My Brute! [09 May 2009|12:05am] Seriously, this is fun! http://honeycake.mybrute.com Go make a cute little character of your own and watch while she fights. (knock an angel off a cloud)

Pretty pictures. [01 Apr 2009|09:23am] Exotique 4 is on sale at Ballistic Publishing, if anyone is interested in staggeringly amazing digital art. I'm going to order me a copy, because I love looking at fantastical pictures like this. Fantasy art is fun! And this particular collection is lovely -- the publishers even arrange the pictures so nicely that the book itself is a work of art. They put similarly colored and themed pictures together... or sometimes they contrast pictures to enhance each ones effect. I also love that you can preview the entire book on their website. I HIGHLY recommend people follow that link. (And no, this is not an April 1st joke, even though I'm posting it today.) (2 fallen angels | knock an angel off a cloud)

We're all in the same boat. [10 Mar 2009|11:51am] http://vimeo.com/3261363 Quit complaining about "paying for other people's mistakes" because we're all in the same boat. I realize that our cultures values individualistic selfishness, but that's what got us into this mess in the first place. (The above statement is in response to a bunch of complaining I've heard recently about taxpayers having to pay for bailouts.) (knock an angel off a cloud)

post [11 Feb 2009|12:52pm] [ mood | moody ] I'm still smarting over a meeting with a CSUN fucktard counselor I had last week. Complete and utter non-helpful bullshit with a condescending attitude to boot. He made me feel stupid and unworthy and that makes me feel mad as hell. Whatthefuckever, dude. All else seems to be going well. I took my CBEST this last weekend. Long four hours, but I'm extremely confident that I passed, and mostly likely with flying colors. There were only three questions that stumped me (all math), but I think I got them anyway. And my essays were awesome, if I do say so myself. :-P We'll see. Next month is the CSET test, plus starting my at-school observations. My arm still itches from my TB test. :-( (4 fallen angels | knock an angel off a cloud)

Too cute. [29 Jan 2009|12:49pm] ( It's a giggle of hobbits! ) (2 fallen angels | knock an angel off a cloud)

[13 Jan 2009|09:38pm] Have I mentioned that I'm taking classes towards becoming a teacher? Well, I am. (2 fallen angels | knock an angel off a cloud)

The cake is a lie. [08 Dec 2008|11:27am] I completely and totally blame ohani for me having this song stuck in my head for about three days now. I only saw this once, but that tune is just so... so... earwigging. Anyway, I finally broke down today and looked it up again. Spoilers for the game Portal, obviously. ( This was a triumph. ) Really, I'm just procrastinating writing a paper... (3 fallen angels | knock an angel off a cloud)

I shall make an update! Because LotRO is down... [17 Nov 2008|04:49pm] Over the last few days, I've kinda been helplessly trying to set my doll stuff into some sort of organized fashion. How did I end up with so much doll stuff, omg! I keep getting distracted by redressing my dolls, too, so I am not getting much done. It doesn't help that the comments from the peanut gallery are along the lines of "Nope, give up, it's hopeless, you can't form anything coherent out of that mess." *sadface* The people in my Analysis (I don't think I mentioned that I went back to school...? Well, I did, anyway.) are making me want to hire a "removal specialist" to do them in. Why!? Why must professors assign group research projects!?!? WHY DO THEY HATE ME~!!!??? One of my "partners" is seriously of below-average intelligence, and the other one is just a flake. I'm researching and writing our research proposal all by myself because they are asstards and cannot be trusted. *pulls hair out* LotR Online's expansion is coming out tomorrow. Whee~! My Kin Leader posted on the Message of the Day that we all need to be level 60 in one week and our first Vile Maw raid will occur on Turkey Day. I THINK that he is joking, but one can never truly know with these freaks. In other news, I managed to get my dad to rank 6 on his Burglar the day before server shutdown and it only took my poor healer dying about 100 times in the space of 5 hours of gaming in the Ettenmoors. But! He has his spiffy set armor and should be golden while leveling up because of that extra +2 to stealth it gives. I have nothing else to report, because my life is a dull and empty place.

[06 Oct 2008|09:33am] All I want to do today is go kite flying (possibly kidnapping inkwraith and forcing her to go with me, since I hear she is playing hooky today, as it is her birthday... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, INKY-ONE!!!), but this is unlikely. Firstly, there is no wind. Secondly, I have a research proposal due tomorrow AND an ethics paper to write. Bah. *dashes off to the library* (2 fallen angels | knock an angel off a cloud)

Ponies are pretty! [11 Sep 2008|02:01pm] My powers of persuasion are prodigious pertaining to My Little Pony Painting Parties. Phone me posthaste for the particulars. :-D (4 fallen angels | knock an angel off a cloud)

[21 Aug 2008|01:55pm] Fortunately, I don't appear to dream anymore. (2 fallen angels | knock an angel off a cloud)

Therapy thorugh the medium of television. [07 Jul 2008|02:13pm] [ mood | rejected ] I've been watching lots of Joan of Arcadia. There are episodes that make me cry, particularly the one called The Uncertainty Principle. Yes, I identified with the hoodlum and yes, I felt as if "god's" words applied to me. I'm considering divorcing/disowning/whatevering my dad. I don't think it's good for me to be around him and his wife and have to deal with him not defending me to her. On the other hand, I love him. And I would feel like a bad daughter. I already feel guilty for feeling relief when he said not to visit him today. (1 fallen angel | knock an angel off a cloud)

The Lord of the Rings (The Musical!) [24 Jun 2008|04:35am] Yeah, I'm going to be seeing this in a few hours. O_O Have I talked about my massive phobia of live performances before? Particularly musicals? I'm going to try my best, really, I am, but I may be cringing and hiding my eyes and stuffing my fingers in my ears the whole time going la-la-la-la-la... Or maybe I shall actually overcome my phobia! I mean, I DID manage to enjoy the Takarazuka Review, but then again, it wasn't in English so I didn't really get all that was going on... Hm. Well. We shall see! Hehehee. (9 fallen angels | knock an angel off a cloud)

a week in time [21 Jun 2008|03:16pm] We came back to Cheltenham from Scotland today, a loooooong 7-hour drive (brief stop at his mom's house for lunch, thank god, yay chocolate!). Scotland, specifically the Scottish Highlands around Glen Shiel, is the most stunningly beautiful place I have ever seen. I got to photograph rainbows! Yes, multiple ones! :-D Unfortunately, I came back to an e-mail that my dad is in the hospital, having suffered from more heart troubles. I have my sister in Texas's number. She apparently called my mom to let me know what was happening. This is scary. I'm terrified about calling her and finding out horrible medical stuff about my dad. The last year he's been so frail. I feel like a bad person, enjoying myself in another country while people dear to me are suffereing. (knock an angel off a cloud)

[01 Jun 2008|04:09am] England, specifically the Cotswolds, is so pretty and green and pretty and lovely and pretty. Just driving around is a treat because of all the pretty. Even with all the overcastness and the rain, it's been pretty. Pretty pretty pretty. I've been to a tower folly place and a manor garden place and a cute town with a stream running through it place and some other places, and yeah, I think I might remember the names of those places, but I'm not sure. Jay took me to a pub last night where we had juice and fish and chips. Did you know it gets darker later here than it does in LA? It does. It's weird for it to still be light outside at 10pm. I guess it's a lattitude thing. (3 fallen angels | knock an angel off a cloud)

[22 May 2008|05:38pm] My Economic Stimulus Check came yesterday. I feel all Ha! I'm sticking it to the Man! because I am spending it all in the U.K. *smug* I'm going to go stimulate me some foreign economies, yay! I leave the 25th (yes, this Sunday) and I will not be home until the 26th of June. Wish me happy trails, y'all. ^_^ (20 fallen angels | knock an angel off a cloud)

The difference between my mom and myself: [18 Apr 2008|09:41pm] [ mood | rushed ] Me - I am leaving for Montreal tomorrow morning with a carry-on and a purse/bag of stuff. My Mom - She is leaving for Montreal tomorrow morning with a huge checked bag, a carry-on that is bigger than mine, and a purse. FOR A FOUR DAY TRIP. Sometimes there is just no comprehension between us. Ah well. Hopefully, it'll be interesting, maybe even fun. ^_^ (3 fallen angels | knock an angel off a cloud)

Magazines [16 Apr 2008|01:26pm] I have taken a step backwards and, after almost 3 years, I have gone back to magazines. Yay? Well, ANYTHING is better than the cafe, so yes, yay. It really has been awhile. At the end of my previous tenure in the newsstand, I never ever even looked at the magazines, really. Now I find myself being a bit captivated by some of them. I zoned through four sections today and was held in thrall by several science magazines (pretty pictures of stars!), a couple of art/photo magazines (pretty pictures of nature!), and one music magazine (pretty pictures of J-Rock bands! and yeah, wow, there is actually a magazine dedicated to J-Rock in English? weird... my world, it has changed in 3 years...). Another thing I noticed was that a good half of all the magazines my store carries now are from the U.K. Why? I have no idea why. I suspect that it is the secret British way of taking over the U.S. Yes. I seem to have retained the knack for handling magazines, anyway. Not a single papercut so far. I do miss the camaraderie of working with other people in the cafe, but there is something to be said for not actually having to communicate extensively with my co-workers and having two hours of complete silence to sort things in before the store opens, too. Anyway, I'll only be working there for a few more weeks, so whatever. I'll look at the pretty pictures and avoid papercuts and all will be well. ^_^ (1 fallen angel | knock an angel off a cloud)
