I WAS GONNA RANT but then!!!1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjCBriLns_4&feature=related

Aaaah I love the full version of this song. The English Ops aren't as good as the older ones or their japanese counterparts (imo) but this one is GETTING UP THERE. It's really cute :(

As are Dawn and Ash. I really love their cheesy need to HIGH-FIVE every time they do something together.

.......STUPID RANT about non-Pokemon or puppy related things to come eventually.

eta Man such little things in Pokemon make me happy.

~PENGUIN VS STAG BEETLE!! Seriously where else will you see this.

~Ash and Dawn are like ".....OKAY SURE LET'S BATTLE 8)" oh, poor random characters of the day, bargaining with a battle is like like saying "Okay, you can have our melons if you eat this delicious cake we are setting in front of you." in their minds.

~I love how it's such a casual thing that random passerbys are just like "Ooooh look, people are battling :D" and BIG EXPLOSIONS are totally acceptable.

~I love how heracross catches beautifly when it's blasted out of the air with its horn. TEEMWURK

~OVERKILL \o/ Why do you need to summon a giant whirlpool and electrocute them. Really now.

ffff I've only seen a crappy quality version of the dub of the movie :( Need to find a better one or wait til the japanese sub comes out (ALSO I LOVE HOW QUICKLY POKEMON MOVIES GET DUBBED NOW. It -just- premiered in Japan in July. GJ, PUSA.)

So I was going to do a really meaningful well thought out post the other day, but then Pokemon happened and I kinda haven't stopped spazzing about it.

SO

AMAZING

YOU

GUYS.

And deserves its own ranting post later.

Not to mention the dub of the second half of the Full Battle premiered today \o/ GOOD TIMES. I've done nothing but RP and draw after work for the last couple days, And with Thanksgiving just around the corner it is HECTIC AS HELL trying to organize all the dogs who are sleeping over for the weekend.

ONE THE NOTE of pretending to have a social life: Going to get my hair done and attempt to spend the evening chilling with Red \o/ We'll see how that goes. Though really I just want to come home early and draw more Pokemon. lolo priorities.

ALSO DON'T FORGET sign up for a christmas card 8|b

Me: Okay so I'm a little sick, nothing I can't handle! Just have to take it easy and concentrate--!
St. Bernard: Hey you're gonna be my BFF today 8)
Me: . . .why is there a St. Benard here
St. Bernard: [SITS ON YOU]
Me: aaaaaaaaaugh body aches pain head
St. Bernard: [droooooooools]
Boxer: !!!! I'll help you person!1
Me: wat
Boxer: [Stands on your shoulders 8|a]
Me: .........okay yah i'll go home

Wugh, still sick. Boss drove me home and I slept all day and am feeling better aside from being a little feverish now. Got some antibiotics from the doctor, though I'm a little annoyed that it just took them five minutes to say "Hmmm, you have a slight fever and congestion :|a HERE ARE SOME MEDS that'll be $85 bucks." ffft. I could have told them that! But whatever hopefully it'll wash over tonight and I go back to work without everyone lysoling after me. Thanks for the well wishes too guys T_Tb I HAVE THERAFLU TEA AND RITZ CRACKERS all is right in the world somewhat.

Baaaaaaaw sick, but hopefully not with the flu. Throat is swollen and can barely talk and ( tmi i guess ) and my head is all whooosh and congested, but no fever or body aches thankfully. Feeling really sluggish and heavy but compared to the real flu this is a blessiiiing.

And my lip is puffy and swollen and I can only guess it was from the pineapple last night which makes NO SENSE as I ate pineapple a few weeks ago and was just fine 8|;; maybe it wasn't washed properly idk

Still going to work due to it being rude to call out two hours beforehand, plus boss is off today so it was only going to be me and new girl running the upstairs and can't really back off on that. At least I don't need to talk to play with and feed the dogs orz

oh wells TIME TO GO POP SOME MEDS 8|b

Gosh, Tani, how did you spend your nothing-to-do weekend? I'm sure you were very, very productive, right?

Nope, I spent the last 48 hours gleeing over and rping a lawyer and ten year old girl surviving a zombie home-coming dance apocalypse 8Db Except for the lawyer not surviving but whatever.

.............yeah so I can never fully quit RP like ever :|a OH WELL, TO WORK I GO. Obligatory Sabra La Tau link.

when I post irrationally angry entries about the weather!1

Sob Atlanta I know it's October but why is the low 30 something and it's only 47 degrees out right now.

I live in the south because it's supposed to be WARM...ISH.

Sobbb, any tips on keeping a small outside studio apartment nice and comfy and insulated without spiking my gas bill or risking an electric heater would be appreciated T^Tb

Me: Gosh now that I have money, I should be responsible and go get my flu shot at the many available locations this year!
Kroger: sry we're out and not doing any more!
Walgreens: Yeeeeah we stopped doing them yesterday :|a
Publix: We do them!!1. . .but we ran out last week and aren't sure when we're getting more \o/ Try Kroger and Walgreens or CVS!
CVS: wut we don't do them at all 8U
GSU Health Clinic: lolo even though your ID is valid you have to be a CURRENT student to get a vaccine here :Db
Me:.......................orz

gdit I JUST DON'T WANT TO GET SICK. Soooob.

It's only 9ish but I wanna crawl into my bed and sleeeeeep orz What happened to the days of staying up til 5am and still being fully conscious, man.

Need to put up the poke-arts collection post and try to draw!1 for other stuff. Don't want to waste night!

In work news. . .uh. Idek. I've been working upstairs more and am more comfortable talking to the customers and still get to roll around with puppies so that's all good. Also, I look horribly derpy in the staff picture augh my forehead augh my hair!11 Otherwise, my life is domestic and boring at the moment \o/ I need to get up and finally get a flu shot tomorrow, too.

In vaguely interesting news, I am kind of addicted to Beyonce's Sweet Dreams song and video :|aaaaa Idk why. It makes me want to draw a bunch of stylish-y things. Also look at her her thighs look like a BARBIE DOLL'S what

What. What has Disney done. w-whyyyy

HELLO FLIST

For some reason I am craving (is that even the right word) really awesome, well animated GET UP AND SHOUT FFFFF THAT IS SO AWESOME feel-good type AMVs 8|a Fight scenes are a plus too. It doesn't matter what the canon/fandom is, if you can watch it over and over again and STILL think it's awesome? Please link me :(b

So for like the last hour I've been watching Elemental Masters (Avatar and NSYNC), Soul Groove (Soul Eater), That one Death Note/Teenagers amv that never stops being funny, and random Pokemon ones. fffff nostalgia bomb

But yes 8|a SUGGEST THINGS IF YOU FEEL SO INCLINED.

Also man while I'm thinking about it, anyone have a link to that old Phoenix Wright/Encore AMV? I MISS THAT :'(

MY LIFE RIGHT NOW \o/ Though technically drawing should be less than that but that's how much of a priority it NEEDS TO BE >8|! And pretendy funtimes should be less but. Shhhh. Other should probably revolve around Work since that's mostly sleeping and eating so I can. . .work. Whup.

In other news, I woke up at the crack of dawn today to start driving lessons only to figure out two hours later that I start them next Tuesday. Derp. At least I got another nap in before I have to leave.

Also, Apollo Get over in Sabra La Tau \o\ HIS NICKNAME IS BADGER. Ffffff so cute I love him and Almaz already. I need to buy a new DS next paycheck so I can properly canon review though. Don't have time to sit through so many Youtube clips :|a

WAY BELATED AWA/ADVENTURES IN GENERAL POST for whoever cares \o/ Many antics were had and it's probably the most fun I've had at a con ever. Image heavyish near the end due to art stuffs.

( Wednesday/Thursday!1 )

( FRIDAY/MELTING POT )

( THE REST OF THE CON/MOSTLY ARTIST ALLEY THINGS )
( Aaand Artist Alley arts. IMAGE HEAVY. )

Sunday everyone said their goodbyes and we ate at Steak and Shake and we were all v. sad :'( Me and Excel went home and crashed and Excel got sick and I got soaked at work. F-fail final day together. Though I did show her the wonders of FOOD DELIVERY and we had much sushi and Mexican (eeeee I ate raw eel 8|;; EXPERIENCE) We woke up at like 3am and took a cab to an airport and off she went baaaaw |'(

And then I slept like 10-12 hours the next day. \o/ Aside from the commission the only stuff I ended up buying was a bunch of weeaboo candy, a $30 Pokemon sleeping bag (...don't judge me), some super derpy Pokemon and Wolf bookmarks, and a copy of Box's "Widgets" comic (GO READ IT it is seriously adorkable).

OVERALL STILL, SO MUCH FUN and miss seeing everyone so much. Hopefully next year will be just as awesome and I'll be better prepared for the alley \o\ /o/

GIP THOUGH THIS ICON DOESN'T EXPRESS MY JOY, JUST FOR MY ADORATION OF KOTONE (HG/SS NEW GIRL LEAD DEBUTED IN THE ANIME A WHILE BACK)

POKEMON IS STILL MY FAVORITE

FOREVER

CARRY ON

i am still spazzing so hard ommmmmmmmmmmmmmgggggggggggggg

Man I have no icon to really express the general |D feeling I've been...feeling all day and after the con. So so happy.

Today was my birthday! Am 24 now o/ But it's just a normal day for me--until boss and coworkers get me a HUGE ASS DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CAKE and cupcakes. S-so much sugar, I need to buy ice cream to go with it. Also there were sooooo many adorable dogs today, including Grayson and Booker, a duo of giant Wiemeranars still can't spell that. So I was just like 8DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD all day.

Also thanks for all the well wishes for my family! Aunt and cousin are A-Ok, still no word on my little sister and brother tho. Jokingly, we figure if something bad had happened one or the other would call us to mooch off us since that's usually the only time we have phone contact. But seriously, I hope and think they're okay. Me and my family are blessed to the umpteenth power compared to all the folks losing homes/property damage/all the horrible stories of people drowning /)_(\

I swear a real con report will come...soonish. I was actually feeling some major post-con blues, haha. I really enjoy working with the dogs and coming home to solitude, but man, I forget how much fun just lounging around with good friends can be.

Anyway, still need to draw some more stuff. Hopefully next weekend I can start trying to put together a website and get back to working on Old Mother Goose and some other stories. I want to create a really stupid badass shounen now fffff Also should be able to jump back into Camp and Pokedressing. Wow I finally actually miss rping there :|a

TO DRAW-
Lots of Disgaea stuff
Stuff for AWA dudes
Finish Boss's birthday pic!1
Start Pokemon exchange thing
Whatever else idek

\o/!

So while I'm off having fun at the con, apparently Austell is underwater. AKA where my aunt and cousin and little sister and brother live/where I lived -3 months ago-.

No one's heard from the latter, but my other aunt says Tammy (^aunt) and her daughter are safe. Not currently picking up the phone, but the downstairs flooded. I mean, it ALWAYS floods but apparently it came up near the 2nd level this time.

Am just all \o\ adkflafjs /o/! This is what Six Flags currently looks like, or did earlier. Given all the sunshine today maybe waters receded some? But it's going to storm again this weekend aaaugh. I don't think it'll get any worse but still, scary. And gdit little sister call us :[

Just got back yesterday \o/! It was MUCH FUN and MANY PEOPLE WERE MET AND THINGS WERE DRAWN and FOOD WAS EATEN and and just...\o/!!!!1

More later when I am less tired and have worked why didn't i take monday off!1

Also Excel is teaching me the wonders of photoshop yaaaay. MY TABLET PEN IS ACTUALLY USEFUL NOW amazing.

( this is basically the face I've been making all day )

Ffff so sleepy need to organize the poke-art exchange stuff ugh. TONIGHT, AM GETTING FULL 8 HOURS. after coloring. petty bawwww

So so so so tireeed. Between drawing and errands an working with no days off the last 3 weeks I think my body is this close to just shutting down and sleeping for an entire day orz Today just a 5 1/2 day at least but have 10am 8 hour shift tomorrow. y-yaaaaay

AWA IS NEXT THURSDAY THO I am excited!1 I have a hella bunch of stickers done, not sure if they'll actually sell but whatever I TRIED. Stilll have to color a lot of stuff and figure out how to get posters printed tho. Whatever i don't finish by tuesday will just stay unfinished gosh darnit.

Am on a reeeally tighter budget too. Need money for paying rent/bills as priority orz I think I'll be fine as long as like. The dealer's room doesn't magically have every Pokemon toy I have ever longed for ever. watch it be true. Otherwise will restrict spending to food and cabs and maybe nab a couple commissions. Still have to pay for phone and hair bill first tho (...hair bill. by which i mean getting my hair done so I don't look like a complete bum.)

uuuuuh what else idek. so tempted to crawl back into bed but need to clean the apartment and then color more wheeee

AM SLEEPING REALLY. But but!!

CHAMPION RED ENCOUNTER MUSIC from HeartGold/Soul Silver. You know, when you face Red at Mt. Silver for an ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN OF DESTINY aaaaaah that should not get me as pumped up and nostalgic as I am right nowaldkfda;f


Aaaaah I told myself I'd stay away from HG/SS spoilers BUT THE NEW MUSIC IS SO AWESOME AND THE CHARACTER REDESIGNS ARE SO AWESOME. YOU GUYS. YOU GUYS!!!!1 Hahahah man Gary Green looks so different. LOOKIN' KIND OF PROFESSIONAL THERE, RIVAL. Also my dream comes true as your Pokemon can follow you around out of their Pokeballs GUYS I'LL FINALLY HAVE A GRUMPY RILEY RAICHU SHADOWING MY CHARACTER \o\ /o/!! also pics from Veekun.com

Okay I should. Probably. Try to sleep for work omgggggg must not cave and get inferior rom full of moonspeak /)_(\ HURRY UP, APRIL.

/end 3am spazzing about pocket monsters

It is taking like almost every ounce of will power in my body not to DEVOUR everything in my fridge. I already ate a frozen pizza and a fruit-pop, and I had Chik Fil A nuggets and eggs for breakfast. Don't need anything else!! But for the last few days I have just been HUNGRY HUNGRY MUST EAT ALL 8E and then pass out promptly. Ffff.

Especially shouldn't be eating out right now since AWA is NEXT WEEK \o/!! And I will frolic (read: bum around) with Excel and some other RP buddies and it will be grand.

STILL have to finish a lot of art stuff. I've been stressing about art a lot lately but that's a whooole 'nother rant. If I can make at least $50 at the con I'll be happy--that's about half the price of the table and will be some good cab money. I just. Need to color the stuff I have and draw more and figure out how to make posters and faldkfsf \o\ /o/ Sigh.

In other news work remains awesome. Baaaaby cavalier threw itself in my face, which was adorable yet painful at once.
