evettive

I've officially given up on the meme.
I'm ridiculously behind and don't particularly feel like catching up.

In other news, I got my grades for school.
2 A's and 3 B's, so GPA = 3.4;
Not bad, I'll take it. :)

I can't believe Christmas is three days away!
Unfortunately, I work tomorrow and Christmas Eve, but only for a few hours each day.

Some things:

- I am in such a good mood lately! I just am. I am not eating like such a pig and my clothes are fitting better, for one. It's almost Christmas, my boyfriend is adorable, good things are happening with my most favorite of people and bands, and life is good.

- I'm doing ADIML today. No good reason, just thought it would be fun. I talked my co-worker into doing it, too. Y'all are going to get some closed captions up in here.

- Shout out to scullyseviltwin, who will beta the crap out of a fic based on a movie that came out 11 years ago that I'm pretty sure no one has ever or will ever write a fic about. Internet cookies for you!

- Here's Lily. I love me some Lily.


- Tonight there will be Christmas shopping. Epic Christmas shopping. And it will be good.

- Happy holidays, friends. I am glad to have all of you in my lives. And rock on.

Hey, here's a year-end meme. Bet you've never seen one of those before!

Day 17 -> An Art Piece.
I've always liked this one by Van Gogh.

Day 16 -> A Song That Makes You Cry

Oh man.
There's a few.
But bb..THIS ONE. EVERY EFFIN' TIME.



Denny, my love, I adore you and miss you.
Shame on Shonda Rhimes, but that's a whole other story.

Hear that? That's the sound of a fangirl explosion.

I know you guys are getting tired of this, and don't worry, at least after the concert on the 19th there will be a month-long break before the Canadian tour starts and I won't be bugging everyone daily about it. I always feel like I'm being annoying and weird about these things, but I suppose if it annoyed you too much, you can defriend me. I will probably take it personally for a few days and then get over it, 'cause I'm so mature like that. But I can't help it today! Axl seems determined to make a comeback and if tonight (Last night? Tomorrow night? It's the future!) in Japan was any indication, it's going to happen and in a big way.

The concert just ended, it was 3 hours plus and included nearly every song on Chinese Democracy, plus the beginning of Don't Cry and all of Patience and other assorted songs they haven't played in years. Ever since Slash, etc. left the band, I haven't given a shat about the rest of the people in it. But now they have DJ Ashba and Bumblefoot and other assorted awesomeness, and Axl really seems to be enjoying himself and they're rocking everyone's faces off. I'm just so PROUD. Axl has been through a lot of shit--some of it self-inflicted, I admit--over the years and he could have just hung it up and never left his ridiculous Malibu mansion ever again. But he's out there, he's punching photographers and tweeting and kicking ass and taking names...it's an amazing time to be a GNR fan, and I'll tell you, most of the time it SUCKS with a capital S. But I have a feeling that's all going to change. And I am so, so happy. You rock on with your bad self, GNR.

Hrmm. Anyway. In other news, and yes there is other news:
- Today is Josh and I's four year anniversary. 4 years ago, I was lonely and seeking companionship, and Josh, whom I hadn't spoken to in 6 or 7 years, told me amazing things about how he felt, then he came over and we acted on those feelings. He also got his car towed because I told him to park across from the dumpster but he didn't listen! Muahaha. It's been a bumpy ride and like I've said a thousand times, I have no clue about the future. But he is my redheaded guacamole man, and good times.

- I've been doing the early overtime/gym after work thing this week. It makes me feel productive, although waking up at 6:15 will never stop sucking.

- Christmas is next week and I have finished shopping for my mom and stepdad, but nobody else. I need money to accomplish this, and yet I don't have any. Hmm. Interesting.

- I need to start watching the stuff that's been accumulating on my DVR instead of watching Friends all the time. But like they say, it's moo. It's a cow's opinion. It doesn't matter. It's moo.

Anyway. Thanks for sticking around, friends. And may your holiday be full of fangirl explosions, as well.

I swear I'll come back soon and do a real entry that has real words that aren't about a person that I've never met/probably never will meet/have spent entirely too much of my life obsessing over. But for now, who wants a pic spam of Axl hotness? You, you say?

( Then come in, why don't you... )

So I was in the middle of both working and trying to find pictures for a Hot Axl picspam I'm about to reward us all with when I recieved a delivery. Oh, yes, I have a boyfriend who is not a middle-aged rock star that I will probably never meet/talk to/etc., but is in fact a nice lovely boy in his twenties who actually cares about me and wants me to know that he remembers tomorrow is our anniversary (FOUR YEARS!). Sometimes I have to be gently reminded of these things.



Aww. I love my Josh.

Day 15 -> A Fanfic.

Oh goodness..I would shamelessly plug the couple I've written but I won't subject any of you to that.

That being said, I'm going with THIS one, because "That's my wrist!" is one of the funniest scenes of the show if you ask me, and this story makes that scene better. MUCH BETTER. :)

Day 14 -> A Non-Fictional Book

I had to read it this semester for World Civ.
Not a bad read.
Its about the King of Belgium taking over the Congo in Africa when all of Europe was doing their imperialist thing.
-> Better known as the "Scramble for Africa" in the 1880's and 1890's.

"King Leopold's Ghost"
--Adam Hochschild

Day 13 -> A Fictional Book

Oh, goodness.

Uhm--OH! I KNOW!



^^ I'm really out-geeking myself with this one, but seriously, if you watched Star Trek TNG and were PISSED when Jean-Luc/Beverly never happened, READ. THIS. BOOK.

It makes up for it. :)

Apparently I'm terrible at keeping up with this meme thing.

Day 11 -> A Photo of Me Taken Recently
August '09




Day 12 -> Whatever Tickles My Fancy

(Because I was already in my PB account..) :)

Since the last time I updated:
a. I haven't slept much.
b. Axl punched a photographer in LA. This surprises no one.
c. Axl (and the band) acquired a Twitter! My life will probably never be the same.
d. There was a concert in Taiwan, AXL SHOWED UP ON TIME!! They played a bunch of awesomeness from Chinese Democracy including This I Love (which is my favorite song on the album), some songs from Appetite and not nearly enough from Use Your Illusions.
e. It took a while, but finally a picture has surfaced. It looks as though he's gained some weight and ditched the braids. I like it, damn it. Enjoy your cheeseburger, Axl! You deserve it!



Hopefully there will be more pictures because this is not enough to obsess over.

There's another concert on the 13th, so that is something to look forward to.

I should work now.
