Okay, TECHNICALLY, I'm two hours and twelve minutes late, but I'm still awake so as far as I'm concerned it's still the 22nd.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FRODO AND BILBO!

Yay.

You Are 20% Slacker

You are anything but a slacker. You're truly a go getter.
You never let laziness get in the way of living your life - and you can't stand to see it in others.

Are You a Slacker?

But I'm too much of a slacker to lj-cut today. XD

You Are A Good Friend

You're always willing to listen
Or lend a shoulder to cry on
You're there through thick and thin
Many people consider you their "best friend"!

What Kind of Friend Are You?

Yay me.

And, for enjoyment by fellow Ringers, I present some YouTube finds...

( One QuizGalaxy, MYSPACE USERS take note! )

Work SUCKED, Candise was there and, unlike yesterday, took notice of me and bitched at me incessantly this morning. After I came back from break it wasn't so bad, but GAH. There are several reasons that I hate hate hate hate hate working day shift, but she's about 85% of them. >_<

But whatever, I work nights the rest of the week, and she has small children (who are all probably going to need loads of therapy in the future--I would) so she has to work days. Ha.

Lord of the Rings Limited Editions came out today, and I bought them for two reasons--1) NEW bonus features, including a BLOOPER REEL OMG FINALLY! and 2) THEY EE'S ARE NOW EACH ON ONE DISC! As Nico said when I was telling him about it, "Your love of Lord of the Rings knows no bounds." XD I told him that really it was about 30% love of LotR and 70% Elijah Wood's eyes. ^_^

So I'm going to try and watch them soon (with my work schedule, maybe not until Sunday) and I'll let you know how the bonus material stacks up.

And Lost season two comes out a week from today! YAY!

I swear, I live for my dorky joy moments. ^_^ Freaking the mundanes, indeed.

And tomorrow after work I'm going to Nico's place to do glamor shots. ^_^ Should be fun, having a gay man fuss with my hair and makeup and such for pictures.

Reason I adore Nico #237: I called him today around 5, from Wal*Mart, to ask what kind of film I needed to buy, and he sounded a bit groggy, so I asked him if I'd gotten him out of bed (at FIVE IN THE AFTERNOON) and he was all, "Um, actually, yeah..." XD

Destiny In Doubt chapter six is up. For the interested. *coughhobbitycough*

I wish to goodness I had my LotR binder with me today, because I have plenty of time that I could be using to fill up my OC_Art table. *sigh*

I'm thinking of logging off and spending an hour in the student center (which will be pretty much empty at this time of year) working on my latest pic, which I can't describe, because it's a major DID spoiler. *sigh* (Characters: Sarah and Frodo. For those who read DID, that should be 'nuff said.)

OMG. FOS is now taking RPF. Shelly, THAT would be a good place to post Love Online! And now I need to work on She Will Be Loved a bit more! YAY! ('Scuse me whilst I fangirl.)

Anyway. I'll probably start reading Half Blood Prince tonight, assuming I actually go straight home after work. I don't know, I should go home and get some sleep so I'm all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for the job search tomorrow. Wish me luck...

Explains a lot, really. (Thanks, Nico, for finding that one.)

And now I'm rambling. A couple of pics (not RL pics, just random stuff for random people)...
For Nico:

I found that on a comment page, long ago, and have kept forgetting to post it for ya. Go me.

For Hobbity (once she returns from vacay, wherever she is):

As a casualty of said war, I thought you'd appreciate it.

The real reason I enjoy my "Employee of the Month" t-shirt so much:

I have absolutely no idea who made it or why, but it still cracks me up to no end.

I thought I had another one, but looking at it again, I think it would be better served by being posted over on DLBE. So TTYL, people!

PJ's rereleasing all three movies, with the option to watch theatrical or extended version, with new documentaries.

I'm curious and thinking I'll probably get it, if only because each film will be on one disc--I was right, when you don't have four commentaries on there, the movie actually fits on one disc! Any fan that's wandered around with the phrases "You shall be the Fellowship, of the RING" or "Grond! Grond! Grond!" stuck in their head for days on end will know why that makes it worth it. XD

Also, while it has new bonus material, I doubt it contains any of the OLD bonus material--the extended editions didn't have ANY of the same bonus material as the theatricals; hence why I own them both. (*crosses fingers* blooperreel! Heed the fans, PJ!)

I just read about this an hour ago and already I am coming up with excuses to own all three.

The downside is that there's no price listed anywhere that I can see, and Amazon hasn't caught wind of it yet. *sigh*

Current Music: All You Need Is Love--The Beatles

A while back I posted some pics of myself, and in at least one you could see my Elven Brooch. A few days later, said brooch came up in a conversation with Nico and I told him to go look at the pics so he could see it. While we're on the phone he pulls them up, and after a moment, he's all, "I'm going to describe that and I want to see if you can figure it out."

"Okay..."

"That looks very lottery."

My first guess was that he was trying to tell me it looked blingy, like something someone would only be able to own if they won the lottery. As flattering as that would have been, such was not the case...after a bit more prodding, I got what he really meant.

LotR-ry.

I fully propose that this become a legitimate adjective recognized by the greater LotR fandom!

(Yeah, 'cause "the greater LotR fandom" all read THIS journal, lol...)

Is there a web service that allows one to upload videos, or links to videos, and manage a playlist of sorts?

There's a lot of funny flash vids out there, a lot LotR-related, and I'm looking for a better way to keep track of my favorites than copy/pasting the links into a text file. Since I can't download them or burn them to CD, I need a way to do it entirely web-based that doesn't require me to download anything.

I'm also considering a new layout, or toying with this one, in such a way that I have a background image. (Can anyone say...Frodo?) I need to play and see if this one is even capable of having an image, and if not, which ones that I like do.

ETA: I can put an image, and I know the one I want. Now to figure whether it would work best tiled tiny or centered huge, whether I should redo my colors to match better, whether I should make my entry blocks transparent to show more of it, or whether I should simply go the new-layout-with-header-image route or what...

Current Music: They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard!--Albino Black Sheep

As I think I mentioned in my LJ already (I know I told most of you), I regained the files that had been locked up on my dead laptop, and now have stories to work on that I haven't been able to work on for a long, long time.

The foremost of these (and, in fact, the only one I've actually started working on again) is In Another World.

This is something that I think predates D2D (as far as when work began on it, anyway), and I know (from my author notes) predates Lalaith (which is up at FFN, if not yet FOS). It is an LotR fic, and the plot is in some ways similar to D2D, but it is NOT a clone story. The style is totally different. In Another World is something that D2D could have been, I think, but something I would never have wanted D2D to be.

It's darker, to put it simply, and while D2D has its dark and angsty moments, there's always comic relief just around the corner. I want to say that In Another World is more realistic. Shelly has commented on the difference between Shelly/Legolas and Sarah/Frodo--the latter don't ever fight, the only moments that aren't sunshine and roses for them is when they're dealing with being separated, and while I like to think that it happens, the truth is that it's a rarity.

In Another World is the story of Shyda, a modern girl who meets Frodo (like my character in D2D), and has a very different relationship with him than the character based on me does. They have issues, things aren't sunshine and roses for them.

Why all this rant? I think I'm afraid that people who have read D2D will read In Another World and be disappointed, or that people who discover me via In Another World will then read D2D and be disappointed. It could be "OMG, In Another World was so amazing and real and then D2D was this stupid bit of fluff!" or "D2D was so great and then I read In Another World and it was all depressing! WTF?"

What I really hope is that my readers are intelligent enough to appreciate both styles the way I do, and that I'll get positive feedback. I worry that Hobbity and Shelly will be the only ones to appreciate In Another World as the masterwork that I view it as.

That being said, what I really wanted to do was post a bit of a teaser for In Another World. I want to see if I can draw some D2D fans out of the woodwork, maybe whet some appetites...it's going to be a while before anything goes up officially at FOS, but I can tell you that once my three big projects (the veteran's tea, my veteran interview, and the second Honors Sociology paper) for school are done, I'm really going to throw myself into this (at least between D2D chapters, lol). I've already written 22.5 out of 47 planned scenes (and I mean really written, they're postable as-is), so if I really apply myself, I could conceivably have it done long before the end of this summer.

So, anyway...I'd really like to hear from any and all LotR fans on this one--whether you're following D2D or not--even if you're new to fanfiction. If you are following D2D and this journal but have never commented here, this is your chance. (Really. I welcome my fan-lurkers--I know there's at least two of you! ^_^)

This is about three weeks overdue, lol, but I'm going to ramble about Ringers: The Lord of the Fans for a few moments, since GamgeeFest is dying to hear about it, I'm sure. ^_^**

If you hate documentaries, don't bother, but if you're like me and watched EVERY special feature on the DVDs, this is definitely at least worth a rent. It's organized by decade and puts Tolkien's popularity into an easy-to-follow timeframe. The creative team behind this is the same team behind TORn (if you don't know what TORn is, then you're really not a dedicated Ringer), so even though they poke a little fun at Ringers and have no qualms about showing the extremes some fans go to (ie--to the extent of embarassing themselves), there's nothing disrespectful, because these people have done THE SAME STUFF THEMSELVES. ^_^*

Ultimately, the thread tying all the pieces together is how LotR has influenced OTHER stuff, so there are a lot of pop culture references. This is not an in-depth story of Tolkien's life, or a breakdown of when he wrote each chapter, or an Elvish lesson by any means--the entire story of Tolkien's works being published is narrated in about four minutes. Most of the big interviews are not of major literary critics, but rock and movie stars. (Though Brian Sibley, the author of all the books ABOUT the movies, is on there, and that was cool.)

When you watch it, make sure and watch the commentary, too--even though these people are probably not people you're overly familiar with, it sounds like a random group of Ringers discussing the film--which, essentially, it is. Aside from the commentary, all the extras take less than 45 minutes to watch (I'm tempted to say less than 30 but it's probably just over that) so don't miss any of those, either--there are uncut interviews that had to be trimmed from the movie and two featurettes that are all entertaining.

Highlights--

Narrated by our own dear Dom Monaghan.
Songs from the cheesy 70's cartoons remixed by modern rock bands, the best by far being "Where There's a Whip There's a Way" by World Without Sundays. (I could get all fangirly about them, but that's another whole entry.)
Elijah speaks quite a bit on LotR and how it influenced rock music, since that IS his area of expertise. ^_^
I need to watch it again to be sure who said this, but someone referred to extreme displays of fandom as "freaking the mundanes." I need a little more of that in my life! XD
GamgeeFest, I know where you should go on vacation--Hobbiton, USA. There's actually a theme park. XD
There's a bit about fansites dedicated to actors and they SHOWED A&F on the screen! OMG! I actually stood up and yelled, "IT'S A&F! LOOK, IT'S A&F!" (Nevermind that I was in the room by myself.)
This segues into fanfiction, and there's even a mention of slash. XD As the one guy said during the commentary, "This is why it got rated PG-13 for 'some sex and drug references.' I tried to get the MPAA guy to add 'rock and roll' to that list, but it didn't happen."
Excerpts from Cassie Claire's "The Very Secret Diaries" are reenacted, using voice-overs of shots of the action figures. I just think it's hilarious that Cassie Claire is almost as well-known within the fandom as LotR itself.
There's a mariachi sing-along parodying the mass marketing of collectibles that was started by the movies. I repeat: MARIACHI SING-ALONG.
The last thing PJ says in the movie is then thing that has made me happiest to hear: "The masterpiece is not the films, it's the books." So true.

Watch the credits all the way to the end, some extra interviews that just couldn't be squeezed into the movie are added here. The most entertaining one by far is the two women explaining why Hobbits make better lovers than Elves. I agreed with everything they said. ^_^*

My favorite bit of the whole movie ('scuse me whilst I *fangirl* a bit): There's footage from some convention, and you see Elijah sitting there signing autographs, then it pans to this girl talking to him, and it runs something like: "I first saw you in Flipper, and I was all OMG that guy is SOOOO cute, so I started seeing all your movies, and YOU made me a LotR fan, and I still tihnk you're really hot!..." About halfway through this rant (which was quite embarassing, IMHO, given the lack of intellectualism) it pans back to Elijah, whose eyes are about twice as big as usual, then back to the girl, who finishes her story. Then back to Elijah, who quite gracefully says, "Thank you. I appreciate it," with all the aplomb in the world. The girl annoyed me (ditziness does that), but it made me happy because Elijah's nice even to the Nazgurls. It means if I ever meet him and say something intelligent, which I plan to do if I DO ever meet him, he'll probably say something gracious back. ^_^

PS--if you need help finding the Easter Egg, just let me know! ^_^ It's a fairly easy one.

PS2--Where do I buy the soundtrack??? I need WWS singing "Where There's a Whip There's a Way." NEED.

Two stray thoughts that crossed my mind. (Actually, the former was inspired by Dad.)

Hi all! I'm on at Shelly's, and yes, it's two o'clock in the morning. Whee! Me, Shell, Cody (yes, the D2D basis), Shell's dad, and Kris (who I've never mentioned before here but he's an LIT) just got done playing LotR Monopoly. I was totally whomped, even though Shelly did me a massive favor I dropped out first. Oh well, gave me more time to sit and stare at one-inch-high pewter Frodo. ^_^ (Sorry, being around Shelly makes me about four times more fangirly than usual. Or any other fangirl-tolerant audience, for that matter.)

Happy New Year! I'll be back online fulltime starting on the third, when the school library opens.

Our tradition is that whoever you're with on midnight at New Year's Eve is the people you're spending the year with. This disturbs me somewhat, as I'm working on the first. GACK. (Oh, wait, nevermind, I get off at five. But STILL!)

The auction was interesting last night--the power went out about an hour and a half in, so we all ended up going home. (It was only out a few seconds, but our tower took a direct lightning hit and we had no more internet with which to WORK the auction, so we decided to call it a night and come back tonight.)

Free pizza tonight! WOOT!

The other night I was working on something for school (I don't even remember what) and I was typing "samples" and typo'd it as "smaples." This amused me. If I hated Canadians I would start using that as an insult in a punnish sort of reference to their flag--"those smaples!" would mean, more or less, "those d**n Canadians!" But of course, the snag is that I <3 Canadians. *huggles Kat and Hobbity*

Witness my mad MS Paint skillz! I made Shelly an avatar! But since she, like, never reads this anymore, and since her heart races for a different Josh these days (her RL boyfriend) I thought I'd post this in case some other Josh Holloway fan stumbles through.

Someone who is better at making avvys and can animate them should make one that starts out: "Fly Oceanic!" then shows the Oceanic logo, then says, "Earn free HEAD trips!" then shows a bunch of people running from various things, then ends with the Lost logo. Lol.

I made a PowerPoint for Fine Arts: Visual! Go me! Sadly, you know where I learned to USE MS PowerPoint? ...from watching Shelly edit her "Top 15 Guys" list. XD But hey, it paid off!

Poor, poor Van Gogh. (I researched him as part of this PowerPoint.) He was a genius (I have Starry Night as my email background ^_^) and yet he had such a sad life, I really just want to hug him and tell him it'll be okay. (Yeah, okay, I know he's dead. But you know what I mean.) I want to adopt him. (I'm seriously thinking of starting a list of people I have adopted--Locke, Van Gogh...)

I still hate that class. Mrs. Bailey: "Half of life is following directions, have you noticed that?" AARRRRRRRGH. So narrow-minded! So disorganized! *screams*

Okay. Okay. Accentuate the positive. Random quotes time!

Life Chain is an anti-abortion protest.

The library's down on the third floor, but the second floor has this lobby (Gaston Lobby...if any of you are wondering what the names are, they're all the names of the $$$ donors, and if you lived here you'd sniggle--First National is a bank, Gaston's is a restaurant, that kind of thing) with a pretty floor.

And to the RIGHT of the bed...my LOTR WALL!
Just to tease Hobbity, here's a closeup from the above pic. It's showing chapter 137 of D2D. XD See anything interesting?
And this, of course, is the focal point of the LotR wall. Quite helpful, when I'm having writer's block on D2D. *mad sniggling*

Seven things I plan to do before I die:
1. Own my own loft apartment in a big city.
2. Become a famous author.
3. Meet Elijah Wood in some sort of scenario where I can talk to him for a few minutes, not just stand in line for hours and just get an autograph and "Thanks for your support!"
4. Get married.
5. Travel Europe (particularly England, Ireland, and Scotland).
6. Put purple streaks in my hair.
7. Wear a sleeveless shirt out in public. (This is a bigger deal than it sounds like, really.)

Seven Celebrity Crushes:
1. ELIJAH WOOD. Durr. But since we all know I could easily fill up fifteen slots with JUST LotR boys, let me name a few others that may not be so obvious...
2. Kyle Chandler (Early Edition).
3. Ty Pennington (once of Trading Spaces, now of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition)
4. Breckin Meyer. Mmm. (Been in several of my favorite movies--Rat Race, minor role in Josie and the Pussycats, Garfield...)
5. Ian Somerhalder. (Okay, that was kind of a given, too...)
6. Dominic...Purcell! (As well as Monaghan. Of the canceled-after-one-season show John Doe, has a new series now called Prison Break, which I haven't seen. Really sad, THAT was great entertainment, with Lost-like plot twists.)
7. Yeah, that's pretty much it for non-LotR people, so let me just put Dominic Monaghan here and give shout-outs to Billy, Orli, Daisy, Viggo, and Beany Baby. Lol.

Seven often repeated words/phrases:
1. OMG!
2. SQUEE!
3. Lijah
4. XD
5. <3
6. Yeah, just a little bit...
7. What?

Seven physical traits I look for in the opposite sex:
1. Gorgeous, suck-me-in eyes. (Lijah!)
2. Pretty hair (several different things qualify, I'm not too picky about color though I'm partial to red.)
3. Skinnyish physique, no more than slightly built/buff. (I actually prefer LotR/PotC Orli to Kingdom of Heaven Orli.)
4. Facial hair that suits the face, in some cases that's none and in some cases it's a goatee. Mustaches are for older guys, IMHO.
5. Soft lips. Not that I have any experience in their useage.
6. In general, I prefer dark/chocolate eyes, but if a guy has dark brown or black hair and blue eyes, it just...OMG. (Why do you think I <3 Frodo and Lijah's EII character so much???)
7. I have a thing for hands...I admit it. (Hence a lot of the attraction to Dom, methinks. What with his writing on them and wearing nail polish and his hands just being sexy in general...)

THERE ARE HOBBITS IN MY PSYCH BOOK!

So I'm sitting in psych (wow, that means this was a week ago already--gah) glancing over my book, because I never read it like I should. And we're talking about decision-making and problem-solving, and there are a few little logic puzzles to illustrate. And one of them is:

XD Puh-LEEZE. The orcs will eat the Hobbits? What the heck? (But then...I guess the orcs did threaten to eat Pip's legs...)

Lol. And just exactly which Hobbit is that supposed to be?
(Again, click for fullsize.)

I mean, the satchel he's carrying would indicate Sam, and it does look like one of Sam's outfits, but he's entirely too square-jawed and his hair is too light. (And Sam's got the lightest hair of the Fellowship Hobbits.)

Clearly, someone under-researched. But it cracked me up muchly. Luckily Dr. Hatcher wasn't watching me at the moment. ^_^

Coming home on Wednesday, I thought to myself that I should call Mom to let her know I was on my way home. But then I realized that LOST was on (they were taping it for me) and that my parents were probably watching it and wouldn't want to be interrupted.
