Okay, it is significantly harder to be upset while I'm watching Muppet Treasure Island and eating marshmallow fluff on graham crackers.

I AM AN ADULT.

I will be housesitting for my dad this weekend (Friday afternoon through Monday afternoon -- whoooo boy) and will be aaaallllll aloooooooooonnnnnnne except for two very stupid dogs. And while I would like to take this opportunity to catch up on all of the homework I've been slacking off on this quarter, ha ha ha ha, I'll also probably be very bored with only the company of his very questionable taste in DVD entertainment at hand.

SO!

Rec me things to watch! I am woefully underinformed as to what people are watching these days, besides my weekly viewing of Dexter, Venture Bros., Supernatural, South Park, and Bored to Death. ... I feel like I'm missing something but I can't remember what.

I'm pretty easy to please, although I guess I should add that my favorite genre is "awkwardness and failure." Is that a genre? If not, it should be. My one requirement is that I like multitasking, so nothing subtitled unless the English option is A) readily available and B) good enough to not cause ear-bleeding, please and thank you. ♥

WHAT IS THIS. I DON'T EVEN KNOW. BUT I WANT MORE OF IT.

Today I found out that I have an illegitimate five-year old half-brother!

... Help me pick out a card to send to my dad :'D

Gchat excerpts. You only wish you knew what we were talking about. (Actually, you don't.)

achtung_baby ... i actually just typed that sentence

I like to think I'm a reasonable person. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt! I do my best to see things from the perspectives of others and understand life choices that, however annoying, are not my own!

So with all that said:

WHY IN GOD'S NAME WOULD YOU LET YOUR SMALL CHILD ROLLERSKATE IN THE GROCERY STORE?

Little Sally, you should consider yourself extremely fortunate that I chose not to beat you to death with a box of tampons. NEXT TIME YOU WILL NOT BE SO LUCKY.

vulchu: BE MY ROMANTIC LIGHTNING ROD
achtung_baby: ...OKAY?

vulchu: AT FIRST
achtung_baby: q09uwrgl ow i just sneezed and whacked my face on the wall

I think I about broke even birthday-wise. I mean, okay, so I got nothing whatsoever from my family! Even cake! ALL I WANTED WAS CAKE. I HAVE BEEN CRAVING SO MUCH CAKE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. So that sucked. But on the other hand I feel like a jerk whining about it, because I am now 22 years old and no longer entitled to joy. Which, you know, is cool. I don't want to sound entitled! I'm just seriously craving cake. It is the one time of the year when people buy it for me so I don't have to get terrifying seven dollar Winco cakes, which are always full of pain and regret, and moreso after I eat the entire thing in a day.

ON THE OTHER HAND (THE GOOD ONE) opalinesque is magical and bought me paid time, and gulliblesnail DRAWS THE CUTEST THINGS IMAGINABLE and gaisce likes to hurt me with love and wonderseal got me the best card ever, so. My friends save the day again. :D

In completely unrelated news, I've been hanging out with my siblings recently, and, over the course of the last week-ish, we've rewatched three seasons of Reboot. Which I enjoyed as a young impressionable child, but was vaguely ashamed to be watching when we first started, in that it was the most painfully generic and unfunny thing ever. And then somewhere during season three I realized that it had actually gotten genuinely cool without me noticing, and I wasn't having sympathy embarrassment for everyone involved anymore! It was a very bizarre sudden realization, and I'm not entirely sure how that happened, but... I'm not complaining.

Anyway, the big opera finale is still amazing. Every series should wrap up like that.

Tonight I discovered Popobawa, the mythical Tanzanian ass-rape ghost. Now every part of my heart and soul yearns for this to feature prominently in an episode of Supernatural. Or at least bad fanfic and/or art of it trying to hump Dean.

MAKE THIS HAPPEN FOR ME, FLIST

Today I went to lunch with my dad, only to discover that he's growing a goatee and he's really into Mamma Mia!

... I don't know how I feel about anything anymore.

This poll is for science.

Are you a dog person or a cat person?

Maaaaan, I think I ended up with a B instead of an A in my Flash class by about five points.

Not entirely related, but not entirely unrelated, I have generally felt like this all month:



I hope September is more awesome.

My mom is playing the WiiFit using our Hitler Mii and complaining, "Oh, Hitler, you suck!" every time she fails at the balance games.

... Also, our giant family of MGS Miis is throwing shoes at him. I might be more amused by this than I should be.

An Open Letter To The Guy Who Looks Like Jim Gaffigan And Keeps Sitting Next To Me At Work:

I can't tell if you're flirting with me or if you're just really friendly, but either way it's weirding me out. Also, stop calling me pretty. Also, why do you remember my name when you see me in the hall? I don't remember yours, because you look exactly like Jim Gaffigan and I don't care. Also, you're clearly like fortysomething and I am clearly not. Please take my nervous laughter as a hint and go away.

Seriously,
Emilee

Also, guys, I can't reply to everyone who commented to my last post but I love all of you. ♥ Thanks for the good feelings. You can all be my new dads.

This is a completely gratuitous post! But if you have any interest in me potentially winning a contest or at the very least warming the cockles of my heart by paying attention to me, I would appreciate it a lot if you would

~VOTE FOR ME~

in this probably-pointless photography contest. It only takes one click! And at the very least you'll get to see some pretty colors if you click the link.

I am so so so so tired. But I finished my last week of class and didn't die, so that's something! To celebrate, I'm going to sleep.

When did my livejournal entries become so boring?

So there's that "top ten Disney songs" meme going around, and, guys, it's like YOU FOUND MY WEAKNESS. I'm not even going to tell you how much time I spent composing this list and how much it broke my heart to cut things out of it.

( But I think this is a quality list right here. )

SEVEN PAGE PAPER FROM HELL HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND TURNED IN oh god it feels so good to get that off my shoulders.

But more importantly.

Brian Michael Bendis is coming in to talk to the class next week.




. . . Yeah.

I just made a list of all the essays and projects I have due in the next two weeks! It's hung above my desk, highlighted in bright yellow, helpfully and accurately titled "OH SHIT DUE DATES!"

Below the cut is a summary of how this makes me feel.
