Dina's Journal

Augh I feel like a stalker.

I was curious about whether Bret and Jemaine (Flight of the Conchords) were still on tour. I looked around and finally found on a fansite that their US tour ended today. In California.

And the first thing that came to my head was "I know where they are."

Which is, you know. Scary. Cuz I live in the Midwest so it's not even like, I could go sit outside the theater or something. I just enjoy knowing where they are.







I have a problem.







....I wish I'd been more into them before they came here. Goddamnit.

I GANKED THIS FROM rascante . I wanted to try writing some Watchmen. I'll try Carnivale some other time.

SPOILERS. OBVIOUSLY.

Write ten words (or cheat and do a sentence) in each of the genres listed.

( Cut for sexy times, sad times, and spoiler times. )

I got my first first!

AND I GOT ANOTHER.

Ignoring the second, of course.


(no one knows what I'm talking about)

Scoreboard: 2 FIRSTS AT STATE


...


1 SECOND BUT THAT'S OKAY TOO

If I point out that the random singing in the Wake rp is akin to random furious masturbation and a quick climax in that it comes out of nowhere and while you may feel good while it happens, if anyone saw you'd be totally mortified....

....would everyone hate me or love me?

Hurm. Must investigate. Possibly post in crack community when its not so late and I can't think straight enough to log onto correct account.

I don't know why. But for some reason my computer seems to be freaking out. Or firefox is anyway.

For one, as I am typing this, for some reason the spellcheck in firefox thinks that the first three letters in the words "know" and "some" are misspelled (only the first three) and apparently its wrong to spell "out" with an o and u.

And I just clicked over to read Kaida's journal and for whatever reason was sent back to 2008. Uh yeah. So I spent a few nailbiting seconds wondering if I'd somehow gone back in time. Then I clicked the recent entries and was taken to the actual recent entries that should show up on the main page. But yeah.

Um.

Anyway, I feel like a creeper because I just decided to check out the person who's RPing as Rorschach on the Wake without introducing myself. She's into so many of the same things as I am but I am terrified to talk to her. Because what if she doesn't LIKE me?! What will I do then?! So I'm a weirdo. I really want to rp with her but she's so. much. better. than me. Gah.

Of course, I'm posting this openly so if she came to my journal she'd see this and I'd come off as a jerk.

I apologize in advance, if you are reading this. I'm just a bit of a nerd with the tendency to fangirl a bit too much. I'll try not to fangirl you. As much.

OH. And in case you didn't notice, I've really gotten into formatting my posts since starting the Wake. It's really obnoxious. I hope I stop. D=

I just received two emails- one from Reba and one from Steph- as replies to an email I did NOT send, with a link to something more than likely very very bad.

DO NOT CLICK THE LINK. I DIDN'T SEND THAT.

I apologize in advance for anything that might've occurred. Something must've gotten my email password. I've since changed it. Sorry guys.





Does anyone know what else I should do? I emailed everyone in my contact book to warn them. And for the people who didn't get anything, I probably sound like a jackass....actually I just checked my sent folder and it looks like those two were the only ones.


Ugh, I feel so used. =<

A. Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/etc that you've had an obsessive fannish love of at some time in your life.

1) Harry Potter
2) Wicked (Book)
3) Watchmen
4) Ouran High School Host Club
5) Abunai (YES I AM A FAN. XP)
6) Runaways
7) Inuyasha
8) Avatar the Last Airbender
9) Lost
10) How I Met Your Mother
11) X-Men

My, I've fangirled over many things. This probably isn't even close to everything. And after I'd finished the list it occurred to me that I should list the book and musical for Wicked separately.

I'M ADDING MORE TO THIS MEME: If you guess right (which given my openness to pairings, I may accept more than one answer, lol) you may request a drabble. =D

Feel free to take wild guesses at things, you'd be surprised what will be true. XD This would probably work better if I had more LJ friends. o_o

((This is set pre-Keene act.

Disclaimer: NO I do NOT own Watchmen.))

Archie's doors opened with a fanfare of sucking hydrolics and Dan inhaled the night air like a drowning man. After the hours they'd spent cooped up in the ship, he was grateful for fresh, unpolluted air. Rorschach was a swell guy, and a good teammate, but he could reek. And with the added heat and humidity of the Everglades, the masked vigilante had taken on the mildewy, rotting scent of a poorly tended bathroom.

Not that he could say for certain that he was totally odorless himself. The Owlship didn't have a shower, so after their investigation finally climaxed in an all out brawl hovering mere feet above the swamp, their only way of freshening up was the fluffy white towels Dan kept stashed in a hidden cupboard. The heroes were probably equally rank.

After a quick stop at the local authorities to assure them that they had things under control, the vigilantes headed home. The trip had been mostly silent (other than the periodic pained groans of their captive, which were usually silenced by a swift kick in the ribs from Rorschach) which was pretty much what he expected. Rorschach wasn't the chatty type and there really wasn't anything to say anyway.

Nite Owl set Archie down in the alley alongside the police station and the partners set to work. Between them they dragged the villain out the back of the ship and plopped him down next to their usuall method of delivery- a 'no parking' sign. The guy struggled a bit, but a solid whack over the head sent him unconcious again. Having tied him securely to the sign, the vigilantes disappeared into the night, back into the ship.

Without a word, Night Owl pointed them towards the warehouse, towards home. Again, nothing to say, no point in trying to make small talk, after all Rorschach never-

"Should've killed him."

Dan gave a bit of a start, "Uh...what?"

"Should've killed him. He's proven slippery. Might get away again."

Night Owl wasn't sure if he should find the situation funny, but he did, "Rorschach, the guy was trying to escape to Cuba. He was obviously pretty desparate, but not very smart. He's not going to be able to get out of a jail cell. The police will take care of him."

Rorschach grunted, clearly not convinced, but Nite Owl didn't feel like arguing anymore. There was no point. They were too different on this issue, and every time it came up, the result was the same. Dan just couldn't find it in himself to kill. And he was to scared to ask where Rorschach found it. Thus the silent gap between them remained unbreached. They journeyed home over the quiet city, glad for each other's company even as they ignored one another.

AAAAAH.

I really want to join the rp that Stephanie showed me. I've been lurking and the abundance of Transformer's characters turned me off at first but now it just amuses me. This rp seems a little less...serious than most of the others I've seen on LJ. And Rorschach is there now and if I had a better handle on Nite Owl's character, I would do everything in my power to make little black and white fluffy owl babies.

*cough*

But is there some character someone thinks I'd be better at writing? I guess I could try Nite Owl, I'd just be a little more scared about screwing up...but then again, there are insane robots everywhere, I don't know how serious this place is. o_o

Fandoms:

Watchmen
Doctor Who
Lost
Harry Potter
Ouran High School Host Club
Abunai/original character (it'd be harder to apply with an OC though)

...okay not really.

But I swear, I just used stumbleupon to find this! I didn't go looking for it! 

I hope the final line is a coincidence and there's no one following me. o_o





...anyway, it's an interesting article.

 1) Rorschach is at least infatuated with Dan. At least. And this isn't even necessarily a fanfiction thing alone. The lingering handshake says a lot about their relationship.

2) Rorschach is everyone's favorite. Fans and characters alike. He is the Wolverine of the Watchmen universe.

( /edit/ whoops, this was supposed to be under a cut, so now it is )

...Abunai. =DDDD

ALSO: No school tomorrow! Yay!

I hate how I've been so annoyed with my bro for hogging the computer but now that I'm on I'm so bored. I don't have anyone to talk toooo....

*breaks keyboard in half, then proceeds to repair it with duct tape*

AR%$^GH

Haha, haven't posted in a while. So, to follow up from the last post, yes, I did get in. Yay me.

Now I just have to keep my grades up.

Life's been busy with musical and show choir and such so I'm just getting slowed down again this week. My math teacher was gone all week though, so I got to just focus on the work at hand and get a little caught up. I also got to read, hooray.

Sleeping is the only thing I'm not getting caught up on, really.

I have to go shopping for two secret santa presents this weekend, and another present for my dad. I'm giving him a painting I did in art class but yeah, he should probably get something else, it isn't /that/ great. XP

Speaking of art class, why is that such a stressful thing for me? I know I've been stretched thin, but my overreactions and panic about it aren't normal. I think I need some time off. Oh, right, holidays. Good. XD

I think I just got my acceptance notice!

I say I think because it was an email with a video of a bunch of people going "congratulations" and ended with "congratulations on your acceptance" but I have yet to receive an official letter.

BUT YAY IF I REALLY DID. YOU KNOW.


=D =D =D =D =D

Or maybe it is. It depends on who you ask.

Yesterday we had a practice and we worked on a song we haven't gone through really seriously yet. I have the music and a CD to practice with at home, but since we hadn't gone through it with the director it seemed silly to try to work on it on my own- especially considering the rhythms.

Oh, the rhythms.

It's a syncopated rhythm which is just hard- I assumed it was hard for everyone. Apparantly not, since half way through our sectional someone just exploded and started bitching how we were singing straight rhythms. I'm pretty sure I was the only one who didn't get it.

I don't feel like I deserve to be in this "prestigious" group anymore. I feel like a loser who got in because she needed more sopranos. I feel like shit.

And on my college application, all I talked about was how proud I was to get in. Because that meant I was worth it. I guess not.

I don't know who to ask for help because everyone seemed so frustrated. I don't know.

I'm having a really hard time in Algebra II. But I'm managing, I guess. I have A's in all my other classes though. =/

Also, it just occurred to me how dangerous it is to list all of my classes in my earlier post. I making that friends only.



I want to write something. I'll write later. 





OH OH OH. GO WATCH "DR. HORRIBLE'S SING ALONG BLOG." DO IT DO IT DO IT DOIT!

So the other day a guy in my psychology class was asking people whether they heard about some chick getting stabbed with a needle that had a label that said "Welcome to the World of AIDS!"

But I knew better.

So I laid the FUCKING LAW DOWN.

I told him that was an urban legend and had been since the late nineties. I told him it was a horror story told out of ignorance and fear. I told him he should stop spreading this stupid goddamn story because the few cases of this actually happening were all proven either false or to be completely unrelated to what was described.

....


Actually I muttered about it sounding like an urban legend. And the guy told me to "eat his shit" and said he'd prove me wrong. Then he never found any proof on the computers (I checked later, just on the off chance that the urban legends had spawned actual attacks- they haven't). Most of my solid facts were found later, when I began to doubt whether I was totally right. But I was. I just didn't have the proof in my hands or the guts to debate my point.

I'm worried about school this term.

Sociology
Math 3 (Algebra 2 to most)
Choir
Psychology

+show choir and possibly one act and more than likely musical
