OH. MY. GOD. I have no coherent words. That was the best episode of the season. And the most brutal emotionally. It has me wondering who is going to kill that body. He looks like Nathan, even though he isn't. And now that Peter knows what happened (no matter how much he's claiming he doesn't believe it--he does) and Sylar is back in the body he has to be killed. Dear God, would they have Peter do it? I'd probably cry my eyes out. And Sylar can't transfer to another body. It would be just plain stupid. There is no one else who is immortal (besides Claire, but Noah will not let her go near him) and so even if he does manage to get complete control over another body that body could easily be killed and it would not have the abilities the original body had or the ability to get new ones. Did that make any sense? Okay, I guess I do have some coherent words. That was just...like I said: emotionally brutal. I was gripping my arms and when they saw Nathan's body I gasped out loud. Oh next week...oh Peter... No more words for now...I need to relax... |

It has been awhile, yes? The reason for that is I lost my interest in livejournal for awhile and just as it was kicking up again I broke my right elbow and right wrist. Wow, did that hurt! I'm right handed so it has caused a major problem. I tried learning to write with my left hand, but it takes awhile, can be messy and tires out my left hand easily. I have mastered typing with my left hand, but I have discovered that that tires out my entire left arm. It sucks. I did get my cast off, but I have to go to physical therapy. Breaking joints is a lot different from breaking other bones since they control other bones. My elbow won't bend. I can force it to eith my other arm, but only to a certain point then it hurts. My wrist still needs a soft cast. It has set me back so much. I can't take tests unless it's possible to do orally, all my sculpture projects have been put on hold and ceramics is messy. Plus, I can barely help around the house, which makes me feel really guilty. BAH. Ok..I think I covered quite a lot in one post, don't you? I'll be back soon with Bones, Fringe, So You Think You Can Dance, fanfiction recs, a funny one-shot, possibly a serious one-shot, and hopefully the next chapter of Don't Tell Me Who I Am. Bye for now! |

So, who saw it? I went to the midnight showing with my friends. It was tons of fun and I was pleasantly surprised about how good it was.( Review ) So, that completes my rambling about the sixth movie. I might think of more to say later. I can't wait to see it again. :) |

I may be a fan of some slash pairings now, but generally I can accept it if a pairing I like is just platonic. I was reading this awesome Star Wars story, Old Demons Die Hard, which stars Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon and the amazing Xanatos. Now, Obi-Wan/Xanatos is a pairing I like--and is very rare. As I was reading the story I was really enjoying their platonic relationship, but all of a sudden I found myself thinking it would be great if they would just make out, lol. Bah. I can't believe just a few months ago I hated slash. My friends joke about how I skipped right over just slash and into incest slash, lol. Anyway, go check out the story! |

So, the other night I caught Star Trek: The Next Generation on Sci-Fi. I've always considered myself a huge fan even though I haven't sat down and watched it since I was a kid. So, I decided I would go online and start watching from the beginning. So far, it's been great. The only bad thing is my obsession with Patrick Stewart just grows more as I watch it. Man, I love that guy. He's such a fantastic actor and holds such a presence even though he's not a big guy. He also seems to have not aged in 20 years. ( More thoughts...mild TNG spoilers, of course...if you are one of the rare few who haven't seen it but desire to... ) So, that was my post of disjointed thoughts about why Star Trek: The Next Generation is great. I hope you enjoyed. :) |

Ugh. I am so pissed. Before I tell you, let me set the scene, so to speak. Okay, so my older baby brother is ten. We're really close. He's too old for cuddling (most of the time), but when were hanging out watching TV or a movie or something we hold hands. I don't see anything wrong with it. We are brother and sister and he's freaking ten. According to my parents, though, it's "not right." The other night my Dad even told me to stop doing it. I really wanted to tell him to shut the hell up. If my parents say it's wrong in front of Dante then he will think it's wrong and stop. I'm sorry, but I don't want that to happen. He's growing up so fast and I want to be able to have this until he decides he's too old and it really bugs me that my parents are so against it. I don't understand it, either. What's so wrong with showing love for my brother that way? Bah. Sometimes I want to go all Toph on them :) (Hence the icon) |

Title: Don't Tell Me Who I AmAuthor: mateofangelus Fandom: Heroes Rating: NC-17 Pairing: Peter/Nathan Summary: Post-Duel. Before Nathan speaks publicly about a "threat to society" he orders a quiet capture of his brother. Peter is a prisoner in Nathan's home. This story chronicles Peter's stay with Nathan, and his thoughts and feelings about himself, his life, his current situation and especially his relationship with his brother. Nathan attempts to convince Peter to join him and to stop Peter from becoming someone Nathan doesn't want him to be. Warnings: Incest, explicit sex, some mature language, angst, mental issues Author's Note: It's finally here. The first chapter of my Peter/Nathan centered story! A note about the timeline: Volume 1 ended November 8, 2006 and volume 2 began 4 months later, March 2007. Let's say those events take a month...that brings us to April for the beginning of Volume 3. That seemed to happen relatively quickly, so let's say it ends late April. Clear? Good. Also, thanks to my lovely beta Disclaimer: I own nothing (I really wish that I own Peter, though) ( June 2, 2007 )

So, I saw Angels and Demons Sunday night.( Review )On a completely opposite subject: my two favorite pairings of the moment are Peter/Nathan and Aang/Toph (from Avatar for those of you who don't know...which is bad, go get the DVDs or something it's great...I will fully express my love for it in a later post) I think it's funny because the pairings are so different...although if I really think about it there are a few things quite similar, but I don't want to think about that... Stay flaming! :) |

|---|---|---|---|
Current Mood:
I love film editing. I had seriously considered getting my Masters in film and trying to make a career as a film editor. That's not in the cards anymore, but that's besides the point. I'm good at noticing bad editing. And it really pisses me off that a show like Heroes can mess up so badly. What am I talking about, you ask? The scene where Peter and Nathan are flying into the room in the season finale. When the shot pulls back so the audience can watch them fly in they are suddenly on opposite sides than when they were standing there looking in. It may be a little hard to tell, but I'll be shocked if I'm wrong. I need some stills of the flight to be positive, but I'm 99.9% sure I'm right. It's bad enough the fight is behind closed doors. Fucking up the editing before the doors closed is just...so I'm a snob about it, I know. It still bugs me.On a different note about that scene...I love how Claire is thrown out the door. It seems to imply Sylar doesn't take rejection well, lol. Rec of the Day...wow, it's been awhile... Shades of Light is a Star Wars story where Xanatos is Obi-Wan's master.(Shame on you if you don't know who Xan is ; ) ) Qui-Gon and Xanatos aren't speaking because of what happened on Telos. When they meet again after eight years things don't go well...and Obi-Wan gets caught in the cross-fire a lot. |

I woke up this morning and found out our office had been robbed. They took 2 laptops, a TV and all of the tools in the storage area. Both of our businesses (Building and Renovations business and a Sprayfoam insulation business) were already struggling as it was and now this! We don't have the money to replace any of the things stolen. That isn't an exaggeration, either. This is devastating. The thing I can't understand is how nobody heard it (there are tons of homes right by the office) They had to have a truck to carry all of it and they broke the window, so...That's besides the point, though. I don't know what we are going to do. My mom was crying. My mom never cries. I don't know what I can do and I don't know what I can say. I feel so helpless. I can tell them not to pay me (I work for them), but I'm blanking for anything else I can do. I guess I can drop out of college and try to get another job to help pay for things. I don't know! I don't know anything. I'm so confused and worried and upset. Seeing my mom cry like that broke my heart and I couldn't do anything except hug her because I am so useless. I have to try to calm down, I know. I have to be strong for my family |

Sometimes I find myself wondering things about fandom. Like, who starts things? Examples:Who is the first person to think of a pairing name? Who was the one who first dubbed the dog in Danny Phantom 'Cujo'? Who was the first one to write Peter Petrelli as a slut? Who started the term "Jossed"? Who started the trend of Obi-torture? These things are in fandom so much that they are basically accepted as canon! So, how does it start?! Yes, nobody has the answer, I know. Still, it'd be interesting to find out... I'm so weird |

It's three weeks after the season finale of Heroes and suddenly I have been thrown into mourning over Nathan. I was okay, I was. I was looking at things objectively and thinking that this is Heroes we're talking about and anything can happen and this might actually be a good plot twist. Now, after everyone else has probably gotten over it (or at least moved on from the mourning stage), I am feeling genuine grief over his death. I'm afraid it will really hit me when Heroes comes back in September. I keep trying to tell myself that he'll be back, the real him...it can happen! Telling myself that isn't helping. I'm to the point where I wish I had a life size Nathan plush doll to hug. God, I'm pathetic...and too tired and upset to post a rec. |

I was just watching this Star Trek thing on the History Channel. It was really interesting. I won't get into details, except for one thing. They showed this college professor who is aspiring to create technology to basically turn people into Borg. How scary is that? He has already been able to control a robot by putting a chip in his arm and then he said something about controlling the entire internet. And then he was talking about creating technology so people could talk telepathically. I keep wondering why the guy hasn't been arrested. |

Apparently, there are many people in Washington becoming pro-legalization of marijuana and using taxes on it to help the economy. I not only agree with this, but I also think it's a brilliant idea. If you look at the figures presented in the article you can see how legalizing and taxing marijuana would be highly beneficial to our economy. People are going to continue to smoke marijuana no matter what, why not get a good use out of it? A budget cure: Marijuana taxes? |
