As We're Countin Down to Zero

Things I have done today/lately:

- Get over being SICK.
- Worked on my original work which I haven't touched in like months because my home life is INSANE (I had six people living with me for a while)
- My left eye, after a month and a half and almost $500 spent, is back to normal. It is now a robot eye (not really, I wish)
- Had a birthday, went to Denver, ate at a fancy restaurant, went to a night club, puked up fancy dinner. Mission succeeded.
- I have gotten completely and unhealthily obsessed with Attack on Titan and Free. Attack on Titan is about bigger naked humans eating smaller humans. Literally. Free is about gay boys swimming. And that's all. It's wonderful.
- I wrote fanfic again, except its for Attack on Titan. Got 1 review. I suck so hard At least I'm good at something
- I have joined the darkside and am now frequently inhabiting Tumblr. I've had an account on there for a while and never used to it until I started really getting into Attack on Titan. It's nice to see an active fanfom since I haven't been in one since Inuyasha. I went by geofount again if anyone else is alive on there. I haven't posted anything because I'm embarrassed I have no idea how anything works. At all. I know how to follow people! Here's my URL, IDk: http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/geofo…
- Making dinner.

Have some gay boys swimming:

One of the most lovely reviews ever!

First of all, I gotta say that Through Endless Sands is just so depressingly
beautiful, BUT The Load We Bear will remain as the ultimate Ulquihime
fanfiction that I will always remember. The Load We Bear is just... I don't
know, it ticked something within me with all the questions raised throughout
the chapter.

That was like years ago, and out of sheer chance, I decided to visit your
profile again, only to find this piece made. You don't know how happy I am. I
think it relates more to The Load We Bear and I just love the lines/passages
from TLWB that you incorporated in the story. As to this story, I like the
growing Orihime, how, after the depression that hit her post TLWB, she
actually tries to hang on with her life. I don't even usually like Orihime,
but I like the way you characterize her here. The whole realistic issues you
incorporated were also awesome, and I love the mild jealous Ulquiorra, hehe.

But what I love the most, is how you tie the anarchy freedom concept in TLWB
with the few last line of this fic. Simply brilliant. I couldn't have loved
you more. Thank you for the wonderful fic!

/so loved

Quick update!

- My oven is broken and has been since Tuesday. The element burned out. My landlord was good and came Wednesday but unfortunately they had to order the part and with the holiday being in there they still haven't received it. Hopefully it'll be fixed Monday. You never notice how much you use your oven until you can't use it anymore.

- My body hates me. My period has been out of wack the last three months. Like the month before last I hardly had one at all. Then I had one that lasted two weeks. Now, two weeks later, I have it again and it has come back with a vengeance. I have been miserable the last two days and have been popping pills like candy. At least ginger tea seems to help.

- My left eye is messed up. Like my vision has been messed up in it since last Tuesday. I don't know if the eye just got worse, vision wise, but when I wear my contacts it BURNS and sometimes it leaks and feels itchy? I have a doctors appointment Monday for it and I'm hoping its something stupid like pink eye. I really don't want to think about what else it could be. I don't have insurance (my work only offers supplemental insurance through Aflac and it sucks - welcome to america) so if it requires anything further than some droplets I don't know what I'm going to do.

- Really debating moving to Denver here in the next few months. My work is...okay, but I don't get paid enough and its been getting on my nerves lately. I really hate how my boss seems to have this expectation all the time that I am screwing something up, when I haven't in a long time and considering how God awful his training is I think I've been doing pretty well. I have a friend in Denver who has offered to throw my resume around and says he has friends I can stay with. Would sure be nice, although I'd like to stay where I am a bit longer to get some more experience under my belt.

- My cousins are coming out here from Florida to visit/live. As in they bought one way tickets. Currently at my house I have my official roommate, who lives in the basement, a Russian foreign exchange student (also in the basement), my raft guide friend (who lives upstairs with me and has been driving me bonkers), and my dad living here. Hopefully my raft guide friend will be leaving here soon to go back to his home state and my cousins can take his bedroom. I don't really think I can take adding another two people to the mix on top of who is already living here. (On another note they are all MALE. I have not lived with a girl since I moved out here. I had three potential ones that ended up going elsewhere. It has been a sausage fest since I moved here)

- I've been working on my original work a bit more lately. Maybe I'll finish it before I'm 30? Fat chance.

Since I've been watching so much anime recently I've really started to enjoy some more Japanese songs. They're mostly J-pop but hey what are you gonna do? I also started mixing it into my normal stuff at work (thanks Pandora!) which thankfully nobody else at my work can hear.

So I started watching Baccano today because I had heard it was really good and after watching Trigun, ToraDora, Cowboy Bebop, and Madoka Magicka I needed something else to watch. And I was watching the first episode. When this guy showed up:



His name is Isaac. I know absolutely nothing about him, except he travels around with a really pretty girl for some reason, because he showed up literally in the last two minutes of the episode. But I was like "My god this guy's voice sounds so familiar."

So I looked up his voice actor.

And yep he's also none other then Vash the Stampede.



Cannot unsee now.

PM I received on The Pit of Voles:

Subject: At Last!!!

Welcome back to the world of fanfiction, Geo-sama! It's so wonderful to see
you back writing fiction, though I must admit to lifting an eyebrow at the
Orihime/Ulquiorra piece you returned with. I am wondering, however, if you
have any intention to finish your Kohaku/Rin story? I still find that as one
of my all-time favorite stories on . In either case, it's good to see you
back!


I know I'm taking it too personally but this PM bugs me with his raising an eyebrow comment. You insult one of my works and then inquire about when I'm going to finish another one? Isn't that kind of insulting? =\

I think the best response I can give this guy is just none at all.

I wrote fanfiction again. I...actually kind of enjoyed it. Fandom where have you been?!

Anyway I wrote Orihime and Ulquiorra again. I can't get away from them. It's like a mold. They grow on you.

And I haven't even read Bleach since the Fullbring Arc. I must be sick. Or bored. Or maybe I have HORRIBLE UNBEARABLE writer's block on my original work. Yeah that's probably it.

I named it "All That You Can't Leave Behind" after this AMV, which is a cross between Cowboy Bebop and Trigun and is Vash/Faye and it is beautiful and makes me feel wonderful things and you should watch it right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR…

And link to the story because this is my journal and all: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/926040…

I finished watching the Trigun series a few weeks ago and it really got me thinking how much Vash the Stampede resembles Kenshin and vice versa. They are both badasses with incredible fighting capability. Both of them have killed A LOT of people. They both have shitty pasts. They are both pacifists and swear not to take (anymore) human lives. Both their love lives kind of suck. They both bear scars from said past and walk around with said past haunting them over their shoulder. Each of them has a dark side that can be downright frightening. The question is which one is better than the other?

So I present the Vash vs. Kenshin challenge!

Been watching lots of movies lately.

I also watched Death Note: Change the World but I'll likely give that it's own post. Because it's L and he deserves it.

Recent events recently have made me realize how truly lucky I am that both my cats, in the roughly five years I have had them, have been perfectly healthy and safe without any sickness or injury. I am extremely lucky to have them both in my life, and while I may have considered rehoming my female cat in the first year of her life, I am now very glad that I didn't. At the time I was a college student, very poor and she was damaging the places I was living in. I had only wanted one cat at the time, which had been her brother, but when we were unable to find someone to take the female cat I ended up taking her. I don't regret it.

They are my companions and my kids. I don't care if people make fun of me for it. They have been with me in some of the darkest points in my life (my two years in Miami after I graduated college) and they have been with me their entire lives. I was there when they were born and outside of the time I went to Key West for a job they have been with me always. I brought them with me when I moved across the country because I could not bear the thought of leaving them behind and having them think I had abandoned them. I know they are happiest with me and my house would not be a home without them. I spoil them but I don't let them get away with murder either. They are well behaved and actually listen when I tell them NO (in a certain tone anyway). I protect them as much as I can and I've based decisions off where I have lived and the accommodations to make them happy. I leave my door open at night so they can come and go as they please even if a friend is staying with me and I can hear the living room TV blaring like a fog horn. My floor is decorated with cat toys and my furniture is covered in cat hair. (Even though the best toys they seem to find are hair ties, onion skin, or a piece of candy taffy...)

They may take up as much possible room as they can on the bed at night, my female cat hates everyone and everything except me, and my male cat may not be the brightest crayon in the box when he continuously tries to drink out of the sink when there is SOAPY WATER IN THERE! But they are wonderful and I am so very, very blessed to have them in my life and for them to be healthy.

(Note: I'm not dead. Maybe one day I'll make a real post. But I have found a very decent job and a very decent home and am the happiest I have been in quite some time =) )
