Hey there, sometimes I make friends locked posts, but most of the time I don't. Feel free to friend me, and if your journal is to my liking, I might friend you back. I tend to purge my flist fairly often, however. Do not be offended if I friend you and then unfriend you in the near future, it is almost never personal.

If you like, leave me a note here, if you are friending me for whatever reason.

ETA: My Twitter: @mizufae is my nerdy fandomy twitter and the one I use most often. Feel free to follow it, but I only follow back very selectively. I occasionally make iCarly fandom community announcements and stuff there.

Finally got around to watching Persepolis, which was awesome. 5 stars, but this wasn't unexpected. I think you would have to hate the movie on the basis of something ridiculous like disapproving of the entire french language or maybe hating the color black in order to not give it 5 stars, I mean seriously.

I was totally stupid today and fell asleep at like 7, and didn't wake up for a good 2 hours. So now, instead of milking my sleepiness steadily through the evening, I'm wide awake at 4am. Oh, 4am, my oldest companion and greatest nemesis.

I remember when I was quite young, I read in a book somewhere that midnight was the Witching Hour, so I was completely convinced witches came out at midnight and swooped around, and in particular would brew something evil at the foot of my bed. But it was only at midnight. Once it was 12:01, everything would be hunky dory.

As soon as I started hitting puberty, any illusions that midnight was late at night dropped like a rock. 4am is my gold standard of "late" and it's always the time when my brain goes a little fuzzy. I was asked on my first date at 4am (over ICQ, natch!) and let boys touch me in private areas at 4am, and thought very seriously about how useless my life is at 4am, and decided that getting a cat would solve all of my problems at 4am. To this date, I don't think that anything I've decided at 4am has turned out well. As such, I resolutely refuse to come to any conclusions right now. However, I am going to go take some tylenol and a melatonin. I hope you guys don't count that as a decision or conclusion.

I'm an artist.

ATTENTION VIRGINIA PEOPLE:

In a fit of parental credit card usage and depression-madness I have purchased tickets to go home for Thanksgiving. Traveling all day on Tuesday and Saturday leaves me in Herndon Wednesday Thursday Friday. I still don't drive. If you suckers wanna do something that's cool, if not, that is also cool. If it can be arranged, I will gladly purchase booze for those who wish it, as long as drunkity driving doesn't occur, cuz that would be a shitass way to kick it, don't you agree? Anyway HEADS UP.

Comment here and ask me any question you want - but only one. I promise to answer truthfully no matter what it is. And then you have to post the same offer to your own journal.

If I insult you, you've been WARNED. And JSYK I think that about 75% of my flist is full of creepers and/or I barely know who you dudes are. SO LINE UP AND ASK ME SOME QUESTIONS DANG JUST DO IT ALREADY

Amazing netflix review for Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist:

This movie is about teenagers with no parents in New York. New York is a very small city in which only a few main characters live. They only like bands that no one has ever heard of, which makes them cool. Nick and Nora are cute together because all of their friends are crazy, drunk, angry, stupid, condescending, gay, or a combination of these qualities. High schoolers in New York are apparently regarded as independent adults, because they all go to clubs, drink, score, and play "gigs" in their personal bands, which no one has ever heard of, so they're cool. Nora punches Nick in the throat for no apparent reason, and then they make out. She's a virgin, but lets Nick get to third base within hours of knowing him. That's hot. Her friend is very drunk and sexually provocative, and lost for most of the movie. Thank goodness for her that New York is so safe for cute provocative drunk high school girls with no parents. Nora looks after her and shares her gum. That's friendship.

I'm gonna go watch that movie now, because Michael Cera makes me tingly in my pants parts and I'm not gonna lie to myself about it.

Edit: Upon viewing, I can vouch that this review is 100% accurate. I give it 4 stars.

Also I'm way cooler than I thought I was cuz I've heard of at least 15% of the bands/actually own some of the soundtrack. Who knew? Apparently I'm twee?

So today I sat down to draw some pretty flowers again or something and then this totally boring person who had IMed me previously IMed me again. She talked to me at first because she found me via iCarly fandom stuff and the only thing she mentioned that was icarly related was like, her cousin lives near jerry trainor WHATEVER WHO CARES. So I was confused because I had pretty much ignored her until she went away before and I wanted to know why she would IM me again, maybe she had something fandomy to talk about or wanted an opinion on something? So i asked why she was IMing me and when she said just to talk I told her I generally dont do that, I like to have a reason to talk to someone on IM. Cuz that's how I roll. And this caused her to call me NASTY and ANTI-SOCIAL and IGNORANT. what. WHAT!

Mizu is to Ignorant as Marty McFly is to Chicken.

So apparently I draw angry picasso-esque mask face when I WANT TO DESTROY THE UNIVERSE.

Like look, I get IMed out of the blue by fangirls a surprising amount of time? But NORMALLY they have something to TALK about. So when I tell you I dont just randomly make small talk that's because IT IS TRUE. My life is so boring, I just... I dont have anything to discuss and I dont give a DAMN about the details of YOUR banal life either. That's why I escape into fandom stuff! So DONT CALL ME IGNORANT, because I'm not. I'm just TRUTHFUL. And I didn't even get her LJ name so I can't f-lock this, because WHO KNOWS maybe she's ON my f-list! So guess what? Public post it is!

God I hate iCarly fandom. I hate hate HATE it. if the show wasn't so good... ugh.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Just to prove to you that I take pictures of lampposts whenever I go anywhere, here is a FILM photo of the totally sweet lampposts in downtown Prague from a few years ago. And next to it, because I was looking through all my Prague & Budapest photos, is a picture of my BFF Ian walking in Budapest, having ~luxurious~ hair. Hey ladies, he's single~ *is now killed by Ian*

But yeah. I like lampposts.

Please click for fullsize.

I didn't want to draw anything today. But I made this. Aren't you proud of me?

Sarah factoid: when visiting places, I enjoy photographing the lampposts.
