I'm kinda behind on these, lol.

Day 16 - Favorite poem or collection of poetry

"Footprints in the Sand" is one that I kind of keep referring back to, and I don't know why. I think that regardless if you're religious or not the message is very nice, and it kind of uplifts you knowing that even during your most difficult moments in life you were never alone even if you think you were. I don't know, I really like that for some reason.

With that being said, I don't really think I've been huge on poetry. I did go through a period in high school where I wrote it though, obviously something to really kind of express myself (very badly, btw), but otherwise it's not something that I kind of pay much attention.


Day 17 - Favorite story or collection of stories (short stories, novellas, novelettes, etc.)

Fairytales. I'm very into fairytales, not just the stories themselves but the history of their origins as well, as many of them were gruesome and had some pretty explicit meanings behind them. Just learning the different interpretations of them is intriguing enough. I have a collection of fairytales (at least some of them anyway) in a huge book that we've had for God knows how long, but it's one of the reasons, along with many other influences, that got me interested in them in the first place. I don't really talk about it that much, but I've always had a fascination with these sort of stories and tales because of their background and history and how it relates to today, and how we've changed the meaning but still keep that fantastical parts of it, you know? Okay, I'm rambling, but yes fairytales are my favorite collection of stories.

Also, obligatory icon usage because it's so appropriate and it's just too funny that I have use right now, lol! I MISS YOU CARA AND YOUR SEXY SARCASTIC MORD'SITH WAYS! WANT S3 DAMMIT.

Random is happening. It must be Monday.

Things that make me happy:

++ I think I mentioned a while ago that I'm gradually learning to play the piano, I'm still at it. Right now alongside the typical things like Beethoven's stuff that are very easy to learn, I'm kind of more dedicated to learning Bear McCreary's pieces because I love his music and duh, BSG. Come on. It's funny though, I used to be able to read music because I was in band in elementary school, but I've totally forgotten how! So I'm relearning it. XD There's a minor issue with our piano, which we've had like forever, because the strings are kind of out of tune and it's sounding all weird. But that's fixable, I just don't want to do it myself because I don't trust myself with these things, lol.

++ Shopping. I'm kind of buying myself a whole new wardrobe not just for the fall but also for Chicago next month. I might make a fashion post later, who knows. My closest is gonna suffer, for sure. I already have so much shit in there it's insane.

++ I HAS MY COMPUTER BACK! My main computer was having some technical difficulties for the last couple of weeks (aka the Blue Screen of Deatttthhh!!) for whatever reason, we don't really know, but it's been fixed now. *knocks on wood* It's where I keep the majority of my work, but I'm making sure to back them up anyway. But I'm happy to have it back. It's just weird because I've been using my laptop since it's been down, so I've gotten used to really using it instead of the other, heh.

++ Misha Collins, as always. ♥ He always makes me happy.


Things that make me laugh:

++ This morning was so weird. Like okay, I'm still chauffeuring my sister because she needs to get another car, so I'm driving her to work and all this weird stuff was happening that normally doesn't happen when I drive her to her work. Like we counted three cars along the way having stopped at the side of the road because of whatever troubles they had, there was a fire near an abandoned house on a dry abandoned field, a car was staled in the middle of the road and three motorcyclists came out of nowhere from the area to help. Literally, they like zoomed by at random. And there was a dead squirrel on the road. I don't know, you had to be there, but it was just weird and I think I was too punchy I kept laughing when it happened. Anyway, yeah. I'm weird. Today is weird. lol

++ THESE GUYS LOL OMG WHUT. BEST CAST EVER.

The entire panel from this year's Dragon*Con is completely hilarious also, but this really had me laughing until I was crying last night, I swear. I love the gags they play on each other, Nathan in particular loves planning these kinds of pranks on them by calling into their panels and just the random things they do to each other (feel bad for the people wanting to ask questions though, damn Nathan and him spoiling things! but in the most entertaining way of course). I still love that after all these years all these people are still close friends and go to these conventions. They are so adorable and comfortable with each other, I love this cast so much. Best big damn cast ever, imo. ♥

And this is why I think Nathan Fillion and Misha Collins would get along so well. Just saying because it's true. They would make the best partners in crime, I'm so not joking. It needs to happen. *g*
