5:13 pm - Closure at last.
|
Hi there, everybody! It's me, Tara. You guys remember me, don't you? The Spunky Bisexual Chain Smokin' Hel Digunner Bitch?
I'm posting on behalf of my creator, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) koobine, to report that the fanfic "Zoids Odyssey", as of now, has officially been cancelled. He tells me that the self indulgance that initially made it so fun to write wore off, and that Zoids Odyssey simply lost its appeal to him, and became a chore for him to write with little reward. A waning interest in Zoids and lack of creative freedom added to the downfall of the fic. He's moved on to other things; his original series, "kreaturez" being his main focus. However, ZO kinda ended with a cliffhanger, and since he doesn't want to pull a Fuzors on what little fandom he had, he's left it up to me to tell y'all how ZO woulda turned out.
( Okay, so here's what happened. )
Right. So, now that you know what was going to happen in ZO, you can sleep soundly. Since ZO has been retired, that means that this journal will be permanently retired as well. But don't fret! This isn't the end of me, Jake, Aldo and Clyde! My creator tells me we'll be revamped and used as characters in his Original Story... so just because ZO is finished doesn't mean you'll see the last of us. And he may finish Damn Zombie Kids someday, sooooo... look foreword to that as well. Special thanks goes to all of you who read Zoids Odyssey, and those of you who read my journal. I'm eternally grateful to all of you.
Ohhhh gawd. Now I'm getting all weepy! T__T Don't worry, I'll be okay... just got a lil' something in my eye... This concludes my final entry. See you all in another continuity!

9:13 pm - Bleh.
|
Oh, look. An update. Woo.
I'm in the hospital right now... I'm updating from my laptop. I got Pammy and Clyde to bring it here for me. Why am I in the hospital, do you ask?
Wellllll... I got my ass handed to me in the Fifth round of the NZBT pretty badly. My Heldy got all beat up by a Battle Rex... really badly.
I might be back on my feet in a few days, say the doctors... I just hope Clyde isn't too worried about me. And my parents... dear lord, I bet they're going nuts... I should E-mail 'em or something, tell 'em I'm okay.
My Heldy took some pretty awful damage... it'll take quyite a while to fix. I hope Adlo and Jake and Clyde will be able to fight in the next round without my help... although I doubt the Command Wolf EM will be in very good shape either.
Yeah. Anyway, being in the hospital = t3h suck. The food is crap, and I can't smoke. And my glasses got smashed during the battle, so I can hardly see a damn thing, and therefore cannot watch TV either. I'm all snippy and biey from nicotine withdrawal and boredom.
At least I can knit to pass the time, though.

9:46 pm - What? Another update? So soon?
|
Yeah. Woo, lookit me, I still haven't died of lung cancer! Go me!
...Right. I went out on the patio for a cigarette the other day, when I bumped into Aldo. Not that strange in itself... he often goes out on the patio when he needs a breath of fresh air. It's what he was *doing* that was strange.
He was knitting. Yeah, you heard me. Knitting. Specifically, he was knitting a purple sweater. For me. O_o
Suffice to say, I was rather confused, but the "...what?" look on his face suggested that I probably shouldn't dwell on it. Certainly, of all the things I'd picture Aldo doing, knitting isn't nescessarily one of 'em.
I asked him if I could watch. He said I could, so I sat down next to him, and watched him knit. I finished off my cigarette, and was going to go back inside, but watching him knit was kinda interesting. He offered to show me how to do it, and I though "aw, sure. I've got some time to kill. Let's give it a whirl."
I spent the next hour or so on the patio, knitting with Aldo and yakking 'bout stuff. He doesn't say much, but he's a good listener. He's a pretty cool guy.
...Heee. *Blushes* I think I've got a bit of a crush on Aldo... ^^; A minor one, though. Dun' worry Clyde, you're still my stud-muffin. ;)
Soooo... yeah. I've got a new hobby. Turns out knitting's pretty fun. I'm not really that good at it, buuuut... eh. At least now I've got something to do with my hands other then smoke. XD

11:43 am - Love versus Sex
|
pointytilly showed this atricle: http://www.livejournal.com/community/anthropologist/533578.html to koobine, who in turn, showed it to me. Reading this article, I've formed an opinion or two about the subject.
In my opinion, yes. Sex does equate love. In my eyes, intercourse isn't merely a recreational activity or an act of reproduction... to me, sex is an act of expressing one's love for another in a physical manner.
In my experience, intercourse requires two people giving it their all in order for it to work, just like a relationship. In order for both to enjoy the experience, both have to pleasure one-another in turn. You have to care enough about the other person, and what they like and who they are, in order for it to be the beautiful, spiritually fulfilling thing that it is. If both partners are not satisfied, sex simply doesn't work, and in order for both to be satisfied, both have to care as much about satisfying their partner as much as one does about satisfying themselves.
And it isn't as easy as it sounds; it requires a committment. It requires one to spend lots of time with the other, sharing their likes and dislikes, and stuff. I can't count how many relationships I've been in have failed because of one-sided sex. Sex requires a committment, and a mutual understanding of one another's preferences in order for it to work. In order for sex to be enjoyable, you have to truely love the person you're with, otherwise it becomes an unsatisfying, one-sided affair.
I dunno. Maybe I mis-interpreted the article. Buuuuuut... in my opinion, love and sex go hand in hand with one another.
current mood: Insulted

6:38 pm - The Continuities! They write in AGONY!
|
...Well, this is certainly an interesting predicament...
All right. It all started when Aldo took me, Jake, and Clyde out to do some training. Suddenly, this swirling orange vortex thingy opened up and sucked us into it! We came out of the vortex in some kind of... I dunno. Someplace I've never seen before.
We wandered about aimlessly for a while, until we ran into this girl with a Heldy, named "Bekka." She was looking for a Gun Sniper, a Shield Liger and a Command Wolf, and after looking for a bit, we found them. THEN, we ran into Pammy, some scientist guy with a Gustav, an eccentric Redler pilot and a really sexy blonde in a Geno Saurer.
The Gustav guy (he calls himself Floyd), says that we've been sucked into some alternate universe. I don't think I believe him, but its a better explaination then I can come up with. *Shrugs.*
...That girl who pilots the Gun Sniper... Vic, I think her name was... she scares me. She snuck up on us while Clyde and I were trying to get... err... intimate with eachother. She's annoying. XP
Bekka's cool, though. Weird how those tubes can attatch to her head like that... a bit unnerving, but otherwise, she's cool. She and the Command Wolf pilot (Rick, I think his name was) seem to be doin' the horizontal tango with eachotheer. She pilots a Heldy, I pilot a Heldy. Rick pilots a C-woof, Clyde pilots a C-Woof. Coincidence? Probably. Maybe Heldy pilots and CW pilots are in-explicably drawn to one another...
...Aldo and that tall woman who pilots the Shield Liger seem to be getting along well. I think they'd make an adorable couple. ^______^
We're going to set out in the morning and scout around. Try to get a better idea of what's going on. For now though, I think I'll just lie here next to Clyde... he looks so funny when he sleeps. ^^
...I should probably be worried that we're never gonna get home, buuuuuuuuut... it's kinda hard to worry about stuff after a long, satisfying bout of wild, unrestrained sex. I'll worry tomorrow, I guess. XD

6:01 pm - Surf, sand and sun. Like, ew.
|
Aldo figured the team could use a bit of a break from Zoid battling, so we packed up our stuff, and took an hour long whale shark flight down to the coast for a visit to the beach in Daytan City.
I don't like sun. I spent most of the day sitting under the beach umbrella, whilst the boys... did stuff. Clyde tried to convince me to go swimming with him and Jake, buuuut... no. Sun = ultraviolet rays, which = sunburn. I'm not about to ruin my beautiful, pale, demure Nyxian complextion with a *tan.* XP
Sooooo... yeah. Jake, Aldo, Pammy and Clyde went swimming, and surfing and stuff, whilst I sat under the beach umbrella. Yay, fun. Pammy came back and sat with me under the umbrella for a while, but then she went surfing with Jake and Clyde some more.
Aldo... was running around shirtless. Rawr. I saw more then a few women checking him out, and I don't blame them. Aldo's quite the hunk. He could be a male model. X>
After sitting around doing basically nothing, I decided to apply a few layers of sunscreen and venture out into the hideous *light.* I couldn't go swimming; I have glasses, which I'd probably lose whilst swimming. I strutted around in my uber s3x3h bikini, and recieved a bit of praise from the local surfer boys. After that, I decided to go get my Hel Digunner and go for a little underwater adventure.
I explored around a bit in my Heldy... saw some coral reefs, and the occasional feral Warshark, Diploguns and Mosasledge... luckily, none of them attacked me. I also stumbled across a wreck of an Ultrasaurus from the old war. The thing was barely intact; it was overgrown with algae and rust and stuff, and its head was missing... it was interesting to look at, though. Not far from it, I found what appeared to be a couple of Death Stinger carcasses, and a few sunken Hammerheads. I guess there must have been a navel battle there long ago. It was pretty cool; I took pictures.
After that, I returned. The sun was going down a bit by then, so I was a tad more comfortable. We had a barbecue, and Aldo made hot dogs and burgers. Yum. ^^
After that, we returned to Zay City. Overall, not a bad day. Started off a bit rough, buuuut it got more interesting later on. Hooray.
...How the hell does a Heldy get barnacles from only a couple hours or so at sea? God damn it, I'm going to have quite a bit of fun scraping barnacles off its armour later. <_<
current mood: A good day, overall.
current music: Wipeout

6:18 pm - Corporate goons! Leave me alooone!
|
Is it just me, or do I have a sign tied around my neck that says "Walking Advertising Gimmick?"
I guess word must've gotten out what specific brand of cigarettes I smoke, (Landine Lights, in case you're curious) because I got an offer from the Landine Tabacco Corporation to be their spokesperson. They offered to be Team Atro Venator's official sponsor if I accepted their offer.
I was just going to shoot 'em down right then and there. I've been a smoker for seven years now, and I'm never quitting, but it's not a habit that I condone. It's a bad habit that eats up a lot of money, and I don't want to convince others to start... but a corporate sponsor could really help out the team. So, I decided to talk to Aldo about it.
I told to Aldo about the offer, and my views on the subject. He said that I didn't have to do it if I was morally opposed to it, and that he'd turn them down anyway, because having a tobacco company as our corporate sponsor wouldn't set a very positive image for Team Atro Venator. So, I called 'em up, and told them that I wouldn't be their sponsor.
Soooo, there ya have it. Another coporate venture shot down before it could begin. This little incident has made me consider switching brands...
...Nah. *Lights up*

9:14 am - Pissedoffbisexualchainsmokin'heldigunnerbitch MK II
|
I was poking around the "Zoids: Guardian Century" section on kewlfnafiction.nyx...
I found some god-awful fic by someone called "Sadaki Mazaki"... ack. It was a Brock/Draven fic, no less. I love Yaoi, but not when it's that poorly done and OOC... argh. >_< Brock and Draven is SUCH a boring pairing, too... it's been done a gazillion times before... and they were so OOC, too! Grah. Draven's done nothing but torment Brock and try to kill the people he cares about! WHY would Brock feel ANY sort of attraction to him is beyond me... Brock/Draven can be done, but it requires alot of development leading up to it for it to work, you can't just have 'em wake up and be "OMG I'm gay!!!" like that... and it doesn't make Brock/Draven any less boring and cliched. ;p
And what's the point of turning Draven into such a pussy!? If you're going to write a manly man and a pseudo girl, why not just write het!? Argh. And the lemons... I can enjoy a lemon if it's well written, but 99.9% of them are god-awful. And a good percentage of the people who write 'em have no idea what they're doing, either. ;p
Good Yaoi is so hard to find these days. Looking at fics like these, the future of slash seems bleak... But then again, there's always Pammy. She writes *exellent* Yaoi. Good for her. ^_____^

9:27 pm - Cupcakes!
|
Yeah. In case you couldn't guess from the title of tis entry, I made cupcakes today.
...Well... actually, Aldo made them. He's an awesome cook. But I helped! I put sprinkles on them! He made vanilla cupcakes, and chocolate cupcakes. They were delicious. ^_^
Dunno exactly *why* Aldo felt the need to make cupcakes all of a sudden... but he's been all stressed out about round five, so I guess making cupcakes is his way of relaxing.
Jake licked the eggbeaters... and the bowl... and he ate what was left of the icing too. He's so cute sometimes. Child-like, almost. He's a kid at heart, and he takes it in stride.
Day eight of attempting to cut back.
Argh. Fuck. You know what? Screw cutting back. I can find some other way to save money. I'm having a god damn cigarette.

5:07 pm - Man, am I lazy...
|
Aieee... Jake, Clyde, Aldo, start updating your journals! Your lazyness is rubbing off on me!
Right. Anyway...
Clyde and I went on a date yesterday. Our only actual date since our first date about... almost two and a half months ago? Damn... personally, I don't like actual "dates" that much. I prefer to just boot Aldo and Jake out of the base and spend quality time alone with Clyde. This time, though, Aldo put his foot down and told me that if Clyde and I wanted privacy, we'd have to go out. I don't blame him, I guess... he's been all stressed trying to figure out a battle plan for the fifth round, so I guess he wanted to stay at the base and think or something.
So, yeah. Aldo kicked me and Clyde out of the base, and we took the Gustav out and drove around.
We drove around for a bit, and chatted about stuff... then we stopped at a Joes Diner and got some lunch. We brought our food to a park and had a fast food picnic. We joked around a bit, trying to guess what kind of animal they'd used for the meat. :p
After lunch, we drove around some more, and found this cute little carnival. I guess the NZBT was holding some kind of event or something. It was fun... there was a Gunblaster that'd been modified into a merry-go-round. It was cute, but I'm more of a roller-coater kind of girl. The roller coaster looked kind of decrepit, though, so we figured it'd be best to avoid it. :p
Clyde played this cheesy glidoler shooting game and won me an adorable pink plush Zaber Fang. I named it "Floofer." ^___^
We wandered around a bit, and we found one of those Tunnel of Love Things. X> So silly... the water was desgusting and filled with algae, and the wooden Ultrasaurus boats looked rotton, but we took a ride on it anyway. A bit of frisky pokes and smooches and grabs in the dark led from one thing to another... we decided to leave the carnival after that and find a hotel. I'm sure you can fill in the blanks from there. ;p We showed back up at the base around 3:00 am, and crashed for several hours afterward. And, here I am, updating my journal.
...Day four of attempting to cut back. I'm still twitchy.
I want a cigarette.
NOW.

Woah... holycrapupdatetime...
...Heldy's fine now. Not only is she better, but she's working at 100% efficiany and has made a full recovery! I can stop angsting now! Yaaaay! I'm very relieved she's in better condition...
Right. Now, I'm sure you're all dying to hear what I've been up to the past five days, so I'm gonna tell you.
...I've been trying to cut back a bit on the coffee and cigarettes. I certainly don't intend on actually *quitting* (sorry, Clyde. ;p), but I could use a bit more money, and it'd be better for me. I've gotten down to a little bit under half a pack a day. Not bad... but I'm getting all twitchy from nicotine withdrawal. DearlordIwantacigarette...T_T
Clyde was hanging out with me earlier, and stumbled across some of my old poetry... man, was THAT ever embarassing... I'd forgotten how awful it was... nevermind that Clyde's a critic... god. Clyde poked gentle fun at it, and we both kinda picked it apart and laughed at it.
...I'm just glad he never found any of my old fanfiction or RPG characters... lord knows Pammy's already pecked them apart enough... Clyde would probably laugh and crumple to the floor, rolling about in hysterics. :p
I've been working on schematics for a custom part... an improved Hel Digunner engine, for those of you who are interested. Maybe if we win the tournament, I'll spend my share of the prize money on developing this custom part of mine...
Oh, and I have Hel Digunner slippers now. They're so cute! ^_____^

*Sighs*
I'm sure y'all are wondering why I haven't been updating recently...
...I was taking my Hel Digunner out for a test run the other day. I noticed her core output was rather low, despite having been well fed and properly maintained... I ran a systems check on her, but I couldn't locate the source of the problem, so I took her in to see a professional Zoirian. (Zoid Core Veterenarian.)
He examined her core, and concluded she had an infection, most likely caused by coming into contact with Zoid fecal matter. I wondered how she could have come into contact with any fecal matter, and then he showed me a scan he took of the Hel Digunner's exoskeleton. Turns out that the waste emmision conduit ruptured somehow, fausing waste product to leak into her other systems and re-circulate back to the core, which were then absorded by the core, causing an infection. It's a good thing I noticd the reduction in core activity, or the Hel Digunner could have died.
He gave me some medicine, and told me to give it to the Hel Digunner once a day. She has to stay still and allow her auto-repair systems to repair the waste emission conduit, and in the meantime, I have to give her the medicine to keep the core from dying.
I'd go in there and repair the ruptured conduit myself, but Zoid feces are radioactive, so I could die if I try to... all I can do is give her the medicine and hope that she pulls through.
Clyde, Jake and Aldo have been very supportive, though... helping me look after Heldy, trying to keep me in high spirit... I love them all so much. ^^
I hope Hel Digunner will be okay... I can't bear to think what would happen if I lost her...
current mood:  sad

8:25 pm - Damn Zombie Kids...
|
Humph.
...I'm a member of an online Zoids RPG called "Zoids Eternal Requium," or ZER for short.
Argh... so many Zombie kids... annoying, cliched characters, excsessive Geno Breakers and Blade Ligers and Shadow Foxes... it's not even really an RPG, it's more like just some random battle arena... no character development whatsoever...
It's stupid. I'm in a battle against some person named "Batsukami Marasume", who pilots a Blade Liger... he's so cheap! He just dodges everything, is excessively twinky... one of those "my shots hit and yours don't" types. I try to be fair, but the guy squeezes in a bajillion different moves into a single post. I've pointed out several times that half the stuff he's doing isn't even physically possible, and he just wines about it... I had to get a mod...
THEN some doofus made some custom Geno whatsit in the custom shop... stupid ZK... that Geno thing he made wouldn't WORK. It'd collapse, run out of energy, melt and explode all at once. A Zoid can only carry so much equipment...
Hmph. Oh well... they can play around on their little RPG and pretend to be uber as much as they want, but I can take some consolation in knowing they'd get their asses kicked in a *real* Zoid battle. ;p

10:36 am - Yay!
|
We went into battle against team Kagekami yesterday, and we won! Man, was it a good fight, too!
Jake and Clyde were caught off guard by a sneak attack... Jake took on Dameon and his Kingliger, and Clyde battled the Keiths and their Shadow Arms Lizard. I launched a little sneak attack of my own, and ripped off the SAL's leg, and then the Kingliger charged at me and Aldo's Gojulas Giga shot it down.
Aldo fought his arch nemesis as well... I'll let Aldo give you the details when he gets around to starting his LJ, but he did a pretty good job. No matter what that asshole did, Aldo still managed to defeat him.
We had a great big victory party at the base when we got back. The drinks poured freely, there was lots of loud music and crazyness, and a good time was had by all. (I <3 red wine. ^_____^) Aldo didn't have anything to drink, of course.
...Ugh... hangoverrrr... my heaaad... hm. Maybe I'll give you the details on the party later, or maybe let one of the others tell you. Right now, my head hurts, and I feel sick. :p

8:23 am - It's coming soon...
|
*Bounces up and down*
EEEEEEEEEEE!!! Round four of the National Zoid Battling Tournament begins soon! I can't wait! ^_^
Nothing's better then a good Zoid battle, IMO. (Well... I can think of ONE thing that's better... ;) ) I'm so psyched up for it! I can't wait!
Heldy's fully repaired, cleaned, fed, and the combat system is devoid of errors. The Beam Cannon's power cell is fully charged, claws and teeth have been sharpened to a fine edge, everything's been checked and rechecked, and she's in perfect working order. Eeeeeeeee! I can't WAIT to go into battle! ^_________^
Our battle will be against team Kagekami (AKA: The "Shadow Gods". Pfffttt. Gimmie a break. How pretentious can you get? 9_9)They have a Kingliger, a Shadow Arms Lizard, a Command Wolf and a Gojulas the Ogre. A fairly impressive menagerie... we'll still beat 'em, though. ;)
Round four! W00t! I can't wait! Let's get 'em, Hel Digunner!
current mood: Feisty!
