Yeah I know I stole the title from an episode of Dark Angel, sue me. Or rather not, can i be sued for that??? Anyway Long time no talk I know but whatever I'm here now, and at 12:38 in the morning because I can't sleep. So before I say anything else I just want to point out the fact that on average now I'm getting about 500 hits a week now, which is highly impressive for me, but it makes me sad that no one is commenting, fix that please!
Now onto the important stuff, summer is boring, all it is so far is work work work and I'm getting really tired of all the stress that goes with it. My boss says that I'm too task oriented but since he isn't exactly the best closer I've ever seen, and since no one else bother to do anything on the floor, I'd rather go with "too task oriented" than "shit it's 9:30 pm and we're still not done with all this shit yet!". Anyone see my point?
Back to a few weeks ago; I heard that Doug Hutchinson from Lost got married, and to a 16 year old. Well done, you've just been added to the world's creepiest famous pedophiles list! Seriously, let's count the days until that blows up =).
Bad news for all Stargate lovers out there. I'm sure most of you have already heard about this but officially, Stargate is over and never to return; Brad Wright officially packed up his desk, ending 17 years of sci-fi greatness. The loss shall be mourned throughout the ages and we shall never see your like again!
Onto happier topics, my new book is well under way and seems to be shaping up better than I thought it would, it's got this whole vibe about the desperation of humanity and how hopefully, someday we may have some hope for our race.
This weekend (the 9th and 10th) was the STP, otherwise known as the Seattle to Portland Bike Ride, which I completed for the 2nd consecutive time, 200 miles in 2 days. And like I said on my Facebook wall, it was all undone in 4 hours on the drive home, whoohoo, that was energy well spent!
Oh and yeah! I get to finally go to New York this August! Can't wait to finally see everything there, I'm going to be a complete tourist and then I'm going to plot out where I want to get my first NY apartment, and then I'll go home to boring, safe, suburbia Mercer Island. Who knows, maybe I'll come to love boring, or maybe the whole living-in-a-high-crime-rate-area thing will appeal to me when I'm there in person...
Now back to sci-fi real quick. Warehouse 13 is baaaaaack, and Myka is tooooooooo, yayyyyy. I was so scared that she was really going to be gone for good, but thankfully she's not and this season she is hotter than ever, whoot!
And on a sadder note, I have to add another tv show to my unjustly canceled list. Sadly the amazing show, The United States of Tara on Showtime will not be returning this year, which sucks because the way they wrapped it up suuuuucked.
Ok that's all for now because I'm out of stuff to talk about. Hopefully only until I'll update again soon!

Wow That Didn't Take Forever or Anything
Ok well, since I've actually checked my stats and realized that people have ACTUALLy been reading this thing, I guess I should apologize for taking this long to update. Unless of course anyone who has read this has never come back again to see what I have to say, because in that case, I don't care that it took me this long =). Seriously though, life is part of the title of this thing, so yeah, I get busy and a blog is pretty much a recreational type of thing so it gets pushed to the bottom of the pile of things to do, directly following screaming to songs on youtube with sitting in my underwear (probably TMI right? But still as long as you don't use that mental image for any gross reasons, what do I care) since that always sounds more appealing than doing homework. But at least that's all done for now, school is out and well.... I hate it, so that's definitely a good thing.
So I'm probably going to forget all that I was going to talk about, but hey, every little bit helps right, and I'm sure I'll remember it for the next post so yeah. Starting off with all of my Game of Thrones fans, that was a pretty awesome season now wasn't it? Yeah it sucked watching Sean Bean and Jason Momoa die, but at the same time, dude it was epic!!! I'm glad Martin is in on the show because it's so awesome how it's sticking to the line of the story. Up to the point where he had his head lopped off, Sean Bean was the perfect Ned Stark, all honor and duty in the wrong time and place for it, bravo to him. Too bad being the good guy doesn't help you out at all in this show. Seriously, you get absolutely no points for it at all. Jason Momoa was great too, until he was put out of his veggie misery, excellent acting on Emilia Clarke's part for that BTW. And of course, having the season end with a nude shot of her is never a bad thing. Peter Dinklage and Kit Harrington were by far my favorites for this season, but we'll see about the next. Loved who they picked for Osha, but it's kind of embarrassing, for someone like me who watches tv and movies for a living, that it took me two whole episodes to realize that that was Natalie Tena who plays Tonks in the Harry Potter movies, duh. Loved Shae with her German accent, I mean come on GERMAN, where in the books does it ever mention that Shae had a German accent, it's ok prove me wrong and point out the chapter I couldn't be happier to be proven wrong here, but I think Martin could have done a better job on that one. Jamie was great, I've always loved Lena Headey and that one scene where she's screwing her cousin Lancel, always fun to watch. Oh yeah and I'm sure everyone loved the what 10 minute long lesbian sex scene? That was totally necessary to the plot line I'm sure, not that I wasn't amused by it. Bran was boring but I get it that he matters later (when will that ever happen I wonder), Rickon appears like twice in the whole season so he doesn't matter at all, Theon can just die now, save us all the trouble having to watch his ugly face for season 2, and gods above Tywin Lannister is already annoying as hell. I think the best part of the show will be when he gets shot on the toilet. But so far for me my favorite part about the ending of this season was Sophie Turner already helping me prove just how much of a pest Sansa is, that and the Hound being kind to her, and when poor Maisie Williams as Arya Stark as she starts her long string of transformations of characters starting with Arry the orphan boy. So that's a wrap for season 1, pretty frigging awesome, and I sincerely hope it only gets better from here.
Now on to Sci-Fi (because that's still how it's SUPPOSED to be spelled), season 3 of Sanctuary was not the best one ever but I liked it and now I'm sad I have to wait for it to come back. It was cool having a 20 episode season for once and I really enjoyed the hiatus, yeah that wasn't painful or anything).
Season 3 of Warehouse 13 is coming soon, and I hear that Myka is actually not returning, that they've got some new guy with like a built in lie-detector thing going on (reminiscent of Heroes or is that just me?), whatever, as long as Claudia remains I'm happy.
And Riese: Kingdom Falling, awesome for a show, but I hate webseries, they're never long enough and they take forever to come back once their "season" is over, I keep hoping it'll pull a Sanctuary effect and turn into a real boy show.
That's all I can remember to say about all of that. Back to me, I'm almost finished with high school physically but mentally I was done with it the first day I started. As it turns out going to college really isn't that much fun and I'm already looking forward to that aspect of my life being over =). My sister hasn't called me an Eagle Penis recently so that's always a good thing, and we've been having fun watching episodes of Battlestar Galactica for the last few days, the newer one, just because I've seen all the old ones doesn't mean I like them and couldn't go the rest of my life without having to watch Lorne Green ever again.
The only fun thing that seems to be coming up soon for me is this weekend with Seattle's Gay Pride Parade, and since I'm a member of the Starbucks family I get to be in the parade this year so ya for me there! And remember for all those Seattleites reading this (yes all two of you!) it starts at 11 am, be there or be square.
Ok I'm tired and bored now so I'll update again soon, I almost promise, because that's a real thing an "almost" promise.

P.S. just did a spell check and almost every single of the actor's names I just mentioned, along with all of their characters were apparently spelled wrong, gotta love that.

Everything Goes
Yeah, been a while since I posted and I'm sorry about that but school is a BITCH! But thanks to my long time away I have plenty to talk about.
Anyone see the pilot episode of Game of Thrones? Well I did and it was pretty good, it's always hard to adapt a book series into a tv show or movie, (example Harry Potter because that was a huge mistake, or Legend of the Seeker since the show diverged so completely from the books that they might as well have written the whole damn thing from scratch). I think that they did a freaking awesome job with Daenerys, not only is Emilia Clarke just as beautiful as I imagined Dany being, but so far she is doing a great of job of being Dany too. Plus I love the dynamic between her and Kahl Drogo (played by Jason Momoa, and by the way as much as I love him in Stargate Atlantis, DEFINITELY did not need to see his naked ass, next time I think I'm going to see it I'm just going to close my eyes). The only problem I had in the pilot was that the first night for Dany and Drogo was for me too much like a rape scene, in the book she wasn't exactly happy about having to sleep with the guy, but she was making the best of it and seemed to actually want to try and ahve a good time with it. In the scene in the show she was just such a crying mess that I just wanted to skip by it, but I guess that's just how the show writers liked to interpret the scene, whatever. Second episode though, SUCH an improvement, and great job with her slave fro Lys too, I thought that was well written and executed, although I don't like who they picked to play Irri and Jiquui and I think that they aren't going play much of a role in the show, not that they did in the books but at least they were somewhat functional as people in the story. And finally Drogo in the second episode, when is he going to talk? I'd like to hear at least something out of his mouth that I can understand before he gets nipple sliced and veggie-fyed in the head.
Now on to Tyrion, duuuuuude awesome job with Peter Dinklage! He is perfect as Tyrion if only a little better looking than I imagined Tyrion being, either way I'm sure he'll look right ugly enough when they eventually get around to hacking his nose off. Plus I love how sarcastic he is (something I myself can always appreciate) and how they are making the... dynamic , yes let's go with dynamic, relationship with his brother Jamie (despite their numerous flaws they actually seem to love each other as brothers, at least until they finally bring up Tysha in the show, you book knowers out their agree right?) and his hateful/spiteful one with Cersei, and how that all wraps up with Cersei hating him, loving Jamie, Tyrion loving Jamie and hating Cersei, and Jamie somehow loving them both. Despite all HIS flaws, at least Jamie was able to love both of his siblings and learned to just go with it, when he wasn't throwing little boys out windows for one, or accusing one's new wife of being a whore and raping her like one "for the good" of another. Yes, dynamic is definitely the right word to use.
Now on the rest of the cast, pretty decent job with Bran, where's Rickon by the way (hope they finally bring him fully into the picture soon), Sansa is just as annoying as in the book (and just like in the book can't eait for her to start living some hell and actually evolving into a decent and slightly less whiny human being), Arya and Jon are perfect can't wait to watch their respective journeys, and Ned and Catelyn too. Although dude, has Sean Bean gained some weight! What ever happened to the slim and hot Brit in Lord of the Rings, because it's painful enough knowing he's going to die soon, but it's something else entirely to have to watch him being fat too. And Cat is as whiny as in the books, can't wait for her to turn into Lady Stoneheart. But onto the bad stuff, Illyrio is boring, so I'm glad he's already out of the show's eye, the guy they picked to play Viserys just plain sucks, he looks weird and is not convincing as a self important beggar king, he's too much whiny boy not enough arrogance, please just spare us all and kill him already I kind of want to see how they do the molten crown scene. Cersei is cool and I love Lena Headey and all, but they need to start playing her up as the bitch we all know she is sooner rather than later, come on people we all knew she was a raving bitch from the first scene she was in, bring it to life! Robert is too boring and his accent isn't as gruff as it was alluded to in the book. And Theon and Robb, well all I can say about them is that their characters need work, and I can only hope for their future as characters on the show. That's pretty much all I can say until they start bringing in the rest of the cool guys in the book, can't say I'm not a little excited for the arrival of Brienne or Ser Flower-cape, ooh or the Unsullied, or any of that good stuff. And I can only hope that they just leave Davos out of the script all together since I NEVER saw his importance anyway and mostly just read his chapters since they were on the way to the good ones, and I never was entirely sure that he wouldn't became plot relevant, too bad I wasted my time since he never DID.
Ok well this post just turned out to be a review of Game of Thrones, oops. Oh well I had fun and maybe this will be a nice read for a certain demographic.
Tata for now!

Just Shoot Me Now
So I was feeling pretty bored and decided to listen to that wonderfully inept song that we all know, "Friday" by Rebecca Black. And I'm just going to start of with how STUPID it sounds, it's like yeah we get it, you couldn't figure out what to write so you turned a diary entry into a song. But thanks to you Miss Black, I now hate Fridays, they used to be my favorite day of the week, but alas I am ow doomed to be forever thinking on every single Friday that "yesterday was Thursday.... tomorrow is Saturday, and Sunday comes after that". Seriously, just shoot me now and get it over with because I just heard that she is going to be working on her debut album which means that while today we may be lucky enough not to have to listen to her on the radio, tomorrow we may not be so fortunate. I dread the day that I turn on the stereo and I have to hear that girl's voice come out of it. And when I think about it I can only wonder how many car crashes in the future will be the result of spontaneous seizures due to accidentally listening to her sing for more than ten seconds while driving.
The only thing, that for me, makes it a little bit better, is that for the life of me I cannot remember that her first name is Rebecca, yesterday when I started this post, and then fell asleep at my desk and accidentally erased it, I called her Melissa Black like 30 times which makes me laugh for some pathetic reason. but maybe it speaks of hope for our future in which her entirely creepy jump/rise to fame will immediately die out and no one will remember anything about her, like the fact that she is living proof that when your parents have enough money you truly can do anything (including ruin a country, yes an entire country), much less remember her name.
But on a happier note, the reason why I fell asleep last night before finishing my post (and ending falling asleep on my backspace key) was because I waited until 11ish to finally watch the season finale of Merlin on Syfy (still hate that whole "syfy" thing, just proves that people are idiots and need to spell things a certain way or they won't remember how to pronounce them correctly) yes I know, yet more proof that I watch too much tv, and WAY too much sci-fi (see the PROPER way to spell it). Anyway, loved it, thought it was great, and even though when the show first started and I hated it because it was so dissimilar from the Arthurian legends that I love, it's really grown on me and I loved how they brought the Knights of the Round Table into being, thought that was pretty cool.
Oh and to go from there, does anyone know the Song of Ice and Fire series, anyone at all? Well I do, and the first book the Game of Thrones is now the name of the tv series that's coming out next week or so on HBO and it looks AWESOME! It's got like seriously all of my favorite actors, from Lena Headey to Peter Dinklage, even Jason Momoa (whom all you Sci-fi freaks like me should remember from Stargate Atlantis, he played Ronan, the "caveman" as McKay liked to nickname him) I even saw one of the little promo videos they did where they interviewed the actors over their respective parts, and Momoa is playing Khal Drogo (did I already mention this in an earlier post? I feel like I did.) and I looove Khal Drogo I thought he was awesome until well SPOILER ALERT he died, which sucked huge balls. But until that happens on the show it will be nice to see a beloved Sci-fi actor playing another cool part, and for me it'll be even more happy news because sadly I have come to realize in the last few years that once you do Sci-fi anything, you tend to get pigeon-holed and can't ever do anything else, maybe Momoa playing a part on HBO means that some day I will be able to see him on other stuff instead of occasionally watching him guest star on other Sci-fi shows like so many other actors that I love have been forced to do. Wow that sounded a bit melodramatic.
Hmph well despite my wandering mind I have nothing else to talk about for now, so I guess that's it. Talk to all latter.

Nerves
Gaaaaaaah (yes that is a word, maybe I should write up a specialized dictionary just for this blog so that everyone will know what I'm talking about or something....) anyway where was I? That's right!
Gaaaaaaaaah, so when I was a kid I had this disgusting habit of biting my nails, so I never had the pretty nails like all the other girls in my school, but that never really bugged me or anything. The only thing that was a problem for me was that I had the ugliest hands a girl can ever have. There's like no fat on them at all, which some may consider a good thing but alas I do not. The lack of mentioned fat means that since I seem to have abnormally huge knuckles from The Thing or something like that, my fingers are just not pretty and look misshapen, it sucks. My semi-supportive friends in this matter have told me that it's not really that bad, but then I point out to myself that they all have normal human hands and not something out of the Sci-fi channel (the old one back when it was a real world and not "syfy" seriously what the hell is up with that). Anyway back to the nail biting thing. Back then when it was only my nails/hands that were ugly I didn't really let it bother me if I could help it, but then when I finally convined my parents that I was blind, I got glasses. And then a year or so after that I got braces. And when you add bad hands to glasses, to braces, and then add it all to the unfortunate boyish habits I had had which meant a bad haircut and seriously untamed eyebrows. Yeah NOT a good combination. Thankfully starting around the end of middle school I started making a change. I couldn't do anything about the braces (or I guess it was pre-braces at the point since the real ones didn't come until the summer before high school started for me) but I could get contacts. And with the contacts came eyebrow maintenance. Then it was actually doing something to my hair, which meant that I let it start to look like a girl's and stopped dying it unfortunate shades of blond (seriously I dyed it like 6 different shades at the same time in different places, I thought it was a cool "motley" look, needless to say I didn't have to dress up for Halloween).
And finally after that I discovered fashion, or at least sort of, I still have days like yesterday for example when I just throw anything on, I don't even bother to see what it is. And thankfully not long after that it was makeup. Now of course, since I have a sense of my type of style, people think I'm a darker person, but I assure you non-existent readers, I'm actually a perky and amazingly fun person. I just wear a lot of black eyemakeup and only tend to wear black, gray, and occasionally white (when mixed with black or gray) clothes, jackets, or shoes. Oh and I dye my boring brown hair (that used to be a cool red but sadly the lack of sun had ruined that for me) blackish, it's really just a very dark brown but I say black because I'm just that kind of person.
Anyway sort of back on topic, not really I'm trying to talk about my nails, but I have to get through this first so I can get to my point. Thankfully the day before my picture for sophomore year I got my braces off (YAY) and even though they really hurt, my teeth were nice and straight for what was my first good school picture since I was a little girl who might as well have been a doll since my mom liked dressing me up so much (I'm talking like 3-7, because 7 was when I finally decided to start wearing what I wanted to and then came the tomboy, and then all the broken bones and unfortunately placed scars started to appear). The only good thing about those god awful pieces of metal was that they made it impossible for me to bite my nails at all, and so my habit was broken for me, my willpower had nothing to do with it. And so since then I have been pretty cool with how I look and I liked having regular girl nails, the only good part about my hands, despite the fact that I can't paint them since food health laws forbid me to wear nail polish and deal with food at the same time.
But then the last month or so happened. Stress started to kick in, my grades started to matter, I had to come to terms with the fact that my senior project isn't going anywhere so I should really get going on ideas for it. So before I knew it, I was biting my nails again, and not like before, now I am biting them down to the quick, and it HURTS dude. I mean ouch, my poor fingertips are all red and painful and it hurts to touch stuff, and even type (but I put the good of maybe two uninterested readers above my own pain), and to make matters worse today I did my usual drop-my-backpack-off-onto-one-arm-and-then-put-it-on-the-ground thing. The result of that was I accidentally let my little pinkie finger get stuck in the strap on the way down and one little defintie crack later, I had a broken pinkie finger. And since those finger cast things are a joke I just wrapped it with about 10 band-aides (which hurt like a bitch just so you know, since I decided to do it in a moving car at the time). So YEAH, not a good day for the hands...
Oh well I have most definitely done worse.... a LOT worse, but trust me you don't want to hear about all the incredibly stupid things I have done to my poor body (ok that sounded a liiiiittle wrong).
But now I have to go because, well to tell the truth my fingers are really starting to hurt, and what I said earlier about putting the good of the readers above my own pain, right now I take it back. I need ice, and I need some Stargate and Off the Map therapy. Why do homework when you really don't want to? See, my logic is undeniable and you know it.
By the way, if I have to add Off the Map to my list of unjustly canceled shows I may have to go strangle a certain NBC executive...
Ok ta ta for now, I hope my completely annoying and useless to the world story provided at least SOME temporary entertainment for you.
Love Lys.
P.S. I know I didn't do that sign off correctly but to be honest I don't care =), anyway, I'm a junior in high school, but as a sign that the techno age is really starting to break down some fundamentals of education, I never write letters by HAND so I just learned today that you're supposed to put the whole "Sincerely, John" thing waaaaay over to the right at the end of the letter. Now how many of you people who are my age knew that? Because I was like, "go figure?"
Ok now I'm leaving... OW MY FINGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gaaaaaaaaah, so when I was a kid I had this disgusting habit of biting my nails, so I never had the pretty nails like all the other girls in my school, but that never really bugged me or anything. The only thing that was a problem for me was that I had the ugliest hands a girl can ever have. There's like no fat on them at all, which some may consider a good thing but alas I do not. The lack of mentioned fat means that since I seem to have abnormally huge knuckles from The Thing or something like that, my fingers are just not pretty and look misshapen, it sucks. My semi-supportive friends in this matter have told me that it's not really that bad, but then I point out to myself that they all have normal human hands and not something out of the Sci-fi channel (the old one back when it was a real world and not "syfy" seriously what the hell is up with that). Anyway back to the nail biting thing. Back then when it was only my nails/hands that were ugly I didn't really let it bother me if I could help it, but then when I finally convined my parents that I was blind, I got glasses. And then a year or so after that I got braces. And when you add bad hands to glasses, to braces, and then add it all to the unfortunate boyish habits I had had which meant a bad haircut and seriously untamed eyebrows. Yeah NOT a good combination. Thankfully starting around the end of middle school I started making a change. I couldn't do anything about the braces (or I guess it was pre-braces at the point since the real ones didn't come until the summer before high school started for me) but I could get contacts.

How Did I forget?
How the hell did I forget to mention this???
BLAINE KISSED KURT. I don't care if this makes me a Glee freak, I am just so extremely happy that they kissed I have been waiting for a gay teenaged couple on tv and not only did they kiss... but it was a REAL kiss not some stupid peck. It was awesome and I loved it.
Ok that's all.
