Well, not much for today. It figures that while the week drudges along the weekend flies by... Of course I slept in late (how could I not with the hurricane rain outside?) but it's already 4:40 somehow. :/ My only real goal for today is to finish my spool knitting thing... I want it to be 50 inches (127 cm) long when I'm done. I've been brainstorming all the things I can use it for: a belt, an obijime, a very skinny scarf, a necklace, a headband, and a thing I can wrap around just about any part of me that is generally cyllindrical... not that that's spelled right. It's made out of white crochet thread so it looks tangled and lace-esque and it's kind of neat. I might add beads and things when I'm done but I'm not sure yet. It's pretty cool considering my common glaring mistakes - they almost give it character.

Entrada para celebrar la nueva imagen de mi elejota. Hacía un tiempito que tenía ganas de cambiar el layout y Ada, siendo la buena y habilidosa persona que es, me hizo este hermoso header <3 *empieza a tirarle besos*
Cambiando de tema, el 20 ya empecé lamentablemente las clases. Este cuatrimestre tengo Antropología, Pensamiento Científico y Economía. Antropología me encanta, las clases se me pasan volando y tengo ganas de leer los apuntes (algo muy raro en mí). La verdad es que tenía miedo que no me gustara pero por suerte no pasó eso xD; es que si me aburría entonces ¡crisis! Me tendría que hacer replantamiento sobre lo que quiero estudiar (recuerden que estoy en el CBC de Antropología).
Con Pensamiento Científico va todo bien, por ahora. Creo que se me complica un poco con los simbolos y esas ecuaciones pero no parece muy díficil una vez que te lo aprendes; supongo que es cosa de practicar y practicar. Creo que con Economía voy a tener problemas. Siempre que la tuve en la secundaria, la terminaba aprobando con lo justo o la terminaba rindiendo en las vacaciones; pero la profesora que tengo explica bien y no me cae para nada mal así que eso ayuda un poco, supongo xD. En realidad, a diferencia del cuatrimestre anterior, en este tengo profesores buenos y decentes, sin ningún loco u obsesionado con un pensador -cofcof*comoladeSemiología*cofcof-
( ¡Te maldigo FUBA! *lleva a Kimbley al centro de estudiantes asi lo destruye y no quda nada de el* )
Últimamente no me estoy pasando por sus elejotas, lo sé, soy una vaga sin remedio *se azota*. Voy a ver si ahora me doy una vueltita.

1. Joad Cressbeckler for President. Finally! A candidate that I support on all the issues! I'm particularly fond of his tax plan, and I mean, c'mon! You gotta support a guy for being a veteran of the Spanish American War! He lost his leg down there in Texas. I mean, McCain is old, but is he old enough?
Old, Grizzled Third-Party Candidate May Steal Support From McCain
2. Giant mechanical spiders running around Liverpool. I don't think I've seen anything give me more hope for an awesome future than this. Not in a long time.
THE WORLD IS PRETTY AWESOME
Oh, and someday I might write about the bazillion interesting things that have been happening in my life that do not involve giant robot spiders. But I think that you'll probably be more interested in knowing that there is a gigantic robotic spider and that you ought to be watching videos from the Onion than in the fact that there are an awful lot of nice people in the world and that I am in college and that one of my professors listed in her sylabus twice that hunting season was not a decent excuse to miss class or turn in assignments late, and that she also stated that hangovers are also terrible excuses, especially since the class is at three in the afternoon.

Frou Frou - I Must Be Dreaming |
] |
So we had chamber ensemble practices again this week. It actually went really well. First violin came to terms with the fact that she cannot play the first violin part worth a crap, and ceded to the second violin, who genuinely loves the minuet we're playing and was really having fun and - more importantly at this stage - PLAYING IT RIGHT. Viola's figuring it out. Jason and I, with our two-qarter-notes-per-measure part, are kind of playing, conducting, and directing at the same time, taking it in turns depending on when everyone else is resting. Mr. Giel, after walking by our group five times over the course of the lesson, finally decided we were worthy of his attention and tutored us.
The worst part about it at this point is how little they all know about the music. Like, I really should not have to point out what a minuet is. That's... kind of basic. But they didn't know, so we went a whole lesson before we figured out three out of five of us didn't even know the playing style. Or the starting dynamic. So, as the only one who knows what's going on, I've kind of become the leader by default... which is both flattering and stressful. ^_^;; But I think it's going to work out better than I thought it would.
We're got a Solo/Ensemble competition group going, though - fifth year!! It's Chelsea (first violin from normal ensemble), Adam (OMG I MISSED PLAYING WITH HIM), Jason, me, and a second violin who is yet to be determined. Maybe the same one from normal ensemble. But, y'know. SE's always so much fun, no matter the group. ^_^
AND ON MONDAY HE'S PASSIN' OUT THE HAYDN. AAAAAAAAAAAH. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. The problem of the violas has been solved - they're putting them in the choir to fill out their tenor shortage. XD Here's hoping someone videotapes it.
Oh, and Chrissi's coming back next week after almost two weeks housebound. I'm so glad. Hey, Kat, Gillian - I was thinking we could put something together to welcome her back. What do y'all think?
Here's to death by homework! Who'll raise their glass with me?

 RIP MIIKO : 1995 - 2008
This morning we found him dead.
... My mom did. She went to put him to the bathroom.... and... he was dead...
He had joint issues... and a weak lung and heart... suffering from the heartwork attack he had gotten years ago...
... and now he's gone.
He was such a big baby, wouldn't even hurt a fly. He'd jump on the bed, try to lay on your lap, such a happy happy dog.
... and he passed in his sleep.
I... I... was in the office, next to cage, on the laptop... .. just two hours ago... and I heard him... moving in his cage but...
... but I did not know he was dying...
... I ... haven't gone by to look at him cause if I did I'll break down but... I... I am speechless.
He's been with us for... so many years.
... I just don't know what to say.
Good bye, big boy... I loved you so much

 KIMIKO IS A DIRTY SLUT |

First off, wow. I kind of laughed at this.
Secondly, Maou is amazing.
Did I say it was amazing before? Yeah, I did. Let me say it again: It's amazing. Toma's lightened up, or maybe I've grown used to Toma's dramatics.
Ohno is amazing. This is why I like him oh so very much. Tis why he's my #2 favorite Arashi member, with Sho as #1 (with Aiba ting very very soon) -- Episodes 5 - 7 were amazing. It was like a rollercoaster, now I'm on ep 9 and its like " Wow, everything is crashing down ".
Maou is definitely a series you have to watch like... in a marathon go or something and not weekly... I think that's why I stopped watching, cause eps 3 and 4 were really dead episodes and I slightly lost interest.
I r take break from internet. Marathoning some dramas on my TV this weekend, rewatching Last Friends to finally understand the clusterfuck without all the hype blinding me, gonna finish Tiger and Dragon Sunday and then probably marathon Yuukan Club monday... or finally watch Ikekubukorowhatever West Gate Park, a drama someone has been begging me to watch and I must say -- the casting is AMAZING.
I just realized, I did not get my fucking posters yesterday.
They should get here... today! Since its Saturday.
Yes, Yoko and Maru will grace my walls. If not, I will be fucking pissed off.
...... Anyway, off to finish Maou ep 9. Someone else is gonna die it seems....
I wish Naruse would bone Shiroi and get it over with. I HATE SHIPPING DEAD END PAIRINGS. FUCK. CAN THERE BE ONE OTP I HAVE WHERE IT ISN'T A DEADEND? *kicks sousuke/michiru, yokomaru, miyaiba, zutara, etc etc etc*

I'm seriously considering e-mailing the creator of the webcomic Least I Could Do to find out if he likes LotR(and Aragorn) as much as his main character does , also had to add these two, for they're adorable..Beware of reading the entire comic, for it has much talk of sex and man-whorring. I think the main reason I like the main character so much is his quirckiness. Seriously, a guy that loves LotR(along with other great movies, characters, and stories) that much is awesome. Also, I find it highly hilarious that the main character and the writer of the comic share names that are not unsimilar. Writer=Ryan Sohmar, Character=Rayne Summers, projection much? Secretly, well not so secretly anymore, I am hooked on reading it to find out if he ever ends up with Issa, and who the girl is who turned him into a man-whore. I'm also reading Looking For Group, and will definitely be making FMA icons inspired by Richard, probably a few "For Pony" ones.
I saw Tropic Thunder today...nearly feel out of the theater seat more than a couple times. The fake previews were hilarious, I couldn't stop thinking of a certain sect of fandom during the one about gay monks. One of the guys at work kept telling me I had to see it, and since we share opinions on most movies, I took his advice, and I'm glad I did. It's on my "buy it" list. Big shocker at the end was seeing who Tom Cruise played. Generally, I'm not a Tom Cruise fan, and never have been. I never got the OMG, SO HOTTT appeal of either him or Brad Pitt, other actors have so much more appeal than either of them, IMO. This was definitely my favorite Cruise role.
( cut for work related talk )
So, Jump is dumping Double Arts, that makes me a sad panda (XD, panda remind me of Topic Thunder, especially sad ones). I got my FMA calender for 2009. Anime, but cool pictures, also a very shippy one of Roy and Riza (with Ed and Winry in it, of course).
I had a dream that was random, but not. (Keep in mind I'd just watched Voices of a Distant Star, and read and entry posted by ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) mulzrule , before falling into a fitful sleep while thining about some fanfictin I've been working on.) The dream opened on me picking up my mail for the day. Inside the evelope were three seperate envelopes- one addressed to me, and the two others to my younger sisters. So, I decided to deliver their mail to them. I walked through a very lovely futuristic looking park to get to the dorms my sisters were residing in. The letters were from my borther. Very short and simple(how are you doing, how's life, miss you...). I had to run, because my classwas starting, and I had to make copies. On my way to class, it clicked in my brain that I was not on Earth, the clear dome and two moons and sun being a give away. Apparently, Earth had colonized a plant purely for college students. When I walked into the copy room, I discovered I was not a student, but in fact part of the faculty. My dream ended with me having my students study the strange armadillos that were the only living animals on the plantet when Earth first found it.
Right now, I should be tending to my EdWin plot bunny for the ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) fireandice2008 challenge.
Plans for tomorrow(erm...today): meet co-workers at Oliver Garden for an early lunch, go to the first meeting for AX2009, work on "7deadly sins" icons, and tend to plot bunnies/fic in progress.

The dark side has won me over. I have found another fandom to tinker with while I remain in a state of limbo with Transformers.
Cold Case. A CBS crime drama produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. It deals with cases gone old, murders that remained un(re)solved for years, sometimes decades. A division of the Philadelphia Police Department solves these old murders, and the protagonist of the story is a woman named Lilly Rush. The other detectives are Sott(y) Valens, John Stillman, Nick Vera, Will Jeffries, and Kat Miller. The cases are often heart/gut wrenching, and a good number of them touch upon "taboos", crimes based in ideas and actions we dare not speak of. The format of the show is fantastic, with characters having flashbacks to the eras the murders took place in, and at the end of every episode Lilly or one of the other detectives sees the victims, who smile and nod before dissolving into air.
Now comes the dilemma: fandom relationships aka shipping.
Lauren says it's my human nature warring with the logic I'm trying to place where there is no logic. I want relationships to happen. I want love to happen, especially to fictional characters because it'll give me what I need emotionally. And yet my logic asks me, "Why do you need these characters to be in a relationship? Why is a relationship necessary? Why can't a woman be independent and strong and relationship-less? Aren't friendships enough? Do you want to ruin a friendship/working relationship with love?"
And almost invariably nobody writes beyond the "falling in love and declaring it to each other" scenario. And the few that do lead to families and babies. Now, a relationship I'm fine with, but babies? We of the feminine sex want love but how many of us want babies? Okay, a nice majority, meaning I'm in the minority.
But majority rules. That's how democracy works, doesn't it?

Im scrolling through fandomsecrets and I love how there are so many confessions of love by girls to their yaoi rp partners. I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy inside and somehow end up at encyclopedia dramatica where I read:
"What is Fandom Secrets made of?
* 28% of the secrets are about how two lesbians roleplaying yaoibuttsex fall in love with each other.
* 12% consists of lesbians getting dumped by their yaoibuttsex RP girlfriends.
* The rest are heart-wrenching confessions about how two characters in some anime thing didn't end up together, or how a character died and it made the poster cry for weeks, or something equally lame, or how someone wants to screw a character whose name they picked out of a hat for the lulz. "
YEEEEES! I'm dying here! I can't wait to get to yaoi con!!!!
