I'm feeling optimistic, so I'll give this a shot. I'd particularly like Darren-related Top Fives, as I plan to do a massive Darren spam at some point in the near future (if my internet holds out).
Go vote in MTV's Harry Potter World Cup.
I applied at
hogwartsishome and have had a thus far universal response that I should be in Gryffindor. This is the suspicion I've had for a while, but I've always found it difficult to sort myself.

corellianjedi's I don't miss Harry Potter. I don't know if I can handle the fact that the next movie is the end.

Ask me my fannish [music, movie, television] Top Five. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! And I will answer them in a new post.

Guess who has two thumbs and a Starship poster signed by Nick Lang, Brian Holden, Brant Cox, JOE WALKER AND DARREN EVERETT CRISS?
THIS GIRL!
...you just have to imagine me pointing to myself, okay, I don't have any way to give you guys an actual picture.
Thank you,
godlizza! It's almost embarrassing, I go to cons all the time and this is the most excited I've ever been over an autograph in my life. It totally made my miserable, cold Thursday.
AND NOW WE DANCE!

You guys, you guys, I've figured it out: Starship is The Little Mermaid.

The mermaid/bug lives in world full of amazing things but wants to be human more than anything and spends all their time surrounded by human things. They fall in love with a dumb but pretty human whose life they saved, and then a rather large bad guy with too many legs comes along and sings a kick-ass baddie song and magics him/her into a human for their own twisted purposes. Blah blah blah death and destruction, the good guy almost-dies and transforms back into their original form. Sure, Ariel gets a slightly different ending from Bug, but Starkid weren't going to give up the opportunity for a gross interspecies make-out session. You've got Roach for Flounder in the cute animal sidekick stakes, and the Mosquito Brothers for Flotsam and Jetsam on the evil minion front, and the Queen vs. Triton as the initially controlling but ultimately supportive leader.
I Wanna Be = Part of Your World
Beauty = Under the Sea
The Way I Do = Kiss the Girl
Kick It Up a Notch = Poor Unfortunate Souls
I realise that it's hardly the first time this story has been done, but I felt like sharing this epiphany. Also, a movie review:

Working on Darren icons from the GQ shoot. Also, if you're an English Darren fan, he's doing a show. DON'T MISS OUT. I WOULD KILL TO GO. Not literally, of course. Unless you know of an opportunity. Just kidding.
Darren won AfterElton's Hot 100. I'm not surprised at all.

So I had a very Starkid weekend. I watched AVPM and then Starship and tonight I finished AVPS. I also watched a couple of movies, so reviews of the movies and Starship are below.

It's up, it's up, it's up!!
FIRST THING I am going to do when I get the internet at home in the next couple of days is watch this. OMG so excited!!
It's entirely possible that this is the hottest thing I've ever seen in my life. Having said that, I know we're all in agreement that Darren needs some sleep, but what gets me every time I see one of these performance videos is that it's not like Darren is just showing up to these events and performing. He's taken the time to learn the songs and probably write the arrangements himself, knowing Darren. So he's learned his own covers of all these songs as well as going to EVERYTHING (opening of an envelope, anyone?) and filming and getting ready for tour and, I don't know, probably writing for Starkid and everything. Seriously. Future robot. Only explanation.

Andy Serkis will be the second unit director on The Hobbit. Awwwwwwwwwwwwww.

LOOKS LIKE I HAVE A DEADLINE FOR GETTING INTERNET AT HOME YOU GUYS. OMG OMG SO EXCITED. STARSHIP!!
Darren's losing to Jensen in March Madness and the Jensen fans are being really offensive, which just plain sucks. I like Jensen.
