EXCELLENT. as long as it all works like it should.


ps: i got to atlanta. it's hot.

pps: how creepy is the wording on that "Facebook < We will figure out who you are" option for how to comment? JFC, LJ. DNW.

ppps: i hate the new lj banner. the old one was amazing. >:( LJ >:(

I pretty much celebrated my birthday already; day before yesterday with my friends, and yesterday with my parents. Today, cousin Mark is tagging along to see the Blue Angels, and we're going to do touristy things with him until our dinner reservations, so that'll be fun. (And then I'll come home and have another online concert party, omg.) So, I did presents last night, and it was very very low-key (meaning instead of wrapping paper, it was shipping boxes): NEW HEADPHONES! They're super awesome DJ type headphones, and my old ones broke so I've been wishing for new ones since I went to Oregon. \o/ Also: the sequel to Havemercy, Shadow Magic. I'm rereading Havemercy and I haven't gotten very far yet, so it'll be a little while before I even start Shadow Magic, but exciting nonetheless. And finally: updated version of Final Draft, which is a scriptwriting program that I've been wanting back on my computer. I haven't had it since my other laptop died, and now that I'm taking a scriptwriting class, I'm kind of going to need it, lol.

Last night... Last night, oh my god, you guys, that was amazing. I mean, it would've been amazing if I'd been looking at stuff all on my own, but with... what, how many of you? several, idk! anyway, with all of you guys there, either on twitter or lj or gchat, that just made it spectacular. ♥ I love you guysssss. My hands were srsly shaking at some point, and my face got stuck in this expression: :DDDDDDDD Same time tonight? I've got the group chat thing figured out now, so if you want to join in on that, my gmail is silentdescant, and if you're online tonight, I'll add you.

Now that I've got the mushy part out of the way, I can move on to the superficial: FRANK SHAVED AND HAS AN AWESOME GUITAR AND CONTINUES TO BE MY FAVORITE. MIKEY AND TORO WERE CRAAAZY INTO IT. GERARD HAD A FUCKING TAMBOURINE. BOB! (Bob needs to show up in more pictures. :\ BUT STILL, HE WAS THERE AND THAT'S WHAT COUNTS.) CORTEZ IN THE BACKGROUND! ALL THE WIVES AND FRIENDS IN ATTENDANCE! NEW SONGS (which I want to heeeeear)! OPENING WITH GIVE 'EM HELL, KID! ENDING WITH HELENA! &THIS BAND;

1. GO READ THE THIRD INSTALLMENT OF UNHOLYVERSE. and if you haven't read Unholyverse, GO DO THAT. It is by bexless and it is amazing and owns my soul. Even if you're not into bandom at all, you should read this fic. It is seriously that amazing. It's like C-verse for lotrips, only with less kinky sex. hahaha

2. I don't think I posted about this (though I twittered/facebooked/flailed at people in gchat), but I FINALLLLLLLY finished writing my BBB fic. Yeah, I know it's almost the end of the month, shut up. IT WILL GET EDITED, I SWEAR. Just.... very very quickly. :\ BUT IT'S DONE, and that's the point, and it's something like 57k and it's EPIC, OKAY, and I am still in love with it and cannot WAIT for you guys to read it.

3. I reinstalled my drivers and managed to fix my audio and DVD-player computer issues. THEREFORE: LOTMS TONIGHT. It was great, and the video wasn't even jumpy and stuttery. I LOVE THIS BAND.

( 4. I fucked up my journal layout, sorry; 5. school is so close to being done I can taste it. )

6. I still have 2 Dreamwidth invite codes. Comment or send me a message with your email address if you want one.

okay, i am officially... here.

i am silentdescant on:
livejournal
insanejournal
dreamwidth
delicious
twitter

am officially sick. most likely with the flu. and i think i was having auditory hallucinations last night. it sounded like someone walking over gravel with plastic grocery bags on top, so kinda crinkly and stuff. but the footsteps never faded away, so it was like someone walking in place. and none of the rest of my family heard it, so. O.o am on drugs now.

i was so dead yesterday afternoon that i completely forgot to do my online physics homework. oooops. and today i have 2 writing thingies due, which i haven't started. more oops. but at least my italian test was postponed until monday, and physics was easy today because he just drew a bunch of stupid-looking pictures on the board and didn't really explain much. but now i've eaten some soup, i have 'the archer' on my kindle, and am gonna go take a nap.

oh, yesterday, my physics teacher came out of the classroom and started talking to me and cute physics guy (we'd been chatting for a while), and he started telling us about learning the building blocks that'll be useful throughout the series of classes (of which there are 3) and i felt guilty about not taking the class next quarter, like, really guilty, but then i thought about how i've been doing so far and it almost erases my guilt. because seriously, i can't take another class with this guy, about this subject. it's just not happening.

also, i've been thinking about going friends-only. fic will remain public, of course. but i think i'm seeing the appeal of f-locking. something to think about, anyway.

Okay, I've officially joined up. I'm moondom over there. Now if only I can come up with a sufficient plot.... By the way, RunAway finished at a hundred or so words over 50,000. So I know it is possible for me to write something that long. :P

The 'my webpage' link goes to my other journal, moondom, which was last updated... at the end of May. So don't think you're missing anything by not having that journal friended, and if you do (for some reason) friend it, don't be worried if I don't friend you back. I still love you. :)

If you're participating, let me know and I'll add you as a writing buddy!


eta: ok, I think I've got a plot. Briefly outlined. Hopefully there's enough material there to make it to 50,000 words.

Also, I've taken off the link, because I've encountered a bit of a paradox. I can't link to silentdescant from there, because I want to keep it available for my family and friends to check out the profile, and if I link to moondom, it'll just confuse people because there's really nothing posted there. so, if you're a lj-er, just know that over there I'm moondom but over here I'm silentdescant, I guess. *shrug* whatever.

what the FUCK happened to my layout?!?!?!?! DON'T DO THIS TO ME, LIVEJOURNAL.


eta: what, now it's all better?! what. the. fuck? QUIT PISSING ME OFF, LJ.
