The Icon Faerie

One of the beauties of a slow moving, thread-based game is that I can take time answering tags. Not days in between, understand, but I haven't slept in thirty-six hours. I'm not logging/threading with anyone right now because it'll come out to be shit. I will get to it when I get to it, so FUCK OFF.

I'll do two of my 30 day meme tomorrow. I am over today.

So I haven't updated much because honestly it's been kind of low-key around here, but today I finally have good news, so here's what's been going on in the last week.

1. I worked two days in a week for the first time in a long time. I love pretending like I'm going to be a contributing member of society.

2. I joined westerosorting and am working diligently on finishing AFFC so that I can get my app in so I can find out what great house I belong to. \o/

3. I am taking my second GRE on Saturday and I have been relearning how to do algebra, geometry, fractions, and learning about statistics and probability so that I can do better than I did originally. I also wish that I could somehow inherently improve my essay writing skillz like a mofo but alas I don't think it's going to happen. I'm just going to have to make sure that I'm doing my best.

4. On the TV front, my mom has started watching Dirty Sexy Money with me, and my dad has taken to watching Heroes with me so that he can make fun of me when I make noises and yell at the TV. I also finally finished Angel (I liked it, but not as much as I liked Buffy -- it had its moments, like Smile Time wherein Angel becomes a puppet). Joss always kills my favorites, though. The bastard. :( With Angel behind me I no longer have an excuse for not writing Reneesme Cullen/Connor Angel-slash-Reilly I can now watch Doctor Who and Torchwood, which I have started to do -- Doctor Who, anyway. I'm making myself wait for Torchwood (WAH). I think I secretly adore Christopher Eccleston and I want a TARDIS for Christmas.

5. There were many lolz to be had in RP last night. LOLZ are the only reason I do anything anymore.

6. I was contemplating doing NaNoWriMo because I really, really want to and I have an idea and everything, but I'm just not sure. I don't want to start it and be on track only to not do anything for three days in the middle of the month and then boom get behind and discouraged. I might do it anyway, since I don't have pile of homework and three term papers like I have in years past. >_>

7. One reason I love my Movie Gallery job: I get to talk about movies and be paid for it. My co-worker and I last Saturday talked about scary movies with basically every customer who came in and wanted a copy of The Happening, which we can't seem to keep on the shelf. She can't do them at all, and my problem is that I can never seem to find one that's scary enough. The last one I saw that I was truly scared by was The Blair Witch Project which -- okay, say what you want about that movie, but when you're twelve, watching it in the middle of the night because you know your parents wouldn't let you, and watching it in the dark lest mom and dad become suspicious... that is a fucking scary movie. I did not want to get up off the couch to turn off the TV. Maybe I'm too cynical for scary movies, I just end up thinking, "Man. That's lame," and I inevitably get bored.

8. Friday we were all ready to go to my brother's play(s) and then BAM my sister called my mom and asked if anyone was going to come get her. It was her fall break, except she had neglected to tell anyone this until that point. So we changed our plans and went to Cedar Rapids to get her. I took her back yesterday, and reminded her to tell us the next time she wanted to come home. I'm glad that we got to go to CR, though, I love road tripping with my family because seriously. Some of the stuff that happens when I'm out with all of them I could not make up if I tried.

9. Finally, I got that job I interviewed last week for and I am going tonight to do paperwork. \o/ I am going to go crazy but you know what, at least I will be paid. Not particularly well paid, but still paid.

Not to be repetitive, but equi_nox is looking particularly for the following:

Ron Weasley
Neville Longbottom
Any and all professors

Also... well, anyone they don't have. So. Please?

Apparently today is a milestone of sorts for the RPG'ing part of the fandom with the end of nocturne_alley.

I don't pretend to feel overly attached to the game, since I never played in it and was never an avid reader or follower.

I'm not even sure I can fathom playing the same character for three years. Wow. Not that I wouldn't love to, all of you out there who RP with me know that I love to do it. I wouldn't have been doing it for the last two years if I didn't. (Two years. Wow, it's been a long time.) I thought I was lucky with leviosarpg turned one in March, and the_second_war is nearing one year. Both RPGs are such great groups of people, and so are all of my games. I can only hope our longevity is equal to that of NA.

To NA players who will see this, past and present -- my hat's off to you. I've heard great things and congrats on making a great game, but most of all, I hope you had fun.

That is, after all, what counts. :)

I hope you continue to foray into the RPG side of the HP fandom, and that I run into you sometime. <3

My mouth hurts in places that may or may not have anything to do with having my wisdom teeth removed and I'm bored and I haven't eaten anything solid since Sunday night and I can't remember a quote that I need and I miss Lissa and I feel bad for missing her because she has a real life with a real boy and a real job and she's going to be ubersuccessful because she's supersmart like that and stuffand Crucio is deader than a mackerel and I really do love you all and excuse my French bu FUUUUUUUCK...




I don't think they're giving me enough drugs.

Join The Order. Lots of characters still available for play, I promise you.

sheselectric! I got your letter today. Thank you so much, I'm glad that you enjoy Crucio!Remus, I like him too. He's such a w00bie (and with a PB like Dom Monaghan how can you not like?).

Join The Order.

I have no school tomorrow, I'm so happy that I could (Join The Order.) jump around like a really happy person!

nekiko27, I'm working on the flangst.

Note to self: mail Ev.

And to end this pointless post, join The Order.

Did you like my subliminal messaging? :D Oh come on, I must at least have a James.

Scroll down to the bottom.

Read it.

You'll laugh, I promise.

1. If I ever become a bitter chemistry teacher you have permission to laugh at me.

2. Brr.

3. Chocolate is good.

4. Roger/Eloise = teh cute.

5. I have no coherent thoughts.

Interesting.

In addition to needing a Hermione and Charlie, the_second_war is also in need of a Percy.

It's a very fun, very canon-centric and plot heavy RPG. Check in out!
