My life is kind of pathetic, because this was one of my better Saturday nights...

 Darren Criss, never stop being so fucking awesome. Seriously. Don't.
I just watched an interview (this one, it's long but damn he's awesome) from just before he landed Glee, or more likely, had already landed Glee but kept quiet about it. I found out on detail that makes me biased but I don't even care. Violin was his first instrument. He learnt since he as 5 years old. FOR FIFTEEN YEARS.
Excuse me while I go flip out. *fans self*
I have an unashamed bias for my instrument - so sue me. I found a clip of him playing, just randomly at one of his gigs, and damn his technique is pretty good too. Just needed to get that out there, along with these:

Apparently when he was younger he was obsessed with 'Star Wars, The Beatles and Disney movies'. Bahaha.

He was talking about being in New York, and he said something along the lines of 'oh I have family here, I have a lot of roots here...'
OH GOD I ALWAYS FORGET THAT ONLY AUSSIES SEE THE INNUENDO IN THAT. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I laughed for like 5 minutes straight. I mean, none of them even batted an eyelid at the phrase...

I love that he doesn't think people who try to contact him are creepy or stalkers or weird.
'we have a musical called 'Me and my Dick'. That's weird. You messaging me is not weird.'

I also love that he's still a fanboy at heart.

Be warned. This is going to be long.

( I don't even know what this is... )

Just to finish off, here is a nostalgia trip that I am looking forward to.

New Winnie the Pooh movie! And it sounds and looks like the originals. Goodness I love Eeyore! <3

'I've come so far, I can't go back to where I used to be'

Please read first: I am okay.
A little nervous that I'm actually posting this, but the title of this post is appropriate. I need to get this out there because I don't think some people really understand how the things they do and say can affect others. Which is the reason this is staying on public, which terrifies me in a lot of ways. Even for me, this is being open to insane levels.


( The dam breaks... )

Day 7-14 of 30

 You sick of me yet? Meme catch-up post coming right up, so I hope not.

7. How you came across tumblr livejournal.
Well, it's all thanks to this person called pebblegosling . She got one, pestered me to check her entries, and then made me make an account. So I have her to thank for finding you lovely people on my f-list, and for giving me an outlet to vent/write/rant/flail.

8. Are you a fitness guru or couch potato? Talk about your exercise habits.
Habits? What habits?
The mere thought of me as a fitness guru is laughable. Laughable.
Yeah, exercise, what is that?

9. Favourite meme at the moment.
Not sure I have one, actually. XD

10. Talk about your pets, or the pets you would like to have.
I have two dogs, called Coby and Anchor. They're crosses between Cocker Spaniels and Beagles and they are pretty cute. Even if 'they don't move' according to snuggle_monster. They are getting a bit old now. Let me see if I can find a picture.


The top photo is Coby, who is 'mine' and the bottom one is Anchor. So named for the patch of fur on his back that resembled one when he was a puppy. Now it looks more like a star. They are brothers from the same litter, and suffer from intense separation anxiety when one of them has to leave for whatever reason. Not for us, mind you, they're perfectly happy to be left alone - just god forbid one of them needs to go to the vet...

11. Your top 3 favourite bands/artists.
Washington.
Newton Faulkner.
The Jezabels.

The first two without question. The last, well, I don't think I've ever fallen in love with a band so fast. And that INCLUDES Washington. It took me about a line of the first song and that was it. I was totally speechless.
Before anyone says it, yes, Darren Criss would be up there but he's not at the top. =P

12. Your thoughts or opinions about Harry Potter.
Harry Potter. The first fantasy series I ever got into, properly. I grew up with the books, and the movies, and okay I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE LAST MOVIE!
Ahem.
My favourite book is the 3rd, followed by the 6th and my least favourite is probably the 5th.
The best movie by far was the one that was just released. Intense. But still with it's amusing moments, of course.
I'll stop my disjointed rambling now. Have a video that pebblegosling posted a little while ago, it sums up the series perfectly in my eyes <3

13. Your thoughts or opinions about Mean Girls.
A good chick flick, the last movie starring Lindsay Lohan that I enjoyed, but I've only seen it once and that was enough for me. Unlike the obsession so many people seem to have with it (particularly at my school).

14. Do you have siblings? Talk about them, or talk about what it's like to be an only child.
I have one younger brother who will always be my 'little brother'. It vaguely freaks me out that he's turning 18 this year. I need to think of a present, actually. We actually get along now that we're both a bit older - which is great. 3 years is a gap that's just big enough to mean we fought ALL the time over stupid stuff, but small enough that now it works. He has a really sweet girlfriend who I get along with well enough, and they're pretty adorable.
Now I'm up to date, and I'll stop posting today. Promise.
