New beginnings...

As much as horrifying Pan on her return from... wherever she went... at the eggs she had carefully plucked being dead would amuse me to tears, I'm going to post them here. So you all click on them. =o=



And moving on from there, Tuesday I am either going to be in Newport News for Census work, or New Jersey harassing Kris for a few days. Cheza, if you were 2 hours closer I would be popping up at your house =D; I'm torn as to which one I want most. Census work means MOAR MONEY. And I definitely need it, as it's ending sooner than I had hoped. But a trip up to Jersey may be what I need. Just to get out of the damn house and DO something different.

After Otakon, I think I'm going to go on a site seeing tour around VA. I've lived here most of my life and yet haven't been so so many places. Luray Caverns... And I wanna visit Colonial Williamsburg. I haven't been there since... middle school field trip. Maybe pop up in jamestown or york town. Just... soak in all the history that's around me. Anyone going to Ota who wants to travel down to VA is welcome to join me, as long as I have room in my car, or you have you own >_>;; But Imma be running my own schedule, so if you want to do something different, I will leave you behind if I'm not interested \o

This one's from akuni.

Reply to this meme by saying "Nice nice very nice," and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your journal and explain what they mean to you. If I don't know you well, I'll probably give you some odd wordage. I'm sure none of you are surprised by this.

She gave me: role playing; crack; Itachi; Grimmjow; LJ screen names

Role playing ○ Mmm, yes. RPing. It has [sadly] taken over a lot of my creative juices ever since I started doing it. I like RPing, and it's fun, and it helps me think quicker on my feet than I'm able to in normal conversation >_>; I also like trying to get into the minds of characters not my own. I started it as a way to do proper character studies, but now... it took a life of its own >_>

Crack ○ Fff. I can be pretty crackalicious, especially when I was writing fanfiction. I remember the random joint-fic Cheza and I were writing, or when MooChi-nee was still active on the interwebz and I would feed her the most random stuff that she's spin into some horrible story we would laugh at for ages. Like Urahara's preggo beams, and that bastards abortion beams. Good times. Good times |D

Itachi ○ He was the first muse that I actually apped into a game to play as. Probably a bad choice, because there were so many nuances with playing him that I didn't get until looong after I dropped SH. He's still one of my favorite characters in Naruto, but I can't pull him off in RP anymore. His muse is deader than dead. It just stopped being fun to play him, and the people I played him off of best are gone or I don't share a game with them anymore. I can still pull of his deadpan sense of humor, but I think that's more my own than his XD

Grimmjow ○ Of the Arrancar, hell, most of the characters in Bleach, he's my faaaavorite. I debate if his muse will ever truly die, even if I still play him as a petulant AU!teenager best. SH shaped the way I played him AU, and LSG -bless that game XD- helped me play canon. The Grimmjow/Orihime pairing is still one of my favorite pairs in fanfiction, and looking back on the series I never finished, I'm still quite proud of it. Horrendous spelling errors aside.

LJ Screen Names ○ I am horrible. HORRIBLE. At coming up with screen names. I think my wittiest were the first ones I came up with, and after that it totally went down hill. Sooo, I asked the resident writer and totally more creative and capable than me AKUNI to help. Often times, I'd poke her to help me with screen names for characters that I was about to RP. I feel like sns can tell you a lot about a character before you ever interact with them, and I really like trying to distill their personality or traits into one 15 letter name. I should have poked her for help with Blaine, because his screennames sucks. That's what I get for picking it out myself. :[ *needs a rename token*

I finished Professor Layton \o/

Ahahaha EPIC SWORD FIGHT!

And WTF, we didn't even FIND her again. She just appeared in the credits. Laaame.

Also: YOU LET THE HAMSTER GET FAT AGAIN, YOU BASTARD.

It is a sad day indeed when Pan [schwanzpron, go friend her people] gets an LJ NOT for keeping tabs on me, OR for keeping up on LJ comms she stalks for the latest manga news. No. She gets it to save some DRAGONS.

These little bastards right here:

I'm feeling the love. Really.

In other news, I watched the DtB finale the day it was subbed. I AM STILL CONFUSED some week later.

I took another of my random 'let's drive for no reason' romps. This time I went to Goochland and THERE IS NOTHING OUT THERE. My God. No Alpaca farm this time, but I saw some cows. I think I do this weird driving thing when I want to find some place new to eat and just.... don't stop driving. A waste of gas for sure, but it was nice. I should have left earlier so that I wouldn't have been out when it was dark, but alas. I stopped at Bullets and had chickens trips [not what I wanted] and an apple pie [I did want].

Then I get home and Cheza BODYSLAMS ME for new years and reminds me of Otakon. I'm looking forward to Otakon again this year, but I don't know if I'm going to have the money to go. Seriously, it'll cost me 200ish to go [gas, hotel, food] and even if I save up everything for it, something always happens that wipes out my savings account. My rainy day fund gets used for emergencies and I have entirely too many emergencies. Car breaking down. Insurance after I lost my job. Yadda yadda. It wouldn't be so bad except I still don't have any goal in life it feels. If I had a finish line it would make my life so much easier. Instead I'm just skating by. ~__~


And as a note: This icon I'm using on this entry is entirely Pan's fault.

Happy birthday yuujisou~!

Are you old yet :|?





Aaaand:

Sometimes, you just have to jump back into RP to remember just how fun it was. I haven't had so much fun tagging with Yukino in a long time and I missed it. I think I'm just going to work on making some delicious s-links with her instead of trying to bring in someone else. I haven't ever been good at balancing characters in RP anyway, even if it's only two per game.

Darker than Black. |D Oh Hei.

Already smackin' bitches and it's only episode 3. Fffffff. But why so scruffy, Hei? Why so scruffy! D8



Fairy Tail was okay, but I 1. didn't like the animation/character designs; 2. Lucy's voice was okay, but I didn't think Natsu's voice fit; and 3. I felt like I was watching the shounen's version of maho shoujo with all the magic circles and stuff whenever they do magic. It kinda makes sense, but... no. Animation filler do not want. D: I won't be watching the show anyway, so I shouldn't complain. Just remind me when Erza comes in so I can vote on her voice =o=



Black Lagoooon. I've been reading the manga recently... because I have a serious hard on thing for Balalaika. |D Revy's good, too. The amount of girls in the series who kick ass makes me feel warm inside. But seriously, somewhere around this chapter, Rock started turning into one sexy manipulative bastard. I prefer it, but it's weird. This whole arc of the story has him sliding downhill fast. I wonder if he's going to change back at all. I doubt it, and I hope he doesn't...


I'm still amazed so many people read Wolfen Crest. I think I'm going to blame it on Mike. But spreading the pimp of Inugami isn't bad so...


New anime or manga? What do you guys recommend? Art-wise? Story-wise?

I hereby take this oath that will be upheld by the LJ Creed of... something:

I, Kage, hereby state that I will try not to be so fail on activity in my current pretendy time games. It is unfair to squat on characters that no one else will play that others may wish to interact with.

*blood seal*

So yeah. I'm going to be dead in a week when I break this. =o= So who wants a quick thread before I do?

I've been looking at a lot of Anime/Random selling places on LJ, thinking about using that versus eBay to sell off some of my stuff, but they are entirely too cheap. 5$, even if S&H is included is 'too expensive' but considering most manga cost 10 or 8.99 [I rarely get SJ series] that's still pretty cheap. 3-4$ including S&H is a rip-off to the seller, and I'm not that desperate. I want to make money, but I'm not going to sell myself short because LJ people are excessively cheap.

If all else fails, I'll try for trades for series I want, because I'm behind on a lot of things since I haven't bought any manga aside from Monster 18 in months. Maybe since Christmas of last year. I have too much stuff sitting around I don't want anymore.



My first 8 hour day of work was okay until my legs started to hurt like a bitch. DX I definitely prefer mornings over nights, but I generally hate mornings. It doesn't matter much since my schedule is allll over the place. I barely get 20 hours next week because Tuesday I was unavailable and I couldn't switch with anyone ~_~ If I get done early enough, [before or around 6 so I can get to work by 7] I may call and ask if they want help just to get those extra 3 hours. The next week I have 33 hours. So yay \o\ [and boo for dying]. Either way, my check was more than I thought, but I'll probably get zilch back in federal taxes. *sighs* Something to think about later. I have to see about another job because car insurance is around the corner [again] and I won't be able to eat otherwise. Hopefully Wachovia will be hiring next month if all else fails. For the "Holiday Season", even though WTF has money?

Aaaand now I sleep. No sleep last night, so early night for me. I have to remember to poke that person tomorrow when I finish my shit. *sighs*

Ahaha, shiiit.

I forgot the BDPA conference was NEXT WEEK. I'd be leaving Tuesday and coming back, like Saturday or something? Fucking hell how am I going to keep up with anything?

My To Do List:

◘ Update website
◘ Do Tsurei's icons
◘ Tag around PV
◘ Final check of mod lists
◘ Wash all of my clothes [ALL OF THEM]
◘ Read the last 3 weeks worth of SC posts >_>;
◘ Grimmjow post before I'm booted
◘ Get Laharl his bed
◘ Call about my application
◘ Grocery shopping
◘ Schedule ATL trip
◘ Itachi post
◘ WTF does Alto get for a present?

That list is in no particular order. Because I'm about to flee anyway for wherever I decide to go... I'm tempted to stay at home. I'm tired and have things I need to be doing.

...that and I need to go Grocery shopping *adds that to the list* but I'll be gone for half the week, so is it even worth going? ARG.
