AH BE CROSS-POSTIN, HOPEFULLY? rotae@dreamwidth :D

Ugh. I have five assignments due in this week. LAME. On the bright side, I've done one of the longest ones and it's submitted, so that's all good :D I'll be writing about 7000 words this week :/

ANYWAY. AH HAS APARTMENT PHOTOS [in case you didn't see them on Facebook]!! :D


Looking out mah bedroom on mah balcony :D
( CLICKEH )

Got annoyed today with some friends. Wanted to shake them and say, "DID YOU EVER THINK THAT YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM?! IF YOU DON'T LIKE SOMETHING, THEN FUCKING DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, STOP PLAYING THE VICTIM AND HELP!!!!!!!!" Ugh. Of course I didn't because I hate that sort of confrontation and wank is something I avoid like the plague, LOL. But eh. I'm annoyed by it. I think it's my mother's voice in my head, LOL. She never let me feel sorry for myself. *feels sorry for self* HAHAHAAHAHA XDDDDD

On the bright side today, Jo and I went to see A Film With Me In It at the State Cinema, and it was AWSUMMMMM :D Sooooooo dark. LOL. If you take Blackadder and make it 100 times darker, it's ALMOST there XDDDDDD LOVES!!

And I'm hosting a Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Slytherin at H_E which has been fun so far! Damn those Chasers are quick!! :D Put the post up last night and was working on the comments for people to enter under, only to get to Ravenclaw (having done Gryffindor and Hufflepuff) and realise ONLY SLYTHERIN AND GRYFFINDOR ENTER THE STUPID THING *HEADDESKS* LOL XDDDDD Phail, Rotae, phail. Clearly I do not think well late at night, LOL.

Also, Happy Star Wars Day!! May the 4th [May the Fouth be with you, LOLOLOLOL SEE?!]. I might even upload a Star Wars pic I did a few months ago if the mood strikes me :D

That's it for tonight, I think. Sorry I haven't been LJing lately. It's a combination of hectic Uni and Twitter, LOL XDDDDDD

Night, all!! <333333

Peace,
Rotae

OKAY. I HAS INTERNET AT HOME, YAY!!!!!!!!!!! :D Kudos to BigPond having it up when they said it would be (minus kudos for it NOT BEING DONE IMMEDIATELY, LOL).

I downloaded the new HBP trailer in HQ and holy crap, you guys. No, seriously, holy crap. HOLY CRAP. LOL. Could this film be, actually epic, despite all the fucking changes they've made??!

DARE I HOPE?!

And it also illustrated one of the reasons I just adore Tom Felton so much as Draco (and as an actor) - HE'S NOT AFRAID TO GET UGLY. LOL.

Now, I know, that sounds strange (especially come from me y/y? LOL), but what I mean is, when he's displaying emotion - he's not afraid to screw up his face, and let spit fly, AND ACTUALLY ACT. LOLOLOLOL. EMOTION IS AN UGLY THING, PEOPLE. I hate it when actors cry and they look all pretty and "I'm going to have a cry now". NO. It has to be "I'MCRYINGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLAMAFACE" XDDDDDD

SEE THE AWESOME IN HD:


So yes XD And yeah... I kinda cried a little watching this trailer ^^; Because... fuck... IT'S JUST SO EPIC. I WAS OVERWHELMED BY THE EPICNESS OF THE AWESOME.

GOING THROUGH THE TRAILER THOUGHTS (WITH SCREENCAPS):

o1. Okay, first of all: Parental Guidance Suggested for Scary Images, Some Violence, Language and MILD SENSUALITY?!!?!?!?!! AAAHAHAHAHAHAHA I FUCKING LOLED XDDDDDD We must see more of Ron and Lavender than we first thought!! Or maybe it's Ginny, that hussy! "Take my hand" INDEED!! XDDDDDD

( MOAR )

( EVEN MOAR )

o9. "I have to do this!" EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE TOM!FLAIL XDDDDD



1o. "FIGHT BACK, YOU COWARD!!" *Harry pwned* SO PRETTY. XDDDDDDDDDD



WELL. If nothing else, it's gonna be a very pretty film XDDDDD

OKAY. I think I've talked enough about it, LOL XDDDD What do you guys think? :D

OH. AND. The snakes over at hogwarts_elite nommed me for favourite Hufflepuff!! And I was the runner up! So thank you, snakies!! <333 AH WUBS JOO :D

Peace,
Rotae

Wow. No proper update in like, two weeks 0.o PHAIL, ROTAE, PHAIL.

It's been a combination of Uni related exhaustion and Twitter ^^; XDDDD

Soooo... Uni is going quite well! I handed in my first essay on Friday, and was quite confident with it, I think. I wanted to ramble on about Jedi, but I had a really constricting word limit, so I had to drop it, LOL. Had my first SIX HOUR Music lesson on Friday, which was actually quite fun. We're starting out with Primary School stuff, so we're learning clapping songs and stuff and working with guiros XD I'm also signing up for guitar lessons which will start next week! Eee!!

I start my prac next Monday but I STILL DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE :||| I'm hoping it'll be near my parents' :D So I might be up home for two weeks!! YAY!!

AND THEN. I MOVE INTO MY NEWLY BOUGHT APARTMENT :||| HO SHIT, RIGHT? It's like, three weeks away. The money went through last week, so it's all done and dusted, basically. Just more lawyers talking to each other, LOL.

Aaaaaand... I'm now friends with Tom Felton's girlfriend on Facebook :3 She seems totally cute as, LOL. And has some gorgeous (and hilarious) photos of Tom XD I think my favourite is where he's having a stern talking to with a dolphin, LOLOLOL XDDDD Obviously I'm not going to disturb their privacy, so I won't be posting anything from there - I'll just say they're totally the cutest couple EVER and leave it at that, LOL XDDDDD

Finally, I received a DISGUSTING amount of nominations for the Hufflepuff superlatives, for which I am SO FLATTERED HOMG YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

( CLICKEH FOR NOM NOM NOMS :D )

THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU GUYS HOMGGG YOU'RE TOO GOOD TO ME, SRSLY. <33 *WUBS*

OKAY. I am off to the cinema, so I really need to go - I'll get my a into g and post some more later :D BRB <333

THIS IS MY POST, HEATHER.
LOL. In-joke XD

Peace,
Rotae

So, for the past few days I've been driving my aunt's car, and LOL... it's a manual ^^; which....... I haven't driven for about five years XDDDD Oh man... I'd forgotten why I thought driving was so scary/frustrating when I first started - I WAS DRIVING A MANUAL CAR!! XDDDDD And I had a horrible teacher, I guess, LOL XD

But srsly, it's so frustrating, LOL. I've stalled so much and I keep kangaroo hopping about 20% of the time, LOL.

The worst part about it is how bad I feel for the people behind me ^^; And gosh, I don't even want to try reverse parking XDDDD It also doesn't help that I don't know these roads like the back of my hand, unlike Hobart XD

HOWEVER. I did manage to drive to the cinema and back tonight without stalling or doing too much kangaroo hopping, so that's good :D

And now for something completely different... Heroes! Was it just me or... was the newest episode... (DARE I SAY IT?!)... kinda... good? LOL. I mean, I still watch it, but it's gone downhill since series one, and this latest one... I really enjoyed!! LOL!! MOHINDER!! YAY!! PETER WAS... COOL?!?!?! WTF?!?!?! LOLOL. IT'S SO OOC!! XDDDDD I still want to punch Claire in the head, but they couldn't improve EVERYTHING, I suppose XD

Art is going... strangely. LOL. I've started to draw the HP characters in their mid-20s... and I've managed to draw Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny, but... I'm having trouble drawing Draco?! WTFFFFFFFF. LOL. I haven't had trouble drawing him for YEARS. Weird.

I'm reading two books atm too... Stardust Neil Gaiman for the hogwarts_elite bookclub, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larsson. So that's keeping me busy!

OH. And I has a meme!! From cesaretech! :D

You Scored as XIX: The Sun
This is the happiest card in the deck. It is full of joy and optimism, everything is right with the world. We are as innocent children playing in the fields without care. The Sun brings success, well-being and happiness in all spheres - material, emotional, spiritual -wherever our desires lay.When this card appears in a Tarot spread it indicates success, joy and happiness. Obstacles will be overcome, goals achieved. When badly aspected, it can indicate a stagnation through over-indulgence, too much of a good thing.

YAY!! :D LOL. I think that's pretty true to me... the good and the bad ^^; I actually had 88% with both that and II - The High Priestess. But I think this one is more me than the other (although the other had aspects of me too :D)

My main character in World of Warcraft with buttfacemakani is now up to level 33!! WOOOOO!! :D Almost half-way to 70! XD SCORE. AND AH HAS A HORSIE :3 Cept coz it's a PvP server, Horde keep killing me when I'm AFK!! WTF?! LOL. I go away to do stuff while I'm flying to Southshore/Duskwood etc and when I come back into the room, I'm dead!! LAME AS!! ... >.> ... I can't wait to do it to them XDDDDDDDD LOLOLOL. Heather's having a bad influence on me XD

We were talking about the different classes in terms of Hogwarts Houses the other day... I think that Paladins are Hufflepuffs, Rogues are Slytherins, Priests are Ravenclaws, and Hunters are Gryffindors XDDDD This is ironic because I'm the Rogue and buttfacemakani is a Paladin XDDDDD I'm trying to resist the urge to draw HP characters in WoW classes ^^; XDDDDDD

SO YES. I think that's all for me tonight... I'm going off to see if I can draw Draco, LOL ^^; WISH ME LUCK!!

Peace,
Rotae

UGH. PEOPLE ANNOY ME SO MUCH. SERIOUSLY. Not a huge amount gets me angry, but GODDAMN IT. SRSLY. What I'm specifically annoyed about is that someone has become a clone of a friend of mine, AND NOBODY ELSE SEES IT!! WTFFFFFFFFFFFFF?! Maybe I'm going mad. LOL. It wouldn't annoy me so much, but the person doesn't even TRY to hide the fact, and yet, they're loved for being a poor imitation of the original. UGHHHHH.

ANYWAY. Onto happier things... LOL. Like hogwarts_elite!! :D I managed to come second in the latest fan art contest!! Woo!! Go Hufflepuff!! :D


So, we had to draw a Harry Potter character in a "typically Muggle profession" ... so I chose MI6, LOLOLOL. WHAT?! IT'S MUGGLE! WIZARDS DON'T DO IT! XDDDDD

Not too happy with the face, but I like her body :D

AND. I made this icon for a Logo/HP crossover prompt:


LOLOL. Y'ALL KNEW IT WAS ME. DON'T DENY IT XDDDDDD

So, I was watching the seventh season of Will & Grace AND...

"Speaking of butts... I had another sex dream last night. This time I was in the shower with Barack Obama. Oh-bama... he was Bar-ocking my world." - Grace

OMFG I LOLED!!! What year is this from?! It's gotta be at least three or four now surely... WIN.

"And I finally got into the Harry Potter books! You know, I say I root for Gryffindor, but secretly, I love my Slytherin boys." - Karen

LOLOLOLOL XDDDDD

AND OMFG. MY MUM WROTE "OMG" IN AN E-MAIL!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOL. My mum is SOOOO slow with technology stuff, so her writing that is like, the most epic thing ever XDDDD

Oh, and I'm in Sydney now ^^; XDDDD Just thought I'd mention it. MY GOD IT'S HOT. DDDDDDDDDD:

Bed now :D

Peace,
Rotae

UGH. I've been downloading fucking patches for WoW for like eight hours now. UGGGGGGGGGHHHHH. With at least two to go and then probably another five. Apparently I haven't logged on since March 2008 ^^; I'm going to go through like 2GB of my 12GB monthly allowance. LOLOLOL. ^^;

buttfacemakani, you'd better play this bloody thing with me when it's finished, because otherwise I'm going to have to bitch smack you over the internet. LOLOL.

In other internet related news, I've entered 4 of the 5 hogwarts_elite contests!! Woooo!! Go Hufflepuff!! :D I'm not doing the fan fiction because... well... it's like, fan fiction and stuff... >.> LOL XDDDDD But 4/5 isn't bad, I don't think :D AND. I've Sorted everyone so far! I feel productive :D

OH. And my last entry was my 500th!! WOW!! I don't know whether to be proud or embarrassed XDDDDDD And speaking of my last entry, I got this weird comment on it. I'm wondering whether it was someone on my flist or whether it was just some random person... LOL.

Aaaaand, now I have the hiccoughs. LOL. I know how to get rid of them, but I need another person :(

I think I'm going to draw some Star Wars art :D

Strange update is strange XDDDDDD

OH. BTW. I booked my flight to Sydney D: 29th!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I'm so freaking scared it's not funny.

Peace,
Rotae

Hmmmmmmm. Okay. I think Christmas has finally stopped. LOLOL.

We had Christmas day on the 27th and it's been all go for the past three days XDDDDD Both IRL and online!

First, I'd like to thank dustthouart, cambryn (x2!), coldwriter, heartstrings and tolightacandle for being my dancing partners at the Yule ball!! I had a wonderful time, so thank you very much :D (especially after buttfacemakani STOOD ME UP!! D:< LOLOLOL XDDDDD

I entered 10 out of the 12. Ironically I didn't do the fan art, LOL. I just didn't have enough time by the end of writing essays and ficlets and I can't seem to draw today anyway :(

Okay, so, for those who asked; why we celebrate Christmas on the 27th of December:

Basically, you know how your relatives have the OTHER side of their family (sometimes that far away from YOU)? Well basically, what we say is don't worry about "whose house are we going to this year?!" - go to your other side of your family for the 25th, travel to us on the 26th, and we'll celebrate on the 27th! :D

This also has the advantage of Boxing Day sales the day BEFORE Christmas, and by the time you actually HAVE Christmas, everything is open on the day if you forget anything! It also means that the 25th is THE QUIETEST DAY EVER. It's so awesome. I spent it cooking and doing Sudokus with Dad and watching Rumpole of the Bailey with Mum before we had cauliflower curry for dinner and watched The Vicar of Dibley, LOLOL. AWESOME :D

I received lots of wonderful things from my family and friends, and I also GAVE some seriously awesome presents even if I do say so myself, LOL XDDDD I'll go into that later :D

Have some photos while you wait!! Ever wondered what Christmas in summer looks like?


These are the cherry trees in our backyard :D
( Then here you go! )

Phew! So yeah. Basically it's that, a lot of fruit (especially cherries, strawberries, watermelon and nectarines) and chocolates, watching the Boxing Day test (27th, remember? LOL) and lots of merriment and awesome :D

AND FINALLY TONIGHT (wow, long update, LOL)... some Avatar arts!! :D


(LOL, you can see where I went, "UGH STUPID HAND WHICH WAY DO I WANT YOU TO FACE ASD;LFJ;ADF;ALDJF;ALKSDF?!" LOLOL)
YAY MOAR SKETCHIES :D

So this is Ty Lee from Avatar: The Last Airbender :D I wanted to do something acrobatic, so she's pretty perfect XDDDD

It's not perfect because, again, no references, but I'm pretty happy with it overall! It was definitely outside my comfort zone, so I think I'm getting better! :D

OKAY. BED NOW. I have to get up early tomorrow so 6kittykat6 and I can go and see two movies!! LOL XDDDDD YAY TIGHT-ARSED TUESDAYS :D

If you read all that... you get an internet cookie XDDDD

Peace,
Rotae

Well, Team Tonks ended up coming second. :( AWW. WE WAS ROBBED, I TELL YOU!! LOL XDDDD To quote joannabanana23, "First is worst, second is best" LOLOL XDDDD

I have to admit I'm a little saddened. We lead all term, to lose at Hogsmeade because only four of our team participated. And that's what sucks! I KNOW that if just a couple more people had entered, we would have pwned - because we had such AWESOME people in our team!! :D

And I can't help but think it's probably my fault for not... I dunno... encouraging? Getting people involved? Whatever. OH WELL. It's all done now. Back to Hufflepuff :D I did enjoy the Team Leader thang, but it was SUPER HARD WORK, ZOMG. LOL XDDDD

ANYWAY. I did actually manage to place in things!! Woo!! :D Most of it is the stuff I've already posted...

TEAM BELLATRIX CONTEST #01 [DEATH EATER RADIO]:
01. First Place: HAHAHA. Aww, man, I feel sorry for the other two people who entered because I thought mine was SO LAME.

TEAM BELLATRIX CONTEST #02 [ICON]:
01. First Place: DUDE!! I'm so happy with that! I never place in icons at Hogsmeade!! LOL XDDDD I DID like my icon though... I spent a lot of time trying to find the right crown. The one I ended up choosing was a Celtic on with what looked like two Rs back to back, and it was bronze, so I changed the colouring of it and VOILA! :D

TEAM LUCIUS CONTEST #02 [FAN ART]:
02. Second Place: Aww, yay!! Thank you!! Hillary's was awesome AND funny, so I had no chance of actually winning that one. LOLOL. DDR. HILRIOUS. :D

All those are in this post.

OKAY. Two quick questions:

1. Just for a bit of fun, would you guys participate in a contest to win a copy of the British Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince book? I mean... even if you already have it, would you guys be interested in a little contest prompting? :D It's be art/graphics/fiction :D

2. You interested in seeing my Hogsmeade entries? :D

Peace,
Rotae

HOKAY. As a follow-up to my previous post...

For those who don't know, I put forward a contest idea for hogwarts_elite which required people to create at least THREE dance moves based on Harry Potter characters :D This was because, well, I'm lame and started to make some at Portus while we were dancing to wizard rock XDDDD

ANYWAY. I made this example for the contest:

SO. Last night at the Goth Club (Coven), I was doing them, and Erika joined in for a bit. Then later on she and Brody went off to find Jo and CJ (as they had disappeared) which left Bec and I dancing/drinking/being awesome :D So I started my Draco: The Stomp dance steps, and then Hermione: The Hair and then people started joining in with Ron: The Tall and then we just kept going - mixing it up, LOLOL XDDDDD It didn't last for a HUGE amount of time, and they were MOSTLY non-gothyish people (BUT A FEW WERE), and they didn't really know that the dance moves were HP related BUT IT STILL TOTALLY COUNTS. LOLOL XDDDD

Due to the amount of "VIDEO OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN" comments, I'll leave you with the following, which is me doing Hermione: The Hair going into Draco: The Stomp XDDDD We don't have any of other people doing them, because Bec was the one filming and she was dancing along with us, LOLOL.

I suppose this icon is actually very appropriate actually, y/y? XDDD


It's on Bec's phone, so the quality isn't too flash hot, but WHATEVS. YOU GET THE GENERAL PICTURE, Y/Y?!

ALSO. I got mah first Christmas card yesterday!!!!!!! OMFGGGGGGGGGGGG hazy_crazy!! IT'S SO EPIC, THANK YOU SO MUCH <33333333333333333333

IT'S MY 4TH ELJAY ANNIVERSARY TODAY!! WOOOOO!! ILU GUYS SO HARD.

Peace,
Rotae

I JUST GOT BACK FROM A GOTH CLUB WHERE PEOPLE JOINED IN TO MY HARRY POTTER DANCE MOVES.

IT WAS FUCKING EPIC.

Peace,
Rotae

LOLOL. Just a little animation I did of me flail!running. This is what I look like when a HP trailer or the like comes out, LOLOL XDDDDD Why yes, I am a silly person XDDDD

Not bad for my first 2D animation y/y? :D LOL. I made this animation today :3 I has a matching header too, LOLOL. AND ICON (which I shall use in flailworthy places). I doubt the header will stay, but I thought it'd be good to have up while Hogsmeade is going on :D

EEEEEE I'M SO PSYCHED. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED!!

GO TEAM TONKS. LET'S KICK SOME ARSE!!

BTW. Going to see Australia on Sunday morning with Racheal @ Gold Class!!! EEEEEEEE RECLINERS FTWWWWWWW. BAZ LURHMANN FTW. NICOLE KIDMAN FTW. HUGE JACKMAN FTW. CATHERINE MARTIN FTW. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! I'm SO PSYCHED.

I'd like to thank all of you who were kind enough to comment on my last post. You really have no idea how much it means to me <3

So far as that last entry went... it wasn't ANYTHING to do with you guys. You are SO awesome, and are a constant source of support and love that I know I can turn to. And the Snaps Cup over @ H_E was just... so amazing. Some of you guys said some really insightful stuff, and it really touched me <3

( Click for what it was about )

ANYWAY. The day after was much better, and I came back down to Hobart and saw Joshie and Erika and Tom and I felt good again <3 Except of course that seeing Josh is a reminder that he's GOING HOME (to North Carolina) NEVER TO COME BACK AGAIN!! D: Oh well. I guess it's another excuse to go back to the USA, y/y? (with stopovers in California and Texas, AMIRITE?!)

I had a job interview today with a company based in Sydney! Yay!! I think it went quite well. But they've had over 100 applicants for the one job, so I don't think I'll get it, LOL.

In some very good news, Telstra FINALLY put my new internet speeds through, ZOMG. So now it takes under an hour to download Heroes/House etc, unlike the 3.5 hours it used to take!! WOOOOOO!! <3 Still haven't received my bill from last month though (I rang them three times already!!), and it's now three weeks late!! WTF. It's not like Telstra to NOT bill someone!! LOL XDDDD

In very good LJ news, you are now colour co-ordinated on my flist, which makes it SO MUCH EASIER to keep track of who is in H_E and how I know you guys, LOL. I'll probably clean up my filters sometime this week too. AND I HAS A NEW LJ PROFILE LAYOUT ZOMGGGGGGG IZ SO PRETTY. <333333 I TOTALLY HAD IT BEFORE hazy_crazy!! LOL XDDDD GO CHECK THAT SHIT OUT :3 And gimme a hug while you're there so I know you looked ;) IZ SO PRETTY WITH THE AWESOME NEW ELJAY PROFILES :3

OH. Btw, mybabyangel's testimonial was just SO EPIC that she gets a graphic from me :3 Whaddya want, dearest? :D

ANYWAYS. I heart it. And I heart my shiny new Obama/Apple/Pacman header *ROFFLES* *FLAILS* *SPAZZES* XDDDDDD

ALSO. TOM FELTON NEWS ALL AROUND ALKDDLJF:LSDKJF:LDSKJF:LF!! ADRENALINE JUNKIE ON TOMORROW NIGHT IN THE UK!!!! EEEEE!! I'm going to be up at 8am tomorrow to watch it from someone's computer camera, LOLOL. AND.

Feltbeats.com: Have you been interested in extreme sports since the show?
Tom: Well, mildly. I mean, I walk up hills.

ROFLMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO XDDDDD I LOLED.

Feltbeats.com: Can we expect an Ozbourne/Felton collaboration any time soon?
Tom: (Laughs) No, no, not really. Not really. I’m not really one to sort of shout it. He knew I had a guitar with me, and he actually had a harmonica with him, and we were meant to have a jam, but it never really came down like that. And I’m certainly not one to sort of push my music like that. I’d rather keep it relatively low key.

ZOMG TOM YOU'RE TOO MODEST ADLKJA;LSDKFJALSDJFAL;KSJDF.

OMG YOU GUYS. I GOT INTO THE SECOND ROUND FOR AN ABC JOURNALIST CADETSHIP!! :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

THIS IS SO EPIC. I mean, I'm two more rounds away still, but LOL, I GOT THROUGH THE FIRST ROUND, WHAT?!

Clearly these people are insane. I talked about DINOSAURS in my application!! I spoke about LiveJournal!! I HAVE NEVER STUDIED JOURNALISM IN MY LIFE!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLABCWHUT?!?!!!? XDDDDDDD

Anyway, I have to go and sit an EXAM *headdesks* to make sure I'm up to writing about current affairs and stuff and GUH, writing style D: I HATE ENGLISH EXAMS, I ALWAYS SUCK AT THEM, HAHA XDDDD

OH WELL. This was epic. I got through the first round with, I'll repeat it again, NO JOURNALISM EXPERIENCE AT ALL!! I DIDN'T EVEN TAKE IT IN HIGH SCHOOL! I'VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING REMOTELY JOURNALISTIC!!

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL I AM AMUSED. THIS ARE FUNNY. And, you know, really scary. LOL. XDDDDDD

ANYWAY. Wish me luck for next Friday! :D

MOVING ON!! I has a little art thingy to show you:


IT'S FLAMEO!! THE PHOENIX!! XDDDDD
ISN'T HE CUUUUUUTE :3:D He's next to the Fire Extinguisher in case he needs to be put out :D LOLOLOL.

LOL. We had to make something crafts/HP for a contest at hogwarts_elite and this was my entry :D I didn't place, but I like him all the same!

He's made of felt - 6 pieces hand stitched together to create a ball, and then the yellow stiff felt is glued on with craft glue. And he's stuffed with cotton buds, hahahaha

And now, two memes! I don't usually post these, but they're kinda freakishly accurate 0.o

( I'm a Katherine! )

AND ZOMG YOU'RE ALL SO SHOCKED I'M A PEACE PATROLLER. I NEVER TALK ABOUT PEACE, RIGHT?! XDDD

My Liberal Identity:

You are a Peace Patroller, also known as an anti-war liberal or neo-hippie. You believe in putting an end to American imperial conquest, stopping wars that have already been lost, and supporting our troops by bringing them home.

Just a forewarning, this post is going to be going tv/politics to Avatar/Hook to art to tv/politics to politics to politics/avatars to Britishness... LOL XDDD

I love Toby Zeigler. Just sayin', LOL. I've only ever seen some random episodes of season 6 and 7 of The West Wing, so I'm totally squeeing over seeing all this new stuff :D I SO DIDN'T KNOW THAT MAKO WAS IN AN EPISODE!! LOLOL. This Japanese guy starts talking and I'm all, "ZOMG SEND IN RUF-FI-OOOOOOOOOO!!" LOLOLOL XDDDD

OKAY. ONTO ART!! :D I was kinda, uhm, overwhelmed by the response to my last post ^^; LOL. It remind me of my Mum, she LOOOOVES my portraits, but doesn't particularly think my cartoons are anything special.

It's interesting. For me, portraits are really kinda boring ^^; LOL. I mean, it's just spatial awareness, basically. You're just copying something that you're looking at. I mean, I realise it takes some skill, but once you get your spatial awareness down, and your fear of shading goes, it's just... not very interesting? LOLOL XDDDD

I find the art by buttfacemakani and cambryn and reallycorking and glockgal etc, SO AMAZING, because they have their own STYLE. And it's THEIRS. And they OWN it. UGH. Those guys just make me SO JEALOUS, LOL, because they're just so CONFIDENT with it, and CAREFREE and able to just... SCRIBBLE and make amazing pieces of art!

Whereas for me, it's because of my portraits that I'm so... constrained! That I'm never confident in just being free with it. Ugh. I dunno. Maybe I should just do portraits and be done with it, LOLOL. XDDD ANYWAY. RANDOM THOUGHTS OVER. Time for some CRACK!ARRRRRRRRRRRT!!

Meet my hogwarts_elite contest entry (that won me 1st place! WOOO!! GO TEAM TONKS!!), in which we had to cross HP with a fairytale... CINDERHARRY!

I know. You're all absolutely TERRIFIED of Dudley and Vernon. It's okay. I know. My mind is a scary, scary place XDDDDD HAHAHAHA. LOL. I so need to rent out Cinderella 3. ANYWAY. Yeah. I think it's pretty self-explanatory XDDDDD I'm insane! There you go XD

"People need hope, but they trust fear." - Heroes.

Damnit, how appropriate is that in politics? LOL. I'm so proud that my country didn't bend to Howard's scare tactics in the last election.

Btw, it might be just me... but I wouldn't want my leader (or indeed second in command) to be a Joe Blow average kinda person.

I want my leader to be, quite honestly, FUCKING STUPENDOUS.

( Click for not so much a political rant as an 'I don't want to rant, rant', LOL )

AND NOW. Onto Obama icons, LOLOLOLOL XDDD I made these yesterday along with the one in this post *points* :D RAWWWWWRRRR!! Obama's security detail? Dinosaurs courtesy of Team Tonks, LOLOL XD Yes, it IS an actual photo, I didn't add the Tyrannosaurus-Rex into it XD All pictures are from the community, obama_daily!



I love that woman with the Obama symbol, LOL XDDD She's SOOOO CUTE <3 And dude, how hot is Obamabananarama?! I mean... smart, funny, politically centre/left? That's hot enough without him ACTUALLY being that hot too XDDDDD

Believe it or not, this post WAS going to be "I totally love Toby Zeigler" and leave it at that... ^^; LOL. DAMN YOU, WEST WING. You put IDEAS into my head!! LOLOL XDDDD

Okay. So, I'm currently watching a political drama and eating Jam Fancies while drinking English Breakfast tea from a charity mug designed by Ewan McGregor. I'm so British right now... LOLOL XDDD

Peace,
Rotae

Okay, so, I have two bumper stickers on my car. One that says, "Vote 1: Bob Brown (The Greens)" and one that I picked up at Portus that says, "I'd Rather Be Playing Quidditch". And I had a bit of an encounter over them yesterday.

Me: *waiting for the light to change green*
Light: *goes green*
Other car: *goes past with bogans inside* *one leans out*
Bogan 1: THE GREENS SUCK!!
Bogan 2: *sticks his head out too* BUT HARRY POTTER ROCKS!!
Bogan 1 (to Bogan 2): OMFG STFU!
Me: LOLOLOL. *shakes head* They mightn't vote the same, but at least they're well read.

LOLOL. I was amused :D

And now, a meme! From... everyone. LOL XD I took this this afternoon though, so I failed a little, haha. I didn't get around to making an entry till 1am, haha XD

* Take a picture of yourself right now.
* Don’t change your clothes.
* Don’t fix your hair
* Just take a picture.
* Post that picture with no editing. (Except maybe to get the image size down to something reasonable. Don’t go posting an eight megapixel image.)
* Include these instructions.

YHALOTHAR!

Yeaaaaaah. Check out my AWESOME unwashed hair! And lack of make-up! It's so horrible! WOOOO!! :D


Aww, this one means so much to me <3 Thank you so much :D

( Click for the others! :D )

SO. On another hogwarts_elite note: I spent most of yesterday making my Bellatrix contest entry! :D We have to create something crafty to do with HP and take a photo of it. I'm so excited to see the entries!! It's gonna be AWESOME :D I'm also working on my Alecto entry where we have to cross HP with a fairytale. It took me like six hours (and talk with Josh) to decide on something because there SO MANY awesome possibilities :D H_E is so gonna PWN this term :D

Aaaand, my printer died :( I got an earring stuck down the back of it, and when I got it out, it decided that the paper is never properly loaded. SIGH. So I think I broke it. LOL XD FAIL.

BUT. 2 litre Farmer's Union Iced Coffee was on SPECIAL for $3 per bottle!! ZOMG!!!!!!! WINNNNNNN. :D

And finally tonight, a political meme!!

( Click for charty thingy! )

I'm totally Obamabananarama's right ear XDDDDDD WIN!!! XDDDD You can't see it in the two above, but the one where there's pictures of people in the background, I'm on his right ear :3 XDDDD

Okay. Right. Bed now *hugs*

Peace,
