brandi should wrap herself in bubble wrap

I love Ritchie and Keira so much already. They crack me up. :D And then, as I was reading notalwaysright tonight, I saw this one, which is SO TOTALLY THEM.

( Application. )

If I were to app another character at EL, would anyone wanna bulk-app with me? I'm kinda thinking I want a bickering-couple or bickering-roommates kinda thing, since Sally's just SO DARN NICE and Emma's just SO DARN HIPPIE-LIKE, I need someone who's argumentative. And possibly a bit bitchy. And also someone who's not a Hufflepuff, since both Sally and Emma are Puffles. Branching out: I cans do it.

Am I a mean player for taking delight in the fact that Sally just completely hates herself for everything she wrote yesterday? That was really fun, tbh. And I think that her getting all that out was good for her, since she's been keeping it all bottled up inside. Though she really would have preferred to get all that out in a slightly less public way. xD Which just made it more fun.

I need to update Emma, too. She doesn't have any Big Issues like Sally does, so I left her out of the fun yesterday, but I need to poke her to update about something else. She keeps informing me that she's not a very journal-writing type of person. *pokes her*

Somebody plz to help me remember when I get home that I want to upload more icons, since I have a paid account, courtesy of the Anonymous Angel of Awesomeness, which means I have more icon slots.

Stolen from several awesome people:

If your character could go back and change any one decision in his or her life, which would it be?

( Current characters. )

If you wanna know about any of my past characters, comment (specify the game, in the case of multiples) and I'll add theirs. :)

OMG, Lari and Laura, I TOTALLY FAIL. I'll reply to our logs tomorrow, hopefully, if I'm feeling better and more coherent. I'M SORRY I SUCK.

LOOK I USE A CUTE KITTY ICON. YOU CANNOT BE MAD IF I USE A CUTE KITTY ICON.

So, I know that what everyone on my friendslist here wants to do more than ANYTHING ELSE is check out TOTALLY AWESOME GAMES, rite? Well it JUST SO HAPPENS that I have TOTALLY AWESOME GAMES to pimp. And I'm pimping them in alphabetical order because I'm OCD like that. XD

Firstly, applecreek (via acsh_mods). Modded by moonshoes and starsgoblue. Set in Apple Creek (fictional town), Louisiana. All the characters are based off various literary characters (mine is based on Holden Caulfield's sis from Catcher in the Rye). It's currently summer vacation, which really just means summer jobs and vacations and parties and all sorts of other fun that teenagers have when they're not stuck in school for nearly eight hours a day. There's still plenty of premades open, including Oliver Twist, Cyrano de Bergerac, Heathcliff, Maid Marian, and others.

Secondly, _bollocks_ (via topbollocks). Modded by lupinesque. It's a MWPP-era game set in their fifth year, but instead of being all WAR! DEATH! DARKNESS! it's all FUN! LAUGHS! LIGHT-HEARTEDNESS! And it's TOTALLY FUN too. Currently only accepting holds / applications for male characters, due to the domination of the femmes, but there's plenty of AWESOME guys open. For example, there's only TWO fourth years in the game ... PERIOD. You know you want to pick up someone like Barty Crouch, Jr., or John Dawlish, or Barry Ryan. Or in fifth year, there's Ernie MacMillan's dad, Troy (the future Irish National Team Chaser!), Evan Rosier, Broderick Bode, etc. Sixth year has Zacharias Smith's father (and surely his future wife wants her future husband around!), Gideon Prewett, Xeno Lovegood, and Amycus Carrow. Seventh year still has Caradoc Dearborn, Dedalus Diggle, Edgar Bones, Katie Bell's dad, Fabian Prewett, Gawain Robards, Lucius Malfoy (another one who is desperately wanted by his future wife!), and Ludo Bagman. And that's not even half of the open cast to pick from!

Thirdly, euphorialane (via euphoriamod). Modded by racetrack and her band of merry mods. It's a trio-era HBP-compliant post-war game set on Euphoria Lane, a street off Diagon Alley. There are plenty of canon names available to be pulled out of the Lexicon and dropped onto the Lane. Dawn has an awesome list here of names. This game has been around for over a year now and it's full of wild and crazy fun. There are monthly calendars of events happening on the Lane, which has recently included both gender-swapping and age-changing days. There's never really a boring time to be had on the Lane.

Fourthly, senioryearrp (via senioryearmod). Modded by khushalecki. It's a PSL set in Pine Hills, Albany, New York, centered around a group of students (premades) who are just about to start their senior year of high school in the fall. There are plenty of premades still open, but we especially need BOYS. Particularly boys who might date my girl Jenny, who's a serial dater and tease who is frequently dumped by her boyfriends for not putting out. The game started a couple weeks ago, but it's really low-key. There's no activity guidelines, it's just fun.

Finally, thelastyear. Modded by nuit and aesthete. Trio-era DH-compliant game set in, as the game's name suggests, the trio's seventh year. While Harry, Hermione, and Ron are off doing that whole horcrux thing, everyone else was at school doing school-stuff. The game focuses more on those stuck in school than the trio, though RON IS OPEN. Harry is already taken and Hermione is held, but NOBODY WANTS RON. Poor ickle ronniekins. We also have plenty of other boys open, including Ernie, Zach, and Crabbe, plus plenty of OCs or near-OCs. There are quite a few girls open, as well, but the game needs more boys! (However, my girl Isla would like to make a plea for her remaining roomies in the Ravenclaw 5th year dorm, and just other fifth years in general!) The game opens on the first (it'll be September 1st for the kiddos), so go app now and be there when it starts!

So, EL this weekend has fondly reminded me of one of my favorite books.

To quote Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal:

I have to admit that I felt some sympathy for the scarecrow, although I don't believe I would have been singing about the lack of a brain. In fact, amid all the musical laments over not having a heart, a brain, or the nerve, did anyone notice that they didn't have a penis among them? I think it would have shown on the Lion and the Tin Man, and when the Scarecrow had his pants destuffed, you don't see a flying monkey waving an errant straw Johnson around anywhere, do you? I think I know what song I'd be singing:

Oh, I would while away the hours,
Wanking in the flowers, my heart all full of song,
I'd be gilding all the lilies as I waved about my willie
If I only had a schlong.

... isn't there some Wizard of Oz stuff coming up soon in EL, too? XD

Check it out, I'm actually apping a Slytherin. This will be Slytherin Number Five (don't believe me?), which means that if I ever play another Slytherin after her, I will no longer be able to say that I can count the number of Slytherins I've played on one hand.

( I blame Laura, because she actually made me start thinking about picking up Thalia way back when I was first thinking about rejoining EL. )

Btw! Anyone wanna plot with me and Thalia?

Late to the game and all that, but ... for the EL genderswap:

Matilda Dukelow --> My Boyfriend John Cusack, y/n?

I have my entire application done. Except one eensy weensy part.

.... someone give me a prompt for the sample?


(... if it helps with giving me a sample, she's 33, single mother of a toddler, and works in the ministry. and a Harpies fan.)

So .... guess what!

I'm almost done with my new!EL!character's application! :D All that's left is the sample, and I need to come up with a journal name for her, but otherwise it's done!

I may go back and see if I can make the childhood part of her history more concise, because it's kinda long, lol (omg 946 words). I just couldn't help it! Writing about her parents (particularly her dad) was just too much fun, since I used to play her dad when she was four. I had to tweak some of his history so that it would work in canon outside of the game he was in, but it all still flows nicely with the character of the dad as I'd played him. I'd never really given too much thought to the mom, though, so it was kinda nice to add in her side of the story.

Anyway! YOU ALL THOUGHT YOU WERE RID OF ME. YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE TO GO BACK IN THE WATER THE LANE. BUT I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK. Or will be soon. Hopefully.


(btw, I blame Laura for this. And the rest of you, too, for all your constant talk about EL and chat and MAKING ME MISS IT LOTS AND LOTS. But mostly Laura.)

( Matilda Dukelow. )

Verity is a little pink sugary marshmallow puff thing. XD

Plot with meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I'm actually picking up a GUY SHOCK OF SHOCKS. TAKE ADVANTAGE. (also, how wrong is it that one of my characters is checking out another one of my characters? >>)

( Proudfoot application for EL )

Stolen from .... everyone. XD What my characters want for Christmas. May be subject to change as I get more creative. >> As it is, I TOTALLY SUCK at Christmas shopping for even my own characters. Alphabetized by first name within the game.

Okay, so.

In EL chat last night, I randomly commented that I should bring a stripper character into the game. I wasn't even being wholly serious at that point. But then the more we talked / joked about it, the more I actually kind of liked the idea.

So I'm going to be apping a stripper at EL. >>

kitten_patronus: Dawn, can I app a stripper at EL? XD
racetrack: LOL
moonshoes: only if you use me for the pb
racetrack: Brandi, if you picked up a skanky, slutty stripper, I'd be a happy camper
kitten_patronus: ... srsly?
racetrack: And use Jamie for the PB
racetrack: Well, yeah. But you'd have to play her! She'd have to be a homewrecker!
moonshoes: i don't kno...w i'm kind of overused :/
racetrack: Trying to weasel her way onto the laps of men
moonshoes: know... too
racetrack: (and women)

And so sayeth the mod, so shall it be. XD But Jamie's totally overused, so I'm not gonna use her as a PB. Sorry Jamie.

But so first there was figuring out a character to turn into a stripper. Which I have. Verity, the girl who was working as a shop assistant in WWW during the summer before the trio's sixth year. Is now a stripper. Then came the figuring out of her house.

So this conversation came up between me and Jamie:

kitten_patronus: please tell me that I don't want a Hufflepuff stripper? >>
moonshoes: ahhaha you don't want a hufflefpuff stripper
kitten_patronus: xD
kitten_patronus: I'm having issues with deciding upon a house for Verity. XD
moonshoes: gryffindor!
moonshoes: she has to be.. bold and brave to take it all off?
moonshoes: now THAT is something the sorting hat should sing about
kitten_patronus: Verity the Gryffinhor
kitten_patronus: hahaha
kitten_patronus: someone should write the Stripping Hat song.
kitten_patronus: what qualities in each house are good for strippers. XD
moonshoes: hahha! oh goddd XD
moonshoes: stripping hat XD
kitten_patronus: >> I feel like this is my calling
kitten_patronus: ::goes to write the Stripping Hat song::


And so, without further ado, the Stripping Hat song. In Haiku.

( Bow chikka bow wow. )

I feel vaguely dirty.
