Never thought of that, to be honest, but Erin joked a dozen times that when I'm thirty I'll be Brian Kinney and when I'm past forty I'll be Greg House. XPP

Not a particular fan of "kawaii" anime girls, but the works of this artist are to my liking. Properly cute and eerie. http://www.camilladerrico.com/A group of friends captained by yours truly decided to have a picnic yesterday. The tricky thing is that when we had made up our magnificent minds about it it was sunny and lovely outside, but when we set out to put our plan into action, it started raining. It rained with intervals all day yesterday. That didn't stop us from connecting with the nature, naturally. Who cares if we got a bit wet? XPP My plans for the summer remain obscure. I have planned my holidays over and over again, but some treacherous bits and pieces simply refuse to form the bigger picture. Paris, however, remains the constant element. Well, not strictly Paris, since if I do get there, Renee and I will be traveling quite a lot. Renee has the same long sharp object up his you-know-what as I do that stops him from lazing about in the same place for more than a few days. What bothers me is that I don't quite know when I'm free to go yet. England is the last place I want to visit at the moment. Family business, you know. Ducky wanted to get together, though, but I'm thinking of asking him to come over to France. I'm sure Renee will be thrilled. He seems to have a certain affinity for rich slackers like Ducky. I'd even go as far as stating he studies them. Call it a social experiment. Also, I recall him stating once that "there can never be enough pretty boys around". If anything, Ducky is smoking hot. XPP It may also be quite useful to sort out our own turbulent relationship. I'm still lost as to who is making an enemy out of who in our case.

I'm being harrassed by Alexander Rybak. His stupid song is stalking me! Firstly, Arnie's got himself a girl who's a fan and she coerced her violinist of a brother to learn it. Then, I started hearing it everywhere. S.O.S.! Prison Break finale wasn't exactly the last episode to date. I watched The Final Break. It was... uhm... AWESOME! Finally they brought Gretchen back whom I'd missed since The Sunshine State. Even if her role wasn't as fulfilling as I'd hoped it mught be, she still brought a lot into this episode. It was a relief to see her completely turn her back on Krantz and even help Sara. To see Michael go down was sad but he got to die for something that he cared about. It's a rare priviledge anyway. And Mahone was, well, Mahone. XPP A synonim for 'cool' as always. I'd say it's a decent farewell to one of my favourite tv-shows (which happens to me really rarely; I mostly watch tv-shows for the lolz of it or if I'm bored). That's overall just a quick notice to show I still am on this plane of existence. I'll be back to my regular stalking-you-without-you-knowing in a few hours. Your Most Awesome, Alex in Wonderland. P.S. No, I haven't smoked Kishimoto's pot, if that's what you want to imply.

I'm alive! *grins* No, seriously, I didn't realise it was such a long time... Where the hell have I been? All over the place(s), I'd say. Mostly balancing between another crazy family shit, unwanted visitors, work and patching things up between a few of my friends who suddenly decided they hated each other. I did say I was from Krypton, right? XPP Fandom stuff scared me half to death. Here's when I'm happy I'm not really in any fandom. It's bad enough when your favourite shows/books/movies get screwed up; no need to chew it all up. In a nutshell: ~ Heroes: Huh? ~ Prison Break: O_O ??? ~ Lost: WTF!? ~ Naruto: ... Also, I see everyone's talking about the new Star Trek film. Seen it. XP Liked it. Scratch that: loved it. I was never particularly interested in it (I'm more of a Star Wars guy), but I watched quite a lot of that show with Picard and the Klingon bloke. And Mum was/is (probably revisited now anyway) a Trekkie. So I did see some of the very first series as well. This film is different but quite entertaining. And it has Quinto in it. AND Nimoy. But screw all that: I LOVE SCOTTY! XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD And now I'll try to be a nice LJ-friend and comment on something. People, I did read most of what I'd missed. I just had little time (and brain-power) to drop comments.

Sylar! Who needs a detective when you can have a serial killer on your side. And as the latest episode of Heroes shows, he does a pretty good job when he needs to investigate something, and his deduction is good. I am so predictable... Turns out the lying pregnancy test didn't lie, by the way. Jules is pregnant. High time I say 'oh fuck!' and get my mafia gun at the ready.

While you do enjoy the energy of a caffeine boost, you love that it allows you to take a break. You're not in a rush to do anything. You're content with your life, and in no rush to change it. |
Yep. Apparently that's it))) Though there are a few points I'd disagree with. First of all, I prefer coffee over tea as a drink. XPP And then, while I'm not "in a hurry", I do strive to change the way things are, if only because I like change. Stasis is boring. And... I know I disappeared again. ^_~ I did read all my flist, and even commented on some entries, but... oh well, you know me, I'm more a lurker than a... yeah, shoot me, I'm unreliable! XPP Or rather, blame it all on Renee and my religious studies.

What, no Sylar this week? I'm frustrated! XDDD Instead we get Kishimoto-sensei on a killing spree. But Heroes were creeping up my chart steadily this season because of so much Sylar, and I was expecting... Oh well, I have nothing against Noah Bennet anyway. But Parkman should tone down. Seriously. Very-very seriously. As for Kishimoto, for once I'm glad I'm not in any fandom whatsoever. I hear there is a lot of bashing and shipping wank going on on account of the silly little girl's feat. What can I say? Everybody deserves their 15 minutes of fame. And now I'm gonna watch the stupid film about another crazy girl a.k.a. The Ring 2. I think now that she's out of Naruto's world, Hinata should apply for a job in the local well. Making videotapes of doom and haunting people like no tomorrow.

I had a dream that I woke up in the city full of madmen. There were soap bubbles everywhere, and a tall shabby bloke I had met in Paris spoke to me about poetry. He said that real poetry is the one that is not written yet, that exists only as a fleeting thought somewhere in the emptiness of your skull. We were drinking coffee in a small coffee-shop from green curved glasses made of ceramics, and the world was warped and shiny and the sky was pink and blue. In short, I want to travel the realm of my dreams more. The real world is here, and the dreams are way too fickle.

One of these days, I'll have to be completely back here. Why? Just because. XPP No particular reason. I haven't actually been busy. Not too busy. Just too lazy. Also, there was some kind of a flood of phonecalls and messages from people I haven't seen or heard from for ages. First, Legolas and Kathryn dragged their happy-family idyll to meet me. I didn't get the purpose of this visit, but we had a bit of good time. Then, Christine. That was less nice, especially since Kathryn and her are at daggers drawn with each other, and Legolas and I have been caught in a crossfire when they met. They reminded me of cats spitting at each other over a piece of food)))) Finally, Andy. We have been talking, of course, but he was away in Helsinki and I was too lazy to grab a train and visit him. Not that he dropped by, we had a conversation about how much life sucks and how much more it used to suck. As far as I understood, he's planning some music project back in Finland. He even found some blokes to form a band with. He brought up Carcrash in conversation, and we both started laughing, and I said: "We should have named it Train-wreck. Or Plane-crash. Would have been even more precise." We used to be so lazy and so self-absorbed and so ridiculously, immaturely romantic. I know I wanted a taste of Nirvana-like fame for myself. Blaze bright and burn out quickly, go out with a bang and be remembered for eternity. I'm not so sure what it was that the others wanted. Fame, money, fans? "Do you miss it?" Andy asked. Fuck no! We were horrible! We had horrible poetry (I guess I should have been drinking more often))); we had horrible sound (like a... Nirvana/Placebo love-child rip-off); horrible image (don't even start me on that!); horrible assistance (Christine, I'm looking at you here!); and horrible shit in our heads. I guess we all were exteremely happy to see it go down the drain because mediocrity should be exterminated and dilettantism should be severely punished. To my knowledge, Cass still plays drums unprofessionally and Arnie still plays keyboard. I still play guitar and so does Andy, and there's nothing criminal about it. As long as we keep that away from the world, of course. XDDDD By the way, it's not an assault of self-criticism; I don't have it. It's a fit of brutal honesty. And finally: I've read all your entries that I missed. Sorry if I didn't comment on all of them, but I did read them.

There... I'm kind of back))) Christmas was so much fun that I won't hesitate to call it the best Christmas I've had in my life. Had Renee been like... 50 years younger, I'd have been the happiest person now. Anyway... Happy New Crazy Year that is coming... soon. XPP I'm going to drink some booze, and wait for V. I didn't tell him I was coming back before January, so he had other plans for this night. But oh well, here I am, the notorious plan-breaker! =)

Renée sent me an invitation for Christmas. Looks like I'm going to France. O_o Whee! What sucks about it is that it's gonna be another V-less holiday, but then again, I used to spend my holidays alone or with few select "friends" long before we met. It was the same way with Stan as well. I just need to run away from "lovers" if it's a holiday. Besides, I can't pass up a chance to meet Renée in person. Yes, it's that awesome French old guy I'd mentioned before. Hell, why didn't D.A.D. tell me before that he had such cool friends? It's always a pleasure to communicate with people that can change your opinion on something. Especially if you're me, and I'm usually very stubborn. Renée for example disproves my axiome that old people suck)))) http://www.burmese-dictionary.org/search.php Lol, I found a small Burmese dictionary)))

I can hear music. The sound of silence. As you can guess, I threw away my eternal enemy... PHONE! XDDDD Not exactly through away. More like brutally ripped the plug out of the socket. Turned off the cell phone. I would have barricaded the door but then the guests would have crept in through the sewer or any other way 'cos I don't make friend with normal people, but with strange gollum-like creepy-crawlies. I'm sure they would have found a way. I'm not drunk yet. But I am drinking.We started off this morning watching the latest Prison Break and Heroes. My impressions are: ~ PB: T-Bag, whyyyyy???? WHYYYY????? Never trust a Bible salesman! Bibles are evil!! Also, Self disappoints me on and on. What's with the crazy shooting? Finally: Michael! Is it the time to mourn yet? Mahone! WTF? If Lang is a traitor, who else can we trust? Well, fuck. ~ Heroes: SYLAR! I can't help it, I love the guy even when he's being stupid. His Mummy and Daddy issues are annoying, but today he was awesome. It's just that I'm not sure Arthur is actually dead. Too easy. But damn, Sylar! "It does kind of tingle." Hehehe. Peter was annoying as always. Hiro was... heartbreaking. The scene with him and his kaa-san was sad. But the catalyst thing is... kind of ridiculous. I thought it was something in the blood, not some heavenly light thing! They should show it to Nathan seeing as he's so faithful now. Well, that's what we did in the morning. Then we went out, bought some shit, and now we're celebrating. I don't know what exactly 'cos the boys are way too drunk to talk to and Cass has ocupied the bathroom with her new bloke (like we don't have enough rooms!).
shaitanah, love, thank you once again for the remarkable present! And thanks to everyone who... well, you know. Yeah.

Where the hell have I been? Don't ask... The "V Moving In" saga seems to be officially complete. The whole enterprise turned out to be far more annoying than anyone else moving in has ever been (friends used to live here or Kenny or whoever... I think I once found one of Cassidy's boys here and it turned out he'd been staying in my flat already for a couple of days without me having noticed). For a moment there I was even considering creating the sequel: "V moving out... like, NOW!" But he stopped getting on my nerves, we sorted our shit out (like "he's not trying to change my lifestyle or control my freedom" and all that macho crap... but really, I'm fiercely protective of my aerials))))... What actually surprised me is his willingness to fight his pedantism and make peace with the fact that I'm not the most organized person in the world. When it comes to V, one hair out of place, one book away from its shelf, one sock out of the wardrobe - these are all tragedies, small-scale but nonethless significant catastrophes. He's perfectly all right with that if he doesn't live where it's happening. But if it's his house we're talking about... But he's being nice and patient. And I'm being nice and patient. To me, it's a tragedy when someone tries to clean up my mess. I don't have cockroaches or rodents in my apartment. I don't grow penicillin on my bread, and my corners aren't exactly blooming with spider-web. So what's up? ;))) But like I said, we're both being very nice and patient. *puts his hand on the bomb primer* Maybe I'm growing up... heh))) Speaking of that... tomorrow is that awful day. Yeah, that one, the one that features Birthday cake, candles, unpleasant phone calls and pathetic reminders that you're one year closer to losing your good looks and vitality. Erin, my darling, shall we lament together? <3

I'm officially very stressed. Cass's style of choosing friends will never cease to amuse me. She found herself a pretty freaky feminist/lesbian/alien-monster-in-disgui se girl-friend-from-hell and naturally brought her (it?) to Arnie's today. The plan was for the former band to have a quiet time together, talk about rubbish (like Greg needs therapy or Andy's new gf is dumb; you know, meaningless shit that people talk about with friends and forget the minute they have to face the almight RL monster alone again). But hey, things are never simple with Cassidy! I have no idea what pit of hell she got that 'lady' from but we had to listen to her man-hating theory for 3 hours straight. She sort of works on a research of feministic subtexts in Jane Austen's books, and for a while it was pretty interesting, but... really, there were 3 guys + Cassidy (who may act all emancipated but still needs a bloke to make her feel grounded) - and by the time she was done we all felt like we should go and jump off some skyscraper for mistreating the entire female half of Earth's population. Usually I admire such people who can make even me feel brainwashed. Her monologue wasn't the usual "Men are pigs; we don't need'em!" It was a pretty well-balanced and poignant accusation of all males of all the sins of humanity. It was fun when she cornered Arnie on account of his orientation. To her, homosexuals are even worse than straight men - probably because not only do they not respect women (who said that!?) but they also do not need them. Arnie squeaked out something like, "I'm not gay, I'm bi," and she went completely ballistic))) In the meantime we were laughing our heads off. Cass grinned at me and Andy and said smth like, "See? I have cool friends!" Andy glared at her like he was trying to burn her to ashes with that look, and when the scary feminist attacked me and him, we practically screamed we were straight)))) I think it was the first time in my life when I lied about my orientation. XDDD But really, I can be forgiven: I didn't want to hear another 2-hours-long speech about how 'gay' and 'mysoginist' are the same thing. At night I was bored and decided to catch up on the fan stuff I follow. ~ Naruto: Holy shit! No words here really. On one hand, I love Pein and it's cool that he's so unbeatable and all. On the other hand, I love Kakashi too, and if he dies, it'd be a bummer. So... what's the way out? And "hiatus" sounds troublesome. Who knows how long it may last? ~ Heroes: Sylar, make up your mind already! He's like a kid whose parents try to buy his love and he can't choose whom he loves best. First Mummy was good, but oh noes, she'd tried to kill him in his childhood, so now Daddy's good. And also, Sylar/Peter... I want more of that. ~ Prison Break: One big wtf! Bellick, whyyyyy? Okay, I do know why, and it was noble and awesome and heartbreaking and blah-blah-blah, especially compared to Roland's death last episode... Probably the best way to go, but still... And also, Gretchen and the General. Now that really is WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!????????????????????? That's about all I had time for. Go me and my sleepless nights! =)))

I. Am. Officially. Free! The little bugger moved in with his parents on week-end (he took Muad'Dib with him and I kind of miss the fluffy sweetness already) and I am happy. I'm like... HAPPY in block letters! The only problem is that I've lost my kitchen slave, but I'm planning to induce V to move in - and he can actually cook. Better than I do. On the other hand, I found out that I can cook better then Mars does. He actually ate something that I made. And didn't die. And asked for more. Holy Mother of..! Miracles happen! There is God! He created us totally unequal and I have been blessed in our un-equality with the uncanny talent of cooking better than Mars. Or rather, it is Mars's talent to cook worse than I do. This calls for celebration! I shall be gone now. To find something to eat. XDDD Oh, one more thing. I met this really cool old guy. I don't normally find old guys cool but he's really awesome. He's some kind of Dad's friend or teacher or smth and right now he's in France (I think). We spoke on MSN so far (really old guys can use it too)))) and he said he'd teach me Burmese because he knows it. And he's a specialist. And he's so much fun to talk to! I'm totally his fan already which is surprising. A little too fast. I don't know; it's just... major luck for me.

So, shaitanah and I have been discussing fandoms and such and she whined me into doing this pairing meme. I'm not a huge fan of memes, but I do love compiling various lists of likes/dislikes. I'm not really active in any fandom, I only read fanfiction sometimes (mostly the one written by people I know), watch vids (mostly by recs as well), stuff like that. And my preferences are subject to change very quickly. So far the list would look like this: [1] List your top 10 character ships. [2] Put all of them IN ORDER of your love for them. (10 to 1, 1 being my main fixation) [3] Say which movie/show/thing it was that they're in. [4] Supply photos for said people. [*]Extra, share recs to your favorite fanfics about these pairings. ( Pairings meme )
