~*Forever Dreaming*~

So as I tend not to update all the time, and I do like to gain new LJ/IJ friends... Decided to make a quick sticky post about me. =D

Born and raised in San Francisco, so I have much pride for my city and its sports teams (Go Niners! Go Giants!). I also tend to refer to SF as the City. All other "Cities" are just fakers. =P When asked (and surprisingly, asked a lot) I always say I'm American (also proud of being one despite all the stupid things our Government does), but I do have pride for my Central American roots (I'm half Guatemalen/Salvadorenian) and of being a Latina. Raised Catholic, I still consider myself one though really I believe in it all and don't give a crap what the Vatican says. Living with mum and dad and grandma. Have two older brothers, oldest has 2 kids not with him anymore and middle just had his first last year. I'm single (alas) and have just begun the next quarter of my life.

Currently looking for a job and taking a break from school. Lifegoal is to become an author, so I've been attempting to finish my first novel this past year. Most of the time I'm online doing fannish things or hanging out in chatrooms. Love all the social media/web2.0 stuff so best way to connect to me that way. =D

I love reading/writing/arting/videogaming. I'm into Anime/Manga and Sci-Fi/Fantasy mostly but of course tons of other things. I enjoy tv/movie watching and usually have lots to watch with the fam. I consider at the moment my two major fandoms to be HarryPotter and StarTrek though I do dabble in tons others.

I love both het and slash pairings, and for some reason tend not to ship the canon ships of most of the fandoms I'm in... ^^;; I draw and write fannish things from gen to nearly pwp status so fair warning. With very minor exceptions, I don't flock anything and am rather open about myself and my woes. And now, a listing of fave things to see if we truly are compatabile if LJdom... =P

( Faves )
( Web 2.0 )

Lastly, to all the RL friends I've made this summer who's friending me, you're awesome~! As I currently have no life, I'm always up to hanging out so just give me a hollah and let's fangirl together about stuff haha.

not sure why this is hard to write, been staring here for a few weeks, since I finally came back online after about a month hiatus from the internet, computer, and even my own cell phone. what caused it? stuff that happened/not happened at the baptism (bro wanting more money, making homophobic jokes to our uncle, paying only attention to his kid's mother's side of the family, and expecting all was well even when none of us showed up to the park despite bringing goodie bags and FOOD that morning), plus personal health relating to my PCOS. i was at an all time low in my life and not even fandom for a bit could make it better.

but along with seeing a doctor and getting some stronger pills, and an impromptu comment party on my IJ from my fellow snupiners (seriously guys, you don't know how much that made me better. *hugs*), i thought i was well enough to come back. so i've been lurking, mainly in chat and reading flist... i may not be commenting but i'm am reading and trying to keep up y'all. -D this whole thing kinda battered my muse and despite getting so many awesome plot bunnies/tribbles, i just keep staring at blank pages and canvases...

still jobless but not for lack of trying, and planning to go back part time to school next semester. other than that was able to go to y-con to take my mind off things and had a relatively good time. been keeping up with lots of shows so if y'all want to chat about shows and such just comment or hit me up on aim/msn/yahoo/irc... XD (shows i follow: tbbt, himym, acidentally on purpose, ncis: la, flash forward, castle, white collar, v, cougartown, kinda eastwick, modern family, smallville for some reason, numb3rs... and i think that's about it lol)

And finally a meme....

1.comment with any character you know I've written.
2. receive three bits of trivia about their sexuality: practices, preferences, experiences, fantasies, kinks, etc.
3. Profit!

Firstly thanks all who replied to my rather ranty post about my bro. I was really out of it for a few days after and your kind words helped. *hugs* He called and left a message on my mom's phone the other day apologising and saying it was because of his painkillers he went off like that. w/e. it's not the first time i've gotten attitude from him for no good reason. I dunno if I really wanna go to the baptism. we'll see.

So in theory, will be making a hospital appointment either tomorrow or the day after cause the pills I have aren't working and I really don't like being anemic on top of it all. Other than that just trying to get the energy to finish my port/resume and go onto job hunting again. Need to still get the money from my last web design job as I sure could use the $500 on a netbook.

My writing dryspell has been broken so hopefully that means i can FINALLY finish a few wips I've been juggling. Will edit and repost the drabbles I did today but in case you're in the mood for awesome au star trek drabbles (mostly kirk/bones but got a uhura/gaila one too XD) check out the awesome bridge2sickbay comm =D! I also did a crack parody crossover of sailormoon there with Bones/Uhura... It would have been more awesome but so not used to writing drabbles in under 30min.

So to-do:
responses to meme and more meme-age XD
finisih resume 2.0
finish portfolio 2.0
upload photos
make belated art goodies from azkatraz post
start on new project blog
start prepping for nanowrimo
respond to comments/flist/email
make a new layout

Oh, I believed I mentioned it in twitter a while back but dont think made a note of it.Finally updated my art gallery and moved my f-d.net domain hosting from insiderhosting to dreamhost as i got a free 2 year package from them cause of geocities. XD My gallery link is in the sidebar, warning there'll be some NWS slash art in there. =D

*LUFFS TO ALL*

sigh. family drama. hoo fucking ray. this is all rambly. swearing and prolly tmi of my life that no one cares for.
( Read more... )

bad enough i'm dealing with personal health probs, my friend paranoia raging high again, now this. I just feel numb.
sorry all, just needed to get this out.

So tomorrow's my birthday. I'll be 26. I figure it's been too long of too many just archived twitter messages and thought a real post was needed. Well, I've been wanting to post for a few weeks now, of various things. Of the major meta-ing i wanted to do when i jumped into the nu!trek fandom (yep, star trek has been keeping my attenting for a bit now despite having originally disliked the new movie), of a recent death in the neighborhood but it was like family, of the ups and downs i go through daily and, of course of my birthday tomorrow. Nothing special as it is the middle week and lately my mind hasn't been able to comprehend PLANNING AHEAD (and with what's tentatively planned for July, that's a bad thing). My parents took the day off but mum has a doctor's appointment and she got called in for jury duty. dunno really why my father took the day off as he didn't have anything really planned either. But he needs the rest when he can so I don't mind.

Pretty much didn't pass any of my classes in the spring as I kinda just gave up at spring break. i think part of it was crushed that i couldn't make up a class and it would take me longer to get out of City.

Had planned to take one class in the summer but never got around to it. had planned to get a job too but as i'm too selfish to not cancel my july plans, and not being able to find the kind of job i wanted (earlier on, haven't checked recently) jobless. Well, I have a web design commission, but dunno how much I'll get paid for that. I'm just hoping it'll cover my plane ride to LA for a masq that my mum doesn't want me to go to cause she's probably babied me too much in life she doesn't know how not to freak out when i do things with out them (in the rare times that I do do such things).

Told pip the other day I wanted to take a break (which is funny since tech haven't i been on break since the better part of the year?) and not have to worry about school... i'm so freaking close yet feeling so far. but i'm seriously sick of school. there were classes i enjoyed, and Japanese was fun but since I can't take any more till i'm in a different school it feels like why bother... but damn it if a degree didn't help me get the jobs i want.

i wish i had the proper discipline to freelance. i think i could at least make an okay income freelancing and networking. but i'm so lazy, it's really ridiculous and sad y'all. i have the ideas, but no energy to write... to get that novel i promised myself years ago i'd have written before i turned 26...

But tomorrow I'll be 26 and a quarter of my life will be done and what have I done with that first quarter? Nothing that'll keep me going for the next. Don't mind me, just being a bit melodramatic atm.

As much as they hurt me, I miss my old friends. With them I had this illusion of a great close friendship, of believing that people not my family were thinking of me on a daily basis (and i them), and of being cared for in a way that only a physical frienship could. I still have a bit of that, luckily, with some of my HS friends and I'm so grateful for that. And I know that if not for y'all, my online friends, I dunno where I'd be right now, that I wouldn't have the happieness I do have (thank you so much for being here). I don't think I've healed from their breakup so I cling to the ones I have and only make half the effort I used to because I'm afraid anymore and I'll be once again that way-too-clingy-why-are-we-friends kind of person that Tony & Cory and a few other people accused me of being back in the day.

Ugh, maybe I need to get laid... (hah, like that'll happen the way I look) Maybe I just needed to get this out so that hopefully I can sleep again like a somewhat normal person. XD I've somewhat started an exercise program, hopefully I'll stick to it. I'm tired of being lonely.

Hopefully you'll see more from me. Probably a bit more star trek stuff before I get back to snupin (i have one finished fic that I really need to finish the edits on), as star trek's eaten my brain and hey... any creative product is better than NO creative product. It'll be slash (mccoy/bones ftGQw) probably...And probably more art. I've done one art so far (yay, i really want to get back into drawing again) that you can view here, don't worry it's pretty much work safe.

Sorry for the rambling, but I'm just glad I was able to make this post. And sorry, my irrational self doesn't want to LJ-CUT this. *hugs flist* Thanks for putting up with me. Maybe when I'm 26, I'll be easier to handle. ^^

Wrote this in class today. ^_^
Warning big image under cut, hope my handwriting's legible.

So my new year's day egg said I'd be traveling this year... Hope that's true, and hope it's to either Japan or Guatemala so we'll see. =D

If all goes according to plan, this semester will be my last at City College and then in the fall I shall be in SF State, God willing. I haven't made any official resolutions though I hope to get more fandom work done and be organized enough to expand to other fandoms that I follow. Also hope to blog more, and not put it off as I usually do.

My tentative school schedule is as follows:

Who Built America? From Reconstruction to Present - Monday Wednesday Friday - 10.00am - 11.00am

English 1A - Puente! - Monday Wednesday Friday - 11.00am - 12.00pm

Intro to Philosophy - Monday Wednesday Friday - 12.00pm - 1.00pm

Symbolic Logic - Monday Wednesday - 1.00pm - 3.30pm

Solar System - Tuesday Thursday - 2.00pm - 3.30pm

I'm going to have to drop a webdesign portfolio class as I don't have room for it and all these other classes are needed for me to transfer... Ah well... I need to at least pass all these with a C but really.... B or above would be great as my gpa is on the cusp of not being enough for transfer... ^^;;

At any rate, had a pretty good weekend. Went to what hopefully will be a monthly Sangria Party at Cha Cha Cha's. It was only Laura and I as everyone else seemed to be too busy. We went to the one in the Haight so we could walk around Golden Gate Park. Took some pics with an instant camera, dunno when I'll ever get around to sending it to Walgreens heh. We picked random trails and eventually hit the Museums area, got to see what the new Science one now looks like (with a living roof!). Debated ways to break in and steal stuff heheh. Then found the Children's Playground (which is now called Children's Quarter >_>) and found all my fave playing areas have been removed for more little kid friendly crap. =/ at least there's still sand and the stone slide...

But yeah, good food and good Sangria as always. We ordered the large pitcher (which is like 6 glasses easy) and couldn't NOT finish the thing. So yeah let's just say I probably was tipsy and Laura was near drunk. So we walked through haight, got ice cream, found our way to japantown and had a good time at Karaoke. ^_^ Wish the night didn't have to end but she had to be back on bart before midnight to get home, alas.

Yesterday was first day of classes and despite major walking back and forth across campus(map is flat but this is on a mountain x_x), it was a good day. Gave me hope that I'll get in the classes I need and do what i need to do to move on. Cause I seriously need to get on with my life,someway somehow.

Have 200 plus tabs to now get through, may not comment to all posts but just letting you know I am reading them. =D

OH, I was thinking of maybe making a group at GoodReads/Shelfari... And have it be for my flist (and then your flist most likely too XD) as I've been able to read more books of late and love to hear recs and see what else y'all are reading. I know I have got a couple of you on there (some at one, some at the other) so let me know if you're interested in that?

I think that's pretty much all I wanted to say... *hugs flist* Now to do homework and catch up on comments and emails...and finish belated snupin fic... XD

So I fell down today. You know those concrete grate thingies that are everywhere? Well I stepped onto one that wasn't secure, so it pressed down and all my weight landed on my knee. I'm used to falling, I've always been a klutzy gal. I would trip all the time or get knocked down in basketball. I fall, get embarrassed, shake it off and head home to ache. XD But today I was on the floor stunned. Got up to shake it off and took a few steps and nearly fell again, the pain was so strong. I had to lean against a traffic light pole to gather myself. There was no way I'd be able to make it on the Bart, and walk home without getting into a nother mishap. I was crying. I hobbled over to a bench in front of a high end private school and called my brother. It took a few tries as I knew he'd  be dead asleep but I finally got a hold of him. He picked me up and took me home. When my grandmother got home, she gave me a neurotin and I was able to check email real quick before falling asleep and only recently waking up to more pain. Ugh. I needed to get so much done tonight. >_<

SnuSa started and pretty much every other fest. Won't be able to properly enjoy and review till tomorrow. Wanted to hang out in chat with people and have a good time tonight. Also wanted to make wishlist and holiday card posts. oh well. least the hallmark channel has cheesy christmas movies to cheer me up.

Sorry to whine flist. *hugs* Hope everyone was having a better day than me. Now I know why Garfield hates mondays. XD

So I've been sitting on this journal entry for a while. Nothing important about it, just the fact that it'd be a real life entry from me rather thant the twitter dailies. I've not really much to say. Got one of my three festival fics/art done though it was like pulling teeth (even if I came up with a great premise. XD) NaNo's not been as productive as I hoped. Wanted to talk more about it on here but just haven't. School's been going okay but it'll certainly be tight the rest of this semester and next to ensure my going to State. I've been lucky so far, so I hope my luck can hold till I'm guaranteed into state.

Some other good news. My mom finally got a promotion so she's an Assistant Manager now! It's like an extra $200 a week which should mean we won't go a few days near red as often or at all anymore. I'm still looking on the job front but there's a possibility of a retail job at Lucas Arts. =D So I'm really hoping for that. XD

Really need to work on getting a portfolio up so I can get some freelance web design done or get some commishes... Hopefully that'll get done before the end of the year.

Hope all is well with y'all! I may not get a chance to comment on everything, but I do read. ^_^

LJ Posts 2 Make:
BELATED Gift Drabbles (some may be a year old *gasp*)
Updated Wishlist (damn, potterwishes comm is no more)
Belated Black Brothers (Reg Centric) gen fic post (though it is uploaded to my archive if you're really curious XD)
Update on Fic/art I've done... since the last time I've done an update? XD
Memes post. =3

今日、承認手紙を受け取りました。次の秋の学期にサン　フランシスコ　ステート　大学通うでしょう～！

Sorry if the japanese seems off, been a while since I've had to think about it... XD So a month or so ago I applied to State, they requested transcripts and I had planned to send them in January so I could include this semester. I didn't think I would get a word whether or not I'd get in till after they reviewed that. Apparently not, as I got a letter today saying I've been accepted to San Francisco State University! WOOHOO! Of course it's conditional that I complete all the required classes this and next semester. I dropped the ball one class but I'll definitely make up for it next semester (which won't be as light as I thought haha). *fwee!* Hopefully I'll only need a year at state taking the upper level Japanese and whatever gen eds they think I might need and then I can get a real job maybe working at a video game company or one of the manga companies... FINALLY, after the fiasco that was Arts Institute, I'm finally moving on.

Things I need to post: snupin blank calendar wallpaper with icons by lore, a NoOnProp8 post (with a disturbing anecdote), drabbles post, pimping post... think that's about it. Slowly catching up on flist again. *hugs all*

Though I'm sure most of you don't read RL posts or most of my journal (since I'm rather subject focused on what I post, ^^;;), but thought I'd give a quick run-down on what's going on for anyone who doesn't check out the twitter dailes.

School's been okay, I had to drop one class but really... It was a bad class choice and I knew that from the beginning. Finished all the midterms and I know for sure I aced one (literally *hee*), passed another, and barely passed the other two. XD Excited to get into a NEW speech group, hoping there'll be more effiency and not the fail that was the last group (despite me getting to know one of the guys and liking his humor).

Grandma's been in and out of the hospital due to her lymphadema. Each time it's harder cause her veins aren't very strong and the worst is getting the needle in and it staying there without it collapsing. She's otherwise her busy little self. My brothers, as usual, are a disappointment. The one with a newborn lost his old job and is trying to hit everyone up for money even though we're all broke. >_<

Nothing new on the job front, either my credit score is too bad or people don't like the odd school hours I have (even though I'm willing to work weekends) or something. >_> Maybe I fail at that stupid 100 question psycology test that the big businesses make you take (You can sense other people's moods: strongly agree, agree, neither, disagree, strongly disagree). I applied for federal work study at college cause they're usually desperate for people. But I don't get paid more than $9 and no more than 14 hours a week if I do get anything from them *sigh*.

Oh, applied to SF State. =D They're now just waiting on my official transcripts... I guess I'll wait till this semester is over to send them. At least I'll have three of the gen ed requirements done by it. The rest will be done in Spring. I dunno if I should send them the transcripts from AI, since that's mostly art stuff and supposedly doesn't transfer anywhere. My major for State will be Japanese with maybe a minor in creative writing as they don't offer anything media arts related.

That's prettymuch it other than doing NaNoWriMo this year as you already know.. =D But that'll be for another post. XD Working on getting the LLnM winnings finished, working on getting a commishion page up for art (though if anyone wants to commish me now, I may do a few for VERY cheap so I can have some quality samples done XD).

Due to researching steampunk stuff, I found out that a playhouse will be doing a steampunk version of my favorite Shakespeare play, Twelfth Night! Saw the set pics and it looks gorgeous and I really wanna go. But it's in New York. Despite being broke, I'm considering on how I may get there.... May finally have to help my mom with her Herbalife.

Do I have any New York friends in which I could crash a weekend with? Early November... heh... Even if I don't go, anyone who are able to, here's the post I originally found about it: http://community.livejournal.com/steamfashion/1147505.html#cutid1

That's pretty much it. My life is mainly fandom and surviving school. ^^ Hope all is well with everyone *hugs*

I really need to learn to write blog entries on the spot, instead of telling myself oh I'll make a good lengthy one later. Then I never do, haha. Things have been going all right. Already just a tad bit behind schoolwork but planning to catch up by tomorrow.

Been wanting to share my creative writing exercises to y'all but havent had a chance. That class is a bit scary, having to do exercises on the spot and sometimes having to read aloud. ^^;; So not used to that heh. For the first Submit days, I handed in my two short original fics I've written before. They're the ones listed in my masterlist. I briefly glanced over the comments but really am scared to read and take in. It's the first time I've had my stories looked at by anyone professional. Any previous original stories I've done (aside from when I was 10) were always done for school so I never really had big attachments to them. This is different, they're fics I really tried to excel in. Fanfic is different, I'm not as scared when people actually do critique it cause it's not all mine obviously. I'm just tweaking known characters and situations. Well, we'll see. I may or may not post my exercises up, not sure if anyone would truly be interested.

Hating my Group Speech class... Not so much the subject matter but the group I was assigned to. Including me, we're a group of six, three girls and three boys. The girls are great and talkative. One boy actually speaks up a bit. The other two? SILENCE. Our first assignment as a group was to find out one thing we all had in common, use that to create a group name & a logo. The girls were talkative, the boys shrugged their shoulders. We even tried video games but apparently *gasp* one of them really wasn't into gaming even though the rest of us were. Two days straight and we couldn't get anything on them to agree or share. Worse than pulling teeth, I know as I have plenty experience on that. The closest we could get to was we have all been out of the country, sadly one never used an airport so we couldn't get more specific. The girls and the semi-talkative boy decided to narrow it to smuggling. We've all had smuggled something in (just the usual normal stuff, nothing illegal). Except the two boys were rather quiet. One said that he only left the country when he was a toddler and the other just shrugged and fingered his DS. We finally agreed that they would lie and make something up for the presentation. I volunteered to make the logo. You''ll see it under the cut. =D The bag used is taken from thinkgeek, rest is drawn by me. XD So we finally have a name, Smuggling Travelers! The next month is going to be hell though with the real group assignment. I feel like the girls and maybe the one boy will be doing everything. BLAH.

Math is boring but necessary, have some stupid ass hecklers in the back of the classroom. If they're loud & noisy I one more time I may have to complain to the teacher. Basically just need to make sure I understand all the materials before test times. Best way is to do the assignments and show up for class. History isn't soo boring but as I've tried to take the same class before, the first few weeks are a bit redundent. Lots of writing and reading but I hope to get it all done. No real friendly faces in this class *sigh*.

Astronomy is online and that's the class I'm really behind on cause my textbook decided to take an extra week to get to me than stated. I hope I'll be able to catch up. Love the teacher and she's kinda easy so hoepfully I'll have no problem catching up.

Dad's really pressuring me to get a job. I'd like the money but I'd rather focus on school and my online projects (LJ keeps me sane, y'all keep me sane) so I can get my degree and get a job in the field I want. Dunno, might go to Spirit on Tuesday now that the weather is better and apply. Seriously, past two weeks? Couldn't get ANYTHING done with the house being always near 90 degrees despite a fan. Not fun.

Speaking of the house, it's up for sale. The owner prolly getting too old to care about it, not like she ever did. So now we're succumbed to having to clean up our apartment at a moment's notice for potential buyer walk throughs. >_< Dunno if anyone will buy this PoS. Needs so much repairs it's ridiculous. Only reason it shouldn't be torn down as it survived the 1906 earthquake and all earthquakes since. that's pretty awesome. At any rate since we're not illegals like most of the neighborhood, if we get kicked out we'll be sure to get the monies owed to us to find a new place. Pip really wants me to move to Millbrae. If it meant spending more time with him, I'd like that. It'd be a miracle to find a place in San Francisco with min 3 bedrooms for under 1200... And that's pushing it for us. At any rate, I don't see us moving out before the end of the year.

I think tomorrow shall be Meme-Day so expect some non-sensery from me. =D Will prolly catch up on emails and comments tomorrow. *hugs flist* Oh, n2s for next post... talk about tv shows...

OH! I can't believe I almost forgot! I'm an aunty again! My 2nd oldest brother had his first kid, a whopping 10 lb baby! His name is Mauricio (*groan*) Jonathan. I'll either be calling him MJ or Johnny. =D Seen him once so far, looks like a chubby baby buddha haha. =D

Quick n2s: Post here latest ficlet & Snape/Lily comic

So alas summer vacay is over and I've nearly completed my first day of school. Got to go to my night class in about... 30 min heh. First day is usual introductory stuff... So nothing interesting. I do think I'll be enjoying my creative writing class, so you may see my homework assignments here as they'll all be original fiction. =D I think for the first turn in assignment I'm going to use one of my very few original fictions I've posted to get a proper critique. I don't have any comments on them so I don't know if my flist just isn't interested or I'm bad when it comes to non-fanfic writing. XD

Finally was smart enough to buy some of my textbooks via amazon shops as i'm saving nearly 80% off the used price listed at the college store. I don't mind waiting a few days for a $15 book instead of plopping down $80 to get it tomorrow. Slowly working on the livelongnmarry so if you're one of the winners, don't fret. But feel free to email/im/comment here if you're worried or curious how far along I am.

Family wise, mom and grandma have both been in the hospital this past weekend... If you keep up on the twitter statuses, mom had a type of food poisoning and is doing well. Grandma has lymphadema and got her arm infected again somehow so is currently in the hospital. Hopefully she'll be better by tomorrow to come out. Finally made my appointment to the school clinic, will be going tomorrow and then will be needing to set up a full woman's exam which won't be fun. XD I think that's all for tonight, so I shall leave you with my fun and erratic school schedule! =3

"A writer is someone for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people."

--Thomas Mann

So much to do so little time. Been wanting to blog for a while but always kept putting it off heh. I don't remember much of what I wanted to blog about so sorry for this being just a tad bit rambly. Been sick & anemic the past few weeks but luckily some combo of pills from my mom's Herbalife products seemed to have done the trick. I should hopefully be okay. Still need to make a clinic appointment to find out why it's happening but if my previous health history has anything to say, it's just the same thing but in a flare up I guess.

Some days I'm surprised how quickly the time passes, and I wonder why I'm not getting anything done. Of course sleeping half the day away doesn't help and I do have to work on that before school starts. This upcoming semester will be a doozy but hopefully I'll be able to survive it. The only two classes I'm looking forward to is my online Astronomy class and my Creative Writing class. I'm hoping that will jumpstart me into writing longer original fiction and finally get a book underway. I've already read 3/4 of the textbook.

The above quote comes from that textbook. It struck me hard and seemed to answer my everlong questions of why I've had such terrible motivation to write, yet can see people with no talent write effortlessly. So hopefully I shouldn't be too pressured about writing and just be able to do it. We'll see. =D

I get the bunnies everyday so I'm not without. As always I have a couple of secret projects that I'm working on, one should be complete soon so I can't wait to show y'all it. ^_^ I'm also hoping to reignite a few old projects, mainly two comms that I co-modded and co-founded. That won't be for a few weeks to come. And of course working on my livelongnmarry auctions, still gotta talk to the people that i won from but yeah... been blanking to do that.

Right now trying to figure out how to best display a six-page fan-comic I drew. I did it originally for the LESS exchange but I had only finished like a week or two /after/ the masterlist came up. So yeah, I failed at getting it done in time. I think I've failed too many exchanges so I don't think I'll be joining a non-snupin one for probably a year or two as punishment... Why I still the snupin ones? I am waaay more likely to finish them as I hang out in the chatroom daily and the people there are really my lifeline so I can't fail them. Back to the comic... I'm thinking maybe upload to deviantart and linking that way... Or make a pdf or zip. I just want to offer easy navigation... Hmm will ponder it for a bit longer.

Thinking of joining a friend's forum RPG which has a neat premise of two worlds (human and magical) crashing into becoming one. I just haven't rp'd in so long and this type even longer. I'm thinking for maybe one of the characters to be a Snape type character and be great to find someone to play a Lupin/Werewolf type character but as they'd have to be OCs essentialy, probably be tougher to play out. If not, I can go to my default Aiyana chara whom I haven't used since high school, hehe.

Hmm... that's about it I think. Will end with two funny quizes under the cut. I'm surprised I got who I got for the first one but Snape & Lupin were not too far behind. I may have gotten Lupin if I had said I liked transforming men lol.

Finally done with summer session, yay! I aced my Poly-Sci Final but because I bombed the midterm I'll only be getting by with a C. And only cause the teacher knows I understood my material, as my real grade should have been a D. So thank god for that! I'm also sure I aced my other class's final but I was bad with the assignments so we'll see. Least I'll get a few weeks of sleeping in before the new semester starts.

Health wise, feels like it was a few years ago with my supposed PCOS acting up again and I'm losing too much blood. I had a package of BC still leftoever from when I was insured under my mom but that's slowly coming to an end. Going to the school clinic to see if i can get some from there so that way I can start regulating this again... My mom's afraid it's something worse with me but I'm afraid to go to a new doctor, especially general hospital... when i was so used to Kaiser (despite all the horror stories from them).

So it finally seems like the landlady wants to spruce up the house and sell it off. an inspector's coming in tomorrow to see what needs to be taken care off. personally, this decrepid house needs to just be bulldozed and start over again. my mom's thinking of trying to get a real house in Millbrae/Burlingame area for about $1800. It's almost double our current rate (but it's a full house with three bedrooms) but she thinks with it we can get rid of our storage which would help out. My dad's trying to get it so we don't have to move. I don't mind moving, obviously we can't afford the city, but if we move i *need* to have my own room. and if we stay, least shit will be fixed. well, in theory.

Still not liking how serious my mom's into with all this Jehovah Witness crap, but after a talk with Pip, I understand why it happened. It just happened to be there when we lost my niece, her granddaughter, to the government. I only wished it was a Catholic person that had helped her out instead. I mean, I'm tolerant to all religious and non religious beliefs. I'm a lazy Catholic with spiritual tendencies. It's just... *shrug*

Allrighty, time to do a quick few memes and then help my mom in writing up her first resume so that maybe she can get the managorial position at the deli at molliestone's. =D Wish us luck!

So like half of my flist is in this and I finally got a chance to write up my offers. livelongmarry is a fandom wide charity auction on livejournal that is currently going on. All the money goes to your preferred organization or coalition fighting for marriage equality. The tags are all filled up so you won't be able to search for me by name.

I have a total of four offerings in two posts.

The first post here, I'm offering series of fan haiku of at least 1,000 words (most any fandom, most any pairing), and a fanfic of at least 1,500 words. Starting bids are $10 and $15, respectively.

The second post here, I'm offering fanart or original art and either a website design, headers or icons.

I don't think I'll be able to bid on anything as I don't have an income, but hopefully you'll find something to bid on out of the many AWESOME offers at the comm. If not, please spread the word around. ^_^ Auctions go on till the 15th.

No need to rub your eyes, yesh, this is a real post and not a Twitter summary~! ^_^ I've been wanting to write a proper post for a really long time but things kept getting in the way. Mostly projects. I feel bad to be posting when I have overdue projects to finish, so I tend to not post or respond to comments till I get at least one project done. I actually wanted to post this weekend before my birthday but alas the laptop doesn't like accepting wireless internet when I'm traveling. >_> Anyhoo first few things:

Happy Belated Birthday to anyone I've missed! If you'd like a drabble/drawble (I know I still owe people, they're actually finished, just haven't had a chance to post) let me know. ^_^
Congrats to anyone who graduated or finished their major! I dunno how y'all do it but wow. Good for you. =3
Also want to give a general apology to certain people. I'm sorry for being such a flake, I know I need to be better at keeping you up to date and staying on schedule. =/
I've been slowly catching up on everyone's journals but I prolly won't be commenting on them unless they were from the past few weeks. Hope everyone's well!

So much to say, yet not much really at all lol. My birthday was monday and I'm now a quarter century old. Thanks to everyone who's wished me happy birthday so far, it really made my day. ^___^ XD Sadly all my goals I had to before turning 25 have not been fulfilled. Hopefully I'll get them done soon. As a semi-last minute gift from my mom, we went down to Disneyland. I had a lot of fun despite my feet deciding to act totally against me lol. I should have pictures up soon. The digi-cam broke early on the 2nd day so I gotta wait till the instant cameras get processed. =/ I got lots of nice goodies tho most are either Princess Belle related or Pirate Princess related, hehe.

Currently in summer classes which are going okay. As long as I can pass I'll be very happy. After the fall semester, I'll only have the english classes to take before I can transfer to State. I'm debating on trying for a 1-4 year study in Japan. Honestly would rather do a semester but I don't think I can find anything like that. I just want to get my first degree so I can get a higher paying job that's more permanent and pertinent to what I want to do in life.

Fandom wise I've been passive in all my fandoms. And at the same time, wanting to join new fandoms. XD I'm hoping to have some finished pieces to show off rather soon. =3 And... I think I'll leave this post at that. I may in the next few hours or so post some meme posts so sorry in advance for spamming your flist. *hugs to all*

*waves* Ugh, this first month of the year has been busy. There's so much I've wanted to talk about, yet never got the chance to. XD I'm alive and well, and been in school for a week now. I hope I can survive the semester. XD Checking about 10 days worth of flist postings but I may not comment on everyone. Just rest assured that at least by this week I'll have caught up in your lives. ^_^ This post is gonna have everything so i can clear up my to-do list.
