What's Really Going On...

Mon, 10 Dec 2007 15:52:15 GMT

Hi guys. For those of you that remember me..... I'm makin' a move back to LJ. GJ seems to be crashing and, oh jeez! Gonna be moving both the games I mod over here (+ the developing 'Murder Gang' group) as far as I can tell right now since IJ and CJ are both FAILING.

I am, however, no longer gonna be using this account. Feel free to add me at sobollywood. I will also be getting my icons from GJ over to LJ now. Oh jeez.

Believe it or not.....

I am alive.

I've not been feeling the ability to be so transparent lately. Maybe it's because my online world has grown so much, maybe it's because I'm worried about parts of who I am, maybe it's because I'm becoming a harder person. I don't really know.

But I am alive, and I am on the computer all the dang time, and I am... yeah. I'm me. A growing me, a changing me, a busy me, a nagging me, but me.

And, if you have a GJ name.. let me know. I update there more often.

Tue, 06 Mar 2007 03:04:01 GMT

Okay. So last you heard I was modding one game.

Now I'm modding two.

o_O

Friday morning I got onto AIM when I was in the office just long enough to see if Cody was on and Manda (the mod at Rev) pinged me to go "I NEED TO TALK TO YOU." I asked if she could go on G-Talk and .. well.. she asked if I loved Rev... but I didn't really know what to say because it had been kinda feeling odd there since there had not been a lot of direction in it lately and I was bummed about not having any plot for Hermione *still* ... and then she laid it all out.

She and the other mod wanted Gail and I to take it over. Gail and I talked for a long time about it, about where we wanted to see the game go, about who would do what.. We both have put so much into those characters that we couldn't just let it go.

And so we said yes.

So, now, here I am. o_O Modding two gigantic games at once. But I love the people, I love the stories.... And it's going to work.

This week is absolutely crazy for me because I'm packing, getting work ready to live without me, dealing with RL dramas, and restablishing Rev while doing a bunch of work on TT and also doing my own RPs... But.... Its good. And I'll have a NICE LONG VACATION sOON!!!

TT, OTP, USA

Mon, 26 Feb 2007 08:08:10 GMT

SO.. I opened my first game. WOOHOO!! It's been going for 8 days right now and we are at a current cast of 43 characters with 3 apps in the inbox to go through and 3 other holds that I trust will come to fruitation. YAY!

I'm so bloody excited because, to be completely frank, I was very nervous before the game began. Once I started adverting for TT I realized that there were about six other 7th year games opening in the span of two weeks-- YIKES! I thought we wouldn't get a good group of players, or that no one would apply... but... wow. The response has been amazingly encouraging. Also, Cody had had some RL emergencies and I spent the week before the game opened having to deal with applications (something that is his favorite thing, and my LEAST favorite thing!!!!) by myself and doing all the other setup. I was..erm.. a bit panicked... However, it has ended up to flow amazingly, he has come back and is faithfully labouring at my side. The group is already getting quite closeknit and there are some incredible plots about to come through. Cody and I have set up a complete horcrux plot that we are keeping as secret as possible.
And the purty banner I made for the game... ^_^

Game Info if you wanna check it out.

Annnnnnnnd you wanna know what my current 'OTP' is?

Minerva/Tom ... Cody and I decided that in order to make the whole 'McGonagall is a death eater' premise even more exciting and beliveable to do a series of backstory threading regarding their relationship together. Okay, so many its not really an 'OTP' but it is certainly the most interesting relationship that I've ever been writing! We did our first thread between the two last night. Check it out - You might find it interesting!

SoOooOooOoo... I've been busy with work... won't be able to use AIM at work this week.. and am getting very anxious and nervous as I prepare to get ready to go to the states. I am nervous about being around people that I haven't seen for ages.. Nervous about how it will be with my family, how I will deal with the COMPLETE culture change. I am preparing myself to no longer feel 'at home' at my..... home.

BUT I have some exciting things that are going to happen.... Liiiiiiiike spending several days at Tiff's, hopefully seeing Eve, JL, and AV (I gotta talk to you guys about the dates!!!)

Sooooooooooooooooooooooo............ yeah.

Wow

Okay. It's been ages and ages since I updated this thing. To be honest, the month of December was full of craziness and busyness that would have been a bit boring for me to recount here, but it was... insane.

At the same time, this amazing game on GJ Revelation RPG opened and totally ate and sucked my brain out. I originally took on just Hermione Granger, but then Tyla and I decided that it'd be freaking awesome to try out the Patil twins together, and I decided to get out of my Gryffindor bubble and try for some twilightly evil as Padma Patil (now Trowler, 'cuz she just got married). Than I was in love with the game so much that I had to take on another character -- one that wasn't so brooding and burdened... so, of course I had to take on my baby, Lavender Brown and try to bring sunshine and rainbows and baskets of puppies into people's lives.

In the meantime FI had been a bit slow and I will, will, will (promise, promise, promise) be getting myself more into that game as it is reving up, though it is hard to go back after its been a slow month there...

In other news, I had an amazing time today as I got to fulfill something that I have wanted to do for YEARS. I PUT PINK IN MY HAIR. YES. Go look at

all the pretty pictures and comment on what you think about my locks, okay, dearlings?

Uhmm.. so today is my ONE YEAR anniversary in Hong Kong. Got one more year to go and then I can leave if I so desire...

I will be in America in just 8 weeks. Wowah. Can't wait for some Jack in the Box and MEXICAN FOOD. And JAMBA JUICE. Yes. Oh, oh, OH.

So... I recently have been really really really struggling with my non-RPG writing. I need to just plop myself down and get more of it done, but it's been hard for me. I'm so focused on multi tasking that I just can't do it. I need to prepare my sample for the judgey thingy -- I have been delaying this for so long that they might not have a slot open for me. We'll see.

BUT THE GREAT NEWS IS THAT MY GRANDMOTHER IS RENTING A CAR FOR ME THE WHOLE TIME I AM IN THE STATES SO I TOOOOOOTALLY HAVE A WAY TO GET AROUND. YAY.

And I'll try to update more, seriously. There's been quite a bit of internal angst over thinnnnngs and a lot of questions I've been dealing with...

And just because you love me, pimp my PB icon journal (iconsbycate) as much as you can. I'll have over 5,000 icons on there by the end of this week. Icons have become my anti drug. Like. Srsly.

Kia! We should move our bubbles next to each other so we can chat and giggle over things that will never happen -- and we can be happy about it!

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

In October I helped theonlygrl across the street (6 points). In September I pushed kirasha in the mud (-17 points). Last week I caught a purse-snatcher who stole theambertrap's purse (30 points). In July I gave gail_b a life-saving blood transfusion (50 points). In February I stole akarui_sekai's purse (-30 points).

Overall, I've been nice (39 points). For Christmas I deserve a toy train!

Sincerely,
justcate

Sorry about that mud, JL -- :(

But-- but --- I gave Eve a purse, I didn't steal one... *sigh* Oh well... a toy train can't be so bad.

Gail, give me back my blood.

<3

Mon, 06 Nov 2006 14:47:27 GMT

I can't believe it. Its only 10:40 pm... and I'm exhausted.

I made dinner for my two flatmates tonight. Two months ago *all* five of my flatmates moved out on one day... and then I got Bethany and then a month later Ahmee joined us... It was really really really hard to suddenly be without Anny my roommate and everyone else. I get my old flatmates + Bethany starting next week (Ahmee is moving to another flat) and I am looking forward to that and a huge LOST party (I'm waiting till their back so that the 5 of us can have a big ole fashioned LOST party)... Anyways, it is going to be practically impossible for me to make dinner for my flatmates once everyone is back. My rice cooker can't make enough for 'em all...

We *were* going to watch Season 1 of Project Runway which I downloaded, but for some reason it won't work. It worked when it was downloading, but not now. Which makes me angry. I'm a Mac user so not all avis work ... but I have 3 different programs that are supposed to cover all the problems avis present. BLAH. BLAH TO THAT.

I haven't been able to write more than 1,000 words for NP in like .. 5 days. What is wrong with me? :(

Hm. Today I felt really young again. I'm the youngest office keyholder by about 15 (16?) years. I try to not let my age allow me to believe that I am automatically immature or childish, but this weekend I've made two mistakes that are really frustrating. Either I am actually a lot more immature and foolish than I thought, or, well, people are going to think so anyways. BLAH to that too...

Ah, well. I think I will go to bed and therefore have accomplished my 'Limiting self to 2 hours online per weekday.'

I'll give myself a cookie.

<2 (because I dont wanna use a 3 -- see, immature!)

Sat, 04 Nov 2006 05:42:54 GMT

Okay. Happy Cate.

MY INTERNET IS BACK UP AT HOME.

Yes. That is GOOD. GOOD. Very good. And I was able to fix it, so now I know what to do if it dies again! YAY!!!!!!

In other Cate news, I went to the dermetologist yesterday. Now, I'm not quite as bad as Eloise Midgin (though I probably would have garnered her sympathy about a year and a half ago)... but my acne has been frustrating me for a long time. I used to have it a lot worse because I also had food allergies that I didn't know about that were causing me to break out all over my face in ways that made it just look like worse acne. All the topical stuff I tried didn't work, nor did the birth control pills (those just made me feel emotinally mental!). Pro-Active helped keep it from hurting so bad, but it was still there....

And now here I am, eight months after learning about my food allergies and still having bad acne. I have tried other face washes and stuff, even spending lots of money on the recommended things and nothing has happened. I was afraid to go to the dermetologist because I knew it'd be expensive, I don't think my insurance will cover it, and I had this hopeless feeling of, "He won't be able to do anything."

But I finally set up an appointment with the US Consulate recommended dermetologist (he's got like woah number of degrees) and I went yesterday before I hit the Inner City. He talked with me about my acne and explained why the things weren't working. He said it shouldn't be hormonal because my period is regular, and that if I have tried all the different topical things I have that it's certainly not topical. He told me that I need to get aggressive against my acne now (probably a year ago, but, eh) and that he's going to help me with that. He gave me a facewash soap, pills that I have to take two times a day (anti-biotics), and then a cream for the evening (it BURNSSSSS) and a cream for the morning. I'm meeting with him in a week. And yes, it was expensive. About $200 US dollars for the appointment and medicine. -shudder-

But... My skin is worth it, right? Right.

Do my personal laundry
Wash all the communal rags/wash cloths and put them away when dry
Clean my bathroom
Make my room look BEAUTIFUL clean so that I don't need to stress about it before Anny comes back
Write little notes on my 30 newsletters and get them all ready to go in the mail by Monday
Write 8,000 words for NOBODY'S PRINCESS
Finish making new icons for mslavenderbrown and revamp the way I organize her's
Fix the icons on my iconsbycate account and try to adjust the setup so that I can get started working on that pet project of mine again...

Oh. And watch some TV and/or movie with the roomies. <3

Halloween is not a very happy holiday in my personal history. Ten years ago, on this day, was the first day I was ever allowed to go Trick or Treating. That sounds all nice and well, but it was because my parents decided to tell us on that day that they were getting a divorce, and they thought that they would give us a bit of fun to try to give us a better evening.

Right. I sure as heck wanted to get dressed up like a Princess and go parading around the neighborhood, trying to pretend like I hadn’t been bawling my eyes out when I passed by all my friends.

Ah. Memories. I wrote a short story about that day, once… But I think I lost it, oh, four computer crashes ago or something.

On other notes…… I found out that I was given the wrong dates for my furlough. Whoops, and only after I had booked my ticket. One week ago there was a conversation that went something like this:

Cate: Oh, Caryl… did you ever find out if I can have those dates for my vacation?
Caryl: Let me go check with Nancy. (goes away for 10 minutes and comes back) Yeah, she said you can have them.
Cate: Awesome! …. What were they, again?
Caryl: Uhm, April 14th to March 16th.
Cate: Great! (writes it DOWN… calls the travel agent that night to start working on a ticket).

And today there was a conversation that went a little bit like this.

Cate: Caryl, Tryfina asked me to book her ticket while she’s in the mainland. Could you give me her dates?
Caryl: I don’t know what her dates were.
Cate: She mentioned to me that you said she was able to go on the 29th…
Caryl: Yes. So 20 working days after that.
Cate: …20?
Caryl: Yes.
Cate: …You told me 25.
Caryl: No I didn’t. Did you book your ticket for 25?
Cate: Yes, because you told me my names were April 14th to March 16th. That’s 25 working days.
Caryl: Oh well.
Cate: ……But… I booked.. my ticket.. (pulls out her little calendar that she has been penciling things in on)…(gets teary eyed as she tries to figure out what she’s gonna nix)

…………….Gah.

Oh well. I was super upset about it an hour ago… like.. swallowing tears while I answered the phones… but now I’ve decided that I’ll just come home a week later…

But… as my icon says……..

*pout*

Excuse me while I DANCE

Mon, 30 Oct 2006 09:30:03 GMT

Sos, today 'round lunch I call Nana (my mom's mom)-- the COOLEST woman in the world, my absolute favorite living breathing thing.... To catch up on all the Bingo gossip, how all my siblings/cousins are doing, whats the big quilting news and all that.. chat about my upcoming trip to America..

Now, my Nana has come to Hong Kong before. When I lived here for a year she came around the 6th month mark and we spent my two weeks of freedom traveling through China together. It was LOVELY. When I came back here she had talked about wanting to come and visit me. Unfortunetly I don't have much vacation time. Only one month in two years, and I really want to go home to visit.

"So when is your commitment done?"
"January 2008."
"Hm," she said. "Want to go to Australia?"
"What?!"
"Aunt Janet and the family are going to Australia. I saw their travel brochures. Why don't we go there in January?"

Heck freaking yes. All expense paid trip to Australia for me. That's what you get for being the favorite grandkid.

<3

I think someone up there likes me a little bit.

For those of you who are interested...

There's no noise, sorry.

The big white building that you see when I first come in through the black gate is where I work on the 3rd story.

I just got my official dates for my furlough!

I have the dates of March 12th to April 16th off. That means I'm probably going to fly to Cali on Sat, March 10 (I'll arrive 'before' I left if that makes any sense? Time zone stuff)... And then I wil probably fly out on the 14th of April in order to have a day to get adjusted to jet laggy ness.

So, these are the things I am planning on doing...

- Go to the Mount Hermon Writer's Conference ~~and get a book deal~~
- Visit Eve, JL, and Adrienne down in LA and go to DISNEYLAND!! WEEE
- Visit Tiffany in SC, teach her to dance (hehe, remember the promise?) and go out clubbing
- Have a steak and beer with Laura
- Go to Yosemite with Ryan
- Go to Disneyland with Laura (why not go twice?!)
- Talk my old manager into letting me 'work' at Starbucks for 10 minutes.
- Go to the Gap Outlet
- Go to San Francisco for a whole day
- Spend at least 15 hours in Borders with Alexandra (my baby sis)
- Go out and pass out food, clothing, and bibles with the group I helped start at LEAST twice.
- Meet with the kids in my youth who want to be missionaries
- Speaking at 3(?) churches
- See my brother
- Play BINGO with Nana in Newark
- Making dinner for the people who financially support me
- Getting sick at least 10 days from eating food that I am allergic to
- Taking a huge Americans-have-lots-of-allergies-allergy-test rather than then the weak sauce one they offer in Hong Kong to figure out why I'm still getting sick
- Many, many lunch appointments featuring Oliver Garden's Soup and Salad

I am very excited!!!!!! Only.. Ah... 5 months away!

ooo. Love. Love.

The Sonnet
Deliberate Gentle Love Dreamer (DGLDf)

Romantic, hopeful, and composed. You are the Sonnet. Get it? Composed?

Sonnets want Love and have high ideals about it. They're conscientious people, caring & careful. You yourself have deep convictions, and you devote a lot of thought to romance and what it should be. This will frighten away most potential mates, but that's okay, because you're very choosy with your affections anyway. You'd absolutely refuse to date someone dumber than you, for instance.

Your exact opposite:
Genghis Khunt

Random Brutal Sex Master

Lovers who share your idealized perspective, or who are at least willing to totally throw themselves into a relationship, will be very, very happy with you. And you with them. You're already selfless and compassionate, and with the right partner, there's no doubt you can be sensual, even adventurously so.

You probably have lots of female friends, and they have a special soft spot for you. Babies do, too, at the tippy-top of their baby skulls.

ALWAYS AVOID: The 5-Night Stand, The False Messiah, The Hornivore, The Last Man on Earth

CONSIDER: The Loverboy

Wed, 18 Oct 2006 08:02:27 GMT

I thought I was okay.

And then while mopping the office during what should have been my lunch hour (was restless, couldn't stay seated)... I just broke down in sobs.

Can I stay here till January 2008? Right now it doesn't seem possible. I feel ready to call Nancy and tell her "Sorry, I'm leaving after Christmas," and calling my family and letting them know I'm coming home.

I'm so ready that I'm looking at plane fares.

Roundtrip Ticket from Hong Kong to San Fransisco? $520

One way ticket? $380

...That's so... tempting.

God, what do you want me to do?

[ Written Last Night at McDonalds, heehee ]

Why the sudden influx of various live journal entries? Well, because I have nothing to post on the games, heehee.

Right now I am writing this on the third story of the McDonalds that I generally go to when I write. Usually I sit in ‘McCafe’ – do they have those in America? I don’t think they do, but I’m not sure right now. Anyways, it’s cheaper than Starbucks. I like their hot chocolate. But it’s still more expensive than a diet coke ;) And the good seats at McCafe were all taken so I decided to go upstairs and sit among the normal folk.

I wrote two pages of “Nobody’s Princess.” I wish I had the original version of the second chapter. I loved that first chapter. Right now I just can’t get the right feeling … But, it will come.

571 words. Not many. I’ll do more, hopefully…

Word Counts.

Yup. I used to keep track of all that I wrote. I read once that until you had written over a million words of fiction, you were not a writer. When I was back in America and was struggling with full time work and full time school and the deep desire to be a writer I started making myself commit to measuring how much writing I did, and pushing myself to make goals. It worked… I finished Book One of Venya and did over 100 pages of Book Two (all lost in the Great Computer Crash of February) due to my goals. They were effective, and I loved to meet them.

Back at the end of April I restarted Venya and kept track of how quickly I was able to work. I kept track of the number of words I wrote in a day, and how many pages. In less than one month I wrote over 100 pages and over 74,000 words. That’s 7% of that million words that some man said I need to be a writer. In just a month.

I used to be able to do that. Now I am back to where I was back in April. Hard going. It’s been so long since I visited these characters that I hardly know them anymore … Since all of Nobody’s Princess has been destroyed, I have nothing to read of that. Only notes on paper that I will transcribe sometime this week…

I feel loved..

Tue, 17 Oct 2006 08:54:10 GMT

I don’t have long to write this, so I just want to offer my deep thanks to everyone and their support. It means a lot to me … I’ve never had so many people comment on my LJ, haha (though I haven’t had it that long)… It meant a lot to me to be able to come into the office today and see all the love. Really.

Things are going to be a bit better now that our director is here. People don’t have as much freedom to lord over me, I suppose. I find it hard to trust certain people, now that I have seen how much they are willing to let pride rule their lives and their hearts and let it effect me.

I still miss RPG a lot and it took quite a bit of willpower to keep myself from checking my games. Okay, I’ll admit it – I sneaked a peak at MaM, just to see if Kia had posted for me as Cho :x bad Cate!!!

In other news … I have watched movies recently, which I hadn’t for a long time! V for Vendetta and Something Like Love. Both rather good movies. I’m also getting back into Gilmore Girls, heehee. I’m on the last DVD for Season 4.

Uhm.. and I’m almost done reading a book. Wow. I haven’t finished a book in about 2 months (unless it was an HP one on audiobook) because I’ve been way too busy posting in the games …

And, perhaps most importantly… tonight I will resurrect my tradition of ‘writing nights’ where I go out somewhere to work on a novel. I usually go to ‘McCafe’ in Yuen Long since it’s closest … but I’m even feeling a bit adventurous – I think I am going to go to Starbucks at Tsing Yi. Watch out, world.

9 Month Anniversary

I'm still alive. It's just that the internet is still dead in my village. Which would be why I am always on line at an internet cafe. But at least now I have my laptop and I can use it at the cafe.

In other news ... I have now been in Hong Kong for 9 full months. This means that I can now date -- WOO HOO. Hahah. Ah, too bad there's no one too date. Darn.

And for those of you that don't know what I'm talkin' about ... Here in Hong Kong the leadership give a 9month 'relationship' probation to anyone. That means that when you join staff you are not allowed to start any new relationship/dating/courtship/blahblahblah with anyone. I was a good girl and followed the rules. Not like there was anyone I really liked that came around .. Except, hm.. well, we'll see what happens.

So, to celebrate me being in Hong Kong nine months .. here is a map of Hong Kong. The best way to show Hong Kong is seriously through our Public Transportation maps. So... ther black star is my village and the green star is the town that I generally spend my time in (like where this internet cafe is).

And here is what I see when I am actually at my own home on the internet ... two ancient temples right outside my window. Which sometimes means scary firecrackers going off at random times. Which .. um, equals neck pain for Cate.

Hope ya'll liked 'em.

Oh yeah. Today I had a crazy dance performance thing that also involved me attempting to teach drama to tons of crazy kids. Someone was taking loads of pictures, and so even though I looked like a frizzy wildabeast in a bright lime green team t-shirt, I will probably post some when I get them.

MaM hasn't even started officially.

But the past two night's I've had dreams about mschochang and proper_paradox.

OMG. It's official.

RPG has taken over my life.
