I got a B- on my socio paper. It's decent to me, but seriously, WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS PROFESSOR WANT? ;__; He commented that my essay met all the requirements (HURRAY) BUT I DID NOT PUT THIS LITTLE INFORMATION THAT HE DID NOT ASK FOR. IF HE WANTED THAT INFO, FUCKING PUT THAT IN THE INSTRUCTIONS. HOW MUCH MORE INFO DOES HE WANT WITHIN 5 PAGES? I HAD TO EDIT MY PAPER NUMEROUS TIMES JUST TO NOT MAKE IT GO OVER 5.

I just threw the paper away when I left the room. As long as I don't get a C, I don't care. We had a quiz today too, an open note one (always open notes in that class). Last time, I got a B-/C+ because I didn't put enough info. This time, I wrote a lot of shit. So much that I barely finished the last question. I wrote at the bottom "not enough time left". He asks simple questions, but he wants a fucking essay for every answer. Doing tests and essays for that class is like being around with those sorts of people who don't directly tell you what they want, but they just keep hinting shit and get mad if you don't pick up on it.

And today my business professor asked me, "So how was that Twilight book?" AGAIN, WHEN I TOLD HIM I WASN'T READING TWILIGHT THE FIRST TIME HE THOUGHT SO. :| (I was reading Traitor's Moon.) I told him AGAIN today that I wasn't reading Twilight, I never read Twilight, I don't like Twilight.

Him: I was just kidding. (Bullshit.) You just fit the demographic.
Me: Excuse me? 8| *Actually raising a brow here. Because WHAT.*
Him: Well, you are in your 20's right? (I'm 19.)
Me: Almost, but...what does that...?
Him: I have a friend who is 29, you are younger than that, right?
Me: Way younger.
Him: *Blah blah, explaining how this 29 year old is one of those fans who dress up as her favorite character and yadda yadda.*
Me: Er...yeah, that's not me. I don't do that. :|

I should've said, "So who else fits this demographic? I'm not the only almost-20-something year old here."

I JUST WANTED TO PUNCH MY PROFESSORS IN THE FACE OMG. They frustrated me before, but I never wanted to hit them this much ever, more so to my business professor than my socio though. Why so much generalization?

I also had an test on Buddhism for my Eastern religion class. I forgot about it so I didn't get to study for it. I think I did pretty well though. I already knew almost all the facts thanks to my previous Ethics and Human Nature classes. I wish my other professors were more like Zeuschner. He doesn't generalize, he doesn't expect us to choose a side (like Christianity vs Eastern stuff), he's more clear and direct, and just more practical altogether. He doesn't quiz on what we have to read every week/every other day. It's all lecture and then a test. And unlike Raddon (Business) who just writes definitions on the board or Bustillos (Socio) who writes everything on the board and expects us to do fucking annoying video responses, Zeuschner has a more simple way of teaching that is waaaaaay more informative than those two. That and he's just more pleasant and open minded it seems. :| I'm sure Bustillos is too, being a ethnic class professor and all. Raddon, I'm not too sure. He's a friendly guy but he makes those retarded general comments that just grates me.

I'm still interested in sociology, but business annoys me now. I took it to see what it was like, and now I know I don't like it. :| Maybe it's because I got a professor like him but either way, now I know I'm not interested.

I hope we do one of those class evaluation sheets for business. I did it twice for Zeuschner's class (eastern religion and human nature) and I only write short responses, but for business, I'm gonna have a field day.

I wish I had Tekken 6. I wanna play it so bad right now. D8

...Yeah I don't know what to say. Hi. Have a picture of the most awesome cupcakes ever.

My right palm feels like I've been open handily punching someone a hundred times. D8

Next time I carry my brother's laptop bag, I'm gonna wear gloves.

I will be mailing birthday gifts sometime this week (for you, Maddie and for you, loupe :D). I hope you guys will like what I got you! And actually use it.

One more month of fall classessss...I wanna get business class over with. It's such a meh class for me. 8|

( And a funny thing happened while I was at Target. )

PLEASE MAKE ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT MYSELF.

(Click on "MY THREAD HERE", not the big colored font.)

I played some Tekken 6 when I was at Nita's (brother's girlfriend) house today. It was fun! I love using Leo, Zafina, and Lili. My favorite dude will always be Hwoarang though. And I could careless about Leo's gender, guy or not, Leo's awesome. 8D I really wish I could get the game. No PS3 or 360. D8

I played with Kuma, Nita's doggy...who is the pure opposite of Khodi. Khodi won't like Kuma, I think. xDDDD; Kuma is VERRRRRRYYYYY HYPERRRRR. But he is so cute. He looks like Santa's Little Helper from the Simpsons.

Tomorrow, gonna have to meet up with my group for that project for Business class. Blaaah.

( I played around with a doll maker! )

I attempted to do Alec and Seregil but never got past their face/hair. D8 The outfits are too modern for me to properly picture what attire they'd wear.

Speaking of which, I'm almost done with Shadow's Return! Gotta get to it. 8DDD ...and wait until May for the next one. Until then, after I finish Shadow's Return, I'll get back to reading the Drizzt books starting with Streams of Silver. 8D

HEY GUYS.

So my name is Lanie.

How do you guys pronounce it? 8D

CANABALT. PLAY IT.

FUN FACT ABOUT LANIE'S ONLINE/LJ FRIENDS:

I just realized about 80% of them are bi/lesbian.

AWESOME~! 8D The fact is SO FUN that I didn't even realize it until now~

ANOTHER FUN FACT:

While most of Lanie's LJ/online friends are female, most of her RL/local/whatever-internet-politically-correct-term friends are male!

Don't stop being awesome. All of you.

:edit:

On Thursday, there were two guys holding giant signs with biblical quotes on one side (one about love and the other saying "Jesus says only few will go to Heaven") and the other saying...sliiightly meaner things like something about pedophiles, murderers, serial killers, homosexuals etc. will all go to Hell and all that doo dad...yeaaaah, not very nice.

I had to walk past them to get to my next class. I didn't want to be heckled by them so I just turned up my music and read Shadows Return as I walked by.

Wonder why they were there on that certain day. Maybe it was because of the Maine thing. D:

Lol oh Icons Now you can see my progression from a terrible icon maker to a mediocre one. I know I have more around here somewhere, but I can't be arsed to look again.

Laputa: Castle in the Sky is my favourite movie. It's one of the lesser known Ghibli Studio films that I saw when I was very little (maybe ten or eleven) and fell in love it. It was released in 1986 with a Japanese and English dub (I watched the English as a child), but was re-released several years later with a new English cast because of the connotations of the word "Laputa" in Spanish (meaning "whore"). The new dub was done by Disney and is terrible; not only because of the cast (although I do approve of Mark Hamill for the role of Muska) but Disney felt it necessary to add extra pieces of dialogue in silent moments of the film (which are, in the Ghibli fashion, reserved for contemplation) as well as take out important references to modern literature (such as the references to Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island and Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels).

I recommend that anyone with a young heart and a taste for the fantastic watch this film (in Japanese or the original English dub)... and here's the official trailer with some of Mr. Hisaishi's beautiful and dramatic music on top! No giggling at the leading lady's name... Sheeta is a lovely name!!



Please post your favourite movie too! I'd love to see the one film you love above all others!

I had a lovely Halloween and I have some cool photos to post just as soon as I get them off my camera, but until then I have to post a trailer for a very exciting and nostalgic game that's coming out on the Playstation 3!

FORGET USING DRUGS TO GET HAPPY. I ALREADY FEEL HIGH! 8DDDD

LET'S SEE HOW LONG THIS HAPPINESS WILL LAST BEFORE SOME DUDE COMES ALONG AND BREAKS IT.

BUT EVEN IF IT DOES HAPPEN, I'LL JUST PICK UP THE SHATTERED PIECES AND KEEP ON GOOOOOOING~

*No, I never smoked/injected/drank anything. 8D I never feel the need to. WOO.

We're going on tour!

Springtime for Hitler and Germany~
Come on, Germans
Go into your dance!

I'm doing an essay about Nazis for sociology class. I gotta get into a happy writing mood. xDDD

( Okay, long meme first. )

One random thing about me:
I should go back to my essay now.

I feel much better now. Thanks for the talk, Maddie. <3 It reassured me.

Now Kim's on her way here with Khodi so we can go to 7-11 and get some chips. Nom nom nom. 8D

I love that I don't have school on Tuesdays.

( Oh, Halloween photos! )

We also played catchphrase. That game is SO fun! For those you don't know, you're given a word and you have to- without saying the actual word or use hand gestures, try to get the others to guess what the world is before passing it to the next person.

I got the word "buzz" and I wasn't sure what to say and the timer was about to go off, and I said, "The timer will..."

And my teammates said, "BUZZ!!" and I passed it on to Jedi, who was on the other team and right when I did that... the timer buzzed. It was a golden moment. 8DDD

It ended with a 1-1 draw. But it was fun. We played Mafia and we actually caught them the two rounds we played. The accusations were fun to make.

"Tony, why aren't you the mafia?"
"BECAUSE IT'S MY FUCKING HOUSE! 8|"
"WE'RE IN THE JUNGLE."
"SHUT UP."

Hahaaaa~

►CHARACTER SPIRIT MEME ◄

You guys know my muses, so go ahead and throw some choices at me and I'll fill it out. xD

I SPENT THREE FUCKING HOURS ON THIS PROJECT WHY THE HELL DID THE FILE DISAPPEAR.

*FUCKING RAGES*

Oh well. I made a new one and saved it in like, 8 different places.

Bitches don't know about my awesomeness.

I don't wanna drop him.

I really, really don't.

Seriously, is it because he's from a small fandom that people think they don't wanna interact him because of that or I just plain suck? I can't tell, since my more well known muses get more attention than he does. I mean, I know I'm no pro or anything, but I just feel like crap since the character I put the most work on and the character I've been playing the longest in the rp...is ignored. Ironically, he's famous in his canon.

I don't want to drop him. But I know that whether I do or not, nobody but maybe one person would care. I know that I would care immensely, since I feel like a failure.

I still feel like I suck. I appreciate all the praise (greatly appreciate, because I rarely get praises for anything) but it's...I don't mean to sound...or come off as...what it could come off as: as much as I appreciate all the praise, it's hard to accept it since...he...gets ignored anyway.

It's been going on for so long but I haven't really brought it up until now because I don't want to sound like "the one who constantly begs for tags" when I'm not like that at all. This is a bit different, since my other muses gets tags all the time while this one, the one I care about the most and the one I put the most effort in, gets ignored.

I don't want to drop him. I don't want to drop him. I don't want to drop him. I don't want to drop him...is what I keep telling myself.

But if I do drop him...this whole thing would just be a wasted effort. I still believe that a character can have great cr regardless of how big or small their fandom is.

It's just hard when others don't put in the same effort...I guess. I don't want to come off like I'm accusing anyone. Maybe I really DO just suck.

:edit:

Oh, my. I had no idea this entry was public. Darn. :| Oh well.

Of all the wacky dreams I could've had for Halloween, I just had a dream where my hair was INCREDIBLY MESSY. Like very oily like I hadn't washed it in days and stuff.

I woke up to find out that it's not, thankfully, since I just washed it yesterday. :3 Maybe I had those dreams with all this talk of Youzen and his hair...? He has very pretty hair.

Maybe my dream tonight might be more exciting.

Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down
what it says:

time to come visiting. There've been geese in the pond and I finally"

Now try page 42, line 1:

a hard task ahead of us. The Viresse will oppose anything that"

And page 89, line 17:

around his waist.

Towards page 100, line 15:

"Yes, and of the dangerous side."

Page 112, line 6:

Alec fingered the swollen skin and winched. "My whole neck

Back up to page 60, line 18:

"do you recall the blessing you gave us when we were all pissed as"

And the last sentence on page 69:

Looking across the water to Big Turtle, he could almost see his younger self jumping across the rocks, diving fish-naked in the coves with his friends- a silly, self-involved boy who;d had no idea what immensity of pain lay just over the horizon of his short life.

Putting the sentences together, did it make sense?

Some parts...it...did? Not really. 8D;; Also, I picked up Traitor's Moon.

The Seasoned Veteran Friend

You are the Seasoned Veteran Friend! You resemble Aragorn (Lord of The Rings), Merlin (Arthurian Legend), Han Solo (Star Wars), The Marquis (Neverwhere), Sirius Black (Harry Potter) and Chase (Wizard's First Rule). You are exceedingly loyal, tricky and hardy. You regularly pull the Unlikely Hero, Mentor and Pillor-of-Strength Love Interest out of trouble and into safety. Beware The Traitor, who will make your job intensely difficult. And don't coddle the Unlikely Hero too much, he has to learn how to fend for himself. Anyway, everyone admires you and your resourcefullness / reliability - good going!
What Fantasy Archetype Are you?

...really? :|

During break time, I was heading over to the Campus Center to get a soda. On my way there, I saw a kid dressed like Ness and he even had a yo-yo with him. Is it odd that I thought it was just a silly coincidence until I saw the Domo backpack? xDDD;

In the Campus Center itself, I saw a group of people and one of them was dressed as a Spy with the V for Vendetta mask. I wish I was in my outfit so I'd have a reason to twack him with my [broken] shovel. But uh, I think he was being a Red Spy (red mask, blue suit) so... a reason to check him I guess. 8D;

Now I want to go to school in my Soldier outfit...even though I don't have class tomorrow and without a group, I will probably look like an idiot in a helmet.

:edit:

Oh yeah, my shovel was broken a few months ago because some idiots at the beach did it. Moogle took it home and said he would fix it. When I called him about it today, he can't find it. So...not only it's broken, but it's lost now.

Hurray for responsible people! 8/

I hope I can find a decent new one...that is actually of size, since most of the plastic toy ones I've seen are those small garden ones.

( So I turned in the essay. )

True story. Because it happened today.

I am glad my sociology professor is a nice guy. And I know I can't draw. 8D;

Staying up working on the sociology paper. I even went to 7-11 to get some coffee.

I don't mind though. This is nice. :> I also have comedians keeping me company (i.e. Chris Titus and Chris Rock) as I work on this.

I can't wait to get home after class is over. I am sooo gonna sleep.

...I think. I tend to keep awake somehow.

:edit:

7:20 AM

Woo, I'm done! I really hope it's an A. :> Or at least, not a C.

To have a really awesome dream following a very crappy day- I love it when that happens. I mean, I could do it without the crappy day but a good dream is always nice.

It starts out kinda scary at first, but not to me. I'm glad I'm not afraid of spiders. I think I was watching a movie because I wasn't interacting with anyone (in this part of the dream anyway). It was underground, not exactly a sewer but it kinda looked like one. The walls of the area was overrun with spiders of different sizes. I remember seeing baby ones but they're not in a ball of web like they tend to be. They kinda got their own little cubby space, like a honey comb except not shaped that way. They would stick their heads out from time to time but slink away when adult spiders walk by.

There were two not-very-human (very alien like) looking women walking through the tunnel. They saw the spiders as a big nuisance and were looking for ways to get rid of them. I remember one of the big spiders were yelling something at them (it wasn't coherent, just weird insect babble) and the lady turned to her friend and said, "Do something about that." Her friend's eyes glowed and shot a laser beam at the spider, killing it and the babies that were in the way. The babies quickly respawn but they remain in their little cubby holes. Hurr hurr LASER FACE!

Laser Face lady said to her friend that they "must make use of the prisoner at once" and her friend replied, "I would like to, but he doesn't seem to have regained his powers."

So this is where it gets funny, the prisoner turns out to be Kuwabara. He's stuck in his own cage but he's surrounded by the baby spiders who keep poking at him, to his dismay. His arm was bleeding. ;__; The women released him and he was totally freaking out and said things like, "YOU BETTER NOT MAKE THE SPIDERS PROBE ME. I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE."

The alien women said the reason why they kidnapped him was because they knew of his ability to slice through dimensions and they need it to get rid of the spiders. (Spiders are dimensions? I have no idea.) Kuwabara said he had been trying to, but every attempt he makes, he suffers a very bad cramp in his arm (hence the bleeding) and the blood seemed to attract the spiders.

I don't remember what happened next, like if he escaped or not, but I do remember everything shaking and all three of them were freaking out.

( This is where the fun part starts. )

I think the funniest part of the dream was Hiei drinking soda from a Buzz Lightyear cup.

OKAY, WORKING ON SOCIOLOGY ESSAY NOW. I hate typing on laptops sometimes.

Oh, and I passed my Business midterm. It was such a joke. 38/40. Hurrr.

Hi, I'm likin' this comm. =D

Anyways, I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can find some high quality screencaps for the FMVs from both the original Kingdom Hearts and KHII. I've checked the directory and quite a bit back, but can't seem to find any. And Google only yields pretty bad quality caps.

Thank you in advance!
