I AM PREPARING TO LAUNCH AN EXPEDITION TO KILL THE WRITERS OF TORCHWOOD IN VARIOUS SATISFYING AND/OR AMUSING WAYS, UNLESS THEY FUCKING FIX WHAT THEY JUST GODDAMN DID.

WHO'S WITH ME???

(Possibly even if they do fix it, because what else do they expect? Honestly.)

Um. UM!

Look. Look. I want this, right? I want it so, so much. But it's made in the UK, and a class I had last year said the US and the UK have different rates... or something. I mean the way their movies and television play. Frames Per Second, or some other number. DVDs made for the UK don't work on US players, and vice versa. Does anyone know how it might be possible for me to find out if this is available to people in the US?

TU£SDAY

Suzen and I have decided. First let me explain the process:  She said Gambit had, like 20 seconds in the new x-men movie, but she's looking forward to it anyway. I mentioned that they could just stand around doing manly mutant things for 3 hours, and I'd be happy. She suggested an ... improvement. In short, this movie needs to be made: 

Gambit and Wolverine Take a Shower

This. On the rare occasion I write, I do want it to have my own tone, but I want it to be flavored by this. Exactly this. It's beautiful. It's metaphors are unique and flowing and not overused, and the important things are described as if from the corner of your eye and are much more meaningful for it.

I'm contemplating trying to get a job with voices - commercials, voice overs, etc.

I enjoy reading out loud anyway, and I've been told I have a nice voice to listen to (mostly by my high school speech teacher and my mom, but still...). I recorded myself reading a DS9 story out loud on Media Encoder, and edited it with WavePad Sound Editor as I listened to it. I just did it for practice, to see what I needed to work on and how the editing program was different from what I used in class a semester or two ago.

I wouldn't know how to ask anyone this personally, but if anyone who reads this would like a story of theirs recorded, I'd be happy to do so. I mean, I really would. Maybe I should post this 'request' at doctor_tailor too...
 

		I will marry John Marcone.
		After a wild honeymoon, We will settle down in here in our fabulous House.
		We will have 0 kid(s) together.
		Our family will zoom around in a shiny Bird of Prey.
		I will spend my days as a lover, and live happily ever after.

Movies to look into: slumdog millionaire and milk

look into a trilogy by Bernard Cornwell

Okay. I just saw a YouTube video of people at what I assume was a wedding reception doing the Thriller dance, which, might I say, was a supreme example of good taste and fun to watch.

I don't particularly plan on getting married, but if I do I have an updated list of what I want at either the reception type thing or the wedding itself:

- Jello Wrestling
- The Thriller Dance

announced on two LJ communities on my friends list:

( Found this while wandering around someone's journal. I don't have my music at the moment, but I want to put this down for when I remember to do it. )

It's weird... mom comes home sometimes (like she just did) unhappy and bitching about everything. She goes off on how I never do anything and how I have such a hard life, even when I try to volunteer to do things, she keeps on. *takes a breath*

It's okay. I'm going to finish school soon. When I do, I have the qualifications to go job hunting. When I find one, I can look for a place to live. When I do that, I can be without the weird, obstinate moodiness and slightly scary bitching. Leaving the cats will be sad, though.

The Canterville Ghost, by Oscar Wilde

Yes, I  know this might be a bit dramatic and unnecessary. However.

I want to interact with someone (preferably someones) on a regular basis. There are people at school I'm friendly with, but not enough to hang out with them outside school. There's shannon who I talk to online, but we don't always talk a lot and she has a life, you know? And so is sometimes gone for a while.

The problem is that I have *no idea* how to do this. I mean... I don't want to go to a chatroom. Far, far too random. I'm all for randomness, but going to one of those will probably not introduce me to someone I'll want to "hang out" with on a regular basis.

I've had a vague urge to try role playing, but I don't think I know enough about the many, sometimes conflicting levels of the human psyche to imitate one. A character, I mean. A friend experienced in it was kind enough to rp with me a few years ago, and I took *way* too long to think of replies. I did make her laugh a few times, though. *pride*

Anyway. Yay for having an online journal to complain in. :)

The Line at the Bottom being, I want some friends, damn it. Universe, that's what I'm hoping for. Some friends and competent, patient, creative people to rp with.

Anyone seen this? Feel the desire to share your thoughts about it? 

It looks interesting - me being actually interested in watching a movie is pretty rare, but I saw a clip of Holden's speech from it and was... hmm, intrigued.

M M: You know what you should watch?
H B: What's that?
M M: Boa vs. Python
H B: Hehehe
H B: Is it sing-along-able?
M M: ... that would be...
M M: AWESOME.
M M: My God. It should be.

So? *snaps fingers* Come on, people more creative than I, get to it!

*grins*

It's often said that SGA produces some of the finest literary crack. Taking that into account, along with a YouTube video I've just seen and certain observations about the wardrobe of SGA characters, there are two AU's I'd very much like to see:

1. Pinky and the Brain (for more info, go to YouTube and search for "mcshep Pinky and the Brain")

2. Power Rangers (Have you noticed how Elizabeth almost always wears red, even off duty? In Redemption, Beckett's casual outfit includes something bearing a suspicious resemblance to his lab coat.)

3. The cast of Stargate: Atlantis in - The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I think Sheppard would look the best in Frankenfurter's outfit - this would, of course, necessitate a different ending. Ronon really has the physique for Rocky, I think.

  

1.) Own (or rent) a large, flying castle.
     a.) Figure out that bigger on the inside stuff. For the harem, you understand.

2.) Hear someone sing to me in German. Or hear someone sing in German in my general direction. Or in the same room.

3.) Read as much fan fiction as possible.

4.) Figure out what my other goals are. I know they're lurking in my brain somewhere.
      4a.) Find out how to avoid being an airhead.
      4b.) be more productive. (can also be phrased as, "stop being such a lazy bum")

5.) Read Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan series, re-read that one book in the series too because it was fantastic. Look into Diane Setterfield's The Thirteenth Tale and Stacey Richter's Twin Study.

6.) See the following in stories:
       - Rodney/Vala friendship

7.) [rather important]  Be a cause of Shannon loving SGA. Then she can read 'Infinity' by Wintertime on Wraithbait. Which I so totally rec, by the way. Blew my mind upside-down and sideways.

And she can watch it... and she can be addicted... share my addiction! MUA-HA HA!

*clears throat*

Yes. Well. Moving on.

- - (She does! *does a dance* I should so totally have a party for that. This is an occasion so exciting that it merits the use of the phrase, so totally. She hasn't read the story yet, but I think it's too early yet for that. She doesn't even have to. The fact that she's getting to like it ... thrills me.)

8.) Find more of that weirdly rare, thick crusted brand of pop tarts that apparently can only be found once, brown sugar flavored, the supply of which can be controlled with my mind.

9.) Thicker hair. At least 2/3rds as thick as I remember it being. That would be nice.

10.) Machine. Dishwasher.

- - Got one, but it has to be hooked up to the sink which is very nearly impossible. It's become mom's job, as she can actually get it to work.

11.) A computer of some kind which is completely devoted to Sims.

-- Well, I've got Sims, now I have to make my computer's memory bigger or something and/or get everything else off it.

12.) A robot which does all my work for me.

-- That would be unfair to the robot, wouldn't it? Think I'd rather just get rich and pay someone.

13.) Get a Good Omens movie made. Somehow. There's one that is permanently stuck in production because of costs, but that's probably just as well since I think they're the people who told the authors that the screenplay was too much like the book. People are morons.

14.) Get the amount of income that allows me to have a chauffeur. I don't even want to be in the same car with me when I drive, sometimes. Also, people are morons (as stated above). It's possible for people to be even bigger morons than me when it comes to driving (I discovered today, Tuesday the 22nd of April '08), which is... wow, impressive.
                14a) PAY ATTENTION to the cars around mine, for God's sake.

15.) Be able to play Sims with Shannon - you know, me having sims, her having some, and playing in different places but our characters interacting, with a side screen. Holy crap, that'd be so cool. 

16.) Human. Hamster. Ball.
