MY LIFE: an update
26 Mar 2009 21:50![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
shichahnSaturday, Dar and I went for a brief but enjoyable hike in the gorge. :D There was an epic barn and lots of pretty wildflowers. I will eventually remember to post pictures.
And then there was fail, because I lost my cell phone. Woe. That thing was ancient and so very durable.
On Tuesday, I went to sponsor Wayne's house so he could sign my NAFA (North American Falconer's Association) application, and pick up a bunch of falconry magazines. And I learned that Sinker would, the next morning, be departing for New Hampshire. Yes, sob, no more silly little hybrid. He is going to live with a falconer up there who will use him for educational purposes, which I think is best for him at this point, given his bad eye and tendency toward seizures. He's a very sweet guy, and will do well in education, I'm sure.
Got home to find my mom and dad with my dog Lucy, who was having a seizure, speaking of. :( She's getting on toward the end of her life, and I guess this was just one more sign. We took her to the emergency animal clinic and she stayed there overnight. They did a blood test and couldn't find anything immediately wrong, so it's hard to say what caused it, but my unprofessional opinion is that it's just old age, basically. She's okay now, although her back legs are really weak and she seems to have lost most of the vision in her right eye. So. I don't know.
And then today, I finally got out and got a new cell phone. Same number and all, but I need you guys who have my number to call me so I can add you to my address book. Just do it after 9 PM PDT, if you can. Free minutes and all. It's basically the latest version of my old phone, so that's good. Thing lasted me ages so hopefully this one will too. I need to figure out what my new phone ornament will be, since Armor!Al is probably off on the Tom McCall Preserve somewhere. Or perhaps in that pasture where we jumped the fence to go look at the epic barn.
First up is that character meme.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hyper_amychao tagged me for Shadow:
1. Do you like this character?
Yes. Yes I do. Even though he's a bastard. ... Probably because of it, actually.
2.What name/s do you call this character?
Just Shadow, although at some point someone started calling him Mr. Grumpypants and it kinda stuck.
3.What image/color do you associate with this character?
Because I've been thinking about Taoist symbolism in SA2 again, the moon. Also, for colors, black and red. LOL SHOCKER.
4.What image-song do you associate with this character?
Okay well technically he doesn't have any image songs, although I'm sure Koji Yusa can sing. But he does have a bunch of official songs related to him, and I... associate all of them with him because I'm supposed to? I'm really not sure what the point of this question is. I guess my favorite of his is Waking Up, because Julien-K are excellent. A2's The Chosen One is fun, too, if a bit, uh, way too emo. If Julien-K did a cover of Throw It All Away, it would probably be my favorite.
5.What blood-type do you think this character is?
Seeing as how a hedgehog, especially one with introduced alien genes, would not have a human blood type... :p
But, uh, I know this is asking for the personality thing. Really, though, if he did somehow have a human blood type, it would be the same as Maria's, for the obvious medical purposes that were behind his initial creation anyway. So, A, because that's what she would be. Apparently.
6.Of all of the titles that this character appears in, what character do you like to put this character with?
I love Sonic/Shadow. I really do. Sob. But I pair him with just about everyone, really. I just especially love the stupid snark between those two.
7.What would you want to say to this character?
Oh dear god if this were Econtra!Shadow in particular... I'd like to have a word or two with him. >:/
But, that aside, let's see. I.. would probably end up interviewing him on a variety of stupid little questions that would enable me to RP him more faithfully. Like, favorite food, what he does in his spare time, etc. Not that he'd put up with that for long.
8.What do you want to do with this character:
Hug him. He needs one even if he won't admit it. :)
Okay, andgrafittimoon and tsusilver tagged me for Maria.
1. Do you like this character?
Yes. :D
2.What name/s do you call this character?
Maria. Yeah that's all.
3.What image/color do you associate with this character?
As with this question above, the sun. Also, gold and light blue.
4.What image-song do you associate with this character?
She has none. Not even official songs that are not image songs. Non-official non-image songs, however, include Harbor by Vienna Teng and For Martha by the Smashing Pumpkins (although that's more Shadow to Maria, that one) and I'm Your Moon by Jonathan Coulton.
5.What blood-type do you think this character is?
A, although the whole blood type as personality thing ticks me off in general.
6.Of all of the titles that this character appears in, what character do you like to put this character with?
Um, typically, none. I mean, Shadow/Maria in a cute fluffy crush sort of way is kind of adorable, but I tend to prefer thinking of them as siblings. They seem to regard each other like that, anyway.
7.What would you want to say to this character?
I want to ask her about life on the ARK, omg so cliche but seriously, that's cool. Also, I'm a whore, and would ask a bunch of questions about Shadow because I want more backstory damnit.
8.What do you want to do with this character:
Take her sightseeing! :D
And then lastly,shinyget tagged me for GLaDOS XD
1. Do you like this character?
Yes omg XD
2.What name/s do you call this character?
GLaDOS. Yep.
3.What image/color do you associate with this character?
White and purple? Dunno why. She seems purple to me.
4.What image-song do you associate with this character?
SHE ACTUALLY HAS ONE. Still Alive.
5.What blood-type do you think this character is?
>:p Computers do not have blood. But she is very much a B, which is a bad thing for your company computer to be.
6.Of all of the titles that this character appears in, what character do you like to put this character with?
... Well, I don't. But GLaDOS/turret is sort of dom/sub and GLaDOS/Weighted Companion Cube is totally non-con. ... wat.
7.What would you want to say to this character?
So, what's next? ;D
8.What do you want to do with this character:
RUN IN FEAR. Keep her and her deadly neurotoxin away from me, please.
Umm, I'm tired and don't feel like tagging anyone. Lawl. Yep.
