tempestuously: ([frontier] accidentally in love)
I am in so much pain. I went to a theme park yesterday and threw out my neck or something, which meant all of the rides afterward were excruciating, no matter how good they were. I think the ride that terrified me the most was the one that hurt the least. I'm happy that I brought sunscreen though because everyone else got burnt. But the worst part. The absolute worst part, aside from the fact I can barely move my neck, is that the whole friggin' thing was a date for my sister and her new boyfriend. This was supposed to be a family trip. Not only did the ass not pay my father -- and I say ass loosely because he was a fairly intelligent and decent guy if you get past the smoking and the driving me insane -- but he spent the entire time macking on my sister. Yes, they were kissing or hardcore kissing every ten minutes. This sucked especially when we were waiting in hour-long lines for rides. That is not a family vacation, people. They also insisted on 5 to 10 minute smoke breaks every hour or so, which meant we had to track down designated smoking spots or spent 5 to 10 minutes searching for them if we were elsewhere. The dynamic screwed up almost every ride because we had an uneven number. I was not happy.

And now to do something that will probably make me less happy yet...
tempestuously: ([not!kamui]  take me away)
Work wants me to work Friday night. Well, it's more of an option. But the thing is family wants to do the King's Dominion thing Saturday. So late night Friday night (and we are talking 8-9 because of the drive) + driving an hour back to my Dad's house does not equal a happy Nayami. We'll see. It is nice to have an option rather than a GO OR DIE.

I realized today that I forgot to buy the Geass DVD set and just purchased it from Amazon, even though I know it will never ever find its way to my house, and I have no idea where a post office is. It just makes me happy to know I will one day have it. I need to stop blowing my money on this stuff.

Also, I recommend the American Indian History museum to anyone in the Maryland area. It's awesome, and I can't wait to go back.

Oh yeah, Turn 16 was good and all. Brain does not seem to want to allow discussion alas. Other than Lelouch needs to get punched in the face. I have this weird mix of excitement and dread going into the final stretch. It's strange but it could be all right.
tempestuously: ([not!kamui] nobody ever suspects...)
I think today can be summed up by: Fuck I forgot my checkbook.

Other than that, I did have a good time actually spending my Father's Day with my Dad. I took him out to eat, bought him ridiculously expensive golf clubs and humored his wish to get drunk and hang out with my crazy aunt. Crabs were involved in the latter.

... I need to make a coherent schedule. I will feel better about my life once I do that, I think.

Things to watch this week:

- LOST
- Macross
- Gundam 00

If I even make one of those goals, I will be content. Drat, did I forget to upload my new Lelouch blinking icon.

Oh wait I forgot to comment on Turn 10. orz. Well, there you have it.
tempestuously: ([vk] the art of topping)
Hahah. My relatives are so trying to kick me out before they go on vacation June 27th. I am le screwed if I can't finalize this condo thing STAT.

Also, Kade honey, I FINALLY sent your present. I'm sorry it took me so long. Postal hours and mine don't exactly coexist. It should still be shiny!
tempestuously: ([lamento] bad things all around)
I've had better nights. But I do get to be alone all night this time. House to myself! I can Net without guilt.

In random news, I take things to seriously and make myself sick. It irks me.

I need to make icons from Turn 8 already.

ETA: "But I do here all be alone all night this time"? I sound like a crack addict.
tempestuously: ([geass] he's your son)
Wow, I came home last night and felt like such a failboat. It's the combination of me wanting my computer time and my new family wanting to do things. I hate saying no, but then I hate losing time for other things. So I end up stuck between the two, doing nothing. Which results in failboat. I want to analyze and essay, but I'm just so damn tired lately. Adjusting to new job is harder than I thought. I might go back to do the 10 to 6 thing instead of 9 to 5. And I signed up for an early morning weekend assignment.

On the other hand, I do feel better about at least resolving one issue. So that takes that awkwardness off my mind. Though I do worry that, in general, I have not been around for people lately. And I don't mean it to be that way. Please feel free to email/gchat/call me whenever.

I hope things go better once I get this nagging urge in the back of my head dealt with.

And Realms, I loved that log you showed me. It blew my mind, how much you had at play there.

Oh and because I'm an ass and forget these things, thanks to everyone who commented about my little fender-bender yesterday.
tempestuously: ([vk] it's a sin with no name)
So I vegged all yesterday. It's been a weird week. I have to wash clothes and get ready for my "big move" today, as well as snagging me a wireless card and getting my father his money before he cries like a girl. My brother got plastered Friday night so I spent most of yesterday holed up in my room, refusing to talk to anyone. I really dislike him right now.

But in good news, Acen was wonderful. I got to chat with the ultra cute VA for Alphonse Elric and attempt to save him from the raving fangirls. I got more Geass merchandise than ever (Suzaku voice doll, R2 keychain figures, more fortune charms, doujin, Knight and Queen 3, Illustration Rebels, Nightmare of Nunnally 3, Rebellion 5, megane posters of Suzaku and Lelouch and a sexy fanart). I also stocked up on my new Vampire Knight canon since I can has Zero at CFUD. Yes, it makes me giggle. Plus, I can use my VK icons on my journal now! I got a bunch of other manga and whatnot but can't remember it all.

Rachel and I also had a blast touring Shedd's Aquarium and fandorking over Ironman. Too bad we got back too late to hit up the food court at the Japanese mall. Oh well, I still got sushi.

As for my absence lately, I've been trying to do too many things at once. As usual. We'll see if the move helps on that stress front.

And now to shop whilst I wait for Geass to break my brain again.
tempestuously: ([tutu] dance with me)
I spent the entire day limping around, wondering what the hell was wrong with my leg. So I finally check it out in the bathroom and notice this massive black and blue bruise. Then I remembered when my brother chucked his cell phone at me last night when I told him his friends had to leave at 10. Whereupon, my sister then told him his friends could stay while she finished her all important phone call. I don't think he even comprehends how much he seriously hurt me. I know I'll be leaving this house this weekend, but it still disgusts me how bad things have gotten.

Oh, I also fail at life since I couldn't even find my damn assignment tonight. Which was a good hour away from my work, I might add. It might have had something to do with my inability to focus 10 seconds while driving because of my killer migraine all day. Fail day is fail.
tempestuously: ([geass] space between)
... Well, tonight could mostly be summed up as EPIC FAIL on the socializing part. Silly Nayami thinking she could still pull off her usual 30-minute naps.

In other news, my house has gained the honor of being known as a place of ill repute. Our neighbor refuses to let her children come over here anymore. Maybe now Father-dear will take some actual action.
tempestuously: ([avatar] bitch please)
Man, I have a 2-hour commute and all I ask is that my sister, who is BORROWING OUR HOME, move her car out of my spot by the time I get home. And she can't even do that. As I type this, she is still on the phone. So I am parked in someone else's spot. The next time this happens, I'm parking my car behind hers.

I did find some backety back roads to travel on today so I'm not as exhausted as when I deal with interstate traffic. The drawback is there is no way I can drive on this in the winter because I will die. I need to make so many phone calls or emails.

ETA: ... Why do I think one of the magazines just attempted a cleavage shot of Nunnally? Now does this hurt my brain more than the perky Suzaku is the question... Wait! Make that perky Suzaku DRINKING TEA. Geass, why do you hate my brain this much?
tempestuously: ([geass] am I my brother's keeper?)
I think I have pinpointed the source of my trouble staying up lately. It is the combination of forcing myself to stay up past 2 and then, no matter what, waking up before 10. I blame the fighting in my house. My brother wants to go start something today. He's such the stereotypical jock now.

But I did get a call-back about the interview I did the other week and am looking to set up a follow-up so there's hope on the horizon. And Tom said there will even be Dr. Who this Sunday! I still need to catch up on Torchwood. I should ask him to hang on Monday; he said he might.

I was shocked and appalled when I couldn't find any Rollo icons in the media community so I resorted to making my own. I actually like it. I think I'm getting slightly better at bringing out colors and expressions, even if I still have to do 5 layers or more.

I have no idea what went down on my great Geass fandom hunt, but it was EPIC. There was Ginozaku, angsty Turn 2 art, more Rollo than you could shake a stick at and so much delicious Suzaku. I probably added half a gig in art yesterday alone. I have a tiny obsession.

ETA: ... I really don't get the CG memes. Except for the ones with music; the ones with music are funny.
tempestuously: ([geass] so let mercy come and wash away)
I need somewhere else to live. Seriously. Yet again my brother is giving some BS excuse for not going to school and trying to run away. I don't think there's any recourse for that. I just don't want to be part of it anymore because there is nothing I can do. I need to make some calls and see if I can't stay with other people before I go start raving mad. I am so unconscious while typing this because I got about four hours of sleep and have to work 12 hours today.

And people wonder why I am incapable of dealing with their problems...

ETA: Tried to recup sleep and therefore going to work later than I wanted. But at least I now have canon art of Lelouch wearing a stupid crown. Yay.
tempestuously: ([as] no remorse cause i still remember)
Again woke up this morning at 6 after going to bed at 4 because apparently the dumbasses realized my brother needed to print something out, and his printer wasn't working. WHY they couldn't have brought this up anytime last night is obvious. I couldn't fix the printer because I don't know if it needs drivers, and of course my brother has Vista. But my brother was so bound and determined to not go to school, saying he couldn't print his project from any other computer because it used the incompatible Works 2000. I fixed that by copying and pasting into text. Then he says he has a headache and his eye hurts and his throat hurts and screams "fuck" at us for a while and locks himself in the bathroom. Note, you do not lock yourself in the bathroom when someone else in the house has cramps. So that didn't last. I told my father I am tired of my brother never taking responsibility for is actions and not to come to me AGAIN if my brother misses the bus, forgets his computer, cannot access something. Unless it is some time other than early in the morning. I can be reasonable. But I am not being woke up for this shit again. Especially when my reward is being threatened and cursed at for a solid half hour. I am also buying earplugs when I go to my eye appointment. I have had my fill.

Oh yeah, he also loves turning off my heat when I'm sleeping and not turning it back on when he goes to school. Selfish prick.

I didn't even notice LJ's new flagging thing until the other day. I figure it's just another layer of prickdom.

I am also trying to avoid the subject of other's bad moods because I can no longer help them in my frazzled state and bad karma is bad.

I missed both PR and my sliver of a chance of watching Pushing Daisies the other day because my TV is busted, and I have to drive 30 minutes away to fix it, and I'm too lazy to do so.

Also, YouTube give me my Enchanted music back!
tempestuously: ([geass] g@y laughter ensues)
While I wanted to wake up before 10 am, being jolted out of bed to drive my brother's laptop to his school and back was not quite what I had in mind. Well, that's one way to do it. I'm debating on doing anything today aside from playing my video game. And maybe calling up work to see if they'll be nice enough to switch my days this weekend.

In the meantime, I need to make an icon using the new Chibi Geass comic because the scarf~ but I'm too lazy to renew the icon space here so I can add it.

Also, it hurts me that Lelou is now the official spelling. I'm not using it. I don't care if I'm a contrarian. It's as bad as when they shortened child Anakin's name to Annie. Except um in reverse. It's too early for the thought things.
tempestuously: ([geass] the sacrifice was much too high)
I return as usual to find my family completely fucked my computer system and went through my doujinshi. I hope they enjoyed that.

Caught up on Heroes. Still hate Claire. Will hate her even more if she gets her father killed, who's the only reason I even tolerate her arcs. I don't really like the twins either, though now I get that one CFUD joke. Don't like flying boy either. I do love the adorable domesticism of the M-House with Mommy Matt, Daddy Mohinder and daughter Molly. Even though Matt is the WORST PARENT EVER. Not digging the Katrina thing they have going on with the New Orleans Heroes. Oh and I love Hiro's side arc because it's just cute.

We also watched Kyou Kara Maou, which could be problematic considering the current issues Geneon is having. Dammit I just wanted to see the volume where they go back to Earth. But I was content to have Yuuri being a total sap over Wolfram getting kidnapped, and Wolfram pretending he wasn't eating it up. I also bitched about Julia because that's what I do. I think I have an inherent dislike of any anime/manga characters named Julia. They are always plot devices and never have personalities. Yet everyone ends up falling for them. Boo.

Weekend ended with one-hour traffic delay on the Interstate!
tempestuously: ([geass] happy halloween)
... My brother went to McDonad's and asked for a Happy Meal. They actually asked him whether it was for a boy or a girl.

He said girl and is now showing off his MyScene bracelets....

"I was like orgasming in the chair. I named her Peaches."

Dubya Tee Eff!!!
tempestuously: ([es21] eye of the tiger... SHARK)
There is only one half of Terra e available, and I actually don't want to spoil myself this time. I will write more about the awesome fanservice that is the new OP as soon as I wake up. Keith, why are you a bastard dick-child?

I was on the Net entirely too much today. I kind of hate myself for this and blame my sucky long-distant friends for have busy lives and thereby being unable to let me chill for a while.

All I learned out of this is:

-My brother's name is exemplified by the question: Where is the C?
-My cat took out the porn.
-My father said Lelouch looks gay.

Oh and there will also be Geass spoiler squeeage in the morning as well because GEASS SPOILERS OMG!
tempestuously: ([geass] you go your way and I go mine)
As Fu-kuyama says, the moment C.C. came back to life after getting shot in the head was the moment he stopped thinking of her as a woman >__> Some sort of pizza free-loader alien who also happens to be his partner-in-crime, maybe.

HAH GameFAQs hah. I love you guys so much.

Gots a tummy ache from last night, but after some half-asleep thought am now wondering if I'm not just being a clingy spaz. Considering the catalyst behind all this, I probably am. Ugh I got to pick up the brat after all. I wonder if I'm trying to talk myself out of my slump just so I don't have to address the situation myself. I so hate effort. Perhaps that's the real problem here.

Also, the new Asuka images featuring Suzaku with his shirt all but coming off being fed tea from Lelouch's cup are just... DON'T DO THESE THINGS TO MY BRAIN IN THE MORNING! Lelouch's face makes the entire thing appear ten times more creepy than it needs to. Stop being a creepy seme, Lulu. I mean it.

ETA: Dangit, now I don't want to go to work. Oh Geass you are like my Prozac. What shall I ever do when you end?
tempestuously: ([not!kamui] all fun and games before)
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, I finally fixed that damn computer. Now maybe my family will allow me to have a life outside my brother's basement for a while.

As I'm so fond of telling Bro, now I'm going to go upstairs and watch gay porn.
tempestuously: ([not!kamui] so not calvin klein)
Yes, I made an icon using the crack drama. I was making icons for CFUD crack sake, and realized after I cropped this image, that I really liked it. I have no explanation. I wish I did. I think it's just because Lulu thinks he's a swimsuit model, and that's beyond hilarious.

This drama seems almost as naughty as the shower one when it comes to the dialogue. I can't believe Guilford was commenting on Dalton's umm stiffness... And Euphie has some tastes that might even put Lulu's to shame. How Geass should have ended: They form their own chain of the most brain-breaking clothes known to man. These clothes blind Britannians on the battlefield, and they flee in terror. Victory. But oh Geass, how you love your siscon. It makes it better that Lelouch was too busy growling at Cornelia to pay attention to what Milly and others were talking about.

I've been so tired lately, mostly because family's forcing me into slave labor to fix Bro's computer. I ditched them for good this time, telling them I knew just about as much about the problem as they did so they could call Tech Support themselves. Let's hope it works, and they don't futz up my Internet connection.

I was reading through some old writings when I was searching for my password to the wireless network. I found my old sections on Psychosis: Redux. Some of the changes in there I actually really liked such as the idea of having Lorelei watch after Nick for a while prior to the start of the story, the idea of Nick stalking Ty at first because of his art and later learning he's the kid he's supposed to be guarding, the idea of Luce stalking Kat because of her necklace, the random setup for the necklaces in the first place and Ty's issues. Pretty much the first chapter was good setup. Not sure if I can follow it up. Also, I need to be able to write het that doesn't bore me to tears. Stupid Ty/Angie. Though I might decide to make Kat and Ren hook up in the rewrite.

Man, I was vicious to CFUD back in the day, and this was when I was mere audience who stalked regularly. 0_o
