Veth's Journal

Wow, dang I missed a lot of days. I was planning on catching up on Thursday, but Anime Boston ate my entire weekend. Whoops. AB was pretty spectacular, though. I had a lot of fun. Will hopefully post a con report within the next couple weeks. :D Also Passover ends in a few hours and classes end in a few days so I am feeling pretty okay right now. Just have to get through these last couple homeworks and then finals. Yosh~

I also started watching Madoka today. Yes, finally. It is good so far, but would probably be better if I did not know so many spoilers. :( Still, I like it. The characters seem pretty cool and I love the art style and I want Madoka's house. Kyubey's voice is annoying though.

*deep breath*

( DAY 09: A song that makes you hopeful. )

( DAY 10: A song by your favorite band. )

( DAY 11: A song on the soundtrack of your favorite movie. )

( DAY 12: The last song you heard. )

( DAY 13: A song that reminds you of a former friend. )

( DAY 14: A song that reminds you of your boyfriend/girlfriend. )

I was going to post this before midnight but oh well.

The play went so awesome. Okay, so I entered too early one time and some stuff took too long and some lines got messed up (including the last line :P) but who cares? No one noticed. The cast was amazing and people laughed at the appropriate times and apparently one person told us they never realized R&J has so many jokes in it before, which is, y'know, a serious compliment. Anyway, the point is I had so much fun and I cannot wait to do it again tomorrow now that we actually know what we are doing. And it seems like we even have a reasonable chance of doing another play next year. ^___^

( DAY 05: A song that is often stuck in your head. )

Thanks for your replies yesterday, guys. They really did make me feel better. I'm going to try not to care so much about what other people think about this stuff. Haters gonna hate and all that. ^_^

Made a human!Fluttershy account earlier today: sharingkindness. I doubt I'm going to ever use it for anything - mostly just wanted to take the username before someone else did - but if I ever were going to be good at RPing a character, it would probably be her. :|a So who knows. I've still got a ways to go before I'm caught up on the series anyway. Maybe someday.

Also I know most of my lines for the play now, so that is a good thing. :B

DAY 02: A song that reminds you of your most recent ex-boyfriend/girlfriend.

...Never had one of those. :|a I don't suppose anyone will mind if I skip ahead to the next day?

( DAY 03: A song that reminds you of one/both of your parents. )

Wait what is this? I am finally done with these stupid essays that I've been working on for the past several days? :O Quick, let me post a meme before I get assigned anything else.

(stolen from quadruplify)
Give me a character and I will give you my:

• OTP for them.
  
• Runner-up pairing.
  
• Honorable mention(s).
  
• Crack pairing(s).
  
• Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't. (alternatively: ship I like that everyone else seems to hate)

Not much else going on in my life. I've been inundated with work pretty much, so sorry if I've been responding to y'all's posts less than usual. :( No point in a Pokémon update until I get to the Elite Four, which I may not for a few weeks yet. Most of my free time has to be channeled into Romeo and Juliet. (Which is this weekend, btw! I guess I should start getting nervous about it now.) Also hi to no_one_specific, you are a cool person who is cool. c:

Anyway, more exciting updates may come eventually. In the meantime, do the meme. :B

Saw two awesome movies in the past few days. The first was Summer Wars, which was amazing and touching (I actually cried, which... doesn't happen often). Despite what people say, it really isn't all that similar to Our War Game, apart from the ideas of a rogue AI and impending missiles. It came off as more of a homage than anything. I'm actually planning to get the DVD (and I don't own many DVDs either), if only to see how the dub came out. In conclusion, watch this movie. :B

The second was Atlantis: The Lost Empire, which I've been meaning to watch for forever. It turned out to be another one of those that I should have seen back when it came out, because I found myself being very fond of it. The characters! ♥ I found I could ignore the plot holes, but I did come out thinking that it should have been longer for the sake of character development. If we got to see more of the characters' interactions and growing friendships, I think it would have been a lot more powerful. And Milo should have totally gotten with Audrey. (Also, yeah, huge crush on Milo. He's not the trope picture for Adorkable for nothing. A socially awkward linguist with the voice of Marty McFly, come on, that's not fair.)


Also this meme's been kicking around the flist.

You know how sometimes people on your friendslist post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

Please copy the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out. :)

( My answers are here! )

FEEL FREE TO ASK FOR CLARIFICATION OR WHATEVER


Also! If any of you guys have an OC that you want icons of, djinni is doing an icon day again. The art's really cute and tipping is completely optional - and despite the fact that most people request animals, he draws humans just fine too. It closes tomorrow, so if you want to request, do it soon! :D

First, the answers to last post's meme, just in case anyone was curious. ( I can see why no one got most of these. :P )

lisacharly, you don't get to say anything about me missing BNL songs. :P

Now, a Shakespeare meme! Stolen from ember_reignited.

Bold the ones you've seen stage productions of, italicize the ones you've seen movies of, underline the ones you've read or listened to, and add a star to any you've performed in, done readings of, or in which you've otherwise theatrically participated.

( List, list, O, list! )

And after now, the traditional New Year's meme! Stolen from quadruplify.

( Year in Review )

Also studying for finals what is that ¯\(°_o)/¯

Characters meme, part 2! This time from cykotyks, who went the Bleach route.

( Matsumoto, Unohana, and Hanatarou )

You guys can still feel free to request ones or whatever.

So, an update on this whole thing with me and wanting to RP. I came across this game called cluster_fsk last week, and it looked like somewhere I could actually play at! All OCs (so I don't have to worry as much about characterization), small, and pretty casual. So I went ahead and made my first RP account ever: stellacious. I've been nervously tagging around dear_mun over the past few days, and once I feel comfortable with it I'll probably app to cluster_fsk. So, nervous, excited. Mostly nervous.

Hey why not have another meme that is going around.

Instructions:

1) Make an entry with the filled out form
2) Have your f-list describe in the comments how they pronounce your username, what they originally thought it said/meant

VETH-uh-cuh	Way back before I had an established internet identity, one day I needed a username to join the PPT forums under. So I came up with Vethica. I tried out a couple others since then, but this is the one that stuck. No idea where the actual name came from, though - I make up names sometimes, and I guess this was one of them.
Etymology: ?????

Okay, my current massive amount of homework is out of the way. Mostly. I still have a Japanese oral tomorrow but I am not thinking about that. D: The homework would probably not have been so bad if I had not been staying up late wasting my time on the internet instead of just doing it, but apparently that is how I roll.

Man, I hate how I roll.

( Brief cut for holiday sadness )

Um. On a happier note, I'm still on a huge Sondheim kick from reading his book/watching the birthday concert last week (also amazing, btw). I've been checking out some of his plays that I didn't know previously, currently Pacific Overtures because it is educational and has some very catchy music. Also, Sab Shimono (Uncle from JCA) was in the OBC! :D He's the one in the striped shirt. (The whole thing's on YouTube, but I haven't had the time to sit down and watch it. Also it is not that great quality.)

By far my favorite song is this one. It is practically begging for a Hetalia AMV but there are a lot of reasons why that would not happen, not least being the Netherlands has like no screen time. So I'll probably just draw a picture for it or something.

Will post some memes or something next time. Maybe work on the ones I still owe. Sorry, again.

Also:
【THE TIME CAPSULE MEME】
Even if you don't know me that well I'd still like it if you posted something. :)

I know I have things to post and memes to answer, but since that will take a while I'm just going to leave this here for now: anonchatmeme. You can anonymously talk to/ask embarrassing questions of/sexually harass your favorite characters! It is awesome and I've been addicted since last night. I figured some of you might be also interested. yeah the one who proposed to Grell was totally me

...also. I think I just realized I have a blackrom crush on Vriska. Whyyyy. D:

Luckily, all the dares I've gotten do far have been very mild. :B

cheshirecgrin wanted me to do some origami and post pictures.



...it's a snail. Look, I didn't know any origami off the top of my head so I went with what the internet told me. :P I used to have this huge book of Pokémon origami, it was awesome. But oh well. Now I have a snail.

Also, cykotyks didn't specifically tell me to post this one, but I thought it was too glorious not to share.



Slowpoke in a tutu. Why? Only cykotyks's deranged mind knows. :P
