WAY TO GO, ENILAS.

He doesn't give up.

Thanks, [info]aviatrix8!

Edit: I asked for his opinion. I'm dying of curiosity. Why does he hate Kent/Lyn so much? And I swear, if he responds with "Kent's a robot", no one will find his body. :| (Okay, I'm joking, but that's hardly a defense, and if he says something so ridiculous, I'll have even less respect for him than I already do. Of course, it's hard to dip into the negatives on the Respect-Meter, but...he's there already, so why not find himself lower?)

Pure, 100% Unadulterated Crap Is Back!
EVERYONE, RUN!
IT'S THE RETURN OF ENILAS!

For those that weren't around or missed the funfest last go-around, Enilas is a little prick on the Fanfiction.net boards that likes being a jackass. If you missed all the joy last time, here's a link to amuse you.

If you remember that little fiasco, or you've read the above amusement, then READ ON!

I'm usually not bored enough to roam the FFN forums, but this kid makes me want to strangle something. 1.) He hijacks a "What would you like to see in Fire Emblem?" thread and insults me, pretty much by 2.) saying my ship is crap, and 3.) eventually apologizes by, 4.) reviewing one of my Kent/Lyn 'fics and saying, 5.) he has a distaste for Kent/Lyn, good writing, no offense was intended toward you and then, 6.) RINSE AND REPEAT ON ANOTHER FORUM THAT I ACTUALLY DO FREQUENT SOMETIMES?!

BEHOLD, KENT/LYN BASHING AGAIN!

Well, maybe not..."bashing" so much as just...insulting the people who write it by saying Kent/Lyn 'fic in general is "crap" and "buries all the good stuff".

Also, I could go off on TANGENTS about his Gary Stu tactician and TERRIBLE GRAMMAR in his forum posts that would make me run screaming from his profile page, let alone his 'fics. He needs to stop using the Pent icon. HE'S TAINTING ITTTTT.

/drools
/rages
/foams
/claws

Again, may I say just like I did the last time this happened. Kent/Lyn isn't canon except in the heads of those that ship it as much as I do. I don't expect everyone to love it. I don't expect everyone to ship it. But it seems this little prick likes to try and insult it at every opportunity, and that pisses me off. RESPECT other people's pairings, especially before you turn around and plug your own damn 'fic and actually want people to read it!

1.) Today is my mother and father's anniversary. :D

2.) I should have been learning that algebra with my father, seeing as how it's the same stuff my old algebra teacher wouldn't teach because she "didn't know how to teach it with a graphing calculator".

3.) I bawled my eyes out watching Avatar. (...M-Mostly at Appa.) One season to go, but it'll be a while before I can get the third season. :| Favorite characters... Hm. Still Momo, probably Iroh, and then a mix of Suki, Sokka, Ty Lee, Aang, Katara, Toph, and basically everyone else. I was going to try to not like Zuko, but I CAN'T HELP IT. A-Also the SD animations. I think I died. "My heart BURNS FOR YOU!!" <--I LOL'd so hard.

4.) I'm going to have to start going to bed on time. If you see me online around midnight, tell me to get to bed so I don't die. I'm going to have to start sleeping better, or I'll be doomed come winter when I'll have to get up earlier for work than I already do. (Isn't 4:30 early enough?)

5.) Fandom Secrets sometimes is great, but other times it annoys the hell outta me.

6.) Tomorrow is going to suck. The good thing is, I can have everyone else tell me about their ~amazing~ vacations, so hopefully they'll forget to ask me about mine. They already think I'm pathetic enough; they don't need to know about what I did (or rather, didn't do) on my time off.

7.) I'm hungry. I want pizza, but Ronato's is closed on Sunday. SOB. I could go to McDonald's. I think I'm addicted to that place, now. I refused to eat there for years, but...but their chicken wraps are SO GOOD. And $1 for soda? YEAH. I approve.

8.) My internet is so bad in the living room I can't stay connected. :|

...Sorry for spamming.

Despite the OBNOXIOUS CHA-CHA SLIDE going on across the street, I'm working on my novelization again. Seems I've messed up some things. I might take the liberty of ignoring some of these things. The biggest one is this:

I think Sain mentions that they got Madelyn's letter "this year". The way I have my timeline set up, however, makes that impossible. So I had to change it. Luckily it's only changed by the month. (Getting the letter the first week of January instead of the first week in December.) The only difference is really that Kent and Sain have less time to find Bulgar than it took for the letter to reach them...which actually makes perfect sense.

Also, some questions.

Do we know any of this information?

-Why Serra was...wherever she was? Was she in Bern completing her clerical training? Or hell, had she lived in Bern all her life?
-Do we know when Leila was actually sent on her final mission to infiltrate the Black Fang?
-WTF was Erk doing wherever it was Serra was?
-Lucius and Raven. In Lyn's story, I don't remember Lucius saying anything about why he was where he was. Maybe I missed it? (I think he's looking for Raven...maybe?)

-Nils and Ninian. They've been running from the Black Fang all this time?

...I think that's all.

...Must be a wedding reception. There are about a million cars parked down the street. Their music is still obnoxiously loud. ((They're playing Can You Feel the Love Tonight? now, HAHA!)) ((...And now it's Sexy Back. Halp.))

Anyway, the point of this post is to say that...

MY DAD IS GOING TO COLLEGE.

I'm so proud. ;O; And he valued my opinion about whether he should go to Clark State or Hi-Point. (Hi-Point gives a certificate, and Clark State does too, but it also gives an Associate's Degree. Siemens is required to pay for whatever he picks... Naturally, I said Clark State.)

My mother's teaching him algebra. I've already promised to help him with English (he's really bad at it).

My parents make a great team. ;_; I wouldn't settle for a marriage any less awesome than theirs.

And HAHAHA because I'll be the last one in the whole family to go to school.

Did I say I was proud, yet? I'm so proud. ;__;

DEAR NEIGHBORS ACROSS THE STREET,

TURN YOUR FUCKING MUSIC DOWN!

...I like "Pour Some Sugar on Me", but this is annoying. I liked the old crazy dog lady that lived over there. She was quiet. Never bothered anyone. Even the farm beside us who has played loud music NEVER HAD IT SO LOUD I COULD HEAR IT WITH ALL MY WINDOWS CLOSED.

D:< How rude. I don't care what they're doing over there; they ought to have some respect for the people who live close to them. :|

I took Tylenol PM yesterday evening, and went to bed early. Three hours later, I was still awake, unable to fall asleep, but starting to finally drift off...

Then, I heard...weird sounds. In my sleepy state, I couldn't really tell what they were, only that I was hearing them. Suddenly, it hit me-- I knew what they were!

I forced myself completely awake, and grabbed my phone, sliding it out so that the screen lit up at the same moment CiCi jumped in my bed holding a squeaky, living, in-pain mouse. She dropped it on my zebra-striped sheets, pleased as punch. It continued squeaking, and the light of the cell phone made it jump off the bed. CiCi followed in hot pursuit.

For the next three hours, CiCi hunted the mouse. And I turned on the lamp so I could make sure it wasn't on my bed in case CiCi decided to bring it back to me again. I woke up randomly at 4:30, realized the lamp was on, was wide awake, shrugged, and went back to sleep. Woke up again at 8am, paid my car payment, but didn't have an envelope, so I left a note for the parentals and like the lazy dumbass I've been since my vacation started, I...went back to bed and woke up again around 11am. I'm getting sleepy again, and it's 3:33pm. :|

This is interesting: Why Women Feel Tired

More of the depression aspect applies to me than it should, and I hate it.

I get tired at the randomest of times. I was ready to pass out around 4pm (oh, wait, I was napping, then) and I could hardly make myself get back up, and I dragged around for a few more hours and... I'm practically wide awake now. It's 1:47am. I know I'm ready to pass out, though. My back hurts like...whoa. And so do my shoulders.

...Yeah, now I'm tired. It's 1:54. See how that works? Just thinking of sleeping makes me sleepy. I hate that.

(I can't believe my vacation is almost over and I've written pretty much...nothing. I've wasted so much time I could smash my head into a brick wall and probably not regret it.)

Kyp still isn't back. I don't know what happened to him, and being on a scent trail, he might...not come back. If he doesn't, I'll just hope some kid somewhere loved his cuteness and...kept him. He deserves a kid for an owner.

Flash killed a chimpmunk. But that's okay, at least it wasn't a rabbit this time. That cat is insane. Speaking of cats, CiCi's been sleeping a lot. More than usual, I mean. She usually pesters me for attention nonstop. But she hasn't done it more than once all day. I need to find her rubberband. I had someone hide it because she was being so annoying with it, but...I don't remember where they hid it! Dx

NIGHT GUYS.

Sam and Diane, Ross and Rachel, Chuck and Blair—who is your favorite TV couple?


View other answers



There are too many to list. I used to obsess over Luke and Lorelei from Gilmore Girls, though. And Max and 99 from Get Smart, and and and... Yes, I realize I'm a dork.

I tried to go renew my plates (ie: buy updated tags for said plates), but the BMV was closed. (A nice, good-looking guy who was in his early 30s was nice enough to inform me~) Apparently, it's a state-wide problem, and due to their computer system. HOW GREAT IS THAT? Now I'll have to make an attempt to get that done another time, most likely after work next week. (It's hard to get there before they close after work.)

Also, Kyppr. Have I ever posted a picture of ol' Kyp? He's our dog. He was a stray, nobody came after him to claim him, we put up signs, uhh...so we kept him. HE'S THE STUPIDEST DOG TO EVER EXIST. Seriously. Well, we usually keep him in a kennel-run, but there's no shade. Since Casey died last year, though, I suggested we use the chain we used to use to tie her to a tree for Kyp. <--Seriously, Casey was a beagle and a BEAST. She broke chains that my shepherd/lab mixes couldn't break! Kyp is also a hound dog, and apparently BROKE THE CHAIN this morning and ran off somewhere following a trail.

Uhmmm... we're missing a dog.

Also, yes, I did name him Kyp (or Kyppr, since he's a dog) after Kyp from Star Wars. [Shifty eyes.] I thought he might have secretly been full of potential, then, but now I know better.

My day's starting off juuuust great. My shoulder is sore from yesterday, I think I did something to my back, and I'm totally braindead.

((Also, [info]speaky_bean? I'm finishing burning Rose of Versailles for you. Four discs to go. I'll try to mail out either Saturday or Monday.))

I'M BACK FROM KING'S ISLAND.

1.) I rode The Diamondback and OH MY GOD IT WAS SO AWESOME AHHHHH. I wish I could have gotten a front seat. The smoothest ride I've ever ridden. AND FAST. AND FUN. And long, too, which is great, especially after you stand in line forever.

2.) I also goofed off on: Flight of Fear, Spongebob 3D, Adventure Express, The Beast, Flight Deck (which used to be Top Gun), White Water Canyon (where I got soaked), THE TRAIN (which helped dry me off), The Vortex (it boxes everyone's ears), and TIMBERWOLF, which was EPIC and by EPIC I MEAN, REALLY AWESOME.

Timberwolf looks like a recycled, cheaper, crappier version of a boat-like ride they had when I was a kid. The old ride took you WAY up in the air, and then around a snake-like curve of track filled with water before it sent you down an insanely steep waterfall. This version is 1/3 as tall, sends you down a steep waterfall, isn't fast, isn't scary, IS VERY EPIC, IS ALSO UNPOPULAR, and SOAKS YOU. Just after I finally dried off, too. But that's not the best part. After you get off the ride, you think you'll be awesome, right? So there's this really great deck you can stand on at the bottom of the waterfall where you can watch the people on the boat. You THINK you'll be able to see their expressions when they get soaked (it's a shock; nobody expected to get that wet from such a stupid ride), but A GIANT WAVE IS MADE BY THE BOAT, AND SOAKS YOU MORE THAN YOU GOT SOAKED RIDING THE RIDE.

A WAVE HIT ME RIGHT IN THE FACE.

Me: Dad, we're going to get wet.
Dad: .../moves over like, an inch.
Me: ...Dad, we saw the group of people here get soaked.
Dad: /busy watching idiots on boat.
Me: ...!!! /wave in face

It's so HORRIBLE that you can't stop laughing. Some guy was standing there laughing at us. Afterward, we stood back and laughed at other people when they got soaked. (The wave from the boat doesn't look like it goes that high.)

3.) My face and neck are burned. Ouch.

4.) CiCi missed me while I was gone. Emails piled up, journals piled up. I got tired and my feet hurt and I didn't get to ride the Avatar ride (was too tired and lazy to look for it by the time we left), and if I wasn't so tired, we could STILL BE THERE since the park didn't close until 10. Alas, I can't do that anymore. Uh, I'm getting too old for it. I'm usually beat by about lunch time.

5.) I screamed at all the non-scary parts of The Beast, and the two women sitting in front of my sister and I couldn't stop laughing about how awesome it all was. One of my favorite things to do is wait until the end of the right, right before it pulls back into the station, and then SCREAM LOUDLY. I also like screaming loudly at non-scary rides, like Adventure Express, which amuses all the parents of the kids who ride it. And uh, me. I almost lost my voice with all the epic screaming. That's the fun part. It's not nearly as much fun if you don't scream like you're going to die.

6.) UHHH I drew a couple things...

7.) But as I was doodling badly-drawn pokémon, my writing brain sidled up to me and put it's arm around me and whispered sweet nothings into my ear. Even though it basically told me to drop dead all last week and most of this week, I...had to...take it back. So I wrote down notes for my novelization. Which I won't bore everyone with.

Tomorrow I'm going to King's Island with my parents and sister, so I'll try to get lots of pictures and maybe I'll even squeeze in a Voicepost while I'm gone. Meanwhile, I need to charge my iPod, my phone, my DS (which I think has been on the charger for uh...four weeks, actually) and I need to get my stuff together and decide what to wear.

I'm kinda thinkin'...zebra stripes. :D I bought a new tank top for like, $12 that is covered in zebra stripes. (But my parents might kill me before letting me wear it, so...) Either way, I'm going to wear capris that have zebra stripes on 'em, and uh...maybe my cute zebra-striped belt, too.

CiCi's being really cuddly again today. The only bad thing about this is that she has a bit of separation anxiety, and I don't know what she'll do when I go back to work, especially since my sister's been hanging out downstairs.

So tomorrow, on the long car ride (okay, so it's a couple of hours, but still) I think I want to doodle a bit. Just for kicks, nothing too serious and nothing human. How about doodling pokémon?

So tell me your favorite pokémon!

Or like, top five favorites, what have you. :| I'll be bored, and I'll have music, but I can't talk and write at the same time, and I sure as heck won't get much written in the car, anyway. I can get art done. Simplistic art. I can maybe doodle up an example in Photoshop later.

BUT PLEASE TELL ME. =D

I don't like pasta. There is only one exception, and that is tuna casserole.

Well, today, lasagna was for dinner. Now, I've literally skipped out on lasagna for probably uh...years. We don't have it often, but I really don't like it. It's better than spaghetti, but still. Ugh.

Well, my sister was running me through a dungeon in World of Warcraft, and she mentioned in party chat that the parentals have been feeling ~unappreciated~ lately, no doubt due to my two idiot brothers. (I have a hard time deciding which one I hate more. (The one that denounced Christianity and God, but goes to church and claimed my sister was wearing a sacrilegious shirt today, or the one that's just a general, all-around douchebag and thinks life is about him, and no one else? Hm. Tough choice.)

Anyway, my mother made the lasagna differently, and it...was actually good. Yeah. Really good. :D

Bedtime for me, now. My cat is giving me the Evil Eye. Which is actually still really cute.

4. Limited Interests - 55.6%
5. Selfishness - 54.5%


Dating Strengths Explained
Financial Situation - You've got your financial situation under control, which is a very desirable quality. Be careful to avoid guys who are only interested in your money.
Spirituality - Your spiritual side brings you peace and balance, and keeps you grounded. This is attractive, as you can help reinforce this quality in other people.
Sense of Humor - Guys are attracted to people with a good sense of humor. Be sure to put yours on display!
Independence - Your strong sense of independence comes in handy while dating. You are not held back or tied down; you are free to pursue your interests.
Adventurousness - You are willing to try new things and be spontaneous. You want to get out there and really live, and you will attract people with a similar love of life.

Dating Weaknesses Explained
Shyness - You know all too well the limits shyness places on you. Putting yourself out there in social situations may be difficult, but essential to your dating success.
Appearance - Devoting a greater effort at making good first impressions is a must. Try to be fit and develop a style if you want to catch a guy's attention.
Closed-Mindedness - You are very fixed in your world-view, but if you open up a little you will see that people can hold different beliefs and still get along well.
Limited Interests - Being interested or involved in more things makes you a more well-rounded and interesting person. Try to branch out into new things.
Selfishness - You think too much of yourself and your needs. You must learn to put your partner first and tend to his needs.

And another day...comes, and apparently goes...without me caring much. I'm so bleh. I've been feeling bleh all week. I'm tired of feeling like thisss. And I lost weight again. 4lbs. 98lbs. That's kind of sick. Especially because I've consumed nearly an entire bag of chocolate kisses (with almonds) in the last few days.

And now I'm hungry again even though I ate lunch a couple of hours ago. I also would love some coffee. Iced cappuccino, to be exact. I shouldn't go get any, but... butbutbut...!!

ALSO I AM GOING THROUGH SODA-POP WITHDRAWAL. CLEARLY. I need some. I need...soda. Sodasodasodasodasoda. ;O;

Happy Fourth of July guys. :D

Also, I'm sleepy. Also, fireworks in the rain? Lame. Fries late at night? Not lame.

I think I've figured out my problem, too. I mean, my problem with motivation and writing and everything else. All week at work I decide to wait until the weekend to write, because I'm always so tired. But when the weekend comes, I'm still really tired, and writing still doesn't get done. My last couple writing ventures have been failures, and my attempt yesterday more so. I'm going to have to figure out a way to motivate myself. I guess I'm not like most people; I enjoy my vacations by doing nothing.

In fact, since my vacation started, I've hardly left the house at all. I'm a bit disappointed in myself, but I really don't have anyone to see or anywhere to go. Except the grocery store. But alas, I might have to really scrimp, then. I knew my car payment was coming up, but I TOTALLY FORGOT that I have to renew my tags for my car! (There goes an extra $100!) Well, the price in general went up, but whatever.

I originally planned to change my plates every year, but EPIC SUV is staying. =D

I hope everyone had a good holiday. ♥

The only thing that sucks about tomorrow is that it's the first Sunday of the month. That's when they call out birthdays, and, lucky me, my birthday's this month, so I have to go stand up in front of everyone and get a song sung at me. Yay. <--Note the extreme amount of enthusiasm in that statement.

Oh well.

If you guys could see me talking to my cat, you would never be able to take anything I say seriously. Ever. Again. She was so cuddly today~ And I'm probably covered in cat hair, but that's okay because my shirt's white anyway. (And is huge and has a giant zebra on it.)

I need to post more pictures of CiCi. She's so adorable. And I need to get my sister to film her fetching so that it's more obvious as to what's going on, 'cause the last videos I posted were really horrible. And I've since put the Christmas tree back in the garage. :|

I'm on episode...12 of Avatar. Best character is, by far, Momo. I want one of my very own. A cat-lemur-bat. YEAH. SO CUTE.

Other'n that, I've been useless. Yeah. All week. I feel bad. Vacation...totally wasted. =(

HEE.

This novelization.

I'm. Inspired.

I think. Either way, I'm done editing.

Final word counts for these chapters is as follows:

Prologue, Noble Lady of the Lorca: 2,478
Chapter One, Last of the Lorca: 5,776
Chapter Two, Family Ties: 4,136
Chapter Three, Two Knights of Caelin: 5,139

For a grand total of...not that many words. :|

At any rate, this isn't getting posted that soon. Yeah, sorry, but I'd like to get a little further into this thing before I commit myself by actually putting it up on the internet. Mostly because, no matter how committed I feel by posting something, it really holds no sway over whether or not I choose to keep updating it, and I don't want this to die as some half-baked idea on the internet.

I'm not sure what the next scene was supposed to be. And my fingers are starting to hurt a little. I guess it's time for me to look it up. Maybe I'll write about Florina, now. :D

...BACK TO WORRRK.

EDIT: NEVER MIND. My writing is crap. I'm very disappointed. Maybe I'll go back and try again later. =/
