[i]atalantapendrag: I can has awake?

Going downtown to get my cutting touched up today, so I can't sleep until 7 pm again. Caffiene should happen soon. Go downtown, get protein-rich lunch (I'm thinkin' a gyro at Cozzoli's), go to the post office, walk down to Industrial Primitives and get sliced, and if I feel up to it, go to the grocery store for a few things after.

A few words on the book I just read, because I got it from [info]simon_saysuk! First, I really suck at reviews of any sort. Really, really suck at it. But the matter at hand: Generation Dead, by Daniel Waters. It can be neatly summed up as an afterschool special with zombies. Basically, for no reason that is ever explained, American teenagers are coming back from the dead, and they're the newest oppressed minority. This comes off a little heavy-handed at times, thus the whole 'afterschool special' vibe. But it's an enjoyable book, with characters that ring true (both the alive and the 'differently biotic'). There's a dead boy who goes out for the football team, the gothy (living) girl who goes out with him, and the story kind of spirals outward from them. It's not life-changing and I don't expect it to have a fandom, but I was pleased to see that a sequel is due to be released in May. It's an engaging read, and Circe is currently informing me that it makes an excellent cat pillow.

[i]cute_overload: Work That Mistletoe, Sister!

All right, ladies!  The Yuletide season is upon us, and that means plenty of holiday parties with cute guys, dark hallways — and lots and lots of mistletoe!  Keep your lips lively this Christmas with these time-honored mistle-tips:

  • Be casual.  Don't stand directly under the mistletoe; that looks desperate.  Stand just enough to one side so that you look like you just happen to be there.
  • Adopt a mysterious, far-away gaze, as if you were standing alone on a moonlit shore, yearning for your lover on the far horizon.
  • Purse your lips ever so slightly — not too much to be obvious, but enough to encourage him to make that first move.

CORRECT TECHNIQUE:

Take me now, and we will fly as one to a realm of bliss and enchantment.

INCORRECT TECHNIQUE:

HHHHEEEEEYYY, SUGAR BUNS -- WANNA SUCK FACE?

Thanks to the oh-so-kissable Ash for the instructional photos.

[i]bam posting in [i]addme: i haven't done one of these in ages.

NAME: Rissa
AGE: 26
INTERESTS; I love a lot of things, but mainly you'll find me obsessing over a few TV shows such as Queer As Folk, Dead Like Me, Degrassi, Drake & Josh, and South Of Nowhere. I also love Bam Margera, and CKY... but not because of eachother. I also love Simple Plan. They've been my favourite band since forever ago, and I've seen them about 20 times now in concert and I travel to Canada to see them often! I love to travel and go to concerts. I also really really like Cobra Starship. And new recent obsession is Hey Monday. I love girls as lead singers in bands, but I don't like Paramore all that much--shhhhhh! Ummm, let's see what else? I love Drake Bell like more than life sometimes. I want to marry him, and I really shouldn't say that, but it's the truth. Hahaha, but no really I shouldn't, I'm actually a lesbian, who just so happens to have the hugest crush on Drake. But uhh anyway, that's all my interest - or well what is important to me. Oh and we can't forget - yes, I am one of those people that is interested in Twilight, and yes I am quite obsessed! ;-)
HOBBIES; I love to write! I also love to create graphics and animated .gifs! I don't really have any other hobbies unless you consider website design one of them and the fact that I really love to play soccer and I can't because I never have time or the money to join a league. :(
LOOKING FOR; I'm just looking for new friends because...it's cool. I love to comment people and I love when people share the same interests as me. If you think I'm cool then I'll always end up thinking you're cool of course.
ANYTHING ELSE; Definitely add me, I'm really looking forward to making new friends for the holiday season and into the new year!!

I have searched

Am I doomed to walk my path in solitude?

"Daaahling, what do you think?  I was so weary of blending in, and Mr. Rudolfo says the orange highlights are the perfect complement to my bone structure.  When he's right, he's right — I feel faaaaaaabulous!"

... and I even got tinted lenses to match, aren't they divine?

You guys have heard me rant and rave about my unhealthy love of Diana Gabaldon and her books before -- her first book, OUTLANDER, is my all time favorite, and her hero, James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser my all time favorite hero -- after Angel, of course, but it's a tight race. Anyway. She is one HELL of a storyteller. Nobody else could ever get me to read the heavy duty historical fiction her books sometimes contain. This entry from her blog might give you an idea why.

Not to mention -- OMG! COYOTES! That's another thing I have to be glad we don't deal with up here in the Northern Mountains. Hell, we don't even have wolves here anymore.

~

I feel so BLECH today. Not just healthwise -- that isn't any better or worse than usual. But creativity wise. The past month, I was cranking out words every day, and feeling good about the story, even though the draft itself was total ass. I'm back to pushing myself through to the end of THE HUMAN CONDITION, and I just don't feel this story the same way. There's something that's not grabbing me about it -- and one thing you can be sure of, if a story doesn't grab you, it sure as hell isn't going to grab a reader.

Okay, you know what? I'm going to give myself the same kind of assignment and pep talk I did for THE SANG during Nano -- NO INNER EDITOR. Send him or her back to the kennel, and keep up with the exuberant imperfection. JUST WRITE. Don't judge, don't correct, JUST WRITE.

I can do it. I WILL DO IT. What's broken can be fixed in the rewrites.

Hee. I wonder what RPatz's (Or, PsychoBedHead, as I call him) tweenie fans are going to think about "Little Ashes"... if they can even get in to see it. To tell the truth, I can't WAIT to see that movie! It looks really interesting. For those who aren't familiar, he plays Salvador Dali, and the movie is about his career and relationship with his lover in a time when it wasn't cool to have or be a gay lover. No, not just "uncool", like, "taken out into the street and shot" or "thrown in prison for 20 years" is a bit closer.

~

Okay, I don't think I've mentioned this before, but I freaking love the Sarah Connor Chronicles. I think Summer Glau is the shite. However, as much as I love it, and as faithfully as I watch it, and how much I hope it keeps going... I still have no idea what the fuck is going on half the time. Is anybody else with me on that?

As for Heroes, I have only one thing to say: )

[i]kuwamiko: if all you told was turned to gold

Weird.... I saw a bald eagle today, flying over the Library and City Hall - low enough that I could see its eyes, so I wasn't mistaking a different bird. You don't see many bald eagles in NW Oregon, let me say. At least not in the middle of the city. Sorta made me wish I believed in, like, signs or something. Though if I had a totem animal, it wouldn't be a bald eagle. ^_^
