Welcome one and all!

What you'll see in this journal is:

• Fangirl ramblings about my latest obsessions, ie Gundam 00 S2, and Gundam SEED mostly


• Randomness and crack, like picture stories and my Gunpla photos


• Fanfiction, usually Mwu x Murrue, for 30_kisses and 30_memories, and other cracky fics


• Occasional fanart


• Memes stolen from ppl


• RL stuff, those will be friendlocked usually, so random people don't have to read my complaints about life XD


• But other than the RL stuff, all the posts will be public, 'cause I believe in the sharing and spreading of crack and obsession!

If you want, feel free to friend me, I usually friend back, well, if you talk to me that is, I feel weird friending back someone who randomly friends me without saying anything though.

As requested, I'm putting up an index sort of thing for the Gundam 00 comics and crack fanart I've drawn (and posted to gundam00 ). I'll update this entry as I draw more madness XD

( Comics )
( Picture Stories )

I went and watched Evangelion 2.0 today (like 3 hours ago). I didn't really like Eva (esp towards the end), but the movie was actually pretty good. I didn't get to see Eva 1.0 (which I heard was compilation+some new parts), but 2.0 changed pretty much everything. A lot of new scenes are added, and plot elements are changed. And plot elements are made slightly clearer I think. But the biggest change I think is that Rei got more emotions and seems a lot more human. Asuka is also slightly nicer, and there's more interaction between her and Rei. It's also made more clearer that both of them like Shinji, and Shinji cares for both of them more.

Asuka is less emo, this one didn't go into her backstory much and have her angst about her mother too much. She's just always been alone, and did everything alone, and is used to being lonely. But being with Shinji and Misato and the others made her realize that being with others isn't so bad, that she doesn't want to be alone after all. I think I can relate to her very well >__< She's more.. open, I think, at least being able to admit that to herself.

Shinji is still emo and has the dad complex, but he's less emo in the movie, at least being able to open up somewhat to Asuka and Rei.

Also, new girl Mari is awesome in a kickass kind of way XD though her story (background etc) is still yet to be revealed. Though it's been so long since I've watched Eva that I don't really remember what's supposed to happen at this timeline XD

The biggest improvement though, is the animation quality. Picture quality is very HD and clean and shiny (including the CGed parts, which weren't that jarring), and animation is fluid and awesome. There are still disturbing scenes, but I found it interesting that they play cheerful happy music when those scenes happen...

I've created rose_designs for my graphics stuff, mostly gonna be wallpapers and whatever small number of icons I make XD

I have a question about the wallpapers though, I usually create 7 different resolutions for each wallpaper I make, I already have a (shared) site that I upload them to. So should I just link to my site to get other people to download the different resolutions, or re-upload them to LJ (photobucket resizes images that are too big)? 'cause I think some people don't like going to strange/new sites they've never been to XD and I don't want to just direct-link to the images I've uploaded to my site..

so it'll be like

[Thumbnail]
For more resolutions, go to [link]

where [link] will take you to the download page on the other site

OR

[Thumbnail]
[1280x960][1280x800] etc

and have each link to the LJ picture

Dammit now I want to spend money >___<

Edit: nvm, the only thing from the sale list I'd want would be this Strike, but it's too expensive and I don't really want it badly... I'll just ask my friend who's going to HK to buy gunpla for me XD

I'm already wanting a Nintendo DS so I can play Phantasy Star 0 and Scribblenauts (and Phoenix Wright XD)....

And Rightstuf will probably have their Christmas sale too, which will make me want to buy more stuff..... X.x

Oh look, K-On Nendoroid!! >___

I've been watching G Gundam, and it is awesome, but in a "it's so terrible and weird that it's good" kind of way. Instead of about war and effects of war that Gundam is generally about, G Gundam is more like a shounen series, but with GUNDAMS!

Also, I've been working on a wallpaper using the cover of Feldt's VA CD, 'cause she looks so cute in that picture ^^ For the background, I was thinking of this scan that has a field of yellow flowers, some ruins of mecha, and the foreground is that flower in the glass cylinder thing Feldt gave to Setsuna... I can think of vaguely what the scan looks like, and I swore I had it, but I can't find it now!! ;___; Does anyone know (from that vague description >__< ) where the scan is from? I *think* it's from the Complete Best CD/DVDs, but I can't be sure.. help?

The reason I haven't posted in days or read any flist entries lately is because I've been spending the weekend pretty much sleeping and sitting on the couch vegging. I've caught whatever it is that's going around (or one of the things), and had to skip class (and gave up on one assignment, blame me for not starting it early enough)... X.x

I'm still coughing like mad (though it dies when I sleep at least), and my mouth always feels dry even though I drink like 3 liters of water a day... and get dizzy...

Had an interview yesterday morning after my 3-day hibernation, and my head was spinning while the guy talked.. and then he asked me these technical algorithm questions and I was just like "uh....... I ... don't know" while my brain refused to work X.x ........

I feel slightly less dizzy now. I'm not sure if I've slept too much or not enough... but I've got 3 midterms next week (though I'm not too worried about 2 of them) I hope I get well enough by them to write.... ;____;

\o/ Inuyasha the Final Act!!! Saw it!

Wow, I need to rewatch the first series XD This ep went right in and started where they left off (not counting the fillers).. and went quite fast, not wasting a moment to recap or anything. I vaguely remember stuff. At least I remember all the characters, though some of Naraku's newer spawns I forgotten their backstories XD I did read the manga after the anime ended a bit, but it's been years and I only remember vague things and certain chapters (I am looking forward to seeing some chapters getting animated, like Kagura's arc, Kikyou's arc, Sesshoumaru's arc )

I really want to draw Inuyasha group pic to celebrate, but can't seem to find time... or rather, the motivation... I need to do more school work, before I fail my midterms ;__; I haven't been paying attention in 2 of my classes, so I need to read notes and understand... ahhhhhhhh!!! But PSO is so tempting.... FOnewearl at level 78 now, 2 more levels until ultimate!!

Looking forward to Kobato! The latest FMA Brotherhood ep has rather disturbing images..... >__<

Oh yeah, my figures from jukebox_hero arrived. Now I have Setsuna and Lockon, as well as the Lockon PPP with Haro <3333 And Miku Nendoroid <33 (I need the Yuki Nendoroid >__< )

I'm getting a shelf in two weeks, which means I'll have place to put my origami stuff and my Gunpla and figures!!

Haha, Tari posted about her first Gunpla experience, and it made me remember mine XD

OMG NEW INUYASHA SERIES OCT 2009!!!!!!!!!

Hurray!!!! Inuyasha was like my first real anime obsession (well, there was Sailor Moon when I was 10, and Cardcaptor Sakura when I was 12... but this really lead me into Otaku-dom), and I'm so happy the rest of the series is getting animated after 5 years!!!

Also in the Fall lineup I need to see, is Kobato.

Oh yeah, Tomino press conference

So my vacation ends... School starts on Monday.. I haven't touched my work term report which is due on the 22nd X.x ....

My computer told me today that it's running out of disk space... there was only 200MB left XD .. luckily, I had about 2GB in the recycle bin, so once I cleared that out, and some random stuff, including eps of anime I've already seen, I now have 2.7GB free X.x ...

Trying to figure out where the space went XD Is there a way to see how much space went where automatically without me having to go through folders? I have 14GB of anime (mostly G00 really), about 7GB of anime scans and misc dled pics, 14GB of music, 3.7GB of my art projects (note to self: copy that onto a disk!! in case computer dies), and 20GB of photos! (need to somehow get backup to that as well...)

I have 100GB total, where did the other 40GB go? XDD

I really need an external... and some way to back up data (lol, my folders are soooo messy)... DVDs too small, at 4.2GB each, it'll take at least 10 to back up the really important stuff.....

oh yeah, here's a question for whoever's interested: What colour is summer to you? I already have green for spring, and blue for winter. Not sure if I should go with red for summer (flowers, roses etc), or yellow (sun, sunflowers, daisies). I'd have orange + (red or yellow, depends on which is used for summer) for fall.

It's 09.09.09 at 09:09 (pm, if you use 12h clock XD)!

9 is my lucky number =D

Got back from trip to NYC last night at 1am DX .. I just woke up XD

Might right a report thing and put up photos later when I'm not lazy. Meanwhile, going to catch up on messages and FL entries XD

Waaahhh Romantic desu!! A couple getting married under the giant Gundam ♥ ♥ (and lol, the guy is cosplaying as Amuro XD)

I wonder if they had Gundam-shaped cake XD

Edit: More photos on this blog

Paid my tuition for next term... there goes all my earnings from the summer (and even had to go into my savings) X.x .... The tuition itself is bad enough, but then they had to jack it up with a million fees... X.x

Wahhh where did all my money go?! I started this term with more money than I have now ;__; It all went into taxes, stupid rent (which my dad had paid up until this term ^^;; ), tuition, living expenses and anime merchandise + DVDs + Anime North..... And the scholarship I got hasn't shown up on my account yet... so hopefully when it does I can get some money back.

And my dad wants me to pay rent again next term, but I has no income next term!! Dx I didn't want to do tutoring 'cause I needed time to do my own school stuff (and it'd only be enough for 1.5 month rent anyway).... although, maybe I should've signed up, 'cause courses next term isn't too bad, I hope. Only one course with project work, I think.

I'm not really looking forward to school, I probably forgot how to study XD And sad that I'm not gonna be earning money. But in a way, I'm kinda glad I'm going back, because I'm kind of sick of working, at least at this job with 0 time flexibility. I mean yeah I have lots of time after work, but waking up early and driving an hour (in total) every day is no fun.. and it's kinda boring at work.. and nobody to talk to (not that I have too many people to talk to at school either, but..).

They all say that when you're in school, you always wonder "when is it gonna end?!?" and when you're out of it you want to go back XD I haven't really thought about what to do after school.. right now, I'm just aiming for that goal of "graduation". But then what? Get a job, and? What if you don't like the job? Daaahhh too scary to think about >___<

Just 2 more days left, well, 1.6. Why is it only 10:30?!? I wanna go home and watch anime and play PSO and sleeeeeeeeep....... (Dahh caught up with Pandora Hearts just as it's getting good, and now have to wait.. meanwhile, will catch up on some other series)

Finally got around to doing this.

For ratiosu, after our conversation on her journal here, fangirling over Mamo and Mizushima's conversation at the Gundam Big Expo XD

Mizushima: "You never know, we might make you a small Setsuna to sit on your shoulder."

Mamo: "LOL!!! And then if he begins to annoy you, you can go 'I don't need you.'" *pretends to put mini-Setsuna in his pocket.


So I drew Setsu-chan ^^

Lol, wow.... just wow... first of all, I can't believe such an easy question was for $50000, and second of all, that's like a grade-school question! It's sad that the host had to work her through it... isn't that kinda cheating? Well, it's for charity, but still... X.x what has our world come to....
