MarzGurl's Life of Rage (no, really!)

"Hello? Are you there?"

kaylyn_dicksion@yahoo.com — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 01:31:28 GMT

Alright, I was just tweeting about this, but I really need to get this off my chest now.

This is to anyone who already does or is even THINKING about messaging me on any instant messenger programs.

I frequently leave my messengers open, even when I am not at my computer. I like to receive messages, and I always get back to people who have messaged me.

HOWEVER, I
hate
hate
hate
hate
HATE
when people leave messages like, "Hello?" "Are you there?" "Well?"

I mean, I'll admit, sometimes I just let the messages sit there for a while, but I do my best to get back to them. But it's TOTALLY unnecessary to poke and prod at my messengers. I mean, for the love of God, it's a MESSENGER. It isn't the phone. It's not like I picked up the phone to answer your call, and so I'm obviously there, ready and able to respond the instant I hear what you're saying. It's a MESSENGER. You leave me a message, I get it at some point, I respond. Sure, the message might have been SENT instantly, but that doesn't always mean it was RECEIVED instantly.

After all, I ALSO leave up AWAY MESSAGES, or in the instance of Skype, I say, "I leave Skype open all the time, even when I'm not around. I'm sorry if I've missed you. I'll catch you when I get back. Check my online status to determine whether or not I'm really "here"." But they don't pay attention to that either! I change my availability status, but that STILL doesn't seem to matter!

It's a messenger.

I'll see your message when I see it.

GEEZ.

Friends List Pruning

kaylyn_dicksion@yahoo.com — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 21:04:10 GMT

What a shame. I looked over my friends list and found that there were people who had removed me from their mutual friend list some time ago. I guess there's no point to following them anymore. So, I've removed them right back.

Too bad. I have memories of entries and conversations with those people. Really, a shame. :(

LiveJournal Sure is Slow Lately

kaylyn_dicksion@yahoo.com — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:10:03 GMT

I went and read my friends page a little while ago. It's sure slow and empty, compared to what it was one to two years ago. I still have all of those same old friends, but they don't update as much... if at all anymore. That's too bad, and yet, maybe it's better that way...? It's certainly easier to keep up with those who DO still update. Twitter to me has become the same kind of clutter my LiveJournal friends list used to be. I used to friend everybody who shared interest with me. I really can't do that anymore with Twitter. As of this blog, I'm closing in on 700 followers, I get new followers every day, and I just can't follow each one of them. That'd be crazy! I don't mind so much with LiveJournal, since it's being all but abandoned, so it's not nearly as crazy. But I'm leaving the hardcore friending/following to my MySpace account. However, I only friend people there who share my interests, or otherwise give me any reason to be friends with them. I sometimes feel a little bad, every day I get friends requests from someone on Facebook, but I've very much decided to leave Facebook as being a place for mostly people I have physically known, or other people I talk to frequently, or otherwise have business with. I've friended some other people, but it's rare. I posted that I wouldn't be friending everybody on my Facebook wall, but I guess that's since been buried, and maybe people don't see or know or understand that I'm not going to add them. I'm sorry, it's nothing personal. I never once thought it would get to this point, but my monkey-circle has gotten too big, and I quite simply can't include everyone in it. :(

In other news, I've been planning that next trip to Japan for a while now. I'm almost 100% positive that I'll be buying the plane ticket on this next pay check. I always get, like, the exact amount of money I need, and then the bills come, and I'm just a little under again. What the hell? Why can't I ever get past the tiny hurdle I need to be able to make it just to the next pay check after buying the ticket without dying? If I can just not give away my money to bills for one week I'd be good. I think I can do it... I really think I can! Now, to just not buy ANYthing and live on soup for two weeks...

I've slacked in my athletic routine. I had been doing Billy Blanks Tae Bo routines (SHUT UP!) and had actually noticed a difference since I had been performing the routine twice a day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. But I've slacked, and I'm noticing the small roll on my abdomen reappear. Not that I think I'm fat, but rather that I want to PREVENT the fat from appearing. I'm still in normal BMI range, but I'm right at the edge of normal, threatening to spill over to overweight. I really want to prevent that.

I also want to prevent my acne. I ordered a new acne regiment from Neutregena. I had been doing THAT once in the morning and once at night, and I've slipped on that, also. I've been so busy that I've been slacking on some of the most important things. I'll try to start again today and be good about it. I think that if this doesn't work out, it might be a good idea to just man-up and go to the dermatologist again, and this time request information on Accutane. I'm almost 24, and my acne is just about as bad as it's ever been. Except now instead of being at my hair line (my forehead is completely clean somehow), it's my cheeks, upper lip, chin, and just underneath the jawbone that's getting it so hard every day. I really don't understand what's happened. And I don't understand why it hasn't shown any sign of dissipating. To add to being gross, it's always on my back, and sometimes on my chest, too. I think that if I were to work out and sweat some more, I'd find that I'd have less acne. Maybe if I'm just good enough about working out that'll solve both of my problems. Maybe. I just need to be more diligent.

Oh, and I want to take the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) next year. After looking at some sample routines, I am 100% positive that I could pass at least the lowest level of the JLPT. Currently, there are four levels. But next year, they're cranking it up to five levels. So... I MIGHT be able to pass the lowest TWO levels. But I don't have a clue how difficult the test will be. No one really knows. It makes me wonder if I should just wait another year. But, the tests are in December, and I'd have to wait two years. Maybe it's best if I just take the bottom-most level and not worry about the second-to-bottom. Or maybe I should just study so hard that I surpass what the recommendations are. Hard to say what's best now. Either way, I think I'm going to take one next December. Now, another problem is that the test doesn't take place in Texas at all. I could go to places like Seattle, Honolulu, Chicago, etc. to take the test. But there's no testing locations in Texas. I wonder where I should go...?

Ah, and I ALSO want to go to an upcoming Comiket. I don't know when this will happen. Most definitely not this upcoming December one, and almost certainly not next August, and almost just as certainly not the following December since I'll be going to take my JLPT that same month. I almost want to say that I'd like to go to Comiket in August 2011. I hate thinking that far in advance, but reality tells me I must. Dang, I'll be 25 - not a spring chicken, like the other cosplaying kiddos at that event! But, yeah, I want to cosplay. And if I go with a group, I want it to be a themed cosplay. And I want it to be the best quality it can possibly be. So, I was thinking, it'd be funny if the cosplay theme was "American Characters from anime/manga/video games". Get it? An American in Japan cosplaying as an American? DUR HUR! Anyway, I think it'd be a cute joke. There's some friends I'd really like to take along. I haven't really asked anybody yet. And, really, I need to finish thinking about this upcoming trip first, followed by all that JLPT stuff. But I think that by planning for Comiket 2011 I'm putting it far enough in advance that I think even my laziest and most hobo-ish of friends should be able to join me.

Anyway, I have a video to film and edit today. So much work to do!

Fanfiction Authors... offended?

kaylyn_dicksion@yahoo.com — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:52:27 GMT

So, yeah, I've read a good amount of fanfiction lately... a lot of it regarding the That Guy With The Glasses crew. Surprisingly, these authors have quite the good English literacy, and paint a vivid picture of what they want to portray with their words. I wanted to start by saying that these authors have the potential to do great pieces of work on their own.

That having been said, it would appear that this tiny fandom is feeling quite distraught.

Links have appeared on our forums to some said entries, and the authors are panicking that Bennett the Sage will read aloud some of their work for the Internet to hear on an upcoming Masterpiece Fanfic Theater episode (highly likely at this point, considering Bennett said he'd be reading a fanfic that involves everyone at TGWTG).

One author has recently written out an explanation for herself and her group to preempt anyone arriving looking for horrifying TGWTG slash fiction. Honestly, in personal opinion, there should be no need for a fanfiction author to defend themselves, just as any fan art artist or AMV editor should not explain why they portrayed their art the way they did.

Well, allow me to actually first state personal opinions on the fictions, and ones I've been written into.

To me, they are harmless, although incredibly humorous. Especially since we all appear to always be in the same place at the same time or paired together in situations that quite obviously would never happen. Hey, it's called fan fiction for a reason, you know. I mean, think of it this way - the lot of us are scattered across the United States, and some of us across the world. Some can't drive. Most still live at home with their parents (Doug included, if I recall correctly). Some have no job other than the videos gig (which, believe you me, won't pay the bills UNLESS you're Doug). So, as you can see, getting to one other to begin with is... well... quite difficult. Then the pairings that occur in these things are the same sort of humorous pairings you get in any fandom. Rivals is suddenly a keyword for "secret butt-buddy", characters who never appear with one another suddenly have a great deal to do with one another, and so on. It's nothing unusual, and you can see it coming from a mile away. And while harmless, as you can imagine, as it relates so closely to me, while some scenes should probably feel more dramatic than they do, I find myself laughing a great deal, and then moving on. Obviously, it's just outrageous fiction.

Though, I think if names like "Spoony" and "Linkara" were replaced with names of characters of the author's own creation, it might suddenly be twice as serious to someone like me. But then, you risk the chance of no one wanting to read your piece, because you're building a story based on expecting your readers to already have an understanding of who the characters are and how they already behave.

But then... do you WANT it to be read by a mass audience?

Herein lies the question. Because it would appear that, while the authors make their fiction publicly available, they... DON'T want people to read it...? Or perhaps it's just that they don't want it spread around as though it's some kind of virus. That's understandable, though that wasn't quite what was stated. And the authors would rather we didn't know about their pieces. I'm sorry... I guess you're a little late for me. ^_^; All I'm saying is, it's very easy to make your entries private, among one another. That could be done, right? But surely, you want others to read it to a certain extent, or else you wouldn't make them public. For example, I'm completely not concerned about the things I write publicly. The only reason why I privatized my LiveJournal entries from years 2004 through 2006 was because it would appear that I offended my own parents enough that it needed to be done, as it was causing home-life turmoil ever since I left home. Honestly, I didn't personally care, and as you can see, I HAD left those entries public (and had been quite proud of how open to the public I've been) for a good five years. But there are some cases, such as my own, where the heat is on too much, and if it matters to you this much, you bite the bullet and privatize your entries.

So, I have to ask in this situation, what's more important? Being a part of this tiny niche group? Or letting the world read your work?

It's honestly a tough call. If you're all that embarrassed, it's probably a good idea to make the entries private and visible to your group alone. However, if you want your work to be seen, you'll need to understand one harsh reality -

Not everyone will be pleased with your work.

As with ALL of my work that I've ever initially posted, even if they were taken poorly by the mass public, I never removed them. I promise, I KNOW my work is not the best. I try to improve every day. But with each video I post there's always a select few who will say, "Why do you continue to make videos?" People will make personal jabs at me as a human being. They'll make fun of my acne, my voice, my looks overall. But I rest well knowing one thing.

This is the Internet.

When you make a work public, it's available to absolutely everyone around the world. My skin has taken years to toughen to its harsh reality, and sometimes I slip back into depression or feel personally injured. But then I remember, who do I make my work for? It's for the people who constantly DO come back for more, and most importantly, I do it for MYSELF.

So, just ask yourself one question.

Does writing what you do make you happy?

If it does, what does it matter who reads it? What does it matter what people think of it? I mean, I can promise someone will make fun of it. I can promise someone won't like it. And I can promise someone will be very loud about it. But now it's for you to decide.

Does their opinion even really matter?

Still not good enough.

kaylyn_dicksion@yahoo.com — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 18:12:22 GMT

OK, so 2005 isn't far back enough. Privatizing 2004 also per parental request.

Looks like I'm disowned at this point. Try and fix something and it's all wrong.

Privating Old Entries

kaylyn_dicksion@yahoo.com — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:14:04 GMT

Because of "shameful" things I wrote in my LiveJournal as much as five years ago, I am privating/friends-only-ing ALL of my 2005 and 2006 entries. I can't possibly get it all done in one night. Just working on January 2005 alone took me something like half an hour, and I can't seem to mass-friends-only these posts, or else I would.

All I have to say is, if anybody's Googling me and comes across what I have to say about my parents when I was, like 18, then don't F-ing judge my parents, judge me, the retarded, stubborn-headed, life-ruining daughter.

I don't THINK people are regularly reading that far back and assuming the worst about my family, but my mom and dad seem to think so, and they're none too pleased.

MY FAMILY IS WONDERFUL. FUCK OFF.

Devious Journal Entry

Here I Am (Rock You Like A Hurricane?)

kaylyn_dicksion@yahoo.com — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 15:01:06 GMT

So, okay, I'm going to try working on my LiveJournal again. Part of the reason why I hadn't been updating my LiveJournal is because LJ has been blocked at work. I had been aiming for a long time NOT to upgrade to LiveJournal PLUS because I always said I didn't want adds in my journal if it could be avoided. Well, I think I've gotten to a point where it can't be avoided. As strange as it may sound, I don't really have time to update my LJ while at HOME, and have more time to do it while at WORK. Upgrading to PLUS allows me to post to LJ via my E-mail, which is convenient for me. I had been using Twitter for a long time to make little updates because, hey, at least it was accessable while at work. But really, I much prefer a blog.

For those of you who are really just catching me over here at LJ and have found me through ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com, welcome. You're going to find my tripe rather boring. This journal has been here for over five years now, and is mostly personal babble. You're welcome to read back over the course of those five years, but I think you'll find that I was rather childish, unfun, and plainly annoying in nature. You've been warned. Perhaps it's best that you just start reading forward from here and don't look back...? ^_^; I think my personality has greatly changed, and I think I am a different person than I was five years ago, or even a little over a year ago. If you're looking for something a little more... eh... fun? or more professional? then you may want to look into my latest WordPress blog: http://marzgurl.wordpress.com/ I'm considering turning the WordPress site into a sort of centralized location for all of my nternet-related
things. There's also my Twitter, which everyone seems to think of as some kind of stupid MarzGurl news ticker, but anyway: http://www.twitter.com/MarzGurl

Well... do I really have any news to report? I have been battling some severe depression recently. I have not taken any medications for it, and I do not plan to do so, because it is my firm belief that most depression can be cured just by being in the right place with the right people, and no amount of medication could replace that. When I'm in atmospheres like that, all of my troubles disappear. But I drop into sadness pretty quickly afterward when I'm not there. I don't know when or if I will ever be fully cured. But I will keep struggling to get to that point. I hope I can make it.

I've applied to take classes at the University of Phoenix online. I will PROBABLY get accepted. I'm sure it would be hard not to be. Despite all my other desires, I think I'm going to go for a teaching degree. The reason I say this is because I've really decided that I want to move my life to Japan one day (as weeaboo as that sounds). But I'll need security once I get there. And so I will want to be certified in teaching English. That way I can maximize the cash inflow once I get to that point. Quite obviously, I am planning for the long run. As nice as it would be to just pack up and go, I am not unrealistic, and I know that going right away would be dumber than dumb. Later on, I DO still want to do mass communication, or journalism, something that will help me do what I'm essentially already doing with TGWTG now. But teachers will always have jobs all over the world. I will always have something to fall back on. It's funny,
that's what my parents always told me, and I always was just kinda, "Meh," but now I suddenly feel DRIVEN to get that security taken care of. Due to having very little money and not being able to take out a loan to save my life, I will probably be nearly DEAD by the time I get a degree in ANYthing, but knowing I'm working at it makes me feel a little better.

I'm working on new video projects. I'm running into all kinds of problems. I want good quality audio and video. But the biggest problem is the camera. It's TERRIBLE! I was told that the video producers for TGWTG might be given a care package with some new equipment, and that I should hold off on buying something new, but I haven't seen that just yet. I'm feeling a little discouraged. Other than my incredibly stiff personality on camera, these audio and video problems are a lot of the biggest complaints I see. What do do? I need money to get a new camera, I think. That's all there is to it. I want my videos to make me money. But Blip only pays quarterly, meaning I still need my full time job. And since I have a full time job, that means less time to work on videos. This is counter-productive, and backwards from what I WANT to be doing. I want the videos to be my full-time job. What to do? I need money to make videos...

So, I've been making some ebay sales. Here's my current listings: http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/marzgurl_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_ipgZ25
There's some yaoi, some anime, some plushies, some gaming-related stuff in there... the Mario plush and the DS NERF case are the hottest items right now! ~_^ If anyone can give these items a good home, I'd really appreciate the extra help. There's less than a day left on these items, so bid please! I'll have some others going up in the future, too, so keep an eye out for more sales. I'll always notify the public of what goes up there.

I'm not certain of any more conventions I'm going to this year. I've already attended Ikkicon, KamiKazeCon, and the ScrewAttack Gaming Convention. I'll also be attending the Penny Arcade Expo in September, making that my first out-of-state conventinon trip. If any of you readers will be there, I'd really like to be in some friendly company!

Well... basically I just want to become the best online content producer I can possibly be. I want to be entertaining and informative. I want to move away from comedic reviews. I'm not comedy, and I'm not an actor. I'm totally not good at that. I want to talk about more conventions, be more pro at it than I used to be. Maybe comment on some news? Maybe that's what TGWTG needs... some animation news. I don't know. Last thing I want to do is create content that appears unoriginal. If anyone has any ideas they wouldn't mind passing along my way, I'd actually really appreciate it.

Still waiting on the team over at ScrewAttack to give me information on the arrival of my arcade cabinet. I'm hesitant to contact them and bother them. But I won that machine fair and square, right? I'm just hesitant...

Thanks for reading after so long, you guys. Take care!

Good News among the Bad News

Bootlegs-R-Us

kaylyn_dicksion@yahoo.com — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 06:47:08 GMT

Check out some sales from this person: http://japanesecandy06.livejournal.com/

Specifically, here's their link to their DVD sales: http://rainblood.com/crustration/japanesecandy/anime.htm

Just... oh my God, the Holy Grail of bootlegs. I was first alerted to this when I was going through my Friends List and communities, and I found a post by this user advertising some amazing Death Note collection.

Episodes 1 - 37, one single disc. Not to mention, the box art does not exist on any legitimately released Death Note DVD. Also, Japanese Language audio/English subs? Never release that way, not to mention Japan doesn't do that (China sure does like to, though!). Region 1? No. MPEG-2? No. Not legitimate.

Looking at other DVDs, like certain Live-Action stuff available here. One of them, I was able to read a little. The English description on the back of the box was QUITE terrible, barely even readable.

Oh, but here was what was particularly the kicker to me... here's their release of Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne:

Episodes 1 - 44, Japanese language audio/English subs... you know, Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne was NEVER released in the US (or any English speaking country as far as I know). But... wait, what's that down at the bottom of the back of the box...?

Do you see that...? Disney's castle logo? Pixar!? Since when did Pixar ever do anything while teamed up with Disney that was NOT CGI animated? WOW, that's bad!

Okay... I'm done ranting and raving about this for now.

Bad news

kaylyn_dicksion@yahoo.com — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 16:50:11 GMT

I dropped my phone in the toilet. Yep, you heard right, in the toilet. It worked okay at first. There didn't appear to be any harm done to it. It worked when I fell asleep. But now, the phone won't turn on. Some lights blink a little when I try. That's about the best I have. I'm pretty mad at myself. Actually, ironically, earlier last night I was fantasizing about smashing my phone into the ground as soon as I got off of work. But by later that night I had decided against it. Looks like God got the better of me, though, huh?

So, yeah, if you need me you'll probably have to send me an IM or an E-mail. With any luck I'll be able to transfer the data to another older Sprint phone I have without paying out of pocket to get a whole new phone.

God, I hate myself.

PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE!

kaylyn_dicksion@yahoo.com — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 08:02:56 GMT

If you haven't read lately or done so already, I could still use some votes from you!

Please vote for me as the Nostalgia Chick!

http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/site-news/general-updates/1455-nostalgia-chick-bob-winners--more

Register and comment saying, "I CHOOSE KAYLYN!" Or something along those lines. A reason why you liked my video would be good, too.

Again, here's my video.

Please voice your opinion for me in the Nostalgia Chick Contest

kaylyn_dicksion@yahoo.com — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 16:16:48 GMT

So, you may remember that I posted a video that I made trying out for the role of the "Nostalgia Chick" (if not, please watch my video here).

There is essentially a "voting" of sorts taking place. Basically, there is no simple poll. You simply voice your opinion in the comments section of the article, and your opinions will get "considered" by the site administrators. Out of the Top 5 girls, if you were to tally the comments, I'm currently in what I guess you could call "2nd Place". But I still think I could win if I could just generate a few more comments.

So, if you thought my video was worthy of Nostalgia Chick, I encourage you to please make an account at http://www.thatguywiththeglasses.com (I promise it's fast and free) and after that, please comment here saying I WANT KAYLYN (after, you know, viewing the other videos, of course).

I appreciate all the help I can get!

Nostalgia Chick Entry

So, the Nostalgia Critic is having this contest and he is looking for the Nostalgia Chick. I made an entry. I'm not too thrilled with it because, hey, I know it's TOO RIDICULOUSLY LONG. I won't ever make anything of this length ever again, but I think you'll find that I took out as much dead air as possible and if you don't have the attention span of a goldfish you should be able to sit all the way through it.

The deadline for this contest is the 25th, and after that, the videos will be posted on http://www.thatguywiththeglasses.com to also be partially voted on by the viewers. If you think mine is worth the vote, I'd really appreciate it if you can spare it!

I'll be posting about this again later, probably within two days.

For those of you who don't know yet...

There's been a bit of a change in my hair style.

LiveJournal has been unblocked at work!

Just thought I'd make an update on that. Looks like I'll be checking in on LJ more frequently.

EDIT: Looks like MySpace has been unblocked, too.
