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

There is nothing better than watching Silent Hill at midnight. Granted, I didn’t think it was very scary, but maybe that’s just because it was more like, “LOL IT’S PYRAMIDHEAD” and less “OMG HE’S GONNA RAPE ME TO DEATH.” Then again, things like that happened alot in this movie, where I was more giggly than scared... Let me go about this in a more organized manner.
Edit: Actually, I remembered what I wanted to talk about. I find it interesting that Silent Hill takes on so many incarnations, and none of them seem more canon than the next. You have 1 and 3, with the religious crazies led by Dahlia and Alessa releasing God, and then 2, where SH is all Star Wars-like, where it's "only what you bring with you," or the movie where they burned Alessa as a witch and the Otherworld is her revenge (actually the movie has 3 Alessas, go figure.) Personally, I like the second one best, but that's just me.

So school's okay, I guess. Nothing particular to say about it, though Mr. Mintz is the only teacher who I actually know. No more Beeks, no more R Quad... I had to laugh, though. It says something when you get a sudden sense of comfort after the first time your teacher meows. Thank you, Mr. Mintz.
Although... Mrs. Stanley, my lit teacher, has two Star Wars posters and a Chamber of Secrets poster up in her classroom, so that seems promising. =DDD
Also, I'm psyched to have lunch with all the peeps this year. Of course, my first two lunches have been spent helping Echo explain Metal Gear to

artemisrampant. Mostly just the gay. Echo says it's "gayer than yaoi fanfiction" and it "makes the twins look straight." All of this is true.So yeah, pretty much. I think I'm going to watch the Silent Hill movie, but I'm not sure yet. I dunno, maybe tomorrow night... I guess I'll think of more to say later. ^.^

I'm still perfectly aware that I haven't done a China post, or a SDCC post, and I was going to post this quite some time ago, but I was too lazy / neglectful. On the other hand, I wasn't too lazy to plow through one and a half summer reading books, even though this second one makes very little sense. As I Lay Dying, William Faulkner. At one point, one of the characters is like, "I am a fish. Or I might be. Because that fish used to be a fish and it isn't anymore so now I must be one." Or something. And there are so many run-on sentences that follow the characters entire thought process, and they all have very long and sporadic thought processes.
BUT ENOUGH OF THAT. I AM GOING TO TALK ABOUT SILENT HILL, AND THEN METAL GEAR, AND THEN THE NEWEST DISCOVERIES CONCERNING METAL GEAR 4, INCLUDING THE GAYEST (and i mean that literally, really) THING I HAVE EVER BEEN WITNESS TO.
( OMG SO MUCH FANDOM )
Anyway, I'm going to camp tomorrow, but I promise I'll talk about MGS4 before I go. =3 Oh, and for Echo, here's my MGS meme fo you. =DDD
Favorite character: Otacon! Snake is a close second, though.
Least favorite character: Rose… But I like her in MGS 3 with her monster movies and all. Maybe Naomi. But she was so cute with Sunny! Mmm… I guess Roy. I find him annoying. (Or maybe that’s just in the 4th one? I haven’t seen him in any other ones.) Grr this is hard.
Character with the best hair: Raiden. BECAUSE IT’S SO PRETTY. AND YES EMMA, IT’S TOTALLY NATURAL.
Character with the best eyes: Meryl, I’d say. Otacon has nice eyes, even though I wish he would keep his glasses on, dammit!
Character with the best smile: Sunny! She’s soooo cute~! Or Laughing Octopus, according tothis.
Character I'd most want to kiss: …Otacon?
Character I'd most likely have sex with: Um…
Character I'd make lunch for: Sunny, so she wouldn’t have to cook. =) Or maybe old!Snake, because he’s such a woobie. Also, Solidus needs some love. And for that matter, if zarla comics are anything to go by, young!Liquid needs a lunch so bad it’s not even funny. D=
Character I'd go singing in the rain with: Ocelot is really the only one who would sing in the rain. Well actually, Sunny. =DDD “Puddles! 1, 4, 2, 1, 1…”
Character I'd go shopping with: I imagine Raiden would know all about it. :3 But really, probably Sunny. Unless Snake was gun shopping, I’d tag along just because it would be fun. “Ooh, ooh, what does that one do, Snake?” (Now I’m thinking about the zarla comic with Big Boss doing the grocery shopping, and Solidus in the cart like, “Daddyyyy!? Why do IIII have sit in the caaaart?” X3)
Character I'd go dancing with: TOTALLY OCELOT, OMG DO WANT… EVEN MORE THAN OTACON!SMOOCHIES MAYBE. (But Raging Raven would make me laugh. “RAAAAGE!” “No, it’s called a rave. Not a rage.” “RAAAAGE!”
Character I'd take over the world with: Ocelot, again.
Character I most want to see more of: Ocelot’s finger guns.
Favorite pairing: Snake/Otacon, Ocelot/Big Boss, The Sorrow/The Joy, Ocelot/his moustache
Least favorite pairing: Campbell/Rose >>( But man. Raiden is such a fail, his pregnant fiancee left him in a drunk stupor for some old man who is described by his own daughter as "a womanizing piece of shit." Ouch, Raiden. Ouch.

Oh, and another thing? I was looking through Rachel's friends page, and it turns out that Snapekid has a facebook too. XDDD (And he has over 200 friends!) Why does that make me laugh so hard?
Well, actually, that doesn't make me laugh as hard as this other thing Mum said. She made me promise not to post this, but I am. She realized that in regards to Snapekid's house, she had the wrong one, and it's not purple-y-pink, its a different house that's actually bubblegum pink. But anyway, she says, "I was just thinking... Snapekid's pink house is kinda like the equivalent to Snape's grey underwear, don't you think?" MUM FTW~ XDDDDDDD OW WAIT MY BRAIN OW
ANYWAY. On a whole other note, I listened to the released music for Kenji and I got that little leaping feeling in my chest, followed by incessant squealing. JAKE'S THEME MADE ME WANT TO CRY WITH JOY~ And Blue Badger of course, and Miiiiiiles~ (And I like the new Pursuit theme, even though it's sorta different.) It's like... I feel almost proud of the fandom.
I took pics of the fandomcase, finally, so those should be up soon. =DDD
And after thinking about it, I reeeeally want to write a Snape/Silent Hill crossover fic. It would be really interesting, I think, but I have to finish my other projects first (like the Royal fic! Though, speaking of that, I'm going to give
khoany Havemercy to read, so maybe that will inspire me.)I just had this interesting exchange with Mum; she look at the news online, and she watches the D-Day ceremony and sees the thing on the sidebar: "ABC NEWS LIVE." So, "Is it really live?" she asks. And without thinking, I say, "Well, it was live when they taped it." This causes an awkward pause as we think about this. Oddly enough, things like this happen alot. (EDIT: She looked at my title quick, and asked, "Who is the Elvis of facebook?)

Although, Snapekid was hanging out with this other kid who
chevy_the_geek swears is just like Milan Lucic of the Boston Bruins, so I'm on the lookout for Loochkid as well. =DDD ( Seriously, like, EVERYONE I KNOW has been telling me that they've seen him around, and for God's sakes, I've been seeing him *everywhere*. He's here and there like NEEYOOM NEEYOOM NEEYOOM. (Maybe he Apparates?) )
SO. On another note, (actually there are three more notes,) I first have a Silent Hill tidbit. Chevy recently had a dream in which PyramidHead was on Oprah for a makeover. Apparently he used to be a doctor in a really crumby area, and all the doctors made fun of him, and since it was in a rough part of town, he had to wear a bullet-proof helmet, so he pulled it all the way over his head and became PH. Also, his name is Drew. And he likes to wear Hawaiian shirts. I am now going to draw this.

Lastly,khoany stood up in English today when the topic of China was brought up, and she said, "BTW, guys? We are all going to get diarrhea. Definitely. But, it's going to be the best damn diarrhea we've ever had." To which I immediately responded, "Ain't it just!" Needless to say, we were both the only ones laughing hysterically.

So I'll start with the former and move to the latter, mmm?
We had a peer leader thing with the Freshman last Friday, and we met in the auditorium and did stuff and then went to the Field House and did stuff... But in the auditorium, they had all this music playing when everyone was coming in, and during that I happen to notice Snapekid sitting somewhat near me. He doesn't seem too happy with the music, and he has his headphones on and is all, "Whatever." So then they start playing Don't Stop Believin' (you know, Journey,) and out of the corner of my eye I see him sort of perk up, take off the headphones, and then start grinning at his buddy sitting next to him. By the second verse, they're both singing along and rocking out, complete with Snape-y headbanging. Yes. Headbanging.
So then we get to the Field House, and alot of the peer leaders are hanging out and dancing near the DJ, along with some of the Freshman. I guess someone got Snapekid up there too, because he and Kenny are tearing it up rocker-style. To my surprise, Snapekid is very good at this. Much more to my surprise, as I'm watching, Kenny offers to let me join them, so I end up jamming out with Kenny, this other girl, and Snapekid. It was freaking awesome. (Also, imagine Young!Snape jumping up and down to Every Time We Touch, yet still staying remarkably Snape-y. HOW DOES THIS KID DO IT?)
Also, apparently he's a huge Pink Floyd fan, since I heard him go and specifically request they play Brain Damage, from the Dark Side of the Moon album. Dad very much approves of this.
Actually, I lied. I am going to put the two together. Well- not literally. I was just thinking about the whole PH is guilt-incarnate, and James is punishing himself for killing Mary, etc. etc... And am I the only one who thinks Snape would have one hell of a Silent Hill? He has James' self-hatred, and Angela's abuse issues, and Eddie's problems with being picked on, and Laura's lonliness... Ouch, guys.
