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.

( birthdays and class years )

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.

( SPOILERS, OBVIOUSLY )

All in all? I really approve of this whole episode. It could have been tighter in pacing in parts to keep from being quite so time-heavy in one aspect, but it was really good TV!

( SPOILERS WITHIN )

And now I'm back to wanting to be able to back-to-back the episodes for the whole season rather than wait. XD


IN OTHER NEWS - today's visit by a phone company repairman makes three since the start of September. A few hours after they concluded the visit and I tried out the connection, there was a cut out, but it's been the only major one today that I've noticed. At this point, I just really, REALLY HOPE they've fixed all the issues at last because I'm at the end of my patience at not having consistently functioning internet. It's making it impossible to do things at any kind of NORMAL pace, even things like email, which is really wearing me down with frustration.

[ TECH WHINE ]
I don't think August is supposed to end in rain, even for PA, yet it has and AUGH it's put me at my wits end over the pain in the ass that is my DSL service. It's ridiculous, because I know that the wet lines issue will never be resolved because they simply aren't going to come inspect the miles of phone lines for the piece that is being exposed to the rain. That means I just have to live with it when it cuts out. Screw you, rural setting. I love everything about you except this issue and the lack of delivery food.

So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the replacement modem will arrive soon and will not only stay on as it should (rather than randomly rebooting itself), but will hopefully solve at least some of the line issues by being slightly more functional and not adding to me being kicked offline frequently.

For now, though, I continue to curse at it regularly and find myself getting too frustrated with it to then go try and tag from my phone, so that part really does need a solution.

[ RP-LANDIA ]
I've gotten myself back into (single-fandom) HP public games again, woohoo!

Originally, it was in hopes of finding a place to play Lily, as I'd only played her in PSLs and multifandom games (and I did find that in a game I'll pimp once it's open to holds!), but in the process of hunting, I found a wonderful game that just sort of waved bright signs of "I AM FUN, JOIN ME NOW" despite it being a dark HP era, which motivated me to pick up Gideon in order to join in. It's still a bit weird to me because I know the player who had him previously, but I'm working through the awkward.

I'm feeling in a pimping mood, so:

BS [bumpshunted via bumpers] is a MWPP set in 1980 that would love some Death Eaters, as the Order characters are outnumbering them, and what would DE types be without the lovely society ladies they are married to?

I'd personally REALLY, REALLY adore a Molly and an Arthur, you have no idea how much.

( additions to my BS roster I'm considering )

OTS [ourtrueselves via ourtruemods], a reincarnate game I got into because I was looking for the best of both worlds (original character creation and fandom characters in a multifandom setting) is closed to applications for the month of September, but once they are open again, I would give cookies and love and copious amounts of squee for a Sam Winchester reincarnate. I have Mary there, reincarnated into a wiseass male named Dave. It is open to reincarnates of more than just popular media, so even fairy tales and like, but it's one of the few I've seen current media allowed.

( additions to my OTS roster I'm considering )

And, of course, there is Para [parabolical via paramods] which is going to be two years old on IJ in December! I've been there a year and a half now, and it's had its ups and downs and the other things that come hand in hand with a multifandom game of that length and the size it had been in the past, but it's still trucking along. Currently it has far more manageable character numbers so new players won't be completely overwhelmed, is experiencing an upswing in activity and there are some fun game-wide plots scheduled for the future.

Part of me would still kill for a Five Years Gone Noah Bennet, with the small amount of game backstory or without it, but I know how very rare he is now that the show has moved far past that point in canon, and, to be honest, I'm leery of getting one, only to have him dropped again and hurt my Claire AGAIN, so I don't think I want one enough to actively seek one among complete strangers.

I'm not adding to my roster there, as I've played many off and on over the last year and a half, but I'm happy with the five I've had as my final roster for awhile now.

( AM - some noodling about character interactions )

And it's 6:30 a.m. I officially fail at getting to bed. *facepalm* I'd like to blame the reading of the epic posted for the end of a game I've watched on and off as a reader, but it's really my own fault!

Who must I bribe for there to be an MWPP or revived!characters or time-travel or AU game that has a decently active cast and is seeking both Lily AND James, rather than having one or the other already on the roster?

I know she, like many, is a popular character, but good grief, I've been looking for weeks now for a new game for my Lily and Dani's James, and while we have a possibility, I'm impatient and want to get to writing her now.
