MONTH OF DOOMNESS

Sat, 26 Sep 2009 20:03:44 GMT

So yeah. Haven't posted in a month. I've been busy.

My dad had a light stroke so I've been taking care of hom for the past couple of weeks. He's doing a lot better now. The new brain damage he has is minimal. He's been really active. I'm so glad he is doing better. His stroke scared the shit out of me.

I have more than one test every week in college. Bleh. I've been studying. More bleh. DX College is awesome though. There is this one group of ~~jocks~~ guys that keep making fun of me but I pay them no mind. They are losers. I love Sociology. I think I'm going to do a double major in it and English.

Got a job at Wendy's. YEAH. Yesterday was my second day and I sucked the balls. :/ Am going in again today so I will do better. I LIKE EVERYONE I WORK WITH! They are the major awesome. We were really busy yesterday but most of the customers were nice. <3 <3 <3 It's some of the hardest work I've ever done though.

Whelp have to get ready for work so there is meh month in a nutshell. Will try to post more tomorrow when it's meh chillax day.

May I take your order,

I <3 College Because I <3 Knowledge

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 20:53:47 GMT

Came back from vacation couple of weeks ago. Had a great time at the beach. Not so great time at the anime convention. The novelty of it wore of in a couple of hours for me. I don't know if I'm too much of a nerd or not big enough of one to like that sort of thing. Bought a couple of issues of Black Cat and a set of dishes made in Japan there. Met some coll people and took some cool pictures. Had a crap Kuwabara costume because Geo underestimated the amount of time it would take to put my hair up in a pompadour. Plus the shirt and the pants weren't the same shade of blue and my I <3 Smowgirl headband was written in English because writing on fabric with sharpie is hard enough. >_< Good time was had, but I just didn't go as much as Geo and Judith did. Will upload photos later. Am too lazy right now. Plus, College!

First two days of college were amazing. Most of my course work is online. Teachers are really nice. I have a lady crush on my Biology professor. She's super-spastic. My history professor is a lot like my dad. Not surprising considering they're friends. My sociology professor is awesome and so are my algebra and learning frameworks teachers. I just woke up from a nap so I'm a little Nnnnnngh right now. @_@

Am looking foward to this year

Will go into more detail laters. But you know, since I haven't posted in a couple of weeks here ya go. Also, am 18 now! Whootness! My birthday was monday. Was also sick on said birthday. T__T But I'm all better now.

Am playing Pokemon Red again to sate my GameBoy Addiction. Still can't find Oracle of Seasons. :/ However, Pokemon Trainer L has a really kickass Oddish named Matsuda. XD

I may be able to start looking for a job soon, depending on whether or not the government sends a check. I don't think they will so yay job! I'm going to try and get a job with Jon to keep him motivated and stuff. Or whatever. I'm thinking Denny's, because it's down the street and they're always hiring.

I'm writing. Slowly, but surely. I forgot why I got discouraged and now I remembered. PUBLISHING COMPANIES ARE A BITCH. No one will take unsolicited manuscripts. *sigh* I guess I'm just going to have to keep on trucking.

Jon has another interview Tuesday ay 7:25 am. DX Western Container likes to see how badly you want to work for them.

Am going on vacation in two weeks to Corpus and San Antonio. Am going to anime convention as Kuwabara. Not making a costume. I'm just going to wear blue and put my hair up in an orange ponpadour. Geo is going to help with meh hair. Am excited but will miss Jon the entire time I'm gone. (6 days. DX Will be so lonely without him. We hang out all the time.) Aunt Beth better be pleasant this time or I'm going to be pissed.

Mom was really sick but is doing a lot better now. I can tell because she won't stop finding me stuff to do. Lol. I was really worried about her.

I'm going to be hanging out at Jon's house mostly because we think his dog, Dusty, is about to die. He's 12 years old and not doing so well. Jon is going to be devestated because he's had Dusty since he was small. Makes me sad. T__T \

Who is your favorite lady detective from movies, books, or TV?

View 506 Answers

ANGELA LANSBURY. I used to watch Murder She Wrote with my Great-Grandmother all of the time before she died. Even as an old woman, I still thought she was as beautiful as when she was in The Picture of Dorian Gray. Murder She Wrote was such a great show because it wasn't unnecessarily gory like some detecive shows today. It was mellow but still deep in it's own way. Plus, I think it's empowering to see a woman well into her sixties solve dangerous murder cases. I can honestly say that this show is the biggest reason I'm into the mystery genre today.

College Stuff!

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 14:05:53 GMT

Went and paid for my tutition yesterday. Also found all but one of my classes. They're doing constuction so they've moved everything around. :/ 3 out of 5 of my classes are in the same building. Go me! ^__^ I'm going to have classes all the way through lunch so I'm going to have to get in the habit of eating a big breakfast. And I'm probably going to take crackers or something with me to class. Still don't know where I'm going to work but I hope I get a job at the college bookstore. I got an application and they said they couldn't hire me until I was 18 anyway so it all works out. I'm going to go get applications the week before classes start so I'll hopefully be working part-time early on in the semester. And that'll leave my nights off to be social or whatever. I'm not going to have school on the weekends so that works in my favor too. ^__^

Have been reading and writing and doing chores when I feel lazy. Have also been finding more excuses to drive. ^__^ I understand why people like it so much, although I manage to get flipped off almost every single time I drive. >__O I'm getting better at parking though. (I like to think.)

I'm really glad summer is almost over. (Well, half-way over.) I'm having to find things to do and I'm just not used to that.

Have been watching the video for Gravedigger by Dave Matthews constantly. I love that video. <3

Off to find something to do,

Nnnngh. Jon was sick yesterday and had to miss work so I took care of him. I think I caught what he has, only not as bad. Blegh. My dad has it too. And my mom's been all shaky today. I think it's blood sugar. At least, I hope it is because it's the easiest to fix and the safest to have, all things considering.

Drove Mom to the store and we bought a bunch of fruit. Saw Mrs.Battle, who looked kind of nervous as I talked to her. I think she thought I'd be mad about her telling my mom Jon was a bad kid in high school. I was but I get it. She was just trying to look out for me, however misguided she may have been. I appreciate it but don't need it, plzkthnx. We bought an assload of fruits and vegatables, which my dad will probably only graze on since his cholesterol is high. He's of the "This isn't food! This is what food eats!" school when it comes to fruits and veggies. I was so mad when he was diagnosed with high cholesterol. He's six foot four and weighs less than I do half the time because of his polycythemia. He has to eat high calorie foods to gain weight. Ugh. Way to win, Fate. Way to win.

I've been feeling down for no reason lately. I've been feeling like there is no purpose for me to achieve, no grand scheme full of meaning that includes me. I'm excited about college on one hand and on the other I'm like "What's the point?" I become a teacher and then what? Will I really be able to understand my students, help them through their own personal hells? I've been brooding on the whole "Why do I exist?!" thing. What am I good for? What can I accomplish for the good of mankind? How can I help the world? You know, that good ole philosophizing stuff. (Which I have been reading. Which may be why I'm like this. I got really sad the other day because I read White Oleander. I've seen the movie, but all sorts of fucked up shit happens in the book that they don't show in the movie. T___T It's so sad.)

I hope this feeling doesn't last too long. I'd like to go back to the happt, go-lucky self I've been used to these past two years. On a lighter note, I've begun writing again. I haven't written much lately so I have to ease myself back into the swing of it. Also, I'ma ctually working on original stuff before I work on fanfiction! ZOMG *gasp*. I feel that this is an accomplishment and it makes me feel a little more meaningful.

I registered for college Monday. Walked over campus for 3 hours to do it too. Howard College is having some construction done so they moved everyone to different places. >__O Got my stuff for the CLEP test for Freshman Composition. Am confident I'll pass to get credit for both semesters. *knock on wood* Got my schedule and the cost of tutition. It's a little over $800. Good thing I have a Texas Tomorrow fund. @__@ I need to find the card they sent me though. It's in a safe place in my room but still. I can find the freakin' envelope it came in but not the card. I'm freaking out about it, because I need that card to pay tutition. Ugh. I'll guess I can get them to send me another one.

I'm also anxious to get a job. I need one. When I'm 18, the government won't give my parents money to help take care of me so then they won't have any to take away. I want to start saving desperately. Plus, I need something to do. I'm going through a book every two hours.

My schedule is going to get really busy when school starts. I'll have all morning classes through lunch and, hopefully, a job in the afternoons. I won't have school Friday-Sunday so that will be a relief. Night will be my main social time for a while. I'm currently signed up for five classes. Biology on Mondays and Wednesdays at 8:00
am(with lab at 1:00 pm Mondays), Introduction to Sociology at 9:30 am on Mondays and Wednesdays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I'll have College Algebra at 8:00 am, United States HIstory at 9:30 am and Learning Frameworks at 11:00 am. (The last one is some lame 'Welcome to College!' class. I'll be done with it come October.)

...Unnngh. On the way to being a teacher....

I shouldn't even be stressing. But that damn card....Nnnngh....

It'll hopefully be better in August.

I just got done reading the last Sookie Stackhouse book.

If I sit on my ass for too long, I start to feel bad for not doing anything. It's a sickness
I guess I'm just not used to not being productive.

Didn't get to drive out of town. Was very relieved. ^__^ Dad drove us. We went out to eat and took my mom to the fabric store. I didn't really want to go out of town because my asthma was acting up but eh. We've been having a lot of dust storms since the year started and it's been hell on my lungs. They look like a ravaged wasteland. DX My asthma began getting worse the winter of Junior year because of the cold. Then, this winter, it began to rebel. I had to use my nebulizer (Breathing machine thing) four times a day. Now, I only need it once or twice. However, I have trouble swimming/running/sweeping. I had to drop out of swimming right before District this year because the doc was worried I'd get an infection because my lungs were so torn up. So that sucked.

We got a new coach. Coach Shaw and hs wife left town. Rumor is that they're divorced now. I certainly hope not. :/ New coach was named Coach Nelson and he was in the Coast Guard. We had a lightining at the beginning of the year so we couldn't swim and he was all D:<

Coach: I SWAM IN HURRICANES! AND YOU CAN'T SWIM BECAUSE OF SOME %&*%^^&() LIGHTINING?!
Us: ...*sweatdrop*

Yeah. He was badass to the hardcore. He was also really nice. I'm going to miss him. This year's Freshman started out like my class did. New coach, not having any idea how to swim. I didn't really bond with the team as much as I did last year because of all the new people. There was lots of drama, which I'll need an LJ cut for. So I'll recount that another time.

It's late, I have to take pain medication for my friggin' teeth and I'm feeling ranty. Dear God. :D

I've rekindled my love for Resident Evil. The first time I ever played it was in 2003. It was the original, for Playstation 1. I was over at Kacey's house. And we didn't get very far because it scared the hell out of us. And Kacey had just moved into a house 10 miles from town.

Yeah.

I always regretted not finishing that game. T__T However, Outbreak is ten kinds of super special awesome! I can't really get past the third senario, The Hive. It takes place in a hospital (which already gives me Siren flashbacks. O__o RUN, TAMON!)and you go into room 203, where you find a handgun. You're thinking "Sweet. Something to fight the zombies with-OH GOD!" and a friggin' leech man drops from the vent.

Yeah.

I hate leeches. And you have dumb AI partners who run in. AND DON'T LISTEN TO WHAT THE HELL YOU SAY TO THEM. In the second senario, Below Freezing Point, both my AI partners got killed by the Mutated G because they didn't know how to get the hell out of the way. But it was all good. I survived. ^__^ Anyways, so you get out of the room. And if you're bleeding, either heal yourself or wait for it to stop because leech man can find you three times faster if you're bleeding. D: Oh, and if your AI partners die at the hand of leech man, they also turn into leech men.

Me: Ok, annoying AI partner. Sorry, buuut I'm sacrificing you so the less annoying AI and me can get away.
-A Few Minutes Later-
Two leech men attack.
Me: Fuck this shit. *turns game off*

Leech men are scarier than they sound.

Basically, since I got my wisdom teeth taken out, playing Resident Evil is all I'm allowed to do. However, I'm doing something that is friggin' constructive tomorrow and my parents will not stop me. I hate being idle. So, since all I've done is play RE:O, that has been all I've talked about.

Me: Blah blah blah ZOMBIES blah blah blah.
Mom: Uh-huh.
Me: Yeah, and I've been looking on the walkthrough.
Mom: You are such a puss, lol. :D
Me: Am not.
Mom: This is basically what you did for Siren.
Me: I used GameShark cheats for Siren. I'm not doing that with this game.
Mom: That's because your GameShark is broken.
Me: Yeah I'm a puss! So what?!
Mom: ^__^

I've recently gotten into RE:O fandom. And I think I found a new pairing. Kevin Ryman/David King lol. The game character David King is nothing like my grandpa so it's all good. However, once in a while I'll be like "Grandpa was not a gay plumber lol". XD In the game, Kevin and David don't really like each other. Which brings me to the fact that I seem to really like yaoi pairings where the two guys are enemies/rivals. Examples:
Death Note-Light/L (However, I am also fond of the Matsuda/Papa Yagami pairing. Sadly, this pairing is seriously lacking in fic.)
Star Ocean 3: Till The End Of Time-Luther/Fayt. Because I love Luther and Fayt just screams 'UKE!'
Yu Yu Hakusho-Karasu/Kurama. Hehehehe. ^__^ (I also like Kuwabara/Kurama, mainly for the sheer wtf?)
Avatar: The Last Airbender-Kitara/Zuko. What?! A het pairing?! How'd that get in here?
Harry Potter-Harry/Lucius. I hate Draco/Harry so this makes up for it? ^__^ Amanuensis turned me into a rabid fan.

So yeeeeah. Plus, David and Kevin are the two prettiest guys in the game so yaoi fangirl law states they have to be shipped. :P Just kidding! ~~I wish I was~~

So yeah. I'm off to scare myself by watching the original Halloween.

I Hate My Dentist

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 18:00:46 GMT

So yeah. All four of my molars started coming in a few months ago. And today, I had all four of them taken out.

D: D: D:

They drugged me and did it. When I came out of it, I was buzzed. I hate not being in control of myself. :/ However, I kind-of-sort-of hit on one of the nurses. It goes without fail. Everytime I'm at a doctor's office and they give me soemthing that fucks me up beyond all reason, I hit on a nurse.

Me: You are REALLY pretty. I mean it...and I mean it in a non-gay way. *shifty eyes*
Nurse: Thanks! ^__^
Me: You are soooooooo pretty. *___*
Nurse: Lawl I love my job.

(At least I think she was cool about it. My lip is kind of swollen and it might be from the anisthetic or the fact she punched me in the face. I was too happy to care it she did.)

That's all I remeber from the dentist's office. When we got home, though, I got really scared. See, Dad led me to his and mom's room so she could keep an eye on me while I came down off my high. Well, guess where I stayed the entire time I was having seizures?

Yeah. I freaked out but they managed to calm me down. And then my happy went away. That pissed me off.

Me: Come back, happy! >:/
Mom: Lawl.

And the bottom half of my face makes me look like freaking Jabba the Hut. D: However, I'm still doing shit this weekend. I have plans! I'm going to a little kid's birthday party. (Jon's little brother, Coby. He's turning 10 and nothing short of a zombie attack is going to make me miss that.), going to see The Dark Knight again (fucking awesome movie. I'm going with Judith and Sarah, which makes me happy because I'm always bitching about how Judith never has time for me anymore. :D ), and Chanel's baby shower. (Her little girl is due in October. )

In other news, I watched Death Note Abridged by TeamDattebayo on YouTube. I highly recommend it. ^__^ And I got a call from the 'Vote-John-McCain' committee or whatever.

Guy: If the election was held today. would you vote Republician or Democrat?
Me: -wants to say- SOCIALIST!
-says instead- I'm not old enough to vote. =/
-wants to add- Rub in, yah dickhead.

So yeah. I think I'd vote for Obama. I have nothing against McCain. I think he's a cool, funny guy. Buuuut I think change would be good for this country. :D ~~Fuck you, George W. Bush. My ass could be a better president than you have been.~~

...I love the first amendment. Thank you, forefathers.

*ahem* Dad and I went to the local pawn shop and I found Resident Evil: Outbreak FOR CHEAP! :D :D :D There's a character named David King. That was my grandpa's name. :D

And now I'm going to go shoot some zombie scum to distract me from the Keebler Elves beating the crap out of the inside of my mouth.

Why Death Note Wins At Life.

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 05:58:45 GMT

Yes. I did the title on purpose. XD

Last episode of Death Note aired tonight. I watched it. And it was epic. The very end of the episode didn't follow the manga but it was still...amazing. See, at the beginning of the episode, I was laughing my ass off because Light was being pwned like a n00b. He'd become a real douchebag since he 'kinda-sorta-not-really' killed L. And by kill L I mean manipulate Rem into killing L.

Light made an ass of himself. Near rebuttled his last epic speech. Then Matsuda shot the fuck out of him. (Go Matsuda!^__^) Then Mikami killed himself like a crazy fucker and Light ran away in the chaos.
Here's where I start to really like it:

Ok. Light's running away, shot all to pieces and having flashbacks to the first episode. And he's either laughing or crying. You can't tell. Which is awesome. He's ~~limping~~ walking against a kickass background. Then-because of the blood loss, I assume-17-year old Light walks along same kickass background, reading a book. Like before he picked up the Death Note. And pre-Death Note Light walks right past him and I thought that was the neatest shit ever. Ryuk monolouges and, of course, writes Light's name down. Light collapses on stairs and CUE ENDING CREDITS OF EPIC EPICY EPICNESS. We see Misa on a train in a maid outfit (wtf, I know. Final fanservice, perhaps?) and Light's laid out on the stairs dying of the longest heart attack in Death Note history. Lots of close-ups on his face and he actually looks pretty again. Cut to running around of minor characters who get to have a 'We survived!' party. Then to Misa standing on the edge of a bridge. We never actually get to see her jump off it and I like that. It's like the scene in The Hitcher where Jennifer Jason Leigh get's torn apart by the truck. You don't see it but you know it happened. Anyway, back to Light and he sees L. But L's eyes aren't shown. And then Light's eyes close. And the music is awesome and hardcore and I love it.

EDIT: Thank you, firm_detective! Everyone give a round of appaulse! Misa was on a building, not a bridge. *facepalm* And her outfit was a thematic link to episode 25. See firm_detective's comment below for the full rundown. I can not believe I missed that. I don't deserve to call myself a Misa fangirl anymore. *le emo* (Come on, she's cute as hell! ^__^)

Now. Random notes on the series in general. This will be my last rant on it because if you know me in RL, I've ranted for as long as 15-minutes on dissecting Death Note. ^__^

Death Note could have gone a number of ways. That's what is so great about it.

I don't really think Light is a true sociopath. He cared about his family before he found the Death Note. He started his metamorphosis when he picked up the Death Note. He really wanted to change the world but he let his supressed megalomania shove that ideal to the back burner. He developed a god-complex and I think the main reason for this is the fact that he always got everything he wanted. He was the perfect kid-polite, smart, mature and generally loved and respected. He was never denied anything and thus became spoiled. Hence the god-complex. He's both the protagonist-simply because he is the main character-and the antagonist because he's a serial murderer. I think he's a good character because he makes us question the concept of good and evil. Do the ends justify the means? Can one man change the world? Is murder justifiable in the pursuit of creating a Utopia?

Light was destined to fail from the start because of two well-known cliches. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and The road to hell is paved with good intentions. His Utopia would collapse eventually because it would be a dictatorship based on fear. And no one can live forever. If he had actually achieved his Utopia, what would happen to it when he died?

L was the good guy simply because he was the lesser of two evils. He bent and even broke the law in his quest to win. He even caused Lind L. Tailor's death and justified it by saying he was scheduled to be executed anyway. He's my second favorite character (Matsuda is the first. ^__^) but he's really an asshole when it comes to one-upping Light. However, despite his faults, he is the good guy. And so it sucked when he was murdered by ~~Rem~~ Light. I kind of wish that more had been done with L simply because he was interesting and like Light in so many ways. What would have happened if L had found the note instead of Light? He's a mysterious character and more could have been known about him. However, this would have upset the flow of the story, which is truly regrettable.

Near and Mello's dynamic is something that is truly stunning. They're like L and Light with their rivalry. What I find awesome and yet at the same time tragic is that Mello sacrificed himself (and Matt) to get evidence on Light. In the end, he sacrificed his desire to win in order to beat Light and avenge L. In a sense, Near's victory was also Mello's. Near is a shrewd bastard and I love him. He seems like a carbon copy of L but the nuances in his character definitely show, especially in the last episode.

Matt. Matt's death was gratutious simply because he was in the show for 2.5 seconds. I think he could have been used more. Seriously. He was a tap of enormous potential.

To stray away from seriousness for a moment, (wait...I was serious?!)I would like to comment on the yaoi pairing of Light and L. Honestly? One of the best yaoi pairings out there. I think it could work, albiet in a fucked up sort of way. And come on, Ohba and Obata. You set up a yaoi trap. Fierce competition? Bishouen-y males? Handcuffs? L and Light are The Odd Couple of anime, and you only have yourself to blame. (There are ton of good L/Light fics out there. I'll put up a rec list...eventually.) So, here's to you, L and Light. To you and what could have been.

And finally, Mu. Fear of death dates back to ancient times. Most humans have a pathologial fear of it. Death is the end. Game over. If I had to pick just one thing to love about Death Note, it would be the fact that all humans become Nothingness when they die. It's the final irony. Light worked so hard and yet it all means nothing because he ceases to exist when his heart ceases to beat. And I think that is why death is the ultimate fear of mankind.

Whew. I'm done.Thanks for putting up with that. That was a catharis. And damn, am I feeling it! I'm totally staying up to watch the rerun. How about you?

L'S REAL NAME IS ACTUALLY L. SERIOUSLY. That, my friends, is another awesome example of irony. L LAWLIET. And the last part is pronouced 'low-light' which I find delightfully witty and also ironic.

And so, I leave you with this quote. I think it fits Light pretty well. This is probably because it is late, and I am tired. ^__^
