SOMEONE OUT THERE MUST LOVE ME. Apparently the crap set-in-L.A.-instead-of-NYC/real gangs remake of The Warriors ISN'T HAPPENING ANYMORE. :D AWWWWWW. Now if people would just keep their gross, grubby, unoriginal mitts off of Clue and Legend and Labyrinth (I wouldn't be opposed to a film of Return to Labyrinth though, but you have to get Bowie), then the world might be a better place.

SAM WINCHESTER IN THE SUPERNATURAL SEASON 4 PREMIERE. HE IS SO GIANT AND SAUCY.

I've decided I think Stephen King should write the next Star Wars book. Chewbacca gets buried in a special cemetary on some backwater planet where he COMES BACK TO LIFE AND STARTS KILLING PEOPLE. Then the ghosts of Anakin and Jacen harass their sister until SHE COMMITS SUICIDE. Han and Leia and Allana go to find the mysterious mystery of the Falcon and end up in some sprawling building on Fondor where HAN GOES BATSHIT AND TRIES TO KILL LEIA AND ALLANA WHILE ALLANA IS TALKING TO HER FINGER AND CROAKING REDRUM. Jacen's ghost YAMMERS ENDLESSLY IN TENEL KA'S HEAD AND THEN TENEL KA GETS MAULED BY SOME FREAK-JACEN-SOLO SUPPORTER. Tenel Ka gets Allana back and they meet Kyp Durron who is this older gentleman and they totally get all cozy with each other until TENEL KA GETS SHOT IN THE HEAD BY HER SUBJECTS AND KYP IS TOTALLY FREAKED OUT. Zekk, Jacen, Anakin and Raynar go on an overnight trip out in the woods to GO SEE A DEAD BODY.

Oh oh oh and we can't forget -- the Jedi Academy has an event where 100 younglings have to walk for as long as possible and not fall under 4mph over three times or else they get SHOT IN THE HEAD. IT'S A PART OF THEIR TRAINING, YOU GUYS (Kyle Katarn = the Major).

Yes sir. YES SIRRRRRRR.

Also, when Michael Phelps/Cullen Jones/Jason Lezak/Garrett Weber-Gale did the whole gold medal thing on the 400m freestyle, did anyone else think Phelps was totally screaming, "THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAAAAH!!!111"...? I was thinking, "LOL ARE YOU KICKING THE SMACK-TALKING FRENCH ALAIN BERNARD BACKWARDS INTO THE POOL OR WHAT?"

So the new cd by The Faint is pretty hot. It took a couple listens to get into it but I would definitely have to say "Forever Growing Centipedes", "The Geeks Were Right" and "Fulcrum and Lever" are my three favorite tracks -- the last of which will give me nightmares forever. XD And the lyrics to "The Geeks Were Right" are totally love. <333 Heeehe~

OKAY. So Dragon*Con is now 28 days away and I'm currently flipping my shit. I still need to remake the asscape (<333) for Tempest Tenel Ka, make the Whole Damn Tenel Ka Queen dress (why do I have a bad feeling about getting that done) and the Whole Damn Maid Marian cloak. Good news: Peter had gotten a lot more bloody and Lisey's towel and garland are done. Therefore, DONE: Peter McVries, Chris Chambers, Lisey Landon, Little Sister -- ALMOST DONE BUT NOT QUITE: Shmi Skywalker (need to rip up and BLOODIFY), Tempest Tenel Ka (asscape!) -- NOT DONE: Queen Tenel Ka (the ideas for this are SO YAY THEY MAKE ME HAPPY but I need time to get them done, so we'll see if it actually happens), Maid Marian (I believe the cloak will be half-assed and not a pattern).

I will be making an update to The Death Stars site this weekend (and probably the last before D*C), so if you still want in on the group SEND ME YOUR PROFILE INFO (aka drop a comment here with it or respond with it in this thread). So then I can make the final updates on the profile section and once the convention is over turn the site into a YAY LOOK AT US BEING DUMB IN THESE PICTURES, like the Mission to Myrkr site turned into once CIII was over. :D

One day I'm gonna go stay in the Stanley Hotel.

The neoclassical hotel was the inspiration for the fictional Overlook Hotel in Stephen King's novel The Shining. While he and his wife were staying at the Stanley, King conceived the basic idea for the novel. The 1997 television miniseries version of The Shining was filmed at the Stanley. In May 2006, investigators with The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS) investigated the hotel for the SciFi Channel program Ghost Hunters. TAPS returned to the hotel on October 31st, 2006 for a live, six hour follow-up investigation.

I WOULD ROLL AROUND ON THE FLOOR IN THAT PLACE AND BE LIKE LOL STEPHEN KING AND THE GHOST HUNTERS! Also, would totally ghost hunt myself. :D WOULDN'T SLEEP. ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY.

And here's your daily fun from The Long Walk:

Baker: "Move away. Or I'll poke you."
Barkovitch: "It's against the rules. Keep it in mind, cracker."

Alright, there was always the subtle Garraty/McVries vibe in The Long Walk, it couldn't be ignored. I know there's actually squealing fangirls out there who are all over Garraty/McVries -- but these parts do nothing to help the two of them get away from this. Somewhere inside of me there is a little voice absolutely squealing for Garraty/McVries = OTP too. For real.

They fight like a married couple -- it's like they heart each other, but bitch and snipe ALL THE EFFING TIME.

(This is one of my absolute favorite passages from any book EVER. It's so Peter. I also adore Ray's: "With a face like mine? I thought you perverts liked the willowy type." OH MY GOD PLEASE MAKE THE SCRIPT OF THE MOVIE AS CLOSE TO THE BOOK AS POSSIBLE. PLEASE.)

    "You're all crazy," Parker said amiably. "I'm getting out of here." He put on a little speed and had soon nearly disappeared into the blinking shadows.
    "He thinks we're queer for each other," McVries said, amused.
    "He what?" Garraty's head snapped up.
    "He's not such a bad guy," McVries said thoughtfully. He cocked a humorous eye at Garraty. "Maybe he's even half right. Maybe that's why I saved your ass. Maybe I'm queer for you."
    "With a face like mine? I thought you perverts liked the willowy type." Still, he was suddenly uneasy.
    Suddenly, shockingly, McVries said: "Would you let me jerk you off?"
    Garraty hissed in breath. "What the hell--"
    "Oh, shut up," McVries said crossly. "Where do you get off with all this self-righteous shit? I'm not even going to make it any easier by letting you know if I'm joking. What say?"
    Garraty felt a sticky dryness in his throat. The thing was, he wanted to be touched. Queer, not queer, that didn't seem to matter now that they were all busy dying. All that mattered was McVries. He didn't want McVries to touch him, not that way.
    "Well, I suppose you did save my life--" Garraty let it hang.
    McVries laughed. "I'm supposed to feel like a heel because you owe me something and I'm taking advantage? Is that it?"
    "Do what you want," Garraty said shortly. "But quit playing games."
    "Does that mean yes?"
    "Whatever you want!" Garraty yelled. Pearson, who had been staring, nearly hypnotized, at his feet, looked up, startled. "Whatever you goddam want!" Garraty yelled.
    McVries laughed again. "You're all right, Ray. Never doubt it." He clapped Garraty's shoulder and dropped back.
    Garraty stared after him, mystified.
    "He just can't get enough," Pearson said tiredly.
    "Huh?"
    "Almost two hundred and fifty miles," Pearson groaned. "My feet are like lead with poison inside them. My back's burning. And that screwed up McVries doesn't have enough yet. He's like a starving man gobbling up laxatives."
    "He wants to be hurt, do you think?"
    "Jesus, what do you think? He ought to be wearing a BEAT ME HARD sign. I wonder what he's trying to make up for."
    "I don't know," Garraty said. He was going to add something else, but saw Pearson wasn't listening anymore. He was watching his feet again, his weary features drawn in lines of horror. He had lost his shoes. The dirty white athletic socks on his feet made gray white arcs in the darkness.

(BEAT ME HARD. XD)


And when Garrarty mentions something that happened when he was younger, something a teenage boy would probably be like, "OKAY WAIT WHAT?" at -- he doesn't balk at it one bit. And sure, Garraty could just be talking shit and going crazy, but what he says doesn't faze Peter for a second cause he's too busy worried about HIS BABY.

( Jimmy and the clothes-off incident, more McVries yayness... )

MAKEOUT, Y/N? WHAT DO YOU CALL IT? McArraty? GaVries? Reter? Pay? I'm kind of a fan of McArraty.

And when Peter's little sister is all, "PETIE'S GOING ON AN ADVENTURE~!" Petie. Petie. My heart totally broke for that little girl cause she had no idea Petie's adventure had a 99% chance of her brother getting a bullet to the brain.

I feel a fanfiction coming on. D:

(WHEN DID DRAGON*CON GET TO BE 29 DAYS AWAY? OH MY SHIT, I HAVE WORK TO DO.)

So you all know me and you know I've talked the book The Long Walk by Stephen King Richard Bachman up to death. I had my poll about it a little while back and I know some of you have read the book and know the characters (HOLLA BITCHES) -- but this soundtracky musical thing popped into my head and had to be built. I guess you could call it a fanmix. Or maybe four mini-fanmixes? I don't know. I have a fanmix for the whole book here (and just had to carry Peter's song over from that one), but I had to give specific love to these boys again, because I will never have enough of them. So here are four little mini-mixes of doom. Six songs for each of the four Musketeers.

The angry teenage boy in my head is very happy in an emo and pissed off sort of way. And yes, I almost said -- "the angry teenage boy inside me" -- ZING.

Anyways, click the title outside of the cut (under the picture below) for The Whole Fanmix. There are four .zip files under the cuts that contain each little mini-fanmix on their own, if you only want one or a few. I suggest the whole thing though since it makes one big coherent ANGRY TEENAGE BOY BITCHFEST. :D

(Also, River + Lou + Zac + young!Jensen = YAY <3)



THE FOUR SHOT -- A LONG WALK FANMIX; for the musketeers.
[ because i love sitting down in front of the tube with
a tv dinner and watching adolescent boys walk to their
deaths -- reality tv at it's freakin' ass finest ]

( RAY GARRATY / #47 )

( PETER MCVRIES / #61 )

( ART BAKER / #03 )

( HANK OLSON / #70 )

Oh, this book. <333333333~

Parker: "Shit. What a dipshit state this is. Goddman trees everyplace! Is there a whole damn city in the whole damn place?"
Garraty: "We're funny up here. We think it's fun to breathe real air instead of smog."
Parker: "Ain't no smog in Joliet, you fucking hick. What are you laying on me?"
Garraty: "No smog but a lot of hot air."
Parker: "If I was home, I'd twist your balls for that."
McVries: "Now boys. Why don't you settle this like gentlemen? First one to get his head blown off has to buy the other one a beer."
Garraty: "I hate beer."
Parker: "You fucking bumpkin."

McVries: "Olson! Hey, Hank!"
Baker: "Why don't you leave him alone?"
McVries: "Hey Hank! Wanna go for a walk?"
Olson: "Go to hell."
McVries: "What? What choo say, bo?"
Olson: "Hell! Hell! Go to hell!"
McVries: "Is that what you said."

McVries: "Prince Charming, that's who I am. Now all I need is a Sleeping Beauty. I could awake her with a big sloppy soul kiss and the two of us would ride away into the sunset. At least as far as the nearest Holiday Inn."
Olson: "Walk."
McVries: "Huh?"
Olson: "Walk into the sunset."
McVries: "Walk into the sunset, okay. True love either way. Do you believe in true love, Hank dear?"
Olson: "I believe in a good screw."
Baker: *cackles*
Garraty: "I believe in true love."


I will never get over the dialogue in this book. It never gets old. Neither do these boys. <3333333

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

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.

WHAT WHAT WHAT? TEEHEHEHEHE~

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.

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

LOL, I love people (who call themselves Stephen King "fans") complaining about Lisey's Story. There were some choice ones on IMDB today. Hahaha~

"UGH. THE LANGUAGE IN THIS BOOK. AND IT WAS SO ANNOYING THE WAY IT JUMPED FROM FLASHBACK TO FLASHBACK WITHIN A FLASHBACK AND OMG THIS BOOK SUCKS SO HARD IT HAS NO STORYLINE. WHAT THE HELL IS A BOOL? WHAT WAS KING THINKING WHEN HE RELEASED THIS?!?"

Don't bash it because you're too DUH DUH WHAT? to follow it. Sure, the timeline jumps around a little. But it's not like it's that hard to follow.

Here is Lisey Landon in 2006. Here is Lisey thinking about something that happened in the past -- which is Scott telling her about something that happened in his past. It's not that fucking difficult.

Just because there's no clown or dog or car after the main character's blood doesn't mean the BOOK IS HOLY CRAP HORRENDOUSLY HORRIBLE.

GROW A BRAIN. And the next time you call a friend or a loved one by a nickname I will be sure to say, "UGH YOU ARE HORRIBLE AND YOU SUCK. WHAT WAS YOUR MOTHER THINKING WHEN SHE HAD YOU? YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE YOUR OWN WAY OF SPEAKING TO PEOPLE YOU'RE CLOSE TO. YOU'RE A CRAPPY HUMAN."

:|


SPOILERS FOR LISEY'S STORY BELOW, HUR HUR.






(Also, in defense of Scott Landon and his deteriorating poise and grammar in his speech about the Landon family, I'd like you to talk normally to your wife when you tell her about your thirteen-year-old brother going insane and your father shooting him in the head -- and then your father trying to kill you with a pickaxe -- and then later taking that same pickaxe to your father's skull while he's sleeping -- and all this happening while you're ten years old. I DARE YOU TO TALK NORMAL. D:)

This movie never ever ever gets old. And it's time for my yearly pimp of it.

If you haven't seen Stand By Me RENT IT RIGHT NOW. It's so damn heartwarming and sweet and hilarious. I have seen it a billion times and I still laugh my ass off every time they're sitting in the junkyard and every time they do the train dodge and every time Gordie shoots the loaded gun behind the diner and every time they sing in the treehouse to Vern -- and allllllll the time. <3333

Oh Billy~! -- LITTLE KIEFER SUTHERLAND LOL.

The Train Dodge -- this is one of the most classic scenes ever.

"...you use your left hand or your right hand for that?"

"YOU wish."

Plus, the look on Vern's face when he goes: "OH SHIT."


I always cry like a bitch at the end of this movie. D:

It also contains one of my favorite lines from a film ever, said by Teddy: "I'm gonna rip your head off and shit down your neck!"

One of the best King adaptations as well as just one of the best movies in general. <33333

("LEECHES!")

NNGGGHHH, ABNEY PARK IS GONNA BE AT DRAGON*CON. :O If I had a dollar for every time I gothed out to the song, "The Wake" while I was totally anti-social in middle school I WOULD BE RICH. And now they are marketing themselves as a Steampunk band.

The band's live show has been performed across the U.S. with dates in the works throughout Europe and Australia. During their performance, fans — dressed like the band in Victorian adventuring attire, corsets, gators, bowlers, flight helmets, goggles, leather safari vests, big boots, et al — can expect clockwork guitars, belly dancers, flintlock bassists, Middle Eastern percussion, violent violin, and Tesla powered keyboards blazing in a post-apocalyptic, swashbuckling swirl of Steampunk musical mayhem.

LOL WE'RE TOTALLY GOING TO THE SHOW AT D*C, YOU GUYS.

Hahaha, omg one of the logos for Mysterium this year -- it's in Boston -- this is absolutely amazing. SIRRUS = LOVE. XD

AND. I MIGHT ACTUALLY READ A COMIC BOOK. OH MY SHIT. RANDALL FLAGG SO NASTY. <3333 MUAHAHA~

There's a very long pause while he watches the smoke from his cigarette rise out of the lamp's beam and disappear. When he speaks again, his voice is dry, flat and certain. "Daddy cut deep."

She opens her mouth to say something conventional that will put an end to this discussion (all kinds of warning bells are going off in her head, now; whole banks of red lights are flashing), but before she can, he goes on.

"Anyway, that's not what you want to ask. Ask what you want, Lisey. Go ahead. I'll tell you. I'm not going to keep secrets from you -- not after what happened this afternoon -- but you have to ask."

I WANT TO MARRY SCOTT LANDON. D: AND HIS SAYINGS. AND HIS BOOKS. AND HIS HAIR. AND HIS UNDERTAKER'S SUIT. AND HIS WIFE.

After I finish the rereads of the other two Myst books (finished Atrus yesterday -- Atrus and Catherine are so absolutely precious it hurts, dude) I'm totally rereading Lisey's Story... and Bag of Bones......... and Duma Key.

Heeeeeeheeeeeeee~


(oh oh oh and it's so horrible whenever The Book of Atrus mentioned Catherine's black hair and green eyes I was like, "lol chick kyp/zekk/jag")

SOMEONE PUT THE DARK HALF ON YOUTUBE. I STILL WANT THAD'S BABIES. I love the way he's like, "lol alexis machine, you asshole." The evil looks he gives that tool are amazing. And him playing with the pencil. asdkfjakdsjfksjdfks. His dorky sweaters and total clumsiness make him extra YESPLZ. XD

MUST NOT GET DISTRACTED BY THAD BEAUMONT, MUST GO TO SLEEP.

STEPHEN KING ON VIDEO GAMES. We had to do a speech in our 12th grade English class like right in the last week of high school FOREVER AND EVER. It was our final -- and this is exactly what I did my speech on. XD

The first thing I said was: "How many of you have played video games from the Grand Theft Auto series?" I got like more than half the class with hands raised. "Now, how many of you have gone out and killed someone because of it?" No hands and lots of wide eyes. I went on after that to bitch about stupid, ignorant parents and stupid ignorant parent's hatred of video games. I GOT ME AN A.

In other news, I have a mild crush on Chef Ramsey. I'm serious. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the way he calls everyone donkeys, or the way he says awesome phrases like, "Oh fuck me sideways!" Which, of course, comes out as "Oh *BLEEP* me sideways!" But dude, he can totally cook his crazy gourmet food for me whenever and I will eat it no matter how weird it is. Padma Lakshmi is hot too (I love her scar), but Top Chef just doesn't have that ANGRY TRASH CAN KICKING EFFING DONKEY SHUT-IT-DOWN YOU STUPID BARBIE vibe that Hell's Kitchen does. <3

So my plan for Myst (my #2 game on the GVGH08) was to go out and buy the el cheapo DS version that was supposed to come out tomorrow so I could play through that before going to bed for a couple nights -- except they pushed the release date back to May 13th or something. And my PC and laptop are both "too new" to run the original game. I also don't have the right graphics card to run realMyst. This means I have to go up on Mom's computer and play it.

And that means either trying to install it on her computer, or trying to get my gametap password sent to me. Cause I haven't been on that thing in so long that I don't remember it. I'm not even sure I remember my screenname and that's the lame part -- to get them to remind you of that you have to call them. :|

YO, STAR WARS COSPLAYERS AT DRAGON*CON THIS YEAR: Anyone know when you're wearing your stuffs yet? I think the Star Wars Zombies group is gonna be Saturday night -- but what about all the Expanded Universe costumes? ANYONE KNOW WHEN THEY'RE WEARING THEIRS YET? :O

HOTTEST WALLPAPER EVER LEON I LOVE YOU D: -- wtf Ashley Graham is such a tool. XD And I want Ada's babies. I need to icon this. O_O


SFJKFJD THE WHITEST KIDS U' KNOW. BEST LINE EVER: "I'm going to play her a prostitune on my whoremonica."

Also, this skit is awesome ("BECAUSE HE HAS BETTER THINGS TO DO WITH HIS LIFE.") and I love how everyone on the WKUK IMDB board is like, "I am a guy and I think Trevor makes a totally hot chick! Maybe that's why he doesn't get in drag as much as the other dudes." Trevor is the chick right in the middle and he really does make a kind of attractive woman. Heeee~ <3


And this is one of my absolute favorite Stephen King quotes in the history of ever:

"Do I have my own history of violence? Yep. In my novels the body count is usually high, and in two of them — The Stand and Cell — I managed to wipe out almost the entire population of Planet Earth. In one book (Firestarter), a guy is persuaded to stick his hand into a whirring InSinkErator. In another (Cujo), a little boy dies of heat prostration after being menaced for days by a rabid dog while stuck in the family car. In my own defense, I can point out that I have also written heartwarming books where people return from the dead. Usually to eat the living, it's true, but surely that is a quibble — a miracle is a miracle."

HAHAHA YES <3

I realized I never properly pimped this beast out on here -- Castle Rock. Kind of a Stephen King board that'll have real discussions and stuff on his works one day -- but for now see_aphy_be and I were pretty much using it to get all of the King characters voices out of our heads. King characters are really fun to RP. Especially when they have no idea what's going on and run into dead friends of theirs. GO ANGST AND AWKWARDNESS!

Saturday night was pretty funny -- Ronnie, Erin and Jeremy came over and brought me Burger King cause they knew I couldn't leave my dressed/drugged up cat (THX U AGAIN, D00DZ <3) and then we watched the end of Wicker Man (the Nic Cage one), which we made fun of, naturally. "BEES BEES IN MY EYES BEES IN MY EYEEYEYEYEYESSSSSS!!!11" And then we played the new Super Smash Brothers and Ronnie killed me while we were trying to get Sonic by playing the "omg story mode" by singing his own Sweeney Todd song -- "I FEEEEEEEL YOOOOOOOU SOOOONIC~~~" I woke up Sunday morning singing it. D:

At least we got up to Luigi (we'll get you one day, Sonic! :O) and I got to see his frighteningly fruity dance moves. I love him so hard. LOVE, I TELL YOU.

If there's one thing that can get my mind off of anything and everything, it's a good book.

And this is me professing my love to Stephen King's brain again. I finished Duma Key at 5 this morning. All I can bring myself to say is Wow. Actually, make that WOW.

(When Edgar when back to Big Pink alone right near the end and found who what he expected, duuuuuude. ;-;)

You know The Long Walk is my favorite King book ever -- but Duma Key, Lisey's Story and Bag of Bones are all trying to claw it out of the top spot. D: These three books are holycrapsomuchawesome and I love his books that are like this. The ones where there's no actual super-serious immediate visual threat (such as dog/dead pet/car/crazy ass possessed husband/clown/randall flagg/guns/alter-ego killing machine/etc., not that I don't love those, but you know what I mean) -- any immediate visual threat (such as John Dooley/"Zack McCool" or Max Devore) are by far nowhere near the worst thing that the main protagonist (Edgar Freemantle/Lisey Landon/Mike Noonan) has to face (although I would argue for Lisey and the... can opener).

The protagonists are effing incredible, but it's also the life he puts in the main supporters -- like Jerome Wireman, Scott Landon and Mattie Devore -- that absolutely kill me. Jerome and the gun and the fruit -- plus Jesus-Krispies ("Wireman, did you just say Jesus-Krispies?" -- "Don't change the subject.") -- Scott and his bools, his bloody hand, his new underwear promise and Boo'ya Moon. Mattie and little Kyra, and how damn optimistic she could be even after all the shit Max (and that hole of a town) put her through. sdjfjadkfjaskfjdsdaf MY GOODNESS.

Not to mention Elizabeth Eastlake (her family), Perse (*shudder*), Ilse (._. <333333), Jack Cantori ("Jack Cantori ripped the seat of his pants. Now shut up a minute."), Amanda Debusher (Southwind), Paul Landon (oh my gawd the GROWLING), Jo (what was in her purse D:), Sara Tidwell (her fate) -- I could go on and on forever about this TRIPTYCH OF AMAZING.

But the bottom line is this. If you've read two of them, finish out the three. If you've only read one, pick up the others. If you haven't read any, go for it. They're heartwrenching and haunting and absolutely gorgeous.

"Beautiful. I may cry. Listen, Wireman..." <3)



And oh my crap yo -- SK: "I think that both The Mist and 1408 from last year are really good movies and both are based on shorter works. When you get a long book it’s kinda like trying to stuff everything into a suitcase and that can be very difficult. Duma Key has been optioned for movies and it may actually become a movie but I was surprised that it happened because it’s a story that has so much plot in it, it would really have to be simplified. Lisey’s Story on the other hand would make a great TV miniseries if it was done in the right way." I would absolutely die of happy.

My mom and I started watching Twin Peaks last night. We've watched four hours of it so far. Really effed up so far. Which = awesome, by the way. And holy crap, James Hurley is the most emo-emo to ever emo in the history of the emo-culture. He was emo before it was fashionable. Every time he's on camera he has these huge puppy eyes and this pouty lip and he's just like "D: WAI WAI LAURA PALMER D: D: D: EMPHASIS ON THE D:~"

Also, Deputy Hawk is hot. Bobby has amazing hair but he is kind of a dick and a half. Aaaaaand that's damn good coffee. AND HOT!

OMG WTF HAHAHAHA. People on the Stephen King IMDB board are talking about who they would cast as Duma Key characters.

Let's see, I'm about up to the part where Edgar just finished his lecture, so I think I have a good mental image of Jerome Wireman by now, yes? He is described as tall and tan with black hair (graying a tad) and green eyes, YES? RIGHT?

So let's see who these people on IMDB say should play Wireman -- TOM CRUISE, BILL MURRAY, MORGAN FREEMAN. WHAT, WHAT? and WHAT??? HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH DID YOU GUYS EVEN READ THE BOOK LOL.

There are some damn good quoteable lines in that book, by the way. So when I have my copy down here I must share. XDDDD

Also, big bag of :( for Gary Gygax. Dude, nerds wouldn't be as cool as they are today if it wasn't for him. The Penny Arcade comic was the best tribute to him cause it was fitting and nerdy all at the same time. It's also weird that I just watched the Code Monkeys episode last week where Todd takes kidnapped Molly Ringwald to Gary Gygax. O_O


P.S. 2008 has been awesome so far! First the cyst the size of a tennis ball eating my insides for a straight month and now a sinus infection! Woooooo antibiotics!
