Turn it up

So I finished Phoenix Wright 2 (SO. FUCKING. EPIC. FRANNY ILU SO HARD BB NEVER CHANGE U CRAZY BIATCH), and I've got the 3rd one on it's way to my house, from New Zealand, believe it or not. I'm trying to order the 4th from Amazon.com but it's being a bitch and keeps charging me $40 for shipping, and I'm fucking cheap, so I'm not paying that. I'll wait till it stops pms-ing.

I went to the funeral today; it fucking sucked. The eulogy was god-awful and the guy (who was apparently a friend) reading it kept making the worst mistakes; calling my teacher a 'cello-ist' instead of 'cellist', mispronouncing the name of his youngest daughter and screwing up the names of his pieces (it's CON-CER-TO, not CON-SER-TO, you dumb bastard). Plus his two older kids didn't even speak. Or look remotely upset. Seriously, one of his other students looked more upset than his son and daughter. They didn't even put flowers on his coffin. If he'd been there, he would have been so fucking pissed.

Oh, and I learnt from my bro's violin teacher how he died.

It was suicide.

So yeah, today was pretty damn awesome, as you can tell.

I got my math test back today. 60%, which is a pass, and good enough for me. I just want to get through first semester so I can relax. Uni is hard work, damnit. Technically, I should be working now, but I can't be fucked. Bring on the holidays, already, gawd.

-Typhie

P.S. I find Crazy!Evil!Vampire!Matt Engarde fucking attractive. Yes, I am ashamed, embarassed and disturbed, but I had to get that off my chest.

So it all started with lesaut's long and elaborate theory...



Of course this could all be totally wrong but theorizing is fun :DDD It's like HP again x) Yay overanalyzation!

Also, I feel so tired >.< I need a time turner. I'd use it to sleep even more.

This is Today: Dr. Visit (134/366)
I still have high blood pressure, but it's getting better. I'm at 122/90.

SO. If any of you are in the Supernatural fandom (I know some of you are!) you'll probably remember the OMG-OUR-SHOW-IS-BACK-AND-I-WANT-TO-FRIEND-THE-WORLD Friending Meme going around after SPN came back from hiatus. SOOOO I'M FEELING THIS SAME FEELING EVEN MORE INTENSELY because of the update. I propose we do the same thing! Right here! At cult_sbp! (Hey mod(s), if this is not cool just let me know and I'll host it at my own journal)

So, erm...here's a template. Just copy/paste and post your answer in the comments (NOT AS A SEPARATE ENTRY, YOU GOONS) and FRIEND PEOPLE AND BE HAPPY! YAY. OH! And pimp this shit, yo. Because we won't make new friends if no one knows this is happening.

ER...SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS if you haven't read the new part! xD

First things first - hello, new friends! I'm so pleased to have you on my friends list and look forward to getting to know you better! I'm always excited to read new journals and learn more about people. Woo! In case you're interested, have an introduction! It's the same ol' intro I've been using for awhile, though I have tweaked some things to better fit my current situation.

( Learn more about me. )

How's that for a quick rundown? I hope you've learned a smidge about me from all this!

Moving on. Today has been a... weird day. I'm half-depressed, but various things keep happening around me to somewhat snap me out of it. They've dropped off in recent hours, however, so now I'm just in an awful funk. Good times!

Here are some of the things that I mentioned. Firstly, Amy is having some kind of grades shenanigans with one of her education teachers. Apparently the woman really dislikes her, and thus gave her zero participation points for the course (for which she had only one unexcused absence). This dropped her grade from an A to a C. Obviously, Amy is pretty distraught about this. Particularly because she's never done terrifically well in school, but this semester she thought she'd make all As - which would allow her to get a scholarship when she goes to A&M Commerce in the fall. My parents have agreed to pay for Commerce so it's not as though she needs the scholarship, but she was really excited about earning something academic on her own. And now this teacher has used her bias to crush those dreams.

The thing is, I get that my sister can be a pain in the ass sometimes. She's loud, opinionated, talks too much, and can be completely over-the-top with her behavior in order to get attention. Generally this means that people either love her or hate her. Regardless, she made an effort after the professor told her that she talked too much in class. She stopped doing it. She participated in every class discussion (believe me, nothing could stop her from doing this) and did loads of extra credit, and the teacher gave her a C.

In case you can't tell, this really frustrates me. Amy doesn't try hard at much of anything, so now that she's finally making an effort I'd like to see that be rewarded. She really, really wants to be a good teacher, and she's going out of her way to make sure that happens. I don't want to see her slack off after this because she feels like even when she does the work, she'll be docked for some stupid little excuse.

Grr.

That was the distraction that funneled my depression into righteous anger. The next one whipped it into a confused amusement. Apparently I'm the featured fangirl of the week over at Soulgeek. Bwuh? I hadn't been on that site in weeks before I got the notification in my email, and I was never particularly active when I was there anyway. I joined it in a fit of boredom and have replied to maybe two messages since I've been there. So, WTF. I assume it's because the site just doesn't have that many users on it.

But, like I said, I'm still feeling lame. So instead of regaling you with the various pathetic reasons that I'm feeling so down, I'm going to do a love meme and beg for your affection. Please comment? I'd really appreciate it ♥

( The Real Final Battle )

Wow guys! Long time no...do this. That's crazy. Here it is at long last! Late on Tuesday, but on Tuesday nonetheless. We thought we might wait until Thursday to make it like old times, but then we figured, we never had patience in the old days anyway, so why start now?

I just personally wanted to thank all of you for being so patient, because you are all so patient—way more patient than I am, for example, because I am so not patient ever about anything.

The first part of Shoebox was written in the summer of 2004. I was seventeen years old and I was about to go to college, and, let's face it, I was totally terrified and totally excited. I was also totally different from who I am now.

Now, four years later, I just finished my last final ever yesterday, so that I am feeling both exhausted and nostalgic. And I would like to take this moment just to say that Shoebox has changed my life. Were it not for this project, I would not have been able to meet so many incredible people, nor would I have been able to do so many incredible things, all of which have altered my perspectives. In so many ways, this story has shaped the course of the past four years. I am so glad whenever I think back on meeting Rave by bizarre and happy accident once upon a time—leaving a comment on her livejournal to talk about, of all things, Severus Snape.

Thank you guys so much. I would be such a different person were it not for all of you, and I cannot really express my gratitude. Forgive me my moment of cheese. I think I can speak for both Rave and myself when I say:

Camembert, anyone?

♥ Jaida




PS, yeah basically ditto -- xoxo Rave


( Part Twenty-Six: Five Photographs of Peter Pettigrew. )

Like George Washington, the next part of Shoebox is coming.

I'm proof-reading it 800 times now and waiting for Rave to get back from a meeting (a "meeting," I bet she's just buying some oj and ice cream, how dare she do things like meet with people) and then she'll proof-read it, and then it will come.

Just thought that I should let you guys know that, as far as I'm aware, everything is still on track for a Tuesday posting.

THANK YOU ALL FOR WAITING!

Why is it that I keep adding things to my "goal" list? What the fuck. I can't keep up with myself. I'm working on a website code currently, and am not done. Yet, I am actively pursuing photography gigs, and have applied for a second job to make some more money. And today I re-visited blurb.com and realllly want to get a book ready for Joe's sister's wedding shots for when we got back in 2 weeks, which means I need to get it done asap. Eek.

QOTD: How do you manage your goals?

Do you complete one before making another? Do you just let them pile up and never complete any? Do you keep a mental bank account, or write it all down somewhere?

TITLE: Time is a Precious Thing
PERPETRATOR: LadyLovegood
SUE-O-METER: (bad)

FULL NAME: Claribel Dumbledore
SPECIES: Witch
HAIR: blond
EYES: not described
MARKINGS: none mentioned
POSSESSIONS: A daughter named Abigail who is going to guilt Remus into leaving Tonks.

ORIGIN: She went into hiding when the Potters died to protect herself, and her unborn daughter. She returns to society for Dumbledore's funeral, and gets to meet her baby-daddy Remus.
CONNECTIONS TO CANON: Is Dumbledore's granddaughter. She was Remus' fiancee, and is the mother of his child. She was best friend with the Potters, she saw them on Oct. 31. Sirius was like her brother, but she always knew that Peter was odd. She used to hang around with the Marauders. She and Mad-Eye were "extreamly close". She is going to be the new DADA Professor. Remus is going to leave Tonks for her. Pfft, she shouldn't feel that special, he was going to leave Tonks regardless. She was a member of the Order, which she rejoins upon her return.
SPECIAL ABILITIES: Stoic, "I have always been the type of person that gets straight to the point and that had been the one thing that had grown more while I had been in hiding". She's never on time. She used to be chatty and outgoing, but now she's shy.

NOTES: Poor Remus, the case of the unplanned pregnancy strikes again. At least it's not in canon this time.

( Questions )

My little sister just added me on facebook.

*cue freaking out* I feel old now.

Hello, internets! I have some new friends via the friending meme, but I think I'm going to take a page from the book of a new friend and wait until the friending process dies down before making my intro post. So for right now, let's talk ghosts!

Yesterday was Creepday for me, what with reading a ghost thread over on sf_drama and then watching 30 Days of Night late last night with my sister (the movie wasn't all that great, thanks to the ending. The vampires were freaky-deaky looking, though). Somehow I managed to sleep quite comfortably all through the night without any bad dreams, so apparently I feel like testing fate and trying again.

So, friends list, tell me your ghost stories! Have you ever seen anything terrifying? Supernatural? Lay it on me.

I personally have never experienced any paranormal activity. I'm not sure if this is because of who I am or because of the things I choose to do, but I'm totally A-OK with it. I absolutely believe in ghosts and demons, and could not be happier that I have never seen one. Even a friendly one. Brr.

Loads of people have fabulously freaky ghost stories, though. Tell me, tell me, tell me!

WHY DO I NOT HAVE A 'V' FOR MOTHER EFFING VICTORY ICON!? -goes off to look for one-

Oh well, Minako more than makes up for it. -needs more Ayaka icons liek woah-

Okay. I has job. Actually. I has trial period for jobs and I get to learn how to make shakes and all that jazz. :D

and then starting june 4 for like four hours a day three/four times a week I go sell shit to baseball people. :D :D :D

Therefore I am employed. Life. She is good.

FUCK YEAH JOB IS JOB!

( Utena + the Ding Dong Song. You know you want it. Video behind cut )

Ooh yay! I hope that's what they decide to do with the movies, cause I love me some RPattz.The link to the car thing is funny too (and the side videos on that page) if you're like me and only stalk the Twilight communities once every few days and are a little behind on movie and interview news.

( ...wow... )
