Harry Potter and The Goblet of Firecomes out Friday! w00t.

I'm planning on attending the 9:whatever pm showing on Friday, Nov 18, at the Paramount, with some friends. Some of these friends are not as cool as me, and refuse to dress up for Harry Potter.

so i'm calling out all of you who are planning on watching HP anyway, and would like a group to dress up with. It's really not that hard, people.... for the quick and easy, come in glorified private school uniforms with accessories in house colours (Green=Slytherin, Red=Gryffindor, Blue=Ravenclaw, Yellow=Hufflepuff), and i know some of you LARP dorks MUST have cloaks. If you're a dedicated cosplayer, I'd like to assemble a goth/hardcore Slytherin quidditch team... cause really, if any young wizard is wearing obscene amounts of black and writing bad emo poetry on his livejournal, they've gotta be Slytherin. But I need a team, people!!! who's up for it??? I've started on my costume already, but i'll be damned if i'm making a fool of myself without being able to blame it on mob mentality....

damn you daxx. intrigued.... [20 Oct 2005|12:22am]


FACT:
You embody the German principle of Konstantzusammenschaft, which is best described in English (without using the obscure English word "sammenschaft") as "eternal togethermanship".
The Loverboy
Random Gentle Love Master (RGLMm)

Well-liked. Well-established. You are The Loverboy. Loverboys thrive in committed, steady relationships--as opposed to, say, Playboys, who want sex without too much attachment.

You've had many relationships and nearly all of them have been successful. You're a nice guy, you know the ropes, and even if you can be a little hasty with decisions, most girls think of you as a total catch. Your hastiness comes off as spontaneity most of the time anyhow, making you especially popular in your circle of friends, too.

Your exact opposite:
The Billy Goat

Deliberate Brutal Sex Dreamer
You know not to make the typical Loverboy mistake of choosing someone who appreciates your good humor and popularity, but who offers nothing in return. You belong with someone outgoing, independent, and creative. Otherwise, you'll get bored. And then instead of surprising her with flowers or a practical joke, you'll surprise her by leaving.

: GRAND FINALE: 'ragnarok' (i'd apologize for the lack of a cut, but i'm not sorry *shrugs*) [03 Jun 2005|04:46am]
a work in two creative modes, and an exercise in verticality.

NOTE: if its all fucked up on your friends page, view it on my main LJ page [info]_phalanx for the intended effect.

a whisper of wings



and the darkness beats its skyward way




harbingers of
the hanging god



i invoke thee


banish all thought
and memory


what was to learn
has been learned
what was owed
has been paid

knowledge and the noose




twilight has descended
all blood is spilt
all tears are wept
and all that's left
is to take my


nine


steps


back


and die






my world's been washed in red

stained incarnadine

and now the bloodletting's stopped

and the echo of the horn

fades over the hills

the earth's been rent

by the struggle of giants

and i don't recognize it anymore





time for Surt to start his fire



time for me to close this chapter



time to rip my hands into the corpse of Ymir
and paint the sky with his innards
time for this all
to burn
and become new



leaving this dessicated place
for the carrion birds


and Munin


i leave tomorrow for tofino. while i'll be back in a week, this is my last entry here. this LJ will be deleted when i come back to Van. all things come to a close. its part of the process.. 'for there to be life, there must also be death'. so too must this incarnation of my livejournal die.

thanks for reading, faithful viewers :)

You Are The Outlaw
"Sure, I'll do it. My way."

Just because you do not conform to the same laws and rules as everyone else does not mean that you are a bad guy. You travel your own path, separate from those around you, with your own reasons for doing what you do. Because of this and your own nature, it goes without saying that you are generally misunderstood. That does not matter much, though, as people love you for being who you are. You are pretty well set in your ways and have no real intention of changing. This can come across as a flicker of arrogance if your not careful. You do what is right for you, and God help anyone who stands in your way.

+ changes + [31 May 2005|02:07pm]
[ mood | thoughtful ]

ah, a world in flux. caught between the comfort of the old and the appeal of the new, a twilight hour of change as people make the shift. some people seem to stay the same... dependable, stable, but growing in imperceptible ways. me? i like to reflect change. Represent visually in my own person changes in mental state, emotional state, lifestyle. I'm an art fag and a fashion whore, what else did you expect? maybe i do it for a sense of progression though. a timeline of reminders that i am changing, and that things are not the same as before. Change should not be ignored, lest you repeat the same mistakes.

...forward not backward, upward not forward,and ever twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom

maybe i'm absent minded, and every small way i change is a reminder of lessons learnt, wounds healed, people in my life i love.

and this, more than any, is a time of permutation. time to live in the present, as we all must, and for the future, not the past. Keep what was worth it, and don't hold on to the phantasm of something that maybe never existed like you thought it did.

I leave for Tofino this weekend. With some friends i haven't seen in a long while, a friend thats remained constant, and a new love. i find that quite fitting. Time to shift gears, young padawan, and concentrate on the now. You are not a jedi yet.

i'll be changed, by the time i come back. expect a facelift for this tired livejournal reminder of dramas past. expect new art, and the completion of old. There comes a time when one has to stop wandering the gallery, and get back into the trenches of artistic creation. expect a tristan who's used his week of respite in the bosom of mother nature, embraced between sky and earth and sea, to refocus himself, and clean the grit from his eye.

there have been a lot of changes lately. i'm a lot different now than when a lot of you met me, some as lately as 8 months ago. time to switch from defensive... adapting, rolling, learning... to offensive. time to stop figuring out how my life's changed, how i've changed, and start living my life with those changes.

we're all people in progress. i forgive everyone that, as i hope they forgive me. but you've got to keep on moving. life's too short, not to live every moment as best you can.

[ mood | aggravated ]

funny story: i left my phone at Jhayne's party a couple days ago. So the next day I phone it, and talk to Jhayne and agree that when i'm in that end of town later, i'll pick it up. But no one answers ever again. And apparently I wasn't talk to Jhayne... so who is this mystery girl? Who else was there? Patti? no, i'd recognize her voice easily. Navi? maybe. Sophie or whatever random girl i just met? who knows? She knows she has MY phone, cuz she seemed to know me by name, and now the battery's dead and I can't call it anymore.

the longer I go without my phone, the less and less funny this is.

holy shit. try to find some good guys hair style ideas online, and I surface in the middle of a goddamn turf war.

Jesus, apparently i got outta high school just in time to miss the MAJOR HATE-ON thats apparently going on about emo. I mean, i know vaguely what emo is, I don't care either way, but google punk emo hair and I end up in the middle of a goddamn molotov cocktail fight.

i just like cool hair. in cool colours. what the hell, people.



and motherfucker, there are like no good hair photos for guys online.

best i could find is the madradhair LJ community has image galleries.... JUST GO TO THEIR INFO. DO NOT JOIN. Not unless you like your friends page hammered with hundreds of 14 year old american girls asking for what to do with their hair.

[ mood | sith ]

they say you can judge a person by the friends they hang out with.

I just added a Sith to my friends list :S

just because he's a dark lord or whatever, doesn't mean he doesn't have angsty day-to-day struggles that need to be expressed in prose online, just like the rest of us.

and i haven't changed, as a person... i still love girly movies, laughing at the weak, dressing up in black, spinning a red staff.....


*blink* ...


sith... SHIT, i meant, SHIT!

:P

EDIT: and why did they make this stupid thing impossible to read? baka!


Your Birthdate: June 28

Your birth on the 28th day of the month (1 energy) adds a tone of independence and extra energy to your Life Path.

The number 1 energy suggest more executive ability and leadership qualities than you path may have indicated.

A birthday on the 28th of any month gives greater will power and self-confidence, and very often a rather original approach.



Unlike much of the other 1 energy, this birthday is one that endow with the ability to start a job and continue on until it is finished.

You may prefer to use the broad brush, but you can handle details as well.

You are sensitive, but your feeling stay somewhat repressed.

You have a compelling manner that can be dominating in many situations.

[ music | Godspeed You Black Emperor! - Moya ]

and hte soft dulcet tones of Godspeed - Moya crash over me
and drag every tear
and every regret
to the surface
and the sun's burning glare
and i regret nothing, you know
nothing, and everything
i'm not as good as i'd like to be
i'm not as good as you want me to be
and i'm sorry i'm more a person in progress
than you saw at first glance
i've gotten better at dealing
better at forcing it down
and smiling
always smiling
who needs people to confide in
people to cry on
people to cry for
when i've got music?

not me...

people just die on you, to you. music's eternal.
she's always there, and i lay down in her arms
close my eyes, and let the dreaming come
to the soft ringing of violin strings into the darkness

[ music | The Dresden Dolls - Good Day ]

You scored as Apathy. Your life is marked by quite a bit of apathy: You don’t seem to care much about the direction of your own life, much less society in general.



I would find a quote or two to better describe the virtues and thoughts behind apathy, but ironically those who would espouse the concept of apathy are too apathetic to write about it.



“Eh, who cares?”

[ music | The Dresden Dolls - Bad Habit ]

was going through my nightly ritual of checking on my bookmarked webcomics, and as i was checking Ctrl Alt Del, http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/, i read about a little 5 year old boy with cerebral palsy and his parents who are fundraising for a van to transport him and his little wheelchair.

little bugger's name is Tristan.

so i donated the remainder of my PayPal account...

it ain't much, but its something, i guess.

You don't mean it

You need a uniform
So you won't be ignored
You are affected
And so you're accepted

It's time you invested in a bottle of poison
So we don't have to hear about your bitchin and moanin
You think you could afford a fuckin bottle of aspirin

Boo fuckin hoo you're not the only one whose life's a piece of shit
And yet miraculously somehow we all seem to deal with it
Did anybody think that you would really seriously slit your wrists
In fact I think that everybody thinks you're seriously full of shit
