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

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 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.

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!!

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.

[styromgalleries.livejournal.com]

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

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.

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;;

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!
