Nothing to see here. [15 Nov 2007|12:56am] [ mood | sleepy ] [ music | I've Seen It All - Thom Yorke & Bjork ] It appears I'm finished with my journal here. We've had some good times, but it's time to move on. The new name's gembat. Pop on over there and maybe I'll try to explain to you why I chose that as my name. Maybe. If I even know. :) Whoa. I was looking for something to post here to close out my journal, and I was looking through my very first journal, and wow. I was an emo kid. Just... WOW. Seriously. I'm... I liked... Linkin Park. A lot. Just wow. I hope I don't look back through here and realize that. XD Off to bigger and hopefully better things, - Sara ETA: For your enjoyment, might I suggest the Sara Quiz? It is quite er... random. Just... wow. Self, stop being so hyper as a young child. Seriously. You're freaking me out. Read the Journal...

If the levee breaks, there'll be no place to stay. [12 Nov 2007|12:33am] [ mood | bouncy ] [ music | Wonderboy - Tenacious D ] Oh. My. Dear. For Seriously. This weekend was amazing. :) I will attempt to recap it at a later date. For now, I will release unto the wild my video project for the con. I don't actually know if we won or not, but I'm seriously doubting it. Haha... watch and you'll see why! :D HOORAY! :D OMG! I AM SO AWAKE RIGHT NOW. LIKE TOTALLY. *cough* Sorry about that. My capslock is insane. *cough* Also, I wore batman boots today. Gragh. I need to upload my pictures. Wow. I've got work to do. XD But anyways. Here's a link to the GREATEST AND BEST SONG/MOVIE/SHOW IN THE WORLD. 1 Cursed ..... Read the Journal...

Oh, RuuuuuuuuuuBY! [08 Nov 2007|12:11am] [ mood | asleep ] [ music | A Walk Through Hell - Say Anything ] Don't take your love to town! *boogies* *coughs* I really have a problem. Seriously. I thought for certain I would loathe everything about this character. I LOVE YOU, KRIPKE. DO YOU HEAR THIS. LOVE. FOREVER AND EVER. Tonight! Supernatural! :D It's weird to say this right before you actually go to sleep, but eh. Peh. Whatever, right? :D I found some random Killers songs/covers and yeah. Good times, yo. Whoo. Awesome. Whee. I shouldn't write entries when I'm hopped up on orange juice and Tylenol PM. Fer serious, y'all. Whoa. THE COLORS. I love music. I wish I could sing because I would be awesome at having my own rock band. We would call ourselves the er... well, the name's not important, but we would play awesome music and you know what, I can't wait for Rock Band. Oh wow. Played it at Best Buy the other day because Nick dragged me down there and they had it hidden in a corner and oh... it was euphoric bliss. Seriously. Wow. I had no idea synthetic guitars could do that to a person. I suck at writing when my brain isn't functioning. I wander, and my writing begins to suck. Hey, look! Cheese! :D WHOOOOEIGJJJJJJJJJJ. Okay. I really am just going to go to sleep and pretend this never happened. Yay, ghost pirates! :D CAPTAIN JACK AND ORLANDO BLOOM WITH THE BANDANNA FTW! :D Perhaps Bela = Elizabeth Swann, y/y? Gragh. I feel sick. Goodnight, and toodles! :D Read the Journal...

[06 Nov 2007|05:10pm] [ mood | cynical ] [ music | Wheel in the Sky - Journey ] If this song doesn't get out of my head soon, I may be angry. More likely, I'll just annoy my roommate to death with my incessant singing/screeching. But Journey is love so... um... Maybe things won't end badly? :D Speaking of roommates, she told me this morning that she was officially over Roswell, and promptly began plastering her side of the room with pictures of Jensen Ackles. As really fangirlish and stalker-like as that is, I will not deny that it's a pleasant sight to wake up to. *cough* Oh, forget it, I'm a hopeless fangirl. Seriously. Wow. So..... I really am getting back into the swing of this drawing thing. Part of it may be the fact that I'm using references more. Like last night I went out and just looked at canine anatomy for about an hour then drew a demon-ish dog thing okay, it was a hell hound and I'm a hugenormous fangirl. But I'm okay with that. It looks awesome, and I think it may be one of my new things just because... it was really, really fun to do. :) Also, I'm going to work on some kind of flash project this winter so my brother can teach me how to use the program better, and also so I can... express my randomness? Okay. But the big news for today. LucasArts and Bioware are teaming up again. Yes, that's right. There are whispers of KotOR 3, but they said what they're working on will "revolutionize gaming" or some other such grandiose nonsense. Why can't they just finish off my beloved trilogy, the thing that made me come crawling back to the altar of George Lucas even if he had absolutely nothing to do with it story-wise and apologize for ever doubting the franchise. Okay, so not so much apologize for anything related to the prequels (except for Ewan. EWAN! <3), but really. That was my first fandom love. Please finish it so I can get obsessed again and finish my fanart100. Seriously, y'all. Really now. Don't mess with something that is beautiful and amazing. You have Bioware! Please don't let their amazing writers waste their talent on something like an MMO. Really, now. I won't play an MMO. I don't have the time, or the money. I'm a college student. Seriously, now. Just... don't. Don't make me hate you. Make me love you, like the folks over at SPN. Who I am totally writing a postcard for. Seriously. <3333 In closing, Please come to Kentucky, SPN. We have Bigfoot, I promise. 1 Cursed ..... Read the Journal...

[29 Oct 2007|05:21pm] [ mood | determined ] [ music | Safety Dance - Men Without Hats ] I am in desperate need of a new livejournal, and have been for some time. Seriously. So while I try to figure out what to name it, I'll just let the few people who are still here watching me know you may get friended by a total stranger in the next few couple of days, and please to be friending me back. :) Also, I think it's going to end up being friends-only because I link to it from my Facebook now, so... there's that. But who knows, right? What will probably happen is my entries will be more structured. I'm going to start keeping a tight ship in terms of writing about what I'm doing, and what I care about. I'll probably have a friends-only policy for my personal entries, and entries relating to art or fandom I'll leave unlocked. I'm going to try to garner myself a fandom-presence for myself, so I'm going to start writing about what I love, rather than just reading what everyone else has to say. :) Maybe it'll be good times, who knows. Whoo. All that's left now is to get myself a new name. It's time to start over. :) Read the Journal...

So hey. [17 Oct 2007|06:05pm] [ mood | bored ] [ music | AGGH MAKE IT STOP ((Brazillian chanting/are those bagpipes?)) ] How's things? I hope things are good. Things are decent here. Ya know. All that jazz. I forget if I've posted that we might be going to Chicago. So. There. We might be going to Chicago on November 10th and 11th to see Wicked, and possibly for a Supernatural Convention, no I'm not a nerd not a nerd. :D Should be fun. I think we're going to buy tickets for Wicked tomorrow. So good times. Speaking of tomorrow, it's Thursday! not a nerd not a nerd Hooray! SPN night! :D So that's exciting. Me and Elizabeth are making a Lasagne noodle for Kripke just like we did for Peter Jackson back when he owned our souls. Oh life is good and the crazy? We are full of it. I am going to have "Tribute" - Tenacious D stuck in my head FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. Seriously, yo. Seriously. I can't explain now, but I will soon. :) So. I'm actually in class right now. So that's good times. We're watching this movie; it's one of those terrible ones. You know. Half of it is in Portuguese, and the music... Wow. Let's just say it's not Zeppelin? XD Speaking of Zeppelin, I have been to fanfic hell... AND BACK. :) Just yesterday I saw a SPN/Transformers crossover. It was beautiful, truly beautiful. Haha. OH MY ARGHHHHHH. MAKE THE YODELLING FROM THIS MOVIE STOP. Srsly, y'all. This is awful. Tomorrow is Thursday! :D Hooray! *cough* Oh yeah. Saturday? ESPN Game Day is going to be down here at our Library because apparently our football team is amazing now because OH YEAH THAT'S RIGHT WE BEAT LSU!!!!! WHOOOOOOYEAH!!!!!!! *takes a deep breath* So yeah. That's all well and good and everything, but dudes? I'm going home this weekend to edit video. And sing. ((Ooooh I can't wait to post this. XD)) And I was sort of planning on coming back Saturday morning. Problem is the library is right across from where my dorm is. Which means there will be no possible way I will not get hit by a flying, burning couch die and oh, come on all I want is to go home. *pines* So yeah. Supernatural marathon will continue tonight. Have I mentioned Supernatural enough yet? That's only because I'm working on this video. Oooooh yea. Ohohohohohoho. Ho. Ohoh. Indeed. 6 Cursed ..... Read the Journal...

Happy Birthday to me. :D [12 Aug 2007|11:49pm] [ mood | sleepy ] [ music | La Grange - ZZ Top ] Oh, yes, I am quite shameless. XD I turned 18 today, finally, after all this time. Yesterday we spent at Kings Island, and we rode Firehawk, and we hung upside down, and it was fantabulous and yay. And we also shopped. And I bought flourescent yellow socks. Whoo! :D Today, though, I ate a lot of food. XD As did Elizabeth; we do share the birthday, you know. We watched Supernatural, and had a jolly great time. There was also a lot of shouting about PUPPIES and CAFFEINE. I love my *rock music plays* button. I will take it everywhere and keep it as my own er... symbol of weird-awesomeness. So... yeah! I'm really not coherent right now, due to a built up lack of sleep, but eh. All I've got left to do this summer is beat Shivering Isles, and I'll be ready for college. :3 Whoo. Yeah. ZZZzzzzzzzZzzzzzz......... 3 Cursed ..... Read the Journal...

Post-post Harry Potter [07 Aug 2007|03:08pm] [ mood | blah ] [ music | Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead ] Wow... it's been a long time since I made a post. I'm actually doing this from my new laptop, which I both ordered and got before I updated. His name is Dionysus, and he is the computer-god of wine and revelry, and he is a mac, and thus frustrating. But I'm figuring him out. I got him on the 2nd, and I have since manually transfered my entire music collection to him. That alone took 3 hours. Oh yes, my force of will is strong. As is my pointing and clicking ability at this point in time. My guitar hero skills have declined a bit, but eh. Such is life. The cause for this is my increased obsession with Oblivion. Whoohoo! :D I beat the main quest finally after all this time! And also discovered that Martin was voice by Sean Bean! Yay for great voice actors. XD I really liked the ending, and I bought Shivering Isles, which I'm er... about 2 hours into, give or take. Mostly give. I really love this expansion. Sheogorath is fantastic, and I only wish I was an obnoxious crazy Irishman. Wow. I'm also working on a video project that I'm technically not allowed to talk about. Maybe I should make my journal permanently friends only. Huh. I'd hate to do that, but I might. *shrug* Also, I got an actual layout. Why? Mine was blindingly ugly. That's why. ^_^ Yay Supernatural. XD As for Harry Potter night, there is a movie. But I cannot get this movie to upload itself anywhere. So no ones going to see it. It was dreadful anyways. I might put pictures up soon, it's just that right now I'm really busy doing nothing, thank you very much, and I'd like to finish reading this article on Something Awful about Oblivion. Wh00t. I have seen the gates of Oblivion. *techno music and flashing lights* XD Read the Journal...

It's over. [21 Jul 2007|09:46pm] [ mood | nostalgic ] [ music | Cohkka - Apocalyptica ] And I'm dissappointed. ( Cut for MAJOR DEATHLY HALLOWS SPOILERS. ) This is really rambly, but that's only because I haven't slept today; I've been reading and making videos. You might see what for later. ^_^ 2 Cursed ..... Read the Journal...

Potterdammerung FTW! :D [20 Jul 2007|09:44pm] [ mood | anxious ] [ music | Velouria - Weezer ] I'm so freaking excited. DARRGH! EXCITEMENT! ^_^ ( BLARRGH! ) So excited I took a picture. XD I'm meeting Sabrina and possibly Elizabeth? at 10 at Joseph Beth, and I don't know what else to do, because I'm totally ready. I'm going to try to read the whole book tonight, but I don't know if that's going to happen because who knows what time I'll actually get home. I did go out and buy a 2-liter of coke and chocolate, so... precautions have been taken. x) SNAPE IS INNOCENT! 2 Cursed ..... Read the Journal...

[18 Jul 2007|10:15pm] [ mood | cheerful ] [ music | 10x10 - Yeah Yeah Yeahs ] I finally got my pictures off my camera from OotP night! ( Tonks and Luna and Hermione and Slytherins, OH MY! ) We're dressing up again for the book premiere this Friday night, and I'll get pictures of Sabrina's AWESOME Bellatrix costume that I couldn't get at the theater, because we met there and it was dark and yada yada. Suffice it to say, she's pretty accurate to the movie, but she's got dreadlocks. And she scared children. Yay. ^_^ 2 Cursed ..... Read the Journal...

I can't believe we didn't think of this. [02 Jul 2007|04:03pm] I'm pretty sure this was taken at the Louvre, as we passed a picture that looked so much like this at least 3 times. ( Going to the... ) Just wish I was that awesome, is all. 4 Cursed ..... Read the Journal...

I'm back! :D [18 Jun 2007|08:10pm] [ mood | chipper ] [ music | Island in the Sun - Weezer ] Details of my France Trip will come soon; don't worry. I just don't feel like doing it all right now. I'm still really tired. Yeah. ^_^; I'd much rather focus on random unimportant things like the fact that I can't decide whether or not I want to waste time/money on another costume. Tia Dalma turned out well. :3 But that was because Sabrina did it. I want to make something all my own, even if it will end up terrible. Just so I can say I did something all my own. So I have three real ideas that I'm sitting on reference pictures for. ( So... if anyone wants to help me sort through this, that's appreciated. :3 ) Because I mentioned it so much in there, yes! Sara is contemplating cutting her hair again. It's about midback, and that means I'm getting sick of it. This always happens to me. I enjoy my hair, but sometimes you just need to do something different. So I'm on the lookout for different haircuts. And I'll be posting pictures and crap. I'm also considering getting more dreads of different colors. So yeah. <3 The world might be fun and joyful. ^_^ Whoo! Hyper and random! O.O! 3 Cursed ..... Read the Journal...

[09 Jun 2007|10:29pm] [ mood | ecstatic ] [ music | El Tango De Roxanne - Moulin Rouge ST ] I'm totally leaving for France in 3 hours. I just burned a copy of the Moulin Rouge CD. Because Ewan is going to be listened to. IN FRANCE!!! And I'm going to take a load of pictures, and post them everywhere. Why, yes. I have had a ton of caffeine tonight, and I leave at 1:00 AM, and I'm not getting any sleep. At all. Yay. Whee. Whoo. Oh. And I'm calling people in New York because I have phone cards. And a phone. Yes, that includes my mother. Don't judge me. ^_^ Bye! 5 Cursed ..... Read the Journal...

Wow. That was fast. But since the last entry was friends only... [06 Jun 2007|06:15pm] [ mood | amused ] [ music | Acquiesce - Oasis ] I'm going to put this up where anyone can find it, so that my softball friends can find it if they know about this site. :3 Yes. Admire my editting prowess. XD For those who don't know, I'm the stupid-looking/sounding, ridiculously long-haired, man-voiced one who's only in there maybe a grand total of 3 times. ^_^ Priviledges of being the editor. :D ( Movies Sections, and my various rants about them: ) And now for a conclusion that pertains to something completely different, I can't believe my brother still listens to/likes Linkin Park. 2 Cursed ..... Read the Journal...

I'm going to reply to the comments on my other post. Just not right now. [16 May 2007|09:59pm] [ mood | cheerful ] [ music | All These Things That I've Done - The Killers ] Why? Because I'm bored. And I don't feel like it? I don't know. I can't explain it. Anyways. Yeah. Softball is ending. Tears and sadness and all that junk. I think when I make the video, I'll put it online. Just so I can reminisce or something. But I digress. I'm trying to pick a song to use for my part of the video. It will be a slideshow of pictures/video of me growing up. I really don't know what to use at all. Probably because I'm a terrible person. Or maybe because I'm an amazing person. Right now I have my heart set on "All These Things That I've Done" by The Killers, but ergh. It's a little pretentious or something, isn't it? And yeah. So suggestions are nice. And kind of why I wrote this. ^_^; 1 Cursed ..... Read the Journal...

So here goes nothing: [22 Apr 2007|09:33pm] [ mood | calm ] [ music | Hang Me Up To Dry - Cold War Kids ] I'm back. We did terrible at Covington. I don't want to talk about it. Suffice it to say, errors occured. Happiness and sunshine and bunnies did not. Well, there was at least some sunshine. :D YAY IT'S FINALLY WARM! :D Also, I went to the France cookout tonight. I had good times. And ate too much food. ^_^ 1 Cursed ..... Read the Journal...

What... there's an "Embed Media" option on here now? [20 Apr 2007|08:46am] [ mood | giddy ] I really want to know what that does. *stares* Anywho. Covington is this weekend. It's been about oh... 3-4 years since we've been to this tournament. The last time we were there, all I did was run for Maegan. I did dive back into a base, but eh. Petty playing times. Good times. :3 Except for the part where their dugouts had no roofs. And I got some burnt knees. So yeah. That was then. This is now. I don't know what that has to do with anything. But I wrote it. :3 Therefore it's BRILLIANCE. Or something. So anyways. I'm at school right now. Researching for a debate. But I just wanted to let peoples know that I'm leaving for the weekend, and I should be back on Sunday. Maybe in the morning, maybe the afternoon. Depends on how well we do and when we play our games. Hopefully we'll do well, and get to go shopping. Because that would make for a most wonderful weekend. I need more jeans because I'm ZOMG!NEVER wearing khakis/polos again after I'm out of this school. w00t. Or something like it. :3 Yay softball! :D 2 Cursed ..... Read the Journal...

It's been a while. Again again. [15 Apr 2007|01:24pm] [ mood | productive ] [ music | We Used to Be Friends - The Dandy Warhols ] I can't believe how long it's been since I posted. So many things have happened that it's actually crazy. Scary crazy. Over Spring Break, I was home alone with my dad. My mom and brother were at a baseball tournie in the Florida. So yeah. It was enjoyable. :3 On Tuesday, I went to pick up Guitar Hero 2 for Xbox 360. I'm incredibly obsessed. I'm just starting to play hard, so yeah. I'm really terrible because I can't slide my hand very well and then remember where my fingers are. But the game has introduced me to a few new bands/songs that I really really like. So it's a great game in many respects. I don't get to play it often, but that's life, eh? Later that same Tuesday, I went with Kara and Amanda to see Blades of Glory. It was okay. I love Will Ferrell. That's how Kara got me to go. XD But we listened to Alanis Morissette's cover of My Humps ridiculously loudly as we drove through town. Yes we are that weird. It was awesome, especially since the whole thing had come out pretty much the day before on the interwebs, and no one knew what it was. And so it was grand to get weird looks from people. But the best part by far of the whole day, was when the preview for Spiderman 3 came on. Kara asked why there was a big "E" on the screen. Me and Amanda headdesked. It was wonderfully hilarious. And we're still making fun of her. But anyways. Wednesday was the day I had softball practice, and it was cold, and my knee started to act up and it was windy and muddy and argh. My knee still twinges every now and then, and I really think it's the cold. I sound like such an old woman. "The cold makes my arthritis act up." Pssht. I'm retarded. So yeah. I grunted and groaned my way through practice and generally was a bad example of a waste of humanity. Or something. I cried. First time this year at a softball practice. :3 I need to get some sleep. Wednesday night was also movie night. Amanda came over and we watched Phantom of the Opera and Moulin Rouge. Good times. Thursday, our game was either rained out, or colded out. I don't remember. It's freezing. Either way, we were all really excited. Sabrina came over and hung out, and we had jolly good times frolicking about. Then we checked online to see if our dreadlock hair had arrived. It had. On Tuesday. My dad just didn't know that it was a package for me. He's retarded. Me and Sabrina promptly began making dreadlocks as we watched Moulin Rouge and Phantom of the Opera. Watching the same two movies two nights in a row hasn't had ill effects on my mind. I promise. *twitch* Friday we left for Bell County. Me and Sabrina rode down with Kacey and her parents. It was enjoyable. There was bizarre singings, and weird interpretations of the lyrics of Peanut Butter Jelly Time. In closing, Bell County is freaking cold. It snowed the first night we were there. We played softball in the snow. At 10:00PM. It was terrible. We didn't finish the game until midnight, at which point we went back to the hotel and ate tacos. We beat Middlesboro, which was kind of awesome because they're good. We ended up placing second in the tournie. So at least we got a trophy for our suffering. It was a terrible experience, though. The snow on the ground would get onto your cleats, and then melt through. And you lost feeling in your toes about 15 minutes into warm up. Terrible. I got back from Bell County on Sunday, and didn't go to church. On Easter. I was tired. Yay. *cough* We ate at a buffet thing because I guess my Grandma didn't want us at her house. So whatever. It was generally fun. There was food, I can't complain. I've been eating cheap jelly beans ever since then, and I think I'm gonna be sick. XD But the best news ever also occurred. I got a scholarship from CCAD. A good one. So I could potentially go there. I'm going to visit on Wednesday this week. So... yeah. I'm crossing my fingers that I like it. I have to make a decision by May 1st. O.o; Talk about your pressure. So yeah. That's pretty much my life right now. :3 I'll post a Friends Only thing later with me and Sabrina and our dreadlocks. Pictures. There will be pictures. It will pwn. Read the Journal...

Lonliness and Isolation. [31 Mar 2007|09:47pm] [ mood | spazzy ] [ music | Extraordinary Way - Conjure One ] I felt an emo title would be appropriate tonight. ^_^ Seeing as how my mother and brother up and left me and my father to go to Florida for the baseball tournie. And now I have to watch these dogs at the end of the street, and they pooped in the house today even though I let them out in the morning before my softball game and OMG OMG OMG I HAVE TO DO THIS BECAUSE I GET PAID AND THEN I CAN BUY PLAAAAAAAAID! <3 <3 <3 *cough* Yeah, I've got a bit of a problem. I bought my Deathly Hallows voucher at Joseph Beth tonight. It was awesome because the guy who sold it to me was totally a Harry Potter nerd, too, and we shared a look of understanding. Or something. Anyways, the point is, on July 21st, at 12:01 AM, I'm getting my book. And an Auror's kit. Whatever that means. I certainly hope it includes something I can beat up the people I'm going with with. Because I'm sure we'll be having stupid arguments whilst in line. ^_^ It'll be awesome socks. Actually, I intend to wear awesome socks. Or rather my Luna Costume. Because, ya know. Luna. Yay. :D *hopes she doesn't meat any srsly hardcore!fanbrats because her costume isn't canonical Ravenclaw, but actually movie Ravenclaw, and well it doesn't really match up with the movie costume either because she just made it the way that was cheapest and she wanted* Omg. Spring Break. It eats my mind. I'm off to play some Oblivion until obscene hours in the night. Because I told myself I would. And eat ice cream. I definitely promised myself some ice cream, too. :3 Read the Journal...

I need to update more regularly. Like srsly. [26 Mar 2007|11:58am] [ mood | excited ] I need to blog more regularly. But you know. This sort of thing always happens when softball starts. The absenteeism started earlier this year because of the play, I think. But anyways. The softball sleepover was on Friday/Saturday. It rocked. My dad finished building the DDR mats, and even though they don't have any arrows in them right now, they are amazing. The work just like the arcade, and wow. I have to practice back up because I quit for those 6 months I didn't have pads, and now I suck at playing and argh. But alas. I can still do level 7 songs, but I have trouble with some of the level 8 ones I used to be able to pass. Softball is going rather well. Our team looks good, and I'm having fun, and yay. :3 I'm really really happy about that. Right now, though, I'm most excited about my dreadlocks. I've been preparing to make them for about 2 months now, and I think I've settled on the colors of hair I'm buying, and all that jazz. I just can't decide what my random extra color will be. Because I see myself putting these in randomly. XD I've always wanted to have randomly colored hair, and this is like the perfect way. It's exciting. Plus, Sabrina is making two groups with me. She's doing red (Pirates) and black (Bellatrix for OotP), and I'm doing blonde (Tia Dalma) with a few extra of a different color. This is the color chart we have to choose from. I'm getting Dark Blonde ((Even though it's more expensive e.x;)) to match my hair, and probably the Light Mixed Blonde for highlights for the Tia Dalma dreads, mostly because I wanted to make my hair a little lighter for it. I just think it'll make my Tia Dalma costume unique, and interesting. Not just a copy of the actual one. :3 Yay. Sweet. But yeah. I'm thinking either Bright Auburn or Burgundy for the extra ones. I want an extra bag to practice on before I start making the ones I'm going to definitely wear. It'll make it less stressful, plus I'll have some to add in for accents if I need to. I think I need 6 bags total. I'm really excited about this. Me and Sabrina are going to watch ridiculous amounts of movies and make dreadlocks when we get out of school. As for when I'm going to put them in, I don't really know. I wanted to leave them in for at least a week, two if possible. It just doesn't seem like it's going to happen. e.x; I'm going to have to take them out the day after PotC because of graduation. My mom's doing; if I had it my way, dreads for graduation! Whoo! XD But the week before the movie is districts for softball. And dreadlocks don't exactly seem conducive to wearing the helmet for softball. So I'll put them in as soon as districts/softball is over for good, and then just leave them in until the movie. I may put them in again for my France trip. I haven't decided. It'd take a bit of maintenance, wouldn't it? To keep them looking/smelling nice. I don't know. It might be too much of a hassle. But if I put them in for France, I'd definately put the red in, too. I'm just really excited about doing something random to my hair for once. XD Yay! :D Read the Journal...

Sad face! [14 Mar 2007|07:27pm] [ music | And I've Got You and You've Got Me - New Buffalo ] I forgot it was Pi Day today. :( I'm really depressed about that. I mean, we didn't even have pie for dessert! Wow. Anyways. I got canvas to make a pair of knee high converse boots tonight. So at least something happy happened! :D Plus, we probably won't have school for the rest of forever because the basketball team is going to win state and romg. Yay. 2 Cursed ..... Read the Journal...

Happy International Pancake Day [20 Feb 2007|09:42pm] [ mood | chipper ] [ music | The Point of No Return - Phantom of the Opera Soundtrack ] I think I've given up on tags again. It's too hard for me to remember to do them. And/or to use the same ones. So I'll just have to resort to something else when I update progress on my Tia Dalma dress. Or something. I don't know. That's generally how things go, eh? :3 I have my first sort of "performance" tomorrow night for the filming. This whole play thing has been fun, and though I have to wear the man-shoulders jacket, I don't even care. I've had the good times, slow danced with Jordan ((I was in a suit and she was in a pink panther costume)), randomly attacked props, danced with Hagrid, and been responsible for several head injuries/in-jokes. Or something. I'm thoroughly satisfied. So even if we botch up the whole thing, I'll be okay with it. XD *practices her Monty Python VoiceTM* Okay. I really need to work on Calculus. I've got that and Economics tomorrow. So... I really need to pass both of them. Because my Calculus grade sucks right now. O.O Ooh! Almost forgot! ^_^ I got my Christmas present from tahu in the mail today and IT IS SO CUTE! :D Thank you! :D :D :D :D *makes infinite smileys* 1 Cursed ..... Read the Journal...

Why I am not upstairs right now. [19 Feb 2007|03:17pm] [ music | Another Town - Regina Spektor ] I'm pretending to do my English project. But I think everyone knows I'm not really doing anything productive. I wish that being on reddit all day and ocassionally working on my Oblivion pictures could be considered productive. And man... this procrastinating streak needs to end. Probably right about now. Especially given that this whole week, I'll be at school late every night and making up tests 1 or 2 days early because of the stupid play. So... it should be interesting. Argh. Who am I kidding. I NEED TO FINISH THIS ENGLISH PROJECT. *tries to force this into own thick skull* So yeah. The carpet is now in the living room, and the fish tank hasn't stabalized yet, but the fish are still alive. I swear. Zombie fish. I joined two new art sites. Fanart Central and Art Wanted. I don't know why. I love devArt, and I really don't have time to keep up with other things, but maybe I just really like ego-stroking comments and so I pimp my art out to the furthest corners of the world hoping maybe someone somewhere will actually like it. Or maybe I'm just procrastinating again. I have to write four essays and I've only done 1/2 of one. And then I have two Calculus assignments to do. And while none of this is actually due tomorrow, I'm not going to get home until late because I'm filming for the other cast for the DVD. I'm seriously screwing up my week before it even starts. And it's all my own fault. Argh. Okay. Some of the fault belongs to youtube. ^_^ In closing, everyone should go search for Demetri Martin on youtube. He's just funny. He just is. Also good for laughs are the Umbilical Brothers. Okay. I need to stop this now so I'm going back to writing about how death was an influential theme throughout the history of poetry. Wish me luck, as it requires me to analyze an ee cummings poem, and I never was very good at doing that. O.O Read the Journal...

Great Flying Fish [17 Feb 2007|09:39pm] [ mood | pensive ] Today we moved the fish tank from the living room. The 35 gallon fishtank. With big rocks in it. It would obviously been impossible to move it without taking all the water out, as it needed to be moved completely out of the living room. We're getting new carpet and yadda yadda. It's in my room right now, and while I'll not enjoy the sound of the water running in my room all the time, I don't want to move it back. Mainly because it was such a hassle. We had to take all the water out and put the three fish we do have in a bucket, and then move it, and then put new water in it. Then the heater overheated and died because there wasn't enough water in it, and we had to buy a new one. So for some reason my dad wanted to leave the fish in the bucket until we got a new heater. And somewhere in the middle of the day, the big black rainbow shark fish thing decided to mount its escape. There was a 3 inch gap between the water level and the top of the bucket, and man. He cleared it. And landed about 2 feet away from the bucket. I was impressed. And disgusted. And now I'm afraid that whenever I walk by the fish tank, they'll jump out and land on me and be generally slimey and disgusting. Ew. Needless to say, I didn't pick the fish up, but I got my dad to. What can I say. I enjoy gore, but I DO NOT WANT TO TOUCH THE SLIMEY. NO. So yeah. He's alive, and so are the other two fish, and the tank is about half full in my room. If they don't die over the next week, I'll be thoroughly impressed. And I'll also be forced to believe we have zombie fish. Because that was absolutely probably the craziest thing anyone has ever done to a couple fish. Just wow. Crazy. Back to my English Poetry project, I suppose. :3 1 Cursed ..... Read the Journal...

I wish I could say the same for you. [14 Feb 2007|10:35am] [ music | I Love My Car - Belle & Sebastian ] I'm having a wonderful Valentines Day so far... As it's a snow day and we might not have play practice. :D Third Wednesday in a row. XD w00t! :D So yeah. Hope the rest of y'all have a good day, too. As for me, I'm going to go put on my rainbow socks, prance around the house, learn "20 Year of Snow" on the piano, take pictures of the miniscule amount of snow on the ground, and generally behave in a way that is generally annoying to my brother. :D I keep saying I'm going to be the most immature 18-year-old ever whenever anyone asks when my birthday is, and I plan on sticking with that plan. Yesterday I went to Michael's with my mom and we found this foam cowboy hat that would be PERFECT for making a pirate hat out of. It was only $2, so we bought it. They also have netting that would be perfect for the Tia Dalma dress, but it's $8 for a package of it. So... I'm waiting on that. Prisma markers are also still $180, and thus my mother doesn't feel up to buying them. Actually, the price made me queasy. But I did get a couple corks for my Luna costume. I guess I'm making that necklace today, too. Such a wonderful Wednesday. ^_^ 4 Cursed ..... Read the Journal...

[05 Feb 2007|09:32am] [ mood | jubilant ] [ music | Zombie - Cranberries ] The way I feel about this subject is clearly expressed in this article. There was going to be a rant because it's 9:30 on another snow day, and I'm bored, but alas. I found that via reddit, and my points were ranted for me. So... yeah. :3 Kind of exciting. I need to finish everything that I didn't do over the weekend so that I can be caught up. I just want to be caught up so badly. I'm so close. :D I need to finish my commission. The money is here, so now I just need to finish. Then maybe I can save the money towards the HP book my mom won't buy for me. :D I don't think there's actually anything in this house to eat. I'm sorta worried about lunch. But alas. It's about 10 degrees outside, but I really want to go sledding since there hasn't been this much snow in for-flipping-ever. But yeah. Too cold, and I don't even know where my gloves are. The use of my fingers is more important than a random moment of snowy goodness. I think. Omg I really want to go outside and do something bizarre and cold. Anyone want to join me? XD *dances* Today is awesome and wonderful. ^_^ And I'll be watching the Star Wars. w00t.

[01 Feb 2007|09:28am] [ mood | geeky ] HARRY POTTER JULY 21ST! :D At first I thought to myself, nah... just a hoax. But then I saw the MSNBC-ness of it all, and you know... credibility being what it is... This is what I miss from not being in web design! ROMG! ROMG ROMG ROMG! ARRRGH! I don't know why I'm so excited, but yay. :3 This means that all my friendlies in their stupid costumes from July 13th will be able to go out with their stupid stupid costumes for the 21st. ^_^ It'll be a wonderful like week of INSANITY. The 13th is a Friday, and the 21st is the next Saturday. Omg. Who planned this? That's too much insanity for me to handle. ARRRRGH. But! I'll have a whole Saturday to read it and stuff like that. I just wish it was coming out before France. But you know what this means? It's ending. I mean, seriously. Sad pandas or something. So yeah. I'm stuck at school, and no one is here that cares about HP except for Sabrina and Elizabeth, and both of them are working on web design stuff and calling me stupid and being generally mean how dare they. There is no one here. It's really rather frightening. There is ping pong in Economics, rather than a productive class. I mean, that's just disheartening. Disheartening to the limit extreme. Okay, so I'm just generally really hyper right now and really need to scream this to the world. Yay. w00t. :D Read the Journal...

SNOOOOOOOOOOOW! [24 Jan 2007|02:07pm] [ mood | ecstatic ] [ music | Lithium - Evanescence ] FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! *dances like a monkey* After four years of waiting! Finally! ROMG! I don't even know what to say. I swear, there's only about a half inch, if that out there, and school is cancelled everywhere and today is filled with Oblivion and bliss and omg I'm missing the Daily Show. ARRGH! Okay! I've gotta go! YAY SNOW! 1 Cursed ..... Read the Journal...

There are no words. This is... this is the worst thing that has ever happened to me. [14 Jan 2007|08:00pm] [ mood | bored ] [ music | Fergalicious - Fergie ] I just... I feel as if I've failed somehow. I mean... I have never sunk this low. It was a harmless download; all I wanted was to get some music so I'd have stock for the softball video at the end of the year. I just... I didn't realize. Okay. Fine. I have "Fergalicious" stuck in my head. This is ridiculous. It's... absolutely horrid and atrocious. I mean... these have to be some of the stupidest lyrics ever. "I be up in the gym just working on my fitness"?!?!?!? WHAT!??! I just... someone kill it with fire. Please? ^_^; In other news, I'm working on a flash movie. "Stacy - Slayer of Fiends" It's going to be awesome, and that's about all I have to say for now. :3 I will need some guest voice actors when I figure out what I'm doing in the first one, so... yeah. If you've got a computer mic or mic in general, let me know if you want to be on it. Yeah. Mhmm. We didn't get to film for the film festival movie today because it's still overcast and rainy, and I require a pretty blue sky to start my filming. The lighting generally sucks, and... this movie needs to be perfect. I've got an awful feeling that if I don't get it filmed next weekend, though, it'll never happen. Alas. But! In gooder news ((rofl)), I'm making a stupid, relieve-my-nerves video. Tomorrow I think. Either to Moskau, or for the New Numa Contest. Probably to Moskau, because that song is cooler. Or maybe to New Numa because that might make me some money. XD *is such a sheep* 8 Cursed ..... Read the Journal...
