'These are a few of my favourite things'
Wow guys, the response to my last post was incredible! Thank you!
<3
I've actually been meaning to post an actual update for about a week now, but then real life actually did get in the way. A lot of my time has been taken up by this production, but I now have a couple of days off which is nice. I ended up going to see the New Years Eve fireworks with pebblegosling, wolfielove, a_new_divide and a couple of other friends, which was great fun. Very exciting, as I had never brought in the new year in the city before. So many people! Can totally understand why we've never been now, Mum hates crowds.
... Then I fronted up to work on New Years Day, that was fun... /sarcasm.
So quiet and boring. Ah well, $$$
The rest of my time has been spent organising my cd collection (took me forever, I discovered I actually own about 105 cds!), and I stayed at snuggle_monster's place last night. Purportedly to watch movies - but we just ended up talking for hours and hours and didn't watch a single one. Fangirling over Darren Criss was there too, of course, as well as laughing hysterically over youtube videos.
Oh, this is one random thing I found so amusing. Firstly, this song is awesome and cool in it's normal version.
Then, this version starts playing - I start cracking up so much. Because it's *him* singing still. It's not a cover. LOL. Seriously Ben Folds, why are you so awesome?!
Then, I get to snuggle_monster's place yesterday and we're listening to it and laughing at it. Although, she told me later on that she was not only laughing at the song itself (and the literal translations of the lyrics which are apparently much politer than the English phrasing) but she was laughing at the fact that I knew immediately that it was Japanese. Is it really that hard to pick that out?! ... Apparently for most people it is. Pebblegosling, I blame you entirely for this ability of mine ;)
And now - onto the meme! Which I have been neglecting, mainly because this part of it is difficult for me. I am the sort of person who traces each event in my life to who I am now. Anything that I would change, would change who I am now dramatically, and honestly, I like where I am in life right now.
DAY01: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.
DAY02: Nine things about yourself.
DAY03: Eight ways to win your heart.
DAY04: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
DAY05: Six things you wish you’d never done.
Put up walls with certain people I used to be really close to.
Stayed at my old school for as long as I did. (but that would have changed everything, so this is a surface comment)
Stressed about going on that chamber music trip. It's not that important, really.
There are a lot of things I say that I wish I could take back instantly.
Let my parents get video footage of the 'plays' that we used to put on over the summer.
... yep that's all I got. I don't dwell on this stuff, not any more.
DAY06: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever).
DAY07: Four turn offs.
DAY08: Three turn ons.
DAY09: Two images that describe your life right now, and why.
DAY10: One confession.
And that's it for today! I have a fair few plans for February, but almost none for the next few weeks - which is a nice change of pace. I won't get any extra shifts at work, January is dead, so I think I'll sit at home, watch movies, catch up with harpisan (hopefully!) organise my music to go onto the ipod I just bought off snuggle_monster, fixing up my lj tags (going to take me a while...), go shopping because I can, and the like.

LOL at you guys getting together to watch movies and then not watching any. :P Though, talking and talking for hours sounds a lot better, actually!
no subject
10. But not all of them use it regularly. Actually, most don't. I know a couple have accounts purely so they can read my f-locked entries.
I knew them in person and then either found out they already had lj, or convinced them to make one. (except pebblegosling, she made me get mine!)
We kind of kid ourselves that we'll do anything but talk. It's pretty funny, actually.

...I dunno, Japanese is obviously Japanese to me. But I am not a good example. ..Yeah. TEEHEEE.
HEY. HEY YOU. GET A TWITTER. 8D
no subject
... You're possibly the worst example on my f-list :P
Nooooooooo

You are shameless. We've been through this :P

I'm not strong enough to resist more people XD XD XD

I also hate the fact I stayed at school for so long too. So I do sympathise.
Holy crap you own a lot of CDs! I "have" 120GB worth of music!
no subject
What happened with you? <3
Heh. I have about 16gb of music, and have just gotten a bigger ipod than my 8gb nano so I don't have to pick and choose any more XD
no subject
Oh school was just a pants time in general. I performed amazingly but was in a bad school is all.
16GB? My 120GB will eat yours. I'll have to try and work out how to post a list of all the music I have so I can share any things people would like.

Short short short version: went to a school where I had friends until year 5, then suddenly no one wanted to talk to me/have anything to do with me except to bully me. I stuck it out until year 10 and finally snapped and moved schools in year 10, to a school where I met all of the school-friends I mention :) Best decision I ever made.
HAHA
Ooh yes please do!!
Of, just get a last.fm profile and post a link!
no subject
105 cds is more than a fair effort, I'll have to say. *looks at over at own measly 30-cd stack*
Must. See. Footage. Of. The plays. Now. *dalek voice*
no subject
AGH I forgot to get The Emperor's New Groove back... damn it!
Heh. =D
... Footage? What footage.
(I actually have no clue where it is - thank god)
no subject
I know what you mean!! That happens to me a lot. I'm not very quick-thinking so if I'm forced to talk about something or talk to someone when I'm not mentally prepared and don't have time to think about I end up saying a lot of REALLY stupid things, LOL. XD
