Saw Tron: Legacy last Friday. Loved it. :) Much awesomeness and win.

Still need to see Voyage of the Dawn Treader and Tangled.

...And want to see Tron again. ^^; Soon. XD

Also, been sick for over a week now (almost two), and I'm ready for it to go away.

Lots of work coming up (including an 11-hour parade shift on New Year's Eve. x_x)

Also...some friends are wanting me to write fanfic (for Tron and a few other things). Do I? Or don't I?

:D
[info]manga_queen
WOOT!!! Last night, I was in a guild run through ICC and we downed the Lich King. We'd been trying for several days, and managed it last night. I now have the Kingslayer title. :D!

I'm VERY, VERY happy about this. It was a great group, an we knew we could do it. Second try last night, we'd already made it to the second transition phase. We just kept going and going. And we did it. *SQUEES!!!*

NaNo Word Count
[info]manga_queen
I wrote 4,170 words today. I'm amazed that I managed that, but I'm happy. It's all I've written so far for NaNo, but if I keep it up, I can get NaNo done. Now, must sleep. Have work tomorrow. Won't be home until after 11:00pm because of it. -_-

4170 / 50000
(8.34%)


But hey, I at least get to kinda see the Christmas Fantasy Parade and "Believe...In Holiday Magic" fireworks. And the fireworks mean I get to see the "snow" they do. :D It's just supposed to be VERY, VERY crowded. D:

*sigh*
[info]manga_queen
...I told myself that I wasn't going to claim any [info]springkink prompts...but I did anyways. Not as many as normal, though. And I have quite a few days where I have none.

Plus, I have over a month to get them done...

Saying that, though, isn't going to make it any easier to finish them with work, but I'm definitely going to be starting today, since I'm off.

And, on the plus side, I've been working nights at Disneyland, mainly, so I have during the day (when I'm not at my other job), to do them. XD;

Guess I should go ahead and get started on them, huh? ^_^

And I've finally managed to get them done...
[info]manga_queen
The Soundwave Icons that is...XD

Made them for [info]ultharkitty (sorry it took so long. I blame work and being unable to find my flashdrive that had the pics of Soundwave on it. XDD), but anyone can use them. Credit would be nice for anyone who decides to use them, but I'm not going to get bent out of shape if you don't credit me.

And, no, I'm not very creative with them...well I wasn't right now anyways...maybe I'll make more at some point that are a bit better. XD

http://s1015.photobucket.com/albums/af278/mangaqueenfanworks/Transformers/Icons/Decepticons/Soundwave/

...Let me know if the link doesn't work. Photobucket keeps refusing to load for me, so I don't know if it's going to work. :/

Haven't posted in a while...
[info]manga_queen
BUT, I finally have something to post. XD

While I was training for Jungle Cruise, one of the other Cast Members mentioned something, and I wanted to post it. It's Weird Al's new single: "Skipper Dan."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNo8LvdOwSk

Watch it! It's hilarious. XDD (And so very suiting...)

Seen a lot of people with these, so I decided to get one, too. XD

Just click on it to feed them. They'll follow the cursor around, too. And, if you want one of your own, you just have to click on the little icon thing on the top left corner of the "pond" to get one.


:D!!!

I finally did it last night. I hit level 80 on WoW. :D

And I made sure to get the pictures when I did.

Now, I can start doing heroics with my friends. ^_^

Not only that, but I respecced some. I went from around 12,000 mana to around 14,000, which is what I really need, since I'm a Holy Paladin.

Also, on another topic, I love working at Disneyland. Sure, it's exhausting, but it's still lots of fun. ^^ I just hope I'm better before Thursday. *is sick and has a night shift on Thursday* Even if I'm not, this isn't something huge. Probably just a cold or something.

And now, I go sleep. ^^;

[info]manga_queen
I know I haven't said anything about them lately. I'm still working on them. It's probably going to take a little while, because I still need to get a lot of the yarn. Once I get it, I'll try to finish them as quickly as possible. ^^

Question...
[info]manga_queen
Does anyone here on my friend's list know anything about making a website? If so, I'm trying to get a program called efiction to work for the layout, and it won't. I have no clue why, or what to do.

http://efiction.org/

That's the thing I'm trying to use. It'll make the site a fanfiction archive-type thing. I don't know what's wrong In the instructions on the efiction site, it says I need to finish installation from the site, but when I try, it doesn't do anything.

Also, I don't know if it'd have anything to do with it, but the ftp client I use is FileZilla.

Help please?

So, [info]starofsacrifice mentioned something about posting pics of hers (from WoW) on her LJ again, so I decided that I'm going to, too. Instead of posting them separately, I'm going to post links to them, and what they are. Enjoy~

Pics of my character, and some with my friend )

Pets and Mounts )

So...
[info]manga_queen
A few people over on [info]elite_eggs had some new adoptables. I decided to check it out...and of course I decided to get one. -_-

Dragonadopters

It could use clicks to go up levels and such, but, as far as I can tell, it doesn't exactly NEED them. I'll just have to feed it and such once it hatches.

Scarf update
[info]manga_queen
It's taking longer than I thought to make them. There's a good chance that I won't get them out until after Christmas, but I'll still be sending them.

If anyone who hasn't said so wants one, feel free to comment here, send me a private message (here or on AIM [prowlieboy]), or send me an email at amandalynnesmith@gmail.com . Just let me know the colors. When I finish them, I'll comment back/email/send a message asking for an adress to send it to.

List so far )

Once I get one done, if anyone wants to see what it'll look like, I'll take a picture and show you.

So, I've been thinking...
[info]manga_queen
Scary, huh? XD

Anyways, I decided to do it for two of my friends already, so I figured I'd open it up to anyone of my f-list, too. I decided, last night, to try my hand at crocheting again, and I'm actually doing pretty well. I'm going to try to make scarves for people for Christmas.

So, if you're interested in one, just comment with your favorite colors, and I'll choose from them and make one. (If you have a color you like more than the others, just say so, and I will use it.) Um...sometime later, I'll probably make a post so I can get addresses, but I'm bad with screening comments (which is why I'm not doing it now).

Actually, if you want one, and want to go ahead and send me your address, too, you can email it to me at amandalynnesmith@gmail.com.

^_^

I'll probably keep a running tab on here.

To Make )

Oh, and, if you're interested, there's also a kind of yarn I can get for them that's kinda like it's feathered (like a boa). Don't remember what it's called, but I can use it, too. Only thing there is that the colors might be limited. I'll post an update when I find that out.

My mom posted this on her LJ this morning, and she asked me to pass it on to anyone on my f-list that she doesn't have one her's.

Please go take a look at this link:
http://blackperson.livejournal.com/207448.html

I know that lot of people on my f-list don't have too much money to spare, but if you could even donate $1 to help them out, please do. Also, please pass it on to your f-lists.

If you saw me in a police car, what would you think I got arrested for?

So...someone on the community [info]elite_eggs had another kind of adoptable called ponystars, so I just kinda had to make an account. They're REALLY cute (they kinda remind me of My Little Ponies).

Here's my account if anyone wants to see my two. I need to name one of them, still.

I never posted the ones I took on my field trip at the end of September, and I decided to do it the easy way; I made a scrapbook of it on Photobucket. So, here it is.

Mammoth Field Trrip

You're going to have to click on it, but it'll take you to the whole thing. ^^ Enjoy. :D

Yeah, I'm hooked on WoW now. XD;;

It's too fun. I made a two characters today, one to level up on my own, one to level up with my friend.

My Blood Elf Mage (the one on my own) is on level 10.

My Blood Elf Paladin (the one to level up with my friend) is almost on level 10.

And my friends are AWESOME to play with. :D It's so much more fun than it would be to play alone. Both of them are still on Sentinels. Need to make some on other servers so I can play with other people, too. ^_^

Apparently, I can have 10 characters PER SERVER...and there are a LOT of servers. XD

I need to make another Troll, though. When I was using her, the game froze. I did what they said to try to fix it, and it didn't help, so I had to delete her. :< I plan on making another, though.

Anyways, time to go to bed. Brain is dead from playing so much today. XD

Interview is over. I think it went well. The lady seemed to like my personality.

She really liked my answers and seemed to like that I've been to Disneyland as much as I have. (I think she was kinda surprised that I've gone as much as I have this year, but she seemed to like it. :D)

She didn't say it directly, but she seemed to think my personality fit retail or attraction (which is what were my two top choices). It sounded like she thought I'd be really good for the attractions.

Sadly, I have to wait 3-4 weeks to hear whether or not I got the job. *fingers crossed*

So...
[info]manga_queen
On Wednesday, people from Disney were at my school. They have a college program, and were doing a presentation. Basically, we get credit for classes, we get paid, we take classes at Disneyland, and we get to work at the park.

I've done the application, and the web-interview. Now, there's just the phone interview (and, I think, and in-person one). It pays $9.05-$11.50/hour, and it'll be 28-35 hours per week for sure.

Benefits:
being able to bring 3 people for free for 16 visits
free admission for myself
discounts on merchandise/food/hotels
special events for cast members

I just hope I get it. It starts in January, and goes for 5-6 months, I think. Also, after that, they usually hire the students part-time.

In other news...I've decided where I want to transfer to, and it'll be hell to get in there. I want to go to CalTech, because I've decided I want to do seismology. I'm gonna have to work really hard to get in. Other than that, I have no clue about any back-up colleges. I should probably figure that out.

So...[info]starofsacrifice and a few of my other friends managed to convince me kicking and screaming to play World of Warcraft.

It's addictive. I've only been playing a few days, and I'm on level 13 with my character. I'm having a lot of fun, and my friends are awesome! :D

I'm actually beginning to wish I had started playing sooner. XD

I can't wait to get the paid account (I'm doing the free trial version), because I want to make a Blood Elf Paladin. :D

So, for any of my friends who play (and I'm not currently playing with), if you wanna meet up with my character at some point, her name is Tanare. Just let me know what yours are. ^_^
