Sunday, March 17, 2002 - 02:20 p.m. everything i do i do for yooooooou, if you're lookin' for a war, here's world war two.... listening to: "heil myself" - the producers (it's stuck in my head)
Ah, it's here, the day where the Irish party, and the rest of the world pretends to be Irish so they can join in the fun. n___n Think about it, we've got people like Oscar Wilde, Liam Neeson, Kenneth Branagh and Bono from U2, I don't think there is a cooler group of people on the planet. (Plus, dude, green is a primary color...) Just a short list of reasons why the Irish are just that good:
Don't you wish you were Irish too? ^_^ Well, both the roommates came back early... Elke showed up around one am, while Alexis came in at around 5:30am. Fortunately, I was awake for both arrivals, but neither of them slept past noon, and woke me up with their talking. Have to say, I got used to living alone. I liked the quiet and that no one disturbed my routine (what little of it there was). Also, it's nice not to have roommates that talk about you when you can hear them. I've been living with Alexis for almost a year, and Elke for three months, and yet they are still consistantly amazed at my sleeping habits. And not only that, but they tell me every chance they get that they don't understand it. Today, they haven't said anything to me, but they were discussing it between themselves in fairly loud voices outside the bedroom door. I'm guessing they thought I was asleep, but even so, why on earth do you talk at full volume when you know someone is sleeping? I'll get back at them on Tuesday when I get up at seven am... I'll turn on the news or something, I don't know... I have a feeling the two of them really don't pay much attention to me anymore. It's like I'm living with Christina again... (she was my freshman year roomie, who was my absolute opposite, and halfway through the year, we stopped talking to each other completely) It's not quite as bad, but their lives are so similar to each others' while mine is very different, so it's only natural to ignore what is different if what's the same is right in front of you. (Before they left for break, they warned me not to expand my "shrine" all over the apartment. With the exception of my corner, you wouldn't even know I lived in the apartment at first glance; all my anime-related stuff is in the closet I commandeered earlier this year. I've never tried to "expand" it before, so why would I try now when there's only two-and-a-half months left of school? I have a feeling they were simply showing off in front of my sister, but Jesus, is it really a good idea to try and make me look dumb in front of my own family? *sigh*) Speaking of the above song, I feel the need to get some Extreme Showtunes going on, but I don't have anywhere to do it today. Plus, I have to be at work in a few hours (yes, I'm actually going today), so I can't go out and find someplace inappropriate to sing "Heil Myself" and "Springtime for Hitler"... no fair. Saturday, March 16, 2002 - 04:55 p.m. some people just make you want to sigh and shake your head... other people make you want to inflict bodily harm on them... listening to: funnily enough, nothing... and i'm at home... o_O
UGH!!! Religious fanatics make me angry. We have a First Amendment in this country for a reason. Look out, Homer... someone might think your liscense place is offensive... I wonder if someone in New York all ready owns the "atheist" plate... I kind of want it. XD Friday, March 15, 2002 - 05:23 p.m. it was a brute offense to kill so capital an officer listening to: nbc 4 news
Happy Ides of March!! In the waning hours of today, don't go near any capital buildings. ^^ I would worry, but I was assassinated last week. ^^ My oh-so-wonderful monkeys attempted a coup right after Escaflowne... I think the whole 'altering destiny' idea is giving them ideas... >.> This break, I've done about zero in terms of real activity. I love it. ^^ I was going to go to work today, but I slept instead, just like yesterday. It's going to screw me over when classes begin again, but I don't mind really. I was looking at the anime magizine (Anime Invasion) from Wizard comics, and it was giving a review of the X television anime. It says that fans of Dragonball Z would enjoy it. ........ I wonder what they were smoking when they watched the series, I really do. Now, fans of DBZ might enjoy the movie, but the plot may move too fast for them... I do like the idea that there is more than one anime magazine out there, that ensures that Animerica doesn't have a monopoly on the print side of anime information, (so far, I can count three major magazines available: Animerica, Tokyopop, and Anime Invasion, but I'll be damned if you can actually find an issue of Tokyopop in a store...) but Wizard has a long way to go before it produces a quality magazine. Quote of the Day: "Can I get 2.9% financing on my Subaru?" - Me.. ^^ Tuesday, March 12, 2002 - 08:41 p.m. this entry brought to you by the rush to see whose blog is more l337... fil: do you drink? *makes tea w/baileys*
HA!! I am FASTER!!! (posted at 8:41pm, but edited around 11:27pm so it could be all pretty) Monday, March 11, 2002 - 12:53 p.m. ![]() You're Shirou Kamui! This result makes me go: O.o I thought for sure I was going to get Sorata, go figure... Feeling somewhat better, no more fever, but I can't tell if the nausea is from being sick or from not having eaten in about a day and a half... And I see the layout's still down... *sigh* I'll have to work on that. Sunday, March 10, 2002 - 10:37 p.m. cameron: ...i'm dying.
listening to: "irish drinking song" - whose line is it anyway
I get that line in my head every time I'm sick... and boy, do I feel like death is upon me... >< It's been a while since I've been really sick, and I'm glad it doesn't happen all that often. I hope I'm well by tuesday... keep your fingers crossed. Friday, March 8, 2002 - 10:45 a.m. bishounen heterosexuality levels are on the rise, moving up to .03%.... listening to: online radio with jimmy buffet and james taylor... O_o
The above quote was brought to you by the always funny, sometimes just plain weird otakan.com people. I adore that site, I want to be a member of the Party. Their CLAMP parody was hysterical... Which brings me to the actual reason for this entry... just a wondering on my part: What is the ratio of SubaruxKamui fans to FuumaxKamui fans? I mean, it seems pretty evenly divided, which to me, seems very very much like GW yaoi fans vs. het ones. Either you're on one side or the other, and dear god, everyone you know better be on the same side, or they're going to get a sakura branch shoved up somewhere not pretty. This is probably going to sound really hypocritical, since I am one of those somewhat violent 1x2, FxK fangirls, but hell, when has being wrong ever stopped me from talking? I'm not sure I understand fandom anymore, if I ever did. I mean, is a certain couple (of fake people, no less) -really- important enough to get really bent out of shape about? Isn't the writing of the fanfic more important? I would probably be able to see a -gasp- Heero/Relena or SubaruxKamui couple if the story was good. Now, this isn't saying that -any- pairing is a good one, SorataxKamui is wrong, no matter which way you put it, I don't -care- how good the story is. To put them together would mean that you threw out everything you know about Sorata's character -- aka: his latent heterosexuality, his obssessive attention to Arashi, his non-prettiness (in CLAMP, if you're not pretty, you're not gay, end of story), etc. And throwing out canon is usually not a good thing without an earth-shaking good reason. And no, sex is not a good enough reason, dammit. Which brings me to my second point. (Miki: She had a first point?! Yan: *shrug*) Does anyone write fanfic with a STORY anymore?! Every fic I have read/seen in the last few months has had no point other than getting two characters in bed together. There's no real development other than teary-eyed uke melting the hearts of their seme or the seme chasing down the uke until he finally submits. BO-RING, in that it's been done fifty times over. And if I see one more "get together" fic, I'm going to tear my hair out. What ever happened to the "epic" fic? I just think people are getting lazy. Same thing with people who do interior monologue one-shots. LA~ZY. I know, I do it too... but no character interaction = very little character interaction, but it also allows for more angst than is healthy for a character or a reader. Besides, I've learned that with more than one character, it's DOUBLE THE ANGST!! How cool is that?! I'm not sure this little rant had a point. I'm probably just bitter because I can't download X tv 18 and Ali was talking about a GingetsuxKazuhiko fic (ugh...) and I felt bitter. But pointless ranting is what this thing is for, ne? Quote of the day: "Hey, with the legendary Imonoyama power of procrastination, the apocalypse could be put off for, oh, a couple centuries." Hee, K-tan's funny. ^_^ Friday, March 8, 2002 - 09:18 a.m. and now, we begin the ritual dance of joy! listening to: i hope someone knows what i'm listening to, i know i don't....
KAT COMES TODAY!! *runs around happily* And she may come in earlier than originally planned, WAI! I can't wait to see her. ^_^ All hail spring break... I have a week of absolutely nothing school-related to do... I'm so happy... :*D Friday, March 8, 2002 - 12:43 a.m. awwww, it's so cute.... RUN AWAY RUN AWAY!! listening to: nothing
This is an interesting little site, full of pretty music and sounds. So make sure your headphones are turned up to an acceptable hearing level, and enjoy. Then, let me know what you thought of it! ^_^ Tuesday, March 5, 2002 - 09:54 a.m. um gesh dee bork, bork! listening to: "sometimes love just ain't enough" - patti smith & don henley (woo hoo, 80s online radio!!), some crap mariah carey song... XP
Whoever said money can't buy happiness had to be one of those people who had so much of it that they really didn't care about it -- because I am really happy right now. I should have a paycheck today or first thing tomorrow. Finally. I'm going to go shopping as soon as it is deposited, heehee... must buy food and stuff for the mini St. Patty's party. To everyone who gave me virtual hugs yesterday/early today: I love you guys, really I do. ^^ You so nice to me. (But if I see you in person, I'll gladly trade the digital one for an actual if you're willing to make the exchange ^-~) Awright! Back on track! Have AUAS/AUFS showing tomorrow night, then (maybe) D&B on Thursday, and AUAS on Friday! w00t! Days until I see Kat: 3 (w00tw00t!!) Monday, March 4, 2002 - 04:20 p.m. if chewing gum is chewed, the chewer is pursued, we stand 'em up against the wall and POP goes the weasel... listening to: nothing
Wanted: One hug from good friend or family member. Actually, if I can get more than one, it would be nice. A shoulder to cry on is an added bonus. (In case you're wondering why I need this, well, I still haven't been paid. Maybe tomorrow, maybe not until the 15th. I have $13 and Kat is coming this weekend. I had to ask my mother for money. I have a paper due tomorrow and a midterm Wednesday. I can't pay my credit card bill. I have no food. My stress level is through the roof. I keep getting migranes. I can deal with all of this stuff, but I would really like a hug to help it along.) In other news, updated patchwork and modified to fit your screen. we have four pages of x/tb wallpapers. yay. Sunday, March 3, 2002 - 09:44 p.m. does it really matter? listening to: "good intentions" - toad the wet sprocket (it's in my head because i just dubbed it a subaru song)
Dear underaged drinkers of the world: Do you really think you are all that special because you're drinking when you shouldn't be? Do you think it makes you any "cooler" in my eyes to tell me that you're sipping a vodka and cranberry or drinking hard cider when, ooooooh, you have twenty-eight days until your twenty-first birthday? Do you really think I care? Guess what, I don't. I don't want to hear about it either. Because when you tell me, I just think you're immature and unbelieveably juvinille. And guess what, the rest of the country does it, so you are SO completely not special because you're hiding in your bedroom with your stash and drinking. Just thought you'd like to know so you can shut up... Sunday, March 3, 2002 - 07:50 p.m. i'll never look at tupperware the same way again... listening to: something is playing on the computer across the room
I'm turning into my mother. This is not a bad thing, she's a great lady, but it was just so funny when I realized it. I'm looking forward to this cooking experiment like you wouldn't believe. (I will be Iron Chef Ireland!!!!! >D) And I told Kat I'd make a lot so that she could take some home with her when she leaves..... This is what my mother does every time we are home for break. She makes food and sends it back with us. Hee hee... it was funny. I get to co~ok! I get to co~ok! I get to co~ok! I get to co~ok! I get to co~ok! I get to co~ok! Hee. ^^ Days until I see Kat: 6 Saturday, March 2, 2002 - 09:57 p.m. augh.... listening to: "peony pink" - clamp campus detectives, "anata dake no wonderland" - clamp in wonderland
The longer I live with my roommates, the more I am convinced that they live on another planet. They are the weirdest people and they get hyperactive over some of the stupidest things. Also, more and more, I find myself fading into the background, and avoiding them if possible. It's Elke in particular -- I can't stand to be around her, and I don't really like the way Alexis acts when she's around Elke. And I am also reminded of why I don't tend to get along with people who are younger than I am. Elke and Alexis are both nineteen, and they're both smarter than the average teenager, but they act as if they are still in high school. Or maybe it's just me. I am not one of those people who cares a lot about clothing, guys, or how I look when I'm at home. The two of them freak out if someone drops by unexpected and they aren't wearing at least three inches of makeup and look like they're ready to go out. I find it absolutely ridiculous they amount of time they spend worrying about how they look. If someone drops by at nine p.m. on a weekday and I'm in a pair of sweatpants and a sweatshirt and they don't think I look dashing, then it's their problem and they can deal with it. But what really bothers me lately is their complete ignorance at my financial situation. Alexis knows I have no money; it's the one and only thing I complain about. However, they buy things and then expect me to pay for some of it. Just today, less than twenty-four hours after I had told Alexis about my paycheck problem, she and Elke went to the store and bought their groceries and toilet paper. They bought a bulk pack of fancy stuff and slapped me with the bill for it. Granted, it's only eight dollars, but considering how I have no money, eight dollars is a little much for me to handle right now. If I had been the one to go out and actually buy the paper, I would have bought four or five rolls of the cheap, generic store brand that's thirty cents a piece. I don't know, I just think it's rude of them to know I'm broke, buy things and expect me to pay for them. And they didn't even tell me they were doing it, either. They just did it and then said "you owe us eight dollars." (Personally, I think Alexis should have to buy the toliet paper, considering she's in the bathroom every five minutes. There are days when I don't see the inside of the bathroom unless I'm there to take a shower.) How do they know I don't have things that my money has to go to instead? How do they know I will have any money to give them even after I get my paycheck? *sigh* I can't wait to get back to the dorms, I really can't. I'll be giving up space and autonomy, but on the other hand, I'll be able to stop having to worry about anyone but myself when I buy things. I won't have roommates suddenly popping up asking me for money for purchases I didn't even know they were making. And the sooner I get out of here, the sooner I won't have to listen to them counsel each other on their relationships. They both have dysfunctional friendships and relationships, and yet somehow, they think they're qualified to give each other advice.... It would be funny if they both weren't so dependant on that advice... so, it's not funny, it's annoying. When they're talking to each other, I roll my eyes a lot... And the next time Elke calls me a freak, I'm going to hurt her. I'm serious. It's not the words that bother me -- I call myself a freak and so do my friends. Problem here is, Elke means it, and I don't have the patience to ignore it. Not when I have to live with her. Saturday, March 2, 2002 - 05:30 p.m.
I was kind of hoping for the Swedish Chef, but this makes me happy. ^_^ Saturday, March 2, 2002 - 04:20 p.m. it sucks waking up feeling hung over when you didn't get drunk the night before... listening to: classical online radio, and it's so quiet i can barely hear it
I wonder if I'm getting sick. I've been subjected to two migrane headaches in about a week, which, even for me, is really odd. Fortunately, they were minor ones. One got cured by aspirin and food, and the other was cured by aspirin, food, and sleep. Neither knocked me out for three or four days, as they are usually wont to do. I think it has to do with my sleeping pattern, especially the one last night. Running on one hour of sleep, then going to anime and staring at a large screen for five hours (plus, Boogiepop Phantom has some really odd visual effects -- a lot of fuzzy edges and bright lighting) probably didn't help me much. I need to have some kind of regular sleep schedule, even if it's only five hours or so per night. It's better than one. But in other news, AU has given me yet another reason for it to be on my "suck my wang" list. Specifically, my supervisor. I have been broke for over a week and a half. So yesterday was payday, and I was so happy that I would finally have money. I am running low on food (read: don't have any), and so Thursday night I made up this shopping list, happily anticipating my return to the funded world. I called my bank yesterday morning and the money's not in my account. Fine, I say, it's probably just a mix up with my direct deposit and they probably have an actual check for me. I go to pick up my paycheck and found out that my supervisor DID NOT GIVE THEM MY HOURS FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS. In effect, no one knew I had worked. The lady in payroll was very nice, she apologized a lot and will try to get me something by Monday. But still, I am so goddamned sick of having money problems. I am so sick of it that I could cry. Part of it is my own fault, and I know it, but for fuck's sake, if I'm working, you would think I could expect a paycheck on a regular basis. I wish I hadn't stopped martial arts, I have the biggest urge to hit something until either I bleed or it breaks. Positive thing (look, I can do it!): I get to see my sister on Friday!! ^o^/ She's coming to visit for a whole long time, and I'm so excited. ^_^ I want to take her to do a bunch of stuff: D&B, AUAS, the Holocaust Museum, and just some quality chill time between her and me. I'm also going to attempt to make corned beef and cabbage for St. Patrick's Day while she's here (we must celebrate our Irish heritage. GO IRELAND!), complete with a bit of Guinness or something similar, so wish me luck. An hour and a half left of work.... I'm hungry.... ;_; Days until I see Kat: 7 Friday, March 1, 2002 - 09:35 a.m. oh what the hell, why not........ listening to: printer's stopped whirring ;_;
Since I'm bored and don't want to do my Japanese homework, I'll do this little thing that everyone else seems to be doing. I'm feeling a little lemming-ish today. Better keep me away from cliffs and large bodies of water. As seen on the Technomancy blog: Things That Can Suck My Wang
Smokers
Friday, March 1, 2002 - 08:37 a.m. oy vey...... something seems to be getting out of hand listening to: the printer whirring
Why does this make me nervous? Does anyone else wonder why they're suddenly announcing this now? Why do I see this and wonder if the president is just trying to antagonize people? Friday, March 1, 2002 - 05:43 a.m. dskl;jglhkgjhasfskjk it TOOK HER LONG ENOUGH!! listening to: "disco bus" and "funky tonight" - pump it up
It's almost here!! My god, it almost makes me forgive Melanie Rawn for taking so goddamned long. For christ's sake, it took her almost FOUR YEARS to finish this series!! Now I have to go back and read Ruins of Ambrai and Mageborn Traitor again... combined total of over 1600 pages... Well, it isn't as if I planned on doing anything interesting for the rest of this year... ~~;; Wednesday, February 27, 2002 - 04:58 p.m. i don't like -this- game of "let's pretend".... listening to: someone's computer is beeping at them
Sigh. I have to go home for Easter break. I don't want to. It has nothing to do with my family, I want to see them and Nate and my friends, but for some reason, I really don't want to go home. It might be the circumstances around me getting there, which involves me skipping class and using the religious holiday to justify it. Problem here: I am not Catholic. I'm not even Christian, and I'm not Jewish. There is no reason for me to plead religious immunity in order to get out of class. Which means, I have to pretend to be Catholic in order to get out with an excused absence. I don't like that. I don't feel comfortable doing it. To add to this pretense, I have to go to church Easter Sunday with my mother. Another thing I don't want to do, but will do in order to make her happy. But the problem here is, I don't pray, kneel, sing, respond, or go to communion when I attend Mass with her; it's a waste of my time and "God's" time to listen to someone who doesn't give a damn about "him". I don't do anything while at Mass. I stand up, sit down, stand up, sit down, stand up, shake hands, sit down while people go to communion, stand up and leave. That is what I do. And people notice, and that makes me MORE uncomfortable. Why don't I just pretend and go through the motions? Because I don't want the people there to think I'm part of their group. I don't want to pretend to be part of a religion that I find personally abhorrent. It doesn't suit me. Other people can be Catholic, that's their perogative, and I don't think worse of them in any way. But it is not who I am. I'm not Catholic, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Shinto, Hindu, Satanic, Wiccan or anything else. I'm not even spiritual. But I can't tell Mom any of this because she'll be upset. So, in about two weeks, I'll be in Rochester (probably bored) and going to church on that Sunday. Why yes, I am a doormat, pleased to meet you. Tuesday, February 26, 2002 - 09:30 a.m. um de hur de hur de hur..... listening to: online celtic radio (why yes, i'm at work again)
Soooooo tired..... u.u I have got to start regulating my sleep schedule. And doing my homework... my Japanese is staring at me and saying DO ME, but my brain is saying HA HA TOO TIRED..... and my brain is also saying that I can further my Japanese by watching the 16th and 17th episodes of X TV that I'm currently downloading... I need a CD to burn them to~o~... Whee, plenty of things going on, but I'm too tired to write about them in any great detail. A lot of people moving around this week and next. Kat's visiting next week, Anna's going to Japan soon... :D Will be living on campus next year (^o^/)... Alexis is getting an apartment with Elke and I just can't live like that. I really can't live with Elke after this semester... plus I'm getting tired of the commute. I could have been to work on time today if I lived in the dorms. Wait, no. I got up at 8:10am when I was supposed to get into work at 8am..... Even the dorms wouldn't have saved me. I must have been on crack when I picked this schedule... Sometimes I wonder if I really am crazy, or just like hurting myself.. ~~;; Now I'm off to stare at the X TV zip file and wonder why the mac is trying to open it in Photoshop... O_o Tuesday, February 26, 2002 - 05:35 a.m. love test my ass!! listening to: "for fruits basket" - fruits basket
Homer, your little "love prediction test" has made me know two things. One, you're still cruel. Two, that I should never lie on one of those damn tests ever again!! >E!!!!!!!

The best part about roleplaying: those rare moments in the storytelling where I actually feel a strong emotion in reaction to the game. Tonight (or early this morning, take your pick), Lins and I rp-ed some of our CLAMP characters (the voices who currently hold us hostage: Kamui and Fuuma, Sorata and Arashi) and at two different points in the story, I felt like crying because our thread has become really sad. Had a similar moment with Ohime-sama too, with the Kamui and Subaru roleplay. To me, that means we're doing a damn good job. And that makes me happy. ^^ And I really want a beer for some reason. At 5:40 in the morning, no less. And not for the alcohol. God help me, I've developed a liking for the taste of beer. I think there's something wrong with me. Wait, I'm the same person who developed an addiction to the taste of Thera-flu a few weeks ago. There is definitely something wrong with me. (Did you know that if you put 20 or so cinnamon tic-tacs in a glass of water, you get spicy water? Well now you do. ^^) Friday, February 22, 2002 - 09:59 a.m. i'm free, i'm free!!! listening to: nothing..
It's OVER!! My auctions are done, and now I not only will have some monies soon, I can finally be rid of that doujinshi, my bane, the thorn in my side. Ah, the sweet smell of success... I also managed to make a killing on it. Over 150% profit... I love taking advantage of people's dirty minds. (I can do it, because I'm sure it's been done to me too... XD) The VGAi manga went for a good price too. That makes me happy. Homer, you're cruel. I know I've told you that already, but I just wanted to make sure anyone who reads this knows it as well. ^-~ Friday, February 22, 2002 - 03:11 a.m. listen up everybody, this is my boom stick!!! listening to: "i will accept you," "beethoven virus" and "funky tonight" - pump it up
I have some of the coolest friends in the world. I feel about 200% better than I did earlier today. Went to D&B tonight and got my dance on, man am I tired. Did some challenging things tonight, and I really had fun. Then Homer and I were going to crash an AU event to get free food, but it was all you can eat finger food. Pretty lame, although it is AU we're talking about. So we went to a diner instead, that was fun. We ended up going with Will, Raulie, Jason, Nina, Teck and someone's little sister (I forget names... ~~;;)... Everyone found out what happens when people poke me. I am very ticklish and when I get poked, I jump. They laughed their asses off at me... But it was all right, I think I laughed the hardest. ^_^ And the coolest part about the evening was getting the replacement for my lost Kaichou fan. I had a pretty little sandalwood fan from Chinatown that I took to meetings (whipped it open and did the OHOHOHOHOHO laugh >D) and it got lost two weeks ago. I looked for a replacement at the con, but couldn't find one. And tonight, Will and Raulie presented me with the replacement: a nightstick. I have a BEAT STICK!! *cackles* I have such wonderful monkeys. *sniffle* Also, Ohime-sama gave me the prettiest Kamui fanart tonight too!! I just keep getting presents from people... I'm starting to feel a little guilty... ~_~;; Thursday, February 21, 2002 - 03:52 p.m. well shit... listening to: computer lab sounds
Together, Citibank and Streamload.com have managed to kill the happiness I had yesterday because of my book. Now, I don't even want to think about it. Thanks so much, you mother fuckers. Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 04:16 p.m. i'm so happy i could fly... listening to: nothing
I got my book back from my professor. She liked it!!
