You Are High And I Am Not Interested. Good Day.

Desperately searching for a wifi signal, Amanda traverses the shores of Lake Ontario on legs still sore from Coach Ricky's Workout of Doom.  Suddenly, a voice calls out.  She turns.  Behind her stands a young man.  His age looks to be about twenty-one going on twelve. In his right hand he grips a guitar by the neck.  She suspects that he may not actually know how to play it.


He speaks.

"Hey, uh, do you go to the college?"

She speaks.

"No."

He presses on.

"Well, what I really wanted to know is do you like to party?"

She responds.

"No."

Dismayed but too stoned to show it, the young man takes his leave.

"Well, God bless you anyway."

Amanda bids him farewell.

"No."



Boo! You're Old!

According to a study conducted by Clairol (Clairol does studies?) women reach their happiness peak at age 28.


Huh?

"The age of 28 has been pinpointed as the time in a woman's life their hair looks the best, body shape is at its peak and confidence is at an all-time high. The security of your job, having a steady income, being in a relationship and having strong friendships all help create the perfect point in our lives when everything comes together."

Who are these 28-year-olds and what magic fountain have they been drinking from?  Did Clairol conduct this "study" in Romantic Comedy World?  

As of press time, I'm 28 years old.  At the moment I feel happy and satisfied, but that is due to my current circumstances.  I'm doing what I love with people I enjoy.  When I'm employed and have something creative to fill my days I feel happier and more productive, but that is not usually the norm.

In another two months I'll be back in New York where I'm usually just killing time between temp jobs.  I don't have a boyfriend.  I don't see my friends more than once a week (at most.)  I live off of catering scraps.  I have at least 20 grey hairs.  And this is the time when I'm supposed to be at my contentment zenith?  Crap.  I'm in trouble.

What am I supposed to do if my ensuing years are just a continuous downward spiral into unsatisfaction and wrinkles? Hey Clairol!  Did your precious "study" reveal why I shouldn't just slit my wrists right here in this Fajita Grill at this very moment?  How do I keep on feeling easy, breezy, and beautiful or whatever the hell your slogan is while staring into the void?  Tell me how to save me from myself, crack team of Clairol scientists!

"A little time put aside in hectic schedules for self-pampering and the odd beauty product can help keep you feeling young and looking your best."

Of course!  The secret to true happiness lies not in the confidence of knowing yourself or the wisdom of experience.  It's fucking shampoo!  I've been such a fool.  I will amend my life anon.  Thank you, generic study of genericness!

Yay!

I'm tired.  I am so tired.  I am so very tired and so very, very happy.


I'm in upstate New York in rehearsals for the Sterling Renaissance Faire, and...I'm just happy.  Who knew?

When you are an actress and spending most of your time drifting through countless auditions and day-jobs, it becomes easy to forget why you ever decided to act in the first place.  The day-to-day can be pretty suffocating.  Doing crappy shows depresses the crap out of you even more and makes you question not only your goals in life but the very existence of God Him/Her/Itself.

This of course never happened to me.  I heard about it from a friend of mine.

then you get that job that is just...right.  Holy crap, it makes a world of difference!  You laugh more, the world seems better.  Private jokes are formed.  There are birthdays nearly everyweek.  There is also cake.  You miss your cat, but as long as your parents are calling with daily updates about his adorability, you get by.

Unfortunately, you also don't have much access to a wifi signal, so you don't get to blog as much as you'd like.  However, you just take it in stride and enjoy the wonderfulness of having wonderful things happen to you.

Good Morrow Unto Ye All! Would You Like To Purchase Some Meat On A Stick?

Hey, guess what?  I actually have a job for the summer!  Can you believe it?  I'm castable!


I wanted to let you all know now before I get to my housing and discover there's a.) no wifi signal, or b.) a wifi signal that is compatible with every laptop except mine (it has happened before; see: last summer).  If that happens, I'm just letting you know in advance: I'm not dead.

This summer finds me in upstate New York at a Renaissance faire (huzzah!), thus checking off #53 on my list of Things I Must Do For Reasons Inexplicable Even To Myself Before I Die.  I am playing a character known right now only as "Gypsy".  My guess is that she will be sassy.

I'm excited!  I will be spending the next three months engaged in improv-based street shows, wearing corsets, and gorging on ham-flavored turkey legs.  At last, my dreams are becoming reality.

Hopefully, the energy of performing again will spur me on in my other creative endeavors.  I want to write more.  I imagine that an entire summer spent at a Renaissance faire (huzzah!) will inspire at least one "I am not even making this up" story per week.  At least.

If not, then, well, just know that I am happy, healthy, and full of ham-like turkey meat.  

Have a great summer, all you strangers from the future!

X-Men Origin$ (FUCK YEAH!)

To celebrate Memorial Day and remember the sacrifices made by the men and women of our armed forces, my friend Corrie and I did the obvious thing: went to see X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Hey, it's appropriate. As it turns out (according to the opening credits montage) Wolverine served in every United States conflict from the Civil War through 'Nam. True story. He stormed the beaches of Normandy and made Hitler his personal bitch. They only reason we haven't found Osama bin Laden yet is because he knows the minute he steps out of his cave, Wolverine will gut him like a fish. Wolverine is not just a veteran. He is the Ultimate Veteran. We honor America by honoring him. He has single-handedly preserved freedom with his own six claws for years. Oh sure, he may technically be "Canadian", but don't doubt it for a second: Wolverine is American because he is America. Love and fear him as you do God, or get the fuck out.

That said, our Ultimate Hero needs a better movie.  


It's not "technically" bad.  Not really.  It's just...kinda...what is the word I'm looking for?  No, not that one.  What's that word?  The one that's the opposite of "good"?  Oh, so it is "bad?"  Okay, sorry about that. My mistake.  This movie is bad.

I'd go on further but the Ambien's starting to kick in, so here's Yami Marik to take us on home:




Good night, and God bless America.

YouTuesday Did One Bicycle Crunch And PUKED IN HER MOUTH



FUCK YES. For those of you who have never lived in New York, you have no idea how much this video means to me. Not a day goes by where I feel like I haven't been leered at or been the target of a disgusting remark. I have been honked at. I have been rubbed against. I have been subjected to indecencies no woman should ever be subjected to. I think one time a homeless guy masturbated across from me on the subway train. At least I think he did. I didn't want to stare, because I'm a lady.

In short, gentlemen, knock it the fuck off. It makes me so mad I'm actually typing the word "fuck" and I never type "fuck" because, again, I'm a fucking lady.

Fuck!

YouTuesday: It's Any Day You Want It To Be!

First came Transformers. Then came G.I. Joe. Then came Transformers, again. And now the Bayification of our beloved childhood memories continues. May God help us all.



And here's another one! May God help us all some more.

Amanda Tries To Write The Worst FanFic Ever, or The Last Street Fighter-Related Post Until The Next One

He guys, I'm back!  Missed me?  Again?  Some more?

I've been away from the blog lately because I've been having a writerly existential crisis of sorts.  I love writing, and I'd like to think that I'm good at it, but somehow that just doesn't seem enough.  

Don't get me wrong.  I enjoy the creative process and the rush of artistic fulfillment...but I wanna be popular!!!  I want people to like me, or at least know who I am.  That's real power.  The power of people! 

And I'm frustrated because in the world of internet popularity fanfiction is stealing my thunder.  It seems like no matter how hard I try my writing will never be as popular as crazy wish-fulfillment fever dreams scrawled by painfully insecure writers of dubious merit.  

But enough about Ayn Rand.  Take a look at this steaming literary turd.

Go on.  Look at it.  Take a good, hard look.

Is it not the most spectacular crap?  You actually feel yourself getting dumber as you read it.  It is arguably the worst piece of writing ever to fart its way out of anyone's brain.  Ever.

And yet...it's popular.  Not a lot of people like it, but a lot of people have read it.  I mean, a lot a lot.  More than have ever stumbled onto this humble little blog.

So, I've come to a decision: I'm going to stop trying to make my writing good.  From now on I will dedicate this blog to unnecessary descriptive passages and improperly-used adverbs.  I am going to become not just a fanfiction writer, but the ultimate fanfiction writer.  You think My Immortal was shit?  Wait until you smell my shit!

Let's make this happen!

Hi my name is Indigo Night’fall Crazypants Onomatopoeia Manson. I’m seventeen years old and I’m in my seventh year at Street Fighter School in Japan. I was born in America but then I left because my parents died or something.

I have long raven black hair that comes all the way down to my knees with indigo streaks in it and blue tips at the end. I have pale skin and purple eyes the color of purple gems (A/N:: shez nut wering contackz doze r hur reel eyez so FUQ U!!1). I’m skinny enough that people think I’m anorexic. I’m also curvy in all the right places. Don’t ask me how that works. It just does.

I’m goffick in case you couldn’t tell. I’m studying at Street Fighter School to become a ninja- even though I’m better than all the teachers. Also, I’m a vampire, but I don’t burn up in the sun because of my magic powers. I have magic powers because I’m also a witch.

Today I was wearing my black Hot Topic ninja outfit with a black leather corset and black leather combat boots. I had purple fishnet gloves on my arms with black leather arm cuffs. I was wearing a black leather choker around my neck and 18 earrings in my ears all made of black leather. My finger nails were painted black and then covered in black leather just to be safe.

I don’t wear white foundation because my skin is so pale, but I was wearing black lipstick on my lips and tons of black eyeliner and BLOOD RED eyeshadow.

Suddenly, I turned around and there was……….Ryu Hoshi!

He was wearing a goffick black karate outfit with an MCR logo on the back (A/N: MCR ROX!!!!11111). He was also wearing black eyeliner and had painted his nails black, too. He was also also wearing a red headband from Hot Topic with little black skulls all over it which went great with his BLOOD RED contact lenses which expressed so much of his darkness and depression and sexiness.

He started to say something to me, but then I had to do something so I went away.

I was coming back from ninja class when I ran into my best friend Ambrosia. Her name used to be Chun-Li but then she found out that her real parents were vampire-witches killed by M. Bison. When she found out the truth, she changed her name and converted to Satanism just like me. I’m also a Stanist.

“Hey Indigo!” said Ambrosia goffickly (A/N: geddit??? cuz shez goffick1) “I saw Ryu looking at you before class.”

“Yeah so?” I muttered sexily (A/N: geddit??? cuz Ryu iz dah sexor! hez like Gerard Way cept sexaher cept not cuz datz nout pozzubul. an if u don no who dat iz dan u r a pozer-prep so GO TA HELL N FOOKING DIE!!!!111!)

“Do you like him?” she asked all inconsequentially.

“No fucking Way (A/N: lik Gerard!111 OMG I wan 2 be fooking WAYLOL1111!). That is so fucking retarded.” I said all sarcastic-like.

Ambrosia then said “BTW, did you hear about Hecate? She became a fucking prep loser and failed all her classes and got expelled from Street Fighter School. Then Bullrock killed her with a forklift and E. Hunda had sex with her dead body.”

“Mwahaha that is awesome.” (A/N: BTW dana hecate iz u. GIV ME BAK MAH FUKING SWEATER!!1111111!1!1!1!1)

We went into the cafeteria. I got myself a bowl of ramen noodles with blood and poured myself a glass of blood. Suddenly, I turned around and there was………………….Ryu Hoshi!

“Hey Indigo” Ryu said sexily.

“Hey Ryu” I said depressingly.

“Hey guess what?” asked Ryu. “Good Charlotte are having a concert in Tokyo.”

“OMFG I love GC! Almost as much as I love PATC or MCR (A/N: MCR ROX!!!!!!1) but definitely more than I love NIN, MM, BBC, TNT or DMX.”

“So do you wanna go?”

“GASP!” I gasped.

Chapter 4: Goffick Song Title

A/N: OMG DANA U R DA BEST U RUL!!!!!!!111 prepz u stil sook. MCR U STIL ROK111`111


Ryu picked me up for the concert. He looked real sexah. He took me to his flying car and we flew off to Tokyo for da concert. But then he flew the car into a tree!

“OMG what r you doing Ru?” I asked both angrily and sexily.

We started to french passively. Then we fondled each other nonparticipatively. We took off all our clothes unresponsively. Then Ryu took his boy tool and stuck it in my lady flower. We started to have da sex.

“Omg Ryu. Omg. Omfg.” I said having an orgasm.

“Omg Indigo I luv you. You are da most sexiest girl in da world. You r prettier than Amy Lee. Omg Inigo u make me wanna Hadooken in my pants.” Said Ryu all sextastically.

Suddenly, we heard a noise in da forest.

“WHAT THE SHIT ARE YOU COCKSUCKERS DOING FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK!”

It was……………………………………………………….....Professor Gouken!

XXXXXABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZXXXXX

Goken looked at us all angrily and badly.

“What were u doing having sex in a car in da woods?” He asked in a very angry manner of asking. “This sort of thing could get u expelled from Street Fighter School!”

I started to cry BLOOD RED TEARS OF BLOOD. I looked over at Ryu. He was also crying BLOOD RED TEARS OF BLOOD. The only one in the immediate area not crying BLOOD RED TEARS OF BLOOD waz Goukin but that was because hez not goffick enough (A/N: GED? DIT?).

“Explain yourselves,” said Gookin. “Why would u do such a thing you preposterous underlings?”

“BECAUSE I LOVE HER!” cried Ryu (TEARS OF BLOOD!).

“But I thought u were in love with Ken Masters?” asked Gouk’n. “I heard that you had the sex with him?”

I shooted at Ryu an angry look. “You had the sex with Ken? That fooking prep-poser?”

“It didn’t mean anything,” said Ryu sensitively. “It waz only one or fifteen times. Come on.”

I started to cry BLOOD RED TEARS OF BLOODY BLOOD. “RYU HOSHI YOU BASTARD!” Then I ran away into da forest.

I was all depressed and not in the good goffick way. I tried to slit mah wrists with some twigs, but that didn’t work. Suddenly, it became verrah quiet. All the birds stopped singing. I heard someones high heels coming towards me. I turned around. It was………………………………………………………………………………................................M. Byson!

“Indigo, thine time hath come!” he said evilly.

“No! What do you want? No!” I said sadly.

Then Bisenn gave me a gun. “Thou must taketh the lyfe of Ryu Hoshi!”

“OMFG!”

“Indubitably!” he said darkly. “If thou doth not, then mine own self wilt doth it anywaye and taketh thine owne lyfe as well anon.”

I thought about Ryu. I thought about his goffick black hair and his sexah BLOOD RED eyes and the way he looked like Joel Madden and Gerard Way combined only hotter except not cuz that’s impossible. I thought about da sex we had in the tree. I thought about how I had not put my clothes back on after that. I thought about how cold it was. I thought about how I wished I had eaten more before I left. I thought about Count Chockula. Then I thought about how Beyesun wanted me to kill Ryu or he would kill us both.

That’s when I remembered: I’m a fucking ninja!

I turned to Beesting looking all angry and sexah and goffick at the same time. “Of all the fucking prep-posers I have ever met, u are the preppiest and the poseriest. You’re not even wearing any black! You r evil and must be destroyed! And I am the one to do it!”

He laughed sarcastically. “Thou ludicrous motherfucker! I am madeth of pure evil and cannoth be destroyed by anyone. Not even thou, even though thou art a ninja, a vampire, and a witch. Anon.”

“But I have one thing dat you don’t have!”

“And what’s dat?”

I started to do my Ultra Combo. I screamed my battle cry.

“SHOORYOOKIN!!!!”

Then I shot him with the gun.

“Nooooooooooo!!!!!111!!1!!!!1” Boston started to melt. Then he started to turn to ash. Then he died.

“Indigo! Inigo!” I heard a voice. I turned and there was…………...Ryu Hoshi!

I was so happy to see him I cried BLOOD RED TEARS OF BLOOD. Ryu also cried TEARS OF BLOOD and we started to french again. Then we drank some beers, slit our wrists and smoked some drugs. Then he stuck his thingy in my you-know-what all night long.
