Won't be around forever, girl

Dear Hollywood.

I don't ask for much. Sometimes I get unbelievably excited for your movies, but most of the time, I just let you do your thing.

But I am asking you, begging you: omfg please cast Jensen Ackles as Finnick Odair in the Hunger Games series.

( WHAT YOU SAY )

I honestly don't want the Hunger Games trilogy to be made into movies, though. They're probably going to Hollywood-ize it to high heaven and ruin that feel that it has. I could be wrong; I hope so. Just... at LEAST cast people who are relative unknowns (I've seen a couple articles that have the audacity to suggest Taylor Butterface Lautner as Gale, which, UH, NO AND ALSO NO) and who aren't prolific. And I hope they don't have Katniss go the route of what I like to call the "Scarlett Johansson Action Movie Syndrome," where she's beautiful! and her hair never goes out of place! and she has boobs! and she kicks ass! Which, hey, there's nothing wrong with a hot girl kicking ass, but when the sexiness that they're flaunting begins to overcome her actual character? Not cool. But, I mean, Katniss is only sixteen, so I think they won't go that route, but still, aughhh, I wouldn't put it past anybody.

OPINIONS AND STUFF.

My friends should be here soon and then we're going to attempt to watch Run Lola Run. Last time we tried we ended up just putting on my dvd of MXC and talking for like, three hours. BUT I NEED HARDCORE GERMAN TECHNO MUSIC IN MY LIFE.

Lahve lahve lahve.

Rjfjasdjls cannot stop listening to Bats for Lashes.

I'm reading Slaughterhouse-Five for the first time. Can you believe I've never read any Vonnegut? HOW DID I GET MY ENGLISH DEGREE, I KNOW. Dean is more accomplished than me. :(

Tomorrow night I have a date with my boys out for sushi and then maybe? hopefully? finishing up season 2 of True Blood. I MUST RELAY TO YOU ALL MY ~FEELINGS~. Because I have a lot of them. Mostly regarding Sam (OMG SAM) and Hoyt and Jessica. ♥♥♥_♥♥♥

So a couple days ago I randomly heard good things about this book called Shiver, and yesterday I had the whole day to myself and the weather was beautiful, so, of course, I go to the bookstore, ahaha. I found the book and ended up reading 70 pages in the store before I was like, omg self, JUST GO BUY IT. So I did. And I could have finished it yesterday too if I hadn't gone to the movies. Aw I liked iiiiit. It's a YA book so, yeah, it's, you know, YA, and I KNOW what you're thinking, but as far as finding something to get totally engrossed in and have a good time with, it's really good. Need the sequel now pls.

Also saw Alice in Wonderland yesterday and it was good! Not super stupendously awesome, but I like it. I really love the Alice in Wonderland story, though, so. And all I could think of the whole time was American McGee's Alice, of which I am/was completely infatuated with.

Tomorrow it'll be three months since I moved home from Orlando. Weird, and yet awesome. Unfortunately I'm not... 100% happy with my job. I am very grateful that I HAVE a job and that it pays pretty well, but, sigh. It gets incredibly, INCREDIBLY boring more often than I'd like. Basically? I answer phones, scan papers, shred papers, and file, with little tasks here and there on the side. Mindnumbing. I wish I had projects, things I could accomplish and feel good about. And when I first started, I thought I was getting along well with my only other coworker besides my boss, but I seriously think now she's super annoyed with me, and is fake-nice to me more often than not. My boss is still really nice though, so, there's that. And my favoritest thing ever is taking the fall for them when I take a message for a client or another lawyer, and neither of them call the client/lawyer back, and I've had more than once the assumption that I was just ignoring or not sending the messages. Just the other day a client came in who... doesn't have the best personality, and both my boss and coworker straight up and completely obviously ignored her for a half an hour after their meeting was supposed to start. I was left alone in the front greeting area with a super annoyed client who was probably trying to kill me with her eyes. Ugh. It was seriously the most awkward thing ever. General duties of being an admin assistant, I guess.

It could be a lot, lot worse, I know, but by the end of the day I'm ready to punch myself in the face I'm so annoyed with being bored. Whatever, I guess. Just another thing to get through until I'm ready to blow this state.

From scary_lullabies and just passing the info along: This is quite possibly the most depressing news there ever was.

:(

Well, let's get to it, then.

( Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. )

I finished it up at around 12:30 last night and then had to be at work at 7:30 this morning, so that plus days previous of going to bed late and waking up early has made me SUPER EXHAUSTED. Ugh. I don't feel like doing anything.

And omg, things that make me STUPIDLY HAPPY, this fan report of the boys. ;LKJA;DLIAJSDF;LAIWEJA;!!1 Jensen waxing poetic about the Harry Potter phenomenon! JENSEN YOU NERD. And JARED being JARED and ugh, YOU GUYS, I love them so much. And guess what. GUESSWHATGUESSWHAT. I'll be seeing them in, OH, five days time, or so. WHAAAAAAAT.

Last night, just as I was falling asleep, I had the BESTEST IDEA EVER for an SPN fic. Sam and Dean are going to hate me, totally, but I am rubbing my hands together gleefully, HA HA.

And happy birthday to my lovely lovely aerinbrooke!! Hope your day was absolutely WONDERFUL, sweets! ♥!

Oh MAN, I got my final booklist today for my fall semester, and my Lit classes look something like this:

Brit Lit 1900-1945: 1984 (which I have already read and I KNOW I have, I just can't find it!) by Orwell, Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man, by Joyce, and Mrs. Dalloway by Woolf

British Novel, Conrad - Present: Orlando, and To the Lighthouse by Woolf, Passion by Winterson, and Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man again. Plus the anthologies for each class.

I have a feeling I'm going to be sick of James Joyce and Virginia Woolf come the end of the semester. Also, I don't see Heart of Darkness anywhere on here, but I wouldn't put it past them. I've heard the horror stories, you guys.

BUT I AM SO EXCITED. I really kinda. You know. Miss school.

As for right now, I cannot stop thinking about the fact that the boys started filming season three today (GLEE), and that Harry Potter will be over forever in approximately 36 hours. But I have installed Age of Empires II on my laptop, and that is really quite awesome.

Haha. Yay. YAY. I finished and set off my spn_summergen fic this morning. 8300+ words. HAHAHA. Good Lord. I myself can't post it until after the author reveal, because it is a SECRET omg, so y'all have to guess. Which, um, now might be easier, seeing as how I gave the word count. Heh.

And NOW I have this sort of companion piece I want to write ALREADY, and, um, it would be kind of porntastic and that makes me NERVOUS because I have never written such before. Except of the 100 word variety. I am so, SO utterly unqualified to write such things. SIGH.

I finished Twilight a few nights ago! It was good! Not, you know, mindblowingly spectacular, but entertaining and a ridiculously quick read. I'll probably get the sequal after I finish my huge ass book list for this summer, heh. Next is The Curious Incident of the Dog In the Nighttime. HOORAY.

HOW'S IT GOING FLIST. I went to the beach this afternoon, despite it being v. overcast. And now it is all sunny out. AUGH, FLORIDA. But now I am about to eat PIZZA and that makes me HAPPY.

( HI JENSEN HIIIII. )

I wroted a little piece here, "What Is and What Should Never Be" from Sam's perspective. GUYS. I cannot even explain how much I am still head over heals with this episode. It's absolutely killing me. And all the FIC that's come out of this episode, holy God. The possibilites are endless. I want to WRITE THEM ALL, or read them, or something because the angst level is absolutely off the charts with everything. My two favorites are kroki_refur's Door Number Two, which fucking broke me, and this piece which I accidently named the same, oops, heh. LOVE. I can't even remember how many times I've watched it now, ngk.

Both Twilight and Stardust came in the mail today! Also my Origins comic wee! I'm starting to think my parents are getting a little worried about me, SIGH.

If anyone wants to chat, hit me up at ohgodofprogress on AOL! <3

This morning we woke up to the stomping sounds of a good handful of peacocks on our roof.





They are rather loud.

I finally started The Time Traveler's Wife!! AMAZING. Seriously, how the heck does someone come up with this stuff? It's tiring out my brain and I'm not even 100 pages in yet. Heh.

I am three and a quarter pages done with my last final exam, with question mark to go, finally starting to get some bearing on question one out of three total, am sick of talking about the characteristics and ideals that make up the South. There is no set number of pages it needs to be, which, YOU KNOW. My midterm for this class was 9 pages and I got a B-, so, UH, I don't know.

Oh man, this is my newest favorite icon EVER. "Rodents? AAHH!" I LOVE IT.

So, can we just, for one moment, marvel at the fact that Jared Padalecki putting his hands on his hips equals near shirt rippage? Because guys, I cannot wrap my head around this. WHAT A FREAK.

Going over to Jimmy's house very soon to play Dutch blitz! Also, smoke cloves?? I hate smoking. A lot. But then I feel like the biggest hypocrite in the world because cloves taste so damn good. SO, okay, fine, I will draw the line at actually buying a pack. I'll just bum them off my friends, heh.

WHY did I pick The Sound and the Fury to write a critical paper on?! I love stream-of-conscious writing, I really do, but this is just nuts.

C'MON FLORIDA, SNOW. YOU KNOW YOU WANNA.
