Well, actually, it's just an excuse to use the PSYCHOANGRY!Azula icon, because I'm not quite as angry as I was yesterday. Still PRETTY angry, but not enough to yell obscenities into my pillow. Anymore, that is. 

"Why Bozi! Whatever is it that you are so angry about?" you ask. Well, despite what the opposition says, I maintain that I have a damn good reason to be this angry. Then again, also consider that the ONLY reason that I'm not locking this particular entry to just my LJ friends is because neither Kelsey nor Corbin probably even remember that I have a LiveJournal (and not so much because I'm worried about offending them, but only because I don't want to have to deal with more "Ur s000 M34N11!!!!11!" shit this Monday).

So. Here's my reason.

Right. So. For information's (and boredom's) sake, I have randomly decided to construct a MASTER LIST of all my favorite animes, cartoons, series, movies, books, games, and et cetera. I consider myself to have good taste when it comes to storytelling (and general bad assery) so hopefully you all can take something away from this list and appreciate its sheer amazingness. Or just stare in awe, either way.

This list will be updated occasionally as I see fit, with new titles and sometimes with links to reviews written over at nocnot. So, be sure to check back every once in a while to see what's new~ (will be highlighted yellow or otherwise noted).

Anyway. That said. This is a list of highly reccommended titles. Of them, the starred titles are the ones that you need to go check out RIGHT NOW, BITCHES. XD.

Now go! Frolic in the awesome!

Yes, it's me again. And yes, I realize I haven't updated in FOREVAR. Sorry 'bout that guys. College has been a motherfucker lately. Stressful, informative...all five classes of it. Yeah, thanks SO MUCH, Mom and Dad, for agreeing on the one thing that I WISH YOU WOULDN'T AGREE ON. FUCK HAVING FIVE CLASSES.

But I digress.

Other than college, I've got quite a few projects up my sleeve, not the least of which is the RP I've started with Andy and his gang over at CEG forums. I've been doing some character, costume, and prop design for amazingadrian, the GM in charge of "Phoenix Rebellion", and I've been a bit busy with that. As soon as I get some of it done, I'll post it over at nocnot.

Which also reminds me! There are also those multitudes of back burner projects I need to re-pick up again soon, not the least of which are completing those Star Fox icons for Andy, completing a batch of Voices Of A Distant Star icons for my own enjoyment, and finally, FINALLY, getting around to redesigning that godforsaken header image for my personal journal. Not to mention finishing the revamping for nocnot as well.

Hah. I'v been SO LAZY.

Hmm, In other news...I'm now officially twenty years old. I've been twenty since last August, actually, but I've only gotten around to making a note of it now because, well...I turned twenty the day after my last boyfriend dumped me, coincidentally. Wasn't really in the mood to acknowledge something as pitiful as "OMG YAY ONE MORE YEAR 'TIL I CAN GET ABSOLUTELY SMASHED IN PUBLIC!1!!11!!1!1 XDDDDD" right then. So, yeah. Real good timing on that one, Alex.

But, by now, that whole mess with him is TOTALLY, COMPLETELY behind me. And you all get three guesses as to why. If you get it right, you get a cookie. If you get it SCARILY ON THE MARK WHOA HOW'D YOU KNOW THAT HOOHAH you get a hundred thousand cookies and a freebie request for yours truly. And if you're Basil, you get that freebie request anyway, even if you get it completely wrong. Just 'cuz.

Guess away, puny mortals!

So. My boyfriend broke up with me.

It feels weird saying it but then feeling sad about it, considering I wasn't that into him towards the end. I actually feel a bit like a pussy now for not being the first one to ask for the break up myself. I think I just feel shitty now though because of the reason why we broke up juxtaposed to how he treated me the rest of the evening. He broke up with me, basically, because I wasn't physically affectionate enough. And it's true, I wasn't very physical with him at all. I don't think I wanted to be either, so I really should've broken up with him sooner I guess.

He was matter of fact about the whole thing, and we agreed on it. We're still "friends", kind of. The rest of the night though? Well, he and his friends weren't outright mean. But. Well. By the end of it all I felt extremely patronized. Almost as if they thought that I should've just sucked it up and attempt to be more promiscuous. They were practically on a soapbox about it at one point.

I thought about it, and I understood their point. I even agreed with it a bit. Except that I don't want that with Alex. I just don't. So why should I even have to suck it up if he doesn't enthuse me in the first place? Course, it doesn't help that I was still in the very slow process of reacting to the entire ordeal as it was happening. And because I am a walking MASS of oxymoronic contradictions, I don't always send off the correct social signals. I didn't know what to say, didn't know what to think at the time, and thus my actions didn't connect with my brain. I might've accidentally given them the impression that I was simply sexually frustrated, which they interpreted by comparing it as an experience akin to the first time you jump off the diving board at the pool.

Yeah. Thank you, but no. Not with Alex.

I finally did explain it to Alex and try to set my feelings and thoughts straight. I came away dissatisfied, upset, and emotionally tired. I cried, though more because I lack control over the impulse to do so and not because it was something worth crying over. I think that for the next month or so, I'll probably be wangsting over the fact that I should've broken up with Alex a while ago but didn't. Teach me to be more up front about what I want.

Still. It could've been worse. Alex was only my second boyfriend ever, and compared to how my first relationship ended this outcome is like a dream come true. Heh, feels good to be able to be grateful for the little things.

Right. So. A lot of things have happened since the end of the July, most of which contributed to my short bout of internet radio silence. For one, I finally left my mom's house and moved back in with my dad. It's a bit surreal, since it's the exact same domicile I used in to live in when my dad and stepmom were still together. In fact my stepmom actually lived in the house for about fifteen years before she even met my dad, so it's like a sense of misplacement almost. Even if Dad's getting the house remodeled and repainted. I feel though the atmosphere is a lot lighter; my dad's a bit strict but he's extremely fair. There's also that undeniable feeling of gleeful wish fulfillment, since I've always wanted to live alone with Dad after my parents divorced. Of course, my grandmother will be moving in with us eventually (as well as all four of her cats in addition to the one already roaming the house) but that's just double wish fulfillment as far as I'm concerned. My not to brag but, well, she once reputedly stabbed a fat slob of a somewhat notable politician (who shall remain nameless) in the hand with her fork for trying to eat off her plate at a White House dinner party back in the day. Yeah, do I really need to say anything else? She just plain kicks ass.

Anyway. I now have a different bedroom from the one I had before, which is now the one and only minor thing I have a complaint about with the whole setup. My room downgraded in size, so I don't have as much space now. Of course, I don't have a chest of drawers for my cloths yet, so I have a lot of clutter scatters around making it feel as though I have very space. The bed is nice though, and I also got an air purifier for the room since, technically, I am allergic to cats. Nothing that can't be countered with steady doses of allergy medicine. Yay drugs!

The rest of the house is stripped bare of furniture, save for a few beds and the piano. It's at times like these that I realize that my home is actually very spacious if you utilize the right furniture properly. Same can't be said for the hallways unfortunately. They were built to be constricting. Also, almost all the walls have now been painted peach. Peach. It looks better in real life than it sounds. But still. Peach.

There's also no TV, not that I cared much anyway. Except that watching spy thrillers or sci-fi flicks with my dad is ridiculously fun. Also, he keeps talking about how funny Caddyshack is. I really want to watch Caddyshack now.

In the meantime though, I still had my laptop. Ah, yes, my beloved laptop. Like a true geek, I watch my TV on the internet. Sometimes on YouTube. Having internet is indeed nice, given that I am addicted to it. Which, ironically, brings me to the main topic of interest. Yeah, um, guess which computer I'm on now. Bet you it's not my laptop!

Raaah. I'm visiting with my mom for the weekend (since she apparently missed me so much after just one week away from her) and I somehow, stupidly, forgot to pack my computer's battery charger. Thus I cannot update nocnot with all the pretty icons like I said I would two days ago, and was then forced to use my old desktop to update my journal. I can still use the version of photoshop I have on my desktop to start unrelated projects, I guess. Thing is though, I had my laptop open to several files on photoshop when the battery gave out (it never warns me ahead of time, the little bastard) and I'm still pissed about that. That's a huge loss of data right there! It's a travesty!

Other than that, nothing much is up. I can't possibly imagine that there is anything else even remotely interesting to write about until they happen.
