Apparently I'm Ben

source
Its been decided. My whole family thinks I am just like Ben from Treasure Planet. Ben the Robot. Ben the crazy, life-deprived robot. Ben the crazy, life-deprived robot who has lost his mind and has way too much energy. Ben the robot who can't stop talking. Ben the robot who Wuv's hugz.

Yeah, I guess I'm Ben.

I guess there are worst things than being to compared to a mentally impaired machine who can't remember if he ever danced with an android named Lupe.

I guess there are worse things then that.

At least I'm not a Hedgehog.

Or a weasel.

Or a squirrel.

I started this post with a point but it kind of got away from me.


Oh Right. Happy Palm Sunday y'all! We only have six more days until Easter!!!

For the first time in my life I actually got Palms ON Palm Sunday, not two or three weeks after. I can not express how happy that made me, how much comfort it gave in this, the last week of Lent. It was all around wonderful to be able to have Mass and read about Our Lord entering Jerusalem with the crowd cheering Him on. It gives the whole day a fresh feeling and it gives you that extra PUSH to keep you going until Easter. You know what I mean?

Soooo.... update time! What have I been doing? So many things! First off, I actually freakin' turned in resume! That's right. I applied for a job. Just a summer job mind you - The one at the Paddle-board shop that I mentioned a few weeks back. So if you could all just pray a bit.... It would be very welcomed. I'd really love to have money again. And I know how that sounds but.... I have none. And I miss the lovely green stuff. there's only so much you can do without it.

I went to see the new Captain America movie on opening night. And wow. Just. WOW! It was so good! I think I like it even more than the second Thor, and that movie was amazing! The Winter Soldier, though, it was beyond amazing. It was... Amazing-blazing! There was a lot more of stake in this one too. And it was really emotional. Because well.... Steve. and... Ya' know. Bucky. *sniff* It might even have been better than the Avengers. I loved it to pieces. A-Triple-Plus

I also finally found a book I like. A book that actually had unique characters and a good storyline and a strong plot. Its called The False Prince. Its the first book in a trilogy, which makes me insanely happy because I loved it so much and I would cry if there wasn't more to read. It reminded me a little of The Thief - It had that kind of feel, that kind of pace. All the characters (Including the main one) were really strong and dynamic with lots of chemistry and actual growth. AND THERE IS A FRIENDSHIP STORY IN IT!! *Jumps up and down* Well, its more of a... hinted friendship right now, but the person who recommended the book says that the friendship is very present in the next books and gets even better! I can not wait!!! I'll have to do a review.

I've been working on my story a bit, but its still so rough it will be a few months before the first draft is finally done. I've got a ton of kinks to work out and a character to make better. Seriously. He needs help. He wasn't suppose to turn out the way he did, and that means I need to do some tweaking. He doesn't make it easy though. He's pulling a Cas. While editing I've also written up a plot for a sister-story. Cause guys, I am really miffed that we sisters have gotten so little recognition. I've thought of maybe three sister stories. Ana and Elsa from Frozen (of course) the friends/sisters in Sorcery and Cecilia - or - The Enchanted Chocolate Pot, and The Penderwicks. In other words, the literature world is lacking horrifically in any kind of sister-like bond in their reading material. I intend to fix that. Or at least try. We sisters deserve recognition dang it! Sisters are cool too!!! I should know, I have nine of them. Maybe when I've actually pulled myself together a bit I'll share some of my thoughts with you. Right now its just an idea. Respect the idea!

As a last Update.... I've really gotten into Fandom crossovers. Especially Superwho. I never thought I'd be a Fandom crossover person. But I guess I am. I even cross-pair a couple people. I never ever thought I'd do that. ever. And mostly I hate cross-shipping. But Belle and Sam??? OMG!! They are way too cute!

 
*SQUEEL!!!!*
I also like Dean and Clara. They would really fit for me. Of course both these things are AU. And very well thought out. which is why I like them. I want them. And wish we could have them. Mostly, though, I just need Superwho. I love Superwho. Superwho is the Crossover I can TOTALLY see. Why can't we get these actors to cross for a special episode?? An episode for the fans?? Why can't they give us that gift? Haven't we earned it??

THIS IS WHY  I NEED SUPERWHO!!!! 

*Breath*

That's all. I'm done now. Now that I've dumped my geekiness upon you, I can go.
 
I'm leaving.
 
I'm going

My Week

source
And I'm back!!!

Hey guys! I know its been a bit since I've posted and I'm am very sorry. Truth is, I've been on vacation - also known as spending the week at my brothers apartment to help him unpack. It was one of those spur-of-the-moment-no-time-to-think things. Luckily I didn't have to go alone. My older sister came with me and did a lot of the hard stuff - writing menus and such. I don't know what I would have done without her.

The first thing we did, of course, was go shopping. Unfortunately we didn't know a very important detail: My brother had no food in his house. like, none. at all. I think he had thyme and oregano and that was it. I have never seen cupboards so sad and empty. What did he live on, air??? I'm Italian, I couldn't live like this!!! So even with the shopping his cupboards were rather bare. But at least we had Sandwich material. that was good. After the house was stocked up, we started unpacking the kitchen. That's when we realized that in the tape covering almost every box there were horrible, ugly and terrifying, dead cockroaches.

You could hear us spontaneously yelp whenever we discovered one where it shouldn't be. (In the bag of silver wear, for instance) That's when you start feeling things on your arm even though there's nothing there. You start smacking away imaginary bugs and shuttering in disgust and horror. Why did it have to be cockroaches?

Aside from that, the rest of our stay was pretty nice. We got to stay up later than usual and we watched a couple Disney movies from the 90's that I'd never seen. Like The Emperor's New Groove and Treasure Planet.
 
 
 
Okay, this was a really, really stupid movie. But it was freakin' hilarious! And its ridiculously quotable. I can't believe I'd never seen it before. I've had such a neglected childhood!
 
Treasure Planet, on the other hand.....
 
I know a few people who didn't much care for this movie, but I liked it way more than I thought it would. It even gave me feels, something I totally wasn't expecting. The animation is pretty rubbish, but the story and characters are really great. I love Silver. And Jim. Jim was funny. As a plus it had a sort-of Star Trek reference
I guess it was fun, except for the food poisoning bit, but I'm glad to be home now. One can have too much fun, you know? Plus, I missed my bed. I really missed my  bed.
 
In case you didn't know,
 
Today is Fat Tuesday, which for Catholics means, the last day before Lent. I am not ready for Lent. I feel like I've just HAD Lent. Maybe because Last Fat Tuesday I was sick too. Oh yeah, did I mention I was sick?  I think I may have said something about food-poisoning.... well anyway, I'm sick. AGAIN! Like seriously, I've been sick for a WHOLE YEAR RUNNING!! I go through these two-day sprees where I start thinking I am feeling better and then bamb! Sick again before I have a chance to get well. I've either had the cold that hangs on for MONTHS, or the cramping flu, or the cough that wont go away, or the odd, queasy feeling that no one likes. Sick, sick, sick. Twelve months now. The whole freakin' circle. This can't be good for me. Oh, and I still have sniffles. So....
 
 
How did I get food-poisoning you ask? I have no idea. I think it was the confectioner sugar I tried to put in my tea, which I then took a teeny-tiny taste of before dumping down the drain. Or maybe something in my meal disagreed with me. I don't even know for certain if it was food poisoning. It might have been one of those three-day bugs. It felt like food poisoning.
 
Being Fat Tuesday, we're trying to feast and be merry. I don't know how merry I will be but I don't feel horrific anymore, so I'll do my best. I wish I could be healthy for the Holidays. Is that so much to ask for?
 
Lol. Poor little me. I'm complaining now. That's not a good thing. But being sick is no fun an I've been sick a long time, so I think I have a small right. On the bright side, Treskie has let me use her computer to start making music videos again. She wanted my videos so badly she actually let me near her laptop. I was flattered. I didn't realize my videos were that good. I also didn't realize how much I missed video-making. It help me to relax, and its kind of therapeutic for me. I missed that. Anyway, I made a pretty awesome tribute to Dean Winchester. I'm a little upset about the quality and how it looks a bit blurred, but I really couldn't help that. Windows Movie Maker wouldn't save it in a higher quality without freezing half-way through. So I had to do it in low quality. For some reason this always happens with videos over three minutes. The Monster video I'm planning to do will probably have the same look. Oh well. At least the videos good.
 
This video has lots of spoilers from every season, so if you are watching the show and don't want to know anything, don't watch. (probably the best if viewed on a larger screen. Enhance the YouTube video to medium size)
 


 
That's all for now guys. I'll try to be back soon - with Lent coming I don't know how often I'll be on but I'll try to still post a few times a week.
 
 
God Bless!
