Comment on this post and let me know you want to participate. I will choose seven userpics from your profile and you will explain what they mean and why you are using them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so others can play along. As asked by herlovewasajoke :

This is my default, and a picture of Serrah from FF13. It's a pretty shot, and I loved the character.

This one just cracks me up. A lot.

This is my awesome Xmas icon of doom. Bden in a santa hat is awesome.

Doesn't everyone need an Avatar Facepalm!Icon?

Lightning's look of disgust is great. I think I make this face a lot in real life. I do. Pretty sure I do.

This icon is pretty much for 'I am/have watched DW post squee' kind of stuff. Though Ten being Ten is also good in its own way.

I'm pretty sure Eleven is my favorite Doctor, just for these lines. Cannot wait for the second half.

ONLY THE IMAGE CAN DO THIS JUSTICE.

I suppose I am due a resolution post.

I had to think about these for a while. Hopefully I will keep them this year.

work on my asthma. there are exercises I can do that will help.
work out. running, more yoga. I want to get in shape, tone my arms and legs.
eat better. less fast food, more salads.
get my license. i really need to.
possibly get a better job. so I can pay for a car.
see about going back to school.
stand up for myself. i really need to work on my self-esteem issues, on dealing with people. last night pointed that out well enough.

On the other hand, I did quit smoking last year, as well as not biting my nails. So this can't be as bad.

Le sigh.

I just bought a month of paid time here, to try it out after the crazy LJ drama lately. Thus, I need good recommendations for Dreamwidth comms, or people on my flist that have DW journals, let me know and I will add you*.

lingering on both sites. I like to be consistent.

MY WEEKEND HAS BEEN FULL OF RAGE.

2010-09-06T02:14:45Z

Like, seriously. WHAT IS MY LIFE?

On Friday:

My shirts for work did not arrive.
My brother chases me around the house.
Idiot customers.
Didn't get to eat until 3.
The toilet backed up.
My favorite shoes? Covered in said toilet water.
Got a blood blister.

AND THEN TODAY, THE CAR BREAKS DOWN. ON THE HIGHWAY. The diverter valve wasn't properly attached, so the car was unable to move. At all. Luckily, the boy is good with cars and fixed it, but still.

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, I GOT A ROSE AND A BITE-SIZED WORKING CATAPULT. THAT IS AWESOME.

Movie Rants! BEWARE FOR SPOILERS

2010-07-19T00:57:18Z

So, the boy and I had two date Sundays in a row. Shocking, I know. Both times, we went to the movies. One was very, very good. One was very, VERY bad.

We'll start with the bad. Mainly because we went to this one last week, and I need to get this off my chest.

The boy and I are both HUGE Avatar: The Last Airbender (TLA) fans. So we were so pumped for this movie. I bought us shirts and everything. I did my NAILS in airbender colors. I WAS SO PUMPED.

We went and saw the movie. All I can say to you, Mister M. Night, is THAT I AM FUCKING DISAPPOINT.

EVERYTHING WAS WRONG.

For one, they could not pronounce a thing right. Such as Aang. Short a, kinda like aide. Aang. They kept saying Aang, with the long a, like in par. WRONG. They cut out OMASHU and the Kyoshi Warriors. SUKI.

They cut out the pirates, Katara being awesome, and Haku was not a misogynic bastard. This made me very sad.

On top of that, the graphics were kinda blah. Appa was pretty cool, but aside from that... not too great.

Now for the big guns: THEY MESSED UP THE FIGHTING STYLES. Firebending is based on a type of fighting called Shaolin. They did not use this for the firebenders. No, they used it for AANG. UGH. And the earthbending? Horrible. At least they did the Tai Chi right for the waterbenders.

Two, the Avatar state was not cool. No Roku, and he could control it. That's not right.

And then the cast. Unless you've lived under a rock, you had to have heard about the cast. It's pretty white-washed. The main good guys (Aang, Katara, Sokka, etc) are all white. All of them. The firebenders are all Middle Eastern or Indian. At least the earthbenders were Chinese, or I would have really cried.

On top of it, very few of them could act. The actress for Katara looked and sounded the part, but had no emotion, no spark. Don't get me started on Sokka, that guy was Jasper from Twilight. Sigh. And Aang... his voice, his lack of reflection, he was not the Avatar to me. He didn't FEEL.

The only good actors were the firebenders. I LOVED Patel as Zuko. Loved. He was everything I wanted: conflicted, proud, arrogant, fierce. But surprisingly loyal and nice. The guy who played Iroh was pretty good too, he pulled off the concerned uncle part very well.

We got a glimpse at the girl who would play Azula, and I pray that she will be the most insane, psychopathic girl ever, or I give up on this.

It was that bad.

Tonight, we went and saw Inception instead. IT WAS GOOD. EVERYONE SHOULD GO SEE IT NOW.

There was nothing about that movie I didn't like. The cast was excellent, the graphics and scene choices were beautiful, and the metaphors... it was amazing. Marion Cottliard was just... perfect. Ellen Page was hilarious and kick-ass, and Cillian Murphy is in it. You really have to pay attention, there's so much detail. Christopher Nolan spent ten years on this script, and trained himself on directing by doing the Batman series. It really shows.

Fitness: Day one

2010-06-11T14:07:52Z

Certain people being all ~healthy and awesome have inspired me to get back in shape. My heart, lungs (and legs, if I'm honest) will thank me. I do yoga fairly regularly, so that, mixed with some leg-toning exercises and weights seemed to work pretty well for me. Won't know for a while.

My real pride is that I managed to jog a whole half mile without keeling over. Even if I now have six mosquito bites. GDI, Pittsburgh.

THE WORLD CUP HAS STARTED. GO USA! USA!

I got a new layout today . I think it is very pretty. lingering

Got back on Depo today. Thank god, as the cysts were back. I called off of work, they were that bad. So much nausea and lack of food and general misery.

I haven't seen my boy for a week. Sadmaking, as obviously, I am fond of him. Still, I will see him tomorrow night, and it will be awesome. We will play video games, catch him up on DW, and cuddle.

How is everyone? I haven't really been around lately.

So very, very tired. Work has been taking the mick out of me. At least DW is back on, so I have good things to watch online. I almost hate my job. Almost. I need new music. And cash. And to write a decent entry.
