i just now realized...

... i'll be twenty-four tomorrow. D:

Fucking massive storm yesterday arvo. I couldn't go home. :| Thanks, The Weather.

A (smaller) massive storm this morning too. There's going to be another one today later on, apparently. :| Hopefully when I get home first.

Go to www.stormscapesdarwin.com and check out the photos on the 2009/10 chasers page. Awesome to look at, but it wasn't that awesome being in it D= The power kept fluctuating, and I got home late, bah.

Photoshopping away :D I haven't been able to laminate anything for a while now because Kef needs to replace the ink in his printer. Hopefully by tomorrow, or I will be pissed D= I need something to do at home. I can't laminate if I can't print!

Edit, forgot: :D

The game store sent my 2nd copy of Dragon Age out with their apologies, and free AAE shipping! :D :D :D They said they didn't know why I was refunded for the original order.

I don't care. I will have Dragon Age this week.

My username is ________ because ________: lovedbythesun because I love the movie Legend. I'm ~lovedbythesun on LiveJournal as well, and when moving from GreatestJournal (formerly ~disgracefully), I decided to consolidate under one name. And it is a name I love so much. If you've never seen Legend, GET THEE TO A BLOCKBUSTER. It is amazing 80s fantasy movie nonsense, with Tom Cruise in drapey leather, Mia Sara as a princess, and Tim Curry as the fucking DEVIL. The American soundtrack, done by a band called Tangerine Dream, for this movie is fantastic, and Loved By the Sun is just... soul-moving. HERE HAVE A VIDEO AND GET THE CHILLS, YOURSELF. Also, listen to THIS ONE because I love it to bitty bitty bits. The scene that goes along with it is just marvelous.

My name is ________ because ________: i'm lost but i'm hopeful because ... well, it's how I feel most of the damn time. It's a line from the Alanis Morissette song Hand in My Pocket. There are a few songs and CDs in the world that I fully connect to, and Jagged Little Pill was one of them. This line stands out the most, because again, it's how I feel a lot of the time. I'm a little lost in the world, drifting a bit. But I'm always hopeful that things will turn out for the best.

My journal is titled ________ because _________: i've got one hand in my pocket and the other is giving a peace sign because... same song as above. I like my names and journal titles to match, and this one just fit. A lot of pictures taken of me, I AM giving a peace sign.

My default userpic is ________ because ________: Drew Barrymore giving, you guessed it, a peace sign. Drew Barrymore has been a fascination of mine since I was little and discovered we had the same birthday. And the year I was born was the year of her breakout role in E.T.. She's overcome a lot of shit in her life and is her amazing quirky self, and that's something that I aspire to.


( Also, have this personal info meme. Because I know you are dying to know. )

1. My username is ______ because ______: a_chr0i because it is. it is my handle almost everywhere. a chroi "uh KREE", is an irish term of endearment, roughly translating to "my heart." mie's otp character to mine used to call her that. so yeah, it is not pronounced 'ah kroy", but "uh kree"!

2. My name is _____ because ______: "apple spyder obama, from a womb with cat disease" because all night chats lead to some crazy shit. i am pronto's baby, and flyspeck is my twin. i am the pretty twin, and he is the jewish twin. the cat womb comes from the STARTLING FACT that apparently cats can be pregnant with the babies of separate fathers ATE THE SAME TIME WOAH.

3. My journal is titled ____ because ____: blank. cause it's like my soul. jk i just dont have one.

4. My default userpic is ____ because ____: part of the boston skyline because a) it is beautiful and b) i see that skyline every time i cross over the charles river into cambridge to go to job #2. the big building on the right is the prudential center. in boston, you call it the pru.

( current version of my twilight english paper! i plan to do more revisions. ty all so much for your help. warning, this shit is like 7 pages. )

Michael Weitz, I fucking love you.

THAT IS TO SAY HI, I WAS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO RENAME MY JOURNAL, SO ~IRRIDESCENT IS NOW sandinista, SINCE I AM A RETARD CLASH FANGIRL! :D :D :D

EDIT: Oh hey and this is also yet another notice to acknowledge that I am a failure. Bbl readding all of you.

Sometimes I don't even know why I really do roleplay at times. I mean, I enjoy the games and everything I'm in PSL-wise and everything but I found out that I let myself get walked over at times when it comes to role-playing. And what I mean by that is I am quick not to let myself try to pick a side when it comes to things and I wish to be everybody's friend. So when someone asks me to take a char, usually I will. And not that I mind. Otherwise I wouldn't have fallen in love with Nicodemus or Flora or Michèle like I have. Also if not for that, I never would have tried my hand at Ted, but sometimes I feel like I allow myself to be a pushover. I know I'm not...but maybe I need to learn to say no more often.

That in mind, I found out about Joy's new game and talked to her about it for a bit via email. I was actually pleased to hear her side of the story about BW closing, since I didn't know that was the actual reason for it's demise and I really do feel sorry that she had to go through what she did with the drama and all that. It seems like a low blow to do just that and it frustrates me that people could act like that. I mean, we always get told in games not to cross the IC | OOC line too, so wouldn't the same thing be applicable with a Mod and the person in general? They are two separate professions but yet people are rash to assume the two are one and of the same.

The same applies to players actually. Sure we play our characters and we adore them and love them, but that doesn't mean we are them. So, if a player does something wrong in a game, are we supposed to be mad at them as a personal in general solely because they may have ruined a plotline you had or the thread didn't go as plan? NO. They have emotions outside of the game. They have lives outside of the game. And it's really that immaturity which frustrates me at times.

Hopefully it'll get better over time, but I have my doubts to say the least.

BUT I AM ANOTHER MEME O GOD. Seriously, if you looked at these fucking outlines and saw that I was doing stupid shit like describing the shape of an amphora or the usage of a fucking vase (seriously, it is a vase, ITS PURPOSE IS TO SIT AROUND YOU DICKHEAD), then hahahaha you would maybe understand my total lack of desire to write this. How do you even write the opener to this pile of dick? Ugh, whatever I'll get it out... after I write this.

1. My username is ______ because ______: ~irridescent sounded like a good idea at the time! I was moving over to IJ and didn't really think that I'd be using this for much (HAHAHAHAHA) since it was at the beginning of my tentative foray into RP again and wasn't sure if it would last. So I was all, "LMAO SOMETHING SHIMMERY SPARKLY SURE!" and then I realized as soon as I made it that I fucking misspelled the damned word. If I thought that I was going to be here longer, I would have made the journal name reflect yours truly a little more, such as ~teasexual, which was my journal over at GJ. But, such is life! Someday, I'll be able to afford a rename token and then I really will become ~teasexual since I was never able to get any of The Clash renames that were on the market. 8|

EDIT: WOW SOMEONE WAS NICE AND GAVE ME A RENAME TOKEN, but in return IJ fucked up and deleted all my friends even though I said "I would like to keep all my friends plz," omg fml.

2. My name is _____ because ______: "Haydn taught me NOTHING!" is from a Kate Beaton comic about Beethoven. It was too fucking perfect. It'll probably change the next time something lmao-worthy comes about.

3. My journal is titled ____ because ____: "The hope is that you cannot see me later. / I am an introvert, an excavator" is straight from Santogold's "L.E.S. Artistes," which really does earmark me as some faggy hipster dickweed. Beyond that, though, it's a song about working hard for something you love and not wanting stupid mouthbreathers to suck off of you just because they can tell that you're the next big thing, and I think the lyrics about work ethic are something I can identify with even if it makes me look pretentious as hell. Also, it's just a nice song.

4. My default userpic is ____ because ____: BABY SLOTH SPOONING WITH A HAND because HOLY FUCK YOU RETARD, IT IS A FUCKING BABY SLOTH SPOONING WITH SOMEONE'S HAND, ARE YOU RETARDED?! Unless you are poor Ms. andrewryan, in which case I am just an asshole who terrifies her every time I post.

From The Why Five @ Livejournal.


1.) My Mom's Cooking: I honestly believe that my mom is the best cook on the face of the planet. Everything she makes is good. I love her homemade chili, macaroni and cheese, potato salad, vegetable soup and just so many more. I'd rather have my mom's cooking than eating out, most of the time.

2.) Chocolate: I love chocolate. I love dark chocolate and milk chocolate. I like the occasional white chocolate (think Hershey's Cookies and Creme). I love the fancy stuff and I love candy bars. I love chocolate.

3.) Cheesecake: Cheesecake is my favorite dessert. I'll eat cheesecake any way a person can fix it, from fruit toppings, to Oreo crusts, to pieces of chocolate found in it. Cheesecake is always amazing.

4.) Waffle House: Waffle House food always makes me happy. Maybe it's my roots showing but there's nothing better than a cheesestake omelette, homefries covered in cheese and onions, a bowl of grits and some sweet tea. Yeah, there's nothing at all healthy about it, but it's still good.

5.) Chinese Food: One of my favorite things is to go out for dinner with my baby sister and go out for some Chinese. I love the Terryaki Chicken, the Lo Mein and the Egg Rolls. Not to mention, I also enjoy her conversation. It's one of my favorite ways to spend an evening out.

Well, the Christmas season is in full swing around my house. I've already got most of my Christmas shopping done. Which, I'm really relieved when it comes to that. All I got left is my mother. My mom is always the hardest person to get a gift for, so it makes sense why she is so hard to buy for. Not to mention, Nick and I both got goodies this past weekend. Nick got Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock for her PS2 and we both got boxsets. We got Hex, Season 1. Which was this awesome British show. We watched half of it, but we lost BBC America, so we couldn't finish it. And, we also got Seasons 1 and 2 of Roswell. Which, we both were fans of it back in the day, and have been watching re-runs on Hulu. But now, we can watch it on T.V., which is more comfortable. So, it looks like Christmas time is here.

With Guitar Hero. My god, I love that game! I have so much fun playing it and I've gotten better with it. We got it on Friday and I couldn't play worth a damn. But now, I can at least get through some of it. Not exactly a pro or anything, but, better than I thought. I especially own on "When You Were Young" by The Killers and "Miss Murder" by AFI. Bad thing about it though, is that I'm stuck seeing the notes. When I close my eyes to go to sleep. I see the green, red and yellow and I hear the music. I'm especially stuck hearing "Barracuda" by Heart and "Sunshine of Your Love" by Cream. But this game is just so much fun. Yes, things do come late to my side of the fence.

I also spent yesterday looking through some of my writing from when I was a teenager. Dude, some of that was so damned bad! The rampant Mary-Sues, the stereotypes, nothing making any real sense, the bad dialogue and the contradictorialness of it all! I was facepalming the whole time I was reading through some of it. My only excuse for all of it, is that I was a teenager at the time and I was really just starting out. One thing that I was proud of myself for, was that even though some of it was horrendous, that I tried to make my own lore and world. I did a lot of world-building. So, that is at least something to feel proud about. But at the same time, there were some actual good pieces in the mix. Most of those came after the teen years. I put them aside and I'm going to go through some of those and maybe rewrite, edit, and maybe even try to publish them. Hey, there are always some diamonds mixed in the dirt.

I've also started my Ginny and Sebastian novel. I'm not writing it linear. I'm writing things down as they come. I think for some reason, writing this novel would be hard to do linearly. Since there is so much backstory and exposition, I think writing it as it comes works best. I also got some research to do on it. I got to research Medieval France, Imperial Spain, and 50's Vegas. Yes, there is always homework. I just hope that this turns out better than my last novel attempts.

Nick and I were talking yesterday and we're going to revive an old RP of ours: Auburn Heights. We found our notes for it, while I was looking through my tub of writing and we thought why not. We had a ton of things for that world we created. True, none of the old faces are going to show up. But, we will probably try some of the concepts for them. I'm kinda' excited about this. We had so much fun during that time, and maybe it might work out this time.

Today is A.I.D.S. Awareness Day. Go out and spread the word about this horrific disease. Hopefully, one day, we can overcome it.

I've been on twitter for less than two hours and I can't deal. AHHH

Anyone who sees me trying to do anything RP-related now that my last steamtrek application is submitted should shoot me on site, as I have a paper that is due and I am not allowed to do anything (beyond get RPWriMo tags out) before it is submitted, ok? OK.

BUT BEFORE I SAID THIS, I DID A MEME 8D 8D 8D:

You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute. Since when were they working there? Since when were they dating him/her? Since when?" And you wonder how you could have missed all of that seemingly standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification, because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes. Please copy the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. One word answers seldom help anyone out.

( Read this, motherfuckers, I know you gaf about how awesome I am. )

Without fail, nearly every weekday morning until the middle of the afternoon, my life is hell. I'm just really frustrated.

I FINISHED RPWRIMO! For a while I wasn't sure that I would but it's just after 11pm on the 30th and I just got to 30 005 words. So I'm very happy!

30005 / 30000 words. 100% done!

YAY!!

( Breakdown of word count. )

Also, I probably won't be around much until Friday. I might comment here and there but otherwise I won't be around.

BOOYAH!

CLOSED.
REMOVE damone & ADD desiarnaz

Well, I already posted my Christmas wish list this year. But, I decided to add on. It's not out of greed, but because of Nick. She's having a hard time finding me a present, so, I decided to add on to help her out. This was the original list:

Candles
Hershey's Pot of Gold
"Living Dead in Dallas" by Charlaine Harris (Book)
"Club Dead" by Charlaine Harris (Book)
Journal
Tea Sampler
A bottle of Arbor Mist (Strawberry kind)


Now, this is the extended list:

A six-pack of Smirnoff Ice (that one is still on my parents' list)
Echo - Leona Lewis (CD)
Casanova - (the one with Heath Ledger) - (DVD)
The Illusionist (DVD)
All or Nothing - Jay Sean (CD)
Movie tickets to Sherlock Holmes (I've been waiting all year to see this!)

So, I hope that's easier for Nick and everyone in general.

I also really love the new Chris Brown song. I'm gonna have to download this.

NCIS Crew! Let's lock this shit down- What should they do? I think (and this is just me) for the sake of the game, we should have them come from a more mundane background. I think we can still apply the show to our characters and character relationships. I think it would be really fun to people from a newspaper. Maybe a law office? Let me know what you think.

School Field Trip people!

( stuff about the school )

OH HI, PEOPLE I PUT ON THAT WILLIAM FILTER! This is a case of "UM SORRY IF THAT SHIT SURPRISED YOU, I PUT YOUR CHARACTERS IN THERE ON A WHIM THING!!!!" Because um, failboat, usually I'd be e-mailing or IM-ing you guys instead of sinking into a gigantic application/paper black holes due to my obsessive need to Communicate With Everybody About Small Shit, but instead I am making a CDJ post after the fact. I am not even sure what to say about what William needs from x or y quite yet since I am kind of everywhere at once at the moment, so more take this as an apology or what have you because fml I will follow up soon I promise, even if it's to say "DON'T WORRY, WHAT YOUR CHARACTER HAS OFFERED WILL TOTALLY SUFFICE," awfepoijawefopijawef.

Although -- MISS JJ, THIS IS ESPECIALLY FOR YOU: if the shit William said about ~darque and shady people~ sounds off, omg I can has deleting. I was more thinking that surely, surely Hanselle has said something about Space Exploration and weird smugglers or whatever in their sitting around the house and talking about shit they've done in the past kind of thing, which would have William thinking: maybe she met Fancy Space Scientists in Space that dick around with magic whatever for shits and giggles in a Curie-Capet kind of way! (Although idk that he knows about Nora, but that is neither here nor there.) If that is out of line or whatever, let's just pretend that idk William forgot or whatever.

That being said, I am going to go back to trying to write an app that never ends, a paper, and reply to stuff. Guys, if you've sent me things in the past week or so, I promise I will get back to them. In the case of RPWriMo people, I will get you log tags so that you can round out your wordcount by tomorrow. bbl though sobbing.
