LOL okay. Usually I have my suitcase and a shoe bag for Dragon*Con. Lots of my costumes have thin or no shoes this year. So I have a feeling it will be a suitcase and a prop bag.

So on the left we have the three Long Walk numbers, which will be recycled this year, the boy scout pack (which will be used for both my Peter McVries costume and Ashley's Gordie LaChance costume), the little box on top of that is my CANDY CIGARETTES (<3333!) for Chris Chambers (since ew real cigarettes D:), the gold tiara for Maid Marian, the belt/canteen/pouch for Peter McVries, the shovel for Lisey Landon, the bloody yellow afghan square for Lisey Landon (I LOVE YOU EMILY <333), TENEL KA LIGHTSABER OMGOMGOMGOGM, the bloody axe for Ashley's Annie Wilkes costume, the GHETTOBLASTER for the Zel twins and then at the bottom is my ADAM needle for my Little Sister. This pile is missing the crazy flower garland for the Lisey costume.

ALSO.

( THIS TOOTH. IN THE HAND ON THE ARM I AM NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE FOR THE COSTUME. )

BECAUSE 34 DAYS. :O

JARED AND JENSEN = SO CUTE LOL

Jensen: "Little...?"
Jared: "Well, big for you."

AUGUST 5TH. THE FAINT'S FIRST NEW CD IN FOUR YEARS. :O

And ( under this cut, I spoil the LOL SEQUEL TO THE LOST BOYS WITH LOTS OF CURSING. )

dafkjsfjdkasjdfkjasdfjsdk! AM I GOING TO HAVE TO BUY THIS CRAP DAMN MOVIE JUST FOR THE CHEESE FACTOR? D:

So I was reading this old article in a Time Magazine from 1986 -- right after It was released and Stephen King has reasons for his IDEAS. REASONZ I TELL YOU. The bolded part totally makes me flake out.

In an eerie resemblance to his spiritual ancestor Poe, King was also deserted by his father in infancy. At the age of four the lonely boy walked home pale and unspeaking. A neighborhood friend had inexplicably vanished. "It turned out," King later recalled, "that the kid had been run over by a freight train while playing on or crossing the tracks (years later, my mother told me they had picked up the pieces in a wicker basket)." To this day the author has "no memory of the incident at all; only of having been told about it..." But at the age of eight he had a very accessible dream: "I saw the body of a hanged man dangling from the arm of a scaffold on a hill. When the wind caused the corpse to turn in the air, I saw that it was my face -- rotted and picked by the birds, but obviously mine. And then the corpse opened its eyes and looked at me." Permutations of both incidents would turn up in books two decades later.

adfksjdaklsjdfkjsdf D: But I love this next part.

On Mother's Day, 1973, a Doubleday editor called about the sale of paperback rights [for Carrie]. "I thought he was going to tell me I was only getting $5,000 or something," King fondly remembers. "He said $400,000. The only thing I could think to do was go out and buy my wife a hair dryer. I stumbled across the street to get it and thought I would probably get greased by some car."

HAHAHAHHAHAH~ <3

"People think the muse is a literary character," says King, "some cute little pudgy devil who floats around the head of the creative person sprinkling fairy dust. Well, mine's a guy with a flattop in coveralls who looks like Jack Webb and says, 'All right, you son of a bitch, time to get to work.'"

LOVE. XD

Was it just me, or did Tim Gunn say something to the effect of "I have to go throw myself in front of a taxi cab after I slit my wrists!" -- in the previews for next week's Project Runway...? BECAUSE LOL TIM GUNN. <33333

Here are some random tidbits. RANDOM YAY!

1.) HEY MTV, FUCK YOU. THIS IS NOT NEEDED. NOT AT ALL.

2.) aklsjdfkldsjfjk VEGAS. CRISS ANGEL. WADE ROBSON. CIRQUE DU SOLEIL. The new pictures! The second picture -- the grayish dress with all the swirls on it = OMG <3333. AND THE BLACK OUTFIT IN THE THIRD ROW IS CREEPY. LOOK AT HER NAILS. D: I CAN'T WAIT.

3.) It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 4!: "It's our funniest season yet, I think," said McElhenney, who'd only part with one plotline, though that one's probably enough to set the tone: "We get addicted to eating human meat."

4.) NEW ROBOT FOES FROM TERMINATOR SALVATION -- EWWW HYDRABOTS.

In other news, MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE AT DRAGON*CON? SERIOUSLY? Oh snap~ :O

The Fall is still playing in Shirlington when I thought it would be out of that theater like two weeks ago. IT IS CALLING TO ME. D:

So, I think next summer see_aphy_be and I are gonna take a vacation to Maine. Why? Because it is pretty. But mostly, because we are nerds. Super duper nerds. You know what else is totally nerdy? We will bring costumes (and by costumes I mean regular clothes that pass as costumes -- cause it's STEPHEN KING). How fucking cool and dorky would it be to get pictures as Peter McVries and Art Baker in front of the WELCOME TO VAN BUREN, MAINE sign, on Route 1, where the Long Walk is started every year? YES. Although, we would have to make non-bloody versions of the costumes. We wouldn't want to flip out the locals. D:

So yeah, then stuff up in Caribou and Presque Isle. Then we would totally hit up Derry Bangor and be like, "LOL STEPHEN KING LIVES AROUND HERE", but we won't stalk cause we're not that bad (really?). But also in Bangor we would putz around the city -- oh oh oh and hit up all the landmarks that are in Stephen King's fictional town of Derry, Maine -- which is his version of Bangor. Like stuff from It and Insomnia. Then we will find a lake and be like, "LOL, Dark Score Lake" and train tracks and be like, "LOL THE BODY." WE CAN EVEN GO TO LUDLOW AND BE LIKE "OH HAY THADDEUS BEAUMONT AND CHURCH THE CAT WUT?"

Then we can go to exactly where Castle Rock should be (Map from King's official site, OH SNAP!) and FIND A FIELD TO CAMP IN. MAYBE WE WILL GET KILLED BY A CLOWN. OR A CAR. OR A DOG. OR GEORGE STARK. <3

We will also have to drive the Acadia Harbors and Heights loop. IT EVEN SAYS SO ON THE MAINE TOURISM WEBSITE.

Poll #1228556 LET'S GO FOR A WALK.
Open to: Friends, detailed results viewable to: All

Have you read THE LONG WALK by Richard Bachman Stephen King?

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING APPLIES TO YOU?

IF YOU HAVE READ SAID BOOK OF AMAZINGNESS, give me your FAVORITE WALKER.

(Maybe si, maybe no. Teeehehehee~ Wireman.)

LOL, I can't wait to see if these instances are kept in the movie:

The walkers alternately embrace the crowd and members of it, notably Garraty taking a warning to neck with a girl and Gribble making sexual advances leading to his demise. As the volume, sheer numbers, and intensity of the crowds build, the walkers become more hostile and paranoid. One walker, seeing the crowd ahead swelling and threatening to close up the road entirely, goes insane, claiming that they will "eatusup" over and over again until he is shot by the soldiers.


COME OOOOOON, FRANK DARABONT. MOOOOOOOOVIE! LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED.

DARABONT: That one will be very, very faithful to Stephen’s story, even more faithful then The Mist was. But it doesn’t bear a huge budget because it’s a very existential strange little story. To do it faithfully then it winds up being a strange little movie so not a blockbuster, just a very interesting film I think.

I LOVE YOU, MAN.

That whole thing about Scott Landon yesterday? You guys know I'm a total perv -- and lines like this make me love him EVEN MORE:

And if that famous person had his famous arm around someone, why she must be famous, too, if only by association. Or, as Scott himself had once said, by injection.

<333333333333333333333 LOVE.

I am still pissed about Rachel Weisz not being in the third Mummy movie, but I am gonna have to see it on the big screen. Good cheese fun! Brendan Fraser, Jet Li, Michelle Yeoh = automatic love (Luke Ford and Isabella Leong are bot HOT as well). Also, John Hannah always kicks ass in the Mummy movies and gets The Best Lines. Looks like he's getting them in this one too. XD I guess I will reserve judgement on Maria Bello until I see her as Evelyn and I will try not to be too bitchy from the get-go. But no one can kick ass as Evie as well as Rachel -- that is like her character.

Plus, THE TERRA COTTA ARMY. And omg YETI. ksdjfkajsfdksjdfkjdfkjsdfkjdkj~

(And omg BRENDAN FRASER SO CUTE ;-;~)

SO I WENT TO THE CRENTIST DENTIST TODAY. AFTER FIVE YEARS. No cavities! :D They did a crazy cleaning though. Then for the fluoride I got to bite down on this mouth thing that had the stuff in it -- it looked like hair mousse and tasted like mint and it seriously looked like I was foaming at the mouth with rabies or something. D:

My back feels a little better. I wasn't really paying attention to it today cause I was so paranoid about the dentist -- but I think it's getting there. I also managed to bloody up my Peter McVries shirt a bit more. My bullet hole will definitely have to be on the left this year. Hehe~ I love how four of my eight costumes require me to be gross and bloody (zombie!Shmi, Peter McVries, Lisey Landon & Little Sister). Luckily the other four (the Tenel Kasasasasasasas, Chris Chambers & Maid Marian) require me to be clean (and only one of those four require me to BE A MAN, HUG IT OUT BITCH~)... heeeeee.

And I want to have Sam Sparro's babies. Especially for this song. And "Pocket" and "Black and Gold"... but mostly this one.

Allllright, this is bad. You know how much I love me some Jacen Solo and Peter McVries. As far as characters from books go these two always take the cake. But on this readthrough of Lisey's Story, Scott Landon is looking more and more perfect and amazing.

In the case of Peter, we get background on him, sure (not enough jafksfjd). And it's all interesting and his snarky quotes and just everything about him is all kinds of YES. He has his flaws, he has is strengths. And then he's gone.

Jacen Solo, on the other hand, has had so many author's fingers all over him that he's gone from one end of the spectrum to the other and seems like a completely different character at different points in his life. So while I <3 him, he doesn't seem to evoke the same emotion from me that he did in his real years where he was questioning Every Single Thing and being unlike Every Other Jedi out there (kdjakfjaksfjdsd Traitor <3).

Then we get to Scott Landon. With Peter, there wasn't enough and with Jacen there was too much. Scott is like the little bear's junk and I'm Goldilocks and he's just right. He's human. His flaws make sense (*cough* Take note Jacen Solo).

And every little thing wrong with him makes him that much more endearing. The fact that we get to see it all through the eyes of someone who loves him so much despite his flaws (kjfksjfd I love Lisey <3) makes it even better. Sure, Scott cuts the shit out of his hand one night and swears they don't need to go to the emergency room, then he wakes Lisey up at four in the morning talking about, "WE NEED TO BUY A HOUSE. NO WAIT, THAT'S BACKWARDS. LET'S GET MARRIED." Sure, his hair's getting a little too long and he gnaws on his nails like a rat when he's reading and his teeth are a little crooked and he doesn't shut up when he gets to talking.

But he's a mean fry cook, he's had a shitty childhood that he shares with the one person he loves (as well as sharing a trip to that place), and he takes all of Lisey's words to heart. Families suck -- he tells her this as he wraps his bloody arm around her and kisses her temple.

This is the shit I LOVE reading about a character. Little odd things that make them more human.

If there was more Peter, I think Peter would take it all in this race. He's tragically and perfectly shaped and fleshed out, but there's not enough of him. Jacen, if LotF never happened, might take this spot as well -- in fact he has for awhile. But now he has this depressingly bitter aftertaste thing going (which makes me sad).

On this readthrough of Lisey's Story I think LITTLE SCOOT Scott is doing some complete pwnage. D:

I want my own Scott Landon.

Except you know, without the pneumonia eating of the fruit after sunset.

(It was tuned to the 50's on 5, and Lisey wasn't exactly surprised to hear "Sh-boom." Not The Chords, though; this was the cover version, recorded by a quartet Scott had insisted on calling The Four White Boys. Except when he was drunk. Then he called them The Four Cleancut Honkies.)

STEPHEN KING, WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO ME? <3 XD

The television must've known I've been feeling like shit and have been stuck on the couch ALL DAY LONG because it put Zoom on.

And Zoom has Kevin Zegers in a hot red number with angry red eyes. Effing hot.


:)


(And I finally got a Last.FM account, LOL. LET'S BE FRIENDS. My name on there is Ereneda.)

THE SILENT HILL 5 ATTRACT MOVIE (aka the one they play if you leave the menu screen at the start too long).

THE OFFICER! OMG! ALSO ALEX IS HOT. Josh is too young to be hot. D: Trucker = scruffy!Travis? NEW AKIRA YAMAOKA SONG. :OOOOO

PYRAMID HEAD. OH SNAP.

This heating pad is kind of helping my back a little but making me hot and totally delusional. ddsk;djdjm I'M GONNA EAT SOME CHIPS NOW.


EDIT: Okay, Josh is creepy. AND WHAT THE SHIT IS THAT THING AT 1:25!? AND THE THING ATTACKING THE CAR?

Forget Leia and Mara when you have each other. <3

BACK. PAAAAAAAAAAIN. I am guessing today and tomorrow will be spent on the couch with the heating pad. :| Maybe I will just make Monday totally awesome and go to the dentist AND go get the Xray. :|||||||

jdkfjkdsjfksdj bleh.

In two minutes it will be Jared Padalecki's 26th birthday. :D

Maybe this possibly means a picspam will be in order -- like I have done in the past for River Phoenix and Jonathan Rhys Meyers (that is totally my favorite page of the Fangirl thread O_O). You can also bet your ass Kevin will have one this fall too. BOYS EVERYWHERE.

(LOL, it's JRM's birthday in eight days. MOAR PICSPAM~ <3)

I forgot to ask DID ANYONE WATCH PROJECT RUNWAY?

DID ANYONE ELSE WANT TO SLAP THE SHIT OUT OF BLAYNE? If I heard him say GIRLICIOUS one more time and gush about his Playboy Bunny Mesh Diaper thing, I was going to kdfsajl;fkjaksdjfak sdjf SMACK A HO.

I am the only person in the world not uber-orgasmic about the release of Batman, AND I APOLOGIZE. So this entry has nothing Batman-related like my whole friendslist, LOL. SORRY GUYZ. :(

Although, I would like to see the Terminator trailer on a big screen, hello. ( And under this cut I gush about Terminator. )

Okay, my back is fucking killing me. The ride to work and home every day is kind of okay until I get to maybe the last five minutes (the ride takes me about half an hour) and then I'm in so much pain I want to scream. I have to get up every twenty minutes at my desk and walk around. Twelve ibuprofen and four muscle relaxants a day aren't doing anything.

So I get to wait this out, pretty much. I'm tempted to go get the x-ray on Monday. But I have a dentist appointment. And I haven't been the dentist in five years. So I'm too busy worrying about that. Broken ass, a billion problems with the teeth, no doubt -- and there's so much crap I want to get done on the weekends and I WON'T BE GETTING ANY OF IT DONE THIS WEEKEND, IT LOOKS LIKE.

(THE FALL DVD ON SEPTEMBER 9TH. :D)

(RESIDENT EVIL 5 ON MARCH 13, 2009. :D)

Also, I want to eat the fact that Final Fantasy XIII is gonna on the Xbox 360 and not just the Playstation 3. OUCH SONY LOL.

Darth Vader's SUPAR SEKRITT apprentice holds his lightsaber like I always imagined Tenel Ka to hold hers in a fight. THIS MEANS THEY ARE RELATED.

*fanfictions*

Looks like Kriff This! will becoming more of a general board (but not too general -- Star Wars crack is and always will be the board's MAIN LIFE FORCE LOL). SO SOMETHING (or lots of things) AWESOME NEEDS TO BE ON THE LOGO. WHAT SHOULD IT/THEY BE?


(OMG WHO WANTS TO PLAY LEFT 4 DEAD WITH ME? OGOGMOMSFOGMSFOGJSDIFJDJFKLSD :OOOOOO)

DEAD SPACE! STRATEGIC DISMEMBERMENT. MUST PLAY. Y/N?

Also, SILENT HILL HOMECOMING NEW FOOTAGE. BIOSHOCK EXTRA STUFF. RESIDENT EVIL 5 NEW TRAILER! fsdkjfajksdf sdklfjas I must make a coherent post about these later but but but but right now I'm just lke OH HAY OH HAY!

Back still hurts. Especially when I'm driving in the car. Ibuprofen is not working. I'm gonna switch to something else and see what happens.

I started reading Lisey's Story again. I told myself I was going to look at it for any more costume bits I might need, but I ended up just plain reading it. I can't help it. I love that book. Looooove.

OKAY. I have posed a question on Kriff This! I have posed this same question before, but now I know a good number of us on there are pretty much burnt out on Star Wars after Legacy of the Force -- so the name would stay the same, the forums would stay the same, etc. (it's explained better in that thread) -- but keep it a "star wars forums with some other assorted crappery"...? or "a general forum with some SW shit still on it" -- meaning the logos would stop being so STAR WARS ORIENTED.

We love new members and the covers of LotF (especially since it's end :|) probably aren't arousing much YAY I WANT TO JOIN THIS BOARD. (P.S. EVERYONE JOIN THE BOARD PLZ XD)


(http://bancomicsans.com/home.html -- effing LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL! <3)


P.S. THE NEW SEASON OF PROJECT RUNWAY IS ON TONIGHT. :D

I went to the doctor's today.

I got a shot. On my ass. I thought "well at least it's not a vein and i won't feel it whatever whatever i am trying to tell myself it will be nothing" -- yes, cause hobbling to my car and flinching everytime I hit a bump on the way home -- HEATHER, A SHOT ON YOUR ASS IS NOTHING. IT'S NOTHING.

And I have to take twelve ibuprofen a day again, just like I was doing with my foot.




HAPPY MONDAY TO YOU ALL. :|

I don't know what everyone's BFD is and all the complaints about the box cover -- I kind of adore it. Creepy little children ALWAYS WIN.

WAIII THE FONT IS LAMOR! WAIII IT'S NOT A BIG FACE SLAPPED ON THE BOX LIEK TEH REST! WAIIII IT'S NOT A DIRECT RIP-OFF OF SILENT HILL 2!!111 WAIIIII~~~~

DUDES, stfu and give the game a chance. No one buys games for THE BOX ART.

Also, I am still creeped out about the Shepard family that Alex and his brother are a part of. I mean MARY SHEPARD-SUNDERLAND. ANY RELATION? Although, I think Mary's was Shepherd, but I haven't played that game in forever (WHAT?! I KNOW) and I will be playing it soon.

YAY SILENT HILL 5'S ESRB RATING WAS ANNOUNCED -- M FOR MATURE LOL! Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Language and Sexual Themes. Good to see the old pals like INTENSE VIOLENCE and SEXUAL THEMES are still around!
