Sick of memes yet? TOO BAD. :D

10. YOUR ACTION HERO NAME: (first name of the main character in the last film you watched, last food you ate)

And now I think I'm gonna have to watch Merlin-- the M/A side of the fandom kind of exploded, so I need to go see what all the fuss is about.

Just finished watching the end of Young Dracula...

I thought Eerie had a lot of loose ends! D: BIGGEST CLIFFHANGER ENDING EVER! A third season needs to be made, like, yesterday. Augh!

On the bright side, I can now start planning my fic. :) YAY. And maybe make some icons, since I need some YD ones on here.

EPIC TRAILER IS EPIC OMG

Yeah, internet fixed, turned out to be a minor problem that my dad quickly fixed, phew. BUT OMG PERCYYYYYYY!!!

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS MOVIE.

I know I just posted, like, 2 hours ago, but it's my journal and I'll post if I want to... I'm a meme whore anyway~

I promise, fic will come when the semester's over, Or at least my research project. D: For now, it's super-awesome meme-age. Yet another from ssquirrel_fic , it's the OTP Meme!

Rules:
1. The OTP could be any part of a fandom (canon, uncanon, CanonxOC, OCxOC, ect.)
2. The pairing can be het, slash, femslash, etc
3. Choose up to five of your OTPs
4. Answer all of the questions

1. What's your OTP, and what fandom are they from?
Marshall/Dash- Eerie, Indiana
Robin/Vlad- Young Dracula
Heero/Relena- Gundam Wing
Artemis/Holly- Artemis Fowl
Percy/Annabeth- Percy Jackson and the Olympians
(look, I have a healthy mix of slash and het! I'm well-balanced :D )
( More fun after the cut! )

ETA: Edited, because stupid me forgot question #4! D:

I saw this on ssquirrel_fic 's journal, and so I decided to fill it out. :)

*INCOHERENT KEYBOARD MASH*

OMG MERLIN WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO MEEEEEE D:

PIECES OF MY BROKEN HEART ARE NOW LYING ALL OVER MY BEDROOM FLOOR. THANKS A LOT. NOW I GOTTA FIND A BROOM AND SWEEP EM UP.

SHOW, DON'T EVER STOP BEING AMAZING.

*ahem*

Uh, yeah. And I'm onto season 2 of Young Dracula now-- oh hai there, puberty striking between seasons! Hee, Vlad's like half-a-foot taller and his voice is deeper. It amuses me. Puberty, now that's eerie.

And he and Robin have officially switched roles-- Vlad's finally behaving like a man, and Robin's his bitch. All is well in the universe. And Ingrid's still a bitch like she always was. But I love her anyway.

I'm not even to the really good episodes yet! But now I need screencaps. And icons. And hope I can make icons in Microsoft Publisher, because I no longer have Photoshop... *cries*

Ah, well, enough fandom ramblings for tonight. Enough computer for tonight. It's writing time~!

Oh hai, this is from eviinsanemonkey :
• Leave me a comment saying "Resistance is Futile."
• I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can satisfy my curiosity.
• Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
• Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.

1. If you met Marshall Teller on the street, what would you say to him?
Oh my God! *fights fangirl instincts* Where have you been since Eerie ended?!

2. Do you like writing more or drawing?
Writing, definitely, because that's what I want to make a career out of. Drawing's just a hobby (and a way to give my characters faces).

3. What do you want to be when you grow up?
An author! But I realize how impractical that is, so I'd be happy with freelancing or a full-time job for a newspaper, mag, whatever.

4. What's your favourite way to waste time?
Surfing the net. I do this ALL THE TIME.

5. What talent are you most proud of?
The ability to pick up pretty much any subject and do well at it, school-wise. It makes me feel versatile.

Things I would love to do this month BUT CAN'T:
-NaNoWriMo! This is the first time in like 5 years I really haven't had the time to do it! Not that I've ever had success with it (hell, I don't even think I've even made it to 25,000 words), but it was still a good way to spur me to write. But I have been writing anyway, so yeah.
-yuletide Because this sounds like loads of fun, and it would give me an excuse to make people write me Eerie!fic, but again, NO TIME.
- Organize my iTunes library so every song has a pretty album cover to go with it. AKA me being anal.
- FANMIXES. I've got a bunch of lists for fanmixes (hello, Mars/Dash list from forever ago!), but I've yet to actually make one.
- Draw! Ugh, haven't been doing that much lately (except for my drawing class which doesn't count, because that's not what I want to draw).

Things I need to do this month:
- Write my 20-25 page pager for Research Design. No, I'm not kidding. At least the title page, abstract, and reference pages count towards that number. Oh, and to go with this, I also need to hand out 60 surveys, analyze the results, and put the results in said paper. AAAAGH! Thankfully, I can virtually write the rest of the paper now, since I did all the research part early (thank God that's out of the way). I hate large projects. And this, my friends, is why I will not miss college when I'm done.
- Write my other article for Feature Writing. Not hard, just tedious.
- Stay healthy. Seriously, there's been stomach viruses/bronchitis/swine flu/the plague going around both on campus and at work, and I cannot afford to get sick right now.

To balance all this unpleasantness, I'm trying to write my own stuff (during class, oops! never hurt my GPA, though) and watch some new shows. Merlin's a nice dose of AWESOME every Saturday, and there's a few other shows I'm eying as well. Hmm.

SIX MORE WEEKS. Hopefully they won't all suck, since I'd like to be in a Christmas mood with plenty of time to listen to Christmas music (but not before Thanksgiving, since that's crazy retailer mentality).

Keep me sane, please? o.o
 

Hee, so we're having a Midnight Madness sale at the store next Saturday. :D And the best thing? WE GET TO WEAR PAJAMAS.

"Zombies in P.J.'s", anyone? XDXDXD

And, OMG, tonight's episode of Merlin was AMAZING. Seriously the best episode this season by far (and it amuses me to know that the same person who wrote this episode was the same guy who wrote episode 3, AKA the episode that made me really ship Merlin/Morgana. Hee!)
( Cut for spoilers of WIN~! )

AWW RIGHT. I could go to bed now, but we're going back to Standard Time-- fall back (unless you're in Eerie, in which case you'd better not or you'll wind up in the Lost Hour...) So I'm gonna use that extra hour. :)

First post on the new laptop! *pets it*

His name is Arthur, and he's a shiny beast. Totally worth the money. :D

It's so nice to be on a fast computer again.

And now, a meme (from eviinsanemonkey ):
1) Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/bands [fannish etc.] that you've had an obsessive fannish love or interest in at some time in your life.

2) Have your f-list guess your favourite character/member from each item.

3) When someone guesses correctly, strikethrough the item and put the name of your favorite character next to it.

( Fandoms under the cut... )

Have fun, guys.

Today is October 13, and that can only mean one thing.

I'M 21 TODAY! :D :D :D
It's the only birthday that really counts, after 18... And now I get to venture into the world of legal drinking.

*cough*Now write me some fic !*cough*

First: If you haven't replied to my Eerie!comment fic entry, DO IT.

Second: BOOK SQUEE! After a slew of announcements, 2010's gonna be an awesome year in books.
March 15: Fang (how creative, lol) comes out-- AKA Maximum Ride book 6. Ever since the atrocity that was book 4, I've been both excited and wary about other releases by JP, but Max, while ultra-corny, was leaps and bounds better. And the summary for this one actually sounds interesting.
May 4: The first book (!! didn't know it was gonna be a series!) in Rick Riordan's Egyptian mythology series~! I love Percy to death, so I already know this series is gonna be good.
July 13: The Atlantis Complex-- NEW ARTEMIS FOWL!!!! :D Can you tell I'm the most excited about this? I'm glad Eoin Colfer came back to this series much sooner than he said he would.
winter 2010: And finally, the next Camp Half-Blood series starts! I so hope it's either about Percy and Annabeth's kid, or he/she is involved somehow.

And if Genius Wars comes out next year, that'll be like icing on the proverbial cake. Mmm, cake. Also true if the final book in the Hunger Games trilogy comes out; I'm enjoying the series way more than I thought I would. 

Enough fangirling for one day... carry on.

I want some Eerie fic.

As in, not mine.

So, a proposal: comment fic. Comment to this post with a short Eerie fic, whatever it might be.

I JUST WANT SOMETHING TO READ, PEOPLE. I don't give a damn who you write about, what you write about (as long as it's Eerie), just DO IT.

...please?

:)

I love how half the Merlin fandom is totally incensed about the latest episode, and the other half is elated about it. I'm kind of in the middle, 'cause while the Arthur/Gwen is adorable (I can ship just about anyone on this show), I don't like that Arthur's character development from the end of last season was sacrificed for it. Yes, he and Merlin would still bicker--that's just how they are--, but he wouldn't treat Merlin like absolute shit the way he has in season 2 so far.

I'm just excited that we finally get a Morgana-centric episode this week. She's my favorite Merlin lady! :D

And now, while I should be doing homework, a meme instead.

Ask me a fandom and I will tell you:

+ OTP
+ Runner-up
+ Honorable mention(s)
+ Crack pairing(s)
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't

So I'm watching Scooby-Doo: The Mystery Begins right now, and it's AWESOME. Scooby-Doo was my first fandom love before anything-- before I knew what fandom was, before I knew about anime, and most importantly, before I was corrupted by the Internet. I even still have my stuffed Scooby. <3 Shaggy/Velma FTW!

*ahem*

ANYWAY. The real reason I'm here-- fic!

Title: Let It Burn
Fandom: Eerie, Indiana
Rating: PG
Pairing: kinda one sided Mars/Dash... but it's more preslash.
Summary: Someone doesn't want them to find the evidence. Someone's trying to keep them from the truth.
Disclaimer: Eerie's not mine-- surely you know this?
A/N: Future!timeline, set shortly after "Affected." Inspired by all the construction going down a few houses down from mine...

 

( Backhoes and chainsaws and flames, oh my! )

Short and sweet:
School this semester should be all right. Accounting, Editing, and Basic Drawing will all be easy (although Basic Drawing might be a bit time-consuming); Feature Writing will be okay once I get past the first article on such a ridiculous deadline, especially considering there are kids in there who have never even taken News Writing (!!!); and Research Design... eh, it'll work out as long as I don't procrastinate. My complaint? I don't like having class every day, since I'm so used to having Wednesday nights off. Ugh. Is it December yet?

Also, does anyone know where I can watch the first season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars? I've seen a few episodes that piqued my interest, but I can't find all the episodes in order (and I'd rather not buy the DVD until I know I like it enough). So, help if possible, please?

On a related note, I need to find some more stuff to watch. Maybe I'll finally get Banner of the Stars...

Firstly: I've discovered this week why I didn't go to school to be a teacher-- I simply hate teaching people things. Cashier-ing, for instance. My reasoning: if I understand something and someone else doesn't, I don't understand why they don't understand it, if that makes any sense. That, and my patience is very, very limited. Hence, if they ever want me to train another cashier, I'm gonna run screaming out the door. D:

Secondly (I don't care if that's not a word, it's my journal and I do what I want!): Alumni Band is on Friday! I am so ridiculously excited for this, because marching band is what made high school enjoyable for me. So every year I go back and harass the high school kids I still know (which is very few these days) while reliving my days of band geek glory. It's a shame that Jackie can't come home and do the whole shebang with me. :(

Thirdly: School starts next week, and I am ready to get my last year of school EVER over and done with. Won't miss it much-- college has pretty much bored me. That's what I get for living at home, I suppose.

Fourthly: Yes, I need to post pics of Merlin the kitty. I'm notorious for taking pics and never ever posting them.

Fifthly and lastly: A meme! Taken from froodle : Ask me my top 5 fandom whatevers, and I'll answer them all in a new post (be creative, I know you all can do it! <3)

ETA: Here's Mr. Merlin! :) Isn't he cute?
( So I'm not a total spammer, pic under the cut. )

Random update- GOOO!

-School starts soon, my last year EVER! I'm so excited to just get it over with. Sadly, my boyfriend's going to be at naval boot camp on my graduation, but at least he's taken the steps necessary for us to start a life together sooner rather than later. That'll be a hard adjustment for me (him being away that long), but it'll be worth it in the end. And who knows, maybe I'll get to live someplace nice- like Hawaii. XD

-I need to get back to working on something original, writing-wise. Ironically, I'll probably get more of that done during the school year; I think summer, with my added work hours, makes me lazy.

-Speaking of work, I now have new bosses; the store was sold a few months back. Fortunately, they seem to think I'm the greatest thing since sliced bread-- no, seriously. I pretty much get to do what I want anymore, which is awesome and makes going to work a whole lot more bearable. They're just sad that I can't work as much during school, to which I say, too bad. XD They'd probably love it if I stayed there forever, but I vow never to work in retail again after this. Too much hassle.

-Uh, so, I recently bought Liberty's Kids on DVD and have been watching pretty much that and only that as of late. Yes, it's a kids show, and yes, it's fantastically corny, but it is historically accurate. Benedict Arnold is such a prima donna. But Lafayette is awesome, and he totally was, as one soldier put it, "Washington's little French pet." I laughed so hard when I heard that. It's because of this show that I even have a remote interest in history, and pretty much only that time period.

-Still trying to work through a massive list of books I want to read; next up is Empire of Ivory, AKA Temeraire book 4. After I'm done with the series (there's a book 5 as well), I'm going to read The Hunger Games-- it's supposed to be good. But I'm more excited for Artemis Fowl #7, tenatively called The Atlantis Complex, according to Colfer's Twitter. There was supposed to be something like a 3-year wait after the last book, but I think Colfer just couldn't stay away from it. The Supernaturalist didn't need a sequel anyway- nothing could make up for that awful ending. :/

Think that's everything... better shut down the computer, since there's more storms coming. I <3 thunderstorms.
