March Break

March break is SO boring! I can't visit my friend because of transport problems, my other friends are all busy, and one of them hasn't called me yet. Mr. Orion from Victoria hasn't been on MSN for a while. Where the hell is he?

And I've just realized that I am doomed to return a book to the library when I most certainly don't want to walk all the way... Maybe dad will drop me off.

Anyways, March break has only begun, and who knows what fate will drop me? Hopefully nothing as destructive as a hydrogen bomb. Anyways, I am know hooked on this super-cool fanfic. Of course, this is part three. It's amazing, I would have to say, especially since I've been searching for a future fic for a while.

In other news, I had just written another story! This is another one of my vignettes that are simply philosophical. My other one didn't get any reviews either, which either mean that it sucks, or that the readers didn't get it. Strange, considering the fact that they're not as subtle as I'd hoped they were. Oh, well.

New Lost Episode

Wow...

This episode was amazing. The flashbacks with Jin actually brought me to tears. Wow. It's probably because I'm Chinese, and I sort of feel this connection with him. But I'm still young; I haven't seen much yet... But that was such a great episode. I loved it.

So Walt burned the raft. Somehow, I just had the slinking suspicion that the kid wasn't normal.

There was this other thing with Hurley. For one thing, I was sure I saw him on the TV in the Korean Minister of the Environment (or whatever)'s house, when his daughter was watching TV.

After all, Hurley is the only other important character from whom we have seen no flashbacks yet. His past is the only one which is as obscure as the night. The rest all have a bit of their past shown.

I think I missed the preview for next week, so I am completely in the dark as to what is going to happen next. Oh, I can't wait!

A Few Remarks...

Here are somethings that I have always wondered:

How long does it take an elfling to grow into an adult?

When Gandalf was fighting the balrog, they were falling into a deep crevasse which was dug into a mine. How in the world did they end up on the top of Caradhras?

What does "Iorhael" mean?

Do hobbits actually enter adulthood at thirty-three or is that just a social classification?

Hum...

Oh, yeah, I've just realized, though it was really late, that in the pilot episode of Lost, when they picked up the French woman's signal, and they got Shannon to translate her distress call, which was something like: "Ils sont tous morts. Il les avaient tous tués.", and Shannon translated it as something like: "They are all dead. It killed them all." But, of course, since I understand French, I realized that it the "il" could also be "he".

Why haven't I noticed that before????

Fahrenheit 9/11

I've just watched the DVD, and now, George Dubya seems even sillier than he used to.

It's too bad Fahrenheit 9/11 couldn't be nominated for Best Documentary. It would surely have won by a longshot.

It actually plays with the emotions, like with the soldiers were talking about that song. That just provokes a lotta people. I feel sorry for those Iraqis.

Your goals are simple enough. You long, no you lust for POWER! Towards that end you will flatter, seduce, corrupt any who come your way. The aim is simple enough--to bend everyone and everything to your will, in imitation of your own Dark Master. There is no higher goal, no grand plan of what to do with the world once you get it. And you certainly believe everyone else is pretty much like you, hungry for power. Of course, they are fools and don't understand how to get it...

A pop quiz.

Excellent. Of all the unfinished school work out there to really mess up everything, here comes a pop quiz. Ok, fine... Not really a pop quiz. I was warned about it weeks before. But guess what else really preoccupied me? Yep. Geography. Now that I have that done, I won't have to worry about that, but it's still a mess. We still haven't printed it out yet. And we will have to do it tomorrow. I hope I will be able to forget all about this when I'm home and high on drugs (said drugs being DVDs). Hell, when I'm worried about how the hobbit will be able to get away from the big-ass spider, I won't be worrying about my Geography scores. I shouldn't worry about it anyways.

I've got 97% on Geo. MUAHAHAHAHAHA! Still, my average dropped one percent to 84%. Failure seems around the corner. My enriched French program gave me the lowest score on my report card. A 71%. One point lower than my gym score. How is that even possible???? Oh, wait. French will still be a problem for a while, especially when you're surrounded by people who are more experienced with the Quebec language (note Quebec language and not French language).

Speaking of scores, I got 44% percent on the "pop quiz". From what I hear, that ain't bad. Some of the other failures like me got 17% (one next to me got 32%).

I skipped out on my report card to get a peek of Lost. I love it to death. Charlie seems all of a sudden much cooler than I've ever imagined him to be. He is my favourite character on Lost, after all, and seeing him gun down Ethan just gave me shivers. Good ones. Sweetness.

I love you, creators of Lost! I cannot live without it!!! I only wish that it wasn't a weekly TV show.

Broadband

I really hate these limits on the damn broadbands. Last time, I had to pay 50 something bucks cause I went overboard by 3 gigs. Sure, it's a lot, but still. Now, I have a constant fear of going overboard and getting a 60$ internet bill. There are a lot of videos that I wanna download, but the damn old computer is getting old. I now have only 19 gigs left on my hard drive, and only 128 mbs of memory. It's amazing it's still working. If everything goes my way, I wanna download the MTV council of Elrond spoof, and the Sincity trailer. I can't wait to just trash this thing and get a new one....

And Elijah Wood as Kevin. I haven't read the comics yet, so this will be a new experience. I remember someone said that Kevin's a cannibal... O.o

But that's not that important. It's supposed to be visually along the lines of "Pleasantville" and "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow"

That will be cool.

Hungry for Stories

I'm hungry, litterally, but in fear of my parents waking up because of the sounds of me preparing food, I've decided to satisfy my appetite reading from fanfiction.net.

I'm very choosy.

At the begginning, I was able to take in some AU in LoTR-dom, but due to the fact that Tolkien has his restrictions, it was hard to make a decent AU fic without making poor Mr. Tolkien turn in his grave and/or the readers writhe in utter disgust. There were decent ones, but many were not finished.

So I gave up on AU, and turned to Romance as a last resort (I have not found many good humour fic so far, as most of them are Parody, and often tasteless ones at that), and discovered, that due to the shortage on strong and pretty female characters (three were active, one was at the begginning and the end, and the rest were after the War), there were only three options left for those trying to get a gooey romantic fix: do the few canons pairings there are, and try to add character to those wives whom Jackson and Tolkien thrust into the background; make up unforgivable Mary-Sues; or to Slash 'em.

Of course, I abhorred Mary-Sue, because the writers were obviously trying too hard, and the canon wives just didn't appeal, so I went somewhere I've never gone before: Slash.

I've discovered the addictive world of inter-species, RPS (real person slash), and now Bag End family threesomes O.o

I'm so used to reading about homosexuality that I'm pretty sure I'll accept it in real life. Hell, if everyone read about it, the world might become a little less homophobic. But I'm Canadian, and I don't care a goat's bladder what your orientation is, as long as you're not dating me. Well, actually I do. If you date me, I sincerely hope you're straight, cause it will get awkward when the secret comes out.

Anyways, my fetish is Frodo/nearly every pretty canon character, therefore:

NO

Gandalf (too old)
Gimli (too bearded)
Ringwraith (yes, those exist)
Gollum (yuck!)
Elrond (Sorry, got nothing against him. He just isn't the slashable type, somehow.)
Denethor (ick!)
Saruman (see above)
Bilbo (guy's like his frikken father, fer God's sakes!)

YES
Gildor
Glorfindel
Legolas
Aragorn
Boromir
Faramir
Sam
Arwen (no particular reason)
Eowyn (ditto)
Galadriel (once again)
Rose (even better when Sam's there, too. ;)
Orc (yeah, I'm weird)

The rest, I don't fancy nor hate. It all depends.

Now, I'm going ficcie-hunting!

The Period Before The Huge Sommative Exam

Oh boy, oh boy...

It's the first class on Wednesday, and one period away from the much-feared geography exam. I'm in Cisco class, and my friend and I are pondering Orlando Bloom's love life. He seemingly broke up with Kate Bosworth. And I thought that he was frikken single. But truly, does it matter? Absolutely not. Why am I reporting this? I have no idea. I guess I' m frikken bored.

Ok... This is better. Teacher's giving us a new table to do: something that has to do with routers, ips addresses, and networks. I sincerely hope I wasn't one of the 15 who failed this class. It's gonna really drag my average. I sincerely hope that I can still stay in enriched after ths.

Art, an expression

What I've realized is something I've pondered over for a long while. Some people can vent their feelings on paper or canvas, and can empty themselves of dark thoughts without actually destroying equipment or stabbing the canvas like a phsychotic freak. It,s about feeling the anger or pain while pouring your enegy into your art. It doesn't matter, really, if the picture doesn't actually match your mood. If it does, you are a true-bred artist. I'm not at that level yet. It's just that feeling, of makng something, and seeing a new world appear at your fingertips that truly count. It gives you this sense of power, a power that can't be perverted. It's a nice feeling, to feel like you have just created a new universe. It's a job well done to know that you have put effort and emotion into something as simple as a doodle, and to watch it come to life.

The only thing that can ruin my euphoric mood is someone snorting snot. And whaddya know, eh? The guy next to me did just that. It's a frikken disgrace to the Chinese people in our school. But I shouldn't complain, no. If my mood lasts the day, I will be thankful to who ever it is up there for making my day a lot brighter.
