Well...

Here's my planet stuff. At the bottom of my quiz it said to "insert the code into my livejournal." What the hell does that mean? So I figures I'd just add it to a post.









What Planet Are You From?


this quiz was made by The Autist Formerly Known As Tim

X-Men me is!

Except I dont' steal things actually, so I'm kinda mystified as to how I got him.

nother quiz

yes I am in a quiz mood. Don't worry I'll get over it as soon as the people in my 'friends' page stop putting up such tempting banners linking them within my easy reach.

What is your Alter-Ego
Personality?

infestations

just trapped another spider in a glass & an envelope.

carried him outside and dumped him in the back.

he was bigger than I liked.

thought about smashing him with a book, but if I missed he would have crawled up the side and been near me.

bad thought.

trapped him instead.

hate spiders. too fast, too creepy.

creedless

In honor of Anniesj giving me this neat-o new quiz...





Which flock do you follow?

this quiz was made by alanna

...I'll jump on the anti-Creed bandwagon. And pretend I don't own Human Clay. Because I haven't listened to it in two years anyway and I only bought it for the one song 'Higher'.

Anyway, here's a quote from one of my favorite fanfics EVER:

Super Food World
by Valerie X

"...And don’t even get me started on Creed.” He moved further down the aisle, his eyes still keenly searching. “If those Powers That Be you good guys all believe in had any sense, they’d zap every one of those bleeding Jesus rockers with lightning or what have you. I mean, what kind of god allows a band like Creed to exist? There’s the real big bad for you, Slayer. If good and evil were real, if it could all be nicely packaged and clearly defined like you think, there’d be none of that rot on the radio, and they’d play more System of a Down.” He spotted what he had been looking for and hefted the bottle into his hands.

“System of a what now?” Buffy asked.

Spike glanced over his shoulder with a disgusted expression on his face. “That’s it. I can never sleep with you again.”


I loved the disparaging Creed remarks. And it was a funny passage. I do have to disagree wiht Spike on the System of Down thing though. They're part into the angry-rock/rap-no-talent-no-integrity/self-respect--commercial-made-sell-outs, just like LimpBizkit, Korn, and P.O.D.

Real angry-rockers listen to Rage Against the Machine.

And damn them for breaking up.



On a less whiny note... Valerie updated 'Redeeming Spike's Ass'!!!!

::watery eyes::

::sniffle::

Don't mind me. In fact, just ignore these over-short entries.


I just...I just... I'm catching up on Valerie's fic and reading the end of chapter nine and there's this super-sweet but kinda quiet/soft/happy thing between Buffy & Spike and its making me all mushy because my mp3 player just clicked to the theme 'The Princess Bride'... you know..."my love is like a storybook story" and all that?

...and its SO cute and SO romantic and... it's Spike and Buffy and, and... This horrible. Or wonderful. This show ahs made me a complete sap now and I don't even care!

"Storybook Love"
by Brian Knopfler


Come my love, I'll tell you a tale
Of a boy and girl, and their love story
And how he loved her so much
And all the charms she did possess.

Now this did happen once up-on a time,
When things were not so complex;
And how he worshipped the ground she walked!
And when he looked in her eyes, he became obsessed.

Our love is like a story-book story,
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.
Our love is like a story-book story,
But it's as real as the feelings I feel;
It's as real as the feelings I feel.

This love was stronger than the powers so dark
A prince could have within his keeping.
(His spells to weep and steal her heart
Within her breast but only sleeping.)

My love is like a story-book story,
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.
My love is like a story-book story,
But it's as real as the feelings I feel;
It's as real as the feelings I feel.

He said, "Don't you know I love you oh so much?
I lay my heart at the foot of your dress."
She said, "Don't you know that storybook love
Always happens at the ending?"

Then he swept her up just like in the books
And on his stallion they rode away.

My love is like a story-book story,
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.
My love is like a story-book story,
But it's as real as the feelings I feel;
It's as real as the feelings I feel.


I hit the romantic sweet scene right when the song hit "And how he worshipped the ground she walked! / And when he looked in her eyes, he became obsessed."

Am I not the sappiest person alive right now? I just can't stop smiling...

Rancid - 'Who Would've Thought'

Who would've thought that the dreams come true?
And who would've thought I ended up with you?
And who would've thought what they said was true?
But it was and you are, lighted darkness come through

Silhouetted palm trees backing it up against the sky
Echo Park sunset, an ambulance drives by
But someone went down
And I wonder who
Faces flash forward, it could be anybody I knew

So I drank like a fish and I crawled like a rat
Through the city of shit I ended up on my back
But I can't believe you're with me after dark
So let it come together in Echo Park

And I say
Who would've thought that the dreams come true?
And who would've thought I ended up with you?
And who would've thought what they said was true?
But it was and you are, lighted darkness come through

A red flag and your body wins
Or a snake bite, gotta start again
So I'm fucked up and watching TV all day
I don't wanna see what Ricki Lake gotta say

And it hits me when I'm alone, I'm an angry man
I start singing to myself I got dealt a shitty hand
With all these feelings my heart could explode
So is it not fear, knowing it all

And I say
Who would've thought that the dreams come true?
And who would've thought I ended up with you?
And who would've thought what they said was true?
It was and you are, lighted darkness come through

Nah nah nah nah nah

Who would've thought that the dreams come true?
And who would've thought I ended up with you?
And who would've thought what they said was true?
But it was and you are, lighted darkness come through

friggin' all idiots

Watching parts of the movie the Mahattan Project.

This kid. is. a. fucking. idiot.


It's an example of extreme brilliance and staggering stupidy co-existing in the same brain-space.

So this kid. Steals plutonium from a secret lab this guy he knows works at, and builds a home-made atomic bomb.

A WORKING home-made atomic bomb.

For a science fair.

I can't believe a person--even a sixteen year old--- could be that lacking in common sense.

I understand the allure of building it jsut because you, to show you are the best, and to prove the point that its dangerous because anybody can do it.

So he steals the plutonium. Fine. So he builds the bomb. Fine.

But for god's sake, why the fucking hell didn't he build in a flaw?

There must be THOUSANDS of ways in the building process in which you can make a dud bomb, especially in a process so delicate and complex as building a nuke. If he wanted everyone to know he could build a working one, why couldn't he have built it with an internal flaw that would prevent it from ever exploding, yet it be flawed in such a way that the people who examined it would know the flaw was intentional, not error.

Wouldn't that still prove a point?

I mean, what IDIOT builds a nuculear bomb for fun and actually makes it ACTIVE?

idiocy

This entry has rantish tones. But fucking good ones.

This movie (Manhattan Project) is also a good example of why putting guns in airplane cockpits is .A. .Bad. .Idea.!

People behave weirdly when they are given options of performing extreme violence that they normally wouldn't have. When you hold a gun you are, by definition, infinite number of times more likely kill someone by shooting than when you are not holding a gun. Why? Because beofre you didn't have one, and there was NO chance of shooting anyone. By aquiring a gun you suddenly have two choices: Kill, or don't kill? And two choices where there once was one is a 100% increase.

When people have guns--OR ARMED NUCLEAR WEAPONS--- they act DIFFERENTLY. They entertain ideas they'd never have even imagined before, and they behave in ways that, if asked when not in that situation, they would believe they'd never have even considered doing.

So why, on great mother earth, would anyone think putting handguns in jet airplanes is a smart thing to do? Pilots aren't cops; they're PILOTS. And now, instead of there being NO chance of anyone being shot, there's suddenly a chance that as much as nine people might get shot. More if you have extra clips.

If a hijacker has a knife, four people can jump him and maybe two will die. But not a third of a second later the hijacker will out for the count. If a hijacker has a gun, no one can get close enough to touch him.

And how would a hijacker manage to sneak a gun past all this hyped up security?

Why, he wouldn't have to! There's one waitng for him in the cockpit! He gets in there, and suddenly he's got the only firearm on the vessel. Cause we fucking idiots (the americans & gov't) put it there for him.


...ok... Now, let's play this scenario out a little more. There are short-range guns that can be made in which the bullets shatter on impact, thus making hull breach and explosive decompression (VERY BAD THING) not an issue. And there are guns that can be made that recognize the crease of your hand, like a thumbprint, so only you can fire it. And there are even guns that can be made that detect your pulse before firing, so someone else can't push down your hand to fire when you're dead or K.O.ed. Therefore, they CAN build guns that only a living pilot and no one else can use. Seems good, right? Wrong. YOu're not taking into account the human factor: the pilot.

Now, lets say they re-inforce the doors (good idea) so the hijackers are trapped with the passengers as hostages, but no gun, and the pilot & co-pilot are still safe locked in the cockpit, and thus the plane is still safe. However, outside the reinforced doors, the hijackers begin killing hostages until the cockpit is opened.

Inside the pilot (let's make him male and call him Frank--haha, just saw Donnie Darko), inside the cockpit our good, nice american family guy Frank is looking at the gun in his hands and thnking about the screams of the people dying outside the door. He's thinking, "I have a gun. I can stop this. More people don't have to die."

Frank opens the cockpit door. Frank is killed instantly by a knife in the throat. The hijackers have access to the controls. The co-pilot is killed swiflty too, either by Frank's gun or by the same knife, or even by a snapped neck.

Now, the gun was useless. And because Frank had the option of using a gun, the reinforced doors are useless too, because he opened them up anyway. The hijakcers have the plane.

For 300 people on board and thousands below, the world goes to hell.

That, or the plane is shot down in a field. Nobody on the ground dies, but the hundreds stil alive on board do.

And what would have happened if the same situation ahd occured and Frank had not had a gun?

The cockpit doors would never have been opened. The pilots would have stayed in control, and landed the plane safely and immiediately. A dozen hostages would have died, instead of hundreds or thousands.

That's why there shouldn't be any fucking guns on commercial airliners.

indie quiz

You know... this isn't really correct. This says I'm outside cool because I'm an elistist. I'm not. I'm just outside cool cause I don't give a shit, and thus am not cool. The bitch thing is still present though, so I can see how they could think so. Common misconception.



i am an indie snob!




How indie are you? test by ridethefader

You're just too cool for school, aren't you? You're pretty narrow minded
and opinionated with regards to music (and probably most other things
as well). But you're allowed to be, because you really are better
than everyone else. You take pride in obscurity.
You probably prefer vinyl too, you elitist bitch.
