Writer's Block: If these walls could talk

2009-11-12T12:56:18Z

Would you rent or buy the home of your dreams if a brutal murder had taken place there? What if you got to live there rent-free? Would you think twice if neighbors warned you that it was haunted?

Probably not. As much as it may be the home of my dreams I'm sure I could find another house I loved. Although the rent-free part is slightly tempting. Though I guess you could always call in a Priest or someone to exorcise the house. But as a general, I say no. I've seen too much Supernatural/other horror movies to know that this would be an idea. To quote Dean: 'When someone says a place is haunted, don't go in.'

If you could pick any TV show that has been off the air to come back for one more season, which show would you pick and why?

Hm, no thought necessary. It would have to be Firefly. Such a shiny show with so much potential. I mean, a Western in space...who'd a thunk it =)

New Layout =)

2008-05-30T11:51:22Z

Finally after what's been..about two years...I've changed my layout. The theme was picked from my magic hat because I got so many suggestions from my friends aswell as ones of my own. I love Hodgins and Zack. They're antics made me laugh. XD. And after watching the S3 finale last night and feeling sad because of it, it made me smile =)

Those pesky unicorns are surfing silver moonbeams...again..

2007-12-19T17:16:48Z

Feel tired today. I was up late last night. On the plus side I didn't have to work this evening which means I can eat nice hot food rather than a sandwich.

*Listens to sister shouting*

That's not good. Two weeks ago we were putting up the Xmas tree. One minute my dad was fine and the next he was speaking gibberish and talking about sausages. After taking him to Accident and Emergency and an evaluation from the Doctor's they seem to think he had had a mini-stroke. It's been two weeks now and he seems better. Still a bit fuzzy with certain things but hopefully it was a one off. He just needs to relax. But yes, to those that wondered where I'd been the last few weeks now you know. Dad was sick.

Hm. And the unicorns. I have no clue. They've just..entered my converstains a lot lately.

Fudge

2007-12-19T00:18:54Z

I be cold. That's what I want to start with. Although it's not suprising since it's the middle of Decemeber. And Christmas a week away. My how quickly it has flown.

I haven't updated this in a while mostly because I've been so busy. And things lately haven't been overly fantastic.

I've passed my driving test so I can now legally drive on the roads of Britain with no 'L' plates. What a fab feeling that is to know. I saw this little Corsa and we were going to get it (me and my mum) but after some discussion she decided she was going to keep the golf as my dad's car needed some work on it and that instead I would go on the insurance and can drive that. It's a nice car still. It has no power resistant steering so I am struggling a bit parking and stuff but if I keep practising in it I should get used to it =D It's a little 1991 car too so it's not modern but it's got character. And....a cassette player. Which is..bad. Lol. I have some cassette tapes somewhere which I made up for my camping trip (I took my old walkman incase I dropped my MP3 player.) There is no point buying a new stereo for it because it would most probably be worth more that the car itself. Actually, no it wouldn't but it doesn't seem worth it. Had to giggle though because in the Season 1 companion to SPN there is a bit written by Sam entitled: 22 Reasons Not To On A Road Trip With My Brother. And at the top of the list is: His car only plays cassettes. Seriously. Which is rather similar to what my sister told me when I asked her to get some tapes from her work (one of a few places you can find them) so I could record some of my fave tracks on to them. Although I did start my music list of things to add. But there have now been three 'Driving Anthem' CD's advertised on tv. It must be a sign!!

What was more interesting however was that my test was scheduled for 15th November at 9.38am. I wanted that time to miss the rush hour traffic. My friend in Wales was due to take her test mid October but the test centre sent her a letter rearranging it to the 15th November at 8.20am. We thought it was amusing that we were taking them on the same day a week apart. But no. A week before my test I received a letter through the post telling me my test was cancelled and was rearranged to: 15th November at 8.20am! That was freaky. Like a Freaky Friday but it was a Thursday so not like a freaky Friday. Anyway, we both passed, my driving instructor was her driving instructor when she lived here before her big move to Wales and we just found it out. I guess it was a sign. Or something.

And I haven't been watching Supernatural much lately either. Been to busy with work and studying.

And my journal is like this until I can be bothered to work through the code and make the header nice again in IE *kicks IE* It looks fine in Firefox but not IE. Although I do have another idea for another layout. But I like this one. That's if my LJ survives as I have been thinking of getting rid of it. Out with the old and in with the new as they say.

And one last thing. Or quote. As I do like my quotes. Taken from the latest episode, A Very Supernatural Christmas it was one of Dean's one liner's that tickled me. He and Sam are tied to chairs and well, they're in a spot of bother. You have to watch the bit to understand but he gets scoulded for swearing and is told that a good word to use if you need the urge to swear is fudge. So.

Dean: "You fudgen' touch me again, I'll fugden' kill you."

It is amusing and always reminds me of getting told off when I let slip the odd swear word which you didn't quite realise was a bad word to say andbeing told to say 'fudge' or 'knickers' instead. But yes, fudge is good. And I now have the urge to invest in some tasty fudge from the old sweet shop in town. Which at 00.14 is going to be a pretty difficult thing to do.

EDIT: Yes! I can use my layout again *dances* Apparently that pesky little site preview thing was throwing the layout out of line which was why all the layouts were going iggly piggly. But yay!!!

I wear the cheese...

2007-09-20T21:58:16Z

Methinks I may just have a mini rant. A rather mini random rant that's annoyed me a bit....little?......say a lot. It is rather petty though. But I was surfing the web as I do, and I got something for 2008 calendars. At this I kinda scoffed and went for the 'But it's still only freakin' September'' line. So curiosity got the better of me (and yes, we all know it kills the cat) but you know, I wondered what calendar I might be able to acquire for next year as I like to vary it from year to year. Saying that, before this year which was a dophin themed one and 2006 which featured fantasy pictures, the rest had pretty much been Buffy/Angel orientated. With a Monty Python one thrown in too. Actually, I think in 2006 I had a Buffy one and the fantasy one. Just because I could =P And it kept business away from pleasure. Hee hee. Anyhoo, my point which I shall finally get to is that I found one that I wouldn't mind getting *cough* Supernatural *cough*. Only issue is...it's not avaliable in the UK. And many sites seldom ship to the UK from the US. There is...one site I've found but my card won't work on that. And I'm kinda not planning to go over to the US anytime seeing as my trip to New York this year already kinda failed. *Damn you people with no passports -Shakes fist- * And the only options I have left are either a) Pester anyone I know that is planning to head over there anytime soon b) Pester any of my friends that don't mind using their card or whatever on the site and let me owe them c) Pester anyone I know in the US to get it, send it to me and I send money to them which is kinda of a rather big thing to ask. I can't just go to them 'Can you do me a favour' because it's a big one to ask. D) Just forget about it...... D seems to pretty much be the option at the moment. E) is the 'Hope some UK shop or site gets hold of it and I can get it from there' but that's a kinda 'I wouldn't hold my breath' thing. Failing that I'll probably be going back to the normal Buffy calendar. Or maybe a groovy movie one.....

On another note, a few months ago I was appealing for Lucky Charms. Well, I went to London in August with my friend and I found some. However, they were...pricey to say the least. It cost, for a box, £6!!! I mean...I love them but I'm not sure I love them enough to spend £6 on a box...Still that emigrating plan still seems such a nice idea...

Boston...

2007-08-24T19:33:29Z

Right now I'm listening to my Boston album, and some of the lyrics to some of the songs pretty much relate to me right now in one form or another. For example:

'Now if you're feelin' kinda low 'bout the dues you've been paying, future's comin' much too slow. And you wanna run but somehow you just keep on stayin', can't decide on which way to go.' - Peace Of Mind

'Sail on - on a distant highway, I've got to keep on chasin' a dream.' - Foreplay/Longtime

'It's a bright horizon and I'm awakin' now, oh I see myself in a brand new way.' - Don't Look Back

Pretty much sums up how I feel at the moment...

Musings, Potter And Stars...

2007-07-23T21:31:57Z

Hm, I really don't know what to right because at this moment, I have many many many things running through my hyperactive and somewhat childish mind.

Firstly YIPPPEEEE!! College finished Thursday *thanks anyone and everybody* I need a break. Hee. Kind of ironic really but after having studied and been in education for 16 years or so of my life (I started um, Reception when I was five, attended Playschool before that and have been in compulsory ed and college etc since) I think I just need a um, break. That and the fact I was up until 1.30am this morning finishing off this damn blast Psychology assignment which perhaps I should have finished earlier in the week. But I didn't. C'est la vie and all that jazz.

I'm currently supposed to be writing up my PI chat article for the PI Times (over at Pink Imoen - check it out if you haven't =D ) but I have a rather bad case of Writer's Block, the nasty disease that strikes us all from time to time. I'm sure I'll think of something in the next hour that's fun for the members to read. Nothing a bit of Supermassive Black Hole by Muse won't help solve.

Currenting musings that are also running through my head is Season 3 of Supernatural. After two months (S2 ended on my 21st birthday, but at least Sam lived. Whoop!) I'm having withdrawal symptoms. Because tv over here in the UK is rather...poo. That and we get the decent American shows like, many months later. So I'm considering emmigrating over there. Not just for the tv because I'm not a big tv fan. But they have Rootbeer..and Lucky Charms. Which I love, but which are not sold over here...often. Rootbeer you can get if you know where to look..and that means a trip down to London to the Australian/New Zealand/Canadian food store in the Covent Garden area. Lucky Charms? No clue. But perhaps someone would send me some *puppy dog eyes* I guess I should go back to my original point...I'm having withdrawal symptoms which is kind of..odd because normally I can function pretty well without new episodes. I think I'm just kind of anxious. Rumour has it two new hunters (who are female) are going to be introduced which I think is a sucky idea, although it really depends on how often they appear. Someone said it was 'Regular' but it depends on thei definition of 'regular' - "I'll have a regular fries and coke with that, please." But, in my personal opinion its always been about the WInchesters and the YED and their family and the people they meet along the way and adding more regular characters would take it away from that. Listen to me! Bitch fest!! I just don't want it to go the same way I felt Buffy went by the end of it. I felt it had lost the plot a bit. I guess on the plus side, ITV are now showing it so I can just watch that late on Friday nights if I'm at home.

I've been reading a lot over the last two days. Someone I work with leant me the Dark Angel books on Friday which she had to import from the US. Then, Harry Potter was released on Saturday, and while I'm not one of these fans that are like *scream scream scream queue for hours in the rain* I wanted to read it. It's odd because I read the first book when I was in middle school as it was on our reading list of things we had to read, so for it to now be over is kind of odd. And makes me realise how old I am! Bearing in mind I had to work Saturday and Sunday, I've managed to finish one Dark Angel book and I'm about two thirds of the way through the second, and I've also finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Speaking of which...for those that don't want to know what happened, look away now...

Well, I thought it was a good book. But in my opinion...it might have been better to have split it up into two books..or have made it a bit longer. Because I felt that it was rushed at times. Although I think 'The Wedding' chapter was rather pointless and not altogether needed. Not really sure what else to write though. Just..read it. XD

And I have a glittery spade to go with the glittery blue Star bucket Morgan bought me the other day. Whoot!

Well for one, they're cassette tapes...

2007-07-13T15:12:42Z

Today I did my 'mock' Driving Test, which in theory is a dry run of the real thing. Suprisingly enough, I did much better then I thought I would, and if I iron out some of the kinks I had, I should pass with no problem what so ever. I have two months to iron out those kinks so I better get cracking. The 'examiner' (a.k.a someone I've never driven with before and thereby not my normal instructor) said that my manouvres (my turn in the road and parallel park) where done 'really really well' and that I 'kept calm even when some cars decided to be impatient and sit there'. So, after this, what I would deem to be 'good' news, I've decided to put together a list of music that I'd want to drive too. Currently it's entitled 'List Of Songs For Driving' which is somewhat unimaginitive and predictable, so I will in the near future come up with a 'funky' name. Only problem is, the car I will most likely be driving still has a cassette player (Ha!) and I don't think my mum can really be bothered to change it for a CD one like my dad did. And can you even get cassette tapes anymore? I have no clue. Might be able to get some from Curry's or somewhere like that. If not, I'll have to either find some old tapes and record over them or visit an antiques shop =P (Yes that last one was a joke. Hee). I could use my MP3 player but a) It's not an iPod so I'd have to find someway to hook it up and b) That would be too much hassle so I may as well put some songs onto a tape. Again, the thing with tapes is...how long they are. So this is currently my 'List Of Songs For Driving'.

So..a rather..large selection of songs from artists I..like..a lot. Only thing is..that is so not going to fit on one tape...maybe six...and possibly sixty CD's =P

Oo, I also decided not to change my LJ layout but spruce it up instead. Everything is now black/red/white - the fandom icons and I even made some little white and red stars to separate everything *squee* Although, I'm pondering as to whether or not to get a new LJ account as I really want to start it a new.

Quote Of The Day

This quote was largely chosen because of my whole 'music and cassette tape dilemma.' And it made me smile. =) Actually, that one always does. Unfortunetely, it also appears to be a mirror image of mine and my sisters relationship.

Sam: I swear man you've gotta update your cassette tape collection.
Dean: Why?
Sam: Well for one, they're cassette tapes. And two. Black Sabbath? Motorhead? Metallica? It's the greatest hits of mullet rock.
Dean: House rules Sammy. Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole.

Supernatural: Pilot

We Pillage, We Plunder, We Rifle And Loot......

2007-06-21T21:15:46Z

Well, life has been erm..interesting lately. Actually, I feel that would be a complete and utter lie. Because it's been...dull(ish). Exams are over *whooot* well, until next year at least. Work's been lacking and boring when I've been there. It appears that extra hours allocated to weekend staff keep going to the same people over and over again which is somewhat annoying. I on the other hand tend to get stuck with the bank holidays, that, although they pay time and a half, also means that I miss out on doing fun things with my friends, boyfriend and family, who don't actually have to work that day. Pfft. That's about as much as I can muster.

Staying with Steph was oober fun (Squiffyknees). We ate way too much sugary substance the Saturday night and decided to watch Mean Girls as it was on the devil box, aka, the tv. Shame that while we were in High School we didn't think of doing any of that stuff to the bullies. It would have made it more interesting I feel. Alas, we turned out alright despite the bullying and crap because we're good people. And we didn't get pregnant after leaving High School. They say what goes around comes around. I guess it did =| After watching that we had a Firefly-athon in which we watch several episodes of..Firefly. And oogling the eye candy *whistles innocently*

We also went and saw Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End earlier that day too. Which was good. Some of it I thought was unnecessary. But it was still good. Although, a lot of people said before hand that it's hard to keep up with because things bounce backwards and forwards and get confusing. I for one didn't find this in the slightest - which could mean many a thing. The only thing I found hard to keep up with was the numb feeling that made its way down my legs and back after a couple of hours. That and the latest levents happening in the lives of the people sitting next to me. Overall, it was an awesome film. Even if my icecream lastest about 5 minutes into the trailers before the film. It's not my favourite out of the three. I think that has to be the first one. And I didn't like the way the second one ended. Although, admittedly, Will Turner has grown on me since the first film (perhaps it's the eyeliner?). Ok, so he wasn't so Pirate-y in the first one so perhaps it's the fact he made that transition to um..Pirate. I did think it was a bit harsh when Davy Jones stabbed him in the heart however *shakes fist in mob fashion*. Still love Jack...and he did the right thing for once at the end sacrifcing what he wanted which was nice. And Elizabeth - she annoyed me more this time around..although I did like the 'Hello, King' bit. XD.

And despite the butt numbing length, I went and saw it again with my boyfriend...which was rather amusing. Because first time I saw it on a Saturday afternoon in Norwich and there were no young children (by young children I mean under the age of 16), but when I went Satruday morning in Chelmsford it was more like a creche. The thing that annoyed me most was the ignorant brats that thought it was fun to throw popcorn everywhere and talk through the movie. And the parents who took there younger children (er, I'd say, aged ten tops) to see it and cover their kids eyes when for example Davy Jones decides to suck the guy - whose - name - I - can't - remember brain's out. It was rated a 12A here (anyone under the age of 12 can only go in with an adult). In the old system, I'm guessing it would be a straight 12..which would probably have been better. But at least we got an interval this time so I could stand there for 15 minutes and glare at them wholeheartedly.

Er...I also stayed at Steph's a couple of other nights too. Again we watched Firefly but ate less sugar because last time I was buzzing until 5am in the morning. And had to be up for work too. Which is never good. Especially the sugar crash that followed. But we watched stuff, and Buffy: Once More With Feeling and relived the old times when we knew and sang it all the time in particular in sociology. Ahh, the good old days.

Um....what else...*ponders* Ah, I throught of a career - I want to do set design in film and tv. I think I'd be good at that somehow. That's if I don't do well in my chemistry which remains to be seen.

Saw Morgan. He's good. I miss him like crazy though. We've lived in different parts of the country for almost a year now (well, we did it before but not like this). We see each other once a month if we're lucky. But it's made me realise that I love him very much and I don't want to lose him. We've been together four and a half years which is a long time. And I know there are plenty more fish in the sea, but I love him and even if we don't go out with one another anymore depending how things go, I still want him in my life. He makes me happy.

So I shall leave you with some quotes:

Dean: Bitch
Sam: What're you calling me a bitch for?
Dean: You're supposed to say "jerk"
Sam: What?
Dean: Nevermind

Dean talking to AU Sam in What Is And What Should Never Be.

Guess you have to understand what's gone on in S1 and the rest of S2 to understand, but it was funny when I watched it.

Jack Sparrow: Utterly deceptive twaddle speak says I.

'Captain' Jack Sparrow: POTC: At World's End

Has to be one of my favourite ones of the movie..and one that I've since used while I've been on a rambling spree.

2007-05-31T17:48:58Z

Yes, I'm doing some essential mantainance work to my blog...actually, I'm not. I'm just updating, adding stuff and changing things around. Not sure what to do about the layout. I've had it for a year and I'm not sure if I want to change it. Any thoughts/suggestions, then feel free to comment and post.

Well, let's see, first things first, Team Paperclip's head quarters and adventures are now online. Check it out. Username is below:

team_paperclip

Yes, Squiffy and Psy's adventures and calamities are now online for all to see. =)

Oo, Squiffy gave me my Ninja Kitty. Complete with paperclip weaponary too. However, her's is still lost in the post somewhere. Kidnapped by Pie-rates no doubt. We did have a few meaningful conversations about explosive cherry pies last night...as well as many many meaningful ones about the joys and pains that men are. Looking forward to this weekend though. I'm off to stay with Squiffy for a few days and we're going to havea rather large Firefly/Serenity session while munching on Jaffa Cakes and Icecream. Although, I do have a feeling we'll be too busy plotting the take over of the Ea...I mean, er, discussing the plotline of it. And we also have stolen Jaffa Cakes from Kyle and his little friend whom never actually asked for them back. I have magic fingers. I stole them (along with the Jam Tarts) from underneath their noses. Muahahahahahahaha =P

And, I have taken one step closer to being able to drive the Pap Mobile without L plates. Tuesday, I passed my Driving Thoery Test. I was, very very very....worried. But I needn't have been. Because I passed it. Much better then I thought. Full marks on the multiple choice and 62/75 on the hazard perception. So, next stop..the world! Muahaha.

Quotes Of The Day

"Hey, see if they've got any pie...Bring me some Pie!...Love me some pie"

- Dean Winchester - Supernatural (All Hell Breaks Loose Pt 1)

(Proving that, not only does Psy, Squiffy and Weebl and Bob love pie, but that Dean does too!)

"I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar."

- Wash: Serenity

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

- Dr Seuss

(One of my favourites. Because it's very true.)

Go, Psy! GO!

2007-05-25T20:24:06Z

Ha. So, Psy The Super Spy is in business with her Pink Paperclip partner sidekick Squiffy knees (see pics in previous post). So beware us. Muahaha. And the Ninja Kitty. Squiffy Knees got her Ninja kitty today and it's evil twin should be arriving in the post very very soon. Unless, as I suspect, it has been ninjcanapped by the Pie loving Pirates...also known (according to Squiffy's sources) as The Pie-rates *dumdumdummmmm* To the Pap mobile! AWAY!

So yes, Ninja-Kitty V.1

Cute. Deadly. Cunningly Disguised. Yet stylishly cute. Muahahahaha. And as of the moment, nameless. But yes, we shall overcome that small problem of a name detail..thing. And all shall be well though unless Ninja Kitty and Ninja Kitty's evil clone fall out and fight with each other. Fur will fly. Meow!

On a slightly more serious note, I have my driving theory test on Tuesday. And I am quite worried that I won't pass. Actually, there's a 50/50 chance that I will/won't. Because that's what my average is so far *breathes* In my mind at least. Yes, because humming Highway To Hell by AC/DC will help a lot =/ Or maybe the Ebay song *sings* "I am the type who is liable to snipe you, with two seconds left to go, whoaaaa"

What more is there left to say except:

PIE!

(Hee, I always liked the stick one. Typical Dean would do it too..if he had a stick XD)

Fun, laughter and lots of cake!

2007-05-16T21:54:24Z

I have to admit, I haven't posted here in, well, a good couple of months. I haven't even updated my site either. Or posted on forums as much as I used too. I've just had so much to do that I haven't had the time. If it's not revision, it's coursework, if it's not that, it's work or something else. And I pretty much feel worn out. But that might have something to do with the partying I've done over the last few days =)

On Saturday my sister turned 18. Which is odd because she's my lil sis and isn't quite my lil sis anymore. I mean, for starters she's like, an inch taller then me, which is better then 5inches. And now she's like drinking legally and drinks more then me. But yeah, Saturday was fun. Even though I had a few two many glasses of wine before 5pm. But hell, the ginger wine was so worth it =P

We went out to dinner which was fun. And oo, drama of the evening: my nan nearly cut my arm open with a steak knife. She was too busy waving it around and caught my arm. Didn't bleed but left a rather large stingy scratch. So lesson of the day: Do not let old people use sharp cutlery. Make them use spoons instead even if cutting up steak.

Let's see. Oo, tomorrow I'll be 21 *hides* Getting old. Lol.

Last night though, we went to the pub and my friends got me a cake with Eeyore on it (I'll post some pics at the end) And there were candles and party hats and it was a complete suprise. I mean, I knew about the pub but not the cake and hats. Was a good giggle. Then me and Steph and my sis and Foster and Nigel went down the the bowling alley and played on some of the arcade style games and pool. Me and Steph played on the Dance Dance Revoution machine for a good 30mins plus and really felt it this morning. Lol. My legs killed. Is my old arthritic hip! And us girls beat the guys at pool. Lol. And we rode motorcycles and played air hockey and shot zombies so all in all was an eventful fun night XD

Me blowing out my candles...

My rather large paperclip

"Eat My Gun Biatch" - Us playing House Of Dead...posing a bit too though. XD

The sound of memories..

2007-03-29T20:12:37Z

So I'm not up to much. College finishes tomorrow for two weeks for Easter. Which is good because I just feel so lethargic and fed up. And I don't think it's just college. I've got too much on my mind and it's frustrating me and making me feel crappy. But meh, that's life I guess.

Listening to random music and its taken me back to this time...almost I guess...so April, May..June in the flat last year when everything began to go rather pear shaped with the whole Nicole situation. But at the same time I have some rather fun memories. And the songs just remind me of the summer when I would watch the end of the season of SPN on youtube all the time and stare at it in disbelief and how I'd walk down by the river and eat strawberries and raspberries and stuff. Lol. And how me and Laura would have a good natter most nights, and the wine and movie nights and how on one of the lasts days in the flat we played 'Piggy In The Middle' with icecube ball things.

I guess they just make me feel all mixed emotionally. Especially because I moved back home and left Uni because I didn't want to continue with the course. Sometimes I wish I did but it wasn't for me. Although by now I should be finishing...in the next..month or so..I just guess that in reality I'm scared of leaving again because I have rebuilt my life here. I have friends - old and new - and I haven't been this happy in a while...still not overly happy but I'm happier then I was before. And if I did want to pursue forensics I'd have to leave Norwich and my friends all behind again. Which is something but seeing as I want to move to Canada I should really in reality be ok with it. But I'm not. I guess because it means starting again. Knowing no-one, making new friends, scared of being rejected. Meh. I don't know. Lol. Listen at me being all..mopey.

Hee. Might go do some drawing. . Pass away the time until Supernatural comes on. At 11.30pm..but I missed it Sunday as I had coursework to do. It's Crossroad Blues which is a good episode: not my favourite by a long shot but not my most hated one of the season *waves fist at ELAC* yeah, didn't like that one...bloody clowns!

Demonic dust bunnies...

2007-03-05T22:12:33Z

Hee. Things aren't great again and I'm still sick but I'm sure things will work out in the end.

Trying to decide on a career and I am pretty much over 50% sure that I now what to go into graphic and web design of some sort. I mean, I'd love to do forensics but I'm worried that being an emotional person I won't be able to handle it.

Drama practical isn't going too well. The exam is on the 13th March and we're still..writing bits almost. And one member won't be there Wednesday so we won't beable to practice. We have like a dance scene and at the moment some of the timing is off and people get confused so I'm a bit worried. I am enjoying the acting as a whole though. I've really gotten into it lately and its a good giggle. Don't think I would be doing that as a career though..although *giggles* yeah..everyone has dreams..moving on..

Might change my layout. I love the dark look though so not sure. But I made a new desktop and wouldn't mind changing that into a header.

O, and the cash machine at the bank decided to keep my money but debit it from my account so I'm like, a third down on may wages and I have another...26 days until I'm paid again. Hopefully the problem will be sorted and the money returned but I sort of need it to pay my phone bill and stuff. Gah!

I've been missing you, but you just don't care...

2006-09-30T13:34:58Z

So...I was going to post this at my other journal - to keep posts seperate per say. Except that didn't want to let me upload this layout there for some crappy reason so this is, as they say, going to be posted here until I a)Get the other layout/journal working or b) Just decided to delete this post.

But anyway, I woke up at 7am this morning with the intention of visiting Morgan. Unfortunately, we both decided that it might not be such a good idea while I'm still feeling icky. I don't really want to pass it on to him. But I sort of regret it now because I feel a bit better now *sulks* But next week, we should be going to London (I hope). I want to visit the Science Museum or something (can you say total geek =P) And try sushi. Rawr. Ooo, I forgot, I have new shoes too...they're Babycham shoes with butterflies on them. My other ones with the Babycham deer on have fallen apart finally. But...

After deciding not to goto Chelmsford I decided to check my mail. And youtube (because youtube is so awesome and spiffy)! Last night I was watching old episodes of Gilmore Girls. But this morning I logged on and there in black and white was the new episode of Supernatural that someone had so kindly uploaded.

It started where we left off..which was nice. None of those miraculous 'since we've been gone we've managed to escape from the death defying predicament'. So we started with a nice little montage recapping everything from the first season right up until the last scene in Devil's Trap. Which is where this episode started. You see Sam just waking up just as the demon gets down from the cab of the truck. The Demon approaches the car, I'm guessing with the intent to get the Colt, but Sam threatens to shoot him with the last bullet. Although the Demon thinks it's a bluff, luckily he falls for it, the demon leaves the guy, and all natural order is restored. Well, obviously not.But I thought it was well shot. The lighting was much more shinier this time round and the credits had been overhauled - this time a flame sequence and the A in Supernatural had been changed to a Pentagram which I thought was rather spiffy. It was very angsty - I loved the first shots in the hospital were Dean comes down the stairs to find out what's going on but no-one is listening to him and then he sees his comatose body on a life support machine. I think this was something I'd thought about - the whole out of body experience - it made sense after I watched Devil's Trap in May. I used to love studying that in RS. Although saying this, I don't think I'd want to wander bare foot in a hospital dead, alive or inbetween. Yuck. Never know what's on the floors.

But it was angsty from the word go. The whole Sam going to see Dean in the hospital with astral Dean behind him, trying to get him to hear him ('You're the psychic. Give me some Ghost Whsiper orf something.') And it appears John knows more about the Demon and his plans for Sam and the other children like him then he's letting on (something astral Dean picks up on when Sam asks John and John says he knows nothing) and which is confirmed later on in the episode by John himself.

I've been thinking on this line: ' If there's only one working part, that's enough - we're not just going to give up on...' - I think that Sam was refering to more then the Impala there. Possibly reference to Dean in a coma and their family unit as a whole. I also like the bit were Sam gets angry and argues with his dad. And Dean is ever trying to play the mediator - except this time it doesn't work because they don't know he's there. Also liked the 'I full on Swayzed that mother'. Classic Dean line. And when they were performing CPR on Dean it was all sad. And the shot after were Dean's 'talking' to Sam and the camera circles them both and Sam looks in the direction after Dean's finished speaking and then there's nothing there. And...I loved the bit where Sam got the Ouji Board out and Dean, being Dean's like, oh you gotta be kidding me, I feel like I'm at a slumber party and Sam finally talks to Dean and they're both talking as though each other can hear the other ones words and not just through the Ouji Board (they freak me out by the way - I remember some people in my class meddling with one of them one day on a fun day we had when we were like ten and it just scared the shit out of me.)

And helllo. What the hell was John doing summoning the fire Demon and making a deal with him? 'Coz the Fire Demon? Not the most trust worthy fellow ever!

From there everything went more angsty. Sam was with unconcious Dean and was saying stuff: how he couldn't find anything to help him, how Dean can't leave him with his dad because they'd kill each other (light hearted humour) and then he says he can't go away because they're just starting to be brothers again and it was just so rawr. And after some more...stuff (I'm not going into the details) Dean wakes up. And you think it's going to be okay.
But..but..gah. *waves fist* And I found my eyes watery (not sure if that was the cold I have kicking in or what) but it was just so gah. Dean, Sam and John talk - Sam and John go to argue, but John's like, I don't want to fight anymore, half the time we fight I don't know what we're fighting about. He admits he made mistakes. Sam picks up on this and asks him if he's okay and Sam goes to get John some coffee. The Dean and John talk and then John asks Dean to 'watch out for Sammy' (and me being me has thought 'oh, watch out for him as in look after him or watch out for him as in he might stab you in the back and turn evil ' type of thing) John whispers something in Dean's ear and by the look on Dean's face it wasn't something light and fluffy.' I'm guessing either that he made a deal with the demon or something about Sam. I'm thinking more in the Sam direction - I'm sure if John was telling Dean what he did to save his life then Dean would have been screaming blue murder - although I could be wrong. I wasn't expecting the last bit to come...you see Sam come back with the coffee and as he walks past a room, he see's his dad lying on the floor (his was such a groovy shot) He drops the coffee and goes to his dad calling for help. Lastly you see the hospital staff trying to resucitate him but they pronounce him at 10.41am. I guess we know what he bargained with the demon now for sure - The Colt and his life for Dean's. So it ended all sad..although the title maybe gave it away (In My Time Of Dying) although I didn't expect anyone to actually die. But damn, I can't wait to see it properly in January. And I'm not going to ruin anymore *crosses fingers behind back* I'm going to try not to anyway...

Some of my favourite shots:

Sam and John arguing while astral Dean gets angry and throws the glass

The part where astral Dean is telling Sam he can fight the spirit thing in the hospital although Sam can't hear him

The Ouji Board

That doesn't look like the face of someone that's just been told something happy non?

One of the coffee shots - the whole sequence is filmed from this angle. It's so sad..

So I'm now going to make some coffee seeing as I said I would like half hour ago and am being moaned at. And I might go play some Guildwars. Although I have some psych and chem homework so I might go do them...

Dumdumduummm...

2006-06-18T21:54:50Z

Lets see...today was fun. And yesterday was. Just lazed around at home in the garden, spending some time with my family, enjoying the sun. Unfortunetely my hayfever has been playing up bad lately. Also need to go to the bank tomorrow to cancel the direct debit for my current rent because it's over now. *Yay*.

Am now about to sit down and watch the last three episodes of Supernatural Season 1 and the last two of Bones. No doubt I shall update this when I've finished watching them - ranting away as I do XD.

Spiffity Spoffoty Boo!

2006-06-03T23:10:54Z

Woo..so, I'm bit more of a happier bunny. I spoke to my dad a little while ago about stuff..my mum accidently took my wallet back with her taking most of my bank cards and other cards. Luckily my student account and student cards and ID were in my little purse so I'm not stuck. And luckily the rent money is in that account and the other goes out by debit from my other (which I need to cancel). Anyway, he's recording Bones for me this week because I'll miss the last episode, and I asked him nicely and he said he'd record Supernatural. So I may have to wait a bit longer but I won't have to wait...weeks...well, until ITV1 decide to show it. I just hope they'll change the day it's on but the tv guide doesn't say it does but recording it is just as good temporarily.

So yay for the happy me XD

It's too hot. Gah. Need..air *turns on fan* My hayfever is playing up with a vengeance though these last few days. Even now. At ten past midnight I'm all...sniffly and meh. =(

And the title - my new saying *cackles*

One not so happy bunny seethes

2006-06-03T19:15:22Z

Not that I'm one to cite that 'the world is against me' crap but....the world is against me *hides head in pillow*

First things first (the non 'world is against me' stuff)

I had a wonderful time back home. Was nice to spend some time with my parents and litle sis (even if she was bratty most of the time.) I went out to dinner for my birthday with my family which was absolutely wonderful. The cheesecake was just mmmm. Strawberry and Bailey's *drools* And the pork I had for starters...oo...tasty! And I had a birthday cake even though it was 13 days late. lol. Went to Great Yarmouth which ok, isn't the most wonderful of places but I got some Sherbert Pips which are rather hard to find. And I also got some rather cool spotty socks. Yay for socks *hugs* And I went to the Waffle House with Rachel. They've changed the menu slightly but I had a tuna steak waffle on a salad which was very very yummy! Would have it again. And er...I went to the Doctor's. That was like the third inquestion. I only wanted some tablets for my hayfever and some eyedrops and it was question after question. At least I got the prescription - even if it did cost more then a shiny penny for them. Damn! Some days I wish I was 18 and in full education. Would be a lot cheaper then 20 and in full time ed!

So, Thursday I came back to London - three days later then I intended too but o well. My parents came too. That didn't go down too well because my mum went potty when she saw the kitchen. I did clean it before I went away but apparently someone decided to mess it up. A lot. So we ended up cleaning Thursday night. Friday we went to Kingston which was cool. But the Lego shop there is closing *cries* Although I did get another lego skeleton and I put some orange hair on him too. *chuckles* For 35p. Shocking. Bargain.

But back to the 'world is against me' *cough cough*

I wanted to buy some alphabet magnets (you know, the type little children have) for the fridge and everywhere I've gone, they've either not sold them or have sold out. And I don't want numbers *sulks* And I went to buy a trampoline yesterday for exercise and guess what? They sold out. And..and..just frustrate me further, ITV are being a pain and the ass. Last week they didn't show Supernatural on ITV1 - instead showing Heaven and Hell moments from previous World Cups. One week I could deal with - I was at home but watched it on ITV2. Provenence is being shown this week on ITV1 and ITV2 has Dead Man's Blood. Again, that I can deal with. But..but...next Monday they're showing World Cup Hilites *shrieks* So I'll be even more behind. And it's the last three eps and and and *sobs* it's the climax and bad things happen and I need to know what happens fully. *shrieks some more* So yes, I am not a happy bunny.

Provenence wasn't a bad episode. I guess it was nice Sam got a bit of a love interest...

I brought Dark Angel season 2 the other day. It was on offer so I thought ah, I have season 1 so may aswell get two. *laughs*

Rawr - I need to go and finish coding a layout...=)

Red and yellow and pink and green...

2006-05-26T22:26:29Z

Hmm..I be at home now. And it's ok. The only bad thing - my sister and her attitude problem. I honestly thought that whatever it was she was over but it seems not. Stupid moose. Seventeen and still acting a biatch. It's like she shouts at you for no reason. The other day I didn't hear the doorbell go because I had my headphones in. She was upstairs listening to music full blast. And she turns round and shouts at ME because I didn't answer the door. Doesn't matter that it was her friend and she was expecting him. Nooo. My fault because I didn't answer it. Meh. Same as the next day I didn't answer the door. I was watching my DVD's *yay because they came* and she had her music on sooo loud and I had to shout her ten times before she answered me. Grrr *waves fist*

My DVD's came *yay* They were dispatched Tuesday and came Wednesday morning. Hazzaaah. I finally saw the Pilot and episodes I missed because I was working. I liked the Pilot. I think it was a nice introduction to the series, but then I saw the later episodes before that so I can say that because I know what happens later on. I liked Skin and Home and still like Asylum. There's also only four episodes left to air now in the UK *sniffs* Something Wicked aired this week and I love that episode. It gave us some more back story into Sam and Dean's past. And bikini inspector on the ID *giggles* Rawr.

I have four episodes of Bones still to watch because I missed them while I was away at Uni. So need to get a freeview box thingy next year so I can get Sky One. Assuming I'm still at Uni *again with the negativity* If not I'm still deciding what I will do.

I've decided to get fit. I need to lose some weight but I'm going to do it properly this time. Just hope I don't slip into bad habits again. Moop.

I'm supposed to be going to see the Davinci Code tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be good although it has been slated a lot. I really want to see X-Men 3 though so I might go see it at Kingston when I go back to London to sort the house out.

The house. Oh the dreaded house. Ick. It needs to be cleaned and sorted and I need to get some paint to patch up the walls where Nicole thought it would be a great idea to cellotape things to the wall *claps hands sarcastically* I guess at least the estate agents still have her deposit even though she left because she can't have it until me and Laura leave so if we lose money so does she.

Anyhoooo, I'm off to lala land..

2006-05-21T00:29:57Z

Excuse me while I scream..

*YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY*

My exams are officially OVER! O..V..E..R! So happy about it, although I don't think I passed them at all. But I guess I shall have to wait and see if not I will have to decide what it is I really want to do.

And I found out, that, there will be a second series of Supernatural *yay* That so made my day. I was worried that it would just end where it did and that would be it - still haven't seen the finale but I know what happens...

I'm going home on Monday. It's been a month since I've been home. Gah. Miss everyone. I might finish updating this tomorrow because I'm tired now..

No - I do not need a walking aid, and I won't be claiming my bus pass for a good few years...

2006-05-17T20:16:41Z

Tis my birthday today XD And it hasn't gone as bad as I thought it would. I thought it wouldn't be as good because I was in London and didn't get to go home a few days before my birthday to see my friends and family like last year. I was a wee tad wrong. I didn't get a card from my sister - that's just M.I.A - she sent it but meh - so she's going to give me another one when I go home. Morgan got me The Phantom Of The Opera Original Cast Recording and Laura brought me a Thai cookbook. And a chocolate cake. And she got some candles, that spell out my name, except they didn't have an A or X so she put Bec. lol. And Morgan took me to Pizza Express for dinner. And I treated myself to Dark Angel Season 1, and GooGoo Dolls album, and I don't feel guilty. Mainly because I still have my Christmas money and can buy Supernatural with that. Heehee. And I got some cards from mum and dad, nan, aunt and uncle and my friend Anna *waves to Anna* But can't wait until I go home on Monday. Yay.

I'm a bit worried about my ankle. It's gone a bit sceptic I think - it's weepy - I put a large plaster over it today with savlon on it. Hopefully that will help clear it up if not I may have to take a trip to the Doctors next week if it gets any worse.

Exam tomorrow. So not confident. I will fail it because I haven't done that much revision. I want to pass *keeps fingers crossed* and maybe it won't be that bad. I guess I'll rant about that tomorrow.

Because I'm the oldest...which means, I'm always right XD

2006-05-16T22:21:15Z

Yay - I finished coding my layout and it's all blue. Feels a bit more summery then purple, but I've saved the purple so I can re-use it if I feel like it. Went with a purely Sam one just because I can *sticks tongue out* And the blue is calming and is a colour I like to use when I'm pixeling. Wooo. Rant over. *smile*

What's the matter? 'Fraid you're gonna get a little nair in your shampoo?

2006-05-16T20:28:14Z

Erm - I think someone's been stealing our post again..or something weird is going on. My sister sent my birthday card on Friday (t'was her birthday then too) and I still haven't got it. Yet I've got my mum and dad's, my aunt and uncle's and Anna's and she only sent it yesterday. It's not the first time stuff has gone walkabouts. We had a bank card never turn up and when it was sent recorded delivery someone signed for it - and it was no-one in this house. So yeah. Moop.

Hell House aired last night. Oh dear. Eleven o'clock at night and there I was laughing away at the television. Just hope I didn't keep Laura awake. Apart from the normal ghostie we had superglue, itching powder and er, a towel clad Sammy (which by the way, if I had a model with muscles like THAT during my anatomy exam, I'd have aced it easy as pie.) It was a good episode though - it had a lighter tone with the boys playing pranks on each other - sort of reminds me when me and my sister and cousin were younger and played pranks on each other XD Aww, those were the days *Chuckles* - although little sis is in need of some payback I feel from the last time I was home.

Dr Who was good this week too. We had the Cybermen. Except I hate this little phrase: To be continued.. *throws remote at the tv screen* I really hope the two episodes of SPN get screened together because having to wait that extra week when I know roughly what happens will suck majorly - and I fear that I shall have no tv left by the time I've finished raving at it. Same for the CSI one.

So, I'm off to watch CSI and drink my glass of white wine before I go to bed and wake up to not being a teenager anymore *gulp* It's odd - two decades of my life gone like that *clicks fingers* and all I've done is go to school or Uni, work a bit, make friends and stuff. As they say, what is the meaning of life - I wonder what the answer to life, the universe and everything is? (And no quoting Hitchikers Guide which is 49?? Can't remember - need to remember X-Ray stuff) XD

Just excuse me while I bleed to death...

2006-05-15T12:08:43Z

I'm not sure what I've done. I've taken a chunk of skin off of my ankle anyway and it's still bleeding and it's been about half an hour. Ok, I say bleeding - it's still tacky, but fresh blood tacky. Well anyway I hope I didn't bleed profusly on the carpet - we want to get our damage deposit back XD

On a slightly different note:

The Pink Imoen Chat lasted 27 and a half hours, which me Shadow and tSD saw in. Lol. Don't think I could have stayed any longer *passes out* Ok - I did have 5 hours sleep in between but still.

Laura's cooking curry tonight and has offered to make me some =) She makes good curry XD

I think tonight I might re-do my LJ layout again. I want some calm cooling bluey-grey shades - will probably keep the same theme - along the lines anyway - might do a Firefly one though XD

I'm off to the shop to err, get some chocolate and a paper to cheer me up! I should revise - I'll do that in an hour.
