So uni offers come out tonight and I will be pissed as hell if I don't get in. There's absolutely no reason I shouldn't get in... My uai was less than 2 points lower than the entry score, and since finishing highschool I have completed TWO tertiary courses, I have completed relevant work experience AND I did well on the STAT. I also submitted a very decent portfolio. Yet still, I feel completely dubious. Mostly because I didn't get a preliminary round offer, and I was under the impression that preliminary offers were for non-recent school leavers, like myself. Woe woe woe is me.
If I don't get into uni then I'll have to like... work full time. And I don't want to work full time. Even though I do like money. A lot. If I don't get into uni I will kick up such a stink that Macquarie will probably spontaneously combust. |

When life hands you lemons...
...make some fucking lemonade you lazy bitches
in 5 years time we'll all sit down with a nice cold glass of lemonade together and have a think about what type of band the gorillaz are and then try to prosecute the owner of the site. Jebus, I hate to break it to you to say: How the heck did you manage to sleep with those wrist cuffs on?...and then: takes the day off school and it was so cute, there was this one Christian girl in out class who, upon hearing the Quran's description of Jesus and his life, proceeded to comment on my awesome hoodie (: and then we went to santa monica pier. It was absolutely gorgeous and I loved it. Of course, the movie totally and completely forgot to acknowledge the fact that they had missed the vein. And then another person said that my vein had collapsed. i don't actually know what the fuck Cuba Gooding Jnr was thinking when he decided to be anal retentive and make a lot of time at Shopfront filming people rehearsing for the next 2 weeks? *snerk*
And yes, I realise the Rasmus have been around for years, but sue me, I've only heard their stuff recently and even that came up with a storyline for me? I just need a basic flimsy premise to put all my stuff in it and then I will feel as though I haven't wasted my life)Um... I went to one Raw workshop just to help out with tech and before i knew it like, half the nursepeople were crowded around me and i'm like omgwtf they sounded so much better than the jap one!!!)129. The Matrix130. Miracle131. Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Man, that has a funny ending.
Also... I need clothes for Placebo. Desperately. And they have to remove half my brain, at least I'll still have my (questionable) creativity, and I'll be flat out for the cheapest, cheesiest, sleaziest, tackiest souveneirs i can find for you guys. although i draw the line at buying you all 'god bless america' fridge magnets, i have no qualms at all with how he handled the role of Hector. He managed to be likable throughout the whole movie he just seemed to scream STATUATRY RAPE! Helen (no idea who played her) was not beautiful. Now, I know that Microsoft lost millions on the xbox). Apparently it is unheard of to make the money back on a console. So the companies have to rely singularly on games to make profit. You’d think… if they’re not making any money anyway, they could bring the price down (don’t argue with my infinite knowledge of how business works)
The article also keeps crapping on about how much better your film is than my groups film, but I don't think I did too badly. Damnit, I really wanted something that was red, white and black, since those are the Living End's colours.
The thing on the left is a bad I am making. The thing at the top of my computer and like, PIERCED MY HAND with his spikey batman ears. there is BLOOD on my hand!
Omg, ok, i want you all to imagine something for me. Imagine 3 mansions. All next to each other. Now imagine that each of these mansions is ABSOLUTELY COVERED with the CRAZIEST, GAUDIEST most OVER THE TOP christams lights you can possibly conceive. Got that image in your head? Yeah, I put too much thought into something, it just becomes kinda chunky and annoying in your head? Now imagine if the owners of the hotel to see if anybody thinks i make a good guy. w00t, sounds like fun.

So here's the thing.
I went to see 'Play!' at the opera house last week. It was amazing, out seats were great, the songs were great, the orchestra and choir and organ were great. The video clips were great.
But the thing is... when we first sat down in our seats, I noticed that somebody had left a trial edition cd of world of warcraft lying on the seat next to us. 2 week free trial, the cover said. So, being the obsessive compulsive collector of things that I am, I put it in my bag and took it home.
So anyway, today I installed it on my computer. And I played it. And now I am going to go and play it some more.
That is all. |

So what's going down all you cool cats and groovy dogs.
Been really busy with tafe BS this week vomit and I'll be flat out for the next few weeks. Been working heaps as well.
Haven't been to the gym in a while. Was chronically sick at the beginning of the week and am still getting over it.
Finally got around to seeing potc. Despite everybody bitching and moaning about how awful it is, I enjoyed it. It was fun and fast. KK was surprisingly unannoying, verging on likable. OB was his usual hilariously fine self, as was JD. I liked that all the superfluous characters seemed really fleshed out. Every character served a purpose, even the extras. One thing I didnt like was the Keith Richards cameo. Can you say unnecessary? Also, can you say confusing? When he first enters it totally gives off the impression that he is the pirate king and everybody is like wtf but then it's just like O NO it's just some guy with a map or something. And when he played the guitar, everybody just cringed with the lameness. What's worse is that Johnny Depp never even based his character off Keith Richards. It was a rumour which started back in the first movie whch Johnny thought was amusing, but denied. Since then the move execs have been milking the rumour for all it's worth. And that's what I have to say about that. So stoked about transformers.
I got a new bumper sticker for my car. A BME one.
There's been drama over at OCAU which makes me lol. ocau was always a pretty square place to hang out, but it provided just enough stimulation to keep me coming back, even if it was just to bitch about how dumb people are. Unfortunately, recently, they've fallen off their fine line, directly into the 'square, conservative and boring' ring, and I don't know if they'll come back. The peasants are revolting, but the royalty will not budge. It makes me sick when we are forced to accommodate the lowest common denominator. The internet is new media and should be treated as such. Conservatives can have their way in the real world, but the internet is ours to police as we see fit. I will not bow down to anybody's delicate sensibilities. Ever.
Finally, I bought a beanie today. It's awesome.

So, taraerin, your LiveJournal reveals...
You are... 3% unique (blame, for example, your interest in skull binding) and 13% herdlike (partly because you, like everyone else, enjoy yaoi). When it comes to friends you are normal. In terms of the way you relate to people, you are wary of trusting strangers. Your writing style (based on a recent public entry) is intellectual.
Your overall weirdness is: 27(The average level of weirdness is: 27.
You are weirder than 61% of other LJers.)
Find out what your weirdness level is!

MY CAR IS 10km SHY OF 100,000km. THIS IS CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION.
I am taking my camera with me tomorrow so I can photograph it sitting at this magical number. This may or may not be my last ever lj post, as I may or may not die tomorrow as I dangerously try to photograph my dashboard whilst driving in peak hour traffic.
Today Cam ordered some BME stickers, one of which I will be able to add to the mess of stickers already offending people on the back of my car. After that, all I will need is a new transformers sticker, and my collection will be complete. Until, of course, I fall victim to a new internet fad.
Also, my car is clean. Cam cleaned it. Awesome.
It's so lamely cold. i hate winter. HAAAAATE. GRR GRR.
Saw 28 weeks later on Thursday. I enjoyed 28 days later, so I was hoping that weeks would be decent. Well, it wasn't, it was pretty bad, but still enjoyable. The thing which made me laugh most about the movie was that the whole film was just an exercise in making america look good and Britain look bad. (some vague spoilers ahead, nothing specific)
AMERICA GOOD - America rebuilds britain, for the brits
BRITAIN DUMB - Docile Brits inexplicably return to their decrepit, filthy, disease ridden city
AMERICA GOOD - Good hardworking americans keep the pathetic, scared british safe and keep the fragile society functioning
BRITAIN DUMB - British people do... not much, really. Sleep, eat, complain, etc.
AMERICA GOOD - Americans characters are humorous and charismatic
BRITAIN DUMB - British characters are selfish, annoying and unfathomably stupid
AMERICA GOOD - Americans keep everything running smoothly
BRITAIN DUMB - British people manage to fuck things up by re-itroducing the zombie virus, despite America's best efforts
AMERICA GOOD - In a matter of minutes, America is battling to get the situation under control, in contrast to the first movie where the British did shit all and just ran around like headless chickens screaming in fear
AMERICA GOOD - 10 minute action sequence of snipers gunning down British civilians, never missing a shot,
BRITAIN DUMB - 10 minute action sequence of British civilians being gunned down my Americans
AMERICA GOOD - Selfless Americans die noble deaths trying to save innocent children.
BRITAIN DUMB - Selfish Brits refuse to help the children, instead endangering everybody in their own inept quest for survival
AMERICA GOOD - America firebombs London
BRITAIN DUMB - the zombie virus is spread all over the world anyway, thanks to one brat of a british child.
Some good moments, overall quite infuriating thanks to uncharismatic, unlikable and stupid characters.
What I am most stoked about is transformers. Want to see so bad.
My ears are crusty. It is awful. |

Today I took Camblor to get his hair cut. What I classify as his first real haircut in.... ever. We were an hour late fr the appointment because I am an idiot, but my hairdresser didn't mind. She's pretty lax about things, since she's just a crazy lady who lives down the street and cuts hair in her garage.
I am ashamed to report I had my first real blonde moment today. Whilst Cam was getting his haircut, I had to duck out to g get some money to y'know, pay for the hairdressers good and services. Since we had arrived in Cam's Bluebird, I got the keys off him and ran outside to take his car down the street to get money out. So anyway, I get to his car, pres the alarm button to turn off the alarm and nothing happens. And I'm like, hmm, so I ran back to Cam to check that I was deactivating tha alarm properly, because I was paranoid about setting it off (it is SO LOUD and obnoxious). And he's all like, yeah, it's fine, just press the button, you'll be fine. So I go back out, press the button again, I still don't hear a beep or the doors unlocking, so I figured maybe the alarm remote was broken. So I'm like, no problem, I'll just use the key to open the door. So I stick the key in the door and it doesn't want to turn. So I jiggle it around a bit and after a minute I manage to force it to turn and the lock unlocks. Then I spend another minute trying to get the key out. So I get the key out, and climb in and sit in the drivers seat. I had to move the seat back really far, because it was very far forward. I found it strange that Cam would ride with the seat so far forward when he is taller than me. Anyway, I go to put my foot on the clutch to start the car, but I can't find the clutch. No problem, I think, Cam has said his car will start without the clutch in anyway. So I reach over to make sure the car is in neutral, and I see that the gearstick is in park, and I think to myself, well that's good, I am safe to start the car without the clutch in. So I stick the key in the ignition and try to turn it. It won't turn. So I try to turn it again, still wont turn. I try for about a minute before I have a look around to see what I am doing wrong and I notice that Cam has bought some ugly new carseats
And then it dawns on me
Strange new car seats...
Driver seat too far forward
No car alarm...
Keys not turning in ignition...
No clutch...
Automatic gear stick...
I WAS IN SOMEBODY ELSES CAR.
I WAS SITTING IN A STRANGER'S AUTOMATIC SUBARU LIBERTY, TRYING TO START IT WITH THE KEYS TO CAM'S MANUAL NISSAN BLUEBIRD. WHAT THE HELL. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME. HOW DO I MAKE A MISTAKE LIKE THAT?
so needless to say, I got out pretty quickly, locked the door behind me. Had a good look around me to make sure nobody noticed, and then went and got in the correct car. I am an idiot. Oh god, it kills me. |

My mum has been hassling ne hardcore to wax/shave/burn/eradicate/whatever the hair on my legs for the past few weeks (well, she's been doing it since I was 12, but she's been really pushy the past few weeks because I will be wearing a dress in the near future) and so tonight I finally caved and waxed my legs with some of those wax strip things. And by legs, I mean leg, because I got bored after one. I;ll do the other one... later, some time. Honestly, the hair on my legs used to be blonde and sparse, I caved in and shaved them ONCE a few years ago and they've been thick and dark ever since. My mum should have just let a god thing be.
Did I mention I am wearing a dress? For the first time in... well... as long as I can remember. Please remember that I am being IRONIC and am in no way turning into a girl. I promise. It's fancy dress, and my idea of fancy dress is wearing a... dress. And hooker red heals! I know! How awesome. Expect a post within the next week of me bitching about my broken ankle.
Today at TAFE was so draining. Honestly, I feel like Joel and I are the most adjusted, capable people in the entire class. Which is stupid, since we are the only two who started TAFE fresh out of highschool. The others are old enough and have enough life experience that they should know better. Honestly, I think coming straight from highschool has helped us because we seem to be the only people who remember stuff like, in order to learn you turn up to classes, and when a tutor tells you to do something, it's quicker to do it than to bitch about it. So many kids in the class are so rude. If you don't like what is being taught, GTFO and don't ruin it for those of us who are genuinely interested, Honestly, I have no problem with students leaving the classroom, and the teachers don't have a problem with it either. It's just the kids that insist on staying and bitching and moaning that I can't handle. Also, there is one girl in my class, and I'm not naming any names, who is too dumb to function and it blows my mind every time she opens her mouth. Just, whoah.
Also, I GOT MY HAIR CUT. I am now a super sexy boogey man slayer. I've gone back blonde. I haven't been blonde for years. That said, my natural colour was nothing like what I have now. Mmmm... bleach. Motherfucker stung my head though. Still hurts.
I booked campbell man to get his hair cut. He will be so handsome when you next see him you will sex him on the spot. |

So, things are good.
I've been going to the gym as often as I can. I dropped 4kg without really trying. I was shocked and horrified. I'm currently sitting at 69kg (wtf i haven't been under 70 in forever). My goal is to stick to predominantly cardio workouts and drop down to 65, and then I want to get more into weight training and stuff and bulk back up to 70 or so. One day I will have muscle definition. One day.
I'm watching Eurovision and it's playing with my heart strings. Ukraine were my absolute favourite of the night! Honestly, not just because my family is Ukrainian, but because they were so marvellously outlandish! As Campbell said, the lead singer is like the gem sweater lady in a tin man suit. And crazy dancing men in silver jumpsuits. You can watch it here.
So far Serbia seems to be the favourite though. Which is surprising. Serbia was so... dykey. Like, it was just a butch surrounding by a bunch of femmes warbling about whatever it is that Serbian people sing about. I didn't mind it though, they would probably be my second choice. Russia outdid itself in the slutty potentially underage girls singing a highly processed pop song department.
The UK did it's first kitsch entry in awhile. They normally have very boring conservative entries. It didn't pay off though, since NOBODY HAS VOTED FOR THEM LOLOLOL. Nobody ever votes for the UK. Europe hate them.
The show opened with a performance from Lordi, which was cool. And the commentator is as bizarre and cynical as usual.
I'll stop earbashing about eurovision now.
Today I went to the footy again to sit in the OB van and get in the way. It was pretty fun. Not as hectic as I was expecting. I reckon it will be ages before they let me on the machines though. But hey, that;s how it works when you're a dumb cnut fresh out of school looking for a job. You get taken for a ride by everybody before they consider letting you do anything which would result in them having to pay you.
Oh man, the political alliances in Eurovision are hilarious.

Ok, Serbia won. They were my second choice so that's ok. |

So I'm making my first post from Manny The MacBook. I love him, I do, but the changeover is difficult. He frustrates me so much, And I don't have any 'mac' friends to pester with annoying questions about how to perform basic tasks. I thought I'd be fine since I use macs so often at TAFE, but apparently using a mac for ALL your personal needs is different to using it just to run a few programs. I know, uncanny, whoda thunk, eh?
I finally downloaded firefox and messenger, so I feel a little more at home. But I can't even find how to adjust the most basic settings on messenger... it woes me.
So like, in a nutshell...
Jobs are alright. Video Ezy is... well... the same as it's been the past 3 and a half years I've worked there. A lot of the kids at my work were friends with this kid who was killed in a horrific accident... in front of them, so I had to pick up some extra shifts last week because apparently they were too traumatised to work. Which is fair enough, I guess. I suppose. A member from our store is trying to sue us because he claims to not owe us $250 in late fees, which he does. It is hilarious. I hope he finds a lawyer stupid enough to take on his case so I can go to court and TESTIFY! How fun would it be? Super fun, is the answer you are looking for.
Domino's is also... alright. I dread it less than Video Ezy at the moment. The money is shitter, but the work is easier, so it's a pretty decent pay off. Delivering pizzas sure is... fun. I'm destroying my car though. After a 6 hour shift I'm always feeling so lazy that I keep like, mounting the curb and driving over roundabouts without really caring. Contrary to what you may believe... the meat pie pizzas are nice. MMmmm, meaty. There was a kid at my work who mentioned having a livejournal in passing. When I am done with this banal entry, I am going to use my internet skilz that kilz to try and hunt him down.
My gundam cosplay is... getting there. Slowly. I probably shouldn't even bring it up because anita will kill meeeeee....
Got chased through burwood by ETHNIC P PLATERS DRIVING A FAUX-SPORTS CAR the other night. Refer to campbells lj for more juicy details.
Also... today my L-plater little brother smashed the mighty Thor's chariot into a telegraph pole. Much lols all around. Well, from me anyway. They had to get it towed and everything. Thankfully, the almighty Thor is the most laid back cat in the universe, so he wasn't too phased. The little brother, however, was traumatised. I sense a few months before we will get him back on the road. So tomorrow, Tara the kind has donated her mighty Steed to the great Thor so that he may get to work and do whatever it is he does (mostly smiting people).
TAFE tomolo, whooooo whooooo. Party party dance dance.
Will you think less of me if i get a tattoo.... of a dinosaur?
Edit: Holy poo poo I need a new layout. Whoda thought that it would look shitty on a screen that isn't set at 600x800, like I always used to have it. |

Word up kids,
Man I'm so lazy with this thing, long gone are the days when I would update several times a day. Having a life sucks so hard.
So um... tafe has been good. Joel and I have decided we are making a musical for our end of year production. Why, I'm not sure. But we're doing it. Now all we have to do is write some songs........ Yup. Other than that, um, went and did EVS work experience with Foxtel, the other week. At the foootball. It was kinda fun. I would totally dig being an EVS operator. Except if I had to cover cricket. man, that would be the balls knees. I have another observational shift next week, so maybe I'll learn a little more. There definitely seems to be some positions available though, so I'm stoked.
My MacBook Pro arrived yesterday, which was terribly exciting. I'm officially in the poor house, but who cares, I have a mac. That said, I'm still posting from old pc of doom.
Everything about Manny the macbook seems to be in working order. The wireless internet works fine, and the knock off of final cut that... a.. friend of mine got for... below retail cost... works just fine, so I was totally stoked. So I have a mac with internet, final cut pro and and garage band! WHOO WHOO! Hooray for simple as pie music programs for my simple mind. I wouldn't mind getting pro tools sometime soon, but I need to wait til I've saved up some more cha-ching, or I befriend somebody who owns a copy.
So um... I've seen some movies recently.
300 - awful, but entertaining. I liked the rhinos and elephants and the mutant people and Xerxes and David. Xerxes was oh so pretty, even if it wasn't the hairy beast I came to know and love through 2 years of Persian history in highschool. One day I will make a movie about Persia, and how it was the greatest empire ever to grace the earth. Seriously, they're so demonised, but they had such a good thing going on. And they started the empire from scratch, which is no mean feat, unlike all the subsequent empires which rose and fell, which all cheated by simply overtaking and expanding existing empires. One day I will make a movie about my precious Cyrus and his rise to glory. Oh, how I shall rule the box office. 300 was also my first time ever at the imax. It was big, is all I can say. I am totally going back to see the DINOSAUR MOVIE.
Sunshine - I really enjoyed it. It was a good, solid, british through and through thriller. Some parts dragged a bit, but I thought it was suitably tense and interesting. And the characters were surprisingly tolerable, considering they were just fodder for space tragedies. I dare say some of them were even likable. One thing that shat me though was the fucking projector. We were sitting at the back of the cinema and all you could hear during the quiet parts was the whiiir whiiir whiiir tick tick tick of the projector. I wanted to scream.
I can't think of anything else much exciting to report on.
ANTM coming to Australia made me lol for all I am worth. |
