I've got some photos I took at my uncle and aunt's house yesterday. Hopefully I can get to them tonight, because there's some other pics on the card, before those, that I wanna do something with too. These include updated photos of my room like you all care SO MUCH about my room, huh? xD so we'll see.


Manta's been having lots of problems with her computer lately :\ I tried to help all that I could, but hopefully her uncle the computer expert will be able to do it better since he can be right there XD; Either way though I hope she gets it fixed soon. At least we can still talk on the phone.


Oh yeah, I had a weird dream this morning that involved Alton Brown, my eldest niece and nephew, and a featherless turkey. oO;; Note to self: Watch what you eat right before bed.


On the LJ RP front Mega.EXE was successfully accepted over at herecomesthearm. Hopefully I can make an actual IC post later today xDD I've also expanded his iconspace so I can give him some plainclothes ones befitting the plot of the RP.


See how boring my life is? Pfft. Anyway no dragons to post, they're all adults and I haven't grabbed any eggs in a while. I'm hunting shiny Mudkips though, so hit those at least...? Which reminds me. I have a Pokemon Platinum save file to get back to.

I hate being a girl sometimes. Mother Nature, you suck.

That is all.

I just apped networkbattler to herecomesthearm. Jeez, never thought I'd have so much problems with a Megaman app before XD; It wasn't even the samples, really. ...Well it was, sort of. But the history section, and personality, and... gah x_X For having been playing Mega, both on LJ and off, for about four years now it should have gone better/quicker than that XD

ANYWAY. Wish me luck |D;


Now if I could just finish Giro's app...

That wasn't exactly what I expected Arceus to sound like XD Good movie though, all the same. And yay Dialga face time~ ♥


Okay, down to business. Five-question meme from eibborn; just the questions and my answers for now, I'll post the actual meme later. My head hurts too much right now to reply to any I might get XD;

1. What is something totally silly that you do in public? (It still counts if you only do it when no one's looking!)
2. Talk to me about a contentious issue that's interesting to you. Gender equality? Video games as an art form? Farmed fish vs. wild?
3. What is your favourite hot drink?
4. Why did you decide to make Psychosocial?
5. What is one of your favourite childhood books?

( Back here )


Rewatched several episodes on one of my few EXE Axess tapes (in this case, it's the last 10 episodes of the English version, on that particular VHS). I dearly wish I had more though. Which reminds me, I need to start getting the DVDs of the original seasons again. XD


Still no event egg over at GPX :\ But at least I finally have a female Togepi. Here's hoping Squirtle hatches out into the gender I need too XD;

Yes I know I just posted earlier. I need more light stuff in my journal lately. XD So have a meme; avoiding books that have already appeared on my f-list.

1. Pick 10 of your favorite books or series.
2. Post the first sentence of each book. (If one sentence seems too short, post two or three!)
3. Let everyone try to guess the titles and authors of your books

( Butterfly in the sky, I can go twice as high. Take a look, it's in a book... )

If Sarah Palin's new book was called "Going Maverick" instead of "Going Rogue", it'd be so much more amusing, for all the wrong reasons.

/Megaman nerd

( Move along, nothing to see here. )


I think I may make sure I'm all caught up on activity at DDD, and then go on a break from online for a while. At least, on a mostly-break; my mail and DA would still be checked just so messages don't pile up...

Netto, bro, would you be willing to become a mod (temporary or permanent) over at psychosocial_rp to keep an eye on it for me, if I do wind up taking a break?

I DID IT. I defeated that stupid boss in Command Mission! Thank you failicus for tiiiiips and support. I think Cinnamon is a permanent part of my party now, she saves so much on SubTanks xDD Anyway, already started on Chapter 6; I guess I'm about halfway through? And weirdly enough, the message "Zero joined the party again" made me giggle, if only because I was about to say it myself. (Although with stress on the word "again" but whichever)


I realized today I have a huge number of Capcom games. Miles of Megaman (naturally), two of three Dino Crisises (Crises?), Resident Evil 2, the first two Phoenix Wright games (and hopefully the others once I find them)... It's just kinda funny is all XD


In unrelated news, I think this is the best batch of chocolate chip cookies I've ever made. ...Even if I did manage to burn a small number of them >__> Oops.


My mother's in town, staying at my eldest sister's. I hope we can have a chance to go see them tomorrow.

I love my past self. Okay, so I've been sitting here for the past half hour or so trying to find a good image for a new icon idea. I'm getting frustrated by this point because I had it, and then I forgot where it was. So I'm scanning through other pictures from the same time and.. apparently the me from 2007 decides to throw a curveball.

I found this. I have been looking for that image for a YEAR now, and I'd originally thought it lost. I can't believe that I'd saved it after all.

It's that picture that I talk about in this one, by the way. And when Christmas comes around at DDD Giro's going to do the same thing he did last year and deliver gifts to his friends, I'm so using that image up there for an icon.

Ah, I'm so happy I found it~ <333 On my own computer to boot. XD

It's a good time to be a Megaman nerd.

Udon Entertainment, I think I love you.


Yes I know the last one has already been released XD I don't have it yet though, so I'm putting it here.

AHEM. There's one or two dramadramaduck character journals that have friended mine. As in, this one. As in, my mun journal. Just letting those know that this isn't a character journal, in case the friending was done accidentally.

So yeah. DDD players? If you've friended this journal with a character one and didn't mean to, please de-friend? Thanks bbs.

How in the flying fuck did I sleep from about 5-6 PM yesterday to 1 AM this morning?? Jeez, it was only supposed to be a short nap, too.


Caught the new PnF this morning. It was cute ♥


Also kept plugging away in Command Mission. I'm a little stumped at the Chapter 5 boss, but hey. I found Zero for now, and I found Axl. I'm happy.


Don't know if I'll be able to go to Anime USA after all. But I definitely am going to next year's Animazement, no matter what. Cosplays I was talking about doing for Anime USA will also still be worked on, to take to Animazement.


NaNo is... stalled. Hopefully I can get some writing done on it today though.

This is a drabble for an RP world with my friends, particularly Mew as one of her characters appears alongside one of mine. I guess you could call it a Megaman fic; it's based off a log we were doing last night. Basically all you need to know for this is that the Classic universe exists as a parallel world that they maintain frequent contact with, and that Dr. Light's latest creation X is visiting for a time to gain experience from the wide range of fighters and their values that live here.

Heck, you don't even need much Megaman knowledge at all; so long as you get the whole robot thing, that should be enough. XD Although I may have lied a little about the Laws of Robotics thing, but oh well. Keep in mind it is a drabble though, and one I wrote at 4 AM at that. So yeah, I'm pretty much procrastinating on NaNo. Don't judge me XDXD

EDIT: Now without HTML fail!

( There's something odd about the new visitor... )

I finally, FINALLY found Megaman X Command Mission. I've been looking for this game for 3 years, because I didn't feel like buying it online. I found it once about a year ago, but by the time I had funds to go get it it was gone. So yeah, I'm happy that I finally found this game. It's an X game I can actually play!

Yeah, no one cares XD But I'm happy. I'm also COLD x____X I forgot how freezing the computer corner gets.


Found some new CDs today at a thrift store. And we got a new lamp on Craigslist. Both pretty nice xDD


3,044. I'm being blown away by some of the others I know doing NaNo, but I'm happy with my pace. Now if I could just figure out where to go next...

Okay so yes this is an LJ RP ad. But it's for my RP, which I've recently gone and revamped. I'm just going to stick the profile summary in here so I don't kill any layouts with the actual code; the profile itself has all the info you could ever need. People on my f-list who RP around LJ, please at least check it out?

Oh! And for those that remember the last time I pumped Psychosocial, it's different now. I've redone the story and given the whole thing an overhaul, so if you looked before and decided against it, I think it might deserve a second glance? XD So uhm, yeah. Have fun.


Psychosocial
1. refers to mental health and social conditions, or factors that affect psychological or social well-being
2. having both psychological and social aspects

It all started in an unknown year, in a city tucked far away. There scientists toiled with things unheard of, taking outlandish theories that even crazy people with tinfoil hats threw aside, trying to make them real. Alternate universes. The ability to not only travel time, but manipulate it and warp it. The belief that if someone imagined it, it would come into being on another plane.

Crazy, right? Until each and every one of those was proven right.

Turns out, there is something out there. Hundreds, thousands, MILLIONS of other universes, countless alternate realities that even the scientists hadn't dared to dream of. Their findings were amazing, and they hoped to turn the scientific community on its head. Except... they didn't. They were laughed at, and their ideas and experiments were thrown away. However no good scientist lets the teasing of their peers get them down, and this fringe group was no exception. This is where you come in.

Your day may have started out innocently enough. Sitting down to check your e-mail you noticed a strange message in there. "I need your help." Spam, right? Wrong. This is an e-mail from one of the scientists, who have found out some way to contact your world, to contact you. The message goes on to describe their problem and what you have to do. It's no big deal really, just make occasional posts to a journal community that's already been set up for the purpose. There's nowhere to go and no dangers to face. In fact, they even agree to compensate you for your time and patience. Maybe you waffle back and forth on the decision for a while, maybe you jump right in, or maybe you just get tired of the constant flood of e-mails about it. Either way you join the community, and make your first post. Simple, right?

Maybe not as simple as it seems. Welcome to the experiment.

Okay, I know I was just about to go to bed, and I KNOW I've been updating a lot lately, especially with Megaman stuff. But then, it IS me. But I just had to put this in. Emphasis mine.

"Rockman Megamix (ロックマンメガミックス, Rockman Megamix) is a Mega Man manga drawn by Hitoshi Ariga. Megamix vol. 1 will be released in the US as Mega Man Megamix by Udon Entertainment. It will be available sometime between January-February 2010, and is currently available for preorder on Amazon."


Forgive me other MM people if I'm a little slow on the uptake, but I'm just now finding this out. And I have this to say: SDOPIHDGOPIUD <3 <3 <3

Oh please let the others follow. I've been searching for volume 2 for YEARS, and I'd adore having a copy of volume 3 in English.


Okay yeah, dorkiness over. The caffeine I had earlier (what? I was cold, and we only had coffee not hot chocolate xD ) is wearing off and I'm tired.

Aaaagh, something occurred to me earlier while I was playing Power Fighters, but now I don't remember what that was ><; Oh well. FINALLY beat Iceman in Battle and Chase though, but I don't think I'll ever get past Napalmman x__X The factory track kicks my ass.


On an unrelated note, I don't think I'll put my NaNo stuff in my journal. If it requires the absorption of four years worth of backstory beforehand to the outside reader, it ain't worth it. That doesn't mean I'm going to stop writing the RP-verse guide.. thing.. I mentioned in an edit to my last entry, but it just won't be as a supplement to my NaNo fic. It's nice just to get out all that stuff about that particular world xD

I will never, ever stop loving the sound of Giro's "theme" Awake, especially the way it begins. When it starts playing in the ending of ZX, and you see just what's going on... Oh god, it's one of the few times I've ever cried for a video game. I've come close countless times. But I bawl without fail at the ending of Megaman ZX.

"Tonight, in order to refresh my mind on a character's personality, I replayed the beginning of Megaman ZX, for the benefit of RP. And I don't know whether it's just the night I had (utterly infusing myself with this guy, I mean) or my personality, but when it got to... what happens to him, I found myself deeply affected. I've played ZX multiple times, have gone through this scenario many many times, but tonight... Tonight I wonder, "Is it okay to cry at a video game?"

But then, given how many people you hear about how they reacted to Aeris, or to countless other moments, I suppose the answer is "Yes"... And you know him for such a short time in the game, but his presence continues to permeate it, extending into the second one (or maybe that's just me). It may sound weird to mourn over someone you experience for such a short time.

And yet... Here I am, at 5-something in the morning, sap that I am, sitting here with my eyes wet and wishing I could materialize his inner voice for just a moment so I can give him a hug, and tell him "I'll remember"..."


I went to go find that one just for the ending, but I forgot it was also the one where I mentioned I'd cried at it. Heh. I was listening to Awake when I did that entry, too...


2,077 words. A small start, but a solid one.
Edit: I've started an RP guide to the universe I'm using for NaNoWriMo, for people to read so they can understand the novel if I ever post the WIP (because yes, the universe is THAT expansive; it has four years of play people). A few supplemental guides existed already for the purposes of the players' reference, but now I'm filling in the blanks for benefit of those not familiar with the world xD

So, for the first time ever I'm attempting NaNoWriMo. So far I've got about 1345 words (which is pretty good if you ask me, since I only started an hour ago or so xDD ). Maybe I can actually do it. Wish me luck, guys!

It took me FOREVER to think of a topic for my novel, though x__X I finally went with an off-LJ RP plotline that only a small handful of people would ever be interested in reading, or even get, but it's not like I'm writing with the public in mind XD

Edit: Now with profile link and updated synopsis for my... thing. XD

Besides that, icon has it oh so right. Halloween at work yesterday was MURDER, and today was a shift that went on much too long on its own. I hate floor moves. I know, whine whine bitch bitch blahblahblah. You know how they say "put your nose to the grindstone"? Well I feel like the grindstone caught my hair, dragged me up into the machinery and turned me into CB!powder. Just add water; I make delightful biscuits. Seriously though, breaktime for me, and I'm happy for it.


Ennnh. I've got comments on the love meme to get to and tags to do, and modly stuff to attempt to do at another RP, and things to write and a new RP journal to furnish, and to check what the hell you get from the Gaia event and... Blah. I'll get to it later tonight. Right now all I'm going to do is veg on the couch for a while. ...And Firefox does not recognize "veg" as a misspelled word. That's randomly amusing xDD

Happy Halloween, everybody
(The EXE fans on my f-list should hopefully get a kick out of that. And shut up, it's still Halloween in other timezones XD )


I got Good Eats: The Early Years today. Despite it being my most expensive book purchase ever, I think it was more than worth it what with the recipes, and show insights and the like. No idea what I'm gonna do with the poster that came with it, though xDD


Sigh, I was going to watch NMBC tonight, but I wound up crashing on the couch after I got home from work. Ah well, maybe later.


Edit: You know, I wonder what would happen if I pulverized Dum Dum heads and put them in a sugar cookie batter. Also, this:
