You're My iPod

I did this for fun, but I was so amused by the answers I needed to share it.

In other news, I love my iPod. It's so random.

1. Put your itunes, ipod, windows media player, etc. on shuffle. 

(Stella <3) 

2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.

(Really? I'd never of thought of doing that.)

3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS.

(-awkward I-skipped-some-songs-anyway cough-)

4. Tag 20 people (make me your #21 so I can see your results)

(Posting this on my blog, people.)

5. Everyone tagged has to do this.

(If anyone wants to do this, go ahead.)

(WOO!)

In other news, AHGJNWPIUFENVUP9WERNVPEUVER I FINISHED ANGEL: A MAXIMUM RIDE NOVEL. EJWVIEWLBVWEIORUBVWEVBWEUIRYVBUOEWBVUOWYERGBVUBAWRV.

OHMYG.

In which I like thumbs.

(I would like to apologize in advance for spelling mistakes. I typed this while looking at the words in the book and not my hands or the screen. And then was too lazy to edit it. I'm sure you can understand what I mean.)


"The ending of a book is, in my experience, both the best and the worst part to read. For the ending will often decide whether you love or hate the book.

"Both emotions lead to disappointment. If the ending was good, and the book was worth your time, then you are left annoyed and depressed because there us no more book to read. However, if the ending was bad, then it's too late to stop reading. You're left annoyed and depressed because you wasted so much time on a book with a bad ending.

"Therefore, reading is obviously worthless, and you should go spend your time on other, more valuable pursuits. I hear algebra is good for you. Kind of like humility, plus factoring. Regardless, you will soon know whether to hate me for not writing more, or whether to hate me for writing too much. Please confine all assassination attempts to the school week, as I would rather not die on a Saturday."

"I apologize for that last chapter. It was far too deep and ponderous. At this rate, it won't be long before this story departs speaking of evil Librarians, and instead turns into a terribly boring tale about a lawyer who defends unjustly accused field hands.

"What do mockingbirds have to do with that, anyway?"

"You could even scan to the end and read the last page. Know that by doing so, however, you would violate every holy and honorable story-telling principle known to man, thereby throwing the universe into chaos and causing grief to untold millions.

"Your choice."

And on the very last page...

"And so, untold millions screamed out in pain, and then were suddenly silenced. I hope you're happy.

"(This was included for anyone who skipped forward to read the last page of the book. For the rest of you -- the ones who reached the last page in the proper, honorable, Smedry-approved matter -- those untold millions are cheering in praise of your honesty.

"They'll probably throw you a party.)"

"Some people assume that authors write books because we have vivid imaginations and want to share our vision. Other people assume that authors write because we are bursting with stories, and therefore must scribble those stories down in moments of creative propondidty.

"Both groups of people are completely wrong. Authors write books for one, and only one, reason: because we like to torture people.

"Now, actual torture is frowned upon in civilized society. Fortunately, the authorial community has discovered in storytelling an even more powerful -- and more fulfilling -- means of causing agony in others. We write stories. And by doing so,  we engage in a perfectly legal method of doing all kinds of mean and terrible things to our readers.

"Take, for instance, the word I used above. Propondidty. There is no such word -- I made it up. Why? Because it amused me to think of thousands of readers looking up a nonsense word in their dictionaries.

"Authors also write lovable, friendly characters -- then proceed to do terrible things to them (like throw them in unsightly, Librarian-controlled dungeons), This makes readers feel hurt and worried for the characters. The simple truth is that authors like making people squirm. If this weren't the case, all novels would be filled completely with cute bunnies having birthday parties."

Which reminds me, I found a blog called Hyperbole and a Half. My favourite's the one about the Alot.

I also have Tumblr.

(The quotes, by the way, are from Alcatraz versus the Evil Librarians by 'Brandon Saderson.')

(...)

In which the blogger gets deviantART'd.

Wait, Hannah has a deviantART?

Why yes, yes I do. elektriccurrent, at your service.

Though not really, I don't want to be someone's servant. Sorry?

In other news, sporadically posting is kinda working. I always look at my blog on my 'Top Sites' in Safari, shrug and think 'I'll post later.' And how later has it been? A month! Over a month!

Insaaaaaaaaaaane.

I also got Doctor Who'd. Kinda took me long enough. I mean, I've been thinking for months 'I really need to watch Doctor Who sometime.' And I finally have!

So far, I've watched a bit of Christopher Eccleston (sp?), a couple David Tennant, and that's pretty much it. No matter, it's AMAZING. Except for Rose, The Doctor's companion. I really don't like her, and she reminds me of Drusilla from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

But Christoper Eccleston's small ears, big nose and grin makes up for that, plus David Tennant's awesome hair and brilliantness.

In the next bit of brilliance, A Very Potter Musical.

Keep watching to the second part, it is most definitely worth it.

That was the Apokolokyntosis; now onto Music. (I know, this is going to be a GIANT post!)

Lately I've also been YouTube'd. I've been watching A LOT of music lately. Bands I've been listening to are:

-ALL CAPS
-The Parselmouths
-Ministry of Magic
-Moaning Myrtles
-Regina Spektor
-Stars
-Tom Felton
-Lauren Fairweather/Armoured Bearcub

Not much variety, now that I think of it. Heh.

Anywho, you lot should all listen to this song:



(I know, branching out, right? VIDEO! And I just realized how to change the font. Awesome day for being technical. Wooooo! 
EDIT: the video isn't fitting normally, so I'm afraid you'll have to deal with it being a bit big.)

And now onto books.

I really really really really really really (x354768) need/want to read The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan. I mean, it's companion series to Percy Jackson and the Olympians!  SO EXCITED. 

And I heard it's brilliant.

In other news, I've been reading Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare lately, and I really really need to read Clockwork Angel. PLUS, there are THREE MORE BOOKS COMING OUT. That's also pretty darn exciting.

The plot of the books so far (City of Bones, City of Ash, City of Glass) is actually kinda really weird, but the amazing characters and plot twists definitely make up for it.

Plus, there's Jace.

Another book I've read lately (well, late December) is The Boyfriend List by E. Lockhart, which I would recommend to pretty much anyone. There's a smart and sensible heroine as a main character (like Frankie Landau-Banks; I don't really care that much to link back to that post again)and a sensible plot, and is generally amazing.

Book: None so far, until I get The Lost Hero.
Music: Stars vs. Montag, The Black House, The Blue Sky/Stars, Time Can Never Kill The True Heart
Mood: Tired. Bored. Etc.
