SPOILERS AT THE VERY BOTTOM!!!! >>>> JUST WARNING Y'ALL!!!
"Personally I like #4, just because it uses the word efficacious, but to be clear, in any one of these four definitions FORCE, is POWER of physical, mental (influence), or energy. Does it have to be super effective, earth shattering to be known or beget some other force? No. Say someone pokes your arm with one finger, well that is a force, and it rearranges just for a second, your atoms and blood and all kinds of good things! Fascinating, yes? Force begets force...Efficacious Power. I LOVE THAT! Man, that is the phrase of the night. Let me hear ya say it brothers and sisters!" [Precept #1--Force begets force, entry]
EFFICACIOUS POWER! Power enough to produce the desired result without overpowering or under-powering and producing an insufficient result. Efficacious Power...it produces the most befitting effect. This is the sort of force we need to apply to our lives. We needn't necessitate more work than needed because that simply leads to unnecessary effort on our part and unforeseen consequences. If we can learn to apply this "Efficacious Power" properly, we can attain what we desire under desirable circumstances and EVERYONE can come off the better for it!
A Waiting Kind of Life
Do you know that I wait
Everyday for you to call,
Despite protests that I should move on?
Do you know that I drag my cell phone
From room to room to room with me,
Waiting for you to call?
Do you know that I can't stand to listen
To any voice message you leave,
Knowing that when I call back you won't answer?
Do you know that I grow restless
With this waiting kind of life
That my world has become?
Yesterday I began to rewatch Digimon on YouTube...that is how bored I am. I'm past watching all of my beloved Star Trek reruns and I am now watching a show that I was obsessed with as a child. Don't get me wrong...it's a very good show. You would just think that on the cusp of my entrance into adulthood I would have better things to do with my life. Instead, I am left still feeling as if I am in the fifth grade...bloody hell.

kirkthehoplite. It was very good. Not at all what I was expecting...there were a few little cheesy, almost chick-flick worthy moments. I had been hoping for a flat out comedy, something more akin to the farcical Talladega Nights. I still enjoyed it...it just wasn't what I was expecting. It threw me off guard a bit.
Famous Last Words-- Webcomic bynaive_wanderer. Clara Seo Moon is trying to begin her life again after a great tragedy that estranged her from her family - unfortunately, the ghost who finds her wandering won't give her any peace until she discovers the meaning behind his death! And why can't her old friend Matthew just leave her alone?

So....this makes me seem completely evil...But I have always said that I'd be a Slytherin, so....meh.
Still in Deathly Hallows Mourning....but I have started on the chunk of HP fic I keep talking about doing. I wrote...most of one. And then I got all freaked out because I was like, "OMG it's OVER. My life is DEAD. The world has no MEANING." Thus, I have yet to finish it.
I am still seriously scarred over loosing Fred and Remus. Not so much Tonks or Moody. And don't even get me started on poor innocent Hedwig...what did she ever DO?

Who Knew
Pink
You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh
That's right
I took your words
And I believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh
That's right
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them up
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew
Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no
No no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I'd give anything
When someone said count your blessings now
For they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew
Yeah yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we
Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss
I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who knew
My darling
My darling
Who knew
My darling
I miss you
My darling
Who knew
Who knew
