So i spent the day in bed with one of those headaches that feels like your brain is trying to exit your body on its own volition, and then i got up and opened my email.

to whoever sent me the gift of paid account status, THANK YOU.

it was totally unexpected and wonderful of you to do this and i cannot thank you enough. it surprised the heck outta me, i must say, but it was a wonderful surprise. i will use it wisely and cherish every minute of it.


i may not know your name, but i know your generosity, and it makes you beautiful. ♥

baby gave me a horrible shock yesterday, was buried in tears for the majority of the night. thank goodness he is okay, i think the boy is still sleeping, waiting for him to call when he gets up. (: i miss you beeeee. i love it that you understand me so well, thanks for all the wonderful advice! plus, i'm so proud of baby for making it through the wildcard round for battle of the bands! (: by definition said baby was a great frontman with tons of showmenship. i'm so proud of you sweetie! i'm praying baby wins and gets the cash. hehe. its just super sad that i can't get to watch baby perform. =( i'll be this crazy fangirl screaming my lungs out for that boy. oh wells, he promised to take videos and i'll watch it here, screaming my lungs out too! 
i love you hunneyy! 


school has been alright so far, i don't have classes tmr but i need to head down to the registration office to settle some problems, plus going to the mobile subcriber to sign up for a plan. i think i'm gonna subcribe to skype thingy, 10000 minutes to handphones in sg for 9 euro. hmmm.. so i can call baby all day and all night. hee, i think i'm crazily annoying him. but i can't help it, i miss him! i am really praying that baby would be able to come during the december holidays. so i can spend christmas and new years with him. 

life here has been alright, the feeling lonely pangs are slowly getting to me. we went out yesterday and the day before to ying thai, a thai food restaurant which is so amazing! (: and later to brunetti's for dessert, the dessert there is truly TO DIE FOR. chocolate mousse, strawberry cheesecake, beats any dessert in singapore. i swear. 

what scares me is that a teacher told us that she is certain that 80% of us will end up migrating to australia and work here. i don't think my parents would mind if i migrated though i think my friends would make a hell of alot of noise. (: esp baby and the bffs. hehe.

oh wells, can you guys (THOSE WHO WANT TO RECIEVE LETTERS/POSTCARDS FROM ME) please comment with your address. (: comments screened!

 

Since I'm all about obscure references today (::eyes Wifey and snorts:: ♥) gmail keeps throwing this link my way: Monokinis On Sale - Become.com/Monokinis - Look great out in the sun with the fashionable Monokini. Save Now!

And all I can think of is monchichis? I WANT A MONCHICHI AGAIN!

Also, those are some fugly bathing suits.

I really don't want school to start again!!! I got my hair trimmed because i knew I wouldn't have time once school starts added on top of work. I saw a Youth OnStage production of Pajama Game last night and the only thing I could think of was "This is not Harry Connick Jr. and Kelli O' Hara, this is not Harry Connick Jr. and Kelli O' Hara...etc..". I've sucked down 5 novels this week. It's truly gratifying but also sad when the book ends. I haven't studied for my lesson tomorrow, I guess I'll wing it. I've also spent quite a bit of money in the past months on cds and books some I haven't even listened to/read them.

so i might work virgin fest this year, idk. last year's lineup was /so/ much better. smashing pumpkins, the beastie boys, modest fucking mouse and the POLICE. kanye's alright but common's better and the foo fighters get boring after a few songs... stone temple pilots might be alright but i'd rather have rage against the machine. maybe the lineup will get better and i will actually want to work it. we'll see.

david doesn't have internet at his house until next friday and he only calls once a day. ugh i am so bored.

blaahhh

"Life is the saddest thing there is, next to death; yet there are always new countries to see, new books to read (and, I hope, to write), a thousand little daily wonders to marvel at and rejoice in, and those magical moments when the mere discovery that 'the woodspurge has a cup of three' brings not despair but delight."
Edith Wharton, A Backward Glance

"This world is filled with things that will never make sense. Trying to make so much sense of them will only result in one thing. Spending the rest of your life trying to remember what you were like before any of it mattered."
At Last There is Nothing Left to Say by Matthew Good

Hiiiiii!

I am alone in the hotel room, as verycleanindeed and kindoftrouble left over three hours ago to get in line for Ballroom 20 (as today is Dollhouse, BSG, and Chuck panels all in a row there).

I've been having massive fun, but, I am also freakin ill. The fevers and extreme sore throat have stopped, mostly, but the coughing and the sniffling and sneezing is still in high-gear.

Holly gave me a digital camera, so I've been able to take some pictures! Mostly so far, it's just been of the Spaced panel, as my dern nabbed batteries were running out during Jim Butcher and 24 (which is Sad inducing, as gahhhhhhhhhhh. awesometastic panel'ness). Did no go to any Stargate panels, as am sick, and Spaced was more of a priority.

But yes, Richard Dean Anderson actually was at the SG-1 panel. That is awesome.

I sat through a Powerpuff girls panel yesterday and dudes. Tom Kenny is a funny, funny dude. And he made this crack about it being only Friday and therefore the smell wasn't that bad yet.

As I was walking around throughout the day, I realized... he was not exaggerating.

Nerd body odor. LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

By the by, Disneyland? PWNS SO HARD. I will elaborate at another time, as my brain doesn't work so well right now. I will make more coherent posts later, probably when I get home, as that will be the first time I can actually just do nothing and not have to hurry, yaaay. Maybe I will no longer be sick by then, too. Oy.

ugh. and i still have two more classes to buy textbooks for. fucking Spanish 201 and Advanced Young Adult Literature Genre Studies: the Vampire. Spanish book is going to be 160 bucks because i have to buy it from the school bookstore (UGH) and as for YA Lit i am not sure because we haven't decided on the books for the research project yet. as far as i know. i've been 144 miles from Farmville while the other girl has been in Farmville all summer taking classes, so there might be a booklist that i dont know about, but i highly doubt that Doc Brock would confirm a list without letting me know. she knows how much i love reading the books she suggests.

blah. i bought The Twilight Streets tonight with my allowance money. woo! tomorrow is a reading day! for me so i can finish AKA get past chapter 1 in Border Princes. and i've decided that Ianto is my fav character because of his one-liners and keen coffee sense. and suddenly i realize that most of my posts lately have had some kind of Torchie tidbit in them. perhaps that is because i have to be studying something all the time. if i am not in class, i make up projects and things for me to do unconsciously at times because i have to have a goal and knowledge to attain. sure, torchwood is not high up on the whole academic scheme of things but it is a new world for me to learn about and a new culture to dive into. as much as I LOVE ENGLAND, i have never been there and besides the surface knowledge learned through American History classes and the Nightly World News, i dont know about their lifestyles or the people. watching torchwood, reading about the actors and their lives, introduces british pop culture and slang, styles and media that i have never learned about before. last night while reading up on John Barrowman, i learned about the theatre in London and the way stage shows are produced. looking up Ianto's name meaning, i learned that it's a Welsh name derived from John. (HAHA--Captain John, Ianto--Jack has a thing for Johns, doesn't he?) I was reading about the fashion in the Torchwood magazine mom got me from Borders and i looked up the designers--did you know that Jimmy Choo shoes come from London? the first shop was there. (i have a thing for shoes.) or that Jack actually has several long coats and two are shorter than the others for when he does stunts and has to run? it's so that his heels dont catch on the coat tail. how cool that they think of things like that. but i guess that would have to--i mean, Jack can only fall on his face so many times before someone breaks out the scissors . . .

so yeah, i'm weird but i'm having fun. i really need to get back to school so i have more intellectual things to discuss besides the mating habits of Weevils.

Things that make me happy:
1. ALL MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE -- DAVID COOK IN THE PHILIPPINES ON JANUARY 27!!! OMG I LOVE IT. I really don't get why he's coming here for his very first international performance, but I am so, so, so grateful. I really hope it's true. AND, I really hope he doesn't break all our hearts and cancels it or whatever.
2. Yankees win over Red Sox today, 1-0!
3. (SPOILER ALERT!) This gif from the newest Prison Break season 4 promo. LOVE. ♥
4. Matt Doyle, just because I'm listening to him right now.
5. One dozen Krispy Kreme donuts in the house. :)

But really, none of those things make me happy enough to forget this:
1. THE X-FILES WILL SCREEN IN THIS COUNTRY ON THE 13TH OF FUCKING AUGUST. SHITTY SHITTY SHITTY. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT. How am I supposed to -- Why do they have to -- WHY WHY WHY :(( :(( :(( It was originally set to screen on July 23 dammit, WHY DID THEY HAVE TO MOVE IT TO THREE WEEKS LATER???????? I cry. I CRY. :((

I? Just had to send an awful fucking e-mail. ::grumps:: But then, my Wifey turns around on me with this:

chubbybunnie: *push*
chubbybunnie: done
aoibhe: that's what she said
aoibhe: ::deadpan::
chubbybunnie: *snooort*
chubbybunnie: dude
chubbybunnie: and i never expect that
aoibhe: couldn't resist. ^^;;;
aoibhe: you SHOULD
chubbybunnie: it's like you're the spanish inquistion
aoibhe: best usage of a quote ever, Wrennie
aoibhe: ever.

- I've noticed a semi-recent influx of news friends (allo, new friends), but I'm not quite sure where some of you have come from. Despite what so many people tend to say (it makes me laugh, ohmyjesus, so much) I'm not that scary. Drop me a comment and let me know what you're doing here; I tend to friend back (I'm one of those weirdoes who view their lj friends list as a reading list, not a qualifier for friendship).

- Speaking of you n00bs, go here to compare likes and dislikes with me. (seriously, there's no one else who likes the wuxia sub-genre? seriously?)

- Speaking of friends, you lot suck. Not, mind you, that I've done much better.

- I hate talking to my ex-husband; it reinforces the fact that I wasted over ten years on that fucking moron. And jesus, I certainly didn't marry him for his brains; I just wish it wasn't so obvious.

- I'm looking for Hotch/Prentiss songs. No, I don't know either; I think all the Reid/Morgan today has driven me around the bend. (More like I'm bitter that most of the good writers ignore Hotch/Reid, woez.)

- Tagged by my lovely impalalove:

( Read more... )

And tagging eight people: xtinethepirate, stephanometra, pinstripepirate, lostandalone22, kethlenda, joaniemaloney, fourth_rose, and blue_hobbit. You're welcome.

gripes:

- no cell reception since tuesday due to the thunderstorm and the tornado that passed through Fauquier County. BOO. really tired of living in the fucking stix.

- no AIM on the new laptop and it will take ten years to download it using dial-up.

- the book i'm reading Border Princes kinda sucks. i dont like this James guy who the fuck is he? (but dont tell me if you know. i will hold on and read it all, but i'm thinking i should've gotten The Twilight Streets instead. boo reading things in order.)

- kerrang 1219 is 22 dollars with shipping from Britain. not fair.

- Go2 does not taste like Coca-Cola. fuck generics.

- i cant download Doctor Who season 1 because of the dial-up-ness and Blockbuster doesnt have it to rent.

- it's payday which means grocery store with the parents. never a good combination.

- my car is dirty and i dont feel like washing it because of the heat wave.

- i cant decide what music to put on my new laptop and what to leave out. there are essentials, yes, that i must have, but other than those guys i dont know what i actually listen to. i need to branch out.

- i dislocated the ring finger on my right hand when i put on a ring that was entirely too small--when did that happen?--and had to force it off. now it doesnt bend like it used to but it doesnt hurt too badly so i think it's back in socket.

- orange chicken recipe looks like baby shit chicken and is not advisable.

- i need to sacrifice one of my LJ Icons to the great hereafter of graphicsdom because i want a Ianto icon. or maybe i should suck it up and get a paid account. it's only been what--five years since i started on livejournal? i think its a good investment.

I keep crushing on this guy who has a girlfriend. Every day, the more I can't have him the more I want him. I don't even like the idea of relationships. Very frustrating.

The past few nights I haven't been getting any sleep, like a dose of insomnia. I've been tossing and turning in bed all hours of the night or just staring up at my ceiling counting in my head horrible situations that I would prefer to the lack of sleep. But finally last night I fell asleep for a few hours. I put on my lava lamp and opened up my blinds so the moonlight can come through my windows. I think that relaxed me.

Tomorrow I plan on going to the Gossip Girl casting studios with my best friend Molly, so wish me luck. We hope to get at least a glimpse of Ed Westwick. ;)

Oh, and does anyone here read David Sedaris? I'm in the middle of Naked and it's fabulous. He's performing in the fall near me, and I'm going to try and buy tickets tonight for it. That , and I really want to get tickets for the tour Tegan Quin is doing with Augusten Burroughs (another one of my favorite authors) for September 4th.
