Dreams and Swords

If I am a very good girl, and I play Reflector in at least a scene a week... If we pull off Double Negative successfully... If I actually have the bloody time...

I am going to app Motormaster on 2K5.

This is, of course, contingent on sticking with the game and having the time to maintain an NFC. Plans may change.

I may descend into severe depression as I contemplate graduating.

Family medical emergency.

Driving to Tennessee. Will be sketchy on being on.

Luna, can you pass it onto the 2K5 CharStaff that I'm unexpectedly needing to go someplace and can't get to Reflector this week?

This whole last week has been ugly for me. My temper has gotten very frayed, I've noticed, along with a basic disinterest in getting out of bed once I get in. I skipped all of my classes last Thursday and Friday. Managed to force myself to get my paper written, but it was a great labor.

I think part of the problem is that I'm fighting off some sort of sinus infection now that the weather's turned. Being sick never helps with being a pleasant person.

Sometimes it feels like I should drive nails under my skull to make it stop hurting.

I think I'm going to drop Silverbolt on 2K5 tomorrow. There's no point in me keeping him, since I don't have the time or energy to log him on and actually invest myself in that game.

The Olympics remind me of why I like TF2K5.

Okay, so does Fireflight. Because their Fireflight is made of win.

[OOC-Aerialbots] Silverbolt says, "Man, if someone suggested Silverbolt do an exhibition match with Motormaster, there would be running and hiding."
[OOC-Aerialbots] Fireflight would fight for you, at this rate! :D
[OOC-Aerialbots] Silverbolt snickers. "Oh la! I must summon my champion to preserve my honor against your foul words, Motormaster!"

I haven't been eating a lot lately. It's not that I'm not hungry, but nothing really appeals to me around here. It's all the same bland food I've had for months now. It's dull, uninteresting, and some of it outright turns my stomach at the thought of eating it. So I have small lunches and dinners, enough to keep me fueled but not enough to fill me.

I don't know if I should be worried or not, but I should definitely do something about it. I just don't know what. There's literally nothing I can think of that I want to eat. There's not a lot of stuff that I feel like I will eat anyway if it's set in front of me.

On another note, I probably won't be roleplaying on Transformers: 2005 until early April. March is a busy, busy month for me with tests and projects, but I may pop on for OOC talk.

[O-Decepticon] Spraypaint is Justice Reflector lays claim to Soundwave's job should that life end suddenly.
[O-Decepticon] Soundwave says, "I think the tapes might have trouble fitting inside you."
[O-Decepticon] Spraypaint is Justice Reflector says, "We can farm them out to Scourge. Scourge is good with kids."
[O-Decepticon] Soundwave cries at the thought.
[O-Decepticon] Shockwave gets flashbacks to the time when Scourge taught the nine-year-old girls 'the proper way of painting your nails.' Shudders.

Things accomplished this weekend:
- Art: Posted a new picture
- TF2K5: Blitzwing and Catechism were awkward at each other. Apparently several people found this fascinating and sat ooc to watch us do that. Also, Reflector got a fun new assignment.
- Nexus: Jetstorm is no longer catatonic. Elita-1 knows something is going down with Roddy.
- Writing: Started on a Seven Virtues fic.
- Shopping: Got some new DVDs from the Discovery Channel store, and found Titanium Thundercracker and BW X Megatron while I was picking up groceries.
- Other: Took lots of new G1 screencaps for use with making icons. Watched some MSTings. Keep thinking I should set up a MSTing theater seats for Transformers. (I don't think I'm quite up to doing the "MSTing of DragonballZ" for Transformers, though.)

I'm hoping to finish at least one fic in the near future, and hopefully the Astrotrain fic, oh, eventually... Need to install all of my new stuff for D|S, then going to work on a pic of Stuart Smith. I'm quite happy with how the base character came out, and am hoping that I can get Skylar and Theresa to look as good. (And, of course, I will get Rebecca done, too. There is no other possibility.)

I have no bloody idea what to do with Blitzwing on TF2K5 these days. It's kind of frustrating - Blitzwing just doesn't fit with me right now. He's way off-kilter from canon Blitzwing, and I can hardly write him at all outside of the MUSH. It's really, really irritating.

Wasted the weekend in regards to schoolwork, as I did absolutely nothing for a paper I have due next Monday, nor did I start reading that book I need to cover for History class. Lots of fun there, given that I have a test in that class next Friday. Meffle.

Need to update my calendar with all the school stuff going on in November and December, so I don't get surprised about that.

Wherein Reflector uses his awesome powers of lying and misdirection to mess with Foxfire's head.

( I've got cat class and I've got cat style. )

So, since Calyhex talked me into giving Transformers: Universe a spin, and I've had a COBRA chick floating around in my head since I first saw an episode of Sigma Six, I'm combining the two projects. (I'll also be snagging Reflector over there. Because it's Reflector. Other possible characters await me actually playing the game and/or luring Puck over with Tank.)

However, I want to start Judith at the beginning of her life-cycle. So she starts out as a Cobra Officer, possibly a Crimson Guard if I'm feeling especially twinky. She'll work her way up to the cyborging thing.

Now, even at the best of times, I don't have that much of a characterization grip on her when she's cyborged up and calling herself Copperhead Crimson Sidewinder. Since I'm starting way back before that, when she's an up-and-coming Cobra officer with a penchant for collecting Care Bears, and who is only doing this Cobra thing part-time while she also goes to college...

ETA: Judith could also wind up as my Terran on 2k5, just replacing Cobra with EDC.

Well, I need to figure out how she works. So, doing a twenty-eights meme with her.

Southern pop quiz time!

TF2K5ers: Due to the current college time-crunch and my general lack of fun with the character, I'll probably give up Blitzwing sometime next week.

Title: Acherontia atropos (1/3)
Day/Theme: Sept. 22 'between Cinderella or Kafka's Cockroach'
Series: G1 Transformers
Characters: Constructicons, femme
Rating: PG
Summary: AU. A femme comes to the Constructicons, looking to hire them for a rebuild.

A/N: This ficlet is predicated on the fan-theory that femmes are living software patches for their boyfriends. Personally, it's a theory I detest, but it makes the fic work.
