Go to google.ca. Type in the phrase miserable failure, just like that, no quotes or anything. Then click the 'I'm feeling lucky' button.
I have never laughed so hard in my life.

I'm Waiting for Blood to Flow to my Fingers..
music: The Best Deceptions- Dashboard Confessional
So, for those of you that haven't heard yet, my harddrive crashed a couple days ago. Crashed as in everything on it is unretreiveable. So I am back to sqaure one, only I cannot find:
- my scanning software
- the Kazaa Lite++ download site (ironic, since I helped K-chan find it yesterday)
- my antivirus site (haven't looked yet...)
Finally got the net working this morning before I went to school. Telus lies! The future is not freaking friendly. Not theirs, anyway. It took me 25+ tries to get the IP address to register. The funny bit? I changed nothing. It just stopped being an asshat and finally hooked.
Anyway, this next bit's a call for assistance.
If I have ever sent you anything in the way of a picture or a word file, which is still on your computer, can you e-mail it back to me, or send it through MSN messenger? Thanks.
All I can say is, thank each and every nongenderspecific deity that 7th Element is backed up in two different spots, and that Dan's got both my god notes and my Did you Know? list. Even if she can't open it.
Oh, and K-chan? Do you have a copy of So Impossible? (the fic, not the song) Cause I am NOT rewriting that.
Anyway, C, I hope you're feeling better soon. And can you resend me the Flerian map/all the EGC comics/some Robin Black song files?Oh, and your Max drabble's done.
Speaking of drabble, I'm supposed to be doing one for Katelynn. Hm...
Starting Christmas stories tonight, I think. C's novella, and my annual Xmas fandon gift (maybe...). Am thinking it's time to do A Christmas Carol. Jalil would make a good scrooge. Etain could be that wussy Ghost of Xmas past, Ganymeade and Galahad can be... uhm... those ghosts at the beginning. You know, Statler and Waldorf play them in Muppets Christmas Carol. Senna can be the creep Ghost of Xmas Future. And Christopher could do the Ghost of the Present thing. David could play Kermit the frog's part (you know, Tiny Tim's dad) and be forced to work at Starbucks on Christmas eve...
Granted I'd need to learn the names of some of the characters from the original for this,but it could be fun. Oh yes. Almost as much fun as
"Oh, by the way, Drin, are you free on Christmas Eve?"
Andrinor Mialrin glared at his roommate suspiciously, "Why?"
"Well, Musical Ride's free for the evening, and so I put up some flyers and we're having a Christmas party here at the shop." Kryss grinned, completely oblivious to the way his roommate was eyeing the steak knives. (even if he did kill him, it would be justafiable homicide, dammit!)"It'll be awesome! We'll get eggnog and mistletoe, and that glittery stuff they hang on trees. What's it called? Tonsil? Tinfoil?"
It was tinsel, actually, but Andrinor didn't feel compelled to correct the other boy. "And let me guess," He said dryly, cutting Kryss off in the middle of a his spiel, "You want me to work the coffee bar." Not that it really mattered, he couldn't afford to go home for Christmas anyway. At least working would be better than sitting in his apartment alone, brooding and drinking spiked eggnog without the eggnog part.
But the dark haried college student shook his head, "Nope, I hired a couple highschool kids to do that. I figured you could use a break, dude--" he was stopped then by a thud as Andrinor fell off his chair in shock.
"You did something nice." The brown haired boy whispered in shock, taking the hand Kryss offered and pulling himself back to his feet.
"Yup."
"You did something nice for someone else."
"Yup."
"You did something nice for someone else, instead of thinking only about yourself for the first time in your life."
"Hey!"
Andrinor fell over again. His roommate decided to leave him there, this time.
[Edit to add: Oh, BTW, my hair is now blue from the cheekbones down. I am the yang to C's burgandy-pink yin. And the Yami to Katelynn's Hikari, but we all knew that already.]

Long Drabble
music: So Far Away (acoustic)- Stabbing Westward
Written because I've seen this scene forever.
You'll find me standing in the night, the stars never seemed so unending...
The night before the world collapsed, they lay side by side on the ground in their usual place, staring at the sky. There was no touching that night, except for a simple interlocking of hands, skin clammy from the water that clung to the grass bent under them.
They talked that night. Talked of the morning to come, of the day ahead. Talked of what they would do that next evening, when they came back to this same spot. Of what they would be like. Of what would have be left behind.
They talked of death that night, the way only those fully versed in death can talk. Talked and yet never mentioned those who would die come morning. Never guessed at who would be gone when they returned to their place again. And most importantly, never discussed their own deaths. Or who would be left behind in that case.
The stars winked silently at them. Ignorant, or perhaps indifferent to them and their conversation. The sky was clear and they stared into space and into night that went on forever. Oria shone its usual pale pearl-pink, alone in space that night, her twin satellite on the other side of the world.
They talked of love as well, in hushed tones that belied the fear each was trying to hide from the other. Talked of the future. Of what they would do when they were finally free. Of meeting families, though that was forbidden. Of a life, which was forbidden too.
The sun came up early the day the world ended. And only then, in early dawn did they finally cling to each other, whispering words of strength which were truly ones of fear. Praying, even if it was the god of the empire had condemned them to this hell. Praying for evening. Later, one would sit alone again, and pray once more.
But gods ignore wishes for death as easily as those for life.
Note to C: Oria is the name of Flerian's smaller moon. The other, larger moon, usually referred to as its 'brother' is called Eyris. It glows white.

Oopsie
music: Beginning- Lifehouse
I'm such a twit. I forgot Shannon's birthday. Am now in the process of trying to find an e-card to send her (on her parent's account, adimttedly)
There. That's out of the way now. (Phew)
I should totally be thinking about bed. Am I? No. instead I'm listening to Lifehouse and slow OLP songs on repeat and thinking about writing another one of those weird little journal drabbles I do here whenever I should be sleeping/working/eating/doing homework/etc.
Actually, I should also be doing that last one now, too. Damn Bio. If it weren't for that 80 minute spare every day I wouldn't be passing the course. No way in hell.
And I think I have math shit due too. Bah. This is wrecking my peaceful, mellow mood.
Screw it, I'm going to write something.

AHHHH!
music: My Own Demeted Screaming
Finally, after playing off an on for years I have beaten the first video game I ever played. The best part? I beat the final boss on my first try? The even more best part? The end movie sequence had a smiling Seifer, Fujin flirting, actual storyline for Laguna and Selphiecam. It was also really well animated. Oh hella yeah.
~gibbers~
As much as I hated most of that game, I think the last 1/3 really made me kind of like it. The plot even started making a little bit of sense.
I know, scary hey?
I never thought I could like Laguna/Raine as much as I do right now.
Oh, and I watched some Hellsing today, too. The series seems to rock, but god do the translations suck. Oh well. It's still free. ~shrugs~
Anyway, if you'll excuse me, I have to bounce around like a luntatic for a few minutes. Be back later.

Best Wishes and Fishes
music: New American Way- Dropkick Murpheys
First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY K-CHAN! Yup, she's 17 today. And in roughly 2 months, Dan will be 18. The age difference in my group astounds me.
Oh, and lest I forget, Happy American Thanksgiving to you, Kay. May your turkeys be full of sunshine. Right.
Anyway, I think I'm going to have a Band II class today, just for the hell of it. I've done too much homework this week, I deserve it.
And on a final note:
OMFG!!!!!!11111!!!!1!!!!!!1 Gravitation was like so cool! LOL it rox!!1
But seriously, that was one amazing series. I think I scared my mom, though, since I was down here at my computer, alternately wailing and yellign at the moniter, and pissing my pants laughing. Good times.
Oh, and I've unlocked all the seals in Ulitmecia's castle. (And I have Eden!) Meaning I've only got traing to do. And an hour long boss battle... buh.
Later days.
PS: Bambi placed second in Entertainment Weekly's list of the 50 Greatest Tearjerkers of All Time.

...deleted post by mistake. Too early for that! Too foikin' early! So more point form.
- 8:00 has official hit 'too early status'
- Up until 1:00 again (damn nocturnal urges)
- Hee! Urges...
- Realized that I forgot to restrict my math proofs around 12:30 last night. Bah.
- Got an e-mail from Kay. God, I love that girl.
And you should all go read Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five. Yup. It's short, good, and will make you too go around saying things like, "So it goes."
Right, school now.

The Day in Review:
- Math test sucked ass
- Bio test was easy and actually kind of fun (biological conspiracy theories, and I finally have a contest idea)
- $200 richer for being smart (really smart- 2nd highest average smart. Now that's a first)
- Kay likes aprons
- Andrew offered to teach me how to tie a tie when I was making fun of my lack of ability
- Studying is becoming useless again
- Lisa is still 50% better
- Queer Eye for the Straight Guy rocks
- Part VI of Flourescent Light Special is done. And short.
Sbooshy man, sbooshy.

Weird Fucking Week, Man.
music: Dashboard Confessional- Hands Down
I think I'm in love. His name is Jian Ghomeshi, and he hosts >play, this really eclectic arts show on CBC that I was watching tonight. Why was I watching this (or TV in general) you ask? I was babysitting. And while Slaughter House 5 is a lot of funny, it's written in such a disjointed style that you almost feel obligated to put it down every few pages and go do something else.
Besides, >play had jazz singers.
~is currently on their website~ I need to watch more of this show. They've had Rufus Wainwright on, and Raine fricking Maida on there, discussing politics, and Jian makes fun of Shania Twain while worshipping her.
And best of all: No Ben Mulroney. (And none of his styrofoam hair!)
I'm trying to find a flattering photo in their gallery to post. If I do, it'll be in here later.
Anyway, I suppose I owe it to you all to do my own dish on Friday, so heregoes: Went to K-chan's house. Watched Get Backers eps. And Dr. Jackal reminds me of Vampire Hunter D.
Then there was DDR. And... hell. I cannot describe the abject weirdness of watching three 17 year-old males play DDR while wearing animal costumes that were clearly designed for elementary students and wearing stuffed briefs. So if you'd like a slightly more detailed dish, go to here and scroll down, past the quizzes.
Robin Black still sounds like a woman to me.
Er.. anyway. I think this picture may sort of showcase the hotness that is >play's host. He's the one on the left (which should be obvious, since I've been referring to him as he).
Saw Love, Actually today, which I totally love and was totally cute, and makes you use words like totally. The only problem was that two of the plotlines didn't ever get wrapped up. And I couldn't get a quote from Emma Thompson on how "Liam Neesan is sex on legs," out of my head. (And you know, it may be true- IT'S STILL BETTER THAN CHRISTOPHER WALKAN, MEL!)
So what else happend to make this a strange week?
C and I took some of my 7th characters and created a glam rock band called 'The Musical Ride' if the name is only a dirty innuendo to you, then you are obviously not Canadian. Oh, and this ficticious band's lead singer is a drag queen with a crush on the lead guitarist. In a bizarre twist, said guitar-player is female. We expect an album out any day.
I also had my suspicions about Andrew having a girlfriend confirmed and didn't care. Well, that's a lie. I was a little amused, and concerned as to whether or not Kristen Bender knows. But it was odd how little the news affected me. Like I've said before, I don't entertain serious notions of dating guys I still half want to kill. Not as much as Andre, though. He's getting more and more insufferable. Did Dave move out of town or something?
(Note to self: Investigate cost of hiring Chippendale for Andre, so he'll shut up.)
(Other Note to Self: Stop being such an stupid asshole, self.)
Hm... whatelse? I haven't written in about eight days. It's really strange. I think I shall sit down tomorrow on my day alone and work. I hope.

Oh, and on the subject of red, I got another of those strange reviews where people tell me I'm rubbish without explaining why. I think I'll reprint it. People who can't consitantly spell crap (or carp) are funny.

Random fanficiton quote:
Jesus, I was starting to get paranoid. A mental image came to mind of me dressed in clothes fashioned out of tattered carpet and paper bags. The hobo me held up a half-eaten tuna fish melt procured from a nearby dumpster, then skewered an alley cat and clumsily made a hat out of it.
I need a life.
Hey, if I give you some yarn, will you knit me one?

10:52 p.m.
it's more like a song...
music: Sunrise, Sunset- Bright Eyes
Let's play a game:
1- Homework sucks. But Julius smoothies rock.
2- School and math suck. But songs by Bright Eyes and tonight's episode of Ed rock.
3- The two girls in my instrument section who never play and won't shut up, and locking your keys in the car all suck. But Robin Black's voice, biological conspiracy theories and episodes of Hellsing for download all rock.
4- Questions 1-4 on 'Style in your Essay' suck. But episodes 1-4 of Gravitation rock.
5- People who never shut up about other people's sexuality, the President of the US, the woman working at the U of R booth at the career fair, the new Tim Horton's doughnuts and chapped lips all suck. But moose plushies, iced cappuccinos, spell checkers, fanfiction by Kay, and David Edding's novels all rock.
That was actually kinda fun. Also worthy of rockage:
- people named Dan who give me rides home
- Mordecai Richler
- mint Girl Guide cookies
- my mother/daughter date to see Love, Acutally on Sunday
- Robin Black's song So Sick of You
- Stephen and my narration to K-chan's musical composition
- Siobhan O'Conner (my euphonium partner in crime)
- pretty much everyone I know
- going to the mall with my dad to make fun of his jeans
- boots
- Sakano-san and Mr. K
- my Mum and Dad's recent reversal on the Carleton issue. I think they're finally for it.
Wow. Life actually doesn't suck. Katelynn, I owe you for your cum review help. Anyway, I think everything that's happened this week is somewhere in that post.
I'm going to go delete my homework from the blog now.

10:07 p.m.
You're Just a Poor Misguided Fool...
music: Take Me Away- Lifehouse
More Gravitation. More fangirl giggling. More Kazaa cursing and DivX worshipping.
I think Mr. K and Sakano need to have some scenes of Hot! Manager! Action! if only so Sakano will stop running into walls and passing out. Oh yes.
Went to Dad's house and was subsequently dragged out to watch football on someone's big screen. Got harassed by a six year-old. Why, oh why, do I have a kid magnet? ~weeps~
All this, along with intense readings of American Psycho (almost done... almost done...), has left me feeling oddly out of touch with reality, as though I've fallen off the face of the planet. Stupid mid 80's satire. Yuppies are scary.
Meh... I think I'll either go further the 'plot' in FF VIII, or finish my damn book. Eight more episodes to go...

I'm Stupid! (But at least I'm not 15)
music: One Way or Another- Blondie
ERIC: Help me, help me,
I'm in pain.
And I hate this fucking rain. - From The Crow, by Dr, Seuss
Yeah, if you want to know what I did last night at C's, go read Mel's blog. Maybe it'll make sense there. Probably not, though.
And in important news:
I have seen Gravitation. I've already got the first 3 episodes and... wow. It's so fucking funny. And while there is shounen-ai, it is not nearly as important as their manager, Sakano. Someone described him as 'constantly on the verge of a cerebral haemorrhage. I'd say that's acurate.
And I want Tohma's coat. It's so fuzzy. And I'm such a raving fangirl. Sigh.
"If William Shatner sang Rocky Horror, this would be it..." -Mel.
