Because I just couldn't be arsed to post yesterday. I couldn't be arsed to finish today's quota either, and it's a miracle that I got anything at all. But I went running? I'm starting a training program. I also worked on this horrible awful terrible Pandora Hearts fanfiction that spawned from Chapter 42 involving Break and Gil and Vincent and I am going to have to write my first sex scene ever and we will leave it at that. Anyways, I may just end up doing productive things instead of finishing NaNo this year. I WILL set my lower limit at 500/day though. I ain't slacking off THAT much.

Summary: Sophie and Emma drag Wolf out for groceries. Ian meets up with Lillian and annoys her before they rendezvous with Chloe.
Comments: Oh Wolf. I missed you so much. So so much. Too bad I still have little to no motivation to write this right now.

( Souffrant. Like an exotic spice or a modern art piece.  )

Tis the season! I don't think I'll be able to finish this year, and I'm off to a really shaky start, but I'll give it my best shot anyhow. This year's NaNo is a scifi deal about the crew and passengers of a police patrol shuttle that plays taxi to petty criminals to turn some profit on the side. It's a cast of characters that I've worked with before, and I thought I'd try writing up how one of the main crew got with them in the first place, since she's the only  who has a real story behind it.

Summary: Ian's having a bad day while Thakkar and Quincy hash out a deal.
Comments: ...It's weird to write these guys in prose format instead of comic scripts. Thakkar TALKS. He never did that before, yknow. But then I gave him narration of the scene and BAM tl;dr. What the fuck happened?

So I've been doing some cleaning again, this time going through old notebooks and throwing out class stuff I don't need anymore. Including all my math. Let me tell you, it was the best feeling in the world to see years of math notes disappear into the recycling bin forever. Annnyways, I've also found some pretty strange things in my notes, like I find any time I look through old stuff, so I thought I'd  share. So far I have discovered:

- A calc problem where I stopped copying it down in the middle and just drew a train wreck with a smilie face next to it.
- Longcat, the Italian edition, complete with translated memes.
- Franziska von Karma whipping an improper fraction and telling it to get its act together
- A page of chem notes that somehow degenerated into half a page of faces with no hair or features except for empty-looking eyes... all staring at a single reaction equation.

So I watched The Re-Animator the other night and I'm officially a big fan of Herbert West. It was like dad's bad old scifis, but in colour and with more radioactive green life serum.



ANON MEME


Also I finally got chocolate to temper right but discovered that luster dust keeps it from setting and I still suck at two-sided molds.

Things I found while cleaning my room:

- Two cards from my 9th birthday
- The unopened housing info envelope from my freshman year dorms
- A bag full of tennis balls (I don't play tennis or own a dog)
- A sticky triceratops. You know, like those sticky hands, but a dinosaur.
- A laminated badge saying "My name is *CENSORED* and I am a celebrtion bell." ....Look, I don't even know.
- A styrofoam heart that says "friend" and has a bite out of one corner- a HUMAN-SHAPED bite mind you.
- Swedish directions from a weaving loom I don't own- my mom lived in Sweden for a year as a kid but I have no idea how this made its way to MY room...
- ....
- "Music for the Bellydancer"- this is a CD. PS, I don't bellydance.
-A pair of "stilts" made out of paint cans and rope

( ARE YOU BRAVE ENOUGH FOR THIS CUT )
hug me too please

beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssss

O-HO. YOU THINK I'LL GIVE UP JUST BECAUSE I HAVE NO TALENT? YOU THINK I'LL GIVE UP JUST BECAUSE I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR HOURS WITH NO VISIBLE PROGRESS?

WELL FUCK THAT.

I WILL STAND AND PERSIST IN ALL MY UNSKILLED HIDEOUSLY BAD GLORY, AND I WILL NOT GIVE UP UNTIL I AM SKILLED, AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME.


Because I make up in mindless enthusiasm what I lack in talent. You'd better believe it.

Almost definitely failed calc B, first time failing a class.
Changed my flight to 6:30 AM (6:30 AM!!) Sunday to accommodate tomorrow's 10 AM final.
Came back from calc final to a note on my door saying housing for Summer I runs out today.
Negotiated with the housing office to let me pay $30 to stay till tomorrow at 10 AM (why yes that is also when my bio final is.)
Still have not had a chance to open new laptop, e key on old laptop now completely gone.
Birthday package from parents still missing due to address mixup.
Now sleeping on boyfriend's couch until Sunday, thank god he is helping me so much, but also means I will probably be seeing him and his friends nonstop when I really just want to hermit for forever.
Oh yes.
Still no fall housing arranged.
Still haven't had time to see if chemistry transferred properly or get my textbook back from them.
Also Endless Eight will be 6 epiosdes long and Haruhi S2 may just be a big huge Kadokawa troll (poor KyoAni's taking the fall.)

FML.

Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday! Now I can get drunk (legally) and Honey can stop calling me jailbait. ...Wait that'll never happen. Oh well, it was a good try.

Also,


HAPPY 4TH OF JULY, MY USA BUDDIES~

GO FORTH AND BLOW SHIT UP!

My laptop is officially bricked. Like, will no longer function ever. If I'm lucky I get it to start up but it is obviously missing some crucial windows framework that lets anything run. It fails a bunch of memory tests in a particular location (dimm_A or something?) and I generally suspect that I have a problem with either the ram or, god forbid, the processor, but I don't even have a goddamn screwdriver to open it up and check right now... I'll be getting one later today, but I'm not hopeful at all and I don't have any replacement parts unless I make a trip to best buy, so I'm probably just going to vanish from everywhere for the next 2 weeks while my laptop comes.

And that's assuming it comes by June 16th like the phone guy said and not July 15th like the website says.

So, uh, cheers? And I didn't get kidnapped or anything I promise. I might even check this sometimes when I'm on library computers for schoolwork, but other than that the nearest computer lab to my dorm is seriously a 20 or 30 minute walk, and you don't really want to be walking around this campus alone at night, which is when I'm inclined to be online. So. Seeya in a fornight, LJ!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YAMI-MMMMMMMMM-
-Just kidding, I wouldn't call you that on your birthday. BUT HAVE A GOOD ONE. <33

First, question! Anyone in Atlanta want to join me tomorrow for a free class on Maya, that 3D animation program I've been trying and failing to learn? It's in Duluth and you have to bring your own computer but if you don't have the software they provide you with a free demo version or something. I'm pretty excited.


And now, here is why you should never ever ever ever do memes fromhoneycorrupts ... *SIGH*

Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.

BUT HONEY GIVES BAD WORDS AND NOW I SOUND LIKE A PEDOPHILE FFFFFFFF YOU SUCK HONEY. XD

Breasts- They're round and soft and they come on girls. I must admit, I'm pretty fond of them. I'm more of a boob guy than an ass guy, myself.

Jail bait- PEDOBEAR PEDOBEAR PEDOBEAR SEALAND PEDOBEAR (caitlinneko  I'm talking to you 8D )

Little girl voices- ...They're. Shrill. And squeaky. and generally make me rage hard. AND I DO NOT HAVE ONE FUCK YOU HONEYYYYYY

Writing- My second abusive husband, besides CLAMP. I love to hate it. I do a lot of writing, but I don't like most of what I write and I lose attention so damn fast that i can never finish a story. Even NaNoWriMos. I get 50,000 words but I'm not DONE. While we're on the subject, god bless my cowriter, Zach, for putting up with me working on this comic because I have been such a brat. 8D (Also while we're on the subject, we're looking for an artist if anyone knows someone who wants to draw a comic.)

College- College is... an experience. I'm glad I'm going, but I still think I'm in the wrong major. I should've gone into graphic design or something. But at the same time, maybe I would've gotten sick of that and wished I'd done biopsych. I think college is great, but the problem is that you'll always end up hating your major because you're just spending so much time on it and being in many classes for it that stress you out and you eventually associate it with stress and then you don't like what you do by the time you graduate and... well.. it's an imperfect system, but I don't know how to fix it. I don't think you can fix it.

Annnnnd that's it. Also my laptop is DYYYYIIIIIING SOOOOOOO HARRRRRD and I've got a new one ordered. I wanted to name it Break because I'm on a Pandora Hearts rampage, but that's too ominous so I'm going to name it "please don't Break". I got a 500 gb external so I can back up this laptop's data... I'm calling it Emily. 8D *DORK DORK DORK*




Oh yeah, PS, final things I'm watching this season:  Pandora Hearts was my SURPRISE! YOU LOVE THIS SERIES! pick, Eden of the East is the obligatory quality, and
HOLY SHIT HARUHI SEASON 2

Pick of the season: Eden of the East, for so so many reasons.

Definitely Watching
Eden of the East- in the first ten minutes, the obnoxious heroine is interrupted by a naked nut job with a cell phone and a gun. WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE?
Pandora Hearts- Alice in Wonderland themes make me too warm and fuzzy to drop this. Also Victorian costumes. Ffffffffffff my secret weakness is revealed.

Probably Watching
07 Ghost- This series rides on its supporting cast, because the main character is THE least interesting character I've seen in years. Except maybe Syaoran. Fortunately, the supporting cast looks pretty good so far.
Asura Cryin- because the characters are colourful, the story isn't horrible, and it had this inexplicable power to keep me interested despite being a B-grade show. EDIT: 2nd and 3rd episodes have left me less interested. We'll see.
Shinkyoku Sōkai Polyphonica Crimson S- ...Don't judge me! But seriously, I am so surprised by how much this series does not suck. I mean, it still DOES suck, but it sucks so much less than it ought to with a title like that. And the characters look sort of interesting, so I'll watch this until it gives me a good reason not to.

Dropped
Ristorante Paradiso- Charming, but boring. Just another reverse harem anime, except the men are all older and have glasses, and some of them are married. Teenage girls trying to break up marriages isn't my thing.
Shangri-La - If this anime didn't suck so so so badly, I would watch it just for the drag queen.
...
....OTOKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Phantom- Requiem for the Phantom- Bee Train does it again. That's. That's really all I can say here.
Valkyria Chronicles- Quaint, but not great. Also, what is up with that shading.
Arad Senki- Watching it made my IQ drop about 20 points. Dropped less than 10 minutes in.
Hagaren 2- Pretty good, but it's still Fullmetal Alchemist. Still can't make me care about the characters. I'll watch a few more, but probably dropping.
Hanasakeru Seishounen- Why did I think trying this was a good idea? ....Oh right, because the promo art was pretty. Too bad IT SUCKS ASSSSSSSSS.



Anyways, that's about the size of it.
....
.... >_>
.... <_<
....OTOKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

THE TRUTHORDARE MEME

Go go go, people. I don't have enough ways to waste my time, apparently.

Post on new season anime coming soon, just as soon as I have time to watch the rest of the ones I wanted to see. So far I think 07 Ghost and Pandora Hearts are my picks of the season, though. Pandora Hearts especially. I hope they lay off the lame humor, but god damn they do eerie right and they are playing on my Alice in wonderland fetish like you would not believe. 07 Ghost... would top Pandora Hearts if they didn't do such a damn good job of making me hate the main guy in about the first 10 seconds.

Oh, and Phantom (Requiem for Phantom)? LOLOLOL BEE TRAIN.
After the disaster that was Tsubasa, I can never take a Bee Train anime seriously again.



PS I want to take a few months after undergrad to live out of a camper and see the US. Anyone think this is stupid/awesome/have advice? I probably won't do it, but I really want to try. I've thought about it before and will regret it forever if I don't try.

PPS Icon for no reson except I havent used it in a while.

EDIT: OH GOD GO ME FOR PUTTING HTML IN THE RICH TEXT SPACE.

Watch out, this entry is all academic oriented and lame. Hence the icon, it's got Rowen in it so it's automatically the dorkiest icon I have. (Lol I miss that series.)
( Cut for rambling )

Also,
HOLY SHIT MEDUSA IS THE COOLEST CHARACTER IN THE HISTORY OF EVERRRRRRRRRRR FUCK YES SOUL EATER 60.

....Kay I'm done. 8D

Today:
~ Woke up with boyfriend in bed
~ Heard Haruhi Season 2 probably IS airing after season 1 rerun
~ Heard they're making a Jade-centric side-comic for ToA
~ Off to I-con now, which I get in for free, where I run my first D&D game ever
~ Then SPRING BREAK, FINALLY.

Conclusion: Good day. (Almost makes up for receiving confused and poor feedback on results section of research paper, followed by the realization I missed the meeting with the TA.)

Also, welcome, new friends from the ToA friending meme. =D

THIS BOOK WAS SO COOL WHEN I WAS 5.
MY CHILDHOOD IS SO HAPPY.
THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO BE AWESOME.

MARKUS WOHR, I HATE YOU SO MUCH.

Can I please work in your lab?


Also, a lot of the 5 or 6 papers I cite in this introduction are written by the same guy in the same year. So I'm citing 3 different studies but all the in-text citations read (Wohr, 2007). My TA is going to shoot me.
