with words I thought I'd never speak

I discovered today that my lj birthday was on on the 5th. I don't really pay attention to these things, but a couple of you just celebrated lj anniversaries and I wanted to check when mine was, and I was surprised that it was just now. I've had this journal for four years, as of two days ago, and I've grown so much in that time. I got it so I could post lotrips fic, and even though I've moved on, I still can't quite let go of that fandom. I've met some incredibly talented, intelligent, creative people in lotrips and now in bandom, and it's been amazing. I've learned so much from you all, and I feel priviledged to have you all in my life. My experience with lj has been wonderful, and I honestly can't imagine leaving. I'd miss you all too much! Seriously, you're some of the greatest friends I have and I'm so thankful that we can all share our lives with each other like this. I love you guys.

Warning: RAMBLING AHEAD OMG. You might regret asking me stuff. Just so ya know.

Choose 7 of my interests for me to talk about, and/or ask me to choose 7 of your interests for you to talk about (either in your own post or in comments).

( astronomy, freedom of speech, billy boyd, lyrics, the beatles, dom's hands, raquel )

Raquel just posted transcripts of our post-Dom on the Late Late Show chat. instead of reposting all that, I'll just link you to hers.

GO HERE FOR THE INSANITY

omg we are so insane. ;D

and we're also recruiting members for a future Dom/Craig community, btw. LOL

PS: apparently I hadn't made an insanejournal yet, only a greatestjournal. anyway, now I'm on both of those, both with the name silentdescant, so friend me there if you'd like.

there are so many things that have contributed to my insane gleefulness today. here's a few:

The Incline of Trees (formerly lotruniversity) is being updated with edited, complete posts on Tuesdays and Thursdays. *cue MASSIVE FLAILING and possible SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION*

It's confirmed: Eric Bana and Karl Urban are going to be in Star Trek together! (link via legomyarrow) For those The Archer/The Flag fans on my flist, MAJOR YAY.

push_pull_push has been updated, and OH MY GOD, if you're not reading that fic yet, YOU SHOULD BE. It is seriously hot, both this chapter and the story on the whole.

Brokeback Mountain came in the mail today, so I can FINALLY WATCH IT. (soon, anyway)

I've written a History Boys ficlet, a CSI ficlet, and a bdsm-y Monaboyd ficlet, and they all just have to be edited before I post them. \o/ Also, I posted RunAway today, which is always a source of great yay.

I think my SCAD essay is nearing completion. I sure as hell hope it is, anyway.

1. Today, on the way to school, I was nattering on about something (my mom was driving), and suddenly I said "GOLLUM!" The car in front of us had the license plate "GOLLUM" and the thing that goes around the license plate (I dunno what it's called) had the end of the ring poem, "one ring to bring them all / and in the darkness bind them." hahaha, my mom said "Oh look, there's another LotR fan." :P

2. I dislike the subject of slavery. I don't hate it, at least not as much anymore, but I really don't like it. I mean, of course I don't like slavery, but I don't even like the topic of it, intellectually. Religion, on the other hand, I have some interest in. I'm not very religious myself, but I find the subject very intriguing. So, what do I do? I start writing a fic about slavery. *headdesk* I do have one in progress about religion too, though. lol

3. Math class. Precalculus. Trigonometry. So far, it's not been anything too difficult, and the instructor is nice and young and he explains things pretty well (even though I still had to ask my dad for help understanding my homework). I'm worried that it's going to get hard really fast, though. >.< I hate five-day-a-week classes.

4. Italian. The teacher (professeressa) loves my last name (which is Italian). She talks in Italian a lot, though. More than I expected for the first week of classes. And she doesn't explain everything she's saying, which is a bit stressful. So far, I've memorized the Italian alphabet, though, which is good, and my almost-two years of Latin are definitely helping.

5. Apparently I never posted about this! My mom kind of found out about my slashy online activities. I played it down, though, (okay, I lied) and admitted to very tame versions of what I actual read/write. Obviously I couldn't deny anything as she'd seen something, but apparently it wasn't anything too porny, so while it wasn't a good thing that she found out, at least I know that it could've been very much worse. And at least this way she knows something so I don't have to be quite as paranoid. LOL

6. The Incline of Trees (aka: lotruni) has been updated!!!!!!! omgomgomg GO AND READ. *incoherent flailing* 

7. Next week, I think, I will begin posting something that I half want to keep as a surprise and half want to shout out to everyone. I'm very excited about it. :D

8. Dom. Just Dom. ♥

ok. so. I watched it. then I rewinded and watched all the Charlie bits. and Charlie's bits. LOL and then I came online and immediately started freaking out with bloodrayveness. and because I am lazy and it is 2:30am 3:30am (now) and I've already said most of what I'm going to say about Lost to her, I decided just to copy/paste the chat transcript. and I didn't fix our spelling errors, sorry. LOL and it is long. lol

there's also a bit of spoilers about Orli's Leno appearance, but srsly, nothing major.

WARNING: spoilers for Charlie's episode, "Greatest Hits", AS WELL AS talk of spoilers for the finale, "Through the Looking Glass".

also, this is seriously the first thing I said when I logged on. LOL

( OH MY FUCKING GOD )

ALSO. we have decided that Snow Patrol's song Run is CHARLIE'S DEATH ANTHEM, OH MY GOD. I almost can't believe that after all of this stuff tonight, hearing that song is what made me break down.

and now, because I honestly COULDN'T DECIDE on what icon to upload/use for this post, here's a bunch of icons I was considering, each perfect in its own way. I finally decided on this one because omg, lookit Charlie all happy and glowy!

( 11 icons I considered )

and yeah. so. oh my god, Charlie. *sniffle* omg this music. *cries*

I haven't had a real update in a while, so: a numbered list of my life. >.<

1) I must thank the lovely and generous morebliss for giving me 2 months of paid LJ time. ♥ *bounces* That means I can upload a few more icons, like this one. *grin*

2) SAT2 Biology test is tomorrow at seven o'clock in the fucking morning, and I hate mornings with all kinds of fiery passion. Plus, am so not ready for it. Then a week and a half until the AP test. omg pls save me. *clings to f-list*

3) Today at co-op we skipped art class to do more biology studying. Which I needed and appreciated, no doubt, but the whole time I was just thinking "I wish I was doing art right now..." I'm in the middle of a Dom drawing! That so trumps biology.

4) Bit sick today and a little yesterday I think. Coughing and such. I felt like I had a bit of a fever earlier, but mom says not. Still felt like it, though. >.<

5) I had the loveliest dream this morning, but then I had to wake up and go to class. Not fair. ( cut for a little tiny bit about the dream )

6) Rewrote the script for the movie class. Now I just have to upload it. The director wants to meet with me and the DoP at Starbucks tomorrow to discuss storyboards. Somehow the rumour's been spreading that I'm a fantastic artist, which I am not. The only reason the pictures I draw come out well at all is because I copy them directly, no creativity involved. I have done a couple of storyboards before, but omg were they horrible. Anyway, now everyone's expecting me to come up with these great drawings. It's all the producer and Cute Guy's fault, I'm thinking, since only they've seen my sketchbook... >.<

7) On my little practice test I took just now, I got a 620, which isn't exact because the book had a fucking TYPO that kinda CHANGED THE ENTIRE ANSWER. omg. So. Not a horrible score, and I've certainly done worse. Not great either, but it'll pass. Hopefully I can recreate this score or better tomorrow at 7 in the morning. >.<

8) It's 11:00 and I still haven't done my psych online post that's due by midnight. fuuuuuuck. *hurries* Psych quiz Sun/Mon, hopefully I'll be able to pull through it.

9) I just wrote a little tiny bit of freakin' hardcore BDSM. Debating about whether or not to continue it. (you're all going to say YES PLS OMG, but I'm seriously not sure about this... >.<)

10) am tired. must finish psych, then go to bed and get some sleeeeeeep.

bloodrayveness has gone to Florida for a week. I dunno if I'll be able to survive. *swoons dramatically*

♥



in other news, Vista now works and I've been able to print off syllabuses (syllabi? LOL) for both my online classes. wtf TONS of reading already! >.<

in even further removed news, for those of you interested, I actually did write some RunAway the other day, and I finished the next chapter, but I'm not going to be posting again until either WAY more is finished, or if the entire fic is finished, because I don't want more delays like this to happen, and I'm assuming you guys don't want that either. :\

My dad came home from his Scotland/Kentucky business trip. With souvenirs! \o/ I got a "Scottish Translation" shirt that says "Gonnie no dae that!" on the front, then "I would ask you to consider whether what you have just done (or are about to do) is the appropriate action to take in the current circumstances." HEEE! My sister got one that said "It wasnae me!" with some long, cute translation as well. *giggles*

And apparently he has to go back to Scotland next month. And the really big news is, if the dates don't interfere with my AP-test day, I MIGHT GET TO GO TOOOO!!!!!! Of course, this is just a minor possibility, and I don't even have my passport at the moment, so. BUT STILL!!!! The place he goes is just like, 45 min. outside of Glasgow, and he went sight-seeing there this past time! And it's SCOTLAND, so HELLO, I'M IN!!!

Apparently he also has pictures (we haven't looked yet) from a cave in Kentucky that I've actually been to before, but don't remember because I was like, 3. O.o Lived in Kentucky for a while, actually. I've lived in 5 different states so far, and then different houses/apartments within those 5 states. Which is... unusual? At least according to the people I hang out with, who've lived here their entire lives. LOL

in other news; test tomorrow which I haven't studied for, biology lunch wherein we bring foodstuffs that look like blood clots and the like (should be an interesting class tomorrow, to say the least), and woo, my piano book came in the mail today! got to figure out what exactly I'm going to play out of it, though.

OH, and something from LotR (the books, not the films): I came across a quote in book 5, chapter 2 -

"Good-bye!" said Merry. He could find no more to say. He felt very small, and he was puzzled and depressed by all these gloomy words. More than ever he missed the unquenchable cheerfulness of Pippin.

Does that not sound like how Dom has described Billy on multiple occasions? (paraphrasing) "He doesn't try to get happy, he just is happy." or something like that. And now I want to read some good Merry/Pippin fics... LOL

also also: wrote a bit of RunAway today, for the first time in forever. >.< I'm sorry I've been kinda distant lately. I haven't meant to be, it just happened that way. Actually... well, I'll save that for another post.
