look who's calling the pot black

Stolen somewhere on lj. It just looked too fun.

1 – Go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 – Go to Random quotations: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 – Go to flickr’s “explore the last seven days” : http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

Put it all together, that’s your debut album.

Mine actually looks pretty cool.

It doesn’t have a neat indy name or anything, but it’s still pretty neat. I like it.

Going to sleep now,

Oh my gosh it’s late. Quickly darting this off in the last few minutes before it’s actually 12 – Martian Child is an awesome movie that I love, yes I do have Strep Throat and it sucks, and my revisions are coming along. Everyone’s been really supportive about them, which makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Also, CBS sucks for not putting Sneakerhead, the new Numb3rs, up on their website. Their loading stinks too. It would happen that the one network that puts out my favorite shows is the one single network that doesn’t have a working website. I hope they get their act together before NCIS on Tuesday, though, because otherwise it will really suck.

Also my father doesn’t know how old I am. Again. And he doesn’t know that I’ve taken Bio, AP Bio, and Chem even when Bio and Chem took up two summers and I lived and breathed the AP for months Freshman year. Either he’s just stupid, Alzheimer’s, or he just doesn’t care. I’m not sure which one would hurt worse.

Anyway, it’s taken too long and I’ll have to lie to WordPress again. Little white lies.

~DreamingOfNothing

Not much is new, except that the Lubavitch Rebbe is never coming back. Yes, this is news to some people. He died. Let’s move on.

Also, the Prince Caspian movie is much duller second time around. Though Caspian is still… Rawr. There are several scenes in the torchlight where he looks exactly like a teenaged Reid, I swear. It’s rather unnerving. Even when he looks completely different, he’s like Aragorn for my eyes. Except not as fine, except also not older than my dad. It’s all a toss-up.

And he has a Spanish accent that sounds like Inigo Montoya’s. Beat that.

So I’ve had a nice icon-gathering afternoon (I was reading fic and nabbing icons and listening to music and I think I may have actually started purring) which was kinda heaven. And then watched Prince Caspian with the family. And then wrote some. And read more of Refining Fire, which did not make me purr. Growl, more like. And have raising of the hackles. Because stop, bloody thing, stop it.

I posted enough cool stuff yesterday. Cut me some slack for being boring today.

Oh. Mah. Gosh.

This hyar mah be mah favo’ite site fo’evah now.

Curse you, BlindinglyArticulate. This thing is so darn weird.

RULES
-You must fill out EVERY question! No skipping!
-Tag five people afterwards.
-Leave a message on their page telling them they’re tagged.

ARE YOU…
1. Perfect? Duh.
2. Tall? I’d like to think I’m tall, but finding myself right smack dab in the middle of a height-order photograph informed me otherwise.
3. In your pajamas? Nope. I actually hate my pajamas.
4. Left handed? As much as that would make everything much cooler (as well as making my handwriting admit that I’m introverted) nope. Righty.

LAST…
1. Friend you saw: *Thinks hard* Probably Gigi. That’s a pseudonym that hopefully BlindinglyArticulate can puzzle out. Thank god. Gigi’s a horrible name.
2. Talked to on the phone with: The person I babysat for last night until zero o’clock.
3. Person to text you: Don’t really text. I think I had a text conversation during a conference a few years ago with my dad, so that’s probably the last person.
4. Was today better than yesterday? Oh, hell yes. Yesterday I went to school and had a test and came home and went straight to babysitting the most terrorizing children in history before coming home to pass out.

FAVORITE:
1. Number: 6. There is very complicated numerology behind that.
2. Color(s): Red, blue and black. Kinda like the negative of a US flag.
3. Fruit: Do crasins count? Because I may just be addicted to crasins.
4. Place: Home. Though Hawaii is really pretty nice.

EIGHT EMOTIONS:…?
1. Are you missing someone right now? BlindinglyArticulate, for one.
2. Are you happy? I guess I could say that. Overall.
3. Are you sad? At the status of the world and my family? Yes. Personally? Not at the moment, but give me a second.
4. Are you bored? Kind of. This isn’t that interesting of a questionnaire.
6. Are you nervous? About my project? About my test(s)? About growing up and making money? I’ll take “Life of Stress” for 500, Alex.
8. Are you tired? Story of my life. Particularly now, given the late and exhausting bedtime of last night.

ABOUT YOU:
1. Real name? Dreaming O. Nothing. My parents had a sense of humor.
2. Nick names? I think it’s just Alphred, actually. And no, that’s not my real name.
3. Eye color? Bluish hazel.
4. Zodiac sign? Twins. Because they are awesome beyond belief, cool little Castor and Pollux.
5. Male or female? You know what, I’m not even going to answer that. We’ve had this conversation. It’s called my entire freaking blog.
6. Slut? Sometimes I wish I were capable of being a slut, and would like to be, but there’s no way on earth I could be.
7. Smart? So they say. You tell me.
8. Hair color? Very dark brown. I thought it was black, like Mulan’s, until I was eight. I was crushed.
9. Long or short? (Oh, BA, I thought that was just me) Long. Very. Braided in a Ziva braid right now.
10. Sweats or Jeans? Jeans. All the way. I need my clothing durable.
11. Phone or Camera? I don’t really use my phone, but I love my camera.
12. Drink or Smoke? I hate alcohol, because it’s kind of gross, but I almost wish that I could try all this stuff without ruining my body. Like having a rewind button, you know? *Sighs* Man, would one of those be good.
14. Righty or lefty? YOU ASKED THIS ALREADY, IDIOT. RIGHT.

FIRSTS:
1. First best friend? John. Four or five years old, Texas playgroup. We dropped block bombs on the little girls playing house.
2. First crush? All of my friends told me that I had a crush on this kid named Raphael, but I don’t think I did. It’s probably Sirius. Or Remus. When I was fourteen. *Bangs head against wall*
3. First pet? Goldfish. Named him Bubbles. Got a fungus and escaped to the big fishbowl in the sky.
4. First big vacation? Mexico. Six months. Unfortunately do not remember a minute of it.

CURRENTLY:
1. Eating? Caramels.
2. Drinking? Ice water. I’m thinking of getting some hot chocolate, though.
3. I’m about to: Finish reading my feeds and maybe find Darma and Greg somewhere.
4. Listening to? Nothing.
5. Plans for today? Do homework. Watch television on my computer. Read. Alphabetize my icons.

WHICH IS BETTER WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX? [very awkwardly phrased... Do you mean what do I have that's better with the opposite sex, or what do I like?]
1. Shorter or taller? I don’t really care, actually, but I find that the people I like are taller than me.
2. Romantic or spontaneous? Romantically spontaneous is about as good as I can put it. Though awkward and fumbling also turns me on, for some reason.
3. Sensitive or loud? Sensitive.
4. Hook-up or relationship? Relationship. Much as I’d like to be able to do hook-ups, I tend to get emotionally involved.

HAVE YOU EVER:
1. Drank bubbles? Soda bubbles.
2. Lost glasses/contacts? Seven years old. First pair. Lost ‘em on the playground.
3. Ran away from home? I remember threatening it a lot when I was six or seven, but to this day I never have. Packed my bag once, but that’s about it.
4. Broken someone’s heart? Oh, if only I’d ever had the chance.
5. Been arrested? Nope. Goody goody.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN:
1. Miracles? Totally.
2. Yourself? Nope.
3. Heaven? I’m with Descartes on this one. Why not?
4. Santa Claus? Are you kidding? Of course I believe in Santa Claus! He’s awesome!
4. Love? For a while I didn’t. But now I do.
5. Do you like someone? Yes. No celebrities (if I can even call them that)? I’m scared maybe.
6. Do you believe in God? Yes. Even if sometimes he screws people over.
7. Answered the truth on all questions? I believe so.

Q: What was the first thing you did this morning when you got up? Looked at the clock, said “You have got to be kidding,” and went back to sleep. (It was 5:30 AM and the gang-catching-police sirens had woken me up for the hundredth day in a row)

Q: Do you have anything bothering you? School. My writing. The fact that a friend of mine has been complaining about nerds at her Driver’s Ed and I have the terrible feeling that if we weren’t forced to be friends then she’d say the same stuff about me. The president. Tony and Jeanne not being together anymore and Jenny Shepard being dead. Being suddenly poor. It’s actually really great to be anonymous.

Q: What’s the last movie you saw? Mad Money. OMG it was awesome.

Q: Where is the last place you went? To the gym to pick up my siblings from Generic Martial Art.

Q. Do you smile a lot? People say I don’t.

Q: Do you wish upon stars? Sometimes. If I’m feeling particularly whimsical.

Q: Are you a friendly person? Friendly as in outgoing? Absolutely not. Friendly as in nice and hoping that people aren’t mad at me? Yes.

Q: Where did you sleep last night? A little bit while babysitting and then in my own comfy bed.

Q: When was the last time you cried? A few weeks ago, after fighting with father, who might notice things about me if he cared enough to look.

Q: What was your last thought before going to sleep last night? Never. Again.

Q: Rate life as of right now one being bad ten being great? 8. It’s not too bad right now.

Q: What do you hear right now? My computer being busy and my fingers tippity-tapping on the keys. I think that’s a brother shouting in the next room.

Q: Does anything hurt right now? My back, which has decided to develop teenage arthritis, and my wrist with tendonitis, which hurts when I bend it.

Q: What’s your favorite month? June. It’s summer, but before it gets killer hot.

Q: What did you do last night? Babysat. And slept.

Anyone who really wants to waste their time… Consider yourself tagged.

Okay. Economic crisis. Nutty president. More people out to take more of our money.

It’s the Bonfire of the Vanities at our house now. Being broke doesn’t really suit us, I don’t think.
