So, most of yesterday was spent being sick. I think it was what I had for lunch. The only thing left in the house was these frozen buffalo-style chicken snack things. I can't handle spicy foods, and about an hour after I ate I was about ready to die, my stomach hurt so bad. Woke up feeling better though, which is good as Tiff and her fiancee are supposed to come over and we're going to bbq. Most of my energy will be spent keeping my dad away from the grill (he turns everything into charcoal, I don't know how he does it). After I have to go to the library and try and find the book for my research paper.

Been playing on Sword of the New World again. Forgot how much fun it was, especially considering it's a hell of a lot less crowded with bots than it used to be. I've been spending most of my time in Torsche's mansion, trying to get the parts to make the Catherine doll so I can have her as a character, and her hips just won't drop. I might end up buying them on the market, but they're usually about 5-6 million. Really don't want to spend that much, so I hope they drop at some point before I move on.

Ugh, lots of RP stuff I need to do. Which will get done after my sojourn to the library. I should make a list, but I'm far too brain dead at the moment.

Ugh, I had such a horrible migraine yesterday. I came home from school, took something, slept, got up and ate, then went back to sleep. Feeling better this morning, but good god, that's the worst migraine I've had in a long time.

New classes started up yesterday. Got three big projects due at the end of term:

-Design and build a game (level?) in XNA
-Put together my portfolio
-Write a 10 page research paper

I chose Nintendo to do my research paper over, because there's so much stuff on the company. My teacher was saying I'd have a hard time narrowing down what I was going to put in there, but he's never seen me write a paper. I was originally planning to be an English major, after all. I can turn out large papers in nothing flat (and have them be pretty good). My portfolio's going to be the hardest thing. I'm supposed to have three professional references, no relatives. I have no professional references. I'm going to have to dig through my Girl Scout contacts and see if I can use any of them. Laaaaaame.

Need to stop by the video store after school today, see if they have GTA IV out to rent. It comes out today (to buy) but video rental places are weird on releasing games. Blah. If there's some little kid there taking the last copy, I'm gonna beat him with the box and steal it.

Iiii think I'm going to go take a nap. It's only five and I'm already dragging my ass behind me.

Man, everything happens after I go to bed. If I hadn't gone to sleep so early I would have been half-delirious at school today, though, which I can't afford. Finals are next week, and I have to finish my player model, work out stories for both her and my original weapon for the presentations, finish animating Monkey Boy (thank GOD this computer can run Blender), and build and program the damn robot. WHOSE INSANE IDEA WAS IT TO HAVE TWO CLASSES AT THE SAME TIME?! Ugh. And I have so much RP stuff to do too. I should make a list. I think I will.

THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE HOURS IN THE DAY

Finally got my new computer. The only complaint I have is with Vista. It keeps doing weird things. I think it's possessed by the souls of dead Mac owners or something. Like, Opera keeps freezing up for about 15 to 30 seconds randomly. And it does it a lot. Whenever I'm away from the computer, it'll put itself into sleep mode. That's fine, that's what I set it to do. HOWEVER. It also takes itself OUT of sleep mode. (Sorry about the fake out, Tessa!) I don't know wtf it's doing.

Lately I've felt tired all the time. Like, you know how you feel right before you sleep? That's how I feel. I've had to push myself to do any work or talk to people because my brain just shuts itself off. I think I might be overworking myself or something. School's been putting a lot of stress on me lately. Hopefully, since I can run Blender on this computer, that'll decrease.

fdjaklfjas STOP FREEZING UP, OPERA! JESUS CHRIST!

Anyway.

I need to tweak my Charlie app for Sigillums and work on my apps and that Blender model for Converging this week. Maybe I'll sleep more on Wednesday, see if that helps any.

Ugh. Seriously, people. It's an RP. Shit happens. Urgh, where'd thing thing I quoted at Lauren go...

"Characters will die; Weaponbirthers will explode. Neutrals, Angels, and Seals will bite the big one, as well as Kamui and Gemini (although usually later). This is a war. There will be casualties."

It's nothing to get seriously upset over. Yeah, I can see being shocked. It's a big deal, a lot of characters and barriers and whatnot is.... shit, just lost my train of thought (three hours of sleep ftw). Anyway, shit goes down. This is just more shit at one time. Besides the fact that it's the mods doing it. Uhhhhhhhhh, aren't they the heads of the game? Seems to me that if this is something they want to do, they will do it. I know people've complained about it being 'slow and boring' or something, and now that they try and do something you want to complain it's 'too much'? Make up your minds, seriously.

That all being said, I return to my original statement. It's an RP. If you're really, truly upset over it? Step away from your computer, go outside, flash a passing car, do jumping jacks, something. RP is not life. Yes, it's important, but it is not the be all end all. There are a lot of things in real life that are a lot more important, but everyone seems to be blinded to this when they get too focused on one thing.

This isn't an April Fool's Day joke or something. It's just me with too little sleep and too much annoyance over the drama RP shit has been causing the past few days. Honestly? Grow up. I'm tired of coming home to see wank. IT'S. NOT. THAT. IMPORTANT.

Spent most of yesterday (and probably most of today) with Tiff, so I missed the start of the strike. I think it's kind of silly, but that's what makes us, as the human race, so great because we can all have different opinions. What's important to some might not be so important to others. So for those of you who are participating in the strike, I say good job for standing up for something you believe in. For the rest of us - WHERE'S THE POPCORN?

( Ramblings about Assassin's Creed )

Also, EVERYONE SHOULD READ NEURO. It is an awesome manga and you're all missing out, fo' serious.

Kim! I might be gone most of the day today too, so if I don't email you guys today I will tomorrow.

I think... that is it.

Dentist appointment today.

;___________;

I just couldn't pass this up.

The rules
01. Compose a list of YOUR top ten sexiest famous men.
02. Collect one picture of each guy on your list.
03. Post them in your journal.
04. Tag five people to do the same.

( Here there be dragons )

Everyone should do it.

There are so many things I want to say. But for post lucky number thirteen, there is only one thing:

HOLY CRAP THERE IS SNOW EVERYWHERE! SCHOOL IS CANCELED! HELLZ YES!

Hooked up my new mouse yesterday. It's a wireless, pink, Hello Kitty mouse. It matches my Hello Kitty mousepad. Omg I'm a dork.

( tl;dr )

Good god, that was a long rant. I think I'm done for now. I might do that photobucket meme when I get back home. Time to go reply to stuff and finish up my textures.

Also! Don't forget to send in apps for the beta of WoE!

It isn't finished yet, but! War of Emperium is going into beta! Lauren and I want to give this a test run. Over the next week we will be finishing the wiki and the userinfo for the main comm, and accepting applications. Then on Saturday, March 1st, we will open for beta. This is not the official opening, that will be in May. Instead, through March and April, it will be a stripped down version. There won't be WoE or special events for at least the first month. The character limit will be three for the beta, instead of the five stated in the rules. We want to give people a chance to test this out on a limited basis, so they don't feel pressured to keep up with a lot of stuff. We want everyone to give us feedback and participate in polls, so that when we do officially open the game it will be the best game we can put out.

At the end of the beta, everyone will have the option of either keeping their characters, or 'resetting' or 'deleting' ones that they don't like. If you find that you don't like the job you picked for a particular character, then you can reset them and make them a different job. Or if you don't like them, period, you can delete them, which unlike killing them it completely wipes them out, as if they never existed. These two options will ONLY be available at the end of the beta. In regular gameplay, resetting and deleting will not be allowed. But this is supposed to be a trial run, to work out the bugs and kinks, and so it's not set in stone.

If you're interested, please, fill out the application and send it in. You can apply for characters all through the beta, up until the last two weeks, so if you don't get it in before Saturday it's fine. If you have any questions, you can ask either me or Lauren and we'll answer them as best we can.

I gots tagged, yo.

List ten things that recently made you happy, then tag ten people to do the same.

1. My two best friends (one of whom is on my flist - you know who you are~). I love my friends more than anything, and even though I don't have many of them, that makes them all the more special.
2. My new friends! I've met some wonderful people since joining DofF.
3. Roleplay. Though it has its ups and downs, it's been my favorite way to express myself creatively for eleven years now.
4. My mom.
5. Sukiyaki Western Django. SHIT OR GET OFF THE POT.
6. My bff, Tiffany, choosing me as her maid of honor.
7. My new bookcase!
8. My new classes! Lego robot GO GO GO!
9. My new crush (non-celebrity, as I have one of those every other week). Yes, he has a girlfriend. Yes, it would never happen in a million years, but it's nice to feel like a teenager again.
10. Diet Chocolate Cherry Dr. Pepper.

I tag... THE WORLD!

This will probably be a little scattered, so bear with me.

FINALLY done with homework. Now I can go reply to that log. Toph is angry at me for making her wait so long. Shuttup, Toph, nobody likes you.

I've also been working on an RP with Lauren. You can check out the wiki here. It's, er, not quite finished (obviously), but the basics are up there. I'll post again on it when we actually get more stuff done.

Tiff wanted to go out and take pictures for her wedding invitations today (she called me yesterday saying this). We'll probably do it sometime this weekend. Why not today, you ask? Because the omg winter storm shit that will never fucking end swear to god went through here again. It started this morning and it's supposed to last until tomorrow afternoon.

Um um um. Think that's it for now.

I've been meaning to make an actual post for days (and days and days) but uh, have a meme instead. (I swear I'l make a real post tomorrow.)

1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.

( So three guys walk into a bar... )

Woke up at a little after seven again this morning. Is it too much to ask to be able to sleep in late on my vacation? Urgh.

So, I got inspired by one of my RP characters and I started listening to opera again. I'm trying to learn Der Hölle Rache (the second aria the Queen of the Night sings in The Magic Flute). The German is absolutely killing me and causing me to lose my place in the score because I can't tell what the woman's singing half the time. It doesn't help any that I suck at sight reading.

Avatar crack for anyone who hasn't seen it.

So, it was sleeting and raining earlier, and now it's thundering (can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder~). We've got a winter storm warning. Joy of joys. My mom's staying home today it's so bad out there. And she never misses work unless she absolutely has to. Apparently the streets are all iced over, so I'm glad she's not going anywhere. Alot of the cable stations are messed up or out completely. I was going to watch Shanghai Noon, but TBS thwarted me. Damn you, TBS!

It sucks waking up this early. Why does everyone sleep in so late. ;_;

I got maybe three or four hours of sleep, as I spent most of last night tossing and turning and coughing. I usually take medicine, but Nyquil makes me really drowsy the next day and I have school. Although at this point, I'm probably going to fall asleep on my keyboard anyway.

Ugh. Thirty minutes before I have to go take a shower. Think I will play some more DOMO. For those of you who like MMORPGs, DOMO (Dream of Mirror Online) is very nice. You should check it out. Like totally.

I need more icons. Too much space to fill.

EDIT: So I get over to the school and have to slide my way across the parking lot to find out that school was canceled. Okay, cool. I wasn't feeling up to doing anything today anyway. I get home, and my mom says that two minutes after I left, they announced it with the rest of the school closings. GREAT. THANK YOU, NEWS STATION, FOR BEING SO PROMPT WITH THAT. (For those of you going 'wtf?', it's really icy here.)

I have been epic sick as of late, but I think I'm starting to get over it. Somewhat. I still sound like I'm coughing up a hairball.

So, uh, got my 'massive' project done. My head's fuzzy right now so I'll probably forget to take it to school tomorrow, but I have it done!

We started a computer and gaming club. I got appointed secretary. Bah, I say. Bah. But, we might get to go to competitions, so I'm totally stoked about that.

I never want to work on Unreal Tournament ever again. Ever. Ever. I don't care how cool UT 99999 Mega Edition X will be. Never. Again.

Also, welcome to all the new people. Mind your step and watch out for the tentacle monster.
