Yup, this journal is now friends only. Some of the posts already were, but now most of them are going to be friends only (unless I don't feel like it XP). Does this sound redundant or what?

( So, if you want to add me... )

+ Once you've been added: Please comment here. Its just a meme that will help me get to know you a bit better.

Doctor Who. Thoughts.

( Spoilers for the season finale )

I really need new Doctor Who icons.

ETA: ( FORGOT TO MENTION! )

ETA 2: ( MOAR! )

My love for TCM never wanes. I watched this last night while talking with crooked about how there needs to be an AU in which Lily is some sort of singer in a jazz/blues club or something and James and Sirius in Fedoras just because they can be.

So yeah, I think this won an Oscar back in 1944 for Best Short? Anyway, the music and dancing and singing is spectacular.



FABULOUS YES/YES?

Seriously, watch it, it's fabulous.

Other than that, I'm playing "The Girl From Ipanema" on piano this week after managing to play "Yesterday" pretty damn well :) Okay, that's all for now, folks! ♥

OH SNAP THIS EPISODE.

( Spoilers for Turn Left )

♥

ETA: I just realized that I've basically spent 6 hours of the day catching up with Doctor Who. Damn. My mind is still blown by the Library episodes to be honest...Midnight too. Damn, this show makes me think too much!

WAS TODAY F.L.U.I.D?

If so, then oops, I'll do it tomorrow. Today I was too busy AVOIDING A STALKER GIRL ON AIM who first imed me on father's day or so. Apparently she just "found" me on her buddy list and didn't know where exactly she added me from (either ff.net or a hp forum I'm guessing).

She's been basically asking me what's up five times in a row, and keeps asking me to help her with a fic from some fucking fandom I have NO idea about (CHOBBITS? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT? I SURE DON'T KNOW. Apparently something about realistic robots?). So yeah, she tells me she needs help, I hesitantly accept because I'm too nice, and she made me help her pick between plots and I figured her idea of "helping" would be, you know, help with flow and grammar and such.

NO. Her idea is making me roleplay as various robot children and a factory woker (ROBOT factory worker) while she plays this interviewer guy.

WHAT. THE. FUCK?

The following happened:

Me: um, I'm not sure if I could do this very well
Crazy AIM girl: np
Crazy AIM girl: *walks in*
Crazy AIM girl: so, this is the factory

She just doesn't get a hint, does she?

So for about half an hour I played various people to help her with her fic (HOW? HOW?) until I finally made a lie about having to leave. I put my away message up. ABOUT 4 MINUTES LATER SHE IMS ME AGAIN TWICE SAYING, "HELLO." OMFG, I JUST TOLD HER I WAS LEAVING/MY AWAY MESSAGE WAS UP AND SHE IMS ME. WHAT?

I was finally convinced to block her. I just can't handle that. She caught me in a lie to her yesterday but I pulled it off and kept avoiding helping her with this damn fic but she finally caught me in her clutches.

She just...my God. WEIRD Y/Y?

NO, IT'S GOING TO BE RENAMED THE NIGGER HOUSE. SEEMS LIKE A LOGICAL SHIFT, YEAH?

Yeah, hope that got your attention. I don't even care if it was supposed to be funny or a joke or whatever, that's some bullshit and fucking disgusting and incredibly insulting and completely disrespectful to the like 25 black people in your fucking party. And you often wonder why a bigger percentage of black folks aren't in your party ("THEY GO TO CHURCH AND BELIEVE IN GOD AND MANY DON'T SUPPORT GAY MARRIAGE ZOMG!!!"). BECAUSE SHIT LIKE THIS IS PULLED, THAT'S FUCKING WHY.

[/rant]

Well, how are you all today?

(I know this isn't a representation of all Republicans, by the way. And the few that are on my flist are actually sane and as far as I know aren't a bunch of racist idiots so...this ain't directed at you.)

"AND DON'T FORGET: ELVENDORK! IT'S UNISEX!"

-JAMES FUCKING POTTER

HOLY CRAP. I DIDN'T STOP GRINNING. NOT ONCE. SIRIUS AND JAMES OH MY GOD SO MUCH FUCKING LOVE RIGHT NOW. I'M STILL GRINNING. JKR'S CHICKEN SCRATCH HANDWRITING DIDN'T MATTER, THAT STORY WAS SO GREAT OMFG. ♥

You can read the HP prequel for charity thing JKR did here.

I AM SO SATISFIED.

ETA: TYPED VERSION!

+ VOICE POST! IN WHICH I TALK ABOUT THE PREQUEL AND SUCH!

VoicePost 579K 2:54

(no transcription available)

+ Oh, Anderson. You've gotta watch your back.



A couple more via the Best Week Ever blog here and here.

+ In other news, I still really love seafood dip.

+ I think we finally bought the plane tickets to London. If any of you will be there (Londonders on my flist included) from August 4-11 TELL ME.

+ I need a list of some books to read. Like, some classics. Not uber uber classic like Pride and Prejudice or anything. A variety of genres that you just have to read at some point of your life. Movies included (although I have my own little list starting with that...including Moulin Rouge which I still have never seen.)

+ A few random pictures from yesterday during graduation rehersal and at a frozen yogurt place on main street called Sparky's:

( SO ARTISTIC YOU KNOW...THIS PHOTO... )



Me in froyo place. I'm, thankfully, adjusting to my glasses a lot better now ♥

( ONE MOAR! )

Okay, that's about it for now. I must get showered and ready and all that junk because...

I'M GRADUATING TODAY!!!

ETA: OH MY GOD THIS IS SO FUNNY PLEASE WATCH!



ETA 2: Also I had a pretty funny dream this morning. I dreamt that I was beating up this kid in my class and kicking him in the stomach. Sidenote: if he were in England he'd be ~*~chavtastic~*~

HIGH SCHOOL = OVER! School was great today. All the seniors did was sign year books, DJ, and grill stuff. I'm so happy but so exhausted. I mean, I'll still be around school for a bit but it hasn't him me yet. Aaaaaand since it's a tradition at my school for the seniors to smoke cigars when the final bell rings (as well as have "SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER" play) I smell like crap. Oh, I also wrote, "DOBBY LIVES!" in chalk on the ground XP

OH AND MORGAN BAILEY MY FAVORITE TEACHER EVER WHO DOES HP CLUB WITH ME GAVE ME $50 AS A GRADUATION GIFT :DDDDDDDDD

Aaaaaand here is me blowing up a balloon:



...OH HAY?

I took a ton of pictures but I need to rest/get ready for a party tonight. AND IN CASE YOU MISSED IT I FINALLY POSTED THE FIRST CHAPTER OF THAT AU MWPP ERA FIC AND IT TOOK SO MUCH TIME TO WRITE SO I'D LOVE IF YOU GUYS WOULD READ IT.

Where the Flowers Bloom - Chapter 1

Please pimp ♥

Lurve you all!

Bob Saget complimented my artwork at the gallary opening tonight. We totally dished.

Life = COMPLETE.

ETA: In case some of you didn't know, one of Bob's daughters Lara is in my grade/classes (art class). So yeah, he was there XP Wasn't the first time I've seen him in person, of course, but I've never talked to him until tonight.

ETA: Oh, my mom and dad and lots of other people loved my artwork. Everybody did a great job! It came together so well, even as I was working on my last pieces all day today!

I came home from school in a yellow cab.


Driven by my dad.



~*~Details tomorrow~*~



Oh, and it smelled like cigarettes in heat. Fucking gross.

FUN DAY!

+ Got to an Obama ralley late but this guy was there and talked and performed some music so yes, that was fun. My mom and I also signed our names on this thing and wrote what an Obama presidency means to us or something like that on little strips of paper which'll all become a sort of chain and be presented at the democratic national convention :) But yes, so we got some stickers and a shirt (the guy gave us a discount...because we were black. w00t! He wasn't a part of the campaign btw...he was just there selling cheapo shirts. Man's gotta makea living somehow XP)

And you wouldn't believe how many times people were confused by my boy scout shirt and thought it was my non-existant brother's. They were still confused when I told them I bought it at a store XP

+ Um, ate a sandwich and some soft serve ice cream?

+ Was stuck in traffic on the 40fucking5 after dropping my parents off at Starbucks and trying to get to the HP store ~*~Whimsic Alley~*~ across town where my friends Drew and Violet were meeting me to get wands. Got there about 45 minutes late but it was fun nevertheless. I got a Slytherin tote bag and some pins and helped them pick out wands. Then we went on Sawtelle, saw some Asian people of course, and got boba. Theeeeeeeeen they dropped me back off at the HP store parking lot so I could get my car and drive off to pick up my parents since they wanted to go home :\

Funniest thing though...okay not so funny. More like embarrassing:

Me: *Puts boba on top of car because I have my hands full. Put all my junk in the car, put key in ignition, drive off*
Boba: *Still on roof of car*

[About 30 seconds later]

Roof of car: *THUMP*
Me: ...Hm, where is my--OH SHIT! *Pull over...does not see boba...calls Violet to express embarrassment...as well as mom...the latter didn't care.*

So yeah, that was the boba story. It was about time something like that happened. PLEASE TELL ME WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED TO YOU SO I DON'T FEEL AS EMBARRASSED! D:

Aaaaaaaand picture time from the HP store get together:

( Is this Mariah? | IT. IS. SO. GOOD. )



Aaaaaand this was $8. I really shouldn't have but...IT'S SO PRETTY AND GREEN AND SLYTHERIN SO I GOT IT, OKAY? ♥♥♥

BEAT THAT, HEAD GIRL! (aka midnight_ljc >_>)

So there you have it! Now all I have to do is some writing, debate on whether or not to go to a senior party tomorrow at 10:00 (I probably won't), and find out where exactly Senior Ditch Day is taking place on Monday.

BYE LURVLIES! And I feel a lot better after yesterday in case you were curious :)

Hey guys! I'm in a good mood after coming back from piano class so I thought I'd share this and I wouldn't mind some feedback.

So for English we had to write a short, creative...thing based on the style of Hemingway (We're reading The Nick Adams Stories) and I think I only really got his style in the short, stacatto dialogue but that's about it. But yeah, some of us shared our writing and I got good feedback from the people who actually heard me read it aloud (we were outside...people were being noisy around us).

So yeah, here it is:

Title: Red Oxford Sweatshirt
Pairing: Original Character---->Original Character
Rating: PG or PG-13
Word Count: 506 (So short for me)
Summary: A mysterious young man at a concert captures Amelia's attention.
Warning: Nothing at all unless you're offended by beer and cigarettes
Disclaimer: This might be crap?
A/N: This is loosely based on a true, personal story. You may remember this post I made about a veeeeeeery similar guy.

In case you missed it:



Again, it was just amazing. Very ballsy and intelligent and so true from so many different point of views. Of course there will still be the idiots who're all "ZOMG HE IS STILL CLOSE TO THE PASTOR ZOMGGGGG SO RACIIIIIIIIIIIST LYNCH HIIIIIIIIM" but fuck them. I'm so proud that he even addressed such a tabboo topic.

I ♥ this man!

What did you guys think of it?

Um, in other news, nothing else really happened today. My teeth feel all rotted out from a brownie I ate today because it was so good and rich :S

Um...yeah, that's about it. :)

I'll have a better post when Spring Break starts.

Oh, and skins...well...damn it was a weird episode but I'm glad things are starting to sort of get back to normal.

Alright, bye!

ETA: Lolz at the white conservative commentators going all, "WHY IS OBAMA CONCENTRATING ON RACE NAO?" when they're the ones who made it a huge fucking deal to begin with. Fucking stupid cunts.

As of last night I finally caught up on Skins, thus...

SKINS DISCUSSION PLEASE.

( WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?! SPOILERS AND FABNESS BTW )

Okay, that's it for now. Today I get to see my mom in the hospital again! She was complaining about not getting a tuna sandwich when I talked to her earlier but everything seems to be okay today :)

Hmm...



DISCUSS.

AKA I have nothing of much substance to post about. Back surgery update: my mom was 90% better yesterday according to dad and even walked today so this is good news! Oterwise, it's been a prettygood day, had piano class, and now I'm sitting here on my arse.

ETA: Dear LJ/inbox,

NOTIFY ME OF MY FUCKING COMMENTS PLZ.

No love,

Moi

Hi :)

Um, I have quite a few things to update on since my little hiatus but I'm so busy getting work done tonight.

So, meme time?

Pick a fictional character from a fandom I know and I'll answer the following questions:

1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.
2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?
4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance-wise or platonic)
6) Is there anything about the character you would change?
7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)
8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom?
10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?

Ya'll should know my fandoms by now so...yeah :)

By the way, haha, oh HP club.

But what's new, guys? My abscense was probably hardly noticed but it feels good to be posting again, even though another hiatus might be soon :(

Okay, bye guys ♥

A few things:

1) I might finally get my new glasses today! Eeeee!

2) How good does this sound? I watched the episode last night and I think I might make it today.

3) I ♥ Betwitched.

4) I had the best pineapple ever today. Oh. My. Guuuuh.

But anyway...what I posted for...

HIATUS!

I'm going to be pretty busy the rest of the week and I'm sort of discouraged by LJ at the mo...not to mention a ton of other things (lack of exercise, sucking at practicing piano all of a sudden, the fact that I'll be finding out about colleges by the end of the month, etc). So yeah, I'll be back soon once I get myself into order.

To end: random photo of me while my parents drove me to that GEMS awards thing I was talking about (aka the black people awards):



Okay, bye-bye guys! ♥ I have a list of things to post when I'm off this hiatus so...yeah, expect posts with SOME substance when I'm back (maceroni cook off, fashion show, other pic spams and random photos, etc).

By the way, does anybody know what happened to anemonesque? Has anybody saved any of her fanart? Particularly one of Lily.

Lurve you all! ♥
