Project Paper

[foolish_m0rtal]

YES, YES! Ah, thank the GODS! My research paper, my frigging research paper that I've been working on for MONTHS is finally DONE! Done and dead as far as I'm concerned. Goodbye and good riddance!
My project was pretty weird. It dealt with the effect of 1/f noise on the development of wild type and Flavonol Synthase 1 Arabidopsis thaliana. Pretty weird sounding, I know, but trust me when I tell you it was a pain from the start. I am SO glad I'll be taking Computer Science next year.

If you'd like to see my project, please go under Recent Research in my links box. (don't do it! DOOON'T!)

MAN I love that icon. I had to explain the joys of Good Omens to TWA just to justify my evil cackling at it. (WHERE'D YOU GET THAT!?!?)

Er...at risk of inciting your poor wrath, um...what exactly is this lovely thing you did much research on?

[foolish-m0rtal.livejournal.com]

I got the icon from www.good-omens.com.
(YES, they have a fansite!) The person who did this one is H.J. Bender. He/she writes for the GoodOm fandom on fanfiction.net. You HAVE to read them. Here they are in chronological order:
1 Revenge of the Houseplants
2 Return of Hastur
3 Operation Salvation

Now go FORTH!

Arabidopsis thaliana and Arabidopsis thaliana Flavonol Synthase 1 (gene # atg57 something something extracted). They're types of plants. One of them is a mutant, a knock-out plant. It's had one of its genes removed.

I shall ahve to worship this fansite when I am NOT cheating by livejournaling at work...hmm... *smiles evilly*

I've READ revenge of the houseplants. Teh win. I worship that author. I'll ahve to check the others, likewise when I'm not at work (supposedly) calling people for my exterminator gig. (SO not a coffeehouse job, eh?)

Oooh. Revenge of Crowley on the Houseplants in other words, hmm? (ouch, having your genes removed) What class was this for, again?

[foolish-m0rtal.livejournal.com]

nur, the houseplants have revenge on Crowley for putting them through unspeakable horrors.

This class is one of my nerd school classes. It's research; it sounds harmless, but it is EVIL.

[obseletevulture.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know that. I wasn't referencing the story in THAT paragraph, I was making a joke about your uber report. (aided and beta'd by Crowley in my mind...) Sorry...should have made it more clear where i put my bad jokes...

(Crowley sexually harasses his plants in an obvious repression in the case of the pot of angel wings in that story--at least that seems to be the apparent intent of that particular author. In your report, he represses urges towards Hasteur by removing thier genes and otherwise screwing up those poor plants lives.)

[foolish-m0rtal.livejournal.com]

haha, yeah. The 1/f noise that I influenced the plants with is actually Hasteur being played on the tape over and over again until he turns into Freddie Mercury.
H.J Bender does all sorts of pictures referencing his/her stories. There's a picture with Crowley standing beside the pot of angel wings and the plant is holding up a sign that says "Proud Survivor of Sexual Harassment."
Gods, but I love the Good Omens online gallery...
There's even someone who designed a Crowley plushie. It's su kyute!

[obseletevulture.livejournal.com]

Or a certain Demonling AFTER he's turned into Freddie Murcury. *evil smile*

DARGH! Why can I never find these things?!?! *mental image already in place*

[foolish-m0rtal.livejournal.com]

hehee, yeah.
The Crowley plushie has this little apple with a bit of velcro that you can stick into his hand. Squee!

and here I was thinking someone had actually gone to teh trouble of sewing one...*sighs*
Well...aside from being slightly disappointed...only slightly! I still want to steal his apple. (What if it's a pomegranate? How can everyone be so sure it's an apple? Do apples GROW in the middle east?!?!)

[foolish-m0rtal.livejournal.com]

apples grow in India! (Kashmiri apples are SOO GOOD. I think the India Pakistan fight over Kashmir basically comes down to apples.)

[obseletevulture.livejournal.com]

I'm rather fond of my heritage actually--blood oranges are delicious but noboy trusts me when they see a "black" inside of an orange...
(Well, at least now I know that ONE person doesn't take my "Atlanta's Apples" fic personally--Lafayel would fight to rule your country if it has apples. My fic proves it. ^_^)

[foolish-m0rtal.livejournal.com]

what's your heritage? and what do blood oranges taste like?
We buy clementines from my neighbour every year. O-Oh dear...Lafayel ruling my country?
Lafayel: *bellowing* Humans on the left, pitiful former Eraser comrades on the right.
*a stampede commences. Amou ends up alone on one side of the street*
Lafayel: *point* What the?
Amou: *turns to look behind him* ?! Who are YOU?
Indian: My name is Rajiit, sahib.
Larayel: WTF?

[obseletevulture.livejournal.com]

Ahh...pan-european. Half straight dutch (Both kinds, including freese), like an eighth each italian/austrian (Italy's where the blood oranges come from, and they taste just like regular oranges except maybe just a touch more tart)

Ragshiel: um...hi! *waves cheerily, also hiding behind Amou because he's short*
Lafayel: *groan* Look...I understand why you might be confused, but you are NOT INDIAN!
Oniel: *looks forebodingly like an indian version of Shiba nearby*
Street merchants: Buymy curry!
Oniel: Hmph. *investigating goods* What meat is this?
Street merchant: Finest goat!
Oniel: *seriously considering buying curry, but otherwise scaring teh street merchant*
Ragshiel: -So I followed along, and we're still looking for Lahash since he chased after that cow, completely disrupting several people in search of enlightenment along the way. *sighs*
Lafayel: Uh...right. YOU! WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?
Rajit: He has a lovely scarf. *points at Ragshiel*
Ragshiel: *smiles* Oh? You like it? There was a wonderful girl who was knitting lefthanded somewhere around here, and she siply gave me one.
Rajit: It is very fine quality... *inspecting scarf*
Lafayel: ...Mine's better. it doubles as an immune system.
Ragshiel: O_o
Amou: ... is that possible?
Lafayel: WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE?!?!
Amou: *eek* senior class trip! What are YOU doing here?
Lafayel: WTF? I OWN this country now! *cackles*
Oniel: *suddenly looms behind him*
Lafayel: *notices a large shadow on teh ground* Hmm? GYEH! *falls over*
Ragshiel: Hello brother. What do you have there?
Oniel: *munches on goat curry* mmph.
Rajit: Ah, you are looking for a meal?
Ragshiel: Actually another brother of ours...but perhaps after we find him we could-
Rajit: Allow me to aid you in your search. *pauses and looks at Oniel* You look quite alike...are you all so?
Ragshiel: Oh, no, we're twins. *smile smile*
Oniel: *quietly munches and nods*
Ragshiel: Lahash looks much different. *beams*
Rajit: Ah. I will still aid you. Then you may dine at my establishment!
Ragshiel: that sounds wonderful! Lafayel? Would you like dinner?
Lafayel: *growls* I'm TRYING to run a COUNTRY here!
Ragshiel: *nods and begins to walk, talking to Rajit* I saw him last over here looking at chickens-
Amou: *sighs* I've lost my class...
Lafayel: WILL YOU ALL JUST LISTEN TO ME?!?
*everyone ignores him*
Lafayel:...*after a long time* I wonder where I can find one of those scarfs...

[foolish-m0rtal.livejournal.com]

XD
That was amazing.
Actually, if Lafayel tried to rule India, my cousin would probably just run over him with a scooter on the way to school.
Rajiit: My cousin pwns your cousin.
FM: We'll see about that. Kamehameha Wave!!!
Rajiit: Sweet Krishna, what is that?!
