Hehheh... Haven't been on here in awhile, but meh. No one responded to my last journal as I hoped, so I'm just going to call it off. Bah. I feel no love...

So, on a slightly more positive note, I auditioned for the talent show at my high school. I was planning on auditioning with my friend Sarah, but she disclosed to me that she had terrible stage fright and my other friend, Ashley, volunteered to take her place. I agreed... Bah. Of course, Ash stuck me up never came to the audition with me today, and I couldn't find her ANYWHERE. I found Sarah and managed to convince her to go with me instead. We performed Defying Gravity from the musical "Wicked" and I'm hoping we made the cut. Wish us luck.

Then, last week, my friend Austin invited me to go to a Halloween party at Funspot, which is an arcade that I've been to a bunch of times. Austin was diagnosed with autism awhile back and he can get awkward at times (everyone at school is a bitch to him because of it, which pisses me off a great deal) but he's a total sweetheart nevertheless. I've been helping him set up PowerPoint presentations for his classes and showed him how to clip his guinea pig's nails, but that's a different story. So, he invited me to go to this party with his family and we played in the main arcade for HOURS. We had at least four hundred tickets between the two of us, and he was apparently aiming to get me a teddy bear at the end of the night. 'Tis made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. 'Nuff said.

And what's a Halloween party without a Halloween costume contest? Its not a party at all! There was a costume contest running and everyone in Austin's family had a tradition where they would enter every year. I got to participate with them in my Isaac Clarke (Dead Space) costume. He got third place in our age group and then they handed out second place to a skimpy looking cat woman, and I thought I was going to win because none of the other costumes were good... I lost out to a fifteen year old kid dressed up as Ellen DeGeneres. WITH GREEN HAIR.

Aside from that weird little hiccup and our chocolate lab, Kipling, passing away on Thursday from old age, all is well in the land of the Box. Now, onto the meme... totally snagged from when she wasn't looking. Muwa.

1 - Name every Transformers series you have watched:
A little bit of G1, Beast Wars (LOVE), Beast Machines (plot was love, characters were not), Armada (got me into Transformers), Energon (was a little disappointing), Cybertron (made me want to stab whoever thought it would be smart to call it a sequel to the two prior), Animated (loved, except for the last episode and lack of season four), and both movies (because explosions and car chases are what make TF amazing).

2 - What was your favorite series?
Beast Wars wins HANDS DOWN.

3 - Have you read any of the comic series? If so, which was your favorite?
None, except for the ones that came with the action figures. I know I’m bad.

4 - Which faction do you prefer?
Muwa. The Autobots and Maximals always stuck out to be hypocrites to me, so I’m a bad girl to the BONE! Go Predacons and Decepticons!

5 - Which character (or characters) do you like most?
Beast Wars: Terrorsaur, Waspinator, Scorponok, Rampage
Beast Machines: Thrust, Jetstorm, Nightscream, Tankor, Obsidian
Armada: Starscream, Sideways, Cyclonus, Demolisher
Energon: Shockblast, Sixshot, Inferno, Scorponok
Cybertron: Starscream, Sideways, Soundwave, Ransack, Crumplezone, Thundercracker
Animated: Wasp, Sentinel, Shockwave, Starscream, Blitzwing, Lockdown, Swindle, Angry Archer, Sunstorm, Skywarp
Movies: Barricade, Frenzy, Blackout, Bonecrusher, Starscream, Soundwave, Sideways, Skids, Mudflap

6 - Why do you like them so much?
Because they’re all made out of win?

7 - What is your favorite pairing? Write 'none' if you are not a pervert:
If I said none, I’d be lying. Terrorsaur/Waspinator, followed closely behind by Soundwave/Sideways.

8 - Why do you like this pairing so much, you deviant?
Because it’s FUN.

9 - What sort of sex do you like your robots to have?
The fun kind?

10 - Dress someone up. Who is it and what are they wearing?
Beast Wars Megs in drag. Don’t act surprised. You all knew DAMN WELL I was going to say that.

11 - If you were a giant transforming robot, would you be a pirate or a ninja?
Pirate, simply because the prospect sounds ridiculously fun. My adventures would be rather silly.

12 - What are your thoughts on Transformers reproduction?
Either a mech or a femme can be with spark, but ‘male’ Transformers are more likely to die from complications because of structure flaws. That’s why they made femmes.

13 - If Huffer and Gears threw down in a fight, who would win?
I would, because I’d jump in the middle with a pipe bomb and beat both of them.

14 - RUMBLE IS RED OR IS THAT FRENZY IS BLUE OR RED WHAT?
Rumble is definitely blue and Frenzy is definitely red.

15 - Do you have a folder full of Transformers porn on your computer?
I plead to the fifth?

16 - How many pictures does it have in it?
I lost count. No joke.

17 - Your thoughts on Transformers gender. Give them to me:
It’s mostly for show, but there’s another reason. “Females” were created solely because the “Males” were at a higher risk for death during newspark carrying periods.

18 - Kiss Players is the best thing to happen to Transformers. Do you agree with this statement?
Yes. I’m also a homophobe, hate guinea pigs, and despise writing. I also kick puppies. (is totally being sarcastic, if you haven’t caught on)

19 - Do you role play? If so, where, what, why, how?
Yep! Beast Wars Bed and Breakfast on Fanfiction.net.

20 - Are Transformers SERIOUS BUSINESS?
YES.

21 - TRUKK OR MUNKY?
MUNKY.


I tag

Just as a side note, my father and his partner are getting married this upcoming June. This is awesome and makes me a very happy little muffin. To say that I'm only slightly excited is a very indirect and SEVERE understatement.

Anywho, onto more important subject matters, this was totally stolen from after I kidnapped her, stuffed her in Shockshell's (my car's) trunk, and locked her away in a padded cell filled with baby rats. I'm presuming she enjoyed it.

My story "Angels of the Axis" on my fanfiction.net account (check it out here [link]) is a side project of mine where I'm writing ten short stories for each of the Zako soldiers from the Magna Musai of SD Gundam Force. Only two chapters are posted so far and I want to start putting another chapter together soon. This is where my ten volunteers come in... I need you guys to volunteer an OC Zako soldier, complete with a personality and name, (something Transformerish, considering that the Zakos were robots, or maybe your own screen name) and I'll write a story about that one Zako. The first 10 people that comment in this journal (about this topic) will have their soldier written down as part of one of the ten short stories for chapter 3 of "Angels of the Axis".

...But, in exchange, you have to make a journal entry with the free offer of 10 SKETCHES (or whatever else, if you suck at drawing like me). If anyone of you has already done this or something like it, simply put the link of your journal with the offer in your comment to the this if you want in. It's just for fun!

So yeah. Anyone who wants a sample of how freakin' adorable the Zako soldiers were, here's a brief video. Watch starting at 4:28 here [link] and moving forward.

Oh. I totally made a remix of Whispers in the Dark by Skillet the other day. Check it out of you're into this song as much as I am! [link]

Here's an actual AMV I made to go with it. Sazabi/Madnug-Gerbera FTW. Check it out here if you want. [link]

As for my other projects (that have to get done or are already done), here they are:

1) My final two stories for 's and my three-shot fanfic trade. One is completed, awaiting final edits, and the third is needing just a smidgen more work and final edits. Both should be posted within the next two days.

2) My Blitzwing/Optimus AMV for , which is taking longer than expected. I might have to transfer the entire project onto another computer due to space issues.

3) My "Whispers in the Dark (2009 Transformers Tribute)" is on hold due to problems with my desktop. It should be finished before the end for 2009... Hopefully.

4) "Emerald Angel" is beginning to move forward into the production period! Terrorsaur/Waspinator fanatics beware... The Boxy lady is back to write the final instalment in the "Little Details" trilogy!

Those are the four BIG projects. Other than that, meh, its pretty boring.

I'm going to bed. Night!

I snagged this from 's journal. I looked like loads of fun, so I went ahead an did it. I still have a bunch of other memes I want to do though.

Choose four OCs and answer the questions!
1. Showdown (SD Gundam Force)
2. Nightingale (SD Gundam Force)
3. Shockshell (Transformers Movieverse/my car)
4. Shockbox (Beast Wars B&Bverse)

-A. How old are you?
Showdown: (looks thoughtful for a moment) Uh… L-l-late t-twenties by human st-standards, I guess.
Nightingale: (flashes her optic and looks smugly at her audience) I was created over a hundred and ten years ago, but I suppose you fleshlings could say that I’m perhaps thirty-three in your years.
Shockshell: (scoffs and revs his engine) I’m three thousand years old, but that idiot “Meghan” has this delusion that I’m twenty-five.
Shockbox: (squeals) Early twenties, or at least I think so. I sometimes forget in-between sugar binges and getting concussions. Terrorsaur will remind me sometimes.

-B. Do you want a hug?
Showdown: (looks a little perplexed) N-n-no.
Nightingale: (glares)
Shockshell: (glowers threateningly and crouches in a fighting stance) I dare you.
Shockbox: YES. (glomps)

-C. Have any bad habits?
Showdown: (points at his face) Th-this stupid st-st-stutter and being a bully.
Nightingale: (laughs mockingly) I suppose you could call me a manipulative liar and a wench.
Shockshell: Loosing my temper, sleeping when I shouldn’t, scaring small organics, and speeding. (gets looks) I’m a Decepticon. Get over it.
Shockbox: (grins) The list is too long. My favorites are chasing shiny objects regardless as to whether or not they’re bombs and eating sugarcane in excessive amounts with Waspy.

-D. You a virgin?
Showdown: (coughs and sputters) Erm, n-n-no? I’ve been laid plenty of times! (laughs nervously)
Nightingale: (laughs) Of course not! Please, I’ve interfaced with more mechs than I actually bother to remember. Although, I’ll tell you that my worst lover was that fool Commander Sazabi. The man was more pathetic than a standard Zako soldier!
Shockshell: (glares) …Ask Barricade.
Shockbox: (tilts her head to the side) Huh? What’s a virgin? (is entirely and creepily innocent)

-E. Have any kids?
Showdown: (shakes his head) Are you ki-ki-kidding? Half of the s-soldiers I h-hang around w-w-w-with on the Magna Musai ARE st-st-still kids!
Nightingale: (snorts) Children? PLEASE. I’ve had almost as many abortions as I’ve had lovers!
Shockshell: (jerks a thumb over his shoulder at Meghan) Does that stupid human count?
Shockbox: (shakes her head) Unless you count the ones I baby sit at the B&B, no.

-F. Favorite food or drink?
Showdown: (grins and waves his hand dismissively) High g-g-grade with ex-ex-extra lead and a twist of m-m-magnesium.
Nightingale: Only the highest quality high grade, of course. I won’t have anything less.
Shockshell: (shrugs) Unleaded fuel. I never liked high grade. Too sweet.
Shockbox: (beams wildly) Cake, cookies, sugar, candy, pretzels, muffins, high grade, energon biscuits, ostrich eggs, bacon, steak teriyaki strips, birds, rabbits, honey, berries, fruits, even MORE sugar… (list goes on for several more minutes)

-G. Killed anyone?
Showdown: I th-threw a g-g-grenade into a crowd of humans in L-L-Lacroa on-once. I think I killed mo-most of them.
Nightingale: (looks thoughtful) Even more than I’ve had lovers, I suppose. I didn’t get my reputation for being a ferocious commander just by sitting around!
Shockshell: (grins) I killed my previous owner and a gang of bikers who almost crashed into me and Meghan.
Shockbox: (shakes her head) Nuh-uh.

-H. Hate anyone?
Showdown: (looks aside) It’s not that I ha-hate anyone, but a l-lot of p-p-people h-h-hate ME…
Nightingale: (growls) Commander Sazabi of the Magna Musai.
Shockshell: (scoffs) The list is too long.
Shockbox: (buzzes irritably) Tarantulas, Megatron, and those creepers who run P.E.L.M.

-I. Any secrets?
Showdown: (rubs the back of his head nervously) Well… I h-h-have a c-crush on one of my few f-f-friends. Fireball treats me l-l-like I’m actually worth something.
Nightingale: (grins cruelly and uses a condescending tone) Plenty… What? You never asked me to tell.
Shockshell: …Ask Barricade. I have nothing more to say.
Shockbox: (throws her hands into the air) Okay, I’ll fess up! My real name is Mr. Fuzzykins the fourteenth, and I’m actually an experiment from the future to… (sees that she’s getting weird looks and she sweat drops) …I’m kidding?

-J. Love anyone?
Showdown: (raises his optic ridge) Didn’t I j-j-just go over th-this with y-you?
Nightingale: (her glare falters somewhat and she looks aside) …Once. Not anymore.
Shockshell: (glances sideways at Meghan) She's a good enough comerade that I suppose you could say that I love her. If you mean romantically… (pauses) …Ask Barricade.
Shockbox: (throws her arms into the air) EVERYONE! (squeals and jumps up and down)

-K. What is your job?
Showdown: S-s-s-soldier.
Nightingale: (makes a sweeping gesture aimed at herself) I’m the commander of the Shadow Musai, second head Commander of the Dark Axis invasion fleet.
Shockshell: Recon and scouting. (pauses thoughtfully before resuming) AND babysitting Meghan.
Shockbox: Sugar binging and being a self proclaimed rocket scientist… What? No one said the jobs had to be serious! (is pelted with bricks until she fesses up) Fine, I’m a soldier. Megatron used to call me cannon fodder sometimes, though. I’m not sure if that’s something different.

-L. Favorite season?
Showdown: The f-f-fall. It’s nice and c-crisp out.
Nightingale: Winter, to fit my icy persona. Suiting, isn’t it? (laughs mockingly)
Shockshell: Anything as long as it’s over seventy degrees. Summer is preferable.
Shockbox: (jumps up and down) Late spring! That’s when all the pretty flowers come out… and the wild sugarcane tastes the best at that time of year. (winks)

-M. Who's your best friend?
Showdown: (jerks a thumb over his shoulder) F-F-Fireball.
Nightingale: (frowns) I don’t need friends.
Shockshell: (mutters darkly) Meghan, just because she’s my only friend. There’s nothing more to it.
Shockbox: Waspinator and Terrorsaur, of course! Then there are people like Skyfire, Soultail, Pink, Dark, Airry… (goes on FOREVER)

-N. Hobbies?
Showdown: H-h-hanging out w-w-with Fireball.
Nightingale: Chess. It’s an organic invented game, but it’s entertaining nonetheless.
Shockshell: Sleeping and scaring pedestrians who walk by me when I’m parked.
Shockbox: (throws her hands into the air) SUGAR BINGING FTW.

-O. What are you going to do when this tag is over?
Showdown: (shrugs) G-g-g-go b-back to w-w-work.
Nightingale: Preparing to invade new dimensions.
Shockshell: (transforms into vehicle mode) Sleeping and pretending I never agreed to this.
Shockbox: (spots a shiny spoon on the counter and goes silent)

-P. What is your eye color?
Showdown: Pink.
Nightingale: (flashes her optic) HOT pink.
Shockshell: Red.
Shockbox: (points at them) Purple! They used to be yellow back when I wasn’t Transmetal, though.

-Q. Are you good? Or bad?
Showdown: (grins) B-b-b-b-bad to the b-bone!
Nightingale: (doesn’t need to answer, because you readers should have figured it out for yourself by now)
Shockshell: (points to his Decepticon insignia) Do you need a second opinion?
Shockbox: (smiles innocently and razzes)

-R. Any last words?
Showdown: (drops into a fighting stance) I r-regret n-n-nothing!
Nightingale: (optic flares) Who thinks I’ll ever need to say my ‘last words’?
Shockshell: (glares defiantly) For the glory of the Decepticons!
Shockbox: I REGRET NOTHING! (grins wildly and laughs like a maniac hyped on sugar)

-S. What is your greatest fear?
Showdown: (pauses before speaking) If an-anything ever h-h-happened t-to Fireball.
Nightingale: (glowers) I fear nothing and no one.
Shockshell: (shifts from foot to foot in a discreet manner) Its not like I care or anything, but if Meghan ever left me… I don’t know what I’d do.
Shockbox: (razzes nervously) If I ever lost Terrorsaur or Waspinator…

-T. Does your name have a special meaning?
Showdown: (shakes his head no) It’s just a name.
Nightingale: (beams) It’s a sort of rare night bird. I take great pride in my name. It’s far more aesthetically pleasing than most names.
Shockshell: (scoffs) Names are supposed to have a meaning?
Shockbox: (points to herself) I’m a WASP and my name is SHOCKBOX. Do you THINK its supposed to have a special meaning? (grins) I was OCD when I named myself.

-U. What's your alt?
Showdown: (blinks) Eh?
Nightingale: (looks momentarily lost for words, but she quickly recovers) What sort of ridiculous question is that?
Shockshell: (scoffs irritably) 2006 Chevy Impala.
Shockbox: (buzzes her wings) Transmetal paper wasp!

-V. Any siblings?
Showdown: (looks quizzical) I was p-p-produced in a f-factory with a b-b-batch of fifty other Zakos. Do th-they count?
Nightingale: (sneers) No.
Shockshell: (thoughtfully pauses) …If I did have any siblings, I’m unaware.
Shockbox: (sighs) Moondance. We were the same person basically since I was split from her spark and was kinda more like a clone, but it’s still the same concept. My name was Sundance back then.

-W. Where do you live?
Showdown: (shrugs) On t-t-the Magna Musai.
Nightingale: (makes a sweeping gesture behind her) The Shadow Musai. I’m its commander after all!
Shockshell: (grumbles) In Meghan’s driveway. Winter should prove to be… Eventful. I much rather prefer her father’s garage.
Shockbox: (razzes) Sometimes at the Darkside, but now I mostly stay at the Bed and Breakfast.

-X. Do you find yourself attractive?
Showdown: (looks aside) Fireball says I am…
Nightingale: (puts her head high) Of course!
Shockshell: (rolls his optics) Meghan says I am. She insists on calling me sexy. I could care less.
Shockbox: (points accusingly at Waspy) He says I am. I don’t know about that much, but I know he is! (beaming)

-Y. What is the stupidest thing you've ever pulled off?
Showdown: (looks embarrassed) I t-t-t-tripped one of the h-h-hosts of the Zako Zako Hour w-while we were working on the m-m-m-mining deck. Zapper Zaku wasn’t h-h-happy AT ALL, zako.
Nightingale: (snorts) Don’t be ridiculous. I’ve never done anything stupid.
Shockshell: (grumbles) Blowing up my last owner. Barricade was less than pleased…
Shockbox: …I lost track? (sweat drops)

-Z(2). What's your favorite physical feature?
Showdown: (mutters) Anything other th-th-than my st-st-stutter.
Nightingale: (admires her hands) Everything.
Shockshell: Meghan says my voice is scary… (grins cruelly) I like that.
Shockbox: I like my wings. (buzzes them and takes off into the air, but she crashes into the ceiling and falls to the ground in an undignified heap)

-Z(3). Who were you overall brought up by?
Showdown: (looks away) I di-di-didn’t have parents because I was p-produced in a f-f-f-factory. I raised my-myself.
Nightingale: (snorts) I brought myself up. I needed no one.
Shockshell: My mother was killed in an Autobot invasion on Cybertron and I was raised by my sire.
Shockbox: (points at Terrorsaur and Waspinator) I don’t remember my life on Cybertron. Terr and Waspy sorta showed me the ropes of the Beast Wars.

-Z(4) Who was your first kiss?
Showdown: (blushes) Fireball, b-b-but it was j-j-just a p-peck on the ch-cheek.
Nightingale: (scoffs) I don’t kiss.
Shockshell: …Barricade, unless you count the time Meghan kissed my hood just to be annoying.
Shockbox: Waspy! (grins)

So yeah, a few things. I’m going to bed right after I write this, so forgive me if I sound a little off. I’m very tired and I wanna go nighty. ‘Nuff said.

Anyways, Proposition 1 in Maine… FAIL. Prop 1 is going to be an initiative to ban gay marriage in Maine just like California’s Proposition 8. In fact, the same organizations who funded and pushed Proposition 8 forward are going to fuel Proposition 1, which makes me want to throttle whoever thought it was GOOD idea to take rights and general happiness away from people. You, my kind dear sir, are an ass. I’m highly unimpressed. Be prepared for journal entries spouting how much I loathe Prop 1. You might even get photos if I go out to protests. Marriage quality for all!

…Bah. That tragic bit of sadness aside, I have a bit of a request from you guys. I’ve been obsessing over SD Gundam Force recently (freakin’ awesome is what it is) and I’ve written several stories for the Sazabi/Madnug pairing. I would totally love you FOREVER AND EVER MORE if someone drew a Sazabi/Madnug themed picture for me. Just for reference purposes (and a blatant attempt to hook more people onto this show), I’ve provided episode links…

Sazabi and all his ridiculously sexy awesomeness appears at twenty-seven seconds into this video here: [link]

Madnug (or Gerbera as he’s referred to, for the time being), appears at 6:25 minutes into the video here: [link]

Be sure to watch the Zako Zako Hour at the end of that last clip. The Zako Zako Hour is made of WIN.

Anyways, I’d, like, love you FOREVER AND EVER MORE as I’ve already said, and I’d probably be willing to trade for it. I’d do a fanfic or video request in return, so meh. I don’t know WHY, but Sazabi/Madnug is just made out of total awesomesauce for me. I blame UltimateEvilPerson for getting me back into the show too. Plot and character development wise, SD Gundam Force had a hauntingly similar feel as Beast Wars. Primus knows how great THAT show was.

Side note: I totally LOVE the new Red vs. Blue series. Recreation is looking more and more awesome.

I'm still working on all my projects. Got some done and out of the way, moving onto others. Its painful work, but I'm getting there.

Anywho, I’m tired and going to bed. Toodles.
