Woo... and now Juuni has reminded me of the the joys of online comics. Those guys plus Red Meat did a LOT to help me keep my sanity during my accountant days.
Devilish job. Devilish. >_<
Oh, but I have one word of warning.... don't ever read...
Unicorn Jelly
It will eat your brain. You have been warned.
Mou, thanks for the hug, Leareth! I can use all of those I can get, believe you me. ^^;; Not really been a great week, all told; things like finding out that my dad was in bed sick for five days with heavy antibiotics - and NOT finding this out right away because I'm on the opposite coast and nobody thought to tell me - did not guarantee the goodness of such. ^^; And I really hope your Christmas isn't ruined by all of this...
*laughs with Lilack* Okay, that WAS mildly amusing, given the timing of it all... oi. Poor Leareth... ^_^ And is your computer still infected? o_O
*giggling at Whitecat beecause for some reason, the word "w00t" strikes her funny*
*giggling* Just LOOK at the cross-eyed little thing!
*giggles* I should So. Freaking. Be. In bed. Why am I not? Because I found this.
Are they not the CUTEST CHIBIS? *beams* I'm SO tempted to adopt one... no clue where I'd put it, though. ^_^ Muah!
Woo.. I actually got an email from Raksha! Heh - that doesn't happen as often as I'd like. ~_^ And since I know you're reading this, Ra-chan... *hug* I really appreciate that. You're a very, very sweet friend.
If... mildly rabid at the moment. *coughs* Erm... here. Pink fluffy thing to tear up instead of anybody REAL. *sweatdrop*
*stares* Okay, at Manzai's house, and I don't have much time to talk, but... I HAD to show you guys this.
Somebody found my blog looking for A+Series+of+Unfortunate+Events+yaoi+fanfiction
Considering that the main male character in that series (which I own) is TWELVE YEARS OLD, I find the concept to be just a little bit twisted. Anybody else? o_O
There's where you go, dear - the Dragons of Earth await you. ~_^
Kay. Topic closed. /*tries yet AGAIN with the email...*
In other news, I have found more Edward Gorey art online. I'm very pleased; perhaps I should do a blog on THAT. ~_^
Oh, and btw - I am stressed.
....Just to be sure you heard me, streeeeessed. I ask you, there fore, to please forgive anything I say or have said that comes across in some kind of odd or offensive way. ^^; I hardly know what I'm saying any more these days. ~_^
...and my landlady's cat has gone mad. O_O more on that tommorrow.
*meeps at what Leareth and Lilack have to say about troops being sent out* And ya... you guys do have a reason to be worried. ^^;; Indonesia and Malaysia have reputations for having...ah... a somewhat volatile religious population at times; churches have been burned, people absolutely skwered over religious and political issues. Oi... *hugs you both and hopes for the best*
Oh hey, Juuni, that reminds me - a question I was going to ask you last night and forgot. ^_^ On your site, did you do the images? And if so, are you familiar with the work of Brett Helquist? He's done things like the "A Series of Unfortunate Events" books (which are just great - if you haven't read them, you ought to take a peek; they're by Lemony Snicket. ...no, I didn't make that up). The attitude and style strikes me as somewhat similar; that kind of really biting, sarcastic humor that if you don't quite get, then... well. You REALLY don't get what's going on. ^^
Ooooooh, you know what? I take that back. It's really like Edward Gorey's work - he's the one who did the opening for PBS's "Mystery" - and such delightfully morbid children's books as, "A is for Amy, who fell down the stairs."
Muaha. THAT one's quite fun. ^_^
*snorts dryly* You know, I'm beginning to think that emails aren't getting where they're supposed to...
Rather than assume stuff and blow up the club, it MIGHT be a tad more mature to say, "yo... what'd I miss?"
No da?
P. S. I'll try to see if I saved it in my sent folder. It's not too long; specific examples, etc. And if not, we CAN redo it. So there. :p Just if you have to wait a few days, do the patience thing. Lives are to be had, ya know. ^_^;
...well. At least in theory. >_<
.....*stares at Vega's report*
Oh, my GODS. What kind of FREAK...you know something? Reporting that guy wouldn't be such a bad idea... uuuuuugh...
Well, think of it this way...when you get out of the class, you can make t-shirts saying you survived! *weak smile*
...okay, I tried. I suck at humor, no da? ^^;;
Seriously though, dear... stick it out. You'll be a stronger woman for it; after all, in the real world you are GOING to run into other people like that. Bosses, stage managers, co workers... and being able to take it and just look him in the eye and KNOW who you are, as yourself, STRONG... is a very, very valuable thing.
Don't let an asshole like THAT cloud your judgment about yourself. *hugs* Okay? ^_^;
*chuckles* ...although I AM flattered you drew a piccie of me. ^_^ I'll have to see it. ~_^ Feh... wish I could draw images of my friends...
Oi, Vega-chan, you have NO idea how not alone you are. ^^;; You know that advice about getting the scholarship folks to put you on probation for a semester? Guess how I knew to do that?
I think it's a matter of being JUST intelligent enough that too many things come easy; after that, you find yourself at a loss when, suddenly, you have to WORK at something. *chuckles* My study habits and such now are totally different from what they were when I was a freshman; I had to make that adjustment.
Dear, you can SO handle this. Okay? ^^;
Oi, isn't the internet a great place? You can't really express your TONE to anybody. -_-;;
Erm, that is to say, nothing that I've blogged here in the last few days is supposed to come across as contentious, preachy, or ego-inflated - mostly, it's me blabbering happily because I'm tired. ^^; And now that THAT's out of the way...
Eeeeeeee..... I just found out that Isa had a car accident!!! ACK!! Okay - she's okay. But....eee.... @_________@ email her, wouldya? Meeep...
*shaky cough* And speaking of cars, you are definitely lucky to be alive. Gug - remind me never to hitch rides with high school boys. >_<
No offense to any boys out there, of course. ~_^
Ooh, and you know... I'm jealous of all you guys - I wonder if you all know how awesome it is to regularly be with people who appreciate you and your interests. ^_^ It really must be wonderful...
And Manzai wonders why I glomp her on the weekends. ~_^
I hope you're not mad at me, Liz - I wasn't trying to hint at anything or...erm... say anything unpleasant. ^^;; And it's a shame you don't get reviews... I STILL wish you would have been able to go for this. Feedback has absolutely NOTHING to do with talent (have you noticed that most of the "popular" writers... um... suck?).
Speaking of this, you still haven't given me an explanation why you turned down your acceptance. o_O At least give me a reason, please. If it's something we need to correct, well... we CAN'T unless you point it out - no da? ^^;;
Meep... Vega-chan? Honey, hang in there! I KNOW it seems awful, but you need these required courses - and you NEED YOUR DEGREE. Thousands and thousands of very talented actors and actresses attempted the "just grab an agent and go" routine... just talent really isn't enough. You need your degree. ESPECIALLY since you cannot count on making enough money to LIVE acting; your degree will GUARANTEE you higher wages in jobwork, just because you have it. And nobody, once you get out, will care what your grades were; you merely need enough to keep your scholarships, etc..
And if it's a question of "suffering social life" vs. "grades..." dear, that shouldn't be a question. >_< Social life you can get any time... grades are NOW. Stay inside and study - more importantly, go find your profs and ask if there's something you can DO to make up the grades. Most of the time they can tell you, or let you know just WHERE you went wrong studying, or point you to somewhere where you can get extra help. GO AFTER THE HELP, girl! You'll be okay!! *hugs*
In fact, sometimes they (as in, comittees) are willing to give you extra time and/or put you on probation for a semester to give you a change to get your grades up - and given your past performance, there'll be no question that you deserve it.
BTW - consider dropping some classes. That could help.
... *laughs* Ya know what? This is turning into the rant-blog. Hm. *eyes it* Not sure if that's a good idea. ~_^
Woo, I'm going to bed at a decent hour. ^_^ No, really - I am! What are YOU looking at?! :P
And oooh, Leareth... that dance thing really sounds marvelous. I got to see Carmen at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. Saaaaa... *wriggles* Every musicians dream...
Or mine, anyway. ~_^
Saaa, Liz, don't be too harsh on her. I know how it is to suddenly have reams of feedback, unexpected and very welcome - and then out of the blue to have it all just... taper off. My fic Dominion: Reprise (a DBZ fic - my FIRST DBZ fic) became extraordinarily popular - I still have NO idea why. All of a sudden, I was getting unsolicited feedback - GOOD feedback - just because I was posting these chapters, and it was an absolutely great feeling. In fact, I met Isa, Takira, Manzai, Crono, Juunigou, April, Kunika, and Vega all through that fic, because they wrote me or commented or did some other such really nice thing.
And then Dominion: Reprise was over... and the feedback stopped.
Now, I don't mean I don't GET feedback; but I have to chase it down. It's just sort of understood now; I have two or three people whom I bug by showing them stuff I've written and begging them for criticism all the time. However, unsolicited stuff has ceased to be forthcoming.
*chuckles weakly* I'm not saying this is EXACTLY what she is going through, but it's easy to - when getting feedback - not exactly REALIZE that most people don't simply get feedback like that. It's not quite spoiling; it's more like having an incorrect reality presented to you. ~_^
Erm... hope all that made sense. ^^;;
I. Have not. Been able. To sleep. All night.
Why? I'm not sure, entirely; I'll be in bed, drifting off - and then bam, awake again for no apparent reason. I suspect Dr. Atkins would suggest carbohydrate poisoning, ne, Manzai?
Actually, you should give me an idea of what you're eating - make it easier for me, because I can copy and don't have to be creative. *cackles* *but not too loudly* *it IS not quite six am*
Okay. I'm going to try to get a couple of hours of sleep. *glares bleary-eyed at computer* Whatever's been waking me up had better STOP... or I'll... do something.
*coughs* *slinks away from that pathetic threat with shame*
*cackles* Okay - some massive blogging here. ^_^ Pardon me if this takes a while to read...
Oh, and before I start this... you should know that all my site/image problems of the last month or so, as it turns out, have been entirely my own fault. *chuckles weakly* I had my domain pointed incorrectly - just got hold of somebody who walked me through getting it right.
What does this mean? Basically, it means that my site has "reverted" to before I messed with my settings (when I say this was my own stupid fault, I MEAN it was my own stupid fault). Hence, some of the images here work because they were uploaded before the change... and some don't. Don't be upset if you find lost files, or something. It'll right itself soon enough. ^_^ Anyway, on we go...
*coughs* Ignore above statement. It is the result of lots of cherry coke and too many matzohs. *waits for Manzai to hit her for being bad*
....and is there any more Nukeme Dori coming? *hopeful smile*
Oh, and you have pictures again! Where are they being hosted?
*snickers at the weirdness of manga-made-real* Did you tell your parents what that soap was? Heh... the last time I pointed out something that had been taken from anime (The Lion King), I don't think my folks entirely believed me. Ah, the overwhelming brain-washing power of Disney....
Although I have to say I'm very miffed because it seems the ending is one of those that drives all happy people of the world into black insanity. Must find more info, of course... but "no happy ending" makes me quite displeased. ;_;
Oh, and btw, Manzai - are you aware that your images are no longer working? o_O
Oh, and I'm jealous, Vega, did I mention that? Your uni has a SWIMMING POOL! *sniffles disconsolately* We used to - but they ended up filling it in and building the library over it. o_O Don't ask me, I didn't make that decision...
Erm... I DO have a couple of qualms about the Harry Potter Couple Selector. I mean, really... it's like one of the rules in that yaoi writer's guide that Leareth had up a few days ago. Come on, guys... just because people are friends does NOT MEAN THEY HAVE SEX. Oi - if there's one thing, just from a purely artistic point of view, that bothers the hell out of me with yaoi, that's it. Morality aside, yadda yadda... taking people who are are CLEARLY set forth as heterosexual and pairing them with thei same gender is bad enough; assuming that everyone who expresses any kind of emotional concner for anyone else MUST be interested sexually is just ridiculous.
Honestly. How many of YOU automatically have sex with people just because they're good friends?
*shakes head* Sorry. I go for this little thing called "realism" and "in character" plotlines in my fics... call me crazy. ^^;;
(*coughs* no offense meant to anyone's fics-for-fun here... just.... GEEZ).
Off to bed now.
Yes, Vega - I DID drop off the face of the earth. But you should see the souvenirs!
*coughs* I'm over tired. Excuse me. ^_^ In fact, I should be in bed. In fact, I WANTED to go to bed - why didn't I? Because I'm a twit and got involved in a project that "would only be a few minutes...." *chuckles weakly* You'd think I'd learn. ^^;;
At any rate, I emphasize that I AM alive, I WILL reply to everybody, and I'm planning on writing a Petshop of Horrors fic. Oh, that's right, I forgot to mention that, didn't I? *cackles*
Blame Manzai She got me thinking about it. ^_^
Anyway, I'm heading to bed now. Oh, and before I forget, check out the wee clocky thingy over there above and to the left. When you click on the link, it gives you the time where *I* am, as opposed to where YOU are (the latter of which is normal for web-based clocks - I was very proud of myself for finding out how to make this thing give a time differing from from what your own computer tells it).
Enough, says I! I go to bed. ^_^
alive...survived exams. ^^;; I'll never look at Beethoven or the Magic Flute the same way again. *wibbles*
And thanks to everybody who had been posting in response to my previous blogging... I should have more time now (midterms being as all-encompassing as they are), and I'll finally be able to respond. ^_^ Doomo!
Yes. I live. More later, when I DON'T have four exams in a row to deal with. >_<

Hey
- wanna see the time where *I* am? Click here.

++stats++
Note one: I hate talking about myself, so this is probably going to sound silly. ^_^
My name is Ruthanne, and I'm a 25 year old college student who happens to be very pleased because this year I can actually afford to attend full time. ^_^ I am presently enjoying (????) my senior year and will be graduating with a Bachelor of Music (in piano performance) and a Bachelor of Science (in Bible) in May of 2002.
Yes folks, that's a double major.
As a result, I have no life.
For proof of this, here are my sites, on which I spend whatever random free time I can get:
>>Trinsan.com
- main - humor, music downloads, random links, etc.
>>Incongruous
- writing, both original and fanfiction
>>GFWR
- The (Good) Fanfiction Webring
>>Bob,
AKA the Trinlist - mailing list for fanfic announcements and
random discussion
>>The
Archives - past blog layouts/entries/etc. - as if you cared,
ne? ~_^
I am presently fortunate enough to have a job I love (webmaster for a non-profit organization), and a family who supports me; I also have what might be called a killer network of friends. *waves at everybody*
My interests are narrow but ecclectic:
Manga/
anime (DBZ, CLAMP stuffs, Gundam Wing, Shoujo Kakumei Utena, Slayers,
etc.)
Writing (both music and fic - in fact, there's a novel in the
works, but shh, don't tell)
Internet stuffs (some have argued that this is WHY I have no
life, double major aside)
Religion (philosophy, apologetics, Christianity - hey, it's
all good ^^)
If you want to know anything else, feel free to contact me; I'm ridiculously busy, but I really do love to hear from folks. My email is sheesh@iamnotboring.com (although you CAN use the handy-dandy email form), and my ICQ# is 26677999. If you want the AIM handle, you gotta ask - I'm mildly paranoid due to weird people. @_@
And now, if you were strange enough to read this far, you get the treat of seeing things I belong to. ~_^
