Veth's Journal

Hello to new friends atrypical, ember_reignited, graceful_vanity, katkatrahrahrah, meganubunny, and millimole! Make yourselves at home~

TO EVERYONE ELSE (and to you guys too in future), I am sorry for not posting on here/responding to memes/doing much except the occasional comment a lot lately. :( Part of it is that I have had way too much homework, but part of it is that I am just very terrible at sitting down and writing things. I am so sorry. x_x

I have not forgotten those memes, though. Even the ones from a while back. I will respond to them if it kills me and I will post here when I do. But... just please consider this an apology to everyone for not being a good internet friend. I am really sorry.

So now of course I will do a meme real quick. ( Flickr meme whee )

Now that that is done I will talk about my life briefly. Was back at home for break. It was fun. I got to see most of my friends for the first time since I left, read Sondheim's book (which was wonderful), and saw Deathly Hallows Part 1. Now I am back at school and it is less fun. D: Have to write something currently, putting it off, the usual. At least I will be home for break in a month.

Although! That Midsummer Night's Dream adaptation I was talking about a few months back? I finally finished it! :D :D :D I know some people or other expressed interest in seeing it when it was done, so once I make the edits I may post it here. All 27 pages of it. .___.;;

Yet another meme, because I have no life, and also apparently never update LJ anymore.

RULES: Comment and I'll LJ stalk you to find THREE FANDOMS you apparently love. And then you answer these questions about them!

01: What got you into this fandom in the first place?
02: Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
03: Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
04: Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
05: Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?

( TMBG are apparently a fandom now. :P )

And, as is traditional, I conclude with something totally irrelevant:
"In the Watchmen: The End is Nigh game, the NPC thugs taunt Nite Owl by referring to Rorschach as 'your little girlfriend.'"
HAVE I EVER MENTIONED HOW HARD I SHIP DAN/RORSCHACH YOU GUISE @_@

P.S. PLAY DISGAEA.

You know, I've never really held my childhood sacred. So when people do things like Rule 34 Pokémon or whatever, that doesn't bother me. But finding out that Abraham Lincoln thought blacks were inferior to whites? That's really depressing. D:

Also, I know I'm really late to the party with this like with everything else, but new fandom: Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Go, watch. It's short - only three acts - and really awesome. Great music, great acting, heck, it's Joss Whedon. You really don't need any other reason to see it.

And now I'll do a meme.

(Stolen from athousandwinds, who I found... man, I don't even remember.)

List 12 characters from different fandoms first. (No cheating!) Then answer the questions under the cut.

1. Szayel Aporro Granz (Bleach)
2. The Joker (The Dark Knight)
3. Darth Maul (Star Wars)
4. Mello (Death Note)
5. Rock Lee (Naruto)
6. Lloyd Asplund (Code Geass)
7. Rick Murray (Degrassi)
8. Kirby (Kirby)
9. Desmond Hume (Lost)
10. Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter)
11. Phoenix Wright (Phoenix Wright)
12. Hal "Otacon" Emmerich (Metal Gear Solid)

( The questions under the cut )

Be warned: I've found a community (fandom_memes) full of these things, so don't be surprised if you get spammed by them over the next while.

( BOSTON )

Overall, I don't think I had quite as much fun as last year, but that may just be because the novelty's worn off somewhat. :( But not quite as much as really really awesome is...still pretty darn awesome. :D

For those of you who somehow haven't heard yet:

DUMBLEDORE IS GAY.

Thank you, Jo. Thank you.

( Spoilers for about page 2 of DH, but some people are sensitive... )

Also, finally got around to watching "Goths" two days ago. Grishnack is love, and that is all. Although one wonders why he's named himself after an orc (Grishnákh) - they're not particularly goth, are they? (Further research has shown that he may have taken the name from one "Count Grishnackh", a musician, murderer and racist. I hope it's the former.)

Also, today is yesterday was (the historical) Macbeth's 950th deathday. Keep it real, Mac.

And now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to go watch The Office. I mean, eat dinner. Then watch The Office. ("Well, have a nap...THEN fire ze missiles!")

Considering I'll probably be too wrapped up in Deathly Hallows to post anything for the next while, I'm taking this opportunity to tell you that tomorrow I'm going to camp for the next three weeks. There are computers there, so I probably will be able to update intermittently, but just so you know where I am. :)

"There's A Fine, Fine Line" is a really haunting song. Maybe it's just the way that girl sang it, but it darn near made me cry. Sheesh.

And without further ado...

The Sorting Hat Meme
"Which Hogwarts house do I belong in and why?"
-comment with your username (or be thwacked)
-link your thread in your journal and let your friends play Sorting Hat!
-then find your friends' threads and tell them which house they belong in and why, as well.
(stoled from Ender)

(We're doing something with a dialysis tube in science.)
Teacher: Who here has heard the word "dialysis" before?
*a bunch of hands go up, including mine*
Teacher: What was the context?
Me: *breaking into song* "Don't be offended by my frank analysis, think of it as personality dialysis..."
Everyone: ...
Me: ...yeah...shutting up.

Next step, dancing on the cafeteria tables.

In other news, I should probably be doing my homework for science.

In other other news, THERE'S AN OFFICIAL PUBLICATION DATE FOR BOOK 7. ( Cut for those who want to be surprised ) :D

(Yes, I am aware that no one in my English class reads this LJ.)

Every time you pronounce a character's name wrong, A KITTEN DIES. Or at least some of my brain cells. Seriously, is it that hard to look them up in the pronunciation key at the back? If I hear "Serkie" for Circe one more time (I don't care how much you like Andy Serkis), I may have to hurt something. And I'm not even going to touch the horrendous job you did with Scylla and Charybdis...but getting their genders wrong, WTH? I can see maybe doing that with Charybdis, because, y'know, she's a whirlpool, but Scylla at least has a recognizable gender, and you could have just called them "it". I would have been okay with that. But they are not MALE, capisce?

On a completely unrelated note...

"They randomly stepped out of the common room only to be intercepted by the evil Lotions master,Professor Snap."

If you thought that was funny, for the love of all that is shiny, getcher butt over to babb_chronicles. Some stuff in there is, how shall we say, not worksafe, but you can ignore it easily enough. And don't forget to read the comments, as that's where the best stuff happens.
