Onward to Sin City!  
24 December 2009 @ 02:42 pm
Half hour and I will be leaving for Sin City! Isn't it amusing that I am spending Christmas there? And in four hours I will know if I am spending Christmas alone, with my dad, or with both my parents. Isn't it exciting? If I were to gamble on this ( HA! ) I would bet that both parents will show up.

However, they still haven't told me anything about what they are doing. My family is known for being bad at communication, but at least we communicate. Usually. Oh well. . .

If you take a peek at my Twitter from time to time you will get updates as to what I am doing this weekend. :3

I promise to not reenact anything from The Hangover. I think it would be nice to go through life without being shot in the face by a taser.

See ya'all Sunday! Merry Christmas and all that jazz.

Dream of Death  
24 December 2009 @ 07:36 am
I am starting to remember my dream now and I remember dying. At least, I am pretty sure I died. At the very least, came close to it.

My work was cut in half and the other half was a light rail station I remember while I was in Texas. Like, my work was missing the whole north side and it was open to the outside and there was the station. Half the sales cubes were gone too.

I was working and looked over at the traffic department to see an old familiar face. He's someone I use to work with a long time ago and who had a big crush on me and another one of my coworkers. I feel awkward, tried to focus on my work again, but he comes over to say hi.

We start chatting, he's telling me what he has been doing this whole time and that he wanted to come check out my work as he was thinking of working here. During this whole time I just wanted to say, "I have a girlfriend now!" as I was getting the feeling he still liked me. But I couldn't figure out how to work it into the conversation.

But then he confesses to me that he use to have a crush on me, but that he's over that now. I smile and it was at that moment a train goes by. Yes. An actual train train.

It makes the guy jump, ask "What was that?" and I explain "Oh, that just happens from time to time. They come through here." He laughs a little nervously "From time to time and it's no big deal?"

We head over to the loading platform and look over the station. I am explaining it a bit to him and another train goes by.

When the third one comes by, it is smaller and more like a light rail tram. . .however, I get the tense feeling I am in trouble. As it passes, I feel a big gust of wind just knock me up and carry me into the air. It didn't affect anyone or anything else, just me. I remember reaching my hand out for him, but it was no use. He stared and watched for a moment and then came running after me. I went up pretty high and then fell onto the ground, skidding for a long ways. I know the guy tried moving me and calling for me, but I didn't respond. I was now seeing everything outside of my body as if I was laying very close to it and facing it. I couldn't move. I tried. . .but I didn't have the energy.

Well, it's Christmas at last, and from the sound of you all on Twitter your cards are sent, and your presents wrapped. It's been great hearing all your cries of delight recently, as your poor postmen and women have struggled with packages through the snowy weather!( More )

Happy New Year~!  
23 December 2009 @ 10:50 pm
Sorry to spam your FList.

There are a few things I can't draw that frustrate the hell out of me. Horses are one. I cannot draw them! TO THIS DAY. Thankfully the desire to draw horses is low now.

Kissing pictures is another bane of my existence. It's why I don't draw them. I couldn't even draw Serenade and Meijin kissing no matter how hard I tried. *Sulks* Last's year holiday card of Graham/Sumeragi was probably the first kissing picture I had done for a long while. And I don't even have a copy of that. MY 00 OTP AND I HAVE NO PROOF OF IT. *DEATH*

Whenever it is close to New Years, the desire to draw a kissing picture is high. I just love the tradition of kissing your loved one at midnight. ;~; It fills me with so much happy, I don't know why.

So I am trying. Again. And this time I am not going to freak out if I hate it and not post it. I'll post it no matter how shitty I think it looks. Because I know I need to and need to practice.

I spent a good amount of time on it tonight. I can't believe how many sketch layers I did. I think I did 7. Anyway! I'm just about to "ink" it. Here's a peek! It's Howard/Joshua because, lol. . .I want to. ( It will be funny. )

First of all, this video is amazing. It's a seven-minute video consisting of footage from 300+ movies released this year.

These, I found intriguing:

"Explaining" Lady Gaga (from nymag) :

"In thirty tears there hasn’t been a real contender for the New Madonna crown. Lady Gaga — Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, a 23-year-old musical prodigy from Queens — is the first pop star since the Material Girl to emerge as the true architect of her own image. It's not just that she writes and sings her songs herself. (Avril Lavigne can do that). It's not just that she comes up with the baroque concepts for her videos, stage shows, and costumes, then hires the best in the business to execute her visions. (Gwen Stefani can do that.) It's that, like Madonna, Gaga sees being famous as the ultimate art form. Her music, the theater of her shows, and the mini-films that are her videos — all of these things are part of the living, breathing, pulsating performance art piece she's building out of her celebrity."

and James Franco "explaining" his acting in the soap opera General Hospital (From WSJ qtd in nymag) :

"I disrupted the audience's suspension of disbelief, because no matter how far I got into the character, I was going to be perceived as something that doesn't belong to the incredibly stylized world of soap operas. Everyone watching would see an actor they recognized, a real person in a made-up world. In performance art, the outcome is uncertain — and this was no exception. My hope was for people to ask themselves if soap operas are really that far from entertainment that is considered critically legitimate."


legitimizing vapid pop music/legitimizing soap operas or de-legitimizing everything else considered more highbrow?

It's on now.  
23 December 2009 @ 05:26 pm
Started playing a little Pandemic II again for lulz. On my lunch break I started a new game, virus, and I started in the dreaded island of Madagascar. I say dreaded because that's usually a hard place to get to.

So I was amused that I got to start there. Quickly sold off my fever to work and focus on moisture resistance, heat and cold resistance, and water and air transmission. I waited.

I started to see the country turn colors, I already infected half the population. But I wasn't getting off the damn island! I panic. I add sneezing to try and up my infectability. I just needed to get to SOME OTHER COUNTRY with a fricken airport or something. God.

Eventually I infected EVERY ONE on Madagascar and that's when they were like, "Oh shit!" and closed their seaports. So I have no chance of infecting any other country. FINE. I started adding symptoms. At least I can have the satisfaction of killing Madagascar, right?

My Polaris Virus now causes sneezing, coughing, fever, sweating, vomiting, fatigue, diarrhea, nausea, pulmonary edema, and dementia. NOT ONE PERSON HAS DIED.

THEY ARE LIVING THROUGH HELL, BUT THEY ARE STILL ALIVE. After I got seven of those I became determined. It's on now. I did ( obviously ) pause the game and came back to it after work ( now ).

The rest of the world is so freaked out they closed down borders, shut down airports, shut down seaports. . .I'm like "Dude! I can't get you. Calm down." And apparently I can't kill anyone. Seriously. I'm saving up for hemorrhaging and if THAT doesn't do the trick I. . .don't know. lol.

IRONY.

Edit: Hemorrhaging, blindness, and hypotonia later. . .ARGH.

Edit Edit: Hypersensitivity, ataxia, and depression later. . .FINALLY! :KAHSD"WE!

Merry Fucking Christmas to meeeeee!  
23 December 2009 @ 03:09 pm
I love my family. Ready for this? Get out some popcorn.

I will either be spending Christmas in Vegas alone, with just my dad, or both my parents. Here's what is going on.

My mother's sports car has been making a noise and as a loving gesture, my dad took it to the shop here in Spokane to get it fixed while my mother was gone three weeks ago. They still haven't fixed the car. ( My dad was hoping to get the car back before she came home. ) So this past weekend, my mother tells me they are going to come get the car either Monday or Tuesday regardless because this is ridiculous. They would say hi and we would go out and have dinner, that sort of thing.

Monday and Tuesday comes and goes and I didn't even get one word from them. I'm use to this, that's why I hadn't mentioned anything until now.

Then at work today I get an email from my dad, letting me know what is going on. They didn't show up because as it turns out, they ordered the part and so they couldn't come get the car. My mother is PISSED and threatened to not go on the trip to Las Vegas. My dad adds that he found out today that they can't get the car until next week and he hasn't told mother yet. As he put it, "I don't know what is going to happen."

For a split moment I felt a little guilt, because you know what? I'm still going to Las Vegas. I got my flight information and my own hotel room, why wouldn't I go? I didn't have to think about it.

I wanted to tell dad to just leave mother behind, but. . .that doesn't seem right of me. So I write back saying thanks for the update, sorry he has to go through all this, that I love him very much, and "I hope I see you in Las Vegas tomorrow."

I get the reply: "One way or another, I'll be there to greet you."

That email made me so ecstatic. I have a hard time seeing my dad leave my mother like that, but you never know. I'm just proud that he has been getting better. He's been standing up for himself more and more and not put up with my mother's shit as much anymore. Who knows. I half wonder if my mother will leave during the middle of the night again to go drive and see her family in California.

EVERYTIME I TALK ABOUT MY FAMILY I FEEL LIKE I AM MAKING THIS SHIT UP, BUT I'M NOT. Ha ha.

So, I am either spending Christmas in Las Vegas alone, with my dad, or with my parents and I can't see how things WON'T be awkward with that last one.

Either way, I am going to Las Vegas tomorrow and so excited. I can't wait to get my hair cut, maybe get a massage, do a little drinking, and eat some good food. YEAH. I am packing tonight.

Something I've Never Said, But Thought  
23 December 2009 @ 12:16 pm
I have mixed feelings about the term "cross-dressing" and the term "crossplay" annoys the fuck out of me.

I just want to wear clothes that give me confidence and that I think make me look good.

I also would like to wear clothes without cat hair on them, but that is simply not an option.

LiveJournal Major Notes: Get your holiday fix!  
23 December 2009 @ 11:37 am

Holiday debuggery

We know there were a few kinks with the holiday promotion. We've been working very hard to get them ironed out. If you have a paid/permanent account, keep on sending those coupons. Here's an update:

  • If you were unable to send out multiple coupons at a time, please perform a hard refresh, and you should be good to go.
  • If you redeemed a coupon to upgrade your account and the balance at checkout was $0 instead of $9.95 or $15, this means your upgrade did not go through (nor were you charged). We've straightened this out, so you can now apply your holiday coupon toward the purchase of an annual paid account.
  • If you tried to redeem a holiday coupon and had trouble using a gift certificate to cover the balance of an annual paid account, we identified the root problem. If this happened to you, you can now use your holiday coupon together with your gift certificate.
  • If the number of holiday coupons you have available suddenly goes up (instead of down), this might be due to recipients declining the coupons, at which point your pool of available coupons will be replenished and, therefore, increase.
  • If you need assistance with holiday coupons or pretty much anything else (well, LiveJournal related), please open a support request and we'll be more than happy to help!

Tweaks

  • There were some initial glitches displaying results on My Guests, but we've worked them out. We hope you'll check out who's been checking you out!
  • Some of you reported formatting issues using the Rich Text Editor (i.e., line breaks were being removed incorrectly). We've implemented a fix! Thanks so much for your patience.

Give a little extra!

We're pleased to report that we've already sold over 100 virtual red ribbons in honor of National AIDS Awareness month. Remember, for each charitable vgift you purchase for $2.99, we'll donate 100 percent of gross proceeds to IAVI.org (the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative) to fund the development of an HIV vaccine. Once again, we thank you for your generosity.

Celebrate with holiday vGifts!

Stop by the Virtual Gift Shop and share some holiday magic with your LiveJournal friends.

Photos of the week

We're back with more dazzling pictures from around the world. Congrats to [info]marlenemcc, who has been awarded a virtual blue ribbon as the winner of our fourth photo contest. We hope you'll click over to LJ_Photophile poll and tell us your picks in pics!

For more fantastic user content, we'll meet you under the cut. ( Read more... )

Thanks, again, for reading. Here's wishing you the very merriest of holidays. We'll see you next year!

So if you remember back in the day I was seriously contemplating dreading up my hair. I can't say I'm still not completely opposed on the idea, but I've decided to at least wait until I give modeling a good solid effort. If that doesn't happen then I'm dreading it up shortly afterwards.

In the meantime a month or two ago I had a friend start a dread in my hair. It's starting to get super solid and look beautiful. I love how perfect the texture of my hair is for dreads. The little secret on my dread progression is the fact that only half of it is actually attached to my head. Intrigued? You should be.

So, fandom secrets today had the following:

"I'm jealous of the fact that she gets so many comments on her 'art'. They're just chibis and they're all of the same pairing. After 100+ of them, they all start to look the same.

S!B she's the fandom darling and people would hate me if they knew.

B!S You're a nice person and I want to like you. I just wish people would stop fawning over everyone little thing you do."


I know it isn't about me. Unless OP was exaggerating about, well, everything. But it still makes me go "D:" at it because, lol, if I had more free time in the world, I would draw my chibis! I do want to finish all my chibi comics, I do. I would happily spam dA with them.

So.

D:

I'm also really curious to know what fandom that's for because, lol, chibis! :D
