No Control

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
So aside from making offensive reborn macros, I'm sure you're all wondering what I've been doing lately.

Fangirling over Irie Shouichi mostly. So let this be my first fangirl post that does not involve offensive ridicule of Squalo Superbi. I'm not going to go too much into why I love Shouichi, but I am going to post a translation of his character vocal. Shou-chan's song is called "No Control", and I love it to death. <3<3 Vague and not-so-vague spoilers for his character, though. Be forewarned. I think the song has a beautiful sentiment, if a bit scattered, but I think it was meant to be vague. What a wonderful voice:

Yay Shou-chan is a rock star! =D )
I've started making the X-gloves for Saboten-con Tsuna cosplay, but I wish that I had hit the future arc at an earlier point in time, because I'd totally be going as Shouichi if I had that kind of foresight. I may yet cosplay Shou-chan, but we'll have to see. I'm also in super moe mode for the Sp51 pairing of khr, which has hit me like a freight train.......a FLAMING freight train. I didn't start it, though. It was always burning. I will be posting fic soon, but not until I'm happy with it.

Work is OK, but I wish I were working more. I keep checking job sites, but no luck. I can't believe I'm going to be 22 tomorrow. I'm hoping that's a lucky number. I wish that I could share my birthday with more people, though. Being out in the middle of nowhere makes it kind of hard. I think what I really want most is to see everyone again, from Earlham and from back East.  =( Not necessarily for my birthday, but just in general. It'll be nice to have something to celebrate. I've been way too anxious lately, which has made me kind of irritable. =( I've been trying really REALLY hard to funnel my emotions into my stories, so we'll see if that works.

So, I don't recommend looking if you haven't seen up to episode 65 yet, but I would like to commemorate my finishing the Varia arc of Reborn with a montage I'd like to call: 

The Life and Times of Squalo )

Flash fic #2

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Kaiba!RAGE
Okay, so I'll be really vague about everything, but things aren't turning out as I expected, and I'm feeling pretty down. But it's not anything I can't handle so I'm alright.

To make me feel better, today I wrote some more flash fic, prompts given to me by [info]emmayori . The conditions were basically that I have to use minimal dialogue, and be as descriptive as possible. This is to get me out of some bad fanfiction habits, and also to prepare me for writing a more serious fic that I have wanted to do for awhile. To any of you who may read a couple of them, I would love some comments about how to improve my writing, because that is basically the point of these flash fics. Keep in mind that I had a time limit. ^^;;

Series: Yugioh! Duel Monsters
Prompt: Bakura and Ryou - Looking in the mirror for what's different (or what's the same) - [30 min]
Slash?: Only if you squint
How to Steal a Smile )

Series: Houshin Engi
Prompt: Taikoubou - Meditation while Fishing - [25 min]
Slash?: No.... ^^;;;;
Fishing for Silence )

Series: Reborn!
Prompt: 5927 - How that first kiss felt (59 POV) - [20 min]
Slash?: Yes
...there were no fireworks, no whistles, and no cheering crowds. )

Series: Reborn!
Prompt: Dino - Chopsticks fail - [30 min]
Slash?: Dino/Chopsticks OTP! XD just kidding. No slash.
It was simply a matter of beating the chopsticks into submission. )

First lj ficbit post

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
So, I've started posting ficbits in my journal. Who thought it would come to this? It isn't even a good one! Prompt from megane_o_hazusu is EXTREME crack. Will not be funny if you haven't seen it, but I don't know how many times I just started laughing while writing this. It was originally going to be slash, and I had an idea, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I think I would have just died laughing. 

Series: Reborn!
Characters: Ryouhei and Colonello
Prompt: The Most Dangerous Game
This was EXTREMELY fun to write )

July 11th, 2009

So I just discovered StumbleUpon from my sister, and I can't stop. It's a terrible internet addiction that leads to different internet addictions. DON'T DO IT. Just. Don't. You'll never be able to stop.

In other news, I'm really really really worried the cosplay wigs are not going to get here on time. Emmayori and I have decided to drop one of the cosplays, but we're still trying to do two: Princess Tutu and the Surprise. I hope they come together at the end, because we've gone through too much work to stop now. I'm planning on making Tutu's necklace today. The first attempt didn't work, but I think I've got a better idea of how to do it, now.

My car is in the shop, and so I am stuck in the house today. Not that I'm complaining. Everyone needs a little down time every once and awhile.... but that leaves me to do things on the computer, and I think there's something wrong with mine. I keep getting error messages from avgsnx and I don't know what that means, except that it's screwing up my computer. I'm not very computer savvy, but I think it has something to do with the fact that I just upgraded my internet browser to firefox, because youtube will not work with internet explorer 7 much longer (it told me). And I uh...like youtube. If only because I can watch Yugioh 手書き on it. XD

I'm completely hopeless, in case we didn't already know that already.

Also, I have a ryou!muse that wants me to write. I hope that I have a chance to use him soon.

blaaaah-ness

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
yep. you guessed it. Failed my calculus test. Well, not for sure. I guess I need to wait for my grade, but he can keep it. I don't want it.

I'm beginning to think more and more that I have SAD (Seasonal Affectedness Disorder). I can't see any other reason why I am so depressed, anyway. I was going to buy a heat lamp but then icemice and faloonmaster reminded me that I am not a plant. I know there's something like a lamp for medical use. I kind of wonder what biological mechanisms are at work in making me want to cry and sleep all day in the fall and winter. It seems awfully counterproductive.

I took a quiz about Fantasy archetypes. Apparently I'm the Pillar-of-Strength Love Interest, like Arwen or Guienivere. Should I be insulted?

Okay, I found this meme on a random community, so anyone who wants to participate, feel free!:

Assemble a superteam from your various fandoms.
Your team must consist of the following:

(1) Team Leader
(1) Warrior
(1) Smartypants
(1) Hottie
(1) Comic Relief
All your superteam members must be from DIFFERENT fandoms.

Now assemble their rival supervillain team:

(1) Master
(1) Loyal Lapdog
(1) Mad Scientist
(1) Bloodthirsty Assassin
(1) Lovable Failure
Like your superhero team, all members must be from different fandoms.

MY question in this meme is: who would win? Your supervillians or superheroes?

My superheroes and supervillains )

Spiders on a Train

Add to Memories Tell a Friend

Okay. So. We had our first Tokyo train experience today, complete with helpers to help shove people into the cars. We were sardines. No one needed to hold onto anything, because there was nowhere to move. Apparently the commute is like that every day. I`m a little frightened. Maybe if my host family lives farther away I`ll get a seat, instead of standing. Anyway, I`m glad I`m not chlostrophobic. 

So there was this guy who was sleeping standing up, right next to us. But there was a HUGE spider crawling on his neck, right at eye level. I didn`t really flinch so much, but others were scared half to death. I thought it was weird, almost a little funny. He was dozing off and this spider was crawling all over his ear and then his cheek and down his back. Everyone held their breath like it was going to jump out and bite their heads off. I suppose it could have. I have no idea what kind of spider it was. He was sleeping the whole time, though. But I guess you had to be there. 

For our first time on a train, it was definitely a memorable experience. I felt bad because everyone was talking about it in English, in the hopes that no one understood, because no one seemed to. But I didn`t want to be rude. That seems rude to me. I just couldn`t help laughing. I was tired, okay, and a little giddy. So I kept laughing at it. In retrospect it really wasn`t that funny. Just a little awkward.

Hey! For anyone who's interested there's supposed to be a cool illusion this weekend. I mean, there's always interesting stuff going on in the sky, but I thought it was especially interesting.

Also, I saw the rest of Live At Brickston. haha. I couldn't stop laughing. Oh, and I recommend Oceans 13, if only for the beautiful directing.... And George Clooney! =D

I am also missing the second CD of my Nutcracker Ballet set. It makes me really sad, because that one has the Waltz of the Flowers on it. But then again, I'm finding that I'm missing a lot of things. Like socks. And I really mean that. I don't just lose them...I miss them, too.

June 14th, 2007

Well, I had another weird dream. It's weird how this has become like...a dream journal. Oh, well. 


Oh. And after reading volume ten, I've decided my OTP for Death Note must be Light/Mikami, because...omg, I'm just so amused. They'd just smite all the other OTPs, and make them cower in fear. Where Light/anyone is just frighting, Light/Mikami is downright terrifying, not to mention INSANE!!! (in all caps with three exclaimation points)--The way a true Death Note OTP should be. <3 We'll just have to see how it holds up in later volumes. You never know....they might never meet. And that would make me sad. Either way, it deserves an icon or a color bar at the very least.

On a Shaman King note---aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. episode 48----Horo Horo!!!! His hair! What? How could this be?! Did I actually think a 12-year-old animated character was hot? No way. I refuse to believe it. *_* Nevertheless, I think my brain might have fizzled and died every single one of the twenty times I watched that scene. I love Ren even more every episode, but my true love who is not Horo Horo is actually Bason. I wish the spirits had a bigger role, because I absolutely love his character!! Why is this? I have no idea. I just love him, I don't need a reason. So through loving Bason, by default, I love Ren. But only by default. =P

WHYYY?!

WHY am I such a dork? Why do I feel like writing fanfiction when I have a mountain of work to do?! I'm feelig so creative, and this presentation is going to pummel me into the ground. I'm not even going to think about the quiz tomorrow. I refuse to think about it. 

CURSE YOU HOUSHIN ENGI BACKGROUND! CURSE YOU SILVER PAIR! CURSE YOU ALL.... all of you. Even you, YES you, RAMAR, for writing "Wild Flowers" and renewing my Zoids obsession. And especially YOU, Konomi-sensei, you crazy drunk. Actually, I don't know if you're a drunk, there are other possible reasons Atobe might've regrown his hair in your latest installment like for instance....uh....drugs, ya crackhead.

I just don't know what to do with myself. All of this creative energy is going (along with my higher thought functions) as we speak. Coffee could remedy this, but it's way too late for a coffee smoothie. I feel like I'm thirteen; this is really silly. Then again, this writing aura, it's once-in-a-lifetme, it's miraculous--- it's a banana split with THREE maraschino cherries. 

AHAHA, I'm just pulling this out of my butt. 

Help, please?

My new year's resolution iiiiis...

I'm not sure. Okay. No. no. I am. I'm going to try and wash my face twice a day and... not eat so much chocolate and... try and talk more and.... and...stay healthy! That includes doing exercise every once and awhile. There. I am resolute. It is new years. It is done.

I hope my knee will serve me nicely this new year. My knee has been acting-up but I'M TOO YOUNG TO HAVE JOINT PROBLEMS. And yet every time I bend over, my kneecap slides too far and I'm in pain. I'm fairly sure I can move my kneecap to places where it shouldn't go. My dad has always said it runs in his family, but I shouldn't have problems with it slipping while I'm walking, I don't think...hm.

Anyway, I wish everyone a happy healthy new year! *raises glass of apple juice* Cheers!

I have been rated as Marluxia by the [info]org13_rating community!

Totally not what I was expecting, but hey, I might be pretty accurate if I were part of an evil organization and didn't have a heart. Besides, the hot pink scythe... *grins* come on. That's awesome. He really is one of my favorite Organization XIII members. Now I've got it in my head to find some sort of a Marluxia icon someone will let me steal/use/worship. I wish I had the materials to make a nice one myself. I did some research. haha. Don't laugh! I totally forgot everything about Chain of Memories. But now I understand their characters a lot better. And I totally had a dulled and very wrong first impression of Marluxia, especially.

Also, I started watching Zoids Genesis, which I really have enjoyed so far. It's not as good as the classic version, of course. If this makes sense, Gundam SEED is to Gundam as Zoids Genesis is to Zoids. Ha! Beat that analogy! No, seriously. It's exactly like that. Tons of characterization and gorgeous art, but an original plot is somewhat lacking. More on that later, I guess. I also saw about 10 episodes of Touch. It's about baseball, so get that thought out of your mind. ;D It was....very 80s. I don't really feel like seeing any more of it, though.

I think there's something wrong with me. 

First Whistle! .... now Eyeshield 21. This is absolutely not good for my health. In addition, or maybe on a side note, I have a tremendous urge to draw fanarts until my eyes bleed.

I can't believe that Sena's voice actor is also Sora. Speaking of...I picked up Chain of Memories again. I'm still stuck. I always run out of cards before I can do any significant damage to that stupid boss. I wonder if you actually get uh...more powerful when you level up, because I'm really not seeing any difference. I hate the stupid cards. I just want to get to the end. darn them! So then I killed some random basket-heads in Tenchu and I felt better.

I finished my driving lessons. They say I'm ready for the test. I tend to disagree. I'll probably fail the touch-screen portion, just you watch. >D No. I will not give up! I need to have a positive attitude *determination*.

Kingdom Hearts 2

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Ah, I feel like such a dork, but I think I'm going through a KH2 phase. It just started today. This could be lethal, but I'm fighting it as we speak.

...

...okay, I lose.

'Dance Wataa Daaanceee!' Oh, man. If I could get that as a ringtone or something.... =3 David Bowie(aka Demyx)=love. Axel's so pretty, too! He reminds me of Zacks...except with more eye makeup, lephrachaun colors, and angst. It's been so long since I was obsessed with a videogame, it seems. Not since Tales of Symphonia. Okay, but that actually wasn't so long ago.

However, I have some suspicions as of getting my butt kicked by a sitar.


But that's all I think I have so far. Not that anything's right. I want to play more! wheee. At least I have something to do while I'm trying to learn how to drive. Not that it involves driving but... hey the new gummi thing is awesome! I love it. <3 I love everything. Well, except for the disney part... but they made it and it's sparkly so some of it was cute... I guess.

Well, I've got my work cut out for me tomorrow. Got lots of places to call, and I have to go to the center of town and look for job postings. I hope it's a nice day tomorrow. Man, my sister just gave me some Panic! at the Disco songs, and they're really good! Like really good! Really funky stuff. I don't like their heavier songs, but I like them a lot. Now that we don't have a CD store or a videogame store anywhere in town (whyyy?) ... blah. I just know I'm going to end up staying up late again tonight for no reason at all. Hey, but I discovered my mom's DVD collection, so actually I do have a reason to stay up late. She has so many I don't know where to start. No, wait. I do. The Day the Earth Stood Still. =) mm... I feel like making popcorn.

And since everyone's so curious about these two characters... I give you a sketch of...

Back

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
I am back. After my luggage went over the weight limit and everything... I ended up taking out clothes and stuffing them in my carry-on, and actually...um.... ended up wearing many more layers than I had originally intended. XD And then I briefly lost my boarding pass. That was fun.

Other than that... I wanted to play Kingdom Hearts II really badly, so I bargained with my sister until she decided not to charge me for playing it. My manipulation skills are truly to be feared. =) So I started playing it, and then she realized that her playstation wasn't broken after all, because the disk wasn't working on mine, either. We checked it and it's scratched up really badly. She could've checked before I went through all the trouble of bringing my system back. Now I'm going to end up buying another one anyway. =( It makes me sad because I want to know who Roxas is!!! Is he Sora's twin?? Namine's creation?? Is he just along for the ice cream?...we don't know... >D

So I slept, talked on the phone, and watched Avatar all day instead. It's amazing how little you can get done when you're not applying yourself.

ps. My mom and sister both have sparkly phones! THE COLORS! T-they flash COLORS! @_@ I want one...

Our class disected a bird. A cooper's hawk...just now.

I know, I know. If you eat birds, you should be able to at least disect them, but the carcass was fresh and there was blood, and it was really gross. It almost makes me want to become a vegitarian. I mean, if SAGA wasn't reason enough.

We had someone faint during it, too. She just sort of closed her eyes, wobbled a little, and then fell over. She hit her head on the table, and I felt really bad for her. I mean, he didn't even warn us or anything that we were doing a disection. It said 'anatomy' on the lab sheet, but... hey! I thought we were just reading it, alright?

Allllrighty then, I'm off to do a little drawing and get that off my mind. If only our neighbors would stop blasting their bass. I can't even hear myself think. I mean, if you had to take a video of what was in my head right now, it would be... hyotei's 'ice emperor' in my head plus random bass, all playing as background music to a bird being disected with amino acids floating around in the background.

What a weird afternoon.
