fannish stuff PLUS real life interlude!

[schmerica]

i. So, Invader Zim. Gerard is Dib and Mikey is Gaz, but I can't decide whether Pete is more Zim or GIR. THIS LACK OF EASY CASTING DISTURBS ME.

ii. Everytime I see the word Stumptown it makes me go "...Patrick?" Since I live in the suburbs of Portland, you can see how this might be a problem.

iii. Why is Gabe singing in Spanish at the beginning of "Smile for the Paparazzi" so fucking hot, you guys? Ugh.

iiiB. Hey, do any of you know if Ray Toro actually speaks Spanish? I had assumed he had heritage knowledge, but my Google-fu has led me to now think he doesn't, or at least not very well? There's this, but that seems memorized rather than fluent.

iv. ONE MONTH UNTIL I'M BACK AT SCHOOL. I left Eugene during my breakdown in mid-May; it's been almost seven months. Next week is my birthday. In three weeks it's a whole new year, new semester, new chance. Maybe I'll actually finally graduate in June.

(Classes I am taking this term: linguistics seminar on Proto-Indo-European; linguistics seminar on neurolinguistics; low level general biology evolution class for my gen ed requirements. Two of these I am super excited about!)

The only part that sucks about this is the complete lack of central/southern Oregon fangirls. *LONELY FACE*

v. I feel as if these two pictures have a theme going on, but I'm not sure quite what it is.

vi. Mikeyway!

"No, Mikey - it's M-I-K-E-Y"

[impertinence.livejournal.com]

The theme is that Mikey always forgets how to spell his own name. That's why they got him the "Mikey" hoodie. Poor Mikeyway.

Man, in that case, you think they would have printed the letters upside down, wouldn't you? So he can see it looking down!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

WAY is only three letters! It's not that hard!

[soundslikej.livejournal.com]

...well there was that one time, where they were doing a signing in front of a mirror, and he signed everything YEKIM...

[soundslikej.livejournal.com]

Ynnrgh. Yes please, I'd like to have Gabe speaking Spanish at me all the time.

What? Languages are sexy!

Also, MIKEYWAY ILU.

I would say Pete as the Zim to Brendon's GIR. Also I have no actual idea but I would bet on Toro knowing more words and phrases than your average non-Hispanic American, but not really being fluent.

!WAY MIKEY knows what he's doing, man. He has a PLAN.

I'm just finishing up a linguistics seminar on DPs... and oh god, the amount of snickering I do behind my hand every single week. Because I am clearly a 15 year old boy who just discovered porn, or something.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Languages ARE sexy! Especially Gabe with Spanish, for some reason. Mmmmmm.

[girlneedsagun.livejournal.com]

ahahahahahAHAHAH Oh Mikeyway, what? ♥

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I like your casting! Brendon would make a pretty cute GIR. And I think your Ray speculation makes sense as well.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

In the spring I'm taking phonology and functional syntax, which are both major requirements, but I've already taken all the regular courses offered in winter, so it's time for random fun shit, woo! There was a really interesting one on auxiliary verb constructions last year.

A PLAN. I'M SERIOUS.

[photo-confused.livejournal.com]

Brendon is so GIR..although pete would be more likely to dress up in a dog suit.

[thesamefire.livejournal.com]

i'm taking phonology next term and i'm pretty terrified. it just doesn't make any sense to me!

[impertinence.livejournal.com]

I love that picture so much. ♥!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

There is this one episode where Zim is dressed up in a fuzzy bear suit covered with random stains, and it is never addressed or explained.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Oh, see, phonology is my favorite! The stupid easy phonology problems in 101 were what really got me into linguistics; it's the same stupid thrill I get from crossword puzzles and logic problems.

[photo-confused.livejournal.com]

oh man i totally forgot about that! Yup, pete is now offically Zim.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

HELL YEAH you do.

(I am just picspamming now. In my own comments. God, I'm lame.)

[thesamefire.livejournal.com]

see, i am ALL ABOUT THE SYNTAX. also, all of the phonology problems in ling 100 when i took it were STUPID HARD. rule ordering makes my eyes bleed. i agree on the thrill-inducing activities, though! i had a prof who often compared doing morphology problems to doing a sudoku.

ahahaha YES. Geeky glee is where it's at, man.

[scizojess.livejournal.com]

You live in the suburbs of Portland? I live in Vancouver!

Gabe speaking Spanish=Hot like burning. Seriously. That boy.

[thesamefire.livejournal.com]

and linguists are pretty much the biggest geeks of all. one of my classmates, her fiance is a mathematician, and he is actually embarrassed by how geeky we all are. LOVES IT!
