Your result for The Fan Fiction Personality Test...

The True Fan

OOC is blasphemy, canon is everything.

Once you fall in love with a movie, book or TV series, you are loyal like an old dog. You take fanfiction quite serious and use it as a substitute after the canon ran out.


You are probably a walking dictionary of your favourite fandom and you are picky about what you write and read. The closer to the "real thing" fanfiction is, the more you like it.


You rather explore a character in all depth, see new sides and learn more about them than creating new characters or mix up the situations they are in.

Bahaha, I knew I'd get this. :P

I kinda feel like FALCON PAUNCHING Adecco. I don't know if it's possible to Falcon Pauuuunnnccchhhh a company, but the thought is tempting.

/FOAMS )

This annoys me very much. But!! But I'm not at the BEST PART YET.

WHAT? THERE'S A DRESS CODE! )

I haven't even gone through my closet, but there's not much there. I don't buy dressy clothes hardly ever, and when I do, they're cute tops to wear during the summertime. I'm always cold. I don't buy "cutesy" sweaters, okay? I BUY THINGS THAT WILL KEEP MY COLD SELF WARM. LIKE HOODIES. OR FLANNEL.

I seriously have no idea what to do. There's no way they can make me spend money to keep my job! I can work JUST AS WELL NO MATTER WHAT I WEAR. D:

Electric bill for the house I live in? $450. That doesn't include the garage, which makes the total almost $500.

I turned my heat way down. I hate doing that, because I hate being cold more than anything, but neither my parents nor I can afford to fork out any more money every month.

Also, it's been snowing all afternoon, so the roads are looking pretty bad. This means I have to leave a little earlier for work. Sigh. I honestly have no idea what they'll do with me this week. Maybe I'll go back to sorting gloves. :|

I wanted to get some writing done, but when it all boiled down to it...I couldn't force myself. Maybe tomorrow?

So here I am at 4:04am. Unable to sleep. I hate this. I can't wait until I get tossed back to first shift. I'm sure it'll be a blast. I'll have to stop drinking caffeine, then, for certain.

Tomorrow before work I'm going to try and get some writing done. (That is, if I can fall asleep soon. Elsewise I'll be asleep until it's time to leave for work. LE SIGH.)

In other news, my sister is back at college. The good thing is that my bedroom (and living room!) are now clean again. The bad news? It's kinda dull without her around. I hope I don't dip down into another funk or anything. Boo.

CiCi says it's time to sleep, though. She's found her way over here and is squished up against my side purring away. I'm so glad I have this cat. ♥

The deathchargers of World of Warcraft grin at you. All the time. No, seriously. Hence the icon. (A Crest!Smile~) Also icon-related... I have an RP journal for WoW, now. (WHAT PLEASE DON'T SHOOT ME.) I hope to actually update it now and again. [info]wowcraft! Friend it if you care. If you'd rather fry your eyeballs in a skillet over an open fire, feel free to not add. I just thought it'd be fun!

Anyway, the entire point of this entry is really [info]qieru's fault. I started off on this horribly long, rambly tangent about something-or-other, concerning the phrase Jack of all Trades: Master of None.

I am actually a firm believer in this phrase.

With the exception of [info]qieru, who seems equally epic at both writing and drawing, most people find that they will only ever become exceptionally good at one thing in life. For the dorks online, it always seems to be writing or drawing. Which is strange, I suppose, but hey.

Blah blah blah... )

Why no, this didn't really have a point.

Also, I'm lazy as lazy can be. Yeehaw.

Comment with which character you want me to talk about, and I'll tell you these things about them! (As many as you so desire.)

a. What initially prompted me to write/draw them.
b. One of their best traits.
c. One of their worst traits.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write/draw the character.
e. The moment where I feel that I truly captured the character.
f. My plans to write/draw the character in the near future.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

A guy is tracked down and busted for drug dealing through World of Warcraft!

Here is his character.

I laughed so hard. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's drugs. Next is talkin' 'bout drugs on WoW. C'mon guys, do you really think you're OMGINVINCIBLE? He totally had it coming. And no, smoking pot does NOT make you cool. It makes you a dumbass.

I really hate gamers who think they're OMG 1337H4X0RZ because they do some kind of drug and play games. Doesn't that just make you stupid? Yeah. Humanity. It's going down, down, down, down the plumbing pipes of Intelligence.

-100 intellect to you, chump.

My favorite story this year (of my own):
Ahhh! I can't decide. I really liked But a Breath, Music of the Spheres, In the Silence, Mausoleum, and most of my collection pieces (for Arpeggio, Accorde, Lutte Contre l'Incendie, and Every Color of the Rainbow).

I totally ran into [info]kaiousei on the Wyrmrest Accord RP website. :'D I'm amused beyond amused. (Small internet, isn't it?) Her character seems so cute and fun. ;O;

GUYS GUESS WHAT. The Fire Emblem fandom is DEAD.

The fanfiction part has been a little slow lately, but with 10 (or 11) games to write for, don't people realize that it splits the fandom down? I'm not necessarily in the FE1-5 fandom, per se. Not really in the FE6 fandom. Not really in the FE8, FE9 or FE10 fandom... But to say the entire FE fandom is dead is stretching it a little bit. As long as the writers for said fandom are still around, I'd say the fandom's doing pretty good for itself, right? Especially for a video game fandom.

Dead fandom? Have they seen G Gundam or any of the REALLY DEAD fandoms that get less than a story a week? Shut up it's totally possible to get less than one 'fic a week.

Anyway, yes. FE isn't dead. It's just hibernating! Amirite?

DISCUSS?

This icon is pretty much a representation of my brain right now.

Spinny shiny sword. Spin, shine, spin, shine. Etc. Rinse and repeat. Don't take your eyes off of it. You might miss something exciting. Or not.

I saw Shannon today. The guy likes me so much that...I don't know. It's weird for me. I'm not used to anyone liking me that much. [insert confused expression here] But he's such a sweetheart. Sigh. He said that he thinks about me a lot, like "all the time". Isn't that flattering? And he said he almost bought me manga (andandand hearing him try to pronounce "anime" was HILARIOUSLY EPIC), but he got so confused and then didn't know what kind I liked, et cetera. Sighsighsigh.

I have Honda nuts. And I don't mean of the metal variety.

My RP characters on Wyrmrest Accord are developing their own personalities. Someone kick me in the head, please. Or just kick me, period. I'm seeing spinny shiny light on the end of a sword, and I need to do something productive. Like write! Or post some of those 'fics that are finished, but not uploaded/html coded. Why did I decide to post those monstrosities here at LJ, anyway.

NO I WILL NOT WRITE WoW FIC, BRAIN. NO NO NO NO NO. NO.

Christmas was boring as usual.

This evening I went to the zoo to see the lights. It was cold. Nastily cold. And windy. And I'm exhausted.

I wrote my sermon, and will probably post it tomorrow after church at [info]inkedstripes for those who want to read it. With me luck, guys!

Real Life has been hammering me, lately. I guess I'm going back to work for a week after Shutdown, and then other stuff. Who knows? They keep changing their minds! I will update my journal on this again later.

Lately I have not been interested in much around me. TV? Nah. Fic? Nah. Reading? Nah. Writing? Nah. I've only been interested in World of Warcraft and the Wyrmrest Accord server. It's nice to escape reality now and again, I guess.

I am going to Shannon's on Monday morning.

Merry Christmas, guys. Sorry I have not been around lately. I'll try to be on again later or something.

I will tag/reorganize the [info]fe_exchange hopefully soon, and upload a few more of the Christmas 'fics I owe y'all.

All in all, Christmas was boring. As usual. Slept in until 1:30pm, ate lunch, watched stuff on YouTube, and am getting ready to n00b-RP in World of Warcraft on the Wyrmrest Accord server. :|

Have a wonderful day, guys. :]

So apparently, the 10 days they give me for modified work...

INCLUDE CHRISTMAS SHUTDOWN.

So January 4th, instead of going back to work at Honda, I have to go work...somewhere else.

Probably in an office. An Adecco office.

Doing...what? I have no idea. Anything that requires usage of my hands/arms is a no-no. So...I can't do...what. Paperwork. Filing. Typing. Coffee-getting. Answering phones. Very interesting.

Oh, plus I have to go back to working day shift. I'll get an hour lunch? Starbucks is right next door. (I've never been to one before.) I have to take the freeway to work again. (/SOB)

More information about this...splendid development in the life of the Mannadon. )

Speaking of Shannon-- he wants to get together with me, but a lot of things we could do are otherwise ruined by my teeth. Like seeing lights. Nobody has once ever thought that being outside could hurt my teeth.

Never.

Not even my parents have thought of that.

But Shannon did.

I don't think I love him. Not yet. Maybe that will come in time. He's so thoughtful that I can't help but like him. I want to produce little!Shannons. I want to love him.

I'm afraid that my negativity is going to ruin things with him, though. I don't really want to do anything. I like not doing things. It's routine for me. Going out and doing something "fun" is really just more stress on my plate. Eating out is stress. Being in public is stress. There is very little I enjoy doing outside of the home. And lately, with all the stress that's already piled on me, I can't deal with a whole lot more.

Bah. On one hand, I really want us to move forward in our "relationship". On the other, I'm terrified that we will. Qué sera sera?

I HAVE A VRY SRS QUESTION GAIZ.

QUESTION: What can one do when they have tendinitis?

I mean, seriously.

Sit around and do nothing? Because EVERYTHING REQUIRES YOUR ARMS. NO I WILL NOT EAT WITH MY FEET.

Is TV seriously the only option out there. I hate watching TV for long periods of time. It's dull. I'd rather sleep. But one can only sleep for so many hours a day! And falling asleep with tendinitis is a challenge in and of itself! D:<

I'd rather be WoW-ing. I'd rather be GRINDING REP IN WOW. I'd rather be writing. I'd rather be-- hell!-- editing!

I'd rather be, I DUNNO, DRAWING. And I can't even draw!

This really sucks, and just like my stupid teeth, it's not going to go away.

Snap.
