My net is being intermittent and making it impossible to actually play now that my headache has passed, so I will procrastinate sleep five minutes longer to do this.

→ thread tags owed to me: Remus, Severus.
→ kick self for missing Thursday night posting of game pimpage.
→ continue theorizing on why no one wants to play Harry where he can interact with both his past family and his present/future family. HE CAN STILL BE CAPSLOCK AND EMOANGST, IF THAT'S WHAT HOLDS PEOPLE BACK.

I am so behind on rpwrimo that I'm half-tempted to say the thousands of words of backstory I've written for applications lately should count. In my RP world, it does, but that's not the challenge I signed on to do. So, provided the munchkin and my sick blahness cooperates, I SHALL BE A TAG FIEND MOMENTARILY.

I finally sat down to look at steamtrek and it is awesome but soooo overwhelming to me. My ability to get myself involved in huge, original games (rather than huge fandom games) is kind of historically mediocre, so I shouldn't even have looked.

And aaaaaugh, I hate having to throw out a twelve page app (the four page one wasn't a finished app, so I'm not that sad about it) because I was way too into a unique concept that isn't likely to fit anywhere else and now isn't going to fit where I thought it would either. But, honestly, I am not the type to feel comfortable rocking the boat when I'm an applicant who is not in the game and the other applicant (with the concept that mine won't work with) is in game, so I just need to chalk it up to not finishing the app days sooner and things not working how I'd imagined. Still, I feel mopey and I know I'm whiny and I want to say STFU to myself.

ALSO. IT IS CLEARLY FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH. PLZ TO BE ENDING SOON, DAY.

It is so refreshing to my brainspace to have a character who can just OUTRIGHT DISMISS other characters and doesn't feel compelled to comment to every single last comment to her like Lily does. Lily is so tiring to me sometimes, omg, but Druella is like having ~peace~ injected right into my braincells. Bigoted, arrogant peace, but still. :D

I slacked off on doing daily rpwrimo updates, so I should get back on that? :P I'm ahead of Day 8 counts for the 30,000 goal, but behind the 50,000 goal. I'm chalking it up to OOC talking up way too much of my RP time this last week. Tags for Lily are more than half of the current total, but I don't do any more tags for her than the five (soon to be six) others. TL;DR LILY. :P

Why, yes, I do think I could use a little love.

Get yours up there so I can love on you right back.

IDEFK what my word count is at the moment because I spent last night and part of tonight dealing with drama and its fallout, which meant most of my time went to writing emails, rather than writing ACTUAL RP, and then the rest of tonight night was sucked up by my freaking computer going all buggy at me trying to upgrade the RAM. I thought the first time it did this it was a fluke, since RAM can't BE virusy, but damn if it didn't screw up my computer again. It's been properly scanned and cleaned, so all should hopefully be well again.

I hope Wednesday will be a better day for tags, since I'm going to do some now to unwind.

YAY RPWRIMO!

I have two goals here - the 30,000 words goal that everyone doing rpwrimo is aiming for and my own personal goal of 50,000 words because I wanted a NaNo comparable word goal, even if this is the equivalent of two stories because it's two different game worlds (which doesn't count PSL or near-PSL).

( random things; )





( individual character counts; )

.

Virtually no prepwork required, as you can just start with whatever logs/threads/etc you'd already planned to tag tomorrow, a highly manageable 30,000 word goal (1,000 a day! approximately two pages in OpenOffice) and multiple types of writing (logs, narratives, drabbles, etc) that are valid for participation.

SO DO IT. :D

Because I like to know details like this.

WOOT, I'm now through Season Eight (with the exception of Tales of the Vampires)! As I'd been telling silver_x_cross, I went into the comics not sure I'd really like them and I found out I was so very wrong. If I quoted all the bits I loved, I'd basically be reproducing about 3/4 or more of the comics. XD


COMICS-BUYING F-LISTERS: The closest place to purchase comics for me is a half hour away and is just a tiny section of the bookstore franchise in the mall (which means limited selection), so what I'm looking for is where you buy your comics if you buy them online! I'd really like to not have to pay a ton more for the comics with shipping included, so a place with a discount on the cover price and decent shipping would be fantastic.

Also, is there anything I should know about ordering comics online, like do I have to pay extra for sturdy shipping materials or should it be included and other things of that nature?

HAIRY PALM.

THE JDM WAS SO CLOSE I COULD PRACTICALLY SEE IT, WAH.

( SPOILERS )

Dani crashed last night, so we just now watched it, hence the huge delay on this!

( SPOILERS AHOY )

Quickly, while I'm in-between journals:

TWO DAYS. LESS THAN, REALLY. SO FREAKING EXCITED. Make that the 10th.

Okay, the legit reason I opened the update page -- I'm putting together a post to pimp specifically for Sirius and Harry, as the Lily player, but is there anyone else that anyone ABSOLUTELY WANTS that you might want me to add on at the end, in an "and [in-game character] would love [character] and [character]" way? I don't want to do an "EVERYONE EVER" thing because that's frowned upon, so just specific/very important to yours types of characters.

Let me know now, and I'll keep the list and remove any who are apped before I post it.

My Neighbor's Secret.

I honestly have to say, this movie may have traumatized me a bit tonight! NICHOLAS BRENDON, WHY. D:

( spoilers )

I think a "Xander's Greatest Hits"-type Buffy marathon may be in order.

ONE WEEK TO A.M.'s OPENING.

I really thought the longer I had to wait, the more the excitement would have faded, but no, I am still SO ABSOLUTELY JAZZED at being able to play Lily again in just one week. EEEE.

missmegan, hp_anon - How goes set-up things, ladies?

kasterborous - Need me to break out my app-cheering pom poms yet? :D


And this is not an official pimp, exactly, as I'm waiting on the game to be modly pimped first, but I am curious: any Sirius Black players on my f-list who play Sirius with the very close friendship with Lily on top of the James'-best-friend aspect? The game in question is a "pulled from different points in time" concept, so young Sirius or older Sirius, I'm not going to be all demanding and dictate one over the other, but them being close is an aspect that is pretty important to me.

For an example of my Lily with a post-Veil Sirius, you can see this log (multifandom, set in Los Angeles).

God, watching this online was a bitch tonight.

PROMPT: None, it's a birthday ficlet!
AUTHOR: Jessi, princessjessia (Disclaimer)
FANDOM: Heroes, Supernatural [parabolical universe]
CHARACTERS: Claire, Dean, Natalie, Ben.
SUMMARY: The consequences of falling asleep before your child. September 2015.
RATING: PGish.
WORD COUNT: 1590+
NOTES: Future-fic for a current RPG. This scenario has been in my brain for a few months as the art-I-wish-I-could-draw, and with the future plot coming up, it seemed even more fitting for a present. For my BFF, dani_forever, on her birthday, with much love. ♥

( A heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others. )

Does anyone have lineart images of an Order-like phoenix that I could turn into a custom brush in PSP? Apparently mine were corrupted in the secondary's failure and the phoenix images out there are very, very painted/arty and hard to make into a good brush.

Also...

Dear kasterborous;

ARE WE FINALLY GOING TO GET TO RP TOGETHER AGAIN?

Love,
princessjessia


Dear OTS;

THANK YOU FOR FINALLY HAVING A HOLD ON SAM.

Love,
Your Mary player.


Dear self;

Either submit this app or don't, it's ridiculous to keep staring at it and debating over the activity minimums versus your still-not-waning desire to play this character.

No love ever,
Me.

I loved this episode right until the last five minutes, then I snapped from love to hate so fast I think I gave myself whiplash.
