I'm SUCH a geek.. (Alt title: So I herd u liek Piplupz)

[lil_rebbitzen]

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?)

"Holy crap, I think a million voices cried out in terror at the thought of Giovanni being a gym teacher... XD"

I would totally attend that class. ;) ;)

You're lucky your mall has so many neat things. The coolest thing in my mall is a Gamestop. :/

[lil-rebbitzen.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the journal, Tee_Bird! :)

UGH, I know. I hate gym class, but...

Meh, that's the main Specialty mall. Gwinnett Place and Mall of Georgia are normal ones. Are there any malls near a large Asian population where you live?

[tee-bird.livejournal.com]

I live in central Missouri. The population is pretty much 99% white around here. :/

There's an asian market about an hour were I live that sells food and stuff, but that's about it.

[lil-rebbitzen.livejournal.com]

Haha, I live 45 minutes - an hour from Atlanta, where, depending on where you are, it's either 90% White or 90% African-American. No, really.
And what's up with everyone I meet lately being from up north? :P

What sort of 'stuff' are we talking about?

But yeah, to get my stuff I always have to go out to Duluth. Ugh, so far away... it's about as far away as Toco Hills is, where the main Jewish population is here. *sigh* Why so far away, my cultural fixes?

[tee-bird.livejournal.com]

The stuff is like, knives and plates. Nothing that really interests me.

[lil-rebbitzen.livejournal.com]

Aw really? That bites...
Wait, plates? WTF?

Do they have any cons up there? We have a couple down here every year.

[tee-bird.livejournal.com]

I don't think there are any here. :/

I went to Texas for Akon a few years ago, though. I think it was Akon 15.

[lil-rebbitzen.livejournal.com]

:/ That bites. I thought all states had a con of some sort.

Hm, not sure which one that is. We get momocon, DragonCon, and AWA. Plus more I'm sure I can't remember. This'll be my first if I go to Momo. I kind of want to go as female Silver, since it'll be right after HGSS releases, but everyone (well, 2 people) thinks I should go as a Cool trainer. Hm, I'll see what people say over the next few weeks.

Also, saw the Batman pic on your journal. That's adorable <3

[tee-bird.livejournal.com]

Go as what you want to go as. :D Female SIlver could be cool, but I'm not entirely sure a lot of people would recognize that. I kind of want to learn to sew and cosplay Domino... at least for Halloween.

And thanks, my boyfriend and I totally went all out (IE: Not really) on Halloween.

[lil-rebbitzen.livejournal.com]

Hm, If I go as him (her?) I'll need to see if I can find some pants and shows like that. Can't be too hard...
And I'll wear a little name tag that has the Japanese characters and underneath it'll have (Silver).
I wonder if I can find a mask for him...you know,like the one from the manga... >_>
Haha, that'd be fun. I wish I knew how to sew :P

Heh, I think it looks good. :3

[theindigokid.livejournal.com]

I get the feeling Gio would be the kind of gym teacher who would make you run laps until you puke if you hit him with a dodgeball.

and, I posted this on my friend's wall when she said she felt lonely even when people were around, and I'll post it again:

if depression were a person I would kick in in the nuts. Repeatedly. And I am not a violent person... *looks at fanfics in production that are so full of angst it is like torturing the characters* well... maybe I have some violence somewhere deep down inside

[lil-rebbitzen.livejournal.com]

Or make you WANT to run laps just to get him to stop glaring at you. If looks could kill..
Or laps because he's CHASING you. DD: It would be the scariest thing ever.

You remember the end of Bare, how Seren killed the assassin? Yeah, I'd do that to depression. And then I would keep stabbing the body until I had enough.
("And then I will take all the little pieces, and I will JUMP on them", saith Authur Dent)
HAHAHAHA *laughs histerically* I did everything SHORT of giving a character MPD. I had them both get raped, and one of the kids was killed. I poured my childhood angst into Beginnings with Lil' Seren! I'd say I have some issues...
HAHA, seriously, you and I should band together and make a comm about torturing characters. Even if it was just us, it would be EPIC.
Cassandra: *sipping tea, British accent* So I had my OC be raped today. What did you do, old bean?
You: *sip* Well, old chap, I gave a character MPD for the blasted hell of it.
Cassandra: Splendid, eh what. Let us go watch Wimbeldon.

I..I have no idea where that came from... O_o

[theindigokid.livejournal.com]

I would so make that comm *_*

Me: my dear friend, you know how I do adore your fics but if I may suggest one little thing to improve your works it would be that it needs more dead children. It would be particularly splendid if they also died in a simply horrendous manner.
You: *sips tea* Yes, quite.

[lil-rebbitzen.livejournal.com]

...I have to make the comm now. The idea is too amazing not to.
What should we call it... *goes and looks up stuff* Suggestions?
I think a rule is that we must put everything in British English. :)

Me: *sips tea* Well, of course, the villain stabbed Seren in the stomach to kill the child, and the child was far enough along that it would have felt it... And there's a chance that Silver's twin is dead as well... Is that enough dead children, or should I retcon a plague in there for giggles, old bean? *holds up plate of scones* Care for a scone? It's made of the blood of orphans.
You: Why yes, that sounds delightful.

[theindigokid.livejournal.com]

congrats, you literally made me LOL. Most thing that make me type LOL usually really only makes me smirk and giggle at most.

I was thinking torturefics, even if it's not creative.

It's like dead baby comedy, without the comedy!

I think it'd be painfully obvious to a british person that we aren't british so I dunno xD

*eats a blood cookie*

[lil-rebbitzen.livejournal.com]

Haha, glad to be of service!

Hm, how about some pseudo-latin crap? You know, make us sound intelligent. XD I don't even care if the latin is correct!
But yes, torturefics sounds good... *writes it down*

Oh man, I want that to be the tagline! What do you think?
Or something really bad like "(Comm name): torturing characters one fingernail at a time" *Cannot believe she just said that*

That's kind of the point. I've got enough British in me to say in the disclaimer: "Look, we've both got a fair amount of British blood. we're making fun of our heritage, mmmkay?"
And of course, the obligatory: "Look, we're not condoning this sort of thing on humans/animals/whatever at ALL. We're merely talking about what we do to make our characters go almost mad.
Besides, it's nothing as bad as George Martin has done to his."

Me: Doesn't taste like blood at all! I did a good job! ^_^

[theindigokid.livejournal.com]

you can pick and it's ok with me :D
I like them equally but if I had to pick a tagline it'd be mine

[theindigokid.livejournal.com]

by pick I mean the writing style thing

[lil-rebbitzen.livejournal.com]

What, the name? I'm cofuzeled...

Yeah, your tagline's better. Not quite so...offputting. XD

[theindigokid.livejournal.com]

I mean the whole british thing xD

[lil-rebbitzen.livejournal.com]

Ahhh.
I think I'll try to put the comm together tomorrow. So Torturefics, eh? Better to be to the point than no one know what it is :P
