Baby, That's The Way You Are
Trying a new shampoo/conditioner. My hair smells all hair-dresserish and feels... actually, pretty nice.
I missed my lecture today. I stupid. So very stupid.
Beta is so cute!!
Anyway, not a lot to report day-wise. I don't develop a social life until tomorrow. But I was recently informed that a. The house was indeed being sold, b. it wasn't being sold until summer and c. we'd probanly be moving either to this place in croydon or some other nearby hidey-hole. I've never liked the idea of Croydon much - I'm sure it's a nice neighborhood and all that... Just the old primary school gang wars. Yes, primary school gang wars. It was really quite ridiculous, but the year 4/5 class managed to turn the place into a veritable warzone - Croydon vs Woodville. Wierd.
I'm thinking of colouring this picture in reverse - Do the background first and then make the forground characters fit it.
I've been looking at some oriental patterns lately. I want to make a dress, or at least a top. I saw some gorgeous fabrics at DK that would make an uber top - Perhaps that'll be my project next holiday. That and the mask-making. And I've still got some paterial left over - I'm sure I'll find something to do with it though. I have this strange urge to make a fur suit. No yiff enabling though, thankyou very much. I think that's a bit beyond my tastes.
So many things I want to do... So little time to do them in. The fact I don't have a sewing machine also dampen things, as I'd have to spend time at Ledi's place to sew anything and appart from being unfair it's also somewhat dejecting.
HENRI!!!!
And now, the main attraction... Coca Cola Slogan's Throught the Ages!

All Natural Fresian Pony
My bloody site won't show up on the Uni's multimedia computer.
Rage.
Looking at cool stuff for class. Jai ^.^;;
Well, I got 1/2 an hour to kill before I can be picked up... What better way then to do it here! If I'd known the whole thing'd only take 1/2 an hour I'd have asked to go with Ri-chan or somesuch. Ah well. At least I got to see him today - I can't be ungrateful.
BAH! ! HATE MESSAGE SEERVICE!! MY PHONE PISSES ME OFF!! And why the hell did it think I was in new south wales? is that the default or something? ::snarlie:: Gay I hate it. I'll have to get rid of it, so that perhaps people will realise that I DO NOT WANT TO USE MY MESSENGER SERVICE! and that I would TURN IT OFFF if I could be arsed going through all the hastle involved. But at least this time I got the message recorded without throwing the phone at something. And I wasn't forced to choose from their 'Fun greetings!'. I feel sorry for that poor woman. But at least it's a paycheck.
Meanwhile, the movie thing below was fun. I suggest everyone tries it - Unles your ideas of fun are drastically diferent to mine, which I have no doubt they are. And I've got to have a shower and work on some stuff when I get home. But then I plan to go on da net and get started on poor Shetani's commission. I'm sorry dude - if it wern't one thing it was all of the others. But I will make it worth it to you ^_^ I also have to bug my other participant for his description, or it may never get done.
"There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted. "

Movie Madness
1. If your life were a movie, what would the title be?
"Life as a Mut."
2. What songs would be on the soundtrack?
'Popcorn' by Hot Butter, 'I don't believe any more' by Icehouse, 'Unwell' by Matchbox 20, 'One Perfect Day' by Little Heroes, 'Magic Carpet Ride' by Steppenwolf, 'What Is Love?' by Howard Jones', 'Clocks' by Coldplay, 'Skateaway' by Dire stratis, 'A good heart' by Feargal Sharkey, 'At seventeen' by Janis Ian, 'Fly Like An Eagle' by The Steve Miller Band, 'Bother' by Corey Taylor, 'Luv your Life' by Silverchair, 'Eleanor Rigby' by The Beatles, 'Drift Away' by The Dobie Brothers, 'ROCKARIA!' by Electric Light Orchestra, 'Somebody Else' by Bleu and... well, whatever else feels apropriate for that part of my life.
3. Would it be a live-action film or animated? Why?
Animated, definitely. My life would look that much better if it were animated. Probably with a fair few scenes done in a sort of sepia monochrome, for those parts of my life story that mainly involve sitting still for long periods of time, and some more vibrant colours for times when the movie disolves into Roleplaying. Besides - My life is better suited to the exadurated emotions of Animation.
4. Casting: who would play you, members of your family, friends, etc?
Well, since we're going to be animated, it's the voice actors that are important. And ya know what? We're gonna cast for actors who are GOOD VOICE-ACTORS and, more importantly, actually sound right. Hell, I may even voice myself ^_^.
5. Describe the movie preview/trailer.
A black screen comes up, with some moving, jittering rough-typed text that eventually solidifyes itself into 'I always wanted to be someone...'. Fade to an animated screen of a face staring out of the window of a bus that bounces along the road. The bus stops in the city as an alarm sounds from a nearby shop, and I (In my animated form) mush out of the doors of the bus, almost getting squished between them again. She wears a baggy jacket but, because I actually want to give people a REASON to come see this movie, I'm wearing a miniskirt and knee-high boots or somesuch. a light mist of rain falls as she walks off, folowed by a dog painted green leading a clown on rollerblades. Black screen again. The text jitters and eventually forms '...But I see now I should have been more specific about that.'
A few quick flashes of other unrelated parts of the movie as some of the violins form 'Eleanor Rigby' play in the background, and some of the actual interesting and/or heartwarming parts of my life get played. Okay, probably all. Pause for a moment - Silent shot of Myself and Some other characters sitting on a school bench. I pull out chocolate bar after chocolate bar out of my pocket. The other person just watches, shocked.
Go to title screen - letters jitter a litle more, before forming the movie title - 'Life as a Mut' (The OTHER kind of bitch).
Cut back to the bench - Other character (Probably Zoe) - "I have no Idea how you fit that many chocolate bars into your pocket." Another character (One of the Michelle's perhaps) - "I have no Idea where she puts it when she's eaten it!"
Cut to the 'In cinema's' screen.
And now, some lyrics...
Follow You Follow Me by Genesis
Stay with me,
My love I hope you'll always be
Right here by my side if ever I needed you
Oh my love
In your arms,
I feel so safe and so secure
Everyday is such a perfect day to spend
Alone with you
I will follow you will you follow me
All the days and nights that we know will be
I will stay with you will you stay with me
Just one single tear in each passing year
With the dark,
I see so very clearly now
All my fears are drifting by me so slowly now
Fading away
I can say
The night is long but you are there
Close at hand I'm better for the smile you give
And while I live
I will follow you will you follow me
All the days and nights that we know will be
I will stay with you will you stay with me
Just one single tear in each passing year there will be

It's Recess Everywhere
Trying out 'blogThis!' Wonder how it'll work...
Anyway, First day of semester two. My 10 o'clock tutorial wasn't on this morning - I got an email about it about an hour ago. It makes sence, but I could have stayed in bed much, much later. My next lesson that day was at 5. But that should be cool - I like the pople in my lecture.
I got a page of TBE penciled - my first in a while. I've been neglecting it horrendously. On the other hand, I'm spending more time with another human being, so it's probably good for me ^_^;;
Ya know, I was about to write something but I got interupted, and now I haev no idea what I was doing. But it was probably something along the lines of 'I love my lain costume - it's so comfy and warm to sleep in'.
Okay, that's enough. I've gotta look at some photoes and... stuff.

Shining Through The Rain
Uni starts again tomorrow. Yes I'm upset, as I'll no longer have as much time with Ri-chan, but... Hey, it had to happen.
Although apparently there is also a bus strike on tomorrow. Bonza hey? Thankfully mum doesn't start school until 1, so she can take me to Uni. Means I gotta be ready by quater-past 8 but that shouldn't be a problem.
So I'll be quick, as I should go in and sleep soon. It occures to me that lately I've been, if not acting ondly, then at least feeling strange. I'd like to apologise to anyone who'se been angry or upset with me lately. I really don't have any excuse more convinving then my own stupidity. I don't know why I feel so odd, so I think it's safe to say that chemical imbalances are to blame. And lets leave it there.
Anyway, that asside I'm going to head in to bed. Aww, no huggles tonight... Ah well, such is life :P

The Returning Zero
I'm back again. Last weekend was the AV-Con, and it was (Of course) a blast ^_^.
So now, I relate.
I cosplayed as Lain in her bear-PJ's first off. Liam went as Larva. He looked kinda scary, but I got to colour his hair blue and he looked all cute and sexy ^_^! We milled around a bit, had a look at the stalls, watched the DDR competitions and so on and such forth... I entered three pieces into the art competition - One of them was sold for about $10 (A fair price, I must say) and one of them was stolen believe it or not - To my knowledge, it was the only one who went missing. My theory is that the person I'd sold the Lain picture too thought the other was included in the price or somesuch, because it's dificult to imagine someone ballzy enough to take a picture off of the art board deciding to take mine.
That asside, we also watched some of the Anime's they were screaning (although I'd seen almost none, Liam had seen almost all of them so we wandered around instead). We were gonna see the Ah, My Goddess movie, but Ri-chan had to go do something so I said I'd meet him in the cinema. But when he came in he couldn't see me (I did wave and try to get his attention. I'm stupid though - I should have gone out to get him when he walked out rather then just sit around nd get upset. I'm stupid like that).
I left the movie early though to get to the quizz, since a couple of Liam's friends had invited us to sit on their table. They'd all gone down to get subways - I'm a stupid bitch for not remembering my phone, I know. Bad me, very bad me. On the way, Ledi had a go at me for ignoring her. I wanted to hit her for that, but I guess she's had a point. I do prefer to be with Liam then with her. But I'm affraid I'm under the impression that that's the way it's supposed to be - You hang around with people you like being with and who make you happy instead of those who don't. Ah well, I guess it's my own fault.
Anyway, the quizz - we more or less understood, implicitly, that we didn't have a hope in hell. But maybe - just maybe - there would be a wooden spoon prize. Besides, it's more fun to get the answers wrong in an ammusing fassion. So we got zero points. On the other hand, first prize was a sack full of strawberry pocky. So it all went well.
Day two involved less seperate ideas - there was the cosplay contest, which I stuffed up on but enjoyed anyway. I got a lot of photoes taken of me ^_^;; So all is good. There were sausages, and we watched a bit of Please Teacher and the like - We got to see a few eppisodes of .Hack and Earth Defender, and a few AMV's... There were some pretty good ones too ^_^ Then there was a J-rock band and Anime Kareoke (Before you ask, yes - Fly me to the moon did get sung. Of course it did :P) And Mowen got a sonic plushie that is, quite simply, the most gorgeous thing EVER!! If there had been a Tails or a Knickles... Jai! I would have so wanted that ^_^! And would have just been able to aford it too, with the money I got from the Lain pic.
Now, a moment of personal mussings before I get my sorry white arse to bed. It seems to me I've developed a nasty habit of getting upset over things I have, really, no right to be upset about. I won't get into too many examples, but I'm fully aware that if something can't be helped or, more importantly, if I didn't say anything about something then I have no right to be upset about it. So it's irritating that I always seem to get that way - over the most ridiculous things. In much the way that, if my automated response to the question 'are you alright' is 'yes' without actually stopping to think first, I have no right to wonder why people dont't notice that something's wrong. I usually manage to stop and berate myself for that most viciously. Really quite ridiculous - and I know that it's the sort of thing that can just nibble away at you untill it becomes a problem ten times bigger then it should be.
So why can I simply not speak?
Perhaps it's just because it seems to hurt less, if more constantly, tosay nothing then it does to try to talk. I know this is a condition that affects more then just me - But sometimes... I'm not sure. I know that when Ledi tells me what's wrong with her I feel sick to my stomach and want to hit her. But when Zoe tells me, I want to help her and give her what advice I can, or a hug or... whatever I suppose. So who an I to others? Am I a Ledi or a Zoe? Maybe a part of the hurt is that I dont' want to risk forcing so much of myself onto those around me that I become a Ledi.

Do you like making people laugh in real life, too?
Because you're certainly good at it! You write
funny, often short, sometimes slightly vulgar
fanfictions that tickle everyone's funnybones.
Your fics give people the mood boost they need
after a rough day. All right, so they're not
terribly intellectual, and sometimes they're
kind of OOC, but who cares? They're fun for you
to write and fun for other people to read.
That's what's most important, isn't it? You're
probably a lot of fun to have around.

Sing Sing Sing
I'm back - I've been at Liams again. What, I like being there? So shoot me. My haircut got a five-for-five rating ^_^;;
Anyway, Liam and I had dinner with my father, stepmother and brother at the Astor yesterday. It was a challenge, but I managed to finish my entire meal. It was looking pretty grim there for a while - I thought I might stop breathing from the pressure of my stomach on my diaphram - but I eventually ate the whole hamburger. My side of fries, however, could not be finished. Catching up with dad was cool, and he finally got to meet Liam. It's a big step.
I remember, back in my days at high school (Okay, so it was under a year ago - it has more impact when I say it that way), Some of us were grilling a friend on her and her long-time boyfriend. One of us - I can't remember who, it may even have been me - asked her how far they'd gone. She replied, without hesitating, "He knows my mother." Come to think of it, it wasn't me that asked, because I remember someone wondering out-loud what kind of an answer that was. I just remember thinking 'wow - that's heavy man.'
I suppose when you're 17 it is ::shrug::
Anyway, having the girls over tomorrow. Zoe and Lauren should be good, but I'm rather expecting Ledi to be a complete drag and her usual mass of depressive energy-sucking mopingness. I think she's getting far to attached to Todd in a way that, as he's already chewed through my circle of friends, is strange and disturbing. She's only keeping him around so that she's not alone, sure - and I'm rather glad for that, as it takes some of that burden off of me, leaving me free to... well, Liam more at the moment, but later possibly even some other friends or... well something. I'll be with her for the next two days though. Pray for my soul - I will require all your aid to survive.
Big Brother on DVD - oh-so wrong on oh-so many levels.
I'm gonna head in and get some chocolate. I'm then going to finish the specifics of this layout and head inside to make a salad for tomorrow when the girls arrive. But before that, I am going to post this.

Ticking Clocks
I got my hair cut today. Yay me! It's all short and stuff now. The hair went everywhere - there was a huge pile of it on the floor, in my lap - and then in my lap again when it didn't all come off with the smock thingie.
Also picked up some new shoes. There was a sale on - scored a pair of joggers and some knee-high lace-up boots for about $60. Which isn't too bad, all things concidered.
I've been spoiled. Bad washi.
Okay, I'm gonna say that's enough. I had more to write, but I've forgotten. As I am want to do. Bai.

I didn't fall asleep untill 7am yesterday. Seven-a-frekin-m. And I went in to go to sleep around 3. I couldn't face my bed though. I need to get more blankets - it's so frikkin cold it's not funny. I was awoken by my own shivering. And later by the dog licking me. Then again later still by the dog. And again, a bit later, bu my mum returning home. I liked having the dog on my bed though - she was at least warm.
I think I'll work on the computer for a while longer, and then I'll head inside and get some hand-drawn work done. Doesn't look like Liam's coming on tonight - I think he's busy in any case. Ah well, fair enough.
I want sweet foods.
I have a sore throat again. I woke up with it. It might be going from being toasty warm to being cold. It might be a repeat bug. It might be too many late nights. It might be the fact that I was singing. It may be all of the above. I should probably leave that there. I'm a moron. I must be eliminated. As soon as possible. Thankyou.

I am Lazarus, come back from the dead
I'm aware it's been over a week since my last post. There is a reason. I've been at Liam's place since two Wednesdays ago, and just got back today. Now I'm all alone again ::sniff:: Oh boo hoo. I know, I'm pathetic. So sheet me.
So, what was I up to? Well, exams until last wednesday. But now they are over, and I can get to work in ernest. Except that seem to have lost my ability to draw, as happens when I actually have time to do so. I hate me. been staying up ungodly late recently - ah well. I suppose it's my own fault for wanting too much ^_^; Repeat previous hate sentiment. But asside from exams and a few games, nothing phenominal occured. Except, of course, mum finally got a new car. It has a horse on the side. I'll tell you all no more then that :Þ
On a rather extreme tangent, I've found what might be some of the prettyest dildo's ever. I recieved some spam (As I always do) that wasn't a porn site or some magical financial solution (which is rather rare, unless it's an 'enlarge your penis' site). It was still fairly typical spam material, but it was a glass dildo site. Being the curious person I am, I gave it a look. It occured to me that a couple of the less ornate ones would make some real pretty phallic symbols for the aproaching spring celebration on the first, like a technicoloured dichoric-wrapped one. Hell, there was one in there that looked alarmingly like a wand I'd seen on a site once, only... well, see-through. and one looked like it had a bow-tie ::chuckle::.
Okay, current sites asside, I really, REALLY need to update my site. I have a little bit I can update with, and I thought I had more... maybe I do and just can't find it.
Ah well. Better hop to it.
I can't be stuffed opening my quotes file, so this is the end. Unsattisfied? Yeah, I have that effect I've noticed :Þ
