Closing Journal
December 9th, 2006 (02:49 pm)
Since I'm "officially" graduating as of the twentieth (note that I was done in July but my moronic school had paperwork issues so I couldn't be marked with summer semester grads) I've moved journals and won't be using this one any longer. If you're still by some chance interested in my madness, I can be located at 
fisher_queen Mmhmm.
I'd leave you with something profound but um...

I'm pondering leaving stories_100 I'm sort of bored with the idea lately, much as I'm thinking of dropping frisco_jack from Neg. He just isn't as much fun to me as Chris and with my ideas for another character to bring in at some point who'd get more attention than Jack too...Well...yeah.
And I've managed to get way behind at talking_muses so I should decide something about that too. I don't know, aside from Jack, I think it's because these are relatively solitary activities that I'm falling behind in them and losing interest.
What I really need is another rpg I think. I'll see once Camelot's got going...

November 16th, 2006 (12:12 pm)
current mood: pensive
Some people cry at weddings. I cry at knightings. There's something to be found in that statement about me somewhere. And in the fact that even this cheesy Whoppi Goldberg move (A Knight In Camelot) is making me sob uncontrollably for something I have never had, a place I will never see, in many ways, a place that never was save for the part that it has in our collective consciousness as something that, if it never was, it could have been, it should have been...I need for it to have been I...
I thought the breakdown over watching Camelot again now that these people have come to mean so much to me was bad enough, but now this...I think the fictions of a woman who found the place who felt and saw it, fiction though I know it all is...is just a little much for me to bear.
I'm seriously sitting here sobbing, my heart aching for this place I'll never venture, never touch...It hurts. It hurts so deeply and so fiercely that it feels like I'm about to break in two. How beautiful it must have been, how wonderful to see it, feel it, touch this place that exists in the realm of what might have been, what should have been, what is made real by those of us who so strongly believe in it.
I need for it to be more real than that or nothing else will ever be okay. Dammit, I think I'd be at home there, much as I would be in my beloved Riddermark, much as I only feel at home when I'm wandering around the quieter sections of the faire when only people who are garbed up are walking there.
I want to go home now. I want it so badly I...
It's the bringing it here that matters most now, even in some small insignificant way.
That's it. I may be too old to start, but I'm going for that knighthood, I am finishing my book, and I will make it live through my scholarly work and later teaching. I owe them that if nothing else.
Ask every person if he's heard the story And tell it strong and clear if he has not, That once there was a fleeting wisp of glory Called Camelot...
I'm going to go cry again now.
This is for you insane Neg People

Aunt and cousins and possiby married cousin and husband are coming over in a few hours so things here are chaotic and I needs must go with my mother before this to return a coat she's decided not to keep. I am going because my stepfather is in a horrible mood having flooded the basement yet again and I am not staying around for THAT.
I loff you people and I will be around later, well and probably for a little while now since the mother thing hasn't had a shower yet so...*nodnod* If I don't see you now I shall see you later!
There may be horror stories to come later on...actually I think this moving thing has made me want to write a book...something distinctively...postmodern in it's construct. Or you know, a crack fic about Gawain moving into his house...I'm not sure.
Something anyway... Maybe.
Remind me later to ask some of you people whether you'd be interested in arthurian_rp Oh oops I guess I did. Arthurian game in the process of opening. We have a tentative Gawain and Ragnell and Nimue and Morgan Le Fay, a definite Agravaine and Lancelot (My two!) and there might be others um...actually I'd contact modly lady who is listed in the info.
And um like yeah. Okay have to choose goldfish crackers for chex mix now so I'll cut off this entry and go bring them to my mom and then be on AIM for a little bit.
Loff!
And have Lady Mary icon I haven't used her in a while.

If I know the fandom, I'll tell you:
1. Who I love.
2. Who I want to stab to death in a painful pool of acid blood.
3. Who I would pair up.
4. Who I would split up.
5. Crossovers I would like.
6. The perviest storyline I can think of.
7. What I really think of the canon.
If I don't know the fandom, pick again

I'm courageous, straightforward, and charismatic. I'm a born leader, but I'm also not afraid to face danger on my own. Nothing stands between me and victory... nothing that lives to tell the tale, anyway. If you need someone to charge into battle for you, call on me.

Ew. Irritated now. Even the prospect of partying in Hell Michigan later, if we go, does not make me feel less irritated with the man. This in a string of other stuff he's done to be irritating, like telling me I have errors in my work and refusing to point them out while every email he sends us is riddled with spelling mistakes. And other shit.
I respect the guy's experiance but really. Meh. Just annoyed right now.

Horatio has opted to join talking_muses and fish_for_it is his journal over there if anyone should be interested in friending him.
He also, sadly has no friends of his own over there just yet (we've just been accepted today but still) and is kinda interested in people from his world coming out to play. My boy is still Acting Liuetenant Hornblower at this point, JUST past The Fireships so I'm not sure how that influences some of you or not. But...

I'm sure one of you would like to claim a character to do 50 rp scenes with one of mine. They also have a ten rp challenge if its easier to start there.
I can offer various Tolkien people, Anakin, Horatio, Ed Pellew, Potter people (best to just ASK if you don't know) Jack Sparrow, Anamaria, Gawain, Trystan and Lancelot from King Arthur and other people from various Arthurian stuff...
Please someone. Please. Do this with me? It will be fun.

Um. Like Whoa. Lancelot burst out laughing and grinning. Agravaine took a look at Cornwall, grinned really big and hugged me, and Ani is asking if this pans out, if we're prepared to move things up even more.
Just think what this could DO. Just think!
Um. Muahahahha. Way better than the Hornblower Con. Oh God Oh God Oh God. I HAVE to be able to go. I have to.
Here. Have Lancelot and Gawain icon, even though Agravaine is the one bouncing around wildly, I don't yet have icons of his new avatar...
This makes scrambling to set up interviews for my paper deadline Wednesday all the easier to bear.

It hasn't been the same without you. There's so much I never actually mentioned that you are responsible for. The whole reading the Silm thing which brought me the Feanorians, opening up the Riddermark and showing me the way to handle writing gracefully. I don't know if I've managed to get the last of those yet, but its thanks to you I'm trying to.

When your quest for a particular actor on google starts bringing up repeated pages in welsh, you know you've probably gone too far in your search for an avatar. When you start figuring out what the welsh MEANS by having stared at similar pages for so long, it's time to get a life.

Doesn't hurt either that the experiance has been made vastly more amusing by the presence of the people in my head and my new ability to make fun of them. Ah Horatio, you're even more delightfully awkward and adorable here than I have thus seen so far. Even if you are never allowed to come to the mall again.
On the other hand, that decreee has never really stopped Anakin so who knows? Such is life. Or something.

Oh Man. Snakes On A Plane kicked so much ass. There were about twenty of us in the theatre at the four fifteen show and about half of us started laughing hysterically the minute the title came up, at Sam's first entrance and the entrances of the various snakes.
Best movie I've seen this year, I liked it far better than POTC2 even (which I DID love but...) Awesome, Awesome Awesome. So much love for this hysterical film.
So when are YOU going to see it, muthafuckas?
