Day 24 | Whatever tickles your fancy

So I found this in drive_mah_car, my art/writing journal which everyone should friend, so I'm posting it here:

Crowley: Azriphale.
Azriphale: Yes?
Crowley: Is it working?
Azriphale: I, uh, I believe so?
Azriphale: Is it supposed to be doing this?
Crowley: Yes
Azriphale: Then I'd think it's safe to assume it's working.
Crowley: good.
Azriphale: That should be capitalized, really.
Crowley: should it
Azriphale: ...Yes.
Azriphale: It should.
Crowley: thats nice
Azriphale: Crowley, I know you can write. Type. Correctly.
Crowley: but doin it this way is easier rite
Azriphale: No, it isn't! You use this godforsaken machine exponentially more than I do, you have to be able to type better than I can!
Crowley: y
Azriphale: Excuse me?
Crowley: y
Azriphale: Crowley, I haven't the faintest idea why you're typing the letter 'y' at me.
Crowley: ....say it
Azriphale: ...All right? I've said it? I know how to pronounce it!
Crowley: why
Azriphale: ...Oh.
Azriphale: I see, now.
Azriphale: ...That is appalling laziness, you know that, right?
Crowley: Sloth?
Azriphale: Oh. Yes.
Crowley: ^^
Azriphale: What does that one mean?
Crowley: it's like...a face...sort of
Azriphale: What do you mean, it's a face?
Crowley: like the eyes
Crowley: A sort of smile.
Azriphale: I...will take your word for it.
Crowley: Like
Crowley: ^_^
Azriphale: There...is a space between them now?
Crowley: it's a mouth
Azriphale: I still don't think I understand. But alright.
Crowley: You lack creativity
Azriphale: You lack punctuation.
Crowley: touche
Azriphale: So, what did you want to talk about? That required these methods?
Crowley: IDK
Crowley: just wanted to talk
Azriphale: IDK?
Crowley: I don't know
Azriphale: You don't know what?
Crowley: ....it's...nv-nevermind
Azriphale: This is the least conducive to communicating form of communication...ever.
Crowley: We could be texting
Azriphale: What is texting?
Crowley: sending messages on cell phones
Azriphale: Aren't cell phones for speaking to one another? What kind of messages?
Crowley: like...I'll show you nect time we meet up
Azriphale: I...alright.
Azriphale: You know I don't have a cell phone, right?
Crowley: ...really?
Crowley: I shouldn't be surprised
Azriphale: Why would I need one?
Crowley: You need one to survive
Azriphale: I..actually seem to be doing reasonably well without one?
Crowley: You're not
Azriphale: How am I not?!
Crowley: You're not
Azriphale: ...
Crowley: ur not

Crowley is me, Azriphale is blushingdolphin, and I'm pretty sure we just did this utterly unplanned and spontaneously.

Wasabi prep is 95% done~!

\o/

There's still some details here and there to take care of, but if we showed up with what's done now, I'd feel fine with things.

That was pretty much my weekend. Good weekend, but busy getting all that done. AND WE'RE ALMOST DONE WITH SEASON 2 OF LOST~!

Day 20 | A hobby of yours

So it was hard figuring out something that counted as a hobby (And wasn't rp or reading which I feel has been talked enough about)

So...COSPLAY~!

So my VERY first cosplay was the little mermaid. When I was like...4. I made my mom buy and paint real sea shells.

My first anime cosplay was a SWEET ASS Sailor Moon costumes I did in 7th grade. It was SO awesome. The next year was Princess Serenity (Which was also pretty sweet)

It wasn't until I was in high School that I learned what Cosplay was. My first "Official" cosplay was Quatre Winner from Gundam Wing, and was pretty sweet, all things considered. Like I didn't know wtf I was doing.

I have done some really cool cosplays, and some really crappy cosplays, and some REALLY crappy cosplays. I have started to aim towards the "perfecting a few" as oppose to the "doing as many as freaking possible."

And I generally aim towards as much realism as possible, designing things for how they'd look in real life, as oppose to exactly mimicking the source. The right kind of fabrics, accessories, etc. I get a lot of things from thrift stores, piece things together with real articles of clothing whenever I can.

Day 17 | An art piece (painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.)

Oh lordy, I could go on about art all day long. Hook me up with a volume of Garner's and we can have some fun times.

I'm going to go with sculpture, because I feel that is something I can't do for shit:



This statue of Nike is just so freaking graceful, and beautiful, even headless. The quality of the sculpture from that time period is freaking MINDBLOWING, and I love and admire it so much.



I love Degas art, I love the way he captures the feel of being on stage/backstage so well. And when I was a little girl I wanted to be a prima ballerina SO FUCKING BAD. And then I got tits.

I don't hate modern sculpture, and I'm sure if I racked my brain hard enough something would come to mind that I absolutely adore (Like the foxes at the Art Museum) but so much modern sculpture has been like "OH! Shapes!" and I stopped thinking piles of colored shapes were awesome in about 2nd grade.

AND the car is fixed. it was about $400, and still needs a bit of work from "Our" car guy. But I'm home, with a running car again.

I was also just like "I need an art ico-SPAAAAARTA!!!!!"

Day 15 | A fanfic

Ok, so I don't....ok I lie. I didn't read lots of fanfic. But I have TOTALLY been reading Supernatural fanfic.

So. this is a fanfic where Dean gets turned into a female by an angry goddess thing, IDK. But it's REALLY well written. That author I think is one of the best fanfic authors I've read, and definetly her two gender bending ones. This one is particularly good at how a guy would react to being a girl, and is not...played for laughs, or fluff, or random nonsensical porn.

And these are Sam writing drunk letters to Stephen King and are fucking HILARIOUS. OMG. You don't need to have read the books being mocked, just know the general context (I.E. Christine is about a killer car, Cujo is about a rabid dog)

So. There you are.

I figure most people on here I probably so private roleplays with but there it is!

Also, Happy Valentines Day all my lovelies! I meant to do art but....have not really be able to do much of anything sans school and prep for Wasabi.

Day 13 | A fictional book

I was gonna do Uglies, which is in fact an AWESOME book, but due to the holiday, I'm going to recommend Francesca Lia Block as a whole. Her books are this...surreal, and beautiful, this sorta of....fantasy with out it being a big deal about it being fantasy. Most are set in LA, but her LA is...beautiful. It like she sees LA through this magical lens...everything she sees is correct, but she just makes it gorgeous. My three favorite, that I recommend you check out:

Dangerous Angels/Necklace of Kisses: This is actually...7 books. Dangerous Angels is 6 novella's that you can buy as separate books as well (Weetzie bat being the first), and it's about this girl Weetzie and her best friend Dirk, who she's in love with. Dirk tells her he's gay, and they set out to find their "Ducks". Weetzie gets a genie lamp to rub, and makes a wish that she'll find her "Secret Agent Lover Man" and Dirk will find his "Duck." The whole book is about this family made with love, that's all patch worked together.

Necklace of Kisses is about the fact that, after 9-11, Secret Agent Love Man is horribly depressed, so Weetzie leaves, to find herself, and their love. She stays at this old Hollywood Hotel, and interacts with all the people there who are all like...one is a Mermaid who's been made miserable by the plastic surgery she dealt with to be human, etc. She gathers all their kisses, and they all heal each other.

I made that sound REALLY sappy, but it's actually really good. And if you know me IRL, I have Dangerous Angels

I was a Teenage Fairy: Is about a girl, Barbie, who's mother has forced her into being a childhood model. She had a best friend who is a small fairy named Mab, and you're never sure if Mab is real, or something she made up to help cope. She and another teenage model, who's dealing with the fact he is in love with his best friend (Who is in turn in love with Barbie) are bother working to pieces themselves together.

Ecstasia Is not an urban fantasy. It is straight up fantasy. It's about a band in a world where you live in this paradise party city, Elysium, but the day you start aging, you have to go live "under" which is full of people waiting to die, drugs, and general misery. The drummer in the band, Rafe, has fallen in love with Lily, who is a drug addict going under to escape her misery. Paul, the lead singer, is in love with him, and trying to save him from going under as well. It's really good, a really, REALLY diffrent take on the story of Orpheus.

A real post later maybe.

Day 11 | A photo of you taken recently

I got to see my Toni Toni ♥

And and and

In front of the Deathnote manga at B+N, someone had left an apple. It was awesome.

Also, the X-men manga is a pure example of why comic fans hate manga. X-men=/=reverse Harem anime. Kurt=/=Reno (Although I love them both). Magneto is so not a bishy.

I want the dark tower like whoa. I can get all 4 volumes, hardcover for like...$60 on Amazon. DO WANT. Bert had girl hair.

AND I got like every movie in the world to watch :3

Day 05 | Your favourite quote

Holy fuck I was not looking forward to this.

Ok, my icon is one of my favorite quotes. But out of context I don't think it makes a ton of sense (Although I'm biased because I HAVE the context). Does it?

The second is, and this is not a perfect quote, and I forgot who's quote it IS but:

"No matter what you see, the universe is going exactly as it should."

Which is sorta my mentality. When life is going badly, I just close my eyes and remember that even if *I* can't see it, even if my life gets TOTALLY screwed, the universe is bigger then me. I don't believe God has a plan laid out for every person to be happy, obviously, but I believe on a larger scale existence is meant to go benevolently.

I also have NO idea how large a scale it is. So if we get pulverized tomorrow by a meteor...obviously larger then earth.

AND last is the big huge quote in my userinfo. It's a character I actually pretty thoroughly dislike in American Gods (I don't care enough to hate her, but she struck me as a total trying to hard tool), but the quote I relate to a lot. Go figure.

Also, does anyone know how to access the "My dictionary" on firefox? Cause if not, you will never see me spell exactly right again.

Also, I love "The thief is not sorry he is a thief, but sorry to have been caught."
