LoudTwitter is looooud

I was going to stay up all night reading fanfiction like I did last night (except I didn't plan on it last night), except my sister just told me that my graduation rehearsal is tomorrow at 11 so I should probably go to sleep kind of soon.

I got a lot done today. Besides the work-study thing, I did all of the paperwork I've been putting off to do with my loans and scheduled which orientation day in July I'm going to Wells, and did my laundry so my sheets are all clean and nice-smelling for a pleasant change, and now I have a fan in my bedroom window, which is a good thing. Tomorrow I'm going to do this rehearsal thing and then I'm going to find my summer clothes in the basement so I can have shorts to wear now that the weather's up in the 70s, and I'm going to make a good effort to at least finish reading Heart of Darkness if I don't actually start the essay outright.

I realized today somewhere between reading the changes to the list of kinks for Kink Bingo and noticing that I need to refill my prescription soon and reading something asimaiyat wrote about polyamory in fic that I want to read a kind of fic that I don't think I've seen often. I want to read mental health issues fic. I want to see someone struggling to stay med-compliant, or having an appointment with a therapist, or realizing they're on the verge of a manic swing. Just because a character seems well-adjusted doesn't mean they don't have problems, and the smarter a character is the more likely it is that they're fucked up, and I just... kind of want to see that explored in a new way, I guess. Does anyone have any recs like this, or am I totally going off the rails here? Am I projecting too much, or would this be interesting to anyone else? I think the closest thing I've seen to this is some excellently-done Watson PTSD angst, but I want to see people who are just screwed by their own biology, not by any outside influence.

Whatever, that's probably really bizarre.

Yeah, I should probably go to bed now.

Posting early because I can... Today sees Scarlett Johansson and Sendhil Ramamurthy going bye-bye. They fought the good fight! Now we're down to the final three in each category.

Your votes are more important now than ever... you never know when the balance of power will tip over!

THE RULES
1. I have picked 10 female and 10 male celebs I find attractive.
2. Every day, I will make a poll and you'll have to vote for the ONE girl and ONE guy you find the least attractive (not so much who you LIKE, but who you find hot.)
3. After 24 hours, the poll will be closed and the man and woman with the most votes will be disqualified. There will then be a new poll with the remaining contestants.
4. After ten days, there will be two winners!!

I should finish one daily thing before I start another, but hotness deathmatch is almost done, and I get bored easily, as you all well know. SO! 30 Days of Film meme, yoinked from boombangbing.

Day 01 - Favorite foreign language film

Apparently Amelie and Lola Rennt are cliched answers to this one, but I dearly love both those films. Picking any anime movie seems too pat, even if Adolescence of Utena is one of the most visually stunning examples of animation I can think of. Yossi and Jagger was too desperately sad for me to count it as a favorite. However, there's one film that gives me pretty much everything I want out of a tale of friendship, and does it in such a charming and stylish way!



Kamikaze Girls is about the growing friendship between Momoko, a Lolita girl who sells her dad's knock-off clothing to get money to support her frilly dress habit, and Ichigo, a Yanki gang member who doesn't get the Lolita mindset but hangs around with Momoko anyways. It's really a cute story, and it's fun to see Momoko be a badass at the end of the movie. :D

( the rest of the days )


It is 80 degrees out. It is too hot to do anything besides sweat. I had rehearsal for graduation at 11 and I almost passed out from standing up too long in the heat. It's not supposed to get much cooler by Sunday. I really, really hope I don't actually faint on the day I graduate, that would be beyond embarrassing. The only thing worse would be tripping as I walk off the stage. I don't want either of these things to happen...

One nice thing about graduating and having to wear the cap and gown is I can finally wear my fancy Chucks to an event that isn't a wedding. They're so pretty, I wish I had more opportunities to show them off. xD

I basically napped away the entire afternoon. There's got to be something I should be doing... something that isn't smoking the last bit of weed I almost forgot I brought back from Plattsburgh....

I just finished watching Only You, a kind of ridiculous romantic comedy with Robert Downey Jr. and Marisa Tomei.... it was cute. More accurately, he was really cute, and she was adorable. Not a bad way to knock two hours out of my day.

What I should really do with the rest of my night is leave feedback on all these stories I have open in Firefox... I mean, I have kind of a lot of things I really owe people comments on and just haven't felt coherent enough to say anything better than "omg love it", and folks really deserve better than that. I've really gotten so much worse at leaving decent feedback in the past year.

...but I'm probably just going to catch up on Fringe, because everybody's been talking it up and I really have no excuse for not having watched it yet. I have five episodes to watch, I can finish up by midnight if I start now.

Hotness Deathmatch has me on the edge of my seat, people. It's such a close race. If you care at all about it, vote now!
