サラ エッム　[ s a rah e mm]

It's new. Improved. And painful to look at. I wish I didn't love bright colors as much as I do. *guilty pleasure*

Oohhh my. I'm sleepy.

So I've been getting a lot of junk emails lately. I think they're WTF but I'm like, collecting them because they're really interesting to me. They're always sent from these people with made-up sounding names. And including some form of greeting, a link to download something, and then a paragraph made up of wtf.
Some of them have been deleted and some of them are Russian bride things. I don't know WHY.

...But I just found out that my inbox has been deleting them. While I angst in a corner, have one that I got today.

THE USERNAME MEME

*hides*

I don't want to go to my uncle's house today. We don't hit it off well. Urg. Do not want. :[
We signed up for netflix last night. And uhm. They're sending us Equilibrium tomorrow. jklasdf ♥ ♥ that movie is so AMAZING. *fangirl.*

Oh, and I'm cosplaying leekspin!Orihime.
asjkdlfasldk GTG LOL.

01. What types of portable audio devices do you use?
iPod named Anaur. After my Eragon fandragon. LAWL. *nerd.*

02. What format of music do you listen to most often?
Uhhh. .mp3/Whatever ipods convert to.

03. How do you get your electronic music files? (pay service [i.e Napster, iTunes, eMusic, etc.], file sharing, artist/label web sites, etc.)
Recently? Through mp3_share. |3 I'm too paranoid to use file sharing much anymore. That or I'll head over to like. Dogpile's audio section if I'm desperate. LAWL. I do have money for iTunes. But uhh. Lazysauce.

04. What type of headphones do you use?
JVC green marshmallows. They block out noise, which sucks if someone's trying to talk to me, but other than that. ♥ They're awesome.

05. What is currently on your portable music player that you are using? (Post artist, album title, please.)
Strict Machine - Goldfrapp (Album:Black Cherry)

*frolics* I stole this from curucar. FUAH.

"Put your music player on random. List the first ten songs, which character they remind you of, and why. Then tag ten people."

1. Reise, Reise - Rammstein: In honesty I was torn between Aizen and Raito. Of Bleach and then Death Note. I am, decidedly, going with Raito. Of Death Note. "Arise, arise seaman arise/Each does it in his own way/One thrusts the spear into a man/Another then into the fish" reminds me of how, basically, there is self-proclaimed good-and-bad in Raito. The first line makes me think of how elated Raito was when he realized that he would be the "new god of the world." Second line, think of how many crazy criminals have thought the same thing. And have done it in different ways. Or, even simpler, how many religions go about things in a "peaceful" way. And the last two lines just make me think of how Raito (yes I refuse to call him Light. Lawl.) eventually goes crazy enough to not even bother between human emotions. And, in a panic sort of way, kills those who oppose him in theory. (Wow that was a lot of me talking.)

2. You'll Rebel To Anything - MSI: Sasuke of Naruto. Mostly because I loathe that freaking kid. And, seriously: "Boo fuckin hoo you're not the only one whose life's a piece of shit". I mean, honestly. Worse things HAVE happened. And he totally has the wrong attitude about it. And just he grates on my nerves like a fucking CHEESE GRATER. GOD.

3.Tu Es Foutu - In-Grid: I was going to say Tatsuki from Bleach. But instead I'm going to say Soi Fon. Because, come on. Her total devotion to Yoruichi was caused because they were, basically best friends. And then Yoruichi just left her for hundreds of years to wonder and worry. Her obsession with becoming stronger was only spawned because she lost someone she loved. And she doesn't want those hundreds of years to have been in vain. So, I think, "You Promised Me" is a good, fitting song for Soi Fon.

4.Come Together - Joe Cocker (Beatles cover): Axel of Kingdom Hearts. Why? Honestly, I have no real clue. Other than I think Axel is kind of an arrogant bastard. I mean yeah he was all good-two-shoes in KH2, but in CoM he was an assss. And, pretty much, pretended that there were pawns in this non-existant game he was failing at. And I could see him being like "Come together, right now. Over me." Plus he's got ten billion fangirls. I really don't hate him this much. Really. XD

5.Mary Ann - Regina Spektor: Masane Amaha of Witchblade. Because, one minute she's this cute, adorable almost childish grown woman. She's clueless, but manages okay. Then, once her witchblade is activated she pretty much turns polar opposite. In a lust for power and distruction. She's very sadistic in that state. (and hot, lawl.) And, in the song, Mary Ann goes from being seemingly normal to...a murderer.

6.Hate (Really don't like you) - Plain White T's: I'm not going to apply this song to a character in his fandom setting. This song is dedicated to Xigbar from Kingdom Hearts. L.M.F.A.O. We have a love/hate relationship. It's very amusing - ask plumaluna. She'll agree.

7.Summer Shudder - AFI: Vergil of Devil May Cry 3. Vergil has a lot of inner struggles. This song in general reminds me of a lot of inner struggles that sometimes are best voiced in different ways. Ways that don't really mean anything to anyone but the one who wrote them. Vergil isn't as much of a jerk as he makes himself out to be. I've always sort of imagined him as a small child just wanting a normal family setting back. Which is maybe why he looks to obtain his father's power. Maybe that will, in turn, make him feel closer to his father.

8.Beautiful Love - The Afters: Byakuya of Bleach. At first I was going to say Hanatarou, because of how upbeat this song is. But I am going to say Byakuya. It's the feeling of love and separation. How the singer has a lot of bottled up feelings inside, and how he's reaching out to the person he loves. And how they're very far away. Byakuya, as many people in this fandom know, is still troubled over what he's lost. He's selfish about it, but I see him...not knowing how else to deal with it.

9.Tell Me Baby - Red Hot Chili Peppers: Old Gregg from The Mighty Boosh. Okay, so I had no clue. Anddd. Yeah. Old Gregg is fucking amazing, for starters. He's also made up of very many...different things. Like this song. This song is made up of wtf and love. Which, if you could describe Old Gregg in two (err, four?) words, wtf and love would be them.

10.There's A Good Reason...- Panic! At the Disco: ...*dances*... Aizen of Bleach. It's a little upbeat for him. And little poppy. But come ON. "You're reading lips "When did he get at all confident?"". Aizen going from being sweet, adorable (*swoon*) taicho to suddenly, TRAITOR. It was awesome. And required a lot of traits that nobody thought Aizen would have. And yes. He's so the new cancer, eating away at Hueco Mundo and a lot of Arrancar. And no, I can't stand it. ♥


Like hell I'm going to tag people. I don't even know ten people well enough to do this to them!?! *PARANOOIIIDDD*
And I think I think too much. :X
Also. Dear Eyeshield 21. Mamori (boob, lol) needs to die in a fire. Y/Y?!

Okay. So I'm generally making this post to raise money for Anime Wasabi in March. I'm selling pretty much all of my manga and some books I have laying around. I figured I'd try LJ before heading over to the fabulous ebay.

So, uhm, I'll put the list behind a cut. And if you do want something but disagree with my price, make an offer. And if no one beats that offer within 24 hours then it's yours. Unless the offer is obscene like two cents.

( list of allll my crap for sale )

I really do apologize for spamming your flist like this, everyone. I'm just sort of desperate to go to this con. I hope you can understand. T_T Plus I really need a new wig for my Orihime cosplay.

Good morning, world. ♥ You're looking pretty today!

... I watched the first two minutes of Moon Phase on gaia. Yes, I've sunken low enough to go back there, tail between my legs. You have no idea how bored I am.
Anyway. It looks like a bad hentai anime.
...Now what do I do.

Hmpf. If anyone gets an IM from an unknown content that says "your friends only post have been stolen" and then provides a link to a website starting with your lj name, don't click on it. It's a shock site or whatever. And will pretty much just fuck up your computer.
It just happened to me (of course I didn't click on it, I've learned my lesson.) so I figured I'd warn everyone on my flist. ♥
So yes. I'm going to bed now.

Anyone know any titles of Japanese love/dating sim games? I'm really bored and played around with some fake ones on deviantart. But now I'm addicted. *___*);
...and I really want the real thing. I don't care if I don't know japanese. I CAN LEARN.

Plus some of them have been translated into English or so I've heard. I just can't find any titles.

LMFAO.
BEST. CONVERSATION. EVER. ♥

2007, you've treated me well. I don't remember much of what happened this year. Everything is like a blur to me sometimes. I know Ute Creek closed down. Which was very depressing. I know I wasn't happy with myself. We all make silly ressilutions in hopes that we can improve ourselves from one year to the next. I've never been able to fulfill any of those past wishes. I don't suppose this year will be any different.

2008...just...wow. Heh, I remember when it was 1990-something and we were all afraid of the end of the world. And then we had the big Y2K crisis. I look back and...am just amazed. So much has changed in my outside world, but inside...not much is different. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I mean...yes I've gotten a little more mature. I understand more than I did when I was younger. But....being seventeen is just like...being fourteen again or something. It's difficult to explain, but I feel no different.
Fourteen minutes and it'll be 2008. I need to think of something to bring the new year in with, but I'm not sure what. Maybe I'll call Sierra and pile up in clothes and go stand outside to watch fireworks. Maybe that'll make our friendship last that much longer. In 2008 I want to be stronger. I don't care so much about being flawless or gorgeous. I mean, that's nice and all. But even if I was pretty I still don't feel comfortable being with myself. And I think that's something that another year should help. In 2008, I want to launch myself out of this protective pod my parents have encased me in. Not just my parents though, I'm at fault too. I'm tired of never taking chances. Of never doing something just to do something. I'm tired of being too afraid to go to the mall with my friends just because my parents wont be there. I'm seventeen - as of this next year I'll be 18. And then what? I can legally live on my own, go to college (assuming I make it out of high school. Well, adult ed. But that's another thing entirely.)

2008 is the year I become a person in the eyes of society. No, it's not like being 21. Sure there's more things you can do, but I'll legally be an adult. I don't have to change who I am. I mean, surely if the last three years haven't changed me much, I doubt being even 20 would completely change me. I'll always like cartoons, video games, anime...
Even though just typing this makes my heart race...I know I'll be okay.

My name is Sarah. I am seventeen. And I am ready to live my life.




*big inhale!!*
SO. I'm going to kick ASS this year. I'm going to get a job. I'm going to finish school. I'm going to work on a portfolio and I am going to art college. Because that is who I am. I'm not going to be the ohmygod BEST artist. But I am going to work my hardest. And some day I WILL do concept art and plot development for video games. THAT'S MY NINJA WAY.'ttebayo!!

Enjoy this because it makes me squeal like a little girl and blush like woah.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

I'm alive. Kind of.
I had a big long entry to write buuuttt I can't remember. So fuah.

back from FL. as of...iunnoh. day before yesterday - wednesday i think? days go by too fast. xD
i'm terribly tired. buuutt. i dunno. i'll probably go to bed early tonight.
i'm also rly hungry. but mum will be home in a few hours or something from her dentist appointment. blah.

So uhm. I know I haven't updated in forever. I feel bad about it. Sort of.
I haven't been busy. plumaluna got me hooked on WoW. And we play on a free server. P: so it's not like I'm wasting 15 dollars a month. I don't think I even have 15 dollars to spend to begin with.
The internet on my laptop is shifty lately. One minute my laptop sees the wireless card in it, and then it'll go orange and be like "THERE'S NO CARD HERE. LOL."
I'm debating on sending it in. Sending it in means I have to DL WoW and Burning Crusade onto my desktop. Which shuts off every ten to twenty minutes. So DLing something that takes over 12 hours is...not going to happen. Unfortunately.
And I don't want to reinstall Vista on my laptop before sending it in. I also don't want them to have access to all my shit either.
WOO. My BC DL is done. Sweet victory.


Other than that...I guess I don't have much to say right now. I want to start American Government in school tomorrow. lirimaerea is...all kinds of inspiring to me and my self-paced Adult Ed. studies. I suddenly am ready to kick ass and get moving. I do want to go to college, after all.

I want to work at the Face Research Center. :(

So, more news and the finale.
We went outside and kept watching, pretty much five SWAT team guys and once policeman kept hiding behind the SUV thing, waiting on a search warrent to go into the house.
They sent in this robot thing first, and by that time my dad told me to go inside and get the camera. So I did and we started filming. By now the helicopters had gone (aside from the occasional news one) and we were ducking in the bushes at the side of our porch filming the scene.

The robot went inside, and after maybe thirty minutes to an hour they got their search warrent, and gathered up several more SWAT guys. One had a big body shield thing (boo doo people murder people style for you Hellsing fans.) and the rest lined up behind them. They entered the house, the last one being the guy with the big attack dog. (German Shepherd.)
There was a lot of yelling when they entered and after another thirty minutes or so they brought out some Mexican guy in a yellow tshirt, boxers, and socks. I laughed at his attire.
They pushed him up against the hood of the SUV, gave him his rights, and then the police man yelled at him for his previous drug and weapon criminal records and for carrying a gun.
After they put him in the car and sent it off, we pretty much just watched as the rest of it unfolded. Not much happened, they searched the whole house before finally exiting. Several of the swat guys left and get THIS. Two guys came from around this other house - they were SNIPERS. It was so COOL. They came walking up our street with big long bags and one had his gun out with the little scope on it. I was like "DUDE. XD"
So yes, they packed up and left. Then things started clearing up. It was safe to be outside and our neighbors started to gather. Some guy came by and brought police tape and taped off the scene of the crime (so to speak). Oh! Speaking of the crime. I'm a witness because I heard the actual stabbing and car theft happen last night/this morning. (It was about 1:00 or so.)
So yes, they brought the big white forensics truck/van thing. And a lot of police cars pulled around. They took down the "road closed" signs at the ends of our roads and took the cones away. A news guy finally got in and questioned some of the neighbors gathered. A couple of them got interviews. We were down there, too, talking to another one of our neighbors who had been watching the entire thing since 5:30 (ish) this morning.
Apparently they got one guy at about 5:30. It was either him or the second guy who was in relations with the homeowner. Who was his aunt. How mean is that, eh? Anyway, at about 6:30 when I woke up to the explosion, they had used a concussion bomb to get the door open/ secure the area. Then at about 7:00 they pulled the second guy out and took him away.

The camera man started coming out way so we were like OHGOD and started running. I'm in no fit shape to be seen on TV. Plus I'm in my pajama pants.
Talk about an exciting morning! I think I'm ready for a nap. xD

I got my hair "straightened".
It's really just a relaxer they put in to calm the curls down. But I think it looks good. It's kind of like after-salon poofy right now, but hopefully that'll calm and the curl will stay away. 8)

On another note - I should cosplay young!Ukitake Y/N?
