This journal is friends only. If you're here for my fics, you can find them at airgetlamh, my writing journal. If you'd like me to friend you, comment at this entry and I'll more than likely add you. :D

One of my coworkers has been sick all week, so I've had to cover for her. I wasn't thrilled about being called in yesterday (especially since I got nailed with some ill-timed cramps), but at least I'm getting some extra hours.

The best part, though, was stumbling across Johanna Lindsey's craptacular romance novels while I was shelving. I remembered the titles and looked them up when I got home to see if I could abuse them for Hetaquin.

I was not disappointed. None of them are nearly as bad as the Prussia/Switzerland one I doctored in which Gilbert is actually a genetically engineered coyote (NOT a werewolf, insists the author) who ends up betraying Vash and killing his father. Then Vash is naturally overcome with mating lust, because who wouldn't have the hots for their father's murderer? It ends with them getting married and Vash getting knocked up with Gilbert's coyote child. I swear to God.

Here's the Johanna Lindsey titles I looked up, and the Gilbert/Vash coyote one at the end because it was hysterical.

( Hetaquin should not amuse me as much as it doesCollapse )

I've gotten so many stamps from digi_rating that they're beginning to overtake my ratings page. So here they are with their very own entry. :D

( Teh stampsCollapse )

fuma_x_seishiro alerted me to the fact that my entries weren't showing up on her flist. I think it might have something to do with my recently flocking my journal. Hopefully since this entry is public, it'll show up for all of you. Have the rest of you had trouble seeing my entries as well? I'll probably be stalking all of your journals individually in case this one doesn't show up either.

LJ is made of fuckery lately. I've been getting email notification of comment replies way after they've been posted. >____>

2. List (and upload, if you feel like it) 5 songs that start with that letter.

Got the letter "M" from nyazers.

Didn't upload them since I'm on my parents' computer. :(

My best friend's wedding was yesterday. The good parts of it were my dress actually fitting me (thank god), the best man not being a disgusting creep for once, and that I managed to not lose the groom's ring or trip while walking down the aisle. The main con was that it rained all day, thereby moving the outdoor reception into a very small building. The bridesmaids' dresses were halter style, and since mine was such a tight fit the strap was constantly rubbing at my neck. Add to that the extremely tight strap from the shaper I had on underneath, and the back of my neck was rubbed nearly raw by the end of the night. >____>

My parents are spending the night at our cabin, giving me a rare day by myself. The most productive thing I've done is beat Rogue Galaxy. The ending, while thankfully not depressing, was disappointing. I hate it when we don't see the secondary party members/characters except for a brief glimpse. But at least that was more than we got in WA5. I demand justice for the severe lack of Chuck Preston in that ending, goddamnit. (While I'm on the topic of games, I desperately want a PSP so I can play WA:XF. I must has it.

I'm staying at my parents' house for at least another week since I was roped into working at the bank I sometimes fill in at. It's good that I finally have another part-time job (take that, Mother :P), I'm not at all happy about having to stay here even longer. But since I need the money badly enough to not have a choice, I'm basically stuck here. On the plus side, that means I get to watch my cat be cute and roll around in the dirt.

EDIT: Just found Blackie in a vicious cat battle with another feline. I screamed obscenities at the intruding little fucker until they broke apart and Blackie ran inside the house. Fortunately, she isn't injured other than losing a little bit of hair. I was hoping to find the other cat so I could chase it with a stick, but no luck.

And why hasn't First Contact been released in English yet? Or at least with English subtitles? I cannot die happy until I see Goemon slicing lightning with his sword and not getting electrocuted with my own eyes.

Reason #94 why I miss being unemployed: days like today suck. We were busy as hell, of course with the customers who spend forever in the store and then fill up an entire bag with their crap. Have you ever seen those big blue cloth shopping bags that Bath & Body Works has? Yep, those. They're bigger than they look. >____>

It seemed like every other person felt the need to bitch at me for some reason or another: when I accidentally gave them the wrong change ("That's not right!") and then apologized ("That's not right!"), when I started to bag their purchases as I rung them up ("You're bagging them; now I can't see what I already have!"), or when I told them the fucking body spray that they had to have wasn't on sale ("Well, then take it off! I don't want it!"). And then there others who at least didn't bitch at me, but whom I still felt the urge to throttle: the woman who decided as I was giving her change that she suddenly wanted to buy something else ("Oh, I changed my mind; I want two of these!"), or the woman who had a coupon for a purchase of $30 or more, but didn't know how much her stuff added up to. I can't add worth shit, so I had to scan things in until she had enough. Sounds simple, but she had all sale items, which show up at the regular price until we total everything. So every few items I'd hit TOTAL, see that she didn't have enough, and then have to hit CLEAR repeatedly until I was back at the sales screen. On the register that was insanely slow and having technological issues all day. alsjdflksdjfldjfdskjsdlja

Fortunately, this video makes me feel better. The He-Man segment is the best - you'll see why.



EDIT: I'm in the mood to write. The only thing I've got at the moment is my still untitled Dean/Chuck fic. I thought about changing the pairing to Dean/Chuck/Avril since it's my new OT3, but in the end decided I like it better with just the guys. And I don't have to deal with the complications of a three way relationship. This is why I've only written it in drabble form. It's so much easier to write "and then Avril decided it would be a good idea if they all resolved their tension with a round or two of hot sex, and Dean and Chuck agreed." And then Greg married Rebecca and brought Carol into their relationship once she was old enough. Except they had to share Carol with Elvis because he loves her and kept screaming "CAARRROOOLLLLL!!!!!"

Comment on this post and I will choose seven interests from your profile. You will then explain what they mean and why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so that others can play along.

1. Dean Man on Campus. One of the slashiest movies ever. The main characters, Josh and Cooper, are caught in a tangled heap by their friends. (It actually was because Cooper fell on Josh, but nobody else realizes it.) Their friends assume they were making out, and think that they're a gay couple for the entire movie. They so are. I first saw it my freshman year of college, and I can proudly claim it as one of the factors that drove me to become the slash addicted pervert that I am today.

2. Dino Squad. OMG, this show is priceless. It's lame as hell with its terrible one-liners and safety messages for kids, but it features the most metrosexual character since Lee Chaolan. And Episode 7 has internet predator!Veloci luring Buzz into an abandoned house so he can capture him. Guess who had a sick mind while watching the entire episode? That's right; I did. :D It's on CBS on Saturday mornings for anyone who wants to check it out lol over it.

3. Hawaii Five-O. A crime drama that ran from 1968-1980. The last season is utter shit, by the way. Never watch it. The two main characters, Steve and Danny, have got to have something going on between them. ♥

4. Jin Uzuki's thighs. My favorite character from the Xenosaga series. I'd totally tap it. He's a deligent swordsman, so you'd assume he'd be in good shape. And have strong thighs. An unlockable costume for him is swimming trunks and a short sleeved buttondown shirt. RAWR.

5. KotOR. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, one of the best Xbox RPGs ever made. It's the first RPG I ever played, and I immediately fell in love with it. I can almost play it in my sleep by now. It gets bonus points for featuring one of my OTPs. Carth/Female!Revan is love.

6. Norway. Whip out a globe and check out Northern Europe. There it be. :D I'm half Norwegian, and being a history buff I'm always up for learning about the country of my ancestors. For they were bloodthirsty, pillaging Vikings. (My other ancestors were leprechauns, Nazis, bagpipe playing and kilt wearing Scotsmen, tea serving Englishmen, and whatever stereotype fits people from Denmark.)

7. The Colbert Report. A fake news show on Comedy Central. Along with Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert is GOD. Fuck the real news; give me Colbert!

Yesterday my brother bought Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, and we spent the entire day playing through it. (Well, he played and I watched.) Playing through in one sitting = 16 hours. We had a case of Mountain Dew to keep us going until 4:00 AM, when he finally finished it. Totally worth it. I was exhausted and my legs were stiff from sitting for hours at a time, but the game was so awesome I didn't care.

Since this is the end of a legendary series, it's only right that I express my reaction to it through netspeak and excessive fangirling.

HOLY SHIT MGS4 IS EPIC. HOLY JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE. ALSMDVIEJRKEJFKLDJFDKLSFJSDKLFJASDLK;F *flails*

SNAKE AND OTACON ARE SO MARRIED. THIS GAME JUST CONFIRMS IT. ♥

OMG AWESOME RAIDEN IS AWESOME. TRUFAX. I MUST MARRY HIM NOW. (It always irritates me when people bitch about him in MGS2. I was one of the only people who actually liked him.)

JOHNNY SASAKI. DEAR JESUS I LOVE HIM. HE IS FUCKING AMAZING, BITCHES. XDDDDDDDDDDD
Who would have thought that Johnny of all people would be involved in a serious storyline and have it totally work? It was glorious. ^_____^

HOLY MOTHER OF CHRIST THE PATRIOTS. WTF. WTF. O____O

OCELOT. OCELOT. HOLY MOTHERFUCKING CHRIST OCELOT. SFKSDJFSDKFJSDIMASVIJDFKDJFDKS *headdesk*

MY MIND HAS BEEN BLOWN IN SO MANY WAYS. I HAD NO EXPECTATIONS PLOT-WISE BUT WAS STILL SHOCKED BEYOND BELIEF. EVERYTHING IS EXPLAINED AND IT WAS AMAZING OMFG. *dies*

I am never going to look at MGS3 the same way ever again. Holy. Fucking. Crap.

Someone on my flist needs to obtain the game so I can have someone to flail over it with. (My brother just left on a three week choir tour of Minnesota, so he's out. I am sad.) Or if you're like me and you're too lazy to play through it, I will gleefully spoil major plot points for you.
