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

SO. I am currently in my home town doing Professional Experience (PE) at a Primary (Elementary) School... and I'm kinda loving it more than a prospective High School teacher should, LOL. The kids are so cute and full of learning and "OMFG WOW"ness XDDDDD

As part of our assessment we have to write about our experiences and write reflectively, so I'm going to tell you about two things that happened today that probably don't interest anyone but me and my assessors when I get all my thoughts down :D

1. In maths today we were talking about fractions and where they fit on a number line between 0 and 1. They were great with 1/2, 1/4 and 3/4, but had a bit of trouble figuring out where 1/3 would be exactly in relation to the previous fractions. So we had a bit of a "think, pair, share" where they turned to their neighbour and thought about how they could figure it out. Here's what one pair said:

Boy 1: What about if we just put it half-way between 1/4 and 1/2? [a pretty reasonable guess, I thought]
Boy 2: Nah, because then that would be 3/8ths.

O___________________________________o DUDE. HOLY FUCK. LOL. That was my reaction to this. HAHA. There is NO WAY that kid should have known that. I just thought it was AWESOME that a kid could just be so casual about knowing something like that, LOL.

2. Miss Smith (not her real name, LOL) was reading a book aloud to the class (they're doing this for most of term, I think and then watching the film), and I, as usual was scribbling in my book while listening (a habit I picked up from lectures I think, LOL). A while later she came to talk to Kristen (the other Student Teacher) and I and she noticed my scribbling (it was of Draco's posture. Yes. I know. You're all so surprised. STFU. LOL) and showed it to the rest of the class 0.o

"Would you like Miss F to take you for an art lesson?"
"YES!!!!!!!!"

Here's me, TOTALLY embarrassed because, omfg, it's in PEN and scribbly and horrible and LAME and his head's on wrong and WTF WHY ARE YOU SHOWING THIS TO PEOPLE?! XDDDDDD And then Kristen saw that I was all, "NUUUUU WHUT ARE YOU DOING?!" and was like, "SHE HAS OTHER STUFF".

TRAITOR.

So I go and get my book and show the stuff that I do like (luckily I only had one naughty picture to skim over >.> LOL. Remind me not to draw FIVE slash while at school XDDDD), and I had basically the ENTIRE CLASS crowding around me going,

Me: This is Ron and Hemione
Them: FROM HARRY POTTER?!
Me: Yeah!
Them: OMG I LOVE HARRY POTTER!!
Me: And this is Katara and Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Them: OMG I LOVE AVATAR!!!
Them: MY BROTHER LOVES AVATAR!!
Them: AVATAR IS AWESOME!!
Me: And Helga and Arnold from Hey Arnold!.
Them: I USED TO WATCH THAT SHOW.

And then a little later Miss Smith saw my portrait of Tom that I'm working on, and her jaw dropped and she grabbed my book and showed it to the class, and they all went,

Students: WOW!!!!!!!
Boy: Who's that?
Miss Smith: Her boyfriend.
Kristen & I: HAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAAA.

I LOLED. HAHA. Anyway. I was amused.

So I'm thinking maybe I should teach 5/6 just to boost my ego, LOL XDDDDDD But it's great, because now they're coming up and talking to me and showing me their art and looking at me like I'm all powerful or something, ahahaha :D

So yes. I had to write those down so I don't forget :D

Night all! I have to take Maths in the morning!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MATHS FTMFW :D The class has to say, "Fractions are our friends" :D I always want to say "Fractions are our friend in the fridge" because Miss Smith is from New Zealand and that makes it funny XD

ALSO. SUPERLATIVES. HOMG. I SHALL NEED A PROPER UPDATE TO CONTAIN MYSELF. BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH HOMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. I'll update tomorrow :D *HUGS*

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

Sorry I haven't been updating or replying to stuff - things are extremely hectic atm. Sigh. The Uni had my middle name down as my last name for enrolment, so I had to go in and get it changed today (which could take a couple of days) because I need to fill out my HECS stuff to defer my fees, and then I had to go to Service Tasmania to get a form that I had to fill out and take to the Police Station so they could do a police check on me so I could go into schools and teach and now I'm not sure that I'm going to get everything in on time before my prac and a;lsdkj;alkjdfa;kdsjf;laskdjf. I have maths in an hour... which I'm still not properly enrolled for either. SIGH. LOL XD

HOWEVER.

I am in Tom Felton OVERLOAD today. First... and I can't believe I'm saying this... I think I'm going to have to get fucking Twitter because Tom made one and he's SO CUTE HOMG. LOL XD

"trying to get in to twitter...its my first day...bare with me! i'm deliberating what film to watch...legends of the fall or the notebook?"

"In bed watching The Truman show, freaked me out a bit,starting questioning everything!? Early morning tomorrow, night world x"

"Who knows what worries tomorrow could bring, so I shall not dwell in the ones I know.. But revel in the ones I dont.....x"

I LOVE THE LAST ONE SO HARD OMG. NO, SERIOUSLY, I WANT IT ON A BUMPER STICKER OR SOMETHING. Well... maybe if it were phrased a bit differently than he did in the wee hours of the morning, but whatever, LOL XD

AND. Tossing up between Legends of the Fall and The Notebook?! CLASSIC.

AND. THERE'S MORE.

He's in a new film called 13 Hours - another horror which I'm really excited about... AND... he posted a picture of him in "costume" (which is him covered in blood half naked :3333333333 - THE COLLAR BONES, JOSH, THE COLLAR BONES!!! AND THE ARM MUSCLES GUHHHHHHHHHHH. DAMNIT WHERE ARE YOU WHEN I NEED TO DROOL?!). So here it is under a cut in case your boss doesn't like half-naked-bloodied Tom Felton (how could you NOT, but idek)...

( YOU KNOW YOU WANNA )

And here's another new one which is so preeeeety SIGH:

( This one's a little big )

AND. There's a new interview with him - and he's sooooooo sweet. It's all about teenager's health. Apparently he had a problem with his lung and had to be in hospital for four days! :O You learn something new every day! :D

ANYWAY. That's it for now, I think... except for an LJ meme that Lusine created!! YAY!! Here we go:

Alphabet picture book with your icons. 'A' is for [insert icon of apple here] and so on.

A is for Apple; B is for Bellatrix; C is for Cedric;

( OH GUESS WHAT D IS, LOLOLOL )

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

Sooooooooo... update! First of all, I just have to say... Avatar casting... I'm really glad that Jesse McCartney is out. After that interview with him... wow... I mean, I gave him the benefit of the doubt, but he really didn't know anything about anything in Avatar, LOLOL. Like, less, than Jackson Dazzle.

Dev Patel is an amazing actor but... WHY ISN'T HE SOKKA?! LOLOLOL. I mean, I know he's not Inuit (I know they'd be hard to find), but... but... HE'D BE SO GOOD AS SOKKA HOMG. He was so funny in parts of Slumdog Millionaire! And Fail Face (as much as I love him) has NO SENSE OF HUMOUR. LOLOLOL XDDDDD UGH. It's an improvement. BUT IS STILL MADE OF FAIL. Maybe appropriate for Fail Face? LOLOLOL XDDDDD

THEY COULD DO WORSE:

AND THEY'VE MADE HIM ZUKO?!!!???!?!?! WTFFFFFFFF. SUCH a wasted opportunity.

I DO, however, approve of the casting of Suki!! HOMG!! DID THEY ACTUALLY GET A CASTING DECISION RIGHT?!?!?!?! You know, with the recasting of Zuko from Jesse McCartney to an Asian English actor, and now an Asian American being cast as Suki... do you... do you think they might have got some of the message? O________o DID IT ACTUALLY WORK?! I mean, it'll never be perfect because they still have three white kids in the three main roles, so... still pissed off, LOL.

I just dunno wtf the casting directors were smoking that day. Srsly.

And I keep thinking... what would happen if these kids were meant to be African American instead of Asian American? Do you really think that this casting would be deemed acceptable? Yeah. Didn't think so.

ANYWAY. On Sunday I went into town and (after getting a little lost, LOL) met up with some AWESOME people of AWESOME from MuggleSpace!! :D There were seven of us all together (MOST POWERFUL MAGICAL NUMBER, AMIRITE?!), and we went bowling and got our geek on and didn't get around to organising what we were actually meeting for; putting together a game of Quidditch, LOLOLOL XDDDD

There were two Ravenclaws, two Slytherins, two Hufflepuffs (including myself, and the other guy was a Slytherpuff too, LOLOL) and one Gryffindor! So we were pretty well rounded! Oh, and one of the Slytherins was borderline Gryffindor, so I guess she evened them out a bit more, LOL XDDDDD

( CLICKEH FOR PICCEH )

AND FINALLY tonight... a picture of me wearing my T-SHIRT OF AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I HEART IT SO HARD HOMG. As you can probably tell from my massive grin XDDDDDDD



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

My internal clock is all fucked up from staying up all last night so we could take Josh out to the airport at 6:30am. Now I've been sitting here procrastinating because I wasn't tired. But now I am. Trust me to start to get tired the MINUTE those bloody birds start chirping annoyingly outside my window, LOLOL.

Anyway, I made this icon for procrastination practise XDDD I kinda like it. I want to ask Robert if he's scared he's been typecast as "The Dead Guy" XDDDDD So it amuses me :D

Speaking of Robert, he was on the Tyra Banks show and Tyra asked Robert to bite her. O_o LOLOL. Okay, it's not creepy because it's fricken TYRA and ROBERT. So it's just totally full of LOLZ XDDDDD


( MOAR )

OH. While I'm on Dedric, I thought I'd share this picture with you. It's my desktop on my second screen, but I doubt you guys looked at that earlier. This is a picture that I took at Portus. Voldemort was the lead singer of one of the wizard rock bands and "Cedric" was just awesome. LOL. He looked SO MUCH like Robert Pattinson (and he knew it XDDD). I say "Cedric" because he was actually dressed up as Fred Weasley (despite the likeness to Dedric AND wearing Dedric's robes) - but he said he'd love to be Ced in a photo for me :3 :D

So here's Cedric showing Voldemort what he thinks of him XDDDD


And finally... I LOLed:


( MOAR BEHIND CUT )

Peace,
Rotae

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.

Sigh. *melts*

I just ate possibly THE MOST PERFECT BLT EVER BTW. Thought you guys should know. aldkfja;lkdfja;lsdjf;laksjdf ALSO. ZOMG. You HAVE to check out this guys Bacon and Chilli-Chocolate Peanut Butter on a Brioche Bun!!! HEART ATTACK ON FANCY BREAD, BUT ZOMG IT'D BE SOOOOOO GOOD... MMMMMMMMMMMMMM...

Village is having a PREVIEW SCREENING of Twilight on the 7th of December (release is the 12th for the rest of Australia) here and my cousin is coming down for it - she loves it, I HATE it, should be fun y/y? XDDDDD ALSO. I'm dressing up as a Hufflepuff to it aldkfja;lkdsjfa;lskdjf;. YOU GUYS ALL HAVE TO DO THIS TOO AND TAKE PHOTOS. AND THEN SAY LOUDLY, 'WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS ISN'T DEDRIC'S SPIN-OFF?!?!?!' XDDDDDDDD

PHEW. That is all I think!! If you got through that... well... COOKIES TO YOU, NOM NOM NOM :3 *tackles* AND.

( THIS )

Peace,
Rotae

Okay, I'm about to go and have a M*A*S*Hathon with my friend, Racheal, but I just HAD to post this absolute GEM of a picture from ITV.com:


Harry Potter actor Tom was in danger of getting out his wand for all and sundry as he braved the freezing cold muscle bath. Simply wizard!
LOOK AT THAT EXPRESSION!!! AHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *falls off chair laughing* XDDDDDD

And that TAN! MY GOD. He's not a pale pasty English boy now, is he? XDDD

*looks at picture*

*hysterical laughter*

There is so some schadenfreude going on here XDDDD *see mood picture* LOLOL XDDD

He also had a little interview (YouTubeing it):

I'm definitely a fish out of water, it's not my element at all. I do feel a little bit out of place, and I, er, am a bit under prepared for such an event, but I'm going to give it my all. And I look forward to training.

DAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. He's such a Puff ;) XDDDD

EDIT: LOL. I showed it to my Mum. I said, "Do you want to see the funniest picture you'll see all year?" She said, "Yes". I advised her to put down her tea.

She looked.

Spluttered, laughed and then asked, "Why're the DOING that to him?!" in a very shocked/horrified/amused way LOLOLOL XDDD Ahh, sport. You do amuse.

Peace,
Rotae

Peace,

I would just like to convey how crushed I am due to my own house's refusal to believe my eye witness testimony. The only people who believe me are the Gryffindors. My own house thinks I'm under the Imperius Curse, or worse, actually a Death Eater.

I was so absent from the Hogsmeade trip because I've been undertaking my internship with the Aurors all this week. That is why I was there, and I helped out in the fight.

When I saw opaleyes unmasked after she was captured, I realised that she was one of the Death Eaters I had been duelling. I cannot convey how devastated I was by this.

As she was lead away, Nikki was screaming that she was innocent, and justice would out. But I can't deny what I saw in her eyes. She was working with them. She was trying to take down Aurors. She tried to take me down.

My own Head Girl. My fellow leader. My friend.

She was heading for the Floo network. I can only assume that it was to either escape, or to get to Hogwarts.

I then spent the rest of the day helping with the ensuing chaos, and this is why I couldn't come forward earlier. I come home to find my house cold, and untrusting of me.

I fear for my school.

If you don't believe me, then fine, the truth will out. But stay strong, Hogwarts. These are fearful times, and people who are afraid do stupid things. I hope you will choose the light.

Constant vigilance.

Peace,
Rotae

*appropriate subject is appropriate* XDDDD

Thoughts about the Opening Ceremony 2008:

PREEEEEEEEEEEETY LIGHTING... :O WOW!

( Apparently I have to cut for spoilers, LOLOL. Silly US broadcasting! )

Why do all the western countries look like they're all airline stewards? Srsly. SO UNORIGINAL. And then you get all the African countries looking FABULOUS and it makes me want our flag bearer to come out in Aboriginal get-up. LOLOL.

WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT SO LONG FOR THE AUSTRALIAN TEAM?!?! We're THIRD LAST. Sort your freaking alphabet out, China. It starts with an A. LOLOL XDDDDDDDDD

Yay for Iraq getting a big round of applause :D

OH. And watching the news tonight, with Kevin07 going around China and talking flat out Mandarin with the locals was so EPICLY COOL. LOLOL. He had to do politiciany things earlier on, but instead of going high profile he went on the streets and spoke to the locals in Mandarin. AH. Go Kevin you awesome thing you :D

I'm conflicted re: George W. Bush's statements btw. I think that if you're going to be all proclaimy (and actually DO NOTHING) specifically because the spotlight is on China for something completely different, you probably shouldn't go and then use their hospitality and be all, "OH HAI. I KINDA HATE YOU BUT YAY FREE OLYMPICS". If you're gonna try and make a stance against human rights violations in China via the Olympics... DON'T GO TO THE OLYMPICS. LOLOL.

BRB. Gotta see other nation's fashions :D ALSO. I think I'm going to enter the fan art contest at H_E if I can find a scanner that works. I have an AWESOME idea :D

EDIT: KEVIN WORE HIS YELLOW HUFFLEPUFF TIE S:DFKJS:DLF:SLKFJ:LSKJFLS :D XDDDD /lameness

Peace,
Rotae

Wow. You really don't know how much your flist post until you go away for three days, right? LOLOL. 420 posts later... ^^; I'll admit it. I was skimming by the end. ^^; XD Sorry XD

LEMME KNOW IF I DESPERATELY NEED TO KNOW ANYTHING. >.> KNOW.

Blue Mountains were AWESOME, despite lack of internetz. I have a few pictures to post later! Woo!

Met up with mybabyangel in town today and saw Deception... ughhhhhhh... Ewan and Huge... in a sexay movie... ughhhhhh... *drools* AND. At the end, they crossed their names over and it said Ewan Jackman and Hugh McGregor and then they switched them around the right way and Emma and I had a giggle over possible slash XDDD SRSLY. AND. Ewan trying to... ahem... FIT into Y-Fronts, and make it look normal? HILARIOUS XDDDD I liked it! I mean, it wasn't the best movie in the world, but I definitely enjoyed it :D PLUS. HELLO?! EWAN. HUGE. SEXAY MOVIE???!! YUS PLZ. Plus, wow... the LIGHTING 8O WOW. SO PREEEEEETY!!

And then Emma and I went and had some health food for lunch ^^; >.> TOTALLY NOT McDONALDS, and went to the Queen Victoria Building and bought my cousin some Converse... had the most freaking HUMONGOUS cupofcino at Starbucks (Emma had a nicely proportioned Chai Tea Latte), and caught up on all of the H_E goss/wank XDDD FUN.

Rotae: Look at what [the Twins] did to Dudley!
Emma: But he deserved it!!
Rotae: But who are they to judge what he deserved?
Emma: >:| ...YOU'RE TOO FAIR *evil glare*

Emma (in the comments: Bloody Hufflepuffs, even being fair to Dudley Dursley...

XDDDDDDD

Oh, and we went into Angus & Robertson to see if they had Twilight for my to buy, but they didn't have it in. :( Everywhere I go doesn't seem to have it! D: MAYBE THE UNIVERSE IS TRYING TO TELL ME SOMETHING?!

Uhm... sooooo... what else... OH. ZOMG. H_E SUPERLATIVES!! YAYYYYYY!! Thanking you for all the shiny!! :D

( PREETY BANNERS )


Oh crap. I think I mentioned something about drawing something if we won this... ^^; HA. BUT WE DIDN'T WIN. WE ONLY CAME SECOND. >.> I might anyway, lololol XDDD IT'S TOO FUNNEH!!

So thank you so much to all who voted and especially to ponkie and cacophonesque for making the graphics and organising everything, respectively :D YOU R AWSUM :D *tackles*

Oooh, dinner! IT R REDDI. Say happy birthday to my grandmother, who is totally not turning 80 tomorrow :D

I AM RETERNED TRIUMPHANT. BRB. LMFAO XDDDD *tackles*

ARRRRRRRRRRRT (that isn't Harry Potter ZOMG WTF?!)


So this is Warren Clarke as Superintendent Andy Dalziel (pronounced dee-EL) from the BBC adaptation of Reginald Hill's novel series Dalziel and Pascoe.

Not really much to say about this. I drew it in the same style as my A Bit of Fry and Laurie picture here (which I think I'll colour soon, incidentally) and the coloured it in Photoshop.

I sketched Pascoe, but darn it if Colin Buchanan is just too darn classically handsome (i.e. he looks like Ewan McGregor, LOLOL) and didn't turn out well because of it. :D STRANGE LOOKING FTW!! XD

ANYWAY, yes. I love the novels, and the tv show is brilliant too. Dalziel is so gross though... LOL. Seriously. In the books he's smoking, and drinking and scratching his crotch every five minutes, hahaha :D

In icon news... my Voldemort icon won second place for shoppers over at knockturn_elite!! WOOOO!! GO FIVE MINUTE ICONS!! XDDDD LOL. Why is it that my 5 minute things win stuff, and my long, hard, thought out things don't? Do you think it's because people vote in 5 minutes? LOLOL XD This is the icon in question:


Yeah... if I could do it again, I'd make him a bit sharper, but it's okay for a quickie XD LOLOL.

HOWEVER. I DO want to explain my most recent entries in the Quidditch match against Gryffindor. The prompt was the Bohemian ideals of Truth, Beauty, Freedom and Love, and here's what I entered:


NOW. Explanations. From left to right:

Truth is Barty Crouch Jnr. When the truth hurts more than lies. I used the natural colouring of this to guide my choices for the entire thing. The colour in his background is green, and the colour on his face is yellow. I liked that because, to me, it's a very Slytherpuff thing: the honesty of doing something because you believe it is absolutely the right thing to do, even when it isn't.

Beauty is Bellatrix Lestrange. The loss of the beauty that wasn't ever deserved to begin with. The tragedy of the beautiful mad woman. Her background is blue symbolising Ravenclaw, thus intelligence, and how while she is fiercely bright, she is led by warped logic.

Bellatrix and Barty are both dark. Cedric and Harry are both light.

Freedom is Cedric Diggory. Death is the main theme of Harry Potter. JKR's mother's death completely changed the series. In Deathly Hallows, Harry is shown that those he loves are well, and safe, even in death. Dumbledore says that death is but the next great adventure. There is a certain amount of morbidity in the theme of freedom in death in Harry Potter. Cedric's background is actually yellow. Symbolising the champion of Hufflepuff.

Love is Harry Potter. Love is Harry's secret weapon. But pain comes both with love, and without it. You never lose your love for someone, even if you lose them. It may fade over time, but if you truly loved them, it will never die with them. The other prominent colour is red, symbolising Harry's love, his anger, and his Gryffindor nature.

OH FREAKING YES. I WENT ALL MORBID ON YOUR ARSES. LMFAO. No, seriously, I put a lot of effort into them, so I thought I'd explain, hahaa :D SEE. I CAN BE SRS WHEN I WANT TO BE :D *is SO not wearing her "Cheer Up Emo Kid" t-shirt* ^^; haha :D

And now for something completely different... OMFG. KEVIN07 I LOVE YOU AND YOUR WEIRD-ARSE WORLD TOUR. You jokingly salute our former leader Dubbya, you say that you're committed to a republic and there shall be debate over the next year about it just before you meet the Queen, and then you go to China, give a speech in your second language of MANDARIN and make a stand over Australia's position on Tibet EVEN THOUGH everyone knows you totally love China. YOU EFFING RULE, KEVIN. SRSLY.

I took part in the latest newspoll over a few things including approval ratings of Kevin. His approval rating is at 73% that's almost 3/4 of the effing population!!! The Opposition leader's is at 9% *SNORFLE* AND THAT'S NOT THE LOWEST RATING HE'S EVER HAD!! HAHAHAHAHA!! :D Although, I do approve of him. Like I said to amathela, I look at it like this: I'm never going to like his policies because they're Liberal Party policies. I'm never going to like anything he says, because he's the voice of the Liberal Party. And he's leading the Liberal Party the way I like... i.e. into the ground. LOL XDDDDD So I said I think he's doing a good job XD THEY DON'T NEED TO KNOW IT'S BECAUSE I WANT THEM TO SUCK!! XDDDDD

SO CHA. Off to bed now :D Yay!! Bed!! :D Ugh. Wait. I need to wash my hair first. *sigh* Bloody hair. XD ANYWAY!! Goodnight mah pretties!! *huggles*

Peace,
Rotae

UGH. ALRIGHT ALREADY. I'm renting out Season One of Doctor Who, and am going to TRY and get through it all... >.> LOL. I don't really like Nine or Rose, so it's going to be interesting, haha. I suppose Captain Jack must be in this season though, right? Because Rose doesn't make him all special in Season 2, so it must be in 1. EEE JACK :D

LOL. That seems a bit random, doesn't it? haha. There was a poll over at hogwarts_elite over whether you prefer Martha or Rose and your House, and what Houses they, and Nine and Ten, should be in, and I said I didn't like Rose and I had to admit I'd only seen a couple of episodes of Season 1. So I guess I should rectify that *sigh* >.> LOL.

In more hogwarts_elite news... I HAS SHINY BANNERS!! :D

( WOOOO!! )
I still dunno how I managed to score Stan Shunpike, but thanks for Tonks again guys *huggles* <3 *smooches* :D Also, ladylucius is my uncle Lucius, ldymusyc is my cousin Draco, vaguelyclear is my dad Ted, and buttfacemakani is my mum Andromeda AND my aunt Bellatrix. LOL. We're an interesting family, we are. Oh, and liret is my husband *smooch*

Also, us Puffs have FINALLY got our act together and managed to do Superlatives, LOLOL XD The first half of the voting went up a couple of days ago, and I got nommed for the following:

( Clickie for nomms! )

So, in summation, I LUFFS MAH BADGERS <3 THANK YOU SO MUCH ZOMG :D *tackles*

And now to completely change the subject... KEVIN07 is currently in England, and has met with the Queen and with Gordon Brown (British PM) and has now said that a referendum for Australia to become a republic will be discussed over the next year!! ZOMG!!!!!!! WHAT IF WE BECOME A REPUBLIC YAYYYYYY!! :D

And finally tonight... WTF... I know I should never watch Today Tonight, because it always gets me angry at the appalling reporting that they actually call "journalism"... but as I was defrosting my freezer tonight (LOL), I had it on... and my gosh... they're not even TRYING to show two sides to stories now!! They had this thing on about the the Summer Heights High spoof song "Naughty Girl", which is from a musical number in the TV show, about a girl dying from overdosing from Ecstasy... and they had this woman on talking about how offended she was by the word "ecstasy" and how children shouldn't even know what the word means.

I mean... okay, two things, lady. First, TALK TO YOUR CHILDREN. SRSLY. Not informing them is only going to have them grow up ignorant. Second... ECSTASY DOESN'T ONLY MEAN THE DRUG. I MEAN. WTF. It meant something else BEFORE it was a drug. If you wanna be an idiot and not talk to your kids, the least you could do is tell them what the OTHER meaning of the word is... I MEAN WTF. GAH.

And then they didn't have anyone from the ABC or any person representing the other side of the story. Fucking hell... srsly... I mean, not that I'm 100% on the other side, but the least they could do is TRY to look like they're not being one-sided.

Apartment Update: Day 1 after clean up: Still clean. Also defrosted freezer. YAY! :D *is going well* People welcome to drop by for a cuppa :D

Peace,
Rotae

Y HALO THAR MAH NU hogwarts_elite FRENZ :D *waves*

I shall be updating later tonight probably with a proper intro post (I think I still owe the last people I friended an intro still... >.> LOL), but I just thought I'd post mah loverly family tree which I did yesterday :D The idea was originally from lunylucy and then everyone did it, lolol :D


Clickie for bigger piccie! :D
YEAH! GO UNITY!! :D LOL. I'm not too sure about my grandfathers because I didn't really know either of them (one died before I was born, and the other had Alzheimer's for most of the time I can remember him), so I'm going off the impressions of my parents, mostly. I'm not too sure about my grandmother anymore. She MAY be a Ravenclaw. I'm still debating, LOLOL. It'd be cool to have one grandparent from each house, LMFAO XD All my aunts and uncles are in different houses as well. AWESOMESAUCE :D

Also not too sure about my Slytherin cousin... hmm... she's either a Slytherin or a Puff, in the same way that I am. We're pretty alike, cept she's more emo than me XDDDD And my Slytherin 2nd cousin is only like 2 1/2, but she's TOTALLY a Slytherin already. It's kinna scary XDDDD

My uncle that married into the family is THE most Hufflepuff person I've EVER met. It's RIDICULOUS how much of a Puff he is. He is the kindest person I have have ever had the privileged of meeting.

Interestingly both my parent's second houses are Hufflepuff :D And apart from my Mum and aunt, there are NO parents whose houses are the same as their children's 0.o So much for the inherited theory :D

Kk. Back to work now *sigh* :D

Peace,
Rotae

Wow. I totally fail at replying atm ^^; I'm just so tired from work, and then I forget, HAHA *fails* XDDDD

ANYWAY. Quick post to say ZOMG THANK YOU MAH LOVERLY CLAWS!!

And look! I made the precious :D


I think I'm going to make a political entry later today... things on my mind re: US election :D *goes back to work* *sigh* LOL XD

Peace,
Rotae
