New Found Love, WoW, NaNoWriMo 2011, Work

2011-10-11T10:10:00.001-04:00

I have fallen in love...again. It happened when I bought the X-Men: First Class DVD and watched it for the first time in the living room with Mom. See, there's this actor in it (a bunch actually) and he caught my eye. His name is James McAvoy, and he played Charles Xavier. I have liked the previous X-Men movies (though I think I've blocked out 3 and never watched the Wolverine one) and have quite

Camp, Typing and Guild Stuff

2011-07-06T18:57:00.000-04:00

If you’ve noticed the new badge on the side of the site (or you know me in real life), then you know that I am participating in the first ever Camp NaNoWriMo this month. It is very slow going as I am learning to touch type Dvorak at the same time. I know where all the letters are now, but my typing speed is around 15 words per minute, and that is hella slow. So my writing is going crazy slow and

Paladins are Still Fun!

2011-06-19T04:06:00.000-04:00

A little over a month after my post about starting to play my level 33 paladin again, she is 85. Not only is she 85, but the game keeps trying to put her into heroic dungeons and I don't think I'm ready for that. I need to be completely comfortable on regular dungeons on her before moving up to heroics. That's why only my priest and warlock have ventured into heroics so far (and excelled) even

Paladins are Fun!

2011-05-10T01:14:00.000-04:00

Started playing my level 33 Paladin last night after a guildie asked about holy paladin rotation. And I haven't really stopped. I've healed several dungeons and I'm now level 41 (and well on my way to 42). I enjoy smacking things while healing my group...a lot. I'm leveling pretty quickly for being at it a day. Probably has something to do with all the heirlooms she's wearing.Well, more leveling

CATACLYSM!!

2011-05-07T20:28:00.004-04:00

First off: please excuse any horrible spelling errors in this post. I'm having trouble typing tonight. I'm pretty good at catching my mistakes , but it's like my fingers don't want to cooperate with me tonight (5 typos caught and corrected already). I know it's been a while since Cataclysm dropped, but it you've read this blog you know that I often forget about this blog for months at a time.So,

Cataclysm Resolutions

2010-12-07T01:07:00.000-05:00

Am I definitely the nerdiest nerd any where if I decide to make a resolution on Cataclysm Day? I have rediscovered the Wii Fit. With Cataclysm coming out today (and being available for play in two hours here in Maine), I want to promise to play the Wii Fit at least half an hour a night. I am not an unhealthy, actually I'm still firmly in the healthy weight and BMI spaces. But I would like to be a

4.0.3a Impressions Part One: Mostly the Alliance Part.

2010-11-24T02:55:00.004-05:00

4.0.3a Impressions Part One: Mostly the Alliance Part. NOTE. This post is full of spoilers for the World of Warcraft Shattering. If you don't want to know about the Shattering, or how I feel about the changes, then you probably shouldn't read this. Also, I'm writing this in my NaNoWriMo document and counting it as part of my NaNo word count, so this post is long and in some places uses a lot of

Bargaining Already?

2010-11-04T03:11:00.003-04:00

It's day four of NaNoWriMo, and I am already resorting to bargaining to get myself to do my writing. As of right now I have written 4,540 words. I promised myself that if I made the day three word count goal (5001 words) and did my homework before going bed tonight I would buy myself the Celestial Steed for WoW. I will finally have my sparkle pony. I submitted my homework over an hour ago, and

Loremaster Update 01

2010-10-12T20:54:00.001-04:00

Gnavie completed the achievement "Loremaster of Northrend" last night.I also remembered my great disgust for Icecrown. So many group quests. I got my ass kicked several times and I had to pick carefully to avoid as many group quests as I could (because there were so few people willing to help).

NaNoWriMo 2010 Version and Loremaster

2010-10-03T23:37:00.000-04:00

The NaNoWriMo website has been reset for 2010. The forums are new (but definitely not neglected, it's only been aday or two and already there are threads everywhere) and everything looks all shiny and pretty. It's almost NaNo time!!I've decided to attempt the Loremaster achievement on Gnavie. She's completed two zones in Northrend and will work through the rest of Nothrend and all of Outlands

Doodlegazing in Azeroth

2010-10-01T02:23:00.000-04:00

I've done a bunch of puttering around WoW today. I played a bit on the warlock I started on the PTR. I also tried to play a little on the copy of Aevelyn that I put on the PTR, but I kept getting booted off and having to relog. That got old pretty fast. I ran a random heroic on Gnavie and ran heroic Halls of Reflection. I really want the Shriveled Heart off hand that drops, but it hasn't dropped

Back to WoW

2010-09-29T16:07:00.000-04:00

It's been a while since I really played WoW. Night before last, though, I ran 25 ICC on my warlock. I did HM Gunship and got Nibelung. I've also been working Brewfest on my three 80s and today I finished it up and got the title on all three. I spent last night doing some farming ad flask making on my druid. I put the flasks on the AH and made about 350 gold very quickly. I did some more farming

Old Spice Commercials

2010-09-23T01:14:00.002-04:00

Hopefully everyone has seen this Old Spice commercial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owGykVbfgUE But before that was awesome, I loved this commercial. It's also for Old Spice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TusJ8HSLaUs I really enjoy Old Spice's commercials. I think they're onto something.

Nanolyser

2010-09-23T01:05:00.001-04:00

Found this site via the NaNoWriMo website and wanted to share it. It's called the Nanolyser. To see what it does the following is a link to my stats from last year. It'll only be there for a couple more days though (until the NaNo site goes down on the 1st): Leviathan's Nanolyser Stats. Also I am watching/listening to the following video on repeat while writing this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?

It Really Is Coming Up Soon

2010-09-23T00:30:00.000-04:00

After my post last night about starting to prep for NaNoWriMo 2010 it was surprising to me to get an e-mail today from my regional ML. It reminded everyone in the region that come October 1st, the NaNoWriMo website will be shut down and come back all shiny and new, ready for this year's NaNo. In a little over a week the forums will start to fill with people getting pumped for this year's

Mentally Preparing Myself for NaNoWriMo 2010

2010-09-21T23:24:00.003-04:00

I'm starting my NaNoWriMo preparations early this year (earlier than a week before, like the past two years, though definitely not as early my first year when I had the whole novel planned out before the month began). I am preparing by reading tons and tons. I'm speeding my way through "The Dresden Files" series. I'm on the fourth book right now, Summer Knight, and I started reading them just

Fall Cleaning: Like Spring Cleaning, But Better

2010-09-20T00:13:00.001-04:00

Been doing a bit of fall cleaning around the blog. Haven't dropped by in a while and took the time tonight to play around with the new (or newish, it's been a while since I've posted) Blogger design tools. Went through and deleted all the comment spam that's been stacking up. There are really nice features for that now too. I got to look through all the comments ever posted and delete all the

Test Post

2010-09-19T23:54:00.003-04:00

This is a test post from my phone to my blog. It's a cool concept and maybe I'll post more often this way.

Homework Revised

2010-07-21T16:10:00.004-04:00

For my first homework assignment this week I had to pick a favorite design from the ten I made last week and tweak it even further. I chose to work with number two. I made the word "Kingslayer" bigger, so that it is a bigger part piece.

Oh God, I Need Sleep

2010-07-17T05:05:00.005-04:00

It's 5am, and I have to be at work at noon. I just finished and submitted a homework assignment that was due last night. I started at 10pm when I got home, and have been working on it since then. I'm not really sure how to explain the assignment because right now even typing and spelling are hard for me. So I'll just put my ten pictures in here and leave it at that.The small font (verdana 4pt)

On Being Guildless

2010-06-10T00:03:00.008-04:00

Last night while my main server was down, my Guild Leader was talking about disbanding the guild because he's been so frustrated with our lack of progression in ICC.I didn't think anything of it and I was tired so I went to bed.This morning when I woke up and logged on, I found that everyone of my characters had been kicked from guild.This wasn't just some random guild for me. I helped pick the

I'm A Dork and I Get Bored Sometimes

2010-06-05T23:55:00.007-04:00

I'm A Dork. My druid has finally made it to level 80. I was so excited when she dinged last week, but then didn't get to play her at all over the weekend after. She's still wearing pretty shitty gear, but I think I'm doing okay as a healer. It's my first non-dps toon to make it to 80 (and my 3rd 80 total). I've healed all the lvl 70-80 instances (except for Halls of Reflection) on regular, and

Would I Be Any Place But Behind?

2010-04-05T11:47:00.002-04:00

I am behind on my Script frenzy script. This is neither surprising nor troubling for me. I should have 15-20 pages by now. I have 4.I'e been trying to balance writing and WoW playing and apparently I'm not doing too well at it. I've been spending time on WoW, because our guild's going through a bit of a change and I don't want to miss out on anything.Eventually though, I will get some writing

Quick WoW Note

2010-04-01T02:13:00.004-04:00

Aevelyn, my lovely destro lock hit 80 on January 30, 2010. I switched her to affliction to get better dps out of her, but with 3.3.3 she was able to go back to destro. She's not really amazingly geared, but she's been into ICC a couple times and can run any other raid that I feel like. My DK,name-changed from Cylana to Melaenah, has been doing a lot of nothing. I got on her last week for the

Script Frenzy Has Begun!

2010-03-31T23:32:00.003-04:00

I haven't written anything except a transition and a scene heading, but Script Frenzy has begun! I'll confess that I have no idea what I'll be writing except that it will be Psych fanfic. I've been so immersed in watching Psych the past few weeks that there's no way it could be anything else. I also have a page of detailed notes on my desk in front of my monitor that I took while reading the "

Script Frenzy: I Didn't Suffer Enough Last Year

2010-03-30T14:33:00.005-04:00

This won't be a long, or very well formatted post because I'm on my phone and apparently all the editing it does when I text is not something that carries over to using safari. Also, it won't turn on its side so that the buttons are bigger.Anyway, I remebered last night that Script Frenzy is in April, and decided that I would give it a try once again. There should be a link on the side to the

Aevelyn Is Leveling

2010-01-11T02:18:00.004-05:00

This is the first of probably many very geeky posts here. Not that most of my posts aren't geeky anyway.Aevelyn is the first character I made on my real WoW account. I made others on the trial, but Aevelyn is the one I leveled to 56 to open up Death Knights. Since then I had abandoned Aevelyn to play my plate-wearing damage taking DK. Now that my DK is 80 and pretty well geared and runs heroics

The First Post of 2010

2010-01-04T00:45:00.004-05:00

It's 2010 and so much has happened since I last posted here, and yet there's not much about those months that I feel like sharing. There is some though, so here it goes.I won NaNoWriMo for the third time in November. I updated the side bar to have the 2009 winner banner. I had to write 14k on the last day to win it, but I did do it.I am still very much a fan of Heroes, Star Trek and Zachary

Guess What Time It Is?

2009-10-24T00:44:00.004-04:00

It's almost November again, and I am gearing up for NaNoWriMo once more. This will be my third year participating, and hopefully my third win. I've been fleshing out a plot and main character to start writing about next week when November begins.This year I promise to not promise to keep this blog up to date on my writing progress. After two years saying I will and then not doing it, even I know

Still Alive

2009-09-14T00:45:00.005-04:00

Still alive over here. Not too much has changed. I'm still very into Star Trek. I've watched The Original Series and the first 4 movies (as well the Star Trek XI). I've watched all of Heroes now and enjoy it very much. My love for Zachary Quinto is still strong. As is my love for Leonard Nimoy. I just finished watching an older show called Jake 2.0. It was very cute. A lot like Chuck.Work's going

My New Desktop, and the Wallpapers I Am Currently Using

2009-06-01T01:57:00.006-04:00

My big birthday present from my parents this year was a desktop computer. I bought myself a fancy new monitor to go with it as well.I am using the wallpaper below on my new desktop and bigass monitor. It was made by someone NOT me.The wallpaper below this one is the one I made for my laptop monitor. I love it very much.If you see some kind of theme with these wallpapers, I have no idea what

Zachary Quinto, Why Are You So Cute?

2009-05-21T04:06:00.004-04:00

The following video is of Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto on Saturday Night Live. They are on to speak about the new Star Trek movie, which I loved. Also, Leonard Nimoy is pretty full of awesome as well.

Another Blog...Really?

2009-02-26T01:25:00.004-05:00

No, not really. I don't plan on using it. I swear. I made a blog at Posterous (this one is mine: http://gotnothin.posterous.com/) to see what it was like. The layout of mine is apparently the only one available. I really like it though. It's very clean and neat. It's something I may emmulate when I finally redesign Excited-Geek again (which hopefully will be soon).Well, I have to work tomorrow,

Psych, Leverage and Dollhouse

2009-02-22T06:57:00.005-05:00

I tried to find Psych on USA's website and also on Hulu last night. Then I finally gave up waiting and found it through surf the channel. The episode was spectacular. I spent the entire episode with my heart thumping wildy, eyes glued to the screen. The second time through I didn't the same rush, but it's still one of my favorite episodes of television ever. Everything about it is spot on. The

It Worked.

2009-02-15T21:44:00.004-05:00

It actually worked. After I finished writing that post I ended the emo time and had a great time at Ryan's Dr. Horrible Pot Luck. I discovered that there are Wiccan subtitles on the Dr. Horrible DVD. They're not very substantial, though we didn't watch them all, only like five minutes.

I Hate Being Down

2009-02-15T16:19:00.003-05:00

I'm feeling really down right now, and it sucks. I hate feeling like this. Tonight is my last night visiting here and I want it to be awesome. But instead I feel like I'm about to cry.So I am declaring that now is the end of emo time. As Barney Stinson said, "When I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead. True story." Yeah. That's how I'm rollin'. Now I am awesome...because I say so.

In the 802.

2009-02-12T22:38:00.005-05:00

So, now I'm out of the 207 and back in the 802. I missed it so much here. I'm staying with my friends in room 607. Two of them are Melissa and Carissa (formerly the 303 girlz, though I haven't changed the tag here. I like it as it is). We're hanging out and watching Chuck. I'm shadowing Mo in E-Commerce tomorrow morning, so I should get to sleep pretty soon. I just don't want to go to bed yet. I

I forgot to but them on before printing, so I'll just write them on. I skimmed itas I went through and fixed all the indents. And oh man! Why did I stop writing this. All the characters are likeable. They're all different and have stories. There's a plot and

New LJ Community That Excites Me

2009-02-12T00:36:00.004-05:00

I've just found a new LJ writing community. There are many, but this one is new and small and it's making me really excited to write. Here's the link: http://community.livejournal.com/crack_that_muse/.Thinking about writing, I have no idea where my summerwrite story is. I'm gonna go find it. I wrote a bunch on it, maybe I'll see if there's more to add to that, or I'll post bits of it here.EDIT:

COLORS!!

2009-02-08T03:38:00.003-05:00

I got bored, so I changed the colors. I was playing around with this fun toy (http://colorschemedesigner.com/) and found some colors that I liked to together.Finally found out what the song played in the Astrosphere at Funtown is. It's called "Fire on High" by ELO: Electric Light Orchestra. Here's a YouTube video of the song.

I was so excited about it coming out on February 16th and now I have to wait four more months. It'll be warm then. It's winter in Maine. I feel like it'll never be warm ever again, and that makes it feel like longer. I was really excited about getting to play it

No Writing, But Yes Reading!

2009-02-04T03:05:00.004-05:00

Haven't done any more writing (I suppose I'll do a little before I go to bed), but I have done a bunch of reading. Tonight was another night of going through post after post of blog about design, web design, fonts, logos, creativity, work spaces and more. I also watched The X-Files 2: I Want To Believe. I liked, but I may need to watch it again (with out my laptop) so that I actually know what's

Yay for Writing!

2009-02-01T23:28:00.002-05:00

I watched the Super Bowl and did some writing. I even updated my word counter on the side. I have a character and some conflict now. I didn't write much, but it's more than I've written in a long time and I've missed it. I really need to learn to balance design and writing, and not do one until I really miss the other.I told Jennie about my favorite hobby today. When I get really bored I like to

I Needs To Do Some Writing

2009-02-01T12:30:00.004-05:00

I love NaNoWriMo, but it only comes one month a year and I find that I do barely any writing in the other 11 months of the year. So I think I'm going to try a NaNo type thing in February. That's right. Starting today I'm going to attempt to write 50,000 words. I don't have characters or a plot or even an inkling of an idea, but I'll make it work. I'll keep you guys updated with a bar on the left

My Newest Wallpaper: It Goes With One of My Newest Fandoms

I've had a Stargate Atlantis wallpaper on my desktop for a couple weeks now and in all honesty, it was terrible. The picture wasn't good enough quality to be a wallpaper on it's own. I found a tutorial tonight (the text version is here and the video version is here). I did the tutorial once with the picture the tutorial maker used, then decided to use it to make a wallpaper with. The result is

I realized in my last post that I did have tags for design (or web design, WHAT?), color, or typography. It's possible that this is because those we're things I was really looking into much.

I've been reading so much about design, typography, color, and basically anything web design related that I can find and I link to the things that I find interesting or don't have time to read. I've been reading and linking so much that I wanted to have more displayed for the reader(s)of this

Tonight I flipped through some YouTube vids, and came across this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYLNvhF79OM.

I also watched all of the first season of Chuck and I'm almost caught up with the episodes of season two that have aired.

The villain was awesome.3.18 "Teso Dos Bichos" - This is apparently widely regarded as the worst episode of X-Files ever, but I didn't hate it. I enjoyed it as an episode, though it's not one that I would watch again.3.19 "Hell Money" - Good, but not a favorite of

X-Files Marathon Continues, Christmas and More

Christmas was great. We spent the morning opening gifts, then went over to visit our uncle and cousin in the afternoon. I got some pretty awesome toys this year. Of them: a web cam, a headset (for playing games, like WoW specifically), a set of speaker, a CD player/mp3 player audio system, a set of bowls that can cook in the oven (for making soup), and more.My X-Files marathon is continuing.

The Best and Worst of 2008: My Favorite TV Shows

2008-12-23T02:47:00.008-05:00

This series of posts is dedicated to my favorite and least favorite things of 2008. Television, movies, games, classes, everything. If I loved it or hated it, I'll make mention of it in these posts.This post is dedicated to my favorite television shows.Favorite TV ShowsBonesIn the past, I've had trouble keeping up with this show, but this year I've made a point to watch every episode. Even though

Bedtimes Nao

2008-12-19T05:03:00.001-05:00

Well, I've finished the pilot episode of the X-Files so now I'm going to bed. Probably with some lights on. The X-Files scares me in a way that Supernatural never has. Supernatural might get me for a minute, make me jump, but the X-Files makes me turn on lights and look around the corner while holding a weapon. I kinda love it. I may have to confine my marathoning of the X-Files to the daylight

The X-Files

2008-12-19T04:05:00.002-05:00

I watched some episodes of The X-Files last year when I would stumble across the episodes on tv late at night. Tonight I watched a really good episode with Melissa and it inspired me to watch another (the episode we watched was 5.04 "Detour"). The episode I just finished is called "Drive" (6.02). I love this show. Why have I not watched all of these before? I've just started watching the first

I Want To Do This

2008-12-17T13:32:00.003-05:00

I'm working on my PERL final assignment, but once I'm not really really busy and half asleep I would like to participate in this: http://anteka.livejournal.com/626024.html. Because it looks like a lot of fun. I wouldn't be able to do it through LiveJournal though, because I can't do voice posting, but I can record it and put it on YouTube.

Made It!

2008-12-17T07:57:00.002-05:00

I am physically awake and sitting in the classroom of my exam. It's officially 8am and our teacher has just walked in. One of my group members is here, but not both of them and that worries me a little.

All-Nighter

2008-12-17T00:12:00.001-05:00

I'm planning on taking some power naps, but I'm staying up until and through my 8am exam tomorrow. It's not actually any exam, it's a presentation (that I'm not all that worried about) so I think I'll be able to do it. My biggest worry about tomorrow is that if I go to bed I'll sleep through the exam, or wake up late and get there late. But I'm also tired, so I'll see if I can take naps and get

Flock and Facebook

2008-12-16T14:47:00.002-05:00

So, I'm checking my Facebook in Flock (the browser) and I just found this picture.My sister posted it. Erin's the one holding Laura. I''m the one leaning over. And the girls are our cousins Sarah and Laura. I love this picture!

Finished, Colors Here I Come

2008-12-16T13:48:00.003-05:00

My flash project is finished. I'm just loading it onto a flash drive so that I can turn it in. So now I have time to eat my lunch and work on colors for this blog. And also to post pictures. I didn't take a new picture of Got Nothin' before I started messing with things, so I've just stolen the finish picture from my first redesign.So that's how it looked before. Two columns, a lovely picture of

Ha HA! Success!!

2008-12-16T11:08:00.004-05:00

So, my blog is now three columns wide and all about 900 pixels wide. Here's the site I used to change the amount of columns here: http://tips-for-new-bloggers.blogspot.com/2007/02/three-columns-blogger-template.html. For the time being it's also boring to the max. I'd like to spend the next hour playing around with colors, but I need to finish my flash project because I have an exam at 3:30 and

2008-12-15T23:51:00.002-05:00

If you are viewing this blog as white with the Prop 8 video over lapping the sidebar, then I am sorry. I'm working on changing my blog to a three-column design and I need to copy down all my widgets so that I don't lose them forever. They are the reason why I need three columns. This will all be resolved eventually. Don't worry.Love, Me

No Motivation

2008-12-15T22:10:00.005-05:00

So, it's exam week. I have no motivation. At all. Just today though. I'd been doing well up to today. Tomorrow I need to finish my flash project (just add in the content) and make some progress on my commission for Aesthetic Expressions. It's not due tomorrow, but I had wanted to have it finished by tomorrow and I need to at least have some progress to speak about in the exam period. But for

Prop 8: The Musical

2008-12-15T02:00:00.004-05:00

I thought I was done saying things tonight, but once I get typing I just keep thinking up more things to say. I saw my Neil Patrick Harris tag on the side and had to post a link to Prop 8: The Musical.Instead of that I've found some embed code."Prop 8 - The Musical" starring Jack Black, John C. Reilly, and many more... by Jack BlackWe watched this in Scientific Revolutions, because my teacher is

The Twilight Movie

2008-12-15T01:44:00.005-05:00

The following post is spoilery for the Twilight movie and is partially written by the eleven-year-old-Meg living in a corner of your brain (she's the one that like the High School Musical movies and the Disney Channel, not me). You have been warned.I liked the Twilight movie. Shut up, yes for real. I've seen it twice. Once on November 21 at 12:05 am with Melissa and once with Mom, Erin, Dad,

My Non-NaNo Post of Recent Going Ons

2008-12-15T01:20:00.008-05:00

I have a new desktop picture, and really, when do I not have a new desktop picture?The picture used in this wallpaper is from Stargate Atlantis and the quote is from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I love the Doctor (very much), but I needed a new wallpaper. I actually still want another new one, but it's exam week and I don't have time to play around in Photoshop for fun (but I do have time to

I Did It Again

2008-12-15T01:13:00.003-05:00

Before explaining the title of this post, let me start by telling a story.On Sunday November 30, 2008 (this year), I was sitting in my friend Monique's car. She was driving us from Maine back to Vermont after Thanksgiving Break. I was working on my NaNoNovel. At some point during the ride she said something to the effect of "if you hit 50k, I'll buy you the ten year shirt."A little more back

Goal Completion: 11. Read something at a PoJazz event (on stage to the audience, not a book in the back corner of the room to myself).

2008-12-13T15:00:00.003-05:00

On Thursday night I went to PoJazz at Parima's in Burlington, and I read the poem "Warning" by Jenny Joseph. I was drawn to the poem by the first two lines: "When I am an old woman I shall wear purple/With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me." A few of my friends came with me to see me read and also make sure that I did it. I was really nervous, but glad that I did it because I don't

Dear Blog,

Today has been a pretty great day, except I'm grumpy, I'm irritable, and I've been acting like a bitch.Love, Meg

I Can Haz A Jennie!

2008-10-11T00:20:00.003-04:00

My Jennie is in Vermont to visit Ryan, Mo, Dustin and I. We hung out some tonight and ate cake. Unfortunately, I'm going home for the weekend. I'm leaving tomorrow morning and then leaving Maine to come back at 10am on Monday morning. I wish that Jennie and I weren't switching for the weekend. I'm goin' home to visit family, and I can't wait to pet my kitties. yay!!In other news, my laptop has

Goal Completion: 28. Watch this YouTube vid with sound

2008-10-04T15:53:00.004-04:00

I have just watched the following YouTube vid with sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvit4QgHRBo.I definitely don't like Wincest in fanfic, but I love it in vids because it's more of a challenge to use the clips from the show to show something different than what most see (gen brolove). This vid is actually really good and I'm adding it to my YouTube favorites list.See the updated list

I need to make questions for the following three sections for Project Lovebeam's PERL project.FriendsWork ($)"Me Time"Three questions for each catagory.

Goal Completion: 04. Have 101 goals by 1am Oct 4, 2008.

2008-10-04T14:18:00.004-04:00

I completed goal #4 under Miscellaneous. I had all 101 goals by Oct. 4, 2008. I was worried that I wouldn't have 101 goals to complete, but I totally do have 101 goals and I did have them all by before 1am on Oct. 4, 2008.See the updated list here.

Goal Completion: 09. Sing in the shower.

2008-10-04T13:23:00.003-04:00

I completed goal #9 under real life today, by borrowing Melissa's iPod speaker and rocking out in the shower. There are no pictures for this one because there aren't. I was dissapointed to find that there are no outlets in bathroom. Probably a safety thing, but it took me a while to get the speaker plugged in outside the bathroom and have the speaker and iPod actually in the bathroom, but I

My Newest Desktop Picture and Associated Obsession

2008-09-30T23:52:00.005-04:00

I present to you ("you" meaning anyone other than me that is reading this) my newest desktop picture. Ta da!Along with this wallpaper (which took me two-three hours to make in Photoshop) I present my newest obsessions: Doctor Who and David Tennant (and Torchwood, but that's not in the wallpaper).I went on a Doctor Who and Torchwood bender. I watched all of the new!Who, the show that restarted in

Creatures and Lengends Myths for My NaNo

2008-09-28T15:02:00.004-04:00

"List of Legendary Creatures," at WikiPedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_legendary_creatures)This seems like a good place to start. A jumping off point of sorts."Top 10 Mythical Creatures," at List Universe (http://listverse.com/bizarre/top-10-mythical-creatures/)These are creatures that I really don't want to use in my NaNovel unless I dig really deep into research and do them

NaNoWriMo: Is It November Yet?

2008-09-26T19:57:00.002-04:00

I've given up on doing homework for the night, and instead I'm looking through the NaNoWriMo forums. I don't why looking through the forums gets me so pumped for November, but it does. I'm ready, well, inpiration wise. I have no plot, or characters. But those things don't really matter for NaNoWriMo anyway.One thing that I've found that looks interesting (while looking through the forums) is a

101 Goals in 1001 Days?

2008-09-22T23:24:00.005-04:00

I think I'm going to write up a list of 101 goals to achieve in 1001 days. It seems like an interesting concept, and I really love lists. I've fallen a little bit behind in my homework and need a few days to catch up and write my list of goals, but once I've made the list I'll post it here on my blog so that other people can attempt to keep me going toward my goals.If you think the concept of 101

Dr. Horrible, Roswell, 21, Stargate Atlantis & More

2008-07-24T02:23:00.010-04:00

I haven't posted in a while and figured that now is the time to do it. I have a couple of things to blog about, so here goes. Dr. Horrible. Love it! I just checked the play count on my iTunes copy of Dr. Horrible and I've watched Act I 4 times, Act II 2 times and Act III 1 time. I've watched it 3 or four times all the way through on my iPod too. It turns out that Dr. Horrible has the ability to

Stargate Atlantis Episode 5.01 "Search and Rescue"

2008-06-23T00:56:00.003-04:00

I don't want to write too much about this episode because it hasn't aired yet (it got leaked and my willpower is not strong when it comes to my obsessions) and because I'm still not fully coherent.I watched it Saturday morning and again Saturday night. It is sooooooooooo good. I wish I could make people understand how I feel about this episode, but I doubt I can. Just thinking about it my stomach

Twilight Chapter Reviews: 01. First Sight

2008-06-18T03:35:00.006-04:00

I am a horrible, horrible procrastinator. I have been sitting here with my chapter 01 notes open next to me for about two hours. Now I am stopping my run of procrastination and writing this post. Yay for me!I read this chapter and write down a bunch of ideas and quotes that I wanted to react to.Number 01. Bella's problem with sharing a bathroom with Charlie. I have two separate, yet similar

Twilight Chapter Reviews: Preface

2008-06-16T00:05:00.003-04:00

I like the preface. I like how it draws the reader into the story. Into the very end of the story and then the story starts from the beginning to explain the preface. I don't know why the preface didn't work to draw me in the first time I read this book, but it didn't. I read the first chapter or so and got bored. I didn't pick the book up for another couple weeks. But once I did really start

Yay! Money!!

2008-06-15T23:47:00.002-04:00

I worked from noon 'til 9pm tonight. It was a long time to be standing and by about 7m basic counting was starting to get hard for me, but it was fun and I'd like to think that I was helpful.I'm going to go down to my bedroom and read the first chapter of Twilight, so there should be a post or two following this one tonight. Then I have to go to bed because I'm working at my Aunt's daycare

Addin' Some More Tags

2008-06-15T03:08:00.003-04:00

Instead of going to bed, like I said I would I've been looking through my tags and old posts. I'm in this post adding tags for the characters John Sheppard, Dean Winchester and Edward Cullen.I just finished rereading the Twilight books, but I want to read them again and post a little about each chapter. I'm not sure exactly what I'll write about each chapter. Maybe how I feel about the characters

I Can Haz A Job and Twilight

2008-06-15T02:44:00.006-04:00

I have a job. I am working at the Dunkin Donuts in my town. It's a lot of fun. I like the people I'm working with and the customers are pretty nice, most of the time. Dunkin Donuts is such a huge change from working at the Miller Information Commons (Champlain College Library). It's definitely two completely different jobs. The library was very slow. Dunkin Donuts is very fast paced and it's been

RE-Redesign??

2008-06-05T15:30:00.003-04:00

I'm getting pretty close to 250 posts (this is number 235, if you're interested) and I think it's just about time for a new design. I redesigned my web page (Excited Geek) in April and now I really want to redesign this blog.In the near future, Got Nothin' will have a new face...again. I promise there will be before and after pictures, just like the first time I redesigned.

Fic: Paperwork Blues, Picture and Wallpaper

2008-06-04T18:45:00.005-04:00

First, the desktop picture that started all this insanity.The signature on here is my handwriting and it took me forever. I was having serious roblem with the P's in Sheppard, so I didn't write them. Before I gave up on them completely though, I asked Erin to help me and she wrote "Sheppard" in a ridiculous way that inspired the story that follows.Title: Paperwork BluesAuthor: Meg1742 with help

New Wallpapers

2008-06-04T16:59:00.006-04:00

I have made some new wallpaers recently that I would like to share. All of them are 1280x800.The picture for this wallpaper is from the Stargate Atlantis season 4 finale "The Last Man". I had a lot of fun with the coloring of the cap. I really enjoy how Joe Flanigan is standing and I will forever and always love his hair.I made this while following a tutorial.This is wallpaper that is gracing my
