Hello and welcome to my blog.

As of February 2009 I have decided to keep my posts private due to spambots and unwanted visitors.

I talk about alot of things. I don't want popularity, I want friendship. I talk about sensitive issues like politics, feminism, music etc. Comment on my last public post and I will consider adding you.

I cosplay as Harley Quinn and I write Batfic. The fandom is dear to me.

I like cheesecake, please leave offer at the altar.

Janet Arvizo is a fat cow with Demon spawn and Tom Sneddon is a cold man.

Dealing with you is like dealing with herpes. Just when I think you are gone, you come back.

First look at Harley in Streets of Gotham!

So there is this city worker who opposes KISS making an appearance in her neck of the woods because she, get this, finds them 'sick and revolting'.

Um, that's what attracted me and most of the KISS Army to our heroes in the first place. Don't get me wrong though, I can appreciate the finer things in life. I have some Elton John in my CD collection (yes, I still like CDs). I also have some Thompson Twins, Tina Turner, Madonna, Pat Benatar etc. But my all time favorite group will always be KISS. KISS is like a buffet. Their musical contributions in the last 35 make for a wide smogasboard of musical choices. You want some classic KISS, get Destroyer. You want some more 'poppy' kind of music, I reccomend the Unmasked album. You want something alternative then get '(Music from) The Elder' out. If you want disco KISS then get Dynasty and spin the fuck out of 'I was made for loving you'. That's why I like them because they evolve, and even if the initial response was not warm, it comes around. These guys are like Madonna, always reinventing themselves.

So anywho, off my soapbox. My beef right now is that there is a city worker by the name of Susan Meyers who does not want KISS to appear in her city because she finds them offensive. What she did not know was that KISS is doing a first ever fan routed tour. That means fans get to choose where KISS will play. The cynic in me says that KISS is going because they want to where the money is in this economy which is more saggy than an old woman's tit. So, the people WANT KISS to be there, but she doesn't. Hmmm, do I smell hypocrisy? A tour would bring great revenue to the city and bring some culture. Okay, so maybe spitting blood or breathing fire isn't as sophisticated as playing the harpsichord, but still, entertainment is entertainment. If we were talking about a real life Dr. Manhatten then I could understand more or less. If somebody made a racist comment than I could understand why she would find them 'sick and revolting'.

I swear, it's like 1976 all over again. And I thought it was bad in the reunion tour in 1996 when religious zealots in Mississippi did not want them around.

Woke up at around 9
Left the house at around 10
Printed out my final for history
Turned it into the prof.
Picked up my UCLA Parking permit for Spring
Got a smoothie at the student store

I was out of UCLA by 12PM

I decided to go to Target to find me an in one printer, scanner, etc. I found a Lexmark for about the right price. I came home around 1:20.

I took my aunt for a ride to the market

Came home

Cleaned up my room so that I could make space for the new scanner/printer

Everything was going fine until I found out that there was no chord. I had to go BACK to Target and get me a USB cable. This was just about an hour ago.

I set everything up. Everything works beautifully. It was less of a hassle than my last printer and I hope it doesnt mess up.

I had to rearrange my action figures and now, only my large Joker action figure is on the floor.

I also took out about 20 pounds of paper from an old drawer. I was cleaning up again not just so that my drawers could breathe but to see if I can sell some old books. I wanna see if I can get some money for some books if I return them. The cleaned out paper was put inside a recycle bin, so it's all good.

I am so glad I took today off and traded it for Thursday. Guh.

Three books out of my six book order from amazon came today. I have four in total. All I need is Landmark Thucydides and Sealed with a Kiss. The last one was an indulgence. The most important was that I got the sixth edition of the Bevington Shakespeare collection.

Now, I am gonna go get something to eat. I really wanted to write my next chapter. I am looking forward to writing what's left of it. It's gonn be short (the chapter) but if worse comes to worse, I can always do it Thursday or Friday, but I won't make promises.

I got another request for chapter 26. Heh, my readers do surprise me sometimes.

It's amazing what you can get done in only nine hours.

I have so much art I wanna share I can't wait!!

I got a Daisy from one of the student organizations along with a little card that came with it that had a historical fact about women's history. Mine's read: In 1990, Dr. Antonia Novello is sworn in as US General becoming the first woman (and first Hispanic) to hold that job. I am wearing the daisy behind my ear.

I'm also reading the Vagina Monologues I guess in honor of this. I say I guess because I am first and foremost reading this book out of pure curiosity and not because March is women's history month. So far so good. I only just got passed the introduction. I shall post a review later on. The book is in the play's section so I was glad the library has a copy and now I am reading it behind my desk. Mind you, I say this as someone who has rejected the feminist movement for the chimera that it has become. That doesn't mean I am not in touch with my inner feminist.

About a month ago, two at most, I get an email from someone who more than likely got my address from fanfiction.net because their message mentioned looking for people who were interested in Jonathan Crane and Jervis Tetch (and slashing them together). The first time, they send me a link to their fanfic. I am far from a Scarecrow or Mad Hatter fan, but I do like them alot but I wouldn't call myself someone who is obsessive about those two to the point where I would read fanfic about them. I said I was gonna look but I was too busy at the time and the email message probably got deleted in the heap of messages that I let clutter my inbox afterawhile. Tonight, I get ANOTHER email from the same person with a doc attachment in their email with a message that mentioned that it should keep me entertained until fanfiction.net would fix their website. At this point I just rolled me eyes. I don't wanna be rude and will more than likely ignore her. A part of me wants to write her back with a few points on online netiquette and talking to strangers especially the ones who don't write as often as they used to due to RL things. No, she did not run over my rabbit but getting messages like this are REALLY REALLY strange. I did some googling and found out she was 17ish. Now that I remember, her first message mentioned how she wanted more people to review her story because she felt "it deserved more". I can understand wanting to feel appreciated but going by this route will just not do it. I'll probably respond later. I can't be bothered reading fanfic lately so she should have no reason to take it personally.

I am a bad friend, so before I forget

Happy birthday superfan1!
Happy belated birthday pinkertonlady!
Happy birthday dragonbat2006!
Happy birthday roguecatwoman!
Happy belated birthday phoenix_skyborn!

PS, RC, I will get to your prompt sometime this week!

LOOKAT ME!!!!

Idealistically, I am pro life because I don't think a baby is a 'thing' or a bit of tissue and I do think people should take responsibility but pragmatically I am pro choice (if that makes sense). I remember a few years ago I was debating with a religious friend of mine and she made a comparison between a four year old child and a fetus and asked which one I would save. My response was of course I would for the four year old but come on, I am not going to put my hands up inside some girl.

As strange as it sounds, I am in favor of this. I don't want my tax dollars going to welfare. I grew up knowing some and.....yeah. I would rather this go into the stimulus package than Uncle Sam eat up my taxes to pay for more subsidies on WiC. Call me callous or insensitive but there are times when its okay to be empathetic but this is not one of those.

This piece from a review on amazon pretty much highlights why I like the 'one bad day angle'

The "one bad day" premise highlights the "two sides of the same coin" argument that Batman and Joker are in fact more alike than dissimilar. As if Bruce Wayne took a right when his arch-nemesis took a left. The controversial ending leaves little doubt as to Alan Moore's take on the debate, and I like it like that. While many critics have strongly resisted both the comparison and the somewhat sympathetic look at The Joker's past, the truth is that every great character -villain or hero- needs that sort of intricacy to their story to remain relevant in the world of modern fiction. Comics are no longer for children and adults realize that the world is seldom black and white, that all monsters were once men, and that unspeakable darkness and insanity resides deep inside each human mind. It can take years of suffering to bring them out or it can take one bad day. One bad day could ruin your very existence and everything you were; it's a frightening reality that cannot be overlooked while reading this comic.

Whan that April in his shoures soote
the drought of March had perced to the root
And bathed every veyne in swich licour
And every vertu engendered is the flour
When Zephyrus eek with his sweet breethe
Inspired hath in every holt a heeth
The tender croppes and the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram in his half cour yronne
The small fowles maketh melody
That slepen in the night with open ye
So priketh hem Nature in all hir corages
That longen folk to gone pilgrimages

Okay, so I may have messed up some of the smaller words. I bet you are wondering why I am doing this? This is for my Chaucer class and for half a grade (yes, half) I have to recite the first 18 lines of the General Prologue. Sounds easy, right? Well, we have to recite it in its native language of MIDDLE ENGLISH in her office (and not in front of class) so breethe is actually bRAYthe and the ye is actually 'eye'. I have the first twelve down and I am seriously thinking about doing it this week inspite of the little bastard in the back of the molar. I hope the prof will have sympathy. I can imagine cold_nostalgia and sparklywalls laughing at my piss poor attempt at mimicking the Middle English tongue! :P


Oh and lookie what I found!! And look! Is that Poison Ivy on the far right?!

Okay update:

I think it is a wisdom tooth but I don't know if it's impacted or not or if I should leave it alone.

See, right now, I am trying my damndest from keeping my teeth from shutting. I can't grind my teeth like how I normally did because the gums on the lower jaw on the back of my last molar are very sensitive. My upper jaw has a tooth and when I shut my jaw or chew (as I learned last night) it hurts like Hell when it touches my lower jaw. I looked inside this morning and I noticed a flap behind my last tooth. It is noticibly bigger than yesterday so I am hoping that it is a tooth forming (and normally I hope). I don't know if I should go to the dentist because since my lower jaw doesn't have any wisdom teeth but my upper does, I am thinking of leaving it alone for about a week. I am told that it hurts and I do remember feeling some pain when my other teeth grew but not like this. I am not in much pain now except only when I inadvertently touch my gums with my tooth or tongue.

ETA: Great, now I can't even talk normally!

So last night, I was watching Kissology 3 for the millionth time and I was drinking a soda. Well, after a gulp, I felt this cold pain on the left side of my mouth. It was so sudden. It wouldn't go away so I put orajel and took pain relief pills to help me sleep. It was really painful. I went to sleep around 12:30 but woke up at 4AM and I have been awake every since. Right now, my mouth is fine until I apply pressure. The pain seems to be centered on my gums and not my tooth. Last night, I looked and I found what look like a cavity as I was applying orajel. I felt something hard on the hole. I did some research and I still don't know if it's a cavity (because the hole is not on the tooth but on the gum and on the back of my last tooth). I googled for some information and I found out that it could be possible that it might be a wisdom tooth erupting. I don't know. I wore braces around 2004 and had them removed either late that year or in early 2005. They removed some of my molars because I had an overbite. I don't know if it's a wisom tooth because my teeth were removed that long ago. But there's also another thing. Ever since I had my teeth removed, every six months or so, I would get some pain in my gums especially back there. It would hurt if I applied even the most minute of pressure. The pain would come and go. It would last for a day or two but it wasn't as bad as the pain I have right now. It almost feels like I have an inflammation.

This is Jack's new playmate, Elaine. I didn't want to talk about it but Barbara died last October. She was already sick it seemed so I was a little nervous about getting him a new friend. I was a little worried because what if this one was unhealthy. She came home around two weeks ago and now I am just barely getting around to posting.

Starving. I wanna leave!!

I just heard the new Ace Frehley song 'Sister'. It sounds so KICK ASS! I. CAN. NOT. WAIT. Go ACE!!

I went to the Pharmacy to get my birth control pills. Turns out that my insurance card was denied (and I think I know the reason why). See, last year, I was almost going to go into surgery to see if there was anything wrong with me but it was cancelled because I was over age 19 and I was no longer insured. My father who has insured me since I was born told me that when he got his new job in 2006, he couldn't put me under the insurance because I was over age. The same thing happened with my mom because she got a letter from her place of employment. I'm almost 23 and I don't plan on moving out anytime soon (but my goal is by age 25).

I know that I have no insurance but that was since last year and I have been going into the pharmacy the latter part of the year and even last month so I don't know what's going on. I DID find out that that I have SHIP at UCLA. SHIP=Student Health Insurance Plan. I *might* get some help there but I won't put my eggs in one basket. My father said that we'll figure something out. I really need these pills PREFERABLY before the month is up because I cannot go back to having painful cramps. I had some mild pains last night before I went to sleep and I felt icky for being reminded of those awful cramps that were so bad that I could not even do simple things, not even sleep. The first incident I remember happened was in December 2005. I was working retail and after we closed and were fixing the store I went to the backroom to sit down and rest for ten minutes. I did that about six times that night. The next wave happened one year later at my first quarter at UCLA. I didn't do anything because the pains, although they were bad, they lasted one or two hours tops. Before I started Loestrin, I had pains that went on for as long as six to nine hours. I don't want to go back to that unless I work from home.

I don't know which one is more embarassing for the ears, Lil John's 'Get Low' or Ludacris' 'What's Your Fantasy?'

The only reason I downloaded the Lil John one was because Chris Rock talked about it.

I went to Hollywood today to get my car fixed. This was about the starter and I needed to get the smog check and I passed with flying colors. In CA, you can wait three months after 'pre registration' to get any kinks fixed before doing the actual thing. I won't do it until next Friday.

I went back to the Hollywood gym. It felt strange going back in. I haven't used that thing since....2003 maybe? I did a few things in Hollywood to kill time while my car was in the shop. All was well until I got to the locker room and found some crap on my pink dress shoes. I tried to keep myself from retching. God, I hate dogs. I don't know what was more gross that or how completely unsanitary looking the ladies room was. I go to the gym dressed now. I used to have to change there when I used the bus and had school that same day. Nowadays I just go in and out.

After the gym I got myself a muffin from the juice bar. Haven't had one of those in awhile.

I went to Hollywood and Highland. It was still pre noon when I got there. I visited the Virgin Megastore. I should have brought my camera because I think my comic friends on my flist would have had a hoot seeing two Batmen, a Catwoman and a Batgirl walking around in front of the Chinese Theatre. I don't know if these are hired actors or if anyone can show up dressed up. I also saw Spiderman, the Incredible Hulk, Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe and Captain Jack today.

I did get a goodie from Virgin, a white Why So Serious t shirt. I wasn't wearing anything under my UCLA sweatshirt (because I forgot to pack in a workout shirt) so I got it but my biggest catch for today was FINALLY getting my copy of Art of the Dark Knight. I preordered this thing last April and I never got it from my LCS. When I explained my late orders to another comicstore owner I know he explained to me that maybe the financing that my main LCS does was not the best. See, they give credit. If you spend 20 bucks on a trade, you get four bucks added to your account and you accumulate accordingly. I did get my Joker tin box and my Joker scroll but I did not get the statue I requested, a keychain, a coffee mug and the book. A couple of you on my LJ have it and the library I work at got its own copy a month ago BUT NOT ME!! I even went to my local Borders but no such luck. I have even gone to the Hollywood one a few times but still, it was as if it was out of my reach. But today, I went to the GN section after lunch to kill time. Naturally I looked at the Batman section and like always was mildly impressed with the collection but lo and behold, I saw a very familiar looking cover flap on top of a thick book. There were two of them, tempting me like gazelles. I snatched one.

I'm now at peace...............until now.

Also, I hate VISTA
