So. Jordan said this line on Studio 60. I was all "Yay Jordan/Harriet!" It wasn't so much the line, but that she delivered it wrong right. Jordan said something like "Would you go on the cover of Newsweek and say that you're gay?" Even though the fact that she was kidding came through, (I don't remember exactly how she delivered it, but I think it wasn't even my crazy warped femslasher mind that caught this, she really did hit the wrong part of the line IMO) it sounded more like "I know you're gay because the sex last night was amazing, but will you go on the cover of Newsweek and say so?" Made me laugh. And Jordan called her Harri. Which also made me smile.

And something that made me smile and then in rapid succession grimace and feel ashamed? Janeway/Seven. Because I am a darksider. Have been for years. That was one of my first major pairings (probably the first with enough of an established fandom to keep me entertained) of the type that you're loyal to for years. And in the B'Elanna/Seven fic, there were generally 3 ways of dealing with Janeway and acknowledging the pretty blatant subtext between Janeway and Seven. One - ignore Janeway all together. Use her just as much as needed to get your girls in a turbolift or shuttle crash and then just leave her up on the bridge doing captainy type stuff where we never hear from her again. (See most B/7 fic for examples.) Two - jealous/lover Janeway. This being the one that is in love with Seven, but whom B'Elanna manages to steal the girl out from under, the main example in my head right now being "She Who Hesitates is Lost". Three - mother Janeway. Acting as a mother figure to Seven. (See "Queen of Hearts" by DiNovia.)

This last one is the one I tended to subscribe to most, which I think is mostly why I'm having so much trouble accepting the fact that I'm turning into a reluctant J/7er. But to be honest, I've read most of the really good, notable B/7 stuff that I can find. (Though if anybody knows of any more amazing B/7 fics that I might have overlooked, send them here.) And so J/7 is an entire new world and from what I've read, this world is populated with some really good writers. And the B/7 circles that I'm aware of have really slowed down. So yeah. Probably going to be reading quite a bit of the J/7 stuff in time to come.

And not only fics, but vids! Whole pages with one person making like 30! There are very few B/7 vids that I've ever found.
(There was a scene in one that I just watched where Tuvok melded both Janeway and Seven and the same time? How did they explain that any other way than marriage bond through a mediator?)

Made up a test today for Spanish. Man, I love Dr. Beatty. He's pretty awesome. He left a sticky note for me on the door when I came by right after school saying that he'd be right back (which was good, as I got time to study when you put the accent on 'ese'). Most teachers just wouldn't be there. He left a note. And then he went through and marked how many points each type of question was worth on the test while circling things in the directions that I should take note of (like "make sure you use two adjectives in this one" and "only do 4 out of these 5" and such) which was nice because it was all in Spanish and he wanted to make sure that I didn't lose points because I didn't know a major word or something in the directions. And he was very helpful, asking a couple of times to make sure that I didn't have any questions and such. He always seems like one of those kinds of teachers that won't at all think you're stupid for asking a question. And I love his "Perfecto, está bien, excellente" thing that he says all the time, even if he follows it with (in Spanish, obviously) "but what if you switched this around this way?" Always so positive. He's the one teacher that I have this year that I actively like.

So. Got a bio test and a math quiz tomorrow. Should really be studying, as I know nothing about the stuff on either of them because the teachers are useless. Should really be in bed if not studying.

Caught some kind of 24 hour food poisoning from the oatmeal raisin cookies at the mini medical school thing. And there's absolutely no irony in that!

So I wasn't at school today. (Meaning Wednesday. Which is no longer today, but still.) Which sorta sucked. Because now I've got to go pay to see the school play to do my analysis of it for theatre class, instead of going to the dress rehearsal for free. And I've now got to make up a chemistry quiz, a bio test, and take a math test all tomorrow/soon. And read a whole bunch of chapters in that stupid Canadian history book and the stupid Latin American history book. By Friday. Which isn't going to happen. Honestly. Nothing good happened in Canada. Ever. They film some good Sci-Fi TV shows there. That's it. I'm appreciating the Latin America book more and more because the Canada one is just so horrible. I'm going to try to find a kiddie Canada book at the library tomorrow, read that instead so I actually have some idea of what to write on the essay for the quiz on Friday.

No Bones on tonight, and the stupid baseball game it was canceled for got rained out and so wasn't even on. Curses.

I was going to go outside (You're all thinking 'Her? Sun? No way'. It was 6:30 at night. So not much sun. And I had sunscreen on.) and play soccer with my sister tonight, but just as we were about to go out the door, it started with the raining. Sadness. Kaci was angry.

The lady running for state representative for my district talked to my liberal union thing, and was all with the praising of me (she mentioned it quite a few times) for this ally week thing that I'm organizing that she heard about at the beginning of the meeting. Yay for that. I was all *blush*.

Somebody broke the screen part of my back door. You know how there are two doors sometimes, a wooden one and a glass/screen one? The spring thing that makes the screen bit close again after you open it isn't there anymore (actually, I think it is there, just hanging off of the door), and so if you open the door, it just swings all the way open (farther than it should open, it just goes until it hits the side of the house) and you've got to manually close it.

There's that wintry smell out. I don't know how else to describe it, just that crisp smell of winter. It's supposed to get down close or right below freezing tonight, and only be slightly above it by the time in the morning I go to school. That's going to be fun, as I can't so much bring a coat because I share my locker with two other people and we won't be able to fit all of our stuff in there with coats too. But I love the cold, so it's okay.

Lisa E. doesn't know command form in Spanish. (Is there another name for that? That and imperative is all we ever called it.) I know command form. Yay for Spanish lip kissing. (Bésame Ud. en los labios, Lisa!) The spanish translations for the subtitles were wrong, at least at one point. Lisa's like "She did come back" and the subtitles said that she did not. And there was a use or two of the vosotros form when the director guy was just talking to Hugh. Yay, me catching spanish mistakes. But really just mistakes in what was happening.

So I'm not getting all of the House Unplugged thing, but some. Which is good. (I just caught 'my whore'. Yay, whore. Cuddy wishes she was is my whore.)

Dubbing is funny. Stacy's dubber for the bit I just saw of her talking to Cuddy sounds majorly like somebody from one of those overly dramatic spanish soap operas. The inflections and all. And in the "House, you are. . . as God made you" bit, the fake!Wilson was laughing. But not sad, cynical laughing, real laughing. RSL acted that bit well, and dubberman ruined the mood of the scene. And the part where Wilson sawed through House's cane and House falls, there's all this grunting and gasping in the dub (LOL, dirty mind) that Hugh didn't do.

Did RSL say that he thinks that Wilson enjoys House? I think so. Awesome word choice.

It's so hard to pick things out when they've got Lisa talking in english, the dub of her on top of it, a dubbed clip going on in the other corner, and "Hallelujah" playing on top of it all. Give us non-spanish speakers a break here! I really wish they'd redo this in english, because even a translation of what's being said takes away so much of it, because it's a translation of a translation, and when the first translation isn't all that precise. . . .

(Ignore the fact that this is probably not right at all. I just found it entertaining that when I was watching the Unplugged thing and writing in here, I switched to writing in spanish without noticing at first. Then I just decided to continue for fun.)
Lisa paga la mujer de la pelo a decir que ella es bonita. Por qué necesita pagar una persona? Quiero decirla gratis!
Lisa no bebe el alchohol? Eh, Cuddy bebe (cuando ella dijo que Vogler necesitó salir, y House y los 'ducklings' estuvieron celebrando, y ella bebió todo la bebida rapidamente), no es una problema para mi historia.
(Hey, does anybody know if the quiero decirla thing is right? That's not how I was going to say it; I had it in future tense, but I checked on some website online to make sure I was conjugating it correctly, and they said to use querer + infinitive instead for having the willingness to do something. I wonder if this is specific to certain areas of the world or something.)

How would you say 'fuck-me shoes' in spanish? Los zapatos de Lisa que se llaman los "fuck-me shoes"? Well, I know what I'm going to spend my spanish class looking up. Hope that's in the dictionary. (But the shot when people were taking pictures of them and Lisa did the eyebrow thing? Yeah, era calor.)

Grr. Internet down. Really, probably my arsehole of a father turned it off again. And it's not even that late, not even 11pm on Wednesday. So must post this later. And I don't have my history stuff finished yet. I need to look up some more stuff for the background for a project that I missed the first day of working on. Lovely. Fucker.

So yeah. Ignore the fact that I haven't checked my email in so long that I've got bazillions of messages. Because I've only been getting on every couple of days for any substantial period of time lately. Which is not with the making of me happy.

But the entire internet (okay, maybe just my friends list) speaks/writes like me, which is entertaining, because they're all up with the crazy convoluted "not with the making of me happy" and "And that's my story" and my extremely overused "yay!"s.

Interesting story. Katie is the Wilson to my House. We knew that. I'm all in to emergency medicine because I like the skill needed for the diagnosing and the variety of the patients and I'd totally do Diagnostics if there was such a department, because that (and trauma) is the reason I've had my heart set on working in the ER for more than half a decade. She's into oncology. We've been watching that The Cherry Orchard movie of the Chekov play, and day before yesterday (and yesterday also) were sitting in these computer chair things and I pulled over one of those crappy plastic school chairs and we put our feet up on it in synch (not even planning/trying to or anything) just like House and Wilson in 2.16 "Safe". And we both realized that we did it, and there was laughing.

Was trying to help Katie fix her glasses case when it broke, and she was like "This is a crazy picture. Here we are, two of the smartest people in the school, standing in the hallway fiddling with a glasses case." That made me all warm and fuzzy inside. As I very often feel like a blathering idiot next to her, as I'm not used to knowing anybody having friends smarter than me.

"Scuttlebutt has it that you and Thumper messed it up in the parallel." Does that sound like a better euphemism for sex than it is for fighting to anyone else?

Amy Lee in the "Call Me When You're Sober" video looks much better when her hair isn't in the headband. She's still really pretty. I heard she was a bitch, though, from somebody who met her at one of the concerts back before she was big (a concert I really wanted to go to, but it's in the shit part of town across the river and I was like 12, so my mom was like no) which sort of dissapointed me. I'm not a fan of mean people. The music is very obviously different without Ben Moody. And the guy in the video sort of looked like Wolverine (there were also wolves in the video, so maybe he was supposed to). Kinda hot.

Watching some kind of Oprah episode about menopause. (When I first wrote this, I was. Internet got turned off in the middle of my typing last night/this morning without me realizing it, so I'm posting it now.) I just had left the TV on after Cheno was on Leno, and then happened to look up and see Geena Davis and then shortly after a clip of Sela Ward (Who was talking about sex, but I still had it muted, so I don’t know what she said. And I’m really curious.) Which is when I started watching, because yay, Sela. The doctor lady was just like “If you don’t use it, you’ll lose it,” it being sex (which I didn’t know at all. Interesting.) and then goes on to mention how masturbation works just fine too if you’re by yourself, and Geena’s all *nods*. I laughed. Yay, mental images. Geena’s hot for being older than my mom. (Less hot now that I’m comparing her to my mom. But still very good looking. I’d do her.)

Kate and her agent friend Marcy on NCIS episode 1.03 “Seadog” act like ex-girlfriends. The cut-short hug and sorta distanced conversation and all.

My spanish teacher pre-cog thing has continued. Last year I had this dream that I had to do CPR on my spanish teacher in the middle of class, the next morning she left school having chest pains (she was fine, though). Had a dream a couple of nights ago, lots of crazy stuff in there, but new spanish teacher sang. That morning, we started talking about how the orphan/poor kids sing the lottery numbers in Spain, and he demonstrated. Pretty nuts.

My hard drive is really full. I've been cleaning stuff and shrinking stuff and saving stuff temporarily to the main computer's hard drive, but I've got to get the stuff off the main computer, and as it stands, I've only got 778MB left. Gonna have to start burning episode type things off of it. I didn't want to because I was afraid that disks would get scratched up and I wouldn't have them anymore, but I'm going to have to chance it. Problem is that the stuff is so big that I'll have to burn them onto DVD disks, which are sorta expensive, especially because I want to make at least one extra copy to hide somewhere as a backup.

Found old speakers and hooked them up to my computer today, so no more watching stuff while trying to bend down far enough so that your headphone cord reaches the back of the computer. Not enough power slots, though, so I had to unplug my scanner. Oh well. I'm pretty sure the scanner doesn't work anymore anyway. Dad insists that it does, but last time I tried it wouldn't.

Amnesty cluster meeting tomorrow. Yay for that. Going to have to convince one of my parents to leave my sister's soccer game early to drive me down there. Not going to be easy. They're just going to want me to be late, but I don't want to be late, as that would be bad.

Posted ch. 3 of The Hookup to ff.net. All my chapters so far have been unbetaed because I'm so anxious to get them up, but I could use somebody to read over my shoulder, then I could fix things and repost the chapters. http://www.fanfiction.net/u/438816/ is my author profile, but there are only 4 stories, and I'm going to take one off because I don't like it. I'm keeping the idea, but the writing sucked. Our eng. professor has us do these annoying discussion questions with essay answers, and it's the second time this week I'm sitting at the computer, supposed to be writing my paper, but can't think of anything to say.

Ooh, I wore my patchwork hippy skirt today, it made me happy. More spanish verb conjugation in class. People will understand if I go around saying "I am happy. You run here. Yesterday she buys cats." Well, not understand well, but they'd get it, right? Now it is the difference between Past Tense Preterite and Past Imperfect. Who the hell cares?

Tuesday we made Earth day shirts in Amnesty Int'l., they say "Taking care of the earth means taking care of it's people". Except I spelled environmental wrong. So I've gotta fix that before tomorrow.

Ya know what's sad? The LingData forum got hacked, and it is down. So, to whomever did it, SIT ON THIS AND SPIN!! I posted a drabble on there and it's probably gone. So you suck, Mister or Miss Hacker Person! (Gotta be politically correct!)
