Rantage, Mars Style

10/8/06

Hey all! This ain't Mars, that's why the different colored font. This is Space. Just thot I'd let you all know that I think Mars is essentially dead to the creative world of FS. I believe it's mostly due to the time demons and 'net thieves spiriting her away. If I ever find a way to resurrect her to the world of the Electric, I'll be sure to let you know and have her post something. Until then, don't be expecting to hear much of anything from her. Sorry all, I have no control over what she does, so any complaints about her absence should be directed at her; I have nothing to do with it. Anyway! Head on over to Space's Rantage for more of an update on sitely things.

Well, long time no see! I pretty much broke my main monitor at home, so I've been living (again, damn it all) with very limited internet and therefore have been a lazy bastard and simply not been as active as I should be. Hopefully, I'll pick it up more and things will work. But at least the story sure is moving well!

Really, what can I say? Mars just doesn't like hills! And she always seems to be surrounded by them, too. It must be a plot! And really, why all the going up and then going down? Why not--here's a mind-blowing idea--go around? Sheesh. It would be easier that way.

I live!!! It's been a while, granted, but I'm still kicking. Things have been rather ... interesting up here, but hopefully they will settle down soon. Da Space is keeping this going fairly well, though only up to the 5th? What's up with that? ^.~ Just joking, Space. I hope you had a kickass b-day!! I have your present here--I'm having problems getting it sent off, but I promise you'll get it sometime soon! *nods* I have nothing really to say, other than the story is interesting, ne? How will it progress? How is it all connected? And when will we see some more of that sexy Mars character? *huge grinage*

Well, there is school tomorrow. So I supoose I should get some sleep. Later!

Arrrgh I think things are out to get me ... The good news, I have internet at home. The bad news, it's dial-up. The good news, it's free through the University. The bad news, it kicks me off every hour. Joy. That on top of all the homework I already have and should be doing has been keeping me pretty busy ... and I suppose the anime hasn't been helping, either. *evil grin* Oh yeah, Marching band is going pretty quickly this year, as well. Our first game is next Saturday, and it's our one travel game. We're heading down to Boise! How fun. But then the baritone section is gonna have a little camping trip Sunday and Monday. Whahoo! So, in effect, I'll try to post more regularly from now on. I promise! Until then, tschuss!

Well, I'm here in Moscow and it's fucking hot. That said, I'll now move to the relevant portion of this post. And yes, there is one, so you skeptics can just go suck a pickle. (Hmmm ... actually, that sounds pretty tasty. ^.~)

Who was that masked man? Well, technically, it's a woman. And it doesn't say whether she's wearing a mask or not, though I would be inclined to believe "not". But anyway, who was she? It seems that she knew that place before whatever happened, happened. That she knew the people who had fallen, the halls that were destroyed, the classrooms that are now silent memorials to the distruction they were witness to. That is a woman with a troubled soul, a burden that weighs her down and keeps her firmly grounded in depressing reality. I must know more!!

August 14

Well, I know there hasn't been an update yet, but I just figured I'd let all my lucky fans know that I'm moving back up to school this weekend, so I may or may not be able to reliably update. Not that I would, anyway, but you could pretend, at least. ^.~

And as a side note, I really hate packing. Especially taking apart my computer to transport it ... I'm always terrified I'll hurt it somehow, and that it won't work when I reassemble the components. Yikes!! But, concerns aside, I really must pack. So farewell! Sayonara!! Ciao! Tschuss! ^.^

Friday the 13th! My lucky day!!

Did you notice how calm and collected Mars was? And how her aim with the rock was "rock" steady, so to speak? *snicker* *loves puns* Eh, she was probably aiming for his chest to be able to land such a sweet shot. Though I do think there are more polite ways to welcome late-night visitors; however, in that strange place, can you blame them?

RK ... Royal Kook ... Radish Kicker ... Rubbish Kollector ... Alright, so maybe that's pushing it. But still, the possibilities!!! *huge grin*

Hey! Lookit this! It's … an actual rant!! Whoa, who'd of guessed I could do another one of those. Though, true to form, "timely" isn't in my dictionary. (It actually stops at "Time Lock" … I don't know why. Must have an aversion to those U-V's and open flies.) Will post more rantage later … for now, this is simply a filler to let everybody that cares (all two of you—oh wait, I miscounted. All one of you. :P ) know that yes, I am still here, and yes, I will eventually get around to the point. At least, I'll keep telling you that, heeheehee.

Oh, and I just watched Kill Bill, Vol. I again … such a great movie. I must see Vol. II!!

And those who pay attention will realize that this didn't go up until the 13th ... so just what exactly is going on?!?!? *skeptic eyebrow*

August 1, baby!

Man, those two sure are nummies!!! Good thing there is absolutely no resemblance in either attitudes or actions between those crazies and my sane compatriot, Space, and myself. *looks around in disbelief* You actually believed that? Yeesh. Remember what I said last time? *lowers voice* You really can't trust me that much when it comes to making rational statements about life, the universe, and everything. Well, actually, you can trust me all you like. Just be aware that when I laugh at you, it isn't at you per se, it's more of in your general direction. Oh, true. Lying isn't very good karma. So fine. Yes, the laughter will be directed at you. But don't worry! It will be nice laughter.

And wow, spooky, huh? That whole dropping out of the trees thing just gets me every time. And speaking of things in the general up direction, I have a bone to pick with that! Why is it that people never look up? Especially when they are either hunting for or being hunted by aliens or other weird things? The walk into a dark room, scan the corners, declare it's safe, walk in, and then *fill in the name of the bad guy* drops from the ceiling to block their only exit. C'mon, people!!! We have the ability to look up, so let's use it!!

Uh, this was about, oh ... 7/29/04

Well, here it is. My rant. MY RANT. My very own personal little space of rantage. Of course, I'm supposed to rant, ahem, I mean comment on the story. And I will. Of Course I Will. It's just that, first, I want to jump up and down for joy that I have my own little bloggish space. *much jumpage* Okay, I'm with you again.

In other news, I'm borrowing the first manga of Full Metal Panic from my co-conspirator, and that is also case for much jumpage. But I'm too tired right now, so I'll settle with cheerage.

But of course, for there to be other news that means there should be news in the first place … or should there be? I am almost tempted to see how much rantage I could perpetrate in this joint before you, the conscientious readers, notice that I haven't said a thing about Flip Shift yet. And that, my friends, is because I'm not connected to the Internet … which means I haven't read the latest postage … which means I have no clue what's in the current segment that needs discussed, dissected, and disinfected. Of course, if I wanted it disinfected for me I could just read the censored versions. But that would be no fun!!! If you honestly think characters like those would end up in situations like they do and NOT curse, then you have some very big misconceptions about today's younger people and probably need to download an update. I recommend experiencing some Anime. And Just Because It Rocks, that's why. Plus, all the accurate portrayals of characters and how they handle the mundane situations they find themselves in are excellent guides for people desiring a normal example of how life works. Yep.

(PS. If you believed that last part then it is possible you might be a wee bit too literal. Loosen up! *much grinage*)

And nope, no Flip Shift commentary/disclaimers/rebuttals yet. It will happen, I promise. Maybe.
