Rules of the meme:
1. Pick 10 of your favourite movies.
2. Go to IMDb, and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.

( no cheating! )

there are really so many more movies i could pick, but of course, i stuck with ten X)

excuse me while i revert to being a six year old
SNOW!!

BIG FAT PRETTY SNOW <3
eeeeeee!

*ahem*
ok. so now...auuuuuuuuuggggghhhhCRAP. driving to charlottesville in this is going to suuuuuck x_x
DEAR OTHER VIRGINIA DRIVERS. DON'T HIT ME.
i know how to drive in this weather, hell, i LEARNED to drive on ice, but lord knows the rest of this state can't ever seem to manage it =.=


...
i wanna go roll in it *_*

my day just got SO much better.
(omg, two posts in one day)

went for my daily walk out in the parking garage and just randomly found out that i can run.

I CAN RUN.
icanrunicanrunicanrunicaunicanRUN and it doesn't hurt!!! \o/ no stomach holding, no pain, no awkwardness, no asthma.
just...running.
not for very long, cause i'm not used to it yet and i'll need more knee strength to maintain, but still.

if i can run, i can jump.
and if i can jump, i can dance.
and DDR.
8D

Why is it that most non-religious people i know are far more tolerant of other people's faith than the religious ones? (no, not all of them)
isn't it supposed to be the other way around?

i mean, most holy scripture, no matter the sect or base, preaches about this kinda tolerance shit all the time. did i miss something?

cause its good for me to be ok with the faith of people around me, but not good for the faithful to be ok with me.
Fuck. That.

normally, this kinda thing just rolls off my back and i ignore it, seeing as i have little faith in really old dead people to begin with; but hearing some surprisingly deep rooted hate from good people, just because they think it'll spare them from hell, irritates the shit out of me.

for fuck sake children, get along.

so hey, how bout a real entry this time.

( post surgery stuffs, some slightly TMI )

in other news, no Supernatural til January :( still working on the fifty things i gotta finish drawing, coloring and otherwise FINISHING for people (but am happy to be inspired regardless)
gotta apartment hunt very friggen soon, so i'm moving NEXT MONTH. WHUT.
CHRISTMAS SHOPPING. ACK.
x___x
i cannot believe it's December.

Thanks to netflix, i finally got around to seeing Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog, if anything, to see what the hype was about and/or possibly amuse myself.

sweet fancy moses, why hadn't i watched this sooner?? XD *dies* no really, i have no idea why i'd never seen it.
i need to own this.

This took WAY too long for how much i really don't like how it turned out >:[
but oh well. i went too far to just scrap the whole thing so i at least finished, despite the fact that it wasn't how i pictured.
bah.
but after seeing the episode where Gabriel shows up (woo!) this got stuck in my head and i had to draw it. yes, there are a MILLION other things i should be working on right now, but it wouldn't let me go, i swear.

regardless, i hope people can at least tell who they are (spn people, that is) and why i thought it would be amazingly badass to draw them this way. (despite, y'know, FAILING at it)

OH HAI THAR AWESOME WASTE OF TIME
that was actually more thought-provoking than i thought it would be.
*stolen from maychorian
i'll post something real-ish that isn't a meme eventually X)

So i was actually working on this picture for the Dean/Cas Fusion challenge even before i had the thing claimed. no, srsly. someone suggested a Dean/Castiel Steampunk in that big ol list, and i was all 'screw it, if i don't claim it in time, i'm drawing it anyway 8D'
so...i did, lol.

HOWEVER, i don't think i'm gonna have the time to color it before the deadline, since i have a lot of other things to do before nekocon, so i at least wanted to post the lineart.
OMG BACKGROUND. wtf. i took from a great deal of sources and my own reference material for costumes along with airship pics, steampunked nerf guns, different classes of a gentleman vs a mechanic, yadda yadda gears 'n shit.

i had way too much fun with this X) (tho, truly, inking it was a bitch, gawd)

PLEASE NOTE: I AM BY NO MEANS AN ENGINEER
so for the guns, the car (and how no one is sitting in that backseat) and the wings, don't ask me how they work or whether or not they function cause i haven't got a bloody clue. tho i could prolly redraw Castiel's wings stretched out if i wanted to, i don't think i could give you any kind of schematic. 2d pic, s'all.

yes, the brown ink is true to the original and completely on purpose for effect. Sepia brush pens ftw. i know this looks like a great big mess of lines right now, but once i get a chance to color it (AND I AM DOING SO) it will make more sense, lol.
oh, and you don't have to mention the clouds, i've already been mocked thoroughly by my art buddies for inking them e_e oops. heres hoping some color will make them look less cartoony?

( all dressed up and nowhere to drive )

my phone is no longer a paperweight. i now accept calls, txts and cash.
that is all.

For the people on my F-list that know my phone #, just so's ya know, my phone is currently deactivated. it is pushing up daisies. it ceases to be. it was an accident by my brother while they were getting me my new phone, and unfortunately it won't work again until i take it to an at&t place and MAKE THEM FIX IT. damnitall.

Email would be the easiest way to reach me until then, please don't bother poor happytemplar, she's not my secretary. yet. At least until i get all of this crap sorted, stick with the email.
gawd i hate phones. XP

Oog this week X__x

so far, i'm halfway through my first week of being officially back to work. full days and everything. hasn't been as difficult as i thought it was going to be, though there's been some juggling about what to do with figuring out the protein shakes i need to get in, along with taking lunch everyday. i never did that before, but hey, whatever's easy on the wallet, right?

on the other hand, because of all the protein i've been taking in (not to mention the still healing thing) i can only go for about two hours before i HAVE TO GET UP and walk around or something. I used to be able to go a full day without getting up from my desk for anything aside from food or bathroom. it's weird actually having energy. totally not angry about this, tho i gotta make sure i still get my work done in the process, lol.

eating is still weird. but peanut butter no longer hates me. HUZZAH.

Zombieland is my new favorite movie. no, srsly. totally gonna be a zombie for Halloween X3

was having kind of a blah day today which ended with me picking up my mail and finding a bill for the hospital that's around $600 :( which, unfortunately i knew was coming, it just wasn't nice to see.
HOWEVER, i then proceeded to open the rest of my mail which included a check from my insurance for the short term disability for work (SCORE) along with a letter from where i bought my car telling me they got my final payment.
the car, my Gabe, he's officially all mine.
8D
OH HAI SILVER LINING
that, and hanging out with friends tonight cheered me up immensely. if only my scar hadn't been hurting all stupid day. how very harry potter of me.

despite everything tho, i've been in pretty high spirits throughout everything. i have my bad days, but i've been more positive lately than i have in YEARS. <3

hurray for thursday! and for the weekend, looking forward to hanging with moar friends and being outdoorsy. should prove interesting, especially since i'm GETTING A PUMPKIN. WOO!
*dances* it's that time of year again!! *gleeeeee*

now if only this friggen Steampunk picture i've been drawing for the Dean/Cas fusion thinger would just ink it's own damn self e__e as much as i missed being a detail whore and have been having way too much fun steampunking the Imapala...aaauuuggghhh innnkkkinnnggg

speaking of steampunk, i've got a costume pulled together for Nekocon that i'm totally gonna sport. 8D stupid, nerdy excited doesn't even begin to cover it.

oh hai gaiz! :D

sorry for the internet silence lately. i didn't mean to worry anyone, I've just had a week of no internet (oh the horrors), and have been trying to get myself to do other things with the time i have off from work. not that i can do much, but it's the principle of the thing. of which, i actually go back to work next wednesday ^_^ not a bad thing, i'm kinda looking forward to rejoining the rest of the world. and feeling better, that would be awesome too.

still healing, still getting used to all this new stuff and goings on with me. my brain and my body aren't all too happy with each other right now, but we're workin on it. sleeping still kinda sux mainly because i sleep mostly on my stomach, and seeing as there's a great big incision there, that's kinda not happening yet. tho my staples are out, and they told me that everything is looking great :3 so yay! no infections plz k thnx. they also told me i had already lost 13 lbs, but that was last thursday so i haven't a clue about now.

i stopped taking the pain meds two days ago, so i can officially drive again *glee*

eating is...weird. my meals are very small and are limited to things that can be thoroughly turned to mush before swallowed. no sugar. i'm on a timed schedule to help me with everything since i don't really get hungry yet, and i'm in almost a constant state of drinking. otherwise, it's not too bad. i started out thinking i would be hungrier with so little, but my stomach really IS that small now. bizarre.
eating out isn't so hard either. i sure as shit spend less.

but all in all i'm ok :3 i get exhausted really quickly, unfortunately, because i'm still not yet used to how little fuel i'm taking in. i'm also tired most of the time simply because sleeping is such a chore. laughing and sneezing don't hurt as bad as they did before (srsly, first time i sneezed after surgery, i was in tears, omg) tho i still have to hold my stomach when doing so, lol. each day is better than the one before, so that's a plus.

i've had a shitload of support. from both family and my friends and i love you all for it and cannot thankyou all enough. for those who came long distances to see me right up with those who are down the road and haven't stopped coming, i <3 u guys so fucking much.

the next few months are gonna be interesting.

on the plus side, i've found some mojo for drawing/coloring and FINALLY finished with tracy_loo_who's bday present (woo!) apologies for it being so late darlin! but a very merry belated birthday to you <3 hope you likes ^__^
warning, snuggling angel/man love. you heard me.
( HERE TRACE, HAVE ART )

ohhhh, also also, so, there was this fantastic fic i read in the renegade angel exchange on the dean/cas comm that was incredibly impactful to me and inspired a picture that forced me to do *gasp* a background AND perspective. WHUT.
the fic is called In the Silence After, is an apocalypse fic, and is gut-wrenchingly sad, but VERY well written. (dunno who wrote it yet!) i love this kind of inspiration.

so the pic actually came out kinda awesome and i was really proud of it what with the hatching fun tiems and all. BUT. EVEN BETTER. aesc agreed to do a collab with me on it and proceeded to work her magic and make it SO MUCH MORE AWESOME.
She posted it in her journal here
(sorry for leeching your link hon) and i srsly love what an amazing job she did. I LOVE COLLABS. SO.MUCH.FUN.

oh, and for the record? I love my show. srsly, srsly gaiz, apocalypse and sorta!zombies ftw. now one of my fav episodes and it was written by the creator of The Tic. I LOVE THIS. (SO MANY L4D REFS. I THINK BEN EDLUND PLAYS IT. gawd i miss that game ;.;)

and damnit fauxfaia, why'd i listen to you and watch Glee? cause now i can't.friggen.stop o_o

Just dropping a quick note on here to let everyone know that I am ok :3

i'm home from the hospital, with my mom taking care of me, and so far so good. aside from it being really damn painful (duh), everything is fine. they told me at the hospital that i was doing better than normal and aside from my oxygen levels having issues, there were no problems they were concerned over.

thankyou everyone for your emails, your comments, txts and calls. i appreciate it all more than you'd ever believe <3 truly.
haven't been taking many visitors, but that's just cause i'm grumpy and achy and i keep falling asleep. lol. it'll get better as the days go, then i can start seeing people again, promise.

love you all!
(and i have some really awesome scars, btw. mwahaha)
<3

the obligatory 'night before' post, i guess.
wow, that kinda rushed up on me. yikes.

So tomorrow i go into the hospital for an open RNY surgical procedure (aka, gastric bypass). i'll be there for three days, two nights, so long as everything comes out ok and i'm doing ok. then i come home and will be off work having the crappiest three week vacation in the history of ever.
its gonna hurt, i have no allusions to think otherwise. but hey, getting shot would be worse. (i assume)

my mother is coming to stay with me til sunday, which has its pluses and minuses really x_x i love that i'll have someone to help me that i trust (and don't feel so bad asking for help) but on the other hand...it's my mother. she can't help but send my anxiety through the roof, it never fails, and she's going to bend over backwards to make sure everything is done according to her methods of healing. which is gonna drive me batshit by friday, i'm betting. drugs or not.

but anyway, i'm ok. :3 am keeping positive, and not really planning things to a tee cause really, it's easier if i don't. nothing's going to go right to plan, and that's ok. i'll work with whatever. i've been very VERY lucky that i have some of the best friends a human could ever ask for <3 srsly, there's no way in hell i would have gotten through this month without an ulcer or a hemorrhage or something if not for my buddies, and i love you guys so fucking much because of that. *gush*
happytemplar deserves a fucking medal for dealing with my crappy moods. srsly.
if i don't make it, you guys get first dibs to pillage my shit. tho cremate me with my markers, damnit.

i'm pretty sure i'll make it through ok. i've got a good Doc, all the tests say i'm 100% healthy (which i totally didn't believe, lol, but someone with a doctorate says so, it must be true). i'm young and i do pretty good with teh healing from past experience (considering how accident prone i am). i really do think i'm gonna be ok :3

but don't get me wrong, there will be plenty of bitching to come.

tl;dr, this month sucked, surgery is soon, and i'll come back online next week and let everyone know i'm still alive X) promise.

and i have cleverly ended this otherwise bland and depressing post with random art, just to fool you! (warning, kinda big and cartoony)
( HA, TAKE THAT )

anywho, i'm gonna spend the rest of the evening distracting myself, pretending to be productive and preparing for when my mother arrives x_x SO MUCH FUN, I TELL YOU.

Everyone stay classy til i get back. <3
i mean it, i expect the awesome to wait til i return. e.e

SO, I has a PSP now.
Never thought that would happen, lol. But happytemplar upgraded her fine self and was kind enough to pass her previous one onto me. woot. i love free stuff! :D

HOWEVER, this is effective if (and only if, really) i actually have some games. Somewhere either in my place or happytemplar's place, is my Bust a Move. which is an awesome game, but i needs moar.

any recommendations?

i love puzzle games, but not something that requires me having to buy a textbook to figure it out. not too big on the fighting/brawl stuff.
anybody ever played LocoRoco? I was looking up Katamari for the PSP (wow, that's expensive) and that one showed up too. is it any good? also, anybody actually play/own the PSP version of Katamari? I heard it was crazy hard...
i was eyeballing Patapon too. anyone got any hands on with that?

Just for shits and giggles, i randomly checked out the next installment of Silent Hill, which is actually coming out for the PSP too. i love that series, tho i've never really been able to play it since i'm not all that good at it, lol. so no, i have no allusions of thinking i'd be able to play this one, but curiosity beat the cat. at least, until i read this:

PRODUCT FEATURES:
The game watches you and adapts to your actions to create a unique experience to each player and intensify their fears.

The Game Watches You.
WHUT.

so about them puzzle games? 8D

Christie took me out randomly tonight and I bought movies. thus, my day is now SO MUCH BETTER.
not to mention, there was only one copy left of the SPN season 4 at best buy. and, well, i was gonna wait...but it was sitting there all alone...
AND NOW ITS MINE.

that, along with sister act 1 and 2, speed(lol) and the omen for five bucks each. I LOVE BEING SO EASY TO PLEASE.

both of my brothers called me tonight <3

i work a lot of this weekend, including the monday holiday, but that's ok. i'm gonna have so much time off after the surgery that i'll be bored shitless anyway. here's hoping i actually write something while i've got the time...or draw, that'd be cool too.
i haven't drawn smut in ages. :O

useless post is useless
but hey, movies.

I know it's kind of obvious how desperate I've been to distract myself lately, but this is just going to be another one of those things that I need to share.

http://inbflat.net/

do please check it out and play, preferably if you've got headphones or speakers available. this has gotta be one of the more beautiful things i've come across on the internet <3

my next week is filled with doctor's appointments, an attempt to put everything in order that i'll need for before and after surgery, and basically trying to keep my head on my shoulders. (along with cleaning before my mother gets here) i've gotten to the point that i get sick almost every day now, but thankfully i know its just nerves and not a virus or anything. just too much to think about.

writing and drawing have been practically nonexistent, but it doesn't stop me from trying.
gawd i am so friggen tired.

but i'm ok :3 truly.

13 days til surgery.
and 7 days til supernatural. oh boy!
