So, I had an inservice day today. And I told myself that I would try to have the perfect day - a day where I made no mistakes and did everything I was supposed to, even if it wasn't fun, because I would feel accomplished.

Like, for example-- I posted today. I ran for twenty minutes. I got a chapter on HPFF validated. I did my laundry. I studied.

I do not feel accomplished. I feel so unaccomplished that it pisses me off.

So, I have to wonder -- what is a perfect day?

I have a pretty short attention span, seriously. I'm supposed to be studying, but, mer. I'll do it later.

As you can tell, I love lists. And I loooove lists about boys.



James Marsden - 10
Damn, this list was really hard, especially putting James Marsden on the bottom of the top 10. But considering just how many guys I cut out... Anyway-- I have always seen the appeal of James Marsden in his hair and his eyes and his body, and one of the only reasons that he isn't higher on the list is, unfortunately, his nose. Call me nitpicky (which I am) but it irks me. However, the stubble in X-Men (2??) was hot. Incredibly so. And if he still had it, I would bump him up some.












Ed Westwick - 9
Oh, Gossip Girl. One of the reasons that I just adore it so much is how hot the guys are. Especially in the later episodes-- when Chuck has been going through an ordeal, to say the least-- he has gotten scruffier and so much cuter, Yummy. Add on his natural British accent (heard in The Dark Night for like one line) and he is hot =D



Tom Welling - 8
Mmmmmmm Smallville you have done damn good for yourself. There are so many things right about Tom Welling it is really hard to name-- I love his name, which is an initial turn-on, his voice, his lovely lovely lovely hair (I have a big hair fetish) and top it off with those abs and it's hard not to resist. While it's a shame that I never watched those Smallville DVDs I got for Christmas two years ago... he will live on, man.


Paolo Nutini - 7
I know that I will get a lot of disagreeing on this, but, c'mon, look at Paolo. With him being very, very Italian (mmm) and having that perfect hair/eyes/face/body, it was hard not to put him on the list. Oh, and his voice. TOTALLY WAS ON JANE AUSTEN BOOK CLUB AND SCRUBS. Hahaha :D



Orlando Bloom - 6
HOW COULD YOU NOT PUT THIS LOVELY MAN ON ANYONE'S LIST. Look at him look at him look at him. His hair, his accent, his remarkable knack of being absolutely terrible at acting... I just love it all. And him being a pirate and working all hard-- yeah, work hard, Orlando. Work damn hard because mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,


Joaquin Phoenix - 5
His eyes are what get me, but I do love his singing and his absolutely flawless face. I actually don't know what to say anymore about these hot guys because they are all so, so, so good, and mmmmmmgh. And, like, his lips, and everything-- yummy.



Heath Ledger - 4
RIP, Heath. Your gorgeousness and briliant acting (The Dark Knight was so good and it was basically carried on his shoulders) will be so, so missed. Your accent-- and that hair,  black or blonde or Brokeback-- very good. A++.


Christian Coulson - 3
OK, I have to take a shower, but let me just say this man is the only reason I watch Chamber of Secrets anymore.


Shane West - 2
Love A Walk to Remember, love his jaw, love his stubble, love his hair, love his deep voice, I just love it all. (you can see I'm slowly going downhill on talking)


Sean Faris - 1
I don't even know if this guy was in anything, but he is so perfect.

HONORABLE MENTIONS:


Danny Masterson
HIS SCRUFFINESS WILL NEVER BE MATCHED.


Tom Felton
Yum Harry Potter


Chace Crawford
It's only 'cos I don't like blondes much that he wasn't in the top 10. He is modelesque.


Ted Danson
Yummy yummy yummy -- he got old unfortunately, but he is so yummy with his jaw. Yum.


Leo Decaprio
Sir, you have a funny voice in Romeo and Juliet, but the fact is your attractiveness makes it impossible to care.


John Krasinski
Funny and I just love him.


I know people might disagree with me, but I don't care much :P

Remember when I posted that South Park sucks because it tried to make abuse funny, and then said that Family Guy was a better show because it never pulled that crap?

Well, apparently this week's episode ruins that.

Family Guy, in all honestly, has been going down down down since two seasons ago. Now they're making shots at conservatives every freakin' episode as well as Catholics? What the hell?

Oh, what the hell.

Even though I do hate Twilight, I really want to see the movie. :p

Edwad Anthony Masen Cullen Idiot Renesmee Bella Stars Topaz Melting Pattison.

See, I have read the books. Case in point RIGHT. THERE.

If anyone attacks me, please, be logical. A 'pretty face' does not mean... anything... in determining character.

On we go.

NUMBER ONE- The array of characters in Twilight cater to Stephenie Meyer's fantasies. However, this does not make good writing, and it definitely shows.

The most prominent example, I believe, is in Eclipse, when Jacob and Edward are talking about their love for Bella and she is 'half asleep'. Now, call me critical, but this entire scene I could not believe because it was so ridiculous. Even going past the convenience of Bella being "half asleep" I have seriously read everything those two said in a Q&A with Stephenie Meyer. I am assuming that she loved what she was saying and thought the idea was so romantic that she just shoved it into her book.

Past that, I will give you concrete examples of the ridiculous dialogue that goes on in Twilight books:

"I thought I'd explained it clearly before. Bella, I can't live in a world where you don't exist." - New Moon, page 509.
" No! This is about my soul, isn't it? Carlisle told me about that, and I don't care, Edward, I don't care! You can have my soul. I don't want it without you- it's yours already!" - New Moon, page 69.

NUMBER TWO- The numerous references and comparisons to the two books Wuthering Heights and Romeo + Juliet... actually, doesn't she reference Jane Austen, as well?

Admittedly, I am not one that really likes 1800 books. They drag and are too complicated at points. I have never read either of these books. However, I do have a basic knowledge of both - I have researched Wuthering Heights, out of curiosity, and I have watched Romeo and Juliet.

I do think it's funny that Romeo and Juliet is referenced so damn much. This story is only like Romeo and Juliet in ONE WAY: They fall in love within ten scenes. No joke.
- I hate you,
- Let's talk for the first time
- Blood testing
- Seattle?
- OH YOU BITCH YOU RAPED MY CHICK IN YOU MIND YOU PERV.
- We're in love now and playing question games.
- Meadow.
- Meetin' the Cullens.
- EFF WE'RE GONNA DIE.
- Oh, wait, we're in love now. That's cool.
And then in New Moon Bella becomes COMATOSE? Are you kidding me? Some people get married for years on years and then divorce, how do you think they feel? They sure as hell aren't comatose.

As for Wuthering Heights, from what I saw it was a particularly disgusting novel to read about. It was falling in love, the girl dying, and then Heathcliff ruining the lives around everyone in revenge. Yeah, that's a good premise.

NUMBER THREE- You have to stick to your guns, Meyer.

I did research a little on the whole succubus thing in Breaking Dawn and how Edward could possibly impregnate Bella. There is a lot of detail into this (basically the succubus needs to have sex in order to get sperm, idk, if anyone seriously has a grievance about this I'll look it up) and in Breaking Dawn, Bella says that while she was researching Vampires she ran across Succubus.

No she didn't. I looked. She found Carlisle, and she found vampires. But she did not find the succubus, and Meyer, don't lie to someone who has all of the books. C'mon.

NUMBER FOUR- Edward's appearance really does piss me off.
I won't get into it much because I'm getting tired, but here's a list by some really sweet chick online:


Number of Pages in the Book: 498
The First Hint of a Plot that Is Not Bella and Edward's Romance: page 328
When the Plot Actually Arrives: page 372

Boys that Totally Love Bella (Including Edward Cullen): 5

Approximate Amount of Time Bella and Edward are Romantically Involved Before Bella Is Begging Edward to Turn Her into a Vampire so They Can Be Together Forever: Like, two weeks. Maybe three. The timeline's a bit fuzzy.

References to Edward's Beauty: 165

Broken Down into the following categories -

• Face: 24 (Favorite adjectives: glorious, heavenly, seraphic)
• Voice: 20 (The voice of an archangel, donchaknow.)
• Eyes: 17
• Movement: 11
• Smile: 10
• Teeth: 8
• Muscles: 7
• Skin: 7 (Note: This only contains accounts of Edward's skin being beautiful. I didn't count references to it as "pale," "cold," or "white." If I had, this number would be about ten times larger.)
• Iron Strength or Limbs: 5
• Breath: 4 (EVEN HIS BREATH IS AMAZING.)
• Scent: 4
• Laughter: 3
• Handwriting: 2
• Chest: 2
• Driving Skills: 1

The Number of Times...

  • Edward's Kiss Makes Bella Faint: 1
  • Edward's Kiss Makes Bella's Heart Literally Stop: 1
• Bella Thinks She Isn't Good Enough for Edward: 6
• Edward Is Referred to As Godlike: 5 (Note: This number might be off, as I didn't start counting until three or four mentions in.)
• Edward Tells Bella She's Unnatural: 5
• Edward Sparkles: 3
• Bella is in Mortal Danger: 3
  • Edward Saves Bella from Mortal Danger: 3
• Edward Stalks Bella, For Real: 2 (Note: One of these instances involves watching her sleep every night for, like, months.)
• Bella says "Holy Crow!": 2
• Bella and Edward Argue About Who Loves the Other Most: 1
• Edward's Inability to Read Bella's Mind is Explained: 0

If I was attracted to LJ posts, I would jump this one.

NUMBER FIVE- BELLA IS THE WORST.
We have to hear the entire story in Bella's point of view, and that sucks. She is really whiny, selfish, self-centered, and ... ugggh.

NUMBER SIX- The fans.

Let me elaborate: I am referring to those that call themselves Twihards, the ones that have posters and T-shirts and the soundtrack and squeal when they realize the movie was 200 days away when it was (I have to admit, NOW I am excited for the movie). I am referring to those that have fallen passionately in love with a fictional character, those that are obsessed with Meyer's less-than-perfect writing, those that cannot LISTEN TO REASON. Big one there.

I have gotten in arguments about Twilight. I tell the people: "Listen, I do like Twilight somewhat. It's a guilty pleasure. Easy book. But there are so many things wrong." And then I give them a summary of this list. 

And they talk about how sexy he is? What?

NUMBER SEVEN- The books are really badly written.

I'm taking off of examples from others because I am so tired and I don't have time.

In Breaking Dawn, page 67: "He shuddered convulsingly".
(thanks person from Amazon.)

He lay perfectly still in the grass, his shirt open over his sculpted, incandescent chest, his scintillating arms bare.

Stephenie, do you own a Thesaurus?

Yeah. You do.

NUMBER EIGHT: Edward SPARKLES.

Jacob, who has loved Bella, FALLS IN LOVE WITH HER DAUGHTER.

Bella TEASES JACOB REPEATEDLY OVER THE COURSE OF THESE BOOKS.

HE BREAKS THE HEADBOARDS WHILE THEY'RE DOING IT.

SHE GETS PREGNANT.

SHE HAS NO FLAWS.

THE NAME RENESMEE.

THIS BOOK IS JUST SO RIDICULOUS I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT IT ANYMORE.

Now, you see, I was gonna do 10, but I am getting really tired. It's kind of late, and I haven't even watched Gossip Girl yet.

But, if you people are interested:
http://otahyoni.livejournal.com/130432.html

The best bashing of any book ever.

]---[

This is very random, but has anyone noticed the similarities between WOW and love?

Sex, actually, let me rephrase.

In WoW, you play and you're really into it. You meet some people, and some of them, after one quest, you let go. Some you stay in big groups with. Some you become close with. However, after a while you get bored of the game, and you quit for a while. Your friend/lover goes off and does other quests with other people. Then, after a couple of months, you get really into it again.

TELL ME I'M WRONG.

Worst show on television.

Watching my second episode right now and I swear to God it's the most offensive AND unfunny thing I've ever seen.

There is NOTHING funny about abuse. Even if you try to make it funny, the basics is that it's not funny at all.

At least w/ family guy you don't deal with things this offensive. I know that Family Guy does go into racism, sexism, and a lot of other -isms, but I've never seen them display abuse that way.

What a crap episode.

Cyrus Rose... I mean I kind of remember his name, I think he was in the books... but what an obnoxious voice.

Bart Bass is extremely hot, even if he's kind of old. His gravelly gravel can only be beat by Chuck's.

Blair's mother drama was stupid and boring and I don't care.

Rufus and the Humphreys are still my least favorite characters, though Dan is getting cooler.

Vanessa...??

Nate...?? And Jenny?

What happened, CW? Pay attention before you add more crap.

Serena is an idiot.
Aaron is an idiot.

Kind of... not pleased. Agnes is a crazy bitch. But I do love her name. <3

Blech.

I really want a boyfriend.
I just don't think it's fair, quite frankly.

I'm not ugly.
Not stupid.
Girly.

What else do I need to do?

Whatever.


I'm writing, at least.
Woo.

I don't think there'll be a Gossip girl review this week, except for what a lame episode. On everybody's part.





Go McCain.

So, I finished chapter three, and I hated it, and I'm never rewriting again AFTER CHAPTER FOUR AND THEN I CAN WRITE CHAPTER 51.

Late night tonight. I think.

Just wanted to post. My last soccer game was today.

I am writing chapter four. swear.

Should I be writing? Absolutely.

Doesn't mean I'm going to.

I think now is the time to bring up a very important issue- the issue of Degrassi. What has happened to that show? It used to be so ludicrously bad. Now it's just... it's below pathetic, really, because they took out all of the meaningful characters and put in their shadows.

Boo. Now, I'm gonna try to write.

This week (well, last week) really, really sucked. But, as the title of this post says, I am on my way back to normalcy (I came down with something nasty) and I should be writing Chapter 3 of SIHE shortly.

I realize I haven't talked about SIHE a lot, and I will probably if I want to at some point. But now this is GOSSIPGIRL hour.

"Pret-A-Pet-J" (spoilers:)
Baaad idea from the start, in my opinion. Jenny is one of the worst characters, and though her haircut (and her excess of makeup) is FIERCE it cannot make up for such a weak character, really. I'm happy they cut most of the indecisive crap because, quite frankly, Jenny just sucks.

Nate is still undeniably attractive, but J/N came out of nowhere for me. What? Their relationship wasn't even hinted at last episode (if it was I'm wrong) and out of nowhere this drunk chick is telling me that they're a thing?

I do have to say, though: that final kiss was hot and I want one.

Blair/Chuck, as always, dominated, and I was much more satisfied than last episode. In this episode, you get your conclusion: they love each other but are too obsessed with "the game" to actually be together. This is more than fine in my book, because vanilla relationships do not interest me- Serena/Dan, Jenny/Nate.

I kind of don't like the Humphreys, but Dan is becoming more and more badass so maybe I should stop being mean to him. This episode, I adored how he was being all "Dear Abby" to Blair, even though I was not pleased that Blair couldn't deal with her problem herself and in a better way. I mean, believe me, when it started I thought "this is gonna be sweet" but then... it verged on desperate. Chuck was right in thinking so. (I get off topic a lot)

Here's one thing, though: WHAT THE HELL VANESSA. Stop being such a gullible moron and seriously just shut the hell up. I really don't know what your purpose is on this show other than being Blair's punching bag (which I don't mind, unless you snitch to Dan). Logically, Vanessa shouldn't whine about this, considering it was her that ruined the plan with the Countess or Dutchess or whatever and her that blackmailed Blair in the first place.

Mah. At least there was no old people this one. :P
]---[

I need to write. I need to post by Friday.
Cross your fingers. Seriously

xanne

I am so writer's blocking, and this ad is creeping me out, and the Penguins won, and I feel sick and I'm not sure about something but you know what? Everything can be salvaged with a good Gossip Girl, right?

Wrong. What a depressing episode.

The thing is, I am a mega fan of Blair and Chuck. And I don't want Vanessa to be a part of that ever, especially considering that Vanessa is a freak and I kind of hate her. Vanessa shouldn't be the "sloppy seconds" girl- ie, the one that takes all of Blair's past lovers. I mean, what kind of person does that make her? Why can't she just get with Dan, already? 

Speaking of Dan, I hate the Humphreys. Jenny is completely whiny and she's kind of a waste of time, Dan is too sensitive for the Upper East Side and needs Gregg to come in and make him gay (and if you think that I'm insulting him, I'm not. Look it up on Wikipedia- Dan experiments, and I think Chuck might too. Gossip Girl books, believe it or not, are 10x more intense than the television show). Rufus (well, Rufus and Lily and Bart) are a waste of my time, because really, that's what THE PAST is for. I don't need to her about their sick love for that ugly Van der Woodsen because frankly, I couldn't care less. I mean, even on the OC (I watched like 2 1/2 episodes) the parent drama SUCKS. In Degrassi it SUCKS. SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS...

That being said, I'm starting to warm up to both Eric and Serena. And normally I'm not a fan of Serena, but she's really doing well these last couple of episodes. Not her Queen S thing (which was like a child having a temper tantrum) but I really liked this rebellion.

Nate is awful but he's ridiculously good looking.

And that is all there is to say about this show. I'm gonna watch the next episode and so on and so forth but I JUST WANT BLAIR AND CHUCK TO GET TOGETHER AND SAY I LOVE YOU OR SOMETHING because I got a sick feeling watching this one.

Nancy Drew really has ruined me.

And I think I'm only realizing it now because I'm a lazy ass. Which is so so so true. It only took me 40 dollars, x amount of hours, and lots of frustration to realize this:

I really do not like Nancy Drew games.

Here's what I will say, though: I like watching people play them. I like the idea of mysteries and I think I'm becoming a mystery junkie. Nancy Drew rocks.

But the games are so lifeless. So dull and boring and I can't even get the same kind of excitement that I was searching through in my money wasting endeavors. It's a game that is riddled with tasks that mean absolutely nothing and puzzles that don't have any reason to be there. It's a game that makes something simple into something complicated.

Why am I saying this?

Well, I am frustrated, for one.

There are a lot of reasons for me to be frustrated. I can't write what I want to write because I am plagued by rewrites. I am thinking about something I don't feel like thinking about. I'm insecure and tired and I don't know.

Plain not great.

I'm going to try and write now and get a new layout now that this ND fad is pretty much over.

Yes, I haven't posted in a while. Cry.

1. Boys that are hopelessly and irrationally in love with girls. You get this a lot with music, of course, which is where a lot of this is coming. But in television and movies and everything, if you watch/listen to something about a boy that is in love love love, it's so damn hot. There is nothing else about it. Some good examples are Jim and Pam from the Office (where, even though you KNOW Pam loves Jim back, Jim is so cute in loving Pam), Mr. Darcy in P&P, Chuck and Blair from Gossip Girl, and, if you want a good irrationally in love song, "Love Me Dead" by Ludo.

2. Accents. Australian, Czech, Brazilian, British, Irish... Accents move the world around. Bands with accents are really, really hot, and even though technically he doesn't have much of an accent, Adam Levine's voice when he sings is swoony. Let me see... Coldplay, Muse, Keane, Arctic Monkeys, Hot Hot Heat... every single band makes me swooooon over the voice. I am in love with accents and always will be.

3. Robert Pattison. "'When you read the book,' says Pattison, looking appropriately pallid and interesting even without makeup, 'it's like, "Edward Cullen was so beautiful I creamed myself." I mean, every line is like that. He's the most ridiculous person who's so amazing at everything. I think a lot of actors tried to play that aspect. I just couldn't do that. And the more I read the script, the more I hated this guy, so that's how I played him, as a manic-depressive who hates himself. Plus, he's a 108-year-old virgin so he's obviously got some issues there.'" Basically.

4. Axe. I am in love with Axe. And anything with Hollister. The point is, it smells good. And I can't believe that anyone would hate it, because, in my opinion, it is God. Apparently Axe is supposed to have something in it that piques the female interest, but hell I don't know if that's true. All I know is that it smells like heaven and I would love to kiss a boy with some Axe on.

5. The Dark Knight. Aaron Eckhart's eyes. Christian Bale's body. Heath Ledger's astounding acting skill, may he rest in peace, as well as his delicious forearms. By the way, this movie IS actually really good. I know it made me cry and laugh and made me looove the Joker. But, I mean, there's eyecandy. And I do not deny swooning over eyecandy.

I'm posting another post soon. Just wanted to put this here. :P

I need to go on here more.
And, I need a new layout.

I haven't really done a long-winded Livejournal post in forever, and for that I'm sorry. I guess it was, uh, summer, and stuff, and the fact that, well, I haven't checked up on  LJ lately. And, umm, well, let's be honest here: I haven't written in five days. I'm a terrible facsimile of a sham. (Georgia Nicholson. Who is also going on the 12-hour car ride).

Yeah. I'm going on vacation tomorrow, so welcome to: THE HOURS WHERE I'M PRETTY TIRED 'CAUSE I GOT A REALLY CRAPPY SLEEP LAST NIGHT AND SO I'M TRYING TO JUST NOT SLEEP THIS NIGHT AT ALL SO I CAN BLOW OFF HALF OF THE DRIVE 'CAUSE, YOU KNOW, READING IS FUN BUT NOT WHEN THERE ARE SIX BOOKS. AT. A. TIME.

Oh, and there's Seinfeld and Arrested Development, I guess.

truth-

actuality or actual existence.

1) Yes, I still like you. I don't like you for the same reasons that I used to. It's seriously just something that will fade away over the summer.
2) Yeah, maybe I do want a boyfriend. So what.
3) I am sick of everyone else getting the excitement. I am sick of having to watch it.
4) I cannot wait until summer.
5) I have to find a new hobby.
6) I am really pissed over the new crush thing.
7) I am too arrogant about my looks (which, apparently, are nonexistent)
8) Boys suck.
9) Girls suck.
10) I really hope dreams mean nothing.
11) I feel like a third wheel all of the time.
12) You're creeping me out.
13) You're annoying the hell out of me.
14) I think I am a good writer.
15) I say I love weekends, but really, I get too much grief, from my dad, my brother, my sister's friends, and just life in general.

Bandwagoners.

And, I have been called one before, which imho is total bullshit.

Penguins, obviously.

It's just, because we're so close to the Cup, all of a sudden all of these people are flaunting their support when in all honesty they can't even name five players. Hell, I can name ... Malkin Crosby Hossa Dupuis Sick-ora malone talbot roberts laraque staal hall kennedy scuderi gonch letang gill sydor fleury conklin sabourin.

20.

Out of... 26.

I can't believe I forgot Ruutu, Orpik, and Whitney. Beech, Taffe, and Eaton are no surprise, considering that I never notice them on the ice and Eaton has been gone for so long with his broken whats-it that I forgot he was even on the team.

But, geeze, hockey aside, don't you hate people like that? Like, God, you're allowed to not get into something. When the Steelers were getting ... dude, what do they get in football?, I was like, 'Kay, it'd be cool if they win, but I don't really give a shit'.

Hockey is so different. Really.
