Get to know me Tag Game

I got tagged by @mysteries-x-mistakes for this! Thank you! I’m really confused at all the attention (read: any) I’m getting recently, but I welcome it. I am in desperate need of new friends as all the ones I currently have suck.

Favorite color: Short answer: pinks and purples. I have found that I hate locking myself into one thing via favorites, so I try not to. My favorite colors are pinks and purples. I would probably be one of those obnoxious UwU gamer girl aesthetics but without the personality.

Currently reading: Short answer: The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie. I haven’t read much since middle school and I’m trying to get back into it. I watched a Youtuber talk about his favorite books over the last year (he read 45!) and he said as a writer, reading is the closest thing to an apprenticeship you can get. But I don’t like reading, so it’s proving difficult. Being broke, though, has made it so I don’t want to purchase books when I don’t think I’ll like them, because then I’m out an increasing amount of money that I don’t have to spend. So I’ve gotten a library card, but my library doesn’t have all the books I’m finding, so when I get the desire to read a certain one and I can’t, then I just... add other ones to my list and never pick one to read. I acquired The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie and I’m not enjoying it because it’s too edgelord and gory for my tastes, but it’s the one I invested in for now. Also my husband was home on summer break, so I couldn’t really read while he was home. And the library loans are 2 weeks. I also tried to read a Jane Austen book and there was a sentence that went on for an entire paragraph in like... 1800s fancy English and I couldn’t do it. So I figured I’d grab the audiobook at some point.

Last song: Short Answer: I have no idea. A Youtube compilation of City Pop. I don’t listen to Spotify because of ads and I can’t curate it myself, so I listen to a lot of Youtube compilations. I love the Japanese 80s City Pop, the one popularized by Mariya Takeuchi’s Plastic Love. I also enjoy the like 2hr long compilations of video game music, or piano medleys of video game music, or covers. I listen to them while I write because I can’t process auditory words and writing words at the same time, so the instrumentals and foreign language don’t bother me. Kanye just released another album and my husband likes him, so he was trying to make me listen to all of Kanye’s discography, so I might’ve been subjected to that if my husband hadn’t realized I didn’t like Kanye after all his good albums.

Last movie: Short answer: I don’t remember, actually! So, my husband and I probably went to see Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker in theatres here in Japan, but as for a movie on, like, Netflix or something... Probably Spiderman Far From Home? Or maybe something else I don’t remember. We watch a lot of series, either on Netflix or an anime site. There’s plenty of long-form Youtube video essays, but I wouldn’t count those as movies...

Last series: Short answer: Star Trek Deep Space Nine Before that it was My Little Ponies, The Chair, Star Trek Voyager, and... Boku no Hero Academia. Star Trek DS9 became our comfort watch for a while. It’s very philosophical and relaxed and character focused. My husband really digs it. And I loved it as a kid. And I remember loving Voyager, but upon rewatching it, Voyager is way different than I remember.

Craving: Short answer: Chocolate. Always chocolate. Sometimes I crave other things like Coco’s curry or American chinese or American Ramen or Chef Boyardee or other stuff, but right now, I just wanna stuff my face with Arnott’s Tim Tams.

Coffee or Tea: Short answer: no thanks. My husband started to drink a little coffee every day to stay awake at school. In solidarity, I asked if maybe I should start trying coffee so he wasn’t alone. We stopped at a rest area along the toll road between Yamaguchi and Chiba (I don’t remember where) and got me a Cafe au Lait from a vending machine. I readied myself for it to be gross, since I’ve always hated coffee, but it tasted like chocolate and smelled like the best parts of coffee smells. Now I can tolerate a latte, but that’s as far as I’ll go down on the milk content. As for tea? I hate pretty much all teas except for dumb Crystal Light Peach Tea or Peach Mango Green Tea. It’s really difficult to live in a country with a million different bottles teas and coffees and I hate all of them. I usually grab a Salty Lychee or a Coke Zero if we get a beverage at the konbini. Or, lately, a Protein Drink or something as a meal replacement.

Currently working on: My WIP I have affectionately called Zodiac. It is a multi-book epic elephant of a series that I am feeding every day with more ideas. I don’t know if I’ll ever start eating it.

As for tagging others? I tag... @master-duncan @eriquin @stuffaboutwriting @ruby-overlock @thewritingpikachu Uh... And of course anyone else that wants to participate. And, usual disclaimer, you don’t have to do this if I’ve tagged you.

Chapter 7. /- play video games all day/

06.06.'19

Grayson

do you have plans for today?

I bit my lip when I saw his name popping up on my screen. I wasn't expected him to massage me at all.

not really, I only need to go to work at 3 pm. I am trying to make my mom proud and bake some cookies.

Grayson

you should come over maybe, and bring some cookies:)

I am not sure if it's gonna be eatable, but I am going after it's done xx

After our massages Grayson sent their address, and my stomach immediately flipped when I realized that I am gonna see him again. Till the cookies were in the oven I put on a light makeup and stood for a few long minutes in front of my wardrobe to figure out what should I wear. I ended up wearing a white high waisted jogger with a white, ribbed bardot top. I even put my hair in a pony tail since I was way too lazy to wash it.

In my uber I sent Corinna a quick massage. It was funny how I already planned going over to her house tonight to tell her what happened on my rooftop with Grayson, but maybe that story is gonna be even more longer, since I am on my way to the twins's house. Of course it made her freak out. It’s always made me smile how excited she got every time when it was about my love life.

I took a deep sigh before I knocked on the door. This neighborhood were pretty, and kind of chill compared to the fact that we were still in the busy LA.

"Hey, what's up?" opened Ethan the door and pulled me closer for a quick hug.

"Hi, I brought cookies" I lifted my hands with the box in it, that made her eyes sparkle up and invited me to the house. " I am not sure if it's the best though. I tried it and I think it's fine" I giggled. It was my grandma's recipe and she always told us that this is a recipe you can't mess up because it's so easy. It was true to be honest, I just needed to mix the ingredients and put it to the oven, but I was still not sure about my baking skills.

"That's so good " looked down at me Ethan, after he took a bite. I just smiled how much he loved it while I looked around in the kitchen/living room area. Compared to the fact that only boys lived there, their house was tidy. The walls were mostly white and looked really good next to the light wood ceiling.

"Grayson?" I asked finally. I wanted to ask this in like the first one minute, but I didn't wanted to seem like a creep.

"He went out for cafe, he is gonna be back soon" he said and I decided to not to say anything of that cheeky smile that spread on his face after my question.

"And you, what are you up to?"

"To be honest I just failed a match in Fortnite because of you" he rolled his eyes.

"I brought cookies, you can't say anything" I laughed while I followed him to his room. " I never really understood the hype for Fortnite, I loved PUBG more" I sat down to his bed while he sat in front of the computer where the game was opened.

"I never tried that"

"It's similar to Fortnite, but the graphic is more realistic" I explained.

"Who would've thought that you are a gamer girl" laughed Ethan. Probably for most of the people who knows me that's not a surprise. I always said that I am a half boy. There are some days when I could dress like a boy, and there are days when I dress cute and girly. It honestly depends on my mood. It was funny how curious Ethan got about the game and he immediately went online to buy the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds game, and waited for it to download. "What did you do with Grayson on saturday? He doesn't said anything when I asked."

"Someone is really curious" I grinned. "We just talked and didn't really saw what time it was"

As soon as the video game downloaded Ethan jumped on it and I just smiled while I sat closer to the edge of the bed to see what he is doing. After he created a character he gave me the controller because I guess he was way too interested in my gaming skills.

"The last time I played was months ago, don't expect too much" I said and tried to concentrate on the screen to pick up weapons and other stuff in the house. It was funny how I talked about weapons and stuff and got all excited for the game. That was the real me. Sometimes I like playing with make up or buy sexy lingeries, but at the same time I love these things too that are not "normal" for most girls. "Wait someone is here in the house"

"How do you know?"

"You can hear the steps if he is close enough, or even see the steps on the map" I pointed to the corner, where the map was on the screen.

'Wow, nice" said Ethan after I killed the boy in the house. In the meantime I heard real door opening from outside, probably Grayson finally got home.

" E?" shouted Grayson and I flinched for a second as Ethan started to scream next to my ear to him. I immediately started to laugh when Grayson stepped to the room to give Ethan his cafe and got surprised when he found me there.

"You literally look like you caught us having sex or something" I shook my head and Ethan started to laugh on my words.

"Hi to you too" he grunted, probably because I turned back to look at the screen again instead of him.

"I finish this round and then I'm yours okay?" I looked up at him under my lashes and he just sighed.

"I am gonna be in the gym" he left the room and even the way he talked I could tell that he doesn't really liked again how I acted. He was like a child, who throws a tantrum when he doesn't gets enough attention.

I really tried to win the round, while kept tried to answer to E's questions about the game. I ended up in the third place, maybe in a another round I would win but in this it was obvious that I didn't played in a long time.

"Oh yeah, you are not a pro but still ended up in the third place for the first time in months" said Ethan after I turned to his direction.

"I just knew the map, in the newer ones I am a noob" I shrugged my shoulders and gave him my seat and the controller. " Can you please show me where is your brother?" I asked and he just nodded with a big grin on his face. I chuckled as he stole a another cookie from the kitchen on the way while he brought me out to the other side of the house. Loud music came from behind the door so I felt like it's unnecessary to knock and I just opened the door to step inside the gym and closed it behind me. Grayson laid in front of the door in the dynamometer and lifted two barbells. After he realized that I came he put them to the floor and sat up. Don't look down, don't look down. I kept tried to hold myself back since he was shirtless, his whole body was shiny from the sweat and his muscles were even more visible because of the workout. I don't know if I would rather go out from here, or just go to sit on his lap and kiss him till he can't breathe.

"Did you got bored of Ethan?" he asked derisively.

"You invited me to come over and you wasn't home, I only spent 15 minutes with him" I sighed and sat down to a work out equipment that was next to me.

"Not like you was happy when you saw me."

"Stop acting like this " I pouted to show my cute form even more. I wasn't really in the mood to act like in the diner with him, especially since the things he said were silly. In the meantime I just realized where I sat down. I never in my life was in a gym, since I am way too lazy, so I put my hand to the to side and tried to close them in front of me, but since it was probably set for Grayson's wight I wasn't even able to move it. Grayson just laughed at my trying and to be honest that's the only thing that I could do too. "Don't laugh, I am strong."

"Oh yeah, I see"

"It's just set up for bodybuilders like you " I rolled my eyes that made my eyes move to his arms, that he noticed and he lifted his arms up to show his muscles with a cheeky smile on his face. "Amazing, I am way too lazy for things like this " I said and stood up to check my body in the mirror that was next to Grayson. "I shouldn't be though."

"Well if we see it like this, you don't need it" he said and as I looked at him from the mirror I saw how his eyes were on my ass and smiled when he realized I caught him. The air around us got hotter and I hated how much impact he had over my body even without touching me.

"Why are you jealous of your brother if I talk to him?" I asked and stood in front of him. It was weird how now he was the one who looked up at me while he was only within reach. I really tried to hold back this question but of course it's me, who is never able to hold back anything.

"It's not about him, he is the most important person in my life I am not jealous. It's just annoys me that I feel like you are more open to him than to me" he said.

"That's not true" I shook my head. It was just easier to talk to Ethan, there wasn't this tingly feeling that come up every time he was next to me and I always a lot more tense when it's about him. I can talk to Ethan about anything without thinking too much of it, but with Grayson it's different. "How long does this takes to you?"

"Twenty minutes, you can go out to E if you want to"

"I'm staying" I sat back down with a big smile on my face. I wasn't planned to toss a opportunity to stare at him as he works out for twenty minutes. He just smiled at me and laid back again to grab the barbells again, and I took out my phone from my pocket and only looked up at him a few times while I looked around on twitter and instagram. If I would go to a gym to be honest, I would probably do the same thing.

After he finished he went to the bathroom to take a shower and I joined Ethan in the living room. From the casual talking another video game party started, but now Grayson joined us too. They tried to teach me how to play Mario Kart against them. The whole living room was filled with our loud laughs.

"You have such a nice view from here " I said after we went out to the their yard and I looked to the city behind the pool. The two boys sat down to the chairs next to the door and I even blushed a little bit as they both gazed at me. I was sure they talked about me while I didn't heard them.

"Are you hungry?" asked Ethan.

"Nah, I need to go to work and I wanna go home before that to change" I said and stood from my other leg next to them and put my hands in my pockets.

"What's wrong with this outfit?" asked Grayson and his eyes probably not for the first time today moved up and down on my body before he looked into my eyes.

"This top is a little bit dangerous next to a four years old to play" I laughed.

"Do you wanna sit down?" asked Ethan and I just shook my head to stay, before Grayson grabbed my wrist. I looked down at him with a confused look, but I understood what he wanted when he pulled me down to sit on his lap. I am pretty sure I forgot how to breathe properly in those minutes and even after I moved around a bit to put my weight more to one of his legs so I can see him too while we talked.

"Tell me if I am too heavy" I looked back at him. His face was really close to mine and my body kept reacted to the fact, that we touched in a lot of places.

"Omg Mira, I probably will" he sighed sarcastically and put his hands on the lover half of my thigh next to my knee. This movement was enough to let my fantasy to fly and I bit my lip and looked to the pool direction to stop my thoughts about his hands moving up.

"How long do you stay in LA?" asket Ethan that snapped me back to reality again.

"Till next december"

"Only till then?" asked Gray and I just nodded.

"That's not too long" added Ethan. "When we finally find a girl who plays Mario Kart with us, she only stays for two years. That's sucks" granted Ethan and made me laugh with his words. Even the thought that Grayson feels how my body shakes from the laughs or he can feel basically anything made me feel some type of way and it was really hard to stay put together and not show anything of these things.

"Two years is a long time, I have a bucket list with some crazy shit. Even if I check a few things I am gonna go home happy " I said with a smile.

"Like what?" asked Grayson.

"There is a few 'everyday' thing, like see the Hollywood sign at night and stuff and there are a few crazier one too, and I am not gonna tell those" I said and even the thought that he reads it made me blush.

As Ethan started to tell a story about one of his friend, who wrote a bucket list for a trip too I slowly started to zone out and didn't even realized how I started to play with Grayson's bracelets that were on his wrists on my thigh.First I moved around my fingers on it, but when accidentally touched his skin I know I was right and his skin was as soft as I pictured it. For a moment the breath got caught in my throat when I bumped into his eyes as he smiled while watched my movements. Because I got embarrassed I started to move around in his lap and when he grabbed my thigh and saw how his face flinched I blushed even more and looked away from his eyes to bit my lip and to calm down. I just needed to delete from my mind how much impact he had on me and on my body, and how close I am to him and at the same time still far away. He was still almost a stranger for me who kept attracted me more and more. I felt like I started to lose my mind because of him.

"It's crazy, right?" asked Ethan and I was glad Grayson at least listened to his story and was able to talk to him.

After I checked my phone and saw what time is it I realized it's time for me to go.As much as I would enjoy sit there in Grayson's lap for hours I needed to call a über and stand up from his lap to grab my stuff. I said bye to Ethan in the yard with a big hug, while Grayson came with me to the front door. Before I opened it I leaned against it and looked up at Grayson. God I wanted to kiss him so bed when my eyes moved to his lips and I saw how pink and plump and soft they looked. When a light smile spread on his lips I looked up to his eyes immediately and bit my lip because he probably noticed what I just did.

"Are you free tonight?" he asked. My inner goddess immediately picked out a sexy lingerie from her wardrobe and moved around in front of the mirror in it, but sat down disappointed to the bed when she heard my response.

"I wanted to go over to Corinna's, but if you offer something better I'm gonna think about it" I said with a cheeky smile on my face. He just chuckled on my words and run through his hand on his hair.

"Everyone needs to see the Hollywood sign, if they come to Los Angeles, right?" he asked and put his hands to his jogger's pockets.

"If you make my wishes come true like that I am gonna tell more things from my list too" I laughed.

"Deal" he said immediately. "I pick you up at nine, okay?".

"Yeah" I nodded and before anything could turn awkward I stood closer to him and left a quick kiss on his cheeks, before I opened the door and left the house.

On that day I already knew that Grayson Dolan is gonna mess up my days in Los Angeles. I could feel how my cold heart started to scratch when he was closer to me and I was already afraid if it's starts to melt. Yes at this points after all these single years I felt like my heart is frozen and someone really needed to impress me to even start to stretch it. I hated myself when I even thought about that maybe he would be able to melt it. He, who could get millions of girls. Why would he even bothered? I really should start to really grow up and don't believe in fairy tales. I should just go and see what happens without expecting anything. I should laugh, cry, kiss, have sex till I am young and I could do anything.

These thoughts really made me realize that I really should live like this at least in this two years. Being wild and free as much as I can without overthinking anything. I am gonna close out the fears from my mind, and gonna do things that I never did before.I am gonna believe in myself. These thoughts could probably come like 10 minutes earlier, maybe I would have actually kiss Grayson in the door, but I was afraid to do it in that moment. Whatever. There is new Mira who wanna have fun in the next two years in America. And she hopes she really will.

Gamer Girl Rant.

I play table top RPGs and board games with a group of friends. There is me, 4 guys, and another female in the group.

We were playing a game of GURPS before she joined up. We're playing a sci fi setting and our GM wrote in a really cool character for her to play. So, she shows up. She comes out of this hole in space and enters our ship. She doesn't say a word and just starts walking around the ship and says she was a part of the original crew (we found the ship) and doesn't really give us any reason to believe that she wasn't hostile towards us. Our captain has the disadvantage of anger, whenever he's in a stressful situation, he has to pass a certain die roll to not lash out verbally or react.

She did something that our GM said he had to roll for. He crit failed the roll and tied her up to some landing gear because she was being hysterical. She wouldn't speak to any of us or give us any information and already tried threatening us multiple times saying that we didn't belong there and demanded to be captain. He did this to get her off the ship because she was snarky as hell to all of us and not cooperative at all. it's like we weren't even playing the same game.

So this happens and she holds a huge grudge against him the most and all of us in and out of game. If someone ever says something about something not being fair, she goes, "Oh, you want to talk about not fair?" where our GM literally had to talk to her 4 times over a few months about her character and that she needed to lighten up on the dramatics.

Eventually something happened with the ship where it might be restored to its original settings before we found it. If this happens, anyone who is not listed as cleared crew, the ships defense system would destroy us on site. Her character apparently knew this and she says OUTLOUD that she makes a face, as in keeping that info secret from us and wouldn't care if our characters died. I said that if that happened that I wouldn't come back to the table. If she knowingly let the rest of the party die because of her power trip, I wasn't going to play with her.

A few months later we sit down again and we talk about her complete bitch of a character and our GM was willing to let anyone make a knew character. and since we all were having an issue with hers, she reluctantly starting making a new character. but she seemed excited about it, because she didn't like that our characters didn't get along.

Now a few months later, she is STILL bringing up her old character and making our Captain feel bad about what his DICE made him do. Not what he did on his own account because he wanted to hurt her. Whenever it comes up he apologises, but she has NEVER apologized for making the table so uncomfortable. She can do absolutely no wrong.

And the guys coddle her. One of them had gone out on like 2 dates with her a long time ago and it didn't work out because she didn't want to keep going. However, she didn't say anything to him. She just disappeared and went away for like a year and a half. And when she came back, he very politely asked her out again and said that if she said no, he would drop it and just be friends. And when she said no, he did exactly that, but she's so hung up on the fact that he even asked her out and makes it weird. Then she liked another guy in our group a lot and he didn't feel the same way about her. And he communicated that he wasn't looking for a girlfriend and was only interested in something like friend with benefits. HE TOLD HER THIS AND SHE THOUGHT THAT MAYBE HE WOULD CHANGE HIS MIND AND KEPT SEEING HIM FOR LIKE 8 MONTHS. Then she finally asked if it was going anywhere again and when he said no, she didn't show up for a few weeks because her feelings were hurt and she didn't want to see him, which I understand.

Now moving on. My group is also a brony group and there is a new MLP tabletop rpg that we started playing. She said she had no interest in it at all. so we all make plans to play this game before a house party that our GM was having. She said she would show up after the game, but she showed up before the game. So we let her play and she makes a really silly, throw away type of character. The entire game she wasn't taking the game as seriously as the rest of us were. we get half way through the module and she hands in her sheet and says nothing else. we talk about planning the pony game multiple times and never said she wanted to finish things out. Then we finally peg down a date to continue and we're all talking about it after a board game night. She says nothing. Just plays on her phone. Then later in the week she passive aggressively texts me that she's pretty sure she's banned from the pony game. and I'm like????? no, do you want to play? If you do you have to say something to the GM. so she messages him and tells him she's pissed she wasn't invited back and we're all just????????? you never said you wanted to play???????? If you do just say something and we'll make it happen. and then she said she doesn't want to now because we didn't invite her. and she lost all interest because of that.

So fast forward to her birthday. She said she wanted to host it at a board game cafe on her face book but didn't want to say anything because one of our friends was in town on that weekend from school and we had planned a board game night with him. I make all of these plans to make it seem like going to the cafe was his idea and stuff while making a surprise party for her. because she had her heart broken, thought we didn't want her around, etc. this party was my attempt to show her that if she would just communicate with us that we would accommodate her because we care about her. the party ends up being pretty good and I (tried) to make her favorite cake for her, and we played her favorite board games.

Fast forward to tonight. Our group was playing Paranoia. the game is designed to destroy your character. you get 6 clones so dying isn't that big of a deal. there is also many ways that characters can screw over other characters. She did this to me tonight when I wasn't looking and I found out at the end of the game. She apparently switched our keys at one point and I really don't know how it happened. Now, if it had been anyone else it wouldn't have bothered me so bad. But it was her. the girl that I have listened to bitch about her GURPS character being mistreated because of a die roll. The girl that brings it up all the time that one of our friends (the captain, who is also the guy who went out with her a few times) feels he has to grovel and apologize a million times and she never forgives. The girl that acted like a child when we played a game that she didn't want to play and got pissy, slammed the table with her water bottle, and put her head down like a little girl and brought the whole mood down. The girl that we have to tip toe around because upsetting her is drama we just don't want to deal with. The girl who said that she doesn't like playing games with people who sabotage other players. The girl that I listened to and tried to support through everything because girls have to stick together.

Tonight I learned that she can throw a punch but can't take one. And that's not fair.

Especially when results of as die roll are a reason to guilt trip us for a YEAR, but you screwing me over is okay. No. Not anymore.

I acted like a child tonight. But I couldn't take it anymore. I have had to be mature about everything she's done long enough to where now I just can't take it anymore.
