So I dub thee Unforgivaaaaahhn. )

UM, so earlier, I had a really bad momentary stomach cramp, and I went to bend over slightly so I could get the blood back up to my head, because it was making me lightheaded, and the next thing I know I woke up passed on on the floor. Seriously, I... don't even. I hit my head pretty hard on my dresser on my way down, so I woke up completely and utterly confused with my head throbbing, my lip bit, and carpet burns on my knee. I am a veteran at passing out (happens pretty much every time I have to give blood), but frick, I was so weirdly out of it for a few seconds. The lump on my head is still hurty but not as bad as before, and it's all so absurdly ridiculous that I can't help but laugh. Plus, confirmation that my pain tolerance is still stupidly low HAHA YAY.

I leave you now with Alec, the love of my fucking life. Shh, don't judge, just enjoy.

Today I:

- went to work at 5am
- muddled through Chaucer
- uploaded this Alec icon (the lack of really good Dark Angel icons is upsetting, you guys)
- had the bipolar cat attack me AGAIN >:(
- talked to my adviser
- applied for Fall 2009 graduation



:D


(Also also Dorothy, I'm 50 pages in! Omg I love it! I keep forgetting that I'm, you know, trying to help you edit it! ;D)
LET'S DISCUSS. )

My little sister is all graduated! I can't believe it! She had a speech to give and did awesome! And yesterday and today was PANIC CITY as we got ready for her open house. My parents have been COMPLETELY rearranging everything with today as their deadline, painted nearly every wall and put up new wainscoat in the dining room, got bunches of new furniture and knickknacks and everything. But everything is just BEAUTIFUL now after the remodel. And today we probably had about 50 people over for the party, so it was nice.

I really really don't want to go back to my apartment tomorrow night, sigh. God I hate my job. I need a new one. Please please let me find a new one.

SO, my parents are watching True Lies, pretty much I need to go join them now. <3
I love, looooove Christmas music, so I thought I'd share a handful of versions of my favorite Christmas song.

Angels of Venice - Carol of the Bells A beautiful, traditional, instrumental version.
The Bird and the Bee - Carol of the Bells - Ugh, I ADORE The Bird and the Bee; their music is quirky and upbeat and gorgeous. This cover is no exception. I almost flailed a little when I heard it played at Starbucks a few days ago.
The Calling - Carol of the Bells - A little too pop-y for my tastes, but still pretty nice.
Celtic Women - Carol of the Bells - Not my favorite, but I'm a sucker for a gorgeous violin, ngh!
Claymation Christmas Celebration - Carol of the Bells - Heeee, oh man, watching this Christmas special - recorded on video tape sometime before 1990, what we still watch it on - is something we do every year. I KNOW other people had to have heard of it or seen it, right? It's seriously amazing. I even dug it up on youtube! This cover is awesome and one of my absolute greatest Christmas memories from growing up.
John Williams - Carol of the Bells - The ultimate, most traditional version of this song. From Home Alone. Come on! You know you've seen that movie like, 2039843 times.
Mae - Carol of the Bells - This is one of my all-time favorite covers. Mae has such a lovely, unique sound (or, had... their newest CD, not so much :(), and this version is just so, so fantastic.
Mannheim Steamroller - Carol of the Bells Oh MAN. Mannheim Steamroller. My dad is a huge fan, so I kind of grew up on them. Analog synthesizers from the 80's! You know you love it. Think of it as the Depeche Mode of the Christmas music genre, ahaha. I have such intense memories of this playing from when I was a kid and yeah, I still just, love it.
Thrice - Carol of the Bells - Again, not my favorite (not being a big fan of Thrice has something to do with it, I think) but I figure someone might appreciate it!

ETA: [livejournal.com profile] darth_snuggles threatened me if I didn't put this up too! Trans-Siberian Orchestra feat. Metallica - Carol of the Bells SO CHRISTMAS CAN ROCK YOUR FUCKING FACE OFF.

And there you have it! If anyone has any good Carol of the Bell covers they'd like to share, that would be aaaawesome, THANKS.

Oh, and HA, I have to upload this one too: Coldplay - A Ghost. A studio recording that's not very Christmas-y at first, but the end is just, augh, AUGH. I'm not gonna lie, this song makes me cry more often than not, especially now, not living at home anymore. But. It's beautiful.

Also, two years ago Damien Rice's 9 came out, which was my first Christmas at Starbucks, and it was one of the CDs featured during this time of year. That whole CD not only reminds me achingly of my old store and my old coworkers, but is also quite possibly one of the most beautiful, and one of my most top played CDs. "The Animals Were Gone," I mean. Just. Really.

So I pretty much sound and feel awful. My voice is almost completely gone (which made for an interesting 8 hour work day calling out drinks, let me tell you) and I've had coughing fits so hard I gagged and had tears running down my face. AWESOME, RIGHT. Fortunately I have tomorrow off, but I have to open again on Thursday. Hngg I really hope I feel better by then. :\

Dammit, all I wanna do is sit down with some Dark Angel fic, but all the good ones have been read. UGHH, WHY, WHY WITH THE SUCK. :(
Oh my goodness. I both love and hate the finale for Dark Angel. Okay, so that's not true. Mostly I love. But there are these THINGS. Like, ew, condom-hands Logan feeling up Max. That is never okay. I don't think I can possibly roll my eyes harder or hit the fast forward button fast enough every single time Logan and Max have an AAAAANGST session together. And, okay, LOGAN IN GENERAL. I cannot like the man, mostly because I'm tainted with the dislike of Michael Weatherly The Douchebox (yes, that's his full title), as per this gossip article at TWOP. FOR EXAMPLE:

No matter why he was written out, Lydecker wasn't in the finale because Michael Weatherly fucked everything up. Weatherly wanted to run in a marathon, so filming had to accomodate his schedule. Thanks to Weatherly rearranging the filming schedule, it conflicted with John Savage's schedule, so we got no Lydecker in the finale.


AND

Michael Weatherly was a complete and total douchebag. He was seriously insecure about Jensen Ackles. He felt the fans liked Jensen and Alec more than him and Logan and Alec had more interesting things to do than Logan (and he wasn't really wrong there). He would count his lines in front of the whole cast and if Alec had more lines than Logan, he'd demand a rewrite. He also demanded a rewrite of a couple scenes, like pool scene in "Borrowed Time." Alec was supposed to win that one, but Weatherly pitched a bitch. Stuff like that.


AND!!!

(About the finale)
Also, Cameron scrapped a bunch of Alec scenes/lines, which is never, ever okay. Oh, and if I recall correctly, he also added that part (at Weatherly's behest) about Logan saving Alec during the big fight scene at the end. Fucking ridiculous.


Okay, so I take with a teeeeeeny tiny grain of salt, but still. I MEAN, THAT LINE, IN THE SWAT VEHICLE AS THEY'RE DRIVING AWAY. "Dur hur, looks like that chick was beating your ass, Alec! I saved you! MAX DID YOU HEAR ME I SAVED ALEC WITH MY ROBO-LEGS BECAUSE I'M AWESOME." I wish Jensen would have rolled his eyes. That would have been awesome.

BUT can I just profess my undying love for Normal and Sketchy? There needs to be a spin-off called "Normal and Sketchy's Wacky Times at Jam Pony" guest starring Alec and his dumb antic every now and again. IT WOULD BE MY FAVORITE SHOW EVER, OKAY.

And oh my God, you guys, Aleeeeccc. I know, I know, I never shut up about it, but omg how can I love a character this much. I mean, there's Dean, and, you know how I feel about HIM, but then there's Alec, who simultaneously makes me suddenly lose my panties AND makes me emit high pitched noises of UTTER GLEE AND ADORABLENESS AND OF DYING ON THE INSIDE.

I am totally not ashamed to say that I would have killed for a season three, IF ONLY to see Max and Alec eat each other's faces on occasion, because you KNOW they were headed in that direction. Actually, that's pretty much all I'd care about. And, OKAY, Terminal City, fine. But the Breeding Cult needs to go die in a fire. Fast forward button, HELLO, HOW ARE YOU.

SIGH. )

Sometimes I really hate myself for being so in love with this stupid show. SOMETIMES.






SEPERATED AT BIRTH Y/Y??
I've been drinking with my boy coworkers before many times, last night and tonight actually. We have such a low turnover rate at our store we've become really close and I'm really really going to miss that. I've became an honorary "boy" a while ago because the boys love working with me so much because I don't give them shit and I don't call them out for their guy talk, which they do A LOT. I'll just sit there, amused and shake my head and laugh or something and they really really like working with me, which is just nice to hear. We went out tonight with two boys who I won't get to see on my last day of work tomorrow and I gave them both hugs and they both said dirty things to me, yeah, drink that beer, I'll leave the money on the dresser for you baby! and I threatened to punch them in the balls, so all was normal. I just like the fact that I was accepted within them because I really DON'T give a shit and they made me laugh even they did say something ridiculously inappropriate, so yeah. Gonna miss that a lot.

Not really maudlin, just thinking. I think I've finally come to terms in closing a chapter of my life, I guess, but we'll see how my last night goes tomorrow. I might get all weepy which would be EMBARRASING.

Also Chrissy and I watched Pollo Loco together TODAY over the phone HAHAA. We made fun of JEssica Alba and made stupid noises whenever CRAZY KILLER BEN made his apparence, ALSO WITH THIS. I need a bigger cap of that STAT because that whole scene was hotter than it should be. MMMMMMM.

I STILL HAVEN'T DOWNLOADED COLDPLAY HAHAHA. I can't decide. I'M LAME I KNOW.
Today a friend and I drove to Hyde Park, which is a cute little section of town in Tampa. They have an Anthropologie! Of course I shopped. I bought this pretty little iron hook to hang my purse or whatever for my new apartment. If I was made of money? I would be there twenty-four seven. AUGH.

And then we got pizza and beer at this pizza place that only had an outdoor patio. Buffalo chicken pizza! Who would have thought. It's already IMPOSSIBLY hot outside, though, so we only walked around for twenty minutes before we thought we were gonna DIE, so. Ugh, summer.

Tomorrow morning I'll be driving over to Orlando to bring a few boxes and sign my lease. OH MAN. I only have three more shifts at my job. This is the last week in my house that I've lived in for 21 years. I can't believe this is actually finally HAPPENING.

Okay, so. UM. Does anyone have that picture of Jensen and Jessica Alba where they're just talking? I think they were at an award show or something? I KIND OF LOVE IT. Just a little. SIGH. I mean, I'd rather bludgeon puppies with a stick than pretend that they were together, but, I DUNNO. I just really like it. ALSO, I'm kind of in love with Max/Alec UST fics. IN THE WORST POSSIBLE WAY. Tell no one. I only shame myself.
the what i like about you meme | my thread

Help me put another coat of shellac over my emo! OH YEAH.

In other news, I've decided that Hello, Goodbye on Dark Angel is my happyplace episode. It's signifacntly lacking in retardedness, Logan gets dumped on his ass, Max and Alec angst TOGETHAR about Ben, and Alec in general makes my insides WITHER AND DIE what with the FACE-HOLDING and being all tender with Max and lkfjaweoiajfdj. GOD. LIKE THAT, YEAH.

ETA: DED.
:D :D I finally registered for WinCon yesterday, EEE. HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY.

Also, I came up with the AWESOMEST IDEA EVER for making up for missing my sister's 18th birthday, which'll be during WinCon time. Okay, so, my aunt and my cousin will sometimes fly up to Chicago O'Hare for one day - leave reeeeaally early in the morning and come in late at night that same day - through Southwest 'cause they usually have cheap specials to fly up there. Then they spend the whole day shopping/eating/WHATEVER, and my sister and I have been wanting to do this for a while so I was like, UH. PERFECT. I'm not gonna tell her, I'll just be like, take off this day, DON'T MAKE ANY PLANS WHATSOEVER. And then like, a week before we go, I'll surprise her the tickets. I still feel kinda bad, because it's kinda like bribery but WHATEVER, she'll flip her lid. Plus, I get to go to Chicago TOO, win-win situation. Oh man. I'm kind of a genius.

Oh man oh man YOU GUYS, these places are where I might be LIVING IN A FEW MONTHS. !!!!! Of course, that's a big ol' MIGHT, as someone might snatch them up first, they might be what they seem on the intarwebs, etc etc, but whatever, OHH GOD. There's gonna be five of us splitting costs, so even on that last one we'd only be paying $399 a month, just for rent. Ajfjejsljkd. Ungghh I get all tingly just thinking about it.

I've promised myself some Dark Angel watching when I get done with my paper and I'm so CLOSE but my attention keeps wandering ahaha. Hemingway does not understand my love for Alec, I GUESS.

Also, this icon is epic. Don't even try to deny it.
THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS.

All of a sudden, out of the blue, I am just all !!!alsdjls DARK ANGEL!! and I'll watch a few episodes and want to kill myself because of its HORRIBLENESS and then, oh, OH, LOOK IT'S ALEC, LOOK AT HOW ADORABLE HE IS. And then I stoop the deepest bowels of the internet to try to find good fic that I haven't read already five million times over and oh, the depths I have sunk to, I can't even tell you. There really should be an archive of good fic, if there isn't one already. I WILL SO MAKE AN ARCHIVE, because this shit is bananas.

Oh SPN fandom. I am so, so spoiled because of you. *Cling*

I fully intend to register for [livejournal.com profile] winchestercon within the next few days, I am just ANGSTING on how to tell my sister, as it'll be her 18th birthday on the 18th of October. Should I let her know now, or drop the bomb later after I move to Orlando? I feel like such a horrible siiister, and I've really got to cook up something amazing to make it up to her. Like calling up John Krasinski and asking him to drop in and wish her a happy birthday. YAH OK.

Oh man, there's this guy who comes in at work quite often now and gets a doppio for here and he kinda just sits around for a while sometimes and unghghsld he's so CUTE. He looks kind of exactly like Sufjan Stevens, so, uh, that's probably why. I am always a little extra smiley when he brings back the doppio cup heeee. *Lame*

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN RATHER FOND OF THIGH MEAT. Ommmm nom nom nom.
MY ECCENTRICITES, LET ME SHOW U DEM. )

I cannot even tell you how utterly GORGEOUS it was today. Stayed around 55, clear blue skies, sunny. I drove all the way home from Tampa, on the INTERSTATE, with my windows down and blasting Zeppelin, because it was just that kind of day. AUGH. I wish it was like this ALL THE TIME.

New stills from Heart! EEEP JARED. ♥

And my Radiohead tickets came in the mail today! YEEEE! I cannot waaaait.

I think I'm gonna go watch some Dark Angel. TELL NO ONE.

OH, and aww, the comments on the Testimonial meme! You guys are AWESOME. <3
Lit of the World since the Renaissance is going to be fun, even though I have to go over Mrs. Dalloway AGAIN, AAUUGHH, and "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" and man, as much as I like Eliot, I'm kinda tired of that. Oh well. I'm with one of the same professors as last semester, so at least I know what I'm getting in to.

My Mythology professor is a quirky, grey-haired old guy; exactly the kind of person you'd expect to teach Mythology and Latin. I am excited about this class. I am not excited about the fact that I cannot seem to get away from freshmen. The stupidity burns, I'm not even kidding.

So, um, HEY GUYS. I'm kind of a genius. Let me explain.

This weekend, before I left to go out of town, I saw that a new chapter of a fic was up, but I didn't have any time to read it. I was all sadface until, driving down the road a bit later, I realized, dude, I should be able to put that as a text file on my iPod! There's a "Note" section that pretty much takes care of all text uploaded on to it, so why not use that? And oh yes, it has worked.

Instructions under here! )

I haven't had a chance to read [livejournal.com profile] kroki_refur's "One Moment of Knowing That," so I went ahead and uploaded that, so here's the link! Just as a reference, this fic is about 7000 words, and the uploader automatically divided it into 10 seperate files. The files themselves are all really small anyway, so it shouldn't be that difficult to maybe even put a 10,000+ word fic on your iPod. Winnnn.

Pimp this out? Spread the word? MAYBE? I personally am ecstatic about this (take your porn with you on long trips and in between classes!), and I thought others might benefit from this as well, hee.

And now if I could just put down the DA fic. COME ON SARAH, PUT IT DOWN. I can't! Alec is too amazing! WAH.
Yaaay, Christmas! It was good times, even if it was in the mid 70's all day. Dammit.

MY STUFFS:

- THIS CAMERA Ajafwoijafs. Oh man I almost cried. It's so PRETTY. I've been pretty much playing with it nonstop and trying not to drool all over it. THE ZOOM IS SO AMAZING. Examples! )
- a 2 gig memory chip to go with the camera
- POTC 3
- jewelry and makeup from my sis
- Best Buy and Victoria's Secret giftcards (nerdy meet sexy??)
- over-the-ear headphones with cushiony goodness oh MAN I'm so excited to use those Radiohead here I coooommmee

And a couple other odds and ends. Mostly there was just lots and lots of eating. Nommmm. Green bean casserole is God's gift to mankind.

Today I cleaned out my room and closet bigtime. Like, let's throw away stuff to make it look like a thirteen-year-old does not live here kind of clean. I reeeaaally want to redecorate my room with all stuff from Urban Outfitters. HA HA. Alas, I am not rich enough. Maybe piece by piece? I could do that. Totes.

Mmph, I'm feeling the need to travel again. I bought a map today, gonna put it on a cork board or something, and put in little push-pins of everywhere I've been to. It makes me happy just thinking about it. Spring Break, maybe.

K, back to reading DA fic. Alec makes me do FLAIL HANDS.

Aleeeeec.

Dec. 20th, 2007 02:58 am
:D )

Am a tiiiiny bit tipsy. Have realized I look much better in winter clothes than summer clothes. Am very lonely and miss certain people who need to come visit me VERY SOON, preferrably like, now. April is so far awaaaay.

Also, I pretty much bought Dark Angel S2 on DVD on Monday. It was under $20 homg. Am falling head over heels for this kid's stupid face like, really really bad:



People should just get me bottles of Jack Daniel for Christmas. That would be really really good.
Aww, you guyyys, thank you so much to the anonymouses for your kind words in the Holiday Love Meme. You're making me all flustered. *Hides!*

Mweee HI ALEC HIII. So yeah, I'm uh. Probably going to get S2 soonish. Not that I can ask for it for Christmas, or anything, because my family will probably be like GOD WHAT THE HELL AREN'T YOU OVER THIS STUFF YET. And then I'll be like, if by "this stuff" you mean fandom in general HA HA OH MAN, I'm thinkin' neverish. Except they don't have any clue what "fandom" means so, *hands!* You see my problem.

Holy crap I'm so excited for this week's Supernatural it's kind of KILLING me. Five bucks says this'll make on to my yearly rotation for must-see Christmas specials. It'll fit nicely in between It's a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Story. :D :D

Thus far for finals week(s) I've written 18 total pages for papers and had my killer European History final this morning. Just got 5 more pages to write and I'm HOME FREE. School is like never ending torture, swear to God. I've only been at it 15 YEARS. Gosh.
To [livejournal.com profile] elrina753 and [livejournal.com profile] regala_electra: I hate you both so bad. So bad. Omggggg.

So, um, yeah. For the few of you out there who have yet to see it, the extremely awesome [livejournal.com profile] elrina753 (♥!) uploaded The Berrisford Agenda, the Alec-centered episode in Dark Angel. Too bad I won't be able to hear all the mocking because I'll be too busy squealing into my fists OKAY.

And well, hey, while I'm link-dropping, Radiohead - In Rainbows Bonus Disk. Yeah. YEAH. I love them so muuuuch. Apparently they're putting tickets out already for a UK/EU tour so that means they're coming to the US, RIGHT? They have to. Someone tell them I'll be more than willing to drop a ridiculous amount of money to see them. PRETTY MUCH.

For the first time in a forever I finally went to the movies and saw Enchanted. Aww! It was so cute, even if Patrick Dempsey is kind of repulsive. For some reason, going to the movies always seems to leave me with fun little migraines afterwards, though. Gah.

And also, I can't seem to stop watching this video. SO GREAT.
Oh man. You guys. We might have a problem.

You see, the past two days I've pretty much been reading an embarrassing amount of Dark Angel fic. I KNOW okay umm. Dammit, I just hit the button OKAY, I didn't know what I was getting myself into. All Alec-centered, obviously, you think I'd be sitting here reading about Jessica Alba? Bitch please. BUT UM. *HANDS* ALEC, OKAY. He's kind of. Guys I have no words. I'm so smitten. HE'S SO ADORABLE?? All of the fic's really been by one central author, because I'm sure the badfic out there in that fandom is RAMPANT. My knowledge of the interworkings of the show is sparse at best as, haha, pretty much I've watched nearly all of the Alec-only scenes and then saw a few episodes on the Sci-fi channel, so. The show itself is, um. Rather terrible. Pretty much it should have been all about Alec. AM I RIGHT. )

I suspect Jensen Ackles might have something to do with this.

So yeah, go on, throw any links of good DA fic in my general direction that anyone might have, just, you know, Alec-centered with zero slash pls. Also ummm if anyone so happens to have The Berrisford Agenda? Homg don't make me do grabby hands. Or any other clips uploaded anywhere that aren't fucking fanvids. Any support for my crack habit, you know how it goes.

Okay, I'm done shaming myself.
Ohhh yeeeaaahh, pretty much had this dream last night about Dark Angel AHAHAH. We were at this place where it was crawling with people, and some of them were playing soccer on a concrete ground, and me and Alec were like, "AWESOME," and we played, but I kept tripping because the ground was concrete. I DON'T KNOW. And then something happened, I can't remember, but me, Alec, Max (Jessica Alba you are NOT ALLOWED in my dreams ever again, okay?), and some other people of whom I had NO idea were wandering around this facility, and then! We open a door just in time to see Normal die! Strangled, or something, I think. And then dream!self was like, "Huh, I'm not too shattered by this, really, but if I cry hard enough maybe someone will ~*~comfort~*~ me." And so I BAWLED, and what do you know, Alec took me in his arms and I smooshed my face in his chest. And that was the extent of that. But guys! I am devious in my dreams! This is kind of amazing.

We were going to take my parents to see Transformers tonight, but just as we got to the theater, a huuuuge storm came through and knocked out all the damn power at the theater! WHAT THE HELL. I was, and am still, pretty disappointed. I mean, Transformers, okay, I think I had a right to be. Augh.

I played around with an iPhone today at the Apple store and I want one really really bad now omg. It is so PRETTY.

I still have no idea if I'm going to the Deathly Hallows midnight thingy. I get out of work at 11:30, I don't think I have anyone to go with, I won't be able to each crack it open until after 4:00 the next day because I have to WORK all friggen' morning, so, argh. I suppose I should, just because it'll be the LAST TIME EVER. I am so sad, you guys. :(((

Please someone tell me WHY must I like h/c so much. An;alskdjas. :(!
I went with my mom to the beach for a swim tonight around sunset, and it was one of the most gorgeous sunsets I've ever seen. Of COURSE I forgot my camera. And I don't think there was a green flash. In any case, Will Turner did not show up to have some hot beach lovin'. :(((

SO, SPN/Transformers. I'll go ahead and take my Serious Amounts of Nerd badge now.

I NEED THIS SHIRT LIKE BURNING. AHAHA oh it is so PERFECT. I am xindiecorex! BETCH.

I just finished watching all the Jensen-only clips on Dark Angel. I AM REALLY IN LOVE WITH ALEC OKAY. I'll just go ahead and admit that now. Omg his HAIR. :>!!!

GUYS, let us discuss the marvelousness of these new pictures. Specifically this one. Hoooooly crap. He looks like he's about to cut a bitch very sexily. AND, AND. this one!! Mommy Winchester! Carmen and Dean in the background! I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

So far I have burned The Office season 1 for three people at work. Plus, a few of us have matched characters to the people we work with, ahaha. It makes for good times.

ETA: NOTE TO SELF, do start watching Flight of the Concords. It seems like a sin not to. And, haha, um, does anyone know where I could find downloads or streaming?
