Okay. So we know the Dollhouse finale made my brain short out in huge, sporadic bursts. Star Trek? Imagine two hours and six minutes of nearly uncontrollable squee. Like rapid-fire fangiggles. I was literally stuffing my fist down my throat to keep from giggling. And here is why:


( If I were Spock, I would say that staying up late to write this is illogical. But then again, *fangirling* is illogical, my pointy-eared friend. )

So... To be honest, I think that was the first movie I've ever watched that every time I sort of snapped out of it a little, all that was going through my head was, "This is so awesoooooome..." That, and giggling. Have I mentioned the gigglefest that I had on the way home? Because there was one. And just so much giggling. I think it's in my top five favorite movies, with Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, the Harry Potter movies, and Pride and Prejudice. (Though Finding Nemo is pretty high up there too.)

All in all, Spock has moved up to #5 on the List. Really. He beat out Diego and Remus. Just barely, but he did. I know, I know. "Are you out of your Vulcan mind?"

So, I was sitting on the windowsill by the bench in the hall this morning, and I wasn't really talking to anyone since most everyone is in Italy for the band/chorus trip. So I'm trying to study and I'm looking up briefly, and all the sudden I see this girl walking past me with a giant plush Companion Cube under her arm. I'm speechless for a second, but she's already walking away, so I jump up and burst out with a, "OH MY GOD IS THAT A COMPANION CUBE!?!?" She barely even turns around, and sticks her thumb up like, "You bet!" And keeps walking.stella_muse turns to me, wide-eyed, and says, "Wow. You... You kinda screamed at her." And of course I look up to see several people looking at me funny. It was the pinnacle of dorkiness, and secretly, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Now I havelyricalecho looking out for Eli!Snape too. But I was in Math class, and somehow we got talking about how kids are wearing those huge headphones now, and I kinda laughed and mentioned to Rachel, "Yeah, there's this freshman who practically has those glued to his head. My friends and I call him Snape!kid." And she laughs too and says, "Hey, are you talking about Eli?" And I'm like, "YES, OMG, I'M NOT INSANE." So I hesitantly asked her if he was an okay kid and stuff, and not a jerk, and she said that he was totally nice, but sort of quiet and stuff. Also, they're apparently really good friends, since she was telling me how he, and I quote, "Totally kicked my ass in Super Smash Brothers. He beat me sixteen times- I counted. But he was kinda nice about it, since he didn't make fun of me or anything. He was just kinda smug." You have no idea how young!videogamenerd!Snape makes me giggle. You know, with the Xbox headset and everything? =DDD <333

ECHO, ECHO, MY GIFT FOR YOUR BRITHDAY IS ALL SET OMG~

Hey, speaking of Monty Python, I was in French today and since it was right before vacation, we were playing this tag game where you can only be tagged if you're not sitting on a desk. Mr. Quadros, looking ridiculous with his terrorist beard and 12 year-old attire, pointed out that it's only fun if you run around and taunt them a little bit, which then led us to shout many a French Taunt. "YOU SILLY ARTHUR-KING!"

AND LASTLY. The newest Half-Blood Prince trailer? Wow. Just... Oh my GOD. I'm sort of glad that they're finally addressing the Draco thing and, you know, giving him some kind of backbone. Also, I'm very happy to see the Sectumsempra scene, which means we get to see Snape's mad healing skillz (even though I think that it would be pretty awesome anyway. My question is how they're going to do that while staying in the PG rating, which is stupid anyway.) I am wondering though, what the deal is with this new thing at the Burrow, which, while I'm super excited to see a little Remus action, I'm not sure what we're giving up in exchange.

I suppose my biggest concern is this: Snape seems really chillax in the Flight of the Prince, whereas someone on Snapecast quoted him as being, “. .demented, inhuman, as though he was in as much pain as the yelping, howling dog stuck in the burning house behind them-” To be honest, I'm thinking Malfoy's expression was fairly fitting. (Although, to be honest, I sort of knew this would happen with Alan Rickman. I do love him to pieces, and he's a wonderful actor, but when it come to intensely emotional scenes... It's just not his forte.)

Otherwise, Katie Bell's issues were fairly creepy-looking, though I felt better with that familiar [nancy-boy] shot of Luna [I love so much.] Also... Oh, the ickle!Voldie thing. I'm glad we got some new footage of that, 'cause it's been mostly the same clips up until this point.

Right, I forgot to mention. That one line that Snape gets? "It's over." It's kind of intense and awesome. And also that shot of his [not]dueling with Harry, when it pans back really far... That is an amazing shot there, and perfect for making neat avatars.

AHAHAHAHA- Oh, S#%@ I don't feel like waiting until July.
 

The title, of course, is referring to the essay that Beeks made us write. "Write about someone you know who had something really horrible happen to them, that changed their life and made them miserable. Don't write about anything happy. Make it as personal and as painful to write as you can. Make sure to angst as you write it." 

I made something up.

I finished Portal this weekend, and it has most certainly been added to my Top 3 Games list, which now includes Portal, Phoenix Wright, and Legend of Zelda: TP, in no particular order. But honestly, I love GLaDOS more than I should. "That thing is probably a raw sewage containment unit. So just go ahead and rub your face all over it." Also, I'm going to start saying, "NO WAI." Aaaand... Oh. The Curiosity Cube is my absolute favorite, even more than the turrets. "Who are you? What is that? Ooh, what's in here? Hey, look at that thing! No, the other thing! Ooh, that thing has numbers on it! Hey, you're that lady from the test! HI! Where are you going? Eeew! What's wrong with your legs!? Do you smell something burning?"

And unfortunately, I actually quoted the snarky computer  in reference to my dad, saying, "Helloooooo~? THAT'S YOU. THAT'S HOW DUMB YOU SOUND." Looking back, that was nooooot the smartest thing to do. Then again, he also didn't take it seriously, "so that's funny too."

There are so many things about the latest Dollhouse episode, that I would hardly bother to write them all down here. Simply: Sierra/Victor FTW. November breaks my heart. Sierra's backstory is also really awful, though, and I mean that in the sense that it's well-written, just really, really horrible. Echo/Caroline is awesome, but still not my favorite, even though the scene with Topher was amazing (aslyricalecho so enthusiastically points out.) Paul is sexy but insane. Unless that's just his dreams. THOSE ARE TOTALLY CRACK!DREAMS, HE'S NOT CRAZY. (And [lyrical]Echo, dear, I told you he had a thing for Caroline in particular.) But why don't I like that? It just seems wrong. Lastly, Topher, being afraid of the dark, and I honestly can't help but see him as just "the science guy," like maybe [lyrical]Echo when she grows up to be a supervillain.

Oh, hey, I was English today and I as was dumping my stuff on the back counter, I heard two generally non-dorky girls (though not quite the sporty/jock type) say something along the lines of, "Oh, yeah, I can't believe Angel came back and apologized!" And I figured since there is a guy in my grade named as such, I should ignore it. But then Molly was like, "Oh, man! Buffy was great in that scene!" After which I homed in and was all, "Uh... What are you talking about?" They muttered an ashamed, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," and I was like, "OMG YOU GUYS 
ARE MY NEW FAVORITE PEOPLE." It was pretty awesome, and since they're only a little ahead of me, we would have fangirled more, but then Beeks came in. Frickety frick on a buscuit. 

Ok, so it turns out Eli!Snape has an art class at the same time, as me, but across the hall. Since my class gets out earlier, and I sometimes poke in to say hi to Ms. Colotti, I ended up seeing him in there. They're doing the horrible 'clay head' project, and Eli!Snape was holding his up to the light, and I've never seen a kid look at his art so thoughtfully (with the contemplative hand-to-his-chin gesture and everything.) This spawned many mental images of artistic!Snape, all of which made me giggle inside all the way down to lunch. It also made me think of that Bones clip I saw of Booth with his little clay horse? Was that what it was? I think so. XD *AWW*

I did my audition for All Together Now, and I sang Penny's Song. It went something like, "-and every day of rain brings water flowing to things growing in the gr-OW OW OH GOD MY VOICE CRACKED OW-nd~" It was sort of painful, but at least I can't get cut. XD

I have other things to discuss later, but I don't have time at the moment. (Stupid Essex County Project I hate you.)

(And BTW? So, there wasn't an April Fool's post. April Fools! =DDDDD)
