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. 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

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. ^^;

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

LOL. So, I'm currently watching Monty Python's Life of Brian and it got to the "BUT WHAT HAVE THE ROMANS EVER DONE FOR US?!" part, and I was reminded of that YouTube clip with the Twilight girl saying, "ZOMG HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE BREAKING DAWN, YOU LITTLE TURD?! EVEN THOUGH IT HAD THIS, THIS AND THIS WRONG WITH IT?!" (and just being stupid and giving normal Twilight fans a bad name) LOLOL. Soooooooooo... here's that scene using her words in regards to Breaking Dawn

( Read more... )

LOLOLOL XDDDDDDDDDDDD That girl really does give Twilight fans a bad name, LOL. I'm so glad the Twilight fans I know are awesome people :D

I WROTE MY FIRST E-MAIL TO PEREZ HILTON TODAY A;DLFJA;SLDKJF;ALSDJF LOLOOLOL. I FEEL SO CHEAP XDDDDD

BUT. It was for a good cause (the Avatar casting), so hopefully he posts it. I had the subject as something like, "Jesse McCartney cast as Japanese and Jackson Rathbone as Inuit?!" so it might pique some attention (I KNOW WHAT TRASHY WEBSITES WANT, OKAY??! XDDDDD).

Like I said to glockgal, I signed it, "Fumingly". I felt it was very Zukoesque. But I was POLITELY fuming, so it was a good mix :D

I've had Avatar on the brain so much, I actually drew Avatar art!! :O It's just a scribble, really, I may do something more with it, but here's season one Fail Face :D


I think it's quite good for not using a still reference or anything :D I kinda like drawing Avatar in my style... they mesh quite well!! :D I should study how they draw Avatar the next time I have an art blockage :D

Ahhhh, LOL. I've been full of so much hate and love these past couple of days. The hate is all towards the Avatar casting, the love has been from watching the TV series again *SIGH*, and also towards Star Wars and FIVE :33333333

Firstly, the Star Wars. I've been watching the new Clone Wars 3D animation TV series, and ZOMGGGGGGG I LOVE THE JEDI SO HARD SDLKJF:SLDF:LSDJF. Especially Kit Fisto and Luminara Unduli (and of course Obi-Wan, but he's not in it as much as I'd like). AND GRIEVOUS' BACK STORY STUFF *FLAIL* a;ldsjfa;lkdsjf;lafd :D WIIIIIIIIIIIIN. I just love it so hard :D Can't wait for more Obi-Wan XDDDD

And then, the FIVE. ZOMG. For those who don't know: I have just over 10 hours of FIVE songs ^^; And I think I've listened to all of it over the past couple of days. And then I made icons ^^; I made two Old School FIVE ones (you can tell they're Old School because Ritchie has his "flop" hairdo undercut thang going on, LOLOL), and a Ritchie icon that makes me SALIVATE. ZOMG. What I would let that man do to me... ^^; LOLOLOL XDDDDD

AND. I went through and tagged all my pre July 2006 entries, so now I has taggage!! YAY!! :D

ALSO. The people moved their car!! YATTA!!!!!!!!!!! MY ANGRY GLITTERY NOTE WORKED!! :D

PRODUCTIVE DAYS. I HAS THEM. KINDA.

And now... A MEME (stolen from glockgal XDDDD)

... PLAYED BY ...
I dun mind if it's looks or personality :3 LOL. Who's silly enough to play ME?!!?! LOLOLOL XDDDD

Hokay. Bed now. I have to be up in like 6 hours so I can get ready for Racheal's graduation!! YAYYYY!! FUN TIMES :D

NIGHT!! <3333

Peace,
Rotae

The rules are that for 8 days you have to post something that made you happy that day. Tag 8 people to do the same.

Day Eight:
1. My parents were in the paper today!! Woo!! Their Bed & Breakfast won Best Accommodation at the Tourism Awards :D DON'T THEY LOOK SO KEWT?! :333333 *WUBS THE PARENTS*
2. I paid my electricity/water bill.
3. A Christmas jingle came on the radio as I was driving and it put me in an excellent mood (even if it was sung by someone like Miley Cyrus or whoever)
4. I was proud of myself because I didn't buy Iced Coffee at the supermarket today (I'm trying to cut back because I'm not drinking enough water)
5. I was linked to this HILARIOUS Twilight script by coldwriter AND my friend Mel on Facebook XDDDD
6. I was looking at some iharthdarth and LOLing hard XDDD
7. I had a dream last night, and Tom Felton was in it XDDD I got to hug him, LOL. Incidentally, his jumper was made of the same fabric as my High School jumper! I guess that's because for some reason we were in the High School gym... o_O Weird, how the mind works, y/y?
8. I've finished this meme!! YAYYYY!! And I succeeded :D 8 things, for 8 days that made me happy :D

LOL. Also, I just noticed that yesterday, my mood was "apathetic" and the song I was listening to was "I Don't Care" by Fall Out Boy, LOLOLOL. I ARE AMUSED.

Hmm. I don't seem to have any news when I update everyday, LOL. Racheal is coming down for her graduation this week, so that'll be good to see her again! Then next week I'm probably going home for Christmas... and then...

SYDNEY. HOMG. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I'm so scared, LOL XDDDD

In a couple of months I'll be looking for a roomie!! D: I've never really lived with anyone other than my parents before... LOL. This should be interesting XDDDD I mean, I've shared College with 97 other people, but that doesn't really count, I don't think XD OH WELL. I think if people ask, "Do you have any questions for us" I'll have to ask, "Do you like Harry Potter?" XDDDDD That'll be like, my only requirement XDDDD

Oh. And. Things that did NOT make me happy today:
1. Firefox just kept bugging so I had to restart my computer :( LAME.
2. SOME WANKER PARKED IN MY SPOT!! For those unaware of my apartment's layout, my front door is behind a paved area where you can park your car. WHO do you think should be able to park their car there? THE PERSON WHOSE APARTMENT IT IS IN FRONT OF, DON'T YOU THINK?! THE PERSON WHO HAS BEEN PARKING THERE FOR TWO YEARS?! No. Apparently not. As it is, I have to park in between the bins now. UGH. If they're not gone by tomorrow, I'm leaving an angry note >:(

IT MAY BE COVERED IN SPARKLY GLITTER PENS, BUT THE INTENT WILL BE KNOWN!! OH YES.

ANYWAY. I am annoyed by annoying things today, LOL XDDDDD In better news, MY INTERNET WENT BACK UP, YAYYYYYYYYYYY!! This month I'm not going to spend it all on YouTube, LOLOL XDDDD ^^;

HOKAY. That's all I have, I think... except that I'm having srs art blockage :( NOT FUN. Hope you guys are having a good day!! <33333

Peace,
Rotae

2. I made some pesto and had it on toast for lunch :3
3. I had a lovely AIM chat with loads of people from artlulz :D
4. There were some super duper high res pictures of Tom Felton playing football ^^;
5. The petrol near my house (that's always SUPER expensive comparatively) was only $1.09 per litre!! OMFG. That means it's probably under a dollar somewhere!!!!!!!!!!! Only like six months ago it was $1.70!! :OOOOOO
6. I organised my iTunes!

Drive-by update. I needs mah bed. BUT. I don't want to lose a day on this bloody thing because I'll never finish it if I do XDDDD

The rules are that for 8 days you have to post something that made you happy that day. Tag 8 people to do the same.

Day Five:
1. I went down to get some chips and potato cakes for tea (Friday = take away night :D), and because of the long line at the Mako, went to the place next door, only to find that the Hot Fish and Chips Guy (HFCG) was working THERE tonight. Not only his he hot, he makes THE BEST chips omfg, srsly. And he saw me through the glass and SMILED AT ME. AND. Gave me an extra 1 1/2 potato cakes. I think it's love. <333 LOLOL XDDDD
2. I watched Moulin Rouge today. There is NOTHING about that movie that I don't like. Absolutely NOTHING. There are things about Harry Potter and Star Wars and Avatar that I don't like... but there's not one thing in Moulin Rouge that I don't heart with the heat of a thousand burning suns. The directing, the production design, the music, the script, the acting, the sound, the feel, the look, the cinematography, the costumes, the story, the characters, the philosophy, hell - even the ending. *sigh*
3. I also watched some Avatar to remind myself how awesome it was after my anger at the casting directors of the live action film. Ugh. You slay me, Airbender ;) :D
4. I came up with a plot bunny for a Scorpius/Rose story... I dunno if it'll go anywhere, but I like it :D
5. Remembered that place that apparently sells POP TARTS. HOMG. I'm so going there tomorrow to see if they have them!! I MISS POP TARTS.
6. I did some washing :3
7. misora's choices for Avatar casting (thanks glockgal!) Chiyaki Kuriyama for Mai?! FUCK YEAH!!
8. Realising that while Warner Bros are still a bunch of fucking wankers, at least they stay (relatively) true to the world of Harry Potter. LOL. Well... by comparison anyway XDDD

COMMENTS TOMORROW. ALONG WITH POP TARTS!!! NOM NOM NOM :3

Peace,
Rotae

UGH. I AM SO EFFING PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW. So, I go into Faull's shoes to get my black and gold glittery converse shoes, right? These ones (they also have a chunky gold glitter streak down the back):


But they don't have the right size. So, I ask them to order in a CONVERSE SIZE 7, specifically stating that I am a regular size 9, and thus a Converse size 7!

So. A week later they come in from Melbourne. Guess what size they are? CONVERSE SIZE 5. REGULAR 7 A;SDLFJA;LSDKFJA;LSKDJF;ALKSDJF;LK I AM SO FUCKING PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW!!

And I didn't try them on in the shop, because HELLO, ALL CONVERSE SIZES ARE THE SAME, and I didn't realise until I got home and looked at the box!! GAHHHHH. RAAAAAAAAAGE.

*FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMES* I AM IN SUCH A ZUKO MOOD RIGHT NOW. LOOK AT MY MOOD DOWN THERE!! GAH. NOW I HAVE TO TAKE THEM BACK IN AND WAIT ANOTHER WEEK!! THAT'S EVEN IF THEY HAVE THE RIGHT SIZE STILL!! FUCKING HELL. WHY DON'T PEOPLE LISTEN?! *uses appropriate icon*

GAH. I'm going to do a meme to calm myself down, LOL XDDDD

Pick six fandoms and then answer the questions below. Don't look at the questions ahead of time :P

1. Harry Potter
2. Star Wars
3. Avatar the Last Airbender
4. House M.D.
5. Heroes
6. Doctor Who

( Clickie for answers! )

Oh, and finally, I was watching Hetty Wainthropp Investigates the other day, and they had an interesting conversation on there:

Old Woman: First he sent a Padfoot, now he summons me himself.
Mrs Wainthropp: Padfoot?
Old Woman: A few nights back, I saw a man outside with a dog by the wall. I'd thrown ashes at the moon...
Mrs Wainthropp: Ashes at the moon, why?
Old Woman: If you're being haunted, it's supposed to free you from the Boggarts. Boggarts. Demon. Spirit. Devil. When your time is neigh, you see the Devil's dog, the Padfoot, so the story goes.

Interesting, y/y? XDDDD Boggarts and Padfoot and [the Grimm]!! :D

OH. And, finally added to the finally, here's the Obama Tax Cut Calculator! :D If I were American I'd get an extra $500 back plus possibly be eligible for $4000 tax credit to pay for college expenses and 50% tax credit for up to $1000 for retirement savings :D YAY!!

Peace,
Rotae

OKAY. So my team over at hogwarts_elite has been announced and... DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNN... I'm the leader of TEAM TONKS!! WOOOOO!! You guys are all super surprised. I can totally tell. LOLOL. SO. As a bit of fun tonight (while watching Midsomer Murders and Ugly Betty - LOL, different much? XDDD), I drew the following, very quickly (click for bigger pic):


YAYYYYY!! I thought that the announcement warranted a bad-arse Tonks picture! And this is what I came up with (very quickly, LOL). It's okay. Still not happy with her head, but eh, what can you do?

ALSO. I made the icon up there and this signature:

Members of my team are very welcome to take the icon and signature if they'd like to use them :D

AHHH!! Wearing those shoes is gonna be that much more awesome, because I know what they'll mean, LOLOL XDDDD Although, admittedly, Tonks would never be able to actually wear them, because hello, falling over much? (I reckon she just falls over because she's distracted by Remus, BUT WHATEVS XDDDD)

SO CHA. OH. And I made this too:

I feel that it adequately sums up my feelings XDDDD

EDIT: OH. AND. LOL. I TOTALLY WANT THIS T-SHIRT WITH EVERY FIBRE OF MY BEING :3


RIGHT. Bed now. Parents are back tomorrow!! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!! :D

Peace,
Rotae

Somehow I managed to make 12 year old Scorpius look like a young Mark Hamill 0______o I am most disturbed.

TOMORROW IS DRACO'S AND MY BIRTHDAY (technically, seeing as this is the 4th of June at 2am, LOLOL) :3333333333 YAY!!!! :D

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

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!!



*SQUISHES JOO* <3

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

I swear, I'm going to do an introduction post soon... >.> LOL. I'm just too tired atm *dies* But here's a little tidbit:

I always, absolutely always, cry in these movies:

Moulin Rouge! ("Why does my heart cry? Feelings, I can't fight. You're free to leave me, but just don't deceive me, and please, believe me when I say... 'I love you'")
V For Vendetta ("I shall die here. Every last inch of me shall perish. Except one. An inch. It's small and it's fragile and it's the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it, or sell it, or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.")
Love Actually (I cry at the freaking opening credits... >.> LOL “When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge- they were all messages of love”)
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire ("I want to see the lights leave your eyes!")
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King ("I am no man")
Big Fish At the end, where all his friends come to see him off when he's taken into the water *SOBS*
Peter Pan "I DO BELIEVE IN FAIRIES!! I DO! I DO!"
...and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

:| No, I am being completely serious about the last one.

So now I'm going to have a bit of a fan girl about Star Wars, because I'm watching it. I'm going to be making "In Kenobi We Trust" signatures for the H_E Hufflepuffs, so I was looking for some screencaps.

Okay. Here we go. Prepare for some mad explaining as to why I cry in Star Wars :D

( AND ZOMG PLO KOON?! THE MAN LOOKS LIKE HIS HEAD IS INSIDE OUT AND HIS BRAIN GOT CANCER HAD A HAEMORRHAGE... But he's just SO EFFING AWESOME. )

I also shouldn't watch debates about same-sex marriage/adoption. *shakes head* They make me so angry.

Also, ILU BOB BROWN <3

Wow. That... kinda probably took more energy than talking about myself... didn't it... >.> LOL. I'd rather fangirl/squee to be perfectly honest XD MUCH more interesting XD

AND NOW. A SCREENSHOT :D (taken a while ago - but I still have the same desktop and have had it for at least since 2005 ;) :D)


Kk. Bed now. I has work tomorrow <3 *hugs* Sorry about the squeefest XD

Peace,
Rotae

Okay... so I went and saw GoF for the 8th time... and I'm starting to notice weird things... in the "Get a move on, or all of the good ones will have gone" scene, where Snape is the coolest guy EVA, Draco is sitting next to George Weasley 0.o at the Gryffindor table 0.o ... and then, if they were studying, Gred and Feorge and Angelina aren't in H,R,Hr,D year group, so, like... WTF?!
AND... when Harry does his 'Ascendio' thing out of the water in the 2nd Task, Moody is to the left of screen... but it's not Brenden Gleeson!! It think it's his stand-in, and then, a moment later, it is him!?! WTF?!
And when Beauxbatons come in, and Seamus says "Blimey, that's one big woman", he's next to Ron, and then a moment later, he's on the other side of the table.
The TriWizard Cup moves around in the graveyard, and the "Moody" that Moody writes on the black board changes... anyway.

I also went and saw the Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. And I have two things to say:
1. Josh, did we watch the same movie?!
2. Peter, and his MANLY unicorn LMFAO!! Tee Hee!!
I was completely underwhelmed by the graphics, which on occasion looked as though they were still from 2003... the wolves weren't scary, Aslan looked dodgy when he talked, and I've found I have a HUGE problem with Narnia in general.
The girls just sat and CRIED for half the fucking battle over a lion they'd known for a day... Susan gets to fire ONE arrow into the little dwarf dude, and the only strong female character is the 'sinner', the "Queen of Narnia". The religious undertones I found to be self-righteous and male dominant to the point of my being highly offended.
There were only three saving features of this film.
1. Tilda Swinton and her costuming. She was fantastic, and I loved the way her clothing changed as she became less comfortable.
2. The boy playing Edmund. I really, really, liked Edmund. Amazing performance.
3. The Phoenix's. They, were fucking AWESOME. That, was better than anything in Lord of the Rings.

Anyway... onto Christmas.

We had Christmas on the 27th... and the biggest present that I received was... A LIGHTSABER!!! That's right, people, a metal lightsaber, with a blue blade, with SOUND EFFECTS!!!!!!! You don't have to do the ZCHOOMM... it does it for you! Including the on/off sounds!?! *is sooooo happy*
ALSO, I got HBP on audio CD, which is SOOOOO cool. And an awesome green ring (malfoy, heh). Rebecca gave me this book called "When Cats Assinate", which you will LOVE, Kate!! And Kay and Ken also got me a CAREgifts gift, which means that a gift has been given in my name to help some of the poorest people in the world... it was so lovely.

And I bought my Mum, the "House of Elliott" DVD's, which she was really excited about. I bought Emilie this really nice bracelet, and I got Rebecca a Nirvana t-shirt, which she seems to be happy with... lol. You should see her latest blog on deviantART, it's very funny.

ANYWAY... better go. Talk soon ;)

Peace,
Rotae
