My life, in summary that ended up much longer than a summary should be:

Had Lizu over last week! This was mostly so that she could play twewy really really really fast. It was much fun, though she has complained that now that she has her own file and copy, it's much harder due to lack of my level grinding and epic pins. Also, a ficsplosion has occurred, though I have tried to make Joshua shut up when I'm doing homework. Will probably post some of this... later.

My previous ipod (named Axel, as it was red) broke basic laws of physics and disappeared from my desk. So he has been replaced by a tiny tiny grey nano named Casull. It was a $150 that I wasn't particularly eager to drop, but I was going through music withdrawal and it was ugly, as music keeps me from crawling out of my skin or driving pencils into my ears.

So I had advising this week. Was a bit nervewracking going in - meeting new people is always stressful, and it's worse when it's people who have influence on my academic career. And in a semester when I've been struggling with some of my required classes....

Though, I think it went well, over all. I flailed a bit and spouted this big "so yeah I was LA and I passed classes mostly by showing up so studying is new" explanation, explained why I switched majors (which is an explanation I'm getting tired of making, but nothing to be done I suppose). Adviser seems to be a nice enough lady, said that from my grades I'm clearly intelligent enough to pull this off. Which was good to hear.

I had a fight with an now ex-friend on Wednesday. I've already ranted about K many times to most of you, and half of you have already heard the account of the fight. In short - she'd gone all stupid over a prof she had, and ended up sort of dating him, and then was shocked and outraged when the department found out and stomped all over it, and then started complaining that the department was trying to get rid of her. I'd put up with this bullshit for months, mostly keeping my peace, but my sympathy ran out about three months ago, and I've stopped being so quietly disapproving and more vocal.

Apparently not agreeing with every fucking thing that comes out of her mouth is grounds for shunning. On Wednesday, she had apparently forgiven me, but we ended up on that prof again, and I said that I didn't trust her opinion on anything concerning him - at which point she said, "Well I'm done here and I've suddenly remembered why I wasn't speaking to you." Aaaaand flounce.

I cried for a bit, and then ranted at Lizu, who reminded me that I'm fucking brilliant and there is no need to put up with that bullshit. She's not worth it, she's poison, and I have cried over her for the last fucking time. I loved her a bit, and thought there was something worth loving, and I mourn the loss of that, the loss of the times we had that were good, but -

-I'm relieved, mostly, and a bit pissed (if you can't tell). Really, I'm glad it's over.

I have a calc test next week. I think I'm mostly prepared. Just a few subjects I need extra practice on.


And I will post fic later. The great thing about twewy is there is so much room for headcanon.

So I colored a thing

Line art belongs to Hirano, coloring is mine.

I was struck with the urge to color Alucard's hat and do it all in noir lighting and shit. So I printed off a bit of a page and colored it fairly quickly, in the span of about four hours (rather than my normal time of a couple of days to a week). Though it is a fairly simple construction. Turned out fairly well, though I swore at the skin tone for about an hour and eventually just smeared black all over it.

The glasses turned out the best, I think.
