Micro-nuts

Okay first off I dont know who's bright idea it was to take the personalities of Hannibel Lector, and Dirty Harry, and give them to a pair of transformers. Second off, I would dearly love to know why they decided that MY kitchen would be a good place to have one of thier little "discussions."
In case your wondering who im talking about here, im talking about Rampage and Depthcharge. Two members of the Zoo that Megatron felt compelled to go find when we were in the middle of the war. For some STRANGE reason, he thought that they could help. ::Rolls eyes:: Now granted most of them are pretty civil, yes even Meg's lil namesake. And at least one of them I really like, cheetor for example. Still there has to be one at every house I suppose only it seems like I got stuck with two of them.
NOw then, Rampage and Depthcharge have some history. Ramps got experimented on, went nuts and pretty much pounded DC's colony into paste, sans DC. DC got mad , chased after him and tried to kill him. Confused yet? ya me too.
Well They have supposedly came to an understanding compliments of Megatron's fusion cannon. Still they are not above the occasional verbal stab at one another, nor has there been any lack of fisticuffs between them. My dad says one more time to ruin his lawn and they are sleeping in the grage.
Well the finaly straw came this morning while mom and dad were in the process of getting ready to go pay a vist to the extended relatives. I had NO intention of going so I packed for them. I was in the middle of this when i heard the crash from the kitchen. I came in there to find, the two of them at each other's throats, and my poor bettas on the floor from where thier tanks had hit it.
"MY FISH!!"
That scream froze the whole house and I turned my glare on the two mechs in the middle of the puddle.
"What did you do to my FISH!!?"
"Ummm.." DC began. then he pointed to ramps and announced, "HE DID IT!"
Which got them going all over again.
"STOP IT!!" I screamed, "DONT MOVE!"
They stood up and stood stock still as i rescued my fish and put each of them in a glass.
"Come with me."
THey looked at the rest of the gathered Transformers with dread and followed me.
twenty minuts later I came back carrying two more glasses. Each one holding a shrunk down nut case. I remembered someone doing this to them in a fan fic and so I cribbed her idea.
A few more minuts later I had my fish back in new tanks, shatter proof one's this time. Then I decided to give each of the fish, which by the way are red and blue and named after these two yahoos, company. I stuck DC with the red fish named rampage, and Ramps witht the blue fish named Depthcharge.
"Touch the fish And i'll grind you two up for betta food! GOT IT!!"
I reviced two meek nods and headed back out of the kitchen. The ammount of laughter i heard following me tells me what they think of my solution.
I plan on letting them stay there for another day or so. When they know to behave I'll fish them out.
Needless to say, my life is interesting at least. But if this is the worst it gets, then I will have no complaints.
Rose.

Family, specifically sisters...

Rose is getting ready for work at the moment so I'm going to post on her blog.
I have tried very hard to be respectful and compassionate to her human family, since i arrived here last year. They are her family and since I love her, i have them by extension. HEr parents are basically good, if slightly odd, and sometimes thoughtless people. Her extened family leaves a lot be desiered.
And then there is Martha.
That wretched woman who was the cause of her(rose) decideing that she was better off with out me all those years ago.
The woman wanted freedom from her family so badly, that she was willing to pay any price to get it.
The price she paid was My Poor sweet Rose's peace of mind. She has for the last decade or more been causing some kind of trouble.
Currently she is sans funding, living in a cutrate motel with 4 small children. Calling up here and asking both Rose and her parents to do soemthing about it. I WOULD dearly love to do something about it, but Rose wont let me. I may be an Autobot, but even we have limits as to what we will put up with.
Rose seems resigned that the girl will show with all of her progeny in tow. She dose? I am insisting Rose and all of us move to an apartment. I will not see Rose's collections mangeled or stand by again Idly as someone has the gall to ask this girl if her sister's children mean less to her than her collections. Never again.
Hopefully this will not develope into anything more than shouting matches over the phone lines. However the chance dose remain and I will not permit it.
I may be absconding with Rose in the near futuer if it gets any worse around here.
I hope she goes away and lets us have some peace.
Sadistic aliens, evil undead dictators, frezzing cold ice planets, all of that Rose can handle with out blinking. Her sister? Is the one thing shes never been able to fight. Or rather wont fight for the sake of her family.
This time its not her choice. This time Rose has someone to fight for her.

"IT"

APB: from Sunstreaker to: all Cybertronian forces present on Earth.
To nights the 13th folks. YOu know that means at some point to night, shes gonna be watching "IT". So unless you want to be keeping Ratchet or Hook company for an indeterminate ammount of time I would stay away from Ro...

::Has laptop taken from him at this point::

VERY Funny bannana boy. Well for your information to night I wont be watching it. I'm waiting for the 20th anniversery edition and I wont be watching it until that comes out smart alec.


::Looses laptop to Megatron at this point::

Listen to the lamgorghini. Last year I made the mistake of bothering her after she watched "IT" and by the time she was done with me I had a cracked optic and two broken gaskets.

::Looses laptop as he has to run from Rose::

::Picks up abandoned laptop::
Ahem,
This is Optimus. I suppose thos who read this blog would like a bit of clarification at this point.
::Watches as Rose chases Megatron and Lambo twins with pillow::
Anyhow,
What all of this is refering too is Rose's yearly ritual of watching the Original transformers movie from the 1980s.
She has for the last five or so years conducted this.
As bad as this sounds I am forced to admit I am less than fond of this my self.
I do not enjoy watching this film. I doubt any one would like seeing a film that depticts the deaths of not only one's self, but one's closest friends.
I think it is un healthy for Rose to do this, all it seems to do to me is provoke depression. after all that has happened this year, it is something Rose, and for that matter none of us need.
So i have to say that I'm some what pleased that she will not be going through with her ritual.
NOw all i ahve to do is go hide her copy of "Dark awkening" so she wont watch that instead.
Now isn't the time to be depressing one's self. She needs to be happy, all of us do.
Take care.

DUST...

Well The vacation was wonderful.
The getting home was not.
Spending four days away from the nut balls I have for a human family was very nice.
NOT that i dont love my family, HOW EVER, there are members of it that I Dont LIKE. (and yes my bro in law is one of them, please dont get me started)
The current case in point is my grandfather. My mom's dad.
Last night he fell, and bloody well near impaled him self on a deer head.
As a concequence, now mom is in the best mood in the world.
And what dose she do when shes in a lousy mood? Fuss at my cleaning habbits. (you try shareing a room with a heard of cybertroniains and see how clean it stays!!)So now i have to do something that I have to Dust.
This means takeing down all of my dolls, all of my gundams and all umpteen of my transofrmers. NOt a fun job.
I am about three quarters of the way done and i think there's more dust on me, than there is on any of the toys.
Of course as if my day didnt stink enough. As I'm dusting i come across a picture of my ex from college.
It was almost five years to the day that I realized that it wasnt gonna work.
I realized that there were more important things to him out there than me. And that he was jealous of what i thougght at the time was just a toy.
I had never come clean and admited back then that I really DID LOVE Orion. It was just fangirlism then. I guess i cant blame the poor shcemoe for doing what he did.
But it still hurts even now. Standing there in the middle of the campus and yelling for the whole college to hear that NO MAN could ever POSSBILY live up to the ideals of that stupid TOY!
Real heros like that JUST DONT EXIST. And that I would NEVER be happy as long as I held on to my childish fantasy. And as selfish as this might sound the fight had began because I had told him that I didtn want him to and Join the army as his reaction to the september 11th tragedy made him want to. I have seen the results of war burned into my own father's flesh and blood. I wanted to be married to a man, not a name on a wall. Again that fear of loss also going back to Orion.
So though we tried to maintain it for another six months or so, eventually our relationship fell apart.
I just stand there for a long time, feather duster in one hand and photo in the other wondering about him and how he is. I wish him nothing but the best, because thats what I have. I just wish that there was someway to show or tell that it wasnt a fantasy.
I drop the photo back where I found it and go back to dusting, as I hear my mom pipe back up from down stairs and go to see what's up this time.

Vacation... All I ever wanted...

Okay so I let Orion talk me in to taking a week end off and heading for the clouds, litterally.
I wasnt expecting anything, because honestly I've never really been much for fancy stuff. When we go on family Vactions, we head for a resort full of cabins up in the high country. Quaint, and peaceful, but not the Ritz. So my eyeballs nearly hit the floor when I walk in and see this HUGE room like something out of a Sandales ad.
yes im a huge acrophobe.. so what do I do first? Go over to the blacony and stare out and gape.
Then I stop and take a look around the rest of the room.
There's a table in the middle that finally gets my attention, on it is a huge flower arrangement containing roses of every color of the rainbow and then some. I didn't even know rose's came in neon pink... I'm still in the process of gapeing when Orion finds the card and reads it.

"Have fun and enjoy your selves," the guys.
"Well now, you'd better go change," Orion tells me at this point.
I look at him like a moron, "uhh.. why?"
"Because we are going out to an opera with Darth and Kenya and then WE are going on a tour."
"Oh.. okay.."
SO i go looking for my suits. Guess what? No suits. Normaly I am not much of a dress pseron. Probally left overs from highschool where I admit , i was somewhat less than attractive. So I opted for dress suits, I have ever since. Someone had gone through my bags and gotten rid of every singel suit.
"RION!" I holler, "Where are my suits!!"
"Check the closet," is all i get for a reply.
So i poke my nose in and see what's there. what's there are some of the most beautiful evening gowns in my size i have ever laid eyes on.
"I'm not wearing these!" I try again.
"If you wanna go out you are," he tells me, "Come on you will look wonderful."
So says a guy that to get ready all he has to do is get out the polish. Grr.
I finally decide on a red one, spend another ten minuts curling and putting up m y hair. I hate that white streak, (yes i did try dye it wont work!)And finally put on some make up and head out.
I feel like a butter fly or something, I'm not much for this kind of thing.
Still I know Something must be up when I do come out and Orion's eyes get even bluer than normal.
"You need to wear red more often."
"I cant believe you did this, " I tell him.
Only to get a grin behind that mask. "Dont worry about it. you look fabulous."
A few moments later we walk out and there are the others waiting for us.
Kenya looks great, i feel like a fool.
"Stop being so insecure." Orion tells me. "You look GREAT."
All i can do is shake my head and get in to the transport as it comes. Hopfully i'll get more comfortable with this kinda clothes as it goes along. I have a feeling this is gonna happen a lot.
Rose.
P.S. The show was awsome. and i DID have a lot of fun.
Rose again.

When The Cat's away....

Hi There, This is Rodimus.

Well Rose and my father, as well as Miss Kenya and Lord Vader are out of town for a few days.
The Lambo twins and Prowl are haveing thier CCG tourny tonight. While the gestalts and the dinobots are holding a texas hold em match. Everyone else has eihter been conscripted, consigned, or agreed to help megs set up his new knick Knack.
So i basically have the house to my self. What do you do when you have this house all to yer self? Find some movies to watch on that awsome system of Rose's.
What do you need to watch movies besides her awsome system? you need a buddy.
To wit, I invited Luke over for the night.
He was in the process of going over the movies while I got snacks when I heard a strange sound from the living room.
"What?" I poked my head around the door.
He was standing there holding rose's copy of "Spaceballs" at arms length like it was radioactive.
"Do I Even WANT to know?" He asked.
"Probably not."
I go over and take it from him and hand him a soda.
"We arent going to watch this," I produce her copy of Evil Dead 1 and 2. "we'er gonna watch these"
He blinkned at me, "Why do i have a bad feeling about this?"
I grin as he plops down on the couch and go to put the first flick in.
Letcha know how this turns out folks. I cant wait to see what happens.
Roddy.

Mary-sue in the clouds(NOT)

This is Optimus recording in Rose's blog for the moment. She is occupied oggleing the view from our balcony.
I would like to take this entry to defend both Roseprincess1 as Well as Kenya Starflight against the title of "mary-sue".
As i understand it this type of character is a sterotypical, perfect little angel who never makes mistakes, never grows a personality, and needs her male to even tie her shoes.
Both of these girls are as far from this as possible, they are far from timid. Mary-sue's have never tried to highjack a star crusier or fling them self off of a dragon over boiling lava to get to the man they cared for.
Neither are they perfect, far from it. I cannot speak for my friend but I DO speak for my self when i say that perfection would be utterly BOREING. I love Rose for who she is.
And yes both of them needed saving, but that wasnt thier fault. Unfortunately the easiest way to get to a person is to hurt some one they love. It didnt have to be the girls, it could have been any number of people. If anything that proves they are just that much more real people, that they have weaknesses and need some one.

No they are not Mary-sue's.
They are extraordinary young women who love with all they are and give all they have. So Please give it a rest with the Mary-sue cracks. Its getting insulting.
As for what else is going on, I think Rose is enjoying her self despite her fussing.
We have several more days here, hopfully she will enjoy that too.
