The Voices in my Head [09 Jul 2009|05:47pm]
Only the fact that I know they're not real keeps me sane. :D

Anyway, I've been reading an absolute tonne of ST fics, mostly XI because that's the market these days. Which I'm okay with. But I'm also watching the old movies simultaneously, so the character voices in my head when I read the fics are...confused.

Like, when I read nu!Kirk, I imagine Pine's voice, all the time. I guess because his Kirk is different enough from Shatner's Kirk--what they'd say, I mean--that their voices don't get mixed up. But when I read Spock, I almost always hear Nimoy's voice, even when I'm reading XI fic. Which means I have to keep reminding myself that it IS nu!Spock and not Nimoy!Spock. It's a testament to how well the writers of XI have the TOS characters down, but still kind of annoying. It's also annoying because I LIKE Quinto's Spock voice. It just...isn't in my head. *sigh*

Also? The audio book of XI is read by Quinto. *swoon* I really want it now, even though I totally didn't like the book and am planning to return it to B&N.

Buffy Meme! [01 Apr 2009|11:45pm]
When you see this, post another Buffy quote in your LJ. Let's see how long this can go on.

Spike: You listen to me. I've been alive a bit longer than you, and dead a lot longer than that. I've seen things you couldn't imagine, and done things I prefer you didn't. I don't exactly have a reputation for being a thinker. I follow my blood, which doesn't exactly rush in the direction of my brain. So I make a lot of mistakes, a lot of wrong bloody calls. A hundred plus years, and there's only one thing I've ever been sure of: you. Hey, look at me. I'm not asking you for anything. When I say, "I love you," it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman. You're the one, Buffy.

Buffy: I don't want to be the one.

Spike: I don't want to be this good-looking and athletic. We all have our crosses to bear.

DRIFT, by Jeremy Schonfeld [25 Mar 2009|08:32pm]
I just have to post about this again because I've been listening to it obsessively on youtube (and also Pity the Child, I have three versions bookmarked, I know, I'm pathetic). Adam is awesome as always, and the other guys are pretty good too.

In no particular order, because I don't know the right order and am too lazy to find out:

Dr Schneider, Adam Pascal, Terence Mann, Jarrod Emick, Adam Kantor, Kris Coleman (THIS IS HILARIOUS! IT ROCKS XD )
Gone, Adam Pascal
Cornerstone, Adam Kantor
Helluva Guy/Same Boy Now, Terrence Mann, Jarrod Emick, Adam Pascal
Tuesday and Thursday, Adam Pascal


Also, my school is performing Chicago. :D Cool.

A Poem for Goldilocks [14 Feb 2009|09:23pm]
A Poem for Goldilocks

I am a monster.
I know it.
My hands are blood-bathed—
Out, out, damn spot!
I could scream it a thousand thousand times.
I am more damned than the Lady Macbeth ever was.
If I had a soul it would be red from blood and black from death.
But nonetheless I try.
I have never been like others of my kind:
I feel;
I love.
And for you, my beloved, I try.
A century of habit is difficult to break,
but break it I shall,
for you.
If you could look past the punk-clothes—
black to hide the stains of blood no longer human, these days—
If you could look past the sins of my past I now only regret for you—
If you could look past sulfur-eyes and fangs—
I may be soulless but I am no thing.
I may be soulless but I feel,
I love,
not wisely, but too well.
If you could treat me like a man, well, that’s—






Cyber cookies if you can figure out whose POV this is written from!

Poem: The Wall [14 Feb 2009|09:21pm]
The Wall

The Berlin Wall was built not to keep people out, but to keep people in. It was a beaver’s dam in a human river trickling and pouring into West Berlin. And the Nazi beavers shored up their barbed wire and chain-link with concrete and watch towers and guns until it stopped being a dam and suddenly turned into a Wall, semi-permeable like a cell, little protein guards carefully checking each molecule for correct papers before letting it pass through. And then the Wall closed: impermeable grey concrete monolith with its foamy barbed-wire froth top, each tower a black martini umbrella rising above. And it penned the East Berlinners like cattle, and if the cattle got too close they were shot, gunned down from on-high, and left to twitch and moan in the no-man’s no-thing’s land before it. Only a few made it over the Wall; the others escaped over water or under land, by ship or by tunnel, or tucked into small awkward dark places in cars. And then the Wall fell: not so much fell as was ripped apart, trampled down by the very cattle it had sought to pen, and some took chunks home, each little cow’s symbol of freedom. Now it stands tall silent defeated in museums, to look at, to stare at, to wonder at, a cautionary tale.

RENT! [26 Jan 2009|06:24pm]
I'M GOING TO SEE RENT!!!!!!

That deserves better.

OMG I'M GOING TO SEE RENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm getting home on March 13 and Rent is touring at a theatre about 2 hours from there until the 15th, so we're going on the 14th. I'm so amazingly excited! This is so awesome! This beats even Wicked because I've loved Rent for longer (no offense, Wicked, you were seriously, well, wicked, and totally worth the $90 seats). I can't believe this. And guess what guess what guess what? Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal are reprising their roles as Mark and Roger! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! *dies of teh excitement*

I don't actually remember if I posted about Wicked after I saw it; I don't think I did, which is horrible of me. Wicked was...an experience. I loved it, loved it loved it loved it. When they were playing the overture and the dragon was moving and spewing smoke with its devil-red eyes glowing...I could barely breathe. And Defying Gravity? OMG SOOOOO much better on stage than just listening to it, and that's nearly unbelievable because the song is so powerful on its own, but true. With Elphaba 'flying' over the stage, lit as she was, belting out those notes... *swoon* And Galinda...oh, god, she made me LAUGH. "It's GUH-linda, with a GUUUH." Just, overall, that show was fantastic. If I could see it again, I would. (Like the Lion King musical; I want to see that again too. And this little two-man one-woman play I saw in London called 39 Steps, which was a comedic masterpiece.)

*sigh*

Oh, March, why won't you get here already?

<a href="http://whedonesque.com/comments/13271">This.</a>

Go read.

I have to admit, I've lived in a very safe society.  I've been sheltered.  My hometown was small and rich, true, but not mysoginistic.  I'm going to an all-women's college that pushes female empowerment.  This kinda stuff--it's all theoretical to me.  I don't have any first-hand experience with sexism or mysoginy.  (Well, there was this one time I was walking in a tank top and shorts--deep neckline and pretty short shorts, hey, it's CA--and some men driving by whistled at me, but that's really it.)  

But I know it's out there; I know it's real.  It makes my heart ache.

I admit it: I'm too afraid to click the link Joss gave to the video. I don't want to watch it.  I don't want to have that ugliness in my head; there's enough there already from other things I've seen and read. 

So go read.  I think...I think it's necessary.

National Novel Writing Month [21 Oct 2008|08:28pm]
That's right! It's that time of the year again! When all would-be novelists sit down at their computers, or typewriters, or notebooks, and try to hammer out 50,000 words in 30 days. :D

Here are the three buttons for participants that I like that you can find at the official site:

I've made some general NaNo banners.
