Two of my friends reassured me that the vegetarian was joking, which is not always obvious with her (especially through email). Okay. Deep breaths, Girly. Just. Joking. Deep. Breathing. Honestly, one day, I will either have a brain explosion or a brain implosion (probably explosion ‘cos I suspect my brain will just increase in pressure until it just goes “BOOOM!!!!!!!!”) and I will have to be spoonfed for a week.

My friends are strange. Okay, for study, if you want to work with someone else and if you want to work anywhere other than your allocated study room, you have to get the teacher of the subject you want to work on to write a note saying that they give their permission and show it to the head of the study room at the beginning of your study period. The other day, two of my friends wanted to work on Physics in the library (let us call them “Kate” and “Amy”. Lucky for them, their physics teacher was on lunch duty. However, although he had a pen, he didn’t have any paper to write the note. What did he have? A banana peel. So he wrote the note on a banana peel. There was discussion on whether to photocopy the “note” (“You can’t photocopy a banana peel, guys!” came one response). However, Amy and another friend went away for a little bit. So we were sitting talking when one of my friends (who I will call Tanya) said to Kate pointing over Kate’s shoulder “Look!”. Kate did. Tanya stole banana peel and ran over to the bin. Friend held banana peel over the bin.

Kate: No, Tanya, please don’t do that.

Physics teacher: Do it, Tanya, do it.

Tanya did. I had tears of laughter. Physics teacher had to explain to IT teacher who was standing with him why Kate was so distressed at the fact that Tanya threw a banana peel in the bin. So when Amy and friend came Back, I went to Amy and said “Tanya threw your note in the bin”. Friend thought it was funny, but noy Amy.

And this morning, a fight broke out. This I have to explain. I always give one of the Twilight fans in my group all the Twilight posters and articles that are in my magazines (‘cos I like Twilight, but I’m not so obssessed that I want posters)  which always gives her pleasure (any she doesn’t want, someone else in the group always ends up wanting, so they never get thrown out). Anyway, today, I brought them to school. This time, the magazine I got them from had pretty much all the male cast members shirtless. There is a Twihater in our group as well as Twihards. So it was interesting the stuff that was thrown around. There was debate over whether which (if any) were hot. The Twihater said she’s probably make out with Kristen Stewart before Robert Pattinson (which led to comments about swinging both ways). Seriously. All because I brought a few posters of shirtless guys to school.

For not being here. Well, two. One was schoolwork (of which I have a lot). The second is this thing. I don’t know if you’ve heard of it. It’s called SWINE FLU and I had it for a week. A WEEK!!!!!!!!! I think I got it off one of my friends who apparently was made to go to school while she had it. Anyway, I’ve been bedridden and I probably won’t be on for another week at minimum ‘cos I’ve got numerous assignments to work on, so before I go back and scare all my classmates (before informing them that I’m no longer contagious), I’ll write (or type, if you want to get anal about it) here for a little bit.

Okay, I really like this song by Cassie Davis called Do It Again. Trying to get my hands on it, but I don’t think it’s come out yet. Finally bought Prospekt’s March which, for those who haven’t heard of it, is the mini follow-up album to Viva la Vida  by Coldplay. If you enjoyed Viva la Vida, you’ll enjoy this album. The annoying thing was I bought VLV before they released it together with PM. However, I eventually found PM on its own.

Also, there’s an Australian author called James Maloney who wrote The Book of Lies  and Master of the Books. Well, he’s just released a third called The Book from Baden Dark and I’d like to read that. Also, if you’re a teenage girl and have heard of an author called Isabelle Merlin (her two books being Three Wishes and Pop Princess), her third book Cupid’s Arrow is due to come out. Janet Evanovich’s Finger Lickin’ Fifteen had me in hysterics when I read it. I also read one that I hadn’t read for ages. It’s called The Wishlist and it’s by Eoin Colfer (of Artemis Fowl fame). I remember, I got PD into this (back when she had a habit of reading the books I borrowed when I wasn’t there without my permission before I’d finished them) and she ended up getting it for her birthday.

David Tennant’s going to be grey-haired for the St Trinian’s sequel. Iron Man 2 is set for May 6 next year. An Aussie has a role in one of the Twilight movies. The girl playing Victoria in said movies (Rachelle Lefevre) has been replaced in Eclipse by Bryce Dallas Howard (The Village and SpiderMan 3). An ex-Home and Away star is the Marvel hero Thor. He is joining the cast for The Avengers  movie, which is rumoured to have Simon Pegg playing Ant-Man.

I know, a shameful effort on my part. Let’s see, what have you missed? Well, I’m sick. Apparently the last time the h1n1 virus was around, it became Spanish Influenza (yes, Twilight nuts, go ahead and squeal). I’ve been happily watching Heroes, addicted once again. Bones is good. Watching Thank God You’re Here on and off. I’ve heard two Muse songs (one due to the success of Twilight, one not), they being Time is Running out and Supermassive Blackhole. There’s a really cool song by Sia called Buttons that you guys should have a listen to. The trailers for the following are online:

New Moon

Doctor Who: Waters of Mars

Sherlock Holmes

A bunch of us went to Sizzler recently. One member of the group was dared to have a mixture of the following and did consume it:

• Soft serve ice cream
• Smarties
• Marshmallows
• Soft drink
• Salt and Pepper

Okay, I still haven’t seen Wolverine. It. Is. KILLING ME. Seriously, I’ve been looking forward to this for God knows how long.

Damn it, I want to get better. I keep sneezing and everything. Worst of all, my eyes are watering. One at a time.

There’s going to be a Doctor Who movie with David Tennant! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, the BBC are doing Hamlet with him and Patrick Stewart.

Okay, let’s try to make up for lost time, shall we? Firstly, I got sick with a virus containing practically every goddamn symptom possible RIGHT BEFORE EXAMS. So sorting that out = nightmare. Okay, I have seen the Boat that Rocked. It was a really good movie.

God, I’m so embarrassed. You see, my mum and I went into the city the other day and we grabbed some lunch. I had some pasta. I wandered around all day and I caught the train home with my Dad. When we got home and he hugged Mum. he went “Oh, you smell of garlic, too”. I responded with “WHAT??????????????????????“. I smelled a lot worse than Mum, though. PD came up to me after Dad mentioned the garlic (which I had been completely unaware of) and went “Whoa, you do, too”. Was setting up for a shower (where I would and did wash my hair) and PD and I were making jabs at each other when she threatened me with pain. I just got close to her and those threats went away as she attempted to escape my smell.  So if there’s one advantage to the affect garlic has, it’s that. But I got my top off, smelled it – PHWOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dad, I am so sorry you had to sit next to me on the train.

My mother was temporarily insane. It was raining recently and we had to hang out washing. It was raining. I got a bit wet. PD was telling Mum this so that I could get into dry clothes. What does Mum tell us to do? Get into clean clothes? Cover our kidneys? Nope; she told us to GET INTO OUR SWIMSUITS. So there I was in a bikini, hanging out washing as the cold wind directed itself at my midriff. Not really surprising that I got sick two days later.

Finally saw Transformers. Wouldn’t mind seeing the sequel. New Harry Potter trailer which looks awesome, but gives a lot away if you haven’t read the books.

Yes, I’ve finally got time to post. In my defence, school has just started and it’s important that I get my work done. I went to my swimming carnival. It was boiling. I was so sick that I had to be carried from the pool. I had to pause and then keep swimming. I, however, got cheered throughout the race (even though I was dead last, effort and persistence is considered to be more important than winning at my school) and afterwards has people say one of three things to me:

1. Good effort (or something along those lines)
2. How are you feeling?
3. Did you hear me cheering for you?

It was hours before I got the colour in my face again.

Okay, the movie I’m tracking right now is a little film called Coraline. Based on the book by Neil Gaiman (he wrote the novel of Stardust before it was turned into a movie. He’s also written other books such as American Gods),it’s a dark animation (directed by Henry Selick – yes, it’s darker than the Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride). It has the voices of Dakota Fanning, Teri Hatcher, John Hodgman (aka PC guy in the Mac ads), Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French. Probably not for kids under the age of ten.

Also watched a few DVDs in the past few weeks. They were:

• Soapdish (really funny)
• The Jurassic Park films (I like the character of Malcolm best, but probably the first fiml best)
• Good Will Hunting (if you haven’t seen it, it’s worth watching at least once)
• 21 (fairly good. Spacey is, once again, fantastic)

I’ll probably post more stuff soon.

By this, I mean reading my blog. I mean, a whole tonne of people read about the weird troll who was masquerading as an overprotective/controlling/damn annoying/creepy dad, but otherwise, no one bothers.

For wannabe actors who like either New Moon, Eclipse, Gossip Girl or other stuff, check out this website: http://acting411.blogspot.com/

I bitched about my most recent awkward/embarrassing moment on Imdb. Big mistake. I got asked if I was hot (my response being that I wasn’t ugly, but I wasn’t jaw-to-the-floor, either). After being told that there was nothing wrong with a decent looking girl incidentally flashing people (big difference between accidental flashing and being exposed). After this argument which went on, one user decides to annouce that the user I’m arguing with and yours truly is one and the same. BAH!!!!!!!! I’m not like some users; I don’t have more than one username and masquerade as two different people.

I finally saw the movie version of Twilight. If you liked the books, then you will most definitely like the movie. Thing was, it’s weird being stuck with a bunch of tweenie boppers/giggling teenage girls. Of course, there was cheering when Jacob and Edward first came on screen.

I probably haven’t mentioned them yet, but I’m looking forward to the X-Men: Origins movies. Yes, that’s right, movies. I know everyone knows about the Wolverine movie. BUT, oh yes, there’s a but, there’s another: there will be a Magneto one. There is no knowledge as to who is in the Magneto one, unfortunately, but info on both films (known info, that is) is on imdb). Whle we’re on the topic of X-Men, check this out:

Younger “X-Men” Film In The Works

Wed, 19 Nov 2008

The mutants just got younger. Twentieth Century Fox is prepping up a new “X-Men” film with younger mutants, with “Gossip Girl” creator Josh Schwartz tapped to pen the script.

“X-Men: First Class” will be produced by Lauren Shuler Donner, the producer of the first three mutant flicks – which starred Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, and Ian McKellen. “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” writer Simon Kinberg will also be producing.

Schwartz is expected to bring in a younger batch of superheroes in the series. The students at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning, who were introduced in the previous films in cameo roles, will likely be taking more active parts in the upcoming film.

The first three “X-Men” films earned .2 billion worldwide. (http://www.icelebz.com/movies/news/younger_x-men_film_in_the_works/)

 In more movie news, Robert Downey Jr is the latest actor to take on the role that is Sherlock Holmes, with Jude Law as Watson. God, there’s so much news in the way of movies right now.

Yes, hello again. Getting into Heroes and Bones right now, but seven are about to temporarily stop Bones again. That kinda sucks.

So, Twilight came out in the US and I’ve been hearing mixed reviews from the fanatics of the series. Of course, you get idiots everywhere. This has led to the Goddess website earning itself a particularly irritating troll using two usernames. Here is one of his posts:

I went to the local Barnes and Nobles to see if I could buy my daughter some books to educate and develop her brain. I was shocked to find the entire “Teen” section of Barnes and Nobles adorned with nothing but vampire novels. Not just “Twilight” related books, but books that have nothing to do with Twilight. Books that have a vampire theme to them. IT was rather sickening to see. From “Suck It Up” to “Blood and Chocolate” to some other oddly named piece of pervasive garbage after another I was in a whirlwind of terror as I realized that the next generation of children are being bred to become nothing more and nothing less than soulless vampires that like to drink other people’s blood.
Another thing that I found very disturbing was a group of teenage girls who were mocking the title “Suck It Up.” They were making hand gestures with their tongues, lips, and hands. They were talking really loud, upsetting patrons, and making obscene and rude comments using euphemisms for the word “suck” and it’s related sexual act. An act that I shall refrain from saying here.
Is this what our world has come to? Kids are turning into promiscuous, blood-sucking, deranged and immoral vampires, creatures of the night that stalk and pervert any and all aspects of purity that come before it?! As a father of a precious twelve-year-old jewel, Emily Rose, my daughter, I find it increasingly disturbing that there is a market available to quench the eternal blood thirst of teens for all things vampire related. What upsets me most is the multitude and the cavalcade of vampire related books available for kids to see. This is rather disturbing indeed. Indeed. In. Deed.

This person didn’t seem to realise that Blood and Chocolate is about werewolves. I looked it up.

And here is another under their original username (actually, their original post):

After a long day of studying her science books, I let my daughter out of her room so that she could catch up on some reading. She loves to read. I allowed her to read the “Twilight” novels, but after watching the sickening, gratuitous, and immoral movie, I decided not to let her read the novels. Instead, she transitioned into reading “Of Mice and Men” — but I did tear out the pages of the last chapter in which George shoots Lennie in the head. Anyways, she said she didn’t understand some of the symbolism and wanted to go on the internet to see sparknotes.com so that she could understand what the symbology meant. I let her do so. I knew that she wouldn’t go to any other mischievous sites such as this, mainly because she was using the family computer and not my laptop, because the family computer has state-of-the-art protection against filthy material. These programs that facilitate the blocking of such filthy websites are known as “blockers.”
Well, she was on the internet and I go to check on her and I see her watching clips from the movie “Twilight” on YouTube. I was furious. I pulled the phone cord out of the modem and told her to go to her room and read there. I followed her and sat in front of her, watching, watching like a hawk. I watched her, never blinking, and staring into her criss-crossing eyes as she rapidly read the first chapter of “Of Mice and Men” before her reading time was up. While watching my precious daughter, I was suddenly faced with the realization that filth is everywhere in our world. It’s not just relegated to the cinemas. I though I could have my precious jewel-of-a-daughter escape the bloodlust that is “Twilight” once out of the theater; I was wrong. I realized that the pervasive nature of “Twilight” can be found right in our homes thanks to the corruption of the internet and the mischievous website known as YouTube.
If my precious daughter wanted to go on YouTube and watch some videos, I wouldn’t mind. I just wish the videos were of a pure nature. I wish that she would watch something that was not immoral, was fun for everyone including the whole family, and contained light-hearted and wonderful poetic moments. Videos such as this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGN2L-56xbE
I just hope my daughter has learned her lesson. I thought she would be saved since I nearly dislocated her arm dragging her out of the theater yesterday, but I was wrong. She has already started a rebellious course of lying, deceit, and watching salacious material in real-life and on the internet. I just hope she is not beyond saving. I love you, Emily. My precious rose. My precious daughter. I’m here for you. Always. Let this letter on a public forum be a testament to my love for you. I love you Emily. Listen to daddy, for daddy knows best. You will thank me when you are older. Love you. *crying*

Everyone is almost certain that this person is a troll, also masquerading as “Emily” on the boards. And it’s pissing everyone off. Especially since someone found the story on copypasta . Let’s just hope that there will never be anyone this controlling that I know of.

All this excitement is sending me loopy. Okay. I thought I’d mentioned the fact that there will be a third Transporter movie, but I didn’t and I feel really annoyed now. Seriously, Frank is the coolest movie character ever. He really is the epitome of cool. But I mean, let’s face it; Jason Statham is awesome. There will also be a sequel to Crank. There is not only a third Twilight trailer, but a clip about a minute long set in the cafeteria/canteen/third-word-which-should-be-here-because-of-the-magic-three-but-isn’t-because-I-can’t-think-of-one .

Current searches:The insult dictionary how to be abusive in five languages,  The insult dictionary five languages,  dragon tgır, how to insult dictionary in 5 languages,  The Insult Dictionary,  i’m not cocky i’m confident (kind of like that quote from How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days). The last viewed posts: Brain Overload, The Insult Dictionary and Edits on Last Post. Seriously, I hit the jackpot with the Insult Dictionary. Not only does it provide me with entertainment, but it brings visitors to my blog, something which doesn’t always happen.

While I remember, it seems that everytime I come on here, I see that someone’s been searching for the Insult Dictionary or has been reading my lovely little post about the Insult Dictionary. Every single time. I get the fact that the idea s funny, but I honestly thought people would be sick of the phrases I selected and chucked onto this blog. Can someone explain how I managed to get visits just for this one post so that I am able to do this with something else?

You’re all probably wondering what’s brought on my concern. Well, let me start off by explaining things in full. We buy wafer biscuits which taste SUPERB. Really. However, Mum, PD and I are often the ones to eat these, Dad not getting much of a chance. He seemed a little frustrated, but I never thought it was that big a deal.

Apparently, it was.

You see, last night, before he opened the next pack (we had just consumed the last pack), he decided to write on the packet in permanent marker- I kid you not- “MY PRECIOUS”. So now you can understand why I might be a little bit.

I have FINALLY read Twilight. It was good. I have also read New Moon and will soon start Eclipse. My friends are proud of me.

Okay, this next bit is random, but has anyone here read Romeo and Juliet (or seen the movie or a play version)? If so, am I the only one who believes that Romeo is a git? Ha, I bet none of you were expecting me to say that. But I think he is. I’m not sure if he’s ever in love. I think he’s in love with the idea of being in love, and very melodramatic, but I don’t know. I just think he’s an idiot. I liked Much ado about Nothing more, just ‘cos it was funny and smart. Because seriously, if someone in real life was saying “I love her, even though I only met her a few days ago, I’ll top myself so that I can be with them”, I would be concerned. Who knows, I might even (very gently) tell them to get a grip. But maybe I’m alone in that opinion. Sorry, those opinions.
