New header and layout!

I was so tired of how dark it was before. I needed something much lighter. Plus I adore that pic of Emma.

I know I'm the worst LJ friend and even though I promise to try harder, I haven't gotten much better at it. I'm sorry.

I have a couple of new fandoms: The Vampire Diaries and How I Met Your Mother.

The Vampire Diaries has the vampires/hott guys appeal. I'm not really a fan of some of the girls on the show, but the brothers more than make up for it. I don't like Elena, so I have no real ship in it which makes watching a lot more relaxing. It's been fun so far. I'm behind quite a few episodes already, but I figured I'd catch up during winter hiatus.

As for HIMYM, I know it's been on forever now, but after Big Brother was over I needed a new show, and I had heard so many amazing things about that one so I checked it out. I watched the whole show from s1-s5 (which it's currently on) and I fell in love with it. It's absolutely hilarious. Barney Stinson may be one of the most awesome characters ever.

I realized it's so much easier to enjoy a show as a whole if you stay away from the online fandom. I think I learned my lesson the hard way with the OTH, GH, and Twilight fandoms. Those are some of the worst ones. I've been really good at staying away from it for my new shows. I'm quite proud of myself.

Any other show recommendations? I could always use more tv in my life.

I'm updating my top 10 guys list. Quite a few newbies should show up this time. I'll be posting that soon.

New Header!  I had that KS one for way too long. 

Life has been uneventful for the most part.  I've felt much better lately.

I talked to my best friend for the first time in a while a few nights ago.  She may move back home for graduate school next year.  I'm excited!  I rarely get to see her these days.

GH has been owning my soul.  I love JaSam more this time around than I did the first time which I didn't think was possible.  It's pretty epic how they still gives me butterflies after all these years.

BB finale on Tuesday!  Jordan FTMFW!  

I watched the Vampire Diaries pilot.  I actually liked it for the most part.  I tried reading the books and can't get into them.  I read the first 14 chapters of the first one, and it was just not my thing.  Elena annoys the crap out of me.  I doubt I'll finish reading the rest.  I will continue to watch the show though.

That's about it. =)

Oh god, this season has officially gone to shit just like I feared it would.  Why couldn't our original final 4 alliance have just stuck?  People like to blame Jeff since he was basically the leader of the side, but they all contributed to it's downfall.  Michele and her constant throwing Russell under the bus, admitting to conversations that never happened, Russell and his shadiness, Jordan constantly being in Jeff's ear, and ultimately Jeff for making that final decision.  It just sucks because I would have been okay with any of those 4 winning, and now there's a chance those other 2 idiots might make Final 2.  This is the worst thing ever!  I am not happy.  At least if they are final 2, they will be one of the most forgettable.  It's official, I won't be watching til finale night.

Wow, I honestly feel like I'm having Jeff withdrawals.  I don't think this is normal.  It's only been a few hours.  I refuse to let myself get this attached to another HG again.  This hasn't ever happened to me before with past HGs so it's throwing me off a bit.  It's probably because I spent about 16 hours of every day watching him, and now that he's gone, I miss him like crazy.  I can't even watch the feeds anymore because 1) they're too boring without him and 2) it depresses me to know he's never going to appear when I open them.  I've watched the feeds for a total of 2 minutes since his eviction.  Jordo was crying at the time, and I just couldn't do it, I had to close them.  The flashback plan isn't working for me too well.  Since I've watched all these moments before, I can't exactly pretend they're new and that that's what is going on.  Denial is so hard to live in sometimes. =[

The only upside to this whole thing is that I will finally have my life back and I'll definitely be a much better LJ friend.

ETA:

All these Jeff interviews from today have definitely made things better.  I'm so thankful for them.

I felt like such crap the past week.  I was exhausted 24/7 and I kept dropping weight.  It was starting to worry me because all I wanted to do was sleep nonstop.  Fortunately I'm feeling somewhat better now.  I didn't actually sleep last night so I'm hoping it's a good sign that I'm not uber tired right now.  Cross my fingers I'm recovered from whatever the hell was wrong.

Today's GH should be epicly amazing!  It's our first JaSam kiss in over 2 years and then we should be getting our Sexico in Mexico tomorrow.  God, I'm beyond excited for this!  I have freaking butterflies!

The BB fandom has been driving me insane lately.  If you're going to turn on someone for believing a ridiculous lie, you'd turn on most likely every HG ever.  No one plays a perfect game.  Paranoia happens in the BB house, it's basically a HG in itself.  Sure J & J have been driving me up the freaking wall half the time lately (mainly Jordo), but I'm not just going to stop rooting for them.  That's insanity.  I think a big part of it for me is that the game play part of the game is usually my least favorite part about BB which is why most the people I root for end up being some of the first to go.  J & J have made it to the final 5, if either or both get evicted sometime soon, I'd be okay with that because they ended up going further than I ever expected.  I still want them to make it to the end though because I really can't root for anyone else.  Only 3 more weeks to go, and I'm sure things will get even crazier.  I'm so ready!

Oh, and how much does my icon rock?!  It looks so bad-ass!

OMFG!  They played their song!  I teared up!  This is amazing!

Sorry I've been such a bad LJ friend lately, it's BB season, and I rarely have time for much else.

That being said, I had to make this entry after I saw Meg and Roxy made one.  Everyone please vote for Jeff HERE!  You can vote up to 10 times if you want.  I would really really appreciate it, 1 vote or 10.  He needs to win it.  I will love you all forever and ever if you do so.


^ Don't you want that gorgeous man safe for 2 more weeks?  I know I do!  So please vote.

Seriously Lydia, you just threw pretty much every single person that was on your side under the bus?!  She needs to be evicted like now!

I probably won't be around much for a while since BB just started again, and it takes over my life in the summer.  Plus now I have the feeds thanks to Roxy, and it's even more addicting.  I usually only stick around for a few weeks til my favorites are gone though, and Jeff and Jordan look like they're in serious hot water right now, so I may be back pretty soon.  I hope not though.  I'm tired of my favorites being evicted so early.  I may turn into a horrible LJ friend though and if you want to cut me, that's fine.  I completely understand. =)

I remember I did this once long ago but never got around to giving my responses, so I'm doing it again.

*steals from callmeadreamer *

top fives meme!

Comment with a subject for a top five (ships, songs, books, etc) you would like to see my answer. I will post my answers in a separate entry. Be as specific or as broad as you'd like.

New profile pic...I hadn't changed mine in so long.  I really liked how the coloring turned out.

Spent the day with my BFF.  So much fun.  I hadn't spent that much time with her in so long.  We actually talked about Twilight at some point during dinner, and I realized it was the first time I have ever really talked about it with someone in person (instead of just online) that actually knows all about it.  I can talk about the first movie with 2 of my sisters, but that's about it because they haven't read the books.  As for my other sister who has read them, we don't share the same opinions so we usually just don't discuss it.  So it was really quite interesting to be able to speak about it verbally with someone who got it.  Plus I found out she reads fanfiction too, and she had no idea I did as well.  We recommended some fics to each other.  It was awesome.

Watched Star Trek again.  It was still as amazing this time as it was last.  My Pinto love just keeps growing.  Spork FTW!  *points to icon*

I was watching that movie Another Cinderella Story last week, and that Drew Seeley guy looked so familiar to me.  I knew I had seen him before, but I just couldn't place it.  Then I decided to watch s1 OTH again and when I came across 1x04, it hit me...he played Vegas!  He was a pretty minor character (had like 1 line) but I remember when Brooke says "Shut up, Vegas!" during the I Never game, and that's him.  I swear he looked older on OTH than he did in that movie yet that was in '03 and the movie was in like '08.  Weirdness.

Ugh, I ruined my sleep schedule once again.  Went to bed last night at 6 after not sleeping the night before thanks to a fic I couldn't stop reading, woke up around 2 in the morning, then went back to bed and woke up at 7 this morning, and now I'm tired at 1:30.  It's way too early to sleep though.  I can't wake up that early again.  It'll drive me crazy.

Guess who had internet problems again?  I'm so tired of it always happening.  I may just get a new provider.

So did I miss much this past week I was gone?

LMFAO!  I saw this somewhere and it cracked me up.



Someone needs to make a text icon with that!  I'd so use it.

I read the Remember Me script last night, and omg, I bawled my eyes out.  I knew there was some twist in it, but I totally didn't see that coming.  I don't know how I'm going to watch that movie.  It was hard enough reading it, but seeing it play out.  Oh my, my heart is going to break big time.

So they finally got their happy ending, and as hard as I thought it was going to be say goodbye, having such a perfect ending sort of makes it easier to accept.  It's easier to let go.  They finally got the family they always wanted.  No couple will ever top Lucas and Peyton in my heart, and that's pretty amazing.  They will always be my ultimate OTP. 

The 2 coda quotes from 5x13 and 6x24 came full circle just like them.

"Make a wish and place it in your heart.  Anything you want.  Everything you want.  Do you have it?  Good. Now believe it can come true.  You never know where the next miracle is going to come from.  The next smile. The next wish come true.  But if you believe that it's right around the corner.  And you open your heart and mind to the possibility of it.  To the certainty of it.  You just might get the thing you're wishing for.  The world is full of magic.  You just have to believe in it.  So make your wish.  Do you have it?  Good.  Now believe in it.  With all your heart."



"Take a look at yourself in a mirror, who do you see looking back?  Is it the person you want to be?  Or is there someone else you were meant to be, the person you were meant to be but fell short of?  Is someone telling you you can't or won't?  Because you can.  Believe that love is out there.  Believe that dreams come true every day.  Because they do.  Sometimes happiness doesn't come from money or fame or power.  Sometimes happiness comes from good friends and family and the quiet nobility of leading a good life.  Believe that dreams come true every day.  Because they do.  So take a look in that mirror and remind yourself to be happy because you deserve to be.  Believe that.  And believe that dreams come true every day.  Because they do."

Just got back from watching Star Trek!  I was never a Star Trek fan before, but I figured, the movie had hott guys and everyone was raving about it might as well go watch it.  Plus I hadn't seen my best friend in months and she wanted to watch it again.  I loved it so vulcan much! lol

Chris Pine is so gorgeous it's insanity.  Definite Top 10 material.  UNF!  When he first came on screen, I had to bite back a moan.  The ovaries twitched.

I'm such a sap, I totally teared up at the beginning.  It broke my heart.  So sad. =[

I laughed so much more than I thought I would too.  It definitely had a lot of humorous moments.  I got a bit confused at parts, and it reminded me of the confusion that happens to me when I watch TSCC, but I understood the main points and that's all that matters.

Btw, Spock is so much fun to say!  I found myself randomly saying it through the movie.

Overall I definitely recommend it.  Although that's coming from someone who doesn't know anything about Star Trek so I'm not sure how much someone who loves it would love the movie.

New Header!!!  I hadn't changed mine since my birthday almost 2 months ago, and I used to change it every week.  I finally re-downloaded my photoshop so you can probably expect that again.

I had to make something with those LP wedding stills.  I really liked how the coloring turned out.  It was originally going to be in black and white, but I changed my mind. 

5 more days! ♥

I really suck at updating this thing, so I will try to get better at it.

+ My cat keeps coming inside, and I honestly have no clue how.  She's usually outside, and the door isn't open nor are any windows so I am stumped as to how she does it.  I keep taking her out and she just magically reappears inside.  It's very odd.

+ I finally installed my new webcam I got for Christmas.  I doubt I'll use it very much because I don't really see the point in them, but it's pretty so that's something.

+ I'm actually looking forward to General Hospital on Monday.  It's been so long since I've been able to say that, but I guess that's what happens when a half-naked Sam jumps into Jason's arms.

+ I need to download photoshop again soon.  I surprisingly miss it.  Plus I need a new header.

+ Speaking of missing things, I miss all my music I used to have on my computer before it went kaput.  I'm way too lazy to add it all back.  I don't even have all my RBD music on here yet.

+ On the RBD front, I really need to get over my ill-feelings towards Maite. I haven't really liked her in over half a year, and it's really starting to bug me now because I don't even understand where these feelings stem from anymore.  I know where they started, but I've come a long way from there too.  My biggest problem was that she just started seeming fake to me.  She wasn't anywhere near the same girl she used to be, she seemed like a wannabe Any clone.  No offense to Any or Mai fans of course.  I just couldn't stand her at some point, but I thought I was over feeling that way, and it turns out I'm not.  I do think that some of her fans are a part of the reason though.  You know how certain fans can ruin things for you?  I think that happened to me.  Cross your fingers that one day I'll like her again.

+ It's insanity how much Ucker and JT remind me of each other here:
( Hottness Ahead...Proceed with Caution )

It's about time!  I've really missed all of y'all.  My time away sucked big time.

First my computer got a virus, what else is new? It's fine now, but I plan on ordering a new one soon.  I so need it with how much this one hates me.  Then I twisted my ankle and took some pain medication and if you know me, you know that medicine of any kind puts me to sleep and it doesn't wear off for days so I spent my time sleeping.  Then one Sunday I woke up with my neck/shoulder feeling really sore and I thought I had just slept on it wrong so my sister massaged it out, but the soreness wouldn't go away.  A few days later there was some swelling behind my neck and near my left shoulder blade and it looked like I had been bit by some sort of insect so I just ignored it.  Then my whole body started itching especially my neck and back and the swelling started hurting and had turned red and looked blistery. I had also started getting some of them on my left arm.  I had no idea what it was so I went to the ER which is huge for me because I don't do hospitals.  Turns out I got shingles.  I was pretty shocked because usually the people who get that are a lot older, most over 60 so why would a 21 year old get it?  Apparently I had too much stress and that's what caused it.  Stupid anxiety!  I had apparently gone to the hospital too late and they couldn't give me some anti-viral medication to stop it so I had to wait it out.  The outbreak had to continue on til the end.  They gave me more pain medication and some antibiotics so when it healed, it would heal completely.  The next week was beyond painful because I started getting more on my back and left arm.  It just got worse and worse.  I can honestly say I finally understand the expression "blinding pain" now.  At one point because I had to keep them clean, my mom was washing them down with a rag or something and I'm not sure what she did, but I saw white.  I could not see anything but white, there was a buzzing in my ears, I felt faint, and my back was in so much pain.  It was the worse pain I'd ever been in.  Not fun at all.  I could barely sleep even though the medication put me to sleep but whenever I did sleep, my back and arm would hurt, so it was just not a pleasant time.  I couldn't get on my computer because my arm was in so much pain I couldn't use it.  Fortunately they're now healing and all that are left are the scars.  They should clear up in a few weeks.  I don't ever want to go through that again.

So what did I miss in the 3 weeks I was gone?  Anything interesting?
