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

G2G WRITE NOW GUYZ~
 

In Phoenix Wright news: You know what makes a morning awesome? Having your best friend run up to you in the hall and present (OBJECTION!) you with a Yahoo!Messenger doodle of Kristoph Gavin doing creepyface ]:< on a rainbow unicorn. Or something like that.

Also presented to me was Professor Layton and the Curious Village, which I will play, and Havemercy, co-written by LJ's ownladyjaida who is also responsible for the ever near-and-dear Shoebox fic. Potterheads: if you haven't read Shoebox, than you must. There's dear Remus being unbearably adorable, and Peter bing a dork, (:B) and Siruis being -well, Sirius- and James being all lovesick over Lily and awww... (It iiiis kind of a bummer when they pick on Severus, but that's just me being fangirly, I swear.) Also, Benny Goodman fans are awesome.
More on this later. =D

In sandwich news: I've named my own. You know that kind of sandwich that is kind of on a sub roll, but it's kinda small and it has the meat and cheese and lettuce sticking out? I call it a hobohoagie. Hobo. Hoagie. Hobohoagie. I don't know, it just kind of strikes me as something you'd see some guy on a park bench eating. (Also, this may or may not have been inspired by Hobo!Nick/Naruhobo, but I can't really say.) Random as this may be, I only came up with this after seeing a guy in my English class magically pull one out of thin air and start mauling it.

Creepyface, rainbows, unicorns, hobos... My work here is done.
