First of all, one more from Repo! The Genetic Opera. Steph sent me this one! ♥

o1. Repo! The Genetic Opera - Let the Monster Rise.mp3

And, now, Megan and Courtney have requested the music from the Alexander Anderson vs. Envy fight in the most recent Anime Human Chessmatch at METROCON. ^_^ This is one of my personal favourite songs (from one of my favourite bands!), so when Nick asked for it for his fight, I was more than thrilled to provide, lol. I'll give a few of my other preferred songs, too. :33;; I love this music so much.

o1. E Nomine - Vater Unser.mp3 (Anderson v. Envy song, lol)
o2. E Nomine - Mitternacht.mp3
o3. E Nomine - Das Omen, im Kreis des Bösen.mp3

Why I posted the poll. [Saturday, July 26th, 2008 @ 8:46pm]

tankweiler
You may be wondering why I posted the poll on the topic of gay marriage. Well I wanted to see some other people's stances. The reason, my misunderstanding of why the candidates both agree that gay marriage is immoral. I don't want to get into religious issues. Now why shouldn't people be able to legally express their love by uniting under one name. It's no different then a woman and man marriage. Except the fact it's same gender. In the United States we have the right to choose who we date, who we marry, and who we want to spend our lives with it. I am personally heterosexual, but, I fully support gay marriage. We have the right to bear arms, the freedom of speech. But, why not the right to choose our partner or the freedom of union?

Absolutly love my icon.
-------

Still sick as a dog.

Sucks.
x_x

And cast party is on the 9th.
I may or may not be going.

I want to drive myself there this time, only because I really don't want to get home at flippin' 3:00 in the morning again.

I also dn't want to make Matt drive that far ever again.
I felt bad.
I alsways feel bad when I carpool.

I love everyone but I like being home too.

I will also be leaving on that following Tuesday, so I need to get ready to go.
So it's not that I don't want to see everyone, I just... have to be leaving soon.
-----

It's really lonely. Like really lonely.
And I know a few of you on my friends list know exactly what I am talking about.

I can hang in there.
I mean we have been apart longer.

It's just... you miss those hugs.
Like really badly.

And today was my chess day. I got hugs from people.

I am pretty fragile.
It makes me mad.
-_-
----

Gonna watch the Hannah Montana and Jonas Brothers 3D concert.
Apparently, my sisters got me glasses. o_o
Oh man.
The things I do as a big sister.

Hey guys, I know its been a while but heres a update.

I got my apartment and I will be moving in on the 15th, anyone that wants to help is welcome to a free dinner. My apartment looks pretty awesome from here, It has 3 bedrooms, each with a bathroom and walkin closet, a kitchen, common room, balcony ect.
I'm leaving this dreadful place in a few days, I shall be home on the 3rd. expect some phone calls. I havent been calling anyone because Its just too hard to say hello to someone when you cant see them, when they dont call you, and when reception is so bad. oh well. More later

In IRL News:

I'm not going to be talking to or associating with anyone anymore that is not a part of my family. And if it wasn't necessary, I'd cut them off too. I WANT TO FUCKING STAY IN MY ROOM, IN FRONT OF MY COMPUTER, WITH MY FOODS AND MY BOOKS AND MY ANIMUS AND MY CATS AND NOTHING. FUCKING. ELSE. So,

Fuck my job and ALL of the pompous, smug little bitches who work there.

Fuck my friends. I'm tired of being your bitch. I'm sick of worrying about what I did wrong this time when you're the ones who need the cockslapping, not me.

Fuck Sarah. or not

Fuck my roommate, who should be more than pleased to find a pile of shit in front of his bedroom door and a condescending note.

Fuck my school. Even though it already fucked the shit out of me.

Fuck the bank and its CONTINUOUS ASSHATTERY.

Fuck collections. Fuck Telemarketers. PEOPLE FUCKING HANGING A MILLION FLYERS ON MY DOOR.

Fuck society. A given.

Well. Let's be indiscriminate, shall we?

FUCK. EVERYTHING.

I don't need your shit anymore. 8|

It's so lonely without you Jer.

It's sad I go to talk to him and where did he go!?

Oh well. Two and a half weeks apart is nothing to whine over.
=3

It's just weird.
------

I also have a good feeling about going to Seattle.
Like I have a good feeling and I hope we end up moving there.

I feel that they accept people, as weird as they may be.

It seems like some haven.
Is that weird to feel that way about somewhere that you have never been?

-------

I got $25 for my birthday. Yay.
Now I can pay for my bounce that the hotel did to me.
-_-
I get fucked over it sucks.

Oh well. That's what I get for putting it under my name.
--------

P.S. WTF is up with hot topic? I guess it turned into a "Punk for Dummies" store. For all the little preps turning to the "dark side".

P.S.S. What happened to the manga section!? Mangas are so... off as well. Nothing good coming out anymore. All yaoi? And Death Note. -_-

[info]lushes_r_us, it's a cocktail with a little mojo.


Anyway, I spent my week hit by convention-sickness. Dunno whether it was the gangly Flugtag'gers or the usual stank-o-taku, but I caught it bad. I'm just now up to "regular speed" and realizing again why X-MEN LEGENDS II was more fun to play than MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE(if I had to choose). In related gaming news, it sucks to hear that WIPEOUT HD was delayed out of fears of epilepsy warnings & failed testing, but at least they're adding extra features & trophy support in the meantime. Lastly, SINGSTAR USA... stop taking example from PSN USA. You both are terrible when it comes to updates lately. Both the UK and ASIA/OCEANIA servers have a lot more games, better songs(We got NKOB and a slew of bands no one's heard of... They got Gorillaz and songs worth karaoke to); and they've snagged some pretty slick Squ'enix PS1 games for DL. Augh. I know SONY reps won't read this particular LJ, but I'm sure it'll at least get the word spread.

Speaking of information...
[info]cobheran and [info]jedi_mario: Please contact me as soon as possible!!! I've got to put in my vacation requests for next month and I need to know which paid vacation days for the trip need to be taken off. I also need to know details on the trip itself -- i.e., COST. I'm better now(and so is thar-intarnetz), so the phone's on and AIM will be up when I get in from work this afternoon.
DragonCon'ned: For those GOING to D*con... any plans, themes, parties, details? I literally get paid that Friday as well, so it SHOULD be a good weekend! ;D
For the B-House: [info]hella_tight, I'll desposit funds for rent on 8/1/08. If you have a spare deposit slip or a way I can drop off payment that afternoon, lemme know. I'd rather not leave it out in the open otherwise. Also, as I posted before, I cancelled the cleaning service this month(didn't make sense to do it a month ahead); and will schedule it for AUGUST 18th at the earliest. They're not doing individual rooms, just the hallways, stairs, and kitchen(except for dishes).

While watching "Nanny 911" there was the commerical for...

Samurai Girl

Click here for what I mean

...........

Pft...

BWAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAH!

OKay I know it's mean to say this but... seriously?
Really?

Okay so let's just say CORNY acting.
I don't even think she's JAPANESE.

Oh and here is the big one...

SHE IS HOLDING THAT PLASIC SWORD TOTALLY WRONG.

She can ge knocked out in the head and she's holding it so weak.
I know the chess directors and cast would agree.
And even people who have no idea about swords.


Maybe it's because the white guy is teaching her?
I don't know.

But let's just say I samurai face this show.

DISHONOR!!

These are the cons left for this year that many TA members are attending:

Yasumicon (August 1st-3rd in Miami)
AFO (August 15th-17th in Orlando)
Chibi-pa (Sept 27th & 28th in West Palm Beach)
EXP (Oct 17th-19th in St. Augustine)
Anime Supercon (Oct 31st-Nov 2nd in Miami)
Anime South (Jan 2nd-4th in Destin, FL)

:3 Since we're all spread out over the state, hotel fees will be avoided thanks to crashing in various apartments! EXP and Anime South are both hotel-required, so let me know if you want in on a room!

Also -- Anyone wanting to hit up AFO, Team Awesome peeps are always welcome at our place. We live less than ten minutes from the hotel.
