back to school tomorrow and Battlestar Galactica.

I'm starting school tomorrow (11th grade), which completely makes no sense whatsoever because I'm not supposed to even have school on fridays (instead of sundays), and it sucks. I don't want to go back, I don't wanna learn about stupid WorldWar2 (by the way, I have this rant every year), and I'm gonna throw myself out of a window if I'll see anything that's math-related.

but one thing I am looking forward to is taking two busses every morning on my way to school and two busses on my way back from it. and I am being serious, I love riding the bus (I'm such a weird person).

anyway, when school starts I'll brobably just forget about all the crap I wrote here.

I have just finished watching season 1 of Battlestar Galactica, and I have to say that it's amazing. my favourite character so far is Starbuck, because she is just electrifying and unbelievabley cool. other favourites were Gaius Baltar and president Roselin, and I can't wait to watch season 2.

so I changed my icon. again.

I changed it to a shot of Marla Singer from the movie Fight Club. it's one of my favourites, and I bought it on DVD a few days ago and felt compelled to share my re-kindeled obsession with you guys.

favourite ships

well, I saw this on SMGslayer97's blog a while ago, and thought it was pretty neat, so -

Six ships you like:

1. Xander and Anya (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

2. Brian and Justin Queer As Folk)

3. Buffy and Spike (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

4. Seth and Summer (The O.C.)

5. Robin and Ted (How I Met Your Mother)

6. Cordy and Angel (Angel)

Three ships you used to like, but don't anymore:

7.
Ross and Rachel (Friends)

8. Christina and Burke (Grey's Anatomy)

9. Buffy and Angel (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)


Three ships in your various fandoms that you can't stand:

10. Gunn and Fred (Angel)

11. Veronica and Duncan (Veronica Mars)


12. Willow and Kennedy (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)


Two ships you are curious about but haven't actually started shipping:

13. I guess Angel and Cordy fall under that category

14. Simon and Kaylee from Firefly, I guess.


Why do you dislike #11 so much?

Duncan was just kinda boring and didn't quite have the best chemistry in the world with Veronica, and I thought that Veronica and Logan were much more interesting and dynamic.

Who is someone you know that ships #13?

I know that the awesome MsBlakeLewis is a big fan:)

What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3 (even if the show isn't on the air anymore)?

that Spike would leave L.A. and come see Buffy, and that she would tell him that she really did love him inspite of what he told her, and that he wouldfinally say it back and they would lay together on her bed, "Touched"-like. I'm so cliche'.

Which is your favorite episode for #1? Try to pick just one, if you can.

tough one. my top three are probably The Prom, Into the Woods (the end part) and Triangle. but there's also Touched, Storyteller, The Gift, and The Replacement.

but I'm gonna go with Triangle, especially for the scene at tht beginning with Anya's little monolog about the bomb clock.

How long have you been following couple #6?

pretty much from when Angel bought Cordy some sandwiches in one of the later episodes from season 2,'cause I could just see exactly how happy they made each other and how muchAngel needed Cordy to forgive him.

What's the story with #8? What made you stop liking them/caring?

I don't know. I think that inspite my initial affection to the character of burke, he grew to become rather annoying and the initial strange-funny-romantic dynamic between them (that sort of resembeled Xander and Anya's) kinda died out in season 3.

Which ship do you prefer - #2 or #4?

another tough one. I think #4, just because Summer is one of my favourite tv characters ever.

You have the power to make one ship non existent. Choose from #10 or #12.


#12 - Willow and Kennedy, no doubt about it. I mean, that relationship was just not right, and competely out-of-place. not to mention - Willow and Tara forever!

What interests you about #14?

I just love Kaylee and I would really like to see how Simon could handle himself in this kind of relationship.

When did you stop liking #7?

they just went back-and-forth too much, and after season 4 they became kind of unbareable.

Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the show?

not really. I actually only liked them in season 3, and then when Spike came along, that kinda went away too. but I still have a place for them in my heart.

What's a song that reminds you of #5?

I really don't know.

Which of these ships do you love the most?

Xander and Anya def.. I just love the fact that though they're just thecomic-relieffor most of the time,they can suddenly surprise you with those little touching moments that they have.

Which do you dislike the most?

Willow and Kennedy. good god, they were awful.

If you could have any of these two pairings double date, who would it be?

Seth/Summer and Xander/Anya probably.

Have #2 kissed yet?

oh, they did a lot more than that...

Did #4 have a happy ending?

I don't know. I missed season 4 while it aired andI have'nt boughtthe DVD yet, so don't tell me!

coolest post ever.

no, not really.

well, ended up buying Dexter, and I also went to my local DVD store and bought season 1 of Queer as Folk. God, I missed that show.

so anyway, I really havn't been doing much lately. a lot ofintense sitting around and watching tv.

school is starting in about a week and a half. I'm gonna be in 11th grade.it's pretty cool - I'll get to see all my friends again, some of whom I hav'nt seen all summer. also, I'll be happy to get into art class again. I really havn't worked on anything of that sort for a while now. mostly because of the incredible lack of inspiration and motivation I've had lately, so I think that a class about art should definitely do the trick. also, being in an art-school does'nt hurt either.

I'm probably getting a tattoo soon. I'll let you know.

Help! Quickly!

Okay, I'm going to make an order on Amazon.com, and I already know I'm ordering the "Serenity: Collector's Edition" DVD, and I've got money for one more tv show thats under 30$. So right now it's very much between Bones and Dexter. I'm leaning towards Dexter, but I've also heard Bones was great and I really wanna watch David B play something other that a broody vampire. But I've been wanting to watch Dexter ever since I read the book ("Dark Dreaming Dexter") a couple years ago, not to mention the factthat my beloved Julie Benz is on it. It's a difficult choice my amigos. Difficult choice.

So what do you think? Which one should I buy (or should I just buy both and settle for being poor and pennyless?)

topic.

Well, MessiBuffy was pretty cool. Got to meet a bunch of really awsome people and see some people that I hav'nt seen in a while. I bought all sorts'a stuff, and I now have a button with my favourite quote on it - "Because it's wrong".

a few days ago I had my annual "getting-rid-of-all-the-crap-I-have-in-my-wallet-thus-making-it-cosiderably-lighter" (I'm obviously still working on the title), and I found out I have some really neat stuff in there that I completely forgot that I have.

I watched Kill Bill (again) yesterday, and just remembered how cool that movie was.

I'm thinking of changing my icon, but I'm not sure.

Some nice Buffy-related events lately.

Sorry for the lack of blogging I had here in the past week, I just didn't feel very bloggy. I didn't even update my real blog (the onethat I have been writing for over a year and that my friends read in).

So anyways - the "Midsummer Night's Dream - The Buffy-Rocky Version" production I went to a week ago was pretty sweet. Totally funny, with a lot of jokes about fandom and stuff in addition to the jokes about the actual shows. Our own local Spike-double made another appearance as Xander, dressed up as Spike and then, under the influence of some fairy-magic, went on to make out with Dr. Frank-N-Furter (from The Rocky Horror Picture Show) for about an hour and a half. Funny. Extremely weird, but Funny. And then in the end the whole cast performed most of the songs from both Once More With Feeling and Rocky in a very hilarios fashion.

Oh, and I found some clips on YouTube from the OMWFsing-a-long we had here four years ago, but it's not really a sing-a-long, it's more what we call an "active screening", where the episode is shown on a large screen while a cast perfomes what's happening on a stage in front of it with some very funny interpretations. heres a link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=EiFck_eQ1Zo

Tomorrow night I'm going to what we call a "MessiBuffy", which roughly translated, means: "Buffy-party". which is like a regular party, just with a lot of Buffy mixed into it. Very cool.

Except for the stuff I just wrote, I had a pretty dull week.Watched a lot of Angel, some Firefly and afew Buffy epps. Well, that's kinda it.

uhh... stuff.

In my last post I mentioned I have a pet emergency, and ran off. That meant my sister called me and told me she needs my help to get my dog to the vet.

Turned out it was just an elaborate scheme to get me out of the house and to where my surprise birthday party was.which waspretty good considering the fact that I don't like surprises and I don't like parties.

Finished another round of Buffy, and starting another Angel-thon today.

I now have a big bunch of money (about 300$), and I need to decide which DVDs I wan't to buy. I've been aching to buy the Serenity DVD, and Rent... maybe the first two seasons of Veronica Mars.. Still not sure.

Hmm, tommorow night I'm going to a special production of Midsummer Night's Dream (ugh, that Shakespeare thing, can't remember the exact name) - the Buffy-Rocky version. Which is the basic plot of the play mixed in with stuff from Once More With Feeling and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. -I'll let you know how it went.

it's my birthday.

well well, the day has finally come. I am now 16, so happy birthday to me.

and miraculously, all of my friends remembered to call me and tell me happy birthday, but I wish they'd have done that without waking me up in the process. And somehow it's all my fault, 'cause appearantly I'm not supposed to sleep on my birthday, according to them I am wasting all of those precious minutes in which I can do whatever I want.

So what am I doing today? Well I'm going to a gig tonight and well, that's about it, I think.

I just wish my best friend wasn't in New York at the moment. It would've been great to see him (although good for him - New York).

well, about two weeks ago I started another round of "Buffy" watching, and I am starting season 7 today. and you know, each time I watch that show, my opinions about it changed. I mean, the first time I watched the show, I hated Angel. I thought he was too broody and boring. But now? Now I really like him (well, from season three and onwards, anyway).

okay, sorry I gotta go, but I have a pet emergency.
