I am full of glee that France won! Yay, France! :DD

I also went to see The Devil Wears Prada this morning with the incomparable nadia_skye and we had quite a nice time. Meryl Streep really is quite the actress. And the guy behind us enjoyed it a lot. Heh.

I got mail from my beloved thinkpink4891 and it was lovely. Thanks, sweetie.

This movie is really on crack and totally awesome in a cover-your-eyes-and-weep kind of way. This movie is brilliant and cracktastic, and made by someone with too much time on their hands. (both worksafe, btw)

The end.

Oh, PS, I forgot to say. I also got my ACT results back today. I wasn't expecting them to be very good because I wasn't feeling well the day on the test and couldn't concentrate properly, but I managed a 31 which is both two points up from my score the first time I took it, and a pretty decent score on the whole. Yay me.

It's January 27th.


There have been some things on my mind lately. I just wanted to let everyone know that I've done some thinking, and reevaluating where I stand on certain issues.

First, George Bush really is a good, intelligent man. He does a great job of leading our country, and I highly respect everything he's done. Gays and lesbians are freaks, and abominations under God. Abortion equals murder, and military prowess is the only way to get respect in the global community.

Secondly, since gays and lesbians are icky, I'm backing away from the slash. Actually, I'm leaving the entire Harry Potter fandom, because God says magic is bad. And he says gayness is bad. So stories about gay wizards? Double bad!

Thirdly, I've really had far more time on my hands than I've led all you to believe. I just don't want to spend anymore time on LJ than I have to. It takes away from valuable time with my family and studying. I'm about to do a mass defriending of everyone on my flist.

Fourthly, LotR was really an atrocious movie. It was a bad interpretation of an even worse book. Viggo is a HORRIBLE actor, and Orlando Bloom and Dominic Monaghan are not good looking at all. And Sean Astin/Sam is so absolutely retarded! I laughed my head off at the "Go home, Sam" scene.

On the subject of Dom--Lost really sucks. I was just watching it because everyone else was. But no more! Now, the only thing I will watch is Dr. Phil. The Shannon/Boone backstory was the final straw. And that terrorist! I don't know why they even let an Arab on the set!

Lastly, PLACEBO SUCKS!!!



(Ouch. Some of that really, really hurt to write.)

You all should send me an email. Or leave me an entertaining comment. Or give me some cool links. BORED, people, BORED.

Or we could do a meme? How about, for every detail you tell me about yourself, I'll tell you the same number of things about myself. They don't have to be big or anything--it could be something like how you secretly love anchovies, or something. And when I comment, I'll try to give you something of about equal importance.

I did that quiz that everyone on my flist has done, about the Harry Potter alter-ego. And I got my results, and the first two sentences read as follows: Your alter ego is Hermionie Granger. Your one intelligent witch.

AIRasg'iah'g! Maybe this is just me being a grammar Nazi again, but your instead of you're literally makes my fingers clench up. My. ABSOLUTE. BIGGEST. pet peeve. I don't mind the occasional typo, but the person who wrote this quiz made that mistake repeatedly(In ways like "Your not very tolerant of stupidity.") And I hate it.

In other news, I was reading the NYTimes in my email this afternoon, and I saw this blurb:
Freeing Sex Slaves: A Year Later
What has happened to Srey Neth in the year since Nicholas D. Kristof purchased the freedom of the Cambodian prostitute? With an interactive feature.

An...interactive feature? About sex slaves? *snerk*

I look really, really cute today. AND I'M FREEZING MY ARSE OFF. Why on earth am I wearing fucking FLIP-FLOPS on the coldest day of the year so far?

Oh my god, it's finally back!!! Oh! I am so very happy! W00t w00t! Being on madcow sucked like you would not believe. But anyway, I'm back now, thank all the ell-jay gods. But, if LJ ever does go down again, you can find me at greatestjournal under the same name.

( Rambles )

( I finally watched ep13 of Lost and )

I am very bored. I also have a rather large music collection. So, pick a time from 2:30 to 5:30, and if I have a song that length, I'll upload it and you can listen to it. Yay!

I had started a picspam, but I lost it when LJ went down, and I don't feel like doing it again, so. That's all for now.

No, I didn't just spend my *entire* afternoon playing Viridian Room...and then starting on blue.

Ok, so maybe I did. But I beat it! HAH! With far less cheating than it took for me to beat Crimson! Oh, those games. They make me want to beat something with a big stick until it gives me the answers! Grr!! But they're great, great fun, and a wonderful way to kill an hour or two (or three, depending on how much you cheat). But a warning, they are incredibly addicting. You won't want to stop until you've beaten the damn thing. Grr. But, very fun! Viridian is my favorite, although I haven't finished Blue yet and it might redeem itself.

Someone is seriously the fuck out to get me. The third--third time I got to just past 40% in downloading a Lost episode that I've missed, something happens. The first and second time, someone logged me out in the middle of downloading. This time, there was no way I was going away from my computer while it was downloading, I don't care if it was going to take until two in the morning. And so I'm downloading, and it gets to 40%, and I'm like, haha! I finally made it! And then like five minutes later I got some kind of error message and the whole thing closed. I'm going to go cry now.

But anyway,

As it is now no longer Friday, Things I Found/Learned While Reading queenofalostart's Flist:

-Some people don't like DashCon

-Almost everyone I ran across was doing the flist swap

-There are a lot of memes going around her flist that all of my flist did a while ago (the lyrics one and the three things), but they have a few cool new ones that I think are going to hit here, real big, real soon (the movie one, the slash questionaire) and about as many people over there are doing the first line thing as over here

-I don't know if this counts, because I found out via opiumcoffeebean who is also on my flist, but since I saw it there first--Alan Rickman to Voice Marvin in "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" !!!


-Found this uber-fun poll! It's pitting Disney villians against each other! Yay!

-Gorgeous cowboy!Viggo fic

-Random supercool links

-Best interpretation of Paul I've read in a long time

-Some people are really rather dumb

Hmm. I think having that entry dated December 2010 messed with my posts a lot, so I deleted it. My posts weren't showing up on people's flists, because when LJ's software checked if I'd updated, it only saw the 2010 entry, and so assumed I hadn't updated since then. Dumb LJ. I hope things are working properly now--if you could leave a comment if this is on your flist, I'd be happy. Thanks!

I've been thinking about some things. No one ever knows how much time they have left. Any day could be any person's last day. And what if someone dies and you haven't said something to them, something you wanted/needed to say? I'd like to offer up my comment space for everyone to say those things they've been meaning to say but have been too scared/busy/ashamed/whatever to say. If you want to direct your comments to me, that's fine. If you want to talk to someone else, on or off LJ, that's cool too. Post anon if you want, or don't. These can be I-love-you-so-much comments, or they can be go-fuck-yourself comments. It doesn't matter so long as they're honest.

Alternatively, if you don't want to think about the other person dieing, think about all the things you'd want to say if you were to die tomorrow.
