This gets long, and massive, and I'm not sorry, but... when am I, lately?
Yes, PersonaMUSH... the one place I never am, and I'm sorry. I'm probably going to drop Chizuru Ishigami, unless someone /really/ wants me to keep her, I enjoy her character, her personality, and who she is, but I don't know what to do with her. I'm in the same boat with Yuuka Chiba, who I did not handle well, and while I'm not going into it, it's probably better if I figure out a way to tuck her out of sight, and concentrate on Casey Coburne and Nanako Dojima.
As far as Nanako goes, we have an incredibly active Dojima, and I need to take advantage of it, although there is /some/ in-character amusement by the fact that they are not really scening, although I know I keep nearly getting scenes with other people like Adachi and Katsuya, and things always end up interrupting them or I'll get asked and completely forget, which I'm starting to combat with a Google calendar so I can... not go through that again.
Casey just needs RPed, period. I like her characterization, I didn't have a good handle on it, and I do now, and I'd love for her to get more involved in shenanigans with the P2 area crew, especially since she does have Girflet(Griflet? how come I can never make my mind up on this) and should probably get some explanations tossed at her even if it has to be time-bubbled.
What, what? You're on M3? Why yes, yes I am. I am Princess Pride, the Cream Knight.
Princess Pride is almost unique in her design and that she's definitely a fun character. She's kind of a sassy little princess, and she enjoys having things thrown at her that she doesn't know how to deal with, even if in the end, it hurts. I'm unsure of where to take her direction at the moment, but now that Laika's player is back, I'm sure we'll manage to work something out.
Gods all bless super robots. Silvia got an active Apollo again, and now that I'm off my vacation, we should be up to some shenanigans, I need to talk to him to see what he would like to do, especially in terms of characterization and working in canon plots on the MUSH and what we can do to break Canon.
Which I love doing.
I also apped for and got Aya Kobayashi; I like her character in that she's a leader but she knows how to relax, and that's not something I'm really experienced with, so it should prove to be interesting as we get the SRX team back together. Huzzah, giant robo buddies.
Aerith's TP went out well, I think the finale was kind of weak but I wasn't anticipating needing to split it up but got requests to have a night that wasn't Wendsday. I probably should have also not ran them two nights in a row, because now I'm worn out on the plot, even though its' over.
Small blessings, I suppose.
Penelo is in a rough spot; she's been hanging out with Edgar lately and that hasn't led to much RP, but evidently we have a new Bunnie that Firion wants Penelo to hang out with(Read: Dark night Viera Deanna), so that should prove interesting. Vaan's back around too so that should help.
Amianna is my white mage elf. She's actually kind of dangerous, and I need to RP with more heretics.
Well, I'm not going to PAX PRime. Money/financial issues knocked that one out of the ballpark, and I potentially might not make PAX East either if this keeps up.
My 21st birthday was a blast, even if I didn't get drunk; I had lots of fun with friends on various places and enjoyed hanging out.
Due to my local DMV being stupid, I wasn't able to do it last week, but now that I have all the paperwork(wouldn't take a specific piece of snail mail to prove residency last week) I'll be able to go to the DMV and get my state ID.
Once I have that(same day, get it), I can go to the GED office and finally sign up to take the test. Oh god, I need to study. So I will probably disappear during the next month or so.
I've been exercising a lot lately; I've been doing the P90X program with friends online. I hate plyometrics with a goddamn passion, guys. /Hate/ it. But it's worth it. It's staying warm out too so I can start hitting the apartment pool, which will help, because I don't easily leave a warm pool once I'm in it. Hah, I'm a dolphin.
My nosebleeds however are staying frequent, and sometimes I worry they are getting worse. Some people might claim it's because of the weather or that it's been dry out, but I've been taking cautions for these and nothing is working. It's scary not noticing you're having one and then realize you do because you've got that metallic tang in your mouth from where you accidentally tasted it.
The Michigan economy sucks. In my free time I've been writing a lot of fan-fiction and fiction in general, to keep myself busy, as well as generally being artsy and trying to work on my drawing skills?? Yeah, no, I can't art at all.
However, the good news is that even without my GED I still did my FAFSA and I should be able to get about 5000$ for the rest of the college year; our local community college has the cheapest tuition in the area at only 102$ per credit hour, which means I can afford to go full-time and not have to get a loan or pay out of pocket. That, and my community college will take me as a temporary student without my GED.
I just hope we don't have to move, because the apartment is nice, but slightly expensive and with me not able to get a job and the roommate not able to get more hours/a second one, we're barely bringing in enough money to survive. Ach.
All in all, it's a lot of good, a lot of bad, and it just evens out in favor of good...
I think.
