I win at life! :D
Every Tuesday on USA is a Law and Order: SVU marathon and since Tuesday is the day when I have nothing to do in the morning, I'm generally up early since lol, obsessed with SVU here. For the past three months they've been pimping White Collar, and as Matt Bomer makes me melt, I finally caught up on it on Hulu. It's a light, fun show, and omg Matt Bomer, MELTMELTMELT.
New Moon comes out tonight. WHO'S PUMPED?! -shot-
No, j/k. My friend and I considered going to the midnight showing and laughing really loudly during the serious parts. We'll probably catch it in the dollar theatre, because the first movie was fucking lulzy as all hell, and even then when we were laughing the housewives in front of us were getting miffed. I think if we did that at this midnight showing we might get shot.
It might be worth it. | |

| Just when I thought I couldn't churn out anything stupid or fluffy or pointless anymore, it happens. Maybe not so fluffy. Sometimes I also think I'm clever. I don't know anything. Title: Narration Rating: K+ Word Count: 1,958 Summary: You know what’s not funny? Axel narrating his life. You know what is funny? Axel narrating porn. Author’s Notes: Something very short, not very substantial, and because we’re all having bad days lately. Sort of fluffy. Also sort of stupid, but we’re cool bro. No beta, per normal, all errors are mine. __ | |

| For Christmas my grandfather says he is going to buy me a radar detector.
MY LIFE CAN ONLY GET BETTER FROM HERE GUYS.
Currently watching the Matrix and drinking coffee. The Matrix used to be my life. Seriously. I tried to make peppermint tea with an old peppermint but it did not come out so well. I put a dab of chocolate syrup in my coffee for experimentation and I did not like it. I need Baileys. Though I'd probably put a lot more than a dab if I had that, orz. | |

| If you ever call me, please, for the love of all things good and pretty, do not tell me you want to be "departuring" from Los Angeles to DFW, and then continuously use it throughout the entire drawn out, painful, annoying conversation. Seriously woman, how many times do I have to emphasize departing? My head. Anyway, all the input on that last matter was really sweet. I'm personally in the Roxas's camp, but I don't think there's one right answer. It's English, after all. But it was cool to see what everyone else thought. Since I do not commonly have these types of conversations with people who I see daily. Though I guess that would be kind of cool too. Though I didn't realize I could vote in my own poll so I just did right now and the Roxas's win. The rest of you can suck it! ;) My friend at work booked a ticket for Tommy Lasorta. The same person who booked a ticket for Snoop Dogg. I want to kick her in the shins. If you're a fan of indie, folkish, ambient-ish music, you should check out the Honey Trees. I love them. | |

| I'm about to get slightly nerdy. Poll #1482183 Oh English, my English
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 13 Is it "Roxas's" or "Roxas' "? I don't really think that was the best way to word that question, but hopefully you get my point. I got a review that went something like "Though there's one little error that everyone makes, but it kinda irks me. There were a few times that you typed Roxas's when it's supposed to be Roxas'. It's no biggy, I've seen everyone make that mistake, but I just thought I'd point it out. :3"Now I love helpful reviews as much as the next person, and if it had been about the stylistic choices, typos, characterization, plot, whatever, I'd probably think on it, because that's the way I roll bro. But I don't know how to feel about this. Theoretically it's a review about grammar; however, I don't think that it's right. Being uh, the person that I am, I dug out my grammar books and writer's handbook (one of those books they make you get for freshman comp class that I kept because it's just smarter that way and I love it). My grammar books weren't much help, as they'd much rather prattle on coordinators and adverbials unfunfunf, I love you grammar books, and how you talk dirty to me but my handbook provided this rule which I vaguely remembered: If the noun is singular, and ends in -s or an s sound, add -'s. Exp: Lois's sister spent last year in India.Now I think it's pretty obvious that Roxas is a singular noun and thus would qualify for the -'s usage, as it is in the example. This website seems to agree, and I am considering marrying The Apostrophe Protection Society. Honestly. Who comes up with such brilliant things? In any case, I feel more than justified in using Roxas's because that, to me, just looks better. There was also a time in my life when I thought I was more a fan of prescriptive grammar. That was a dark time in my life, as I usually smack around the English language like I possess the hand of god, and have grudgingly become more of a descriptive grammar person. Though in this case, I seem to be following prescriptive rules anyway. Anyway, what do you guys think? This poll's not so much about KH as it's about a lot of things, but Roxas was the one in question, and I think it's a shining example, so. | |

| Was busy with a con this weekend, so this is a day late. But nonetheless. Title: Across the Doorsill Rating: K+ Word Count: 5, 052 Warnings: language, and that's all folks. Summary: I would love to kiss you, but the price of kissing is your life. Akuroku, next life. Author’s Notes: The title comes from the poem Spring Giddiness, by Rumi. In September my friends and I went on a roadtrip through Texas. We stopped in Austin and had time to kill, and so we ate at this brilliant little Korean place that was kitschy, urban, and just awesome. All the chairs had little snippets of poems or songs written on them, and I saw this one. I wrote the end of this the next night, and finished it this week. Not extremely Halloween-ish, but happy late Halloween anyway. As usual, concrit is always welcomed. __ I would love to kiss you. The price of kissing is your life. Now my loving is running toward my life shouting, What a bargain, let's buy it. __ ( “I never had it in the first place. It’s Halloween tomorrow. Just come out with me. I won’t try to feel you up, or molest you, or do anything remotely dumb in your presence. I just want to kiss you.” ) | |

| I have downloaded gimp. \o/ I miss Photoshop and think the gimp interface is unfriendly as hell, but I am far too lazy to navigate torrents. Finally replaced the banner with something a little more me, got a new icon to match, which I'm not going to use for this, since it's the new default so now the rest of my entries will have it since LJ sucks with icons. Ladeda. Cleaned up my journal the past few days, icon and profile wise. Should probably get a new layout since the banner is an eyesore with it, but I am still lazy. Maybe I'll just tinker with the colors. To be perfectly safe, new banner is from Days, so if you don't want to be spoiled for anything, stay away from my journal. ;)
Going to Phoenix tomorrow for the last Lydia show of the year, which makes me indefinitely sad, but ah well, new record I hope. Btw, someone please humor me and tell me how you upload entire files to mediafire or megaupload, not just single files? Is that possible? I tried zipping it and that didn't work, and I have them all stored in the same folder, but you can't just download the folder, you still have to do it singularly, which is more than annoying. At least, to me. >.>
I've been talking a lot lately. About nothing particularly important either. Hrm. | |

| Go Angels.
I think this series was so much more heartbreaking than last year's because we seemed to have a fantastic rhythm early in the season. We lost Manny, which we all thought was going to devastate the team, but Juan Pierre stepped up. We had pitching talents like Kershaw who did fine regular season. Andre Ethier gets better and better every season. But the Phillies were just a better team, and we choked like we usually do. We peaked too early.
Oh well. There's always next year. My family has decided that whoever wins in the Yankees-Angels series is the team we'll support. I hate the Yankees, but I cannot forgive the Phillies. Mostly because I want to knife Shane Victorino in the fucking face.
Basketball season's here. Let's go Lakers. Maybe we'll repeat, and then go on to threepeat like those magical early 2000's. We can dream.
I haven't written fluff in an extremely long time, but I am now. Days made me want something cute and fluffy. The horror.
I missed Glee because I was watching the Phillies rush the field while simultaneously fervently wishing the fireworks would go haywire and kill them all. Was it a good episode? | |

| I changed all the keywords on my icons and now all my icons are defaulting. WHAT. THIS MAKES NO SENSE. I mean, I'm sure it does, but... but... :|
>.> I DON'T HAVE A PAID ACCOUNT FOR IT TO SHOW THE SAME ICON OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Hmph.
Though of course, Jeremy Renner stayed for whatever reason. :3 Hey bby. I knew we were meant to be together~ | |
