A.r.'s journal!

androidraptor@aol.com — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 04:02:08 GMT

I rewatched 08th with my psych major best friend recently. It's official, Ghinius makes me bawwww more than ever, and holy crap fic ideas FTW. Because characters with issues who get bashed into the ground by fanbois need at least a few fics that'll portray them as something other than a stock ebeel nasty thing to be killed without thought. They're more interesting than the heroes anyway :V

BREAKING NEWS.

androidraptor@aol.com — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 00:36:24 GMT

I signed up for NaNoWriMo guys. I don't know whether to feel awesome or very, very afraid. Either way, expect Ghinius to get some ficness for the first time in I don't even know. Whether it will be decent is pending, but at least the Ginias S. tag on ff.net will finally get some lovin's.

androidraptor@aol.com — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 22:48:08 GMT

THIS POKAYMENS MEME SHITE, CLICK FOR WIN.

Also, come Hell or Highwater I'm cosplaying this at AWA '10. Just so you are aware.

A.r.'s AWA 15 summary, the abridged version.

androidraptor@aol.com — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 23:48:49 GMT

So yeah, AWA 15 was like... a week ago. And I still haven't posted about how fuckwin it was, wat. Then again my laptop is borked right now and God decided to give us all that rain he's owed us for years all at once, so I've not been in the position to do a proper entry. Either way, here be some teaser pic nonsense:

A.r. is wearing make-up wut. Also, LOOK AT MY FAT FACE GODDAMN IT. Though there was *another* Aina running around, so this was also a con of epic brick-shitting.

And for something completely different...
I JOINED THE POKE-MOB BITCHES >:D

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

tl;dr AWA 15 summary coming soon (hopefully)!

THIS JUST IN.

androidraptor@aol.com — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 22:55:10 GMT

Tom CruiseXMiyuki Hatoyama is now my OTP. Anyone who says otherwise is an idiot who doesn't understand their epic amazing tru wub.

The Gundam Etc Kink Meme!

androidraptor@aol.com — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 19:30:59 GMT

I'm finally getting around to doing something I said I'd do months ago... go Team A.r.! Anyway, I'm sure some of you have seen these fandom kink memes going around LJ as of late. I know I have, though as predicted when I checked the kink meme master list the only Gundam ones were for SEED/Destiny, Wing, and 00. This did not surprise me but never less made me a sad puppy. So I am now righting this wrong and giving everything else the ~~abuse~~love it deserves!

What you do

1. Post ANONYMOUSLY requesting fic/art/other fancrap involving a character or pairing and a kink. Here is a master list of kinks and stuff if you need some ideas. It need not be NSFW, though the idea of this is based on delicious pr0nz. Example: CharXHaman; Zero-G sex cockpit of the Quebley.
2. ANONYMOUSLY fill any and all requests you think you're capable of. It doesn't have to be perfect, hell I might use this thing for writing practice, though it's a good idea to try your best. Doesn't have to be long, most kink meme replies I've seen are just short drabble fics. And you may also fill a request that's already been taken care if you have a different idea. I just don't want this to end up with a bunch of requests and no delivering :<
3. ????
4. PROFIT!

The rules

1. The main rule I have is no requests for Wing, SEED/SEED Destiny, or 00 unless it's a crossover with something allowed. They already have kink memes kthx. So we're clear, these are the series that are allowed:

All UC series (MSG, 08th MS Team, 0083, Zeta, F91, IGLOO, etc)
G Gundam
Gundam X
Turn-A
Any non-animated side stories for the above series/timelines (Blue Destiny, MSV, Crossbone, etc)

If you try to be a dillhole and post something like "HOT 1X2 IN WHATEVER PLACE 08TH MS TEAM IS LOL LOOPHOLES!1!!11", chances are I'll just delete your post or give you something completely different (like Heero shitting dick nipples or something). However if you request group sex involving Heero, Duo, Kiki, and the entire 08th Team, I'll let you along your merry way. I might not care for it, but hey, the main point is that at least one character from an allowed series is in on the action.
2. No dramu. This means trolling, flaming, bashing, etc. Respect others tastes and all that other hippie jazz.
3. As long as the first two are okay, it's all good. Het, yaoi, yuri, epic orgies, whatever floats your boat. Mechs are also fine, so feel free to request hot RafflesiaXNobel Gundam tentacle raep or whatever else you Ryuseis fancy. I might not be the one to fill it if you request a giant futanari Puru orgy sexing up Nina Purpleton and General Revil, but I won't have a problem if you do. 4chan has desensitized me so...
4. Crossovers with non-Gundam series are fine too. ~~So I can have all the hot Jirarudan on Ghinius action my heart desires!~~

Also, please pimp this shit like the Fist of the North Star! I can tell it's going to need all the traffic it can get :|

And now, in anticipation of your insight into the future...

I AM SORRY BUT I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER HOW AWESOME THAT CONCERT WASSZJDBSJKLMCNXLSZ!1!!1!

androidraptor@aol.com — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 11:00:41 GMT

So I saw Depeche Mode at Lakewood last night.

That is all right now.

MEME TIEMS

androidraptor@aol.com — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 19:25:10 GMT

Firstly: If you've been tagged, you must write your answers in your own LJ and replace any question that you dislike with a new, original question.
Secondly: Tag ~~eight people~~WHOEVER I WILL TO. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you.

Who sleeps in bed next to you?
Blanket, sometimes ~~Zeth's~~my cat Thomas. And whatever's on the floor, since I've been sleeping on Z's floor for months because I'm sick of my family's BS.

Have you ever done anything extreme?
Is disowning my ~~Mom~~egg donor, violently threatening my sister because she's an obnoxious cunt, kicking and cursing out teachers back in the day, stealing junk food from the local high school back in the day, getting sent to 4 different psych wards, putting god knows how many holes in the drywall, and more or less feeling like a worthless lump of flesh until three or so weeks ago extreme enough for you?

Who are your favorite bands?
Depeche Mode, NIN, Soft Cell, Nirvana (overrated or not, I have a soft spot for them due to what state I yonder from), U2, Talking Heads, The Clash, The Beatles (Sergent Pepper and onward), The Cure, and whatever random techno/dance shit tickles my fancy. Need to listen to most of those more, though that's nothing too hard since all I have to do for some is hijack CDs from my dad.

What are your current fandoms/addiction/obsession?
UNVERSAL CENTURY GANDAMS MANNNNNN! Though Pokemon is also really eating my brain now as well. DAMN YOU JIRI.

What's your fashion style?
T-shirt + jeans/shorts + sandles/coverse ugly butch slob I guess.

Who is your celebrity crush?
Ghinius Sakhalin and JiriLawrenceLampASS OH GOD DO WANT I CAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!!11111!1! Oh, you want someone who exists IN REEL LIFES? Then Trent Reznor I guess. Though the delusional cartoon mens with fancy hair are still top tier on my list of fangirl slobberings.

Who are your role models?
IDKMBFFZETH, ryoko in the EPIC AWESOME BADASSERY N' CAWSPLAY category, tepintzin and blackjackrocket in the faynfic writin' category, god knows how many in the SCIENCE category, and other people I can't think of off the top of my head because i r spechul :|

What are you listening to right now?
The air conditioner, though maybe something from one of my playlists or the host from Iron Chef singing about how lovely kleptomania can be in a bit.

What food could you eat every day for weeks and not get sick of?
CHEESE OF MOST VARIETIES. Also shellfish.

What websites do you always visit when you go online?
Inbox, Junkyspot's forum for the creepy dolls they sell, dA, various Japanese Gundam fansites (because I always require new Ghinius stuffs), and lately a certain comm and shrine to A HORRIBLE POKEMON COLLECTOR and Bulbagarden forums.

What was the last thing you bought today?
Nothing. Though I will hopefully be buying a T-REX OF AWESOME within the next few weeks.

What was the sexiest thing you've seen today?
Some of Pokesho's pervy fanart involving Claire and other Pokemon womens who aren't jailbait. Also a fanart on dA of Morty and ~~Wifebeater~~Eusine dancing, though Eusine's expression was mostly just hilarious and made the thing more funny than anything else. Though I haven't checked me Japanese Gundam pron sites yet, and I might also re-read some of the fanfics about Jiri getting smexed up that never fail to dazzle me.

Does the weather affect your mood?
Not being able to go out in daylight because GA summers = DEATH pisses me off, and snow makes me shoot rainbows and kittens from my eyes out of joy, but other than that I don't think so.

What is your zodiac sign?
Leo/Snake

Do you want to learn another language?
Russian. Because Ghinius, Aina, and Yuri control me too much and I need to write mah' faynfic. Plus Russian accents make me melt :V

5 things you can't live without.
001: Ghinius/Jiri
002: Porn and other fancrap
003: THE INTERNET
004: my friends
005: being able to make creative shit and my creepy dolls

Anything you want to say to someone?
Dear Nintendo,

BRING BACK JIRI FOR A CAMEO IN MOVIE 13. Also stop focusing so damn much on Ash and co. and JJ+M Rocket stuff. Needs moar Domino, Basho+Buson, Gio being a dick, and delicious Pokemob. And Eusine is only right when he's batshit insane. And Cyrus is creepy as fuck, though that's a good thing.

<3 Ar

PS: AIRSHIPPINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!111!!

If you belonged to a different culture, which one would it be?
Mid-late 80's - early 90's Tacoma, WA. And actually old enough to remember it.

What are you looking forward to?
AWA and starting to have a good life for once!

Say something to the person who tagged you:
shiimapan we must meet again at AWA and have AWESOME.

And now I'm going to tag:

Anyone who wants to do eet lol I be lazyyyy...

...

androidraptor@aol.com — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 05:19:57 GMT

I just finished watching the last couple episodes of Utena...

Brb, cleaning up the brick house I just shat. Maybe also opening a few coffins...

Of Jesus Wigs and villains even shittier and more insignificant than Ghinius...

androidraptor@aol.com — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 23:46:30 GMT

Hurf durf, because my last entry was made of PMS and RAGE, I'm posting an entry made of... slightly less PMS and RAGE. And also because I haven't given a real update on wtf I've been doing in months, which I probably should for ya'll homies going to AWA. Not to mention I've taken a liking to an animu villain (well, moreso just antagonist) that makes Ghinius look like a characterization masterwork. Unless you start reading fanficshuuuuun, which in that case makes things more awesome than they have the right to be. Yeah, I really, really am a hopeless cause when it comes to not being a stupid fangirl :|

Anyway, AWA. In case you haven't already heard I am NOT doing Artist's Alley this year. Shit happened, it suucked, but I should be doing it again next year. However I will be doing a lot more running around like a crazed, ADHD 10-year-old in a room full of Pixie Sticks. Which may or may not be a good thing, depending on your point of view. But free time due to not having to fold like the Fist or the North Star = OMG AR IS GOING TO COSPLAY WUT. Yep, if all goes well I'll be alternating between a male Team Rocket grunt (based on one of my ~~Gary-Stues~~OCs), and civilian black dress!Aina Sakhalin (which I actually wore to Momocon already).

Since I was a lazy twat at Momo and didn't get any pics of my Aina there, and because I know one of you wants to see the wig, I ran back home to take some pics while ~~Medusa~~my sister was out for the first time in a week. Be warned, my face is hideous and greasy as always and this many pics of it may very well cause your body and computing epuipments to spontaniously combust.

Get your barf bags out...

OH JESUS ITS AR'S MUG.

OH JESUS ITS AR'S MUG LOOKING LIKE A MYSPACE ATTENTION WHORE.

OH JESUS ITS AR'S MUG LOOKING LIKE A MYSPACE ATTENTION WHORE TRYING TO BE PRETENTIOUS.

OH JESUS ITS AR'S MUG LOOKING DISTURBINGLY NOT GROSS AS HELL WHAT THE CHRIST.

Lookin' kinnda' stoned there, derp.

WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN

This is my face after I saw Ar's nasty ass trying to cosplay Aina.

One last shot to murder your eyes with.

Admittedly when I'm actually running around a con I do the unthinkable and *GASP* put on some makeup and wear clothes that don't come from the boy's department (OH JESUS IT'S A SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE THE END IS NEAR SAVE YOURSELVES). Because hell, if my sister can sneak into my room and steal my money to buy cigarretes, I can sneak into her room and steal her fondation and lip color to not make people want to stab their eyes out at an animu con. Also that wig started off as a light-blonde Cosworx ELORA Lexy, which is the reason I swear it's the Holy Saviour of cosplay wigs. I can't say for certain, but everything I've heard says Elora wigs are a pain in the ass to dye and kind of suck ass in general, yet this thing took the dye like a fukkin MAGNET and feels reasonable soft IMHO. At least when compared to... I dunno, the way my sister's hair probably feels since she seems to have to change her hair color and style at least 2 times a month in order to live. Which probably doesn't prove much, actually, since my sister's hair probably has the consistency and feel of steel wool. Durdadurr...!

No pics of Rocket Grunt cosplay yet, since I haven't started to actually do shit. Shouldn't take be too much work though, black pants + grey gloves/boots (depending on if I decide to go with anime, R/B/Y, or FireRed/LeafGreen Rocket grunt stylings) + belt (again, type depending on what I try/am able to copy) + black long-sleeved turtle-necked shirt w/giant red R ironed on + black cap (optional) + baby-killing Pokeballs of DEATH from the first movie BK toy promotion (not a must have, as there are other Pokeballs out there, though the clips on those ones could be mighty convieniant) + wig + flattening my boobs with moar sports bras = fuck yes you are the best cheap thrown-together cosplay ever.

Though I might not be able to scrounge for a good wig in time and might commit the unthinkable sin of DUN DUN DUN buying a cheap-ass thing from Party City. Before you all throw me in the gallows, I think I *might* be able to make it look not completely like the spawn of Satan, since my ~~Stu~~OC has a short, boyish, and (for Pokemon especially)tame hairstyle. And if I buy one that's supposed to be long, cut off the excess as soon as I take it out of the package, make the excess into wefts before they turn into a giant mat-ball of death, put in said wefts to fill in the thin spots (which there will be, because it's cheap-ass abomination of Capitalism), and layer and style like I have never layered and styled before, I might be able to make something to at least do the job until I'm able to get something better. Plus I've already made said ~~Stu~~OC in creepy-doll form, so I have an idea as to what I need to do to achieve the style. And well, it might be interesting just to see if such a thing *can * be done and look halfway decent.

As for the other major thing going on in my brain right now, I figured today would be the appropriate day to whore it off since it's the 9th anniversary of the US theatrical release of the only thing this fucker has ever been in (other than the "cameo" in the credits of the 5th movie, and the CoroCoro manga adaptation that we don't talk about because that's NotJiri and we don't talk about NotJiri) . FANGIRLING AHEAD:

Jesus Christ Jiri fill the whole screen with your smug ass why don't you? Anyway, this is that guy I was mentioning to tepintzin as being like Ghinius without the homocial insanity and with even less screen time. And for some reason after stumbling across some fanfiction about him and Giovanni (of gym leader and mob boss fame) dicking around (WHOO AIRSHIPPING), and then looking up more fanfiction in the same vein, and finally making the mistake of unleashing him in a personal RP with my best friend, Ghinius is now forced to finally share a bit of space in my brain with another strange-ass character obsession. Needless to say, he isn't amused.

In case you all are wondering just who the fuck this guy is (which I'm sure is most everyone not from warewacollector ), he's the antagonist from the second Pokemon movie; Revolation Lugia AKA Pokemon the Movie 2000: the Power of One (because in AMERICA, we make sure EVERYTHING incorperates a cheesy moral lesson). He makes the plot happen because he is a spoiled rich guy with a pechant for collecting pretty, historic shinies and is dumb as a board in the common sense department (he spends all his time on an areodynamically-impossible airship from the looks of it). And when he decides 4 legendary bird Pokeymans (Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos, and Lugia) would be a great addition to his collection, it throws the climate of the entire world into chaos. Which he remains oblivious to, because he keeps trying to catch the birds even though tsunamis are destroying Viridian City and shit (oh what the Christ Jiri you are the bringer of Armageddon yet you have no fukkin' clue because you don't ever get out of your airship hurf durf). His name is never said in the movie itself, in the Japanese suplimental material he's called "Jirarudan" (where the fan petname "Jiri" comes from), and in some of the English shit he's called "Lawrence III" (though us fantards prefer the former for some reason).

Delicious curly-ques must raep.

And because of his oblivious nature, for some reason he ends up being FUCKING ADORABLE. Not to mention that some of the fanfics I've read about him are some of the best shit I've read since I've bothered to read tepintzin 's stuff like I need to. Srsly, Obsession by blackjackrocket is one of the best fanmade antagonist backstories I have ever laid my eyes upon. For it does not contain the dreaded woob, nor the terrifying Draco in Leather Pants, at least not IMHO. You wouldn't think the words Pokemon, fanfiction, and good could ever be in the same sentence without a "not" somewhere in the mix, but they can. Sometimes you really can divide by zero.

Anyway, I hope you all's modems aren't completely slaughtered from all the image dumpage. I couldn't control myself :|

WARNING: the following contains large amounts of UC FANGIRL RAAAAAAAGE!

androidraptor@aol.com — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 23:03:18 GMT

So I've been hopping on cos.com and other forums and seeing some posts lately that make me want to slap a bitch. Here are exerts from two I found just today, and my response.

"There isn't enough Gundam Wing love at the anime cons anymore D:"

"Sure it's an old anime so not alot of people recognize us"

Bullshit. Bull. Fucking. Shit.

Yes, the days of seeing 20+ Wing cosplayers at a single con are over. Fandoms come and go, so shit like that happens. Cry moar.

However I don't believe for a SECOND that "not alot of people" recognize you when you're running around as Duo or Heero or whatever other member of the Wing boyband you decide to don. Even at cons where you're the only Wing cosplayer, you are still guarenteed to have 90% of the other antendees able to recognize you instantly. Hell, I have a friend who cosplayed manga-outfit RANMA who was mistaken for a Duo multiple times.

Either all the attendees at the cons you're going to were born after 1997 (which would make them about 12 at the oldest) and/or have been literally living under a rock for the last 20 years and have only stepped out within the last month, or you're yet another dumbass Wing fangirl bawwwing about their fandom no longer being the bloated, malignant tumor it once was. And I'm fairly certain the latter is much more likely to be the case.

You think you have it bad cosplaying a Wing character? Try running around as Aina Sakhalin or Garma Zabi or Allenby Beardsly or the Frost Brothers or anyone else from a Gundam series that's NOT Wing, SEED, or 00. You'll be damn lucky if even 15 people recognize you, and even then many usually have to be reminded as to who EXACTLY you are. And the characters I listed are all pretty distinct, major cast members in their respected series.

Don't get me started on other aspects of the fandom either. I could go into a profanity-laced rant for days on yaoi ALONE.

I've tried to keep this shit to myself as much as I can, but it's time I blow off some steam. Honestly, in the eyes of other Gundam fans, types like you look like spoiled brats whining about how they can't get everything their heart's desire served up on a silver platter anymore. BOO-HOO.

So your fandom is dying down? Tough shit, that's life. Either grow up an move on, or kindly shut the fuck up. I'm tired of this motherfucking bawwwing on these motherfucking boards.

And then I stole a meme...

androidraptor@aol.com — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 20:34:42 GMT

Stolen from Ryoko/Ambrosia/Krys!

THE OTP MEME
♦ Pick up to fifteen OTPs.
♦ Describe them in ~~fifteen words or less~~ rambling detail.
♦ Have your friends guess the OTP.

1. Like Hitler and Eva Braun, only with more class and romance.
2. A cute boy next door meets girl next door thing, except ending in tragedy.
3. Opposites attract. Except one offs the other in the end :|
4. The prince who wanted only to give a bride a life of her own.
5. A match made in hotblood (and the FC timeline).
6. A match made in hotblood with stupid sexy nii-san instead.
7. A romance between the oceans and the sky. Only with more lesbianism.
8. A woman of might and the Ace in red who loves her.
9. "We all have needs, James..."
10. The Collector who slept with a Mob Boss, despite the fact that it made no sense whatsoever.
11. The Angel who taught the Child what to live for (I wish...)
12. "We all have needs, Rear Admiral..." (>=D !)

Just letting everyone know I'm still here!

androidraptor@aol.com — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 08:18:21 GMT

Jeez, I do need to post more though. I've been a bit preoccupied lately trying to get out of a funk of uncreativity and winter blahs, as well as trying to get ready for Momocon. If anyone is going and wants to meetup, lemme know!

I've also started folding origami commissions for an advertising campaign for a local bank. So if any of you in the Metro area see that billboard with the dollar Koi fish that's on Peachtree Industrial near the car dealership... yeah, I folded that. I'm also shooting for Artist's Alley at AWA again this year, so if I get the table I'll be selling my stuff there as well. And yes, I will make sure to fold more Mukips.

So yeah, I'll try to be more active than I have been.

Just figured I'd share this nonsense...

androidraptor@aol.com — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:12:11 GMT

Dunno what to think about this...

androidraptor@aol.com — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 03:26:50 GMT

http://talkaboutcuringautism.org

Now, I'm all for advocating for better therapy and education for autistics. This site seems to have a lot of that, but some of the stuff does leave a very bad taste in my mouth (not to mention is vaguely disturbing). Even though this group is trying to voice for better vocational therapy and such, one look at their name suggests that their real intent is to, well, cure autism. Which may seem like a good thing at first glace, but when really though about is quite sickening.

I can understand the pain many families feel when they first find out a child has severe autism, but having known many such families many of them do grow to accept the child, autism or not. The people on this site seem to try and come off as caring for their loved ones, but I'm still unnerved. If you love your child for what they are, why do you want them to be rid of the way their brain is wired? A part of me thinks that no matter what image they try to present, they still just boil down to a group of parents having a pity party.

And what about higher functioning autistics? This is the part that really sickens me. If a cure for autism is found, it would probably cure all forms of autism. After all, the site says nothing about wanting a cure for only low functioning autistics (though even that has some very sinister implications). If there were no autistics whatsoever, we wouldn't have people like Temple Grandin, Einstein, Bill Gates, even (possibly) Thomas Jefferson. All these people have either been formally diagnosed, or there is strong suspicion that they were/are autistic. Point is, autistics see the world differently, and sometimes that is a huge advantage (such as the case of Temple Grandin). Without that, we wouldn't have many of our greatest minds.

All in all, they seem like they're fighting a noble cause, but in reality just wanting something vaguely similar to the Third Reich: elimination of those who are different.

Rest in Peace, Poppy...

androidraptor@aol.com — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 19:20:29 GMT

I woke up around 11:30 this morning to find the bird cage still covered up. I didn't think anything of it as I uncovered it until I saw that Poppy was on the bottom of the cage kind of slumped over. I didn't loose it, but I pretty hurriedly picked him up and took him to my room. I also made some sugar water to try and get something in him and tried to give it to him. Afterwards I fixed up the cat carrier (what I use when he gets sick), put him in it, and tried to leave him alone for a bit.

I check on him periodically over the next two or so hours, and he didn't seem to be doing well. About 30 minutes ago I tried to give him some of the water. He was barely there. I stopped trying to give water after not very long and just held him. My dad was there to, and I could tell he was sad. Poppy pretty much died in my hands over the next few minutes.

Now we have him in a basket on the table. Rigor mortise is starting to take effect, and we plan to bury him soon. I managed to bend the band off his foot with some needle nose pliers. I know we won't live here forever and I want at least something with his energy in it to have with me when I need it.

All I can say is that I feel very sad, though also very empty. Maybe even a bit in disbelief. Though I can also say that he was around much longer than any of us expected. We got him from a neglectful owner (one of my Mom's friends) when I was six or seven, and at that time he was 15 or 16. It will be just... very strange not having him. I want to try and adopt another cockatiel in the next few months, but I know nothing will replace Poppy.

Goodbye, old friend...

Oh Ghinius. You and your camwhoring ways.

androidraptor@aol.com — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 01:50:11 GMT

As some of you may know, I've had an Obitsu doll that has been customized to look like Mah Man for a while now (since July-ish). And I feel like some picspam. So I shall crapflood with pics of Dolly Ghinius now for lack of anything else to do.

I put him in the tree and left him there for half an hour. I don't really know why.

Chillin' in the first sock-sweater I made him.

Taken on Christmas day. "My preeeecious,"

With Hamlet, wearing the second sock-sweater I made him.

On a playground rock-thing at the new park near here.

Waiting for the rain to stop at said park.

And lastly, near the tree in sock-sweater 2. Taken this evening.

Good night sweet prince, And the flights of angels sing thee to thy rest

androidraptor@aol.com — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 02:14:10 GMT

Well, it's that day again. Today in Universal Century 0079, the Earth Federation launched its siege against the Zeon Apsaras development base. And that means Ghinius Sakhalin died today. Rest in fictional peace, Ghinius.

Fun with Gundam and Chinese astrology!

androidraptor@aol.com — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 03:14:17 GMT

Been playing around for the last few minutes with calculating the Chinese zodiac signs of (what else?) Universal Century Gundam characters. You can do it too (if you care)! Go to http://www.dyarstraights.com/msgundam/timeline.html and find the year the character you want was born in. Then add that UC year to the year 2080 (year before the UC began according to the guy who made the timeline, thus it converts UC years into AD years) and enter it on this site http://www.horoscope.com/chinesezodiac.html . Press the button and viola! You get the sign of any UC character you want! Some of my results:

Ghinius: Earth Dragon (I swear, some of the stuff was frighteningly accurate)

Ghiren: Metal Monkey (a bit odd, but some stuff is pretty accurate. apparently Ghinius is also a good match for him >:])

Garma, Ayna, and Char: Water Pig (accurate for Garma and especially Ayna, but not so much Char)

Kishira, M'qube, possibly Shiro: Earth Goat (kinda' hit and miss for all of them)

Dozle: Wood Rabbit (once you stop laughing, some is pretty accurate from what I've seen)

Have fun!

I got an AA table at AWA!

androidraptor@aol.com — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 15:53:40 GMT

Well, I'm doing the Artist's Alley again at AWA this year! Hopefully I'll have a lot more goodies than last year (I HAVE ORIGAMI POKEMON. YOU WILL BUY THEM. LOL), and I might even get a few doll commissions. Speaking dolls, I also managed to make a doll tutorial for a basic male origami doll.

It's official! I've been watching waaay too much Cold Case Files!

Had a weird dream last night. It began with Ghinius and Ayna being held as POW's by random feddies, then being OMGZ murdered by them and buried in a dirt field next to the Big Tray from episode 11 (the one Lyers was on). Now here's where it really takes off. A couple of months before the Gryps War begins, some different Feddies (or should they be Titans? Oh well, it was a dream so it doesn't matter) were digging and messing around in the field (still dirt) when they find bones. Next part is straight outta' CSI: a woman who looked oddly like Alice Miller came in and was the forensic anthropologist. She was looking at the bones as was saying stuff like "it looks like a white male and female. Male appears to be between 25-30 years old, female might be younger". And then I remember her looking at the bones some more, and then came the weirdest part: Ghinius and Ayna's souls were watching from Heaven or where ever they went, in something similar to the book The Lovely Bones. And that's all I really remember. I guess I've been watching too much "Cold Case Files" and Gundam.

War is on!

In case some of you haven't heard, an extremist anti-pedophilia group has been going around, forcing lj to delete groups, users, etc, with anything even remotely related to pedophilia in their interests (such as loli or shota). Now, I don't even like shota or loli, but they've deleted some fandom communities where that's not even a major focus (like a Harry Potter community and communites for discussion of the book Lolita)! And to top it off, the person who heads the group is a right wing, pro-Bush, xenophobic, homophobic whack job who wants to do away with anything she doesn't agree with. Who knows what could be next?

On roach-eating, Rattlesnake Roundups, and Animal Rights...

androidraptor@aol.com — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 03:33:26 GMT

Rant time! In this entry, I take some quotes from the internet about one of the things above and add my perspective. Warning: language, ranting, and an angry Animal Rights activist.

The following quotes are about the stupid promotional stunt the "geniuses" at Six Flags thought up for last year's Fright Fest. The stunt was to eat a live hisser (hissing cockroach) to get ahead in 4 rides. Whoop de fricken dee! 4 rides! And all for killing a defenseless animal!

"Lets see Ms. Nutt deal with a whole house full of them. They're diry nasty disgusting bugs and deserve to die!"

-Some moron at FreeRepublic

And why exactly do they deserve to die? Just because they happen to annoy us sometimes? Honestly, when has a cockroach started a war? When has a cockroach murdered millions of innocent people? When has a cockroached nuked a country? Only one species has done any of these things, and that's our own. If there's any species we need to hate, it's Homo Sapiens. Hate, and work on ways to become a better species.

"It's something that's supposed to be scary, it's icky, it's gross, it's Halloween fun and it's just one small part of the haunted houses and thrilling rides going on."

-One of the idiots doing the promotion

Oh yeah, have fun this Halloween killing little animals! Animals that, mind you, have never done anything to hurt anyone! Honestly, if it were swallowing live Goldfish, would the reaction be the same? I doubt it.

"Hello Peta? Um - cockroaches aren't animals - they're bugs."

-Someone on a blog

Nope, I think you're wrong on this one Mrs. IKNOWANIMALS. Let's see, they don't photosynthesize, so they can't be plants or algae. They're not one-celled, so they can't be protozoans or bacteria. They don't have cell walls, so they can't be fungi. Nope, they're Kingdom Animalia, just like all the other animals. I think this person needs to gb2/7th grade/ where they might actually learn something about basic classification.

Enough about the roaches, let's move on to bigger things. Rattlesnake Roundups. Disgusting events, no? Honestly, how stupid do you have to be to think that you're doing to world a favor by causing the genocide of an important predator and prey species? Pretty damn stupid if you ask me. Then again, these are the people that put our lovely President in office.

"Only in Texas would rounding up 120 tons of western diamondback rattlesnakes sound fun."

-Some clueless newspaper

And only in Texas do men with I.Q.s comparable to rocks become President.

"It is believed that without the annual hunt that the local rattlesnake population would return to pre-hunt population levels within a few years."

-One roundup in Georgia's official site

And this is bad HOW? Considering that the Eastern Diamondback is THREATENED in all of its range? And those mice aren't breeding any slower. All I have to say is Enjoy your Bubonic Plague, morons. Not to mention Hantavirus.

"Who might go to the Rattlesnake Roundup in Sweetwater, Texas?"

-Some site. Forgot which one

Let's see, an bunch of wife-beating, drunk rednecks, perhaps? Rednecks that the concept of suffering (other than in their own pitful lives) is completely lost to? Sounds right to me.

"Some find the rattlesnake roundup a little controversial, but others say there are many positives that may be beneficial."

-One tv station that obviously lacks some brain cells

Run by me the positives of murdering a bunch of innocent wild animals again? Again, enjoy your bubonic plague.

I could go on (there are so many people saying so many stupid things. They shouldn't be allowed to use the internet) but it's getting late here and I'm already thoroughly disgusted with the human race. Goodnight all.

Goodnight, sweet prince.

Well, today Sid Vicious (one of the roaches) finally passed on into cockroach heaven. Came home from school and he was already gone. I buried him out front near a bush. God rest his roachy soul...

At first I was pissed when I saw this, then I just started laughing.
