I still can't really taste that well, but I'M FEELING BETTER TODAY! 8D







I also went to Best Buy and got the CD+DVD package of Nirvana Live at Reading, and the 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of Bleach. They were the last copies of both. I was like "a;sldgjadlkglitjaslkgjads; kgjleslg;lsiagalsh;lskdjgdhggldkh;oahalskj". Then I bought them. |D






It's only 9 PM but I'm kind of tired. I've been getting up early lately, packing a lot into my days. I'm really enjoying not having to waste time at school. I wonder if this is significant, that I'm feeling so rested and energetic getting the same amount of sleep, but without having to go to that God forsaken building on the edge of town?



Been getting lots of writing done, and I hope to finish this project by Christmas. That's how well it's going. xD


I need to get a new phone. Seriously. While my aunt is here, I need to get a new fucking phone so that I can... Well, have a phone. And run up my friends' phone bills. A-duh. e_e



Mm-kay. Gonna go take a shower, then relax or something. Go to bed. Get lucky. And SLEEP IN.




Yeah.

That's what I said.




...Sleep in. >_>




;askg;j HEY RABBIT, DON'T CUT OFF ANY DARK BALLS
AND MONKEY, STOP SPANKING THE CASEY
Hope everything's going/staying okay with you guys out there in the offline world, too. We need to seriously try to have another weekend party like we did that one time. Really.

So, I've been officially dropped from CHS today. Gotta call the GED office later this afternoon, return the papers ASAP so I can send in the application for the test in a couple weeks--and if not, the one in December.


Ugh, and I've got such a bad cough. Some family friends came over saying, "I think I might have H1N1!" (gee, thanks) But they got checked out and it was just a respiratory bug. So...they came and visited our house for about an hour or so.

Emily got sick first, now I'm sick, now two of the foster kids have fevers and Emily and Danette's fevers just broke. I haven't had a cough this bad since... Seventh grade, probably. It's one of those deep, croupy ones, that feels like a burning knife is stabbed in your chest when you cough--can't take a deep breath without having to cough, can't laugh, can barely tip my head a certain way without having to cough. My head throbs, my sinuses hurt with pressure, my body aches, and my mom gave me night-time medicine and I'm fighting the drowsiness right now. x\


8D Anyway, all of that aside.


( MOtaku '09 )


Yeah. It was a pretty fun weekend. Enough to get us through until the next big con, the next vacation with friends...


Alright, now the really fun stuff. >D We did a photoshoot for Halloween, but I've just been... Mm, too sick to really focus on getting these up. In fact, I just finished putting them up on DA.

But! Here they are. And trust me. You wanna see these. >3

( AkuRokuXi: All Hallows' Eve )


Okay, and last but not least, actual Halloween pictures. =D

( Happy fucking Halloween. )



Mm, okay. Gonna go draw, lay around, rest up. Hopefully write later on.

Catch you all later. =D

Promised photos will come later as promised.


For now:


"Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
Knowing when to come in out of the rain
Why the early bird gets the worm
Life isn’t always fair,

and maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.
Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

He declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an Aspirin to a student, but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home without the burglar suing you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot, spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust, by his wife Discretion, his daughter Responsibility, and his son Reason. He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers: I Know My Rights; I Want It Now; Someone Else Is To Blame; and I’m A Victim.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing."

(Printed in The London Times)

Sometimes I really fucking love Halloween. =D


Alright, so I've got a massive fic to read later on (WOO you guys finished it in time!), I've still got photos from MOtaku to post, and I've got a special photoshoot from last night to put up. I also am going to have photos from tonight, because... Well, you'll just have to see.



Anyway, I've gotta keep getting ready to scare--I mean, hand out candy. And then later on, when it's really dark, we're going to go around and trick-or-treat, too. e__e Yeah, you heard me.



God, tonight would be the perfect night to have a pack of Camels.



Until the next post (hopefully one with lots of photos!), Happy Halloween everyone. >D

I've got Cobain's disease.

Raving = my new favorite work-out.








Pictures and shit later on. For now... Sleep. And more denial that I have an increasingly stressing amount of stuff to do tomorrow.

Oh, God. I've really had a bad averseness to the internet lately.


I wanted today to be a slam-through-homework day, because tomorrow and Sunday is the con. But... As it went, I really only did a little bit because I've been taking care of the kids all day. My mom had to take my grandma in to St. Joe for a mammograph and they're just on their way home right now. Plus, I woke up at six or seven AM and felt like shit, tossed and turned for an hour, finally fell asleep again for a few hours and woke up still feeling like my head was about to explode due to snot and sinus pressure.



I'm tired of it. -sigh.-



Anyway, got preparations for the weekend to do, and maybe I can fit in some writing before the night is over.


I probably won't really be online again until Sunday night--maybe even Monday. But I'll be back with pictures and videos, definitely. >D



Later, guys.




P.S. Until then, you know my number. And Britt's, seeing as my phone is basically umbilically attached to the charger. For real.

...Wait, what?



The middle school is starting a new policy where, if you exceed the allowed amount of absences per semester, they won't give you Saturday school but will instead look at your work and if you're caught up, you're fine? In an attempt to weed out the bad apples and academically troubled kids?




REALLY!



First good idea the middle school's had.


If only THE HIGH SCHOOL WOULD DO THIS TOO.



But, nope, I get to hand over 10 hours of my life in good old Saturday School before the semester's over or I don't get credit. Even though, you know, all my absences have been excused because I've been sick. With a fever. And maybe we wouldn't have hand-foot-and-mouth disease, H1N1, and MRSA going around the high school if kids were allowed to stay home when they're sick. Fuck, maybe that wouldn't even matter. These white trash, insignificant assemblies of cells aren't clean. I've never smelled such putrid clothes, houses, and cars in my life. Take a shower at least twice a week, please? If it's possible?



(And now I'm thinking, How do these people copulate and produce so many teenage pregnancy babies before the age of 18? EW! EW! EWWWW!)

Xion is not flat. How dare you guys make fun of her for being A-cup. Jesus, you judgmental people!


Mm-kay, guys. Enough joking. I'm serious now.


Thanks to those of you who actually tried to refer to what I was talking about as far as comparing Roxas and Xion because you do have a point and I hear you on it, and I totally appreciate your comment because it actually applies to what I'm addressing. But putting those one or two comments aside, let's think, now. If I make an aggravated post implying that I'm sick of people calling Xion unnecessary and shit like that, do you really think it's wise to comment on it and blatantly ignore the fact that I'm fed up with it, just to give your two cents about why you think she's unnecessary, too?


What, do I need to start disabling comments or something if we can't all catch the drift of my posts? I wasn't looking for a fucking debate, alright? If you'd read my post instead of simply replying because I mentioned Xion, zomg discussion topic, then you would have understood that telling me you found the character flat or Sue-ish (whether at the beginning of the game or not) was not the right way to go in commenting.


This isn't the first time I've gotten comments from people--a number of people--that have no relevance to what I'm saying, save for the smallest mite--that usually has to do with them, anyway.



So, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go wrap some things up so I can get to a fic I'm writing that, oh my gosh, includes Xion for being Xion, and has interaction between Xion and Axel and Roxas and is still an Axel/Roxas fic and somehow alludes to 358/2 so much it's not even funny, even though I didn't start the game until after I'd planned the fic out. Weird, how these things all fit together naturally.



Plus, I need to finish the game because I'm loving it for all the characters and all their involvement in the plot. 8D



Over and out.

OH MY GOD, YOU GUYS.



Roxas was some unknown blond kid who showed up and randomly took over the first two hours of KH2, but nobody had a problem with him. Nobody knew who he was or where he came from or what he was doing there, save for his interaction with a member of the CoM gang, but DID ANYONE CALL HIM A MARY-SUE?



In other words:


Saying Xion is "unnecessary" is being in denial of her presence as a "third wheel". If Roxas isn't a Mary-Sue, NEITHER IS XION. GET THE FUCK OVER IT. SHE'S A CHARACTER IN THE GAME. SHE'S IMPORTANT.






GAWD.
