So I made a random artsy video! Yes, it was an excuse to play with the effect filters. XD

...wow. I mean, I'd heard this thing was bad, but I never imagined it could be THIS bad. Wookies talking for 20 minutes was just the tip of the iceberg, if you call all that ear-bleedingly bad roaring talking. I feel for Star Wars fans everywhere. And George Lucas, poor guy.

(I did like the Bea Arthur scene, though. I'd watch again if the special was all about her and her bar.)


sorry Queenie, I know this was posted OMG JUST AFTER YOURS!!! but I'd meant to do it earlier and got sidetracked and besides, Christmas is all about sharing, right? So let's share the pain! :D

yuletide story = DONE @_@ Writing the second part was much easier than the first, lol.

irchance is coming home tomorroooooow for two weeks ;w;!! In the meantime, I have an entire house to clean. sob.

If anyone's got a Formspring, I signed up for one because I think it's neat ;A; Mine is here:

Feel free to ask whatever; silly or serious |D I like answering questions ahaha. Although I'm horrible at coming up with ones, so if you get one, please excuse my googled questions |D;;

On a random note, I've been in a 00 mood again lately. Apparently so much that last night, my weird enough dream involved entirely 00 characters. :]

anon meme.

I'mma do that meme when I have a little more time, I'm about to spend the day with my granny and my little cousin. But this will be a good day, because my little cousin is ADORABLE and socute and aaaaaaah I get to play with her today ;;

She is so inquisitive and curious and wants to know about EVERYTHING but she asks in such a cute way that it's not annoying at all. Like one time, we were taking Buster for a walk, and she pointed at a yard full of violets and said "What's that?" and I said "They're flowers. What color are they?" and she said "PINK! :D" and even though she was wrong it was just so precious. If I ever have a kid, I want it to be like her.

lol the last time I saw her I taught her to say 'no u!' I'm going to teach her to play the air guitar today.

Also, snowmen. Snowmen.

I don't even care what the anon is saying, urchinmoppet and second anon's replies just depressed the shit out of me.

Just.

Stop it, okay, society? Stop encouraging people to hate on the overweight, I don't CARE if you think whiny fat people are annoying and need to cut down on the food and get on the treadmill, THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT OKAY TO TREAT PEOPLE LIKE THEY'RE LESS THAN HUMAN FOR NOT HAVING PERFECT BODIES.

And while we're at it can we also stop assuming that just because a person is overweight they're a lazy slob who does nothing but eat?

Anyone remember this entry? And how I said I was going to write a fic based on that dream?

Five years later, I did it.

...I was right the last time I saw this ep. Mayor West picked up a copy of "The Garbage Pail Kids" movie! XD

OH AND IT'S SNOWING, YAY~~~~ *opens curtains*

Icon shop is closed. Thanks for all your requests, I'll be posting 'em at fireandwind within the next week!

In unrelated news, Pleasantville will never stop being epic amazing no matter how many times I watch it. *nods*

"MY CABBAGES!"

So I found some moar Seisen manga scanslations on Serenes Forest... :D They've got up to v2 ch12.

I. LOVE. Oosawa's art style. @_@ Like...seriously. Especially the way she draws hair, and I gotta confess manga!Sigurd is WAY hotter than his gamesprite, and Fury is beautiful. And Arden in the manga is a HUGE improvement over the game, he's more plain and sorta rugged and less LOL FRANKENSTEIN

( Plot stuff )

Earlier today, I told my brother we should probably do some cleaning today, since I just had a feeling that today would be the day that my mommy would start whining about it, even though we've been doing so much lately, including cleaning! But a lot of our energy has gone to decorating as well as the usual stuff, so even before it was going to happen, I was already a little :\ about it.

However, it was one of those days where we were both feeling pretty tired. His friend just arrived today for his home visit, so he went to go see him for a bit, and when he came back, we decided to watch Ponyo. (SO CUTE, BTW.) My mommy was out with my little sister to some like... uh, skater mom party or something, but they came home when we were in the middle of the movie. My mommy started complaining about all the cleaning that needs to be done.

She wasn't really yelling, and it wasn't like when she just up and explodes about it, so that was good, but I can just never really take it too easily when she basically claims that I don't do anything around here when I'm pretty much in charge of everything. Anyway, she was saying how she's so embarrassed because my little sister's friends were like "We want to clean your house for Christmas!!!!!" and she's like "Oh my God even 14 year old girls can tell our house needs cleaning!" and when I tell her it's... really a lot better and actually manageable now; it's just that we've been busy so I haven't had the time to thoroughly get to everything, she says the house has never been vacuumed or dusted. I have to wave over to my arsenal of cleaning supplies, because YEAH. IT HAS. A LOT. BY ME. But yes, I am the only one in the house to do so, and you know what? I just really physically cannot do everything. My energy's lacking enough lately as it is.

Anyway, despite my ranting, I'm not really upset or anything since, like I said, she wasn't yelling and she did drop the subject for now and let us finish the movie. (Usually, she will keep saying the same things over and over and over and over again for like an hour kdlfj-- Oh but once she left, I was totally like "I TOLD YOU SO" to my brother ahaha) And when we did finish, I was actually feeling all right so I started to do some work, since I'm really more of a night person anyway and I just... like working when she's not constantly bothering me.

AND I DID AWESOME. And then!! I came upstairs to check to see if miraculously the last episode of Nyan Koi was out by gg since I did so awesome and was totally deserving of that before going to bed and--!

It came out *w*

Which makes me feel even better since I'm easily moved by such simple things! :'D

EDIT::

SEASON TWO YESSSSSSSSS!!

So here's my day in a nutshell:

*Went to the mall and got a big bag of Lindt truffles, cause only they have raspberry and peanut butter. Omnomnom~

*Saw my nutritionist, and her new office digs.

*Holiday shopping! I went to discount/department stores because after gambling, souveniers and this month's big food shopping I didn't have a ton of cash. They DO have good quality stuff, I even doublechecked to make sure things were made well...and yet I still worry I'm a cheap bitch because even if the bad talk is exaggerated it's so ingrained into society that if you even think of buying presents there you're a horrible person and should be ashamed.

Speaking of holiday shopping...I fucking hate how people drive this time of year. Rushing and honking and just generally being obnoxious, ugh.

*Don't wear dress shoes if you're gonna do a lot of walking. D: I thought my strappy Mary Jane flats could cut it, but nope!

*So before the cruise I packed my pink DS lite with Pokemon Diamond, and when I got it out later the cartridge was missing! I tried airport lost and found, searched my room...and found it in my white DS lite. *falls over* I didn't even think of that! XD But I've got it and I'm happy, so yay.

*Does anyone else remember a book called Not Quite TV Guide? From 1983, it's a slimmed-down parody of TVG with lots of dirty innuendo and dumb jokes, it was awesome. I had a copy when I was in 8th grade but I lost it, and a few days ago I ordered another one used from Amazon. It's just as good as I remember it!

*Tomorrow's my last class! ...I should probably get started on that take-home final. And finish the last of my Journalism assignments too.

...and this weekend I need to get cracking on my yuletide fic. *falls over some more*

I want to do a Four Tempraments meme. ...scratch that, tomorrow I think I WILL make the meme. *nods*

Oh look, I remembered I've got an icon comm. 90 icons total, not counting the ones I wanted to post but didn't make it in (I was intending to put in Seisen icons as well), so I'll most likely be making a post tomorrow as well.

Chapter 5's ending still punches me in the gut every damn time.

Stolen from enough_space. Because I totally steal memes from people I just friended. :|b

1) Make a list of 15 characters.
2) Assign each character a number.
3) Without telling anyone who's on the list or the character's assigned number, get questions from your flist about what they'd like to know about them, e.g. "If 3 and 4 were trapped in a cave together with only a blanket and a toothpick, what would they do?" (The more random the better!)
4) Post the answers and who was who on the list.

So have at! I'll answer the questions later this week.
