Laura isn't evil. She's just up to no good.

iTunes: "Greedy Fly" by Bush
I am: lacking in the maturity department

The cap under my Pepsi bottle told me that I'm a huge loser. Yep. Yeper-oo. Yep yep yep. Looooser. Yep. It's all good. The good people at Coke think I'm cool. They better. Or else. ::points and shakes in anger::

Tamila gave me a ring-ting-ting-a-ling tonight. I told her...demanded actually, that she throw a huge movie fest at her new "apart". I threatened her with Moulin Rouge quotes (yeah, I realize that doesn't make sense. Just go with the flow people).

My day was very uneventful. Boring events. Therefore I shall not waste anyone's time by posting such events.

Scroll Down for Cedar Point Awesome-ness

And what park would be completely without one of these...

This disgusting piece of art was our view while we waited in line for "Raptor." Mmm delicious. 

Random ride...ya! 

Sadly this is the only picture of "Top Thrill Dragster" I have. It is the world's fastest and tallest rollercoaster and I rode it twice (it would have been more if the lines weren't crazy). 420 feet and 120mph in 4 seconds baby! 

::sheds tear:: The "Millennium Force" was possibly the best rollercoaster I had ever been on. Too bad I don't have better pictures of that drop. Oh man it was sweet.

Funny story about the "Power Tower"...before Daniel and I rode it we head that some tiny child had rode it all the way to the top and then puked her guts out. I can imagine that her fellow passengers were not quite pleased. 

Ah yes, the "Power Tower." Great view, great fun. 

Daniel and I prepare for the best time of our lives. 

Oh sweet sweet "Chaos." How could I live without you? 

More "Wicked Twister" 

This beauty is called the "Wicked Twister." It shoots you super fast up this twisty track and then get shot backwards up another twisty track. 

More "maXair"...now that's some serious air. 

As noted in a previous entry, I have seen heaven on earth, and it is in Ohio. Cedar Point, Ladies and Gentlemen is the greatest amusement park in the WORLD. This first picture is of something called "maXair." Imagine 50 people on this huge wheel that spins and swings. Yeah...it's that awesome! 

Most pointless entry...ever

Cedar Point was awesome. I'm still alive. Rejoyce.

Instances in which I would say yes to "extra butter"

Instance #1: I am being held by viscous group of vigilantes wearing cartoon character masks. They are really angry customers who are sick of being charged 27 cents for the extra butter on their "reel deal" #2. They tell me that they will slowly torture my family and me unless I give them their money back. I refuse and tell them to go hump a tree (I tend to get viscous when my life is at stake). This comment angers them. The whip out the "big guns" and expose a month-old batch of popcorn. It looks less than appetizing with its green mold and maggots. They bring the old bucket of popcorn near my face, preparing to force feed it to me and ask once again for their money, a QSP (free drink), and an apology. I cry like a tiny child. They take pity on me and in an act of weakness the vigilantes ask me if I would like "extra butter" on my popcorn.

Instance #2: I am approached by Ryan Reynolds on the street. He has taken noticed of "wonderful personality" (Yeah...I know...shut up). We date for several months and are followed by the paparazzi every day. We are pushed to our limits and resort to using cute code words and phrases to discuss private subjects. After an uber romantic date that tops all dates, he gets down on one knee, whips out a FREAKIN' huge ring, and asks me if "I would like extra butter?"


Instance #3: After years of writing my local congressman, "Opposite Day" is recognized as an official national holiday. To celebrate such holiday, I attend the movie theater with friends to redeem my employee reel deal #1 for that week. According to company policy and government regulations, all Movie Theater, bank, and restaurant employees are not allowed to play "Opposite Day" thus they must ask questions in a normal manner but assume that customers will answer in an opposite manner. Upon giving the on duty concessionist my order they ask if I would like extra butter. I reply "yes" (AKA "no" on opposite day).

Instance #4: While away on a mission trip to Africa/Mexico/China/California (some "God-Forsaken land") a member of my troop is bit by a wild monkey carrying an Ebola-like virus that turns people into zombies. Unaware of this member's contagiousness, we return to the US and the town in which we all live. Soon he/she begins to cough up nasty chunks of lung and attempts to eat us. One by one we all become sick. The CDC (Center for Disease Control) as well as Dustin Hoffman is called in. Soon the entire small town is surrounded by tanks and men with very large guns. After hours of searching for a cure an accidental drop of movie theater grade butter, mixes in with the blood of one of the infected. It is found that the butter seems to smother the virus, thus killing it. Dustin Hoffman carefully administers the cure to each of the infected. In an attempt to keep spirits high Dustin makes jokes and acts out scenes from Rainman. Upon reaching me he jokingly asks if I would "like extra butter with my IV this afternoon?"

Instance #5: Christian Bale (The "Reign of Fire" version) comes up to me shirtless and asks me if I want "Extra Butter." My exact response is, "God yes."

That face that bugs you

I am: a terrible excuse for a tiny, angry, little girl

If my head spontaneously combusts, I apologize immensely. I will be back to clean up the mess. I promise.

I swear if I stub my toe one more time tonight I am going to kill something.

1984

iTunes: "Talk Shows On Mute" by Incubus

Yeah, that's right I found a song that actually relates to a post.

I finally found the time to post the pictures from the 1984 arcade. Obviously we all had a really awesome time.

Hannah's Sad Little Obsession

Natalie tries to show "Pac-Woman" who's boss

Weeeeird picture of Hannah

Waka waka waka!!

I am: attempting to stomach the book "American Psycho" by Bret Easton Ellis

Ladies and gentlemen I am happy to announce that I can connect myself to Kevin Bacon within one person...

I went to the same high school as Brad Pitt
who was in Sleepers with Kevin Bacon!

I believe I can die a happy girl now.

I just finished watching Way of the Gun and have found way too many similarities between it and Boondock Saints. For instance the last lines in Way of the Gun are..

We don't want your forgiveness. We won't make excuses. We're not gonna blame you, even if you are an accessory... But we will not except your natural order. We didn't come for absolution, we didn't ask to be redeemed. But isn't how it is, every goddamn time... Your prayers are always answered, in the order they're received...

and the last lines in Boondock Saints are...

Connor: Now you will receive us.
Murphy: We do not ask for your poor, or your hungry.
Connor: We do not want your tired and sick.
Murphy: It is your corrupt we claim.
Connor: It is your evil that will be sought by us.
Murphy: With every breath, we shall hunt them down.
Connor: Each day we will spill their blood, 'til it rains down from the skies.
Murphy: Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace.
Connor: These are not polite suggestions, these are codes of behavior, and those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest cost.
Murphy: There are varying degrees of evil. We urge you lesser forms of filth, not to push the bounds and cross over, in to true corruption, into our domain.
Connor: For if you do, one day you will look behind you and you will see we three, and on that day you will reap it.
Murphy: And we will send you to whatever god you wish.

Ok so the lines are COMPLETELY different but both movies have the same feeling toward the end. Look, people I am not crazy here....Just watch the G.D. movie.

As for the events of this current day, it has been slow. Slow...yes. I missed church this morning because I overslept and I overslept because...I'm a loser like that (haha). Anyway I've been messing with my sketch book since about 2pm praying that God will bless me with some talent before Tuesday night at which time I will have to prove my worth to not only Hannah, and Natalie, but the entire world. I shouldn't have slept through Church...oh man.

6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon and me

HAHA I figured out how I am connected to Kevin Bacon...

I have a friend "Ben" that was in The Island
with Sean Bean who was in Troy
with Brad Pitt who was in Sleepers
with KEVIN BACON!

I'm practically related to Kevin Bacon.

So tonight someone made some sort of snotty comment about me liking Graphic Novels and such. I'm sure it wasn't really all that snotty and it really wasn't a full blown insult but inference that I was a loser was still there. I remember just sitting there thinking, "Hm. How should I take this? Should I be like Jesus and say something incredibly kind like, 'I forgive you for your uncalled for comment that made me fell insignificant and I would like you to join me in a quick prayer so that we can call out this demon spirit that has clearly claimed your soul' or should I toss a kit-kat at his head in hopes of permanently damaging some brain cells?"

Instead of being a good Christian or even a moderately good Christian and just saying, "Eat crap and die" or something witty like that (haha) I just did what any immature, comic book geek/loser would do and gave him the finger. A gesture I have only, and will only, reserve for this one specific person.

I rock hardcore.

I had a lot of sugar this morning.

I found myself in some of a Ryan Reynolds withdrawal this afternoon. It was sickening. It started with the shakes and ended with me on the floor, in the fetal position, crying "Ryan....Reynolds" over and over. I decided that watching Blade Trinity with Commentary from David Goyer, Ryan Reynolds, and Jessica Biel was answer to my craving. Surprisingly, the commentary is actually almost better then the movie. First of all, David Goyer is GREAT! Seriously that man is funny beyond belief.

David: and I believe you ate alot of Soylent Green right?
Ryan: Oh yeah. All the time.
David (in the background while Ryan and Jessica are saying something): and Soylent Green is people.
Ryan and Jessica: Yeah yeah.


Oh man...I don't believe that random Ryan Reynolds pictures ever get old.

"The minor decision involves the zombie story I've been wanting to
write. I have decided, in the wake of watching 28 Days Later again and
discussing it with Natalie last night, to write it. It will very likely be
extremely long, and probably written in screenplay form, and I will not bother
to change anyone's name, and all my friends and most of my acquaintances will be
in it, and there are four people who will ever be allowed to read it. In other
words, it will not be posted here (not that this blog has ever been read by more
than four people, anyway). As minor as this decision is, I feel a strange sense
of freedom after making it. I'll have something tangible to show for my
relentless daydreaming. In fact, I've already started on a soundtrack playlist,
which will include the following:

"Pyramid Song," Radiohead
"Hysteria," Muse
"Marvelous Things," Eisley
"Daylight," Coldplay
"The Other Side," David Gray
"Latter Days," Over the Rhine
"Tear," Smashing Pumpkins
"There Is A Light That Never Goes Out," The Smiths
"Space and Time," The Verve
"Indefinitely," Travis
"Killing Zombies," Mark Butt " "

Oh man, I am so psyched! As I read Hannah's post about her upcoming Zombie screenplay a bright light appeared above my head and the hampster who works in my brain, came out of it's comatose state and began running on it's tinny wheel. I immediately called Hannah and asked her if I could use her script for a graphic novel.

We've talked over the direction of the story and I am quite excited where its going.

I need some Captain Crunch and Orange Soda...
