I wasn't trying to hide from internet life - I swear.  It's just this has been my life for that past month or so:
But yeah,  finals have finished.  I'll probably update on everything that happened...probably never.  It seems the holidays are rearing up to be hellish for everyone.  But much love to all.

Here are some Iron Man 2 Sketch icons.  Not a lot but  I had fun coloring some of them.  You can find the rest of the fantastic storyboard sketches here

I'm a little too excited about any Marvel produced this movie right now.  Feel free to nab.  Enjoy!
        

Apparently in the throes of a fever I decide to take after Hemingway.  Later today, I found scribbled on paper notes a bunch of these six word stories.  I have only a faint recollection writing these (and the scary as fuck goo business man monster that I drew also at some point in the night)  I was so ill last night and crazed last, I'm mildly disturbed by my subconscious.

At anyrate, I thought I'd share since some of them are star wars related or just plain amusing.  I figure I wrote these at some point last night, I don't remember a lot.

Six Word Stories

1. Padme found some pills.  No twins!
2. Accursed rain.  Grievous's true enemy: rust.
3. The force heals all.  Except STD's.
4. Obi-wan imposters.  No complex there, Vader.

5. New powers?! Sweet! Where's my girlfriend?
6. Registration?  Please.  What could go wrong?
7. Skrull?  Clone?  Screw it.  Time bullets!

8. Alarm buzzed. PM not AM.  Shit.
9. Azrael digs Jazz.  Just ask Jesus.
10. Please kill my dream.  Damn interview.
11. Whoops.  Work not finished - blame technology!
12. Not taking any applications?  Fuck reincarnation!

I can't read the rest of the scribbles.  I was fucking delusional and I stayed up til like 4 am, so Lord knows what I was thinking.

Or rather when Mando and I decide to mix Marvel comics with star wars.  Best Halloween Party or BEST HALLOWEEN PARTY?!

( I'd like you to meet my dog Joseph...AS IN STALIN )

ANDDDDDDDDD Scene.  It was all sorts of too much, but is completely canon in my head now.  I feel like this could very well happen in Marvel Adventures Avengers to some degree.  At least the Halloween Party.  And the dog, robot dog, cat thing.  FUCK I can't decide if I love Slave Leia Deadpool or Franklin Hirohito more.

Yeah, Last year I was Babs.  Since Sarah nabbed that and Tierney decided to be Catwoman, I'm gonna be Poison Ivy (I actually can't recall the last time I dressed as a character that didn't have my hair color - I'M THAT NARCISSISTIC)

I'm excited, I haven't made a costume in awhile and hers should be fairly simple.  I'll make some changes, but overall it will based on that design.  ALSO Cap!Reborn! is kinda driving me up a fucking wall.  As is Invincible Ironman for so so many reasons.  (At least they have moonily mentioned each other at least once which was like total bonus points for me - there better be a tearful, brohug, angsty as fuck reunion this summer or I will murderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr) *Sigh*  At least I have Fantastic Four Dark Reign right now (which is surprisingly awesome)

I'm actually exhausted today, I feel I may pass out soon.  So much to do tomorrow.  But at least I feel like my summer and next year Fall plans are tangible again.  Positive thoughts!

A/N: Stumbled upon this. It written awhile ago as an excuse for smut. Enjoy

( Enough )

I've been making my way through Dissidia and Arkham Asylum while I'm not engorging myself on books. Dissidia might be one of the most outrageous things I have ever played - simply because Square's selling point was most likely "LOOK WHO WE PUT TOGETHER IN A FIGHT - CAN YOUR MIND HANDLE THAT?!?!?!"

No, no it can't SquareEnix.



( Rusty Reviews: Batman Arkham Asylum )

Well I’ve rambled enough so I’ll leave off on this amazing conversation HQ and I about the Approaching Storm – because we both love it so much.

helenquest: haha. You read "Approaching Storm" right?
rustyredux: oh yes. i have it on my bookshelf right now LOL i'm looking moonily at it as we speak
helenquest: AHAH well I was watching the Luminara ep the other day and got to remembering the book
helenquest: DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN SHE STRIPS NAKED AND RUNS ACROSS FUCKING WILDABEASTS?
rustyredux: KLDGHsohGIDH YES WITH THEIR VERTICAL EYES AND WEIRD PACK LIKE TENDANCIES
helenquest: kjdfnjkenfjke YES
rustyredux: and then obes holds anakin's hand
rustyredux:...and barriss'
helenquest: HAHAHAHAHA
helenquest: but mainly anakin's
rustyredux: lihGAOZ LOL AND THEY GO AND SAVE HER WHEN SHE FALLS oh my god i fucking love that book
helenquest: I DO TOO njhedfeujkytrewasdzxscdqwazx hahahaha LIKE WTF was ADF thinking?
helenquest:I'm going to have a naked Jedi run across pack animals

I think we continued to talk about it for a good hour afterwards.  <3

 

It's been quite some time since I've updated on life in general. What's going on? It seems that my life has been in a tizzy ever since I left work, in desperate need of a vacation after my vacation. There was RA training to be done, meeting people who had already bonded by the time I got there, and I needed to throw myself into ice-breaker mode.

On the plus side - I am quite close with my staff now and I feel like a competent RA. It's fun having people knock on your door constantly with work orders, roommate drama or simple directions to Mellon Hall. Nothing outrageous has happened thus far, but I go on duty for the first time Friday so it will be an event. I'm expecting Resident Evil type quality scariness as I have to creep around the old mansions of the campus around 1 am in the morning.

It's going to be horrifying.

I'm in that "I have a list of things to accomplish" type stress not "I have to finish this project in an hour" type stress. What's on the list?

I have a Shakespeare Club in the works which will hopefully soon have funding from the college (Paperwork and all that jazz done, just letting it grind through the bureaucratic gears so to speak)

I have to work on the Marvel internship resume (and prepare myself for the inevitable rejection)

Finish Sean's production photos (lmao unpublished ewan mcgregor and hugh jackson pics)

Right now I'm at 18 credits and my whole body is screaming to take a 4 credit Japanese course. I need to take a few steps back. It's only my first semester of my Sophomore year, I just fear not being able to take everything I want. I know I'm not going to be able to - but it's seems to be genetic in my family to overload ourselves with more than we can possibly handle.

And there are rumors of going to Africa this Maymester. I'm still praying London is an option but if not I will gladly go abroad to one of the West African countries with my friend Sarah.

Speaking of Africa, the meeting with the ambassadors from Mali and Niger was awesome. Like most experiences in life - when meeting someone of significant importance, it's rather anti-climatic in how unbelievably normal it all is. We chatted about random things. He was happy that I knew Timbuktu was an actual place in Mali (WHO 7TH GRADE FRENCH SPEAKING COUNTRIES PROJECT) Sadly I had to leave early for my sculpture class. Also the ambassador from Niger was in every way awesome like Luminara, she had that silent sort of badassery about her. If she had been green - it could have been her. The lunch also reaffirmed the fact that I am a Jedi.

The Sam Raimi directing the WoW movie thing also kinda wanted to make me slit my throat.  I don't know how to chew on it.

Speaking of things that make me want to slit my throat the Harry Potter movie DIDN'T.  I don't know why there is a lot hate on it right now.  I personally wasn't a huge fan of that book (Was it because I was still holding on for Sirius to come back...maybe)  The movie however  I LOVED.  It very well might be my favorite of the movies.  So here's just some stuff I thought I'd jot down that I liked/disliked.

( Insert Theme Music )

Life has been absolutely hectic as of late because work consumes my life.  Luckily solo_evenstar and the rest of the family have been down so that's the upside.  Plus lots of Venture Bros and Hayden Christensen marathons.  Awake?  Go check it out it was surprisingly amazing.  Jumper - not so much.

Although the one amazing thing that came out of it was the expansive AU we joked about that involved Camerlengo croppin up in Rome, Mace trying to kill Jumpakin, Qui-Gon bustling in around Europe looking for his kidnapped daughter and then the surprise reveal of Edward Cullen as Jumpakin's half-brother in law.

It was cracky mishmash of Star Wars, Jumper, Angels and Demons, Taken and Twilight. But still amazing.

Solo is leaving tomorrow, but she'll be back later in the week before I head up to see her in NY early August, so I'll probs be hanging with her today and maybe we'll finally get around to watching Haven.  Which I keep pushing off because it's a depressing film.

My friend Peter is finally back from Japan!!!!  I will hopefully be hanging out with him before I go on vacation but Lord knows.  (He also brought me a gift which I strongly suspect is MGS related XD)  I also need to start slowly gathering my things and hiding them in my dorm room which my roommate and I busted early into.

This summer is going to slow and too fast all at the same time.

PS flaxenescapee I am sorry for leaving you such a scary Jah Jah message.  But these are the types of things that ensue when I'm with Solo.  Be prepared for New York.

And it is the song in this trailer:



But I also want to see the movie. Tonight I got together with some old acquaintances from high school, Nic, Vince and Erik. I haven't seen them in a year and I planned on seeing Vince at a party last weekend that I ended up not going to due to exhaustion. We didn't hang out a lot outside of school in high school but it's nice to know that we missed each other enough to have a little foreign film get together.

We watched "Let the Right One In," which Coop had nagged me about awhile ago. I'm glad we watched it but I found it terribly sad.  Although our commentary was hilarious - especially the one character we continually referred to as "Fanciest Scarf in the World." I wish I could find a picture of that GQ Motherfucker because it was ridiculous.  I should probably give the book a read, because I've also heard good things about it, but it's now added at the end of my 'neverending summer book list' that just seems to keep growing rather than diminishing.

We spent the night also looking up future foreign film excursions and played boom blox and the goo game.  I missed them dearly, and I'm really happy that we've been able to keep in touch.

I went to the video game concert last Sunday with Cooper, Sarah and Travis in which Cooper and I cemented the fact that we cannot be in public 10 minutes without bickering like an old married couple.  So needless to say the drive into the city was an adventure.  The concert in and of it self was super fun.  They had great little audience interaction things and the music was beyond fantastic.  Plus there was a Snake codec call - I may or may not have tweaked.  Also the Michael Jackson Moonwalker video game tribute was fucking hilarious.  And the blindfolded Mario piano Medley was incredible and the EVERYTHINGGGGGGG GAH.

ALSO THE SURPRISE CHRONO TRIGGER GUITAR DUO NUMBER BLEW MY EVER LOVING MIND.  Many pieces did though that afternoon.  I would totally go see it again - we had so much fun.

I didn't get to go to harry potter last night because EFFING WORK.  But so many shenanigans ensued today that it was kinda worth it. I have no doubts I will be seeing it this weekend.  GAH I HAVE LOTS TO UPDATE ON but I don't have the time.  And I'm tired.

HOSHIT 12 HOURS TIL I PICK UP solo_evenstar from the airport.  Or at least start the drive lmao.  Should get some sleep tonight.  Maybe, probably....won't.

Don't ask me why but I find Threepio arguably one of the most tragic characters in Star Wars.  solo_evenstar  was sending me bits of deleted script scenes and there was one where Threepio PICKS UP PADME'S DYING BODY on Mustafar and it was too much for me.

So I wrote a super sad drabble in honor of it.  Oh Threeps you poor poor droid.

Title: Digital Discretion
Characters: C-3P0, R2-D2
Word Count: 290
Summary: Threepio calculates the pros and cons when Bail orders his memory to be wiped.

Watching ROTS with commentary through G-mail may have been the greatest things to ever happen...ever.   There are not words.  Also sharing ghost stories via G-mail - amazing.

Also I figured out today that Jah Jah's muy muy is yum yum backwards and nearly had an aneurysm at the discovery. GEORGE YOU AND YOUR MADE UP WORDSSSSS

Also tomorrow I'm babysitting my little cousins and I'm super excited because always involves the following: Avatar, Phoenix Wright, Disney Movies, Kingdom Hearts, or Star Wars (If Palmer isn't feeling pissy)  I love them so much.

Lastly some ficcage time.  BECAUSE HOBSON AND DARKWALKER ARE LIKE MY FAVORITE SECRET SHIP.  And when I say secret I mean openly vocal.  Because COME ON Hobs and Janson are common law married at this point and Biggs CREEPS on Luke so much on Tatooine.  Don't believe me?  Watch the deleted scenes in ANH.
 
solo_evenstar  and I imagine Janson and Hobs to basically be Jason and NPH.  It may have been too much How I Met Your Mother, or their amazing Les Mis impromptu singing stint.
Title: Knives Out
Series: Star Wars
Pairings: Wes/Hobbie (Past Biggs/Hobbie and Onesided Biggs/Luke) OH IT GOES THERE
Rating: Very Mild R
Genre: Angst
Word Count: 1,232
Summary:  Anniversaries are supposed to be times of celebration, but Hobbie can't seem to shake away past ghosts.

BECAUSE I FUCKING LOVE YOU CAPSLOCK FRIENDS - twitter tonight has seriously been too much
And mostly because flaxenescapee  was intrigued.

Title: I want to Play with Fire
Pairing: Anakin/Owen
Genre: CRACK ANGST WTF
Summary: Anakin doesn't deal with losing his mom well.  Of course then again, Anakin has a lot of issues.
A/N: I wrote this AGES ago forsolo_evenstar and she gave me the ridiculous parameters of Anakin/Owen hurt comfort which turned out very dark.  I had been listening to a lot of Fire Sexy Dance during the time.  Fuck I'm tired  BUT HERE YOU GO

Finally have a day off tomorrow.  I'm excited but I have a lot of shit I need to work on so I will probably feel I accomplished nothing at the end of it, alas.

Moving on.  Any Final Fantasy fans out there?

I totally forgot about this video until I went through my favs today and I died.  It's epically long but it's worth to stick around until 4:30. www.youtube.com/watch

I'm pretty sure my buddy Coop is gonna come down to Heinz Hall with me to see the Video Games Live concert (dracodea_x and I tweaked all over twitter about it LOL)  It's gonna be great with the Light Show, and Video Footage and ALL THE GODDAMN MUSIC.  I'm super stoked because he is usually up for epic adventures.  We traveled up to NY when MGS4 came out just to meet Kojima.  MAGICALLLL MEMORIESSS.

I need to get my paycheck.  And I need to start saving up for my epic trip to see solo_evenstar.

I also need to start working on that Shakespeare Club for my college.  Whoops.

On an ending note: Isn't this the mooniest fucking thing you've ever seen?  Maybe it's the cloudy pastel background.  Maybe it's since it's in French I assume it's about their undying love.  Seriously what do you think people are supposed to get out of this picture besides they have a hot burning sexual tension brewing between them?  I do not know.
I'm done.  I should have been asleep like 3 hours ago.  Let's see how late I stay up tonight.  I really need to get over this insomnia thing.

I'm a little fucked up right now.

BUt that's okay. AT least I got to see my buddies from High School.  It was a hella good time.

However I have a lot to update on.  Work in the morning fuckkkkkkkkkkkk.  Saw Nate Tuesday fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkk.  Had to pay bills fuckkkkk.

Enough of that AT LEAST TONIGHT I GOT EFFED UP IN MY OBIWAN CW SHIRT!  HOW APPROPRIATE IS THAT?!?!?!  Drunky-wan.

I need to get some sleep.  <3<3<3<3<3

BUT THERE IS A VIDEO GAME CONCERT OF MUSIC FOR THE PITTSBURGH SYMPHONY AT HEINZ HALL THAT IM TOTALLY GOING TO!  YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

ALSO my friend's mom has the best phrase ever.  "Abby you live in a valley of excuses."

I will use this all the time from now on.

Title: No Surprises
Series: Star Wars
Pairings: Bail/Breha; Owen/Beru
Warnings: Angst
Summary:  One-shot.  Being deemed as "barren" is never easy for a woman to bear.
A/N:  Don't know what really inspired this other than the fact that it always bothered me how the Organa's and Lars' never get enough credit, really.  Character study about how they dealt with their infertility and a bit of insight into their marriages.

I made the largest post known to man about me ranting about my life and I got so upset and frustrated even writing about it I couldn't even finish it hahahaha.

So here's the short end of it and also reasons why I haven't been on the interwebs.  I started up two jobs for the summer; one at a pool supplies place where I worked last year and the other at Rita's Italian Ice.  It takes up a lot of my time but I've settled into a schedule now and am making lots of money so that's a plus.

However I've been a hot mess because I met up with my ex-boyfriend recently and well I got all emotionally distraught.  ( LIFE RANT - I made a huge tiny mistake )

Alsosolo_evenstar  left and now I'm depressed because our family funtime has been drastically cut down.  After having her here for a month it's ridiculously depressing to have her gone now.  Who am I going to play star wars legos and speed racer and watch terrible hayden christensen movies and make jah jah voices late at night and pull mary tyler moore marathons and save polar bears and correct star wars trivial pursuit with now?!?!?!?!

There are also other random stress factors going on (like my crazy ass grandmother, the pens losing, OBIWAN GETTING A GIRLFRIEND?!?!?! lol), but I'm done ranting and I'm tired of it.  I do feel slightly better than I did two days ago but meh.

I just - don't know what to do.  And all I do is work.

My father and I watched Wollander which was AMAZING not only because we're huge Kenneth Branagh fantards but also have a soft spot for murder mysteries.

ON THE EWAN FRONT: ( SPOILERS SPOILERS A&D SPOILERS )
Also Philip  Morris has a distributor XDDDDDDDDD but we have to wait til Valentine's Day DDDDDDDDDDDDDD:

I also went to see Star Trek with solo_evenstar and her sister.  There are not words for how high off of life I was after seeing it.  I could go on and on about all the little things that made me happy but it just couldn't cover it.  Everything was so spot on and I just guhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *mind melt*  McCoy is still my favorite - I didn't think I could love him more but I was mistaken.

We also nearly got locked into the Theatre which was hilarious because the thought processes were as such:

Caitlin: Hm, I should set about calling the Police
Me: OMG WE ARE LOCKED IN?!?!?!?! *presses against doors* NO!!!!!!!!!!!
Solo_Evenstar: How much force will i have to use to break this glass door?

And this also led to more affirmation as to why Caitlin is 3P0, I'm Luke and Evenstar will forever be Leia.

Before we saw the movie we also went to Barnes and Nobles and Toys R Us.  I kept heeing and hawing over a Zelda Cartoon DVD which had like two of my fav eps on it which led to this convo:
C: It's only 6 dollars
S: Stop acting like you're not gonna buy it
Me: Well...it is a classic (BEING SUPER DUPER SERIOUS)

My favorite was in the check-out line and the cashier asked me if I wanted a gift recipt to which I replied proudly; "Oh no, this is for me."  Hilarious.

Ugh I don't feel like going to photoshop class but I must.  On the plus side I think my bud Sarah and I are gonna watch Equilibrium which should be fun.
