Crazy isn't always what they say it is.*

bending_sickleToday was a crap day. Nothing was done, not a shit was given, and woe was had. My head still hurts from sorta-not crying on my have-to-get-out walk.
And my mom needs to learn that saying on Monday that there's "a Quebecois film she wants to watch" and on Wednesday that "it's on Satursday at nine" and on Saturday that "she's going to watch a movie" does not mean that she's making plans with me to watch a movie today at 9 pm. You actually have to say the words that mean, "let's go watch [movie] [date] at [time]." You can't have plans with people if you don't make them.
In other news, this is why I still haven't watched Paranormal Activity 2, as told by ambrina on Tumblr. I really want to watch it, and it's right there, watchable, but just the thought makes me burrow into my blankets. It's the poltergeist thing, especially with the bed sheets. That's the kind of thing that freaks me out. (See also: the possession scene in The Exorcism of Emily Rose.)
Meme: 30-Day Fandom vs. Personal Meme:
Once again, I forget things for previous answers to this meme. For Day 4, I forgot to add Modern Family's Phil Dunphy and Medium's Joe Dubois, both normal, wonderful husbands.
Day 5: When your friend is mad, which character do they remind you of?
I have no idea - or have forgotten - what my friends are like when they're mad. And anyway, no one person is angry in one single way. It depends on the circumstances. There's frustrated-mad, hurt-mad, jealous-mad, confused-mad, I-love-you-but-mad, and so on.
6. Character that you feel would not get along with you in reality, whatsoever.
7. Character that you know must be good in bed, even if you wouldn’t sleep with them.
8. Character that is technically attractive, but you just can’t bring yourself to be attracted to them.
9. Which character would you set upon your worst enemy?
10. From any mixture of fandoms, pick your favourite overall character, your favourite villain, and a character you wish would have stayed longer. Now, fuck, marry or kill them.
11. What character is your closest hair twin?
12. Which character would you want to help plan your wedding?
13. Form of transportation from a fandom that you wish you had yourself.
14. Fandom home you wish you lived in yourself.
15. Fandom location you’d most like to visit, even though you couldn’t meet the characters.
16. Character you’d most like to steal underwear from.
17. Character you would never put your close friend in a room with, unless they had done something to make you really hate them.
18. Character you most think would make a great parent (father if you are female, mother if you are male).
19. Listen to the last ballad you remember hearing. Which character does it most remind you of?
20. Pick three favourite characters, each of them spearing currently in a different fandom. One of them has to be killed off from the current fandom you like them in, one of them has to become the star of their fandom, and the other has to be written out completely to never have appeared at all. You decide.
21. Character you’d most like to be for a day.
22. Which character do you think your close friend most looks like?
23. Fandom you wish you could tear down and rebuild from the ground up (recast, change plot etc)
24. Choose your favourite kind of pet. What character most reminds you of that animal?
25. Your stranded on a desert island. Which group of friends from any fandom do you think would be the best to be stuck with?
26. If you had a serious problem, which character would you go to and tell about it?
27. Which character would you trust completely to save you from a tragic fate?
28. Character you think smells yummy, and what do they smell of?
29. One of your favourite pastimes, and which character do you think would enjoy it the most?
30. You get to either have the powers of any character from a fandom, have their looks, or have them be a real person and become your lover. Which/who do you choose?

...I miss me some Misha :(

Date: 2011-03-20 06:52 pm (UTC)I'm mostly rewatching the earlier episodes, all with puppy Sammy and Dean being adorable. Those were the times, Adri, those were the times. :D (By the way, I keep on wondering, what did happen to Dean's amulet? Surely, they had Sam pick it up? I'm wondering why it's taking so long for it to return.)
You really need to get yourself some pie, sweetie. ;)
On an unrelated notion, this day has been a very bad day for studying, as have been the last two. I shouldn't ever study on the bed, since I tend to fall asleep after about two seconds. *facepalm*
Love you, my darling! ♥
no subject
Date: 2011-03-20 08:45 pm (UTC)And yeah, I hope we see the amulet again. There's a few things they've kinda abandoned (remember Kali? and the blood-binding thing she did to Sam, Dean and Gabriel? I want that to come up again. Also, is Chuck completely gone? And Becky's not freaking out?) but I really think they'll pick some up again. The writers are actually good at that, if you look through the seasons.
And yes, it's hellatus time. They're back April 15 (!!!)
Keep studying, good luck, and all my love to you!
no subject
Date: 2011-03-21 05:22 pm (UTC)I can't believe hellatus will be this long! Didn't we just come back from Christmas hellatus? Oh well. I'm confused.
Thank you, sweetie! I'll try to study some more although the daily progress is minuscule and it is all very disheartening, on the whole. The post-exam blues, I see them calling my name! Fffff...
Anyway - I hope you're doing okay, darling, and that your week started off brilliantly. *glomps* ♥

My week so far seems to be going well :) Tomorrow's probably a movie night, so yays.
*smish*
no subject
Date: 2011-03-22 07:45 pm (UTC)OMG I will be needing your Spanish fu/Good Luck vibes so badly, you have no idea, Adri. Can't we swap our brains for four hours on Thursday? IT'S JUST FOUR HOURS, ADRI, DON'T DENYYYY ME. >:D
On an unrelated note, I had wonderful apricot curd cake today and had to think of you, my poor cake-deprived Sickle, and how much I'd like to share. ♥
Yays for movie night! *glomps*

Date: 2011-03-22 09:05 pm (UTC)You can totally have my brain for Thursday, although be warned that it's not a terribly good brain. It's gone all mushy with disuse :( However, you don't need my brain! You da man!
As for my Good Luck Vibes... *hands you car keys* The truck's outside. Careful opening the container door, it's pretty full of GL vibes. ♥
Piiiiiieeeee! Caaaaaake! *makes ineffectual grabby hands*

Date: 2011-03-23 08:30 pm (UTC)I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING, DARLING, MEA CULPA :D
Thank you times a hundred for your good luck vibes, sweetie; my head's bursting with half-arsed knowledge about Franquismo and La Transición Española &c. &c., I'm fairly sure I'll be needing them. I just hope I'll remember at least one or two things tomorrow. *facepalm* The Spanish Abitur's bound to be a tricky thing, all the more so if they ask you stuff about applied geography and politics and shit. And additionally, they want you to form grammatically correct and eloquent sentences. Craaazziiiness. :D
I still could expatriate myself until tomorrow and we could meet up for a pie date? (... which doesn't sound dirty at all. :D)
And now I'm off to learn some more about Spanish history~ (or attempt to, anyway, heh.)
Love you! Hope you're doing fine, sweets. ♥
no subject
Date: 2011-03-23 10:18 pm (UTC)We are so on for pie. Next time we meet, there will be pie. *pinky-swears*

Date: 2011-03-25 06:33 pm (UTC)Everyone's going out tonight (to get pissed, of course) but I have work in the morning, so I'm at home watching Resident Evil. What a shitty, hilarious movie. :D
*HUGS*

Date: 2011-03-25 07:14 pm (UTC)Braaaaaaiiiins! Seschat braaaaaaiiiiins are so goooooood! ;) Enjoy the movie and see if you can't puppy-eye yourself some pie tomorrow.
*HUGS BACK*

Date: 2011-03-25 07:39 pm (UTC)Well, we had to illustrate the problems and advantages of the EU, but I couldn't think of many problems except for bitchy politicians, the required monies to run this thing, and integration. There's been big talk about integration fail in Germany lately, so I guessed maybe that's what they want to hear. All in all, sweets, don't think I can say my brain was on fire. Sizzling, at the most. :D Anyyywho, I'm being all look at all the fucks I give about it, so it's all right.
:D:D:D You're sweet. ♥ (Yeah, about the brains? I'm trying to stream The Bourne Identity now. Originally, I wanted to check out the whole Resident Evil series, but braiiiins get really old after a while, or so it seems. And Milla Jovovich has about five lines of text. :D But hey, Michelle Rodriguez was a total BAMF, so there's that. She was in Lost, wasn't she?)
no subject
Date: 2011-03-25 08:15 pm (UTC)Michelle Rodriguez is the most BAMF lady out there. She was indeed in Lost - although fan-reception went damn near icy after a few episodes, she was ass-kicking anyway - and was also in The Fast and the Furious. Okay, now I have to watch Resident Evil. (It was already on my "Braaaaaiiiins" movies list which, before you ask, doesn't actually exist and is just all the zombie movies I feel I ought to watch.)
Love you!
no subject
Date: 2011-03-25 09:46 pm (UTC)I loved Michelle Rodriguez in The Fast and the Furious! I'm wondering why the series had no ongoing storyline, though, especially with the two movies who both had Paul Walker as lead. Oh, well, I'll just go crush on Paul Walker and be quiet now. :D
Hey, you've got to tell me how Resident Evil ends so I can watch Resident Evil: Apocalypse tomorrow - that is, after having gathered enough strength for some more braaaaiiins. :D
Or, you know - we could do a live streaming thing, if you have the time? We could make fun of it together! :D
♥ *smiiiiiish*
ALSO am I seeing some new icons there? :D
no subject
Date: 2011-03-25 11:54 pm (UTC)The thing with Michelle Rodriguez is that her characters are often fierce and don't take crap from anyone.
I don't think livestreaming is a viable option - I get sudden cases of "buffering" when watching The Daily Show's steam videos, and those are just like 20 minutes long. If I can get my hands on the film then we could make a date, but I have no idea how long getting that'd take.
Yes! New icons! Except I still have empty icon spaces because my icon collection apparently is full of crap. You know when you just stare at things - like your music collection or the contents of your fridge - and think, "there is nothing here for me! why does it all suck?"
no subject
Date: 2011-03-26 12:23 pm (UTC)Yeah, I have that buffering problem a lot, too. But it could work if we let it load fully before we started watching? Just a thought. :S

Date: 2011-03-20 09:56 pm (UTC)That meme question made me wonder if you've ever seen me mad. Then I remembered that time when you and Rosa and some other people knocked on my door in rez for supper, while I was napping, and I yelled at you all because I thought it was 6 am instead of 6 pm. I was VERY VERY MAD. For a few minutes, anyway.
But I think I may have only seen you when you were frustrated.
