Support your local anime shelter and adopt a plotbunny

...cuz that would get them away from me. GAH. This morning I had the Trigun "Eden" AMV on (I'm compiling a list of The Best Trigun AMVs in Jainaland) and as I watched the scenes with the brothers interacting (read: fighting most angstily) I thought "Gee, what if Vash never got up the balls to stand up to/run away from Knives?...OHSHIT PLOTBUNNY ARGH IT'S BITING ME IT'S BIIIIITING ME!"

So yeah. Like Athena, it sprung from my brain fully formed, for the most part. Major plot points, character roles, hell, even a customized governmental system. (Okay, credit for that goes to [livejournal.com profile] missandrony, because she takes intellektual classes and I learn how to fart around in Photoshop.) And...fuck! Like I need more stuff to write when I have time again! I still plan to finish the WIPs I have before going all out on this one, but yeesh. The bunnies, they are like a damn monkey paw.

In non-ficly news, I am officially ready to graduate with a bachelor of fine arts in creative writing as my thesis has been accepted! Wendell said it rox0rs only without the l33t speak because he's, like, old (but also excessively cool in his own way). This means I am more qualified to judge fanfiction than the rest of you bitches!* It's slightly more official than my bachelor of technology degree since I've actually completed all the course requirements. Still working on the last of the VCT ones.

Random thought. You know how history supposedly moves in a cycle? Well, it must be true, because I dumped that psychotic ass Evil Joe four years ago and I am still being accused of being elitist! Some things never change, I guess.

Saturday is Animarathon. If anyone in the NW Ohio/Michigan area would like to attend a 14 hour `thon complete with dealer's room, video contests, and random other shit, stop on by. I think this year is slightly less well-planned than last year, but I am a bad officer and awash with not caring. We did get an e-mail from a VA's agent asking if we wanted him to include us on his Steamboy press tour, but she must be new at this because she expected a university to have money in the budget for such a thing less than two weaks before the event. Shyeah right. I barely had enough money in the budget for the Alphonse Elric figure we're giving away as a raffle prize and I guaran-damn-tee that it'll be more popular.

I am going to be so in need of drunkenness by the time it's all over. [livejournal.com profile] wreakerofhavoc, lend me your spirit(s)!

Intellecutal my ass. I have to take classes about how BUREAUCRACY is apparently better than God, alcohol, sex, and having sex with God while drunk. So yes, I'm happy all that knowledge went to some real use.

Intellecutal my ass.

Apparently.

HEY! Arguing with Shadsie lowered my IQ a few points. Thanks to her, I totally just forgot what the difference between a functional and a divisional organization is!

[identity profile] jaina.livejournal.com 2005-03-31 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
I never knew the difference. Does that make me dumber or just more efficient?

[identity profile] missandrony.livejournal.com 2005-03-31 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
More efficient, I'd wager, unless learning about Weick's principles of sensemaking and their application to communication in bureaucratic settings makes you all hot and juicy.

Do you sleep through sex, too? Because really, I don't know how hearing about the ins and outs of ideal hierarchal organizations couldn't get your pussy roaring like an engine!

So, those 4 years finally paid off, no?

My eight years say "pish" to your five, but my shiny-piece-of-paper-what-says-I'm-smart waves hi to yours.

Woot for institutionally endorsed pretention!

[identity profile] jaina.livejournal.com 2005-03-31 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
Damn, girl. Full time?

[identity profile] andmydog.livejournal.com 2005-03-31 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
Five of them, less a quarter of booted-ness, yeah. I just took a bit of a vacation after I graduated, but before the school told me they didn't believe me and I had to take more classes. I kill.

[identity profile] divinya9.livejournal.com 2005-03-31 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
Heh... Then it's damn well deserved, isn't it?

About the thesis: AWESOME! I know how much work that must've been! Much congradulations are in order. I reccomend BEER.

About the animarathon: AWESOME! I'm sad I'm no longer in the area, even if I wouldn't be able to go.

Yay for degrees. And theses. (Not that I had to do one, but never mind.) I wish you success.

[identity profile] jaina.livejournal.com 2005-03-31 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks!

Congratulations on the thesis! You should go out and treat yourself to a nice chocolate milkshake...or whatever your idea of reward food is XD

Oh the day of being finished with the thesis. *hands Jaina bottle of good tequila* The secret is don't eat anything before imbibing. It just dilutes the alkeehol.

Congrats!

Nothin' quite like being done with your thesis. :D Yay for you!

Congratulations! (and the bunny is cool, too.)
