I don't like to put serious stuff here. I am *not* in a good headspace, and am feeling unsociable. I'd rather not go into further detail. Life stuff, health stuff, head... muck. That's all that needs to be said. Usually I can deal with it and be active here nonetheless, but sometimes, not so much. So if anyone has been wondering why I haven't been in chat as much lately, or why I'm not as around as I've been, it's because I'm just... not here right now.

I'm still around, reading journals when I can, trying to keep up with my most important communities and such. Making payments where they are due, leaving feedback and whatnot. Blah blah. I'm just really not up to being online, or putting up a happy face, even an electronic one. My activity will likely pick up again soon. <333

Here's my alma mater's band. X3 They kicked ASS tonight! I'm so proud of them. And jealous. We sucked when I was in band. LOL.

Of course, I decide to take a chance and leap into the scary world of Advent Children fanfic, and I get disappointed early.


Dear [specific writer of Yazoo]:

Yeah, hi. I don't mind the yaoi as much as I mind this: people don't pull triggers on guns. The recoil is too great sometimes, and even when it's not, you lose precise aim when doing so. Gun triggers are meant to be squeezed, not pulled. If you squeeze your finger, the flesh has nowhere to go but back, into the trigger. A very slight push of the trigger, and bang bang!, you have a deadly killer.

So quit with that "Yazoo pulled the trigger" shit. Seriously. If you're gonna write about guns and vehicles, you better research that shit. That's the other thing that annoys me. "Yazoo took his left hand and made the bike go". Other than the fact that they actually did animate Kadaj using his left hand, and therefore he now has double throttle (LOL INCONTINUITY), motorcycles have throttle on the right. Yazoo uses his right hand to "make the bike go". Research, dammit!

No love whatever,
Kadaj

( Plus a dream I had. )


Ahhh, Rufus. Stylish as always: falling to his doom in a great suit.

I FINALLY GOT MY MACBOOK.

It's pretty much God. I've spent about nine hours straight on this thing just playing around, customizing, integrating files from my PC, etc etc. I feel like a spoiled brat for owning this thing, but I swear it's like my most favorite toy ever. >:D I GOT A FREE PRINTER/SCANNER WITH IT TOO, WOO! Tomorrow I will attempt to hook this thing up to my awesome 22 inch screen of awesomeness and attach the keyboard/mouse I bought for it. And then I will throw my old crusty keyboard into the bayou, and there's a special place on the highway reserved for my old junky PC. LOL. XDD

Question for everyone! Well, for people with laptops/macbooks!

Have you guys customized the outside of your laptop (with like, a skin, a cool case, etc)?

If you did, could you describe to me what you did? Take pics? Give me links to cool places? See, my absolute ideal would be to have a laptop skin with either Ouran HS Host Club or Death Note on it, but I can't seem to find anything like that, and the websites that let you make custom skins frown upon copyrighted material. IS THERE A WAY TO GET AROUND THIS? HALP? lol D:

There are some things that I like that I can find skins of (such as rainbows and Hello Kitty); I just haven't really found anything I like enough yet. LOL.

Worse comes to worst, I'll just snap on a pink hard case and decorate it with STICKERZZZ or something, lol. THIS is a sticker I'd totally be putting on it if that's the case. XD

lol, キャリン　モーガン  would be me ^^

Totally going to be my next trainer name.
...I want Platinum ;_; Excuse being that it would totally help me with my Japanese studies. Who cares if it costs me two limbs and my soul to get imported?

I'm watching The Colbert Report. Is it bad that I like Stephen Colbert's sick!voice more than his normal one? Ahahaha, it's more sexy! (I'm pretty sure he's a bit on the ill side.)
LMAO, The Word is "acid flashback." Oh, Deno.

Went and visited Michael today. He has so many amusing stories. I do hope that he gets out soon, because as much as he tries to occupy himself it's not really working. He's staying strong.

Being the "resident computer expert" of the house, I've been getting called every ten minutes to see "what's going on" or "why isn't this working?" or "how do you enlarge the text?" or whatever. Ugh. Just because I know something about computers doesn't mean I can get hard drives back up and running, especially laptop ones. BTW, I really wish my neighbor would get back to me about the external hard drive I gave him. Unless he's having fun shifting through it, he maybe should have gotten it back. Maybe I'm having a cranky technology day.

We're also painting tomorrow. That shouldn't be too bad. And finally seeing BEN! (It's an official acronym now.) So yeah. I have things to do but I'm not feeling like doing anything. Ergh. Soyeah. I got some of my desk done today... And more stuff put in the box to give away, hoorah!

Everyone views Obama as some kind of Messiah. His speeches, while full of change and hope, leave me very angry. I just sat through an hour of him pretty much eloquently putting this country down, and no one is realizing. He had 85,000 people eating out of his hand. It makes me want to go up to him whenever he may be in Minnesota on his tours and tell him, "I'm sorry Mr. Obama, but I can pay for school by myself on 8.40 an hour, because I've always wanted to be my best, to be in that top 5%, but I refuse to pay for the other 95% of the country you claim is too poor to do it themselves." I'm in that 95% right now, hello it can be done! Why do democrats want to continue to give tax breaks to the people who don't pay taxes in the first place?

If you MUST defend Obama, tell me at least what he wants to do for me, I still haven't figured that one out.

So today my sister and I went over to the animal shelter to look at the pretty kitties and such. Most of them were older cats, a wild cat that kept climbing up it's cage wall, and a cat that was on drugs. No srsly. They called it "friendly" bcuz it ALWAYS purred, but when you got close to the cage, it would squirm and roll on the ground trying to get close to you as possible.

( But there were these three a-freaking-dorable kittens )

So uh... complications arose last night. We went out to get the laptop, but... something happened that I'm not comfortable sharing on my parents' behalf, lol. I'm so mad because they're going to go out to TRY to get it tonight again, but of course I have to work, so I'm not going to be able to be there for the buying of my laptop like I was yesterday. T___T Augh I left my house all excited, got denied at the Apple Store, and then we were all grumpy... uuurrrggghhh. WRRRRYYYY. I DON'T GET TO LEAVE MY HOUSE VERY OFTEN (aside from going to work) so that was a severe downer to me, since I thought it was going to be a happy night at the mall. ): DNW to work tonight. >> I wish I could call in, but that would be mean.

I'm so tired of staring at this crappy resolution. LOL.

Well, today was rly rather sucktastic. I'll give you the basics to what happened.

It was raining when I woke up.
I went down to say goodbye to John bcuz today was his last day & buy some soda to wake me up.
I left my wallet at home. Didn't get to say goodbye to John bcuz he was in back drive.
I had to walk home in the rain. Uphill in humidity. So not happy.
This caused me to miss my first bus. Never did get my caffeine.
Class was OK. But it did cause me to miss 5D. Minako teased me about it, made it sound awesome.
I almost missed my transfer bus home.
5D was not awesome. It was the first time I was disappointed with an episode. There was too much of nothing going on. I am so not a Aki fangirl.
Started to leave for work but forgot my keys, floor plan and umbrella.
Came back home to retrieve my things. Still forgot the umbrella.
Scott told me that the owners were coming. I stressed. They never came.
It rained on me rly hard on my way home.

If today proved anything it was that I needed my license. Too bad I am too damn stubborn to get it.

But if anything good did come out of it, it was that Nicole and I are going to go to Anime Detour in the Spring. It's gonna be April 3 - 5. I am super excited, bcuz I have always wanted to go to a Con but have never had anyone to go with. And now it actually gives me a reason to create a gijinka Buneary to cosplay. Yayz~

kamikaze_drag0n is now rocketdraggin.

New name, same mind-blowing content!

Stay tuned for more fabulousness. :D

Thanks to everyone who has responded to my science fiction inquiry in the last post. The list is growing, yay! Feel free to go to my last post and give me some suggestions on what sci-fi to read/watch. ^_^

I've been binging on Utena as I've been cleaning and rearranging my room. I didn't quite realize the cruelty of naming my grandma's cat "Nanami" until now. And cow!Nanami is pure win. I'm up to episode... 16. Shiori and Juri's ep in the Black Rose is next. I ♥ Shiori's voice. It's Lisa's sexiest voice ever, no lies.

( cleaning, changing, moving around )

Um, by the way, Rachael Lillis kicks my ass in every way. She's so awesome. I'm going to have to remember to post the picture of the poster I have in her Yahoo group.

There's not much else. Tomorrow is visiting Mike, and then painting my room. Friday is visiting Bun & Noir & Ellis, yay. (Maybe I will just abbreviate them as BEN. Or NEB.) Next week is starting to do Grandpa's eBay stuff. I'm, all in all, moving along quite well. I'm gonna go finish some small stuff. I feel like writing tonight, but I have to get up early, so I'll have to start soon. Maybe.

This looked fun. :D Stolen from Jack. <33

( It's fun, but I'm sure somebody'd bitch if I didn't put it behind a cut lol )

So, I'm not a Mary Sue, but I may also be boring. Shit! lol. XD

In other news, I am of a very bitchy disposition at the moment, so I am getting offline and playing Ranger. Being in a "fuck people" mood usually translates as "gtfo the intarwebs". So off I go. Remember to choose your team!

Dad said that tomorrow, we'd be going out to get my new laptop!! <33 I dunno how everything will go down, but I am happpyyyyyyy. So long, crappy PC from 10 years ago!

*spends the night throwing all of her files on her external drive, lol*

[ EDIT: And by laptop, I mean Macbook Pro. LOL I'll never quit calling them laptops! Ugh, to me, laptop has nothing to do with the make of the unit, and everything to do with its function- sitting on top of your lap. I can't quit making that mistake, no matter how many times I catch myself. XD ]

My internet access is seriously fudging up at the moment. :/ I'll try to regain access at my brother's place sometime this week, but in case this problem lasts a while, please leave a comment here if you or anyone else is trying to get in touch with me. orz I should be getting an aircard soonish though (by the end of this or next week) so hopefully I won't be away for too long.


EDIT: Well, it SEEMS to be working somewhat again, but if I fall off the face of the earth all of a sudden the above still stands. XD

Also, because I can:


THE "ANY REASON AT ALL" FRIENDING MEME

I have been so addicted to Country music lately. It just makes me so happy~

I'm gonna go write my AntiHero!Godwin theory/essay now. Mostly because, ew, math.
