Confessions of a Geek (original) (raw)

How to Have a Perfect Weekend:

--Play the piano while no one's around to hear you.
--At least an hour of Guitar Hero. Maybe two.
--Watch the new Big Time Rush with your sister and your dog.
--Catch up on Psych; observe much sexy karate and Lassie and Gus tapdancing and a crazy hot lab assistant named Tanya who is, basically, the same as your Tanya, oh god Psych what is this.
--Watch an episode of Brotherhood you've been waiting for.
--Maybe (possibly) fall a little bit in love with Ed/Ling.
--Assemble a fanfiction meme instead of sleeping, and remember why you love fic so much.
--Realize that your favorite Ouran fic ever has a sequel now, and read it at two in the morning with vague and futile attempts not to make terrible emotional Ouran-ish choking noises.
--Send fic to artemisrampant and fall asleep around 3:30 waiting for her reply.
--Wake up at 8:30 the next morning after some very strange dreams, realize your room is bright and the window is open and it's not worth the effort to go back to sleep, and have the house to yourself for two glorious hours.
--Spend the entire day magnificently tormented by images of droplets of water between Tamaki's shoulderblades, and humming Tsumetai Yoru to yourself, and repeating the phrase "galaxy-drowning love" over and over and over.
--Stand on top of the tallest rock in Stage Fort Park and sing Into the Fire and God Knows as loud as you feel like it.
--Eat a frigging goddamn delicious burger, CHRIST.
--Think too much and too little. Don't worry.

INTERNET, MY LOVE, I HAVE RETURNED TO YOU. Well, I wasn't really gone, as most of you know, but YEAH. LJ-POSTING. IT HAS BEEN A WHILE. Real life kind of... generally didn't go well, for a while there-- ask me if you're hugely curious, but it's really not that interesting. HOWEVER, it is summer now (thank god), and so I can tell you all stories about what has happened with my summer-type activities!

--krhenrick and x_crying_wolf_x and I beat Trauma Team! OBVIOUSLY THIS IS IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO BE LISTED FIRST YES. Honestly, though, not only is it by far the best game in the series, but it fixes pretty much all the problems I had with the previous entries. Well, not really "problems" exactly, but the thing about Trauma Center is I like the conceit, and it's always fun to play with friends, but it's more than a little ridiculous. And unlike Phoenix Wright, which takes the ridiculousness and runs with it (and gives you a hugely engaging cast of characters to boot), Trauma Center takes itself intensely seriously. TT doesn't do away with that entirely (I'm looking at you, Naomi, though it's somewhat more forgivable with forensics), but it's not afraid to have fun and to actually be funny on its own terms. Also, it's not afraid to give its characters actual personalities. AND OH MY GOD TRAVIS WILLINGHAM
IT IS TOTALLY WORTH IT JUST FOR TRAVIS WILLINGHAM YOU GUYS

--chevy_the_geek and I went to Canobie Lake and talked to a coconut. This is totally normal behavior I don't know what you're talking about.

--AVPS EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~ :DDDDDD Watched it with krhenrick, artemisrampant, the_binksdance, spinners_grove, chevy_the_geek, hey_lookit, stella_muse, Andrea and Allie over artemisrampant's house and it was GLORIOUS. Possibly even better than the first, though goodness were we terrifying about it. THE FANGIRL SQUEALS BROKE SOUND BARRIERS, I AM PRETTY SURE but ffffff I wouldn't have wanted to watch it any other way.

--And then artemisrampant and I saw Rent at the Rep in Portsmouth! I wasn't quite sure what to expect going in but YOU GUYS IT WAS FANTASTIC. I haven't seen Rent on an actual stage before-- I've seen the movie, and I've seen the filmed version of the last performance-- but fkfjdkfjslkdfj it was fantastic and riveting and beautiful and oh god you guys, oh god. What You Own is one of the most intense things I've ever seen EVER, OH GOD. This has kind of become my Official Headcanon Cast, you guys. (Also, I went home and wrote some terribly silly Mark!fic immediately afterwards yessssss)

--We went into Salem for thepov's birthday and that was an awesome time as well! We saw Inception, which I loveded, and I ate a delicious crepe, which I also loveded, and we went into Harrison's and somehow I bumped into the right clerk because he showed me pretty much EVERY SINGLE SOUL EATER THING YOU COULD EVER WANT IN THE WORLD. I was v. depressed that I didn't have enough money to buy everything because eeee eeeeee eeeeeeee <3333333

--And, you know. Lots of hanging around the house and hanging out with others &etc. &etc. ALSO LOTS OF DEGRASSI, AS chevy_the_geek WILL ATTEST

DEGRASSI DEGRASSI FOREVER

I haven't been quite as productive as I've been meaning to be, but somehow I am finding myself not minding. XD
