I love a good story, story's are one of my life's joys. One problem is that I hate, and I mean absolutely hate books, this has always been an issue for me. those pages filed with all the greatest story's known to man. That fact only makes me hate them more, so to cope with my personal paradox, I play RPG's, and watch Amine (and a few of the more popular live actions, House, Lost, Dexter)
The meta-story:
I'm know as someone who "meta-story's" among my friends. From what I can gather, this is much like meta-gaming, in that it's analyzing the subject matter outside of the scope of what was intended. It is asking questions of why to your emotions toward an event or a character, breaking down the design of individual things in order to see how the whole thing ticks. It is similar to reverse engineering in that I use my creative process to turn someone's story back to a story board type lay out. I do this because I find it generally entertaining, and so that one day I might use what I have learned. One day I hope to produce a popular story through what ever media I can get it on, all the meta-story I do is for that end.
Top Ten:
I love to make top ten lists, I make one up, and then I have to support my OCD, thinking about the thing until I'm satisfied. I haven't finished all the lists that I have started but maybe someday I'll stop making up new ones so I can finish some old ones (ADD and OCD combine so uniquely) ^_^;
My top Tens..... (In no particular order)(I'm adding Avatar: the Last Airbender to my lists, as honorable mentions)
-"Don't believe in you, believe in me who believes in you!!"
(Kamina, Gurren Lagann, tv)
-"If. . . If I were the rain. . . that binds together the Earth and the sky,
whom in all eternity will never mingle. . . Would I be able to bind two hearts together?"
(Inoue Orihime, Bleach, tv)
-"Shinobu, even if this body should turn to ash, I will never leave you."
(Naitou Momoko, shoujo-sect, manga)
-"I don’t know why I understand you so well , that it actually hurts. But I have important people now… that saved me from a hell called loneliness… If you try to hurt them, I’ll stop you even if I have to kill you." (Naruto, Naruto, tv)
-"your slow, even when falling." (Byakuya Kuchiki, Bleach, tv)
-"I Fl_lCl<3D you!!!" (Rokuro "Rock" Okajima, Black Lagoon, tv)
-"I'm going to take you HOME!!!" (Rena Ryuuguu, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai, tv)
-"Look at my eyes, Faye. One of them is a fake because I lost it in an accident. Since then, I've been seeing the past in one eye and the present in the other. So, I thought I could only see patches of reality, never the whole picture. I felt like I was watching a dream I could never wake up from." (Spike Spiegel, Cowboy Bebop, tv)
anime I want to be squealed:
-Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan
-The world god only knows
-Rokka no yuusha
-Btooom!
-Desert Punk
-Kaze no Stigma
-Ghost Hunt
-The Devil is a part-timer
-Outlaw star
-Knights of Sidonia
5
5 characters I hate:
-Emiya, Shirou (Fate/stay night)
-Tate, Yuuichi (Mai-Hime)
-Bidan, Kamille (Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam)
-Uchiha, Sasuke (Naruto)
-Iks (The Third - Aoi Hitomi no Shoujo)

I haven't been here lately cause life's been chaotic. I was able to go to AWA last weekend, it was worth it even with friend drama :P. I was able to get some cool stuff, including an R.O.D. the TV figure ^^, and Trina Nishimura's autograph XD (she's Nadie's english voice actress in El Cazador de la Bruja amongst other voices).
Then on tuesday we ended up getting a new kitten. Two strange women came to the door, rang the bell and we ended up with a new cat. It was insanely weird. But we have her now and since everything was crazy when she came I ended up calling her Eris :D.
Then not a few hours after Eris came I got a call saying that I was hired! I finally got a job!! XD.
So that was all the nice, if chaotic, news. Unfortunately I found out something awful. My cat died two days ago. She had attached herself to me a few years back and became my furry baby. It's been really rough the past few days with accepting that she's really gone, I miss her so much. But on the brighter side, I guess, is that she was old, around 11 or so, and so she had a long and happy life ^^.
Sorry for the rambling, there was just so much going on >//<. Thanks for the suggestion I'll have to check it out when I'm free.
Hey! Sorry it's been so long, I've been preoccupied with life and stuff lol.
What have you been up to and how have you been? I hope work has been at least a little bit easier. I'm still on the search for a job, I'm going to be applying to employment agencies soon. I just don't want to end up working in a factory ><.
Have you been watching anything lately?
Yeah, Sailor Moon was edited heavily when it came to the US in order to make it appropriate for kids. Did you hear that it's getting a reboot? I can't believe that it's been 20 years since it first came out, makes me feel old haha. I can't wait till the new anime starts.
Ah, I'm not a friend of "pretend yuri" either or "bait and switch lesbians" as tv tropes puts it. I'm cool with close friendships or even subtext, believe me I can be perfectly happy with subtext. But when they fake those relationships just to draw an audience or when it's played for a while and then randomly introducing a man as a sudden romantic interest, it irks me to no end. Unfortunately it's much more common that a legit romance.
Glad to hear that you're enjoying your bikes. It sounds awesome but I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to ride one, haha. I can kinda understand the temptation to go as fast as you can, I have that urge now and then in my car. I couldn't imagine what it'd feel like on a bike.
Thanks ^_^. All my friends love my car since it's so different and colorful, plus they always know it's me and can see me coming a mile away. Haha, some of my friends are like that, they helped me name my car actually. I call my car Lizzy, before I started decorating my car you could see how much it was peeling and so they dubbed it 'the lizard'. I didn't like but it gave me an idea for a name, of which I consider short for Elizabeth (one of my favorite historical figures). I have a 1996 Chevy Cavalier, it's kinda small but it suites my purposes.
Well, surviving is still surviving. It's cool, I understand. I do think at this point, a job is a job, but there are exceptions. If you're so miserable at your current job then it might be best to even take a break if you can afford it. I hate to hear that you're having such a hard time there. I hope you find another one soon.
My mom has similar issues at her job and I see how it affects her. I hate it. I hate to see her have to work a job she doesn't take joy in. She's been there a long time (like 15 years I think), and it wasn't always like this. It's when they started cutting everything, from bonuses to employees, that things got hellish. I want to be able to find a job yes, but I'm terrified of being miserable at the same time. It's just not very pleasant time for anyone right now it seems.
Hmm, I don't really play role playing games personally, but I have a ton of friends who do. Anything from DnD to Vampire. I hope you're enjoying it though!
Ahahaha, I've gotten just as bad, but for me I can't remember all that I've read and going through that list is a real pain ><. I haven't really watched anything new, though I'm hopefully going to start watching the unedited Sailor Moon series since one of my friends found the entire Japanese version for download.
Oh that's cool! I like bikes, though I don't ride them myself. That model look real slick ^_^. How does it ride? How do you like it so far?
I can't get a new car, and thankfully I love the one I have, but I was able to re-decorate it recently. Since the body of my car is kinda beat-up and peeling, I like to decorate it with car magnets. Specifically with hippie-ish flowers. I call it my hippie-mobile! My mom likes to call it my flower power car and my friends call it either the Mystery Machine or simply the 'flower car' ^_^. I can tell you it makes an impression on people.
Lol, believe me I know how that feels. I'm in a slump myself and have been trying to slowly write out of it. I'm going slow, with writing some OC's for the Legend of Korra universe. Have you watched it yet? If you haven't I'd definitely recommend it, it's pretty damn awesome. There are a few issues I have with it but hopefully the next few season will solve them ^_^.
Haha, I seem to be stuck in a purgatory of sorts, though I've been feeling better. I'm still searching for a job, though last month I took a break since I was sick almost the entire month ><. Now that I've recovered I'm starting back up this week.
Hmm, well I've been anywhere or done much anything noteworthy, I've been keeping busy with normal stuff. The week before last I had to take care of the house since my parents took a trip to Paris. Now I'm taking care of the pets and some of the house chores.
Though I have been watching a bunch of shows off netflix lately, I've started re-watching Xena, haha. I also started watching Sgt, Frog in terms of anime. But recently I've been addicted to some good fanfiction, so I've been reading those most of the time.
One thing that I am happy to say is that I've finally posted the first few chapters of my steampunk fiction ^_^. I was working on my third chapter when the hard drive on my laptop fried. It took a while to get that fixed and start back up on my story. I've also been working on my own Warehouse 13 fic just for fun ^^.
Hey! Haven't heard from you in a while ^_^. I've been alright, how have you been?
Even though I couldn't take on any of those listings I am greatly appreciative to you for sending them to me. Thanks so much for thinking about me, it means a lot ^_^. I took a break from job hunting for the holidays, since no one would hire around this time, but I'll be back to the drawing board this or next week.
I feel like I've been put through the ringer emotionally lately. My mother has been under so much stress from work and dad having to work in another state that it's been showing, and that presses down on the rest of us. My brother has been doing better though he's still looking for a job, but he's sure to find one before me lol.
As for me, well, the holidays haven't been very jolly the past few years and this year was no different. Another one of my pets past away from cancer two days after christmas. I guess it wouldn't have been so bad if we hadn't lost four already a few months ago. And we have one going to the vet tomorrow >_<.
Sorry for ranting, and that I don't have much good news as of late. Your work place sounds like my mom's at the moment; understaffed, bad changes, no hirings, and all the staff are overworked. I wonder if the hire-ups there know anything about running a business right, and it looks like it's a resounding NO. It frustrates me to no end, and I don't even work there o_O.
Sorry to hear that you had to travel between holidays, that's the worst time of year to travel, things get so insane. I hope things went well.
Ah, the ever addicting anime. I haven't been watching too much lately because when I start a new show I'll loose sleep trying to watch as many episodes as I can ><. I finished Madoka Magica not long ago, I absolutely loved it ^^. What have you been raging about?
Lol, the nerdy stuff you're doing is pretty tame compared to some of my friends, when they get into that stuff they dive way in, sometimes a little too far in my opinion.
Thanks, right now things have been getting better if still complicated. I've been feeling better personally and I've been applying to whatever jobs I can find, I am a little nervous about it though since I don't have a lot of work experience ><.
