| Basically my thoughts on Avatar were kind of like this: I want to punch Jake Sully in the face, then use him to beat Colonel whatshisface. And this pretty much sums it up also. (ETA: Spoilers?) I mean, it was pretty and the visual effects were very interesting, but the story makes me want to flip a table, and that feeling only gets worse every time I think about it again.

| Today I:
- thought I lost my phone
- got my Christmas present from Teruya ♥
- got my essay and outside reading project back for English Honors (B+ for essay, A for ORP)
- nearly fell asleep in Algebra 2
- actually worked on an outline for Bio Honors
And in my free time, I jotted down notes for apps for Rhyme, Mukuro, Sharon, and Ayanami.
RP to-do list:
- tag Julius
- finish the Ada and Spain thread (SORRY CAL ;A;)
- write Ada's nightmare
- post for Boris (a dreeaaaam~ content will either be Vincent stuck in a ditch or Gowland scolding Boris for bleeding on the floor)
- post for Kyouya
- Luceti apps (Ayanami & Sharon)
- Somarium apps (Rhyme & Mukuro)
All my homework was done at school, so I'll focus on apps today. Maybe some video games to play on the side.
Games to play (* = new game):
- Star Ocean 4*
- Ar Tonelico 2*
- Modern Warfare 2
- Devil Survivor
... so. I like lists. | |

| Um, this doesn't mean anything right? >_> | |
|
| So when I was at Kelly's house earlier, I went through the stack of CDs because I knew I had burned a copy of my old Final Fantasy AMVs I made like. What. 10 years ago?! ROTFLMAO. Whenever the hell Final Fantasy X came out XD
Well I found like four possible CDs and went through three of them tonight (the fourth is having issues because Windows Media Player failed when closing. ...It automatically loaded okay I was too lazy to actually manually open these things in my classic WMP.) and OMFG THE MEMORIES.
ONE OF THEM HAD LIKE. MY OLD COLLECTION OF SAILOR MOON IMAGES I SAVED BACK IN THE DAY. ROTFLMAO I WAS JUST LIKE "WOW. WOW." XDDDDD
And then I watched half of my AMVs. God. The memories. I made like 10, with my final one being like 12 minutes long XDD God they were just. Wow. Definitely nothing compared to what I've recently made. But still. Wow. XDD That's all I can think of ROTFLMAO.
And yes, one of them was done to Celine Dion's "It's All Coming Back to Me", hence the entry title. I also randomly blurted part of the lyrics out in IRC chat but that's different 8Da; I thought it fitting anyway. It was like extreme blast from the past man and as I watched them I would remember everything I was doing during that time period.
It's just...wow. It was crazy ROTFLMAO.
Edit: Oh yeah, it's official. I'm actually "back" on MSN >_> By back I'm not hiding under "offline" status anymore and am "online" xD So if any on my f-list don't use AIM or don't head to the IRC chat, you can reach me on MSN :O My thingie is laenavesse@hotmail.com o/ Feel free to hit me up for anything ^^ | |

| So ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) spiralstarfall and I want to co-write something, but I've never co-written anything before. I want to learn about techniques and methods for co-writing, but I'm having a hard time finding resources. Any recommendations? | |
|
| Timetable, and vague dates of assessment. Just so I know. ( Read more... )Good news: should be able to hit up either of the TU concerts this year (though I may have to spring for a flight to Sydney if I decide to go,) as well as some other cool stuff later in the semester! Bad news: fuck I am sick of school! I might take a year off in 2011, or spread Hons out over 2 years, or something. ANYTHING. I am getting really burnt out. | |
|
| The Used are gonna be in Brisbane in March. Anyone interested in coming? xD (I realise most of the Australians on my F-list are over on Facebook now, but posting here anyway.) Seriously, I'm going to be driving up from Sydney a couple days before, so anyone who doesn't mind spending a day or two in a small car with me can totally come up then, if they wanna/can't make the Sydney show.
... alternatively I could rearrange that trip and go to the Sydney show myself. Not sure yet. Just need to buy tickets soon, is all, and sort shit out.
Screening comments just in case. | |

| Sometimes I have to fight the urge to just
walk right up to people and say: Listen. I talk
to animals and people in my head, it doesn’t mean
I’m crazy, it’s just that I have an inner life; one
of them is a birdish dinosaur that could look
into your bedroom window on the second floor,
red-streaked with long cruel killing claws,
one on each foot, and teeth like knives to slash,
but most of the time she just somehow manages
to cram her body tail and all into the passenger
seat of my small car so she can watch the world pass,
talking to me in a language I don’t understand, and why
this prehistoric creature living within me would not speak
my tongue I don’t quite get but that’s the way of it, and one
is not quite a girl, not quite a boy but comfortably
in between, with hair short and breasts bound and hips
curving softly under men’s shirts, hands
in her pockets, lips next to my ear, and then
there’s the hyena, bigger then they are for real,
heavy-shouldered and big enough almost
to pull a cart if she would stoop to that, spotted
as thickly as my freckles lie in summer, legs
long and black, a jaw unhinging until it looks as if
she could swallow up the world if the mood
should take her, listen. It isn’t that I’m mad, they’re just
parts of me that sometimes need to taste the air. | |

| Trouble
Matthew Dickman
Marilyn Monroe took all her sleeping pills
to bed when she was thirty-six, and Marlon Brando’s daughter
hung in the Tahitian bedroom
of her mother’s house,
while Stanley Adams shot himself in the head. Sometimes
you can look at the clouds or the trees
and they look nothing like clouds or trees or the sky or the ground.
The performance artist Kathy Change
set herself on fire while Bing Crosby’s sons shot themselves
out of the music industry forever.
I sometimes wonder about the inner lives of polar bears. The French
philosopher Gilles Deleuze jumped
from an apartment window into the world
and then out of it. Peg Entwistle, an actress with no lead
roles, leaped off the “H” in the HOLLYWOOD sign
when everything looked black and white
and David O. Selznick was king, circa 1932. Ernest Hemingway
put a shotgun to his head in Ketchum, Idaho
while his granddaughter, a model and actress, climbed the family tree
and overdosed on phenobarbital. My brother opened
thirteen fentanyl patches and stuck them on his body
until it wasn’t his body anymore. I like
the way geese sound above the river. I like
the little soaps you find in hotel bathrooms because they’re beautiful.
Sarah Kane hanged herself, Harold Pinter
brought her roses when she was still alive,
and Louis Lingg, the German anarchist, lit a cap of dynamite
in his own mouth
though it took six hours for him
to die, 1887. Ludwig II of Bavaria drowned
and so did Hart Crane, John Berryman, and Virginia Woolf. If you are
travelling, you should always bring a book to read, especially
on a train. Andrew Martinez, the nude activist, died
in prison, naked, a bag
around his head, while in 1815 the Polish aristocrat and writer
Jan Potocki shot himself with a silver bullet.
Sara Teasdale swallowed a bottle of blues
after drawing a hot bath,
in which dozens of Roman senators opened their veins beneath the water.
Larry Walters became famous
for flying in a Sears patio chair and forty-five helium-filled
weather balloons. He reached an altitude of 16,000 feet
and then he landed. He was a man who flew.
He shot himself in the heart. In the morning I get out of bed, I brush
my teeth, I wash my face, I get dressed in the clothes I like best.
I want to be good to myself.
The Quiet World
Jeffrey McDaniel
In an effort to get people to look
into each other’s eyes more,
the government has decided to allot
each person exactly one hundred
and sixty-seven words, per day.
When the phone rings, I put it
to my ear without saying hello.
In the restaurant I point
at chicken noodle soup. I am
adjusting well to the new way.
Late at night, I call my long
distance lover and proudly say
I only used fifty-nine today.
I saved the rest for you.
When she doesn’t respond, I know
she’s used up all her words
so I slowly whisper I love you,
thirty-two and a third times.
After that, we just sit on the line
and listen to each other breathe.
and because you can't go wrong with a classic
Dulce Et Decorum Est
Wilfred Owen
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of disappointed shells that dropped behind.
Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!-- An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And floundering like a man in fire or lime.--
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,--
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori. | |

Do any of you guys live in Philadelphia?

| I. Am so behind with Christmas Gifts and everything else ever. I haven't even posted the third chapter to my fanfic yet and it's been weeks and I'm falling back into my writing rut, what is this. I haven't written anything over vacation, even though I promised myself I would. ... I feel like I just majorly let myself down like whoah.
In other news, almost done with Devil Survivor. Day Seven of Naoya's Route and I'm level grinding. Once I finish this game, I'm taking a break from gaming and going back to being a nerd and reading a lot. I still need to finish the last half of City of Glass, don't I? Whoops |D I also keep typoing done with down. I think I have an issue.
Ahhh. School tomorrow. I hate that my school got out last and we're going back first. And we'll still graduate last and we always go back to school first. I HATE THIS SO MUCH >| I don't even know if I was supposed to read or not for Ap English, oh well. I don't really care anymore. You hit a certain point when you just stop caring when you've been accepted into college. I'm flirting with that point.
Maybe I'll get off my lazy backside and write some tonight....

| Derp derp derp meeooowww? so... Christmas presents. Right. I'm sorry guys, I've been in and out of the house lately, and by the time I'm home, I don't feel particularly inclined to color or crop anything. (Which is a problem for me too since sob, I need Ayanami icons. Badly.) Forgive me? It'll take a bit longer, but I promise I'll get them to you. ♥ ( ! possible RP burnout )( ! +C: Sword and Cornett )School in two days. Gaaahhhhhh. This is another pointless, rambling post. ( edit! angst angst angst ) | |
|
| It is really quite disturbing to realise that you don't actually have a personality when you aren't around other people. | |
|
| Well I've been back from house sitting for my bro and pretty much just. Made new icons for Ace >_>a; I enjoy coloring ;_; In other news, I watched Avatar 3D the other day with Clark. I actually...didn't notice the 3D >_> They didn't do any of the 3D gag sort of things. You know how things really do look like they're coming out of the screen? It was more like...I don't know. More like one of those hologram cards?! I just seriously didn't really notice XD But anyway, it was a good movie but I think I liked Sherlock Holmes better. Visually the movie was fantastic, but I'm kinna eeeh on the plot/storyline. I mean it was good but..I don't know. If I had to choose, I'd see Sherlock Holmes again instead of Avatar. My brother also got another dachshund puppy 8| He and his wife already have two small dogs (a dachshund and a yorkie) and they're thinking about having a kid sometime this year. I was like "EDWIN. YOU DON'T NEED ANOTHER DOG." And it's a female one no less. She's going to be spayed, but the guys aren't neutered and they're already having...issues. /coughs. Seriously, I worry for the poor thing :\ I haven't seen it yet, but I think I'll be back up there at the end of this month to house sit again. I THINK I WILL TRY AND BOND WITH HER. And then watch the other two get insanely jealous and have to share my love 8|a; I love them but they're really...yippy and jump around all over the place /sigh. Oh, I tried to take pictures but uh. THEY KEPT MOVING /sob. They have these cute little sweaters on, too xD And now, that meme that's going around-- HONESTY MEME | |
|
| I'm so moody right now, as;dkfljsdf. I don't... even have reasoning behind it? My moodswings have always been ridiculous. One moment I'm crying then five minutes later I'm jumping around asking for high-fives. Maybe I should get around to seeing that therapist like Mom suggested. I think this recent stuff is just temporary though. Probably just me reacting to the sudden countdown of days left before school. Derp derp derp, ignore meeee~ and since everyone's doing it.... HONESTY MEME On an RP note, I'm considering a slowatus starting Monday. School's starting on Tuesday and I need to, y'know, remember how to work. I'll have plenty to do RP-wise, at least with Boris and Kyouya, but I've always been meaning to get Gareki more involved. ... hm. I'll figure something out. As for Discedo... ah... It may sound like a weird way to do things, but I think apping a more active character could jumpstart my activity. Sharon and Jeanne aren't types to butt into matters that don't concern them, but I need a more sociable, high-energy character. ... sob, it's bad that all I can think of is Ryohei. Maybe? I'll ponder it for after my hiatus. And on another very random note, I'm more prone to fangirling lately. I don't... really get it. I think it's because I returned to the KHR fandom and I've always been a fan of Mukuro? wow, this entry is pointless. | |

| Ganked from dana ♥ Give me a character and I will give you my: + OTP for them. + Runner-up pairing. + Honorable mention(s). + Crack pairing(s). + Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't. ♰ why I decided to play this character ♰ my favorite scene or bit of interaction concerning this character to date ♰ my favorite original aspect about this character (world-building for ocs or head-canon for fics) ♰ the last thing they did "off screen" ♰ what their last words would be if they died tomorrow ♰ what the next thing I'm doing for them is (narrative, post, shelving, whatever) ...Heads up, guys. I tend to ship very random things |D | |

| So apparently starting off the New Year with two memes ganked from everyone ever is the way to go. ( Memes sob )On a completely unrelated note, I had a game of Scrabble with a friend that I hadn't seen for ages last night -- and somehow, the first word he put down upon the board was 'Rat'. And halfway through the game, I realized that with the letters that had been in my possession, I could've made 'Elliot'. ... someone up there is trying to tell me something, I swear. :|;;; Aaaah, is it really the new year already? Time passes so quickly. .__.;; I'LL GET YOU THOSE CROPS TODAY, SHIA-HAN. BY HOOK OR BY CROOK- And Aeris-sama -- if you were a country, which one would you be? |Daaa Oh, and everyone I've friended from the Somarium friending meme -- welcome to my journal! Except I rarely post in it, and I should check it more often then I really do. :/;;; But, er, I'll definitely try my best with the whole commenting thing. Just. I really fail at this whole 'getting out and meeting new people' thing, so. xDDD AND RINMEI -- I'VE HAD YOU ON MY FLIST FOR A WHILE NOW AND I HAVEN'T TALKED TO YOU YET WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN- ;A; ... Clearly, I need to rectify this. :/;;; | |
