Travel Into My World

So I didn't sleep well last night becuase Daniel had his stupid ass friends over and they were up until 4:30am this morning. They kept me awake. Then Daniel broke his window, which set off my damn anxiety. So I had to take two of my anxiety pills in order to sleep. I Didn't wake up until 1:30pm Then I've been sort of out of it all day since. I didn't even have the energy to go grocery shopping which I really needed to do. But I'm going tomorrow.

I spent most of the day in daze, as I aid, but I watched a lot of Beyblade, Yu gi oh, and Yu gi oh GX. Okay, not a lot of Yu gi oh, actually. I just had to watch Evil Spirit of the Ring, which is the episode where Yami Bakura is introduced. It is essentially the episode that Johanna (one of my OCs) really loved as a little girl. While victoria's favorite was Marik's introduction.

For Beyblade, I got up to the bey battle between Ray and Tyson. I forgot just how awesome Ray's Driger could be. I am still amazed I Could remember who had which Bit Beast! Ray has Driger, Kai has Dranzer, Tyson has Dragoon, and Max has Draciel. I think I had Dranzer and Draciel. If I had been able to get Majestic bayblades, I probably would've had all of those, too! I miss Oliver. Can't wait to get to his and the Majestics episodes. They were so awesome!!

Last night didn't end well, by the way. Me and Valerie had another argument because she wouldn't trust me that I had told her I wouldn't available today. My mom is off every Friday (as of right now) and unless I am doing something special with friends, I am home, spending time with her. It's the only day I have with her where I don't have to worry about sassy comments from Cal. And I have told Val several times that my mom is the most important person in my life, and I need to spend the time with her when I can. Especially if she and Cal actually DO move to Florida and I get left behind. (I don't know how much I want to do that plan anymore with the way Daniel has been behaving...partying every damn night of the week isn't how I want to live!)

So then apparently my characters were upsetting her characters making it harder for her to RP. Uh, WTF? My characters/bonds are separate from each other. When they're characters, they're just in the game at hte moment. As soul bonds they might say something like, "Got a bit too emotional" or something after the fact, but... I never let my emotions get in the way of a good RP. Instead of seeing the drama as a good tihng, she turns it into something depressing, which really irritates me, especially when the action in the RP is freakin' canon! If I was playing Magnus Bane out of character, then yes, get upset. But especially with my Mortal Instruments characters, I am extremely careful to be in character at all times, or I fear disrespecting my friend's work! I've been known to bend the rules in canon in the past, yes, but nothing incredibly ludicrious.

Some would probably argue having the Robas actually being psychic is out of canon, but the thing is, *that* whole verse with Victoria is AU. I can't see Rex, Joey, Weevil and Espa all being friends anyway. Well, maybe Espa and Joey, but not Rex and Weevil. I love them both dearly in my own way, but in canon Joey couldn't stand them. (Despite the fact he and Rex did seem to be cordial in "The ESP Duselist" parts 1 and 2).

But AU is different than flat out playing someone out of character especially if you've previously stated that the RP setting is canon, and have even set a time frame, which is very important when you're RPing within a series such as The Mortal Instruments. A lot of what we did RP previously came before City of Heavenly Fire and after City of Fallen Angels. CIty of Lost Souls is actually mentioned quite a lot in the RP because Tara (the OC) read them before she found out she was, in fact, a Shadowhunter herself. She didn't read City of Lost Souls or City of Heavnly Fire because she was too young at the time. The way we use Jonathan/Sebastian in the RP is vastly different from the way he is written in Cassandra Clare's books, but we're taking creative license, and I'm thinking that probably is the ONLY thing AU about RP aside from the canon puncturing cause of the fact the Shadowhunters KNOW they are in books.(In our RP, the books were written by a Shadowhunter to lure Tara in, and that person used the pen name, Cassandra Clare)

But I STILL hold that I keep the canon characters from the series canon and in character. Magnus gets drained when he uses magic, Clary is an older version of herself in the book, and very loving, Raphael is still Raphael, and Jordan is still Jordan. The ones we have the most trouble with are other members of Simon's band since not a whole lot is known about them. We know Eric is Simon's OTHER best friend, and we know what instruments they all play, and that's it. Hell, we even know the name of Matt's girlfriend!

Ugh. The best part of today, though...just sitting and watching Beyblade. It felt good, you know. I don't know why, but watching these older animes are making me feel much better. Maybe its' something I need to do again... just sit, and watch. What do you guys do when you get really nostalgic?

Trivia: Elizabeth Bakura has a Millennium Item called the Pyramid. The Yami that resides inside it is the Thief Bakura's sister, Sagira, who goes by ' Liza.
