New beginnings...

I got my words from havocmangawip. Comment for woooords.

1. Reply to this meme and I will give you five words that remind me of you.
2. Then post them in your journal and explain what they mean to you.

1. Dragons - At first, it was because I was obsessive and like collecting and breeding them XD I even had sticky notes that showed who I bred and what they produced. I bred them every friday 8D Yeah, that's kinda creepy, but whatever. >_> Now I don't really follow what's going on at all anymore. I post them because Pan will beat me with her walker if I let the eggs that she even more obsessively collects XD She can't start her own because I have a bunch that she can't get anymore, and she's one of those must have 100% completion types XD Ahah.

Speaking of eggs:

2. FMA - Pretty sure she picked this because the reason why we were friended was because I was reading her fanfic that focused on Havoc and Scheska, whose name I can no longer spell now that I've been out of the fandom for so long. >_> FMA wasn't my first anime by a long shot, and I actually didn't hear about it until loooong after it had ended in Japan. It's one of those shows that, as a total otaku who thought I had the pulse of anime under my thumb, I missed and STILL wonder how. Now I can see if things slip through, since I'm not watching and reading it all the damn time, but back then? How did I let a 51 episode anime that was SO EPIC slip my notice?

3. Cons (Your Otakon organization AMAZES me!) - Hur. If there's one thing I hate is when I'm on a trip and know I paid too much. Hell, even knowing I went to the store and got something and paid five dollars more than another place, if I haven't opened it yet, I WILL go back to that store, return it, and go buy it at the other place. I'm anal about money sometimes. Frankly, when it comes to planning trips where I have to pay for things like hotel, gas, food, ect, I don't trust anyone else but me to do it. I'm fair, make all the information fully available for how much everything is, and I don't add on extra padding. It is bare bones how much it is EXACTLY to get to that place and back. If you want something extra, go ahead, and if everyone else wants to do it, they can go for it, but I'm not going to be responsible for more money than I have to be. With hotel being more than a thousand bucks that I'm accountable for, I'm not looking for anyone else to give me more money. Other than that, cons are fun and I enjoy meeting up with people from across the country for that once a year get together. The actual events themselves aren't really the draw when I go to anime cons now. It's the people \o/

4. RP - I talk about and do it so much, most people on my f-list acquaint me with RP. If I talked about more RL stuff that actually mattered, RP might fall by the wayside, BUT as of right now, most of my f-list I've met through RP. Only the oooold folks know me from way back when I actually wrote fanfic. RP has gotten me a lot of friends, and I'd say it's lost me a few, too, but that's life. I enjoy it, but wish it hadn't killed most of my other creative urges XD;; I actually might be able to say the computer in general killed them... >_>

5. Avatar - When Avatar was still airing, I totally spazzed all over my LJ about it. I enjoyed it, and if I re-watched it, would enjoy it again. If there's one thing I lament about Avatar is that it didn't have the anime length seasons of 13, 26, 52. I think that show could have done a LOT more fleshing out with 6 more episodes to each season. The thing I both like and don't like about it is that there weren't many cliffhangers at the ends of episodes. That's something that has me flipping tables in anger all the time, but if it meant more time to flesh things out, I would have loved that series even more. I will say though, for a kids show, it was/IS pretty awesome. |D

Oh god DX

Do want!

*gimme hands*

It had been a mistake to think -even if it was for one minute, one second- her enemy was anything less than evil. She’d gotten captured and was brooding over her ever-present bad luck when he had been thrown it. It was only natural that she would attack him, and berate him, and hate him for all that he had done, for the things that she knew he’d do later. She had ranted and raved and even cried –if only a little- in front of him. Then, he’d told her about his mother, and his expression wasn’t one of deceit or smugness. No anger or malice. Just understanding and acceptance. That was when she truly began to wonder if he really was so different from them after all; to think that maybe he wasn’t all bad, and that maybe, just maybe, she should help him.

In the end, she was glad she didn’t.

They had been found and released by their respective friend and relative. They went up the tunnel and she couldn’t help but look back at him, to see his face downcast and unlike anything she’d seen before. She thought ‘Maybe’, but still left him with his Uncle. It was then that they were attacked, but this time, she felt sure they could win. It had been months of hard travel, of fighting, surviving, training, and moving. She was a master, and her opponent, this girl, couldn’t beat then both. They had three elements on her side, and she had just the one.

They would settle this once and for all.

But then the fireblast hit, and she looked over at the disturbance. Him. For the one moment, she had thought it might be the time. That they would have the four elements and the war would come to an end sooner than they had hoped.

Fate and hope were fickle masters who had long since teamed up against her.

He attacked one of her closest friends and she knew it just wasn’t meant to be. The changes she’d seen hadn’t been enough. They had been enemies in the past. They were enemies right now. And they would be enemies in the future. There was no escaping it.

She shouted at him, demanding an answer for what she had thought, hoped, had changed. His response was less than telling, and the time for talk was long over. This was a fight for the future. A fight for one of the last major cities outside of military control, and even though they gave it their all…

They lost…

Her friend had fallen. They were surrounded. It was over. Even after they made their escape thanks to help from their enemies’ uncle, things had never looked bleaker. Their situation had only gotten worse, and their only hope was barely alive. The feelings of remorse and companionship –thought short lived- she had felt with the prince were gone, and now only bitter resentment remained.

There was nothing to be gained from hopeful wishing. There was nothing that hope could give. She would have to take control of everything herself. She was everything except ready, but that wasn’t going to stop her. She was a master. She would figure out something…

Hmmmm, going to akuni's journal gave me the idea to do a top ten list. I've been doing them off and on and never finishing them, but this one I can totally do right now. The first few are definitely in order of the most violent urges to bitchslapping, but after that it's just a general thing.

( Top 5 Characters I Want To Smack )

That's it. I am now in a list mood, and I have a feeling that at least one more list is going to pop up before I go home today from school... A list or a character study... Stupid Zuko, making me want to do a character study on him...

::snerk:: Anybody have somebody they want to add to the 'Bitch!slap' list? I really want to make this a top 10 eventually, but I couldn't think of any series besides Bleach, Eureka, Naruto, and Avatar... =_= I'm now suddenly thinking of Hagaren, but I haven't ever had an urges like that... at least when it comes to stupidity...
