So, I have stuff to post about but I'm feeling a bit crappy at the moment so I'll save it for later and just discuss TV.

( Thoughts on HIMYM, Castle and Lie to Me )

Hey guys, I'm so sorry being so absent lately. My laptop has pretty much died. It starts up but literally take about 15 minutes to do anything so it's really not very useable. I'll try and get on at the library when I can but I probably won't be around much until I can get a new computer which probably won't be for about a month.

Hope you're all doing well!

Proper update post coming soon. But in the meantime, answers to that meme that was going around weeks ago.

teenwitch77 gave me the following things to discuss: Veronica Mars, journalism, HIMYM, on-campus living, books.

( words, words, words )

. I took my little sister to see Hannah Montana on Friday as an end of term treat. It was better than I expected. I actually got quite into it haha. Plus, surprise, Melora Hardin was in it. So that was exciting! I love her.

. I've been doing this new workout and it's making me realise just how unfit I am! I did the ab section of it yesterday and today my abs are so sore! It hurts when I sneeze. Oh the shame. *shakes head* But hopefully it'll do me some good to keep it up.

I've finished all of Chuck. I absolutely loved it. Although, I admit I have some reservations about the direction of the show.

( Under a cut for spoilers )

. On the subject of Chuck, how adorable is Yvonne Strahovski?! I love her to pieces! I totally admit to spending hours on youtube the other day watching interviews with her haha. I love how Aussie she is! There's an interview snippet where she and Zac Levi are being asked whether they ever go to Best Buy (the real life equivelant of Buy More) and she's talking about how we have Big W and K-Mart and it's adorable. And Zac makes fun of her and she goes 'He's always paying me out for my accent' and he's all 'what does that mean?'. I love it. It always amuses me to discover phrases that non-Aussies don't get. Cos I never thought of 'paying someone out' as being particularly Aussie but I guess it is.

. And I'm off to Port Macquarie with Kate (bertiebob) tomorrow. Huzzah forlast minute holiday plans! I'm so excited. So if I don't reply to comment, it's because I have no net there. But I will get to them once I get back, I promise!

Holy Crap Guys. My night has been the funniest experience ever.

I put Veronica Mars on in the common room yesterday, just as background noise while I did some work. The result was my dormies becoming hooked. We (Saan, Ash & myself) watched the last few episodes tonight and oh my god, watching with those girls was the most tense television viewing EVER.

Ash screamed - like, really really high pitched screamed - twice in the finale and had to come sit next to me on the couch while I stroked her hair, just so she could get through it and Saan was curled up into me and she was so tense cos she kept looking at me for my reaction. So fricking funny. And after it ended Ash was so nervy we had to escort her to the bathroom.

But the best part was just now after we'd all been joking about scary stuff but kind of unwinding and Ash was just about ok. We go to leave the kitchen and in the glass door between the kitchen and the corridor where our rooms are, Ash sees Em's reflection in the glass (she was just going to the bathroom) and SCREAMS like you wouldn't believe and Saan screamed and was literally on the floor and Em was just looking at us like 'what the hell'. I laughed so hard I cried. No joke.

I'm hoping to get them through season 2 fairly quickly so we can get to season 3 and the scene in Spit & Eggs where Veronica's running from the rapist and 'Right Here, Right Now' by Fatboy Slim is playing. Cos Holy crap that still scares me.

So yes, fun night. I'm not sure Ash is going to get much sleep haha.

I figured it was a good time to do one of these cos I have a few new friends on my list. So, new friends, or old, feel free to ask me anything you want.

The problem with LiveJournal is that we think we're close, but really, we know nothing about each other.

So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me, something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about, or something you've always been curious about but have never asked, or something completely silly that you'd like me to answer for kicks. No limits on the range of questions, either: ask me anything you want to know about, whether it's a fannish opinion or a question about a fic of mine or trivia about my real life or my thoughts on events in the offline world.

So, my beloved jessecar left this morning to spend four months in America. She's off to Summer Camp again and I miss her already. It sucks knowing that I won't be able to see her and hang out for four months, even though I know we'll still be in contact. Just isn't the same. :(

I was in Sydney on the weekend to hang with her one last time. She had a get together at her house on Saturday night which was lots and lots of fun. She forced me to play Wii for the first time, which was just embarassing. My ineptitude for video games is ridiculous. (What?! I never had a playstation or anything similar growing up!) I cam last three times running in Mario Kart. How embarrassing. But whatevs, it was still good fun.

Then we played Disney Trivial Pursuit - which Jess and Emma had proclaimed they would kick ass in, but we kicked theirs instead. Hee. And then we played Taboo which was extremely fun. Although, wow that game is kind of stressful! Thinking on the spot is so hard.

So good night, but sad cos it meant saying goodbye to Jess.

In other news:

- I'm moving house again. Lucky number 13. I packed a fair bit of my stuff on the weekend but will have to finish the rest the weekend we move. Which will be the 6/7th June I believe.

- So much uni work at the moment, it's killing me. I have a PR conference to attend tomorrow which I have to submit three News Articles for; I have my major work for Video Production due nect wednesday andwe haven't started filming yet; all next week I have Newsroom Shift (this time the 9:30 slot) and the week after that I have a Court Reporting test. Arrrggh.

- There's a lot of stuff at the moment, just little things with friends and uni and stuff, that added together are just bringing me down. I'm not sleeping well and it's all just really frustrating.

- I've stalled on the Life fic I was working on. Which bugs me cos I was so excited when I started writing and felt so good about it and now I'm just completely blocked. And I've felt that way about writing a lot lately which sucks because it's what I want to do with my life and I feel so useless at it right now.

- I miss my shows. And I know that sounds ridiculous, but TV is what distracts me from all the other real life crap and at the moment I don't have a distraction so it's all getting to me. Bah. Sorry for being such a misery.

For Em (teenwitch77) cos, as per usual with my tv obsessions, this is all her fault. Hope you like it sweets.

Notes: I'm extremely nervous about this because I think Dani Reese is so well written on the show that trying to match that standard has been intimidating as all hell. I really wanted to explore her voice though and do it justice. So constructive ciriticism is definitely welcome.

I'm putting together a 'happy book' for a friend of mine who's having a pretty hard time at the moment.

Would you guys mind giving me your favourite quotes, sayings, song lyrics etc? They can be funny or serious as long as they're happy or in some inspiring.

Thanks heaps, I really appreciate it!

♥

(Proper post to come when Life has ceased to consume my soul. Another couple of days and I should be done with S2.)

gjhgfhkfhjkh!!! Emily! (aka nocturnes) I just arrived home for my easter break from uni, I've been travelling for six hours but I came home to your lovely package which just made my day!

I can't even tell you how completely sweet and wonderful you are for this! I LOVE the necklace; the mix is amazing and has some of my favourite artists on it; the little notecard has Robert Frost quoted! AND I happen to love grape flavoured lollies (candy)!

Thankyou so so so much for this lovely. ♥

I'm writing a thankyou card and will try to find something special to put in there for you!

Thank you for all the comments on my last entry. I'm too tired to respond to them all but they meant a lot to me. Thank you.

The funeral was Wednesday. It was a beautiful service and very fitting to the woman she was. They played 'Afternoon Delight' as her final song. Ha.

I went to the wake, but it was extremely busy - so many people! - so I didn't stay long. We (my dad, sister's and I) all went over to Uncle Rodney and Lyn's house after dinner though. Most of the close family and friends were there. My Auntie Barb was unbelievable smashed. Actually, everyone was pretty drunk. But it was good. Lots of laughter and remembering the stupid things Auntie Lyn did/said when she was drunk. And sober for that matter!

I'm back in Bathurst now. Too much work to catch up on and a busy week ahead. Proper update later.

But thank you again for all your kind words and virtual hugs. It really, really helped.

♥

My aunt died this morning. It was unexpected.

I'm going home tomorrow. The funeral will probably be sometime next week.

I don't think I'll be around much for a few days.

Thankyou to everyone who commented on my last entry about my aunt. It meant a lot.

♥

I;ve just done a small friends cut. Please don't take it personally if you were cut. If you were cut it's because neither of us commented on each others entries very often.

If anyone wants to cut me feel free.

Um. Yeah, I've become completely sucked in. GO VOTE PEOPLE!
