Well, I now have a job lined up and a roommate moving in starting tonight. I also have three papers due next week. I'm a little bit stressed, and I'm not sure how to calm down. Besides cleaning and exercising that is. Deep breaths, self, deep breaths!

I also picked up Nano this year! Did anyone else? I'm like, four days behind D: For a while I just couldn't concentrate on anything, and I barely wrote. This cold weather just makes me want to curl up in bed and do nothing. Bah!

Anyway, could be so much worse. Dark Forces is keeping me sane. How are you folks?

I'm also enjoying the fuck out of spn_gossip. The latest is that their prophet, the holy gossip columnist Ted Casablanca, has updated a blind item saga that was previously thought to be about our dear ones - Jared Potatolatke and Jensen Quackles. But shock! horror! gasp! it suddenly doesn't seem to be about them. Sacre bleu!

I know, Gaga, I am also amazed. But since Casablanca's writing makes very little sense, I'll explain. Wait, no, it is too long to explain. Let me sum up: SPN anons think Judas Jack-Off, star of a couple of Casablanca's blind items, is Jared. They also think Dashed Dingle-Dream (what did the English language ever do to Casablancas?), the spurned bf that Judas ditched so he could pretend to be straight, is Jensen. Naturally. Here, let their reference guide explain it to you. (Yes! A reference guide!)

Anyway, they've been freaking out all morning since Casablanca said via his Twitter theawfultruth yesterday that he would update another edition to the Judas and Dashed story, which he did! Alas, no one thinks Jared would go skydiving - and how quickly they turn:

It's not Jared and FUCK YOU TED for keeping us guessing for months!

FUCK TED honestly, he was totally pandering to fandom like other people said. What a douche.

Of course, some still believe.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I still don't think this is a not to Jared. If it was that blatantly obvious, I think Ted would have NOTted him at the bottom.

The references to flying: well, Jared has been spotted in LA and NY so he's been flying a lot lately, Y/Y?

The 2012 movie reference could be a reference to the end of the world and thus a reference to the apocalypse on SPN.

"He's been flying a lot recently..." I am dying. SOMETIMES HE FLIES AND THEN, HE JUMPS OUT! BECAUSE FLYING COACH IS JUST LIKE SKYDIVING

But how can they doubt the blind items? The Sacred Text of the J2 relationship? Why would their prophet, Ted, deceive them? It must be the Gods themselves that are deceiving them! Testing their faith! Or hiding their gay! Jensen and Jared are screwing with Ted's psychic readings!

You know like mabe Jensen and Jared were 99% who their mole was and they spun this story to see what the person would do.

This story is SO out there it seems like something, no offense, Jensen and Jared would come up with.

Oh, THOSE BOYS. Skydiving! That's SO out there! Why, thinking they're fucking and their girlfriends are beards or lesbian beards or evil whores black-mailing them into marriage or just doing it for press and the money because CW stars make a lot of money and they were getting gay-married in CANADA THE LAND OF THE FREE AND MAPLE SYRUP BUT NOT FREE MAPLE SYRUP and you know their clothes match sometimes and so on and so forth - why, yes! That's much more plausible than skydiving. That is not out there at all. That is a perfectly logical, well thought-out theory.

And then it continues on next page... is Judas actually - dun dun dun - JENSEN? Who knows! Honorable mentions include "I'M A HAPPY TINHATTER AND I'M OKAY," "He's not just closeted... He's a MURDERER," and "double wedding lolz." And, of course, PANIC SORROW SUSPICION.

God bless the tinhats. All I'm left to wonder is, with Casablanca calling women dogs and joking about throwing them off planes... did he hate his mommy a lot or has SPN just seeped into his brain? Someone get MYSTERY-SOLVING TEENS on the case!

Chocolate with nuts is the best chocolate.

Chocolate with fruit is an abomination.

Chocolate with peanut butter is good if it's Oreos concerned.

Chocolate, just chocolate, is boring and worse if it's Hersey.

Also, Baloo and Louie are clearly otp in Jungle Book. If only they were not a bear and an orangutan.

(chocolate/caramel is good too)

Sup, flist! It's been a while. How's it going?

Well, my parents came up this weekend so my Dad and I could "talk" our problems out. It was hellish and horrific.

A few weeks ago I found some old Harry Potter fanfic I wrote before the 6th book came out. So that would make it... 4 or so years old? yeah. And it's not that good, but it made me laugh so I'm posting it here. And no, I don't remember what the plot was, besides there was a Mary Sue (DiGald character) and she was hunting the creature that was after Hermione? And it was Harry/Susan Bones. I think. Idk. This bit's only seven pages long, and I'm pretty sure I never actually wrote the rest.

Prepare yourself for Harry angst!

Yeah... I hope those author notes were not supposed to be for other people. o noes foreshadowing.

Hagrid's present was Sirius' motorcycle :] i do remember that.

Oh, yes, and I had written a part about the yo-yo. It's a Portkey that takes them to secret areas based on where the string is put and whether there's a full moon, or something. They use it in the basement of Riddle's old orphanage. Oh, and it transports them through time! Why, I don't remember, but there was a Quest for a large part of the outline. And Crookshanks helps them figure out mysteries! Because he's part Kniffle or whatever that treasure-seeking animal is. Reading this again, I think it was probably a sort of nifty fanfic. But weird.

And Ron was reading Dark Arts stuff that was delivered to him by a strange benefactor. But Ron isn't evil! He just wanted to help Harry :( I know, it's awful.

So I've kind of had a bad week with my laptop. As of now, it's serving as a paper weight/writing desk. I can't remember exactly when it started failing, but it's been a problem for a while now. I figure it was overheating, which was why it was turning itself off at random moments. Then I would get kernal_inpage_error, or another blue screen. Anyway, I recently decided I'd just wipe the thing and hope that everything would improve. Besides having difficulty finding Admin passwords and OS disks, this went seemingly well. I mean, it was that or not use my computer at all, since it wouldn't get past the load-up screen. So all my data got deleted, which was fine with me. I mean, I had almost beat Doom 2 and I won't be able to get all my music back, but whatever.

I was hoping, however, that my computer then would run so much better. Unfortunately, no. It seemed ok for a day or so, then started having this "unmountable boot volume" problem, and I was like 'great' and tried to fix it. Sadly, it refused to fix itself, shut down each time I tried to repair it, and then, at last, it just refused to even turn on. So I think my laptop was very depressed and just wanted to end it all.

Therefore, I am at the library. And this time around, I had only done a little bit of writing on it, and I'm actually going to be annoyed if I lose that stuff. Even if it was only a little bit.

Also, classes start Monday. The loan isn't going to be as much as I thought, so I decided to drop a class and put myself on the "Be my Roommate!" list to make ends meet. I do have an empty bedroom, but still. Ugh. Do not want. And I am still in need of a job :(

I can't wait to go to bed tonight. Oh, that reminds me - my new neighbor blasts Eminem or some other shitty ass music all day. Oh my god, I want to kill him. It's fine in the day, though annoying, but when you start it up at nine pm and then keep that shit going after I ask you to turn it down at 11:15 pm? Jackass. I don't even care if I'm not studying and term hasn't started yet. It's fucking annoying.

Ugh I hate so many things going on in my life right now. My dog has a torn ligament too, and I just found out yesterday my grandmother threw out her back. When it rains, it pours. :[

On another note, does anyone know of any writing contests/thingies going on? :D? :D? I was going to do the Samhain one, but I missed it.

I also spent the day reading, which was really nice. I reread Jingo and now I'm nearly done with Misery.

I've been meaning to update for a while now, but I kept forgetting. I'm good; I have a new apartment that I'm moving into today, so hopefully the next time I get on the internet it will be from there. Still on the outs with my dad but meh. Semester starts Monday. My bday's on Sunday. So I have that to look forward to. I can have pets at my new place so I'm hoping to get a cat and/or some hermit crabs. That, or I will steal my friend's adorable Blue Persian that is currently curled up on my lap, clawing me idly. Oh, funny face!

How are you folks?

OMG!

2009-05-17T20:47:31Z

My computer nearly died there! It's been behaving badly lately. It likes to turn off and refuse to turn back on until I switched out the battery.

Last night it pulled the same trick, and I took out the battery, put it back in, and somehow jammed the thing in there and the release switch got stuck. And the bloody laptop still wouldn't turn on.

So just now my dad took the thing apart and was able to unstick the battery. He thinks it's been doing this because the laptop overheats and then shuts off to save itself. Which is believable enough, since I'm always on this thing.

We've started putting primer on the room, but I still haven't really picked a color, so I got some samples. It's nice here, but kind of chilly.

Oh, and my mom found out I smoke sometimes with my friends. We had a huge screaming match about it. Awesome.

So.

2009-05-16T22:49:47Z

We've been renovating my room lately. The drywalling is done and now we have to prime, paint and then get the new carpeting in. We've decided on this shag carpet that's mostly white with some darker specks in it, and something purplish or blueish for paint (they're Majestic Mount, Violet Shadow, Fading Sunset and Ash Violet, if you want to play around with the Explore Color feature on Bher's site, but the colors don't come out right on my computer - the last two are more purple, for example). Ash Violet looks bad under yellow light, so I'll probably go with Majestic Mount, though my mother would prefer a lighter color. I dunno! We also have the trim to deal with, which is the fake wood type I hate, and I'd love to paint it white but with my ceiling also white my mother is not too keen on the idea. It would still look bad.

I miss my bed though. I've been staying in my sister's old room (she now lives an hour or so away with her BF) and while it's surprisingly cozy for being much smaller than my room, the bed's mattress is quite inferior to my own!

Also, you've probably heard what David Axelrod said about Miss California. Bah. I wrote my first ever letter to a public official last night because I was so mad. What a dick.

I have been working on a submission for this, and I really enjoy writing it so far \o/

I just realized I spend way too much of my time on the internet going to places that make me angry or bored. I need some more happy-making haunts. And Nikki/Jessica stuff. Like, maybe a new layout. Oh, Heroes, sometimes I miss you so much.

In looking through my old entries for Jessica icons I was reminded I deleted this journal once. That was so stupid. And then I privatized a bunch of entries for some bizarre reason. I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting to accomplish with that! What, no one was supposed to read my entries on my deleted journal? Rotten_fish so silly. So dramatic.

lol watchmenkink hate box_in_the_box! FW y/n?

Speaking of people I hate, I've started listening to On a Pale Horse by Piers Anthony. And holy crap, it's sexist. Every woman is first described for her looks and then whether or not the main character (I would not presume the author, but frankly that is what I am thinking in my heart of hearts) would have sex with her. I just stopped reading at one part where this lady says earnestedly, "I can't help being emotional! I'm a girl!" and I'm like, hmm, no. That's enough. And the writing is not that good. It repeats itself too much for me to think the reader is just accidentally saying sentences twice. But at the same time, I want to keep reading because I like Grim Reaper stories.

If you've never heard of it, it's apparently about this guy Zane who takes over the Grim Reaper position and takes people to the afterlife. Beyond not meshing with my own religious point of view (vis a vis: suicide, in particular), it also mixes science and magic with hilarious, but not particularly interesting or imaginative results. So beyond sexism and bad writing, the world-building is 'eh' as well. Anyway, I have nothing to read right now, and like I said, I like these types of stories. I like the idea of people taking over particular otherworldly functions that are at the same time very, very mundane. I mean, the Death ones are cliche by now (nobody wants to be Father Time, I guess), but I still like reading them.

but. lol sexism. and lol bad writing :\ So I'm not sure if I should keep reading. Has anyone read it? Does it get better?

In other news, I had like fifty goddamn viruses on my computer. Not that Conficker business, but a bunch of Trojan horses on a "Logic Bomb" or wtfever. But hopefully they are gone now.

Alas, my copy of Diablo 2 had to be sacrificed, and I hadn't even gotten to the third chapter. :'( Now I am without a computer game :(

Go see it!

It's very funny and cute, and though it's not a laugh-a-minute, nor has a very interesting plot, it's fast, has good characters, and... has a totally awesome main character who is female!

Susan = ♥. I also really liked Missing Link and Insectosaurus' friendship, but the point about Susan's relationship with the other characters, was that they all respected and liked her (okay, there was one 'lol, Missing Link, you got shown up by a girl' but I'm ignoring that), and it wasn't like, "Oh, Susan, you weakling" or "Oh, Susan, you're just overreacting about Derek," and when Derek broke up with Susan, the movie's writers weren't like, "Okay, we have no romantic interest for our female character now! Pair her off with SOMEBODY!"

And Susan saved her friends, they saved her, she saved them, so they had a nice pattern going, and the female character wasn't the constant DID! Because, you know, lots of times movies will put in a 'badass' female character, and yet said badass gets her ass saved by the guys all the time. And she was the main character, let me repeat. She had the most background, and the most screen time, and she beat the villain pretty much by herself. YES!

And her character, in general, was an average woman, but she really was a strong female character, plot-wise, and her personality itself. But she was still average. And I think that's important, because once she realizes she can do something, she does it, like in fighting the robot. And even though she ran away first (and the others were totally understanding about, and not all 'ha ha, silly terrified woman!'), she immediately was like, "I have to save these people!" on the bridge. BORN HERO, I'm saying here! And the idea that an average chick (personality-wise, I should point out) can still be a Strong Female Character, without having her be a Mary Sue (IF ANYONE CALLS SUSAN A SUE I WILL END THEM) or something like Frank Miller's version of Wonder Woman, is something really important and nice to see. Susan was realistic, the other two not so much.

Also, there was a cute minor moment when the robot first lands and a girl (Kelly? I'm not sure) tries to score with her reluctant bf and then carries him up the hill to see whatever crashed. So that's -

1. Women can like sex.
2. Women can be adventurous.
3. Women can be strong enough to carry their bf up a hill.

ALL IN A KIDS' MOVIE :D :D :D :D

And the reason that she was carrying him up the hill is because he fell and twisted his ankle, the classic fumble a girl makes in a movie while running from a monster!

So, while not a perfect movie, this was an unexpected gem. And for a kids' movie, when I've been raised on the Disney 'true love or die' princess movies, or the Pixar 'where are all the female leads?' movies, it was so heart-warming to see.

GO SEE IT. It's also very, very funny at parts, and had enough action that I wasn't bored. My favorite joke was Missing Link's one about Al Gore, or Bob's thing with Derek, which I won't explain because YOU MUST SEE IT FOR YOURSELF.

GO!!!

Finished! Now I can retire to the casbah with beer and cake.

(Is this an odd combination? For me it is delicious)

Gifts went down great. Guests helped with the decorations and they looked snazzy. I made a funny hat for him to wear and a lei. I wish more of his coworkers had come but oh well. Poor cat was terrified of all the strange people in his house.

All in all it was a success and the sushi was delicious. I'm also really bonding with my cousin, which is pretty awesome and a little weird.

The only bad thing about my new bed is the sheets are kind of harsh on my legs. Because they haven't been washed, I guess. And last night I had this weird dream. I dreamt that I was a writer and I was starting to realize my characters were seeping into the real world and trying to pull me into the ground. And for some reason it was like Coraline. Like I was the dad, and my daughter, Coraline, was telling me that words had disappeared off my books or something. There was something evil in the walls. And freakiest thing, when I woke up I felt something tugging my sheets down into the crack between the wall and my bed. Obviously just the dream but, man, that scared me.

Anyway: :D = tonight

2009-03-13T02:42:17Z

I stimulated the economy so hard today. Gotta buy those decorations for my dad's bday.

I'm probably the only one who watches Fox News on my flist (and I don't do it willingly), so I have to ask: is any other station calling these people ripped off by the Madoff dude 'victims'? It kind of pisses me off. Since I was also watching Fox News then, I'm pretty sure they never called the so-called poor people who lost their homes at the beginning of the crash 'victims.' I even remember them being name-dropping minorities in their blame game.

So people all over the country lose their jobs or their health insurance or their pension or inflation becomes to much or maybe some other fucker like Madoff takes them for a ride, and they lose their home because they can no longer pay for it. This is packaged as 'they bought houses they couldn't afford and the bank screwed them over.' They aren't labeled 'victims.' They're just stupid poor people (who are probably minorities) who dared to want to own their own home.

Why aren't these Madoff people being called idiots? Is it because a relatively small group of people were fucked by a "conspiracy" that was carried on the shoulders of one man? Or that they go the tv and make sad faces? Aren't they idiots for not seeing through Madoff's plot? Isn't that Libertarian thinking? "You weren't prepared for natural disasters, fuck you! You weren't prepared for your investor theiving your money, tough titties! You weren't prepared to lose your job or your insurance refusing to cover your cancer treatment, guess you should have put your money in Canadian banks! Fucking sorry!"

Honestly, I have nothing against those people. It sucks. But it just annoys me that this is AN OUTRAGE and so many people are so poor they don't even get a chance to invest shit. It's only a tragedy when the rich lose their money. The poor are just poor.

The news emerged as Hector Sants, the chief executive of the Financial Services Authority (FSA), warned the City to be "frightened" as he pledged an era of more intrusive and direct regulation.

Mr Sants said the City watchdog would move away from a box-ticking culture in a "fundamental" change in its philosophy.

He added: "There is a view that people are not frightened of the FSA. I can assure you this is a view that I am determined to correct – people should be very frightened of the FSA." - BBC

Oh, and they didn't have enough REGULATIONS. Golly, goverment regulations were piss poor and missed this huge scandal! THAT'S SO FUCKING FUNNY. Who thinks we didn't need more regulations? WHO? Maybe we can blame them for this going on so long!

Anyway. It just infuriates me, the word. Victim. Ugh.

Also on the 'shit pissing me off' list: Hayter the hater. AKA Watchmen movie's scriptwriter. He wants Watchmen to rape and mutilate you. And you know you like it.

All this time, you’ve been waiting for a director who was going to hit you in the face with this story. To just crack you in the jaw, and then bend you over the pool table with this story. With its utterly raw view of the darkest sides of human nature, expressed through its masks of action and beauty and twisted good intentions. Like a fry-basket full of hot grease in the face. Like the Comedian on the Grassy Knoll. I know, I know...

You say you don't like it. You say you've got issues. I get it.

And yet... You'll be thinking about this film, down the road. It'll nag at you. How it was rough and beautiful. How it went where it wanted to go, and you just hung on. How it was thoughtful and hateful and bleak and hilarious. And for Jackie Earle Haley.

Trust me. You'll come back, eventually. Just like Sally.

Don't be such a whiny cunt, Hayter. Your dialogue was shit and you should feel like shit. It's not our fault YOUR MOVIE SUCKED.

Oh, and 'just like Sally'? Oh, ha ha, SHE WENT BACK TO HER RAPIST. HA HA HA HA. That's soooooooooooooooooo funny. You're like so witty and edgy and oh my god i want to be just like you when i grow up durrrr de durp durp durp

FUCK YOU, GUY!

May your balls wither and die.

Also, this? I'm talking to the Snake fans. LOL DESPERATE FOR A PITY FUCK!HAYTER. I'M SORRY NO ONE CARES :(

And I'm not saying I ever liked the parts in Watchmen that had to do with Sally/Comedian, and omgzzz the movie just fucked it or Hayter is hayter I hayte very muych. I didn't. I fucking hate it. I don't like Alan Moore for it, or any of his other weird, disturbing issues with sex and women. The funny thing is in one interview with him he's like, "I meant Rorschach to be disliked and freaky, but so many people come up to me like I AM RORSCHACH!!! and I'm like, omg whoa. Because, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, I forgotten that to many comics fans smelling and not having a girlfriend is actually cool!" Yeah, right, Moore, you are Rorschach and all his freaky ass issues with sex and violence. Seriously, though, everytime I get the part where Sally kisses the picture of the Comedian I start yelling, "No! No! NO! NO!" And Lost Girls is just fucking OUT THERE. Dude's got problems.

The difference here is Moore is a good writer that didn't write this metaphor, and Hayter is a bad writer and did. You're glib, David, you're glib, and you are not JEH's pimp. Stop whoring him out because he, unlike you, was actually good at his job. Unless you are JEH's pimp. If you are: how much?

Anyway, what a prick. NOW I WILL NEVER SEE WATCHMEN AGAAAAAAAIN. OH HOW I SHALL MISS THE GIANT BLUE PENIS. I LOVED HIM MOST OF ALL T_______________T AND HOW WILL I LIVE WITHOUT THE SLOW MOTION IN MY LIFE??? SSSSSLLLLLLLLOOOOOO--------MMMMMMOOOOOOOO TTTTTTTEEEEEEAAAAARRRRRRSSSSSS *crotch punch*

Also I had this really freaking awesome dream a few nights ago. I won't go into it because it was so dorky and silly, but I will say it featured Garcia from CM, Duck from the Magical Incestuous Adventures of Duck And Potato, and the voice of Burnie Burns, who made Red vs Blue happen, and also voices Church. I'm such a dork.

(but seriously, it kicked ass and you all should be jealous)

(also now I am thinking about what it would be like to rape Jackie Earl Haley. Well played, David Hayter, well played)

So I've been kind of busy lately, which is weird for me. And all my free time I've pretty much dedicated to watching all the Red Vs Blue episodes I missed, which, as it turns out, was a lot. I've found that despite all the problems I have with it, I still love it and find it really funny and I loved Reconstruction a lot. Also I think I got the quote wrong in my icon. But whatever.

Oh, and I saw Watchmen Thursday. It was... I dunno, I'm starting to think I read the comic book wrong and it really was supposed to be hilariously cheesy and campy all the time. I was kind of bummed with the changes they made to the ending. And all the additions they had to make the film more "topical." Plus the script was a lot like the crappy old version that people linked around on the internet. All in all, I really don't feel Jackie Earl Haley was right when he said Snyder was dedicated to portraying the comic book as closely as possible. Eh. JEH was good as Rorschach though.

Oh, and I went rollarblading with my bff last week and I still have the bruises from doing some epic pratfalls. Go me!

Whoa, how many times are you going to reply defensively there, bucko?

I thought the new Doctor was going to be black. This Smith guy looks more like a foot than that Edward Cullen actor.

This has been a rather bad few days for me. On New Year's Day, feeding the dog, I pulled a neck muscle that still has a twinge now, and then drove two hours and a day early to my sister's place to help her bake a wedding cake for her bff.

Which meant no one was set to feed the dog and cat that evening and the following morning, as my parents were off in New Hampshire visiting relatives. And even though it was my own stupid fault and even though it was easily taken care of, I really wish somebody had said, "Wait. Why are you going to your sister's today?" because apparently everybody realized this except me, but when I (accidentally) changed the plan, they just accepted it in due course.

The next few days of making the wedding cake and the groom's cake were no issue, but then on Saturday night, just hours after getting home, I started vomiting everywhere and didn't stop until yesterday evening. My sister's bff's family all had the flu a few days before.

So, yeah, it could have been worse. I can be thankful that it wasn't my wedding that I was barfing around (the bride delayed her bachelorette party because she was so sick), and that I also wasn't barfing at my sister's place while we were making the cake.

But it still kind of blew as far as the first days of the New Year, yanno?

Also I didn't get laid and I bet I could have. Even with my inability to move my head to the left without horrible pain.
