So, I'm going to MICA next week! Yay! I AM SO EXCITED, ASKBFKBFKDGBKS938R

I have a question- WHY are superheroes taking over movies? In the past few years, Marvel has had the three Xmen films, the Blade movies, Spiderman, Elektra, Daredevil, The Punisher, Ghost Rider, Fantastic Four, The Hulk, The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man. They now have planned and in the works, Iron Man 2, an Ant-Man based movie, The First Avenger: Captain America, The Avengers, something based off of Thor, Daredevil 2, another Spiderman sequel, a Magneto based film, Xmen Origins: Wolverine and The Runaways. DC made Batman, Superman, Catwoman, Constantine, V for Vendetta, and they have the Watchmen coming out as well as Dark Knight, the Spirit, Wonder Woman, Justice League and The Flash.

Don't get me wrong. They're super fun to watch. But I suffer these rare moments of nostalgia when I remember the days of comic book heroes......in comics.

And lets get real- some of the movies sucked. I will drown myself if I have to watch Fantastic Four or Catwoman again.

Dark brown, almost black, very thick and wavy and reaches about halfway down my boobs.

PART 4: RANDOM

Ever been kicked out of a bar?
I'm just about the only 16 year old you'll ever see behind a bar (I work at a restaurant bar that a friend owns and I'm the only employee under 21).

Your dream last night?
My long term dream memories consist of varied images and clips, never fully segmented stories; I recall Penn Quarter and some lady wearing a circus-y outfit on a unicycle.

Your favorite drink?
Sangria or Lambic. Non-alcoholic, I like this punch my mom makes with seltzer or gingerale, pineapple juice and rosemary that has been steeped in steaming water.

Where did you grow up?
I lived in New Orleans until I was 6 and then moved to Maryland.

Tattoos?
I want to get a tattoo of Kokopelli at some point in my life and I want a Native-American/Aztec/Indian inspired design tattooed on the nape of my neck. I've drawn a few ideas, but have yet to figure something out.

Mom's.

youtube

MICA IS NEXT WEEK, SO EXCITED.

What are you looking forward to right now?
MICA

Part 10: IF YOU HAD TO

If you HAD to dye your hair a color what color would it be?
Darker, so black. I'm not big on my hair getting lighter, I think I'd look kinda silly.

Oh, I'm kind of excited....I think I'll actually be updating [info]everglow_icons right after school gets out. There will be Dark Knight, No Reservations, maybe Iron Man...... and definitely Avatar.

So, I have a question for the flist- I'm going to the MICA precollege program in Baltimore this summer and all of these random people I know will be there- will any of you? Because that would be awesome. Comment here if you are, so we can talk about how freaking excited we are.

Also.....I'm not sure if any of you still read Naruto, but OMFG THE LATEST CHAPTERS. HOSHIT. I TOTALLY KNEW IT.

Quick question: anyone here doing MICA's precollege summer thing this year? All of these random people I sort of know are doing it, so it'd be awesome if I knew some LJers too ;)

OKAY.

So, I know I haven't been around, but I have important news: YOU [ALL OF YOU] MUST READ "THE HOST" BY STEPHENIE MEYER BECAUSE IT IS AWESOME AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO MISS OUT. OKAY?

Seriously. I was up past 4 am last night and finished it earlier today. So amazing. And there needs to be a sequel. There was certainly the opportunity left open for it. Gah, I'm in literary heaven right now.

Oh, and I finally read "Chocolat" about a week ago and finished "The Girl With No Shadow" its sequel, yesterday- before starting "The Host". Again, so good! The story differs slightly from the movie, but is nevertheless amazing- I won't spoil anything here because I want you all to go read!!!

I wasn't planning on doing this meme, but I turned on itunes and the songs that came up.......omg. I'll just leave it at that. *perverted grin*

stolen from [info]gambitia and [info]sinspire
1. Put your music player on "random." Skip songs with not-very interesting titles (such as "Concerto #4 in E minor")
2. List the titles of the first 25 songs to come up.
3. Put "in my pants" after each title.
4. Bold the ones that actually made you laugh.
(Okay....they all made me laugh. I'll just put captions instead of bolding, sound good?)



Hope you enjoyed this insight into how horny I am. G'night!

Or my health will take a steep nose dive and I may need heart surgery.


(By the way- that "twilightmoms" site? Yeah, it is so crazy and weird, but in an "Ew-you're-a-freak-but-I-am-so-jealous," kind of way. Because guess what? Like, six of their members or more live near the shooting locations and have gotten pictures. SO JEALOUS)

HELP ME. I am in serious need of advice. So, tomorrow I have two conflicting engagements. My basketball team advanced to the first round of the playoffs. We're seated lower than the team we're playing, but we really could beat them. This would be awesome, except that I have art class at my local college tomorrow night AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. WTF. SCREW ME OVER MUCH, LIFE? Anyways, I would just miss one class, except that I missed class last week because there was so much traffic getting home from a different basketball game because of an ice storm. My mom refuses to let me to the game because I begged her for months to sign me up for the classes- but my teammates will kill me if I skip. I'm a starter, and I'm not lying when I say some of the girls on my team are so intimidating. Share your thoughts:

Poll #1140631 What to do?
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All

Disappoint teammates and risk beating/death/betraying her friends or risk the wrath of the mother unit and go to the game all sneaky like, causing familial problems that will last until college at least? Either way, bad things.

Game. It's the playoffs dude, this shit is important.

Art. You missed last week. Shape the hell up
2 (22.2%)

Stay home and cry about what each choice implicates and end up missing both

I am conflicted as well and chose this ticky to demonstrate this

Keep in mind, this will not decide me, I just want input.

UPDATE: Shithead (Poipu) is sick  
My friend is always like "UPDATE!Shithead is........<insert>." So, being totally unoriginal, I copied her. And yes, I have a horrible cold. It sucks. I'm missing a party today, and one of the biggest games of the basketball season is tomorrow. Crapcrapcrap.

In other news, I'm driving! Permitted, not licensed, but whatever. I'm still behind the freaking wheel. If I pass my test before the summer, I plan on driving to NYC for weeks at a time. Maybe I'll visit anyone who is up that way, or is visiting the city. That would be super fun ^_^

My uncle just sent me the album "X" by Kylie Minogue. I haven't listened to the entire thing yet, but I like it, so here you are.

Um, yeah. So guess who just saw the sneak preview of 27 Dresses a week early? Yeah, be jealous. You know you are. BUT IT WAS SO CUTE! Omigoodness. James Marsden and Katherine Heigl are so adorable in this movie, you should all see it.

Well, that was the essential part of my post. I now have at least four hours of homework looming over me, so I must get to work. Have a good night everyone!

EDIT: Yeah, so I tried to switch layouts, but with the no system, I've just got no dice. So I chose this simple thing, because it ain't one of the more hideous selections LJ offers. Help, please?

Cranial Meltdown  
HOLY HELL. I JUST FINISHED WATCHING ALL OF HEROES.

Question: Why did I not watch this show sooner? The suspense! Sylar....regaining powers?0_0 Nathan dead! (I always had faith in Nathan. Please don't actually be dead. But Niki can go, I don't really care that much about her. Just not Nathan.) Did they end this season early because of the writer's strike? When/is a new season scheduled? I feel like my brain is about to implode. Holy hell.....

And I'm sorry, but Adam is going to find a way out. Grow a brain Hiro, you have to learn to choke a bitch once in a while. I still love you though, your super awesome. Like a cuddly Japanese teddy bear <3

I just read "The Sweet Far Thing" by Libba Bray. SO INTENSE. Pippa.....! Honestly though, Pip, I expected it. And Fee, you are kind of annoying, as are you Gemma, at times. You gave me a full hair pulling moments. Kartik, you and I will be married. Yes?

Alright. That is all. I won't spoil it for anyone, as I know the Borders near me must have made a mistake, since the book is due out tomorrow, and I read it last night.

Also, I'm surprised I haven't seen any posts with this kind of thing lately, but I took a bunch of crazy photos of my Christmas tree lights that I'll upload for the graphic makers on my flist <3 Consider it my present to you all, and I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas or Happy Hannukah~

Oh, by the way- I got "The Wall" by Peter Sis for Christmas. If anyone who is familiar with his art wants me to scan some of the pages on, feel free to ask. For those of you who don't know, Peter Sis is an illustrator/artist who grew up in Czechoslovakia, behind the iron curtain. "The Wall" is the pictorial telling of his childhood.

I'm off to continue gorging on spritz cookies and chocolates, have a nice night!

EDIT: I got "I AM AMERICA (AND SO CAN YOU!)" by Stephen Colbert for Christmas as well. While I don't mean to offend anyone on my flist, his stuff is simply too funny not to share. I read his speech at the White House Correspondents Dinner first. I've decided to share this snippet with you:

Octo-boo!Pictures and Some Crazy Crowdsurfing  
So, I think I mentioned posting pictures from Halloween here, but I really can't remember. I was a butterfly with rainbow wings and pink hair. It was amazing, and because of it, I might have to dye my hair that vibrant shade of bubble gum. The only sad part is that most people just thought I was a fairy- the antennae didn't clue them in. Ah, well.



Anyways, the main reason for this update is this: last night, some friends and I went to a concert at the 9:30 club in DC. The bands playing were Metro Station, Mae, Anberlin and Motion City Soundtrack. Um........before I go on, I have to get my excitement out really fast. IT WAS FUCKING AMAZING. Unfortunately, for now the second concert in a row, I missed Metro Station's set. Still, instead of just meeting Mason Musso, the hot lead singer, this time, I has pictures with him. He smelled good. I met him at the other concert I was at in September, but lacked a camera.



Oh, and in comparison to that previous concert, this one was even more amazing. The energy level was just so intense; we were in the middle of the mosh the entire time. I almost touched the lead singer of MCS, I was so close to the stage. The best moshes( is that how you'd say it?"Slam dancing" just sounds too much like something a parent would say) happened during Motion City Soundtrack, and then Anberlin was next. Mae's singer just didn't communicate and connect with the audience nearly as well, so it felt dead. Still, I guess they played well. The layering of different instrument sounds was pretty freaking cool. My friends all went crowdsurfing, but unlike them, I was stupid and wore a mini skirt. I didn't think I wanted to break my record for the number of hands that grab my ass in one night, so I declined, but I am still soooooo jealous.

Some valuable things I learned about concerts where you'll be in the mosh:
- Scarves/chunky necklaces are an extremely bad idea. I nearly choked before realizing this
- Wear jeans or you will die of jealousy when all your friends go crowd surfing, some of them multiple times
- Once again, mini skirts are a very bad idea
- If you have claustrophobia, steer clear
- Likewise, if you can't deal with other people's sweat getting smeared all over you, don't go. I swear, I had other people's sweat in my mouth by the end of the night.
- Purses are a bad idea. Just take money and a cell phone.
- If you are sensitive to injuries, I'd recommend layers of socks. Also, maybe just layers in general

.......That is about it. I'll edit this with music downloads if you guys request it :) Oh, and an art/fandom update will come eventually.

I IS BACK FROM ZE DEAD (In case you missed that)

And.........

I IS GOING TO NEW YORK FOR *counts on hands* 3 DAYS!

Why you ask? Because Cooper Union is having an open house/portfolio review and I have Friday off. I'm kind of nervous about what they'll say- my low self esteemed 16 year old self is wallowing in doubts. Wish my sorry sophomore ass luck guys! I'll be staying with my Uncle in Brooklyn. He's a professional photographer so he's going to shoot my portfolio. I know that I don't need to yet, but I was talking to my art teacher and we figured it would be better to get those photos before my art was all squished, smudged and mutilated in 2 years (I'm not exactly sure why it would be, but Murphy's Law says I shouldn't have be naive and think that it will remain untouched). I may be posting those pictures, I'm not sure. I'll probably be posting some pen sketches I did in classes, just to see what you all think.

I mentioned before, tis the NaNoWriMo time of year. I signed up. Haven't started. Probably won't until next week, unless my sister lets me on her laptop for more than five minutes this weekend. I don't even half my entire plot figured out yet[/phailure]. I looked at the site, and apparently, if one were to divide up the essay evenly amongst all the days of November, each day would be 1667 words. Which means that, including today,  I'll be behind 6688 words. WOOOOOOT_T
