I don't mean to neglect LJ, I swear. College life is...college I guess. Lots of info, still putting work off to the last minute. ORGO IS TERRIBLE. :/ We finally took our first test last Monday. Class average was 52 I believe. And our wonderful professor taught us after the test and quizzed us. We are so mad far behind it's not funny. I wonder who's fault that is for giving us Monday night classes with two different Monday holidays. *stare* He was "so disappointed in our grades and was going to give us the next test off if we did well." Guess what? Another test next week. *headxdesk* Genetics tested us the same week and I feel like all us science majors were just dead.

I've been trading off between games, so my progress isn't so great. I borrowed The World Ends With You and still haven't finished that. ^^; I'm almost there though. I just beat KH again because I have friends who have no idea what it is/have never seen the ending. And then we went to the mall and got Re:Chain. XD So that'll get started again at some point. I have a file for Tales of the Abyss started too. Not far in that at all. XD;

Speaking of the mall an shopping in general, I've been picking up random pieces for cosplays all over. There's a pair of white and black gloves, a huge thing of blood, yet another white button-up shirt, and a solid black tie. (Finally.)

ALSO. I really do not fail at videogames this much. I have been reading way too many DC Comics courtesy of my roommate

[info]g33kischic . I blame you. XD

 

I finally finished buying all of Chibi Vampire! Okay, technically Emily bought it all and gave it to me. But still! It is complete~ Got volumes 2 and 3 of xxxHolic and the first volume of Monster. I have no idea why I did that to myself. ._.;

Speaking of Holic... DUDE MORE AND WHAT IS GOING ON. D: CLAMP, you are so mean. The life snippets are hilarious/love. But I'm just not pleased with how this went. :/

Edit: WAIT ONE MORE THING. WE DIDN'T SCREW UP OUR ORGANIC CHEMISTRY LAB FOR ONCE. It has been SEVEN weeks of lab. ONCE, just once, have we done the damn thing right and didn't have to say "Well, we tried and messed up really bad and got 440% of our substance back. Somehow."

Okay, quick update. Spent the weekend at WNEC and it was pretty much absolutely awesome. There was Rock Band and Beatles Rock Band and frisbee tossing and bad movies aka Contagion and Crank: High Voltage. Saturday was The Big E and I find it highly overrated. It was fun, just not as much as the hype led me to believe. BUT I did buy stuff and am really pleased with it. Necklaces are my favorite piece of jewelry.

Orgo is going to be a challenge. There is only so long I can bang out lab reports the night before and get away with drawing in his class. I do not regret it for a minute though. Otherwise, there would not be a picture of an octopus with a top hat, mustache, monocle and cane singing under the ocean.

What has surprised you the most about me (if anything) since joining my flist? Was anything completely unexpected or have I always fit the picture of me you have in your head? Post this in your own journal and see how you have surprised people!

So apparently, they use the riding mower in the back of my dorm, for the 3 feet strip of grass between the building and the parking lot. And apparently grass can fly through screens easily.

The only thing we can say is "Holy crap how has this not happened before?" We've been here since the end of August and the windows have yet to be fully closed since we moved in.


Also, I got a meme that's been sitting here for ages. And is STILL not done. XD;

Back to the lake again! The boat and most of the docks were put away already, but that's okay. We pretty much had a dance party and then kayaked to a sandbar and hung out there for awhile. I never put on sunscreen (Yes, I know. Not smart.) because I really very rarely ever burn. I am far more sunburned than I thoguht I was. It amuses me. It's all over my upper arms and shoulders. They don't hurt. It's just funny.

[info]karen_moonlight  brought me back down to the lake. There was no epic boat problems. I did totally wuss out on trying water skiing though. We grabbed the tube and did that for awhile. There was some pretty ridiculous wipeouts. My first one, eh, didn't hurt, wasn't that notable. My second one they didn't get on tape. But according to the other 5 people on the boat, i went straight up into the air, kinda did a somersault type thing, and hit the water face first. Ivan was out of the water by a good 6-7 feet when he let go and flew. There were other good ones, but those are what I remember. It was fun. XD My inner ear is killing me though, probably from th hard hit on the water. Head x Water = Painful OTP

So... I have a friend. He's awesome. I really like the guy, as a friend. Like, we'll have random conversations about stupid things. We'll have serious ones. We'll say crazy stuff. He's my closest male friend.

Well, he just im-ed me and said he was going to be more true to himself. And proceeds to tell me everything that I believed, that he told me he liked and was into is all a lie. He just wanted to fit in. I am devastated over this. So, I tell him I need time to adjust to this. He didn't understand and it went like this.

"Do you know who you are?"
"I always went with the crowd. I don't know who am. I never have."
"So, how can I know who you are if you don't?"

I really kind of hate him for lying to me for, what, 4-5 years now. I thought we were close. He knows I hate people who try to fit in instead of being themselves. He fucking KNOWS that. I really hate him for lying to me for so long.

On the other hand, I can understand, logically, where he's coming from. I've never fit in. So when I finally found my niche, it was absolutely precious to me. I wouldn't do a damn thing to compromise that. And... I really do appreciate him for telling me the truth. I'm just really goddamn confused, and I feel more than a little betrayed.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR A 12 VOLUME MANGA TO BE COMPLETED?! DDD:

Seriously, am I asking too much for assuming that the Evangelion manga would be completed by now? Thoroughly denied.

I am also trying to figure out if Shinji's relationship with Kaworu is more homosexual in the anime or the manga. I'm weird like that.



On a completely different note: the urge to write and nothing coming to mind is frustrating as all hell. Neither fanfiction or original work are working. :/

I am leaving in... two hours for Toronto to visit my family there. My net status will be unknown, not that I think I'll have anything to say anyway. But still. I'm sad I'm missing DnD Sunday though. :/ We won't be back until late that night so I can't make it. Also, televisions are heavy. Do not let one drop while you are still holding onto it.

*insert obligatory Bleach flailing here* D: That man is entirely too good at keeping people, or at least me, on the edge of our seats.

summer friending meme


We bought Boiler Room on Sunday! I was so excited to find a copy. It's this movie my Personal Finance class watched a couple years ago and it's about stocks and fraud and overall business geekery on my part. It sounds really boring/uninteresting, I know, but it isn't. I also got my hair cut and you can actually see the hair I colored way back when now. XD Oh, and I haven't mentioned this, but I feel like I need to add SOMETHING to my LJ during the summer, really. So my mom's basically using our insurance to the fullest while we still have it, and took me to the chiropractor. You know, just to see where I stand. Apparently I have an extra vertebrae, which doesn't mean anything really. It's just interesting. What IS medically relevant is the fact my spine isn't curving the right way up in my neck. Like, it should look like ) but it looks like | instead. I'm having sessions to fix it and it doesn't hurt. It's just, well, if you found out your spine was bending the wrong way you'd be concerned too, right?

I LEFT MY HOUSE TODAY

XD This does not happen often. So [info]karen_moonlight  called and asked if I wanted to go to her grandparents house in Lakeville. I said yes and so we get there, get stuff ready and she started water-skiing. One of her brothers is on the jetski and the other two are in the boat with me. She trades off and Joe gets a turn. Well, there are rocks in the lake. Which are supposed to be marked. We kinda hit one and oh snap the boat jerks and Karen and I see something about the size of a person's hand fly up and almost hit Joe. We're like, well this isn't gonna work anymore. We get the boat going slow to a sandbar and try to check out the propeller. BTW, it's busted and wouldn't move up for us to check it in the middle of the water. Turns out, all three blades are gone. That's the end of that. So we get back to the dock and decide to grab kayaks and a canoe and go to this river. We get, I'm guessing, halfway there before one of her brothers comes up on the jetski again and tells us there's a storm coming. We get back, put the stuff away and the damn comes out. XD It was an eventful day.

Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.

given by [info]radiopowered 

Ru Paul's Drag Race: Made my freaking night when me and Roach found it channel surfing at like 2 AM on a Tuesday. Instant hook, because drag queens? In competition? HELL YES. I'm not too pleased with some of the decisions they made, but this series was love for the, what, 7-ish episodes it took to finish. And Shannel's ass? UM DAMN

One Piece: Crack. Amazing crack. Amazing crack that can not be denied. I love it. So much. It can not disappoint because it's that cracktastically amazing. All my other manga can leave me going "Eh okay chapter." This will either make my day or leave me screaming "MORE I CAN'T WAIT." I love the characters I love the WTF abilities I love seeing where they're gonna go and surprises he throws in are like OMG NO but he's laid the seeds down for this and it's just amazing.

Genshiken: I have no idea how I got into this. I think I picked a random manga and went for it. I just remember starting it and hitting the end and moaning about the lack of more. I love it; I love how it takes such different characters and stereotypes and has them interact and bond and overcome all the challenges/issues that people can run into. I'm usually really iffy on slice-of-life manga but this is definitely one I really am glad I got into.

Hughes: WHY HUGHES WHY D: I love him. So much. He's my second favorite FMA character, because I have a soft spot for Havoc. Actually, I think they tend to switch places on me. Hughes and Havoc are so much love. And he figured it out so early on and he's such a dork about his family, but he cares so much and he can be badass like woah and oh Hughes whyyyyy. N-nazi Hughes I'm not so much a fan of... ._.; But I can blame it on AU.

Kaiba/Jounouchi: Oh YGO. <3 You are so old and I still love you. Puppyshipping was my first OTP....possibly ever. I love love/hate relationships. And they are so similar in some ways I just HAD to ship them. There is also elaborate explanations of how my personality is pretty much the same as a lovechild of the two would be somewhere in my guild on Gaia. I will spare you f-list as I am sure none of you care. XD

Does anyone else notice/find it funny that four out of five of these things are anime/manga related? XD

Reply to this post, and I will list three or more things I like about you. Then repost to your own journal to spread the love.



Legit, nothing interesting happens during the summer. I was on an old school manga kick and read about half of Sailor Moon and all of GTO recently. But then somehow got distracted by the Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro anime. And oh god, One Piece's insanity decided it wanted attention so I've been re-reading that for like the 5th time. I picked up this JyuuSena fic I was writing like six months ago and started on that again. Still can't find a job, but I'm not surprised. My mom wants me and my brother to start selling off stuff on Ebay since she's a take-everything-that's-remotely-usuable-home rat and we have finally run out of room. I have 4 computer chairs in my room. And no, I have NO idea how that happened. o_o That's all I  can think about that's remotely interesting.

It's like a voicepost, but not. I didn't want to make a legit one but wanted to recap quickly and when I type I make it perfect and it's a hassle.

SO

if you care to learn what i did, or at least an overview, download and listen. If not, hey, whatever. We're still good.

WHY IS PACKING SO HARD?

Really, I thought I was done twice already and it turned out I wasn't. *blames the four cosplays and accessories*

But holy crap, Anime Boston in like a day.

The only downside I can see to the hotel room is I will not be getting my webcomics and manga updates when I usually do. But I think a convention makes up for that.

TODAY WAS MEANT TO BE

I found a jacket for Sven Vollfied. For TEN DOLLARS. WTF OMG it's amazing. I got fabric for Belial's bow thing, fabric for Sven's hat and overall just a bunch of cheap clothes that I highly approve of. And to top it off, Emily managed to find the makeup I need for Belial too. We are good for a Belial appearance at AB. Yesterday I snagged a bandanna for Kawada and wire for Walter. Now all I have to do is figure out who's showing up and for how long during the con. XD;
