3 things meme
Jun. 26th, 2019 02:16 pmI got this from
musesfool a few days ago, so I thought I'd get to it while I kill time waiting to go to a late lunch/early dinner/afternoon snack with my mom. I love these kinds of memes, so I'm glad they're coming back around again. I remember doing and seeing them on LJ back in the day. Just comment if you would like me to give you three random things to talk about.
( Lemons, cows, and sparks... oh my! )
That was fun!
ETA: I completely forgot the other fannish meaning of lemons that refers to smutty fanfic. -_-; I do like those and have read many. IIRC, that term was used primarily by people who were in anime fandoms, and it migrated to other fandoms sometimes--especially Harry Potter. It was pretty much universal for anything smutty on Quizilla from what I remember. Do people still use this term? They also used to use lime for a lighter version, but I was never sure where the line was between lemons and limes. Either way, there was a whole lot of citrus going on. XD

Brief RL update
Oct. 4th, 2017 08:57 pmLast week, I went on a "date" with an English major who doesn't like to read for fun.
WTF?
I don't know what's the weirdest part of that sentence: that I actually went on a date or that he's an English literature major who doesn't read for fun. Obviously, this is a topic that warrants more discussion, but for now, I'll leave you with this thought as a brief peak into the utter wasteland that is my love life. Until then, I'm going to crawl back into the imaginary world that I've created for myself.

I've probably done this before...

I Am A: Neutral Good Elf Cleric (4th Level)
Ability Scores:
Strength-11
Dexterity-13
Constitution-12
Intelligence-16
Wisdom-16
Charisma-12
Alignment:
Neutral Good A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He
works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good
without bias for or against order. However, neutral good can be a dangerous alignment when it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly
capable.
Race:
Elves are known for their poetry, song, and magical arts, but when danger threatens they show great skill with weapons and strategy.
Elves can live to be over 700 years old and, by human standards, are slow to make friends and enemies, and even slower to forget them. Elves are slim and
stand 4.5 to 5.5 feet tall. They have no facial or body hair, prefer comfortable clothes, and possess unearthly grace. Many others races find them hauntingly
beautiful.
Class:
Clerics act as intermediaries between the earthly and the divine (or infernal) worlds. A good cleric helps those in need,
while an evil cleric seeks to spread his patron's vision of evil across the world. All clerics can heal wounds and bring people back from the brink of
death, and powerful clerics can even raise the dead. Likewise, all clerics have authority over undead creatures, and they can turn away or even destroy
these creatures. Clerics are trained in the use of simple weapons, and can use all forms of armor and shields without penalty, since armor does not interfere
with the casting of divine spells. In addition to his normal complement of spells, every cleric chooses to focus on two of his deity's domains. These domains
grants the cleric special powers, and give him access to spells that he might otherwise never learn. A cleric's Wisdom score should be high, since this
determines the maximum spell level that he can cast.

Elf makes sense because it is my favorite fantasy race. I'm not sure about cleric as I'm still trying to figure out what I think of organized religion, but it seems to exemplify the positive features of that institution.
Unfortunately, I've never played D&D, but I'd like to change that sometime soon.

Thankfully, the heat has decided to take a vacation for a while. Apparently, it was over 100 yesterday, but it was no hotter than the low 80s today. I've been enjoying some cool breezes from my window, but the heat kept me from sleeping last night. I don't think I was able to get to sleep until nearly 3 AM. When I did sleep, I had a haunted house-related dream/nightmare. I don't remember anything particularly creepy except for a general feeling of foreboding and the unease of finding myself alone in a dark, old house that was allegedly haunted. I blame this on reading The Haunting of Hill House—which was my first real ghost story ever—and starting Neil Gaiman’s American Gods where ( Spoilers ). I don’t feel particularly tired as I was able to sleep in quite a bit, but I do feel a bit listless and uninspired which is a common side effect of not sleeping enough in my life.
Pikachu, I choose you!
Jun. 11th, 2016 09:47 pmBecause my satellite reception is terrible right now, I'm only half-watching Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans on Toonami tonight. I am hoping that things will improve when Hunter x Hunter comes on next, but I'm not holding my breath. All I've done today is read, but I'm almost done with another book, so that's something! Last night, I stayed up waaay too late playing a MUD of all things. Yep, that's where the search for accessible games and a strong nostalgia for the early days of the Internet before I had access has led me. I played Nanvaent,which was interesting, but I'm not sure if I was hooked or anything. I kept getting lost and killed while I was going nowhere fast.
Yesterday, I fiiinally went to the Downtown Disney Build a Bear Workshop to pick up my forlorn Pikachu. He is wonderfully rotund and creatively named "Pikachu." The custom Pikachu sound was only available online, so we made a homemade recording from YouTube. It turned out okay, and it was still loads better than any of the pre-recorded sounds. I also ate Italian food and ice cream.
Anyway, the reception for Hunter x Hunter is decent, so I'm going to watch it now.

I've done some of my homework today, but the entire time I have been anxiously awaiting my assignment for
space_swap. ;3 The exchange is going to be smaller than I originally thought. Apparently, there will be 25 participants including myself. I'm guessing that I'll be writing something for Doctor Who or the Star Wars prequels because I'm the only one who requested Madoka. I'm probably not going to get a Madoka fic either, but that's okay because I haven't even read any of the fics that are already out there.
Signing up for this exchange has made me wish that there was a fantasy-based counterpart. Maybe that is too vague of a subject, but I'm tempted to start one of my own. If I did, I might want to call it magical exchange, so that it contains some kind of magic in the fandoms as a theme. I would be tempted to call it Equivalent Exchange, but I'm sure that something already has that name and that it might be too specific to FMA. Besides, is the alchemy in FMA really magic? From what I remember of the 2003 anime (even though I have watched Brotherhood), alchemy is supposed to be a kind of science that just doesn't exist in our world. I would want my exchange to be focused on real magic rather than technology that is so advanced that it appears to be magic. There is a name for that, right? Magic that is really just new technology? I must investigate...

Sir Elton John was right
Jan. 5th, 2016 11:21 amThere's far too much to take in here. More to find than can ever be found. That's my reaction whenever I think of all of the creative works that I want to experience and realize that there's still more amazing stuff that I haven't discovered yet.
Am I the only one who has lyrics from The Lion King float through their mind during random times of the day? Considering how important and beloved that movie was in my childhood (not to mention my grown-up love for Hamlet), it's really not surprising.
Hakuna matata, everyone!

Rather money again day today. Still's almost it was nice's. I went to church this mom, walked over to the nearby shopping center, ate some fast food nachos, and then came home to do some homework. Not so much progress on the homework, show. I am a terrible procrastinator. Later, I may go to the mall sacrectomy even more.
Anyway, today is pleasant day. Pretty sunny. Probably a good day to write poetry, but I Philnoll inspiration. However, I may try to fit in some reading.
I'm not sure what the point of this wise… Just too right?'
I guess that's good enough for now.
I didn't type this and Trietsch; I dictated to my iPhone. I was going to fix the mistakes by hand, but I'll leave them for now.
