First order of business: NIISAN IS FLIPPIN' BACK FROM HIS MISSION ASDFGHJKL
Yeperdoodles, he returned to Utah a few days ago, which makes me happy even though I wasn't physically there to greet him... Though my sister was. There's a video and pic of my sis giving him a hug for the first time in two years. It's a bit of a tear-jerker.
I know that time generally passes by fast and two years out of who knows how long my life will be is really not that much... But knowing he's done and hearing his voice and stuff is just like "Oh my gosh, I almost thought the day wouldn't come."
Apparently, the plan now is to move at the end of the month (so I have to deal with end-of-semester exams and projects anyways... *tear*), so that I can finally go to the cool school, even though technically my dad hasn't actually landed a job yet. It's really hard to determine what will happen until he gets hired by somebody.
So, today I'm wearing the tie (I was gonna on Friday, but it was Spirit Week, and I had to dress a certain way, and bringing a tie wasn't the best idea) for the final time. In the case of the 15th of every month thing, at least, I mean. I might wear it a few times in the future just for the heck of it. (I sure hope once we get to actually see Niisan, I can ask him how to tie a tie again... I kept trying some days ago, and for some reason I could only manage to tie it backwards... It's supposed to be forwards.)
Second order of ze biz: famous people died! *collective gasp*
You know David Bowie, right? Yup, him.
And then one or two days later, Alan Rickman (AKA Severus Snape AKA the villain in the first Die Hard movie). Mhm.
Both died from cancer (and, at least for Bowie, no one had known he had cancer, he was fighting it silently- and, of course, a week earlier he'd apparently released a song about being in heaven, which is clearly not a coincidence).
Okay, look at this. Because of the book Wonder, I got obsessed with "Space Oddity" a few months ago. And I'd insisted in watching Die Hard during Winter Break last month.
Why does this keep happening? It was the same with El Chavo! The moment after I'd truly come to appreciate their work (or at least one of their works), the person poofs away. I'm starting to think maybe I should just avoid watching older movies and listening to older songs so that I don't feel like it's my fault if they died...
This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door...
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows...
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?...
There's nothing I can do...
I feel inclined to propose the idea of learning how to do this song with Coatrack. He might like learning the guitar for it, and I could just practice more the vocals... And, though I haven't mentioned it (or at least in a long time), I wanna finish the mashup of "Sunshine and City Lights" and "Fix You". Maybe I sing more the lyrics for the former and him the latter? We could call it "The Sunshine and City Lights Will Fix You" or a shortened version of that title. It'd be so great to figure out how to do the entire mashup well.
Ugh... So, I believe I've said something before about the projects in my Child Development class, right? There's a final project, and it's kinda hard. Mainly cuz I'm not entirely sure how to do it. And the girls in my group haven't exactly helped much. So fantastic.
I mean, I'm not entirely sure if I'm doing it right! What if I wasn't supposed to make an entire piñata? What if what I have written down for the lesson plan (which is harder than the piñata itself) is really bad? I don't remember that well what I should be writing! GAH, I should've taken a pic of the example when I had the chance!!! *Titan Eren roar* (That reminds me- I've been practicing again the raps.)
That probably didn't make much sense, but I just don't even want to go through the effort of explaining what this project is. Just know I'm not enjoying it.
Except for the paper-mâché-ing. That part's kinda fun.
Last thing, I think... I don't think I have touched on the Ishvalan!Winry idea I came up with a few weeks ago. I've seen stories where Trisha was Ishvalan, and so the Elrics are part Ishvalan... which just gets weirder since they're alchemists... and they have to go around hiding their appearance, which can't exactly be that easy without color contacts existing.
But I was thinking about this and wondering "What would happen if it wasn't Trisha that was Ishvalan?" and I suddenly thought of the Rockbells, rather than the Elrics, being Ishvalan. So, I wrote some scenes of what would happen with Sara Rockbell being from Ishval and, thus, Winry being half-Ishvalan. Things got more difficult for her than I imagined they'd be. Though I really don't know how she'd react to Scar, in that case. If I get inspired to write more for this AU, I'll try to figure that out.
I said earlier I'd try to get more prompts. One friend gave me two that were quite difficult for FMA ("Pacific"? Really? I guess I should've specified more what kinds of words I needed) and I sent a prompt to someone else- "underwear"- that I decided to try myself also. I've gotten the farthest with "underwear", but it's an idea completely unrelated with anything, so... Butt. Eh, at least I'm getting something down on paper (er, iPod/OpenOffice/Google Drive). And I'd thought of a small detail to add to WFAM. Ooh, there's something to do with WFAM that I think will be ready for next week, so I hope it comes out okay...
WAIT NOPE NOT LAST THING I was invited to a new RP forum by a guy who'd actually found my old RP forum... Wow, it feels like that'd been so long ago... After I joined the new place, I decided that after so long of avoiding I'd go look at what was in the old. I noticed some things I didn't know or didn't remember:
1. Things between Darkrai and Vibraknife were bad. I felt hurt by the stuff they were saying to each other- it wasn't even insults directed at me, and I got hit with the blow anyways. I can't believe both decided to stick around despite it; I don't know if it was just for my sake or they actually liked the forum besides their fights.
2. I was bossy and a bit of a jerk. Really, we were all kinda jerks, but I was most surprised by what I said. I like to think of myself as a nice girl... and that's kinda the general consensus, as far as I know. But in my effort to be a leader and take charge of the forum, I said things a bit harsher than I think I'd do in real life (except for the times I'm really ticked off). I was saddest to see I sometimes actually wrote something that didn't sound too nice to Darkrai, even though he was my friend! Some of it came off differently than I'm guessing I thought it sounded in my head at the time, but that kind of thing happens a lot when typed down instead of actually said. But other stuff... I don't think I would've said it out loud, but when you're on the Internet you just feel more freedom to say what you think, and that can sometimes be a bad thing. This was one of the cases of it being a bad thing. Later, I actually sent an apology to Darkrai privately, who never commented on it. I don't know if it actually meant anything to him.
3. I remember that at one point I'd given up on checking on whether people came back to the forum, because it'd suddenly had no activity or at least a week. And coming back now... I realized my friends actually did come back some point after that and tried to keep it going a leetle bit longer, even though I wasn't there... So now I feel horrible. Though, considering all of our attitudes on there, maybe it was actually for the best to stop using the forum sooner. Some fun stuff happened there, but it wasn't as sunshine and rainbows as it should've been.
Speaking of, this new forum actually has some drama, too...
I wanna try to get back into the RP game, but I've been worried for a few reasons. I haven't RPed in a long time, besides the PMs where we just do random things interacting with FMA characters. So far, all the active RPs have a complicated backstory and I'm worried I won't understand what I'm supposed to do. This ain't just being random. I haven't RPed as very many characters, and none of them seem to fit well into anything that's going on.
I kinda wanna suggest doing one of the simpler, easier RPs, but I don't know if the people at this forum will actually like it, and I don't know if the admin of the forum will be offended by me showing that I'm not into what they do and think I'm trying to make it something different to my taste and that if I don't like this forum then I should just go to one that actually has what I want and... yeah. I don't know if I should suggest or not. *nervous sweat*
ALL THE INDECISION FOR EVERYTHING! ALL THE WRITER'S BLOCK! WHYYYYYYY I'm done here.
[Addition: a friend recommended RWBY to me, and I've watched most of what's on Netflix. I don't really know how to describe it, but I will say that the fight scenes are awesome. Amazing. Seriously.]
