OMG, guys. I am so stoked right now. So I was supposed to be reading, but suddenly got it in my head to do a search for the 2003 version of Cyborg 009. This led me to netflix where I found out that they had done not one, but 2 different series! I started the first one, and even though the animation is very different from the 2003 version I loved, it is so gorgeous, and the characters are still on point, despite this taking places a few years from the end of the original.

Why did I get on this tangent? I don't know, really., Maybe I'm looking for more pieces of my past escapes to add to my arsenal. Either way, it was nice to revisit those characters again, and fall in love all over again. I wonder if I should finally write that sequel to the Ties that Bind. Hmm.

I used to have muses for most of the Cyborgs. Joe and Albert (009 and 004) more notably, but at some point Ivan (001) turned up, too. All of these guys "protected" me from my abusive stepfather at the time. I always felt that they could never let him hurt me beyond repair. And I guess... they did what they were meant to do, and just...went dormant. But they're wide awake again, and as I mentioned before when greeting renewed muses, or visiting old fandoms, it's like having a real reunion. Joe is surprised to see we're in a new house, and Ivan is surprised that the boy who I used to babysit is no longer a boy. (He means Daniel.)

Since I've basically been in bed today, I spent it apping for a new game, reading (a little) and just generally feeling miserable. I really think the Eclipse is to blame for this state of affairs, but I'm not sure. Quite annoyed by it to be perfectly honest, since I had to skip my wire weaving class that I'd been looking forward to. I'm tired of mother nature dictating what I can and cannot do.

Role Player.me has turned out ot be a lot more fun than even I thought possible. I haven't fallen in with the "wrong" crowd yet, and hopefully continue not to. my friend Raven has been a great guide to everything, and I've really enjoyed learning the ins and outs.

Also! While I was on Netflix, I was delighted to see that they had Sing! on there, as well as Moana, and Trolls. Need ot see if they still have Kubo because I really wanted to watch that one, too. I'm not too worried about Trolls. It was a cute movie, but a little too much for me. Kubo, Moana, and Sing! have been on my radar for a while. Time to see if their worth it. Going to start with Sing! though. Really wanted to see that in theaters. But if I have a choice, live action movies always take preference.

You know, despite feeling better about everything, sometimes I still feel like I might be a bit insane in some way. How many people actively talk about their muses like real people the way I do? Because I not only talk about it, I believe what I'm saying. That puts me in a whole other type of crazy doesn't it? Maybe it's time to talk to Penny and Q. They would understand this.

4am....WTF

It's too early to be up and to have so many thoughts. But I guess that's what this journal is for, mainly, so here goes:

Yesterday evening I bought Season 1 and 2 of the Magicians because I could. It felt nice! The flip side is that now certain people think I'm abandoning Shadowhunters because I am so into The Magicians. Why is that a crime? I am not abandoning anything.

Shadowhunters Season 2 has been full of Valentine Morgenstern, and I hate him. I have never hated a character in literature as much as I hate Valentine. So it's a struggle to watch him on screen. When I can get someone to watch with me, or have someone around that I can comment with, I'm fine, but lately Lissa hasn't been watching as it airs so we're both behind.

It also doesn't help that my DVR box has been acting up so that I can't watch anything I've been recording. So that really has put me behind on several shows, not just Shadowhunters. So I decided to get something that doesn't bother me as much. Besides those muses have been loud as all get out, and when you've got muses that loud, you do not ignore them. Eliot wanted me to have the seasons so I could watch at my leisure without worrying about Netflix taking it off their site. Which made sense, honestly.

Shadowhunters Season 2 will be there next month. And then I'll get it. if anything, I should be thinking about The Librarians Season 3. I'll be gradually getting all 3 Seasons on Amazon because Google Play lost the rights to it, and I have OCD so I need to have all 3 in the same place. Hell, I will probably also buy the DVDs cause I love this show so much.

But yeah, I really don't like that this person thinks I'm abandoning Shadowhunters. That could never happen. Anyone who knows me knows how devoted to Cassandra Clare's world I am. My devotion to her goes way deeper than my devotion to Stephenie Meyer. But then again, Cassandra Clare actually gives a damn about her fans. And she treats some of us more like friends than fans. (I am one of those lucky few!) So of course I am still devoted to the show based on her work. And I need to clarify. I hate Valentine, but that just means that she knew how to write a villain, and that makes me love him in a way? I don't know if anyone understands that...its a thing with writers and readers.

While The Magicians is my current focus right now, I love and will always love Shadowhunters. I've invested a lot of time an energy into Shadowhunters, and I will no doubt continue to do so. They just cast Sebastian Verlac/Morgenstern. It looks like they might be abandoning the Verlac storyline. I hope not, but I will support whatever changes that they make as hard as it will be. (I may have to be furious if they omit the Daylighter storyline for Simon, though because that is a major plot point for Simon's story).

I can't say anymore about this without really getting more upset and annoyed. So I'll just end it here. I just hope I can make them understand that it's okay to be devoted to two shows at the same time. One for the fact that me and Quentin (from the Magicians) share a lot of similarities mentally and emotionally, and the other because it is the biggest part of my fangirl life because of the source material, and it's creator.

Next entry, I will try and write more about Quentin and why I am so connected to him. You might finally hear about my secret kingdom, Carvel!

I really should come up with more creative titles for my journal entries, but eh. Last night was my birthday Bingo Night with Mom. That was a lot of fun, but I will say the place was crowded as all get out, and there was so much coughing going on, I felt like I was in a hospital instead of a Bingo Hall.

Per usual, Mom won at the beginning of the night, while I got close all night and won nothing. :( But it was still nice to get out and away from Dadddy for a few hours. I told Mom we need to do something once a month and that's that. She agreed with me.

The only problem I had last night was that my pain flared up really bad towards the end of the evening. I took two advil to combat it until I could get home to my CP medicine. I hate getting older. I think that's what's happening here. As I get older, more symptoms are going to crop up.

Ordered my game today when I woke up, and I was surprised to see that I got free One Day shipping! Which means it will be in my hands tomorrow. :) What game, you ask? I got Super Mario Maker 3DS. This way I can play on the go, and redesign the course on my Wii U when I get home. Think of it as a game designer notebook edition. That's what I decided to do. Next month I plan to get Fire Emblem Awakening just because I've heard that it is the easiest of FE games to play as a beginner.

I've been listening to a lot of Icon for Hire lately, and I gotta say, I feel like their latest CD, "You Can't Kill Us" has really been speaking to me. Ariel, the lead singer seems to have a lot of experience with mental illness, and when she talks about it in her music, I understand what she's saying, and I relate to it well.

One of my favorite songs on the new CD is "Demons" which deals with fighting through your mental illness. I would love to fight more and get past my anxiety. But I don't know if that will ever be possible. Even sometimes going to Coloring Club, a place I normally feel safe, can agitate my anxiety. Especially when it gets loud. But when I'm listening to that song, it makes me want to try harder, and so I keep going, whether I Feel like it or not.

Except for today. My pain is so amped up, I am skipping Bunco. Actually, I'm feeling light headed right now from the Baclofen and Gabapentin combination. So I'm going to end this here and hopefully lay down, but things are tense in the house right now for reasons I can't get into. (No it has nothing to do with me, it's just between my parents). I'll probably set up my 2 screens on Netflix then go finish Season 1 of The Magicians. :) Q always makes me feel better.
