2010 IS ALREADY OVER WHAT

Let me see. Let's sum up the year.

January: Rush to get shit done for end of school seminar or whatever the fuck it was called. Learning about film every day. Working on Russian and Finnish every day as well. Listening to a lot of instrumental crap all the time and planning photoshoots that never happened. Not doing senior project stuff. Not knowing how to use my Canon. Getting used to Sarge in the house.

February: Hoover Dam. EKA Valentine's Day dance thing without a name. Minecraft, a lot of Minecraft and doing absolutely no work, since school was chill. A MONTH OF AWFUL MUSIC

March: 100 nuggets. A field trip that involved a spinning rock thing. We created the beautiful guitar in government class in March, I think. The one with A LOT written all over it, covered in stickers, with dicks drawn down teh sides, with rocks and old roast beef put inside of it. Scribblenauts. Holga pictures. Penny drive.

April: Kick-Ass, California, and Chinatown. Lots of Pokemon everywhere around the school. I couldn't afford Heartgold or Soulsilver so I just stuck to my Pearl game. I'm a car, batch of puppies, etc. Government was with Mr. Tyler. Race for the Cure, James' phone got stolen after he ran the race. Lots of attempted imporvement of my digital photography to no avail. The C key on my computer is broken for this entire month.

May: C KEY IS BACK. School carnival, Shakespeare everywhere, the senior trip happened, attempts to finish my senior project, we go crazy at the Iron Man 2 premiere, Brina's Hunter photoshoot in the wash happened.

June: Flag is done. James starts building Gundams. We create the experiment that's still in the backyard slowly rotting the plastic bottle away. CELTICS LOST BAWW. BBQ where everyone comes over. Got my Diana for graduation gift, and school is over forever. Got back into lolita after a three year break, this time sweet.

July: Changed my name to Poofer for a while. The Butterworths visited from North Carolina. Izzy got married and we saw her baby and ate out with our cousins. Inception everywhere. A girl called me a princess at the mall on my first time wearing full lolita and it made me quite happy. Re-watching MLP and fangirling out over Boba Fett for the first time since 10th grade.

August: House-sitting. Walking to iHop in the summer heat and wearing Fairy-Kei EVERY SINGLE DAY. Yellowjacket dream that is now in the works as a comic. Meteor shower in Jean. Revival of the GG roleplay, MORE shit music. South Park fandom.

September: ANIME FUCKING VEGAS WAS HILARIOUS. Rainbow white chocolate brownies, I was conceived there, Kenny my best friend and Inferno the son of the devil, walrus Miku, wanting to go to Yellowstone and never getting to go, housesitting for James' mom, hating the lawn, Guardians of Gahoole, MOSQUITOES.

October: Garage sale, drawing shit on the tablet, started working with my dad. Weird Renn Fair happened where we only got in for a day, ultra fairy-kei phase. Voted for the first time ever. Fremont Street, rewatching all LOTR movies, the opening of the bridge right by Hoover Dam. Uneventful Halloween of scary movies. New phone after my old one shits up. Helicopter shoots. Tita had a stroke but is recovering really well.

November: One-year anniversary with James is awesome. LONG-ASS GIANT TRANSFORMER CHALLENGE. Spent the month pretty much doing the TF challenge and taking pictures of my toys. Mom's birthday. Aviation Nation. Got hella sick from a slushie at LVAC. Started playing through New Vegas. Changed my name to Twinkletron, which I am finally satisfied with after going through like 10 names in the past 2 years.

December: Lots of shopping and trips to the Swap Meet. Christmas and birthdays all over the place. Rewatched all six Star Wars. Dark of the Moon preview when we went to see Tron that made me so happy. Fucktons of relatives over, rain and carpet flooding, winter cold, starting Dymaxion. Hard drive started failing earlier this month. AND THEN IT WAS TODAY.

Okay. Now on to my lists of favorite stuff from this year.

SHIT FORM 2010 THAT IS GENERALLY GREAT:Fucking Cactus Cooler, the greatest drink in the world. How did I not know about this stuff until this year? I know soda is bad for your teeth but I would gladly take this stuff over water any day. Also, Milky Planet in yellow. Fucking yellow prints make me so happy and Milky Planet gives me cavities just looking at it. I'm gonna have this print by mid-March, I swear.

MOVIES FROM 2010 THAT WERE GENERALLY GREAT:
Inception speaks for itself, it was badass and a mindfuck and the ending is great, it leaves a lot to the imagination. Secretariat was awesome too, maybe just because I'm still a huge horseback riding tard deep down even though I haven't ridden for more than a year. Still, I really enjoyed it.

ALBUMS FROM 2010 THAT WERE GENERALLY GREAT:I don't think I've listened to anything this year more than I've listened to Temporarity. Seriously, all the songs on this album are fucking fantastic. ILY Michael Cassette. Also, not only is Rocket great, the entire Head First album is. I put the cover for Rocket on here because it's still one of the best tracks on Head First along with Dreaming.

PICTURES I TOOK IN 2010 THAT WERE BETTER THAN THE OTHERS BUT STILL SUCK:YEP STILL SHITTY. However I am still quite fond of the hall picture, since that's the hallway from the shot of the 07 TF movie where all of the human actors are running down it.


WORST SHIT OF THE YEAR:

GIRL YOU'RE AMAZING
JUST THE WAY YOU
ARE
ARE
ARE
ARE
THE MOST WEENIE SONG TO EVER EXIST THANKS BRUNO MARS YOU GIGANTIC FAGGOT

END-OF-THE-YEAR HAREM:

Yep. This is pretty self explanatory. TFA Shockwave and Drossel of course, Grievous as well, Bridget and Boba for fucking ever, First Aid, Asuka, and Rinzler, whom is think is the only one I've added. I like how there's only one human being. :c Poor Buri.

I was going to make a chart like the 'harem' thing but with OTPs, but I realized that I haven't drawn any pages or pictures of Victor and Yes Man on the computer, so there goes that idea. D:

SHIT FROM 2010 I DON'T WANT TO FORGET:
"I told you Anakin's mom was fine."
Snake = Tarantula
I'm a car
TRAGIC CORN
Sweeping the dirt
BACOOON
Cash in the trash
Missing paper towels
"When are you gonna give James' underwear back?"
You can never be this '80s.
Glorious burando superior, Bodyline inferior thread on /cgl/
Yes sir, DIIIIIIICKS
45 minute battle with Cook Cook
He won the lottery
Mr House's $14 million prison break
You must blow the horn of Gondor
He doesn't want the eggroll
I cannot hear
You are a bug boy
Wolfman and Powerglide
Foliage-tinted beacon troupe and their excessive volition
A romantic dream of Terminators
SARUMAN ROWRF
Don't you need to curl your hair

I'LL PROBABLY ADD TO THIS LATER BUT I AM REALLY HUNGRY NOW.

HAPPY NEW YEAR BLOGGER. :D

fucking 19

Hory shet. Yesterday I turned 19, which is a year away from 20, which is EXTREMELY OLD. It was a super fun birthday too, I woke up and the morning and James sang happy birthday to me right off the bat, we watched TV and dicked around the house until my mom got home from work. I opened the little Rinzler before I was supposed to because I wanted to put him riding on Drift's shoulders (but his shoulders are FUCKING ENORMOUS OMG) on the counter. We all went out of eat at the Rainforest Cafe, where we met the Dickies and a shitload of the waiters and people came over and screamed HAPPY BIRTHDAY at the same time and gave me a sundae. We heard them do it to like 3 other people too, they get tons of birthdays there I guess. We walked around the MGM for a while becuase James has never seen the lions, before we went to the manget store and then drove home. I did my presents then, I got this awesome fairy tutu thing I've seen and wanted at the Swap Meet FOREVER along with a new MLP calendar from my mom, Brina got my there pretty purple loli-able earrings inside of this really cute earring holder that looks like a pink vanity. Revoltech Starscream fits perfectly with it. James got me Animated Bee and Blackarachnia which I have been wanting FOR FUCKING EVER EEEEE NOW I CAN DO LAME BLURR / BEE PHOTOS YAY~. My grandmother came over and bothered us forever late at night, she got me some chocolates that I like and Generations Cybertronian Bumblebee, who I could not transform for my life at that moment. We decorated my cake to look like G1 Soundwave in his cassette player form. After that we played around with all of the toys while we ate cake, James put tiny Rinzler down on the table and Brina made her robot tarantula climb on top of him so it looked like they were fucking, and James said something like "Don't let that snake fuck him". What. Then Rinzler became the doughnut king, James put one of his GI Joe dudes on top of BB's shoulders, and I stuck my Clone Trooper who was once the cake-holder next to my Transformers nativity scene onto Blurr's shoulders. Not only that, but I made mention on /cm/ that it was my birthday (still chillin' there because the Transfriday threads have stayed thus far, which is pretty amazing to me) and an anon there drew me an adorable little picture of Rinzler with a party hat on with a dry erase board wishing me a happy birthday. I felt so fucking happy when I saw it, even though I didn't want to mention 4chan habits here I just had to gush about it, it's one of the sweetest things an anon has done for me aside form a few requests on one of /co/'s drawthreads last year. At the end of the day I got super excited because I now have 2 for 1 tickets to the circus! Fuck yes, we are getting VIP seats. I fucking love the circus. Awesome birthday. :D

Then, the day before yesterday was Christmas, and TONS of people came over. We watched the Heat vs. Lakers game and at all sorts of good food. I had a giant pile of mashed potatoes with a lot of pepper on top. We opened presents, again I got a shitload of Transformers: Drift, Vector Prime OMG, Jetblade, as well as a lot of MLP stuff, tights, and a giant shitload of Fairy-Kei and lolita accessories from Japan that I've been waiting for. James was super happy when I gave him his new hat and Zelda Twilight Princess, and his face was hilarious whne he opened up the Enterprise my mom and sister bought for him. Brina loved her sunglasses and skirt and stuff and my mom hasn't stopped wearing the jewelry I got her. My aunt has been wanting the iPad case we got her for a while so she was happy with that, and I really don't think my Grandma even knows what we're getting her anymore but she was happy with all of it. Later, we ate dinner with my Dad and Laurie, and my dad's reaction to his helicopter was great. He's been wanting one for a long time now. Laurie really liked the bracelet my sister made and the cat charm we got for her, becuase I guess they just got a new cat that looks exactly like it. I had good chicken fingers and at the end of the day we watched Star Wars IV (which is the only one my mom has seen) and passed out happy. The day after Christmas we went to the mall to look for D&D stuff, and like 3 people commented on my wearing lolita (one was a fake talent agent who gave me her card, another was some random girl who just yelled "I like your lolita!", and another was this really nice girl in the food court who kept gushing over how cute my clothes where and how she wanted to steal me away and stuff, it was so nice). I swear if there's ever a self-esteem booster, it's lolita. With the money I got for Christmas I'm gonna go and get a new JSK, three pairs of tea parties, a new mint AP purse, socks, a Barricade toy and a fake doughnut, and Dreaming Macaron in yellow, only the skirt. If I had a bit more I'd also get a Milky Planet JSK in yellow, but I'm perfectly happy with what I got! My aunt even bought me new pajamas with Optimus Prime on the shirt. I pretty much look like a badass when I'm wearing them. I'll post the pictures I took tomorrow becuase I REALLY don't want to clear my memory card right now. You can see one of the pictures I took of Drift on Flickr, though. c:

ooooooo~!

Tomorrow is Christmas! Tomorrow is Christmas~~! I finally get my giant amount of hairclips and Spank! stuff, and Drift, and I get to give my mother that damn llama backpack. Too bad there's no Wii here, because I'd like to see James play the new copy of Twilight Princess I bought him (I've never seen a Zelda game played before, how late am I). Also, I want to see my dad's face when he gets this remote control battle helicopter thing. I will admit that I think it's the best present here right now, I want it pretty fucking bad too! I love that thing already. I just can't wait to see his face after he asked us for a small one!

Also, delicious Christmas Shockwave.

shit has happened.

I SAW THE PREVIEW FOR TF3 FUFUCKUFKCUFCK XFUC FUSUFSDJFF YEAH. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS UNTIL THEY SHOWED THE SHOT OF THE BIG SHIP ON THE MOON AND I LEANED OVER TO JAMES AND SAID "IT'S MEGATRON'S" AND THEN I REALIZED WHAT THE PREVIEW ACTUALLY WAS AND I WAS LIKE OH SHIIIIIIT.

It's been raining a lot here. A couple of days ago was James and Bri's birthday. We ate cake and I cleaned and jammed to Girls Generation all day long until people came over for presents and such. We made Offensive Monopoly even bettwe. Then I went with James back to his house, we ate pizza for his birthday, and saw Tron Legacy. Rinzler made me jizz my pants. I REALLY need to do Christmas shopping, the last minute stuff, before these 5 days are over. I guess I turn 19 in a week. Hopefully we'll go eat at the Cosmopolitan, I haven't been in there yet. I want to see the boatsplosion.

But really, I have been doing absolutely nothing; I'm sick with a cold so I've been trying to sleep it off. My computer keeps scaring the shit out of me as I write in my MLP+TF story work on this Victor/Yes Man thing (we heard the "when the hubby can't, the yes man can" commercial on the radio the other day, I lol'd out my fucking ass) by occasionally freezing. I hope it isn't dying.

I hope shipping hurries up so that Kaela will get my present. 8D

swap-meets and malls and shit

Yesterday and today have been crazy with Christmas shopping. I was desprately trying to find a white capelet at the mall so that I wouldn't be freezing when we go out for birthday dinners on the 15th, but apparently NO-ONE carries capelets, even in the girls section, which is usually the first place I check. I'll probably have to go to a bridal store to find one, but it'll be a lot more expensive there.

Today we went to the indoor Swap-Meet to shop for stuff for my mom, and I have completely run out of money. After shopping for Bri and James' birthday presents I literally only had a twenty dollar bill to spend. Luckilly, I get a lot more money from helping at this Christmas Party and working directly on their birthday. Sadly, that means running around shopping for everyone really close to Christmas itself. They might run out of everything before I can buy it!

Yesterday when we were at Target, I saw Durifuto on the shelf and James bought him for me as an early present. :D I'm not opening him until Christmas or my birthday, though. I seriously need to work on my character for the Fallout roleplay we're starting, the profile is sitting in a half-finished state and we all came up with the idea more than a month ago. If I feel in a draw-ey mood tomorrow I might start doing some Dymaxion sketches and designing the Yellowjacket guards (yeah, I'm actually making a short comic out of that dream 8D) and perhaps if the designs come up good enough, I'll put them on here. I figure if I want to have an art portfolio someday, I should start building one. I'm nowhere near being able to be an artist or anything, I just like to draw and I think it would be nice to have all of my decent drawing on one place. Maybe I could even be proud of it one day.

I really have nothing else to talk about, I just wanted to make an entry about pointless shit. :D

augh

Kaela. You have depressed me. c:

I saw that thing you posted on your blog- your bucket list, and I was like, "Oooh, so awesome, all that stuff is so inspirational, I WANNA DO ONE OF THOSE~", so I went and did one, AND MINE IS SO LAME.

DESU

mister taco bell.

My family has gone on vacation to Solvang, California so many times, I can't even count them. I love that little town so much, all of the Danish flags and pastries and adorable little shops and the horses everywhere. It's quiet and quaint and surrounded by rolling green hills full of wildlife. Every time I visit, I walk around thinking 'This place is so beautiful, I could live here forever'. And I keep thinking that until night falls.

Anybody who lives in Vegas knows the undying eternal rage of a store fucking closing. Well, in Solvang, when the sun goes down- whatever time that may be, EVERYTHING CLOSES. Their grocery store closes. What. The. Fuck. If you are born and raised here, there is NOTHING worse than seeing a closed sign. It means someone went out of business or something here. It's fucking enraging. What if someone needed to go buy Taco Bell at 2 AM or had to get some medicine at the store? Out of fucking luck if you don't live here.

I don't think I'll ever be able to live anywhere but Las Vegas because of this.

day thirty!! D:

DAY THIRTY: PARTING WORDS OR PHOTO.

NO WAIT WHAT. This is already over? D:
I was having so much fun with it. It gave me something to talk about every day and an opportunity to gush about TF for a month straight. Ah well. I have other posts and things to talk about I guess, even Transformers related stuff that didn't get a question on this challenge. I end today with Blitzwing, because I don't think I mentioned he and Astrotrain nearly enough during this challenge and they're some of my favorites~. Yay, I finished a 30 day challenge!! :D

day twenty-nine

DAY TWENTY-NINE: A CHARACTER YOU WOULD ERASE FOREVER.

Nope. c:
I hate some characters in TF, fucking Wheelie and Swindle and Spike Witwicky, but I don't want to erase any of them. It would just be too boring, and I love Transformers just the way it is.
There's really nothing else to say, but I feel like this post is short. Oh well. :D

day twenty-seven

I'm so worried about my hard drive failing! Yesterday my computer bluescreened for the second time in it's life (which is only about a year and a half) and even though I know lots of computers do this often, it still scares the shit out of me. Any time Windows says anything about "we were temporarily unable to read your hard disk drive" I start tearing my fucking hair out looking for my external drive to back up all my shit and running all the diagnostics I can. Sadly, Chrysalis' hard drive is only 140 gigs, which is better compared to Caterpillar's 80 gigs, but still small to me. Maybe, if I end up getting SmartHDD to work and I find out that this hard drive is failing, I'll buy a really big one, or ask for that for Christmas. Don't die on me Chrysalis, I don't want to have two little black Toshiba laptops laying behind my desk collecting dust. D:

DAY TWENTY-EIGHT: HOW YOU GOT INTO TF.

Well, I remember Beast Wars from when I was a little kid. Back then it was the most amazing thing I was seeing on TV- fucking 3D ROBOTS AND DINOSAURS AND ANIMALS AND SHIT. This was back when, as kids, my sister and I used to play games with animal stuffed animals and figurines all the time (lol My Little Pony), and we sort of hated playing with most human-looking toys. Then the 2007 movie came out and even though everyone hates it, it got me back into the fandom. From there I had to self-teach myself everything about Transformers, because I have no cool older borther or sister who watched geewun episodes to show me everyone and what they do. :[ But then I sort of got Bri into it, and that's why we have the commentaries of Revenge of the Fallen and A Decepticon in King Arthur's Court. We need to go a Golden Lagoon commentary right the fuck now.

DAY TWENTY-SEVEN: FAVORITE SUBGROUP.

I have no idea what this question actually means, but I'm gonna say the Rainmakers are sort of a "subgroup" of the Decepticons, and I love them. I want to see something about them in the future, and hopefully, like, names. Acid Storm is great and all but I want to know about his brothers too.

day twenty-six.

DAY TWENTY-SIX: A PAIRING YOU LOVE AND A PAIRING YOU HATE.

Since I think I've mentioned Blurr/Bee is my OTP forever quite enough times on here, I'm gonna post another one I love that doesn't get enough attention. DURIFUTO-KUN SO MYSTERIOUS and Perceptor is awesome too. :c It's actually gotten pretty popular lately as far as I can see, with the ammount of fanart at least. It still makes me laugh to know how many Japanese fanartists love Drift.

And I fucking hate Starscream and Skyfire/Jetfire/Whatever you want to call him. I don't even have a picture of those two except group or parody pictures because damn does that pairing bug the shit out of me. Probably just because I hate Skyfire though.
