Introduction~

As the above quote suggests, I am a crazed, fandom-obsessed fangirl with extremely awesome friends. To begin...I'm not special. I'm not unique. I'm actually pretty darned boring, and I like it that way. If you're still up for reading this after realizing that, then go right ahead. ;D I'm conservative by nature, interested in religion (specifically Christianity), spirituality, philosophy, etc...except that's really only part of my personality. It's probably the one you'll notice first though. XD
( Cut for craziness! )
FRIENDING POLICY!
I'm up for being friended anytime! However, expect raised eyebrows if you don't comment/PM why, especially if it seems like we don't have anything in common at all.
RANDOM COMMENTS!
If you feel like dropping me a line, just comment to this post :P
JUST A NOTE
My journal doesn't usually go over a G-PGish rating (I'm not a fan of bad language), but I would advise any really young kids not to poke around much further.

At least a lot of the people I do review actually e-mail back and straighten me out when I'm wrong, or ask for advice. There's one writer who, despite my admittedly scathing review, actually said she wanted me to continue to do so she can improve. Which is great, because she has potential. I don't think I'd be that gracious, even if I do love constructive criticism.
But yeah, kinda bummed. Because I really didn't mean anything by it, I was just trying to help. D: I only review the stories that look good, and there's a surprising amount of those. Problem is, most people are unaware of even the basic writing mechanics...which doesn't surprise me much after suffering through school. I only learned because I studied hard, and I still have a lot left to go before I can consider myself anything more than an amateur.
So that's my rant. As you can tell, my carpal tunnel is nearly gone! Yay!

Saw the Star Trek movie yesterday. Was worth missing dinner for. Tempted to look up the fandom, but I know I'd probably regret it if I did. Longest-running scifi television series after Doctor Who, and God knows I didn't even manage to get halfway through that within the span of a year before I gave up.
So yeah. I'm doing okay now, I guess. Better than I was by far.

A fitting end to a fitful year (LANGUAGE WARNING)
- Jun. 15th, 2009 at 9:17 PM
Now, this school sucks to begin with. It's not even my actual school, just another one I have to work through because my main one is 'special' so to speak. This incompent school almost gave me a diploma in French (which I barely passed and had dropped by my second year) and nearly graduated me as another girl with the same first name living out in Quebec. This continued until well after graduation, when I got frantic calls to come pick up my gown and join the ceremony. In fact, it took a full year to resolve, and I made damn sure it was resolved I can tell you that.
But that isn't good enough. Oh no, not at all. Pshaw, why let some stupid bookworm like me graduate with an 83%? Much better to try 68%! Oh wait, even better, how about 44%! I wish I could say I was joking, but no, I had a perfectly good mark gradually drop down into a failure over the course of the year without being notified. A failure that's going to drastically alter my mid to early 80s average. And now they're determined to use their own fucked-up record keeping against me, if you'll pardon my (apparently fluent?) French. And it's all thanks to my wonderful guidance teacher, who couldn't and still can't be arsed to do anything but screw me over.
So yeah. I'm damned, and there's no way I'm fixing this before next fall, if I manage it by then. As it is, I'm going to have to go pretty high up the hierachy to fix this cock-up. Thank God I hadn't planned on post-secondary for quite a while, because I wouldn't have been able to do that and my family might have taken a huge financial hit from the lost money invested into it. How these people ever passed high school themselves is the question I'd like an answer to, but barring that I'd like to have my life go right for once. Is it any wonder I'm in the worst physical and mental shape of my life with this crap going on all the time? I think not.

A Typical Day In The (Current) Life Of Arktos
- Jun. 9th, 2009 at 7:52 PM
Lie in bed staring at ceiling.
4:00 to 7:00 AM
Actually sleep.
7:00 to 8:40 AM
Get up, get dressed, study a bit more and then go off to exams.
Anywhere between 8:50 to 11:00 (I've finished at 9:50 mostly so far)
Do the exam.
Then to 12:00 PM
Walk home, sleep.
12:00 to 1:00 PM
Eat lunch.
1:00 to 4:00 PM
Sleep.
4:00 to 8:30 PM
Check email, study, have dinner and take baths all in that order.
8:30 to 10:30 PM
Study.
10:30 PM to 12:00 AM
See top task.
So yeah, that's been my week so far. Which is why I probably won't be updating much until Saturday.

*pinches bridge of nose and sighs* Well, at least there are only four more exams left to go.
Whoa...I must be in worse shape than I thought...
- Jun. 7th, 2009 at 4:21 PM
I should add that my sister NEVER buys me anything unless...the apocalypse is nigh or something.

It's over

In other news, since I was so burnt out this morning, I started writing up some new fanfics to ward off my writer's block. Most of them are Silent Hill, but I've got a few for Resident Evil, Fullmetal Alchemist, D.Gray-man, that crazy Reboot fic, among the thousands of plotbunnies that have been building up over the past...what, six months? I should really be getting back to BCOCC and my other unfinished stories, but I know just by looking at them they'll need some major rewrites and streamlining like whoa and I just don't have the energy yet to tackle them.
Also, finally posted at AP again. God, I've been such as ass with tags there...hopefully there's still time to change.

Also, today or tomorrow is apparently National Donut Day. According to what I read, some places are giving out free donuts so...if you like donuts, look into that. ;D

energetic
Jeez!

Speaking of which, as of tomorrow I will probably be dead from missing the most CRUCIAL deadline of the semester. If someone could arrange funeral preparations for me, I'd be very grateful.

Umm...
I dunno.
I kinda don't remember a lot of it. But...I've been getting plot bunnies like crazy, so if this weekend doesn't kill me (Right, forgot! No grumbling! Bad Arktos, bad!) then I might has something funny posted up. Maybe. Don't worry, I'll post a bad joke warning for those with weak hearts or something. XD
Oh, and did I ever mention I had Darth Vader as a babysitter once? Good times. Too bad this isn't my cake. He made a mean Angel's Food one, by the way.

Anyways, nothing interesting to report. Just life as usual, a hard slog with lots of homework. But I like to think I'm getting through it slowly...
Well
- May. 26th, 2009 at 10:31 PM
Also, is it just me or would a massive crossover between Reboot and any old video game work like a charm? I mean, really. It's surprising no one's done it before...I mean, a Digimon crossover? And Yu-Gi-Oh? C'mon, there must be more!
