No rest for the wicked

Song of the Day: The Mummer's Dance by Loreena McKennitt

I'm out of peanut butter! This is a disaster.

I guess I could get a new jar, but that would require me to order a whole bunch of groceries from the supermarket and then open the door to the delivery guy and spend a few awkward minutes making small talk, yada yada yada. (I was just about to make a Yoda pun.)

Also, I've been playing Don't Starve again. It's fun. It's like Minecraft but without blocks and scarier. I mean, I'm not afraid of spiders in real life, but the spiders in DS never fail to startle me.

I'm actually pretty upset because two different companies managed to mess up my order; the first one sent me a wrong product (which I know have to return and I really don't want to 'cause I'm lazy as hell and I don't want to go out) and the second one somehow placed the t-shirt I ordered in someone else's parcel. So, I have to sent emails and this is exactly the kind of shit I didn't want to get involved in - this is why I order online dammit! To avoid social interaction! And yes - emailing someone counts as social interaction. Most people don't understand this - but yeah, this is how I am. I'm a complete introvert: I like staying home and leaving only when it's absolutely necessary (like if there's a fire) or when I want to hang out with friends.

I'm also invited to someone's birthday party and I have to go out and get him a gift (I have no idea what - I'm not Leslie Knope), so I guess I'll go out after all. I just don't like going out by myself, it feels weird.

To end on a positive note, last night I dreamed I was at Burger King. And that my dad was wanted by the government. And he had to change his name and they sent helicopters after us. And as I was running I was holding my cat. He was very soft.

UPDATE: I wrote this a few days ago. I now have peanut butter but no muffins. Another day, another disaster is my life motto.

Bogus!

Song of the Day: Stronger by Kanye West.

Child of Light is getting really intense! People are trying to kill me, which is - if you think about it - what happens in every single video game. You'd think I'd be tired of it, but no. It's fun. I get to have guns and swords and sneak behind people.

I've been drawing/painting lately. It's equally relaxing and frustrating. Mostly because I can't draw for shit and that makes me press the 'x' button and that's why I have tons of wips on my computer, just sitting there. I'm really bad at finishing stuff - mostly because I'm a perfectionist and I expect too much of myself.
... which is why I've been writing a book for 7 years now...

Also, fuck Game of Thrones. What on shit's name was that first 16 mins of 'The Laws of Gods and Men' ? Yet another gratuitous sex scene? I know this is Game of Thrones, but that's just plain horrible. Actually - you know what's pissing me off? Boobs. I keep seeing boobs, boobs and more boobs, but no naked men, ever. And that is extremely offensive.

Anyway, the sun's almost up, so it's time for me to make some coffee. My sleeping schedule is completely fucked up.

Questionable Content

Song of the Day: What Goes Around...Comes Around by Justin Timberlake.

I'm going through a mini existential crisis. Yes. Again. I'm almost 20, mmmkay?

The title of this post comes from what I've been reading for the past 2 days. Yes. I'm reading QC again. I shouldn't, seeing as every time I say I'll read only a few strips, I end up reading hundreds...Marten is the character I most identify with. Quite obvious, right? Right. Let's move on.

About my existential crisis. I haven't spend much money lately, apart from food and transport, so, I felt like I deserved to spoil myself a little. I bought an brow powder (the fuck is this ? right, it's basically...well, powder for your brows. mine are very sparse, so I need to fill them in when I go out. enough 'splainin'.)
I also ordered an eyeshadow palette (Urban Decay's Naked 2) and I'm about to buy a few tank tops/camis to wear when I go out at night ('cause I obviously can't wear my geeky t-shirts, can I? they're so comfy though!). And I really don't feel like squeezing myself in a tight dress. I know I look good in them, but it's still cold at night where I live and I can't really dance in them, only sway awkwardly left and right. Which is kind of what I'm doing when I'm wearing pants too, but never mind.

I've been talking around the whole existential crisis thing, haven't I? Well, here's what's bothering me (apart from my nose being too wide, lulz): my face looks like a baby's! Okay, more like a 15/16 year old's, but still. I really really hate that. Most people (including my mom - SHUT UP MOM) say that I'm lucky, 'cause when I'm her age, I'll still look young and stuff. Is that supposed to make me feel better? That I'll look better than other women when I'm 50? Geez, thanks, now I feel great. My problem isn't that big - I mean, they don't always ID me, but I've had people saying I look 12, or that I look younger that my sister (we're 4 years apart!) - okay, they must've been blind, I can't find any other explanation for this. But anyway, I decided to jump on the contouring bandwagon. I have an oval face and no Benedict Cumberbatch cheekbones or a sharp nose...I'm generally not one of the people complaining about their appearance. In fact, I'm quite satisfied with how I look - the only part of me that I would like to change is my nose, but apart from that, I'm happy with my face and body. Yes, I'm short but that doesn't bother me.

What? I said I'd make brief posts? Hahahaha. You know I'm a writer, right?

And I just remembered! I'm writing a sitcom! That's right. I'll be writing it during breaks from my novel. I thought it would be a good idea to branch out a little. 

Also: my obsession with peanut butter continues! PEANUT BUTTER BAGELS!

We live in the darkest timeline: blog reboot and other stuff.

Song of the week: Beautiful Times by Owl City and Lindsey Stirling.

I keep forgetting about this blog and then coming back.

First things first: I have a blog that I update quite often, it's ladydragonfire.tumblr.com.

Also, I will update my blog quite often now. 'Cause I'm narcissistic and egotistical like that!
I know no one's reading this, but what the hell!

I'm listening to Bee Gee's Stayin' Alive. Man, I love this song. Makes me wanna dance. And I dance like Commander Shepard (which, if you're not familiar with Mass Effect, is a bad thing).
Now I'm listening to Billie Jean. I want to do the moonwalk. But my room is too small and let's be honest. I can't moonwalk.

I know I said I'd make a vlog/gaming channel but: there's a reason this didn't happen.
I tried. I really, really tried. But, last September, I moved in student halls, since I'm a uni student now (HELL YEAH!) and I felt that it would be too weird if I talk on my own to a camera...
I did make a let's play, which is not available now, since it's wasn't even that good. And it had like 5 views, all from me. Need I say more?

Wait, I'm listening to Katy Perry now!
Wait, what?
You would never-! Well, I do like Katy Perry. If you don't, it's fine, but I do.
Are you ready for, ready for...a perfect storm, perfect storm...♪

I'll probably listen to ACDC next. Yeah, I listen to pretty much everything nowadays. But yeah, ACDC are awesome!

I've been playing Child of Light lately, and it's so adorable! The protagonist, Aurora, kinda looks like me (red hair-brown eyes), so that's a factor. But seriously, it's so cute! And a rejuvenating break from the mayhem and craziness of Saints Row.
JOHNNY FUCKING GAT. MATT EFFIN' MILLER.

My favourite dialogue:
- Listen you French fuck--
- Please. I am Belgian.
- So make yourself a fucking waffle.

ALSO: Watch The Devil's Carnival. It's a horror musical and so damn good!

Why this is a reboot? I'll try to keep it short (who am I kidding? when do I keep things short?).

1. No more long and complicated posts - I'm nearly twenty and therefore, too old for that.
2. Instead, I'll make short posts and perhaps include some pictures, as I write about all the meaningless things that happen in my life.
3. I'll talk about video games and tv shows and what kind of music I'm listening to while writing each post.
4. I'll have a song of the week thing. Found on top of every post. 

See? That was short. I even surprised myself this time! I'll end with a few hashtags.

Update

Listening to: "Skellig" by Loreena McKennitt

I have no reason not to make a vlog anymore; I got my new camera just a few hours ago. It's a Canon Ixus 125HS, a bit pricey for my standarts but I couldn't resist (it's Full HD and records on 1080p).
I've prepared about 12 episodes and I'm probably going to record the first this Friday. Funny thing; the introduction is the only thing I haven't prepared...

In other news, I've been really busy lately, having to write 3 academic essays until mid May. The Humanities essay's topic is Elizabethan Literature, the Psychology one's about The Science of Attraction and the Literature one about G.R.R Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire".
For the latter, I'm pretty excited, since I'll have the chance to study the books even more thoroughly and I'm sure I'll enjoy writing this particular essay.
And yes, Lord of the Rings had been done by some guys in the previous semester. :(
Good thing I had a back-up plan.

I have to complete my homework assigned for tomorrow and maybe watch an episode or two of Doctor Who.
David Tennant brings back so many childhood memories.

Some pictures I couldn't resist taking. They're bright as hell, but were taken in relatively low light, at 10 pm.
My camera's fantastic!

No title available

Hopefully, I'll be getting a brand new sparkly (no, not really) camera quite soon, so that means...
*EPIC DRUMROLL*
that I will start making Vlogs.

I've already written 5 episodes, as I call them, because they aren't a Vlog per se, but a awkward hybrid between a video blog and a comedy episode. It's hard to explain, but it's going to be ridiculous, if not entertaining. So expect that.

I'm going to film more Let's Plays as well; thing is I'm short on time lately. And because of that, I'm going to re-write part of my homework (because the teacher wants some blank space on the left of the page to add comments and I forgot to do that) and play Mass Effect 3, maybe watch a couple of episodes of Doctor Who as well.

PS: For some reason there's a serious shortage of really awesome videos on YouTube lately. WHAT HAPPENED GUYS???

My camera is CRAP

My video camera is the worst piece of garbage that has even been made on Earth. The quality is absolutely horrendous. I just want to throw it out of the window. That's how pissed I am with it.
On the camera's tiny screen everything looks fine; but the moment I transfer the video files on my computer; boom, the screen is so grainy and the quality is the worst. I'm not exaggerating. It's THE WORST.
And this is why I can't make a vlog right now. Because there's no way I'm uploading that...thing.
Sad thing is I can't really afford an HD super expensive amazing camera, so I'll try using my mobile phone; hell I'm sure the quality will be a million times better than what my camera produces.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?


UPDATE: I'll either get one of those Flip cams or a fancy (yes affortable-ish) Canon. I actually want this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Canon-Powershot-SX240-Digital-Camera/dp/B0074K1JUE/ref=sr_1_7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1360913236&sr=1-7 , which is a little too expensive for me but I might ask my parents to contribute. Until then I can't really film anything that isn't of terrible quality.
