I should be posting about my day, but this amused me too much.

Here's another e-mail, brought to you by a guy I would like to call My Blathering, Self-Righteous Idiot of the Day:


SUBJECT LINE: I want to be a fan, but...

Please stop making gay stories for bleach or any other anime show. Because it's sick. Why do you people want to see two men fucking each other? If you want something to write about then here is a few people to write about. ByakuyaxMomo byakuyaxNanao ByakuyaxUnohana ByakuyaxYoruichi ByakuyaxRangiku ByakuyaxRukia ByakuyaxOrihime. Try this you will get better results.



Suffice to say, I was Amused. Capital letter intended.

Here's my response:



i there! I have some suggestions of my own to give to you. :3

First: try to avoid telling writers what to do. I don't tell you what to read, so don't tell me what to write.

Second: review your basic punctuation and grammar lessons from high school. People might actually be inclined to listen to you if you knew how to write properly.

Thanks for writing, but don't think I'm going to stop anytime soon~



Honestly, I have a special place in my heart for these people. They remind me of how much better my life is in comparison to their own.

Second post will follow about more mundane things when I get home, maybe. In order news, I FINALLY have a copy of Privilege of the Sword
Konking out early last night really, REALLY helped, but I STILL woke up before 7:00 AM. >_> I managed to go back to sleep and kinda recover that lost hour though. Pio and Mai Mai had slept over although I didn't even get to greet them since I went to bed early, so breakfast was pretty lively. It was too bad that my parents had this thing in Batangas (Barrion Foundation scholars, yo~) -- at the rate we were all going, we could've sat there, talking all the way until lunch.

Mai was asked to give this talk to the incoming Management Engineering freshmen in Ateneo, so she camped out in my room, working on her Powerpoint on Aidan!Laptop while I poked around and flailed with [livejournal.com profile] yukitsu before she and I both had to leave FOR PHILIPPINES KOUSHIEN!. I hitched a ride with Mai in order to do English Department things. It turns out that since the department's underloaded with regard to professors, I'm going to be teaching nine units rather than six: I might also handle a Lit 13 class.

This excites me and scares me. More classes means more stuff to check, more people to deal with and overall, more pressure. There's also the fact that I'll be studying at the same time, and-- well, let's just say that when I was writing out my schedule from tomorrow all the way to June 10 (the start of classes), I really, REALLY needed to smoke. @_@

...It was nice, though, watching Ate Josie fixing up the cubicles and seeing my name taped up in one of them. I hope I'll do well.

Anyway, the rest of the day went swimmingly~ met up with [livejournal.com profile] lonelybusiness, [livejournal.com profile] ficcentricity and, of course, [livejournal.com profile] yukitsu -- [livejournal.com profile] synatri came around later, AND I'M ACTUALLY EDITING THIS POST TO ADD THIS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I FORGOT HER IN THE ORIGINAL POST. *is shot* Yukeh went to get the charger for her DS replaced, but beyond that we were just flailing around and bitching/chatting/spazzing/fangirling the whole day. I think I totally amused them with my whole "WHAT GAME DO I GET" dilemma, but I walked out of it with WhorePuppy!Zack an original of Crisis Core at the end. I've updated the wishlist accordingly. YUKEH, SRSLY, I LOVE YOU LONG TIME.

On that note, expect to see a Paranoia Meme here soon.

Peter was with the driver when he came to pick me up -- I later dropped him off at Eastwood and headed home (THE TRAFFIC, IT WAS MIRACULOUSLY NONEXISTENT). Emails yielded this badly punctuated review that was trying very hard to flame one of my fics but failing miserably; apparently, FF.net has a thing with sending me stupid people to slap bad reviews these days. I emailed the idiot back and told it (yes, I say "it") that I'm happy it reviewed, but really, I can't take it seriously since its grammar and punctuation fail on so many different levels. I'm expecting this loser to reply with another flame, but I don't intend to read it.

Parents aren't coming home, so I'm prolly going to take a puff or two in my room. Btw, [livejournal.com profile] daniela_lynx, thank you SO MUCH for linking me to that post with all those add-ons! I've gone ballistic installing them. ♥

Tomorrow will probably be spent studying (MUST. MAKE. LESSON PLANS.) and fixing that new layout I mentioned a post or two back.

Wow, I really DO belong on FF.net. I've been blessed by my first flame from Flame Rising -- he's infamous for prodding people like this.


Let’s play a game, shall we? Yes? Fantastic.

This game is called “Things That Can Write Better Than You”. The rules are simple. Please correctly select which choice can write better than you:

A. My left testicle
B. A toilet-full of chunky diarrhea
C. An inbred midget clown who swims in choice B
D. All of the above

If you chose the correct answer, D, then you have won the following prize:

A spot in my coveted C2 “Stories A Turd Out of My ** Could Write Better” (which, strangely enough was not one of the choices). Don’t despair! Even if you didn’t choose correctly, I will be kind enough to give you that prize anyway. Who said I don’t have a heart?

Congratulations! Please continue to avoid the dictionary as if it were an oozing, puss-filled sore on an old hooker’s a.s.s. And good grammar? Well, run away from it like it’s a festering syphilitic itch you just can’t scratch in public. Or in words you can understand: your fic sucks donkey balls, and that’s what you wanted me to think, right? Because otherwise, I’d have to believe this was an actual attempt at writing and laugh the crap right out of myself.

Best regards,
F/R



Lulz. I wonder if he actually thinks that real writers will buy this bullshit. I suppose he was hoping that I'm one of those fangirls that'll go "WAAAAAAAAAAAH SOMEBODY'S PICKING ON MEEEEE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE I'M GONNA KILL MYSELF NAO."

Anyway, RL post to follow. I had to post this first because it amused me.
ExpandMEME TIEM! )




Spent my morning burning off some of my accumulated shit on DVD-Rs, and promptly spent the rest of the day reading The Marriage Stone, a Harry Potter fic that [livejournal.com profile] kye_kestrel referred to me. Keywords: Snape, Harry, forced marriage.

Hold your horses, fangirls. It's a commendable fic and it's epic, but srsly: the prose REEKS pretentiousness. And don't read the author's notes unless you're up for an unhealthy dose of Ficcer Going MEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEAWESOMEMEMEMEMEMEMEME like, 98% of the time.

I'm not going to drop a review. If I did, I may be inclined to bitchslap her with something like "Reading Beowulf does not a smart person make" or something less-than-nice.

Seriously, though. It's an interesting fic.




Work tiem again tomorrow. Also: the animu that have come out so far look good. Kurenai, especially. AND DAMN IT WHERE ARE MY SUBS FOR MACROSS FRONTIER?! I CAN ONLY GET SO FAR ON WATCHING A RAW EPISODE, PEOPLE.
So now that the political funnies are out of the way...

As I said in this entry, I went offline for most of the weekend in order to party hard with [livejournal.com profile] khursten and party harder with my family.

FRIDAY: Spent the morning fixing porn KHR doujinshi (and throwing some of the good titles that I found in a [livejournal.com profile] yukitsu's flashdrive, which she forgot to bring back home with her the last time she was over). I zipped over to Makati after lunch, and met up with [livejournal.com profile] khursten and Yuecchin at Greenbelt. We drank Starbucks stuff, chillaxed and talked randomness up until [livejournal.com profile] yukitsu turned up, and then it was straight to a wonderful dinner with [livejournal.com profile] shadowstaff, [livejournal.com profile] raishiro, [livejournal.com profile] kitsune_jade, [livejournal.com profile] psychoshoujo (and boyfriend, who I think I made jealous throughout the course of the evening, or at least shocked him with GAYGAYGAY on his beloved mech and game titles), [livejournal.com profile] seraph_dreams, Abby, [livejournal.com profile] sortinghatlover and [livejournal.com profile] magnetic_rose (...Am I forgetting anybody?).

We all went wild at the karaoke bar. SNAKE EATER FTW. I AM COMING BACK FOR THE MACROSS, I PROMISE.

I went to sleep over at Khursten's with Rael and Rotch at around 1:00 AM. Meann and Yukeh ended up coming along too. Yukeh couldn't resist the DS. :3


SATURDAY: Didn't really sleep much at all, but I woke up for realz a little before 7:30 -- [livejournal.com profile] khursten was already up before then, and everyone else kinda-sorta followed suit. We fangirled some more, ate a good breakfast and them headed out since Khursten had to bring her mom to this graduation ceremony thingie for this course she took and Meann, Yukeh and I had this NBDB event to catch with regard to the anthology I'm a part of.

Of the NBDB event, I will not speak. Ask me in person. Somebody asked for my autograph though, so that was cool?

ANYWAY, after that brain-numbing shit Meann, Yukeh and I hopped over to Shangrila, where Meann and I camped out at Penang Hill to wait for [livejournal.com profile] synatri while Yukeh picked [livejournal.com profile] kye_kestrel up. I CAN HAS A NISHIURA CAP! If you wanna know what it looks like, go over to Yukeh's LJ plz. X3

Yukeh eventually arrived with Lynffles in tow (AND JUST IN TIME BECAUSE ELLIE HAD TO LEAVE! *crai*). [livejournal.com profile] ficcentricity turned up later, which cued us all going down to Cravings in order to fulfill her cravings for cake. Yukeh also summoned [livejournal.com profile] lonelybusiness, who had apparently texted us sometime during our fangirling but we sorta missed out on it for a while. ._. GOMEN NASAI, KRISTEL, WE LOVE YOU LOTS.

I ended up leaving first since I had to make it in time for my Dad's party in the evening, which included attending the anticipatory Palm Sunday Mass. Pio and Mai Mai came along with us, and Petrik and Yas (WITH ANIKA!) also came around sometime during the celebration. Dinner was lurvely. I CAN HAS MY COUSIN [livejournal.com profile] ryvaeus AGAIN.

Sleeping early would've been the smarter idea, but I decided to check downloads, LJ (200 ENTRIES OF BACKLOG, WTF WERE YOU ALL ON?) and chatting a bit with Yukeh and JP. *snug*

That pretty much sums up my weekend. Khursten has poloroid evidence of her stuff, and my Dad (using this funky Gorillapod thing that Pio and Mai gave to him) has plenty of pics on his end.




Being able to spend my whole Sunday at home is a rarity, and I plan on taking advantage of it in order to fix/read more porn in order to write. I has a [livejournal.com profile] 31_days deadline that I want to make by evening, since I think my Muse has finally recovered from Khursten's 25-drabble whopper of a birthday gift.

EDIT at 7:05 PM: 31 Days ficlet posted. Also: [livejournal.com profile] kitsune_jade, I did your two other crossover requests @ [livejournal.com profile] stitchedophelia.
About the only things I managed to achieve today were:

A.) Going to the doctor to zap more hair off my upper lip.
B.) Manning the Litsoc Book Sale area while everyone else had class.

I was supposed to go to class, meet up with people and help out with the Formations talk this afternoon, but I forgot all my notebooks/readings at home, along with the one extra battery for my cellular phone. The latter part shouldn't have been a problem, but it just had to happen on the one day my phone died. T_T Scratch that. I just rummaged around in my bag and discovered that it was there all along. *fail!!!*

I suppose I should consider myself lucky that one class and my thesis consultation were canceled.

...Somebody convince me to finish Mists of Avalon. It's such a long and boring and estrogen-pumped book that not even the possibility of a Arthur/Gwenhyfar/Lancelot threesome can jostle me into picking it up again. I've finished about 3-4 novels aside from the damned book already. >_<

I think I'm high on paint fumes right now. So much for reviewing Theology and putting in more Odin Sphere tiem.

On another note, I'd devote this entry to talking about the general stupidity of people who think that a certain group invited to a certain convention for their so-called "avant-garde" work are TEH AWESUM AND WOW AND DA BEST THING SINCE FLAVORED TOOTHPASTE!, but I think everything that needs to be said has been said by better people than myself.

Maybe I'll just post about it elsewhere.

:D

And now, another feature for LOLLERSKATES!, my new term for all manners of stupid that I have encountered this year.

I just got this review on one of my stories on Fanfiction.net:


It sucked more than I thought it would.
You used the word pervert wrong.
Go die.
Take a shower for the first time in you life.
It is really short.
You are just a wimp with no life.



Of course, that thoroughly amused me after spending a whole day, kicking ass on Persona 3. Hence, my response:


Thanks for the review~

You might want to try actually writing fanfiction before you senselessly flame someone. Furthermore, you may want to consider responding with more constructive criticism rather than something along the lines of "OMG YOU SUCK!" without actually saying why. o_o

By the way, it's "your life", not "you life". It would be good to brush up on your grammar before you tell people how they should and shouldn't use words. ^_^



YOU LIFE, PPL, YOU LIFE!!!!! DDDDD:

On other news, my LAN cable keeps getting dislodged. I think it has something to do with the fact that my brother is playing Sim City 4 on the PC outside. And he moves around a lot. And the machinery's delicate. So yeah.
Here's a little something courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] yukitsu and I.


How to Get Published if You're a Crappy Writer.


Step 1. Have lots of money.
Step 2. Have lots of ego.
Step 3. Have lots of arrogance.
Step 4. Make sure you're thick-skinned.
Step 5. Barring that, get publisher parents.
Step 6. Con someone from the publishing house.
Step 7. Get someone stupid to read your manuscript. Make sure it's scented with cocaine.


I can already think of one person to send this to since she used to bitch about not getting published, but that'd just be mean, huh? :D
