I wish I could give this a better intro but here:

It has sucked sleep, socialness and a love life (yeah, right) from me. But I am oh so proud.

Fashion. Scandal. Pretty pictures. Click and be amazed!!!

Aaaand don't forget to vote on the poll.

XOXO,
Angeline

1. My username is ______ because ______: legendarcy because like 157309415832 times I've misspelled "legendary" as "legendarcy" and thought it was an awesome username.

2. My name is _____ because ______: I'm the motherflippin' Marquise of Misandry because it used to just be "I'm the motherflippin'" from that song by Flight of the Conchords, then I think Rory was making people royalty in chat one day (on account of him being British and all Brits being royalty) and I added my royal title and never changed it.

3. My journal is titled ____ because ____: there are worlds out there where the sky is burning & the sea's asleep because it's from the last lines of the original series of Doctor Who and I've always loved that quote: "There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, and the sea's asleep, and the rivers dream; people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, somewhere else the tea's getting cold. Come on, Ace. We've got work to do."

4. My default userpic is ____ because ____: New! It's a pic of Ten with Ace in the background and it says Ace was here because Ace is the most amazing companion ever and fuck Rose and RTD too a little for forgetting that there were a WHOLE SHIT LOAD of companions BEFORE Rose and never mentioning ANY of them EVER. Yay Ace!

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.

I'm kind of impressed with myself. :D

Woooo! Just counted everything up!

31474 / 30000 words. 105% done!

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.

( Threads )

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 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.

Dear Flist,

wished really, really needs a Roger Davies. One who is kind of prattish for Angelina and Katie to give lots of shit to.

We also really need a Percy, because my world just isn't complete without a Percy.

Pretty please?

We have awesome plot and awesome mods and Weird Sisters!

YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!

This post brought to you by an AIM conversation in which livelovehump and I agree that we need a Roger again

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.

( pay no attention to the woman behind the curtain )

Some things that you should know before you comment this asking for me to be a line somewhere..

I like PSL, high school comms, college comms, and especially anyone who is friendly. I won't talk to you ever again if you say something hurtful to me. I get enough of that in RL, with nothing going right apparently, so I don't need it in IJ.

Secondly, I generally like playing characters who are in their 16-29, somewhere around those ages.

Favorite PBs I would like to work against are: James McAvoy, Joseph Gordon Levitt, David Henrie, Cody Linley, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Justin Long, Chace Crawford, Penn Badgley, and for the girls Julia Stiles (maybe it's because her character was Larisa's character's sister in 10 Things, or maybe it's because I love The Prince & Me, and still think she should never have been replaced), Sophia Bush, Taylor Swift, Taylor Momsen, Rachel Bilson, Kristen Stewart, Leighton Meester, Blake Lively, Meaghan Jette Martin, and anyone else really.

I'm always on aim, but if I don't reply to you it's not because I don't want to talk to you, there could be different reasons like I'm too busy, or there could be a strong chance that I'm offline.

If you still want to work something out with me, fill out this form and reply. Comments will be screened for privacy.

I've been uploading icons all day. I have at least some icons uploaded for all accounts, I believe. Yesterday I did Chuck, Lorelai and Elena for Harmony and today I did Marlene for Busillis, all of my accounts for the PSLs with Kassi (save for Dominic because I haven't gotten around to finding his account and all that and Logan because I still need to make his icons) and all accounts for the PSL with Kassi and Megan (Cordelia has very few because I can't find enough icons for her... I'll have to make them)

This is going to be my plotting thread for the Next Gen Kids Kids PSL since I'm not around much and hard to reach.

I'm going to list my characters, a little blurb about their personality and beneath that list each of their love interests, siblings, cousins etc and if I have anything to start us off on plotting their relationships I'll add that, if not I'll leave it blank and we can come up with something. This is only what I knew, so I know some relationships might be missing. Also, none of mine have specified best friends yet, so if you think any specific characters of yours would get along with them really well, let me know.

Let me know what you think <3

Home from Texas and boy am I stuffed.

Happy ritual sacrifice with pie day, everyone!

I tried to feed Narcissa some turkey.

She wasn't interested.

My cat is weird, y'all.

Happy Thanksgiving!
