so haven't posted in 19 weeks, says LJ's front page. mostly because i'm lazy and don't have anything going on to post about. which isn't anything new but is a decent enough reason not to post very often.

i'm been in an icon making slump for a while. and i've recently gotten back into the icon making mood. mostly DMC 4 and FFVII: ACC because MY GOD they are very pretty. and I haven't even played DMC 4 (because i am too poor for a PS3 but i have sorted started saving up for one. and i haven't seen since ACC because i don't have a blu-ray player but i do plan to buy the DVD before i go to my brother's house for 2 weeks to dog and house sit since he has a PS3.) Nero (from DMC 4) makes the best faces i can't get over his expressions. I hope to have a decent amount of icons finished so i can go and blow the dust off of kabane and post them.

i've been spending TONS OF TIME at TV Tropes go to that site and when you start to get into the articles and hours will fly by before you know it. i'm not sure what's my favorite page on the site but you can't go wrong with the Crowning Moment of... pages. just pick one whether it be funny awesome, funny or heartwarming you'll be sure to enjoy yourself.

Let's see... Christmas uneventful ditto for New Years.

Got myself a lastfm account in December. I'm StellarAbyss over there too. So if you have an account there friend me and I'll friend you back.

I read and finished Duma Key by Stephen King a few days ago. It was the first of his books I've read. I've always stayed away from his books because I don't really care for reading horror books. But my mom was like it was funny (she would come and read the funny parts to me). So once she was done with it she forced it on me. And it was REALLY GOOD. It did have it scary parts but not enough to keep me from being able to sleep. I really wanna read It now. Which is crazy because the 2 or 3 times I've seen the movie I was scared shitless. I want a hardcover copy of the book but since the book came out so long ago hardcover copies are HARD to come buy. And I don't care for paperback books since putting creases in the spines on books makes me scale buildings like King Kong.

I think I'll be swiping King's Just After Sunset from my mom. Since I'm dying to read something/anything of his right now. She did give me another book Virtues & Vices. Which she calls the book either with or about the perverts. It's okay or maybe it's just starts slow. But I'm not really feeling it, probably because I'm in a Stephen King frame of mind right now.

A small post just to show that I am a 5 year old in a 23 year olds body.

So I go into the kitchen to look for food. Why am I ALWAYS HUNGRY!? And I look out the window for the hell of it and see snow on the cars and grass. And look a little closer and see little snow flakes falling. I would love for the snow to stick around but unless the snow gets CRAZY heavy soon it won't even last till late night. But it is still nice to see snow even if it won't be around for long.


I picked up my P4 Social Link Expansion Pack from the post office today. There was no line so I was in and out. Which is so rare is makes me happy. The shirt that came with it is so nice. I'll use it as an outside shirt instead of a pj shirt.

Still no new FO banner since my computer hates me so I ended having to crop the iamge and then recolor it. Which I was too lazy to do right away But I'll start recoloring it again later on today. Plus I was too busy cropping screencaps from the new FF VS XIII trailer to work on the FO Banner.

So I picked up my copy of P4 from the Post Office today. I haven't played it yet because I've been to lazy. The Social Link Expansion pack should arrive on Monday. Instead I watched the Cowboy Bebop movie which made me wish I owned the series. I really need to get that series, hopefully I can find a cheap boxset.

I've also changed my layout and I'm putting the finishing touches on my new semi FO banner. Since I'm wiped tonight. I should have the FO banner up tomorrow.


Alright so I'm off to either watch Cowboy Bebop again or watch Gundam Wing. Unless my PS2 laughs in my face and tells me to try again like it did the last time I tried to watch GW and like it been doing when lately when I try to watch volume 3 of Fruits Basket.

So I'm waiting for KH Re: CoM to come in the mail. The Post Office said that they left a slip yesterday, so there sure has hell better be one in the mailbox tomorrow.


Amazon sent out shipping notices for my Persona 4 goodies and they should arrive around the 15th. But since the Post Offices online tracking says the items are in NJ I hope they get here on Saturday. But knowing my full of fail Post Office I won't get a package slip until Monday. But I've notice that since it's the Christmas season and all they have been putting out the slips when they should instead of holding on to them for FOREVER like they normally do.
I never understood why my post office plays games with the packages either they hold on to your slips for days or they send it out when they should and when you come looking for your shit they can't find it. And there's when they go to look for your package in the back, they be back there FOREVER. As long as they take back there you would think they got stuck in the Bermuda Triangle or something.
I swear my post office is the worst one I've ever come across. Plus they never have stamps or bubble wrap and whatnot. What they need to do is get a stamp machine THAT WORKS so that people don't have to stand on the SLOW ASS line just to get stamps. Only to be told 'Sorry we don't have any. Because GOD FORBID they open all 3 windows. I know the post office is notorious for being slow, but the wait time at mine is CRAZY.


I have to pre-order to new FOB CD since it comes out on the 16th. I still can't understand why iTunes doesn't have it listed for preorder yet. But they can list shit that doesn't come out until January and February. What about all the Countdown to Fall Out Boy stuff they were doing why do a countdown to an album and not even put it up for preorder.

So I've gotten my mom into Death Note. Mostly from watching the first movie and then when I was watching the 2 volumes of the anime I own, she came into my room and was like what are you watching. So I explained and after I was done with them she all but stole them so she could watch them and then I rented the other volumes from Netflix. We're up to volume 7 now with the infamous L episode. Which pissed her off so much she had to pause the dvd leave her room and play her computer games for a while before she could continue.

My mom always hijacks my dvds if it's not Fruits Basket it's FLCL or Spirited Away. I'm not sure what to give her next. I guess I'll give her The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Since she saw the box and wanted to know what it was. I'd give her Last Exile but I'm not sure she'll like it. But she's so weird she just may love it and hold it hostage like been been doing with Fruits Basket and FLCL. And since I only have a few complete series I don't wanna get her started on a series that I haven't finished and Netflix doesn't have. Like Marmalade Boy, I have the first box set and Netflix doesn't have the second set. And every now and then she'll ask where is the rest of Mayonnaise Boy. I love how she never remember the name of a series and will call if something completely crazy.

Let's see I've preordered a couple games and some calendars.

Persona 4 and it's Social Link Expansion Pack comes out December 9th. - I'm SO looking forward to this game. I still have to order the guide for this game.

Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories comes out December 2nd. - I never finished the DS version of this game. Maybe it's time for me to dig it out and finally finish it.

Persona 2: Eternal Sin - Not really a preorder but Atlus sent out an email saying that they are re-releasing the for game a limited time through Amazon. And I was lucky enough to snag a copy after they came back in stock. It's a PS1 game and I just hope that my PS2 is healthy enough to play PS1 games it's been giving me a few problems lately, mostly with playing DVDs. I haven't played any games in the longest but I guess if it can play a DVD it could play a game. Right?

I got my Hitman Reborn manga Calendar in the mail earlier in the week. I was a little peeved that YesAsia rolled it up. But it unrolled really nicely I didn't even have to put it over book and whatnot to get it to lay flat. I guess it's because the pages weren't as thick as normal calendar pages.

I also got email saying that my Kingdom Hearts calendar preorder is shipping. I still need to order the BLEACH Manga version calendar. I was going to order it from YesAsia but if it's like this years manga calender (which I believe it is.) I won't be because I don't want them to roll it up. So I'll order a copy from Play-Asia plus it's cheaper there. I just hope they won't roll don't up.

I'll have about $13-$15 bucks on my debt card after the Persona 2 order goes though. But I do have $200 to add my card so I won't have to worry about the other charges not going through. I plan to put the money on my card tomorrow or on Saturday if I don't go out tomorrow.

Just a tiny post of what I forgot to added to my last post. Since I was too lazy to go back and add it or make a new post.

So I finished Breaking Dawn last week Sunday or Monday. And I was completely DISGUSTED!! I have never finished a book and have been as pissed as I was at the end of Breaking Dawn. Sure I've read books and didn't like how they ended. But this is a whole another story. The entire book was crap, I can't believe the Twilight series is a best selling series. It's really such a shame that girls are reading these craptastic books and see Bella as a role model and/or want a Edward of their own.

During certain parts of the book especially after Bella became a vampire I would roll my eyes her descriptions of things. Peals of laughter, high soprano voice. Give me a fucking break! I never cared for Bella's descriptions but they became even more annoying once she was a vampire. And please don't get my started on Renesme. The more this damn girl grew the more she reminded me of one of the kids from Village of the Damned. I kept expecting her to lash out like on of them. But God forbid that perfect little girl who is the product of perfect Edward and super special snowflake Bella do anything that isn't completely perfect.

Breaking Dawn has to be the worst book I have EVER READ! I hope I never come across a book that bad again in my life! I really could have done without the story being told from Bella's point of view. I believe it if was just told like a normal story instead of through any of the characters eyes it might have been a little bit better.

Enough about Breaking Dawn. I'm up to chapter 4 or 5 of The Host and so far so good. I hope this doesn't end up another Mary-Sue self-insert like the Twilight series. Though I don't care for the main chapters name: Melanie Stryder. It sounds to much like Stephenie Meyer to me. As soon as I read it I thought 'Oh dear God not another Mary-Sue based off of SMeyer.'

It's been a good what 5 weeks since my last post which isn't anything new. Since nothing really happens with me to require me to post more often.

On Sunday me, my mom, my brother and his wife went to the Cat Show @ MSG. Me and my mom went 2 or 3 years ago when they had the cloned cats. We had fun I wished I had a camera so I could take pictures. I saw some of the meanest cats. It was funny to see their faces all turned up. I also saw this huge cat that slept the entire time. It wasn't huge like Prince/Princess chunk it was just really big.
We also looked at all the kittens and cats up for adoption. All the kittens were SOOOO CUTE!

Then after the cat show we went to Yonkers to go the Empire City Casino. We had originally just went to get the card thingie but we ending up staying until like 8. We didn't get home until almost 9:30. We are supposed to again Thursday this week or Wednesday or Thursday next week. And hopefully next month on the 22nd since that is my birthday. I walked away with $137.25 well actually $133 and some change after I bought McDonald's. Which is pretty damn good since when we got there I didn't have a dime to my name. One of the funny things that happened was as soon as we walked in one of the guards damn near jumped on me and was like ID. I expected that because even though I'll be turning 23 next month I look about 13. And after that none of the other people who worked there looked at me twice but almost everyone else kept doing double takes every time they saw me. I guess they refused to believe I was of age.
