‘Hyrule Historia’ overtakes ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ for Amazon’s No. 1 spot

For anyone who has ever loved Zelda, this is happy, happy news indeed. :D

He's taken down Ganondorf, now he's kicked E.L. James off her throne. Link is truly the Hero of Time. ;D

Another win for Nintendo! ♥

Remember when I made a signal boost on my LJ in support of LGBTQ YA novels?

The good news is Stranger, the "Yes to Gay YA" post-apocalyptic novel, will finally be published on Winter 2014.

*boogie dances*

So um... stuff. My cousin's wedding was a success! It was fun and light-hearted, and not your traditional wedding either, according to my Mom and relatives. There was boogie-ing down the aisle and later everyone had a nice party and dinner at the recession. When it was time for the bouquet toss, Beyonce's "All the Single Ladies" was playing as the signal. :o

House on the Rock was so worth it! Mom and my brother and I had to hurry so we could have the full tour before it closed, but what I got to see was wow. I'd totally go again to catch what I've missed! Like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. :o There was a room where newspaper articles of major disasters like the Hindenburg Disaster and the sinking of the Titanic were hung on their own frames. It was kind of spooky, especially when you were surrounded by happy, lighthearted aircraft memorabilia. :o

( Tour of House on the Rock beneath the cut! Photos inside! :D )

Edit: And after spending an hour organizing my pictures, nearly my entire post got cut off. D: dhgkjsghkjdsghkjdgh I have more House on the Rock stuff though, nom. Apparently I'm lacking sleep because I don't know how the hell I suddenly lost half of everything. D:

Guys, guys. Guess who completed her Pokedex. Time: 361: 04

( All I get is dialogue and a certificate? Damn. )



ISSHU REGION HERE I COME

Funny how the mood fluctuates depending what music is playing and what kinds of fanart you're looking at.

Since my Mystery Dungeon picspam post on ontdpokemon and people unfortunately finding themselves in the same predicament as I am (aka gigantic PMD fans but their fanart folder is emptier than it should be, except for a couple moths), so I browsed pixiv in hopes of recovering some of my favorite pieces. To those of you who have played the final Special Episode of Explorers of Sky, I dare you to look at this picture while listening to this song. After a while of repeated listenings, you'll end up like this.

Then Puri discovers hot Morty/Eusine pr0n (Obviously NSFW, and since it's Rule 34, there might be ads. :P) she's never seen before when she least expects it. On Rule 34 of all friggin' places, and that site isn't exactly known for its yaoi. No censorship! No rape or weepy ukes! Morty doesn't even have his headband on, dang. :o Puri's mood changes to this.

I wonder what kind of sound effect "nnk" is though. Oh well, pr0n's goofy like that.

Speaking of pr0n. Save for being trapped with my Mom and Dad on last minute shopping, I spent most of my day writing smut for Jean's birthday~ ♥

WISCONSIN IS BEAUTIFUL GUYS.

Seriously, there's trees (different kinds!), colors (GREEN), lakes, barns & silos, birds, fireflies, gorgeous skies, jgdkslgdlk oh yeah Wisconsin Dells AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. It's eye candy everywhere I look. The sunrises/sunsets are amazing here. *-*

Parents had me up about all night (mostly drills from Mom) and what's worse, they blasted music when I was trying to sleep. No, talking to them didn't make it better, all they did was lower the volume. Ugh, and I can still hear it. The plane ride was terrible. The cushions were nice, but I wish I could say the same about the chair itself. I was weary and wanted shut-eye, but no. My back hurt, I got a crick in my neck, and I couldn't get comfortable no matter how I positioned myself. A couple good things did come from the trip though. Mom and I went to a book shop to get ourselves something to read; Mom got Chuck Palahniuk's Tell-All and I got *dundundundun* Watership Down. I always wanted to read that book! Thank goodness for Steph's kindness and Dannie's warm and cozy bed.

The Dolan's house is comfy and amazing and they have an outdoor kitty named Striker that took a love to me right away. I got up for a closer view of the woods and she was rubbing against my legs. ;; I got to meet Matt, Brianna's future husband, and he's truly a great guy. Hilarious, warm-hearted, and fun to be around. Uncle Ricke brought a travel edition of Apples To Apples, so we had fun and laughs playing that (I kept picking Mom's cards although I was clearly trying to avoid her. ;;) I got to show a few of my music videos finally, though later people were mostly chatting. Ricke seemed genuinely interested in my work though, and was deeply focused in watching and listening to me explain things. ;; Later, Matt realized that I made these instead of watching someone else's vids and he said he was impressed. :o

Yesterday we went to Noah's Ark! Aka the biggest waterpark in the world according to the consensus. It's been what, years since I've been there? I missed the place so much. Flash Flood's gotta be my favorite. You get double the benefit; a splash from coming down, and a splash from standing on the bridge~ ♥ The first time, we were all chanting, "One more time! One more time!" Hehe. We got Dippin' Dots and crummy food (nomnom Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough dots. Not-so-nom to the so-called "chicken stix" I ate. :P), and I waited below while everyone else committed suicide on The Plunge and Point of No Return. The Stingray is amazing too! My brother and I were holding a tube, I remember getting nervous because I was facing backwards and it looked steep, and my brother said in a soothing way, "It's going to be all right." Aww. ;; My brother can be really sweet like that sometimes. Anyway, we made the drop and it was a ton of fun. Definitely one of my favorites even if we had to cut out of line twice due to the length. XD

Note to self: next time, bring shoes 'cause wearing your wet watershoes inside a restaurant is not fun. :P We went to Famous Dave's for dinner (whose mascot is a cannibalistic pig) and Brianna, Matt and I doodled wicked atrocities all over the coloring paper until our orders arrived. It was a BBQ restaurant, and I was already feeling pretty full, so all I had was a basket of fries and some ice-cold water. Nomnomnom. The moon was gorgeous that night too. I always felt like it was an alternative version of Earth, with all the gray spots being the continents such as Europe and South America. Though tonight I saw a couple of eyes and a face too. Kinda creepy and mesmerizing in a way, though thankfully nothing like Majora's moon. XD

Who needs Internet when I'm having fun? Remind me to import Phantom of the Opera and the second Cranberries CD on my computer. I've been loading a ton of stuff from the Dolan music library and all the Talking Heads/Josh Groban/various 80s stuff is gonna do me good when I get home! They even have Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "Beethoven's Last Night!"

Shouldn't the last chapter be called that instead while this one is "Strange Happenings in Town!"? You'll see in a bit. This is one fucked chapter.

( 'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through Alamos, Time and Space was stirring, but Alberto & Tonio the most... )

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd we have no snow in Texas. Just straw. :P

Might as well put in my own seasonal album nomnomnom~ ♥ At least Sarah McLachlan isn't preachy about Christmas. XD

Puri got a 101 on her retake of the Cultural Anthropology exam. AND got an A for the course.

Glad that's over with! *snuggles Explorers of Darkness*

*sets up decorated table with cake and pizza*

Those coming in from fandomsecrets, welcome to my flist! But those already friends, feel free to join too. Socialize! :333 *pumps stereo*

I'm pretty crazy. XD I love to create, so there'll be crack galore. I also have writing and icon journals, but be warned--most of my stuff is oooooooooooold. XDDD;;; And sucks. *cough*

I'm a 19-year-old college student that likes fandom discussion, be it fangirlism or demented ships only I would think of. XD I'm waiting for November so I can type for NaNoWriMo 2007. (Bombed last year. XD But hey! Almost made it to 10,000, that's not bad) I'm sort of in a rush right now, and I kind of stink describing myself accurately. XDD;;; Best to know me through talking to me, reading my journal and such. XD Most of my journal entries consist of Earthbound fangirlings, but don't worry if you haven't played the game. :3 And hey, I'll be happy to point directions and emulator roms for people if they wish. ;D

God I must sound egotistical. XD Better poke on German homework before I start regretting it tomorrow.
