| The playlist I've put together for the Ad Libitum RP. Any suggestions (or if anyone wants to make a CD cover)?
| |
|
| Well, the Ad Libitum RP is still as dead as ever. Where is everybody? Well, at least the mod put up a character request meme, so hopefully we'll get some more players. I sure hope we can get another Yuan. And I sure hope the new mun would play him in the same manner. Natalia was also requested in the meme. I can only imagine how Jay would react when he sees Asch loving all over her. He wouldn't stoop as low as to get in their way, but it'll leave him wishing for his own love to come to him... It might give me a chance to see how Jay/Natalia would work out, although I've sort of lost interest in that pairing since joining the RP... And cripes...I never thought I'd see Asch of all people in a pose like this...  | |

| Well...nothing out of the ordinary is going on. Last night was busy, 'cause we only had one CSM. Ashley had Friday and Saturday off to party with her hubby. (They said the other CSM was going to call out for that reason, but she didn't. So I guess the rumor was wrong.) Samantha had a customer pissed at her because she couldn't buy wine after midnight. As for me, they just had me throwing freight in HBA after lunch. At least there was someone there to work with....unlike the other night, when they had me work the stationery freight. They told me I was to help someone there, but no one was there, so I had to work the shit by myself. And the asst mgr threw a fit because I didn't even get one pallet done. But all that was left was several huge boxes of printer paper, a big safe, several boxes that don't belong, and some overstock. And the asst mgr told me that she would worry about the printer paper. So if the other stuff really matters, then I suppose it's true that I didn't get the pallet done. My response: This is why I am a cashier and not a stocker. Harumph!!
Anyway, here's a video of my brother and me. We've had a lot of bizarre interactions, and this is one of them. Here, we're talking to each other in these crazy voices. My brother talks in this voice whenever he wants to be silly, and it always cracks me up. So we decided to record this video while talking in these voices...

| Well, this comes as a complete surprise. Geode, the main antagonist for Radiant Mythology 2 has showed up. The mun says he won't be a full villain, but he certainly won't be joining the guild. He could get in the way, as he's attacking the World Tree in an intense emo frustration. It'll be interesting to see what he does and how it'll affect the RP events.
But the other disappointing announcement is that the mod decided to drop Yuan. She doesn't feel comfortable with her characterization (but I liked her portrayal of him). So this pretty much blows the potential Jade/Yuan/Jay quest that we've been talking about. What's even worse is that I just joined the Tales of the Abyss community and got one member hyped up about the Jade/Yuan pairing. Perhaps I'll ask him if he wants to take over the role. If not, perhaps we'll end up doing the quest with Kratos instead of Yuan.
And finally, I've given up on the idea of applying as Stella. I just don't have enough info on her to make a decent application. | |

| Well, after being on vacation for a week, I come home to a slew of problems. On my way out to work for the first time, the ice maker tube thingie cracks, so now it's just pouring water onto the ground. I tried some kind of sealing tape, but it didn't work too well. And then my aunt tells me that I need a tire rotation and an alignment. How does she see these things? I don't see anything wrong with my tires...
For the Ad Libitum RP, I'm considering the idea of applying as Stella. If nothing else, the game desperately needs more healers. So far, we only have Tear, and then we have Flynn, Zelos, and Shirley, who aren't very active at all. Although the game doesn't show much of Stella's powers, I'd think that she'd at least be able to heal, if she doesn't have the same spells as Shirley. So I might use Stella solely as a healer. And Jay is really hoping for someone else from the Legacy to appear, even if it's someone who's died and he hardly knows. He'd be great with Shirley...but she really needs to post.
It makes me wonder how Jay x Stella would pair up? Well, I could only play it by ear, but at the same time, I'll have to keep their interaction to a minimum. It would be weird to roleplay with yourself, wouldn't it? Which is why I have hesitations about applying for Stella...or any second character for that matter. The desire to have them interact with my Jay... - Tags:rp

| Well, things are pretty much back to normal now. I made it back home safely with less trouble than I expected. The directions that my aunt left me to get home from the airport were helpful.
I found it odd that the RP saw little to no activity during my vacation. I had announced a semi-hiatus in the OOC community, expecting to have to wait to borrow someone else's computer, but my dad had set up his extra laptop for me to use while I was visiting. But it turned out that everyone else in the RP had taken a hiatus. And now that I'm back home, the RP activity patterns are back to normal, including the lack thereof on weekends. How weird is that?
I have a few new Ad Libitum RP pairings to speak of now. Jade x Rita is shaping up to be pretty interesting. Two intellectual mages, an old man and a young girl. Since Jade already has a fan-supported pairing with Anise, another little girlie mage, a thing with Rita could very well arise.
And then there's Jay x Cantabile. So far Jay compares Cantabile to Chloe, another "noble military lunatic." And to Cantabile, Jay is just a runt up to no good. Honestly, Jay just happens to be in a naughty mood, pulling pranks on the drunkards at the inn, and bickering with Cantabile. At the same time, Jay is turned on by Cantabile's confidence, and desires a competition with her. So it'll be interesting to see them test each other, to see how well they can back up their words.
And I'm pleased to see that Jay x Asch is getting a little bit of heat as well, heh heh. Sorry, no sex. The content in this RP shall be kept PG-13 rated or lower.
I hope to see the overall plot of the RP make some progress as well, as I've been discussing it with the other muns. I do look forward to the upcoming quest involving Jade, Yuan, and Jay. =D | |

| Well, the last few days have been fairly uneventful. We went to the arcade at the mall, which had previously shut down, and then reopened under a new name. Well, it wasn’t any better than the previous one. The games were still old, and not a great selection to choose from. And worse, they had their own special tokens rather than regular quarters. I used a $5 bill for tokens, and now I have leftovers. What am I gonna do with all these leftover tokens?
We did go to IHOP this morning for breakfast, where the service sucked. We waited quite a while to be served, and even longer to get our food. There were only two sets of silverware, when there were four of us. We had to grab sweetener and ketchup from other tables. The food was good, though; I had the sirloin tips with onions and mushrooms, which also came with hash browns, eggs, and pancakes. Quite a big meal. I had to skip the hash browns.
We also had to set up our plans for the rest of the week, because it’s supposed to rain. The weekend was supposed to have good weather. So we decided on the Baltimore Aquarium for tomorrow, and the Gettysburg ghost tour for the weekend. We decided to replace Busch Gardens with Kings Dominion because it’s closer. It’s fine with me. We still don’t know when we’ll go there, however.
On the bright side, I found the song I’d been looking for that I mentioned the previous Sunday when I called out of work. It’s “Never Too Late” by Three Days Grace. It was playing on the radio when we came out of IHOP. So I listened for the lyrics, then did a search online. Not surprisingly, the lyrics I had heard in the store were off a little. I’ll even attach it from imeem.

| The drive to Luray Caverns was two hours long. My dad played the books on tape as he likes to do for those long road trips. I don’t like books in any form, so luckily I packed my Zune to drown out the noise.
We got to the caverns, where the parents “understood” that I had my own money, so they made me pay for my own ticket. No problem, really. However, as I stood at the ticket counter digging through my purse…I couldn’t find my MoneyCard! The card with the $300 or so that my aunt had given me for this trip…oh, I was so fucked. Of course my mind flashed back to the last time I had used the card. It was at the airport, where I had to pay for them to take my luggage. So I thought that perhaps I dropped the card into my Quickpad case along with the itinerary papers. And the Quickpad was still in the car. Thankfully I had some cash on me, and the ticket price was affordable. But I was in big trouble if I couldn’t find the MoneyCard.
After the tour, we got back into the car, and I immediately searched my Quickpad case for the card…it wasn’t there. Oh shit! So I tried digging in my purse once more, and I saw something in the small zipper pocket. I reached in and pulled out my MoneyCard! Praise the Lord, I’m saved!
As for the Luray Caverns themselves, I really can’t describe it in words. They gave us headphones attached to a device. Along the tour, there would be signs with a 3-digit code into the device, and we would hear the information. I declined to listen to it, however. It was hard enough to walk up and down the steps wet slopes while keeping my camera at a decent vantage point. There were some dark spots…this is where I wish the equipped LED light would come in handy. But it really doesn’t do jack. Although I do find it odd that the still shots often come out brighter than shown in the preview screen. That might be the LED’s work, but why doesn’t it work in video mode?
I’ve taken some pictures, but the video would be better to show. I may wait ‘til I get home to show them, however.
I know this looks like some robot with evil eyes and a crazy grin, but it's actually some kind of organ.
My mom has to work for the next two days, so I reckon we’ll be sitting around the house. They did mention a boat tour, so we might do that with Dad. - Mood:giddy

| Made it to Maryland with a giant headache. Didn't do much other than watch Ghost Adventures and then take a long nap... I finally got to meet the dog Blitz. He's a cute and playful little thing. The cats aren't as skinny as they used to be. Even Sukie isn't so skinny anymore. Salem seems to have adopted my open suitcase as his new bed.
Tomorrow our plan is to visit the Luray Caverns. Hopefully I'll have pics and videos available. | |

| This is not good...between having a congested chest and nose, and being irked with the job in general, I decided not to go in tonight. I called Walmart's information hotline thinger, where you have to confess all your sins and obtain a confirmation number, and then they transferred me to the store to talk to a manager. I talked to the fitting room lady a.k.a. the receptionist and gave her the confirmation number. Then she put me on hold...and then there was silence.
This confirmed something I had noticed...they don't have music on the PA speakers anymore. Yeah, when they put you on hold, you hear what's being played on the speakers (minus the various store pages). But they don't do that anymore. Which makes me sad, because there was one particular song I've been hearing, and I wanted to know what it was. The only lyrics I was able to make out were, "When I hear you say...everything's all right." I've searched the lyrics sites for the song based on those lyrics, but no luck. And now I can't even hear the song anymore. 
I waited and waited for a manager to pick up...but they never did. So oh well...they have my confirmation number in the book. My lungs feel full of crap, and yet I can't cough and hack like I want to. I'm also irked to be sick now, so close to vacation time. I hope I get over this thing (and this cold sore) before then.
Speaking of confessing my sins...I need a new church schedule...or at least a readjustment in my schedule somewhere. The Sunday morning class/service isn't working for me anymore. I can't stay awake, and really can't afford the extra gas to drive to that church. So I've been thinking of possible options...and their cons, which include...
- Attending the Wednesday night service...which wouldn't save any gas if I have to go back home and pick up Samantha.
- Attending the Sunday night service...which starts at 6 p.m., and maybe doesn't include the class. Driving on to Yulee would be a long time to hang out before clocking in, and losing more sleep.
- Attending one of the churches here in the town. There's one at the end of the road where I live, and another one down the road from Connie's Pizza. But I really like Ephesus, and really don't want to go to a new church...
But the best bet would be to go back to the day shift at Walmart. Assuming they can give me all evening shifts as they had implied, it would make it a lot easier to attend the Sunday morning service. It would leave about two hours to hang out in Yulee, so it's not too bad. I'll still need to talk to the boss about the shift change. I don't know how much longer it'll be before I can switch to days. So until then, I don't know what to do about going to church...
For now, I'll just get back into bed... 
So while I indulge in chicken soup, kleenex and thermometers, enjoy my latest piece of creativity. An animated music video based on the Ad Libitum RP that I'm in. | |
