Post--No One Cares About The Challenge

A.K.A. I'm stopping it because I FEEL like it.

Feelings are funny little things. They just come and go and what are you supposed to do with them. You can't inspect them and stick them in jars to look at later when you have time. Nope! You have to deal with them right now and right then. If, not well...you do it later. I am aware that is contradictory but nothing is perfect; not even me. Yes; I admit that I am not a perfect person and will never be a perfect person. In fact all I can do is sit down and compare my un-perfectness with others and then find people who have the same un-perfectness as me and then...well...it goes from there. Use your imagination; you have one in case you forgot. There is someone inside of you waiting to burst out in a towel cape and running around rescuing fake animals from high limbs.

I'm trying to live my life in the now; instead of waiting for a time when everything is good. Everything won't be good; everything is just going to suck. There are wonderful things in life that don't suck; and I plan to dwell on those. :) It sucks though when things come knocking at your door and then everything starts to go awry. In those situations; you want to hide under the bed, shut out the lights and act like no one is home. Though yet I have to experience those situations, because if I don't. I'm simply not living. I'm just being, and I don't want to just be. I want to live and do. I'm getting to philosophical...BUNNIES! Hope that helps....possibly?

I plan to revive this blog. It's not dead just resting for a while. Naps are good. I'm still going to have my nerdy lists and odd stuff. Maybe I should re-name it to Nerdy Lists and Odd Stuff by a Weird Chick? Too many descriptors, it'll mess with some people's heads.

List time! (insert dramatic music suitable for lists here)

Benefits of being a nerd:

1. Most of your conversations involve ideas, and not people. Ideas of space-cats, books, lists instead of talks about Justin Barf-ber.
2. You can do nerdy things! Who doesn't want to sit and organize things, google image search pictures of stuff, or have ThinkGeek bookmarked?
3. You have nerdy friends who enjoy doing nerd things with you.
4. Nerds are awesome.
5. There are more nerds than any other kind of people; we just shelter ourselves and go out in the dead of night so no real people can see us.

#13- What medium would your life best be shown as? A movie? A television series? A cartoon? What genre would a movie about your life fall under? Comedy? Romance?

The question also pulls a few underlying personality qualities out; you can be the judge and determine. You could pull the narcissism card on all of them; but I'm not going to my blog is narcissitic free.

I think I would choose a made for television mini series. I don't want my life broadcasted in screens around the country and having the box office numbers show up on Entertainment Tonight! as some money making endeavor. I think a private viewing would also somewhat cover my introvertness qualities; and how in front of big audience I take on a strange not me personality.

Also all of the boring parts would be blocked out or thrown into a creative montage with a catchy song.

Things that would be in my "catchy" montage:

1. Reading
2. Dancing to music no one else hears
3. Unplanned naps (which happens more than once)
4. Staring at my laptop wishing it would be more awesome
5. My conversations with me, myself and I
6. Freak outs...both major and minor
7. Goob moments...I could make a movie on those alone

A romance? My life a romance? Hold on a second.. AAHHAHHAHHAHA(hic) HHAHHAHHAHHAHHHHAHHAHH(hic)AHAHHAHAHHAHAHH

My superbly single life laughs at you.

Yes; when I laugh I sound like I have the hiccups because I need to breathe and well it doesn't sound pleasant. It makes people laugh which in turn makes me laugh harder and it progresses to the silent laugh.

So I think a comedy; because I would like to believe I have a sense of humor. No drama please, I'm past high school.

ZMA-Dracula

I don't have a webcam attached to this ancient computer; and if I did it wouldn't function properly or cause issues every time I used it. Soo..I will be taking the cheap way out and typing out about how I feel about books. You won't be able to see my gorgeous face; but you can imagine it and my sultry voice telling you about how I feel. Don't forget about my awkward hand gestures. Signature Kim.

I didn't think that I would like Dracula when I first picked it up. I was semi-intimidated by the sheer size of the book; only because I don't read adult books. I struggled to keep up with the page count as usual. I started on-time but finished in late August. I thought that all the characters were pretty interesting. When I read I visualize characters and thought you would be interested in figuring out who I thought fit with each character.

In my mind; every character had a moustache. EVERYONE!! Some had the handlebars, Hitlerstache, fluffy style or what-not.

1. Harker-Jude Law...moustache
2. Dracula as an Old Guy- don't know..am open for suggestions....'stache
3. Dracula  as a Young Dude- Snape-like....'stache
4. Arthur- Colin Firth...'stache
5. Quincy-He always wore chaps, cowboy hat and spoke with a Southern accent and looked like Gus from Psych..except more burly and dirty...'stache
6. Dr. Seward- a mix of Robert Downey Jr and Harry Connick Jr.....'stache
7. Van Helsing-Einstein....'stache
8. Lucy- FRICKIN' ANNOYING...'stache
9. Mina-not sure...suggestions...'stache
10. Renfield- that crazy guy Steve Buscemi who appears in everything...but no one know who he is...'stache

Lucy took forever to die; like 300 pages to many. She died and then they had to kill her; and that took another 200 pages. She was one of those people that if I met in real life I think I would personally stab myself because she was so annoying. I could have done it in a sentence. How many transfusions did they do? 4 too many! Of course like typical books, there are parts that dragged on and there were really good parts. When they were on the boat to go and catch Dracula in some unpronounceable place; that took me forever to read! I also saw it fitting that their HQ was in a mental institution. It kind of suited how crazy they were.

I'm sorry that I am skipping around I should have written this months ago.

Kim's Character Analysis Time!!..(or rants).

1. Harker-
1. I liked him; but I thought he was a wimp with guts. He was kind of sappy though when he was away. Oh, dear how I miss Mina, Oh, I want to see my Mina, Mina is ill, woe is me.
2. Dracula
1. He didn't appear very much and there were lots of unsaid things about him that made me scratch my head and say ,"Ok then!" and just kept reading. (why did it NOT take forever for him to die?) He also must have been a rich s. (n.) o.b.
3. Arthur
1. It confused me that his name changed in the book. When it changed it briefly mentioned it and when the name appeared I was like who is Godalming. Pansy. Don't kill Lucy, don't chop off her head, I have already suffered enough. Thought he was going to burst into tears quite a bit.
4. Quincy
1. B.A. Manly=Meaning he had a bachelor's of arts degree in manly...or you can use your imagination. He was just good; liked him a lot. It was sad that the manly man had to die. He was also the character that talked slow, owned a horse, wore chaps, and needed a shower.
5. Dr. Seward
1. Mousy doctor guy. Thought he complained a bit to much. It was nice of him to offer up his house as HQ though.
6. Van Helsing
1. HE IS SUCH A "P"!! Oh by the way..I need to do this. I'm not going to tell you why.
7. Renfield
1. Crazy as....yep. No duh, right? Drove me crazy; didn't really like him. He needed to go sooner than he did.
8. Mina
1. Seemed-in-the-way for some of it. I liked her way better than the other female character.
9. Lucy
1. The so-many-men-are-attracted-to-me-and-I-don't-know-what-to-do character. She needed to be gone; I would totally not be friends with her. She wasn't very smart; when she was "alive".

Overall, I thought it was good. I was suprised that I enjoyed it; even though the above statements seemed otherwise.

Better late than never..I suppose..or not..

#12- What animals frighten you and why?

This is going to be an interesting insight into how my brain works. I apologize in advance to you readers. You can stop reading at any time; I won't be offended. I am not a fan of animals. I can deal with them; but the zoo is the last place on Earth I would rather be. Animals aren't just my thing.

We went to an aquariaum for my summer job and needless to say I had the "fingers down the chalkboard" feeling the entire time. I can't stand animals underwater. Fish, starfish, especially octopus. Some of the creatures don't look right. Watching shows like Deadliest Catch or Hillbilly Handfishing make my skin crawl and I freak out; but for some reason when they are on I can't stop watching them. Go figure that out! I can't stop watching things that gross me out.

Why they freak me out (I think):

1. Slimy. Similar to human hair grease. Go take a shower...oh wait you can't shower if you live in the water. Duh!
2. Google octopus. Image search it. It's gross. Eight squirmy suction cup legs are just moving around freely. They are just a head and legs. HEAD AND LEGS. If people were walking around with just head and 8 legs you would totally notice and point them out.
3. Fake Aliens. A good portion of everything underwater looks like it could have come from another planet. Uranus; possibly?
4. Eyes. They have creepy eyes. Google octupus eye. DO IT! Gross. Vomit. Blech. Some of you may think it's cool. You would be wrong; you just don't know it yet.
5. "Cute" fish will grow to become disgusting.
6. Tails. Fins. Tongues. Fish tongues are gross. Google it.
7. Fish have teeth that are similar to the ones that reside in my own mouth. NOT NATURAL. Some of them are sharper and some of them have rows of teeth. ROWS! They don't own a toothbrush and are as OCD as me about toothbrushing.
8. Google gross fish.
9. I don't even eat seafood.

I am done with a rant.

*Disclaimer*
-This is not only the opinion of the blogger but true fact. I am sorry you don't believe me. Fish are gross.-

#11-Describe what you hear when you hear nothing.

When you hear nothing, do you actually hear something? What is it you hear if it is nothing? Can you hear nothing? What does it mean to hear nothing? And honestly, can one ever not hear anything?

Asking if I have ever heard nothing is asking me whether the grass is green or not. I don't think I have the ability to hear nothing. I think you can be in silence, but there is always something to hear. Currently I am silent, but I can hear the keys of my keyboard on my annoying laptop clicking. I even think that covering my ears I hear things; just in a muted tone though.

*Begin Rant*
Dear Blog Challenge List,
      Pointless questions such as these make me desire to quit your dumb task. Hearing nothing; come on! Let's be a bit more creative. I think that we could come up with more. Maybe when I first read your list you sounded cool; but my newly aquired adult brain believes otherwise. Since I don't have the physical capacitiy to shut my ears off, I believe your question and this response should solidify your stupidity and other unamed terms that I am keeping to myself.
                    Much Obliged,
                                 Kim
