MY COMPUTER ARRIVED WOOT! Now I could defenestrate my old computer if I wanted HAH :DDD

dansu!!

aah! :D:DDD

I thought I'd be trendy for a change and update my Lj. Oooooooh!

( I Like To Copy Samantha )
... Well that was wierd. I have 1908 songs in my computer so there's a very wide range for it to choose from. >_>

Ugh enough procrastination. I have a meeting to go to.

Word of the Day for Thursday October 20, 2005: tocsin: a warning.

After thought I've decided it might be wierd that my obsession song at the moment is Into My Arms. Seeing as I have a non-religious lifestyle and (what would you call it?) life theory, and it's basically constructed as a prayer.

I watched the UQ rendition of The Vagina Monolouges last night. Hannah is in it. She was good!
It was good. Far better than reading the book. I'm really glad I read it before seeing it though, and glad I saw it before I have to film it.
Jemma and I are filming tomorrow night's performance. It's enjoyable.

Lately I've been feeling dizzy and nauseous, which for me are often a tocsin (hehehhe) of an iron deficiency. So before I go to the doctor, I've been reading up on healthy eating and if I need to take any supplements.
I was so (horribly) amused by one part of a very good page for vegans:

"...More details on iodine from the UK Vegan Society. An excerpt:

...Iodine deficiency during pregnancy and early infancy can result in cretinism (irreversible mental retardation and severe motor impairments).... Hypothyroidism can manifest as low energy levels, dry or scaly or yellowish skin, tingling and numbness in extremities, weight gain, forgetfulness, personality changes, depression, anaemia, and prolonged and heavy periods in women...
..."

I know it's awful but I just laughed so hard at that. I didn't know there was such a disorder as cretinism! That makes it all un P C (or whatever it is now) to call someone a cretin. It's like using "homo" as an insult.
But... Hahahahhah!

Also I'm glad I don't have scaly or yellowish skin, poor cretins. It'd look wierd seeing as how I'm normally all white and red lookin.

Sally at uni uses funny insults. She says gay a lot (meaning bad). Which is wierd as she says she has lesbian friends too who should hook up with my lesbian friends only they're all going out with each other (like mine were also? wth?). Anyway wouldn't they be a bit offended?
I bust out laughing every time she says it, even when I try to be serious and ignore it. It just sounds so funny, like she's suddenly reverted to being a little grade-two boy talking about the unpopular kid. Aaaw.

Also today I accidentally told Paloma I loved her??? I think it was because I was saying something about Hannah & her play, and then when I said bye to Paloma I was still in Hannah-mode. Or maybe I really do love her. Hmmmph.

Neil Gaiman certainly does have a way with words. *fans self.

Yay what a successfully procrastinating post! I think that's enough now Helen. Back to just you and Almodovar. Woot.

someone at work found out I was into cross-dressing and I think that's why I got fired :-(.

I am so listless! it's so not fair that I have Wednesday off but nobody wants to do anything :-(. I'll just sit home alone and eat.


O I am so busy at the moment. I just realised TODAY that it's week TWELVE and not week ELEVEN of the uni term. That means next week is week THIRTEEN and all my assignments are due!
Katherine has banned me from being on the computer after 1030 (you can hear it through the whole house). Her reasoning is that if I'm not here ALL THE TIME then I must be Under Teh Thumb when I am.
Aaar, I may have to resort to doing muchos homework at Crotty where I can stay up as late as I want?
That's it, no Saturday night entertainment for me. Just me and some
"16. What case would you make for Alfred Hitchcock as an auteur? Does framing Hitchcock in this way help or hinder our understanding of the films he directed?"
or maybe some
"19. ‘The psychiatrist at the end of Psycho explains everything.’ Discuss."
or even better,
"20. What do you understand by the terms ‘scopophilia’ and ‘scopophobia’? Are these terms useful in understanding our experience of Hitchcock’s movies?"

FAR OUT
It's really much much worse than year 11 FTV. I will do the "11. Allinson states that Pedro Almodóvar has a ‘unique personal style’ when it comes to the use of colour; discuss the use of colour in Live Flesh." question. Ugh.

I hate this so much!


A trojan was on my computer when I came home... Oliver had been downloading "hacking" programs.
I am just having a bad technology day. Out of the three computers I've tried to work on, none of them have been affable. I think I screwed up Cassio's dad's laptop somehow :( Just by trying to turn it on.

AAAAAAAAAARH.

What sucks is that Why does jshulman keep posting images in their journal?! I keep telling them I'm on a modem! I'm going to unfriend them to teach them a lesson!!!!!!!!!!

And also I am totally going to ban jackgable from commenting in my LJ for what they said about scarlet_arts and thegoldfishpool!!!!

Oh and I am so going to kick liquidtwitch out of the house. They got totally drunk the other day and barfed all over the carpet!


Yesterday I heard the grownup, "real life" version of "Ur totly off my freinds list biatchh!!1@!!!!", it was cool. A woman at the IBM Building coffee cart above Central station was all like "That's it (insert IBM male-drone name), you're totally off my Christmas card list!!!11!!!", and he was like "Heh Heh that's the 13th time you've said that ;) ;)". It was wierd.

In other news, grown ups are wierd. It's really embarrasing being near some when they're trying to flirt. Ugh.

That said, I've been trying a new "look" lately. (BWAHHAHAHAH). It's know as the not-14-years-old look. It may be working, I can't tell yet. My freinsd telled me i look liek totly hot but idk, i thikn there lying 2 get all teh guys!!?? wtf!!!!!


Does anyone like Nick Cave? Should I get some of him/that? ...Need music reccomendations!!

everybody has asked why I'm leaving the trekkie fandom but the answer is simple: Some of you know who you are and why I'm leaving FOREVAR.

+ Romeo And Juliet by Dire Straits
+ True Love Needs No Traces cover by Dead Famous People
+ Leonard Cohen, any Leonard Cohen

+ The Emo Song (stab your ribs stab stab)
I write in a livejournal and wear thick black glasses!/ I tell my friends I bleed black and cry during classes!/

+ bathroom renovations finally starting! Yay for new stuff

- Teacher somehow LOSING my assignment and me not getting marks back after like a month of waiting?
- being in the city
- nobody calling me EVOR lately ;....(

+ combination of shirt skirt / hot weather (this one is weird. a man LOOKED at my LEGS today. OMGWTF?? he was a grown up and stuff and totally obvious? i'm not used to being so naked. but + nonetheless for breeziness.)

Things to do short list:
* make Two Seasons reservation
* get friends to think of a cool Date to go on
* do small assignment + everything else
* return key to uni in exchange for ID card (totally forgot)
* apply for bursary
* find out some new cool music
* get fit ( HA HA )
* rid world of Internet Explorer and enforce everything to firefox's standards, bah.
* possibly become underwear-ist and go on underwear crusade and convert people who are hot but not toooo hot and thus intimidating.
yup.

There's probably so much more, ugh.


I don't know diary./ Sometimes I think that you're the only one that gets me./ You're my best friend. / / I feel like tacos./

I rarely like love-songs but Leonard Cohen writes amazingly. Also he has a lot of guitar.
<3

Sometimes I wish I was around when all these things were being created.

The other night I had a dream about a house, then for some reason when I started doodling the next day I was able to draw it with detail and (almost) perspective. I'm not usually able to draw much at all.
I know it sounds stupid but I've got the mental image stuck in my head and for some reason it's freaking me out.

Has anyone I know lived here, or something? It's a mystery to me.



It also has a garden that I can see very clearly, but I didn't put that in. And a garden path, a white fence with a hedge on the outside and a tree.
The middle roof at the front is hexagonal, which leads me to believe I'm making it up. I've never seen a hexagonal roof really! There's more house at the back but it didn't fit in the picture. (that's because of Perspective!)
Mm.


Today I went for a bike ride with Pete in Chapel Hill. It was surprisingly downhill most of the way.
Then we went for a swim in Oytun's pool which was lovely. He has a very good pool and also he gave us chips. Woot.
Now I'm officially procrastinating doing my assigment. Ugh.

What sucks is that someone at work found out I was into punk bands and I think that's why I got fired :-(.

Oh and the other day was my birthday and nobody noticed or gave me presents or wished me happy birthday :-(.

Oh yeah. it's so not fair that I have this morning off but nobody wants to do anything :-(. I'll just sit home alone and brood listening to "The Wall".

I may make a habit of this - generated drama is way more interesting to me than my real life.
Wish I was at the beach.


From thegoldfishpool: Google your name with the word 'needs' after and find the first 10 decent things 'you' need.

1. think Helen needs to do more studying or she … her exams: a. willn't pass. b. won't pass. c. will not to pass. d. won't to pass
2. Helen needs to change her life and quickly.
3. Helen needs to grow original plot.
4. helen needs a haircut
5. Helen needs to make a feature length film for widespread distribution
6. Helen needs your immediate attention. Helen has a very severe cough and appears to be coughing up a little blood.
7. Because Helen needs to live her life "off the books," she can only take crummy jobs from the sort of slightly-shady employers who pay in cash.
8. Helen needs you more than ever. Have you had anything to eat? ... Helen needs a peaceful family. But I couldn’t come up to her expectation.
9. Helen needs the new owner at325 Crestwood Terrace to shut up a minute.
10. Helen needs to be an inside dog, with a family that will allow her to jump on couches, sleep in the bed and be basically underfoot all day.

++ HAH! :

I was supposed to get together with shifty_lynx Monday but I don't want to anymore. I'm so tired of seeing the same people.

Oh and that bitter old queen nutyo gone and said that I got caught talking to liquidtwitch and dissing on jshulman. And yeah. You might guess I don't give a flying f*** what they think anymore. I'm over that.

And also I gave everybody my wishlist of computer hardware for my birfday, but nobody bought me anything :-(.

Word Of The Day
deliquesce: to melt away or become liquid.


There are really only 5 weeks until the end of the Uni year. That is scary.

The real world has way too much monotony and getting too used to things and it's scary too.


Hannah you should call me.


The music I listen to probably doesn't help my state of mind. But I like the sound of it.

Do you / like coffee/

So...
I got a haircut, woo hoo.
It's short and stuff.

I am making a mixtape for jemma. It's fun and very synthy. :D

I am making a video game - it's an assignment. Samantha, you should be one of my testers if I finish it in time for testing. :D

This weekend has been long.

( Let's Play War: How Militarism is Marketed to Children )

Hm. This was an interesting article even if it's about the US... I always prefer to assume that whatever's going on there is going to happen here sooner rather than later.

At my uni the kids I hang out with are so oblivious. I was talking about politics the other day and one of them was trying to make me feel as though I didn't know anything and was wrong anyway. It would have been more effective if she'd actually known something herself.
Thinking about where Australia's going is so saddening. I want to be able to discuss it with someone without being so sad by the end of the conversation that I can't talk about it any more. I know that seems melodramatic but it all seems so awful.

So I have been feeling pretty ungood lately.

Good mood, eating, sleeping, sex, actually doing anything that requires concentration or effort - none of them seem to be fully functional.

Procrastination motor working well though :/

Any reccomendations apart from get more exercise / sleep ?



Uni is going along without my help. It seems so pointless. On average, I learn ONE THING a week. I'm paying fucking $2000+ a semester for this shit. ???
More and more often, the thing that I learn is something I could easily teach myself.
They set us assignments then don't teach us how to use the equiptment or software to get the results. Then we get marked down.

I am so sick of all this shit >:{

Shit man. I would so totally do Tom Waits even though he's old as my father. People with that much genius astound me. The instant emotional response I get from his music is a bit scary really, especially if it's on the radio or something and sneaks up on me.
http://www.lyricsstyle.com/r/rodstewart/tomtraubertsblueswaltzingmatilda.html You should get this song Alyce if you haven't already, it is wonderful.


In other news my touch typing is coming along nicely even though my mind is totally scattered and I have basically no recall of any facts to do with numbers. And there's so much maths in the test I have tomorrow :(

I saw a scooter I want to buy... Maybe instead of trying to move out I could just get a scooter (even though they're totally wrong for brisbane) and scoot around when I get frustrated. But first must learn to drive, yes.

(Meg is hawt)

Check out the filmclip for Blue Orchid and tell me what you think.
There's a link on this page (http://www.mp3.com/albums/20013013/summary.html), near the top of the page.
Ignore the brainwashing before the actual clip starts and all will be well.

Personally I love it. Was this the one you didn't really like, Hannah? I think it's great. I love biblical references, they're always fun. :)

(I'm not normally into Jack but he's hawt now too :DDD)

Warning: medium coarse language, slight exaggeration


Screw art theory! I'm going to sleep!

By my calculations, if this assignment is 1 day late it only brings my mark for the subject down by 1%! And I am convinced I'll more than recoup that 1% by having a sleep tonight.
Hah, take that system.



In other news, I am now a photoshop wizard :D

take off every zig

Oliver's friend Jack D sent him this website. ^ It's the best! The best song in history combined with the best meme evor! Wow.
Isn't it amazing what some people do with their spare time. I wish I had that option.

In other news I am going on a reading spree. I spend so much time on public transport at the moment I figured I could be all intellectual and read impressive books while I'm at it. So you guys should reccommend me some. At the moment I'm finally finishing Brave New World but that's not going to last me through dinner tonight much less till Wednesday. I'll be able to get Cassio's favourite book Evor off him on the weekend but I'll need something to sustain me in the meantime.

Samantha, did you get my sms? You still haven't sent me that cookie recipe :( Maybe you could post it in your livejournal ha ha.


( Ha ha ha. Alyce I'd have expected better from you! )

An excerpt from Kentucky state legislation: "No female shall appear in a bathing suit on any highway within this state unless she be escorted by at least two officers or unless she be armed with a club."

I happened to stumble across an interesting bit of the Neil Gaiman site, and took the time to read it. Quite aside from this man being incredible etc, it made me want to exercise my fiction muscles.

( Samantha and Alyce: Read. Anyone else welcome too. )

In other news, my hypertext essay is now officially an hour late and counting. Bah.

I am also cool! Even though I don't have photos of the formal or Woodford, I do have photos of something much more fun...
