Guess who is awake?!

Or maybe I should say: guess who is still awake?!

Before you ask: gotta get to the bank early. Decided to wait for bank to open. Am gonna gather up bag and start walking after this post as I don't trust myself to drive and need the exercise anyway.

What did i do last night? Did I do something productive, like clean?

...What gave you that idea? I wrote a bunch of HP AU fics.

What if Petunia DID have magic? and What if NEVILLE was the chosen one?
What if Harry looked more like his mother than his father? (warning: though utterly not intended in any way shape or form this came across with Snape/Harry overtones.)
What if the Potters had a daughter instead?

Life's been sucking recently, so let's focus on the good things.

For the 22nd-29th, I will have a katenator and you will not. HA. ♥ She is mine. I may consider letting her go after that, but I make no promises.
I went to see a 3am showing of Halfblood Prince. Better review to come later, but to make a long story short, I loved it. ♥
Speaking of Kate, she got on her local news for being in line and in costume! GO LOOK.
While the comments on this are patently depressing, this video is a nice commentary on gender bias in video games as a whole.
Been getting into earring-making lately.
Signed up to write Sansa/Sandor for ship_manifesto. I am a bad person. A bad person who now needs to research.
Rereading the HP books. I'm getting bunnied left and right for AUs, I may try to start writing a series of drabbles.
Apparently, achariya can talk me into anything.
Been listening to "Angel of the Morning" on nonstop almost... ONLY LIKE FIVE MORE MONTHS UNTIL YULETIDE~
ALSO been listening to the title theme for this movie. Haven't even seen it yet, but I love it in the preview and the actual version is just as catchy. Gonna see if Scarecrow has it when Kate comes so we can both watch it... if not, it's available to buy on iTunes, so I may buy it for my flight.
Speaking of... TWO WEEKS. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Need to talk to Kerry about getting another copy of my health insurance card since I think they never sent me a new one... when get back, I'm going to look into getting checked out for depression.

(Icon is so relevant)

Guess what productive thing I did today?!

Fanart for Avatar: The Last Airbender...

...THE MOVIE!

I think the thing that is currently bothering me most about it is - have the creators ever weighed in on this issue? Because I've been looking for their commentary but they seem... disturbingly silent on the matter.

Or was "Ember Island Players" THEIR subtle commentary on the movie and they've just been passing a bottle of Southern Comfort back and forth since then?

Star Trek goofiness

So Don made a house full of our Star Trek characters in The Sims 3. Anne's is not allowed to touch or fix anything because she always blows shit up.

Anyway, so Derrek is playing the game in the other room and we hear the distinct sound of something going up in flames and breaking.

Don stands and asks who did this now. (It was Anne's character)

An instant later, Don's phone goes off. Don's ringtone is the Red Alert.

It's Anne saying that her and her man were on the way.

I've felt ... overwhelmingly anxious lately. Like I know something bad is going to happen, I can feel it. Maybe it's just going to be a bad performance review at work, it seems like something small but none the less highly upsetting for me, but.

I just keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Got new luggage today, though. I love it because it is highly visible (nonstandard color and pattern) while still being something that most people wouldn't want to steal, with any luck. :x Also it's not full of cat hair and torn apart from being kitty scratch-post. Also a plus.

Everyone else is doing it~

Your result for Roleplayer Test!...

The Biographer

Plotful, Character-Oriented, Platonic

Like the Portraitist, the development of your character is the most important thing to you when you roleplay. However, you like your development and relationships to have some kind of overarching plot: you're not the type to enjoy a dressing room or any kind of roleplay where your character can't grow in at least a semi-structured manner. You enjoy exploring your character's psyche, but simple exploration isn't enough: you like to discover and then implement and use, and therefore continuity (which gives you "why"s and "how"s) is very important to you. You struggle when your character has no solid base in which to put down its roots, such as in games where there isn't enough structure or ones where the plot is continually changing.

Hi i worked until 3:30am this morning :| A little braindead. May go home and go to bed tonight.

Hetalia Moment

So at work we have this whiteboard outside of our main door. On it someone wrote "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMERICA!!!" with a bunch of stars around it for 4th of July. Stemming my urges to write something sarcastic as well I almost just ignored it - until I saw someone else had added their own note-

Time to take stock and call up exes in the middle of the night. I'm looking at you, England.

Now my limited knowledge of APH does impart to me that England has this psudo-parent relationship with America and Canada (??? Y/N?), but I couldn't help but think that America and England really did have one of those awful breakups with the screaming and making all their mutual friends take sides and only getting back on speaking terms after a long time, and maybe they're still listed in eachother's cellphone as "That Jerk", while Canada and England had more of a "Look, it's not you, it's me. Can we still be friends?" kind of thing.

Yeah, this is what I think about at work.

Speaking of, a glimpse of one of the notes I leave myself:

HARRY POTTER - SATURDAY
PURPLE BOOZE
MAKEUP (+BOOK)
FONDUE STUFF
PAJAMAS!
MADB

SATURDAY

Yep. go me.

LET'S DO A MEME

Now that I have my character lists up - ugh!

Ganked from

katenator

You post a "Top Five" topic, list, category, whatever, in my comments section (please relate it to a character/canon, like you know, "Five girls Sirius Black wouldn't bang," or "Five songs Dionysus would pimp to anyone", etc. Then, in comments, I'll post the answers to all your Top 5 ideas, according to me. Serious or fun! Then you post this offer in your own journal.

Character lists here, here, and here.

Oh squeenix.

So in the English SaGa Frontier strategy guide, it lists the three Sages, Ciato, and Virgil under.... "Female Mystics" in the beastary.

...

Yep.

Thus further proving my idea that Ciato is one of Orlouge's Princesses.

(Attempting to) make it work

So since this is one of those amazing days where I'm at home, Madb is at home and awake, and BETHY is awake/at work as well, I thought WHOA AWESOME I CAN FINALLY START PUTTNG UP ALL MY SHIT THAT NEEDS TO GO ON WALLS. Because they're like super-dense or something, idk, but THUMBTACKS DO NOT GO IN. And before anyone suggests that sticky 'non-glue glue'? It doesn't work. It works fine in the winter but when it gets hot it loses its grip and your shit falls no less than three times a day. I KNOW THIS FROM EXPERIENCE. Especially if its heavy posters.

Thus, hammer and nails. AND A SITUATION WHERE I CAN USE THEM.

...

..

...

Okay who wants to guess what two household items we like NEVER HAVE IN THE HOUSE? Three guesses and the first doesn't count :|

AND IT'S A HOLIDAY SO I CAN'T JUST GO BUY SOME.

But I found nails. Now all I need is a hammer.

Public Service Announcement

I know some of the FP crowd has me on their Friendslist, so I'm only going to say this once.

If you have a problem with me or think my leaving was suspect, how about you put on your big girl panties and talk to me about it?

Thanks. ♥

We now resume your regularly scheduled programming.

News from the front.

Work blows.

Full of hate.

Hate and picnic food.

Awful headache at least gone.

Need booze, bath and book when I get home.

Considering starting a shit list.

If only to put a center manager's name at the top.

Don't you even fucking dare trying to kid around with me you motherfucking son of a bitch I will fucking curb stomp you if I ever see you, you hear me?

Still full of hate.

Happy Canada Day, to my loved ones out there living the American Dream, due North.

In honor of it, for the "Independence Day" team meeting we're having today, I bought a pack of Canada Dry Ginger Ale along with the sodas. Cheers. ♥

Someday I'll Fly Away

OMG. OMG.

Guess what? Guess what? Chicken-butt.

I got my ticket. After arguing with my bank (which turned out to be less arguing and more "Um, I'm having this problem." "I don't see why you would be having that problem." "So I won't have this problem again?" "No, you will not have this problem again." "*DOES NOT HAVE PROBLEM AGAIN.*") I've got my ticket.

TO JAPAN-
Leaving
SEA-TAC by way of Delta flight 3511 (Operated by Northwest airlines as NW flight 7) at 2:15 PM on Monday, August 3rd.
Arriving
Tokyo-Narita at 4:40pm Tuesday August 4th.

TO HOME-
Leaving
Tokyo-Narita by way of Delta flight 3520 (Operated by Northwest airlines as NW Flight 8) at 4:10pm on Saturday, August 15th.

Made a joking comment that aside from an act of god, I should be able to make it to my IRL game tomorrow.

Thirty minutes later and my throat has gotten itchy, steadily getting worse throughout the day.

DAMN IT, RICHARDS.

Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet (BONUS! Cover by The Killers)
10speed - Space Queen
Weezer - Pork and Beans
Katy Perry - Hot n' Cold (whatever you think of her- and believe me I have a very low opinion myself - the music vid for this is still fucking hilarious and terribly entertaining. BRIDES WITH BASEBALL BATS.)
Lovex - Guardian Angel
Anna Nalick - Breathe (2AM)
Nelly Furtado - I am Like a Bird
