I haven't post in a while, a long, long while. But I figured I would do a little meme to let people know whats up in my life.

01) Are you currently in a serious relationship? Yes! 1 year at the end of this month. It is crazy because our work schedules are completely not meshing right now, but we both have jobs so that is a bonus. This is the longest I have ever been in a relationship and I am really fuzzy on the future (mainly I am really starting to dislike where we are living) but I love him.

02) What was your dream growing up? When I was in second grade I wanted to be a figure skater. This is hilarious considering how clumsy/coordinated I am.

03) What talent do you wish you had? Being a better judge of character

04) If I bought you a drink what would it be? I am pretty easy, but I have been enjoying some hard cider lately and whiskey is always a favorite.

05) Favorite vegetable? Broccoli or zucchini

06) What was the last book you read? Um... I pretty much get all my reading needs from fanfic now

07) What zodiac sign are you? Cancer(July 18th)

08) Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Explain where. Nope, I like them but I am not sure about on me. I freaked out about changing my body with braces and have had the same hairstyle since I was ten.

09) Worst Habit? Not cleaning my appartment/laundry on the bedroom floor

10) Do you have a Pessimistic or Optimistic attitude? My boyfriend always says I am a pessimist, but I just think I am a realist.

11) Do you have any pets? I have no pets but I really want a kitten to play with.

12) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be? If I could have Tonks ability to change my hair however I wanted at the moment that would be freaking cool. Otherwise I always thought I would be taller,I stopped growing in 6th/7th grade.

13) Ever been arrested? No, but I have had a reoccurring nightmare about getting pulled over in my car that has no insurance or tags when I lost my license.

14) If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it? First I would open up two bank accounts: one savings account and one to put money into to pay off some of my debt. I would probably split the 10k into 5k for paying off loans(780 to get current and pay off the rest of the year) and 3k savings. Then I would use the other 2k on buying a computer, getting satellite radio, netflix, and going out to dinner with my boyfriend on a date and the clothes to go on it. The rest I would save for buying christmas present because right now it looks as if I am going to be dead fucking broke then.

15) What's your favorite place to hang out at? Why home of course, ideally I will get to broaden my horizons if I move and their is a cool bar that has indie/electronic shows

16) Favorite thing to do in your spare time? All of my spare time right now is spent reading fanfic

17) Favorite and least favorite food? Cheese or really good fruit//Ham and Beans

18) Do you believe in God? No

19) What is the worst thing that has happened to you at work? I lost my phone :(, the third one this year

*edited to fix formatting

meh is the exact definition of my day, I really can't wait for the next four weeks to just get the fuck over with already. In an effort to cheer myself up, ( a black and white bandom picspam(some images are very large) )

Post your favorites that I missed.

In other news, I can not stop listening to this song today, it's addictive.

WTF four of these pictures won't show up, alfred, jeph, gerard, and drums >:(.

The Dark Knight how so awesome?

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I have called four friends tonight. They have answered the phone by saying: 1) Hey, what's up? 2) HI! 3) Wait who are you? Your breaking up. 4) What do you want?

Ahahaha, because 4 is my best friend.

Anyway, HI new friends I should do an info thing I suppose.



Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like I will be around much this weekend because I just found out two of my really good friends are coming to KC/Topeka for the weekend on top of me going to see the Dark Knight(so excited), celebrating my birthday(hopefully not lame), babysitting for my sister, and going to my nephews birthday party. ILU all ♥

Any questions? I will answer any/all questions you have, no matter how personal/crazy/silly.

Today has been crappy for a variety of reasons, which I didn't even realize until someone called me Gabe on the internet and I got really sad. Then I read this primer on him and I think I might love him. Like the basement shit and the vegetarianism and the punk ideals and finding meaning in life and everything. ♥

Clearly I have gone insane, I think it might be time for bed now if I can manage to fall asleep. One day I might actually have meaningful content? IDK, IDK.

It is Monday morning and I am going through the 70-ish tabs I have open from this weekend. Reading, tagging, ignoring, etc and I just started to think what exactly they say about me. I mean I could make a checklist including a wide variety of kinks/cliches based on the fic I have open and I want to reread it all /o\. It makes me really wonder what the people on my delicious network think about me.

-- When you see this meme immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun.

1. Go to you Desktop and press the Print Screen key (located on the right side of the F12 key -- or if you're a mac user, press Command + Shift + number 3 key).
2. Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and do a Paste (CTRL + V).
3. Post the picture on your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop if you want. You can explain why you prefer such a look or why it is full of icons. Things like that.

( Desktop Pic under the cut )

It was very fortunate I just cleaned up my desktop last night.

1. Leave me a comment saying anything random, like your favorite lyric to your current favorite song. Or your favorite kind of sandwich. Something random. Whatever you like.
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. You WILL update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions.

From lucia_tanaka:

1. What is your username in reference to? And why not grey vs blue?

Haha, it's actually not all that clever or anything. I decided to get a new lj and I didn't want a fandom related username because I was so multifannish. I was trying to think of a suitable username while I was reading a bbcnews article on the how the red squirrel is being overtaken by the grey squirrel in england. The grey squirrels carry a disease that kills the red ones slowly. So, since squirrels are inherently evil, I thought it would make an appropriate username, but then my brain went off into a tangent about my favorite colors. How I could never chose between them, especially considering those were the two colors(blue and grey/black) I ended up choosing between every morning because I only owned those two colors of clothing at the time. And thus bluevsgrey. Not grey vs blue because it isn't in alphabetical order.

2. What's your favorite t-shirt slogan?

I Listen to Bands that Don't Even Exist Yet. See it here. Sadly enough I don't yet own this, but it is my favorite because it just completely pokes fun at indie music and myself. I actually used for a title for a paper I wrote last year.

3. Congratulations, you have performed some crazypants miracle (the details don't matter) and have earned yourself your own religion! What is it called?

Fandom. But no seriously, I am an atheist. I read a really clever quote about organized religion forever ago, but can no longer find it. This make me sad. In reality any religion I earned purpose would be used by me to accomplish certain social, political, and community objectives.

4. What's your ringtone?

My phone is always on vibrate.

5. If you could live as someone else for a day, who would you pick?

This is the most difficult question for me to answer. Assuming that I would want to be the other person for the experience of it and that the effects of the day would have no consequences... well a million options come to mind. I think it would largely depend on my mood. I mean a really large part of me wants to do something suitability challenging and another part says, but wait you should do something completely filthily hedonistic.

I like what Pete has to say in this clip and how he says it:


In other news, everyone else has drama, but I am feeling content for the day so, :P.

(Also I friended people in the bandom friending meme. HI new friends. I should really do an info post soonish.)

In this instant everything is amazing. I am floating off of a rush from last night. We seriously just won, what. KU lead the whole game and now we are going to the championship, but most importantly we beat UNC! Last night was amazing, some friends and I drove down to be able to walk down Mass Street to see the crazy pseudo-riot type chaos that was going on. Then we came back to the dorm and a little while later a guy walked through the front door with a open bottle of patron. It was hilarious. Especially when we went up to his floor, were several people where sitting in the lobby and then he demanded certain ones of them take shots. It was great.

In other news this week, I pulled at least two all-nighters playing spades, was really ill all last weekend and the beginning of the week, and am so behind on fandom it is rediculous. How do people keep up?

You know what makes me squee?

Panic at the motherfucking Disco.

Discuss.

OMG it was like this meme was tailored perfectly to me:

1. Comment with any subject that you would like me to rant on, with possible swearing involved. Any subject - I don't even have to agree with it.

2. Watch my journal for your rant.

3. Post this in your own journal, so that you may rant for others. The end.

..and I not even going to qualify it. I will rant about most anything!

Also, ainsley asked what TV shows that are airing in 2008 that people are planning to watch and ( I am still ridiculously in love with TV, apparently )

Dear Bandom,

Either quit fucking around with sex pollen fic or do it right. Pls see sga and spn. It is making me sad.

Wishing you the best,
bluevsgrey

Dear schoolwork,

Fuck off and die.

No love,
bluevsgrey

Dear MGMT,

How are you so awesome?

Funtimes,
bluevsgrey

Dear JD and Smirnoff,

HI! Guess what I am doing tonight?

TTYL,
bluevsgrey

It motherfucking Friday y'all. Let me list the ways in which this is awesome:

1. I had thirty minutes of class today because we has a quiz that was ridiculously easy.

2. Last night I drank jack and did homework for, like, three hours. Productive!

3. Later I came up to the lobby and people were face painting. My friend spent an hour giving me this wicked blue abstract tribal-like half face mask with a silver moon in the middle. It is wicked, and no I haven't washed it off yet.

4. I am drinking more Jack tonight. \o/

5. Bandom. OMG, I thought I got away from this one when I went through a brief period of reading it this spring. But, no, I have been reading and loving it recently. I don't really read any kind of fic, anymore.

That about covers it. Tell me things that have made your day awesome.

I have no idea what I did to deserve such a thing but slodwick made two very wonderful pieces of artwork for me. I feel nothing but pure glee right now. Go here to see them and tell slod how she is made of awesome.

(Now I really want a cigarette.)

I forgot about the SGA premier on friday. *cries*

I tend to end up stumbling upon music videos, as one will, via youtube or whatnot. One thing that I am noticing is that some songs I really like end up having (fictional) animal harm. Like, wtf? Why would you even put that into your video. I mean, their are plenty of great videos(See: 1 2 3 4 by Feist and D.A.N.C.E. by Justice) and even more sameoldthing videos. I can understand the need for change or even something new. Still, I would like to express my displeasure for the animal harm element in the videos, even if the animals aren't real, because it really destroys my enjoyment of the song. It is not even that I particularly have a problem with (fictitious) animal harm. I think that Happy Tree Friends is hilarious, as a matter of fact. But when the song has absolutely no reason to connect to that? I mean, come on.

Therefore I present to you, Two Songs you should download and enjoy but never, ever watch the video for:
Acceptable in the 80's by Calvin Harris
Collarbones by Fujiya & Miyagi

Tuesday was a rather shitty day. However, I have hope for today. Anyway, instead of me bitching I bring you recs:

The Devil Really Does Wear Prada by balefully whose birthday is today. It a fabulous mash up between Supernatural and The Devil Wears Prada wear Sam is adorably effeminate. Mid-story it sets up the Sam/Dean superbly. It is so very self-indulgent and that is why I love it.

Tabled by runpunkrun might possibly be my favorite example of an outside pov ever. It is just so perfectly creates a detached holier than thou attitude while Mckay and Sheppard have sex. I am amused and amazed.

I think I might actually go to bed now, which is really weird considering I haven't been to sleep before quarter to four these last past few weeks. I am clearly old now.

I got all my unread feeds in GReader down to 789. Take that bitches!

(When I started it was close to 1900. Plus I read all of my flist which was at ?skip=220 for the night.Yes, for the night. I think I had read everything on my flist as of 2 or 3 pm.)

Imma pass out now.

I read a whole book today. With fan fiction, and my overwhelming desire and joy I get out of reading it, I hardly ever do that anymore. However, my best friend is an avid book reader which lead to two things happening recently: (1) After we had seen a recent moving she wanted to go shopping at a bookstore to which I had a gift certificate, and (2) her recent comments on my lack of "culture". So the trip to the bookstore had me picking up a book that might not have been the absolute best line of fit and her comment made me want to expand my horizons and read something new. Now, I will not say that I wish I hadn't read this book, because it is absolutely not the case, but maybe I wish I hadn't read it today. I had a few ideas fermenting in the back of my brain about how today would go. It involved me being productive and doing things that I have been putting off until I was rested and had a day off. Well, I guess it is to late to dwell on what didn't get done; I just have to keep moving forward and hope it will get done tomorrow. I might be a little concerned of what it did prompt. This book carried my focus throughout the whole day and will not let go of my brain. Right now? Introspective me is something I have been avoiding. I find myself unable to describe it, the way that like in a really boring science film the cells grow and multiple in neon colors, is almost the way that the thoughts keep fusing with my everyday ones to make it very serious. I tried very hard to keep things light and unobtrusive, just to be happy. A book all about death and so eloquently thought-provoking as this one, well I don't know whether to swoon or be horribly angry. I guess the status-quo won't do for today. I almost hate to go to bed like this, even if it is probably the most mentally stimulated I have been in years and I now feel like it wouldn't be chore to fall asleep, another mundane part of the routine.

Hmm, I have a feeling I will look back on this, this morning, next month, next year, and it will show some of the character traits that I dislike. All without any sense of self-deprecating humor, what a shame.
