Hi all.
I'm feeling good. Yeah.
I kinda wanted to go for a run before, but I honestly don't know if my stomach, or my liver, or kidneys, or any other organ that woke me up this morning by creaking and groaning, could possibly handle anything too strenuous at the moment. Despite my aches and pains, I'm feeling good. Tell you why, inanimate livejournal? Because I have awesome friends who love me, as I was told squillion times over last night, and that makes me feel pretty damn awesome. As you all well know, I'm a whiny bitch, and occaisionally need that kind of validation. I love having self esteem again :)
Ok well, it was just one friend who told me a squillion times over, but that's ok, 'cause you know, she's awesome, and I'm sure she agrees.
Just want to tell said friend, that despite my awkwardness and lack of self esteem last night, I love them too. Again, I'm sure she knows that.
Now feeling awkward again, so I'ma head off. |

Gawker Q&A with Joss Whedon:
Q. In my dreams I traverse great depths and voids of unnamed space and find myself in a netherworld where untold numbers of Buffy and Firefly props are just laying around and I can just take them back to my apartment and mount them in the sweetest little shrines. What Buffy/Firefly props have you held onto as personal mementos?
A. I have a life-sized Sean Maher made of human flesh that keeps screaming that it's the real Sean Maher and I should unchain it. Amazing technology! |

Ohmygod, lightening and thunder. I love it.
The storm is raging outside, so I've turned the air off (when did it get bearable out there?), opened the windows, turned off the TV (not like I was really watching anything anyway), and curled up with some ice cream.
It's totally one of those nights. Even though I feel like shit, it's nice. It may be cheering me up, actually, the rain. And the ice cream. Love ice cream.
I'm currently suffereing from the worst headache in ever. It's, of course, caused by the pain in my neck, which has been getting worse again. I might have to sleep in Tiff bed tonight than sticking to the couch. Sorry Tiff.
The pain starts from my neck and seeps up and over my head to my eye brows. It hasn't effected those yet, but the rest of that trail feels pulled tight over my head back and down towards my neck. Mega ouchies.i hope I can see my chiropracteur when I go home.
Speaking of going home, I am going to be willy-
Wow, that was a nice, close thunder strike. Love.
Anyway, willy-nilly busy. I'm gonna go see ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) newgeneration because it's been a while and I miss her like crazy. I'll probably leave right after work on Thursday if I can. I want to get there as soon as I can. I'll stay until Monday, because I have to be back for work.
The next week, I leave either Tuesday night after work or Wednesday during the day to go back to Chicagoland and home. My mom is sending me gas money, so that'll be good. I can finally see my puppies! And my mom! And sparklepony! And my kitties! And Tony! Who, I believe, has adopted me like one of his many children, though I am, by far, the oldest. But it will be really nice. And I'mma get a bed, which will rock. Well, it'll be steady, but you know. I'll stay around there until Monday or so. YAY CHICAGO(land)!!!
So I'll be busy not being in IC for a while. Shall be nice. Love you guy, but I need a break.
The best piece of news I've gottan today is that I won't have to live in the basement of the Grandpas'! They'll give me Will's room, who actually wants to start using the basement anyway. So, I'll get that closet of a room cleaned up, which won't take too much (hopefully I'll get at least a large part of it done tomorrow, if not all of it), and continue cleaning everything else I was before. Good!times.
And before I leave to see newgeneration, I get paid, so people that should've been paid AGES AGO and I'm so ashamed have had to wait, will be paid. I'm really happy about that, because bad things can happen to me, but they shouldn't have to effect everyone else.
I'm excited with how things are working out.
I'm exctied things are working out.. |

although i have some time to be on the internet this weekend, i'm trying to avoid most of it because i don't get to see the dark knight until next friday. i'm actually trying to live in a vacuum where the movie doesn't exist but that's kind of hard considering that it was filmed here and therefore has been in the news for weeks. and the internet is worse. cut tags! cut tags! cut tags! omg i've already been spoiled on one thing and i'm going to freak the fuck out if i hear anything else.
so, yeah, trying to finish up some fic that's been sitting on my hard drive forever and a fucking day. posted it all at paragraph so it's all in one place, for once.
also, i bought some x-box games and should probably play those instead of torturing myself. or i could re-watch entourage seasons 1-3 for the hundredth time. or burn notice season one, again.
i'm so bored of being bored. |

| Saturday full of TV shows! |
[Jul. 20th, 2008|12:55 am] |
I spent my whole Saturday pretty much watching all sorts of different things. It was quite nice!
I've officially ventured into the first season of Battlestar Galactica. I watched the first 3 episodes and they were all fantastic. Even my mom's got interested in the show, and that doesn't happen often.
Apparently, she's quite the Apollo fan. :)
I also managed to watch Tin Man which I really liked. I still need to watch part 3, but I'm really enjoying it. I mean, it's nothing THAT great, but it's fun nonetheless.
Then I managed to catch up with all the Daily Shows and Colbert Reports I'd missed, which was also really nice. I'd almost forgotten how much I love them.
And what's really funny is that sometimes I get to watch them when my mom's in the room and I still can't convince her that Stephen Colbert is playing a character on his show. Whenever Colbert's got one of those crazy comments of his, she'll turn and say
Mom: Oh my, how can you like that man? He's outrageous!
Di: Come on, he doesn't really mean what he's saying, he's making fun of people who actually believe those things.
Mom: uhh... I don't think so, no.
I'm still trying.
She does laugh at Jon Stewart, though.
OH! I also watched the latest Atlantis episode, which was quite nice. But I guess this one I'll talk about under a cut.
So there ya have it. It was one quiet and lovely Saturday. :)
((except for the part of me that is desperately wanting to vid, but that's a whole other issue))

I'm officially on vacation from work until the 31st.
On my writing to-do list during the next couple of weeks:
-Finish the next part of my current Heroes AU. Domestic P/M + porn, :D
-Finish the rough draft of the re-write of a short, fairy tale-type horror story that I'm writing for my mother.
-Finish the rough draft of a short science fiction story.
-Plot another short science fiction story based on a dream I once had.
-Continue plotting a story I'm whipping up with tracker_lucifer's help.
At some point I'm going to sleep. And go to Comic Con. And maybe eat something, if I have time. |

| The end of a fandom: Avatar the Last Airbender |
[Jul. 19th, 2008|10:12 pm] |
| [ | mood |
| |  melancholy | ] |
So I logged on to read the many posts I knew would be waiting in the ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) avatar_fans community.
I've watched the end of two fandoms before this(Buffy, Harry Potter) and it's always the same:
Gushing, no words to describe omg, gush gush gush, fanfic time, we'll all keep in touch, bitching about ships/other things, anddddd one more gush for the road.
It's fascinating to watch this lather, rinse, repeat process of every fandom I've been involved/dabbled in. It's heartwarming to read the afterglow from the fans of a series when the end has been written.
But it also makes me a little sad because no matter what you say or do your fandom will never be the same no matter how many promises you make to yourself to stay just as involved as you are now.
Even knowing what's to come, it's still nice to just sit back right now.
In this moment.
To watch the exuberance in every comment.
Yeah....I remember. :) |

| Where the Heart is by Billie Letts |
[Jul. 20th, 2008|03:24 am] |
So about a year ago this film kept me company during one of my bouts of insomnia and it stayed with me. I asked for the book for christmas cos i didnt have a lot else to ask for and once i'd received it, promptly put it on the bookshelf and forgot about it.
Until today. Starte dit at 6pm, it's noe 3.30am and i've just finished. This is why i dont read more often, I get too involved.
( Thoughts under here )
If you're in the UK, the film is on BBC1 this monday. It's worth a watch. |

[Jul. 19th, 2008|07:41 pm] |
I left you in the morning,
And in the morning glow
You walked a way beside me
To make me sad to go.
Do you know me in the gloaming,
Gaunt and dusty gray with roaming?
Are you dumb because you know me not,
Or dumb because you know?
All for me? And not a question
For the faded flowers gay
That could take me from beside you
For the ages of a day?
They are yours, and be the measure
Of their worth for you to treasure,
The measure of the little while
That I've been long away. |

Since Avatar first began I've been waiting for this. 3 and a half years.
As exciting as it is, it is still so very bittersweet...
This show is, quite simply, a masterpiece. I've never seen anything like it, nor do I ever expect to. I'm not ashamed to say it moved me, in so many ways.
Thank you, Bryan and Mike, for this. For everything. I am at a loss for words right now, and I probably always will be.
BEAUTIFUL.
The fights scenes, the pure emotion..and dammit THE MUSIC. SOUNDTRACK PLEASE MY GOD. The animation... as an artist, it inspires me to new heights. I aspire to have that skill someday.
It was brilliant, beautiful, tragic, wonderful.
Probably a work of such creativity and whit, of humor and passion, and so much more that I will never see again. I think this is the greatest thing I've ever seen.
I'll miss it so much. And I'll love it forever.
( Yes I'm a total TOTAL dork. Leave me alone I swear it. )
W-What am I going to do with no more new Avatar... ;__;
HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT FINALE WAS FUCKING INCREDIBLE.
( but um... where the fuck is Zuko's mom... )
Edit: SWEET JESUS AVATAR_FANS I KNOW IT WAS THE FINALE BUT MY GOD... MY FLIST IS GOING TO EXPLODE FROM THE SPAMMAGE. D: |

| Wind and Window Flower |
[Jul. 19th, 2008|12:39 pm] |
Lovers, forget your love,
And list to the love of these,
She a window flower,
And he a winter breeze.
When the frosty window veil
Was melted down at noon,
And the cagèd yellow bird
Hung over her in tune,
He marked her though the pane,
He could not help but mark,
And only passed her by
To come again at dark.
He was a winter wind,
Concerned with ice and snow,
Dead weeds and unmated birds,
And little of love could know.
But he signed upon the sill,
He gave the sash a shake,
As witness all within
Who lay that night awake.
Perchance he half prevailed
To win her for the flight
From the firelight looking-glass
And warm stove-window light.
But the flower leaned aside
And thought of naught to say,
And morning found the breeze
A hundred miles away. |
