Whoever you are, thank you so much for doing this! You'll make my Christmas a very very happy one :D


Here's a bit more information about the fandoms I requested and what I generally enjoy/steer away from.

Without further ado... )

Oh my God. I get over one grammar hump then get hit with something even more nasty. Surely this qualifies as a torture device! Goddamn infinitives. It's worse than Chucky.

On a more amusing (?) note, we had [info]huechi's birthday party on the weekend. It was heaps of fun. It was also one of the rare chances I get to see [info]wintersjuly, who (for some strange reason) I don't get to talk to very often. (YOU NEED TO COME TO MORE STUFF YO)


[info]wintersjuly: I need to stop reading NCIS fics!
me: ORLY? well the only NCIS fic writer I know is [info]ingenius_inc...
[info]wintersjuly: Oh yeah, she's awesome. One of the more awesome writers in the fandom!
me: lol that's funny. She's my best friend from high school.
[info]wintersjuly: O____________O;;;;;;;;


Whether she was trying to edge away from my proud (?) beaming face, or she was just IN AWE, I don't know. It was pretty funny either way. XDXDXD

Here, have some crazy k-pop. Pink jumpsuits and satin capes! Unlimited supply of eyeliner! I AM HOOKED. IT IS SO SPARKLY AND TACKY. JUST. JEESUS. WHERE DO I START?

pity the foo!

Jesus Christ on a pogo stick, is it too much to ask for family shit NOT HAPPENING after a craptastic day at work?

Fuckers. UGH.

1) lightbulbs (no one told me I had to READ the box and convert the wattage- stood there thinking 'god, has everyone suddenly got super eyesight than me? How can you read with 13w?' *Headsmack*)

2) Jam donut flavoured icecream topping. (My brain did a wibble, my stomach did a wobble)

Monday, begone. *sigh*

fail of epic proportion
I'm making a promise to myself: DO NOT CREATE OCCASIONS WHERE I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO USE THIS ICON.

to cut a long story short: am cheapass and cannot go to Sydney twice for wedding AND hens night. Am worst friend ever. Am feeling like I kicked a puppy. Am not going to commit ritual suicide in shame because that means I won't be able to go to the wedding- then I'll REALLY be kicking the puppy. A lepered puppy. (Can puppies even get leprosy? I don't fucking know.)


too much TTT today. I'll be happy not to talk for the rest of the week. Burr.

Have some Merlin dork!cuteness. My stance on RPS is....weakening.....

Went to see Tosca yesterday. Kept thinking how much better the whole thing could've been if Jeremy Irons was Baron Scarpia. Mmm.

I am covered in Windex. Don't ask why.

But we finally have Starboard up and running at work! Hell yeah. Hitachi = awesome. Going to playdesign a constructive lesson nah play with it tomorrow.

I baked raspberry & white choc muffins to destress. I may have been a little overenthusastic on the white chocolate part. Or I used the wrong variety. I don't know. The end result was a -delicious- explosion of caramelized chocolate. I didn't know chocolate COULD caramelize O.o I'm counting on others' reports of deliciousness, because they disappeared at work. It seemed a bit gooey to me. Hmm.

Overall a busy, busy week. I am looking forward to socialising and booze on the weekend. Bring. It. On.

Is slightly worried about tomorrow

I keep writing 'passive' over and over again and having dirty chuckles. I shold not be teaching liddle kiddies evar Lesson is not gellinggggggg ngh.

Had an awesome yumcha in the city with ppl, it's scary how it's harder to reach out to people and say 'hey, you wanna go/do/play/see something?'. I firmly believe this is my fault for getting so wrapped up in work and stuff, not leaving any energy/will for socialising.

I've also noticed a subtle (?) personality change; I'm more cutting (if that makes sense), unwilling to consider all options then sort of meandering or pondering. I think that's because, at current work, my head will explode like ricotta cheese and tomato paste thrown together if I stopped and "um..." at something or someone. My fuse is shorter. Or put more simply, I've become more of a bitch. Apologies to anyone whom I've offended by cutting remarks or less than diplomatic way of saying things. Remember: Tomato paste and ricotta cheese. You try it. Trust me.

Things that's keeping me sane atm, in no particular order;

- Yuki Kajiura's music, esp. the Pandora Hearts OST. I wasn't really a fan of her work, but I did like the way her music was definitely a signature of herself. The OST is gorgeous. see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyFn84E4Ub4&feature=PlayList&p=571EBA7CB9DBD926&index=0&playnext=1

- FMA Brotherhood. Mangaverse! Continues to be awesome in increasing degrees.

- Mushi-shi: an episode or two of this helps me to sleep.

- ofic by Maldoror-gw (on LJ). Out is incredible. I had a choice between being awake for work (no fic) or being a caffeine dependent wreck at work (orgy night of fic). Surely you know I chose the good girl option! Pfffft. righttttttt.

In my defense, the fic was worth running into walls. see http://maldoror-gw.livejournal.com/83190.html. all appropriate warnings are on her page. Please abide.

I should get back to passives (huh huh).

Greetings! I will slowly reaquaint myself with the LJ layout again. My last entry was- June?! So much for the Hypocritical promise to POST EVERY DAY! HAHAHA!

*wears the Cone of Shame for the entire post*


Because RL is the pits atm (asparagus or not), I must express my frustration via kicking at inanimate objects! The thought of going back to TKD is actually quite frightening, so I was wondering...

Melbournites! Anyone for kickboxing classes?

Preferably in the city, my work is finally relocating there. Since it's going to be right next to the heavenly waffle place, I'm going to need some workout. As far as I know, there's one at Docklands and one at Flinders for Muai Thai (seems hardcore, but oh well it's close). I would really like someone to come with me. Please?

Note the "...Badgers are capable of fighting off much larger animals such as wolves, coyotes and bears."

Well, Brian Jacques was onto something anyway. But he never got the Badger lords to attack bears. Maybe triumph over bears is yet unprecedented.

With this new information, I think the weakest House is now officially Ravenclaw, although ravens DO pluck your eyes out (Quoth!).

And now:



...suddenly, I feel sorry for the SNAKE.

I've been keeping up with FMA- it's a lot easier when there isn't like 300 chapters to catch up on (OMG Naruto I fail.) BUTBUTBUT-

*scenario: playing a word game in class, where the 'it' person has to guess the word. The word is 'orchestra'. A Japanese girl is in the 'it' chair.*

Usually, this game is pretty difficult for the class level.

This took 2 seconds.


Korean guy: Have you seen Nodame Cantabile?

Japanese girl: Hai! Orchestra! *wins for the team*

everyone else: O.o...WTH just happened??


Lesson of the day is = watch anime, has smarts XD
