Stole this from myworldmytrue it did amuse me greatly:



Haha 11 piping lesbians? Not sure why they are piping but yes please! Two Ianto Jones'? 1 would have sufficed :P

I went to Sydney on the weekend and spent way too much money but thats beside the point. I also saw Wicked and OH MY GAWD it was AMAZING! Like utterly brilliant, I loved it so much. I really want to see it again (well I see this about every musical I see but still, I'd like to actually make it a reality for once). It was just so magical and yeah just wow...I've had the soundtrack on repeat since I got home. Nothing much else to report, I've been getting lots of work which has been good but keeps me too busy to do anything much else. Anyway I the point of this entry was really to gush about Wicked. Go and see it if you get the chance - brilliant.

Oh and Elphaba/Glinda...I kind of ship it.

Ok so I'm now 21...yay, I think. Thanks to myworldmytrue for the birthday wishes! and omg please dont leave lj :(</span></span>

Bleh so I dont even have that much to say really. I was totally prepared to write an emo entry last night but I got over it today haha.
So my best friend Alex now has a boyfriend, her first one and I dont now how I feel about it. She's happy and thats the important thing but I just dont know where I stand now thats all. Like the relationship itself has been a little complicated to start with, well she had a few worries when they were just dating like him moving to fast and stuff. For example on their second date he said he'd like to take her to thailand and then on their third date he said "i can see by the way that you talk about your brother that he really loves you, but I will love you more". You know full on stuff like that. He also bought her an expensive phone the other day, even though theyhave only been together officially for about a week. But he is ethnic and she talked to her sister in law about it (who is Turkish) and she said that its a cultural thing. Also her parents aren't happy about it, 1 because he is 28 (she only turned 20 in June) 2 because he is Muslim. Her parents are Christian (they go to church every week and go to bible studies and stuff) so obviously they'd prefer her dating someone who is either christian or a closely related religion. Apparently her dad was really upset about it and said "any other mainstream religion but muslim". Awkward! Well anyway she is happy and I think she is just not caring about anything else at the moment just seeing where it goes. As I said before though I dont really know where I stand with her anymore though. Like before we always used to talk and say "if I ever do this in a relationship make sure you tell me how annoying I'm being" or "make sure you always tell me what you really think about it" etc. But as much as anybody says these things as soon as they are actually in a relationship it changes. Like I dont want to be the friend who got jealous and weird. I know its selfish of me but I wanted her to be single because she's mine, I dont want to give her up I mean we dont get to see enough of each other as it is and now I'll have a bf to contend with. Also I guess its just another thing to make her different from me... I know that sounds silly but its like first she went away to uni and became cool which is so not what I am but now she has a boyfriendwhich puts her on the other side of the line you know? Like she's part of another club now that I'm not. Not that I want to be part of that club, I'm completely happy being single to the point that I really couldn't actually be bothered having a relationship because its to much effort and drama and I just enjoy spending time with my friends and on my own. Maybe that makes me immature but I dont care.

I guess this turned out to be more of a whinge than I intended...my bad. Well its not like anybody reads this anyway and if you are feel free to tell me how silly I'm being, I know I am.

Weeeee. Just watched Merlin season 2 episode 1, and yes I know I am a week behind some of you but I only got the episode off my friend yesterday so...you'll just have to put up with my week late squeeing. That being said there wasn't a whole lot to squee about this episode. In short -
The best bits:
# Merlin angsting because Arthur is a prat and replaced him so easily, oh I felt his pain; the bit in the stable where he looks like he is literally about to start sobbing - just gorgeous!
# Gaius being all caring towards Merlin, such sweet interactions here.
The worst bits:
# Arthur/Gwen DO NOT WANT! Seriously no chemistry, so contrived, fucking infuriating. I dont care if its canon I HATE IT!
# Gwen - stop forcing me to love her, its seriously making me hate her. Urgh her innocence and "sweetness" makes my teeth rot.
# Arthurs regression - seriously did the last 3 or so episodes of season 1 just not happen?
# Morgana - is she even a character anymore? Seriously she had about 3 seconds of screen time. Urgh I hope all this Arthur/Gwen shit isn't going to replace Morgana scenes (and Morgana and Gwen interactions). I repeat: DO NOT WANT.

So yeah I'm excited about getting more Merlin but overall I'm feeling uneasy about the direction this season is gonna take. Guess we'll wait and see. My friend who has been downloading it wont be coming home next weekend though so I probably wont get another ep for 2 weeks :(

Aaaanyway my new obsession: Torchwood. Seriously I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Gah. I can't even describe how much I'm enjoying it. I'm almost finishing watching season 2. Although what is with characters named Gwen getting in the way of the gay? Seriously are all Gwen's dirty whores? Haha, ok wont get on a rant about how much I hate Gwen Cooper because I might not stop.

My other new obsession: Glee. Seriously check it out!

Just occured to me that its 8 sleeps until I'm 21... o_o

None because I'm pretty sure being undead isn't as glamorous as popular culture makes it out to be.

Oh and Edward Cullen is not a vampire. He is a sociopathic peadophile stalker who sparkles in the sun and just happens to have fangs.

I'd wish my dog was still alive :'(

So clearly its been ages since I've posted. This is mostly due to the fact that I am now back to crappy dial up internet and thus this page took about 5 minutes to load. It makes for doing anything on lj (or the internet in general) a really painful experience! Just to let you my wonderful lj peeps know I am always reading your entries and leaving comments...in my head haha. Telepathic comments if you will, sorry but its takes so much time to load lol.

Anyway everything has been pretty shit lately, the main reason for this is that recently we had to put my dog down =( Long story but basically he developed a disc protrusion in his spine which caused him to quickly deteriorate over a matter of days to the point where he could not move his back legs and had no control over his bladder or bowels. It was really difficult to cope with because he is only 5 years old; not an old dog at all. The vet gave us valium and pain killers for him and we coped with him for a week or 2 like that but it was really stressful; I wasn't getting any sleep because I was sleeping beside him each night to make sure I could help him if he needed his nappy changed or in case he fell off his cushion. My family was very stressed and it was really upsetting because he was usually such an active happy dog. Unfortunately the vet said that he had such a severe case that even if we did surgery there was no guarantee it would work, and it was going to cost around $5000 for an operation which didn't have a guarantee of working. So we had to make the hard decision to put him down. Its been really hard without him, I'm an only child so he became like a little brother to me. Pippin was so close to all of us (he was an indoors dog) and was so much a part of our routine. Life just feels so empty without him. He was my best friend, as cliched as that sounds, but if everything else in my life was shit, Pip was always there to make you feel like it was worth it. I just feel I was cheated out of time with him because as I said he was by no means an old dog at all, I expected he'd be around for a lot longer. I always said it would kill me if he died, and I was right, this is killing me.

I just want my Pippin back =( rest in peace my little man...

Just a quick entry to say sorry I have not been commenting on your journal entries lately, but I've actually been without internet for quite a while now. Do not even get me started on how much I hate Telstra and the internet services in this country!! I'll save that rant for another entry though.

Hopefully I'll get back into this soon, but I unfortunatly now have to put up with dial up speeds which actually makes doing anything on the internet a particularly painful process.
Anyways thought I'd give you a heads up in case anyone thought I'd died or something lol.

Gravitystar: omg thank god you're back on lj!! I'm really looking forward to reading ur entries again :)

( So I saw Twilight, Bernie made me go with her. Apparently it was brilliant. Apparently I wasn't watching the same movie she was. )</div>

Twilight is slowly swallowing my circle of friends! Firstly it was just Penney who liked it but that didn't really bother me, in fact it was kind of satisfying because she considers herself a good writer and whatever and yet she likes Twilight, the idiot. However now my bestie has become obsessed (even though I warned her of its crapness) and she wants me to be obsessed also!! She says she hasn't been this obsessed about something since Harry Potter, FUCK! So she is dragging me along to the movie tonight; MAY THE GODS HELP ME! Anyone have any advice on how I can survive this? I'm thinking I might be able to get out of it by saying "I should read the book first", which I do need to do so my bitching can be valid. But I picked up a copy of it in a bookstore once and read the first couple of pages and was like *snore*. Anyway she thinks its brilliant and thinks that I will love it, omg no! I cant! Although I'm slightly scared I may secretly end up liking it, noooooooooooooooooooooooo. The only reason I think this is because she is holding it such high esteem, but I am hoping I keep my senses lol.

Anyway I shall have to endure this movie tonight, wish me luck and any advice on surviving it is appreciated!

(let me know if I need to cut this if its taking up too much of your friends page)

Is it bad that I'm not answering my friends phone calls? Probably. But you know I just can't be bothered to have the same effing conversation with her again! Seriously I can tell you the format:

Pen: hows uni?
Me: oh alright, I just wish it was over already. Only one exam to go though! I had one today I really didnt study but I got a credit on my last assignment so as long as I pass the exam i should be fine, and-
Pen: oh yeah thats so like my subject, I got like all distinctions and high distinctions...except for that pass I got..but I only got that because the lecturer doesn't know what he is talking about.
Me: oh ok, fair enough...hows work?
Pen: oh yeah pretty crap, I hate my job, its hard (nb she works in a call centre and sits on her arse all day recieving customer help calls), I've been so tired and working like 6 and 8 hours days so I went to the doctor and told them i was sick so I got a doctors certificate so I'm taking the rest of the week off, because I deserve it.
Me: oh right...fair enough
Pen: so thought more about what you're doing next year?
Me: not really but we'll see what happens I guess, still considering tafe.
Pen: yeah well I think that would be good and nobody would think less of you because you dropped out of uni or anything.
Me: gee thanks...
Pen: yeah so bla bla bla, me, me, me, no I dont need your advice because I'm miss fucking independent, oh ok yeah I'll just tune out and only hear what I want to, bla bla bla, me, me, me. Got to go bye!

She is so fucking infuriating!!! She thinks she knows it all, and she never listens to our advice because she doesn't need it apparently. But the truth is she has no fucking idea about anything! RARGH!!!!!!

In short she pisses me off, I'm sick of her shit and thats why I'm not answering her calls.

did I mention that she and her bf turned up an hour late to my birthday dinner the other month? yeah and what was her response when she got there "sorry I thought the invite said 7", yeah well then why did you turn up at quarter to 8? funny nobody else managed to misread the invite  >:[

Ok so its been a while since I've posted, my bad. Really its because I've been trying to make some big decisions and I stop myself from writing journal entries about them because that makes it more real. Basically I think I'm about 80% sure I wont be coming back to uni next year. I really enjoy studying ancient history but after being here a year I thought I'd figure out what I want to do at the end of my degree but I still dont have any idea. Its not like ancient history is a very broad feild either; I can either be a teacher (which I certainly don't want to do), go into museum work which is what I was looking at doing but I did a bit of research and apparently its hard to get and shit pay so I dont think thats a practical option, the only other option is to stay on at uni and be a grad student etc and well I definitely dont want to spend the rest of my life at uni writing essays, I hate doing that as it is. So I think the most practical solution is to stop wasting money up here and move back home. I've been looking at going to tafe and doing a course in tourism maybe. I really have no idea what I want to do with my life, I wish I would just figure it out. GRRRR

On a happier note, I have just discovered a new love!!! So I'd heard about this bbc show called Merlin, and I thought I'd check it out and I managed to track down the first 3 eps on the internet and watch them (it  hasnt actually screened in aust yet and netweork ten bought the rights to it and as they usually cock bbc shows up it probably wont last long, same thing happenned to torchwood unfortunately because the couple of eps of that I watched I really liked). Anyway I've only seen the first few eps but OMG SQUEEE!!! THE SLASHY GOODNESS!!!! I love it already!!!! Yay for all the slashy subtext between Merlin and Arthur. You know its very much like Xena except with guys as the leads not girls; bad cgi, lameness, gay subtext, historical inaccuracies/anachranisms, a gay following (only its guys not lesbians this time haha), actors who acknowledge the gayness...in short ITS FUCKING BRILLIANT!!!!! Although being exam time I picked a really bad time to get into this, I really should be studying...oh well.

Oh I realised I forgot to bitch about one rather important fact in my last post - HBP movie has been pushed back until July next year!! Wtf?! I have seriously had it with companies and major corporations treating their fans/paying customers like shit just because they want to generate more profit, are you listening EA Games? Anyway, I was already pissed of because Australia wasn't getting until Dec instead of Nov (which is wierd because if I remember correctly we've usually got it before the US) but now its gonna be like another 6 months later. The movies for me are such a love/hate thing though; on one hand I love them and get all excited waiting for them because they are something Harry Potter (keeping the legacy alive somewhat) but on he other hand they make me so angry because they completely butcher the books(I'm specifically thinking of OotP where my favourite chapter was reduced to about 10 seconds - Snapes' Worst Memory). I'm already pissed off about so many things I've heard/seen regarding HBP. The fact that they've but in a completely new scene (Ginny and Harry at the burrow having a moment when they almost kiss only to be interrupted by Death Eaters attacking - wtf?!) annoys me hugely because time wasted on that sorta shit could be actually used to put in something that ACTUALLY HAPPENS IN THE BOOKS! The things that irks me the most about the movies are the little details, because for me its those little things that make the books so awesome. Like why the fuck is Narcissa's hair BROWN and blonde?! Probably so the audience members who dont read the books can put it together that her and Bellatrix are related...RARGH!!!!
Anyway unfortunately they decided to include the R/T storyline, I've seen pictures of her with her brown hair gazing longily at Remus. Nevermind all that gay subtext fro PoA movie (apparently the director and David Thewlis thought Remus was gay), the whole "this heart Remus" stuff was about the only good stuff from there. Aaaanyway now is not the time to bitch about R/T. I just needed to vent my anger about HBP movie.

Ok so once again its been a while since I last posted...and I certainly shouldn't be posting this now as I should 1) be in bed or 2) writing the report thats due by 9am tomorrow...can anybody spell procrastination? *heavy sigh*

Weelll whats been happenning lately? I can't even remember, my friend nearly broke up with her bf about a week ago which was slightly crazy as they never have reltionship issues. So I spent about 3 hrs on the phone telling my friend that she actually was worth something and that her bf was being an illogical prat. They are still together but are on somewhat rocky ground, it would be rather awkward if they did break up as I'm friends with both of them as are all my friends. Although they are both irratating me right now so *shrug*

In other relationship type news my friend Ash was like "omg are you fooling around with Nerida(my ex who is now just my friend) again?" and I was like "wtfbbq?", apparently his friends fiances's friends (lol) had said that they heard we were like hooking up recently. Dont ask me how that even came about because for one thing I've seen Nerida face to face about once in the last 8 months, hardly any people knew about our relationship, and for another she has got a bf...although now that I think abot it that second reason isnt really valid as she screwed around with me (and my feelings) while she had bfs. Oh that makes me sound all cool and naughty but really it wasn't as cool as I'm making out; we were like 16. Only conclusion is that my friend Penney (the one previously mentioned with the bf issues) has been blabbing again >:( previously she told people that I was gay and had been with Nerida which I don't really care about the fact that people know but its like my business to tell them right? But she was all "oh sorry I told her but I figured you were pretty much out now so it didnt matter" yuh...

Anyway I've really got back into Kingdom Hearts again recently, and really in my opinion there is quite a bit of gay subtext in the whole series

Went to Sydney this weekend with mum, we just went up on Saturday stayed the night and then came home today. We went up to see the So You Think You Can Dance top 10 tour thingy. It was really really good, I enjoyed it a lot. We saw that in the afternoon and then we ment to the movies and saw Mamma Mia and it was so good! I was a little anxious about seeing it because I really loved the musical but it was really really good. I was blown away by some of the singing (Pierce Brosnan not so much) and I 'squeed' a little at the man love at the end (I wont spoil it for those who haven't seen it) =) and well Colin Firth gets all wet and takes his shirt off at the end, takes me back to Pride and Prejudice you know, where he is coming out of the lake with his white shirt and its all wet..and he's all wet. Yeah there is something about Colin Firth; he definitely goes on my "I'm a lesbian but am attracted to..." list haha. Anyway anybody thinking of seeing Mamma Mia should definitely go see it!

I saw Hancock the other night too, I really enjoyed it too. It turned out a lot different then I expected; I went in there thinking it would be an action/comedy type thing, as the trailer implies, but it turned out to have a lot more 'drama' in it then I was expecting; bit sad in some bits and had a sorta of twist thing. The "bromance" between Hancock and Ray (Jason Bateman) is totally adorable!!

Yay! Oh and next weekend, I'm off to sydney again (though I'm going up and back in the one night) to see The Dark Knight at the IMAX theatre woohoo, I'm so excited for this film, I hope its gonna be as awesome as I'm expecting :)

Anyway I think I've blabbed enough :)

Feeling very homesick right now. Mainly because I know that over the next couple of days/weeks I'll be in a lot of situations that will be way out of my comfort zone, and I'm not even talking about going to classes and stuff like that I'm actually looking forward to that and I'm only a little nervous about getting back into the swing of studying. Its just that all my housemates (except the one that I never see because well I never see him) are really into going out and I know, I know; what was I expecting living on campus but still I was hoping for at least one person in here who was a litle like me. Its not that there is anything wrong with people who want to go out to clubs and bars and shit its just that I'm not one of those people. The thing is though if I don't go out they'll think I'm rude and antisocial and I wont make any friends that way. I don't mind going out every now and then but not every week, besides its FUCKING expensive and I've still got to buy all my textbooks and such and I haven't found a job yet so I need to start being really tight. I wouldn't care so much if my housemates wanted to invite people over here for a party because at least that requires no money spnt on my behalf but when you go out you have to spend money on drinks. Once uni starts at least I'll have the 'I need to study' excuse so thankfully thats next week but still everybody expects you to want to party heaps your first year. I know you're meant to "enjoy campus life" and all but I am here to study and my parents are paying money for me to live here and I dont want to waste there money by not doing the best I can at uni. I'm so worried about making friends, I fear I wont actually make any really good friends just casual friends like my housemates who are ok for company but dont actually share any of the same interests. This whole thing is just giving me a bad feeling in the tummy, I actually started crying earlier when I was on the phone to my parents. Right now I just really want to go home. 

edit: no offense meant to people who like to party/go out; its just not my cup of tea :)

Happy Birthday Renee O'Connor! Yay!

And Happy belated Berfday to Simon Pegg (whose bday was yesterday) double yay!

Yeah my life is boring nothing else to tell...

Hmmmm ok a bit has happenned since the last entry. For one thing I've moved onto uni campus, which is a big step I guess. I miss home and my parents heaps and my dog. I got to go home and see them last weekend though so that was alright, luckily being in sydney I'm only 3 hrs away from home. If I had to have gone to newcastle I would have been like 6 hours away and I'd see them a lot less then I will be. Still its weird to think that I've moved out of home. Don't like to think about it too much though makes me feel anxious and old. I'll be fucking 20 years old this year; WTF?! That sounds way too mature for me. Anyway back on subject...there is only me and 2 other guys in the unit so far, one guy Ryan has been in the same unit for a year he is pretty nice but isn't here much. The other guy moved in about a week before I did and well I think its a bit of a cultural barrier with him. He isn't here much either though so its a bit lonely atm. Hopefully a few more people will be moving in once it gets closer to uni starting. The maintanance lady came in to check one of the spare rooms today and I asked her if somebody was moving in or something and she said she thought there would be somebody over the weekend or on Monday so fingers crossed its a gil, and somebody I can get along with!

So I officially enrolled in uni last week and registered in all my classes, they are as follows: 1) Greek Heroes and Heroines, 2)Rome: From Republic to Empire, 3)Egyptian Archaeology: An Introduction, and 4)Australian and Global Societies. Thats for semester 1 any way, I chose my 2nd semester subject too but they may change if I can do more ancient subjects but as of now there are only so many i can do in the first yr. So therefore my 2nd semester subject are Myth in the Ancient World, Antiquity's Heirs, Identity and Difference and Computer Games lol

Anyway I'm slightly worried about making friends, hopefully it will happen once there are a few more ppl around and once I start going to my classes and stuff but it still worries me. Don't wanna go through uni being a sad loner :( It would be awesome if a really nice girl moved in and we became really good friends...I can dream right?

Ok I think I've rambled enough...

Ok so I'm posting now. I haven't posted anythin in AGES but I come on lj pretty much everyday lol, just lazy I guess! Anyway, got some good news; I got into Macquarie Uni!!!! Yay!!!! I got into the B Arts course which is better than I was thinking(I had applied for that last year but didn't have a hight enough mark and didn't get in). I mean ultimately I wanted the B Ancient History but I didnt have a high enough UAI for that but this way I can major in Ancient. Also if I do well enough I can always transfer into that after a year. Yeah so I'm pretty stoked :D :D :D However all the enrolment shit is so confusing; all this stuff about credit points and argh they really dont make it easy for people who haven't ever been to uni before!

So we're putting everything together and getting ready because I'll be moving up on the 2nd of Febuary, I'm really nervous about it and I dont wanna leave home! I'm gonna miss my mum and my dad so much, and Pippin! Mum is really worried about how dad is gonna handle it too which makes my heart hurt! Well, hopefully it will all be alright. Anyway, thats the news. :D :D :D
