Nerdiness of May

I really should be blogging more often... Maybe I should start mobile blogging?

Anyways...

Harry Potter. Skyrim. ANTM. Mad Men. Writing. Alice Cooper. Tim Burton. The Avengers.

Harry Potter. I don't know how it happened. But suddenly I started hanging out a lot at FanFiction.net reading Dramione and Drarry, there has been one Ginny/Neville too and a really weird one involving Snape/Draco... Can't say that I want to stop reading them with a straight face. The most fun ones to read are the ones rated Mature. Yes, I'm dirty, it's not like I'm trying to hide it. Okay, I was lying. I know how it happened. I got into my head that I should just check out the FanFiction section of the forum at that Swedish community... I read some and then it got advanced... This is nothing new. I used to read fanfics all the time at hogwarts.nu. Either I was simply younger at the time or they were better writers at hoggy... I got bored with the fanfics at the forum and decided to go pro :P

Skyrim. I haven't really played that much, but I decided to go somewhere else for a while and try to get past that troll later. So I've been clearing out some bandit nests ever since. Now it seems like I'm in over my head again as I stumbled upon a camp of mage apprentices. You can't use my own weapon against me?! So not fair! *pout* ;) But I had a lot of fun when I was working on defeating that Necromancer as a way of helping a guy...  I failed the optional directive of protecting the guy so he died in the process... But I did defeat the Necromancer and got to kick some dead guys' asses too :P

ANTM. Saw the finals today. You remember me saying that my favourites were Azmarie and Sophie? Well, Azmarie was kicked out pretty early because of her "too cool for school"-attitude and then I could focus solely on Sophie who just kept winning me over every time. I was so happy for her success when she became the face of "Rude is Nude" and when she booked all her go-sees. But I was seriously doubting that she would win since she's a Brit. But the ANTM judges proved me wrong and she won! Sophie won! Yay! :D

Mad Men. Sad to say but Mad Men is getting boring. Last season was awesome and now it's just blah. What happened?! I keep watching the show just for the sake of it, but honestly... I guess the fact that Peggy quit is the only really big thing that will happen in this season?

Writing. Yes, I did start looking at my writing again. I have whole scenarios in my head for my main story I just need to get them into print and I also need to get to those scenarios story-wise. It's going very slowly...

Alice Cooper. I am not kidding when I say that I really really wanted one of these and that I was so very happy when my boyfriend actually bought me one. I also finally came around to buying five of my favourite Alice Cooper albums: Constrictor, Brutal Planet, Dragontown, Dirty Diamonds and Welcome 2 My Nightmare. I already had Trash, Hey Stoopid and Along Came a Spider before and now this lands my grand total of Alice Cooper albums on 8 :) I'm getting there ;)

Tim Burton. Toni showed me a movie by Tim Burton that I hadn't even heard of before. It was called 9 and it was super-cute, kind of steampunky and really good. My favourite characters being 7 (ofc) and then 3 and 4 :P Then ofc we went to the premiere of Dark Shadows. It wasn't awesome, it clearly wasn't one of the best movies he's done, but it wasn't bad and complete crap either. All on all I liked it and the ending promises a sequel :D And pointing back at my recent Alice Cooper hype... I had no idea Alice Cooper was going to be in Dark Shadows. When the ingress was rolling and it ended with "with Alice Cooper" I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. "Did you know about this?" "No! *huge smile*"

The Avengers. We went to see The Avengers on the premiere as well. I haven't laughed so hard at the cinema in ages. It was so hilarious. The crowd was so geeky and we applauded and laughed so many times. I could see it again at the cinema. So worth it. Also some of the scenes were hilarious like this one. And I still can't stop laughing to "Puny god". "Your brother just killed 80 people in 4 days." "*shrug* He's adopted."

Notice the fact that Diablo 3 isn't on this list. Why? Cause I just can't bother with linear MMO-RPGs that I'll suck at anyway.

This is me right now


I just wanna scream and lose control
Throw my hands up and let it go
Forget about everything and run away
I just wanna fall and lose myself
Laughing so hard it hurts like hell
Forget about everything and run away

Nerdiness of April

Harry Potter. Skyrim. The Sims 2. ScaryGirl. Plants vs Zombies. Rayman. Game of Thrones. Mad Men. ANTM. No Ordinary Family. Nightwish. Music.

Harry Potter. It will be a bigger thing when that name won't appear on my list of nerdiness... Although this month there hasn't been a lot. Sure I've been hanging out at that Swedish community as per usual. I've looped this video a few times. I showed this video to Toni and he can't seem to get it out of his head (hilarious). Oh and yes Pottermore opened for everyone. I got Love into making an account just to see which House he would get sorted into and he turned out a Slytherin. Well, he could fit into any House. Then Kajsa decided to make a new account because she was so displeased with ending up in Slytherin (she really doesn't fit in there) and redo the Sorting Hat test. She ended up in Hufflepuff exactly as she wanted to and was really happy about it xD I'm satisfied with being in Slytherin. Because of all the hype around Pottermore opening I ended up making a few potions again.

Skyrim. So I finally got my stuff together and tried out the game. I really like it :D Although now I'm stuck, which is somewhat good timing cause I need to write that dissertation anyway. But I'll probably have to do a few sidemissions before going back to the main one cause I can't seem to get past that troll that blows me to pieces in two hits.

The Sims 2. I've gotten a little tired of it. But I still play at times. My Japanese family recently had twins. Other than that I have nothing new to report.

ScaryGirl. I've played through the demo twice now and I really like the game. I'm actually considering to buy it, but I'm not sure. Why? Cause I find the demo somewhat difficult (I suck) and I think the full game would really be something I would just rage quit on. Somewhat like Alice Madness Returns...

Plants vs Zombies. Playing through the game on my DS. It's a little different feeling from being used to playing it on the PS3. However I still like the game, but I feel a little rusty. Gotta get more practice! Didn't have enough time last time, my DS died on me...

Rayman. I've completed about 20% of the game on my DS which is the furthest I've ever come. But I'm doubting that I'll get much further. As mentioned before I'm kind of sucky at games although I love playing.

Game of Thrones. This series is so goddamn awesome! Tyrion and Daenerys are my favourites. Can't wait til next episode. It bothers me a bit that each season is only 10 episodes long, but at least that's better than BBC's Sherlock which is only 3 episodes per season.

Mad Men. The new season doesn't have me starstruck like the other ones did. I hate Megan. I want to see more Sally. I watch with glee and malice how Betty struggles. And just the sight of Sterling bothers me. And is it only me or does Don seem a little boring in this season? And it needs more Joan!

ANTM. This season is getting interesting. Could it be that America's Next Top Model is a Brit? That would be so awesome. I was very disappointed when Azmarie was sent home but Sophie keeps getting more and more awesome. And I think I'm getting attached to Alisha as well.

No Ordinary Family. Finished the first and only season. A second season of this series would've been so awesome. The series really improved in the second half of the season and it could've gotten really great if it was only allowed to conitnue. Americans just don't know what good TV is, if they did all the good series wouldn't be discontinued. Yes, I'm looking at you Heroes and Firefly.

Nightwish. The concert three weeks ago was just amazing. I was really tired when writing the review and it turned out really crappy. But honestly, the Nightwish one felt so much more amazing than the Within Temptation one. I keep hoping that Nightwish will be one of the final names to be revealed for Metaltown. I want them there so bad.

Music. There has been so much music lately. I'm completely stuck at a bunch of groups now. My post The past hour shows this pretty well. Stone Sour, KoRn, Staind, Sixx:A.M., Alice Cooper, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, The Pretty Reckless, Avenged Sevenfold, Skid Row, Mr. Big, Mötley Crüe, Guns n' Roses, KISS, Nightwish, Within Temptation, Lordi... The list keeps on going and I just want more and more and more...
