You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.



Please copy the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out."

( Here are my answers =] )

There's been drama at school involving my band director and a student's status on Facebook. She saw it before he took it off and turned him in because it was him threatening to hurt himself and potentially other students. I can guess that it was stress from the semester that brought it on, but he still shouldn't have done it. She did what she was legally supposed to do as a person of authority.

Here's where I get pissed off.

( Venting...language warning... )

I have so much bubbling inside me...I don't think I've scraped the surface.

1. I'm second chair in the wind ensemble at school! I get to play first clarinet, finally!

2. I have an easy day tomorrow. =]

3. I'm going to two parties this week.

4. I'm wearing my Andy shirt! It's a black and blue plaid button-up shirt. I can really call it that since I saw a pic of him wearing a jacket with the exact same color and pattern (thank you LJ). In my defense, I liked it *before* I saw that pic. Plaid's been my favorite pattern since before my TLI obsession ^_^

5. I'm about to have some amazing coffee...at 7 PM. XD

6. I got to hang out at home for about an hour with my mom, Oreo, and Pumpkin.

Life rocks, enough said =] Have some Jorma icon awesomeness.

Okay, I stole this idea from...I can't remember how to spell her LJ name! Only 3 pics up right now, but I'll put more up when I can find all of them.

( Click if you dare... XD )

Things I *want* to do
1. Play Sims 3. I need to work on my legacies (Samberg and Davies) as well as play around with my new family -- a female devil that I made and a Grim Reaper I downloaded. They have a kid named Desperation. He's a cutie for an evil kid. I wish I had more pics of the Samberg legacy. Kiva was very pretty as a young adult. Her son Jorma was hot XD not gonna lie...

2. Read! I just started Breaking Dawn. For the second time in under a year.

(ooh SNL promo...and never before aired moments?! yeah!)

3. Relax and generally enjoy myself. I haven't been able to do very much of this lately, so I need to. Burnout is a bad thing, yo.

4. Go somewhere! I'm hoping a trip to a city is in store. I'm so tired of the town where my college is and would love to spend a day in a bigger place.

Things I need to do
1. Practice. I have a performance and an audition next week.

2. Write...

3. Make icons. I now have two fangirlish obsessions to screencap from, so that should fuel my creativity. I'm hoping.

4. Sleep!! XD

Also, I want a new mood theme. Can somebody direct me to one? Please? I'll give you a cookie...and this song is super-creepy. But I like it.

1) Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/bands etc. that you've had an obsessive fannish love or interest in at some time in your life.

2) Have your f-list guess your favorite character/member from each item.

3) When someone guesses correctly, strikethrough the item and put the name of your favorite character next to it.

1. Saturday Night Live/The Lonely Island (they go hand-in-hand) - Andy Samberg
2. Whose Line is it Anyway? US - Jeff Davis
3. Whose Line is it Anyway? UK - Tony Slattery
4. QI - Alan Davies
5. Green Day
6. Panic! at the Disco
7. Fall out Boy
8. House, MD - Gregory House
9. Harry Potter
10. The Twilight Saga - Edward Cullen
11. Wicked
12. The Drew Carey Show

Okay, so I only have 12, and some of them are pretty obvious XD My icon has nothing to do with any of my answers. Hint -- look at some of the tags I use quite often...ahem.

I love inside jokes with my friends! This is one between Jennifer and me. Yes, Andy Samberg is involved.

( Cut for sheer fangirlish stupidity )

Another joke of ours involves calling Twix candy bars pinkies (as in the pinky finger), which is another reference to The Lonely Island!

I love her, pretty much. She's the Akiva (Kiv) to my Andy. She did call me the female Andy simply becaused I noticed that we have things in common, haha. Probably a joke, but who cares? Or, for you non-SNL fans who like WL, the Colin to my Ryan. In other words, she's my best friend. For life. I hung out with her for two hours today, and they were the best two hours of my day. Loads of pervy jokes, the development of the aforementioned inside joke, and general awesomeness. I need to do it more often.

Fall Break is almost here. I can feel it! I'm needing this break from school. Things are getting a little crazy, and I just need time to breathe, relax, and not worry about things. I'm really looking forward to it. Loads of Sims for me! I really don't want my Samberg legacy to reach generation 10 because then I'll have to end it. Maybe Story Progression will keep me going for a long time. I love that legacy. I'm gonna let my 10th generation be Andrea/Andrew...see where I'm going? Of course, there won't be curly hair or any features that resemble the real one, but hey. With my luck he'll have red hair. Or purple-streaked black hair. That would be funny! I'm not sure how I got from Fall Break to Sims, but it works.

Um...I think that's about it with my life. Really looking forward to SNL this week. Andy *and* a guy with a real Scottish accent? Hotness overload!!! If it was Craig Ferguson, I'd be in heaven. It's Gerard Butler. It's cool. Speaking of, Andy did a pretty damn good fake Scottish accent last week. I looked past the fact that he was dressed as a duck and just swooned. I love men with accents. Accents, curly hair, and a sense of humor = major swoon-age.

Okay, I'm really gonna go now.

I stole this from...somebody XD I can't remember who!

( I tried not to write an essay for each... )

^^ Regarding Ardy, a sitcom-format thing by The Lonely Island. I love these guys, especially Andy. He's the one that's lying (laying?) down and giving the words after the sucky Brooke Shields introduction. In other words, he's the guy with the curly hair. Yum, curly hair. This one is sooo much better than their first one.

Edit - Jorm is adorable with the guitar in the credits, what with his gorgeous smile and things. And Andy's credit...I think you can guess my opinion on this one.

Edit edit - I made an Andy userpic! I love how it turned out. I think I'm going to stick with GIMP's hard light setting instead of soft light. I have a Jorm userpic too. It'll show up tomorrow, probably.

I remember Alan mentioning a website that listed all of the phobias on an episode of QI -- I can't remember which one -- so my best friend and I immediately found it. I think this is what he was referring to.

Phobia List

Also, Picknik. I love edting photos, and this is an online thing that lets you do that for free. It can make some really pretty photos, too.

I have a fanfic from my good friend luvstoriesover at wliialove. It's a Drew Carey Show fic called Have a Little Faith in Me.

Link - Have a Little Faith in Me

Book...I'm going to recommend Craig Ferguson's books. Between the Bridge and the River is very funny yet insightful at the same time. I've read it twice, and I love it. American on Purpose is excellent too. His story of recovery just makes me admire him that much more.

The gorgeous Andy Samberg (albeit, I prefer him w/slightly curly hair and a not-sad/confused facial expression) and Jorma Taccone -- on the right -- looking model-esque!

Liz Phair - Somebody's Miracle

An awesome song. I really think it fits me lyrically. I wanted to put a song by The Lonely Island as this part of the meme, but I'll save that one for later.

My usual post-SNL review...AWESOME! The cold opening was great. I think it's high time they slammed Obama after thrashing Palin/McCain all last season. I'm not seeing it from a political standpoint -- don't get me wrong, it was very political and I agree w/whoever wrote it -- but it's only fair. Slag one side, slag the other. Not a big fan of Fred Armisen playing Obama, but they really don't have much to work with for that. I loved Ryan Reynolds as host. He's absolutely gorgeous (though Andy Samberg still has my eye and crush-heart) and he didn't suck! Bill Hader is still kinda creepy.

This week's Digital Short cracked me up. The Lonely Island (Jorm, Kiv, and the aforementioned A.S.) did sooo much better with this one! They've still got it. It might have been a little too early for the Mackenzie Phillips jokes, but the Osmond portrayal was great. Seeing Andy as K-Fed cracked me up. I was too busy staring to notice that he was in a fat suit! Gave me an excuse to stare upwards...I'm a sucker for guys with pretty eyes, and Andy definitely falls into that category. *blush* The MTV 4 show was very funny. I love how they poked fun at Lady GaGa.

Paparazzi was awesome, but LoveGame could've been so much better if she had stuck to the actual song. I giggled a LOT at the end because Andy was in the infamous bubble dress, and there was "flirting" (I say that in quotations b/c it was scripted!). I wish Jennifer had been on MSN b/c that would've ended up in me jokingly saying something to the effect of "She better back off my man!!!" XD It takes a man w/confidence to do something like that ending sketch, I think.

Anywho. :)

I'm re-watching QI because I haven't done that in ages. I'm on the last episode of Series A right now. I'm sort of looking forward to Series B because it has some of my favorite moments -- the magnetic letter boards, Alan's sailor buzzer, and if I'm not mistaken, zee peenk polenta! I could go on. I really wish I had a way to watch the new series when it airs. Sigh. It's what I get for loving a show that's not aired in my country.

I've got a long weekend coming up, and I'm really looking forward to it. Lots of Sims! Speaking of, my legacy founder Kiva Samberg (named after Akiva Schaffer, and she's Andy's made-up daughter) and her townie husband Leighton have died. Now their son Jorma (named for Jorma Taccone), his townie wife Maricela, their daughter Francesca, and her husband Jason (townie originally named August, I changed his name to Jason for Jason Sudeikis) live in the house. Kiva and Leighton are ghosts! They come back at really odd hours, but I love it. If I had pics, I'd show them. I already have all ten generations' names planned out :)

Alright, that's enough rambling and fangirling from me. *lots of hugs*

I had a dream with Andy Samberg in it. I am officially happy.

Yes, for the first time in years. I have two parties to go to, so I need to dress up, haha.  I'm going to be Juliet! I don't plan it until October b/c I'm just lazy. And I have trouble keeping things like that a secret :)

I've neglected you people...I'm sorry! 

SNL premiered its new season last night. It was actually pretty funny! Megan Fox was a terrible choice as host, though. Her monologue proved that she's as dumb as a rock, and all of the jokes revolved around "oh, she's hot." I don't think she is. The lack of Andy Samberg was appalling too! He was in one sketch before the first musical guest, wrote or co-wrote the Digital Short more than likely, and was in another sketch near the end. I feel terrible for the girl who accidentally said fucking instead of fricking. It was her VERY first sketch on the show, too. Poor girl! I love how Seth Meyers (head writer) stood next to her and comforted her during the goodnights. Such a gentlemanly act. Kenan's sketch about "spicing up the love life" was great until Megan Fox showed up and played a hooker. Again. The commercial spoofing the "phone chat" lines was hilarious. Bill Hader's expression creeped me out though. Will Forte has a buzzcut...um what? Darrell Hammond is gone. Sad, sad, sad! I'm hoping Ryan Reynolds makes up for Megan Fox's epic failure as a host. I hate her, and last night just strengthened it. And more Andy Samberg, PLEASE! He can do more than write digital shorts...come on!

School is going well. I made an A on my first Theory IV test, and I've gotten A's on both homework assignments. My part-writing was perfect for the first time ever. I think it all has to do with the teacher. I did very well in his Fundamentals of Theory class and barely scraped B's in Theory I-III with a different teacher, so that has to be it. My Theory IV teacher isn't bad to look at either, but that would be more of a hindrance, right? I got an A on my first conducting test, yay! The listening classes in my studio are going well. I kind of got in trouble for my reaction when I found out that we only had to give the piece and composer for the first listening test after I spent all day taking notes...I guess I was letting my frustration about spending all day researching get to me. I felt terrible after my teacher lectured me. I was seriously about to cry, even after she told me not to feel bad. This time, when I got the test and saw what we had to give for answers, I kept my mouth shut. I learned.

I am an official MIT of Sigma Alpha Iota! I was inducted a week ago today. My big sister isn't a music major, but she's in my studio. Very cool. She gave me a bottle of my favorite soda, a bag of my favorite candy, a couple of my favorite flowers (fake ones), and some star stickers. All in a green basket. I have a notebook to write down information that I need to know...with a green pen! She knows me, I swear. haha. I can't wait until I become an active! My pledge sisters are wanting to get some sort of friendship thing...I know what it is, but I'm not allowed to talk about it. I'm nervous about what it is though.

I'm currently re-reading Between the Bridge and the River and waiting to read American on Purpose. Both by Craig Ferguson, of course. BtBatR is such a good book! I'm hoping that AoP is too. I'm a Craig Ferguson fan...can you tell? XD
