and they HATED me.

Sun, 08 Jan 2006 17:13:22 GMT

Leave it up to one of my friends to keep me away from Livejournal. I have come to the conclusion that she is evil and there is no help for her. And now she's going to kill me for writing that. Nooo.

Seriously, though. We've had a storyline since the beginning of October that's still going on. I think it's lost its original point by now, but. Er. It's still dramatically fun? Fullmetal Alchemist. Tons of drama opportunities, even if I hate to throw those things on my characters at times. I play... The list is very, very long. You think you can truly have a long lasting FMA rp without including the other characters? HAH! That is amusing. I alone play Roy, Al, Riza, Havoc, Hughes, the Gay Trio (as we so affectionately call Fuery ~~my mind likes to go on to other topics before I'm done typing, woo typos!~~, Farman, and Breda), Alfons (don't ask how we worked it out), Lust, Sloth, and Hohenheim. I wouldn't give it up for anything, though. It's so fun to give all the characters different personalities and to have to switch to a few different ones in one single scene. I think I play Hughes and Alfons the best. Hmm.

I don't know what I'll do once that storyline is over.

I made a friend this past week that is into FMA and yaoi and all of those great things that I never thought I'd have a friend who likes them in real life. I'm still a little shocked over it. One minute she was pointing out my FMA sweater and the next we were exchanging numbers. I went to her house on Thursday, where we just watched AMVs, looked at pictures, and acted like the total geeks we are. I can't wait until conventions this summer, I'm so dragging her along. Oh! And the Ren Fest! There's a chance I may apply to work there. I'm not entirely sure as of yet. She works there and, well, it will be an extra boost to get my ass in gear and have a first job that I'll actually probably adore. Next to the OMFGHELLISH temperatures.

Okay, need to delete a bunch of the movie icons I made and upload the ones I made that are in, dare I say, COLOR. Mmm, torrents. I don't know what I'd do without mininova.org or whatever it is. I wouldn't be a crazy anime fan today.

On that note, to make a new layout, or not to make a new layout? I've seen all these pretty things around, including things like the_lj_reboot and I'm very intrigued. My muses seem to be giving me ideas by the moment, each which I forget. There's a chance I'll browse around a little and then try something out. There's a scene (though rather depressing) in the second FMA manga that would make a nice layout. Even if it would be instant emo to any one who visits my journal directly. Hmm.

Enough rambling! I need to write more.

Ew. Exam week. The feeling of procrastination is a lovely one, isn't it? I'm sitting here, waiting until the very last moment to study for my world religions exam that comes first thing tomorrow morning. The lovely auricle is also supposed to be there as well, so I can bother her when we aren't being the lazy things we are and sleeping. I need to study for my AP Lit exam after that one, so... Not much sleeping for me. Woe.

MY BIRTHDAY. SATURDAY. I'm going to see Harry Potter and King Kong. My mom is teh awesome. And and and I'm getting the money to buy a costume commission for Roy Mustang's uniform. Of course, it might be altered in the future because of certain 1st and 2nd Lieutenants. Heck yes. I'm going to be eighteeen. Not that it's a big deal or anything. Kind of. Maybe.

I can get a better job, that's for sure. I'll see. I need one somewhat badly in the next couple months. There's an issue of raising the money to bring my friend over from Belgium and money for conventions, so. Urgh. Fun stuff.

Have pictures!

We've actually had this up for quite awhile. Before Thanksgiving, I think. I've finally gotten around to taking ~~pretty~~ pictures.

The tree! Nine feet tall and very burdened with random lights and objects, mainly snow man themed. There's a star on top but you can't see it.

Tree and fireplace. With a fire. FIRE.

The whole living room with our massive furniture.

COOLEST LIGHT EVER. It has water in it that bubbles at the stem thing! Omg. It amuses me.

My desktop pwns all.

PS: adesso, I love you to bits and pieces. Feel betteeeer. We must do something over break! MUST! Last time was so much fun. Plus, omg FMA and FMA movie!

i'm only slightly spoiled. :[

Sun, 13 Nov 2005 20:13:33 GMT

Oh, heck yes. My parents went to Sam's Club today and bought a lot of good food (MUFFINS). However, they bought something that particularly makes me happy.

I've named him Edward (small, much?). Woo! It's a camera/video phone and you can also listen to the radio on it! o.o How cool is that? Eventually I'll give out my number, especially to people like Michelle and Danni (who I need to talk to >:[). So. YAY. It's so pretty. The Edward!cellphone to my Alphonse!iPod.

Now to go back to worrying about school projects.

i still want to be a hobbit.

Dear Immune System,

WOE. D:

Sick yet again,
Tiffany

I hate being sick. My throat hurts so badly I can barely swallow. My mother made me warm tea this morning, but, nngh. It did the job only for a short time.

I have a lot of things to work on. Okay, maybe they really aren't a lot. They all just seem to have many parts. I want to scream, seriously. Who decided it was a good idea to make the notecard project be due the day before the photo essay?! I DO NOT UNDESTAND THIS LOGIC! This is not good for procrastinators such as myself. This week =/= fun. I also have a Medal of Honor recipient paper to work on. And a story for extra credit for Law Studies (over Veteran's Day. I could write a reflection over Saving Private Ryan, but... Actually, I'm not sure. I heard the perfect quote from the movie to write on. Now I'm torn). Hi, rambling to myself.

I want a better quality of the FMA movie now kthnx. Icons are cool. It's hard to make icons out of what I've got. Oh well, beggars certainly can't be choosers. Woe. It should not be so hard to find pictures of Alphonse H. Not fair.

Okay. Need to make header. Like now.

ranch chips and silent hill music.

Wed, 09 Nov 2005 01:36:07 GMT

I haven't updated in forever. For this, I am terribly sorry. The past week hasn't been interesting in the least bit. I sit around, talk to my Edward on Skype for hours, and roleplay. MY LIFE. Oh yeah, school is thrown in there, as well.

I did see the Fullmetal Alchemist movie finally. Can my love for it be put down in words? Not at all. Not at all. It might have just been Alphonse and Al, though. I don't know how I'll manage to wait for a better quality version.

Oh, oh, oh. And if I could sing or play any instruments except the violin, I'd so make a band called Havoc and the Gay Trio. >:]

I need to find people to friend and, more importantly, work up the guts to actually ask for them to friend me. I've seemed to have lost the knack I once had. Woe is me. It's not even as if I write all that much fic anymore, or make icons or layouts and what have you... I am lazy.

There goes my attention span, I found three dollars in my desk! Huzzah.

Things to do:
- Make Al icons. And Alphonse icons. NOW.
- Come up with more ideas for roleplay, yay?
- A layout would be awesome (finish what you started).
- Organize and decorate your folder for once, ye lazy wench.
- Watch the anime you downloaded. Yeah. Fruits Basket, Witch Hunter Robin, and Hellsing. DO IT.

Thu, 03 Nov 2005 02:56:40 GMT

Oh my God, fandom, how you corrupt me. Every time I listen to "Popular" from the musical Wicked, I now imagine Hughes singing it to Roy when he promises to help him one day become Fuhrer.

Uuuum.

Only slightly disturbing.

Ugh life is such a tedious thing to experience. Lame thing to say, buuuut. I'm so tired and was lectured tonight AND! At least I had good food at this random Chinese restaurant thing? Yeah. I didn't get to roleplay as much as I wanted to (shh, it's fun to play human Al).

It needs to be this summer. Liek. Now. I'm tired of waiting. I think I've definitely narrowed my cosplay choices down. Roy and movie!Al. Both guys! How surprising of me. I need to get a job asap so I can commission costumes or something equally as dandy, for I haven't sewed a stitch in my life and I'd hate to botch my first attempts. Sob. I know I need to live through it, but, uh... No. Hah.

For AP Lit we were assigned to photograph and write a ... photo essay. Easy enough, right? A lot of my friends seem to find it beyond cool that I chose to photograph things that deal with fandom and how it affects people. If it weren't due Nov. 18, I would have been able to take a camera to photograph people at the GoF premiere and then when I saw adesso probably near Thanksgiving I could have talked her into helping me with the anime aspect of it. Um. HI DANNI! :D Oh well. I'll have pictures of my room (which reminds me that I need to seriously fill the missing spot to my right), probably pull some friends of the mall to take pictures of things like the manga section of the book store, um... And various other things. One friend mentioned perhaps using cosplay. Woe, I do not have any costumes. Um, it would have been cool to use the pictures from Halloween. I sort of wish I would have taken pictures of the pinkness of my face after I washed all the blood off, to show... You know, what I'll go through to be a character. Yay for fandom?

My entries never make any sense when I'm this tired.

Tue, 01 Nov 2005 14:07:27 GMT

From the time I saw the peephole haunting in the game, I knew it. There was my Halloween costume. I had known that I awnted to be something from the Silent Hill series, but Pyramid Head was too difficult and people like James, Maria, and Heather weren't really scary if you didn't know their story. Okay, Heather's not scary at all, unless you consider the OMGTEENAGER bit of it. Ahem. Anyway, my mother agreed a few months ago on this costume, which made me ecstatic.

Last night, of course, it came true. The 21121 version of Henry Townshend, as worn uncomfortably by me.

I'm still stained with blood. Um.

Mon, 31 Oct 2005 22:55:55 GMT

Covered in blood? Check.

Uncomfortable because of said blood? Check.

The camera is being used as part of our haunted house, so I won't have all that many pictures. I promise you, however, that I will have them. I've had everyone said I was scary so far. SCARY! See, mother, Henry Townshend in his 21121 state is scary. My dad was like, "that's scary! Where's it from?!" I've had to explain it about a million times. I hope there's at least one Silent Hill fan that recognizes it. D:

Um. We're actually using music from Silent Hill in the haunted trail, specifically Silent Hill 2. Awesome. I'm so glad for some reason.

Now I must run and be more uncomfortable.

icons. a good way to waste time.

Sun, 30 Oct 2005 21:28:48 GMT

Instead of doing something, you know, productive schoolwise, I've done nothing really but make icons. Quote icons are too much fun. They're simple yet so complex. All the different sizes, different decorations. All of those are from Fullmetal Alchemist, both the show and the manga. Predominantly episode 13 or the Military Festival side-story. Woo.

Halloween is so cloooose.

Off to go and do nothing until it's time to go to bed. D:

lists are awesome

Sat, 29 Oct 2005 04:20:32 GMT

Things to do:

- Work on userinfo.
- Make icons. Upload icons. Actually keyword icons.
- Uh. Sleep?
- Watch the numerous ghost shows that will probably come on this weekend.
- Make sure costume is ready for Monday.
- Work on website for school.
- Roleplay.
- Make a nice layout for this journal.

Yep. My weekend plans. Of course, that has to all be squeezed into the massive amount of work that will be going on for the haunted whatsitsname that we're doing for Halloween night. Tomorrow we're putting together candy baggies, carving pumpkins, all that jazz. On Sunday a bunch of people are coming over to help us set up the bare bones of the operation. Monday my parents are actually staying home to complete the job. God, I have such cool parents sometimes.

I feel so lazy. No wonder I'm the Roy Mustang to my Edward. Lazylazylazy.

I like recording myself reading things, even if I'm not very good at it. It's fun! I need to practice talking different for characters and such. Whee. I have no life.

Sooo, bayliss, my lovely big sister, bought me a paid account. Hence all the layout talk and what not. I AM FOREVER ENDOWED OMG. She is so great.

And auricle? That essay? AWFUL. A-W-F-U-L. I swear, I rambled the entire time. Ugh, that was a pointless essay. OH, DICTION OMG. DETAIIILS! I did bad. It was so awful I couldn't focus, and... Yeah. It ended up awful. We'll see what happens. I'll probably end up getting yet another seven.

Okay, I need to stop the random blatherings and force myself to do something constructive. I really need more friends into anime... I NEED TO STOP USING THE SAD AL ICON. Too bad he looks sad most of the time in his human form except... :[

...friday?

Fri, 28 Oct 2005 10:56:15 GMT

Friday. I'm not excited at all. Yesterday night was one of the worst I've had in a long while. And to think it was my sister's birthday. God, I've never felt worse going out with my family. I don't think there's even a small chance we'll all go out for my birthday. I can thank my sister for that.

Last night I had to do this... Take home test thing for English that had to do with Paradise Lost and Dante's The Inferno. Talking about Hell that much isn't very fun. Thanks to a suggestion by my Edward I almost signed one of the questions as John Constantine. What?! It would be telling the truth and answering the question. The questions on Paradise Lost were a piece of cake compared to those on The Inferno. You wouldn't think it would be all that difficult. Psh, yeah right. I want to write a story about my journey through Hell with some poet in history and make it mean completely different than what you read.

I want to see the FMA movie so badly omg. :[ I'm almost desperate enough to watch the version where someone brought the movie camera into the theatre. Notfairnotfair don't want to wait the months until it comes on dvd and someone gets it online. Too long to wait. At least I'll get it at all, but still. I want to see it SO BADLY. Lamelamelame but ugh the end of the series left me on a "...k" type note and I need to see the movie now.

Now that I've jumped topics enough, it's time for me to actually get ready for school.

omgwtf embarrassment.

Wed, 26 Oct 2005 19:13:30 GMT

I love how I was listening to Alphonse (my iPod mini, he's been renamed) today during Web Design and I feel a tap of my shoulder. I turn around and it was the guy next to me tapping me because my teacher was standing right there. He doesn't care at all that I'm listening to it, as long as I'm doing something productive. I was just sitting there today, sort of dazed off and staring at the numbers as they were slowly eeking away and bringing the end of the day closer and closer. He then asked if I had any songs on there I could have, but I didn't have the cable with me. Okay, okay, that wasn't the part that was funny. I just happened to be listening to "Date Rape" by Sublime at the time that he was staring directly at the screen. I'm sure I turned about a hundred shades of red. I do know that I couldn't talk straight and was like "heh heh..." Good thing he didn't seem to care at all, he wanted to see what music I had.

Too bad I barely had any on there. :[ I looked like a music loser. Damn you Alphonse for losing all my songs. Sob.

Um. Anyway. I have a lot of work to do tonight and I'm too tired and lazy to actually attempt any of it.

NNGH! Emilie Autumn's poetry book, Your Sugar Sits Untouched, is up on the Willotech House site for sale! For a limited time all will be personally autographed. Oh dear, oh dear, I need to beg my mother for it. I love Emilie Autumn to bits and would die to have something like that. Lets hope that she'll cave and buy it for Christmas. I don't care if she keeps it until then, I WANT IT.

Lalala Al is the cuter Elric brother.

Tue, 25 Oct 2005 19:15:52 GMT

I thought school would be awful today. Thank God, it wasn't. A normal "oh I haven't been to school in forever WHERE'S MY WORK" day. Now watch me procrastinate on the make-up work. I know me. I have three math assignments to work on, a take home test for AP Lit, and... Other stuff that I can't remember about right now.

OH. I have to write a poem on Eric Erikson for my Psychology group project thing. I was given the task, even though I half volunteered for it. I almost want to make a song for him (and even found a cool beat to sing it to), but... I can't sing. I'd kill the poor class. All I remember about him is that he wasn't crazy like Freud when he came up with his theory and he had blond hair and blue eyes, which was looked upon as weird since he had Jewish parents. Except his real dad wasn't and they kept it a secret, oops. Poor guy.

It's coooold ooout. It's so strange to walk outside and be greeted by OMGCOLD. Living in Florida, it's a strange thing. It rarely was cold last year. And now... It's only the end of October and it's cold! Here's to hoping it's at least cool on Halloween night. I have to sit outside while giving out candy all BLOOD SPLATTERED.

Anyway. Little Alphonse was so cuter than little Edward okay.

Now I must go forage for food.

Tue, 25 Oct 2005 01:52:34 GMT

Leave it to me to never update this journal. I'm really weighing the choice of whether to just move to livejournal. It seems I'd have a much better chance of making friends here than on greatestjournal. The only problem? My journal name at gj is elrics. Coolest name ever, okay. I don't know if I could bear to leave it behind. I only post random things in there. Rarely do I actually come out and write an entry about my life. I'm too into fandom and randomness and strange dreams that I have had to actually update with something about my, gasp, life.

How goes it? I'm listening to "The Breaking of the Fellowship" and trying not to cry, as the end makes me think of Fullmetal Alchemist and I've already cried too much over that. The end? No. No. Just no. I've never had so many mixed emotions over anything. Oh. Wait, there was Return of the King. I think I can compare the feeling of watching episode 51 to watching Return of the King, namely from about the time Frodo woke up after destroying the Ring to the credits. Maybe even more sad. I'm not even sure. I'd rather not think about it that way. Now I only have to wait until someone has the movie online that isn't the camera-in-theatre version. Ugh, that is awful.

Wow, that last paragraph changed subjects a lot. Hi. I need to raise up the money and buy myself a paid account over here. Five dollars is a lot to milk out of my parents when we're "on a budget." Nngh, all right.

"May it Be"! WOE.

Tue, 05 Jul 2005 07:23:12 GMT

I suppose I should write more in this thing. There's definitely something wrong with my here and there attitude over this. In the time I've moved to at least three different Greatestjournals, I could have taken the time to pop in and give you guys a quick update on how I'm doing, blah, blah blah.

Basically, it's summer. All I do it laze around all day, er, if I'm up during the day. Normally I stay up until at least six or seven am and wake up some time in the afternoon hour. I either go on the computer or play one of the Silent Hill games. Amusing, is it not?

I'm big with Silent Hill right now. Especially the second. PYRAMID HEAD. Hello, he is one of the coolest villains ever to grace the video game world. It's tragic what happens to the poor dear. Er, though I'm not so sure it's the best saying that after watching the oh so wonderful "Fu Ku Ro" video staring him and some choice characters. Ahem.

I have the urge to write something staring the hobbits. Or roleplay. Okay, so I am writing a certain AU crossover that I have no idea where the idea is. On the side I'm also doing something with a friend rpwise, the hobbits in Sin City with Charlie and Liam as characters, as well. It's very random and intersting, because somehow we've managed to fit all the characters in, keep them in character, and still go smoothly in a storyline. It's loads of fun.

See? I never write good entries. I should nudge adesso, auricle, and caithream and tell them that I miss them. So I will. *NUDGE*

Um, I guess I'll go contribute a semi-good Frodo fic to the Pit to try and stir the masses. Too bad it would be looked over for the Mary Sues.

edit // I know you want to see my puppy, Jack Aubrey-Shepard-Sparrow. Though he's truly named after the super doctor. ;)

Wed, 27 Apr 2005 22:29:56 GMT

Dude, adesso. TOMORROW. Okay, could you get whatever parent to drop you off here? Bring all of your stuff. We're going to stay here, my parents are going to rent movies, and I have Lord of the Rings trivial pursuit that we can play ~~and you can beat me horribly at because you're good like that~~. On Friday we leave for St. Augustine!

Tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow...

I love you all.

Sun, 03 Apr 2005 02:24:46 GMT

Danni (adesso) - I have a major question. Are you free April 29 (we have that day off) and 30th? We're going to St. Augustine. The hotel rooms are booked. My parents would pay all your expenses, you only need to bring money if you want to buy something in one of the shops or something. Can you go? It would be AWESOME. We can have a Dom marathon and act like weirdos and go around in the oldest town in the US and OH YOU HAVE TO COME. Can you can you can you?

Oh yeah, and can you maybe come see Sin City next weekend? I'm dying over here.

Tue, 29 Mar 2005 00:33:58 GMT

I'm back and better than ever! [/cliche]

Revamped basically everything. I think I might want to update this way more. I update my greatestjournal like crazy, why not this one? Oh well. We'll see what happens. Still need to fix up the side bar of this layout.

SCHOOL TOMORROW. Spring break was over far too quickly.

Now to work on my entries for 20_rings (adesso is an evil genius)!

Oh greatful nostalgia, how I love thee.

My life is full of strange coincidences. Last night I found someone had requested "My Heart Will Go On" at a community I belong to on GJ and a person provided a yousendit link. I downloaded it right away and listened to it - despite it being nearly 1:30 in the morning and I wasn't supposed to be on. Today while doing a mini-project for English, I found a lovely picture of Kate Winslet and then, get this, a picture from the movie Titanic. That is just too cool.

Hi. How was everyone's week? I'm writing a nice fic about Liam and Charlie. Pacecest, coughcough. It has a very nice idea behind it, however.

Tue, 04 Jan 2005 10:11:52 GMT

Okay. Really. XP just closed my entry and then I accidently pressed something so I lost it a second time.

Something just knocked on my door.

Anyway. I've been up since 12 am. Watching Lost, sneaking on the computer, being a teenager. Charlie is just... gorgeous. Beautiful. No wonder Pacecest exists. Charlie + Liam = no words can describe how beautiful this pairing is.

I had a dream in the two hours I did sleep that was... Different. Zombie horror flick like. It was complete with it's own made up disease that was ravaging the world. Charlie was in it. He was my age, we were love interests, and... Strangely, it felt as if I was roleplaying that part of the dream. I was almost like a character I had created, Katie Pace (played by Emilie Autumn), and someone I knew was playing Charlie (who looked a lot like the Dom poster on my wall - http://gallery.greatestjournal.com/albums/up/2/662002/12-21-04_1452.jpg (caithream!)! It was so strange. Right off the bat, as soon as he came in and we shared a few kisses and laughs, we managed to get the disease. That was horribly depressing. However, it did play a lot like a movie, and more than one thing was happening at once. As soon as we got the disease, it cut to me being some girl stuck in this strange woman's hospital and nearly getting infected myself. It was frightening, trying to kill the head lady and getting nowhere, only to be forced to run down the hall ways where the infected walked. Even scarier was getting outside. It turned into one of those dreams where you couldn't move fast enough. Everything was holding you back. When people stopped their car to help me, I almost couldn't get in fast enough and was taken. Sigh.

It was nice kissing Charlie.

Though, I woke up and nearly started crying. My imagination is far too doom and gloom for my taste. I imagined the characters in the dream, older Charlie and whatever character I played. Yet... The disease had hit, and, unfortunately, there was only one opening in a bus that was taking certain people to a safe-haven. Charlie, being in Driveshaft, managed to pull some strings and my character on. So depressing. :(

The last place I want to go today is school.

OMFG. LET ME REPEAT OMFG! I went searching for a Dom site that I forgot the addy of, and what the fuck do I get?! THIS!

Since audblog is the absolute devil and I forgot that paid accounts came with audio posts, here you go:

It's basically a hello post to all of the new friends on my list! Listen and, uh, enjoy my rambling. "You All Everybody" was playing in the background if you wonder what that strange noise is.

I have thirty Liam icons. This makes me very, very happy. I need to have a comment war so I can test them out.
