...Oh god, I'm going to have quotes from him forever burnt in my brain. And that laugh. That stupid sexy laugh.

I seem to have totally dropped the ball again. I plan ahead to make time to get my work done, then sit in front of my computer staring at the screen fretting that I'm not doing it. Next week is finals week.

Different symptoms, but I'm nearly delirious again. I'm getting really tired of stupid crap happening in the weeks leading up to my finals. Originality, I can has it prz?

So much drama is happening, too.

Internet...

WHY SO SERIOUS?

---

As a side note, I now have easy access to wireless intarwebs for mah pokeymans. I'm also seriously desperate for second gen starters, particularly Totodile.

Anyone wanna breed one up for me? >.> I don't care what gender or anything, I'll breed it how I want it over the course of many long terrible hours of biking up and down route 209 and 210 or wherever. I lack hax and all that special shit, but I have boxes and boxes of every other gen starter from my neurotic selective breeding (except Chimchar), and a metric ton of Eevees...

Edit: Shit, I don't think I have Mudkip either. I fail. I'll stuff my code on here later when I'm at home.

I R LEVEL UP.

...

So, 22 years ago, in the middle of a blizzard with a shitton of UFO sightings, I began my reign of terror on this planet.

GUISE GUISE, WUT DID YEW GET 4 ME?!1/1//1??!?!/1

Oh well. I would have forgotten it was today if I hadn't been up till somewhere past 3am and noticed the day change. So I'm running on somewhere under 3 hours sleep, trying to write a journal which is guaranteed to be scarcely coherent, while waiting for photography class to resume, which I don't have my work for, because the people in the Cage need to be kicked in the head.

*tableflip* Screw it, I'm done typing. I'll add shit later if shit happens. Don't hold your breath, we all know I'm an antisocial angry animating asshat.

* * * *

EDIT 2/11: So after an interesting night, I woke up completely confused as to who I was, what gender I was, why one of my characters was not snuggled next to me, and thinking about how to rescue one of my minions....who did not have the correct name.

I'm not sure whether to laugh or try and work out how questionable that was. Or maybe both.

I'll assume this was a side effect of spontaneously having my dinner revisit me. I have now declared war on my body. This could get ugly, kids...

FFS, this office is a goddamn oven. I don't comprehend how people think it's great to go from below freezing temperatures into tropical climate conditions, how about dressing for the season? As if I don't have enough problems in the morning, I have to feel the need to vomit all day because I actually WEAR CLOTHING.

Yes, heat makes me angry. Baww.

Oh hey, I passed everything.

I've determined that my sanity is Mufasa trying to claw his way out of that canyon. I've yet to determine who Scar is in this situation to completely ruin me.

I don't even remember November happening. I know terrible shit happened before and during it, but I'm barreling so haphazardly through my MOUNTAIN OF PROJECTS that my sense of time is utterly gone. No time to mourn, no time to eat, no time to drink, no time to sleep. Now every time I animate I get a mental play-by-play of the funeral too. And I've got such a short fuse now that I keep distancing myself from what few people I do talk to.

Oh, I also suddenly lost my high school ring.

I've never been this completely defeated in my entire life. And it's really an accomplishment to defeat me, because I'm the most tenacious, stubborn person I know.

In other news, I noticed that the words to Devour sound exactly like me...well, devouring lore. Tearing through everything that I can read and absorb, ruining old ideas, causing an upheaval in my beliefs, blah blah drama desu.

Speaking of lore...I ended up educating someone who never played Everquest in the history of Mayong Mistmoore. It felt so good to relive those memories...He beat the utter hell out of me and I fell totally in love with his character. I wish I'd gotten to see him finally attain godhood. Poor boy deserved it after all that work, though going after Solusek Ro was a really poor idea...

...

...

BRB LORE.

Bah.

I think I was going to make a point here, but the dean or some other important person who I forgot the name of walked by and knew who I was, which was kind of unsettling. Not as unsettling as Frostmourne sticking out of your chest, though.

On an unrelated and cryptic note, I had the rug ripped out from under me. You may all point and laugh at me while screaming YOU JUST LOST THE GAME, while I put up a futile effort to deny it.

I came within millimeters of FALCON PAUUUNCHing the computer off of the table.

Now I'm trying to fix it or cheat around it.

In an unrelated topic, I'm magically fangirling over Solusek Ro again. How odd.

Also, I has delicious cake, and you no can has it.

Got Kael back. Grandfather just got irritated and bought him a new vid card. It's better, too. I'm not complaining >.>

Well, not about that anyway. I'm complaining about the monstrous pile of flash work that I need to do now. Two animations and a game, by....next week....

....And the game refuses to work......And my will to work suddenly crapped out....

And then I spent 2 hours downloading 4 gigs of crap now. I'm fairly disgusted at the speed of the internet at school, since my dialup at home would have taken approximately 2 months to do it. Oh well. Saves me time for whenever I get Kael back. I'm starting to think I won't be getting him back, really. Going on the 7th week or so of not having my sexy computer at home, all because the fucking vid card fan started spazzing.

Oh right. My schoolwork is coming along fine too. Nothing like trying to animate in smelly labs with nosey people. It's also great trying to find a lab with decent computers that isn't being used by a class, god forbid they give us a lab full of WORKING computers that students can use for projects when retarded shit happens.

But woo, I seem to suck less with my tablet.

-----------

Rules!
1. Open your music library (iTunes, winamp, ipod, whatever you use)
2. Get it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For each question press play and write the name of the song played
5. For each new question you must press next
6. Don't cheat, write the song it plays, not the one you want

1. Opening Credits:
Pat Benatar - We Belong

....I REALLY don't like where this is going already.

2. Waking Up:
Iron Maiden - The Trooper

Okay. This works, sort of. I usually wake up in the mood to make a furious charge to my death. No seriously, I do.

3. First Day Of School:
The Phantom Menace OST - Duel of the Fates

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH GOD WIN. EPIC WIN.

4. Falling In Love:
Final Fantasy XI - The Garden of Ru'Hmet

Odd choice for love. Well, actually...It sets up an early anticipation and anxiety of the breakup. So I guess it sort of fits. Ru'Hmet's made of beautiful loneliness.

5. Fighting Scene:
Blue Oyster Cult - Goin Through the Motions

....What the fuck, is this fighting or foreplay?

6. Breaking Up:
Michiru Oshima - Greed

Awesome. We all love that orchestral buildup of fury and despair. As long as I can bag Greed for a rebound with lots of furiou- nevermind.

7. Graduation Party:
Sonic Adventure 2 OST - Still Invincible

I got an shiny rainbow invincible shield of death for graduation. How handy. BRB RUINING ROBOTNIK'S DAY.

8. Life's Good:
Yuki Kajiura - Key of the Twilight

"Fanatics find their heaven in neverending storming winds
Auguries of destruction be your lullaby for rebirth"

Suits me.

9. Mental Breakdown scene:
Ailsean - Dancing Mad Once Again

I swear to god this seriously came up. I then shat a cathedral AND a mountain, considering I blast this song when I'm losing my mind already...

10. Driving without a Destination:
Final Fantasy VIII - Liberi Fatali

Well, I guess it works as a good follow-up to my mental breakdown.

11. Flashback:
Tenchi Universe - Washu's Science Song

WAT.

12. Together Again:
David Bowie - Time

"Breaking up is hard, but keeping dark is hateful
I had so many dreams,
I had so many breakthroughs
But you, my love, were kind, but love has left you
Dreamless
The door to dreams was closed.
Your park was real dreamless
Perhaps you're smiling now,
Smiling through this darkness
But all I had to give was the guilt for dreaming"

Apparently being together again isn't all warm fluffiness and snuggles. Incidentally, something happened to me that makes this...appropriate.

13. Wedding:
Mozart - Symphony #40 in G Minor

I do like my weddings with a bit of ...weirdness and possible insanity.

14. First Born:
Scatman John - Scatman

EVERYBODY STUTTERS ONE WAY OR THE OTHER SO CHECK OUT MY MESSAGE TO YOU-

....Oh gods. I'm never breeding.

15. Death Scene:
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - The Black Gate is Closed

As long as I went out in style. Preferably with swords and lots of death in a huge radius.

16. End Credits:
Oasis - Wonderwall

AND THEN I MADE SURE NOBODY STAYED TO WATCH THE CREDITS.

----------

That was enlightening. Though, now I'm sitting here letting it play and the good songs keep coming up... Paradise City...Kazenone.... By The Way....Sweet Little Sister... ⌐_⌐

EDIT: I did the sequel from my actual library instead of the ipod, since they have a lot of different things.

So here's CASEY 2: THE SEQUEL, since OBVIOUSLY I was reincarnated and did my whole life over again.

1. Opening Credits:
Disgaea 2 OST - Tsumi no Bara

Well, that's not too bad.

2. Waking Up:
Guns N' Roses - It's So Easy

Eh...

3. First Day Of School:
FFXI - Despair

WINRAR.

4. Falling In Love:
Aerosmith - What Kind Of Love Are You On?

Oooookay...

5. Fighting Scene:
The Lance fight music from Pokemon Blue

OH GODS, DID NOT KNOW I HAD THIS ON MY COMPUTER. LOLING FURIOUSLY.

6. Breaking Up:
The Lion King OST - Be Prepared

Because we all know I'm a vengeful sneaky bastard and will get an army of nazi hyenas to kick you... ]]> ~HarpyofSpiritCasey http://HarpyofSpiritCasey.deviantart.com/journal/19850557/ http://HarpyofSpiritCasey.deviantart.com/journal/19850557/ Fri, 08 Aug 2008 18:25:59 PDT
/pointless crap on

The longer I'm without my new computer, the more I end up imagining all the horriblly violent ways Mistmoore could kill her. My poor, abused druid. And to think my obsession never would have gone so far if I hadn't been killing his brides for a nice purple robe when someone came downstairs to pop him for the first time on the server. He took out the entire basement, probably 60 people competing for the 3 brides, in like....2 minutes? Such beautiful carnage. I never died that fast before, except to gods. KILL ME HARDER.

/pointless crap off

Also,

FOR FUCKING INNORUUK'S SAKE, I SWEAR TO GOD IF THIS JACKASS DOESN'T TAKE HIS GODDAMN COUGH MEDICINE SO HE STOPS HACKING AND WHEEZING AND GROANING LOUDER THAN MY BLASTING HEADPHONES WHILE I'M TRYING TO WORK AND CAN'T SHUT MY DOOR BECAUSE OF THE HEAT I WILL BATTER TO DEATH THEM. BATTER TO DEATH THEM!

I wholeheartedly regret the money I spent on TGC. It was one long parade of 'wait....what?'. I read the book before I saw it and the movie still confused the hell out of me. God help any poor soul that didn't read the book and went in to watch it, I know I'd be terribly lost (but possibly intrigued to find the book. Then boycott the movie). Also hello do we leave out the entire end of the book.

Then on to my other mov-BAHAHAHAHAHA JOHNNY DEPP AND ALAN RICKMAN. SINGING. TOGETHER. TOO MUCH AWESOME IN ONE MOVIE. DOES NOT COMPUTE.

That is all.

Trying to write a resume, make a business card, also CD/DVD cover (which I did way back in typography class and can't find now that I need it...), plus do a storyboard and animatic of a short placeholder animation for my demo reel, which I've barely conceptualized let alone drawn. But I made some weird cute little thing for it that rather reminds me of a chao.

Speaking of chao, nostalgia is strong with me in everything. I stormed back into SA2:B and started raising chao with a vengeance. My Dark/Running is on his way to being a Shadow chao. My Hero/Swimming is far too adorable, and going /Flying next. My Neutral/Flying is a freak that I don't know what I'm doing with. And now I have a baby on his way to Neutral/Power.

Now I just spent all that time typing this and not doing work. Rrrgggghhhh.

inb4 bawwing and complaints.

So much crap that I want to scan and color...But of course, Kael's video card hasn't returned yet. And we're going into the third week of this quarter.

It's awesome to try and get loads of Flash work done when you have nearly no time to spare to sit in labs. Can't stay past dark, commuting in and out of Philadelphia once the sun goes down is...Not healthy.

Bah.

inafter bawwing and complaints.

Well, I has a job now. Student worker assistant thing. Which roughly translates to the three people above me fobbing off any bit of manual labor they can think of on me. So I bravely shove papers into envelopes, make copies, send faxes, and shred documents while trying not to get enough papercuts to make my hands look like I got into a fight with a storm of blades. Or whatever that Enchanter pet was called.

EQ nostalgia is strong with me as of late.

The above is why letting your mind wander while your iPod carries on can be a terrifying thing. I was paralyzed in a silent fit of hysterical laughter for many minutes for the pure retardation of that. I think I died a little inside. Though I suppose the undead would like it that way. Urgh...I'll never be able to listen to that song again.

Oh hi AM 44 spoilers. Not that anyone cares.

Nashmeira: Hey Destra! Go hold off my mecha obsessed brother and his Christopher Walken-esque soul devouring buddy for a few minutes while I have tea and crumpets with this rather obese fellow on top of Alexander's control box!

Um. Sure. I'll get right on that.

Raubahn is so terrifying that it's sexy. This does not compute, as I'm not allowed to want humes for hatesex. Especially not blue mages that don't stay dead.

Also, I've decided that Raubahn must sing Grace Kelly to me, and Razfahd sings Sweet Transvestite. Because that would make the ENTIRE WORLD COME TO AN END.

That aside, FFXI is depressing the shit out of me.

*** Friday ***

I go to background design & layout class in the morning with all my stuff packed for the weekend, and managed to completely forget ALL MY FREAKING WORK. So Friday started great even before I got to the con. Then I noticed that hmm, I seem to be missing a few essential components, namely a pillow. So After class let out around 11:30 am-ish, I barreled back home to get what details I needed, then back off to the dorm that I was staying at. By about 2:45 we were back, unpacked, and ready to roll out to the start of the con...

...Only to find that the schedule had magically changed so that the con started at noon instead of 4. And we missed a lot of crap, namely the autograph signing bit.

Then I found out that Crispin Freeman was not there. My world, my overlord, one of the prime reasons of my existence was not at the convention that I had glorified, anticipated, and prepared laboriously for.

That combined with the general horrific bad luck I'd been having all day forced me all the way home in tears. At home (in bed), I got to listen to the theme song of Family Guy blasted at maximum volume about 8 times before I was heard yelling for my stepdad to turn it the hell down. May the person who introduced him to Family Guy suffer in hell.

/WRIST /WRIST /WRIST

*** Saturday ***

Checked my chocobo then left for the convention again. I noticed on the train that I had forgotten to eat as usual, and cursed my retardation. Then I inhaled my gum out of the blue. No surprises, no shocking thoughts, just....whoosh. And it was stuck right in my throat. Instead of hacking, coughing, and gagging it back up, I swallowed it because the train was pretty full and I didn't want to be a sick ass. Hoo boy, was that a bad idea.

So I get off the train, feeling rather nauseated by the gum incident, and bought a donut (from the downstairs dunkin donuts. upstairs they're 10 cents cheaper. I have no idea why). The general feeling of sickness persists throughout the day, but I made a wonderful discovery; Vic Mignogna is quite possibly the most awesome person that I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.

It started when I lurked outside the Voice Actors Q&A panel, since it was full and the best I could do was quietly eyeball him through the glass. I couldn't hear much, but I watched him very closely. Deprived of my Crispin, I arbitrarily made it my goal do find out what I could about Vic (and totally missed poor JYB sitting right next to him. DURR HURR HURR). So the rest of my convention-going time was largely focused on him, since I admit to never having gone digging into online vaults of information on him.

The Risembool Rangers panel was bounced between him and Aaron Dismuke. Aaron was rather quiet and aloof (though still entertaining), but Vic owned the show. I got a few wonderfully awesome pictures, but something strange happened. After someone gave him a box of powdered donuts, he started handing them out. And I was situated perfectly to get a nice....rear view shot. So, being the opportunist that I am, I took the shot. Then a small squealing contingent of fangirls started worshipping me, because I 'OMGTOOKAPICOFHISASS'. Uh, it's there, I'm not going to let the chance just pass me by. I guess that's the pirate in me. Plus, I got a donut when he turned around. The panel ended, and I got Aaron's autograph, followed by Vic's. Round one is a solid victory.

Directly after was Vic's own panel. Due to ultra-convenient timing, I got a front row seat. The panel was awesome, and I got what was supposed to be the last, serious question. Given this ultimate opportunity, what do I ask?

'How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?'

....I SERIOUSLY hope it's on Youtube somewhere, I dearly want to see his completely stunned reaction again. Eventually, I found out that he prefers to just crunch them. So round two was also a solid victory.

I proceeded to buy a chocobo plushie. I almost got a tonberry, but it was kind of....crappy. Also, a Red Mage pin, and a Sephiroth pin. Don't forget Ed's watch. Or the Anonymous cosplayer with a Pool's Closed sign walking around.

Also met a guy in the video room who gave me a Darkrai and a Manaphy egg for a Jolly & Modest Eevee, as I have approximately 50 Eevees left from the great breeding escapade. I should have kept my DS out more often, who knows what else I might have gotten? I felt kind of bad, because I was trying to pay attention to Saiyuki's subtitles while dealing with him, and this made me appear as dense as a block of lead due to only paying limited attention to him.

Then upon noticing the time, I skirted into Lex... ]]> ~HarpyofSpiritCasey http://HarpyofSpiritCasey.deviantart.com/journal/15270093/ http://HarpyofSpiritCasey.deviantart.com/journal/15270093/ Mon, 29 Oct 2007 09:37:41 PDT
So now I feel bad.

Tony came back on EQ. I spent 8 hours Friday having an epic battle with ISPs and getting a whole new one just so I could get my ps2 online. I should be more excited, but I just feel....amazingly calm and content. It's odd. Now if my dear Lady Vox would just spawn for me...Maybe Skahyir....Life would just be perfect. I need to prove my obnoxious soloing might, y'know.

Massive urge to play ToS and develop my ToS character. Hrmm....

(Edit: Okay, I got a new icon. And it's Dist. Who wears pink. But it's Dist, so that makes it okay...)

Also, enmity for netzero rising. When I tell you to automatically reconnect and click the box to do so, don't give me a popup saying LOLDISCONNECTED. RECONNECT?

I need to get my ass in gear for Tandokucon. I'm horribly depressed that I didn't get my act together to cosplay Dist. Oh well. First con and all.

...with Crispin Freeman.

LORD ZETTA, COMING TO A CONVENTION NEAR YOU.

Have some art that I've been hoarding in the past few months but have been too lazy to upload.

My internet was cut for no reason a while back. That was real nice. Now I have Netzero, which fails more than AOHell. I even miss AOHell.

Well, most people that know me know that I'm an obsessive Lorewhore. Final Fantasy XI has a shocking, depressing lack of it, and after years of little-to-nothing, I've now turned to hazy, outside, auxillary sources. *shifty eyes*

I'm now a walking encyclopedia of Everquest, Final Fantasy XI, and Warcraft lore.

Don't expect to see me on WoW any time soon. I still hiss, spit, and snarl at people who think annything done on there is an accomplishment compared to the years I've endured and succeeded on EQ and FFXI.

...Well, there's been a lot more 'succeeding' on EQ than there has been on FFXI.

Anyway, the world needs more Kael'thas.






***WARNING: I feel like complaining. A lot. Go read something else unless you want to read MMO addict droning that you likely won't understand/care about.***

I mean really. Everquest is a struggle, but it was always triumph in the face of adversity for me. Well, until my guild exploded and died, then I had to go on and weave my epic emo story of trying to get revenge by joining the guilds we hated to kill them, but...I went off the point.

FFXI is just slap after slap of HAHA, YOU ALMOST GOT WHAT YOU WANTED, BUT SCREW YOU ANYWAY. Linkshell after linkshell, I almost get my crimson pants, but NOOOOOO, the leader has to spontaneously combust, or steal the bank and hop servers. Oh, don't forget those LSes that see a Red Mage trying to get them, then kick me right before I have the points I need for it, pretending I'm 'not active enough'. Please.

Seriously, all I want is Crimson Cuisses. I've been trying to get them for what, 3 years? This is ridiculous, I could have had 3 Excaliburs by now if I put my mind to that instead.

Persistent ass that I am, I refuse to give up, but I've went through like....12 sky linkshells. Possibly more of the minor ones that start and die just as fast.

I swear, Altana and Promathia are sitting somewhere watching what I do and giggling every time they totally screw my poor Mithra over. Having contests to see who can screw me over more.

...Or I'm just really annoyed and needed to envision the pair of them doing just that to amuse myself. /endrant

Okay, I'm done. Taking my anger out on a keyboard to type up crap that nobody cares about felt pretty good, actually. I see why bloggers like this stuff. Though I fail to see why other people are so interested in reading them.

That scene out of FFXI had such a ridiculous impact on me that I could whistle it note-perfect even though I hadn't heard it for so long. I started watching FMA and was whistling along to it and had the utter shit confused out of me. How do I know a song that I don't remember ever hearing? And why is it making me sob like a whipped child?

I feel so much better that I finally figured out how the hell I knew this song after ravaging every anime and game I could think of for where the hell it came from.

I know, I know, nobody cares about my revelation and huge inflated ego over it. I'll just go back to drawing me as Greed, becaused it looks......amazing.

I'll leave my old art up as a tribute to the days when all I had was Paintshop 5 and little/no clue what I was doing. My newer stuff will be added. Someday. I have a boatload of Dist fanart as well as my TotA fanchara, among some other things.

I really am quite hungry right now... *gnaws on her own hand* >.>'

The art here is old and crusty, and it's from the days when I had only Paintshop 5. I'll put up some slightly more impressive stuff when I get the chance and am not Dist-racted by Tales of the Abyss (How Dist-urbing. Most of you won't understand why I put 'Dist-' there *evil smile*)
