Was I thinking too much, or not enough? Either way, the ridiculously high levels of emo that had started to take over have been driven back out. Victory!

I really do hate it when that happens. Someday I will figure out what triggers it, and then I will not have to deal with it anymore. (And someday we will all have flying unicorns. gaaah)


More GT may finally be coming around! (Yes, that appears to have become its working title, if only because I am the worst person in the world at titling things.) There also appears to be a very odd off-shoot of it crawling around in my head. We're blaming Aniko (again) for that branch, but it was my own Brain that decided the two were connected, so, eh. This is quickly turning into a very bizarre alternate universe. ... In which other alternate universe versions of some of the characters in it have cameos. (No, really. I've already written some of it and it is... bizarre.)

Can I chalk this up to sleep deprivation? I've got about six hours for the last three or four days and it has to be affecting me by this point.

I spend about eight hours out of the house on Wednesdays. Two three-hour classes with only fifteen minutes between them and a forty minute commute in either direction.

About ten minutes after I'd left the driveway, and for no readily apparent reason, I am assaulted by every song in that whole musical episode.

I turned on the radio. I hummed along with the radio. I tried to daydream. I tried to compose insults to fling at the car in front of me that decided to sit through three green lights and make me late for class.


... Seven hours later it is ALL still there and I am finding, to my growing horror, that I have started to hum some of it. I could not get home soon enough.

So now I'm rewatching most all of it in an attempt to drive it back out, since nothing else is working.



The trauma this surely inflicted on me no doubt did not help the situation in English class.

This should have been anticipated. )


... *has The Daily Show on in the background* ...I want a Death Vendetta Car. (Even if I have to settle for one that is only driven by a chimpanzee.)
I inflicted the Silent Hill / Original Character story on someone, and I think it went over fairly well. Possibly I can rest easier now, knowing I have at least shared the insanity, if not disposed of it. Really it'd be boring without it.

Talking. )


Anyway, beta-reading may have been a false alarm, as I've not heard back since sending a reply, but knowing FF.net, it may just be that it hasn't gotten through yet. I HATE YOU TOO, FF.NET! Whatever.

I need something to do. ARG.

And no, you stupid arachnids, going through my room and systematically eradicating every last one of you doesn't count!


*edits IM text and annoys everyone*



Completely off-topic now, but, haha, wow. Is that for real? If Wheeljack were human, he would do things like that, I think... XD Nifty idea and all, but... And those headlights are kind of a giant SHOOT HERE.


Had a storm last night. Snow and ice. Finally! \o.o/


Edit:
And the eternal question. Do I repaint this guy as Comics Ratchet or as Cartoon Ratchet? Oh, dilemma.

The other question is what to do with this Ricochet, now that I've stolen his head and replaced it with Rollbar's. Also, I need to finish buying paint.

There is NO "A" IN TOMORROW.

TOMORROW!

T - O - M - O - R - R - O - W


WHY MUST EVERYONE EVER AND ALWAYS MISSPELL THAT POOR WORD WHAT DID TOMORROW EVER DO TO YOU?! THE ANSWER IS NOTHING BECAUSE TOMORROW IS NEVER HERE SO LEAVE IT ALONE YOU BULLY.



...Yes, let's all be sane now. There is a spider in my room. Possibly it is dead, but I really rather doubt it. I woke up at Entirely Too Early this morning and was unable to get back to sleep initially, so I tried rolling over and AAHG SPIDER ON THE WALL (sometimes I wish my spider-sense was a tad less literal). We had a stare off and then it tried to crawl back below the bed so I dropped a book on it. ...Now I want the book back but am afraid to reach down and get it. *stares mournfully*

I mean, what if the spider is down there and it attacks me or gets on me or something? Yes I realize that this makes no sense but what part of phobias ever does?


Warning: female-body-talk. )



Right, and, the lamp on my dresser is glitchy at the best of times. The outlet is kind of wonky or something. ...So, uh, whenever I approach my dresser, the light flickers and makes a noise that kind of resembles static. It's kind of unnerving.


Oh, uh, something remotely sane. I think I've finally finished editing my Original Character (of a friend) VS. Silent Hill thing, so I'm going to make her read it next time I see her, since she at least liked the opening and because that way she can tell me if there are any glaring instances of out-of-character behavior (also, Okame's creator agrees with me that sending her to SH is practically canon). ...I love how I say I'm going to talk about something sane and proceed to discuss Silent Hill. No idea what I'll do with it once she's finished it. Not gonna post it on FF.net because it would probably make very little sense without any sort of explanation on the character.


I did not sleep well last night and am drugged up on pain killers. Can you tell?

Also the internet at my house is being ridiculously flaky. STOP DYING ON ME, YOU BRAT.
It's 6 am and I've yet to go to bed because I've been up all night writing an insane little story.

Hopefully, she doesn't mind me doing this to her original character.


Me, I'm trying to figure out how I went from Transformers to Doctor Who to Silent Hill to Major Original Universe #3 to MOU3 and Silent Hill all in under five minutes. Obviously shampoo does incredibly strange things to my brain, because this stuff always happens in the shower.

...I'm also still trying to figure out why I'm writing it. Oh, I am sorry, 'Taru. If it makes you feel better, I'm sure Jade is going to murder me for this. Hopefully tomorrow I will talk to your creator and she'll tell me to stop this (despite having forfeited writing claims on you to me). Because I will listen to her if she does. (For all the good stopping here will do, seeing as how I'm, you know, done with it already. Erm.)

That all said, I totally fail at writing Silent Hill-esque things. Also, this thing is distressingly similar to SH2 in places, but I'm not sure how else I could have done this. I mean... arg. I didn't even realize it until I was writing the last scene. *facepalm*
Back from NYC. Had fun, mostly. I... have personal space issues so, the way people in cities (and New York has always been the worst, in my experiences) have absolutely no concept of where they are in relation to anything else really gets to me after the nine-hundredth elbow in the face or what-have-you.... Snappy today because of it.

Didn't do much while over there )

...Tired. Was going to finish checking Friends List and make a longer entry and such, but only got through two entries, and am drained. I think I'm just going to bed instead.

LJ's working again, hurrah. No work today, but had an icky weekend and I'm lagging behind a bit on NaNo. I'm blaming my brain. Had a bit of a conversation with it earlier this morning, actually. Yes, yes, I talk to my brain. I do not regard my brain as part of my sane self and disown it on almost a daily basis. I realize this may, in fact, be rather odd.

So, yes, as I said, I talked to the Brain today.

It was confused. )

I really have no idea what caused that idiocy. Stupid brain.


Edit:
Then on Sunday I thought it was Monday, and then on Thursday I thought it was Monday again. There's something very wrong with my internal calendar.
/edit

This song always - always - makes me feel better, no matter what. It's not necessarily a happy song, but I think it's kind of hopeful, and I ... really just love it (just in case my using it for most all the labels on this journal didn't make that obvious enough). It's my inspiration-for-living song, or something. I really don't know why.


Also, Mike is over here playing Ecco: Defender of the Future. He's fighting the crocodile. My nerves are effectively KO'd, and sanity might not be coming back. In so many ways, this game is worse than Silent Hill.
About a year ago (maybe more like nine months), I loaned my Abnormal Psych textbook to a friend. It was brand new and had cost me several hundred dollars, and the school had offered me three dollars for it at the end of the semester, so I kept it. She likes psychology and seemed interested in the book, so I let her borrow it "for a few months." I told her I wanted it back by the end of summer.

...yyyyeah.

Asked Mom to remind her of that when she went to see her about some Girl Scouting stuff, but I don't know that she did, or that the girl will remember.

...Seriously, this wouldn't be a problem, but I want to use it for a project for class and I kind of need it to use it.




Self:
You nitwit. How many times has that kid asked you for the link to this fic? There. Now you can't keep forgetting the title or whatever. Moron.

(...And didn't we say something about stopping with the updating at 1 am? Find a better time to use the computer.)



Also, arg, brain. The more I watch clips of Top Gear on youTube, the more I become convinced that seeing someone cross it with Transformers would be, like, the best thing ever. Awesome car people + awesome cars/robots = CAN YOU POSSIBLY GO WRONG? (Other than in grossly out-of-character ways, I mean.)

I love remembering at, you know, midnight that I still need to shoot yet another roll of film because I'm going into the darkroom in the morning to develop said film!

Whoops! Guess I'll be busy, come the dawn.


Plot bunny that will not die? At least pick a character to do this to so I can get it over with. Yes, okay, Silverbolt would work (we could even base it during the time between the end of Endgame Part 2 and the end of Endgame Part 3!). (Oh, oh, and we could use one of the Blackarachnia repaints, and... I cannot believe I am allowing this train of thought.)

Rodimus would probably work, too, (okay, anyone with guilt issues and/or inner angst would) but I don't know what'd happen with him. (Depth Charge could work, too... hmm.)


Speaking of poor BW 'Bolt, I have still got that second toy. If I don't get rid of it soon, I fear I'll become attached to it and then be unable to part with it.



... SILENT HILL 3, STOP MOCKING ME. I WILL PUT YOU IN AND PLAY YOU SOMEDAY, I SWEAR. Please don't come and get me.



Seven days to NaNo. It's like a countdown to Doomsday or something.
The good news? The local We "B" Toys has started carrying the Classics line.

The bad news? They're currently only carrying the Voyager class. This would be all well and good if I actually wanted Optimus Prime.


ARG. WHERE ARE MY PRETTY DELUXE-SIZED ROBOTS? ...Also, why did they never even start carrying Alternators? Those weren't a Target-only thing, I'm sure.

...Obviously it is time to either move to a new state or to make fast friends with the Hasbro website (and possibly eBay).


(They also had the 20th Anniversary Prime but, again, I don't want Prime and I'm not about to pay eighty dollars for one toy.)




On a completely unrelated subject, I just cannot bring myself to start playing SH3.



Brain, I am begging you, stop trying to cross Silent Hill and Transformers. I don't care HOW well you think a few characters could be placed there. STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT NOW. NO.

ALSO, ESPECIALLY SILVERBOLT. HE HAS ENOUGH ANGST BY THE END OF BEAST MACHINES. NO.




...How did I misplace my entire screencaps folder? >_>

Over dinner tonight, my parents started discussing the Pope's remarks about Islam and how out of line it was. The reactions apparently only help prove the point (death threats again?), but then most people wouldn't take any of that well. You shouldn't kick the underdogs. Of course, it's dangerous to kick the ones on top, as well, but...

Dad said that most people at work agree, but there's the one Catholic who defends the Pope no matter what, just as there's the one Republican who defends Bush no matter what. Loyal to the title and all. I commented, "It's the hat that counts" (as opposed to the person holding the station). Mom commented on how Bush has one hat and no cattle, while the Pope has another hat and is slaughtering the cattle. Me, I spent the rest of the meal snickering to myself.


...I'm sure this is already a running joke somewhere. But whatever.



On another subject, there's a kid in my drawing class who is disgustingly full of himself. This wouldn't be so bad if he could draw even half as well as he seems to think he can. Arg. His ego needs to be taken down a few notches, but if he keeps not following the rules for the assignments, that shouldn't take too terribly long.

About a month ago, I talked about SH2 and then started talking about Transformers before my brain (which is evil, have I mentioned?) could fully make the jump (no, really, I did). This is relevant to something, I swear.

I have no classes today and didn't need to be at work until later in the afternoon, so I slept in a little. After my alarm clock rang (and was silenced), I fell into that weird half-asleep stage. I knew I was asleep but couldn't really wake up. I very often have strange dreams while drifting like that. So, yeah. Silent Hill and giant robots. It was kind of enough to make me not want to go back to sleep again. (Though I now find myself wishing I could remember what happened in it. XD)



Can't say it's everyday I wake up and disown my brain, though. I mean, usually it takes until at least noon.



...the frag did I end up with both "damn it brain" and "slaggit brain" tags? ... Damnit, brain!



I'm weak. Gonna try the Plus account for a few days, see how I like it.

We beat Silent Hill 2 last night. Minor Spoilers for the end of the game follow. )


Changing topics entirely, what's up with people saying, "Oh, my Primus"? Isn't that like saying "Oh, my Zeus" or something? I... was pretty sure Primus was the name and not the title. *boggles*



... um. My brain just went from Silent Hill to Transformers and... Crossovers. No. SO MUCH NO. I need a "delete" function for my brain. Stupid brain.



I got a package in the mail today from a friend out-of-state. An extremely late birthday present, whoo! It's the *erm, guesses at height* 8 12 inch (or so) Squall Leonhart figure from the Play Arts line SquareEnix is putting out these days. It's a very nice figure, and I think Squall's a pretty interesting character, but... Now I have the Squall, the Vincent, and I still have the I still don't know the height on these things 14" Kimahri figure. I do not know what to do with any of them. I have no room for them! Especially not the Kimahri. Arg. (I love them anyway, of course.)

I do like the little 4"-ish figures more, mostly because I can buy the two or three characters I want and then perch them on a corner somewhere, but these ones I keep getting? Too big.


I have no concept of measurements. Could you tell?
