I got a haircut ^_^

2008-01-09T01:27:42Z

So yeah...I got a haircut! It was waaay past time. My hair is usually long and I never have time to do anything with it except put it up in a bun, but I got some of it chopped. My head actually feels less heavy o_O Now it won't take nearly as long to straighten. Yaaay!

Also I was recently searching around eBay for art books and then I remembered how much I lurved the original art for Sailor Moon. I found some of the books for it, but they were ultra expensive,no real surprise there. So I continued my search through the vast interwebs and found this absolute gem of a website where you can get gorgeous scans like this...

It's Hotaru! Go here for more: http://mangastyle.net/artbooks.htm

Well hello there LJ! Long time no see ^_^

2008-01-07T03:08:50Z

Holy crap I just remembered I had one of these. Wait what is it? Like some kind of blog type thingy? Hmmm... this requires some further inspection.
Anywho, since my recent internet activity has been nothing more than one random info/fic search after another let me recap some events of my winter break.
- I made cookies! Yaaay!And they were entirely edible! Whoot! I made some snowballs(russian teacakes, whatev) and some chocolate covered peanut butter balls. THE first cookies I have ever made solo. My mom, grandpa, and aunt enjoyed in any case.
-Things I got for Christmas: $Money$, a scarf and some gloves that match my coat,this really fancy dvd selector case that holds 100 discs. It's sooo cool and hard to describe, so heres a pic

I also got some fuzzy socks and a comfy fleece blanket, and a giftcard to borders.
So yeah a decent Christmas and my birthday is right around the corner ^_^
-I've spent some nice quality time with my grandpa. We watched Dante's Peak, Jurassic Park, and part of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, since they were on TV. I mean Dante's Peak was so so but entertaining. Then Jurassic Park came on and we just got sucked into it O_o, but there was popcorn so everything was cool.
-Been trying to force myself to do things like play video games and clean my room, but I keep getting sucked in to the TV or the internet. Think I'll at least try and finish up my Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney games. I <3 those games ~_~
-Last but certainly not least I must pimp this fantastic LJ group thepinkpanzer they are a group devoted to Scanlating older 70's-ish BL manga, one of which is From Eroica With Love. They also have the 1st chapter of the Plus Ultra art book. Sweet group check them out ^_^
Thats about it so ta ta for now!

Nearing the end of my summer classes and GASP updating my journal?

2007-07-06T20:09:56Z

Summer classes are nearly done! Whoot! Now all I have to take is Essential Computing 1 and World Geography. I'm enjoying the appartment and making a bit of money so everything is pretty decent @ the moment.
I'm also anxiously awaiting the 5th Harry Potter movie, and freaking out about the last book coming out. Actually I just read Half-Blood Prince despite having gotten it right when it came out. LOL! I never even read the first book until after I saw the first 3 movies. Honestly as much as I love Harry Potter it'll be nice to be able to move on with my life. Too many questions, too many fabulous characters! IS SNAPE GOOD OR EVIL!? Ahhhh!*takes a deep breath, lets it out slowly*

Anyway, surfing around youtube I found a hilarious clip that all you Jeeves and Wooster fans will appreciate. Apparently Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie had their own sketch show. Heres a clip...

One more final to go!!!

2007-05-09T19:12:46Z

I am currently passing all my classes and kicking ass on my finals ~_~ WHOOT! I must get back in touch with my friends from home so we can hang out. I'll only be home for a week before I take summer classes, but hopefully I can at least pop over and say word up. Now all I have to do is move all my crap back home @_@

I LOOOOOVE THE KENTUCKY DERBY!!!

2007-05-05T22:38:49Z

Street Sense won the Kentucky Derby ^_^ It was exciting as always and the horses who were supposed to win did. They had more coverage on celebs in attendence than what I would have liked, but there really weren't many interesting stories they could have filled the pre-show with anyway. Hopefully Street Sense will be able to take the rest of the Tripple Crown *cheers*

I now have a paid account. Yaaaay! I can have even more userpics and such! ^_^

"How does I write fanfic?" lol

2007-05-04T19:18:36Z

Now how will I write my first fanfic? Hmmm, I've been tossing quite a few ideas around for some Eroica fic, but maybe I should try and write a few practice drabbles about a more familiar fave like gundam wing or saiyuki. *grabs nearest notebook and starts to scribble in it furiously*
Oh! and I found this decent clip for POTC:AWE. I think I got it off of the whore4hector comm. Captain Barbossa fights Mercer for like a split second and it looks sooo kewl. I can hardly wait until it comes out.

A new header sqeee

2007-05-04T05:14:06Z

Yaaay! I made my own header. Kinda shotty I know, but hey it fits waaay better than my Saiyuki one . Word up!

I made some icons Yaaay!

2007-05-04T01:20:04Z

They're all for From Eroica With Love and most of them turned out pretty nicely since I haven't really done this in awhile. Enjoy and please give credit where credit is due ^_^

You should be seeing some nice icons(or at least pics that can be used for this purpose ^_^;). The Klaus ones turned out particularly well in my opinion. Now if only I had and animation shop ^_^
Oh! and please give me some feedback it'll be some of the first that I've had *squeee*

Just a note: I got the lovely pics I used from dunkle_feuer's webpage yaoifun.com which has a wonderful section for Eroica and some great fanfiction that she's written. A bow before her superiorness. Thank you ~_~

Hmmm...

2007-05-03T03:59:38Z

Well this doesn't look too shabby ^_^ I'll keep it like this for now and work on getting some actual stuff on here. Maybe I'll try to make some icons for my fave comms.

Ooooh

2007-05-03T02:31:29Z

trippy background is TRIPPY! ~_~

so yeaaaah...

2007-04-29T19:26:31Z

It seems that along with everything else I've lost track of my LJ was w/ it at the time. I will work on remedying this *serious business face*

Thank god for Comedy Central!

2006-07-21T16:45:35Z

Patton Oswalt is soooo funny and it's the only thing good to watch on the TV. I love the angry steakhouse commercial bit. And the apocalypse ^_^

I was watching CNN for news about Israel getting ready to send ground troops to Lebanon but it's just a lot of talking heads and their speculation. Doesn't look like we're doing too much about that though. *shrugs* Who knows. What upsets me the most about all the politics and conflicts (aside from the civilian casualties) is that we will probably never know everything behind all of it. I'll never get over that we know what happened in the past and that we're unable to keep ourselves from repeating it. *sighs* History is such a bitch.

*goes and looks for a few comms to join*

SUCESS!!! :D

2006-07-20T19:38:22Z

OH YEAH! The cut works! *dances madly* Now it's onward to make friends and post things ^_^ Woo Hoo!!!

Trying to do my first lj-cut

2006-07-20T19:30:25Z

Okay my first lj-cut. Behind the link there should be a pic. Yeah

There should be a lovely picture of a painting here or a link to it at least ^_^; oh well

Officially a Norrington fan ~_~

2006-07-19T00:37:13Z

Just wanted to let anyone who has wandered by here know I haven't died ^_^; Right now I'm toggling around my custom settings and trying to write a fic involving some original characters. Also after seeing Norrington in POTC:DMC I LOVE HIM!!!! The scruffiness looks good on him yeah? Anyway I'm off to figure out how this stuff works, later!

A new pretty icon as edited by your truly

2006-06-13T03:57:54Z

Look at this lovely little pic ^_^

Yes I love Dee/Ryo , not to mention FAKE as a whole. Thank you Sanami Matoh
If you use this pic as a user pic, as I surly will, a little credit would tickle me pink ~_~

I'm a graduate! Head for the hills!

2006-06-12T01:54:42Z

Look out world I've graduated! Yup as of June 9th I'm an adult and as our speaker said, in other words, I am responsible for my own actions and the stuff that happens as a result of them. Yeah that's not gonna work out ^^; But hey it's on to college! (in like, September)
As for my dreams of writiting readable fan fiction, I've been attacked by an interesting plot bunny. I'll write it for FAKE since it's really the only fandom I can think of, that I'm familiar with, that it isn't too outlandish for. The plot bunny itself...well if I told it wouldn't be as fun. Plus it would best be posted in a Ryo/Dee or FAKE fandom community, if such a place exists.
I leave you with one word: laundry ^_^

Be patient darlings!!! ~_~

2006-06-08T05:32:39Z

Hey you! If you've happened by my LJ and it looks a little barren don't you worry ^_^
Pretty soon there just might be a fanfic or two on this baby and some fun and random daily comments about my days. Hope you like my user pic,it's the first one I've made ^_^,
