Your result for Roleplayer Test!...
The BiographerPlotful, 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.

Including my face, evidently. That was embarrassing. |D ...Let me back up. I was having an incredible shift at work today - good pace, nice tables, whole nine yards - until I cleared that empanada plate. Brought it back to the dish pit, went to clean it off, and dropped it. It broke in half, ricocheted off the edge of the dish pit, and sliced my hand open. My first reaction was to swear, run it under the faucet, and ask the hostess who just happened to be in the kitchen to please take chips to table twelve because I hadn't gotten there yet. At that point, I thought I'd still be at work. One report to the manager, several phone calls, two hours, and four stitches later, I'm home with an enforced break until Thursday night at the earliest and a left hand wrapped in Coban. |D The cut's on the outside of my hand, about an inch long, but it bled like mad. Empanada plates are dangerous things, it seems. Typing will be slow for a while and pictures will be provided to the not squeamish upon request. :D The blood on my face was spatter, by the way. Evidently I jerked my hand back when I got cut. ...so BEFORE the epic bloody mess that was my work shift today, I was thinking about RP - characters and my time constraints, mostly. I did have a huge long list of pros and cons and thoughts and dramatic inner monologue, but that was before typing became time consuming and painful. :D So. Basically, so far as Daisychain goes, I think I'm dropping Silver. I had his journal open for a good while last night and had a terrible time tagging with him, and it's been that way for a while. He's lost most of his CR, and I'm just having hell on wheels keeping him active. It's probably time to let him go. Stella, Guin, i'm sorry - he just didn't stick around for me. That said, I've been bitten by the app bug and seeing how long it takes me to work up either an Aja Killian muse or a Foxx muse. So far, Foxx is winning, if only because she doesn't require a trip to the library. On the Paixao front, I'm likely going to do a canon update for Rosette. It'll make her easier to play and give me a reason to jump start the character. Brainbreak always works so well for that. |DAs a final and random note, is anybody good at editing audio? Because I have a non-urgent favor to ask if you're willing. :3 Feelings?  Ow. >: Theme? Always Be My Baby - David Cook |

I have five minutes before I'm technically supposed to be in bed and I still have not finished my glass of zin. Probably not gonna happen. Work today was insane and I don't have the damndest clue as to why. It was absolutely dead during lunch and most of dinner, and then we got this pop from nowhere that lasted for a few hours. Given that yellow had already gone home, my partner and I wound up staying after red (the last cut section before closers go home) in order to do our sidework, yellow's sidework AGAIN (because we got tables in yellow section), and roll 100 silver apiece. Such is the woe of being in blue on a busy night. I SAW TWO FIREWORKS ON THE WAY HOME. TWO. WHOO YEAH FOURTH OF JULY. In other news, I've found out just why they're scheduling me so much. Evidently we rank servers based on an average of five criteria: PPA (how much we sell per person), GEM scores (how well we're scored on our online survey), Secret Shops (just what they sound like, probably getting phased out soon), Attitude (what it sounds like), and Reliability (what it- come on do I really need to say it). At the moment, I am tied for sixth place (technicall I'm in seventh because Amber Rose is before me alphabetically) out of thirty or forty servers. People with higher scores are obviously doing better and therefore get scheduled more. I AM TOO GOOD AT MY JOB, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. THIS IS WHY I NO LONGER HAVE FREE TIME. OR SLEEP. Most of my tables tonight were pretty good, though, and I walked away with about $70 in tips on $500 in sales, which is a better percentage than I've been making lately. Also, I have tomorrow off. My goal is to get work done on DC shirts. |D AND HERE'S THE BIGASS LIST OF STUFF TO DO BEFORE COMIC CON, BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I NEED ONE FOR SOME REASON. - Finish shirts - EBA routine (cut song, finish choreo, practice, quit changing the choreo dammit it's fine the way it is) - EBA costume (microphone, hat) - Bad Horse Singer costume (everything but the vest, oi) - Find out if any other Singers will be there. Possibly meet with them. - Flonne costume (leotard, earrings, find out how long shipping takes) - Schedule (find out what panels are there, figure out which ones to attend) - Sleep, because that sure as hell won't happen at the con 8D ...Yeah this has gone on far too long. My zin is gone. It's bedtime. ...I really miss my paid account. Icooooooons where did you go? Feelings?  tired Theme? Up on the Roof - The Drifters |

First of all, there's a new post in Typo Away: That's the Power of the Internet...and OxyClean. Guess what it's about. |D And I was tagged by tafkae, so I suppose I should do this (because y'all need new and awesome music anyway): List seven songs you are into right now, no matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your LiveJournal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.1. Jumpin' Jack Flash - Rolling Stones (EBA cover) - Are we really surprised this is my number one? Most played in my iTunes, too. Something about this just gets me going and I love it.2. Handlebars - Flobots - I'm not normally one for rap, but this one starts with an easy flow and has the most arresting musical development I've seen in a while. It's well worth a listen.3. I'm On a Boat - The Lonely Island - This song is normally way outside my musical taste. It's rap, loud, profane, and contains a few lines I still can't sing out loud. It's also a hell of an earworm and puts me in a great mood every time I hear it. This one gets played six or seven times a shift at work if Kenny is at expo, and the whole kitchen raps along. Great stuff.4. Dance Your Life Away - Jon McLaughlin - This song, like the title says, makes me want to stand up and dance every time (which is interesting when I listen to it while driving). Total carpe diem philosophy and I love it.5. Broken - Lucky Boys Confusion - All of these are earworms, I swear. I still don't know most of the words to this one - they go by too fast - but the tempo is awesome.6. BeeGees Medley - *NSYNC - Don't judge me; it's a capella and that makes it awesome. Plus. BeeGees. C'mon.7. Sweetness - Jimmy Eat World - This is a call and response that I'm fairly certain most of my generation knows and is incredibly catch to boot. Great to blast at high volumes while driving.Man I love my music. :D -ORITE GOTTA TAG PEOPLE. nalina, theguindo, universejuice, deltashade, ggmoonycrisco, lynxgriffin, and orelle_peredhil - tell me what you're hearing! My choices are to fic, set up something I should've done a while ago (haha ouch), RP, or just hang out and do nothing. Probably the third, second if I can figure things out. I need to give Emu her present. |D And I have the designs for the DC shirts - with any luck, the prototype (mine) should be made today and pictures up tonight. Footloose is proving to be an awesome movie with an incredible soundtrack, by the way. :D Feelings?  amused Theme? Footloose |

I had forgotten just how ridiculously awesome laser tag can be. I had forgotten how complex and intricate and fun Laser Quest's arena is. I had forgotten just how predatory and alive and utterly badass I feel with a gun in my hands and a target in my sights. Or in the mirror, because that's how Laser Quest rolls. Multiple floors and smoke and grates and mirrors all over the place. It's incredible. My roomie and I went laser tagging today, as you can likely tell, and I've discovered I've still got it (seventh in a game of eighteen, fourth in eleven). Considering I had to come up with my code name in five seconds or less because the door was closing, I'm particularly proud of it and the stats I garnered with it. Three guesses what it was - think fandom. XD So yes, that was particularly epic today. Ren Faire tomorrow and pictures to ensue, yay! ...on a fandom note, choreography is about half done and JJF still leaves me in awe every time I watch it. I may have to rip the audio from that, because the cheering overlay with the music is incredible. Feelings?  pleased |

So it's three in the morning and I just got back from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. I am so fried right now. My roomie is in from CA and went to see it with me. We...wow. ( The review, in list format )THE VERDICT: A, would likely see again. For all my complaints, most of the negative stuff was nitpicking, and I had my jaw on the ground for most of the movie. It was quite the ride, and I did enjoy it a good deal. I heard someone's got the soundtrack...would you be willing to share? :3 And roomie and I generated two awesome phrases today: "Way to be a team plater." "Quick! Back to the audiobots!" Oh, sleep deprivation, why so amusing. Feelings?  tired |

What the hell is in the water around here. I have no idea what happened or why, but a week ago just about everybody became a terrible tipper. We get a metric ton of verbal tips (high praise and ten percent of the tab) and a metric ton of people who are outright cheap. Fifteen and twenty percent tips are about unheard of. And it's not just me, either. It's the whole restaurant. I should talk with servers at other restaurants, see if it's the same there. I worked for six hours tonight and came home with $45. That's a bit more than 10% of my $427 in sales. It's been $60 tips off $650 sales, $40 tips off $497 sales...and I'm not doing anything differently. I'm still making money, yes, but the amount of money I'm making is not proportionate to the amount of ass I'm busting making sure these tables are fed and happy. Needless to say, it's frustrating. That, and I went in today on my day off because we were expecting a rush, and said rush never came...yeah. I work tomorrow and Tuesday too. And then on Wednesday amorsinseramada comes down and life gets awesome. :D In the meantime, I'm off to DC to go write some incredibly depressing stuff involving J. Why are all my muses so ridiculously headstrong, especially when they're in trouble...? |D Feelings?  frustrated |
