A PLAN!

I have one.

For writing Jindal's story, ne? 'Cause I haven't been able to concentrate, not knowing what order the stories should go in... It was making me reluctant to start anything. (Leftover stress from raw, still.) But one of the big things about Jindal's story (other than IT FREAKING NEEDS A TITLE) is that it's not going to be in chronological order. I've been thinking that it'll start with a story just narrated by Jindal without mentioning who he is, something poignant in and of itself that'll get the readers interested (...nantoka); then, Jindal introduces himself and explains what they're all doing there. From that point, for the most part, it alternates between stories that Jindal watches after his death and stories that he participated in, that he was alive for. Yeah.

BUT yesterday, in the shower, I realized--I should just write them all in chronological order!
So that's gonna help. <3

11:00 AM So right now I'm in Geo. If you (O person) commonly look at my profile page, you'll notice that I've added ANOTHER blog to my repertoire--a "Block Two" Geo blog. I suspect this will be distracting. In fact I know it will be distracting. That's why I'm writing this right now. >__>
Why am I adding to this entry rather than making a new one, you ask? Well, I plan to watch the new DN episode this afternoon if I have a chance, so I'll be making a new entry for that, anyway. Three entries a day (in this blog) would be excessive.
If she spots me, though, I bet I'll get in trouble. >____> coughcough.
I'm sick of my template again, too, so I think I'll try to change that somehow... later...

1.26.2008

I drove today...

In fact I neglected to mention that I got my permit, didn't I?
I got my permit.
And today I drove.
I went into a snowbank, slightly.

Also, our team won second place at Knowledge Bowl today~ Yup yup. I answered several questions... tedious brief, and... others... which I forget...

I kind of fail at blogging, to tell the truth...

1.22.2008

Superblanket aside, I'm COLD!

I don't think I've mentioned superblanket yet. It's a blanket that kind of makes a robe... er... It's hard to explain. But it is incredible. And if I set it aside, I really WILL be cold. >.> <.<

Anyway. First day of the new semester. My classes: Calculus, College Geography, Creative Writing (kyaaaaaaah! <3) and band. I can't wait to start writing in CW.

Siiigh... SYL and AL have such lovely, organized, thoughtful blogs, and mine are just like... BLAAAAAAAAAAAARGH mindvomit.
Yep.
And I'm consistently too lazy to do ANYTHING about that, so here we are.

1.21.2008

So... I've decided to babble about the Hidden Temple of Din.

Because I don't know how to describe buildings.

So... it's a temple. (No way! But is it hidden? But is it, Ariel, a temple to Din?) (Random Tempest reference, what?) And it's pretty and smooth and not at all crumbly--like the Temple of Time. (So pretty~ in there.) All over there are "great torches"... hmm, I wonder if he can get a lantern somewhere... no, I have a better idea. There are great torches in the Cavern, too, which he must light with his flamethrower/whatever I named it. Oh, I haven't yet.
Anyway. Back on topic. (Sherlock Holmes.) (You need to stop that.) It's in the Goron lands, so maybe it's built into Death Mountain? kkk, yeah. Okay. And then, the boss room should be in lava, and that's why you have to shoot it with arrows, WOOHOO! Okay.
So what can we do with no exciting items? We can run around hitting things with our sword. But... Is it largely an open-air temple? Then how is it divided into rooms? What if some of the pillars have collapsed, making certain areas impassable... Hmm... could work? Wait, but it's supposed to be all pretty! >3< There will of course be Bulbins. Because of the arrows, you know. And Fire Keese... no Fire Slugs, those are just annoying. Fire Gators? Maybe one or two, in the latter half. (Post-miniboss.)
Right, rooms rooms rooms. Dou shiyou~... So there are rooms in Greek temples... So what about this surrounding thing, the colonnade, what if that's the "main room" sort of like in Lakebed? And parts can gradually be unlocked to allow you to enter different parts of the temple...
Pronaos
Naos/cella: In the center. Houses the "cult statue." So, it'll be a statue of Din... Maybe-maybe that's the boss room? And then... No. That'll be the miniboss room. And then the Opisthodomos will contain the boss; the boss key will move the cult statue aside to reveal a door.
Colonnade: Prostyle, only in the front. &Psuedo dipteral: Only one layer of columns, but a decent space away from the walls. (I'm throwing these terms around and it sounds like I know what I'm talking about. I so do not. I am eating this site and regurgitating.)
Oh, what about the whatsit, though, the golden ratio. That should be observed. (You know. When the game is made.)
WTH, why am I designing a freaking dungeon? T_T Help me, I think I'm finally insane.

So how do we think? Enter; the Eldest Elder stays behind. Oh, I've got it! Impassable (is that even a word?) great torches between each column. Goody, it is a word. Anyway: Enter. Fight monsters to get through to the Pronaos. ...I'll figure the rest out on paper.

It's that time again.

Today I'm doing something interesting. I'm going to try to watch this new episode, comment on the episode, and design a Priestess of Din for BRS, all at the same time.

Let's begin.
Ooh, this is going to have the meetscene.
...Forget? She didn't forget, or at least she didn't say so in such a straightforward manner.
Shin-e-gah-me? CAN WE AT LEAST STANDARDIZE THE SLAUGHTER? (That "gah" is like "Gah! Rem's voice makes me cry!")
Eh? Never read that sentence. >_> Dattara namae ga, mieru no?
"If" by notebooks he's referring to our Death Notes... Pssh, no, I think she's talking about the supah-cute notebook her friend gave her. :talk2hand:
Oh dear lord. That was L's voice. T__T
(I found a pose to use, copied it. SHE LOOKS LIKE HER LEGS WERE PUT ON BACKWARDS.)
Sigh. So much sexism and assumption. :(
:/ I wonder if the dates are messed up.
"Y'know"? Okay, it's better that it's Matsuda; I thought it was Light and I was just like no. :C
Dang, I forgot he's reason-zaki. >___>
SAYU'S VOICE IS PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN. *sob*
Oh my. I don't think... this is horrible to say but if she continues to be like that I think I shall be totally unsympathetic when eight rolls around. >____> (If she continues to be like that, though, we'll have other problems. :| )
oO? Then when you talked to Shidou...? (O Shidou of the inconsistent name. For that only I forgive Viz. FOR HALLE I DO NOT.) (No way, maybe that's why you said "only"?)
Against the rules but there are no laws against it. You make so much sense, Ryuk.
Like Sakeko's art thread~
Gooooood, Takada's not among them. (If she was, you'd have been treated to a spazfest. As it is I think she's in next week's... fudgeduck. FDFD, I may be spazzing about more than that... FD)
lololol @ synchronized minibows.
Alert! Right?
Moon Yagami. Right. IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE LITERAL THEN CALL HIM FREAKING MOON NIGHTGOD.
FWAH. Is Matsu on screen?? He's not. :C I'm never going to find out how to interpret those things. THEY'RE NOT HOURS THOUGH. >:C
Ooooh, that was Alert all right.
"Huh." Was that a question or a random grunt, O voice actress of Rem?
That was just a horrible voice right there.
WOW. I definitely just heard "gave an address" as "came in a dress."
You know, if Takada's voice is more suitable than Misa's I'm going to be ticked off; however, it would be REALLY hard for it to be less suitable.
No, Light, in Shibuya. On the 24th.
Nor that Kira's on the taskforce...
Only YOU can prevent forest fires more murders.
THAT WAS A REALLY CRAPPILY HANDLED TRANSITION.
It's the amazing color-changing eyes! Sometimes they're red, sometimes they're brown, in the dark they're blue, WHOO-HOO! Otherwise, they made her be wearing brown contacts for schoolgirl!Misa... Which is a lie. I have plenty of evidence that her eyes are brown, 4's cover (where they ARE blue) aside.
Unnecessary cleavage shot! >___> (If you can call it that on Misa...) (Seriously, though, it's in the freaking middle of the screen. That is so unnecessary.)
*laughs at cheesy touch effect*
So we get an unnecessary cleavage shot, but no "Is that oniichan's girfriend? I can see her panties! D:"? Lame!
Okay, these blue eyes are seriously irritating me, though. I mean, unless she put in contacts to look pretty for him... They'd better be brown later, or I'M TELLING! (Dare ni?)
Ageha series! .-. No I think not.
Why is Misa more prone to flap issues than anyone else?
I desire to know how she got those gloves to stay up there. >_> Is it stretchy lace?
"Why are you so suspicious of me? Is it because I inhaled some helium before coming here, is that it?"
Sigh. And I'm supposed to be enjoying this...
Hey hey hey. What about " I never even thought of using it that way"?
I AM GOING TO HARM SOMEONE. THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A CROSS, NOT A FREAKING FLEUR-DE-LIS OR WHATEVER THAT IS. (With no earrings visible. I've wondered this before, but I think Obata-sama doesn't like drawing ears.)
"Okay, so we're good now. Now shoo!"
You cannot possibly be serious. You're just going to IGNORE the fact that she killed minor criminals and innocents?
Um. That 3xgasp was totally unnecessary.
I so hate that smirk.

1.17.2008

Death Note, again.

Oh, this is going to be fun. See how they describe the episode: "To his surprise, this new Kira has an ability that even Light lacks..." HE FIGURED THAT OUT ALREADY.
Nightmare's a great band.
Bleeding ears~
OMG! Jealous is going to be in this episoooode! <3333 But but... the voice won't be Ken'ichi. T____T That makes me so sad. They should leave just that part in Japanese. (...To iu yori, zenbu. XD)
It'll just mean that he's not as smart as he could be.
His expression was better in the manga there--mouth slightly open.
Squee time. -squee-
OOC! <__<
CHIEF YAGAMI, YOUR VOICE STINKS.
Why is Matsuda the only one who ever has a hard time calling L Ryuzaki? (...Not that I can talk. I NEVER call him Ryuzaki... ...'cept in "Last.")
Straight-faced lie. XD
;___; "If we don't omit this part" &etc was so much better in the manga. ;;
They're playing that horribly named song right now. (No... not horribly. That was a lie. But terribly. Distressingly. That's it, distressingly.)
Karui jooku! Karui jooku dattebayo believe it. ;; Improvising nante iwanakattaaaaaaaaaaa.
I thought he said "Of VIZ network." I'm like "holy crepe o_o ;;"
Nowai? NPA granted permission? Now WHY would they do that?
Y'know, I'd begun to think that maybe I had overreacted to Misa's English voice. ......Nope!
Ohh riiiight, I should listen to what Kira's saying. Rather than just focusing all of my attention on Misa's home decor.
"Uh, hello? Do you really need to ask?" Just... just cut my ears off now, okay?
Misa? Sense? Misa has no sense.
O______O;;;;;;;;
FivefourthreetwooneSTRESS >___> Yes I think I will not be watching 25. Unfortunately, that was a lie. I'll watch it but I'll be in a horrible mood all day.
And Ryuk's just like, "I'll be right here, making no noise and pretending I don't exist."
-NOISE OF INDIGNATION- I HATE YOU! SHE WAS WEARING A LOLI OUTFIT, AND THAT'S THE ONE YOU DON'T SHOW FULLBODY?!!! DIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!
Modeling takes a lot of energy. Gwah. Nandakke sa, l2/14/11?
Are you saying Ryuk is smarter than you are? :/ I always forget if that's actually the case... No, Rem's smarter.
"A lot to do with the fact that"? I so hate flaps. Wow, they had to do a lot on that line though... Not their fault not their fault... and I can't watch the subs for free (at least not legally), so...
Misa. Your voice makes ooze gooze and flesh crawl, sweetie, and that's not a compliment outside of Halloweentown.
It makes me so sad that this isn't going to be Ken'ichi's voice. ;__;
XD She looks like she's about to take notes. XDD And she was supposed to be holding her Note before that...
Sou iu to I wonder why she wasn't slightly creeped out by that. XDD Especially considering her experience with stalkers.
...??! WTH@brown hair. No seriously wth. >___>
Awww, Jealous. But I bet now your voice is going to be awful. ...Do I even know what Ken'ichi's voice sounds like?
Yes, correct. And what do you mean "It's just not fair"? That so is not in the manga. And yeah, this is NOT how I imagined Jealous's voice, at all. ;____;
"Probably an accident or something"...? I'm actually growing used to Rem's voice though.
Wait, I take that back. Vehemently I take that back.
Jera-chan writes right to left? o_O; That's... an odd thought...
o___O; You're supposed to make him walk off, stupid. Geez, do you want to give HER a heart attack too?
Dakara instantly ja nai to itteru yo?
Fate? I think it has nothing to do with fate. It just has to do with not making people's lifespans longer.
NO FLAPS IN SIGHT, SO DON'T EXTEND THE LINE!
He didn't know he was going to die...
...Wow, that ONLY works with "Sou ka~". "I see" means the exact same thing, and sounds... awful. xD;
Yes? T_T
Wow, though, they're making the lines so... gah.
For some reason I just imagined a Midna giggle. <__<
...WHUT? You are NOT going to make that how she finds him. Nuh-uh. No.
Dude, is she THAT unobservant? Ah, but no wonder I didn't recognize the little scene thing. They made that crap up ENTIRELY.
That one... we decided before that it was from three (nineteen), just turned, right? Yeah... not from the hundreds.

1.13.2008

NEVER AGAIN WILL I WATCH IN ENGLISH SOMETHING THAT WAS DUBBED THAT LONG AGO.

I FREAKING SWEAR.


THEY SEEMED TO SUFFER FROM WHAT WE CALL "PRESSURE OF SPEECH."


And English-Sheeta and baKOOra should get married and have faux-British babies, and everyone will cover their ears and scream.


*fumes*

R.S., if you're reading this, I actually enjoyed Castle in the Sky a lot. It's just that we watched it as a family tonight, and they wanted to see it in English rather than subtitled. AND THE DUB LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIES! AND IT STICKS TALKING WHERE NO TALKING SHOULD BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! AND THE VOICES PAIN MY EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEARS!


I watched most of it in Japanese yesterday night and it was lovely.

But I am never watching something dubbed that long ago ever again. They had NO standards.



Oh, right, before all of that (I had a long afternoon, to tell the truth... really long...), I was thinking of babble-praising this new manga I got today. It's soooo cute! It's called V.B. Rose--Velvet Blue Rose, I think, though I'm not entirely sure about that... It's a shooooooooooooooujo~ It's so pretty and thorougly saccharine, but so cute~ Motto yomitai ima kara. xD <3

1.09.2008

My stress level just PLUMMETTED.

God: WHY are You wasting Your time with me? me. me. lower-case me, who has yet to show any sign of being useful to You?
do You want something of me? how can i be useful to You? i don't understand.
You pushed me to the edge, and brought the idea to my mind once, twice. when i showed that annoying tendency i have to hang back, You pushed me one step farther so that i would say it.
thank You, God, and onward to whatever You have in store for little me.

1.07.2008

The good news is, I've been keeping my writing resolution.

The bad news is, I can't show you any of my work on BRS because the formatting pains me. That's not to say that I'm having trouble formatting--oh, no. But the formatting is such an integral part that I refuse to post it somewhere that would kill the formatting. I'll try to see what I can do with it...

1.05.2008

Why hello.

Yesterday, again, I was writing. Scripting some of BRS, in fact. The formatting is confusing... and once it stops being confusing, it's freaking obnoxious. :C

Anyway, I'm here this morning because the new DN episode is up, &away we go.

"And Sakura is not airing this tape for the purposes of sensationalism." Oh, no, something much nobler than that. Ratings!
...WTH@Deme's voice.
..."Another" fake? What was the first? What?
Should I have three with me? Sure.
...? Was that... self-preservation? xD;;;;;
Disagreement with Ukita's voice. :C (For all that matters....)
Lulz, left-side steering wheel. [/lame]
"And safe inside our cars", no doubt. :/ Well, it's wise, I suppose. (If you're going to brandish that line so determinedly, allow it to be applied to other people, too.)
...Disagreement with Aizawa's voice, and that DOES matter. :C
Kono episode nanban dakke.
Why "my"? It's Aizawa's life that's in question here, anyway... what, is "one" too stuffy? :/
Shiiiiiinyyyy Ferris wheel...
NO! DON'T LEAVE HIM ALONE, SACHIKO! ...too late. [OMG! So yesterday we were reading in Hamlet and I was Polonius and I was BABBLING LIKE MAD and I said "Since brevity is the soul of wit" and I knew what was coming and sure enough RG said, "Too late." XD;;; Clue ftw, now back on topic]
If you've ever read Sherlock Holmes... No, just kidding.
Mr. Stupid Security Guard Person, you're lucky to be alive.
6:41? I am ever suspicious of numbers like 6:40.
"If we stop this broadcast, he'll kill all of us!" Yay! No more Demegawa! No reentry of Takada at a crucial point in time! Whoohooooo! ...Wait, you mean it's not going to happen? ;;
((e.g. cosmetics, blood, etc.)) Or blood or blood or blood. >:/
And still safe inside our cars!
Matsuuu, did you forget about Ide that quickly? I mean, sure, he's a waste of panel space in arc-the-second, but that doesn't mean you should forget he exists.
:o Weren't they safe in their cars?
Gah. D: That voice + that face... that's not how it's supposed to sooooound. T____T
I saw a post that broke my heart this morning. "The scene kids with their Death Note fandom." That is just so depressing.
LOL. Best use of L's Theme yet. With the switching of phones. :rofl: :heart:
L's theme fills me with joy~ L's theme B fills me with wariness&confusion&some joy~
Actually, the B one fills me with "wth why did they call it THAT of all things," but that isn't a very good emotion word. (No kidding!) But I mean!!! Seriously! Look at that!
Having to sit around and watch this makes me antsy.
Ide~ the eyebrowless man~ His hair is not long enough~ To make this forgivable~
...Not that Misa would figure THAT out.
:C Dislike tone of voice.
"If"? L my love, I don't think there was any "if" invovled with you.
She-knee-GA-mi. :C
Y'know, these little bursts of talkingness sound a lot stupider when they're actually audio. They didn't seem stupid in the manga, but...
Reaction one: lol, what the heck@Kira bandwagon. xD; *check* Reaction two: Fwaah? Hey, that's supposed to correspond to "I'm not sure if he'll believe I'm L." I can't believe they took that out! That was funny! Darn anime. >:C
-fangirls slightly-
"*gasp* Double digits?! He's never used double-digit percentages before!"
His fork is sticking out of the cake. XD
Comment on Ryuga Hideki has been aborted for a squeeful one about the fact that she's in Harajuku, squeeeee! And look, those things are on sale! Can I buy 'em can I buy 'em huh huh? Puh-leeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?
I... dislike Rem's voice. :C It's better than the guyish one from the movie (that was awful), but it's not scratchy enough. It also sounds rather... computer-generated, the patterns of emphasis and everything... remind me of that American Girls game. (Rem, just say "Foreman Flacutono means it cost a lot of money," for me, kk?) Also, I swear the "th" on "Death Note" was more of an "s"... what?
...MISA'S VOICE SOUNDS FULL OF STUPID. But I mean not in the way that she should sound full of stupid. (Don't say that about someone who has a Note! O__O) But it sounds... typical American-voice-actor-ish. (What? Is that even a valid assessment?!)
Faceness? Now that's not canon. But ugh! She sounds like... ugh! American and ugh!

Since I already babbled about one Hamlet thing in here, I'll add this: Yesterday we were watching the Mel Gibson movie of Hamlet in English, and when it got to Ophelia, I kind of suspected that I knew who it was, but I wasn't entirely sure... you see, I was thinking that it was the lady who plays Bellatrix, but I was so confused! Her hair... it was... under control! XD;;; But it was her, even though her hair was normal-looking. Though some of it came out of the braids, and she became easier to recognize... (This sounds mean. I really do think she's pretty, and a very good actress. But her hair baffles me. And her Bellatrix terrifies me, actually...)

1.03.2008

I suppose it's just about time for me to post...

I failed to post yesterday because I was keeping my New Year's resolution! I was writing! It was a Wammy's House fanfic! Whoo-hoo! 'Member that Pandore chick? The one who supported Kira? I've been reworking her story.

So since nothing really interesting happened today, I'll type up what I have of that.
-
The students of the Wammy's House were halfway through their lunch when a shout shattered the easy atmosphere of the cafeteria.
"What are you saying?!"
The source of the cry was Jazz. It was clear that she had leapt out of her seat moments before. her short-cropped hair stood out around her aviator's goggles as if electrified. She was furious.
Pandore, the apparent object of Jazz's anger, was still seated. Her face was splotched with red as she fiddled with her curled hair and glanced around the cafeteria. "There was no need to draw everyone's attention," she stated, carefully not meeting Jazz's eyes.
"Why not?" Jazz retorted, ice in her voice. "You're betraying them, too."
What had been curiosity on the other children's part now turned to wariness. There was no room for betrayal at Wammy's House.
"I'm not betraying anyone," Pandore defended herself, her voice raised to address everyone. Then, softly, added, "I just can't see him as completely wrong."
Jazz leaned forward into Pandore's face to hiss, "He's trying to kill L!"
Her face contorted in misery, Pandore leaned back slightly and tried to keep her voice level as she replied, "Obviously, I don't condone or agree with that, but..." Then she trailed off, hopelessly. She had heard the disbelieving intakes of breath, and she could feel the hostile stares of all her peers, who had just realized that she--she, who was supposed be one of L's "children"--supported Kira. She looked away from Jazz and muttered, "Forget it. You know what? Just forget it. Just..." She shook her head, once, and her carefully-styled hair fell around her face. Without finishing her lunch, she strode out of the cafeteria.

Some hours later, Pandore crept into Roger's office. With considerable effort, she met Roger's eyes and said, "I expect you've heard about what happened at lunch."
She'd meant to toss the words out like skipping stones across a lake, but somehow they sank right away.
Roger simply nodded over his folded hands. "I did."
"I--" Pandore swallowed, broke eye contact. Made no attempt to reinstate it. "I wish to leave Wammy's House. My godmother has returned from AFrica, and she says I may live with her for a while."
"I see." Roger sighed and leaned back in his chair. "Panodre, please realize that we would never force you away from here."
"You wouldn't, and Mr. Wammy wouldn't, and Ms. Masen wouldn't. And L..." Pandore's voice wavered a little on "L," and she swallowed again, very firmly. "I suppose I don't have any right to guess at L's thoughts." Unnecessarily, she hooked some of her hair behind her ear. Her hand was shaking. "But the other kids won't want me here anymore. They hate me now; they think I don't be long here. And I guess they're right. If I can't synchronize my thoughts and feelings with L's, why should I be here?"
"Pandore..."
~
XP And that's where I start wavering.
I know what I want to do next-ish, but I'm having trouble getting there. Plus, I'm really sleepy right now (which is why that sentence very nearly said, "Plush, I'm really sleep right now").
Good night.

1.01.2008

I now have a kitty named Greta.

Unfortunately, she's stuffed. :( Oh well. M'parents won't let me have a real cat 'til I have my own place. She's from TY. She looks like this.

She's named, in case you don't know the reference, after Greta Salpeter of The Hush Sound, because they are awesome. Sigh. They should come out with a new CD so I can buy it. :3 (+Information from facebook: New CD this year! Yay!)

Today we went to the Mall of America. I got a writing book there, as well as Greta. At the Hot Topic there, which was roughly the size of the local one (...lame), they had a Dir En Grey CD for only $14, but... I've never really listened to much DEG, so... I didn't buy it.

Anyway, that is all I have to say for today, I suppose... back to school tomorrow, YUCK!
I did do some babbling about the Jindal story today... It needs a title. XP In the picture I did of Jindal for linoleum carving in art class, I wrote "GHOST KING Jindal", mostly to balance it out... But I don't like that as a title. First of all, he can't be a king... the peacock automatons (the guards) won't let them have a leader. So... yeah. And in any case, he's not leading anything once he's dead.

I'm in such a cat mood right now. Kyah.
