Okay. Seriously.

Whoever is commenting on my entries with random html-laden trash that doesn't even work right, you need to stop. Yes, you. The one who is targeting my Final Fantasy fanfiction (yes, I noticed, I'm not stupid). Go spam someone else.

I've changed my commenting security, so hopefully you won't be able to keep it up any longer.

Once more, with feeling:

Go. The. Fuck. AWAY!

This will probably be my last entry before GJ goes the way of the diskette drive...Let's see if this is what it takes to completely crash the backup DB. My LJ is in perfect working order, though, so you can find regular updates there.

*is 21* Yay!!

Yesterday I thought I'd not attend a quiz section, because it was my birthday and I was going to treat myself with not having a class which doesn't really help me understand the concepts too well. But then I told myself I was just being lazy and I was going to go, even if I have to be an internally whiny brat about it.

Umm....since the class is at 10:30am and by the time I post this it'll undoubtedly be after, you can plainly tell something went wrong with that plan.

So now I just have class at 12:30-1:20, and then a watch a movie/discuss a movie from 1:30-3:50. And also turn in my 4-5 page paper for that movie class....WHICH I FINISHED THE DAY BEFORE IT WAS DUE!!! O.O I'm not used to that feeling of accomplishment in college.....'tis sad. And it wasn't even a "3 minutes til midnight, printprintprint!" kinda thing. It was an, "Oh, it's 8:30 and I'm done....what do I do now with the rest of my night?" thing. *shrugs*

Don't know when my mother and sister will get up here, but sometime after 4:00 I'm going home. And I will (supposedly) have a Baskin Robbins ice cream cake ready to pick up by tomorrow. Yay! Me gusta el cake! Cake를 좋아!

Probably the only thing I'm not going to like about this weekend is needing to talk to my mother about Rome. I know she says she's okay with me going and that she wants me to go, but....well, it's the typical, "I'm glad you're going but don't go," that I fear.

Heartfelt wishes to the NIU students, and that all this violence occuring nationwide and in Seattle will stop.

AND I GET A FREAKIN' WHITE CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ZOMGHAKLDHFKASDHF;ASHDFLASJDFHASLD;FHASL;DFH;ASDFHL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit 4:42 PM: So, the snow stopped for a little bit a while ago.....BUT THEN IT CAME BACK WITH A VENGEANCE!!!!!!!!!!! And so, like the little kid I am......I WENT OUT AND PLAYED IN THE SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I took pics with my new digital camera!!! It's not one of those professional digital cameras, but just a little thing that fits in the palm of my hand (which, if you don't know me, doesn't really help you in picturing it, does it....), so the images aren't very great.

( I pranced....I am not ashamed to admit it )


A BADWOLF sign magically appeared in front of my carport, but it's too dark to take a picture of it now.....Maybe tomorrow.......*shifty eyes*

HAVE A HAPPY CHRISTMAS/HANUKKAH/KWANZA/WHATEVER-IT-IS-YOU-CELEBRATE EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, y'know all that "oh, pity me, pity me, my week's been overrun by homework," blah blah blah stuff I wrote earlier?

Yeah. It's all better now. CAUSE IT'S FREAKIN' SNOWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know how else to emphasize the WONDERFULNESS that is the SNOW, except to make the words nice red and white and green colors, and I don't know how to do that, so I'll leave it as is. ADKHFALSKHDFLADHALDHFLASDK!!!

Yes, Jan-jan and Mom: I'll stop whining about how I never get snow. ^_________^

PICTURES!!!!!

Yes, you'll actually get to see me, the real person me. And that's Nikki, and Hansee and our friend Ally. ^__^ We like snow. Edit: I put the pics in a separate f-locked post for the sake of privacy and so I could open this one to the public. If you're really that interested in seeing the pics, then *gasp* you'll have to friend me! (or else friend my friend Nikki [aren't I getting into the whole lj-lingo...using "friend" as a verb...])

I'd gotten up at about noon and there'd been no sign of snow, and then I looked back up again and THERE WAS SNOW!!!!!! I booked it outta my room and called up Nikki, and we had lots of fun in little courtyard in front of my room. We went to the Quad where we (meaning her with her camera and me with my phone) took lots of pictures while our hair turned icicle-y, went to McMahon to have food, and went back to Hansee (where it was even more obvious that Hansee IS Hogwarts).

I took an insanely long shower, and used my satsuma shower gel. The shower stall now smells like satsuma. Hehehehehehe.

In other (slightly sadder) news, Evel Knievel died Friday. Madeleine L'Engle, Robert Jordan, Evel Knievel.....who next? *sigh*

But then.....24 DAYS TIL DOCTOR WHO CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!!!!! *dances* Nikki and I are gonna watch more DW later. And last night we were watching the episode School Reunion, and the Headmaster of a school came on and spoke and I kinda said aloud to Nikki and myself, "Man, that sounds and looks so much like Giles...." And then we got a close-up of the Headmaster, and I thought, "Okay, no, too much likeness...he's gotta be..." And Nikki remembered that, yes, Anthony Head IS the Headmaster, and my head exploded with fangirly-glee. 'Cause now that's a nice crossover-cameo exchange between the BtVS/DW-Verse. The Doctor and Rose were in the Buffy comics ("No Future For You, Pt. 1") and now Giles-in-Ripperish-form in Doctor Who!!! *flails*

I called my home today to let my family know that it was snowing, and the machine picked up first, so I screamed into the phone, "IT'SSNOWINGIT'SSNOWINGIT'SSNOWINGIT'SSNOWINGIT'SSNOWINGSSSSSSQQQQQQQQQUUUUUEEEEEEEEEE!!!!" Yes, that is literally what I did and said, right down to the lack of spacing and the SQUEE!. I am not lying. My sister could easily confirm it.

It's still snowing. IT'S STILL FREAKING SNOWING!!!!

[After arriving at Hansee after dinner, in the fork between McKee and Blaine]
Me: "So, Doctor Who'ing tonight?"
Nikki: "Oh, yeah, absolutely."
Leah (another nearby girl on our floor): "Doctor Who'ing?"
Nikki and I in (unplanned) conjunction: "Oh, yeah, it's totally a verb now."
Nikki: JINX!! --

More to come, probably.

TGIF!

The Haunted House is tomorrow, and we've yet to finish decorating all of it. So...more tonight, even though we'd been hoping to have today off. Oh well.

Another post to First Steps. I've decided I want to finish posting this fic before posting other works, so, after this, expect a sudden spurt of Final Fantasy fics. I might add the sequel to Happy Birthday, Get Well Soon, though, so that might crop up in the middle of the Aurikku/one FF7 fic avalanche.

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, and the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters."

It's an oral history. It was passed down, word-of-mouth, father to son, from Adam to Seth, from Seth to Enos, from Enos to Cainan, for 40 generations, a growing, changing, story, it was handed down, word-of-mouth, father to son. Until Moses finally gets it down on lambskin. But lambskins wear out, and need to be recopied. Copies of copies of copies of copies of copies of copies of copies of an oral history passed down through 40 generations.
From Hebrew it's translated into Arabic, from Arabic to Latin, from Latin to Greek, from Greek to Russian, from Russian to German, from German to an old form of English that you could not read. Through 400 years of evolution of the English language to the book we have today, which is: a translation of a translation of a translation of a translation of a translation of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of an oral history passed down through 40 generations.

You can't put a grocery list through that many translations, copies, and re-telling, and not expect to have some big changes in the dinner menu when the kids make it back from Kroger's.

And yet people are killing each other over this written word. Here's a tip: If you're killing someone in the name of God — you're missing the message. --Nick Annis in the preface to God is Good. (No, haven't read the book, am not particularly religious, but the last sentence caught my eye on Wikiquotes).

......You did? Good, your eyes/powers of observation are working then. Or else you never saw my journal while it was all mossy and centered. If you did see it when it was mossy and centered and still didn't see any changes until you read that sentence, you should probably go to the doctor and be concerned. Not necessarily in that order.

Washington's treating me well. In spite of the high winds that would probably make all the Chicagoans scoff at us weakling Washingtonians. I just hope Mother Nature doesn't try a repeat performance of last year/Jan-March. One demonstration every ten years is plenty enough, thank you.

Alright, alright. Fanfiction time! Hmmmm, which shall I choose? Final Fantasy looks neglected (*gasp* *feels ashamed for abandoning her second-most beloved fandom*)

I wish GJ hadn't brought down their icons to a mere 100; it was their key selling feature. I'm not an RPG-er, and I know I don't use my icons every single day, but... It was kind of like my "collection." Some people collect stamps, others comic books, etc. etc. Some people bought artwork because they loved the artwork. I collected icons, because they appealed to me artistically. I just hope they bring the icons back.

Anyway....To the fanfiction!

My fanfiction is baaaaack! Well, sort of. There's nothing new to this post; just my First Steps MK series. This journal will pretty much go back to being a fanfiction journal; if you want a RL update, go to my livejournal--I'm sure the link to it is somewhere.

My sister and I spent the day out today. First we went to IHOP, where their Harvest Grain & Nut pancakes defeated me yet again. At Borders she went for her cross-stitching stuff and I wandered to the DVD section, thinking that I might sell out to the devil and oogle the new-school Doctor Who series if they had it.

They didn't have it.

We went to Suncoast thereafter, in which I greedily snatched up the Serenity Collector's edition (!Jayne! Yay!) and I went ahead and bought the Buffy movie, because I was interested in having it. And I thought I'd go over and see if Suncoast had the Dr. Who DVDs, since, y'know...movie/television DVD store.......

They didn't have it either.

We drove over to the Lacey Walmart, and my sister bought some stuff while I went searching for the Dr. Who DVDs yet again, desperately.

And yet again, they didn't have it. Phooey.

Bought some good Korean food for take-out, went home, ate, had our mother send us out again to her friend's place to pick something up, and on our way back we swung by the Baskin Robbins, where I (re: my sister) got me a quart of some very delicioso Peanut Butter 'n' Chocolate. Yumyumyum. I probably would've gotten an ice cream shake but...I was too full from first the pancakes and then the Korean food barely 3 hours later.

We arrived back home, and I opened my Collector's Edition and ooh-ed and aah-ed over the very pretty box. They had a little flier inside advertising other merchandise like the blueprints and "official papers" to Serenity (the ship, for all you non-watchers out there) and posters of places in the Firefly/Serenity universe and Alliance currency. I'm very very pleased I waited to buy Serenity. I kinda/sorta/not-really wish I had waited on FF:Advent Children for the collector's edition, but....I love the one I have. It has sentimental value. ^.^

My sister's thinking about swinging over to Suncoast again tomorrow because they have a special Anime sale going on. I'll probably join her. Who knows what I'll come out of the store with? They said they'll have anime scrolls(posters) on sale 2 for $25. Eh, it all depends. I kinda like the t-shirt they have in the store which has a picture of Pocky and the word Addict written over it. Hehehehehehe.

I'm starting to think about what I need for University this year. I need a water filter pitcher because drinking the University water straight from the tap 100% ensures you will need a hospital visit within the week, if not the day, thanks to all the chlorine they put in it. And bottled water is not only heavy to carry when it's 35 bottles to a box, but also kinda inconvenient. But I need to know if the water pitcher will fit in the refrigerator I will (hopefully) rent out from the UW. Blaaaagh. I also need to be aware of how much space I'm going to have; I have a prediction in mind, so I'm going to try and keep the stuff I bring to what I believe I can fit in that prediction. Worse comes to worse, I'll give some stuff back to my sister to drive back home.

Again, RL update rather than fanfic update....You'll still have to wait until probably September for that....

May as well post today as two days from now. I doubt anything major is going to happen to rattle my world.

And Happy Birthday to Neville Longbottom, and a day early to dearest Harry (yes, I'm pathetic, I'm wishing fictional characters a happy birthday. =P)

WARNING: LENGTHY DESCRIPTION OF HARRY POTTER-MANIA DOWN BELOW. SKIP 2 PARAGRAPHS IF YOU ARE UTTERLY BORED BY IT BY NOW. There's nothing too spoilery, I don't think, except possibly for the final quote which is hidden behind an lj-cut, anyhow.

I picked up my copy of HPDH pretty much around opening time at B&N, and had to wait in an actual line, which kinda bamboozled me for a minute or two. I chatted with a woman in front of me who had swung by the B&N the night before for the midnight party, and saw that a line had wrapped around the abandoned building next door (the facade of which is pretty darned broad) by around 9-ish and chose to wait until the next day to buy it. This made me kinda glad I hadn't gone. Went and bought 2 slices of Godiva chocolate cheesecake (YUM!) and put up with my sister driving to first Borders (which had a whole separate line for Harry Potter, apparently, but at that early in the morning was completely empty [HA! take that, evil Borders which competes with my B&N!]), then to the mall across the way so she could go to Suncoast, and then to Burger King where she actually had breakfast, before we went home. I read the entire way up until a little after we left BK, at which point I started getting carsick and regrettably had to put the book down. I think I was at about chapter 4 or 5-ish. Then, upon arriving home at about 10-ish, I promptly secluded myself in my room and read, being interrupted only for unimportant things like dinner and such. I finished the book in about 7 hours. Heh.

I can't say that I'm totallycompletelyohmygodwowhowutterlythrillingandexciting about the book, but.....I can say that I'm content. Yes, I'm content. Things I felt pretty darned sure about came to be true, and some of my suspicions were verified, and a few other thoughts were debunked. I was horrified by a few of the deaths, and I didn't understand why a few of them died until today, when I read a transcript JKR had, in which she stated why 2 of the characters had died (that their deaths had been an exchange for the reprieve of one character earlier). I would sort of have preferred the 2 characters to live and the other to have died, but...I'm okay with it. I will let it rest. I had wished there would be more conclusions in the final book, but having read 2 transcripts with JKR today, I have a few of my questions answered (one of which no one seemed to have ever asked!) so I am ready now to accept book 7 as it is (and begin writing a HP fanfic or two...)

My family went to Westport yesterday, but Mom didn't get to have fresh crab--they were only selling tuna. Drive was okay, I didn't have to do it so I was fine with it. My sister parked in all sorts of weird places, but whatever. We wandered up and down the boardwalk (or whatever it's called), checked out a few gift shops, lamented not getting fresh crab, and ate at the Half Moon Bay Restaurant (I think? It might just be Half Moon Restaurant or something). It was okay, but I think the next time we go we should eat elsewhere. $30 house specials....sheesh. My sister bought a bit of fudge and chocolates, and my mother a hat so her hair didn't fly all over the place, and I took a few pictures. Nothing too terribly exciting, though Mom has expressed the interest to go on a boat out to sea and watch the fishing.

After we got back from Westport, I decided I wanted ice cream, so I went out to Mega Foods (which, I discovered, is selling HP books. I don't know why this disturbs me more than knowing Fred Meyers does it, but...yeah. It's just weird to think my friendly, neighborhood grocery store sells HP), I bought my mother cantalopes (which she seems to be addicted to) before heading to Baskin Robbins (yay-ness!). Bought my mother 2 quarts of Cookes n' Cream and myself a 1/2 gallon of Nutty Coconut. Yumminess.

My mother watches this Korean variety show where they showcase people doing really, extremely strange/extraordinary things. One of their features was a young woman who very very literally puts superfluous amounts of sugar on everything. She and a friend were at an ice cream shop (a BASKIN ROBBINS ice cream shop, no less, heh), she got a big bowl of some ice cream (couldn't tell the flavor; the ice cream was completely green, though), pulled out a pint-sized container full to the brim with sugar, and began spooning sugar all over her ice cream. When she made one layer of sugar disappear, she spooned even more on her ice cream and ate away. My teeth hurt just watching it. There was also another segment showing a man who (with his wife/girlfriend) went around fields collecting bees/yellow jackets in a little cup with a lid and, using tweezers, stung himself with the bees, all because he liked the pain. *shakes head*

My mother bought the entire series of Dae Jang Geum. All 54 hours' worth. And no, this is not the "approx. 44 minutes" or whatnot kinda hour. This is a solid 1 Volume, 6 discs, 18 episodes, Approx. running time 18 hours with 3 volumes completing the series kinda 54 hours worth.

I'm now seriously considering doing the summer creative writing course in Rome in Summer '08. I would have to take out a(nother) loan to pay for it, but I kinda think if I put aside enough money to pay for the class and put the rest of it in a CD, the money in the CD will accrue some interest so that when I pay the loan back, it might be possible for me to pay that loan back before I'm 30 (which is not the same case as the other student loans I have). If I have enough money, I might even be able to buy Mom a bigger new TV, and the new TV we already have can go to my sister (that is, if she doesn't come up with some inane reason for not having it, like, "It's too big." In which case, I would happily take it off her hands). I don't know. It all depends on how much I take out, if I even decide to go. Life has gotten a bit complicated for me this last month, particularly in the university-arena.

I got some Korean newspapers/advertisements to translate for practice, but...none of my dictionaries are helping. And I can't type in Korean on my PC, so I can't use online dictionaries, and there are no Wireless hubs I trust around my neighborhood for me to use my laptop. *sigh* And on top of that, the Korean class I'm taking has now peaked at an enrollment of 27 students in a class which was only to be about 20 and in a room with a capacity of 25, and I'm still unable to enroll in it. I'm just glad I have an add-code, though now that I have thought about it I'm not entirely certain where that add-code is........Oh shit.......

I now have another thing to panic about. Must go now and calm myself with ice cream and well-written fanfiction.....

And, so as to avoid censure from those people who have yet to read the final installment, a Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows quote is hidden behind an lj-cut, with a bit of a minor spoiler regarding a character (any more than that, and I may as well just leave it out in the open for all to read)

( Go Read HPDH if you haven't already! )

It's been a while since I updated on here. Unfortunately, I do not have access to my fanfiction on the computer from which I am writing this entry, so this is merely an entry on Life.

My family finally has a new TV to replace the old one that broke a few months back, and I have since returned to my dearest pasttime: Playing Final Fantasy video games. Specifically Final Fantasy XII, taken from the Collector's Edition and being played with the ever-helpful (and equally Special-Edition) Player's Guide. Hee.

The one bad thing, though, about playing with game guides: If you read ahead (and you kinda sometimes have to in order to best prepare for the Bosses to come) you get spoilers. *sigh*

I'm still debating with myself whether or not to get a DVD rack; I've currently placed my DVDs on a shelf in a bookcase, but....I've run out of room for my other books. And with HP7 coming out in 2 weeks (WOO!) I'm going to be even more hardpressed for space (because we all know how those damned hardback-covers are). But I also have to keep in mind how big it is, especially when I move up to campus in September and with all the stuff I'm bringing with me. I'd prefer something collapsible, but...how many of those do you ever see? It's tempting to buy one my sister got, which rolls underneath the bed, but there's only a limited number of DVDs it can hold. I was kinda looking for something bigger, so that not only could I put more DVDs in as I come across them, but I'd also have space for other stuff, too. Oh well.

Fandom: Mortal Kombat (based more around DOTR, but with input/characters from the games)


( First Fic Post of Many to Come )

Next to come will probably be a Final Fantasy fic. Odds are, it'll probably be FFX, but who knows.....

My first official entry on Greatestjournal as I slowly expand from Livejournal on the Internet. Woo.

First things first: I am ruled by my fandoms (and occasionally my melodrama as Life and University tries its best to ruin me), I love quotes, and I like my obscure, eccentric stuff that most of the people I hang out with are completely unaware of. And yes, I end my sentences with prepositions and begin them with 'and,' 'but,' and multiple other words I'm not supposed to. Say hello to an English, hopefully Creative Writing, major.

I am a fanfiction (maybe in the future a professional??) writer. Yes, I have an account on ff.net:

A good deal of the stuff posted here will probably be fanfiction. If you want to know about my (boring, dull, unspectacular) RL, you will need to go to my LJ:

"It was a couple of days before Kate Schechter became aware of any of these things, or indeed of anything at all in the outside world.
She passed the time quietly in a world of her own in which she was surrounded as far as the eye could see with old cabin trunks full of past memories in which she rummaged with great curiosity, and sometimes bewilderment. Or, at least, about a tenth of the cabin trunks were full of vivid, and often painful or uncomfortable memories of her past life; the other nine-tenths were full of penguins, which surprised her. Insofar as she recognised at all that she was dreaming, she realised that she must be exploring her own subconscious mind. She had heard it said that humans are supposed only to use about a tenth of their brains, and that no one was very clear what the other nine-tenths were for, but she had certainly never heard it suggested that they were used for storing penguins." --The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul, by Douglas Adams
