Spazz

I pretty much live at randomfangirl29's house now. I'm going back Thursday I think, to watch er... Bedtime Stories, is it? I have no idea anymore. I don't think I've seen that one more than once, which is... weird. Especially for this season, which we have watched to death. BUT I DIGRESS.

I've been really, really happy lately. I've been working at my mom's again, doing little odds and ends stuff, but working, and thus earning a paycheck, so that's good. I've been going out to Elizabeth's, which entails eating food and good times. I've been entertaining delusions of winning the "Making the Cut" contest, whilst plotting to take Elizabeth with me should I win by pretending to be conjoined twins or something insane like that (full disclosure: she's about a foot shorter than I am). I'm really sad they're judging the contest; my delusions will have to be actual delusions now that they're completely unrealistic. Which is sad. I like my delusions.

But I haven't even watched my video again since I put it up; I'm rather ashamed of it's badness. Also it's 36 seconds long. So there's that. But enough about my self-loathing.

I've also been subtly indoctrinating tahu into watching Supernatural. I made her watch the first five minutes of Ghostfacers, and also I've not shut up about it for five minutes. D: I've become that person I hate that's always like "OMG YOU HAVE TO SEEEEEE THIIIIIIIIIIIIIS", and for that I am eternally shamed.

( Though the whole thing did bring about this exchange: )

So it's not all bad, right? ;)

So... I'm done. :) I finished my jumpback sometime last night, and put the final titlecard in about 2 hours ago. Then I showed it to my parents--the ultimate test of movie-awesomeness. My dad because he can spot cheese and understands all the technical crap, and my mom because she knows what she likes and she doesn't understand any of the technical crap. <3 They've never failed me before, and my mom said I could totally blame it all on her when if I lose, so... \o/

( Watch my epic masterpiece! )

That concludes tonight's narcissism. Thank you, and goodnight. <3

I'm probably the biggest idiot on the face of the earth.

But before we get into that, some self-back-patting! \o/ I got two questions that I was relatively prepared for on my history test, and an A on my paper. Here's hoping that's a sign of things to come.

Now onto my idiocy. I've been working on my "Making the Cut" project over the past two months off and on because I've finally gotten all my stuff together and yeah. I pretty much finished my jumpback yesterday, and am now looking at cranking out something else tomorrow. And because I can make polls, POLL! :D

[Poll #1144743]

Yeah... seriously. Please stop me from my Smallville-related madness. randomfangirl29 and I were discussing the moment it jumped the shark last night and I was suddenly overcome with the urge to make a video to the version of "Holding Out For A Hero" that they use in Shrek 2 because it starts all slow then goes to techno and would be HILARIOUS. But now I'm starting to think that I should make an actually serious video for it because 1) that show has some serious explodey moments, and that makes for easier trailer-making and 2) I really, badly want to win this contest. Seriously. Dude. *cough*

But it has fully sunk in that I probably won't with what I currently have. Just... I saw some of last years entrants that I thought were amazing and was all "Why didn't these spectacular videos win?" and... I don't know. My video is highly visually edited, and the winner last year was all about sound. So I'm thinking about throwing in some effects to increase my video's awesome quotient. Because it is awesome. Just... maybe in a different direction than they're looking for and IS IT OBVIOUS THAT I AM STRESSED ABOUT THIS OR WHAT? O.O

*goes back to endlessly changing the shade of green on her moldy-looking-jumpback*

This week is going to be the absolute best I have ever had. In recent memory, at least. :)

Today: I got really caught up on my sleep and had some Ben & Jerry's. Mmmm, Cherry Garcia. Despite the fact that this means I should probably hit the gym at least five times this week. *headdesk* Also, President's Day = major marathons on just about every channel. Oh, Project Runway, how you are my other other guilty pleasure and yet not guilty at all because I am kind of getting obsessed with clothes lately. And also Tim Gunn is LOVE.

Tomorrow: I'm going to Maegan's for dinner. Or at least, I hope I am. That's the plan, anyway. I saw Maegan this weekend and we reminisced about the good ol' days when we were both in high school (I can't believe it's been 2 years, holy crap), and plotted going to see Indiana Jones in May. She wants to make pants with points on them. I second this idea, though there's a part of me that wants to go an even more steampunk route with a vest and a sort of half-dress thing like Amanda Palmer had on in that Umbrella video. But I digress. Here's hoping for some Potato Chip Chicken. Mmmm. :)

Wednesday: Dinner with my family! And I finish with Acutane. FOREVER. And ever. And get to wear tanktops this summer. And make backless costumes. Oh, the intense joy of it all. Plus, I may have a stupid campfire gather-round with my brother and play some ukulele. I'm definitely getting a little better. It's very exciting. :)

Thursday: Really, do I even need to say it? OMG JUS IN BELLO. And Nightshifter, which is the first episode of Supernatural that I ever really watched, so... it's like coming full-circle in some weird, twisted kind of way. Also, Henricksen is love, and I am weak, so I know that I love the released clips. Oh how this episode will be EPIC. :) Also, at least two pies (Apple and blackberry, this time), and we may throwback to our first pie-making adventure and use powdered sugar instead of flour. I'm highly doubting this, as it's my mother's ingredients we'll be using and she's surely not replaced it all by now. Heh... the ways in which we are like 3-year-olds are uncountable. <3

Friday: Um, it'll be Friday. What's BETTER than that? And one Friday closer to Spring Break. I dunno; I'll have to find something highly exciting to do then.

Saturday: I finish my Making the Cut project. I've officially veered off into crazy-territory wherein I may be using too much Christian imagery, but... the show kind of was for a while there. I don't know; knowing the things I now know about S3, I may slap together a second one during the final week. Even though I'll be taking a midterm that week. My really terrible ideas, let me show you them.

So I've been listening to Mad World all day today. Many things have arisen because of this.

1) Promax announced their second "Making the Cut" competition, and since I'm now in college, I can enter. Yay, me. Supernatural is involved again, so I want to enter, but that's beside the point. I would enter if the only show was Gossip Girls. Honestly, I would. So I downloaded their footage, and started watching it and recognized the Hells Bells promo without Hells Bells playing and I don't know what that means about me. But I'm thinking about using Mad World for my song... Just don't know if that's the most efficient thing to do. Maybe a little too angsty, but they didn't provide any clips from Bad Day at Black Rock, so they're obviously not looking for delightful-crack-tastic-ness.

I can tell from the footage they've provided that I'm supposed to introduce the girls, but I have this beautiful silent, slow motion movie half-fully-formed in my mind, and it's fantastic. I just... I know exactly the sort of eerie quality I want it to have. There aren't too many brother moments in the clips they gave me, but I'm going to frankenstitch some together and oh yes. You will all see. Even if I don't win the competition, you will all see. My pro-ness.

*cough*

2) I realized the Gary Jules version was a cover, so I went looking for the original by Tears for Fears. Everyone in the world needs to watch this video. Now. Seriously. At least watch til about halfway through. Trust me, you'll know when you get there.

Mad World - Tears for Fears

3) I need to see Donnie Darko. I've never watched the whole thing in one sitting. Seriously. I need a good cry or something. Also Frank is love.

My finals got jumbled about, and now I have two on Monday, and one on Wednesday. So I'm officially on Christmas break next Wednesday at 3:00PM. Probably before, as it's my Astronomy Final, and I don't expect it to take up the whole class. Oh yes.

Also, my high school football team made it to State. :) So I'm skipping Final Reviews on Friday to drive with my family to Louisville for the weekend. We will party and partake of the greatest muffins in the world, and win. Also, my brother will play. And I will not freeze to my death.

Hopefully, I will tun out to be a good psychic.

( Tonight in closing, I will deliver my thoughts on why Ruby has to die. (No Spoilers; I don't know anything... heh) )
