Piggybacking on neighbor's shaky WiFi, whoo.
Edit: Or was, until it died on me. Didn't get a chance to post this till now, orz.
Hey all, remember that one time when there was this one chick in your Friends List who wasn't particularly special but supposedly exuded her own loser charm or something like that? And she had to disappear because of RL ish, Internet issues, and eventually vacation plans. She liked pretending her absence in your Friends List would be missed.
Yup, backers. ^.^;;
Got back from New York this morning, and I'm still feeling kind of out there because of the travel and lack of sleep the night before. I think I'll get around to a bullet point list of what all went down the past summer, but I can't think straight so you get a meme post and a keyboard smashingly adorable video of
a mama cat adopting an orphaned baby bunny. Aww.
I'm combining the journal list and journal name explanation memes because they seem to go hand-in-hand anyway.
Current
orochiagenda, canon-based Naruto game incorporating AU characters
quiet_stare (IC!Hinata) - Hinata's quiet. And she observes things in a stalker-like manner from the sidelines. I don't know how an action performed by eyeballs such as staring can be quiet when eyeballs don't make any sound that I know of, but obviously I was not thinking that when I came up with that journal name.
the_inners_out (Inner OOC!Sakura) - Sakurako is canon Sakura's inner self if it were an actual person and not a symptom of schizophrenia her reservations.
cloudmindedtobi (Amnesiac OOC!Obito) - Obito Tobi doesn't remember his life before the rock slide that killed his canon counterpart and loses his head in the clouds a lot thinking about it. I'm sorry I liked the long disproved Tobito theory, blah.
digi_world, canon-based post-Digimon Adventure 02 game
nadeshiko_panic (Miyako) - I couldn't get
crash_de_bingo so I named the journal after Miyako's other image theme. Very creative indeed.
dusk_academy, multifandom magic academy game
strengthtohelp (Noa, KIBA) - Having grown up very sickly and always assisted by his best friend, Noa realized towards the end of the series he wanted power so he could help others the way Zed did for him.
paraluna_mods, Tsubasa/xxxHolic-based multifandom/AU game
seekingoutpower (Noa, KIBA) - At the point I took him from the canon all the Key Spirits except Amil Gaoul scattered across the different worlds. Noa's main goal in the game is to find Sachura, his Spirit and source of power.
Dropped
youre_kidding, Naruto next-gen game
lotus_genjutsu (Tien-shi Lee, Rock Lee/Tenten son) - LEETEN IS LOVE. But that fact has nothing to do with Tien-shi's journal name. Basically he sucked at taijutsu despite his supah taijutsu parentage and somehow got leet genjutsu skizzles instead. His signature move was some kind of lotus genjutsu thing that I don't remember anymore. Yup.
xenohome, X-Men OC game
rinachada (Charina Merchada) - Name smush. Rolled off the tongue nicely. Easiest explanation you'll find in this meme.
oshima_high, Naruto high school AU game
sharpshot1010 (Tenten) - Tenten's character template said she was supposed to be a star baseball player. I thought it said "basketball" instead because apparently I cannot read. So her journal name means she now has crazy hoops-shooting accuracy and was named after numbers.
dance4mysanity (Yugito) - The cool way to fit the canon jinchuuriki in game AU was to make them have dissociative personality disorder. Yugito's way of keeping her other personality Nibi away was dance. I remember thinking I was witty and introspective for coming up with that journal name, but now it just sounds lame and emo. Ah well.
nameskonohamaru (Konohamaru) - What the frick, KonoKono, you were ridiculous fun to play with. I NEED TO PLAY MORE PUNK-AZZ DOUCHEBAGS. Anyway, name. Beneath the inflated freshmeat ego front, KonoKono emoed about always being stuck in grandpa Sarutobi's shadow, so he made sure everyone acknowledged the Konohamaru in his name first.
port_mango, multifandom sucked-into-foreign-world game (Is there a better way to word that? :\)
ioncehadacause (Noa, KIBA) - I pulled the poor guy into game world right after his beloved Neotopia fell to Tusk and Zymot. Neotopia obsessively loved its rules, Noa obsessively loved Neotopia and its rules. Then war broke out and he saw everything and everyone he dedicated his life and power to crumble before his eyes. So for a while he was emoing about having no purpose in life, and that's where his journal name comes from.
dartsndoldrums (Mai, Avatar: The Last Airbender) - Mai likes her throwing darts. Mai also thinks pretty much everything is a drag -- at least until Book Three made her all schmoopy over Zuko. Put those two together, add in a little alliteration, and voila! Name.
konohas_leaves, Naruto next-gen game
lotus_genjutsu (Tien-shi Lee, Rock Lee/random midlife crisis Cloud chick son) - The only time I ever reused a journal, since this game was also run by YK's mods. Same name story as YK!Tien-shi except with a different baby mama and aged slightly older.
Oashisu, Naruto next-gen game
wrongly_skilled (Ten-ishi Lee, Rock Lee/Tenten son) - No, I don't obviously recycle character concepts! O: Once again Lee and Tenten's son somehow fails at taijutsu, only this one pwns at ninjutsu and emos about being improperly talented.
20something_, young adulthood OC game that never started
griffkiku (Griffin "Griff" Abutin Kikutani, "the socially inept professional student") - Mod required journal names included the respective character's name. I wanted something short and sweet. Most boring explanation you'll find in this meme.
silverbirch, OC country club game
lenaherself (Relena "Lena" Sebrino) - Lena was an individualist despite her parents ingratiating themselves to the upper class. She expected people to take her as she was or don't bother.
unfunflogs, multifandom AU slash game
strongerthanit (Noa, KIBA) - Noa is obviously my RP character whore except I wasn't active enough for him to actually get some in this game, ha ha. Prudish model citizen by day, masochist by night -- Noa's method of proving to himself he was stronger than his crippling illness was getting bottomed hard and enduring the pain. Yeeeahhh...
sieben_rpg, multifandom sucked-into-foreign-world game
girliesgottagun (Mingchao, Et Cetera) - Mingchao's a hyper little Chinese girl with a magic gun powered by the essence of Chinese zodiac animals. Plus I liked the alliteration in this one, too.
thedailygrind, coffee shop OC game
rinaisallsmiles (Charina Merchada) - OMG RINA LOST HER THOUGHT-MATERIALIZATION POWERS!!!!1one Yeah, she's another character rehash because I lack inspiration. Daily Grind!Rina was the peppy positive girl who never stopped smiling.
In more current news, I accidentally opened some Delano guy's school mailbox thinking it was mine and freaked out about feeling like a criminal, and almost two hours after I went to the gym for a 30-minute cardio workout I still feel like I'm going to pass out and die. Ew, out of shape. X.x;;
