So I've been on an RP kick. Mostly with preexisting characters.

Now, I've had plenty of headmates before. But they were all my own characters, not other people's. But this RP kick has gotten them just stuck in my head.

My first group is more or less in character: Mohinder Suresh, Claire Bennet, Smellerbee, Koushiro Izumi, and Ty Lee. From there Mohinder and Ty Lee got stuck in my head. Fine, whatever, they're pretty cool so it's okay.

But now I've started this crack CAPSLOCK high school AU where everyone is, well, on crack. I play the school bicycle, Katara. She's done or would like to do nearly everyone in the school. She's discovering all sorts of drugs with Mai, the pothead drum major. AND SHE IS OF COURSE STUCK IN MY HEAD. WTF, crack!Katara. You bring me lulz, but you are slutting up my head. GTFO please.

The Avatar finale was fucking amazing. I was going to write a review but... just go watch it. I don't care if you don't know what's going on, the fight scenes themselves are worth it.

I ALMOST FORGOT.

You all need to go watch DR. HORRIBLE'S SING-ALONG BLOG.

Neil Patrick Harris. Nathan Fillion. Felicia Day. BY JOSS WHEDON. Yes, bitches, it's epic.

THE SOUTHERN RAIDERS airs tonight! It's been awhile since Avatar has actually been new to me, and it better not disappoint. I'm a little sad there was a commercial for it last night, I wanted to go in more or less blind. Oh well, I could tell what it was about from the title anyway. We better learn her name! Is it bad that that's what I want the most, her name? I just think it's weird that we don't know it.

Umm... yeah. My life isn't that exciting. I've been RPing a lot this summer, and at the moment Mohinder and Ty Lee are stuck in my head. It's a party.

I found a cord for the desktop, but it turns out the thing won't turn on anyway. The universe is apparently really against me playing the Sims. Oh well.

This afternoon I finally watched the unaired Heroes pilot. I must say, I'm glad Issac never ended up cutting off his own hand. But I did kind of like Amid. More than Ted Sprague, who never really did it for me.

I think I'm going to rewatch the first season before the third airs.

Also, this commercial just talked about the "Epic Wisconsin Vacation." I lol'd for real.

I haven't really eaten anything yet today, so I think I'm going to do that. I feel in a writing mood, maybe I can finally get that RP entry done that Deej has been nagging at me about. :)

Yesterday, while at my cousin's high school graduation, I had a revelation: I don't think college is for me. I don't feel like I'm achieving anything, and I'd much rather be out in the world doing something. I really want to join the Peace Corps or something similar, but I also really need to finish college first. They want it, and my family would be disappointed if I didn't. Plus I'd be fucked once I came back if I didn't have an education to lean back on. I'm just so sick of formal education. Fifteen years is a really long time, especially since that's 3/4 of my entire life. I can't even remember my first five years when I wasn't being schooled. I just... I hate it. It feels useless and I feel trapped by it. I want to do something real.

...On a lighter note, I've been testing the waters of fanfiction again; I joined a few weekly challenge communities and have written some ficlets for them. I'm certainly enjoying it, but I find myself just kind of writing and not trying to make it good. It's certainly not bad, and people keep commenting all "Oh, it's written so nicely!" but I know I'm not trying very hard. I joined one community where the challenge is to write a fic in 10-20 fandoms centering around the one word of your choice. It's intrigued me the most of everything, but the maintainer seems to not be maintaining at the moment. I think I'll start on them anyway, and just not post them to the community, because it's the one thing that's sparking something at the moment.

Hopefully this will help with my original writing. That was the point, anyway. Even if doesn't, though, I'm enjoying it.

I'm trying to get back into writing again. Working on my Setka universe has been failing, so I'm almost tempted to dip into fanfiction again.

The thing is, I read bad fanfiction for fun. I love it when people have everyone out of character and write horribly otherwise. I'm always afraid that that's what my writing looks like, so I never want to post it. But then I feel like I wrote it for no reason, so I have no drive to write it at all.

Yes, I'm odd.

I think I'll just have to suck it up and deal, though, because I really want to get working on Setka again. I want to finish the main story at some point, but fo realz. I'm just too intimate with the characters to let them die like that. It starts out with three different storylines, only two of them obviously related, and it's the tying them together part that's being difficult. I know what I want to accomplish once I do, it's just the explaining how they all suddenly know each other that I'm having issues with. Hrm. I'm also not sure how to treat the passage of time, because from the beginning to the end (or at least the beginning to the climax) I want there to be approximately 10-15 years. I'm not sure if I want it to be gradual or if I want to be like, "AND THEN TEN YEARS LATER LOL."

I guess I'll figure it out whenever I start working on it again.

Well, one of my secret favorite hobbies is making fanmixes. Because I'm cool. I also really like listening to them, so if any of you know where I could find some good ones let me know. =D

These are fanmixes I'd like to do:

-Bones (Brennan/Booth)
-Bones (Zach)
-Heroes (Hiro)
-Heroes (Mohinder)
-Heroes (Sylar)
-Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Anya)
-Angel (Fred)
-Firefly (Wash)
-Firefly (Book)
-Avatar: The Last Airbender (General)
-Avatar: The Last Airbender (Toph)
-His Dark Materials (Lyra)
-His Dark Materials (Dr. Mary Malone)
-Wicked (Elphaba/Glinda)

I'm also planning a list of people's brains I would like to pick (metaphorically, not like... lobotomize), so look for that soon.
