HAPPY 49TH BIRTHDAY, SEAN BEAN! 8D STILL LOOKING GORGEY!

(of course I will probably be saying that even when he's older than dirt, but.)

Internet is mostly dead. This post is An Ordeal in and of itself. Also, in other news, GMU only JUST NOW deigned to inform me that they need my SAT scores.

I would be crying if I wasn't laughing so hard right now. No, wait, those are tears.

Fuckhat.

Spring Break, but not. [Mar. 28th, 2008|01:05 pm]
[Current Mood | numb]
[Current Music |"Deep" - Nine Inch Nails]

Things I learned during Spring Break:

1. I am a Metro fiend.
2. Despite being a Metro fiend, I cannot for the life of me navigate aboveground in downtown DC.
3. When I get lost in downtown DC, I will automatically gravitate towards the nearest bookstore.

Yeah. xD It's not quite that extreme, but that was the short and short of what happened last Thursday. DC is awesome and I wish I could go into town more often. Mostly because when I was walking back to mom's office from the nearby Borders, I swear to God I saw something going down. As I was going to cross I street, there was a car stopped at the intersection (obviously a government car, because you can just tell). The passenger side door was open and there were a few serious-looking men in suits and Bluetooth headsets clustered nearby.

Gov'mint work. Fact.

WILL FINISH POST WHEN I GET HOME 8D

Oh, and, uh, Rachel tried to kill herself today, apparently, which is Most Distressing. I've already lost one person to suicide, dammit, I won't lose another. I'd go into more detail, but I'm just feeling numb. And sleep-deprived. And it's not really anybody else's business.

And now for something completely different...RANDOM CIA MACRO FEATURING MHS GRADUATE ( beneath the cut. )

Katsucon and an astounding revelation [Feb. 17th, 2008|06:50 pm]
[Current Mood | chipper]
[Current Music |"Solid Gold Easy Action" - The Fratellis]

So. Katsucon!

(I've noticed that I say "So." or "But." a lot as full sentences to preface things when I speak and/or write. Verbal tic or endearing habit? We report, you decide.)

Sara and I slept over at Christine's house on Friday night so we could all get up bright 'n early to get to the Omni Shoreham before the registration line got ridonkulous (because we didn't end up pre-registering, like the idiots we are). That done, we woke up at six, and I even beat the alarm by a minute because I am that awesome. Since Christine persuaded us all to do GetBackers cosplay, Sara was Kazuki, I was Ban (because, apparently, I AM BAN), and Christine, predictably, was Akabane. So we all piled into the car and got Christine's dad to drive us. We got there at around 7:30. Rachel, Mark, and Charlie (Hevn, his own character, and...um...I forgot who Charlie cosplayed as) were there before us. There was already a very small line, so we stood in it while the Katsu staff went off on a registration form quest.

Then Rachel picked at her fingers so much they bled. Again. We berated her and Sara dragged her off to the Katsu EMTs to get her fingers bandaged up. We then proceeded to beat the shit out of her each time she picked/bit anywhere near them later. Once we were all registered and had our shiny con badges (shiiiiiny), we ran off to the Artists' Alley. They were still setting up. We ran off to the Merchants Room. That didn't open up until ten. Then we decided to run off to the vidjamagaming room. You must keep in mind that this was at 8:30 in the morning. Sara was a DDR Robot as per usual, and I got bored with Halo very very quickly. xD

From then on I spent much of the day in the Artists' Alley and Merchants Room. We bought Pocky and Ramune (that yummy soda with the glass bead and the thing). Sara got to meet Mookie of Dominic Deegan fame, and I got to meet Chris Hastings of Dr. McNinja. I really, really wanted the "Ninjas Can't Catch You If You're On Fire" shirt, but I was flat broke by the time I decided to get it. :(

At noon, we went for lunch. Yum yum hotel buffet. I also decided to switch up my costume from Ban to Shaun (tie around my head and all). As we ate, we decided to play Cliff, Shag, or Marry. The most amusing one was when I posed the question of "Ban, Ginji, and Akabane" to Christine. She literally froze mid-hot dog and her eyes got really wide. xD When Rachel put the question of "Jack O'Neill, Jack Harkness, and Alec" to me, I immediately cliffed O'Neill. THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR SPLITTING UP MY OTP DAMMIT. NEVER MIND THAT THE OTP IS SO UNCANON IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY. Don't remember what I did with remaining Jack and Alec. Like it matters - mention the word "commitment" to either of those two and they're suddenly like "oh hay look a rift surge I have to go jump through, kkbai". Whores. I also asked Rachel "Simon, Nick, and Edgar", and she cliffed Edgar, shagged Nick, and married Simon. I was like "D: HOW YOU CLIFF EDGAR?!". She asked me, and I said "Cliff Rachel, shag the rest. 8D" Emoticon and all.

So yeah. Lots of fun mental scarring there.

I ended up buying a button for me (which I will explain later), a button for Markoff that I think he will enjoy much, and two t-shirts, one of which is YGO-abridged-related. Yes, TAS had a representative there. I wanted to get all of the TAS shirts, but again, the moneys issue. Everyone else got "Screw the rules, I have money", but I got "Limey Man". Yay for standing out. I wanted the "In America!" one, too...oh well. This is what online ordering is for, after all.

At two, Sara and I went to go meet up with more dollie people (yaaaay), and she then buggered off to The Land Of People Who Never Have Their Fucking Cell Phones With, aka the gaming room. (Trying to get in touch with everybody after the dollmeet made me very very very very very very very pissed.) The dollmeet was fun, though, and I swapped a sweater of Resinthing's for...A PAIR OF SHOES. HE HAS SHOES THAT FIT NOW. They are nice, and I am ridiculously happy with them.

Insert thirty minutes of being pissed at my group for being retards here. On the plus side, I saw a Witch-King cosplayer, a few Jedi, and another Shaun cosplayer who actually looked like Simon Pegg, a little (read: not like me at all). I high-fived him, since he also had a fake cricket bat. He also had his tie around his head.

I would have stayed later, but my friends are lame and had to leave at six, so I had to go, too. There was more MetroFail on Christine's part since she tried to use her farecard as a Metro SpeedPass (this will only make sense to Washingtonians, but still, lolwtfchristinefail.) And then, even with MetroFail on the part of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (yes, do epic platform repairs during a CON WEEKEND), we got home in a timely manner. Hooray.

Now is the time for...button explanation and the aforementioned astounding revelation! ( Tally ho! )

Yum yum candy, Mk II! [Feb. 14th, 2008|06:25 pm]
[Current Mood | satisfied]
[Current Music |Jeopardy, which I am pwning at]

I got to chill out with Meredyth ([info]lyriael) two Saturdays ago, and we went to go see National Treasure 2 at the AMC Courthouse. Yes, it is still playing in some places. I know.

Anyway, since I was watching it with Meredyth, what did we do but talk during the movie? It was like the Satellite of Love up in there, or that one time we saw Revenge of the Sith when there were only two other people in the whole theatre. This showing had a decent turnout, though. Didn't stop us from snarking at it.

Of course we pointed out plot holes. What else do we do in life? We point out plot holes and mock poorly-researched stuff. And it's a load of fun. Okay, there were some good parts. Really. Especially the part where Ben pretends to be drunk in Buckingham Palace and mocks British people to some bobbies (seriously), the car chase in DC (seriously), and Riley's obvious little man-crush on Ben (seriously. And yes, that is the scientific term).

And then we stayed up until four in the morning watching Hot Fuzz. Life is good.

Blah blah blah, not much, blah blah blah.

I was sooo sick on Tuesday. After my presentation in first period I hailed a cab and went home. Yesterday there was a two-hour delay, and when we got to school, the power was out, so they had to send us home. Much lulz.

Today, though...aaaah, I liked today. When I walked in and went to the Black Box, Markoff greeted me with a fuzzy black teddy bear/cat thing and a box o' choc-o-lates. Later in the day, Rachel bestowed a chocolate rose upon me, and Sara gave me a flower. Then Markoff and I skipped out on lunch to Subway for foods, and he treated. I love my Jew-boy. DBQ in Euro and quiz in Trig (that I missed on Tuesday), not so much.

I also made a hoodie for my resincreature out of an old pair of mom's socks. I have no life. x3

from the dardanelles to the mountains of peru [Jan. 24th, 2008|04:49 pm]
[Current Mood | dorky]
[Current Music |Smash Lab on TiVo]

I've been having smellitory halucinations all day. (Yes, I know the word is 'olfactory'. I like 'smellitory' better.) See, one of my uncanny talents is to be able to smell an orange - a freshly-opened orange - from about thirty to fifty feet away. In Law in Action, after the midterm was done, the scent of an orange tickled my nose. I looked around for its source and discovered that the girl who was about to eat the orange had just broken its skin and was still peeling it. She was also on the opposite side of the classroom. This is also very funny because I have been sick recently and my nose has been stuffed up.

It didn't stop there. In Euro, I could smell something like strawberries, and for the life of me couldn't find where it was coming from. And now, sitting here, at my computer, I am smelling pine. Most people would say that's from the Christmas tree. We didn't have a Christmas tree this year. And the scent floats around the room!

Maybe it's my brain being weird. Dunno.

CompGraph was lots of fun today. Grefe was out, and we had Mr. Hollowell for our sub. He doesn't care about what we're supposed to be doing. Mo and I played Quake III against each other for at least half an hour, and then I went to reading webcomics. A lot. Yay for being productive.Oh - I made this icon during CG. Guess I was productive. I'm sorry, I'm sorry! That phrase and his stupid haircut just popped into my head as I was walking to CG! D:

And I think, now that midterms and One-Acts are over, something's snapped in my brain and I can write again. It's a good feeling.

Oh! Saw Sweeney Todd on Monday. It was epic and grand and made me draw dresses that don't totally suck, so I am happy. The only thing that killed me was having songs from it stuck in my head during my Trig midterm. Oh well, I was going to fail it anyway.

I almost forgot! I have something to ask you, flist. Barring Jean Prouvaire (who I know I'll app at some point anyway), who should I app next cycle of Landel's? Here's my current list:

-Shaun (Shaun of the Dead)
-Nicholas Angel (Hot Fuzz) note: Sara has agreed to app Danny if I do.
-James (Pokémon) note: Christine and Stephanie have agreed to app Jessie and Meowth if I do.
-Largo (Megatokyo) note: Sara has agreed to app Hayasaka Erika if I do.
-Dan Vasser (Journeyman)

I'll do up some sample posts for each. Dan's will be the hardest, I think, since as of late Journeyman has only had thirteen episodes, and I don't think I know his character too well. (And according to some sources, there'll be no more Journeyman, which makes me sad.)

Not much else to say, but...rest in peace, Heath Ledger. We shall always remember you as a brilliant young actor with much potential and incredible skills. You will be missed.

[Current Music |"Planet Hell" - Nightwish]

Why do I always play men with issues? Always! Alec is Mr. Walking Trust Issues, Nick has intimacy issues up the yin-yang...and why do my men always have these issues and never my women? Furthermore, why are amnesia and recurring dreams such huge themes with me? Seriously. First it was Gavin, then I became enraptured with Jason Bourne, and now Kitty has both amnesia and recurring dreams that may end up reversing her amnesia and I'm tying it all up with obscure references to literary!Bourne and grah why am I such a loser.

Oh! Choppa's party. It was fun. Nice to see him again, since, you know, he's in boarding school somewhere two and a half hours south. :( I miss my Choppa. Party was great fun, which is honestly a lot better than I expected. I hate parties. But this party was cool because one of Choppa's friends brought a katana ( a really dull katana but still), and I got to play with it. Yaaaaaay. Also everyone's cell phone failed in terms of getting-in-touch-with-my-people and I got picked up an hour after everyone else left. Slightly less yaaaaaaaaaaay.

And this is why I obviously had too much caffeine at Choppa's party (dammit, I was gonna work on my Landelfic...):

[Current Music |"We Are The Champions" - Queen]

We're watching Contact in Geosystems. I approve. I am also saying half the lines along with the movie, since a) it's one of my favorite movies and b) the source material was by Carl Sagan, and if you know anything about me and science and liking it, Carl Sagan is, like, my personal science god. Was. He's dead now. :( Anyway. Oh, and c) I'm a dork.

I came home to find a binder full of all my report cards, awards, and achievements since fifth grade, and it made me feel better about the whole college debacle. I hate being judged and found wanting, it's bordering on a phobia for me. I know I shouldn't care what other people think of me, but that's what the whole damn admissions process is. T_T Seeing that binder, though, improved my mood. No matter what, they can't take that away from me. Oh, damn, now I'm humming.

There was something else epic today, too. I was chatting with Markoff in the hallway, and some junior girls passed by, and one of them said in this really snotty way, "Don't, like, block up the whole hallway."

Okay, granted, that is a pet peeve of mine. But we weren't blocking the hall, we were more off to the side than anything. And she was one of those little twits, you know, the ones who think they're so popular and cool just because they're rich? Yeah. That kind. They piss me off even more. So, jokingly, I said, "Senior privelege."

Bam, the little bitch was all up in my face, being all like "You wanna go? You wanna go? Huh? Huh?"

"Yeah, I wanna go. Right here. Right now. Let's go. You wanna go?" I asked, driven mad by power and staring at a computer screen for the better part of two hours.

Amazingly, she backed down. Amber and I left, 'cause I had to go to Euro. Amber says I was channeling Alec. She's wrong - if I was, I'd have punted the little bitch into the wall.

Alec is not a nice man.

I was then told that, psychologically, I did everything that I was supposed to do, and I did it by instinct alone. It was like something straight out of Animal Planet. Or Darrin Brown. So...I suppose I'm intimidating? Huh...well, I'm happy. And now that you've seen my mildly amusing anecdote for the day, I'm going to go study Trig. Badda-bing, badda-boom.

...I'll stop now.

[Current Music |The Biggest Loser on TV]

So, as punishment for me calling Ms. Chyen incompetent all last year, God, being a vindictive type, has decided to stick me in her class. Again. For Trig. Are we never to be free? Not that I didn't try and get out of her class, but what with my schedule...oh. My schedule. I changed my schedule about six times in the first week, I think. Finally they just lumped me into some classes and called it a day, which isn't so bad as I get Law in Action (but had to drop Theatre, boo). Oh, and we're not getting computers in CompGraph until tomorrow. Lol whut. I swear to God, I've now been enrolled in half of the electives that McLean offers.

What else? Oh, we had surprise summer reading that nobody bothered to send me the memo about, so I had to read Invisible Man (the crap one by Ralph Ellison) over a less-than-48-hour period before the essay test. Yikes.

Latin is fab, with 98% more sex jokes than last year. Which is a good thing, if you live on the Planet of the Mad, which I do. Euro...well, it's Howell, so it's challenging, but I think I can overcome. Geosystems with Sabelli is nice, 'cause we can talk about Star Trek and Heroes and Lost and what have you. Law in Action's Plunkett - no danger there, although I heard he did throw a chair at someone once.

OH GOD I'M SORRY I ABANDONED YOU. *sob*

Right. I'm done being a complete and total spaz. But not really. So! Life.

Summer break's been cool so far. I got As on all my finals (which means that Ms. Chyen is incompetent). Of course, mum's been pressuring me to get a job or something. Yeah. Lovely. Except for the fact that I'm too young to work almost anywhere. And I'm feeling pressured to get into an Ivy League school, never mind the fact that I won't be able to stand out from all the other chumps applying to the Ivies next year unless I pull off a really kickass, sarcastic essay (which I'm already drafting in my head).

Oh. And Lady Marmelade just started spontaneously bleeding behind her right eye this morning (it's contained in the eye) and apparently she's bleeding behind the left one, too. So she's in the hospital right now, because, also, her blood won't clot properly, and she may have to lose one or both eyes due to the pressure and such. Hello, possibly-blind cat. Goodbye, one thousand dollars. (Srsly. Veterinary care is fucking expensive.) When are we going to get some socialized medicine up in this joint?

We don't get any info on her until tomorrow...so wish her luck.

I haven't been able to RP much anywhere due to general chaos, except for Valcentica, but that requires next to no effort, as Kitty is basically an extension of myself and Valcentica!Alec is...well, he's just insane. APOLOGIES ALL. D:

Okay. Hitcher recap coming...soon. Well, soon-ish, once I get around to finishing it. The recap, I mean - seen the movie twice already. xD And I have to watch the deleted scenes and alternate ending, yay. Full of the stuff that was too gory for theaters. Barrie prom was great. I really, really want to go there for reals, but the commute is a bit much. They had virtual bowling at the after-prom and I got to chat with their principal about the finer points of playing PC first-person shooters. xD It was rad. I'll have pics up soon.

Anyway, life's been all right for the past few days. AP Lang exam is DONE, which means no more AP for a while. Yay. In Lang, we ordered a pizza and watched episodes of The Simpsons, so sucks to be everyone who cut class. xP

Yesterday was shit, but nobody wants to hear about it. Today, however, was awesome. I got a 39/40 on the National Latin Exam (which translates into a Nice Big Gold Shiny at some point in the near future), I got called out of Latin to go down to Guidance, where I discovered that I'm now a semi-semi-finalist for the National Merit Scholarship Thingy, we had a nice discussion of evil in AP Lang (which culminated in about half the class probably thinking I'm a psycho killer just waiting to happen), and we had a Burning Tornado Drill during Lang. What is a Burning Tornado Drill, you ask? Why, it's Fairfax County's half-assed timesaving measure to get rid of those pesky required fire and tornado drills in one fell swoop. Devious. Lunch was excellent also (although my body hates me now - four bread rolls and some cake Kristen made in Gourmet Foods may be delicious, but not exactly the best thing to give to someone coming off of a detox. Nonetheless, my inner moocher was content).

In entirely unrelated news, after exams are over and done with, I hereby pledge to write long, amusing, Agony Booth-style reviews of the following movies (some of which may end up submitted to Sixwinter): Eragon, Airborne, Ronin, Patriot Games, Man of the Year (aka The Most Schizophrenic Movie Ever), and GoldenEye.

Since this entry is NOT backdated, and I am obviously psychic, I shall speak of toda--tomorrow's events. Muahah.

On Monday we got out of school due to extreme winds. And then there was the VT thing, which was very insane and full of WTFery. Any condolences I may offer could sound insincere, so I'll just say that people are scum.

Tues--I mean, today was...eh, all right, I suppose. Everyone was all sad because of VT.

Toda--shit, tomorrow was "eh" as well. Day of Silence. Fun times. I participated, though it made me sad how few people did.

In other news, I am currently wondering why the hell my GoldenEye DVD is sitting in ATLANTA, GEORGIA. WTF, USPS? It was in Bethesda about four days ago. That's what, twenty miles away, tops? Even going via Beltway? So why the bloody hell did they send it to Atlanta? See, I'm pissed, because I wanted to celebrate Beany's birthday with the DVD. Oh well, it can be a belated celebration.

If I don't get my DVD tomorrow, I will cry real tears.
