nothing is permanent in this wicked world

Mon, 01 Sep 2008 03:09:00 GMT

I'm really glad the love meme I did a couple weeks ago went so well. I didn't, um, quite expect such a large response! Over a thousand comments, really kind of crazy, but neat at the same time.

I was looking through art from my fandom-- there's never that much of it... the one I just linked is kind of cute, I guess, but emo too-- kind of to be expected, all things considered, though, right? The shading's pretty nice, though. I can't draw at all.

I got the job working in tech support! I'm excited about starting. I didn't think I'd even stand a chance when I applied, 'cause I didn't graduate high school or anything like that, and what with the recession... Anyway, hopefully this boss won't be a pervert like the last one I ended up with. I don't have much in the way of a temper so hopefully I'll be good with dealing with fixing people's computer problems over the phone... I start in a week. Wish me luck, heh...

Meme thing!

Me and Pein just got back from vacation which aslkjg was really wonderful! ♥ I'd never been out of the country or anything like that ever before and... just, yeah. It was so incredible!

... Everyone's probably getting tired of me saying I'll try to be around more often but I promise I'll try harder now, I'm, um, hoping to get to apply for a job in technical support with better pay and hours and stuff than the secretary job and things. There are so many people I've just lost track of over the last couple months, and lots of people I feel like I ought to, um, get to know and stuff like that. I never know what's going on anymore like I used to! It's not... really like a hacker to need filling in.

So in the spirit of just... being friendly and things...

LOVE MEME

Leave your username and people'll comment back with things they like about you, or love, or anything like that. And try not to leave it at just I-love-yous so much (thought it's okay if you do), maybe be a little more specific. It means a whole lot to people. You can use anon, too, if you want to confess a crush on someone!

My boss is being a pain in the neck. Apparently I'm not making his coffee right. Which makes zero sense-- I mean, it's coffee, how can you screw that up?-- and so I went back and made him some more about two or three times this morning. No use. After awhile he just gave up and sent me over to Starbucks ('cause apparently he can't function without coffee of some sort)... which only irritated me worse. And the printer at work screwed up and I ended up messing with that during my lunch break.

At any rate, they're kind of... not hiring at the office right now, Ren, but I'll still look around for you! Maybe one of my internet friends knows some place close by that's hiring, and anyway, it's Tokyo, there's always someplace to work. Don't, um, worry or anything...

I'm glad the meme went pretty well. It's neat to see people's different tastes in music and stuff-- illegal downloads are... kind of fun...

The weather's so hot and sticky right now. I've got the air conditioner on all the time, it's absolutely insane to deal with. I... guess it would make okay beach weather, though...

Hey, Pein? Could we talk?

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 01:45:34 GMT

It's been forever since I've updated around here! I guess I haven't had much to say, lately, but it sucks that I've lost touch with everyone like that. askjg It's so awful of me. But... things've been going okay at work and stuff, still working at a desk job (and then getting off work only to be sitting around at my computer desk again, hacking, haha). Anyway, I'm Hiromi from Diabolo, it'll be nice to get to meet you! So, um, in the spirit of trying to get to know people better, or get back to knowing people better, I thought maybe I could hold a

MUSIC MEME

Just comment with your username and people will respond with songs that make them think of you! Or just songs in general, whatever. I... don't have the best music selection ever but I'll upload songs, too, of course...

It's weird to think I've been around here at Brawl so long. Well, not around as much lately, but... I mean, um, so much has happened and I turned eighteen and I didn't... die or go crazy or anything, and ajksgdk things've been going so great lately and for once I think they're going to last that way.

.... I never thought WoW would be as addicting as it honestly is, though.

Even if he is my boyfriend it's probably kind of creepy and stalkery of me to have him as my desktop wallpaper. kajslagj jalksg sdkjg

He looks really akdjgs really hot in it, though...

Sat, 29 Mar 2008 00:45:09 GMT

I've been really... really good lately. XD I guess that's practically a first for me. And busy. Seras and Pip's wedding was wonderful! Congratulations to them again.

There hasn't been much going on as far as work goes to talk about.

Your Score: Piglet

You scored 9 Ego, 22 Anxiety, and 6 Agency!

"It's a little Anxious," he said to himself, "to be a
Very Small Animal Entirely Surrounded by Water. Christopher
Robin and Pooh could escape by Climbing Trees, and Kanga could
escape by Jumping, and Rabbit could escape by Burrowing, and
Owl could escape by Flying, and Eeyore could escape by -- by
Making a Loud Noise Until Rescued, and here am I, surrounded by
water and I can't do anything."

You scored as Piglet!

ABOUT PIGLET: Piglet is a Very Small Animal, who used to live in his own house, a nice big tree. However, after Owl's house was blown over by a storm, he "found" Piglet's house, and Piglet didn't want to tell him that the home was already lived in. So he went to live with Pooh.

WHAT THIS SAYS ABOUT YOU: You are a rather nervous person, and you tend to worry about The Worst happening. You don't really feel capable of dealing with the things that life could throw at you, and so you tend to fret about it. You are one of those people who seems to think that worrying actually accomplishes something... and your friends can't help but love you for it. Your humble manner and self-deprecating ways make your friends feel good about themselves. They want to help and protect you.

Your loving friends are always trying to encourage you to be more independent, and they are right. You need to develop a bit of self confidence and stand on your own two feet.

Do I really worry that much? XD Probably so.

Um, anyway. Yeah. asgjkll I haven't been looking at my friensdslist page lately and so I just checked and now... I sort of wish I hadn't.... good grief.

Fri, 29 Feb 2008 01:58:15 GMT

Pein, I really had a lot of fun on the date. Um, even if miniature golf... isn't my forte at all... XD I'd... I'd like to... um, go out again sometime, I mean, um, that is, if you want to and things...

It was nice to hang out with Rins again, too.

Apparently I missed... I don't even know what I missed exactly. I'll just... I don't know.

Work's gotten a little hectic lately and it's been really cold out... I've kind of hid myself away as much as possible at my apartment next to the heater ~~laptop in my lap~~, heh.

It's... really not very good at all and, um, I think after awhile whoever did it just started using random icons and fanlisting buttons or something, but I guess it's still... kind of neat that someone would try to make a video of Diabolo... I'm not in it but I didn't expect to be, either. (OOC: Seriously, it's Hiromi, she's being way too kind about this video. It's ridiculously bad, just to warn you.)

I've... um, always had my doubts about them just being close friends to, to be honest...

Thu, 14 Feb 2008 03:28:14 GMT

... So, um, two weeks ago I went out with Pein and that was fun. =) He's a nice guy.

Valentine's Day's tomorrow, heh... not my favorite holiday in the world. I never have plans or anything but I hope everyone else's turn out really well!

My life sucks.

Sat, 26 Jan 2008 01:38:19 GMT

It looks like everyone's been back to normal for a couple days now. I'm really glad about that...

I can't say I've been up to too much lately offline. I... decided not to move back in with Mom. Other than that, I don't know.

Um, I really need to do something fandomy but I'm out of fanart ~~that I actually want to post~~ so... if anyone wants me to, I'll take requests! I haven't gotten around to fixing my scanner so it'll all be in Paint, but I'll do my very best!

Sun, 20 Jan 2008 06:36:47 GMT

....

I have no idea what in the hell is going on with about half the people on my friendslist but... some of it's really starting to worry me. A lot.

I... think I'll just go back to bed.

Fri, 11 Jan 2008 22:46:31 GMT

This morning I accidentally set my alarm for six-thirty p.m. instead of a.m. and, um... I ended up waking up at seven and running around a whole lot just trying to get to work on time. I was trying to get to the bus stop and I wasn't even running that fast, I don't think, but I ended up tripping up and falling right in the middle of the sidewalk. It was kind of embarrassing-- this one guy asked me if I was fine and I just nodded and kept running... I really felt bad about hurrying off like that, even though I had to. He seemed really concerned.

Once I actually got to work (fifteen minutes late, and my boss was pissed-off at me) I noticed I'd ripped my skirt a little when I'd fallen down. That really sucked, since it was one of my favorites. And my sewing skills don't even exist, so I might as well just throw the skirt away, practically. Oh, well.

Thu, 27 Dec 2007 05:42:06 GMT

I had a really nice Christmas! I hope everyone else did, too. Um, I didn't go to any parties or anything, but I did go over to my mom's for a little bit, to wish her a Merry Christmas... and that meant a lot to me. I guess maybe it's weird after being on my own for over a year now, but... I still... a lot of me wants to just live in the house with her again. Maybe I will.

I, um, think me and Zuko were supposed to hang out on Christmas but since his twins were born that kind of went (very understandably!) out the window, heh. I hope they're doing well and, um, congratulations to you and Mai!

Oh, and before that I hung out some with Ginny last week, which was really fun, especially 'cause I hadn't done it in absolute ages. We ended up doing a little window shopping, but, um, I kind of had to pry myself away from the computer store sales displays. Omigosh, they had some of the most amazing sales going on, on really great models of computers, too. Four computers isn't ever going to be enough for me, I don't think... it's probably sort of a good thing I couldn't afford any of them, even at a discount, since I don't think they'd fit into my apartment as it is...

I was bored so I looked around fandom a little and found this sketch. I'm not in it but I recognize Ren and Rai and Mio.... Ren kind of looks like he has an earring or something in the picture, though. Maybe it's just me...

Thu, 13 Dec 2007 04:49:46 GMT

Omigosh, I haven't been here in forever! I'm really sorry, I've been distracted... I guess I say that practically every time I update, but it's true.

I finally got a new job. It's just secretarial work, so, um, I don't get to exactly get online on the job too often at all (my boss is hovering over me all the time-- supposedly to make sure I have the hang of what I'm doing, but I kind of have my doubts). Or mess around with programming and hacking. But it's a lot better pay than when I was working at the internet cafe.

It's not good enough pay yet to really get much in the way of presents for people, but I did send out some Christmas cards, instead. I hope that'll be okay... I have one or two left to do, I think, but other than that they should be getting to people soon!

Oh, um, since I haven't been here in awhile I guess I'll do that question meme thing, too. You can ask me pretty much anything you want and I'll answer honestly, I promise.

Thu, 15 Nov 2007 05:02:38 GMT

I thought this article was giving hackers way too much undeserved credit (I mean, granted a lot of hackers are pretty much geniuses but some of them ~~like me~~ basically only excel at computers) and then I read to the end and found out both authors were hackers. Heh, no wonder. XD

Other than that I don't guess I've gotten up to much of anything, exactly... although I really want to visit my mom sometime. It's really hard to believe it's been nearly a year since I left... I don't know, maybe-- this time she'll understand. ~~Maybe since there isn't any danger of me going insane... maybe I could go home and stay.~~

I'd like that.

Oh! Um, also, I've been rewatching old horror movies. Maybe it's weird for someone like me to enjoy them but I do, kind of... nothing too out-there, though, just classics like The Exorcist, the Halloween movies and so on...

And there's this old horror-drama TV show from the '90's that I ended up buying the first and second seasons of the last time I went out to the mall, Forever Knight. It's really good! The main vampire is cute and so is his on-again, off-again girlfriend and stuff, and the special effects aren't that oudated-looking.

Fri, 26 Oct 2007 05:16:25 GMT

I got to hang out with a lot of people earlier this month that I hadn't in awhile... thanks, Seras, Zuko, and An. =) And Hatsuharu, it was, um, nice to meet you and the mall was fun. I hope I'm not forgetting anybody. It's really weird to be so busy and not be in the house, but it's probably a whole lot better for me.

Ginny, Light, can I come to your Halloween party? I know you invited me, Ginny, but I never, um, got back to you on it, is it too late? I'm going to go trick-or-treating with Rukia and some other people, too, but I don't have a costume yet, even though I looked around a little with Zuko. ... I was thinking maybe a ghost, though, something sort of simple like that.

Oh! I finally dug around in my... fandom again and I found this comic thing.

Ren's not nearly that dense....

Sat, 20 Oct 2007 21:13:35 GMT

It's been ages since I've updated. I haven't exactly been busy, really, but... I don't know. I really sort of want to try to go out more, now that I'm not going crazy. Does anyone want to do anything? What about everybody's plans for Halloween? I've always been sort of scared of stuff around Halloween but I guess that's the point, heh... I normally just hand out candy to the kids and don't dress up myself. Maybe this year will be different, though.

Seras and Pip are getting married! akfsjla Omigosh, and I'm going to get to be one of the bridesmaids. I'm really excited for them. =)

There's so many people I've sort of accidentally lost touch with and a lot of new people that I haven't spoken to. I feel kind of rude as far as that goes... but, um, for those that don't know, I'm Hiromi and I hack computers ~~all the time~~ in my spare time. It'll be nice to meet you. =)

Mon, 08 Oct 2007 23:16:29 GMT

I'm okay.

I'm okay I didn't go crazy I didn't totally lose it or try to kill anybody or have to be killed because I was insane oh, oh, my God I'm all right! I'm really all right! I can't believe it! I don't know how but I'm okay! I'm really okay!

Oh my God, I... it... it means a lot to me. Thanks for everybody that tried to help and thanks to everybody that stuck with me even when I was so upset about it, I guess I'm always upset about it but.... I... just... thank you all so much. I think you're more to credit for me being okay than I am.

Mon, 01 Oct 2007 02:12:57 GMT

I actually don't look at Kyouya's livejournal very much since he's a bastard and an asshole (I think, anyway, um, Rukia, I know you and a bunch of other people feel differently but...), but I did find this one thing from a couple of months ago where he'd taken the character page from the manga we're from....

And he got so much wrong that it's ridiculous.

I fixed it as much as I could anyway.

Sat, 29 Sep 2007 02:10:58 GMT

Ten days.

There must've been something I've... God, I don't know, overlooked. I've studied the occult for the past entire year, almost and even though I still... haven't found anything, there should be something. There has to be. I can't just go crazy. I can't just have to be killed on my birthday, just because of some stupid rituals I did and some girl that damned me to hell. I can't.

My computers are all acting up, damn it. I fix one and then the other decides to screw up, so I go back to that one, and then it's just an endless cycle. Normally that'd be fine with me-- heck, in a way I don't really mind when computers mess up 'cause then that means I can fool around with them until I figure out what the problem is, and it's usually nothing, but... right now it's more aggravating than anything.

Me and Rosette went out for coffee last week in her world. It was really nice and it got my mind off things for a little while at least.

Ginny, if you still want to do something soon, I'd like to.

Sun, 23 Sep 2007 01:00:54 GMT

I forgot how boring it was not to have a job anymore. I'm just kind of... there. I'm finally sleeping a little more than usual but I end up with a lot of damn nightmares, which is the last thing I need.

But I don't know.

I called up my mom yesterday. She's still as mad at me as she ever was but I told her I cared about her and I was sorry for putting her through all the stupid things I did, even if she thought I was talking about different stupid things.

I wish I knew of something to do, a way out of this, damn it, because I've tried my absolute hardest to find out some way out... but it's been almost a year since I made the deal with the Diabolo and if I can't face the facts now, I probably never will.

Tue, 18 Sep 2007 22:37:53 GMT

It's almost my birthday. God. I put in my two weeks' notice yesterday.

And don't listen to Envy.

I guess that's about all I've got to say right now.

Oh, um, welcome to the new people, too, I guess. I know I haven't been on here as much as usual, but... I hope you all have a fun time here and stuff.

Mon, 10 Sep 2007 00:24:39 GMT

Azusa. Um.

... I don't... like you... not like that. And... uh... kjafslkjaf yeah, that's all.

akflsj

And I'm sorry to everyone else for the... pink and... junk... that was really embarrassing.

~~God, I'm a freaking hacker and I still opened that damn virus like an absolute idiot... that just figures...~~

... Tatsuki, I, um, maybe this is a little random but do you want to hang out sometime? I mean, um, only if you want to...
