Once The Dinner Bell Rings

Good news: Die Hard is a great movie. Bad news: I think I was eating better at school than I was before I got home.



( Icons and memes, together again )

Aaaaaaaaaa I've had a bitch of an earache since yesterday and it's driving me nuts aaaaaaaaa

That's all there is to say in the matter

1. Hello there, stranger, what's your aliases? (Common username, nicknames, etc)

UniverseJuice or UniJ in many locations, and groovehoppin or ScottishPanties in a couple places. PearlCagedDemon/ThePCD/PCD in places that I joined a longer time ago, and TeufelChen in one particular location.

2. That was some cool names... Care to tell me your real one?

Because I'm an overly trusting derp, I haven't bothered hiding my name from the internet at all. Hi guys I'm Sarah.


3. That was also cool! Now show of your own awesome nicknaming skills. Who do you call what?

As someone who plays Franky, I have to come up with a lot of really dumb and pointless nicknames |D Foxx as 'Silvers,' Red as 'Petstore,' Caboose as 'Trainbutt,' etc.

4. Okie, what do you think these people should know about you by now?

 That I'm asexual.

5. What do you think they don't know?

Errr, idk, I can never keep track of who I've told what, and I'm pretty open with most all details about myself--like I said, overly trusting derp.

6. Random request time! Set your iTunes/Favorites on YouTube/any music player on Shuffle and then tell me the first five songs which starts to play!

1. The Yellow Monkey: Taiyou ga Moeteiru
2. DJ Earworm: Blame It On The Pop
3. Boom Boom Paradise (Rhythm Heaven OST, Japanese version)
4. Daft Punk: Megamix 1 (DJ Hero ST)
5. Sarah Saltzberg: Woe Is Me (25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee)

Not to mention two tracks of background music from Bowser's Inside Story, and one from Strong World... I need more normal music ><

7. Now list five of your favorite pairings from any kind of fandom! (Manga/anime, games, you name it!)

Jeez, I barely ship anything honestly...
1. Franky x Robin (One Piece)
2. Godot x Mia (Ace Attorney)
uhhhh... I have a few others that I like a little as ideas, but not that I really hardcore ship... >>;;

8. Check up on your Star Sign (the Western one) and tell me what characteristics people born in it is supposed to have that you think you yourself have. (Did that make sense?)

Patient and reliable, Warmhearted and loving, Persistent and determined, Placid and security loving

Ehh, I can see some of those for myself... Patient, placid, likes security... But I'm not exactly persistent, reliable's up for debate... and I think other people would have a better job figuring out if I'm warmhearted or not.

9. What characteristics do you think don't fit you?  

I'm not a motivated person. I don't often make myself do things unless there's a clear deadline for it. I like to let things unfold instead of getting caught up worrying ahead of time... which has proven to be equal parts okay and a terrible idea.

10: Pimping time! Link me to something you've done which you're really proud over! (Fanfiction, picture, AMW, website, just give me the goodies!)

Ehh... My fanfic account is too fresh for me to hate anything on it yet, so here I guess

11. Here's six invitation cards, give them to six real persons you would like to have over at your place!

Oda, Betty White, Kazuki Yao, Cho, Tim Gunn, Robert Downey Jr.

12. And here's six ones to fictional persons~

John Egbert, Tavros Nitram, Tyrion Lannister, Kanji Tatsumi, Franky, Commander Kahn

13. Number 13, eh? Do you believe in such things as bad luck?

Naaaaaaaah, not really.

14. If you do, what do you have to protect yourself from it?

Positive thinking =3

15. And I think that was about it. Now please tag some people you want to know more random things about!

Let's go with yamikonumber7 and aviekokyre

Oh my god you guys it makes me so happy that someone on the TGWTG site is doing Digimon reviews--it took her forever to get around to it, but I am sooooo pleased now that she's started. This show raised me, you guys. I love it so much, and to see someone else geeking over it like me makes me feel so vindicated. I really wish she'd spent more time on character analysis outside of Tai and Matt, because I think there's a lot to look at for all of the Adventure kids.

And finally, we bring this sucker to a close.

Day 28: A song that makes you feel guilty
I second yamikonumber7 's response: What? Lol, no.
Day 28: A song you thought you knew the words to and then it turned out to be something totally different

I thought it was a happy song about quirky, confident people falling in love. Then I found out it was about how attractive people are lonely and desperate for their sad one-night stands. I like my version better.

Day 29: A song from your childhood

In elementary school, we always had a big year-end revue that was often a pain, but hey, you got to be in stage in front of your parents. In fourth grade, so many of us signed up that our grade got split into two groups. Our group did this song, and we kicked ass. The parents cheered extra loud, and even the fifth graders told us we rocked. I kept the cardboard guitar cut-out in my closet for years after.

Day 30: Your favorite song at this time last year

I think I've earned the right at this point to break my "No EBA" rule. It's still my favorite, for reasons entirely separate from Lobster Bucket--my Favorite Song tends to last for years on end, until I get tired of it. But until then, this song will always, always, always make me smile.

( The End )

It is truly ridiculous, the fact that I manage to have drama about my stupid Pokewalker. Though, I guess I don't need to worry about it anymore; the front half of it fell off at some point during my walk home from work without my noticing, and thusly I can assume it is lost forever. With how bad it was glitching out, I don't really mind, but it had my Vulpix in it D=

The latest drama at XI is a real stretch for me. Hajime was already mentally close to the breaking point after being trapped in the past, and I can't have him ignore the fact that the school is suddenly alive. He's having a total breakdown, and I'm just hoping that he'll be able to get through it in one piece. Morrison was having a really harsh time after a certain talk with Derrick, too, and this is not helping him think things through clearly. Franky doesn't really care, but I miss his Dad-logs already. Ugh.

Wow it's been four days since I updated this sucker MY LIFE IS BORING

Day 21: A song you listen to when you're happy


Pretty much all mys songs are happy. This is one that is suitably catchy.

Day 22: A song you listen to when you're sad


Not much to add there. Makes me giggle.

Day 23: A song you want to play at your wedding


Hahahahahahahahahahaha I am so not having a wedding, but uhhh here's an awesome sequence about that afterglow feeling |D

Day 24: A song you want to play at your funeral


Again... not much to add =3

Day 17: A song that you hear often on the radio


I don't listen much to the stations that play stuff like Taylor Swift or Lady Gaga, because KFOG is cool.

( bluh bluh huge list )

Oh god I'm finally getting back into RPing after dragging my feet for ages. I'm having a lot of fun in both games, thank god, and have a ton of tags to do which is both stressful and amazing, because I actually have the brainpower to RESPOND to them! Vampires and Time travel, that's all it takes, I guess.

Yesterday was a weird day at work. The systems were down, so I had to do all the math by hand, and if anyone had a credit card we had to put it through this really oldschool receipt machine. However, three years of experience with adding up prices without a cash register helped me through the task, along with the fact that it was pretty damn slow. We put up the poster for The Room, and... dear god, it's ugly. It's just a close-up of Wisseau, and lord he is just a bizarre looking man. It's amazing. We won't start showing until October, but it's worth it to get people excited. Because gog damn, this movie.

Also, completely bizarre: We're showing Toy Story 3 for a week. Like, a movie that people will have heard of. A movie people will take their kids to. You have no idea how big a deal that is for this theater. I am excited and will sneak in all the time.

I left my sketchbook at work ._. d'oh

Day 13: A song that is a guilty pleasure


Oh god why is this song on my iPod ;-; It's so. So dorky. Oh god. But I can't bring myself to delete it.

Day 14: A song no one would expect you to love
WARNING: NSFW

Ahahahahahaha it's just so hilariously VULGAR I can't get over it. I laugh every time this comes on my 'pod.

( listy )

You know, it's a good thing I got bad news during work today, where being cheery is part of the job. Makes it easier to get over being pissed off at my friend for ditching us again... at least for while I'm focusing on the customers. We've been waiting for weeks to see Inception together as a group, and it's always been her who can't make it for one reason or another. Family on vacation? Sure. Working at her job? Fine. But drawing a comic is not a valid excuse right now. Otherwise, it's just more time to think about how pissed off I am. It's a really miserable feeling, to realize that your friend won't even make the time to see you. I don't have a lot of friends in the first place, and when the ones I do have don't seem to ever want to hang out, that's a real blow to my mood.

Day 08: A song that you know all the words to


Every song I have....? Seriously, I memorize songs reeeeally easy. I think I memorized this one entirely by watching Don't Eat The Mushroom over and over.

Day 09: A song that you can dance to


...and all the other ones, too... bluh. But man I can groove out to this song nonstop. It's just so. Happy. It's impossible not to groove to, if you ask me.4

Day 10: A song that makes you fall asleep



...Does this mean boring songs? Or relaxing songs? Either way, I can't fall asleep to music. Music activates my brain, I have no choice but to focus in on it. If there's music on, I can't focus on reading or writing, let alone sleeping. It's easier if it's BGM or wordless music, though.

My Pokewalker is a loser who cannot keep a battery charged for more than a damn month. Grrr.

Also, the coworker I filled in for today has some serious issues. It is not the first time her alcohol habit has impeded her ability to work; she's called in sick many more times, along with storming out of work, and sometimes even going to get drinks in between the rushes. I'm surprised Ganager hasn't fired her ages ago, but he's been known to be really resistant to the idea of firing his workers; Ckoworker was a prime example, it took a real clusterfuck to finally get him to act on that. Hrmph.

In more entertaining news, Nanager apparently has plans to start showing The Room once a month at our theater. Yeah, that The Room. We'll see how that works out.

Day 06: A song that reminds you of somewhere



Unfortunately, none of the versions of BNL's Best Hits album are available to embed, but pretty much any one of their songs in here will remind me of Florida, where my mother and I occasionally will visit her friend. One visit, I listened to the aforementioned album pretty much nonstop, forever implanting the association. I loved visiting over there, so it's a good thing. Also, who doesn't love a song about Yoko Ono? So long as it's not... actually sung by Yoko.

( List o' songs )

Have you guys heard about that movie, The Kids Are All Right? It's gotten a lot of positive buzz, and it's our most popular movie at the theater right now. Almost everyone comes out looking pleased, but as of today, our fourth day with the movie, there have been two walk-outs who make sure to share their feelings of how terrible and offensive it is.

First was on opening night, a woman who stormed out, growling "I hate that movie," and when we ask her, as she storms past, why she feels that way, she says that the main characters, a lesbian couple, are "sell outs" because one of them made out with the male lead. I guess I can understand that point of view, a little, since it's gotta be pretty annoying to have so little representation of lesbians in Hollywood, only to have it twisted a little, but... the trailer for the movie showed that was going to happen. And I think storming out before seeing how the thing was resolved is a bit hasty.

Then there was today, when two girls came in to see the movie. They commented on how much they liked my coworker's shirt, which was a promotional one for the movie, with the title written on the front. We had spares, so we gave them two for free. About an hour into the movie, they came out, asking for their money back, because the movie was racist (the male lead was rude to the gardener, they said), misogynistic, and the couple appeared to be verbally abusive to each other, played for laughs. I mean, I haven't seen the movie yet, but I think there's a lot of assumptions being put in there. I mean, there's no laugh track, can you really be sure all of the above is played for laughs, and not meant to be commentary? And aren't there lots of couples who trash talk to each other for the fun of it? I wouldn't know, admittedly.

...There's no real point to this above rambling, it's one thirty in the morning and I'm just rehashing the things me and my coworkers were saying.

Moving on to less political things! After spending a bunch of time in Pokemon leveling up a few spare Poke's for the sake of evolving and adding to the 'Dex, it is really refreshing to get back with my main six, and actually feeling like the leveling up process has a point. Also I'm finally en route to Mt. Silver, which contains Pokemon with a decent exp. rate turnover and that feels awesome. Not to mention I caught like four new guys in an hour, that was awesome--I always made a point of trying to only catch the first in an evolutionary chain and evolving them naturally, but after realizing I never actually followed up on that I have started being a little more progressive. It feels good.

IN OTHER WORDS SARAH IS A HUGE DORK HERP DERP DERP 8D

Also I really like my neighbor she is a sweetheart who pays me a ton to look after her cat sometimes but it would be great if she actually emailed me with instructions when she says she is going to. This is for the sake of her gimp cat after all.

Day 04: A song that makes you sad



To be honest, I don't really listen to very many sad songs at all. I don't like feeling sad. I like to feel happy. My iPod is full of songs that either make me feel happy, or make me feel badass, or make me feel like a total geek. Or some combination of the three. Songs make me most sad when I have something sad to associate them with. And no scene has ever made me cry harder than the one I associate this song with.

( 30 Day List )

EDIT: OH HOLY CRAP



POSE AS A TEAM SHIT JUST GOT REEEEEEEAL

Finally got back to watching Doctor Who! Why did I put it off so long. Finished off Rose's arc and Donna's special episode, who makes a hilarious first impression |D And on to Martha I go!


Day 02: Your least favorite song



It's a bit of a silly question, since I just don't listen to songs I don't like. I'm sure there are ones I hate more than this out there, but I wouldn't know, I either haven't heard them or have pushed them out of my memory banks due to repression or having better things to use my memory on. Anyway, I just hate this one because it once got stuck in my head for like an entire shift at work and would not leave, and when lyrics that repetitive and inane get stuck in your head, ooh you are guaranteed for a bad time. Just thinking about it, I need to make an effort to keep it from getting stuck in there. Ugh.
