Twice in the past 2 days I have been suckered into "short walks".

Yesterday my mom was going for a short walk down the shore. Hot pavement and 2 hours later.. we wandered back to where my sister and cousin were sitting on the beach. Then today in the morning, my parents were like, oh let's take a short walk. Three hours later... *ded* I got a lot of fun pictures today. Including nice shots of all of us climbing on old cannons in an "under video surveillance" area. Later we saw the signs asking people to not climb the exhibits. Oops..

Work on heroes_bigboom is stalled until I can do proper research. BAH. And I think I've planned out reel_merlin the most I can on paper. Contemplating free-writing something... but then I think about how I'll have to type it out later... plus worrying about prying eyes. We'll see.

Tomorrow we are going to the outlets. Which means spending money for pretty things that I don't really need. It'll be an adventure. Or something.

I dunno. Drama continues ever onward with brother and his girlfriend. I don't even know half the time. I just know that I keep getting pulled into the middle of things. Oy.

Anyway, bedtime. At the very least, there was a delicious Chris Pine walking post on ontd_startrek tonight. It can only mean good dreams tonight. :D

( have some ZQ pictures )

My laptop is running like crap. I feel like I need a restart, but that takes time and blah!

This past week has been.. kinda hellish. With car stuff, work stuff, other people's relationships stuff... and now my grandma and cousin arrive tomorrow. Which means I spent my last week of having my own room running around being stressed! D: I know I am stressed because the past 2 mornings I've woken up to my calves cramping up ever so painfully.

Highlight of the week. ZQ beach pictures. *headdesk* don't judge, m'kay? Plus as a result, I had this GREAT dream last night. LET ME TELL YOU IT.
I don't remember the details, but somehow I ended up meeting ZQ and we started chatting and it was awesome. In the dream, I was wearing a hat and he liked it.. which prompted us to start talking. And then we had to part ways and we exchanged contact information to chill later. And then it faded to later and we were just hanging out. And I got a hug and I distinctly remember thinking in the dream that he smelled really good. And basically we were just friends and it was happy times. I feel like there was more to the end of the dream that I've forgotten by now. At any rate, I was so upset when I woke up because it was one of those really vivid dreams where I am half-convinced it is real until I wake up 100%.

Oh my life. Is that a MLIA moment? I dunno.

SO I signed up for reel_merlin as you know. And then the Heroes big bang was mentioned by someone. And I was like, oh! Heroes! And then I was like, shit what is wrong with you?! Because I have read a grand total of one heroes fic and have yet to even watch the thing all at once in proper order. WTF SELF STOP THAT. My compromise is that if I can think of something before the end of tomorrow that might lead to something.. then maybe I will try? (lol I am crazy)

MAKE ME STOP. SRSLY I HAVENT EVEN WRITTEN IN SO LONG I NEED TO DO A LOT OF DRABBLING BEFORE I CAN EVEN PRETEND THIS IS GOING TO WORK.

I watched all of So NoTORIous the other night. Except for the last episode. Which was not in the torrent. And which I can't find online. HALP I AM SO SAD ABOUT THIS.

OK ANYWAY. I have a crapton of new gifs for my 1,000th post, which will be early in the week. Probably Tuesday as I have work in the morning and can then devote my late evening to playing with.

And now... continuation of that Disney song meme that I made up. Songs from animated movies that are NOT Disney. Or y'know... from other movies I loved as a child.

( youtube vids and ramble under here )

I want to buy DVDs. Lots of them.

Namely:
Swan Princess
The Great Mouse Detective
The Sword in the Stone
The Black Cauldron
Beauty and the Beast
Lion King 2

Nightwatch
Daywatch
Robin Hood Season 2

I'm sure there are more, but that's what springs to mind. It's taking a lot right now to not jump onto Amazon (or elsewhere) and making an order. But I must save that money for cosplay things as I want that more for now!

Sometimes while I'm really bored at work, I play this game in my head. I start putting various fictional characters from my various fandoms into the restaurant. Think about how they would react to certain things.. what they would order. God that sounds so deranged. I GET SO BORED AT WORK WHEN ITS SLOW DONT JUDGE ME.

...I personally think it would make for a very amusing AU!fanfic series. I may or may not be seriously considering putting this on paper. At the very least it would make for a good writing exercise to get myself doing anything creative on that end. Don't worry.. if I do, it'll all get posted here for you to mock and laugh at! YAY! The only problem is that I really don't even know who to start with. I mean.. there's Merlin which is where I stayed the daydreaming... but then there's FMA.. and Gurren Lagann... and yeah.

... ANYWAY

Going out to lunch with Cristina tomorrow. It's going to be fun times I know it!

Mental note: I want to make a bucket list. One that includes things like "go to a show of Cirque de Soleil".
