05:41 pm - I hate you too, December So, I still have food and shelter. Yay.
Long story made really short about what's going on: I'm in the process of moving again. Not very far, actually it's slightly down the road from where my mother and I are living now. The problem is that this move was extremely unexpected and we're totally unprepared.
Also, we're a bit short on moolah and we don't have anyone we know we can turn to. Which makes the whole moving thing harder. Obviously. *le sigh*
I really don't know what is going to be happening within the next couple of days. Thank you for all the kind thoughts, though. They help.
Eh, happy holidays? Current Mood: worried

04:16 pm - being optimistic So far, December has been a horrible month for me. I mean, really, I don't want to think about how it could get worse.
I'll try to be optimistic. I just wanted to update and let my f-list know that I'm not purposely trying to ignore my LJ.
I'm not sure if I'll still have the internet by the end of this week. Or other important things like food and shelter. But hey, I'm trying to be optimistic.
On a completely superficial note, TV has been great from what I've seen. House MD is my new favorite show. I'm still on a ER high because of the squee worthy Luka/Abby cuteness and Veronica Mars, well, that's losing my interest.
I hope all of you guys are doing well. <3 Current Mood: distressed Current Music: The Raveonettes - The Christmas Song

01:03 am - you should know Finally figured out what was wrong with my internet connection. The cable cord. I know that was really important for you to know.
I saw the new Harry Potter yesterday. It was good. I liked it. I'll probably give a spoiler-ly post tomorrow. Right now, I need to go to bed to be ready for what will most likely be one of the more interesting Thanksgiving dinners.
Okay, I don't even know why I bothered posting now. I think it's guilt. You go almost a year without updating your livejournal and then suddenly you feel the need to log on to say you walked across the street. Which, by the way, I didn't do. Getting out of the house is for looosers.
Oh, and Happy Turkey Day to everyone on my f-list living in the US. :) Current Mood: i'm sleeping Current Music: Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus

11:14 am - teevee goood I've been having problems with the internet lately. Had it put in about a week after I moved in, and yet, still not working properly. :/ I'll probably have to call the cable company and be put on hold for 24 hours. Yay.
TV has been fun though. ER, man! no_13baby knows what I mean. ( spoilers )
Living in Michigan has been nice. Or I could say stressful but hopefully that will change soon. One cool thing about the new apartment is that I painted my room. Peach. I'll admit at first that the thought of anything remotely pinkish colored made me want to through up. And sometimes in the morning when I look at my walls, it still does. But it actually turned out quite nice. Not too pink, just... peachy.
My mother sorta insisted upon the color because according to Feng Shui your single daughter should have her a peach room if she wishes to find a good husband. I didn't know I was looking for a husband, but it's nice to know that if ever I need one, I'll get a good one. ;)
I downloaded a free trial version of Ulead MediaStudio and I looove it. I've been fooling around with X-Files clips in my spare time, sorta in the hopes that I'll make a Doggett/Scully music video. So far I've just been learning how to use the program. But I really like it. Editing, I mean. Film editing is one of my dream careers. A ballerina dancing film editor, of course. :P Current Mood: calm Current Music: The Shins - New Slang

01:07 pm - Alive and well Okay, now I have to start using the eljay again. Blame my friends-list, I miss them too much.
So, what happened to me since... December of LAST year? I moved to Michigan. For those of you who didn't know, I used to live in New York, near Buffalo. As of last month I now live near Detroit. In Utica, to be exact. Come stalk me, I'm bored. ;)
Still obsessed with fandom and watching TV when I should be studying. I watched a LOT of X-Files re-runs during the summer and still am. Hence, two of my three usericons are now x-fileish. I seem to be more interested in canceled shows lately. I'm hoping that means I'll be updating TLT sometime soon. The way I treat that site you'd never know I love it (and C/W) to death. Actually, if you really know me, then you'd know that ignoring something is actually my way of saying 'I love you'. Remember that f-list. :D
Thanks to everyone who didn't de-friend me while I was completely inactive. I'm sure you just forgot I was on your f-list. But! just in case you knew and still didn't de-friend me, thanks. Current Mood: curious Current Music: Heather Nova - Not Only Human

06:34 pm - Today's Love Post for Shirley Aw, playfullips. Toppie. Shirley. We first met at Shippers United, and yes, it was in the Cordelia/Wesley thread.
She was the very first person who made me feel completely at home there and, in general, the Jossverse fandom. Joining SU was my first step out of lurkdom and without her to welcome me I probably wouldn't have kept coming back and/or tried to take an active role in fandom at all.
We have a bunch of shows/fandoms/ships in common. Even the obscure ones. And if I were ever to blame thank someone for making me the ship whore I am today, it would be her. Seriously, look up the word ship whore in the dictionary and you'll find her picture. ;)
She's great fun and obviously incredibly cool. Even though we may not talk as often as we should. But we'll fix that.
:D
If you want me to tell you how cool you are, reply to this post. Current Mood: chipper Current Music: The Stills - Gender Bombs

01:47 am - ~ I finally downloaded the show "Veronica Mars" yesterday and surprise, surprise, I am in love.
Everyone was talking about how great it was for weeks and all I could muster was an overwhelming feeling of 'meh'. But to be fair, after Angel was cancelled I really did become very apathetic towards TV shows in general. Angel was like an ex, who I really really really loved, but treated me like shit until finally breaking my heart into little tiny pieces. Ever since then, it didn't matter how cute and or funny anything else was... I can't remember where I was going with this, but the WB is a whore.
Anyway - VM completely surprised me with how good it was. I'm caught up to episode six, and small word of warning to UPN execs: I will kill if another good scripted show gets tossed to the wayside.
Speaking of good scripted shows, the "Significant Others" (which is, in fact, completely UNscripted) season two premiere aired last Sunday. That show is seriously fucking hilarious. Seriously. You should watch it. Your life would be so much better if you did. I don't know how that's possible or even true, but I'm saying it. If you go to their site and check out the ‘video’ section you can watch clips.
Also, I missed last night's ER. Apparently it was sad. I'll shed an obligatory tear.
And finally, a Meme I really want you to comment on. 'Cause if there's one thing I love, it's my f-list. :)
1. Reply to this post if you want me to tell you how cool you are!
2. Watch my journal over the next few days for a post just about you and why you rock my socks.
3. Post these instructions in your journal and give your friends a much needed dose of love and adoration! Current Mood: i'm good Current Music: Rilo Kiley - With Arms Outstretched

Take the Dante Inferno Hell Test
Most of my f-list (okay, two of them) are going to the Seventh Level. I don't know what should disturb me more. The fact that compared to my friends, I scored low on all the other levels or the fact that I'm the closest to Satan.
But to look on the bright side of things: While all my friends are busy hangin' with the Minotaur, I'll be partying with the pimps and strippers, man! Current Music: Broken Social Scene - Cause = Time

Yeah. Me either. I never have moments like that.

This thing is on crack.
somefairytale hates me and if she doesn't she should. :P
satiresqueen wants to meet me? She's one friend I wouldn't be surprised if she defriended me yesterday. I should comment on her journal more... EDIT: Nevermind, I just remembered she did defriend me. Heh.
and girlflesh? Heheh, does missambs know?
catlove, I know too well. In fact I should defriend her ass right now for all her creepiness.

10:04 pm - oh look! i'm human too There is no hope for me. But that's okay. Because I AM INSANE.
I finally saw "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead" today. Which means my Gary obsession is strong as ever. Tim Roth/Gary Oldman 4effinEver! Brilliant movie.
I've been lurking around baaaaabyanimals to cheer myself up and it's not working. Something is drastically wrong with me.
I've been pretending to be a writer again. But, meh. Remember that time I quoted "The Hours"? That's exactly it. But I do have good fic ideas, so I'm still trying.
I love this song and therefore love Rilo Kiley. I've only listened to two of her songs, but yeah. *bows to Jenn*

02:03 am - Jesus H. Christ Important note to the other members of the household:
If you’re going to gossip about me behind my back, don’t do it in front of my BEDROOM DOOR.
Thank you.
Apparently I use the words “Jesus Christ” more than any other human being on the planet. Um, okay… I’ll freely admit I say ‘fuck’ way too much, especially in front of my mother. Sometimes I might even utter a ‘shit’ when I stub my toe. But, ‘Jesus Christ’? Not my style.
I don’t really care when someone’s opinion of me is completely wrong, I just prefer you talk about it someplace where I won’t hear you. That just makes it ten times more insulting, ya know? *rolls eyes*
~
And on a much happier note: I found another Creegan/Rivers fic! On the same day that I posted my Creegs/Rivers recs angelgazing posted her lovely C/R fanfic. Great minds and all that. ;)
Salvation/Ruination by angelgazing. Unlike the other C/R fics this one actually features them as, dare I say it, a happy couple. Even though Creegan’s mind is definitely a scary place to visit, angelgazing does his characterization well. She lets his deft pain shine through while still keeping his sense of humor. It takes place completely in Rivers’ POV and ah, well, he always seems to get the short end of the stick. Rivers’ knew it would never work but he tried anyway.
Another bonus is that it makes reference to this perfect picture. Something every C/R fan should see. :) Current Mood: thirsty

06:00 pm - Grr and recs Ugh, I hate living with crazy people. Tis not fun.
At least the computer is finally working again. I have nothing worthwild to post about right now, so I'm just going to post a few recommendations. 'Cause I love me some recs.
Touching Evil: I know at least one person on my f-list watches. If you don't, you should. It's the first show since Angel that I could actually see my self really loving. And you thought after Angel I was gonna go and get a life, didn't you?
Anyway, since watching the show I've become a David Creegan/Mark Rivers shipper. Here are the only three fanfics, all Creegan/Rivers.
Year of the Monkey and Stranger both by Laura M. "Year of the Monkey" is a short ficlet that has Creegan and Rivers having an awkward chat at a bar while "Stranger" is slightly longer and very murky sense wise. I enjoyed the writer's descriptions of the atmosphere and how Mark really can't handle Creegan at all. That Ends Well by Caroline. Very sexy and very awesome characterization. I have lots 'n lots of love for this one. Current Mood: crappy Current Music: Interpol - Evil

You are a WRDL--Wacky Rational Destructive Leader. This makes you an enemy of the state. You are charismatic and winning and a very dangerous enemy. You favor justice over compassion, and would almost rather see your opponent fail than you succeed.
You impact the lives of those around you more than any other personality. People remember your name and respect you. You are a tremendous amount of fun to be around and astonishing to watch. You are generally abstinent in your habits, and you like things tidy and ordered.
When picking teams, it is smartest for others to pick yours.
