Yes, I love my birth name. Although "Laurel" has become a little more popular in recent years, it's still pretty unique, and people tell me all the time how pretty it is. ^_^ I wouldn't mind changing my last name, though, something more interesting and not so common and boring.
One Micro Movie Review:
The Benchwarmers: Is it generally known that morons have a lot of money to spend on lousy movies or something? The commercial made this look like it would be funny in a stupid way, but I'd give it a "Hated It" rating on Netflix. I made that "pssh" half-laugh sound a couple of times, but other than that, not an actual joke to be had. Then there's the joke where the villain of the movie turned out to be gay and "our heroes" laughed at that as if it made him a total loser, "Haha, aren't you glad you aren't that homo?" kind of idiocy. THEN they made fun of "midgets" at length. Totally lowest common denominator, just plain mean kind of "humor." Run far away.
If Rob Schneider wants to keep making dumb comedies, he should stick to stuff like that one where he turns into a woman. At least that one was cute.
For the last few days, I've had a new story idea running through my head for yet another SPN/Miracles crossover universe. Like I need another one! But the idea is too good to pass up. It may be my crackiest idea yet. Cracky isn't exactly the right word; it's just really out there.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
moonlitxmelody and I discussed it at length last night and I'm just going kuckoo trying to figure it all out because it involves time travel, and you know how time travel stories can fuck with your head. How is the future affected by this and that and then what would happen if he did THIS and so on. One of my favorite things to do with writing is to take chances and not be afraid to tackle any decent idea, even if it may make people go SAY WHAAAAAAAT? I don't know when I'll actually write the story because I'm still going like a loco-locomotive on new chapters of Sjwtbh, but right now I'm just over the moon about the idea. ^___^ (A little teaser: It would be a universe with absolutely no Dean/Paul, if you can believe it.)
Starting Wednesday, we're supposed to get some rain that will cool things off about ten degrees for at least five days. I can't WAIT. BRING IT OOOOOON!
