Which is to say, GIP! Snow White from the cover of The Mermaid's Madness, all dressed up for Christmas.

yohjideranged, posting in ffvii_100 @ 10:51pm: Ack!
I just realized that I have failed to post prompts for the last couple weeks! really, this is where my head is: end of term papers and exams.

My tremendous apologies!!

Prompts will resume on the 14th.

teamromy @ 2:55pm: *BIG HUGS*
jlsigman, what a surprise!! Thank you for all the mint tea. ^__^ It looks delicious and I cant wait to try it! And more importantly, it really made my day today.

You...don't happen to have a wishlist or anything, do you? I can't guarantee that anything sent would get to you before Christmas, but it would be nice to have the option.

Thank you so much.

*tons of love*

dragovianknight @ 9:08am: Not enough "Do Not Want" in the UNIVERSE
It snowed last night. *cries*

koi_lungfish @ 1:11pm: Article of interest
"If the dead hand of the God of Abraham is to be lifted ... ".

teamromy @ 10:11pm: Last push
Will be incredibly busy this week wrapping up final projects for classes. Kadaj has taken on the Kashmir project and the psych tests. Yazuu is tackling the book report reading and we still don't know who will be handling the term paper. Kyosuke will finish up the online class tomorrow with exception of the final book critique. Hopefully we won't go crazy...heh heh.

Can't wait to sell books back and are already looking for the cheapest price on all the books we will need next semester. Texts are going to kill us next term because two of the books required are brand new editions. Damn.

Still are not getting comment notifications, so, if we comment to you and you comment back, we may not see it. We're trying to back-track, but we may miss something until we get it sorted out. Looking into a different mail service...not happy with any of them really, but you know how it goes. We need comment notifs!

Now for a little Family Guy and R&R (downtime, how I adore you)...we'll catch up with you all next week.

Later gaters!

dragovianknight @ 11:07am: This is what I get for reading fairy tales before bed
Last night I dreamed that Peter Pan knocked up Wendy and they had twins.

Peter gave Wendy a fruit, and when she went to eat it, Tink magically goosed her, so that she swallowed it whole and came up pregnant with twins. (This happens surprisingly often in fairy tales.) And we know it was the fruit because the twins (one boy, one girl, named Nut and Berry) had skin the yellow-orange color of the fruit's flesh (yes, they were literally peach colored) and green hair and eyes like the fruit's skin. Oh, and also they were born in seed pods, which, you know, ouch.

And since part of my dream was a dream, and part of it was me reading the book, I woke up with passages like, "The twins grew quickly, so that in perhaps a year - or a bit more, or a bit less, for time is hard to reckon in Neverland - they were old enough to join the Lost Boys. And Berry ran as fast and laughed as loud and flew as high as any of the others, for Wendy had been quite unable to make a proper young lady of her (Wendy privately blamed Peter's influence)."

Then later the twins accidentally left Neverland (which was apparently in a giant beehive, IDEK), and as they grew up and lost their innocence and outgrew their clothes I suspect there would have been twincest, but I woke up before then.

Oddly, the whole dream was of the Disney style characters, even though Disney's Peter Pan is by far my least favorite (I prefer the character designs from Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates, where Peter actually looks like a little boy).

Someone should totally write this for me, of course.

koi_lungfish @ 6:08am: For hell's sake ...
... how many kings of Scotland did I murder? Fine time for family history to bite me in the limbic system, I say ...

teamromy @ 10:12pm: Watching "Meet the Natives USA" on the Travel Channel
If you have the Travel Channel and you want to learn simple wisdom and get a look at your society through the eyes of tribesmen from Tanna, I recommend this wholeheartedly.

One of the best quotes from this evening: "If only they took care of their people they way they take care of their dogs."

raisedbymoogles @ 7:24pm: Made shinies! :D
For lack of anything else to brag about. *ducks* These taken from the new Birth by Sleep images.


Finally, a girl Keyblader! *cheers* (Kairi doesn't count, she's not playable.)


They look like they're having fun. XD


This one is my favorite.

Also, the DC council has voted to allow same-sex marriage in the district! YAY! *dances* On the other spectrum, a bunch of bishops-priests-and-whatnot have gotten together to make a Manhattan Declaration - just in case we'd forgotten that they still frown on that sort of thing. Here's the part that made me lol:

... the reason every civilization in history has defined marriage between men and women, is that society has a lot at stake in preserving continuity, in a wholesome way. It's quite clear that when men and women who have sex and make babies stay together. It's better for their children, and it's better that children grow up with their moms and dads -- and that's why societies have defined marriage, to protect making babies.

OH YOU WACKY FOLKS. Guys, I'm a history-degree dropout, and even I can come up with at least three reasons right off the bat why the above is a giant crock of bantha poodoo.

You guys, if this is the best the traditional-marriage crowd has to offer, I am no longer worried.

teamromy @ 1:51pm: IJ...WTF?
Am I, like, the only one not getting comment notifications?

Don't make me have to get a different mail service just for you! *cries*

Like we're not busy enough/have enough to worry about right now.

Final push of the semester...two more weeks of school and technically the last one doesn't count because that is when everything is handed in. May be AWOL for most of the week...have to finish final projects.

teamromy @ 9:20pm: Wanna know what wires me up?
No...not candy...

You know the squirrel from that movie "Hoodwinked" after he has had caffeine?

I found mine.

Dr. Pepper...oh yes... *manic vibrating giggles*

raisedbymoogles @ 7:25pm: I'm so sick of coughing.
Well, the snow's finally stopped. *peers out of window* After listening to the weather people, I was expecting a few flakes mixed in with all the rain - certainly nothing that would stick. Final verdict? Six inches of fluffy white stuff, easy. (That despairing cry you hear is the county's public school students going 'It couldn't have held off until tomorrow?'.)

It was really nice watching it come down this morning, not that I had a lot of time to watch with work and all. Big fat fluffy snowflakes, perfect for playing in. It's basically what you think of when you imagine a white Christmas. *slightly less Grinchy*

So! In that spirit, have one of those all-I-want-for-Xmas meme things that have been making the rounds. A bit late, but as you will see, it doesn't matter all that much.

( The Rules, for those who have been living under a rock the past couple of weeks. )

My list:
1. A low-stress, preferably not-People-heavy (but I repeat myself) job that will pay me enough to live on. If it's a second job that I can fit in around my current gig, that's cool, but for preference I'd like to have a few afternoons/evenings free to write and chat.
2. A little apartment of my own. If it's warm, clean and all the appliances work, I'll be happy, even if it's only one room in a basement somewhere. (Actually, a basement would be perfect, 'cause that way I could stomp around doing DDR without bothering anyone below me.)
3. A gold chocobo. Less maintenance required than an airship, and I could ride him all around the world visiting everybody! ...Plus, y'know, choco. ^____^
4. A Keyblade. I got some darkness to fight off, yo.
5. A modern Transformers movie with a decent story. I hate to admit it, but yeah, Bay can't do a decent narrative to save his soul. And his portrayal of women makes Frank Miller look progressive.
6. Some brain rewiring, so I can a) get shed of this freaking depression, and b) quit procrastinating so damn much.
7. A little sense of self-worth, pursuant to the above.
8. A stronger heart, likewise.
9. Magic powers and/or Materia. I'm not picky what, although a Haste/Stop/Slow would be useful.
10. Some muscle, which is about as likely as the above.

...Why yes, that was a little passive-aggressive of me. x_x

navigatorsghost @ 2:48pm: Joy
It's a beautiful day in Whitby today. ( Read more... )

Basically, I am really, really happy. Just wanted to mention it. ^_^

raisedbymoogles @ 8:57pm: Do you think people in Africa say 'when you hear hoofbeats, think zebras, not horses'?

yohjideranged @ 8:41pm: Rec to me
I have two more weeks of school before I am free for 3 weeks. So, now that it is between semesters - and I have some spare time - I want you to rec to me!

1. Let me have 5 books you think that I should read (any genre except western or romance) and why.
2. Rec to me 5 movies you think I should see (anything by slash and gorefest) and why.
3. Give me your top five musical artist and why I should give them a listen.

Whaddya say...rec to me?

teamromy @ 6:41pm: There's a small guy with a weedwacker in our computer
Srsly. We have a buzzing noise in out desktop that we are going to have to get looked at when the student money comes in. Omi spent some time with the casing open trying to figure out whether it was a fan motor going out or what, yo. While he was in there, he cleaned up the dusty stuff, wiped up the fans, etc, but when he hooked it up again he noticed that the noise may be coming from the actual hard-drive itself. So, he got the hours of the local computer doctors so that they can give it a free inspection. It could be the hard-drive or one of the rom-drives. Either way, it is something that we have to get repaired.

So, we have just spent the last couple hours removing all essential files - picture, music, schoolwork, executables, etc. - and dropping them on keys for safety, yo. Don't wanna take any chances of losing any of the important shit.

Figures this would happen at the end of the semester with two weeks and several big papers due, yo. But it is a really good thing that we have the mini otherwise we would have to use The Wers's computer and that would be a bummer all the way around, yo.

But we have decided that since we have to have it repaired anyway, we may as well upgrade it with more memory and maybe a new fan. Hey, why the heck not. The bite of all this is that we still won't be able to get it fixed for about three or four weeks. Oh well.

So, hey...pray for our desktop that it isn't anything too serious, yo?

navigatorsghost @ 10:09pm: Anyone want some Transformers?
This is a crosspost from my LJ. Would anyone like any of Koi's old TFs what it is selling?

Cheers,

yohjideranged @ 11:14pm: I am not a Twilight fan
Skepchick has a fantastic article that pretty much sums up my distaste for Twilight.

If you don't have the time to read the whole article, here is the short run down:

"The messages behind Twilight? Be weak, let your man protect you. Be careful, don’t get him angry. If he hurts you, it’s your fault. Abuse is part of life. Accept it. If he really loves you, he’ll try not to hurt you but don’t be surprised if he does. You probably deserve it. You are nobody without your man, so don’t bother trying."

Ew Moon: Why Twilight continues to hurt America…

Twilight fans beware...there are spoilers for New Moon. But I am sure that everyone has probably already seen it, right?

raisedbymoogles @ 4:03pm: I still think sea-salt ice cream sounds icky.
So, I've had Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days in my possession for a little over twenty-four hours now, and my left thumb is already threatening to shrivel up and drop off. Which probably means I'm Doing It Wrong, but eh, what else is new. ...I think I like this game. ^_^ (Xion is a badass.)

Also: I got these 5Q's from jlsigman a long time ago and am only now getting around to answering them. One step at a time. XD

( You know the drill. ) Question me or my headcast, at your pleasure.

teamromy @ 1:53pm: Oh my
Genesis the Being failed to put deodorant on this morning. I noticed this fact in the middle of history class when I raised my hand to add to discussion. It's not scorching with odor, but I am hoping that others do not notice very much. I am trying not to sit or stand real close to people out of courtesy. How embarrassing.

The body started the monthly also, which could account for some of the earlier stress-induced flail post and the emotions that went with it. This also accounts for the fact that I am looking for someone else to tackle the next class and the discussion on the group project. Maybe I can bribe someone with a promise to make meat buns over winter break?

yohjideranged @ 11:21pm: Dear Semester,

You have dragged me through hell and back with all the reading, the papers, the sheer madness of what the instructors think that students should handle for one class...

So, listen up! I have a 9 abstracts, two book critiques, one term paper, a discussion, four tests and some key terms to finish in the next 14 days. Don't you dare throw any more crap at me until next semester or you will get no love.

Hell it is a miracle if I get out of this semester with my sanity in tact and grade that are at least passing.

I would like to be having a life back.

Sincerely over-worked,
Me.
