MOOD:  calm
MUSIC: Scream 3
Things I have done so far this summer:
-Watched all three seasons of Friday Night Lights in basically four days. My mom had sort of been trying to get me to watch it for a while but I knew it was going to be depressing, so I'd been putting it off, but I started watching it online and then the first two seasons were $30 together at Target, so I basically got addicted. And it WAS totally depressing, but also totally awesome. I probably cried at least once during every other episode. I don't know if there's a hotter male cast around, and I love me some Texans. THEN I saw it on a list for a TV/Movie-based highschool J2 fic challenge, and OH GOD PLEASE SOMEONE WRITE THAT. I didn't even think about it while I was watching the show, but now I can't stop imagining Jeffrey Dean Morgan as the coach, and Jensen as his son, maybe with Tom Welling as the paralyzed Jason Street, and Jared as his replacement quarterback. Less drama, though. Dazed and Confused is also on the list, and unsurprisingly, I've been writing that fic in my head for the last three years. :P
-Sat in the laptop room at the government center for an entire day, basically reading fic and hoping that my name wouldn't be called. Yayy, Jury Duty! At least I didn't get called.
-Rented Fired Up and actually laughed out loud a bunch of times. I pretty much just rented it for Danneel, but it was actually pretty awesome. I also started watching the Maxim Hot 100 of 2009 randomly, and did a major double-take when I realized she was actually hosting it this year. Good for her. I think she's pretty badass.
-Saw Star Trek a bunch of times, and loved Zachary Quinto even more every time. May or may not have come home and actually gotten out my free posters from Comic Con 08 and hung up the super hot James T Kirk one. Also bought Star Trek eggo waffles, and limited edition Star Trek cereal. :X
-Rented Fanboys, and watched it like five times, including once with the commentary. If you haven't seen it, it's basically Detroit Rock City for nerds, and it's fucking amazing. I still can't believe how many notable people they managed to get in there. I was so happy when Danny McBride showed up at the end. And Carrie Fisher, obviously.
-Saw 17 Again at the Regency ($3 theatre) like four times. Zac Efron is really fine, just in case you know, you're blind and therefore weren't aware. Other than that, Thomas Lennon's character Ned was hiiiiiiiilarious, and I want to live in his house. Overall it was exponentially better than I was expecting. Not even I would have sat through the entire thing with four different people just for Zac Efron's hot ass.
-Bought a dress to wear to my sister's wedding in August. It's going to be extremely non-traditional, and the dress is actually black. It's hot. Also, I got ordained online, and I'm going to be the one officiating their marriage. I will now be referred to as Reverend Charlotte. ;]
-Watched the entire first two seasons of Gossip Girl. Ohhh, Chuck Bass. Stop trying to surpass the Winchesters and Brian Kinney as my favorite TV characters, you loveable brooding bastard. Also, I would like to be in the middle of a Dan & Rufus Humphrey sandwich. I don't think I need to comment on Chace Crawford considering my already very obvious affinity for pretty boys with manly bodies, or just Texans in general. Also, I'm probably going to buy the whole Blair collection when Anna Sui's GG-inspired line comes to Target in September.
-Spent the last week hanging out with my madre. She had the week off from work, so we basically went shopping and chillaxed all week. One day we went to the harbor for Fish and Chips, and another we went thrifting in the morning with my dad and ended up buying an awesome corner bookshelf/armoire for only $20. I may or may not have bought yet another Darth Vader shirt there, too, as well as a rad vintage flowery bracelet, and some crazy British shoes. We also went to Thousand Oaks, where I discovered a store called Love Culture that I'd previously been unaware of. I pretty much loved every article of clothing in there, and surprisingly, they're all fairly cheap. We had lunch at Panera, too, which is always amazing and delicious. Over a few of those days I managed to acquire a pretty impressive headband collection. For super cheap, too. Yay, accessories! With the amount of clothes, scarves, hats, sunglasses, shoes, etc etc that I own, I could seriously have my own boutique.
-Decided to teach myself to cook. I made peanut butter cookies, followed by some rad Tomato Alfredo Penne with chicken, and then a Coconut Creme Pie that was pretty delicious. I even made the crust! I also made lasagna that everyone in my family (and Gladys) totally loved, and a Chocolate Creme Pie. It had a homemade oreo crust, and I even decorated it with fancy whipped creme rosettes on top of the whipped creme topping. Taaaasty.
-Mostly ignored July 4th, except for the huge amount of delicious food I consumed, and the Star Wars Eps 4-6 marathon I decided to have with myself. It was pretty awesome even though I was sort of constantly being interrupted by the fireworks going off all around my neighborhood. :P
-Drooled over tennis this morning, or rather, tennis players. And now ever since I read that Wimbledon J2 fic, my mind can't help but imagine other things. Siiiigh.
As for what I'm doing right now? Planning for Comic Con, watching Scream 3 and reciting the dialogue correctly while MTV's censoring butchers (pun!) every other line, reading Volume 1 of The Boys, and contemplating going downstairs for some frozen yogurt. Aaand now that I've written it, I think I'll go do just that. Thanks for reading if you've actually gotten this far, or if you were bored enough to just skip to the end. Maybe I'll update tomorrow with an easy image-based summary of this post. BYE! ;]
