My house was just burst into by the boys in blue, looking for the previous tenant who has a felony charge for aggravated assault out. I like to think it's because he beat the old lady next door (She died, said the neighbour lady, in a hushed tone) to death, then hid the body in our attic.
Nothing exciting save for my manuscript really happened here. Oh, well I started a new fanfic which is an AU where Ginny Weasley is sorted into Slytherin her first year and deals with the prejudices against the house, and dispelling the notion that all Slytherins are "evil" at age 11. So that's kinda cool I guess.
Oh light of my heart, love of my life, I am so pleased you are back on the internet. <3
I am pleased to be back! I got psychoanalyzed by my family (which was NOT FUN) and while I very much dislike being back at work it is nice to be back among people who understand me! XD
Nothing too exciting here either. Played MGS4, went through more of Chrono Trigger (I suddenly have a thing for Queen Zeal), ranted about a supposed top 20 overlooked game babes list that included Rydia and Jill Valentine, and went on a fanart hunting spree. That spree included Chrono Trigger/Cross, Shadow Hearts, and Arc the Lad.
Did some major sewing of half my thingie that goes on top of my costume, even though I can't get my mom to sit down and work on the winglets. Saw Hellboy 2, ran into a friend from high school and had an Awkward Conversation, and probably had a Porn Rant somewhere in the middle.
Oh, and I'll prolly send an email catching you up on phoenixmonthly's stuff.
My flist was actually pretty dead comparatively while you were gone. THE INTERNET CRASHES AND BURNS WHEN YOU'RE NOT AROUND!! XD
I started FFV Advance last weekend and I gotta say, the music in that game is A++! Oh yeah and it's fun to play too ^_^ SQUARE'S GOT ITS BUTZ ALL OVER MY DS.
IT'S ACTUALLY BECAUSE I POST A LOT OF CRAP. HAHA. CRAP F-LIST SPAMMING.
On an unrelated note it seems that I have actually lost typing skills while gone! I wrote "SMAPPING" instead of "SPAMMING" at first. Wow, self!
I LOVE FFV ADVANCE. I am so close to beating it! Did you know there are 4 new classes? I have three of them (you can't get the last one until you beat the game). They are pretty useless! But really neat looking, and that's all that matters!!
I just had my jury duty adventures, which were more exciting for the prospect of what might have happened (being chosen to serve in a first-degree murder trial) than what actually did happen (watching the jury selection without ever being called into the box). Thrilling stuff. ;)
I managed to dodge jury duty twice in college because I was summoned by New York but lived in OH for college. Apparently that is legit! WHO KNEW.
One thing I'll say about California: you guys have a very bizarre climate! (Or bizarre to an Eastern Yank like me.) I've never been anywhere where there are 35-degree temperature swings in a single day. Amazing!
SEV! Nothing at all of interest has happened to me except I read a really fascinating book about tornadoes. Also, I worked a lot and I hate my boss with the fire of a thousand suns because I sincerely believe she is trying to emotionally abuse me into leaving by making snide comments about the stress attacks I used to get at my job, you know, when the job was really new, even though I never really stress anymore (or if I do I HIDE IT and don't tell those gossipy bitches anything!)
THEY WANT TO GET RID OF ME AND TAKE AWAY MY RAISE. THE WHORES. *clings to measly 25 cent raise*
Otherwise, that is all! Boring drama although I have managed to get myself into an exciting tizzy about the new header policy, which I will e-mail you about whenever you're ready to receive more e-mail (like right now, it would probably be lost...FOREVER.)
Your job is so terrible! It really makes me want to walk into my Target and destroy things! Although that would probably just cause more trouble for the poor employees rather than echoing up the command chain like I'd like to dream. Ah, well.
Ah, our header policy! I think about that every Monday, when I write "FFP" on my hand in the morning to remember to do it at night (shut up... I have no short-term memory) and despair about how nice it would be to have a nice header policy and be able to ignore FFVII fic. Then I of course come to work Tuesday and my brain goes dead.
Anyway, feel free to email whatever/whenever -- by this evening I will have sorted through the dreaded Inbox!
My mum stole my money again, but my dad has been away for a week and we've all been much happier, probably in consequence. I'm getting shiny new books whenever the postman brings them, which makes me happy. I finished the Digital Devil Saga games and they are freaking awesome. I'm now playing Dirge of Cerberus and liking it more than I expected to.
I think that was about it. Oh, and I've been reading the Anne of Green Gables books, and I am saddened about Anne growing up.
I'm sorry about your money! But I saw on a post (before I gave up) that someone sent you Kushiel. It was actually not me! But I am excited to see your thoughts on it. I think the book has some really neat strengths and a few glaring weaknesses/flaws, and I'm really excited to see what you think of it!
I kind of suck at movies. Especially recent ones. Jeff and I troll the library for free flicks, which means we often watch terrible crap like Harold and Kumar. In fact, there's a rec: NEVER WATCH THAT MOVIE.
Doing well enough here, I guess. Like I told syvia, I've been having trouble balancing my free time lately. That tends to happen when new FFT games come out. *cough* But I'm working on it.
*rawr* You missed my 18th birthday. I was expecting a neatly-wrapped stack of pr0nz and internet-cupcakes with crudely-drawn penises made of icing, but NOOOOOOOO, somebody has to go off to California and have a LIFE!
P.S. How was your trip, anyway? OMGisn'tCaliforniafuckingamazing?!!11

Looking forward to your California stories! What did you think of my fine home state? Hope the smoke wasn't too bad up your way...

THEY GAVE ME AN EMERGENCY PAY KIT AND IT'S GOT NO MONEY IN IT YET.
I CALLED THEM AND THE PHONE KEEPS RINGING.
I AM ABOUT TO GO DOWN THERE AND CHOKE SOME INCOMPETENT BITCHES.
I DON'T CARE IF THIS IS THE BEST WAREHOUSE JOB I HAVE HAD. IF I DON'T GET MY MONEY BY WEDNESDAY I FUCKING QUIT.
