Random post of off-the-top-of-my-head things.

1. Late as usual due to my having not posted at all lately, but Happy Birthday to o_melody_nelson and relaxsama! ♥

2. Dooooooes anyone by chance happen to know a guy who knows a guy who knows where I might get an Inksome code? Because it seems like everyone's getting accounts there and curiosity + tantalizing rumors of 150 icons?!! finally won out. So, uh. ...Yeah. XD

ETA: makeste @ inksome! totally creative with names rly I HEART YOU, hitsuuji. ♥

3. After much consideration, I have determined that I really need to check out Axis Powers Hetalia. Only, the thing is, I really have no idea where to start. I've been to the scanlation community, but they're all like... mixed up. D: WHERE DO I START. Is it just one of those things where you can read it in pretty much whatever order you like, or is there a trick to it? Could anyone walk me through it? XD

4. Lastly, a meme! Or more accurately, a quiz result. IT WAS A VONGOLA FAMILY MEMBER QUIZ. I HAD TO TAKE IT.

You Scored as Yamamoto Takeshi Yamamoto Takeshi, "Guardian of Rain." You 'Baseball Idiot!" Yamamoto Takeshi 75% Hibari Kyouya 58% Sawada Tsunayoshi 58% Sasagawa Ryohei 58% Gokudera Hayato 58% Chrome Dokuro 50% Lambo 42%

I am pretty down with this. |D

For Hetalia, you just use the scanlations tag and go as far back as you can. There are a few random ones at first, but then it starts going in entire chapters being scanlated. For the most part, it's 4komas, so really, the ones being translated for sorta random and by requests. XD;

Have a code! 64qsfaaaa7ag

[makeste.livejournal.com]

YAY THANK YOU you are my hero. ♥ ♥ ♥ I'll try that, then!

And thank you for the code, too!

[coconabanana.livejournal.com]

That meme... Wow... You lucky you scored as your fave character, Yamamoto. I took the test too and it turns out like this. I wonder if that's why I really loved her being paired up with Hibari, my all time favorite character. LOL

[makeste.livejournal.com]

I totally lucked out, heh (though Yama's my second-favorite, but it's close enough XD). But Chrome's so cute! I dunno, that's not too bad a result either.

[coconabanana.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's not that bad. Because, maybe it can explain why I really loved Hibari to death ^is a 1896 fan^ lol. I scored the lowest as Gokkun, my 2nd love affair while Hibari is at no.3. ^^'. Pretty weird results.

[makeste.livejournal.com]

Haha, maybe that is it. You know, that might explain my getting Yama, too; I'm pretty big on 8059. XD

I love that I tied with like four different characters for second place, though. IDENTITY CRISIS?!

[coconabanana.livejournal.com]

Lolz! I just realize that! @_@ Four characters in the same percentage! I only got Hibari and Yamamoto tied in the 3rd place. I have too much Chrome in me. XD

[makeste.livejournal.com]

92% is pretty impressive! XD Heh, and I'm still wondering how I managed to score the same percentage for both Hibari and Tsuna. It's... not like they're exactly similar.

[coconabanana.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's because secretly, Tsuna loves Nami-chuu too? (I can see Fuuta ranked Nami-chuu as Tsuna's no.2 most loved person/thing/animal, because Leon is at no.1) LOL

[makeste.livejournal.com]

lol. XD IT COULD BE.

[valorously.livejournal.com]

lol, I'm so slow, but now I finally know where to get invite codes from. 8D *went looking for one to give you and got distracted by that quiz-thing* but I'm fomicry on inksome~

I got Yamamoto, too... followed by Chrome. KOOKY. Maybe this is why I'm so partial to Gokudera. :3

[makeste.livejournal.com]

Thanks anyway, heh. <3 *adds you!*

I was just thinking the same thing (about the fondness for Gokudera, that is). It makes the result that much more accurate, anyway. :P

[cleartempest.livejournal.com]

XD I got Yama too! http://cleartempest.livejournal.com/19664.html#cutid1

Followed by Ryohei and Hibari, who are questionably mentally impaired. BUT very awesome....X_X;;;

I went through the initial Hetalia confusion too, but I now I'm just reading random bits of it. I guess history is enough plot? XD

[makeste.livejournal.com]

YAMA TWINS. *high fiiiive* 8D

It is pretty fun to read even in bits and pieces (which is all I've ever managed before), but kind of disorienting for me. Gotta try to get used to it, though. XD

[kyandii-holic.livejournal.com]

Oh, I did that meme too but never posted it...
For Hetalia there are many websites, mostly 2ch and 4ch ^-^

[makeste.livejournal.com]

Heh, cool. Do you remember who you got?

And lol, ideally I'd like to stay as far from 2ch and 4ch as possible, but thanks for the tip. XD

[kyandii-holic.livejournal.com]

I've got Chrome ^^
in the end no one can escape from *chan xD

[sandrock.livejournal.com]

I saw someone suggest going through the scanlations at hetalia, but! There is actually a page where all the current scans are organized: here, by nisecal~ :)

... I got... Lambo on the quiz. Tied with Tsuna. I'm going to take it again... >>;

eta; why am I looking at usernames on inksome... I wasn't going to get an account, alas. *dies*

[makeste.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU omg. That's exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. *bookmarks* 8D

Hey, nothing wrong with Lambo! I'm actually surprised I scored so low on him; I scored as a Thunder type on that Vongola ring quiz that was going around a while back. But he's cool. XD

IT'S PRETTY MUCH EXACTLY LIKE LIVEJOURNAL so I wouldn't really sweat it; I was pretty much just curious. XD

[sandrock.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome! :) I can't wait to hear what you think of it!

That's true, and I love Lambo, it's just. Why Lambo? ^^; I wonder what I'd get on a quiz like that... Hmm. LAMBO-SAN IS CURIOUS. /weeps

I figured as much, hehe. But if my friends are migrating over there, then I don't want to miss out on their updates, so I was poking it a bit. If a majority of my friends get an account, I might get one too. But I'm not leaving LJ! Nooooes.

[makeste.livejournal.com]

Can't wait to start reading. :D

Yeah, I kind of had that reaction when I got him myself. I figured it might have been because he's pretty much the most normal of the guardians. So I got points for every sane answer I gave. XDD

The ring quiz is over here if you want to check it out!

I don't think many people are going to end up migrating there for the long-term; I'm guessing it's gonna end up like InsaneJournal (I think that was the last one before this?). People who are annoyed by the latest changes to the profile page or whatever might switch to Inksome for a little while, but eventually they'll grudgingly switch back because the main community is still here.

[sandrock.livejournal.com]

Well, I'd start with the main chapters, then go to the extra comics. *nods* I think it'll make more sense that way?

Hehe, most normal is sort of relative, but I see what you mean. ^^ I find it hard to give the 'sane' answer on some questions. I mean, the questions themselves are already bizarre...

I got Storm, which has always made sense to me. I guess a little of Sun wouldn't be strange? But yeah, Storm makes sense to me.

Right, I pretty much agree with you there. Hehe. I've seen migrations to Scribbld, GreatestJournal, DeadJournal, InsaneJournal... people seem to always return. But, nevertheless, every time, I get an account @ whatever-Journal (eventually) to keep up with people. ^^;

[makeste.livejournal.com]

JUST GOT THROUGH WORLD WAR II and am pretty much dead from lulz. XD So far I'm loving it. Italy and Russia especially crack me up.

Yeah, that's true. "Blowing things up is fun." W-what are you supposed to answer to that?

Ooh, Storm, awesome.

Yeah, that was pretty much my reasoning too. The bandwagon was too tempting. XD

[sandrock.livejournal.com]

I LOVE RUSSIA. *___* Russia and the US are my favorites. I know, those are REALLY odd favorites, but. Hehe.

Why, yes. I love blowing things up! I do it all the time! Gosh, don't you?!

I just know I'm definitely not Cloud or Mist. At all. =___=

The bandwagon usually is! Why do people find all this cool stuff? *addicted to Plurk now too*

[makeste.livejournal.com]

I mean, granted I still haven't read very far, but this is pretty damn endearing.

And then this just killed me. COULD NOT STOP LAUGHING omg. XDD

Well, SURE, WHO DOESN'T but still!

They are kind of the opposite of Storm in a lot of ways. XD

THAT'S WHY THEY'RE BANDWAGONS. And really, the only reason I haven't tried Plurk or Twitter yet is that I'm afraid I'll get addicted to them too.

[sandrock.livejournal.com]

That first comic is probably one of my very favorites, if not my all-time favorite. 'VODKA!' I love it. :) The second is also very, very funny. Russia's 'everyone will be one with Russia' line kills me...

YOU SHOULD TELL THEM YOU LIKE BLOWING THINGS UP. TO THE EXTREME.

This is true. =___= I'm far to gregarious for Cloud and, well, Mist. I can't even quantify why I'm nowhere near Mist. I'm not stealthy? ^^;

Plurk = instant addiction. For me, anyway. Some people are able to resist. I was able to resist Twitter, but. WHY ARE THERE ALL THESE COOL SITES?

[makeste.livejournal.com]

VODKA~~! is totally my new favorite battlecry. Brilliant. Pretty much everything I've read so far has had me cracking up.

THEN I'D HAVE AN IDENTITY CRISIS BETWEEN SUN AND STORM.

Seems to me that if you're the type to score high on Storm, you'd almost automatically score low on Mist, actually. Mist is kind of roundabout and sneaky, while Storm's more open and direct. I dunno. XD

I DON'T KNOW, they just keep showing up. Everywhere I turn, the Internet is tempting me with some new cool thing. IT'S TOO MUCH. except it totally isn't

[sandrock.livejournal.com]

Mine too. It confuses people intensely when I randomly say the word 'vodka'. ^^; And it is pretty brilliant, the way it makes you think about certain events and yet also makes you laugh at them, despite the fact that some of these events are pretty grim.

NO WAY! 'EXTREME' IS THE MOTTO OF ALL MEN EVERYWHERE.

Right, hehe. Clara is not a ninja, Storm is not a ninja. :)

CURSE YOU, INTERNETS. *has to draaaag herself away sometimes*

[firecandy89.livejournal.com]

I got Lambo O_______O XDDD

Inksome? Is it fun?

[makeste.livejournal.com]

Coooooool. I honestly wouldn't have minded getting him either (though apparently he scored the lowest for me; that was actually a surprise XD). C'mon, how can you not love Lambo? :P

As for Inksome, so far it seems... pretty much exactly like LJ? But without ads, and with 150 userpics?!!. Which is a big selling point. The only thing is that you need an invite code to make a free account. I'd send you one but I'm still not clear on how they're acquired, though if you ask around, a lot of people seem to have them.

[firecandy89.livejournal.com]

When I first saw Lambo I though - am I a crybaby? xD

I'll ask. It sounds interesting :>

[makeste.livejournal.com]

I guess it could just be that you're not completely insane like all the other guardians? XD cuz let's face it, they're all nuts in their own ways

[chibikaya.livejournal.com]

HETALIAAAA OMFG YOU'RE INTO IT YAAAAAAY~~~~~~~

Lol history!fag here. 8Db Read the scans! XD And look for the main story arc, the posts usually say it. xD

Also, I got Chrome?! DB;; W-w-which is so weird I think!

[makeste.livejournal.com]

I'VE BEEN SKIMMING BITS AND PIECES OF IT HERE AND THERE FOR A WHILE, BUT IT WAS INTIMIDATING. But now I'm gonna use sandrock's link and read it more properly. 8D

Haha, cool. At least it's her there instead of Mukuro? XD

[rikasaurus.livejournal.com]

LOL I took that quiz a while ago, too. I got Ryohei XDDD


I'll have to look into this inksome. I see it everywhere now...and the 150 icons is pretty tempting *plots*

[makeste.livejournal.com]

HAHA, awesome. XDD

I'm pretty sure it's just another of those competitor journals that everyone tries out for a little while but never really gets anywhere... but it's still cool. I'd give you an invite if I could figure out how. XD
