Ugh...fighting off some cold/flu that I picked up somewhere either during or after the con. Have most of my pics edited, and some stuff written up, but I'm going to save that until I'm feeling better.
Meantime, here's a Saphir as Dist toward Jade song.
"Gravity" as performed by Sara Bareilles
Something always brings me back to you. It never takes too long. No matter what I say or do, I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.
You hold me without touch. You keep me without chains. I never wanted anything so much Than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.
Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity. Here I am and I stand so tall, Just the way I'm supposed to be. But you're on to me and all over me.
You loved me 'cause I'm fragile, When I thought that I was strong. But you touch me for a little while And all my fragile strength is gone.
Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity. Here I am and I stand so tall, Just the way I'm supposed to be. But you're on to me and all over me.
I live here on my knees, as I try to make you see That you're everything I think I need here on the ground. But you're neither friend nor foe, Though I can't seem to let you go. The one thing that I still know Is that you're keeping me down.
You're on to me, onto me and all over...
Something always brings me back to you. It never takes too long...

Thought I'd do this one too. ^ ^
New Fandoms of 2009: X/1999 (anime version), Slayers Evolution-R, Death Note (anime version), Solitary, Kannazuki no Miko, Princess Tutu, Avatar: the Last Airbender, Tales of the Abyss, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Firefly, Fatal Frame II
First Fandom of 2009: I would have to say X. I've known about the series for ages, and read some of it before, but I finally got around to watching the anime at start of the year.
Favorite Main Character of 2009: I gotta love me that Lina Inverse, even if she ain't a new favorite. ^ ^ Also Uncle Iroh in Avatar the Last Airbender, even if he isn't as main as some of the other characters. <3
Favorite Villain of 2009: I guess Dist is technically a villain...but if not him, then Tsubasa from Kannazuki no Miko.
Favorite Video Game Character of 2009: DIST THE FRICKIN' ROSE, BITCHES
Favorite Game of 2009: Tales of the Abyss, hands down. ^ ^;
Favorite Het Couple of 2009: Hmm, probably Rue and Mithos from Princess Tutu. Most of the Avatar couples are sweet as well, and also multiple pairings with Anise from Tales of the Abyss. And AMELIA AND PRINCE POKOTA bahahahaha XD
Favorite Yuri Couple of 2009: Chikane and Himeko from Kannazuki no Miko. y no im not biased, officer.
Favorite Yaoi Couple of 2009: My favorite yaoi couple is an OT3, and that is Jade, Peony and Dist from Tales of the Abyss. ^ ^
Fandom That You Never Expected To Get Into: The reality show Solitary. O_o That counts as a fandom, I think? Also Firefly, although I'm not too far into it yet.
Fandom That Made An Unexpected Comeback: I'd have to say Loveless. I really did not expect to get into that again. Slayers was also around a good bit due to Evolution-R, but that was hardly unexpected. Also maybe Death Note, because of the anime.
Fandom That Inspired The Most Crack: Definitely, definitely Tales of the Abyss. XD Though Slayers brought its usual amount, too. ^ ^
Last Fandom of 2009: Fatal Frame II, started playing it just days before the new year. =)

Put your music player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty-one songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-second is the title.
"I Have Often Dreamed"
"O fortuna velut Luna"... Tell me with affection in your voice Cutting through the darkest night with my two headlights Never made it as a wise man This may never start
Ever sang my song Here you are, there's nothing left to say So I'm back to the velvet underground Now that she's back in the atmosphere Like the latest fashion I can see I am the harm that you inflict
The world seems not the same If there were no words Under a lover's sky When you're away I feel I'm empty Can you feel the pain inside sometimes, in your mind? How do I get through one night without you? I hear the drums echoing tonight All dressed up with nowhere to go Making my way downtown
Listen, children, to a story... Mirror, mirror, lie to me...

So, I started playing Fatal Frame II last night. Oh man, what a game. Thus far, my one gripe is that a lot of what seems to be the main plot basically spoils itself if you watch the "wait a long time on the 'New Game' screen without doing anything" intro movie. Which of course, I did. Even so, I guess that's forgivable, as I don't think much of what was spoiled would have been too hard to figure out. But still. =/
In any case, the self-spoiling plot is also forgivable in that, from what I can tell, the plot is NOT the reason to play this. It's the ATMOSPHERE. First off, this game is really beautiful. Great art direction and dramatic camera angles. You can also first-person look at everything, and can even move around in first-person, too. They did a good job on rendering everything, and there are all kinds of nice details. Also, music. Very creepy, very pretty. Serves very well as the suspense-aid it's supposed to be, both during actual ghost encounters and simple, "the music just got creepy oh god what now... D:" moments.
There are also a lot of well-placed scares and startles that manage to do their job without feeling cheap, and expecting them to come at any moment is also a nice suspense-raiser. Also, the various ghosts and apparitions are legitimately creepy. They aren't bloody, misshapen masses of gore, they're pale, disappearing-and-reappearing, and often unnaturally-moving figures. (Lady in the Box, oh god-asdafdgsdh- *click click...CLICK CLICK CLICK* "I DON'T THINK THIS FILM IS STRONG ENOUGH... D=")
Finally, the way you have to actually "fight" the ghosts. You don't physically fight them, you must exorcise them, and your only weapon...is a camera. This is both original and extremely effective in adding to the scariness, as you have to HOLD STILL and actually watch these creepy things coming toward you in first person until they're close enough for you to get a chance at a clear shot (and thus do more damage to them). It's very nice. The Kimi approves. And when you DO have to run, your character, I might mention, cannot move very fast. >_> This was originally another gripe to me, but as it does it's own bit to add to the "ohgodohgodohgod D: D: D:" factor, it doesn't bother me as much anymore.
Overall, even though I'm not very far in yet, I'm already pretty impressed with this game. After I finish it, I'll have to track down and play the others. ^_^

Well, here it is, Christmas Eve day, and with it, I shall link some more songs.
Now, I said before that I don't really like most of the traditional Christmas songs anymore, because they're so overplayed. There are a few exceptions; "Silent Night" and "O Holy Night" shall be pretty for always, and there are a couple others too, but the one traditional Christmas song I will never get tired of is "Carol of the Bells". The melody is so much more...hmm, I'm not really even sure, but it's certainly a contrast to most lighter Christmas songs. ^ ^ In any case, this is one of my favorite arrangements of it, which is mixed with "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman".
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra: "Christmas Eve ~ Sarajevo 12-24" Watch/Listen here!: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHioIlbnS_A
Lastly, I'm going to link a song that was introduced to me many years back, but has proven itself year after year. I think this is probably my favorite Christmas song of all...the music, the words...it has a...realism to it, somehow. In any case, it's the one that speaks the most to me, so I hope you all enjoy it, too. ^ ^
( Wendy and Lisa ~ The Closing of the Year )
Happy Holidays, everyone. ^ ^

Over the next couple posts, I'd like to do something like I did in the last one and share a few other songs that still have some seasonal magic in them for me. Not all of them are strictly Christmas songs, or even holiday songs at all, but they still make me feel... If you want, give them a listen on youtube if you haven't heard them, or if you have, uhm...listen to them again! ^ ^
This one more folks have probably heard: ( Goo Goo Dolls ~ Better Days )

Well, the semester has ended, and with it, at last, I graduate. ^ ^ I'm still going to be attending one more semester here in order to finish out what I need for an Associate's in Sociology, but as it stands now, I've completed the requirements for degrees in general studies and applied technical studies (which is pretty much just a fancy term for general studies XD). I failed my math final pretty hard, but with my other grades in it, I still scraped out a low B, and I managed a B in my biology class as well. Everything else was A's.
Holidays are coming, and as with every year, they inspire thought and reflection, for better or for worse. I'm not very...vocal? in my Christmas celebrations, typically. Most holiday songs annoy me anymore, and you'll never catch me singing them to myself. I see this season as a consumer/business opportunity anymore, and it's sad that that's what it's honestly been reduced to for most. For others, it's just a routine, "Oh, it's Christmas again, better go buy folks some stuff..."
There was magic once. Now and then, a spark still lights, but it's rare...and nothing quashes it out faster than those damn overplayed songs and the fake, forced "Christmas spirit" that commercialism shows and tries to inspire. "Be happy! Be nice to each other! It's Christmas; that's what you're expected to do!" No. No, it isn't. That's not Christmas. Christmas is supposed to be a celebration of the peace and love given all year 'round, not a time when people put on fake smiles and play nice just because Santa might not bring them the things they want otherwise. Maybe I'm cynical, maybe I'm jaded, but I feel that holiday feelings shouldn't need the overplayed songs, don't need the decorations or the presents that are given "just because"...those things cheapen it.
Everyone, if you're celebrating a holiday this season, do it honestly, and not just because it's a "routine". And just maybe, those small sparks can glow again together.

So! We went to the mall yesterday, and I picked up some Dist makeup that the cosmic forces of the universe confirmed as being perfect picks for him. Shimmery lavender eyeshadow with a rose logo whose shade name was "Drama", and a violet eye/lip pencil that had "Dist by Hot Topic" written on it. XD Yes, I went to Hot Topic. I am shamed. Oh well. That's all. ^ ^

I found a woolly worm while I was heading for a class that turned out to be canceled. I took it into the student lounge to study biology with me. Other students pointed at it and went "aww" as it walked around on my notes. It is now my friend. :3
Anyway, couple things to report. First, an update on the last entry. Did a lot of talking and thinking, and due to various things mostly involving class requirements and campuses where they will be offered come spring, I've 95% decided that I'm going to go for an associates degree in sociology here, and then transfer it into a bachelor's program in psychology elsewhere. Gonna be looking at a school nearer Pittsburgh most likely, as I think that's probably where I'll be headed next. Much as I like my little community, it'd be nice to be somewhere with more people and a wider diversity of them. Maybe I can even find some anime/gaming clubs to meet some folks in. ^_^ Maybe even some *gasp* cosplayers??
Speaking of cosplay (I'll keep it short, I promise XD) I styled my Dist wig last night and it actually came out pretty well! I'm gonna get a stylist friend to touch it up hopefully, put otherwise, not bad! I'm pleased; I was very afraid of screwing it up. ^_^; So with the wig mostly done, I now have all the pieces I'd need for a lab version!Dist. Don't plan to actually cosplay that, but it makes me happy to know that I could. ^-^v I hope I can convince my roomie to go to Ohayocon at the end of January! Tekkoshocon is too far away! T^T Plus, from the forums, it looks like there will be a pretty large number of Tales folks there! DO WANT! Hehe.
Let's see...school goes well so far. Taking five courses, two of which are very easy. Intermediate algebra is going surprisingly well (maybe I'm finally getting the hang of it?), and biology lecture/lab...eh. I could be doing better, but also worse. It seems like most of the class is doing rather poorly. I think the teacher needs to refine his methods a bit, though I'm glad he has a sense of humor in class.
Still writing, still drawing. Usually when I should be working. XD Because that's when all my best work gets done! Law of the universe. And now I'm pretty much rambling, so I guess I'll stop here. ^ ^

In life, it's important to know what it is you want, and what it is you want to do. I feel that I know what it is that I want. I know what I'm lacking right now, and what I would be happy having. It's not something that I can easily find in a small town like this, but I can do my best to look.
But what is it that I want to DO? They say to take what you love and make it your work. So what do I love? What is my passion?
I adore psychology. I think it's absolutely fascinating. The study of the mind and how it works, why things are associated, the analysis of drawings and things garnered from pictures and the like. It's amazingly interesting to me, especially abnormal psych.
I love animals. All kinds. I love interacting with them, and I seem to have some degree of an affinity with them, especially cats. I can't count how many times I've had typically unfriendly (or so claimed by their owners) cats and dogs come to me comfortably or allow me to interact with them, much to their owner's amazement.
I love to perform. I. Love. To. Perform. Acting, singing, even just silly, everyday things that will make people laugh. I live for reactions, and...it's difficult to explain to anyone who isn't also a performer, but the feeling of being before any number of people focused on you, tuned in directly to everything you say and every motion you make... The energy feeds into you like a high. You have your audiences' attention and sometimes even their very emotions in your hands. It's people allowing you to make them feel, and you thanking them for that gift in the best way you can. Acting is a category of its own within performing. I'm sometimes at my happiest whenever I can just step into someone else, to be them for a while, to think and feel things the way they would. That's the main reason I love cosplay so much (and why I'm in character 90% of the time whenever I do it). The same goes for role-playing. I simply adore it.
And so, from these three things, what can I do? Well, psychology has its own field, to be sure. However, I don't know that I'd want to be a counselor, unless it was possibly for children and/or young adults. A school or college counselor might be alright. I'm more interested in the studies and discoveries, though...does that mean I should be a researcher?
Animals...the main money-making fields there are veterinary, grooming or training, and none of those things really appeal to me. Wouldn't mind working at some kind of animal day-care, though!
And then there's acting, performing and theatre. I know that's really where my passion lies. It has since I was a child. I want to perform, I want to be around others that share in my passion for it, for plays and the whole art. And yet...I know what a difficult road that is. I also feel like if that was the road I was supposed to be on, I should have been on it by now. I'm not a teenager anymore. I'm not even early-twenties anymore. Is it too late for me to do it? What am I doing?? Where the heck should I be going? I'm floundering again, and I don't like it. I thought I had this figured out.
Finish out this semester...finally get your stupid AA after way too many years of part or no-timing it. There are people my age that already have a bachelor's or a master's, and I feel insufficient. Then again, there are also people my age that never graduated high-school, so eh. In a lot of ways, I feel like I should still be about twenty; I'm only now reaching the point of my life where most people reach when they're around twenty. Where did I lose those six missing years?
Ah, wait...I remember.

Ugh...just got done with my biology quarter-term test. You know, it was supposed to be on 2 and a half chapters... and due to my bout of rappig flu, I only really got in enough study time for the two main chapters. I figured I'd be okay, as one would think that stuff relating to the remaining half-chapter would equal about a fifth of the test, and knowing 4/5ths of the material really well would have me pretty well on top of it. Yeah, that would make sense!
EXCEPT THAT HALF THE TEST WAS ON THAT HALF-CHAPTER ASDJFSDJFSDFKSJFSDJFK WHAT DX
Grrr...at least my professor's letting me make up the lab quiz I missed. Damn you to hell, rappig flu. *sigh* Oh well.
Uh...let's see...I got a funky idea for my Dist cosplay; instead of killing myself on his flower collar (and killing other people by accidentally stabbing them with it in close quarters XD), I was thinking I might try and find a white and hot pink boa, fold it over a couple times and attach it to the coat collar. Then it would make this nice feathery lining that kinda stands up but also dips back behind him too, onto his shoulders, sort of like how it does in that Dist and Anise Gaiden manga which no one reading this has even seen except maybe one or two people because you have lives and I don't and I freaking love that comic so damn much and THIS RUN-ON SENTENCE IS AWESOME!! :D And plus, come on, WHITE AND HOT PINK FEATHER BOA. You cannot get much more ultra-fabulous than that. *winks, blows kiss with purple lipstick*
*ahem* Anyway. More stuff to type up! Not much else to say for now. Laters!

So I went to the doctor, and it turns out I actually caught one of the strains of swine flu going around the area. I'm entirely too amused by that. Bwahaha, I have the plague. XD Dammit, Peony, this is all your fault. Get your damn rappigs away from me.
Peony: Rappig?? ^-^ Kimi: NO.
Anyway, not much else to report. Resting up, doing my school work, and still playing Abyss with D. We've come up with so much great stuff on improv while playing that game. XD I've managed to remember and type some of it; maybe I'll have to post some of it sometime. Also, still writing and drawing a lot, due to Jade, Peo and Dist. ^ ^ I am productive! 8D
Okays, time for foods now. Beware the Heartless rappigs! They are coming for you... @o@

Sick....sick sick sick...been sick since Friday. I thought I was doing a bit better today, so I ventured out to class, and while I made it through the first one, by the end I was feeling feverish, dizzy and nauseated, with headache and cough and all of the rest. Ugh...going to the doctor today. Yes... Dayquil, why have you forsaken me?
Been listening to the music artist Anggun lately. Three of her original songs have particularly struck me, those being "Dream of Me", "Snow on the Sahara" and "A Rose in the Wind". For the longest time, I've been trying to find a good song for my WoW character, Lleriyn (femme troll shaman), and I considered "Dream of Me" for it, as it's kind of mystical and tribal-like, but as soon as I thought of it, my femme troll mage Rhiann swept in and claimed it for herself. XD Then I heard "Snow on the Sahara", and I think it fits Ller pretty well. As for "A Rose on the Wind"...well, that reminds me of someone too, who just so happens to have "rose" in their name as well. Gee, who could it be? ^ ^; A lot of it matches very well...
Anyway, have some lyrics!
( For Rhiann ~ Dream of Me )
( For Lleriyn ~ Snow on the Sahara )
( And finally, for a Rose ~ A Rose in the Wind )

So...
Apparently I can't take my college algebra class because I haven't taken intermediate algebra. So I have to take that class this semester and then take regular algebra along with statistics next semester in order to get the psych degree by then. Rrrgh. x.x I'll post my schedule once I know it for sure. Grah.
Got some more stuff for the apartment today. God, we need a sofa. XD We're also working on getting some internets there. For now, my only online time is at school. Stuff and fun times! Alrighty, back to work.

Hey there, friendly friends and neighbors, it's time for another long-overdue update.
1.) Apartment - Well, it was a nice summer, and my roommate and I have found ourselves a new place! We found out a friend of the family happened to have a little two-story building that they rent from time to time, and they were kind enough to accept us as renters. The first floor is all garage and storage, but the second floor is a very nice, spacious apartment that we have moved into. It's within walking distance to a fair amount, including some places that might even serve for our employment needs, and best of all, we've got the whole building to ourselves! Woo! =D So yeah, that's all good stuff. Now we're just dealing with the "getting settled in and situated" craziness. Yay, stress! XD
2.) School - Oh god, kill me now, but yes, it's back-to-school time. The course load this semester is actually not bad, but due to the subjects, is going to feel like a lot more than it actually is. Chief culprits of this being biology lecture and lab (I haven't had a college lab class before, so hopefully it will be enjoyable), and.....college algebra. Algebra. Again. Why can I not escape you, algebra...? Why must you follow me everywhere I go, tormenting my dreams, casting a shadow on all my aspirations and threatening to throw them all into the abyss by way of your utter incomprehensibility...? I hate you, math. I hate you so. very. much. Somebody help me. x_x *cries*
3.) Tales of the Abyss - Speaking of the abyss, and in much less stress-inducing news, I'm a little late for it, but I have recently fallen rock solid for the game Tales of the Abyss. ^-^ It's fun to play, has good characters, a neat story, a really fascinating world system, and just overall is very, very win.
I have especially fallen for the Keterburg group; that bunch has grabbed hold of me like nothing has for a very long time, so much so that's it's surprised even me. Jade, Peony, Nephry, and especially, ESPECIALLY that certain one by the name of Dist the Rose, a.k.a. Saphir Wyon Neis... That one's actually taken up residence pretty strongly in my head of late, and more than that, he, Jade and Peony actually have me WRITING again! It's the first I've been so driven to write stuff, even just little things, in AGES! So cheers to them for that! ^_^ Even if most of what I've been coming up with makes Saphy want to murder me in my sleep. XD Maybe I'll have to start posting some drabbles and ficclets behind lj-cuts. ^-^
ALSO because of this group, I have a drive to start attending cons again! D has had the desire to cosplay Jade ever since she first played the game, and I would absolutely ADORE playing Dist along with her! So, I may be calling on the services of those with leet sewing-fu sometime in the near future, as mine is very fail. XD Would anyone else be interested in making an Abyss group with us sometime? Kira, I remember you saying you might want to. If you still do, BE PEONY!!! ^o^ For the love of GOD, be Peony!! With me as Dist and D as Jade, we'd have the whole trio and it would be freaking awesome and the fun barrier will break! XD
In any case, that about all sums it up for now. *phew* I actually started into this entry really stressed out, but I feel better now. Just can't let that algebra get me down. I can do it. Catch ya later, all!

Guess it's time I updated again, though I don't have too much to say. ^ ^; As of June 1st, I've been back in Pennsylvania with one of my roommates. My dad and his fiancee helped us move, and the drive back home was uneventful. Nice weather all the way. :D Other than that, not too much to tell. We're currently staying at my mother's house, helping her out and doing a lot of cleaning, while we look into what places might be good for us to find work. Guess this is a transition period. ^ ^ In any case, things are going well.
In addition, one tiny little Slayers related thing: Page 19 of part 5 of the Evo-R manga. ^ ^ http://www.onemanga.com/Slayers_Evolution-R/5/19/
Super-cool picture of Xelloss?: Awesome. Watching the strikes against the fanon view of Xelloss and the high-ranking Mazoku in general continue to pile up?: Absolutely priceless. So. Very. Pleased.
Now let's just hope fans don't discount it just because it's going against the stuff in TRY. Even though TRY went against stuff in Next and the novels. Because, you know, someone who's completely, indisputably, remorselessly wicked and evil just 'cuz they damn well wanna be is just SO much _COOLER_ than an actual, multisided character that's also a servant of destruction in the balance scheme of the world. And it's so much easier to write.
Okay, /rant. XD Ground well traveled, I'm afraid, and I apologize for that. ^ ^; Anyway, I'm out. Good to be home!
