today has been very stressful.

kind of a long story, but basically my aunt's bf is in a lot of pain so my aunt asked me to pick up his prescription and mail it to him in ny. except, mailing narcotics is a federal offense and I don't want to go to prison. so I said, "sorry but no." she said, "oh ok..." today, grandma calls. I am going to NY today. she does obligatory "so nice to be able to see you!" things before going into the whole "so you really need to get his meds and take them with you..." to which I reply, "definitely not." --seeing as no one wants to get arrested by airport security. however, grandma's personality is one where she talks over you constantly. plus, she guilt trips you. so I had to make my point by going shouting into the phone that I would not be doing it. grandma gets angry, yells, and I hang up and immediately send email stating there was no point in going to NY just to be treated like a bad person by the entire family.

my grandma, being incredibly naturally gossipy, forwards the email to the entire family so everyone is involved. am now juggling several people pressuring me into doing it with me going, "no." spent day feeling upset and angry while questioning my decision to not go and always deciding it was right. then andrew, who had been incredibly supportive the entire day, breaks down and tells me that he is in fact quite disappointed and was looking forward to going to NY quite a bit. I decide it's unfair for me to take that away from him; consequently, it's three hours before the flight and I am packing. but I digress, the point of the entry was in fact something much more important!

Look, it's Artea!

They actually gave Dekar pink hair AHAHAHAH

seriously though, arty's character design is hot.

AHAHAHAHA ugh.

estpolis site was updated today--tia's profile added. she REALLY sounds like cutesy lolicon bait now. I'm officially meh because I never approve of characters that sound 12 years old when they're, you know, not.

2009-12-09T20:54:38Z

UGH okay one more tiny rant:

things I hate volume ????:

communities on lj that are completely overrun by nothing but icon posts. my feelings on icons aside, I just wish they were more contained within their own communities because I feel that the majority of communities on lj are also made up of a majority of icon posts--instead of actual content. as someone with no interest in icons, this is essentially filler. I join a community with the intent that it will fulfill its purpose--discussion, art (*ACTUAL* ART yeah I went there), etc. and inevitably that purpose is shoved aside for icon post after icon post.

okay I'm done

REALLY

lufia has always been srs biz to me~

2009-12-09T17:30:47Z

I really hate the Lufia fandom sometimes. Or I guess more specifically, just the kind I encounter on gamefaqs (which is the only place I can finddddd). For something I'm vastly excited about, I'm tired of all the minuscule flaws people are finding and/or making up for the game for the sake of "But it's Square!" Nevermind Square has shit to do with the game besides money and marketing--they now have everything to do with it and are the reason for everything wrong with it!

That's pretty old at this point though, so whatever. what is recently pissing me off is the slew of comments raging at Maxim's new design for being too different-- he smiles! he has a leather jacket! leather jacket! how dare they rape my beloved character with a filthy piece of dead cow! he's so metrosexual now!

Then Tia's new design comes along (here if you want to see) and the general consensus is "Red hair?! Goggles?! Chainsaw?! ......She's now the perfect waifu! I love it!"

My opinion on Tia's design aside (my opinion anyway: awesome; it's cute and I always hated the original tia for being an insipid bitch anyway) I'm angry at the reactions. Maxim gets a leather-god-damn-jacket and hundreds of fanboys hold up their mighty nerd hand to lay down the law against the man for daring to change what was in fact the perfect hero. Tia comes up and is now so completely different from her old character that she isn't even recognizable, and they approve. why? because her cuteness and sex appeal skyrocketed. I wouldn't even bring up sex appeal, but taking in mind the community of gamefaqs (where they're proud to be lolicons) the fact they gave tia a younger (literally younger--she's officially jailbait now) and cuter personality probably correlates directly to sexual appeal.

Anyway, for a community who has been bitching about the traditionalism of Lufia nonstop (leather jacket! leather jacket! bawwww!) to graciously approve the redesign of the ladies (because no one has said anything bad about Selan's new look either) is shallow and asinine. what is the message here? Don't change anything about my beloved Lufia unless you make the women hotter? yeah, go fuck yourselves.

I don't even find these reactions surprising, although I had hoped for better from the lufia community. it's just that for people who adamantly despise square-enix, they do a good job of acting like every other square-enix game community there is-- where nothing REALLY matters except how hot they've made the women.

so this is ~finals week~ and I have stressed myself out so badly I think I made myself sick from it yesterday (god help me, I might get Bs for grades!!! /slit wrists)

point being, I pretty much only have today to study for my asian art history final tomorrow. if I can get 96+, I get an A. Anything else? B. oh god!

anyway, since I only have one day to memorize about 40 images (of fucking ARCHITECTURE ugh) and, you know, art-history-concept-like-things (of fucking ARCHITECTURE ugh) that means I have resorted to what I call "drastic studying."

these are my study notes. the only way I can get through it is by somehow re-imagining everything as cake-like and nothing things like "the man in that photograph has a yellow shirt."

I am not cut out for buildings because they all look the fucking same to me. ;_(\

Dude.

Andrew made me ramen that smells exactly like Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

I don't mean "oh a wiff of cinnamon huh?"

I MEAN THE CEREAL ITSELF

it was like an EXACT copy.

lawd, and I thought my experiments with ramen turned out weird.

((un)fortunately it did not taste like Cinnamon Toast Crunch)

HI

Man, my life is so boring. I'm just doing this so everyone knows I'm aliiiive~

So uhm, saw Ponyo yesterday. It was cute and likeable but not definitely not Miyazaki's best. Like... it was so simple, but he introduced so many things that he never developed that it felt sloppy. Plus I felt he grabbing some inspiration from Howl's Moving Castle. Wizard dude was totally cute.

After that, snuck into that new Quentin Tarantino movie. Typically I find it hard to get into a movie if you crash it halfway through, but this one was pretty easy. I think most Tarantino movies are like that. It was good but like........YOU try going from cutesy Miyazaki movie about goldfish girl x 5 year old boy romance tale and immediately following up with Nazi Germany and Hitler death plots. I walked out feeling oddly accomplished and confused. Good job, me.

Andddd I PIRATED PAINTER XI :D number of people who care: 0

It's because you're all pussies who like Photoshop best 8D You damn heathens :D

That's really it. HOW IS EVERYONE? ALIVE? GOOD.

ps I finally bought star ocean 2 off amazon. I'm so fucking excited. I've been wanting to play this game again for years. Am slightly paranoid though because seller didn't leave any desc. besides "USED - LIKE NEW" and me seeing it was only 23 bucks. :< IF IT DOESN'T COME WITH A CASE... I WILL SMASH THINGS

2009-08-03T19:41:55Z

BAWWWW

WHY IS NO ONE EVER ONLINE WHEN I AM

So I'm currently chilling in the San Jose airport and FYI for anyone thinking of visiting this fine location: WORST. AIRPORT. EVER. Tons of construction and I had to take a damn bus from one terminal to the other -AND- my facial soap was confiscated for being a potential terrorist. The security here is 5x more extreme than in LAX which makes no sense because srsly who is gonna blow up San Jose.

That aside, have returned from my week of cartrippin' (I just made that word up; it sounds fab I know) with my mom and attending Noah's wedding. For a Jewish wedding, it was pretty great. I almost got sentimental <_< I never knew I was the type. But. Kids just grow up so fast these days. I remember when Noah was *this big* and now she's a married woman.

Other than that, I wanted to keep grandma from finding out about boyfriend at all costs and ironically it was my aunt whom I should have been concerned about. She is EXTREMELY gossipy about him and I had people I hadn't seen in -years- coming up to me and going ";D ;D so who is this guy of yours" and I say "WHAT GUY WHERE DID YOU HEAR THAT FROM"

so yeah, because of my aunt, pretty much everyone knows BUT grandma. orz

speaking of boyfriend, he's pretty cute. He's talking about making me lunch (because he wants to watch my nutrition /eyeroll) and I was trying to persuade him against it until he said, "What, you don't want me to make you bento lunches?" And then the word "bento" killed me and I went :>!!! and said he would make a great waifu someday.

and that is everything \o/ I miss people but idk why have you all disappeared god you lot make lousy internet nerds without me

ARGH hi. sorry for being quiet. am on road trip so online access has been difficult. right now, I'm in Calmexi or something like that. It's pretty much a town on the mexican border. so hot outside :'( I believe mom had this idea of a road trip for some final bonding time before she moves to mexico, but it's so damn hot that we've pretty much been snarking each other the entire time. but I guess that's just another form of love~~

speaking of rabu rabu time, the boyfriend thing is going well. we're surprisingly complimentary. the night before I left, he took me to the rocky horror picture show where I ate a twinkie off some dude's stomach. there is no way in hell i would ever do that shit if left to my own devices but when surrounded by weirdos, act as they do and all that jazz \o/. apparently, he is quite surprised at the relationship because his first impression of me was "frigid bitch" (he actually phrased that part nicely, but that's essentially what he meant).

and that's it! tomorrow i believe mom wants to do mexico stuff and go to san diego for the zoo and whatnot. and then we're hanging out until friday and then going to my cousin's wedding and I'm returning to portland on monday~

2009-07-13T03:15:14Z

whooo

so I finally found a stable internet connection! last night, i remembered that I had last minute homework to do but I didn't want to bother my aunt. so I quietly left the house (dude, this was around 11:40 pm last night) and wandered the streets in search of some free immediate wifi. there's a connection that is actually just a little bit down the street. however, sitting on a dark street around midnight with your laptop is pretty much as creeptastic as it sounds, so I gtfo after 10 minutes.

but now I've returned during the light of day!

and it's drizzling so I may die from electrocution. maybe.

anyway the point is that I've finally found internet to steal! 8D

arghhh I am so frustrated. I just missed my first doctor's appointment in five years, which I really kind of needed, because mom told me the WRONG PLACE TO BE AT. And when I found out where I was supposed to be, it was a place I HAD NEVER HEARD OF. and consequently had no idea how to get to.

so I spent 30 minutes driving around before giving up and going home.

naturally, I found it on the way back. 40 minutes too late.

I know we both love summer, but you drastically changing my sleeping schedule without warning is either very alarming or very annoying. I'm not sure which yet.

either way, stop waking me up at 6:30 in the morning!

I have my reputation to think of.

plus, I simply have no idea what to do at that hour.

much love,

So, yesterday I had a serious craving for sugar and candy. It probably didn't help that Mom just bought choco mint chip & brownie ice cream and a fuckton of saltwater taffy.

Naturally, I gorged myself on it. It was appropriately <3.

Next day, I'm eyeing the leftovers and I think: Do I want more?

Then a horrifying realization hit me.

I didn't.

For the first time in my life, I had no desire to eat any sweets whatsoever. What-so-fucking-ever. I had gorged myself so thoroughly that the thought of more delicious chocolate just made me go, "Eh. Maybe some other time."

And that is when I realized the sad truth: I AM BECOMING AN ADULT.

Sometimes I even experience things such as the dreaded sugar-induced headache. wtf! I never got those when I was younger, no matter how much I ate! Where is my tolerance for sickening sweet foods going!

Come back, kid inside me! Don't go! I'm not ready for this life of adult taste buds just yet!

........ ;A;

should've written my paper on gardevoir vs misdreavus

2009-05-02T21:35:59Z

UGH WRITING TEACHER

I like that he's critical, I really do (usually at least), but I'm sensing what may be a DOUBLE STANDARD in the works here.

On first paper, his major criticisms:

"You lack organization and focus! You deviate too much! STAY ON TOPIC THIS ENTIRE PARAGRAPH IS IRREVALANT RAAAHAKHKSHNM I give you a B!"

me: ;A;

So on second paper (which is a WIP right now-- half my paper so far consists of notes for my team in pokemon pearl (gardevoir or misdreavus? hmmm)), his thoughts on my topic (which is debating the legality of bittorrent when ~~the RIAA~~ US copyright laws are taken into account) (PS the answer is yes of course but shh I have to appear fair and balanced in the paper and not act like ~~the RIAA~~ certain companies are whiny pussies out to ruin everyone's fun)

ANYWAY so the comments he gave for my arguments were, "HOW DOES NAPSTER PLAY INTO THIS" (who gives a fuck about napster anymore that is so 1999 and ps you're the one who said "peer-2-peer programs is too vague a topic, you need to narrow it down" which is why I SPECIFICALLY MADE MY PAPER ABOUT BITTORRENT) and he goes on to say, (this is a direct quote) "Finally, one argument may be that right now is just not the right time because there are bigger fish to fry."

bitch if I tried either of those, you would immediately slap me down and dock me 40 points for NOT FOCUSING ENOUGH

not only that, but the latter's "argument" could be used in ANYONE'S PAPER yet I didn't see him mentioning that to the chick who is writing on whether or not fluoride should be added to our drinking water or the salmon regulation woman.

\o/ god writing teachers, why can't they be consistently anal like a normal person

for those curious, here are my notes for gardevoir vs. misdreavus in my paper:

gardevoir:

pros:
- overall great stats, especially specials
- psychic, which owns a lot of shit
- not bad looking
- the pokedex description for it is cute

cons:
- everyone loves gardevoir
- I mean really loves gardevoir; I'm sick of the fucking porno out there (thank you, 4chan)
- misdreavus looks cooler

misdreavus:

pros:
- overall good stats
- purple, which is <3
- ghost, which is probably useful. no normal attacks work on it.
- but even if it isn't, it can learn psychic anyway so who cares

cons:
- ghost, which probably sucks more than is useful
- gardevoir has better stats

Thoughts? Should I take Gardevoir even though every time I look at it I will remember 4chan fanboys fapping away at Kirlia? Or Misdreavus, which looks cool but kinda sucks in comparison?

my life is so banal

Today's observation:

Burgundy Frost looks like shit on short nails. Either that, or there are some colors that really are made for toes only. I feel I should paint my toes and find out but matching hands and feet is just gauche.

Choosing the right shade of nail polish is too damn hard sometimes. :( This is why I should stick with clear.

Other news: I was driving home and there was a mini tornado (is there a particular word for that? it was almost as big as a mid-sized tree) on the side of the highway. My initial reaction was: "Cool. I want to jump into it and see what it's like." Of course, I just drove past it because I was on the fucking highway bawwww

now I'll spend the rest of my life wondering "what if" ;_;

lemaineac @ 2009-04-20T20:29:00

2009-04-21T03:37:51Z

Update on road trip! And this time, I shall update using proper grammar and punctuation for a change. \o/

So NOT ONLY DID I NOT GET LOST although there were a couple times where I thought, "Okay I HAVE to be going in the wrong direction now." But I even managed to find my way back with NO MAPQUEST AT ALL. Amazing! Reading signs really does work!

And although I will never admit this to my actual family (I have worked too long on my "I hate traveling I hate car trips I hate planes no I don't want to go anywhere ever" reputation) the drive was really pleasant. It's kinda cathartic to drive by myself on a freeway for a few hours with all the windows down and the radio blaring on a sunny day with good traffic. Especially since half the drive is really pretty with a bunch of mossy trees and rivers and lakes and stuff. AND A TUNNEL who doesn't like going through tunnels because I think we can all agree that tunnels are pretty damn cool am I right.

Also, I realized that Portland drivers are a bunch of pussies. When I can easily pass half of traffic by going at the speed limit instead of over the speed limit then you know something is up.

But I guess I'm not much better because I'm the only person I know who needs to put on SPF 50 sunblock for driving ahhhhhjkdhhkj and I think part of my neck still got sunburned. :[

PS I like how there's finally a lot of attention being paid to the environment as of late. There's a lot of commercials and such encouraging people to go green and energy conservation. I just wish it hadn't taken the environment to be on the verge of collapse for it to happen in the first place.

lemaineac @ 2009-04-19T16:55:00

2009-04-20T00:06:02Z

ahhhhjkzjknlm

tomorrow I'm going on my first ever road trip by myself which I was okay with until I maquest'd directions and did not recognize half of the directions it gave me.

;A; is it really my fault that I'm just a visual landmark kinda girl? (okay yeah it is but I don't want to hear it)

but seriously, what kind of direction is "Go southwest toward NF-9760"? when did we stop using actual words? did I miss a memo somewhere? I like words, they're much more memorable than "TURN SLIGHT RIGHT ONTO NF-9768"

did I ever tell my flist the story about how I got lost for 45 minutes finding a grocery store in new york city that was across the street from me the entire time? no? well, that's how bad my sense of direction is. my family still finds that story highly entertaining.

whyyy god whyyy did I get such worthless talents such as english and art when science and geography is so much more useful

it doesn't help that this road trip is really just an eight hour car ride to Portland so I can take a damn math test (which is just another useful talent I never got bawww).

bawwww

bawwwww

okay, I'm done whining. now I just need to pray I can actually zig zag my way into portland tomorrow.

\o/ LET'S DO IT!!!!!

LATER

Risoun (10:26:02 PM):
I welcome those of Fraser descent, and those wishing to give allegiance to the clan. Non Frasers are welcomed as friends of the clan or "Bowl O'Meal" Frasers. The expression "Bowl O'Meal" derives from my ancestors the 11th Lord Lovat who strengthened the clan by exchanging oatmeal on the condition that men adopt the name Fraser and fight for the clan.

OH WAIT

Risoun (10:31:26 PM):
Legend has it that the infamous 11th Lord Lovat brewed a whisky so potent that it gave his clansmen’s extra strength and courage before charging the English in the first wave at the Battle of Culloden, 1745. Each Lord Lovat since has relied on a private reserve to bring strength in times of need.

TO CONCLUDE: pojo's family is 500x more interesting than mine will ever be

re: my mom

2009-03-21T21:13:40Z

So mom got back from the hospital today. I wish she would stop treating my driving like it's a god damn personal death sentence. C'mon mom, I think FLINCHING AND SHIELDING YOURSELF WITH YOUR ARMS every time I break at a stoplight is just a teeny tiny bit overreacting. ffs, I am more cautious and paranoid than most drivers my age.

As you can guess, she is doing fine. >O

In other news, on the way home we had the following conversation:

me: You know I'll be 21 in August, right.
mom: Yes.
me: That means I can buy alcohol legally.
mom: Yeah.
me: I don't feel I've done nearly as much underaged drinking as I should have. My youth is going to waste.
mom: What, you want me to buy you whiskey as a present?
me: Yeah! Or rum, vodka... hard liquor in general, really. Nothing lame like wine coolers.

*pause*

me: But seriously. You'll buy me some booze the next time you go into town, right?
mom: I just said I would.
me: :D!

I know having your own parent endorsing your plea to get drunk defeats the idea of "underaged drinking" but fuck me, I'll take it anyway.

Risoun (1:25:22 AM): that...sounds... kinda terrible
VoodooHamster (1:25:37 AM): my sister has all my stuff anyway, if I go and kill myself
Risoun (1:26:12 AM): I have wondered what happens if I die and none of you guys ever find out
Risoun (1:26:21 AM): but I figure if you never see me for half a year, you can assume the worst
VoodooHamster (1:26:32 AM): "she got a boyfriend"
Risoun (1:26:49 AM): th..that's...
Risoun (1:26:50 AM): hm
Risoun (1:26:57 AM): god, it's more likely just to assume I'm dead
VoodooHamster (1:27:35 AM): that is sort of depressing
Risoun (1:27:52 AM): I did say that and immediately think, "ZING! ... sigh"

... just so we're all on the same page for future events.

Sometimes I'll hear the Pokemon theme song on TV and I'll be overwhelmed with the urge to drop everything and start a new file. Not often, but once every two years or so.

It's so awkward. I'm gonna be 40 years old and I'll be all "OHSHIT" to my kids. "I GOTTA PLAY POKEMON RED RIGHT NOW." And by that time they'll be on Pokemon Eggshell White and Duchess Purple, and I'll just get weird looks from them, like "who the fuck plays RED" and then I'll reply with "shut up brats, everyone knows charizard was the best starter ever" and then they'll roll their eyes and I'll have to threaten to ground them on the basis of treachery and that will be that.

but when they're cute and tiny I'll entertain them on fairy tales of the elusive Missingno and what it was like to play roms back when emulators had no save states and how people pirated things when there was no bittorrent or google.

... And this is just another example on why nerds should never reproduce.
