"There's Something Wrong With The Body Politic"

IJ is officially on notice. EVERY TIME I tried to do anything yesterday, it was down. It would come up for a minute, and then be down again. And I'd think it was just me, but downforeveryone said it wasn't, so it was just full of fail. Damnit.

Despite that, I did manage to upload icons for Datura, Blight, Drift, and Lalla, and fix up their journals/bios etc. and get them crossposted so that my inner sense of organization does not weep. Still must keyword, but progress. It has been made. Also after having stared at all their faces a lot while trying to upload icons multiple times because of IJ's refusal to work, I feel like I can safely say Gillian Jacobs makes the most adorable faces ever.

And I'm mostly caught up on The Odds and Reaped, too, and my googledocs that were waiting on me. Here is my list to do:( Cut for list nonsense. )

If anyone at gamemaker or the_reaped want to thread anything I missed, I'm all for it, just poke me!

I am taking a Tribute break until after the next Odds rounds, but for my own reference, some Tribute concepts I would like to play.

I dropped my lone HP game today. I really love some of the players, and wanted to live there - hence my excitedly grabbing Percy, because I thought finally getting to play him would help me get back into it. But really the fallout from Changed just burnt me right out on HP, and it wasn't working. So I gave up the ghost and let it go. I am sad, but I really do think I need a long break from HP to recover. But I will miss it, and my characters. And regret not getting to play alastorgumboil's gold digging boytoy, along with not getting to really give Percy a shot. I will miss you all!

For those at gamemaker, I apologize if I've been slow/not with it. We had a horsey death in the family (as in actual horse), and some health issues, and it knocked me for a loop. But I should be back on track, so nudge me if I missed anything, or didn't reply to something I should have.

I also did a flist clean up/purge to remove some dead journals and things like that here, and update filters so I can not pester HP people with HG stuff in the future, and vice versa if I get back into HP land later on. So if I accidentally removed someone I shouldn't let me know.

And since I missed getting to say so in real time, here is a list of things that make me happy in the last few days, at The Odds: ( List! )

This is the first time since I STARTED journal RP that I have not had an HP game or PSL, I think, except for the period of time when I wasn't RPing at all for health reasons. It is a strange feeling!

((Reposting from my OOC, since most of my Hunger Games fanatic people are on IJ.))

I have finally seen the Hunger Games. I have feeeelings. ( Cut for spoilers. )

We were going to sneak into a last showing of John Carter afterward, but they apparently decided to not show it. So we snuck into Wrath of the Titans instead. Let me tell you, if you are given a choice between seeing this movie for free, or bashing your head against a wall, CHOOSE OPTION B. It will probably give you less of a headache, and will be more interesting. Bill Nighy is about the only entertaining part of it, and it's because he's Bill Nighy.

I really, really wish they would stop trying to convince me the following dudes should be in movie after movie after movie. I reserve the right to add to this list whenever someone annoys the crap out of me:

Sam Worthington (Stubbly McSameface)
Shia LeBeouf (Confused Expression #322)
Michael Cera (Only acceptable in Arrested Development.)
Alex Pettyfer (More abs then acting)
Ryan Reynolds (Professional Manboy.)
Channing Tatum (Gets a slight pass because he likes to tell a story about having boiling water dumped on his penis)
Jonah Hill (Never funny.)

Anyway, Wrath of the Titans. If you watched Clash of the Titans and thought "man, what this movie needs is less plot, curlier hair, and an identical ending scene only with more fire", then this is probably the sequel for you.

I have a raaaaging headache and so much RP stuff I need to do, damnit. Also Remix stuff.

I cannot go see Hunger Games until next week, due to lack of monies. So I am silently judging everyone who gets to go see, just so you know. GOD you all, rushing to the theater, don't you know you're supposed to wait until I can go?

I am basically the worst person in the world, because I was like BRAN'S BROTHER/SISTER SHOULD BE REAPED NEXT ROUND. Or wait like, another two rounds and have it be one half of the ickle twins. Because SAD.

The romance novel meme over at gamemaker gave me a character concept that I have no room there for, but I totally want to do sometime. ( Cut for concept babble. )

I am also amused that both of my original hold slots that I lost ended up opening up again. But I'm totally happy with my 1 slot. 1 FTW! (I keep eying that second stylist and prep team spots on 4, but I'm behaving.)
