Long overdue.

Complaints are not being accepted at this time.

So I get a message from this production company on my artist myspace earlier asking me to open for a band called, "Killing Red Addiction," a Japanese band that apparantly features member(s) from X Japan. o_O The show's in May at the Whiskey-a-go-go in LA, apparantly.

First off, has anyone actually heard of this band? I mean, the only member of X I could see logically being in it would be Heath, right?
@_@ Regardless of whether this band is real or not, I'm sure the offer is a scam. I kinda lol'd when I read it. xD Please do let me know about killing red addiction if anyone's heard of them, however, I'm curious now. o.o

Also, I recently cut my hair- it's the shortest it's ever been. =O It's so strange. xD It kinda looks like Trowa's hair now, though, so I'm happy.

In other news, I have a sore on the inside of my lip and the inside of my right eye is swollen.  o_x  Happy Easter.

Okay. So I ttly just saw someone parachute into a boxing ring on t.v... Don't ask why I was watching boxing, it just kinda happened. Boxing is stupid, btw. >.< But he just kind of... drifted in and crash landed into the audience next to the ring. ...Weird.

Anyways, currently at my grandparent's in front of two different computers doing ten different things at the same time.   I tried to teach my Grandpa how to play Duel Monsters earlier, but he had a WTF MY BRAIN HURTS half way through my explanation of monster cards and how to attack your opponant.  Needless to say, we ended playing no children's card games.  frowny face.  But yes, currently cistening to Gravitation music and searching for pictures of Miya/Kaoru to print out to show the dude that cuts my hair what I want. Yiss, I'm getting an uber boy cut for the first time ever. I'm really starting to put a lot of effort into transitioning. I can't tell you how much the "Thank you, miss," and "Come again, ma'am,"s are pissing me off. I'm quite done with it. I really want to start T, but I don't have the money for a therepist, I have no insurance and I don't know anyone I could acquire it illegally from. =( lol

Anyways, I've been playing Gaia lately, and my avatar has given me inspiration for a character I've created. I don't know if I'll ever write anything about him, but he would fit into the Yuu Yuu Hakusho universe or maybe even InuYasha. He's like a dragon-person. @___@ Whatever. He looks super cool. XD So yes, I drew him today and coloured him. (on photobucket XD) I also drew some Yuugiou crap, mostly the main three cards I use in my deck. Both pics are below! =D


( You know you want to~~<3 )


I've also been officially exposed to this season's American Idol contestants.  I like Adam What'shisname and Megan Joy Something.  If you haven't heard them yet, Look up Adam's version of "Ring of Fire" and "Satisfaction" and Megan's "Walking After Midnight" and "Black horse and the Cherry Tree"  I love Adam's creativity on the first and he just plain blew me away on Satisfaction; Megan sounds very soulful and New Orleans bluesy.  =D

I seem to do this, don't I?  I go forever without posting then I type up a monster post all of the sudden to make up for it...  XD  Oh well, I'll stop now and give your f-lists some peace.  

By the way, Ikuni- I'll be back tomorrow after lunch.  If you guys want to go see the movie when your mom gets off of work, that'll work for me. =D

Today... I got the gift of greenery.  (Try saying that five times fast)  Technically, I didn't get any NEW plants today, but I am bringing all of my plants home with me from my grandparent's house.  I miss my babies!  T^T

This morning, my grandparents, along with my mother, picked me up so we could all go out to eat for my birthday.  We ended up dining at PF Chang's, which is a really nice Chinese Restaurant, but was surprisingly cheap.

Anyways, on the way back to my grandparent's house, we stopped and bought a flower pot so I could re-pot my Sansevieria plant:
( plant 1 )
His name is Amando, and he is nowhere NEAR as tall as the above picture yet, but despite his "supposed" slow growth rate, he has shot up like a weed since I bought him last year.  The only thing holding him back was the size of his pot, since after his initial growth spurt (and subsequent collision with the sides of the pot), he immediately ceased growing.  Well, upon unrooting him, I discovered why.  His root system was wrapped around the inside of the pot several times over, like a giant cobweb.  T^T  My baby wanted out!  lol  Anyways, he's happily sitting in a new 5" pot now with room to grow.  =D


( plant 2 )
Also, ^ my Jade Plant, Yui, ^ has been behaving strangely lately, dropping leaves and snapping almost completely at the base, so I'm trying something out.  I cut a couple clippings from her, and right now they're soaking in a cup of water.  I'm going to take them back as they are, so when they begin to root, I'll plant them and attempt to grow them out, instead of up, since I think her main problem was too much weight.  =O  Hopefully this works.  I don't want to lose her.

Lastly, my Night Blooming Cereus, a.k.a. Dutchman's Pipe, a.k.a. "Epiphyllum Oxypetalum" has practically expolded since the last time I saw him, and when I say "exploded" I mean as in an explosion of tentacles and fibers and other weird shit- Naraku style.  =D  I've even decided to name him Naraku, since I couldn't think of anything suitable when I first got him.  Anyways, I acquired him as a clipping from a 100 year old mother plant, but I've never really taken the time to learn about him.  So today, I looked him up and OMGWTF.  xD  He's so weird.  These things can grow to be as tall as a tree or a house, if they have one to climb on, up to maybe nine feet tall alone.  (Don't worry, Ikuni, he's nowhere NEAR that tall yet and it takes years and years for them to reach those heights xD)  Anyways, the kind I have comes from Central America and parts of Asia (I think he's related to the monster from "The Ruins") but the coolest thing about them, is their flowers.

These guys bloom only once a year (typically, depending on how fickle the plant is and where it's located) usually on a midsummer's night.  And I do mean night.  Once the pods are ready to bloom, they start opening at around nine or ten in the evening and reach their peak at twelve to three a.m.  Then, they close up and die just after sunrise.  The flowers are HUGE and white, and grow directly off the sides of the leaves in standard tentacle form.  The flowers are extremely fragrant as well, like, LEGENDARY, apparantly.  People have parties strictly for watching the blooming of one. And you CAN watch it too.  From what I've read, the pods twitch and sway as they open, and it happens so rapidly that you can see it bloom.  xDDD  I am SO excited.  Naraku is so kickass it hurts.  Picture!spam helps j00 see why:
( plant 3 )
/tentacle monster spam

Anyways, sorry I got so carried away with this post.  -3-  I've been researching this thing for the past couple hours, so you get the end result!  =D

I got to play in dirt today.  :O  I is happy.


[PS: All of the above pics are NOT mine.  I found them on teh photobucket  >o> ]

 Happy Birthday, me.

I think I'm going to go watch Yusuke beat the crap out of shit.

 Okay, so I just did 25 sit-ups, 10 push-ups and 50 jumping jacks.  Lack of exercise has always been an issue with me, and it also heavily fuels depression and stress.  

So I figure I'm actually going to try doing this every day from now on.  I'm tired of always feeling so out of shape and lethargic.  Yaaay, execrise.  I already feel quite a bit better.  =)

 Okay, so I can't take the entire credit for writing this.  I think I read it in some joke book that my grandparents had way back when.  I just changed all the names and fixed the grammatical errors.

Anyways, it's still pretty funny regardless of whether you're into YGO or not, but itf you are a fan, it's just that much better.  xD  

 

( Yuugiou Therapy Session... )

 

 1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me!" 
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions. 
3. You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your blog or journal. 
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post. 
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. And thus the endless cycle of the meme goes on and on and on and on... 

Questions from Ikuni:
1. I know there are a lot of reasons, but if you had to pick ONE MAIN REASON why you hate 4Kids, what would it be?
OH MY FUCKING RA.    Let's see....  If I had to pick just one, it would probably be the excessive editing, namely that of Malik and Bakura's childhoods.  D:  Fail, 4kids, FAIL.  
2. L vs. Bakura: who would win?  
Well, as we have discussed, Bakura is one of the few people whom I think could actually defeat Light, so by that same effect he would also beat L.  =D
3. Which would you rather: bad dub, or no dub and shit subtitles?
No dub and shit subs.  In a heartbeat.  I know enough Japanese to at least get the gist of what's going on, and the subs at least keep me on the right track, even when I have to translate Kaiba's name from "Seahorse" every time personally.  
4. Baby!Atem vs. Baby!Malick: who is cuter?
As much as Malik is my all time favourite anime character, I have to admit that baby!Atem wins the cute grand prize.  <33
5. Just for shits and giggles: The chances of S.K.I.N. ever getting released are...?
-______-;;  1/523489879???  Something like that.

If you want to see another good abridged series besides littlekuriboh's and inuyashaabridgedftw, you definitely need to see this one.  They have about 7 episodes up along with other random crap like this.  I <3 these guys so hard.  XD






On a personal note, I saw my dad and my brothers today for the first time in like, two years.  Very awkward, but otherwise pleasant.  It didn't go half as badly as I was expecting.  My brothers all look exactly the same, although Ethan has apparantly undergone puberty and now sounds like a teenager.  o___O  He doesn't look any different though, which is weird.  lol

 I wish these were real cards....  xDD  Made by yours truly with help on some by Ikuni the MAGNIFICENT.  <33

Okay, so I just did a massive friends cut.  I think I removed like, 21 people.  @__@

Anyways, most of the people I removed are old school friends who no longer update or whom I no longer like, fanfiction authors whom I do not know personally (I have a new fanfiction journal, so if I really liked your work, I'll probably add you there.) and comms I no longer watch/post to.  Therefore, as far as most people are concerned, I don't hate you or anything.  I'm just tidying up a bit.  If you feel you were cut in error or if you just HAVE to be on my f-list, comment me and I'll probably add you back.  I say probably because there are some people I just don't want on my f-list anymore, but for the most part, like I said, nothing personal.  =)

I've been meaning to do this for like, a year or so, so hurray.  I feel productive. :D

Sorry to spam you with two posts in a row, but.......  XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD



*wheezes*

 Okay, so I'm the biggest dumbass ever, officially.  I was somehow shanghaied into clicking on this link: www.instituteforhumancontinuity.org/ and for a brief couple of minutes I ALMOST believed that this was a real organisation.  >.>

...Feel free to mock me, tease me, whatever.  I ttly almost bought it.  Until I saw the bits about the space colonies and the lunar base.  I'm sure that we'll enter a Gundam-like era one day, but there's no way the government could have managed to hide whole space colonies without some kind of leak before now.  o__O  
Anyways, I clicked on the terms of use or whatever and it turns out that the site is part of Sony Pictures.  So maybe this is going to be some new movie???  The whole lottery thing really creeped me out, it reminded me of some whacked out sci-fi movie so maybe that's what we'll be getting.  Hmm.  I think I'm rambling.  Seriously, my brain has retired for the evening.  I'm so just spaced out right now, if you'll excuse the lame pun.  @___@

And just for the record, WHAT THE HOLY FUCK ARE OUR UPSTAIRS NEIGHBOURS DOING????  It sounds like giant mecha robots are fighting to the death up there.  Seriously, I think we've actually been teleported into the world of gundam and I just wasn't informed at all.  @___@

ps: I tried the bouffant look today.  'Twas quite gay.  Almost as gay as Ryou Bakura's sweater.  

 I felt the need to do this after reading Sakuya's post.  =P   I love astrology, I really do.
So here's my astrological/chinese zodiac info:

 .....I find it intensely funny that last night, on a whim, I decided to update my bio and include a passage about how I detest drama and rumour-mongering and how I think that lj is like the girl's locker room of JRock fandom and I want no part in it, then this morning I discover an ex friend has accused me of getting on jrockanon, of all places, and spreading nasty rumours about him.
...Does this make sense to ANYONE?

-__-;  First of all, E, as I have mentioned to you several times (once when you accused me of the same fucking thing) I DON'T GET ON JROCKANON UNLESS SOMEONE LINKS ME THERE, USUALLY YOU, AND EVEN THEN I NEVER POST.  I THINK IT'S STUPID.  I DON'T LIKE DRAMA.  I DON'T LIKE RUMOURS.  IF YOU STILL CAN'T UNDERSTAND THIS, THEN YOU KNEW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT ME AT ALL.  Jesus.  So first of all, I did not write it.  I have more important things to do, and I know plenty of other ways to have fun.  I don't need to slander anyone or make fun of someone to get my kicks.  Hell, I could be getting laid, watching a movie, playing second life, seeing a concert.  All of those are more fun than wasting my time anonymously obsesing over you.  Sorry, hun.

Second, your computer.  I told you, I'm back in Kentucky.  You know who has your computer, and I'm pretty sure you have his phone number.  I believe he was doing you a FAVOR when he took it by making sure you didn't lose it when you became homeless.  He said he'd bring it to you when he was in LA if you had a place to live, so now that you say you've found a place, call him.  But I DON'T HAVE IT.

Secondly, the money.  I do feel bad for that, but A.) You gave it to me of your own free will, I even told you you didn't have to.  You said don't worry about it, you had enough to give.  I remember that clearly.  B.) I was actually planning on paying you back when I was planning on moving in with you, obviously.  But, if you recall, you never got an apartment like you said you would and ended up homeless and on the streets.  Secondly, YOU WERE DOING DRUGS AROUND MY FRIEND'S TEN YEAR OLD WHEN YOU PROMISED ME THAT NOTHING ILLEGAL WOULD COME INTO THE HOUSE.  I told you before that I would leave if you brought drugs into an apartment I was staying with you in.  I think I made a pretty wise decision in not staying with you in Los Angeles, correct me if I'm wrong.

In conclusion, E, out of all the people who have decided against being your friend, I find it almost hilarious that I'M the one you decide is responsible for all the hatred you've been shown.  Actually, I would find it funny if I weren't so disappointed.

Also, as a side note, Congratulations, Barack Obama!!!!!  Bush is back in Texas!!!  T^T  I'm so happy~~

And guess what?  I now have like, 30 Japanese tv channels on my computer.  o___O  Sweet.  NHK is apparantly on there, but it's not really working.  SONY Japan and Oh!sama are though. ^^  

EDIT: Forgot to tag people.  @___@  I really want Ikuni and Sakuya to do this  Anyone else can feel free. ^^

 Kira is dead to me.
