I'm pathetic, shocked and squealing!

I wasn’t going to post anything today because I have found a hobby that takes up a lot of my time: I’m re-watching all of my Gilmore DVDs. Yes, I’m pathetic. Really, really pathetic. From season 1 to season 7. *ducks head in shame I think I need a life. But I was taking a break and decided to share a couple of videos that had me shaking my head or squealing. So here goes(and my opinions to go with them, ‘cause, honestly, this is called ramblings and what would the world be without my opinions?):



This is a real trailer for a real movie. At first I assumed it was a joke, but, nope, it’s a movie. I get the fact that it’s a comedy/horror(according to imdb, other sites say it’s a dark comedy or whatever) but seriously what the fuck where they thinking? A movie about a girl that has teeth in her…This is a must see.

Here goes the second clip, which is far less shocking then the first.


Is it just me or would a bed that starts moving in the middle of the night would be weird? I’d probably wake up screaming “It’s an earthquake!” Or maybe that’s the whole point of the bed? You stop snoring because you wake up? But anyway the house looks amazing(I so want a button to draw down my curtains-yes, I’m that lazy) and the mini-printer looks so cool that my first thought was-predictably enough- “I want one!”. I’d have absolutely no use for one but still…the coolness factor makes it worth my money. Other then that I’m not very impressed by anything, but I’m neither an avid gamer, nor a Star Wars fan and the camera would be pretty much useless to me, since I forget to even take pictures, much less film shit so…yeah. But I want the printer! Hint, hint…my birthday’s coming up(it’s in November but hey, not the point!).Oh, and is it just me or did the guy in the picture that the other guy was editing looked a lot like Mark Harmon?

And just a thing that I need to get out: Fuck the WGA, NBC and everybody else that's to blame for me not getting to watch the Golden Globes! Stupid idiots! You're taking everything away from me!

Oh, and to end this approprately, have a gilmore quote :D
Jess: What's this white stuff?
Luke: I think it's cheese ... or cream.
Jess: What's this green stuff?
Luke: I think it's best picked off.

New fanfic because I'm crazy

Ok, so it goes like this. At the moment I’m writing 3 fanfics. Two of them are multi-chapter, no end in sight, kind of stories. The third one is just something I write when I need to relax or have a cute idea, so updates are rare. This takes up a lot of my time because I’m an obsessive editor and everything needs to be written and rewritten until I’m satisfied which takes quite a while. But last night I was bored and felt like writing but not the ones I should be writing new chapters for so I started a little one-shot, which I finished in about half an hour(but didn’t post because I basically sucks but I just wanted to write it). As I was writing this a few scenes popped in my head and decided to write them down as well(maybe not quite scenes but mostly bits and pieces of dialogue), thinking I could find some place to get them in at some point in one of the previous fics. But they have their own mind and with them came a new story, which is basically different then the others, a bit darker and definitely more NG-17 at times. Oh, wait, did I mention that this story is at the moment mostly in my head? I wrote the first two chapters and I’m in the middle of the third because it keeps bugging me(really, I need a life) and again, there’s no end in sight and furthermore I have no freaking clue on how I could ever end it but the first 10, maybe 15 chapters are pretty much lined up in my head and waiting to be written. Great. Just what I needed. Seriously, my ADD will drive me crazy someday. But I’ll see how the writing goes and decide if I’ll post it or not. ‘Till then I have to get new chapters out before someone comes after me with a baseball bat. And because I’m in the mood for a little shameless plugging go check my fics there -> http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1302984

Oh, and here’s the one-shot ‘cause I don’t want to post it on fanfiction yet but if I let in my computer I’ll forget all about it’s existence and I might want to post it someday so why not share it here as well. It’s Gilmore Girls(duh), short, sweet and Literati(because I am incapable of writing anything else).

It is

I never could have found the words to describe it. What we were…it was different. It was nothing like the movies say it should be, or like the books proclaim it is. It wasn’t butterflies in my stomach or hearts doing cartwheels. It wasn’t romantic candlelight dinners or long walks on the beach. It wasn’t ordinary and it wasn’t anywhere near pure. It was fire, longing, burning, madness, lust, breaking but more then anything else it was love. It was dancing on the inside and Frank at the Sands and maybe even the three stooges masks. It was never much. It was love.

“Wat’cha thinking about, Ace?”

This wasn’t it. This should have never been. I just wish I had figured it out sooner.

“I’m tired, Logan…”

“Then go to bed.”

“I’m tired of us.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“I can’t do this anymore…I’m sorry.”

I get out of bed and start throwing clothes into a bag, while he watches me, surprised and annoyed. It is me leaving.

“You’re serious?”

“We were never meant to be. I’m sorry if I’m hurting you but I can’t waste anymore time.”

“But…I love you.”

“I’m sorry.”

It is me standing in the door and waving sadly goodbye to the cozy life I had next to the blond man still looking at me in disbelief. It is opened doors and breathing freely for the first time in forever. It is me driving as fast as the speed limit allows me to get to him. It is me, standing with a bag in my hand in front of his door. It is hope that it’s not too late. It is me, knocking and praying that there’s still a chance. It is his face and crooked smile and tired expression. It is the lack of surprise on his features, it is the fact that he always knew what I had just figured out, that we were it for each other.

“What are you doing here, Ror?” It is that syllable that I hated in any other voice then his.

“I miss you.”

“Come in…”

It is a door shutting behind us and hope and unsaid promises.

It is right. It is love.

I'm bored.

Ok, so as the title suggests I am bored out of my mind. I could do something useful but that would go against everything I stand for. And the empress Bo-Bo Bell forbids it(if you get that one you are my new best friend). So, since I am bored I have decided that I need to comment on the fact that yet another Sutherland has joined the actor gang. It’s Kiefer’s little bro, Angus. Like anybody needed another Sutherland…I get confused already when I think about them. But, on the bright side at least it wasn’t a Baldwin.

Britney Spears has finally gone officially insane. I’d write the story or comment on it but I don’t care about her and the fact doesn’t surprise me at all. But I was watching reruns of The Tonight Show from 3 or 4 years ago and she was on and she said that the ideal age for her to get married would be 25, to which Jay Leno replied with “so in 3 years we have every chance of seeing you married, with 2 kids and living in a trailer”. Or something of sorts. But the man can read the future! She’s gonna be in a mental hospital or at least under pshych evaluation for the next 30 days.[sarcasm] I wonder what the conclusions will be[/sarcasm].

And as an ending I decided to share with you two of my favourite quotes from Gilmore Girls:

*they’re in a pub and it’s folk night
Folk singer[singing]: Met her on the mountain -
Finn: Met her.
Colin: Cool, the girl on girl thing.
Folk singer [singing]: Where I took her life -
Colin: It's a snuff film.
Finn: A lesbian snuff film.
Folk singer [singing]: Met her on the mountain -
Colin [disappointed]: A redundant lesbian snuff film.
Folk singer [singing]: Stabbed her with a knife.
Colin: How INXS missed her, I don't know.

*a guy picks on them for picking on the folk singer
Colin: Boyfriend.
Finn: Brother.
Colin: Or both, he could be Southern.

I love Colin and Finn.

If you want to watch the whole scene here's the youtube video(Gah, I hate Logan-just needed to say that)

My computer is a spoiled brat(and university news)!

I swear that the damned thing will drive me crazy someday. It really will. And whoever said that machines don’t think or don’t have personalities is an idiot. Story: Wednesday night I was home with a couple of friends and I turn off my computer to plug the DVD-ROM in(because for some reason my DVD-ROM doesn’t read CDs anymore and for another reason they don’t work at the same time, even though up until 2 months ago they did). Ok, so I unplug the computer, connect the DVD-ROM and then I turn on the computer again. And crickets. After 10 seconds it starts making this beeping sound(kind of like how bombs do in movies or other things that will self-destruct soon).Unplug it again(the on button doesn’t do off). Beeeeeeeeeeep again. Beeeeep-beeeeep-beeeeep. Unplug it again. I wait for it to cool off, even though I had just turned it on less the 4 hour prior. Turn it on again and the beeping starts again. After repeating this procedure a couple more times I give up and go on to making college lists( I’ll get to that in a few minutes). Yesterday night I come home, turn it on again and the beeping starts again. By now I was making all kinds of scenarios in my head about losing my love. After a few more beeping tries and plugging and unplugging various cables, ‘cause maybe that will work, I am on the verge of a nervous breakdown so I watch some TV to calm down and then start again. The fucking beeping again. At this point I had no clue what to do so, since I’m weird and totally obsessed with my computer, I start to clean it. I don’t know why…it’s just something I do if I can’t actually be online. So I finish cleaning it and then plug it in. And the damned thing starts! Apparently the baby just wanted to be cleaned(keep in mind that it didn’t need cleaning- I do it every few months to make sure it doesn’t get to dusty). I have no clue what happened…but I’m glad it’s working now.

And now on to my university news. I made the final lists on which unis I wanted to apply to, after a very careful consideration. We had a very rigorous selection criteria( can anyone smell trouble from that sentence alone?) which were: place on the Guardian’s university list, student satisfaction according to a list I found on BBC.com, size of the university itself, number of students compared to the number of staff members(if there’s one thing I learned from Gilmore is that you should never ignore that…the more staff members the cleaner the uni), size of city,---everything sounds so serious and well thought out so far but don-t worry it will change soon--- proximity to Sheffield(the city were the World Snooker Championship takes place), prettiness of both the city and the uni, nightlife and another category were we added and subtracted points based on absolutely no criteria( again, I shall explain this category later). Everything was well round up(if anybody thinks that you can trust my math skills) and the final 5 were chosen out of the 10 we started with(understandably I chose only uni that offer a forensic science course). Now before I announce the winners I must explain the last category(the list was compiled with the help of some wine). We added points for…weird reasons. Each city got 10 points if a snooker player lived there. The one in Scotland lost points because…well, it’s in Scotland. It also lost points because the cover of the prospectus was a very bright pink but it one 10 points for it’s name(Dundee…imagine just how many Crocodile Dundee jokes I could have made). Another town won 10 points for the funniest coat of arms(it was a sheep holding a cross…guess who came to mind). Google Preston coat of arms and you’ll understand why it’s the funniest thing ever(it’s the third one on the first page, first row-or look up Preston on wiki). But Preston also won some points for the fact that 2 years ago the snooker Grand Prix was held there. You get the point…if I wanted to add or subtract points for any real or imaginary quality or fault that was the place to do it. In the end the winners were(from the 5th place to the 1st): UWE Bristol, Nottingham Trent, Bradford, Kent(which won points for the fact that it has the same name as the cigarettes) and…drum roll please…Leicester. Now I’m hoping I’ll get into Leicester(as it was my first choice, even without the list) but I’ll be happy if I get into even one of those. Wish me luck and I’ll keep you posted.

And to end this I just had to post the amazing comment of the vice-mayor of Bucharest, when asked about the fact that the whole town is covered in snow: "The snow problem will be solved when it gets warmer". Gee, thanks.

I hate New Year resolutions!

Ok, so I really do hate them. Let’s be real, how many people do actually stick to them? Every year we are bombarded with tens of thousands of ads, emails, blog entries, websites all telling us that this is the time to make that change we’ve been wanting to for months. Pft! Give me a break. Browsing one of the forums I’m a member of, I saw one of these lists. One girl or guy had, among other things, the following : “learn Chinese, German, French, Spanish” and some other language! I mean come on…We all know you’re not going to do it…there’s no way in hell any normal person would have time to learn 5 different languages to a decent level in a year! And there were 12 or something like other points on that list. I read that people are going to quit smoking, lose 50 billion kilograms, stop drinking, go out more. All crap. Not one of them is going to actually do every damned thing on their list. Most people won’t do one thing on their list. But for at least another week we’ll keep hearing that it’s never to late to start or stop something. Like there’s any point in giving up smoking at 80. Or whatever. I’m pissed. Whomever decided that the New Year(why do we spell it with capital letters anyway?) is a great moment to do something was a moron. It just sets us up for disappointment when another year goes by and we haven’t done any of the things on that list. You might also notice that smart people tend to avoid that by conveniently losing or forgetting the damned resolutions.
I don’t have a list. I don’t have a resolution. I’m perfect?

Why do people think Americans are stupid?

Well, this video doesn't give us any freakin' clues...they all seem pretty bright to me.

Yes,I am particulary bored this fine morning and browsing stupid clips I saw months ago...New Year's spirit I think. I would post something more but nothing I could say could sound the least bit intelligent after those true pearls of wisdom. God bless America...some of them need it!

Merry almost Christmas!

Yeah...so I'm going shopping in about twenty minutes ad by the time I get back I'll probably be grumpy and pissed again so I decided to just wish everybody a Merry almost Christmas now and share a little of the great Christmas music(yup...I'm a sucker for pretty holiday songs):


I hope Santa brings everyone what they wished for a something more!
Merry Christmas!
(Yup...I have enetered the holiday madness in the past two hours. For the past two weeks I've been worse then the Grinch but this morning after watching, ironically enough, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" I'm very cheerful and, dare I say, excited! I love this day!)
Now off to shopping, my darlings, before everything shuts down and I'm left gift-less.
