4:14 pm	Farewell, gay crazy space vampire show <3 So I watched the last Atlantis. ( Some thoughts. ) I made a bit of a picspam over in Cate's entry, here and here. Something of a catalogue of their darling, silly faces. We were given so very much joy in this show. Tao of Rodney, Echoes, Doppelganger, Miller's Crossing, The Storm and The Eye, Harmony, The Shrine, and many more. Farewell Atlantis! You brought me much joy, and great friends, and David Hewlett. ♥ Current Mood: nostalgic (Comment on this)

3:43 pm	Dry all your tears, today we escape Note: I have not yet watched the Atlantis finale. It's downloading right now, so no spoilers please! I am rather unsettled because I nearly got in an accident today :( It's snowing a LOT, and I was on the highway going literally 20 MPH and trying not to so much as blink. This guy moves over in front of me and I'm forced to use my brakes, and my whole car skids sideways. WTF. I had to wrestle with the wheel to correct it, and I did, but it was terrifying. My car was literally turned totally perpendicular to the road. I was really lucky because if someone was next to me, I would totally have hit them, and if the other drivers were going at any speed at all it would have been bad. But I was okay. I called my dad and immediately started sobbing (I had managed not to cry yet) but he talked me down and gave me some pointers. I drove the rest of the way without taking a breath, it felt like. But I got home in one piece, thankfully. I am still a little shaken. I feel like an idiot, because the reason I was on the road was to go pick up my fixed laptop. I was at my Mom's house and about to take my siblings to my Dad's for the week, but I got a call just then from Apple saying it was ready, and the Apple store's a lot closer to my mom's than my dad's, and let's face it, I wanted my computer back. The snow was still really light, and I thought I'd get back with no problem. But I95 was HORRIBLE, right at the time I was driving on it, so that was a pretty shitty plan :( Oops. My dad had to come pick us up because I simply could not drive any more. And it's still snowing, supposed to keep going all through the night. On the bright side, I have my laptop back! It looks like a brand new computer - they replaced the top casing, the hinges, and the whole keyboard and surface. It's beautiful and the screen actually stays up and I love it \o/ I didn't see Atlantis last night because I was out seeing Milk with my mom. Wow. What a powerful movie. I cried in the car all the way home, and couldn't stop thinking about it. All of the performances are just wonderful. I think my favorite was Emile Hirsch, actually - he was so darling. The story is so potent and necessary for this moment in time. I hope that it will have an impact, because it's really painful to watch a movie about all the struggles that have already been fought, the victories won, only to realize that they were but temporary and we are sliding back into the gulf. I anxiously await the day when Christian/Mormon fundamentalism's star wanes, when we get to stop listening to this hate disguised as religion tripe. It will be a battle, but I know we can do it. Aaaanyway. Yesterday I went back to my high school for the first time in a long time, and got to see all of my teachers. It was just wonderful. I talked to practically everyone. It's always a great ego boost to go back there, haha. This time Dr. Melmed (who is this huge chemist who decided to teach high school - I wish I had appreciated him more while I had him) told me that he and Mr. Galanopoulos, who taught me when I was 14 (!), had been talking and both of them chose me as a student who had affected their lives the most. I mean, what do you say to that??? And every time I go back I hear something like that. It's really sweet. I love those people. P.S. All Merlin fans need to read astolat's Onfindan. It's glorious and beautiful and epic and moving. Arthur and Merlin's first steps toward King Arthur and his trusted advisor Merlin. Really something else!

12:10 pm	I feel you on my fingertips Good morning flist! I'm nomming on Honey Nut Bunches of Oats and mango orange juice (seriously, NOM NOM) and chillin out in my peace frog PJ pants and MCR hoodie, blasting Flyleaf and generally just enjoying life. How are you? :) The problem with having glorious, lazy breaks is that life doesn't *actually* stand still, and you're always inevitably not doing SOMETHING you should be. For me it's grad school apps. I've got two left, both due the 15th, and both very annoying their own, special ways. Rar. I'm going to try to get Johns Hopkins done today. I've been thinking a lot about Dublin lately... yes still. The amount of memories I have from that year is kind of staggering. It seems almost like every single day brought something new and exciting. From running across O'Connell Bridge in the rain with Dara and Paul, to touching a mummy's hand in the crypt below St. Michans with Ian, to drinking rum out of a watermelon on the cricket pitch at Trinity with Roisin and her friends, I could go on. Those are just the ones that pop immediately to mind. I miss it :-/ My baby Macbook is currently at the Genius Bar getting extensive (and expensive) physical repairs done. I dropped it and broke the hinge almost exactly a year ago, while I was at theaeblackthorn's place in Brighton, and ever since then the screen has only stayed upright very precariously. I think because of the broken hinges, the casing around the screen and the power button got distorted and started to crack open. So I think it was time to bring her to the doctor :-/ I'm using my dad's lovely iMac desktop at home until I get her back. She'll be like a new computer! I think today I am going to work some on my Merlin video. Oh what a hardship :D Oh oh, I just bought (another) copy of George R.R. Martin's "A Game of Thrones" because I started reading it at Meg's and was immediately addicted. I read it once years ago, but I am so excited to devour it all again. I gave my copy to Jeremy, because he expressed an interest, but I bet he hasn't even opened it :P Oops! Anyway, I'm LOVING it. Gritty high fantasy, come to meeee!

2:38 am	Merlin Picspam - 1x05 Lancelot So having expressed my frustration with the lack of normal, decent-sized capspams in this fandom, I'm doing something about it! I started with the Lancelot episode because, well, pretty. Credit for the caps goes entirely to potthead at inadream_caps, except for a small handful I took myself. Mostly of Arthur in the red v-neck tunic. YOU KNOW THE ONE. 108 caps behind the cut! Contains all characters, but with something of a bias towards Arthur because, um. I have eyes! Enjoy! ( Merlin 1x05 Lancelot Picspam ) And thus ends the tale of Lancelot, and how he brought much pretty to the land of Camelot! (And maybe some angst and conflict, but whatever.) If you want the really full size of any of the caps (1280x704) you can either go to the comm they came from where they're up in a gallery (inadream_caps) or ask me for a specific one. I hope you had fun! :) Current Mood: pleased (Comment on this)

7:43 pm	You're my perfect little punching bag I just wanted to say a quick few words about 2008. All the economic shitstorm and what have you at the end here is casting a pall over the year as a whole, but it was really something special for me... at least at the beginning. The year was quite cruelly split in half for me, so it's hard to remember that Dublin really WAS part of this year. At the same time, it seems a million years ago, or that it lasted just the blink of an eye. Being in Dublin felt like taking a vacation from my own life, or conversely actually living my life for the first time. The memories are so vivid and gorgeous and intense that just looking at a couple pictures can bring everything rushing back and cause tears to prick at my eyes. The first three months of 2008 were easily the best of my life. It was the middle term (Michaelmas) of Trinity's school year, and I didn't have any labs to do, so I was free as a bird. I went to lectures and that was it. So I had endless expanses of free time which I used quite fruitfully. I was going out with my friends and having a blast at least twice a week, and during that time I was becoming extremely close to Kate, Emily, Cary, and Megan. I wasn't dating anyone (I was between Colin and James) so I was just... free. I cannot remember another time when I felt that happy and vibrant and alive. Then my best friend Michelle came to visit me in Dublin, followed immediately by my dad and sister, which was so so much fun. Niall and Laura's birthdays, St. Paddy's Day, Father Ted Night, going to Germany, Belfast, Cardiff, Brighton, and Oxford, endless hours of Guitar Hero, nights at The Pav or Fibbers or The Porterhouse or Doyles, throwing fantastic house parties, the PERFECT last week full of friends and joy... my memories are legion. Niall, Paddy, Lou, Dara, Barry, Bren, Niall C, James, Paul, Sinead, Sarah. It hurts my stomach to not be there anymore, but I will always treasure the memory and the people that are in my life because of Dublin. *deep breath* Then I came home, and immediately had to start my lab job at my college. I was depressed but determined to make the best of being here... it only kind of worked. The school year started and I was thrust into some of the most intense and constant work I have ever had to accomplish. I also met Jeremy Moss. Oh yeah, and we elected a man that I truly believe in to the presidency. It was a weird, reclusive semester that is such a polar opposite to all that I just described about Dublin. I think I'm still trying to recover my equilibrium. But now I'm heading into my last semester of college, gearing up for grad school, and I don't even know where my head's at. Sometimes I feel impossibly old and grown up, sometimes I feel like a stumbling, naive little child. I'm both excited and scared of what 2009 will bring. I know that nothing will ever be Dublin again (though I do hope I'll make it back this summer) but I do hope that the growing I did in Dublin will serve me in good stead as I try to find my footing. And that's enough of that! Dublin has been on my mind a lot lately... I think I just needed to talk about it some. On a completely different note, I have been thinking a lot about vidding lately! I've made three music videos (Harry Potter, Buffy, and Supernatural) and I love all of them so much. I just don't have the tools anymore - the last time I did it I used my PC laptop and actually went through all the complicated crap to get Premiere working. But now I've got a Mac and I don't really want to go through the ridiculous process of downloading and figuring out Final Cut Pro. So I'm playing around with iMovie just to see what happens. The idea I'm working with? A Merlin vid set to "I Just Can't Wait to be King". YEAH. I think Rob suggested it as a joke while he was watching with me and Michelle, and Michelle and I were like "....YES!" and now it won't leave my head! I started converting and organizing and clipping stuff last night. Who knows if I'll actually follow through with it! But it's just such an awesome idea, and Merlin has the really nice benefit of very limited source material, that I can't not *try*. Heehee. A side effect of getting back in the vidding mindset is that I keep thinking of songs I listen to as potential vidding songs. I was listening to Pink's (I refuse to call her P!nk) latest album, and the song "Please Don't Leave Me" hit me as hilariously appropriate for Merlin and Arthur. ( Just read these lyrics! ) Seriously, it's lolariously PERFECT. Semi-emo, just like preshface Arthur, but the music has this fun bouncy thing going on that I think would go well with the show. And, my perfect little punching bag. Ahahaha. I don't even know. I just know that it's PERFECT. <3 A couple fun things from today - I chatted with Jeremy on AIM tonight! Just for about 15 minutes, but it was really nice cause I've been missing him. Also, I got a voicemail today from my uncle's sister - she works for the National Institutes of Health and their Graduate Partnership Program. My uncle gave her my CV, and apparently she's really interested, or else she wouldn't be calling, especially since their application deadline was in December! She said she's going out of the country but she's passing me on to someone else in her office, so I'll probably be hearing from them soon. I have no idea if anything would come of it (the GPP is basically where you enroll at a university for your PhD and do courses there, but then do your dissertation research with a mentor at the NIH) but it's still really cool that my CV was apparently that impressive. Gives me good hope for my grad school apps! Which I still need to finish, rar. I am so relaxed and unstressed right now - I'd forgotten what this feels like. *HAPPY SIGH* Current Mood: content Current Music: P!nk - 13 This Is How It Goes Down | Powered by Last.fm (Comment on this)

3:12 pm	That declared the destiny of a nation, yes we can ENORMOUS PET PEEVE ALERT: It appears that EVERY PICSPAM in Merlin fandom is in this format - i.e., screencaps squished down to roughly 300x150 px and put into a single collage image. It's ugly and horrid and completely USELESS. Why has this fandom fallen prey to such a horrible habit?! I fully plan to remedy this with a FULL SIZE massive picspam showing off Merlin and Arthur and Gwen and Morgana and Uther in all of their glory. /negativity! I AM HOME! *flops* I was on the road with my little sister for 13 hours yesterday, and got home at midnight. It was pretty exhausting, but not all that awful. My sis is a great road trip partner, especially since we love all the same music. We listened to FOB, MCR, We The Kings, Paramore, The Hush Sound, Panic, Across the Universe, The Used, David Bowie, TAI - basically everything awesome :D And then i slept for 10 hours and now I'm refreshed and relaxed and just CHILLING. It's amazing. I had SUCH a wonderful time seeing my family. All my little cousins are growing ridiculously fast. Sam, who is 14, is SIX FEET TALL. All my cousins are such darling kids, it was lovely to spend time with them. And Meg (my cousin but also a mom twice over who runs her own small business dyeing yarn) is everything I wish I will be when I grow up. We're so much alike. It's really great to just hang out with her and chat about all kinds of things. And her husband, Jeff, is such a great guy. I was really happy for him because he's lost 100 pounds in the last six months and he looks fantastic. Now I am just hangin out at home trying to catch up on LJ. A whole week of LJ! *hands* But I can't not TRY, yaknow? I've gotten through most of the first season of Six Feet Under. It's so GREAT. I love Claire and Nate and David so much <3 I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and a great new year! And now here we are, opening the book on the Year of the Obama, and I am very excited and hopeful. It's a huge year of change for me personally as well, what with graduating from college in 5 months, and possibly starting grad school in the fall, or who knows what else. Here's to you, 2009. Please treat us better than your predecessor. I love you all, and it's good to be back <3 Current Mood: cheerful (Comment on this)

1:30 pm	Sun comes up and now we have a chance again Happy New Years, my loves! May 2009 treat us and the world with much more kindness than 2008 did. I have not been online at all so I am completely and WOEFULLY behind on LJ. But I'm really okay with that. If anything big has happened in your lives, tell me? Or just come say hi! I miss you all <3 I'm at Michigan with the cousins that I lived with for a summer a couple years ago. They are my most favoritest cousins in the world and I'm having a great time. Last night a family they're friends with came over just to hang out and have a great dinner and some drinks, and they have three adorable kids, and it was just a lot of fun. We played board games and took shots of this drink that Meg (my cousin) made up, which is Kahlua, vodka, and coffee creamer. SO GOOD. This morning we just spent two hours sitting around in the kitchen talking about how deeply awesome Obama is, and sharing stories of our experiences during the campaign, etc etc. We're SO EXCITED for this dude. Whee! We're planning on watching Merlin because they're always looking for shows that the whole family can watch. Their kids are 7 and 13, so it's a little hard to find something everyone will love! I have a feeling they'll adore Merlin though. They're big fantasy geeks just like me, right down to having a Renaissance themed wedding (he dressed as a knight, she in a beautiful maroon gown) so it should be super fun in that way. And the kids should love it too. I'm so excited! Arthur's beautiful face on their massive 50 inch TV! Woo! On a hilarious side note, Hazel (7 year old) was having me read some books with her last night, and one was called DR. MERLIN'S MAGIC SHOP. I loled a lot, obviously, and Merlin turned out to be this evil scary old man, which, hilarious. But the best part is that he had A DOG NAMED ARTHUR. Ahahahaha. He was big and fluffy and white and I was so amused. Now I'm gonna go back to hanging out and having ABSOLUTELY NO CONCERNS AT ALL. It is the most glorious feeling in the whoooole world. I hope you are all well! xoxoxo Current Mood: relaxed (Comment on this)

10:49 pm	Don't...be... a prat. Just breezing through in another quick stab at the internet, but I just had to share my glee at this. I was poking through a Katie McGrath gallery (she plays Morgana on Merlin and she's Irish) and I saw this picture and was like, hmm, that looks familiar, kinda like... wait... oh my god! GRAFTON STREET!!! She's standing at one of the flower peddlers on Grafton Street in Dublin! And the camera's looking down the side street at St. Anne's Cathedral on Dawson St! My college is a couple blocks to the left and my apartment is about 5 minutes walk to the right. HEE. ...I miss Dublin ;___; Anyway, SPEAKING OF MERLIN (cough cough), have I mentioned yet how much I freaking LOVE this show?! I saved a bunch of fic to my computer and inhaled it ravenously last night (although I find myself craving something more ensembley, though I do love Merlin and Arthur and their ridiculousness) and then just spent a while watching various scenes from random episodes. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. ♥____♥ ( Let's talk about some of my favorite scenes! ) Okay okay I'll stop. Tell me some of YOUR favorites. THIS SHOW!!!! *draws hearts* Oh by the way, the game on the BBC website is HARD! The Camelot Defence one? I STILL haven't beaten the third level. It's really fun, if someone wants to try it out! :D Current Mood: content (Comment on this)

5:16 pm	Hi loves! I just wanted to pop my head in and let you know that I probably will be very scarce for a while. I'm at my aunt and uncle's house in Ohio, and they only have dialup internet and no wireless! Oh my! Right now I'm at a nearby hotel that my other aunt and uncle are staying at, using the free wireless, but obviously that won't last very long! I'm having a great time seeing all my family, and I hope you are all having a wonderful time with your time off. Also, I just applied to the University of Washington Biochemistry doctorate program! \o/ <3333 Current Mood: relaxed (Comment on this)

10:16 pm	The man who would be king Man, why am I so tired? It's vacation, I'm supposed to be getting infinite amounts of sleep and feel rested and happy. Tragically, I sort of undermine that possibility by staying up WAY TOO LATE reading Merlin fic and playing the game they have on the BBC Merlin website, which is surprisingly hard. I can't beat the last level! :P My mind also apparently doesn't want to get out of stress mode. My first night home, I had vivid and extensive dreams about things like forgetting to write a paper, or breaking another car key. THANKS BRAIN. But I think I'm slowly unwinding. It's an amazing feeling. With all my free time, I've made a new header for myself! It's Merlin and Arthur being intense and pretty and I loff them. Go see! ---> exsequar I also added an interest icon for those boys in my sidebar :D Today we had a present session with my Mom because my brother isn't coming to Ohio with us and therefore she can't give him his presents then. So she gave him his presents, and a few more were exchanged, and SHE GOT ME A NEW CAMERA!!!!!! :D :D It's beautiful and BLUE and TINY and the features are just fantastic - 8 megapixels!! My old camera was 3.2! I just ran around the house taking pictures of random things. The zoom is just stunning (3.0x optical zoom, plus digital zoom up to 12x). I will have to share some photos with you soon - right now I'm too tired to set it up :P This is my baby (in the blue) and I loff her. WHEE! I've also been watching a lot of Six Feet Under. It's soooo gooood. &Nate;! &Claire;! &Dave;! Despite not being very rested, I am having a LOVELY time hanging out with my daddy. For the past two days it's been essentially just me and him, and it's wonderful. We went shopping together for presents, which was very successful, and we've just been hangin out, watching the Discovery channel and eating his nom nom home cooking, which is one of the things I miss most about not being at home. Yay for Daddy time! I hope you all are having wonderful holidays with your families. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! to all who celebrate, and HAPPY HANNUKAH!!!! for those who celebrate that, and HAPPY THURSDAY!!!! to everyone else! ♥ Current Mood: mellow (Comment on this)

2:01 am	The balance has been restored. LET'S TALK ABOUT MERLIN. I've finally seen through the end! ( SPOILERY SPOILERS! ) I did NOT expect anything like that to come out of this show. I anticipated a frolicking, fun romp with two pretty gay boys wearing tunics and swinging swords and pulling each others' pigtails. Instead I get a story and a cast of characters that I find genuinely compelling. Awesome! I'm sad that there's a whole year until the next series, but I am glad it will return. I think that with time they will be able to truly hone what they have here. It's definitely got some rough edges, but I think they landed gold with Bradley James and Angel Coulby and Anthony Head and Richard Wilson, and Colin Morgan and Katie McGrath have great potential when they're given the right material, and the legend itself has so much to play with. Hurrah for Merlin! That was a great ride :) Wow, that got really long! Someone come squee with me, and then point me to the fic! :D Current Mood: sleepy (Comment on this)

9:49 pm	YAAAAY. FREEEEEEDOMMMMMMMM!!!!!!! Thank you to all for the lovely comments on my post pleading for happy, because they were ADORABLE and totally picked me up in the morning when I needed it <333 KITTIES and BABIES and HAMSTERS, oh my! :D My exam was actually fine, after all of that! It was much more straightforward than I expected, no big curveballs, and I think I did quite well! He handed back my paper afterwards and I got a big fat A, with some lovely comments (and a smileyface!) which was super awesome. I might have preserved my 4.0 after all! \o/ And now I am DONE DONE DONE. I got home and did some cleaning, because our apartment is a BOMB ZONE, and then me and the roomies went out for pizza and I had a lovely pint of Yuengling, and now I'm pleasantly warm and buzzed and Michelle and I are watching Merlin and the Colin and Bradley video diaries, which. HEARTS OMG. These booooys. We're on episode 11 and I'm v. excited! :D I SURVIVED THIS SEMESTER!!!! *flops* I just. WOW. I can't quite believe it! :DDDDD Maybe now I'll be more of a person on LJ and less of a "life sucks so let's talk about Jeremy!" person, which, I am sorry :P When BSG picks up again I'll DEFINITELY be flailing about that, and Supernatural, and DOLLHOUSE!!!!!!! I also am starting an infatuation with Merlin so that will be out and about. And if those MCR boys keep being ridiculous dorks? They will certainly be on the menu as well :D (As if anyone could question that!) Soooo, yes! I AM BACK! \o/ Current Mood: relieved (Comment on this)

2:27 am	Oh I wish I could be a basement slacker like Jersey Gee *YAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN* I have spent all day studying for this bloody test. And by studying, I mean working on the six multipart problems he gave us, 3 of which will be on the test, and studying presentations by my classmates, which will be another question. I have not yet read my *notes*, although answering the questions required quite a bit of going back anyway. There will be a few short answer questions and at least a couple ginormous questions on the test, so oh dear. I am fucking tired. I'm going to go get a few hours of sleep, then in the morning I'll do a dry run through of answering the problems, and read as much of my notes as I can. The exam is at 2, thankfully, not 9 AM. I'd appreciate cute pictures, hugs, messages of good cheer or random cuteness, perhaps adorable Youtube videos? ANYTHING to make me smile in the morning. Please? *smiles pretty* I love you and goodnight. *flops* Current Mood: exhausted Current Music: Michelle Branch - Where Are You Now? | Powered by Last.fm (Comment on this)

9:36 am	Making light of these dark days rain_dances's post about leaving San Jose (:( I'm sorry sweetie) compelled me to take a look at what Lonely Planet has to say about my fair Dublin, and... Yes, this. Exactly. I'm so glad I wasn't imagining it. Dubliners are the most wonderful people ever. SIGH CAN I GO BACK? Today is going to be an awful day. I have to spend every second I can force myself to studying for my biochem final. He gave us 6 multipart questions, 2 or 3 of which will be on the final so we have to do them all. I've "gotten through" 3 of them, which means gotten semi-acceptable answers for most of the parts, I'm COMPLETELY STUCK on one, and need to tackle the last two. This does not even begin to approach reading all my notes, studying other peoples' presentations because there will be a question on those, and freaking the fuck out in general. D: D: D: D: (PS Michelle and I have gotten to 1x10 of Merlin. IT HAS GOTTEN SO GOOD!!!!! The last, like, FIVE episodes have been AMAZING. I LOVE ARTHUR SO MUCH *FLAPS HANDS*.
