random pairing thing

| | Comments (2)

I stole this from Nicole.

One True Pairing Ship: ARGH! Make me pick one pairing? >_< *sigh* At the moment I'll have to go with Sol/Ky (Guilty Gear) though I know it's Sephiroth/Cloud (FF7)

Canon Ship: Seishirou/Subaru (X), Touya/Yukito (CCS), Yuki/Shuichi (Gravitation), Legolas/Gimli (LotR, it so is), Vanyel/Stef (Last Herald Mage), Sirius/Remus (Harry Potter, it's there, believe me), Fuuma/Kamui (X), Dee/Ryo (Fake), Jecht/Braska/Auron (FFX, so there, so there), Saiga/Kakei (Gouhou Drug), Juubei/Kazuki (Get Backers), Ban/Ginji (Get Backers)

"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork": Subaru/Kamui (X), Sol/I-no (Guilty Gear), Ky/Jam (Guilty Gear)

"You are one sick bastard": I'd have to go with Fudou/Ban (Get Backers) on this one. I suppose Seishirou/Subaru (X) also might qualify. ^_^


"I dabble a little": Snape/Harry (Harry Potter, not entirely by choice), Zato/Venom (Guilty Gear), Elladan/Elrohir (LotR)

"It's like a car crash": In a good way, or in a bad way? ^^;;

"Tickles my fancy but not sold quite yet": Akabane/Ginji (Get Backers)

"Makes no canon sense but why the hell not": Roni and Ed are going to kill me for this one. *cough* Sol/Bridget (Guilty Gear) ¬_¬ (That's adult Bridget, mind you.)

"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it": Aragorn/Legolas (LotR) takes the cake for this one. *grumble grumble*

"When all is said and done": O_o;; I don't get what this is supposed to mean. *sweatdrops* Errr...so I guess the random award goes to Sasuke/Naruto (Naruto)

Guilty Pleasure Ship:Oooh, this is a tough one. *ponders* I think Dizzy/Dizzy (Guilty Gear) gets this award. ^_^

"I can't believe I read it and liked it": Legato/Vash (Trigun), Maul/Obi-Wan (Star Wars)

Favorite Older/Younger Ship: Sol/Ky (Guilty Gear), Seishirou/Subaru (X),

Favorite Younger/Older Ship: Oh,I like Ky/Sol too. And Wolfwood/Vash. ^_^;; *sweatdrops* Even though the two of them are "switch hitters."

...erk? O_O

slumber party orgy!

^_^ Over here at Charm and Crystal's house. ^_^ We are such nerds. Charm's on her laptop updating her blog, Crystals on the new computer browsing her e-mail and her forums, and here I am, on the old computer blogging.

Whee, we are such big nerds. *laughs* We had some hotpot stuff for lunch, and Skuld is now going to sleep over. ¬_¬ We're supposed to be doing homework, but incidentally we are all being idiots and doing our regular fun 'net stuff. ^_^ Bad us.

And now, Skuld's stupid moment of the day:

Skuld: Wow, Crystal, you're as thin as a rock.
The three of us: *bursts out laughing*

I wish the language centers of my brain would work sometimes. -_-;;

Salt Lake City, New York City, and Beijing are all about the 39-40-ish N latitude.

Holy shit. Curvature really fucks up my concepts of space. O_O

For those of you who carry almanacs around and look rather suspicious, it seems that you are now terrorists.

Yay! It just doesn't get much dumber than this, folks.

a day of LotR

| | Comments (2)

Spent the day with Celes, Emiko, Katie (Emiko's cousin), Hilary (Katie's friend), and Sarah (Celes's friend). We watched the extended version of "The Fellowship of the Ring," while talking and making fun of it the entire way through (though we had a moment of silence for Gandalf's death). Then we went on an adventure to find a Faramir action figure, but that turned up no LotR action figures at all, and so we went back to Emiko's house, which was blacked out. We ate pizza in the dark, talked, and then went to go see "Return of the King."

That was pretty much my day yesterday. =_=;; *le sigh*

Skuld's day today?

Guilty Gear XX and Lament of Innocence, as usual.

The next time you guys

| | Comments (1)

The next time you guys go to see "Return of the King" why not try doing these?.

^_^

Been reading Morgoth's Ring, and man, I've forgotten alot. I really wish I had The Silmarillion so I can see what Christopher Tolkien finally put together from all his father's texts. O_O;; Errr...why are there 15 names (aside from Melkor Morgoth) listed for the Valar? O_o;; I thought there were only 14. *scratches head*

But despite all the confusion (Inglor = Finrod Felagund, Finrod = Finarfin, Isfin = Irith = Aredhel) one thing still comes through. I hate Feanor. Stupid bastard. Okay, so he made the Silmarils, which are and will forever be the most beautiful things made by the Children of Iluvatar. Well, let's not forget the Kinslaying and the burning of the ships, and the whole Doom of the Noldor bit. Thanks Feanor, thanks a lot. >_<

Oh right, and your sons suck too, Feanor, all except for Maedhros who still had some sense in him. ¬_¬

Reading The Histories of Middle Earth makes me wish Tolkien didn't croak, because I want to know what happens "ere the End" when Morgoth returns from the Void and Feanor is reborn, and the world is destroyed and remade. Damn you, Tolkien! Had to go and die! *shakes fist* -_-;; *sigh*

and that makes me hanker for roleplay. O_O;; I want to do a roleplay about the End and the Return of Morgoth. >_< *grumble* Who's with me?

phone talky fun!

| | Comments (0)

I whittled away the evening and night hours on the phone...with Omi. HOLY SHIT. Talked with him for like...4 hours. Or more. O_o;; Shiiiit. We talked about everything. ^_^ It was nice catching up, but damn, it's been a while since I've spent that long on the phone with someone.

Awww. ^_^ *huggles Omi*

Then I talked with Roni for almost an hour, so I can safely say that my day today consisted of:

1. Being fed at the restaurant of a family friend
2. Playing in the snow
3. Playing Guilty Gear and Lament of Innocence
and
4. Talking on the telephone.

Well, it's winter break. Who needs productivity anyway? XD

Snow~!

| | Comments (7)

It's still snowing. I don't think the snow ever really stopped. O_O;; Goddamn. But on the good side, Skuld went outside to play in the snow for an hour. Built myself something big enough to crawl through. ^_^ Yay! I feel like a little kid again! ^_^ *giddle*

Now that my feet are freezing, I think I shall go make myself a cup of tea and play some Guilty Gear and Lament of Innocence. ^_^ Whee!

I guess snow days are fun after all. ^^

new layout!

| | Comments (0)

New layout! To commemorate the 12"+ of snow we have here in Utah at the moment. Bleh. >_< So I come home from Boston to avoid the snow...and here the snow catches up with me yet again. And I was going to go see RotK with Charm and Crystal again. >_< Stupid weather. Phooey.

Got Charm and Crystal hooked on Get Backers. ^_^ *grins* Oh, they lurves it now. Especially tare-Ginji. So cute. ^_^ *pet pet*

Guess Skuld'll be staying indoors and spending quality time with the PS2. ^_^ Yay.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Snuggles for all my friends. ^_^ I love you all.

w00t for me~

| | Comments (3)

Now I am absolutely convinced that my parents have been taken over by aliens. I managed to weasel a PS2 out of them as an early birthday present, in addition to the Canon A70 digital camera I'm getting. ^_^ Yay! Skuld is happy. I've been playing Guilty Gear XX (*fangirls Sol* How I have missed thee, danna! *schnoogle*) and Castlevania: Lament of Innocence all afternoon.

Now I will no longer whine about being bored out of my mind. ^_^ Whee! Skuld has a PS2! And once she gets back to Boston, no TV to hook it up to! @_@ Wah? Obviously she must remedy this circumstance! ^_^;;

Hats off to Shi, who is yet another CLAMP-and-Guilty-Gear fangirl. ^_^ Ooh, the love.

Got a solid B in 9.03 *sigh* Oh well. -_-;; I didn't much like that class anyways. ^_^;; *sweatdrops*

Oh, and here are some funny things I got off Fark... XD Mmm, Photostop can do such wonderful things. ^_~

Sam and Frodo
Denethor
Red pill...or blue pill?
Fight Club soapy goodness
and the last one for all us Star Trek fans. ^_^ *grins*

Thanks to Lewis for the tipoff. I hope he's gotten his paper finished...since it's Christmas Eve and all. -_-;;

S/S fanfiction sanjou!

| | Comments (0)

The Seishirou fic bunny hath been vanquished. I can now resume my regular Sol Badguy programming. ^_^ I blame this little thing on Ari, Cocoa, and Asphodel. This is entirely all their faults. But I do thank them for providing me with the scans and the Japanese dialogue when I have not X16 here with me.

"Tonight" by Seishuku Skuld.

Series: X
Pairing: implied Seishirou/Subaru

Available at:
Fanfiction.net
CLAMPesque
and here at rose.is.rain

Now I can write Sol again. *tosses the spent Seishirou bunny out the window*
w00t! *goes with Roni to giddle about SolxKy-ness*

Cartoon Heroes

| | Comments (0)

I wish my mom would stop rubbing in the fact that I forgot her birthday (Dec. 8th), and this year she's 60, which is a big deal in Chinese cultures. *sigh* I was buried amidst the Legolas/Gimli slash, the Sol/Ky yaoi, and the insinuations of commando!Ban, surely it's understandable...

Oh yeah, and two trips to the dentist's office in one day sucks ass.

And now your random hyper song of the day is: Cartoon Heroes.
Because I have yet to to beat it. =_=;;

We are what we're supposed to be
Illusions of your fantasy
All dots and lines that speak and say
What we do is what you wish to do

We are the color symphony
We do the things you want to see
Frame by frame, to the extreme

Our friends are so unreasonable
They do the unpredictable
All dots and lines that speak and say
What we do is what you wish to do

It's all an orchestra of strings
Doing unbelievable things
Frame by frame, to the extreme
One by one we're making it fun

We are the cartoon heroes, oh
We are the ones who are gonna last forever
We came out of a crazy mind, oh
And walked out on a piece of paper...

Not as fun a song as Waka Laka, but I suppose I can make do without it until I get back home to the DDR madness. @_@

Gabe and Tycho own my ass.

...and that pic makes me wonder what Sol's about to do with that award he just got. O_O;;

unhappy Skuld

| | Comments (5)

Skuld is unhappy, she is pissed off. Because she went online and talked with Omi last night about going over to his house to play Guilty Gear and DDR, and he was not home. And I even wheedled Castlevania: Lament of Innocence out of my mother at Costco today, and he totally stood me up. Wasn't home. At all.

There better be a good explanation for this, like his limbs got cut off or he DIED. >.<

Skuld is displeased.

Go Ari!

| | Comments (4)

Go Ari! You are t3h r0ck.

You make me want to finish those S/S fics I've started but abandoned. >.< Bad Ari.

melp! ;_;

I'm so bored, I've started watching reruns of The Weakest Link on Game Show Network. =_=;; I think this means I need help.

another cracked dream

| | Comments (0)

This yet another of Skuld's cracked out dreams. ^_^;; This one is moderately cool, if not a little crazy/insane. O_o;;

So the first part of the dream involves this detective, and my roommate Mike Lewis and I, stole all his information and solved the case ourselves. The dream starts about when we're supposed to give his info back and apologize or taking his case. So we do, but he insists on taking Lewis's credit card for recompense. Lewis isn't too happy about that, and Rachel, who happens to be a part of our team, says about the guy, "Well, he tries to come off charming and cool, but he just ends up coming off Jewish." Which is probably one of the best lines I've ever heard while dreaming.

Turns this detective guy is also a drag queen, and the next day I see him wandering around our city (which is a weird mix of Boston and Vegas) in drag. O_o;; I spot him, and am about to demand Lewis's credit card back, when I spot a girl coming up to me. She bumps into me and tries to pickpocket me, but I catch her hand, twist it behind her back, and am about to beat her up, when detective-in-drag guy comes along and picks her up. He apologizes for the attempted robbery of the girl, and takes me and my crew (apparently I'm a pirate with a fairly large crew) out to dinner.

So I'm sitting next to the girl, and I look at her kind of funny, because she's really familiar. She's trying to shake off my weird looks, but I finally figure out what's up. "I know who you are," I tell her, and suddenly she looks a little scared. "You're Princess Vivi of Alabasta." XD And she tells me to be quiet, and that I don't know what I'm talking about, but I know I'm right.

Supposedly there's been a whole shitload up in Alabasta, especially with Crocodile trying to take over, and I know that Vivi's trying to make it back to Alabasta to stop him. Unfortunately, we're in a different dimension, so we have to dimension jump back. "The dimension train will take 7 days to get back to Alabasta," I say to her, "but my crew can get you there in five." And Vivi smiles and thanks me, and we set off immediately.

I tell my crew I'm going ahead, and that they're to follow me, since I'm the only one who can take someone with me while I'm dimension jumping. This requires a lot of concentration. So I hold on to Vivi, mutter a chant, and I end up right smack dab in the middle of some anime convention. Whoops, bad calculation. Try again. Unfortunately for me, all the participants of the con have been told that I'm an evil intruder, and are armed with darts (the kind you play darts with) to throw at me. I catch them all while still protecting Vivi, and throw them back, almost killing a couple of people in the process.

They stop, realizing that I can kick all their asses, and I found out I'm famous in their dimension (for some odd reason), and they give me a tour of the con. They also save me some saltwater taffy they were making. So then I decided to go and taking Vivi and a can of Sprite with me. I did the chant thing, and just as I was about to dimension jump, I woke up, and found out it was about 1:40pm.

...and that was my weirdass dream. O_o;;

Now, back to shopping for a digital camera.

shopping

| | Comments (1)

Skuld spent her day shopping with Celes and Emiko. Hit Crossroads Plaza and Trolley Square. ^_^ We had some really nice moments...like all of us going for the "Return of the King" Soundtrack, and our little adventure trying to get out of the uber confusing parking lot. Here's how that went:

Celes: *getting lost as she's driving* We've been here before... ;_;

*big silence as we all think the same thing*

Skuld, Celes and Emiko: *imitating Frodo* We're going in circles!

And then we took a good five minutes to crack up because we are all such huge nerds. ^_^

Saturday!

| | Comments (3)

It's Saturday, and Skuld gets to see Celes and Emiko again! ^_^ Hisashiburi~! We're going on a Christmas Shopping adventure. ^____^ Whee!

Will have cell phone on, feel free to call. ^_^

Chu Liu Xiang

| | Comments (0)

=_= Stayed up late to finally finish Chu Liu Xiang: Ying Wu Chuan Qi. God, you can't find any of this stuff online. >.< It totally pisses me off. Everyone's forgotten that good shit like this once existed. I snort in the direction of Ricky Ren as Chu Liu Xiang, no one will ever be Chu Liu Xiang like Adam Cheng was.

And for those of you who laugh in the directions of fans used as weapons, Chu Liu Xiang was the original fan-bearing biseinen, and he did it with style, elegance, and class. ^_~ Of course, no one knows what I'm talking about, as I swear I'm one of the very few of my generation who still actually watches and remembers this stuff. This makes me very sad, as there is no longer, in all the chinese rental places, cool sagas like Ying Wu, Ying Zi, and Lan Hua Chuan Qi left. -_-;; *cries* Oh, the sadness of one of my favorite wu-xia series which will be buried forever in the midst of time. *sniffles*

If VCDs of these ever come out (they have for the original 1979 Chu Liu Xiang series, but I don't like that as much as mini-series they did afterwards), I'm so buying them. ;_;

I'll stop my random drabble now.

Whoo! Doing nothing at all feels so good. ^_^ Hanging out with Charm today, because she rocks my socks. ^_^

My computer privileges this break will be sporadic, since Dad's writing a paper and needs the connection. >.< *frown* We need a fucking router! *grumble grumble grumble* ;___;

Well, you all know my phone number. ^_^ You can call either my cell or my home phone, chances are I'm at home most of the time anyway. So if I'm not online, at least we can talk. ^_^;;

Return of the King

| | Comments (2)

Would have blogged last night, but I was way too tired. =_=;; I'd been up for about 22 hours, and I really wanted to crash. And now, later than usual, Skuld's review of "Return of the King."

No spoilers, because you've all read the books already. ^_^ (And if you haven't, I'll strangle you.)

"Return of the King" kicked my ass. No really, that movie totally fucking whooped my ass. It was AWESOME. The beginning was really strong and left me breathless. WOW. The Battle of the Pelennor Fields was massive. It was amazing. *gasps* Total fucking cool shit. So Legolas totally whooped some ass again, and there were less Dwarf jokes. Thank god. I

I was afraid that Peter Jackson was going to leave out the ghosts, but you know, he didn't. Hell, he's a horror director! He can leave them out! ^_^ We see them, and they rule. What we don't see, unfortunately is: Saruman, Prince Imrahil (nooo! *cry*), Denethor's Palantir, the twins (how can you leave out Elladan and Elrohir! >.< *shakes angry fist), the Mouth of Sauron, and the rest of the Dunedain (I used to be such a huge Aragorn/Halbarad fan ^_~). Oh well. *sighs* I suppose I can't have everything.

I'm actually glad they cut out the Scourging of the Shire. It was a part in the book that I never particularly enjoyed, and I think that in this movie, it works better for the hobbits to come back to a perfect, picturesque Shire. No Sharkey for all you Saruman fans.

I think the part with the slaying of the Witch King of Angmar could've been better. Eowyn really got to kick some ass here, and if I recall correctly in the books, I felt as if everything had stood still while she alone confronted him. Maybe that's just me, and I'm wrong, but hell, my heart fucking stopped beating the first time I read that. I didn't feel anything as grand during the movie. That makes me sad. ;_;

Gollum is better than ever. He's awesome in "Return of the King." Really awesome. ^_^ They should give him a best supporting actor award or something. O_O

I do have to say that RotK had to remind us all that "oh yeah, Sam and Frodo are supposed to be straight." >.< Okay, so in canon Sam marries Rosie Cotton. *grumbles* He didn't have to say he wanted to to Frodo. >.< And I don't blame all the Aragorn/Legolas fans anymore. There was A/L splashed all over the movie. -_-;; No! I want my Dwarf/Elf loving! O_o;; *cries* (as a sidenote, here's another repository of Gimli/Legolas slash fanfiction. ^_^) Oh well. At least it's obvious that Pippin and Merry are together. ^_^<3 I don't mind the occasional hobbit/hobbit lurve.

So in short, RotK was really good. It wrapped up the series very nicely. It wasn't too cheesy, and there were some parts that just totally dropped my jaw. :D I wanna go see it again...but after I recover from the shock of how amazingly fucking cool it was.

home sweet home

| | Comments (1)

I'm home! Rejoice, Skuld is home, and is seeing "The Return of the King" tonight. ^_^

United Airlines starved me, those bastards. I had two cans of tomato juice, a couple oreos, a bag of chips, and a bag of pretzels for my 6 hour trip. Thanks you bastards. *shakes fist*

Oh well. Mom is feeding me, and Mom has gooooood cooking. ^_^

So yeah, funny thing Skuld was thinking at the airport...was checking in for my E-ticket, and you just stick your credit card in there and it reads your name, apparently there were other people with my name traveling around, and they had stops in CHICAGO. O_o;; You have no clue how tempted I was to just say, "screw it, I'm not coming home," fly to Chicago, and call up Roni to say, "Hey, I'm here in Chicago, take me home with you. ;_;"

But alas, Skuld is here at home waiting for Omi to show up so we can have dinner and haul ass down to RotK. And congrats to Roni, good luck when they let you know tomorrow! ^_^ *big Skuld huggle*

Okay, time for me to go off, unpack, and catch up with the parental units. ^_^ RotK review to come tomorrow.

So Deep

| | Comments (1)

I finally beat "So Deep." ^_^ Got a B in it too. It's so much easier on x2 speed ^_^ Yeah! *cheers* Oh yeah, beat "A" oni too. ^_^ w00t!

That's the first off on my list of:

Songs to beat by Anime Boston

1. So Deep
2. A (oni)
3. Waka Laka
4. Cartoon Heroes
5. Sakura
6. Exotic Ethnic
7. Stoic
8. Orion .78 Civilization Mix
9. V (oni)
10. The Least 100 Seconds (which I suck at, for some odd reason)
...in no particular order.

I've come close in all those songs, except Sakura where I die at the slow down. You know what that calls for. ^_^ MORE DDR! 8E

freedom

| | Comments (0)

Ow! Dammit! I studied for that test and it still kicked my ass.
-_-;; Okay, maybe it didn't really kick my ass, but I think we struggled for a bit, and we have yet to know who won. That will be determined by the grades I get. =_=;; *grumble* Oh well. Finishing my first, last, and only final is still cause for celebration anyway...because...

I'M FREE!!! FREEEEEEE!

Oh, the sweet taste of freedom! Smells just like automobile exhaust and hamburger grease! Mmm hmmm, so wholesome and good for me! ^_^

Skuld is getting back home to Utah at about 4pm tomorrow. ^_^ Yay! She will go home, bum around, have dinner, and then probably head off to the goodness that is RotK. Booyeah. ^_^ Battle of Pelennor fields, go!

With all the goings on recently in the GuiltyGearYaoi mailing list...the clone has written a rant. Thank you, clone. ^_^

My clone is awesome.

If only my clone could study and take the 9.03 final for me tomorrow morning. ;_;

waka laka

Waka Laka's a thing to play forever
Just to be together
Waka Laka's a place to be forever
Waka Laka love and fantasy

See Waka Laka when you need a flight of fantasy
Ecstasy
Rhapsody
See Waka Laka when you want a love so tenderness
Waka Laka make you fly

See Waka Laka when you're going to feel so sad and blue,
Just for you, never blue
See Waka Laka and a funny bunny'll free your life
Now it's Waka Laka time

I wanna live
A brand new day
Go far away
To Waka Laka place
A Waka time
To feel so fine
A Waka Laka flight

Waka Laka's a thing to play forever
Just to be together
Waka Laka's so magical and tender
Musical and wonder fantasy

Waka Laka's a never ending story
Glory, glory, glory
Waka Laka's a place to be forever
Waka Laka love and,
Waka Laka love and,
Waka Laka love and fantasy

That was Skuld's mind on crack. Or rather her mind on hyper DDR songs. Talked with the Roni about our high school days. O_o;; Wow, we were so different back then. ^^;; From who we are now and from each other. It's very interesting. I'd say more, but my brain has melted from 9.03 studying.

Now it's time for me to sleep. =_=;; One more day to study, and then final on Monday morning, 9am. Room 56-154. Just to remind myself.

finals

| | Comments (4)

Studying for my final exam. O_o;; Whee?

Went to coffee with Maki last night. We had fun, too bad I couldn't take her to dinner at Harvard Square. ;_; *sniffles* Oh well, Pho Pasteur will have to wait another time. ^^;; *sweatdrops*

I'm listening to the GGXX Sound Alive concert...and totally wishing I was among the throng of screaming fangirls during "Holy Orders" and "Keep Yourself Alive II". *heart heart heart* Yeah, we know who the fangirls love. ^_~ There better be some screaming at Anime Boston from SolxKy fangirls other than me and Roni or I'm going to be sorely disappointed. ^_^;;

I think my Christmas shopping is actually finished, since the last present came in the mail last night. All right! ^_^ <3 <3 Now I just have to mail shit out to people. =_=;; wargh.

Mahou no Tobira

| | Comments (1)

In case you haven't noticed, I was really drunk about...oh...a little over 8 hours ago. ^^;; Went to Haldeman's at about 7pm, and didn't leave until quarter past 3am. ^^;; *sweatdrops* Fastest 8 hours of my life. O_o;; Seriously. I never thought that getting a whole bunch of writers together with wry senses of humour was going to be that cool. It totally owned. I got to know a lot of the people in my class better, and that was awesome. ^_^;; Antony was falling all over me, and was trying not to fall asleep on Rax's or Usman's lap. XD Or on Joe's couch.

Anyways, it was WAY COOL. Joe's a really nice guy, despite the fact that he hates my writing. XD Oh well. We're different, and I guess I'm willing to overlook that. *sigh* Still gonna get a crappy grade, but I suppose I can't really help that much. I just don't want a D. ;_;

Getting together with Maki tonight and taking her to Pho Pasteur for dinner. ^_^;; Then gonna head off to Sunset, and instead of drinking will partake in their wonderful root beer. ^_^;; Or maybe I'll just stay at home and study...because I think I really need to be doing that. O_o;; Oh well, that's what Saturday and Sunday's for, right? Nah, I've partied enough these past couple of days. =_=;; Now time to buckle down and study. *cries* Need that A in 9.03.

drunk as hell

| | Comments (1)

I have never been drunker than this in my entire life.
Damn, that wine has more bang than hard liquor. O_o;;
I know I'm getting a hangover now. Damn.

w00! Yesterday was the last day of classes! ^_^ w00! And Haldeman didn't hand my final chapters into me, so I have no idea whether or not I have a good grade. Ignorance is bliss, methinks. ^_^ Yay~!

Must study tonight. >.< STUDY STUDY STUDY. Final exam Monday morning. ;_; Eep. Must not get sick. For those of you who haven't gotten sick yet, I wish whatever headcold to come upon you swiftly. XD Because everyone gets sick around this time. =_=;; And let me tell you, last fall, getting a 101 degree fever the DAY BEFORE MY FIRST FINAL sucked. A LOT. >.<

=_=;; Party at Haldeman's tonight! Beer! Wine! Pizza! Hanging out! ^_^ Yaaaaaaaaaaay. Study breaks be good. :x I love it when I don't study. ^^;; Of course, my grades don't, but that's entirely a different matter. Nothing deep and thoughtful to talk about today, except I had an MTF in my dream. She dunked me underwater in a swimming pool, and I was unhappy and failed around a bit, and then went, "... oh my. ^_^"

a wee bit o' angst

| | Comments (2)

Where has my mind been tonight? Not with me apparently. I need to get started on my chapter response to Roni's Azure, but my mind just isn't entirely with it tonight. -_-;; I don't know why. Maybe there's something bothering me, or maybe I'm just feeling shitty. God, I hope I'm not sick. O_o;; Or maybe I hope I am. If I recall correctly last year, I wrote some pretty kick-ass fanfiction in my feverish delirium. Ah, and such began the long string of fucked up Seishirou & Subaru fics. ^_^;;

I'd like to try my hand at fucked up Sol & Ky fanfiction sometime...you know, things that are slightly off canon but still could be possible. Alternative viewpoints perhaps. Once in a while I get bored of my canon characters and decide they need a little twist. ^^;;

Tomorrow's the last day of class, but it seems I will have to be on campus for most of Thursday and Friday. =_=;; Oh well, that gives me a chance to study, undistracted by silly things like my computer. O_o;;

(But without nice things like my music. -_-;; Lugging around a CD player is such a pain in the ass. *sigh* But I have nothing else...so... ^^;; *sweatdrops* Guess you live with what you've got.)

So close to being break, and I can go home. ^_^ Being away from Boston and MIT does me wonders, really. Odd how all my muses reside in Utah. O_o;; Why'd they want to be there? Probably because there's no stupid things like work getting in the way. I pray for much ficcage this year. ^_^;;

I feel bad for not keeping in touch with my Utah friends. I do try, but perhaps we are content with drifting apart. Our interests are diverging, and it seems that despite my blog, they are unwilling to keep up in my life. I suppose that is all right with me.

Was sort of angsty today, especially during my library shift while I was talking with Ed over IM. We all have our little insecurities sometimes, and oftentimes mine come to the forefront when I find I have too much time on my hands to think about them. But you live each day as it comes I suppose, and if you're expecting something to happen in the indeterminate future, maybe it won't be too much of a surprise, though in truth, you are never prepared when bad things (or even the good things) happen.

Good luck to Ed who

Good luck to Ed who has his final tomorrow...(protein export and secretion... hahahahaha. XD)

I am basicall finished, I have a lot of work to be doing this week though. -_-;; Still gotta come into the library and all and maybe hang around lab too. O_o;; *urk* Oh my god, I so totally need to study. I cannot fail this final, it's my only one! >.< I suppose I'll just have to skip out on lab or something and say, "I REALLY HAVE TO STUDY!" >.<

Maki is coming to visit this weekend, so I'm taking a couple of hours out of my schedule to take her out to dinner. ^_^ Mmm, Pho Pasteur, so wonderful!

Fell asleep in 9.03 today, as usual, and dreamt of Gimli/Legolas slash. ^_^ Awwwww yeah. *drools all over the floor* That's what I'm talking about.

more Gimli/Legolas cuteness

| | Comments (0)

Skuld has found some Gimli/Legolas cuteness. The thing is, I know this chick from my futari-twins list (which I have now abandoned ^^;; *sweatdrops*). O_O;; oh my god, Gimli/Legolas fanart! ;____; And Skuld is the happiest person on earth. ^_^

Here are the linkies:


Cute as hell Gimli/Legolas snoggage
Chibi Legolas/Gimli. ;_; cuuuute.
Elladan, Elrohir, and Arwen, all chibi and so cute. ^___^
More of Elrond's kids. God, I'm such a sucker for twins.
Chibi Dancing Frodo. cuuuute.
More Chibi Legolas and Gimli. The cuteness will never end.
Legolas and Gimli Helm's Deep comic. And no, the cuteness never ever ends.

So much for sleeping tonight. O_o;; *fangirl fangirl fangirl*

And now, an amusing non-slashy story for you to read: Squirrels are evil. :E

I now have a Gimli/Legolas

| | Comments (2)

I now have a Gimli/Legolas poster in my closet. ^_^;; That's seriously the only place left in the room with any wall space. I actually have preciously little wallspace here in this room. *frowns* Hopefully, when I get the 1-1 next term (or whatever single I trade with Brian for with his happy Christmas lights) there will be more wall space...and room for more than one desk.

Roni and I traded some music today. O_o;; I think she is not particularly found of my favorite DDR songs with titles such as "Love Love Shine," "Love Love Sugar," "Candy," and "Mahou no Tobira." Such a pity. I doubt if she has interest in my closet Ace of Base fan-ness either. *laughs* But that's okay. I am not particularly educated in music outside of classical/renaissance, and interestingly enough, I'm okay with that. ^_^;; *retreats into the world of Dufay and Hildegard of Bingen*

That entry I made back

| | Comments (3)

That entry I made back there about yaoi was entry #69. Hahahahaha. *laughs*

Nothing to share, but a funny little moment:

Skuld: Can I have that poster in the upper right corner?
Poster guy: You mean the one with Legolas and Gimli together?
Skuld: ^___^ Yeah, the one with them together.

And I walked off with the biggest yaoi fangirl grin I've ever had on my face. Okay, maybe not the biggest, because I think I'd have an even bigger grin if I they were actually doing something in the picture other than looking like they were about to kill Orc...but..hey, yaoi fangirl gets what she can have. ^_^

And thanks to Tolkienfan!Alex, who has given me Morgoth's Ring one of the Histories of Middle Earth I have yet to read. ^_^ w00t.

Monday randomness

| | Comments (4)

O_o;; You don't want to know what Legolas and Gimli are doing in my head right now. I shall not elaborate because I'm at work.

I've had a very yaoi-ful weekend. Very, very yaoiful. First I go to Ko's place, where she entertains me with Get Backers, commando Ban, and lots of BeBoy Zips (I liked the "humongous class differences!" and the "hot caveman seXX0r!" ones, as well as the "Prince!" one. The shota one was kind of sketchy in a lot of places, and I never really saw any newlyweds in the newlywed one. O_o;; Oh well. Oh yeah, and hail Chitose Piyoko again. She rocks my socks ^_^).

Then that night, Ed mentions Gimli/Legolas, which set me on my search. O_o;; And boy, did I find some sweet shit. (See previous post.) They were sappy and cute, but most were well done and did a decent job of speaking like Tolkien, which really impressed me. And some of them were so sweet they made me cry. ;_; I'm sentimental when it's late.

Then on Sunday Ed writes me wonderful Sol/Ky pr0n (big kudos to Ed for doing that), I punt all my work for reading yet more Gimli/Legolas, and not to mention all the play that Roni and I have been doing... O_o;; Makes for a very yaoi-ful weekend, yes it does.

Now the poster people in the Student Center are selling LotR posters. O_o;; And they have one with just Legolas and Gimli on it. They're not doing anything slashy like in the Ban/Ginji poster (the only thing that could've made it more suggestive was if they had their clothes off), but hey, it's Gimli and Legolas! And Skuld's fangirl mind just does down the gutter. I have a feeling that I should restrain myself, but I know I'm not going to. -_-;; *sigh* Bad Skuld will have no money...but at least Bad Skuld will have a Gimli/Legolas poster.

EDIT: And now, to entertain you all, a band meme thing nabbed from Shoi. ^_^ *grin*

Gimli/Legolas slash

| | Comments (2)

Stayed up almost all night last night reading Gimli/Legolas slash. ^_^;; Finally found a place with decent fanfiction. O_o;; Sweeeeeet. I'm not the only one who sees Gimli/Legolas as incredibly canon. ^_^ *sticks tongue out at all the Aragorn/Legolas fans*

Okay, so I do admit that Aragorn/Legolas is more aesthetically pleasing, but you know, Gimli/Legolas is just...so there. O_o;; So totally there. It's more plausible; I find the concept of their relationship sweet, and I'm able to look past the unprettiness of Dwarf/Elf for that. ^_^ <3 <3 Maybe I'm just crazy. ¬_¬

We have heard tell that Legolas took Gimli Gloin's son with him because of their great friendship, greater than any that has been between Elf and Dwarf. If this is true, then it is strange indeed: that a Dwarf should be willing to leave Middle-earth for any love, or that the Eldar should receive him, or that the Lords of the West should permit it...

Awwwwww. ^_^ That's so sweet.

Ko's place

| | Comments (0)

Spent the entire day at Ko's place. O_o;; How did the time pass so quickly? Got there around 11:30, and stayed until 9:30pm. When I think back on it, all we did was talk, read BeBoy Zips, drool over yaoi doujinshi, play DDR, make pizza, and watch two episodes of Excel Saga. Man, that was fun though. ^_^;; I should hang out with Ko more often now. She feeds me and has DDR and lots and lots of yaoi-happy things. Like a really really suggestive Ban/Ginji poster. O_o;; They're all over each other in that poster. And when I say "all over," I mean, they're ALL OVER each other.

Hee hee. A day of fangirling and uh...trudging through 10" of snow. The latter part wasn't exactly the best, but the fangirl was definitely worth the trip and the long commute. ^_^ *lurves the Ko*

Ko's place and dinner

| | Comments (1)

Going to Ko's place today to hang out and play some DDR. We were going to try to make it across the bridge, but now we're not so sure that's a good idea. O_O;; So I'm making it over to Ko's place, praying that the B line won't fail me on the way over. *big sweatdrop*

Also gonna head over to MIT at 6pm because it's Uriel's birthday and he's bringing a mob with him. I have no clue when I'm going to be back home, but at the very latest 10pm. ^^;; There goes my entire day. -_-;;

So my DDR pads were supposed to come yesterday, and they did, but no one was at home to pick them up. *frowns* That makes me very unhappy. -_-;; Hopefully I'll have them on Monday. ;_;

dreaming my dreams

| | Comments (9)

I find that I tend to fight a lot better when: 1) I'm seeing my Volcanic Viper from a first person point of view, and 2) I happen to be dreaming at the time.

Had a weird dream last night involving Sol Badguy, Venom, Testament, Charm, ancient ruins, evil military empires, angsty Evanescence songs, and of course, Dance Dance Revolution. Unfortunately for all the craziness, I don't actually remember very much, just bits and pieces.

Now how me (as Sol) ended up with Venom and Testament in the midst of these rocky ancient ruins is beyond me. I swear I use LSD for a neurotransmitter when I'm asleep or something. So we get into this big fight for no apparent reason, other than we hate each other to death and want to beat the others into a pulp the consistency of orange juice. Going under them Venomy pink-balls-of-multiple-hit-death with a Grand Viper is lots of fun. Similarly is going from that right into a Volcanic Viper with the kickdown. That's pretty fucking sweet, even if I swear I must've thrown out my hip.

I don't remember much after that, except being back at base/HQ (wherever that was) chilling out with my friends, Charm most notably, when we decide that what we really need to make our lives complete is to play DDR. So we unpack the pads and spend a good couple of minutes wrestling with Stepmania to get it to work with us. It works, and we're happy, and we play happy DDR songs. ^_^ ("Love Love Sugar" owns me. It's the cutest song ever, very closely followed by "Mahou no Tobira.")

The next scene in my dream is me infiltrating this evil empire on the day of the marriage of its Prince. So here I am, crawling about roofs trying to get inside the Imperial Palace. My job is to kill the Emperor somehow. I don't remember much aside from climbing dark stairwells and crawling around roofs, but I end up in this vent right above the ceremony where instead of the traditional wedding march, they're playing "My Immortal" by Evanescence. (This is obviously the time in real life when my alarm went off.) And I get the weird effect seeing parts of the music video flash across my vision. Of course this distracts me, so I fall from the vent, and right into the guards who are waiting for me. Damn, mission failed.

Then "Going Under" starts, and start seeing the music video to that in my head, and I do remember thinking to myself, "Yeah, I'd like to have Amy-Lee-in-Going-Under-music-video make-up for Sol at Anime Boston. That would rock." And then I wake up, hit the snooze button, and go back to dreamless sleeping.

^_^ Be glad I'm not torturing you with the details of a second dream. O_o;;

Okay, go to Google right now.

type in:
"miserable failure"
and click the "I'm feeling lucky" button.

Do likewise with "weapons of mass destruction." ^_^

hahahahahaha.

survival

| | Comments (0)

I'M ALIVE!

That's right, I survived to be awake for 34 hours. I would have counted that 36, but I took some naps by crashing on the couches in the student center and in the tissue culture room of the lab. O_o;; But I got a nice good 10 hour sleep, studied a bit for my Japanese exam, went off to Japanese and bombed the test (it was HARD >.< *grumble*), and proceeded to whittle the rest of the school day away angsting when I wasn't in lab.

That's my day.

Oh, and Haldeman really hates my writing. He takes things a little too literally. Hey man, you can use the pathetic fallacy occasionally, you know. O_O;; Sheesh. Oh well, the other peoplein the class were interested in it, they thought it was decently cool and would like to see more, so I'm happy, even if Haldeman really doesn't like it. *shrugs*

I want my DDR pads to come now. RIGHT NOW. Please, let them be at home! *sobs* They need to be here so I can spend my last free weekend on earth doing something that keeps me (vaguely) physically fit that I actually enjoy. Besides, it's too cold outside for a game of volleyball.

everywhere

| | Comments (4)

Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you're here and who you are
'Cause every time I look
You're never there
And every time I sleep
You're always there

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone

And when I touch your hand
It's then I understand
The beauty that's within
It's now that we begin
You always light my way
I hope there never comes a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you so

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
It's you I breathe
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone

I be in a silly Sol-ish mood. I'm not sure if that's possible, but I feel that way nonetheless, because...

I pulled an all nighter! Go me! The sun is up and I'm scarily awake. I just hope I won't crash during lab today. =_=;; That's a huge possibility...that, or I'm going to crash in the middle of my writing class. I guess I can wuss out, tell them I have a meeting to go to at 8pm, so I have to go first. Then I can go home and sleep, and then get up at 4am to finish my homework or something. ^^;; *sweatdrops* Yeah, I think that's how it's gonna go tonight. Unless people are starting a money pool to see how long it takes before I fall sleep on my feet.

Oh, and for the record, Ed and I are scarily perverted in exactly the same ways. O_o;; This all started with his doujinshi giving us nasty ideas...¬_¬
-_-;; Someone should chain my brain to a wall or something to keep it from breaking out all medieval and making me a total hentai. Oh wait, too late. Nevermind.

Skuld = wuss

| | Comments (1)

I've been a wuss this term. I've attempted to pull all nighters no less than five times, and have never actually succeeded. A really all nighter is when you stay up all night, and then proceed to attempt to function the next day. You're not pulling an all nighter unless you go all the way until sundown. That's what Skuld will be doing tomorrow, (or rather, today) as it is Wednesday, and she's on campus at least until 10pm. I have a Japanese test on Thursday, and an oral exam to study for in about 9 hours. Yay? ^^;; No, not really. I want sleep. REALLY BADLY. But as shit is due, and I have taken to punting outrageously this term, I am pulling a real all-nighter. Even if I finish my work before I have to haul my ass off to campus, I am not sleeping. >.< NO SLEEP! I can pull all nighters like a good MIT student! O_o;; *makes fist*

Here are my classes for next term:

9.02 Brain Lab
(during which Skuld cuts up brains and does other fun things with them. This class is going to be my love-hate class, I know it already.)

9.09 Cellular Neurobiology
(I'll either love it or hate it. Probably the latter, but this seems a better choice than 9.10, so I'll have to live with it.)

9.70 Social Psychology
(droppable should I get too busy.)

21F.506 Advanced Japanese II
(during which the country of Nippon gets to assrape me with its language)

21F.016 Alternative Cinema: Male Homosexuality in International Film
(assrape, possibly, but in a good way, though still possibly done by the country of Nippon. O_o;; Except this kind of assrape will keep me sane. ^^;;)

Five classes. Plus research with Schneider, plus job at library. I think I'm going to die next term.

In the meantime, I have 36 cans of Mountain Dew downstairs to keep me up all night, and all of tomorrow. Whee!

Same old, same old. Slept through 9.03 again. *snooze* Workshopping chapters of my novel in class tomorrow. We're pretty nasty. I want to see nasty things they say about MY work. First of which is probably going to be, "This is silly/stupid/ridiculous." Uhh...thanks? ^^;;

One more addendum to Skuld's Sacred Rules of Cosplay.

6. Use corrugated cardboard very sparingly. Which means, if at all possible, not at all. Cardboard =! armor.

Now for social blogging.

Venom appears be have taken on the task of cosplaying Seikishidan Sol. My advice to you: keep Skuld's Sacred Rules of Cosplay in mind. And if you're not up to the par of my cosplay standards, I'm going to have to beat you. With my two-by-four. (And give you several verbal lashings. ^_^ How I love verbal abuse. XD)

Good luck to Ed, who has had his first med school interview. May there be many more to come, including Harvard.

Kudos to Tsaiko, who has survived her family reunion. Being Chinese, I don't really have family reunions the way that Americans seem to traditionally have, but I feel your pain anyway. *hugs, from one of those "damn sinning lesbians."*

Cocoa, let me know when you're coming in for Christmas shopping, 'cause it'd be awesome hang out. I'll have my DDR pads by then, and we can stop off at my house and play DDR for hours on end. Hopefully this will not occur during the weekend immediately preceding Finals week.

Amberlee, holy shit woman. O_O;; Holy. Elf Sternberg writing you e-mail and calling "Slavery" hot is like God giving you an e-mail and thinking you're hot. Okay, slightly different, but still. Hot damn! O_o;; That just plain fucking rules. *big huggles*

Omi, remember that if you ever need to talk, I'm here for you. Though we aren't together anymore, I still like to think of us as good friends. Hope you get through this Cellie thing okay, and you go get yourself smashed this weekend.

^_^ *hugs*

That's a pretty sweet Seikishidan Sol. I have yet to see anyone cosplay him. I regret to inform the cosplay community that I will not be donning the Holy Order uniform for either ACen or Anime Boston, and since I am going to Japan, you will not be seeing it there either. However, at AniBos 2005, Seikishidan Sol, should I still be so persuaded, is a possibility. Nice costume, but the guy violates one of Skuld's Sacred Rules of Cosplay.

**FANFARE**

Skuld's Sacred Rules of Cosplay

1. DO NOT USE ALUMINIUM FOIL! Even on your swords! Why? Because it's GHETTO! Soooooo ghetto! >.< I don't even stoop down to those levels when I'm desperate!

2. DO NOT USE VISIBLE DUCT TAPE! Structural duct tape, and sticky duct tape, if not seen by the observer is okay. There is one exception to the visible duct tape rule, and that is if some part your costume is supposed to made of duct tape. I point to Mark, who has a duct tape trench coat.

3. If you are male, you should never seriously consider cosplaying Sailor Moon or any female wearing a seifuku. No, really. There was this 80 year old guy with bow legs, white hair, and wrinkly skin walking around Otakon2003. My mind has not yet recovered from the shock. Please, spare our brain cells and our retinal ganglion, and don't BLIND US!

4. Get a wig cap. No really, it looks really stupid if your wig is falling off and showing your real hair. If you have any doubts about your wig staying snug on your head, get a wig cap. It'll look like you're wearing pantyhose on your head, but that's covered up by the wig anyway. O_o;;

5. When you leave your room for the con, always make sure you have the following on your body, or one of your friends does:
a) scissors, b) fabric glue, c) a soldering iron, and d) safety pins.

Okay, just kidding. "a" pokes you and is annoying, and "c" is an inside joke, but make sure you always have fabric glue AND safety pins. You have no clue how handy they are. I cosplayed Legato. (*snerk* Yet another inside joke for those of you who knew what HELL I went through in my four hour stint as Legato Bluesummers at Otakon.) I know. O_o;;

And now, for something completely different.

Hahahaha! *cackles* and so right it is!

good news

| | Comments (7)

Good news came into Skuld today while she was at lab (discussing nasty lab politics, we'll leave it alone and pretend I didn't mention it)! ^_^

Skuld is going to Japan for sure this summer! She's going to be working at Osaka University in their Cognitive Neuroscience department! ^_^ Yay, Skuld'll be in Japan! w0000t! *dance dance dance*

Of course, with the Osaka-ben, I won't be able to understand anything anyone says, but I don't care. Skuld will be in JAPAN~! JAPAN! Where she will go to Comiket, buy lots of yaoi, take lots of pictures, and go to dinner with her friends in Osaka! (Of which there may sadly not be very many. -_-;;)

Oh well. ^_^ JAPAN! w00000!


...and yes, I will be everyone's merchandise/yaoi doujinshi/manga bitch. ^_^ Just as long as you pay the shipping. >.<

Not Ed

| | Comments (1)

Just in case everyone didn't already know...

I AM NOT ED!

This is very confusing on the Guilty Gear forums, as Ed goes by "Skuld no Shinpu" (Skuld's priest), which often just gets abbreviated to "Skuld." I am "Skuld-chan" often gets abbreviated to "Skuld." =_=;; See the problems here? Okay, so I know that we're clones and everything, we're so similar we might as well be the same person, but we actually are different. No really, we're different people who are scarily the same. O_o;;

Get it? Skuld-chan = Seishuku Skuld (me), Skuld no Shinpu = Ed.

Simple enough, right? Right. Now back to your regularly scheduled blogness.

Roni has finished Azure, and it is absolutely beautiful. Now I have to write a Sol follow up to it. ^_^ Will probably debut sometime in December when I am scrambling to study for finals. Figures, December always means fic month for me. Or at least it did last year. I pray for the same this year. ^^;; Anyway, go read Roni's fic if you're into SolxKy, or just Ky in general. ^_^ *lovelove*
