So hey. A not-fic-update!

[themegaloo]

Hi folks, guess what? You get to read just me blathering. Lucky you. Though I guess I won't blame you if you just scroll on past. This is going to prove to be very dorky.

Now, first of, I have discovered the best, and possibly one of the most hilarious ways to pass time. Watching One Piece in German. Now I know that doesn't SOUND terribly amusing, especially if you don't SPEAK German, but to me, it's downright amazing. I can understand about HALF of what they're saying and I'm totally picking up new vocabulary and I think it's pretty much a win-win situation. Plus, it's just downright funny. Falkonaugen Mihawk? Eisburg? The Sogeking themesong? One of the things I've noticed is the German dub is a LOT FARTHER ALONG than the English one. And I encourage anyone to search "deutsch, one piece" on youtube and watch random clips because some of the voices are HILARIOUS.

In other watching news, I finally have actually seen all of Firefly. Not entirely in order YET, as I saw the last four episodes over the Christmas hols and am only just now caught back up to that point from the beginning. I really like it. Which is surprising on one count because I hates Buffy and Angel when I was forced to watch them every day after school and unsurprising on another because they're, well. Space pirates. I scared myself half to death last night though. Reavers are creepy at the best of times, but at 2 am in the living room by yourself? Yeah, downright terrifying and I don't recommend it. BUT I DO RECOMMEND FIREFLY ON THE WHOLE. HIGHLY! It's sort of HILARIOUS.

I'm also still flabbergasted by how much I love writing fic for One Piece. I wrote TWO yesterday. The one properly posted and then a Smoker/Ace fic in the comments for xredribbon. So fun.

OH! And that meme. The nice one where you pick ten people who make your day a little shinier! I'd paste the instructions but I don't have them handy. Tagged by takewing though, and it's just such a sweet meme I had to do it. Was gonna post it yesterday but posted fic instead. Whoops. And I could only really think of 8. So hey. No real order.

Turns out I DO have the instructions in the text file I threw it in! GO ME.

Pick 10 people and give them the "You Make My Day" award. If you're picked, you are charged with picking 10 of your own (please don't feel the need to add me to your list if you do it).

1. nickelodeon I am so glad I figured out I actually CAN carry a conversation in a bucket with you after the aborted attempts of ages past, just like I'm glad your excitement over One Piece was apparently contagious, because I seriously think my days are constantly better for it. You're awesome.
2. evilpsychojoe You....are ridiculous, fun, silly, you call me Megan-swan, you can blow smoke hearts [NO PICS BUT I TOTALLY SAW IT LAST NIGHT. IT HAPPENED, FOLKS.] and I just enjoy having you around! You keep us sane, somehow. XD
3. xredribbon SEASHELL. Oh how I love you, let me count the ways. Oh wait, I'll be counting for ages and then I won't finish anything ever. So let's just leave it at the fact that I think you're FANTASTIC and RPing has been a BLAST and I SWEAR TO GOD I'M GOING TO STOP MISSING POSTS EVENTUALLY so I can actually RP more.
4. maxine_chan Your text messages always make me grin, and not just because they're generally about the cutest stuffed animal in the world. You're hilarious and awesome and I feel very lucky to know you!
5. takewing Well first off you tagged me in this which TOTALLY brightened my day, but also you're sweet, fun, a great person to RP with, you write fantastic fic and I always look forward to reading what you have to say!
6. jazzyjello You. Are too. Cute. With your OP menagerie. SERIOUSLY. It's definitely not possible to be in a bad mood when you get comments from CHOPPER or HATTORI or you're just READING them. And you study literature with induces a nerdy pleasure in me. :D
7. snuzzie You're a dork. It makes me laugh. No, really. We aren't as close as we used to be, but you still make me grin when I talk to you.
8. handjobs4free Idiot and you've been hard as hell to catch online, but when I do it almost always still makes my day a bit brighter. Which is the point. I like hearing your adventures!

OMG I couldn't figure out what it meant. I don't know if I can do this meme. a lskdgjlaksdgj I'd feel bad if I left anyone out.

I DON'T KNOW. I'm in love with that song in general though.

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! I don't blame you for not figuring it out. Made it sound kinda weird, didn't it? But yeah. I ALMOST didn't do it because...it's just not something I do often? But hey. I had fun thinking about who really does make my day brighter.

I'M LOOKING UP THE GERMAN LYRICS NOW SO I CAN SING IT OBESSIVELY.

I find it amusing that it's "Die Reise Beginnt" though. That doesn't mean anything to do with "Brand New World" at all. It means "The Vacation/trip Begins" XDD

[nickelodeon.livejournal.com]

I don't usually do memes unless it's a survey one or something. We'll see. I've been tagged a few times.

HAHAHAA! I can sing the Japanese one. Sort of. Not really.

Oh Germlish.

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

I VERY RARELY do them at ALL. Hahaha.

Well I'd learn it if I could FIND THE DAMN LYRICS! I clearly need to hone my german googling skillz. They seem to be lacking.

....and ant just crawled across my laptop screen. O.O I'm going to attempt to ignore the fact that that just happened.

[nickelodeon.livejournal.com]

I should do this one and just make people up or something. "stephanie: I like you because you have a great user name. GIVE IT TO ME!!"

I'm ashamed in you.

HAHAHAHAHA! AN ANT?! I don't even have to deal with them for MONTHS.

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

HAHAHA. I would laugh. XD AND WHAT A SHAME IT IS DELETED!!!

.....I found it like, five seconds after you signed off!!! Clearly your presence on the internet was hindering my German googling skillz! SEE!!! (http://www.golyr.de/one-piece/songtext-die-reise-beginnt-651434.html%20title=)

I REALLY like the lyrics too now that I can SEE THEM AND FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY'RE SAYING!

Yeah. I don't see any follow ant brethren so I think I'm safe for now. o.o

THE NAME IS DELETED!!!!!!!!!
