Alyssa found a David Wenham (Faramir) fanlist, and we both joined because David is, well.... Rar.

Well, blue has been at Great America all day and may not even be able to come online tonight. Choi is on her way to Ireland. She got on the computer at the airport and paid $8 to talk to us for about 45 minutes. Awww, Choi! We won't talk to her again for a week. =( Sadness!

Go join this Han Solo fanlist! Now, I say! :-)

Could someone just, erm..... I dunno.... hold up a big sign that tells me what to do? Or possibly send me a ticket to a remote desert island with lots of books, an internet connection, and a cat?

I would like to share a passage from the Blue Board Jam that is particularly meaningful to me. This fine post was penned (or typed or whatever) by blue. =)---------
Blue jumped before Evergreen and Poet Guy, "Stop you ill-roasted snake eggs! There's enough DeeDee to go around!"
"Yeah!" squeaked Dee from the vicinity of the floor. She crawled on top of a gum wrapper, trying to be heard amongst the din.
"Erm... Wait a minute... There might not even be enough for one guy," blue rubbed her chin thoughtfully, before stepping out of the way of the feud, "Carry on then gentlemen."
"Blue!" shouted DeeDee, crossing her arms and frowning, "They can't fight! Stop them!"
"Why do I have to stop them?" blue whined, glancing back at Orli, who was staring at his bracelet and cooing happily, "Do you see what's over there waiting for me? Do you see?!"
"Yeah? Do you see what I have over here?" DeeDee gestured to Viggo and Evergreen.
Blue stared at Evergreen, drooling, "Yousa point is well seen... What must I do?"
"Are you thinking about putting the moves on my darling Greenie?" Dee demanded, shaking her tiny fist with the quickness, "Cuz if you are..."
"Whoa whoa whoa, calm down there little Suzie," blue stepped back, not about to suffer the wrath of Dee's midget Tae-bo, "Put those things away and let's stop this fussin' and a feudin'."
Viggo raised his sword over his head, preparing to strike Evergreen down, "Haha! Now who's shibbier Prof. Weaky!"
"That was lame you one-eyed arctic turkey shaving poet!" shouted Evergreen, taking out his umbrella and dodging Viggo's attack with mad skills, "Did I mention that I was the fencing captain at Harvard for 6 consecutive years? Oops, guess I didn't."
"Rarrr!" Viggo thrust the sword at Evergreen's tummy wummy, but the good professor nimbly dodged it, even having enough time to tie his shoes and recite a love poem to DeeDee.
"Judging from the sheer length of your pit stains, I'd have to say that you don't do this often. And you're quite Unsure!" Evergreen parried and danced like a musketeer, taunting Viggo with Shakespearian insults between attacks, "Loggerheaded flap-mouthed hugger-mugger! Craven fat-kidneyed bum-bailey! Saucy beef-witted strumpet sniffer!"
Blue and Dee rolled on the ground with laughter. Who would have thought that Evergreen could be so damn cool and funny?
"Aw! Insult him again Prof! You're a riot!" called blue, clutching her stomach, trying to breathe.
Evergreen winked roguishly, "Beslubbering sheep-biting pignut!"
This time, however, Viggo tossed the useless sword down and ran forward, ready to make Prof. Green black and blue, "I'll squash you good!"
"No, I'm afraid you won't sweet Vig," laughed Evergreen, tripping him smoothly with his umbrella. He then poked the now felled Viggo in the ass with the pointy umbrella tip, "I believe I've won this round, and you owe me a new pen good sir."
DeeDee ran forward, embracing her professor, "You're the best!"---------
In other pointless news, I think slashfic is gross, but this quiz was too funny.

I love romances where the hero and heroine take forever to get together. I don't mean a few years covered in one chapter, or the length of a movie. I mean romances where you have to read more than one book, and you're close to going crazy with frustration, and then when your patience is finally rewarded, you have no choice but to read the whole thing again. Here, for your edification and the ease of my boredom, are my favorite love stories that offer hours of aaaarg!! and one big wooohooooooo!1) Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe (L.M. Montgomery)
It takes Anne several years even to speak to Gilbert, and another six or seven to realize that she loves him.
Aaaaaaarg!! - Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea
Payoff - Anne of the Island2) Harriet Vane and Peter Wimsey (Dorothy L. Sayers)
They take several years and three books to get together, and I loved it every step of the way.
Aaaaaaarg!! - Strong Poison, Have His Carcase
Payoff - Gaudy Night
Bonus Payoff - Busman's Honeymoon3) Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley (J.K. Rowling)
Four books and counting....
Aaaaaaarg!! - Harry Potter 1-4
Payoff - It will happen. Oh yes!I also love romances where the hero and heroine never get together. Where tons of frustration is only rewarded with.... more frustration!
1) Eowyn and Aragorn (The Lord of the Rings) - shocking, I know.
2) Shu Lien and Li Mu Bai (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) - gorgeous and sad.
3) Princess Ann and Joe Bradley (Roman Holiday) - this movie makes me so mad, and I love it.Finally, I love hate-at-first-sight!
1) Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy (Pride and Prejudice) - the classic, the best!
2) Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe (Anne books) - the second-best! bonus points because they take three books!
3) Beatrice and Benedick (Much Ado About Nothing) - they're so mean it's funny, and then so sweet it's... sweet.

Grrrr... I keep going to sleep at night. This has to stop! =( I hate waking up in the early morning and going to sleep early at night. It just isn't natural! I'll have to make myself stay up all night tonight so I can get back on my normal schedule. In other news, I'm not sure about that boot job. They won't take my outfit out of my first paycheck, and I obviously don't have the money to buy boots, jeans, and shirts. I have until Monday; I guess they expect me to find a money tree in the back of my closet. On the good side, though, that gives me more time to get the bookstore job! *crosses fingers* Got this from Shannon's blog.

Eeek, "Angst" is getting really sad, as its angsty title would suggest. Go see Alyssa's new Faramir layout. Raaarrr! And now I'm off to sign myself over to the boot store. lol This pointless post has been brought to you by a can of root beer and about 17 tictacs.
2:26 PM |
Well, I have news that is both wonderful and awful. The boot store just called me and offered me the job, 40 hours a week. I can't refuse it. So I'm going over there this afternoon to sign a contract and agree to wear... *gulp*.... cowboy boots to work and listen to country music all day. Hopefully the Evergreen/Rivendell sign will be a small comfort. But anyway... *waves farewell to bookstore job*

Moll made me an Aragorn snowman, which I have most lovingly adopted!! *hugs Moll* I looooove it!! And look at Shannon's great illustration of the epic fight between Viggo and Professor Green.... for me! =)
8:45 PM |
I wish I had known on the morning of April 15 that I wouldn't be seeing my family for at least four months. And I wish one of these dumb businesses would call me back. Days till rent is due: 9. Chance that DeeDee will have it: 0. I'm sorry! Everyone run from my blog, quick!

I've recently been thinking about people who deserve Oscars and have never received them, so here are my top 10. When I start running the Academy next year, the following people will receive awards:1. Cate Blanchett -- Oscar and Lucinda. Elizabeth. Umm, yeah, that's about all that needs to be said.
2. Viggo Mortensen -- He's amazing. I don't just like him for his looks, poetry, and art, y'know. ;-)
3. Kate Winslet -- The youngest woman to be nominated for three Oscars. It's time, folks.
4. Ang Lee -- His first English movie was a Jane Austen film that was nominated for 7 Oscars. Then he did The Ice Storm. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Give the man an Oscar!
5. Elijah Wood -- An incredible child actor who turned into an incredible adult actor.
6. Christian Bale -- From adorable Laurie in Little Women to that freaky American Psycho. Thank you, Mr. Bale, here's your Oscar!
7. Sean Penn -- Um yeah, Dead Man Walking. And oh yeah, all those movies he wrote and directed.
8. Jeremy Northam -- Subtle and great. *runs away with Mr. Knightley*
9. Ralph Fiennes -- From the sadistic Nazi in Schindler's List to gentle Oscar Hopkins. He's remarkable.
10. Cate Blanchett -- She deserves more than one.
All of the above would like to thank their managers. Thank you, and good night.

Shannon made me a Viggo doll! It's over on the right. =)

Sadness... where is everyone?? I guess I'll take a little nap, and hopefully someone will be here when I get back. :-/

Whew! The "pre-employment test" was a written test on simple math and verbal skills. I got there, and I was sooo nervous, and the guy said it was a written test. I was about to pass out from relief. lmao.... anyway. He said he'd call me in the next day or two to set up a second interview with the main manager. Man, I hope I can get this bookstore job. It's fewer hours than the boot store, but hmmm... I would so much rather hang around books all day than wear cowboy boots and listen to country music -- the Evergreen/Rivendell sign notwithstanding. I just hope one of these places hires me soon. My rent's due in 10 days. *stressful sigh*I just talked to my mom, and she told me that my 13-year-old sister Emma got poison ivy really bad. Her face is all swollen up, she can hardly open her eyes, and she had to go to the doctor for a shot. Poor thing! :'-(
I took this LotR character quiz, and I got: 1) Eomer 2) Eowyn 3) Pippin 4) Faramir 5) Aragorn. Spiffy. And since I was beginning to lose track of all these quiz things, I made myself a page of all my pointless quiz results. The link is also now at the top of the blog. =)

Eeeeek, I am feart! I just got back from the bookstore interview, which went fine. I actually enjoy job interviews; I think they're kind of fun. But he asked me to come back at 6:00 for "pre-employment testing," and he didn't even tell me what that involved. If it's fiddling around on a cash register, I'll be fine. But what if I have to do role-playing scenarios with mad customers, or frustrating coworkers, or something like that? I'm terrified of that kind of thing! Eeeek, I only have an hour before we have to drive back! *feart*On a lighter note, I saw the new LotR art book, and it is gorgeous! Me want.
4:37 PM |
Just joined Lily's lovely new fanlist for Barliman Butterbur! And Professor Green is back! :-D
8:39 AM |
Wooo! It's thundering like crazy outside. I love storms! We hardly ever get them here, so this is nice. I also adopted a little Rainbow Brite dolly; she's over on the right. =) Now if I could just find a Viggo.... hee hee....
