I just watched the new opening credits for Veronica Mars season three.  I don't like them.  The Dandy Warhols "We Used to Be Friends" theme song is slowed down significantly, and is really boring now.  The visuals are tinted red/yellow/orange, and are kind of depressing, and go really slow.  I don't like the order that they put the characters in, putting Julie Gonzalo (Parker) and Chris Lowell (Piz) before Francis Capra (Weevil) and Tina Majorino (Mac).  And there are no "live action" scenes in the credits.  They are all still photos.  There are three stills of LoVe though, which is great.


(That's not from the credits, it's a S3 promo pic.  Isn't it beautiful?)

So.  Tired.  I could not sleep last night.  I didn't take my meds until 12:00 am (my 6 o'clock pm ones too, oops) so they kept me up all night.  I just stayed on LJ and went on amazon.  I should like block amazon from my computer.  For every 2 hours I spend on it I buy 20 dollars worth of stuff.  At least this time I bought a book on how to study smarter and be a better student and how to speed read, two things I need for school, so it wasn't a TOTAL waste (Darn my manic spending!  I once spent $200 dollars on a website in half an hour when I was manic, that's got to stop, lol).  I am going to buy to buy some Richard Dawkins books next, who is this genius atheist, he has the best theories on the universe and simple and complex, and genes, and DNA and absolutely everything having to do with biology and science, he's so intelligent, I want to be like him.  He has a new book coming out in mid-September, called "The God Delusion", it's basically about how religion is the root of all evil, which is kind of an extreme view, but it sounds like an interesting book, so I'm looking forward to it. 

Veronica Mars.  Two words, my salvation.  Oh, how much I love this show.  It is creeping up on Buffy and trying to pass it by.  They are about equal now, but if I had to pick one and only one to watch forever, it would be VM.  It is the best show.  So witty, sassy, smart, funny, cute, involved, and intelligent.  It has the best plot lines of any shows I have yet to watch.  I don't think there is any one episode that I really HATE.  And Kristen Bell looks like Dr. Thayer, which gives me good memories, and makes me cry at the same time, but I still love her, (Kristen and Dr. Thayer). 

I am going to go see Pulse today with Kristen Bell in it.  It's a scary movie, and I don't really like those, they are so incredibly stupid and only have cheap scares and no plot these days, especially the PG-13 ones aimed at teens, but I will go anyway.  She is worth it.  And I am going to clap when her name comes on the screen, like I do when there is a movie with Sarah Michelle Gellar in it (God, I am an obsessive dork).  So hopefully that goes well.

I'm feeling: He looks high, lol.

This is my last day off before work again, ughness.  I want to quit and work somewhere else so bad.  I would love to work at a book store, however, no where is hiring, so that is kind of out of the question.   The second I turn 18 I am going to work at Borders.  I have dreamed of working there  since I was like, 10. 

Shannon is over! I am so happy she is here.  The only thing is that we have been so busy and I'm not used to it, but I really missed her so I'm glad she's here. 

I bought this really really great movie called "Fingersmith".  It's a Victorian-era lesbian-esque movie, very beautiful and involved.  Shannon, Erika and I have only seen the first half of it so far, it is 3 hours long.  It is like number 1,000 out of all the DVD's sold on amazon.   It's like the thousandth most sold out of all the DVD's.  Erika told me it was originally a book, and we found it at Borders yesterday, so I am going to buy it next month when I go back to Border's. 

I got Paste, the magazine.  I saw them offering the subscription on amazon (which, if you can't tell, I live on) and so I bought it at Borders.  It was 8 bucks, but it came with a 23 song CD.  It is like a magazine about all the best things in movies, music, and tv.  It's mostly independent stuff, but not all of it. 

I am going on vacation with my Dad next month.  We are leaving on the 2nd and coming back on the 7th.  It's going to be my brother and sister, my father, my stepmother, and I.  We are going to Pensacola to visit my cousins.  We go there every year, so honestly I'm not very excited.  They want me to go freaking white water rafting, I was like WTF!  ME!  I am like scared of everything, why would I go, seriously.  Just.  No.  So I think I am going to stay home while they go.  They want my stepmom to stay home with me and I am like, umm, its not like I am going to steal anything or destroy the house, I'll be 18 in 6 months and I'm not a bad kid.  Also since I am vegan I don't know like how well they are going to accommodate me, but I can just go to the grocery store myself I guess.

I have been downloading Veronica Mars.  I want to watch the second season before the third one comes out.  I didn't get the chance to watch the whole second season because I was at work.  I am going to start watching it now before the second season comes out on dvd because it like a month and a half from now so I can watch a lot between now and then. 

I need to buy a paid account again, my subscription ran out.  Once I have the money of course.

I'm feeling: chipper

I deleted all of my previous entries.  They seemed so childish and weird, and I don't know, I just didn't want them on my journal anymore.  I am starting anew, afresh, from the beginning.  

Today is the Fourth of July, the anniversary of the birth of the nation (at least I think, I love history, but am not as gifted at the memory part of it as I would like).  I'm over at me father's house, with his new wife, her sister, her sister's husband, and her double amputee father.  We are having a barbecue.  And my being a vegan, barbecues are always quite fun and interesting.  I mean there are plenty of substitutes, veggie hot dogs, burgers, chicken, even ribs, but it makes it difficult for the hosts to make it separately.  And damn my concsious, I always feel bad.  But the animals would feel even worse, so it's ok.  After this, I am going back to my Mom's house and having a barbecue with her and then fireworks. I am going to be so full tonight.

Everyone here is watching a hot dog eating championship.  It is absolutely crazy how someone can eat 5 hot dogs in one minute, I can't even eat one hot dog in 5 minutes.  I don't really even like hot dogs, which is probably why.  The champion is some Japanese guy, he ate 54 freaking hot dogs in 10 freaking minutes.  The new world record.  I wonder what he won.  A lifetime supply of hot dogs perhaps?  (I would barf)

Shannon is moving.  To New Mexico.  Albuquerque.  She was supposed to move here this year.  She was supposed to be with me this year. I was supposed to not be alone.  I don't want to wait a whole other year until we can go the same college together.  It's so far away!  I don't even know if I can even get into George Mason.  I mean my GPA is like above a 3.5, but life always finds a way to disappoint you.  I just want to be with Shannon, that's all.  I want us to go to college at George Mason and graduate with honors, and then I want to go to med school and she go wherever she wants to go, I think she wants to go to grad school.  And I want to go to school in the Boston area, so we can live in Salem like we always dreamed and we can be happy together.  We are going to get an apartment together while we are in GMU, our parents don't think we can, but if I start saving up from my job, and if SHANNON WILL ACTUALLY GET A JOB, then maybe we can.  Maybe we can prove them wrong and not have to live at home.  Because I doubt my Mom will let me live in the crowds of the dorms, she just wouldn't.  We will be together, to talk to each other, and cry, and laugh, and love, and learn, and live and grow, forever.

Veronica Mars Season 2 comes out August 22!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I am SO freaking excited!  Like DYING! excited!  It comes out the same day as Student's Go Vegan Cookbook : Over 135 Quick, Easy, Cheap, and Tasty Vegan Recipes.  I really want it because it has easy recipes that you can make with things that you already have around the house or that you can buy cheap, and they are quick and easy to make, and are things that I would really like, and look really good, I can't wait!  You all should buy it, you can get it off amazon, and it's only $10.74. 

I have been rewatching Buffy.  I'm about halfway through the second season.  I love second season Spike, so badass and rebel-like.  I love him with Dru in this season (although Buffy/Spike triumphs over all) because it shows his soft side.  I love the second season.  I love the sixth best, then the third, second, and fifth tied, I can't pick. 

Anyways, I have to go.  I'm leaving my Dad's house and then driving down to my Mom's house for more Fourth festivities.  Hopefully with this new LJ Renaissance comes more frequent posts.  Especially since I have convinced my boss to lessen my hours from 35 to 39 a week to 25 or less a week.  So hope to write more later.  And I am making my journal so everyone can view it now, I don't want it to be friends only anymore.
