Satellite transmits my voice

I didn't really want to brag about grades until they were all updated (one of my teachers seems to be just a bit behind), but eh, I'll do it anyways. I'm pretty certain of what grade I'll be receiving in that class anyways.

SO. Semester grades are:

Rhetoric: A-
Shakespeare: A
History: Pending
Convo: A
JWP: CR
Religion: B

Yeah, I have no freaking clue how I pulled that last one off. Just. No idea. Criminy. I liked my dad's reaction best: "There is a God." Ohhhhh yes there is. :D

Emu came over for the first time in forever today. We spent a good four hours talking and working our way through Subspace Emissary. It was a bit easier to work our way through the patches that Kae and I had just killed ourselves over a few days prior (we made it across the moving platform/spike combo on the first try. I have no idea how that happened), but the new material had its moments. All I can say is, Snake has the best freaking intro ever and tea does indeed solve everything.

And Kae...I kind of wasn't thinking and saved over our file. ^^;;; Sorry...

Lessee, what else...oh yes, Unreal opened today. I should probably get posting on that tonight. XD

And I should catch up in Paixao.

And in DC.

...when did RP get so incredibly busy? Just. Wow.

AND DID ANYBODY WATCH HEROES TONIGHT.

( This part is a bit spoilery )

Also, I am now completely convinced that my Petrelli/Hedgehog parallels have fallen apart. At this point, Nathan is acting like Shadow would be if Mephiles had succeeded, Peter's got Sonic's traits (and the complete inability to let the jackass die) but lacks the upstanding aspects of his personality, and...let's just leave Silver out of this, shall we? It just doesn't work anymore. XD

I'll definitely watch after the Super Bowl because I'd love to know what happens next, but I think my apathy is starting to show and I can't be bothered to cover it up.

...I think I'll end this with a meme. Haven't done one of those in a while. This one's ganked from spiritsshadow.

( And it's about movies. And it's *long.* )

I received replies to my two reviews:

( Two of 'em, actually )

As well as a pair of PMs:

( And this is where things get arrogant )

At this point, I gave up.

( My reply: )

Believe it or not, I actually meant all of this. If he'd at least try, then hell yes I'd keep reading and reviewing. As it is, however, I think I'll just sharpen my spork and take notes. Kae, are you up for this?

Things that work well at four in the morning:

Written satire and sarcasm
My Flonne-muse
My sense of humor (although it could just be I just think everything is funny that late/early)

Things that don't:

Grammar
Tact
My sense of humor (for parenthetical reason stated above)

It's getting to the point where I really don't like Tuesdays. The fact that I have a religion test tomorrow really isn't helping matters.

And Boot Camp is Saturday. So much for sleeping in, huh.

...I would really, really like to play video games. It ain't gonna happen for a while, but...I would.

Oh. And my roomie was nice enough to drive me to Ralph's last night, so now I have the chocolate. I am pleased.

I seem to have developed mental blocks on two of my classes - or rather, one class and one book.

The class is English 305 on Monday at 10. Anybody in chat remember when I whined and moaned about having to write that essay in the style of Langston Hughes? That's the class. We've been assigned another emulate-the-style essay, didn't receive the essay until about three days ago (when it was assigned two weeks ago), and are supposed to write an essay with the title "I am a ______________" (fill in the blank with appropriate adjective). I heard that and went, cool! I can write an essay about how I'm a geek or a nerd or whatever. I'm good at that.

And then I read the essay today.

Essay: Hi! I'm called "I am a Cripple!"
Me: Um...okay.
Essay: Let me tell you all about my experiences with Multiple Sclerosis and you can emulate my style!
Me: ...D:

It's not wangsty or emo or whiny, but reading it is a bit depressing (hooray First Person POV). The author is talking about how MS has changed her life and how it's no picnic, and all I can think is, "I can't emulate this. I like being a geek."

So I'll most likely end up complaining to chat again (sorry guys!) and writing the whole cursed thing tomorrow evening. I'm going to try to make progress tonight, but...well, I know how I work.

The book I've blocked one for my Religion class. Sad thing is, it should be a really easy read: it's got big text and pictures and everything, and it explains history and politics and architecture and culture and stuff during the time of the New Testament. Interesting stuff, right? Should be. I just can't get through it.

...I'm not making any sense. I'm going to go wrap this up and attempt to get some semblance of homework done before Megan and I go see Sweeney Todd tonight.

...in other random happier news, I got a Perfect on Even Flow on Medium last night on Guitar Hero. I'd never played it before. I'm very proud of me. :Db

1:13 a.m. and I'm so tired I can barely think anymore.

It's official: I'm a lightweight.

Could be because of all the stuff I've done today, though. English 215 at 8 a.m., Religion 102 at 10 a.m., work at 2 (for three hours), sorority meeting for informal recruitment (I think I might get a few girls to come, yay), dinner, beating Guitar Hero, hanging out with shadow_wings_, and finally the activity check for Paixao.

( Screw the fiddle contest, man, Satan's gone guitar. )

And even though we've both been here a week, shadow_wings_ and I only discovered that we live less than ten rooms down from one another tonight. Go figure. So she came over for a while, and we turned on Guitar Hero yet again. She started a band, and I showed her the not!Satan duel.

I also think I've gotten her hooked on Disgaea, only for the Prinnies. Hooray for fellow penguin fans!

( Jobby-things )

( Stabbity Stab Stab? Why yes, I am talking about Unreal. )

And I ramble when I'm tired, so I'll stop here. :3

Now be honest: how many of you did a double-take at that title?

Strangely enough, it's true. I was, and now I have the desire to make shortbread cookies rolled in crushed peppermint.

So I went and played Guitar Hero instead (as I didn't think we had peppermint). Why can't I ever play more than four or five songs before my arm starts to hurt? I wonder if I'm holding the guitar wrong.

Pointless update courtesy of your friendly neighborhood Kiaxet.

Would y'all really be surprised to find I'm getting out of it?

I think my AIM conversation with lynxgriffin explains it best.



There you have it. You're not going to be hearing much KH stuffs out of me, especially in comms (I've about had it with khfanficrants). I'm taking a break. Maybe, if I'm lucky, I can rediscover the reason I started liking KH so much in the first place.

So. Allllllll sorts of stuff to talk about.




And to switch gears yet again (WHEEEEEEE) fandom time! :D




And finally, the answers to that song meme I did forever and a freaking day ago. ^^;
If anybody wants me to upload any of these songs (or any other songs you know I have (Honky Tonk Badonkadonk, princeali_m_fanXD;)) just let me know. I'd be glad to do it. :D

AND. That is all! ^^;

I went to a guy friend's room today. He just got his copy of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, and he wanted to mess with it.

I spent a good 30 minutes on the Character Creator. I discovered that you can't make Axel (no appropriate hair or chakrams), you can't make Xaldin (hair but no lances), and you can't make Lexaeus (killer cleaver but no hair). You can, however, make Saix - just as long as you don't mind fudging hair and weapon a bit and you leave the face scar off.

...I'm so obsessed. It's absolutely creepy how bad this has gotten. ^^;

But now I wanna grab the PS2 version...the directional buttons being connected on the Xbox royally screwed me up and over. That, and PS2 controllers fit my hands more easily. What, me, Sony fangirl? You betcha.

On a completely unrelated note, I'm finally getting around to sporking Flaming Siblings. I'm joint-sporking it with Maxegn and teaching her to spork at the same time. It's quite interesting. For a beginner, she's pretty dang good. ^^

(I'm also trying to convince her to get a LJ, but that's not going as well. I need to be more coercive.)

But that's life at the moment. I'm going to bed now.

So I've been rather busy lately. I finally got around to opening KHII, and...well...*heehee*
But I'm not talking about that yet.

I went to go see John Kerry speak in Smothers yesterday. It was...interesting...


In other news! KHII! Whee!


I've just realized I managed to switch from first to second to third person and RP a little all in the same entry. It's time to go get breakfast, take a shower, and blow up my brain with more KHII before my Harry Potter seminar this afternoon.

Totally looking forward to it. ^^
