when I watch a horror film, I no longer FEAR the demon / monster / boogeyman, etc.
I start to feel like fantasizing about fighting them.
Like in that movie "The Exorcist".
I wish I was Fr. Merrin confronting that demon.

*munchmunchmunchmunch* probably should go to sleep soon *sllllluuuurp* then again, I haven't started my daytime job yet… *munchmunchmunchmunch BURB*
pervert.lol! XD

We had a bit of a storm here. It wouldn't have been a problem, I knew it was coming, I didn't even wear a jacket because it wasn't cold…
But the power went out to the whole of my train line!
I had to wait for over an hour with a huge group of people for an overcrowded replacement bus… Standing on the side of a busy road with no shelter except for the raised train line behind us.
Lucky I had my umbrella at least. I fished a beret, leather gloves, and a scarf from my bag, but a jacket would've been nice.
Ugh, whatever happens I'm taking a coat tomorrow!
So my surname is being changed soon. The new one sounds very posh, which may be a problem because I am incredibly unposh. I'll have to work on my 'old chaps' and start eating more crumpets. Wot-wot.A new parent or a legal thing?
Oh I know! You're getting married! Who's the lucky guy? ^^
Try "eld cheps", and instead of "house" say "hice" and instead of "about" say "abite". That'll set you right old boy. ;)

I just heard back from the people making my expensive jackets… Still in tailoring apparently. STILL. That's 14 weeks now. They say they're busy with a lot of work. hmm…I suppose I'll wait another month and a half before contacting them again. -_-

It's my mother's maiden name. It's not actually necessary, I just don't want to share a surname with my dad, for reasons I don't really want to go in to.
Why are you crying over a James Patterson novel? Was the cheesy tv commercial too much to resist?
I don't know who James Patterson is, but anyone who steals attention away from Raymond Briggs is worthy of nothing but scorn and harsh words.
'When the Wind Blows' is about an elderly couple in Sussex, who are trying to survive in the aftermath of a nuclear attack. Spoiler: [spoiler]they fail.[/spoiler] It is exactly as depressing as it sounds.
I was going to say that it's kind of a surprise coming from the guy who wrote the Snowman and Fungus the Bogeyman, but I just realised that those are incredibly bleak as well.

I remember watching the animated movie based on the book, and yes it is very depressing. it was beautiful movie but very depressing.

Going away this weekend to a cabin in the woods of PA.
(sure sound like the beginning of a horror flick)
looking forward to relax enjoy the scenery and peace and quiet.
Ha… I have just found out that my favorite japanese wrestler (you know, from the days when I was following these things and there was a tv channel that actually transmitted these things), Jushin Liger (or Jushin Thunder Liger) is actually based on Jushin Liger, the anime by Go Nagai. And I love Go Nagai. :D
For those uninformed: Go Nagai created Devilman, Mao Dante, Mazinger Z, Getter Robo, UFO Robot Grendizer, Violence Jack, Devilman Lady, Cutie Honey, Kekko Kamen… and so on.
The whole "piloted Giant Robot" genre was started with Mazinger, Cutie Honey was influential on many magical girl shows (moving away from "a girl with magical powers" to a "girl transforming into a superheroine" thing), he also popularized horror manga… oh yeah, and you can blame him for the invention of pantyshots too, haha.
I wish I could get his mangas in a language I can understand… couple books including Devilman, Mao Dante and parts of Violence Jack have been scanlated, but other than couple of oneshots created for the american market (and a botched and not finished translation of Shin Devilman by Verotik) there was nothing in english :(
But I guess I can understand that. His art is quite heavily Tezuka inspired (especially in his 70s books) while at the same time you have decapitations, disembowelments or lots of eroticism or even porn, so it'd be a hard sell in america :P
Meh, just ranting, don't mind me.
I hate coworkers sometimes. I have a cold thanks to my daughter's daycare, and I've been coughing and sneezing like crazy today.
So two of the salespeople have made it their mission in life to walk by my office every time I sneeze/cough and go "oh crap, there you go spreading germs again" or some other WONDERFULLY witty comment.
Finally, I got tired of the crap and went over to CVS and bought some generic day-quil and some menthol cough drops.
Now I'm medicine-headed from HELL, the menthol has me feeling like absolute CRAP… I feel about 450% WORSE than I did before…
But I'm not coughing anymore. So the comments have stopped.
… next time, I'm just going to go to their offices and start coughing on everything. Maybe I'll lick their doorhandles too. GOD I feel like crap.

I'm sorry to bother everyone but I'm here to promote the drunk duck forum mafia game. the link is to the sign-ups.
and net I support custard trouts suggestion.
-edit-
Meh. My boyfriend and I are considering moving in with each other. This is not for any selfish reason. He is getting an apartment and can't afford to pay full rent and eat.
I will be quiting my RA job and don't want to move back to the dorms. But I won't have enough income to even rent an apartment without help.
His parents don't mind being that his brother has been living with his fiance for about two years now.
Course my parents are the problem. I know where they are coming from. (I haven't discussed this with them, but they sense change in the air and tell me at every turn that they do not believe in cohabitation before marriage.) My dad went as far as to say that he would entirely financially cut me off if I were to even insinuate that I was going to move in with my boyfriend.
The only way I see this affecting me is that my parents pay for my insurance right now.
<-.-> All and all I don't know what to do with myself. I really don't want to be an RA again. But I don't want to fight for a dorm room and have to stay with someone I don't know.
Since my boyfriend is an economics major and I am a math wiz, we have been number crunching. It would be cheaper for both of us to live with each other than to have our own places.
It would even be cheaper than me living in the dorms again.
<-.->
so there was a bomb threat at the entrance of campus today and traffic was held up.
there was another entrance but that was like some miles apart.
which wasn't bad because i had a bike, but what sucked is having to bike up hill and inhale car exhaust. worst feeling ever.
first half way through, i was like, "ha ha, i'm faster than you" and then the second half was like "fuck that suspicious device!"
So i guess i should actually do some comics this summer. I have until the middle of august which gives meeee…around 87 days of free time.
Comics i want to do:
The sci-fi one, around 20 pages
Cetriya's story, under 14 pages
Y:me!?, 17 pages (probably won't get around to it)
Remake Plastic, lots of work, will probly only get the first 15 pages done
Succubus porn thing, 6 pages
I doubt everything will be done for the print comic by then, and pretty much all these comics have different styles so that'll be good practice. I tweaked the sci-fi one to have a story that appeals more to teens, it's much better this way and i have an actual ending now :)
I've been asked to do a couple of commissions, on account of this whole "I'm famous for swearing on facebook" jive, and I really don't know what to charge! so I just asked for enough to cover postage and such, so I'm not any money out of pocket. I guess I need to think about this sort of thing more.
And now I have "Why do you think they call me Dash?" running through my head.
I'm not really sure what went wrong yesterday, but I was depressed, and didn't feel like ranting about it, so I wouldn't go and depress you guys. I'm so thoughtful :P
I'm better today though. I got to do my Final Exam presentation for 5th hour, and it was okay. Besides my nervous shaking while speaking, it was decent.
And I've decided I can work on the comic, AND do anatomy! Wow. What a thought!?!
Hahaha.
And this girl I've never really met before, basically put her number in my phone, and started texing me. She was like, "You're sexy" and stuff like that. I'm like, "Uh…okay? Thanks?" I mean, I've never really talked to her.
So she adds me on Myspace, and now she wants to hang out.
I mean, I don't want to be an ass to this girl, because she seems pretty nice, but I already kind of like the one girl I was talking to.
And I have NOT been keeping on my routine, sadly.
