I just realised I haven't had dinner yet.
So, um, sorry about that hopelessly vague previous entry. This has been a long-running bit of drama, and now that we're so close to a potential end, I am more anxious than usual. I've tried to post about it before, but I've never actually managed to put an entry up. Maybe once a verdict comes down.
TODAY'S ENTRY features good things. FIRST: On Sunday, I was put in charge of decorating cupcakes! Which I always enjoy doing. We do seven packs of small cupcakes, which you can really go to town on, and then jumbo cupcakes, which can be a bit more tricky, but are still fun. And I made sixteen jumbos and three seven packs, and they got so many compliments. ("These cupcakes are badass" was probably my favourite, haha. Badass cupcakes, wtf.) eeee! And all sixteen jumbos were gone by the time I waltzed into work today – so less than 48 hours for them to fly off (which is pretty excellent). One of them never even made it to the floor. One of my coworkers walked past and was like, ohmygosh, that one is adorable and I must have it, so we left it on the back table and she bought it after she got out. The seven packs have moved slower – the Spiderman one sold, but then some jerkass dropped my space / moon and stars one!! I was able to fix it back up, since we still have some of the blue I'd custom mixed, but, man! I was so sad! But someone else ordered a cake with the same pattern as I'd put on another of them, which, yay. (It is a supercute pattern that only I do, and I like to make it on everything.)
Also, the pie I made is delicious. If you were wondering. And I am going blueberry picking (for the second time this month) tomorrow! So maybe I will make another pie once this one is gone! AND. One of my coworkers and I are engaged in a cookie trade-off, which is fun. I made her cookies as thanks for her staying late so many times to help me through the madness we've been seeing in the store lately, and now she is making me cookies for helping her out with some really tricky cake decorating and colour mixing. So. That'll probably keep going, just 'cause it's fun.
Also it is summerfest in Vana'diel yessssssssss video game world summer festivals you are the best thing.
AND. Since Mom's been out of town and remains out of town, I've been borrowing the Honda. Aaand, with reports of Masterpiece Rodimus showing up in Toys "R" Us stores, well… I knew it was silly, since we don't see store exclusives half the time, and Grimlock didn't turn up until months after release (and then I couldn't afford him, much to my sobbing dismay), but I had to check. Good thing I did, 'cause there were only two of him. But now he is mine! X3 Yaaay, Roddy! He is super pretty. I cannot wait to bust him out of his plastic and cardboard prison. (Just as soon as I get this entry up, ohohoho.)
But for now, oh, look! Distractions! Five question meme, questions from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mininise28 and naboru_narluin
- Comment with "Hit me!"
- I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you.
- Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
- Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people.
mininise28's first.
1) Who's your favorite TF? =3
….. *scream* Too hard! Dx Um. Um. Um. Okay, um. I've been trying to come up with an answer to this question for freaking years, and I'm still not there (I am certain it is an Autobot or a Maximal, at least), but here is something else, instead? Based solely off alternate modes, my favourite Autobot is Prowl! Because he is a police car and, man, police cars are great. So pretty! (I really, really like emergency vehicles and the like.) And there are other police cars and emergency vehicles and all, but Prowl showed up first, so he got the initial OMG ♥ _ ♥ (Well, him or maybe Mirage, who I never really thought too much of in terms of pretty car until they released his Alternators version, which OKAY IT'S A DARK BLUE FORD GT WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME. As much as we laugh at Jeremy Clarkson for licking his, I also cannot blame him in the slightest holy shit they are beautiful cars. Have you ever seen one in real life? NO? THEN DON'T YOU JUDGE ME. … and if you have seen one in real life and disagree with me, then you are wrong. So there. XD)
2) You are granted one wish, what do you wish for?
Hmm. I would wish for the idiots in charge of the world to either go away and let other people take over or for them to get their damn heads out of their asses and stop pointing fingers and actually work on making this a better planet for everyone. I mean, of course, some things we as humans will probably never agree on (religious ideals, for example), but wouldn't it be nice if we could at least work together on things, rather than feeling we have to resort to violence, or just screaming and blaming it on everything and everyone else or just ignoring the problem because you don't think it affects you? /cliché answer
… barring that, I would wish for a body that is not always going out of its way to make my existence miserable (YES, BRAIN, THAT WOULD INCLUDE YOU).
3) What's the most expensive item you ever bought & was it worth it?
The single most expensive item I've ever bought was my laptop (this one I am using right now!). Because my old one died at a completely godawful time, I sort of had to rush to pick this one out, so if I had to do it again, I'd probably end up with something different (probably custom), but it was definitely worth it. Despite how much crap I give it sometimes, it is a good machine. (I have paid more for other things, but my laptop is the singular most expensive item I own.)
4) If you could travel to anywhere in outer space, where would you go?
eeeee outer space you have hit upon my secret obsession. "Everywhere" is not a legit answer, is it? Hmmm… oooh, I would love to see a nebula. But I don't know which because, of course, since all our images of them are so far out of date, there's no telling which (if any) of them are even still around! But, nebula! SO AWESOME. Though it'd also be fun to go to the moon (so creative…). But, from the moon I could look back and see Earth! And that would be pretty awesome. Just, uh. Hopefully it is not secretly full of monsters ala FFVIII or Decepticons ala Dark of the Moon… friggin' moon… (Though it'd also be fun to observe a black hole, or at least the stuff around one. My brother got to take a class devoted entirely to black holes. RAGING ENVY.)
5) If you could only eat one food for a month, what would it be?
I am going to assume it is one food, the same food, for a month, rather than, say, "sandwiches, because the contents of sandwiches can be rearranged." And the answer is my mom's spicy peanut noodles (the epic ones, with all sorts of awesome vegetables and maybe some meat, not the lazy ones that I make sometimes). homg. I am pretty sure I could not actually ever get sick of those things. I could eat them cold for breakfast and snacking, and warm for dinner! And they would be delicious.
Unless we are talking, like, one specific food item, in which case, erm. Apples.
… hi my name is jecca and i overthink simple questions.
And nownaboru_narluin's.
1. If you were a Transformer, what alt-mode would you have? ;)
… The Ragnarok is probably off-limits, since that wasnaboru_narluin's brilliant idea and I would only be stealing it. Hmm. Perhaps a sport bike of some sort?
2. Do you ship Transformers? If so, what is your OTP, if not, what are your favourite Characters, one Autobot, and one Decepticon. :)
I do ship Transformers! I am not actually sure if I have an OTP or not, though? I do usually tend to like the canon pairings, for whatever reason (does Ironhide/Chromia get much of anything in the way of development in G1? No! Do I love it, anyway? Yes!), but there definitely a lot of other things that I ship. And there are definitely a few things I really, really don't like (though I don't much care if other people do like them). OOH WAIT NO. Blackarachnia and Silverbolt from Beast Wars. *_* So awesome and adorable. Aside from those, though, nothing really comes immediately to mind as OTP-level shipping. (I do also have a irrational and extreme fondness for Bluestreak/Sunstreaker, though.)
3. What do you think about coffee?
I love the smell of coffee. I love the taste of coffee-flavoured things! But the drink itself I find to be intolerable. Go figure.
4. What's your favourite cake?
The one in front of me! haha. Really, though? When I was in Mexico a few years ago, we went to this one restaurant where they served us … I dunno, it was a rich, heavy cake. The bottom layer was chocolate, the top layer was white, and it had fresh strawberry filling and omg it was sooo delicious. (Though my mother makes an amazing maple cake…)
But then the only cake I ever actually get cravings for is carrot cake, so maybe that wins, instead.
5. Quick, first kink of yours that comes to mind is...?
Um. Er. Argh? I'm going to go more for the standard kinkmeme use of simply referring to something that strikes my fancy rather than anything sexual, because, uh… ??? Jecca + sexual things does not compute. (She's one of those really, really weird people who completely skips 9/10 of all sex scenes and only barely skims the one remaining because she's feeling lazy and it's too much work to scroll around trying to find where the plot resumes.) That said, Rule 63 totally fascinates me, but doesn't really apply so super well to all my fandoms (hi, Transformers). AND ALSO FAMILIAL RELATIONSHIPS (ACTUALLY RELATED OR NOT IT DOESN'T MATTER) IS, LIKE, a super huge thing with me. omg. (Which is probably a large part of why I loved FFXIII so damn much, and why I keep watching Supernatural even though most of the last season had me going "wtf?!?" an awful lot. I could come up with a lot of examples for this one, actually.)
I am thinking I might go see Captain America. Has anyone seen it (probably a stupid question)? Will I suffer horribly if I opt to see it in 2D, 'cause it costs less and I don't need to wear glasses over my glasses? Or would it be better to do the 3D?

2. You are granted the ability to completely seal your memory of any one video game, any one movie/television series, or one any book, so that you can re-experience it new. What do you pick, and why? (And, don't worry, your old memories will come back once you finish it.)
3. Oh, no! The Earth is exploding! Fortunately, you have your own spacecraft. Unfortunately, it doesn't have much room. You can only bring 7 items (excepting food, water, clothing). What do you pack?
4. If the money fairy suddenly came down and granted you one million dollars, what would you do with it?
5. What is your favourite cookie? (Unless that was part of your answer for question 1, in which case, Who is your favourite Transformer character and why do you like them so much, if you even know? OR HELL ANSWER BOTH I DON'T CARE.)

But here is goes a month later (9_9);
1- Breakfast. ALWAYS!"I love the eggs over easy, some hash browns (the patti ones and crispy please!) some slices of awesome cheese from VT, maybe some toast or a bagel with cream cheese. For a drink OJ if it didnt give me terrible acid >_< or soda for my sugary needs ;) Oh and add a stack of butter milk pancakes with different flavored syrup since somehow I wont be full XD
2-Chrono Trigger. It's my fave game of all time. To not know the outcome, or the endings. To cry when Chrono dies or do everything in my power to save magus, the shock of his past, seeing how your choices affect the future and being scared/anxious in the scene with luccas mom, while finally being terrified by Lavos o_o)!
3-hum... a computer eh... a ebook reader with tons of books and a hard drive with more and anime (although by this point the world may have already exploded). Lets see emulators and games on the comp but thats still one item hum...oh! pictures if people I know and places so thats 4? I use the other items for art supplies! yea.. moving on =p
4- Easy: house, pay off my loans and help out friends a bit while keeping some money to live off cause I dont want to work in my remaining 3 years to finish the PhD
5-chocolate chip / sugar cookie !! ok choco goes first but sugar cookie is only 1% less and TF dinobot of course =p
