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.

Yep, it’s doona weather, people. Okay, I saw the teaser trailer for Tom Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. I offically would like to se it now. I’ve also found out that Alan Rickman is the Caterpillar and Stephen Fry is the Cheshire Cat, for all wondering.

Bought the Hook Me Up album by the Veronicas. Sweet! Went out to an asian restaurant followed by a place speacialising in dessert. I had a thing with passonfruit shortbread, raspberries, passionfruit mousse, three different kinds of raspberry mousse (w/red wine, w/chocolate, w/basil). YUM!!!!!!!!!! Man, it was extravagant.

The other day, I saw a program called Dance Your Ass Off. My friend said she thought it was a skit at first. She tried to make me promise that I wouldn’t watch it again (because of the entertainment of the dancing, I didn’t).

Oh, did I mention how I stacked it up an escalator and took a chunk out of my knee? Well, it’s taking forever to heal. Seriously old.

Okay, for all readers, do not run up an escalator. I did so recently and I took a chunk out of my knee. It didn’t hurt too much, but I bled a lot. I had to be bandaged up by the train station manager. Yeah.

Okay, firstly, I have to comment on Michael Jackson’s death. I’m really disgusted by his dad. Every time that guy appeared on TV about his son’s death, he promoted his business. Yeah, this IS your son’s death, mate. Also, his plan if he got custody of Michael’s kids? A world tour. Yeah, isn’t that lovely?

Okay, I saw the recent Harry Potter film. I did enjoy it. There was one thing I was annoyed about (you’ll all probably know when you see it), but otherwise, it was good. It was funny. I wouldn’t take kids to see it, though (unless they handled Goblet of Fire).

Music: Just bought Paramore’s Riot album. It’s pretty good. Like the song Heavy Cross by the Gossip. Just found out about a song called Homecoming by Hey Monday (I think it’s too late to buy the single, though – bugger!!!!!).

Yay! I actually made it. Sorry I haven’t posted before now, but I’ve been travelling (hence why the parts of my feet which weren’t covered by my flats have – wait for it – tanned. Yes, considering I didn’t think I COULD tan, that is quite impressive). It was really nice. Warm.

I have just discovered that I am a Buffy fan. I saw two random episodes previously (one with everyone becoming their Halloween costumes and one where Buffy becomes a caveman), but I’ve now also seen the first two episodes and the one where everyone’s nightmares are coming true. I am now really into it.

Songs I’m currently checking out (which are fairly new):

1. Funhouse – Pink
2. Already Gone – Kelly Clarkson
3. Sweet Dreams – Beyonce
4. If Today was Your Last Day – Nickelback
5. New Divide – Linkin Park
6. Second Chance – Shinedown
7. Battlefield – Jordin Sparks

I saw Harry Potter 6. It’s funny and everything; I’m just a little annoyed because they left something out that I thought should have been in the film.

Fun for me today;I was running up the escalator at the train station and I feel. It only stung a little, but I had a bad feeling when my leg suddenly became wet. I pulled the leg of my jeans up and, yep, MAJOR bleeding (all over the inside of my jean leg. Yeah, that’ll be so much fun to get out). I went up to the ticket inspector (after showing my ticket) and asked if she had a band aid, lifting up the leg of my jeans. After a “Christ”, she called the station manager and directed me to where I could find him. They bandaged it up. It might have needed a stitch, but they can’t stitch it, it turns out, so it’s going to take forever to heal. I looked at it; I feel sick. I don’t want to look at it again.Man, I don’t feel good.

Okay, I saw Con Air. It. Rocked. My. Socks.

Ugh, major  headache and ulcers. Yeah, don’t you wish you were me.

So, they’ve announced the actress to be the 11th Doctor’s first companion. Interestingly enough, she’s only 21. This shall be interesting. I do feel sorry for Matt Smith. He has enormous shoes to fill (plus I’ve heard a few people say “It’s not that I think he’ll be a terrible Doctor. He just looks a little bit gay.”) by Tennant, who will be the one doing the Doctor Who movie (which, although I have seen Matt Smith in stuff and I’m reserving judgement about, Tennant is my Doctor).

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.

 In Bruges = depressing as Hell. I don’t get why it was classified as a comedy. Yes, it was black, but it was not comedic. I regret getting it out. Blazing Saddles, on the other hand, was interesting. I’ve got the song French Mistake stuck in my head. For those who don’t know, this was pretty much the first movie that was a spoof. It was created by (who else) Mel Brooks.

Lady GaGa is kind of crass. Liked her first single Just Dance; the lyrics were okay, but the music was great, even if the film clip was dubious. I didn’t mind the second single Poker Face until it was played more times than I’ve had hot meals. Third single Eh Eh (Nothing Else I can Say) was meh. And then I hear the fourth- Love Game. The music is great. But it contains the lyrics “I wanna take a ride on your disco stick”. I mean, seriously? No, right now, I like the song Waking up in Vegas by Katy Perry. For those who like a decent spoof, however, someone did a version of Poker Face called Butterface. As in “her body’s fantastic, but her face…”. Also, would it really kill her to wear pants and not leotards for once? I don’t normally bitch, but seriously, she probably has enough money to buy proper clothes. If she’s not careful, she’ll end up like Madonna: not bad music, but you’re put off by the muscles and everything. And the weird hair-bow thing is just that: weird.

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.

SO many assignments and exams  and I’m sick. With a virus. Oh joy. Wonderful timing. I’ve had about every possible symptom I could have. And it’s getting OLD. At least I could submit one of my assessments. It was Brecht stuff, which means I’m now picking up Brecht in movies such as Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Anyway, let’s see. Movie news. Emily Browning will be in a Zack Snyder film. Voyage of the Dawn Treader will be doing some filming in OZ in July.

Music: I have recently come across a pretty sexy song with a very “steamy” film clip. It’s by Ciara feat. Justin Timberlake and it’s called Love Sex Magic. This one is a good song, plus it’s getting publicity because of the film clip. It’ll sell.

I  haven’ been on a  while. Okay, before I get into the schronicles of my life, here’s some good stuff:

• Natasha Bedingfield’s NB album has two secret songs in the last track
• War, Inc is really good, but I can see why a lot of people didn’t like it; it was very biting
• Ditto Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Okay, what’s happened recently? Well, dear readers, I’ve been working my arse off in reference to assignments. Also, my group and I went to Baskin Robbins one rainy afternoon (it’s in a teeny shopping corner). It was fun; at one stage, two of my friends and I skipped across te road and back singing (the first time, we were singing Raindrops keep Falling on my Head, the second time, it was Eye of the Tiger). That was fun. I think you all know about the torturous swimming carnival. Um… oh, preparing for my formal (aka Prom). Who knew it was so hectic! Making appointments, buying various things. I’m looking for a dress this weekend, but I’ve got less than a month to find a partner. Yeah, this is me. I don’t really know any guys. My friend’s brother is at a camp that weekend. My friend said a friend of her partner would be happy to come, but then the guy asked if I was hot. She apparently said that I was one of the most attractive people she hangs out with, but she doesn’t want me to take someone to my formal who wants to go, but is wondering if I’m hot.

Photo day is coming up, as is the due date for a couple of assignments and payments. Yipee.

I’ll probably post more later; I just can’t remember the other stuff I had to talk about.

I’m getting back into shape, eating healthier and eating less. I think my metabolism’s changing again ‘cos I can’t eat things too rich and some things which aren’t considered rich I’m now finding too rich (e.g. Milo ice cream).

My friend is really happy with me because I keep giving her posters of the Twilight cast. Also, the guy who plays Carlisle (Peter Facinelli) and Hayden Panettiere (aka Claire off Heroes) are coming to Australia.

Emily Blunt is no longer going to be Black Widow in Iron Man 2. Rumours are it will be Scarlett Johansson.
