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.

Next, PROFESSOR LAYTON 2 TRAILER ASDFGHJKL;OMGOMGOMGOMGASDFGHJKL:frjjfjrsgrgjaargnho'ipriw- I first noticed the 'alcohol references' in the warnings label, and I have to wonder, "IS LAYTON SPIKING HIS TEA?" Also swooooord fiiiiights asdfghjkl; OMG ahhhhheeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!! <3333333333333 fdghjguiutllygiutgfghjm~

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.

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.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

AHAHAHAHA- Oh, S#%@ I don't feel like waiting until July.
 

The title, of course, is referring to the essay that Beeks made us write. "Write about someone you know who had something really horrible happen to them, that changed their life and made them miserable. Don't write about anything happy. Make it as personal and as painful to write as you can. Make sure to angst as you write it." 

I made something up.

I finished Portal this weekend, and it has most certainly been added to my Top 3 Games list, which now includes Portal, Phoenix Wright, and Legend of Zelda: TP, in no particular order. But honestly, I love GLaDOS more than I should. "That thing is probably a raw sewage containment unit. So just go ahead and rub your face all over it." Also, I'm going to start saying, "NO WAI." Aaaand... Oh. The Curiosity Cube is my absolute favorite, even more than the turrets. "Who are you? What is that? Ooh, what's in here? Hey, look at that thing! No, the other thing! Ooh, that thing has numbers on it! Hey, you're that lady from the test! HI! Where are you going? Eeew! What's wrong with your legs!? Do you smell something burning?"

And unfortunately, I actually quoted the snarky computer  in reference to my dad, saying, "Helloooooo~? THAT'S YOU. THAT'S HOW DUMB YOU SOUND." Looking back, that was nooooot the smartest thing to do. Then again, he also didn't take it seriously, "so that's funny too."

There are so many things about the latest Dollhouse episode, that I would hardly bother to write them all down here. Simply: Sierra/Victor FTW. November breaks my heart. Sierra's backstory is also really awful, though, and I mean that in the sense that it's well-written, just really, really horrible. Echo/Caroline is awesome, but still not my favorite, even though the scene with Topher was amazing (aslyricalecho so enthusiastically points out.) Paul is sexy but insane. Unless that's just his dreams. THOSE ARE TOTALLY CRACK!DREAMS, HE'S NOT CRAZY. (And [lyrical]Echo, dear, I told you he had a thing for Caroline in particular.) But why don't I like that? It just seems wrong. Lastly, Topher, being afraid of the dark, and I honestly can't help but see him as just "the science guy," like maybe [lyrical]Echo when she grows up to be a supervillain.

Oh, hey, I was English today and I as was dumping my stuff on the back counter, I heard two generally non-dorky girls (though not quite the sporty/jock type) say something along the lines of, "Oh, yeah, I can't believe Angel came back and apologized!" And I figured since there is a guy in my grade named as such, I should ignore it. But then Molly was like, "Oh, man! Buffy was great in that scene!" After which I homed in and was all, "Uh... What are you talking about?" They muttered an ashamed, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," and I was like, "OMG YOU GUYS 
ARE MY NEW FAVORITE PEOPLE." It was pretty awesome, and since they're only a little ahead of me, we would have fangirled more, but then Beeks came in. Frickety frick on a buscuit. 

Ok, so it turns out Eli!Snape has an art class at the same time, as me, but across the hall. Since my class gets out earlier, and I sometimes poke in to say hi to Ms. Colotti, I ended up seeing him in there. They're doing the horrible 'clay head' project, and Eli!Snape was holding his up to the light, and I've never seen a kid look at his art so thoughtfully (with the contemplative hand-to-his-chin gesture and everything.) This spawned many mental images of artistic!Snape, all of which made me giggle inside all the way down to lunch. It also made me think of that Bones clip I saw of Booth with his little clay horse? Was that what it was? I think so. XD *AWW*

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-soliloquy-on-b#s-p11-st-i1 "excruciatingly humorous?"

Hee! I finally sent in my question to snapecast. I was fairly sure I heard something about a Valentine's day episode, so maybe it will make it in time for that. They do have alot of owlpost, though... Even still, I thought it was a good question. "That's the point, Joss! It's COMPELLING!" The question is as follows:

"I was writing some fanfiction and it got me wondering about the childhood relationship between Severus and Lily. I would only assume that they spent quite a bit, if not all of their time together during the summer in particular. That being the case, do you think Lily ever included Severus in some of her more feminine activities? If so, does the greasy git still know how to give a pedicure, do a french braid, and tell the difference between a pair of spring pumps and a pair of autumn ones?"

Stop looking at me like that. No, really. Can't you maybe see the two hanging out at her house, and Lily all, "Can you help me pick out an outfit for my cousin's wedding?" And Sev all, "IF THAT WOULD MAKE YOU HAPPY THEN OF COURSE I WOULD." Pathetic, but cute.

I guess to give you a peek into my fantastically fangirly and possibly/probably/admittedly delusional brain, I'll finally post the summer!fic. (My only two comments in advance are first about the monstrous Star Wars geeks I made the two of them into. Shoot me, please. Second, about the little part where Lily pats Severus on the head? If he weren't so down at that moment, he would surely have said, "I would prefer if you would refrain from petting me like a rabbit.")

Edit: BTW? I'm perfectly aware that Star Wars hadn't come out yet. I realized that after I had gotten all the ideas, and then I was just like, "screw it, I'll just put it in there anyway." =D

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"

 

lyricalecho

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.
