The Last Gunslinger

Roll out of bed, look in the mirror
And wonder who you are
Another year has come and gone
Today is your birthday
But it might be the last day of your life
What will you do if tomorrow it's all gone?

You won't be young forever
There's only a fraction to the sum
You won't be young forever
Nor will anyone

So...
Look at your life, who do you want to be before you die?
Look at your life, what do you want to do?
Look at your life, who do you want to be before you die?
Look at your life, you haven't got forever

And tell me what really matters
Is it the money and the fame?
Or how many people might eventually know your name?
But maybe you touch one life
And the world becomes a better place to be
Maybe you give their dreams another day
Another chance to be free

Happy birthday
Happy birthday

Look at your life, who do you want to be before you die?
Look at your, what do you want to do?
Look at your life, who do you want to be before you die?
Look at your life, it all comes back to you.

The trailer for Cataclysm, WoW's next expansion pack.

And here's a link with all the information:

Kalmidor and Eastern Kingdoms? FUCKED. 85 level cap. Goblins and Worgen. Flying implemented in Azeroth. Thrall stepping down from leading the Horde to become the Guardian of Tirisfal.

Cairne Bloodhoof MURDERED by the new warchief, Garrosh.

Kinda makes me wish I could take my Blood Elf over to the Alliance. Fuck Garrosh. I go through an entire questline to restore your confidence, and this is how you repay me? Fuck you.

Moving on...

Open war between the Horde and Alliance.

Okay, you know what? FUCK GARROSH HELLSCREAM. There, I said it. Thrall 4 lyfe.

Anyways, what're your thoughts? Lemme know. I'm pretty fucking excited, but well, we'll wait and see.

Season finale of House.

Wut.

WUT.

I just...

He just...

And she? And...

No. Fucking. Way.

I gotta say, the fifth season was my least favorite...up until the point Kutner died. And then it started getting RIDICULOUS.

Just.

Woah.

I can barely form coherent fucking thoughts right now.

Seriously? Jesus Christ.

I think I already posted this, but Kate posted her results, so I'm gonna repost mine.

AWESOME.

You Are a Snow Leopard

You have learned that you must rely on yourself, and yourself alone, to live a happy life. You are understand the world better than most people you know. You are very perceptive and intuitive. You need lots of space to think. If you don't get the space you need, you're likely to bite someone's head off. Because you are so thoughtful and solitary, people find you to be intense and mysterious. You're even seen as intimidating.

I totally use this journal for the most important stuff EVER.

I love how when stuff actually happens to me, I don't write about it, even though I hate how empty this journal is. OHWELL.

No, no, don't worry, I'm not going to do another series of logs.

Just...

I'm liking this book a million times more than I liked Twilight. Seriously. I felt compelled to put this down somewhere.

Stephanie Meyer's good ideas are better in this book, though it may have to do entirely with Edward leaving and turning Bella to her own devices. By herself, working with herself, she is so much more interesting than she ever was saddled with Edward. It's like when he runs off, she suddenly gained a crapload of characterization and depth that was buried beneath the shallow version of herself that she put forth before this point.

I know Edward is eventually going to come back. It's TRUE WUV (tm) after all, but still, I'm actually hoping it's delayed as long as possible.

...and just when I thought she couldn't surprise me. Well played, Stephanie Meyer. Well played.

In other news, I've been up for twenty-seven hours. I don't know why. I'm exhausted, but, well, not. It's weird. I just have so much to do...

Hopefully I won't explode.

Add me.

...though God knows why I NEED a Twitter.

We'll see.

The party last night was amazing.

Well, what I can remember of it, anyways. Everything past a certain point gets all blurry and fuzzy around the edges.

The hangover, though? Not so pleasant. Not so pleasant whatsoever. But, not to sound totally weird, I'm glad I'm experiencing it. Now I know what it's like. And how much it sucks.

I thought I'd update to let the power trio know that I wasn't dead. I think I'm gonna go lie back down, though. Just...for a little while...

Urgh.

When it rains, it motherfucking pours.

Because the state of New Hampshire decided to buttfuck us on our only means of transportation we literally, and I mean literally, are so poor we can't afford to eat.

Take that in.

WE CAN'T AFFORD TO EAT.

I don't want this to seem so important to me because I like to eat. I could afford to lose a few pounds, I know. I'm working on it. But fuck. Seriously.

We can't afford to EAT.

Seriously. Seriously?!

Jesus Christ. I can't even get a job to help out. I've applied to like ten fucking places and haven't gotten a single call back. I feel so fucking useless.

I don't know what to do.

Ever since my Twilight experience I've had this desire to post my thoughts on a variety of topics to let you, my LJ-friends and people, you know, know stuff. And...purchase and peruse professionally? I sort of forgot where I was going with this.

Onto the main event!

1: South Park Studios

Do you like South Park? Have you missed a lot of the episodes? Would you like to be able to watch Season 1-12 for free from start to finish? Do you think this is too many questions to ask at the same time?

If you answered 'Yes' to all of the above, South Park Studios is for you. Matt and Trey have, through some manner of eldritch magic, put up every episode of South Park for free viewing. You can even edit them together or download them. I'm being SUPER SERIAL.

Much like Hulu, which shows a variety of television shows, you get thirty second commercials where the typical string of commercials would have shown on TV. Unlike Hulu, the commercials aren't all for real products. Ever wanted to have your very own Alabama Man? What about the Wild Wacky Action Bike? It's the bike that's hard to ride! And that Cartman Land place looks pretty damn awesome. It's too bad we can't come. Because at Cartman Land, well, only Eric Cartman can get in.

That makes me a saaaaaaad Panda.

2: Fallout 3 (Operation: Anchorage DLC)

Those god damn commie sons of bitches, the Red Chinese, have landed in Alaska. Our boys up there are hard-pressed to hold them back, even with the might of Ol' Uncle Sam behind them. Are you man (or WO-man) enough to turn the tide of the conflict? Well, are you? Or are you a yellow little bitch?

That's what I thought.

Of course, seeing as it's been over two-hundred years since the bombs dropped and annihilated most of the planet, you must be wondering how exactly you can turn the tide of a conflict that died out before your mother's father's father's mother's father was even born. Don't worry about it. We can make it happen. We have the technology. Better, faster, stronger...

Wait. Sorry. Zoned out. Where was I?

Right. Anchorage.

It seems those Brotherhood of Steel outcasts need your help. What do they need exactly? They need you to cut a swath through the virtual Chinese army and assassinate their greatest leader in the heart of the raging battlefield. Easy, right? I mean, you were just outside punch-boxing a Deathclaw and turning Radscorpions into crispy critters with that flamethrower of yours. This should be a cakewalk. Especially surrounded by your fellow soldiers, each of them a meat-eating, commie-socking, mushroom cloud laying motherfucker.

Besides, we all know that anyone that isn't an American has a black heart full of cowardice and a hole where their soul should be. They'll piss their collective communist pants so hard that Chairman Mao will get drenched from beyond the grave.

What're you waiting for, soldier? Pick up Operation: Anchorage today and join the fight! Buy war bonds! Support our troops! Loose lips sink ships! AMERICA IS BEAUTIFUL, BELIEVE IT.

You be my princess
I'll be your Toad
I'll follow behind you
On Rainbow Road
Protect you from red shells
Wherever we go
I promise

No one will touch us
If we pick up a star
And if you spin out
You can ride in my car
When we slide together
We generate sparks
In our wheels and our hearts

The finish line
Is just around the bend
I'll pause this game
So our love will never end
Let's go again

The blue shell is coming
So I'll go ahead
If you hang behind
It'll hit me instead
But never look back
Cause I'm down but not dead
I'll catch up to you

Don't worry about
Bowser or DK
Eat this glowing mushroom
And they'll all fade away

And the finish line
Is just around the bend
I'll pause this game
So our love will never end

Let's go again

To the Mushroom Cup
And the Flower Cup
And the Star Cup
And the Reverse Cup

Walalalalala
Walalalalalawaluigiiiiii

I hate to post lyrics twice in a row, but this song makes me smile.

Let's watch it burn...
Let's watch it burn...
Let's watch this city burn the world.

Let's watch this city burn,
From the sky lines on top of the world,
Till there's nothing left in her,
Let's watch this city burn the world.

My body doused in ash, with two empty cans of gas,
The only evidence they have is a police sketch of my mask.
And it's hard at times to ask if you can save my heart for last,
And it's hard to face the facts when the darkness fades to black.
It's not just make believe when they make me take a seat,
And they put amphetamines in the air and make me breathe.
So come on and grab your children, look out for burning buildings,
And villains who pillage, they're killin' by the millions.
And billions of people die for a lost cause,
So now I pray to my nation destroyed under God.
It's the end of the world...
All my battles have been won but the war has just begun.

The city looks so pretty do you wanna burn it with me?
Till the skies bleed ashes and this fuckin' skyline crashes.
They catch us with the matches and ignite the flame,
And all the hopes of a youth deemed fuckin' insane.
They say... Take the pill, in God we trust,
Go and kill, God loves us.
As in life, as in death,
Breathing until there is no breath.
I will not die in the night, but in the light of the sun,
With the ashes of this world in my lungs.
But who am I to say let's all just run away,
Grab your saints and pray and we'll burn this world today.
It's the end of the world...
As in Heaven, as in Earth, we've been dead since our birth.

Let's watch it burn...
Let's watch it burn...

The city looks so pretty do you wanna burn it with me?
The city looks so pretty do you wanna burn it with me?
The city looks so pretty do you wanna burn it with me?
The city looks so pretty do you wanna burn it with me?

We'll use the trees as torches
Do you wanna burn it with me?
We'll flood the streets with corpses
Do you wanna burn it with me?
We'll watch the city fuckin' bleed
Do you wanna burn it with me?
And bring the world to its knees
Do you wanna burn it with me?

Let's watch this city burn,
From the sky lines on top of the world,
Till there's nothing left in her,
Let's watch this city burn the world.

Let's watch it burn, let's watch it burn
Let's watch it burn, let's watch it burn
Let's watch this city burn the world..
