Things!

1. Radiohead concert was on Wednesday. There aren't even words. The seats were amazing. Everything was amazing. Thom Yorke dances like no one is watching. )

2. My laptop is in a shop, siiiigh. A few days ago I had it on, went to take a shower, came back, and the screen was completely black even though the computer was still running. Long story short, it's not the backlight, which I thought it might be, it's something else that will cost a lot less, thank God. I can either pick it up today or Monday, depending on if it get's done in time, and I'm crossing fingers and toes that it'll be today. I've had that thing since 2006 and it's still chugging along (with minor issues, of course), so I'd hate to shell out another $400+ for another laptop.

3. I know I keep talking about this every couple of months, but yeah. Moving. I want to do it. I really really want to do it. I keep feeling drawn to Portland, OR, so I've been doing some researching and it seems very doable. Exactly the type of climate I want, an awesome food culture, a mere few hours drive to gorgeous mountains, Seattle, Vancouver (!!!), the ocean if I miss it (lol not likely), and all the bands I want to see go there ALL THE TIME DAMMIT. Plus [livejournal.com profile] whispered_theme, whom I love and adore, is there, and knowing someone who lives in a city you're completely new to definitely raises the awesome factor. I've been looking on Craigslist - yes yes, I know, please spare me the lecture - for rooms for rent in houses, and I feel really optimistic about the results. Of course I'm only interested in people who are really freaking detailed in who they are and what everything with the room for rent would entail. January 2013 would be when anything happens, if it does, so, idk. We'll see!
1. Misha Collins and his offspring are life ruiners who ruin lives:



2. Oh dear. Going to see Harry Potter again tomorrow night with my friends who STILL haven't seen it. I wonder if I could go for the ultimate this time and hyperventilate myself into passing out from crying too hard. SHUT UP DON'T JUDGE ME SOMETIMES I CRY HARD.

3. I am a life failer and will continually fail at life and be a receptionist forever and never find my path or my career and never make more than 15K a year and will have to settle for horrible jobs because I don't even know what I WANT to do with my life much less get in to whatever jobs I end up wanting and bawww woe is me forever. PS, being an adult is dumb.
Lady Gaga concert on Saturday was absolutely smashing. So much fun. She has this stage presence that's just... so awesome. Not that that's news. I think my favorite was You and I, a new song on her upcoming album. And when Bad Romance came on, you damn well better believe I got on my heels and danced the sexy dance. Or at least attempted to. Ahh good times.

YESTERDAY I was leaving work, and I noticed the wonderfully overwhelming stench of gasoline, which filled me full of dread, as I have smelled it before under such circumstances, and it's never a good thing. Parked, got out, looked behind my car, and yep, gasoline, leaking out EVERYWHERE. Basically, squirrels have once again chewed through my gas line. This is the THIRD TIME this has happened, which is so dumbfoundingly STUPID it's almost hilarious. Per last time when this happened, I didn't start my car again, as gas could have been flying all over the engine which eventually equals me dying in a fireball. So I left it there and had my dad come pick me up. We had it towed to our mechanic this morning, and apparently it's going to take A WEEK to get the replacement part. Oh lol. But the good news is that it might cost me less than $250 dollars this time.

Stupid fucking squirrels. WHY WOULD YOU CHEW ON A GAS LINE. WHY. Does it have delicious flavor? WELL, no, apparently where I park is close enough to where people from another office feed them, so of course they're so dumb that they gnaw on whatever else is closest, including expensive car parts that have gasoline coating them. OKAY. Gaaahh rage rage rage.

But, everything was made a bit better by my friend texting me and saying she found a REALLY good deal on, uh, hot air ballooning! Lol no really. We've been thinking about doing it for a while, and it was a good deal, so I bought a ticket, lulz. HOT AIR BALLOONING. Who would've thought. We'll be doing it some time next month!

Alsoooo I know I totally had a fit about it on twitter, but I must flail about it here too because OH GOD IT'S SO CUTE. )

Tonight is definitely a "scour youtube for best-of-Rifftrax clips" kinda night. Good Lord, really, The Last Airbender? It was painful even WITH the commentary for just ten minutes.


LET ME DIE

BEST BIRTHDAY WEEKEND EVER TBH
Coworker and I finally had a miniature throw down. Aka, work rant. )

In other WAY BETTER NEWS, happy birthday to my favoritest [livejournal.com profile] regala_electra QUEEN OF DISNEY WORLD and the Time Warp. I would force a hug on you if you were not roughly 320948 miles away. ♥

Also, this video? THIS VIDEO. HEARTS IN MY EYES FOREVER, OKAY.
The fun never stops. Nor do my issues lol.

So last week my boss gave me a sheet to fill out to get health insurance, which, YAY! I've been uninsured since I finished school last December. And then she says, "But it won't kick in until April." ACK. I'm leaving for Europe on March 8th, so that won't do. So now she's expecting the form back by the end of this month, and obviously I can't give it to her and then go "lol jk I'm leaving for Europe in March." So that means I'll have to tell her about my trip earlier than I wanted to. Which now leads me to stress over....

What do I tell her when I tell her? I've been stressing and stressing about it, and my dad came up with a pretty good idea. Since I'm not entirely sure I want to move out of state just after coming back from Europe, I thought, you know, it would be nice (though quite unlikely) if I could come back to my job after getting back from Europe. So the idea would be to tell her, I've got this great opportunity to go to Europe for three weeks that I can't not take advantage of. If you still want me back after the three weeks, awesome, but if you need to hire someone else to take my spot, I totally and completely understand. That way I'm putting it out there, but not quitting yet entirely. Unfortunately, ANY kind of confrontation is my Achilles heel, but either way, it's got to be discussed.

Not to even mention the fact that my boss put on the calendar for tomorrow a whole hour set aside for an "office meeting." All other previous "office meetings" between myself, my boss, and my coworker have basically been a stripping down of everything I'm doing, and critiquing it with an audience and saying what I need to do to improve. Sounds helpful, but it's really not. Ugh. Whatever. 50 days until Europe. Whatever happens, I just gotta make it until then.

ANYWAY, a much better topic: the Con this weekend omgggg. Here's a great article of the breakfast (with some UHMAZING hi-def pics of Jensen, ohgod), and this one of the panel. AND THINGS AND STUFF:

- A WESTERN EPISODE IF YOU HEARD SHRIEKING IT WAS ME. I may actually die of sheer stupid glee.
- Jensen listens to Broken Bells and is a not so closet hipster.
- Jensen watches The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Jared watches Jersey Shore. Somehow I am completely not shocked.
- Jensen speaking to someone in Portuguese I need this video I need it I need it
- Someone else bring up “Pudding!” Both Jared and Jensen say that one has stuck around and the crew uses it constantly when things go wrong. They’ve got some mileage over that one. AHAHAHA I love it.
- This video in which Jensen talking about football is like porn to me. UNGHHH. Let's just go to a bar and watch football together and drink beer okay guys.

I now leave you with the most beautiful video you will ever see in your entire life.

AHHHH

So my friends were over earlier, and seeing as how we had just finished watching Monsters, Inc., we were dicking around youtube for other animated movies made way back in the day that we remembered. Stumbling across The Rescuers, and The Rescuers Down Under made me super happy and incredibly nostalgic omg. Also, Fievel Goes West.



Seriously intense nostaglia aaaaahh! This part is my favorite favorite favorite, and made mini-me laugh myself sick. ALSO WYLIE WAS PLAYED BY JIMMY STEWART WHAT?! It makes it that much more amazing. And the villain is slightly less villainous, knowing now that he's played by John Cleese.

Oh Don Bluth. Expert at both creating and terrifying the memories of my childhood.

Tomorrow my mom and I are going to a nearby state park/natural spring to look for manatees. Seeing as how the ocean is about 55 degrees right now, all the manatees come chill inland in the springs, as the springs stay a constant 70/75 degrees. Sea cows! HOW FUN.
Omg QUICKLY before I leave for a friend's house:

Theory on Why Sam Is the Way He Is and spoilers from an interview from the Con this weekend )

Also, I have to link this, I CANNOT STOP WATCHING IT. Jared falling on the floor, and MISHA'S IMPRESSION, I love it so much I can't even handle myself.

COMIC CON? COMIC CON. Spoilers for SPN season six up in hurr. )

UM UM UM AND THEN SOMEONE UPLOADED 3 MINUTES OF THE GAG REEL:



(A download link in case it gets taken down!)

AND I JUST HAVE TO CAPSLOCK ABOUT IT FOREVER, BRB )

And with that, I must somehow to go sleep and do irl things tomorrow, like work. So lame. CREEPER!MISHA SAYS GOODNIGHT!

My Dutch-ness is super sad the Netherlands lost the world cup. :((( SIIIGH, I guess 2nd place will have to do.

So let's talk music, won't us?

I have had this freaking song stuck in my ALL WEEKEND. This one too. The original being this double rainbow all the way vid, and seriously, I've watched all 3 vids tons of times and now I cannot. stop. laughing. WHAT DOES THIS MEEEAN.

My BFF Jimmy (who I watched all 3 vids with over and over) came over and we had a music exchange, plus I had some of my own new music, SO I MUST SHARE BECAUSE ILU:

Empire of the Sun - Standing on the Shore Such a beautiful song. Jimmy showed me the music video which is crazy and delightful, so it kind of went from there. Will have to get more of their stuff, I think.

CC Adcock & The Lafayette Marquis - Bleed 2 Feed Mmm, True Blood. MMM True Blood soundtrack! To me, this song is the aural version of everything True Blood made into a song. SO good.

Gorillaz - Rhinestone Eyes I lovelovelove Gorillaz. I don't know why it took me so long to get their new album. This song is delicious. Reminds me of summer, for some reason. MAKES ME WANT TO DANCE OMG.

Also, Jimmy's kind of hobby of sorts is remixing songs and making mashups. They're kind of awesome:
Supermassive Bad Romance (Muse's Supermassive Black Hole and Gaga's Bad Romance)
Britney Spears - If U Seek Amy (remix)
The Beatles - Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite (remix)
Empire of the Sun - Walking on a Dream (remix)

YOU SHOULD DOWNLOAD THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE REALLY GOOD AND FUN OK.

ALSO, while perusing the FFA on ontd_spnparty like I do almost every Sunday night, there were pictures of Misha from his episode of Charmed and I was all, LOL CHARMED and also, gasp! I haven't seen that yet.

So I looked it up.



AHAHA OMG he's so LITTLE and has a LITTLE VOICE and it reminds me SO much of looking back on Jensen's stint on Dark Angel. IT DELIGHTS ME SO. Also may I say again, LOL CHARMED. So adorable omg.

My sister and I started watching Psych from the beginning! This delights me also. UGHH that's why I'm late for bed now. Do not waaaant to go back to work tomorrow. :(
So work is all kinds of adjectives, like frustrating and boring and WOW, I never get tired of getting talked down to, whether from clients or from my own coworker, because being the receptionist, I clearly have the mental capacity of a 10 year old. But, again, I really shouldn't complain, so I'll just say in summation: 1) I'm glad I have a job 2) but I still wish I weren't a useless tool and could actually use my college degree in something I could maybe possibly if it isn't too much trouble enjoy doing.

But anyway, work. I was there today! And I was on ONTD, because I like I said, boring. And there was this post, and I don't think I've tried so hard not to laugh in my life. Like, with tears and lip biting. Not even because of the videos, but because of the comments. And then there was THIS GIF and I almost had an aneurysm and peed my pants because THAT VIDEO WILL NEVER NOT MAKE ME CRY LAUGHING.

And then I showed my parents and there was also crying laughter, so, GOOD LUCK:



Lol omg.

SUPERNATURAL ANIME. I... have avoided anime, but apparently now I will not. I don't even care if it's the most ridiculous thing ever, IT WILL BE FUN AND PRETTY AND ETC. :DDD

I've decided to go to the beach tomorrow after work, which is totally smart, because the high tomorrow is 95 oh God, but I have to go all by myseeeelf. SOMEONE COME WITH ME.
After SIX MONTHS I have finally finished all of True Blood!! )

I always forget how much I am killed dead when I go through my favorites on youtube. Like Supernatural on speed, or Neal Quigley leaves a message, or Jensen talking about his ICKLE WICKLE PUPPY ICARUS, or even all the Prince riffs on a certain episode of MST3K. A TREASURE TROVE. I has it.

God bless late nights and loud music on my headphones. Zen, I tell you.
I made this. )

Have you guys heard of Die Antwoord? WELL NOW YOU HAVE.



Okay, my BFFs showed me this and it's slightly disturbing and bizarre and I can't stop hitting the play button. All of us have the exact same problem. I don't know, guys.

Friday I have plans right after work to drive to Orlando to go hang out with my old Starbucks crew! Even a girl who worked with us and now lives in Charlotte, NC and a guy who lives in Baltimore (of whom is so so effing hot, I'd jump his bones in a SECOND but he's married, baww) are coming too! But hopefully the other guy who I had a pretty serious crush on will be there. I plan on getting pretty freaking drunk. SO. YAAAY EXCITED.

ALSO, this past Saturday was my dad's 56th birthday. Yaaay ilu Dad! ALSO ALSO, I totally forgot that April 10th I had this LJ for 7 years. The day after my 16th birthday I started this thing. Totally crazy. I can't believe how much has changed since then. And I know it's cliched and over-stated, but you guys seriously make every day a little bit better. Very few people understand the kind of relationships you build somewhere like this, but I'm so, SO glad to have them. So yay, THANK YOU FOR BEING AWESOME. ♥
DEAR [livejournal.com profile] whispered_theme:



I know, there's like, 2093483 "best of Rifftrax" videos but these scenes had us CRYING. So this is for her. I can't believe I still haven't seen the New Moon Rifftrax. (Note: I haven't seen New Moon.)

Work continues to be weird and up and down as one day I'll feel like I'm the designated office bitch and in the way and given a wonderfully patronizing tone, and the next, like today, taken out to a nice hour and a half lunch right on the bay, next to a marina. So. Yeah. Mostly I just keep telling myself that I HAVE a job and I'm getting paid and this won't be forever.

SO late in saying this, but thank you SO MUCH [livejournal.com profile] skygazing for the card! I actually gasped when I opened it, haha! ILUUUU. And also to [livejournal.com profile] kashmir1 for an adooorable card. YAY BIRTHDAY BUDDY! <3

Tomorrow. 100th episode. Gut-churning nervousness and excitement, you guys. AAAHHH.
WHAT?? WHAT?? WHAT?? I DON'T EVEN KNOW. I CAN'T EVEN. MISHAAAAA. )

Aneurysm had, let's move on to J2 panel pics!

Excuse me miss, does this rag smell like chloroform to you? )

Marksha's panel in half an hour! And then meeting up with [livejournal.com profile] wendy for dinner, wee!
EEEEE AHHHH [livejournal.com profile] la_victorienne! I got the books! THANK YOU SO MUCH! She didn't just rec me books, she SENT them to me! The Wives of Henry Oades and All We Ever Wanted Was Everything. ILU TO BITS AND PIECES THANK YOUUU! ♥

SO SO SO the kitty came around this evening to hang out in our garage and I had to take a video.



I KNOW I know my stupid words and noises. Just read the video description okay?

This past Thursday I FINALLY got a call from an actual place where I had submitted my resume. A law office about 7 minutes away from me wanted to schedule an appointment with me this Wednesday! CARTWHEEL! I'm mostly excited because it'll look really good on my resume and if I get it, I'll probably be making a lot more money than I was at Starbucks. I am nervous about the fact that it's a full time job, though. I've never actually held a full time, 40 hour a week every week job, so.

I'm also of course SUPER nervous about the interview so, uh, pointers? Tips? Things I should ask/things I SHOULDN'T ask? This is so silly, but I'm kinda concerned about um... taking time off. I'll (hopefully) be going out of state at the end of March and sometime in May, but... how do I ask about this? SHOULD I even ask about it? Just as like, a passing question, "Oh, I was just wondering about how taking time off works here, I might be going somewhere during these times"? I don't knoooow. Ughhh I hope it goes okay and I like the people and the work doesn't suck, etc etc. I also put an application in at a Starbucks in this cutesy downtown area and I'm going to call the manager there tomorrow, just in case the law office doesn't pan out.

Also, does anyone have Hearing Damage by Thom Yorke? It's on the freaking Twilight soundtrack but... THOM YORKE, OKAY.


Dear Conan, Dean Winchester enthusiastically supports you, and so do I.

Because I can't find any good youtube clips of all of the Walker, Texas Ranger lever, this will do nicely instead.

My 2009 year in review )

Yesterday my friends and I were going to see Avatar in IMAX and 3D but there was a mixup and the theater was packed at 11am (seriously wtf) and it didn't work out, so it'll have to wait. :( I was really excited. I still need to see The Princess and the Frog and Sherlock Holmes. My friends and I are all voting for early matinees 'cause holy crap, when did movies get so EXPENSIVE.

INSTEAD, my BFFs and I went to a thrift store, out for lunch, and Party City and at the latter, this happened. )

All right ladies and gentlemen. That's it for me for 2009. Family and I are headed over to aunt and uncle's place tomorrow morning for festivities. It's been a loooong year, sometimes good, but I'm kind of glad it's over. I can't thank you guys enough for getting me through. ♥ 2010 will be another year of discovery and adventure for me, and I can't wait.

HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR!! and as always,

Omg. My day was absolutely made when I came back from work and see all the snowflake cookies in my inbox. Thank you everyone so so so much! I rarely ever tell you guys how awesome you are, and how grateful I am to even KNOW you, so really. Thank you. It made me feel awesome. :D <33333

Adam from Mythbusters linked this on his twitter, and I cannot stop watching it and completely losing it every single time. Seriously. TEARS.



WHAT DO YOU SAY WE MAKE APPLEJUICE, AND FAX IT TO EACH OTHER.

Guuuys, I just completed my third to last shift at Starbucks. I really really can't believe it. IT'S ALL HAPPENING SO FAST. I really can't even go into every mixed feeling I'm having, otherwise I'll be writing another novel post. But it's been really really awesome, telling my regulars and them giving me hugs and congratulations and well wishes. Aww gosh.

Okay, self, you are not allowed to get super stressed and have PANIC ATTACKS. Paper will be finished, things will be packed, super difficult written exams will somehow excruciatingly be done, and by Wednesday night I'll be sleeping in my bed at home. Okay. I can do this. I CAN DO THIS.

ETA: Oh oh, and [livejournal.com profile] enablelove, I got your card! Thank you so so much! :D <3333
