feeling: blah
listening to: some Japanese movie on AZN, formerly the International Channel


Just in case anyone cares to see just what a trashhole my room really is at the moment...

Here is a photo tour of what I have to clean up top to bottom, almost to the point of emptying, so dad can repaint. Pardon the quality of most of these images... they were taken at like 2:30 am and I was too tired to care about messing with digicam settings.


Here's the view from just outside the doorway. Note the use of remnants and rugs instead of actual carpet (what you can't see is bare plywood) and the butchered bedsheets trying to pass off as curtains. That black thing under the window is my still-packed suitcase from Ohayocon. Which was in January.


Far corner, left of the window from the doorway. Next to the stereo system is a large pile of CDs and cassettes, and the white box next to that contains VHS tapes; more CD cases and tapes, mostly my BLOOD stuff, are on top of the DVD player (and yes, that's my hide plushie up there). Behind the TV is an antique rollaway desk absolutely buried in junk I neither want nor need anymore, so my goal is to get rid of it for space. This corner was even worse until a few days ago when I put all my DVDs and some tapes in that little white shelf unit. And yes, that lone poster is Midgar in all its glory. Got that one free when an eBay seller screwed up one of my orders for FF7 goodies.


Opposite corner, still viewing from the doorway. Random piles of stuff on the floor, drywall mud all over the walls, completely unkempt waterbed with a pile of clothes on it waiting to be hung in the closet (I move that pile to my computer chair when I'm ready to go to bed >>)... and that top pillowcase is a kiddie fishy pattern because it was the only one clean when it needed changed. >.> There's an expendable little white end table buried in old junk hiding between the bed and the computer desk there; that's where I want to put the recliner if I can manage enough shuffling. Note big boy Zeus behind the pillow *huggles him* with little orange tiger Nanaki and little white lion Issa between his forepaws, as well as my little Smokie on top of the clothing pile. And yes, those are four water jugs under my floppy giant bear, and an aquarium siphon coiled around his hat... and fear the nifty ocelot throw pillow behind him. Also, yep, that's another FF7 poster... came with the Midgar one. Oh, and that prettyful gift bag was given to me by my kitty last July. It has sat in various spots throughout the room; it's so pretty I can't bring myself to stash it anywhere out of sight. ^^;


Taken from right in front of the windows, facing the doorway. Nasty greasy smudges all over the wall above my computer desk on the left. >_< The shelves on the right contain all my beanie critterbobs, and below them are the best of my plushie collection (not counting the ones on the bed). My broken printer sits in front of the closet door. Also note the bookshelf - all but the top surface and bottom shelf are nice and orderly now, whereas a week ago they were a mess too. And that pile of books on the floor is all of my manga, waiting to be moved to the bottom shelf, which still needs to be cleaned out. And yes, my calendar is weird.


Computer desk corner. Noooow you see that insane bottom shelf. >.> Still a couple stacks of books and manga there waiting to be shelved too. And behind that bookshelf in the corner is a little white end table which is almost completely cleared off now; soon as it's done I'm getting rid of it. No spare surface space on the computer desk either. Note also the to fish tanks (they look all bare since the java moss died ><)... I may move one of those to the top of the bookshelf instead of getting a third tank. Dunno. Also notice the back view of my spiffy tiger lamp. :P I don't care how tacky that thing is, I love it.



The "plushie corner." That blue plastic tub is still empty; I've filled one, along with three smaller ones, and moved them to another room (except the one still sitting there beside it). Old random stuff ALL OVER the dresser. I would move the bookshelf into this corner, but it would block the register... would put a new fish tank there but the air from the register would mess with the water temps... the recliner would fit well here, but it'd be pointless unless I put a floor lamp there for reading light.


And for kicks, here's the light fixture, complete with the BEETLE PLAGUE OF DOOM. Well, a fraction of it. I just emptied the bug corpses out of that light cover, like, two days ago.

And there you have it. Now I'm going to go eat a cookie and vegetate some more.

...And dude, Blogger doesn't have an option to preview posts anymore... ><

feeling: warm and drowsy
listening to: Utena - Gakuen no Scarlet (Scarlet of the Campus)


Welcome back, comments link. >.> Wonder if the Subprofile site is fixed too... it was down while Enetation was. The first time in like 5 months I want to add something to my Subprofile and the site goes down... *mutter*

Anyway, I know there was something I came here to blog about, but it has completely vanished from my mind. So instead, since talk of dreams has been rampant recently, I figured I'd post a couple of mine from today. They weren't scary, but they were plenty weird. >>

First, during the night I had a dream Jess turned into a baby so I could carry her around and coddle her. O.o Like, tiny tiny baby... only a head thereof at certain moments... X.x Anyway, bunch of other stuff happened throughout the thing of course... people constantly asking me if I'd changed her diaper yet (though she slept in my arms most of the time), conversations with her real life mother about what a sweet baby she was, trying to protect her from a gang of evil not-quite-human people... random weirdness. But what stood out the most to me was how sweet and smiley and adoring of me she was throughout the thing.

Had another weird one (or series of them) during my afternoon nap, but most of the details I've forgotten already. And I should first point out that for some weird reason my catnap dreams almost always feel very real, usually taking place in my own home (especially my room) with every detail matching reality, and even occurring in real time more often than not... while the ones I have at night are far more... out there. Not sure why... maybe cause with the catnaps I never fully achieve deep sleep so I'm still all connected to the waking world... but anyway. All I remember about this one now was that my brother came over with my nephew after having just purchased (I guess) a very nice new pickup truck. But I don't remember much happening within that actual storyline, because, just like in real life, I was in my room trying to nap the entire time. Occasionally looked out the window at the truck, heard their voices downstairs, checked for new amusements on the computer (saw Calla sign on somewhere around 5:00, dream-time and real-time... O.o), etc... that's about it... until the end when my brother came up and said mom wanted him to tell me I should look outside, because the stars were out and they looked awesome. I gave him a confused look as he turned to leave, as it wasn't even 6 pm and was thus till daylight... but I went to the window to look, and sure enough everything did look pretty much daylight... until I looked fully overhead toward the pinnacle of the heavens. Pitch black, illuminated by the most brilliant universe of stars I'd ever seen. So I stood there gaping with my jaw hanging open for a minute, partially from the day/night contrast, partially from the sheer beauty of the stars... then I grabbed my digital camera to try to take pictures of both extremes. I focused first on my brother's new truck for the daylight shot, then ran downstairs to step outside so I could aim the camera straight up for the night sky shot... but dad stopped me to tell me to feed the dog while I was outside. Then my brother stopped me to ask if I had any lined paper I could give him. >.> So I ran back to my room to find some, but found that I'd run out. And that's about all there was before I woke up for good...

Yeeeeeah, special.

In other news, I have Fig Newtons. :D

feeling: restless
listening to: Dir en Grey - Obscure


Well, the mission is complete. My part of it is, anyway. The rest is up to the postal service... and I'm not sure if that's a positive thing or not... >.<

My throat is being slightly weird tonight. Better not be catching a cold. I have to sing tomorrow and Sunday. >_> Though on the other hand, that would give me a lovely excuse to stay home and vegetate like I'd normally do at those times...

Hmm... my bookshelf is now 2/3 re-stocked. Looking much better now. Just need to get rid of a bunch of 10-15 year old junk on the bottom shelf and make room for my manga and whatever else will fit there. Then clear the random knicknacks and toy thingies off the top surface to make room for tank #3. And yeah, this bookshelf makeover really makes little to no difference in the overall room-cleaning task I'm facing here. But it still counts as cleaning. >>

I suppose it would be ideal if I could get all this cleaning done by next weekend though... since I'll be spending that weekend with Calla again, which would give dad a full 2 days to work in here and get everything plastered and painted and ready to be lived in again without my choking on fresh paint fumes. Though I know those will still be there for a few days after it's done, but... yeah.

Anyway... somehow in the course of bookshelf rearranging, I ended up going through my senior yearbook this evening for the first time in a few years. And like, dude. I HAVE lost weight. x.x But then again, if I had to sit next to the kind of people I had to sit beside then for a new batch of pictures now, I'd still look huge in comparison... bunch of toothpicks... but anyway, yeah. Wow.

And that little walk down memory lane reminded me that this is the fifth year since I graduated from that hell hole. Which means this should be my first reunion year. Not that I'll be going. >.> Vast majority of the faces in that crowd I couldn't care less if I never see again. Well, except maybe for any reunions after the 10th year so I can take sadistic amusement in the fact that they'll all look 30 years older than me by then. Always fun to see what age does to people who dedicated every ounce of their energy and money and time in their youthful years to making themselves attractive. A lot of them are probably already in the early stages of sagging and wrinkling and stretch marks and massive freckles and beer bellies. Whereas to be honest I look better now than I probably ever have in my life. Not that that's saying much, but still... HA. :P

Anyway, vain moment over... >> <<

Actually, blog moment over too... ran out of random babble...

feeling: drowsy
listening to: BLOOD - Sakura


My mission is proceeding... >> << Now all I have to do is go to town to make sure I'm not paying shipping for online orders of things I could just pick up right around here. Very very very low chance of that though, because my town sucks... so I might as well just order online... ideally before the weekend...

Speaking of online ordering, I'm seriously thinking of buying some stuff from Lamoon. Their soaps look like fudge. o.o Few of them smell pretty dessert-y too, I understand...

Oh, and I actually found Feeding Frenzy. Looked all over Bit Torrent and Soulseek and pretty much every other download program I knew hunting that thing down, then one search on Limewire, which I just recently got, yielded dozens of results. Of course. >.> So heh... got it last night. Beat it last night too. <.< Evil eyeball-burning game. Now if I could just find the full version Mahjong Garden there... *knows it ain't gonna happen*

I neeeeeeeeed to clean my room. But I don't wanna. It's hard. >_< But I want these ugly stained cracked grey-purple walls repainted and actual blinds on my windows to keep that blasted morning sunlight out... and if I can clear off my bookshelf I might be able to put another betta tank on it... one I can cycle... *.* AND if I can get rid of a couple little end table things and do enough shuffling, I can put a reclining chair in here... *tingles* Such a long way to go though. T_T Why haven't humans invented self-cleaning rooms yet?

And there is a wasp flying around in my room. The fook? X_x It's like FORTY DEGREES outside and WASPS are coming out??

*goes to slaughter it* Muuuuch better...

Hey, those things will be swarming in this room soon enough. They do every summer. I don't need them invading this early. >_< *hates stingy beasts*

listening to: Breathe - Hands to Heaven


THANK YOU ADION! >.>

I racked my brain for days trying to remember the name of that website with the diver game... all I remembered was that it was a really common word except with an S replacing one of the letters... and yeah... Orisinal. *slaps forehead* I KNEW THAT.

And yeah, because I don't trust this computer to actually stay alive much longer and would thus lose the link again soon enough if I just bookmarked it, I shall archive the link here to be preserved for eternity. Or as long as the internet survives. Or meh, as long as Blogger survives. Anyway, here. >.>

http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/

Might as well plug the site too since I'm linking it anyway. Orisinal has some of the simplest, most pointless, most addictive, CUTEST games I have ever seen. Soft, light, simple artwork and matching calm music are abundant. Good way to kill time on a boring rainy afternoon. Or night if you're a vampire like me. >> Check it out, says I.

Thanks again man. From helping me with homework in college to hooking me up with lost game links... you continue to prove proficient at saving my sanity. :P

Oh, and while I'm here, I've been wanting to test something...

listening to: Nightwish - Beauty of the Beast


I'm on a mission. >> <<

Need to get to Walmart/Kmart ASAP. *determined look* Or maybe Bavarian Toy Works... closest thing to a toy store we have in this town... but I don't know where it is >.>

Ooooh, maybe that Kingman's store would have something... doubtful, but they do have Gund stuff...

Wouldn't mind ordering online if need be, but the problem with that is I have to decide exactly which one I want. And that could take weeks. :p Plus I can't tell from the pictures on the site how they're actually made, and that's kinda important. Fmeh.

And la... I still need to pick up this room so dad can paint it... but I have nowhere to put the things I pick up. >_> There's no shelf or surface space left anywhere in here. Oh well. Think I need to procrastinate a little longer before actually doing anything, anyway. No desire to disrupt the sacred order of nature here. Besides, I put my loose DVDs away the other day... that should count for something. e.e

And can anyone remind me of the name of that site with all the insanely cute flash (shockwave?) games, like that Deep Sea Diver one or whatever it was called? I lost my bookmark and I can't remember that link for the life of me. ;_; I'm still looking for some kind of download (preferably Torrent) for the full version of Feeding Frenzy too... blasted addictive game.

listening to: Fushigi Yuugi - Itoshii Hito no Tame ni (For the One I Love)


I finished all but the background of that oekaki I mentioned in my last post... but I'm not gonna be able to submit it. File's too big. Which ticks me off. I spent 4 days on this thing and can't even post it now. *growl* At least I saved a screenshot so I can add a background later in Photoshop if I so desire... but I doubt I will now. Whole reason I drew this at the oekaki board instead of in Photoshop was to enter it in a contest, which I can't do if I can't post the thing on the board. Bleh, such is life. I uploaded the screenshot if anyone wants to check it out. Pardon the choppy lines and blobby coloring... oekaki is a somewhat primitive tool. >.> And for reference, here is the creature he's based upon. He's my Demi, Thaeus. Inn'e cute?

In more grave news... I have just learned that Ben & Jerry's has discontinued my favorite ice cream flavor. I light a candle for thee, One Sweet Whirled.

Actually, better idea. I campaign to bring you back to liiiiiiife! :O *cough* Ahem... yes. If you are intrigued by the idea of coffee and caramel ice creams blended together with swirls of gooey caramel and ooshy marshmallow complete with bits of sweet sweet fudge, all in one handy pint size container... go to this handy dandy Resurrect My Favorite Flavor online form, select One Sweet Whirled, and SAVE THE YUMMY!!!

*ahem* And after you do that, cast a vote for Honey Vanilla too. And Cappuccino Chocolate Chunk. And Chocolate Raspberry Truffle. And Lemon Blueberry Cobbler. And Mint with Oreo Cookie. And Peppermint Schtick. And Toffee Cookie Crunch. And... heck, anything with mint, peppermint, toffee, coffee, mocha, or honey. And pretty much anything else that takes your fancy.

YES, I'm obsessed with Ben & Jerry's. >.> <.<

On a final note, I never went to bed last night. Well ok... I did, but I laid there wide awake for a couple hours and it just wasn't working, so I gave up and stayed up the rest of the morning. Funny, during those few hours I think I felt more awake and weirdly peppy than I ever have in my life without the aid of caffeine... then two hours later when I tried to read a book to keep busy I instantly conked out. :P Gotta love sleep deprivation.

Anyway, so earlier tonight I decided I should get the Fushigi Yuugi opening song cause it likes to get stuck in my head. And for some reason I decided to go to Animelyrics and find the lyrics for it first. So I opened a Mozilla window.

And stared at it.

And stared at it some more.

And had NO idea what I'd opened it for.

Finally, a couple minutes later, I remembered, found the lyrics, and closed the window. Then I opened Limewire to search for the song.

And stared at it...

...you get the picture. >.>

So yeeeeah, it took several more minutes than it should have to get from point A to point B there. I'm amusing when I'm sleepy.

listening to: Queen - Who Wants to Live Forever


Hm... random pointless wakefulness blog... what to rant about...

Burning a candle in my room this evening, because the weird warmth of today brought more hoards of those stupid ladybug-looking beetle things into my room. I swear, this is their year-round breeding AND dying ground. Anyway... when they get as piled up as they are in here now, thousands dead, thousands alive... these bugs stink. They ooze some nasty smelling yellow juice when they're threatened, and I suppose when they die. Hence the candle. Weird... I like candles, but I only burn them in here once or twice a year, or on some other rare probability ratio along those lines. I'm not sure if that sentence made sense or not, but oh well. Point is my room smells like some sort of very sweet purple berry thing now. Don't ask me why I don't burn my chocolate candle instead... I don't know.

I wish I weren't so lazy, of I'd get a vacuum in here and suck all these nasty little beasts into filthy dusty oblivion. I suppose I'll get my chance for that soon, because my parents have finally purchased drywall mud and River Mist paint, and have been prodding me for days to start cleaning my room so I can get it repainted. Also get actual blinds on the windows as opposed to the cut bedsheets that are there now after the painting's done. And dad wants to lay carpet in here too, but that would require draining and moving my waterbed and then refilling it and moving me downstairs to sleep in the recliner for a couple nights until it warms up after being rebuilt and refilled... and we just went though that late last year sometime... soooo I don't see it happening. Oh well. Remnants and rugs cover the important parts of the floor, and that'll suffice.

Also started an oekaki tonight at Subeta. Tried one there a couple weeks ago, but Mozilla died and ate it... before that, it had been literally years since my last oekaki attempt. It's like a Java version of Photoshop, with more primitive tools and only 2 layers to work with. I love the thing I'm working on now though. Will destroy things if my computer eats it before it's done again.

More random topics... found out over the past week that I've gotten over the deepest of my old scars again. This is only about the fourth or fifth time. Something like that. And it ended on a good note this time, so no worries. I'm good there.

Though, it did finally dawn on me that there's pretty much no chance in hell or heaven that I'll ever achieve true complete happiness. But then, who ever does? So oh well. I've been happier over the past year than I ever was before, so it's not like I'm actively missing anything at the moment... so that'll hold me over. Be a different story if I'd found it and then lost it, but if you're yet to find, you're yet to lose. Right?

Pathetic thing, though, is that I've never really seriously lost, either. So why should I complain?

Don't you love optomistic pessimism?

I don't really know why I'm not tired right now. Almost 5 am and I'm running on 3 or 4 hours of sleep at the moment, and feeling physically fine. Makes no sense. My brain is nonfunctional, of course... pretty obvious by looking at this entire post... but I'm not tired.

Suppose I'll get back to working on my oekaki until I can't see the screen anymore.

feeling: nostalgic
listening to: X Japan - Silent Jealousy


LOL!

Found out this evening at the tail end of an amusing chain of discoveries that Ohio State will be holding its own, very first anime convention this spring. To be called Anime Punch, to be held on Saturday, April 30 in the Ohio Union. Gonna have their own cosplay event and everything. Oooooo. >.> And it amuses the crap out of me that, on the info page of this "convention," they give information for the nearest hotel AND directions on how to get there from the airport. Yeeeeeah, I'm sure people will be flying in from all over the country to witness this. *snort* Come on, it's ONE DAY. And the total attendance probably won't top 100, if even 70 or 80.

But you know what? I'm tempted to go there just to have an excuse to go to Mirror Lake Cafe again and buy their brownies. 9_9 They had the BEST brownies, dangit. 5 or 6 different kinds in any given day, always fresh, cut large, very rich, some with lots of fluffy frosting lathered on... *drool*

And the best part is, it'd also be an excuse to go back to the Marketplace for a meal and frozen coffee. *_* AND Bento Go Go is right across the street from the Union. *____* Not to mention the Union food court actually has some good restaurants... *meltdown*

Yes... if I went to this thing I'd be too busy running back and forth between my former food service mistresses to have any idea what's going on at the con. >.> <.< Though, since it's a Saturday, Mirror Lake won't open until 2:30 and they won't have any good entrees like on weekdays... but that's cool, as long as they have brownies. And I don't even know what the Marketplace's weekend hours are... >< But ahem... yes, it is very tempting.

It's sad when you want to go back to college again just for the FOOD. T_T Mirror Lake subs and entrees and brownies... anything and everything Marketplace... Belgian waffles and chili cheese fries and good ice cream (Hershey's as opposed to soft serve) and sundae fixin's at the commons...

Now I'm all nostalgic. T_T I need to find a restaurant or something around here that has Belgian waffles... and I highly doubt there's any good frozen coffee to be found in this sad little town, other than the Moolattes at Dairy Queen... *sigh*

I'm hungry...

Anyway, here's a random thingy.

feeling: tired but amused
listening to: BLOOD - Tanmei (Short Life)


Been in one of those moods where I've wanted to post SOMEthing SOMEwhere but have no idea what or which journal to put it in. But I'm boycotting LJ at the moment because it's worthless since it was bought out, and random nonsensical whatever-type rantage doesn't really fit in any of the other 6, so here we are. Prepare for lots of random nothingness that gives new meaning to this blog's title.

So did I mention we had a power outage Friday? Yeah, about 7 hours' worth. Absolutely no clue why either, to this day. And what really ticked me off was that Dumplin' was supposed to come over and join me in a Fushigi Yuugi marathon that day but it's hard to watch anime without electricity... and by the time it came back, we'd already decided to go ahead and cancel. *growls at AEP* We needed that marathon, man.

Sunday was... special. After 2 weeks' break from the evils of waking up at the crack of dawn for church, I returned to the old routine and went to church on about 2 hours of sleep. And couldn't spend it hiding in a back room catnapping either, cause I was dragged into helping put on a puppet show for the nursery kids. Had no idea they were planning that... but since I was always kinda the best puppet operator in the church, they refuse to put on a puppet show without me, even if it's for tiny rugrats who couldn't care less how accurate the mouth movements or head level might be... so yeah... there went my naptime. >.> Oh well... got to talk with Jess again too, which is always nice and nostalgic. I do miss that little sprite.

And Sunday evening was... entertaining. Very. The big exclusive BLOOD interview on the PA radio show Bad Transitions aired. And while the interview was entertaining (though it lacked Kaede >_< *bites Kiwamu on the nose*), the DJs were what really made the show a riot. The main one, Roger, has serious potential to earn his own fangirl following. >.> <.< And one of the best parts of the night was when my Dumplin' called in and won a signed BLOOD photoset followed by me calling in and won a signed BLOOD T-shirt, and the reaction of the DJ when I told him my name and hometown. Something like "Wait, are you from the same household as the girl who won the photoset earlier? O.o" Then he was all amused and "ooooh cool :D" when I told him that was my cousin... lol *pets the Roger* And the other great part was when he tried to say Chillicothe on the air and couldn't do it for the life of him... "second photoset went out to Erin of... Shi... Ch... Schla... er, somewhere in Ohio..." XD *easily amused*

Though, because I'm special, I kinda felt bad for winning the shirt. I'd actually hoped to win one of the 5 (or 4? forget already >.o) signed photosets, so I could give them to someone who deserves them since I already have pretty much all of BLOOD's 3rd period photosets... already have their autographs a couple times too, so that didn't matter as much to me. But then I ended up getting the shirt, and while I'm already spoiled rotten with BLOOD goodies, including a few quite exclusive thingies... much as I'd like to gift it, a signed shirt seems a lot harder to part with than a signed photoset, for some reason. >.>;; So dunno... guess I'll wait and see which shirt it is and how they signed it, or something... probably be the red one with the butterfly... *can predict Kiwamu by now >>*

And it's really windy outside. The house keeps shaking. O.o C'mooooon final winter storm... Dumplin' needs a snow day... *ahem*

Anyway, yes. Sunday evening was entertaining. Told my parents about my and Dumplin's victories and they were quite amused as well. Mom actually laughed. :P

And reading Adion's blog tonight made me start to consider the possibility of going to ACEN in May. >.> <.< The Pillows will be playing there... oooo... and I hear it's a pretty good sized con and such. Would be either one or two weekends after the BLOOD Mexico tour Kiwamu wants me to go to. No, I don't seriously think I'll be going to that... but I'm not ruling out the possibility. Yeeeeett. >< Not until I hear more details about any lives they might be doing in the US this year, anyway. But yeeeeah, since ACEN is good sized and they're getting The Pillows, who are kinda non-visual J-rock, there might be a pretty decent J-music appreciative crowd there... which could mean opportunity to repeat BLOOD cosplays. >> << Only problem is it's in Illinois, 6 hours away... better than 8 hours to Katsucon I guess, and in a better season, but still kinda grueling...

La la, what else...

*mind blanks*

...I think that means I'm done ranting now. Slightly tired as well, so I suppose bed will be soon...
