Today has been a very strange day. I woke up to my mom texting me to close the garage door-- our door's been broken for a while and I can't seem to fix it. We have to hold the button down to override the safety just to get the garage door to close and it's a pain in the butt but anyways yes! So I went out to do it and there was stuff falling from the sky that looked suspiciously like snow but because it's Texas it was water as it hit the ground. But twenty minutes later there was snow starting to stick and my car was covered in it by the time I was getting ready to leave.

I was really hoping my classes would be canceled, but alas, I am here until five o'clock today. I thought we don't have Medieval Europe anymore, but I heard that we're supposed to have a review session so he wants us to show up but I have nooooo idea. So I'm waiting here to see what happens. I have mini-goals, though, to help me get everything done.

Tonight I would like to finish my Italian homework and get through as much of the last part of AoaUI. Tomorrow it would be nice to get a good chunk of the research/notes I need for my paper, so that I can have that paper written and finished by Saturday, leave Sunday for my British Empire paper, and Tuesday to put all my slideshow/presentation stuff together.


Of course, nothing ever works out as I plan it, so we shall see!

TWO THINGS (sajdhsakd, why did I type two thighs first?)! Thing 1: I AM NOT GETTING NOTIFS FROM COMMUNITIES. I don't know why, I don't know how to fix it, but it's irritating me greatly.

Thing 2:
1. My username is ______ because ______: taz_means_crazy because I get told I'm crazy a lot. Back when I first made it, it was strictly RPG related stuff, character profiles and such, right, so it made sense. I'd like to change it now, but buying a rename token doesn't seem worth it.

2. My name is _____ because ______: Since my username includes my name, I use the name section for random lyrics. Currently it's I am just a speck of dusk inside a giant's eye~ which is from I Like Giants by Kimya Dawson, which is ♥.

3. My journal is titled ____ because ____: I am not an angry girl but it seems like I've got everyone fooled / no I want to be more than a pretty girl Ani DiFranco lyrics which I just really like..

4. My default userpic is ____ because ____: Stop sign graffitied to say DON'T STOP LOVIN, which I think is kind of awesome.

1. My username is ______ because ______: bleeding_coffee because when I made it I was drinking enough coffee to bleed the stuff.

2. My name is _____ because ______: Kris...cause it is.

3. My journal is titled ____ because ____: Insanity by Kris...because most of the stuff that comes out of my head is flippin' insane people!

4. My default userpic is ____ because ____: An icon of an old lady walking and her shadow is a pretty young dancer's. I liked the symbology behind it XD

1. My username is ______ because ______: morgielefae because my name is Morgan, which Morgie is sort of a diminutive of, I suppose? I don't know. People called me that and I eventually grew to accept it. And also, Morgan le Fay from Arthurian Legend. Except with more fairy. So Morgie le Fae!

2. My name is _____ because ______: Lo Haze because my nickname is Lo. Lo is one of the many, many nicknames of Dolores Haze, the title character of my favourite book, Lolita.

3. My journal is titled ____ because ____: It doesn't have one because I'm lazy. However, at my livejournal, it's "You know I ain't no Juliet", which is a lyric from my favourite song by Amanda Palmer, Ampersand. Let's say I personally identify with the song thanks to a crazy ex.

4. My default userpic is ____ because ____: Sarah from the Labyrinth. I pretty much AM Sarah from the Labyrinth, except I have much less David Bowie in my life. :( I need more Bowie, please.

Pairing: Past-life AUFrench!Sean/Lena Wood
Prompt: Simple
Requested by: NA
Notes: short but i started this weeks ago and forgot about it so i finished it tonight!

I'm not even going to attempt breaking it down, though I do have the info to do so. Either way, I'm pretty pleased with how much I wrote. :]

1. My username is ______ because ______: amor_remanet; Well, back at the end of ninth grade, when I got my first livejournal, I'd been using Duanya as an online alias (still seen in my email address) and various forms of Sailor Moon-themed silliness as backups. Duanya came from a D&D character who got shot in the face and died; the Sailor Moon stuff was just me being an obsessive fan-nerd. Anyway, when I got to LJ, I wanted to do something ~different~ and ~new~… so I put my four years of Latin class to work and made up a Latin username. It translates to "love remains," which I thought was being Poignant And Cool… and then it just stuck and I'm too attached to change it.

2. My name is _____ because ______: "Kassie: a wild tl;dr monster" because, for ages, it was "Kassie, guardian angel of emo angsty boys" courtesy of something sherlock said on some snaps cup meme (I think it was a snaps cup meme anyway?) a while back, and as much as I loved that name, I thought a change was worthwhile. Also, I talk too much.

3. My journal is titled ____ because ____: "no, not the young people. they shall be spared." This is one of my favorite lines from the translation of Strindberg's The Ghost Sonata I read for Theatre History in my freshman year. Mostly, it's because I just really liked that line. Likewise, the subtitle is, "it could be worse! we could be stuck in the audience!" from one of my favorite lines in Muppet Treasure Island. (Statler and Waldorf are the figureheads on the bow of the ship. They're discussing how much it sucks to be stuck on said bow.)

4. My default userpic is ____ because ____: Linus and his blue blanket in A Charlie Brown Christmas, forlornly staring at the fail-tree. Because it's seasonal and I've been sort of feeling like the fail-tree lately.

Because memes are fun!

Give me one or more of my characters (past or present all fair game!) and one minor character in their lives (i.e. their mother, their father, their first crush, their crazy neighbor lady, etc. etc.), and I'll tell you 5 facts AND who I'd use as a PB for said minor character.


And because I need to attempt to get organized, my to-do list for the next few days and my last one is a few entries back

( under cut because )

Very doable, I think.


Also, I've really enjoyed getting to know more about all of you in the context of the meme that's been going around! ♥

These are the threads I am currently involved in in all games. I previously had the list only posted in Harmony but since I have threads elsewhere...

They are in chronological order by game.

Strike outs are ones I don't owe, plain text I still owe. Italics are on hold for one reason or another.

You know how sometimes people on your friendslist 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 then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty 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.


( LOL, actually though, if I talk about something and you have no idea what's going on, I probably forgot to talk about it in the first place. )

X-posted from LJ, because even though I tried not to, I end up rambling in here just as much as I do there. XD

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.

To answer questions! No, I have not died! No, I'm not sure I'm alive, either. D: I've not yet started to crave any odd foods, so that's at least a good sign! Whether this will last though the rest of the Christmas season has yet to be seen. I would like to warn you if I start to mumble about "braaaaaaaiiiiins", I would have wanted you to do the humane thing and put me out of my misery. Although I'm hoping that the future weeks, until the week of Christmas, won't be as physically and mentally draining as this past week was.


...I've just pretty much invoked murphey's law by even typing that, haven't I?

Copying everyone else.

As of last night, I reached my rpwrimo goals. The biggest challenge for me was actually reaching 30,000 words in everything but my THY stuff, and I succeeded! Of course, I went on a bit of a writing spree yesterday and wrote more words in one day than I have on any other single day this month. And it's the only day that I've gotten at least a tag or journal written in every game I'm in.

I'm glad to have met my goals because the next week and a half need to be spent on school stuff; today I need to concentrate on getting this reading done so that I can actually write the paper that I need to. And once the reading is done, I'd like to at least work up some sort of outline for my Shoah project.

I can do this. I think.

For the health and sanity of Nrys/Iriock/Second Chance systems and relationships, I think we need to set some ground rules and expectations for when we all are face to face next time.

Things I need for my own sanity (and this is for BOTH other systems):

1. Time to myself at least once a day, for at least 2 hours. I realize now that I really do need it. It helps my mood and it makes me HAPPY to see the people around me, instead of resentful that I didn't get any time to myself.

2. For everyone to just pick up after themselves, so we don't feel like we're spending all of our time taking care of the house. We want to have fun too. Picking up after yourself doesn't mean putting things in piles, but putting things AWAY where they are meant to go. I try to keep the house up as much as possible, but when no one is doing their part, it gets utterly ridiculous really fast.

3. Dishes done by people who are NOT ME when I cook. And in a timely manner. This means either you all can do them together, or you can take turns. I don't care HOW they get done, just get them done, and get over it. We're all adults. Let's act like it.

4. Not eating out every meal. Or even every other meal. It's unhealthy, and we gain weight every time, and it makes this body VERY ill.

5. No pets bought on a whim. Every time, we then spend the rest of the year figuring out how to take care of said pets and feeling bad that they aren't getting as much attention as our own pets. I love animals, and we get caught up in the moment. Please let's keep Iriock sane by not making this an issue anymore.

6. Not spending $300-500 per week during the time Second Chance is here. It throws our budget off for 2-4 months and causes stress and panic. I'd like to NOT have that be a problem.

7. A pre-determined plan for at least 30% of the time. And not just "I want to get out of the house" but things like "On the weekend of the ______th, I would like to go to St. Louis, because I hear there's a great art show/game/festival/etc." MY trying to plan things out for everyone doesn't work, because I just don't care enough to plan it all out. It's not my tourist vacation. I'm more than willing to go wherever people want, even to drive all over hell and back, but I REALLY don't want to plan it. Nor do I want it to be expected that I'll pay for plans. If you find a really cool plan, and it's going to cost $10-$20 bucks a person, either expect to pay for everyone to go, or to at least run it by everyone to verify we have that kind of money. We are po' folks. Let's keep it in mind.

8. I REALLY don't want to hear whinging about how little money there is for things. I stress and panic about money. Tell me your budget and either let me keep track of it (and I WILL make you stick to it) or don't tell me the budget and simply say "there's not money for that". Trust me, it will save us ALL a lot of stress.

9. I hate being told who can be out when. Let's knock that off. Multiplicity in Iriock is an organic thing. People will come and go and sometimes you won't know them, or like them, and you're just going to have to DEAL with it. That means sometimes people won't get time they want. It means sometimes in the middle of a "scheduled time", you may get kids/animals/walk-ins/frienamies/etc you aren't expecting. Roll with it. It'll make everyone happier if they feel they aren't being BANNED from being out.

10. Each relationship between the bodies is important. Nyrs doesn't disappear from Iriock's life just because Second Chance is in the house. This is really to remind US. Because we SUCK at figuring out how to balance our life. We are going to try to do a LOT better at this, by taking time to spend JUST with Nyrs sometimes when Second Chance is here. That isn't a "I don't want to spend time with SecC", it's "I want to have a marriage left when SecC goes back to the UK". Because... um, I almost didn't this last time. Or the time before. Or the time before that. And I'd like to NOT spend 6 months trying to get my relationship back to some semblance of normalcy.



Okay, that's it for now. Now it's you all's turns. Post the things you need. And I assure you that this will get longer as I think of more. Discuss it in the comments, bitch, rant, growl.. whatever. Feel free to say "you're being really harsh" or "amen" or even "Fuck off, Iriock people" if you want to. I'm cool with it. I'm just wanting to open a dialog the three of us haven't had yet.

I haven't finished all my part two's yet but I got sick of the same questions over and over again. So here's Mo's part 3.

< brb > is not an acceptable HTML.

Using it whilst coding tables will not end well.

That is all.

All that's left is
