Aww. I was having such a spectacular day until I got home. Ian is over at Tweedle's house, and Joshua emailed me back sayin' he's gonna be gone all month. Crapxxors. I already knew he was goin' to New Zealand (because I know things like that), but damn, that's quite a while. New Zealand and Australia. Meh, oh well. My phone call will have to wait 'til next month. No biggie. I'll just go strangle Ian in the meantime.

Ian's such a lucky bastard. >< The hobbit stole our precious, and we WANTS it!!! >:O Freakin'... I want chocolate, or Whataburger, or something to lift my spirits. Or I could just go sit in the corner, hugging my knees, shivering, until Ian gets back in an hour. Or I could bother Dad to git some Whataburger fer dinner.

Actually, I just feel like bothering someone.

Bother bother bother bother bother bother bother bother bother bother.

Bother bother.

Bother.

Guess what? I just found out that my history paper isn't due until NEXT Thursday! Migosh, I is so happy! I felt like doing that heel-click thing on my way to the library so I could update m' journal right away. ^^ Ian better not have a headache today, because he had one last night. We still need to watch Neon Genesis Evangelion. We've been emailing during the school day, and it sounds like he's fine, so w00t! Evangelion marathon tonacht!

Also, Ian sent me a link to a site, sort of an index of actors and stuff. I've been there before, but this time I decided to click around. While looking up Colleen O' Shaughnessy on the cast of Xenosaga Episode 2, I might as well check out Joshua's profile, y'know? So I clicked "more info", and the only item was that he has a pet pug named Pugums. ...PUGUMS! That's such an awesome name! XD Pugums. Fun to say, too. =P If the site is telling the truth, then I wonder where Pugums stays when Joshua travels all the time...

Pugums. I have to name something Pugums now. Like an RPG character, or a plushie, or something.

*looks around*

...Pugums. XD

I totally froze up in front of everyone when Joshua asked me to prove I was a true fan, and it's been eating at me every single day. So, I've composed a list of stuff I should have said. :P

(In no particular order.)

1. Informed the world (which means my parents and friends) of Joshua's existence.
2. Cosplayed to Realm's con as Tai. (Ian went as Matt.)
3. I've made the decision to go as Tetsuo next year, and Ian wants to cosplay Chaos from Xenosaga ep 2.
4. Threatened David with certain death until he gave me Joshua's Myspace URL.
5. I've been known to sit and watch ANY anime just because he's voicing in it.
6. Got majorly, majorly pissed at the fourth digimon movie's lack of Joshua.
7. Left ramune for him at the convention.
8. Squealed with joy at hearing him cuss in Akira. (I have a thing about wanting to hear voice actors cuss.)
9. I have his 800 number, home phone number, fax number, and address, which I actually feel really bad about, but I can't bring myself to get rid of any of it. At least I can send him a birthday card or something now.
10. At the convention, I seriously considered attacking Joshua's ankles when we were waiting for the premiere of Dead Texas to start. He was sitting only three feet away! But I didn't. Because that would have scared him right out of the room, and quite possibly the hotel, and maybe even Texas. I can hear him now. "Damned fans..."
11. Recorded the message Joshua left for Ian on his birthday. Omigosh, I'm jealous!
12. Literally stomped around my room in a huff because Ian spoke to Joshua over the phone without me there to record it.

I'll most likely think of more stuff all the time, so I'll come back and add. =P

Ooooooomigosh. Casey downloaded Google Earth on my computer. Just for kicks, I put in Joshua's address and hit enter. The camera zoomed down to the US, down into California, down into Burbank, and right into a neighborhood. And I found myself staring at a bird's-eye view of what just might be the house of Joshua Seth. Oh man. And it looks like he has a swimmin' pool and a hot tub. ^^

I scare myself. Hell, I'm probably scaring Joshua, too.

[shoe]

Dumbfounded: *expressionless*........No way. What the--just...what...Joshua Seth called Ian today! Ian got called by Joshua today! Tai called Lanyard today! This is not possible! This is--this is madness!

Angry: NOOOOOOOO!!! I MISSED IT! I missed Ian's First Calling of Joshua Seth! >< *slams fist against the wall* DANGIT! I wanted to record it! WAAAAGH!

Sad: Nuuuu! ;___; I can't believe Ian talked to him without me! I feel so unimportant... Meh. I guess it can't be helped that I wasn't there to tape the conversation. I shall just have to wait for my own 15-minute call, which I still need to arrange. I was waiting for Ian to get his before I got mine, so I could ask the questions that he missed.

Shocked: WHOA! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG! *runs around in circles* Ian said that Joshua meant to make me forget about being sick that day of the hypnosis show!?!? NO WAY! How did he do it!? MADNESS! This is absolute MADNESS, I say! X_X Someone explain it to me, quickly now, before I die of MADNESS!

Giddy: MmmmmmmWOW! Jeezus, I'm all happy now! So happy, in fact, that I went and put on my Tai goggles in celebration! Ooooooooh! I is so happy... I just might go have a glass of chocolate milk! Tomorrow after Ian tells me more of his Calling, I shall email Joshua to attempt to set up my own phone call. And this time, I'll be armed and ready with speakerphone and the tape recorder. And the video camera to catch all those weird Shoeisms of mine. XD

Ian and I decided to dub over all of FFVII Advent Children. Each character will have his/her own joke. Vincent's cape does everything for him, Yuffie's jawbreakers have been stolen, Tifa looks like Rinoa, Cid is Australian, Berret talks like Mr. T, Marlene and Denzel drink, Rufus is incoherent, Reno and Rude are upping their cool exterior, Aeris was always a lesbian, and the three bad guys (Loz, Yazoo, and Kadaj) are part-time credit card salesman bent on stealing Cloud's cellphone. Why? Because it can take pictures.

We got a couple of clips halfway done yesterday with Casey mumbling total gibberish as Rufus, and Ian cackling maniacally as a very happy Cloud. XD "Clim.........ClimHAZZARRRRRD! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHwee!"

But first, before we get any further, I need to download Adobe Premiere so as to have multiple audio tracks. 'Twould make it go a lot faster.

So, here's the tentative cast so far:

Brittany - Yuffie, Marlene
Casey - Rufus, Cait Sith
Hillary - Tifa, Denzel?
Ian - Cloud, Vincent, Reno, Berret, Cid
Micah - Kadaj
Rachel - Aeris (because she hates Aeris)
Sean - Loz, Rude, Red XIII, Yazoo
Joshua Seth - Bahamut Zero (Just a few pirate-like "arrrrrg" lines. If he won't "arrrrrg" for us over the phone, then Ian or Sean will have to suffice. :P)

O M G . Ian unleashed his Joshua Seth impersonation today. I freaked out, dude. It's crazy. Apparently he figured out how to do the voice about a week ago, but he spent time perfecting it and testing it out on his sister Rachel before proceeding to scare the livin' bejeebers out of me. And it worked. O_o

Absolute madness, I say.

Anyway, we showed Rachel Advent Children. Yay! The three of us are gonna dub over the movie with insanely funny stuff. A recurring theme will be Cloud's cellphone, which all the bad guys are after, because it can take pictures. And Berret will talk like Mr. T.

We just narrowly escaped being slammed by Hurricane Rita. Whew. Now it's predicted to turn more North, even into Louisiana. And right after we got the house boarded up, too, darnit. (With Joey and Ian's help. Thanks, dudes! Dun waste your twenty buxxors...)

I had my first cup o' curry noodles today. Couldn't figger out how to make the damned thing, though, since all the instructions were in Japanese. I just poured in water and nuked it in the microwave until it tasted okay. :P I do love Asian markets.

Ooh, it was Ian's birthday yesterday. I got him a box of giant pocky from said Asian market. We had been joking around that since Mr. Seth hasn't been able to call yet, he would happen to just call out of the blue on Ian's birthday. And...and...after I was dropped off at home last night, I got a very excited call from Ian just a few minutes later. He'd found a message from Joshua on his answering machine! O_o Another really weird coincidence to add to the list...

[shoe]

Hoo, I'm here in history class, updating from Cyril.

Ian got an email back about his 15-minute phone call, and Joshua said the best day would be Thursday.

OMFG that's today!!

And since we wanted to record it, but Ian had no way to do that, Ian gave him MY phone number! AAAAAH! Joshua Seth is gonna call my house today! I need to set up the video camera and the tape recorder and move one of the office phones into my room so we have speakerphone. GAH, OMG!

We shall have chocolate cokes to celebrate this wondrous event! The second Calling of Joshua Seth! And this time, it'll be recorded! (The first Calling was when he called back my cellphone in January when I was too stupid to leave a message.)

Ian is SO gonna get glomped today.

This song makes me feel evil. And inspired. Maybe I might sit down, write a few lyrics, and go plug in Autotune.

I also have a nagging want for a coffee beverage. I'm all café nerdy right now, even more so because I'm trying to work on a business assignment that's due tomorrow. A bucket of procrastination I am.

The windows are all foggy. Makes it look like it's cold outside. I wish. :P The fogged-up windows remind me of Halloween. Oh, man, it's starting to smell like fall, too. *inhales* I suddenly want to immerse myself in Nightmare Before Christmas. Well, Corpse Bride is coming out in a week and a half, so that's cool. I can't wait 'til Hot Topic starts carrying Tim Burton stuff again! I need to grab those Jack Skellington arm warmers I let get away last year.

w00t! Lanyard emailed Joshua Seth about his promised fifteen-minute phone call. We should hopefully have a response by tomorrow. I'm writing a list of questions for my own phone call. Man, it's gonna be awesome to hear him over the phone again.

Ho, I just might go make myself a mug of hot chocolate, even though it's like 90 degrees outside. Oh, man, it feels like fall... You know what? I'm gonna have a Halloween party this year. With candy.
