A reminder. [22 Dec 2005|01:58am]
[ mood | determined ]

This is a reminder to those who didn't take note, my lj has changed to [info]eikiji. All new posts will be there. I just noticed that a bunch of people on my friends list hadn't added [info]eikiji yet 'cause I tried to post on a couple friends only journals and couldn't. Please put [info]eikiji on your friends so I can talk to yoooooou!!

We've moved! [08 Nov 2005|07:42pm]
[ mood | optimistic ]

Decided to relocate my lj. I felt that the screen name [info]hanyou_no_miko was kinda old and getting lame (even though I am and will remain an Inuyasha fangirl X3 ) and thought something a little more personal would do better to define my intarwebboxmachine persona. Thus [info]eikiji. She's in my icon, she's the name of my dA account, she might as well be my lj handle too. So all previous posts can still be found here ([info]hanyou_no_miko) and from now on I'll be posting here ([info]eikiji). Sorry to make everyone re-add me to their friend lists. ^_^;

I need an adult! Oh wait.. that's me. [07 Nov 2005|04:42pm]
[ mood | accomplished ]

I was all responsible today. I cleaned the bathroom, did laundry, balanced the bills, tidied up my hard drive, paid my credit card and student loan for the month, and I'm about to go grocery shopping. I'll probably have to play some video games when I get home, just to balance it out.

Also, today Jesus helped me get the lawn mowed for ten bucks. Thanks Jesus! XD

Your father is a mime! [02 Nov 2005|07:23pm]
[ mood | geekity geek ]
[ music | The Rent Soundtrack ^_^ ]

So this weekend past was the closer for NERO SC (and only the second and final larp event I got to attend this entire year T_T) and it was a blast (even though a particular fanged human with a transformation beamed me in the head during the keep battle, ahem! XP). I reprised my earth scholar, Tiyahne (aka T), and there was much gypsy love had by all. A few amusing quotes from the weekend:

Katarina (Carol): "Oh shit hole!" (which spawned 'flaming shit hole' after we visited the fire plane later ^_~)

T (me) to an undead clown who was telling bad jokes: "Your father is a mime!"
Clown: *long pause* "Okay, on a list of things I can tolerate, that is just crossing the line."

*during a discussion with another gypsy and Simon (Steve) of whether or not there should be interracial marriages*
T: "Well of course. What? Am I to deny someone a gypsy?"
Simon (Steve): *chuckle* "That is what a gypsy would say."

Gah.. there was other funny lines, but I can't recall them right now. I'll add them if I remember.

Here's some photos! It was so cold this weekend! Brrrr....

The gyspies, the dark elf, and the Lone Dancer )

We started getting all of our holiday stuff at work and it's crazy time. I am going to be so friggin' busy until Christmas has passed. -_- On the up side, we're playing the Rent movie soundtrack in the store which makes me want to see it so unbelievably bad! Me and one of my bosses were going around the store singing it today. She said we should all go see it the night it opens. Hell yes, I am so there.

Saw Serenity last night. At 10:30 in an empty ('cept for us) theater. Dressed up as Mal. Hooha! Verdict: movie roxxors. I had an angry "Ohmigod you didn't!!!" moment... involving a particular scene that will remain unmentioned for fear of spoilers. If you've seen the movie, chances are you know what I'm talking about (see subject line). That aside, very much happy time geek yay weeha!

Yesterday I found the Clue movie (and also Dragon Slayer!) in the $5 bin at Walmart. Today I got a 25 cent raise and I now officially own my car.

Still haven't been to see Serenity yet, but we've watched Firefly in it's entirety almost twice now in preparation. I also made a Mal costume out of $5 worth of Goodwill finds.

Super awesome!

Advent Children for teh win! X3

I hate weather. I heart pizza! [04 Sep 2005|10:48pm]
[ mood | piiiiizzaaaaaaaa ]

So looks like all my family and friends made it through Katrina, though some of them may be lacking homes now. I was angry about my trip being ruined (I was visiting home that week), but compared to some of the folks who still live down there, I'll just shut my yap. I already posted some stuff here.

I might have to get a Georgia license plate within the next month. I have decided that I will be getting a vanity plate just like I have aaaaaaalways wanted. I still don't know what I want it to say though. So far my list contains: redmage, oh noes, & omg wtf. I tried to do something like 1d4+1 but you can't have a plus sign and you need to have atleast two letters. Suggestions of combinations of letters and/or numbers for a total of 7 or less characters would be super.

Surprise! KRISTY'S REFERRAL LINK: http://www.freeiPods.com/?r=21270312

Why Do Men Have Nipples is hilarious. I purchased it as soon as we got it in. Lolz!

I wonder if this is as entertaining/informative as the back cover leads it to be. I agree with the blurb in any case.

Nothing to do with the book, but this title amused me since I go around saying that alot. Especially to Cathe. ^^ "Yay! You win! By losing!" XD

On a seemingly unrelated note, if I ever catch any of you in a store putting something back where you did not get it from I will fucking kill you.

Now I will go consume pizza. That is all.

It's getting hot in here! So take off all your clothes! [18 Aug 2005|12:51pm]
[ mood | hot ]
[ music | Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc. ]

Our AC is broked! Cry! It's so very very hot in our house! Almost makes me want to go to work! Waaah!! ;_;

Speaking of work, while I was helping an older lady find a book in christian inspiration the other day, she suddenly says to me, "Your hair do looks like a wig." I looked at her odd and said, "Thank you!" I will choose that to be a compliment, but nevertheless, I was entirely amused.

On the whole, I hate customers. Especially the stupid ones on the phone. Because they can't see the angry faces I'm making.

A favor? [12 Aug 2005|04:12pm]

Okay. So I'm caving in here.

I'm sure everyone and their mother knows all about freeipods.com by now. It has been proven to be true. They will actually ship you a free ipod. They get their revenue from people who either forget to cancel their offers or the folks who get less than the required number of referrals. I've occassionally checked out the site to see what offers were on there. Usually it's just crap like credit card offers and stupid things you'd never care about. Though there was a Blockbuster one that I almost signed up for once.

Today I was randomly downloading some music and thought I should peek in 'cause I'd really like to have an mp3 player and I do so enjoy the word free (even if a nominal fee does apply). There's an offer now to sign up for Rhapsody (which is a music downloading service) for a month at $0.99 and get credited instantly. Less than a dollar, 5 free mp3 downloads, cancel it in a week and that's it. And even if you don't cancel it right away, it's only $9.99 a month. Hell, I'd pay $11 for an ipod. Sure beats the $300 or whatever the hell they run.

So here's my request. I need five of you (one per ip address) to sign up a new hotmail account (that way you won't get spam to any addy you care about... brilliant, eh?), click the referral link, sign up for the Rhapsody offer (it requires a credit card for the 99 cents), and I will personally give you a dollar and a hug once it's gone through. Then you can either persue your own ipod or just cancel Rhapsody, delete the hotmail account, spend your dollar on a bag of chips, and never worry about it again.

You know I love you. ^_^

I work in a bookstore! Whoo! [29 Jul 2005|11:33am]
[ mood | hungry ]
[ music | FFCC which makes me want our costumes done even more! Rar! ]

Sometimes while I'm working, I'll pick up a random book and flip through it a bit. Now I share some thoughts with you on that subject.

I hatey hate hate mchate Cormac McCarthy and it makes me angry that I have to put him on the bestsellers list. "I'm Cormac McCarthy! The silly laws of grammar and punctuation do not apply to me! Everyone thinks I'm a great writer anyway!" FULL OF RAGE! >_<

Speaking of bestsellers that make me angry, why oh dear god why, is Confesssions of a Video Vixen on bestsellers?!?!? What is wrong with you people!!?!

I shelved this book a few days ago and laughed really loudly right in the middle of the children's department. Kristina: The Girl King. ^_~

Is anyone else severely creeped out by this cover? Snake tongue aside, there is just something severely wrong there. Several things. Everything. I kept walking around the store with that book and asking my coworkers if they were creeped out. They pretty much all shuddered. I'll take that as a yes.

I'm angry that now, after I already own the entire series of Bone in one ginormous happy volume, noooow they release it in color. Screw you guys!

While calling customer orders yesterday, I noticed someone had ordered Warlands. I'd forgotten all about Warlands! I love that series! I'm gonna have to buy me s'more comics now.

.hack//AI Buster finally got translated! I squeed! Yayers!

I finally compressed my .hack amv last night so that I might actually make a con deadline in time. I've had the stupid thing completed for nearly a year, but I keep forgetting to submit it. Well it's going to be at AWA this year dammit! Rar! We really need to start on our costumes....

I wish Cathe would hurry up and wake up so we can play FFXI. SUMMERFEST SWIMSUITS WHOO! ^_^

Toffee eclairs. [18 Jul 2005|04:29am]
[ mood | frustrated & also very happy ]

HP&HBP finished! A few things, vaguely as I can stand to be currently:

1. I guessed right! MUWAHAHAHA! XD
2. OMG! O_O
3. WHY!?!? ;_;
4. WHO!? >_<
5. And oh yeah.... teehee!!! TEEHEE, I SAY! X3

I think I nearly had a heart attack through the last two hours of it. And I cried... even though I tried not to. Damn you, Rowling! Damn you and your pretty words that will now make falling asleep nearly impossible! I WANT THE 7TH ONE NOW DAMMIT!! YARGABABLE!

Actually, I've got some pretty damned good theories concerning 3 and 4 (and guessing things correctly in books/tv/movies is one of my mutant super powers ^_~), but I'll keep them to myself so not as to ruin Year 6 for anyone who hasn't finished/started it yet.

Number 5... teehee! ^_^ <3

Your Brain is 40.00% Female, 60.00% Male


You have a total boy brain

Logical and detailed, you tend to look at the facts

And while your emotions do sway you sometimes...

You never like to get feelings too involved




Hehe.. I have the mind of a 12 year old boy! PoopoocacaPEEPEE!

We're gonna participate in the Neilsen ratings next week. Will have to make sure to watch a lot of tv. ^_^

Oh and as for the KotDT thing, the comic store was out of the issue so I won't have it for another week. Sad.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince at midnight tonight! Whoo! XD
