List of things that happened today:

- Blew out a tire.
- Auto dude couldn't take a check or a credit card and neither

rainfall nor myself could withdraw cash from an ATM.
- Scraped together spare change to pay the auto dude.

- Explained to my sister that while her engagement is awesome, I don't want to go out to dinner tonight when I would have to leave immediately and it would be a minimum of two hours of driving.
- Came home and collapsed.

So, fuck you too, universe.

Saw the Avengers yesterday. That movie is really good, Joss Whedon fixed a lot of things I was mrr about, I loved everyone in it, I'm excited for more, and I feel like a horrible person because of all the bad thoughts it inspires. :D

But mostly I'm posting to ask, does anyone have any recommendations for a bank? Now that I'm moved, I have discovered that there are no Chase banks within thirty miles of my apartment, and they only have unhelpful things to say, like, "Well, mail it in!" Because I love sending signed checks through the mail...

Tell me where you do your banking!

Today failed to be awesome. Moved into the new apartment! Great, right? Only the cat chewed through his carrier before we even left the house and ran to scarf down food, so we had to borrow a carrier that smelled like a cat that he now hates because she's been mean to him for three weeks; he had a panic attack, vomited up all the food thirty seconds after I started driving, whined and hyperventilated for the entire hour drive, and took a dump thirty seconds before I pulled into the new apartment. Thanks for loaning me the carrier, Mom. I'm... I'm taking good care of it.

Then cramps and pain; the movers arrived with 100% of our total furniture suffering damage extensive enough to render them trash; the contractor who I have to make a claim with told me they would send me the paperwork and didn't; every box was stacked directly in front of the cable outlet so I had to move them all to set up TV and internet; the remote control broke so I couldn't set up TV; they neglected to provide me with a coax cable for the splitter so I couldn't set up the internet; I went out and got a new remote and a coax cable and came back to find that my TV service was wrong and the super-internet we pay extra for went out three times in one hour and they swear it's not their fault.

On the bright side: I am very happy with the local Chinese delivery place. So... that makes up for everything! I guess.

Does anyone know anything about Sactionals? If anyone has any reviews/experiences I'd love to hear...

( Cut for large, uncensored images of furniture. )

April is going to be so busy ack ack. Tonight starts my planning for the move regimen, which starts with "take excess clothes to be donated" and "NAIL SALON, GIRLFRIEND", because my priorities are totally straight. This will be crowned with sushi and tiny celebration of

rainfall's job.

Craaap. I feel my brain gravitating back towards The World Ends With You. I blame

fic_promptly's theme for the day being "art", since everyone in that game is all up in art, all the time. I want to play it and write for it and arghhh get out of my brainnnn. I have to finish Gracesssss.

This Passover meme is cracking me up, too.

I have no energy or focus todayyyy ahhh why is my brain like this.

Moving status update:
☑ Movers acquired
☑ Auto shipping acquired
☑ Boxes acquired
☑ Tickets acquired (hypothetically)
☑ Holy shit less than a month acquired

Okay, so, you all don't know how much money has been gnawing at my brain. We're making a pretty big move, from metro Denver, CO to Delaware, in about five weeks. And I've been fretting because this is the feedback I get from various people in my life:

Me: So I'm going to move.
Peers: Obviously you're going to roadtrip it with a rental truck. It'll be great, you'll see the country, so much fun!

Me: So I might roadtrip it.
Mom: Are you crazy? That's like five days on the road, just to save some money? The only way to do it is to fly, and then ship everything. Then you'll just be here, and the travel will be done.

Me: I might actually fly.
Peers: Flying and then shipping everything?! Now that is crazy. You'll have to ship your car, hire movers... It'll be so expensive! What a monumental waste of money.

My mom made a very compelling point -- the road-trip would really only be fun for the first half a day, probably -- but my peers got me feeling pretty bad about the extra expense. So I finally broke down and did a price estimate, and it turns out the two methods are actually fairly comparable for me.

( Dollar signs and words to follow. )

Okay, body. I am through with this being sick business. This is twice in three weeks, it's been several days of sore throat, and I've had it with just waiting to feel better. I am going to take all of the drugs. All of them! No more postnasal drip! I will postnasal your face.

...Body!... Yeah, maybe I should've thought that out better.

Whatever! I will take my drugs and feel better! Do you hear me?! I refuse to sit here feeling bad and listless and then more bad about being listless!

--Oh! Oh, my congestion is starting to break up already. It's workinggggg.

...I should've done this a while ago instead of sticking it out, I guess.

.........We have no tissues.

Okay. I'm alive again. Back to my 75%. I have today off and I took tomorrow off because I'm probably still contagious and I'd like to not spread the plague to Colorado. I'm going to do a whole bunch of things today. Here, I will talk about them!

~~Shower.~~
Yeah. Don't ask about the last time I was clean. You won't like the answer.

Consider doing some of the 72 tags in my inbox.
But I don't know if that will happen. That might take more energy than I have.

~~Play Tales of the Abyss 3DS.~~
I don't know if I'm going to be able to app Peony at marinasylum in March given the current state of my tags, but we'll see.

Watch some of the pile of TV I want to finish.
Here's the current list of TV shows I want to watch: finish Sherlock season 2, and catch up on ~~Parks & Rec~~; try Big Bang Theory, Grimm, Once Upon A Time, The River, Alcatraz, Ringer, Homeland, Smash, and Terra Nova. Fuck yeah.

~~Transcribe more of the Silence of the Dragonrider chapter.~~
I meant to do more of that while I was at the funeral, but... yeah. Deathly ill and incapable of movement or not being in pain prevented that from happening, so I'm very behind.

Write, write, write.
I have a lot of reasons to be psyched for writing. Here are all the things I am writing for:
- fic_promptly is doing a challenge week -- fill as many prompts as you can. No one submits Tales of Vesperia prompts but me, so I will be filling out my own prompts + old Vesperia prompts, plus whatever "any" prompts catch my eye. (2 done so far.)
- areyougame prompts are up. Few of them are Vesperia, but for some reason a lot of other series ones caught my eye. I will be trying my hand at those.
- tales_100 prompt for the week, "wintry".
- no_true_pair prompts are out, and I have 4-7 things I want to write for it, minimum. I have one started at about 10%.
- My newgameplus assignment is about 60% done. It is not Vesperia-related! I know this writing list is shocking. (DONE.)

I am the most sick. It's me.

I had to wake up to be sick every two hours like clockwork from 9pm to 9am. It may or may not have stopped now.

Best thing in the world: Come to a family member's funeral, have to deal with surviving family member's bullshit, catch deathly ill with a stomach virus from them.

I might be okay now. But I hate everyone.

Wheee! There's over a foot of snow outside and around two feet in some other places, and it's going to continue blizzarding all day! My employer is only on a two hour delay, so I told them to ~~go fuck themselves~~ expect me on Monday! /bounce~~

Time to catch up on my translating and play some FFXIII-2.

I want to thank those of you commenting to my entries (and my fics) even when I don't respond. I love all the comments I get and they really make me feel better. I just -- can't do anything that requires composing my own thoughts lately. So I apologize for not being able to respond. /gathers up everyone

I'll be posting another 2-day calorie rundown tonight before I take the Triazolam. I meant to do weigh-ins once a week, but I've decided to skip this week because I know it won't be representative of my normal weight loss or gain.

Then... I guess I'll be unconscious for most of tomorrow?? No one can really tell me. I'm very intimidated by the Triazolam. They're the tiniest, cutest pills in the world and they are capable of making me sleep-drive.

I'm sure

rainfall will keep everyone on Plurk informed of my hilarious sleep antics until I am coherent again.

( TMI. Also, cursing. )

So here are the things the last 36 hours have wrought:

I want to move across the country.
I want to get a new job.
I want to buy a house.

Yeah. And the worst part is that all of that is within my grasp if I really want it. Our lease is up at the end of March and Colorado has not been good to me, jobwise. I've missed the east coast and I have my dad's money to finance a house with if I want. A house would actually be a cheaper monthly payment than renting. And then how grown-up would I be?! A homeowner! A regular big kid.

My mom mostly talked me out of trying to buy a home from halfway across the country in a place I've never lived in and don't know if I'm going to like, but I'm still secretly browsing houses squeeing at them. I don't even know.

And I'm finding jobs and applying to them, and so has

rainfall, and she's already gotten a request for an interview. So. Freaking out right now.

I want to move. I want to get a job. I want a house!!

Right now the options are looking like Baltimore, Maryland area, or Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area.

I literally can't think about anything else at the moment. I've been ignoring my tags and Plurk for days. Someone help me. Or maybe I should just give in and take a short hiatus.

rainfall: We could have pizza.

sincere: Sounds good to me~

rainfall: Or we could be good and have something plus a vegetable side.

sincere: Pizza is a vegetable!

THANKS, U.S. GOVERNMENT! /salute

I was pretty productive today. Went shopping, bought healthy food, going to start counting calories again. Did lots of tags and modthings. Have my bereavement cards.

rainfall is playing FFXIII. All is well. Should've done more job searching than I did, but ah well. I'm not good at job searching. /orz

See if I can do more tags, maybe some writing, and some transcribing with what's left of the night. That'll be great.

Updated all my journals with Li's gorgeous new layout, which you can find here. I'll do my RP journals as needed, since... none of them are currently in use on DW. Sadface.

I was going to put my to-do list on Plurk before realizing that this is not conducive to my goal of being on Plurk less, nor being on DW more! So instead I'm doing it here.

( Read more... )

Today's plans:

Oh god did I really post that kinky Estelle/Flynn porn? I really did. Fuck.

Half-day at work. Continue quasi-working for the next 45 minutes. Go home.

Eat delicious Chinese food. It's super cheap if you order during lunch.

Get OPI gel manicure updated.

Roll around in fic_promptly all fucking afternoon. cypher made so many lovely TOV prompts I want to do.

Translate!!

...None of these plans contain RP. I guess that's a good thing?! It was on my resolutions for the new year to not be eaten by RP. sob I need to help people get to activity-length threads, though... I will prioritize only AC threads.

And I am definitely not going to write a pointless ramble about the recent D. Gray-man chapters. Definitely not.

But maybe I will add some prompts on

fic_promptly...

Yeah, that's right. Spamming all yo' Tales of communities, Dreamwidth! I'm even going to post my Estelle topping Flynn crossdressing frottage fic that I never posted because sldkfjslkjg I don't post porn!!

...I'm just going to give it some time first. Don't want to really spam.

I'm thinking about resolutions for the new year. A few of them are obvious:

❚ Stay active on DW. Personal journalwise and communitywise.
❚ Write more. Even if it's only fandom drabbles.
❚ Translate daily. Personal goal: New chapter weekly.
❚ Make progress in video games. Personal goal: One per month.
❚ Try not to get consumed by Plurk or RP.
❚ Get a permanent job.
❚ After relocating to new place: Buy an elliptical. Put it in front of the TV. Use it regularly.

That's a pretty ambitious amount already. And all of it personal improvement -- trying not to zone out my days and waste my internet time.

My attention span is so fail lately, I don't do anything but browse the internet aimlessly and RP. Ughh. I blame Plurk for being such a timesink. And my taxes for being so very -- very depressing. I've been playing a lot of Dragon Age: Origins and Spirit Tracks, trying to get them out of my log of games so that I can get on to DA2 and Re:Coded. I haven't been writing, even though I have two DGM fics in various stages of doneness, both of them maybe around 50%.

But I have been... um... exercising! That's right I have adopted a regularly at-home exercise schedule. It might not be terribly impressive but it's better than nothing.

I might be moving if I still don't have a job before my lease is up. East coast or California? Who wants me? /sob

Also, everyone should consider

liftingtheveil for all their Dreamwidth and/or survival horror RP needs. I'm so excited lsjkflsdkjg I'm apping Mithos and Namine and Allen and I don't need time for more characters. XD

Skipped my usual flailing over the Bleach chapter: suffice to say that I'm very happy KT didn't drop Chad's arm subplot. I've been busy busy.

I fiiiinally found a Dreamwidth game with a premise I am really into, so I apped Allen there. sdlkfjslg they're not officially reviewing apps until the end of the week and I'm impatient. ...so impatient that I have already picked out icons for his paid account that he doesn't have yet, that I am composing lists of his memories and skills for his journal, and making an account for him on IJ to practice playing Allen without memories. Yep, I am a loser.

Aside from people trying to drag unrelated wank to Marina's doorstep like a cat with a live snake that happened to me once when I was too young to know not to touch the snake that is like a metaphor within a metaphor, mannnn things are going awesome there. The Sentience plot is creeping forward, I finally have an awesome Lenalee for my DGM cast (

hamleting ♥♥), we have an event set for day 100, and our second anniversary is coming up~!

I also might actually be getting Bleach castmates (

fiannan ♥♥ apping Renji and Fina apping Hitsugaya)! Orihime, Renji, and Hitsugaya are one of the three most random possible Bleach cast combinations, but I'm hoping that the random will make it a little easier to recruit new cast. I am normally chill with Orihime being on her own, since she does her own thing, but lately I personally have been dying to get her castmates. I might advertise for once instead of just crossing my fingers and hoping someone finds it... I want more Karakura kids, maybe an Ulquiorra~*~ If you know anyone awesome who roleplays Bleach, tell them I want them. :|a

And one of our new players proposed a Balthier to play with my Fran. This is a little more problematic, because... I'd been thinking of dropping Fran... but hngh a Balthier would be amazing and I want that. So I'm going to hang on and try to stick it out for a while longer.

But, most importantly, 1) eee I'm excited for Marina, 2) eee I'm excited for the Dreamwidth game, and

3) We're most of the way to the next D. Gray-man chapter. I live for that moment all month. CARDINAL? BOOKMAN? LET'S GET THIS THING ON.
