Man oh man it's been a long past few days. Work's actually been picking up a bit - for a given value of "picking up" - and I've actually been a bit occupied there, so really, no complaints on that front. I do need to go on another egg hunt, though.

I'm moving tomorrow! Sunday is going to be a lot of putting stuff in cars and ferrying it from one location to another. If anyone local wants to help, I pay in brownies, and guys, I do make good brownies. |Db

I'm going to take a break from XI for a while - maybe a week or so. I need a bit of time and distance to Figure Things Out. This happens with my games every once in a while. /shrug

Second City also has me headtilting in confusion. I mean, on one hand, I am absolutely loving what's going down. Linkara's going to be an honorary Strawhat at this rate, which I find hilarious. Rosette needs to do more, but being Buffy for a thread has definitely been good for her. The part that's making me headtilt is J. I mean, I was hoping this latest plot would give him something to work towards or at least be good for him, and instead he's been absolutely humiliated. It is IC, and I don't know what else I was expecting with Lara involved, but the guy really needs a break and he might not get it with me at the helm. The lesson here: check Dear Mun more often, and remember that this is indeed a game based on the Dresden Files.

So basically, Kia's RP at this moment can be summed up with "Son I am confuse." There are times when pretendy fun times break my brain.

Incidentally, I really need to finish that Usopp app. I've got, what, four days? Five? Something like that.

On a completely unrelated note, there's a new trailer for Epic Mickey, and it is...well, epic.



BBS C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER
I haven't posted for a solid week. Neglected blog is sadly, sadly neglected.

Of course, this could well be because I've been spending most of my time on LJ in my RP journals. In my defense, however, epic things have been happening. In this past week, Linkara has nearly been eaten by a vampire, Rosette is kicking vampire ass, and Foxx has fixed Caboose's computer after he tried to feed it a cookie (...don't ask), helped build and run a time machine, and punched Jack Spicer. It may not have been the greatest of weeks for all my characters, but I'm certainly enjoying myself.

Also, between watching Thriller Bark with [livejournal.com profile] edward_hyde and [livejournal.com profile] universejuice and my natural propensity towards doing stupid things in regards to RP, I think I'm going to app Usopp. For those of you who don't know, Usopp is part Badass Normal, part Butt Monkey, and can pretty much be summed up as Batman the Cowardly Pirate.

No, seriously.

Eleven years' worth of canon to cover before August 24th. Bring it on.

What is wrong with me ;~;

Incidentally, I am in need of some good OP icons. /stares at TB buddies expectantly

In other news, that egg is taking a long time to hatch. I've been advised to give it a few more days before I check the nest, though, so I'm trying to take it easy for now. The other egg, however, needs some poking.

My life what is this craziness. Seriously.

Anyways I'm gonna go ahead and finish up that music meme...a week late...8D

Day 29: A song from your childhood


There's this great CD (though it was a mixed tape way back then) that Avon and Disney put together called For Our Children. It's well-nigh impossible to find nowadays, but my brothers and I nearly wore it out back then. It also had Blanket For a Sail, Getting to Know You, Chicken Lips and Lizard Hips, and all sorts of other fantastic things. :D I can actually upload it at some point if anyone wants it. Either way, this is the song that my brothers and I would always ask to be played over and over and over again.

Day 30: Your favorite song at this time last year


Warning: this video is absolutely spoilery as hell for Princess Tutu. So's you knows.
[livejournal.com profile] amorsinseramada can vouch: this one was at the top of my most played list on iTunes by well over a hundred views, and it stayed there for a very long time. There were days when I'd just throw it on repeat and let it go.

The Full 30 Days )

So yeah, that's thirty days of music. I might need to do another one of these 30 day memes, if ony to keep things going. Does anybody have any good ones?
First of all, Songfest is ridiculously awesome hell yeah. I need to post a picture of my makeup and costume. There's a reason we start with Thriller. X3

The rest of this is incredibly fannish and full of squee and such. You have been warned.

First of all, [livejournal.com profile] lovediamond! I have been fail and a half at tagging and I seriously owe you an apology ;;; I also need to chat you up again, because I have half a tag written and saved and then I totally blanked on what direction we're going with this thread. MY APOLOGIES FOR THE FAAAAAAAAIL [/grovels]

Also, in that direction, I saw a comment in the last anonmeme about how damn difficult it is to play a villain when everybody wants the Good Guys to triumph 100%. I feel like, with Facilier, I can now relate to that sentiment. I mean, I promise not to kill your character unless you want them killed, but come on now, it's a game full of high schoolers. Not everybody is smart enough to resist the guy offering to make your wildest dreams come true. I mean, look at the two I have in the game: J trusts his Music Sense, and Facilier's music is creepy and a half, so he'd be out; Levitas, however, would be suckered in ninety seconds flat. Thing is, I'm not getting a lot of response for Facilier. A big part of it is definitely my recent lack of activity - I will definitely own up to that. The other things is, I have maybe three volunteers and I can't seem to get anyone else interested. I dunno. It might require a different approach, or I might have to work around the "but I don't want my character creeped on even though he has no reason to avoid the Shadow Man" reaction, or maybe both. Either way, planning needs to happen for Facilier.

While we're on the RP front, I'd forgotten how much fun Death can be. I've got to post for him more often, and should I ever get time to read again I really need to do a canon review. Same with Rosette, though I don't think it's my tag there.

So far as jobs go, I'm still working on my I Can Has Cheezburger questions, if anyone's interested in giving me feedback. I think I need lessons in being funny. |D I'm also still on the job search and thinking that I need to write an abstract of my thesis to send out with my resume, since that seems to interest a lot of people. While I'm at it, the thesis needs work too.

On the epic fansquee front, Soul Silver and Princess and the Frog are shipped and should arrive around Monday, which means I'll probably get them Wednesday. Good times there. :D [livejournal.com profile] aviekokyre, if it's physically possible to get one in this game, I'm totally taking you up on your offer of a Spinda.

Today's Woot! Shirt is absolutely fantastic. I don't have long to figure out if I can justify spending the money after the aforementioned big purchase, but dang do I want one.

While we're on the subject of things Kia shouldn't spend money on, these necklaces are beautiful and commissionable. Why must everything tempt me so ;~;

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

On Idol the other night, they had my favorite Idol performing my most-played song in iTunes. Behold the epic:



And for those of you who would also like the epic on their iPods, iTunes was kind enough to put it up. I'd lay really good odds that this cover sells more than all of the Top 12 singles combined.

I do so love it when my fandoms collide, especially when music is involved.

On a totally random note, this pretty much describes my life. It's brilliant in a scary and strange sort of way.

I think that's about it. I need to go crash out so I can be coherent for my internship and another Songfest show, huzzah :D
I kind of want to play the Cheshire Cat at XI. Nobody really knows who or what he is or where he comes from, or why he occasionally hangs around the Institute - rumor has it that Xavier owes him a favor, or the other way around. Expect him to show up just about anywhere at inopportune times, making only the vaguest amount of sense and grinning like the cat who- well, you know.

Things I should not be considering at midnight.

But, y'know, it was a great movie. The 3D made it.

The difference between me and the rest of the horrible club is, I can't draw. FIC TIME.

Please keep in mind this is total What-If Wednesday stuff and will NEVER HAPPEN EVER EVER EVER. )

Retreat was so much fun. Catch Phrase will always be awesome with my fellow G Phis. XD Also, Valentine's Day (the movie that just came out) is pretty good. Kind of like Love Actually, but all in the span of 24 hours instead of a few months. It was very well done.

Also, it's great to hear one of your sisters yell, "YOU DICK!" right in the middle of a theater. It just makes the experience.

In other news, MST3K and Red vs Blue with friends are just so awesome. Apartmentmates + [livejournal.com profile] amorsinseramada + [livejournal.com profile] lynxgriffin = win. :Db

ONE MORE THING:

I keep getting fanarted. I suppose I should stop describing tarot cards in Facilier's posts, huh. 8D

Bid night was tonight! I finally have a name twin, which should prove to be interesting. She's a Disney nut, though, so this is awesome and win. Also, I finally got my little to watch The Princess and the Frog. She said it may well be her new favorite Disney movie and I squeed with joy. She is totally my little. :Db

Date tomorrow. No idea what I should wear~

...yeah today was uneventful. 8D /SPAMS FLIST UNNECESSARILY

IF YOU DON'T GET IT, THAT IS ALRIGHT. I'M JUST TRYING TO BE CLEVER. 8D

I completely managed to miss the last recruitment event tonight. I thought it was at seven p.m. It was at one. Good job self. |D

I suppose I should go do apps and reading for class tomorrow (which I just received tonight, huzzah huzzah). Given that Neil Patrick Harris is the guest judge for Idol tonight, that might not happen for a bit.

I've worked on that project all weekend and I'm taking a break before I go crash out and get up early for my internship tomorrow. Might as well do something mindless, like a meme that's been going around like the plague, right? 8Db

Have a gigantic meme )

And with that, my first day of internship is tomorrow. Wish me luck~!
So here's a fantastic idea:

Take the most evil villain that Disney has created in the past decade or so and set him up to prey upon the souls of the hapless and innocent in not one but TWO locations.

And give him a mentee while you're at it. )

Obviously I should never be left to my own devices pertaining to villains. Criminy.
LeSeptieme 1:54 am
I have got to shut my brain off when it gets this late, seriously
it just came up with the phrase "Facilier is like J on voodoo crack"
universejuice 1:55 am
fffffffffffffffffffffffff
that is amazing
LeSeptieme 1:55 am
cannot
unsee
it
universejuice 1:56 am
So perfect
in the worst way
LeSeptieme 1:57 am
And now the two of them are doing the "I am not like that guy >>" thing
universejuice 1:57 am
Eyeing each other angrily
LeSeptieme 1:58 am
Oh they're both trying to be very calm about it
J tapping his fingers against his leg
Facilier shuffling his cards
At some point, there will likely be ineffectual violence
universejuice 1:59 am
XD
LeSeptieme 1:59 am
as neither of these two are very good in a fight
universejuice 1:59 am
Facilier can turn J into something and J can trip at him
LeSeptieme 1:59 am
...evenly matched >>
I will never unsee this ._.
universejuice 2:01 am
why would you want to it's awesome
LeSeptieme 2:01 am
You're not playing one and trying not to play the other |D
universejuice 2:02 am
|D

Somebody please convince me not to app the crazy behatted voodoo man. He'd be a perfect villain in both Paixao and XI and I am stupidly tempted and the last thing I need is another charmer in the headspace, especially one with ill intentions.

Gorrammit Disney why are you so awesome.
Whew it's been an eventful past couple of days.

First of all, I AM FEELING BETTER HUZZAH! I'm still taking it easy if you can call two shots of Bailey's in two days "taking it easy", but I'm doing a lot better. Yays :D

The past few days have been pretty awesome despite the random illness. My little brother and I went rock climbing with Jonathan and Leah in an indoor place. It's been forever since I've done something like that - I have pictures and videos and soreness in my arms and shoulders to prove the epic. Lunch at a local and ridiculously awesome Chinese restaurant, homemade stromboli for dinner, and watching Star Trek for the second time topped off Monday. Tuesday and today have both been pretty low-key but nice. I have been sleeping for once. It's a nice change. XD

I have been going really crazy at XI lately, which is both a good and bad thing. The good is that J is getting CR and romantic shenanigans *A* and I have a new app in the box, which is a surprise even to me. Late morning yesterday, I sat down, looked at all the dragon stuff going on in XI, and went, I want to app Levitas. Six or seven hours later, I have an app done and a post up on Dear Mun and I am just gung ho about this little Winchester. I have no idea if his app will be accepted, given that there are two or three other dragon apps in the box right now, but I'm still excited. Either way, I might app him to Paixao - needs moar dragons.

That brings me to the downside of increased activity at XI - I haven't been looking at Paixao as much. I really need to sit down and figure out how much I can handwave and where everybody needs to be. Luxord will probably wind up back at the bar (that's totally not his launching point or anything), Rosette will probably be handwaved as staying with the TARDIS crew, and DEATH...I have no idea. He might get himself tangled up in Darkside. |D IDEK. Need a kickstart there. Maybe later tonight after our game of Clue is over. We're on pause on account of guests, but I'm just about certain I know what the solution is. :D

EITHER WAY. Good times all around. :Db

I do, actually. I'm not 100% yet, but I'm on the way up. I remember this being a two-day thing, so I'm pretty much marking time until tomorrow and hoping for the best (and drinking lots of water, all that jazz).

But more importantly: WE MADE COOKIES TODAY



The Derek cookie got a lot of compliments, even if nobody knew what it was. Yes, that is J on the end. I tried to make the pompadour and it looked...really bad. Really bad. So he's having an off day. |Db I wound up describing them as "inside jokes" whenever anybody asked what they were. I guess that makes you all inside. XDb

Also! I can has rename token, thanks to a lovely gifter from the [livejournal.com profile] holiday_wishes comm. If this journal randomly turns into [livejournal.com profile] kiaxet, you'll all know why. There will also probably be a big post announcing it. |Db

[livejournal.com profile] bouncy_erbear, we need to plan dance shenanigans. I quite like the spiked punch idea. 8D
Whoever planned this week needs to never do that again. Don't get me wrong, I love my sisters to death. Thing is, I'm not sure I want to see them for mandatory events every day for eight days.

Well, okay, tonight's formal wasn't mandatory - was an absolute blast, actually - but the point still stands. That is just waaaaaaay too much stuff back to back. Fortunately, all we've got left is the Gamma Games meeting Saturday and Gamma Games itself, as well as formal chapter, on Sunday. Hopefully I'll have some energy before then.

The rest of this post will probably be about RP, so those of you who don't care about that aspect of my internet life can skip the cut. |D

THE CUT )

...oh dammit that's not the entire issue.

Cut the second. I lied - it's not all about RP. )

I've been telling people I've been marking time until Thanksgiving break, and while that's true, I don't think it's the whole truth. I think I'm just marking time until this semester is over. I thought it was going to be a lot easier than it actually was, and that certainly came back to bite me in the ass.
