♪ It's like riding on the wind, and it never goes away

HEY GUYS WHAT'S UP HAVEN'T UPDATED IN A WHILE


Let's see. RL has been pretty much the same-- go to work, hang out at home, die in the humid heat of a premature North Carolina summer, you know the same ol' same ol'. I did pick up the Sonic Mega Collection Plus a while back, and even after quite a bit of practice in the games, I'm happy to report my video game suckage extends to Sonic. XD


Ordered the EXE Official Complete Works, finally. I'm already bouncy for it to get here too; hopefully it'll be here early next week. And I've also been rereading the manga. Now if only I could find somewhere that's still up that has Battle Story scanslations. I never DID finish that one on Tanjou.


RP has been kinda slow lately; I've dropped down to one person (blackshadowsins) over at Ink City, and I'm still on hiatus at DDD; not to mention when I come BACK from hiatus I'm going to drop half my cast (which is only four, but whatever). Speaking of RP though, still hooked in Achaea. Four characters so far, one permanent. If you like MUDs check it out, this thing is addicting XD (And in the event someone reading this is already in Achaea, or going to be, my characters' names are Derxanei, Omineth, Deirenari, and Leganoss.)


In slightly dimmer news, I've decided to stop uploading to my DA account for a while. Mostly due to drawing not being fun anymore since I was concentrating too much on how many comments or faves they got (which was a dismal number in the first place) instead of doing it for the fun of it. So I'm still drawing, BUT. I might actually put some in my LJ here, since it's such a smaller crowd and I know they're all friends XD So, we'll see.


YEAH. I think that's all I got. Hopefully I can keep updating this regularly again.

I think it's been a month or so since I actually last read my LJ f-list. Not that... I actually comment anywhere, so it's not as if anyone but me would notice. But still, agh x_X


On a sidenote, I hate my subconscious sometimes. Mental purge is go.


Oh yeah. I've gotten into playing Achaea as of late. It's a pretty fun text-only MUD, which is slowly being spread like a virus through the other Marauders. Pup got me, we both got Onyx, he's getting LL... It's a sickness X3

Ugh. I know I'm not always on AIM/online but last night was a particular fail. Several nights in a row of bad sleep caught up with me, and I utterly crashed. So, apologies to the people I missed.


Anyway, I've got to start collecting Dark Matter in TWEWY, and have one pin of it already. ...*stares at the boss symbols needed to fight, and siiiighs* At least two of them are only on Hard. The one I got so far was with Beat on Ultimate, and I admit I feel like a bit of a superstar because of it |D Still. Ugh. Is it weird I'd rather fight Kitaniji's than Pi-face Minamimoto's? God I hated that fight @_@;

In a bit of funny related news though, in Mingle mode earlier I "ran into a vengeful spirit..." while I was reading the Secret Reports (which, let's face it, I'll NEVER be able to collect on my own XD ) on the wiki. Yeah, that's what I get for cheating, huh?-- *shot*


I am so behind in going through my LJ and adding entry tags to older posts, round two. And RP replies in general. LJ on my end doesn't quite work up to usual, but I think it works well enough that I can stop putting those off. >.> XD

Saw Toy Story 3 for a second time yesterday. I love that movie so <3


Also, for those keeping score, I FINALLY BEAT STUPID ZERO 1. And am officially halfway through Zero 2. I'm getting there, slowly |D Still have the urge to create a Leviathan journal.


There's a note next to my hours today that says "Outside." I'm wondering what the hell that means, while at the same time that just means we have a sale table set up outside the store but inside the mall >_>


MANTA. I woke up to see the Dogs 101 segment about huskies. I think it's a sign we need to continue the AU RP. Y/N? XDXDXD


Speaking of RP, I have several comments to catch up on. And some mun journal ones to reply to too. So much fail lately, jeez XD
(And on the note of the journal, have to finish my moodset. And tagging old entries.)


My DrA dragon is finally a teenager~ dark dragon teens look so awesome And eh... hopefully I can actually stop failing at Dragon Cave soon XD;...

Let's count all the ways CB fails, shall we? Dropping comment threads, nodding off at 10:30, not waking up until 5, and just plain being flighty and stupid in the first place.

In short, I'm sorry guys. I've been a rarely spotted, unreliable figure lately, but hoping I can fix it soon. I'll be back to old form soon, I promise.

There is a small chance of me going to small Zenkaikon up in PA at the beginning of November. There is a bigger chance of me going to Anime USA in VA at the middle-end of November.

As Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb. Not as if I have the body type, but oh well.

At first I just suggested it to con partner Manta as a joke (including her being Perry) but then she just enabled me into it.

...Not that I did much to stop her. Damn me and my general laziness since it'd be an easy cosplay-- er I mean, damn not being a seamstress and able to do more complicated outfits. *cough*


So yeah XD Dr. D at Anime USA. *sighs* Oh, what am I doing with my life.


Failing that, or maybe for an alternate day, I have plans for a Giro cosplay. So we'll see XD


Now go participate in my memes.

I think I know why, when I ask "What RP character of mine am I most like?" people will almost unfailingly answer Giro. Like him, more often than not I have the experience of "been there, done that", and if I haven't had direct experience with the subject at hand, I at least have third-party knowledge. I take in the lost and try to give them direction, I hold the sad until they stop crying, I laugh with the happy and spread their joy. I give everything of myself before asking for an ounce back. I comfort and I advise, and I watch. Even if I never say anything, I see it all. And people will always know I'm there, even if they never see me.

I just hope we don't share the same fate.

I've been spamming this icon everywhere ever since I made it for burine_ame what the hell am I doing


kaboot, I'm REALLY sorry I have yet to get back to you on those threads XD;;; Like I mentioned in an entry the other day (which I'm not sure you saw?) I'm just concentrating on my game-affiliated people right now :\ Look though, I have a musebox. Would you be up for doing something in it sometime? Same offer to you Safty, since it's been forever and a day since we did something together. Musebox? XD


I think I'm going to buy the costume I chose for work. (For those unaware, every year around Halloween we have to choose one of our costumes and wear it during each shift. We have the option of buying it at 50% off) If I do, I'll take a picture, at least of me in the shirt. The pants are stupid and won't stay up, so I just wear it with my jeans. And no, I'm not telling you what it is until you see the photos. ;P

I went to yard sales yesterday, and managed to get a few things. A new large CD wallet/book.. thing, a clipboard and a notebook, a decent pizza cutter (our current one was dull as hell), a new umbrella, one or two other odds and ends... Let's see, what else. Oh yeah.

THE ART OF FINAL FANTASY IX. FUCK YEAH.

It's already inspired me to revamp one character design, or at least start to. I'm sure there will be others.


In RP news, I think disney_dress is sucking me in XD I've been playing over there a lot lately, and even intro'd a second character (longnshortofit for the curious). ...And all this while two of my characters at DDD are in baaaaaaaad need of activity. Sigh. Well, maybe I can find something to do with them tonight.


Meme!

ANONYMOUS CONFESSION MEME

Tell me a story. Write me a novel, or give me a single sentence, one word. Give me a comment and see if I can figure it out. Tell me of your love, your hate, tell me you don't care.

Confess to something you're proud of, admit to something you're ashamed of. Tell me your deepest secrets, or tell me something you think I should know about you and don't. Ask me anything you would like to know about me. Get something off your chest, tell me I'm an idiot. Tell me you're an idiot.

Tell me you love me. Tell me you hate me. Tell me you love someone else. Tell me anything of worth or just something random you want to share. Ask for my advice on something. Give me your advice on something. Tell me we should talk more. Tell me we should talk less. Ask me "truth or dare." Anything. I'll listen, and comment back if necessary.

So comment away. IP logging off, anonymous commenting on. Speak honestly. Post as many times as you like. Go crazy.



Is it strange that I'm just as happy to get common dragons as I would be in the event of a really rare find? xDD
Oh, and I didn't notice my Carvanha had been bred by one of GPX's admins until I hatched the thing. Observant am I. ...Not. No event egg for me either. Oh well, better luck next time.

If I ever, EVER mention reading Tear Jerkers over at TVTropes at 5 AM again, somebody stop me?


On an unrelated note, I'm continuing to plug along in Professor Layton. Sort of. I'm beginning to get a hatred for the math puzzles though ~___~


And just for one more unconnected thought, this has been rotating through my mind a lot lately. I wonder... I wonder if she knows how happy she makes me, and how much I'd give to do the same for her.

You know, Dynasty Warriors really is more fun to play with a friend. Unfortunately, the only person I routinely play with is my nephew, and he hasn't been able to visit lately XD; Hopefully something soon, though.


I know it may be weird to have favorite commercials, but I really like that one Folgers commercial with the riverdancing. I don't even know why, but it just... I dunno. I just love it.


I have a weird cat. A cute cat, but very weird.


Now some photos! All links, just because.

A rainbow sighted in the sky over the apartments. It's technically a double one, but you can't really see the other unless you squint your eyes and step back XD; It was also kinda obscured by clouds, but oh well.

And the promised photos of the dragon fountain. The whole thing. Closer up. From the back.


That's all. I'm going to bed. (YES AT 7 AM HUSH. xDD ) Scratch that, staying up a liiiiittle while longer.



Relicanth eggs look like marking-less soccer balls.
