"Why I Oughtta..."

  • Sep. 7th, 2009 at 9:18 AM
SLAAAADE

This is why I like being at my dad's without Andrew. We get to do a whole mess of awesome things.

So basically, we watched Silent Hill, and then yesterday I saw the Hellboy 2 disc in the computer room, and I was all, "Oh, we should watch that" because *psht* it's Hellboy, geez. But he hadn't seen the first one, apparently, and he didn't have it, but George did, so we went to call him up. So we basically went on a joint shopping trip to Best Buy, because I guess he needed to get one of those fancy calculators for Caroline, and while we were there... :3 Well we also picked up the Dollhouse DVD and PROFESSOR LAYTON 2, OH WHAT NOW~

I know Echo's copy has a waiting list, so I figured I would get my own and not plug up the works with my procrastination. I'M SO PUMPED.

Phoenix Wright spoilers ahead! Abbey, this applies to pretty much you. )

A word to the wise: PLAY THE PHOENIX WRIGHT GAMES IN ORDER.

Anyway, I noticed something interesting. When talking to each other, half the things that come out of either George's or my dad's mouth are quotes from something, or some kind of fandom reference. They pretty much share the same fandoms, because if George finds something awesome, he shows it to my dad, and my dad thinks it's awesome, and vice versa. They've been best friends since elementary school, and met through some fandom-related happenstance. When they were younger they totally invaded each others houses and played whichever video game the other one didn't have, particularly some game called Arctic Fox that I'm most certainly not connecting to a Shadow Moses thing at all, and in that way trying to compare the two of them with Echo and I and what what are you talking about. 

So we went over their house and Caroline had a friend over, who was apparently a Harry Potter fan. I always ask, "Who is your favorite character?" because that's how you determine what kind of HP fan a person is. Nearly everyone at camp was like, "Oh, I love Ron!" or "Hermione's really awesome!" Julia kind of shrugged and was like, "Well, I really like Remus Lupin..." And I gave her a giant high five and giggled like a maniac. Of course then she goes, "But sometimes I can't decide. I really like Snape too..." And then I couldn't give her a high five because I had passed out.

So she was a really big Owl City fan too, (Echo's already seen it, but here's their music video for Fireflies, which is the best song ever) and it seems that they're playing in Boston on the 18th. I don't know if I can go, but it would still be cool. =DDD

Apparently George has seen Silent Hill, and he was at a loss as to how I didn't find it the most frightening thing ever. So I explained the game parallels, and what they did, and at which parts I giggles, while George left is mouth open in awe, and his wife looked on disapprovingly. :3 He says, "But what about when the Pyramid guy ripped that lady's skin off!?" I said, "LOL  PYRAMIDHEAD DEFIES THE LAWS OF PHYSIOLOGY!" And then we started talking about Phantasmagoria, and don't get me started on that.

So we ordered Chinese food omnomnom and went downstairs to play old Three Stooges video games. Also, George proudly displayed his original Legend of Zelda game pack, and I was impressed as usual. (I mean, his house is like a video game museum or something; it's freaking awesome.) Also he has an old record player that's just amazing and gorgeous, and if I ever win the lottery I am going to find one somewhere and buy it.

After that, we watched this comedian act that was pretty funny, even though I fell asleep, per the usual. :3

So anyway, I finished up a bunch of my homework, so I can watch Hellboy with my dad and play PROFESSOR LAYTON OMG. I've started it, but only through the first few puzzles. But awww, emo!Layton, with his hat over his eyes and aw Layton do you need a Luke!hug~~~?

Edit: This is what happens when we visit George. I end up with loads and loads of tags. X3

GREEN BEANS, THEY ARE GREEN BEANS~

[info]lyricalecho and I watched seven episodes of Buffy in less than 24 hours. It went: three episodes, SNL, sleep, one episode, breakfast, a walk (haha!) and then three more episodes. God, the finale was so amazing. Just... Ahhhhhh~ I loved all those episodes to pieces, I wouldn't even know where to start.

What I did start, however, was singing the Buffy theme more like, "GREEN BEANS, THEY ARE GREEN BEANS, THEY ARE GOOD FOR YOU, BECAUSE THEY'RE GREEN BEANS~"

I believe there was a bit of my summer!fluff!fic that describes Young Snape: "Instead, he merely wiped his forehead on the short sleeve of his favorite t-shirt: a worn blue Beatles one that his mother had gotten him for Christmas." I was after school on Wednesday and I saw Eli, AKA: Young Snape, and what was he wearing but the same short-sleeved blue Beatles t-shirt. (With the Yellow Submarine logo, actually.) It was awesome. And, I mean, he had the falling-apart converse sneakers, and the oversized, clunky headphones, and... =DDD Also, I heard him talk for the first time, and his voice is alot lower than I thought it would be. Actually, I know seniors whose voices aren't even that low. Do you think Snape grew into the deep AR!Snape voice that early on? (Because the AR!voice is totally canon, guys.)

I had a China meeting yesterday, and Beekley jokes abounded. Unfortunately, Mum found it fit to stay after and ask something along the lines of what would happen if I got certain female afflictions during the trip. I let this go for a bit, I was good, I swear, and then they wouldn't stop. (I don't care if China has CVS, okay!?) For gorram sake's, my mother is discussing my period with the Beek-Beast! After this, I am going to chase it from my mind. It never happened.

Also? Ms. Li? Mum said she was so cute, she would love to just 'eat her up with a spoon.' At least she's not cutting out her heart with it. XD "Because it hurts more, you twit!"

[info]chevy_the_geek has this tendency to sneeze multiple times in a row. Like, five, six, seven times. (The record is eight.) What else could an attack like that be but a SNEEZE-URE!? AHAHAHAHAHAHA~ *sigh*

Holy crap. Yahoo blogging stole the [info]zarla cake! I'm appalled! http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/parenting/itty-bitty-bites-colorful-rainbow-cake-will-blow-your-kids-away-432155/

Aspeaking of Zarla, is it bad that when I'm in Bio, learning about the different flower parts, I want to get up and sing, "BUT IT'S ALL CALLED STIGMAAAAA~!"

I forgot my history book, so I'm going to have to do extra work to get this paragraph/essay thing done. I'm not complaining, though, because it's my own damn fault.

BUT HEY ONE LAST THING. My dad called and he's sending me a list of all the people doing cards for the ComicCon thing. (I am making a study guide, you see.) The dinner, in addition, is really starting to take shape. Point being, do you know who Scott is friends with, and who he invited? MARK HAMILL. MARK. FREAKING. HAMILL. I AM GOING TO COMMIT SEPPUKU, I'M SORRY. I CAN'T CONTAIN IT.
marth_is_unamused

Ok, here's something else I should do: I was in history class and Mr. Hanchett was talking about western immigration and stuff, and he mentioned that people went out there for better land. For some reason, this led him to say that the thing he wants most in the world (his Mirror of Erised) is just a tiny square of grass in his backyard. Because, you know, he apparently lives in Sommerville, which really is a "concrete jungle." So, for an Easter/April break present for him, I want to plant some grass seed in a little pot, and maybe stick a little mini birdhouse in it or something. That would be so cute!

Also over April break, I would like to dedicate that week to making a Snape-coat for ComicCon, but I don't know if that'll go through.

Argh, I need to watch Dollhouse. And Buffy.

I think I'm going to go to the movies this weekend; I'd really like to see Frost/Nixon. It's still out, isn't it? I'm pretty sure it is.

ELIZA DUSHKU WAS IN BOTTLE SHOCK!? NOW WHEN I WATCH IT WITH MUM (because I said I would) I KNOW I'M GOING TO FANGIGGLE. (Also, as I pointed out to the Gang, she's so awesome in that movie that she's the one snarking at Alan Rickman. =DDDDDD) 

I saw Steven in the library today, and he suddenly broke out into song. "John Jacobs Jingleheimer Schmidt!" I don't remember how Mr. Muller reacted.

I did a very stupid thing at Exit 51. I sort of went with a couple of other people to ask Ms. Beekley what she thought of Mr. Quadros' beard (which still looks ridiculous.) It was a STUPID thing to do. Really, at least when Snape snarks, it's more mean and condescending. When Ms. Beekley snarks, it's like she's trying to make your soul melt into a little puddle of shame. *Ali leans over, "Argh, stop backpedaling! You're making it worse!"* God, I think she loves how upset she makes me.

You know what I find interesting? The Insider (or whatever it's called) was on, and it seems like every five seconds there's like, "HAY GUYZ! MAH SEKRIT WEDDINS, LET ME SHOW U DEM!" I suppose I find that most annoying because of that bit of my Life's Work. It's like, "Okay, they didn't do it in secret because they wanted you to analyze everything, post pictures everywhere, and say horrible things about them. What is this 'secret' of which you speak?" Anyway, that's sort of a personal rambling (though Snape wholly agrees and says: DDDDD:<)

I was watching tv with Mum and there was a commercial for NEIL PATRICK HARRIS ON ELLEN HOLY FRICKING FRICK ON A BISCUIT- I was squeeing so hard, and I can only imagine that, had she seen it, [info]chevy_the_geek would have had a coronary. Or her eyeballs would have popped out. That happened on House one time, you know. BUT NEVERMIND THAT. I saw a couple of pics from

[info]church_of_nph and he's wearing this adorable little sweater vest, and have I ever mentioned how much I love sweater-vests and holy CRAP IT WAS SO CUTE.

Last thing. Everyone knows about this, but this is technically a journal, so I'm putting it down anyway. I mentioned before how I had this dream and all I could remember from it was Snape saying, "I would prefer if you would refrain from petting me like a rabbit." So now

 

[info]lyricalecho  periodically pets my head until I say that. (Probably also because my hair is amazingly soft and so much better than hers ;3) But anyway (with my Freeze Ray~) Echo and Chevy were in health and they learned that an infant or young child should be touched at least 100 times a day because it improves self-esteem. This has led to various members of the Gang incessantly patting/poking each other while chanting "self-esteem, self-esteem, self-esteeeeeeem..." Hint: The effects are not the same if you practically hit the person, whilst screaming in their face, "SELF-ESTEEM, SELF-ESTEEM, SELF-ESTEEEEEEEEEM!!!"

 

Bruins game tomorrow! *Edgey!whoop!*
 


A Quick Weekend Glaze

So much time, so little to tell. Wait. No. Scratch that, put it in reverse.

Ok, so... Going back to Friday. Mr. Mintz was talking about schizophrenia and how some people babble nonsense, which is called word salad. He says, "It's as if you take all the words of the english language and turn them into bits of lettuce and tomatoes and cucumbers, and..." "And those funky little onions!" "YES!" he says to me. "AND THOSE FUNKY LITTLE ONIONS!"

Um... I had this dream night before last that was kind of a Buffy thing, and I swear Giles was in it, and I'm almost certain Snape was there too. But they were hanging out with Howl, and maybe I was Buffy? But anyway, Howl called me on my cell phone to warn me about demons or whatever, and he was speaking in a French accent. And I was like, "Hey, aren't you British?" And he was like, "Um?" Before which he went off on a whole rant about why he was obviously Frnch, and didn't I pay any attention at all? But then Snape's first cat from my Snape!fic was there, except he was turned into a t-shirt... And someone was wearing him? But it was still Snape's cat... But then last night I had a Buffy-like dream too, but I don't remember much about that. Oddly, I hadn't watched the show for a while before any of that...

So. The Christmas party. I won't even go into the history of the annual Christmas party that my dad's side of the family has. But, in essence, I'm usually pretty dependent on the presence of my Aunt Cheryl, who writes self-help books and has been on Good Morning America and Oprah, and God knows what else. So she did indeed come, and she brough another lovely author-friend from California, who has done basically the same. Dude. They. Saved. My life. I would have died in the hor d'oeurves if they hadn't been there.

So Cheryl and Debbie (Debbie Ford, the author friend) were talking to me and they decided that I should write a book about what parents should and shouldn't do during a divorce, basically because my parents went through a bloodbath. 'Cause you know that nine year old boy who wrote a book about women? People dig young authors, apparently, so yeah. Thanks for giving me this two weeks after NaNoWriMo. I dunno what I'll do with it now. (Oh, and also? Debbie has a son one year younger than me, and he loves ComicCon too. =DDDDDD)

What else, what else... OH FRUITS BASKET~

FURUBA SPOILERS LIKE WHOA )


*sigh* Ok, so what else? I did some lovely drawings this weekend, and I might post one or two once I ink them. They're all Snape!fic, of course, all with Meloric, simply because I was in that cute-yet-melancholic-Furuba-induced-mood. She's very much like that, now that I think about it, sort of like my postwar!Snape. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, I guess. (Which makes sense, because she really does love her daddy very much.) *D'awwwwww~* <3333333333333333333333333

Oh, here we go: a wet fish slap back to reality. Turns out my cold hands and poor circulation mean I have Reynaud's disease. I'd assume[info]lyricalecho has it too, judging how she turns purple and stuff. But anyway, we won't die or anything. Oddly enough, I did some research and do you know what sometimes causes Reynaud's? (Or is the effect of, if I read it wrong, which would be bad.) But anyway, do you know what I'm talking about? Lupus. Lupus. Dr. House is now coming to impale my head on his cane.

Pre-NaNo Panic

Ok, so here's my NaNo plan. This coming week, I do no actual writing at all. Instead, I do enough bio and psych vocab to last me a month, do the history project that I know isn't due for another three to four weeks, rake the backyard, reread at least the first two, maybe three Harry Potters (for reference) and then organize an outline for what I want to write/the format of how it's going to go (because sometimes I have trouble is I don't know where I'm going with something.) Dude, I can do this. =D

In other news, HALLOWEEN IS COMING UP EEEEEE~ <3 So, it's been decided that doing a Snape-coat is definitely out of the picture, because we were really too busy doing D's party to get started and now it's sort of late. However, my mum and I might be able to do it for ComicCon, so that's great. My second idea was to do Professor Layton, and my mum kinda was like, "Aaaaaaaah-no." Of course I could have found a brown suit and top hat! Oh, well. Maybe, again, for ComicCon. SO THAT BRINGS ME TO MY NEXT POINT (which is, like, so totally related, I swear.)

I was in my improv class, and the prompt was to do an advertisement skit. So, we had this whole skit for "Palin Pals," all with "Who is going to buy this doll?" "Every soccer mom and joe six-pack who ever wanted a playmate!" (To which I wonder, what the heck is a joe six-pack?) So apparently I can do a decent Palin imitation, and said imitation has been approved by the Palin groupies in my French class... So that's what I'm doing for Halloween. XD My dad didn't like it, and so I kinda second-guessed myself, and then I figured, "Screw that, I'm doing it anyway." I even got red, white and blue bands for my braces, so yeah, that's coming along. "And the great, Ronald Regan... *large, slow, rolling nods*"

Ok. So. Things I have to do.

- Do my Bio/Psych vocab
- Do all of my long-term chores
- Get my Palin costume together
- Find out what the heck that History thing actually entails
- READ SOME HARRY POTTER GUYZ ( [info]lyricalecho can I borrow Sorcerer's Stone? Mine's out for lease.)
- Do an outline
- Get Tyler to play Professor Layton
- BLOW SHIT UP WHOOOOO!

Some Stuff? =D

So here's the theory: Snape dies and is reincarnated into an adorable, blonde, spiky haired young man named Billy/Dr. Horrible.

I know, I know, it's come out of my mouth only a million times, but this is the first time it's coming out of my fingers. (And with this, [info]lyricalecho, my autumn friend? The only this you can find wrong with this is that I actually spent the time to do it. This isn't fangirling, it's scientific data!) 

Look! A fancy-looking chart! )


So... That's coming along.

In other news, I have this history teacher with gorgeous blonde, curly hair. It glows, I swear. And even? When my mum went to Parents Night, she came back and was all, "OMG, he has Adonis hair!" And the conversation changed from the previous "How's Pretty-Boy?" to "How's Mr. Adonis?" BUT THE POINT IS: I went to class today, and FRICK HE HAD CHOPPED ALL HIS HAIR OFF. Seriously, he was like, bald; a super wicked short buzz cut. He doesn't even look blonde, nevermind have ringlets of gold growing out of his head! And me and just about every other girl in the class was like, DDDDDDDDDDDDD=

Psych test was a success, and I'm getting a guy at school to play Professor Layton, generally because he's good at that stuff (like LE and her enormous brain) and also because he reminds me of Layton himself, all proper and gentlemanly-like.

For the record, we had a surprise party for D. For some reason, he didn't start crying until he saw my grandmother, which was odd, but his two grandkids were all jumping up and down at the door for him, and it was just so cute. And also, he seemed so suprised that I had lied to him about the party. "You're such a good fibber!" Ah, yeah, thanks, D. Then there was someone who brought some Polish food, "kapushta" is my spelling of how it sounds, and my mum was saying how it sort of smelled "gassy." I found this far funnier than I should have.

And also my mum was there (Snape says, "obviously") along with all of her friends, making: Jeanne, Joyce, Janice, and Crazy Patti. GOD I LOVE THESE LADIES! They also remind me of my friends. I'm like my mum, all tiny and "uhhhh?" Crazy Patti is like LE, all smart and funny and stuff, Kristen is like Joyce, all "to hell with it and let's go blow shit up whooo!" and then Janice is kind of like Kaylee, all quiet and animal-loving and stuff. =D

Also, D's daughter sort of reminds me of Ms. Beekley. I don't think she likes me very much, and I don't know why. But there were lots of other nice people there! And also, my mum's friend Kathy: her dad was looking at the drawing I gave to D and we started talking about how so few kids have a steady hand nowadays, and handwriting and stuff. And I was just thinking, maybe I could do the lettering for comic books when I get older. I dunno, I know a couple of those guys from ComicCon, Stan Sakai in particular (he's really nice,) and I might have some connections there if, you know, I decided to do that.

Lastly, I was talking to my friend Katheryn in English, and we got talking about the HPB movie. Something about a screening for some Mugglenet peeps and I dunno. But anyway, she said that in Spinner's End, there was much less of Sev and Bella hatin' on each other, which is unfortunate, but then she's like touching his stuff and he yells at her and what? But anyway, I was reading the review (by Mugglenet's Eric Bowling, who I met at ComicCon) and he said something about a "tailored Snape-suit," and this, to me, is =DDDDDDDD But then he ruined it by mentioning nicer hair, and I'm like "Nooo, Sev isn't supposed to have nice hair! I want the OOtP hair back! Sev!hair, come baaaaack!"

Also, I saw that the WWW scene is in there. APPROVAL! =D but then, I also heard about a lack of Ginny/Harry, which is unfortunate. Then again, I hear that Lavender isn't too annoying (and actually sort of enjoyable) and I read that they did justice to the HBP plot! And again, I heard that Sev was fabulous in the Sectumsempra scene. (YAY DR. SNAPE~ You may disinfect the area, Dr. Snape! But I don't haaaave a tumor in my pancreas! LET'S DISMANTLE THE BOMB, KIDS! *reference!barf!*)

And just now, LE sent me the link to Felicia Day singing "Still Alive." You are amazing, Felicia, you really are. 

I should be doing homework. Have I done any yet? Nooooo! So I'll get that done.
