Sometimes, I really really enjoy RPing, and then other times I just kind of fall out of it. RPing Papa when he's spazzing is the funnest, and his icon spams are so fun. ~~I don't know what to do with Ali~~ I can't really do that anymore since my paid account ran out... .__. Why does LJ pick the most random 15 icons to leave active? I wish they did it based on the first 15 ever uploaded or by which ones were used the most.

The Macross Frontier Movie is out and I really want to see it. I have all the songs [that I could find] and now I'll have May'n in my head all day. I need to hurry up and learn then so I can sing along. What was the plot of the movie anyway? I thought it was about ~~Aisha Clan Clan~~ Klan Klang, but after that initial hearing I fell out of the loop. I just know it came out in November...

*wants to seeeee*

Oops

I was trying to figure out why my journal was looking so funky. I went into my settings and now I know. I had my style sheet uploaded on geocities and the site went down a week or so ago. That explains that. I lost the file, too, so I'll just have to find another place to re-upload it. Or put it into the custome CSS box this time after looking for the one I had. In the meantime, I'll just have to use this one. I only ever use it to check my f-list anyway...

/falls into the trap

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 12:56:00 GMT

I haven't updated in forever...!

Aside from RPing, I just don't use LJ that much. I check my f-list, but I don't always comment either, so that makes me even worse, doesn't it?

I haven't even been RPing that much either, since the summer time is when people are out for school both RP-wise and RL, so it had been about a month and a half since I posted on my character journals. BUT I still managed to avoid activity check, so woo hoo! I'm thinking of a third character, but I need to be more active with my two I have now. I don't think a third character will ever be a good idea. I feel like I'm never active enough as it is. When I RP, my mood can be really fickle, so I tag for a few tags then wander off somewhere else. Or I get really interested in one thread and can do that for hours while the others just sit there, so I apologize to anyone who threaded with me and it showed I was online...!

I also multi-task in a weird way. I read a physical book, my g-mail pings and I do that tag. Then, since I'm on the computer, I read something else in a different tab. Then the chapter ends [or I suddenly remember the cast aside book/manga] and I go back to the physical book. My e-mail pings again, or I end that chapter, and I'm back on the computer. It's really weird, and I don't know how everything in stays separated in my head. It's bad enough my attention span is scattered and I don't remember things well. My characters don't remember people/places like they should. Thaaat might be because I need to review HP canon, but I have so many other books I want to read, I don't want to delay them.

Well, whatever. I have work to do, so this random ramble gets cut off here. I'll try to update this more, because what's the point of having a journal without putting anything in it? :|

Oh my, how long has it been?

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 15:41:56 GMT

Mmmm. SE chapter sixty. I won't risk spoiling anyone, but yaaaay Medusa~!

Gundam 00 is over, and the ending was... okay, but the way Ali died sucked. I thought he would go out in a fireblast or something cool. Lockon^2 didn't deserve to kill him, honestly.

And I STILL haven't finished Toradora. I'm on episode 24 still. Haven't watched it.

This new season, is there even anything good? I'll watch the East of Eden anime! It has the same character designs as HachiKuro, so I'm interested just from that. Then the guy showing up naked?

So funny.

But other than that, what is there to watch? That's only 11 episodes. Need something else. .__.

I am so behind on everything. Soul Eater, ToraDora, Gundam 00. I've just been... RPing a lot, and fiddling around in photoshop. I should try to do fanart and sell them at Otakon this year, but I'm so engrossed in my own art that I don't want to take the time off from that to do fanart.

I haven't done fanart [intentionally] in years. That and I can put up original works, but those don't sell very well unless you're a well-known artist.

*sighs* Oh well. Back to work.

Death is still far away...

Mon, 12 Jan 2009 20:10:54 GMT

Ahaha, I'm still really bad at updating my LJ. I'll try harder...

New SE! Chapter 57! Mifune vs Black*Star? Yes pelase =D

New Gundam 00 OP. It... wasn't what I was expecting. I don't know what I was expecting, but not that... =D;; The animation is shiny, as usual, and it feels long, but so did UVERworld's OP. I didn't see the ED yet. People have this habit of cutting the OP and EDs when they sub them, as if I don't want to watch/listen to them... and I think I have most of the stuff I need to start RPing Ali Al Sacheez. All except my nerve. XD

I'm behind by an episode in ToraDora, I'm pretty sure. Better than before when it was two. The holiday had no episode so that's why I wasn't behind three.

Moving to manga [again] I was really bored and dying to find something to do... so I did something horrible. ;__; I caught up on D.Grayman. I like it, because I like Shounen. I'd been reluctant to get into another series, but oh well. I think I have an unnatural dislike of D.Gray for no reason .__.; I like the art, and I like red heads, and those are half of the quota I need to read a shounen series. I mean, look at Fairy Tail XD

Speaking of Fairy Tail, I'm waiting for the inevitable betrayal. Hoshima [I think that's the mangaka's name] just said it out right. It's only a matter of when and if it'll really be a betrayal or if Natsu will beat the traitorous thoughts out of him. I'm betting on the latter.

...I need to make a list of all the things I'm reading online. I'm sure the list is ridiculously long. The anime I'm watching is much shorter...

TT^TT

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 17:31:42 GMT

I just finished watching episode 23 of Gundam 00 [again].

*cries softly* Damn. I don't remember it being so sad, even though Lockon...

I'm such a pansy. 8|

I'm behind in 00 S2, too, because I've gotten caught up in watching the previous season. Maybe now when I watch the beginning of 00 I'll know why my friend was talking about how epic is was and how it answered all these questions...

I'm behind in Soul Eater, too, I think. But only by an episode. Toradora I'm behind at least two, since I didn't watch it last week. I need to find a place to watch Michiko to Hatchin, because I stopped at 4 when I couldn't find it subbed in English.

For manga, most of the Shounen Jump stuff was on hiatus, so I make disgruntled faces at them. Many disgruntled faces. We were at an interesting point in all of my series, damnit!

I also need to post with Spirit... he never gave her a christmas present... then there was the DE attack aaand me being busy with work and family so... *sighs* I'll have to get on that.

OH. And the MACROSS FRONTIER SOUNDTRACK III IS OUT! I saw some tracks on youtube! The ones I listened to were okay, but I want the whole thing! ;__; I'll have to scour the webz to find a copy to download...

...Ara ara... it's coming...

Tue, 16 Dec 2008 18:40:24 GMT

...I've been rewatching Gundam 00. I wanted to before the second season started, buuut... I just couldn't bring myself to. The first half of the first season was boring, honestly. Now that I'm rewatching it, it's more interesting this time. I don't know why, but that's good. It isn't torturous. I think because I'm paying closer attention and know where it's going [roughly] that it's funner to watch? Maybe... or not...

I still like Lockon the best, but I want to RP someone from G00. I don't think I could pull off Lockon. Not sure why. He might be too older brotherly and I already have Papa... I want to play a real bastard, actually. Ali Al Sarshes [I didn't spell that right, did I? :< Probably not.] would be REALLY fun! And another red-head. Mmmm, red heads =D I think I'll go with Allelujah though. Or maybe I WILL go with Ali... Hmmm. Alle is so gentle and kind. Ali really is just a BASTARD. *laughs* Wow. I'll see by the end of the series. Ali should be a teacher, but... but I already have a teacher and I want a student... M-Maybe I can do both? T^T Too much too soon...!

Neglectful again...

Sun, 14 Dec 2008 06:01:06 GMT

I've really been neglecting my journal. REALLY neglecting. I have a headache though... .__. I don't like taking medicine, but I have a feeling it's still going to be here tomorrow after I wake up and move around for a while... or it'll come back.

Soul Eater is getting close to Baba's Castle. I hope they get really far, because I would love to see more of the battles animated! Chapter 56 is... so awesome T^T Mifune and Black Staaaar~ I want to see more of their fights animated.

I stalled at Episode 4 of Michiko and Hatchin because I couldn't find a sub in english on veoh and haven't had a chance to look. Gundam 00 is getting good. It isn't slow like the first season near the beginning. I'm really trying hard not to get any more character muses... but I'd like to RP Allelujah. I like Lockon more, but I don't think I could pull him off. It'd probably be in SH. SH is really fun, and everyone is open and welcoming. It's a great comm for new people!

Oh... I kinda forgot what else I wanted to talk about... I'm so bad. =_= Internet ADD.

Chapter 55!

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 16:46:39 GMT

Eibon... Eiiibon~

Soul Eater makes me happy.

I behind in Gundam 00 by two episodes... stupid lack of subs on veoh. Anyone know where I can watch them online subbed? Anyone? T^T

I'm being really bad and have hardly been on LJ... I'm sure RP stuff has piled up skkkyyy high. I kinda don't want to look, and that only makes the problems worse... .__.

Randomly posting is better than not at all, right?

Tue, 04 Nov 2008 17:14:26 GMT

I should use my journal more =D

But I don't! Weeee~

Work is going okay. Election day is today! I hope all US citizens go out and vote! Even if you aren't voting for the same candidate I am, every vote is important! And all that jazz.

I've been catching up with Anime. Soul Eater isn't subbed yet, and I don't watch it raw. I DO watch Gundam 00 raw though, but I don't understand much. Oh well. I try.

Manga is up to date for the most part. Now that Hellsing is over, I think I might want to read that in one scoop. It sounds like fun. I enjoyed the anime, and Ultimate is really nice and shiny, though I haven't really been watching it.

Aaand going back to Gundam 00. The reason why I watch it raw has a lot to do with the commercials. I like watching them, since they're often times hilarious, or at least relevent, since the merchandise that's coming out I want to know about, so I might buy it... maybe.

The one I'm going to pirate, at least, are the GUNDAM 00 CHARACTER SINGLES.

Oh man. I didn't think they were going to do them, but they are. Lockon~ Allelujah~ I totally want theirs!

I cry...

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 00:01:58 GMT

...well, firstly. I have the first Macross OST. When I listened to the NONvocal tracks... I was stuck by ESCAFLOWNE. Really. Escaflowne has a very distinctive soundtrack and I could always tell Esca music when I listened to it. I think, in that regard, Youko Kanno did a great job in making something you can listen to over and over yet not mix it up with anything else.

...until now. I can't say there are many of them I like, and I think it's like a 'tame' Escaflowne track. Well. Tame as in not memorable. It might be because I'm still on an SE kick and Escaflowne is an old time favorite that will supersede all others. Or the vocal tracks I like so much that the BGM doesn't hold up? Who knows, but Frontier 2059, when I heard it, I had to switch back to iTunes because I thought it randomly skipped to some weird hidden Escaflowne track. .__.

Other than that, SE ending. Eh... it's okay. It does sound much more like Soul Eater, but still not a favorite. The OPENING didn't change. UGH! I really wanted to see what they were going to do but... booo, they didn't.

I can't FIND a streaming/subtitled online viewable place for Gundam 00. I. am. so. sad. ;__; I desperately want to see it, and it was supposed to be EPIC. *crying*

Putting my sadness aside, I decided to suck it up and try to find something to watch to replace the two that ended. One is Gundam, and the other is Toradora. Yes. That, I like your friend and I like yours so we'll help each other out one. The fact he smiled and started laughing and everyone ran away cus he honestly looked demented/scary, that she busted into his house and tried to kill him with a bokken... everyone else might be rolling their eyes, but my sense of humor is kinda twisted, so I found it all hilarious. .__. I'm so easy to please, but that's on my watch list for this season.

Everything else really does kinda look like shit.

Welcome~ Irrashaimasen!

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 18:31:35 GMT

....aaaa, I have that damn song stuck in my heeaaaad. Arrrrg.

Welcome to my FanClub's Night~ *shoots self*

Putting that aside, I started reading Meine Liebe because a whole bunch of people a while ago were talking about it [as an anime] and I saw the manga on www.onemanga.com and thought 'I'm bored, let's try it'.

Why am I still read this? It's one of those cliche finding someone and only have this one thing to go by but we promised to go to this place stories. ARG. And yet I keep reading it. No, really. Why?

All I have to say is lack of Macross and the gap between Geass and Gundam 00 is making me go to desperate measures.

And I like Edward best. 8| Screw the pale pretty boys.

Can I smack Alto yet?

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 20:12:45 GMT

I forgot!

I have a new mood theme! All credit goes to kawaii_madoushi~!

I'm really liking it! And I used it on my RP journal for Spirit as well. The fact he was the 'horny' emotion amuses me a lot. I actually needed to post with him today... but I'm feeling so lazy. *sighs*

Macross F last episode. I still want to smack Alto. Really. Omae ga, omaetachi ga ore no tsubasa da! my ass. >[ You bastard. Make up your mind!

Soul Eater~ We got to see all the other Death Scythes [who matter] and Justin just... *laughs* his voice is the best, so holy and dramatic! Spirit polishing candle holders. Pfft. Aaa, the next episodes are going to be greeeaaat! *looks forward to it*

I'm still behind on BotI. Episode 4's been out for a long while, and 5 and 6 are out RAW, but no one reliable is subtitling it, so I just wait to bulk watch one day.

The last episode of Code Geass is soon.

......

I have no idea how I feel about that now. Except my anticipation for Gundam 00 keeps growing! I'm hoping the OP and ED's will be something I like, and I'm DOUBLY hoping that for SE. All the endings have sucked and only the OP was worth anything, but I like TM Revolution anyway.

...and my layout colors are still screwed up, but I don't feel like FIXING them.

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 21:07:25 GMT

I have no self control... obviously. I went out and joined an RP... not just any RP. A Harry Potter AU RP. ;__; Whhhhy did I do it? It just looked like so much fun and I typed up my application in about two hours... I did contact the Maka RPer before, since I was going to be her roleplay papa... Oh it sounds even worse when I put it that way... She was excited and read it over and approved, so I posted it and was accepted entirely too soon... ;__; They're having an event, too. Parent's Day, so death Scythe can surprise her with that....... and never leave. *laughs nervously* He's going to be the Pre-Auror Training Class Professor.

Do I even know what I'm doing...? I haven't read Harry Potter in... forever it seems. I read the new book when it came out and haven't touched anything Harry Potter since. I'm going to need help... and Scythe!Papa is a teacher, too... oh why

I still haven't gotten to the Soul Eater sub for 23 yet [and don't know if it's out] and next week. So many Death Scythe icons are going to be made from it! I wonder which episode is going to have the new opening and ending... I like Resonance, but I haven't liked either of the endings. And Macross... is the new ep is out yet? I want to see this Final Frontier episode! I've been watching it all this time and don't even know what day it comes out in Japan...

I still haven't watched BotI 4 yet... I need to re-read the manga from the beginning, because I bought the last 4 volumes recently and haven't read them yet. Just staring at them in their plastic wrapper going '=3' because I have them and like the series.

I didn't watch Geass from last week. I need to before someone spoils me and/or Sunday rolls around and a new episode comes out.

Application... ohgodIdidit

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 01:21:03 GMT

...it's too late...

The deed...

..it has been done. Now I have to wait on rejection. ;__;

shakes fist

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 18:33:39 GMT

.........

Stupid colors. *scowls* They don't look right at all.

I'm going to get this right, I swear it. I'll just have to get home where... my CRT doesn't do strange things to the colors...

Oh no... I'm getting and inkling!

Sun, 14 Sep 2008 19:44:48 GMT

Macross 22... Are you serious? I don't konw who I want Alto to end up with. I think... I don't even care who he ends up with. I'd much prefer if he ended up alone, actually *laughs*

Soul eater 23~ Oooo it was so nice and shiny. I LOVE the fight scenes in SE. Especially Stein's. The way he was cracking his neck...! *shivers* But... what I really want to do is roleplay Death Scythe!Papa somewhere... He looks like he'd be really fun to play. Womanizers are always fun, because they're outgoing and friendly... and having them jump into threads wouldn't seem so strange...

But I'm really busy and don't want to apply somewhere and not play...

.__. I'm kinda torn.

cries bitter, salty tears

OH. MY. GOD.

THEY KILLED HIM. D8

AJKDSLFJAKSLDJAKLSJDKLA;SJDKL;AJSKDFL;AJKSL;A

WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!?!?!?

I HATE you Macross Frontier. HATE. ;____; *cries*

I thought for sure it was going to be her! Wrrrryyyy?!

Klan is going to SHANK SOME BITCHES.

That's all I have to say. D< SHANK THEM.

An update... before a month passes again...

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 15:29:14 GMT

I'm behind on stuff all of a sudden... but there's been a lot of stuff to do at work, so...

I have to make those calls today and finish up the C's. I've done about half, then had to stop so I could send boxes and stuff.

Soul Eater this week should be good and I can't wait until I have a chance to actually watch it... Macross Frontier I'm waiting for too, still. And Blade of the Immortal. I'm just being slow...

And is there any word on the Soul Eater OST being uploaded yet? I really want to listen to it [and make a few ringtones out of them!] so the sooner the better. I haven't listened to the character singles yet though. I keep forgetting.

Does anybody have any movies [new or old] they recommend as good watching? It can be funny, but I'm more interested in serious movies right now... though I'll do comedy just to break the monotony.

I need to get off of youtube...

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 16:03:01 GMT

Ummm...

I have this song stuck in my head..

I really like it. I want to find the MP3.

I'm alive... I know, it's amazing!

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:54:51 GMT

It's been almost a month since I updated... I should post more, but I always forget...!

So, my update... I guess...

○ I'm waiting for the Blade of the Immortal 3 episode to be subbed. [It might have been already, I haven't checked today.]
○ Waiting for the Soul Eater 21 sub release.
○ Code Geass is just killing me, it's so funny... in that way that shouldn't be funny but... *laughs anyway*
○ Waiting for these last 5 episodes of Geass R2 so GUNDAM -FUCKING-OO CAN COME BACK ON
○ I'm on episode 17 of Macross Frontier. citiesinflames is 100% at fault for me even knowing about the series.
○ Naruto manga is... meh. I wish Sasuke would die or just get over this getting his ass kicked crap and pull one of his deux ex machina's to kick the hachibi's ass already.
○ Bleach... that sparkling guy is still kinda scary, but... Yumichika > You = Always. I want to know his real shikai. Yes I do. Hisagi has one of those... annoying peculiar fraccion to fight... aaaand, Kira is getting his ass kicked, but since I don't really care about him either way, oh well.
○ I finished reading Katekyo Hitman Reborn. Half the cast I don't care about, and the other half I like. Lambo is in the middle. As a kid, he's annoying. 10+ and he's mildly amusing, with is gigolo shirt, and 20+ he is bad. ass. No shit. 10+ Yamamoto and Gokudera can have my babies now. Yes they can. I can still do with 6 volumes of the the Dailor Life arc. Pooointleees. Only the snowball fight can stay.
○ I caught up on Air Gear as well........ it really makes me realize I have to go waaaaaay back and start Tenjou Tenge over again. That thing is so complicated and Oh!Great talks in that annoying prophetic and round-about manner that I know I'm missing shit. Ugh. Damn him.

Things to check up on:
◘ Eyeshield 21
◘ Skip Beat
◘ Addicted to Curry

I'm sure there's more, but my brain hurts now...

Aaaand look at the PRETTY ICONS that citiesinflames made me for my birthday! I was totally late in getting them, but they are still well loved! *points at icon* See, see! His *shing* is so much better than Alto's sparkles!

Tanjoubi~

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 12:24:45 GMT

Happy Birthday to me 8D~!

Of course, I'm at work, so it isn't all THAT happy...

I'm behind on Soul Eater. That random not!subbed episode threw me off, and I haven't looked for this weeks yet... I've been completely sucked into Macross Frontier...

>/ That's your fault, citiesinflames. I'm on episode... uh. ~~Forgot.~~ Fifteen, I think? Don't remember. But I'm almost caught up. This better not be 51 episodes cus I'll die.

Still waiting for Blade of the Immortal 2 to be subbed! And I want the full version of the OP now please!

Umm... anything else? Probably a lot, but I can't remember.

Like the fact I haven't finished tweaking my layout and it's been weeks.

EDIT: Oh... JEBUS. Has anyone SEEN the release schedule for Soul Eater? One. A. Year. That is SO slow. I thought Tokyopop's releasing every 4 months was bad... Uuuuggghhh... =_=

It's a meme?

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 14:53:41 GMT

I should post in my journal more, right?

One True Pairing Ship:
Canon Ship:
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship:
"You are one sick bastard" Ship:
"I dabble a little" Ship:
"It's like a car crash" Ship:

I don't really talk about much but soul Eater, buuut...

Fandoms: Soul Eater, Naruto, Bleach, Eyeshield 21, Skip Beat, Code Geass, Gundam 00, Princess Tutu, Monster, and... uhhh, I think I have them all? Oh wait! Hikaru no Go! Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne [actually, all Arina Tanemura works]... Okay. No more. =__=

My tastes are all over the place...!

General Updates

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 13:21:26 GMT

I haven't had a chance to watch Soul Eater 13 yet... but I'm wondering when the ending song is going to change... I think the OP stays the same, but I like Resonance, so that's okay.

I'd forgotten about Fairy Tail! I know I'm a few weeks behind... better to bulk read anyway.

Work is kinda sucky right now, but only because my boss keeps adding things to everything so something that takes 2 minutes ends up taking 5 because a whole bunch of stuff 'to record' and make sure it's 'getting complete' has to be done before we close out any sites.

Otherwise, life is boring... I wanna try out photoshop some more, because I really suck at it. Doing simple things is so hard because you can just click and it's done. It has this weird name and if you select you aren't REALLY selecting it and jkasldjfkas... Stupid photoshop...
