HAHA BUT NOT ALDO KELRAST FROM MARY WORTH. I just wanted to use that icon.




ENJOY

FINALS ARE OVER

P.S. alakazaz is right, I should clarify: THE GIRLS ARE IN ORDER BUT THE BOYS ARE NOT

alakazaz and I have decided that you should all know who my top 10 girlcrushes are right now... in picture form!



YAY

Thank you for the best holiday eps ever. EVERYBODY WINS THIS YEAR.

I wish there was a Ben Linus video set to this song:

Dear Dorothy Zbornak,

Where would I be without you?



Thank you for being a friend,

me

I love this song so much.



KC and the Sunshine Band are basically my favorite band-whose-hits-I've-heard-a-million-times-but-I-never-knew-the-band's-name-until-very-recently.

Also, I think my tags should have more style. More Pyramid style.

I have so many reasons not to go to school today.

1. Daul Kim died yesterday and I'm still upset. :(
2. It's friggin raining. A LOT.
3a. There are protests at my school and I don't want to get arrested or WHATever
3b. There are protests at my school and I don't want to go out of solidarity.
4. It's way too cold to change out of my pajamas.
5. I think I've got a cold just from the draft in my room last night.
6. I haven't seen last night's 30 Rock.

QED NO SCHOOL TODAY.

Also, I think I heard my roommate get rickroll'd earlier. GOOD TIMES!

okay, carry on

( so he dropped him )

quixotic.

I'm watching The Man Behind the Curtain right now. I'm thinking about tallying up every lie Ben tells ever, except I'm 7 minutes into this episode and I've already lost count. Benjamin, I just can't count that high.

ETA: For the past few weeks I've kind of really wanted to watch Napoleon Dynamite, but I don't think I can anymore. WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN, ROGER WORK MAN

ETA2: Just remembered how singularly disappointed we all were in this episode when it came out. INVISIBLE JACOB? WHAT IS THAT? But now that I can recontextualize it with seasons 4 and, moreso, 5, I can appreciate this episode so much more. It's so important to Ben's character development, which is extremely relevant to my interests, and the whole "Jacob" encounter finally has some meaning now.

Things that sound better than ever at 3 in the morning: Norse mythology fanfiction.

I ship Freyja/Loki! And I think this was partially reinforced by my professor when I went in to discuss paper topics and was all "I think I want to do the Vanir?" of which Freyja is my favorite, and he was all "oh maybe you can compare them to Loki because both are kind of the different ones among the Aesir," and I was like "OTP, sir," and he was like "get out of my office, fangirl."

no some of that didn't happen.

Just kidding.

But per this Q&A session with Damon Lindelof, Frank is totes a main character next season. DOES THAT MEAN PROMO PICS? IT HAD BETTER. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH FRANK LAPIDUS IN MY LIFE.

snap son I have too much to do today. I will do it all during not this coming class, but the class after.

During THIS class, I will simply dream about what it would be like to be on a road trip with Frank Lapidus.

Ahem.

Last night's Monk gave meaning to the last 7 years of my life.

That is all.

I can't even remember, because it feels like it's been a long time since I've taken a psych class that covers this, but dopamine: you know how sometimes you get really really happy and excited and stuff for a while and then after it wears off you feel absolutely dreadful and want to just stop using capital letters altogether while writing free verse about the unrequited loves of your life? Not that this happens to me (much), but is that an effect of the dopamine wearing off, that you kind of plummet, or is it more of an "oh well that was really great oh no what if I was wrong about everything and I'm just TOO aggressive when it comes to board games and also I look so weird when I smile OH NO" thing where in certain cases, you question your own happiness? Is that a side effect of dopamine?

I would just copy and paste that to my old bio psych professor, but I don't think she wants to know about my aggro Yahtzee* skills**.

* it wasn't Yahtzee, for the record, as if you would have called me on that.
** and I KNOW you would have called me on that. Look, I don't have to be that GOOD at a skill for it to be a skill.

There's a big Hurley-shaped hole inside of me, so I'm going to LOST at you, with a warning for some language:



I want to say this was from just after/in the middle of season 3. It's so amazing.

P.S. I recommend going to the higher res version at the actual site and pausing to read everything on the chalkboard and notecards in the back, because awesome.

[EDITED because I just found out we could download the slides online.]

Today in Finnish, we looked at pictures.

Of WEATHER.

And SEASONS.

Okay, guys. I live in San Francisco. I mean, our weather varies enough over the course of a day that it gets bothersome to try and dress for it, yeah. But honestly, with the exception of something like two times a year that it hits the 80s-90s and makes us all cry because we're big babies about it, the temperatures throughout the year are basically from the 50s to the 70s. It has its advantages! I acknowledge this, and love it dearly most of the time. It's quite comfortable, often.

But WEATHER. SEASONS. As we went through the pictures and were supposed to identify what month it could be, I realized that I had no idea. We looked at sun, and I thought it must be fall. We looked at fog, and of COURSE my first thought, honest to goodness y'all, was that it was July. Because that's the way San Francisco is has been will be. Always.



We looked at rain, and I MISSED IT SO MUCH. It's been so long. THEN we looked at snow, and I honestly must have looked like a complete idiot through the whole slideshow; I just kinda went :O and then 8O and 8D and I haven't seen snow for a long time. (And that time, I had to study for AP US History, so I didn't even touch it.)

Here was the picture:



Yeah. Basically gorgeous. Then I got really sad. My bets are on PMS, honestly. Which would explain sitting around last night watching Jafar videos for like a long time.

When I was on the bus this morning, I came up with two things I wanted to blog about. One of them I've already forgotten, and the other one... you're probably gonna hate it. Wow, how excited are you?

Here's the thing. There's LOST and there's FlashForward. Most people don't actually sit around and think about why they're different, because most people are totally not that concerned with the fact that ads were like "THE NEXT LOST." I mean, there was an Oceanic ad in the background, and there are striking structural similarities: heavy serialization, cliffhangers, unanswered questions, deep character subplots. And pretty people. And Sonya Walger and Dominic Monaghan.

It's like crack and sugar. If I were a crack/LOST addict, and I knew my supply was about to run out (NOOOOO), and you handed me sugar without telling me what it was, I would probably start to fill my entire body with it.

It would not fill the same void. But it would be delicious. It would give me something else to love. I would eat it. Yes I would. And after the debilitating LOST crack withdrawal ended, I would be like, "well, this is healthier." Which I would maintain as I continued to gain about six thousand pounds and severe diabetes.

Does anyone know where I'm going with this?

The other thing might have been food-related. I would like pizza. Thanks.
