GAAAAH TOO MANY HUMANS!

There was some sort of family gathering, apparently, for Independence Day weekend or whatever. People were all the time coming in and out of the house, interrupting my recording of SKF lines and wiki editing and... umm... my flow... It was very annoying. And to make matters worse, Dad made me watch fireworks. I hate fireworks! D:

I did get some lines recorded, though, including a one-minute improv song, titled "Montage", which will be used as montage music in episode one. I also recorded a few lines for Taylor, Heather, Mike and Goliath. My voices are terrible. Only Taylor's are really any good. All the others sound way too much like my own voice.

I also made my first ever SUCCESSFUL They Might Be Giants playlist! It features twenty rock-ish tracks, and it alternates between Johns and I also made sure that each album is separated. I'm listening to it right now, testing it out. Sounds good, so far!

NICK'S ADVENTURES OF TODAY

Not much happened. Pretty much the whole day I was on TMBW refreshing the Recent Changes page and just browsing around different pages. Though, earlier, I did a bunch more at BSWiki, mostly on the Sex Jokes, Swear Words and Character Relationships pages. A few smaller tasks today were pages on Phil's Drinking Problem and Car... probably some others, I forget. I also browsed some other wikis hosted by EditThis.Info briefly. And of course I went to visit HRWiki VERY briefly, just seeing what's going on today.

Dunno why I'm telling y'alls this, but 1.) I ate some chicken, and it is SPICY. Like, seriously. I need a drink. 2.) The vein in my wrist has been hurting for some reason... whatever, as long as I don't need an operation or anything. 3.) Dad and WF's mom both fell asleep on both couches. So I don't have a bed tonight. Hey, maybe that gives me an excuse to stay up all night! =3

Also, I was listening to the TMBG podcasts today, mainly seeking out the tracks that're going to be on Cast Your Pod To The Wind. I still want Podcast Highlights, though.

CLOSE CALL.

Nick's catchphrase vs. Anna's catchphrase - which will win?

It's much closer than I thought it would be.

Also, I finally got to doing some more work over at BSWiki, after someone (who also likes Bonus Stage! :D) from TMBW brought it up. I actually added Mandy's suggestion of adding a table-like thing showing how many times each character haw swore. I also added onto the Sex Jokes page. Those're like, my two favorite pages. XD

ANTI-SKILLZEES

I just recorded my new EP, titled "Anti-Skillzees". On the first day of its release, it sold negative one million copies, going Shit, which I presume is a few ranks below Gold. There's five tracks, two of which are covers, and three others that're improv - completely made up during the recording sessions. I'm currently animating the music video for my song "There's A Reason Why I'm Not Famous". It is going to be rated R for nekkid hot chicks, sexual references, and some swearing.

The EP is available to download for $0.00.

Here are the lyrics to "There's A Reason Why I'm Not Famous". Unfortunately, my lawyers made me censor the swears so evil parental control-using parents don't sue us.

From across the room
Nekkid hot chicks attack my face
And I don't know why they're doing that
But they are
Seriously
Nekkid hot chicks attacking people tonight
All the time attacking my face
And trying to suck people's [CENSORED]
And it's confusing the [CENSORED] out of me
So they better stop or I'll punch 'em in the face
Except not really because [CENSORED]sucking is awesome
And so is attacking peoples
I still don't really know why they're doing it
But keep it up
[CENSORED]SUCKING!

Removed the perversion from my profile. It was probably scaring people. Oh, except the butts. The butts can stay.

Me and Anna had a long Bonus Stage-related conversation last night. We tried continuing today, too, but we were interrupted. D: She also read over the FINISHED script me and Waylon wrote! So whenever everyone gets their lines recorded, I can start animating! Whoo!

~Nick

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Microphone works. Skype doesn't. D:

Why does this slow computer have to indirectly ruin my life?

~Nick

Ed Note: This is probably the only thing I agree with Nick on. Seriously, its 2016 and Xfinity reminds me of ancient dial up.

OMIGOD OMIGOD OMIGOD

MY MICROPHONE WORKS.

I GOT SKYPE.

ANNA - GET ON SKYPE. DO IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

~NICK

Monday, June 25, 2007

I HATH RETURN'D

I'm back! And I got a microphone! :D I haven't tested it yet, though, because I still haven't gotten a chance to be here by myself. Even though everyone FINALLY got jobs. So I don't know why they're still here. GO TO YOUR DAMN JOBS, PEOPLE. Oh, also I hope you guys realize that last post was all... "hidden" because you have to be logged in and friend'd and stuff. But whatever, not that important. I just had to hide it in case Mom and Steve found out aboot this blog. I don't know why they would, but whatever.

Still working on that SKF script. Added some extra lines to previous scenes in an attempt to add a few lawls to the boring parts. Probably won't work, but we'll see when the first episode comes out.

And I've been experimenting with Flash, reading tutorials and all. I learned how to make a button, tried making a loader bar (didn't work) and even made a John Henry MP3 player, which is kinda pointless because I have, like, WMP and all.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Today's my half-sister's birthday! And tomorrow Mom and Steve are gonna be away for the day at their mountain cabin thing, so I'm gonna go hang out with my cats for the first time in months. Meaning I won't be online, k?

Also, The Else's bonus disc's track listing is confirmed! It looks like it's gonna be pretty cool, too. It has I'm Your Boyfriend Now on it, for some reason. But that's good! It's one of my favorite songs. Also, Homunculus (which I found out I've been misspelling) is on it! WEWT! A few tracks on it are from Free Tunes, meaning most of us already have those tracks anyway, but there's also more podcast stuff that hasn't been available anywhere else yet! Plus a couple of tracks that're completely new. I can't wait until July 10th! I'm just kinda sad that I Enjoy Being A Boy and Diving Board aren't there. But I Enjoy Being A Boy is on Free Tunes, so that's okay. As for Diving Board, I guess I'll have to find Podcast Highlights someplace.

~Nick

Ed Note: His mom must have been really sick of him at this point not to invite him on their trip.

LAWLZORS

I've been watchin' a lot of H*R recently. And I'm eating buttloads of milk and cookies. Not like, a LITERAL buttload... unless of course Goatse is the loadee. Also, me and Waylon are collaborating on the script for SKF episode one, which I will begin animating once it's finished and I get everybody's lines recorded. Other people can help write the script, too. Liiiiike ummm... KN... Mandy... Simon... uhhh... I dunno. But seriously. SOMEBODY do some writin'. PS- you can find what we have so far here: http://editthis.info/nick_bate_wiki/Some_SKF_Stuff

Ed Note: This link just goes to a copy of his Encyclopedia Dramatica article. His wiki got vandalized by trolls. I understand why people were pissed at him, but it wiped out some info.

PROOF THAT KENTUCKY DON'T EXIST

Because I said so. That's proof enough, right?

So okay, it was storming today, and I had to shut the computer down twice. Also it shut itself down once when the power went out. THEN when it stopped storming other people were on the computer until friggin' 5:30 in the morning. During this time, I played PS2. WF rented this game with like, samurais and stuff... uhhh, he rented it before, a couple years back, so I remembered how to play and stuff. It's pretty cool. But you know, now that I'm on the computer at 6:00 AM... I'm kinda tired. Okay, VERY tired. I'm goin' to bed to pretend to hug hot chicks. And then go to sleep. G'night.

~Nick

Ed Note: I understand what he is saying about there storms. Here it is 2016 and the spring storms that have been going on have been kicking me off my WiFi periodically. Seriously, Xfinity really does suck, because every storm, every snow, the Internet goes out. Okay, enough ranting.

RAWR (RUNNING OUT OF TITLES)

location: butts
mood: butts
music: butts

I made another ID thingy for dA a few days back, and just now uploaded. I really suck at drawing Mandy. And I still don't really have a good design for Simon thought up. Psy, you need to like, draw a picture of yourself so I can copy off of it! D:<

I was also browsing TMBW, as always, and HRWiki a bit. Not too much goin' on 'round teh 'net today. I like apostrophes. Oh, WF kicked me off teh computer earlier, and I left WMP running, and he put the headphones on, and Pet Name was on, and he actually listened to it, and said he liked the bass line. I need to get him to listen to The Else. I dunno, he might like that because it's kinda... like... more rock-oriented than other albums. Or maybe John Henry...I dunno. Whatever.

I told Waylon and KN a story earlier. It was great. It involved a police chase, some hot mini-skirt chicks, several corpses, grown men fighting over Happy Meal toys, some priest, and more.

BAAAAACK

I'm back from Nanny's! So, I got in another hour of painting, I listened to In Utero, I drew a picture of me killing my mom with a sword and holding up her severed head by her hair, I played PS2 for a few seconds, I did some jackin' off, and I ate and drank some stuff. I missed the Internet, though. :( But I'm back now! ^^

I probably have a lot to catch up to! Getting starteeeeeed...NOW

COLORIZED!

Watch!

Yes, I edited the original, adding color, new scenes, etc. So far it's gotten me three comments and a favorite on dA. I really wasn't expecting all that! ^_^

Also had a conversation with a friend. Apparently we're going to write a song. :p And I guess I should search through all my saved emails... he wants me to find something from a long time ago.

But I have to go to some meeting at the high school in a couple of hours, and Nanny also suggested I stay the night so I can do some more housework tomorrow. Not sure if I will or not, so I dunno. There's a possibility that I won't be here tonight.

You know, Windows Media Player is a simple little thing that seems to bring happiness to whoever has it. Or maybe it's just me being way too obsessed with it because I still don't have my own computer.

I MADE A FLASH TOON!

Click here to watch

It's crappy on purpose; I really wasn't trying to be funny or anything. Enjoy. Or...uhh...don't enjoy. I started progress on a colorized version, but then kinda gave up pretty quickly. I may continue it sometime.

I LOVE ANAL SEX.

~Nick

WHOA, OKAY THEN.

My leg still hurts, and something in my lower abdomen is like, throbbing. It's not a painful throbbing, but it feels weird. But whatever, as long as I don't need any operations.

So I'm up to 40 Hagurumon Emails now, so that's cool. Oh, and also I'm working on a few other stories/fanfics and stuff. Nothing too cool, most of it crappy. Also, I declare this century to be National Everybody Whose Name Starts With Either J, A, Or M Has To Marry Someone Whose Name Starts With N Especially If Your Name Starts With All Three Somehow Century. >_> No specific reason. Just felt like it, that's all. Anyway, I'm gonna go check out what's goin' on at HRWiki. Bai.

Nick is, um, scheduled
For some HRWiki'ing
All night long, while thong'd

AAAAAAUUGGHHH

So like, Dad made me do a half-mile on this execrise machine thingy, and I made it to .41 and then I got all dizzy and sweaty and overheated and I felt my heart beating in my ears somehow and everything went black. So I almost passed out. It wasn't fun. I had to go sit down for a while, drink some juice, take-a mah shirt off and apply a cold towel to my neck. I'm cool now, I guess, but it's still extremely hot in here, like in the 90's, and the fuckin' central air is broken. >_<

Somebody get me some drinks, plz. Preferably champagne... or like... maybe some wine... some chocolate milk?

~Nick

ANOTHER PROJECT? GEEZ, NICK.

So now I'm working on an H*R fanfic for HRFWiki. The first few lines of it seem pretty good and very in-character, but it'll probably go downhill from here seeing as I'm really bad at writing, especially after having good ideas and then using them all up in one script, therefore sucking all the creativity out of me in one huge suck of suckiness.

I also talked to another online friend of mine tonight. It was pretty fun. We did this thing where we said some random facts aboot ourselves and the other person had to not be disgusted. Of course, I'm immune to disgust, so I didn't even flinch. But as for him, he gagged a few times. Figures.

And apparently I get to stay up late! It's 3:15 AM, and my usual bedtime is 2 AM. HUZZAH.

~Nick

Friday, June 8, 2007

BAAAAACK!

I've returned. I played some PS2, drank some orange-flavored lemonade, ateice cream, listened to music, and more.

Weeeeeeeeeeeee

I'M GONNA HUG A TREE TODAY.

For my summer vacation, I'm going to do the exact same things I do during the schoolyear. However, today, I guess I'm gonna sleep over at Nanny's, like my aunt keeps suggesting constantly. I've had too little PS2-playing in the past few weeks I've been here at Dad's. So I might not be online tonight. Don't worry 'boot that, peoples. Of course, by the time everybody reads this, I'll probably be back already. Oh, you guys and your lazy Internet surfing.

Kentucky Don't Exist. Spread the word. Maybe if I can convert enough people to anti-Kentuckyism, "Kentucky Don't Exist" might make it to HRFWiki's glossary.

SCHOOL'S OVER.

Yeah, today was my last day of school. But unfortunately, I have to go to actual REAL school next year. Ugghh. And every year, I usually get some kind of graduation party, but I don't think there's any presents, just decorations, cake, the family coming over. It sucks. I want presents, not some stupid party. Not that it really matters. Nothing matters. Life sucks. I wish I was dead.

I don't really have anything else to say. Nothing intereseting ever happens in my life.

ONE MORE DAY LEFT OF SCHOOL!

One more daaaaaaaaaay!

I got a bunch done at BSWiki. Mostly screenshots for evolution pages. I also got some jewel cases to put mah CDs in. Huzzah, now I can send that one CD to Anna!

I've been neglecting to play Runescape lately. I dunno. I'm too busy watching Bonus Stage and Homestar Runner. I should play both at the same time to see if they sync up in any way. :p

I'm kinda cold right now. I should cuddle with someone. Hmmmmm... *looks around the room in search of someone to cuddle* ...uhhhhhh, I'll hug this dog. *holds up a dog* Yeeeaah...

And now, some proof of how bored I am:

Nick (3:45:06 PM): Pants
KN (3:45:11 PM): hah
Nick (3:46:21 PM): Anna has been declared best person in the universe ever by the US, Mexico, Canada, China, India, Japan, Lat, Spain, The Netherlands, Italy and France.
KN (3:46:30 PM): lololo
Nick (3:47:17 PM): It was a unanimous decision. The Germans were also going to vote on her, but they were afraid of people making jokes about how they should've voted for Hitler, so they just didn't vote.
KN (3:47:33 PM): you are very bored, aren't you?
Nick (3:47:41 PM): It's that easy to tell?

Someone needs to get online and engage me in conversation. Or engage me in marriage. No, really, please engage me in marriage. PLEEEEAAASE.

TODAY IS A DAY, APPARENTLY

Last night pwn'd. Me an' Mandy continued our Bonus Stage roleplay in six separate installments. Unfortunately, one of them I do not have saved because it was storming outside and the computer died. It sucked though, that we kept getting interrupted by stuff, mostly WF wanting to get on teh Internets and kicking me off.

I had a rough night last night. It's pretty hot over here in Pennsylvania, like in the 70's or 80's Fahrenheit or something. And I probably misspelled that, too. I was sweating my fuckin' ass off just lying there trying to sleep. Although it probably didn't help that I was under a blanket at the time. Too bad other people live in this house, or I could've just slept nekkid. Sleeping nekkid is teh pwnage. I believe I've only ever done it once, though, but plan to do it more frequently when I get my own house.

I may have accidentally been nekkid last night, but I actually wasn't. In addition, people who set cows on fire are also people who wear clothes way too much. Clothes-wearing is a disease that has spread throughout the U.S. that must be contained before it affects the rest of the populace. If you want to save the U.S. (for some reason), be sure to get nekkid as much as possible! I do not support the U.S., like, at all, but I also can't stand anti-nekkidness, so I for one am going to do my best to be nekkid as much as I possibly can.

Have a great nekkidness-filled day!
