(no subject)

I actually had friends come up this weekend to celebrate my birthday a little early. This NEVER happens, mostly because my birthday is too close to a major holiday. Story of my life. So it was a great surprise, even if it was only for one night. We had a great dinner with lots of wine, and then came back home to watch The Neverending Story. LOL DON'T ASK. A+ good times.

I have been listening to "From Now On We Are Enemies" on repeat, and I swear to god, if I don't get my hands on the actual lyrics I will LOSE MY MIND--I'm pretty sure Patrick isn't saying "foals that will never convulse," but you never know! Damn you Patrick Stump and your inability to enunciate.

And I know you all are probably sick of hearing my work out/weight loss updates, but I did an experiment at The Gap, and can now wear a jeans size I don't think I even wore in junior high. \o/

For FNOWAE my friend and I both wrote up what we thought he was saying and then compared them to the actual lyrics and it was pretty interesting.

Congratulations on the weight loss! :) It gives hope to those of us who struggle with our weight all the time.

Right? What the hell is that chorus?? I go back and forth between "foals that will never convulse" and "poems that were never composed".

Aww, well good. I always worry that I come across like I'm bragging or something, but I just like sharing my good news!

I do believe it actually is "a composer but never composed" but I'm not exactly sure.

Yay!!!! I'm so happy you got to spend some time with your friends, that awesome! And look at you, you skinny thing, wearing jeans you could've worn in junior high!! Sounds like you had a nice weekend. :)

I have friends! Who remember my birthday!

I am hardly skinny, but you're sweet. ♥

Hahahaha, I love your icon.

Jeans sizes are srs bzns, I know. Mine is uh... larger than I wish right now. D:

I JUST LEARNED the words to Headfirst Slide. Who knew that was what he was saying? I am SHOCKED. And I need that DVD, damn it.

[identity profile] foxxcub.livejournal.com 2009-11-23 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
But you are already tiny! I am not tiny! I have never been tiny! Not that I'll ever be tiny, lol.

I LOVE HEADFIRST SLIDE. I HAVE HAND MOVEMENTS FOR IT.

[identity profile] harriet-vane.livejournal.com 2009-11-23 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
LOL I am not, I'm just short. Totally different.

I do Patrick's hand movements! They're so cute! he's so excited to sing thirds!!!

[identity profile] foxxcub.livejournal.com 2009-11-23 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Sadly, mine are actual choreographed movements. Because I am a giant nerd.

PS you are invited for our After Thanksgiving Cupcakes and Star Trek fest if you can get to NY on Saturday! ♥

DDDDDDDDDDDD:

I need, like, a tardis or something.

[identity profile] harriet-vane.livejournal.com 2009-11-23 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
A transporter would be thematically appropriate!

THE NEVERENDING STORY!!! That was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid! Atreyu! And the dog dragon thing that is so obviously a huge mechanical puppet! ♥ I totally need to track that down and watch it again...

Happy birthday early! That's awesome that you got to do fun stuff with friends.

[identity profile] foxxcub.livejournal.com 2009-11-23 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
I WATCHED THE SHIT OUT OF THAT MOVIE, FTR. The scary evil dog scared the crap out of me. And I always had to fast forward through the part where Atreyu's horse dies. ;_;

Thank you! It's the downside of having a birthday on Thanksgiving.

Oh my god, I can see that scene in my head so clearly! DDDDDD: SO SAD. You know how at the end when what's-his-face gives the girl a new name and recreates the world? The first time I saw the movie, when they started showing all the creatures and things that had been destroyed that were now back, my first thought was 'BUT WHAT ABOUT ATREYU'S HORSE??"

I have a nephew whose birthday is about three weeks after Christmas and he haaaaaaates it. Apparently that's close enough that he gets lame birthday presents from extended family, because they *just* got him stuff for Christmas and, you know, don't want to spoil the child!

[identity profile] foxxcub.livejournal.com 2009-11-23 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
YES, THIS. How could someone kill a horse in a children's movie? :(

My sister-in-law's birthday is December 26th. She pretty much beats everyone ever for shittiest b-day.

That's awesome about the size thing, hon! Congrats!

Thank you, bb! ♥

Jeans are so mean to me and I am so jealous!

I want that song... But I can't find it anywhere...

[identity profile] foxxcub.livejournal.com 2009-11-23 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
It's the Believer's Never Die album! I think it's an awesome, awesome song they should've included on FAD.

[identity profile] trippypeas.livejournal.com 2009-11-23 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
I do not have it! I spent all my money on Christmas presents and my crappy sad car..

[identity profile] redscarfe.livejournal.com 2009-11-23 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
I absolutely LOVE From Now On We Are Enemies. Current favourite FOB song (for maybe the next two hours, but w/e).

Lyrics! http://icecreamhdaches.livejournal.com/1348835.html#cutid1


I read The Neverending Story as a wee thing and it really felt like a neverending story. I've never seen the movie. Is it any good?

Ack, I missed that post the first time around, thanks for the link!

Congratulations and happy birthday! What an awesome gift to yourself!!!

Thank you, bb! <3333333

Congrats on the jeans, dude! There's nothing like an experimental jean win to make your day.

I too have a birthday that is very close to a national holiday. The oft overshadowed birthday is a pain I know all too well.

Congrats and happy birthday!

And I really really wanted that Believers Never Die CD, but ugh. All my money is spent on ridiculously expensive lunch at school. /o\

And The Neverending Story is <3. Saw the movie once and loved it. Still need to read the book.
