Between the Earth and the Stars

So I was teaching my friend Sara how to play Pokemon, and she thought the Bag thing in the battle menu meant you stick a bag over their head to suffocate them...

I love her so much. XD

20 hours.

That's how long making Michael Bugg's cover took me...
@_@

The final product:


Considering this is the first cover I've ever done, I'd say it looks pretty damn good, IMHO.

Went to the mall today to swap out my shirt (it had some pulls in the silk), and to get Andy a shirt as well. His is a silver version of mine, more or less, and he looks ADORABLE. Gah, too bad men aren't usually attracted to older sisters with their cute baby brothers hanging around :P (I'll post pictures when we get the costumes together!)
Looking online to try to see if I can find a Ryoga piggy  ("P-chan") plushie. Thankfully they're not too expensive.
But slacks are hard to find for me...  x_x, and we still need shoes...
OH! And we bought hair dye for Shrimpie and me. Got him some temp black, so we can spray it in. Hope he looks better with it than I do XD
I got some sort of temp red to make my red hair brighter/more RED red.

We're going to look Effin' adorable...

BTW, I also picked up some cheap copies of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. I've actually read part of PP before, so the difference is noticeable. But Seth Grahame-Smith does an amazing job of using the language Austen uses, writing like her, etc. I could barely put it down to work on the cover! XD

SGS just came out with another book as well:
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
I kid you not!
I looked through it, though, and I will definitely pick it up when I have money.

I'm going to try to post some icons from a Pokemon comic I've been reading on DA soon, but I haven't even had a chance to batch edit yet x_x (Sorry hon, I'll get it up as soon as I can. Probably Saturday evening at the earliest.)

And of course...
2 DAYS TO LIFTOFF!

Alright, I'm taking a shower, then reading before passing out and getting barely enough sleep before Math Class tomorrow morning. *sob* I have math midterms coming up soon...

J.R.R. TOLKIEN
BECAUSE HE WAS A MAGNIFICENT MAN

Hm, not sure if I would exchan...WAIT WHAT THE HELL AM I SAYING HELL YES I WOULD
as long as I could still write some of my silly angst!fluff from time to time...

Seriously, if I were another Tolkien, I would write my novels like THAT. And while I'd write Seren and Giovanni every now and then for fun, I wouldn't have to do it to get better like I do now.
PFFFT, This question makes me want to work on my novel... dammit. Well, that's it, I'm going to have to post some of my crap writing. -_-

Tolkien actually is my all-time favorite author. The tales that man could weave... he actually inspired my love of coming up with history for places and stuff.
And he made me love fantasy even more.
Too bad he died like 17 years before I was born :/ *sob*


Anyway, I swear I'm going to kill this bastard that comes to our synagogue one day. He's one of those 30somethings that hits on younger women (like teenage ones), stalks women he gets close to (OH LORD IN HEAVEN THE STORIES I CAN TELL), and is genuinely messed up. I caught the baka yarou telling one of Trish's kids (the kids we took care of for awhile) that he'd get her some nice shoes, but one: He's not even supposed to be talking to the kids because he's already tried to turn them against their mom and said he wanted to adopt them and a bunch of other stuff. Two: He and the girl were actually conspiring to lie to her mom and say that their "Mimi" (a family friend who takes care of the kids while Trish is at school) has been saving up for these expensive shoes for her birthday.
At first, I wasn't sure whether to say anything to Mom or not, but then I realized Wait, he's actively trying to get them to lie to their mom, causing trouble again, and he's not even supposed to be talking to the kids. Hell no I'm not letting this slip. So I tell Mom, who gets me to tell Dad, who has me be there when he tells Trish. Who is obviously not pleased.

I think the only reason my father has not recommended she gets a TPO on him is I think he hopes he'll stop after he lamblasts him again. But what if he emotionally attaches to another woman after her? And its WORSE?
I'm starting to think he's one of those guys that needs major help, like from a professional psych in a mental hospital.
*shiver* I knew that that first impression he gave me when he first came was spot on.
Hmph. Personally, I think the only way its going to get better is a TPO...

But Purim was fun! ^_^
I'll see about posting the audio at some point. It's a rowdy good time!

Off to play Ace Investigations: Miles Edgeworth! Night!

So I finally got to go out with Mom to the mall, and even though we didn't get to go a lot of places, we were able to pick up some neat stuff. I'm not sure which is bigger: The Chinese Jacket that looks...sort of similar to Silver's (except it has designs on it), or the MOTHERFRAKKIN PIPLUP HAT!
Haha, my mom noticed it at PicaPica (one of the Japanese/Korean stores in Discover Mills mall) and she said, "Aw, it looks liek like a penguin!"
I'm like, "yeah, it's a Piplup."
"Wasn't that on Pokemon?"
"Yeah."
"...It's still kind of cute."
So Andy and I talked her into letting us get a hat each (He got a Goomba, I got Piplup), since they were on sale.I also picked up some hair accessories: Some hair ties... (I think Hello Kitty? *shuffles around in bag*) Yeah, some cute HK hair bands, a pretty pair of orange flower hair clip/pins (they sort of remind me of Orihime's blue hair clips), a nice pair of chopsticks, and some orange Japanese soda. You know, the type you have to force the ball into the bottle?
And I kind of promised one woman I'd try to stop by her shop whenever I'm in the area (She offers reward points w00t!)...
Which means everything I got was connected to Japan/China somehow.

So yeah, I'm going back into geek  mode. Oh well, I can deal with that. Better than being depressed, eh?
Oh that note, I think I'm downgrading from "obsessed" to hobby on my stories, but that could be the depression flaring up and talking. Gahhhhh...
Although I'm really liking RP stuff now. Hahaha. I think I'll try out SG soon, maybe play as Silver, or maybe Gio... I hear they need a gym teacher. (Holy crap, I think a million voices cried out in terror at the thought of Giovanni being a gym teacher... XD)

But  yeah, keep me in your thoughts, and let's pray/hope/send good thoughts/whatever the depression doesn't get as bad as it got when I was 15, plzkthnx. I really don't want to go suicidal again ;_; It's not like I have a real reason to, but unfortunately...depression has a way of making mountains outta molehills. Hell, I'm having to bat back the "I wanna hubby!" wangst, because I think that might be a depression trigger. I mean, it's not like I'm not fairly attractive (YourMileageMayVary, but I'm not ugly), so maybe I'm just not ready for a relationship yet, and that's God's way of helping me grow (the depression part is all me, though, because I have a Self Confidence score of 3 :P)
Besides, I figure all the people telling me I'm a sweet girl means something (unless of course they're just being nicSHUT UP BRAIN!) or another. Hm, well, I've got some opportunities to meet guys coming up, anyway.

Upcoming stuff I REALLY WANT TO GO TO:
Momocon!: Oh gosh, it'll be my first convention sdjafjakkjf I'm so excited! I don't have a costume or anything, so I'll probably just go as a Pokemon Trainer XD (Jeans, check. Sneakers, check. Awesome hat [Piplup or Giovanni style fedora(HELLYEAH)], check! Backpack, check! Random Pokemon stuff, check! Hell, I think I even have some of those old Pokeball toys lying around...And I think I can find my plushies....
Of course, I could go as a female Silver... (SHUT UP. I'm redheaded, got the jacket... Hm, need a Gen2 starter plush...)
So whatcha ya'll think? Normal trainer, cool trainer (If I can find my boots and leather trench and hat, I can pull it off...I hope), or Female Silver?
(If I had more time and balls, I'd make an Athena outfit)

Next, there's YMJA Youth retreat in April. It's just an over-the-weekend thing, but I want to go pretty bad. I haven't done a youth outing in forever... and I can meet some cute Jewish boys! :)

And finally, if I get on the list (PLEASE G-D), there's a chance I can go on a FREE TRIP TO ISRAEL!!! UGH, I wanna go like burning!

Hm, that's all I can think of for now... except for the fact I have math class tomorrow (;_;)

I'll try to get some pics of the stuff, especially the shirt and Piplup hat, so stay tuned! ^_^

Pip, Piplup!,
GxS

EDIT: Oh, and at the store I promised the lady I'd pop back by, there was this weird wallet...It had a woman kicking a guy giving her flowers, and it was orange and had a "R" on the back, styled like the Team Rocket one... I have no idea what it's from, but I think I need to pick it up... (If I have it if I go as Silver, i can say it's my mom kicking Dad (Gio) or something :P it sounded good at the time, okay?)

Bastards.

Used to be I didn't watch much at all, but now that I've found some stuff online I can't find on my TV, I tend to watch a lot online now.

I suppose my determining factor is whether I can see it on TV or not. Stuff like Axis Power Hetalia? Online. A lot of old anime isn't on tv anymore, so I go to places like ZOMGanime to watch it. A lot of that's in the original Japanese too... Japanese Sailor Moon FTW!
Also, I've been watching the first season of Pokemon online (in Japanese), and I find myself falling in love all over again.
(although my first love on that front is getting to watch Mewtwo Returns in the original Japanese...*wibbles*)
Haha, I'm such a geek. <3

Basically, if I'm trying to catch up with a show, or watch the old shows that don't play on TV anymore, I'll watch them online.

So this POS was my first RP post on pokemonopal ...

I'm not kidding, it was all I could come up with.
Well, technically, I've got another thing for that chara's blog,
but still...
(I redid it, it's not quite so stupid)

I am so full of FAIL today.

*sob*

No kidding, I started crying at dinner with my friend and his wife, because they were picking fun at me. It went to me not having a guy....and yeah.
Although my mom asked later what was wrong, and it's like, "just angsting over not having a man", she kind of smiled and rolled her eyes.
I'd just like to have a husband and older kids before the apocalypse.
Is that too much to ask?

Also, we have concluded that while I have a 14-15 in my intelligence score (aka 140-150 IQ), my Self-confidence score is, like, a 3.
UGH WHY THE HELL AM I SO WANGSTY LATELY?!?!
The Great Spock: Use Logic.
me: D: Logic no worky!

I'm a real piece of work, aren't I?

EVEN LIL SEREN IS DISTRAUGHT. D:



I'm going to go play LeafGreen and go to bed... maybe the wangst will go away some in the morning while I'm getting ready for the Senior pictures (OMB) on Monday. I have to wax and color and check makeup and jewelry...
I'M GOING TO BED BEFORE I THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE GOODNIGHT

P.S. Wordsnatcher you should totally join the RP. Seriously, I think it's going to be a lot of fun even with my EPIC FAIL RPing skills. There's several people on already...

This is sort of more for my records, but I'm joining pokemonopal , and I'm rockethadasim  ("Rocket Hadasim"). That's "Rocket Myrtles" for the uninformed =P, but Hadassah is my RPOC, so it's a play on words (HARHAR AREN'T I FUNNY?!)

Hooray, RPing!
wordsnatcher, you should totally join me as a Rocket Spy. Together, we could rule the galaxy!!
...as sisters :)

XD

Also, my little brother just got glasses! ^_^ He's so fraking adorable!
