 Hee! Matt, Luke, and T-Barr: This is the image I was referring to on Saturday. BoyBand!Nightcrawler, part of SomethingAwful.com's "Confused Actors" Comedy Goldmine. Life is good.
Priscilla said at 5:18 PM Wow, looking through the course catalog for Freshman seminars, I'm even more thrilled about Penn. One class includes a study of Hitchcock, Kubrick, and Luhrman (among others). Another class has as one of its textbooks Harry Potter. I'm in love.
Priscilla said at 5:16 PM Oh, Charlotte, what have you done?

::dies laughing:: I knew someone would put something like this together. Fun with Innuendo in HPOotP! Spoilers, obviously.
Priscilla said at 10:59 PM Priscilla said at 10:55 PM *sigh* I always think that I'm over it and that it doesn't bother me anymore, but whenever I see any of my collabs with Moni credited only to her, I'm always so irked. I need to get over myself. Alas, the hazards of collabbing with fandom divas. XD
Priscilla said at 10:46 PM Quotes from last night's festivities:
"Sacre bleu, eh?" --Luke, impersonating French Canadians "Abort. Retry. Flail." --if Matt worked at Microsoft "T-Barr is looking far too shifty. I'm waiting for a goatee to spring from his chin." --Matt "It's like we're kissing through produce!" --Luke, sharing a corn-on-the-cobb with T-Barr "Dude! (high-fives Matt) Wait... what were you just talking about? I was looking at cheesecake." --Luke Burkhead: I like the word "drizzle". Matt: Fo' shizzle. ::drawing a graph:: "The humor is directly proportional to the confusion." --T-Barr Me: It's a leper-tron! T-Barr: Would "robotic leprosy" be like rusting? Me: "Robotic leprosy" is the best phrase I have heard in two months. "It looks like Swiss cheese that failed." --Me, regarding T-Barr's cheesecake when he tried to give it leprosy "There is no context you can put that it to make it right!" --T-Barr, regarding "nipple buddies" Luke: You know what I need to do? Join a carnival and become a nipple reader. Burkhead: And you probably still wouldn't get any, Luke. "Yesss! I would use my Captain Planet power to get some!" --Matt, regarding the Heart planeteer Priscilla said at 6:57 PM Whee, just ordered "The Well of Lost Plots" off Amazon UK, as the literary world is stupid and it's not going to be available anywhere in the US for almost a year. Bah, humbug to evil US snobbery of fabulous UK books. But yay, we thwart their wiles at every turn! Percy bless Amazon UK!
Priscilla said at 5:53 PM Yeeesssssss! And Penn becomes even more perfect! They have a Chick-Fil-A!

Dude! The Graduate Associate at my dorm at Penn is named Abe Lo! Further proof that Lincoln kicks Wilson's shiny backside.
And apparently, my college house was modeled after a Turkish harem. Man, I love this dorm already. Priscilla said at 8:29 PM Children, please turn to Chapter 27 of "The Order of the Phoenix". Read the first page.
DEAR GOD, DO ALL MY FANDOMS ENDORSE BESTIALITY!?! Priscilla said at 8:10 PM mattman_skippy: i'm glad that you're back
spockmonkey4: glad to be back! spockmonkey4: Santa Fe was fun, but I was definitely ready to get out of there mattman_skippy: a man-ho without his pimp is a sad thing indeed spockmonkey4: *laughs* spockmonkey4: And a pimp away from her man-hos is tragedy as well mattman_skippy: I had TBarr yell at me and take my money, but it just wasn't the same mattman_skippy: aw, I'm touched spockmonkey4: *snorks* Yes. Definitely glad to be back to all my friends on Y!M. And I'm going with the gang to "A Clockwork Orange" anyway, so all is good. I feel compelled to reread a bit of it beforehand... Man, that's an amazing book. Priscilla said at 8:08 PM Wah. Midnight movie at the Inwood is "A Clockwork Orange", but it seems wrong to go to a midnight movie without Marcelina. Waaaaaah, loffie, how long are you going to be in San Antonio? The entire summer, right? Bah. Will go off and pout some more.
Priscilla said at 7:42 PM Wah! After surfing the web on a Mac for two weeks straight, I now find myself looking for the "minimize" etc buttons on the left instead of the right. Curse you, Macintosh! ::shakes fist angrily::
Anyway, as you can see, I'm back. I return to a flood of mail, snail and otherwise, including my AP Art folio, a birthday invite from Renata, and my "Discworld Family Values" Kidby poster (AAAAUGH!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!). W00t to the 00t indeed! It was funny. When I opened the box containing my folio, I immediately started searching for my grade. I was overwhelmed with glee to see three 5's emblazoned on the coversheet. Fives are the highest possible grade. I squealed with glee and skipped about the room with joy with my parents, exchanging high-fives, until I looked again and realized that the five was under the blank that enumerated the number of original pieces present at each stage of the grading. That wasn't my grade, that was just accounting for the continued existence of my work. Drat. I found this hilarious, though. I sorted through all the paperwork and such and no grade was found, so I called Mrs. McCullough, who told me that the grades were mailed at a different time. Checking the College Board website, I see that they are mailed on July 1st. So I have one more week until I find out my grade! Woo hoo! Now off to check email and LJ Friends list and suchlike. Renata, I apologize for not RSVPing to your party, as you live in Illinois. XD Priscilla said at 7:35 PM

Yay! Okay, I'm definitely warming to the new Blogger layout thing. My archives are no longer on crack! W00t!
Priscilla said at 3:36 PM Quotes of the Week:
"Quick! Let's play 'Which of these songs was written by George Harrison'!" --Me, regarding the Yellow Submarine soundtrack "I want to get all my friends naked in a pool and start shooting." --Amy, regarding the work of Connie Imboden "Occasionally I write mean haikus about people." --Me, introducing myself "That'd be sweet if you just spin-kicked me in the jaw!" --Scott, the AV guy "Although he has played roles that are less 'I want to pinch his cheeks' cute and more 'I want to have his babies' cute." --Me, regarding Alan Cumming "That boy is madder'n a rooster in an empty henhouse!" --The announcer at the rodeo "You need to marry a man who can sing. And is funny. And loves Ranch dressing." --my mom Priscilla said at 3:22 PM The next Jasper Fforde book, The Well of Lost Plots, comes out Tuesday next.
I feel somehow cheated. Priscilla said at 3:15 PM It's not good to laugh so hard that one cries in the middle of a public place. Curse you, Sam.

My first time ever, booyeah! Eee, I'm crying tears of joy in a public place. Man, my week is officially made. Priscilla said at 8:17 PM

So. OotP. I hated it because I loved it. I challenge anyone to read it without a full box of tissues at their side.
Reaction soon to be posted in my LJ, as Blogger has no spoiler-cut feature. Priscilla said at 6:00 PM
Saturday, June 21, 2003
Whee! Last night, I was quite possibly the first in the store to acquire a copy of HP5. I was the first at my register (pure, pure luck) out of about 5 or so stations. Spent three hours babysitting kidlets, amusing myself as I figured out how every one of the magician's magic tricks were performed (I had about a 90% success rate), scrutinizing the second edition of David Colbert's "Magical Worlds of Harry Potter" for a correction in the bibliography regarding WIAN (corrected! W00t! I showed this to my friends, who were impressed), and generally flailing about and being silly. Hurrah!
Because I am a Good Girl, I only allowed myself to read the first hundred pages last night, as the photography workshop is still going on and I have full days ahead of me. If anyone posts spoilers, I will officially lay the smackdown. And I hereby promise not to post anything remotely spoilworthy until the fandom generally decides it has been an appropriate time. So yay. Priscilla said at 12:34 PM

Tonight, tonight won't be just any night,
Tonight we'll put an end to the wait. Tonight, tonight, the three years end tonight And we'll answer each plot point debate. Today we'll gather all our glasses, We'll paint scars on our foreheads, And squeal with such delight As Borders' cries: Come out and read the book! See who dies! Tonight! Priscilla said at 10:32 AM

Whee! The abyss is abolished! I looooooooooove my color photos from the glass blowing workshop thing. Whee, sho pretty... I can't wait to scan them in and post them when I get home next week. Back on the 28th...
Potter countdown: *hums Les Mis' "One Day More"* Priscilla said at 6:01 PM Wah. Went to a glassblowing workshop yesterday to photograph, but my black and white stuff is rubbish. This must be what Tony refers to as "The Abyss". Bah, feeling depressed. Now clinging tightly to what I hope will be a happy moment today, when I pick up my color rolls at the one-hour photo. Gah, have reverted back to Bridget Jones-speak. Bad sign.
Last night, I dreamed that I got HP5 two hours early, and with a special cover. I liked the official cover a lot more, but I realized that mine would be worth a fortune on eBay, so I decided to keep it. Now waiting (im)patiently for tomorrow midnight to come. Also, today I will return to the Spa of Doom, Ten Thousand Waves, where I will revisit the Hot Tub From Hell, as immortalized by my epic poem. Will bring a swimsuit this time, and will be ready to prod serious buttock if distubed again by evil pervy males. ::demonstrates her 1337 kung-fu skillz:: Priscilla said at 11:15 AM

Hee! Sam is my hero.
Priscilla said at 9:01 PM Yay, I'm having a generally lovely time in Santa Fe! The morning is great for photography, as there's plenty of sun and lovely shadows and contrast and variety and general prettiness. We've been unlucky about afternoons so far, though. It seems every day, it clouds up horribly and it's rather difficult to get any good black and white. Color, however, is a different story. I shot three color rolls today with no scruples whatsoever, muaha! ::takes the opportunity to cackle fiendishly::
And I've figured out how Keith Carter makes his photographs. Go me! We got yesterday's negatives back this morning, where I was surprised to find that I had some of my New York photographs on one of the rolls. I printed two images and got a "Hot damn" and a handshake from Tony O'Brien, photographer/god teacher. W00t to the 00t, indeed. Priscilla said at 8:58 PM
Monday, June 16, 2003
Am now unhealthily obsessed with photographic works of Keith Carter. How does he do it? Hoooowwwww?? ::launches self off cliff::
Meanwhile, all goes generally well. I'm shocked at how strange it feels to be shooting b&w, despite the fact that black and white has been the majority of what I've shot within the last age. I guess Santa Fe is just a "color" city. Wah. Someday soon, I'm going to crack and rebel and shoot nothing but color, color, color and defenestrate* anyone that tries to stop me. * defenestrate: one of my favourite words, meaning "to hurl out of a window" Over past 24 hours, have met and befriended two people in high tech fields, including a guy with ties to Lucasfilm and/or Pixar, and a woman that works at Adobe. W00t to the 00t. Also, am quite shocked to see that I am not the youngest person in class, as I had expected. Unsettling. Oh well. Finished Bridget Jones and am 3/4 finished with sequel. References to Colin Firth in wet t-shirt conjure v. happy memories of watching "Pride and Prejudice" in Anglophilia Club. Mmm. Now aching with every sinew of my body for Friday night, when I--flanked by seven thousand tiny children--will descend as one upon Borders and claw our way to a copy of the fifth Harry Potter. When conversing with Nancy at Borders the other day (before the X2-fest), she informed me that they had received their shipment that day, but all were forbidden a glimpse of what's between the covers. What willpower! As I was unable to go into detail about our X2-fest the other day, I suppose I should at least mention the New Word Marcelina and I coined. We're quite pleased with it. or if you prefer, This is a word coined to describe the act of Alan Cumming... or Nightcrawler, whatever... giving someone (i.e., us) a big hug and bamfing us away. Whee! The thought makes us very happy, as Alan Cumming quite schnoogleworthy. Tra-la! And that's pretty much it for now. Priscilla said at 7:09 PM
Sunday, June 15, 2003
W00t! Have arrived in Santa Fe, and quite pleased to see that I will have regular internet access if I wish. Huzzah! But LJ is semi-oncrack, due to Demented Mac From Hell, so I won't really be able to see any art you guys produce. Wah. It's not really very fond of having two windows open at once (despite the fact that it's obviously Very New and Snazzy), so LJ-cuts are no longer merry. Alas, woe.
Taking massive quantities of film already. Mmmm, hold me back. Priscilla said at 5:16 PM
Saturday, June 14, 2003
A Good Thing to Do: Go see X2 with a friend as squealishly infatuated with Alan Cumming as you are. Man, our post-movie quasi-meal at Chili's was NUTS.
I'd go into detail, but it's 1:38AM and I have to wake up at an ungodly hour to catch my plane to Santa Fe, where I'll be for two weeks. I'll try to find a place with internet access (withdrawal! wah!), but I have no guarantees. And yes, I will be revisiting the Spa of Doom immortalized in my Epic Poem. Wah. I wonder if I should bring my copy of "The Hobbit" to add surrealism? Priscilla said at 2:38 AM
Friday, June 13, 2003
I bet no one would do this for Wilson!
Priscilla said at 5:50 PM Friday the 13th! OooOo! ::makes ghost-y noises::
Schlien and I watched the first X-Men this morning to prepare her for X2 this evening (now 8PM at the Cinemark, kids). It was lovely to revisit the highly amusing quotes ("This sure is a big, round room.") and now-cheesy-looking special effects that I thought were awesome three years ago. Quote of the Day: "I really like this whole 'Windblown Jesus' look." --Me, at Blockbuster Afterwards, I ran seven thousand errands, one of which was at Borders to treat myself for being so good and accomplishing so much. I saw Nancy there (w00t!) and invited her to come along with us to X2. Whee! And now, more reasons to love humanity. That's all I have to say about that. Priscilla said at 4:31 PM "Boxing is the gayest sport ever - where else do you get two men in satin shorts fighting over a purse and a belt?" --Unknown

w00t, just preordered HPOotP in Santa Fe. Count me in for the Midnight Party, whee!
Why am I never in Dallas for the HP book premieres? I was in France for Goblet of Fire. Priscilla said at 10:40 PM What in gravy is THAT supposed to mean?
priscilla n. a type of man. "This is a secret priscilla!" The Teen Slang Dictionary I was rather amused by: alicey v. to flirt with one's tattoo. "Are you trying to alicey, bud?" moni adj. likely to flirt with marijuana. "Man, what happened? Your scooter is moni!" Priscilla said at 10:38 PM Priscilla said at 6:27 PM Whee! Elfwood has finally gotten to my gallery and purged every single HP-related work into oblivion. This is more than half of my gallery. Ah well, I knew it would happen sometime. Now I just have to fill my gallery with Discworld, which seems to be acceptable. ::sigh::
Interesting that they chose to delete the LotR April Fools pic. I thought the Elfwood mods held LotR sacred and untouchable? Priscilla said at 12:57 PM

I <3 CGing clouds.
Click and see (::cough::andcommenton::cough::) my finished Kurt pic (the reason I detest crotches), because damp, blue, fuzzy, tattooed, German elf-mutants are our friends. Priscilla said at 4:16 PM Whee! Last night was much fun. Matt invited me, Schlien, Burkhead, Luke, T-Barr, and Meghan for MST3K-watching party. A splendid time was had by all! Great amounts of pizza and ice cream were consumed over the span of the evening as we took minibreaks from The Deadly Mantis ("but I've a mantis in my pantis!") and Hobgoblins ("Whatcha gonna do with those Hobgoblins?"). They didn't seem as funny as other episodes I'd seen, like Puma Man ("Help, I'm falling at 60 degrees and completely violating the laws of Physics!) and Final Sacrifice ("Rosdower!"), but all was still highly enjoyable. w00t! Yay Matt! Thank you for letting us use your lovely bubble-house and terrorize your cat ("There is no cat -- MRRRROW!").
Still amused by: "We need nuns. Lots of nuns. ::whoosh::" *snicket* Priscilla said at 9:45 AM

Went on a shopping spree with mum and fashion-plate older sister Melissa today. New jeans! New panties! New bras!
I AM A NEW WOMAN! Priscilla said at 5:44 PM Ugh. Just had a horrible nightmare that I cut my hair to chin-length. Naturally, it was horrible and demented-looking. It was a hideous shade of white-blond, and when I toussled it up to look for a style that would minimize the damage, it turned into yarn, which in the dream reminded me of the hair on a Rainbow Brite doll. Ugh. Think Farscape's Chiana with slightly longer hair, a limp, ineffective perm, on the worst hair day of her life, without spiky hair gel. Anyway, mum was helping me move into the Penn dorm, which was insanely nice, and I found that on my hall were Tina Lalangas (my best friend in 5th grade), Jenny Branson, Tanja, and Carrot, among about 15 faceless others. I shared a dorm with Tina. The first night was an anime cosplay party, so I chose to go as Ed from Cowboy Bebop. As I searched my closet for something suitably androgynous, Mother confusedly hovering over my shoulder, I found in a drawer a giant clown pillow, a marionette of a demented blue dog, and quite a few other "what the hell"s. I eventually found a satisfying-enough outfit and ran off to find Tanja.
Craziness. Priscilla said at 10:48 AM I suppose I might as well explain why I detest crotches so. Here, have a cookie. Lovely background inspired by a conversation with the inimitable Alicey. 'Tis an illustration for a fanfic, because I'm a complete t00b like that. And no, that's not the earth, it's a metal sphere. Bah. Hopefully, I'll finish this tomorrow (erm... which is now today). Whee! ::performs the obligatory Alan Cumming/fuzzy damp blue elf-mutant squee-dance and runs away::
Comments would be lovely. :) Priscilla said at 1:42 AM I just got an email entitled "Tis the Season", whose text consisted of the word "pillage." 41 times. My day has fulfilled its surrealism quotient.

Sam, Monica, Jen and I hereby declare that MWPP now stands for "Men With Pretty Pants". Adjust all resources accordingly.
Priscilla said at 11:56 PM I LOFF MY ALICEY
Priscilla said at 7:37 PM Word to the wise: Reading Bridget Jones' Diary while exercising is a very bad thing. I apply her insecurities to myself, and I feel like a fat blob. Wah.
Priscilla said at 7:33 PM Item #27 on my list of "Things That Are Wrong With The World"
Priscilla said at 12:24 PM Hee! My reason for detesting crotches will become apparent in the next few days, perhaps even today if I get enough work done.
And because this entry has no real point, I'll distract you from that fact with this list of Calvin and Hobbes quotes! Priscilla said at 12:12 PM

I HATE CROTCHES.
Priscilla said at 9:32 PM Blogger was on crack this morning. Wah. Anyway, last night I dreamed that I found The One Ring in a used bookstore. And when Sauron started chasing after me (I knew he would catch up any second), I had to choose either to run away as fast as possible or pay for my books first. I chose to risk Sauron's wrath and pay for the books.
I need psychologial help. Priscilla said at 4:03 PM

Updating my BlogBack comment code. Cross your fingers for no bugs.
Priscilla said at 9:25 PM 
You are Stardust! You are whimsical, creative, and spirited. You might be seen as naive and foolhardy, which is a little true, but it can also be called bravery. Youre idealistic and people might think youre a little off because you talk about some strange things. You probably love nature, whether its you love animals, nature walks or just admiring it from afar. Youre a creative person and like to write short stories or poems and draw and paint. You have a sly, self-depreciating sense of humor and are a blast to be with because of your adventurous personality. Which Neil Gaiman book are you? Dude, this reminds me. I haven't finished Stardust yet! I was reading it, then I misplaced it, so I started reading something else. When I found it again, it had lost its place in the queue. Hmm, maybe when I finish Bridget Jones... I hope I haven't lent it out. Priscilla said at 12:11 AM

I laughed until I cried. New quote of the day:
Alicey: my heart has been crushed! Alicey: mon and sam vimes have married! Sam: Well, you're still her first love. She pines for you, I'm sure. Go on, Moni. Pine. Moni: *pines* Sam: See? Alicey: my hate surrounds me (and it becomes even BETTER when you realize that Alicey is speaking in haiku!) Priscilla said at 10:22 PM Quote of the Day:

Wednesday, June 04, 2003
Does anyone know how to contact Dave Barry? I thought it might be fun to inform him about Blog in Haiku day. Or even Neil Gaiman. He might think it nifty.
Or to put it another way: Let's tell Dave and Neil About Blog-In-Haiku Day! Anyone know how? Priscilla said at 11:11 PM This goes to show that Burkhead kicks all kinds of bootay
(Ha! And I still haven't mentioned your Aural Sects song yet!) Priscilla said at 10:57 PM Why have I spent the past two days searching for Storm/Nightcrawler fanfiction? Someone please stop me before I cause injury to myself and others.

In other news, I am spending 9 days in the presence of Alicey, Maggie, and Steph this July. When did I die and go to heaven? Glee! (For those curious, Kell and I sadly were unable to get together this weekend. I think something was wrong with her cellphone, wah. Oh well.)
