Pain in the Right Hypochondria
I hate how everything falls on me in the beginning of the week to the point where I can't bring myself to do much of anything useful for the rest of the week. (And I'm going to have to spend another weekend writing a paper again). My excuse right now for doing nothing is that... umm... I'm practicing my aural comprehension of French by watching (listening to, right now) the French dub of the Cowboy Bebop movie. And... well, that's weird of me, but oh well. It's also part of my giant experiment to figure out what works in voice acting and what doesn't. So far my main answer is "not English." Might be because in other languages I'm spending more time figuring out what they're saying than paying attention to how they're acting... but somehow I doubt it. (Because sometimes English does work.) I think... peut-être, j'ai une chose pour les accents. Ahhh, les accents. Les langues entiers. Mmm. Les langues que je ne peux pas comprendre entierment. C'est un bonne chose, 本当に (the internet gives me 本とう. I love how babelfish says that's "the book you question." My limited knowledge insists that the first one is more right... though I want to put -ni on the end of it for some reason, because... I do. And I don't know why, except that's how I hear it in my head). All right, enough of me randomly mixing langugaes badly. (At least this isn't first year where... whoa, that was first year. Anyway... when I had to make up a language for something I was writing in class that ended up being a mix of French and romanized Japanese. 変です, je pense. (Yeah, there's no way I'm figuring out imperfect tense in Japanese right now, I think we'll stick to present tense).)
Ahh... I was going to sit here and write about random things. It looks like I've accomplished this, though that wasn't the random thing I was going to write about at all. (That exploit led me to open up the character map. The sheer number of kanji in this list hurts my brain, and makes me somewhat glad I'm not planning any formal education in Chinese or Japanese any time soon, though by the end of the year I may know phoenetically how to yell at my mom in Mandarin).
And, just so you know, 火 is cool. Not that I'm a pyro or anything. Hehe, wouldn't it be annoying if I threw random kanji into everything? Actually, between my bad French and bad Japanese, I could probably come up with a really, really annoying code to write in. (I think that'd pretty much keep anyone from ever reading this, hmm?) Oooh, and I like 焱. It's like... two fires. With a stretched-out fire on top. 煛 is also interesting... because it's like... eye-eye on top of stretched out fire. (It took me a while on those, I forgot that bright or whatever has the little accent on the top). I think I just broke babelfish with 炾, though (fire brother?), because it gave me an English translation that... was just the kanji again. (Something tells me I've wandered far into ones that no one uses...) 焛 looks like... well, it's fire inside gates. So who knows. How on earth did I manage to find so many of these with fire in them? That's it... closing the character map now before I break the internets.
Hey look! 燚 It's four fires! (Yon ho? Kekeke... oh, that's horrible. I'm sorry. I should be shot. "HARK! Yon ho!" Hehehehe.)
(Once again, I totally apologize to those whose language I am heartlessly abusing. And I probably didn't need to up the font size on all the kanji, but dude, I could't read them, so whatever.)
I get distracted really easily. But at least I'm doing better than I was last night (heh). Like I told Sketchy, sometimes it just hits midnight and I'm behind on things and I just freak out. So yay for that. Oh, and you know what I discovered in Screenwriting? (Back on Wednesday because I've been slacking off on writing about actual things). You know my evil plan involving role-playing plots and my screenwriting class, and confusing the crap out of people? Yeah. Someone beat me to it. (Though I will bet you many dollars that it's D&D-based). Freaking dorks! It amused me when everyone in class at once confirmed for the professor that, yes Cake was a band. I got yelled at for saying things that couldn't be known yet, though. I could've argued my way out of one of them, but the other was more a problem of how I describe action through... not-action. For some reason in my mind writing "that she is overly fond of" translates to "holds on to constantly." But obviously that means I should've written "holds on to constantly." The whole "air of an assassin" thing really meant "poise" but I see no reason I can't describe that as "assassin-like", just because she actually turns out to be an assassin. You can see when someone has the "air of an assassin", non? Of course you can. They're aloof and unnecessarily graceful and stuff. I wasn't about to write "unnecessarily graceful." I guess the idea is, if your character is going to turn out to be an assassin (along with her two friends, one of which kind of became a female Samurai7-Heihachi while you weren't paying much attention, only with coffee beans instead of rice) you're not allowed to say "assassin." Maybe "supermodel". I guess a supermodel would have the same sort of unnecessary grace an assassin would. Only I'm always worried the really tall skinny ones are going to topple over, and you can't have assassins toppling over, because then they FAIL.
So, you know what I randomly realized today as I was walking across the quads in the rain distracting myself from thinking about the mountain of homework I have by plotting pointless things? The really rather wonderful thing about rping in general is that, right now, no matter how bad school and life get for me, at least I don't have an evil possessed suit of armor who wants me dead and is blackmailing a one-armed boy from an alternate future to blow up a bar in order to do it. Take that, real life! Chew on that one for a while!Just... don't try to outdo it. Please.
