Kill me while I'm sane movie a.k.a. The Grudge 2
And guess what was she watching? The Grudge 2.
So, let's start from the beginning.
Today I went to the movies along with a few people from my course to watch The Grudge 2 (not that I ever watched The Grudge, but whatever). Now, the first thing that ticked me off was the amount of pokemon (youngsters, kiddies, your pick) gathered to watch it. The movie was rated for age 14 and up. Yet I would've sworn there were some younger than that. Seriously, - WTF? It gave me the impression that the ten of us were the oldest people watching it.
Second was the goddamn noise all through the movie. The chatter never ceased, the idiot kiddies were screaming almost every 30 seconds, and they were clapping every time someone got killed. CLAPPING!!! WTF??? Was it a goddamn concert or something? >.> I so wanted to throw something heavy at them. Either that, or ask Bakura to banish them all to shadows. That would've served them damn right, those little bastards.
Now onto the movie itself.
Half of the movie I tried to not fall asleep and ended up filing my nails to stay awake. The other half I spent in a state that could be described as "Just fucking die already and let me sleep!" The result - I have perfect manicure now (and am still a bit sleepy). Honestly. Is that supposed to be a scary movie? Sheesh.
When the rest of the audience screamed in fear, I was either laughing my ass off or yawning. Come on! It was not frightening at all. Boring - yes. One hell of a boring piece if you ask me. And I sure as heck am not getting any nightmares out of it. If the bastard screaming kiddies would have been quiet, I would have taken a damn good nap while the rest of my course was either watching the damn thing or hiding behind their backpacks.
Honestly. Am I the only one not being affected and who does not freak out watchin crap like this? It sure damn feels that way. In any case, you might "like" the movie if you're easily scared and freak out upon every little thing, but if you have nerves of steel then, for the love of your sanity, - better go watch some sappy romance/drama/tragedy/heroic crap. At least you won't feel like it was a wasted money.
May your day treat you fair!
P.s. Oh, and the mood icon is lying. I'm bored, but they don't have such icon, so I picked the closest one.

The day when all your dreams die... And I want to, too.
"Especially the Poem
I believe whatever God has in store for us will be for us.
The poem is very true, unfortunately.
Make sure you read the poem!
CASE 1: Kelly Sedey had one wish,
for her boyfriend of three years,
David Marsden, to propose to her.
Then one day when she was out
to lunch David proposed!
She accepted, but then had to leave
because she had a meeting in 20 min.
When she got to her office,
she noticed on her computer she had some e-mail's.
She checked it, the usual stuff
from her friends, but then she saw one
that she had never gotten before.
It was this poem. She simply deleted it
without even reading all of it.
BIG MISTAKE! Later that evening,
she received a phone call from the police
It was about DAVID! He had been in an accident with an 18 wheeler. He didn't survive!
CASE 2: Take Katie Robinson She received this poem
and being the believer that she was
she sent it to a few of her friends but
didn't have enough e-mail addresses to send out
the full 10 that you must.
Three days later, Katie went to a masquerade ball.
Later that night when she left to get to her car,
she was killed in that spot by a hit-and-run drunk driver.
CASE 3: Richard S. Willis sent this poem out
within 45 minutes of reading it.
Not even 4 hours later walking along the street
to his new job interview with a really big company,
when he ran into Cynthia Bell,
his secret love for 5 years. Cynthia came up to him
and told him of her passionate crush on him
that she had had for 2 years.
Three days later, he proposed to her and they got married.
Cynthia and Richard are still married
with three children, happy as ever!
This is the poem:
Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim
Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.
Don't be afraid to express yourself.
Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you
Because when you decide that it is the right time it might be too late.
Seize the day. Never have regrets.
And most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have helped make you the person that you are today.
You must send this on in 3 hours after reading! the letter
to 10 other people.
If you do this, you will receive unbelievably good luck in love.
The person that you are most attracted to will soon return to you.
If you do not, bad luck will rear its ugly head at you .
THIS IS NOT A JOKE!
You have read the warnings, seen the cases,
and the consequences.
You MUST send this on or face dreadfully bad luck.
*NOTE*
the more people that you send this to, the better
luck you will have.
SMILE, even through your tears!!! "
Now, am I the only one who thinks this is a load of bullshit?
And if any of the stories are true, then I just won Grammy Awards, so bow down for me you foolish mortals!!!!!!!!!!!
-_-"
Honestly, a piece of crap like this cannot bring you good or bad luck. It's a karma and negative thinking thing.
Now, you see, I can feel that many people have forwarded this, being afraid of dying or whatever else this shit suggests will happen to you. And yes, I'm not kidding, I CAN feel the negative vibes of this letter. Call me a psychic of sorts, if you will. But I do. And the vibes attached to this letter won't get to me and I won't pass bad luck on around, because that's what you, people, are doing by sending out this stuff. So STOP!!!! By forwarding, you just continue the negative line and the last person to receive this won't feel very happy whether he forwards this shit or not.
STOP GIVING OUT NEGATIVE SPIRITUAL INFORMATION GODDAMIT!!!!
You're just fucking up your own karma that way. Not to mention anyone else's who is unfortunate enough to receive or read it. And I assure you -- you won't die if you choose to ignore a chain letter like this. You won't get hit by a car, train or skater. Nor will you crash.
Why? Because I'm still alive. If you remember, there was a shit about little ghost girl that haunts you, slits your wrists, throat et cetera -- in other words: kills you if you don't forwards some lame-ass chain letter. I didn't. And HA!!! I'm still alive and I haven't seen the likes of the ghost either.
Point one why the ghost is unlikely to be seen in your bedroom is that they are attached to one place, the place they died or had some other bad life experience otherwise known as "unfinished business." They cannot leave the place. Ghosts don't think, they're just mirror reflections of the spiritual world in our world. But you probably don't give a shit about this so I'll shut up now and stop fucking up my own and your karma.
May your day treat you fair!

And she ate it!!!!!
To make the matters worse, I've got a goddamn writer's block. One night the inspiration struck me and I wrote "Shadows Of the Other Kind", but that's all. It was my muse saying her goodbyes. Now, just like Riles, I need a new muse. I know what could serve as, but, alas, there's no such thing. >.> At least not yet. But when it will be, I will most likely no longer need it.
The life's still beautiful, don't you think? *sarcasm*
The revising and writing both have been put on posting pending, and I have no idea when (if ever) will I finish part three of "Half Of Your Heart".
I just realised that many of you might have no idea what I'm talking about here, because not many visit my ff.net account [ http://www.fanfiction.net/u/894664/ ] where I have my other fics. This account [ http://www.quizilla.com/users/Mandolina/ ] will be kept for TGF only; so I have decided. Yet in reality I have no idea as to when I'll remove the other fics. Perhaps, never. Oh, and if you DO visit my ff.net account, leave a goddamn review because barely no one ever bothers to. Thank you.
Now with all that said and done, I think I'll go on a vacation for a while to hunt down my muse.
May your day treat you fair.

Stuff for sale. EMERGENCY!!!!!
Why am I doing this, you'll ask? I need my sanity during the time of exams and I cannot keep it otherwise than by renting them out. Temporarily.
So.
Amelda (also known as Alister or the redhead who could pass for a girl) - starting price: cheese and tomato sandwich and 0.5L bottle of Sprite thrice a day for every day you keep him (it's a rent, remember? And I'll want him back in one piece and as sane as he is at the moment, plus this is a decent price, don't you think?)
Seto Kaiba (a.k.a. the CEO) - starting price: a new sleeping bag. (Because the old one got lost somewhere along the way. Money back guarantee!!! - Upon returning this man you'll get the money for the sleeping bag back) Just think about this - I'm giving him away for free. Literally. We all know he's worth more what with his kid brother and company, and... ahem. OFF TOPIC!!
Valon (Varon, the Australian brunette, the guy with a yellow bike etc. DOMA arc, anyone?) - starting price: You can keep him permanently. I won't even ask payment.
Dartz (the one who leads the DOMA parade, the one in a purple gay suit and with weirdo teal hair) - starting price: an empty bottle of shampoo (NO MORE SOAP!!!!) or a sheet of wrapping paper. Plain, brown, no frills, spots, dots or whatsoever. Just get him out of the house!!!
Anyone interested, please, call 13-779-BITE-ME!!! or state your name, occupation and official income in the list below this post. The prices can be still debated, but if you delay it, they will rise inevitably.
Don't put this off for the last minute.
This isn't a last minute decision.
May your day treat you all fair!

Make that double...
In the meantime, however, there are some things I'd like to rent out. All prices can be lowered, because I need peace and quiet now, and my SANITY!!!!!!! Thank you very much.

Riley, I need your coffin...
Yeah, well, it's not MY fault.
*angry mumble*
Like I care. *looks up* Hey, what are you doing here? Dartz, how comes we have intruders and no one noticed?
~Dartz~ O.o RILEY!!! You *points* stay there and don't move! I've got something for you. *runs off like a frantic old lady*
WTF? DARTZ? Nevermind, I'll handle this myself. -_-"" Weirdo freak. *mutters while loading up laser guns and fetching garlic essence* Stupid vampires. DIE!!!!
Yeah, watched Blade last night. So what? That still didn't change the fact that I have loads of homework. And stupid Politics of all the dratted lessons at that. And a goddamn migraine as an addition. No chance of writing yaoi one-shots not to mention one-shot three-part... shots... fics... whateverthefuck. Or do some proper beta-reading. Well, I /have/ done it (on printed out pages), but I cannot gather myself to do it on the computer as well. I. just. can't. I bet Kaiba's done something weird to this computer. Or Amelda. Or yours truly during some stupidity attack, but that's beside the point.
All my works are either posting pending or default delay. Or both.
May your day treat you fair! (and never rent out a room to Amelda and Kaiba. Believe me, it'll be less problems for you. -_-"")

Dartz ate it... and I'm not joking!
Anyway, I have to apologise to those whose works I am supposed to be beta-reading. I'm stealing the time from doing my homeworks to correct them, but, please, be patient! It's going like one page a day so it'll take a while. But the work is in progress! I don't know when's the next time when I'll get computer access (I hope it's Saturday or Sunday) therefore I cannot guarantee that you'll get your work back within this week, but I'll try.
As for my own updates - part 44 is in progress and already half-written, and the draft is already saved on the computer. What matters the rewriting stuff, it might take even more time than I previously thought since this is the blasted graduation year and I have to make real good in my exams, and then comes getting in a college or some highschool, which basically means even more work for me. (YAY *sarcasm*). So you see my problems. If I hadn't gotten ill, I wouldn't have so many things to catch up to, but alas, I did. Which irks me beyond belief.
My apologies once again, and may your day still treat you fair (even if mine doesn't)!

WAH!!! When am I going to make all of this? O.o
Plus, I feel like writing another part of my story. *sigh* MUST.WRITE.HISTORY!!!!! CANNOT.KEEP.AWAY.FROM.GETTING.IDEAS.FOR.PART.34. *whacks self* WRITE HISTORY!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!

Soo bored...
My mom's listening to some weird songs, which I do not approve of and they keep on annoying me like my granny and her "Eat onions! They're healthy!" Yeah, right! >.< Like, I bet they are... *snort*
Just learned that 'evil' is 'live' spelled backwards. Never would've noticed if I wouldn't be in such a mood as I am now. *smirk* Stuff happens.
*sigh*
Should get back to writing but the chances are - this 'wonder of technique' will resume 'You just keep me hanging on...' on me.
