<Insert clever tile here>

I have been truly and utterly sucked in by Star Trek fandom. My flist has been taken over, and I don't read anything else because there are only so many hours and there are SOOO many good STXI stories out there. Honestly, I think at least half of the posts on my flist are Trek related. I have been a Trek fan practically since birth, but I have NEVER slashed it at all until I saw this new movie. 5 times so far. And I'm into pairings I wouldn't have expected. Like Kirk/McCoy. I. can't. stop. reading. it. And I would've thought I'd be all about the Kirk/Spock, but notsomuch. Really not at all. Huh.

Is anyone else having trouble finding their way out of the LaBrea Tar Pit that is ST Reboot fandom?

Also, the Terminator Salvation is eating my brain but in a totally different way.

Just stopping by to say I'm a huge failure as a nerd. I started much too late (still don't know why) and I am only able to procure 2 of the 4 Star Trek glasses from Burger King. I fail so hard as a Trekkie. *sad*

OK, so finals kicked my ass, and this summer class I'm taking right now is going to annihilate me for the next four weeks, so there's no way I'm keeping up on LJ. If there's anything you think I should know, leave me a comment, otherwise I'll see you all again in mid-June. Joy.

I had a fantastic day! Weather was nice, my car is clean, just got home from class to find this: Limited Edition Titanium Spork! Number 940 out of 1701 baby! I also got a mother-effin 100% on the Philosophy paper I thought I'd maybe get a B on. Apparently the prof was quite enamored of my "disillusionment with philosophy/reason". Cool beans. Anyway, hope all my flisters had a great day, too! And if you didn't, have one tomorrow, dammit!! TTFN!!!

That is all.

Any of my LJ peeps ever been to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland? I'm wondering if it is worth the 952 mile drive from my house. I'd like to take my 14 year old godson this summer, but only if it's really cool. I'm also looking for suggestions on or near this route (or we might go over to Milwaukee and down to Chicago):

You Are Break Dancing

You are a rebel and a rule breaker. You are uniquely you, and you expressing your individuality. And while you're different and a bit weird, you're no slacker. You're extremely hard working. Having unusual talents is not as easy as it looks!

Hmmmmm...maybe if there's an ambulance standing by...

Thanks stardust78!

EDIT: Never mind. False alarm. Damn.

The next set is from stardust83

( Another cut. )

This batch comes from rjsteamboat76.

In reverse order because all the cool kids are doing it that way (like helsmeta).

Throw off a cliff: Randy Pearson. You, sir, single-handedly ruined the last season of a great show. Not that it was as good after Eric left, but it wasn't bad enough to need this doofus. I'm actually rather vehement about this one. I want him to go over one of those cliffs the Spartans used to throw handicapped babies off of. With lots of spiky rock shards at the bottom. And it's OK if he doesn't die right away. I could listen to him moan in agony for a while.



Shag: Lando Calrissian. Sure, he betrayed the rebels, but he's yummy. And sooooo smooth.



Marry: Boromir. He's damaged, but he wants to be good. He does. And I could fix him, dammit. Otherwise he'll just die anyway and then I'll move on to Faramir.

This one is from helsmeta. Apparently we're going with "J" for a theme.


Marry: Jonas Quinn. This one was easy. He's smart and cute and seems to have a sense of humor. Plus, he's from another planet, so he's got that going for him.


Shag: Jayne Cobb. I know, he's crude and mean and generally a crappy human being, but he's just so dang hot. And big. I don't usually go for big, but there's something about those t-shirts that just really does it for me. Plus he'd go away right after and I wouldn't have to worry about him wanting to hang out.


Throw off a cliff: John Sheppard. Sorry, dude, but the whole martyr complex thing does nothing for me. Add to that the fact that I couldn't get through Calculus without a tutor and still got a C, and you have a recipe for disaster. Sure, he's smoking hot in an "I don't really care but they're paying me so I'll pretend to" kind of way, but that only gets us to the first time one of us gets sick and then the whole thing falls apart.

So the world is ending, apparently, and I got another week off of school. Which is nice, because my "vacation", while thoroughly enjoyable, was not particularly relaxing. I will recount my travels at a later date when I can back it up with pictures. We really enjoyed Eastern Utah. Cool stuff there.

Saw Watchmen the other night. I'm really glad I read the book first, because there are a lot of characters to keep track of. I really liked it and was surprised at how faithful it was to the book. Of course, they left some stuff out, but it would've been an eight hour movie if they hadn't. I thought all the important stuff made it in, although I would've liked a little more Minutemen action. Oh well, that's what my imagination is for, right?

I'm getting ready to register for Summer and Fall semesters, and I'm really excited because the summer class I'm taking is scheduled for the first, shorter session, so I'll have most of the summer off! Of course, this is dependent upon NDSU not being under water, so we'll see.

Much existential angst and self-defeating inner monologue has been going on the past few weeks, but it's all boring and the same old crap, so I'm not going to discuss it. Hoping the weather improves soon, though, or we all might go nuts. Anyhoo, that's enough for now, hope everyone is staying dry! TTFN!!

Snagged from all over my flist. These three are from rjsteamboat76. You know the drill, comment and I'll give you 3.

Marry - Han Solo. I think he'd leave me alone sometimes. And he's not a whiner.



Shag - this is a really tough one. I'm going to go with the Joker, though. Sure, he'll probably kill me, but his pillow talk would be awesome.



Throw off a cliff - sorry, Lee. You're just such a whiny little bitch. Yes, you're hotter than the other two put together, but I'd eventually have to kill you anyway, so let's just get it over with, hmm?

I was kind of hoping for Le Guin, but this is probably more accurate than I'd like.

I am: William Gibson The chief instigator of the "cyberpunk" wave of the 1980s, his razzle-dazzle futuristic intrigues were, for a while, the most imitated work in science fiction.

Which science fiction writer are you?

Monticello, to be exact. Saw Canyon De Chelly in AZ yesterday, hanging around Utah for a few days before heading home. Y'all will let me know if I missed anything important, right?

I as SOOOOO psyched for X-Men Origins. Liev Schrieber and Ryan Reynolds plus Hugh Jackman? I can has rite nao, plz? I want Ryan Reynolds and Tamoh Penikett declared ineligible for shirt wearing. I know they're Canadian, so maybe we could make it a condition of their visa. No shirts allowed for those two, ever. And if they could drop by my house, that would be cool, too. If they could stop by when there's a hockey game on, even better. If they could play hockey shirtless in my living room, better yet. Throw in a box of really good chocolates and I can die happy.
