mind, as long as shes happy, there no need for me to be like that.

Would you ever hit your bf/gf in anger?:
What? Hellz no! Just the thought of something like that puts a bad taste in my mouth. Even if there's a girl I dispise, and shes asking for it, just no. I don't hit girls, end of story.

What would you do if your bf/gf woke up in the middle of the night screaming?:
Wake up immediately, embrace her, tell her that none of it was real, and lull her back to sleep.

Have you ever shared you bed with someone before?:
Nope.

Would you share your bed with someone else?:
As long as there's no sex giong on, probably. The whole situation would be slightly unconfortable though, making it harder for me to fall alseep.

Are you clingy?:
Not really. If someone needs a long hug, then I'm there for them. But I'm not much of a hugger, just being around her lifts my spirits.

If your bf/gf was in trouble, what would you do?:
If it was for something that she had no control over, I'd be at her side in a heartbeat. But if it was for, lets say she killed someone in cold blood, and make her seek help.

If someone was flirting with your bf/gf, what would you do?:
"You'd better stay away from my girlfriend
You'd better stay away from her
I'm just givin warning so you get no broken bones
You'd better leave my girl alone."
-lyrics from I'm Her Man by Reel Big Fish

Nah, thats not me, I just couldn't resist throwing in a little RBF. If she was being bothered by it, then I'd step in, and subtly make our relationship known, hoping that would deter him. But if it wasn't, then I'd let it wind its course. With all luck, when she finishes talking with him, I'll still be #1 in her mind, but if I'm not, well, it just wasn't in the cards.

What’s the worst thing you ever did to a bf/gf?:
Lie to her. It may not seem like much, but I have a MAJOR problem with lieing.

Ever been in love?:
Not yet. I certainly lijed the girl I was dating, but I ahven't had anything like love happen to me yet.

How do you feel about love?:
Love is a complicated thing. There are so many factors. But in my mind, love seems like the kind of feeling that you get when you look at someone and think: "Hey, I want to spend the rest of my life with her."

If you were upset with your significant other, what would you do?:
Talk with her about it, and see what we can do about it. I wouldn't want soething like that making a relationship any worse.

What would you do with the one you loved on a rainy day?:
Keep inside, cuddle on the couch/watch something.

What are you wearing right now?:
Doesn't quite seem to fit with this quiz, but if you must know, I'm wearing a grey bathrobe over black sweatpants. I just got out of the showed, and I'm chilly.

Do you mind if your bf/gf looks at other people with that special interest?:
See possessive question.

Have you ever dated someone/are you dating someone who cares about how you look?:
She never said anyting about my clothes, so I figured there wasn't anything wrong with it. BTW, if yopu want to see my normal attire, then check out my dev id.

Would you ever get married?:
As long as its with both of our consent, then hellz yeah.

How do you ask for sex?:
I don't have a need to. If I may remind you about those "crazy christian beliefs" of mine...

Is there someone right now that you’d say “I love you” to?:
Vocally and to their face? Nah, they'd only find a way to make me feel stupid about it. But I love my friends. I never want to lose any of them.

Are you sleeping with someone right now?:
Isn't it obvious by now? No.

Would you ever convert religion/take up religion/stop your religion for your bf/gf?:
No. Religion is a very important thing to me. And if you have to change your beliefs just to go out with them, it doesn't seem worth it.

Do you talk about your bf/gf a lot?:
When I actually had one, no, not really. Thinking about her was all I needed.

Do you think about them often?:
Even now that we've broken up, yeah. She's the sweetest girl I've ever met. I'm actually slightly sad that things didn't work out better. But at least we're still friends.

Name three things that would make you break up with someone?:
Being self-centered, absing the trust we have, or turning out to have no brains at all.

'Till next time, folks.

Well, I'm kinda pissed off. Yesterday, I left the window to my car when I parked, and I just so happened to leave my iPod nano sitting on the passenger's seat. So of course, when I get back home, it's missing. It's not in the car, and I didn't leave it at Janus' house. So I bet some fucking kid took advantage of the situation, and stole it.

But that's not what has me pissed though. As of now, I'm using my dad's iPod, because he rarely uses it. The problem is that I don't have any headphones. I used my dad's after mine got broken, then his got broken, prompting me to buy a new pair. But guess what? Those we're plugged into my iPod, AND GOT STOLEN TOO! The fucker could have at least left them.

Well, I'm done ranting. And to the people that are wondering why I haven't written anything in a while, I just can't think of anything I'd actually want to put into text. Although, once This new D&D campeign I'm in gets started up, I'm thinking about making a grand tale out of our adventures. After all, we've got a pretty zany cast of characters: A red mage with wings, a robot warrior, a zombie killing holy man, and a short gageteer. This is going to be very intresting.

'Till next time, folks.

------------------------------------------------------------
(edit)

You'll never believe it. It didn't actually get stolen. It was in the bottom of my backpack the whole time.

One day a 6 year old was sitting in a classroom. The teacher was going to explain evolution to the children. The teacher asked a little boy:

TEACHER: Tommy do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Tommy, do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Go outside and look up and see if you can see the sky.
TOMMY: Okay. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky.
TEACHER: Did you see God?
TOMMY: No.
TEACHER: That's my point. We can't see God because he isn't there. He just doesn't exist.

A little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some questions.

The teacher agreed and the little girl asked the
boy:
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yessssss!
LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?
TOMMY: Yessssss!
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the teacher?
TOMMY: Yes.
LITTLE GIRL: Do you see her brain?
TOMMY: No.
LITTLE GIRL: Then according to what we were taught today in school, she must not have one!

BURN!

Okay, I do relaize that there are those of you reading this that think that religion is a bunch of crap. You can think what you want, I'm not here to preach. But before you think about idiotically flamming me, look at it this way. Not as a religious device (which I don't intend it to be), but just as a story of a stupid teacher getting proper burned.

'Till next time, folks.

Sorry I haven't updated much in a while guys, but I might as well get to the main point.

I am putting Sword of the Dark Moon on a permenant hiatus. Thinking about it made me realize that my heart just wasn't in it. I had great plans for it, but my mind's been shunted to other things. But who knows, one of these days, I just might start working on it again. Although, if I do, I'm completly re-doing it.

Speaking of the other things. A bunch of you may remember me announcing something called Sanity Check Studios at the beginning of the year. Well, we've changed our name, but the fun is still coming. That's right folks, the webtoon Side-Quest is halfway finished. To be more specific, the script for the first episode has been completed, and our animator , is honing his skills on Flash. So obviously, this is a pretty exciting time. And if you're wondering about what's up with the title of my journal, wait and find out.

And speaking of exciting, I'm up in Mammoth, suckers. Now you'll excuse me, I'm off to do some snowboarding.

Till next time, folks.
