WELCOME
Welcome to my journal, and thanks for coming. This journal is not friends-only; I lock and filter only occasional entries. The content I post about varies between my personal life (school, work, friends, more school), memes, music, civil rights issues, and intense geekery that remains under a geek-only filter because I am full of nerd shame. If I already have you friended and you would like to be added to my geek filter, just comment here. Warning: you may already be on the filter. If you see posts about animu and shit, I have you added. Check here to browse my lists of series I'm familiar with and/or currently reading.

ABOUT MEI
If you check out my meme tag, you can find out some stuff about me, but I'll lay out some basics for you here as well. I'm a 23 year old gal from southern Ohio, USA who is a secular humanist Jewish lesbian feminist. I have a fiery passion for music (listening and performing), stories (reading/watching and writing), and art (enjoying and creating). My tits are huge and my hair is long. My favorite foods are matzot balls and latkes. I speak a good amount of Spanish and a passable amount of Japanese. I'm really good at sleeping a lot, getting distracted, and being judgmental. I've gotten more laid-back in recent years but I can still crank my bitch dial up to 10.5 if it's necessary. I'm sort of lewd and I cuss a lot. I'm secretly quite paranoid. I love making people laugh.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

  • Dec. 28th, 2009 at 4:55 PM
music — SHOWTA. — EVE
Belated Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas and Jolly Solstice (and whatever else may apply) to the f-list. I had a really great holiday, honestly I wish it would never end. I am not at all ready to go back to school/do any work. I am nowhere near the right frame of mind for that kind of thing. Ugh. I don't even want to think about it.

We have a bunch of snow here now, although it was a couple days late as far as having a white Christmas goes. It's warm in my bedroom so that's where I tend to stay. The rest of the house is freezing. I've been up here watching Lie to Me* (holy shit, so good) and Monk (also so good, but everyone knows that) and playing Final Fantasy XII. I was playing Okami for a lot of the break, and I've almost beaten it, but it got all cold downstairs and people are always watching the TV lately so I switched to FFXII, which I've ignored for a while.

Actually I just had to take a break from XII because I got to the Mandragoras mini-boss in Sochen Cave Palace and oh my god. I am so frustrated. Granted they've only killed me two times but there's no save point directly outside of the battle area and the fight itself just drives me insane. I've glanced at a few FAQs about the matter but they all shrug it off as an easy battle. I tried to follow some of their suggestions the second time around but it didn't really help. If anyone who's played the game remembers this battle and has advice, I would really appreciate it! As things are, I'll probably just cool off and watch Monk for a while, and then go back and run around and do some more grinding in the Tchita Uplands.

As for what I got for Christmas, if anyone's wondering, my family does a secret-Santa-type gift exchange so you only get a gift/gifts from one person. I got gifts from my mother. She got me three things:


• Aerial7 headphones (Tank model, Graffiti version) | THESE ARE AMAZING. Sound quality is off the hook and holy shit, look at them. A+++

Mimobot designer USB flash drive (Buddy Chub Rainbow model by FriendsWithYou) | I cannot even believe how cute this is. I have been wanting a designer flash drive for forever.

• River of Blue Fire by Tad Williams | The second in the four-book Otherland series by Williams. These books are SO GOOD. If you're into sci-fi at all, check them out.


I hope you all enjoyed your holidays as well. Still a bit more to come holiday-wise, I suppose, with the new year. Oh boy! I have no idea what I'll be doing to ring it in. No plans. Wish I had more friends around here. Don't get me wrong, the couple I have are great, but man. I know I've said it before, but everyone around here sure has disappeared. Just one more reason why I'm looking forward to starting fresh somewhere else, I guess.

JUST THE WAY THE GAME IS PLAYED

  • Nov. 29th, 2009 at 7:20 PM
random — queer — if you are lesbian
I know a lot of people on my f-list have said they're pretty much finished with community-based writing games, but recently I joined an original-character forum game run by [info]unopened (some of you may remember her as Izuru from [info]mercy_street_rp), and it's been a very enjoyable experience so far. The atmosphere is relaxed, the other members are fun, and most importantly, the game's premise is one of the best I've ever come across. Right now we're looking to grow the game a bit, so I thought I'd just leave this here and see what happens. Generally application is invite-only, so if you wind up being interested, comment on this entry and I'll send an invite your way :)

Also, belated Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, I hope you all got to eat delicious food!



SHAKEN AS WE ARE


THE YEAR IS 2059. Mandatory genetic screening has been in effect for over sixty years.
Every day, all over the world, children testing positive for the genetic phenotypes associated
with homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality are removed from their parents and relocated
to walled-off sub-districts of major cities by the global theocracy. Families are destroyed, lives
irrevocably altered. Within the Districts, LGBT individuals are governed by a set of restrictions
and privileges bestowed based on their socioeconomic status. Some are apathetic, some despair,
some are even reasonably content -- and some are angry. Very angry. Maybe it's only a matter of
time. Sure, most of the populace is complacent, but echoes of dissent are popping up everywhere
these days. Some of them aren't afraid of doing what it takes to be heard. Where do you stand?
With the silent, downtrodden majority? With those who believe that working from within the system
is the only way to defeat it, that small victories will eventually add up to the big one? Or are you
with the hardliners, the rebels, the ones ready to set the world on fire to get their point across?


SHAKEN AS WE ARE is a referral-based LGBT rpg set in a dystopic, near-future
Chicago modified by more than a hundred years of alternate history. We're a small, relaxed
game with an emphasis on community feeling, well-developed characters, and good writing.

Belated birthday post! My birthday was yesterday for those of you who didn't know. I'm now officially 23, which is a pretty good age. My parents and brother and I went to Applebee's yesterday for a late lunch/early dinner (linner? dunch?) to celebrate. We had the second most apathetic waitress in history (the most apathetic waitress in history was one my brother and I had at Donato's a while back, that was amazing). My parents got me Okami for the Wii and so far it is really awesome. I love Waka of course.

Not sure if there will be any further partying. We shall see.

Sorry to those I have been out of touch with. I do think of you all.

Uh yeah so Gaga killed it at the VMAs. She won three awards (like VMAs mean anything anyway), but more importantly she did this



Her voice gets a little out of control in some places (mostly I think because of so much adrenaline) and the piano part is kind of wtf, but honestly I could not give less of a fuck, LOOK AT HER. LOOK AT HER! And I get to see her live in a couple weeks ooooh man.

Muse was also really good, I didn't even know they were going to be playing! I also didn't know they'd never been on American television before. They did a great job, wish I could have been there (they were playing in a separate theater, looked like they might have been doing a whole set). I'd love to see them live.

And, as usual, Kanye West is a gigantic dickweed and Beyoncé is boring, boring, boring.
