My Klaus Von Dem Eberback Sim sounds alot like Koyasu Takehito. This clearly means that if Japan ever does a "From Eroica with Love" anime, Koyasu Takehito needs to voice the Major. <3

Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade from Star Wars (moving) are my otp
CJ Cregg and Danny Concannon from The West Wing (tv show) are my otp
Lucius Malfoy, Narcissa Malfy and Pansy Parkinson from Harry Potter (book) are my otp

Part Two of Harrow Children just hit the 25,000 word count. I...I can actually see the end coming up. *cheers*

I officially swear by Zicam.. just a little bit has me feeling better. Yes, that stuff is damned expensive, but OH SO WORTH IT, I just have that awkward stuffiness right now.

I have discovered a perfume that I absolutely must have. Harajuku G, it's like a japanese coconut smell (seriously I don't know what a japanese coconut would smell like, but with a name like Harajuku, I assume that would be what they were going for.) They have a bottle of it in a gift set cheap for 20 dollars, and I may just pick it up. Really it smells really nice and I only have a lonely bottle of Curve that I rarely use.

I'm off for the next couple of nights. HURRAH!

( And now for some worthy holiday cheer )

That was definitely relevant to my interests, how about you?

Which reminds me, I need to get off my arse and one day make that Mythos icon that I want from Princess Tutu. Yes, the image DID remind me of that series.

I have to get out of here.

My family was always kinda dysfunctional, but now it's just gone sailing completely into dysfunctional land. I think my big clue was when two different people warned me to not leave my purse around because my youngest little brother might try to steal money.

Then came the other clue--that I am expected to somehow magically "fix" things. I was ordered to go "talk to" my older little brother because Mom was ready to call the cops on him (yeah, I don't know why either--OK, he didn't sweep the floor, wtf). Because god forbid she talk to him herself. And she has presented me with a list of my little brother's chores, as if I am supposed to make sure they do them. I'm kinda like, why are you talking to me about this stuff? The ones you need to be having the conversation with is THEM, not ME.

And the older little brother is a mess and refuses to see it--never mind he was in tears talking to me, and he's also very angry at me for having left in the first place.

I want out. I want out of this crazy family where I'm supposed to magically make everything better and to give up the few things I have to come back and fix all the fuck-ups everyone else stuck their head in the sand about. I've only been here three days, and already I'm tired--tired of the yelling, tired of the stress, tired of having to smooth things over and defuse crappy situations, and tired of the pressure to somehow make this shit not broken. And tired of the subtle and overt blaming of me because I got the hell out of Dodge--my little brothers wouldn't be so fucked up if I had stayed and taken care of them. Because that's apparently what I was supposed to do; the rest of the family being around be damned.

I want to go home. I want to go home and pretend none of them exist; I want to go back to my quiet, peaceful life where there is no constant screaming, no shut doors with blasting music because everyone is ignoring everyone else. And I know, if it's like this with me having only been here three days, it's just going to get worse and worse as the week goes on.

And already I've gotten the whole, "Well, you can find a job here as good as your one there, right?" thing, and there is no nice way to say that I would sooner slit my own throat than move back to the same hemisphere as them. It's funny; yesterday I was kinda like, "Wow, it's so easy in America; it's so easy being able to completely understand everything, and everything being so completely familiar," but today, I just want out.

I want off this emotional train wreck.

*sigh* On the plus side, HC is now over 24,000 words, and I'm going to work on it more now. I need the distraction.

Yuletide is written, has been beta-ed, and has been uploaded. \o/

One of my New Year's Resolutions (yeah, I make them) is going to be to do one creative thing each day, and post it. It can be fanart, fanfic, freewriting original, whatever. Just. Something. You know what generally helps with that kind of thing?

Writing prompts! unactive pointed me in the direction of a_to_z_prompts (it's on LJ but I can link back to my DW) and I am tempted! I wish there were more here on DW but I'm coming up empty. Unless I START ONE. :D

I have fanart100, I just have to revive it, start being all modly and whatnot. And change my prompt because, uh, that's not going to work for me. :|

EDIT: merfilly pointed out three communities of interest: dailyprompt (for, obviously, daily prompts), muse_prompts, and parthenon (which is a tabled community and one I'm going to definitely be looking into!).

EDITx2: euphemia pointed out another community of interest: musing_way. :D

YESSSS. At just under 5,000 words, the final rough draft thing is done. PLENTY OF TIME FOR ME TO DECIDE IT IS A WORD DOCUMENT FULL OF FAIL. :D

Also, it's late, but check out my new icon! SQUALL YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY FILLED WITH CHRISTMAS GLEE.

OKAY. I'm home from work. I'm off tomorrow. I have 28 hours to finish my Yuletide fic, throw it at unactive for beta-ing, and post it.

I CAN DO THIS.

Yeah, let the frustration begin!

I got home safe and sound, but lord, I had forgotten how snarky my family is--even my brother's kids can snark each other already, and they do it with gleeful abandon.

My little brother has been so close to getting strangled, I swear to god. If he uses "gay" as an insult one more time I was gonna scream, and the final straw came after me, my big brother, his wife, and my little brothers went to see Avatar (which is AWESOME, by the way). My big brother wanted to stop by a DIY store to get some tiles, and the cashier for our line was Chinese-American (I know it was Chinese because of the name on her tag). She and this guy--I'm guessing Vietnamese by his accent--were trying to talk about the guy returning something and how he needed to talk to the manager, and she was having problems because English was obviously a second language for him. My little brother leans over and, in what was apparently supposed to be a joke, says, "They're both the same race, why they doing this in English?"

...Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah.

And yes, I snapped and told my little brother off. Right there in the store. He got an earful about how sick I was, after a day and a half, of his ignorant statements (including his defense of Chris Brown, the guy who beat up Rihanna. asdfghjkl;) and it was a very, very tense car ride home. He's still pissed off at me, and I don't give a sweet goddamn. I made him sit down after we got home, when he was trying to ignore me, and had a talk--ok, mainly me talking and him staring at his grapes and shrugging. *headdesk* It wasn't as productive as I'd have liked, mainly because grandma showed up and sat down, then Mom showed up, and there was no way I was having an important talk with my little brother with Mom around. (I told him we'd talk later). I did get to tell him my problem wasn't the ignorance, but the hurtfulness, and added that I expected better and was disappointed in him. That seemed to get to him, so hopefully some of what I said will sink in. :/

*rips out hair, screams*

Also, in another fit of frustration, the PS3 here has decided I'm not really me, and since the save data was from "someone else," I can't do any saves in FF13 starting from my save data. Meaning my choice is start all over--and lose any progress I make because I won't be able to use that save data--or no FF13.

...Yes, there was cussing involved. And a lot of it.

Gah.

I've done it.

I have twitter.

I've also discovered I am impervious to hang-overs. 2 margaritas, 4 shots of tequila, one glass of wine, one vodka and lemonade. I'm pretty sure that should have given me a headache.

iam the Holly Golightly (Breakfast at Tiffany's) of InsaneJournal.

GOOD MORNING MY PEEPS!

I am completely and utterly jealous of everyone who got snow. All we got was rain, rain, and more rain. :|

Also, I don't really have any 'meh' icons. I mean, the Spock icon is way too sad. As is the Laguna/Raine one. Wall-E is too contemplative. Zuko/Mai is kind of disappointed/angry, but definitely not 'MEH' worthy. I have 48 more icon slots though, so I think I'm going to have to go icon hunting!

...yeah, I couldn't decide what icon to use for this post. XD

So I broke 1,000 words in my Yuletide fic. \o/ This pleases me greatly! I have (most of) a beginning and (most of) an end - all I need is a middle. THE HARD PART. :|

I was weak and bought paid time on DW. Heeeeey, it expired and my icons went back to 15. I WAS SAD. :(

It is officially the 19th! Which means Christmas isn't far away. Which means January isn't far away. AND THEN THE HOLIDAY SEASON WILL BE BEHIND US. :D

I can't complain though, since I actually kind of like Christmas. I mean, not for all that sentimental crap, but because I get presents and presents fill me with glee. I AM THE REASON CHRISTMAS LOST IT'S TRUE ~MEANING~. XD

I'm borrowing Crisis Core from someone. I have been told I will cry. I ALREADY KNEW THAT OKAY. :(

I really like how every paragraph ends in capslock and an emoticon. YEAH. \o/

I'm heading off in about thirty minutes, so I'm about to pack up the comp, copy my FF13 save files, and put the last of my stuff in my bag. Y'all probably won't hear too much from me, since I don't want to use any of my journals when I'm at home on my mom's comp. ^^;;

Anywho, America, here I come! :D

Meme! Genked from teamromy!

Please copy the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out.

( And so, Javert, you see it's true~ )

I hereby officially take back everything I said about the battles in FF13 being easy. After FINALLY getting through all the tutorials--I hope--it's decided it's time to play for realz. The turning point is when you do a boss battle to get a summons, and then it's, apparently, ON.

I have been dead-Zacked so many times tonight, OMFG. XD;;;;

Sheldon & Penny from The Big Bang Theory (TV series) are my otp

I need to find more 100x100 icon brushes, because I have a Marie/Allelujah icon that just won't be perfect until I've found the right brush. -_- Will have to save this for my next day off unless I magically get up early enough to actually do thorough hardcore searching.

(for all of you curious, I do not ship exclusively male/male.. I also do not ship exclusively male/female. I just ship whatever it is that I damn well feel like *I do like me some Alle/Halle selfcest too though.. mmmmhmmmm good)

Also, I adore myself some girl/girl (which means that I'll probably be getting into that new yuri anime sooner rather then later.)
