Satellite transmits my voice

THIS THREAD. THIS THREAD THIS THREAD THIS THREAD. I have not had Jaffa Cakes or Ben's Cookies in years and I have a craving something awful. Do any of my UK friends want to hook me up? I'll pay for cookies and shipping and everything and I'll send you something from California or LA or Disneyland or whatever, just...Ben's Cookies ;A;

That bit of withdrawal was about three years overdue, I think. |D In the meantime, I'm stalking that thread and sniping it sometime on the 24th.

As a reminder, my threads for helpthesouth are here and here. Y'all know what to do. :Db

In other news, Art of the Dress is getting rewritten. After everything we've done at work? Yeah, it's happening. I might even sing it if I get fed up enough. One line that's not changing, however: "Deadline looms/Don't you know the client's always right?"

Speaking of fandom and derpery, I'm debating finding a land comm or a 20in20 challenge to join. I know about the Sailor Moon and Avatar ones, but I'm not really in either of those fandoms. Is there a KH one kicking around somewhere, or a general 20in20? I have exactly zero idea, so. \O_o/

Eventually I will finish one of my writing projects. Eventually.

I'm actually dead serious about the cookie thing, guys. Do want.

For those of you who missed the last entry, I have indeed finished my weekend-eating project. nalina fixed my audio problems, and the AMV will be up on YouTube sometime this evening. I will definitely be double posting when that happens. If feedback is positive, I may well enter it in convention AMV competitions, just to see how things go.

Now that that's over, I'm trying to get rid of the plot bunnies that have been hounding me. It just never ends, does it. XD

Thanks to my weekend off, I'm way the hell behind in RP. Can anybody tell me if I owe you tags...? I know Linkara's got two and Usopp's got two, but aside from that I can't remember any back tags I need to do. Kia's memory is terrible.

Also, SUPRAIZ!PIRATES is possibly the best development ever. I absolutely love you people. XDb

In a non-RP related note, I have these lovely blank sections on my profile that I need your help filling. You know that one-sentence meme that goes around every once in a while that I have never done and can never find when I need it? Yeah, I'm trying that one, so:

Describe me in a sentence. It can be as serious or silly as you want. In turn, I'll put all those sentences in a section on my profile.

My personal caveat is, please keep it clean. Pretty sure you guys will anyway, but nonetheless. ♥

Finally, that KH 30 Day meme, for which I am several days behind:

5. Favorite Mini Game

You know, I never really made a habit of playing a lot of minigames - I was always too busy going NEEDS MOAR PLOT 8O. That said, I did like mail delivery in Twilight Town, if only because it was quick, to the point, and not tough enough to get utterly frustrating.

Plus, performing a skateboard jump to deliver mail to a pidgeon in midair is never not funny.

6. Favorite Magic Spell

Cure. Oh man is it ever Cure. I feel like that's a bit of a given, but nonetheless. Aside from that bit of obvious, I really liked what I've been calling shotgun spells - they're the ones that shoot a concentrated blast that really flies. In KH1, it was Fire; in KH2, it's Blizzard.

7. Favorite Summon/D-Link

Once again, I pretty well fail the point of the game by not using a whole lot of summons. XD Press X to Kill Things, indeed. I was particularly fond of Genie in KH, though - he was certainly useful against Lock, Shock, and Barrel.

( All 30 Days )

This week has just been all sorts of insane. Expect length and rambling here.

Tiny finally came in, so I returned the Behemoth to Tech Central. Tiny is aptly named: the screen can't be bigger than eight or nine inches tops. The apostrophe key is next to the spacebar. Typing is near impossible. Thank goodness for USB keyboards. :D

I got my own laptop back from Tech Central today, with no repairs. It's a problem with the screen, and there's nothing they can do. At least I can still update my iPod...which is of course what matters. XD

I have fallen behind on practically everything in my life and will likely be using tomorrow to frantically catch up. I'm also fairly certain I owe people money, but I cannot remember who. Good times. XD

I went to California Adventure with lynxgriffin on Thursday. She was right: the animation building is fantastic. We spent probably two hours in there alone; most of it was me going o_o at all the fantastic stills from movies hung all over. We then went to go see the Aladdin show, which was fantastic. The Genie stole the show, of course - modern references made it. From telling Aladdin that he could have eight kids at once and the taxpayers of Agrabah would cover it to claiming he needed a government bailout since he lost his stuff in the Cave of Wonders collapse to asking Jafar if his hat was the same hat Aretha wore to the Inauguration (and later informing him that he was so mean that "on MySpace, Tom won't even friend you!") to Twittering ("Song is over. Carpet is tired."), Genie definitely made the show. I have to admit I laughed hardest when he broke into "Get'cha Head In the Game," but then again I'm biased. |D Basically, the day can be summed up by this. Yes, that's me in the yellow. Yes, that's on the Tower of Terror, right before a thirteen-story drop. Yes, I loved every minute of it.

And then, as if this week's lulz weren't enough, we went out to see the Dragonball movie.

( Cut for spoilers, rambling, and general hilarity. I love my friends. )

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

That was verrah important. :D

I know a lot of people do Year in Review posts, but to be honest I'm having trouble thinking back past this semester. It seems like I measure my time in weeks or days, which is why long-term planning and memoirs just throw me for a loop. I can try, though. Lessee:

Hit a year in Paixao (and a year in LJ RP overall).
Cloverfield came out and DC started up - it's almost a year old. I can't believe it.
Went to Gallifrey for the first time. Had a blast. Good times indeed.
I remember living in Towers and being told I couldn't put my bed under the window because of high school cheerleaders.
Rel 201 was awesome (and I need to email DeLong - don't let me forget). English 200 was tough if only because it was at eight in the morning. In all honesty, I don't remember what other classes I had and I'm too lazy to look them up. OH WAIT - Creative Writing, Grammar and Style, and Writing Center training. I am so the English major. So far as classes went, it was a pretty good semester.
Brawl came out the last day of Spring Break, and I wound up getting Jeff a copy so he wouldn't have to wait. I don't think he's ever called me so much, and I think I took a long time unpacking just to drive him crazy.
I learned how to use a microfilm machine.
I had a good deal of drama with my sorority, if only because I failed at participation and it came back to bite me in the ass. I've learned my lesson and I'm not doing it again.
THE RACISM DEBACLE.
I passed finals. Somehow.
Came home. Got a job at On the Border.
Summer of epic movies: Iron Man, Indiana Jones, The Dark Knight, Speed Racer, and of course Wall-E.
Weekly Doctor Who sessions with Spish and Jen all summer.
The Arizona branch of the family came to visit. Interesting at times but slightly arghghgh.
Broke $100 in tips - twice.
Went back to school for NSO.
Loved NSO. Fully intend to do again this fall.
Moved into apartments, reunited with roomie, met apartmentmates. Stocking an apartment is quite interesting.
Got massively into Sonic.
Swung into classes.
Got back into Sorority. Sisterhood chair is a blast.
Classes swung back. Got pwned.
Started drinking a lot of tea. Discovered that milk spoils incredibly quickly in Malibu. Not quite sure why.
Home for the Air Force/Navy game. Screamed my lungs out at the worst refs I've ever seen. Being in Mountain West sucks sometimes, as we get what we pay for.
Attempted to field and implement RP plot. Somehow survived.
Got into knock-down-drag-out with classes.
Asked out guy I'd been eyeing since London. Rejected. Guy later hooked up with RA. Found out through Facebook. Good amount of GRR ARGH to be had.
Introduced to Doctor Horrible.
Home for Thanksgiving.
Back for Finals. Called truce with classes. Earned a 3.6 GPA. Still need to send out my rhetoric paper to people who asked for it. Remind me to badger Goodman for feedback before I do so.
Home for Christmas.
Got back on the work schedule.
Unreal opened. Joined it. Convinced one and only character that TV was radioactive. Still amused.
Hung out with friends. Plan to do more of that before I head back.
Christmas.
Plotted in DC. Began partial overhaul of Paixao.
Spent New Year's Eve at a friend's house, watching Buffy and drinking fake champagne. Buffy gave way to conversation, which was much more interesting.
Came home. Hi, LJ.

...hell of a year, huh.

Happy New Year, guys. Happy 2009. May it be a safe and blessed one for you all.

The best parts of filming interviews at the Twilight release party tonight:

The Edward cosplayer admitting he may well sparkle in daylight
The grown woman calling Edward "ideal boyfriend material" and saying she would want her daughter to date him
The girl who likes vampires better than werewolves because they're "hotter and sparklier"
The girl who, on a vampiric scale of 1 to 10 (10 being Dracula), rated Edward a 2

We've got more, but this video is going to be epic.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say David's going to win.

( LJoke over, time for the actual post, mostly in letter format )

The long and short of all this is, I am such a dork for Idol and I'm really rooting for Cook. Show of hands: who's buying albums when they come out, and whose will you buy (if at all)? And is anybody else buying all the songs off iTunes before they go offline tomorrow? XD

AND FINALLY (AND TOTALLY OT):

I'm working lunch tomorrow, dinner Thursday, both shifts Friday, and lunch Saturday, in case somebody wants to come bother me. :D

So. Yes. I AM ALIVE.

And I don't feel like doing a huge post about how much of a fiacso flights were. :D;

So, for now, a pair of memes. The first: year's end look back (first sentence (or first few, in my case) from the first post of each month, whee~):

( The Year in Review )

And now that the tl;dr is over, another meme (ganked from voodoobob) that promises to be fun:

You name three characters, I have to pick one to push off a cliff, one to marry and one to challenge to Super Smash Brothers. Stick to the fictional characters, either gender is okay.

HAVE FUN. :D

I'm talking about RP wank, of course.

( Wank Goes tl;dr )
