Let's see if you guys can guess them all! ^_^

EDIT: Changed #2 because it was probably confusing. It's from the same movie, just a different quote. ♥

I should probably do more baking tonight, but the only thing I can really do right now are more shortbread cookies, and more eggnog cookies. Everything else I'm supposed to be making I need more supplies for. *sigh* And I don't feel like baking tonight. :P I probably will anyway, though...

Right now, am watching Alien with Tri (he watches movies with me sometimes lol XD;) and doing meme things because I'm tired and kind of bored and feel like it. Whatever.

GAH. I was fine until about twenty minutes ago, and then I started feeling sick. One second I was painting a pony, the next my ears were ringing, my nose was fucking gushing, and my throat was killing me. When I went to look in the mirror, there are red stripes all down the back of my throat. ><;

I should have known when I woke up feeling okay this morning. >>;

Sooo I took some cold pills to help with my nose I've gone through half a freaking box of kleenex in 20 minutes and once they kick in (should be any time now) and it stops fucking running off my face, I'll start working on Sakura again. Not anime-related Sakura, just the name I gave the pony I'm working on right now.

Blegh.

BTW, I forgot to mention a conversation I had with Grandma while I was at her place; she was telling me, one day a couple months ago she was excersizing (she does so for an hour every morning in the basement), she looked down and there was a black and yellow butterfly sitting on the ground next to the eliptical trainer. She didn't think anything of it, and kept going, and a few minutes later when she was finished, she looked again, and it was still there. So she headed off to get dressed and everything and later on that day when she went down again it was gone.

For some reason, it made her think of Grandpa. And ever since then she's been attracted to butterflies; while I was out shopping with her on Tuesday she pointed out countless things with butterflies on them.

But she told me that, and it reminded me of something I'd heard; butterflies are supposed to be a message from someone who's passed on. Or, they can be anyway. Just to say "I'm here", you know? So I mentioned it to her... and she just started to cry. >>; I felt bad, but she told me it was happy tears. Then we talked about Grandpa for a while, and we both cried off-and-on about it.

I haven't really talked about Grandpa much since he died, and I haven't cried almost at all, but it was kind of nice, strange as that sounds. Like I wasn't bottling things up as much anymore, which I know I do all the time. I don't like people to worry about me, so I just shove everything down and try to forget about it.

Anyway, butterflies. I didn't tell her because the conversation drifted, but the day that Grandpa died when we went up to Bracebridge to say goodbye to him after he was gone, it was a bright sunny summer day out, and I saw more butterflies out that day than I did for the entire summer before or after, or any other summer I can think of. They were everywhere, and it was strangely comforting.

Yeah. This post is really random.

EDIT: Depending on how I'm feeling, there will be snow photos, and Tetsuya-photos tomorrow!

What Tiffany Means

You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are loving, compassionate, and ruled by your feelings. You are able to be a foundation for other people... but you still know how to have fun. Sometimes your emotions weigh you down, but you generally feel free from them. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.

You know, a lot of that is scarily accurate. There's parts that are way off base too though. Ah well.

EDIT: ( Just for the sake of it. )

( Photoblogging, Day 67 )

We've all seen this meme around, yes? I'm too lazy to tag peoples, so whoever wants to do it, do it. :)

1. Post these rules
2. Each person tagged must post 8 random (hopefully interesting) facts about themselves
3. Tags should write a journal of these facts
4. At the end of the post 8 more bloggers are tagged and named
5. Go to their journal and leave a comment telling them they're tagged

1) When I was around two years old, Mom gave me split pea soup for the first time... and I inhaled it. Literally. A very blue (again, literally) Sena and an ambulance ride later, I spent the day in an oxygen tent playing with puppets and being fed popsicles by the nurses while Mom recovered from a borderling-heart-attack. I never ate pea soup of any kind again.

2) My first pet (my first pet, Mom had a cat, Puff, when I was born, but I'm not counting her because she wasn't mine) was a cat I named Crystal. I had a thing for that name. I named everything Crystal. She was a semi-long-haired calico with blue eyes, and she came from the neighbours house when their cat had kittens. Eventually when Mom, my brother and I moved away from Dad, we had to give Crystal away. She went to a good home, but I still miss her sometimes.

3) I'm so allergic to peanuts that when they allergy tested me for them, the result was off the scale. People can't even cook/bake with peanuts/peanut butter/peanut oil/etc. when I'm in the house because the fumes make my lungs and throat close up. We learned that the hard way about three Christmases ago. My brother still bitches because Mom won't bake him peanut butter dainties anymore.

4) I have an irrational fear of stay-sharp knives that come with their own sharpener-covers. When I was 14-ish I was de-boning some chicken and slipped, cut halfway into my thumb on my left hand. You can't see the scar much because it blends in with my knuckle, but now I can't handle a stay-sharp knife without shivering.

5) When I was five to six-ish, my favourite pastime was going through the field out back to the pond and catching frogs (I also caught turtles, lizards, snakes and even a star-nosed mole once). I thought it was the bestest thing ever until the day I fell in. I've never actually remembered being in the water, or climbing out. I remember my boot catching on a tree knot, the falling sensation, then the next thing I remember I was back out and hightailing it home, covered in green goo. It took two hours of showering and a whole bottle of shampoo to get all the algae off of me. Mom was not impressed.

Side Story: Once we caught a bunch of huge bullfrogs and had them in jars. One pair were clinging to each other, and I was like wtf? So Mom had to find a delicate way to explain. In the end she just gave up and went "they're having sex, hun." And I was all "oh. I'd better let them go then."

6) I've had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome since around August of 2001. Combined with everything else I've got going on, it really drags me down, and six years of it is getting to be excessive. I'm told it can last decades. Fuck! When it first showed up, it presented in tremors in my hands, shaking in my shoulders, dizzy spells, problems focusing, exhaustion, nausea when I ate anything (I practically lived on gingerale and plain unsalted potato chips; now I have to take gravol before I eat so I can maintain a somewhat decent diet) and the occasional passing-out. All symptoms that I still deal with to this day. It took two years of that for me to finally be diagnosed. My step-dad thought I was faking so I wouldn't have to go to school/work. >>;

7) Two of the cats I have now are "barn cats" from Dad and Lois' property. Neko and Tri both grew up outside, under the porch and in the shed/barn (for the most part.) I decided to adopt Neko when I went to visit, and looked over through the dog pack to see a little tabby kitten eating out of the dog food dish, surrounded by about six of the pack. It was the same type of thing with Tri. Hence them being so weird nowadays. lol. The vet was shocked both times, when I took them in for their first shots and he asked where they came from; I said they were barn cats, and he wouldn't believe me because they were so healthy, and didn't even have fleas, ticks, or ear mites. Lois treats the cats for bugs too, just so that they don't spread to the dogs.

8) I've been growning my hair for just over two years, and it's already down to my rear. My hair grows much faster than "average" hair does. When it's unbraided and straight, I sit on it! =D I don't know why I grow it so long, since I always just put it back in a braid anyway, but I always do. In another six months to a year, I'll get sick of it, cut it off and donate it to Locks For Love (like I did last time), and start over again.

Bonus 9) Before Dad found Lois, he was with Carol; I spent from the time I was five to the time I was about twelve with her riding me about everything... but particularly my weight. She put so much on my shoulders that she completely fucked me over self-esteem wise, and told me no one would want to be friends with a fat girl, no one would ever love me. Mental/emotional abuse, though she didn't hit me... as far as I can remember. There are big parts of my childhood with her that I don't remember at all. It's taken me years to put that behind me, and I'm still not completely over it. As you can imagine, having weight issues like I do kills me, even if it's not my fault or so they tell me, there's nothing I can do about it and it's all because of the massive cysts on my ovaries that the doctor freaking refuses to remove. ><;;

...

Now, is there anything anyone wants to know particularly? I kinna enjoy answering questions like this. :)

List all the characters you play in various RP associations, and those who reply may ask whatever questions they wish of the listed characters. Replies will be in-character to those who reply.

Haha, I mostly play OC characters... xD;; But there are two anime characters I've played, so~~

1) Hitachiin Hikaru from Ouran High School Host Club (I play him like... everywhere >>;)
2) Sohma Hatsuharu from Fruits Basket

On to the OCs~

3) Gwydion (Grove Born Companion, Heralds of Valdemar OC)
4) Tahirah (Companion mare, Heralds of Valdemar OC)
5) Hayashi Tetsuya (half-vampire, from my Exit Normal project)
6) Kozue Kou (Sailor Star Piper, from ND)
7) Nori Shino (from ND~)
8) Kikin (Horse of Famine, from ND)
9) Okami Akari (hoshiko, from ND~)
10) Sohma Natsume (original jyuunishi, Year of the Rabbit, Fruits Basket OC)

I blame my Hikaru obsession for the number of OCs I listed. There are like a hundred more too, but ten is enough. Haha, whenever I apply for a real character in an RP it turns out to be Hika. >__>;;

Rules
1. Choose a few of your own characters. Five at the most.
2. Make them answer the following questions
3. Then tag three people.

( I stole this from Steph, yey~ )

I tag~

and
etcetera_cat!

and whoever else wants to do it! ^^

Rawr, now I'm back to flailing over the con tomorrow. I'm not done~~~!

I got four more ponies finished tonight, yey. XD;;

So now Kisa, Hiro, Ritsu and Kureno have been moved to my already overly-crowded display shelves, where they look pretty along with Hatori and Ayame, and my Ouran ponies, and the pony that I did for khriskin a while back and haven't gotten around to mailing yet. >>;;

Only three more Furuba ponies to go! I'll probably get Shigure and Akito done tomorrow or the next day... but I think I need to order hair for Arisa, so she'll have to be bald for a while yet.

I was just realising tonight, as I was placing Kisa/etc. on the shelves, how terribly epic my Furuba pony set is. ^_^; It's seventeen ponies all together, just for that series. LMAO I sure know how to pick them, don't I? lol. They're all over the place already. XDD;

Anyway, then I watched TV for a while because my brain was going durr... from all the rehairing (I decided to use that hair for Kisa, by the way, and now that it's on the pony it looks really good so I'm happy <3), and petted Loki and Neko for a bit, and then went to bed...

...at which point my brain decided it had done enough durr-ing, and turned all the lights back on. WTF brain, I'm tired and I hate you right now.

So I ended up laying on my back in the dark, randomly thinking about Eclipse 16. WOW, I haven't worked on that in a long time... months, at least. Maybe a year or more. It got put on the back burner, and mostly forgotten about...

How could I forget about E16? It's my Sena + Boredom In Math Class love child! ;~;

Jeez, I started working on the E16 stuff in like... 1999. ^_^;; Eight years ago. That's nuts. And the project just keeps growing and getting bigger, and it's been out of control for a long time already~~

Honestly, I doubt I'll ever get around to doing anything with it. I've done a ton of drawings and character sketches, and have lots of character/world notes and stuff, and even doodled a handful of comic pages, but nothing's ever really gotten off the ground. Oh well. I still ♥ it, and I always will.

At this point I'm thinking I'll rework it a bit again and try to make it novel-able. Yeah right! Every time I set about organising it or reworking it, it just ends up bigger, with more characters and plot twists than before! I FAIL!

Those of you who know me and have listened to me ramble about my writing, or read my fanfiction (when my brain allows me to write it, which isn't much nowadays), you know that I'm all about the epic projects; The Hounds of Passing, Angel Fire/Tears, Necro Mythos, Breathing Ghosts, Wednesday's Child, Exit Normal, DONOR, and all those fun things that I love.

But E16 is the most epic of them all, and probably always will be. AHAHA. >>;;

EDIT: TWO CRUSHES? Seriously?? YEY~ ^3^; Who posted as anonymous~? That's not fair~! And YES, PONY CRUSHES COUNT! X33 As do Hika-muse crushes, semiblonde! <33 Can I have a crush on my own Hika-muse, though? >.>;;

EDIT #2: Uhh... pictures of Isuzu/Rin!pony, Yuki!pony, Kyou!pony, Hatori!pony, Kisa!pony, Hiro!pony, Ritsu!pony and Kureno!pony will probably be posted at some point later today. Like, after I've gotten some sleep. Besides, the batteries for my camera are recharging anyway. :P

I'm bored, and I'm tired, and I'm sick, and I can't sleep. =_=; So basically, this sucks.

I'm working on ponies to try to keep busy without doing anything too strenuous because when I do it sends me into coughing attacks, and I was skimming through my journal a bit and noticed I'd never posted the un-guessed answers to this meme.

Thusly.

6) The X-Files: Fox Mulder; probably just because of his unending faith/belief in the unknown/paranormal. He's a very flawed character, and somehow I find that endearing. Though sometimes he just needs to be smacked upside the head, I'll admit. >>;

8) Final Fantasy: Advent Children Kadaj; for no reason really. XD; I just like the character design. I want his hair. And his voice was creepy in it's appropriateness; they even did a decent job casting him for the English dub. =O

9) Gravitation: Sakuma Ryuichi; because he makes me laugh, has randomly deep moments, and sometimes makes me just blink and radiate question marks. Ryu is so random that he's got a special place among my favorite characters. <3

12) Kanon: Sawatari Matoko; her storyline (at least in the anime, since I haven't played the game) was so tragic, and she was so lost. The end of her storyline made me cry-- both happy tears and sad tears at the same time.

13) Danny Phantom: Danny Fenton; because he's such a dork. You've gotta love him. XD

14) Teen Titans: Terra; she was a really complex character, and I got really into her internal struggles, though I have to admit I resented her a little for the way she treated Beastboy. Please don't hurt me for liking her, Kao-mun! >.<;;

15) Princess Princess: Yotaka Mikoto; because... poor Miko-chan! XD;; He just hates being a Princess so much. It's tons of fun to watch him flail, lol.

17) Bones: Seely Booth; I find Booth to be a really... real character. He's another one who's flawed, and I like that about him. He makes me laugh. And I love the way he is with his son. <3

18) Magic Knight Rayearth: Eagle Vision; let's face it, Eagle was smexy. *_* Why'd they have to kill him~?! TT~~~~TT

20) Tru Calling: Tru Davies; watch me be predictable with this one. I think it's just because Eliza Dushku is the actress who played her, and it's fallback from so many years of watching Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel. ^_^;

21) Xena: Warrior Princess: Autolycus; he was so full of himself! lmao. But he had randomly redeeming moments, too. Though they never did what I was hoping for; when they skipped ahead 50 years or whatever, I wanted them to do an episode where he still thought he was the King of Thieves and kept trying to do all the things he could when he was younger, and Xena and Gabrielle kept having to bail him out. XDD;

23) Prétear: Awayuki Mawata; this one is iffy because I really liked Himeno too, but Mawata's character just... resonated with me, in a way. I could really relate to the way she felt like an outsider, and like no one understoof her. I've been there. A lot.

25) X-Men: Evolution: Rahne/Wolfsbane; a really small side-character, but one I latched onto quickly when I saw her-- because she's a shapeshifter and her other form is a wolf. And I <3 wolves!

26) Powerpuff Girls: Mojo Jojo; he cracks me up. His rambling is so funny. Though they took that away from him in the new anime series, and he wasn't as great a character then. ;___; Poor Mojo~

27) I My Me Strawberry Eggs: Fukae Akira; because he's so tragic and selfless. I just loved him right from the start, but at the end of the series I cried for him like ten times. I My Me Strawberry Eggs was a random title I picked up, but TOTALLY worth it. :)

28) Wolf's Rain: Toboe; because he makes me go "d'oh!" and "awwww~" all at the same time. He's so weak and innocent and just has no sense of the real world. Yet at the same time, he'll do anything for anybody, and just wants everyone to be safe and happy.

Aaaaand that's about it for this pointless post. -____-;

If there is someone on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

Oh, and my second Ouran art book dealie came in today. The first one got here last week. (I like the one that came in today better [/random] lol.) They were both a little bit bent in the mail. ><; I guess that's what you get with books that aren't hardcover...

And I got a Christmas card from Nana-mun, too~ ♥ DIE OF THE GLITTER ATTACK. X3

I had to amble down to the pharmacy today to pick up prescriptions (Apo-Carbamezapine, Ratio-Citalopram and Avandia), and while I was down that way I wandered through the Dollarama. (I should never be allowed in there, seriously.)

I spent like $25 on stuff to send to people in my next round of P.O.S. boxes, and craft supplies for myself. XD;

Why is Dollarama such a good dollar store??

>>;;

And while I was there, I got some treats for the rats/cats (mostly the rats); they're these pork-link chew-things, actually meant for dogs, but I find that dog treats are excellent for the ratties, they love them. :)

Anyway, I gave Yuki and Kori a couple to munch on, and since Loki was giving me big PRETTY PLEASE MOMMY eyes, I gave one to him, too... and he was like WHOO!, and took off with it-- and now he doesn't seem to know what to do with it, lol. They're supposed to be chew-toys, so they're hard and he doesn't seem to get that.

Right now he's nosing it around the floor trying to figure out what to do. Ahhh, Loki. <3

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! Last week I ruled Iran as a cruel and heartless dictator (-700 points). In June I gave celen a wet willie, then I took it back (-5 points). In February I gave change to a homeless guy (19 points). In September I set smoulderedtears's puppy on fire (-66 points). Last Sunday I invaded Iraq, broke it, and couldn't glue it back together before Mom got home (-1012 points). Overall, I've been naughty (-1764 points). For Christmas I deserve a lump of coal! Sincerely, senashenta
