Doctor Who (2007)

2007-04-04T05:10:08Z

OH YAZ!

Watched Doctor Who series three first episode. New sidekick's cool; better than Rose. The Doctor is still the aweseomscauce side of fantastic, so that's all great. Jack's not up yet, but he'll turn up. I hope.

Watched Bomb The System, too. Thought it'd be good, didn't even finish it 'cause it sucked so bad. Pretty graffiti though. And the main character looks like Dallas (Y'know Switchblade from Butterfly Knife? Made him human and linked the parts of his bio together, posted on WW) and such. Only not when he's stoned, because Switch would never do that. Ever.

V hasn't gotten back to me yet about Mum buying him a ticket to see the Dali Lama. It's been almost 24 hours. Amusing. Think I still might just 'love' him: don't tell anyone. I'm probably making it all up anyway.

"Ghostdance, Dreamsong" got showcase, which is vaugely scary because I hated it and the only feedback I got on it was negative-ish. Weird.

lololol Trailer~!

PIRATES OF THE CARIBEAN!!! -- At World's End.

1: You're mad!
2: If I wasn't, this would probably never work.

OMGWTF still can't get over that they're making a His Dark Materials movie. I love movies, I love HDM. But the two don't mesh, man! Not the way it appears this film is being made: I've watched teasers and they don't look like the world I had in my head. HDM is too deep to make into a movie. Besides, I don't even want to know which geek they choose for Will. He's too cool to ruin with a bad actor. Leave it at that.

Less certain, and less sad, that they're making a Maximum Ride movie. That aught to be good; hope they pick someone good for Fang.

Watched Lord of War. Orlov's brother is good looking, and you know I'm not girly enough to say something like that, usually. He's also brilliantly stoned, which means I can steal bits of him for Mask (stole your name Sil,) my drunk stray character.

logan.ashadar

To let popular misconceptions rest once and for all:

1) She is not a changeling, she’s an exchange student: the Faerie are only lending her to you humanthings.

2) You can’t actually get her drunk on thistle down, cranberry juice, crushed butterfly wings and cat’s whiskers, and even if that did work she still wouldn’t grant you a wish, let alone three.

3) She is not a Timelord: she used to tell people that, but it got her into a lot of trouble with Torchwood and now she admits she just happens to have a sonic screwdriver in her pocket. (She didn’t steal it: she just forgot to return it).

4) She doesn’t actually like beating people up; that’s a nasty rumor someone started to spread a little while ago. It was that same person probably, who published violent poems under Logan’s name: she had nothing to do with it and wouldn’t dream of writing anything not bubbly and happy with lots of flowers. Honest.

5) No, Logan does not observe the rule 'no swearing', apparently. Besides 'thickshake' and variations thereof being her favorite generic insults, she appears to have chased Hilary Duff Lover off the site with her 'meanness' and 'bad words'. She doesn't actually give a damn, if you thought she did.

6) There is no set way to try and contact the Faerie world through Logan, but if you bribe her she may consider find some way to set you up.

7) Logan isn't a heretic: she's a Speaker For The Dead. There appears to have been some confussion about that, but Speakers are priests of no religion and she likes it that way, playing Ender's shadow.

2007-03-10T00:01:21Z

I wasn't actually looking for him, you know. I was looking for a god of shadows for this story I want to write, and I got this entry on the list of results for 'shadow' -- isn't that cool? XD

Sandman Quotes -- funny thing, found them while looking for a quote from doctor who. Specifically:

Captain Jack Harkness: Okay, this can function as a sonic blaster, a sonic cannon, and a triple and full sonic disruptor. Doc, what you got?
The Doctor: I've got a sonic, er, never mind.
Captain Jack Harkness: What?
The Doctor: It's sonic, okay, let's leave it at that.
Captain Jack Harkness: Disruptor? Cannon? What?
The Doctor: It's sonic, totally sonic, I am soniced up!
Captain Jack Harkness: A sonic what?
The Doctor: Screwdriver!
Captain Jack Harkness: *Who* has a sonic screwdriver?
The Doctor: I do!
Captain Jack Harkness: Who looks at a screwdriver and thinks "Oooh, this could be a little more sonic."?
The Doctor: What? you never been bored? Never had a long night? Never had a lot of cabinets to put up?

Godchecker

2007-03-09T22:40:09Z

Godchecker -- Me's happy now. Lots of fun gods on a searchable database so I can find a skeleton description there and google to find a more in-depth description and then write about them.

Timekeepers sucked compared to Waywalkers. Waywalkers was awesome and brilliant and just amazing, whilst Timekeepers could have gone somewhere but decided not to. Sam is still yay!fun!lucifer (little light, little fire,) but he's just getting caught, then escaping, getting caught, escaping, getting caught, saving the day but then not quite, bang loophole what the hell he was supposed to be dead or insane, not freaking albino!

But yes. Still a good read, really. Tinkerbell XD.

What would I do without you to explain things for me, Calli? I did read Endless Nights, but Despair's death escaped me in that. I just looked at the pretty pictures and wished that it was all easy to understand for idiots like me. Anyway, poor Dream in his little story, huh? Desire's evil to the max.

POH still make me go 'wtf you're like awesome' and I wonder if he's realized that. I do keep wanted to call him Poppies of Whorefrost one day because his name is so silly, but since I'm supposed to be a mod (OH YAZ, I'M A WRITERS WINDOW MOD) I won't. But seriously: Poppies of Hoarfrost, for a guy? That's silly.

Almost as silly as Logan Ashadar for a girl.

The Wake

2007-03-08T06:57:47Z

WHHHHUUUUUUHH!???

I know only one other person who reads this and reads the Sandman so I'm safe in adding spoliers. Bleh, there's your warning.

OMG WTF Why is Dream dead? Well, no, he's not dead but then he is and at the same time he isn't and I'm not really sure what's going on because I'm only about half away through The Wake but it confuses me. I thought the Endless couldn't die? Could only Dream die and is that why this Daniel take's Morpheus' place and become Dream? I really wish the library had Kindly Ones so I could figure out what the hell's going on.

Netnanny is now so anal I can't even read my journal. Bleh.

If...

2007-03-08T06:01:11Z

If my little brother was and Endless, he'd be Distraction, only because asshole-pain-in-the-butt annoying doesn't start with a 'D'.

Maximum Ride RPG, may get to play Fang. Don't know if I really want to, but it'd be a challenge - the first canon character I'll have ever played. I do play two from Eragon -- Tornac and Thorn, but Tornac's personality was never mention and Thorn's hasn't been either (besides that I haven't writen his bio yet but he's reserved for me).

Flipping netnanny won't let me update my journal so I have to bypass it and if I forget one more time to change the LAN settings back to 8080, dad's gonna start wondering...

wtf, boys

2007-03-03T05:01:03Z

Right.

So walking the dog isn't usually fun, nor interesting, but when suddenly you hear something that is either a song on a really bad requency or a mixture of Darth Vadar and toy lightsbares (I'm a dork, right?) it becomes interesting.

The car making that god-awful noise nears: a small black car filled with teenage boys. That should have been enough warning.

Next thing you know, Darth Vadar turns out to be a woman during tehsmex only she's apparently a cyborg because the sound it still more white noise that anything else. Now, I've never heard that before but I watch movies, so there.

But who the feth amused themselves on a saturday afternoon, driving around in circles, playing something like that? What-to-the-f, boys?

ANANSI BOYS YAY.

Crossed Spider with Axel and some of Poldarn's history, added a bit of me, a bit of leftover Seraph and some Swart to get Kamaru Asyris. He's an elf working for the Empire in an Eragon RPG, he looks like Axel only covered in tattoos, (don't know where that came from,) and he uses the same weapons. He has an overload of emotions that don't seem to settle. And he's a bastard.

I totally stole all that 'songs and stories' stuff from Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys, I know, but by that time I'd lost all muse.

Axel Icons

2007-03-02T06:47:59Z

AXEL LOL!

Axel's making me an Axel wallpaper because Axel is cool and Axel is good at making wallpapers and he made Dad a really awsome one so I asked him to make me a Kingdom Heart / Organization XIII wallpaper. No, I am not a Kingdom Hearts freak - I didn't even play the damn game: I just watched some of 1 and all / most of 2 while Axel was playing it. I watch him play Chain Of Memories when I can -- COM is where the Axel sprites are from; don't know why the white flash is there in the animated avatar. I will find out and tell you.

E says V will call when he gets credit on his phone.

Spider lol

2007-03-01T07:05:29Z

Can't type; Dallas is sitting on my face.

I got promoted to Mod. on Writer's Window -- before Tekin, which must really throw him off. I've been there like two months (more total, but with a two-year interval inbetween) and I already got promoted. He's been there longer and he hasn't been given the POWER. Probably because there'd be no threads left if you let him at them. WITCH HUNT.

SPIDER LOL.

Kickboxing: first fraction of a katana kata. *looks worried*

Not in Showcase this month despite having been nominated much for my most violent poem right after a big forum debate over violent writing in my agegroup. Yay? Posted sandman.muse which is like, part Nightside part Sandman part me late at night. Will put up Neverthere in a while, put some distance between them so if I don't write anything else this month I still look like I have on the writing lists.

TORCHWOOD HAS APPRENTLY BEEN OK'D FOR SERIES TWO, JACK TURNS UP IN THE NEXT SERIES OF DOCTOR WHO....

Neil Gaiman

2007-02-24T04:24:52Z

I need a freaking job.

THE BOOKSTORE HAS GAUNTS' GHOSTS~!

And what's worse, three Neil Gaiman novels (I bought one. The cheapest -- why the hell are book so costly!?), the Sandmans comics, the newest K. J. Parker and lots of manga (FULLMETAL!!).

I need a job. Be right back, off to design trendy t-shirts based on designs glimpsed at the Cuba Street Carnival.

Fangirl halfie!

2007-02-19T03:27:39Z

JACK -- I know, I'm sad, but look at that picture. I mean, probably, if I didn't know his character that picture would mean as much, or less than as much, as a picture of like, Tom Cruise or something. Only difference might be 'oh, nice jacket' at the end of the thought 'interesting shot'.

Yes, icons and desktop coming despite nobody I know having actually watched Torchwood. Bound to be someone out there with whom I can Fangirl!rant.

speed-speed-power

2007-02-19T03:19:22Z

Usually, anything physical makes me want to hit something / roll over and die. Now, I get to hit things: I have kickboxing / self defence / street fighting / weapons traing / martial arts classes twice a week and I love them. Punching bags + halfie in a bad mood?

HELLYAZBEECH!

Speed-speed-power, speed-speed-power, keep moving, don't stay in one place, elbow up, elbow across, grab and knee, back keep moving, shin kick, shin kick. Keep your gaurd up!

OMFG, katana! A looks all badass with his katana, although it's wood and he's in a stained t-shirt and trackpants.

WTF? WTF? WTF? I lost, second roung of the WW tournamnet, because I used a full-grown cat and the other guy used a kitten. I know that's the only reason: technically, my entry was much better. Cutting out was better, color theory was better, brushwork wasn't so blatantly 'lol swirl brushes because people like those,' and yeah. I feel pissed of. His and mine. Am I just arrogant or is something really wrong there?

Something to Remind Me

2007-02-18T08:40:42Z

Torchwood gallery -- CAPTAIN JACK IMAGES! ICON CREATION AND DESKTOP-BUILDING, HERE I COME. [/shift key abuse]

Last episode of Torchwood today. I think I'm going to cry: this was almsot as hard to take as the end of Wolf's Rain.

Well, no, not really, but it wasn't fun. And there don't appear to be any signs warning of further episodes, although Doctor Who returns 'spring' (that's autumn for me,) and I have this odd feeling Jack's Back with the Doctor. Somehow, I get that vibe. ^^

That'll be good. He doesn't have to act the father figure for a Pathetic!Gwen, Emo/Angsty!Owen or Sad!whats-her-name. Unless the new sidekick is a sap, but the following equation says it all:

{if Doctor_who encounter}
{Jack_harkness}
{open: can_whoopass}
{execute AWSOME}

Murtagh Icons

2007-02-17T22:38:51Z

[12 Murtagh Icons (Eragon)]

[Spoilers?]

They look better on their own, honest. Some have borders, some don't. Snag = credit.

Forgotten [more]

2007-02-17T21:35:16Z

Sha Gojyo [SAIYUKI], Robin / Tim Drake [NEW TEEN TITANS], Robin [TEEN TITANS ANIMATED SERIES].

Will make up full list with links to images or character profiles or whatnot. And I can't play Torchwood from my PC, which sucks because then I can't take screenshots (there's like three shots of Jack on the interwebs,) for the RPG. SUXORS: will ask dad to fix that.

I WANT PHOTOS OF CALLI DRESSED AS DEATH. She is obliged to send some when Carnival is over.

Dubyou tea ef

2007-02-17T08:43:38Z

Nightside RPG, under construction -- Skin yay / nay?

Working on batch of Murtagh Icons for 'Tag on DRA and general use. Snag = credit, for those few people who stumble onto this page and like them when they're done, yeah?

Wayne's World (1992): EXCELLENT!

Birchpaw got accepted (that's my Med. Apprentice,) by another admin. They centered the text, I uncentered it again. So far no one's changed it back. Kole and I started an arguement in the chatbox with main!admin about the 13-month-old leader, he set us on ignore and we had a gunfight using the #gunfight2 command and #pistolshot command.

Does Warriors Wish really atract dumb people, or is it just me / my graphics shop?

Forgotten

2007-02-16T20:20:18Z

Forgot to add Snape [HARRY POTTER], Illidan [WARCRAFT III] and Chaucer [A KNIGHT'S TAIL]. And somebody else, but I can't remember who now so he can't have been that brilliant. And yes, I know, they're all guys. Don't like female characters as a rule.

Dubya tee eef, mate?

2007-02-16T20:11:08Z

No. No, no, no! You do not have a 13-month-old leader. The admin is a fuckwit if he lets you play that leader at 13 moons. "he was the strongest cat left" is the worst excuse I've ever heard: if a newly-raised warrior is the strongest cat around, there's not fucking clan. And “leaders, deputies and medicine cats need to have really solid biographies”, huh? Wow. Apparently three sentences is quite solid then: I’d have called it ‘succinct’ or ‘sucky’.

And no, admin, I'm not changing my med. cat apprentice into a full medicine cat for another clan just because that's convenient for you. I created him to be an apprentice, and he’ll stay an apprentice.

Also, I’m not going to centre my bio. Why the hell is that a prerequisite for acceptance? Some ‘intermediate’ site you run here, bozo.

Dubya tee eef, mate?

Captain Harkness Icons

[ 2 Captain Jack Harkness (Torchwood)]

Captain Jack 1 Captain Jack 2

because

2007-02-16T02:48:00Z

Dream [THE SANDMAN], Dallas Winston [THE OUTSIDERS], Fang [MAXIMUM RIDE], Oreg [DRAGON BONES], Swart [STORMBRINGER], Kiba [WOLF'S RAIN], Captain Jack Sparrow [PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN], Captain Jack Harkness [TORCHWOOD], Ianto [TORCHWOOD] Fox Moulder [X-FILES], Loki [DOGMA], John Bender [BREAKFAST CLUB], Van Helsing [VAN HELSING], Dark [D.N. ANGEL], Wolverine [X-MEN], John Taylor [NIGHTSIDE], Razor Eddie [NIGHTSIDE], Logain [WHEEL OF TIME], Axel [KINGDOM HEARTS 2], Murtagh [ERAGON], Tristan [LEGENDS OF THE FALL], Poldarn [SCAVENGER].

Jean Valjean [Diamondback Juvenile Detention RPG], Mask / Havoc [Children of the Sandstorm RPG].

Mask and Havoc would probably like Captain Harkness: he's almost like them, only apparently pansexual as opposed to bisexual, although both Mask and Havoc fit that description too, a little. He's probably the character I'm most interested in right now and I should find some icons of him / make some myself. Dream comes close second because he has the coolest hair ever. Jack has a cooler jacket, though, although Dream's changes through the comics.

oh em gee, drive-by insult

2007-01-11T08:01:21Z

I was under the impression faggots were male.

Drive-by-insult: my brother and I are waiting for mom and my other brother to turn up; they’re talking down the street with someone mum knows. A and I are talking, sitting on a wall across from a petrol station.

Out of the station pulls a four-wheel-drive stuff with young men. They’d shouted something incomprehensible at us when they passed us earlier while we were walking; we’d taken no notice. Now one of the idiots pulled down the window and shouted ‘fucking faggots’ at us.

I gave them the finger as they drove off.

My brother and I look entirely different; I’m sinfully pale, with freckles and slightly coppery brown hair. A is taller than I although he’s a year and a half young, he has nut-brown skin, dark thickly curled hair and he looks older than he is.

I’m often mistaken for his brother; people at Graphics or WYPe ask if we’re brothers and I point out I’m his sister. I mean, my baggy clothing kind of hides me a little, but certain female aspects are visible on occasion about my person. Without the hoodie, let’s say, I do look feminine.

We may be taken as boy-friend-girl-friend because don’t look similar but we’re always walking close together talking about stupid things (in Dutch; often) and I rather like to hit him if he’s being stupid.

But me being a guy? Us being faggots?

That’s new.

We laughed inanely the rest of the way home.

....

We don't even know the fuckwits.

Seraphim IS a stu

2006-12-24T05:36:53Z

Nyk.

My little brother (littlest,) is very annoying. I just thought I’d clear that up with you, so you know why I sulk sometimes. It’s all his fault.

I wanna learn how to draw.

30 (28, now,) day trail of Adobe Illustrator is <3, hope I get full version for Christmas. And some Warhammer. People would like to think Christmas is about love, and peace, and giving. But really, if we’re dead honest, for most of us it’s about receiving. Presents are loved much.

Dallas is cute today because he only bit me once and was asleep for the rest of the day or something. On my lap. While I’m having an utterly hilarious, messed up, and crazy conversation with the CSS crew. They’re all nuts and they know it.

And yes, Calli, Seraphim is fundamentally Stu. He’s got an angsty childhood; he’s a hothead with an addiction to fire and a fire mutation, he somehow looked after both a younger sister and alcoholic (hippie!?) mother at the age of nine. He fell in (unrequited?) love with the good girl, he’s actually pretty nice deep down and worse yet, he’s got black eyes, hair and clothing. What more Stu-ness could you want? I love him dearly, but he’s a stu.

And which, drunk and hippie albeit, mother calls a boy Seraphim? Shortened to Seraph it’s the same name as the shortened version of the girl’s name Seraphina.

I R ASLEEP

2006-12-22T03:56:39Z

I suck at remembering to post on this thing.

I have a cat. His name is Dallas – I love him dearly (but not sincerely,) when he’s asleep on my lap (like now,) or purring while he eats. I hate his guts when he pisses on someone’s bed, bites my neck (or anywhere else) or makes my room even messier than usual.

Haven’t seen V in ages, but I’ve heard about him. He sounds like one of those characters in books (hah, sort that one out;) which are troubled and at the same time kinda like ‘I feel for him’ sorta, because you’re hearing from someone who cares about him [drama teacher; sister]. I should ask him if he still needs a place to stay or something. Where did I put his phone number?

The WYPe event sucked, sorta. We had three hundred sausages, got through about a hundred. They were free. A and I manned the sausage sizzle – A and a whole bunch of other weirdoes first, (TEH GUY,) but then they left and I joined him. I think I scared half the ‘customers’ off with my ‘omg I had six lollipops, pizza for dinner and nothing else,’ hyperactivity. Ezzy and K turned up, I have phonenumbers for K (V’s sister,) and Ezzy’s myspace, phone and email.

HaHAHAHA! Someone signed up to my RPG with a character who’s in love (unrequited;) love with my character. Seraphim, for those who don’t know, is a bastard. Really. Most of the time. Except with Dancer, but he doesn’t know that yet (and this new gal does. SCARY.) Mina almost took her head off. I dun wanna know what would happen if I signed Seraph up again and Mina had to check it (ignoring that I’m like, her boss) – he’s so get turned down for being a Marty Stu.

halfcast @ 2006-10-21T08:51:00

2006-10-20T20:14:03Z

Hospital from: 0950 to 1230. ( A’s broken leg getting a new cast.)
Hot Chocolate at Hospital Café, lunch at MacDonald’s, drive home: 1230 to 1330.
V tuned up at 1440. We left for drama at 1530.

Were early, couldn’t get inside. V went off to find someone, forcing A, Ma and I to wait with B and An until N finally got the doors open. We then waited in the foyer, which slowly filled up with children between six and sixteen. V returned, I set up the film camera, V and B struck sparks.

Piled in, dumped costumes, piled out, got run-through of how the lighting box works, sat down on front row to watch the first two shows, fucked off to get changed, did Billy The Kid, got into PJ’s for Nothing Happens, buggered up to the Lighting Box with G, did lighting for UOTO (the costumes still burn my eyes, I still only heard half the dialogue, it still wasn’t funny. And I wrote it, for god’s sakes.) then shot back down to do Nothing Happens. V and A skipped three pages, we broke down afterwards with no clue what happened, then blamed the light/sound box.

Stayed in the dressing rooms with V, A and K. V and A were popping eclipse mints but they looked like they were doing drugs. V kept spazzing when he bit on ‘cause they’re wicked Cinnamon-y. I declined and kept pointing out how much they look like drug addicts.

“It’s eight o’clock on Friday, I’m in a tutu and I’m on Vivian street – what am I? A stripper? No, but you’re close.” – V.

Gave N T-shirt we had printed. I can send you the design if you want to see it. Copyright to me, of course. Ma gave him the UOTO underpants. Not pretty.

So god-damned tired. So in love with theatre. So happy I know V.
