We Managed to Avoid Drowning!  
Hello people!

Whoa, I can't believe it's 6:30, I totally lost track of time today! :O

Um, oh, so, I had a dream last night where I went to dinner with my parents. I dunno why, but we took a limo there. We were gonna meet up with my (deceased) Grandpa D. and a friend of his. For some reason, I was hesitant to go inside, so I stayed in the limo for 58 minutes (yes, exactly 58 minutes). When Grandpa D. and his friend pulled up at about 10:00, I decided I'd stay.

I went inside, where teh rents were waiting, and we met up with Grandpa D. and his friend and all sat down at the counter (like a bar, sans alcohol, lol). Apparently, teh rents and I had already eaten dinner, so Grandpa D. and his bud bought us ice cream instead. It was GOOD. Then mom and dad and I were suddenly in a GameStop and I found a Solid Snake action figure.

I grabbed a ton of others – Psycho Mantis, Revolver Ocelot, etc. – and intended to buy them with my own money. Then I found little mini!board-games, which I used to get for holidays all the time. They're adorable!  There was one that said Jeopardy on the front, but the contents included little chess pieces and a chess board, so I put it back. I think other stuff happened, but that's all I remember.

I woke up at 10:30-ish and spent the next half hour on my computer. The day kinda switched off between lazing around and working. I did the dishes and made myself a sandwich. Then I went to my room and played a little MGS2. Nick joined me a bit later and we played our saved game together. We brought some garbage and some crappy boxes outside to the curb and played with the kitten.

"The Lost World" was on after all that, so I watched the last hour of it. I just realized today that the movie is COMPLETELY different from the book. It's like they totally disregarded the book and just wrote a new story. It's actually incredibly lame and depressing, when I think about it. I've spent the past two hours reading "Jurassic Park," "The Lost World" and Michael Crichton trivia on IMDB.

Title of this post is from MGS2. Raiden says it to the Colonel after swimming through a certain area. It just seems hilarious to me, lol. OH! So, Nick stumbled across this broadcast online (on justin.tv, similar to blogtv) where this guy was playing MGS. He talked to the guy and did his Solid Snake impression, and the guy LOVED it. Now Nick sometimes joins in on the broadcast.

He does his Snake impression and joins the convos and such! Here's the thing: if the guy gets more viewers and subscribers and stuff, he's gonna start paying his partners (i.e., Nick). SOOOO, I'm spreading the word about the broadcast. It's on late at night, so if you stay up super late, check it out. Nick's not on every night, but still. If you like whatcha see, pass this link around, please! :]

I decided last night that I'd like to keep a blog that my parents can read while I'm at college, but I don't want it to be this one, for blatantly obvious reasons. I made a new one here on LJ - except it's not a separate account, it's a comm. That way, I don't have to log out every day just to log back in. If you wanna join, you can, but it's just gonna be a PG version of this blog, lol. --> [info]miradoxical.

Um, yeah. Oh, oh, I did two more drawings last night; Liquid/Meryl and Ocelot/Meryl. I don't like the second one very much - Meryl looks kinda off and Ocelot looks wayyyy too young, but oh well. I'm starting my birth control pills tonight. :} I'm kinda nervous; I hope I don't have any of the crappy side-effects, like nausea for the first 1-3 packs...The Next Food Network Star is on tonight! :D WHOOT!

Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

No, She's a Cat, She Doesn't Know What's Going On  
Hello people!

I had a really long, complicated dream. I'll try to keep it short. Um, I had a dream that I was sitting outside of the house. The weird thing is that Nick and I were the only people living there...hmm. Anywho, I had my computer with me and I was gonna spend the afternoon writing. The skies were dark gray and I loved that environment. This really annoying girl I know in RL knocked on the front door.

She couldn't see me, since I was on the side of the house, but I could see her. I ran to the back door to get in the front door to lock it so RL girl would go away, but the back door was locked, so I couldn't get back in the house. Then it started pouring down rain. I ran to my computer and protected it from the rain as I went in the front door. RL girl took it upon herself to go ahead and go inside.

Nick was in the kitchen, and RL girl and a friend were in the living room, watching a horror movie. RL girl said, "Oh, hey, wanna watch the movie with us? We're almost done." I remember being super pissed off, then I woke up. Then I fell back asleep and had a dream about some minor celebrity, though I don't recall who, who was really cute and nice and flirting with me. We were gonna go out...

Then I woke up. Yeah. I actually had more stuff happening, but I don't remember it all. I knew I should've written it all down this morning. Shit. Anyway, um, dad got me up at 11:00 this morning. I watched Judge Karen and fed the kitten before getting to packing glasses and bowls and vases around noon. I packed til about 3:00, when Nick asked for my help packing the coat closet.

I helped him (aka, I did it for him) til dad got home from the store at 4:00. Nick has actually been very nice and funny today, and we had a great time hanging out. He and I even talked about his hair (how I think he'd look better with short hair and he's actually considering it! :D) and his clothes (how he likes to dress a certain way, but that his clothes don't define him...which is deep, for him).

It was really great to talk to him like that. He also mentioned off-handedly that he thinks Megan Fox is gorgeous and that she's his desktop background. At least he has good taste? I think Fox is gorgeous as well, lol. Nick made it known to mom and dad that he and I are getting the FOX-HOUND logo as a tattoo for his birthday (that's right, I get a tat for Nick's b-day, lol <3). I'm stoked! :]

I dunno if I explained this before, but Nick and I both want that as a tattoo cuz it's from Metal Gear Solid, which we not only both love intensely, but we bond over the first and second game, too, so it's very important to us. Nick brought up my going to college and how he's gonna miss me, and I said he wouldn't have to worry cuz I'll be stopping by all the time. Sometimes, he really is a great bro. <3

Moving on, I drew a couple more doodles earlier and put 'em up on deviantART. [1] Best Friends (Hal and Dave), [2] Boys in Love (Hal and Dave), and [3] my artist logo. Mom, dad and I got into a little tiff, yet again, about packing and now I'm in my room. They might be giving a friend of mom's a ride to Pataskala, which is way far away, so hopefully Nick and I will have a little parent-less downtime.

Um, yeah, that's about it. Title of this post is just something dad said about Celtic. I don't know the context, but I think it's more amusing sans context anyway. I'm gonna try to draw some more tonight, but I dunno if I can pull off anything good (or original, lol). I shall try, though. Speaking of creative expression, I really should write. Hmm. Maybe I'll do that instead...

Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

That Led Him to a Painful Decision: Hitler or Pancakes?  
Hello people!

For the first time ever, I, Miranda Doerfler, beat Metal Gear Solid on normal ALL BY MYSELF. I've been having a "nerdgasm," if you will, since I did so last night. I even made a short video documenting it, lol, cuz I was so excited.


Ahem. I stayed up last night reading awesomely adorable MGS comics from this woman right hurr. I also attempted to draw my own Solid Snake and Hal (Otacon) & Dave (Snake) doodles, using that woman's technique. And I think I did a decent job, considering that I usually suck at drawing, lol. I put them up on my deviantART account. Here's Solid Snake and here's Hal & Dave.

I got up at 10:00 today to mom asking me to pack some stuff for her while she's at work. I watched some Divorce Court and drew those doodles til mom left, then started packing around noon. Dad was out in the garage packing stuff there. I spent the afternoon packing kitchen stuff (mugs, plates, etc.) and watching TV. It actually wasn't terrible, I don't mind packing when it's a calm process.

Dad came in around 2:00 and made me some late lunch of chicken fingers (they weren't very good...) and we watched Sabrina together, which the title of this post is from. Then he went back to work in the garage, and I went back to packing. I stopped around 5:00 and, well, here we are. I'm so ridiculously tired, I could go to bed right now. Um...yeah, that's pretty much it. Happy Thursday.

Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

He Knew How to Get the Meme Out of People  
Hello people!

Snurtched from a few flisters.

The first five people to comment in this post get to request a sketch of a character/object of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their drawing ability level.

Well, I can't draw for shit, but I'll do my best, lol! I think this would be fun! :D Also, please keep the characters/objects limited to things I actually know (i.e.: don't ask for Dr. Who stuff or something, lol).

Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

Pictures on Pages on People on Paper  
Hello people!

I don't really know what the title means, lol. Just had to put something. *shrugs*

Anywho, as you know, I cleaned my room this past weekend well, okay, only Sunday and I wanted to show you guys before and after pics! :D

Before1
Before2

After2
After3

Isn't it lovely? I even vaccumed! I'm quite proud of it. I also drew up Phil Ken Sebben (or...tried to...). I really suck at drawing, so this is, like, the best I could do. I plan on taking (attempting to sign up for) a drawing class this coming school year.

Phil Ken Sebben (the reference pic I used).
Phil Ken Sebben (my drawing).

I realize it's not amazing, but I think it's at least somewhat decent, LOL. I'm gonna post a meme soon-ish, just so ya know.
