The problem with not properly updating in over a year is that I'm left with a lot to say and no idea of how to say it, nevermind the order I ought to say it in.

The most important thing relative to my online presence is that my laptop is nearly dead. The screen doesn't work, so I have it hooked up to an external monitor, but that won't save it from age. Youtube doesn't work. Tumblr doesn't work. Plurk half-works, but it's so much trouble that I don't bother with it anymore.

The places that do work are the places that are mostly text-based. Such as Dreamwidth.

That may be the only reason I'm updating.

In more recent news, the cold storms caused my windows to leak earlier in the week. It was fixed, eventually, but there are now holes in my walls thanks to the water damage. Sigh.

I'm also more active on Twitter, of all things. Username is laronmi, as always.

Ah, yes, LJ spambots. Thanks for reminding me that LJ exists. No thanks to the e-mail alerts that's flooded my inbox, or the reminders of how self-motivated I used to be.

...Man, I haven't used LJ in so long that I forgot what did what. And, haha, comments still won't load properly for me. Some days I really miss the old LJ culture. Tumblr's too chaotic and you can't build proper communities on Plurk since it goes everywhere. =(

I've been sucked into the Plurk = Not updating DW trap, except I haven't been even checking my list, so, uh. Oops. I'm sorry for being such a terrible friend, guys.

I'm trying to pull together what happened to me since I last updated in late March, but my memory is a fail thing of fail, so my typical disjointedness applies here.

Finally, have some Actual Vigilante Yuri Petrov.

If you're confused, take a look at this first.

Spring break has started for those who are going to classes (Not me, in other words), which meant that Tea House was canceled tonight. To make up for it, we invited linkhs over to the apartment. We also planned to cook dinner with each person chipping in some ingredients, so that by the time tea_destroyer came back, she'd have a nice homemade meal waiting for her.

We ended up making vegetarian lasagna since linkhs couldn't have meat on Fridays for Lent. It was my first time making lasagna ever, and it turned out amazing! I did burn myself a few times, but they were just minor things. Me pouring boiling water on my finger instead of in the teapot was not so minor, but the finger's stopped twitching and mostly stopped hurting now.

Monday and I talked about plans for what to do for the evening, but we ended up loafing around, watching Let's Plays, and eating Girl Scout cookies. It was my first time trying them, and I wanted to support them for standing up and supporting trans youth. I may be a little hooked on Samoas now. Coconut!

I think that pretty much blew the last of the bad mood I was in away. Good food is nice, but good friends are even better. Before we left to buy ingredients, I had a moment where I realized that I had plans on a Friday night. Plans that involved doing something fun with people I cared about and whom cared about me. It was a moment of "WOAH" at the realization that I've got really amazing friends who don't put up with me because they have to or forced to, but they spend time with me because they actually like me. It was a bit mind blowing, and I had to give them hugs.

I'm happy. It feels nice to be happy again.

OH GOD vyctori, TELL DHAOS'S PLAYER I'M SORRY FOR BEING A DICK AND THROWING CRESS AT HIM.

I should have seriously considered whether or not I was capable of playing him before jumping in like the impulsive loser I am. I AM SORRY I AM FAILING WITH HIM. sob


also I know nothing about Luceti and am terrified of stepping on anyone's toes. LET ME KNOW IF I DO SOMETHING I SHOULDN'T BECAUSE OH GOD WHAT AM I DOING. I apologize for being a creepy jerk.

I've been fighting a losing battle with trying to straighten out my sleep schedule so that I was awake before the sun set. It ended up doing something weird to me, and now I sleep and not sleep in roughly two to five hour phases. It's rather frustrating.

Getting dehydrated and collapsing didn't help matters much.

I've been avoiding people online because... I'm not sure. I wasn't in a great mood, thanks to the weird sleep thing. Slowly getting out of that mood feels kind of weird, but I want to be able to talk to people on Plurk and RP again without feeling like I want to throw myself out the window while doing it. Socializing in person is still the same. It's strange to think that I'm more comfortable talking to people in person rather than online, since it was the exact opposite in high school. Five-ish years changes things!

I had something more to say, but I got distracted and forgot.

5. While on this joy high, recorded a terrible song about Scarf Girl from Tiger & Bunny


6. Embarrassed myself greatly on Plurk and CFUD's T&B chan


7. Did not give a shit


8. Prompted a prompt about Barnaby bathing in buttons. Had it filled and was gleeful.


9. Crashed.


10. REGRET EVERYTHING

Guys, I think ❤ Valentine's Day ❤ might be my favorite holiday. Not because I have a special someone with whom I can be disgustingly saccharine with, but rather because it's my favorite time of the year to do terrible things.

I am, once again, in need of everyone's bad love poetry. Or not-poetry. I'm not particularly picky! I did this in 2009 as well, and it was a smashing success.

Basically, on the Friday before Valentine's Day, I will be at the Oakland Teahouse, passing out candy and valentines to complete strangers. The valentines will have poems on them. The poems will hopefully cause feelings of 'oh god what' in their recipients. Full details and examples can be found in the post I linked to from 2009.

GIVE ME YOUR DELICIOUS BAD POETRY. I must increase my trolling levels this year!


As an aside, and while I'm on the topic of ~romance~, a few weeks back, the roommates and I decided that I would be the worst person to date long term, because I would propose on April Fool's day and provide no clear indication of whether or not it was a joke. Or, I would tell the person of my affections that I actually hated their guts and dated them only to manipulate them into a vortex of self-loathing and unhealthy codependency, with no indication of whether or not it was a joke.

I'm pretty sure this is why I have never dated in my life.
