10:00 am - WELCOME!
This journal is mostly friends only. As you can see, some posts are not. But anything with depth is, lol.
If you want to be added, please leave me a comment! As a rule I don't add people who don't at least say hi.
If you've left a comment and I don't respond, please write me again! Sometimes I get caught up with something and forget to reply. I apologize if that happens.
If you were a friend and I took you off it was most likely for one of these reasons:
A) We never talk anymore
B) You never post anymore
C) We no longer have anything in common
D) All of the above
If you think I made a mistake, or want to give getting to know each other another go, just tell me and we'll do that! Thanks and much love to you all!

05:46 pm - Writer's Block: Change is good
Well, I'd start with the little things. Like killing my upstairs neighbors for being so loud that even with music and headphones, I almost can't focus on my writing or my studying.
After I've disposed of their corpses, I'd like to make a number of major changes in my life. I know it says to pick one, but frankly, all of those things need changing. I would like to go to a university that I really liked, studying fiction writing. I want to live in an apartment as awesome as this one, with a landlord as awesome as this one, but in a different city and with elderly neighbors who never watch TV. I want to meet a guy whom I can communicate with, trust, and banter with, fall in love, and hold some semblance of a relationship that forces me to release my intimacy issues. I would love to get a job that made me happy and gave me time to write, but ultimately I would love to be a successful author. Successful enough to live off of my writing, at least.
If only, if only. I can't pick just one of those things. But in the end, I'd just like to have a life of financial stability that includes love, loyal friendships, and enjoyment of life in general, despite the ups and downs we all inevitably face.
Wouldn't we all?
In other news, had a bit of a school crisis. As usual, after crying and panicking and worrying, it miraculously worked out. Or so it seems. I feel much better, either way. Not to mention thankful beyond words.
Been doing pretty well on NaNo, all things considered. Gotta keep it up if I want to make it, though.
20573 / 50000 words. 41% done!
Sort of in the mood to write a comedy instead of horror, so I've been listening to scary, wordless soundtracks to try to get me in the mood. The end.
EDIT: I just submitted a short piece for publication for the first time. I'm super nervous and excited. It doesn't pay much, but it is a print publication. I know I'm up against a lot of people, but regardless of the results, at least I can say that I'm truly proud of this one. It's flash fiction, and I'll post it in my LJ later if it isn't accepted. Hopefully it will be, though. XD
EDIT AGAIN: CRAP. I just noticed that while the submission itself was fine, the cover letter with my address and the short bio they requested was smooshed together so that there are no lines between paragraphs. >< Do you think that'd be enough for them to just delete it? I hope not. Damn you straight to hell Opera. I don't know why you do that.

12:30 am - Someday this thing will be manageable!
Just cut a handful of people who never talk to me anymore. If you are one of those people and feel I made a mistake, or would like to stay, please let me know.
<3 To everyone. I need to catch up on commenting a tiny bit, but not as bad as before!

02:11 pm - Writer's Block: How Rude!
When I was 9, I had a woman accusingly ask me if I was being molested. I've had a lot of rude things asked before, but that one has to be the worst.
I've also been asked if I was a prostitute, more than once, just because I was a woman walking down the street at night. But still, I think the molestation question, especially how it was posed, was the worst.
...Can't remember the rudest thing I've ever asked. I'm more of a "rude statement" kind of gal, heh.

10:31 pm - Protect me from what I want... Protect me, protect me...
I accidentally found this link while searching for porn, and it ended up making me laugh so hard my neighbors probably thought I was dying.
Potentially not worksafe. But only if your boss would be bothered by you looking at pictures of men in assless chaps.
In other news, today was one of those "let's piss off Elysia" days, full of neighbors who must be legally deaf to need their bad rap music THAT LOUD, internet being stupid out of nowhere, and a bottle of water seriously exploding in my face like a situation comedy.
However, it has been a decent day all around. I've survived. It definitely could have been worse.
Here are my eight happy things, biotches!
8 Things To Be Happy For Today:
1. That article! It was the best laugh I've had in at least two days. ...Ok, I admit, I frequently laugh like I've lost my mind.
2. I had a file that uTorrent predicted would take me three years to download. Lolz. But for some reason it only loaded 2 percent yesterday, yet this morning, in an hour, it completely downloaded without changing the amount of people seeding. Nothing is corrupted, so I consider this a weird but good thing!
3. This huge gargoyle came down and just started eating my upstairs neighbors alive and tearing their whole place apart and blowing up their stereo and all their horrible CDs and-- oh wait, no, that was all in my head.
4. Mm. Brownies.
5. Started writing again today! Huzzah. But it was all PORN!!!!!!!!111111111
6. Re-watched some old funny clips and almost cried from laughing.
7. Have been listening to amazing songs I found in the last few days. Hurray!
8. Got mostly caught up on all the webcomics I missed in the past few days. Lol, I ran out of happy things, so that was all I could think of. Don't you judge me!!!
Blah, I'm still a little behind on comments, but I should be able to catch up in the next few days. Sorry for people I haven't answered, or people who's journals I haven't commented on for a while! It's coming!
Oh my GOD I laugh so loud. I never used to laugh like that when I was younger but I knew, I just KNEW, I would inherit my mother's laugh. So now if you really get me going, I sound kinda like a banshee. A banshee on crack. Maybe all my shrieking laughter is punishing my neighbors for playing bad music.

06:31 pm - Writer's Block: Challenges I’ve Faced
A lot. My life has been full of hellish lessons. I want to say I'm a better person because of it. I honestly don't know. I feel like I'm an open book, but I suppose none of my friends really know what I went through in Ely. I joke about it, but I did spend ten years being abused in every way imaginable by just about everybody around me. The religious cults were bad, but being taken from my mother was probably the worst. Of course, I just thought it was normal to be taken away from her. Kids don't think about that sort of thing.
But hell, all that aside, that is NOTHING. I have never known anyone with a more horrific life story than this friend of my mother's. She was actually asked to be on Oprah, but refused because she's not over her past, even though she's in her later life now. It's a shame, though, because it could have given her organization more recognition. At any rate, her brother was killed by communist soldiers in China, her parents were sent to prison camps of some sort, and at 7 she was left to wander the streets, and was forced to wear a sign that said something vicious... I can't remember what. It said, "Daughter of ____" and there was some slur I can't recall that they were calling her parents (who had just been normal people. A seamstress and a dentist, I think.) People would throw food at her. A teacher once allowed his class to violently beat her. Actually, I think he encouraged them to. Then she ended up in some containment camp herself where she was forced to do... very horrible things that I can't even begin to describe. The story's horrifying icing on the cake is that she escaped and swam out of the place. (I don't know where... I know she got to America that way, but obviously she didn't swim here.) As she's swimming away from this prison, trying to escape, with men with guns standing in watch towers ready to shoot her if they see her, she's hitting objects floating in the water. The objects are bodies. Hundreds and hundreds of bodies of people who had tried to escape before her.
Honestly, I know it doesn't make my own experiences better, but hell, not a whole lot tops that. It makes me ill just thinking about it. I can't imagine the trauma and suffering she must still be going through. But she's clearly a better person and spends a good portion of her time helping other people, hence her organization.

02:10 am - Writer's Block: Spoilers Below the Cut
I was watching the Conan O'Brien show, or whatever, one night, and the actress he was interviewing accidentally gave away the ending to the movie she was in that hadn't come out yet.
"Yeah, and I'm in the scene where he dies..."
*cue audience gasping at realizing her error*
"...I... I mean... where he... is totally fine."
*goes to commercial*

Quick!!!
Name your top 5 (or 10) favorite songs and their genres! I need more music again, and I will dig through your interests, friend list.
DO IT. O___O
If you want to take it a step further, tell me why you like some, or all of them. I love to hear about people's perspectives of music.
PS! IN THREE WEEKS, I'LL BE ABLE TO THINK AGAIN! EXPECT A SLEW OF COMMENTS FROM ME!

On a side note... I want to thank everyone that stood up for me during the "strike through" thing. Seriously. I didn't realize until recently just how much people were supporting me.
Really, amidst all the negativity of that time period... thank you so much for speaking out for me. I wish I could find a way to really show my gratitude.

I'm not sure if anyone will read that, but I'm hoping the people that read Lock and Key and 101 will find it amusing. Maybe? >.>;

11:36 pm - WHOA. O___O
Weirdness....
Ok so... I was all excited that I was finally buying the third volume of Let Dai. It's a really awesome manga and if you haven't started reading it, you should.
But I was standing up at the registers, and I flipped it over, right? And I was just sort of looking at the summary and at the top there was this line.... And... it sounded oddly familiar. And I read it a couple times, and I was like, "Where the hell have I heard this before?"
And then I realized--
I wrote it.
I was like, What the fuck? This is my review! And they didn't even tell me. O_____O
See, here's the review, right?
http://www.boysonboysonfilm.com/manga/letdai.html
I wrote it back when the first book came out.
Now here's the third book's back cover:
( Warning, fairly large image... )
Wha??? What the??? I'm excited, and surprised and confused all at once! Shouldn't they have like... asked? Or told me? They didn't even put my name on it but it's mine.
So wtf... Something I wrote is now on a manga I love... I'm like, totally famous now. XD Lmao...
But still. That was SO WEIRD. O__O
