Dec. 28th, 2009 07:47 pmJust because I felt I should actually mention it, in case anyone is interested, I've got a musebox. I've had it for a while, but... only recently actually realized what a musebox was.
Anyway.

Dec. 25th, 2009 08:17 pmROLE PRAISE
I could post a haul list, but it would be very short as I got a total of three things this year. They were very nice though =D
I worked today, which is fine because I got paid x1.5, the worst bit was Ckoworker, who hadn't showed up for her last like four shifts finally reappeared (it was nice to know she wasn't dead, at least), claimed to have been in the hospital, then just kind of hovered around in a creepy way.
BUT YES I am enjoying my Xmas anyway.

Dec. 25th, 2009 07:39 pmI wanna wish everybody, all over the world, a Merry Happy. Regardless of what you celebrate, it's nice to take some time, be appreciative of who you're with and what you have. Take care, and I wish you all the best for the next year and then some.

Dec. 19th, 2009 11:30 pmToday was nice in a number of small ways.
Usually I ignore the word jumble in the paper, but today I just so happened to bother with it. One of the words was 'ELITE'.
Spent the day with friends making gift baskets for people who... are on welfare, or something. Most important was we hadn't seen each other in ages and there was much geeky catching up to do. One friend gave us our Christmas presents--I got a teddy bear dressed like Darth Vader. More like Dart Bader, am I right. Its awesomeness made me feel bad because I haven't bought them anything yet. I never know what people would like D=
For those wondering, I gave the lesbo magnet to another coworker who thought her friend would get a kick out of it. I'm keeping the tiny business card for the sake of storytelling.

Dec. 18th, 2009 11:21 pmSo weird shift today. I mean it was mostly totally normal, but...
Well it was my first day back since Thanksgiving (so not really all that long), and I shared the shift with one of the new guys who's actually a pretty cool dude and fun to spend the shift with. He's a naturally chill personality, and makes it easier to be friendly with the customers just by following his lead.
So towards the end of the shift, things are slowing down, so we have time to banter with a couple customers while trying to convince them to upgrade for moar popcoarn. It was fun times. After a little bit, though, the woman from the couple comes back, which is no big, people often come back after changing their mind and wanting something else, but no, she had a special tip for us because she thought we were cool.
She gave us lesbian magnets.
No kidding, magnets with two chicks kissing and taking each others clothes off. And a tiny little business card with more chicks making out. Apparently she's some sort of nudity artist. She gave both me and my coworker our own magnet.
I don't know about you guys but I find this to be the most hilarious tip ever.

Dec. 15th, 2009 09:01 pmJust a random question that I'm curious about:
Say you were given an object that represented your lifespan. An hourglass, a clock, a candle, whatever. Not only does that object represent how much time you have, but if anything should happen to it, you could die.
Would you want to keep it, or give it back?
I think that the answer could say a lot about a person, but I dunno.

Dec. 13th, 2009 07:30 pmOh right also Princess and the Frog was really great.
I went to see it with a friend, and also I accidentally invited Roommate 2 which put some damper on the to-and-from journey, but that didn't stop me from thoroughly enjoying the movie. The characters were all very likable, the songs fun, and I think that Disney did a great job with combating all the complaints that so many people expect of Princess movies by now.
I don't have anything really to add that hasn't already been said by others on my flist, but it was a ton of fun and I wholeheartedly recommend it to y'all.

Dec. 12th, 2009 12:27 amSo today was pretty awesome.
Most important was learning that my teachers think I'm awesome. I went in to talk about my evaluation today--at Evergreen, we don't get grades, just evaluations of how you performed during the quarter--and my teacher basically said that she and the other teacher feel lucky to have me in the class. They think I'm talented, insightful, creative, and interesting. There are students in the class texting, or falling asleep, but seeing someone like me who really works and enjoys it helps them keep in mind why they came out of retirement.
I have the awkward cross of an easily-inflated ego being kept down with constant personal reminders of shortcomings. You could say that learning this has been a happy little push to the former.
That aside, I suddenly received a package today from my uncle containing Glee: Volume 1, which is awesome and had songs I had not yet stolen online. I also finally got the Random Shirt from Shirt!Woot, though I don't get it at all.
Also, continuing with adventures in Persona 4, the ~bad bad bathhouse~ level has a while yet to go, but in the meantime I got to show my friend the first two episodes of One Piece. She already thinks Luffy is a hilarious character, which is a very good sign.
So yes, I am pleased with the events of the day 8D

Dec. 8th, 2009 11:12 pmDear LJ:
It's great that you're sending everyone those damn snowflake cookies, but stop putting a message in my mailbox to let me know that all my friends have gotten one also. I do not need to know that every one of them has gotten it. Maybe that's why you're having such lag with sending notifications, hmm?
Seriously,
-Sarah

Okay guys so I finally have started looking into Persona
Like a few days ago I started reading a Let's Play for Persona 2 Eternal Punishment, it's decent interesting and Katsuya is the sort of BAMF I could see myself RPing some day in the future.
And today a friend brought over her playstation and her Persona 4 to let me start a file
=D It's hilarious. I don't know why I'm so entertained by a game that makes pee jokes and swears but I am. The voice acting is pretty great, even if it takes its time in letting you do anything. Yousuke is an amazing derp and Chie's kind of a crybaby for such a badass.
arrrgh this is the result of me not having the cool systems I miss out on cool stuff ._.

Dec. 4th, 2009 08:00 pmSo over the last three days, everyone in my class gave monologues reflecting parts of themselves. Going through a class on introspection, it can make it hard to realize some of the things about the people you're sharing the time with. And now, all of a sudden, we get to realize things about these people we never knew, never imagined about them.
Some of the monologues were more interesting than others, more dynamically presented, better memorized, but everyone was putting themselves out there for people to see, and many of them were really powerful. People were still coming up to me two days after my monologue to tell me how much they enjoyed mine, but I still felt a little self-conscious when I saw how deep some of the other people got.
I don't have much else to say about it. It was just really, really nice.
Now for some memes.
( Snowballs flyin pine trees dyin )
( Television, television )
Lastly, I've been debating who, if anyone, I should app at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
xi_rpg next. I do like playing Morris, but considering who he was as a kid I'm not sure if he'd really work in that sort of environment. It'll be something I'll have to think on a lot. I've also considered Tanaka, as it could be fun to work with him there (especially since I'm missing playing him now), but I don't wanna seem like a canon-hog. I dunno. I wish I had more muses outside these games.

Dec. 2nd, 2009 12:40 pmOkay so now I am chill up until evaluation week =D
So I don't remember how much I've spoken about it, but for our class, they didn't bother with tests or whatever, they told us to turn in three pieces of self-reflective art, one of which had to be 18x24 or larger, and also a monologue of self-reflection from 5-10 minutes.
The instant they gave us this assignment, I knew I wanted to tell the class about the effect Elite Beat Agents had on me. Because I'm that big a dork.
The art was kind of... well, I'm not much of a painter, or a metaphorical artist. I draw comics and doofy crap. So I worked out one kind of cool metaphorical ink drawing, but then I drew a comic about how Digimon made me want to start drawing, and then I just did a giant drawing with me making a bunch of faces. People seemed to enjoy it.
Then I dress in full EBA suit (it's been a while since I last wore it, with the added upgrades of better headphones, dress shoes, and a tie tied all by myself), go up and talk about how I don't have much in the way of spirituality, but then I got this silly game about secret agent male cheerleaders, and described to them how I totally got into the last level's buildup for JJF. I clapped and chanted, "E.B.A. E.B.A." and I described the Agents breaking free of their statues, and sang some Jumpin' Jack Flash, and talked about how awesome it would be if that were true, if your soul really was a song. It was very silly.
I am very glad it went over well; I expected it to, but I got a little bit panicked last second. But people were laughing a lot, which was good, and a couple people even asked me about the game which you KNOW I love. The acting teacher called me a ham |D
All in all, I am pleased and now have nothing to worry about for a bit.

Nov. 25th, 2009 02:37 pm1) Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/bands that you've had an obsessive fannish love or interest in at some time in your life.
2) Have your f-list guess your favorite character/member from each item.
3) When someone guesses correctly, strike through the item and put the name of your favorite character next to it.
4) One Guess Per Fandom
( I swear I'm not still into some of these I was young and foolish )

Nov. 24th, 2009 09:05 pmOkay, so I have been looking wherever I can for my Rhythm Heaven game, right? But you'd think long enough in a house with a cleaning-happy mother would turn it up already. Checking under dressers and couches didn't work, so I figured it's likely not going to turn up around the home.
I did hold hope out for today, however, as it was my first shift back at work. (PSdeltashade my theater has Pirate Radio.) I thought, I've brought the games to work for downtime before, it's totally plausible that the thing slipped out of my bag at some point without me noticing. Maybe someone found it and put it somewhere, but it's pretty tiny so maybe not.
Work gave more than enough downtime for me to rifle through the mess of where we stick our bags and look for it. I even pulled out all the crap and organized it to make sure I didn't overlook anything. And guess what? I did find my game! Just... not the right one.
I hadn't even noticed that I'd lost my Fire Emblem game ._. way to go, self. I guess that sort of counts for a happy ending?
Gonna try and finish NaNo today, so I don't gotta worry about it during Thanksgiving prep in Sacramento.
