- It is dumb to talk about vids when you can't find them on youtube, but uh sit back and pretend. There's a World of Warcraft commercial I saw today with two women playing as their characters in a supermarket. And I loved it, because the females weren't stereotypical ~*gamer girls*~, nor were they wrestling in bikinis. It was refreshing to see women with the same any-girl-off-the-street appearance that men would have in a commercial for something nerdy. (That's another thing: I was sure there'd be a bug-eyed guy staring at them or applauding at the end, but nope. Just ladies.)

- I booked my plane tickets for D*C and for staying at prix_etoile's house a week beforehand. Sooo psyched guys. I wonder if tickets for the aquarium are still available?

70 year-old Buddhist monk Hua Chi has been praying in the same spot at his temple in Tongren, China for over 20 years. His footprints, which are up to 1.2 inches deep in some areas, are the result of performing his prayers up to 3000 times a day. Now that he is 70, he says that he has greatly reduced his quantity of prayers to 1,000 times each day.

( Way to go )

I have lived in townhouses and apartments all my life. I think this is why I like rainy weather so much. There's something about a perfectly uniformed, desaturated neighborhood against a gray sky that reminds you of futuristic dystopian movies from the 80s. Any minute now, policing robots are going to come out of those creepy looking trees to make sure you haven't been reading books, and it's going to be so exciting. Also, rain sounds pretty.

This is a video of a dog milking a goat.



I wish I could wear the same white Puma sneakers everywhere, but this isn't okay.

PLEASE VIOLENTLY SHOVE SOME PROMPTS AT ME. I am having major writer's block right now and I'm trying to make myself at least open the two fics I was trying to finish, but I'm just watching MTV and avoiding making phone calls instead. You should know by now what I'll write. (I can't say I'll finish everything that's suggested, but I could really use a list to pick-and-choose from.) :D?

- I have had Things happen in the past couple of days and haven't been able to go anywhere, and my friends haven't been mad at me for canceling our plans, even though I'm the one who moved 300 miles away and should work harder to be involved in their lives. ♥

- About three weeks ago I was at school late on a Sunday. I went to get dinner, was walking through the park at dusk on the way back to campus, and I just stopped. I stood dead in my tracks and stared and the most gorgeous cherry blossom tree I'd ever seen, with the sunlight pouring behind it. I don't know how long I stood there, just watching it with the contrasting bright grass and glimmering buildings in the background.

- My mom and I had a fight this morning and we stopped because my dog started crying.

Spoilers/review for Fate of the Jedi: Omen~

( Leia wasn't sure, but she could have sworn she saw Han blush a little as his granddaughter cheerfully rattled off the words 'mating season.' )

( I am going to conduct an experiment to see if I can get sick of staring at Jenny Lewis )

I am half-way done with Omen. Mara. Mara Jade come back here. Your son is fat. Fat as his grandpoppy.

RIP Officer Stephen Tyrone Johns. You did not deserve this.

I'm not going to pretend that I'm a fully compassionate person. I want Brunn to get what's coming to him. Sorry. But if he dies, the motherfucker is going to be seen as a martyr by white supremacists. There's no way around it.

It's been a long night. Our kitchen and bathroom's been disemboweled more than we thought it would be, for faaar more many days than we expected, and ick, it's a mess. At least we got free pizza and oranges out of the deal. :D?

( Rants, kinda )

It's a nice summer night here. I hope you guys in this hemisphere are having a nice summer night, too. ♥

ANNNNNNNNND HAPPY BIRTHDAY aizome




I made you a cake, but Anakin eated it. :(

Title: Pillow Talk
Characters/Pairings: Han/Leia, Obi/Siri, Bail/Breha, Obi/Ani, Corran/Mirax

AND THEN prix_etoile TOLD ME TO WRITE A STORY ABOUT WES JANSON, INYRI FORGE & THEIR KID MEETING SOME MERBIWANS

( OH LAWD )

I thought Stephen King lived up north? I don't think he's in the area to murder Floridians. This is the dude's website.

I was so exhausted when I came home today that for a glorious three seconds, as I was checking all of our doors to make sure they were locked before taking a nap, I hallucinated that Morgan Freeman was trying to figure out the GPS on his cellphone in my living room. It was a good nap.

Despite my anger with Pelosi, it still doesn't stop me from shipping her with Harry Reid.

Here's a thing:

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

LOOK it's the mayor of West Hollywood. Well... um... yeah no, my eyesight is horrible and for the longest time, I thought a kid sitting on his daddy's shoulders was the mayor. The mayor of Los Angeles, a few of the plaintiffs & lawyers straight from Sacramento, a whole bunch of city council members, George Takei, Drew Barrymore, & Kathy Griffin made speeches on stage, too. Of course I didn't SEE any of them, for reasons stated above~ I wanted to get more shots of some of the signs.

The march was down Santa Monica Blvd, starting at the edge of WeHo and going to Hollywood & Highland. Everyone went four miles in an hour and a half, not too bad. Met a lot of rad people.

My friends & I didn't know where it would end up, so we parked in Beverly Hills and then stressed out about getting back to the car. The walk back itself wouldn't have been so bad, but it was 10pm when the three-minute sit-in in the intersection ended, and we wanted to be back home before midnight. (No, really, three minutes. Possibly two and a half. And the streets were already blocked off. I... don't get it.) So I went on my first subway adventure, and then, um, promptly headed back, because apparently, we can't read. Whatever. It was a nice walk back. Plenty of other folks doing the same thing.

The important thing was that it left everyone feeling a lot more hopeful. Strength in numbers. It reminded me that 2010 is too far off for me to already be a Debbie Downer about, and while it's going to take a lot of work to get this back on the ballot, we can do it. It was slightly depressing that this event was planned no matter what the outcome of the court's decision, and as uplifting as it was, spirits could have been a million times higher.

Also I learned that I need to exercise more, because I walked about ten miles last night and today I feel like I could beat up Michael Phelps and a bear at the same time.



"Have fun and be safe, ladies!" smiled the LAPD.

A YOUNGISH BLACK CROW FELL INTO OUR YARD AND CAN'T FLY AWAY. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO. I'M CONSIDERING CALLING A RE-LOCATION SERVICE, BUT IT OBVIOUSLY HAS A NEST IN A NEARBY TREE BECAUSE ITS PARENTS ARE CIRCLING THE HOUSE AND YELLING AT IT FOR BEING THE ~*SPECIAL*~ KID OF THE FAMILY.

MY MOTHER IS ACTING LIKE THE BIRD IS A KITTEN AND IS TRYING TO COAX IT INTO A BOX.






IT'S NOT GOING INTO THE BOX.

ETA: CRISIS AVERTED. THANKS GUYS ♥

Even though just the headline of this article sent me into a rage, I can't help but wonder if it would be less if it wasn't written only a few days after The Sarah Connor Chronicles was canceled. Because obviously, no women enjoy this franchise.

In Terminator Salvation, we'll get to see John's wife Kate super prego and supposedly using her physician skills to help in the war against the machines. It can't hurt to subtly imply that there might be some sweet, tender moments between John Connor and his knocked up wifey.

I don't have words. Eat a dick, Fox.

(I am done complaining on the Internet for the moment. Yesterday after school, I came home and watched more hours of True Life on MTV than I care to admit to. I need a new job.)

Sometimes I put a sweater on my dog.



1. go to your profile and copy your list of friends.
2. bold those you've met in person.
3. italicize those you've spoken to on the phone.
4. underline those you've texted.

( beating like a hammer )

I can't wink without one side of my face folding over. I would make an awful spy :(

- I liked the Supernatural finale for every reason everyone else disliked it. It was so good in an oh my god, are they serious, this is fantastic way. ( Spoilers for the last few episodes of season 4. )

- I am one of the last people to see Star Trek, and ( lol. )

- Last night, I couldn't remember the name of my tiny!Leia's PB. I searched around on imdb for a little while and then promptly freaked out when I saw that it was Genevieve Buechner, who's playing Tamara Adama on Caprica. I... get my kicks where I can. :|

- I'll try to be on AIM tonight, but I forgot that I said I would bake cupcakes for some GSA function tomorrow. I thought I learned my lesson about volunteering myself.

- sevendaymile! Someone I know IRL is listed as a fan of American Indie on Facebook. They didn't hear about it from me. :-O Your promotion skills rock.

IT'S DUGGAR TIME

I thought my iPod died today. That was an awful ten minutes.

P.S. I hope all you moms had a great day! ♥

1. I wrote this for prix_etoile, because she's been having a rotten time lately. :|

Title: Oh, Inverted World
Rating: G
Characters: Allana, Jacen, TKKKK
Notes: This is really corny, and I'm not going to apologize. ♥

( at long last it's crashed )

2. I need a new phone. My main phone is a tiny Verizon pre-paid deal with as much memory as a keychain calculator. I want something with a keyboard because I text people more than I call, and using numbers to compose messages is irritating. It's never fast enough and I type like a motherfucker. But eugh. Money.

3. I've been in a funk lately because school is going fine in the long-run, but right now, I'm taking my math and science requirements and I feel like such a dumbass. I think I'm probably going to fail Algebra at midterms. I keep making the silliest of mistakes.

I mean, I've always spent my weekends at school, but now things seem like they've changed for some reason. For the first time since I started college, my lack of a life is starting to bother me. Okay, there's worse things I could be doing all the time other than school, but I think I'm starting to get jealous of my friends who actually get to have weekends. I've felt lonelier than usual lately.

Maybe I need to eat more apples.

2. ( This is a bunch of old, old, old journaling about camp )

3. This is my current mood:

5. This is the Clown Wras character I have a new Pez dispenser of: Ahsoka. She came with cherry flavored re-fills.
