You can all uncover your eyes now, those who read my last post. I've stopped being weird and overly-angstful. I might play very well into a lot of teen drama cliches, but I'll be damned if I write about them all the time on lj.

Anyway. Reading Terry Pratchett's "The Truth" again, which I love. And I bought "Monstrous Regiment", which I reread immediately because it always makes me squeeful inside. :sigh: And I read "Small Gods", which I hadn't gotten to before but loved and can be blamed for my bad and angstful behavior. Nothing like a book on religion and the death of gods to make you spill your guts in a blog, I suppose.

In any case... I want yaoi for it. Am I the only one? 'Cuz sometimes I wonder. Does anyone else want to see Om/Brutha? Vorbis/Brutha? Om/Brutha/Vorbis? I feel slightly better because it's not like I want some viciously descriptive fanfiction or overly-detailed fanart of a god, a melon grower/prophet, and a... a Vorbis. (I don't even know what would be an accurate adjective to describe Vorbis. Those who've read the book may understand.) I just want something simple, except I specifically want to see the pairing(s). I'm afraid to look. I know it won't be there, and that makes me sad. :( But if anyone's seen any...! :waggles eyebrows meaningfully: Or has even read the book. Or any Discworld novel... And if you haven't, you should!

Notes for this post: I'm sure you're all wondering (not) why I always say "yaoi" instead of slash, m/m, shounen-ai, etc. It's because my mom knows what slash is (I use that second-most often) and not yaoi. So when I speak with my friends, I say "yaoi." Also, because I am more anime-oriented in life and more book-oriented online, but the anime terms are catchy and short and stick in the mind. I try to keep it short here, short enough to not need an lj cut, and I try not to litter people's friend pages. I hope I have succeeded in this., y

A text I sent to my girlfriend a few minutes ago. I have left the txttlk, it's written exactly the same. It's not too bad though. If anyone wonders, I just started thinking about some things she said. She wants me to be more open, and make her feel special. It... confuses me, to say the least. I don't know why I want to post it, but probably because I'll more than likely never say any of the things I talk about. So I suppose I need to say this at least:

( Read on, if you wish. Beware bad grammar. And some emo-ness. )

First, I had said I have new cousins. Well, the day my cousin went into labor was the day an older cousin died in New York. Louella apparently decided that nobody was being born until she was laid to rest, and so today at 11am Eastern time, Louella was buried. At 11am Western time, Bryce and Blake were born. I'm sad at the passing of a beloved family elder, and I rejoice at the blessing of new life (though really, these are Kids #6 and 7, you gotta stop Dana!).

( My name is Leeeeeeeeeeeegiooon. For we are... -MAAAAAAAANNYYYYYY. )

Pro- I got into the classes I wanted, and they're awesome.

Con- The honors classes are closed and I can't get in this year.

Pro- I got a netbook.

Con- Rachel has gone crazy. She won't go to the doctor, she stopped taking calls... Don't really know if she even has cancer. Not that I want her to have cancer, but imagine if she lied... She's been lying about everything else...

Pro- My cousin Dana is giving birth today. Twins.

Con- My cousin Louella died today.

PRO- I SAW ICE AGE 3. <333333 BUCK!

There's really no con to that! I end this post on a happy thought. Yay.

Please pray for my oldest sister. She was just diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She is far too young to die, and she has three young children to live for.

I had this feeling, before I found out. I think the phrase "someone walked over my grave" describes it perfectly. And the only other times I had this feeling, I was told an hour or two later that someone close to me had died unexpectedly. I am, quite frankly, worried sick.

So I'm finally home again. Boy I miss lj! I'm going to try and post more often now that I'm home. I have a month before school starts and if my financial aid would go through then I could buy my books, but meh. I'll worry about that later. I... have nothing interesting to report! The most fun I've had this past week was watching Night at the Museum II (loved it) and buying a bunch of new crayons and colored pencils and markers and coloring stuff.

If anything interesting happens I'll post. Life is currently boring.

JON AND GLORIA ARE FINALLY MARRIED!!!!!!!!

( Not that you have a clue who they are, but click if you'd like to find out. )

Kris Allen just won American Idol. Adam Lambert deserved that spot. I won't begrudge Kris his accomplishment but DAMN! And I know it's only because everyone thinks Adam is gay. It really shouldn't matter, and it makes me sad that something so... superfluous can stand in the way of greatness. However, Adam is still amazing and I'm sure he'll go far. Good luck to all of our Idols tonight.

Well, first, because they're just learning. They're over confidant and daring, and they think they know what they're doing when they don't. Or, overly cautious and jerky, nervous in their actions. Also, they try to impress people. Whoever they're driving with, friends or family or instructor, is there to be impressed by how well they handle the car. And they expect too much out of themselves. No one wants to be the statistic, and the whole world is pushing them to drive right. Learning to drive sucks.

I should know. I'm on a learner's permit. :P

Soooo. Yet another movie I spent mostly making fun of. But I liked it, I really did! I made fun of Nite Owl II especially. Great guy, that one. :3 So anyway, yea. It could have been great, really great if they had done it as a miniseries like Terry Gilliam apparently suggested, but instead it was just pretty good. Also, what's with the ten million sex scenes? What did they have to turn it into a porno for, I mean, my mom was in that theater! I managed to look at Dr. Manhattan the whole frickin time, but I covered my face with my hat when people started going at it. Frickin rabbits. I had my problems with the movie, but it also had it's "omg that is so amazingly awesome do that again!" parts, so I came out happy. And Rorschach. Oh gawd Rorschach. Ever since I got home last night, I've done pretty much nothing but read Watchmen fanfic with him in it, even in class. Jeezus. I absolutely love him and Nite Owl/Rorschach is canon. No really I just know it.

Also, did anyone catch "Glee" on Fox tonight? I kinda love it now, can't wait for summer shows to start up. And Adam had better win American Idol tomorrow!

Ugh. K bed nao bai.

Mm. Hi all.

Sooo I've not updated for a long time. I've basically banned myself temporarily from LJ, if anyone was wondering. Reason: too addicted. It was becoming unhealthy and I've already got enough stuff I use to procrastinate with. Adding something as engaging as LJ will end with me flunking out of college. SO I took a hiatus. I made one amendment and one only - I looked up a Disney slash comm and joined. My brain randomly decided to obsess over Kocoum/Thomas from Pocahontas, plus I discovered Phineas and Ferb, and I needed to see if there was anyone else as crazy as I am. However, school is nearly over and I am hoping to get back into the swing of things. Gawd I've missed LJ, even if nobody's missed me. Especially the Tin Man fandom! Never met nicer people...

( Anyway, updates! )

I knew it. Thursday the 12th sucks badly for me. Examples - Water Aerobics class. I am not very fit, my legs are now killing me, and once I got out I grew icicles waiting to get picked up. Also - my cousin Chris came early. We cleaned like mad, then had to take care of his baby. Michelle is cute, though.

Now, Friday the 13th... Rocks. Chris is being mysteriously kind and pimped my iPhone, so now it is unbelievably awe-inspiring and wondrous. Erin took her daughter and went to visit her dad - W00t! And now, it's SNOWING. I've been wanting it to snow for five years! Every time it snows, I'm out of town, but this time I can see it coming down in my backyard. Everything is turning white and I am in a state of bliss.

No one ever believes me when I say this is my lucky day, but it's true. Oooh, and my mom got paid so I'm going to go grocery shopping for V-day. Imma make pancakes!

I never before realized how places affect me. Returning to my own home after a period of absence is... difficult, to say the least. It induces a feeling of hopelessness, resignation, the desire to hurry and get home and have it be done with. Walking back into my house makes me nearly nauseous and usually exausted. Laughlin normally brings similar feelings, but more because we usually get there so late and not as depressing. Las Vegas is warm, a vaguely exciting and happy feeling, and I feel like I'm truly coming home. We normally stay at either the Stratosphere or the Palazzo, and I know the public areas there like my own home. My aunt's house is cold, slightly unnerving but still welcoming, with an endless optimism that "it'll be better this time." My uncle's home is comforting and makes me slightly giddy, more like going to a best friend's house where you call the adults "Mom" and "Dad."

Weird.

Ohhhhh I have so many crack pairings! anything odd or out there, that's me! but just... pairings that should canonically exist...

Cain/Glitch from Tin Man. I'd kill to see that in the show (more than it was).

Went to see City of Ember at the movies. First trailer was for Inkheart, which I had no idea that it was coming out now. I've been waiting FIVE YEARS to see that movie. For the first time in my life, I really hyperventilated. I nearly had hysterics... I'm not yet recovered.

On another note, The Spirit looks amazing, and Ember was good but not like the book.

My head is KILLING me. I have had so much go on... ( Why must NaNoWriMo be in November?! )

I saw a ghost once. I was spending the night on the Queen Mary---absolutely beautiful place--and we stayed in a room with no window. When you turned of the lights it was pitch black. I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a woman. She was floating above me, and I thought for a second she was a banshee. I covered my eyes with my hands and jumped out of bed, and I ran to the bathroom. I stayed there for hours with the light on... It's not the only weird thing that happened while we were there, either. I was terrified most of the time.

SO! Last weekend was Autumn Dream, which was epic fun. I have awesome new pins, got to carmelldansen with V from V for Vendetta, helped float rocks with Toph from Avatar: The Last Airbender and sic-ed Nurse!Joker on my completely obsessed friend while I chatted/shared water with Scarecrow. Another few friends had bought an Artist Alley table, and half of the con-goers ended up behind the scenes with us at some point. I congo-lined with Itachi and Deidara of Naruto, and watched Nurse!Joker do the Shooting Star dance. There were sour gummi worms and free granola bars to be had, and very pretty half-naked Pikachu cosplayers. I made Good Omens cupcakes! MMMMM WHATCHA SAY?!?!?! Gawd I can't wait until next year!

Speaking of which, I might get to go to Anime LA next year, which would be so great, and if I'm good and lucky, DR. WHO CONVENTION WOOT!

All in all, it's been a good weekend. Now I'm watching Star Wars (for the first time EVAH) and reading fanfic. Yeyz!

I have yet to find a book more disturbing later than I had before. However, I've found a lot of things to be much funnier, and gained more insight. And, of course, found many more pairings.
