#066 - IRL Update
Aug. 4th, 2010 12:21 pmSo. Pressure's starting to mount. The dreaded QCS test is drawing ever closer, I'm beginning to drown in my schoolwork, it's the middle of fucking winter, and the WESTERLY WINDS HAVE STARTED UP, making going outside nigh on suicidal, as the temperatures drop up to twenty degrees celsius (!) when the wind chill kicks in, even if it's a sunny day. Wait, no, especially if it's a sunny day with not a cloud in the sky. Dammit.
In other news, we got our practise QCS tests back, and... Multiple Choice (MC) wasn't too bad, Short Response (SR) was fucking horrific
I'll put up a new post with more info later today, probably around 6PM-ish (GMT+10.00).

#057 - News from IRL
May. 28th, 2010 10:19 amWell hai thar. I'm currently in Biol, and am bored out of mai braiiiiiin, and so decided to give you an update as to where I am in life.
I'm about to head into my third-last exam block of high school, and am facing a Biol, Ancient, and two French exams, as well as French listening and an English oral. The week after that, I have an ITS major project due (It's on creative writing, funnily enough), and then I have a QCS mock exam. So, there is only one acronym that I can use to sum up my situation.
FML
I have a bit of backlog in really old stuff that I'll post... sometime... maybe soon-ish... but I'm probably not going to post much new stuff until the holidays, which, praise be to ceiling cat!, are only three and a half weeks away! And I have a month off! YAYAYAYAYAY! *flails madly with joy GLEE*
Oh, and sorry for me playing around with my tags. Just wanted to shake it up a bit.
I don't think the government should have the right to censor the media, however, the media need to learn to recognise when they have taken things too far, and step back. This is really the reason why I will watch only the ABC news I live in Australia, as they take all care to try and report news with as little spin or bias as possible.
The censoring of the interwebz, on the other hand, should, I believe, be done by parents, on a house-by-house basis. Oh, I realise that the government reallllly does want to be our nanny, looking over our shoulder at any given moment, blocking what they think is bad, but I believe that the vast majority of people think that this is a crap idea.
Block porn? Imagine the uproar! Sure, some sites should be deleted FOREVAAAAARRRRRR, but that is because they are genuinely disgusting and scarring and terrible. The government needs to realise that people make their own lifestyle choices, and that they (the bureaucrats) can't change that.
#049 - Blrub for no rael raisin.
May. 20th, 2010 02:49 pmSQUEEEEEEEEE! The Eleventh Doctor is made of smart and hot and funny and WHY ISN’T HE REAL. D: CE N’EST PAS JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSTE.
Obligatory squee over, I have actually got to limit the number of TV series I watch these days. Thanks to fandomsecrets , I now want to watch Glee, Supernatural, and a bunch of other stuff. On a related tangent, last night I got lost in fandom, for the first time in a long while. I just sat down, hunted through el jay, ended up on
capslock_bleach , went to
aizome ‘s journal, went down a few different tangents, and ended up on
ship_manifesto , where I read a Glee manifesto on the ship of Winn (Will/Finn), and then I found fanfiction. Hilarity ensued, as did the wasting of my evening, coincidentally. As a result, I am now a hardcore Winn shipper. Also, I stalked devART and ganked loads of Renji
pr0n pics, stole icons of Stephen Fry <3 , and read another manifesto on the Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi (Kyon/Haruhi). MOAR HILARITY.
God, I’m such a loserface. I did no homework. FANDOM IS GOING TO MAKE ME FAIL SCHOOL, SO CRY MOAR, ANON./fandomsecrets
#047 - Writer's Block: Tolerance 101?
May. 17th, 2010 04:25 pmI think it would be Etiquette 101. How to eat food politely and correctly, conversation starters, what to wear, what not to wear, that sort of thing. Also, I'd teach them how to dance things like the waltz, bush dances, maybe some Latin. After all, dancing is a fun pastime!
Also, Creative Writing 101. Or Non Fiction Writing 101. Or Journalism 101. Good writing skills are essential to surviving in this day and age, and can help to increase the probability of getting a good job. Also, literacy is good! READ MOAR, KIDS! :D
I LOOOOOOOVE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET./is a writer of it, therefore, obligatoire.
But no, seriously, I read more fanfics these day than I read actual books. CRY MOAR, BOOKWORM. I just don't have the time to read as heavily as I used to, and this annoys me. So, fanfic. Easily accessible, and sometimes, as well written, or more so, than some of the books I've read.
I cannot rewatch the Dark Crystal now. Loved it when I was younger, but... Now? Just, no. I can't make myself do it.
AS AN ASIDE: WTF is up with lj today? Nothing seems to be working.... D:
EDIT: Fixed up some spelling errors and formatting fail. Seems that lj isn't the only thing that's nonfunctional today....
#041 - Hetalia Headcanon - Australia
May. 11th, 2010 11:46 am![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
What is your cracky headcanon for Hetalia?
I immediately thought of Australia, and how he doesn't have much backstory, and THIS ensued!
( Australia has many hidden talents, at least, he does in my head! )
I may do more countries in the future... if I get bored enough...! c:
Gonna cut this for... reasons. Yeah. >>'
( Cut for plot and rambling. Actually, a lack of plolt, and a fair bit of rambling. So... yeah. )
I wasn't joking when I said I had loads to do. Plus I'm a Senior student trying valiantly to pass all my assessments. Great joy.
