  <description>In my attempts to learn everything I can about the Doctor Who universe (because lulz, I play the Doctor and he knows everything and I don&apos;t) I&apos;ve been reading the Doctor Who wiki and watching the Sarah Jane Adventures.  While watching SJA I&apos;ve come to a conclusion; Elisabeth Sladen is still totally hot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Work went pretty well today.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;m getting better at juggling the different students, although 7 hours of it gets a bit wearing.&amp;nbsp; Hopefully I don&apos;t have to work that shift too much.&amp;nbsp; Yes, I realize a 7 hours shift isn&apos;t much compared to some, but it feels like a hell of a long time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still looking for a full time job though, hopefully I hear back from a school soon.</description>

  <description>So, I&apos;m debating between apping two characters.&amp;nbsp; Either Gandalf at Poly or Luke from the Sarah Jane Adventures somewhere else.&amp;nbsp; I reeeally shouldn&apos;t pick up more characters but I&apos;m very tempted.&amp;nbsp; I haven&apos;t had a new character in like... a month or so?&amp;nbsp; That feels like forever.&amp;nbsp; I think since joining I&apos;ve averaged about one character a month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, today is my first &quot;real&quot; day at work where I&apos;m the primary teacher for the kids.&amp;nbsp; It&apos;s only for 3 hours so I should be fine.&amp;nbsp; 6 hours tomorrow will be the real test.</description>

  <description>Okay, it&apos;s seriously rude to ignore people&apos;s comments.&amp;nbsp; If your character makes an open post and you just pick and choose who you want to reply to?&amp;nbsp; That&apos;s bad form.&amp;nbsp; You can rationalize it that the character wouldn&apos;t reply to those people but that&apos;s bull shit when it&apos;s ignoring like 4-5 people in the post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, the number of people/crews I don&apos;t like in Poly has really grown in the last few days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On happy news, I saw WALL-E the other night and it was really, really good.&amp;nbsp; I didn&apos;t think I was going to like it as much as I did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I saw Wanted too, which was a slight disappointment.&amp;nbsp; There are just some stunts/action scenes that sound good in theory but can never be pulled of believably in execution, even in a movie that demands a level of suspension of belief.</description>

  <description>Damn it, why couldn&apos;t I just wait another week before watching today&apos;s Doctor Who so I didn&apos;t have the massive cliffhanger hanging over me this week?</description>

  <description>Soooooo tired.&amp;nbsp; I really need to get to bed at a more reasonable hour.&amp;nbsp; Buuuuuut it&apos;s more fun to stay up way late, apparently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, we had the first ultrasound today.&amp;nbsp; The baby still looks like... nothing but it is there and we could even see it move and could even tell what its heart rate was.&amp;nbsp; I know most parents are like, &quot;OMG, it&apos;s a little tiny human in there!&quot; but M and are like, &quot;That&apos;s freaky.&amp;nbsp; You sure it&apos;s not going to burst through my stomach or something?&quot;&amp;nbsp; Still, it was really exciting to see it.&amp;nbsp; Sadly, not twins like we were hoping, but ah well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;ljcut&quot; text=&quot;Ultrasound Picture&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v137/Bradwick/Ultrasound-Individual.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The gestation sack or whatever it&apos;s called is the black shape in the middle and the baby is the greenish shape at the bottom of that.&amp;nbsp; It looks like an image from an old gameboy screen.&amp;nbsp; The baby is 2.1 cm long and has a heart beat of 171 bpm.&lt;/div&gt;</description>

  <title>Fandom Updates and Other Things</title>

  <description>Okay, so in the past week I&apos;ve been to the grocery store somewhere between 10 and about 40 billion times.  At least I feel like I&apos;ve done stuff this week though, which is nice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had an interesting conversation at Blockbuster.  For the last few months whenever I rent a movie they scan my card, get this weird look on their faces, go off into some back room or something, come whisper to the manager at the time about &quot;can&apos;t find it&quot; and then just come back and rent me my movie anyways.  I figure it&apos;s because my card was a temp issue that I never got changed out and it was originally opened at a different store.  Today I had this conversation:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blockbuster Guy: Oh, wow, there&apos;s a hold on your account.&lt;br /&gt;Me: A hold?&lt;br /&gt;BG: Yeah, looks like you held a movie so long you paid for it, but then returned it.  But it was so long it&apos;s out of your system, so I need to give it to you.  It&apos;s Karas?&lt;br /&gt;Me: I returned that like... 6 months ago.&lt;br /&gt;BG:  Wow, well, let me get that for you... *goes off for a bit, returns and talks to the manager then comes back to me.*&lt;br /&gt;BG:  Well, looks like we don&apos;t have it here.&lt;br /&gt;Me:  So for the past several months, whenever I rented a movie, this info came up and no one told me because they couldn&apos;t find the movie I bought.&lt;br /&gt;BG:  Yeah, I&apos;m really sorry about that.  Let me take the hold off here...&lt;br /&gt;Shift Manager:  Don&apos;t worry, it&apos;s not like you owe us money.&lt;br /&gt;Me:  No, &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt; owe &lt;i&gt;me&lt;/i&gt; a movie.&lt;br /&gt;SM:  Oh, I guess we do, don&apos;t we?  I&apos;ll talk to the manager when they come in.  Call back in a few days and we&apos;ll either have your movie or credit your account.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m not upset at the two people that helped me, they were super cool about it.  But the fact that for almost 6 months no one told me this because no one could find the movie kind of pisses me off.  I understand mistakes happen but own up to them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fairy Tail&lt;/b&gt;:  This is my new manga obsession.  I got caught up on it in two days.  All 91 chapters.  It&apos;s really good.  I&apos;m sure it&apos;s compared all the time to Bleach and perhaps that&apos;s a bit unfair but Bleach is really the best reference point I have for it.  One thing I especially like about FT is the characters.  The main protagonist, Natsu, is already really strong.  Unlike Ichigo you&apos;re not watching him come into his seekrit amazing power, surpassing everyone else who&apos;s been studying it for years.  There is an element of &quot;hidden strength that will allow him to be super powerful&quot; but the character has trained his entire life to fight.  Also, even though Natsu is loud and reckless he&apos;s still pretty smart both in fights and out of them.  Lucy, the other main protagonist, is awesome.  In terms of combat she&apos;s more of a support character but not a weakling by any means.  She even admits compared to Natsu, Gray, and Erza that she&apos;s the weakest.  She&apos;s relatively bright but not so much so that that&apos;s her &quot;thing.&quot;  The cast of supporting characters is really big, but they&apos;re not as interesting or fleshed out as perhaps Bleach is.  But, because of this Fairy Tail moves along at a MUCH better pace that Bleach.  Another thing that&apos;s nice about this is that the main characters get more &quot;screen time&quot; so if you do like them, you don&apos;t have to wait 50 chapters or so to see your favorite character do something cool.  I highly recommend Fairy Tail.  If nothing else, you&apos;ll know fairly quickly if you don&apos;t like it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bleach&lt;/b&gt;:  I was excited about it for a bit, but not so much anymore.  Mostly because I&apos;m sick of Aizen being all, &quot;Hah!  One step ahead of you all!&quot;  I get that part, they don&apos;t need to point that out every time he makes an appearance.  I loved the back story on the Vaizard because I love that group, but it just really left me wanting more.  The latest issue almost killed me because it was showing how everyone that got sent to the human world ended up there and I was SO SURE it was going to show Isshin.  But then it didn&apos;t.  I almost died.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Doctor Who:&lt;/b&gt;  I really need to rewatch the latest episode.  After thinking about it there are a lot of things that struck me about it.  Rose mentions that the Doctor referred to Donna as brilliant.  How would Rose know that unless she had met the Doctor at some point &lt;i&gt;after &lt;/i&gt;the Doctor met Donna?  Rose also seems incredibly mature, so I&apos;m thinking she&apos;s from a ways in the future?  Also, I still want to slap Donna a lot of the time.  She can&apos;t even do the simplest things people ask her to do without and argument.  Things that even aren&apos;t a big deal one way or the other she has to fight.  She makes a fantastic companion for the Doctor, but I hate her character.  Vice versa, I love Rose&apos;s character but in all honesty she&apos;s not a good companion for the Doctor.  I&apos;m hoping Jenny is the season 5 companion.  I&apos;m probably not going to watch this weeks episode until the one after it is out too.  I&apos;m already anxious to see what happens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Marvel Universe&lt;/b&gt;: Where do I even start?  If Tony Stark is a Skrull then I am seriously in trouble.  I have no idea what to do with him in Poly if he is a Skrull.  I really hope he isn&apos;t because also, I love the character right now and what they&apos;re doing with him.  Also, from a logistics standpoint, I could see Skrulls faking powers and appearances, but how do you fake intelligence?  Also, Spider-Man... I was really upset with the retcon that they did, but the new stories are pretty good.  Still, I think Ultimate Spider-Man is still my favorite Spider-Man.</description>

  <description>Okay, Fairy Tail is totally awesome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Code Geass is okay.&amp;nbsp; I mean, it&apos;s really good but for some reason I&apos;m not dying to get caught up ASAP.&amp;nbsp; It is good though.&amp;nbsp; Seems the characters are interesting and likable for the most part.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;m not sure how much I like Leuloch (or however you spell his name) but I&apos;m hoping the rest of the cast carries the show.&amp;nbsp; I had the same problem with Death Note and not liking Kira/Light at all and just couldn&apos;t get into the story enough to get to where the cast expanded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, I got a job.&amp;nbsp; I started yesterday.&amp;nbsp; It&apos;s doing math tutoring at a tutoring center.&amp;nbsp; Not many hours but not hard work either and it will look good on my resume.&amp;nbsp; Also found out the Jr. High right around the corner is hiring for math, so that&apos;s good.&amp;nbsp; Would be great to work 3 minutes from home and start at 8:40.</description>

  <description>So, I told my parents that we found out M had a parasite and that&apos;s why she was so sick.  And they both went, &quot;Aww, honey, I&apos;m sorry!&quot; and gave her hugs of sympathy.  Then when I explained it would be okay because it had a 9 month gestation period and would pop out, my mom screamed and jumped up and down and hugged my wife again while my dad looked very confused as to why my mom was so pleased that M had a parasite.  Then once my sister explained it to him he freaked out too.  They both thanked me for telling them in such a memorable way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They&apos;re also huge dorks.  They&apos;ve both called me every day since then to shout, &quot;I&apos;m going to be a grandpa/grandma!!!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And does anyone know a good tutorial for using Photoshop to clean up screencaps for icons?  I don&apos;t need to make them all fancy (that&apos;s beyond me) but I like clear, clean images for my icons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;8&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background: transparent url(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a53/Yuuto-san/greysparklies.gif) repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;H&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 102, 0);&quot;&gt;A&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 0);&quot;&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 255, 0);&quot;&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;Y&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 153);&quot;&gt;B&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(128, 0, 128);&quot;&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;R&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 102, 0);&quot;&gt;T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 0);&quot;&gt;H&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 255, 0);&quot;&gt;D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;A&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 153);&quot;&gt;Y&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(128, 0, 128);&quot;&gt;N&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;A&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 102, 0);&quot;&gt;T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 0);&quot;&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 255, 0);&quot;&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 153);&quot;&gt;!&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(128, 0, 128);&quot;&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</description>

  <description>Tomorrow/Sunday we&apos;re telling my parents that M is pregnant.&amp;nbsp; Since she got to tell her family (which, she totally blew because she started off, &quot;We have some big news!&quot; and they just went, &quot;Yay, we were hoping you were pregnant!&quot;) so I get to tell mine.&amp;nbsp; Here&apos;s what I&apos;m thinking:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Hey, I just wanted to let you know we found out why M has been so sick lately.&amp;nbsp; It turns out she has a parasite.&amp;nbsp; It&apos;s not a big deal and lots of people get it.&amp;nbsp; It has a gestation period of about 9 months and then it should be out.&quot;</description>

  <description>Incredible Hulk was really good.&amp;nbsp; Not as good as Iron Man, but it was still very good.&amp;nbsp; I clapped and &quot;eeee&apos;d&quot; when Tony Stark made an appearance (it&apos;s at the end and is very obvious, you don&apos;t have to peer intently at every inch of the screen for every second like I did).&amp;nbsp; And I can save you all 5 minutes of your life, there is nothing at the end of the credits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feeling much better today about things in general.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next movie on my list to see is Get Smart next weekend and then Wanted the weekend after that.&amp;nbsp; Good summer for movies this year.</description>

  <description>Rawr.&amp;nbsp; I love RP, I really do.&amp;nbsp; And most of the times I love poly.&amp;nbsp; Yeah, it has its faults, and it&apos;s not the perfect game out there but I do think that it&apos;s one of the best.&amp;nbsp; But there are some days I just want to quit.&amp;nbsp; I was getting very &quot;meh&quot; about poly up until a few weeks ago when I started getting invited to chats.&amp;nbsp; Since then, I&apos;ve enjoyed it more than ever.&amp;nbsp; I love the chats.&amp;nbsp; I have been bothered though by how often people are spoken about in a negative way in chat.&amp;nbsp; Honestly, I don&apos;t have a problem with it.&amp;nbsp; People are free to say what they want to each other and sometimes it&apos;s healthy to share frustrations.&amp;nbsp; And sometimes people are so stupid they deserve to be talked about.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;ve always felt though that there&apos;s truth in the saying that if people talk to you about someone, they&apos;ll talk about you to someone else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And of course, it is true.&amp;nbsp; I found out today a rather small comment I said in chat about one X not seeming to like my character Y.&amp;nbsp; Apparently it got back to X-mun that I was &quot;making fun of [them] in chatrooms and in private&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can only imagine what&apos;s being said about me if they got that from the comment I made in chat.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;ve never doubted that people talk about me behind my back.&amp;nbsp; That&apos;s part of life and I&apos;m certainly no paragon of virtue.&amp;nbsp; But I&apos;m sure people have enough ammunition for saying stuff about me without me giving them anymore.&amp;nbsp; So, I think I&apos;m done with poly chatrooms.&amp;nbsp; They were fun and I loved them and I really appreciated the invites like you couldn&apos;t imagine, but... yeah.</description>

  <description>So very, very tired.  I need to stop staying up so late but I can&apos;t help myself.&amp;nbsp; Not having a job and able to sleep in until whenever doesn&apos;t help at all either.&amp;nbsp; Also, since I only just realized I play 9 characters at &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser&apos; lj:user=&apos;polychromatic&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://community.livejournal.com/polychromatic/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;16&apos; height=&apos;16&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://community.livejournal.com/polychromatic/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;polychromatic&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;I&apos;m going to do this thing:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;ljcut&quot; text=&quot;Polychromatic character report thing Haku made.&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;character;&lt;/b&gt; Butler&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;character lj;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser&apos; lj:user=&apos;big_bad_butler&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://big-bad-butler.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://big-bad-butler.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;big_bad_butler&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;series;&lt;/b&gt; Artemis Fowl&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;muse strength;&lt;/b&gt; Weak.  I like the character but I just struggle with coming up with things for him to do.  I keep hoping that will change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;cast strength;&lt;/b&gt;  Decent.  Artemis is very active and I honestly don’t interact with him enough.  Holly is pretty active too, but I don’t have Butler do much more than just chat with her every once in a while.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;plotting capabilities;&lt;/b&gt;  He mostly just follows Artemis around, which is canon.  He’s also a member of the Police Force now but I don’t do much with him there either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;other;&lt;/b&gt;  Butler was picked up because I cannot resist Imouto-chan and she knows this.  That’s not to say I don’t like the character or enjoy playing him, he just wasn’t one I absolutely had to snag.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;likelihood of drop;&lt;/b&gt; The most likely out of any of my characters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;character;&lt;/b&gt;Selene/Lanfear&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;character lj;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser&apos; lj:user=&apos;chosenbychoice&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://chosenbychoice.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://chosenbychoice.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;chosenbychoice&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;series;&lt;/b&gt; Wheel of Time&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;muse strength;&lt;/b&gt; Moderate to High.  I love the character and I love playing her but for some reason it’s difficult for me to get up the energy to post with her.  I feel like she doesn’t have a lot to say.  Being my only “evil” outlet though you’d think I could come up with more stuff for her to do.  She might be coming out about her evilness soon though, just to make things easier.  Not that she hides it much now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;cast strength;&lt;/b&gt; It’s just Lanfear, Graendal, and Matrim but Graen and Mat are pretty active.  Lanfear is a pretty independent person though so much of a cast isn’t really necessary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;plotting capabilities;&lt;/b&gt; Pretty good, actually.  She has a lot of potential to work with a lot of people.  She’s already got some long term stuff going on with the Social Club as well as Drake.  I just need to get more active with her and that wouldn’t be too hard, really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;other;&lt;/b&gt;  One of my favorite characters, unfortunately I just didn’t post with her for a bit and she sort of got lost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;likelihood of drop;&lt;/b&gt;  Low to Moderate.  I would hate to drop her since I think she’s one of my few characters that’s not much like the others, but since she has such little interaction or ties with other characters I’d be more apt to drop her for that reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;character;&lt;/b&gt; Harry Dresden&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;character lj;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser&apos; lj:user=&apos;dresden4hire&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://dresden4hire.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://dresden4hire.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;dresden4hire&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;series;&lt;/b&gt; The Dresden Files&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;muse strength;&lt;/b&gt; Strong.  Harry isn’t my strongest muse but he is the easiest for me to identify with.  Sometimes that can be a problem because I know in general how he responds to something but not specifically, and his specific wording/attitude is very important.  Constant skimming of the books could help with this.  Easily my favorite/most active muse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;cast strength;&lt;/b&gt;  Fairly strong.  Nicodemus is very active and I think Bianca will be too. If Sanya is approved I foresee him being active.  Lea isn’t very active but she’s a hard character to have active.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;plotting capabilities;&lt;/b&gt;  HUGE.  If anything, too many things I could do with him.  I could definitely spread out some of his plottage energy to other characters.  He’s got such a huge network of friends and people though there’s always something for him to do.  He’s definitely got momentum going for him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;other;&lt;/b&gt;  The first character at poly that I absolutely loved playing.  If it weren’t for him I probably would not have stayed at poly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;likelihood of drop;&lt;/b&gt;  Non-existent.  I think he will be the very last character that I give up no matter what the reason.  I have too much going on with him and planned for him and love him too much to give him up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;character;&lt;/b&gt; Kara Kent&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;character lj;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser&apos; lj:user=&apos;maturesfaster&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://maturesfaster.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://maturesfaster.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;maturesfaster&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;series;&lt;/b&gt; Smallville&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;muse strength;&lt;/b&gt; Moderate.  The character is so inconsistently done in canon that I have a hard time finding her voice.  I seriously screwed up her initial voice and it’s been an uphill battle since then.  I will be rewatching key episodes soon to try and fix that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;cast strength;&lt;/b&gt;  Moderate.  Clark and Lana are active but I think the other two cast members are pretty much nonexistent?  Interacting with Clark and Lana though is a total blast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;plotting capabilities;&lt;/b&gt;  Very good.  Things are happening with her and Clark becoming heroes and she’s got a sort of thing going on with Scholar.  I need to have her hit up more people’s journals though and make more friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;other;&lt;/b&gt; I suck at playing females.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;likelihood of drop;&lt;/b&gt;  Low to Moderate.  The only character I would consider dropping because I just don’t have a handle on the character.  I really like the character though so I want to work harder to get a better grasp of her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;character;&lt;/b&gt; Tony Stark&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;character lj;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser&apos; lj:user=&apos;morethanasuit&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://morethanasuit.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://morethanasuit.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;morethanasuit&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;series;&lt;/b&gt; Iron Man (Marvel comics)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;muse strength;&lt;/b&gt; Moderate to High.  He’s still far from perfect, but he’s had so much shit happen to him in canon lately that his character’s personality is in a constant flux.  Unless someone &lt;i&gt;really&lt;/i&gt; keeps up with the canon though they wouldn’t have a clue as to what he’s supposed to be like.  He’s egotistical, yes, but it’s almost from a righteous standpoint.  He knows he’s right and has the conviction to do what needs to be done, even if it means people he cares about get hurt.  He’s also come face to face with a lot of failures though, so that’s hurt him but not wavered his convictions.  But in the City… none of that stuff is in his face.  Gah, so freaking complex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;cast strength;&lt;/b&gt; Ummm… Spider-man is sort of his cast and is somewhat active.  Same with Logan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;plotting capabilities;&lt;/b&gt;  Very high.  I have some (what I consider) pretty cool plans for him in the future that I’m working on.  Plus, he’s fairly sociable and is already making friends in the City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;other;&lt;/b&gt;  I could stand to sit down and really think through his personality and his voice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;likelihood of drop;&lt;/b&gt; Low.  I really like the character and feel pretty comfortable with my handle on what he’s like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;character;&lt;/b&gt; Sam Witwicky&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;character lj;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser&apos; lj:user=&apos;not_so_smooth&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://not-so-smooth.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://not-so-smooth.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;not_so_smooth&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;series;&lt;/b&gt; Transformers: The Movie&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;muse strength;&lt;/b&gt; High.  Probably up there with Harry or the Doctor, merely because playing characters like him is something I’m good at.  I still worry about whether or not I have his adorkableness down right because in the movie we never really get to see what he acts like day in and day out but for the most part I feel pretty comfortable with him.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;cast strength;&lt;/b&gt; Strong, since he’s the only cast member?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;plotting capabilities;&lt;/b&gt; Pretty good, I think?  As my only normal human character he’s able to be thrown into stuff most of my characters wouldn’t be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;other;&lt;/b&gt;  For some reason I have trouble finding icons of him I like.  Ones from the movie having him when he’s all dirty and grungy and any pictures of just Shia don’t really lend themselves to Sam’s personality in my view.  Or he’s got facial hair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;likelihood of drop;&lt;/b&gt;  Very Low.  I’m really liking the character and who he interacts with.  I really don’t see myself dropping him anytime soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;character;&lt;/b&gt; Raki&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;character lj;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser&apos; lj:user=&apos;orphanedpuppy&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://orphanedpuppy.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://orphanedpuppy.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;orphanedpuppy&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;series;&lt;/b&gt; Claymore&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;muse strength;&lt;/b&gt; Moderate to High.  Raki’s voice is one of the easiest for me to do just because it’s so distinct.  The stutter isn’t exactly canon but I think it really gets across his personality effectively.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;cast strength;&lt;/b&gt; Ophelia is pretty active but she and Raki are the cast.  A Clare would be great but after Pel’s Clare I kind of don’t know if I’d think anyone else’s Clare would be good enough.  Heh, I say that, but I would still love a Clare or Isley or Priscilla.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;plotting capabilities;&lt;/b&gt;  Moderate.  I’m more cruel to him than my other muses mostly because he can take it and bounce back.  I doubt he’ll ever be part of a huge plot but he’s good to just toss in about anywhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;other;&lt;/b&gt;  It makes me lol that it seems that the people he interacts with don’t realize he’s a naïve kid living alone in the woods surrounded by monsters.  Also, interestingly enough, he’s my only manga character at poly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;likelihood of drop;&lt;/b&gt;  Low.  I love the character and he comes very easily so I don’t see any reason to drop him.  I thought lack of cast would be a problem but it’s not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;character;&lt;/b&gt; The Doctor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;character lj;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser&apos; lj:user=&apos;sciencegeekchic&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://sciencegeekchic.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://sciencegeekchic.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;sciencegeekchic&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;series;&lt;/b&gt; Doctor Who&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;muse strength;&lt;/b&gt; Very Strong.  Probably my strongest muse.  So much so that switching from him to another character is difficult at times.  I hear and see his responses so clearly that it’s almost no effort to play him.  I absolutely love the character too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;cast strength;&lt;/b&gt;  Very Strong.  Rose is crazy active and the rest of the cast is very active too.  That goes for the Torchwood crew as well.  Also, the Who crew is growing, which is major win.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;plotting capabilities;&lt;/b&gt;  Moderate.  It’s almost all personal interaction for reasons I’ll discuss in the section below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;other;&lt;/b&gt;  The Doctor is not nearly as proactive as I wish he could be.  A place like poly does not lend itself for him to do what he normally does.  Almost all plots and conflict are solved by physical strength.  Like in the invasion plot at the beginning of the year in canon the Doctor would have hopped on to one of the ships, disengaged the systems that were keeping everyone in stasis, commandeered the ship, and sent the aliens home.  But, no can do.  So, it’s very crippling to find reasons he can’t do things that normally he would.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;likelihood of drop;&lt;/b&gt;  Non-existent to Low.  I love the character and the cast and the muse is very strong so I don’t see myself dropping him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;character;&lt;/b&gt; Richard Zeeman&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;character lj;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser&apos; lj:user=&apos;teh_alpha_male&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://teh-alpha-male.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://teh-alpha-male.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;teh_alpha_male&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;the_alpha_male&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;series;&lt;/b&gt; Anita Blake&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;muse strength;&lt;/b&gt; Moderate.  I enjoy the character but his voice is just so indistinct at times that I feel he’s almost non-existent.  Usually it’s his relationships with other characters (mainly Anita) that set him apart from my other muses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;cast strength;&lt;/b&gt; Strong.  Anita is the only other cast member and she’s very active.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;plotting capabilities;&lt;/b&gt;  Moderate.  I would have to get off my ass and actually work on plotting with him but I feel that the isn’t a lot that he can offer that other characters can’t do better.  All of his plot capabilities stem from his relationship with Anita or being a werewolf and interacting with the other wolf type people in poly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;other;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;likelihood of drop;&lt;/b&gt; Low to Moderate.  Sometimes I don’t feel the muse at all but he always comes back.  I think probably as long as there’s an Anita at poly I’ll play Richard.&lt;/the_alpha_male&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

  <description>I was the man today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I fixed the AC on my car, finished rehanging and painting the front door, and did some landscaping.&amp;nbsp; I was psyched to get the AC fixed, I&apos;d never worked on anything like that before so I wasn&apos;t sure if I could do it.&amp;nbsp; But, I was so no more riding around in 108 degree heat without AC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still job hunting without much luck, but such is how things go.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;m sure that I&apos;ll be able to find one, it&apos;s just a matter of when.&amp;nbsp; Plus there&apos;s so much paperwork to fill out to be a teacher.</description>

  <description>Gah, so bored.&amp;nbsp; I want to RP more but every time I do I end up letting something get to me that shouldn&apos;t.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Birthday went well though, I got some of the coolest, most thoughtful presents I&apos;ve ever gotten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, found out I passed the state certification to teach High School math, so hooray for that.&amp;nbsp; Also, a math job just opened up at the school I want to teach at so I&apos;m excited about that.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;m still not sure if I really want to teach but I figured I should give it a shot.</description>

  <description>WTF, &lt;i&gt;Smallville&lt;/i&gt; writers?&amp;nbsp; I thought you couldn&apos;t be any crappier and inconsistent with your writing but it looks like you can.&amp;nbsp; Where the hell was Kara in this last episode?&amp;nbsp; I get that they want to build up suspense with what happened at the end of the previous episode but don&apos;t you think she would be around to help during this episode?&amp;nbsp; Gah, it&apos;s ridiculous.</description>

  <description>So I found out that somehow, when I graduate this Saturday, it&apos;s Cum Laude.  How I managed to graduate with honors when I failed two classes (although I got A&apos;s in both when I retook them) and a D in at least one astounds me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, I&apos;m really love this song right now for some reason:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;lj-embed id=&quot;4&quot; /&gt;</description>
