Random Ramblings

Fran found this for me and it's AMAZING.
This was directed by Todd MacFarlane and apparently handled by the same studio that did the Batman Animated Series back in the day ~<3
OMG I LOVE IT.

(also this studio really knows how to do awesome chicks. XD)
But I think it's also just... kind of amazing. And a great juxtaposition (lol THAT word) between the saturday morning cartoons of my childhood and such serious subject matter.
It's fast and great and RAWR I AM MOTIVATED BY STUFF LIKE THIS OMAGAW. XD

and this


and this

Both from Erin. <3

And these, which I didn't post when I found them, lol. XD

Vocaloids kinda creep me out and fascinate me at the same time, but the animation's hella nice!

-A Tiffany find of awesome~

So haunting and beautiful. D8

And another from Fran!

IT HAS THE COMBINED POWERS OF THE GUY WHO DID DIGIMON AND TAKASHI MURAKAMI. IT'S FANTASTIC. XD

So, I was looking up this episode of Evangelion, because I wanted to make a new icon to replace my Nny one as the "OH SHIT I'M HAVING A HORRRRRRRRIBLE DAY" icon. I thought of it a little while back, because I was thinking the same words when I was in such a mood - "I hate you I hate everyone I hate everything!! I hate.. myself," (though that's actually from the next episode, LOL. XD but I always think of the last image in this episode as being associated with that... ) I actually wanted to make it for awhile now. But, in finding the episode, I was greeted by this sight:

DO NOT WATCH IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE BEING MINDFUCKED TODAY.


WHAT THE HELL??? I DON'T REMEMBER THAT!!
I'm guessing this is from the director's cut? So yeah. Now I'm really curious to see it... D: But it definitely made my day a little suckier. XD
( Shut up brain... )

LOLWUT. XD
This ended up becoming an essay on history, commercialism, sentimentality, eras, and how things are remembered in the world of anime. XD Also, ended up being somewhat about our culture... Written Sunday, because I was cleaning and I ended up thinking long and hard about it. XD
Again, REALLY long. D: Sorry. D: D:

( All because I said something careless, and sought to find out why.... XD )

My thoughts on and much emo rambling in the same vein as the end of Eva, written Saturday. It was actually pretty good for me to do. It's very tl;dr, so if you don't feel like reading it, don't. But good god... Loneliness is such a shitty thing to be reminded of. XD
I'm glad I thought through it all, though.

( My word, so many words. XD )

....hmmm, I need some Eva icons.... XD

SO!
Tomorrow night, the KI department is having their 'Show Your Stuff Nite'- 5-8 PM in the basement of that-building-in-which-we-have-classes. XD The Terrace. ANYway, there's supposed to be FREE FOOD there, and the projects I've done for my animation class are going to be shown, along with my classmates' work, and... whatever else people decide to put in. XD I've heard rumors about a projection out in front of the building too. 8D

So, if you can come, that would be AWESOME. This is... pretty much the first show I've ever shown in! XD AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! I can only come for the first hour because I have class from 6-8 [le sniff] but yeah...
Meant to post about this sooner, but I forgot. D8 So sorry... But I thought I'd give you guys a heads up tonight instead of tomorrow, you know?

AWESOMMMME!!!! XD

( Here, have some hyper-crazy. I rant about cool stuff happening, driving, movies, Eva, ETC. ETC. READ ETTTTTT. XD ... Upon rereading it, I see that I think something in my mind must have busted. There is no sane excuse for that many 'AHAHAHAHA's and 'AWESOME's... XD )

SO COME TO SHOW YOUR STUFF NITE IF YOU CAN KTHXBYE.

( in which Evangelion reminds me of how much I suck, and I ramble on about deciding on something I thought I'd already decided upon. Namely, moving or not. )

WE DID THIS!!!

( LET'S DO THE )

Things I have learnt in the past couple days:

( quite a bit )

( Music: NIN, Evangelion stuff, White Stripes, Ludo )
---------
( Silly Shit - like my DA inbox, and stuff on ebay.. and GASP 4CHAN WHAT. XD )

Cool pictures of cosplayers I found. : D
http://www.cosplay.com/photo/1508606/
Eva cosplayers... D8 HOLY FUCK
http://www.cosplay.com/photo/104432/
Win! ^_^ *thumbs UP!*

GAH GAH GAH SHUT UP PLEEEEEEAASE!!! D8
I was looking up stuff for Eva cosplay (heh, already thinking about it...) and AAAAAAAAAGH SPOILERS EVERYWHAR. D8
I guess because they all assume you MUST have seen Evangelion by NOW, right?

D8

It's like "I was going to cosplay as so and so when this or that-"
[Me] WTF???! *skips ahead*
"And then SO and so..."
Me - GAH SHUT UP! *skips some more*

I might have to finish watching the series before I do any research at this rate. 0_o

BUT... GAH. Ever since seeing how the suits work...

Like at 2:18 - how they effing VACUUM on?! D8
I WANT ONE. D8
NEVER MIND THE FACT IT'S SKIN TIGHT, I WANT ONE. DDDDD8
I've always thought they looked badass. Even since I was like... 8 or whatever, when I first saw pictures from the show.

XD XD XD Aw man, I'm nerding out so hard. I've always wanted to see this show...
Dammit, I'm so sorry I was dozing off watching it Friday. D8 I was trying so hard not to. D8 D8

AH - but I DON'T want it to be one of those damn vinyl/pleather ones I keep seeing. XD That... just doesn't seem like that's the material it would be. They're pretty sleek looking, but... just no. It's not RIGHT somehow...
ANDDDDDDDD I want ARMOR BITS. D8
But... I don't know how to make them.
Damn...

Don't know which ONE, though... At this point, it could be Asuka, Rei, or Shinji!! XD I think I'll have to pick once I've watched the whole show.
... But I think I'm leaning towards Asuka. XD I've always liked her red outfit more than Rei's, and I don't think I could pull off Rei's extremely reigned-in [emotionally] attitude...

D8 But DAMN, they're all so skinny! D8 WHUT.
Though... really... even though I'm not that skinny, I think I could pull it off. Oddly. 0_o I.. always thought I was just a little chubby or chunky - I'm short and stout, lol.. I mean, I'm not tall and thin. But I never, EVER, thought of myself as 'skinny' - until one of Erin's friends said "Get your skinny ass in the car! XD" To which I was like 'lolwut.' So... yeah. 0_0 What.
I looked in the mirror, and if I suck in my gut (as far as it will go XD) I saw that yes, the costume IS possible. Even without the sucking in of the gut, I'm pretty okay.
...
WHAT?!
Maybe climbing 4 flights of stairs 3 or 4 times a day is starting to pay off. 0_0


And now, for some interesting stuff I found on Wikipedia about the show's production..
( Read more... )

Can't be coherent, so I won't try. XD

A list of things I just wanted to say. XD About life...?

Hellsing Raws...
Animation extension
Spending too much money D :
xxxHOLIC!! D8
NIN - FREE ALBUM!!! The Slip
Canoeing
Religulous
Jesus=horus? LOLWUT???/Zeitgeist
Evangelion isn't crazy yet
Taxi Driver!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama people & LARPers. XD
CYLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONS!!!!!

( Psssst- in here )
Ok, that's all for tonight. XD Busy busy busy! XD I feel busy! Oh so busy!~

HOLY SHEEEEEEEEEEET. XD

Copypasta'ed and edited from IM's, because I'm being lazy!!! IN MY HOLY CRAPNESS!!!

JUST when I was saying I couldn't really work right now.... Toys R Us, that I applied for back in the summer, writes to me finally. D:

They're like 'hey, we need people for the holiday season- reapply plz!' They need people for the holidays - so hell, I'm going to apply for that shit. XD XD XD

Though, thinking about it, I'm like 'hmmmmmmmmmmm... rabid parents at christmastime.....''

But, hey. 10% DISCOUNT ON ALL MERCHANDISE. 8D !!! HELLLLZ YEAH.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEEEN!!!!" <--- Anderson voice.

I'd be applying for this shit RIGHT NOW!! if it weren't for the fact that their site HATES MACS IRRATIONALLY. Well, maybe not irrationally. But MY Mac plays nice... :< Anyway.
So, a couple hours in the computer lab this week? I think so. : D

VERI NAISU!!! XD

OK.

Also... I'm beginning to see more and more of my flaws more clearly. : / Of being too quiet, too passive, too indecisive, etc. It's becoming like the fucking theme of the episode. XD AND stressing out and checking things too much, and worrying over shit that doesn't matter... XD BUT- instead of letting this get me down, I've got to stop letting it fuck with me royally. I mean, really. It's not getting me anywhere. It's just making me worse.
So, I'm going to step on toes.
I'm going to impose on people.
I'm so sorry if I do. XD
But it needs to be done.

I have to learn to be a bit of a jerk once in awhile, I guess. Still be conscious of other people, but I have to take a stand once in awhile. Jesus Christ.

But-

I REFUSE TO BE YOU. OR HOW YOU START OUT BEING, ANYWAY. BECAUSE THAT IS HOW I AM. AND I NEED TO STOP.
I WILL MAKE FRIENDS. (hah, has made some, but still.)
I WILL APPLY FOR A JOB.
I'm going to impose.
I'm sorry if my hedgehog needles poke some of you guys. But I'm risking getting poked myself.

'Pardon the intrusion.'

I... I feel like I'm remembering so much.
Like I've unlocked something.
AAAAAAAAAAGH PSYCHOLOGICAL ANIMEEEEEEE. XD

But anyway - that quote...
Erin was pointing out the NERV logo to us this evening:

And that quote hit me like a ton of bricks.

There's no reason it should bother me this much, but it does.
( My thoughts on the quote, religion, Perfect Blue, Evangelion, and so much psychology... XD )
