• 02:54 Damnit, why did I have to find out about the SP for the Zettai Kareshi drama? Now I can't stop crying. Crap. ;___; #
• 02:58 It's one of the only dramas that's ever made me really cry. Like, full on sobbing even. (The kisses in the drama suck, however. XD) #
• 18:16 Plot? What plot? (I'm sad the same inspiration that struck me for Echoes is absent. My muse doesn't like Christmas. D: ) #

...which is the BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIE EVER, and now my little sister and I are going to go watch tonight's Kendra.

Also, RIP Brittany Murphy.

The cards are going to be constructed tomorrow, and I really need to finish writing all these fics. Most of the pairings people wanted are pairings I've never written (and a handful that I don't even ship), so it's going to be a bit of a challenge. Once I'm sure everyone has gotten their cards, I'm going to post them here.

Also, my sister has stolen my ukulele, and I want to kill her.

Well...I got racked by the ginormous snowstorm and will be out of power until probably after Christmas, at least that's what the power company is saying. It's been out since around 8:30 Friday night, so I'm taking refuge at a friend's house so I can take showers and have a microwave and all that good stuff. See you guys when I get back.

...but I got pretty much nothing done. I went to the bookstore and bought Extras, even though I haven't finished Specials yet.

I'm re-watching Dollhouse right now, because it was SO awesome.

I think I'm going to work on my Snail Mail fics while I watch, so please, if you haven't, post your address and/or fic requests here.

I've already got one done. But it's only five words long, and it's for someone who has something else coming to them, because I know them IRL.

• 03:00 Avatar was AMAZING. I loved it and I'm usually never one for these type of movies. Another Jake to love. ;P #
• 03:03 Yep, I watched the midnight screening of Avatar at Downtown Disney. Lil bro dragged me and Dad along. Can't say I regret it. ;) #
• 03:05 It was a 3-hour movie though. Not that I noticed (or cared) during. ;P #
• 03:06 P.S. Twitter, I hate u for not working last night. #
• 03:21 Sleep. Sleep now would be good. #
• 12:07 4 new Crossfire pics - love the Clois one (from the kiss). Others are Lois, Lois & Oliver and Clark & Chloe #
• 12:09 Probably old news, but I just woke up. XD;; P.S. Better Z than C. :P That's how I'm looking at it. -shrugs- #
• 12:14 New Clois still from Crossfire. twitpic.com/u251c #
• 12:20 Lois, why so awesome? twitpic.com/u25yo #
• 12:31 If we don't have an extended scene of the Crossfire kiss on the S9 DVDs, I will throw a huge temper tantrum, and then retreat... #
• 12:33 ... into a corner and cry.  :( #
• 14:41 Ooooooohhhhh. I am displeased by that image. But I will not freak out about it. -goes back to holiday fics- #
• 16:20 Yeesh. Fandom gives me a headache. #
• 16:25 There was only one thing I didn't like about the promo and it actually wasn't the other kiss. #
• 16:27 Aside from the Clois, Lois/Zod, I liked the shot of the arrow hitting right next to Lois. It means she'll be woven into that SL as well. #
• 16:38 What? Toy Story - The Musical? LOL, now this, I have to see. (It's gonna be replacing Aladdin at the Hyperion Theatre in DCA park.) #
• 19:29 I. HATE. CROWDS. (Why am I going to SDCC again? :P) #
• 20:18 Holiday It's a Small World kinda rocks. A lot. twitpic.com/u4feb #
• 20:32 Why is the one lone Filipino girl situated next to the Little Mermaid, though? Inquiring minds want to know. (Or maybe just me.) #

Please tell me if i'm crazy, but how is it okay for my brother to pay NOTHING to live in our apartment for the past TWO months but he spends whatever money he makes at work on weed and he gets mad when I bring it up?

We found a sack of weed in his room along with rolling papers, a grinder, and a glass pipe (one of 2 that I know he has). So he gets home from work and starts throwing a freaking fit about how my sister went in his room and took his shit. Then he goes on this big tirade about how weed isn't bad and it should be legal and blah blah I really don't care. I've heard it all before. He's 19 years old and he has NO sense of responsibility. The law says it's illegal and he's already been arrested for it before (as in a cop found THREE OUNCES (felony) of it in his car) AND he just got a DUI which put our car insurance through the damn roof. Yet he's not paying ANYTHING to live here and I have NO money in my bank account now that bills and rent have been taken out to pay for this month. My account over-drafted TWICE.

Yeah, I am gonna get pissed when you aren't paying anything to live here but you're using all your money to go buy drugs and drug-related shit instead of pay anything to help me out with the bills. I'm not his mother and I will NEVER condone his weed-smoking. He's fucking kidding himself if he thinks his little argument about why weed isn't bad will stand up in a court room. They don't care. A cop and a judge won't care.

And he claims we are ruining his life? Okay. Sorry, but if you're gonna take money out of MY pocket to pay for your illegal drugs, then yeah, i'm gonna take your weed and not give it back. That's how it goes. I'm just so tired of the poor pitiful me bullshit. Yeah, my life sucks too. I lost my dad too. It wasn't just him. Yet he wants to play the victim and say life isn't fair and people should cut him a break yet there are people that have it SO much worse than we do it's not even funny.

I can only hope that in a few years he'll be a little more mature and realize what he's doing is completely wrong.

...besides watching my dogs, marathoning Will and Grace, and watching Dollhouse. (And, in re: Dollhouse, I know I say this every week but HOLY SHIT).

I got a card from Raven today. It was adorable. Thanks, bb. I really need to get onto making my cards, but I've been getting distracted by all things DVR.

...with the stuff I forgot to mention in my last entry.

I, as I had planned, dug my guitar out of the basement today, because I am/was hoping to start playing again. It felt SO weird. I haven't played it in about three years, so that's one part of it. It's a relatively small guitar, but, compared to my tiny ass soprano uke, it was HUGE. Plus, my fingers hurt from the metal strings, and I have to use a PICK! It's so weird, and, did I mention, BIG. The first few frets are twice the size of one of Kaylee's frets. It just has such a different feel to it. It also REALLY needs new strings.

As you know, I'm getting a new ukulele for Christmas, and I'm having a really hard time deciding what to name it.

Here are my options:
Liz Lemon: Because of my love of all things Tina Fey, but "Liz Lemon the ukulele" doesn't really have the best ring to it.
Penelope: After the main character of my NaNoWriMo novel (and The Big Bang Theory and Dr. Horrible)
Daphne: For no real reason, but one of my friends suggested it.

Anyway, I'm inserting a poll here, but, please note, that I will probably go with whatever the hell I want in the end. I just want to get a feel for what you guys think.

As part of my "it's break, so I can do some pleasure reading" celebration, I have decided to forgo The Lost Symbol and a pile of Kathy Reichs novels for the sake of reading novelizations of Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes. I really wish I was kidding, but I'm taking this pleasure reading thing seriously.

I also watched Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic this afternoon. My dad hated it; I loved it.

EDIT: LiveJournal really hates line breaks today for some reason.

...how much this whole "LJ coupon" thing pisses me off, because I have things to do, but still, WTF LiveJournal? I depend on that Give More promotion.

Anyway, today was good. I watched Sunshine Cleaning with the parentals, and we got some good movies at the video store (including THE WACKNESS!)

However, the most exciting thing (because I do find shit like this exciting) is that the pics of my TVD collection are now online! They are also...


( behind the cut )

And, if you haven't posted your address, do it, because I'm starting the cards tomorrow! POST YOUR ADDRESS HERE.

Okay, I need to go finish my AI Fic Exchange fic...that was due last night.

Alice & Hatter video made by me.

Program used: Sony Vegas 7

Today was so stressful and horrible. I had to be comforted by someone from my class. And go on a walk around the neighborhood at 2am.

It was so not me.

I realized when I was walking that a lot of the problems I have with other people are really my fault. I don't understand why I get so upset over things.

I made a sort of resolution today that I would start doing almost everything differently in my life. So things I naturally do, I will think twice about instead, and try to do the opposite of what I would naturally do.

So instead of venting so much on LJ, I am going to NOT. Even though it makes me feel better to tell someone, about my problems, I feel like it doesn't make me do anything about it. It's like the easy way out. I only do it because I can't help it. I just explode and have to say what my opinion is.

But what I should really be doing is not exploding. I should think of a solution to the problem and do what that is. I do a lot of stuff that is just habitual instead of helpful in my life. Things that make me feel better for an hour or a day, but not for years and years.

So it's not fair of me to blame other people for something that's my fault. Even if they did do things that were wrong too. I get in fights with people a lot. I always say that it was their fault and not mine. I still think it was, but that doesn't mean that I have to make everything so dramatic. I could take the high road and I never do. And by the high road I don't mean just pretending everything is fine. It's actually finding a way to accept or change the situation without being childish. So I'm going to start doing that. I think it will make me a lot happier if I'm less affected by what other people do.

And no one should have to hear me complain so much. And not do anything. It's really weird. And sort of like punishing people for being my friends.

I feel like my life used to be about having fun, or trying to have fun. I don't think I always took everything so seriously. I just don't realize I'm doing it until I read things I write and it's all so...intense. It's weird.

So I'm going to try harder to make having fun a focus in my life instead of just reacting to everything. LOL. I'm going home today for break. It's going to be really nice having a vacation from UPS and stress. I am really excited for Christmas and for having people in my house to spend time with 24/7. I miss my friends from UPS and Vancouver a lot, and I wish I could see them over the break. But I guess I'll just have to miss them for another month and then see them later.

I like going home because I often have fun doing things I used to like doing as a kid like crafts or cooking, or reading my favorite books. Even though all the stuff that I use is at UPS, it's like my room and all my stuff in my parents house is the old me, with all my old clothes and old books and things that I don't use all the time anymore. Now that I am sort of a new person with my current clothes, books and movies at UPS going back and seeing all my old stuff makes me feel like I'm able to relax with my younger self. It's fun! Tonight I am going to decorate the tree! Fun is so...fun!

• 17:08 It's the first time I ever read a comment where someone thinks TW is "too small". What? XD;; #
• 17:40 People were throwing around names for the casting of True Blood's Alcide, and TW's name came up. @drvr8 @Chrisluvstom @nadiacosta #
• 17:40 Aside from the fact that he has #Smallville anyway, I don't think he's right for Alcide either - but it has nothing to do with his height #
• 17:40 or not being "powerful enough". Seriously. Has no one seen this man? Lol. P.S. TB cast the OTH guy Joe Manganiello. He tried out for Zod. #
• 21:02 I forgot Ben Barnes was in Stardust. Ha. Love that movie, btw. #

...for Christmas. I haven't finished my aiholidaybash fic yet, but I'm going to take a long, hot bath first.

I re-shelved my TVDs today. All of them minus season three of How I Met Your Mother and season one of South Park are now alphabetized and shiny. I've got pictures, but I'm way too lazy to upload them right now. Let's just say the collection takes up eight and a half of the five shelves in my bookcase. Yeah, eight out of five.

I'm starting the card writing process tomorrow. And, I got a card from the wonderful Alex, who I got to see yesterday!

Okay, this would be a real entry, but I have a headache, and the only cure is a LONG bath with a good book. Later.

• 00:19 Transcribed the Damion quote from SHoE podcast 135 about CB and "charming" Zod. bit.ly/6mtfGR @SnapPop @GlobalGratitude #
• 01:28 Clana shot for Day 14 of the Advent Calendar. I would like this for Clois. Couple shots where they're actually in the same shoot and not #
• 01:29 photoshopped together. -still dislikes the S4 one- Anyways, the Clana shot... they're so young. And Clark is wearing yellow. I'm amused. #
• 18:24 Holy... crap. Now I'm going to be up all night. #
• 20:34 OMG, is that new footage of Ted's kids on HIMYM? Lol, finally! Love it. #

...but I still have to:
-Pack
-Clean
-Write my Philosophy paper

I also have to finish my fic for the aiholidaybash , which is due tomorrow. And I just remembered reel_idol , which is due on the 19th.

It's all good, though. I'm going to work on my Philosophy paper between HIMYM and TBBT. And I'm going to work on my fics tomorrow.

Anyway, I'm going to be starting cards and stuff on Wednesday, so post your address here.
And, if you're not cool with posting your address, just comment with a pairing, and I'll write you something anyway.

Also, NEIL GAIMAN WAS FANTASTIC. I'd post a really long re-cap, but I have that pesky Philosophy paper.

BTW, GARFUNKEL AND OATES ON LENO TONIGHT.

OH, AND, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESSICA!
