This world may be ugly

( And Katie, Katie I'm sorry that in your condition the sunshine's been missing but Katie, don't believe that it isn't there. )

( Oh and Katie, Katie be happy, this world can be ugly, but isn't it beautiful? We're not really here, and we're really not there )

( Comment stats! - Just me )

I'm watching "The Real Merlin and Arthur" while I fold laundry right now.

Bradley James is wearing a 'Florida State Seminoles' shirt.

On one hand, yay Florida.

On the other... come on, Bradley. Pick a better team than FSU. Go Gators (UF!)

Lots of cleaning today, but I have time for a meme!

1. My username is katie_courtney because it's my name.  I wanted just plain 'katie' but it was taken, bastards.

2. My name is Oh and Katie, Katie be happy because it's a line from the Jack's Mannequin song 'Katie' which as the question above states, is my name.

3. My journal is titled This world may be ugly because it's also a line from 'Katie'.  The subheading finishes the line: "but isn't it beautiful?" My Friends title is the line immediately after that: "We're not really here, but we're really not there."

4. My default userpic is a daisy because it matched the picture on my userinfo.  And I like daisies.

GUYS

I HAVE THE BEST HUSBAND EVER

NO, EVER

GUESS WHAT I'M GETTING FOR MY BIRTHDAY???

I'M GOING TO SEE RENT ON MY BIRTHDAY!! IN ORLANDO!! STARRING ADAM PASCAL AND ANTHONY FUCKING RAPP!!!!

RENT is the classic musical about love, friendship and community, and the seventh longest-running show in Broadway history. Now, RENT is coming to YOUR CITY in a new touring production starring original Broadway cast members Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp!

I AM SO EXCITED I CAN'T EVEN BREATHE.

I saw a commercial for it while watching ANTM and I called him babbling and not even coherent and he just laughed and went "Go buy them, happy birthday."

IT'S RENT!!! RENT!!

I HAVE HAD RENT MEMORIZED FOR A DECADE!!

RENT!!!!!!!!

The weatherman on the Weather channel just said: "In the immortal words of Nelly, it's getting hot in here."

I may have choked on my dried papaya.

GUYS!

I think I caught up on the Snaps Cup meme!!

Please please PLEASE tell me if I missed you because I promise it was completely accidental and I really have things I love about everyone that I want to say, so tell me if I missed you!!

I always feel so happy after Snaps Cups!! If the double exclamation points didn't give it away!!

ALSO ALSO! Thank you to everyone who responded to mine. You made me smile SO MUCH when I got to read them. I feel really lucky to get to play with all of you :D

ETA: Pictures from the Shower are up in the last post!

I love Merlin

( Spoilers from the last ep )

iTunes meme Answers. All in all you guys did well. I'm shocked no one got the Mariah Carey song. Did no one listen to MTV in 1998?

Lucy!! James is making me use this icon for Rhiannon. Even if the actual quote refers to his grandfather. wtfe, same name :-P And hopefully he cheered her up a bit? Paperwork is the best thing that ever happened to him, I swear.

On episode 3x08 of Dexter. Just have a 3P sample and a quick edit for Eddie left. It's not nearly as detailed as I like, but Eddie is being difficult so it'll do. Today I have to do filing with Jason, organize the laundry room, dishes, laundry, grocery shopping, and make soup. So... I'll do Eddie tonight. I was going to do him when I woke up at 3am, but, uh, I got distracted with the shit storm. And after I just wanted to watch Dexter

I've spent the past two days watching Dexter. I'm halfway through Season 2.

I blame tinmiss for taunting me with Evil!Hugo. It's really creepy seeing sweet little Hugo all excited about killing things.

I need to clean my house and I can't stop watching.

And I hate this Lila bitch.

Lucy! I'm using the creepy Jack icon just for you. Since you creeped me out with sociopath!Hugo first.

ETA: ( Is it a Spoiler if this happened 2 seasons ago? )
ETA II: Why can't I stop?! It's 11am, I NEED to clean. I'll finish Season 2 and then stop.

I swear.

Comment with one of my characters (past or present) and I will tell you the following:

1. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.
2. One of his/her best traits.
3. One of his/her worst traits.
4. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.
5. The story/thread/chapter/post/paragraph/tag/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.
6. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future.

Also, I am:

Okay, so I'm going to post the answers to the iTunes meme on Saturday, BUT. As it's the halfway point, I thought I'd add more lines to the remaining songs and see if they jog any memories.

There are 4 2 songs that have been half guessed (artist guessed, song title not guessed)
There are 20 12 songs that haven't been guessed at all.

Go HERE to try again!!

Icon in honor of the Psych finale tonight.

So my internet gave out for a bit.  Fail.  What do I do without internet?

iTunes meme.

Anyways, I can't find the real rules so I'm ad libbing:
*50 songs, I list the first few lines
*You guess.  And you don't cheat.  No google, no going to my last.fm, no asking someone.  Just... guess if you know it.  God is watching.  And every time you cheat you make Baby Jesus cry.  Remember that.
*First come, first serve.  Meaning if you came to this late and even if you didn't read any of the other guesses... I'm not going to count your guess if someone got there first.
*If you only get half the answer I'll give you half the credit.
*If the song title was in the first line I instead used the second.  I'll put this [] before the lyric so you know I skipped a line.
Example: I am colorblind [] coffee black and egg white
*No artist repeats (I think. I may have missed one or two.  Hopefully not though!)
*If a song is a cover, I'll accept the original singer and/or the cover artist


12 Unguessed Songs Remaining
2 Half Guessed Songs Remaining


Lucy, Churl, I'll tag you both tomorrow!!!

BEST DAY EVER

Got accepted as Lily for 91

Am in Sunrise visiting my family

Had an amazing glass of wine

AND THE DOLPHINS BEAT THE MOTHERFING JETS!



My life is complete.

This is why I should never sleep in when my husband has a day off from work.

I knew that Lord of the Rings marathon was a bad idea.

The last second of the video makes the entire thing worthwhile.

JEN!!!! (jehn)

Ana's notes will get better... I promise!! She's just :| right now at being paired with him.

But she'll come around!! It'll just be a ~process~

ETA: ALSO, JEN! I am sorry that you have to suffer through Rhia/James spammage. I AM. They don't stop ever. Lari can attest

Comment with one of my characters (and one of yours for #3) and I will tell you:

5 icons that I feel best represent them
4 icons I don't use often enough
3 icons that best represent my character's feelings towards yours
2 icons that are my favorites
1 icon that doesn't really fit the character, but I can't live without.

So it's my one year anniversary at bravenew_mod with james2point0 Woo hoo!! (I think my 1 year at hexennacht is coming up soon too, IIRC) So I'm celebrating by redoing James profile since he's drugged out in Mungo's right now. Back when the Facebook Profile spree was happening at BNW I accidentally deleted James' real profile and have been meaning to rewrite it... and haven't. Sigh. Trying to remember everything is such a pain in the ass.

Here it is so far. I need to do the two big sections still (Personality and History), but I'm burnt out on James' shit load of family he made me do blurbs for. I KNOW things are different from his original profile, but I don't remember what it was so I just said "hell with it" and put it how I think it should be.

We'll see how the rest adds up when I start on Personality.

And if anyone can think of other Random Facts about James I'd be happy to add them.

crackers drew me a cake too!!

Um, yeah that's about it for today.
