S&N: Little Dancer 1

Note: Nazilla is a woman!

We had completed the act of lovemaking hours ago. Samara, my love, had gone to sleep quickly after. I liked to see that I could still make her happy even without being human. The thought that I couldn't keep her happy sexually had troubled me, no matter how far back in my mind it had been. However, pleasing her sexually was only half of the problem that I had now solved.


The other half was pleasing myself sexually. Even though Samara and I had gone at it with more passion than ever before, I couldn't get anything out of it. I couldn't even get off even a little. My M-4 body was able to tell what parts were being touched, how I should react, and what I should do with Samara to pleasure her even more. But not how I could be pleased.


I thought that knowing the emotions would make me feel them. But that had proven to be a false hope. It had also been a false hope that I would even get to see Samara again. Turning over I took in her form. With my sensors I could see her better than ever before.


There was no question in my mind, though, I loved her. Even more deeply than before. She had taken me back even after my change from human to enemy. But sexual compatibility was something that had to be taken into account. For now all that mattered was that Samara was pleasured and so my pleasure was secondary. Besides, seeing sex from a Machine's perspective was very interesting.

"I kept this for you." Samara said and handed me a box. The morning light was just beginning to come through the windows in the kitchen. I had been slightly dissappointed that Samara had chosen a more Spartan design for the curtains.


I scanned the box and couldn't believe what my sensors were telling me. I quickly opened it and my Mickey Mouse waffle maker looked up at me. The only reason that I didn't break down crying was the fact that it would've taken too much effort. I was too caught up by the moment to think about doing anything.


I handed it to her. "You use it now."


"Still as lazy as ever, Naz." Samara joked and took the waffle maker.


"No, I want to look in the paper. I need to know what's been going on in the world." I replied and a worried look started to grow on Samara's face.


"You know there is the internet."


"Yes, but this will give you a feeling of normalcy. As well as reminding me that I was human once."


Samara put a hand on my shoulder and looked me in the eyes. "You're still human to me." She finished her sentence with a kiss and I returned it.


I got the paper from the driveway and then went back into the kitchen. The news wasn't that exciting. Though that was a good thing. I didn't need something exciting to happen now. For a few minutes this continued, but an article caught my attention.


I decided to be kind and waited for Samara to be finished with our waffles. Once she put the plates down on the table, I handed the paper to her. She looked at it for a few seconds and finally asked, "What are you trying to make me see?"


"Playful Ballet." I replied. "The new security system seems to be run by something like an M-1."


"You know that The Net uses its supplies for more than taking over the world. They're also a business."


"I know, I've worked for them for three years, Sam." I replied. "However, The Net usually sells the M-1s as more normal sounding chips. The description in the article just seems to be different than normal."


A small smile appeared across Samara's face. "At least some things never change."


"Of course my courage will never change." I replied.


"I was referring to your insistance on be annoying."


I smiled back at her. "So will I go alone?"


"Never, Nazilla." She said and we started to eat our breakfast with plans of researching Playful Ballet afterwards.

The Eternal Heart: Prologue

Note:This is a Terminator fanfic that combines a bunch of different timelines, twists them around, and so can't be said to follow any one certain timeline.

"Wake up, Jash." A distant voice said. I ignored it since no one should wake me. Everyone should just let me sleep. I had risked enough and lost more than anyone else. Marty, though, would be the first to tell me that I was being overdramatic. But, of course, he had lost something that I hadn't and so thought his pain was worse than mine.

"Jash." The voice, that I could now tell was a woman, hissed. Opening my eyes I could see Lillith. Her form was human but she gave off a feel more alien than a Terminator. Looking to my left I saw Tin-Miss sitting beside me. Her real name was Cameron, if Terminators could be said to have names, and she was always confused when I called her that.

The reason I had given Cameron a nickname was because it reminded me of a simpler time. It reminded me of a time when I had hope. Well, at least before I made the worst decision of my life. Even the simplest hope that Skynet could be defeated was gone. I had helped defeat Skynet twice and I didn't know if it would stay defeated this time.

Along with my hope, my sanity had run away as fast as it could. It had seemed that without my hope, there was no sanity for me anymore. It was the reason, for a short time, that I was a traitor to the Resistance. But, for the most part, my loss of sanity and hope hadn't affected my loyalty to those who fought against Skynet.

Turning to see Marty standing on the stage made me realize that my hope and sanity weren't the only things that I had lost. I considered him a comrade still, but what he had done made it impossible for our friendship to go where it once had. I knew I had betrayed him, but at least I didn't go down to the levels he went down for me.
Being here wasn't my first choice. But I was a hero of the Resistance so I had to come.

"And now, the Former Wife of John Connor, hero of the Resistance, and a personal friend of mine has chosen to speak here and now." Marty said and I walked through the crowd.

Walking through the crowd I could tell who were my admirers, worshippers, and those who thought I should've been killed long before now. I didn't disagree with any of them, though the worshippers were not that intelligent. Once I was up on the stage I looked around the room.

I did this so I could waste time from saying what I had to say. The room appeared to be a former elementary school gym that would again be used for gym and prom, among other things, after the world had been rebuilt. It would need some touching up, though.

"Thank you, Martin Bedell," I said to him. "But you were the leader of the Resistance when Skynet fell. At least the leader everyone will remember years from now."

After the cheers stopped I continued, "All you here know is that I am not from this timeline and that I came from another one. That I lead the Resistance and won the war with Skynet. I then went back in time. I ended up joining the Resistance in this timeline. I joined John's faction and eventually came back to the Resistance. This you all know."

I looked to each of them and they nodded. "However, that isn't even half of what's gone on in my life. I now will tell you my whole history so you can make a choice. This will be a choice that will affect the future of your lives. It will either destroy you or make humanity stronger."

Before any of them could say no, I began.

Clip from New Year's Eve 2011 Vlog

One of the funniest things that happened during New Year's Eve for me (at least in hindsight).

S&N Promo (Part 1)

Nazilla tells Glau that she doesn't love Glau like a lover. Nazilla also reflects about feeling less than she was since being turned into an M4.

American Horror Story Season 1 (2011)

Show: American Horror Story

Season: 1

Episodes: 12

Developed By: Robert Rodat

Released: 2011

Personal Rating: 2.5/5

Addictive Rating: 6/5

Basic Plot: The Harmons move into a house and shit goes down.

Young Moira
This is the reason I think some people (not me for sure) watched. While the Old Moira is wise, Young Moira is hot. Dressed in a French Maid outfit and...oh yeah. Her memorable scenes are short but...very relieving of stress. I am sad that she won't be in Season 2 (since each season will be a reboot). Er...not because she's drop dead gorgeous but because she's a very interesting character. With two great parts.

Too Many Questions
Holy fuck there are so many damn questions. You go through the good majority of the season not knowing what the hell is going on and then, by the end, it doesn't matter anyways. However, I was still watching it every week while asking myself why I was torturing myself. I must admit, though, by the end a good majority of questions were answered. I just wished there would've been more answers then questions throughout the entire season.

Tate and Violet
Tate and Violet have a great relationship throughout this season. Tate is a great character in that he's a murdering psychopath but has a very caring side. Violet is attracted to this and throughout all she learns about him she sticks by his side. The deal breaker, though, is when Violet finds out that Tate raped her mother. How their relationship goes after that is very realistic, though heartbreaking all the same. This is a very serious reason I don't want the cast for this season to be thrown away.

Final Thoughts
This is a horrible show that I can't stop watching. I really wish I could. I really wish I could walk away and not be into this show. A lot (read: 99.9%) depends a lot on shock value. In other words: for you to not know what's going on. This is okay when you're beginning but not answering questions is more annoying as time goes on. And the guy saying he didn't make rules for the ghosts? What the hell does that mean? So a final warning: Don't start to watch this series and save yourself! Once you start you can never stop!

Thir13en Ghosts (2001)

Title: Thir13en Ghosts

Director: Steve Beck

Type: Remake

Starring: Tony Shalhoub, Shannon Elizabeth, and Embeth Davidtz

Rated: R

Released: 2001

Personal Rating: 4.5/5

Horror Genre Rating: 3.5/5

B-Movie Genre Rating: Why do people think this is a b-movie?

Oscars: N/A

Basic Plot: A nephew inherits his Uncle's mansion and then gets sucked into a nightmare.

Substance Over Horror
There are a bunch of people saying that the graphics in this movie are good but they aren't scary. While it didn't make me run around screaming (or give me nightmares) it was a very unnerving experience all the same. This is helped by the graphics and how so much effort was put into the ghosts (aka, they aren't just crappy CGI). I can see how some horror veterans won't be that scared, but others should be able to have a great time.

The Thirteenth Ghost
Spoiler: The PETA-type woman was lying. You can guess that Arthur doesn't die (so he isn't the thirteenth ghost). I'm discussing this because on imdb's FAQ about the movie, this is the only question on it. Dennis Rafkin (the best character in the movie! ) is the thirteenth ghost. Dennis sacrificed himself for Arthur and so became the thirteenth ghost. This proves that the Thirteenth Ghost stopping the machine (aka Mansion) was a big lie set up by Arthur's Uncle.

Nudity and Gore
The Angry Princess is always nude and frightening. Well...would be if her knockers weren't so noticeable (but I'll let you find that out on your own). The gore in this movie is very blatant, but it is always used to set up the atmosphere and not for pure shock value. Let me clarify my point this way: the gore isn't there just to be gory. It's used to heighten the atmosphere. It doesn't go overboard in that sense. But those who don't like gore should probably take caution before viewing this film.

Final Thoughts
I highly enjoyed this movie. The acting was good and the ghosts were excellent. This was a great take on a haunted house film. The house wasn't haunted by accident, it was purposefully made to be haunted. And the coolest part? It was basically a machine of Satan himself! I would highly recommend this movie to those who want to see a different take on the haunted house genre.

The YouReviewers Awards are Coming in 2012

For those that don't know (and I don't want to know how many) a group of people on YouTube started their own versions of the Oscars. In their first year (this will be their second) they started off great with the voices of the common man (and not the stuck up Oscars people) being heard. They also managed to get some real celebrities (for some odd reason they never contacted me).

I was very glad when I heard the news that the YouReviewers Awards are now an annual thing. I really hope you will support this and spread the word about it.

It is a really awesome award show with some great hosts. They even have an ape (Mark from schmoesknow)!

Here are the schmoes talking about the YouReviewers Awards:
