So wow! 1000 posts, if you had told me Sep. 25th, 2002 that I would still be using this thing. Heck that I would be using it as a paid member I would have told you that you were nuts.
A lot has gone on in that I have missed out on posting about since I last posted to LJ, I knew that it was my 1000th entry and I just didn't think the small things were worth making into an entry. So now its gonna be one big entry so I have an excuse to write about the things that I have forgotten to talk about.
---#1 My 29th birthday is coming up next month, its making me very very depressed. For two reasons, first reason being that the number between me and 30 has gone down to one year. And the second one, is because what I am worried about, having set myself up for disappointment when it comes to my birthday party this year.
See my boyfriend had some financial problems during Christmas this year so he couldn't afford to get me a gift. I made him a deal, I love him and I didn't really need a gift so I asked him to make me a promise instead.
I wanted a party this year for my birthday, a real party, one where I have as many as my friends as possible, we play games, eat food, hang out, maybe karoke or something, and get as smashed as possible(One important thing was that my boyfriend needs to be able to get drunk to cause whenever we go out he always drives and thats not fair to him.) So I asked him to set a party up.
Anyways, so we are nearing the date of my birthday, and I realized that the weekend that this was going to be all set up was Easter weekend. Its to late to change anything, but I get the feeling that its going to severely impact how many people come. Also I think its a Vampire Larp game on the same weekend as well which I don't normally go to but a lot of our friends do..
I am sure that some of my friends are guaranteed to show up, but that is not exactly the thing I was looking for, I was more interested in something big and silly vs. small and intimate. (Its not that I don't like small and intimate, just that I have done small and intimate to death. I would like to think that I have grown beyond being the cloistered person in high school who doesn't have hardly any friends.)
--- #2 Watchmen, until recently I hadn't read the comic or anything like that. So the week the movie came out, I picked up the graphic novel and forced myself to read it before seeing the movie.
I don't know whether that was wise or not, but I am mostly glad I did. It helped me pick up on things that I am sure that people who hadn't read the comics never would have. I think the movie did as good as it could with what time constraints were put on it. And though I disagree with certain changes to the ending, its an overall good adaptation.
Also Jackie Earle Haley owned as Rorschach.
-- #3 The ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) scans_daily debacle, I know I am more than a little late in weighing in on this. It happened after I had posted my 999th journal entry. I thought about making a post about just it, but I didn't want my 1000th post to only be about scans_daily drama.
So how do I feel about it? Well I was a member of the community, so I am rather miffed about the whole thing that's for sure. scans_daily had always existed in this state of questionable legality, but I tend to believe that the community had done the comic books industry more good than bad.
The community introduced me to things that I never would have known were out there if it weren't for scans_daily. And I added trades, graphic novels, and comics to my collection all because of the community. It also allowed me to avoid stuff that was complete dreck as well. Making me more savvy and aware of what was going on behind the scenes at the comic companies, and introducing me to the horrors of people like Greg Land, Dan DiDio, and Joe Quesada. It was important to me to know this stuff, I don't live really near to my comic store and can only go rarely so its important to me to use my time in there to its best ability.
As for Peter David's involvement, I have lost some severe respect for him. I have always liked his stories and involvement in comics and star trek and various other things over the years. But whether it was his intention and whether he was directly involved in what happened or not isn't the point. Marvel may not have caused the shut down directly, but Peter's histronics and foolish talking about things that he has no clue about were most likely an indirect cause of the incident. And his complete and utter missing the point, has made it unlikely that I will be picking up any more X-factor( Or anything else which he puts his name on) which makes me incredibly sad as Jamie Madrox is one of my favorite Marvel characters..
--- #4 Miscellaneous thoughts that I am using to round out this entry.
- I have now officially had more dreams about the 10th doctor than I have had about any other fictional character ever, 4 total, and one of them was a make out dream. I am so totally gonna miss David Tennant, and I support fully him being in the next Batman movie as the Riddler cause that would be all sorts of awesome.
- I at one time was a rather active member of the Slash community on the internet. I used to spend entire weekends doing nothing but trawling and reading fics. Recently I have been so much more active with my weekends having a boyfriend, having games, and such that I don't read fanfic nearly as often. So it came as a surprise that during that time I had stopped paying attention to the net.
That one of my favorite writers had her site taken down, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) carolinecrane's site was no longer there with its BWOC, and DMOC and other awesome stuff. I found out about it going down months and months ago, I can't even remember when, and I felt really really bad for not having been paying attention to the net enough to even notice that it had happened, because it clearly had happened long before I had noticed it..
- I have a newer computer, one that can play video without dying on me.. And one that can play closer to modern games. I am also on City of Heroes/City of Villains, my main character Soul Jester, a villain who is on the Victory server for those of you who are on the game as well and want to say hi.. |
