I just had my first driving lesson with a real instructor. My l33t driving skillz seemed to deteriorate somewhat at this time. And it was weird driving a car that, like, has responsive brakes and stuff. <3 My beast of a car.

I'm bored. So. Meme time!

Fandom meme

Pick a fandom you know I know about, and I'll tell you:

03. The character everyone else loves that I don't
04. The character I love that everyone else hates

06. The character I would shag anytime
07. The character I'd want to be like
08. The character I'd slap
09. A pairing that I love
10. A pairing that I hate
11. Favorite character
12. My five favorite characters

15. My deep, dark fandom secret

eg. Bones, Pretender, House, Grey's, Friends, Heroes, Roswell, Harry Potter, Twilight, Brothers and Sisters, Alias, Lost, Gilmore Girls. Umm. Probably many others?

Uhh, so. I disappeared for five months and stuff. Oops. Sorry about that. Uni ate me.

Anyhoo – if anything was going to bring me out of hiding, it was going to be this. And for a limited time only, complete with picspam!

I am, of course, writing fic. But who knows how long that’ll take.

I'm back from schoolies, y'all. I got quite sunburned, drank way too much, met some really cool people, made out on the beach in the rain at 3am, surprisingly didn't get sick of my friends and really, really wish I was still there, because last week was seriously the best week of my life. Now it's back to the gaping black hole that is real life. Which begins with telling my manager that I need more hours. Yuck. Really do not want.



( So. Bones. )

I haven't watched the latest Heroes, yet, but 3x09? Ajwghwsdgiuyfgeuyf78rtgbhdadjsfgsad!!! Totally the episode I've been waiting for all season. Though I've been told 3x10 isn't quite so awesome.

Meme time!

RENT! was awesome; the singing was unbelievable. And I got to meet the entire cast, including a boy I went to school with that is like, a total star now or something, and get everyone to sign my programme, and it was all round a pretty cool graduation present.

I'm thinking of writing fic, but I have so many on the go I don't know where to start.

So, flist. 'Sup?

I'm going to be pretty scarce over the next two weeks (more so than usual, anyway) due to exams, so before I disappear on my mini hiatus I come bearing music. Because sharing is caring. Don't anyone sue me, please. I can't help it that they wormed their way into my shippery heart with their cuteness.

Some miscellany:

- I found the Bones finale somewhat anticlimactic as far as finales are concerned, but otherwise: I laughed. A lot. I can sense withdrawal coming on.
- I liked this week's Heroes. So excited about next week. So sad about it ending.
- Gilmore Girls is over! Ahhh. Pretty much bawled through the whole thing. Dude. So many memories :( How did Luke get to be the cutest thing ever? Can I have him now that the show doesn't need him anymore?
- WHAT. KATE, HOW COULD YOU? WHAT ABOUT US?
- Okay. Now officially dead from cute.

Today I:

Watched ( Bones - 2x21 The Glowing Bones in the Old Stone House )

Watched ( Heroes - 1x21 The Hard Part )

Bought a ( car )

I also watched 7x07 of Gilmore Girls but I'll refrain from commenting until I'm caught up, I think.

I have the worst headache ever. Also: I am poor.

In other news: am writing The Fic That Will Not End omg. I totally remember why I avoid dialogue now. Once the characters start talking, they don't shut up.

I am unexplainably excited about the His Dark Materials movie, and I'm resisting the urge to abandon whatever it is I'm reading at the moment and reread the books. And, hello? Nicole Kidman. Win. So much win.

RL story for the week: we got our leavers jumpers on Thursday. On the back they have everyone's name and then your chosen nickname at the top. Usually they're very thorough in screening what gets put into the jumpers (eg your nickname has to be some form of your name, or whatever) but this year it was all pretty much student organised so all kinds of stuff got through. We have a pair of twins in our year, ditzy as anything and I pretty much can't stand to be in the same room as them. One of my friends asked me if I'd noticed that one of the twins had 'The Better Twin' put on the back of her jumper, to which I initially rolled my eyes. Only later in the day, I got to see it for myself.

What she actually had on the back of her jumper? 'The Beta Twin.' I laugh.

The sides for 2x22 have made me go kind of 'Eh.'

The Grey's promo annoys me. The Cristina thing doesn't sit right with me and as for the other thing, ages ago I would have gone for it but now it makes me roll my eyes kind of. Red herring methinks? Hopes?

blademistress you'll be pleased to know I am getting Torchwood, thanks to my Lit teacher, so I'll actually be able to, you know, follow it properly when you talk about it. Yay!

Dear TS Eliot,

You suck. And you have funny ears.

No love,
Me.

OH LOLZ AT YOU, ELLEN POMPEO, YOU ALREADY HAVE YOUR OWN SHOW, YOU SILLY PANTS.

I have a large and obnoxiously bright coloured tattoo of Ronald McDonald on my face. Don't ask. You probably don't want to know.

I am close to having in my possession up to episode 17 of Heroes, and plan to be caught up accordingly by the end of this upcoming long weekend. I missed the second ep when I was at Rotto and decided to just give up watching it since every freaking show ever is on at the same time on a Wednesday, and just watch my brother's DVDs. YAY HEROES MARATHON TIME.

Someone do my calculus homework for me?

Omgsoexcited. <3333333 belated birthday present wants it nowwwww.

Omgwtfbbqexpensivemuch? AND WHY? WHY IS THERE SO MUCH UNNECESSARY UNPRETTINESS WHEN THERE COULD BE SO MUCH PRETTY? NEW COVER PLS.

And on to more composed things:

I have just been examining the list of shows we are getting these upcoming weeks, and I am very happy with the appearance of Studio 60 and Heroes and um, othersthatIcan'tremember on this list. Because I don't already watch wayyy too much tv, or anything.

I just finished watching season six of Gilmore Girls and I must say I am very unhappy at this unhappy predicament that we have developed here and the ass-y-ness of all my once-loved characters and I'm not terribly motivated to watch the seventh season.

Umm for Christmas we possibly got wayyy too many box sets. We now have all of Alias and Dark Angel and also there's Melrose Place and Party of Five AND SO MANY THINGS TO WATCH AND SO LITTLE TIME OMG. Oh oh oh and I got the shiny Depp Collection box set, and there's Johnny, and shiny, and more Johnny, and lots of Johnny in between, and it is love <3

I really, really, really hate my job and when did it get to be 1 am, because that's so not cool and I feel a little sick and dizzy so I might go to bed now.

HAPPY BELATED CHRISTMAS, FLIST. AND HAPPY UPCOMING NEW YEAR. AND STUFF. I LOVE YOU ALL*

ETA: At 1 am, I lose at html.

Because I'm bored like woah, and when I'm bored I get in one of those moods where I do everything possible to blow my cap, including downloading the new Justin Timberlake album just to mock it by changing the words. Only I stopped because one of the songs was kind of growing on me which freaked me out a little.

SCHOOL'S OVER OMG YAY.

Well, except for the part where I have to go back in two weeks, and exams and all. But, urg. It's a Friday night and the last day of term and I am so incredibly bored out of my brains it is not funny because I should be out right now. My Friday night routine has completely fallen apart because on a Friday night I usually: watch about six hours straight of Gilmore Girls before retiring to bed at some silly hour to read a chapter of a book that I'll probably have to reread at a later date because I'm way too out of it to absorb what I've read anyway. Only GILMORE GIRLS IS ALL GONE AND I WANTS IT BACK.

I've been diligently buying each season and making my way through them, and I was really excited to find that as they only played the first six episodes of season five over here, that I had a whole sixteen new episodes to watch, which was all kinds of awesome. Because Luke is the coolest thing ever. And although it totally got suckier and suckier to the point that I was yelling STFU RORY U H0R KTHNDI at the television set, much to my mother's confusion, I really wants it back :( And the season five finale is all kinds of really, really mean. And I totally squeed, and then swore at the credits when they came up. So fuck you, channel nine, for teasing us with half-seasons of GG and the distinct possibility you may only go on to play the second half of season five this summer rather than the sixth season which I want now, or possibly just not play anymore GG at all. So I think I will download season six and move on to season seven, because I'm spoiled and I don't think I could cope with being reintroduced to the concept of ads and one-ep-per-week again anyway. And I think I'm sick of Luke/Lorelai which is kind of sad, because in the beginning it was all OMG OTP!!11!!eleventyone! but I've analysed it and decided I wanted them to get together in the I-love-Luke-he-is-the-cutest-thing-ever-so-he-totally-needs-to-get-the-girl way that I wanted George to get Meredith. But I'm kind of rooting for Chris now, despite his recent jack-ass-y-ness. Even though the last episode made me wibble. Only I kind of wanted him to do it because it would be so much cuter. And I'm making no sense so I think I'll stop now.

Three episodes of Bones in two nights had me in Bones heaven, and hee, they played The Man in the Fallout Shelter. <3 Elf Angela. And one of the things I love about this show is that within the first season, both the leading characters have been high at some point. And Hodgins' eyes are sex omg.

Since we have now observed the extent of my boredom in my crazy run-on sentences I leave you with this, because it's my theme song, yo:
