Just checking in
I'm back.

You know, I never truly realized how many geeky things occur in my day to day life before I didn't have a journal at my disposal to write in. Interesting past few weeks. Mmm.
I come back to find out that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
undone27 has un-friended me, and iharthdarth is over. I think I'll go cry now. So many pretty, shiny, happy, geeky things just exited my life all at once! Why must you try to KILL MY SOUL?! *sob*
So now that I'm depressed AND freezing cold, not to mention seriously hankering to FINALLY watch some Fruits Basket, I shall take my leave of thee. Oh, but first...
I get my internet back and the very first things I do are, in this order: Sign into LJ; Check e-mail accounts; download appropriate program for watching Fruits Basket; e-mail my friends; watch 8 episodes of Fruits Basket; go to bed at 5am. Oh yes, I am pathetic. The ANIME took priority. I wont even embarrass myself by detailing how much I've obsessed over this show the past few weeks. Though, I am pathetic because, ever since Emily first gave me those CDs I've been dying to watch them, and I couldn't. Because, seriously, what the frell is an OGM file, people? I mean, seriously. If I pop in the CD and Windows says "*DING* Yeah, we don't know what the crap you're talking about," then it's obviously inferior to a bloody normal video file (seriously, the alert window really said something along those lines. It was frickin' hilarious)! Especially when it's not solved by looking for a simple codec! Oh no, I TRIED that. Yeah. Downloaded the codec and Windows was like "*DING* Seriously dude, stop screwing with me. Windows thinks you just made this file format up as you went along." So I had to forget about it and wait for almost TWO MONTHS until I got my internet (not to mention some free time) back, just so I could search for and download some random player. Storm something or other. Peh. Too much work. Want to just click and go. Too lazy to click the mouse button once to download a dang program. (Yes, I AM being facetious) Not to mention the wait! Aaah, the HORRIBLE WAIT! I think it goes without saying that I've started from the beginning again. Because, hello, OCD. On the plus side, it's given me extra opportunity to snigger at how screwed up the English dub voices sound compared to the Japanese, giggle knowingly at hints to future episodes, and catch little things I missed before. On the minus side, I STILL haven't seen the whole series. Also, I'm not sure, but I think somewhere around 4 in the morning I somehow started comparing Yuki and Kyo to people I know in real life. I kinda forget who right now, but I'm sure it'll come to me again, because it made waaaaaay too much sense to me before not to rise to the surface again. Oh, and I started sympathizing with Shigure a little too much, too. In fact, I think I decided I AM Shigure. But. ... That's something for another therapy session all together.
Curse those Wrights... they've totally screwed up my life. I had a HEALTHY love of anime before. I followed story lines. I enjoyed characters. I spent a late night or two on the couch. But this is nuts. I freak out every time Naruto comes on TV. No matter what I'm doing, no matter where I am, no matter what's going on around me, I stop what I'm doing and watch. This. Is. Not. Good.
Not to mention the fact that I'm watching Fruits Basket--FRUITS BASKET!!--and ENJOYING IT! Oohh sure, they lure you in with the sci fi and the gobs of comedy, and then once they have you, BAM! THEY SLAM YOU WITH A THOUSAND POUND BRICK OF CHEESY ROMANCE! AUGH! And they make the characters so dang endearing that there's no possible way you can't get sucked in. Oh god *collapses on desk* This is not good! /end random blithering
...Didn't I say something about leaving before?
Oh yeah, and I'm safe, sound, healthy, happy, and all moved in. :) Hope to talk to you all soon!

Let the inner geek shine though! Yesterday I was abnormally busy but I'm online a lot so I'm sure we'll be able to find some time to compare the geekiness of our lives and swap equally geeky stories. Oh, I spoke to Jo yesterday and she's thinking about getting back on lj, but she never got comments so she dosen't particularly see the point in it since she dosen't think anyone is really reading it. (ie: the origional purpose of that lj has now changed)
no subject
Oh, tell Jo to by all means come back. And as for the comments thing... well... you remember the original purpose of that journal?? Let's just say I might have something similar to that myself.... ;)
Ask me about it later and I'll fill you in. =D
no subject
i might have to redownload it sometime. and, you know, not tell anybody.
and i can't watch Naruto. because i don't have freaking cartoon network. very frustrating. i am completely up-to-date with the translated naruto. i've read all 279 translated...um...comics?..dude, what is the word for those things, anyway?..chapters?...chapters works...so yeah, i've read all 279 translated chapters. i'm still waiting for 280 and 281 to be translated. oh...and i also have all 279 downloaded on my lappy. aaaaaaaaaand i just started bittorrenting the first 50 episodes of the series.
gina, i miss you.
nobody here is geeky.
oh yeah...and i have the program and codecs you need to watch OGMs. sorry. i coulda given it to you easy. so could gavin. you should have asked one of us.
no subject
Oh man. We're hopeless! Let's be hopeless together! And curse Gavin to his grave! CURSE YOU GAVIN!!! *uses this icon to accentuate my point* He's gonna send me the series one. by. one. Because I'm making him. *bangs head against desk*
WHY MUST I LOVE NARUTO SOOOOO???
Em, I miss you too.
Same here.
Yeah, I figured either one of you could have, but I also knew I could do it myself. I was actually just being a prima-donna. It wasn't that big of a hassle. I just, you know, didn't want to do it. Because I'm lazy. In reality it took me all of 5 minutes to set up.
Em... Watching Fruits Basket in the wee hours of the morning is dangerous for me. Ask me why later.
And, oddly, the word "wee" makes me think of Billy Boyd.
...
Heehee. Not so oddly, actually.
no subject
or just make gavin burn me cds.
that strategy always seems to work, too.
and...why on earth would watching Furuba in the wee hours of the morning not be dangerous? dude...this one time i was watching the last three episodes around three in the morning and...um...wait, this is public isn't it...yeah...
later!

*reads over your last sentence*
*tweaks out much the way Kyo and Yuki did when Haru proved his hair color was real*
OH DEAR GOD... I DIDN'T MEAN LIKE THAT... I MEAN... IT... I... UH... OH GEEZE!!!!!!
