1:40 am - Why do they hate the American fans so much?
|
I mean seriously. We buy their merchandise, spend hours creating websites that give them free advertisement . . . and then they go and stab us right in the back, then the heart, then they twist. My oldest muses took it especially hard, seeing as its connected them in a manner.
I'm referring of course to that first-class, grade-A piece of GARBAGE that is the new American Dragonball movie. When I was subjected to the first trailer, I literally felt like I had just been punched in the face.
1st offense: Goku is a teenager. An AMERICAN teenager. A WEAK American teenager with no confidence or friends! What kind of screwed up bullshit is that! In the REAL Dragonball, Goku is a kind, naive, powerhouse and had several friends by the time he reached his later teens. This first offense is unforgivable alone, but I'll continue anyway.
2nd offense: What in the hell is with this descendent of the Sun and Moon god bullshit?! Not only do we have a wimpy Goku who gains magical strength from this load of crap but now he and Piccolo HAVE to fight?! What happened to Demon King Piccolo who wanted to take over the world?!
3rd offense: The Dragonballs. What the hell did they do to the damn Dragonballs?! Simplest thing in the world, you gather all seven, you get any wish within the dragon's power granted. That's it. Nooo!! That's too simple! No, we have to bullshit it up and make them into some magical anti-end-of-the-world repellent to jazz things up! (I will personally maim the first person to mention GT, that wasn't written by Toriyama and broke a lot of previously established cannon rules.)
4th offense: Where the hell are Kuririn, Tien, Ranchi, & Chouzu? Oh wait, Goku has no friends. AUGH!! Stupid bastards!
5th offense: Kamesennin (Master Roshi) is neither old nor a pervert.
6th offense: Bulma's hair. Granted, a minor complaint, but these assholes don't deserve any leniency at this point.
7th offense: Where the hell is Goku's tail? *points angrily at his and Gohan's furry tails*
I'm sure should I end up watching this steaming pile of shit, I'd find more things that piss me off, but as I don't intend to see it unless someone puts a gun to my head, it's safe to say I won't be learning much more about it. So a round of double-fingered salutes to 20th Century Fox and everyone else involved in this movie. You all totally suck.
My sincerest hope is that the movie tanks at the box office and falls quickly out of circulation.
current mood:  pissed off

4:10 am - Fun with viruses
|
My computer caught a virus! Augh!!
The irritating part is that I haven't got a clue as to where it came from. As a major computer geek (complete with degree) I feel both insulted and a bit ego-bruised.
Luckily we got it out before it damaged anything irreplaceable but damn is it annoying!
And if that isn't bad enough . . . I think I'm getting a cold.
current mood: aggravated

8:55 am - I know, I suck.

I know. I know.
I said I'd have stuff up sooner than this and what do I do?
*sighs*
But hey, look! New things! http://murasaki-rose.deviantart.com/
Plus I successfully conquered NaNoWriMo with a beautiful fanfic that needs a hell of a lot of editing.
But chapter one is already edited and chapter two is nearly complete! (I had to write an entirely new chapter to help fill in the massive plot hole I left in the beginning.)
Go easy on me though. I just had my 30th birthday. @_@

6:10 am - NaNoWriMo madness
|
Oh my God, I am insane.
I'm participating in National Novel Writing Month this year, so my November will consist of an insane amount of forced creativity.
Oddly enough, it hasn't been so bad. Yet. I am being bombarded with a ton of new art ideas that I'm forcing myself to shelf for the time being.
Don't worry, I'm not overly optimistic. After all I'm still waiting for a huge writer's block to try and squash me towards the end of the project. Good thing I keep a mallet at the ready. *grins*

3:33 am - I really need a new job.
|
The hardest part about being new in the Computer I.T. field is getting started. Everyone wants someone with experience, but how are us newbies supposed to get any if we can't get a job?! *sighs heavily* They say that networking and knowing people helps. Unfortunately, everyone I know either has no idea, or the places that they suggest don't need anyone right now. *sighs again*
Adding to the job-hunting stress is the increasingly volatile work environment I'm in right now. I won't go into detailing the mess but I will say it all comes back to one person who seems determined to make everyone else miserable as hell and is doing a pretty damn good job of it.
current mood: frustrated

6:14 am - A Webmaster's frustrations never end.
|
Why is it always my own country that comes off so damn stupid?!
Besides my Dragonball Z and Yu-Gi-Oh sites I run several anime-related fanlistings, which are open to applicants from all over the world. And for some inexplicable reason, it's always the American applicants that give me the most trouble. ARGH!!!!
For sanity's sake, I added a drop-down box to all of my fanlistings for countries just a few months ago. You see, I originally let fans tell me which country they were from. With so many countries, some with alternative names and other oddities, I often received some unusual entries. But this wasn't the worst of it. Both in the rules to join and on the actual form it stated: "country". Simple right? Far more times than I care to count, American fans would place the name of their state or even worse their city name instead of the country! WHAT IS WITH THESE PEOPLE?! ARE YOU EVEN READING THESE FORMS?!!!!
So now that I've stopped the country mishaps, the fans are coming up with new ways to annoy me. The latest one comes from my Yu-Gi-Oh doujinshi listing. This form includes a question asking what your favorite type of doujinshi is. Their answer? One Piece. *pauses to bash head against desk* Now on the form I didn't specify Yu-Gi-Oh doujinshi, I didn't think I needed to. It is a Yu-Gi-Oh doujinshi fanlisting and all the 300+ other fans understood that it meant what type of Yu-Gi-Oh doujinshi is their favorite.
*sighs heavily* Some days it's painful to be a webmaster.

3:38 am - Happy Halloween!
|
Whether you have a night of drunken revelry planned, a long walk through the neighborhoods on a candy hunt, a trip to a local haunted house, or even a quiet evening at home: I wish you all a safe and happy All Hallow's Eve.
My own plans include hauling my 8 month old niece around to friends and family to show off her adorable costume, a quick trip to the mall for candy and more showing off, then back home again. Once there my sisters and I will order pizza and settle down to watch "Ghosthunters Live".
*squeals excitedly* I can't wait!

9:26 pm - It Just Keeps Coming . . .
|
Yeah, it's been awhile hasn't it. *sighs* I've been insanely busy these last few months, but I managed to survive. I've successfully graduated from college and become an aunt. Now all I have to do is find myself a new job and I'm all set!
If my baby sister doesn't drive me insane, that is.
She and her idiot boyfriend went and got married at the courthouse a couple weeks ago. Without telling either of their families. We just found out two days ago. *sighs heavily* Worse still, the two of them both have part-time jobs that combined couldn't pay for even one of them to live on their own, let alone both of them and their baby. *growls* They still haven't given an explanation as to why they went and did it. >_< There's a lot of other crap involved too, but I won't get into that here. I just really needed to vent a bit.
current mood:  hurt

5:55 am - Friggin' Ice Storm . . .
|
So I'm sitting here at work with my first use of full electricity and Internet in the last nearly five days. @_@ Some of you may have heard about the ice storm that hit Southwest Missouri last Friday. Well, I live smack in the middle of Greene County, which got hit the worst. >_< We lost power on Friday in what was one of the mildest appearing storms I've ever sat through. Hell, a few degrees higher and all this crap would've just been rain. But it wasn't and my entire home city is still covered in frozen ice and fallen trees. The ice is due to the freezing temperatures and lack of sun. (Except for yesterday, I sat by the window and soaked up the wonderful light. ^_^ )
At any rate, my family is one of the lucky ones. All the trees that fell managed to fall away from our house keeping the damage to themselves. We've also been able to stay at home the whole time. Despite losing are heater, we have a gas-powered fireplace in our living room and a gas-powered water heater. Believe me, I've been thanking God a lot for these blessings. That and while I've heard of a lot of close calls, there haven't been near as many injuries or deaths as their could have been.
Nearly froze my damn fingers off when I spent a half hour hammering and practicing my kickboxing skills while removing the quarter to half inch thick sheet of ice that was encasing my entire car. I still can't see out my sideview mirrors. I'm afraid I'll break the glass before I break the ice.
I'm tired of the cold and I want my Internet back. I love my family, but I need my space, my room is in the basement and it's too cold and dark to do anything but sleep in there. But flannel sheets and fleece blankets so kick ass.
current mood: freezing
current music: The sound of tree branches breaking

9:49 pm - Eh, it'll do.

Fiddled a bit more with my LJs look. I think I'll stick with this one for now. I'm still not sure what to do with this damn thing. *rolls eyes*
I finally installed the hard drive with all the anime Andy downloaded for me. Now I just have to get around to watching it. *grins sheepishly*
Was also playing around with my YouTube account. Man is their system weird! One minute you've got your favorites and playlists all working nicely and the next-BAM! Your recent entries are gone. Then you logout and come back later and there they are again. @_@ Very weird.
I'm gonna go play RE with my baby sister in a few minutes. She's had a bad day and nothing's more theraputic than blowing the heads off the undead.

10:13 pm - I can't get it to change!
|
*smacks head against desk* All I want is to change the background on my LJ but noooooo. I can't find the proper command to make it accept the changes!
Then I couldn't get the damn colorbars to work, so they ended up on my domain with a link in my profile. *rolls eyes* Thank god Blogger isn't this annoying.

2:31 am - What uses may come?
|
Gah, I'm feeling kinda cruddy right now. Am seriously debating whether or not I should go to school today. I already have to drive all the way back home before class anyway. (I forgot my backpack. *rolls eyes*) Plus, I've got perfect attendance in my morning class, so it shouldn't hurt to miss just one. But I've got five hours to decide on that.
So I'm trying to think of a better use for this thing. I got it because our anime club was going to post group messages here, but now we're not using it. @_@ So now I've got another journal that I can't do too much customizing with unless I get the paid account. (Ain't happening, I don't need extra customization that much.) And I already have a blog account(Also free and which I have fully customized), plus a blurty which I started for my muses. (Long story, I thought it was a cute idea at the time.) Then there's the journal I got with Devart and y!hosting. So it's not like I'm lacking in the online journal department.
I'd just drop it, but LJ doesn't delete your account from their archives even if you delete it, so I might as well use it for something.
Any suggestions?

I figured I oughta post something here so they don't think I died. It's spring break, and I'm spending the time relaxing. I'm well into finishing my new Devart ID. It turned out really good.

God help me, it's finals time again. One class being the capstone class for my degree! >_< In all honesty I'm nervous as hell about this whole thing. I've got to go through all my old notes an books to study for this one! @_@ I need a hug. *pouts*

2:56 pm - Frustrated beyond belief
|
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, I feel better now. Getting help in Linux is a lot like getting help at Wal-Mart on Christmas Eve. There's a lot of fruitless searching and when you finally get your answer you either don't like or don't understand it. >_<
I'd say screw the whole thing, but it's part of a class project and it has to be done.

*snickers* No it's not what you're thinking. Really, it's not. I'm talking about this of course. I finally got one of these things. Reason I never have was that I ended up with a blog. Only problem is, blogger doesn't have the open link thing and the anime club I'm in is setting up an LJ community. So here I am! *grins*
