Go Swallow a Knife
I hope Atoli dies in a fire.
So I was fighting Ovan, mmkay? And he is one tough son of a bitch, because he's got AIDA and he likes to conjure various "Neighbors" that are a total pain to get rid of. And I was doing okay, not in too much of a jam yet, though a few extra levels probably would have helped, an then all of a sudden Ovan pulls his tri-edge attack on me and Haseo dies. So what does Atoli, the healer of the party, do? She uses her remaining SP to heal Endrance, who's HP is almost full. Over and over again. That little whore. So I lost, of course, because Haseo's the only one in the party with reviving items apparently, and Atoli is a horrible healer.

Yeah, I'm not too happy with her right now. And she is not "cute". She's like a fugly version of Shino, and I bet Shino was a better party member too. So FTS. -_-

Good Intentions
I was going to post a while back about an interesting experience I had at a clock shop, but I couldn't get my thoughts together on it. Sorry. Instead I'm going to have to post another rant.
So I got a letter from Ursinus college in PA, and my dad and I spent a few minutes poking fun at the pictures and such. Their three pictures were of a random boring modern art sculpture on the grounds, some people doing what appeared to be mud-wrestling, and some guys looking at petri dishes. One of the letter's main selling points was that Newsweek had rated Ursinus one of the "hottest" schools in the country. Hot mud wrestling, chuckle chuckle. My mom was meanwhile looking up the college's website. Before I knew it she was saying I should look into it, because it has an East Asian languages major and minor that is mostly Japanese, along with a relationship with a Japanese university (not actually that unusual), and because they offer pretty good financial aid. I said no-way-jose because I didn't like the feel I got from the letter. It seemed like a small-town college trying to get by on its student population rather than any sort of outstanding academics or, as I prefer, a unique educational/involvement system of some kind. My mom got pissed because she says I was tossing out a college that could give me money, and I countered by saying that I would rather not go to college at all then go to one I don't like because it's cheap, which is true. She seemed understanding for an instant, then went back to saying that Ursinus didn't look bad, and I shouldn't be rejecting it so easily. I said I really wanted this to be my choice, because at this point she's starting to be too pushy, and the last thing I want is to go to a college my parents picked, and she gets really mad and says I'm not choosing at all and I'm doing nothing. WTF? Since when am I doing nothing? Mumsy, most kids don't even know where they want to go yet at this point. So I haven't completed my apps yet, NEITHER HAS ANYONE ELSE. It is still early, and I know I said I wanted to do early application, but thing is, most final deadlines are in December. It's not like we're coming down to the wire. Not to mention I just visited Gettysburg on Monday and did an interview, and I'm almost done with my college essay, and when I'm done with that I'm gonna do the apps right away. So what's with this not doing anything idea? Who is impersonating me and being lazy? Tell me so I can kick the shit out of her. I have enough BS going on right now with my books all locked in my locker because it won't open and no one in administration is doing anything about it.

Anyway, my mom apologized just now, I just needed to get this off my chest. There is too much going on right now, especially with my locker...I think that's what's backing everything up, really. If I could open it, most of my problems would be solved. Oh well. If you don't hear from me again I've probably died of an aneurysm trying to pry it open.

ROFLCopter?
Hee hee hee, I just found the greatest calculus-related pick-up line. Not that there are a lot, but what can I do? Anyway:
"I wish I were your derivative so I could lie tangent to your curves."
XD Doesn't really work for gals though. I mean, some guys are curvy, but that's not really...natural...

Whacha!
(Gotta get back, back to the past, Samurai Jack... *boogies*)
Um, nyeah...
I'm writing my college essay about a person who has influenced me...it's about DES...so I went back over some of my Ye Olde Poftef for reference... Oy. Yeah.
I cannot find that book, Cut. I don't know where it went. I am distressed, because you might maybe possibly remember that it had a big impact on me and is directly connected to DES in my mind. If my mummy threw it out I will be very unhappy. XO
Anyway, I misses DES terribly still. I can wait, but it's not easy. *sigh*

I had chocolate croissants from this lovely bakery called Stella's for breakfast.

Yay.

Elf in His Head
Side note: I just saw an ad for Vampire Hunter D manga that read, "First came the anime, then the novels, now the manga..." Am I mistaken? I thought the novels came first. Certainly they weren't brought to the US first, but that doesn't mean anything.
I'm gonna look it up on Wikipedia... In any case, a manga of VHD sounds downright nummy. I look forward to gushing to you about it.
Edit: I was right, novels came first. Damn banner ads, lying to the public...

Oh God, Dog-Ho
Today was surreal. =_= It started with a mistake and ended with violence. But it was not bad. I shall elaborate.

This morning I had totally forgotten we had Mass and had to wear button-down shirts, so I went to the office to get one to borrow for the day. I ended up with a guy's shirt, which was kinda cool. It smelled nice.
Classes were fine until digital graphics, in which everyone is a freaking idiot. It's not even just not knowing, like in bio. It's outright stupidity. Stuff goes in one ear and out the other. The teacher had to explain grouping objects 4 times. I spent the class drawing Integra in lingerie.
After school there was some chaos trying to figure out who was going where with whom, and during this I was carrying a heavy bag so I was tired. I was kinda fed-up at this point, not grouchy but on a short fuse. A certain someone named Evan, who for some reason, probably God's sense of humor, is the brother of a very nice girl, Kira, my friends hang out with, and who is the biggest jackass I've ever met, I swear it, decided to appear (@_@ confusing sentence...). Ryan, who is a very nice guy (kind of a pushover sometimes), was carrying Kira's bag for her because it was heavy, and Evan said, "Why are you carrying her bag for her?" in a tone that really meant, "Why are you treating my sister like a human being?" I shot back instinctively, "Why are you still breathing?" and he cut me off with a "Shut up." I don't know what came over me, but I just looked at him, and reached over and smacked him across the face. Loudly. He sputtered out some empty threats and bad insults and ran off. The rest of my friends were in happy disbelief. It was...pretty awesome. I'm not saying physical violence solves everything, go out there and hit people you don't like, but he liked to talk about how he wasn't afraid to hit a girl and so on, when all I was doing was insulting him. So he threatened me first, technically. And anyway, I think maybe this will get through to him that he isn't king of the hill, women are not his bitches, and I'm not all talk. He is though, apparently, since he turned tail and fled pretty readily.

So, yeah, now all my friends love me... ^_^U It felt good to finally give him what he was asking for. Now I just have to figure out a way to avoid taking the bus with him.

Oh...
I was having a bad day. My skirts got hemmed too short, and I got lost walking home, not to mention the fact that I just felt like poo this morning.
But an Earthian dA community added one of my least favorite drawings (I only keep it up because I'm too lazy to take it down...) to their faves...
Yeah...
I feel better now.

RTFM, n00b
School has gotten under way and I've been to all my classes now. Most of them are all right, a few should be good, but one I think will be pretty terrible. It is not, as expected, AP lit. or Catholic social teaching. It is, surprisingly, digital graphics. I will now recount my first five minutes in this class.

The girl next to me is moving her mouse and hitting the keyboard confusedly and complains, "It won't turn on." Trying to be helpful but in a foul mood, I reached over and made sure her monitor was on. It was, but was receiving no signal. "You have to turn the computer on," I said, and went to turn away. The girl's baffled look stopped me however, and I repeated myself. "Oh..." she finally replied. She then went back to jiggling the mouse and hitting the keyboard.
Later I heard her whisper, loudly, to her friend, "She's mean!" Okay, so I'm mean. You're stupid. I figure I'm better off.

Annoyances aside, in CST (what I'm going to call Catholic social teaching from now on) the teach gave us a personality test. I'm apparently an INTJ, or a Mastermind of the Rational category. You can see a summary here. I wish I could show you where you can take it online, but I have a feeling it's slathered in copyrights or something. But yeah, good to know I am a Mastermind. Criminal? Perhaps.

I'M HAPPY.......
I think this page needs more happy. So I'm gonna be happy if it kills me.

Hmm. Boring day... I took a Death Note personality quiz and got L, haha. But according to the description, I think I do fit pretty well. I also think I'm a little bit Yagami Soichiro, though not quite so self-sacrificing. I have a great sense of self-preservation like L. ^_^U And I hate socks. Socks are the devil!! I wish I could be like Ryuk. He's so neutral and funny. I could never be so laid-back though. I'm a lil' ball of stress a lot of the time, eep.

So yeah, little bit of a yaoi overdose I guess. I'm leaning towards the female half of my sexuality, you could say. It helps that I've had, like, no female contact this week other than my mom and my dog. I miss the womenfolk. =_= On that note, I had a weeeeiiird dream--nvm. Heh, I may be vulgar at times here, but I don't think you need to hear about that dream. I did have kind of a cool dream a few days ago. It was Yugioh-themed, with some characters from both incarnations. Somebody, I think it was Malik, was being ebil and trapped whoever the crap my gay lover was (I seriously don't remember...glad it's not real life >_<) in some kind of huge pyramid that contained a separate dimension. So I had to run around trying to break into it and stuff. Seto was in there, and he was pretty useless. Also, it was at a school, and somebody took my bag and hooked it on a really high-up wire so I couldn't reach it... Typical school dream there. *sigh* And then I was naked for no reason. Not like naked in front of the class or something like that, just naked. *shrug* It was cold.

I put up some more of my cosplays. I'm thinking once my office is settled I should take pics of it. Show off my Pocky collection and my action figure collection and my language dictionary collection. XD By then it'll be a mess though, ack. I suck at organization.

Anyway, I'm arting a bit this week. I'm tempted to post a link to my dA account, since there's nothing really explicitly offensive there, any more than here... I don't do full nudes or anything. :P I'll consider it. Till then, imagine my arts.

Was that cheerful enough? I hope so. I'm gonna go ink some stuff now. :D

America's Got Hasselhoff
So for some reason unknown to man my mom has been watching America's Got Talent for a while. Since I usually hang out around any TV that's on (I like the background noise), I end up watching it too. And god, is it awful. It's like American Idol but for everybody, which means you get not only bad singers but also people with really stupid "talents". Personally, I would take Simon over the Hoff any day, because at least Simon doesn't base all his decisions on how much he was aroused by the performances. I'm pretty sure Hoff just puts through the girls with big tits and knocks off any guys he doesn't deem manly enough. Just my kind of guy. He would make a good, hmm, stuffed paperweight? Hunting trophy? Dartboard?

My least favorite of all the performers so far is Butterscotch. There are so many reasons. First is her "talent" of beat-boxing--alone it's pretty cool, but she likes to combine it with singing, which is about as effective as playing the flute and singing at the same time. It just doesn't work, sweet-cheeks. Pick one and go with it. The second reason I can't stand her is her stage name. It is not a stretch to say that it sounds like a stripper name. What sane woman trying to make it big on vocal talent uses a handle that makes her sound like a pole-dancer? She seems fairly sensible as far as the everyday, but when it comes to publicity, it seems she can only manage to appeal to the porno-watching crowd.

This brings me to something else that's been bothering me: wanton "femme fatales" as heroines. Pretty much every show starring a "powerful" woman ends up copping out and making her sex-starved and easily won over by a rough hot guy, or else she can't ever get her way except by seducing anyone and everyone in her path. I'm not surprised women have these fucked-up images of themselves with this kind of crap on TV, in books, everywhere. I would like to give at least some guys more credit than they're getting from popular media; not every male runs on sex and beer. But according to this strange media entity, the only way to get by in a man's world is to sleep with them so you don't get trampled. It's sick, really, that people put up with this and are then surprised that gender roles haven't changed much. I may not be an optimist or an idealist, but I would like to think that the human race is worth sustaining.

Anyway. I hate people still. I believe they can improve, but they haven't yet, so until that day, screw people. >:O
