But then I realized that it would get me in trouble at church.

( Who'd you vote for and why? )

( Also, the ultimate shitfest is brewing in my house. )

Kooala's b-day party on Thursday was very fun. The Masq was pretty awesome. I made my first attempt ever to pick up a hot guy. It failed, but that's OK. It's a life experience, and I'm freaking proud that I even tried. :D

I finished Eclipse earlier this week. Bella is probably the most annoying main character EVAR. And the books are in first person, so you constantly have to listen to her whining and her stupid, sappy descriptions of Edward. I think the only reason I was able to read all of it was because of ontd_twatlight. They bring some serious lulz.

I finally put up the first chap on ff.net of a DMC fic I started. :/ Writing it was waaay harder than I thought it would be. It's not nearly as straightforward and logical as writing an essay for school. I definitely respect good authors a million times more now, and hopefully I'll gain some experience from it.

I must remember to update more and stop spending all my time lurking on these communities. XD

Bonfire tonight. :D Church tomorrow. :x

Btw, what tags do you use for usernames? I've never been able to figure that out. ^^;;;

mood: bouncy

I totally fucking disappeared, and for that I must beg for forgiveness. ;_;

How has this semester been for everyone? (God luck w/ finals if you're not quite finished yet.) Who is still fangirling Bleach? Has anything come out that is as awesome as Tengen Toppa? (I need to fangirl over that with you Nicole OMFG!) What's happenin'? Ask me anything, and I will tell all. I apologize ahead of time if I give stupid answers.

As for me, I'm currently beingdazzled by Twilight right now. I've only read the opening chapters from the books, but it's written like teenage fanfic (I wish I were kidding, but yes, it is that bad XD), and that brings me so many lulz. And I love watching everyone go crazy over RPattz. I think I'll finally get my hands on the first book in a couple of days, so I'll definitely talk about that.

By the way, would anyone want to read the books with me or have any of you guys already read them??? So we can dazzle everyone together? :D

P.S. I'm sorry, but I had to use the glitter text. It's so wonderful. XD

mood: hungry

Is the day of Dethklok. 8D

Is anyone else going?

mood: excited

So, not only did I piss off my physics professor today, I also pissed off one of the members of my group project.

Why is it that whenever I actually try to do things right at this school and put more effort in, someone either gets pissed or disappointed?

I'm sorry you people at Agnes, but I don't care about proving how smart I am. I want to have fun, learn how to make friends, and be happy. Why? Because one day, I'm going to die, and I can't take my diploma with me. Being stressed out of your mind is not the way to live out your life. I don't care if people run around talking about what a great school I go to. I want to take classes that I like so that I don't have to kiss anyone's ass or feel bad after I've done my best. I'm tired of caring about what people think about me. All it does is make me depressed.

On a better note, I really enjoyed hanging out with you Japanese people. Sushi Avenue was great. And thanks for cheering me up. And for the cake! :D I probably would have hid in the bathroom if you guys weren't so nice and awesome.

mood: sad

I want school to end. NOW. IMMEDIATELY. And I refuse to take any exams after my birthday, so I have a shitload of studying to do.

And I think the stress has finally driven me over the edge. Yesterday, my dad told me to go pick up the trash in the study room upstairs. He said that I could just bring it down in between commercial breaks (I was watching a House re-run), but instead I ended up forgetting and doing something else. That wasn't bad ('cause I do that all the time), but the fact that when my dad came upstairs to remind me about it, I COULD NOT REMEMBER WHAT I WAS DISTRACTED BY. I couldn't remember how the hell I was sitting in my chair watching TV while the trash bag was laying on the other side of the room.

So, I think my brain is officially fucked.

Good news: I finally got a DeviantArt account and I just finished going over the details on the Viera pic. So I will put that up tonight. Unless I forget that I even drew it in the first place. *sighs*

Aside: What the hell is this adult content button? Does it mean that I need to block all most of my entries because of my repetitive usage of the word "fuck"?

I know this month is the whole NanoWrimo thing where you write a 50,000 word novel. I wanted to do it, but school is currnetly kicking my ass. So I decided I'd try something after the semester ended.

WRONG.

Unfortunately, I read this story for FFXII by Faerlyte on ff.net. It is AMAZINGLY GOOD. But guess what the pairing is?

Seriously. Guess. I'm not kidding.

...

It's freaking Baschelo. No, I'm not joking. By all means and purposes, I shouldn't have even tried to read it. But I did. AND IT IS MADE OF WIN. So now, I'm obsessed, because a really good fanfic will make me obsessed. So all these ideas have popped up in my brain over the past two weeks, and I couldn't hold them off any longer lest my skull exploded from overload of Baschelo mush. So I started writing a fic today, thinking that I could do something short and cute.

WRONG AGAIN.

For some reason I can't seem to make it stop. I can't think of how to write something that I can tie up quickly in a little pink, happy bow. And even more frustrating is that I suck at writing. Sure, my grammar is good, but that doesn't make it good writing, you know? It doesn't make it engrossing and entertaining, and it doesn't keep characters IC.

I'm probably going to be up all night in a fangirl craze trying to finish the first chapter. Then I'll send it (after I've re-read it 10 times and cried in agony) to you guys to beta after you promise not to laugh at me. *looks over at Nicole and Laurel* Please?

mood: crazy

FINALLY! OMGZZZ!! Kenpachi is gonna kick everyone's ass!!

My love of Bleach has been renewed. :D

Ok. So Saturday, I came into possession of Open Canvas. OMFG!!!!! I went crazy with extreme joy!!! The internet rocks.

Today has been weird. And slightly creepy. First off, I didn't sleep very much at all last night (bed at 4 am and alarm at 7), but for some reason I'm not tired. I just feel as if my brain is in a tunnel of some sort.

But something weirder and slightly creepy happened 15 minutes ago. I was on my way home to eat lunch, do homework, wash clothes, and possibly take a nap. On the way, this car started riding my ass. I didn't really care though, because I've tamed most of my road-rage, so I just sped up a little bit. No big deal. Then this car got in the lane next to mine and matched my speed, so I started thinking this was some angry person who wanted to glare me down or flick me off or something. Still, I shrugged it off.

At the first stoplight on 78 though, this car got in the turn lane next to me and I noticed that the window was down. So now I'm a bit freaked out. I turned to look at this car, and guess who was staring at me (with a really kind of retarded look on his face, too)? Nathan, my old boyfriend who I have not seen in a year.

So on one hand, I was really proud to realize that I'm now stable and content enough not to be angsty or something like that from seeing him. I actually was pretty glad to see he's doing well. But on the other hand, was it really necessary to stalk my car on the road (and he started doing that before I even passed the Hugh Howell exit)??? I mean, I know people want to say hi and stuff to people that they know when they see them on the road, but aren't you just supposed to do that at stoplights??? I told my brother, and he says that's definitely kinda creepy.

At least my day has already been at bit interesting. *shrugs*

I am tired. I am now sick. I want to sleep, sleep, go dancing at 80's night, and then go sleep some more. Apparently, Wednesday afternoon/evening is the beginning of Fall Break (for me anyway), so for once in my life I actually feel as if I'm receiving some sort of divine intervention. (My running into Ashley randomly yesterday and her happening to have I book that I needed is even more proof.)

By the way, when will your party start, Nicole? I wanna hang out for the max amount of time. :D

I'm tired like crazy, and I fully believe that school is going to drive me insane soon. Especially when it comes to my group project. DDDDX

But Japan Fest is this weekend, so YAY!!! I really want to get a kimono. So pretty!

And I've noticed that most of the entries on my friend's page come from the DouWata and KuroFai comms. XD That's OK. More fangirling for me then.

Yeah, yeah, I'm lame, whatever. But today is turning out to be really good! Ashley's taking classes at Agnes!! Yaaaaay!! :DDD

I always like it when I wake up and get to school and have that feeling that something nice will happen. I've been right about the last 2 days, and I'm hoping tomorrow will be another one.

The part that I can't wait for is when I feel like most days are nice. When that happens, I think I'll be able to honestly say that my angst-ridden days of insecure adolescence are over.

Now all I need is some awesome yaoi, and my week will be purrrrrfect. :333

mood: optimistic

I can actually use the wireless at school now!! *squees on the inside*

So, I think that I'll go to the Swing-dancing thing at GT on Friday, and then go to AWA on Saturday. I must have my man-pr0n. >.> I need oodles of yaoi, and I think I'll do that whole spanking thing this year too. XD

I hope I don't get burned out this week like I did last week though.

mood: chipper tags: awa, school

Kurogane cut off his own arm!!!! OMGZ! Why must CLAMP insist that characters lose body parts??!! DDX

On the other hand, my inner fangirl is about to weep in uncontrollable joy. (I'm not even kidding. I started to tear up in a mixture of sadness and celebration. XD) As far as I'm concerned, KuroFai is now officially canon. :33333

tags: kurofai love

It could have been better. I'm already stressing, so I'm gonna do as much homework as I can so next week won't be so bad.

Oh! And I just read the RAWs for Bleach and Tsubasa. Poor Fai and Ashura! And last week's Holic was depressing beyond all reason. Watanuki doesn't deserve something like that to happen. So, I guess Doumeki has to comfort him!!!! *lets out a fangirl cry of joy*

And I think Ichigo is officially a pimp master now. XD I mean, GEEZUS!!! How many chicks are gonna get all worked up over him??? I can't blame any of the Bleach ladies, though, 'cause I'd try to jump him too. :333

mood: cheerful

Hey Merry! This is a link I found for embroidering shisha mirrors. The pictures are really big, so I think it's helpful. Here! *runs off to try it out for myself*

So, I was surfing around for Bleach fics, and I found these crazy, mad awesome one-shots. They were so awesome that I saved them on my computer in case I ever felt the need to burst out into fits of crazed laughter.

The first: Aizen's Diary (Recruiting Others Through Guile and Intelligence). HA!! Obviously has SS spoilers. Here.

The second: Terrible Pink Monster. 8D This is probably the absolute best representation of Orihime's weird cuteness ever!! She wants to end all the terrible shipping wars! XD The pink monster is here!

The third: Isshin Explains It All. If you get Isshin in character, of course the story will be awesome. XDDDD The last sentence is probably one of the craziest things I have ever read. *starts giggling* Isshin gives Ichigo The Talk here.

And now, for the last and most glorious one: Together By Fate. This is a bit of IchiIshi with some ambiguous Isshin/Ryuuken. I cried when I read this. Isshin is AMAZING! 8D I want to be like him when I have children!!! The awesomeness is here.

Last night was AWESOME. I went to the Masquerade for 80's night once again, but this time, Kevin made me catch his mad-crazy dancing fever. It was great! We jumped up on this platform on the stage and started syncronizing random stuff. People in the crowd were looking at us like, "Whoa!", and one of my friends, Kim, was looking at me like she never knew I was that much of a dancing fanatic. XD It was great. Chad and Dena were drunk and dancing like crazy too.

I think the best things about dancing at the Masq are that no one really cares whether or not you can dance, and random drunk guys don't come up and try to hump you like they would at one of those huge clubs. *cringes*

So, I'm definitely planning on going next week. If anyone wants to come, call me!

And I've started the fic, but I hit a block yesterday. ;_; I freak out too much over how to say things the right way.

mood: sore

I had to spend most of the day at church. I swear, next year I will have some kind of previous engagement or possibly self-induced illness so that I won't have to do this again.

On the other hand....

I NOW OWN KOTOR 2!!!! *does the Star Wars gangsta rap dance*

I tried to find some IchiZan on ff.net and here on LJ, but I had no luck (or at least, nothing that seemed very... slash-y :333). Which means that my brain went into overdrive and is already planning to do an IchiZan oneshot. So basically, my first fanfic will be weird, semi-creepy but very hot slash. It's fun how life works out sometimes. Oh yes... :33333

I would be honored if you would be my beta, Nico-tan! :D

I will try to sleep now and get to typing in the morning.

mood: chipper

So I finished watching Death Note today. O_o Kaetre called me and told me that he cried like a little girl when he saw the last episode, so I decided to watch too. I could only sit there in shock. Part of me felt sorry for him, but another part of me wanted to laugh maniacally. So, I still don't really know what to think right now. O_O

And now, to the purpose of this update. My brother, Cory, is currently taking summer classes online, and apparently he has a 3-5 page research paper due tomorrow in Language Arts. The teacher decided that they needed to peer edit, so a guy that Cory knows from Parkview sent him his paper.

My brother ran downstairs and found me. "Erica, I have an awesomely terrible research paper for you to read!"

I, of course, got excited. "Really!!? I haven't read anything like that in a few years!"

We both run upstairs, and my brother sits down to watch me as I read it.

OMG. I laughed until I cried. XDDDDD It's 3 paragraphs long, and my brother marked in parenthesis what was wrong (though he admitted after I read it that he's just gonna tell the guy to rewrite the whole thing). I hope someone enjoys this as much as we did! XD

( The research paper on the Civil Rights Movement )

And I'm definitely going to see Harry Potter tonight! Call me if you want to meet up somewhere to see it! :3
