11:21 am - This is the meme that never ends...
...well, it goes on and on, my friends.

Don't worry, I'll stop there so you won't have Lambchops and Charliehorse running through your head all day. :)

Anyway, the reason for that brief singing session, was because I've done this meme a couple of times before, but for some reason, I always go back to it when I'm tagged. It's so fun! :D

1. Open your music collection and set the songs to shuffle/random.
2. Take the first 30 and write one line from each.
3. As people guess the songs, strike them.
4. Tag up to five others to do this.




I tag: [info]huni_buni36, [info]antigonesgift, [info]lostashleigh, [info]phoenix39, & [info]jemmalynette.

My mild case of CRACK for the day...

For Supernatural fans (with Lost and Buffy references!):

We all know that the show can't continue with only one brother left. Thusly, Dean's deal cannot come due (or if it does, there needs to be something that can bring him back from hell.)

Theory #1:

Dean finds immortal life through eyeliner. Trufax.




Theory #2:

Dean is saved through the power of porn. Trufax.



*C'mon. You all just know I'm right. :D*

Also, this teaches us that it never a bad thing when you watch too much TV. You'll all owe me money when Theory #1 or Theory #2 comes to pass! Heehee!

And now I have to read about mythology. Really not as fun as one would hope. :(

Oh, God.

It took forever to find a layout that actually worked, but I'm glad I actually searched. Eep, I'm so amused with my new header and layout! Oh, George! :D

Most of you probably don't know the song that the header is based off, so I took the liberty of posting a Youtube vid. :D

10:41 pm - I've Got the Song In My Ears
The subject title is a play off of a lyric from my first song choice where the real lyric is "I've got the sun in my eyes." Iz so clever! :D

Yes, I did this one already, but I was tagged by [info]popcornleaderand I'm procrastinating!:

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now, shaping your spring. Post these instructions in your LJ along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening to.

(Psst. 'Cause I'm cool, you also get SPN recs or regular Youtube links to these songs...) :D

1. Butterfly Effect - Gone (Vid: angsty AU vid showing Sam's life post-Dean's death. Just guh!)
2. Smile Empty Soul - This is War (Vid: Ensemble. Heartbreaking. Made by [info]mistojen)
3. Placebo - Without You I'm Nothing (Vid: Random picture of some random girl. Whatever, it has the full song.)
4. Ingrid Michaelson - The Way I Am (Vid: Jensen & Jared schmoop. It's just so cute. I also love how the pictures were given motion.)
5. Fightstar - To Sleep (Vid: Experimental style? Lots of beautiful voiceovers to this wonderful short instrumental piece! Gorgeous!)
6. Landon Pigg - Coffee Shop (Vid: Official music vid. Cute song.)
7. The Devlins - Waiting (Vid: Ensemble. Thought-provoking and lovely. Made by [info]antigonesgift)

I love how all my songs are either incredibly depressing or incredibly chipper. I must be bi-polar. :) Also, I'm in the process of finding some of this songs myself, but I do have some others already. So ask me if you'd like any, and I'll upload it for you. In fact, the only one I don't have is the first one, which I so desparately want! lol.

Gah. I hate tagging. But okay...

09:35 pm - Stuff...

Dear Adobe Flash Player,

What the hell do you want from me?! First, you prevented me from viewing Imeem because you claimed you weren't in my computer and you were needed to view the streaming movie. Now, you've moved on to do the same thing with YouTube!

But, you know what? I DO HAVE YOU ON MY COMPUTER, YOU INCOMPETENT COMPUTER PROGRAM! I had you on there before and I just uninstalled and reinstalled you to make sure that everything was going smoothly! How is it possible that you work in my brother's account (I know he's the admin, but what the hell? That doesn't mean he should receive special treatment!) and not with mine.

I'm going stir crazy not being able to YouTube music or vids!

C'mon, you little bitch. Stop giving me a f*cking hard time. 

Truly,
your infuriated computer user,
Maria


Seriously, does anyone on my flist know what the problem may be? I'd owe you all the cookies in the world if you could help... ;)
---

Anyway, the good stuff:

  • I got elected for the Secretary position of a club in my school. Of course, I was the only candidate, but whatever. I don't like looking at the details. :) Yay! Something to put on a resumé one day.
  • It was a beautifully stunning day outside. Think it hit 70 degrees, which is pretty awesome for April in NY. I walked home in my shirt and a sweater (both black - not the smartest move when the sun is beaming down on you! lol.) I even tried to read outside for a little but the neighbors were talking and the sun was gone while the wind increased. Oh, well. Still lovely... Sucks that tomorrow's due for rain... :(
  • I think I'm totally falling behind in schoolwork! UGH!!!
  • Just thought this was an interesting little mini-article: Top 10 Useless Body Parts
  • Not a good thing, but it's random. I know it happened quite a bit ago, but I can't believe Charlton Heston died! He was an incredibly good actor and I always look forward to watching (some of) the Ten Commandments every year. And he was the voice of God!!! He had such an amazingly deep and God-like voice! Guh! And I feel terrible that he had Alzheimer's in his old age. Which I never really understood, because (good) actors have to have some of sharpest minds and memories of all. Memorizing lines and lines of scripts, knowing everything by heart? Can you imagine doing this as your career and then find out one day that you can't even remember how to do some of the basic functions of daily life? Poor guy...

I hate myself so fucking much right now.

I feel like a bitch. But not like a "Oh, God, what an idiot" sort of bitch. More like a "What a spiteful asshole, I hope she gets punched in the face numerous amounts of times" sort of bitch.

Furious with everyone.
Jealous of peers.
Self-pitying.

Jesus Christ! What the fuck is wrong with me!?

Feel free to skip this. Your words will probably mean little to me anyway, because when I get like this, I convince myself that there's no way that I can be loved and that I'll die alone and I will not be missed. Which, you know, considering my lack of friends (I know names of people, I don't KNOW the people themselves and I sure as hell never let them know me) and the fact that I'm the youngest in my family, it's not that far off from the truth.

I'm going to finish up a mini-paper and I'll probably spam and hide away in safety world of TV and meme stuff tomorrow.

ETA: And, you know, the real KICKER in all of this is that I'm damn psychology major and one day, I'm going to have to do something with that. How the fuck is that gonna happen?! I feel like I belong in a mental asylum and need major therapy 75% of my days, how the hell am I expected to be giving that therapy to someone else when I'm even more emotionally stunted and repressed than others.

A Dean by any other name episode...

Okay, due in part to the hiatus and the fact that I wanted to try out a different coloring method, I made 56 Supernatural icons, all of Dean. (Not to fret, there will probably be a Sam counterpart to this as well. :)) Some are humorous, some are aestically pretty, some are experimental... This was a challenge to myself so I basically did whatever I wanted!

11:13 pm - 'Cause 100x100 things are pretty!
Tagged by [info]brittyone:

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick three of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!

She chose these 3 icons:



1. I haven't used this one in a while (bad Maria!), but it's pretty awesome nonetheless. This lovely icon was made by autumnclarity (who no longer has an LJ, I believe) and features one of my favorite Lost characters, Desmond. If I'm not mistaken, the cap used came from the episode "Flashes Before Your Eyes." The reason I snagged this icon (besides the purty colors, of course) is due to the captioning. I have a T-shirt that features Eeyore saying "I am not amused." (Yes, the donkey from Winnie the Pooh.) And frankly, that T-shirt cracks me up every time because the poor ass (what, that's what donkeys are called!) looks so sad and cynical and I emphatize. Wanted to transfer that same mood onto LJ with this icon! :D

2. Oh, gosh. Well, these are the two stars of Supernatural, as most of you know. I'm pretty sure the scene's from the bloopers. This icon was made by [info]lady_bluefairyand I chose it because it's just so AWW-worthy. Regardless if it's the characters or the actors, those two and their brotherly-love for each other makes me all gooey inside. Yay for character-focused shows! (Kripke - following in the footsteps of teh Joss. Bless! :D)

3. Made by [info]katysam. I selected this icon because A) I love animated icons and B) the clip it's from is hilarious. Jensen Ackles (who plays the older brother on Supernatural and often contributes to the gooey feeling inside my stomach) is on this Australian talk show where he's playing a game entitled "Are You Stupider Than a Fifth-Grader," in which three wrong answers are given as choices and he has to select the one that someone previously and actually believed to be the correct answer! LOL. The questions and choices are absolutely ridiculous and combined with Jensen's utter disdain and bewilderment to them, I fell in love with the clip. When my eyes landed on this beauty with his "OMG?SRLY!?" expression, the cynicism within me got the better of me and I jumped on ganking it. Also, Jensen Ackles conversing with people with Australian accents! C'MON! :D

I just realized I ended every number with :D. I must really love my colon and Ds... lol.

09:14 pm - Did You Forget to Take Your Meds?
 Okay, you know what? I really don't like being sick.

This morning, I woke up at 7:00 AM because my back was achy (and I do not even want to consider how old saying that made me feel). I actually did feel a little better after I used the bathroom, making me think that it was a kidney thing since you need to drink a lot of fluids when you're ill. Anyway, I took advantage of the fact that I woke up so early to watch a Buffy re-run: "Angel." Good old Season 1 was so '90s and cheesy (special/sound effects-wise) that it nearly made me laugh. But, of course, I never would, because teh Joss-ness of the show conquers everything cheesy about it. :) Also, I'd forgotten how much I loved Angel. :D

So because I woke up feeling worse than yesterday, I decided to go back to bed. My lovely radio alarm played for an hour before I realized what was even going on. I pulled myself up groggily and my voice had deepened to the point where I couldn't get a word out without coughing or chocking.

And the best part is? I woke up in my own drool! I'm seriously not even kidding you right now. There was a spot on my pillow that was soaked, as was, my hair! Yeah, gross, I know! This is why I shouldn't sleep with my hair flying free. And, of course, being the good Supernatural fan that I am, I immediately thought of this:

Hai Sammy!

 



(What?! Don't you judge me. This is my way of slowly working my way into a picspam of  
 my own! :D Doesn't hurt that the scene was hilarious...)

 (P.S. If I do decide to create a picspam one of these days where I will be very bored and ill, 
 does anyone have preferences of what/who they'd like to see? Maybe I should pull an  
 "Aislynn" and tell a little story too? :D)





Anywho, unlike Sam, though, I wasn't having anything that would ... prompt ... drooling. I wasn't having any sort of "happy-noise"-inducing dream. I specifically remember what it was, too! I was talking to my best friend about school and I guess it was a couple of years down the line because she was worried she didn't have enough credits to graduate. (Isn't it super sad how even my dreams revolve around the academic field? :)) So that's out. And, I mean, yeah, I'm sick, but I could still pretty much breathe through my nose. Unless I was habitually breathing through my mouth just so it would help me not cough. *shrugs* I told my brother about this and he said I was drooling because I'm Homer Simpson and I was dreaming about chocolate ice cream - lol. 

---

RANDOM: (as if this entire post was completely relevant! :))

I'm having a love-hate relationship with Photoshop right now. Sometimes the coloring's awesome and sometimes it sucks ass. What the hell, screencaps!?

I should probably go back to reading for school anyway... :(

I'm kind of in love with Placebo (the band; not of the "hey, it's a drug, but not really!" kind) right now. So addictive!

03:10 pm - This world is rough and if a man's gonna make, he's gotta be tough!
Just wanted to say how I love that icon. Truest. Quote. Ever. (Most of the time.) =]

Ugh.

Woke up this morning with an earache that stems down to a throat-ache on the left side of my face. It's been bugging me all day. Not fun. 

And of course, it decided to do this to me during Spring Break. Though, I guess I have a better chance at a quicker recovery this way. I don't have to suffer in school too which is nice. Still, it sucks that my break's going to be spent sick and doing homework. Might have to cancel the one appointment I had to hang out with friends if I don't feel better...

Damn, I want to vid so badly, but I can't! Stupid beginning-vid-anxiety!

Some ideas:
1. Cheap and Evil Girl - SPN; Bela, Sam/Bela? (A Bela vid? "Clearly, I'm insane.") :D
2. Davy Jones - LOST; Des/Kate, AU (this was supposed to be done ages ago)
3. Castle on a Cloud - SPN; Dean, WIAWSNB episodic vid? (yes, another LES MIS song. There must be something wrong with me 'cause I shouldn't be finding LES MIS and SPN this compatible!)
4. A Boy Named Sue - SPN; Sam&stand-in-Dad!Dean (Sam really doesn't like being called "Sammy" "Sue")
5. Buddy Holly - LOST or SPN; Sawyer/Kate (dude, Sawyer in glasses and Kate's '50s hairdo in "I Do!" - C'mon!), Sam/FC

Am I ever going to get around to any of them. No, 'course not! :(

Guys, I finally handed in my major declaration paper. Picked Psychology. (Now I hope I didn't make a royally f*cked-up decision.) Just a relief to have it out of my hands, y'know? Now I need to pick classes and find myself a job (even though I've had no experience with anything and I don't do club stuff much. Knew that'd bite me in the ass one day). Grr...

Just took a midterm, and even though, I need to study like crazy for the one I have on Thursday (and Monday) tomorrow, I really want a break right now ...

Soooo... meme time! :D Get it? "ME""ME" time? *blank stares all around whilst crickets chirp* Ah, you people! *walks away unamused*

Meme #1; ganked from  [info]married_n_mich:

- December 31 -
You are fun to be with and have a good sense of humor. You are very ambitious and hate it when people try to bring you down. You are logical, social and loyal.QuizGalaxy.com
Positive Traits:
energetic, dependable, reliable, perceptive, detail-oriented
Negative Traits:
unimaginative, overly serious, oversensitive, insecurity, compulsive
'What does your Birthdate mean?' at QuizGalaxy.com


Well, that was easy. The negatives sound about right, and so do some of the positives, but in no way, am I ambitious? Seriously, aspiration and me? We're total enemies...


Meme #2; ganked from popcornleader and mistojen:

Rules:
Pick 10 people and give them the "you make my day" award. If you're picked, you are charged with picking 10 of your own. Those that have done this before (a.k.a. see Kayla and Jen) can let this one pass... :)

09:14 pm - Shush!
Dear Distant Relatives Currently Downstairs,

So, um, I don't know if you know, but I've been procrastinating the shit out of my weekend and totally haven't gotten to do any work. And, of course, this is midterm week(s) (Yay![/sarcasm]).

I am presently "viciously fucked," in the words of the lovely reaper, Mason, unless I do some reading and make the outlines for the essay and short answers on the midterm I have Tuesday. I also need to read through Book 6 of The Iliad by Monday and I just finished Book 4. Don't know if you know this, but The Iliad if a long fucking poem. Like epic-ly long. So it's gonna take me a while.

And you all talking to each like you're deaf and laughing like hyenas isn't helping me any.

What the hell are you laughing at, anyway? My dad isn't funny! He's not. He's irritating and childish. Another brother - just what I need. *eyeroll*

Also, what the hell, people?! You came over because you wanted to visit our new house. You mean this new house ... that we moved into one year ago... Little late, doncha think?

truly,
your upstairs neighbor with attuned sense of hearing,
Maria

Dear Self,

Stop thinking about Eric Bana and Brad Pitt and shiny, golden muscles. You are NOT going to watch Troy in lieu of reading the Iliad

truly,
your (trying to be)-honest-working student self,
Maria

12:26 am - New Layout ... except not...
I don't why I insist in calling it a new layout when the layout is actually exactly the same; it's just the header and the colors (and possibly fonts)that have changed.

Well, in any case, new prettiness.

Desmond/Penny get me every time! It's their damn theme music. It pulls at the heartstrings... 
Sub-P.S. If the writers don't actually get these two characters together at the end, there will be some serious ass-kicking. I'm not even kidding... Beware the wrath of Maria... *evil laugh*

Anywho, "Promise" is there because of the overall theme in which Des and Penny promise to find each other ... duh. :)

And the sidebar headlines are from Karolina's "In the Sun" Des/Penny vid. This is freaking beautiful and heartbreaking. And it so reminds me of those two that I had to utilize some way!

P.S. Of course I didn't make this header tonight in order to avoid studying for midterms! Why would anyone even presume such a thing!![/sarcasm end]
