Melodramatic Fool

YES Thanks to paxlux,I can finally see Scott Pilgrim vs. The World :D Plus music and a season of Archer and :D :D :D My weekend is set \o/ Except for having to go out to buy a new entertainment center unit that will allow for our new TV (37" flat upgrading from the 27" ancient picture tube one that was dying) and D&D Sunday but I DON'T CARE \o/ because I have awesomefun things to watch and listen to otherwise :3

ADVENTURE! \o/

(And in other news, let's see if I can make bacon without screwing it up for once tonight.)

*So many thank yous to zuben_eschamali for the virtual Jelly Beans :D That is so absolutely cute, and tickles me greatly. ♥ *hugs*!

*Managed to make it two whole months before I got another cold. ^^; My immune system is full of failings. Horribly queasy earlier today, not sure if it's related. Attempted soup for dinner (dry toast at lunch was so bleh :x but did help settle things).

*Guild got a first kill on Heroic Magmaw the other night. Peeked in on Heroic Omnitron and that fight looks...interesting, in which interesting translates to 'a pain in the butt'. Wondering how far we'll progress before Firelands goes live (it'll be awhile, I'm sure, since there was just a major patch, just pondering since it is on the horizon.)

*paxlux is my squishy ♥ And silverraven is a lovely, wonderful person. ^____^

*Community. Community. I just. This shoooooow. \o/ Still working on 1st season, but still. I honestly don't feel the pull to read fic, but I'm adoring the show and love the graphics and gifs I'm seeing. Reminds me how I was with Avatar: The Last Airbender, where I fanned the show simply in and of itself. And amazing how something some label as just a comedy could hit me with a quote that truly rocked me--see the tumblr post I made after seeing the s1 episode, Beginning Pottery, this afternoon (beware the rest of my tumblr, though, there are some SPN spoilers there).

From the meme here:


de_nugis filled a prompt of mine Gen or Sam/Dean -- after they retire from hunting, the first time Dean brings a pet or pets home for Sam., and it is the *best thing ever*. ♥

At Grass, Sam/Dean, light R, ~1950 words
I won't say what the pet is, but her choice was absofreaking perfect. This, oh this ♥ A little bit of hurt-convalescing!Sam, books and reading (oh, the boys reading, how I love that so), a gorgeous atmosphere, bits that truly make me laugh, and just one of the sweetest, most beautiful Sam/Dean moments. It's funny, it's charming, it's sweet, and just makes my heart so incredibly freaking happy. This is so many things that I adore, that I have to convince myself that she isn't psychic and poking around in my head. XD So going to be rereading this one often.

Thanks to santacarlagypsy for the v-gift. Snaaaaaaaaail~ It's so cute :) And thanks, keerawa for just being you. I owe you at least a couple comment replies. >_>;

Because it still needs to be pimped out:
♥Love Meme♥
Speaking of that meme, huge, huge *hugs* to y'all, and extra hugs and thanks to certain of you, you know who you are ♥ You guys, I just ♥♥♥ \o/

♥ also to jojothecr for the present :D I should've said something yesterday, but I was slacking. Thanks, hon!

I feel like this is sort of the lost week or something. o_O Can't believe it's Thursday. Just doesn't feel like it. It's all lost in a haze of sleeping and sinus meds and cough syrup. And so many Halls drops, don't think I've ever taken so many. >_o Just wish it would all just go away already. Kind of tired of having my ass so thoroughly kicked by it, yes. ^^; (PS Hey, flu shot, you going to actually prevent anything this year?)

Re:WoW-- Haven't made much progress with the new alts like some folks have, just haven't had the energy to be gung-ho about it. So Deannajude the warrior still's only 21, though my troll druid is 16, I think. I should run Ak through heroics with the new goblin faction tabard so I can get their mount (that ATV looking thing :p ), but, eh, later. Been trying the quest chain in Hillsbrad based off the Plants Vs Zombies webgame, and...I'm horrid at it. :/ I want the sunflower pet you get after finishing all the quests so badly, but I keep failing and failing at the 'set us up the pumpkin bomb' one. Just sucks, because other people have accomplished it with only some struggling, and me, I just can't seem to get it. Will keep trying, but it's frustrating. And the sunflower pet is so damned cute. :(

If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

I normally don't do these sorts of things when they go around, but honestly, you guys. ♥ All of you. I should say more often how very much I appreciate you all are out there. ♥


In other news, saw Kick Ass last night (yeah, giving going to that one guy's place another chance). Enjoyed it, for the most part, but on the other hand, eh. Felt really meh at a lot of aspects about the ending, especially what they did with such a (har) kick-ass character like Hit Girl. Also rolled my eyes at the sort of Watchmen-ish gore. I'm hoping not every movie is thinking that's the cool way to be now. Bleah.

Aaaaaand, I think I have a cold again. Yeah, I know, it's only been a month. Just thought my allergies were bad, and then that stupid cough started the last couple days, and now I feel sort of ugh. My immune system is full of so many failings and so much incompetence. :p

From Clerks, NSFW. What can I say, 37 has reminded me of Clerks for a long time.

And Old weird flash animation nostalgia, part the last (yeah, I've been saving this one):

Also, man, what wonderful stuff to wake up to ♥ Thanks so much to cacklesthewitch and quoth_the for the vgifts, jojothecr and chez_amanda for the lovely images, and akintay, the_milky_way, theron09, and sharona1x2 for the birthday wishes. You guys have truly made my day already, and it's not even noon yet. :) ♥ *hugs* for everyone!

In WoW news, I despise the heroic Blood Princes fight, and I'm glad we got them because I am NEVER EVER doing that fight again. Had me half in tears/half in screaming rage, and I had to go hit a wall a few times, especially when someone was laughing at how pissed off and frustrated I was. :|

love meme

I don't have a thread there because I'm a chicken o/ But a lot of lovely people that deserve all sorts of love are there, so iPimp. ♥

Even though I hate buying from iTunes anymore, I broke down and got Elbow's mp3 of Mercy Street because I HAD TO. Also, Marina & The Diamonds' I Am Not A Robot is single of the week there and is thus downloadable *for free* what \o/ Also also, I made brownies, Ghirardelli from a box. Go me.

(Also x3--the writer's block question about music thing. For me can be pretty much summed up as "If I like it, it's because I have bad taste and usually I'm embarrassed about it; but if someone else likes it it's because they're cool and have great taste". Yeah, I dunno.)

Oh, John Stewart ♥ Oh, John Stewart, ILUUUUUUUUUU~~~ ♥ *sparkles* Ohman, I think I need a gif or animated icon of him dancing around at the end of that. ♥

And Mel, you are such an awesome, wonderful person. Truly ♥ Thank you *hugemassivehugs* I never do as cool things for you as you do for me, like that.

It is rainy and thunderstormy, all dim and humiddampearthgreen-smelling, and I love it. I swear all the trees just went leaf-crazy last week, like all BAM at once. And I noticed while driving that lilacs are blooming. ♥! Lilacs are only my favorite flower of all freaking time, and SOMEDAY I swear I will get some bushes going in the yard.

I noticed last night when trying to send something in WoW to my new alt on Bronzebeard, Sampala (Yes X3 God, I'm a dork--but Impala was taken on that server WTFFFF!! And by some undead guy, too THAT IS SO WRONG OMGWTF)--anyway, I noticed that one of the DotA members has a hunter alt with the name Samanddean ♥♥♥ I so went *SQUEE*\o/ and sent her an in-game mail saying hi. XD; I am amused at her other alt name (Belaruby, hee), and *cough*I may have snooped her LJ and noticed she watches the wincest community. What can I say, finding other fans that share some of my interests makes me happy. :<

And somehow this seems appropriate given show of late:

( My entry for the Inanimately challenge )

Was surprised to get 2nd with it. I'd been actually feeling of late that maybe I wasn't doing Team Hell a lot of good, and should I rethink participating, but this was a nice little mental boost that I'm doing a little good for the group at least. ♥ There is a game going on that I'm failing at, though D: Fallen phrases, why do you befuddle me so?

Someone sent me a sugary bunny virtual gift :D :D :D I don't know who it was, but whomever you are, ilu~! ♥ It's so cute X3 Thankyou!

I need to find the link of it, but one of my uncles on my mom's side (one of her younger brothers) pointed her at a Youtube video he and some friends did of them blowing up a junk van with dynamite. Mom's family is odd like this, yes. This is my genetics. :| And he's one of the *good* crazy ones. (Though at times he's somewhat of a lazy, forgetful doofus, but anyway.)

In WoW news, I used the AV weekend to finally accomplish two goals I've had for Ak for a very, very long time. One was to get exalted with the AV (Frostwolf) faction (38th exalted--need Timbermaw and...something else now, for the 40 exalteds achievement). The second, was finally FINALLY getting the 100 mount achievement.

( And the reward~! )

I have wanted the red dragonhawk for so very long--it's one of those in-my-own-head roleplay things. There are certain things important to him as a character, including the Wyrmrest Accord faction and his red drake mount, his black drake mount, anything to do with the Argent Crusade faction/Ashen Verdict faction and his standing as 'exalted champion' for such and title of Crusader. But most of all, his racial identity and loyalty to Silvermoon City (the rebuilt bloodelf capital). That red dragonhawk looks just like the ones in Eversong Forest in the bloodelf starting zones, and to me is iconic of the race. Thus it was something I wanted to really have a sense of him being "of Silvermoon City" (which is the title I've switched back to for the moment). Anyway. Yay ♥ (And getting the last 3 mounts I needed only took two grueling, grueling days of pvping in mostly AV with some Wintergrasp thrown in. Ohgod, all the losses, over and over and over and over, with so few wins, just to eek out the honor and the rep. Egads.) Also, yes I know it looks orange but is labeled red. Blizzard is colorblind (see 'violet' protodrake that is pink/fuschia).

Friends wandered over for the evening, spent more time playing the original God of War with Kelly spectating and Anj walking me through. Post title is something I said during the proceedings. :p Have gotten past the Cerberus fight, and left off in this godawful room where you're supposed to get into alcoves for chests before you get trapped in and impaled on spikes. The 'puzzles' or minigames or whatever you call it in GoW are designed by sadists, I think. I normally don't talk when I game, but this one has me going from "crapsticks" to "fucksticks" to "AUGHWTFWTFWTFshitshitshit!". But Anj says I'm picking up on it faster than she did her first run through, so go me or something. \o/ Random tangent--I love Kratos' Artemis blade. Love. After I first got that, I started cleaving mobs in two and decapitating things and it made me honest to god *giiiiiiiiiiggle* in glee. And it's pretty 8D (First sparking blue and now sparking purple X3 ♥) You can keep your dressy girl stuff--I want me a Big Ass Sword that's pretty and glowy and sparking/sparkling. 8D 8D (Or axe. Big Ass Axe also works. :3 )

P.S. also ysi_leftovers is my new best friend. :x Yes, I am very late to the party on this sort of thing I'M SLOW OKAY D: But omg muuuuuuusic music music music. I found so much yesterday >_> I will have to poke at it more soon. :3 (I do buy and will still buy, I promise \o/ This just...helps, with the whole not getting to do so often thing.)
