Ganked from virtually my entire flist~

( There's a lot of these, huh |D )

And the secondary meme that seems to have gotten tacked onto this one:

Has my portrayal of a character(s) changed the way you think of them?

Where? TAC 180 Feelings? chipper Theme? Nostalgia - Yanni Similar? memes, paixao, project daisychain, rp

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. |D

As 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

I figure I'll keep y'all in the loop in the five or so minutes I have before I crash out. XD

I don't have Wednesday off this week. It's weird, but I'll work with it (though it's in red section arrrrgh).

Saturday's double in purple made me go argh. It was less than productive, though it did net me some monies (though not enough for a double on a Saturday, really).

And one of the cooks asked me to hang out, which was...interesting. Not sure what I'm doing about that one yet.

I have fic that is poking around in my head. Oh, EBA, why have you taken over.

Paixao tags are going a loooooot faster than they used to. That's awesome in terms of the game, but giving me trouble in keeping up. Time to reevaluate, I think. |D

The Mythbusters marathon tonight was all sorts of awesome, though.

And I've discovered I love Wipeout. The show makes me lawl. XD Given that, I have a very important question for you all:



WHERE'S THE POLE?

Nothing in that show made me laugh harder than that chick, I swear. I think she made it all the way to the Wipeout Zone, too.

And speaking of crazy shows, MXC is on DVD. Do want. :D

I should get a paid account again. I miss my icons.

All that said, I would just like to say my Flist is absolutely awesome. :D And now it's bedtime.

Where? Home Feelings? complacent Similar? job, lawl, paixao, rp, tv, video, waitressing

"Attempt" is the operative word in that title, I believe. This is the post where I try to figure out current and future plans for alllll my RP characters. We'll see how this goes.

Paixao

Rosette: Has met with Leslie at the church - exploring there, I presume. After that...I have no idea. Who does she even have CR with anymore?

Sonic: Also exploring, with Knuckles. I figure he'll check in with Naja, then make sure Yorda's getting on okay, then...I have no idea. Go get into trouble, most likely.

Flonne: BIGGEST SHIP THREAD EVER. Afterwards...no idea. Probably attached at the hip with Laharl, whatever he decides to do.

Luxord: I haven't the foggiest. Org business, if any? Drinking with Urd? The fallback plan of hanging out at the Cheap Prayer and seeing what poor sod wanders in? Does anybody want a gambler? ;;;

DEATH: I think the thread with Shantotto died. Probably time for him to hit the church as well, especially since he's never seen it before. He might tag into the Prince's thread.

Vexen: Torturing Timon. Full stop.

Jafar: I think the thread with Tanaka is close to being finished, and the one with Genie has just started. After that...getting pranked? Does Maleficent have any plans for him, or is he just going about the city being a not-so-sneaky bastard?

Daisychain:

Rosette: About the only active thread she's in is the one with Megan, and her turn hasn't rolled around yet. I have no plans for her after that (though I do want a soul gaze with Harry...I don't know if I've even brought that up XD). Evidently she needs to do a pactio with Negi? Possibly one with Molly, because that would be all sorts of badass? IDK. Something.

Silver: ...it probably won't take the poor guy long to discover Blaze has disappeared. That won't be fun.

Flonne: She needs to tag into the party with Etna, which is going to be hysterical. Waiting on Dr. Horrible in that other thread... And then she needs to help Tony Stark with his suit/have a thread with Laharl/start the Sparkle Rangers/get manipulated by Etna and Eva/insert social butterfly activity here. She needs some attention.

J: Too active for his good and mine. Getting Spin buzzed (and potentially moving to Raiel's/Riza's/Kang's table - we ever decide on that?). Finding Starr and probably getting attacked by crabs. Setting Rookie and Missy up on a blind date. Trying to keep Rookie from getting himself killed via Hamel. The man needs to leave Rookie alone and get some CR with somebody else. Any takers? |D

...and that is all so far. Haha. |D

Alrighty, guys, I know a good deal of you were confused about my previous post talking about RP and characters. For those of you still interested, I wrote up the entire theory here, at my Wordpress. Take a look - comments work there or here, either way. :3

While we're at it, in light of recent events, I think it's about time I link this essay again. Just sayin'.

And finally, I'm reposting my link in the HMD meme since I had some fantastic code fail last time.

And that is all~

I covered a shift today at work when I wasn't scheduled. We got our asses kicked. On a Tuesday. Welcome to graduation season, I guess.

I've discovered I can't go a shift without getting an EBA song stuck in my head. Tonight, it was La La. Yes, as in "You make me wanna la la in the kitchen on the floor."

Which is a bad thing to be singing in a restaurant, by the way. Kitchen floors there are pretty disgusting.

I am just really lucky nobody opened the walk-in fridge while I was belting it out.

In other news, I miss my roommate because she is awesome.

( This is why. )

There are so few people with whom I can have that kind of conversation. XD

In RP news, this is the most fun I've had in quite a while. Spish, you are awesome.

And I really should sleep now. |D

Where? Home Feelings? amused Theme? So What - Pink Similar? cloverfield, eba, job, paixao, roommate, rp, waitressing

I keep telling myself I'll update this journal, and then it doesn't happen. Go me. XD

Yes, I am home safe. I've been here since Friday afternoon. I'm actually sleeping at night. It's a fantastic feeling, that.

So yeah. Finals rundown.

( Oh like y'all care about my academia XD )

But yeah, I made it out of those intact and somehow got home in one piece (and without the T-Virus Swine Flu, knock wood). I was told by one of my managers that I would likely be re-hired on Wednesday (after Cinco de Mayo, so there goes that plan), which would give me my old job at On the Border back. I also have an application for The Plate - they're this high class little place that's hiring cocktail waitresses. I could totally serve booze to people and smile. I'm thinking it might be a step up so far as tip-affected salary goes. There's also a new Red Lobster opening, so I'm applying there as well. We'll just have to see how everything works out. If all else fails, with any luck I'll still have OTB.

Paixao is rolling again (yay!) and DC decided finals week would be a great time to drop epic plot. I swear one or more of my characters is going to get killed or severely injured by the time all this is over. XD

But I know there's one reason y'all are reading this: I have dogs, and I've been promising you all pictures of them for forever. XD

( Puppy Pictures! :D )

So that's my life so far in convenient spam format. It shall be served with ham and eggs and possibly featured in a Monty Python sketch.

Where? Home~ Feelings? content Theme? Fidelity - Regina Spektor Similar? college, finals, greyhounds, job, paixao, project daisychain, rp

I'm fully expecting this to be all over the place, since I'm tired. |D

MAJOR CRAZY PLOT STUFF went down in DC and in Paixao tonight. I am quite pleased at the turnout for both. Jafar muse has come roaring back, Rosette is definitely being a leader in her own right, and I have never seen Silver so angry. He should be fun to play like that. Also, J makes me facepalm every time I tag for him. Not sure if that means I'm doing it right or what.

STUDY GROUPS. Study groups need to happen. memoryofpride, orelle_peredhil, when can we meet? Tomorrow after noon or Monday before 3 would work well for me (especially since my finals schedule is still in the gorram air, but that's a rant for another post) - how're things looking for you guys? Can either of you get ahold of Liz?

Went to Cheesecake Factory tonight with my roomie - fantastic experience, per usual. The new appetizer menu is awesome, and our server was awesome as the day is long (though roomie and I exchanged sidelong glances when she introduced herself as Rose - Doctor reference, whut). I think we scared the hell out of the manager, though - I asked for him to come by the table so I could tell him how awesome Rose was, and he walked up looking like we were about to rip his face off. I'll bet, since it was ridiculously busy, that he'd been chewed out more than once that night. I'll also bet he was relatively new at the position. The sigh of relief he breathed when we said Rose was awesome and our night was great was almost funny to watch. Poor guy probably doesn't get much of that. Either way, there is chocolate raspberry truffle cheesecake in our fridge and I am a happy camper about that.

My mom brought Mac and Finn - the new greyhounds - home yesterday. We might not keep Mac. That's another long story.

I need colored ink for my printer. The bookstore is closed tomorrow. This'll be interesting.

AND FINALLY. I'm three hours late but the thought still counts:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY travitaemorte!

Where? A 22 Feelings? groggy Similar? college, finals, friends, paixao, project daisychain, roommate, rp, yay

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

That was verrah important. :D

I know a lot of people do Year in Review posts, but to be honest I'm having trouble thinking back past this semester. It seems like I measure my time in weeks or days, which is why long-term planning and memoirs just throw me for a loop. I can try, though. Lessee:

Hit a year in Paixao (and a year in LJ RP overall).
Cloverfield came out and DC started up - it's almost a year old. I can't believe it.
Went to Gallifrey for the first time. Had a blast. Good times indeed.
I remember living in Towers and being told I couldn't put my bed under the window because of high school cheerleaders.
Rel 201 was awesome (and I need to email DeLong - don't let me forget). English 200 was tough if only because it was at eight in the morning. In all honesty, I don't remember what other classes I had and I'm too lazy to look them up. OH WAIT - Creative Writing, Grammar and Style, and Writing Center training. I am so the English major. So far as classes went, it was a pretty good semester.
Brawl came out the last day of Spring Break, and I wound up getting Jeff a copy so he wouldn't have to wait. I don't think he's ever called me so much, and I think I took a long time unpacking just to drive him crazy.
I learned how to use a microfilm machine.
I had a good deal of drama with my sorority, if only because I failed at participation and it came back to bite me in the ass. I've learned my lesson and I'm not doing it again.
THE RACISM DEBACLE.
I passed finals. Somehow.
Came home. Got a job at On the Border.
Summer of epic movies: Iron Man, Indiana Jones, The Dark Knight, Speed Racer, and of course Wall-E.
Weekly Doctor Who sessions with Spish and Jen all summer.
The Arizona branch of the family came to visit. Interesting at times but slightly arghghgh.
Broke $100 in tips - twice.
Went back to school for NSO.
Loved NSO. Fully intend to do again this fall.
Moved into apartments, reunited with roomie, met apartmentmates. Stocking an apartment is quite interesting.
Got massively into Sonic.
Swung into classes.
Got back into Sorority. Sisterhood chair is a blast.
Classes swung back. Got pwned.
Started drinking a lot of tea. Discovered that milk spoils incredibly quickly in Malibu. Not quite sure why.
Home for the Air Force/Navy game. Screamed my lungs out at the worst refs I've ever seen. Being in Mountain West sucks sometimes, as we get what we pay for.
Attempted to field and implement RP plot. Somehow survived.
Got into knock-down-drag-out with classes.
Asked out guy I'd been eyeing since London. Rejected. Guy later hooked up with RA. Found out through Facebook. Good amount of GRR ARGH to be had.
Introduced to Doctor Horrible.
Home for Thanksgiving.
Back for Finals. Called truce with classes. Earned a 3.6 GPA. Still need to send out my rhetoric paper to people who asked for it. Remind me to badger Goodman for feedback before I do so.
Home for Christmas.
Got back on the work schedule.
Unreal opened. Joined it. Convinced one and only character that TV was radioactive. Still amused.
Hung out with friends. Plan to do more of that before I head back.
Christmas.
Plotted in DC. Began partial overhaul of Paixao.
Spent New Year's Eve at a friend's house, watching Buffy and drinking fake champagne. Buffy gave way to conversation, which was much more interesting.
Came home. Hi, LJ.

...hell of a year, huh.

Happy New Year, guys. Happy 2009. May it be a safe and blessed one for you all.
