Jan. 25th, 2013 01:16 amAs a head's up, I'm going to be scarce this following week because my reading has quadrupled because of a presentation. I have a couple of important threads going on that I intend to continue, but I won't be starting anything new!
SCHOOL SCHEDULE.
Jan. 13th, 2013 11:36 pmSchool starts tomorrow! This means that you should account for me being spotty for random intervals between classes and related things!
Monday: Medieval Women and Family 2:30-5:00
this is the one that requires the most work.
Thursday: Writing East: Outremer and Identity in the Middle Ages 2:30-5:00
I am also hypothetically writing a thesis (this is not actually that hypothetical). However, most of that is started and researched for, so.

Jan. 5th, 2013 10:44 pmHey! So, I thought we'd do better talking here, if you guys don't mind.

Sep. 3rd, 2012 12:22 amSo, hey! School starts for me on Tuesday (so, technically tomorrow for me, but it's only been Monday for fifteen minutes), so here's my schedule. It's a lot more succinct than last year, but yeah:
Monday
Medieval Religious Cultures 2:30-5:00
For this class specifically, I have translation exercises, heavy reading, and a 2-5 page paper every week, so this will be a lot of work!
Tuesday
French for Reading 4:15-6:45
What this means is that I'll be unlikely to be around on Monday and Tuesday for the next while. I tend to go out with my classmates after class. I'll update this for my clubs (German and Latin reading groups) when I know that they're happening.

Jul. 7th, 2012 03:13 pmALSO, questions meme! I hit a thousand with Peter and Natasha recently, so hit me up with some questions. Anything goes. You ask me a question, I answer and then ask you a question.
My characters are Roxas, Sam, Santana, Lightning, Paul, Hal, Natasha, and Peter/Spider-Man.

Jun. 30th, 2012 02:28 amSomehow, I just booked myself solid through the holiday for socializing, so I'll be scarce until July 5th! However, that is when my roommate and I have decided that we will definitely be apartment hunting, so I will ... keep things updated about when we move and things.

Jun. 25th, 2012 03:11 pmHey, I wasn't around much and you seem to be pretty quick on everything. Why do you think it's weird that the wolves took out someone who was inactive?
(no subject)
Jun. 25th, 2012 01:50 pmSo, hey. We only talked for a couple seconds before I slipped off, but would you be willing to talk to me? And, um, I guess explain why you voted differently from everyone else. You said that things sounded uneven and one-sided, so maybe it's that, but I'm curious.

Jun. 25th, 2012 01:47 pmHey, uh. Sorry for poking you about this, but would you mind filling me in about what happened yesterday? I was kind of out of it, and I'm a little behind. And if I keep being behind, the shepherd's gonna make us keep losing privileges or whatever, which is really dumb.
Need a Spider-Man?
Jun. 16th, 2012 04:28 amEver have a dangerous situation and you need to have someone rescue your character? Well, Spider-Man is here to help. This is for those times when you can't get a hold of someone else. You know how it goes.
Drop a link here and I will figure out a way to get Peter into the thread.

Inner monologue.
Jun. 16th, 2012 04:21 amLike when I played Dick, I'm planning on doing a running monologue ... on occasion with Peter. It might just be the first tag into a post because sometimes it is hard to do that the entire time in a thread. It'll mostly be in action tags.
Akin to Bendis' choice of bubbles for Peter (his is actually lighter, but y'know), the font will be this color. Not bolded, though.
Example:
[ So. A giant squid. A giant squid responsible for sexual harassment of most of the male population in camp. And for some reason, it's decided I'm its one true love. She? She, sorry about that Marcy. Uh, not that you can hear me, anyway. ]
If that color is too light, I'll find a darker shade. I keep a dark screen to avoid any sudden colors and even then, I know how one off-set tone can mess with your eyes (as it does ... for me, at times).
Also, depending on how things go and comfort level (meaning, if it turns out to be more of a pain or I, uh, end up forgetting it more times than not), I might drop this.

SPIDER-SENSE.
Jun. 16th, 2012 04:17 amDoes your character usually approach people with ill-intent and there is always a possibility of violence in a thread? PLEASE COMMENT HERE. Peter's spider-sense will go off, either from talking or if they're anywhere near someone. If you would rather he not get warnings, that's cool. It's usually "there is danger danger in this thread, back out" sort of thing. It won't be like, if they're in the same post together, Peter will warn everyone.
Also, Peter can totally get slapped without it going off. If someone is just frustrated with him, it doesn't count as "danger," so to speak.
If you have any questions, please go ahead!

Character: Peter Parker / “Spider-Man”
Series: Ultimate Spider-Man (Comics)
Character Age: 16
Canon: After an amped up spider bites him, Peter Parker finds his life turned upside down when he realizes he has the powers of a spider. While he initially follows a money-making route to help out his family, the loss of his uncle because of a selfish mistake makes him realize he has to take responsibility for his actions and help as many people as he can. As Spider-Man, Peter grapples with his own sense of duty and the ridiculous supervillains and journalists hellbent on ruining his life.
Spider-Man never really shuts up. This is because of the confidence that Peter receives while wearing the mask, and it is this that allows him to show off his smart-mouthed and clever personality while out for justice. “Helpfully,” Peter quippily commentates his fights with stupid jokes made up almost entirely of pop culture references, which cuts down the bad guys with more than just fists. These guys deserve to be annoyed along the way, and while it might be reckless, Peter still takes his job seriously, going out of his way to help anyone he can with little regard for himself. He takes responsibility for every mistake, every screw up, and he tries to make up for them. Without the mask, Peter doesn’t stand out as much. Sure, he’s a teen genius, aces all his classes, and treats people well even if he’s been bullied all his life, but more times than not, he’s just an awkward teenager who kept himself together despite only recently having a solid group of friends. Mask on or off, there are times when Peter is stubborn, temperamental, and refuses to listen, but he’s always had the makings of a hero. Now that he’s come into his own, nothing can stop him from doing what’s right.
Sample Post:
So, what do you think came first: the evil director or the summer camp with the dumb name? Wow, tough crowd! Okay, so it didn’t flow that well in my head either, but come on, that wasn’t even worth a point-five on the Gorilla Fist to Ground Richter Scale! Or as I like to call it, the Gorrichter Scale. What happened to showing some emotion with your giant, plum-colored fists? And forgive me for being so colorful in my narrative, but I just had to paint a vivid image of the setting: Ah, summer just arrived and kids are arriving anew, unaware of the doom that awaits them at Camp Crystal Lake—okay, okay, I admit it. I’m not even trying. Give me credit for not asking me where the hockey masks and sleeping pills are in preparation for the good ol’ battle royale. Or is it the hunger whatsits? What are kids calling them these days?
Looks like I completely failed my grand entrance. And what’s worse, my wonderful sense of humor is completely wasted on you apes and you aren’t even giving me something to do! Usually the evil villain is grunting about how he’s gonna rip off my limbs in the most uncreative way possible, but you look like you’ve been shot up with some horse tranqs. Where’s your showmanship? The love for your job? But hey, at least you aren’t throwing weird things at me. No tomatoes, no grenades, no hands—yeah, I heard that happens sometimes around these parts, but do I look like someone who needs an extra hand? I mean, come on, Spider-Man!
No? Still not working for you? Man, now I know how Leno feels every night, but at least people feel obligated to laugh at his jokes.
Okay, look, this really is a super secret dangerous criminal organization set out to torture and ruin people’s lives after they’re practically snatched from their beds. Right? Because all I see is the disgruntled workforce and not a whole lot of evil going on. What is this, a strike? Because I’m pretty sure they don’t have unions for disgruntled bestial employees. I mean, probably. What do I know? I’m still just a kid. Either way, if this is some kind of organized strike, you guys aren’t doing that great at it. Mostly, you just look like a bunch of sloths, and eugh, who wants to be associated with them? They’re kind of green and smelly and plants grow off them.
—Wait, I’ve got it! It’s Keanu Reeves Appreciation Day, right? He’s done so much for gorilla-kind by showing you deserve jobs, too, and here I am, jumping around and emoting under my mask! But if you really wanna do him proud, try waxing! Look what it did for him.
