[Nov. 17th, 2009♥11:52 pm] |
Blah blah no one cares about RPWriMo (it's 2,239 words in if you're curious but WHATEVER). BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT. TO ME.
NANOWRIMO
I'm still have PB issues with AM!Tonks, and now I'm wondering over Dorea's PB, too. Sigh. But my eyes hurt too much to do any more searching today. I really need to finish Dorea's profile, like, now. My ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) steamtrek apps are crawling along, but I've hit some mild blocks in both of their personalities, chiefly making them sociable. Neither of them are social, in different ways, but I want to make sure that I can still make them interact despite the one's awkwardness and the other's snarkiness, otherwise I'll be in a corner unsure what to do because they won't want to say anything. Nonetheless, I plow on with them. At least I have till the first, gosh. Which is like what thirteen/twelve days away? Sigh. |

| you'd think someone who can change her appearance at will would be easy to pb. |
[Nov. 15th, 2009♥12:08 am] |
So, I'm going to be changing my PB for Tonks at AM. Again. Yes. I could, in theory, stick with Allison Scagliotti (who I adore), but she really doesn't have the range of expressions Tonks needs, and it's really sometimes hard to not think Claudia Donovan of Warehouse 13 when I look at her, and the last thing I need is a TV-show character influencing my portrayal of one of my favourite characters, kthx.
SO! A list, so I can keep track of who I'm considering. IF ANYONE HAPPENS TO HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS? Go right ahead.

Siiiigh. I AM GOING TO TRY, OKAY. IT'S SO SHINY. DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT. COME ON. LOOK AT THAT SHINY GAME. Okay, srsly, probably not a good idea, but DAMNIT I want to at least try, because I'll regret it if I don't. And if it doesn't end well, I'll probably regret that too. So, I'm going to make it end well. I WANT TO BE ONE OF THE COOL KIDS, OKAY? *cries*
What is in your character's purse/bag/on their person at any given moment?
( did it for lilylu, am/ksu!tonks, and if there's anyone anyone wants ASK. PLZ. SRSLY, DO. ) |

Siiiigh. I haven't written anything for ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) rpwrimo in days, and can barely bring myself to write even a word a day for NaNoWriMo. *headdesk* I just feel like crap anymore. My muses are being quieter than usual, and the only one I can get to even vaguely talk is KSU!Tonks and she's bleeding into AM!Tonks a bit, which isn't so bad since they're fairly similar in personality, though with key differences. At AM Domini and Lilylu just... won't say anything. Which is bad for both, especially for Lilylu, because she's supposed to be talkative. I just look at their f-pages and go "ehhhh" to the idea of commenting anywhere. And as far as doing tags, I have one tag I needed to do days ago, and another I needed to /start/ days ago so I kind of hate my life. OH, AND I TOTALLY FORGOT THE PLOTPOST THIS WEEK, ISN'T THAT GREAT? UGH. And I shouldn't even be daring to look at steamtrek. Because no doubt it will be a big, fabulous game and my track record with big, fabulous games sucks. BAD MEGAN.
I woke up late today, missing breakfast next door, despite the fact that I could have gotten up early QUITE easily, I am just a lazy sod. I'm waiting for daddy to get home with hopefully my new inhaler, a new pair of headphones, and my library book. Because my old inhaler is deadoes and I am having issues breathing, my old headphones died and these iPod ear buds hurt, and I just like having library books.

[Nov. 5th, 2009♥12:03 am] |
No RPWriMo update because it hasn't changed, mmhmm. I SUCK, OKAY? *headdesk*
NANOWRIMO
TODAY'S BEST EXCREPT; "So, any chance I can convince you to help me escape and run far far away?" Celia said, but the guard didn't respond.
equals; STILL BEHIND UGH I FAIL. rargh.
Other news, I finished Dominique for AM. Woo. I actually did something. |
|
|
| rpwrimo/nanowrimo; day three. |
[Nov. 4th, 2009♥12:01 am] |
I did two out of three tags, I'll see if I can muster out of my laziness to do the last one before bed, but I don't I SWEAR I'll do it in the morning. Failonme. Dominique and Dorea still aren't done because I still suck. And I'm falling behind fast on both of these, I need to catch up, but I'm too busy being a TVwhore to do that because I honestly don't feel like writing which is a lame excuse but I suck at getting myself to do anything when I don't feel like it so IDK what to do.
RPWRIMO
• 416 words (+ 397 former) for Lilylu. tag three. tag four.
equals; uh. well. I'm behind, but it could be worse sooo "it could have been worse" day.
NANOWRIMO
TODAY'S BEST EXCREPT; "Didn't go well, I'm guessing?"
Celia's eyes shot open, and she sat up with a start to see Cian leaning against her door frame. His hood was down, exposing his pale skin, sunburned red in places. He looked fairly unconcerned that he had sneaked into her room, despite how many laws it was breaking.
"What in the names of the gods are you doing in here?!" She sputtered.
Cian blinked, and then seemed to realize that she was upset. "Oh! Your building let me in. And then I guessed the code for your room." After Celia just stared at him, still in shock, he added, "I was just sitting in the outer chamber."
equals; STILL BEHIND, BAD MEGAN. day. |
|
|
| rpwrimo/nanowrimo; day two. |
[Nov. 3rd, 2009♥12:00 am] |
Meh. I felt tired and lazy today. Hence, I didn't get anything done for RPWRIMO, because I suck. And I didn't get much done in way of NANOWRIMO either, really. And then my internet was bitchy this evening DESPITE the fact that we JUST got a new freaking modem which was supposed to quit this shittery.
Dorea's history is finished (thank goodness I'm making her so young), I'm going to write up her personality tomorrow, clean her up, and then a Dorea there shall be! Dominique is a bit tougher, because I'm having issues with her personality, because I need to differentiate her from how she is usually, and how she's become by having a bb (WHO IS NAMED ARTHUR, AFTER KING ARTHUR NOT GRANDPAPPY ARTHUR KTHX), but without changing her central core. I'm trying to make her nicer, but without her being nicer, and she's being a brat with me.
RPWRIMO
equals; bad day.
NANOWRIMO
BEST LINE TODAY; Cian finally came to himself, and turned back to her. "You didn't happen to learn a dramatic, shocking new way for us to escape, and save the universe while speaking to Lord Balon, did you?"
equals; not-so-good day. |

TOMORROW IS HALLOWEEN! EEEEE!
Halloween is vry important to me. Well, at least I wish it was. Admittedly tomorrow will likely consist of me sitting her in a "costume" being saddoes that I don't go hanging out at cemeteries/trick or treating/or anything actually Halloween like. If I'm lucky Patricia will feel good enough to have something going on (aka Diane making food, which is my favourite thing in the world). ANYWAY, my "costume", which is in quotations because it's pretty much normal clothes trying to pass for the costume idea, is princess or queen. I say Queen, because why not aim high? I WILL HAS PICTURES AND I WILL SHOWS THEM. YS.
I have three apps to do. And I realized that all three of them are Slytherins, sigh. I'm thinking of making AM!Domini a Gryffindor to rectify this. |

| i watch too much telly and make too many icons |
[Oct. 18th, 2009♥03:39 pm] |
SO I am enjoying advenarpg (WHICH NOW USES THE TWITTER TAG #advenarpg KTHX XD), which I am glad is doing at least relatively well. I has ideas for the ~future of the plot, which is also good since, uh, as the mod I should have that. INDEED.
Making lots of icons, which a bunch of I will hopefully post on Halloween in a sad attempt to be ~festive. Most of them will likely be from Merlin, so it works. I want to finish my Legend of the Seeker icons before the new season starts. I'm considering skipping ahead and doing the last episode nao since that's the one I want to do the most, and do the rest later during offseason next year or something, since I want to keep up with season two iconning better right off. Which reminds me that I really badly need to update my directory *headdesk*
Consider this one of my YOU NEED TO WATCH THESE SHOWS paragraphs. Been watching a lot of television, finally caught up somewhat with Hulu though I may do more of that today. Decided that even though I still have not gotten to Stargate SG-1 or Stargate Atlantis, I'd check out STARGATE UNIVERSE. It's WONDERFUL, I love it to pieces, I really do. I've seen comparisons to Star Trek: Voyager but I think there's some big differences, not just that SG-U seems (to me, anyway) a more serious show. It's great. Also, SANCTUARY is back and it is as awesome as ever, it really is. Helen and Ashley broke my heart at the end of the latest episode. I don't usually cry during shows (except occasionally) but that really killed me. FLASHFORWARD continues to get better, and I find it vry interesting and good. FRINGE is back and while it's not part of my top faves, it's still pretty darn good. |

TODAY KIND OF SUCKED ASS FOR A MULTITUDE OF REASONS RANGING FROM ANGST, PEOPLE SUCK, AND ME BEING BROKE AS CRAP.
Erin and I are working on clearing out the apps before we OPEN AM. Plotpost is written, and a little NPC Modtrolled journal has been made which I am all proud of, especially the former because I find it very professional and pretty and AWESOME, OKAY.
I'm not going to talk about the fail of today pre-getting-on-the-computer-tonight because it's silly and I don't even care much about it now. Or anything, at the moment. It's such an off day, I'm not even sure I'm upset I was rejected at BW. I'm a bit pissed off about that, but I'm shrugging for the most part because I'm not all that surprised, considering. Sigh. I want today to be over at AM!Opening day to start so I can be RPing Lilylu and Tonks. I am so tired I need some happeh.
OKAY BACK TO MOD DUTIES >.> |

(This icon makes me sort of lol considering what Cas was like in the latest SPN episode XD)
Anyway, I'm working on Georgie Henley icons for my bb (bb meaning 15 yrs old YES SHE CAN PASS FOR 15. THERE ARE YOUNG 15 YR OLDS OUT THERE) Minerva at AM (ammods WHICH IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN, I AM SHOCKED), and I thought to myself that Skander Keynes would be an epic young Tom Riddle. Eh? Eh? Also, I'm almost tempted to age her up a year or two and use Anna Popplewell, because in LWW Susan wears a tartan skirt and Lucy never wears any tartan and it's a crying shame. But I shall resist. Because I am 50 icons in and I don't want to start a new set without finishing this set and the W13 Joanne Kelly set.
Merlin is at the vet, getting fixed. I am, of course, worrying my arse off because NO VET IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR MY BABY KITTEH AND IF THEY HARM A HAIR ON HIS FURRY SELF I WILL BE PISSED because I am paranoid like whoa. Hence I didn't go when daddy took him down there. But will go when he picks him up. Yep.

So I keep playing with the adverts for AM and I keep not liking the results, sighhh. Like, I like parts of the adverts but not others, you know? Anyways. I opened the OOC comm over there and that was VRY EXCITING, OKAY. XD And I got down the moon cycles on the timeline and added tags everywhere and did the weeklyorso adverting in comms and am quite pleased with myself right now.
I'm going to gather up songs via Lemonwire and create fancy playlists for my characters and ships and things. IDK how that will work out considering the Breaking Dawn Virus that ruined my computer back then when I was using LW to find... the book Breaking Dawn because I am the biggest loser ever I DON'T WANT TO DISCUSS IT, OKAY. So I'm going to go do that. So far it is going well. I've gotten one song! Wow! XD
Okay I'm going to go continue downloading and doing apps. I hope to finish Minerva for AM quickly. And then gal for place that Erin's making me do. And mayyyyybe a person at another game that I'm not sure on. Not that I'm ever sure on anything but you know. |

SO. I was iconning Molly Quinn alongside Stana Katic from the new episode of Castle (which was awesome, by the way, oh my gosh), and I was reminded of how much I adore this girl and really wish I had a place to use her as a PB which reminded me of when I used her for the infamous (to me, at least) Eleanor "Elly" Beckett, fantasy author and master of lulz who I never really (read: at all) got to play. And I don't want to try to slap her face and her base onto a different name, different person like I attempted with Lilylu that didn't pan out. And to be honest, I find the chances of ever being able to find a game that would fit her next to zero.
In that train of thought, I remembered that NaNoWriMo is coming up, and that I have considered writing a story for her in the past. So, she's added high on my list of NaNo stories this year. Since I clearly can't take the premise of the game she was in, I'm thinking a "dream" tale of her in one of her books. As in, she "falls into"/wakes up in one of her whimsical fantasy tales. The question is, is the fantasy world the dream, or is the life she thought she knew was real the dream? Does that sound like an interesting story premise? I think it does. And I know, for sure, that I can write her, and write her well, so I think she'd be an excellent choice. Also: something new. I don't write very far into stories with people from ~real world, and while there's a fantasy world (that may actually be the real one), it would be new. I like that.
(for those confused this is my dear elly.)
Oh, and I think that I may have a reactability to catnip. Like, the smell is srsly making me dizzier than I was before. I've been really dizzy and light-headed the past couple of days, and it's not just the catnip because I felt like this yesterday and I haven't crazied my cat for a month before this morning, so. If I seem more off-kilter right now, it's because I'm woozy like whoa. |

ATTN: JESSI. I just remembered something! (also, sorry I've been bothering you all over the place today <3) I wanted to ask if you perhaps you knew where you get those Name Expression Number thingers? I was just curious, because it's cool.
It's weird seeing people in one show, and then finding out they were also in another show you like. I saw Allison Scagliotti (YES MORE ON HER SHE IS MY FAVOURITE EVER SHUSH) in Warehouse 13 and I didn't even realize I'd also seen in her an episode of Mental and also the Disney movie Read it and Weep. And possibly Drake & Josh, knowing me. She looks crazy different with the short red hair than the long brown, srsly. |

My dad just told me the amazing tale of my brother, Jonathon, and how Jon's house was attacked last night. As in, toilet papered. And then the toilet paperers knocked on the door, but when Jon answered it there was no one there. So the next time they knocked, Jon apparently ran out the door and chased the guy down street. Apparently, the guy had a camera phone in hand and had been planning to take a photo of Jon all ~enraged, but not so much. The belief is that it may have been some folks from the Church of Scientology, because apparently my brother blogs about the fail of said Church (he is a scientologist, notably, just not with the ~Church), and some time ago some ass posted his address online.
Yep.
In other news, I changed AM Tonks' PB to the lovely Allison Scagliotti (well, am in the process of changing over, I have to finish and post the sets I have so I can re-download them so I can use the IJ Uploader for just the icons I want/can use). I feel a bit like a traitor, because Stacy DuPree was my seventh-year I-hate-capitalizing-the-beginning-of-my-sentences Tonks at TMF, and I had sworn up and down that if I ever got to play a pre-Order Tonks again, Stacy would be my pick, but Allison wins too much, and hp_anon agreed with that sentiment last night at like three am my time. |

TONIGHT I plan to watch Supernatural and then temper the fright and things of that show with Psych.
Except probably not because I want to watch at least one of those RIGHT FREAKING NOW.
After I watch Supernatural I'll post with whatever I "think" about it. Maybe. If I want to. If I feel like it. IDK.
I am itching to start "officially" advertising AM (ammods- have you seen it? go see it. go love it. now, I demand!), but I'm waiting on a few things before I do that. (OF COURSE, if anyone wants to tell their friends all about it now, I certainly won't mind (akaplzdo) though a few things are subject to change in the mod journal) Is it bad I'm thinking of a third character, already? A founder, if you're curious. Because I miss the days when founders were stuck speaking in the tongue that they actually spoke at the time when they were alive, idk.
Also, speaking of the founders! Their initials bother me. I mean, really? GG. HH. RR. SS. What are the chances? So, I was thinking, maybe their last names are aliases? Like, they just changed them, and they thought it would be chill to have them start with the same first letter as their given names? It makes more sense to me than the idea that it JUST SO HAPPENS that they all had matching given-surname first letters, and all of their last names are ~cool. Gryffindor. Ravenclaw. Hufflepuff (clrly Helga failz). Slytherin (clrly Salazar was a gangsta). It makes sense to me, really. And canon never defines much about the founders besides that they founded Hogwarts, and their hair colour if you go by J.K.'s wizard cards. |

Oh my god. Worrying over AM has returned me to my habit of chewing on my hair. FML. I had grown out of that! I used to chew on my hair nervously when I was younger but it officially stopped when I chopped off my hair into a pixie cut last year and now the habit is back and that sucks monkey socks. Bad Megan, very bad Megan!
Got some things on my to-do list done via Sprinkles picking numbers but that ended when I didn't get around to doing 7 as picked in KSU-chat and that is still waiting to be done. JOY, CAITLIN, DORA SHOULD BE JUMPING INTO TONKS FAM THREAD NAO, Y/N?
Anyway Merlin mai kitteh is a little shit. He keeps knocking over the lamp by the window, which breaks and I have to put it back together, he knocked over a dead pot filled with soil and dead bb roses, he's repeatedly knocked over a heavy glass thing of my mom's despite it being no where near the edge, steals my stuff, attacks our feet, jumps onto the edges of walls and hangs there for a moment with his claws in the wood, and won't eat all his food because he is a picky little bastard!
But hey, at least he doesn't chew through power cords! (SPRINKLES' PUPPEH) |
