I stole this meme from [info]candlejack! (on LJ).

Which fandom is...

The one who seduced you and fucked you over and broke your heart in a million pieces and laughed about it: One Piece, I think. Fuck you, Water 7. FUCK YOU TO HELL

The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still really enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp in the sheets: POKEMON. That last affair was really nice. :D

The mysterious dark gothy one whom you used to sit up with talking until 3 a.m. at weird coffeehouses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized he really was fucking crazy: I'm gonna go with DC Comic fandom.

The one you spent a whole weekend in bed with and who drank up all your liquor, and whom you'd still really like to fuck again although you're relieved he doesn't actually live in town: I'm not really sure how to answer this. Uh.

The steady: Resident Evil.

The alluring strangers whom you've flirted with at parties but have never gotten really serious with: Death Note

The one you hang out with and have vague fantasies about maybe having a thing with but ultimately you're just good buddies 'cause the friendship is there but the chemistry ain't: Fullmetal Alchemist, I think.

The one your friends keep introducing you to and who seems like a hell of a cool guy except it's never really gone anywhere: Final Fantasy.

The one who's slept with all your friends, and you keep looking at him and thinking, "him? how the hell did he land all these cool babes?": How about Ouran Host Club High School or whatever?

The one your friend has fallen for like a ton of bricks and whom she keeps babbling to you about on the phone for hours, and you'd be happy for her except you just know it's going to end badly: Uhm... I don't have any friends. LEAVE ME ALONE

Take a breath
Look around
Swallow your pride
For now, for now.

Nothing lasts
Life goes on
Full of surprises
You'll be faced with problems
Of all shapes and sizes
You're going to have to make a few compromises
For now, for now

But only for now!
Only for now
Only for now
Only for now

For now we're healthy
For now we're employed
For now we're happy
If not overjoyed
And we'll accept the things we cannot avoid for now
For now

SO I beat MGS2 which was amazing, but the ending was kind of... ehn to me. It was too damn... happy, is that the right word? I mean, we spend the whole game thinking--

hang on. I outta cut this. Spoilers and all.

( At least it's not poisonous Zanzibar hamsters. )

So I started playing MGS3 and I like it more than I thought I would, actually, but Solid Snake > Naked Snake in my book. Sorry guyz. And then the game I bought did this wonderful thing where I beat Ocelot and the disc refuses to play. Kojima is like "WELL YOU BEAT HIM. END OF GAME" and I'm like "WHAT WHAT ABOUT METAL GEAR THIS ISN'T OVER" and Kojima is like "IT IS FOR YOU STUPID AMERICAN AHAHAHAHA" so fuck him.

Later I will expound on the magical story about us taking our PlayStation 2 that wasn't even broken back and exchanging it. I'm so amazing.

But yeah, since MGS3 stopped working, I've moved on to Resident Evil 2. I enjoy the STARS office, but why does Wesker have a hidden film of Rebecca in his desk that you can only find if you search it fifty times and WHY DID I DO THIS?!??!?!

9/11/07 12:40 am

SO today was my first day at my new job. We went from 2:45 to midnight, and I wanted to kill myself from boredom.

I mean, it was any other job, really. It was no different than Qwest training, except I don't much care for the other people in my class (save a couple) very much at all, and the teacher has no idea how to teach. She just reads straight from the book, using all these abbreviations and lingo and I'm just like, "...forget this." So I mostly screw around and doodle the whole time while she drones on. :D

I finished RE:4! I haven't beaten the minigames yet, so I still have a ways to go. In all, it was a sickeningly hard game, and yet... the end boss was just so easy. I mean, really. Shooting something in the eye and then stabbing it over and over again? It doesn't even have a one-hit KO move that I ever saw. You shoot the damn thing in the eye three times and then Ada drops a rocket launcher that kills the bastard. Provided you don't miss which I was so scared I was going to do ahg

The end was disappointing, but what can you do. RE games only have one ending.

So there's that. I started playing Metal Gear Solid 2, and am mostly enjoying the radio conversations between Snake and Otacon. I don't really want to get past the Snake part, because I care about playing as Raiden like I care about stabbing myself in the foot repeatedly with a blunt knife. I need Twin Snakes so badly. Why did they only make two one and a half games I care about?? AND WHY ARE THEY SO HARD AHG

One more story before I leave: I didn't put my 2 weeks in to Joann, so when I called to quit (lolz), I was like, "Uh, I have a new job that starts today, so... I won't be coming in anymore." My manager was kind of quiet for a couple seconds before she laughed, said, "Great. Thanks." and hung up on me. And I was like, ". . ."

I went and got my paycheck today and it was quite awkward.

I think I'm done for now. I'm heading for somewhere to eat. Need food. Then sleep. Then training hell tomorrow. I need to bring my DS for something to do, I think. There's computers at our desks, but we don't have logins, so... they just taunt us.

Uhg.

Okay, I'm done. Yo home, smell ya later.

HAHAH I FINISHED MY LETTER I AM AMAZING.

( Mi spanish es muy sucko. )

Lolz in english

( Dear Shirota, I am a total dork. Love, Emily. )

9/5/07 08:14 pm

OKAY GUYZ HERE'S WHAT I HAVE SO FAR

( Fuck I knew there was a reason I should have paid attention in class... )

Yes, I'm a fangirl. No, I don't care. Writing letters to your idols is what you're supposed to do as a teenager. And I haven't written any that I've actually sent before so lolz shut your face hole.

Everyone's going to fucking college and I'm just sitting here like, wasting my life.

I have these big plans and things I want to do and damnit, I don't want to be fucking searching for jobs all my life and doing this thing forever... I want a degree, so I can have a good job, one I won't lose all the time. I want to go to school, to be educated, to be something. I see people talking about their school, people who are older than me who live in apartments with their friends and get to go to school and don't even have a fucking job and it just makes me so angry. I know their parents don't make any more money than mine do, but since I'm the oldest of three I don't get fucking anything because mom and dad have to save for Hannah and Ryan and what if they don't do anything? Then I've wasted my life for nothing at all.

My parents are cursing me to this goddamn existence where I'm nothing but an uneducated retard working the night shift at retail for $8.00/hour my entire life until I just permaban myself from life.

I just want to go to school. I just want to be something. Dear god somebody please understand.

I can't even get loans because I don't qualify. I have no credit. My parents make such damn good money that the government won't help either -- they, frankly, are on the same level as me and don't understand why the hell my parents can't help me out.

For something that seems so damn necessary, how is it totally unattainable?

I haven't updated this thing in a while, so let's see... what can I update with...

I work currently at JoAnn fabric store, which everyone calls "JoAnn's" incorrectly. Actually, I always thought the "s" was on the end, too, but apparently it's not. Whether or not checks written out to "JoAnn's" can be cashed by us or not is a mystery, but I think I'm doing something wrong with check accepting because my manager made a very passive aggressive speech about watching what checks we accept when I was in earshot.

Like I really care.

Uh, I've been playing Resident Evil, I beat Code Veronica and I am now working on RE4. I got all the way to where Leon rescues Ashley and when I realized that I had to like, go back through the entire game with this little, kid-nappable girl trailing helplessly behind me while zombies chase us... I was like... "fuck". So I've kind of temporarily abandoned that. Instead, I spent all day today reading Encyclopedia Dramatica, and found out what a crazy bitch Snapesnogger is, and ended up unfavoriting everything of hers I had favorited in silent protest.

Uh. My life is boring. I had bratwurst for dinner. And squash.

My cat is currently going crazy. She made me follow her into the bathroom and turn the tub on with cold water so she could drink straight from the faucet.

So I've been thinking lately about how badly I want to go to Japan and see Tenimyu, but I don't care for the new cast. I mean, there's no way in hell I could have gone to see second cast -- I would have never had the resources. And by the time I save enough money to get there, they'll probably have a fourth cast or even have stopped doing it... so I don't know. I'm starting a new job which is going to make a good amount of money, but it's a "temp job" which they can choose to hire me on fully after three months... or not.

Lulzcon 2007 (the very first lulzcon!) is happening this month (28-30? I think) in Chicago, but I can't go, which is sad. We're planning on going next year, but I don't know what meme I'm going to cosplay as for the contest. I was thinking about dressing up like a mudkip and Kas suggested we dress up as dead people and go as "an heros", which is also a good idea. But only if there's another Lulzcon. Considering it's at the goddamn Congress Plaza Hotel in Chicago, we'll have to save up big time to go. Con rates for the hotel are $159.00/day, and we'd probably by there like... four nights, which is, what, $636.00, just for hotel. The cheapest airfare I can find (if booked 3 months in advance) is like $165 per person, so $330, which comes to a grand total of $966. A guesstimate. Hahahahah. So somewhere around $1050 would have to be saved for this grand adventure.

And yet, grand it would be. Grand indeed. Ryan should come with us. He would be like 16 by then and able to do grand things. Like come with us.

So I should go to bed but I guess I'm not tired, so watching moar episodes of HanaKimi tiem it iz. God, I love this show. Everyone needs to watch it like they need air. Of course that has nothing to do with Shirota being in it It's like a live-action anime (I mean it's based off a manga so what a surprise that is hurr) but it's about a girl who disguises herself as a guy to go to an all-boys high school boarding school type thing where boys are accepted based on their looks and not their grades. It's the most hilarious thing that has ever graced this planet, and is full of the canon gay. You can download it here. Do it now, for great justice. (Make sure you get the second one, because the first one is the Taiwanese (I think) version and we haven't seen it but it's probably not nearly as awesome plus no Shirota I mean come on.

I mean, really. With a show subtitled "Hottie Paradise", you can't really go wrong. Plus there's a really cute golden retriever. Just download the show. Don't make me force you. At least one episode.

SO if you guys wanna see a really screwed up movie, go rent "Cello". It's a Korean horror flick, and it's really awesome.

We got a free rental from Blockbuster (apparently if you take your AMC ticket stub to BBuster you get a free rental), so we got Cello and watched it tonight with relatively high hopes.

I won't spoil anything here, but yes! T'was quite good.

I know, I know. For once I got a movie that didn't suck. It's amazing.

Things not to do in line at the fabric store:

1. DON'T TRY TO SCAN YOUR CREDIT CARD before the cashier has finished scanning everything. And don't try to scan your credit card without SAYING anything. The cashier has to KNOW what the fuck you're doing and hit the bank card button on the register.

2. Don't come up to the cashier and be like, "So how does this work? :D" If you don't know what to do in a fabric store, there is no way in hell that fabric you're buying will ever make anything. It's really simple. You take the thing, take it to the cut table, and tell them how much you want. Then you bring it to the register. Really. It's easy.

Okay. I just had to get that out.

Cosplay pictures later. Old costume. Nothing exciting.

Also someday I'll put up a layout. I'm thinking Yamabuki.
