So... I really don't have much to post (big surprise! - no, really) but I figured I'd put something down anyway.

I finally listened to the rest of that Snapcast episode. They had a fic reading, actually, so when I woke up at five in the morning and couldn't go back to sleep, I figured I'd lay in bed and listen to it. So I'm sitting there, ten minutes in, in the dark, in bed, at five in the morning, bawling my little eyes out. It was like, Hermione being the clean-up crew for post-Hallows Snape, and it was actually kind of gross how they went into how his neck arteries were hanging out and everything, but... It was insanely heartbreaking, being inside Hermy's head at that point, and her thinking about what a sucky life he had and not being loved ever, and then they were talking about it afterward about the funky ending with the patronuses and how Snape's patronus came out as a hawk when they were closing the tomb because it probably was meant to be what it was before it was a doe like Lily and all, but then the doe showed up and he followed her into the Forest, and it was like she had forgiven him and come back to lead him home and I was just like, "BAAAAAAAAAAW!"

... That was a sucky synopsis, but that's ok. *sniffle*

It terms of other things that don't make my inner fangirl want to roll up in a ball and die, D's been sick and everything, so I sent him a copy of the Giley!fic, along with a lovely rundown of the Buffy knowledge he needed. It went something like:

"Giles: Think Remus Lupin (werewolf, Harry Potter, you know?) Think glasses. Think British. Think Obi-Wan, Gandalf or Dumbledore undercover as a librarian. Think... Tweed."

Unfortunately, however, the attatchment wouldn't go, so he ended up calling me and I read it to him over the phone. I think it made him feel alot better. If he visits today, then I might read him the first part of the Snilly fic. (This all reminds me that I need to do my ff.net thing- argh, I have to get around to that.)

Im just throwing this out, now that I'm on a bit more of a Furuba kick and I picked up this new icon and all, but I'm sort of starting to realize that I really identify with Tohru. I mean, I know she seems cute and innocent and all, but she's got some serious inner demons. That, and she tries to make everyone around her happy and feel better and all. In fact... I think she might be one of my favorite female characters... In general. I mean, more than Hermione for sure, and more that Willow I think, and maybe more than Kaylee? That's questionable. But yeah.

Hey, you know that new Kelly Clarkson song, My Life Would Suck Without You? I can't help but think of how perfect this is for my Life's Work- by which I mean the lyrics work and not so much the peppy tune (SNAPE DOES NOT APPROVE.) But really, it does work ridiculously well.

Being with you
Is so dysfunctional
I really shouldn't miss you,
But I can't let you go

or my favorite, and the most perfect few lines ever:

I know that I've got issues
But you're pretty messed up too
Either way, I found out
I'm nothing without you

Hee. <3

I also went shopping with my mum yesterday, and my God I was in a good mood. Even my mum, the maternal-like Mrs. Weasly was like, "Uh... Are you okay? You're so... Cheery." Maybe it's 'cause I got to rest my brain a little bit when I was sick. But I was in such a good mood that I ended up telling her that I danced with Tyler at the semi. I had just talked about it with Echo (just before Inkheart, actually, so that's why it was so weird seeing him there) and I thought I was going to keep it to myself. But I was just feeling so fuzzy that I kept literally opening my mouth to say it, and it wouldn't come out. So I'd be quiet again. And finally my mum just sort of popped out with, "Oh, hey, how's Tyler?" And I was just like, "OK YEAH ABOUT THAT- EEEE!?" And she thought it was cute, and tried to convince me that he didn't ask simply because Paige told him to. Because he would totally do that. He went out with Allison in junior high just because he heard she liked him and he felt bad. So I dunno. I'll see Paige on the bus at one point or another and maybe we can girl talk more? =3 She's good at that.

Hockey game today- I'm not sure if Timmy will be playing, though. I'm sure, as always, that Erica would be tremendously happy if he did. BRUUUUUUIIIINS YEAH!

Looking back, I thought I had alot more things I wanted to talk about, but that's okay.

So first off, I was watching James and the Giant Peach with my mum the other night, what with it being on TV and all. Cripes. I hadn't watched that since I had it on VHS. V. H. S. (I may know all about these newfangled iPods and such, but technology can certainly make anyone feel a little old, even if they aren't.)

But anyway, I remembered a lot more of it than I would have thought; you know, but I totally wasn't humming along with any of the songs or anything like that. I swear. However, I did remember quite vividly that I liked the grasshopper best, and I never had any idea why. Watching it again, it's quite obvious.

Mr. Grasshopper is the British professor-ly type.

And I was, like, six.

That's not weird at all...

So, going down the list, I went to my brother's Court of Honor for Boy Scouts, and I was quite surprised with some familiar faces: kids who are in my english class, in my art class, who poke me in the head, or have a strange shoebox!Sirius/Minerva relationship with my bio teacher... By I also saw a familiar face not from school, but from fandom, by which I mean I saw ickle!Snape's incarnate in the Viking patrol. (Or was it the Liberty Bells...) But anyway, even my friend Amy, who is not a Potterhead, agreed with me. I was like, "OMG Amy, there's this kid that looks just like little!Snape!" "Where?" "I dunno, somewhere- He has shoulder-length, slightly greasy black hair, and a big nose, and is kinda pale and skinny." And immediately she says, "Oh, that's Eli!" ELI = SEV = WINNNNN~

Yesterday, Ms. Beekley took one look at the guys of the english class all grouped together for a project and said, "NO FRICKIN' WAY," as loud as she possibly could.

Tyler said he would play Professor Layton soon. I sort of prodded him in Psych class, talking about how it was very European and nice. Also, I told him about this review I read on the internet, and how it compared PL to the (second?) Die Hard movie, all, "Some of these might give Jeremy Irons a run for his money!" This image will be burned into my mind forever, of Layton jumping out of helicopters and running the Laytonmobile off the side of an overpass. 

Did you know that Tyler owns a pet chinchilla, wants to live in Scandinavia, plans to be a dentist, and likes tea with those funky holiday sugar cookies that come out of a tube?

Speaking of sweets, I ended up making fandom cupcakes for my secret santa person, Kenny. There was a Rebel Alliance (Star Wars) cupcake, a spiderman, Battlestar Galactica, creepyface, star trek, Kid Flash, Green Lantern, two with the Chinese characters for Serenity, and three with "not" "a" "lie." It was pretty great. Unfortunately, Elise brought them back to me in homeroom all, "You forgot your cupcakes! =DDDDDDDD" And I was just like, "DDDDDDDD=" I was up until 11:30 finishing those... I left one for Ms. Colotti, though, the most lovable and adorable art teacher ever (also, probably the most gorgeous.) And then the Flash one was supposed to go to Mr. Muller, but he wasn't there, so I gave it to Mr. Mintz. To which he said, "Awww, you're so sweet!" and I was just like, " ILU =DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD"

There's this Youtube video of 40 inspirational speeches in 2 minutes, all from different movies and stuff. It's awesome. I spied some Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Apollo 13, Orli Bloom in something, Robin Hood (the lovely one with Alan,) At World's End, Dead Poet's Society, Galaxy Quest (which also has Alan in it,) and something where Lockart is surprisingly not a Nazi for once.  It's very cool.

I could talk more about Youtube vids, but while I'm on the topic... It's true. Kenneth Branagh, who was Lockhart, has been a Nazi in every other thing I've seen him in. Most recently, I was watching TV when I saw a commercial for Valkirie, and was all "OMG WAZ THAT LOCKHART?" And it was. Speaking of which, I'm usually not into Nazi movies, but this one has the above mentioned, Bill Nighy, Tom Hollander... A little Davy/Beckett reunion there. And then I don't know what Eddie Izzard is doing, but he's there.

On the topic of movies? Boy In Striped Pajmas, with David Thewlis? It didn't get very good reviews. DDDDDDD= (To which I say, how bad can it be with Remus in it?)

I'll post some cupcake pictures later, but that's it for now.

I saw this onlyricalecho's LJ, and I figured I'd nab it. And besides, ifzarla makes time for a meme, it must be worth it, right? (And then I realized how long it was going to be XD)

1) Have your music library ready.
2) Choose one song from your music library whose title starts with the first letter (or number) of your screen name.
3) Repeat this process with each successive letter (or number) in your screen name until you run out of letters (or numbers).
4) Post up your results.
5) BONUS POINTS: Upload your mix (whether it's individual songs or a .zip of all the songs) and include the mix in your post.
6) MORE BONUS POINTS: Add the line around the 1:10 mark of at least five songs. 
 

So, that's all for now. I have loooooads more to post, but I'll see if I can do that later (I've got homework and other things to get done and stuff.) SG out, yo. ^.^
