Croak

I am sick.

Well, ill.

Flu has struck me again. But I won't let it overpower me... at least, not until Saturday.
I really, REALLY need to be healthy on Friday.

So yeah. I'm here, my head wants to spin but my body won't allow it. I have butterflies in my stomach and they've been here since... well, since LAST MONTH. They won't go away... they won't! ;_;

But it's all good.

As of now I want nothing more than to burrow my way into my blankets, and then croak and die. But I won't do that as of yet.

I want to do a lot of things, but this horrible feeling just won't let up! Damn it!

I did watch the Extended DVDs of LoTR: The Two Towers. Awesome stuff. My head kept lolling back and forth though. And I had to kick the blanket away, then cover myself with it again. Horrible. Too warm to stay in, too cold to stay out. I hate it when that happens.

And that is really it.

I would write all about last Saturday, when I went to the Sci-Fi Con... but I'll save that for later... when my head's a bit more normal.

I'm still bored

I'm still bored. I've got loads of things I must do, but I'm still bored. It's the worst kind of bored. Loads of stuff to finish, but I don't feel like finishing them.

I realized last night that I still had a fair amount of unhealthy anger left in me. If this anger were money, Bill Gates would weep in envy. But no, that's probably too much. Oprah then. Oprah would be envious.

Point is, I've got anger issues. At times, the rage bubbles to the surface in a flash. It nearly topples me over. And then it disappears. Well, it doesn't really disappear... it just goes away, somewhere else.

Perhaps I should put the anger to better use.

School. School.

I do NOT want to go. At least not yet. Where did my vacation go? It's a bit amusing/funny/ironic. I couldn't wait for my summer vacation to start, and when it started, I found myself sitting bored - wondering when it would end. Now I'm desperately clutching on. Hoping that somehow the hours shall be slow in their passing.

I'm tempted to insert a Gandalf quote in here. But I won't. Instead I shall go back to highlighting the important passages.

All of the things that relate to Aragorn are highlighted in green. It's helpful reference for the church.
Others are in purple.
The Sam/Frodo things are highlighted in orange. I couldn't resist.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to do is decide what to do with the time that is given to us.
- Gandalf

So I lied. Sue me.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken...

A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

Hail Elessar!

But sadly, even though the title is a line from The Riddle of Strider, I use it not to refer to him. I'm actually thinking of the impending responsibilities and various other duties that I have to face.

I quake in anticipation of the heavy workload that is about to be dumped on me. May the pouring be gentle.

But on a different, happier note - I dreamed of MonaBoyd last night!!! YAY!
I dreamed I hugged them. Both!! A MonaBoyd hug! The elation and the actual, indescribable emotion that coursed through my veins when I hugged them still lingers. I smile.

And I've decided to resurrect an old tradition from when I started blogging. A quote, I shall end with one.
I guess this is only fair because I've stopped using the "Date & Mood" header.

I know I should forget, but I can't.

We're Building A Bridge...

...but we don't have any river.

Dylan Moran, ladies and gentlemen. I love that guy.

Anyway, I've been going through my logs, and I saw that I've casually mentioned The Church of Aragorn a few times. But I've never really gone in depth or anything. Not even a link! Shame.

So here it is.

The Church of Aragorn. Dare I say, The *First* Church of Aragorn?

View and JOIN! Although I haven't actually put up a mailing list yet... I'll get to it.

Panic Mode

I have school next week. So I'm cleaning my room.
I don't think I'm ready yet. Gah! Now I feel as though I'm gasping for air before the great plunge. (Thankee Gandalf.)

I made a church for Aragorn. Have I mentioned that before?

Oh, and I am now a level 34 human vampire scholar on AdventureQuest. Quite addictive, I must say.

Now back to work!

A Rough Outline of Things

So I noticed that I've been filled with a lot of anger recently. It does sometimes switch back and forth from anger to a more depressed state. But anyway, due to a little prompting from my mother, I thought I'd make this list. Mostly because the amount of anger coursing through my system right now is unhealthy. Scarily unhealthy.

No particular order. I'll only elaborate or state specifics when and if I feel like it.

  26. Dark, morbid, Gothic literature
  27. Dark, morbid, angsty, Gothic music
  28. Guitar solos that scream out my angst (Listen to 'Even in Death' by Evanescence, and you'll see what I mean.)
  29. Yaoi. 'Nuff said.
  30. Anime/Comic cons
  31. Brangelina
  32. Imagination and daydreams
  33. Iced Coffee
  34. Green, and Black, and Purple, and Silver, and Red

Things I HATE and would like to burn

Because "I don't have pet peeves, I have major psychotic fucking hatreds.
"
  1. Chain letters
  2. Religion
  3. Paris Hilton (although her recent response to the old man's ad has upped my respect a bit. She now stands above dung.)

  18. The color pink (I'm willing to accept pink Cherry Blossoms, and strawberry in milk)
  19. Unnervingly happy, chirpy people

  21. Bullies (funny how they all fall the same way when you kick them in the nuts)
  22. Spammers
  23. Spam
  24. Fox news

  29. Religious hypocrites (aren't they all though...)
  30. Evangelicals
  31. Suckers of positive energy
That's all I can come up with right now. To write down the entire list right here and now would be too inconceivable. Let's leave some for later.

To Forsake

I hereby announce that I am officially forsaking a part of my childhood.

This part of my childhood is none other than Harry Potter.
I forsake it because I just finished reading The Lord of The Rings. Truly, an epic masterpiece.

I care for Potter no longer. I do not compare it to The Lord of The Rings, as many others before me have done. No. I merely discovered that after reading the glorious, fantastic, magnificent tome that is LoTR, I find no more space in my heart for the boy wizard. Am I saddened? No, not really.

Also, the producers of the LoTR movies obviously puts in more care and devotion.

May it be mentioned here that I am proud that I finished reading all the books in 3 days. One for each.

Also, for the record. I no longer fancy Legolas. I pledge allegiance to Aragorn son of Arathorn, Elendil's heir of Gondor. Elessar.

That is all.
