Okay, Maybe It's Not Tuberculosis...

[amarissia]

...but I don't imagine TB could feel much worse. I used to tell my pediatrician every cold was TB. He'd always laugh and say no, but c'mon. The guy had Donald Duck on his walls. Maybe this is my punishment for mocking him?

In all seriousness, though, I am feeling quite a bit better. I'm back to coughing like a normal person and now it feels like there's only a few pounds of lead inside my cranium. Mostly I feel drained. My body's all "Hey, we just fought a victorious battle. Give us peach yogurt and sleep, bitch." Fine, fine, but you better be okay tomorrow. My sunlight reserves are very low and I keep finding myself unconsciously leaning toward the window.

In other news, the Choir are being rather unnervingly quiet today. (Perhaps because Cloud is off romping with ladygunblade's dog and waiting to see windmills.) Maybe a little Kyo Kara Maou will draw them out, though they don't have the stamina for watching it endlessly, like I do. Oh, thanx to whoever recc'ed Code Geass; we saw the first few episodes yesterday. Interesting so far. I have an immediate liking for people with purple eyes, even if they do the evil laugh and remind me of Light from Death Note. Maybe I can get Sephy to open that portal, if I tell him I need to intervene before another bright young man is lost to the madness power brings.

Sephy: "I think not."

Gah. Okay. Onto something more amusing. Ooh, I thought this was funny. You know those spammy emails you sometimes get, claiming that you've inherited a fortune and only need to spend a few hundred bucks to collect it? My dad, who's a bit of a newb to email, got one, and decided to respond. Below is the original email, and his response.

From: Lord Peter Goldsmith <office.1759@gmail.com>
Subject: Confirm Receipt
To:
Date: Wednesday, April 8, 2009, 2:57 PM

Hello Beneficiary,My late client,Sheikh Dhari Ali Al-Fayadh, left for you
$7,100,000 to you in the codicil and last testament to his WILL. Contact Lord Peter Goldsmith via email- firm@pgoldsmith-legal.co.cc for further inquiry

Dear Lord Peter,

I appreciate your communique, though of course I was saddened by the news of the Sheikh's passing. I have many fond childhood memories of his encampment by the oasis.

My coworkers and superiors at the Bureau have asked me to extend their condolences to the family.

As a man of the world I know that you will not take offence at the news of the inevitable enquiry. Due to the sensitive nature of my job, any international commitments must be investigated-- purely a matter of routine, I assure you.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Have a happy Passover.

I come by my sense of mischief honestly. :)

Thanks to all who have sent messages, replies, naughty fan art, etc. to me in my hour of sickness. I'd like to share a video that sweet tenxxxryuko shared with me. It's short, but there's some nice Zangeal zaniness right in the middle.

Is that it? I think that's all. Dewa mata...

I love your dad! Mine would most likely forward it to me and say "Is this for real?" Because typing "snopes.com" is too difficult.

Sorry to hear about the psuedo-TB. Too bad they don't have pseudo-TB sanitoriums. Wouldn't it be nice to have nothing to do except sit outside in a lounge chair with a blanket on your legs? After all, you'd have your Choir to wait on you.

Here's hoping the lead drains soon.

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

:) Thank you. The lead is almost totally out. My head only weighs twice what it usually does now, and that's an improvement...

Hah, the Choir wouldn't wait on me. Well, Cloudy would, and Angeal might help, but Genesis would nag me for porn and Zack still hasn't forgiven me for the things I've put his fictional self through. And Sephy just doesn't understand colds. He's been staring at me like I'm a petrie dish.

*debates opening a pseudo-TB sanitarium, with hot CGI/anime bishies on staff*

[mirukail.livejournal.com]

OMG your dad is AWESOME!!!! I wrote back to one of those but it wasn't nearly as funny as his. I just bitched a little. (A lot.) Seriously, "I have many fond childhood memories of his encampment by the oasis." was the best line ever!!!! *dies a little*

[betra.livejournal.com]

Your Dad is 100 shades of awesome. I would love to see how he plays Scrabble. :D

[lolochan.livejournal.com]

Awesome Dad!

But at the same time, emailing them back tells them that your email is legit. And that's how they stalk you. D:<

No matter how many times I see that "your love" part from Marshmellow Bullets it still cracks me up. My sister now has the entire conversation memorized.

[quietncryptic.livejournal.com]

your dad is WIN.

heeheehee...

"I have many fond childhood memories of his encampment by the oasis." ---Indeed; humor like that's hard to come by.

Ironically, I found myself watching that vid last night. ^__^

Code Geass rocks! Srsly, I watched every episode in Japanese since the English ones aren't finished.

(Thx for the add! I'll try to comment and avoid lurking without speaking--I hate when that happens.)

[ladygunblade.livejournal.com]

LOL @ your dad's email! Seriously. The video still cracks me up as well xD

*hands you some peach yogurt* I hope Cloud didn't come back too exhausted.

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

:) Cloud came back bouncing like crazy, babbling about windmills and his new doggie friend, then collapsed after about ten minutes. Don't worry, Sephy put him to bed and he's having a nice sleep. Thank you for entertaining him, he loved it.

[ladygunblade.livejournal.com]

I can imagine that! He wore himself out fanboying over the windmills, I was surprised he didn't fall asleep when we rode back home. Then again, he pointed at every word and sentence he saw and asked me what they meant, so I guess he was too busy xD

Sweet dreams, Cloudy.

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

Cloud: *mumbling in his sleep, smiling* "Nice doggie...pretty windmills...ooh, can I climb this one..."

Yeah, he definitely had fun. :)

[tenxxxryuko.livejournal.com]

One word for your dad:

Mr. amarissia's-dad, you are awesome!! I just started laughing at the oasis part! The whole letter was hilarious.

*snickers* Ok, that was more than one word, but still, that thing was hilarious. And I'm glad that you are spreading the wonderful love of Zangeal and marshmallows! Mmm, marshmallows...*drools* Hmm, maybe I should make a Zangeal smore? *drools more at the thought*
-

And I'm happy that you are feeling better. And Code Geass is awesome! Suzuka is like a little, honorable, doll with these huge green eyes. I love him, and Lelouch, though I do wish that they should stop the war and make world peace by marrying and not go out of there for the next month doing 'activities'. ^_^

And I don't know if anyone suggested this anime to you, but have you ever seen Ai no Kusabi? It's a favorite of mine, and the thing stole my heart a couple of years ago. Though it is slightly confusing.

And there is one recent anime/manga that stole my heart: Katekyo Hitman Reborn. You might as well given the main character a harem of good looking guys that are your supposed 'guardians'. Though the main character has a crush on a girl, XO. It's hilarious though, and has huge amounts of insanity, mafia, hitman babies, and so many candidates of who is going to get the uke-looking hero. Though Tsuna is sorta weak in the beginning he gets this adorable baby-ish/manly look to him later. *squeels*

May yaoi and lots of rest heal you now!

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

Ooh, thank you! *adds to recc list*

Yep, I've seen Ai No Kusabi. It was interesting, but I didn't like the look of it. I heard somerhwere that it's being remade, maybe I'll like the new one...

[tenxxxryuko.livejournal.com]

I loved the storyplot, hated the drawing. I think that was the one, single, huge turnoff I absolutely hated! And a new remake?!!! *spazzes out* Please, please, PLEASE!!, be drawn well!! Please!! And great voice actors!! *hopes frantically*

Do you know Crimson Spell, You Are My Loveprize in Viewfinder, and other manga by Yamane Ayano? Her artwork is beautiful, in my opinion, her smut scenes are great, and her storyplot are interesting! Well to me they are, but I think you'll find them interesting. Lovely stuff.

I'm drawing a picture when Cloud-babe and Ryu-chan destroyed Midgar, but I only penciled it out, and I sorta skipped over Cloud-babe's hands because I suck as drawing them, but I wanted to know if you wanted a copy of it.

I'm happy you are getting better and I hope you rest enough to have lots of fun with Cloud-babe and the rest!!

Humor section: The Things I Need to Say to My Muses and Guests:

To Vinnie:

'If I stuck Cerberus up your ass and pulled the goddamn trigger, would it show you how much a pain in the ass you are when you mope?

'Become more emo Vincent and I swear I'll bleach your red cape pink...and then we'll see how the hell you'll mope and sulk all day!'

'Dude, isn't yellow a happy color? So if I changed your red cape into a yellow one, will you be more happier?'



To Seph:

'Wait, if Jenova is a Cetra, and Aerith is a Cetra, and the Planet tells Aerith to grow flowers, does Jenova tell you how to grow perfect. un-tangleable hair?'

'It's sad how you pimped out Loz, Yazoo, and Kadaj to Hojo, Seph' (Not your Seph amarissia, my Seph. And right now he looks ready to kill me. *waves like an insane person to Seph-muse)


Cloud:

'If I had a chocobo I wouldn't want one as sad as you.'

'You kow, you have this air around you that says "I so need to get laid."'

'Chocobozilla!'


To Reno:

'Would you hurt me if I told you that using your EMR for that kind of 'activities' isn't healthy?' (Tseng and Rufus: That's hot actually, and we did try that before. Good results. *smirks in unison*)

'Reno, hunt me a chocobo!' (the time when Reno and the Turks were trying to find the escaped Cloud and Zack)

'Would you like to pose for a porno magazine while you're at it?' (Rufus's and Tseng's 30th dirty-dream about Reno, lol)


To Zack:

'Fetch Zack, fetch! Go get Angeal and Genesis, boy!' (But mostly Angeal...a certain part of Angeal.
Reno: You seriously are twisted Air.

Me: Thanks Red!)

'Now come back, boy!'
-
-
-
Me: Oh dear, my Zack-muse is now not talking to me again. *sighs* Looks like I'll have to bait him with chocolate. Come on Zack, stop pulling a Vinnie on me!!

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

*cracks up* Dude, are you trying to make an enemy of every character? *keeps trank-dart handy in case Sephy decides to attack*

Oooh, my anime/manga recc list is getting long. *grin* I should've conquered this phobia years ago...

Do I want a copy? Is Sephy hot? Is Vinnie emo? Does Hojo needs to be disemboweled? YES! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[tenxxxryuko.livejournal.com]

*chuckles* No, I'm not, because I know for a fact that Reno and Vinnie is too much of a softie towards me to get angry at me for too long. Besides Vinnie's worried someday I'll go and end up trapped in a big slab of crystal in a who-knew-that-that-was-there! cave in the middle of a nowhere mountain. Which I will most likely end up doing one day. Because I'm that weird enough. And then I'll tell the young people of the future Earth to support yaoi and boy porn as they're god. ^^ Wonderful plan, huh?
But Zackie and Seph are still pissed off at me. So they're indulging themselves in Cloud-babe's cookies. They're high on sugar without that chocking sugar taste (I wanted the recipe but Cloud-babe firmly said it was a secret family recipe [he's so cute when he's firm! Lol]^^. And Cloud-babe is too busy baking whole bunch of cookies to satisfy a SOLDIER's depression and anger issues to be mad at me...much.
-
-
But I feel awful for you. You had a phobia for anime/manga? Man, that must have been rough, since you watched Death Note, Gravitation, and such. But I'm glad that you have conquered it. But are you afraid of het? Cause I read some of your earlier posts and it seemed you didn't like het.
-
-
*laughs* The rough sketch is coming along, but I might have to redo Ryu-chan's hair and add in Kuma-chan. And Cloud-babe looks awkward without his hands...*sighs at my hanicap of not being able to draw a good hand without messing up at least 50 times* But I'll try giving it to you over the weekend. If I'm not busy typing my first fanfic. *stares cluelessly at Zackie being all mope-ish* I'm horrible for making Zackie sad. *pout*

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

Awww, Cloudy is making cookies? *pictures him in an adorable apron, chasing Zack away from the cookie dough* Awwwww...

You plan to end up in a big slab o' crystal? It's good to have goals for yourself. And that will keep Vinnie angsting ("Why does every woman I get close to end up this way? Woe.") and he is so very interesting when he's being angsty.

Yeah, het kinda squicks me. Well, it's not so much that it squicks me as that it doesn't do anything. It's like, *blank stare*. Like watching grass grow. "I don't see the point of this." Whereas yaoi is all *gleeful giggle*. :)

Good luck with the drawing! Hee, I can't wait to see. Cloud is very excited to have a picture of he and his BFF.

Cloud: *giggles, offers you a flower*

Don't worry. It's hard to write without pissing off Zack...that's been my experience, at least. :)

[silverin-lo.livejournal.com]

Awesome Dad! Encampment by the oasis, LOL! I can see where your sense of humour comes from, heheh...
I´m glad you feel better and that Choir keeps you entertained. Give Cloud a hug for me, yes? ::sends him 3D chocolate kamasutra embossments::

The Zangeal part was funny as hell.
True. True.
;oD

[krystalicekitsu.livejournal.com]

"Love.
Love?
Love.
Whose love?
Your love.
My love?
Yes."

I lol'd so hard I put soda through my nose.
...*ouch* You owe me a new nose.

Angeal: *sigh/facepalm*

And *hugglesyou* get feeling well soon(ya know, since you're already healthy again...)!

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

*offers new nose* It was hilarious, wasn't it? :)

[robonun.livejournal.com]

It may not be tuberculosis, but we know from House that IT'S NEVER LUPUS! :D

I'm trying to figure out if it's more sadistic to behead someone who's sick, or to peer at them through a portal and take notes on their symptoms. Yes, I'm looking at you, Sephiroth. If you need entertainment go check out one of those medical mystery shows and stop watching me cough up a lung. If I'm feeling better this weekend you can send Cloud and Ryu-chan over for another round of Rock Band. You know the routine, drop them off at two, pick them up at six, no threatening the teens on the corner unless they're smoking.

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

Sephy: *reluctantly puts down clipboard*

You know, someday on House it will end up being Lupus after all, and the reason House won't realize it till the last minute is because it's never been Lupus before.

Cloud: "Ooooh, we can come over and play again? YAY!"
Sephy: "Should I bring a clean-up crew when I come to retrieve them?"

[white-jenna.livejournal.com]

I think I love your dad. :)

[chibi-envy-chan.livejournal.com]

I need to get plushies of the FFVII characters especially of the choir I have. T-T Sadly, all I have are those figurines. While cool, they aren't as cute.

Vincent: We are meant to be cool.

Cute I say!

Vincent: Cool.

Cute! Cause I say so, and should you try to argue, I'll make a fic with you and Miss Sue.

Vincent: *pales at the thought*

I hope you do get better. ^.^

[lily-uzumaki23.livejournal.com]

lol, this was hilarious! i do hope you get better. i need you to, actually.

...you see, i've read these posts on your lj account about this choir thing and i've been inclined to read before but i can't seem to understand where i start. 'less it's for no one in particular to read :s

...in that case, forget about it...

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

:) Well, you can read a lot about the Choir by going back to the beginning of my journal and looking for the official Dialogue posts. Those are the ones in which the Choir do most of the talking. Then again, they butt in on just about every post...
