random things

1) did anyone else actually love all three of the POTC movies? I mean, I'll admit the second one drags and the third one is ridiculously convoluted, but I love the ridiculous convolutedness, and the way the stories turn out, even though Norrington's problems all stemmed solely from the fact that the writers decided to screw him over. I just. Really love the canon.

2) apartment searching is the pits and we are going to be homeless and broke and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

3) I BEAT THE DWARVES, HELL YEAH, LOOK AT ME AND MY BADASS BROODMOTHER-KILLING SELF, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ~~why doesn't alistair love me yet~~ OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

also like, dude, I played through the female city elf opening just for kicks, and dude, I was actually furious. Like, yelling at my computer screen, wanting to punch a pillow angry. So well-done, but ARGH.

also I love the fact that as an elf you can hate on humans all day long in the dialogue options. No human-curious Dalish elf for me! I KILLED AN ARL'S SON, BITCH.

(quark: and you were telling me about all the terrible things he's doing and I was like, oh God, I think--I think I freed him.)

4) why are custom mood themes so much effort. I don't waaaaaaaanna get a photobucket. That being said, my new layout/theme pleases me greatly. I just want to play "Part of Your World" on repeat and ~~cry~~ contemplate things.

5) All of the movies on TCM today are about, like, unrequited love and the crazy things women will do to overcome it. Thanks, TCM. Thanks a lot.

anyway, back to gathering up the nerve to call people. w-wish me luck?

Alistair doesn't love you yet? What, did you insult his mother or something? He's usually all over me by that point. 0_o Also, yay, I love killing broodmothers :D.

All my evil characters have been elves. Just...because it's so easy to be an evil elf. The game practically asks you to pick the mean and spiteful choices. Like introducing yourself to the King of Ferelden by saying that "I killed the Arl's son for raping my friend." I mean, GOD, how awesome.

Have I mentioned how much that I love the fact that you are playing DAO? No? Well, it won't hurt you to hear it again. :D

I DIDN'T KNOW OKAY all I knew was that he was obviously an important NPC because of his voice acting, but he didn't actually do anything that bad! I mean, he was in Howe's prison and that alone made Lin like him, and then I think the worst thing he did was call Zevran, like, razor-ears or something, and I needed his support in the Landsmeet and I DIDN'T KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

well I mean he is all up on me but not all over me, if you know what I mean. I WILL BE STRONG. I WILL NOT GIVE HIM SHINY RUNESTONES IN EXCHANGE FOR SEXUAL FAVORS. I WILL NOT. I'LL JUST BEAT THE ELVES INSTEAD, AND THEN GO BACK.

I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW I was like SUCK IT, CAILIN, I HATE YOU ALL. :-D

oh yay! have i told you lately how much i ship zevran/morrigan.

/how much i love your icon

FAIL

FAIL

FA--Fry icon? sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet--IL

Uh...you need to sleep with him before the landsmeet. I'm assuming you've done the Circle --> Redcliffe --> Urn --> Dwarves --> Elves, right? If so, then after Elves --> Landsmeet, so, uh, yes, give him runestones for sexual favors. :D

I know. :D Poor Calian, he gets so much abuse. I've even gotten to the point now where I'll abuse him as any race just for the lulz. Also, he's a pansy and is like, "Oh, how interesting!" when I insult him to his face.

Me and Douchebag Mahariel are going to have some fuuunnnn. :D

Why Zev/Morrigan? I guess it never spiked my interest. Probably because I love Alistair/Morrigan entirely too much.

I liked the first POTC movie . . . the first time around. I didn't find it bore repeated watching at all, and I thought League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was by far the better of the two movies that summer. The second one bored me to pieces . . . as in I spent half the movie thinking about how good the sushi I'd had the day before was. #3 I think I fell asleep for part of it. But I loved the Davy Jones' Locker scene and the turning the ship upside down.

Ack! Dwarves! Hopefully, by the end of the week I can kind of say that too. I'm trying to write about "The Birthday of the Infanta", and the intersection of The Grotesque, Ruskin, Bakhtin, possibly Hegel, Dwarfs, the topos of the Dying Child, and Dickens is wrecking my head. Why does "The Stones of Venice" have to be so long?

God, I freaking LOVE Dragon Age! But fuck dwarves, man. I'm in my 2nd play through (Fem!City Elf FTW! So intense!) and I'm on my last quest - Orzammar. And I'm all D:

So looooooong! ;_;

And seriously? Alistair doesn't love you yet? B-But he's so easy! Just be nice to him and he loves you! (To the point where my Fem!Tabris is romancing Zevran, and Alistair is practically a stalker. "But Alistair, we're FRIENDS! Friends, I tell you!" / "B-But I love you!" / "*sigh*"

(Turning him down is like kicking a puppy! But Zevran is SO worth it! Everyone gushes over Alistair, but honestly, Zevran is just as good ~~if not better, in some respects~~)

Annnnnd, I get rambly when it comes to DA:O! XD
Glad you're enjoying it! :)

I haven't done the Elves, but yes, I'll be sure to bang him before Landsmeet, never you worry. :-b (Quark beat the game, like, three days ago, so she's been sitting around coaching me through bossfights. "No! Just have Morrigan Cone of Cold everything!")

Man, my sister started playing, and she came to me and was like, "Oh my God, the king, I just want to lick him. Can I lick him? Or make out with him?" and I was like "...um...close enough?" And then she got to the "I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU THAT I SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED BEFORE WE HIT REDCLIFFE" scene and was like AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA and I was like toooooooold you. But yeah, he's just so...easily punched. Except then I remember he gets popped like a bug and feel a little bad.

Probably for the whole conversation where Morrigan's like "Why Zevran, you've found a new calling--someone's going to have to assassinate people who don't like Alistair as king" and Zevran's like "Why haven't we had sex yet?" and Morrigan's like "I would sooner stab you in the face." ...I just really want, like, post-game (NANANANA DON'T SPOIL ME) hothookup/politicalintrigue Zev/Morrigan fic. Like. Burning.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH THIS IS JUST MY FIRST PLAYTHROUGH SHHHHHHHHHHHH but omg FemCityElf FTW FTW though right now I'm a Fem!Human Mage because I love playing mages. The only quest I have left is the elves, and then to the landsmeet I gooooooooooo. EEK.

YOU CAN BEAT THE DWARVES EVENTUALLY. IT WILL HAPPEN.

well okay he LOVES me he's just not at +90 "please bang me" love-me yet. He's at +85 and we have run out of non-smooching conversation options. /smooches forever

And man I am not playing through with romancing Zevran this time around, but when he first showed up, I was like DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYUM. He is like Prince Naveen, only with stabbing and a fondness for leather. omg. so hot.

'SOKAY, I GET RAMBLY TOO. WE HAVE RAMBLEFESTS ON MY LJ. :-D

I love your new layout and Alex found cheap housing (with a pool! conveniently located! utilities included!) in Australia - I have absolute confidence you can do it, too

and if there is a gap ... check into the youth hostels. He had a place in a Beach!Hostel for a few days pending a more permanent place to live.

ah-hahahahahaha, well, that's one vote. Most people are like "those second two movies were terrible" and I'm like "well, I don't really remember the second one, but the basic plot was okay, but HOMG THE THIRD ONE, IT WAS RIDICULOUS" and I love how ridiculous it was, and how as the audience watching it for the fifth time you start to feel like you understand what's going on in every scene better than the actors do. Heh.

YOU CAN DO IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. *raps Dickens on the head and tells him to play nice*

POTC DOS ET TROIS LE BLOW

sooooooo dismal, man, like i needed that in my life. howEVER, i am conflicted because i love Tia Dalma and would be her little servant girl forever if she'd let me <3

YOU CAN DO IT FIND AN APARTMENT dang it is scary trying to find an apartment! my sympathies!!

OK, I WON'T SPOIL ANYTHING.

My first playthrough was the Female Human Noble, which a lot people seem to hate on. WHATEVER MAN, HATERS TO THE LEFT, MY ATHENA COUSLAND WAS A BAMF, OK?!

I REALLY want to play as a mage, but I'm a console (PS3) player, and not having that PC bar at the bottom for spells is PAINFUL because there are SO MANY FRACKIN' SPELLS TO CHOOSE FROM.

Orzamaar is just SO FREAKING LONG compared to all the other quests, including the freakin' fade in the Circle Tower quest. And I hated being everyones bitch: "Go find this person for me, kill that person, blah blah blah." I wanted to be: "BITCH, I AM A GREY WARDEN, DON'T F WITH ME! GIMME MY TROOPS SO I CAN BOUNCE." But alas, it was not so. Oooh, you're lucky: the Dalish quest is SHORT compared to everything else!

Yeah, I waited for Alistair to ask for sexy times too: I didn't want to pressure the poor boy, hahahaha!

I'm pretty sure that when the creators told Zevran's VA what he was like, his actor asked: "So he's basically a sexed-up Inigo Montoya?" ♥ Make sure you romance him on your next playthrough: YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! (Though honestly, I still wish they had made Bann Teagan romanceable... *dreamy sigh*)

I LOVE HAVING PEOPLE TO NERD OUT WITH ABOUT DA:O. NOT ENOUGH OF MY FRIENDS PLAY IT! ♥

I DO! I LOVE ALL THREE POTC MOVIES! I WAS BEGINNING TO THINK I WAS THE ONLY ONE! 3>

I agree that they have flaws, but yes. Love the canon.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS of course you are also one of the few completely unabashed SW fans on my flist too, so MAYBE THIS SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT US, BUT I DON'T CARE, GIMME MORE OF THAT WILL/ELIZABETH ANGST.

This probably does say something about us, but OH WELL. Also, I believe Cleolinda liked them all. SO WE ARE IN GOOD COMPANY.

Aw, The Little Mermaid layout ftw!

I like PotC. :) Though, yeah, the last two are RIDICULOUS! I just love my Will/Elizabeth and sexy Orlando Bloom (even if poor boy isn't a great actor). And Scruffington. Mmm...Scruffington...*drool*

*shakes head*

And I feel so left out of this DA thing. TT_TT

Considering one of those actors is Orlando Bloom, one is Keira Knightley, and one is most likely on something while he phones it in, there's a very good chance you understood the scenes better than the actors the first time around. (I think Orlando Bloom is actually an excellent actor whose skills are completely underused in those movies, but from interviews, I'd never claim he was the brightest button in the box.)

HOMG JADEY. How I love thee. I was thinking the exact same question. They were all a lot of fun though 1) I am really not okay with them screwing over Norrington. Poor guy he needs Ro to go give him a hug. (Y'know when I first met Ro in London I joked I'd bring her a cardboard cut out of Jack Sparrow or Norrington or both and she'd have to carry them round with her ALL DAY and Londoners would LOOK AT HER WEIRDLY and it would be fun. I was so deadly serious about it until the day she didn't realise it was a convoluted joke like the one we did to freak Willow out in chatzy.)

The 2nd and 3rd were ridiculous but in a fun way. I can watch them when I leave my brain at Philia's for rewiring, y'know. Also Mab's been reading some hilarious fanfic recently and a lot of them are better sequels than the third one. Also Tia Dalma is soooo cool - I can see Tamara's airship making a stop at hers.

Also the blooper reels are HILARIOUS

Johnny Depp: You can't swear in a Disney Movie mate
Orlando Bloom: *drops the sword a million times*
Barbossa guy: BELAY THAT....um. DO SOMETHING ELSE

Hey I watched them the other day with Z. Not my fault I remember stuff

Alistair didn't like my Dalish elf the first time I played. I gave him _EVERYTHING_ under the sun and he still wouldn't like me. ;.;
So I banged Lilliana instead.
(could have bagged Zev that game too, but didn't know you could boink more than one party member per game at the time)

Then I played the human noble chick. Gave Alistair some slobbered on cake and he was falling all over me after that... o.o;;

What's this about searching for apartments??
where? why?

:D yay Austalia!

(I love your icon/your garage. It is just so cheerful!)

I will keep that in mind! Thank you!

GO BUMBUM GO BUMBUM YOU'RE THE BEST!
AND ALL THE REST
ARE SECOND BEST!

GO BUMBUM GO BUMBUM YOU CAN'T LOSE!
BECAUSE.. GOOZE...
UH... FLOOZE.

DAMN. Um, okay.
I love you bumbum. :3

At least it is summer so you will not freeze to death wandering the streets looking for a home!

I have a colleague who looks and sounds like Orlando Bloom! You should come visit!

I'm moving to Seattle, Washington to do AmeriCorps for a year.

SOLD.

oh wait

too broke for plane ticket

BUG MONSTER

YOU ARE THE BEST AT CHEERS
