For the first time in its entire run I am tempted to just not watch Idol for the rest of the season with no Bobby.
With all the posts popping up about Christmas cards lately I've been thinking hard about it, and I'm sorry, but this year I'm not doing cards. I can't afford it.
Terry Gilliam talks Harry Potter; I love on Terry Gilliam. Seriously, that is all so very true.

I have a few fan-written songs, like Lemon Demon's 'Snakes on a Plane', Dan Sehane's 'I'm Going to See Serenity', Escape Key's 'Mal's Song' and Star Wars by Moosebutter.

Once tagged by this entry, the assignment is to write a blog entry of some kind with six random facts about yourself. Then, pick six of your friends and tag them; no tag backs. This explanation should be included.
1. I hate small, underlit bathrooms. They're dingy and depressing and I hate them. The bathroom in my house is literally huge but I like it that way. I also prefer Japanese showers, which are the kind you detach from the wall and wash yourself with properly, and they have a different bath system which I like. I love Japanese bathrooms, actually.
2. I was just starting year 10 when my best friend at the time gave me the nickname Green Queen, because of my love of green. We were in the computer lab at my high school. I had no idea it would stick so well, I'd never really had a nickname before.
3. I am, for the most part, an extremely good judge of character. I formulate opinions of people very quickly, and while I'm open to having those opinions change, I'm usually right.
4. I can't remember a single moment in my life when I wasn't obsessed with something.

I'm terrible at hiding my feelings. Everybody, every single person I know well and a few I only know in passing, knows which guy I like. In spite of that I've been successfully lying to my family who I live with for the last two years. It feels awful.
Sometimes I envy how other people can show others how they feel. I'm extremely introverted when it comes to my own feelings. I rarely let people who are close to me see how I really feel about a lot of things, and sometimes this results with them hurting me unintentionally.
Oddly enough, I feel much more comfortable doing it here in cyberspace, in front of people who I know I won't have to look at straight in the face.
ANYWAY. Psychotic rambling ends there. XD

Well, showing how you feel cna be good and bad. I'm really bad at acting interested, or pretending to like people, or acting, for instance. And I often hurt other people unintentionally just by speaking my mind, without really thinking they should be hurt by it.

Terry Gilliam! aww I still wish he would direct one of the movies... *sigh*. I agree with him, the first two ones were not very good, but the third one still annoys me for stupid purist reasons and lack of explanations at the end of the story (I know many people who didn't understand it)
and the lack of Oliver Woodbut I liked the atmosphere and the directing and so on.haha long meme! I have plenty of things to do but instead I'm going to do that
you love and hate Supernatural? how come? (I've never watched it)
From:
no subject
I agree with so much of the sentiment Gilliam expressed in that interview. The third one changes things around, but as a film it's a much better achievement than any of the others.
Supernatural drives me crazy. It has the potential to be so much better than it is, which frustrates me. I love Dean and Sam, I love the actors, I love some of the ideas and the beautiful way it's shot, but then they go and do something genuinely stupid and make me mad again.
