Trekkie Love

Fri May 15, 2009, 3:47 PM
  • Mood: Aroused
  • Listening to: My Alien - Simple Plan

  • Drinking: Pepsi
WHEE!

I just got back from watching the new Star Trek movie.

It was just... just... GLEE! >w< :heart:

It was amazing! I didn't think they would be able to match up to the original characters, but fortunately they proved me wrong. Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine were epicness. And the new Chekov, while being very different to his much older counterpart, was just so fuzzy and cuddly that you loved him regardless. D'aw, he saved them from falling. He was so excited too :XD:. And the new Scotty was funny as ever, and Bones was as paranoid, it was great!

And let's not forget the ship. The Enterprise is sexy. I can see what Scotty sees in her. Whoo~

Flash is such a happy Trekkie. I was never much for Voyager or Deep Space Nine (The Next Generation was okay, mainly due to Patrick Stewart's amazing acting) but the Original Series holds its place upon a mighty golden pedastal deep within my heart. I squealed when Nimoy turned up. He's getting on in years but Gawd he's as amazing as ever. It's a shame Shatner wasn't there. I'll miss that crazy man.

And of course, one of my favourite things about Star Trek: The Original Series is Kirk/Spock. It was the first ever slash couple thought up and written for by fans, way back in the 70's. I praise the woman that birthed that brainchild. Kirk and Spock are, as far as I'm concerned, the Adam and, well, Adam of the slash fandom, and I will always love them for that. It certainly helps that Kirk/Spock has got to be, in my personal opinion, one of the sexiest slash couples ever conceived. The stoic vulcan and the womanizing captain. Doesn't get much better than that :iconicameplz:!

I swear, every time Kirk and Spock interacted I just squealed in delight. It was just so...so...gah! Oh gawds I needs me some of that. Grrgh! I think I may need to- ya know what? I'm not finishing that sentence. Those of you whose minds are more sexually inclined can probably guess what I was going to say. In fact, now that i've said that, you can probably all guess. Oh well, so long as I don't actually say it I am safe from the 'tsk tsk, naughty naughty Flashie' finger waggles that would inevitably be sent my way.

Anyway, now I feel ill. Ugh, that's what I get for wolfing down my macdonalds before the movie, rushing up the epically long spiral staircase at 'The Atruim' to get to the cinema while eating my mcflurry and chatting to J, and then not sitting still during the entire movie. Seriously, ask J. When I wasn't kicking the cup holders of the seat in front of me I was chatting to her or bouncing in my chair or wiggling and squealing in delight. And I kept fideting because my left armrest was broken. I don't think it was broken before I turned up... ^^;. Bliddy fook and this is what I'm like when Kirk and Spock aren't even getting along ^^;. Can you not tell how much I love this couple?

Though admittedly all the Uhura/Spock moments annoyed me. Seriousleh, every time they were alone (or not so alone) it was all smoochy smoochy. Gawd, they're worse than the William Shatner version of Kirk was with all his many lovers ¬¬. So yeah, that was a bit of a dampener there.

Anyways, I need sleep now. I'm going to a party tomorrow (:dance:) and then my exams start next week. They're so important and I need to pass them with good grades, so please wish me luck. I have all three Critical Thinking ones (which don't matter anyway) and 2 of my Maths ones next week, then a week off for half term, and then my remaining 5 exams the following week. I'm so anxious ><;. I need to do well in them to be accepted by the uni I want to go to and to continue onto the A2 course (which we start before we get our results after returning from study leave, which I'm on until the 15th of June, despite the fact that my last exam is on the 5th).

Anyways, Love you guys. If you get a chance to watch the movie I certainly recommend it. It's fantastic! :D

My little sister is a cow ;P

1. Are you ready for 50 questions?
I'm ignoring that.

2. Which state/country do you live?
J'habite en Angleterre! :D (damn, swore I'd never speak French again after GCSE. It's an evil language that only horrible teachers teach >< )

3. What is your favorite thing you got for Christmas?
My Sasori plushie of course X3

4. What was the last thing you did in 2008?
Mocked J as she embarassed herself whilst trying to mime out 'Dragon Wars' in charades. I was thoroughly amused.

5. How tall are you?
5"5. Curse my genetics for my pathetically short stature ¬¬. Ah well, at least I'm taller than Charl ;P

6. Are you new on dA? How long have you been a member?
A good couple of years now.

7. Are you male or female?
*actually feels the need to check*
Well...I guess it could just be really small...

8. Which program do you use to chat?
I'm not giving you any of my contact details you rude questionnaire. How very dare you ¬¬.

9. What was the first thing you did this morning?
Emptied my bowels ^^.
Hey, your fault for asking.

10. Do you own a website or forum?
No to website, and only fanfiction.net forums.

11. Is the computer you're using your own computer?
One of two, if you must know ;P

12. What is your favorite type of food?
MEAT.
Namely Cheeseburgers.
DOUBLE Cheeseburgers.
From MacDonalds.
So, you know, they're probably actually comprised entirely of minced bovine rectums and eyeballs. But that's fine by me.

13. How many brothers and sisters do you have?
Just the one clingy little sister. I enjoy engaging it's stalkers in conversation online where I belittle it until it realises it's actually me it's talking to. If it does at all. I would have thought the good grammar was a dead give away. Needless to say, this provides J and I with hours of laughs.

The suckers.

14. Do you have an account on myspace?
No. Myspace can go violate itself. DA and Fanfiction forever FYI!

15. What is your favorite video game or anime character?
What an evil question! I can't choose between them!

16. What is your favorite color?
Khaki.

17. Everyone loves candy, right?
Stupid question, not worth my time answering.

18. Have you ever gotten a gift art from a friend or someone?
Yes, indeed I have. I love you guys ^^.

19. Do you have the Wii?
No. PS3 is way better anyway. I wants me one of those XD

20. (IF YES TO QUESTION 19.) What Wii games do you have?
Again, stupid question.

21. If you could have one wish, what would it be?
That J and I's Garden Centre fantasy would come true (it's a very long winded fantasy, but basically entails the destruction (or at least seperation of us from) the entirity of mankind aside from those we wish to live (with). And then a bunch of other stuff we want to happen that defy the laws of physics e.g. gateways to other worlds, a method by which we are capable of bringing fictional characters to life etc.)

We would rock the cosmos XD

22. How long do you sleep?
As much as I can possibly get at any particular instance. I delay getting out of bed as long as possible. How long I sleep depends both on what time I managed to fall asleep and what time I could put off arising from slumber no longer.

23. What is your favorite part of day?
Late evening. My family doesn't tend to bother me much then.

24. What kind of creature/person is your character?
I have many characters, so i assume you mean how I design myself. I'm a gator girl of course ^^.

25. What is the first letter of your name?
G - real name
F - name everyone but those I attend school with know me as

26. Do you cuss/swear/curse?
Fairly often, but I prefer my own made up expletives. I can feel unique and intelligent using them.

27. Are you happy, excited, angry, or sad at the moment?
Hungry, actually. I am in need of a cornetto. *leaves to swipe an ice cream*

28. What is your favorite video game?
Damn. Umm, the original PSOne spyro games and Pokemon gold/silver. Don't make me choose.

29. Do you think Nintendo is an amazing company?
What a stupid question.
Nintendo rocks my mismatched socks!!! :dance:

30. What is your favorite video game company?
Nintendo, most likely.

31. Do you like doing quizzes?
Not that often. I curse my sister for tagging me.
1000 years of death! (or is that pain Charl? ;P)

32. Do you have a lot of good friends?
Many, and I love them all ^^.

33. What color eyes do you have?
Blue-Grey. So yeah, a dull blue. I don't mind them, I'd be rather dumbfounded to discover that they had changed colour.

34. What is your favorite Pokémon?
Charizard and Croconaw!!!! :heart:

35. Have you ever seen a house on fire?
On television. If I saw one in reality it obviously didn't leave much of a lasting impression.

36. What is your favorite book?
Damn.
Quite likely the Darren Shan saga, Dean Koontz's 'Odd Thomas' books, Philip Pullmans 'His Dark Materials' trilogy, Garth Nix's 'Shades Children', Christopher Paolini's 'Alagaesia' series and John Boyne's 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas'.

That was an evil question. Screw you.

37. Have you ever read a 100 paged book?
You can count to a hundred?
Yes, of course I have you blithering moronic questionnaire (wow, I feel mean). Almost every single book I just listed above (if not every single one) has over one hundred pages. I rarely read a book with less than 300 nowadays, and often far more.

38. Are you a Christian?
Bliddy Fook no way in Frik!
Atheism forever biatch!

39. Who do you like better: Mario or Sonic the hedgehog?
Pfft, screw plumbers.
Gay Hedgie Sex!
Gay Hedgie Sex!
Gay Hedgie Sex!
XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD
:heart:
Does that answer that?

40. Do you like to do smilies?
:shrug:

41. Do you like to be funny?
Who doesn't?
Well, perhaps the pope.
Dictating lies to a religious community requires one without the leanest twig of a funny bone.
Yes, I'm mocking the leader of the Catholic church.
Go preach your bible to someone who cares.

42. What time is it right now in your time zone?
22:39

43. Do you like to draw with a pencil or computer mouse?
Pencil's forever! You can't curb the classics ;P

44. What kind of desktop do you use?
:shrug:
XP?

45. Have you ever beaten a video game?
You bet your socks I have X3.
J hasn't. Ever.
She lies.

46. Do you have an action replay for some system/game?
Not sure. I don't tend to replay my action, I spend time making other amazing ones ;P.

47. What is your favorite holiday?
Present Day!

48. What is your favorite letter?
Of the alphabet? Quite likely F.

49. What is your favorite number?
19 and 7. I also hold a fondness for the number 37.

50. Now tag 3 of your friends!
Don't tell me what to do!
Bitchy quiz ¬¬.

Dragons

Fri Mar 27, 2009, 12:23 AM
  • Mood: Not Impressed
  • Listening to: Placebo - Every Me and Every You
  • Reading: One Door Away From Heaven - Dean Koontz
  • Watching: El Tigre

Well, just the one, actually.

Mum asked me the other week if I'd like to draw a dragon on the wall of the library at my old primary school. I have thursday and friday off school this week (academic review days, I've already had my appointment so I don't have to go in the rest of the week now), and so I figured, well sure, I love dragons, and I'll get about 10 of my community service hours done.

Turns out, the dragon has to be HUGE. Like, cover the entire back wall of the library huge. And I somehow have to avoid getting paint on the bookshelves.

I plotted it out yesterday. I used an overhead projecter and drew a couple designs for the outline on some pieces of laminate, and projected it on the wall. Mum kept nitpicking at my design ('No, it has to look more like Norbert from Harry Potter!' 'I haven't seen the film in bloody ages! I'm drawing the dragon how I want it dammit!';). In the end I chose the second one, the one she hadn't verbally butchered ¬¬. It looks nothing like Norbert, except that it's going to be green. But I'm naming him Norbert anyway. Tough love.

So I spent most of yesterday just plotting it out and deciding a colour scheme. I've never actually had to plot a dragon out before, but I like drawing small, and it was thus a necessary precaution so the dragons proportions didn't end up ridiculous. Then in the afternoon mum and I shopped for paints. And, despite how much paint was at the store, they had none of my colours! Why is every colour of wall emulsion watered down with a hefty quantity of grey? Ugh.

So, after purchasing the dusty colours, we returned and I started painting. The problem with me painting a dragon is that, while I can pencil draw them with amazing detail and patience, I hate paints. Paints hate me. Mutual hate.

So I started to work on his right arm, which was raised and had claws extended. I had to add some detail to it before I could paint it, and then Norbert decided to be uncooperative and made his hand too small. Then the thumb was the right size and the fingers too small. Then the claws were too small. After a half hour of faffing over outlining one hand, I decided that fine, if Norbert wasn't going to cooperate, then I was going to punish him, and so I turned his hand into a fist and painted it, and it looks retarded. He brought it on himself.

...

He knows what he did.

And matt emulsions are horrible to paint with! It's got to be the most annoying media ever! Not only am I bad at painting, have no patience with it and had to keep making areas larger because I went over the lines (give me a break, I had to stand on a table to even be able to reach him comfortably!), but you have to do several layers in emulsion before you can no longer see the wall beneath. So even when I was happy with the colours in an area, I had to keep going over it (and thus mucking it up) because I had to do several coats.

Grr.

And I'm supposed to be finishing the painting today, which I won't. It won't be enough time at any rate, and I'm going to have to keep taking breaks to rest my legs and shoulder (as I have to do this standing up with my arm raised). So I'm going to have to finish it on the weekend. Great.

Ah well, I'll let you all know how it goes and upload a pic of the finished (crappy) product when it's done.

Why couldn't it have just been a giant piece of paper I just had to draw on?!

Love ya guys! Enjoy your day!
