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.![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
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 S
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.

Oooh, goodness. I've been putting this off for forever. I'll put down the stuff that I've already said outloud, but wish to stick in here for future reference.
For example, Nutella is my new favorite food. It's like spreadable hazelnut chocolate in a jar.
Also, Portal is AWESOME. I'm only at Room 16, so I'm not quite done yet. Though, I might chance to ask how it is thatlyricalecho knows GLaDOS' lines better than I do, and yet her copy of the game lies on the floor of the bedroom with the plastic wrap still on it.
"If you become lightheaded from thirst, feel free to pass out."
Also Buffy, whee! Ms. Walsh is either going to be helpful, bad, or dead- and I don't know which one yet. Xander is awesome and deep with his whole Dark Side speech, and Willow's hair is =DDDDDD I'll hopfeully watch the rest of the disc this weekend.
Well, today I saw Eli!Snape again. I guess he usually wears contacts or something, because today he was wearing these great glasses that were a little Mark a la Rent. You know, the rectangular ones with the thick black frames? Yeah. It made me smile inside.
Is it bad that I find this ----> www.hulu.com/watch/40438/sesame-street-s
Soon after that, the dream shifted suddenly to where I was River, and I was in some desert army base, and a nuclear bomb went off (guess where that came from) and I figured out that that's why I/River was crazy. In layman's terms,
I mentioned to Echo that I wanted to get a treadmill for my birthday, because I want to be in better shape and maybe join track next year. She proceeded to shun me.
Speaking of birthdays... I KNOW WHAT I'M GETTING EEEEECHOOOOOOO~
I keep playing Penny's Song over and over again, and I keep singing it when the house is empty, 'cause I'm going to do it for this audition next weekend. (Music Review. Beatles. Indie-Rock. Be there. PEACE.) Also, I'm posting it so that I won't chicken out and blow it off.
Kelsey is NOT DEAD YEEEEEET~

No, really. I mean, at least it was about thirty seconds or so of watching The Grinch before I thought that, so I have SOME hope, right? Right? Ugh... *I found a neat vid on Youtube, though. He had a really great "seasick crocodile" face, as well as plenty of raised-eyebrows looks, all "What did you just call me? Is that even a word?"
I'm wholly pleased with all the people I've scarred with the previous post. XD
I went to a hockey game last weekend, and I kept hearing snippets of conversation from these two guys behind us. One such snippet went, "Your Honor? Um... The first witness I'd like to the stand is - uh - a penguin?"
I NEED TO GET TYLER TO PLAY PROFESSOR LA
I NEED TO GET D TO WATCH STARDUST!
I NEED TO GET ERIKA TO READ HAVEMERCY!
I was in Psych, and we're talking about mental disorders and stuff. Oh, and BTW? "If a friend calls you neurotic, then you should not say thank you! if your friend calls you psychotic... You should punch them in the face." ANYWAY, so Mr. Mintz is like, "So how do you classify mental disorders? What can you say about those people?" And Steven says, "Uh... Abby- something." XD And then, later, "Okay. So, before they had mental hospitals, what did they do?" And again Steven says immediately, "SHE'S A WITCH! BUUURN 'ER!"
"And it's not my nose, it's a false one!" "BUUUUUURN 'ER ANYWAY!"
Ok, so there's this teacher in the Upper House (who I'm pretty sure is in the English department) and the joke is that he looks like an unattractive Alan Rickman. *I know, I can't picture that either.* But I described him as "If Alan was, you know, a regular old guy and not hot." So yeah, so I'm in B Lunch so I sometimes see him around, and yesterday I actually heard him say something, which, he doesn't, usually. I should not have been so surprised by his lack of a British accent. D=
I brought in cookies for some friends. I saved one for Ms. Beekley, but I eated it.
OKAY TGIO PARTY - I NEED TO WATCH (in order of how important, I think:)
- Objects In Space/ Serenity
- Hitchicker's Guide to the Galaxy (For Echo, who has ashamedly never seen it. I would have thought it would be her bible.)
- Hellboy II
- Haruhi or Ouran; the latter, I think.
- Buffy?
I dunno. That's still alot of stuff. I also want to read Breaking Dawn, just because I've heard that it's a total acid trip.
In addition to that, as if I needed more, I've started watching House with my mum. First off, Hugh Laurie is awesome. Second, I had remembered Robert Sean Leonard from Dead Poet's Society, and so now I've added Dr. Wilson to the List because they are, of course, one and the same. SERIOUSLY, THOUGH. They took ickle!DPS!Neil and stuck his head on a man body and said, "Voila! More hot doctors!" He is very cute, though. He had boyish charm. XD
Do you know who else has boyish charm? Anderson Cooper. He's on the top of my mum's List, aside from, you know, like, her boyfriend. She even squees a little bit when he's on tv, and she's soooo happy that he's doing some 60 Minutes now. He was on with Michael Phelps, actually, and they had a race. Like, in the pool? I think we all know where this is going, and I can only imagine how many brain cells my mum lost when she saw him in those cute little swimming trunks. He, in addition to Neil/Dr. Wilson, is very cute (and buff! He's like, sort of a small guy, but he is ripped! XDDDD) I sort of added him too.
Today, my French teacher made the funniest noise, just because it was just like the one my dad makes when he's frustrated. It's like "AH, crap." But with only the "AHHHHHHHHHHK." He seemed a little embarrassed, and he looked around, all, "Crap, did anyone hear me do that?"
Also today, Ms. Beekley was going over The Catcher In the Rye, and she got into a small dispute with someone. "Why is the Doberman important?" she asks. And this kid replies, "Because it was Jane's dog, and that's how she met Holden; it was pooping in his yard." And she says, like it's the most important thing in the world, "It didn't poop!" "Didn't it?" "IT PEEEEEEEEEEED!"
I swear to God.
I wish I hadn't laughed so hard.

I'm typing fast; I have Nano and an english paper and a test and some other things so- yeah.
It was D's real birthday, so we made him cake. It was a new type of cake, however, one that apparently had some sort of tunnel of fudge. Now, we made this bundt cake, and there WAS NO TUNNEL OF FUDGE. This cake was a lie. It was. I almost had a stroke, but indeed it was a lying cake and the cake was indeed a lie.

ceiling_smiley has very good opinions. About Twilight, about Alan Rickman, about Harry Potter... Generally. (COL. BRANDON ILU)
Ok, here's my Twilight thing. (Possibly my Rant of the Day.) I read the books and I liked them. I didn't love them, but they weren't bad. It was just a regular vampire romance novel, and I'm not all too fond of the genre anyway. But it was still okay, and I counted it under my fandoms. BUT THEN. I started hearing the cry of the fangirls. They got louder, and louder, and more annoying and arrogant than any normal fan would. Why? Because it's all about Edward. Just like High School Musical is popular because girls like to drool over Zac Effron (who was totally in Firefly, BTW!) or because Harry Potter is popular because girls like to drool over Snape- AHAHAHEM WHO SAID THAT? that is why it's so huge. I think. It might have just been the publicity. And you know how they're saying it's the next Harry Potter? IT'S NOT. As lyricalecho said, Twilight's writing is not fantastic, and neither is its plot particularly original. Harry Potter's writing is not all that amazing either, but the characters, and the places and animals and plotline and that entire universe is just that- an entire universe. Harry Potter > Twilight. I'm sorry.
Oh, also? I summed up Twilight for a friend in art who hasn't read it. It went something like, *in a low, yet oddly feminine pitched voice,* "Oh, Bella! I want to suck your blood and kill you horribly, but I love you!" *in a high, squeaky voice* "Oh, Edward! I love you so much, and I really don't care that you're a vampire and could kill me even by accident! Please, Edward! Make me into a vampire like you!" "No, Bella! I could never do that to you! To curse you with my fate is too horrible!" "Oh, Edward, please, bite me, please! I want to be with you foreeeeeeeverrrrrr! <33333333"
Also? What's this I hear about vampire babies? I mean, like, I wouldn't want to spoil Clean Mondays with this, but... Like, you know, wouldn't the guy need actual blood in his body to, you know- ANYWAY. SEE, THIS IS HOW NONSENSICAL TWILIGHT IS. THE VAMPIRES? THEY SPARKLE. FRICKING SPARKLE.
In other news? Tyler likes Benny Goodman. My life is now complete. <3333333333333333333333333 SPEAKING OF WHICH:
I was writing my english paper, and I went over it again only to find how... Well, how shoebox-y it sounded. "And so there I was, raking, with my nose in a terrible upset on account of being half-frozen off. My ears, though they were clamped tightly beneath my hat, were rather irritable as well. My fingers? Don’t get me started. The more I thought about it, the more I was sure that my neighbors’ appendages were in a far better state of well-being than my own." So yeah, that. I hope they get the account up and working again; the whole hacking thing was really the epitome of suckage. *Russians. I told'ja, we gotta go over there and be all, 'Shoo! Git off our eenerneyts now, we got some shoebox to read don'cha know!"
Today in Bio, we were talking about fossil fuels and the cabon cycle and that stuff. My teacher was talking about how decaying animals got buried in bogs and stuff, though the exact phrasing was, "and they sank into the swamp." I laughed hysterically, and no one else got it. But it was so worth it.
Um... I should get back to My Life's Work, as Echo calls it. My Life's Work = Snape!fic. It does seem like that, though. Trust me, I started *and I know* on August 27, 2007. I don't know how I ever survived without Snape.
Which, by the way? I was reading through the earlier Harry Potters just to get some characterization stuff for Sev and all of that? And he was cruel. I mean, really awful and abusive. And I was like, "wow, I had forgotten how horrific he was." But then it mentioned something about him sneezing, and I dove right back into, "D'AWWWW! SEV, ARE YOU GETTING SICK? LEMME GET YOU SOME TEAAAAAAAAA!!!"
But in my story, I killed Snape's cat. D= I know, I know... But I'm nicer to my fic!peeps than Echo is. =p
