Positive things

I decided that since I've been depressed that the best thing to do is to look at the good things I have. The good outweighs the bad, really.

Good things:
- My family - while they drive me crazy, most days, I know that when I need them there are there with all the love and support they can offer. My Godfather, my dad's youngest brother, just called me today because he was thinking about me and wanted to talk to me. One of my dad's sisters was in the Disney store when it was going out of business and saw some Nightmare Before Christmas stuff and knew I loved it, so she bought it and sent it to me, just because. My dad and mom have done everything they can to make me feel better, to my dad trying to make me laugh because he doesn't like to see me upset. Landon offers hugs and kisses at random times and has come up to me recently and patted me and said "Ashey no cry, ok?"
- My friends - specifically Michelle - is a never ending ream of support. I have to say that while she does get on my nerves occasionally, she's as close to a sister as I will ever have. Thing is, we're both two people who don't let the other wallow and feel sorry for themselves. We kick one another in the ass when we need it, we listen, and we're capable of making the other laugh when no one else can. She is driving four hours the weekend of my birthday just to hang out with me.
- My computer - it's pretty awesome. I bought it as a whole set from Sam's a few years ago. It's a Dell, which is all I will ever own now, and it's fabulous! It has enough room for me to play WoW and keep both Sims 2 and 3.
- World of Warcraft - you have no idea how cathartic it is to go kill some stuff when you're feeling upset.
- Craig Ferguson - I DVR this show because he makes me laugh. I think he's the best late night has to offer. I really like that he rarely ever talks to the people about what they're there to plug. Some of my favorite recent guests: Tom Felton, Robert Downy Jr., Tim Allen, Gerard Butler, and Emma Thompson. I also love his little cussing rabbit, Sid.
- That 70's Show and Big Bang Theory - I love these two shows. I've seen some episodes of That 70's Show so many times I can recite the words. Big Bang Theory, I love this show the more I watch it.
- The soundtracks of Glee - Truly has helped me get through today. "Don't Stop Believing", "Dream On", "Smile", and "Alone" can always bring a smile to my face, and goosebumps to my arms.
- And last but not least, you guys - There is a core group of you that offer never ending support. As long as I've had this journal, I know that I can come here and tell you guys things that I would never tell my real life people and you would never judge me of it. Some of you post things that make me laugh, think, and sometimes go "PLEASE PUT NAKED PEOPLE BEHIND A CUT" but it's almost always entertaining. My last post I cried while I wrote it, but after the love and support you guys sent my way, it really did make me feel better. You're the best online friends that a person could ever have.

So, really, thank you so much guys. Just keep being you.

Dear members of the Draco/Hermione fandom,

Please stop using Boyd Hollbrook as Draco Malfoy. Not only is it annoying, but it's insulting to Tom Felton who has played the character of Draco since he was 11 years old. What really pisses me off is when you use all the other actors in the movie, and then you change Draco to Boyd. Are you fucked in the head? I don't understand women who like these little thin waffish boys. Not saying Tom Felton is big or anything, but he doesn't look like a walking coat hanger, either. With his blond hair, especially between HBP and Deathly Hallows, when it was kind of long and stuff, Tom Felton looked like the epitome of Draco Malfoy. He's had some bad wigs, yes, but when it's his own hair, he couldn't look more the part.

So, just to clear it up...KNOCK IT OFF! I'm sick of seeing banners using that ugly guy's image as Draco. If I see a banner with his face on it, I PURPOSELY won't read the fic because you ruin the image of Draco.

To sum up, cut it out and grow up. Tom Felton is Draco Malfoy. Suck it up and deal with it.

Sincerely, and pissed the fuck off,
Ashley

Lack of posts has to do with obsession with WoW! For the last two days, I have been running my 80 DK Blood Elf through Stratholme trying to beef up my rep with the Argent Dawn. It's been a pain in the ass. In the actual instance, you only get 10 rep points for killing random things in the trash mobs. You can get the scourge stones, sure, but it takes freaking forever to accumulate enough to where it really starts to help you. I've been lost in this the last few days. I ran Strat I don't know how many times.

But now I'm exalted with Argent Dawn and Argent Crusade. Now I just need Ashen Verdict. I've also been working my way through the Argent Tournament Grounds becoming champions with all the Horde cities. I have them all except Sen'jin, but I think after the marathon of playing the last few days, I might take tomorrow off and not play until Monday night when I have Arena.

Oh yeah, I'm on 2 v 2, 3 v 3, and 5 v 5 arena teams. We suck sooooo bad. However, we did win a 5 v 5 because all the opposing people left. That sucks, but hey, we got the achievement for it. No Arena points however. I get my arena points from BGs and I use them to buy arena gear.

I'm sure this is boring a lot of you, but I wanted to be happy here and have someone...maybe [livejournal.com profile] bambue345, [livejournal.com profile] sayyidajaida, or [livejournal.com profile] adamolupin be happy and celebrate with me. However, they all run alliance so...they're like mortal enemies of mine.

In other news...Brittni's shower in B'Ham was today, and oh my god you guys, we drove 2 hours through a fucking monsoon! It was raining so hard at times, you couldn't see the car in front of you. It doesn't help that my mom drives for shit and was in two lanes at certain points...ON THE FREEWAY!...and that she was driving up this person's ass and not looking. When we made it to my cousin's house, alive, I was so relieved I had to run to the bathroom.

Nicole did a fantastic job! Cute little finger foods and punch. Unfortunately, because of the hellacious rain we drove through, that kept some people away. All of my dad's sisters were there, and my mom's sister was there, and a few of my dad's first cousins showed up, but total, there were like 15 people there when it should have been like 75. It was flipping crazy.

Brittni and Adam got some really great stuff. They got new bedding, a fry daddy (which Adam was thrilled about), a lot of towels, some nice votive candles and things. A really great haul.

When we left Nicole's house, it sunny and beautiful with bright pink skies. It figures, doesn't it?

My nephew Landon is now putting whole sentences together. He's not two yet, but he doesn't point at things and grunt, the way a lot of babies apparently do. I found this out because Ashley works at a daycare with Landon's age group and says that some of them only make sounds and things. Landon is talking. He's so freaking cute!

He was sitting on the bed with my dad this morning, having a bottle, and he handed it to my dad and said "Put this over there" talking about on his night stand. My mom and dad looked at him and my dad laughed and took it from him. He's also learning to swim. We got him some water wings and he knows how to hold himself up. He will swim to the deep end, in the swimmers, and climb up the ladder, and jump in. Now, don't get panicked. He can't get the back doors open. We keep them locked and they are almost too heavy for me to open. I worry more about him going out the front door. That one he can open and we keep it bolt locked so he can't get out.

He's too smart for his own good.

I finished my Scorpius/Rose fic yesterday! I really like the way it came out. It's sort of sweet and schmaltzy, but hey, I am what I am.

I also completed Chapter 24 of Beautiful Disaster and it is off at the beta. I think I like it more than I originally thought. I've been getting great reviews for it over at H&V by people who haven't read it. It surprises me sometimes when people haven't read it. Does that make me sound conceited? It's not that, it's just that it's been around since 2004, I guess I assumed that most people in the fandom have at least glimpsed or read the summary. I guess that tells me not to make assumptions.

Tom Felton posted a new picture of himself over on Twitter.

Also, found this gem over on youtube...it's Tom's cameo from Get Him To The Greek

That's all from me for today. Night everyone!

Did anyone see on Twitter today and the other day where FeltonFootloose was trending? Apparently, there is a movement of fans trying to get Tom Felton an audition for the new Footloose movie... and the director replied "Felton fans, I hear you."

Not saying that it's a bad idea, as I'm sure Footloose will end up being huge like Hairspray, but can anyone see Tom playing Ren?

And I just watched Tom accept his award again, and I realized that it wasn't Will Farrel saying stuff during his speech, he did at the beginning, but it was Mark Wahlberg that kept saying stuff!

I don't think Tom minded though. He was a really good sport about it! It had to be hard to even say what you wanted to say with Will Farrel and Mark Wahlberg hanging over his head.

Also, I want Taylor Lautner to beat the crap out of Rob Pattinson!! And why do they keep acting like people don't know who Bella chooses?! I mean, people have read the books! HP doesn't act like people haven't read those books! in fact, they realize that people have!

I...I...I can't...form...words....



He posted this on his twitter. To those who like to use Boyd Hollbrook as their 'vision' of Draco, I have this question for you: ARE YOU ON CRACK!?!?! LOOK AT THAT!! THAT IS DRACO!!! DRACO DRACO DRACO!!! TOM FELTON IS DRACO MALFOY! And if you disagree, then I think you need to get your eyes checked!!!
