N.O.O. - No Other Option While I have been earnestly watching Beck and discovering I like alphabetising my anime dvd collection, I've also been dreading exams and playing my new [WOODEN!] clarinet!
I haven't taken it to band(s) yet, as you're supposed to work your way up with playing time. First practise 5 minutes, then 10, then 15, and another five every time. And since band rehearsals are 1 hour and 1.5 hours, I need to at least be up to 45 minutes. And for China Tour the longest performances are 50+ minutes.

Ooh, random excitement about going to China! *dances*

And I not so subtley hinted to my mother about the possibility of a digital camera for my birthday - one I can take overseas with me. So expect lots of lovely photos. And I can probably post in here for updates, too; it depends on how long I have in an internet cafe/the hotel.

Apologies for not posting sooner - I was very fired up about something that made me angry, but I didn't have access to the computer then. And when I was going to do that I wasn't in the right mood - so la de da I didn't post.

I'm currently freeing the computer of about 50gb of anime that's been sitting around happily for a while.

Secretly I'm just wanting to burn more Beck for happy tv watching, but apparently if I also free up 15% of computer space, I might be able to sucessfully create those funky schmunky menus that stuffed up before. (I can't believe I wrote 'funky schmunky'... And I'm thinking I didn't spell it correctly. Ahh, Suchu, your influence has deepened.)

Now while Stephen (currently on the other computer) constantly listens to my cd of Sons of Korah, I wail over the stupid speaker that keeps falling over for me. Sigh. *wraths*

Oh, and random note: Tristan (not the one who doesn't exist) is cool. ^_^

...
I'm not even able to comment on The Battery Kids related shock!news, so I won't. I'm sure all will be well. (ie. me being the only one that's dying)

!!!! How can you think a homeless man is a politician?!! ARGH!! <-- I am having constant wailings about how Timothy Daly (pro script writer and teacher and other things) read my script wrong... Oh well.. *sigh*

Jazz hours on Radio Adelaide are my happy drama script writing times, so if anyone else actually listens to it, I probably am as well.

Sigh.. Stupid nonsensical meaningless posts....

:D

Don't worry, self, you're just insane. *pats head*  ¶ 12:18 PM 1 Comments

  Passenger Seat Who wants more friends?

Apparently, everyone does. Or should. Or something.

*entranced dance to DCFC* ^_^ Preeetty! I'm not sure if that's a proper reaction to their music, but it's mine.

I've been considering plotting out some Hack Sign songs, but as the piano is currently unreachable, that probably won't be soon.

Drama assessment was fine, I think I did 'well', but you never know... And the more I think about my english one, the more trepidation I feel about getting it back. Ahh, it's all just practise for the HSC, no stress, 10% here, 15% there.. Grr.. I would hate myself if I were someone else. ^_^ la, la la...

I like it when some of my favourite authors update. But they haven't. :

And while Rachael was referring to such... things as 'Snarry' today, I was thinking of how I haven't read fanfics for such a long time.. I've done such things as removed myself from yahoo community emails for Aspen's A Year Like None Other because I'm just not interested. And it was becoming like spam. Never read them. I think joining up there with my gmail account is what allowed me to receive insightful messages about men's health and boosting medications, though. *scowl*

This week I am trying to keep no record of wrongs. This is particularly difficult, as it's something I've been doing a lot of the last couple of weeks. And they're not really wrongs against me, but as I take most things horribly personally and can't force them out of my mind... Sigh, I say (and do).

On a lighter note, Earl Grey tea is becoming more agreeable to me. I am very babe-ish-ly having it very weak and pouring in so much more milk than I ever would with even hot chocolate, but I'm finding it vaguely nice. When that's all that's brewing, and someone is willing to do it for you, you take the offering. Plus, when you're studying and feeling lazy, it's extra nice. And today I had two cups, as Jean didn't want hers as much as she thought she did.

Oh yay. My postings are about tea. I really should pay that $250 and do a coffee course so I can actually be rightfully and licensedly elitist when I note that my cappucino maker doesn't know how to level off that which has been ground.

Newtown, here we come!

Actually, an adventure to Denny's and that poster store again would be nice, as well as picking up some cheap funnily-coloured nail polish. Yay for false materialism!  ¶ 8:07 PM 1 Comments

  'Marriage is for life, not just for anniversaries' http://www.nationstates.net/urraki

My Nation States nation - yay! I'm quite bad with money - I just like civil rights and have no care for being bankrupt...

News?

I'm probably about halfway through my Short Story major work, In Loco Parentis, which is quite excellent. And I finally have an idea that I like for my drama script - yay!

I was watching Video Hits this morning (and yes it was painful) but I found a couple of nice emo bands...

So what else is news? Lenny is schleeeepy, and has to write an essay this afternoon, read 3 books, write 3000 words of English story... the list does go on.

But - Stephen has a lab coat! Which means I'll have a proper costume for drama performance..

*collapses on keyboard*

No!

Yet I've had a coffee already today, and it was quite a large one.. *thinks of tea instead* Ooh! Have to do some telephoning...

I'll leave you with my script idea and you can give me a plot, please!

All politically incorrect and purposely eccentric characters. The play starts with a homeless man on his park bench, then the Grandma comes in, pretending she's so frail she needs to sit down, and shoves him off... The idea is that gradually all the characters come in and.. stuff.. HELP, please!

Homeless man: the only one who is supposed to be there, but he’s the only one without a home
Mr. Scott Jenkins: A businessman fired from his job. He wears a paper bag on his head with eyeholes. He thinks he's failed life, miserably, and eternally.
Grandma: considers herself to be very frail and old (thus everyone should be nice to her) when in fact she is very physically able.
Maxine: Politically incorrect feminist. A lecturer on women’s issues at the local university. Claims to be fighting for feminist desires, and sees herself as a bra burner, but submits to patriarchal misogyny in every way.
Emo boy: very emotional and usually happy. He has ‘ATTENTION’ written in red paint on one arm and ':)' on the other, trying to look like scars. Earphones constantly in. He actually has nothing to pity himself over.

What happens? ARGH!!! I need a plot by.. tuesday! Or I'll be visciously attacked by my not-so-nice teacher and you probably won't see me ever again ^_^

  Hiding in anonymity I'm currently listening to Iced Earth - anyone heard of them? Rindi might like them.. Not quite death + angry enough, maybe, but close to screaming Noise.

I've got a copy of the March issue of DMAG! Yay! I've gone through and marked which articles I wrote so I can show friends at school next week. The highlight for me is being able to insert friends' names into publication. First Amrit, then Rindi, now the world!

Although I don't know if Amrit would remember who I am... Perhaps I'll scan in the logic puzzle I made (with Rindi's name in it) and post up soon. I can take requests, I guess. But I won't be working with them these holidays because I'll be in China, and then after that it's HSC, HSC! Stupid school >.<

I thought I wouldn't be procrastinating on the .. three? essays I have to do.. but I haven't done anything but spider solitaire, checking blogs and listening to music for a couple of hours. Why did I choose essay subjects? Remember that all I'm doing is histories, english and drama.. *sigh* I love my subjects, though, I really do. Although everyone in my drama class (including me) wishes they could drop it, but can't. Actually, Katy can, but she doesn't want to screw us over even more than the teacher has. That's nice.

I think I'll be going up for a coffee soon... Yet tea is my latest nice drink. That calming effect... Drinking so many cups that... Well, it's not that bad.

I wanted to *wave* 'hi' to Maddy. *huggggg* I've been missing you, as strange as that may be at times.. :) Thank you for your review, and I hope emailing you works. Hmm...
Well, what you said made me smile very much, and then I went to check my poem to see what was so true about the lines (I couldn't remember which one it was). But - thank you always. Don't stop writing, either!

Speaking of some things writing, I'm toying around with one idea for a book.. that would be a very big work, but nothing like any of my novel plans. I might let you in on the secret, in a little while.
We should have another panel at EXO. ^^

  I could change the world if I could change my mind Word on the street (ie. from Erin who does actually know) that a Jazz band is playing at Courtyard Cafe this Saturday. Hm. Now I can't remember if I've said this. Feel free to ask.

*dances to Radio Adelaide*

I confessed to a friend today that all I really wanted to do was go to Adelaide. They were all discussing their deep-seated dreams of retiring and moving to France, or leaving Australia straight after school and going to Asia or eastern Europe. : Well, I might seem a bit dull and loser-ish, but that's all I'd want to do. Sure, I want to frolick beautiful green hills in Europe, and maybe once have a white Christmas, but overall I do love Australia. I can't *really* imagine living anywhere else. Go Aussie pride. Heh.. those new tourism ads...

I need to go back to being addicted to the Sims (2), I think. All I do is play spider solitaire while waiting for new Nation States issues, and frankly it's almost unfortunate I've lost some of the more obsessive/addictive parts of my being. It's really only coffee these days, and I'm blase` about that too. I even have a plan for Lent. Crazy. What has happened to me??

It's times like these I consider I truly am a boring person.

However, some of my more lufflier friends will say 'nay' and I will thank them for their friendship words of love (*huggles* Suchu). ^_^

Ahem. Now the emotional pizzazz is over, let's discuss something confrontational.

Actually, if you like debate about some hot issues, head over to Kate's blog. She gets really into stuff. Unfortunately it's an MSN Space, so you'll need some id to get in. Heh.

My Gran was warning me just a few minutes ago about the lack of True Toilets in rural China. Don't worry, I've already been informed I need to take toilet paper! And to save weight (and space), word is to take out the cardboard roll and squash it flat, for maxmising room. Just some tips, folks.

I'm considering transfering my floating candle (it's actually flower-shaped!) from the bowl Eddy gave me (he went to Japan!!! *cries about wanting to fit in his suitcase*) to another decorative one I found in the house. I've inspected it and decided I will experiment (though I haven't informed/asked my mother yet) using a beautiful bowl so that my floating candle will in reality float. Yes.

^_^ Ta... Sorry for lack of interesting reading, again. Lost is on tonight, and it's one of the tv shows I do watch, though I am sick of them advertising it as though this is a MUST SEE episode because I will finally get ALL THE ANSWERS. Pfft. As if, I say. Even the writers don't know any endings.  ¶ 7:29 PM 0 Comments
