Short but Sweet: Lyrical Inspiration

            Staring at the sea
                        Will she come?
Is there hope for me
                  After all is said and done
Anything at any price
          All of this for you
All the spoils of a wasted life
All of this for you
            All the world has closed her eyes
Tired faith all worn and thin
         For all we could have done
And all that could have been

                                    Ocean pulls me close
            And whispers in my ear
The destiny I’ve chose
            All becoming clear
                     The currents have their say
The time is drawing near
   Washes me away
Makes me disappear

            I descend from grace
            In arms of undertow
                       I will take my place
                                    In the great below

            I can still feel you
                        Even so far away

Jobs are Hard.

It’s harder finding a job in this economy than you think, and beyond that, being that I live in a border-town and Arizona’s economy is shot worse than most states, I find myself with very little options.

I’ve been doing sponsored posts and the like on this blog for a while now– there are a few every now and again, and while it slowly builds up to me earning some decent bank, it’s nothing that will keep me sustained, at least not at this point right now. So while I was looking around last night for more sponsored blog posty type sites, I stumbled across the holy grail of work for me…

About.com

I know, I know– being a guide at About.com seems about as unlikely to happen for me as growing another foot, but I’m honestly holding out hope that they’ll need me enough that it’ll work out, considering the topic at hand is Anime, and I feel I know a bit about that, having grown up on it for as long as I have. The pay would be great after the initial training period, and this is somethign I can do.

I feel like I can write compelling articles on anime– or lists about suggested topics, or hell, even a list about animes I feel should be made into some kind of live action feed (not like the debacle that was the DBZ movie, mind you). I feel I have something to offer About.com if I were to be hired– I’d work hard, I’d work fast, and I’d make sure to keep my commentary fresh. I’d delve into more Animes and watch everything I could get my hands on. I’d keep my eyes and ears open and learn as much as I could, and still be able to sustain my lifestyle and then some.

I know it’s ridiculous to think they’d pick me out of all the applicants they likely had, but a girl can dream, can’t she? I mean, there’s nothing saying that I’m not capable of doing this, and that they won’t find me as useful, is there? Come on luck!

World of Warcraft: It Pays to be Pretty

So I finally managed to get the whole customer service debacle behind me and got my Rogue transferred over from Alliance to Horde.

It occurs to me that while I enjoyed a lot of Alliance side’s offerings, in the end I didn’t have enough connections or feel like knowing people over there1, and so I ended up moving back. I miss the clothes more than anything, as human Misseri was beyond hotness with her slightly chubby features and corset-like top– but in the end, Undead have always been my babies, so the transition wasn’t so bad.

Thusfar, everything on Horde Side seems unchanged– I’m looking into the idea of getting into a Raiding guild, and picking up the whole “RP’ing” thing again at some point, when I get my head around how I actually want this incarnation of Misseri to act2.

But I’ve noticed something about both sides that leaves little to be desired, given the whole purpose of this server is Roleplay– If you aren’t pretty, you aren’t worth the time. Granted, you can get role play, but if a pretty little thing walks by and seems accessible at all, you tend to get ditched. I’m not saying everyone is like that, but making new connections comes down to that sometimes3.

I wish it were less true, because I personally find Undead females to be highly beautiful in their own way– they appeal to me more than the waif-thin Blood Elves, for sure, because at least Undead have a reason for their figures being gaunt. I think I gravitated towards them because of the fact that I prefer the flawed to the perfect. Undead kind of represent this subtle kind of beauty– you have to dig past the layers of decayed flesh to get to the tastiness of the personality, and while I like that, it doesn’t work well in new role play. People tend to judge based on appearance first, and everything else later. It doesn’t bode well for someone who prefers the rotting flesh, no?

I’m just kind of hoping I can find a comparable raiding group to play with that’ll give me a bit of leniency on missing Raid dates considering the current situation of our internet flickering every now and again and me having to restart the router more than once a week. But… I guess we’ll see. My hope is that I find a reason to enjoy my game again, because as it is now I’m getting in one of those agitated funks that makes me anti-social– and that’s never fun for anyone.

Does anyone else who reads this game? Hell, does anyone else read all of these?

-----------------------------------

  1. a lot of them were pretty much douches []
  2. I think we’re officially on her fifth incarnation– the name will never change []
  3. that and how far you’re willing to go, and for a girl who doesn’t “ERP”, I’m kind of lacking in tastiness for most teenage males []

Top 10 Hottest Actors

This is a continuation of a previous post (Top Ten Hottest Actresses), at the behest of Haley, I’ve decided to write a Top 10 Hottest Actors list– she thought it would be interesting to see what I applied to hotness in actors as opposed to actresses, and see if we again, agree a bit on who’s on top.

At the end of this post I will be posting honourable mentions for both Actors and Actresses, as I forgot to do so for the latter in its own post– that being said, I suppose we should move on to the list itself, non?

Gerard Butler

10. It goes without saying (well, to most) that accents are one of my biggest selling points for people sometimes. A good accent can make up for just about any character flaw (within reason), and definitely can override flaws in appearance, considering they’re all pretty superficial anyway, and Gerard Butler has one of the sexiest accents this side of the Atlantic– Scottish accents just do it for me, and I can’t help that, but beyond that, the man is gorgeous in that ruggedly handsome sort of way that screams ‘I’m kind of a bad boy’.
That being said, beyond just the looks, he can be a complete nerd and has a sense of humour that is startling in some cases– I watched a video of him on youtube joking around about how late he was sometimes and just being funny– any man who doesn’t take himself too damn seriously will always end up on my list, and in that case, in 10th spot.

Top 10 Hottest Actresses.

Let me preface this by saying that hot is subjective, and beyond that, I find substance and intelligence hot, as well as knowing how to carry yourself, so it’s likely that some of these names or faces won’t scream out at people in the way of “I’m a gorgeous little bimbo!” but they should at least speak to people on the level of “She has more than just one thing going for her.”

That being said, bated-breath.net is proud to present its favourite/hottest Actresses!

Monica Bellucci

10. Very few women have managed to capture me in the way that Monica Bellucci has been able to– she manages to be graceful and elegant in any role she’s in, and I particularly liked her in Brotherhood of the Wolf , she was amazing and beautiful and through everything I found myself completely enamored with her.
For some reason it seems like she doesn’t get nearly enough credit as she should– I absolutely adore her and that’s apparent enough by her appearance on my list. Though she may be lacking in current roles, the question here isn’t about her ability to be current, but her ability to be timeless and gorgeous. She has the whole package– poise, intelligence, and style, all wrapped up in beauty. That is why she’s number 10 on my hottest actresses list, and why I feel you should check out more of what she has to offer.
