Shae's Journal

I'm horrible at keeping this thing updated. Hopefully that will change when school is over and I'm under less stress.

As you can tell by the icon I am into Death Note. Yup, I didn't see this one coming really, and avoided it at the height of its popularity. My roommies and I rented the movie and yeah addicted. Also, evident from the icon is my favorite character being L. I didn't see this one coming either since I usually like the baddies more than I do the good guys.

Earlier when I did my hotness meme I left a few people off. I hated it I did, but what can you do? I only got to pick 10 after all. I figured though that Takehito deserved his own post at some point.

Takehito Koyasu is probably one of the most well known, popular voice actors in Japan. He created Weiss Kreuz after he and his friends, fellow voice actors, started singing together and then wanted to do a project together. He based the four main characters on them, looks as well as personality, and thus a series was born. Legal disputes made them change the designs when they did a continuation to the series a few years later.

01. Compose a list of your top ten sexiest famous men.
02. Collect one picture of each guy on your list.
03. Post them in your journal.
04. Do it if you want to.

Not dial-up friendly. Sorry I forgot the warning.

( Your touch makes me weak )

I would have put more comments on them, but ummmmm yeah. And for equal treatment we have the ladies. Just three though because time is short and I'm tired of looking for pictures *grins* I might edit later as more come to me. EDIT: More lovely ladies ahoy.

( Like Anyone would be I am flattered by your fascination with me. )
Bonus points if you can guess the pattern.

I did this on my LiveJournal but since I didn't have Semagic at the time I'll do a similar post here. Oh, and by the way I won't be using Semagic for everything just because some things are more appropriate over at LJ (mostly stuff to do with my RP sites, and the odd directed at particular group comments and such). Okay moving on:

True Blood: Love it! I will be watching ep. 6 as soon as I can.

Chuck: I adore this show so much. I wouldn't even be into it if it weren't for downloads.

How I Met Your Mother: I didn't think I would like this honestly. I'm not a huge comedy/sitcom fan usually, but it hooked me it did.

Eventually I will catch up with Smallville, Supernatural and watch The Sarah Connor Chronicles, but not at the moment.

Oh, oh and V is being remade. *does happy dance* Ah, the 80s.


EDIT: Question, would anyone want to see my fics? I can move them over here in the next couple of days if there is interest.

( And the Answer Is... )

I am horrible at keeping this thing updated. *guh* Anyway, not much is going on. All of my classes pretty much bore me this semester and weirdly I think I have reached burnout with my current job which I thought wasn't possible. Maybe I'm just a little tired because I still do love the people...I don't know.

The job search will begin in earnest in about a month or a month and a half. No doubt I'll have to take something that doesn't pay much at first, probably in retail, but hopefully it will get me through.

The bolded statements are the true ones.

I am 5'4" or shorter
I think I'm ugly sometimes
I have many scars
I tan easily
I wish my hair was a different colour
I have friends who have never seen my natural hair color
I have a tattoo
I am self-conscious about my appearance
I have/I've had braces
I wear glasses
I'd get plastic surgery if it were 100% safe, free, scar-free
I've been told I'm attractive by a complete stranger
I have more than 2 piercings
I have piercings in places besides my ears
I have freckles

( more than you wanted to know perhaps... )

The move is over. I still don't know what I feel; a little bit of relief, some anger, and maybe some betrayal mixed in for good measure.

I am trying now to just sit back and enjoy the simple things. RP being at the top of the list. Slowly I'm getting over the flakiness and stress of the earlier part of the summer which is allowing me to concentrate and have fun again. I mentioned this in my LiveJournal, but it should really be said here: Yoji, Youji, Yohji (however you spell it) has suddenly become my favorite Weiss Kreuz character. I couldn't have exactly foreseen it, but he's beautiful and complicated and broken and just pure love.

As for writing...that's not going so well. I'm going to force myself to get off my butt and get on it this month. I have to have at least $2000 saved up by the end of December so that in case I don't get a job right away I can at least pay bills.

On a sad note I have decided it isn't possible to go to Otakon this year. I wanted to. God in some ways I really needed to, but it's just not going to happen.

I've already put this in my livejournal, but since I don't have a filter it's way past time to put it here.

I will be moving in the next week. It stresses me and I'm practically at the end of my rope where stress is concerned this summer, but what can you do? Anyway, there is likely to be a minor interruption in my net at home. The good news if we move to the one place I stay here on campus for a while after work and take full advantage of the wireless...the bad news it could be up to a week.. *ugh* Anyway, I just wanted to put this out there and hopefully this whole thing will go smoothly.

1. My username is ______ because ______.
hirikosaunders because of a Weiss RP several years ago. Family is often a huge plot point in the anime, so it was one of the backgrounds you could pick. My character ended up with a five, so she was pretty connected. It was a...well not a good thing, but you know yay plot! So anyway, I came to LJ shortly after so I used her name. Any fans out there take a guess on who she was connected to.

2. My name is ______ because ______.
Hirikosaunders, because mostly I couldn't think of anything else at the time and just haven't gotten around to changing it.

3. My journal is titled ____ because ____.
"Shae's Journal". Again linked to an RP.

4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.
"Friends" because I just haven't taken the time to work on it and change it.

5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.
Because I have gotten into Twilight and she is playing Bella. Also, I love all the pictures from that particular photo shoot.

In a meme going around a little while ago I was asked for my top five. I wasn't asked this but I wanted to get this out since I had been thinking about it.

These are in no particular order:
Top five fictional characters:


1. Farfarello (Weiss Kreuz): Wow, just such an original concept and while he's scary as shit there's some sexy in there as well as vulnerability and sympathy.
2. Paul Atreides (Dune): My first fictional crush who established forever my love of dark-haired. light-eyed men.
3. Raistlin Majere (Dragonlance): Everything is his fault, trust me. It just is.
4. Lestat (Vampire Chronicles): So I'm into vampires, yeah? I don't remember when it started, or how, but he cemented it in a big way.
5. Any version of Beauty (Beauty and the Beast, etc..): My favorite fairytale of all times, in most cases no matter the version.

6. and if I could have a six, mainly 'cause my brain didn't go to him in time for this. Erik (The Phantom of the Opera): Since I was 16, that's all I can say abut that.

Okay, this is sort of a meme, but not really. A while back there was a meme that had to do with what ships you liked and numbering them and doing some other things. I am not quite up for that, but what I will do is offer you my ships and you can ask questions, or agree or disagree or remind of someone I've forgotten. Whatever, 'tis all good. Also, I am doing this by fandom so yeah. NOTE: You will notice that most of them are difficult pairings to make work. I like challenges and seeing how writers actually try to make it fit, so that's where most of them come from. Also you will notice some have several pairings listed for the same person. I am flexible and have been convinced of quite a few that I didn't see before along the way.

( Saying the road to love is bumpy is putting it mildly. )

Again if I've left anyone, anything, out and you're curious just let me know.

Not much to report honestly. I am still catching up on the homework front, but once I do I plan to relax and do a lot of reading.

I have two group projects that must have my parts finished before the weekend, and three finals, at least I think. Once I get that done then this semester, which has been very high on the stress level, can be finished! Weeeeeeeeee!

I am still hoping to go to Otakon this summer. If I don't make it I'm still going to try and do something. I just don't know what yet.

Oh, Weiss you are evil, sexy crack that keeps pulling me back in.

I am so burned out with school, but I'm almost finished so I'm just looking towards the end.

Pretty much addicted to the Twilight series and waiting for the new book to come out and for the movie. I've still got a long list of reading to do, but I've pretty much at the end of my reading mania I think *shrugs*. I'm slowly working on the last Anita Blake book so when the newest one comes out I'll be caught up.

Wow. My life is so exciting *snickers*.

So, I haven't really posted in this journal. Sorry about that...hopefully I will update more often from now on since the 'blahs' I have had since December seem to be going away, or at least lessening enough so I can accomplish things.

I have recently started reading the "Twilight" series by Stephenie Meyer and am quite impressed and pretty addicted. These add to about 25-30 books that I have waiting to read, and others that I need to check out of the library soon. I can't complain too much though and only hope I'll get time in the upcoming weeks to start and catch up.

These are links to my VERY early slash stories. They involve Ronin Warriors(Samurai Troopers). Here is a link to a definition of slash.

Please do not click these links if this will bother you, or if you are under 18. I cannot beat any of this over the head enough...Please just don't do it. I don't want to upset anyone or get any angry comments or emails.

Stone and Light. Kento/Seiji(Seiji is sort of a conceit and is much darker than in normal canon).

Waterfalls. Kento/Sai/Rowen.

Dangerous Games. Not slash yet, and may not ever be, but is dark and does involve kidnapping, mind games. Kento and Dais are involved. Also this is unfinished. Hopefully the muse will strike again.



Title: untitled at the moment...
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Lily Potter, James Potter, Voldemort, and Harry Potter
Rating: G-PG(for mention of violence/death)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me. Last time I checked I wasn't J.K. Rowling I was a poor college student. No money being made here. Also, there is no beta here at this point, and it was written very quickly so revising will probably take place at some point soon, so yes any mistakes are mine. If you should notice any please feel free to point them out and I will do my best to fix them. Thanks...

Well I have no idea what is going to happen with greatestjournal so just in case I'll be moving a few important journal entries over here so that I don't lose them. I am quite concerned and hopefully will be able to keep up with people that I interact with on GJ some way if it does go down. I will also be adding icons here because having just one doesn't quite cut it.

Describe yourself in one word: hyper
And now, tell us about you in general. Be as verbose as you like, no one's counting words here: I guess I want to be hopeful, and am most of the time, but others...well I guess I am more realistic than I would care to admit. The one thing I want most in the world I may never have and that kills me...anything to do with it just about brings me to tears at times..let's be honest just about everyday unless I force myself not to think about it(having children). I love to read, but am restless so even though I read quickly sometimes it takes longer to read because I will put the book down for days on end, and may lose interest. I love to sing, but don't think I can am trying to overcome issues by being in a voice class. I love to write, and have many ideas for stories and such, but alas the restless thing kicks in again so it takes me forever. I have a slightly obsessive personality, and often worry about things when I can't do anything about them. Have a LOT of self-confidence issues. For those who know Dragonlance, because I am short and hyper I have the nickname of Kenderkin.
