I should be sleeping
I need to wake up early tomorrow (today) so I really shouldn't be RPing or posting here. Pfft, like that's every stopped me before!
Anyway, I saw Nine today. It was excellent! Such a star-studded cast~ The acting was stellar, the music was incredible and the art direction was just top notch! Definitely Oscar material. I saw Avatar a few days ago too, and while it was very pretty, I couldn't see past the bad guy's cardboard cut-out-ness and that made the experience painful for me. Why were the bad guys so hell-bent on being bastards? Why? They weren't being "Used as a Device," no. When you take it to the extreme like they did in Avatar, you go past For Teh Evulz and just become a Villian Sue. Yes, I looked it up on TVTropes cuz it bothered me way too much. (P.S. General Whatshisname is the Boring Invincible Villain and Tychoon Whoeverhewas is the Villain Sue.)
Also, I have a super-mega-ton of icons to post, since
reichu's tutorial inspired me to play with Selective Colors. The best part about it is, once you have the layers, all you have to do is swap out the bases and voila~! ---But that will have to wait because tomorrow is going to be a busy day. We (my family, Diana and maybe Natalia) are going to see some new suspension bridge they built in Naranjito, and after that it's Ana's yearly Pre-New Year's birthday party.
Speaking of New Year's, I may actually get to celebrate my birthday on its date with my friends! They're hell-bent on seeing Sherlock Holmes that day (it comes out here on that day, don't ask me why it's late)
I'll do a better intro post later, but welcome to
rinnakins and
checkeredpaint~! My entries tend to look mostly like this, only with more fangirling. If you're bored, ask me anything c: (That goes for all you guys, too)
EDIT; Welcome to
imaginethekiss, too~!

Is this about the same amount of fangirling as you? 'Cause I'm like this. xD
no subject
Excellent. Now if you excuse me, I will flail at your Double Arts icon.
/flails DOUBLE ARTS OMG
no subject
WHAT ANOTHER DOUBLE ARTS FAN?!??! YESSSSSS. I always found it a shame that it was canceled. :( It had so much potential!
no subject
I KNOWWWW. How could they cancel it, sob?! There were some really cute start-ups around that time, like Samurai Usagi, that didn't get the chance they deserved!!

I think it ends pretty quickly, but by the time I got there I kinda just wanted to end it. I felt like I was just dragging everything else to that point. The ending is also kinda "this is a perfect world" kind of thing.
xD It's not xxx-rated like that last one. I mean, it's got some o' dem goods, but nothing like yaoi fanfiction. There's a bit of "and it felt amazing" kind of stuff. Uhh... whatever. But, I think there's some pretty funny stuff in there though :3 Even if the jokes are kinda lame
no subject
That sounds cute! I wanna read it~

D: Tell me what you think. It's ok if you think I'm a terrible writer and think I die from shame. Just... tell me in a nice way ._.;;;

lol I do that ALL the time: whenever I need to be up early (or worse, have to go outside somewhere) I ether usually can't sleep or something else keeps me up till a stupid time so I end up having to cancel or be a coffee fueled zombie x_x
You have the same birthdate as my dad, not that I ever remember it (or people's bdays in general) despite the significance of the date itself - or I remember up until the day before then forget XD
But but hurrah for celebrating stuff! I should really do something for my bday next time since I did nothing for Christmas and most likely nothing for new year ether...
no subject
That happens a lot with my birthday! People forget cuz they're too busy partying, or they remember specifically because they're partying. I've always ended up celebrating it in February, though, since school's out that day. I sure hope I get to do something cool this year; most of my friends will be going back to their respective colleges on the first week of January, so I don't have a lot of time~

My friends wanted to see Avatar, I didn't, so we skipped on the movies when they were here because we couldn't decide what to see.
no subject
Lol! You should probably see it! It's fun, just don't try to look between the lines, cuz there's nothing there.
no subject
Speaking of Avatar though, I agree with you on the "cardboard cut-out-ness", it was one of the downfalls that prevented me from fully enjoying the movie. Anyways, Happy Birthday and Happy New Year to you, enjoy your party! :)
no subject
Yeah, I don't think I'll be able to watch it a second time. It was too painful the first time around.
Thanks a bunch :D
