Stolen from ovo_kinder  because I am really really bored. ^^;

( quizzy goodness )

Jack is a poohead. I know that sounds childish but he is. Yes, blame yourself, you stupid stupid immortal man. You sacrificed too much. Yes, fine you saved the world. But still. Anyone else. Whyyyyyy? T____T

That was bloody good though. O___O; Well shot. It really looked like a proper riot, even without vast numbers of people. And wow, the ethical questions it raises about the value of human life. I'm having a long discussion with my dad about it.

/is emo

And I did not get the story finished today that I intended to.

Ugh... I might need to download Torchwood episodes to make a video now... T_____T

Decided to change my layout. The other was just a bit too busy for me, though it was very pretty. This one is by enamour  at appleleaf.

Okay, to update from Monday's entry: I won't be getting a reply from UEA until next month, when the A level results come out, because it would not be fair to accept a near-miss like me before looking at those who get through straight away from the A levels.

I understand and everything but I wish I just knew where I was going so that I could get in touch with Essex in case I go there. It's not a bad university to be honest; I was really wondering if I should just go there instead of UEA at one point, but over time I've kind of come to have my heart set on UEA without realising it. Like you don't know how much you want something until it's denied from you.

Anyway. Component marks come out next week so I can get my English exams re-marked if I'm close to the six I need. In the meantime I'm going to get used to the idea of going to Essex so that I don't get as disappointed next month. Essex has some really good student union events so I should be happy if I go there. I just hope I don't end up in the towers. *shudders*

At least I have sent off my student finance stuff finally.

On another note, we may not be doing Animal Farm at drama after all. The idea was that we do this by September so that those of us who are going off to uni in the autumn get to do one last production before we leave (there's about three, maybe four of us). But since our last production (in March - performed on my eighteenth) we've had a group of people join who are not as... committed as they ought to be. Read: They show up late, do nothing but eat each other's faces and chat and then promptly walk out of the session during the warm-up, before we even begin work on the play. They're paying £3.50 a week to do bugger all and I want to slap their faces in. And it doesn't help that they are little emo kids obsessed with Twilight. These are the kinds of fans who nearly scared me out of the fandom. Ugh. The general feeling at the moment is that we won't get anything done by September unless these people actually do something for once. Which they won't, because that is just the way they are. We may put on something smaller as a smaller group and just ignore those who don't turn up enough. I don't know. Barrie's going to tell us next week if we're doing it for not.

Anyway, I digress. I need to find a job. Will probably end up waitressing. The hairdressers' is asking for models but I'm scared to let someone cut my hair, even if it is free or paid or whatever, because I know I would look awful with the kinds of hairstyles they want to practise on people.

Hmm... This entry went a bit more emo than I intended. Ah well, everyone has their days. I just needed to complain to someone/something not connected to the situation and my friend is not on MSN like usual. :/

One of three: Smooth Criminal, Billie Jean or Thriller (lol predictable - I never said I was a die-hard fan).

However I do also like Heal the World. I remember doing a dance routine to it with some other girls when I was in primary school.

Anything really, as long as I don't get distracted and start singing along.

Specific artists or albums which seem to help are Bruce Springsteen, The Stereophonics and my dad's air guitar anthems compilation CD.

( long rant is long )

(Sorry about the complete randomness of this rant by the way; I have very little to do right now... Well... I am putting off a lot and that has led to me feeling inexplicably bored.)

Kinderueberaschungseiverpackungsbessenheittherapeut = German; therapy for those who have an obsession with the packaging for Kinder Surprise eggs
kusje = Dutch; kiss (not really better than the English but cute)
nijntje = Dutch; little bunny~ (original name for Miffy)

Yes I know it is a little bit late. I haven't edited it and it is likely full of conjecture, but I finally finished my Eurovision review.

Follow the cut to read it. The actual comments on the songs don't begin immediately so if you just want to read those I advise you to scroll down.



I hope it's not too dull... ^^;

In other news: I just whacked the back of my head really hard against the wall. I hope I don't have concussion because that would only make me as daft as my sister. I feel sleepy but it is two in the morning and the whack to my head woke me up more than anything else tbh.

I don't know if I believe in fate or not to be honest.

I do believe in karma, because I like justice- I think people who have done atrocious things should get what they deserve and I like good deeds to be rewarded.

However if fate will mean that I pass tomorrow's Biology exams, then I whole-heartedly believe in it! ^^;

*wants to correct the spelling in the question"

Hmm... I would say Wuthering Heights, as that is my favourite book, but I know that mad Yorkshire people swearing to destructive love and passion that transcends all that is ordinary and returns from beyond the grave is not to everyone's taste. =P

Okay, having thought about it a bit... I would say City of Glass by Marry Hoffman.

It's the first in the Stravaganza series, about a parallel-world Italy and people who can travel there with "talismans" and become Stravaganti. I think that it's a really nice series and the plots are really well-thought out, but the first book is easily the best in my opinion. Probably because it's about the parallel-Venice and I have wanted to go there ever since I was really small.

I also really love the characters and back-story to this book and I think it would appeal to a really wide range of people so I think I would recommend it above anything else. :3

Alternatively I would recommend Sophie's World or perhaps My Family and Other Animals. Both are well worth reading.

Finally, after nearly two years since I began this story, it is finished! Chapters six and seven are now on FF.net!

Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran; I'm just having some fun with the characters and my own warped mind.
Warnings: Angst, angst, angst.
Summary: Haruhi collapses in the host club, and everyone is worried. What is wrong with her? And what effects will this have on those around her? And why is Kaoru acting so strange towards Hikaru suddenly?

Chapter 6 - Soothing

Chapter 7 - Breathing

I may do another chapter with cumulative author's notes but most likely won't bother. I'd rather let the fic speak for itself really.

I used to think so unconditionally... But now I'm not so sure. Allow me to quote Paramore on this one:

"Second chances, they don't ever matter, people never change..."

Basically, I have been fucked over too many times to be able to say yes to this question.

CREATE YOUR BAND NAME & ALBUM COVER

To do this:

1 - Go to Wikipedia. Hit "random" or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random.
The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to Quotations Page and select "random quotations" or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3.
The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days” or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days.
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use Photoshop or similar to put it all together.

1. Bold the names of guys you'd definitely shag.
2. Italicize the names of guys you might shag after a little persuasion.
3. Leave the guys who don't do anything for you alone.
4. Put a question mark after the guys you've never heard of.
5. Strike the guys you wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole.
6. ADD FOUR OF YOUR OWN AT THE END.

( Fun is this way... )

 

Note: I wrote most of this last night but my mum turned off the wireless and I could not be bothered to change any of it when I came back to it now. So all the days are slightly different (i.e. "today" is yesterday).

Okay, so I was gone for a few days from the Internet (for the most part) because I had a friend to stay. She's from Bedford and we only get to meet up a few times a year. -.- Hopefully it will be more often when we get to uni. But then we're both applying to UEA so it would be fun if we both got in there. :3

So we spent most f the time just messing about... We walked down to the hythe (like a harbour thing in my town) and saw the Thames barges and the basin and stuff and then we walked all the way through the park and down to the end of the sea wall to see the statue of Bryhtnoth they have there. I wasn't prepared for my friend to then jump into the mud (the tide was out) and write our names in it with a stick. And then she got mud everywhere. Which was amusing for me because she was swearing a lot and I just had to say "I did tell you this would happen".

Later on we messed about with Oliverbot, but I had to screencap a couple of the answers because they were sheer brilliance. My friend got very pissy with it and started typing some really hilariously mean things, which is why the answers there are so funny.

Also watched the Sukisho OVA. We were pretty much crying with laughter because it made no sense, and my friend got very freaked out by the almost-but-not-quite-pron between Nanami and Shinichiro. I think it's because Nanami looks female and acts female but is, in actual fact, male. There are no females in Sukisho, I keep reminding her of that, but she still thought the 'proprieteress' was female, even though 'she' later got stubble and turned into a man or something... Idk, it was all so random and funny. ^^;

So today we both went to UEA with my parents and sister and she got returned to her parents when we met them there. The visit day was good on the whole, although about ten minutes into the talk about the Literture department I had to leave because I felt unbearably hot, uncomfortable and sick. Joy joy. -.- But then I went and talked to the Philosophy professor (I'm applying for three courses at that uni: Englsh Literature, English Literature with Creative Writing and English Literature with Philosophy). We talked about all sorts of random stuff in the end, including but not exclusive to Descartes, Camus, manga, Death Note, fanfiction and slash fics. (I hasten to add that he brought  these up, not me! xD)

So then I said goodbye to my friend and went on the almost-two-hour trip home, sleeping most of the way. Got home, picked up another friend and went with her and my family to a quiz night at my dad's golf club, which my friend and I helped our team win because we recognised the Teletubbies theme tune and wrote long, very complicated answers to the Harry Potter questions. Ah, what larks. xD

Got home and came here. I'm pretty desperate to find out if BwO got through their heat of Melodifestivalen, which was also today. I haven't even heard the song, but Wikipedia seems to be telling me that they have not got through, so I am pretty unhappy about that... Listening to lots of it now to make myself feel better. ><;

EDIT: It's not over yet! I'm happy again. :3

Also checked my e-mail for the first time in three days. This is why I shouldn't subscribe to so many journals. ^^;;; (The majority of this was LJ telling me people had posted stuff in communities and journals. ^^;)

Wow, this was a really long entry... And it makes no sense... Ah well.

ALSO:

1. Would it be a good idea for me to get another journal for my fan stuff or is everyone happy for me to post it in this one?

2. I'm probably going to re-arrange my tags so my journal may be messy for a while.

3. Can anyone direct me to a raccoon-related LJ theme?

1) Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2) List (and upload, if you feel like it) 5 songs that start with that letter.
3) Post them to your journal with these instructions.

the_great_elk  gave me P, so I looked on my Windows Media Player and here I have my offerings. I also can't upload music (the website I wanted to use was being useless because it only wanted mp3 formats) so I have used good old Youtube.

1. Pull Out The Pin - Kate Bush
This is from what I think is my favourite Kate Bush album, The Dreaming. I absolutely adore this song, even if it is a little bit bizarre to others (but then a lot of my music tastes are seen as weird by others). I love the emotion portrayed and how the other side of a battle line can feel about us, their enemy. That and the title is just amazing. :3

2. Poor Thing - Helena Bonham Carter (from Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street)
Despite what others may have said about how good the quality of the singing in this, particularly from HBC, I think the whole film was brilliant. And I love this song very much. It's great fun to sing at te top of your voice when everyone's out. Plus there's an emotion in the sing that I love as well... A kind of grim fascination with the past. :3

3. Poison - Groove Coverage
I have both this and the Alice Cooper version, and I love them both equally. However I decided to put this as the main one because it's such a good cover... I'm listening to it now and I've got goosebumps because I love it so very much. ^_^

4. Phantom of the Opera - Lacrimosa
Out of all the versions of this song I have on my computer, I think this one wins (with Nightwish a close second). The band is an amazing duo from Germany and I've only really recently got heavily into them, It's not the heaviest music I have but it's pretty close. xD

5. People Get Ready - Eva Cassidy
No explanation really needed as to why this makes me cry so much... It's not just because she died so young but this song seems espcially poignant because it seems to be reflecting her inner thoughts on dying if you listen to the lyrics. :3

So that's it. Tell me if you want a letter. :3

I have a list (which keeps changing) of all the places in the world I would like to go to. In no particular order:

1. Venice - I have been wanting to go there for years and years, even before I read City of Glass. That just made me want to more. I think the whole idea of a city that lives on the water is just amazing and the things they have there are just gorgeous (like the masks, the glass, etc.). My grandparents used to go to really nice places and I've got a mask on my bedroom wall that they brought back from Venice once. It's green and red and glittery.

2. Sweden - Okay, this is not a long-time wish; I want to go to Sweden because I love BwO. I want to learn Swedish for the same reason. I think it would be a cool place to visit. I prefer cold places to hot and apparently the people there are a lot happier than here.

3. Iceland - This is a long-standing wish; I seem to have always wanted to go to Iceland, and I'm not entirely sure why.

4. Japan - I'd get my friend Natasha to take me in the future because she wants to move there. She's half Japanese and she wants to move there to be a scientist when she's older. I'd like to go there and just see what it's like when you're actually there, rather than just reading about it in bloody geography in year nine where the teacher has no idea what he is on about.

5. Denmark - It would be a good place to go, I think.

6. Holland - It would be good to go back. To be honest, it might be nicer to live there again.

7. Belgium - Again, I think it would be good to go back. I'd like to see my old schools and house and friends' houses and stuff. But I wouldn't live there.

8. South Africa - My dad is South African (born in Port Elizabeth) and I think it's a shame that I have never seen the country where he was born.

I know there are more places to this. xD Right now I think the place I'd most like to go is Sweden so I could be there for when the results of Melodifestivalen round two are revealed. Fingers crossed for Martin, Marina and Alexander! They've tried this three times already- give them a chance, Sweden! ^_^
