Just quickly in between writing my 1500 word essay that's due in tomorrow... ^^;

Today it is exactly one month until my [and Draco's] birthday!!

Any party suggestions? :D Preferably ones that'll make my friends back home go, "OOOOH, that'll be worth the 4 hour drive!!" LOL XDDDD

Peace,
Rotae

NEWGUITARRRRRRRRLOL.
No, but seriously, this post is not feckless (LOL). I have to NAME MY GUITAR. I'm thinking something HP related.

I have sparkly HP font stickers and THEY SO NEED TO BE ON MY GUITAR NOW.

My guitar is blue (fading to black) and has steel strings. Suggestions? :D

Also, I commented to Stephen Fry about his new icon (he wasn't liking it), so I said the following and showed why being emo is hard for me XDDDDDD

@stephenfry HAHA. Aww, but now you look all MySpace emo! Totally appropriate for Twitter!! *looks at icon* Damn. I'm so not emo enough :(

@stephenfry But now I'm emo about not looking emo... SCORE!! Oh wait. Happy again. Damn, this emo stuff is HARD!! LOL.

Peace,
Rotae

OKAY. So. Still not brilliant, but doing okay now. I've been uh... coughing phlegm (sorry, I wasn't going to say it, but it is just such a brilliantly spelled word, LOL) up for like two days, and it's finally started to subside! YAY!!! :D I still haven't slept more than about four hours at a time though - I keep waking up, coughing :( I'm pretty sure *TOUCH WOOD* that it won't develop into a cold... LOL. I'm going to regret that, aren't I? XDDDDDD

ANYWAY. Point of the post is... I'm flying back to Hobart today because... I've accepted an offer to do a Bachelor of Teaching :D I'm kinda... really looking forward to it, actually! :D It's going to be hard work, but I think I'll enjoy it - and because both my parents were teachers, they can actually help with my work if I need it this time, (LOL, they weren't much help with my film/audio/computers degree, XDDDD).

Also, I have to share the following link that I snagged from reallycorking - I present TheFuckingWeather.com - truly all you'll ever need re: weather :D (Australian peeps, put in your city, a comma, and then the abbreviation of your state so: Tas, Vic, NSW, NT, SA, WA, Qld)

I also can't wait to get back home and have non-dial-up internet, LOL XDDDD I HAVE SO MUCH TO DOWNLOAD :|||| Starting with the most recent Star Wars: The Clone Wars HOMG. SRSLY YOU GUYS. I NEED MY FIX. I'M TORRENTING THE SHIT OUT OF THAT THE SECOND I WALK THROUGH MY DOOR XDDDDD Apparently fireymonk on dA actually directed the episode!! :OOOOOOOOOO SO EXCITED :333

OH. And just before I got sick last week, I had a scare with my camera when my water bottle opened in my handbag D: It got wet and was acting all weird and turning off and on and not taking photos and spazzing out - so I let it dry out and it ended up fine :D HOMG. I dunno wtf I'd do, srsly, LOL. SO. In celebration I took this picture of some of the lovely frangipanis collected from the front garden:


And because it was sooooooo hot, I had the fan going all the time, LOL. Aaaand... I wanted to prove that anyone can look like an idiot with a wind fan and a questioning expression a.k.a modelling 101, so here you go - me, trying to look like an ANTM idiot XDDDDD

( Cut to save you my mug )

LOLOLOLOL. SO. There you go :D Off to pack some more now *hugs* Wish me a boring flight <33333

Hope you guys are well :D

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

Soooooooo... I GOT AN EPIC FRINGE CUT:

DEFINE ME?
THE LIVEJOURNAL DICTIONARY MEME
I'm going to get up to date tomorrow with the comments in my last post because I'm le tired and am picking up Dom, Jeremy and Doyle tomorrow morning :D Thank you to all who commented/filled out the poll! I'm sure my address book is going to look very spiffing :D

Btw, Tom, I love your hair IRL... but... I hate drawing it. In fact, I hate drawing short hair in general. There, I said it. LOLOL.

I... uh... may or may not be drawing a portrait Tom as Draco in HBP right now... >.>

AND. Today we went Put-Put Golfing and it was awesome :D IT'S NOT CHEATING IF YOU ALL CHEAT THE SAME. XDDDD

RIGHT. BED :D

Peace,
Rotae

So... would y'all be interested in me doing the "A Week in the Life Of" meme? Or are you enjoying the silence from my end? LOLOL XDDD

Next Tuesday I go to Sydney.

The following Sunday I go to California.

O________o

DUDE. LOLOL XDDDD

ANYWAY. I HAS ART :D

"Mum, Dad, this is Scorpius..."

This was part of a gift exchange over on smrw_ficafest. I was lucky enough to get my good friend, cambryn as my recipient :D She said that she loved them as kids, and liked some Ron/Scorpius tension XDDDD

I'm sorry that Ron isn't actually IN the picture, but I'm hoping that Scorpius' EXTREMELY nervous smile is enough to convey what's going on XDDDDD Rose is all, "OH HAI GUYS, THIS IS MY NEW BFF :D", and Scorpius is all, "^^; >.> *shuffles away under towering glare from her father*" XDDDDD And who said Malfoys weren't brave?! XD

Hope you like it!!

Hmm. What else... birthday went VERY well :D I don't have a lot of pictures unfortunately, but I think that everyone had a good time :D I got some wonderful presents, and some amazing cards <3 I had one from Mel that made me cry, one from Erika that made me "AWW!!" and one from Josh that made me do this:

( I LOLED )

LOL. Suffice to say that the card with the photoshopped image of Ben Barnes' head, with my Teddy's hair, put onto a muscley man who was half naked and pouring a drink, shall never come down from my mantelpiece EVER XDDDD (I'd be rambling to him lately that Prince Caspian's face was probably the closest, structurally, to my version of Teddy's that I'd seen to date. He has my Teddy's nose, and mouth, and almost his eyes too. Cut his hair a little though XD Gosh, you know Josh is so good sometimes. He listens to me ramble a lot more than most people let me XDDDDD AND. He actually listens and doesn't smile and nod *random love to Joshie* XDDDD)

ANYWAY. Back to the party. My Dad made a speech that made me wibble, and then I had to get up and make one and burst into tears, LOLOL XDDD My Mum had to come over to me and hug me as I finished, and we were both crying, LOL. I ARE SAPPY ROTAE XDDD

OH. I had an Appletini XDDDD WINNNNN :D SO CHA. AND. I got to spend a couple of days with Mel while she was down, so that was awesome :D

ALSO. We are getting the freaking most awesome weather (I can hear Josh, Erika and Tom going, "WHAT?!" at me atm because yesterday I almost froze my arse off and I complained about it A LOT XDDDD). BUT. It's totally awesome, because it rains during the night, and you wake up to clear blue skies!! WIN!!

I have HEAPS of pictures to post (mainly of weather), but I think I'll do that separately tomorrow -er- today XD

DUDE. 10 days and I'll be in the USA. O______o is anyone else feeling the HUGENESS of that statement?! I thought I'd NEVER go to the US!!

*HUGS* Hope you're all going well :D

EDIT: Oh. And you should all go and vote in this poll over at The Leaky Lounge, because there's HEAPS of awesome entries, and they deserve more votes :D

Peace,
Rotae

TODAY, WORLD, I AM 21 [and Draco is 28 - YAY!!! his first birthday with proof he's still alive by the end of the series, LOLOLOL]!! :D

I dunno that I FEEL 21 though. I don't know whether I have experienced 7665 days on this Earth. I certainly can't remember all of them. So what proof do I have that they ever existed? 0.o I mean, if all you have of the past are your memories... what happens when you can't remember everything? Do you cease to exist because you have no proof? Does someone appear at your door and say,

"I'm sorry, but you appear to not be on our records as having remembered enough things to keep you on the physical plane. We actually believe you to be a semi-sentient form of life, which has unexpectedly turned up in our system, with only the capacity to remember 30% of your time here, and so you must be taken to a different plane of existence where there are others such as yourself... and unicorns."

I hope not.

I don't like unicorns.

ANYWAY! :D

At midnight I got to open lunylucy's wonderful e-mail that made me LOL and AWW at the same time XDDDD

( Clickie for present!! )

ISN'T IT AWESOME?!?!! :D XDDDDD LOL. I bet Draco is so glad I didn't go to school with him. Srsly. Can you IMAGINE?! XDDDDD

And now for something completely different also as awesome:

YAYYYYYYYYY OBAMAAAAAAAAAAA WINNNNNNNN :D Now make Hillary your VP :D

Our government is considering taking away that decision made by the bastard last government to not send aid to people who are pro-abortion. That is AWESOME. Come on, Steven Smith!! LOL XD

Peter Garrett is such a puppet, it's so sad. I mean, I get that he has to push the party line on the environment (being the Minister for it), and a few things haven't worked recently, so he has to make their excuses, but it's so sad to see PETER GARRETT reduced to this. He should have joined the Greens and sung through a bull-horn at the front of protests in a tye dye shirt. *sigh* LOL.

OH. That reminds me.

As well as being mine and Draco's birthday, today is WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY!! YAYYYY!! :D So do something friendly to the environment :D EAT AN APPLE :3 DON'T LET THE POOR APPLES ROT!! XDDDDD Or, you know, ride a bike to work or something XD

Hmm. Not much else to update, actually... it's my birthday party tomorrow night, which I'm totally stoked for :D I'm having a joint birthday party with one of my parent's best friends, Janet (who has the same birthday as me and is turning 50), and who is pretty much like an aunt to me :D We're having a cocktail evening with a 20s and 40s twist re: what to wear :D YAY!!

I hope you guys have an awesome day! I'm going to be cleaning for most of it, LOLOL :D Stupid messy apartment XD But tonight, 6kittykat6, jhuneycutt and I are going to go and see the Sex and the City movie, which is awesome! :D

YAY!! It's mah birthday :D I feel like I should fling some streamers or something... hmm... maybe I will XDDDD *hugs*

Peace,
Rotae

LOL @ me starting this entry before midnight so I can say...

IT'S ONE MONTH TILL MY 21st BIRTHDAY :3

LOLOLOLOLOL XD It's also one month until Draco turn... *counts*... 28!! :D Not that we have the same birthday or anything... >.> and not that I mention it AT ALL, LIKE, EVER. >.> XDDDDD BUT. It has relevance to the post (not Draco having the same birthday as me, MY birthday is the relevant thing), because...

I have DONE my half of the sorting tally, like, a couple of days ago, so that's out of the way for me once the other half is done by the lovely Jess, and to celebrate, I did a meme :D And in this meme, you have to draw yourself from when you were a teenager! :D AND I WAS A TEENAGER. And the age I turned in year 10 was 15 *is a youngin*, and it was just amusing to me that I did this while thinking about turning 21!!

So, no real relevance. Scrap that. I'm making shit up again.

ANYWAY. Here's the art XD


I still can't really draw myself. It's so frustrating. LOL. XD ANYWAY.

I was the feaking dorkiest kid from about year 5-8, but by year 10, I was secure in myself as a person, and I liked who I was (I don't think I really did before that). ANYWAY. This is me at age 15 (I've been a year younger than most of my grade forever ^^; LOL).

And... I really haven't changed much, apart from getting wider and sillier. XDDDD The wider thing may have to do with the fact that I don't play school sport anymore, or do cross-country :( LOL. But I still enjoy watching it, haha XDDDD I played soccer for two years at high school and loved it so much. I was also and Aussie Sports Leader where we took Primary School kids for sport once a week after school (I got go meet the Hawks footie club! Yay! :D They signed the back of my jumper XD).

This was the height of my music as well. That year I won "Most Promising Under 16" for piano at the Eisteddfod XD I played 1st clarinet in the school concert band, and played baritone and tenor saxophone in the stage band, depending on which was needed more in the piece, LOL. This was the year after FIVE split, which I was devastated about, obviously, but I still was obsessed. Still am, obviously XDDDDDD

I had also been in love with Ewan McGregor for liiiiiike... five years already ^^; Ritchie waaaaaas... four years and Tom was a newish addition to the love - about a year, I think? ;) XD LOLOL. Wow, this was like six years ago, guys, how pathetic is that?! XDDDDD

I was also a Student Leader (Peer Support) and vice-captain of my house (Blythe - yellow, ironically. I was also in yellow in Primary School (Oakleigh)). :D

I ended up winning the Art prize at the end of the year, and was one A- off getting the English prize too... CURSE YOU, EDWARD. LMFAO XDDDD I was such a swot. I loved all my subjects XDDDDD

Oh, and hey, just in case you guys didn't get this, that is my school uniform... >.> LOL. ^^; It's not like I wore that for fashion or anything XD

ANYWAY. I really enjoyed year 10. The only year that's beaten it since was year 12. That was AWESOME. :D This was fun. I wanna see you guys do it too :D

ALSO. Random totally love to my parents tonight. Because I was going through old photos of me and them when I was a baby to find stuff from high school, and MAN, I have great parents. Seriously. I love them SO EFFING MUCH. <3 GAH. They should win awards or something. Srsly.

It reminded me that one day at the dinner table a couple of months ago, we had people around for my parent's 35th wedding anniversary, and one of my mum's friends, who she never sees, was staring at me, and turned to my mum and said, "she even has the same hand gestures as [my dad]" and mum nodded and went, "I know." (in an "I know, it's scary, right?" way) and I looked down at my hands, and at my dad's, and we were both doing this thing with our fingernails on the inside of our palms where you start at the base of your palm with your opposite finger nails, and trail them up to the tips of your fingers. HOW COOL IS IT, THAT I PICKED THAT UP SUBCONSCIOUSLY OVER ALMOST 21 YEARS AND NEVER KNEW?!?! XDDDDD

SO WEIRD. I was thinking about that while drawing this, and thinking about growing up and stuff, and MAN. 21 is like, a drip in time. And then I started thinking about that quote from Ten where he says, "Some people live more in twenty years than others do in eighty. It's not the time that matters, it's the person.". DUDE. How right is that?! I have so much more to do with my life, but I've DONE SO MUCH AS WELL. Argh. BIG RANDOM DEEP THOUGHTS APPROACHING 21, PEOPLE. LMFAO XDDDD

*hugs* Sorry for rambling XD

DO THE MEME.

Peace,
Rotae

NEW HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIRRRRRRRR!! :D


And y'all thought I was the strange one... >.> XDDDDDD L-R jhuneycutt, me being taken from behind by the look on Buffy's face, psycoticaxemurd and papa_dont_leave :D

( Click for nice(ish) picture of Josh and I :D )

Sooooo... whaddya think of that hair? :D

I had a REALLY interesting discussion with the girl who was washing my hair as well! Her father is Palestinian, and so she spoke some Arabic, and we were talking about the complexities of languages :D Also about ancient Egypt and policing in the eastern world!! Wow! Not your regular hairdressing conversation, haha!! XD OH. And we LOLed over British comedy, and discussed favourite ABC and SBS shows :D Lovely girl!

I didn't get an especially good response to the Venture Bros style, so I'm a bit ehhhh about it. I'm still gonna do it, but I'm not sure if I'll post it, LOL. :D

And, just before I go to bed... this meme always got me REALLY paranoid when people on my flist did it... SO NOW I'M DOING IT TO YOU!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! :D

Anonymous Meme: Pick people from your flist and make statements of what you would like to say to them. Don't reveal who they are.

1. I don't know what to say to you any more.

2. You are, absolutely, one of the most amazing people I have ever had the privilege to talk to. You're SUCH a giver even when you have nothing to give. You've been given SUCH a crap go at life, but I completely have faith that you will shine through your troubles, and you will be surrounded by the friends that you deserve. I love you, even though we've never met. I care so much about you. I think about how you're doing, even if I don't always comment in your journals. And I think you're such an amazing artist and friend. You're an inspiration to me. <3

3. Oh... YOU. YES. YOU. XDDDD You know who you are. Ah man. I can't believe how you just... GET me! We're so alike it's kinda creepy, and on more than one occasion I've been freaked out by it, haha, but you're one of my best friends even if you live almost half a world away. I can't wait to meet you in July :D

4. You are SUCH an open person. Open to new things, and so willing to give things a go. You've listen to me ramble endlessly about Tom and Ritchie and Five and ACTUALLY JOINED IN, LOL XDDDD You have NO IDEA how rare you are. We haven't been friends very long, but in that time I've found you to be just so darn friendly and awesome. <3

5. You're mad. You know it. I know it. I love you for it. MAD, I TELL YOU. Can't wait to meet you either XD

6. Wow, I can't say just how generous you really are. I'm astonished by your kindness :D

7. I love your dry humour. I love that we can know each other's tone just through text. And your girlfriend is pretty darn awesome as well XD This one mightn't be so anonymous... >.> LOL XDDDD

8. I was soooooo intimidated by you when I first met you. And it wasn't ME that was the n00b!! LOL!! No, seriously, I thought you HATED me for at least the first three months of knowing you, haha!! WELL. How wrong can you GET?! You're just the sweetest person, and I think you've really flourished and grown as a person over this past... what... year? I dunno. Maybe it's just that we've become good friends, but I feel like you're more trusting than when we first met :) Love you :D

9. You're another one that I used to be intimidated by. But not any more. You're awesome, and so cute, and I LOVE your writing <3 :D

10. I don't like you. I never have. You've never liked me either, and I know it. I'm so glad we don't speak any more.

YAY! BED :D DOCTOR WHO TOMORROW WITH RACHEAL. EXCELLENT :D NIGHT!!

Peace,
Rotae

That is all. XDDDDDD *izza dork*

Peace,
Rotae

[work]

YES. I REPLIED TO STUFF. I RULE! :D YATTAH!!! :D

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT:

A conversation between myself and 6kittykat6.


Isn't it interesting how your speciality subliminally changes your conversation? XDDDD

So. This is almost what happened when my Med friend, Kate, and I were watching Season 1 of Supernatural the other week. I was commenting on how Sam just seems to appear with an Apple in Season 2, and apparently Kate thought I was talking about him growing a goitre. 0.o LOL. The only difference was that I burst into hysterics after I explained what I meant, haha :D

Ahh... communication breakdown ftw XD

Your wish is my shift-command!! XDDDD LMFAO

We were talking about blood types relating to Houses over hogwarts_elite, and it interests me! :D I already know that I can definitely steal have blood from stoopid_silly, buttfacemakani, leenielou and barelyshocking. HEEEHEHEHEHEHE. >.> :D

[Poll #1159541]

AND NOW. ANOTHER POLL!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!

vikingcarrot said that she read the Twilight series, and she was the first person I'd come across that actually gave a "meh, it was okay" opinion. I've noticed that people either loathe it, or love it, and I really know nothing about it, so after hearing Sarah's opinion, I started thinking about it. Then buttfacemakani said that SHE was going to read it just so she'd have something to say other than "coz it sounds stupid" when asked why she didn't draw its fanart. LOL XD And that got me thinking EVEN MORE as to whether I should. SO. Here's a poll.

[Poll #1159542]

[Poll #1159543]

AND NOW. Some answers to some questions. I shall have an indepth report on Ritchie vs. Tom tomorrow :D So far, all I have determined, is that I'd rather have sex with Ritchie. WHICH IS, in my opinion, a freaking BREAKTHROUGH. LOL XDDDD I can't believe I decided that! XDDD

From vaguelyclear
Favourite juice? - APPLE. ARE WE SURPRISED?! XDDDD
Favourite day of the week? - Hmm. Interesting. My LEAST favourite is Tuesday. GAH. IT'S TUESDAY ALREADY D: Uhm... my favourite would be Saturday, probably :)
Skydiving or bungee jumping? - Skydiving. Definitely. There's some primal thing inside me that goes, "DON'T YOU DARE GO HEAD FIRST OFF A BRIDGE". >.> LOL. I'd probably do it, but someone'd have to push me XD Whereas I quite like the idea of skydiving :D
Thoughts on tattoos - do you have one? Do you want to get one (if so, what?)? Do you think they are tacky and stupid (if so, why?)? - I don't have one, but I'm not against them. I don't particularly like coloured tattoos, I must say. Although my cousin does have a nice one. Ritchie has two tattoos that I REALLY like: a Celtic symbol above his left ankle, and a Chinese dragon on his left back/shoulder. I think that less is more with tattoos personally. I've seriously considered getting one a couple of times. And am seriously going to think about getting one while in the USA :)
Least favourite movie poster? - Poster? 0.o OH. I SO KNOW. THIS GOOD LUCK CHUCK POSTER. I MEAN. WTF?! BAD, PHOTOSHOP, BAD.
Movie you hate the most? - It used to be The Sixth Sense... but now it's Pearl Harbour. ZOMG. HATE WITH A FIERY PASSION LYK WHOAAAAA. *STABS* XDDDD
What kind of phone (mobile) do you have? - 0.o A Nokia? LOL XD I dunno what kind it is. It's quite old now... for a phone anyway, I guess. It's at least three years old. It was one of the first to have a colour screen... ooooooh! SO MODERN. XDDDD Before that I had a Nokia 8210 :D

From 6kittykat6
What kind of cat will you get? - Hmm. Probably a short haired one from the RSPCA :) I'm not all that fussed about colour/breed etc, but I do like short haired. Because, let's face it, I shed enough hair for the both of us XDDDDD Also, I'd love a fat cat. Well, not fat, but not those skinny ones. They're kinna scary to me. LOL. Cat's should have MEAT! :D But mainly it'll be a cat that I connect with <3 :D

From mybabyangel
Favourite Ewan McGregor scene, ever, from any of his movies - Oh wow. Talk about an epic question. LOL. Well, I am rather fond of this scene: DEFINITELY NOT WORKSAFE. LMAO. >.> ^^; Heheehehehe... also, that scene in Velvet Goldmine, where he pours oil over himself and then sprinkles glitter on as well, and then drops his dacks and jumps around? Yeah. Kinda fond of that too... >.> XDDDDD But I suppose I'd have to go with the one that made me fall in love with him, in Brassed Off all those years ago...
Gloria: Do you... want to come up for a coffee? >.>
Andy: I don't drink coffee :|
Gloria: I... haven't got any... ^^;
Andy: 0.o
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :D HE SO CUTE <3
If you could live annnyyyywheeeere, where would it be? Oooooh... I dunno! I haven't BEEN everywhere, so I don't feel as though I can make a fully informed opinion :D BUT. If I could live ANYWHERE and still do the JOB I want to do in a place I've already been, it'd be Domoszló, in Hungary :)

GAH. That took AGES zomg. *dies* BED NOW. HEE.

Peace,
Rotae

Hmmmm... I always fail at doing intros, LOLOL. Uhm... hokay. So. Here's da Rotae:



( Cut to save you flist my actual mug XD )
Damn, that is a sweet Rotae you might say... ROWNG! LMAO XDDDD Sorry. I'll stop now. Partly because I can't think of how the rest of it goes... >.>

Yes. So, I am a 20 year old female Australian. Mah birfday is the same as one Draco Malfoy (THAT'S RIGHT, BEACHES XD), which is the 5th of June. W00T GO GEMINI!! And apparently I'm pretty much ruled by Mercury in case anyone was interested LOLOL. BLAME THE MERCURY >.>

Uhm... I'm currently working full time as a place called Tero Photography as a Creative Manager (AW YEAH :D), and in December last year I graduated from University with a Bachelor of Time-Based Multimedia! No, I'm not kidding, it's a real degree XD I was the first (and only) girl to have done it! :D BOOYA!!

I am an only child (DON'T SAY "DUH" LIKE THAT. I'M NOT SELF ABSORBED >.> LOL XDDD), and I am lucky enough to have THE best parents in the world. Did you see the certificate they got for it? Totally. Last year they won best parents in the world by a vote of 1 to nill! SRSLY. It wasn't a tough contest REALLY.

Yes, I am in love with people I have never met. They are called Ewan, Ritchie and Tom.

( FANGIRL!SQUEE EXPLAINED... KINNA... )

So basically: OMGDORKFTW XD He's so awesome <3

Uhm... I am a very political person as well. *cough*OBAMA08*cough* LOLOL XD I am quite left wing liberal. Federally, I support The Greens, The Australian Democrats and The Australian Labor Party (the latter are who is currently in power after ousting the right-wing Liberal Party - no joke. False advertising, rite? LOL). In America I support Obama for a lot of reasons, that I will probably detail at some stage, LOL. So don't be surprised if I post political stuff fairly regularly.

Despite my abuse of the English language on occasion, spelling and grammar are VERY important to me. I'm a member of the Facebook group: "If You Can't Differentiate Between "Your" and "You're" You Deserve To Die" LMFAO XDDDD I'm also a supporter of the, "Apostrophe Protection Society" LOL :D Also, I like learning new words, so I either put a word I learnt, or one that relates to the post as a subject! YAY LEARNING!!

Oh, and this is how I sound :D

I AM going to Portus in Texas in July! I'm registering as soon as my friend Heather tells me what she's decided to go to LOL! My parents said that for my 21st birthday, they'd pay for my airfares to the USA!! :D So atm it looks like I'm going to be going to CA, TX and NY! :D HUZZAH!!!!! :D

Also, Harvey World Travel has an offer of $537 to New Zealand and back with unlimited mileage on a car for 7 days which I'm thinking of taking up soon, LOL :D

I play World of Warcraft as well. I'm usually on Dath' Remar as a server, so lemme know if you're on there! I WAS going to get Guild Wars as well but IT DOESN'T SUPPORT MAC!! >:( BOO HISS BOO. XD I LOVE MACINTOSH. *pets teh PowerBookG4* :D

SO CHA. That is IT for now! If you read all of that, you totally deserve a cookie XDDDD *bakes some*

Peace,
Rotae

Y HALO THAR!! :D So, there was a friending meme over at hogwarts_elite so hello to all my new friends!! W00t!! :D I guess you're all wondering, "WHO IS THIS MADMAN I SEE BEFORE ME?!" Well, I suppose I should introduce myself a little for all you scared little Padawans in the hierarchy of my journal :D

My name, as you might have cunningly noticed, is Rotae! I am 20, and I'll be 21 on the same day this year that Draco turns 28 (5th June)!! Not that I EVER promote that Draco and I have the same birthday. >.> Ever. >.> LMAO XDDDDD I am Australian, and live in Tasmania; the heart shaped island state off Australia's South-East (the one that gets left off maps in movies).

I look a little something like this:

( CLICK IF YOU DARRRRRRRRRRRE )

I smell a little something like this:

( LOL. It's only perfume, dun worry XD )

And I draw a little something like this:



Don't you like how I just segued into NEW ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT?! :D LOL.

Since you lovely Claws won the House Cup over at hogwarts_elite this term, I thought I'd draw my favourite Ravenclaw couple; Scorpius and Rose. LOL.

Soooooo... yeah. Just a really quick piece this one. Playing around with stuff :D

Kissing is so hard to draw omg, LOL.

And I totally forgot to post this on my LJ after talking about it being a thing I was doing for Christmas, LOL. *HEADDESKS*


The BBC screened a Christmas special of Doctor Who and I thought I'd get this done for then.

Basically, I'd LOVE for Ritchie Neville to be the next Doctor in Doctor Who. :D He'd be BRILLIANT at it. And Catherine Tate said that this next season was likely to be David Tennant's last. So I thought I'd draw the eleventh Doctor; Ritchie Neville :D

So here's the Doctor, with Martha (my favourite companion, as played by Freema Agyeman). HEE. I bought the complete Dr Who Series 3 the other day. IT WAS $100!!! But so worth it. It's got over 1000 minutes of footage, lol. Plus, like, you know... it's Doctor Who... >.> WITHOUT BILLIE PIPER'S CHARACTER!! YAYYYYYYY!!! LOL.

Uhm... what else... as you can see from my title, I like learning new words. My favourite words are; Crockery, Podge and Plop :D

I am a proud member of the following groups on Facebook:

I bet i can find 1 million people who dont want smoking back in pubs ▪ I am very excited about the number of women ministers/parliamentary secs. ▪ Hellyer College ▪ When I Say I'll Be There In 5 Minutes, I Actually Mean An Hour ▪ Sydney Swans ▪ Apple Students ▪ House for President ▪ Hufflepuff ▪ For all those against the proposed Bell Bay Pulp Mill ▪ If You Can't Differentiate Between "Your" and "You're" You Deserve To Die ▪ I grew up in Australia in the 90s ▪ Black Books Appreciation ▪ The Chaser APEC Gatecrashing Appreciation Society ▪ It's a small world when you're talking about Tasmania ▪ Six Degrees Of Separation - The Experiment ▪ When I was your age, Pluto was a planet. ▪ People Who Always Have To Spell Their Names For Other People ▪ FUCK OFF JAPAN... LEAVE OUR WHALES ALONE!!!! ▪ Hogwarts Elite ▪ Equal rights for gays ▪ The Chaser's War on Everything Appreciation Society ▪ I went to a public school, and I still did better than the private schools.

AND. I think that's about it for now, LOL. I'm gonna go off to bed now and sleep. Tomorrow I have a 3 1/2 hour drive ahead of me *groans*

BUT. STAND BY FOR VERY EXCITING NEWS RE: PORTUS AND AMERICA THIS YEAR!!! OMG!!!

Hope you guys are well!! :D *tackles*

Peace,
Rotae

LOL. *scurries away*



Voice posts are fun, right? You get to hear funny accents if your friends are from far, far away. All we really want is to hear your voice, we don't care what you're saying. So here's a list of typical meme questions that would otherwise be boring, but when communicated aloud - well, it's entertaining. Answer these questions in your post,and encourage others with voice-posting abilities to do the same.

1) What's your name?
2) How old are you?
3) Where are you from? Are you living there right now?
4) Is it cold where you are?
5) What's the time?
6) What are you wearing?
7) What was the last thing you listened to?
8) What was the last thing you ate?
9) What was the last thing you watched on tv?
10) What's your favorite tv show? Why?
11) Quick! Find a book, or something with text on it! Flip to a random page and read some of it! GO!
12) What was the last movie you saw? How was it?
13) Do YOU think you have an accent? Talk about that.

Peace,
Rotae

Meh. So... over the next couple of weeks (about a month really), I'll be focussing on my Uni stuff as I only have about that long until I finish (OMG). Srsly. WHERE DID THOSE 3 YEARS GO?!?!! So I mightn't be on as much. Head down, bum up, as my mother says, HAHA :D

But! I thought I'd start a meme in the mean time. A lot of people on my flist have been posting pictures lately, and I feel like the want is there for a photo meme, that lets me know a bit more about my flist :D

So, here's what we're gonna do:

Post three pictures from your childhood
The catch? All three pictures must be:

From different years
Still be representative of who you are now
Explained as to why they still represent you

Then, if you want to continue the meme, comment with one of the photos you're going to use, to this post, and explain to me why this is still a part of you!

( Okay! I'll start - Click for widdle Rotae :D )

So! GET ON WITH IT. SHOW ME YOU :D

<u>Post three pictures from your childhood</u> The catch? All three pictures must be: <ul>From different years Still be representative of who you are now Explained as to why they still represent you</ul> Then, if you want to continue the meme, comment with one of the photos you're going to use, to this post, and explain to me why this is still a part of you!

Peace,
Rotae

I so needed this icon. I'm very glad I made it. XDDDDD

I'm currently working on Scorpius/Rose art. YAY!! Among ten billion other things, LOL. I have a few things to reply to but it's like four in the morning and I'm going to write this blog and then head to bed.

First off; Luna would totally call her kid Xena. It's the perfect cross between Xenophilius and Luna... plus, like... Xena?!?! Hello?!?!! LOL.

I've been told I look like Victoire, Tonks, Susan Bones, Lavender Brown, Hannah Abbott, Millicent Bulstrode and Remus and Tonks' second child over at H_E. I have come to the conclusion that they have no idea who I look like. LMFAO. Most of the votes were for Victoire or Tonks though. Life is so hard. I either end up with Teddy or Remus. Damn. *sigh* LOL. And mybabyangel said something to me that kinda freaked me out/excited me so much. Teddy/Me/Remus. Oh yes. It's Lupincest (but like... not with them together... with ME. This is MOST important). It's "I Can't Believe it's Not Lupincest" XDDDDDDDDDDDD LOL. I can drawz pr0nz? HAHAHAHA. *dies giggling*

I'm also going away for the weekend down to Peppermint Bay with my family for my Aunt's 50th birthday. So I'll be incommunicado between Saturday and Monday probably. I mean, YAY PEPPERMINT BAY/FAMILY!! But BOO NO INTERNETZ. LOL. LOTS of drawing time :3

And speaking of family and life I just wanted to get the following off my chest as something for me to look back on in a few years and see if I've changed;

Do you know what? I am so thankful for my life. Seriously. I am so lucky to have all that I have. I have an amazing family, I have very good health (I've never had a headache and generally get a cold once a year, if that), I have hundreds of WONDERFUL friends both IRL and on the internet, I enjoy my Uni work, I really love my obsessions and find joy in them everyday, I'm well off financially, I have hobbies that totally rock... and I just love my life.

And do you know what? I like me. LOL. I know that sounds strange... but I don't feel I need another person to complete me... and I never have. If I never get married or find someone I want to be romantically attached to the rest of my life... I'm actually really okay with that. I like my own company, and can be by myself for days and not really be phased by it.

My parents have been married for almost 35 years (they were married when they were 21 and 20, which is the age I am now)... but I don't mind if I never find someone to be with like that. I mean, sure, if it happens then YAY! But... I won't feel my life has been lessened if I don't. And I don't mind that it happens at the age of 76 if that's when it happens.

As for kids? I have to say that I personally don't wanna give birth. LOL. Maybe I'll feel differently later on, but at this point in time... OW. Seriously! LOL. And I'd love a kid I adopted, or my partner's kid, just as much as I would one who carried my DNA. There are so many children already out there who could use a good home. That's right. I'm going all Angelina on your arse. LOL. Oh, and also, if I want a kid at the age of 38, and I don't have a partner... then I'll adopt one myself. I feel it's something I could definitely do on my own.

[EDIT: I just randomly woke up and feel I forgot this. And, if I fall in love with a woman, btw, I'd be okay with that too. I can't say women are my taste at this point in my life, but if I fell in love with a woman, I wouldn't feel uncomfortable/shocked/horrified/have a problem with it. I believe that love crosses all kinds of boundaries, which just become unimportant in the face of its power.]

I don't think I could honestly, at this point in time, write a blog entry that is down. Unless someone I'm really close to dies... I'm generally okay with whatever life flings at me (not that it's flung much ever, really). And I am so thankful for it. I'm so happy with my life, I feel kinda bad about it. LOL. XDDDD I wish I could share the happiness sometimes, ya know? Make my world a little less good and fling some happiness someone else's way who really needs it.

I have a family whom I love to absolute bits (my parents are THE MOST wonderful people I know), and friends likewise... I have good health, no huge troubles in my life (apart from trying to keep my pot plant (Ian Zacharius) alive, which is a CONSTANT struggle, LOL), and I'm totally optimistic about where my life is heading.

I'm strong, opinionated, argumentative, obsessive, enthusiastic, slightly insane, hyperactive, intelligent, fuzzy, artistic, musical, stubborn, accepting, a Jedi, chocoholic, spaz, loving and I am happy.

This is me. Watch me soar. :D

...

So that would be a good place to end it, all dramatic and statementy-like... but OMG I'M UP TO THE PART WHERE WARREN SHOOTS BUFFY AND TARA AND OMG *flails* I LOVE SEASON SIX SO MUCH!!! AHHHHHH!!! *creates buffy tag* I need Jossverse icons.

Is it a coincidence that Book 6 of HP and Season 6 of Buffy are my favourites, and Book 3 and Season 3 are my second favourites? I THINK NOT. XDDDD This is the "spaz", "obsessive", "hyperactive", "enthusiastic" and "slightly insane" traits working atm. LMFAO

Love you guys. *huggles*

Peace,
Rotae
