Haven't been feeling well so I've been MIA-ish except for tumblr. I've been watching FMA: Brotherhood and staring at walls with my cats. Feeling a little better today, which is good since I'm working all weekend + Monday. We've had a recent dip in temperature, not much, but I think enough to cause me to feel pretty damn shitty. And my brother opened his mouth and said some stuff that left me not wanting to talk to anyone. I really have to admire his ability to say crap that pisses me off right when I think we're starting to finally grow up and get along.

Aaaaaand I'm really tired because I was a genius and decided to stay up until 2 am when I had to be at work this morning.

My epic Halloween plans have hit a bit of a snag because my truck broke down (again) and so that set me back by $200+. Now I need to figure out what I can whip up from what I have at home. I might be able to wing a crappy Batman costume. I know I could pull off a Josie & the Pussycats outfit easily too. I'm going to start decorating this week. I think I need to buy more spiderweb for the house, and I'll probably be making trashbag ghosts all week, but I am super looking forward to Halloween this year.

( Aaaand here is a meme )

I keep telling myself I'll write more and do more, but somehow I just end up spending all day staring at the tv watching anime or documentaries. At least I'm learning?

May need to get a second job, which would negate the whole point of quitting PC so I wouldn't be working my ass off to the point of illness anymore. Anyone know any single rich old guys about to bite the bullet that wouldn't mind to be married to some eye candy?


Something less negative: Lauren did a Five Words meme. Here are my thoughts on what she gave me.

     Hero
I'm assuming this is because of my ridiculous love for all things superhero. Or perhaps because my manifesto is "be your own superhero." When I get dressed to go out, I consider my clothes to be on par with Batman's cowl. Um, I'm really not sure what else to say about this one.

     Dork
I definitely prefer the word "dork" to either "nerd" or "geek" because, for me at least, it implies a higher level of enthusiasm. I either don't like something, or love it a ridiculous amount. It's like I have an on/off switch instead of the dimmer switch everyone else has. And my interests generally fall into the nerd/geek/dork/however you categorize it. And I really don't mind it, unlike some people. Mutant Dork and proud.

     Music
I was banging on pots and pans before I knew what music was. In elementary school, my favorite part of the school year was the annual music show. In middle school I was introduced to the dangerous drug known as playing the violin. I would practice more than two hours a day. I fucking kissed my violin. I sang in college until my schedule kept me from making choir practice. I have over 200 cds (that's the number I counted to before I gave up) and had to buy a hard drive just for my music. I may not be very good at it, or know much about it, but I love it. And I love it loud. If possible, I turn it up until I can feel it in my bones. Music is beautiful and it is unifying in a way that only art can be. You don't have to speak a particular language to appreciate sound. And everywhere I go, I hear music. Not just the songs stuck in my head, but also in the tinkling of the wind in the leaves and the low slide of vehicles driving at a fast speed. And I FUCKING LOVE IT.

     Loyal
Am I loyal? Idk...I kind of feel like I'm a crappy friend and bad at fandom. And I'm a coward (see below) so doing what loyalty sometimes requires is difficult for me. But it does take me a long time to form attachments to people (or things) so when I do, I always feel really intensely for them.

     Scared
It is little wonder why this word comes to mind when thinking of me. I am scared of everything. The dark, thunder storms, turning out of parking lots. My own mother regularly causes me to jump and scream in fear and all she has to do is walk in a room. I'm also scared of non-tangible things like ~the future~. Sometimes my fears are just a slight anxiety, the briefest of worries. Other times, they are paralyzing and destructive. But they are always there and they shape how I live my life.

Make a voice post with the following things so that your F-list can hear how you pronounce them (and laugh at you, of course):
☆ Your name and/or username
☆ Where you're from
☆ The words "roof", "aunt", "direction", and "naturally"
☆ Your favourite song
☆ Your favourite character
☆ A word in a different language



Did a video because I don't have good reception in my room and I'm too lazy to get up. Sorry I left my speakers on by mistake, you can hear some kind of feedback in the background.

1. Comment on this and I will give you 3 fictional fandom characters.
2. Decide of the 3 whom you would marry, do, and/or dump.
3. Post this meme to your journal with your answers (pictures are optional).

(Totally too lazy to do the pictures)

Marry:
Cap'n Kirk

Upon asking for clarification, Kelly specified nu!Kirk, not Shat!Kirk. Who wouldn't want to wake up with Captain Fine next to them every morning for the rest of their life? Plus, I think Kirk would help me out of my shell and he's totally used to spending a lot of time with people with horrendous people skills (i.e. Bones). Oooh, maybe we could have some fun with the good doctor?


Do:
Draco Malfoy

I'm a freaking muggle. No way I'd want to spend the rest of my life listening to him whine about my inferiority. Because as much as I love him, Draco is one whiny ass bitch. But soooooo pretty.


Dump:
Bruce Wayne

One word. Batdickery. I do not want to put up with that shit. Plus, I'd be worried he'd want me to address his dick as Batcock or something equally ridiculous.

Great Detail Challenge Meme
Day 25 – A first, in great detail

Back then, the uniform was jeans and a red or blue t-shirt. They wanted me to start immediately so I didn't have time to find and buy a shirt. I ended up wearing my Supergirl shirt inside-out. Margaret opened the store and gave me my paperwork and made me my name badge. I still have it, too. Then I was escorted to the front where I was trained by Janet. Every day after that though, I was trained by Courtney. I didn't know how to tie balloons when I started there. I didn't drive. I only owned one pair of jeans.

Now we wear black shirts only and I have two pairs of khaki pants. When they want something done well and fast they get me to do it. I've worked five Halloweens, just over four years. And I kick some fucking ass.


Day 26 – Your fears, in great detail

I am afraid of the dark. I'm scared something is going to snatch me. I'm afraid of heights. My feet can't even be five feet off the ground without me getting dizzy and nauseated. I'm scared of flying in airplanes. The last time I flew, it took me almost a day to come down from my fear. One time, I got stuck watching a program on the tv about airplanes and I got so scared I started crying. And I was paralyzed, I couldn't move I was so scared, and so I was stuck watching it. And it was some kind of airplane marathon. I'm scared of change. They rearranged the grocery store by my house and I can't walk in there anymore without my pulse jumping. I'm scared of getting food poisoning and dying. I'm scared of being kidnapped and kept in a dungeon. I am scared to eat with my back facing a window because then I think I will be shot and killed in the back by a sniper. I am afraid that everyone I love will leave me. I am terrified of getting lost and then running out of gas and being stranded in a dead zone. I am scared by how much I want to drop everything and leave without telling anyone where I'm going. I am scared of being beaten. I am afraid of not being heard.

I am afraid of a lot of things clearly. And this was just the start.
