Mar. 16th, 2012 03:49 pmCreepy: They have developed a robot that can send electrical signals to control a cockroach's brain. Make it move around how they want it to. Imperius Curse, anyone?
Awesome: Just read the Hunger Games series!

Mar. 11th, 2012 06:29 pmIt's later than everyone else, but I didn't check my flist for a couple days, and could really do with spreading some love.
Comment here and I'll tell you three things I particularly like about your specific interpretation of a character you play now or have played in the past. Be sure to post this in your journal as well and spread the love!

Mar. 4th, 2012 05:50 pmIt's Girl Scout Cookie time again. Tagalongs and Thin Mints are classics and I LOVE them, but this year we got one of the new flavors, Dulce de Leche, because my mother loves caramel. I hate to say it but they're kind of a let down. :-\ Did anyone get the new lemon ones? They took away Lemon Chalets and replaced them with a new lemon cookie, and I'm a little wary.

Mar. 1st, 2012 05:31 pmDTW folk, reverse pimp me, please? I feel fairly confident that I can handle a third, but I'm seeking inspiration. I'd prefer a man, since I have two ladies already, but if you just can't resist pleading the case for a woman, do. I'm mulling over Patrick Dervish, Porter Warwick, Jonathan Bones, or some seriously random person with a really weird job, like tattoo artist or international spy or the male stripper who DIDN'T get hired for Moira's bachelor party.

Feb. 13th, 2012 09:32 pmI actually like the show a lot too, which is funny because I was never an American Idol person, singing shows don't do much for me normally. Possibly it's that they don't see them so everyone gets a fair break? But my favorite part about this show this season is in this icon I stole from Julie.

Feb. 13th, 2012 03:21 amMost of the people who oblige my greedy wants already have all the characters they can at DTW, but just. in. case.
I remain really bummed out that Grace stands alone in her family. She has a father, mother, older (married with baby/babies) sister, older brother (has a very pretty, very smart girlfriend already cast though the player seems flexible), and fraternal twin sister, and several options for possible cousins. Slightly better connected family-wise because she has two dear cousins, Rosmerta also has an older sister and older brother who could maybe be played. Family always seems the impossible get in a game unless it's a big family like the Doges or McKinnons or Warwicks, but on the off chance that this works, I will offer so much love you won't know what to do with it and make icons and whatever else you want. Bribery, ftw?
Also, random fact: I simply can't make it the whole way through Toy Story 3 without tearing up.

westcorpmods. It's an AU, set primarily in modern-day NYC (though the various locations from the book are spread out around the world), and taking place after the death of Mad King Aerys. Since people may say oh lord, everyone's taken - no, if everyone was taken, it would be ten times the size of DTW. But seriously, there's good characters left to be held, people. I held Brienne, and I'd love to see a Meribald or a Vargo Hoat or Hyle Hunt. Rena is going to need a Bronn and a Penny and a Jorah. Honestly, there's tons of people left!

Honestly, there's tons of people left!- Does your character believe in true love or soul mates? Love at first sight?
- Are they or have they ever been in love?
- What are their general feelings about sex?
- How do they feel about sex without love?
- What about sex before marriage?
- What counts as cheating and is cheating forgivable?
- Have they or would they ever cheat?
- Are they a virgin?
- First partner? Most recent?
- What sort of experience do they have with sex?
- How comfortable are they with their body?
- With their partner's body?
- Who gave them "The Talk"?
- Post-sex habits? Weird habits?
Or, ask any of my characters any other questions about sex/love/relationships/preferences/kinks/etc!

Jan. 5th, 2012 01:19 pmUpdate on the fortune cookies: I feel better about having a fortune cookie call me fat. Why? One, I've been at the gym three of the past five days. Two, I saved more fortunes to compile into a list for you, because I have been inspired to someday have a character whose occupation is to write fortunes, and have them be monumentally inept.
- A confidential tip will clue you in to a great financial deal. Imagine the pyramid and ponzi schemes that people would fall into if they believed this. One of my former co-workers was always trying to sell Kangen Water Systems to EVERYONE he spoke to; those things are expennnnsive.
- Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. Whether or not it is, we can debate. What we cannot debate is that this is in no way a fortune.
- A good deed makes you feel good. Again, not so much a fortune as a general life statement made by someone with poor vocabulary.
- You might prosper in the field of medicine. And I might prosper in the field of deep ocean welding, too, but both seem a little unlikely? I appreciate the contrast between the specificity of the field and the uncertainty about the success, for everyone who is gravely afraid of needles or faints at the sight of blood.
- If you've got it, flaunt it. No commentary needed, other than maybe to pair it with "Work on improving your exercise routine."

Dec. 29th, 2011 06:12 pmASOIAF Fans: 6100 word Theon Chapter from The Winds of Winter! The flip side of this is that... he said he's written 12000 words. :| So, two chapters. 8[
This book is coming out in 2016 or something, I bet. GRRM, DO YOU NOT KNOW THE APOCALYPSE IS COMING MUCH, MUCH SOONER??? I HAVE TO KNOW WHO JON'S REAL PARENTS ARE BEFORE THE WORLD ENDS. The rest, meh, I can take it or leave it. >.>

World's rudest DirectTV man, at our house right now. He came two and a half hours before his scheduled time and is now crashing through the house, stomping around while practically running through the place, throwing open doors so hard they bang into walls, knocking shit over, tracking mud around, and drilling holes in the walls and floor, telling my mother "No, we don't guarantee any of our work, you should buy the insurance package, then you don't have to pay if we have to come out again." We had to take everything out of my closet (a hope chest and two big Rubbermaid tubs and all my clothes) and stack it by my bed so he can get to the crawl space under the house, and he's acting all put-out that it took ten minutes. This man is the definition of boorish.
Violet would be aghast right now. I need to possess Maggie Smith's face.

UTTERLY UNRELATED but not really worthy of posting twice in one afternoon - DTW people:
- Would anyone happen to have the muse for a wife/mother of the Pureblood variety, somewhere in the 26-32 range, for a non-DE-still-Walpurgis newsman with the PB of Rupert Penry-Jones for your hubby and 2-3 daughters, with a son in a year or two?
- Does anyone with a Pureblood family need a sister, 23-27?
- So, I have all these ideas for Rosmerta, but no connections for her. I want her to be a Halfblood Hufflepuff ~31-ish, but I wouldn't mind a cousin or sibling, possibly a gentleman friend? War widow, no children; Order friendly though she tries to appear neutral to keep the Three Broomsticks friendly enough for anyone to frequent. Reads a lot, very kind/jovial/good-natured, absolutely spectacular bosoms.

Dec. 4th, 2011 03:03 amWow. I was out of the loop and didn't check my flist for two days and now... like, 70% of you are playing/holding at a game I've never heard of that currently has ZERO lady characters available to hold unless you wanna be Umbridge or Carrow... Bully.

Nov. 13th, 2011 07:02 pmI have no voice. :( This may be gross, but, I got seasick on the ferry there - - does anyone know if you can lose your voice from throwing up? Does it cause permanent damage?
BUT, I have had a fun weekend withchthonian who is darling and dear. We had oodles of fun, even when we were just being lazy in our super cute private room at the hostel, watching Parks & Rec and eating food. The weather was windy and rainy and generally ick, so we wound up seeing 50/50 and In Time, trying to stay indoors, etc.
Now I am home, and my mother has somehow fucked up my dad's brand new computer, and she's all "IIIIII don't know what happened!" I wish I could go back to Victoria. >.<

Nov. 7th, 2011 12:24 amI wonder if Sabrina posted this in hopes of getting an offer of a tent, and part way through wound up shaking her head and wondering how things went so grossly awry.

Oct. 26th, 2011 01:41 pmUGH, LJ. I'm not even there but for one music community really, but they modified something in their code so that LJ-Login (and all derivatives) no longer works with their site, w/o letting the coder or anyone else know, and will now not release what it is they changed so that he can fix his add-on.
Squeaky, PLEASE don't follow suit. :( I left you a little love in ~announcements in hopes that you won't, and because this site is generally great and my interwebs RP home.
EDIT: Afterthebodypolitic commented, I thought I'd PSA this -- the most recent push also introduced a bug that is logging people into the wrong account at random. She found herself logged into an account she's never owned, able to see all of their private entries and bio information. Since she's not evil, she promptly logged out, but then has been left wondering: if she wound up in someone else's journal, who wound up in hers? Longstoryshort, if you have any identifying personal info in any livejournal accounts (name, location, credit card info from payment pages, etc.) even if it's set to be private, should someone accidentally wind up in your account, they're viewing it.
