Wow! Its been awhile
2008-01-14 23:30:58
Well, Hope everyone had a good holiday, since I haven't posted since before then. >.> So, spent Christmas in NJ with my family. Got some anime from Rafe (Gankutsuou box set, InuYasha season 4 box, and the limited edition FFVII:AC box.), Hello Kitty pajamas from my mom(in addition to Transyberian Orchestra), a bunch of gift cards (with which I got the FMA 2008 calendar, "Son of a Witch" by Gregory Maguire, "Halloween Tree" by Ray Bradbury, a low carb cook book, a pair of jeans and a couple shirts), and money from my grandparents (with which I got the disks from InuYasha, Vandread, and Hellsing that I was missing.). So, we came back to MD for the rest of the week, then went back to NJ for New Years. My aunt and her bf ended up coming over. And I made really awesome stromboli, and we all drank and played board games. Then we came back here, and yeah. Here I am.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, getting back to editing. Trying to get all my MEP segments done so I can do a vid for Otakon. Almost done SOAD2. Rainbow Cotton is the next on my list, followed by Undercover and Rap, as well as Odd Pair and Darkness & Grief. Then whatever's going on with Ill Nino. Then I should be done with MEPs for awhile (Unless Chevelle is still going to be started at some point.), and I might actually be able to get some decent vids out this year. (And will finally be able to do the vid I have planned for Otakon, which should be epic if I can get it to come out right. :P)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So speaking of Otakon, Rafe and I live about 10 min from Baltimore, and he's decided this year to let a couple Otakon-goers stay with us. So, he'd rather it be people we're friends with here, but if someone who is known and trusted around here really needs a place to stay for Otakon, that should be ok too. But its being opened up first to friends of either of us. If anyone fitting the above criteria needs a place to stay for Otakon and is interested, shoot me (or Immorrel) a pm.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, the cats are getting along better now. When we first got Malcolm, Rafe's new cat, he was very cuddly. Then we took him to NJ and he met the other cats. He did not like that at all. Him and Abi never did like each other. (But they're both the tiny, big haired cats.) Haagen is the boss cat anyway, so he was really pretty indifferent to Malcolm. Pepe, I guess at first, thought the fuzzy cats were invading and had a problem with both Malcolm and Abi. Then he patched things up with Abi and tried to be friendly with Malcolm, but Malcolm was having no parts of that. We brought him and Pepe back to MD, and Malcolm still didn't like Pepe. Then we went back to NJ. Malcolm was starting to warm up to Pepe, but still had a problem with the other cats. Now, with Pepe and Malcolm here in MD, they're getting along great. They both seem to have that friendly but doofy personality. And are both very playful. So they're constantly tearing around the apt.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VCA's. I guess I haven't been paying close attention, so I'm really kinda clueless as to who/what to nominate. I'll probably end up going on a mad downloading spree at some point to prepare. O.o
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its no longer Christmas. I need to do another prof pic/forum av. I should do a new desktop wallpaper as well. As sexy as Yoru is, he's been up there for awhile. :P
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ugh! Cats getting into everything. :S
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I made chicken alfredo stromboli the other night. It was really yummy. Making a chicken and ham cassorole tomorrow night. *^_^*
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know I'm probably forgetting a lot, but I think I'm going to stop now. Have fun! *^_^* -
KITTY!!!!! *^_^*
2007-12-15 03:37:14
Rafe and I are getting one. *^_^* We went to the animal shelter on Tuesday and looked at cats. There were 2 that we liked. A female grey/white callico shorthair that Rafe really liked and a black, medium haired male that I really liked. (Well, we both liked them both, but we each had our favorite between the two. The female, Lexi, was really playful and had attitude while the male, Malcom, was more calm and friendly.) Well, it's ultimately Rafe's cat, so it was his decision in the end. So he chose Lexi, and put an application in on her. Well, there was one more applicant ahead of us, and they got her. But we had said when putting the application in that if we didn't get Lexi that we'd like Malcom. So, there were no other applications in for him, so we're getting him. We go in for the interview Tuesday, though Rafe is going to try to get it moved up to Monday, since he just found out he has off. YAY!!! KITTY!!! Though it should be interesting, Christmas weekend and New Years weekend, we're bringing him with us to NJ. And bringing Pepe back with us as well. So it should be interesting to see how everyone reacts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, Rafe and I were supposed to go to dinner and a movie yesterday, but then it was that time, and I tend to feel like complete shit on the 1st day. So he said that we could just sit in, order a pizza and watch anime tonite and go out tomorrow. So I decided to go with that, so that I could actually enjoy it. Not sure what we're going to go see, but eh. It doesn't matter. I'll be out with my RafeRafe!!! *^_^*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Was supposed to go to NJ, but the weather's supposed to be shitty. So we go next weekend for Christmas! *^_^* WHEEE!!! Only 10 days til Christmas. . . And til I get to find out what is in the Corner Store box behind the couch. O.o (Rafe's present to me.) Well, got all my shopping done and everything wrapped. YAY!!! Now nothing left to do but to wait. *^_^*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Talked to my mom today. I told her about my OCD cleaning spree, and immediately she asks if I'm pregnant. O.o Considering the reason I took the past couple days off from cleaning, I'm pretty sure I'm not. But it was still startling to be asked that in the frank manner in which she asked it. I used to be a really bad commitment-phobe, but now I'm actually starting to warm up to, maybe even get excited about, the idea that I'm going to be getting married, mostly likely within the next few years. Not quite onto the kids part yet. So the question and the thought of the likely hood of it happening startled me a bit. But yeah, I guess all the cleaning is just me getting used to be domestic and maybe a bit stir crazy. But anyhow. Apparently my brother, Jay, has a job at Hollywood Video now. That's scary. My baby brother is old enough to work. . .and drive. . .and does. O.o And then the part of the conversation where I slapped my forehead. My mom was saying that my one cousin, Kaitlyn, who I think is somewhere in the area of pre-teen aged, only wants money for Christmas because she wants to get some $200 designer purse. WTF?! I don't get it. But eh, if its what she wants. So yeah. That was my convo with my mom.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope we don't have a mouse. Whenever I have the kitchen light off, it sound like something is scratching around the stove area. But I don't hear it when the light is on. But it was weird. I was sitting here on my comp, and I kept hearing a sound like someone was typing on Rafe's comp. At first, I thought it was something outside or something in the apt settling, but then when I heard the noise, I went over to see, and it almost sounded like something trying to get out of the stove or the drawer under it. I went over and turned the light on, and it stopped. I opened the stove, and nothing was there. It was weird. I turned the light off, and a while later I heard it again, but it stopped when I turned the light on. Weird. I just hope its my imagination or something minor. I don't feel like dealing with a mouse. Though I guess its a good thing we're getting a cat soon. O.o
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Did a new Christmas profile to match my new Christmas forum av. *^_^* (Featuring Sunao/Ran from Sukisyo. Thanx for the pics Kikai! I've been putting them to good use. *hugs* *^_^*
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Going through another period of weird dreams. Though today was weird. I got the call from the animal shelter, but I didn't get to the phone in time, so I called them back, they told me about Lexi, that Malcom was available and that we needed to set up an interview time. Well, I couldn't do that without talking to Rafe and finding out when he could go, but he was in the middle of a test, so I texted him letting him know and then slept on the couch so I didn't miss him when he came back from the test, in case he didn't get the text. Well, I had several dreams of him walking through the door. It was weird. But then he actually did come home, and all was well. The other night, I had this weird Azumanga Daioh dream. Don't remember all the details, I just remember some of the other kids ganging up on Osaka and Chiyo and something with Christmas and an electronics store. Weird stuff.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow! I've been rambling for awhile. I guess I should stop and go to bed so I can wake up at some point today. FWEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZ!!! -
WHEEEE!!!

Just got back from NJ. My mom's Christmas present to me and Rafe was tickets to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra in Philly this past Saturday (plus money for dinner, parking, souvenirs and stuff.) It was fucking awesome!!! *^_^* The 1st half was all story driven, and the second half, they just played whatever, including a song from their next CD. Which was awesome!!!! *^_^* And the lighting and stuff was awesome!!! (Kinda reminded me of a Kevmaster or Scott Green vid. Seizurific! :D) Yeah, it was awesome! *^_^* So we went to Texas Longhorn for dinner, then went and basked in the awesomeness.
Then today, me, Rafe, my mom and Jay all went to see Enchanted. (well, Rafe and I were seeing it for the 2nd time, my mom and Jay for the 1st time.) And of course it was great again. :D I think I had described it as "All the fairytale/Disney favorites we grew up with as kids, repackaged to entertain us as adults." But it was all good clean humor, which was what made it even better. So yeah, I highly recommend it, especially if you grew up with Disney. *^_^* So yeah, we saw the movie, ate at Lonestar (YAY! More steak! Though I got chicken this time, since I had steak last night. O.O) So we came back, were in a brainless, comedic mood, so we put in Azumanga Daioh. Then Rafe went to bed, and here I am.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Got all my Christmas shopping done. YAY!! Just waiting for one more package to arrive, and all items from said Christmas shopping will be in my possession. Wehoo!! And Rafe said he ordered my Christmas presents. I know the Gankutsuou box set is one of them. Then he said there was another thing I wasn't expecting and then something else entirely. All from Anime Corner Store. So I guess I got anime for Christmas. lol. WEHOO!!! *^_^* So guess what we're doing somewhere around Christmas? :O
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think once I get done with this batch of MEPs, I'm probably going to stop doing them. And banners. Too much drama in both. Too much stress with the MEPs. And the magic and enjoyment is gone with the banners. Its just something to do when I'm taking a break from one of my stress-inducing MEP segments, and I no longer get excited when I get one worthy. I'll still participate in Wurgano-related activities, though. (like group banners, graphics projects, if we ever do a video. *^_^*) But I want to concentrate more on solo/studio(DSJ) vids and trying to get stuff together to do a studio website. Which will probably involve getting a scanner at some point. (Since I'm drawing our logo/mascot(s) and a lot of the graphics myself, but I can't draw with a mouse to save my life. :P) So yeah. I'll probably still participate in holiday MEPs after this, but that's probably about it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I need to wrap Christmas presents. And finish MEP stuff.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am really an anti-social nerd. I didn't realize it quite so much until Rafe invited me to go hang out with some of his work buddies @ Hooters last week. (He asked at the beginning of the week, and the gathering was at the end.) At first, I was going to go, because it was a chance to get out, and paranoid female stuff that I still struggle with on occasion. But then I realized, I probably won't drink, because I'm trying to lose weight. (And even so, I shouldn't drink anyway. :P) And I probably wouldn't be a big part of the conversation. And if the conversation did come to me, what would I talk about? How I'm a weird, ditzy, anti-social anime nerd who's usually glued to my computer, or how much I fail at life? (And if I'm going to be staring at a wall not drinking and doing nothing, I can do that at home, where I could be doing something productive and without reminders of what I DON'T look like running around. :P) But yeah, that's when I realized how reclusive I've become. The thing is, it doesn't bother me until I think about interacting with the outside world. That's when I realize what a social klutz I am and how much I dread having to interact with people. But eh, I'm sure when I get working, things will figure themselves out. (As much as I could get used to the whole housewife thing, I really would rather be able to take care of myself, rather than relying on Rafe to take care of me. . .or him getting used to me taking care of him. Which wouldn't be too bad if we were married. But yeah.) Rambling.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, if I don't write another journal between now and Christmas, I hope everyone has a good one! *hugs* *^_^* Now to end my ramblings before all my excitement from the weekend turns all emo. FWEEEEEEEEE!!!!! *^_^* -
RAFERAFE IS HOME!!!!! YAY!!!!! *^_^*

Picked him up at the airport last night. Wehoo!!! I kinda phailed. I didn't finish cleaning the apt. So it was still kinda messy when he got back. The floor wasn't vacuumed. And he had to go searching for stuff, like that hadn't made it out of the dishwasher or laundry that hadn't been folded and put away. (Like the towels. Which were sitting in a basket on top of the dryer with some of my clothes piled on top. Which he didn't think to move and put on top of the washer when he went looking for a towel. So now a bunch of my (formerly clean) clothes are behind the dryer. He said he would get them for me. But he hasn't yet. So it'll probably be up to me. *sigh*) I didn't have time to make the bed properly. Or clean the bathroom. Or dust. Or mop the kitchen and finish wiping it down. Or finish the dishes. I only made 1/2 the stromboli. And the stromboli I did make got slightly burnt. I didn't make a new pitcher of tea. I did manage to put the tree up, but I kinda rushed, so it doesn't look very good. And I didn't have time to finish shaving, do my eyebrows or put on make-up before rushing off to the airport. And I'm still 19 pounds away from what I was wanting to be when he got back. *sigh* I phail. And I was hoping we could spend more time together when he got home, but he had to unpack and get himself ready since he had work today. So much for that. Well, at least he's back. ^_^
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Need to finish vids. . .NOW!!! @_@
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scott-lol. That would be amusing. *^_^*
Cast to Stone-Glad to hear you haven't forgotten. As long as you haven't forgotten, take your time. *^_^*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow! It took almost 200 stars before Hello Moon started to nose-dive. Usually takes less than 50. 100 tops. O.o (Though it isn't quite nose-diving. . .yet. Its just in a gradual slope down. But I figured it would happen eventually. *^_^*)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Got all my Christmas shopping done. Just waiting for the last of the packages to arrive, which should happen this week or next. And now I am broke. :(
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blah. Just Blah.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know I'm probably forgetting something, but I'm going to stop for now. -
Yaoi is 1337! 8-)

Quick Comments For: Hello Moon, Goodbye Kitty
2007-11-26 21:22:16i like it alot and my friend going to love it when she see it
*SQUEEE!* I'm glad you liked it. I hope your friend likes it too. Thanx for watching! *^_^*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Obviously back from TX. That was. . .interesting. I'll leave it at that. Did go to the Cowboys game on Thanksgiving. Though my mom was laughing (and pouting) because I'm probably the least into sports, much less football, out of the family, and apparently I'm the 1st one to make it to a NFL game. But yeah, I'm back now. And editing. :P
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, got my Undercover beta done. Changed my song to the Gorath cover of Toxic. I'm not going to reveal the hidden meaning of my segment yet. *^_^* Working on getting my SOAD2 final done. Almost have a beta for rap. Need to find the file(s) for my Darkness & Grief segment. Dropped both Christmas MEPs, since I don't really have time. Not to mention I forgot to get the CD with the song from my mom the last time I saw her and I realized the main disk of Vandread I need for it is one of the 2 I'm missing. (though I need to get those soon before they disappear. :( ) So yeah. Maybe next year. Holy Grail is officially dead. . .at least for now. :P Going to try and get Ill Nino done once I finish SOAD2.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Non-MEP type vids? Wuts tat? Yeah, so once I get a handle on my MEP segments, (like the beginning of 2008 probably.), I'm going to be starting the vid I would like to submit to Otakon. (I know what anime and general concept I want to use, but I'm torn between 2 songs, which will also determine the exact execution of the concept.) Also, once I get SOAD2 done, Kev, I figured out what to do with the song you wanted me to do a vid with. You will hopefully giggle. I'll at least be giggling at any rate. *^_^* But I thought it would be fitting. Anyway. After SOAD2.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 days til RAFERAFE!!!!! For good! YAY!!!!!!! *^_^*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Got disk 2 of Death Note in the mail yesterday. Good times. *^_^*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Found my 'Sims' disk yesterday. I decided to actually put all the anime disks I had thrown all over my desk back into their cases. Turned out 'The Sims' was in the case for disk 4 of Gravitation. :P So now I have something else to keep me distracted.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hallelujah! I have a normal sleep schedule! *^_^*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello everyone I haven't talked to in a while. Sorry I've been busy. I just really want to get these MEP segments done. That goes for the yuri, too. (The ones that is directed to know who they are. *^_~*) But I'll be sociable again soon. *^_^*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elves

I think that's it.
