Now with spiffy tables! In alphabetical order.

( Original Characters )

I could also go and make a list of series that I've wanted to RP, or characters that I've wanted to RP, but then I would be here all night. But if you want to RP with me, go ahead and poke me and, if they're not on that list, see if I'll be interested!

Alright so nothing really solid just yet--throwing the idea out there to see who would be interested. But lately I've really wanted to do something Gakuen Hetalia.

Would anyone be interested in joining a GakuHeta RP if I created one?? It would be run by shadow_piper and myself. We don't really have anything planned, probably will start thinking about stuff after we hear about who might be interested.

Also, if you are interested, I'd be willing to take character reservations. At least mention, if you are interested in playing, what character(s) you'd like to play. It's okay if they overlap with someone else!

People?!
dragon_gypsy: Hungary or Prussia
shadow_piper: Italy or Poland
loveless_zero: Sealand or Lithuania
konishii: England
box_of_doom: Finland
fallacist: Norge
sorairokat: Germany or Prussia
kamilah_adair: America
espana: Denmark or Spain

B-Because I can't keep it to myself until next weekend ;a; sorry, Big Bro, but I'm just so "asdklfj" for having finished it haha Four days, which for me is a record. Actual fanart, which is another record. So, without further ado, happy SUPER EARLY BIRTHDAY, safelybeds!!! \o/



Click on the thumbnail to go to my DeviantArt.

As for Em: A .png version of it at 1280x800 :D If you want to use it as a wallpaper. Also, let me know if you want to color it and I can upload the lineart for you.

♥!




In other news: konishii and I are doing a... creative trade haha since I can't do fanart (THE REASON FOR THIS POST ASIDE) and she can't do fanfics lol I should finish one of my other fics too oops I even have that Inaba Daikon Brothers one to do for BBBH orz I might just write a bit of that and then unanon so the OP can track it at my writing journal. I don't know how long it will take me to do that.

Time for a shower. Then... Tackling Bleak House? Or maybe more Ulysses. Ugh.

Ah well, haven't updated in awhile, have I? Haven't had much to say, sorry about that. I really should be going to take a shower so that Kit and I can go out to do errands and then we can head over to Megan's (or at least I will) but... I don't really feel like it. Ugh. It's rainy outside and so I just want to curl up and continue doing what I was doing (aka reading Ulysses to try and catch up for midterm on Wednesday. Quite a bit behind on my reading but ohmygod it really is impossible)

Soooo yeahhhh.

I got to see Neil Gaiman on Wednesday *A* ohgod he's so amazing. All he really did was talk a bit and read two short stories and then answered a few questions. My copy of Fragile Things is now signed *A* asldkfj aaaaah and he likes Abney Park. God why is he so amazing? ;a;

Next weekend is the trip with the Celtic American Heritage club down to the Queen Mary for the Highland games *A* kufu I'm looking forward to that. The week after that is Little Tokyo with Anime club. I really really want the next volume for Hatenkou Yuugi since god knows when Tokyo Pop is ever going to publish it, but I don't think I want it in Japanese ;a; Going to get HaruHana if they have it, and maybe another volume of Yankee-kun to Megane-chan. Who knows.

Uh, what else?

Worked on a short story for class that had to be based off of a song. Used Daughter of Evil and Servant of Evil. Haven't finished it. Only about halfway done ahaha I'm slacking! Haven't been working on "Fragile Things" for the BBBH Kinkmeme and haven't finished this either orz

I started drawing a piece of fanart omg I haven't drawn anything that I would consider officially fanart for about 8 or 9 years--not since my Digimon days back in middle school. safelybeds told me to draw some P4 stuff and so I did and... it turned out really good imo--considering the fact that I can't draw fanart. Only fanart. I'm fine with drawing original characters--even if they're original characters in fandom. But when it came to drawing actual canon characters I could never do it. How Yosuke and Souji managed to be drawn, well... maybe the art of P4 speaks to me better haha idk idk Anyways, I'm not going to post it until I finish it and then upload it later next week (by Thursday or Friday) for Em, since it's turning into a present for her~ She already knows tho because I was too excited and couldn't keep it a secret for very long :||

Lastly, I got a message from the school saying that I'm good to go for graduating at the end of this quarter! Five more weeks (including finals) ohmygod I'm so over this school thing.

Time to go take a shower, though I really just want to write or draw. It's getting stuffy in here because it started raining again and so we closed up all the windows and gdit our stupid carpet is getting wet again--same spot as last time PLUS a random spot in front of our closet. Not even near the wall! Just... in the middle of the floor near the closet. ... I dunno.

Catch you all later!

\o/ I finally have made myself a shiny P4 icon. This is just going to be a short post, but yeah. Please stick around to read it anyways :'D

First, an old meme I did awhile ago. Kea posted the link to it on her twitter and I suddenly wanted to do it again haha Here's the original post if you want to see what was done before.

If you read this (even if we're not LJ buddies), please post a comment with a completely fictional memory of you and me. It can be anything you want, but it has to be fake!

When you're finished, post this little paragraph in your LJ and see what your friends come up with.

Next, a bit of... emo/pensive-ness: I don't even know if we're moving, so I probably spoke too soon on the subject before. Nothing is, of course, set in stone, and I haven't talked to my parents about it recently. Still, it does make me sad--I was in a moody mood last night and really wanted to just go home, and then made myself emo by thinking about it. I had thought "San Diego really isn't my place." It's always been where my cousins and aunts and grandparents lived, somewhere we went to on vacation. So thinking about living there is rather "... ummm... weird...." to me. Then I remembered that Cali lives down in San Diego and that Mellie is moving there (in April!) and that made me very happy to know that I'll have someone down there to hang out with haha We got all excited talking about it, so that helped relieve a lot of the freak-out stress I had earlier.

To end on a... I can't say "not emo note" because of the nature of this scene it is very depressing ;A; But this is my homework from short fiction class. We had to work on POV/Persona. The prompt we started on during class was to write a character doing something they don't want to do. And then our homework was to finish the bit we started, and then either rewrite it from a different POV (1st-->3rd, etc) or write the scene with a different character. I... uh... started writing Jonas from before this scene took place, and then didn't know what to do about rewriting it. So I opted for Catoir, from this part of the scene. Hurhur. Here you go. Yeah, sure, technically spoilers for the end of SD but I abuse this scene so much that it's not really spoilers any more :|

---

( June 3rd, 7:22 AM--Jonas Side )

---

( June 3rd, 7:22 AM--Catoir Side )

;a; Cara, why is Catoir my favorite character? It's your fault.

PS: I watched 200 Pounds Beauty today. It was so cute ;A; ahhhhh asldfkj it made me tear up ;a;

Ahhhh I just felt like making a really quick post. Nothing big really has been happening on this end. Dealt with a slight fever and an unsettled stomach earlier this week, which caused me to miss class on Wednesday (cause it was that on top of the thunder/lightening in the morning). I was supposed to go to the beach cleanup for English club today but after all the rain I didn't want to go parading around on the beach. Hello, washed up tar! But the sun is back. I don't know how long it's supposed to stay, but it's back.

I've been thinking about too many things lately and it's making it hard to concentrate on getting stuff done. I have a paper due on Monday, and I've got the outline down, but now I need to write it. Only 4-5 pages so I'm not worried. Got to finish Oliver Twist and read the next three chapters of Ulysses. Got to write a short story for class (or at least start on it). Technically, should view the movies I missed on Wednesday for Slavic, and do reading for that class, but... ugh. I should just stop procrastinating, yeah?

Haven't been giving myself time for RP stuff. I just got Canada over at nationcorp so I better pick up my act. Not to mention I'm holding up on two posts at deusinnobis, and need to do some modly stuff there to get everyone posting again. But, because I don't feel like thinking more than I have been, I've just been playing Persona 4. Made icons yesterday instead. Working on Fragile Things for BBBH. Not being productive, all things considered.

I only just recently started considering that I'm going to be doing after graduation. Or well, after commencement. Moving is looking like more and more to be the answer. Whenever my mom asked me how I felt about it I just replied "That's fine. Whatever works best." But if we do move to San Diego, then I'll be having to reconsider my grad school options as well to ones that are in the area as opposed to UCR and Cal Poly. I mean, yeah I'll still apply to those, but mom says that we might not be able to afford grad school I wonder "then what the heck am I supposed to be doing with my life?" arlkajdsf arg. Brb sulking.

In other news, finished off the delicious marshmallow house that waif-ooh gave me for Christmas xD It was so yummy! And then I realise holy crap I ate the whole thing in 23 days all by myself orz

Finally, I'll end on a happy note: HAPPY belated orz BIRTHDAY, starswing!! I'll see if I can't whip up something for you once homework is all squared away ;D

PS I just noticed that our bedroom door and part of our wall are all scuffed up. Yesterday the maintenance guys came buy to check for mildew because they fail in doing repairs properly they hadn't finished caulking some of the walls at... some point. Anyways, a small patch in the back corner of our bedroom under Kit's bed showed signs of mildew because we had been keeping the apartment closed up (well no duh it was raining like a mofo all week did you not notice the fact that there was some tornado action near by? Or that the SB hills have snow?). So they brought in a fan and later a heater (wtc) to dry and air out that corner. Moving said fan and heater in and out of room, they scuffed the door and wall :| Yay, thank you for no doubt charging us for that later.

..... SO YEAH I SPENT NEARLY TWELVE HOURS READING SYMPATHY CRIME, no thanks to safelybeds. Why is it that all the fills she has received so far at badbadbathhouse so fucking amazing? Anyways. Yes. 23 parts. 12 hours. I've done nothing all day. And I will proceed to do much in the next two hours (cause I'm not that tired), including taking a shower, doing the dishes, eating a salad, and being otherwise somewhat productive. In that order.



Oh P4 fandom how could I have abandoned you? I need icon like burning

PS I've been listening to this song for the past 2.5 hours, likely, while reading Sympathy Crime.

Homework? You will be taken care of tomorrow. Hello lots of reading for Oliver Twist. Hello books that have not yet arrived. well, some might have gotten here. I haven't checked the mail yet... Oh, and that writing assignment for Slavic. And can't forget story for writing class. Not too bad to do in three days. I keep forgetting today is Saturday. No longer having Fridays off has thrown me for a loop

Okay so, first off, the power of the meme compels me. Stolen from antieden and safelybeds (and a billion other people but I only commented on these two) (who both illicit "BIG BRO~ ♥" responses for different reasons haha ilu both)

Reply to this post and I'll tell you one reasons why I like you. Then you must post the same in your journal.

yeah, I might have more than one reason :| So let's just make it easy.

In other news. My fandom radar has started reacting to Persona 4 again. Ahhhhhh like no joke. I, of course, blamed antieden though it had been happening long before she started calling me Nanako-chan to Chas xDDD Which, of course, lead me to peer through mayonakatv for anything interesting and found safelybeds once again \o/ I also started my second play-through for P4 :| Yes I did. I want to start RPing for it again, but I don't know if I trust myself with being able to write for any of the characters. And I don't have anything in mind for fanfiction just yet to practice for them (though, that's just fine since I've got class to worry about writing for).

Let's see what else. I bought The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe and The Last Unicorn along with my books for this quarter. They have made me very very happy. Obviously I have decided to don a new Chronicles of Narnia icon, in celebration haha I need to make a P4 one :| But both movies have arrived before any of my books. Which is a bit troublesome.

I've been having a bit of trouble writing anything rather long and story-ish. We had an exercise in Short Fiction class the other day where we had to start off with a sentence ("He was running the vacuum cleaner when the phone rang", there was a reason for this, really). I decided to play around with Simon and Carly and wrote this little bit in 10 minutes. Then, for homework, we had to either work with this snippet or one started from any of these other five sentences. I wrote three more and finally settled on one of them. Of course, seeing as I have too many characters, I ended up using ones that I've already got stories for. This one ended up being for Cain Murders and reminded me how much I like the characters. The girls I had in my group liked the world I had set up for it, so that gave me a bit of hope. The third one was for Sine Die, though I also tried something else (and only got two sentences). I played with Paden Rose for the last one. And while I did write quite a bit for this one, it relied too heavily on the previous part to actually work as an independent piece haha

For class on Wednesday, our homework consists of a piece dealing with either family or with strangers. I created a new character despite myself, though I'm considering revising something I wrote a long time ago and using that haha none's the wiser!

OH. AND ANOTHER THING THAT MADE MY DAY. Someone on yonezou_fans posted the raws for vol 8 and 9 of Michiru Heya and I just--unf omfg a sd;lfkj someone needs to hurry up and translate 6+ because aaaahhahhhh Reno and Roje ;A;

Uhhhh

I didn't really have much to say in the first place. I just wanted to post that meme and, now, this picture. Figured I should ramble a bit in between.


Click iiiiiit. Do it do it do it do it. The power of the thumbnail compels you! (why have I been using that phrase lately?) It's come quite a bit since my last update with this picture! I'm quite excited that it's coming along so well, though I'm still worrying over how I can color it. Because the coloring will make or break it and... seeing as my coloring is quite boring... :| I'm a bit worried. But it will be my new wallpaper once it's finished. It's so fun staring at it on full screen going "8DDDDD"

That is all for now. Comment away for the meme, and don't forget to comment on my contact post also.

ps I'm addicted to this song. RADWIMPS, why so awesome?!

Here is part two! Want to see what this is all about, plus years '03-'06? Go check this post out, then!

( The '03-'09 Improvement Meme--Writing Style! )

GOD this took me way too long. I ended up getting distracted trying to find good passages haha do you like how all the passages got longer in the middle? Then I had to start making them shorter again. Oops.

I-It was too big so I have to split it up orz

As I'm sure many of you with a DeviantArt have seen, there is an improvement meme going around to show how your art has changed since '03-'09. fegie had posted hers and I decided that I wanted to do one... only I started drawing in '06. Asides from one or two pics in '05 or so, the bulk of my art comes from after I left college. The fault of this being Twilight Opus, of course. So I decided to do this with writing instead of art haha

So, here we go. This is just all original stuff, no fanfiction or roleplays. I'll try sticking to the format of the meme as close as I can, and include samples of various things that I wrote over the years :D I tired to pick samples that either gave a good glimpse at the plot or at the characters.

PS I've fixed all typos :| but not much else.

PS Also, feel free to ask me about any of the stories I have sampled (or mention) here :D Some I have links to, some I'll forbid from ever seeing the light of day again, and some I just love to talk about. Especially since many of them I would love to keep working on at one point or another~

( The '03-'09 Improvement Meme--Writing Style! )

Check out part two (years '07-'09) up over this way!

Okay so I only ended up reaching 995 posts when the new year hit. And I never got around to doing half of the posts that I actually wanted to do. Anyways, I'm doing a 2009 in review/summary. Feel free to skip. Me rambling on, a few pictures and videos. So, in case you want to skip this, lemme just give you a few details first.

- I did another 10-song drabble meme thing, this time for without_a_day characters.
- My PSP came New Years eve. With it, came my Dissidia and Crisis Core. I've been addicted to Dissidia. I named my PSP "Heika". It has a dead pixel, but you can hardly notice it so I'll live.
- It turns out that for my old external harddrive, I would need to pay around 1000 for them to fix it. The little arm that moves around inside of it that reads all the data is broken. I lost 30+ gigs of music: YOU GUYS WANNA SEND ME SOME?! I'll take anything and everything :D I also lost all of my anime. Or whatever I hadn't put onto Cara's harddrive.
- Finally watched the seventh and final Kara no Kyoukai movie alskdjf aaaaaahhhhhhh~~~~♥ I need to redownload them all now tho since I lost them :| Should do it before I leave tomorrow.

Okay, here you go. The bulky, kinda rambly and such post summarizing what was 2009. Sorry if some of the pictures are sideways ;;;

( Lots of pictures, videos, and talking under the cut! )

And it looks like I'm out of time for now. So videos will come with next post. Along with links to some stuff I've written over the course of the year and art. Just because I can.

I also will be doing another sprite blog-crew for friend's list only. Keep an eye out for that!

PS; NEW LAYOUT! TWO NEW ICONS! dragon_gypsy check it out! it works in Firefox this time haha

So, yesterday I was told I had to go in for Jury Duty. I get there, a bit of hassle. Fifteen minutes later, I tell them that I don't live in LA County any more and gave them my electric bill. And so I left. The woman said they went by DMV records but... uh... why? Anyways, I'm out of it for now.

kamilah_adair came over today. We ate In-N-Out, watched Coraline and UP (slakfdsj so cute) and did some work on cosplay stuff. More like... I finished my necklace (almost--I might add ribbon to it) and she.... got part of her vest cut out xDD Distracted by movies? Yes, we were. Tomorrow Thursday is daito times with doctor_sasuke. We're going to Cue, then renting Santa Clause 1 and 2 and settling down with some hot cocoa and kettle corn :D

Also: I taught my mom how to text hahaha she's so cute some times ♥

Oh, and I forgot to mention this awhile ago: I've started listening to some epic viking metal. Yes I have.

Anyways, here's the writing meme. Then I'm off to working on stuff for without_a_day. Cara and I have a challenge running. So I need to do that and my Secret Santa by New Years xDD

( a short writing meme! )

Tomorrow will come a media spam post. I'll also have a new LJ/few new icons by New Years :D

So I was browsing around oc_meme_central and decided to go ahead and fill this one out while I'm killing time.

( lengthy meme about writing under the cut )

Anyways, I've gotta run now. Off to Soup's place. Happy Festivus eve, everyone!

Actually, listening to "Five Finger Death Punch", they're not that bad. Even though when I asked the question, I had only picked up the CD at random haha

Anyways, whew if I want to reach 1000 posts by New Year I should do some posts, shouldn't I? Waiting for Amy to come pick me up so this probably won't last very long before I run off again haha Oh, and here she is lol brb I'll finish this when I get back

Aaaand back. Spent more money than I should have :| But I bought Peter & Max, that Fables Novel, and so I'm happy 8DD I also got to hang out with Amy ♥

So, let's backtrack a bit and see what has happened since I last posted. Which was like... a week and a half ago?

FINISHED TALES OF THE ABYSS. I cried. It was amazing. It was also depressing but happy and depressing and amazing. I love those characters so much. I don't even--... yeah. Amazing. I want to do something for the fandom, but I don't know what. I'll think of something I'm sure.

Drove home Wednesday. Yay traffic. Got off to a bit of a late start whoops. I get to stay in my room again which is nice! I watched King Arthur and cried at how inaccurate it was but had to watch it because I really like Clive Owen's voice. And it was a pretty pretty movie if you just ignore everything else about it. Made brownies. Drank hot chocolate. That was about it.

Thursday was ~AMAZING~. Picked up phantasiagirl around 10:30, and whitesin and sorairokat came over as well and we just had a day of amazingness. We just chilled at my house because it was still pretty chilly out. Korea brought movies but we never did end up watching any haha I got my doujin from Boss, and we planned and plotted for a War of Austrian Succession skit for AX. We were compelled by cosplay skit of awesome. Took Poxico home around 4:30, got back around much later yay traffic. Went out to dinner with Boss and Korea and then hung out some more until they went home at 11. So, overall, 12 hours of awesometimes with NCorp people.

Friday was date tiems with waif-ooh ;D We went to go see the Princess and the Frog and alkdsf;j SO CUTE. NO JOKE. IT MADE US SO HAPPY! Then we came back and Enchanted was on TV *A* then she started playing P4 a bit. I decided to just give in and buy it. But I might wait until after Christmas to see how much money I'll have. I still need to will myself into buying a PSP. I just really don't want to spend $170+ to get a new 3000. I wanted a 2000, or even a 1000 but you can't really get those new any more. I'll check around on Amazon/Ebay, and then debate getting a used one. But anyways.

Saturday, I went out with Meredith, her boyfriend Gavin, and Fabian. We hung out in downtown Claremont. I forgot how fun hanging out with Meredith and Fabian is hahaha just so many funny one-liners.

Sunday! Helped dad take down the Christmas stuff. Then drove off to Irvine to see kamilah_adair. Yaaaay Husbando~ \o/ I made muffins and she made almond jelly and we had pasta for dinner and watched some FMA and FMP and then sorairokat showed up~~~ We watched the Lucario movie and I am STILL not convinced that his seiyuu is Namikawa Daisuke :|| but it is. Lots of fun crazy times with Boss and Vice-boss 8D Monday, we went over to Fashion District in LA. Got some fabric for Boss' Green jacket, and for Austria and Hungary's War of Austrian Succession outfits. Really nice suit fabric. My sister at first said "LOL YOU SUCKER YOU DIDN'T HAGGLE" but when I told her the prices we got she said "oh, okay then that's not so bad". We watched Emperor's New Groove and part of Cat's Don't Dance, ate at In-N-Out, and then I went home.

Tuesday, I watched Doctor Who and took care of my sister. She's been pretty sick, but doing quite better today. Okay, I /loved/ Blink and I am just... omg so jealous of the writing skills of Steven Moffat. He did the two creepy episodes from the Ninth Doctor's series (Empty Child and The Doctor Dances), and he did the next two that I'm about to watch that Cara said are pretty creepy (Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead). Blink was just... so amazing. Those are the kind of creepy writing skills that I want to use for without_a_day. Arg so ingenious. I want your skills. I mean, dude. He won awards for those episodes.

And today, Wednesday, went out with Amy. Walmart has The Last Unicorn for 7.50. And I want it. Because it'll be better quality than my VHS and I can't watch it any more since I don't have a VHS player at school. Again, something I'll consider buying after Christmas.

For now, Imma take off my contacts and watch the two episodes. I really really really want to write something for SD (and if it's creepy that's even better) so maybe watching these creepy episodes will inspire me :| And maybe start playing FFXII. Or maybe start reading Peter and Max, but considering that my sister won't be around, I should play FFXII hahaha with that logic, I should do FFXII first... tomorrow is Christmas eve!

PS souppy/manic_criminal: When did you want to do Sherlock Holmes and the photoshoot?

\o/ Doooone! Hello, winter break! Hello, sunshine!

Thursday and Friday, I wrapped up elitwonderland and presented it on Friday :D I was reading through it today and noticed a few typos whoops. Got the ones I spotted cleared up. After that I came back and, since I wasn't needed to help clean up at GameCrazy, I just sat in front of the computer for a bit. Went to take a 1 hour nap, ended up with a 2.5 hour nap xDD Saturday was Victorian lit final. It was... a normal test, I suppose. Nothing interesting to say there. Came back and went right to playing Tales of the Abyss.

One. S:LDKFJH S:LDKFJ SOEIRFJ K: ASSSSSSSCCCHHHHHH (SOB).
Two. OMG THE MUSIC DURING THE LUKE AND ASCH FIGHT. I had to pause it and go "*A*~~~~~~~~(wibblesob)".
Three. I died while fighting Sync and omg I did NOT want to watch that again right away so I turned it off. I need to level up a bit more because Sync totally just slaughtered me ;; I might play around with party members but really, I don't want to keep dying because HOWMANYTIMESWILLIAHVETOWATCHTHATANDCRY.

I still can't get to the Mushroom Road xD;; I don't know why it won't let me. I got the quest and everything butuh... oh well. I got the Viscount outfit for Luke, and the Little Devil outfit for Anise. Kesese. Ughhhh omgggggg

Hmm what else. Rewatching Firefly. I've got one more disk to go. It ended up being too distracting when I was working on homework. Today will be the day of baking, I think. Brownies, which will go out in the mail on Wednesday before I drive home, and finally getting to work on my pumpkin seeds. I think I'll also throw some chicken, potatoes, carrots, peas, and corn into my slow cooker and let that go for dinner 8D

While I'm sad that I no longer have job times, I'm also very excited to be able to go home. After having practically no summer break due to summer school, I didn't have a lot of time to hang out with everyone from home. Kristen and I are already making plans~ And of course funtimes with a small portion of NCorp people. We uh... still need to decide on a day and time haha Oh, I also get my room back! Scheherazade moved out and so I can move back in *A* Anyways, all in all, I'm looking forward to going home.

I've been drawing a bit so expect an update in the future with some art. Also, this marks post number 992. Let's see if I can reach 1000 with my New Years post!! hahaha Time to go take a shower and then do some icontest stuff and read apps for deusinnobis. And do baking. I'll figure out an order.

Uwaaaa so. Looks like LJ is getting back on top of things. Which is good. I was worried at first when they didn't send me my validation email for elitwonderland since I couldn't post until I got it.

Speaking of that project: Thanks to everyone who volunteered but seeing as I didn't get my act together in time, I'll be unable to have you do recordings ;;; maybe one day I'll go back and make it spiffy again. Like adding in more pictures, the voice stuff, and go on a "through the looking glass" route. I've got all the posts up at elitwonderland and ohmygod I wanted to die by the end. It was just a bunch of copy-pasting and stuff like that but I started losing track of which posts were which (because I had to double some of them) and what had been filled out and what hadn't. I'll have to check that today as I write up the story bits. And do my artist statement. And... yeah. Orz.

Last point for now before I go eat breakfast. The good: I get Nation Corp tiems on the 17th/18th and I get to be home for Christmas! THE BAD. They closed down my store so I'm jobless again orz A month and a half and now no more job. I'm going in tomorrow after my final presentation to help them clean up if they need me and then that's that. They'll be mailing me my check (I need to see if they got the times for before when I was in the computer). I managed to get my sister's DS and stuff but never got my PSP. Ohwell. I can buy those anywhere, but the DS was the one with a deal so that's fine. Sigh. C'est la vie.

Okay, breakfast and then elitwonderland times. Bye-bye~

CREW OF THE YET-TO-BE-NAMED SHIP. This is your captain speaking :|

Because Cali and I were talking about it and I decided that a post would be a good idea for everyone to get their ideas out and we can plan with each other and stuff like that. Because I need to know about my wenches crew!

And it's only 1:30. What? Why?

Was woken up this morning by cramps that made me feel sick, deleted the "buddies" section of my buddy list on AIM while trying to delete a different section (i wasn't even clicking on the buddies section!) so if you need me you'll have to IM me first because I only added a few names back, and got told by my manager that my shift was canceled because they're cutting back. Uh, what? I already can't go in on Saturday cause of my final, and now I can't work today either? And when the hell am I going to get paid? I've been there for a month!

Anyways, got my papers out of the way and so now I just got to work on the Alice project. I asked for the 16th-19th off for mini nationcorp tiems, and told Edgar that I can work any day after Saturday. Also bought myself a milk shake and fries from McDonalds yesterday, as well as some more popcorn for over winter break.

Deus has been going well. I've upped the max character limit to 4 because myself and three others wanted another character. Which is good because that means Cali gets Quetz back and so Tez can have some Aztec love, Sarah and I are making minions for each other, and Maggie is going to pick up the Horus she wanted. We've gotten a few new people too :D Excited!

Just looking forward to next week. I mean, not even taking fun porn tiems with Boss, Poxico, Kit, and maybe Korea into consideration, I'll be done with school stuff. And you know what that means? Finishing TOA and catching up with Doctor Who in time for the appearance of Eleven 8D Also starting FFXII. And working on Steampunk tiems.

For now, I'm going to take a shower. I was watching Psych, but the website I was watching it from has most of it's videos uploaded on MegaVideo which limits you :| Laaaame. Not that I've missed a lot of episodes. And I just want to be amused because I use James Roday as the PB for Tezcatlipoca.

For lulz:


Can't wait 'til season 4 picks back up in January 8D Watching parties online with starswing~~ So much better than what I did at the beginning of the year homg

Ugh I should talk to my dad about what to do about my external harddrive...

Hello there, people of my flist! How are you all doing? I'm kind of working on my last paper. I don't quite know how I'll get it to 1800 words. That's like... five/six pages? I want to write three of them today at least. It's due tomorrow before four. I finally decided to write about the relationship between "real" and "ideal" in Picture of Dorian Gray and Time Machine. I don't know if we need secondary sources or not ;;; in the example paper he showed us, there were secondary sources, and the title on the paper is "research paper", but the blurb about the paper says "this essay is a comparative paper discussing any 2 or more of the novels, etc" souh... ???? Who knows.

I've been feeling kind of off for awhile. Thursday in particular was a really off day. I kept dropping things and knocking things over. Even managed to somehow cause the Darksides display and the little price monitor thing by my register to fall off the counter at work. Jeremy said that it was okay because nothing had broken and the day was so boring anyways. But still. Friday I saw Pajama Game and was just kind of feeling "blegh" all day after finishing paper, Saturday was more work and then went to hang out with Jana and Pablo. Today, here I am. Doing RP stuff and paper stuff.

Pajama Game was cute. The leads and supporting were all really good, but the cast as a whole was a bit undisciplined. They kept running into each other on stage and fumbling choreography, false/weak starts and rough cut-offs during singing. They also left lights on in the side room (and opened the door a few times), as well as in the back where the bathroom is. Audience was also quite rude, but there wasn't much to be done about that. And guess who just had to show up that day? Ugh. I saw him and went "...................... (automatically distracts self with playbill)". Luckily it was really crowded and they were setting up chairs around the sides and he sat on the other side of the theater. But my iPod knows me well and gave me a good soundtrack to walk home with.

I'm going to try and see if I can get off December 16th-19th from work. Or at least the 17th-19th. Because omgyay hangout times with Boss, Poxico, Kit, and maybe Korea :D It will be like Boss' harem!! kufufu But if anyone else wants to hang out around those days that I'll be back, let me know. I don't think we've decided on a day, but the 18th will probably be best for NCorp tiems. We'll see.

Also, set out the secret santa assignments for nationcorp and we're all so excited 8DDDD (loves you all)

Also on the topic of RPs: deusinnobis has been amazing so far. We're dying a little under the end of term stuff, but everyone has been very helpful and supportive 8DD We've also gotten new people!!! lovelovelove

Bought my sister a DS with two games (Super Mario 64 and Animal Crossing) for only $108, which, trust me, is a sweet deal. It was pretty much "get a used console, get two free used games". It, for some reason, didn't have a stylus tho xD;;; so I'm just going to buy a pack and take one or two and give the others to Claire. It's her big Christmas present. Dad sent me $100 for her and $100 for me to get my PSP. But I'm going to wait a bit until I get my paycheck since I have to buy a new PSP. But Jana and Pablo had been nice enough to come out and help me with it :D I gave them my debit card and so I got the points for selling the system hahaha I also really really really want Persona *A* they have the commercial on a lot on the PSP/PS3 TV and I keep going "alskdjf want". That, and Dissidia, and Soul Calibur. And probably Crisis Core. Because, even though the battle system sucks and the voice actors sound like tards, it's Zack.

Speaking of which: ZACK IN BBS. YES PLEASE. HAPPY PUPPY IS HAPPY PUPPY OMG.

Anyways, I think that about sums up everything. I'm going to go do another reply or two and then get working on an outline for my paper. Blagh I need to think of a thesis... hmmm...

PS I think I'm going to buy myself a strawberry milkshake later today... Or tomorrow, after I finish my paper.

PPS. I watched League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I love how I knew all of the characters except Quartermain. Considering Skinner was an original made for the comic book. I downloaded the first bit of the comic book, too, which I plan on reading sooner or later. Among other things that I need to do over winter break....

Since Keii-chan and Kit did this with their kinderspiels characters, so shall I.

Write down four of your OCs (original characters):
Rajesh Vantine : riajaisha
Noah Hartell : gears_in_motion
Dorian Ford : fordless
Oshiro Sho : kitchen_king

( Questions under the cut! )

Took me a long time to finish this because I ended up reading more of the manga I started before running off to class. So, I'm all done with classes. I have work tomorrow and I'm hoping that I don't have to work the noon-4 shift on Friday. Because that would be bad timing for me D: I would have to finish my paper in the morning and turn it in before running off to work. As it is, I work noon-4 tomorrow. So I'll write a bit in the morning, and then go to work, then grocery shopping. Ah, I also have remember to leave early enough to pay rent.

I looked over the stuff for grad school. My mom's no longer sure if they (the parents) will even be in Diamond Bar when I start grad school. So she's not sure if she'll be working at Cal Poly any more. Which means 1) I'll need to find a place to stay and 2) It'll be more expensive. But, whatever. I'll be working while going to grad school anyways. I play to apply to Cal Poly for English, and Riverside for English and Creative writing. Either way, I want to get an MA in English and an MFA in creative writing (though which will come first and how far apart they'll be remains to be seen). I'll also be feeling out the job market while I'm in grad school; once I get an MA in English, I'll wait to see about getting teaching credentials.

Also, I'm dropping my minor. Too much effort, and really there doesn't seem to be much difference in what I do in my English classes and in Comp Lit classes. Also, if I'm not going to enjoy any of the classes I take while an undergrad, why do it at all? So I'm debating if I want to take a class on Slavic Folklore, or the Crusades (1100-1300). I'm also hoping I can get into one of the creative writing classes. I'll be doing 12 units again, and have M/W classes again.

Anyways I... guess I'll go be productive and read the sections in the two books I checked out for my paper due Friday. I still don't have a topic for Victorian lit orz

PS: I haven't been feeling very sociable lately, so I'm sorry if I'm hard to get a hold of.
