I really hope that his statement that he wasn't going to have many detailed journal entries anymore is just him running his mouth. There's a lot of stuff to look at here and be bewildered by.
 
I don't recall seeing this specific journal mentioned before in the previous general topics before this became a sub-forum. If it has been covered my apologies.

"Making Up for Lost Time" [Link]
Dec 26, 2011, 10:02:51 PM

Tl;dr:
  • From 2011; Goldie is 19 and still in school (appears to be university, he mentions film studies at least once).
  • Goldie just got his computer back from Geek Squad, where he learned his computer had thirty-three instances of virus and/or malware. He claims they are from scam emails that he opened.
  • Mom and Dad finally let him have his computer moved to his bedroom.
  • Mom suggests Goldie find a religion, he finds this silly since he's a Jedi.
  • Mom and Dad are both in bad moods. Goldie says Mom is frustrated with technology. He attributes his Dad's frustration to him just being a grumpy old man; implicitly their relationship is strained. Both are mad at Goldie for cussing so much.
  • Claims he is a veteran of life.
  • Goldie is STRESSED because school is too much work. (:_(
  • Jay does not get along with his brother.
  • Jay does not like being ignored, and feels his family is ignoring him.

An interesting read that only further confirms many things that have been extrapolated or previously said by Jay himself. The journal entry paints the picture of a household that's tense and no one is on good terms with one another. Jay is clearly not socializing very well with others at his university; he mentions "friends" but it seems obvious that his social life revolves around the home.

It's minor and I wish the context were clearer, but Goldie's mom suggesting religion caught my eye. Because the context is so threadbare for that particular bit it could really mean anything (i.e., inbound armchair psychologist bullshitting alert), but I wonder if this could suggest any household attitudes about things like mental health care, anti-depressants, etc. Either she recognizes there is something wrong with Goldie, or he (loudly) vocalized it. Either way that she offers this particular solution might be worth finding out more about.

Don't forget comments that aren't kissing his ass on DeviantArt. I don't know how many of mine he's deleted when I asked him fairly innocuous questions, but I lost count at #9 or so.

Obviously we're too NPC to comprehend the Iridium Idiot.

...Wait--did GK legitimately believe in Santa at age nineteen, or was he just attempting to be cute or something? In all honesty, neither would surprise me.

Also, I hope someone is saving the good journals, just in case he eventually baaawletes everything.

did anyone mention dogs, as Heather did mention he was creeped out by her dog. Does other animals count?
 
Latest journal from Jay

It's been 10 days since he's heard from Manday, and he's not happy.

His heartstrings are numb, Manday!

:iconneptunetus:
If you see this, I miss you sorely and all I want is to hear from you, if not enjoy conversation with you. It's been 10 days since I've received any message at all, and counting.

If she has the time to log on, she has the 30-60 seconds to type "Hang in there," and hit the send button, even accounting for her woefully limited laptop hardware and potentially flaky Internet connection.

She did say she was going to try and plan a trip for around the end of this month, so maybe I'll hear from her before October. In the meantime, the last I remember her talking about was that she was going to be gone "a few days" and that's probably somewhere in one of my older (but still recent) journals. If you ask me, it's already been "a few days."

Some people have stated that calling her MIA after 3 days was impulsive of me. How about after adding a week on top of that? Other than her word, I have no idea when (or "if") she'll get back to me. For all I know, somebody could be playing an evil joke on me. I mean, it's happened before.

What this means for production...I am too sad to do anything! In fact, I'll be trying to stream the Saturday marathon as that seemed to be the best overall time. Other than that, though, everything is frozen.

So every day, I am going to add to the tally and see how long it takes, assuming I'll ever receive any kind of message. It could be weeks, months, half a year...Maybe it's because my patience has burnt to a crisp and my heartstrings have gone numb, but my money is on "never!"

manday really knows how to upset him if troll
if not, manday has life
 
I'll give GK .01 points and agree that if she is logging in, she could at least say hi.
Other than that, God Damn what a clingy whiny asshole.

I also guess that he'll never get anything done in life if he needs a sweetheart and a loyal ass licking fanbase first. He reminds me of someone else.
 
Jay seems to be in a lot of pain here.

I appreciate that. His emotional turmoil is rather satisfying. Like a cold Coke on a hot day.

His clinginess in general amazes me. *sigh* can usually make your hair fall out sometimes, but he still has his lush, rats nest of a mullet floating above his shoulders.
 
This journal is vintage Goldie: a short story about two five-year-old kids (for a change) take guns to show-and-tell at school and end up killing some terrorists who decide to attack. It's a preachy gun-nut fairy tale, showcasing all of Jay's storytelling ability.

In the comments section, Jay sheds some light on the squirrel killing incident. He used a gun.

"Yes, I've KILLED before, and honestly, I'm PROUD of it! Not including the dozens if not hundreds of bugs I've squashed in my time I took out a squirrel (with a GUN, I must add) that indulged itself on food that was reserved for BIRDS. It was my first live kill, something I was ENDLESSLY BEGGING to get the chance to do since I was a kid myself (around pre-teen if not actual child years). Truth be told, I have a very predatory mindset: I'm a born hunter, a fighter, a killer, but I'm NOT a crooked psychopath that'll fly off the handle and go wild for no reason whatsoever."

Interesting. So the squirrel wasn't chewing on live wires... That or he's killed more squirrels.

TGK also needs to learn the difference between psychotic and psychopathic.
