What I meant to do to-day was work on my dissertation (I did go to the library, though, so not complete failure). What I meant to do instead was draw some Innovator porn ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
misshallelujah put in my head. What I did instead instead, was draw this:
On Tegaki:
And not on Tegaki:
Nigel Thornberry: secretly the man of your dreams Y/Y?
To-day has obviously been a very orange day.

Guys, remember this, when I discovered my new favourite robots blow shit up show was going to cater to my androgyny kink big-time?
Thought: If I, hypothetically, got both of these and put them next to each other, they would look like some bizarrely classy Team Rocket.

Hay gaiz, I maded some icons to-day. I was going to make some Blue Drop (*quietly fangirls*) ones afterwards, but there's only so long a person can spend staring at a 100px by 100px square at 300 times magnification shifting the cropping two pixels at a time to get it just right.
Not that I put way too much effort into it, don't be preposterous. And I don't even put any fancy filters or whatnot onto them, so no-one can even tell. No-one except my ridiculous little perfectionist soul. XD
Does anyone know any good icon comms, by the way? I usually pimp myself out to![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
quality_icons and _fandom_icons_ (and anime_icons, but that seems to have disappeared while I wasn't looking), but I thought I should spread my amazing talents to a wider audience. For the betterment of humanity, you understand.
Joni Mitchell: We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall... ♫
Tim: She's very adamant about not needing any official documentation. I think her local government official might have a different opinion on that.
ETA: Speaking of Maria†Holic, I have an awesomely pervtastic wallpaper at the moment. Not really sure why I felt compelled to share that. It amuses me, anyways. (What is it with those weird shiny bits on the leg, though? They make me think of burns. Never really got that style of colouring.)

So, putting aside the fact that Setsuna poops rainbow sparkles of love, some other stuff:
REGENE PWNS EVERYONE; THAT WAS SO WIN.
I was going to be all 'aw, Billy, you fail at politics', but then I realised most of the characters in this are making important decisions that influence the future of mankind because of who they want to lay. Oh, humanity. You never change.
Louise's mech is really cool. Too bad it didn't live long.
Also, SETSUNA POOPS RAINBOW SPARKLES OF LOVE. THEY BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER. IN SPARKLY RAINBOW LOVE. (Thus, I suppose, getting rid of the whole I'd-hit-that political motivation problem. But mainly they are just sparkly.)
IN OTHER NEWS. We didn't end up seeing Watchmen after all, yesterday, because intelligent students at a prestigious university that we are, we both LOCKED OUR KEYS INSIDE THE HOUSE. So we had to wait for someone from the estate agency to come and let us in. (It's also a good thing that there's a To-Let sign by our door with their number on it, because since I'm the designated organised person who talks to people when it comes to house stuff, only I had the number on my phone, and that's dead.)
We did go to Newcastle and have milkshakes, though, so not all was lost. And I bough volume 3 of Mail, even though I was really really resolved not to spend any money. It was only one thing! And Mail is win.
They also had a stack of these brochures lying around at Travelling Man (comics & games store), so I picked one up. It's not like Watchmen was my introduction to graphic novels - I've been reading webcomics since shortly after I discovered the iternet, after all - but although I wanted to read more of them I've never been able to find a way in, if you know what I mean. So I thought I might as well take advantage of this. It has Y: the Last Man in it, which I always thought sounded kind of dumb, but I read a free sample chapter online a while ago, and it made me really really want to know what happens next, so that's first on my to-buy list when I get money/a job.
Oh yes, and the ANE professor emailed me saying he's passed the Extension Request on to the relevant official people, so I'd better get on with writing that essay now that I've unwound and relaxed a little. Shall head over to library later.

Drew a badly-laid-out comic thing on TegakiE about a character that came from a doodle, who I named Interrobang for lack of any better ideas.
I am too tired for non-inane sentences to-day. >_> I mean, I was going for a vaguely storybook feel, or something, but it just sounds inane, doesn't it? That last panel is just a bit terrible, as well, but I'm also too tired to go back over it. BLAH BLAH BLAH COMPLAIN. I do actually think this is pretty neat, otherwise I wouldn't be showing it off.
TegakiE still makes my life.
Anyway! So. Handed in one of my essays and my Illustration portfolio. Will hopefully get extension on my other essay, which I just didn't have the time to finish. It all depends on whether the professor for that module checks his email and/or pigeon hole any time soon and feels like being magnanimous.
Though if he doesn't I should be able to re-take it if I have to. It's only half a module out of six, but I'd like to avoid it bringing down my grade if I can. Because that would be epic fail. I'm meant to be good at this school stuff.
In other news, my phone is still dead and I'm going to finally see Watchmen tomorrow.
Ooh, also! I have been playing Chrono Trigger on the DS! It is pretty good so far! Happy RPG funtiems!

I'm going to add 'exercise twice a week' to my list of goals and things to do during my gap year. I need to get into shape and raise my blood pressure and all that good stuff. Bleeding out the girlparts at the moment, and just walking to the library and back made me feel dizzy and a bit ill. Yeah, blood loss and all, but it's only a 25 minute walk each way. I gotta man up, yo. Or something.
Additionally fail: my phone is... well, not dead, but unusable. It ran out of a battery a few days ago, and when I turned it on again after charging, it told me the handset was incompatible and prompted me to enter some sort of unlock code. I'm going to take it to the 3 store before my lectures tomorrow and get them to fix it. I sort of hope that, instead of the inconvenient but easily fixable glitch it probably is, it'll somehow turn out to be all their fault and they'll give me free stuff. I like free stuff. XD
I watched the latest 00 episode to-daaaay. I amtorn between LULZ and T_T withholding my opinion until the end, because it definitely felt like Finale Part 1 rather than a self-contained episode.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to take you to an establishment serving alcohol to a mainly homosexual clientele, at which I suggest, if you are agreeable, we commence thermonuclear hostilities.
I would further like to inquire upon the standing of your finances. It is my intention to invest them in their entirety at aforementioned establishment. Also while at said establishment, I have something I would like to insert into your person.
For indeed, in this establishment, you are a person of great renown.
Love, Me.
To completely change the subject, someone should write a historeligious (religio-historical? Neither of those are real words, are they.) novel in which Jesus is just an ordinary mortal human being who sees a lot of crappy things going on in the world but realises that there's nothing he can really do about it... unless he can become a successful travelling preacher/prophet and gain a large following, then maybe he has a small chance to gain some influence.
But the stress of that lifestyle begins to get to him, until he starts believing his own stories and becoming increasingly confused over whether or not he is the son of God and has mystical powers, causing much general worry and awkwardness among those of his disciples who are in on the joke. He eventually sinks so far into delusion that, by the time he's sentenced to death he completely believes he's doing it in some sort of divine sacrifice.
Or maybe a small part of him doesn't, but thinks it would make just the story to ensure his movement is perpetuated long after his death, we're not entirely sure. His disciples are still feeling conflicted and unhappy about the way it all turned out, but agree amongst themselves to write everything down with the spiritual embellishments, and to seriously have a go at this whole forming a religion business.
Don't tell me this wouldn't be the most wonderfully tragic thing to read. It would mainly be someone's slow decline into delusion and madness, but there could be hints scattered throughout that maybe, just possibly, he actually is divine and everyone, including he in lucid moments, just thinks he's crazy.
I really want to read this. Someone with a knowledge of religion and mental illness must have had the idea before me and written it.

Tags:randomness; steal this idea
The Blue King is probably my favourite thing I have drawn on TegakiE ever. (So far.) Blue Kiiiiiing. Doodling random stuff on Tegaki is now my favourite hobby.
Grace and I were having a random nostalgia-fest about the Free Willy films, and she dared me to add the actor who played Jesse on MySpace (which I don't use anymore) and do this. HOW WILL HE REPLY? XD
Aparently, we are now making this a movement, or something.
And to round off this post, a meme:
Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given. Oh man, I am going to be so bad at doing this for anyone else.
I got these from
ladymargaret:archaeology
Everyone knows Archaeology is the best subject there is. And if they say otherwise, they're a liar. Sometimes I think that maybe I should just have done a degree in languages, then instead of writing a dissertation I'd just be having an easy time translating some text now, but then I read something interesting, or have a discussion about the interpretation of a site in a lecture, or make a dorky joke about the stratigraphy in my ice-cream to some other archaeologists, or remember the amazing feeling of being on a dig, and then I remember it actually is the best subject ever. I am ridiculously in love with my subject, you guys. I think of the years and years of learning and research I have ahead of me, and it makes me feel warm and happy inside.
Gurren Lagann
>_> I have a shameful secret: I still haven't actually seen the last 3 or so episodes of Gurren Lagann. I really need to just watch them all in one go someday soon. But yeah, GL is pretty damn win, I tell you. I was going to say that it was the beginning of the trend of me being the one who finds all the best anime to watch, even though I am the less prolific watcher in this household, but I can't actually remember who started downloading it first. I know I was intending to watch it, anyway. And it started me off watching stuff by myself, and finding awesome series to watch that match my tastes, and not wangsting about mostly watching stuff Tim showed me all the time and thus being a copying loser. (Yes, I worry about this sort of stuff. Because I'm ridiculous. And watching anime that matches my tastes will stop me feeling conflicted about liking anime, WHO KNEW. Now I just need to go through the same process with games and get over my idiotic need to be good at everything - even FPS games - and then I will be wholly content.)
Also, I should be getting this in the mail sometime soon. I am very excited by this. :D Hee.
staying up late
Ha. Yeah. My sleeping schedule doesn't really exist right now. Currently I'm managing to go to bed around 2am, though, and getting up roughly on time. I want the times where I woke up naturally at 8am back, but I'm not entirely sure how to engineer those circumstances. My sleep seems to go through a sort of cycle in and out of normal human hours for this time zone. I see a few all-nighters in my immediate future, because that just happens when I'm finishing essays.
dandyism
Aaah, this one makes me sad. I haven't done the dandy thing in SO LONG. I've gained a bit of weight again, I think, and my boobs are far too stupidly big for cross-dressing right now. One of my goals for the very near future is to experiment with binding, because I want to be a dandy again, dammit. It doesn't feel right being a girl all the time.
Japanese food
I like Japanese food. It is yummy. Even the raw fish. Raw fish is actually surprisingly good; not that I really trust any of the stuff I can buy around here enough to eat it raw. Now that I've done onigiri and sushi, though, I'm not sure where to go next with my adventures in small Asian foods. Maybe I should move on to larger Asian foods, or small foods from other cultures.
Steph and I have plans to get together when I get back home and have some sort of shopping at the Japan Centre and making small Asian foods party. It's going to be pretty awesome.
