Ode to the tasty ice creamith and swimmingesess.

Tuesday, June 27, 2006 -- 10:35 pm
Mood: Too hot. Summer? Pfft. Lame.

What do you get when you cross awesome ice cream with even more awesome Nestle Crunch chocolate bars? A joygasmic taste explosion in your mouth, that's what. It just goes to show third time's the charm; after our first two failed attempts at buying delicious cold treats from the new Marble Slab here in town, tonight WE FINALLY PREVAILED!!! Admittedly, there was a bit too much vanilla and not enough chocolate Crunch in my ice cream tonight, but that can be easily rectified next time with a second mixing of chocolate chips. *Throws back her head and laughs maniacally* Unfortunately, I believe that the weight of all that tasty ice cream upset my bowling game afterwards in the most horrible ways which included losing to people who claimed to suck hardcore and DID NOT. T_T

Last night I went swimming~! YAY! It's been almost two years since I've stepped foot in a pool, which is very sad because it really used to be one of my only forms of exercise. *Lazy fool* In any event, Brock, Tracie, and I flopped around in the H2O for a couple hours; I flipped out repeatedly over the big green ball and the floaty hippos; and Tracie and I were stalked by a creepy old and very leery man. With the obvious exception of the creepy old man, fun swimming times. We need to all go to WEM this summer and frolic in the waves~ =D

Check it out, I'm so envious of this dude's 3D talent that I want to poke his eyes out with sporks. *Wants a 3D Grievous of her very own so badly it hurts* --> GTV <--

Oh, and have I mentioned yet this summer how disgustingly hot it is outside? Yeah. Totally hot. Not fun. I did carts the other day at work and when I got inside I thought I was going to die. *Melts on the pavement* Fuck heat, man. *Punches it in the face*

Day off, wheeeEEEeeeEEEeee~!

Friday, June 2nd, 2006.

Yesterday I went out with Chelle to WEM and purchased myself a pretty summer dress from Winners, of all places. I love it though, the bottom is all swishy when I twirl around~ X3

I've been trying to pick a favorite Dinosaur Comic, but they're all to freaking awesome so I can't. Instead, everyone should start reading them all with me. *Adds link to Regularly Visited list*

>_< I've had all this free time during summer so far and I haven't done any drawing at all yet. *Shame* I have to go doodle Grievous or something.

This is the first post of the rest of my life (or the four months of summer vacation which I shall have it back for.)

Thursday, May 4, 2006 -- 11:09 pm
Mood: Free as a bird~

But for the mean time, school is officially over! YAYAYAYAYAY! *Hand flail* This excites me to no end, you have no possible idea. In light of the sudden total absence of school as of late, I probably should have posted earlier, but I've been too busy lounging around doing dick all, so you know, what are you gonna do. I also don't really have anything spectacularly exciting to report either, but I'll try to think of something, or at least make some stuff up.

I'm psyched for Saturday, in which we're all gathering together in a giant orgy mass for LaserQuest. I plan to rain some hellish LaserQuest doom on at least a couple people who have never played before and thus are worse than me; and if all else fails, I have a plan B which basically involves locking on the first random child I see roaming about the maze and following him around and shooting him for the entire game, so I can score some respectable point-age so I can avoid looking like a complete noob.

We've also begun planning a camping trip to the cabin for the Canada Day weekend in June/July, which is equally exciting. Hopefully the water won't be green and algae-covered. >_o

OMGZ they're opening a Marble Slab in St. Albert! XD It's probably not going to be the most healthy or money-saving thing that's happened to me, especially since it's right by the bus station so I could, in theory, buy five dollar ice cream every day after school. ¬__¬

So I've been seriously considering the option of buying a new car. My poor little Cavalier needs so many repairs and is so rust-eaten thanks to my years of horrible car-neglect, it's almost more worth my money to just bite the bullet and buy something new that my dad won't have to fix something on every couple of weeks. The only reason I haven't already is because I really don't want to take out student loans next year for school. . . >_< WHY IS MY PROGRAM SO HIDEOUSLY EXPENSIVE?! *Cries*

I was tagged by my sister to do this a long time ago, but I kept forgetting to post it. Hopefully everyone I know are lesser slackers than I. Anyhoo, the first player of this "game" starts with the topic "5 Guilty Pleasures" and people who get tagged need to write an entry about their 5 Guilty Pleasures as well as state this rule.

1. Buying chocolate cake/cookies/brownies/anything and sneaking it upstairs to hide in my room so I don't have to share it with anyone.
2. Reading my favorite chapters of fan fiction over again instead of doing homework.
3. Tuning into the last five minutes of Trading Spaces just to see the before and after versions of the renovated rooms.
4. Watching the "Next Time On (Insert show title here)" and/or movie trailer previews. Also, spoilers. Books, movies, shows, whatever. I want to know absolutely everything before it happens! XD
5. Wearing dressy shoes, not for how they look or match my outfit, but because I like the clik-claky sound they make on the floor.

Aaaaaand. . .I tag Lancalot, Melissa, Seanathan, and anyone else who actually updates their blog. Gooooo. . .NOW.

It's official, this girl is my god. Grievous & the Peeps.

Also, improveverywhere.com for anyone who has some time to kill (lots of reading, but really funny.)

IT IS ON.

Mood: For once not doing homework!

So even after reading all the horrible movie reviews for it in the newspapers, Lance and I went to see Ultraviolet last night. The tempting lure of the very sight and concept of Matrix-like space ninjas from the previews made it simply impossible to resist, because really, how can you possibly go wrong with ninjas? Much less, space ninjas? And so we went in to the theatre optimistic, or at the very least, figuring it would be one of those movies that would be so bad that it was actually awesome; you know, like the Godzilla movies. . .or Star Wars. *Fanboys pelt her to death with Boba Fett bobbleheads* In that respect, Ultraviolet managed to EXCEED ALL OF OUR HORRIBLE, WORDLY EXPECTATIONS.

Examples of the running commentary which ensued:
"Why do the ninjas shatter like they're made of glass?! Why are her clothes and hair changing color?! How is she defying gravity, and what does it have to do with the miniature exploding sun on her belt?! (Better yet, Lance, WHY DO YOU KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT?!) WTF, the virus makes you a fucking vampire?! Why does everyone have fangs except her until the last five minutes of the movie?! OMGZ, random Japanese yakuza! Holy shit, where did they get the flaming swords?! "You got Hemophage blood on me. It is on."

We laughed the entire way through. It was two free movie tickets well spent.

Now for something else funny. VG Cats #188. So horribly, horribly, gruesomely funny. . . =D

I'm starting to hone my newfound Magic skillz. (You know, for a big noob anyway. So that is to say I still suck. But at least I understand what my cards mean.) YAY, MAGIC!

I'd just like to express how much I love how the creators of Penny Arcade, who have been long-devoted PC users, are now literally joygasming in their pants about how much they love their new iMacs. It just goes to show, we can eventually convert anyone. We're like the Borg. "Resistance is futile." *Shoots herself in the head for making a Star Trek joke.*

Speaking of which:


Which PA character are you?

Right on. Well. . .except for the pie part. . .

So I finally received my #86 Insider magazine in the mail with the Grievous articles in it that I've been nearly killing furry kittens in excitement to read. They were sadly disappointing. I think I pretty much saw the big let down coming when the article started out with: "Once upon a time. . ." =_= No new pictures, just redrawn versions of the promotional images -- not even a glimpse of an unmasked Kaleesh. No Kaleesh cultural or species information. Nothing in-depth about Grievous' family.

Worst of all, it was written like a bad fan fiction. They went so low as to give Grievous a female Mary Sue warrior comrade who died tragically years ago, like all Mary Sue's do, in which Qymaen mourns for forever and a day and renames himself "Grievous" because he is destined to "grieve forever" over the loss of her. OMG. Gag me. They turned him from such a incredibly interesting, three-dimensional character with so much potential to give a good story to; and made him your boring, run-of-the-mill, angsty brute. All of the official SW writers must take lessons from George Lucas himself or something. I think a little part of my soul was just raped and left to die. What a way to completely ruin a good character. For the first time in my fangirly life, I'm choosing to flat out ignore the canon material and stick with Heimchen's version. (Speaking of which, whenthehellisshegoingtoupdateOMG.)

That was my rant. I'm done now. Moving on. . .

Hmm. Actually, I can't think of anything else interesting to note. Ooh, except that my birthday is in one month and we're going to go to Yuk Yuks again and I'm going to book the entire weekend off and YAY! *Deep breath*

Shit, and my archives are still not fucking updating. I actually went through the trouble of adding them manually to the list, and now they've disappeared again. WTF. Anyone out there have any idea what the hell is going on?

Links and quizes and related hoo ha.

Mood: Bored

I am. . .

Pure Geek
17% Nerd, 73% Geek, 21% Dork

For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.

You scored better than half in Geek, earning you the title of: Pure Geek.

It's not that you're a school junkie, like the nerd, and you don't really stand out in a crowd, like the dork, you just have some interests that aren't quite mainstream. Perhaps it's anime, perhaps it's computers, perhaps it's bottlecaps, perhaps it's all of those and more. Your interests take you to events and gatherings that are filled with people you find unusual and beyond-the-pale, but you don't quite consider yourself "of that crowd." Instead, you consider yourself to be fairly normal.

Which, you are.

Congratulations! You're the one on the RIGHT!

The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test

Wow, way to totally nail me right on. Geek is the new chic, bitches.

On the topic of my pure geekiness, I just received the previous two issues of Star Wars Insider magazine in the mail, which don't really interest me and will probably be going in the recycle, but it also means that #86 will soon arrive on doorstep choc filled with Grievous goodies and will make me explode. *Excitement* *Geek barometer raises into the red zone and begins to squeal dangerously. People frantically evacuate.*

Okay, I know I've said in the past that I love St. Albert and don't particularly want to live anywhere else, but fuck that. Holy shit, I want to live HERE. Sure, I have a hundred million dollars to blow, why the hell not? (DIBS ON JAPAN!) They have another bunch of islands shaped like a freaking palm tree. It's nuts. I like just watching all the videos through out this site, it's like one of those crazy sci fi movies where they talk about creating utopia, complete with fancy background music (because obviously all perfect utopias come with inspirational background music.) PRETTYYYYY! XD

So I'm going to get totally PWNED on Friday night when we all play Magic. I'm going to go in there with my noobie green and white deck, and either Lance, Melissa, or Brock -- or all three of them in a riotous gang bang squad -- are going to ass rape me all up and down the street. :x I have to start getting good, fast. Or at the very least, moderately competent at understanding what the cards even say. It turns out Mandi hasn't played either, so she's going to bring her beginner deck to school sometime, and we can hone our newfound Magic skills together maybe. Ooh~ Melissa, maybe sometime you can come for lunch and teach us poor saps how to play~!

I'm so bored. . . Our Business class was cancelled so I've been trying to kill and hour and a half with blog postage and watching Escaflowne, because Chris returned my DVDs to me today so it is conveniently at hand. (I am watching anime at school, this feels like it's overstepping the bounds of my acceptable geekosity for a day. . .)

More quizzes! (Okay, I think I've done of these before, but god help me, it's Jackie freaking Chan.)

No Snape lovings for me. . . *Minus ten points* Then again, no Hagrid or creepy Voldemort lovings either, so um, YAY. *Plus eleven points* (You know, unless it's Ralph Fiennes in that billowy cape thing, and then all bets are off.)

OMG, LOOK, A PIGEON! *Ducks in*

Thursday, February 9, 2006 -- 12:01 am
Mood: Happy~ (school stress put on hold for tonight due to technical glitches)

Once again, it's been almost a month between posts. I blame school. You should blame school as well. You should all form a crazy, riotous mob and go down there and kick school's time-grubbing ass. I'll buy you the best of Canadian donuts and hot chocolate. (Because, really, what kind of riotous mob doesn't ♩ always have time for Tim Hortens? ♩) ←Free, shameless product advertising. I was supposed to be doing homework tonight, but my USB drive fucked up some how and I don't have the files I need, so I took that as a sign from the whatever from high atop the thing above that I should post on my blog!

So there's been lots of stuff I've wanted to make note of on that was all well and interesting at the time, but might not be so much anymore; but I'll just be a nerdy goob and -- in no particular order -- outline some of the finer (or worst) points of the last few weeks anyway, because else wise I won't feel as if I'm doing my blog justice after so long a lapse in updates. Peachy? Fab, baby, fab. Here we go.

I found music video mod for the Star Wars: Battlefront II video game that is, well, let's just say, it rocks my world in every possible way imaginable. One of my most fangirly whims come to life (in a manner of speaking,) Grievous on drums. *JOYGASM!* He is SO AWESOME. See, now if I was actually any good at 3D, that's what I would be making in class. T-T I also watched the Revenge of the Brick short from LEGO, which also rocked my world in awesome ways (but obviously in a much more adorable chibi way.) Tell me that he is not the cutest little butchering cyborg you've ever seen in your life.

And taking advantage of the convenient segway, I finally received my sexy $400 prosperity check, and I'd decided before hand that half of it was going to be much-earned splurge money. . .and so. . .I buckled and bought a Hyperspace membership, which automatically makes me the biggest, non-Star Wars fan nerd to have ever lived. I need to have access to the Grievous background articles they're releasing this month! I NEEEEED THEM! See, that's the thing. I could care less about the movies, and George Lucas can suck balls, but Grievous has become one of my newest character hobbies. I'm not a Star Wars groupie, I'm just a raving fangirl.

OMG, I received a JUROR SUMMONS. AGAIN. T_T *Twitch* This isn't fair. My sister has never gotten one in her life. My mom has never gotten one. I have now received two in one year. Let's just say I'm a little annoyed and leave it at that for now.

I'm really looking forward to this weekend, I get to spend so much more time with Lance finally~ With this weekend, and Valentine's Day next week, and Reading Week after that, that equals lots of amazingly awesome free time that we can spend together! Seriously, this once-a-week quality time deal so far sucks on so many levels, you cannot imagine. T_T

I got another raise at work, so now I'm making $11.00! HUZZUH! *Rolls around in her extra .50 cents.*

Last Monday the fire alarm went off at NAIT and we were ushered outside without jackets to huddle in the freezing cold for half an hour, until our first two period teachers told us to just take off for the morning. So me and group of people from my class went to Smitties for tasty pancake breakfasts, and then Mandi, Julie, and I trolled around the mall for an hour. It was good times. I really like the people I've met at school; we're going to try to arrange a potlucky type thing and game night for sometime during Reading Week. I'm determined to introduce them to Zombies and Ninja Burger, muh ha HA!

Hmm, my archives are no longer updating automatically. . . Something sinister with Blogger is afoot. I shall have to investigate. *Scowl*

All right, it's midnight and I need to go to bed, because six hours of sleep is just barely cutting it for me, people. I can barely walk at 6:15 in the morning, let alone function and process coherent thoughts. *Vanishes*
