Proposal @ MindSay 
engagement
Drinking: Coca Cola/water
Thinking about: My fanfics
Watching: FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Reading: fanfiction, thinking about finishing HP6
Annoyed with: My mother and the dog and the cat
Kitsune no Tora is feeling: a little out of it, neutral
Hello hello~ It has been a while. D: I even got bitched at for not updating this, who would've thunk it? XD
Lesse... um, nothing really of importance HAPPENED in the past... however many weeks, as it is summer and I don't have much to do.
Well, I did get married. Sorta. XDDD
I am now Taylor's Tuesday wife~ Happened Monday. XD Let's see if I can find the convo... Here it is:
thoughtless77: LISA
Lisa: WUT
thoughtless77: I am getting enough spouses for each day of the week
thoughtless77: so
thoughtless77: *gets on one knee* Would you be my Tuesday?
thoughtless77: *shot*
Lisa: 8D
Lisa: OF COURSE I WILL BE YOUR TUESDAY <3
thoughtless77: 8D I'll make sure you won't regret it! *blomps(
thoughtless77: **
Lisa: I won't~ *blomps back* <3
"Blomp" was a typo for glomp that I made a while back, by the way. We tend to use it anyway. XD I decided we needed to have names for each other, like how Mima calls Taylor waifu and vice versa, so since Tuesday is "kayoubi" in Japanese we decided on kaifu. :3 Is cute~
...Otherwise, I can't really think of anything monumental or anything. XD;
I opened my own checking account about a week ago, so now I has a debit card. With that debit card, I opened a Paypal account, so I can shop online and stuffs. :3 But I didn't have a whole lot of money in the account since my old savings account is under my mother's name and I can't remove the money and close the account without her prescence (sucks majorly), I couldn't do much with it. But I got my last check from work recently, so I went and deposited that and put the money in the Paypal, aiming to go scour Ebay or something and buy myself a little something something. Unfortunately it seems it takes 3-5 days for the transfer to go through, so I have to wait now. ;_; I wanted to get FF7~ And mebbeh FF8, if I can afford that as well. I WANT MY CLOUD AND LEON FUFFF. 8D I'll have to look again when the transfer goes through. :/
When I went to deposit my check, I headed to Borders as well, looking for the 19th volume of FullMetal Alchemist. But they didn't have it. D8 It was supposed to be out already! Lazy bums. DX But it wasn't a total loss - I decided to get the seventh Harry Potter book, since they had it in paperback. (I avoided buying it when it first came out since the hardcover was like, $35. D: Rip off.) I figured I would finish/re-read the sixth one (I never finished it because I hated the book, but now that I've seen the movie I might as well just read it and get it over with) and finish the series. We have all the other books, might as well finish the collection. XP I'll get to reading that eventually.
Most of my days this summer consist of sleeping, reading fanfiction, talking to Taylor, talking on the forum, and writing. Or attempting to write. :P I have about... I dunno 4 ideas going? They're all Rune Factory 2 fanfiction too, haha. XD It's kinda surprising - I haven't touched the game in about a month, yet I'm coming up with a bunch of ideas. It seems to be my ongoing fandom as of now, not even Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann managed to push it away for long. (Which is EPIC WIN by the way. KAMINA. LEERON. I LOVE THEM. <3 Simon is pretty epic too, especially when he gets older.) I'll list them~
Duplicity: Longfic that I'm currently posting as I write it. There are currently 2 chapters up, and I'm slowly working on the third. Pairing is Max/Ray~ <3 I'm a little stuck, though, but the idea just WOULDN'T LEAVE ME ALONE so I skipped past it and wrote a different scene. It includes a little plot twist for added fluff and angst. 8D I had to do a little bit of research (and no Taylor, the drink name is not a major part, although it is something I would like to have), which got me SUPER EXTRA EXCITED, so hopefully later tonight-ish or tomorrow morning/afternoon I'll manage to work out the rest in my head and write it down. What I wrote this morning when I first got up (putting a notebook and pen near my bed was a VERY GOOD IDEA) needs a lot of tweaking and adding to now that I've done my research, but I'm happy with what I got down overall.
So far it's not garnering as much interest as my Barrett/Kyle or Jake oneshots, but that's to be expected - Barrett and Jake are the top popular bachelors. There's like, NOTHING on Max at all, and... I think two fanfics (one of which is dedicated to me, lol) involving Ray that I know of. So sad, they're awesome characters. D:
Lifeless: Longfic that I got the idea for A LONG TIME AGO, and started writing A LONG TIME AGO, but it got pushed to the side by little oneshot ideas and Duplicity, which is a lot less involved than this will be. It will be an extremely long fic (at least by my standards, which is somewhere around 30 chapters), with the pairing being Jake/Kyle. I plan on writing the ENTIRE THING (or at least 80% of it) before I begin posting, so it got pushed to the side when Duplicity came along. But I really love the pairing, so it WILL GET DONE. Eventually. <3 It's a lot more difficult of a pair to put together than pretty much any other one, because of Jake's inherent hate of humans, so it's going to be more work. But I don't mind~ I already have a rough outline and a lot of things going, it's juet GETTING IT GOING that is the hard part. the first chapter is written (took me 3 different starts to get one I liked) and the second chapter is started (but I started over at over 1,000 words because I didn't like it, so it's down to like, 300). I've got a starting block, it seems, which probably means that until my oneshot ideas get pushed away/written and Duplicity is finished, it won't get done. My original ETA was late August, but even that is looking a little too soon. XD;;
Sweet Thing: Oneshot, Barrett/Kyle. Pretty much going to be PWP yaoi lemon, but it's not totally hopeless - it takes a long time before getting to the sex. XP As for the premise, just imagine a hot day and melty ice cream. ;3 *shot* I got it JUST STARTED on either Monday or Tuesday (can't remember lol), so that might be a little while, since Duplicity keeps SCREAMING AT ME "GET ME DONE GET ME DONE WRITE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE." XD;;
Untitled: Undefinte length, college AU. Yaoi lemon, of course~ Everyone will be involved at some point, but it'll center around Kyle, Barrett, Jake, Max, Ray, Rosalind, and mebbeh one other bachelorette, I dunno. XD I love the RF2 bachelors a LOT, it seems. XP Main pair will be Barrett/Kyle, and side pairs will probably arise, along with some love triangles. :3 And probably some kink. XD; I still haven't completely developed the idea or written anything - it will probably end up as one fic, but each chapter could stand on its own and doesn't follow a specific defined plot overall - basically a series of oneshots, all with the same premise and setting. We'll see how it goes.
Untitled: For some reason, I REALLY WANT TO torture myself and attempt a 100 themes. I DUNNO WHY, but I do. XD So I've been looking for lists that would fit the series (although I could do AUs for the ones that don't fit into the premise of the game). I found one that I like and bookmarked it, but I haven't fully decided to do it yet. I'll do it when the urge gets too great or I finish Duplicity/Lifeless, we'll see. It depends on if I want to distract myself because I get stuck or something, that seems to be helping moderately with Dupliciity right now.
....That's all I can think of right now. XD There's some old half-baked oneshots saved on my computer as well - almost all abandonded ideas for The Village Square's contest - so if I feel the need I might try and fix/finish those eventually as well.
At this rate, I'm going to have a loooooot of RF fanfics.... XD;; With RF3 coming out either at the end of the year or beginning of next year, that'll probably grow even more. XD ARGH ILU RUNE FACTORY <3
...That's all I can think of to talk about for right now, so goodnight, digital abyss. <3

A lot of General Delivery is about, surprisingly enough, the delivery. What we're doing with the sound we create, what we're doing with the energy, the mood behind it, etc. I described it to a friend as blending Tai Chi with choir.
Sometimes, Gene will start using visuals. Today was good, because we're working on this Spanish lullaby/carol, and he's trying to get us to project more joy into the tone. As far as Gene's concerned, Passion = Joy. So, he's having us visualize different things that make us happy, building the levels.
And we're all fairly open to this, you can feel the mood rising, glancing around at expressions on people's faces, we're all in the same place on this. This is good. All was going well, until he unveiled, "It's Christmas morning...and you've just found that giant package with your name on it, that must be that whatever-it-is that you've been wanting all year..." and one of the altos completely crumples. Just immediately closes off.
Like I said, we're working with energy, so, while this sounds goofy, we could all feel the change and the direction - like everyone was holding onto a giant parachute while falling, and she just let go of it. Gene stops, and her whole face is cloudy, arms folded, sunk down in her chair. "What??" he asks, bewilderedly.
After a beat, she gets out, "I don't like Christmas."
Well, then. Sigh. We try again, building visuals other than Christmas. He's had the guys drop out to just listen for a bit, working with the sound from the sopranos and altos. "Okay, ladies? It's that day. That special day." Right, anticipation is building, we're all already happy from whatever the previous image was. "You're out with your special someone, and he goes down on one knee, and he's holding a little box."
Again, you could feel the energy, joy, delight, anticipation - except for, just to my left, a frantic crumple of parachute silk as Lizzie not so much closed off, but sprinted in the opposite direction.
Despite her fondness for her boyfriend, my roommate has expressed that she doesn't want to get married, and would be very freaked out if he ever did propose. At that point, she simply panicked.
Maybe Gene should go it Peter-Pan style, and have us come up with our own happy thoughts. Really, the way the energy builds in that room, up to the point when somebody responded unexpectedly, you almost feel as though you could levitate.
Ernie Chambers the Omaha District Senator done stuck his nose into business that isn't his concern. And going to set off a Race war like he did down in Omaha! Isn't he such lovely man!
My District has always been fighting over who has juristiction in our area. County or Tribal. It all boils down to that a good portion of our district is reservation. But on that reservation isn't just "indians" you have "non indians" also. A lot of people would settle their asses down and accept joint juristiction and have BIA, Tribal, and County all work together. Simply because ther are many ppl who like to claim non indian status one minute and then next minute claim that indian statues. It would make rural ppl both indian and non indians feel better protected and it would also make those living in town better protected.
But NOOOOOOOOOOOOO the counties and BIA and Tribal like to fight for that power! And that is exactly what it is! A power trip. Who gets to hold what power and how can we abuse it to help my own family out or my own people out. Got news for everyone. If you live in the US and are considered citizens everyone is your "people"!
But the kicker here is, Mr. Chambers. He started that lovely race war down in Omaha when he is the one as a Black Man, to propose segrgated schools in the Omaha District! And it got shot down big time and not just by black people! Well Mr. Chambers has now stuck his nose into a District that isn't his concern! He has propsed on handing over ALL JURISTICTION to one of the tribes on the reservation! And it isn't even the tribe that can manage it's own people, finances, or ethics! It is the tribe who has had some of the worst embezzelment cases via "Tribal Council" members and other "indian gov't officals". They are broke off their asses and are EXTERMLY raciest towards not just non indians but other indians NOT of their tribe! And contrary to popular belief any indian of any tribe can move on to ANY reservation! Not to mention they can not control their own "young Population" and embarss the crapout of their older generations by their behavor!
The proposal or bill what ever Mr. Chambers has proposed for MY District when he is NOT my Senator has already been read once! The first question by not just non indians but by indians not of this specific tribe is:
What the hell is Mr. Ernie Chambers doing sticking his nose into business that doens't concern him? Doesn't Omaha have it's own problems that he helped instigate?
Second Comment and Question is:
Our own district Senator wasn't even aware of Mr. Chambers proposing this bill until it crossed his desk after the first reading! Why was it even introduced via Mr. Chambers in the first place?
Third Comment and Question: If non indian gov't would do something like this it would be considered RACISM! Why the hell is it okay for tribal gov'ts to do this? Is this yet another way the federal gov't is prompting racism in the US?
Fourth Comment and maybe Question: Why NOT introduce a bill or proposal that gives juristiction to County, BIA, various City and Tribal gov'ts and MAKE them work for the ENTIRE county, District, and towns! That would be the most benficial of the power trip!
There is a county meeting for my county for the second reading of the proposal Tuesday night at my county seat. My district is actually about 3-5 counties and one county has already read it and those ppl didn't say yay or nay because the majority of them are white or "non Inidan". But MY county is a very eclectic mix because it is predomintly reservation and it not only has Indian and White but quite a few other races! It would be assinine to allow the Tribe have all the power to abuse non indians with and to strip our county of all of it's money by doing what this specific tribe is well known for: giving only to their specific family members and passing only laws that will benifit their specific families. Even the other Tribe in our county is split over this. If the tribe Ernie Chambers wants to hand over power to gets it, the other tribe will be abused also not to mention their tribal officers handed over jobs that the other set of tribal officers do NOT want to do!
I have both indian and non indian friends going to this meeting to voice their NAY vote over allowing this specific tribe having complete control. I have family going to voice NAY also. And let me tell you, lots of letters, phone calls, and emails are going to be sent to Lincoln; to the offices of our District Senator and to Dumb Ass Ernie Chambers about how this came about! If Chambers would have minded his own business in his OWN district, things would have worked themselves out........like they have for YEARS. At the moment, our county and the Tribal/BIA officers have a tentive truce going on via State with a trial cross juristiction! Certain officers on the BIA/Tribal side are cross deputized for both tribes. I feel safer because County has a bad habit of asking if I am indian if I need to call in. This way regardless of how I answer, I am going to get a response in a decent time period instead of waiting for 20-30 minutes for county to get on the right road and then find my house! The majority of the BIA and Tribal officers already know who lives where regardless of race and can get here FAST!
Can we say this truce of juristiction is going to go up in FLAMES! All over a raciest pig of a man who can't even help his own district!
