Well, it's the first snowfall of this new season. And holy crap it's still snowing hard. We're under a winter weather advisory until 7PM here.

( meme )

Most of the people in my dorm building haven't had much holiday spirit. We're totally taking snits at each other, it seems. Even I'm not immune. I'll roll eyes at someone and mutter bitch if they slow my elevator descent lately. Tensions seem to be running high. It's probably because of finals. Not surprised.

I'll try to do what I can for anyone else who feels like making out a list like this or who has already made a list out like this. Can't promise all of it will be done and up before new year because of stuff like finals and Christmas Break without wireless internet (Our router is broken).

Yeah, I know. My updates are getting sparse.

I've been losing a lot of time in between papers (one for Abnormal, one for World Mythology) and roleplaying--which I think I'm tempted to do a third character for Permanent Way.

( Character )

Yeah...I know. I'm lame and I have too much free time when I'm not doing my papers.

Other news?

Thanksgiving was the usual Turkey Slaughter Day.

Finals are coming up and I'm caving some.

I found out that Irish creme coffee creamer tastes better in hot chocolate than hazelnut coffee creamer.

My Work-Study adviser's son has been in and out of the hospital in between inflammation of his pancreas, a gallbladder attack (he had his gallbladder taken out, btw), and double pneumonia.

One of my eyes has been bugging me. No surprise it's my right eye, the bad eye.

I nearly blinded myself highlighting stuff in my notes but I survived.

I've been stationing my Ed and Al figurines in random positions in my dorm and having fun with that.

I finally decided what I wanted to do my World Mythology paper on (brother battles in both ancient and "modern" mythologies [I'm taking into account the Bible (Cain vs. Abel), Norse mythology (Baldur vs. Loki), Shinto mythology (if I can find one), Native American mythology (if I can find one), and I won't even go into much detail on some of the "modern" ones because they're pretty much pop culture (I'll just say one of them is Dragonball because Goku vs. Raditz was actually a pretty interesting one)].

I've been getting out the word on campus about the bookstore's book buyback through posting the flyers, putting little leaflet thingies on vehicles and on doors of the dorms.

Okay. Life's pretty uneventful. I guess.

Peace out Saiyan Scouts,
Mitz

Has anyone ever noticed that certain flavors of coffee creamer taste good in hot chocolate? *shot*
Seriously, I know I'm lame and I posted about something stupid. Namely that realization just now.

But that's not all of why I'm posting. I'll be honest.
Guess who's got a new music fandom? Yeah, you kind of guessed it was Mitz, didn't you? I really thank my online buddy Matt/Doc Holiday for introducing me to the awesome music of The Protomen. Not only did it appeal to the music nerd in me, but it also appealed to the Megaman fan that hasn't crept out of me in AGES. <3 So, Doccyboy, if you're reading this: I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR INTRODUCING ME TO THE PROTOMEN'S AWESOME MUSIC. If you're anyone else: I implore you to check out their music if you haven't already. <3

Yeah, I realize I've not posted in ages and people are probably all WTF Mitz what is it with you and not posting?

...Well, my name is Mitz, and I'm an LJ RP addict. (I'm currently rp-ing in Permanent Way. Take a character from a fandom, WITH AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE CROSSOVER TWIST. <3 )

But that's not important.

What I'm really posting about is this: hilarious incident at work today.

Connie, Beth, and I were all standing around talking to Chris (one of the college security guys) who came in to shop on his day off. Everyone suddenly makes note that I looked like a guy. I, of course, was dressed in jeans, oversized hoodie, old and tattered sneakers, and a cap. Since I've got such short, boyish hair, I did look like a guy. I digress.

Connie laughs and says "Take off your hat."

I did. I'm the obedient little work-study after all.
And then...Connie put little orange ribbons in my hair. Cue "Mitz is recognized as feminine", and then me trying to get the rest of my work done, distracted by the ribbons in my hair.

She put those ribbons in my hair around 3:30. Here it is, close to 7:30 and I -STILL- haven't figured out how to get these danged ribbons out of my hair.

I love my work-study supervisor to death.

...I'll save these ribbons for Haruhi cosplay. >D

So I was sitting here at my computer working on a picture in MS Paint.

Suddenly my computer goes off.  I'm all "What the...?!" Then I look at my alarm clock and I look at the crack beneath my dorm door.

And I realized the power was out.

...And I still have no idea why it was.

I just know it was. 

I don't even know if it was off for the rest of the campus (because I pretty much just curled up on my bed with my MP3 player).  I just know not too long after security came up here, it comes back on.

And I peeked out my door and said "Let there be light.  and it was good.  And then I thanked God."

...Which I did thank God.  Because I didn't feel so creeped by the eerie silence in the wake of the power outage anymore.

...Yeah.  I know.  Probably a waste of time to read this rambling.  But I thought it was interesting.  *Shrug*

Eh, my day got off to a rough start when I called home at least a dozen times with no answer.  Turns out that mom and grams were at the store and I know how gramps can never hear the phone (especially when I call, it seems...).

But then it got better around noon when I went to the first half of the Anime Club showing of Simoun.  Which, as it turns out, the lecture topic that Todd-sensei had prepared for it is actually related to what I'm studying in Human Behavior/Lifespan Development: ie. the adolescent search for identity and coming-of-age.

...Okay, I admit it.  I loved the mecha and explosions too.
...And I really liked...okay, hell, I loved the shojo-ai that was going on.  I'm unashamed of how much I loved the shojo-ai. 

( Spoilers for Simoun )
I'm already unable to wait for Halloween weekend, when we'll finish watching it.  Maybe I'll bring my stash of candy and dress up, just for the spirit of things.  Anyone think I should try to jerry-rig together a State Alchemist uniform?  Or should I try to jerry-rig together a cardboard replica of Trunks' sword?  (because I'll do either one)

...Or should I maybe just wear the Riolu ears and aura sensors that I've been working on?

Ah well.  I'll decide on something.  And probably spoil myself for the next several episodes.

One: I feel like such a loser.  I go to lay down for a nap after Human Behavior, right?  Which means I lay down for a nap around 11AM.  (Because I'm still feeling a little sickish.  Mostly still coughing a lot and sniffles.  And my voice sounds like hell 'cause of my throat's still a little sore.)  I didn't wake up like...3:19 in the afternoon.  Ffffff, I fucking missed Abnormal and possibly World Mythology because of a nap.  (Shit, I still need to turn in my Abnormal Psychology Case Study Paper about Gibbs.  Yes.  I'm doing my paper on Gibbs from NCIS.  [not that you needed to know but I almost ended up doing the paper on Vegeta.  But I flipped a coin between him and Gibbs].)

Damnit.  There I went rambling about that damn paper that I need to hand in.  I was talking about a nap, right?

Well, I had weird dream where I was rafting a sea of blood on a mattress.  And I kept on seeing flashing lightning and hearing someone sneezing loudly.  And while I was rafting, I kept begging for enchiladas and banana pocky.  Don't ask why on either of those food items (they're not what I'm craving.  I've been craving pasta, which I've been eating a lot of.)  And after a while, I'd cry and beg for my handmade plushies of Lucario and Bardock.

...I think I know what the dream means, but I won't go into it.  TMI issues and stuff.  Except that some sort of deity had a cold (which in my dreams I must be deifying the real me or deifying everyone around me who's got colds and stuff too.  I swear everyone's sick.), and that I feel stupid for leaving my Lucario plushie at home, and that I can't find my Bardock plushie, which is probably hiding somewhere in the blankets on my bed. 

( But if you really want to know... )
Heck, I think I missed a little bit of the social junk on campus.  Oh well.  I was having fun rafting in that dream and coughing up my lungs.

And people were probably watching the talent show and thinking "Where the hell is she?" when I wasn't in it after all.

...And guess what?  I just glanced at my bed.  And guess who was hiding under my pink snuggie in the gap between my matress and the wall?  Guess that solves my plushie mystery.  I'll probably cling to my Bardock plushie tonight and listen to Owl City while I sleep. And yes, I listened to Owl City as I napped.

If you're reading this over Jess's shoulder, Tiff, THANK YOU FOR GETTING ME INTO OWL CITY'S MUSIC.  <3  I like it.  I'm surprised I didn't get into it sooner.

Ugh, me and tangents.  This is what I get for taking cough medicine.

But yeah.  I'm laughing at myself for napping four hours like I'm a cat of some sort (or like I'm Abby napping in the lab and using Bert the Hippo as a pillow.  Or like I'm Bardock after a battle.  Or like I'm buzzard-bait Simba--wait, he's a lion and therefore a cat...), coughing and sniffling, hugging to a handmade plush of my favorite DBZ character ever, and enjoying the soft music of Owl City.  <3  Mostly laughing at myself for napping through stuff.

For a miserably cloudy day where I'm sick as a dog, today wasn't that bad.

I mean, sure, I may have missed a couple of classes.  *cough*Lifespan and Abnormal*cough* but I still took my World Mythology test on time.  And I think I aced it.  I bet Carol's getting a hoot out of me comparing the Egyptian god Osiris to a zombie.  Hell, it was great to get out of my room for a while, even if I had to sneeze into a mask or my scarf.  Get out into the world.  Not have to think about things like the DS incident.  (instead, I'm focusing my energy on just making sure future incidents like that won't happen), or about how my calculator won't go beyond 69 factorial when I need 100 factorial.

Sure, I'm sick, but I'm starting to feel a little better.  I keep taking my medicine and stuff.

But I'm in a better mood than I've been.  I mean, I had to be in a good mood if I was giggling about writing about Osiris being like a zombie that retained his intelligence.  Or when I made a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy while writing about Hinduism and reincarnation.  (FYI, I mentioned the answer to life, the universe, and everything, and said even if it takes 42 lifetimes).

And the four-berry smoothie I had at Java City helped my throat some, so it's not so sore. 

Also: Sharon in the cafeteria makes the BEST garlic bread I have ever eaten.  <3  (Jess, remember the cheesy bread from the old Bear's Den?  That's what it's like.)

And I don't have to worry about unreliable wireless anymore (by the way Jess, thanks for telling me to check my other phone jack because I otherwise wouldn't have thought to do it.).  And now you don't have to worry about Mitz raging about the lack of internet.

I still can't wait for Saturday.  The anime club is showing Simoun.  It's going to be freaking awesome and I know it.  (Yes, I am a slight GL/Yuri fan, but I more like the mecha and the coming-of-age aspects.)  Plus major officer elections other than president (All hail Captain Shadrick!).  ...I'll aim for Vice President or Treasurer.  (Vice Captain Mitz?  Or Nami!Mitz?)

And guess who decided to make a few new icons again?  (yes, I decided to make ones of Abby from NCIS because Abby is love and win.)

So, I'm not going to be in the talent show.  I'm actually not sad about it to be honest.  I don't think I'd be well enough in time for it anyway because of those little vermin in the doctor's office over the weekend.  And by vermin I mean annoying little kid who kept on coughing and spreading her germs, AND her irresponsible mother.

At least I have this Saturday to look forward to--the anime club is showing Simoun and I've been wanting to see it for a while.  (What can I say?  Coming of age story + mecha + innocent girlhood relationships = a pretty darn good anime in my book.)

I'm still miffed about the whole DS thing.  Yeah.  Sore subject I should probably get over but who cares?

I'm also miffed about the little git in Wickham who decided to bring a router and screw up wireless internet for the good people who work their butts off adjusting and readjust their computers to pick up the signal.

So, today was pajama day.  And when in Rome, wear frickin' pajamas as I say.  Not that I was going to change out of the ones I was in anyway.  Too comfy and I felt too darn lazy.

Tomorrow is nerd day and I don't really have all that many nerdy-looking articles of clothing anymore.  Probably going to wear my nerdiest clothing and carry around my remaining DS Lite and my manga.  That sounds nerdy enough, right?

Wednesday is Character dress-up day.  And I really don't have any characters I can easily dress up as.  I don't have a black wig so I can't dress up as Abby Sciuto from NCIS like I wanted to.  And not only do I lack a black wig, but it's too friggin' cold to dress as Bardock anyway.  Who knows.  Maybe I'll dress as The Hurricane or a Pokemon Trainer or something.

I probably won't really do tie-dye day or fave player day because I really don't have any tie dye and I don't really like any of the football players.  Arrogant entitled gits.

And since I feel like reiterating that meme...
Oh, and feel free to swipe it.
(If someone brings up one of my favorite five characters [a certain special agent from NCIS, a certain scarfaced saiyan warrior, a certain Decepticon, a certain perverted robot, or a certain trenchcoat-wearing braid-haired assassin) I will love you forever and probably be able to give the most detailed answers ever.  EVER.

Mention a character from one of the fandoms we have in common and I'll tell you:
1) My personal nickname for them.
2) A song I associate with them, and why.
3) Two characters I ship them with on a regular basis.
4) What type of Pokemon I think they would train.
5) Two things I love about them.
6) Two things I despise about them.
7) Something funny involving them in my headcanon

So yeah.

I'm kind of depressed because I won't get to go to Tsubasacon this year due to financial issues, vehicular issues, and the unfortunate Friday issue of having to go to the health department for a physical and flu shot.

But at the same time, I comment Obby, Genki/Sora, and Jazzeh for taking time to cheer me up.

And now I find myself a bit more cheerful than I was and coming up with silly ideas again.

Almost all of them set to songs from the Scrubs episode "My Musical".

I think my personal favorite of the ideas would be another cliche bromance brought to you by the song "Guy Love."  And in typical Mitz-ean style...It's a pair that I think of as best friends, but also could see as a romantic pairing.  *cough*Bardock and Tora*cough*

Either that or the NCIS cast singing "Everything Comes Down to Poo".

...Ah hell, who am I kidding, I also love my little mental idea of Wilson, Chase, and Cuddy singing "The Rant Song".

Two of those I'm going to have to do videos of.  *cough*NCIS'd Everything Comes Down to Poo*cough* and *cough*House Rant*cough*

The first I might just fic because it'd be easy to fic, but hard to do a video of.  (Believe me. It is.)

Soooo...meme!

So yeah.

I go to dinner in the cafeteria like normal.  Blah, typical Wednesday.

And then one of my friends comes in and is all "come sit with us."  So yay, I wasn't alone in the caff.  <3 

Afterward, she offers to take us to Page 3, the local comic/game/general nerd-stuff shop.

Trip well worth it.

Because she was nice and was all "I know you're broke and you keep saying there's a volume of manga you're wanting so snag it and I'll get for you." 

So I finally have volume 1 of DragonBall Z.

And she's like..."Can I see that?"

I let her.

She finds my FAVORITE scene and she's all "HEY THE MIDGET DUDE GOT OWNED."

To which I go "KRILLIN GOT BITCHTAILED."

So now she knows the word "bitchtailed", which is like a portmanteau of bitchslap and tail.  <3

I love Wednesdays.

Even when I'm sick.

So, I've got a good old-fashioned nasty cold, right?

On the one hand, it gets me out of work.  On the other hand, it makes me feel like crap.

So, with the free time on my hands, I decided to boot up my Sega Genesis emulator.  For a while I played Sonic 2, then got bored.  For a little bit, I played Sonic 3.  Then I got bored again.  For about twenty minutes, I played Road Rash, and then got so frustrated that I swore until I coughed.

...So, being as I was running low on gaming options, I decided "What the hay?  I'll play Gunstar Heroes.  I haven't played that in a while."

And for once I actually got myself up the nerve to beat Golden Silver once again.  I wasn't happy doing it, even though it means I beat the game.



( Warning! Warning! Warning! Spoiler. )
So yeah.  Sick Mitz plays Gunstar Heroes.  And then she cries which probably didn't do anything good for her throat.

...And now sick Mitz is going to make herself some tea and work on another alternate-ending fanfiction.

What a day, what a day.  And I haven't even done talent show auditions because that's at five.

We did more on diversity in Lifespan Development.  The douche that made the derogatory comment about lesbians was strangely absent, supposedly because he was skipping "to study for the test in abnormal psych that's coming at noon."  I think that's a part of the reason, but I also think there's some avoidance going on since I nearly flipped out on him Tuesday.

So then, I had my first test in Abnormal Psychology today.  Not too bad.  A shit-ton more writing than I would have normally wanted to do.  And since Doc Howie chose the essay I was going to choose as the Professor's Choice essay, I ended up having to choose a different one as my Student's Choice essay.  So I went with the other one that I studied big time to answer because I was TOTALLY sure that it would be his Professor's Choice.  So I think I aced that test.  I probably ACED THE HELL OUT OF THAT SON OF A BITCH.

Then there's World Mythology.  Or rather--the lack of class today in it.  You know, I'm kind of disappointed where it's one of my favorite classes, but at the same time, I'm glad.  I'm glad because Howie's test in Abnormal Psych, though I'm pretty sure I aced that fucker, took a hell of a lot out of me.  And since I have no homework--none for Lifespan OR for Stats tomorrow, I'm probably going to read over a little bit of World Mythology, then practice my stand-up routine for the Talent Showcase auditions.  Wish me luck!  (And please, wish it theatrically.  <3

Yeah, nothing really too exciting today.  Still haven't gotten over a certain classmate being really offensive about lesbians/lesbian stereotypes (what he said just after I spoke was un-fucking-called for.)

So...here's the meme.  I'm too lazy/frustrated by el-jay to put it under a cut.

Other Characters: Fasha, Panbukin, Totepo
Word count: ???
Warnings: shonen-a/yaoi, blood, implied sex
Summary: Toma was always turned on by that scar on Bardock's cheek.

( God it Just Feels soooooooo...It just feels so good. )

Guess who's been doing iconmaking at ungodly hours again?  Yeah.  Me.

This time I went crazy making icons using screenshots from the Bardock special.

You know, one day I'm going to probably make Wrestling icons.

Then you can laugh harder at me.
( TAKE A LOOK. IT'S IN A BOOK. READING RAINBOW. (lolol book meme) )

I ended up hijacking this after much debate.  So totally do eet.

Name a character from one of my fandoms and I'll give you:

(a) three facts about them from my personal canon/fanon
(b) a reason he/she sucks
(c) a reason he/she is awesomecakes
(d) five things that never happened to that character and/or
(e) five people that character never fell in love with and why.

Just so tuckered after studying.  Lifespan Development--interesting subject, boring book.
But I couldn't resist a fic idea that came up.
