reanimatrix

and my room mates were all set up to let me get Torri, because she's actually 10 years old, and fairly laid back, I just had to wait until the kitten adjusted, though roomie 1 was all set up to let me get her today, and then I called to see if she was okay with cats and she's been adopted. FML.

I am making this update from an airplane.

:O

That is all.

cross posted to facebook and twitter. :3

So have the only KW interruption joke that is actually FUNNY, ever.

And like Kanye's original "faux pas" it's funny cuz it's TRUE. Taylor Swift is worthless and talentless, and she stole her "moment of thunder" from Beyonce. Yes, I do care to this day because in Kanye's place I would have done the same thing, sober. If Stephanie Meyer were to win an award over Suzanna Clarke, and I were a famous author I would march up there and be like "Bitch, you don't deserve this award, you're illiterate!" So actually the Kanye West jokes annoy me more than anything, because we have this thing against calling out people on undeserved awards and lack of talent, which is why entertainment these days is so fucking mediocre.

Please note that this rant was set off by a picture of Deathwing in a monocle and top hat harrassing Arthas, and take it with due seriousness. ;)

ETA: And I do hope you take care of this problem promptly, Sir Deathwing. But since I deeply suspect Knaak is giving Metzen blow jobs, I doubt we'll get rid of Rhonin any time soon, so I'll just keep /spitting on him every time I have to be near him.

So have a list of goggies (for the lol illerate, that is doggies) I will own someday:

1. Puli- LOOK AT HIM. HE HAS DREADLOCKS. HE LOOKS LIKE RASTA DOG. ZOMG.

2. Bichon Frise - One of the few small dogs that I would own, because they're a sturdy breed and can be dropped without breaking in half. Also, it's a TINY LITTLE PUFF BALL. And I love that they're almost always like :D This may actually be the only small dog on this list.

3. Rottweiler- Cuz I love them. LOOK AT THEM. I am 5'1", and I think part of their allure is the fact that I am terrified of people and no one would EVER fuck with me, even if the dog is the sweetest thing in the world, which my Rottie would be (cuz most of them ARE, if raised by someone who appreciates them as more than a dog to make them look badass). Only cool people who realize Rotties are awesome and can read goggie body language would talk to me, and hey I am all for meeting more people who love dogs. :3

4. Doberman Probably my favorite (this is a very... subjective word, because I LOVE THEM ALL) of the "big scary breeds" cuz they are so elegant. I really love the dobie/rottie coloring too. While rotties and pit bulls look like big buff bouncer dogs (which I also love) dobies are elegant and remind me more of grey hounds in build. This is the classy guard dog, here. I've also met several dobies who let my obnoxious small child ass (I was about 5) poke them and prod them and pet them and cuddle them without biting my fingers off, and I am honestly surprised my MOTHER didn't bite my fingers off sometimes.

5. Pit Bull Terrier- Another "vicious" breed that I have had lots of experience to the contrary with. I have also gotten into several vehement arguments in defense of these guys. They've got that bouncer dog look to them, but are also really elegant, taking the best of both dobies and rotties and adding the most beautiful eyes ever. For the record, yes, these guys were bred for dog fighting, but that meant that aggressiveness towards people had be bred out because you had be able to get in between two dogs snapping furiously at each other and not get bitten yourself. The best way to do this was to ensure that the dog would not snap at people in general. The lockjaw thing? Is a myth, and it does not exist. As personal experience, my parents own one (my Luna! My sister's tard ex brought her home) and my dad has put peroxide on her ears after the flies went at her... the dog screamed in pain but did not snap once. Also, my room mate's sister owns one, and I love that dog to death.


And then I got distracted by wondering if Mythbusters has ever done the lockjaw myth and lost my train of thought... but I like goggies!

Still unemployed but:

I GOT TO GO TO A HOOKAH BAR. IT WAS AWESOME. I did not smoke, but the chai was amazing and it smelled like heaven. I love Jon, he took me out to a Chinese buffet too. Also there may be a free cruise in my future, if the job allows it.

A FREE CRUISE GUYS. WUT. IN NOVEMBER. TO JAMAICA AND THE CAIMAN ISLANDS (we will poke caimans! and run away when they snap) AND THE BAHAMAS.

And then tonight I got to go see Zombieland for free, with Jason, and got to see Melanie and Roger and a couple others from BN. It was great, I got to sit next to this older guy who was about as enthusiastic as I am about zombies, and he and I and Max did a zombie wave while Jason's brother Matthew looked at us like we were NUTS. The movie itself is awesome, and the company was awesome, and it was the most fun I have had in a while. I love my internuts and wow and my friends, but sometimes it's nice to have a normal human interaction and see people, and since losing my job I don't get to do that very often. I think it's the reason I get depressed and kinda crazy is because I get lonely, particularly during the middle of the week when the roomies are going to work.

I applied to OSU and it looks somewhat possible, wish me luck! It would mean free school! And that would make me HAPPY. :D

I am now unemployed.


Still having a moment of... DID THAT JUST HAPPEN?

Fandom needs a new term, if TV tropes has not already come up with it. Correct me if they have.

Galatea:

You know the type. Not quite Mary Sue, because a Mary sue is an insertion of the self as one wishes they could be: perfect. Rather a Galatea, named after the mythical statue, is one's perfect significant other. Characters like River Tam (Joss Whedon's perfect fetish woman, I suspect), Edward Cullen (we all know how badly Stephanie Meyer wants to bang him) and pretty much 85% of rp characters played by someone opposite of their gender, unless that person is homosexual. Though there are straight people capable of playing/writing someone opposite gender who is not a Galatea, a LOT of males rped by females and females rped by males totally give me this "I have built my perfect partner, is it not glorious?" vibe.

For some reason, Galateas REALLY bring the rage in me. Not sure why.

Melissa's very, very unpopular opinion:

CATACLYSM WILL BE AWESOME.

BRING ME THE GOBBOS.

KEEP IT REAL MOTHERFUCKERS.

Even the worgen are starting to grow on me.


Also I approve of this new villain. Good follow up to Arthas, who is really Warcraft's best villain. I was worried anything after Arthas would be underwhelming, because... I'm sorry, but Azshara is a piddly like night elf weakling along the lines of Illidan. But.. It's a GIANT FUCKING DRAGON, GUYS. Also, I approve of the orange theme, seeing as orange is my favorite color. Seiz may be come out and play with this guy... he looks big and firey and EXPLODEY. I can hear her cackling already.

People who call themselves "Pro-life" but champion the death penalty.

People who call themselves "Pro-choice" but are against voluntary euthanasia.

Nothing is more hilarious than a sanctimonious atheist.

Finally, someone puts part of my issues with Bono, Jolie and Pitt into extremely eloquent words.

They're showering Africa with fish, but refuse to teach them how to fish because of a subconcious belief that they are incapable of it. Not to mention African aid is trendy, but people very rarely put very much thought into it. I'm donating, they say, I'm giving them money, that's what matters. It's the thought that counts. Except there is no real thought behind it, just... money being thrown. Here, you're poor, have some money, do something with it so I can look and feel like a good person.

Now, I think Bono honestly means well, because he knows what a poor country is like, and he wants to fix the world... he's just going about it the wrong way. Jolie has no idea, and doesn't care, as and she's only doing it to cover up the fact that she is a homewrecking drug addicted whore bitch whose mother slept with Dagon. Image is everything for scum like Jolie.

I'm from somewhat of a third world country myself. Costa Rica is doing a lot better than Malawi, but Colombia, or Peru, or Honduras? Not so much. And yeah, I admit there is personal interest in there too, because it bugs me that no one ever thinks that South and Central America need help too, never mind places like Burma and Vietnam, or the Middle East, or Eastern Europe. But the way to help ANY of this places, be it Malawi or Burma or Colombia, is not to shower the people in money and build all girl's schools with 400 thread eqyptian cotton sheets and an Olympic sized swimming pool, Oprah*, but to teach them to be self sufficient. Yes, give them farm equiptment maybe, or medicines, but teach them about it as well. Maybe give them the starts towards their own pharmaceutical plants, or tractor factory, so maybe some day, they can take care of themselves, they can STOP being a third world country. But I think, to an extent, people are terrified that they won't be needed anymore. Like parents. I don't know. I just hate to see perfectly capable people be treated like incapable idiots, no matter how well intentioned the reasons for the treatment.

*I use her as an example because I don't think it's a race thing, I think it's an ethnocentrism, or maybe a class thing.

They're home!

I'm so glad for them... that must have been so scary, being so far from home and from the people that love them. I was watching it on the news this morning too, and her father was nearly in tears. Good for Clinton, no matter what you think of his political stance or his private actions, North Korea is scary and kinda, well, nuts, and he went there, with the purpose of rescuing these two women.

And I know this is something that's all over television, so I will post more happy stuff later when I find something less well known. :3
