This world may be ugly

Finally finished my drabbles!

Actually I finished them on Saturday during the epic long train journey, but I haven't had internet on the laptop to be able to post them :(

Anyway. For my records / anyone who's interested:

NEVILLE: first frog club meeting, first choc frog card, first courageous moment

BRYONY: first time she was selfless, first kiss
EMILY: first time she swore, first spell
JOSH: first time he was turned down, first time at Rhys's
SUSAN: first kiss

In other news, I may drop Madoc. Idk yet, but I really can't find his voice any more and I'm bogged down with too many characters now.

Is there anyone applying at bw_mods who is apping a halfblood girl (or considering apping a halfblood girl) who would like to have some plot with me? *Preferably Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff.

If so, I'd like to talk! Please to be inquiring here.

I DISLIKE PCS.
Also microsoft, but if anyone can answer wtf is going on, i will love you.

I have 1/2 way finished (or more than?) gift "shopping" for my characters, just BNW and 91. Well, I found links, I need to make pretty pictures out of them. Now I have two apps to do, and a final exam either.

humdedum!

now to finish some neosnaps!

My application for Edward was finally accepted at bw_mods!

( Look! )

This is the best day ever. I had to do a bunch of edits, but in the end it was worth it and I think he's a much stronger character now.

ALSO please note what he is involved in. AND THE SPARKLES.

Oh, mixed metaphors in textbooks. "This is another example of the commissioner/taxpayer polka where they change positions depending upon who is playing goose and who gander."

Brain is full and to-do list is overloaded.

Iconwise, I've finished up icons from Make It or Break It episode 2, but I'm not posting them until I've also iconned episodes 3, 4, & 5. However, I'm using Josie Loren as a pb for a character I'm apping, PLUS I need the rest of the Nico Tortorella icons from episode 3 done for Nate, so I'm trying to push forward on these quickly. Also, still working on iconning HBP for everyone not Draco, AND I'm going to finish iconning Behind the Magic for the same.

I'm mid-app for Liliana (for Mulligan), and knowing adds are done on Saturday means I don't HAVE to burn through it right this second. She's bubbling away in the back of my mind and I have a fairly solid view of her. Knowing her PB really helps in this case, because Josie Loren's expression are soooo fluid. So it's obvious that Lili wears her emotions right there in full view no matter what she's thinking or feeling. No filter between thought and face.

In PSL ramblings, Neville's very o.O about life right now, and really, that's all he can say, although flushing NEON seems to go with the expression. And perhaps a huuuuge grin. And the PSL!Draco has just made it over one massive hurdle only to slam right into the next one without managing anything like a graceful leap. I like him for the fact that he's old enough (21) that he's figured out who he is in private, but has yet to let the public discover him. He changes personality depending on where he is, and that's a factor that has leaked into Mulligan!Draco as well, although it's still very undefined there.

Oh, Mulligan, how do I adore thee? I'm having a wonderful time there. Nate's alternating between bubbly and upset about Colin's death and how hurt all of his friends are. He's thinking he kind of needs to meet some nice bent guys and stop crushing on the OMFGADORABLE (but straight) Gryffindor blokes. Which doesn't actually stop him from doing so. He's like a puppy. If he had a tail, he'd wag it.

Then there is Draco, who I just... gods, I adore him in ways like I adore Marcus. Or Adrian. I love me my complicated Slytherin blokes, I guess, who I have to come up with the reasoning why they did things and figure out their psychology. And Draco's best fun is that HE is trying to figure himself out, and he has no idea who he is. I just keep putting him in situations that he detests and he has a lovely time getting himself out of them. Currently he is BEYOND peeved at me, between enforced outings with Muggleborn girls, and an upcoming trip to Azkaban. I chortle with delight.

And WTWB. Mmmm. *purrs delightedly* The voices are stirring again, and I'm in bliss over this because I have missed them so very much. I have to figure out some things for Marcus that are going on over the break, and he has to pull off a happy Christmas for himself, Ro, and Mabel. It will involve several things that are knitted because he has had to relieve stress somehow... work only gets him so far. Pansy has been worrying and snapping at everyone and will continue to do so until Neville (THAT IDIOT) returns from Lancaster without getting his arse killed. Then he can bloody well have his school/orphanage BACK and she'll go home and ignore him for being an idiot right up until she invites him and the children over for Christmas. And gives him decent boots since his fell apart months ago, and he's still wearing them. Someday Pansy and Neville will figure out what's going on and I swear, neither of them is going to actually believe it. Lavender, of course, is the most settled of my characters there. She has Bill, she has MATE, what else does she need?

Enough rambling, and back to work for me. Suffice to say, gaming is glee, and y'all are wishing I'd been less long-winded.

So, this is super embarrassing, but I'm preserving it for my own records. And for wow, idiot, sympathy.

My friend Gina came up here tonight. We started at about 9 o'clock at the local bar. Dollar rum and cokes started at ten, so I had an amaretto sour to start off. Then Gina's mom texted us from another bar saying to come see her, she'd buy us a drink. We went, except Gina's mom, her friend, and a girl I went to high school with were all there. They ALL bought be drinks, so I had two huge shot-things, and a Mike's Hard Cranberry.

We left that bar and went back to the one that we started at and I started with a double rum and coke. Then a whiskey sour. Then two more rum and cokes. I was drinking basically the same as Gina and DAMN, has that girl got a liver on her. She was okay and I was drunk. So we left the bar, and her parents own a pizza place, so we decided to go there to get something to eat. We got there, I was okay. I was like, totally drunk, but okay. It was about 11 by then, so I'd drunk all of that in like, two hours, maybe a bit more.

Then I went out for a cigarette and sat down along the wall of the pizza place. Then I decided to lay down and had extreme difficulty getting up. I ate one french fry and ran for the bathroom. I spent about an hour in there, first throwing up, then just lying there, contemplating how one stands when one is that miserably wasted. Finally, Gina came in, and her dad helped me get up. She drove me home (I think she'd sobered up some by then), and when I got home, she put me on the couch in our living room and called for my mom.

Then my poor, martyr of a mother held my hair back as I vomited, shook like a leaf for about an hour, and insisted my dad call the hospital to make sure I wasn't dying of alcohol poisoning (I wasn't). I probably spent an hour and a half at least with my eyes closed but unable to pass out, from lying down on the pizza place's bathroom floor till an hour after I'd gotten home, people were just leading me around. Poor people who give a shit about me. I'm better now, though surprisingly still drunk. (It's 4:30. I stopped drinking at LEAST five hours ago. And I'm still drunk.)

Lessons learned:
1) I really am a lightweight.
2) Pace self. Pace self, Meg. Slow down. Just because you can pound it with the best of them doesn't mean it won't catch up to you.
3) You knew that being sick wasn't cool. Why did you do this to yourself?

ETA: I have sobered up enough that writing this post wasn't overly difficult. But walking is hard.

This song is all I will ever need to be happy.

Corrie post, done! Eric post, done last night! Renee post, coming right up! Lucy, Corrie wrote to Rhiannon. (I should probably do something at 91, too. Marietta post? I shall try, I think. Speaking of 91, Someone wants to use Sean Bean. Sigh. Okay, looking for a different Ludo pb... why are burly blondish men in their late forties so hard to find?)

kat_bus, katie_courtney and venezia (katieandkatieandcarrah)! The Pyes and McCormacks are going to the Quidditch match on Boxing Day, it's a Family Tradition. I don't know if the Kings and Woods have any plans, but Meaghan would've invited them to come too and all sit together. Quidditch families unite, and stuff!

Catriona app to work on, once I have everything else out of the way. So glad I have work off tomorrow. Now remind me, I need to go shopping and do my laundry instead of just hanging out all day!

In other news, this makes me so stinkin' happy.

but also.

WTF Dexter. W. T. F. showtime.

Okay, so I held at bw_mods. Demeter (future Crouch); I'm pretty sure Hannah (parisian)'s interested in SNR, if he's still open when she gets back (or she might hold him while she's away). But! Demeter has a brother, [M] Bletchley (Future grandpapa of Miles), 6th year Slytherin (she's a 6th year Hufflepuff). I don't think I want fraternal twins, but Irish twins (born within a year, so either one bday is sept/oct and the other is july/aug) so there's almost a year separating them, but not a school year.

Hit me up if you're interested in plotting; Hannah and I haven't plotted 100% out, but either going the sweethearts love match or an awk. arranged route.

RN I have held Candice Accola, but it may have to change! I'm open to ideas.


I am working on Tax, I think I have a handle on depreciation! Now onto the rest of the book. lol!

OH also, Lysander had a nightmare last night - or rather, gave me one? IDK how to explain it. Anyway I woke up briefly, all panicky that Cam had broken up with him (idk how exactly but it seemed as if it was in a cruel way) and he really wanted to go sneak into Lorcan's bed to make it ok. He's debating on posting for twin or Cam and asking wtf is up with that. THOUGH my diagnosis is that he's a little more than smitten, because it really hurt and he felt really lost, even though it was just a panicky, mind made break-up.

I'm a few days behind, but eh. I decided to go for it!

Well that was fun. Coffee time again!

blurred_war just opened up for holds and you should all check it out. It's a HP game set during WWII in 1943 and it is going to be amazing.

no, really. AMAZING.

That is all.

K so FIRST THINGS FIRST! I'm trying to make a Christmas CD for Josh. Josh hates Christmas, though, so it needs to be a CD of nontraditional epic. Basically, I need some suggestions of songs to go on it. Awesome covers of Christmas songs, funny Christmas songs, etc. I Want Your Soul for Christmas by the Schoolyard Heroes or Don't Shoot Me Santa by The Killers are both examples of the type of thing I'm looking for. SO, SUGGESTIONS, MY SUPER SMART FRIENDS?

In other news, my Haunted Victorians teacher sent me back my grades. I had an 88 prior to my final paper (DAMN YOU, PARTICIPATION GRADES, DAMN YOU TO HELL!) and a B+ on the final paper, which wasn't enough to bump it up to an A. He sent me back my paper with comments though and told me if I would revise it he would re-grade it and, if it brought my grade up, change it. Now I feel a little bad for making fun of him. ._. BUT YAY! The downside is I have to do HOMEWORK on my BREAK, but it's totally worth it.

man oh man.

I went to a local bar with my parents because they promised me they'd take me out at midnight and the bar gave me a free long island iced tea and then I drank another and an amaretto sour and I am WAY drunker than I intended to be tonight as I have some of my parents' gin. and juice.

Dear omystarling & everyone else who commented on this post,

Tonight was lovely & enlightening, in a good many ways. You're all fantastic, even if you don't think you were being eloquent.

Thank you.
♥, Kassie.

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY corporatecake

There will be a drabble here soon for your bday.

I had forgotten how much I like to look at Hugh Dancy. (How does one forget such a thing?!) Also, this makes me laugh for all his creepster staring at the girl as he's reciting Byron. (I also want to know how on earth I have half that poem memorized because I can't remember when I read it or why I would have memorized it). I blame episodic. :)


I didn't really get a lot of studying done today but I'm not so very worried about tomorrow's test. I'll pass the class no matter what I do, really, so I'm not so very worried about it. I spent most of today looking through pictures of Henry Cavill and Hugh Dancy and Jamie Bell a number of other really pretty boys. Mostly Europeans. Clearly this means that I need to make my way across the Atlantic at some point and marry a man (preferably kilt-wearing) and have lots of pretty babies (and I will then name them things like Jamie and Bailey and other names that rp characters of mine have already held). Except maybe not really. Who knows!

This entry has basically turned into a bunch of rambles but that's okay.

My mommy cried today because she started getting all sad for my leaving. We ended up eating pistachios and watching Winnie the Pooh on tv before eating dinner. Then we watched The Sing-Off which wasn't as good as I had kind of hoped it would be. I do so love a good a capella group. If you want a good one, go for a group like Hyannis Sound! (hello, random plug >_> )

Tomorrow I have sushi for lunch with a friend, then my test at three, then dinner with another friend. I can't really remember the last time I had plans like this, but it's kind of nice. Definitely a change from the norm.

And this has been a lot of rambling. So I shall stop now.
