Happiest of happiest birthdays to my 20 year old little brother!!!

It was twenty years ago that your arrival made me miss my first dance in the fourth grade. Then Mom and dad brought you home and you were my new doll!  And I proceeded to accidentally bang your head against the front door while bringing you in from the car and then spoiled you shamelessly for 20 years, even against your will.

Didn't do too much damage...I think.  It could have caused your delay in learning the English language.  Anyways, happy birfday to my favorite brother!  I bought you a gift.  It starts with a Chibi and ends with a vampire and 7 volumes of it will be strewn across your bed haphazardly when you come home next weekend!! YEEE!

So, my family and I go to the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire yesterday...expecting to be steeped in silly old English fun stuff...

And there was a tiny shinigami rolling around ye old countryside.  This 10 year old little blonde white girl was just rolling around in her shinigami outfit, babbling on about Zangetsu.

Also, at "LaForge" the sword making shop, the shop girl was twirling around a zangetsu.  shadowzabre and I immediately called her out on it, and she just stared at us, probably thinking of what kind of dorks we were.  But yes.  The Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire has inhabitants of Japan now!  YAY!

I really loved Chuck.  Hence the hurriedly made icon.  It was like the perfect lead-in to Heroes.  Monday nights are now a happy time because of the good television.  YAY!

Also, Tuesday night I watched "Reaper".  I was impressed.  It made me chuckle and it is by far no Joss Whedon show, but it has my healthy doze of snarky sci-fi, so I enjoyed it. 

Tonight, I am ashamed to admit that I will be watching Kid Nation.  Dude, I had a paper route at 10, I didn't see anyone wahwahing for me.  (That would be my tongue in my cheek right now, thank you very much). 

And then tomorrow.......my other dork crush comes back in the form of the OFFICE!  WOOHOO!

I love the fall.  I love new tv.

You are the bestest of the best!  YAY!  Thank you much-ly.  It definitely brightened my day when I needed it.  This weekend was looking like it might stink.  YAY!

Holy crap.  Two posts in a month.  Also, a dual reason for the word Holy.



And on a lighter note.  I downloaded the Once soundtrack.  I must see this movie.  The music is amazing. 

Why is my brother never online when I'm online?  I haven't talked to him in monthses.  Little terd.  If he ever checks LJ, please let it be known to mein brother shadowzabre that I will be leaving Reading on Friday at 2-ish to go and retrieve him from his nerd lair kingdom so that I may watch lots of Bleach and buy manga.  WOOOHOO!

Also, for my quadra-monthly post...I'm getting excited about new tv.  I think I watched all my Scrubs dvds since the aforementioned shadowzabre went back to school.  That's like, 157 episodes of Scrubs.  Now I'm talking funny.  Maybe I'll break out the Buffy and I'll talk like Scrubs and Buffy.  That'll be fun.  I haven't watched a Buffy episode in a looooong time.  But I think that'll have to wait until after I catch up on the Office.  Because I have to catch up and rewatch my DVD's, then buy myself the present of Season 3 and then watch it all before it comes back to my tv.

I watched the VMA's last night and realized I was suspiciously old.  I did get a laugh out of watching Britney.  That was a hilariously, beautiful trainwreck.

Someone at work today told me I was going to hell, a special all by myself hell.  Apparently its because I out-sass her and she always comes back with the hell comment.  I got loads of sass.   Also, I'm apparently incredibly sacriligious.  Who knew?  I love God and whatnot, but I made the comment at work that God has a wicked sense of humor.  Who knew that would offend?  Is God not allowed to be hilarious?

I still don't know what some of my co-workers think of me, and I'm trying to let that go and not obsess about it.  Although one of my co-workers did go out and buy me a magnet with what looks like a fairly accurate chibi-fied version of me with the quote "Being rotten is fun".   Because I am apparently rotten?  In a totally adorable way though, I'm sure.  Or I'd hope.

Peace out my peeps.  (look above and nod at the comment I made about being crazy old). 

I saw the 8:00 screening last night of Transformers.  It was a packed house and I was maybe one of five girls there (3 of which were with me).  It was a crowd of solid Transformers fans, mostly guys in their twenties and thirties.  And I must say, it rocked my socks off.  I felt afterwards, the same way I felt after I had watched Serenity.  It had taken something I had sentimental value for and made it awesome.  It was more than just a crazy effects movie.  It was hilarious, and touching, and sometimes a little weird, and all around exciting. 

Not that I need to, but I fully recommend that everyone see this movie. If you truly hate it, I'll think about refunding your money.  Michael Bay is usually hit or miss for me.  I loathe some of his movies, and I love some of them.  Some of them being only Bad Boys, I think, which used to be some of my favorite action movies. 

But yes, if you want a movie you can giggle at, gape at and just generally enjoy this summer.  You should go see it!  And there was this wicked awesome trailer for JJ Abrams untitled project, I think it has codename "Cloverfield".   Crazy good preview! 

#1.  I do keep up on my flist, even if I'm not updating.  SO....sache  I'm so sorry about your doggie.  I was all excited for you when you revealed that he had been back.  I hope he starts taking his antibiotics!  kaeleer , You have GOT to get out of that house.  Maybe even get out of Florida if you're not so attached to it.  I mean it is hot there.  franwi I want more Simmie updates.  kittycat22 Hooray for weight loss!  You go my darling Bridget.  kajivar  What the heck kind of ice cream cone is that?  And did you eat it like that all in one lick?  Because man alive!  qkellie I hope you've recovered from your birthday illness and happy belated anniversary and...yo!  kenobi...SQUISH!  And to everyone else, much love from me. 

#2.  I bought my Transformers tickets.  We're going to see it Monday night at 8pm.  Here is hoping that my brothers don't want to dress up as Autobots and Decepticons.  Seriously.  They've been on the lookout for boxes.  They are super nerds.

#3.  I still love my job.  That's a random statement to see up on screen.  The only downfall is that I spend so much time in front of the computer again, that I just don't feel like going on it after work.  So here I am with 6:30am posts.

#4.  I have to go to the bookstore next week after payday and buy a ton of manga.  All of my regulars have come out recently, I think.  And then I want to buy Nodame.  I have become the epitome of the Asian nerd.  Oh well.  But on the more nerdy, slightly less Asian side, Harry Potter is being released in less than a month.  YAY!  We're all planning a Harry Potter sleepover.  I shall have to make copious amounts of cookies.   And The Office Season 3 comes out September 4th.  I wonder when Heroes will be released.

Love and hugs and kisses!

YEEEE!

NBC has done right by me.  Hour long blocks of my favorite shows before summer break? O-some.  And it showed the preview of John Krasinski's new movie, License to Wed.  I was making unintelligible noises all night.

The concept: Comment and I will give you 3 interests on your list, and 3 icons, for you to explain.

Here is what I got from the fantabulous kajivar

Is it wrong that I totally love my job?  Who knew that insurance could make me happy?  I am a supernerd.

But still.  I'm chugging a diet mountain dew as we speak, because I am super tired for some strange reason.  My eyes keep doing that droopy almost sleeping thingy, even though I really, really, really don't want them to.  STOP IT DROOPY EYES!

There is something very satisfying (to me) about waking up at 6 am to make a batch of fresh eclairs on a Saturday morning.  I am not being sarcastic.  I am channeling my inner baker...or Amish person.  But if I were Amish, I suppose I wouldn't be making eclairs...but something more substantive. 

Eh, either way.  I love baking.  Now I'm off to go melt chocolate while shadowzabre tries to beat Zelda on the Wii so I can see the ending.  YAY!

How much do I love my workplace cafeteria?  Today?  There are mini funnel cakes of joy!  So I ate an extremely healthy lunch, followed by a deliciously powdered sugar piece of fried dough.  YUMM!

I'm copying kittycat22 because I'm superbored and have nothing to do on this non-paying Friday. 

I've made a list of 20 characters and assigned them all numbers. Ask me questions about them and I'll answer. Your mission is to discover which character is which.


Everyone gets 10 incorrect guesses.   Use them wisely.

1.  Mori from Ouran guessed by franwi  because I think Mori is super hot.  For a cartoon character.  I'm sick.
2.
3.
4.  Jim Halpert from the Office as guessed by franwi  Again, this was probably the easiest to guess from all of them.  He is my dude.
5.  Chad from Bleach  franwi because she is on track to guess the whole darned list because she is more awesome at this than the song meme!
6.  Carly Roberts from General Hospital(etc.) as guessed by franwi 
7.  Sawyer from Lost....franwi who will not rest until she has defeated my meme.
8.  Renji Abarai from Bleach as guessed by my little brother shadowzabre
9.
10.  Harmony Kendall from Ange/Buffy guessed by frailingminda
11.  Keigo from Bleach as guessed by shadowzabre  Because he IS Keigo!!
12.
13. Kyo Sohma from Fruits Basket as guessed by superguesser franwi
14.
15.
16. Noi-chi Kasahara from Wallflower as guessed in a pretty damn close tie by franwi and shadowzabre
17.
18.  Keith Dudemeister (no, that's actually his show-given last name) from Scrubs!  By franwi, I broke her brain with this one!!
19.
20.

The numbers of characters and my fandoms....split between television and anime...2 Angel, 1 Scrubs, 2 The Office,  1 General Hospital, 1 Buffy, 1 Fruits Basket, 1 Wallflower

I was really bored. And being bored and not having a particularly exceptional talent for anything leads to awesome mediocrity. GO ME!

I think that the last time I did a meme was...like three years ago.  So, here we go.  My music isn't nearly as embarrassing as I thought it would be.  Go me and my random tastes!

-Put iTunes on shuffle.
-Pick your favorite line(s) to the first 30 songs, no matter how embarassing.
-Have your friends guess what songs the lines are from.
-Bold the ones people have already gotten
