My taste buds love Chex mix. My intestines do not.
Ow..... pain and gas and pain and stabbing pains and did I mention pan? Combine that with the tail end of womanlies uteruspunches and I am not comfy. Ugh. I think it's because there's so much air in chex mix and if I gulp it down I gulp air too. I have a similar reaction to popcorn. Lol my body is more ana than I am.
I've now read thru all the Haruka/Michiru appearances that Mangafox had in their Sailor Moon section. The anime definitely had more cuteness. Oh my girls are still very. Obviously a couple. But the teasing I like so much is mostly anime. Which is kinda strange since Haruka is never a cold character in the manga like she initially is in the anime. Ofc Haruka's coldness at first (in the anime) is caused by her trying to psych herself up to find the Talismans hiddenn in pure hearts even though taking the Talismans would cause the person's death. Haruka's pain at knowing she's required to murder... she hurts. She hurts a lot. They both do, but they have to save the world.
In the manga there is no need to find the Talismans. The Outer Senshi already have them, and always had them. Utanus and Neptune are still gruff about warning Moon to stay out of the way, but that gruffness is undercut by Uranus outright kissing Moon when they first meet while transformed. And in civilian for before they've figured out each others' identities Haruka even tugs on Usagi's hair. So there is some cuteness. I just wanted more. And the anime definitely has more Haruka/Michiru cuteness. A lot more. Let's see if I cann copypaste one even tho am on phone..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKUm58dkk9A
here's hoping I converted it away from a mobile addy correctly. I think the clips are fansubs. They match the subs I've seen and I think all subs are fansubs right now. I'm sure Peri can tell if the subs are accurate ^_^
ahh I wish I knew Japanese. I suck at languages.
today was day 1 of a much anticipated vacation. Or "stay-cation" rather. I wanted to get my fast. Few vac days before the holidays hit because no one's really allowed to leave once the retail-holiday-selling starts. I'm thinking I should double down on my writing and try to get enough words for adsense to work. Then I can relaunch my site with whatever I have to post, even if it's fanfic, and start seriously aiming to be a writer. Even if it's fanfic, I have to start somewhere. And didn't Smallville start as Superman fanfic? Because they sure changed a lot! And I read somewhere that this horrendes 50 shades of gray shit started a Twilight fanfic (wtf who writes fanfic for that shit?) So clearly it can be a starting point.
And yea I hate twilight. I have nothing against the actors. It's the characters thaat I hate. Bella is so damn blank. And stupid. And even though the story basically revolves around her, she's not very active. I swear it's all about who she's going to date. Buffy had a world to save. Bella is just blank. They should not even be in the same paragraph.
I need to try to sleep. Maybe my guts will calm down. I need to catch up on blogs too.

i want hugs
I'm unhappy. Hating work. It's been hell. A new dumbass coworker has been late multiple times and she's so stupid she actually called me up to change the paper in the cash register. The receipt tape. Yea cuz the picture on the printer wasn't enough *headdesk* combine that with her being 4 hrs late today so I was up front and got nothing done..... ugh. She was an hour late on her first day. Then there was a no show and work called her and she was all "I didn't know I had to work. I'm out of town." And she's got 2 days next week scratched off already cuz she's "not available". Ugh. And the older lady got canned after being drunk on the job so I get to handle the greeting cards aisle. Fuck! Ok...tthat would be ok if ALL I diid was the greeting cards..... since I am still expected to run up front and get makeup sales... yea I'm unhappy. Dumbass constanly interrupting doesn't help. Had another food stamp abusing fuctard come in and by 25 2-liter bottles of soda pop with food stamps. And nothing else. That's all he bought. And when I tried to eenforce corporate's limit of 10 bottles per household (or. Whatever cuz you know assholes will just send in different family members) then he threw a fit & got threatening and when he got his way he belittled me saying I'm bad at math.
The food stamp program is supposed to be used to get healthy REAL food in the hands and mouths of the poor. How the hell is Pepsi and Mountain Dew healthy? If I were to try to start a movement for welfare reform to remove soda pop from the food stamp list, would anyone care? Too many peeps seem to think that food stamps belong to the stamp user. Here's the thing.... money belongs to those who earn it. Meaning us taxpayers. Since the money was taken from us & given to the food stamp users then why can't we change the food stamp acceptance policy? We're already setting limits by not allowing food stamps to be used for toys and gaming systems.
food stamps are not earned by the user. They're earned by taxpayers and given to the user in hopes of keeping the population healthy. And wine and energy drinks can't be bought with food stamps so why is soda pop ok? It's sugar and water and artificial junk and caffeine. It's a cheap and low quality energy drink. And I'm tired of my taxes being wasted on junk by these lazy assholes. Get a damn job.
I've been drowning my sorrows in chocolate and Sailor Moon. Some very kind individuals have put the original Japanese episodes up with english subtitles. So I finally got to see Haruka and Michiru (the awful american version called them Amara and Michelle) as they were meant to be. Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune are a lesbian couple, and a damn cute one at that. The evil american version tried to make them cousins, and butchered their dialogu to hide the truth, and deleted scenes. If you know my youtube acct I faved my favs ^_^ so I could easily find the ones that made me go Awwwww the most even if onmy phone. Once I'm on computer again I'll post some links. I haven't found all the episodes but I found most of the last 3 seasons so I got enough to realize Haruka and Michiru are freakin adorable. I'll never watch the american version again. I want to learn to draw those two so I can add to the cuteness. There are some cute fanfic on fanfiction,net that I actually want to try to draw. Hah! Like I could possibly be an illustrator! Pffft wake up, Honor!
It's just that my own fanfic ideas are so visual. I'm jotting them down anyway, to see if I can figure out how to paint them with words. I do love writing, but Star Trek is easier to write than this! Wtf?! Perhaps because so much of Sailor Moon is visually based.. ever seen the cartoon? They spend way to long showing the transformations. The manga is just as visual. Huge two-page spreads per explosion. Big pictures showing new powered up costumes. Is it wrong that I prefer the anime? In the manga there is clear devotion bbetween Haruka and Michiru but the cute bantering seems to be missing. I haven't found any yet and I've gone thru half of what Mangafox has posted. My girls are there, but the cuteness is missing. In the anime the girls are teasing each other and making each other jealous sometimes. I am glad to have found the english-translated manga. It answered some questions and gave me a bit more to work with. And sometimes it has a very different storyline. But I want teasing cuteness!
ok I should try to sleep. At least my schooltime schedule is back so I will soon have days off. I must spend those days doing something. I've got 2 comic ideas that need fleshing out, a Sailor Moon fic outlined, and I have an empty notebook to maybe try my hand at real anime style drawing..... just don't ask to see it *blush*

Rest in peace, dear Tor
Lost another one today. i am sad.
Last night after the visiting dog was taken home.. mom noticed the pretty cat nicknamed Your Highness was acting strange.
Today, my brother came over unexpectedly (good thing my bedroom door has alittle hook so i get warning on those hot nights i sleep in nearly nothing) and he found Your Highness lying in my bathroom in a puddle of his own urine :'(
Tor would never have done that if he was well.
Off to the vet he went. Turns out his kidneys had completely failed. i mean completely. Poisons all through his blood. Mom thinks he hid in my bathroom to die.
And he wanted to die in my bathroom. he found going to the vet, fought the vet looking at him, fought everything.
Which is why i'm always nervous about taking a sick animal in. Can't animals die with dignity too?
So yea... I miss him. He was so full of personality. He made his displeasure very clear. he tore off wallpaper he didn't like and he knocked down half the fake ceiling in the basement. He also broke two lamps during his life.
He was only 11. And i kept forgetting that because he acted so much younger. He was King of the household and he made sure all the other cats knew it.
My baby Ryoshii is 12. Amazing how healthy she is. Sometimes I wonder if it's because she has developed a super-immune system thanks to living in my super messy room
I'm gonna go play Sims and eat chocolate.

superwoman!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3JGqRejaO4
Am on phone so here's hoping I edited that correctly.
Superwoman's newest vid is sooo funny! Maybe that's because I also have those shopaholic tendencies tho. I wanted to shop soooooo bad yesterday/last night but I played Sims instead and redid their house like 3 times. I haven't been completely lazy tho... I did finally finish a comic but I haven't done the commentary or the coding yet. But baby steps are still steps..... right?
Sooooo tired right now. Was having issues with the cellphone not lettinng me pay my bill so I had to use the real computer and since I hadn't registered before... it was one huge headache. But Allure magazine is doing the big August giveaways and they're timed so I gotta be up by noonn my time to even have a chance.
Ugh I have tried out for soooo many giveaways the past few years. Like 100s of giveaways. And I've won 3 or 4 items. 100s of giveaway forms for 4 items? Yea.... cuz it feels like shopping but it's free. I only do the freebie ones. Thus far I've won a Sally Hansen cream blush, a Redken texture spray, and a kickass Sultra straightener with heat spray and leave-in conditioner. I guess I thought it was a curling iron when I tried out for it. My hair is already straight! I kept the leave-in conditioner but gave the straightener and heat protect spray to Bro's girlfriend. She has very curly hair and loves that Sultra. So it's still getting loved ^_^
There is a Sultra curling iron listed in this month's giveaway. I read the fine print this time!
I just love makeup and hair stuff. Probably because they always fit, no matter what my weight is. And makeup is fun. I can make myself look different. The glasses limit just how transformative makeup can be, but I can still hide the dark circles and red nose and make my lips stand out.
gah I need sleep.
Dogsitting again. Not for dad... for a girl Mom babysits for during the school year. This dog is way too energetic. He's a lovebug tho... he's just too damn hyper. Wish I could get him on a treadmill to burn some of his energy off! The cats aren't very happy either, but he's been here before so the bravest 2 cats are starting to watch him from afar instead of just hiding.

period-brain sucks
R says the girl with depression got back together with her ex, so I'm still loveless. Tho I can drool over Ronson without guilt, so yay for that.
Dumbass/Princess Nepotism is taking yet another vacation. I swear it's like her 3rd one. How the hell does she have that many vacation hours? Her daddy is a manager at Presumptions R Us so maybe it's blatant favoritism?
Damn monthlies started. I slept all damn day Friday to where Mom was like "are you alive up there?" But sleeping through the worst of the cramping was nice. So I feel drained as usual. Between womanlies and work my brain is not functioning well. I even forgot my cellphone. I left it in my pyjama pants so I had no phone during work.
And the damn period-brain struck again with a homeless lip balm like thing that I couldn't find where it went and I had to put other stuff away so it went in my apron and then I forgot it. Oops. It has no home tho and now that it's here I feel bad for the thing (it's just a lip balm... it doesn't have feelings, Honor....) cuz work will just throw it away and and I want to keep it. Ugh.
Damn near took the work keys home too. Luckily I have one of those security tags on the work keys so when I beeped everyone laughed at me & I remembered to put the keys back.
Stupid period-brain.
I got my non-glitchy old Zelda cartoons running on repeat cuz they relax me a bit. I still haven't written or drawn anything new. I have been stuffing my face with Cheetos and my biggest weakness: Reeses Chips Ahoy. They are chocolate chip cookies with mini Reeses peanut butter cups in them in addition to the chocolate chips. Sinful sinful yum.
Am also trying to pay my cellphone bill on my phone but it keeps sayins my credit card is expires and when I try to update my card it says "cannot process request. Try again later"
Sigh.

I got stuck working 7 days in a row, then my 1 day off I dogsat for daddie dearest, then another 4 days. So yesterday & today are my 2 days off (when did I become fulltime? This sucks!) So ofc I slept all day yesterday, played Sims all night, and here I am still awake. I have done nothing worthwile thus far. No drawing or writing or music. Bad me. And right now I need sleep. I miss having recharge time. It is hard to be creative when I feel drained. But I'm going to have to find a way. Because what if work doesn't go back? I can't spend half my time off playing Sims! And work's pressure is only going to get worse, even if I do go back to part time. Now that the total sales at makeup counter are up, they're pushing to get a higher percentage of makeup/skincare/hair type items. In addition to the high totals. Sigh. I am actually being told to look at people with dollar signs in my eyes.
I have got to get out of there....
it is better to be poor and enjoy my work.
So I must somehow find a way to be creative and inspired even when drained from work.
*sigh*

attempting an experiment...
I just made a test youtube video and i'm trying to figure out how to upload it.
Please note the test vid is crap. i pulled my long-suffering viola out and played a few bits without practice, by ear. Also if the volume is up you might hear my cat whining in the beginning. i dunno. i heard it when for some reason the volume was uber-high when i first threw the wav file into Movie Maker. i made some fast MSPaint bitmaps to just throw into Movie Maker.
And somehow the last 3 seconds of the wav file got cut off. no idea how that happened.
Hmm... apparently Youtube has video editors? or something? I have no clue what I'm looking at.
Ok.. there's the "drag and drop" upload thingy...
ok it says it's uploaded.
pick a title.. and a pic to represent my sad little test in search results...
Ok.. apparently there's a review process or something?
they're telling me my vid will be live at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqNLAz-BUY4 when it is ready to be watched.
I am amused at the BUY4 that is in the address. There's nothing to buy here.. but plenty to laugh at!
"We have detected a way to improve your video's cropping."
That doesn't surprise me.
I don't know what I'm looking at.. so when in doubt "Revert to original"
I mean.. i intended it to go up as is cuz i don't understand the online editors and i've heard that online-edited vids will get changed sometimes if youtube coding changes. So in theory staying as close to the original "raw file" as possible will keep it as intact as possible.
In theory...
so yea... ok
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqNLAz-BUY4
that's supposed to be the test vid's location. Let me know if it shows up.. if you can hear it... basically if it works. I swear the volume is crazy. It was insanly loud when i put it into movie Maker, but soft when i played it on Media player. And my youtube preview had it at half volume. So i don't know what's going on.
And i'll worry about adsense for youtube some other time. Current goal is to figure out how to post.
