So, I took my nephew orionrezil to the symphony tonight. OMG! Best one yet!!!! :D

The theme was Heroes, Villains, and Witches. I knew there was going to be a medley of Star Wars music, but when we got there and got the programs I found out they were also doing the Superman theme!!!! I squeed so much and when they played it... I had chills and even teared up a bit! *grins* I closed my eyes a few times and I could so easily see clips from the movie playing. :D And the Star Wars medley!!!! OH EM GEE!!!!! *dies* Nothing compares to hearing the Star Wars theme performed by a live orchestra! I could pick out Vader's and Leia's themes and the medal ceremony at the end of A New Hope. EEeeeee!!!!! CHILLS! And grinning from ear to ear! Simply incredible. Now I really REALLY wish I could see the Star Wars concert on tour.

They also did the William Tell Overture, The Sorcerer's Apprentice (which Ori didn't like one bit *evil grins*), The Ride of the Valkyries (I just kept seeing Bugs Bunny as a Viking woman lol), New York, New York, music from Rocky and a few others.

Now, I can't wait till February. They're doing romantic music from movies. :D

Tiny pics taking over my brain!

A few months ago, when the 5000 userpics were super cheap, I finally broke down and bought them. I just finally got around to actually uploading some pics to fill up all those lonely spaces.

I just uploaded 186 pics and now have 536! I still probably have around a hundred or more so to upload! Eeep!

Now, it's going to take me forever to choose a pic for comments/posting!

Because my big sis, qafmaniac, did it and I'm a lemming. *dives off cliff*

Leave a ONE WORD comment that you think describes me. It can only be one word. No more. Then copy & paste this into your journal so that I may leave a word about you.

This is just amazing to watch! I have a hard enough time just jumping rope on my own. What these girls do... just WOW!!!

Watch this in full screen to see it best.

happier_bunny wants to know if we love B/J. *tsk* Such a silly question.

Need proof?



( Need more proof? )

FIRST: If you've been tagged, you must write your answers in your own IJ and replace any question that you dislike with a new, original question.

SECOND: Tag eight sexy people.

brianslave68, dancing_serpent, fansee, my2cats, outlander, pfodge, plasticine_star, bottoms_of_love (Oh yes... I did do that! Mwahahahaha!!!)

( It's all about me )

Every time I went to the movies with my nephew, orionrezil this summer, we always made comments about the posters for "The Proposal" and "The Ugly Truth". They hung on opposite sides of the wall in the theater. Ori has been promising me for a few months now that he was going to make me a special manip using the two posters.

HE FINALLY DID!!!!! :D OMG! My nephew is awesome! *giggles*

You Are Lafayette

You are sassy, outspoken, and outrageous. You do what you feel like, not what you're told. You are a bit of a schemer and a dreamer. You're always up to something, and it's often no good! You can be a bit shady at times, but you're so charming that you get away with it. Usually. You're not afraid of drama, and some may even claim you invite it in. No doubt about it, you live on the edge.

I don't really think that describes me, but I adore Lafayette so I'm not complaining. *grins*

(Icon has absolutely nothing to do with this, but I just don't use it often enough hehe)

Since my lovely, favorite big sister EVER tagged me for this (which I knew she would lol), I am posting my reasons ASAP.

As I'm usually one of the late people to do memes, most of the good reasons were already taken. So I thought long and hard, sometimes deep into the night on the whole drive home from work and hopefully came up with some not mentioned before.

1. Ethan is a hypocrite! He criticized Brian for his lifestyle, but as soon as he's caught cheating, he uses that as his excuse. The first chance he got, he lied to Justin.

2. He's less romantic than Brian. No matter how many flowers, rings, picnics, songs or "I love you"s he gave Justin, they meant nothing compared to his actions.

3. He's not strong enough to be himself (and let Justin be himself) and is too easily influenced by others. Even Brian, his competition, was able to sway him with "There's nothing noble about being poor".

4. It's been said before but... Ethan is NOT Brian!!!

Not tagging anyone because I think everyone else did it. lol

I'll be honest, I never had any interest in GI Joe when I was growing up. Never had any action figures or watched the cartoon.

The only reason I wanted to see the movie was... Christopher Eccleston!

And OMG!!! He played a deliciously awesome bad guy! I was afraid he wouldn't have much screen time, but he was in it quite a bit. And the suit! GUH! He's not a typically handsome guy, but there's just something about him that the more things I see him in, the more attractive I find him.

For the movie itself... it was pretty decent. I liked it a lot and enjoyed watching it. The action was pretty cool and there was a surprise or two.

But between Christopher wearing a full suit, including waistcoat and Ianto Jones and his suits and waistcoats... I'm developing some interesting fetishes. *grins*

The goddess of layouts strikes again!

qafmaniac made me a gorgeous new header and gave me a gorgeous layout including some pretty pretty animations by the wonderful pfodge and kari77. And yummy Torchwood animations by cowboyhd over at livejournal. What more can I ask for but to stare and drool at 4 of my favorite men. ;) I may never be able to get any work done again. ;)

Come see...

Major Lennox (Josh Duhamel) was just totally awesome! :D

I don't care what the 'movie critics' say, this was just as awesome as the first.

And... went shopping after... got the original cartoon season 1 on DVD!

*bounces away happily*

The Pittsburgh Penguins won the Stanley Cup!!!!

*dances in the streets*

And I may get to see the Cup again. :D More importantly... I may get to see Dana Heinze, the Pens Equipment Manager. hehe Yeah, I know... not many people get excited about the bench staff, but Dana's from my home town. :D SQUEEEE!!!! :D

I guess it's true. lol

I finally got to see Star Trek tonight!!!

OMG!!! Totally worth the wait. I think this was probably the best newer Star Trek movie. I loved 4 & 6 of the originals, but the Next Gen movies just never kept my interest much. :P And Nemesis was the EVILEST movie of all!! :P But the new Star Trek... Oh, so very very awesome!!! And Zachary Quinto didn't scare me as much as I expected. lol Though, I've never heard "Live long and prosper" said quite so menacingly as he did a few times. lol

I really have absolutely no complaints about any of the actors picked either. Though, I just adored Chekov! hehe He was just too adorable! :D

If there was one downside to a remake from the beginning, it's the loss of the campiness and bad effects/costumes that make the original Star Trek so lovable. lol But I can definitely accept this new version. :)

When you wait almost 20 years to see someone in concert, it's almost surreal when it actually happens. The only downside was that I couldn't take any pictures during the concert. :( I took a few with my phone but have to fix them up before sharing.

And Queensryche did not let me down!!! OMG!!! The absolute BEST concert I've been too!!! Geoff Tate still looks AMAZING!!! He had on black dress pants, a black sleeveless shirt, and vest. His arms are still GUHHH!!! And I can't even tell you how happy I am that he has his long hair back! *grins* And to see him sing live and his facial expressions as he's singing, he really gets into the songs. It's so much better hearing the songs live than on any recorded media. To feel the bass and hear the audience sing along! Just amazing!

The whole concert was a little over 2 hours. They opened with songs from Rage For Order: Neue Regel, Screaming in Digital, I Dream in Infrared, Surgical Strike, and a few others.

Then they went into American Soldier: Sliver, The Killer, A Dead Man's Words, and a few others.

Finally... the ended with Empire... and Just... GUHHH!!!! The crowd really went wild when Best I Can started. It was really incredible. They sang almost the whole album! :D The Thin Line (I went crazy when he sang "Skin tight leather provides my pleasure" hehe), Jet City Woman, Silent Lucidity (I can't even express how incredible it is to hear this live and hear EVERYONE there singing along, it was magical), Hand on Heart, One and Only, Anybody Listening?

They came back out for an encore with Empire and Take Hold of the Flame (from Warning released in 1984 and it still sounded the same).

My favorite song all night was easily from American Soldier - Home Again. It's a duet with Geoff's daughter Emily (I think she's around 11). The band was all dressed in black, she came out in a hot pink dress. It is such a sweet song and it really brought tears to my eyes. During one of the instrumental breaks, Geoff spun Emily around the stage a few times. It was really so adorable!! Geoff also brought out his wife, Susan, to recognize her for Mother's Day. At the end, the band and Emily came out to take a bow. Before they went off-stage again, Emily jumped into Geoff's arms. To see something like that from a hard rock band... it really just makes me love them all the more. :D

I need to go to work tomorrow, but I'm too hyped right now to even try going to sleep! lol I just hope I don't need to talk much because I'm hoarse! *grins*

I wanted to share some pictures of the flower basket my boss got me for my anniversary. He gets me flowers every year for Secretary's Day, but this may be the prettiest yet. :)
