1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me!"

2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.

3. You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your blog or journal.

4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.

5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. And thus the endless cycle of the meme goes on and on and on and on ... .

Mmmmmm okay.  I should really stop writing Twilight-related things, because Twilight-related things make me angry, and it doesn't really make sense to keep writing about things that make me angry.  But see, it's really, really alarming to me when I go to school and hear from all my Magnet-program, 4.0 toting, cock-reviling college-bound friends that Stephanie Meyer is Jesus reincarnate, and Twilight is the greatest thing to be written since Candide.

Ahah.  Hahahahaha.

And you know, I had this whole ranty essay thing I was going to write out, but then I realized how pissy and boring and generally just unfunny it was, so I dropped it. 

But lo!, as I was scouring the interwebs, this article came to my attention:  http://www.zap2it.com/celebrities/news/zap-stephenkingstepheniemeyernotgood,0,857306.story

Stephen King hates Twilight.  Stephen King hates Twilight.

Ohhhhh I didn't think it was physically possible to desire birthing privileges of his children any more than I already did, but.  I sense an uprising of middle-aged man hating prepubescent girls.

Jesus, this.

Been writing all week, AKA bigass post of doom.

"Samuel L Jackson remake: I'M GODDAMN TIRED OF THESE GODDAMN HARRIES IN THE GODDAMN GOBLE DE FIYAH!"


AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA!!!

Oh yeah oh yeah, wrote some Gorillaz drabbles to channel my utter glee.

( One bought little!Noodle ) ( One bought Murdoc n' 2D )

”

Murdoc's character is surprisingly difficult to get right.  I can't quite grasp his certain dickish smooth talking not so smooth talking weirdly affectionate disgusting dark charming edginess.  There's just so much to him; it's hard to figure out what fits where in what situation.  Also 2D's accent confuses me.  BUT I SHALL LEARN. 

...don't ask me about the oddness of the cuts.  I don't know.  Or the weirdness of the font.  Actually, I advise you to just read it on fanfiction.net, because that site gives me less shit.

Oh my fucking God, the Gorillaz are coming out with a new CD.  FBDJSKFBDSLJKFSUYAODB V.

I dunno if I've ever mentioned that I like the Gorillaz, but I really, really do.  They're right up there with Fiona Apple and Sufjan Stevens.  The fact that they're cartoons just adds to their appeal.

Electric Shock has to be my favorite new demo, I'm pretty so-so about the first two or so minutes BUT OH SHIT WHEN THEY START MELDING IT WITH THE ELECTRIC BEAT STUFF.  And you know, I'm not even saying the beginning's bad, it's fucking good and it's as experimental as a song can get.  It's one of the reasons I luff them to my core, they take risks and every single one of their songs is completely original.  Plus it's not done yet.  There could be some CRAZY INSANE vocals that make the song pop even more!  Gracious I might just have an orgasm. 

Oh, oh and I love Noodle's new voice.  Sounds older but still so Noodley, ahjdfds I can't handle it.

As far as image goes, I'm really hoping that BBC card is not what Murdoc's going to look like. Seriously?  Seriously.  I'm going to love him no matter what happens, but I'd rather love Murdoc when he doesn't look like a ninety year old man.  I know he's spent a while in hell and he abuses alcohol and he's healthy as an asthmatic two year old, but still.  He's forty two.  Not five hundred.  And didn't he technically get a new body anyway?  I must refresh my Murdoc knowledge.

I mean, I'm all for the entire band realistically aging and stuff, but my teenage girl part (the part that enjoyed Twilight, for about an hour) wants Murdoc to be sexy in his weird ugly way.  I can't help myself.

I'm really interested in how Noodle's going to change, being that she's practically all grown up now.  Maybe we'll be able to see her eyes or something.  The only thing I might have a problem with is if they take her image and go all SluttyMcSlutSlut with it.  I think that's the only thing they could ever possibly do to her that might squick me.  Oh, that and if they changed her eye color.  Green + Purple = my color scheme from heaven.  I also really, really want more details on her and Murdoc's Hell shenanigans, partly because I just love Murdoc and Noodle in general, and also because my deeply-engraved 'ship the most fucked-up pairing available' instincts have me all rabid over any kind of interaction they share.  Any kind.  I don't care if it's them talking about what kind of paper towels to buy.  I want it.

I'm not worried about 2D or Russel, because as far as development goes the creators pretty much leave them alone.  Except seeing somewhat-assholish 2D would be fun. 

...okay I'm done now.  Until Phase 3 officially launches.  Then I'll explode.

I've been having sexual fantasies about Edward Elric for the past three days.

I've been so animoo lately.  I just read through every single Fullmetal Alchemist manga, AND IT IS AMAZING.  I'm not going to write a reaction post, because it's perfect the way it is.  Fast paced with realistic characters with realistic skills and personalities and a supporting cast I actually care about, and did I mention how realistic it is?  And I actually find myself engaged and interested in the fights, and all the little relationships going on, and just, oh goodness.  Not to mention the art is unique and delicious, and if you shaved off everyone's hair you'd still be able to tell which one was which.

Plus Ed is like.  Sexy hot.  Mmmmhmm.

I'm not going to bother with the anime, because apparently it spirals off into all kinds of shitty directions.  And oh God the pairings.  I have to say my favorite relationship is Ling/Ran Fan, romantic or just friends.  Their personalities just bounce so nicely.  Then there's Roy/Riza.  My attitude towards Edward/Winry fluctuates between 'This is kind of boring' to 'Nevermind I love this', so, I dunno.  We'll see.  It's kind of shocking that I've found a fandom where I automatically gravitate towards all the expected pairings.  Usually I'd be shipping like...Scar/Winry.  I kind of want to.  Oh, and Roy x Ed.  That's always hot.  Parental is okay too, but most of the time it's way too fluffish.  Roy and Ed seem a lot more in character when they're fighting and then having angry sex than when Ed is sobbing on Roy's lovey dovey shoulder, heart suddenly tender as a young flower.

 

( Also I wrote a demi-smutty Ling/Ran Fan fic. )

 

I'm pretty sure the whole thing goes to shit at the smut part, because I suck at that, but whatever.  Practice.

I also got a Wii Fit for Christmas, and I love it.  I'm afraid to say the running in place game is shit, and is in no way a good substitute for actual running, but that's okay.  I have the hoola hoop game for when I can't run.  Plus I'm doing Yoga every morning (and drinking green tea instead of coffee.  Lul.), and strength training.  The balance games seem pretty useless, but they're fun.  Except for the fucking bubble game.  I keep drowning.  

My Wii keeps telling me I've gained weight every time I use it.  Apparently I've put on six pounds in the last day and a half.  Ummmmmmm.

Happy New Year's!

Mkay, so I read all the Vampire Knight manga and am working my way through the anime.  I'm on episode 4 Guilty or something. 


( Thus my reponse. )

And I'm...all ranted out.  We will see what happens when the new chapter's translated. 

Holy shit Cross Country's over.   Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!@16524%$#!

(I'm not going to miss getting up at four in the morning and hanging around some place in the woods until three in the afternoon for meets, though.  Hurr hurr.)

I worked the polls!  For fourteen hours straight!  (Which I'm ninety percent sure is illegal, being that I'm a minor, but holyshitigotalotofmoney, so whatevs.)  And interestingly enough, this fucking crazy radical lady showed up and hung around the table where my friend and I were helping people fill out forms for about three hours.  She was at the wrong voting precinct and was all pissed off because now she had to go to the library.  So instead of going there she sat in my goddamn chair while I wasn't looking.  It was like, the most entertaining thing ever.  'Yoo votin' fer Mcain?  Well FUCK YOOOOOOOO grrrrrrr the SySteM11!!11!1!eleventyone'

 I don' t think she liked me.

"What's your name?"

"Jenny."

"Major in political and environmental science, man.  It's fucked up.  You'll see."

"Actually, I'm going to get a masters in Creative Writing."

"...do something with politics."

"I'm really not interested in politics.  What instrument do you play?"

"YOU'RE THE FUCKING REASON OUR COUNTRY'S GOING TO SHIIIIIIIIIT!"

I mean, it was weird enough that I was being yelled at by a woman twice my age.  It got weirder when my friends all started arguing with her.  'I hattttte mainstream.  I'm anti-mainstream.  I've always been anti-mainstream.'  "Are you down with Metallica?"  'FUCK YEAH I'm down with Metallica.'  "Then you're not anti-mainstream."  '...you're a little ASSHOLE, aren't you?'

It was amazing.  Then her boyfriend pulled up in his shiny red convertible with Nickelback blasting from the radio, and that was the last we saw of her.  

Um so anyways. 

   

( Sakura really bonds through punching people. )

...think I might have to write some Team 7/ GaaSakuLee interactions.  Cuz being separated from them's really gotta be grating on her. 

On an off note, forget what I said about training-Naruto a little while back.  Sexy frog-Naruto is worth it. 

Have I mentioned that Halloween is like, the best fucking holiday ever?

I'm going trick or treating tomorrow.  Fer realz.  I'm that overgrown teenager that my mom and her friends are always bitching about.  >:3

I was gonna be Beetlejuice, with the red fingernails and fucked up hair (wouldn't have to do much there) and striped suit and everything, but um, that kind of didn't happen.  So I'll probably just wear all black and tell people I'm a rubix cube without stickers, cuz I'm resourceful and creative.  Last year I wore an old nightgown and told everyone I was their mother.  

A lot of people got mad at me.  D:

I just have this strange affliction for wandering around in the dark.  All my friends are all like, Yeah, Man, I'm gonna go get drunk in the woods!  and Fuck yeah, dude, I'm gonna get so stoooned!!!  I'm like, I'm gonna get candy from my middle-class neighbors :DDD 

My friends' costumes include: M&M, Snow White,  Kim Possible (she's a red head), and a crazy old guy.  My friend will have much fun being a crazy old guy, because he already acts like one (on drugs) half the time anyway.  Giving himself a beard and a walker will just improve the effect.

I heart LiveJournal's Halloween spirit.  <3

I spent the last three hours making jack-o-lanterns, 'n now I smell like pumpkins.  It's festive.  

I also typed up a Gorgeously Pointless chapter and revised another SoM thinger, so here they are.  (The SoM thinger has yet to be spellchekced, cuz I'm feeling hella lazy.  I'll look over it later.)

 

( Read more... )

And we somehow started talking about abortion.  How does this shit happen??  "So I want you all to write a poem about your fathers -- "  "SARAH PALIN IS THE DEVIL!! >:O"   Hay zoos.

Have I ever mentioned that I really fucking hate politics?  I really, really fucking hate politics.  If I hear any more about "LOL OBAMA'S A TERRORIST DUH" or "WELL MCAIN IS LE OLD!!!!!11", I'm going to shit a brick.  For cereal.

So when did the population get to the point where NO ONE can state their views without being a complete ass-hat?  Even though I think political parties in themselves were a stupid idea, I tend to lean more towards Republican, SO CLEARLY I AM AN ANAL, HEARTLESS BITCH.  And fer sure, my Democratic friends are all UNREALISTIC, BABY-HATING MORONS!  This is made funnier because about three fourths of my school population really has no idea what the hell they're talking about and are just regurgitating what their parents tell them over dinner.  And because my school is le ghetto beyond belief, that means pretty much everyone spends every minute of the day bitching about Mcain and Sarah Palin and how much they hate poor people.  Not because they have evidence to back that up.  Because it's cool to hate the government.

rofflecoptor.


And my two or so upper-middle class Republican friends are doing the same thing, of course.  Not precisely because they think it makes them cool, or anything, it just goes back to the parent parroting thing, only to a slightly more condescending degree. 

Oh, and since when did teachers get the right to continually cram a certain candidate down our throats and not even bother to present the other side of the argument?    Did I miss when that became okay, or am I just being close-minded?

I'm going to be so.  Happy.  When November 4th is over. 

I love that little Getting Started box that's always there when I log on.  'You've only made 1 friend.'  Yeah, thanks, asshole.

I am getting so.  Tired. of even half-attempting to follow canon Naruto.  Training Naruto is important, yes, and he is essential to the storyline, but holy fucking shit, we don't need  25 billion chapters of it.  I know Sasuke Naruto is the main character, but he is not Jesus.  Other character stories, plz. 
( I want a sannin arc so bad.  But now that two out of the three are dead ( DDD: ), I doubt we're going to get one.)

Ummm I got a  haircut.  I kind of look like Twiggy now, except three or so feet taller and plus about fifty pounds.

( Serious Breaking Dawn spoilers are serious. )( Errr wtf have I done here dammit cuts are so confusing )( Srs spoilers are srs )

I just ran seven fucking miles.  Trufax. 

And as much as I love Cross Country, all that stuff about us waking up every day just for the sake of running is a lie.  Because we were all pretty much thinking FUCK PLEASE GOD MAKE IT RAIN.  Not, Man Do I Love Running.

(I do love you though, running.  Just not when I'm actually in the act of doing you.  That wasn't a sexual reference I swear.)

So it turns out I really need to get good grades, because my college fund amounts to jack-shit.  Thus school is CRAZY INSANE, especially when you're in all those wanky magnet programs.  I'm taking magnet art.  I shit you not.  I have more art homework than I do schooly homework, which is motha frustrating because I have to put actual effort into it and everything because it actually interests me, and it takes foooorrrreeever fuck whaddooidoihaveaworldhistorytesttommorrowandimsketchingpencilkitties%$#@$^

(On the bright side though, I am definitely learning how to draw.)

My Creative Writing class is actually super interesting and thought-provoking and like a goddamn carbon copy of Freedom Writers, except we protest purse-bans instead of run from gangs.  And so I have my first writing assignment, which I decided to write about female soldiers because I'm ridiculous.  My thought process went like this:

'I should do a lot of army research and make sure this is accurate.  I don't want to sound like an ignorant American.  Oh, wait, this is due tomorrow??  FUCK.'

So this has a weird remote and undefined (presumably in America, IDK) location, random mentions of North Korea, and, um, the war is never explained.  I will fix it whenever I get the time.  Which is probably never.

The following review has been submitted to: Take Cover Chapter: 6

I'm hungry :D



I'm going to rape you when you're not looking.  :D

IN OTHER NEWS, I'm a sophmore and it's nowhere near as much fun as being a freshman, or, for that matter, a third-grader.  I would jump at the opportunity to participate in a finger-painting class. 

And I started a Creative Writing class, so, Creative Writing dump coming soon.  And I'm also taking advanced Art, so I'll probably get a Deviant Art account soon, too.  Don't expect any fanart, though.  (OH MY GOD, ANATOMY, GO FUCK YOURSELF.)

AND I finished a new Take Cover chapter. 

BTW, never going to break a character's arm ON A WHIM ever fucking again.  It's like, the most inconvenient thing in the world.  Especially when you forget about it for two chapters and then have to go back and add in cast references everywhere.  FUCK ME.



( Oh, Lydia and her breakdowns.  )

I went to Helen.  Helen is adorable.  Except there were, y'know, scary rednecks everywhere, but for every scary redneck there was a cute little old lady offering me iced tea because I looked so parched, so that's okay.  (I really have no idea what part of Helen attracts rednecks so.  The German theme?  Cute little shops?  Tubing?  Maybe the bear exhibit.)  Also, there is an abundance of sexy males there.  I dunno.  Must be the water.

I decided to write another chapter of Take Cover before I immerse myself in State of Mind, but while going about that I dug up an old Loveless fic that I wrote when I was first starting the series.  I'm probably not ever going to finish it, either, so I figured I might as well post it here. 

   

I miss Courage The Cowardly Dog.  After just watching an episode, I have been deservedly reminded of its WTF WHAT IS THIS? factor.

So thirty seconds into the episode Muriel gets picked up by a bird.  Then we find out the bird is really just a concerned mommy who needed  a babysitter, and she flies away.  I mean, jesus.  The rest of the episode is dedicated to Courage and his baby-watching shenanigans, the little birdies squawking about and just being cute, and at some point the line "I'M GONNA EAT YOU WITH A CEREAL SPOON."  comes up.

I mean, jesus.  It's amazing.  Who can top that?   No one, that's who.  It's the best show in the history of mankind.  Period.

The next episode was about talking fish.

 

You know what I want?  NarutoSakura tag team asskickery.  No, really.  I'm tired of Naruto vs Sasuke while Sakura watches from the sidelines, suddenly good enough to defeat an S-class criminal but oh!  nowhere near fighting alongside her teammate.  Likewise, I don't want Naruto vs Sasuke with Sakura trying once or twice to help, but then stepping back because grr! this is a manly man fight and she could be hurt.

Noooooo.  I want NarutoSakura vs Sasuke.  Not Naruto vs Sasuke with a side helping of Sakura.  I want TEAMWORK. 

I know that Sasuke and Naruto are closer than Sasuke and Sakura.  But I can easily see Naruto being as close to Sakura now as he was to Sasuke then.  In a different way, but still just as close.  That was a key issue in her character development.  Now the only thing left to develop is the Sakura Sasuke bond, and that's not going to happen if she doesn't help kick his ass, because Sasuke pretty much respects people who make a genuine effort to kick his ass.  That's the way Sasuke works.

I know it's a manga targeting preteen boys, and it's ultimately probably going to climax in another epic Sasuke vs Naruto fight, but, still.  I waaant it.  I was so disappointed when they finally reunited with Sasuke.  (That scene was wonderful in many other ways, though.)  ...who gets to hold Sasuke for Naruto?  Why, Sai does.  I know it was supposed to mark his turning point, but it still seemed cheaply convenient to me. 

When they next meet, Sakura is probably going to end up fighting Karin.  SIGH.

And while I'm at it, why did Ino need to become a medic-nin?  She was perfectly fine with her spy powahs.
