First off, it is ten o clock in America and the newest KODT comic has yet to be put up. This is not timely enough for me.
Second, I am watching OP and Zoro is trying to drown himself. Good on you, Zoro. Be tough like that.
Third, I created an account at www.fanfiction.net where I can upload all those horrible fan-fics I write (be prepared for the OP/RENT parody in the near future.) Oh, my first one has TWO reviews! Wow. And they don't say - wow, you really suck. Read it - it's under Anime/OP/Humor and it's called Jill Came Tumbling... There aren't too many spoilers if you have watched the anime up to the Alabasta Arc (Craig). The other two are the Utena vs. Trunks duel and the Bra - Evil Genius. I am sticking to uploading my humor/parodies because I cannot make a decent serious story without falling into the realms of abysmal angst. It's either humor or wrist slitting sadness - can't find a medium. Oh well, that's life.
I can't believe some of the on-line names people have. I stuck with 'Stacey' because it's a point of personal pride to post under my own name. I figure if you can't put your own name on your work, then what's the reason of posting it in the first place?
Oh and I found a Wolfgang/Vimes slash story. I didn't read it, of course. Just reading the description made my eyes bleed. WRONG-NESS! Somethings are not meant to be pondered and that is one of them. My innocence keeps being shredded away, little by little.
Fourth, I had my all time best time today for running. Training is paying off, finally.
Sheesh, it is almost twelve o'clock. I still have to pack, but I cannot muster up the enthusiasm. I am too excited.
One of my students made me sing Cardigan's Lovefool tonight at karaoke. That was embarrassing.
There is a problem. There is a full moon. There is that superb 'Hero' song blowing my mind away on my computer. I have O.D.ed on OP fan-fic. I have O.D.ed on OP doujinshi. I am GOING HOME IN TWO DAYS! I want to run around screaming my lungs out, stay up all night drinking Mountain Dew and eating onigiri, write, sing badly, and watch anime. THIS IS TOO MUCH EXCITEMENT FOR ONE GIRL TO HANDLE!

I have loved many men.
Too bad I had to set fire to all of them.
Some dork face put this quiz up before me. My quiz rocks mountains in comparison - but I guess there is something to say about being the first. Jerks. Anyway, I would be in Shanks' crew because a) I am too old to be in most others, b) I like to drink, c) I would commit murder for my friends, and d) well, somedays I have red hair.
You are Random Militant Slashers, the rogue writers of the fandom. No one knows who you are or what wayward anime fandom you came from, and no one knows exactly where you're going after this, but whilst you're here, you will slash as many characters as you can lay your hands on, without regard or recourse to propriety or canon detail. Go forth, brave soldier, and SLASH!!!!
In reality, I`m not a slash artist (I`m a Capn. Kirk, cut to the boots scene writer), HOWEVER, the exhortation at the end of the description is just so darn nifty, I have taken it as my personal mantra but only when not speaking with fan-fic writers as they might be frightened by the intensity of said description and also never read my fan fiction, which would be a travesty since I worked so hard on my SI characters. Hehe.
Working on an OP site. Yes, I said I would do it and doing it I am in my own evil overlord-y way. I expect fandom to come crashing down on my head like MIR in five more years. It will not be pretty but it will be funny. My muse has always been the 11th one, the one that got kicked out by her sisters. Her name was Parody.
Coyote is a fun-loving goofball and that fits you to a T. Playfully silly, you appear somewhat bumbling at times, and your goofy exterior sometimes makes people forget what a quick mind and razor wit hides behind that amiable grin. In the mythos of the Plains tribes, Coyote is also a Creator, and stole fire as a gift for mankind. Your gift to the world is the creative fire of your quick, capable mind..
Yes, I`m back from introspection. Back and bitter about the unfairness of how my brother GETS EVERYTHING HE WANTS. No matter. Just another little quirk that historians can cite when they try and answer the question, `What drove Stacey Kerns to take over the known universe?`
No new quizzes today. Yes, yes, I can hear the sigh of relief from you all.
I've been listening to a few songs off of my special "Survivor" CD, the CD made especially for the Senior Year Panic that is required of all pre-graduates from college. Now that I'm not hyperventilating about my future I can listen to it and reap the benefits of a bunch of songs about surviving - steeling my will, so to speak. The songs run the gamut from "We are the Champions," "Eye of the Tiger," "Survivor," and "I Did It My Way." The last one is always one that makes me happy? proud? self-satisfied? I don't know what to write, but by the end of the song, I am always thinking: Yeah, yeah, that's right. I did it my way! And I'm going to keep doing it my way! Screw everybody else!
The same goes with the most inspirational song of all - Ani DiFranco's "Swandive." From the first acoustic chords, the steel will is there - moving inexorably forward - nothing is going to stop those chords. Her words are poetic, powerful, and incendiary to the spirit of those who understand and just incendiary to those that don't. The line about "Pull out my tampon and start smashing the room" could make one squirm, but if you are caught up in the song, it makes perfect sense. And unlike most songs about taking chances, this song focuses on both the possibilities of failure and success, especially well put in the refrain:
I'm going to get my feet wet - until I drown.
But isn't that what having a goal is about? Perhaps others are willing to compromise their goals, but to me, that is impossible now. I would immolate myself in the fire of my dreams rather than stand on the sidelines and wonder what might have been if I had only tried a little harder, sacrificed a little more...
And sometimes it's easy to imagine running away from it all and doing what I think I want to do; but I am playing that game now and I know that I can't live like this forever. I could try and do 'normal' things and have a 'normal' life, but I wouldn't be happy at it. I have to have a goal, a purpose, a calling. I have to have a higher plan that isn't dedicated to self gratification. I have a strong sense of justice that drives me on. I cannot stand idly by and know that there are wrongs in the world that I could redress if I put my mind and will to it.
But I want to have fun first. That's why I'm in Japan!
Sheesh, do I sound like a superhero or what? Well, that's how I feel. I can't help it. And while I can think more coldly than Spock, can plan with the dread intensity of any Bond villain, and have passed Chemistry, I know that relying only on pure reason is just as limiting as relying on pure emotion. It's the combination of the two that make me a formidable friend and foe. And it's what got my foot in at Toledo...that essay/poem didn't come out of pure thought or random feelings. That was a combination of both.
I'm going to do my best swan dive
Into shark infested waters.
Because I don't care if they eat me alive.
I've got better things to do than survive.
Let other people 'survive.' As for me...well...Watashi wa, seigikan ga tsuyoi da na.

Satan, step back! You're the evilest of evil! No person is completely evil, and no person's all good either, but you're just a hop, skip, and jump away from king or queen of Hell! Good job!
Here`s an emotion. F('$# you with sheep. Wait, I like the sheep too much for that kind of pain...
Yeah, you know it. Yeah, you know it all, don't ya? But alas, usually being eager to learn takes it's toll on your social life. But you don't really care, cuz you know in 15 years you're gonna own their asses. MWUHAHAHA, that's right, after writing your thesis, you plan on global domination. Probably not, but we all know you're perfectly capable of it.
I read (ie scan for quizzes) and I realize that not everyone`s blog/live journal/whatever is full of these random quizzes. Well, I promise that when/if I get that darn website that is dedicated to the gloriousness of ME up, then I will plop these puppies in a section entitled - `One Woman`s Garbage - ` And this blog can be saved for important serious ramblings that share my innermost thoughts with the world at large - a world full of strangers who I don`t care about and don`t care about me or my thoughts.
Seriously, the crap some people put up is absolutely amazing drivel. They obviously don`t have to work much. Er, well, I obviously don`t have to work much, but that isn`t the point. The point is that I fulfill other people`s lives by giving them a bunch of quizzes to find and then take. That is a public service I should be rewarded for. Send the money c/o Stacey Kerns, House near the Jinga, Funo, Japan. Your donation is tax deductible. Thank you.

Jelly beans - what a concept. Haven`t had a real jelly bean in forever and a day.
Here is a song about jelly beans:
Don`t cry for me, Argentina, the truth is I have had no jelly beans.
All through my Japan days, my sake filled existence,
I stayed here jelly-bean less, now don`t keep your distance.
End song, begin madness...
GIVE ME THE BEANS! MuwahahahahahAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
(This post has been brought to you by...not having jelly beans - a jellybean less production.)

I haven't posted about One Piece in awhile, but I had to today. Today's Shonen Jump was chock full of OP goodies - I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw not just Buggy but ACE! I went into ferret shock when I saw it. Also there was a mention of Shanks and little more background on Whitebeard. The recent story line had been anti climatic about the end of the Alabasta arc, but now...man, now...I bow to the story telling skill master that is Oda.
And here I was thinking that I had ridden out the worst of my obsession - no, now I have to tend to both Sluggy Freelance AND One Piece. It's a good thing there are distractions like this out there or I would have taken over the world a long time ago. :)

This boy is filled with too much hate. He needs to spend quality time with a fluffy puppy in a room painted with rainbows.
But I posted the results of my quiz out of principle. ;) Or something. Do I have principles? (checks around the room) No, no, no. There's a centipede and two spiders but no principles.

Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!
Arr, indeed! A merry life and a short one be my motto!

Oh. The ability to do quizzes until my hands fall off from clicking on stupid little buttons. Yet I can't believe that people waste their time making them - yes, I take them, but they make them!
I'm waiting for the England vs. Argentina game. Apparently the US won, but I didn't know. Nor did I care. I love Beckham and Michael Owens. I have no need for other footballers.
Ouch. The pain from the harsh words. How can I keep on living like this?
Whatever.
Dendrobates like to live in warm humid habitats. While most small colorful frogs are poisonous in the wild, they tend to lose a lot, if not all, of their toxicity when bred in captivity. This is largly due to the lack of the variety they would normally get in their diet in the wild. They eat small insects such as fruit flies, newborn crickets, and meadow plankton.

Oh, oh, everyone, go to www.sluggy.com. Read about the adventures of Bun-Bun, the evil mini-lop. My favorite quote of his so far - 'Say the n-word again and I will do it to you with a spoon.' Bun-Bun - he's evil. More evil than me even. I would nominate him for 'Overlord Mascot' but he is too evil. He might take over.
I cheated and figured out the URL to get the proggie post. But I also couldn't resist nabbing this one as well.
Who's your DBZ guy? By the way, I am doing this from my HOME. Yes, I have reached adulthood. I have my own personal home ISDN line. I feel very...mature. I can fix that though! By downloading anime videos and doing stupid online quizzes, I can display my immaturity for the entire internet community to see! YEAH!
A woman trapped in a girl's body (or a girl trapped in a woman's mind?), you are bursting with inspiration, dreams and abilities! You hold the simple belief that nothing can stand in your way, giving you the courage to move forward and pursue your desires. However, because your view of the world is so simple, you often overlook life's necessary little details. Don't get too swept away by your dreams that you forget to look at what's right in front of you. Which Love Hina Girl Are You?
The Who is your DBZ man? quiz is screwed up, because I purposely picked all answers that screamed Piccolo and I got GOKU? What the HFIL?
Butterfly: Spry, cheeky and flirtatious! You love Asian pop culture and thrive on Pocky and candy colours. You enjoy attention lavished upon your pretty self. You want a partner who knows how to have fun. No wallflowers for you! What's your DDR theme song?

You are "Easy Mac" Macaroni and Cheese. And when they say "You're Easy" they're not kidding. You're cheap too! (in every sense). Probably a college student, or you live alone. Best eaten high or stoned... But trust me, you get eaten...
You seem to dwell on the past and always want more out of life. It's hard for you to realize how lucky you are to be an individual, so use it to your advantage! ;)
My new personal pet peeve are people who don`t bother to finish the HTML code on their damn proggie picture whatever the hell you want to call them things so that when I post I have to go back and edit because everything has been `centered.` Thank you, you lazy ass people. Er, I mean, please make quizzes. I NEED them....

Here is a way to make your speech more interesting. Add `with a bike chain` after every sentence. It is similar to my brother`s habit of adding `like a fox` at the end of each sentence, but rather than just getting weird looks, you`ll get weird looks AND people will be frightened of you. Take this conversation for example.
Person: So where will you meet me?
Stacey: At the train station - with a bike chain.
Person (backing away slowly): Er...okay.
Another sample conversation.
JTE Teacher: That student hasn`t turned in his homework.
Stacey: I`ll talk to him about it - with a bike chain.
JTE Teacher (backing away slowly): Er...okay.
See, makes life so much more fun!

I am sucked into the world of computer users. I hate the computer/I love the computer. I must be on the computer at all times. It keeps me connected to all things important in my life - namely knowledge. For knowledge is power and everyone knows you need a lot of power to be an evil overlord.
Ah, how true. Now if only I could make my glasses do that cool flashy thing like Gendo`s...
I`ve got goals now. Whooo, goals. Here are my goals: study Japanese, finish the pillowcase for mom, write one page of my novel and do tae kwon do everyday. Tae kwon do may be replaced by running. I run a lot now, even though I hate it, but it is all for me to achieve my goal of becoming a....
Oh, so I`m Duffy, am I? Well, so long as I don`t pee on anyone.
You are Makoto Shishio!
The leader of the Juppon Gatana, and the second Battousai. Convinced that you are the strongest, you set out to conquer Japan and take your rightful place as its ruler.
Wrapped in bandages due to severe burns, you blame the government for everything that was done to you. Well, actually, it was their fault, but you don't have to kill everyone to make your point. You are insanely strong, as well as skilled. Your sword and your technique make you an almost unstoppable force. Maybe it's true; maybe the fires of Hell really do burn inside of you.
You're a loner. You're completely OBLIVIOUS to just about anything except "being the strongest". By the way, your friends are dead. Let them rest.
ReverseBlade!
Phew. Today is the day for me to be the evil kenshin, isn`t it? Hehehe. Now I`m done. Really, food is calling me.
