Guys, Work, and My Life in General

Happy birthday to me!!

I'm 21 today! Yay! If only I had a car I'd go buy me some stuff. Eh, whatever.

*dies* Watched it and loved it!

Whedon is just so amazing when it comes to characters and their emotions. I just feel bad for his characters. I mean, I love torturing mine with crazy stuff but he goes for the heart, literally. He never seems to write anyone who's love interest stays with them. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'd love to know if some of his characters stayed together.

The music is so addictive!!!!!!!! And it was hilarious! When Nathan Fillion appeared I died laughing.

And Neal Patrick Harris was just so adorable! He's such a good actor. And wow, his singing was amazing!

~~~

I honestly don't remember if I've written about this before and I'm too lazy to go and look now.

But I decided I want a Lorne tattoo. No not one of his face, uck I couldn't do that. I want a quote of his.

I decided on, "What's your name, peach pie?" because it's a great quote from Lorne and it's great for where I want it. Go from where a lot of girls get their lower back tattoos. Go right and stop with an inch or two before the back turns into the side/hip and then go down a little so it's on the part where the butt starts to round. It's a cute place.

My jeans will cover it when I'm standing but if I sit down or bend over and my shirt comes up a bit then anyone looking there will read, "What's your name, peach pie?" ~Lorne *dies laughing* It's perfect!

*And if anyone decides to lecture me on getting a tattoo like this, I'll be pissed*

I'm sure you've all seen the thread in the books forum about the calendar. Rivenriver has so wonderfully started it up again. I am behind the scenes helping out with rules again, like I have been from the beginning, two years ago.

She and I have come up with the idea of possibly having two calendars this year, if there is enough interest in the second one.

A lot of us are old enough to where we don't need our parents permission for most things. I'm sure you all remember the rule of no nudity. Well this year it's the same. But we were thinking if enough people wanted one and we got enough pictures for it, we would create a more adult fan art calendar.

Imagine finally getting to see a more risque scene of Daine and Numair, or Alanna and George? Or maybe the scene where Daine defeats Ozorne completely naked. We have not been able to show the fun/funny/adventurous nude scenes due to the fact that so many fans are still young.

This is the chance to get those pictures you have wanted. I'm asking those of you who want this and know the other sheroes to pass this around their LJs or through e-mail, or whatever. Spread the word about the possible adult calendar. We would LOVE enough interest and pictures. We only need 12 pictures, guys, and enough people willing to download the calendar in order to do this. Please, please, please spread the word.

You may contact me, if you have my contact info, or contact Rivenriver to let us know you want the calendar and/or are willing to contribute a picture.

Someone called Cary Elwes ugly. I'm shocked. The man is still very sexy. *drool*

I got a cold from Ethan earlier this week. Had I known he was sick I wouldn't have given him some of my drink. We figured the runny nose and being upset a lot was just because he was teething.

But nope, he's sick. I think he's beginning to get over it a little. He still has a really runny nose and is still whining non-stop.

I feel so drained it's ridiculous. Each time I even stand up my knees go weak and I start to feel disoriented.

I'm sooooo glad it's Friday. I can't wait to go home and lay in bed and watch movies and read and write and stay up as late as I want and sleep as late as I want.

Hopefully, tomorrow I'll get to go to the movies. I wanna see Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.

I haven't finished it but that doesn't matter.

Anyways, I honestly don't understand why everyone is so worked up over why Jacob imprinted on Bella's child. It's not like he thinks of her sexually or anything. And it may come to that in the future when the child is old enough but then again it may not. The only one who really knows that is the author.

I can't stand it when people take things in books so seriously when they don't know the who story. I wish that it could be that the author could write down everything they know about each and every character and give a short description of what happens to them on a daily basis. Maybe then people would stop complaining about how some things are.

Why should the age difference matter? It's not like imprinting gives you a choice. If it did then I'd say go ahead everyone, be grossed out that Jacob imprinted on one so young.

And I'm sorry to all you Mary-Sue haters out there that Bella is so perfect, I'm sorry there's yet another vampire author who wants their vampires to be being thats are so alluring physically and don't have trouble with almost everything they come across. You should have figured that's what Bella would come to when you read the other books. Why anyone who had problems with the other books even thought about reading Breaking Dawn is beyond me. You knew it was most likely going to be just like the others and still you read it and then feel you just HAVE to complain about it.

I'm not saying this book is the greatest. I really like this book and am enjoying reading it. Yes, there are some things that I think can be changed and all because it seemed they're only in there because the author thought they'd make people laugh or whatever (like the whole Nessie thing, but that also seems like it's just Jacob's personality).

Can't we just read the book as just another story? Why does it have to live up to everyone's standards? If you don't like books like that, don't bother reading past the first. It's as simple as that. If it pains you so much to read that then just don't.

I'm so tired of hearing everyone complain about this book and attack the author and the publishers. Just leave them be. If you don't like the book, so what? There's plenty of other people out there who love this book and the other three. Others who love the way the author writes and loves the stuff she created.

To me the books aren't so much about the plot development as they are about how each character is dealing with what's going on around them. We may only get to see Bella and Jacob's point of views (and pretty soon we'll get to see Edward's) but still. We rarely get to go inside the mind of the characters this much and I for one love it. So many people were disappointed in the other books because of the lack of plot. I don't think these books are really about the big things that happens in them. I believe they are more about the relationship between all the characters. The big stuff is added to give them some more excitement in their lives and in the story. Not that it needs it, I'd be perfectly fine with reading a normal romance story.

Oooh yes folks it's a Hunky Guy Post! Hooray!

Today's hunky guy is Shido Nakamura. You might know him from the movie Fearless in which he plays a deliciously sexy man named Tanaka. He was in Letters to Iwo Jima as well but I haven't seen that movie because war movies bore me and some of them make me really uncomfortable (like Pearl Harbor for some odd reason, I felt like I was going to have a panic attack watching that movie). But I might just rent it as soon as I get the late fees paid because if he's a main character then....*dies*




Unfortunately I only found one good picture of Shido as Tanaka but I didn't think it did him much justice so I didn't keep it.

So my reason for going all ga-ga all the sudden? I've been wanting to watch Memoirs of a Geisha because of Ken Watanabe (yes I have a thing for Japanese guys) and thinking of a Japanese dude reminded me of Fearless because Shido was in it.

I'd also like to see the version of Shall We Dance that has a Japanese cast because the guy who played Mr. Chairman's friend Nobu (I think the friend's name was) in Geisha is the main character in Shall We Dance and he's hot too.

So let me find pictures of Ken Watanabe and the other dude (and I will also find out the guy's name) because it makes a hunky guy post so much better if there is more than one :P

Here we go:



^^^*crazy fangirl squeal* My heart jumped when I saw this one. *glomps computer screen with picture* Ken Watanbe, people.



^^^This is the guy who played Nobu. His name is Kôji Yakusho. I think he was in the movie Babel. Boring ass movie but not any of the actors' fault. It was just a boring plot.

So now let the drooling continue.

I couldn't sleep last night. I got a little bit of sleep at first but after that first time I woke up to roll over I couldn't actually get good sleep. I kept rolling over and couldn't get comfortable at all.

Luckily, at the moment, I seem to be getting tired so I'll prolly be able to take a nap.

Last night I had a dream about Ouran High School Host Club! Most likely because I was talking about it all day.

Anyways, in it it was Tama, Mori, Honey, and me. The twins had skipped out. We were walking somewhere and Honey decided he was going to go home. At one point Tama saw this girl and thought she was cute so he went after her. Me and Mori didn't feel like running after them so we just kept walking, knowing we'd catch up later.

Some odd reason Mori was talkative and I decided to be playful and put my arm through his and just huggle onto him. ^_^

We eventually caught up with Tama. He was begging the girl to talk to him and she had shut him out of her house and wasn't listening. We told him to forget it and ended up going to sit on the grass by a lake. Tama put his head in my lap and Mori laid down with his head touching my legs. I just sat there talking to them.

It was so much fun! The coolest thing about it was that the dream wasn't cartoony at all. The characters were real people, which is so rare for me to dream.

BTW the dude in the avatar for this post is Mori XP

I just got this e-mail with a review to my fanfiction. All it said was:

Mary-Sue bad. BAD!

That's it and really I don't understand. The review was made in chapter one. Now if the person only read that chapter and figured the character(s) to be mary-sue(s) then they really should read the rest. But they could have read all 9 chapters and then just put the review in chapter one. I don't know.

The person's e-mail address was in the letter so I wrote them asking them who they thought was a mary-sue and asked them to explain why so that I could fix it if it could be fixed.

Really I don't think Bryce or her mother could be mary-sues. I can't say for the other characters because they're not mine, Batman belongs to Bob Kane and I'm not sure if Dick Grayson does, too. As of the 9th chapter Jason Todd hasn't made an appearance, but it wouldn't matter cause he's not my character either.

I'm wondering if they figured Bryce to be the mary-sue just because she can sing and dance. I never said she was the greatest dancer in all the world, just that she was really good.

And now checking the chapter one excerpt, Bryce isn't even really in it. At the very end she's born. So if this person just read chapter one then they're saying Melody, Bryce's mother, is a mary-sue. But that doesn't make any sense whatsoever. I never said that Melody could do anything good, or that she was the kindest person ever. There's nothing in there to give you a real look at her character. All you know about her by the end of chapter one is that she's stubborn, pretty, dated Dick Grayson, got disowned by her father, worked her ass off for months to buy a plane ticket to where her mother lives, and left.

Also she's pregnant, her mother's dead, and now she works as a kitchen hand in a rich household.

So how is she a mary-sue? Maybe because all those bad things happened to her? Well with her dad being the way he is, he told her he'd disown her if he found out she was dating Richard, and he found out worse, that she was pregnant. Just because a lot of bad things happen to a character doesn't make them a mary-sue, does it? I always figured it was the character's personality and what they, themselves, did that made them that way. And Melody is far from a mary-sue. She has an arrogant streak and can be quite stubborn and really lazy. But thanks to her dad throwing her out the laziness and arrogant demeanor are gone mostly.

Agh! What does the person mean!?

I gotta say it, I love Tamora Pierce.

I was just reading some of her LJ and some of the stuff on it made me chuckle. Ah, she's too fun. I can't wait for the day I get to see her in person. I know I'll do just what I did what Hawk and Ananth.

I'll vulture (circle) the table for a while and someone will have to force me to get in line and will have to speak for me and I'll never look her in the face and just hand my book over and whisper to the person speaking for me to have her sign it a certain way and then I'll say thanks real quickly and dart off.

I'm terribly shy, people. Most don't get to see me that way because I either stay away from situations that make me shy (ie. ucomfortable) or I sort of know what I'm getting into before I get in that situation.

Mostly I'm shy around people I find terribly cool, awkward to be around, or my own age. Mostly the awkward to be around encompasses really old people or people handicapped in some way or another, or black people. No offense to black people it's just I get so nervous and I don't want to say something they'll take as offensive. I grew up with half my class being black kids and I had quite a few black friends growing up so I'm fine being around them, it's just the ones I don't really know that get me nervous.

And for the people my own age, it's because I rarely find those my own age who are above the stupid popularity stuff so they think I should be skinny and wear the latest fashions and shit. They give me that arrogant look that makes me want to smack them in the face.

I'm much more comfortable with those older than me, but too much older, cause like I said, very old people (like those in their 80s and 90s) make me uncomfortable.

Anywho! Later I will try and post stuff from my quiz from Sheroes because it was really fun and I wanna show off my answers, even though most who read this are from Sheroes already.

I figured since I posted a thing on Sheroes about my LJ I'd make a post for everyone to see.

As of right now things in my life are a little crazy so most of the stuff I post is either privated or friends only. Hopefully I'll start getting happy again, and I mean really happy, cause I'm good, just not my usual perky self lately.

If that happens then there will lots of posts about cute fuzzy animals, hot actors, awesome shows/movies, etc.

So I think that about covers it. I also think I should post a little bit of something else besides this strange hello of sorts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yesterday I was sitting on the couch (like I always am when I'm at my computer on the net) and a bird smacked into the huge window behind me. I jumped up and looked outside at the poor thing. After a moment I grabbed some bread and went outside to check if it was alright. I never miss an opportunity to handle an animal that's at least mostly safe (which means I do not go outside to pet the moose that come through the yard, as much as I really badly want to *sigh*).

I know I must've frightened the poor bird more than I helped it. Luckily the thing didn't break it's neck like that grouse did a few Decembers ago. I cried over that, still do sometimes.

I picked the bird up and she was so cute ^_^ Kept falling asleep which worried me so I'd gently nudge her to wake her up. I don't know what kind of bird she was, I might go to google and check a possibility. She was brown with cream colored feather on her breast with brown spots on those. She had tiny whiskers by the corners of her beak, for catching bugs I think, like the King Fisher I believe (if my 6th grade memories serve me correctly).

I tried to give her bread but she didn't want any. I just sprinkled crumbs on the ground for later. I tried to get her to fly away but she wouldn't. I eventually stood up and put her on top of the car that's by the window because she was getting cold from being in the shade and getting blown on by the wind. She warmed up and as I stepped away she realized she could go, so she did.

I was happy she wasn't hurt. I went inside all warm and fuzzy inside and, after I gave my hands a thorough washing, I looked out the window to see if she was still in the tree. She wasn't but I noticed as I looked at the bread on the ground that there was a dead bird nearby. I felt so awful! I didn't even notice it because it was so small. It was one of the female Chickadees that live here. I also got really angry. For years birds have hit these windows in the living room because they're so big and they don't have anything on them to tell birds there's something there. Thor, my mother's fiance, won't put a piece of tape on them! You think he would have done that when the grouse broke it's neck doing that.

It makes me really angry. *sigh* Well that's it. Thanks for visiting ^_^ You can friend me if you want and I'll come by from time to time but it'll be a while before I friend anyone back, if at all.
