it's summertime forever [Jul. 25th, 2008|12:31 pm]

I learned a very valuable, if not disgusting, lesson yesterday -- er, rather, early this morning. As in, three or four o'clock in the morning.

Never, under any circumstances, chew gum and then fall asleep. Ever. I fell asleep facedown reading last night thanks to the drugs vitamin relaxant my mother gave me (B12, or something like that), and when I woke up in the middle of the night, the gum that I had been chewing had somehow fallen out of my mouth, gotten all over the mattress, and then promptly decided to stick itself all over my arms, hands, chest, neck, and mouth. It was not pleasant.

The sad thing is that I was almost tempted to sleep like that and take care of it in the morning because I was so damn out of it. But, no. I got out of bed, grabbed a sponge, and scrubbed until most of the gum was gone. There was a bit of sticky residue left on the tips of my fingers, but that was gone by this morning. I managed to get most of the gum off the mattress, and whatever I didn't manage to get off I covered with a paper towel before falling asleep again. The offending mattress cover is now taking a nice, hot bath in the washing machine. My clothes, strangely enough, didn't get any gum on them except for one small piece that I managed to get off.

But, yeah. It was pretty gross. There's nothing quite like waking up in the middle of the night with tropical flavored gum stuck on you like some kind of grotesque spider web. It's a good thing I don't have a phobia of spiders, or else I would have seriously freaked out.

For those of you who are wondering both where my mornings have gone and what on Earth the title of this entry is supposed to be, I've been volunteering at Vacation Bible School this week. I (the "adult leader") and another girl (the "high school leader") are in charge of a group of seven mixed age elementary school kids, taking them from Crafts to movies to games to Bible stories and helping them make connections and get closer to God.

Or actually, Jesus.

Lengthier explanation of this year's VBS, as well as a few things I've learned )

PIC POST!

Some of these pics are from a few months back, the week of graduation. I really haven't taken a lot of pictures this summer, so they pretty much jump from the first week of June to the week I left for Buffalo. Well, here we go!

Oh, and I rediscovered this site recently:

1. Darkness
Pitch black rooms creep the heck out of me, and to go downstairs at night I need to bring my teddy bear.
2. Heights
It's more of just cautious.
3. Balloons Popping
If I have to hold one I am very nervous about it.

Book rec [Jul. 24th, 2008|09:58 am]

ckret2
I have here an awesome book. It's a little like reading about Yagami Light. :D It really is. (... I'm a weird little fangirl. I spell his name Light instead of Raito, but I still insist on the last-name-first convention. Oh well.)

The book is called The Sociopath Next Door by Martha Stout, Ph.D., and it's a book about antisocial personality disorder/sociopathy/psychopathy, which is all basically a name for the same thing. A very creepy analysis of people born with absolutely no conscience. One in twenty-five people have this disorder. YOU MIGHT BE ONE!!

If you've ever felt guilt before, you're in the clear. The book's not about you.

Anyway! It's awesome so far, and I'm still in the first chapter. :D Everyone go read it now, srsly. This is SUCH a cool book, especially as a writing resource from people who want to do stuff with sociopaths. It makes for excellent villains.

I love sociopathic characters. *wiggles in delight*

So I saw this movie today. [Jul. 24th, 2008|12:13 am]

[music |Don't Worry, Be Happy - Bobby McFerrin]

It was called "The Dark Knight."

I have to say for me the epicness started with, "No, silly, I'm supposed to kill the bus driver," and the pencil trick. Those set the tone for the Joker and for the whole damn movie. Sure, there were a few points that disagreed with the laws of either logic or physics, but then we'd have an explosion or a motorcycle trick and my doubt woudl soon be washed away in a gigantic tide of epic.

Yeah, I really loved this movie.

...I need Dark Knight icons. Possibly of the pencil trick, or any other epic moments. Please help, flist. :D

And on a lighter note, Happy (slightly belated) birthday, [info]tafkae! ♥~~~

While I'm thinkin' of it: this week's two-page update marks the end of chapter three of Lunargyros! Next chapter starts next week, WOOOO! Yes I'm a little curious to know what people think about this last panel. 8D;

I am up waaaay too late right now considering I still need to pack tomorrow morning, sfjdlkfjaljfla. Either way, I will be at Comic Con the full time, from Wednesday to Sunday! If you're going at all, please come say hi to me! I'll basically be wandering around the con with the intent purpose of talking to whoever, passing out portfolio-thingies and just enjoying the geekery. I don't even know what panels I'm doing yet sfjakljdfalk. Need to get the schedule ASAP when I'm down there!

So if you're going...YEAH, COME FIND ME. I wanna see old and new friends!

My cat just clawed the crap out of my arm. ;_;

I went outside to bring him inside for the night and he was lying on a pile of scrap wood in the yard. I walked over and noticed that something caught his attention and realized it was a snake; I couldn't identify it since it was dark, but there's copperheads around here so I wanted to get him away from it as soon as possible, but he was writhing out of my grasp since it was OMGSHINY so I picked him up awkwardly and aways and he unleashed the claws and just freaked out all over my arm. x_x I put him down and then picked him up properly to get him inside. x_x

Totally my bad since I was in a fit of panic to get him out of there, but gaaaaaah it hurt... left a few LONG scratch marks on my arm and broke the skin in two small places. x.x

I am the type of person who makes one mistake only to have a DOMINO EFFECT OF OTHER MISTAKES. And I freak out over it and channel Ritsu Sohma as a result.

Off topic: The sequence between Ouendan 2's final songs actually made me cry MANLY TEARS more than the token depressing song made me want to (but didn't). (Over the Distance still kicks the crap out of the others anyways.)

Lolihumbufggfuooo mooolaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee caffee [Jul. 22nd, 2008|08:24 am]

I dunno but you gotta have a subject'n stuff.[Unknown LJ tag]So what I stirred up this morn's but a cup but it's all and it's more than a drop so I don't really gotta make more right? It's more for when it's early that and for when tiredness's kickin' in which it shouldn't but in the morn. For after all this is relatively safe it's not as if I'm up high and liable to fall so I can get goin' on only water right?

This way it'll not keep me up so much. Maybe it takes more hours fer me then I've supposed 'fore. Y'see also probably interferes with the melatonin I'm s'posed t'be takin' which is a good idea for sleep and stuff. It's certainly a more focused prioritization of treatment rather than skip to some kinda mugwort herb st wort or whatnot like before which did shit all but was preferable to some stupid antidepressant. Wish I never took that shit, so many fucks turn you down for testin jobs just because you took'm a couple years ago. Honesty certainly holds ya back from a lot'r stuff, eh well.

HAGRID lol. So CCS is up to the new beginning and I'm freakin' out on YukiSaku and YukiLee and SakuLee and... you know the video camera girl... herSaku. Plus TohyaEveryone because is there ANYONE that sewing 'I'm a waiter everywhere in the city' gr 12 lad doesn't got chem with?

So I got the 'cave back there because I just wasn't interested in its secrets. Only pg 50. I gotta admit, much as I've been purroussing the classics, the more modern stuff tends to hold my interest better. Media really does improve, it kind of makes it an effort to be a good fan sometimes. Having same problems with Trekkiness, on 309 there's all the movies and yet I haven't even watched em... like I saw all the TNG movs (including Generations) but when it is ONLY kirk... eugh. I need to keep reminding myself that there's Spock and that 1 or 2 had the pre-borg thing and since I love the Borg I need to watch it to get some perspective'n stuff.

I realized I couldn't make my moon mutant into a magician right off the bat because the only way to get special training by a master is to be wild and I discovered a note on the species saying unlike other animals humans can't roll wild! So maybe Hominids can do it. Hominids got problems like copypasta from the interdimensional table, I pretty much just ignore that. It's actually not enticing at all, who the heck wants so many skill programs with no bonus? I'd rather have the best bonus and less programs thanks.

I decided not to know anything about time machines and instead just made him a historian. It's just easier that way, less controversial'n shit. It gives me something to turn into an OCC later, get a couple technical programs, another technilanguage one (the GM can decide if he wants them the same bonus or diff, doesn't matter to me) and then another on something cool like phystrain or magi or somethin'. Although, I realized I could get megabonus rogue skills (beyond even stage actually) with journalism so I might make one journalism and then only get half of time travel and get the other half as a hardwhere.

It makes sense because you can get temporal theory and shit from being a mage, but to learn actual mechanic or pilot skills it's better to save it for being a hardware vehicle dude. That way I can actually get the funding for it as well, roleplaying that.

Hibernation's great (along with temporal magic, stasis powers, stone mastery) since you can jump back to the next twist with a machine and then pass the time without having to play it. You could even tie that in with being a sleeping immortal. After all, enlightened taoism's a lot of work with no clear starting point. Sleeping immortal fits better with 'impervious to sleep' because it lets you stay awake a long time so that you can be around as long as possible while you are awake. Then, it gives you a good reason not to be in a campaign too long (have to go back to sleep) and be continually gettin' more chi and bypassing general time problems.

That's not even something EIs can do if I think about it, they have to roleplay living all those years in their various reincarnations, lololol.

So there hasn't been any DB updates lately so Kaizoku delivered instead. Amazawesome. But anyway it is time for me to mail the package that's been sitting on top of the Batcave and then go get me my money for my stuff! Then I can do it again for more, and then I can go get stuff like ankle weights and footwheels and gyros and kettles and indians and so forth. You know, speaking of Inuit (I wasn't) it's cool to be half one because then you can always be an earth shaman doll dancer along with a polar bear dude and of course the crazy temporal mage types. The only thing is, learning temporal magic's not enough, because you need to be a warrior for the bonuses (no point beyond 1st lvl not like strength increases any more, and who wants to lose IQ?) and a wizard for the better casting rate and ability to save people from the Unholy and learn his ability at lvl 12. Fits well with Phase Mysticism. I like how some super psionic classes are OCCS rather than P/R. Like the gypsies in NGR/Russia. Speaking of which, I could keep the immortal awake using drugs! It's a fun excuse to hop your char up on drugs because they're obligated to spend decades recovered in rehab anyway so may's well.

It kinda makes you wonder, if you're only sleeping... your clones could stay away right? Like you wake them up when you sleep... you can't wake them up WHILE asleep so may as well do it all at once. Then, they can basically stay awake just as long as you did so they could do some extra work.

If there were some way to use the power while asleep then they would be refreshed each time you recreated em (which you'd want to do regularly anyway seeing as how you need to do it to keep them tip top and to gain their memories, like Naruto) then it'd be a way to remain active while asleep. If I think about it, it's real reminiscent of what Seph was doing. No, not Sephiria! lol. But really, that's rather clever, good going there plotter. It may not be 9x9 but that's not something easy to get anyway. Odds are if I did get that I'd be stuck as a tiger or whatever.

It makes me wonder anyway, what happens to your clones if your own soul reincarnates. Do theirs? Do you get them back to full when you die yourself?

In a way, there's a delay so if you think you're going to have to die somehow (like maybe you got megapoisoned, or PoP's time demon thing's after you) it's better to do it in the past so by the time you reincarnate and remember, you're in modern times again.

Even so, it could just be a diff of roleplaying in AtB instead of TMNT until you come back.

Dying in the astral plane might be doable as well... because since time passes at a rate of 1 week/hour or something, the time needed to become a teen and begin to gain back your abilities is really only... 52 hours a year is 2 days 4 hours a year. For 17 yrs (and 6 months to get refined back to a Yin Tiger) that'd be... 35 days 70 months, or... 2 hours short of 38 days in the astral plane...

Although to be fair, I don't think the other immortals hang in the astral so more likely I'd only be able to stay there until 13yrs and then have to leave the place for them to be able to find me as I like.

That's why even though the inner planes are safer and linked to all dimensions, it's best to have an outer domain as well simply to take advantage of time and stuff. Even so, I really must have a time machine and still make plans to seduce Simultaneous or something to learn Lordship. Maybe I'll just ask Romero or something, I'd have no ethical qualms about warming his mind. You know... I really don't even gotta be a Time Lord do I... I could just use Miclantecutli's command on Romero's skin... *cackle* I wonder if ol' Sandelheim would have mixed feelings about that.

I gotta wonder... what'd be more evil, doing that, or doing Soul Harvesting? One is simpler since it doesn't need an OCC change (nor to be a non-psionic to do it) but at the same time, if the skin's destroyed you're screwed. Although, being screwed by an excorcism isn't much better. In any case best to be impervious to exorcisms and to make th flesh indestructible, but I'd rather avoid it all and just get the teaching. It'd be a good 'in' to gaining rank in the 79th as well. Until then I'd have to settle for the other null zones and they look nice and all (one of them even has a 'time passes faster' making it a nice alternate astral) and Romero'd be better as a minion than dead anyway. He's more than his stats definately, like how he animates a t-rex skel he's got necro written all over him. I bet he'd be real happy as a Wormwood general and stuff.

Stein-sama [Jul. 20th, 2008|11:37 am]

Stein-sama 'Doctor Stein' or whatever (I believe his first name is Franken of course) is definately freakin' cool. Introduced in the Soul Eater series episode 5, preluded to in episode 4.

Seriously this guy kicks so much ass I don't even want to go into detail about it. Sufficed to say... well he's a doctor (/spoiler) which I love, and he wears the mad scientist lab coat... he's got glasses, used a computer, has the same kind of stooly computer chair I've used in the past...

I like the way he attacks, I like the way he blocks attacks, I like his special moves (sparky), and it's cool what he did to that one teacher...

Plus later on in the series when he teams up with another guy to face this one guy and then this lady... shiiiiit.

Seriously I want to emulate this guy as much as I want to emulate Spirit and Death. These are all seriously fucking cool emulatable role model hero type guys.

Anyway I need to go buy a video game or whatever my coffee will keep me awake. It's better having it earlier in the day, and to have it intermittantly so you're more aware. Yesterday I spilled everywhere because I was holding it one-handed constantly while relaxing watching a Tony Little vid and then I had a lot to clean up. It was a good excuse to switch to a new towel I think.

I fucking hate how some places ban you just because you pwn their members at debate and aren't a suckup, bunch of fucking wusses who can't take people with faster-operating brains. I guess it's incomprehensible that some of us just naturally fucking make great points faster than they're able to comprehend said points.
