so LJ is finally on fire and thus I return here. Not that I've been active on LJ (or that I expect to be active here tbh), but I like the idea of keeping my old baby self around for a bit longer. If somehow you've found (and remember) me, you can reach out but I can't promise I'll respond. I hope everyone is doing well <3

There are about 50 things I want to talk about on here right now, but I need to go to bed. So for now, here~

aaaaand

We all know each other on LJ. Some better than others. Sometimes, posts don't say everything about us. Sometimes we wonder if it would be rude to ask a personal question, so we don't. Is there anything about me you want to ask? This is your chance to ask me anything about me/my life. You can be as personal as you like, but I reserve the right to not answer a question; if that is the case, you can ask another question.

Ask away~

.... does anyone else play on vdex?

10 DAYS
Until I'm back at USF. 8) So excite.

What have I been doing lately? To be blunt, not much of anything. Haha, I got my hair trimmed today? Whoo~

The most exciting thing is Emily, my bff who cosplayed my Lugia, and I are trying to pick our next cosplays. If any of you are familiar with the Vocaloid series, then you know what a vast selection there is for us to choose from. Nothing has really hit either of us yet and neither of us want to push something on the other so it's slow going so far. But we have a full year, so it's okay. :3

Does anyone else follow the manga MARS by Fuyumi Soryo?

Well I'm watching the Taiwanese drama after having read up to volume 6 a few years ago and d'awww so cute. It's a shoujo thing full of drama and emos and some creepsters but overall Rei (named Chen Ling in the drama) rides around on his motorcycle and is attractive and boyish while Kira (Han Qi Luo) draws and is sweet and maybe a little moe.

I'm doing all this while keeping up a constant stream of color commentary on i_amjackscolon's fb page. I'm up to probably 30 comments now bwahahaha.

Also -> saw Eclipse last night with the same girl and so many lulz were had, we actually started writing them down. She said she'd type them up so whee, maybe I'll post them under a cut.

I'm just starting a nuzlocke challenge on my old Pokémon Sapphire*** cartridge, and it's kind of exciting! :D If you don't know what a nuzlocke challenge is, it was popularized by this comic and is just a set of rules one can follow in a pokémon game for fun/lots of sadness. Here's the rules that I'm following, which are pretty basic:

1. If your pokémon faints, count it as dead not just fainted. :C (usually the rules say to release it immediately but I'm going to have a special box in my pc called "memories" bawww)
2. All pokémon caught must be nicknamed. (usually after a theme, the random theme I chose is "characters from tv shows that my nephew watches". wtf idk, this might have to broaden if I run out of names)
3. You can only catch the first pokémon that you meet in a route. If it faints or runs away, tough luck. If it's a repeat you have the choice to catch the next one. (I'm still pre-pokéball get stage so this is what I'm excited for)
4. No healing in battle. (I'm going to try to aim for the more difficult rule of no healing except for pokécenters but I'll probably break)
[I think I got them all]

Like I stated above, my Treecko Sid* and I are just starting out. We're currently level grinding so we can successfully beat Brendan. I chose a Treecko randomly through two rounds of eenie meenie miney moe, with Mudkip being knocked out in the first round. He's pretty awesome so far and his randomly chosen naughty (+attack/-special defense) nature fits in with my wish for Sceptile to be Grass/Dark (honestly, the only one to not get a second type wtf). Sadly, I'm so used to Gen IV's division of attacks into physical/special regardless of type that I forgot Grass used to be 100% special. Shoot, I was hoping he'd own with Razor Leaf/etc.

Anyway, expect updates I guess? Short ones anyway, hopefully not too many memorials ;A;

IN OTHER NEWS -> Soul Silver! My Eevee, Teo, which I transferred over from my Eevee breeding ring gone crazy Platinum game (60+ eevees bred goddam) is fully EV-trained now and level grinding up in order to beat the E4's ass. Him and my Dragonair, Madeleine**, are double teaming everything because I need her to level up one more time before my 9 rare candies come into play and evolve her. C:


*'Sid' is taken from Sid the Science Kid which is a decent show on PBS
**Somehow most of my team on SS ended up with psuedo-French names, huh.
***Even though I love me some Absol, and various other Pokémon of Gen III heritage, I never have had a savefile that I loved enough to stick with as I have with my 5y/o+ FireRed cartridge (ILU GUYS, KEEP KICKING BUTT)

After being spoiled by my sister's DVR, I am addicted to recording things simply because I can watch them later and skip through the commericals hahaha.

Now if only life had a fastforward button.

I know this is not a novel wish but arrrrrrrrrgh why can't I go back to school now while I have all this energy and ambition? I'm scared I'm going to lose it only to trip and stumble through another set of semesters. :C

Greek gods are dicks. 8|

Specifically in relation to Medusa, but applies everywhere.

Also -> History Channel's "Clash of the Gods" really likes facepaint.

This just in: I call shenanigans on Danae's pregnancy!

I tried to make an lj post but all I can up with was

if my brain were a pokemon, it would be



C:


I need to get off my butt and do stuff though. I will start by making a salad.

» The shower here at my house is SO BAD re: water pressure. I can pee faster!! You know how if you take your shower head off, usually it is all..
( man I love this picture )

Well, I have to take the shower head off just so the shampoo will wash out and even then it's work. :| :| :| I am considering having a mini-vacation at Drew's house JUST to take showers. or maybe cutting my hair like I've been considering hmmm

Since my mom watches Avatar:TLA randomly, I HAS AVATAR THOUGHTS. And since it's late at night, I am going ask for answers/thoughts if you would be so kind~

( I would really like to get Zuko/Mai but.. [morphs into a paragraph of ships] )

And, how does Zuko gain control of Fire Nation so easily? A complete 180 of politics, culture, population shaping... I just don't understand. Yes, it's a "kids" show but ATLA has tackled other difficult subjects. :\

IN OTHER NEWS - Doctor Who is awesome *___*
