A Safe Space for Moogles

- During in-class critique, concerning a video game interface I had designed:
Classmate: The buttons are very... touchable.
Me: *.....................*
Classmate: ...sorry.

- I got complimented on my shoes the other day. From a complete stranger. That always takes me by surprise.

- 'Nother dream: I had to rescue an old friend of mine from Alabama from a capricious faerie who'd turned her into a small fluffy dog, via faerie-style trickery/manners/wordplay. I had gotten in very close with the faerie, and was just running away with my dog-shaped friend when I woke up. *baps alarm with pillow*

- Saw Kung Fu Panda today. I include this in the 'strange and odd' category because it is a Jack Black movie, and everything Jack Black touches turns to WTF. ( Spoilers herein. )

- Lastly, I don't mean to bring anybody's hopes up since it's all still two weeks and a metric buttload of work away, but, um... I actually think I might graduate. I mean, I think I've started to let myself believe it. ...Okay, look, I wasn't going to do this graduation ceremony, right? My high school graduation was a complete load of horseshit. The highlight was when I stuck my tongue out at the camera right as Dad was taking a picture. But today someone from The Office called because I haven't gotten back to them about buying a cap and gown, and when Mom told me this I pictured it and pictured my name on the announcement and something... just snapped into focus for me, I guess. I've worked my ass off for this, I thought, why shouldn't I stand up there with everyone else? Why shouldn't I be proud? And that's when I started to believe. Despite myself, I started to believe.

My latest interesting dream: ( behind here. )

*thinks* I'd really like to do another porn_battle prompt tonight. Last time I did two, and I've done two this round so far, so I'd like to do at least one more by the time it closes... but it doesn't close 'til Wednesday, and I have FFXII calling my name. Hmm.

Firstly: the Internet seems convinced that today is my birthday. The Internet is mistaken. (I know, shocking. Inaccuracy? On the Intarwebs?) My actual birthday is the first of November. Plan accordingly.

Second: ( the consequences of falling asleep watching the History Channel. )

Third: ( An airplane meme. Apropos considering how often I've made plane trips. )

I think my subconscious is telling me that I really, really, really need to get laid. By a giant robot. Who isn't inclined to kill me.

( Me, Megatron, and the inevitable crack. )

That was the crackiest dream quite possibly EVAR. I'm still giggling over it.

I dreamed that Megatron (G1 version) got infected by the Internet. No, not just he picked up a little touch of the e-chlamydia, I mean the entire Internet. He was a walking repository of - well, you all know what the Internet is like. XD

It didn't seem to dull his effectiveness, though - while the Autobots were all standing around going LOLWUT, Megatron managed to enact his Evil Plan and turned Prowl and Hound into Decepticons. (They made worryingly good Decepticons at that.) I didn't see Starscream anywhere, oddly - you'd think he'd have something to say about Megatron spouting lolisms. Maybe the mighty tyrant rented him out to a porn site.

That'd make a good story, actually. If a brainbreaking one. (Megatron as an avatar of the Internet, I mean, not... oh, never mind, y'all are gonna take that last thing and roll with it anyway. XD)

EDIT: ...Oh my god. My professor is listening to Monty Python on her iPod. WIIIIIN.

Bowing to the inevitable poptartodoom's request, I crocheted a bomb over the weekend. (Pictures after Botcon, as I really just want shots of Wheeljack holding the bomb.) Last night I dreamed that said crocheted bomb got me arrested when I tried to bring it back onto the base.

"But it's made of yarn, you idiots," I kept explaining. It didn't make much difference.

In other news, I totally fell asleep in the bathroom half an hour ago. Definitely taking a nap after class. -_- Hopefully I'll be energetic enough afterwards for a game of cards. Grandma's staying with us this week, and if you're not at the top of your game she will eat you alive.

An hour after my clock radio went off, I woke up and remembered that a) I'm not a famous pop/R&B star, and b) I have never owned a horse.

That was one of my better dreams, even if it featured the horse taking sick at one point. *sulks and goes back to the Real World*

It's been Persecution Complex Theater the past couple of nights.

( Dream 1: Saturday night )

( Dream 2: Sunday night )

Not bad or scary, just odd. Possibly story-making too.

Anyway, I've been sleeping pretty much nonstop since Friday (the first day of my spring break), but I did manage to drag myself to poptartodoom's house for costuming and general tomfoolery. We managed to get quite a bit done (even more when Poptart discovered the joy which is staples, considering I can't sew worth a hill 'o beans) despite watching copious amounts of Transformers and fooling around in the mall and Walmart, but it looks as though my weekends are spoken for until after BotCon. We've still got a lot of work to do. (Ratchet and Wheeljack will make it to BotCon, dammit! Even if we have to take felt markers to a couple of T-shirts.)

I actually participated in this month's porn_battle. Kuja/Garnet, bondage and Edgeworth/Phoenix, role reversal. Actually, I highly recommend going through the master list, as there are many, many sweet pornings to be had.

(Speaking of which, I should really start on my prompt for takoyaoi_love...)

Also, some awesome idiot rickrolled the WBC. That makes me happy really a lot.

First day of mid-quarter break, woo. I spent most of it being dizzy and tired. x_x Mom thinks my body needs to catch up after being stressed this past week, though I think to fully recover I'd need to sleep this whole week and I really don't want to do that. Want to Do Stuff that I don't have time or mental energy for during school, darnit.

It was snowing today, too. I wish I'd had the energy reserves to go out and play in it. *is Cybertron after nine million years of war*

Last night I dreamed about Kingdom Hearts cosplay. I finally decided to go with Heartless Riku when I looked in a mirror and saw silver hair and green eyes, so I wouldn't have to dye my hair. ...If someone's making me a Sephclone in my sleep, I kind of don't want to know.

This afternoon I dreamed that I was a pregnant Aeris, running around trying to avoid capture by Shinra (in a real-world suburb, if a rather run-down one - definitely not Midgar). They found me anyway, but Cloud and Sephiroth were there to help me, and we tricked our captors and scamperfoomed for the living of a life on the lam.

Also, I heard "Doctor Feelgood" and "Doctor Love" on the radio today, both of which put me in mind of Ratchet in an amorous mood.

My subconscious and my stereomancy are just going to have to battle for supremacy, is all.

It's been fandom dream after fandom dream lately.

First there was the one where I was in the Slums under Midgar, which was under siege by the Heartless. But that was okay, because Zack was there and he was looking out for me. I felt so secure that I could go shopping in Wall Market without worrying about getting my heart eaten. I got a nifty weapon-carrying belt. ^_^

Number two involved being mooglenapped by Beast Wars Megatron. I think it was sort of a hostage situation, since he wasn't doing me any mischief - mostly we just snarked at each other and he allowed me the run of a backyard with a pool. Then for some reason the pool got a whirlpool in it, and I had to find my way to freedom through there.

Then this afternoon was sort of a Kingdom Hearts/Lion King thing. Except it was in a factory facility with all these animals trapped in captivity everywhere. I was running around as a lion cub freeing everyone, and eventually I hooked up with Simba and Riku to go after the Bad Guys. I think a spaceship may have been involved.

That last dream may have been partly the fault of the raspberry martini I had during Mom's birthday dinner. (She adored the scarf I got her, yay! ^_^) Normally I only drink if I know I don't have to drive anywhere anytime soon, but I figured my parents would be able to tell if I was too impaired to drive home afterwards. As it was, Mom had us walk around a bit after lunch, which put me in the perfect place to get absolutely drenched by the rain right as I got to my car. XP That'll sober you right the hell up.

On the way home I saw a rainbow. :D

Also, I found a Spider-man book by Jim Butcher. MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN, I swear to God. *hearts the Holy Grail of Snark*

Anyhoo, a quizlet:



...Hee. ^_^ I also has Five Questions. Comment if you'd like some if your own - you know the drill.

Really need to make a new layout.

So I've been having trouble sleeping.

Specifically, I have trouble getting to sleep before two in the morning, particularly on days when I have to be up at 7AM the next day for school. This leads to a shambling zombiemoogle when I really do need to be semi-alert. And thus it was, O Best Beloved, that the moogle went out and procured for herself a box of generic-brand sleeping pills. Took a half dose (on account of antidepressants) half an hour before bed, as per pharmacist's instructions, and fell asleep within a few minutes of hitting the pillow.

And slept 'til noon. Hmm. Mayhap this is not the answer to my problem. Or maybe I should just take a quarter dose on school nights.

ANYWAYS. Apparently sleeping pills, in addition to zonking me out liek whoa, also give me hella fandom dreams. To wit: I was a ninja-esque person with dual daggers helping the Ninja Turtles fight a gigantic floating monster with ribbony-whippy tentacles all over the place. My strategy was apparently Death From Above, which seemed to work very well, seeing as how I remember landing the killing blow. However, in the beast's death throes it threw me several hundred feet and I wound up breaking just about every bone in my body. I was remarkably cheerful about this.

I was taken to a hospital complex that looked remarkably like PotC!Singapore what with the waterways and all, and underwent some water therapy, and it was then that my dream-fandom went abruptly from Ninja Turtles to Ghost Rider. Somehow in the course of my healing I'd picked up another Rider-like spirit. In my dreams it called itself Night Rider, but thankfully in my dreams I resembled Eva Longoria more than David Hasselhoff. At some point my subconscious apparently decided I was in fact Eva's character (whatserface), because when my father (played, in my dream, by my grandfather) was Grabbed By The Ghoulies, it was he who had my back. I was just trying to figure out how to make my Rider-ness extend to my bike when I woke up.

The moral, I think, is that I still have that tendency to self-insert absolutely everything. Which is something about myself I have learned to accept.

Back to roomcleaning...

So I'm sure there's something Freudian about this dream I had: ( Disturbing content. )

I'm sure my period's to blame somehow. Speaking of which, electric heating pads are a gift from the gods. *sighs happily and snuggles up with it* ^____^ I'm tempted to take it to school tomorrow.

Anyway, I finished my fics for this round of springkink! YAY! My last four are as follows:
When You're Angry: Transformers canon-in-a-blender, Mikaela/Carly. Because the world needs more TF femslash, as Spike and Sam will attest.
Clean: G1. Optimus angsts. Jazz wants to help.
The Pirate and The Thief: Pirates of the Caribbean/Final Fantasy IX, Jack and Zidane meet under less-than-ideal circumstances, and summarily make the best of it.
Shield: G1, Optimus/Ironhide manly fluff.

I've got three months' worth of kink to code and put up on my website, of course, but once that's done I'm going back to the fic projects that've been gathering dust. So, Mythbusters/Transformers, postgame Sephiroth angstfluff, flowerverse (although I've been doing pretty well on that the last couple of days), and 50kinkyways - here I come! >D
