....haha oh god I've been neglecting this place for tumblr so bad (except for RP...).

So, um... Life update! I got an injection on Wednesday in my hip to alleviate the joint pain, thus far it's been really successful, and that is fucking huge.

Like, now able to stand, walk, move, sit, sleep... everything, properly. I mean I'm still sore, there's a muscular aspect to it, not being able to do things for so long's left me on the weaker side, but... that's solvable.

So, uh... happy flail of joy, dude.

And also two days 'til my birthday. 23... oh god how did that happen??? Wasn't I supposed to be an adult like five years ago? FFFF--

Half asleep at three o'clock in the morning, I am watching internet things and trying to catch some Z's.

And...

*SPOILERS FOR TRANSFORMERS; DARK OF THE MOON*

Dear Internet Reviewers;

Carly and Mikaela are not, at all the same character.

Is this a petty gripe? Probably. But I'm half asleep and I'm not gonna get to pass out until I have suitably ranted on this topic.

Rosie Huntington-Whitely is not Megan Fox, have all the issues you may like with Megan Fox, her acting may not be the greatest, she may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, whatever.

Mikaela was awesome. Throughout the first and second movie Sam was more the damsel in distress than she was. Frenzy attacked? Sam ran around screaming and flailing, Mikaela went and got a saw to cut his head off. She drove Bumblebee back into a battle zone rather than running away. One of her major character traits is that she is loyal, to the point where she allows it to be detrimental to herself (in that admittedly clumsy scene where she explains her record). Robot poses as a girl and rampages through the school? Hit it with a car until it's dead.

Yes, the movie tried to make her eye candy. But I always felt she was the character I could best relate to? I mean, I wasn't about to related to Richboy Douchebag is mad 'cause his dad won't by him a fancy expensive car. Mikaela lived in a smaller house, and was at least capable of admitting liking hot guys was a little bit shallow. (Where as Sam liking her isn't at all shallow, despite the fact he knows nothing about her despite that she's really hot. But that's not a bad thing because.... it's totally okay for guys to do that? I don't know...) She had an interest in a male-dominated field and felt a little insecure about it, but is still shown having followed that interest, albeit in a 'look how sexy she is posing with a bike!' kinda way, but still. She went with working as a mechanic after she got out of high school. Which is awesome. (because that's what she wanted to do with her life, I'm not saying she shouldn't have gone to college, I'm saying it's great that she stuck with her interests? I don't know this is probably coming out wrong....)

She's a character. And a good one.

Carly is the chick. I'm constantly baffled by the people saying they just swapped the names and it was totally the same character. Carly's just as well off as Sam's family was, it seems, with her big, fancy loft and ability to support two people casually. She becomes 'harpy girlfriend doesn't get it' when the action starts kicking up, expecting Sam to not help the fight because it's dangerous. They try to hastily backstory it being about a brother who I guess was a soldier who I assume died... It was very vague, and she really made it All About Her, and they didn't try very hard to make it anything but... well, 'Harpy Girlfriend Doesn't Get It.'

When action actually starts she's taken hostage and led around by the arm by some guy. Even in situations where the Decepticons aren't around she waits around like the dutiful hostage waiting to be saved. (even when kidnapped, she just screams 'Sam! Save me!' and makes no attempt to save herself.)

Then as things are blowing up around her she spends the entire time screaming for help and flailing around expecting everyone else to save her.

Scene comparison:

First movie:
Lennox tells Mikaela to run and get out of the battle area.
Her basic response is: I'm not leaving until I can get Bumblebee to safety, too.

Third movie:
Sam tells Carly that it's dangerous and she should run the other way, because they're after him.
Her basic response is: I'm scared! I don't want to run alone! Help me!


Maybe they intended to write Mikaela like this in the third movie... Fine, I could believe that, they're kinda assholes. But, do not act like they're the same character. No, Mikaela wasn't perfect, but for a douchebag action movie? She was a damn good female lead. Carly wasn't. There's a difference.

*end rant about a movie series that's supposed to be about Robots* AND THAT'S NOT EVEN THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG OF SEXISM IN THIS MOVIE.

despite going to bed early, I only got about two hours of sleep last night, if that... probably less, because the last time I remember seeing would've been the two hour point, and I was awake for that.

Now I get to go work an eight hour shift...*chugs caffeine and cries*

I'm so tired... I'm sure you all found this extremely interesting... *longs to take a nap*

Story Time, children! This got a bit longer than planned XD;;

( Adventures in Self Harm and Tattoos... )

But, I have two Earth-11 sketches!

( That's right, a whole TWO )

Or June 29... is it acceptable to want to go across the border just to see the earlier release? >>;;

Fffffffffff I really should've been paying attention to the promotional material for Dark of The Moon.

Wreckers are going to be in this film.

Maybe it's only three of them and my heart's a little broken that Springer's not one of them (shit, again I regret not owning Bayformer Springer... akldjfasfa)

But again we have badass brothers on their own. Why Topspin with no Twin Twist? Why Sideswipe with not Sunstreaker?

Ugh, I don't even care I just hope they do something in this film. Pleasepleaseplease give me some awesome Robots?

Disappointed in lack of Arcee, Chromia and Elita, but... this is Bayformers, and I'm just going to avoid the rant that goes with women in this universe.

...

>>;; yeah, so... despite my better judgement I may be excited for this. Oop.

Can we make a rule that if a Doctor makes a really stupid diagnosis because they have no idea what they're talking about but refuse to admit it, then we get to go slap them?

I have an unstable S-I joint, not permanent muscle damage or 'plain old fat person back pain'? (May I take a moment to point out that the pain started when I was 15, at which time I was thin and in shape. So.)

aksldfjalkdjfs

Well, at least I have hope it will go away eventually, now?

La Senza, why do you not have any of your cute bras in size bazungas? Why? Is it so hard to make just a few sizes bigger? *sobs eternally*

...also, I was walking a little bit without a limp yesterday! =D

So, of course my back needed to give out entirely today. Yay I can't stand.

So yeah... XD; I'm a little loopy on painkillers today.. not gonna lie...

...this journal entry was mostly to complain about being too big for cute bras, I'm not even gonna lie. *is pathetic*

T___T But the little ones are so cute! Why?! Why can't I wear them too?! *sobsob*
