Fandom List [24 Jan 2010|08:13pm]
[ mood | blah ]
[ music | Tales of the Abyss opening theme ]

...Cause I want to keep track of them. xD This list is as chronological as my memory will allow (and as I have a poor memory when it comes to my own life... don't take it too seriously). It spans about 5-7 years currently. I will add on to the list as I gain new fandoms. And just because it's on this list, doesn't mean that I'm active in it.

( long list )

On my can of diet Dr. Pepper, it says this:

"Mutt and Spalko duel... atop a speeding Russian convoy!"

However, when I first read it, I read it like this:

"Mutt and Spalko duel... atop a speeding Russian cowboy!"

You can only IMAGINE the doubletake I did at that. xD;;

melancholy under the summer sun // an original mix [08 Jul 2008|03:55pm]
[ mood | creative ]
[ music | melancholy under the summer sun ]

I've always wanted to create an FST, but never found any inspiration, and anything I would have wanted to try... was already covered 23432 times. Plus, finding the right songs? Difficult as hell.

Then I decided to just create my own original mix. I've noticed that although summer is "supposed" to be about fun, upbeat songs, these past few weeks I kept finding myself drawn to really... slow, sad ones, ones that seem to hit you in the gut when you stay up late at night listening to them. So I chose that as the theme.

When deciding how long it should be, I looked at the calendar and counted: 10 weeks until I go to Santa Cruz. And that's when I knew, the mix should only be 10 songs... because after all, the main source of my melancholy is this slow, drawn out wait. The mix also includes two shoutouts to the two main people who have really made this wait so much more tolerable (not that there aren't more, of course - I don't mean to exclude. maybe in the next mix I'll give more shoutouts! ♥).

So I give you: ( melancholy under the summer sun )

I know I just posted but whatevs, have a meme guys! Taken from... all the [info]cookleta chat lawl

"Put your ipod on shuffle and post the first line of twenty songs. Then have people guess what song the lyrics are from."

1. Who would have thought that you could hurt me the way you've done it?
2. Thursday night, everything's fine except you've got that look in your eye
3. I’m full of regret for all things that I’ve done and said
4. Cause tomorrow never comes I would want just one thing
5. Got a good reason for taking the easy way out
6. When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me
7. Why drink the water from my hand? Contagious as you think I am
8. Ah, look at all the lonely people.
9. Has our conscience shown? Has the sweet breeze blown?
10. When you meet the someone who was meant for you
11. Ever since I was a little younger I always had a rhyme that I flung up
12. Sell me candy like it's summer when it's melting in my hands
13. Life a breath of midnight air Like a lighthouse Like a prayer
14. There's too many things that I haven't done yet, too many sunsets I haven't seen
15. What an amazing time what a family
16. I could tell from the minute I woke up it was gonna be a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely day
17. I, I always thought that I knew, I'd always have the right to, be living in the kingdom of the good and true
18. Mother and Child I'm such a man for a short while Promises Be The world just spins faster than me
19. Now that its over Now that you're not here I have to start over but when I begin, I'm lost inside my head
20. Beware the danger, it lurks for those who get swept away

So usually when I'm starting to get really busy/stressed, I get really inspired to write. But with finals looming in the very near future, I'm not inspired to write. Instead, I'm inspired to...

...translate?!?! XD

I just posted a Spanish song translation on [info]femme_fromage, and I'm planning to translate another Spanish song too. I'm almost finished translating a Japanese song (albeit the simplest Japanese song in the world). I'm also thinking about adding a French song to my line up just to balance things out. XD Any recommendations?

packing woes [26 Apr 2008|03:57pm]
[ mood | blah ]

Thanks for all the responses in my last post! I have slowly been making progress on my packing anc cleaning. I've cleaned a lot of the room, and have so far packed my game stuff (minus the PS2), my DVDs, and the majority of my books. I will at LEAST finish picking up my room, packing the rest of my books, and packing the clothes I'm not going to use this week today. Tomorrow will probably involve some more packing of miscellaneous stuff and then taking what I've already packed to my grandma's house. I'll have plenty of time after class on Monday too, SO I think I'm going to be able to pull this off! Haha.

Though I still need to know just how much space I'll have o.O I don't think I'll have that much room for all my stuffed animals *sobs* I don't want to just leave them behind either :( I'll figure something out, somehow.

Edit: Is this flirtatious? "If you ever plan on using the number I gave you, you better use it in this next week or you won't be able to reach me. :P *cough*hinthint*cough*" I sent it to Matt awhile ago... I'm pretty sure that it is, but now it's kinda freaking me out? Not used to flirting with people I know irl, even if I'm doing it via Myspace xD;;

I do still have some serious distraction problems though lol, like the fact that I stopped to do this meme (and this post):

OKAY SO YOU GUYS I AM HAVING A PROBLEM

A MOTIVATION PROBLEM

MORE THAN HALF OF THE DAY IS GONE AND I STILL HAVEN'T STARTED PACKING OR CLEANING OR ANYTHING

SO I WAS HOPING MAYBE YOU GUYS COULD HELP BY GIVING ME INCENTIVES

I'M NOT ASKING FOR A LOT, BUT IF YOU THINK I'M BEING LAZY AND SELFISH WELL YOU'RE RIGHT, BUT IT WOULD HELP ANYWAY.

ANYTHING AT ALL WOULD, EVEN JUST WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT OR THREATS OF HARM IF I DON'T GET OFF MY LAZY ASS SOON

You ever get in the mood where you really WANT to bitch someone out, but you don't actually want to be a bitch so you're just hoping someone will be an asshole? Yeah, I'm in one of those right now. What the hell.

On a similar note, if you feel like bitching me out, here's your chance!

Tell me what you honestly think of me. No sugarcoating, blah blah. Compliment me if you like. Leave a love ♥ confession. If I've done anything to make you angry, vent to me. Comments will be screened and anon is on, so say whatever you'd like.

god of wonders, beyond our galaxy... you are holy, holy [01 Apr 2008|12:32am]
[ mood | inspired ]
[ music | Rebecca St. James - God of Wonders ]

I've been struggling a lot lately, but I came to the realization that there is a gaping emptiness in my life, in my soul, and everything I have been doing are the WRONG ways to fill it.

Food can't do it. Fandom can't do it. Languages can't do it. Not even my lovely friends are enough.

I have known all along the only thing that can, but I have been led so astray from the truth, I had been able to fool myself for so long... but no longer.

I know now... only God can fill this emptiness. I was in the darkness for so long when the truth was so simple!

I never really listened to what the people at my old church said, because I was so stuck in my ways. Now, I know better. I'm going to return and REALLY listen to them, without letting any of my past beliefs get in the way.

I really think that they have gotten in the way of a lot of other things, too. I feel so... dirty when I look back on all that I've said, all that I've read, all that I've done. I have let sin taint my life for so long. I want to feel pure again.

Another thing I've realized is that if I truly want to be pure, then I can no longer be a part of fandom. There are too many temptations in it, and while God gives me strength, I don't know if I can overcome temptations that huge.

Because of that, and the fact that this LJ contains many vivid, detailed accounts of all the sins I've committed, I feel like I NEED to move. I already have a new LJ, [info]encielocondios. I haven't added you all there yet because this is so sudden, I want you to read this and then make the choice of whether or not you still want to be friends. While it would be painful to separate from you, I cannot force you to stay friends with this new version of me, who is quite different than the persona you have seen for so long. After all, I will be trying to purify myself, in all senses of the word.

I am sorry for this abrupt announcement, but it is something I do need to do. I hope you will follow me there, but if not, I will keep you in my prayers. ♥

LJ never fails to piss off its users, lol

This time around, it's about Sponsored Paid Accounts, which, to my understanding, are basically paid accounts that you don't pay for, but advertisers do. The catch is that there'll be a banner in the userinfo, a subtly-branded layout you have to use, and they get to "screen" your public journal.

Naturally, many people are pissed about it, but personally? I'm not. I got pissed at the removal of basic accounts, but for a different reason than just ads. Forcing your new users to either have ads or PAY is fucked up.

BUT, I'm actually all over this sponsored paid account idea. xD;; You mean I can have a paid account without having to actually pay for it?!?! SIGN ME UP! I mainly pay for an account for all the icons (and now the edit and expand comments feature; well I think they're only for paid accounts), so seeing a banner in just MY info and layout? Doesn't bother me.

And I actually think that subtly branding layouts is a much better idea than just ugly ads. o.O At least, when the layouts are done right. They had some example layouts and there was one I wouldn't mind using right now! Haha.

Basically I'm not too anal about actually seeing ads... because I recognize that LJ is a business. It was a pretty fail move though when they said the removal of basic accounts was because it was "too confusing" to have 3 options and then GIVE US ANOTHER OPTION. Really, LJ? >___>

But that's just what I think; what do you all think of the development?

LJ Content Strike [18 Mar 2008|02:32pm]


For those of you who don't already know, there has been a strike scheduled for Friday, March 21st, 2008, during which we hope to have many members of LiveJournal provide LJ with absolutely no content for twenty-four hours. This means no posting and no commenting. If you post elsewhere and have it set up to be posted through a feed on LiveJournal, don't do it. Stay away from LiveJournal for twenty-four hours. That can't be too hard, can it? I know some of you are probably quite active on LiveJournal and will find it hard to stay away for an entire day, just as I will, but this is something that needs to be done, to show the people running LiveJournal that we're watching the changes they are making, that we're paying attention, that we're discontent, and that we want to be heard and taken in to consideration. We are not simply users who can be tossed to the side and ignored. We are the people who make up LiveJournal. Without us, without the content we create, without our words, our voices, our creativity, our participation, there would be no LiveJournal. This is a fact, and it needs to be realized and understood and then taken in to consideration when making decisions regarding the way that LiveJournal is run. The strike is only a few days away, so there isn't all too much time to prepare. While this is unfortunate, it isn't enough to keep this strike from taking place. It will take place, the second it is meant to, and it would be best to have as many people take part as possible. Please, spread the word. Spread it fast. There are only a few days to organize this. If you find that you care about LiveJournal or care about the people you interact with on LiveJournal or simply want it to remain a place where you can entertain yourself without constant censorship and money-hungry practices being thrown in without the consideration of those who use the service, act now. If you don't wish to spread the word, that is fine, but please: refrain from using LiveJournal on Friday, March 21st. Do something else for a change. It's for a good cause. (:

For background on this strike and why it is being held, please read the following posts:
http://beckyzoole.livejournal.com/394838.html
http://beckyzoole.livejournal.com/395310.html

To find out exactly when the strike begins and ends, depending on where you are located, please see this:
http://beckyzoole.livejournal.com/395125.html

What's this about?

* It's about free and ad-free LiveJournal accounts being abolished for new members, ignoring the advice from the newly-formed Advisory Board.
* It's about LJ staff trying to sneak this decision in under the radar, and when people found out, telling the users it was done 'to make the signup process less confusing'.
* It's about LJ staff failing to apologize for trying to hide the facts from view and for lying about the actual reasons for their actions.
* And finally, it's about the latest decision to hide certain user interests from the list of Most Popular Interests, some of them being fanfiction, bisexuality, sex and depression. This decision was not announced or explained in any way. Users found out for themselves.
