1. My username is ______ because ______: ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) rainbowling because my friend Albert suggested it one day. I was remarking to him how neat my friend's screenname was (jukeboxing champ) because it was like the "before and after" category on Wheel of Fortune. He came up with "rainbowling" and I wanted to make it my gmail address but I think it was taken. So when I came over to IJ I wanted to switch things up from my old name of katidilemma, and I went with that.
2. My name is _____ because ______: "kati, the happy little feller :]" because it was said somewhere and KLDJFKLJF i can't remember now! Probably in a chat? IDK.
3. My journal is titled ____ because ____: "and where the journey will lead you, let this prayer be your guide" because I had been listening to Shadowland from the Lion King and it's one of my favorite songs ever. I'll probably change it soon.
4. My default userpic is ____ because ____: Seth Rogen in Fanboys because that's the latest set of icons I made and I adore that face he's making. |

BUT I AM ANOTHER MEME O GOD. Seriously, if you looked at these fucking outlines and saw that I was doing stupid shit like describing the shape of an amphora or the usage of a fucking vase (seriously, it is a vase, ITS PURPOSE IS TO SIT AROUND YOU DICKHEAD), then hahahaha you would maybe understand my total lack of desire to write this. How do you even write the opener to this pile of dick? Ugh, whatever I'll get it out... after I write this.
1. My username is ______ because ______: irridescent sounded like a good idea at the time! I was moving over to IJ and didn't really think that I'd be using this for much (HAHAHAHAHA) since it was at the beginning of my tentative foray into RP again and wasn't sure if it would last. So I was all, "LMAO SOMETHING SHIMMERY SPARKLY SURE!" and then I realized as soon as I made it that I fucking misspelled the damned word. If I thought that I was going to be here longer, I would have made the journal name reflect yours truly a little more, such as ~teasexual, which was my journal over at GJ. But, such is life! Someday, I'll be able to afford a rename token and then I really will become ~teasexual since I was never able to get any of The Clash renames that were on the market. 8|
2. My name is _____ because ______: "Haydn taught me NOTHING!" is from a Kate Beaton comic about Beethoven. It was too fucking perfect. It'll probably change the next time something lmao-worthy comes about.
3. My journal is titled ____ because ____: "The hope is that you cannot see me later. / I am an introvert, an excavator" is straight from Santogold's "L.E.S. Artistes," which really does earmark me as some faggy hipster dickweed. Beyond that, though, it's a song about working hard for something you love and not wanting stupid mouthbreathers to suck off of you just because they can tell that you're the next big thing, and I think the lyrics about work ethic are something I can identify with even if it makes me look pretentious as hell. Also, it's just a nice song.
4. My default userpic is ____ because ____: BABY SLOTH SPOONING WITH A HAND because HOLY FUCK YOU RETARD, IT IS A FUCKING BABY SLOTH SPOONING WITH SOMEONE'S HAND, ARE YOU RETARDED?! Unless you are poor Ms. andrewryan, in which case I am just an asshole who terrifies her every time I post. |

So, ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) rpwrimo.
I did not make the goal, but I felt that I did a whole butt-load of writing this month. That was very good for me to try. I've noticed that my writing has gotten a lot better, and it's easier for me to write more. In most writing forms I take on, I'm always an extremely concise writer. Essays, fiction, etc. Which was the entire point of the exercise. I got very close, though with 25,868. I'm very proud of this! The breakdown is here.
I probably would have made it if I kept a running word-count, but I didn't want to turn it into a thing where I would just massage my writing just to make my word limits. There's also the fact that I basically fell off the last week of November.
Maybe next time, eh? |

My inner Lexi is getting very uncomfortable with this experiment in the video we're watching in class. It's talking about being in an absolutely dark room with no light at all, and whether you'd still be able to see anything or not.
My poor little claustrophobe is freaking out at the thought of being in a completely dark room without even the barest hint of light.
*pats her*
(These middle schoolers are so cute that they think that your eyes can just adjust to absolute complete darkness. Even after six minutes in the dark, this one girl was still adamant that your eyes would adjust ... even if "it might take a few years" ........ wtf)
ETA: WAIT, OMG, MY MIND IS BEING BLOWN RIGHT THIS MOMENT: CHILDREN HAVE MINDS OF THEIR OWN!!! |

Yes this is a repost with the same title. I tried to write again when I realized there are prompts from the LJ page that seem to make NO SENSE AT ALL. I know that part of the challenge is to write something with a difficult prompt, but I mean, with some of them you just couldn't even begin to figure out what a phrase even meant.
So I redid the Angst Prompts, by mix-and-matching. SO! That means people who had commented before? Recomment. xD
SET THREE (Angst Theme)1. please forget me never - Elizabeth & Marly
2. sun-faded photographs - Deshan & Kamal
3. he/she didn't look back
4. like footprints in the sand - Meredith & Greta
5. never forgive, never forget
6. just like everyone else - Dylan & Sloane
7. perhaps
8. in cold blood - Charity/Michael
9. facing tomorrow alone - Quinn/Marion
10. never really existed - Ritchie/Keira
11. a million little pieces - Ida & Meredith
12. crumbling epitaph
13. don't say yes - Jessie/Teddy

I think Queenie hates all of Marie's characters :( She just made a new enemy today with Roux. It's probably like Loren says:
Loren: The teachers probably have conversations about Queenie in the lounge
Loren: Or at poker night w/e
Loren: "Bahahaha, did you hear about what that annoying Hero girl did this time!"
Also I need to write out her shitlist at some point. Because I can't always remember who is on it. If your character has argued with Queenie please tell me here. Obvs she dislikes most hxc leaguers, but some are on it especially. ( Queenie's shitlist ) |

Anyone who sees me trying to do anything RP-related now that my last steamtrek application is submitted should shoot me on site, as I have a paper that is due and I am not allowed to do anything (beyond get RPWriMo tags out) before it is submitted, ok? OK.
BUT BEFORE I SAID THIS, I DID A MEME 8D 8D 8D:
You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute. Since when were they working there? Since when were they dating him/her? Since when?" And you wonder how you could have missed all of that seemingly standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification, because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes. Please copy the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. One word answers seldom help anyone out.

OH HI, PEOPLE I PUT ON THAT WILLIAM FILTER! This is a case of "UM SORRY IF THAT SHIT SURPRISED YOU, I PUT YOUR CHARACTERS IN THERE ON A WHIM THING!!!!" Because um, failboat, usually I'd be e-mailing or IM-ing you guys instead of sinking into a gigantic application/paper black holes due to my obsessive need to Communicate With Everybody About Small Shit, but instead I am making a CDJ post after the fact. I am not even sure what to say about what William needs from x or y quite yet since I am kind of everywhere at once at the moment, so more take this as an apology or what have you because fml I will follow up soon I promise, even if it's to say "DON'T WORRY, WHAT YOUR CHARACTER HAS OFFERED WILL TOTALLY SUFFICE," awfepoijawefopijawef.
Although -- MISS JJ, THIS IS ESPECIALLY FOR YOU: if the shit William said about ~darque and shady people~ sounds off, omg I can has deleting. I was more thinking that surely, surely Hanselle has said something about Space Exploration and weird smugglers or whatever in their sitting around the house and talking about shit they've done in the past kind of thing, which would have William thinking: maybe she met Fancy Space Scientists in Space that dick around with magic whatever for shits and giggles in a Curie-Capet kind of way! (Although idk that he knows about Nora, but that is neither here nor there.) If that is out of line or whatever, let's just pretend that idk William forgot or whatever.
That being said, I am going to go back to trying to write an app that never ends, a paper, and reply to stuff. Guys, if you've sent me things in the past week or so, I promise I will get back to them. In the case of RPWriMo people, I will get you log tags so that you can round out your wordcount by tomorrow. bbl though sobbing. |

More Smallville JSA pictures. They look kind of weird.
I have most of 3 of my apps done. Personalities are turning out to be more of a pain in the dick than I thought they would. I think I'm just going to put "they have no personality" in there and see what happens. |

I have projects due. And finals coming up in a week that I need to study for. And next weekend begins the "OH FUCKING HELL I WILL FOREVERMORE HAVE THE NUTCRACKER OVERTURE STUCK IN MY HEAD UNTIL I DIE OF OLD AGE. I WILL BE ON MY DEATHBED, I WON'T RECOGNIZE MY FAMILY OR FRIENDS, BUT I WILL KNOW THAT RICHARD BURTON WAS BECKET AND PETER O'TOOLE WAS HIS KING, AND I WILL BE SINGING THE BLOODY NUTCRACKER OVERTURE OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL MY HEART GIVES OUT" time of doom.
*deep breath*
Okay, so. The closer it gets to deadlines, and the busier I am, the more I need to be doing multiple things at once, because if I try to concentrate too much on one thing, my head will asplode. And I rather like my head. It's a good shape. I'm quite attached to it, really.
SO. I'm not promising I'll get these done OMG RIGHT AWAY, but I will work on them when I seriously cannot stare at textbooks or notes or studies or (OMG WTF WHY DID MY SCREEN JUST BLINK BLACK ON ITS OWN, THE LITTLE LIGHT WENT OFF, AND THEN JUST AS SUDDENLY IT WAS BACK ON WTF JUST HAPPENED?!) lesson plans or makeshift tests that I have to make up that don't have to do with anything at all but just to prove that I can make shit up, and THEY WILL POSSIBLY GET DONE BEFORE WE ARE ALL OLD AND GRAY. IT IS A VERY LIKELY POSSIBILITY.
(.... sorry, I got a Mountain Dew at work and was surrounded by hyper excited cheerful kids and I think some of that rubbed off on me)
ANYWAY. THE POINT.
I is thief. Or copier. Or something. Whatever. Pick a pairing! I have to play at least one of the characters. I'd prefer it if it's characters who actually interact unless you just want something that's absolute and total complete crack (or unless you want Guy with one of your girls). Unless you specify, I'll assume that couples are shippy, friends are friendly, family members are family-ly, Alice/Dorcas is Hot Sexy Crack, etc.
Prompts:
1. fa la la la la
2. of brightly-colored baubles
3. not your average Douglas Fir
4. "You can't catch me..." | Teddy/Jessie
5. chestnuts on an open fire
6. thrice as nice
7. first snow | Doyle/Kamal
8. on the rooftop | Marly & Alex
9. horseless carriages will have to do
10. far too early
11. take your pick
12. surprises | Lexi/Paul
13. hollow

Project: Do Apps Over Thanksgiving Break is turning out to be a total bust (I already have ideas for a second Dreadcharacter, this is bad). Also, I do not have enough plot. steamtrek and fleets people who want to hash anything out, drop me a line here, and I will creep on your concepts and get back to you asap! :>
Also, regarding my schedule: I am starting a daily dose of Ambien at 11:00 p.m. CST, so I will be out of commission from that point every night for the foreseeable future. However, I shall endeavor to be around more during the day, and I am always reachable by e-mail!
P.S. I promise to get back to each and every one of you telling you why your characters are awesome. It shall be my Thanksgiving present to RPdom. |

stethoscopic has made me excited (!!!) about RPing in an Anticipating of Plans type of way, which is new given that all my Neo plots are making me excited in a Tinged With Melancholia type of way -- it's rather exhilarating to fall into a new world tits over heels and exercising new muscles in the application process. After a break to respond to scenes and the like (HI chthonian AND faeriexlights, HERE'S LOOKING AT YOU), stupa shall be wrested into submission with wicked amounts of enthusiasm. Hello, Classical Archaeology, and thank you for finally being somewhat useful.
In other news, I made a delicious pumpkin cheesecake that is actually a fat lot better for you (HAR HAR) than usual recipes. It is basically like the baking gods said hi, Allison, you can make decent things for the holiday season. OM NOM NOM. |
