dreaming on

Actually doing all right now. I managed to make myself get moving and I wrote up a modpost for randomizing for the upcoming setting; we can do some ATP tomorrow for wanted characters, and I did some Bruce tags! It's been two weeks and it feels good.

But if Blizzard offered me another 14-day trial, or if I could get a Scroll of Resurrection, it is hilarious how fast I would be playing World of Warcraft again.

But in the meantime I am playing Fire Emblem: Awakening (I love strategy games...) and I am briefly distracted by dragons! If anyone reading this is on Flight Rising who hasn't already friended me, then let me know and I will add you. I also have two guys who just hatched under the cut: ( Read more... )

I don't suppose anyone wants to sit down and beta-read 17,000 words of AU Thor/Jotun Loki fanfic, do they? >_> ...Today? /cough

Just... Let me know...

I have been wasting my break happily writing, watching movies, and playing that Avengers Alliance game. I have done almost none of the things I told myself I was going to do, including finish any of the ten books that I took out of the library to read over the break. Sigh.

But the Avengers Rifftrax comes out today, so my day is made.

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

Something awesome I've discovered: if I use the Portable Apps suite, and bring the USB it's on to work, I can be running my home Firefox on my work PC. LJ Login and all! It's beautiful.



I want to encourage any writery types to check out kinkfest! The prompts are up and open for claiming.

A giant list of the prompts available are here, and none of them are due until May -- so there's plenty of time for you to get writing if you're inspired by any of them. Fics can be anything 100 words or more, and they don't have to be porn, despite the community name.

Please just for the sake of seeing, do a search for your fandom and take a look at the prompts? Do it for me!

I am also available to provide dry commentary on prompts if anyone is interested in hearing me bitch about any of them based on characterization, cliches, trends, or overall intelligence level. Name a fandom I know and I will do it. Hell, I already have, over IM.

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.

Things I'm Not Doing Today:
+ Tags
+ Writing
+ Translating
+ Looking at Plurk
+ Working, Really


Things I'm Doing Today:
+ Planning To Go Home, Lie Horizontally, And Read Cracked.com Articles Out Loud While rainfall Plays Final Fantasy XIII

...Looks good to me! Oh, hey, and

+ Where Is My Damn Bleach Chapter


ETA: Wait! I know. I'm boycotting internet productivity in protest about SOPA/PIPA. I am so trendy and on-topic. You wish you were all as principled as I am.

...Seriously though, that is a serious issue that you should all protest against if you don't know about it.

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... )

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.

Things I should be happy about:

• I finished and really liked a fic for Tales of Vesperia... First fic for a new fandom...!


• My new Nook color is awesome and I'm reading again. Free ebooks! New HDTV is also awesome.


• I had a job interview and it went pretty well. I feel good about my future prospects!


• Allen is getting a puppy in Marina. ♥♥♥ And kissing bots!


• Halfway through the fourth season of Supernatural. There are occasional shaky bits, but fun episodic horror comedy is fun.


• Flying in Azeroth proper makes me happy. The cataclysmic new world of Warcraft makes me happy!


• I might be getting a visit from fenrisulfr before the end of the year!

So... you would think I'd feel better...

I'm just possessed by this terrible ennui. I don't even know. My buzz has been pretty consistently ruined by various small events all month even though I'm in an otherwise good place. But now I don't want to do anything but zone out and read.

/sighs

To Do Today:

     1. Feed the cats.
They need food to survive. Also water.

     2. Apply to jobs.
The ones bookmarked over the weekend, and any new ones that may have popped up on your favorite site while you weren't looking.

     3. Pay bills.
We'd like our new cable/internet provider to not think we can't pay our bills on time.

     4. Feng shui up the kitchen.
My mom has recently gone crazy, and swears up and down that feng shui works, despite telling me things like "If you put a mirror across from your bed, your chi will see its reflection while you're asleep and get scared." So clean up the clutter and put in the mirror to fix your financially disastrous stove location.

     5. Seriously consider going out to buy graph paper.
     5. Graph out the house using libekory's graph paper. Then graph out Merlin's house in Hollow Bastion for Another Side.
Makes it easier to, you know, graph out the house. But it involves riding my bike to Target, probably... Sigh.

     6. Reth Reth Reth.
I'm still in love with my guild name.


To Do Tomorrow, Or Today If You Are Feeling Industrious:

     1. Put up new ad for roommate.
Taha will be staying until July 15th instead of July 1. Ad needs to reflect that.

     2. Fix the tags on your LJ.
They're sort of half-done, you moron.

     3. Clean the horrible clutter from your room in preparation for feng shui'ing.
Yeah. And move that desk downstairs, while you're at it. Desks don't belong in the bedroom, it's terrible feng shui.

     4. Reread all of D. Gray-man.
...what?
