'Cause kelly kept bugging me about it.
List 10 of your favorite characters from different fandoms, and ask people to spot patterns in your choices, and if they're so inclined, to draw conclusions about you based on the patterns they've spotted.
1) Howell Jenkins (Howl's Moving Castle...the book)
2) Sumeragi Hokuto (Tokyo Babylon/X)
3) Captain Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean...I only liked the first movie though)
4) Captain Jack Harkness (Doctor Who, New series)
5) Phillip J. Fry (Futurama)
6) Chirstopher Chant (Chrestomanci series)
7) Roy Mustang (Fullmetal Alchemist)
8) Eric Banyon (Bedlam's Bard series...okay, I really only liked the first book, but still...)
9) Zuko (Avatar: the Last Airbender... shut up)
10) Jaime Lannister (A Song of Ice and Fire)
Okay these aren't necessarily in order or even my top ten, but they were the first ten that popped into my head. :P
So...yeah. |

Do not leave the bacon unattended.
You will burn the bacon.
Bacon must be turned frequently lest it burn.
Burnt bacon is unappetizing.
Don't burn the bacon!

Doesn't help I've been in a slump lately and now suddenly I find myself with art-stuff that absolutely must be done. :\ |

Geh. I'm such a flake. :\ (don't ask)
On a completely unrelated note, I shall be getting new contacts soon. YAYS. I have been contact-less for like, six months. (Hoshit I can not believe it's nearing the end of June. What.) Now I'm wearing these temporary ones but like, it's been so long my eyes are not used to contacts anymore. :C I NEEDS THE EYEDROPS.
But hey I said I'd post some art and dag-nabbit, I am going to deliver. (For once.)
( Under a cut, of course ) |

Oh lookit that. Three updates in a day. That is just so special.
'Kay, here's my incredibly long list of songs I know:
White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane
American Pie by Don McClean
Bohemian Rhapshody by Queen
And almost all of It's the End of the World as We Know It by R.E.M.
And probably more I'm forgetting plus a whole shit-load of Spice Girls songs from the mid-nineties what I didn't just say that. >.>
I hope to add all of It's the End of the World as We Know It to my to that list. Someday.
And now you all have some idea of my taste in music. Good for you.
Why, yes, I am too lazy to post the lyrics so you'll just have to take my word for it. |

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, (even if we don't speak often) please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me.
It can be anything you want - good or bad - BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE.
When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people DON'T ACTUALLY remember about you. |

I want to go see Watchmen tonight but I'm poor and don't know how to get to the Source. Also I'm poor (yes it bears repeating.)
I just finished reading the comic (literally, like 20 minutes ago.)
When I first flipped through it, I critizied the limited color palate and uninspired panel layouts.
But then I read it.
It reads more like a storyboard than a comic, and the color is used to evoke emotions through use of lighting and shadow rather than realistic color rendering. I can dig it.
I could wax eloquent about it's brilliance, but I lack the linguistic capacity to do so. That, and I'm just too damn lazy. Seriously, this is just about everything I could ever want in a comic. Or should I say graphic novel? I mean, this is a story meant to be read all in one sitting, or you're going to miss a shit load of important stuff. Part of me wants to disect it as a literary masterpice. All those themes and motifs, the overall feeling of impending doom. The clock counting down to midnight. Taking the human experiance and summing it up with a few clever words and some color. I'm going to stop now because I don't even know what I'm saying.
Even if you're not into "American comics" I still highly recommend it. It's really a brilliantly written deconstruction of the superhero genre.
It's kinda weird to think this story was set in the year I was born. It made me nostalgic. Nostalgic for a decade I don't even remember just like most of the music I listen to.
I wonder if the movie will do the comic justice? I just wish I could be there to find out firsthand. |

RRrrrrrrr. For some reason, my car insurance payments went up. Not just a little bit, either, but like, 40+ dollars.
Uh. What?
I didn't make any changes to the policy and my last payment was the normal amount, but my next payment is like, $156! (and the payment after that is like $117). Uh, seriously? It's gotta be a mistake or something, because I have the paper version of my payment schedule (a nice, manageable amount of $78/month) and when I went and checked my account online it's like, WHOA SUDDEN PRICE HIKE. wtf. I didn't change my policy or send in a claim or anything. I just called my insurance agent (who's awesome) and he said he'd look into it as soon as he got back to the office.
This had better be a mistake because, uh, I can't afford that amount and all that other crap I have to make payments on (health insurance, car payments, ...salliemae those vultures...) on my measly cashier's wages. ;__________;
BUT SPEAKING OF WHICH. (tangent alert!) I guess they want be to be backup bookeeper at the store...?
Hahahaha. Funny story. So last week I was sick, (really, disgustingly sick and even had to break my perfect streak of not calling in to work because of it >:|) and randomly decided I needed some SunnyD. You know how when you're sick you only want to eat/drink certain things? Well, my thing that day was SunnyD for whatever reason and we had none in the house, because the last time I had a hankering for it was when I was twelve, so I went to the old Econofoods to get me some (and also possibly to request the 22nd off for gameday since I had realized in a panic that I'd forgotten to do that). SO ANYWAY. I'm standing there with my bottles of orange drink and trying valiently not to cough up a lung while my boss is talking at me about how the regular backup bookeeper is going on a 3 week vacation and the the head bookeeper couldn't possibly work for three weeks straight without going batshit insane and would I possibly be interested in being trained as a bookeeper? Then he mentioned something about a raise and I was all, "okie-dokie" because I'm a dork.
Okay, I lied. It's not a funny story. And I'm totally not fooling any of you by randomly abusing the capslock and italics to make my posts seem more interesting than they actually are. BUT ANYWAY:
+ More money (how much, I'm not sure, but some is better than nothing right?)
+ Not having to deal with customers (as often). I'd still be a cashier, too.
+ Climbin' up the old Econofoods hierarchy. (Bookeeper >>>> cashier).
+ Done with work at 2pm.
+ More money.
- Gotta be there at 5:30 AM. D:
- Learning a bunch of new and possibly difficult crap.
- Math. D:
- 5:30. A. M. D: D: D:
- Less time for going to Reelworks. ;_;
SPEAKING OF REELWORKS (man, this entry really is all over the place, isn't it?) I guess I've picked up the ink and paint system pretty quickly? Here I was all like, "Oh crap, I suck at learning new things, but uh, okay..." Turns out it's not that difficult after all. Just... different? Not as intuitive? ...Fragmented sentences ftw?
Okay, I'm bored with this. So! How are all of you doing?
ETA insurance thingie: Got it figured out. They just need to see some proof of previous insurance? They got some of it, but are missing a chunk, as I understand it? Easily fixed. Huzzah. |

| So yesterday I bought a car. |
[Jan. 7th, 2009|06:30 pm] |
...
You know, the title really says it all. 8D
Except that I'm super excited to have MY VERY OWN CAR. Not a car my parents let me have, but a car that I own personally. In my name and everything. Okay, my uncle had to co-sign the loan, because my credit isn't spectacular (read: non-existent) but WHATEVER. It's still my car. Only now, I'm all like, car payments! Insurance! D: D: D: And last night I had a mini panic because I don't have any money. Which means getting a second job (or a shit-ton of freelance work or both). Maybe I could go fulltime at the store...(Uugh -_-).
I've been feeling particularly antisocial lately, and I don't know why. Everytime I go to write something a little voice in the back of my mind is all like, "You're going to write about that? Really? You know no one gives a crap about your boring-ass life so why bother?" and I'm always like, "Shut up little voice, I don't have to listen to you." But by the time I'm done talking to myself, I've forgotten what I was going to write about anyway. D8 I am not crazy. Or I would chalk it up to treasonous little voices except we all know I'm just really lazy.
Hahaha I promised mom I'd do some housework, but getting myself to do anything domestic is like pulling teeth so instead I'm killing time on lj. Like always. I am the queen of procrastination. All you lazy bastards bow down before your queen. >8|
( Here, have some procrastination doodles )
That's all, nothing to see here, go back to your lives, citizens. |

So I got a new scanner for Christmas. I'm still getting used to it, but it is awesome to have a way of scanning my drawings. Huh? Drawings? What drawings? I'm in such an art slump it is not even funny.
We had Christmas at our house and it actually went fine. Oh hay, just like I figured it would, MOM. Everyone had a place to sit, even though it was crowded. Everything got done (except the cookies, we were just too tired on Wednesday night to bother with cookies after everything else was done). My uncle was out of the hospital and back home and able to make it to dinner. Apparently, it wasn't his heart, but some sort of infection around his lungs. All in all, I'm glad Chirstmas is over (but I'm sad to see it gone already).
I am so tired, I can't even remember what else I was going to say. This is my first real day to just relax in... what? Three weeks? And now I'm going to go to bed.
Btw, I am totally going to drink this can of cream soda even though it means I'll have to get up and pee every twenty minutes. Because I'm sure you all wanted to know that. 8P |

YET ANOTHER MEME. YOU ARE PISS-YOUR-PANTS EXCITED. ADMIT IT.
 Dear Santa...
Dear Santa,
This year I've been busy!
Last Wednesday I bought porn for </a></b></a>![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) granny_gadget(10 points). In June I broke </a></b></a>hawtstuf's X-Box (-12 points). In November I saved a busload of nuns in Angola (326 points). Last Monday I gave change to a homeless guy (19 points). In January I ruled Iran as a cruel and heartless dictator (-700 points).
Overall, I've been naughty (-357 points). For Christmas I deserve a spanking!
Sincerely,
dusky_rue |
Good lord, I have been busy this year. Iran shall not soon forget my tyranny. |
