Hey.

Yeah, I don't really post here anymore, if you could tell. I think only a few of you still do that I don't see elsewhere. I hope you're all doing okay!

I've been very inactive on the social internets scene, so-to-speak, but you can still find me on Twitter or Tumblr (though the latter is just random reblogs of what I'm interested in ATM...)

If I'm ever on AIM or Skype, my SN will also be anarchyplatinum, so look for me!

Do I regret paying for a permanent account back in 2007? Hell no, because I get image hosting 4lyfe! or until this site dies.

Oh geez, I'm so rusty on my raw HTML....

Since it was just my birthday...

...I might as well update this thing, no?

Let's see... what have I been up to these past several months? Eh, might as well go with fandom/internet crap first!

First and foremost, I have a Tumblr now! ...Not that I do much with it besides reblog things I like, but still! That's my way of saying "hey, I'm into this". Lazy, but true. The name comes from the anime "My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute", but I changed Sister to Pony. I'm so clever, pfft.

My new obsession is Tales of Xillia. This game is gorgeous. I wasn't following it at all before, even after its release, but DAMMIT I kept seeing posts afterwards and caved, getting the Japanese version last month as an early birthday present. It's probably my favorite Tales game now AND I LOVE MILLA/JUDE KFLDSJDS, even if I can't understand half of it since it's still in Japanese. But I can understand enough. ♥ ♥

Other interests include:
- Mawaru Penguindrum. I have to say I prefer the older episodes to the newer ones, but I'm still enjoying it. Ringo is my favorite character, and I support Ringo/Shoma all the way (and have been an unlikely fan since episode 4).
- Sonic Generations. Such a cool game! And even though I already knew this, it really shows me how much I prefer Classic over Modern.
- My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Yes, still. But I'm more justified than most bronies, seeing as how I used to collect the G1 toys and watch the G1 cartoon when I was little! It's nostalgic, almost. Except more amusing.
- Xenoblade (Chronicles). Such a shame this game's not coming out in North America! It's really fun and the characters amuse me (even though I want to kill Reyn). Can't wait to get to *spoilerspoiler*~
- Houkago Play. Really funny (and kinda ecchi) 4koma about a obsessive gamer and his disgruntled girlfriend who watches him play and sometimes plays with him. I can relate to said girlfriend OTL.
- Nichijou. So funny! But I'm sad it's over so soon... Mio was the best. Oh well, more manga reading for me!
- Disgaea 4. Fun. But it's boring without more DLC.
- Puella Magi Madoka Magica. I AM SAYAKA. But you should know this already~

And I just got Atelier Totori and Knights In The Nightmare PSP (tried the DS version a long time ago but I sucked horribly at it orz). I'll try them out tomorrow!


...Oh, and as for RL stuff? Three words: Winter Storm Alfred. UGH. I don't want to see snow ever again. EVER.

Finally, a reason to post!

So, umm... hi.

Anyway, we had our dinky little anime convention last weekend...

Cosplaying is a lot harder than I thought, since this was such a big step up from my Blue cosplay (where I didn't even have to wear a wig). I was basically agonizing over it for the past two months. Nice to get that load off my shoulders finally!

(Maybe I'll cosplay something more... simple next year. Death of me. DEEEEEEEEEAAAAATTTTTTTHHHHH!)

blogging places without tl;dr

Plurk! I'm trying out different ways to communicate with my friends, seeing as how I'm not on AIM much and I can never think of anything to write for this journal anymore. Twitter's okay for random derp here and there, but not for spamming conversations. So now I have a Plurk for that!

Anyone else who has one feel free to add me if you want to, though my spam tends to be more on the fangirling side than my LJ posts. :P

And oh god, and don't get me started on my temptation to join Tumblr...

Oh! But in other news, I got my Pokemon BW doujinshi yesterday. I'll take a picture of the covers at least, um... tomorrow? When I'm less tired, ahaha. And perhaps I'm willing to re-sale a couple... because you know, these weren't easy to get my hands on, and I'd like more... /devious look

I've had enough.

If you follow me on Twitter, you may have heard of my laptop that has a harddrive that sounds like an elephant blowing its nose. Well, it. Keeps. Happening. More. And. More. Frequently. And. I'm. Going. To. Choke. A. Bitch.

Or go out and get a new laptop tomorrow, whichever.

I like those Macbook Airs, they're nice and flat and light. Hopefully they won't give me newcomputer!problems like my mom's laptop did, however. *crosses fingers*

(I do have to give this computer credit for being with me since 2003, though!)


In other other news, I'm bidding on Pokemon BW doujinshi. Beautiful, beautiful doujinshi.

...What, it'll help Japan! Y-yeah.

Where is me?

I'm so sorry I haven't updated in forever. ;( ..."Things" just got in the way. Yeah, "things". Like my eye surgery. /shakes fist

This journal is probably going to continue to be quiet, unfortunately; I don't really have it in me to post paragraphs upon paragraphs to make redeeming entries anymore.

But I am NOT leaving Livejournal. NEVER. I'm always lurking in the shadows. I have been these past two months, even! Woo, creeeepy~

Seeing as how it is, though, I should probably post where my other regular haunts are, in case y'all want to catch up to me there.

(And I saw another friend of mine do this and I'm so totally not copying her.)

anarchyplatinum @ Twitter
This is my most regular haunt. I post here almost every day, because I can post random things that don't have to make up a journal entry. Yay, less thinking! I've made it public now, so it would be easier for people to add me (I'll deal with the nasty spambots).

Krile @ The Backloggery
I update this quite frequently, so if you check it out you'll always know what games I'm playing! ...That is, if you really wanna know. But I find the comments part the most fun, anyway. So if you join.... /wink wink nudge nudge

Krile @ MyAnimeList.net
I've been a bad girl and have been neglecting my "backlog" of anime... I should really get back to it.

I guess that's all the big stuff. Or something... Maybe I'll make an entry later about my playthrough of Radiant Mythology 3!?!?!??! /unhealthy obsession with that game

why do i even embarrass myself with these

Oh, boy! End of Year meme! I'll do it now because next week will be busy and the week after will be my downfall... yay!

First Fandom of 2010: Uh, I was actually pretty quiet on the Livejournal front this year /shot, so... I'll say Gintama because whenever I started watching it (early this year) is close enough.
Favorite Main Character of 2010: Mmmmhhhrrr... I'm going to go with Gintoki from Gintama since there's another similar category below.
Favorite Villain of 2010: Live A Live's. I can't mention more 'cuz it's a spoiler, but... ♥
Favorite Video Game Character of 2010: I like pretty much all the characters from Live A Live, so can I say that? What? In particular? Then how about Akira or Oersted?
Favorite Game of 2010: Crap! Uh... how about NOT Castlevania: Lords of Shadow? It'll have to be a toss-up between new games Valkyria Chronicles and Star Ocean 4, and oldskool games like Tales of Phantasia and Live A Live. I LOVE THEM ALL.
Favorite Het Couple of 2010: I'm going for Pedobear points when I say Lightning/Hope from Final Fantasy XIII. And Yuri/Farah as my shameless crossover pairing from Tales of VS.
Favorite Yuri Couple of 2010: Mugi/Ritsu from K-ON!, the OTP For A Day. They hardly interact alone together, but that one episode they did...!
Favorite Yaoi Couple of 2010: See below for no details whatsoever.
Fandom That You Never Expected To Get Into: Hetalia AUGH DAMN YOU CONNECTICON /FLIPS TABLES (yeah, my yaoi OTP is Hetalia-related, stfu)
Fandom That Made An Unexpected Comeback: It was never really a fandom to me before, per se, but... man, that new My Little Pony cartoon is freakin' AWESOME.
Fandom That Inspired The Most Crack: Many of the series I was into this year provided their own crack (e.g. Sakura Wars 5 (Peppermint! ♥) and holy hell not even mentioning Hetalia), so I was lazy in this department this year.
Last Fandom of 2010: Atelier Rorona rox my sox. TA-RU!

...There! Now, I'm sleepy. And if I'm sleepy, then how can I not be sleepy? - Norn, Atelier Iris

Art post.

Because I want to post something a little happier - I finished my Stocking!Platina vector awhile ago, I've been just too lazy to post it (other than on Twitter and Pixiv).

Now I'm working on Lyurm & Milleaf with... I'm not sure the rest of it yet. But it's a Summon Night 4 parody. =P

EDIT: And now that I think of it, Cordelia from Atelier Rorona would make a GREAT Panty... /ideas!
