Happy Fandom Beauty Day!!

(Pic by my Mum, arm by me, (Well,
technically mum did that too.) Fandom symbols by Mum.)
Note to TFiOS fans: I am a TFiOS fan. I forgot my to draw my "Okay? Okay." bubbles. I'm sorry. Forgive me. Okay? Okay.

You may be saying to your self, "Self? Why has this blogger, writer and dare I say friend, darkened the endless web of the internet with a picture of an arm? And a hairy, pale arm at that?" Or you may just be saying, "Hey! Look an arm!"

Either way, IT'S FANDOM BEAUTY DAY!!!

And by "Fandom Beauty Day," I do not mean the twisted concept that we have as a society of what be pretty.

I mean the glory! the honor! the all over awesomeness that lives in The Fandoms as a whole and in Fandom individuals.

So I bestow unto you a picture of my arm. Also, I be pale and I be hairy. I blameth me Dad, both for the hair and for the way I was just talking just then.

SooOOOoOoo, just in case you don't know what some of the symbols are...

**********

#DFTBA = Don't Forget To Be Awesome, Nerdfighters/Vlog Brothers John and Hank Green
Red circle with wibbly squiggles around it = Anti-angel symbol, Supernatural
Blue box with flashy red nob on top = Tardis, Doctor Who
Brown triangle with circle and line = The Deathly Hallows, Harry Potter
Orange curly diamond with horns = Rune, The Mortal Instruments
221B = Address, BBC Sherlock
Yellow ring with writing = The One Ring, Hobbit/LotR
Giant red *A* = Avengers logo, Avengers
Orange *B* = Buffy B, Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Green shark tooth with a star = Federation symbol, Star Trek/ST:TNG
Red and white circle = Pokéball, Pokémon
Scary blue fork of doom = Trident, Percy Jackson

*********

So anyway Fanlings, I think we need a symbol. What do you think it should be? A panda? A top hat? A panda IN a top hat? I'll have it figured out by next year.

If you too have an idea for the LastFangirl symbol, and/or and symbol-y arm pic, feel free to post it below.

In conclusion, live it up Fanlings. Today is our day.

*****UPDATE*****

My anti-angel symbol met an unfortunate end involving my upper arm. I wrote "So Get This..." in its wake. RIP anti-angel symbol. You will be missed.

"The Fault In Our Stars" Movie Review

This review contains spoilers.

If you wish to stay spoiler free, do not pass happy Hazel and Gus.

So, turn back now.

Really.

Like now.

WEEeeeEEEeeoooOOOOOOoWEEEEeeeEeEEeOOOOOOoooOO!!!!

*AHOOGA AHOOGA*

All right-y then. 

(Pic from here, hearts by... Google just kinda puffed it there)

I'm starting the review now, okay? Okay.

Going in to the movie, I was expecting not to like it. I figured that with Baby-face (aka Ansel) playing Augustus, and the famous chick of the hour (aka Shailene) playing Hazel, it couldn't do my favorite book justice.

What do you fear more Gus? Oblivion, or nap time?
He can NOT believe I just said that.

Well.

I will admit the book made me cry more. They hit all the important stuff in the movie and kept a good amount of the lines from the book:
"Okay? Okay."
"I'm on a roller coaster that only goes up, my friend."
"My eyes are good. They're not in my head is the only problem."

I still stand by my feelings regarding Baby-face. That being said, his face radiates youth and health, making finding out about his illness more of a shock.

Shailene did a great job as Hazel.


Both Phillip (the oxygen machine) and Isaac (the blind bestie) had bigger roles in the book.

They dealt with the texting and other technology related stuff very well. *cue photo*

When I read the book, there where little tear marks on the pages where other people had cried on it before me.

And let me say, I'm not a crier.

I go into shock, then the feels, screaming, and finally, I cry jus a wittle bit if I really sad.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being "my nemesis just stepped on a lego" and 10 being "my heart has been ripped out, rolled in glass and shoved down my throat/Augustus dying," whilst reading the book I was at 8 1/2. During the movie... 6.

Over all, there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Any house.

It was good. I liked it. I'll probably get it on DVD. And cry. Okay? Okay.
