12/27/09 11:15 pm - [info]shaycaron - [Times] Merry Holidays 2009

Well, I'm relaxing back at my apartment after five days spent with my family for Christmas celebration. Tomorrow marks the return to normality and to work, and I assure you I'm not looking forward to it. But you've gotta do what you've gotta do.

Now, it's traditional in this journal for me to list off my yearly haul. So without further ado, here we go. The gifts I was given, as well as a few things I bought with money or gift cards given to me.

No photo this year, sorry. )

Aaaaand I can't think of a good closing line, so... good night.

12/27/09 02:19 pm - [info]annwyd - a semi-productive question?

I have a problem.

I get ideas for stories. I flesh them out in my head. But I can never manage to write these ideas down. Sometimes I can start the actual story, get a chapter done, but I can't pour out the plot seeds and character notes. It feels weird and unnatural.

But I know I need to write this stuff down, or I'll never finish anything. I need to make an outline, and for that I need to put down notes.

Any ideas? What helps you write outlines for your writing projects?

Namie Amuro is a very big Gundam fan. So much so that, when she approached the guys responsible for the series, asking if she could dedicate one of her music videos to the 30th anniversary, they said yes. And even let her share animation time with another famous Amuro..

LJ Cut because lj thinks this should be huge..??? )

warning: music track is stupid-catchy

In reference to Judas Priest's "Painkiller":

[info]nightambre (11:15:58 PM): I forgot that Halford's doing his creaming thing for most of that.
[info]nightambre (11:16:01 PM): ...../screaming/ too.
[info]nightambre (11:16:06 PM): Hello Dr. Freud.
[info]elisabeth (11:16:17 PM): *ROFL* Who exactly is creaming?
[info]nightambre (11:16:33 PM): IDK and I don't WANNA know

so if anyone has any wii games they would like to donate/lend/sell to me, speak up! recommendations would be appreciated too!



ALSO I've decided to use the twitter I made ages ago to announce when I'm drawing live on ustream. probably not for anything else. I also am announcing on DA, but I figured it'd be too much to bother LJ with it each time.

The end of this arc is coming to an end, but the story isn't done yet! I'm also unfortunately approaching the end of my pre-written stuff, so it may take longer to update, but I'll try and keep things consistent. Doing my word count, man, that chapter was short when I split it. Sorry guys.

The last of Grandma's generation died during the night of Christmas Eve. Great-Aunt Eileen Rahmer died at 88 years of age. Thankfully, she had it much easier than the other relatives - no coma, cancer, or agonizing over life support. She passed away in her chair, while reading a book.

Mom says to not be depressed over it, since she is now reunited with her parents and siblings.

Aidan's trying to get Ryan to give him some of his bakugan. To him, they're just little balls (Have I mentioned how much Aidan loves balls? I'm honestly NOT trying to be perverted here!).

Well, since they're small, Ryan's been denying him. Finally Aidan crouches down, grabs one of the balls that he got for Christmas, tosses it in his brother's lap then holds out his hand expectantly. It was totally "Okay, I gave you mine, now you give me yours."

12/25/09 07:42 am - [info]nightambre

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Loot:

$50 dollar gift card to Dick Blick
Sims 3 World Adventures
Heroes Print feat. Jae and her two pets (geeeeek)

Ryan:
Lots and Lots of Bakugan
Ultimate Alliance 2
a Tote thing

Aidan:
Toys with balls that he's more interested in playing with than the toys the balls come with
Some Baby Einstein thing
RasafrackinElmo (e.e)
Baby Books (that he has no interest in 9.9 Why pay attention to books when he has his balls to play with!)

Carnivorous Plant Kit :3

12/24/09 10:01 pm - [info]shaycaron - [Life] School and Holiday

I'm a bit too sleepy to come up with a clever title tonight.

So I'm relaxing at my parents' house with said parents and my brother Kipp, all of us winding down in preparation for the morning. Yesterday Kipp picked me up from my apartment and brought me down here, where we had the party with Mom's side of the family. And tonight we just returned from dinner with my grandmother on Dad's side. So it's been a nice couple of days, and I'm free to stay here until Sunday. (Got W-F off from work, and my next shift isn't until Monday.)

Now, since Indigo reminded me I hadn't posted about this, I thought I'd share the current news on my schooling. Still working on that accounting degree; I only managed to register for two credits this past semester, because I left registration until late. But I made it through that 2-credit course with a solid 4.0. And I've got 8 credits to look forward to in the winter/spring semester: Cost/Managerial Accounting I and Federal Income Tax I. Plus I was approved for some financial aid! The need-based grant I got will cover the school year's total tuition and then some, which is great news to hear.

With that all recorded, it's off to bed with me. I know, I know, but no matter how old I get I will never stop being excited about this night. Kipp commented during the party Wednesday that my eyes lit up when we were getting to the present-opening time, and you know what? I'm proud of that and I refuse to outgrow it. |D Merry Christmas and happy holidays, everyone. ♥

...

I just realized, all my sleeping clothes are in the wash. Shay, I don't think you thought your cunning plan all the way through.

12/24/09 04:20 pm - [info]yankeerose69 - Christmas greetings!

It's SNOWING *dancedance* It's SNOWING! *dance* And it's windy. And it got colder since I got off work @ 11:30am. Not gonna stick but it's snowing, that's all that matters. Even went as far as braving a few shops & not killing anyone in the process. *lol* Got myself a few awesome goods which I'll take pics later on the weekend, some for friends, and kitty got a bag of treats.

I would've offered some music dl's and goods but got lazy. I'll just work on having it ready for a new yr's eve gift instead.

Hope everyone has a safe and Merry Christmas!
