Oct. 17th, 2013 06:10 am- We found the stray dog a new home! Now she has space to run around as much as she wants. :3 Plus she would've been unhappy for the long-run at our house, since it's so crammed and messy. Plus Mom has allergies and her eyes were turning red.
- I signed up for Yuletide at the last possible minute. <.<;;; I've also been playing Pokemon X like crazy. Hopefully I'll be finished on time so I'll be able to include it for my requests on time for PokeExchange. :3
My final team hasn't been decided yet, since I keep finding Pokemon in tall grass that I squeal over. Here's my friend code so we can play together. :3
Giselle: 3454-1097-4415
Mwoiiiiiiing~! ♥

Aug. 23rd, 2013 11:30 amLong time no post! Things have been extremely hectic and busy. Namely because I'm getting ready for college. :o
I'm going to the University of Corpus Christi as an English major. I'm signing up for Composition II and U.S. History to 1865 this semester once my meningitis hold has finally been cleared up. And I've joined a video game club that also goes into the history of old*sk00l games and arcade, so it won't be just Halo and FPSs like the last one I tried at Austin. I just want to finally do well and have a good college experience. ;;
I turned 25 yesterday, and I kept my party relatively simple. We have a half-vanilla, half-chocolate cake! My family's still struggling with finances (thank god we don't have to pay for college until the end of the semester!), but we managed to scrounge enough so I could finally afford a Nintendo 3DS. I'll save up for games like Animal Crossing on my own. A 3DS and going to college are more than good enough as gifts for me! ;; Jean drew me adorable birthday smut, and I've been cheering him on so he'd be more confident in his pretty art. ;; I'm planning on getting my boyfriend to watch Coraline with me, nomnomnom. I've also successfully got Rachel hooked on Digimon! Her favorite character so far is Yamato. :3
My sleep's messed up again, but I should be able to go to Student Services tomorrow. You bet I'm gonna work my ass off!

Stupid things to do: Lock yourself out of your own house and forget the key, right after your Dad has left for San Antonio to pick up your Mom and brother at the airport.
As a result, I literally spent the entire night in the front porch of my house. :( No sleep, feet hurt, itchy legs, and no working phone. Auuuuugh. So I walked over to the nearest 24-hour-Whataburger to talk to Dad (whom I couldn't reach until morning) and my boyfriend, and dear god is Jimmy a life-saver. ;; When it got to morning, I stayed at Whataburger because I knew it was going to get hot as hell and I didn't want to get heat stroke. There was a large black guy in glasses who was worried about me and thought I was a runaway. I explained to him the situation, and he was kind enough to buy brunch for me. ;; We talked a bit and I introduced myself. His name is Alberto, and he used to be in the Navy. As a result, he's traveled all around the world, and just recently got back from Panama. :) He wasn't much of a talker and his voice was kinda gruff-sounding, but he was really nice. :) I also met a women who saw my Pikachu T-shirt and thought Pikachu was some sort of bee creature. "My granddaughter loves bees and decorates her room with them. Your shirt made me think of her." Aww. :)
Jimmy was able to pick me up after a few hours, and he had a spare key to my house. I have the greatest boyfriend ever. ;; After that long day, I quickly got some computer stuff out of the way and went straight to bed.
Anyone remember the yaoi anime Bronze? Zar's done a recap of it! If you ever wanted to know what "yaoi hands" or other such anatomic blunders common in yaoi, Bronze's animation is a textbook example. It's glorious. XD While I get no enjoyment out of atrocities like Okane ga nai, yaoi anime like Ai no Kusabi and Boku no Sexual Harassment ("COOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRN!") are so over-the-top and bizarre that they turn around to being hilaribad. Which is fun. :)
Today is the start of what I call DigiFridays! :D Rachel and I have agreed that we'd watch the first three seasons of Digimon, starting tonight! I hope she likes it! Me, I'm putting on my seatbelt for a nostalgia trip~ ♥ We're watching the first season dubbed and the second season subbed, and we don't know for Tamers yet. I didn't watch Tamers back in the day, so this'll be entirely new for me! :o

Hey ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nightflightnightflight! Ninten came in the mail today. He's so cute! ;; I've set him up in my room so I can see his smiling face greeting me~ ♥ Thank you so much!
I saw a guy at the library who looked like Marius! Had the same hair style, though he was blond instead of brunette. He even had a vest! I think he was helping an 8-year-old boy with his homework or something. Aww. I would've loved to take a picture of him, though I don't want him to feel like I'm stalking him. Your looks just remind me of one of my novel characters, that's all! ;;
Other than that, I'm just feeling really blah. I want to play Animal Crossing: New Leaf with everyone else, but I don't have a 3DS yet. :( I could watch more Anime, but everytime I do, I'm always having trouble getting the damn TV to work, and then after that, figuring out which remote lets you move between DVD options. Ugh. That and my Mom and Dad watch TV all the time, so I could get kicked out at any moment. This goddamn sucks.
Why is it that I get fic ideas for Kink Bingo when I'm not in Kink Bingo, then as soon as I sign up for a round, my motivation dries up like a puddle in a desert? 'Cause I wanna do an "OFF" fic where Zacharie gives the Judge a bath (and maybe Valerie) for the washing/cleaning square. I've also been listening to a lot of Radiohead because it provides an OFFy atmosphere.
Back to sleep until tomorrow then.
(DW wouldn't let me crosspost this entry for some reason. Bleeeegh)

True Art is Tragedy rears its ugly head.
Jun. 21st, 2013 04:58 am.....I can go on a 30 minute rant on why it's aged horribly.....fuck it I'm going to do it anyway. I'm sorry Zaria I think Mother 3 is a fantastic game but earthbound......the game looks awful by even the standards at the time cause Final Fantasy Vi and Chrono Trigger came out at the same time, sound quality is just terrible. The game pretty much sucks Ness' dick and he goes through no hardships, he gets it easy, he doesn't really suffer any hardships aside from being homesick, the story yes it's silly and it's not taking it's self seriously but at the same time it doesn't do a good job at all, and overall while it is important and does set an important part in history, the game overall hasn't aged well at all. Games like Final Fantasy Vi, Chrono Trigger, and hell Super Mario RPG have aged better. I think Mother 3 is a better game cause it's soundtrack is much better, the character sprites are better, and the combing system is a well done mechanic that makes the game a blast to play. Also think Lucas is a better character cause of all the hardships he goes through but he still carries on....Ness gets it so easy it just makes me wanna kill the brat....which is why that's how my video game review of Earthbound is going to end like that and the Mother 3 review is going to end with me hugging Lucas as he fades away. But year Earthbound......overrated as fuck
I like Zar's response to this: "Are you secretly Pokey Minch? Cause wow you've got a major hate-on for Ness going on here." XD
Now time for me to give my two cents. No hardships? Really? 'Cause being a regular kid who holds the weight of responsibility to save the world from an alien eldritch abomination (and to prevent a shitty dystopia that happens only ten years into the future) totally isn't taxing at all. Nuh uh. Neither is being impeded by a sociopathic next-door neighbor (who may or may not have once been your friend) who exists to make your life hell and endangering everyone and everything you've ever cared about just because he could. Did Magicant mean absolutely nothing to you? How about the fact that his soul got transferred into a robot so he could go back to the past to defeat an incomprehensible evil with no guarantee of ever coming back? Don't you think that maybe those things would stick with Ness for the rest of his life?
Just because Ness doesn't "suffer" as much as Lucas doesn't mean that he's never endured hardships or that he's any less of a hero. Hell, one of the things that made Earthbound (and Earthbound 0, for that matter) refreshing was because the main protagonist was a normal suburban boy with a regular childhood as opposed to the angsty knight with the tragic and/or complicated past that is so common in RPGs. Are you saying you'd think Ness would be a better character if his dog was torn apart by Starmen, his mother turned into a brainwashed robot for Giygas, and his sister has been sold to slavery? Should Ness wear his black Mr. Saturn t-shirt and climb up to Mt. Ordeals to contemplate his navel? Seriously, I'll take Ness over the latest cynical Gackt-expy anyday.
I wonder how much Ness & Lucas fanfiction pisses him off. 'Cause there's no way Lucas would be best friends with such a brat, right?

Hello new friends from ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
hs_worldcup! *gives everybody flower crowns*
I'm Puri, and this is my humble journal! I'm in Team Noir, but a few of my favorite ships include Dave♥Tavros, John♥Karkat, Dirk♠Caliborn, and Roxy♥Calliope. :3 I'm hoping to publish my original fiction and become an established author, though the process is slow. Thankfully, I have a loving and supportive boyfriend, and my adoration for him lights up the entire galaxy~ ♥
I'm currently catching up on a lot of unfinished books, anime, manga and games that I have been putting off for too long. I'm currently watching "Princess Tutu" and reading "Smoke & Mirrors" by Neil Gaiman, and I just finished getting the true ending and bonus stinger for "Mad Father." Boy I'm so far behind. :(
I also play Neopets and run an adoption agency there. :)

Famous Media Genderflipped Cover Game
May. 9th, 2013 09:37 pmOkay, now that I've taken a few deep breaths, let's play a game inspired by Maureen Dowd's twitter, 'cause it's awesome.
Instructions: Take a favorite book or imagine your favorite video game/movie/webcomic/etc. was a book. If its original creator was a guy, genderflip him and give his book a stereotypically girly cover. If a female creator, genderflip her and give her book a badass/decent cover that accurately shows what her book is about.
( Here's a few examples I made to get you started. :) )

"Just endure it a bit."
Mar. 6th, 2013 08:44 amGod, the radar stuff at the hot springs with Ionia was awful. So why did I laugh?
Aww. I forgotten that I named my Favorite Thing that.
Zar's doing a screencap adventure of Mother 3, so I've picked up my file to keep ahead of the recaps. Last night I finished Chapter 4! Without spoiling anything, I want to hug Duster and be his friend. He needs all the love and support and pick-me-ups he can get. ;;
I find myself really disliking Wes(s) a lot more this time around. I dunno, probably after experiencing it with my Mom during her manic episodes, I feel a lot more sensitive and uncomfortable whenever there's verbal/emotional abuse. Not a "ZOMG IM BEING TRIGGERED" thing, I just find myself identifying with the victim a lot more in a "I feel you, man" way. Reading Misery by Stephen King got a whole lot scarier because Annie Wilkes did and said things that my mother had, and the way Mother Gothel in "Tangled" complinsults (???) Rapunzel always unsettled me and I never saw her as a good parent. We'll see if Wess redeems himself in later chapters, but until then, I'm :/ towards him.
Cori Falls would have a heart attack if she ever played Mother 3. She thought Team Rocket had it rough? Weeeeeeell... :P
Speaking of Cori, I finally got my boyfriend James (we'll call him Jimmy to avoid confusion with Team Rocket!Pod!James) to read her writing and rants! We skipped ahead to the DnD session of "A Fair Fight", which he identified as Edition 2. He said there weren't any inaccuracies he could spot with the game they were playing, and if it wasn't for the Ash-bashing, the ridiculously OOC Team Rocket and Gary, and the Mary-Sues, it would've been a heartwarming story about a group of friends playing DnD. The Pod!Rockets and the Sues bullying a 12-year-old reduced to a mentally retarded mindset aside, Jimmy pointed out that the DM Sue had deliberately screwed him over, rather than Ash digging his own grave like Cori insisted.
Jimmy: *in response to the DM Sue literally slapping Ash* Hitting your fellow players. That's totally acceptable DM behavior!
Jimmy's reactions are pretty great to watch. He pumped his fists going "Awesome! :DDD" when it looked like a particularly bad segment was about to begin, laughed his ass off at the Ash-bashing scenes because they reminded him of injokes and Chris-chan, wanted to shoot himself at the obvious Author Filibusters, and pulled up reaction videos to particular segments that made him cringe.
Jimmy: *reading "The Thrill of Defeat"* *facepalm* Oh god. Really?
Me: Which part?
Jimmy: "Velvety"? Ugh.
Me: Velvety what?
Jimmy: *points out "soft, velvety kisses"*
Me: Oh, that's common in romance novels. You have no idea...
Funny how this is one of the things that sets him off, but he takes the crazier shit in stride. :P
Reading Cori with Jimmy is making me want to write a parody Team Rocket fic with the most obvious and out-of-place Author Filibusters possible. You can totally tell Jessie, James and Meowth aren't interested in the same things as I am, especially when they're discussing their favorite Cinema Snob episodes! Oh, and throw in Mary-Sue friends with names like Kanaya Ashtear, Lucca Andonuts, and Homura Lovecraft. They could share their love of Tori Amos and Patrick Wolf. (Since Cori already beat me to Nine Inch Nails. :P)
It makes me wonder what would happen if Cori was in Homestuck fandom. Aside from her blatantly denying any slash in the series (despite it clearly stated to be CANON), I imagine she'd be an Eridan/Feferi shipper and woobify Eridan to the max, while also shipping Karkat/Terezi. Gamzee and Equius would creep her out, she wouldn't like Doc Scratch or Jack Noir, and she'd absolutely detest Vriska and bash her every chance she'd get. Then she'd ragequit the comic canon after Feferi's death, because she'd plug her ears screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO ERIDAN WOULD NEVER DO THIS TO HER!!!!111!11" and then proceed to write AUs where this was all in Vriska's sick fantasies and that Eridan and Feferi are actually living Happily Ever After with a billion grub children.
Of course, if I tell Jimmy that I'm writing a fic where Jessie, James and Meowth are Homestuck geeks, he'll tell me to choke myself. XD Haha. :P

I've started volunteer work at the Cattery yesterday! I'll be working there three days a week, with two hours for each day. I'll be making friends with all the kitties there~! ♥ God, it feels good to finally become a functioning member of society, even if it's not the same as a job that pays money. I couldn't be happier to get kitty scratches all over my hands, nomnomnomnomnom~ ♥
Sometimes, I think about becoming a director of animated films. Seems unlikely and impossible, considering people's viewpoints of animation (gdsgsdjg dammit Animation Age Ghetto and All Adult Animation is South Park!) and the lack of female directors in the industry, hell, lack of female directors in general. And hey, if cultural viewpoints and gender don't hold me back, ableism will. :/ The first animal shelter I tried volunteering at? The lady didn't think I'd do well simply because I "couldn't follow simple directions", despite said directions being vague as hell. But I still think about it from time to time. If she had told me her damn name, I wouldn't have to walk around the entire shelter trying to look for her. :/
Anyway, getting off-topic. I still fantasize about directing animated movies from time to time. And after thinking about this thread, it reminded me of a movie I considered making long before the Lorax movie with Danny DeVito was announced.
How would I direct a Lorax movie? Here's a little something I cooked up.
( Best of all? No woobie moe Onceler With Leather Gloves! )
I also thought of making a movie adapt of "Halloween is Grinch Night!" but that gets its own entry in the future. Maybe.

Jan. 2nd, 2013 08:36 pmAlso, if you're wondering what I've written for Yuletide, it was a Twisted Princess fanfic. :3 You can check it out here.
Holiday stress galore. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Dec. 25th, 2012 04:33 pmI'll have to ask for more time to finish my friend's fic. ;; Technically, I could finish it today, but I'd rather send her a late quality product than one that's on-time-but-shitty. My friend deserves better than that! ;;
So here's what I got so far:
- "The Fantastic Adventures of Unico" and "Unico in the Island of Magic" DVDs
- "A Clockwork Orange" DVD
- "Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon" on DS
- "Sgt. Frog" #1 from Sis
- A copy of "Aesop's Fables"
- The Norton Critical edition of "The Picture of Dorian Gray" containing both the 1890 Lippincott's and 1891 versions.
- A gilded book containing four complete novels by H.G. Wells ("The Time Machine," "The Island of Dr. Moreau," "The Invisible Man," and "The War of the Worlds."
- Cutie Mark Crusaders Wedding Flower Fillies set
- Target card with $150
- Soft Hello Kitty! shorts
- A six-month paid DW account from Sara Jaye. ;; And icons to go with it!
- A Red/Lucas ficlet from Hikaru, nomnomnom~
- Chocolate snowman. Nomnomnomnomnom.
From Yuletide, I got an Earthbound story about Jeff. ;; I also got a gorgeous fanart of Andy & Marius drawn for me by Zar. ♥
I'll make Yuletide recs later. I still have a bunch of stories to read and so little time. ;; I've also been gathering a bunch of toys and stuffed animals to donate to the women's shelter today. Busy busy busy!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you~ ♥♥♥

Just a few short notes.
Dec. 3rd, 2012 02:26 am- I finished Picture of Dorian Gray~ Mwoiiiiiiing~! ♥♥♥ Absolutely adored it, of course. The one New Year's Resolution I actually accomplished, haha. XD
- The Wizard in "Harvest Moon: Animal Parade" is in love with me now~ ♥ I finally bought a Level 2 House so he could finally move in, so I gotta raise him to nine hearts and get the Blue Feather~
- I'm completely unready for December and I'm nervous as hell about Yuletide and my Christmas fic for my friend. Auuuuuuugh. DDD:
- The new Trixie episode was absolutely amazing, which more than made up for that awful CMC episode. If I didn't ship Twixie (Twilight Sparkle/Trixie) before, I do now~ ♥♥♥ Also, Zecora training Twilight? Fuck yes.
- Pokemon feels incredibly limiting without working Wi-Fi. :(
- I've got your present,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
redwoodalchan! Thank you so much! The snowy owl plushie is adorable. ;;

Happy Thanksgiving~!
Nov. 22nd, 2012 09:20 pmI'm visiting my family for Thanksgiving week, nomnomnom~ We overworked ourselves so we're actually having the feast tomorrow, but boy oh boy did we have fun. I even got to invite my boyfriend and introduce him to my sister~ ♥ The siblings, Jimmy and I played Smash Bros. together, and then Jimmy and I watched "South Park" in my room. :3
Now it's time for me to give thanks...
- My family may be dysfunctional, but we care about each other a lot, which is more than I can say for others. We know how to laugh, give kindness, and support each other, so I'm grateful for that.
- Even when things go wrong, I've got shelter I can go to and friends to support me. Dave's kindness and hospitality means a lot to me, and by living in his apartment, I'll be able to grow independence. My friends keep me sane, and I thank each and every one of them~
- My boyfriend Jimmy, for being the best boyfriend in the entire world. I'm so happy I was able to invite him over~ Mwoiiiiiiiiing~! ♥
Hope you all had a Happy Turkey Day~! ♥♥♥

Greetings from the friending meme!
Nov. 15th, 2012 03:57 pmMy name is Puri, and I've been gaming since I learned how to crawl. I'm pretty old*sk00l in my tastes, since most of the stuff I like tends to come from the 80s or 90s. I'm humongously behind on Anime, though I've been on a Madoka high for some time now. When it comes to fandom, I tend to stay in my own corner of the sandbox; I prefer to read about fandom wank than taking part of it. I love writing fanfiction (more on that in a bit), but recently I've been delving into original fiction to realize my dream of being published. You'll hear about my novel exploits now and then. I'm writing an epic "Sweet Bro & Hella Jeff" erotica trilogy, then changing the names and rolling in dollars just like E.L. James. Just kidding.
I've signed up for Yuletide this year, so I've been brainstorming a fic for my recipient! Once I've finished my assignment, I plan on writing an overdue Smash Bros. fic for a dear friend of mine. Depending whether or not I have time and energy left, I might be able to do a few treats. No promises though, 'cause procrastination is one of my biggest weaknesses. And I've got MSTs under the wings! I like a good badfic now and then, and it's even funner to make fun of them! I may or may not do "Cupcakes", depending on if I can make the jokes balance the erm... violent nature of the fic.
One of these days, I'll post a gigantic list of all my ships. Beware.
