 Good evening everyone. It seems like forever since I last chatted here... and I mean actual chatting, not the random questionnaire posts I've been doing now and then the past few days.
I'm currently getting over a cold. Today is probably the first day where I'm starting to feel that I'm more like myself - about 98% myself. Still random remains of the cold still hanging around, but a day or two should take care of it.

It's hard to believe that I'm already done with school and that I'll be graduating next week. This Friday there's a graduation celebration for us graduates. I'm intrigued to see what our student government/alumni relations is giving us graduates for our graduation gift. Hopefully it'll contain things that I would actually want and use. *shrugs*
Now what? It's up in the air. I do plan on searching for a job... but I'll worry about that sometime later. I want to enjoy my time off from school before I worry about all of that. Which is hard to do when Mom is already getting into the swing of asking if I've been looking for jobs or not.

Why do I always have to keep running into these scenarios with my mother? It's like the same disagreement topic that just keeps coming back again and again when I've come to an end of something. When I finished high school, we had the conversation. When I graduated with my Associates, we had the conversation on what my next step would be - job or school? I went with looking for a job, and I applied and had a few interviews - but they didn't seem to mean anything to her. So, at last minute, we decided to enroll me into college again to earn my Bachelors. Thankfully I got a job as the Copy Editor for my university's newspaper and that put a rest to the whole job discussion. But now that I'm graduating again... it just comes back again.
For goodness sake's, woman! It's my life! Let me make my decisions for my life. I don't tell you how to live yours or how you should do your work life. What gives you the right to tell me what to do? You're my mother? Yeah, true... but I'm not that little girl you want me to stay being. I'm a full grown young woman now! Ugh!

That's another thing - my Mom can't seem to make up her mind on what she wants me to be. She keeps telling me to stop growing up, that I should stay the little girl she loves having around. And then she turns and has this "what are doing with your life" discussion with me, making me feel like she's trying to push me into the adult world. Make up your mind, mother! I'm only human. I can't time travel and be in two places - specifically time periods - at once.

In the end, I get frustrated whenever these discussions come up. Yes, I know that my parents are trying to help me with whatever decision I make with the next step in my life on Earth... but it is *my* decision. They had it easy. They could easily get into their chosen careers with barely any experience or required degrees. I'm living in a new world now where getting a job is nothing but a miracle for a lot of us folks who don't have any special connections with people in special places. I'm just an extraordinary girl from the middle of nowhere trying to find her place in this big high-tech technological world.

It's even harder for someone like me who is an English major. Although there's a wide variety of positions I could do - from working a library, to writing for a newspaper or magazine, or editing other folks' work - there doesn't seem to be any listings available in that field for me. Especially not around here, it seems.
No... all of the available jobs is mostly in the medical or science/engineering areas.

 I love the Doctor Who-version show that appears on Community known as "Inspector Spacetime", especially since it mostly focuses on the old style Doctor Who shows. It was cool seeing Annie act as one of the other companions of the Inspector.
If I ever appeared on Community, I would want to have some interaction with the Dreamatorium/Inspector Spacetime story arc. I would especially love to appear as a River Song-like character. Still trying to figure out what the name would be though... I'll have to think about that.

List 10 of your favorite Characters. Now fill in all the blanks.
1. Sailor Venus
2. Eleventh Doctor
3. River Song
4. Caesar Flickerman
5. Katniss Everdeen
6. Captain Jack Harkness
7. Professor Snape
8. Hermione Granger
9. Luna Lovegood
10. Damon
1) 4 invites 3 and 8 to dinner at their house. What happens?
Caesar Flickerman invites River Song and Hermione Granger to his house for an interview over dinner. Caesar and River will play off with each other easily, having the time of their lives... and River having fun teasing Caesar with saying "Spoilers!" Meanwhile, Hermione will be getting irritated with the two of them and wishing that she could leave, but Caesar insists that she stays for dessert.
2) 9 tries to get 5 to go to a yoga class. What happens?
Katniss probably would agree to it, but find herself with Luna encountering a completely different thing that what she knows yoga to be.
3) You need to stay at a friend’s house for the night. Do you choose 1 or 6?
*chuckles* Depends on what sort of night I'm after. wink
4) 2 and 7 are making out. 10 walks in…Their reaction?
*cracks up laughing* Sorry, that's just really funny trying to imagine the Eleventh Doctor and Snape kissing. Probably was an accident, knowing how clumsy the Doctor can be at times. Damon would probably be confused about what's going on with that little smirk on his face.
5) 3 falls in love with 6. 8 is jealous. What happens?
River and Jack falling in love? Now that I can see happening! And Hermione getting jealous? Well, I guess no one can really resist Jack, no matter how much they try to resist. She would probably just storm off, because she knows she has no chance being with Jack.
6) 4 jumps you in a dark alleyway. Who comes to your rescue? 10, 2 or 7?
Oh my! Is this a candid interview with Caesar? *laughs* Damon would probably tease me and egg Caesar on with question ideas until the interview gets too far. The Doctor is more likely to save me and question why Caesar looks the way he does... though he might pick up on some fashion fad from the Capitol as a result. Oh dear... to imagine what he would think was "cool" from the Capitol. Snape wouldn't come to my rescue. He would just turn away and think that I deserved it for walking in a dark alleyway.
7) 1 decides to start a cooking show. 15 minutes later what is happening?
Well, if basing her behavior off what happens during the girl cooking day in the Sailor Moon S movie, most of the edible ingredients would be gone from her eating them, lol. And it depends on whether she's cooking by herself... or has someone on the show as a guest. If it was Usagi (Sailor Moon), then it would become a complete disaster.
9) 3 has to marry either 8, 4 or 9. Who do they chose?
Caesar Flickerman, because he's more her age range and I can't see her marrying a girl.
10) 7 kidnaps 2 and demands something from 5 for 2’s release. What is it?
Snape kidnapping the Doctor for something from Katniss. Hmm... probably the answer behind how all of her outfits can go up in flames and what not. I mean... how the hell do you create that sort of technology for an outfit?! There's got to be some sort of magic, in Snape's mind anyway.
11) You get to meet either 1 or 6. Who do you chose?
I'm pretty much like Venus, so if I met her, I would basically be meeting myself or a variation of one of my friends (since they've got similiar traits with her too). So, I'm going to go with Jack. "Hello Sweetie!"
12) 10 challenges 4 to a chariot race. Why?
Damon challenging Caesar in a chariot race? *laughs* Oh my goodness.. this is hilarious. Because Damon is bored and wants to do a chariot race. I mean come on?! After those ceremonial parade entrances with the horse and chariots... what daredevil wouldn't want to challenge someone in a race? And with Caesar being the host of most of the Hunger Games shows... I'm not surprised Damon would dare him. Get the host into the action, I suppose.
13) Everyone gangs up on 3. What happens?
Everyone ganging up on River Song, huh? Venus would try to get River, but River either manages to duck her attacks or uses her Vortex manipulator... and knocks Venus out or shoots her. The Doctor would just be yelling at River about something and dodging everyone else's attacks. Caesar Flickerman would more likely be narrating the events as if it's a Hunger Games event, haha - probably hanging out with the Doctor. Katniss would be hanging out somewhere high waiting for everyone else to fight each other before making her move, but gets shot by River before Katniss can release an arrow. Jack would be fighting both River and everyone else, just for the sake of shooting. Knowing River, she would probably play on his love for flirting and gets him out of the running. Snape probably managed to disarm River, but River always has another plan up her sleeve to use. Same would apply with Hermione and Luna - River would come on top. Damon at first would be up for ganging up on River, but after seeing everyone else failing, he probably would just wave the fight away and go off to drink.
15) Why is 6 afraid of 7?
Jack would be afraid of Snape because Snape doesn't seem to have any personality and always is wearing black. *shrugs*
16) 10 gathers everyone around to tell them a fairy tale. How does it go?
Damon probably would tell everyone it's a fairytale, but in reality it's based on real life events from his past. How it would go? Hard to say, depends on what scenario he wanted to tell.
17) 1 arrives late for 2 and 10’s wedding. What happens? And why are they late?
Venus arriving late for the Doctor and Jack's wedding. She probably got held back fighting some demon... and probably the issue of having to travel through time and space ((Hello Sailor Pluto?)) to get to where the boys are at.
1 cool 5 and 9 get roaring drunk and end up at your house. What happens?
Katniss being drunk is more likely than Luna. I would get them to bed instantly.
20) Everyone gets together and starts protesting something outside of your house. What are they protesting? What do you do?
Hmm... that I should choose just one fandom to be in, rather than a whole kaleidoscope of ones. But if I become a time and space traveler in the Doctor Who/Torchwood universe, then as an affect, I would be able to travel to any fandom universe, because there's always a way to make a crossover. So, in the end, it would be useless to choose just one fandom because there's always a tie to the others in my mind. *shrugs* I don't know.
21) 9 murders 2’s best friend. What does 2 do to get back at them?
Luna murdering the Doctor's best friend? Probably the only time Luna would do that is if she's trying to do something with K-9, thinking there's some creature or whatever interfering with his mechanics. The Doctor would just yell at her and tell her to fix it... or take K-9 and fix him.
22) 6 and 1 are in mortal danger. Only one of them can survive. Does 6 save herself or 1?
Jack never dies. So even if I save Venus, Jack's going to come back alive anyway. And the same goes for Venus... even if she dies, there's bound to be some reason that she manages to come back alive again.
25) 3 starts a day camp. What happens?
Um... having kids make their own blue TARDIS-like journals, or their own TARDIS birdfeeder out of milk cartons... or whatever else she sees fit for kids.
27) 1 starts to write a story where 9 and 10 are going out. What is 2’s reaction?
Venus writing a story about Luna and Damon going out. The Doctor would probably be fascinated by it, relating the most with Luna's odd personality.
2 cool 7 makes an apple pie. Is it any good?
He's the Potions Master! Of course it's going to be good!
29) 8 and 3 go camping. For some reason they forget to bring any food. What do they do?
Hermione and River going camping. River would use her Vortex Manipulator to go somewhere to get food and go back to their camp. Problem solved.
30) 1 and 2 are getting married what’s 4’s reaction?
Venus and the Doctor getting married... hmm... it's not that weird to think about. And Caesar of course would love to get the latest scoop on everything about the wedding and their future plans... and how they met... and yadda yadda.

I really need to add Caesar Flickerman to character questionnaires like that more often. It's fun having him there in different scenarios. :D
