Got my copy of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night to-day.

Going super-soaking churchgoers on Sunday (or at least having a squirt gun battle at home).

EI loves her job.

Figured out how to make Italian Sodas.

Back whenever.

While I am gone, please enjoy http://subservientchicken.com/ .

Happy Easter or equivalent pagan holiday.

The EI has a job ^_^V. Yes, she's going to be employed as a file clerk in a medical center. This is a good job for her since the office involved gives mad leeway to nursing students to study. Also, it is the opposite direction from our house as the BF's pigsty, as if working alone wouldn't do wonders to keep her away from him. Hurray! Did I mention he has no job besides making fruitless attempts to book his band? Oh, well, he doesn't have a job!

As for my job serach... umm... I made peace with a car! I think. At the very least, I don't seem to be having the same issues with the old car I have with the new one. I can drive it quite well in fact. I've even given it an affectionate nickname- Flibby <3.

kurenai_bara and I didn't get any CV written at all this weekend, though we did invent two new variations on *sporfle* and *spork*. *Alastor*- signifies stabbing oneself in the head with Alastor from Devil May Cry (and presumably being electrocuted as well as wounded outright); you know, for all those fics that *sporfle* just doesn't cover anymore. And *gunblade* or *bangstab* indicates there are two mind blowing issues with the fic in question. EG- An Mpreg tyPes LiKe Tis!11!11!

Speaking of which, we found several *Alastor* worthy fics and reported/reviewed them. One of which with results that were teh funny. The good news is, I have a fanfic autoflame that works! The bad news is the *bangstab* worthy nut job who wants vengeance.

My name's Shanisasha. I'm sure you recognize my name. After all, you just flamed me something terrible on FF.net. I'd like to start by saying I took offense to that lovely review of yours. I'll follow it up by saying I dont quite understand what terrible thing it is I did to you to deserve such a vicious attack and was rather hoping you could explain it to me, because it makes no sense on my end.

You think that's bad, read the fic!

http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1794869

Please feel free to submit piss and vitriol for the hack I will be preparing this evening- credit vis LJ username will be given all submissions. I mean, this just screams for attention via the one quote from the bible I espouse (and Schuldich too, as CV fans know).

Ask and ye shall receive. Knock and the door shall be opened unto thee.

Oh, and you need not know anything about Devil May Cry to submit remarks. I mean, the author doesn't. *Alastor*

( Did I mention she's stalking my LJ now? )

For those of you who doubted this, please see my previous entry. What can I say? I thought the email the LJD people posted was to annoy people and prevent them from writing. As for the rest... I don't know. I just don't know, damnit! *cries* Kwobt no BAKA!

Also, it's been brought to my attention that searching for "LJ Drama" on google puts up my fight with the queen bat as the second hit. Interesting. Can I explain this? No, I guess karma just hates me for a change.

I only over pulled off one successful April Fool's joke, though I have been the victim more times than I can count. Anyone remember Mooncake? Well, she was the girl who though she was Duo Maxwell- the one who often appeared in earlier days of this jounral. To hear some stories about her, I think I put some in my memories section. Anyway, what I did was call her up and pretend to be in tears. Upon her asking what was the matter I explained...

"Well I found [Girl I had a crush on at the time]'s number and called her but I didn't get her. I got her husband! It turns out she's married and she has three kids and since I called her she's furious with me and thinks I'm a pervert so I'll never get to see her again and APRIL FOOLS!"

I think I'll post some pictures tomorrow. Any requests?

No, it wasn't nice. Next time I saw Mooncake, she beat me over the head with her sketchbook. That, I can forgive her for. The other stuff... Don't know about that.

Anyway, I finished Devil May Cry last night! FUN! Well, except when I realized my average level rank was a C. Blarg. Today, we had a lecture on Taoist sexual practices in World religions. Professor D. laughed through the whole thing like a little kid. Well, I guess some people just don't accept the word penis like fangirls.

LJ drama has shut down! The LJ staff bought the domain name.

On one hand, I shan't be entertained by them anymore, which is sad. Well, there's always morons.org, bad_porn_2, wtf_inc, tws_support, somethingawful.com, ponyisland.net [not for drama or idiots, but still entertaining]...

But at least this way, there won't be any more strange people reading about that spat I had with someone who thinks she's queen of the baby bats. *GLARE*

*megaphone*Do we have any Castlevania experts in the house tonight? Specifically, I need some info on Alucard. I think the info I need is in Symphony of the Night but I can't look it up owing to it being a nitpicky thing no fanboys care about. Is Alucard's mother's name Elisabetha/Elisa/Elizabeth/something along those lines?*/megaphone*

Well, as I may have mentioned here and there, on Thursday evening I bought a used copy of Devil May Cry for $10. I mean, nothing says mindless fun like emptying a clip full of bullets into a crowd of lizard men. Even if it did cause me much pain until such time as I switched over to easy mode. What can I say? My brain needed cooked X_X.

I played it for awhile yesterday evening and then went to bed. And by awhile, I mean five hours or so, which is nothing compared to what I can put into the average RPG in one sitting. I once played FF9 for 15 hours nonstop. Can't do that with Devil May Cry, it would get too frustrating.

So, in the end I went to bed.

And I ended up dreaming I was still playing and should go to bed soon! Needless to say, the game got REALLY strange as soon as it was subjected to my unconscious. As you may well know, the main character of Devil May Cry is half-demon. Very Western demon. I dreamed that he went eastern demon and went from seme to uke. Whatsmore, I also dreamed that I finished the game. The last scene was not a fight sequence, but rather a short FMV. The girl he'd been following around came out and said, "Sorry, there's no one here for you to kill. I lied. I didn't think you'd come with me if I told you the truth. You think your mother was your father's one and only? No! Why, you've got a whole clan worth of half-siblings!"

And she opened a door revealing a lot of cute, sexy half demons and a sign that read "Sparda family reunion".

I subsequently dreamed that I laughed and decided to watch a little TV before bed. I ended up watching a dream Bitchy Doctors where Dana was still part of the cast and had a pet scorpion on a leash. Also, there was something about people's legs randomly falling off and their subsequent expiration.

And then, I woke up. I think.

URGENT - Call the HRC Action Line today at 1-800-509-0176
and then forward this e-mail to your friends.


We have set up the HRC Action Line - a toll-free number to allow you to call your member of Congress at this critical time.

What's happening: this week, the United States Senate held their third hearing on efforts to write discrimination against same sex couples into the Constitution. Next week the House will be holding their first in a series of hearings on efforts to change the constitution - and a vote seems likely to happen by the end of the summer in Congress. It's critical that we get as many calls into congressional offices now in order to demonstrate strong opposition to any effort to change the constitution.

Call the HRC Action Line at 1-800-509-0176. You will be prompted to enter your ZIP code.

Keep these talking points in front of you when you make the call. Tell your Member of Congress:

- You oppose the Federal Marriage Amendment, and you urge them to oppose this legislation - and ANY amendment to the Constitution on marriage;

- These amendments would write discrimination into the Constitution - constitutional amendments have historically been about protecting and expanding rights, not about discrimination

The HRC Action Line will only be active from now until Monday - so please call 1-800-509-0176 today!

Well, that's OK. Nothing happened. This morning, I managed to avoid being put on the spot by mister ewhtics prof yet again. In Neopets, I finally bought an exploding pod plant. Not special, I know, but I really wanted one for some reason.

I'm having a real little-kid sleepover type birthday party this year. I wish everyone from my friends list could come, but Kasan said only two people were permitted owing to space limits. So, I am having two of my kidnappers over :D. Yay for Stolkholm syndome! Everyone else will get an insane friends-only story posted here for the celebration. Judging from what disasters my parties tend to be, the story is probably the better deal.

I've been working on ficlets, but they don't seem to be getting done no mater how much I type O_O. I keep asking myself what would happen if I up and posted a story about a questionable fetish to some fandom where such things are unheard of. I mean, slashy people [making a very general statement, no offense intended for anyone] tend to go either the blow job or the anal sex route with little in between. Imagine the face of a 3x4 shipper if someone showed up with a golden showers fic on one of their MLs! I mean, personally, I find that icky beyond words, but just to hear their screams would probably be something else!

Oh, and this may amuse minna.

http://www.livejournal.com/users/yuki_onna/81549.html

Ya minna! Well, spring break is over for the year. Ah well. Personally, I had a lovely time. I mean, I actually got stuff done! And ran into lots and lots of people ^_^. Happy! Anyway, there should be another huge update to the CV in the near future, and SYWM as soon as I have some more things to update it with.

Speaking of updates, I want to make some [more] new banners for CV and SYWM. Is it fleching or feltching? And by that I mean "The act of sucking cum out of someone's ass". I honestly can't remember if it has a T or not. And that seems like the sort of thing I should remember!

Sunday Night, kurenai_bara and I wrote 31 new posts for CV and Co, not to mention planned lots and lots of future mayhem for Niji. Oh, will there be mayhem. So much mayhem. And more Dys hacks besides chapter two. I want to do at least five chapters. I'm going to have to get drunk off my ass to do three (the Aya-raping one) but anyway...

My ehtics teacher is sitting all his students down for a "talk" about their respective midterms. That is to say, twenty minutes of wank. Joy.

I've got a problem with one of my cats. Some details of this problem may be rather squicky for some readers. Hence the cut.

( But if you want to hear about the Evil Sausage and her latest reign of terror, click here! )

Hmm, interesting news today.

Chibi Zack: You finally found a place that serves Monte Christo Sandwiches?

Well, besides that! Though speaking of which, yes, turns out we do have a mad-awesome sit-down sandwich place down the street. They serve care too! The interesting news however comes from the Rev. Seems he has a high probability of being put in charge of the second shift [Read: the anti-social people who fix computers after everyone else goes home, he has the ability to commune with them] or being relocated to the new data center in Phoenix Arizona.

Chibis: O_O!

It's true. Or it may be true in a year or so. Upon hearing this, I contemplated the possibility…


Pros

* With the money we'd make form selling our small crap-tastic house here we could afford a ginormous house on an acre of land with a pool in Phoenix.

* Said house would not be on a goddamn fault line, and, as such, may have a basement or an attic.

* Regarding the EI…
- She has a 82% chance of pitching a fit and refusing to move with us, opting instead to move to a commune somewhere near Seattle.
-She has an 18% chance of coming along and leaving the scum she hangs out with now. After which she has a 50/50 shot of finding nice or not nice friends.
I like those odds!

* Since we'd be paying cash for the house, we'd have more money left over in general, which means Kasan and the Rev could and would contribute to plane tickets ^_^.

* Bigger Kitchen. Enough said.

* Phoenix has a notorious cottage porn industry.

* I could have two bedrooms. One for my ponies and books, and one for me <3. And maybe one to write in too!



Cons

* While the idiot ratio would decrease, there are more rednecks in phoenix :P.

* The climate still wouldn't be my idea of nice. However, we could afford to run the air conditioning ALL THE TIME.

* Less anime goodies available nearby. That's OK, I've got JPQ.

* More vacuuming. Vacuuming is the only part of cleaning I dislike.

* I'd also have to change my address on… well, a lot of places!

* Moving sucks.


In conclusion, I think I may hang around a little while longer, see what happens.

And now, Making Edible Lunches Out of Stuff You Find Lying Around in the Fridge Presents... Oca Boca!

I'm not going to lie to you. This dish looks like dogfood. However, it's delicious, easy to make, versatile, and satisfying. Taking thos attributes into account, it's actually a good thing it looks so unappetizing, because then you won't have to worry about pesky housemates trying to steal your Oca Boca. The name "Oca Boca" is a cutesy shortening of "Oh my god what the fuck have you done to the Boca crumbles!?"


Ingredients

* 1 Cup of your favorite vegetarian meat-substitute crumble. I like to use Boca brand (obviously) but other kinds are fine. Slightly more than a cup of ground meat could work too I guess (it cooks down more).

* Less than a cup of cheese, ground or crumbled. Using shredded, grated or sliced cheese will produce a gummy texture, so, if available, cheese that isn't shredded, grated or sliced is best. Also, you can use cottage cheese if you drain it first.

* Tomato juice. Or something vaguely tomato juice like, such as V8, Tomato soup, bloody mary mix <--- my favorite.

* Seasonings; included if you use Bloody Mary Mix


Equipment

* Saucepan
* Spatula
* Pale/bowl [optional, you can eat it out of the pan if you like]
* Fork or spoon to eat with. Chopsticks will not work. Oca Boca is not a finger food.


1- Cook the crumbles [or meat] in the pan until they are defrosted or [cooked as the case may be].

2- Turn the heat to low and pour on the tomato juice. You want to add about 1/4 cup and stir. Repeat this until your crumbles are juicy, but not soupy.

3- Add the cheese. If using crumbles or chunks, warm, but do not melt them completely. If using anything else, you will make mush. But that's OK, because the mush will still taste good.

Serve. Mmm. Oca Boca.

Variations

* Use a stiff mexican cheese and top with sour cream for a Texmex treat. Ole! Other mexican spices and toppings are good too.
* Swiss cheese + ranch dressing + role = hot turkey, ranch and swiss sandwich if you don't have any turkey.
* Make it soupy and throw it on top of some leftover pasta. Yummy.

The CV webpage has just been updated!

http://www.angelfire.com/realm3/crushedviolets/

Update includes CV20, CV 21, Niji 3, and the most fucked up omake ever written!

http://www.angelfire.com/realm3/crushedviolets/Omake/nether.txt

Go on! Read it. You know you want to <3.

Also, have made additions to the BB section and reorganized the psychics one.

It won't shut up. The whining! The bitching!

Oh, and it just threatened to hit me in the face too. Would that it would do that ONCE when I had witnesses I'd slap it's ass with a restraining order.

I hate it. It is my sister. It is also grounded for a week which means I should work now when it is having a fit or else fight it for the computer.

It's just one of those days...

Bah, serves me right. The first day of spring break and wouldn't you know the EI and Kasan are going at it. I'd give this fight an eleven out of ten so far. It may still be going on, or it might not. I've put in my earplugs, donned my headphones and fired up the CD player. Ah, thank whatever powers there are for Chicane.

*mellow*

Kinda freaky though I can't hear myself type when I'm set up like this. I just hear music; lovely, non-annoying music. You'd think I'd be pissed just knowing that they're downstairs having it out, but I'm not. This has been going on too long for me to have overlooked the fact that it's ultimately insignificant in the scheme of things. No matter what's said or alleged, the EI will continue to be unbearable for the most part and Kasan will be her hippie self. Frankly I don't care what they think of each other. I am neutral. I am Switzerland. I have the lowest blood pressure of anyone in the house.

Oh, and did I mention the EI's secret plan to move out of the house shortly after secretly purchasing her own car? (Seems she's got a few grand stowed in her bank account- she showed me the statement -which she means to use in covertly purchasing a cheap car. I assume the money is from babysitting.) She then means to load said car with her friends, thereby presumably leaving most of her junk for me to sell off and her room for me to turn into a pony paradise ^_^V. I think she's still going to Seattle. Frankly, as long as she's out of the house, it's all good.

If anything, the fight may promote her desire to flee. Yeah baby. Yeah.

Anyway, Thursday was Persian New Year. I smoked a hookah! There wasn't anything interesting in it, just apple-flavored dried fruit and herbs. There was also delicious food, some surprisingly good Persian techno and a bunch of people who I actually knew somewhat who all wanted to talk and be entirely too cheerful. All and all, it was a nice change as much as I like being alone in the quiet.

I guess I'm going to go work on the CV pages then. In the mean time, I'm going to try and write awhile- probably the next ficlet or some CV- CV coming along splendidly and all, as is "Cruelty For It's Own Sake", kurenai_bara's and my not-CV-related AU Weiss Fic. Which is about to turn into a mad sex fest.

In the mean time, "Saltwater" just came on. Gotta dance!

*mellow, but dancing*

PS- Just got a webcam. Kasan and the Evil Aunt were hamming it up yesterday. I'll take my next piccie special with it.

So, anyway, after we got the new washer yesterday (the old one exploded, I don't remember if I mentioned that or not but it did) the EI and I were camping out waiting for attend to out respective baskets, when I decided to print off for her the thread started by a very bad X-files fic she found which I submited to Smartania.com for a lark (and because of her insistence that it was a rip-off also of a book which did not deserve to be harmed).

http://pub9.ezboard.com/fthechurchofxfrm33.showMessage?topicID=188.topic

After she got done reading it, it was time for me to put my wash in the drier. Just before that, my Crim teacher called to inquire as to my passport number. So there I was, loading to the drier and the EI decides to chat...

EI: What was that about?

Kwobt: My Crim teacher needed my passport number.

EI: O_O? How come?

Kwobt: We're going on a field trip and need ID to get in where we're going. I don't have a driver's liscence, you know.

EI: Oh. Where ya goin'?

Kwobt: Juvenile correctional facility.

EI: Really? Which one?

Kwobt: Joplin I think.

EI: Oh, say hi to Collin for me.

Kwobt: Oh, OK I... Eh?

EI: My friend Collin. He's in there *nods*.

Just like that! As if there was nothing at all strange about her FRIEND being in a kiddie jail XD.

It's 90 degrees here. The washer is broken so I'm down to my third choice shirts and wearing the same bra I wore yesterday. New washer expected tomorrow, which means Thursday. I couldn't sleep last night because Kasan once again renounced the air conditioning just because it's March- well, I did take the time to fill out some papers, so at least it wasn't a complete waste of time.

The good news is CV26 and "Cruelty for It's Own Sake" are coming along nicely, as is the site redesign for the CV pages.

In the mean time, have some pre-release Niji ^_^.

http://www.angelfire.com/realm3/crushedviolets/Niji/Niji3_1_.txt

Today, my mother saw fit to post on the refrigerator an article the local newspaper ran regarding some teenage girl who is "raising falcons" in a nearby canyon. First of all, I fail to see how this was in any way newsworthy, let alone how any scene kid (the article included a picture in which the girl in question was clad thusly), let alone one who claimed to have little time for extra curricular activities (in the damn article) and who lives in a place known to be brimming with weed-saturated brats who consider sex and bitching constantly to be higher priorities than "homework" and "bathing" could possibly do even a half-assed job taking care of anything more complicated than a fungal growth.

So, I ran off a "better" headline.

Stupid Emo Chick Charged With Abuse in Falcon Case: Authorities "Shocked and Appaled" By What They Found" not to mention an article.

The Trabuco Canyon police department today released shocking new details concerning the alleged "Falcon Case" in which teenager Sina McGriff was charged with aggravated assault, emotional abuse and maltreatment of an animal for subjecting a bird of prey to the so-called "Emo Lifestyle".

After Wednesday's shocking press release in which the bird Hekla claimed to have been dressed in tacky plaid pants, subjected to 50+ hours of constant replays of the band Envesance's only CD and used on numerous occasions as a facial tissue, the authorities have made public several photographs accidentally taken by McGriff's companions as they were attempting to photograph their own soft-core porn for the internet site www.nakedemochicks.com. These photographs appear to show McGriff alternately fitting Hekla for small, black-rimmed "Emo Glasses" and taping headphones to the bird.

Following the release of the photographs, Hekla held a third press-conference in which she appealed to the audience to report cases of "Emo abuse" which involve birds of prey. SAENN [Scene and Emo National Network] estimates only 20% of such cases are reported each year and have praised Tekla for her willingness to speak publicly on such a "secretive" crime.

The suspect's mother, Helga Thordarsen, has also been charged with failure to report abuse. She told the associated press that she "had no idea [Sina] had done anything to harm Tekla, let alone force that vile music her friends like on her."

The Emo or Scene lifestyle affects millions of young people cross country and involves repeated listening to atonal and depressing music, whining about all aspects of one's life nonstop and dressing like a goth scottsman.

Well, I've managed to recover from my head wound. There are no more magic butterflies for me. I blame the stars turning into magic butterflies on the fact the EI and I finally got around to watching the Cowboy Bebop movie last night. Erm, one of them. For some reason I seem to recall that there are actually two of them. Anyway, the butterfly one rocks *_*. Not to mention inspired in my the idea for a simple, yet intriguing novel which I am going to start on. I should be done with it tomorrow upon hurling it against the wall. Do wish me luck!

My cat is being absolutely wretched, the washer mysteriously broke this morning and there have been no further reports of teahouse-dwelling Weiss. I am considering tearing up the CV site in the name of a redesign that would make it possible to access all possible fics from one nifty page- no subpages and such.

I have two letters for school to type tonight and much fic to beta. I would have gotten some of that done last night, but managed to fall asleep. There was a thunderstorm and I mistakenly thought lying down on the bed to listen to it was a good idea.

As yesterday was St. David's day, I celebrated by sniffing some daffodils and reading Dylan Thomas as the rain poured against my window. I would have watched the Cowboy Bebop movie too, but the EI and I were both smothered with homework. Also, CV part 25 is now finished, which can only be a good thing.

Last night, I had a strange dream about Disneyland opening an in-park teahouse. While there, patrons were expected to participate in random pseudo-intellectual group discussions. Not doing so, having bad table manners, or not finishing one's plate resulted in getting demerits. People with ten demerits were forced to leave. All this would have been well and good except that I was there with Weiss and my aunt and breeder cousin were sitting at another table.

Anyway, I was in the process of reprimanding Ken for something (were were behaving as if I was a producer and the four chaps were actors in my employ) when I was called upon to join a discussion regarding the moon. I excused myself by saying "I was contemplating the nature of stupidity" or something like that which, while off-topic, was deemed witty enough to bypass the demerit rule. Ken of course got very angry that I brought it up while speaking to him. Meanwhile, someone (I half think it was Youji) began to sing the "We like the moon" song from Rathergood.com.

Anyway, by the middle of our meal we already had three demerits owing to bad table manners and the fact our waiter repeatedly refilled out biscuit plate, making it impossible for us to finish them. As we were being served cheese and crackers, tomato and macaroni, it came to our attention that there was a banquet being served to a visiting cardinal. Why there was a cardinal in a Disneyland teahouse, I don't know, but nonetheless we resolved that, because of our three undeserved demerits, we would later go into the banquet hall and steal some food for the way home. Luckily, I woke up before that happened.

This morning as I was getting out of the car, it started to pour. In attempting to help myself to an umbrella from the trunk, I hit my head on the door and saw stars, not to mention forgot to get an umbrella out. The Campus Crusade for Christ is getting on my nerves, so I xeroxed the "You Are Wrong Because" list and filled it out regarding why their objection to same-sex marriage is illogical and wrong. I mean to tape it to their sign. Also, I am presently perfecting a generic fanfic flame for all interested parties- you just check what applies rather than waste your time writing a review ^_^.
