Don't Ask

Whoa... too much time out of the loop. Got to get back into the swing of things and whatnot, fire up the 'ol tablet and break out the storyline notes. I've got things to say, and I've got my way back to say them. Boo-YAH, yo. Time to get this mess of molecules that is my brain fired the hell up ::grin::
Not a whole lot going on in the land of Annie - thanks to my dear web guy Josiah, I've acquired myself a webcam (which will, perhaps to the disappointment of some, not be publicly utilized. Sorry.), which is interesting, and the particular minutiae of placement and all that jazz what comes with getting one - and so forth. Scrambling to put something good together to begin my honors project from all the scattered ramblings of my mind and my readings so far, and suchlike. Interesting but frustrating, as many things are. Otherwise engaged in the usual college senior bidness, and the usual sketchings and scribblings. ::smile:: Oh yes. And I received the original copy of the lovely fanart by Jena Lombardi that I got a short while back: I should've put it in a folder or something to keep it safe, but I couldn't bear the thought of sealing it away. And thus, like a true fangirl, it is now on my wall. Thanks again, Jena. You, verily, rock the house.
Ah yes: nearly forgot. Took in some nice gaming on the first of Macalester's monthly "ELF" (a.k.a. fuckload of console gaming) parties, where there was the following:
* a Playstation with "Dance Dance Revolution: Konamix" and two dance pads
* a PS2 with "State of Emergency"
* not one but TWO X-Boxes, upon which a badass game of 8-player Halo Deathmatch was commenced, ruled over by the fragging fist of James "DeathJesus"
* a GameCube with "Super Smash Bros Melee" and "Super Monkey Ball 2"
So yeah. Much goodness. I sampled many of these fine choices, and left pleased overall except my lackluster performance at Super Monkey Ball 2 - I can't understand my incompetence in the critical gameplaying genre of monkeys in balls - where I (and pretty much every poor bastard what played with me) was completely and totally 0WNXX0RD by Devin "Fuck Your Shit Up With Monkeys." Seriously, challenging this man in Monkey Boxing will be the last damn thing you EVER do. Honest. Second only to playing Smash Bros. Melee with DeathJesus himself, James "Zelda Is My Bitch" (never let it be said that I don't recognize L33tness properly). There was all that - plus my short reign of 0WNXX0Ring everyone at Smash (before James "Kick Your ASS" came along) - as well as everyone's shocked reaction to State of Emergency. I seriously don't know how Rockstar Games can get away with the things they do. "Oh, you spend the whole game breaking things and killing people? Hmm, one of the best weapons in the game is a severed head? Oh, okay, I see. ::pause:: No, wait. WHAT? What the FUCK? *WHAT?*" After about a half-hour of this, we just sat in silence and enjoyed the game, especially that one part with that one character where you can break a guy's arm, flip his little body like a rag doll, and break the other one. Mom, keep this away from the kids. And Dad too, now that I think about it. And the dog. Wow. Eek.
Okay. More interesting things.
* So, my friend Annie (no relation) just sent me this particular link. It's funny, extremely strange, and vaguely unnerving. Look at the "Bathing" section. I'm not kidding. Honestly. I don't know how she finds this shit, but I have faith in the person who brought me to the "Extreme Ironing" link. You should too.
* Yay, more apology art. This one is the inspiration to the short but accurate Evangelion strip (which my friend Doc will doubtlessly shortly testify to). Enjoy.
* As a side note, I've been listening to a lot of Coldplay lately - you may know their big hit, "Yellow," that I adore - and have been very much impressed with them. If you want to check our their lyrics, I highly recommend it. I wish I could write stuff that good.
* A small scribble that I did one day - again, after watching too much Trigun - of a more serious-looking Blue dressed up in Vash the Stampede's (main character) costume and wielding his gun. I like it, no matter how unnerving this version of Blue in a man's costume is... what can I say? I just like Trigun. It, as a series, truly R0XX0RS. Check it out if you can.
Well, that's it for me tonight - take care you crazy fools out there in Readerland.
Likes music, likes to dance,
Annie "Blue" VM
On and on from the moment I wake,
To the moment I sleep,
I'll be there by your side,
Just you try and stop me
- Coldplay
"Shiver"
