This concludes another one of those "Why did you just waste x minutes of your life reading it" Me Posts. XD

OH YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE. I PEELED A MILLION APPLES AND MY MOM MADE TWO APPLE PIES. THEY'RE AMAZING. HOMG. PIIIIIIE. *DIES HAPPY NOW*

Ummm, my roommates and two high school friends and I had a totally-super-awesome pre-Thanksgiving last night. It was excellentastic; we had chicken and mashed potatoes and fried rice and corn and homemade salsa and salad and then cookies and ice cream and a fruit plate and amazing pumpkin bread. MAN, I ATE SO MUCH. :D Good practice stretching my stomach out for real!Thanksgiving next week. XD

I pity my international darlings who don't have a holiday dedicated to being happy about your life and then eating until you think you're going to blow up. ;_____;

Anyway, there were a lot of card games and a lot of fits of hysterical laughter, and it was all very enjoyable. :D

While we were doing the cooking, though, it was rather difficult to forget the intense verge-of-riot behavior going on up the hill. )

Meet my new favorite song. Like. Listening to it on YouTube on repeat, going to gank it illegally the second I'm home for Thanksgiving favorite. Like, heard a cover in Walgreens today and jotted a few lyrics down in a draft text messages so that I wouldn't forget to look it up favorite.

For the next three minutes, I love everything. :D

lol FF.net has been tripped-out all day, which was fun while I was answering four or five dozen reviews from the last two weeks. And which is fun now, when it won't send out alerts for the new chapter of The Hunt! XD

There's also a snippet of Donna fic.

And every time I watch "Supernatural," I realize why so many of you are totally into it, lol. I just saw this week's with my mom and my sister. EPIC. XD

Here are some amusing typos and a mom!quote for your edification. )

Umm. Yeah. Some of you are going through tough shit right now, and here's hoping one more time that things work out okay. ♥

Today was too long and too complicated, and at the end, I forgot to get a new gallon of milk. TEH FAILZ.

So instead of getting shit done tonight, I spent the time watching Doctor Who-related items on YouTube. 8D

The interested should proceed. )

Oh, and -- this MLIA gets SO many geek points. XD

But first... I ♥ veterans and current members of the armed services. They have my gratitude and respect. ♥

And I do not ♥ Yahoo! articles that remark, "You might not know why Veterans Day is on the eleventh... but there was this war once, and then there was this thing called Armistice Day!"

...like... really? People should not be allowed to graduate high school if they don't know about flipping WORLD WAR I.

Ahem.

So... tonight turned out really good for a lot of reasons. Primary among these was the fact that I decided that, after paying two hundred dollars to send my GRE scores to my other ten schools, I was entitled not to do shit (excepting a little bit of homework... goody-two-shoes, me?) for the rest of the evening.

MORE SPECIFIC REASONS. )

The power of knowing your audience:

My mother, referring to some actor: ...with Katherine Heigl.
My step-dad: Which one's Katherine Heigl?
My mother: "Grey's Anatomy"?
My step-dad: ...
My mother: Oh -- she was Steven Seagal's daughter in that movie with the train.
My step-dad: OH, her!

...

I'm considering posting really old fic. Like, from June. ARCHAIC.

And not particularly good. XD

I love this commercial.

I can't wait to use this.

The dude on "White Collar" is far too pretty, and they dress him up nice all the time. Mmmmm. Show's okay on its own, but... MMMMM. :d

ALSO. A package came from [info]sabriel75, and... FJAKJLFDSKJ, thank you so, so much, as always!! ♥ You give the greatest care packages ever, trufax. Opening them is like cracking the lid on a treasure chest, and it's so wonderful there aren't proper words. :3 ♥

I spent pretty much the entirety of today starting applications to just over half of my schools, since you can make an account, then save your progress and come back. omg. So many schools. So many things to fill out. So much Crap I need to do a third rewrite of my Statement of Academic Purpose. @_@

I definitely slept for eleven hours last night, which probably has something to do with how vaguely hazy today has been...

Who icons?

Apparently, my unconscious mind believes that Australia is a land of craggy scenery where herds of migratory wildebeest roam.

In other words, I had a dream where I was visiting Jenwryn. Sort of. )

In other news... )

Also, tomorrow, I'm jetting off to [info]eltea's again, so... expect the first chapter of "The Hunt" (I FOUND A WAY TO GET A CHARACTER I WANTED TO INTO CHAPTER FIVE HAHAHA I WIN) and Halloween costume pictures Saturday, but other than that, I'll catch up with you guys properly on Sunday when I get back. :)

I think I'm postponing my Whopost until next week. Plz to be bearing with me plz? XD

...lol postponing a post lol. I didn't even do that on purpose. XDDD

INTOXICATED, for [info]icequeenrex, Matt/Mello, Light/L, Mikami/Gevanni/Near.

Also known as the reason that two free hours from my canceled Theater 11 class did not result in my getting my Statement of Academic Purpose rewritten, also known as the reason my day epic failed and nosedived and has been added to the list of WOW I SUCK. So if you have any interest (and, y'know, time to get through 10,600 words), you should read it, if only to validate my stupidity. >_>

MLIA pick I and MLIA pick II. XD

omgsrsly. Mika. Makes my life. So much more awesome. It's just tragic that I won't be able to synch my iPod to have this stuff for another two weeks. I'm already totally in love with it. XD

But seriously. Pick Up Off the Floor and Dr. John. SERIOUSLY.

Anyway... )

All I managed to get done today was my homework, and barely that.

I started a new fic.

I... am not a very clever girl.

I can (unsteadily) use the past tense in Swedish as of måndag, and tonight's rehearsal showed marked improvements. I went to Safeway. I wrote crappily. I am boring, so I present you with another ganked Who GIF:

Stepdad: [Reasonable Answer.]
Me: Malfoy Lane.


tierfal (5:09:02 PM): My mom was asking my sister if she'd heard anything about swine flu at high school.
tierfal (5:09:05 PM): Swine flu.
tierfal (5:09:06 PM): Confirms.
tierfal (5:09:09 PM): That MEN ARE PIGS.


Also, THISSSSSS. XD


Also, LOL SO HARD I didn't tell you guys -- so my 100%-Chinese stepdad has always had this running joke about how he's adopted, and in recent months, it's become a joke specifically about his "Sioux heritage." XD (I call him Chief Rests With His Eyes Closed and Snores.) OH BUT THEN he and my mother realized... his birthday is December 21st, and he'll be turning 50 in 2012.

He's Mayan. And he is causing the END of the WORLD.
