confession time
I actually love videos with makeover montages/sequences.
Which covers a lot of ground, actually. Legally Blonde, Miss Congeniality, Mulan, She’s the Man, and so on and so forth.
Even when I don’t like the whole movie, I usually like the makeover part.
I’m not a very feminine/girlish person, I just love watching people transform. And have a low attention span, so —...

And then Adobe Made More Bad Decisions, to... →
in my (not so) humble opinion, Adobe has been making some pretty crap marketing/publicity decisions lately, (I’ll take ‘Ducky can’t install her legally purchased software on new computers because Adobe disabled its activation’ for 500, Alex), but now it looks like you can’t buy the software anymore. Just… rent it. Perpetually.

Quest to Find the Language: Vashta Nerada
“Vashta Nerada” (from the Dr Who episode Silence in the Library) theoretically means “the shadows that melt flesh” in some language. So I’m trying to find which one it is (if any at all — it could be a conlang) and posting my random finds here, because Reasons.
✖ Bulgarian: Vashta Nerada → ваща нерада → executing narada; however, by itself, Vashta (ваща) translates...

tumblr: stop being a butthead
Tumblr keeps eating my mini meta-essays when I try to insert a ‘read more’ link to avoid giant textwalls on the dashboards of friends. I am too tired to write out the most recent one a third time. Sadness. (I’d be frustrated if I had the energy, but mostly I’m just bummed about losing the content repeatedly. I’ll be copying the text into a handy notepad file or...

Something’s wrong with Darl, one of my parakeets. One of his legs isn’t moving. We’re taking him to the vet this afternoon. I just really want him to be okay, and I don’t think he’s going to be.
people from renka's livestream yesterday
Heya! If you were one of the fabulous people enjoying Renka’s livestream art yesterday, this post is my way of collecting any and all usernames I missed. Basically, if you didn’t announce your username so that I could follow you, (or if you did, and I missed you somehow) please feel free to either use an “ask”, or in answer here, okay?

augh computer why
So sometimes the computer decides to creatively interpret my actions. Most recent shenanigan was that it decided that when I scrolled, I clearly meant I wanted to click and scroll at the same time. To, y’know, drag a clickity-clicking mouse down a screen.
I was on the screen of “people you follow”. Cue minor chaos and a hurried series of clicks “Nonononono...

not gonna happen. I think maybe they’ll all work together again in the future but I think for now Gerard’s got other plans. No actual evidence in the article so I think it’s safe to say not happening. I’ll miss them but MCR wouldn’t be same w/o FRNK
I just was glancing over articles and saw that tidbit and just...

Seems like it’s partly the brevity and partly the surprise that’s making the My Chem breakup seem so bad. I mean, it was the band that saved lives — but it broke up with the world via text-message.

this is your brain on greek myths
Deucalion is pronounced, in my brain, like “Duke Alien” (only mushed together — dewkayleeun). However it is pronounced, it’s a name that’s purportedly gonna be showing up in the MTV series Teen Wolf in season three, so I went ahead and amassed some info on the original Deucalion.
More seriously, some background for y’all: He’s from Greek myth, and while...

I love the internet (teen wolf music videos)
I was looking for one video and found a different, very similar one. I like both of them for different reasons, but w/e, yay, I can watch videos on this computer! It is super exciting, okay? Both of these are Teen Wolf, set to 30 Seconds To Mars’ “This is War”. It’s interesting who they ‘cast’ as soldiers, martyrs, evil, etc. (Though both agree who “the...

Revenge Is Sweet
I think that the next time I get a hideous splinter, I’ll celebrate its removal with waffles and maple syrup, because nothing says revenge like filling the little square nooks with the distilled blood of my enemies.

Hah! I figured out something that rhymes with Allison, sort of.
Too bad I have no Scott friends who actually need this. but: Palace On (I know, it’s bad form to end in a preposition, but you can break lots of rules in poetry. just like the internet!) But, to my imaginary Scott-friend: here’s an example of how you could use this kind of rhyme:

welcome to my brain (on candy hearts)
I was looking at a candy heart, and it had “head over heels” on it, and I wondered about the phrase. I mean, it’s kind of weird, isn’t it? Aren’t our heads normally above our heels? I mean, unless we spend a lot of time with our feet in the air?

I know the feeling, bb! also, local concert buddy would be awesome. I have one friend who sorta likes FoB and Panic! but they did when they were popular (high school) and have moved on to other things. *sigh*

So I sometimes wish that I had RL (read: local) friends who were super into MCR & FoB & P!ATD and things because then I could learn more from them and share my nascent feels (that I managed to just skip over or something in highschool, when it would’ve been socially acceptable to be overly emotionally invested in bands).

Answering My Own Questions
[b/c shercocklocked said I should]
Feel free to reblog and answer, tumblr world. In Harry Potter, Rowling managed to tell us a lot about different characters using some pretty neat methods, teaching us about their hopes and fears and personality via various methods. Here’s my HP-based questionnare. I had a more complete one written out somewhere, but these are questions I can remember off...

random wishes
I wish there were a way to screen it whenever someone talked about losing weight in my dash. Apparently in the last… four or so years, I have gone completely off the deep-end. I’m not overweight, but reading about all the things people are doing to themselves to lose weight? I start thinking about how nice it would be to be underweight again. Which is messed up — I find people in...

random musings
I admittedly haven’t read any of the His Dark Materials series since I was much, much younger, but I think if we lived in Pullman’s world, my dæmon would still have yet to have settled, and people looking at me would know that I was maybe a little bit wrong somehow, like a child who just happened to be the same age as the adults around her.

Fall Out Boy: New Music Video
I am neither a huge Fall Out Boy fan, nor am I someone who hates them. I can identify them as the people who sang Thnks Fr Th Mmrs, and I can tell you the names of two of the people in the band. (I couldn’t’ve done that until a year or so ago, though — i.e., in my pre-tumblr years.)
I like their new music video, though. I am also the kind of person who didn’t really get...

why my mother is the best
Some plastered asshole came to the door today, and his opening salvo was “what the hell is going on around here?” followed by a demand to see one of my parents. Mom, who was right by the hall, heard him — and man, did he not realize he had activated the mama bear feels. Especially because he continued to be belligerent while past thin ice and into sub-arctic waters.
Seriously,...

Don't Question My Midnight Snack Decisions
Seriously, though, ice cream on a tortilla is pretty good. I might try adding shredded tortilla to the ice cream next time, for a different tortilla/ice cream ratio.
I don’t cook, okay? And I’m cripplingly lazy, so my food options are limited. But really, ice cream and tortillas go together quite well. (Who knew?)

Help For The Incompetent Tumblr-er
I’m looking for the song (is it called filk, when it’s fandom-folk? I don’t remember) about fandom tropes. It’s probably even in my “likes” frustratingly enough, but I’m on a connection that is slow as all get-out right now. Anybody happen to have the link on hand?
