Where the heck did the shortcut to my inbox go? I kind of need that?
...
Wait, they've removed Dystopia from the site layout options? Nooooo! It was the only halfway attractive-looking one!
Oh well, guess I'll have to get used to Vertigo... *mutter*
Anyway, seems a big winter storm is expected to drop in today and stay through the next several days. We could get 4-6 inches of show during just one of those days... but the Washington DC area is expecting 10-15. Why do they get all the pretty? :\ Because it's warmer here and we get ours mixed with freezing rain and sleet, I suppose. Blah. So much for taking my dad out for his birthday dinner...
Also, finally started watching Room of King last night. It's so random. XD

It's actually hard to pick my favorite dramas... I discovered as I was doing this meme that I've only seen about 62 series, including Korean and Taiwanese ones. :\ So many dozens more on my waiting list... But yeah, the number of series I would consistently list as favorites adds up to a hearty two, so the rest I just filled in with the ones that, for me, have the most rewatch value. That doesn't necessarily mean they're masterpieces. >>
Pick your 6 favorite dramas and answer the questions (don't look at the questions before):
1. Kimi wa Petto
2. Maou
3. Hanazakari no Kimitachi e
4. Gokusen (first series only, the rest were lame)
5. Love Generation
6. Zettai Kareshi
1. Who is your favorite character from #6?
SOSHI. omg. T_T
2. Who is your least favorite character from #4?
Um... I don't know? They all had their merits... Can I pick that little kid? The school nurse's son? Oh, or the principal was pretty pointless...
3. What would a crossover between #1 and #5 include?
O_o... erm... Riko would take in a 20 year old boy as a pet to make Teppei jealous?
4. Who is your favorite ship from #1?
Sumire x Momo, obviously. D:
5. If you were to set one person from #3 and one person from #6 on a blind date, who would they be?
>_o Umm... Night and... that chick who terrorizes the doctor?
6. If you could meet one person from #4 and spend the day with them, who would it be, and what would you do?
Tetsu and Minoru! We'd run around eating at every food stall in town :D (And yes, I know that's technically two people, but they come in a pair so shush)
7. If you could change one thing about #2's plotline, what would you change?
I wouldn't have the heart to change anything about that series. Except maybe to make it longer *cough*
8. Explain a relationship between two people (not necessarily romantic) from #5, and why you like the relationship between them.
Heh, there aren't really many relationships in that drama besides Riko and Teppei, excluding that annoying ex who tries to steal him back, but she doesn't count. Riko and Teppei are about as canon as any pairing gets, but that drama definitely knew how to do canon right. They were the perfect match.
9. If the lead characters from #1 and #3 were both drowning, and you could only save one, who would it be?
Depends on which lead characters they were. If it was between Momo and... well... no, actually. Momo, hands down.
10. If you were able to add a new character, any kind of character you wanted, to the storyline for #6, what would the character be like and what would their role be?
A non-backstabbing girlfriend for Riiko to yell at her and make her realize she was dating a robot so she'd come to her senses and Soshi could be happy. Shut up, I don't care. SOSHI. T___T
11. What happens in your favorite episode of show #2?
That would be a spoiler, ohnoes! So I'll write it transparently...
They die. D:
12. If you could kill off one of the characters of #1, who would it be and how would you do it?
Hasumi! Momo in the kitchen with the candlestick!
13. If you got the chance to visit the set for either show #3 or show #5, which would you choose?
#3. Oguri Shun and Mizushima Hiro? Come on. :o
14. So, I saved the best question for last. If you could date anyone from any of these shows, which show and which person?
Matsu Takako! ...oh, wait, it's supposed to be a character? Um... Nakatsu Shuichi could be fun? Or... SOSHI. T____T |

I was randomly reminded of my old Ragnarok Online days earlier today, I don't remember why, and I realized that I can't remember what some of my characters' names were. I know my first character was the swordsman Symone, then I had the archer Miera (only remembered that one because she was in my blog archives), assassin Raelin, acolyte Danae, and at various points two other swordsmen named Leeca and Kazaaki... but there was also a mage, a thief, and a merchant whose names I have completely forgotten. Actually, Kazaaki might have been the thief... huh. Anyway, someone also had a pet Poring whose name escapes me, and my mage had a Lunatic which might have been named Eclipse, but not sure...
Yeah, don't ask me where any of this came from, or why it matters. I just miss my girls now and then.
Wondering if I should make some hot chocolate or tea...
[edit: Oh! Maelstra! *hugs blog archives* ...wow, what a cheesy name for a mage, haha.] |

I'd do these more often if they'd ask more questions that I could actually answer...
1. What did you dream about last night? I think I was staying with Dumplin' and her family for some reason, but the only things I remember happening were her dad waking me up once and then me trying to take a shower...
2. Do you record your dreams in your blog or a journal? I used to, but got too lazy to keep it up. Besides, over the years my dreams have been getting more and more vague, and by the time I get over here to write them down, I only remember little incoherent pieces and feelings, not enough to be worth saving.
3. Do you think dreams are messages our bodies are trying to tell us? If so, are you real big on trying to interpret all the details? I believe in a way they can, but not particularly in a prophetic sense or even directly. As I see it, dreams show us our true, sometimes deeply hidden feelings and opinions about people, places, events, etc. I noticed a while back that certain people have always appeared and acted the same way in my dreams over the course of many years, so it led me to believe that So-And-So as she appears in my dreams is the way my mind/heart/whatever subconsciously perceives So-And-So to be in real life, etc... if that makes sense. And I think events and other specific details that occur in dreams come from things that have a deep subconscious meaning to us... things we love, hate, desire, fear, things we know well or wish we did... blah blah.
4. Do you remember your first nightmare? Yes. I was 3 or 4, I think, and I dreamed a train ran over our house, which happened to be located right next to railroad tracks, upon which a train happened to be running when I was shaken out of the dream. I fell out of the bed and ran to my parents' room, I was so scared. Can't believe I didn't grow up with a fear of trains...
5. Have you ever had a recurring dream? If you did, what was it and what do you think it meant? I've had a couple dreams that repeated one or two additional times, but not lots of times or even in consecutive nights... so I'm gonna say no. |

Yes, yes, and yes.
I am SICK AND TIRED of people, mostly ones who haven't even known me longer than a few hours, telling me crap like "You'll understand when (not if, when) you get married/have kids too" and "Don't worry, you'll find someone someday" and "We need to find you a good man" and "I know! Let's strap you to the hood of my car and drive you down the freeway so all the men in the state can see you!" (yes, someone seriously suggested that to me) just because I don't walk around chained up to a male of my species 24/7.
I am SICK AND TIRED of being thought of as less of a human than everyone else just because I don't have a ring on my finger or a bunch of little human parasites clinging to me.
I am SICK AND TIRED of people assuming that I must be some lonely, reclusive, miserable, pathetic little creature with no life and no purpose just because I'm single. Yes, I'm well aware that I am all of those things, but it's not because I'm single. I'd be even more pathetic if I wasn't single. >>
And I am SICK AND TIRED of putting up with people who can't get it through their heads that some of us are just. not. interested. Some of us don't believe that happiness and personal value are dependent upon relationship status. Some of us are interested in taking our own paths through the journey that is life, finding the happiness of our own choosing, and contributing to the human race in some way that doesn't involve increasing its already dangerously high population.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not completely anti-relationship and I don't believe there's no such thing as love or anything like that. Some people are into that sort of thing, and that's fine. More power to them. Just don't look down at me as though I were some less-than-human being just because you're into it and I'm not. Do I belittle your existence because I like studying kanji and you don't? Same principle. (And if you're someone who likes studying kanji, don't argue with me :P it's just an example!)
I could go on - I even wrote an essay about all this junk several years ago that I intended to post but never did - but meh. I have other stuff to do. |

So here you go, any and all who are prepared for a long, fangirly read - my own experience staffing for Suicide Ali at Nekocon!

You know, when you've been waiting for something for several months, or even almost a year, there's always such a massive void left after it finally comes and goes. And in my case, there were several such somethings that simultaneously culminated in this past month or so, which multiplies the effect even further. Now that they're in my past, it almost feels like there's nothing more to live for.
I don't mean that in any kind of suicidal or melodramatic sense at all. I just mean, after a major milestone that you'd built up to for a long time is finally past (or several all at once in my case), it's hard to regain the motivation to do anything else. I still have so much to do, but all my brain keeps telling me is "nope, you're done, so just wait it out."
Actually, that's probably just me, isn't it? |

...I can't believe I just now realized that, since the member change, all the Suicide Ali members' romanized names end in I. O_o Goshi, Hiroshi, Hisashi, Kozi...
So I'm home and just slept for 8 hours for the first time in, uh, weeks? And I have con reports to write and everything to unpack and 700 emails to go through (er, 660 now... go me?) and a million other things to do but HOLY FREAKING AWESOMESAUCE SUICIDE ALI. I AM TOO FANGIRLY TO MAKE SENSE. MOMMY I WANNA KEEP THEM PLEEEEEEASE.
We didn't even have as much time for the kind of relaxed low-key hanging-out-like-drunken-buddies interaction that we did last year, since the poor boys were kept so busy and sleep-deprived all weekend that by the end of the last day they were literally falling asleep on their feet... and it all kinda felt a little more businesslike than personal compared to last year (but fun-businesslike, at least, not totally work-centric or boring... just not quite as personal), but STILL. I love these guys so much it's not funny. ;_; Why can they only come once a year? Whyyyyyyyy?
And GOSHI. Oh, god, Goshi. ;______; That boy made my day year life so many times and in so may ways this year, on business levels, personal levels, conversational levels, random dorky levels... I hope I remember them all by the time I get to them in my reports because omg seriously. ♥
And you know, because I'm a geek, I even made a countdown of the Top 3 Entertainment-related Goshi Moments That Made My Life in 2009! 8D
#3 - This one didn't even involve me, but I just overheard the end of some conversation the guys were having as we were walking between the con and the hotel at one point. The thing that hit my ear was Goshi saying "You know, the guy who was in HanaDan..." and then he paused for a few seconds and then, when he finally remembered, said "MATSUJUN!!" I don't know why, really, but hearing the word "Matsujun" coming from Goshi's mouth just cracked me up so much. And the conversation ended there so I don't even know if what he was saying was good or bad, but I totally don't care. XD;
#2 - He asked me what kind of Japanese TV shows I watch, and I said variety/comedy stuff and dramas. So he asked about my favorite drama(s), and I told him I liked Maou. His initial reaction was something like "Maou O_O? YOU LIKE MAOU :D??!" And then he told me that he's just started watching Maou himself. :DDDDD Seriously, this would have been #1, except he didn't give any actual impressions of it - just said he was starting to watch it. If he'd said he liked it too, I think I'd have died a happy woman. ;_;
#1 - We were talking about Japanese comedy, and I told him that I like Kirin. So what does he do? HE DOES A KAWASHIMA AKIRA IMPRESSION FOR ME. Yes, the hand over the (invisible) mic and deep voice saying "Kirin desu." KDSFJAGJAHSDK GOSHIIIIIIIIII. *dies for the millionth time*
ahem... So yeah... I will write a public report that will include many, if not all, of my other Life-Making Goshi Moments and post it here sometime in the near future, so don't think this is the end of my fangirling! |

So tomorrow I'm packing up and heading to Virginia for Suicide Ali's appearance at Nekocon. Crap, I can't believe it's already here. There was so much I wanted to get done before this day arrived... where does the time go? Or an even better question, why am I such a lazy idiot for insisting on allowing an hour or two each day to do nothing but watch DVDs/Youtube or play games when I could be getting things done? Oh, and even worse, those 6 or 7 hours I spend doing nothing but lying in bed every day. Honestly, I only sleep for about half of that time anyway, so why don't I just go to bed at 6am and get up when the cat comes and wakes me up around 9, and use the rest of those hours to get stuff done?
Yes, I'm bitter toward my insomnia. Anyway.
Nekocon. Suicide Ali. I'm... really nervous. On lots of levels. But we won't go into all that...
I love their new album though, and their new bassist seems really cool. I'm excited to meet him and see them perform again. I just hope I don't screw up everything I touch. Or run out of money. Also, I hope they're selling those awesome rings again this year... I wanted one last year but chose to go broke on their CDs instead. :\
...Why am I wasting time posting here? I've already lost about 2 hours today by taking a shower and getting a haircut! There's still THINGS to do! *cough* |

When I'm in a room full of people talking and laughing amongst themselves and having a good ol' time, if I so much as crack a smile, I get singled out and ridiculed because I'm too unlike them to understand why it's funny.
But if I sit there like a statue and keep a straight face, I get singled out for not having a sense of humor.

So it's a rainy, blah kind of day, and I look in the direction of my window. Now, as some will remember, I have a seemingly indestructible, chemical-resistant infestation of spiders living in my windows. And we all know that spiderwebs + moisture = really neat patterns, right?
So this is what I see...
Can you tell? One of those little buggers made a web that looks kinda like wings :o
How about a close-up?
Still can't tell? Well, because I'm a geek, how about a game of connect-the-raindrop-dots?
My spiders do really cool things sometimes. ♥ |

mood:  listless music: Ocean Girl theme in my head (is there an OST, I wonder...?)
|
So coming up in the near future is the (previously postponed) Father's Day dinner-and-game thing at our local frontier league baseball field. My family has been going there with my brother and nephew for the past few years, but I normally never go because 1) baseball games aren't my thing, 2) baseball games in the rain aren't my thing, and 3) baseball games in the rain for hours and hours when the team loses anyway really aren't my thing. Last year, though, I did end up going because they finally guilted me into it. Thankfully (and for once) it didn't rain... but anyway.
Yeah, that time of year has returned, and my mother has been asking me if I want to go because they have to pay the lady who's organizing it by tomorrow. I said, like last year, I'll go if my brother and nephew go, just because it seems to make the kid happy having us all together (plus, hey, a meal's a meal). And... my mother swears up and down that I have never gone to this thing with them. She can't remember for the life of her that I did go last year, I did eat dinner with them, I did spend the whole evening at the field with them.
Shows you what a memorable presence I am. Even to my own mother. :p
Also... I kind of watched all of the first 3 seasons of Ocean Girl in, like, 3 days. And now I can't find the 4th and final season, the only one I never saw on TV. I know it's out there but I can't see iiiiiiit. Which means *dun dun dun* withdrawal. =____= I should just order the DVDs and get it over with... but then I'd want the whole series for completion and I don't have that kind of cash on hand. Unless... *scuttles to eBay* [edit: Nope, I can't get any of the DVDs because they're all in PAL format. The curse of Australian shows. T__T Suppose they'd play on the computer, and then I could convert them, but that's a lot of money to blow on DVDs I can't even watch normally on my TV without a bunch of extra work...]
I really need to go back to being productive or something. Not that the coming week is going to be conducive to that... again... why does stuff keep coming up? *mutters at life* |

mood:  surprised music: Michael Jackson - PYT
|
It has been a really, really nostalgic few days. It started, predictably, last Thursday when MJ died. Spent about 4 straight days listening to his music and watching his videos, remembering my little private solo karaoke sessions held while listening to Thriller when I was, oh, 4-7 years old. (the word "tenderoni" still makes me snort. ahem.) Then this stupid stomach bug ate me alive, and in my downtime I've been digging around and finding all these old TV shows and stuff that I used to love but haven't seen hide nor hair of in years. Totally geeked out when I rediscovered old cartoons like Animaniacs and Rocko's Modern Life all over again... and to a lesser extent, Saved by the Bell. Shut up, we all had our stupid preteen guilty pleasures. ¬_¬ And then today, a little more digging revealed that THEY'VE ACTUALLY RELEASED OCEAN GIRL ON DVD. OMG GIMME NOW NOW NOW.
...Nobody even remembers that show besides me, right? >>; It was about as obscure as they get, I think. I loved it to death when it was still broadcasting though. And I remember hunting like crazy all over the internet for whatever vague information existed on it a few years ago, but finding practically nothing, and the only way to acquire it was to buy copies from someone in Canada who recorded them from TV or something. And now... DVDs. ghalkjsdksd I feel like a little kid right now. A little kid with a tummyache, but still a little kid.
Did I mention that I'm sick? And that I like to complain?
Anyway... Ocean Girl! Neri! CHARLEY! *squee*
[edit: Oh, WIN. I was just digging in a drawer and rediscovered that I have Thriller on Viewmaster slides. XD My childhood rocked. *plays with Viewmaster all night*] |

mood:  sick
|
And this is where we learn what it's like to be completely and truly alone...
...is what I would be saying now, except that I've already been alone for a long time. Used to it.
So instead I will complain about how sick I am. So very sick. =_= Can I just crawl into a hole and hibernate for about a week?
Well, that's my limit... time to go lie down again... |
