Finish, sum up, conclude.

Wow, so like....

It's 2015.

It just hit me.... last night.... around 12pm.... that it's 2015. What? Why? What the freak happened to that fabulous thing called Time?

Anyway, so, I kind of have a tradition where I do this tag at the end of every year. I just think it's a good way to sum up the last twelve months, and it's nice to have something that I do every year, you know?

So here we go!

     My sisters did. I'm am an aunt x13. (I don't remember their birthdays. I'm a terrible aunt.)

4.) Did anyone close to you die?

I DARE YOU TO ANSWER THREE QUESTIONS.
It's a dare.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it.....

Cheers and God bless, and HAPPY NEW YEAR. *shoves 2014 into the garbage*

All hail American pride!

And yes, that means even the British.

We won that war.

*waves at British*

Hehehe. Okay enough.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light?

Once so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming. 

Who's broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight...

O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming.  

And the rocket's red glare!

The bombs bursting in air! 

Gave proof through the night

that our flag was still there!

Oh, say does that star spangled banner yet wave?

O'er the Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave. 

I'm always proud of being American. I think we're awesome. I mean, yeah, there are going to be those idiots who give America a bad name. *cough certain leader cough.* But in general, America's pretty epic, and I consider myself quite lucky to be one.

But the Fourth always gets me like, "YAY 'MURICA. LAND OF THE FREE. RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS. HOME OF THE BRAVE! RA RA RA. ONE NATION UNDER GOD!

And frankly, anyone who says anything bad about my country on this day of independence is likely to get my independent fist in their subservient nose.

Today was nice. It was the first day off I've had all week, so I'm quite delighted to be home and not... at work.

Anyway, I always wear a combination of the flag's colors, because that's what I DO on the 4th. I also wore the necklace that Mahri made me. ('Cause Mahri made me a really, really awesome Winter Soldier inspired necklace. All you guys are now jealous. Mwuahaha.)

There was lots of food, and talking. We do that. Today, talk was mostly Prison Break. We do talk fandoms.

On a random note, it was my birthday a few days ago. Thanks to my brother I am now the proud owner of a pretty new phone.

LALALALALALALALALALA.

On another note, I have been working all day, every day, all week this week.... Yay, adulting.

This means I've been too tired to draw. Sadness!!

 
..... that's all for tonight.... because I'm tired, it's the Fourth of July, (yay, Murica!) and we're watching Psych.

Cait, watch this after Prison Break.

God bless America!

FIGHT THE FAIRIES!

*Insert Title Here*

I haven't done a random facts post in a while.

Random facts posts are pretty much an update on my life.... but written in a list so that I don't have to do proper paragraph structure, because, let's be honest: that crud's exhausting.

Le Five Random Facts:

Le First Fact: I AM EMPLOYED! This is so big, I made myself into a gif!

Not gonna lie, being a gif is weird. I'm proud of it. 

It's a nice job at the same florist where Amy and Kat work, so it's a nice, gentle ease into the adult world.

My view of the day can be summed up entirely in this gif:

I'm tired though. And I have a headache. And all I want to do is curl up on the couch and watch Prison Break until my eyes fall out, and end up in Sherlock's tea.

Le Second Fact: I sold my first shirt! Lalalalalalala. I'm awesome. Whoever bought it is awesome. Etsy is awesome.

It was dis shirt

Le Third Fact: PRISON BREAK.

I am so addicted! (I'm actually finished with the series. I'm now rewatching it with the rest of the family.) It's so freaking good and intense. Eeeeeeeeeeee. I need to do a proper review about it, because it's definitely a big-kid show, but oh my freaking gosh, I cannot even!

Epic things about it?

*Brother story
*Friendship story
*Character development
*Faith
*Sweetest romance ever
*BROTHER. STORY.

Yeah. Review coming soon.

Le Fourth Fact: We rewatched The Winter Soldier at the dollar theater on Sunday. Heh. I've been going around singing "Are you the Winter Soldier?" to my little sister and driving her crazy. I'm amazing that way.

Le Fifth Fact. My mommy is very nice about the fact that all of her daughters are raging fangirls. She doesn't worry about it, she doesn't judge us, she just looks on amusedly, and doesn't worry about our sanity. We literally spent two hours on Sunday talking about Prison Break, and she didn't even care. SHE IS THE BEST.

That is all. I must go. I was going to post a gif of someone saying goodbye, but I'm too tired, and Prison Break is calling to me. The show calls to me. The show.... calls to me.

PEACE OUT, I'M BATMAN.            

Do you wanna take down Hydra?

So I saw this thing on pinterest:

And I sat there staring at it, thinking, "Bucky? Do you wanna take down Hydraaaa?"

But since Steve technically needs to save Bucky before they can take down Hydra, I figured that those lyrics wouldn't work.

So yesterday, Bella and I brainstormed, and came up with this, to the tune of the Do You Wanna Build a Snowman.

Let me know what you think, yeah????

SPOILERS, if you haven't seen the movie yet.

Bucky...? Are you the Winter Soldier?
Have you been him this whole time?

Now I don't know you anymore. 

You've really changed for sure...

I thought that you had died. 

We used to be best buddies,

and now we're not--

what happened to that guy?
 

Why don't you remember me?

You're name is really Bucky--

Who the hell is Bucky?

--You knew me....

So you're the Winter Soldier?

This really changes things, I know

They've turned you into someone new

what have they done to you?

Can you regain control?

(hang in there, bucky)

I don't want to have to kill you

You're my best friend...

When I had nothing, I had you

(winter soldier, winter soldier)

.......
.................

.... Bucky? Please, I know you're in there

I won't hurt you, you're my friend

 

You have to fight back

I believe in you

there's still good in you,

don't let them win.

I think you're still my best friend.

And I'm with you, pal

'til the end of the line.

  ......

You can beat the Winter Soldier.....

Tadaaaaaaaaaaa.
You like?
PLEASE LET ME KNOW, BECAUSE I'M VERY SELF-CONSCIOUS ABOUT IT.

Anyway...

WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING TO AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.?? I am overcome with feelings and hatred of a certain character who's name and gender shall remain anonymous. But daaaang. S.H.I.E.L.D. started off kind of slow and carefree....

And then all of the sudden....

Plot twists, and betrayals, and Hydra! and! ...And!

*headdesk*

I hate Hydra.

Will you help me take down Hydra?
