08:11 pm - Something of an oral fixation? Fell asleep watching TV and woke up from a split second dream where I fell asleep wearing a retainer that was clearly molded for someone else's mouth and woke up with my jaw horribly disfigured. I've also had recurring dreams along the lines of my teeth falling off or my gums melting so all my teeth fall off since like forever. I think I have some weird dental paranoia or something. O.o;; Current Mood: weird Tags: dream "interpretations"

04:15 pm - This entry title is so cute and witty, yes! Dad's finally back from the Philippines. Two months is a long time to go without seeing family. Sis and I managed all right on our own pretending to be being adults, but it's nice to have Dad around again. He's still on Filipino time, though, hee. I made tinola for us to "celebrate," but it didn't taste as good as it did last time. Lol, fail. Been kind of watching more anime recently. Because that's totally productive. Yeah. Blah, hardly have anything to update this doohicky with anymore. So whatever, have overdue memes that were cool last month.

02:44 am - It's gonna be a Desperate Struggle waiting for the sequel Yeah. Cheesy subject title is cheesy. Deal. But HOLY CRAP NEW NO MORE HEROES 2 SCANS. Unf unf unf UNF. Travis wielding two Beam Katanas and sporting unnecessary belt loops wrapping around his thigh YES PLZ. I can't form coherent thoughts because alksdjfalsdfoaf too excited and like I NEED THIS GAME NOW. Dying to know what happened with Henry, though. And if Shinobu's back in the sequel because I LOVE HER AND SHE AND TRAVIS NEED TO HAVE THEIR EPIC LOVE REMATCH. And cute nerdy recorder girl is adorable and I want to believe her recorder turns into a double-sided Beam Katana and that she is no threat to my dorky lame, barely past statutory, why-am-I-even-shipping-in-this-game Travinobu love because she and Travis are looking mighty cute and cozy sitting back to back. Sylvia's jacket tails and skirt are super tiny and the new assassin Nathan Copeland looks like a kick and NO BISHOP DON'T DIE YOU'RE HIS ONLY FRIEND and wow Desperate Struggle is actually looking SRS BSNS compared to NMH and I'm so lksdjflasdkjflasdf excited. Aaaaaaand shutting up now. ^.^;; Edit, 3:09 a.m.: Totally unrelated, but oh man, Inheritance Cycle RPers in dear_mun? TONIGHT IS A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT FOR MY FANDOMS.

02:29 pm - All hail Uzumakiism! As stupid, ill-informed, and naive as this sounds, all the jaded Naruto "fans" make me feel really guilty for still enjoying this supposed PoS and make me feel better about not delving into the fandom. I'm sorry I like Naruto better than Sasuke. I'm sorry I abso-fecking-lutely hate Sasuke and don't give a crap about their twagic clan except for Obito. Then again -- gasp! -- he's supposed to be like Naruto. I'm sorry I started to actually like this Nagato arc and aspects of his character. I'm usually indifferent to Akatsuki as a whole. This is a rarity. I'm sorry I'm too stupidly sensitive to look at Kishimoto's storytelling objectively to see the flaws you all do. Naruto's far from perfect, but can I just pretend it's still wonderful and amazing, please? No, that just makes you part of the problem, right? This is such a stupid post, but whatever. It also reminds me I'm behind some chapters on Bakuman. Lucky that series has a nice, goofy fandom. Pth. Current Mood: aggravated Tags: fangirlism, naruto

08:03 pm - Are you enjoying the Time of Eve? I got the internship! Feck, I'm excited. I don't officially start until next Monday, but they're sending me a manga to review tomorrow, so I'll be expecting that sometime this week. So I'm excited, but also really nervous that I might find a way to screw this up because that something I'd do. Especially because I'll be covering DC and Marvel comic updates as well, and I haven't followed a title for either label in years. Just have to wing it, I guess. Watching Time of Eve on Crunchyroll.

04:19 pm - My commencement, part II Okay. So I'm looking for internships and such online right now, and I'm laughing at how they all say they require "excellent interpersonal and communication skills." Tell me again why the heck I'm looking for a future in the communication field. UGH. Edit, 4:43 p.m.: Wait. Is it true doing internships is illegal after you've graduated? Because oh my feck if this is true I am freaking screwed because there is no way I am ready or properly qualified for a job at this point because I have zilch experience. Holy crap I need to know this before I screw up my life more than I already have alkdjfalksdfjalskdf. Edit, 5:12 p.m.: Priorities. Plz to be having them nao? I'm such a freaking screw-up and in some ways I don't even care enough to want to do crap about it. I am the biggest waste of life ever.

04:20 pm - My commencement, part I Wow, so Sis and I watched the Scrubs series finale a couple hours ago. I feel like part of my teenhood has just died. For the hour or so after watching it, I was feeling really sad. Like that "Where is my life going now?" kind of sadness. Yeah, I know, I'm a lamer. So. I am officially old now. By old, I mean a college graduate, hahh. Ended up graduating Cum Laude, which is nice except I still think I could've done better if I didn't slack off so much during my college career. Ah well, least that part of my life's done and over with, which is a big ol' weight off my shoulders. Although, I find it kind of disturbing that the older you get, the more obnoxious your graduation ceremonies are. People were hollering and blowing noisemakers whenever a speaker mentioned our class graduating or someone they knew was called to stage. Some of the grads even threw their caps, and one cap hit a grad student near the head. Annoyed and angry aren't emotions you should be feeling on your graduation ceremony, but at some points people were seriously acting up. I can understand being excited and all, but I don't know. There was a lot of disrespectful behavior going around. It's something to think that middle school was my most dignified graduation to date. Then again, I went to a private Catholic school. Besides that, though, it was a fun occasion. Family had Fresh Harvest for lunch, party later that night. A lot of people came, and everyone seemed to have a good time. That's that. Now I'll have to start looking for entry-level jobs and/or internships. Joy... Current Mood: thoughtful Tags: college, feck i need internships, graduation, scrubs

12:14 pm - What a crazy random happenstance We'll pretend I got that Dr. Horrible quote right. Dad and Sis are back here! I'm kind of bad at reporting important life developments properly, though I've alluded to the family situation here and there. Dad and Sis moved to California back in October. We've been planning a move across the country for a while, and we're kind of in between places still. But they've come back a couple weeks early for my graduation, and they'll be around there here Floridian parts for a while, so I'm really excited to see them again since I only got a week with them during spring break last month. In OMG WHUT news, someone over at paradisa lives in Tampa and works at my university. I could be seeing this guy everyday and I wouldn't even know it, snap. :O I'm in a good mood because of family circumstances, so have a writing meme: Give me a character or two and a one word prompt, and I'll write you a few sentences inspired by that word starring that character(s). Fandoms I'll try my hand at include in no particular order KIBA, Naruto, Gintama, Natsume Yuujinchou, Teen Titans, Avatar: The Last Airbender, No More Heroes, Digimon Adventure/02, IGPX, Yozakura Quartet, Reaper, and um maybe more if I feel like I'm up to them.

12:57 am - The woes of writing What is it about revising papers that scares me into extended procrastination? I have to revise two pieces for my radio and alternative performance class by tomorrow, but I haven't even put anything on Word. I have a general idea of what I want to do for both of them in my head, and they aren't even major document altering changes. But I still can't even look at them without cringing. I'm like psychologically allergic to the revision process. I think deep down there's a part of me that honestly deludes itself believes everything I write on first draft is super amazingly perfect, so having to revise anything is like a blow to my morale or something. Which is ridiculous, especially for someone who wants to write for a career. Lawls. And because I feel attention-whorish: What Fictional Character Do You Associate Me With?

04:16 pm - Pointless post is pointless I'd update with something else, but I kind of have nothing. Oh, well I am crazy behind schedule on my reading resolution, but school mauled me and made me realize one book a week is truly crazysauce. Kind of wish I went with two or so books a month instead. It's a more realistic goal, but bah, what can I do? I'm still trying to get as much reading in as possible, but I'm probably going to read double time over the summer to get on track. I want May 9th to come now. Graduation's so close, yet so far, blarugh. The How's My Driving? Meme Current Mood: blah Tags: books, graduation, meme stuffies

09:59 am - You can bet on it that he's messing with my reading pleasure I've long asserted that I'll never be able to take Death Note seriously enough to consider ever reading or watching it because when I see Light, I only see Zac Efron. And when I see Zac Efron, I only think High School Musical. So when you're mentally associating Death Note with High School Musical, at least in my head, you can't look at the former with a straight face anymore. Plus, the only character that either interests me or doesn't creep me out is Matt, and um even a non-fan knows that's a cardinal sin in DN fandom. Anyway, have a visual demonstration of my reasoning. There are actual supporters for this casting, too. This picture's from an LJ community all about it. But to my point, now the association to Zac Efron to anything Death Note is screwing with my reading Bakuman because it's written and drawn by the same two-man team. Which bugs me because I'm supposed to be cheering Mashiro and Takagi on along their quirky little journey to becoming mangaka, and all I'm hearing in my head is "Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on iiit~!" Which is distracting because otherwise it's an entertaining series, and Takagi is adorkable. And maybe it's all the more distracting because its "I'm not going to give up until I achieve what I want" theme actually works with Mashiro and Takagi's goal. OTL Moral of the story: DON'T DATE ROBOTS! Zac Efron is the reason why I can't have nice things. (Too much Zefron in my LJ, wth? XO) Also, if Takagi weren't eight years younger than me, I'd hit it. Yes, even a loser has her standards. Mostly. Current Mood: groggy Tags: anime, i try to explain things or something

12:38 am - You can bet on it that I wanna be the very best! I'm not a fan of reposting videos to my journal, but this one kind of made me giggle lots. It... works so frighteningly well. Just wow. XD;; And in an attempt to make this entry less pointless, I'll be going to a communication media conference tomorrow. As to what I want to do as a career, I think I'm leaning further from journalism and the like, but it's still something I was good at once upon a time. Figure if I don't make it doing more creative writing, I can try this out. Or something. Either way, I think it'll be useful to me somehow. Registration was only $6 for students, so it's helpful and affordable. Sounds good to me! Current Mood: amused Tags: funny things make me laugh, no future even any future?, pocket monsters

03:17 pm - Epic fail priorities I like how I should be working on my radio/alternative performance pieces and scriptwriting pages, but instead of being generally productive I choose to rewatch most of KIBA on YouTube so I can refresh my canon knowledge enough to write an app for Noa at... some game I haven't even decided upon yet. I'm stuck between two choices. Ooh, I came across English dubs of the second half of the series, awesometimes. But after three dub eps. I realized I don't have the second half on DVD yet and I wanted to wait till I had it to watch the series dubbed, so I switched back to watching the old fansubs. Noa's always been my pet character, but mmm did I forget how hot he can be when he's being a power-hungry jerk. And now I kind of want to cosplay him as Dolga because lol I can pull off his hair, but that'd be a dumb idea because I can't take myself crossplaying seriously and practically nobody knows KIBA, so who'd know who I am? I also forgot how much of a pimp Noa is without even trying. Sure, Robes is designed to be the in-canon fangirl favorite because he's rich and princely and voiced by Miki Shin'ichirou and random stock women characters flock over him every so often. But Noa's a magnet for most of the important female characters and he only ever hits on one of them, and then that's just a benign, "Oh, I didn't realize how much prettier you are without your glasses, Kira." Even his seiyuu Horie Kazuma seemed to notice and made this lovely succinct chart of who has a thing for whom on his blog. ゼッド　(Zed) ←　ロイア (Roya) - Not important to the point. ノア　(Noa) 　←　サギリ (Sagiri) - Ick, shipping little girls is squicky. ノア　(Noa) 　←　ダイアナ？ (Diana) - Don't question mark that, Horie-san. Diana so had a creepy pedo thing for him. "I'll convince you to be a jerk and uphold Absolute Law as our savior BY PRESSING YOU AGAINST MY BOOBS." ノア　(Noa)　←　キーラ (Kira) - Kira was so in denial. "I have no feelings for any man" my face. ドルガー (Dolga)　←　ミレッド (Mirred) - "O HAY MIRRED I'm only using you to get your Legendary Pokemon Key Spirit so I can take over the world, *insert nefarious laughter here*!" ゼッド　(Zed) ←　ノア？ (Noa) - Rofl, that should not be question marked ever, Horie-san. Noa's probably been nursing his hero worshiping boycrush on his best friend since Zed saved him from getting beat up from those bullies when they were kids. Not to mention who was the one who could snap Noa out of letting Tusker possess him to screw up the world and offered the Pokemon Spirit god his body instead? ZED. So yeah basically I SHIP IT. Dag, I love this show even though the faithful to the Japanese script English dialogue sounds occasionally corny and it's supposedly as generic shounen as shounen can be. Fine, I can admit to those faults, but I still uphold the opinion that Noa's "180 personality shift" is completely justified and in-character. Well, at least in-character. Acting like a stiff bastard upholding somewhat communist laws and manipulating everyone to catch Legendary Pokemon collect Key Spirits to gain the power to recreate the world? Generally not a coolio thing to do. Lol, love that kid, though. And based on what Sis told me about Gurren Lagan or however it's spelled I kind of crossover ship Neotopia!Noa with timeskip!Rossiu even though I guess that'd be kind of pedo because Rossiu is 21-ish and Noa's 15? "Mm baby, I love how you think laws and government are more important than everything in the world ESPECIALLY YOUR BEST FRIEND." Lolololololol I'd fic or art it if I didn't suck at both fandom activities. Yeah. Edit: Wait what? Noa's seiyuu dubbed Nick Jonas in that lame Camp Rock movie? Nick is the young, supposedly cute Jonas brother, right? Rofl, I wonder if anyone over at seiyuu has the Japanese dub of that movie and will upload it sometime, ahahahahaha. Edit, 03-29, 3:50 AM: Okay, just finished the series. The final battle stuff is still anticlimactic, but the epilogue ksjdflakjdsfldsf still makes me cry. Why did Zed and Noa have to be separated forever? Why did Noa have to get sickly again? Why did Mickey just now become relevant to the series again, and why did it have to eeeeend? Gah, this series gets at me so much it's pathetic.

11:40 pm - You know you're an anime character when you've nosebled thinking bad thoughts Snagged this anime/manga character archetype meme from splash.

06:24 am - Come back to reality Back from spring break in California. Nice, restful break. Got to see the family again, play Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles like, every day, got to not think about school for little less than a week. Too bad that part's over with. I have a senior writing portfolio due tomorrow and my scriptwriting step sheet due the next day, ew. How the feck am I supposed to plot out 50 scenes worth of movie when I still have no idea what I want to happen in my script to begin with? >.<* At least the portfolio's mainly a collection of writing pieces I've done over my college career, so it's kind of easy. Just have to write an overall reflection of my growth as a writer in the Writing major and mini reflection pieces to go with each piece of writing. Bah, still too much work, though. I'm so over college. May 9th needs to get here pronto. Maybe.

01:21 pm - Why can't I quit you? D: Do you ever feel like you should give up something you really love doing? Like something you know you're not any good at, that you're just not cut out for. This hobby doesn't have a whole lot of benefit, maybe giving it up would actually free you up for other more fulfilling opportunities, but when you're on a roll it's so much fun. Along the same lines though, when you're in a rut, it's horrible and just makes you hate yourself somewhat. If that's the case, it's really more of a hassle fruitlessly keeping up with something that causes you unnecessary stress. The logical thing to do would be to give up on it, right? Bah. I never was a logical person, though. Too much of a sensee for my own good, ha.
