I kind of like it when your friends and family call you and wish you happy birthday and everything but you're doing normal things at the same time, like going to class and stuff.

...It just feels better, somehow.

There's nothing to make you appreciate what you have now than being convinced for a while you didn't have it.

Suze, Jordan, Ed?
I'm sorry. I was...rude.

Anyway, I'm a little busy right now, but I'll be around more again soon.

[Private]

I'm so glad...I'm so grateful for what's happened to me. Going back...

I'd forgotten how much it...hurt.

Probably more like I wanted to forget.

Can't believe how patient Sam was with me. I really should make this up to her.

Bandwagon time

Yeah, yeah, hiatus and all, but I couldn't help myself.

You can ask almost any of me (a few dropped characters were left out) anything, icly or oocly, over here.

Your Love Life is Like Titanic

"Promise me you'll survive. That you won't give up, no matter what happens, no matter how hopeless."

You think that you only really have one true love in your life. And that you better to anything and everything to be with that person.

You tend to be very nostalgic about past loves that didn't work out. There are many secret feelings that you keep to yourself.

Your love style: Deep and emotional

Your Hollywood Ending Will Be: Bittersweet

What Movie Is Your Love Life Like?

The thing's broken. It needs to be...fixed.

I could barely sit through that movie!

(( Going to bed now, but I was too amused not to post it. :P ))

Jordan, I know it's a bad time, but could I ask a favor?

Kyo Kusanagi has been asking for some help, and that help needs to be worldhopped.

Details are here.

How did we miss this?!?

~~Oh god, I wonder if I could actually go there for research.~~

Comment rankings! You knew it was coming.

2008-04-27T23:14:15Z

Stupid web version was being a bitch, so I'm afraid Orlando's comment list is pretty simple. Sometimes is sucks to be on a mac.

1. mollyforeva -82
2. glowy_brows -71
3. scanningthief -59
4. maraihi -46
5. alize_in_melody -29
6. shutterbug_13 -28
7. dragon_scholar -22
8. kicktothebeat -21
9. unity_of_will -19
10. godisagirl -17

This is actually quite surprising to me. ~~I bet Haruhi's on here mostly for OoC comments.~~

Dang, I miss some of these people.

I hate it when they come back and don't remember.

I almost want to resent them. But that'd be wrong. And it's hard to do when they're so alike anyway.

Sometimes this place is terrible.

Character AIMs

2008-04-13T18:17:35Z

Because the recent spate of them has reminded me that I've been meaning to get a number of mine their own AIM sns.

These are on the profiles of all involved as well, of course.

virtual demigod - ping this and you get Orlando

moremenialtasks - ping this and you get Kyon

ttly reformed - ping this and you get Bourne

records of pain - ping this if you want Tanyuu

machine purist - ping this one for Batou...I mean, Buttetsu

Whether I actually get sns for any of the others remains to be seen. And I'll warn you up front, they're not likely to be on unless I feel like bringing them into ic chat. >.> I'm not all that good with IMing.

You know, I've never tried a latte. Maybe I actually should do that.

Which Classic Story Role Do You Play?

- You Are The Outlaw
"Sure, I'll do it. My way."

Just because you do not conform to the same laws and rules as everyone else does not mean that you are a bad guy. You travel your own path, separate from those around you, with your own reasons for doing what you do. Because of this and your own nature, it goes without saying that you are generally misunderstood. That does not matter much, though, as people love you for being who you are. You are pretty well set in your ways and have no real intention of changing. This can come across as a flicker of arrogance if your not careful. You do what is right for you, and God help anyone who stands in your way.

Dragons

2008-03-31T23:38:02Z

A YELLOW Dragon Lies Beneath!

My inner dragon is the most interesting of all. Not only am I the Air Elemental dragon, but I am the fourth rarest type of dragon in the world. Given the chance, I'd spend my days just soaring through the clouds, and I'll only attack if provoked. Click the image to try the Inner Dragon Online Quiz for yourself.

Not one of the more accurate ones, going by the full description.

A year in the afterlife

2008-03-23T22:38:01Z

I was poking around and I realized that I've been on here for over a year now.

It's been pretty incredible.

...Thanks, guys.

Well, I do my ooc stuff on here, alright?

2008-03-06T04:41:42Z

I swear I meant to do this ages ago, when the movie came out. But Kratos-mun kindly reminded me. So, here are all the daemon results for my characters. (This way I'll be able to keep track of them)

Orlando- Desra, a lion.

Wilson- Anidyn, an ocelot. (This really surprised me, as of all my characters I expected Orlando, or maybe Sunshine, to get the same species as me. Not Wilson. O_o)

Kyon- Hermestra, a mouse.

Fakir- Euthalios, an osprey.

Sunshine- Aerodon, a crow. (haha)

David- Melania, a tiger.

Door- Thaleron, another crow.

Tanyuu- Philon, a fox.

Lyra- Pantalimon, a pine marten, as we all know. ^_~

Robert- Clymonistra, a gibbon.

You can find the quiz over here.

Alright, fine, I cave.

2008-02-20T01:15:39Z

I am so so weak. >.< But I'm still only doing this for my characters that are actually of age. Which does not actually include Orlando, seeming and forged age aside.

Wilson
Top or Bottom, if applicable?: Either is fine, but he has a slight preference for top (shocking!).
Spit or Swallow, if applicable?: Technically, this shouldn't be applicable. Buuut, as a purely theoretical exercise....spit. Really, he does not want that in his system.
Abstinence?: Not if he can help it. But he does only have sex when in a relationship.
Any Kinks?: He's not averse to some mild bondage or roleplay, but nothing that really gets in the way of the process.
Favorite position?: Missionary.
How do they like it?: Wilson is all about this being as fufilling an experience as possible for both parties. That's canon, folks.

Sunshine
Top or Bottom, if applicable?: About 50/50, depends on her mood and her partner's.
Spit or Swallow, if applicable?: Spit. The woman is picky about what she ingests.
Abstinence?: Not if she can help it.
Any Kinks?: She does enjoy having sex outside if there's no risk of being caught and interrupted. Roofs, balconies, yards are good places.
Favorite position?: Missionary and reverse thereof.
How do they like it?: Sensual and fun.

Bourne
Top or Bottom, if applicable?: Either, but he's actually on the bottom more than half of the time.
Spit or Swallow, if applicable?: n/a
Abstinence?: In the absence of someone he loves, yes. He can get along fine without sex.
Any Kinks?: The closest he comes is being willing to do it in slightly odd places (i.e. the kitchen).
Favorite position?: He has to be facing her.
How do they like it?: Romantic but just a little desperate.

Door (Note: She's still a virgin folks)
Top or Bottom, if applicable?: Split, but with her a little more often on the bottom.
Spit or Swallow, if applicable?: Swallow, it's more considerate and leads to a little less mess.
Abstinence?: Yes. She's probably going to wait until she's engaged at least.
Any Kinks?: ...I can see her having a bit of an oral fixation. I don't think she'd mind biting.
Favorite position?: Damned if either of us know.
How do they like it?: Romantic but fun. With cuddling afterwards.

Tanyuu (Also a virgin)
Top or Bottom, if applicable?: Usually bottom, top on rare occasions.
Spit or Swallow, if applicable?: She understands she's supposed to swallow.
Abstinence?: She's waiting until marriage. So yes.
Any Kinks?: If she's ever in a position to find out, she'd find she enjoys being tied up by the right person (meaning someone she trusts). This is almost certain never to happen, though.
Favorite position?: Damned if either of us know. She's a traditionalist though, probably missionary.
How do they like it?: Slow and romantic. Lots of kissing beforehand, lots of cuddling afterwards.

...*headdesk* I cannot believe I just did that.

This was supposed to be a nice weekend. I did not want it crashed by the ghosts of people who are very deservedly dead.

~~Will that locking general just shut up?~~

((Strike hackable. Orlando's being especially pestered by the ghost of General Yacoubian, but Jongluer is also bothering him on top of Sam.))

20 things you may not have known about Orlando!

2008-01-27T04:12:20Z

Yanked from Kvasir and River.
I'm including a canon thing or two that are likely never to be discussed in game.

1. Back when he was a terminally ill kid, he had the morbid hobby going through death simulations to try to numb himself to it.

2. While he respects the work doctors do, during his life he never met one he could personally stand. This is why he's not at all likely to become one.

3. He read completely every book and textbook he was ever assigned. Even the shitty ones.

4. He had a crush on Eowyn for years.

5. In spite of all the friends he now has via the Otherland group and the comm, on a purely emotional level he still considers his AI agent Beezle one of his absolute best friends.

6. He backs up his memory every other day.

7. Part of him is glad that Sam hasn't talked to all that many people on the comm. He likes having her more to himself.

8. He still keeps an eye on what's going on in the Middle Country, even though he'll never play there again. He's proud that Thargor still holds a bunch of records.

9. He spends a lot of time outside now, because he couldn't when he was alive.

10. In fact, he's trying his hand at gardening. (Sellers is giving him tips)

11. The real reason he applied to Berkely is because it's close to home.

12. He does some research work for Ramsey.

13. He also tries to follow what Kunohara's company is doing, he thinks he might like to work for them.

14. Because of time spent with Kunohara, he's coming to know a fair amount about tea.

15. He insisted that he and his parents go see fireworks on New Year's Eve. And he'll do the same come 4th of July.

16. He's considering attending church.

17. Pretty much the only thing he misses about being an actual human is dreaming.

18. He really regrets that as far as his cousins and others are concerned, he has to remain dead.

19. He's never completely offline. He's always at least able to recieve messages.

20. He'll never admit to it, but when Jeremie sent him that copy of Otherland? He actually did read his death scene. He's still not sure how he feels about it.

...There are a lot of things I should have done instead of spending time on that. >.<

Just wondering

2008-01-24T21:39:43Z

Kvasir didn't deserve it. I'm sorry he's gone.

But I have to wonder. Why don't people react this strongly when, say, B.B. kills ten people? No "righteous judgement" was forced on him by any gods. Now, it strikes me that if we're going to really punish killers, we should do it to all of them. Because killing anyone is a very, very bad thing.

((Sorry, this is a post and run. Will get to tags later. Stupid school. >.>))

[Hacking window is now closed. Sorry all.]

I'm me. Copy or not, I'm Orlando Gardiner. I have thoughts, so those are real. I have feelings, so those are real. I think, therefore I am. I've kept my soul. ~~Haven't I?~~ I definitely have a real locking body, since I just used it break a cabinet.

I exist, as me. There are people that love me, and I love them. And I can do a Hell of a lot for them. That's what matters.

Ohgod, he had to call me Gardiner, didn't he?

[Private Existential Moment]

2008-01-21T06:20:27Z

[This is one of those cases you where you'd have to hack hard to be able to tell this entry exists. No way you're getting in.]

I don't know if I'm good enough.

I don't know if I can really love at all. AIs like Beezle can't. Do I just "love" because it's a pattern of thought passed down from the real me? Sure, I've come to care for people that I never knew before I died, but that could just be that I know that's how I'm supposed to react to certain kinds of people in certain situations.

I think...I know that I at least started falling for Sam before... So that's at least a little real? Or does it count at all coming from a copy?

She cares for me because of the real me. Should she be tied to a digital ghost, even if it is one that can touch her?

But then...what are emotions at all, in the first place? Are they just though patterns after all?

If you know enough to want happiness, don't you deserve the right to pursue it?

...I wish there was some way I could not know I'm a copy. Then I could really focus on being the best me possible, without worrying about whether anything I do is "true."

God, Sam would six me if she knew I still worry about this fen.

I should probably "sleep" more. It's easier to have these thoughts at night.

...I miss Demyx.
