Get thee to betasquad.

I already told you about betasquad and the forums over at seventh-star.net.
Now I've posted Chapter 19 of WDKY at said forums. Which you need to get a password for. Which you can only get by joining the community. So if you haven't get your butt over there and help me edit this monster of a steamed-rice chapter! :O!!!

Spread the word!!!!!!! *squeals and runs away*

Lafayette the school by the ocean...

Okay, the only person I know here on LJ who went to Lafayette Elementary, my "primary" or "grade" school is cutieme4u, but I don't know if you remember who Natalia Benenson is.

I sure as hell do. She was one of my friends (sort of) way back when... We hung out with Denise Rances, Katie Savchuk, and Ella Whose-Last-Name-I-Cannot-Remember! And she was just on The Price is Right. I don't know why I had the bizarre urge to watch it this morning (maybe because I've decided that by getting my license, it will be one more thing I can do that I've ALWAYS wanted to do...) but I did... and there she was. And I knew it was her-- not just her name, but her face, the way she dressed, even her behavior! That and, she's tan. She moved to Arizona for middle school I think, so one can't blame her for getting a bit darker.

Holy crap.

She didn't win though. Alas~! She got stuck playing the poker game, and you know poker-- house always wins. Today's show's prizes were kind of lame, anyway. The best thing in the second half of the show was an ugly hatchback neon yellow Ford Focus. She also went over when it came time to spin the wheel for the Showcase Showdown, and she almost exited the stage from the wrong direction. ^^;

I last saw her on Wheel of Fortune 2000, the kiddy version of the show of the almost-same name. Heh. What's up with Natalia and game shows, anyway? Nonetheless, it was funny to see her again.

Not like I had this awe-inspiring wonderful elementary school experience (anything but, actually), but it made me think-- it's been over 10 years since I graduated elementary school. Why didn't we have some sort of cheeseball reunion this June or something, huh? What's up with that? :P

It's like a Venus Fly Trap. Once it gets ahold of you, you're screwed.

Ah, I never should have signed up for the Literary Guild or the eHarlequin Reader to Reader service. I love books and I love free stuff, but I hate it when the free books stop being free. On the plus side, I got a very pretty plum wineglass that I will probably drink soda out of. But now I apparently owe $23 to eHarlequin for something I did not want, did not order, and already took out of the box. ;_; The books look cool enough, but... >_> There's no way to cancel future shipments on the form... like they SAID there would be. Grr.

I'm still waiting for a shipment of craft books from another service, mind you, but afaik I'm done with their "obligatory purchases."

I also got my PS2 in the mail today... in the exact same box that I sent to Dave@PSX-TECH.com. I enclosed a $15 check; he spent $9.80 on shipping. He couldn't have bought a new box!? Geez. Anyway, I'm kinda-sorta-not-sure if the Crystal Chip is installed like he said... I'm supposed to be able to access some sort of boot screen/boot manager so I can play my burns, imports, etc., but I haven't been able to access it yet. It might be because I don't even have a controller at the moment; I lent them to my uncle Fred, so all I have is a DDR pad. -_-; I need a new controller anyway.

I'd also like to thank anyone and everyone who signed up for 4husorting. ^_^ It made me so happy to see I'm NOT just talking to myself on this LJ...

Anyway, I have to get going to anime club soon... and because I was so durn sleepy earlier, I didn't go with Grandpa to the bank to get money for the guys (which I owe for gas + hotel room from Ben's funeral; try as Phil and Jesse did, we couldn't get out of the EconoLodge bill) or Best Buy to return the Crossover Cable that does Jack Shit. (Speaking of Jack, I would love to play You Don't Know Jack 5th Mix again.)

Even more reason to YAY! (aside from getting WDKY19 done and posted, getting ideas for "The Show Must Go On," and tweaking the sequel to WDKY/CO7 a bit more...) is the fact that my BitComet downloads are almost done, and I'll be able to burn PGSM onto a DVD for Chibi. I'll also have more of FMP: The Second Raid (good material to base your drabble/ficlet off of, mklutz!) the full Shin Kaguya Hime Denetsu Sera Myu musical (my first!), and practically every Ranma song, EVER. :> Whee.
