We are

So it's four in the morning, and it's storming like crazy, so I can't sleep, and guess what? I have to work tomorrow. And all this stuff isn't supposed to be out of here until six. Which means I'm losing three hours of precious sleep out of the eight I usually get. Shit.

But i was actually grateful to wake up from that last dream, 'cause it was bonkers.

( Cut for a VERY random dream... )</div>
So, that's the inside of my head at night, with too much sugar. Scary, neh?

Dear RL Friends: Please stop being so dramatic. The world does not revolve around you.

Dear Family: Stop being pushy, overbearing, and lazy. I will NOT shoulder all of the responsibility for my lazy ass brother. If you want me to do his chores, you better damn well not pay him for "doing" them. And no, I will NOT shut up when you make promises about doing things and then just break them because you are the *adults*. Nor will I simply keep to myself when you act so fucking depressed because the house is dirty. Great. I don't see you cleaning it, all you do is sit around and watch TV and bitch at me.

Dear Coworkers: Please stop being arrogant pricks. The world does not revolve around you either just because you have testosterone. You may not treat me like shit, especially when I have known you for so long and we used to be friends outside of the workplace. Grow up.

Dear LJ friends: Thanks for putting up with reading this rant, assuming you got this far. <3

Two posts in one day? No, I'm not dying ;-] I just had to write this piece and put it somewhere where it can't get lost on my computer files, lol.

One-Shot.
Fandom: None in particular
Rating: G
Pairing: Definitely none
Dedication: To anyone who has ever had unrequited love.

One of my friends is graduating today.

And I just...ugh. I don't even know. It's just that...life is going by way too fast now. Another on my friends, who I have known for 13 years (since I was three) just moved ten hours away, and I now another friend who I've known for just as long is graduating, and so is my youngest-older-brother, and I can't take this. And my best friend is gonna be gone all summer, and now whenever I'm with her things are just sort of awkward 'cause we never see each other like, ever, and she agrees because she commented on how we used to know everything about each other, and it was just so fun, but now conversation is all stilted. We spent practically every day last summer together, and the summer before that, and now I'll be lucky to see her more than once before August, and...

And I'm so busy, and life is going by so fast, and I think 8/12ths of my coworkers hate me, and it's dreary outside, and life just plain SUCKS right now, despite having a life.

I just don't know, people. it's so hard to have all of my friends growing up and moving away and growing apart, and I just want it to be really SUMMER so I can go down to Florida with my brother and pretend we're not all growing older and seperating.

( LOST!!! )

Sometimes, I really hate my parents.

 

Like, I know they love me and everything, but...idk. My dad is always ragging on me about how my brother and I will never make it in the world because we’re too damn lazy, and my mom sometimes just gets pissed and starts cussing if we don’t do our chores, and the threaten to take our allowances away. And I’m like, “ Geeze, five bucks isn’t much anyways, take the damn money.”

 

And they just keep harping on us because we don’t load the fucking dishwasher. Good grief. If it’s messing up your life so bad, just load it and start it yourself and cut a dollar out of the five you give me. Just stop yelling at me already.

 

Ugh, I don’t even know. They just make me so mad sometimes.

So, I think everyone on the ol' f-list should know I'm NOT DEAD. =D

Oh, aren't you all joyful about this? XD

I wish I could say my absence was due to something cool, like being in witness protection, but the truth is I've just been wayyyyy too busy to update. But now I've found the time, so!

Not much has happened since my last long-ago post. The thing with the boy fell through completely, pretty much all of my friendships except for maybe five or six are now shot, my brother IS NOT graduating on time, I have a job...that's about it.

I do have some fandom rants, however.

( Cut for those who have not been watching 24! )SHOW I HATE YOU LIKE SO SO MUCH.
Those of you who used to read my LJ when I was a 24 fanatic know that I absolutely LOVED Tony Almeida. Like, I don't think I've ever "crushed" on a fictional character that hard. So I can't EFFING BELIEVE that they turned him bad. Seriously, what is this nonsense?! I understand it adds to the plot and all that, but I prefer to see Jack and Tony kicking ass TOGETHER, not AGAINST each other!!!

Okay, that's one rant done. Here's another:
Lost.
Oh my God, seriously? KILL JACK.

KTHNXBAI.

And.....that's that! Anyone else going to see X-Men Origins: Wolverine this weekend?

Oh! I finished my first novel ever, as well! Quite excited about that! =D It's not Fireglass, though. I scrapped that one.

And just so you know, I check this LJ every day and keep up with everyone's posts, no matter how long or short they are. So I'm not inactive, I am only lurking ;)

 How can the worst feeling in the world spawn from the best?

            I’m so afraid that it’s only for convenience; that this whole thing is just a matter of, “ She likes me, no one else does, so I might as well...since I have no other options.” And I’m glad I’m not one of those “popular girls” he talks about...who gravitates towards the “popular boys”. I’ve never really been like that, and I think I can relate to him on being sort of over-shadowed by the brother everyone likes...getting back-shelved, and all.

            That’s one of the things that kills me; we relate so well on so many levels. Neither of us have had great, happy lives like a good deal of our friends from the Ministry. Same favorite dog breed, same favorite pizza, same religion, older brothers who are well liked and who are seniors, same grade...it’s almost crazy. It’s never boring and it’s never uncomfortable with him.

            And yet...

            I’m afraid he’s just accommodating me, that he’s only showing interest because, maybe, he did like me, then realized he didn’t, and he doesn’t know how to let me off easy. I don’t know. That’s what hurts, I. Don’t. Know. I think this might just be my personal insecurities shining through, making me think I’m not worth him.

            And worse. I’m afraid he might like one or both of my best friends. How twisted is that? But it’s the truth. I keep thinking they’re thinner, more outgoing, and way prettier than I am. What if I’m just a means to an end for him, a means of getting to my best friends? He and Savannah get along really well and that story Dustin shared with me might have been joking, but he shouldn’t have shared that with me. It’s ratcheted my doubt-meter into overdrive.

            What if he only held the door for me and bought the coffee for appearances? What if he just said that stuff to Dustin to maintain that appearance? What if he wants to know how much I talk about him because he wants to know if I’m too far into to be let off the hook?

            Ugh. I hate my mind.

. Comment on this post.
2. I will give you a letter.
3. Think of 5 fictional characters and post their names and your comments on these characters in your LJ.
Karalea gave me 'D'

05. Desmond Hume (Lost)
I have a...love/hate relationship with Desmond. He's great, he's funny, and his accent is sexy awesome, but for some wierd reason he gets on my nerves. i think I resent him Charlie's death...yeah, me and Hurley both XD I have to admit, I really like the angle he adds to the show, with his future-seeing and stuff. he's an interesting character, that's for darn sure!

04. Draco Malfoy (Harry Potter)
Figured he'd crop up here, didn't you? ;) Okay, i have a love/hate thing with Draco too. He's a great character as far as depth is cocnerned...he's not just a one-dimensional bad-guy that Jo created just to get on Harry's nerves, but dammit, I always wanted him to be firmly on the good side by the end of Book 7. That's why I loved the end of HBP <3 Anyways, Draco is so delightfully evil. He reminds me very much of those kdis we all deal/have dealt with in school and at work, etc...no matter how you come back at them they just sneer and act unaffected and Draco's that way....he's just aggravating. I love him. (But no, I, unlike most of the fandom, do NOT find him sexy. He's wierd lookin'. o.O)

03. Dorian Grey (Various)
Okay, so I so wasn't going to put him, but I just couldn't get this guy out of my head. I was introduced to Dorian in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and even though I hated the movie I loved Dorian's  angle. He was my favorite character, and I just loved the good/bad guy arc of his story. Of course, i was convinced from the getgo that he was bad, but still. I liked how he was doing all of this to get that picture back, or w/e. He was so self-centered, but he was interesting <3


02. Derek Reese (Sarah Conner Chronicles)
Okay, TBH, Derek is my favorite charact from SCC. He's wickedly handsom and he adds such an interesting spin to the story. I love his whole backstory, how he's John's uncle, and i'm 100% chipping him with Sara...because I can. :) My brother and I have dubbed them the "dream team" and I squealed aloud when they went off on their own to kick ass last episode. The only problem with Derek is that I'm afraid he might be expendable, so every time he's on screen I'm afraid he'll die. :P


01. Dante (Devil may Cry)
Okay, I love Dante, I'll say it right now, I've never played the games but I've watched my brother and...damn. Okay. Dante in game three ROCKS. I have no other words for him. Especially in the opening sequence. I actually modled one of my own origional characters after him. Andways, Dante's so cocky, he's got that silver hair and he's great with his guns and his swords...he's eht epitome of a cliche but awesome VG character. I just wish the game was longer, 'cause...I could use more Dante XD And Virgil too!

So. Um. More stuff to report!

School's started again. I'm burdened down with Spanish, Grammar, Geometrey, Consumer Math, History, Geography, and Creative Writing. Not as bad as next year, when I'll be taking Algebra 2 and Business Math. Blahhh.

I'm officially and like, 100 % back into Harry Potter. It's jazz. I love it so much more than Twilight...like wow. So I'm writing lots of fanfiction and making videos and just loving it. Oh, and also. Harry Potter > Edward Cullen. I mean, c'mon. I got into a fight wtih a friend about this. It's so obvious.

Anyways.

Getting my headgear tightened tomorrow. I hate braces. My molars hurt. Eurgh. However, I might be able to strike a bargain with mother that will allow me to rent the Harr Potter movies and Watchwatchwatch while my headgear is in. Yay for extortion!

So..I'm on chapter twelve of Fireglass but am not writing it at the moment, working instead on an HP fanfiction that NO ONE BUT HANNAH reads and just. Argh. I hate when people read and don't review. Srsly.

I've also decided that I dislike Nessie like WHOA and supprt Jacob/Bella still. Because. You know. Werewolf > Vampire. Seriously. They're hot. <3

Also. Finding I like Godsmack. Some of their stuff sucks but on the whole I like it. Annnnddd. Also. Sound of Music? I love you. Best Musical Evar. Don't change. Love love love. <3

Speaking of love...my love life is very confused. I feel like I don't like this guy who likes me, wh I used to like, but I do, but I don't, for the sake of some guy I used to like, but I do, but I really don't. It's confusing and just ARGGHHH and I want to beat myself. With el pickelo. Or something.

*Sigh*

So, I made this lj header you see up above. And i quite like it. OoTp and DA FTW <3

Andddd...I should probably go proof read. Blargh. G'night, my lovlies!

 

Ha, I really should write more because...yeah. These posts are too long :p

So for starts...I just got the rest of my brackets on my teeth and they hurt for days afterward. I'm better now, but  I just can't wait until I get these things off. The same day I got my new brackets one of them popped open and I had to go back that afternoon, and then I had to go back again a week later to get my wires trimmed. Just...argh. I HATE BRACES.

Good news? I finally read Deathly Hallows. God I loved that book. <3 I also got a few chapters down on my Harry Potter fanfiction but no one reviews it and...it makes me wodner if it's as good as I think it is. *shrugs* Also, brother and I just watched all five movies and the OotP is like my FAVORITE right now. Just beneath Batman Begins, which is, like, the best movie EVER MADE.

Also; our Teen camp this year was absolutely amazing. Some of my closest friends didn't come but that was okay because I'm always very self-conciosue around them and it was good that I had a week to just be an idiot and not worry about hearing backlash about it later. I feel a lot better about myself and my religion now and I made a lot of amazing friends who i miss desperately. Painfully. D: Is it December yettt?

Also...BREAKING DAWN!


Well, that's about it. I'm still losing weight off and on (it fluxes D:) and I've been doing weights and OW MY ARMS HURT. And I'm stil lwriting Fireglass, hence my LJ banner. <3 And I love Breaking Benjamin now. And I need to eat. 

Tah!

 

I haven't posted my writings on here in a while, but...I had to post this. Because I love the way it turned out.

Style: A one-shot comprised of several long-ish drabbles.
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Sirius/Lily
Rating: T
Warnings: Just Sirius-angst ;)
Summary:  Because she’s a Muggle-born, and he’s a pure-blood, and they don’t talk about those things; she doesn’t say that she’s misunderstood, and he doesn’t say that it’s so wrong for him to understand her.

( How about a walk? )

Anyone care to comment? ;)

Yeah, so much for more frequent updates :( But I've been very busy.

So, I've got my braces on. It's not as big a deal as I thought it would be, although I got them two weeks late because getting my teeth pulled put me in too much pain. So that was kind of a relief, at first...getting to put it off. But now that I'm used to them, I don't think w should've put it off. Oh well.

Also...school is OUT. YAY. We...meaning me and my brother...thought that we would be doing Geometry over the summer, but we aren't, so we'll be busting our asses to get everything done next year, but...well. That's how it goes.

ALSO. Karalea. You're making me want to watch Doctor Who. :p 

We're going to our summer Teen Camp next week. I'm kind of excited, kind of not. I think I'm just feeling jaded about everything. Especially Fireglass. I haven't written more than a page in one week, and that makes me really nervous, because I have a habit of dropping projects and leaving them dead. And I can't do that with Fireglass.

And...Breaking Dawn comes out in 25 days! OPMG YAY! Although it'll probably be totally out of stock for a week thereafter. But I'm not worried...I have something else to read.

HARRY POTTER.

Someone please tell me why I was crazy enough to abandon this series for three years. BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW. I seriously feel like a dunce. I had forgotten how great these books are, and how much I. LOVE. Sirius. Black. And this time around, my aprents are going to let me watch the movies. YAY! We're getting them on the 24th, when I get my braces tightened. I am excited. Very.

By the way does anyone want to read a Harry Potter fanfiction? 

[/shameful fic-pimpage]

Well, msut go. Food won't eat itself. Ciao!

 So...I don't post much anymore, do I? :P I guess I should fix that. I do have a lot to say!

First of all...BRACES. I have to get them on May 5th, which I am really not looking forward to. And on Friday I have to have some of my baby teeth pulled...they didn't fall out because, appearently, I inherited this condition from my grandfather which makes my teeth stick into my gums like a fly on fly paper. D: NOT FUN. But I'm past being terribly worried about it...I doubt I'll feel anything during the whole procedure. I just have to worry about saying something totally asinine while under the influence of laughing gas. :)

Writing. Um...up to the eleventh chapter of Fireglass. I've been writing it for...nine months this Saturday. I'm not going very fast, am I? :P But at least I'm managing to keep the plot points solid and the characters pretty well developed. It's actually the most fun I've ever had writing a book before. And, I'll admit it, okay, I like my characters. A lot :) They're fun to work with.

And...I'm back to making AMVs. Whenever I'm into Kingdom hearts, it's inevitable. I also got Sony Vegas temporarily, and I love using it. No more WMM, OMG YAYZ!!11!

Also, I've more or less abandoned icon-making. It just doesn't interest me anymore. 

And...I absolutely cannot wait for Breaking Dawn, fourth book in the Twilight series, to premier. I even planned to buy the Special Edition of Eclipse (which I do not techinically need) just to get my hands on the first chapter of B.D. My brother thought I was crazy. Maybe I am :) I've also become quite excited for the movie. Huzzah!

And...Maximum Ride 4? Okay, I read some of it. And...brain bleed. Even as a total FAX shipper, I couldn't get past the awful of  the whole book.*head-desk* I am breaking off relationship with this series now. 4 REEL!!11!

And...it's my birthday Saturday. The day after I get my teeth pulled. Whoo-hoo! 

:(

Oh, yes. Final Fantasy XII. Of this I must mention, because...BEST.VIDEO.GAME.EVAR! I have so much love for this game, I cannot contain it. It is amazing. As are Ashe and Balthier. As a couple. Rar. 

On a similar note...I just recently fell in love with Pirates of the Carribean again. I had forgotten how utterly badass and pwnsome those movies are. And Willabeth is just such a tragic love <3 One of my (many) OTPs...right up there with BalthierXAshe and SawyerXKate.

Speaking of SawyerXKate...Lost comes back in jsut a few days. Hooray! <333

Oh, and the band The Calling? So much love. :)

That is all.

Things I've learned since I last posted in my LJ:

1) I currently do not "like" anybody
2) Claudio Sanchez does not sound at all like I had imagined he would
3) I despise Maximum Ride
4) Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse are amazing
5) And so is Hangman's Curse by Frank Perreti
6) I really like the Terminator TV show
7) And Kingdom Hearts
8) And Lost. Again.
9) Crunches suck. Big time
10) It's harder to lose weight once you've already started
11) I love winter more than summer
12) Skillet is absolutely amazing
13) and I ramble too much :)

Since a lot of people on my F-list are Maximum Ride lovers, i think I should explain number 3 on that list very carefully.

When I first read Maximum Ride, I thought the books were really, really good. The first two I still think are somewhat o-kay. But the third book, in my opinion, was waaaayyyy too politcally based. I've got no problem with people having differing political views, but I don't think Patterson should've thrown his into the book in such an oppressive way. Plus, I think book three felt very...rushed. And it didn't seem to tie up all loose ends. The whole thing about Max having stunachly liberal views (On the enviroment, guns, etc.) felt sort of out of place, since it was never brought up in the previous books (that I can recall).

And then I was reading the part when she argued with the Director of Itex (Mom-lady alias) and Max started thinking, " My God, I was so badass."

Afterwards, I went back and started rereading books one and two, and I realized that Max comes across as extremely full of herself, kind of stiff, and she seems to think that if a guy mentions he likes a girl, it's sexist. Which really drove me nuts, because it's only healthy for a guy to like women. 

So, in closure, I think Maximum Ride is a bit immature as a series in general, and I don't think I'll be reading it again...or watching the movie.

So, rant over. Going to go eat breakfast. Goodbye!

So, interesting past couple of weeks.

After watching season 3 of Lost, I seem to have more or less "lost" my enthusiasm for it. I still really like the show, but it doesn't excite me like it did when I first got into it. Of course...the thrill of watching a new show always wears off after a while, just like it did with 24. Still, I wish I was still vibrantly into it. Gives me something to do now and then.

Spent the night at best friend's house last weekend. I learned how to play Corn Hole, which is like bean-bagtossing, only with corn-filled bags. It was a lot of fun. Then the boys got the ridiculous idea to pour BUBBLE BATH into the pool. The bubbles kept fading out, until all eight teenage boys jumped into the pool at once. That was...interesting. I got a mouthful of bubbles, any road. Then we dried out around the campfire. It was a lot of fun.

And...my mom made an ice cream cake. YUM.

Fireglass is proceeding smoothly, with the ocassional hitch of writer's block here and there.  Not much to be said for that.

On a side note, I'm no longer making AMVs. That feels a little wierd, but at the same time, I almost don't care. Since I'm not losing my mind over Lost, it's not as if I really have anything to make a good AMV about, anyways. I'm also not making icons as frequently. But they're still coming out, here and there. :) Such as the icon for this post...which I made myself.

Which leads me to another topic...TWILIGHT.

afajsgphsdgknsdh. ACCKK. I am brutally, hopelessly IN LOVE with this book. I can't wait to read New Moon. I'm also trying desperately to not spoil any of the events for myself. I'm so proud of myself...I always spoil books by reading about them on Wikipedia or, my favorite passtime...reading the end of the book before the rest of it.

But nooo. Not this time. Twilight is too precious for that <3

Edward/Bella rocks my socks off.

On ANOTHER side note...we got the first and second Guitar Hero. And...holy cow. I'm getting better at it. I can almost do every song 5 stars...on easy, that is. Medium will be a challenge. I have a bit of a problem with hand-eye coordination. So...yeash.

I'm also, at the moment, having a bit of a panic attack. The phone rang here at 10:45, which rarely happens unless someone I love is hurt. The alst time it happened, my friend had fallen out of a tree ( He survived, of course. He has nine lives.) My mom didn't answer the phone, and neither did I, and it stopped ringing. But I keep thinking I'm hearing wierd sounds around the house. It's...spooky. So I'm holed up in the back room, my little cat sleeping on the chair beside me, as I furiously type away.

Okay, time for bed. I'm bushed. :)

And so, the lion fell in love with the lamb...

So...interesting couple of weeks.

It's been hot as HELL here...literally. Scorching. Walking every day with brother and dad is literally torture. But I'm down to 127 pounds <3 I'm so proud of myself!

Been writing quite a lot lately. Started a Lost fanfiction, Twisted Fate. It's really good so far, and the ending will (hopefully) be a real shocker for my readers. I'm also writing Fireglass...on the third chapter, almost done with that. I got to fifteen pages in one day yesterday, but deleted the last five pages because they simple made of suck. I haven't gotten up the courage to try rewriting them.

In other news, school started three days ago. Doing a lot of catch-up work from last year. The downside to being homeschooled is, I get to slack. Then I have to make up for it the next year. Blech.

I've made a couple more AMVS, including my first Charlie/Claire one. I think it turned out amazing. :3 But that's just my opinion.

Also, been iconing. Up to my...twentieth one, now? All of them Lost. :D A couple Sawyer/Kate, Jack/Juleit, Charlie/Claire, and so on. Oh, and Sayid/Shannon. Murr. I love the two of them. 

Oh, and Serenity, by Godsmack? MADE. OF. WIN. Serenity > almost all of the music I own.

Okay, with that, I'm off to write. Sayonara!

Wow. So, I've more or less abandoned LJ. Sorry to all the people who might've missed me. The end of summer has just been packed. I can't stop going places!

Went to Holidy World last weekend with girl scout troop and a friend's brothers, plus my my mom and my brother. It was a blast...rode the three roller coasters and most of the slides at the waterpark. Screamed myself hoarse. I'd never ridden a roller coaster with my hands up and now I have a huge bruise on my arm. HURRAY! But it was a megablast and I can't wait to do it again next year!

Also, watched the first two seasons of LOST twice with my brother, and am most of the way through season 1 with my mom. We love Charlie. <3  Also, been making stuff: a few Sawyer/Kate icons and one Charlie/Claire wallpaper. 'Tis very boootyful. I love it, anyways.

Been making AMVs, as well. Three more Sawyer/Kate ones, with " Love Will Find a Way", " You'll be in my Heart", and " Savin' Me". Currently working on one with " Someday", and it's a tribute to the whole LOST ensemble. YAY! I have it mostly planned out, but none of it made yet. All in good time.

So, brother's having his buddies over this weekend. We'll watch 300, which I haven't seen. Heard it was good though, from various sources.

And...ergh. Need more music to listen to. I think I'm going to get the TMNT soundtrack. Murrrh. TURTLE POWER!

I've been writing off and on...changed the title of Dark Side of the Mun to Fireglass, which I think sounds a bit more professional. Or something. Anyways, first chapter is done, second is about five or six paragraphs in. Nowhere near done yet, but whatever. I'll get there eventually.

Okay, going to the store with mother. Adios all!

All we need to surive is one person who truly believes in us

So...anyone miss me?

Okay, I was away from LJ for more than two weeks, I admit. I've been very busy.

First of all...Massachucetts was amazing. I wasted my days away writing with my best friend, going to the movies, eating raw cookie dough and watching movies that we mocked out to the fullest extent. I really bonded with my friend's mom and brother, which was a HUGE blessing. And now I'm back home...been home for about thirteen days.

And I am both proud and saddened to admit that I have left 24 at my back and have become a shameless Lostie. Yes, that's right, I am now head-over-heels for the show LOST. Anyone on the ol' Friends list share my obsession, or am I alone in this world?? :(

Kidding.

Haven't gotten much writing done...in the absense of my 24 obsession, I scrapped TEB. It was jusbecoming too much of a hassle, and didn't seem very 24-ish at all. Looking back, I realized I totally threw my talents to the wind in an effort to finally finish a multi-chaptered fanfiction. It was a horrible thing to do and I regret it. I attempted to start a new original novel, but I scrapped the idea when I realized the plot was full of mroe holes than a block of Swiss Cheese. I've been surviving off of one-shots, mostly of Sawyer/Kate from LOST. Now I am...rather tentatively...starting another new piece, this one also a novel. It will be called Dark side of the Mun (pronounced Moon). I'll further on refer to it as DSOTM.

I have made on AMV recently...a Sawyer/Kate (or SKATE) movie with the song What about now? By Chris Daughtry. I think the video rocks. :)

Okay, need to go to bed. Just wanted to drop by and assure you all that I am, in fact, alive!

Did you just throw a banana at me?!
