we'll be right back after this: Justin Timberlake- SexyBack

Looks like the RP!Secrets Wheel of Hate has turned back around to DDD lately. Actually, the fact that the FF7 cast keeps getting specifically mentioned makes me think two things: One, that it's the same anon coming back repeatedly; and two, that they've got a grudge against at least one of our FF7-muns.

Either way, I'm not freaking out over it the way I used to. That's good, even if it has me going "wut" at myself a bit XD

I think I do reasonably well on apps, considering I don't know a lot of canons. If something's setting off alarm bells, I ask for another sample or I ask for someone who knows the canon to review it. If OOC apps sneak by- well, it's not because I didn't try. So I feel pretty good about that.


I finished a necklace for Aunt Kathy. I hope the fishing line I used holds- the only other cord I had thin enough for the beads was this stretchy stuff that came with a box of mixed glass ones, and it's so slippery I can't tie it without copious amounts of glue. And the glue just dries and looks tacky. So I asked Dad for some fishing line, and he gave me a spool of this monofilament stuff. Seems pretty strong (it's got to be, it has to hold struggling fish) and ties more easily; it's hard to work with, though, because it's so thin I can barely see it unless I hold it up to a light.


Hey, people on my flist who are in/graduated from college- how can I make tea in my dorm? Electric hot plates aren't allowed, Dad's assuming electric kettles like we have here aren't either, and I don't know if Taylor Hall has a kitchen, so I wouldn't have something to heat water with. D:

we'll be right back after this: Nine Inch Nails- Head Down

"Through The Fire And Flames" is best described as furious guitar wankery. (Even on Medium. At least, I think what was in the credits was Medium, since there was no orange note.) I was just standing there sometimes, only trying to hit one note color or just watching it scroll by. Damn.

Woot, Medium Career complete! Now to actually try to do well on the bonus songs before I move on to Hard. "F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X" y u haet me so?

Edit:

Note that Utah, Arizona, and Texas were just stops to change flights. I'll be able to add a few as "driven through" come the end of next month, when I head out to college...

we'll be right back after this: Linkin Park- Faint (Remix)

I don't understand my parents sometimes.

Meanwhile, seeing con and concert talk still has me burning with jealousy, but... who knows, maybe next year? maybe. But until then... it's going to be a boring couple weeks until I go to relatives'. And then college. I'm still not ready.

Shawn's mom asked why I'm not always over there like Cory and Niko. What was I supposed to say? It's not like I get invited over, and while I guess I *could* ask him... well, what are the odds that they really want me around, being loud and obnoxious and making bad jokes?

On the bright side, uh, it can be OTP tiems over at DDD? And this song is awesome. Yeah. Also, apparently rp_secrets got baleeted. Good riddance, if it stays gone.


Sorry I keep flooding your flists with my wangst.

we'll be right back after this: Disturbed- Dehumanized

My cats are insane. I was standing at the bathroom sink last night, right, brushing my teeth? And TC was sitting on top of the toilet. He kept rearing up on his hind legs and meowing, I figured he'd seen a bug and thought nothing of it.

Until, that is, he jumped over the shower door. (Taking out the curtain rod on the way.)

Remember, we're talking about this cat. That kind of jump I'd expect from Squeak, I've seen him jump that high before, but TC? I was dumbfounded.


In other news, I've been on the computer most of the time I've been awake today, just because there's nothing else to do. Except read, but I don't feel like reading any of the books I have. (As for fanfic- no one ever writes the pairings I want and that makes me a sad panda.) Does that mean I have a problem? Probably not, or Dad and Tricia would have said something.

Being stuck in the house is irritating. Not having friends to visit is also irritating (well, there's Shawn, I guess, but that would mean facing his annoying brother, and anyway what guy would want me dropping in? Too far to walk now anyway, especially in this weather.) And there's nothing else to do in this town even if it weren't too hot to walk. The library- well, like I said, books aren't holding my attention other than a rare few. (Empire of Ivory = goddamn Novik did you have to non-end it like THAT?) The pool's closed, and also too far to walk. The bowling alley's way too far to walk and I suck at bowling.
Doesn't help seeing people talk about the cons and concerts and stuff they're going to, and knowing I can't go to any of them. But eh. This is all my bad luck for living in Nevada.

Getting-rid-of-plotbunny progress: Not Good. The bunny is actually how it would end: not shiny fluffy happy at all... It's the getting there that can't possibly work ever.

Note to self because I'll space out tomorrow and forget otherwise: It's about time you confronted him about how much he's Doing It Wrong.

Blaaaaah.

we'll be right back after this: Within Temptation- See Who I Am

Today's just been kind of... gray. RP_Secrets didn't bother me at first- I lol'd- then I started thinking about how badly I play Larxene and that kind of brought me down, and I felt bad about other people being upset. I'm not really so motivated to play Creatures after getting thrown a wave of errors for no reason, and I was going to play Sims but keep ending up dicking around on the internet instead. I get kind of restless and gloomy when I'm stuck in the house for too long, even though there's nothing to do in this town. But I can't go out walking when it's 100+ degrees outside. Summer in the desert. Gotta love it, huh?

I'm ruining my wrists, but I don't have anything I especially feel like reading. :/

How appropriate, Media Player. Evanescence, for those moments when you just can't suppress your emo urges.


In less wangsty news, uh... My cats, let me show you them.
Fireball in the laundry basket.
Squeak, contemplating whether a bow is edible.
TC wonders wtf am I doing.
TC being cuddly and very fat.
Squeak and Fireball in the window. I wish Dad would move the trailer, it's blocking the sunlight :/
And have a bonus dog: Rolo, my aunt's awesome Aussie! Who beat cancer, at least for now (they say it's a kind that always comes back though.)


Edit: Also, damn you, Miri. XD The virus back in February had already bunnied me, and now the atrocity that is Liquid Fire brought said bunny back to gnaw on my brain, and there is no possible way to make it work and be IC.

Also, I don't get to go to concerts after all. We all forgot about the Mayhem Tour until today, and NIN's tourdates aren't anywhere near here until I'll already be in Nebraska. ;_;

we'll be right back after this: Evanescence- Lacrymosa

1. My Guitar Hero skills, let me show you them. (Translation: I can has "Perfectionist" achievement? Hey, the song was "Miss Murder" on Medium, but I still feel good about it.)

2. So for some reason, I decided I wanted to play Creatures again. I go ahead and set DS/C3 up on the laptop, put the most important downloads in, yadda yadda... I go in to set up the world, and when I try to put the Grendel Upgrade in the damn thing crashes. And now it won't open again. What the fuck, Creatures, what the fuck- that worked just fine on the other computer.
You know... in a way, I owe a lot to this game: it's what sparked my interest in biology, I think. And look at me now: about to head out to college and study biology and make a career out of it.
Okay, career out of environmental science. But I'm majoring in some kind of biology XD
And the community helped comfort me on one of the worst days of my life. So yeah. Glad to go back to the forums and see them still alive and kicking.

3. I miss Mom.

4. I still can't write. The words won't come- even though I know I need to proceed on Tapestry and want to respond to a request or two on WEWY!kinkmeme (because it NEEDS moar Uzuki/Kariya), and that old Creatures plotbunny has come back and is gnawing on my frontal lobe. (Actually, that plotbunny would work just as well as origfic, if I tweaked the creatures and backstory involved somewhat and called the shipboard AI something else instead of GAIA. Hmm... Maybe I should do NaNo again this year and not fail so epically at it.)

5. It's too bad I can't hook the 360 up to internet when we get high-speed. I want to play this song in GH. XD (Even though I'm willing to bet it'll kick my ass from here to Saturn even on Medium, because that seems to just be what bonus songs in GH3 do.)

we'll be right back after this: Halo Theme MJOLNIR Mix

Back from camping. It was good, as usual, and I'll have to post the pictures. I didn't get the birthdayfic done, or even started, sorry Ari- I couldn't think of a word to write of anything. Really weird, because normally I get extra inspired (not that that's saying much) when we're up there.

Maybe it's just that I've lost confidence in my writing again. (And confidence in general. Looking at the modcomm is making me feel kind of guilty right now.)

At least I don't have to feel like I owe you... when'd that tradition go away?

Seeing everyone talk about AX (and other cons, for that matter) is a bit depressing because I can't go to any of them. Especially not this summer. Can't get to AX because we just got home from camping and like hell would my parents let me loose in LA... can't get to Anime Vegas because I'll be moving into Hastings when that one's going on. (Or is it the beginning of August? I forget, but if it is I'll be at my grandparents' anyway. This is the only month I've got free.) There's one in Fresno, but it's a tiny one and I'll be at my grandparents'. At least I can get to Nebraskon in November, if I can find transportation... That's another tiny one though. Not being able to drive makes this all so much more difficult but Dad won't freaking teach me! He talks about professional lessons because he thinks he makes me too nervous, but no sign so far of actually getting them. I'll be the only kid in the whole damn college who can't drive.

Sigh.

you're not going to read this, I bet, but happy birthday Ari.

I'll probably still write the birthdayfic while I'm camping. get more inspired there.


Things I need to do:
- pack for camping
- finish laundry, already!
- type up chapter 4, I mean, it's been sitting in my notebook for over a month now. I guess I just don't feel confident enough in it even to show to a beta.
- apps
- speaking of which, should I app Minamimoto...?
- get over myself

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIFA

Yes, I know that was obnoxious. ♥


In other news- there is no other news, other than the annual camping trip is next week. I'll be gone from the 25th to the 2nd. ♥

Another Day is made of awesome and win.

My new 360 is also made of awesome and win, although I don't see a need for such a ridonkulously huge power brick.

I should work on birthdayfic but... it won't be noticed anyway.

The move went smoothly. I think my room is a little bigger, not that you can tell right now with boxes and stuff all over. Unfortunately, Dad and Tricia think it's necessary to drag me out of bed at six, twice in a row, so we can go clean the old house. :/ what do they need me for? I broke the vacuum. I'm just in the way.


Also, my first smut thread ever was Kori-approved. I've barely talked to her in so long but that makes me smile :)

i won't worry my life away: okay

I beat the game. I feel like such a wimp for beating Draco Cantus on easy.
... then again, what was I supposed to do? Reset and do the two boss fights before that again so that I could fight it on normal? Or take another half hour or more of frustration?

Oh well, the ending made me smile (when I wasn't going "wtf did you do that for".) Add "Here comes the Beat-wagon!" to the ever-growing list of lines that DEMAND icons. And now there's even *more* to do... this is not helping with my weird neuroticness over the amount of time I spend gaming.

Funny, I haven't even touched my Playstation for anything other than Guitar Hero in a couple months, and I'm still worried about spending too much time on video games. Heh... of course, that's because I've been online so much that I didn't want to game lest I damage my wrists even more. I'm full of fail like that.


I'm not going to have internet for at least a couple days. We're moving about a mile downtown (uptown? towards the outskirts.) to a place with a bigger garage so we can get all the stuff out of storage.
