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 CAN BREATHE AGAIN. I EXIST AMONG THIS WORLD OF EARTHLY BEIN
I say this because I, like, sort of forgot.
NaNo is over with, and I am so psyched that I made it. My wordcount ended at 60, 036. I was stupid and, when it was a little before nine last night, I said, "Oh, I'm at 58k! I can bang out 2k in an hour and go to bed normal time, right?" WRONG. *dumbass*
So I've gotten out the part I would have never written otherwise, or as I described it to
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
lyricalecho , it's like the essential little cruds at the end of the tube of toothpaste that you just have to get out because there is no new tube of toothpaste. Granted, my sad 60k is, in the big picture of my horribly over-convoluted story, a mere "drop in the bucket" (as Echo says.) Oui, c'est vrai. Oh, mon Dieu... So, rather that handing out the whole thing like others are doing (others who are finished) I think I'll hand out chunks. Also, I need to write an epilogue-y piece with Snape being all cutesy with his daughter and her bunny plushie and bedtime stories, and d'awwwww... But that is neither here nor there. I have to get him to stop hating on my character first.Although... I've been talking to peeps, and it seems that some have had problems when their characters want to jump in the sack, so to speak. Happily, I will not have to deal with this until much further down the road, as at the moment, he doesn't even like her standing to close to him, never mind... It's Snape. Do you have to say anymore?
Which, by the way, I want to touch on this. Snape fanfiction in general? They like to paint this picture of him being a total stud. Like, he has black satin sheets and sleeps around. (DUDE. THAT IS NOT SNAPE. THE ONLY WOMAN HE EVER LOOKED AT WAS LIL
It really is my "Life's Work."
I also have done other things aside from NaNo, suprisingly (this does not include studying, sleeping in on Saturdays or doing laundry.) ->

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

Ok, so, I'm still sick, and it's Saturday, andlyricalecho has given me a number of things to do, on top of all the other things I'm doing. So...
1. WATCH FIREFLY
2. Play Professor Layton - This I have already started, actually. AND? My brain. Hurts. So frigging bad. It's hard, people. But so cute! I <3 Layton sooo much. And you know what else? You know how the came turns on and they have the Level 5 credit, and it goes "Do-do-dwee, do-do-dwee!" (not Benny Goodman, guys...) But yeah, everytime I hear that, it makes me think of Link and Zelda, and the Hyrule theme/Sun's Song which has the same first two notes, except it goes, "Do-do-dwee, do-do-dwee, do-do-do dweeeeeeee!" *ahem* So anyway, I also found this puzzle in the Inn, and you have to make the outline of a woman. This would be much easier IF EVERYONE IN THIS TOWN DIDN'T LOOK SO W
3. Finish my Phoenix Wright doujinshi book.
4. Reread Eldest at some point, so I can read Brising'r. My friend Sam tried to give me spoilers, and I LIT UPON HER WITH THE RAGE OF A THOUSAND F
5. Browse through Eclipse so I can read Breaking Dawn. I'm not a colossal fan of the series, hence only "browse."
6. Write my Royal fic and/or my Snape fic (the newer, shorter one.)
7. Look through Havemercy and get a list of the main scenes, for a poll on ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small}
thremedon
8. Do my history homework. Finished homework is a good thing.
