Target had a massive sale on television series.$13 for House, babe, and Heroes (season two) and a dozen other beauitimos things. As my family works, I picked out some of them - then I'm getting them for Christmas :D Makes my mom's life much easier, and makes me supeh happy.

I also found FMA - the third anime volume - which I'm been searching for. Got it for $2 <3

We also celebrated my birthday earlier - I got Pushing Daises (season one) and Coraline ('cause it was quite an awesome movie). And then some art kits - origami and garden stones, which both prove interesting.

I'm about halfway through with Midnight Sun. Also good.

Tomorrow or Sunday, I'm going to see The Producers finally.

And we have delicious Thanksgiving leftovers.

And, this break, is free of homework overload.

My only holdback is the fact that I ignored my fanfiction account for too long, but I have too much to do. Gomenasai <3

Hope everyone else is feeling just as fabulous :D

You may have been living under a rock if you weren't aware of the controversy that surrounds Disney - the sublimial messages, or unrealistic role models, racism, stereotypes, etc., etc.

However, I'm finding it pretty exciting that this upcoming movie, The Princess and The Frog, seems to be trying to bring the magic back, but with more positive messages. I dunno... we'll see :3

Other news: I got through Twilight, and then new moon. I've seen both movies, and have started on the outtakes that are available on Meyer's website, the partial 264-page draft of Midnight Sun, and checked out Eclipse. My opinion remains the same, now more informed, and still as strong. My essay is due December 11 (as is the presentation) so I hope to finish the series (Midnight Sun included) and those deleted scenes. I've also checked out another novel purely for entertainment, but I'm going to have to turn it in if I want to finish anything.(City of bones -Cassandra Clare). All of this is why I'm been silent in many regards

Time to celebrate Thanksgiving ~<3

Today, I'm going to start reading Fanfiction in Spanish - now that we went over the verb tenses <3 I just print 'em out, and go on with the day. The best part seems to be not being sure on what I'm getting myself into 'cause I can't read Spanish, obviously, as fast as I can read English. All too interesting.

Despite the fact that the toilet backed up and I've been dying for a shower, it's been a glorious sort of day. I find things to be happy about. For example, I haven't fallen behind in assignments, I feel like I did a decent job on a test (the ear's structure and how we hear) - in Anatomy & Physiology, no less :] and I didn't spill my morning chai tea. (Since I can't find the lid, I drove with it in hand and kept it both warm and safe for the day :D)

Later today, my mother and I are going to go through applications for jobs and colleges - which will let out a large amount of stress I've had bottling up.

I've also finished Twilight, which gets me a step closer to being done on my essay for English. I've picked up the second book for some light reading and fact checking - but will leave any wonderful examples from my presentation, as it is over the first one, really. (Someone else in the class is doing the third book, and, I think arguing it has literary merit)

My creativity is on the rise, as well, and I've been spawning the most amazing sentences out of no where - not sure where they'll go though, but it's such a plus.

Summarizing ~ I feel like I'm in control of my life right now.

Now I'm off to get lost in Fanfiction, a luxury that I sincerely miss.

Sometimes people get bored and google things. Sometimes people just wish they could get out of the sort of slump for ideas. And sometimes people stumble onto something so wonderful that they can't help wondering "How did I not know about this?" So, how about we collaborate, and become a part of the last sort of people, k?
( Here's some stuff I've found so far~ )

More to be added, I just need to save this before I lose it again. I will, however, post it early and let you all add on to the list.

Today, my brother begged for me to buy the new Call of Duty game - 'cause I'm 17 and all. (The game is M/17 and up) which is inappropiately timed, as he needs to keep the money for a gift for our mom.

I wanted to get my mother's birthday gifts, my friend a gift (both birthdays this week), and some ginger candy to ease indigestion (with no side effects) for my grandmother. So I drove my brother and his friend to church, which I do so my mother doesn't have to leave, and bought the gifts on the way home - kids in tow. I even bought them candy as a surprise for having to put up with the shopping trip somewhat.

And then my brother complains I'm selfish (for not taking him to blow his money off), verbally back stabs me, and has managed to bring me to tears.
 
I don't know why that hurts so much. I think it started much earlier, but I hope it decides to end soon.

One of those over 24 "Anywhere but here" kind. The side that wants to hide somewhere both simplistic and far away - the escapist paradise.

And, by the way, you know you've been working on other languages too long when you can't comprehend the word "full" without thinking "hull", and unsure of what you're reading. That was in the "mood" selection; tis where it came up.

My plan was to attend a college nearby, then transfer to a different state and stay with family for the remainder of my learning. I thought I was going to fall apart when I found out that the plan had a major flaw - all to do with money and stuff.

And then, I went to see a favourite teacher and I ranted at her that the plan was faulty, and now I wasn't even sure if I wanted to be a translator, or a foreign language teacher. She calmly said I would. I told her that I couldn't speak in front of classes. She said she hadn't been able to either. I told her that I didn't want to be a bad teacher. She reassured me I wouldn't.

She makes me feel so much at peace.

I know I can apply for now, and worry a little later. That is now the plan.

Then I will contact the college, work some things out, do more research - but for now, I have a plan. That's good enough.

I'm currently on chapter 14, but an unsettling feeling has been brewing - previous to that reading. It hit me when I read the brief bio on the cover's back flap. A simplistic sentence, really: "Stephenie lives with her husband and three young sons". I had been completely unaware that she had had a husband - because the Twilight series is one huge longing dream of the perfect guy. If you're married, shouldn't you have consented to the perfect guy?

So, I have this project in English, in which, you take the play, and then you make a poster featuring the actors/actresses that you think would best fit each role and then a reason why - all in order to retain individual characteristics and relationships. I, of course, had to delve into my favourite fandoms for this project~

Play: Shakespeare's Twelfth Night
Fandoms: Stargate, Firefly, and Castle

Anna Tramell's getting her act together again, and has posted up two updates:

Dear SmegHead:

I just wanted to tell you how smeggin' wonderful it was for you to decide to work in the school play production and the children's trail of treats on the same day at the same time in the same smeggin' parking lot. It was also particularly lovely to not have a single smeggin' place for those attending the school to park and no directive of these mis-arrangements. I would also like to thank you for putting together all the city pigs to give said "direction". They, indeed, made the night much better. And did I forget to mention the complete lack of information for the actual time for this production and signs in the school that could've brought clarity to the situation? Well, allow me to thank you for that as well.

Really and truly - I'm grateful that I had to miss my best friend's scene in the play or an opportunity to give her any support. I am equally glad not to support another great friend of mine, who has also been my aquintance for six or so years. I can't even begin to describe the luxury of missing out on another thing in my senior year in school; I never want to look back to fond memories. Really.

Signed -
GO FUCK YOURSELF <3

I've never been one to randomly do haiku, but recently I've had a few pop in my head. Thought I'd share them:

( Haiku Love <3 )
Explainations: #001- Tribute to my favourite Halloween movie, with the generic scenario of the hitchhiker that leads to some bad shit. / #002 - It's not attributed to anyone, in case you wondered / #003 - That one goes with a theory I had today and where love is based. I'm so damn proud of it...</div>

There are two worlds that you can take part in - one is the virtual world, and the other, of course, real life.

When the two meet, there's something incredibly strange about it. As if meeting an online friend - how odd would that be? There's a few people I'd always wanted to visit, but there's a sort of weird hesitation about it. It's not that I would like them less or fear of it - it's "I don't know how to act in person with her/him"

My example, however, is with someone at school and Facebook. I recently added back those that added me several people that I've never had the opportunity to know. Thus, I'm speaking with all sorts of people. It's all well and good - until the transcend happens. The worlds collide when the conversation carries over from Facebook to person. It was so odd. I thought "Oh, wow, so it's totally okay to talk to one another outside - in the real world?" It must be obvious enough that I stick out like a sore thumb in a crowd - and I'm totally okay with it. It's all just an odd thing.

Random news - my face is painted epically, and I'm in love with it sentimentality 'cause a friend did it and I don't have the heart to rub it off unless I did it band-aid style - "Quick, don't think, rip it off!"

Off to reading Shakespeare for school

Found that beautiful LJ Cut function. Previous entries look much neater. Also working on bringing as much as I possibly can to the exp_cultures community that I started - more information to digest, all worth it - otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered to post it.

Had another good day - another imposed movie night. I have them almost every Monday <3

Made a friend get a LJ - who may put up lovely fics for you if you ask nicely... that is do_yuzu

I made one. I don't know why yet, but it is created under the same name - sca_sethe

Add Me?

You know how Twilight made vampires "cool" (At least to society)?

And how Myspace and Facebook and instant messaging services made the internet equally "cool"?

And Guitar Hero and Halo made video games "cool"?


Well, now the same is going to happen with zombies with Zombieland -

So what's next? What's going to be taken from the loyal outcasts' personal stash?

Fanfiction is already over-run with half-baked, grammar -mistaken ridden attempts.

Musicals commercialized with High School Musical. 


...what's next?

Today, as my brother was cleaning his room, he gave me his old iPod - a nano video.

*not only does it carry photos and notes, it, well, plays all music files. Which means...
Photos - Kanji, promoting my Japanese learnin'
notes - To carry written out lessons of whatever I need to study, mostly languages ^-^
Audio - So I can hear the language, most helpful for Esperanto - which is available in portable audio format. I also came across a CD for Spanish. <3

Of course, there's also me being able to use this device for some Fanfiction reading - in small doses. And... again, it plays MUSICK! Musicals at all times and social awkwardness to come from my singing passionately along <3



Also, Esperanto seems to go well. I like the ability to work on it as soon as I wake up. I hope to be able to do the same when school starts up again.

Today, I found the word for my sexual orientation.  Which is kind of nice to know.

I've always hated the word "bisexual" because it comes across as "I fuck anything that moves"

Pansexual, however...

That means "I love you for a person, not by your sexual organs or identity."

Which is sort of beautiful. <3

Too much happiness means I need a cool-off period. Which means inevitable, stress-relief tears.

Trading good for bad, I trade generally mind-learning highs - for the usage of my keys. First the "n" and "b" went out - and I've adapted to copying and pasting with CRTL and "V" and an every handy Character Map. now the "s" key is starting to stick. I have it stab it a little. Maybe it'll come back.

Then someone snarks at me for being helpful; and then the snark train continues with another person, to the rescue to defend stupidity.

And then the tears come.
