Spidey...

Yesterday, I got bitten by a spider. So far, I still have not gotten any Spidey-senses. Heck, I probably don't even have the norm for human insticts. I've got 50% on my badminton test. God.

"Marge", our class genius, ended up crying over her obviously not satisfactory result. God, I actually feel happy that I'm just better-than-average, and not a genius.

I have also watched Lost last night. Dude. Bloody. Creepy Boone. Corpses. Need I say more? Oh, yeah, I had a thought when I saw the statues filled to the brim with heroin: "What would Charlie say had he seen this?"

Anyways, I've run out of things to say.

Addios!

Slice of my Life

This is a real conversation between one of my friends:

(Me)VJesus is Coming - Look Busy!V says:
hi.. can we chat???

(My friend) Oh Mahĩya, Oh Mahĩya. Fĕĕ£ thĕ fĩ®ĕ. My dĕŝĩ®ĕ. Takĕ mĕ hĩghĕ®, ŝonĩyĕ. You® ma p£ĕaŝu®ĕ. Only trĕaŝu®ĕ. You 4ĕvĕ®, ŝonĩyĕ. says:

Sergios...

Why am I blogging about one of my friends? Cause it would give me a few laughs later.

Anyways, Sergios has always been... well, a little strange. There's the incident where we were fooling around in geography class, and the teacher gave detention to someone who, apparently, has done nothing. In retaliation, Los Sergios refused to to work, and ripped up his geography book page by page. This earned him the position of "Class Nutcase", detention, and a few bucks to buy a new geography book.

It's only made worse by his weird English accent when he speaks French (I have one too, but I generally don't speak until spoken to), and it sometimes makes my ears bleed. Then, there's his under-grown mohawk, and his out-spoken personality. Not that it's bad, it just... I dunno, sort of makes me uncomfortable sometimes. But I don't mind that much. As long as he don't attract any unwanted attention to me, I'm happy as a clam laughing at one of his antics.

I mean, he does horny dog antics, and annoying commentary, but this must be the worst: he now no longer has any visible eyebrows. He sorta looks like Grima Wormtongue. Without the greasy hair.

His mother shaved it off while he was sleeping in retaliation for hitting her too hard during one of their play-fights. Oh, boy. I don't envy his girlfriend. He has a heavy hand. And is obsessed with guns and the military. Heck, he's a psychotic Ukranian who knows karate. I really should stop hanging around with him. I mean, he actually hit me on the jaw by accident! I didn't hurt, but it most definately made me paranoid. Now I'm paranoid around two of my friends. Great. And that face. It's probably gonna give some poor little girl nightmares.

Eek.

Stupid Computer....

Damn, what a boring Easter vacation I've had... If nothing fun happens tomorrow, I'll be real disappointed. Even the computer ruins it for me. My MSN won't work properly, my computer's even slower than beofre, and my internet service's website is really grating my nerves. And I got a frikken 5 on my English oral. WTF?

But the good thing is, I've got two more bags of potato chips left. It's been quite a while since I haven't gorged myself on my pretty chippies. I've also got a new pair of faded red jeans. They're quite nice, rather long, but nice. And then when I got home, I realized that I have nothing that matches it. Damn. But the other ensemble did quite wonderfully. If I can't wear my jeans, the fuschia ensemble will do the trick. Got it for a bargain for 30$, too. So what else, eh?

Not much, I'll have to say. I've got my Heroes of Might and Magic CD back, but it's been such a long time I haven't played that I kinda forgot I owned a copy. What else? I've got a geography test that I utterly failed in the formative (thankfully it didn't count), and I still have not truly put my mind into studying it properly. I can think of only chips, Sin City, and umm... my cat? Yeah, my cat. Boy, talk about ruining a vacation. Nobody in my household has had a proper night of sleep cause she simply won't shut up... AARRGGH!

Re-post of Ode to Mary-Sue

Ok, who hasn't heard of Mary Sue, eh? Ok, maybe not everyone, but almost anyone who's into fanfiction would have heard of Mary... She has a male counterpart, too, called Gary Stu, but he's almost non-existant in LoTR fanfiction world. In fact, I'm so sick of her that I have just recently composed a poem in honour of those badly-made Marys. If done properly, I will actually like them, so this poem is more dedicated to those hormone-drived, grammatically incorrect, never-written-a-story-in-her-life Mrs. Orlando Bloom Mary Sue writers out there. Enjoy, and don't take this the wrong way. It's not meant to insult, but to parodize.

Mary Sue is a perfect girl,
Her hair is pretty, straight or curled.
Her eyes are blue, hazel, violet or green:
strangest combination that I've ever seen!

Her skin is pale, smooth and unblemished-
Wait, don't leave yet, I'm not quite finished!
Her body is slim, perfect as can be,
heck, it's SO perfect, it's even tempting me!

Her name is Raven, Rachel or Raya,
and in Middle-Earth, she is quite a playa!

She's half hobbit, wizard or elf.
Her mother wouldn't have done that, had she respected herself...
She's the sister or Legolas, Frodo or Aragorn,
and she's well-known for making inter-species porn.

She asked to join the prestigious Fellowship,
'cause in her mind, she thought: "It's just a hunting trip!"
She could resist fatigue, pain, and even the Ring:
for her, it was just a tacky golden thing.

She is skilled in magic, arrows or sword;
perfect for entertraining when the boys got bored...
Her powers were to protect her from random orcs:
according to the Ringbearer, just another annoying quirk.

Strangely enough, she said words like "Cool and "OK",
and strangely enough, when she spoke, all had to obey.
From orcses to goblins, and Ringwraithses too,
she just seemed way, WAY too good to be true.

When she was there, the "trip" was never dull,
until one day, she suddenly fell
In love, as her authours often wanted to say,
but I'll be there to make them regret that day.

If I could change the story, if I had the power,
I'd make her fall from a stinkin' huge tower.
And as she fell, her beautiful voice would cry:
"Help me, Frodo/Legolas/Aragorn, save me before I die!"

But alas, no one came to break her fall;
her cries for help ignored by all.
And finally she landed and broke her neck,
and I laughed and darned her straight to heck!

OK, insulting to the extreme, but I have to right to freedom of expression, after all. This ain't China anymore, it's Canada, and after all, it's ONLY to parodize.

So Many Similarities!

I've just re-watched Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and I've decided to make a list of all the elements that are similar between Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings:

• Protagonists are orphans: Harry and Frodo
• As a result, they live with their uncles: Uncle Vernon (OK, and also Aunt Petunia and Dudley), and Bilbo
• Protagonists were scarred by the Enemy: Harry has his lightening-shaped scar on his forehead, and Frodo has the wound from the Morgul-blade that "will never truly heal"
• Said scars hurt whenever the Enemy is close
• There are Dark Lords who have been destroyed, but their souls lived on, and are slowly regaining their power: Voldemort, and Sauron
• At the beginning of their revivals, said Dark Lords couldn't take physical forms: Voldemort had to live in other people's bodies, and Sauron could only manage to embody himself in the form of a huge red eye
• There are evil, black, face-less wraiths that work for the Dark Lord: Dementors and Ringwraiths
• There was a prophesy about the protagonist that predicted him and something that had to do with the darkness: Harry's prophesy was that he would be the end of the Dark Lord, and Frodo's was about the darkness that was reawakening
• Protagonist has a wise wizard friend: Dumbledore (OK, Harry has other wise wizard friends, too, but Dumbledore's the only one who has a white beard), and Gandalf
• Protagonists look through a "basin of water", and see a different time: Harry looks into the water (which are actually snippets of Dumbledore's memories), and sees the past (in the form of Dumbledore's memories), and Frodo sees the future through Lady Galadriel's Mirror
• The true powers of the wise wizard friend whose powers are never truly revealed (though that might change with the new book): Dumbledore's the only one whom Voldemort fears, after all, and Gandalf probably had the power to ressurect people if he wanted to, but was forbidden to do so by the Valar (at least, if I remember correctly)
• The wise wizard friend "died", and was reborn into a different body: The actor who played Dumbledore in the first two movies (RIP Richard Harris) died, so they got Micheal Gambon to portray Albus Dumbledore in the proceeding movies, and Gandalf the Grey "died" after his fight with the balrog, and then was reborn as Gandalf the White
• The protagonist has a Man Friday: Ron (OK, he's nowhere as devout as Sam, but he's been Harry's friend from the start, and he is more of the follower, while Harry is the leader), and Sam (there is literally the same follower-leader relationship, after all, Sam is Frodo's gardener, and in a way manservant, but in the end, he becomes his own boss)
• The protagonist and his Man Friday gets attacked by a giant spider: Aragog (OK, Harry and Ron get attacked by Aragog's children and not Aragog himself, but damn, they are still giant spiders!), and Shelob (if you'll like, you can compare the giant spiders of Mirkwood to Aragog's children, but I'm not quite sure whether those spiders are Ungoliant's children or Shelob's. I simply wonder how they learned speech.)
• The protagonists meet with a suspicious, and scruffy man who later turns out to be one of their greatest allies: Sirius Black, who becomes a beacon of hope for Harry as something close to a relative he actually likes, dies in book five, but it just didn't seem final. A ressurection, perhaps? And Strider, who later turns out to be King Aragorn, helped divert Sauron's attention from the Ring-bearer, and distracted him long enough to give Frodo the chance to destroy the Ring
• The protagonist and his friends get attacked by a homocidal willow tree: the Womping Willow, and Old Man Willow (well, Old Man Willow didn't actually attack Frodo (only Merry and Pippin), but he (or it) certainly had the intention to)
• There are ugly, pitiful creatures who help the protagonist: Dobby (I used to call him Doddy), and Sméagol/Gollum (ok, so he betrays Frodo, and leads him into a trap, but he did lead them out of Emyn Muil, and to Mordor, and in the end, "helped" Frodo destroy the Ring

These aren't as strong as the above:

• The protagonist uses a sword that he inherited from his ancestor: Godric Gryffindor's sword (OK, so Godric wasn't really Harry's ancestor, but as Dumbledore said: "Only a true Gryffindor could have pulled that [the sword] out of the hat [the Sorting Hat], Harry", and Frodo inherited sting from his cousin Bilbo
• The Dark Lord's names are similar: "Voldemort" and "Lord of Mordor"
• The protagonists have a curly-haired friend: Hermione, and Sam, Merry and Pippin
• The story also had a wise, and quite old woman: Professor McGonagall, and Lady Galadriel
• The protagonist has a big, hairy, and slightly coarse friend: Hagrid, and Gimli (even though they didn't have much of a platonic chemistry, but we did see the interaction between Frodo, Sam and Gimli before they were ambushed by Haldir and his Merry Elves, and Gimli is a slight bit bigger than the Hobbits)
• There are two extremely confident blondes in the story: Draco and his father, Lucius, though they're more arrogant than confident, and Legolas (who is also quite arrogant when addressing Gimli at the beginning), and Haldir (also quite arrogant at the beginning)
• Aragog/Aragorn...
• Longbottom leaf/Neville Longbottom

That's all I have for today. Boy, my fingers are tired, especially after typing this TWO times (the site annoyingly signed me off the first time for inactivity).

Long-Awaited Movies

I've just decided to go searching. I've found a few movies coming ou this year that really interest me:

Star Wars IV (obviously)
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (duh)
Sin City (just saw the trailer... amazing. Then I saw that it would be R-rated, and probably 16+ in Canada. Shit)
War of the Worlds
Kingdom of Heaven (ok, I admit it. I wanna see more of Orlando Bloom in armour)
Chronicles of Narnia (my first novels!)
His Dark Materials (oh, God, can't wait!)
Da Vinci Code (so what if it's not 2005?)

And I have now realized that none of my movies are anything close to non-fantastical (except maybe Sin City, but it'll be real brutal. Maybe I should wait until I'm sure it won't scar me for life or something. I'm a bit paranoid).

What type of Harry Potter fan are you?

TRUE HARRY POTTER FAN
You are a true Potter fan. You have read the books
several times and just can't get enough. You
probably have memorized nearly all the spells,
and have tried to recreate Quidditch. You are
very devoted, and Mrs. Rowling would be glad to
have you a part of her fandom.

Post three of Rants on Mary Sue

I have complained about Mary, and I sure as hell have bashes her, so now, I'm gonna write an objective article. Wait... did I just say "objective"? Impossible! This thing is a rant machine, fer Gosh's sakes!

En tout cas... I am here to make my own analysis of Mary. It's nowhere near true, and it's only there to entertain myself.

Why (LoTR) Mary Sue?

Why? It's quite simple! Like I said, hormonal-ego-centric-Orlando-Bloom-obsessed-blah-blahs of the usual kind... But this is a little more informative.

Why?

1. To shag a Rugged Ranger, Ethereal Elf, or Handsome Hobbit.
2. Who doesn't want to be perfect? And guess which piece of classic, popularized piece of literature has perfect beings as main quasi-main characters? Lord of the Rings and their elves!
3. What person doesn't want to be a hero, hmm?
4. Due to a lack of female love interests, there are no female competition for several "hot" male characters, and a lot of space to fill.
5. Due to the cultural diversity, and fantastical universe of M-E, there is a stronger need to be different, and to stand out from the canon charcters. Therefore, you can find all sorts of half-breed, fantastical OCs that might seem pretty close to impossible. (Elf/hobbit, faeries...)
6. Even is the OC and story is an extremely good one, it is still, in a degree, a self-insert.
7. Love. Sometimes, it's not about the characters; it's about falling in love in general. It's like an imaginary boyfriend.
8. I am sure there's more, but my brain's currently fried, and can no longer think up of any other explanations.

Downsides:

1. The authors, being teenagers who probably don't even like reading, sometimes use internet abbreviations and modern dialect to write. (Hell, this was this time I was looking at a fic that seemed pretty interesting, and then all of a sudden, I see "OMG!". O.0 For God's sakes, at least put "Oh, my god!") Sometimes, it could actually go the opposite way, and they would go overboard with the medieval dialect: "Thou shalt not toucheth me!" (Belive me, I've seen it.) They probably haven't read the source material (I don't blame them at all, even some adults find the material unwieldy), therefore have never done any research on the subject, so often use things they sometimes think up. They should at least learn to find their boundariees. If they only know about LoTR from the movies, they should write with the material given to them from the movies!
2. The LoTR universe is, in a way, pretty tightly-knit. Tolkien has written the timeline, genesis legend, even the lineage and family trees of many of the characters. Therefore, it's really hard to write an legitimate relative of Frodo, or whoever... You might be able to fool the causal ones, but the Ringers will be after your neck.
3. Since the source material is really unwieldy, the language is extremely hard ot grasp. Even in the Lord of the Rings books, you only get a few rudimentary sindarin, Quenya and a little of Rohirric, and they're hard to use. Therefore, you can find pretend Elvish or other tongues in fanfics that look as though the author just decided to press whatever key their finger lands on!
4. There are often OOC's or Out Of Character-ness or inaccuracies in description or otherwise.

There's more, but my internet time is coming to an end. But I back, alright, and I will have more notes! MUAHAHAHA!

It's Friday!

Yay! It's Friday!

We had Cisco today. The teacher said that Someone will come to ask us for feedback about Cisco. We will also have the chance to choose whether we want to stay in Cisco next year or not. If we don't fail Cisco, that is.

Anyways, know what's funny? Mr. Denis finally shaved today. It was quite a surprise, let's say. Before, hey actually looked pretty... scruffy but nice. Now, with the beard gone, he looks like a vulture looking for a carcass to pick on. Not a nice comparaison, I have to say.

It might be Friday, but with the French oral looming on my mind, it's not going to be very relaxing. It just seems so... I dunno...

And where da hell is Fiona??? Yi Jia and I were supposed to be recording our English oral together, but Kim is nowhere in sight. yi Jia suspected that she left, but she's back. I have to go...

Mary Sues

Oh, boy.

The one thing I hate about Legolas is probably his good looks. I'm not jealous. I'm a girl, for Gosh's sakes. I do envy his hair, though... How does anyone manage to keep his hair that sleek and shiny after months of walking outdoors without the modern shampoo?

But I digress. I am here to rant about Mary Sues. Most of them were attracted to the Lotr-dom by Legsie and his angel face... Well, there is Frodo, Aragorn, Boromir and Haldir, but maybe only Frodo can have anything even close to a fan-base like Legsies'. The sad thing is, Legsie's fan-base is made out of a LOT of obsessed teen-aged girls. Ok, fine, I'm an obsessed teen-age agirl, too, but it's with Tolkien's masterpeice, and Jackson's beautiful adaptation. Not Orli/Legsie.

They have invaded Fan-dom. Especially in the fanfic category. Unlike fanart, where they know their limits, and if they don't they know that if they had no artistic talents, they will be laughed for it. But fanfiction, however... You see, it's getting bad... I have an appetite for futurefics, so I decided to search "future" in fanfiction.net.

Guess what I found? Not any good futurefics, that's for sure; it actually spewed out 331 results. More than 31% seemed to be, or already had the makeup of, a Mary-Sue. If you don't know what a Mary-Sue is, just google it. Sigh... There ARE good sites, of course, where the questionable, or downright horrible fics are filtered, and only the cream of the crop is shown, but they are not as varied as the stuff you see on ordinary sites. I sincerely hope that the Mary-Sue authors can stop, or at least wait until they have honed some talent. Some of them are actually good ideas, but even if they were, they were mostly shamless self-inserts. The madness must stop!

Take a look at me! I come up with ideas for fanfics every day, and luckily, I'm past the self-insert phase, but I don't post them... Wonder why? I know the limits of my talent! I restrict myself to poetry because I know I have a short commitive span, and that my talents still need honing before I should put them online. I might not be a great example, but I'm just an obsessed teen-aged girl like the rest of them...

Maybe one day they'll learn... Until then, I give up on LOTR fanfiction searches, and I will concentrate more on the Holy Dan Brown's Angels and Demons.

Da Vinci Code

I have just finished the "Da Vinci Code". I am now going to go to my dear "Angels and Demons" by the oh-so-great Dan Brown. He has made my new list of favourite authors, joining the ranks of Tolkien, Rowling, C.S Lewis, and Phillip Pullman.

The computer has already given me a migrane. I won't put up with it anymore.

Oh, yeah, btw, can't believe I didn't pick up the "Da Vinci Code" sooner.

But seriously, for a moment: because of the "Da Vinci Code", and His Dark Materials,
I've just realized how much atheism plays a role in my life. Ok, kidding. But seriously, though, it seems quite appealing to me.

For one thing, other religions have a very restricted lifestyle. Some of the devout actually go as far as restricting the way they live. Like the Harry Poter scandal. Sheesh. Could've just become Amish, it's way easier. From the way I look at things, being atheist helps in a way where you sort of feel like you don't have to feel the wrath of the Almighty in the Afterlife, and burn in hell for "borrowing" your sister's hairbrush and never giving it back when you were sixteen. But it does raise a lot of questions, though. From the time we learn what death means, we begin obsessing about it. And we have good reason to. When we die, will it really be the end? Or will we brun in hell/have the best of your eternal life in heaven? I, sadly, believe that death is the end. No rebirth/reincarnation... It just sounds strange.

And guess where all this came from? My French test. I was supposed to find texts to explain why people believe in "god". Not God, as in Jehovah "God", but the Almighty in general. I have found very few info. Though I did find a lot of webpages dreated by atheists and devout evangelinists. Tough. I am sick of askjeeves.

And because of my slight migrane, I've decided to search around: I've found this really cool site full of humourous and not-so-humourous atheist quotes. Damn thing kept on freezing on me.

Take for example:
God is Love.
Love is blind.
Ray Charles is blind,
Therefore Ray Charles is God. ROTFL!

And screw my French test.

Happy International Women's Day!

Ahhh... It's nice to be recognized, and I'm very grateful that I live in an age and country where women are not considered the "weaker sex", and are equal to men. Thank you, all those women who rallied for equality!

Too bad it's not like China. According to my mother, back in 'ole China, on Women's day, the women get only half a day of work, and instead of working, they got to have a party and give out prizes. it could be an exception, though, considering the fact that my mother worked for a lawfirm...

Anyways, I decided to be thoughtful, and I made her a fruit salad. I am so proud of myself, it's almost a bit stupid.

My Site

Whooo...

That took forever. I've finally made two pages of ym site. I have to admit, I think it's pretty good for a beginner like me. Might not be much, but hey. Today, I endured child slave-labour, and now, a migrane. But it was worth it. Now, I'll probably get a sore wrist from trying to type over the cat. Sigh. Haven't snorted anything yet. Oh, yeah, before I forget:

What kind of FrodoSam OTP shipper are you?

Liberal. Frodo/Sam might be your favourite
pairing, but you are not at all bound to OTP.
You can appreciate many different fics or
pairings, provided that they are written in a
way that connects to you. Your creative mind
can see possibilities anywhere, and you have no
problems with actively seeking them.

What elemental dragon are you?

Your an ice dragon! Congrats! Out of all the
dragons, you are most powerful but do not like
to show it. A rare and special creture, you
have artistic style and are great at expressing
yourself. You think friends and Familly are the
most important, and are a hopeless romantic.
But of course, as ice goes, you can be a little
cold or harsh at times. But not to worry, you
always apoligize later!

Which Draco Malfoy would you fall for? O.o erm...

You like Good Guy
Draco!

Good Guy Draco
is...erm...basically a blonde Harry! Good Guy
Draco loves nothing more than Defeating
Voldemort, being friends with Harry and the
Golden Trio and being good! Good Guy Draco can
be found, um...anywhere where the golden trio
are! Good Guy Draco has turned his back on his
old evil ways and now just wants to be Harry's
best friend!

You like Good Guy Draco because
he reminds you of the guy you fancy or
boyfriend and really, you couldn't really love
someone who was bad!

Oscars

Ok, I probably really am the slowest blogger ever, but I really didn't have time; I was high after doing nothing but snortin' that lovely little drug called "fanfiction" three days in a row.

Anyways, it's time I did something about the Oscars. I was holding it up inside all this time: but here goes nothing:

THEY SUCKED!

And here are some of the things that just REALLY bored me/pissed me off:

1. Beyouncé: WFT??? Hello, why is it all of a sudden ALL about Beyouncé? Why did she have to decimate that song from "Les Choristes"?? It sounded so incomprehensible that the language part of my brain was practically bleeding, and I felt like a complete Yank whose French vocabulary extended only to "Merci" and "Bonjour"! Where da hell is Céline Dion when you need her the most? Why didn't you get someone who could actually speak French to sing that song?

2. Antonio Banderas. Oh, boy... It seems that Hollywood is all about celebrity. Oh, wait, that's too frikken obvious. The guy who sang the song in the movie was actually in the ceremony, but why didn't they let him sing? It's like getting Céline Dion to sing "Into the West" instead of Annie Lennox! It's just not the same! (No offence meant, I actually like Céline)

3. Ceremony: Why was it so unpredictable? Last year, with the Billy Crystal opening scene, my entire family was in stitches. This year, my entire brain was bleeding with boredom. The jokes and monologues weren't worth remembering either. Could be because there was nothing truly extraordinary *coughReturnoftheKingcough*...

Yick...

Anyways, I saw Lost yesterday. What were the numbers again? I forgot... Anyways, I was wondering: if Hurley was worth 120 million bucks, then why wasn't he in first class? If he was, he should have been sitting close to the cockpit, and probably dead.

Hmm... So many mysteries that only time and the writers can tell...
