I'm in such a good mood right now! I was feeling really crappy on Thursday and Friday because I stalled out on participants for my research project at 25, and my goal had been 100. And I could see other people posting their surveys, and they were getting tons of participants and far surpassing the number I had even though I had posted it earlier. And I had already sent it to most of the people I was planning to, so I was freaking out. But one of my roommates was asking me about the project (she had already taken the survey and sent it to a few of her close friends) and I was telling her how freaked out I was, and she was like "Ok, I'll make a Facebook event and invite every single one of my Facebook friends who are undergrad students even if I don't know them very well!" and within a few hours, my participant number had shot up from 25 to 44. And right now I'm at 83. I sent it to about 4 more people total over the weekend and asked them to send it around, and I know for sure at least 2 of my friends said they were really busy during the week and they'd be able to take it and send it out over the weekend, so I know some of those participants are due to that, but I'm pretty sure the vast majority of the additional participants I got were due to her doing that. So I'm like totally indebted to her right now because she really, really helped me out there.

Unfortunately I have a problem now. Despite the number of participants, based on the groups of people I'm looking at specifically, I can't really say anything. I don't have nearly enough freshmen, unfortunately. And I can send the survey out to about 20 people on Facebook that I haven't already sent it to and most of whom are freshmen or sophomores (I'm considering grouping freshmen and sophomores into 1 group, so I'd need 50 total; right now I have 35, so sending it to those people should take care of that difference). However, there are... issues with that? Because one of the scales I'm using I had to pay $100 for 100 permissions (meaning 100 people can take it) and the school's psych department is willing to pay up to about $100 for things like that. But I don't know what happens if I go over 100. And it's not like I can control exactly how many people take the survey; I mean, I can send it to exactly 17 people, but they might not all take it, and there might be some people left who have been too busy or don't check their e-mail often and end up taking it later, which would push me over. I'm going to talk to my advisor tomorrow about it because it's kind of a pretty big problem. Hopefully it'll work out.

Random TV thoughts:

( Being Erica )

( Legend of the Seeker )

I've watched other TV, but can't remember any pressing thoughts I had about them. I have a fair amount of work to do this week, although I've been pretty productive this weekend so far. Mostly. Most of the work is in Discrete Math, which sucks. I really, really do not enjoy that class, and I hate how when we have major projects or assignments due, we still have the normal homework/assignments due, so then there's just a huge pile-up of work that takes hours and hours. Particularly since the basic assignments for every class take hours and hours to get through, and even then I don't finish them and there are questions I've answered wrong. Oh well. I need to remember that I'm taking this class pass/fail and I have an A in it right now, so it's not like I need to worry too much about it. Anyways, I've been taking like an hour break, so I should do a little more work before dinner. Only 2 1/2 weeks until Thanksgiving break! I can't wait to be home again and get to relax for a little while.

Bitchin' Friday night, I turned down daiquiris to fucking work. The thing that sucks for me is that I really have to be in the mood to webcode, and I like never am so when I DO feel it, I have have HAVE to do it otherwise I never will. Does anybody use Dreamweaver? Because I had it open and I couldn't even figure out how to put a fucking background image on and I seriously think at this point that it'd be easier for me to just hand-code the damn thing. Or maybe I should use Dreamweaver because if it's as much of a pain in the ass as I think it is, it'll take longer than coding it by hand and I get paid by the hour, so. Maybe this is the smarter choice, I just don't think I can deal with it because I hate change and I'd rather lose the money than my sanity. And fuck, I need to do all this php blogging shit I've never done before and my hair hurts. Also, my room is a mess. I don't like coding when my room is a mess. My hair's a mess though, and that I don't mind so much. And it's so hard, because my boss' hair is so hard to Photoshop, it's like Hugh Laurie. Gemma and I bitch constantly about how hard Hugh's hair is to cut around. So this is like a Hugh Laurie issue. No, but I need money for the end of November and I want shoes and lingerie and tattoos. I want mah stars. And I want a fuckin' camera, I don't want to have to use the Elliots' D90 this year, I want my ownnn. I JUST SKDJLFJHKJHDFSA.

I stopped doing that in the middle of the night, and my mom and I then wasted like two hours just dicking around on Facebook, playing 10 Second Interview and Compare People. THEN we played for ANOTHAR HOUR with StumbleUpon (HOLY FUCK NUGGETS THIS THING KNOWS ME SO WELL. Gave me a page on color psychology, then went right into one on Lucid Dreaming, I fucking freaked). She went to bed, but then I spent a fuck ton of time reading through things on Wikipedia. It's a fun game, I just keep clicking on things of interest and before you know it, time has passed significantly.

I finally went to bed at 6, was just drifting off when I got a text from Derek - I was in his dream just then and he wanted to tell me about it. Cute, and I loved it so much because we talked just as he was waking up and I was going to bed, and I loved that little meet-in-the-middle and the transfer of sleep or something, I don't know. It just felt really right and unique, and it was a nice little surprise because it's such an odd time for us to talk. I asked him if he was up for the day and he said he probably was, so I told him I was going to bed and I'd see him later, when he could tell me all about the sunrise I'd blissfully miss.

And now I have to go get READY, dnw. I'm tired. lol. FUCK I AM SO LATE. HELP.
EDIT: He is too. He's later than me. We're good, nevermind.

( image heavy )

Me: Hey! I got your voicemail! Sad me out! How's it going?
Derek: It's good! I'm at my dad's office--
Me: Oh shit, I'm sorry!!
Derek: No, it's fine! We just finished up Chinese food and now we're talking about bed bugs.
Me: OH, BECAUSE OF 30 ROCK LAST NIGHT?!
Derek: What?
Me: Do you watch 30 Rock?
Derek: What's 30 Rock?
Me: "What's 30 Rock?"?! That's a deal-breaker, ladies.
Derek: What are you talking about.
Me: Nevermind. But you guys talking about bed bugs in a meeting, that's really fucking coincidental then.
Derek: Okay.

LOL. POOR KID.

I love this movie. To pieces. It's one of my top ten most favorite movies of all time. And this scene always makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Harold is so oblivious to the world of romance (and women in general), he has ruined nearly every single interaction he has with Ana. Then he puts a lot of thought and effort into this apology and the "speech" he gives her, that he's able to think out of the box. Flowers? Please, everyone gets flowers. But flours? Not only is it a practical gift for Ana, it's absolutely touching. It's sweet. It shows he really cares about her and it just makes me swoon.

I slept in today and it was glorious. I'm so much more pleasant when I don't have to get up before 10.

Yoga was great today - we did a video that everyone laughed at because it was so contorted and difficult, but I really quite loved because it reminded me so much of dance. It focused more on sweeping and stretching and god there were some really gorgeous lines, I enjoyed it immensely. Abnormal Psych was interesting too, we talked about Alzheimer's and dementia and it scared the hell out of me, ngl. DNW either of those things when I get old. She asked the question -

Poll #1481393
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 44

"If there were a test that could tell you today if you'd develop Alzheimer's later on in life, would you have it done?"

I went to do Lab after that, and sat there for 45 minutes doing absolutely nothing because they wouldn't let me do it by myself and nobody else fucking came in to do it and I got sick of waiting. I mean, that's kind of ridiculous. If you're going to make us work in pairs, at least have us sign up or something so shit like this doesn't happen. I'll probably just end up with a zero on it, ngl, because there's no fucking way I'm driving to campus tomorrow JUST for this and JUST to have it happen again, or, OR, I DO go and someone DOES come but they're a fucking idiot I don't want to work with anyway. Like, there's no way I can win here, why can't you just let me do it on my own. Fuck you. My time is so much more valuable than that.

My mom's a mind-reader, I wanted Chinese SO bad for dinner, and I was going to ask her when she got home if she wanted it too but then she called just now and asked if I wanted Chinese for dinner lolol. WIN. She did my hair last night, it's a little too light for my liking so we're going to add in more golden low-tones.

Derek is coming home for the weekend so we're either hanging out tomorrow or Saturday but I don't know yet and I'm kind of excited to do something with him that isn't dance because idk, I just am. I love dancing but I'd also love to do something simple maybe, relax and just be with him. I also want to try to go to the art museum sometime soon because they have a thing on the Lourve rn and I want to fucking go and I love going there because it reminds me that the world is so much bigger than me and I love that feeling, it makes me feel young. But Tyler, my art buddy is being fucking weird. We were texting today and then he asked me to hang out and when I was free and then when I told him, he stopped talking to me? Lol, ok.

Ali invited me to her time share in Mexico for spring break!! I have never been to Mexico! She invited Mette too (WHICH LIKE, THE THREE OF US IN THE SAME SPACE, IT'S UNMATCHED) but she can't go because her school has a different break :( I'll still probably go.

I have felt the great need today to just be smarter. I have no idea where it came from (PROBABLY WHEN MY PSYCH TEACHER FUCKING SCARED ME), but I kind of WANT to do Logic and read a bunch of shit and here's a crazy idea, my mom thinks I should major in Math. I feel like that'd be stupid because I want to be some sort of artist in the long run, but art and math do go together and apparently a Math major is one of the best ones you can have because "you can get any job you want," she said. Someone shed some light on this? IDK. idc, either really. I'm just speaking. NO BUT ANYWAY, I was thinking of what I wanted to get smart about and I thought about how I should watch X-Files more, except this time, take the time to look up everything they reference. I've always wanted to do that but I never have. THEN I REMEMBERED I GOT A FUCKING HUGE X-FILES BOOK IN NY THAT ALREADY HAS DONE THAT AND I JUST HAVE TO READ IT. SO I THINK I WANT TO READ THAT. I also want to read moar Transcendentalist literature. And Donaho got a catalogue of Philosophy books, and he got an extra so he gave it to me and I looked through it and there are SO MANY BOOKS I WANT!!!1 Cinema Philosophy, Morality Without God, THE PHILOSOPHY OF DECEPTION!!1. I just find this shit SO fucking interesting. There's also a Kama Sutra book in here. OOOH, Value, Reality, & Desire. WANT. TOO BAD THESE INTELLECTUAL MOMENTS ARE FLEETING AND I ALWAYS GET TOO LAZY TO READ SHIT WHEN I COULD BE LIKE, EDITING OR SLEEPING OR BEING ON THE INTERNET INSTEAD. :( :( :(

I find the Google image of the day celebrating 40 years of Sesame Street to be disingenuous. Cookie Monster can have cookies on Google, but NOT on Sesame Street anymore? How is that right?

My dreams were so mixed up and fucked last night. Like I had dreams within dreams and all kinds of crazy things. I dreamt I was watching House. And he kissed her. And I fucking freaked out and went to flail about it but then realized I had never made a discussion post. So I just went on house_cuddy really quick and did font-size="+5" DISCUSSION POST /font as a post lol. When I refreshed it and it only had three comments, and none of them mentioned the kiss, I was like wtf, but then I realized that FOX was showing a rerun of Painless instead of a new episode, and I had no idea how I was seeing it but I was. So they fucking kissed and then went to commercial that said something about "disdain that only you can taste", and when they came back there was a shot of House in bed, answering the phone, "*whines* somebody better be dead" and then he hangs up and lays back down but then Cuddy comes out of the covers on the other side. And her hair is curled up all cute as fuck, she looked like she came right out of the champagne part of the RV shoot, except her dress was light desaturated pink instead of blue. And then I was kind of like "oh my fucking god they totally did it" for awhile. He got out of bed and she sat on the edge of it as she scrunched her hair and said something about how "this was really, really good for me and you have no idea how long I've wanted to do that." He turned into his little smart-ass self and was all, "Well maybe I did actually have somewhat of a SMALL inkling that maybe, just maybe, you wanted on me ;)." Then the camera panned over to show the bathroom FULL OF FUCKING CANDLES THAT WERE STILL LIT and a bathtub that was still full of water. And I was like, "Oh my fucking god is this real life". Answer: No, no it is not. lol. Then she was sitting on the couch and he blew everything out and then came up behind the couch and put his hand on her arm and kissed her again and I remember thinking, "dude that's like three kisses in ONE episode - LOOK AT ALL THE OPTIONS YOU HAVE FOR VIDEOS NOW!!!" And then I woke up inside my dream and knew that it wasn't real and it was sad. Then there was other weird shit, like Megaupload calling my phone, and a dance off, walking through water and climbing in trees, latex gloves.

→ Remember how I hate my Genetics teacher like fuck for being lazy and incompetent and just ridic in general? Well her laziness is FINE when it affects me positively. She canceled class on Thursday, which I'm fine with, and she ALSO canceled our 5 page paper. Granted I didn't even KNOW about it, but that's why she canceled it. "I'm canceling it because I mentioned it on the first day of class and then never really brought it up again so we're just not going to do it." Okay, no problem. I don't have to waste time writing it and you don't have to waste time grading it. Win-Win.

→ My mom is home from Florida! Fucking FINALLY, christ. And I'm getting mah hair done tonight, thank god, it needs highlights SO bad rn.

→ WADE ROBSON'S PIECE ON SYTYCD LAST NIGHT. HOLY FUCK, YOU GUYS. WHERE DOES HE COME UP WITH THIS SHIT. The idea was, what if Van Gogh's "Starry Night" was originally painted with people in it. And then for his final draft, he took them out, and now they've come to haunt him. LIKE, WHAT A FUCKING CONCEPT, WHERE DOES IT EVEN COME FROM. And the way he's talking to them about it - "there are no rules because you don't exist". GOD. I also really, really liked the contemporary piece about fear. I WANT TO PUNCH CHANNING IN THE FACE. SHE IS THE MOST CLUMSY, LACKLUSTER DANCER I'VE EVER SEEN ON THAT SHOW AND HOW SHE DID NOT GO HOME LAST NIGHT IS FUCKING BEYOND ME, BEYOND. Other than that I hated every dance ever and we started muting Mary Murphy and I have no idea why we haven't done that sooner. I was just disappointed in gen, and btw, Mollee bugs the ever-loving shit out of me. This season is buggin', ngl.

I forgot to mention in my last post, but it's a new month, and in October I watched 249 episodes of TV, 2 movies, and read 2 books. Not bad considering recently I've been watching like no movies and reading no books. And I think the episodes of TV might be the highest I've watched in a month all year which is pretty ridiculous. I guess it's the combination of me watching loads of shows, all the shows being new pretty much all through October, and watching all of Fringe, The Big Bang Theory, and Greek.

Anyways, thank you so much to everyone who's helped out with my research project so far! I've been stressing out about getting enough participants for this project since... well, since I found out that I'd have to do a project like this and recruit a bunch of participants. Right now, I'm at 20 participants, which doesn't sound great, but it's actually better than I thought I've had at this point, and I've barely sent it out to anyone I know from school. So hopefully I'll be able to get close to 100. I'm trying not to obsess too much over it right now. Or refresh the page to see how many participants I have every other second. If you have no idea what I'm taking about, check out this post I made yesterday! I could still really use a lot of help!

I have a lot of various things coming up. blah. I have a German test on Friday I need to start studying for. I actually got nearly all my Discrete Math homework done last night, which is awesome. It always stresses me out way too much when I leave it all for Wednesday night. Cognitive Psych is quickly becoming my absolute favorite class. It's reminding me of how much I love psychology and how interested I am in it in general, even though Cognitive Psych isn't even my favorite area in psych. And it helps that I ended up with a 105 on the midterm.

I have very random thoughts on TV!

( Gossip Girl 3.08 )

( V 1.01 )

Posting again so soon... It's like the old days!

1. Why New York City is the Greatest City on Earth:
Exhibit A: Boom Box-Carrying Say Anything Mob Takes New York

I'm thinking this will be an ongoing project of mine. Tune in later this week for more examples.

2.

“I guess we’re all women that do things. You know, it’s like really pretty women with straight teeth, it seems like they don’t have to do anything. They can sort of, like, sit back and let life happen to them. And that doesn’t work for everybody, but that works for some of them, I guess. But, you know, when you look like me, you can’t sit back and wait for things to happen ‘cause nothing’s gonna happen. About seven years ago, I was really unhappy and a lot of things were wrong in my life, but the thing that bothered me the most, I think, was that I didn’t have a nice boyfriend. And guys would ask me out, but it was like all the guys that asked me out, they were all creeps. And I wanted to meet somebody nice. So I looked at all the couples I knew and I tried to analyze the situation and it seemed like guys wanted women who were valuable for some reason. They could be valuable because they were beautiful, or they could be valuable because they had money, or they could be valuable because they had some kind of interesting career, like maybe they did something. And I took a real good look at myself and I realized that I wasn’t valuable at all. Here I was, I wasn’t beautiful, I had funny teeth. I didn’t have any money, and I was a bookkeeper. And there’s nothing more boring than being a bookkeeper. And so I figured that if I wanted to be valuable, and if I wanted to find a nice boyfriend, I was gonna have to do something. So I stopped going out on the weekends and I started drawing comics every weekend. And I did that for four years and I got a few things published and I met this real nice guy! He’s my boyfriend now, and he’s been my boyfriend for two and a half years, and he thinks I’m real valuable because I’m a cartoonist. And he thinks I’m so valuable that he’s supporting me now, so I can work on my cartooning full time and I don’t have to work at a bookkeeping job anymore. And I’m kind of glad my teeth are like this, because if I had nice, straight teeth I might never have done anything.” –Dori Seda, Gap-Toothed Women

I can't tell if that inspired me to do something, or of it just made me sad that there are people out there who don't feel valuable just the way that they are.

3. I'm about to watch the 'Francesca' episode of Related. I cry every single time I watch it. And I sort of love it for that. (I miss this show way too much.)

Just testing to post using my iPhone since it's on me constantly. Hehehe.

Please read this entire entry through!

I'm doing my Capstone for my major right now, which involves designing a study and then carrying it out. Right now, I'm at the point where I need to get a lot of participants. So, I'm asking for your help. I need undergraduate students to take an online survey. It should only take 15 minutes to complete and you can fill out a page, walk away from your computer, fill out another, etc., so you don't have to do it all in one go. If you're an undergraduate student, please click here to take the survey. The responses are completely confidential, so if you feel weird taking the survey even if we never talk, you never update/comment, if you found this entry through your friends' friends page, or you're a lurker, you can still take the survey and I'll have absolutely no way of connecting your responses to you, or of even knowing that you took the survey.

Additionally, if you're not an undergraduate student but you still want to help out (please!), you can do so as well. If you know of undergraduate students (friends, roommates, siblings, etc.), I would really appreciate it if you would send the link (http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=yFRsWVoL4EYXyepOBUTeDQ_3d_3d) to a few that you know. It would also be really helpful if you linked to this post in your livejournal, if you wanted to do that. Also, if you know of some community where you can post a survey and get participants (I've looked a little and haven't found anything, but I haven't looked very hard), then if you could let me know about that, that would be great.

I feel weird/bad asking so desperately for participants, but I need a minimum of 100, and I do not actually know 100 undergraduate students. I'm sending it to a few groups of people and asking them to send it to a couple people each, but I don't know how likely it is they'll actually send it out, and I would need them to each send it to a minimum of 3 people and for every single person they send it to to actually take it for me to get close to 100.

Anyways, I will be reposting the link to the survey and to this post every couple of days over the next week or so until I get a good number of participants, just to warn you. I'm sorry that I have to spam your flist with this over the next few weeks, but I'm really desperate, and it's imperative that I get a lot of participants.

Quick update: I went home from last Wednesday to Sunday over Fall Break, and it was great. I was able to wear a t-shirt outside and not even remotely freeze to death! And it was really nice being able to relax for once. I saw An Education with my parents on Saturday which was really good; I definitely recommend it. The lead actress is Sally Sparrow from the "Blink" episode of Doctor Who! And the screenplay was adapted by Nick Hornby, who's a great writer. So I definitely suggest seeing it. And now I'm back at school and I'm past the halfway point of the semester which is partially nice and partially just entirely stressful since I'm at the really tough part of my research project now. Hope everything's going well for everyone else!

YOU GUYS YOU GUYS YOU GUYS. THE DREAM I HAD JUST NOW, I CANNOT EVEN MAKE THIS SHIT UP.

SO. For whatever reason, I was in an office with Greg Yaitanes, and he said something about how he had to go. He like, jokingly asked if I WANTED TO GO UPSTAIRS AND READ AN ADVANCE SCRIPT OF A HOUSE EPISODE IN LINGERIE. (I THINK IT'S BECAUSE OF ALL OF MY HOUSE SPOILER AND GY TALK YESTERDAY, AND ALSO BECAUSE IRL LAST NIGHT I WAS WALKING AROUND IN THIS PINK LACE THING I NEVER GET TO WEAR, SO LIKE, THIS DOES MAKE SENSE, I SWEAR) I was like, "OMG CAN I?!" He like, didn't understand and I was like, "Even if you don't actually let me READ anything, I want to go just to say I've DONE that - gotten to read a House script early, IN LINGERIE NO LESS". And he like, hesitated and said he wasn't supposed to do that and I was like, "WHAT IF I PINKIE SWEAR. I PINKIE SWEAR LIKE HELL I WON'T SAY ANYTHING. I love you and this show too much to fuck you over." And then he said okay and we were going upstairs and lol. I had to fill out some srs bsns form, and then we passed a bunch of people reading scripts at these srs bsns tables with like timers and supervisors and script-reading goggles. We sat at a table to wait, and I think I was with two RL friends now, idk, but then Lawrence Kaplow walked by to fill up his coffee. And I kind of freaked out a little and then we were like, "Excuse me, are you Lawrence Kaplow" and he was like, "I am, actually" and he turned around and he was all interesting and shit. We were like, "Oh, we love you!" AND THEN WE FREAKED OUT THAT WE LIKE, GAVE OURSELVES AWAY AS HOUSE FANS WHO WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THERE. He asked if we were there for the show and I froze like fuck and my friend was like, "Nope! We're just checking things out! Going to try and pitch something later." And he totally bought it, YES. Then he was all, "Have you guys heard of twitter?" LOL. I was like, "Yeah! That's how we know what you look like, actually!" lol. And then I started talking, I don't remember what about but I stopped and was like, "No but seriously, I don't want to annoy you" and he was SO nice and smiley and all, "You're not annoying me!" He asked if we'd seen any good movies lately and I totally froze and blurted out Paranormal Activity even though I haven't even seen it, so I was hoping he wouldn't ask me about it. He didn't. lol. But he made a REALLY disapproving face/sound like he totally hated the film. Then I told him we saw Rocky Horror on Halloween and he turned his coffee mug to show me the RH red lips on it. It was so badass and I loved him. But then he left. And we were waiting for our script/lingerie time, and I said something like, "You know what else is awesome? Lisa is probably IN THE BUILDING rn. AND SO IS THE GLEE CAST!!!!!" (probably because I was all shipping Cuddy/Puck before I went to bed). Then I woke up.

tropicalsoul: "..don't like, don't follow." Now you are asking why ppl never watched the show. Aren't you worried about losing loyal fans too?
GregYaitanes: how could i lose a loyal fan ... if they are in fact... loyal?
tropicalsoul: Forgot to say you could lose loyal fans by catering to a small # and alienating the rest. Tells us we aren't important to you.
GregYaitanes: bye!

LOLOL THERE ARE NO WORDS FOR HOW MUCH I'M LOLING. I WANT TO BE HIM WHEN I GROW UP.

ALSO I MADE FRIENDS TODAY!!! HI!!!

I OBVIOUSLY WORE A LONG BLACK COAT OVER THIS WITH THE COLLAR POPPED TO BE MOAR IC. AND MY FISHNETS WERE A PAIN IN THE ASS BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T *EVEN* FISHNETS, THEY WERE LIKE, FISHNET STOCKINGS WITH TIGHT THINGS AT THE TOP BUT THEY KEPT SLIDING DOWN BECAUSE I WORE REGULAR BEIGE DANCE TIGHTS UNDERNEATH THEM BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING COLD HERE, OK. HALLOWEEN SHOULD BE IN THE SUMMER. THIS MAKES NO SENSE. AND OMG I TOTALLY FORGOT TO TALK ABOUT SOME STUFF. OKAY. THERE WAS A COSTUME CONTEST~. So everyone dressed up as RHPS characters had to go up there. And they narrowed it down to a few of the best ones, so we were doing final voting, and a Frank stepped up, then a Rocky right next to him. And the Rocky looked at the Frank and kind of shrugged and then these two guys just totally started hardcore making out and Rocky put his leg up around his hip and ljsdkhfljkahsflkjsahf lmao lmao lmao. I don't know if they even KNEW each other at ALL. AND OMG THEY ALSO HAD A REALLY AMAZING PROP 8 MUSICAL. And people were so fucking fun, they showed previews beforehand and people were yelling at them and being so witty and hilarious and I WANT TO HANG OUT WITH THEM 24/7. And omg we had to go up to the stage so we did and Met & I held hands just because we were all faux ~nervous~ and then this girl in the front row says to the guy next to her, "LIPSTICK LESBIANS. RIGHT. IN. FRONT OF US." And we instantly let go lmao. "Maybe we shouldn't hold hands anymore." OMG. AND NOW I'M LOLING IRL BECAUSE YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THEIR CONCESSIONS COMMERCIAL, TOO. Like the standard happy treats were singing about the concession stand, and then this group of badass food came and started yelling and playing fucking rock guitar and screaming, and when the music started, some guy in front of us leapt up and started head-banging like WHOA, like I'm surprised his neck didn't fucking snap in half, and seriously, whenever I think about it I die of lol irl. "Did you bring your baby? THIS IS NOT FOR BABIES. TAKE THE SEED OUTSIDE. LEAVE IT IN THE STREET. AND THEN RUN IT OVER AFTER THE MOVIE" - that's what the pretzel was singing. IT WAS EPIC, YOU HAVE NO IDEA. THE CARTOON FOODS MADE A FUCKING ROCK BAND AND WERE YELLING AT US ABOUT OUR SEED.

I CAN'T FIND MY CAMERA CORD. I FEEL LIKE I'M YELLING A LOT.

I have spent ALL day working on this, but have loved every minute of it. Anything to relive this episode over and over again!

Also, side note - this is my very first recap/picspam for... anything. So please, be kind. :D



( VERY image heavy )

HALLOWEEN HAS BEEN STRESSING ME OUT LIKE SHIT.

I of course have no bitchin' costume, because I am a lazy lameass. Mette and I were going to go to a party with our friend Katie, but Katie spontaneously decided just a couple of days ago that she's going to Vegas? Ok. Then Derek invited me to stay with him for the weekend (we talked on the phone for five hours last night, you guys, five hours. what. it felt like two), and I kind of wanted to go but I didn't want to drive an hour to get there. Molly invited us to stay with her too, but again, that's another hour, except in a different direction. And I'm just so lazy, okay. But then I figured, you know, it would be fun to go to either of those places, so I asked Mette but no, we can't go, because she apparently works until 8. Ok. FML? Yeah. BUT THEN BUT THEN. I go on Facebook. And see that someone's status was something about Rocky Horror Picture Show at midnight tonight AND MY LIFE JUST CLICKED INTO PLACE. SO WE'RE GOING TO THAT, GOD I HOPE WE GET TIX. OH, BRAD.

I watched the shows I missed on Thursday - why can I never have a life on Fridays when nothing is on anyway. Oh my god The Office, all of their costumes fucking KILLED me, okay. And I thought Michael was really adorable (not in the open, lol, but in the rest of the episode). Always Sunny is losing it. :( I did like Dee's stuff, but I hated the rest of it. Where is the funny. Community, I ship Jeff/hot!teacher. Totally. I loved her, so blunt and witty. LOVED BRITTA'S COSTUME, I DIED. also, lol @ every time Batman!Abed spoke. I haven't watched 30 Rock yet.

ALSO, CROSSPOSTING, I made a video of Cuddy stripping to Adam's new song. Because it was perfect for it and I LOVE IT. I WANT DJ'S TO START PLAYING IT IMMEDIATELY. I SEE THIS MOTHERFUCKER FARING EXTREMELY WELL ON A DANCE FLOOR. ALSO, IS HE STILL BEING A GLAMPIRE TONIGHT? BECAUSE I HOPE WE SEE PHOTOS AND I ALSO THINK I WANT TO GO AND LOOK FOR A VAMPIRE COSTUME RN AND PUT GLITTER ALL FUCKING OVER MYSELF. AND I HAVE FAKE EYELASHES WITH RHINESTONES ON THEM, LIKE, I OWN THAT SHIT.

♥ Hi, everyone! I don't normally post my fanvids to my personal journal, but this vid held me as a slave for so long that I feel like it's ENGRAVED ON MY SOUL. And this journal is my soul by extension. Or something. Anyway, I know only like 5% of you care about Merlin and the fanvids I make about it, so NO HARD FEELINGS IF YOU JUST SCROLL ON BY. AS LONG AS WE STILL LOVE EACH OTHER.

brief summary: about arthur pendragon and how he is sometimes (always) a prat, but there are at least three people who really love him. OH MY GOD WHICH PEOPLE CAN YOU HANDLE THE MYSTERY? READ ONWARDS (for links, embedded video, vidder notes, and a little bit of spoilery discussion):
