[04 Sep 2008|11:19pm] midnight_birth [ mood | cheerful ] So, TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) is officially underway. Working and living pretty much smack in the middle of the Entertainment District, and working next-door to Much Music, down the street from CBC and all other major TV and radio stations in the city, really pays off this time of year. I'll keep you posted on the celebrity sightings. I don't know yet if I'm going to go to any screenings or galas, but I'm thinking I should at least catch a couple. These kind of people are always very fun and beneficial to hang out with. Though, to be completely honest, with all these movies-stars swarming downtown, I'm still much more interested in the International Authors Festival coming later on in the year. Now THAT's something I can really get excited about. Still looking for a place to live. Also? Today? 10-hour shift FTW. Cannot feel my feet at all. Want to comment, kupo?

Hey kidz... [04 Sep 2008|02:10pm] lux_apollo [ mood | nostalgic ] [ music | J.S. Bach - Prelude and Fugue in c sharp minor, WTC Book I ] And not-so-kidz, too. I'm alive and well. Ish. Moved into the new place, getting my stuff unpacked and making a list of all the things I need to buy. Most importantly, I need another bookshelf (or two). And a desk/table that may or may not be the appropriate height for a clavichord which I may or may not be borrowing from my old harpsichord teacher. (*dances*) Actually, were I to own a harpsichord, I'd have just about enough room in my place for it. Either in my bedroom, or in the living room were my roommate okay with that. Speaking of him, he hasn't moved in yet but yesterday his parents came down and moved in a bunch of his stuff for him (which was wierd, lol). I'm glad I've met them before, or that would have been entirely too awkward. If he wasn't studying for the MCAT, which is written tomorrow I guess, I would totally be making fun of his ass. Actually, I still think I will. :-P The new place is pretty good. As much as I loved my old place and was very happy there once I got to know my landlord and lady, I think this was a good move. Costly, yes, but good. We'll see how things go once the roommate moves in and we find our balance (or lack thereof). One cool thing was that I had no trouble sleeping that first night. Maybe it's in part because I'm back to sleeping on a good mattress again, but I think it's also because at the last place it wasn't 'mine' so much as me living in the basement of someone else's house. I've already started thinking about *not* moving once the lease is up, lol, so long as things go well with the landlords and the other units. You know how much I hate moving. The good thing, though, is that my last landlord asked me to call him any time I need a place again because they'd be glad to rent to me again. It's nice to have a minor safety net like that. Which reminds me, I need to send him an email. Later. Okay, I need to get to work. I'm working on my first paper for publication, based on my thesis results, and it's a big task. I'm trying to get a bit done every day, but I'd wanted to be further along than this. I thought during the days where we were just cruising through open water in Alaska I'd have a chance to work on it, but that didn't happen for a few reasons (me being lazy and my uncle kept scheduling family events during the on-ship days). I will slowly get caught up on the flist reading, but I don't have internet at home right now so that's likely going to take me a while. I hope you all have been okay, though I already know the shit has hit the fan for some of you, and some people I know in rl. That's what happens when I drop off the face of the planet for a week. Later. Michael. Want to comment, kupo?

[03 Sep 2008|05:01pm] whitetenchi How did I somehow agree to do a XXX Holic and a Kuroshitsuji doujin with sunset_swish, and seem excited by it??? ALSO I am apparently now sharing a table with her and her sister at Smash next year? For one so small and adorable, she is an evil person. I haven't even done a doujin before! I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO DRAW THE CHARACTERS PROPERLY. Ahhhh crap. On the upside, with the Japanese exams out of the way I can relax and try to finish the rest of the course as soon as possible. Here are some drawings... Pretty proud of this one. Demonised!Exodus from my Original comic/story - to - be Noodle St. I'm certain the veins in his left arm are in the entirely wrong place OR are not meant to be there at all - But! He is a demon and artistic license and all that :3 Same with the spine. I concede when he goes all demonised(!) he gets a second outer spine? A drawing of - who might be an OC of mine Fabieu - for the prompt "Briar and the Bird" tigersflight gave me. And last but not least - for some reason - a fanart of Jay from Honeydew Syndrome.. Drawn without a reference in the middle of study period at school - hence the helpful comments my friends wrote in the corner like "DRAW A BULGE" etc XD 6 comments|Want to comment, kupo?

[02 Sep 2008|03:48pm] whitetenchi [ mood | scared ] Today I asked my English Advanced teacher if she would read my original story I've written (230 + pages, and yes, it probably isn't really good, and yes it has heaps of grammar mistakes and plotholes and yes... and... yes... um....) She asked me to bring it in tomorow on my USB. So. Oh shit what have I done. 7 comments|Want to comment, kupo?

Also: Comm Pimpage [01 Sep 2008|02:07pm] sarkywoman I signed up for a LIMS (Last Icon Maker Standing) community. If you're a fsn of Heroes or more specifically, Peter Petrelli from Heroes, and you make icons, you might be interested in signing up. It's called peter_lims. Just make sure you read the rules in the user info before claiming a place. Even if you don't make icons, you might want to watch the products of others. I bet I'm going to get knocked out straight away XD But hey, I said I needed more Heroes icons. Want to comment, kupo?

Me: An Update [01 Sep 2008|01:58pm] sarkywoman First off, I want to make it clear that 'Stuck on the Slow Path' is not dead. It is an ever-present nagging in my brain and as soon as I re-establish all my resources on this computer, I will continue writing it. Unfortunately, I seem to be working ALL THE TIME. Not even just evenings anymore, but morning shifts on the same day as the night shifts. Suffice to say I'm either at work or collapsed on someone's sofa (sometimes even my own). I hate working for a living. It fucking sucks. Even if I just got an office job that went 9-5 it'd be better than this random-shift, foot-killing bullshit. 5 hours where my butt isn't allowed to even perch above a seat because it's 'unprofessional'. My feet hurt so bad that I don't want to go anywhere on my days off because my feet need to recover. Still. It's not all bad. I got 2 presents. My friend Liz got me a Changeling Roleplay book, so I after my game about evil vampires, I can run a game about evil fairies. And Chris got me a CAPT. JACK ACTION FIGURE. And Roy bought me a cake. And Lianne baked me a TON of cake and cookies. Anyway, I need to go and keep up tw_dw_slashfest. Can't let people down. 2 comments|Want to comment, kupo?

[31 Aug 2008|02:46pm] whitetenchi So I have the rest of today to myself to draw - and of course my drawing groove is going "meh." I really wanna get some fanart done, but everything I end up drawing is OC? Is that annoying? I hope not :( Sorry guys. ANYWAY. Could someone throw some random prompts at me? Words, sentences, situations, whatever. I'll try and get both some fanart and OC works done :3 10 comments|Want to comment, kupo?

Yo. [30 Aug 2008|12:08pm] lux_apollo [ mood | exhausted ] [ music | Sigur Ros - Heim ] On the open sea right now. Procrastinating from working on my paper. Going to lunch soon. After my wonderful vent on here last night, I went to bed. I was awoken twice, first as my brother came back from the bar, and then when he came back from smoking a cigar and proceeded to throw up on the floor in the middle of our stateroom. Needless to say, I blew up. I'm not going to get into the gory details, but I was walking a fine line a few times to the point where he almost attacked me. It's funny, the combination of being terrified but knowing how much I needed to push him to fucking wake up and realize how stupid he's being with his life and that everything is open to him if he'd only take the opportunity, and nothing will happen until he a) stops drinking, and b) forgives himself for getting hit by that train. 'Cause, you know, usually when one has a near-death accident involving alcohol abuse, one realizes how much of a fucking idiot they've been and stops drinking. Or at least cuts back to a reasonable level. Not him. I was willing to let him drunkenly beat the shit out of me if it meant that in the morning he'd wake up and realize what a complete fucktard he's being. I don't regret a single thing I said to him, which is surprising, but I've had this conversation planned in my head for a long time. He needed to hear it no matter how much he was trying to ignore/deflect/hide from it. It was pretty drawn out once things calmed down, but I think we have a better understanding of one another, and I hope he takes it to heart. There isn't much more I can do. He won't ask for help, won't get counseling, won't do anything that would make him vulnerable or expose the surfaces beneath his stubborn pride. I came out to him in the midst of all this. For any of this talk with him to work, it had to be give-and-take. It was fine. I know he doesn't understand at all, but I still feel like such an asshole for keeping it from him for this long. Between being a coward and bowing to my mother's request... I don't know. One thing is for sure: he doesn't understand my sense of duty towards the family. I told him I was so tired of living in a family that won't talk about anything and keeps putting on these elaborate smoke and mirrors performances to keep the oh so precious balance from shifting/breaking/whatever. Ugh. I need to get off the internet. Small fortune later. Michael. 2 comments|Want to comment, kupo?

D< after this i am so taking a break from writing fanfiction. [30 Aug 2008|10:35pm] misskass [ mood | working ] [ music | 'Wicked' OBC -- Defying Gravity ] Title: Rewriting History Author: Miss Kass Recipient: switch842 Fandom: Torchwood Rating: R Characters: Jack/John, Jack/Ianto Word Count: 1081 Summary: “The curves of your lips rewrite history.” The last time Jack spoke those words was to the man who had stood beside him through wars, and lain under him in ecstasy, and come back to him even after being abandoned.

Ugh. [30 Aug 2008|06:13am] lux_apollo I just want my brain to shut up. Stupid cougar hitting on me tonight and stupid gay dancer boy (who gave me the up and down yesterday returning to ship) coming to the bar tonight during all that and me feeling trapped and stupid and urgh even though that half of the deal was likely all in my head. I don't need any of this right now. I'm shitty at being independent and even shittier at being in a relationship. And I don't need a fucking one night stand. Two night stand. Whatever. I don't need it, whether it's from some strange ass cougar who made out with my brother last night, or with some cruiseship performer. My emotional side is too stupid to deal with this stuff properly, and I just need to shut up and go to bed. And this post doesn't really make any sense. Self-congratulations, on the house. Fuck.

Live from Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska! [29 Aug 2008|09:07pm] lux_apollo [ mood | happy ] Hey. I can't write much because I didn't think this through and write my post before I went onto the ship's really expensive internet. So. You are stuck with something brief and shitty. Summary: Am having a great time. Alaska is beautiful. I wouldn't live here, but I would definitely vacation here again. The passage from Vancouver up into Alaska was beautiful. Saw whales. First stop was Ketchikan, which sucked ass. Juneau was awesome (climbed a mountain, rode in a helicopter, went dogsledding on a glacier). Skagway was cool but sorta kinda derelict. Glacier Bay is breathtaking. Going out onto the open sea tonight, we'll see how I deal with the rougher waters there. Will be arriving back in Detroit at 5 am on Monday. Should be in KW Tuesday, or Wednesday if the jet lag is bad, though it's only a four hour time difference. Food on the ship has been between nice and awesome, depending on the day and the dish. Mostly it's been great to hang out with my immediate and extended family. My brother closest in age to me, who I'm rooming with, has only gotten frustratingly annoying in the last day or so. Last night, mostly. We'll see if that continues. It's mostly an older crowd on this particular cruise, but there has been some eye candy of both sexes. My brother (the annoying one) got drunk last night and made out with a cougar from New Jersey, which was both hilarious and horrifying. I just really don't want to walk in to my cabin to him dirtying his sheets with some drunk divorcée on rebound. Must go. More when I get back. Michael 3 comments|Want to comment, kupo?

[29 Aug 2008|06:06pm] sarkywoman It's my birthday! But I didn't get anything... What's the point of getting old if I don't get anything? Oh well. Going out drinking in a bit. Vodka shots by the dozen :) 19 comments|Want to comment, kupo?

[28 Aug 2008|10:41pm] midnight_birth Ok. So the cat story ended in a happy ending. I found a tattoo inside his ear, which is the old-school way of "micro-chipping pets". We couldn't identify him by that either, though, so, in the last desperate attempt at finding this sweetheart's home, we went to the Humane Society Lost and Found page. There, after going through ten pages of listings, we found one dating a month back that matched our little buddy. Long story short, he is 10 years old, and had wondered off A LOT of city blocks and has been missing for over a month. When I got him, everybody kept saying to just let him go and let him find his own way home, and I am only too glad that I followed my gut. He would never have, had I done that. He doesn't know directions very well, being a home cat, and got completely lost. Future tip, if you find a lost animal, don't kick it back out on the street. :) Imagine if someone had done it to your precious. I know I sleep better at night knowing that I followed through and made sure he made it home. His name is Bobby Ravioli, and he is quite sick. He was sneezing and snotting all over the place, but his owner has medicine that cures it right out, which is also his luck for getting back home. When the lady came to pick him up she was SO happy I could cry. She said she had given up hope, and was immensely thankful that he ended up with good people who ensured he found a home. It really warmed my heart, because I only pray that if I ever lose a pet, it's picked up by someone and returned to me, as it would break my heart. I'm going to miss little snotty. He adored me like, frankly, no other animal I have ever known. He slept on my chest all the time I was home, constantly head-butting and kneading me. He was quite impartial to everyone else, and also quite jealous of everyone who touched me. I'm going to miss him, but I don't feel bad. I get attached easily, but this was just meant to be. He was with us for a few days, during which he really gave me some comfort and peace of mind I so desperately needed, and in return I found his home. He proudly goes to be the fourth animal I rescued. :D 6 comments|Want to comment, kupo?
