Happy birthday Suzi. I love you forever. And I miss you, today moreso than ever. Wherever you are (because I NEED to think that you somehow still exist) may your tail be wagging and may you know just how much I love and miss you. You mean the universe to me, don't forget that...
This past week has been huge. Guy problems have reached a climax (which then became a bit of an anti-climax), auditions came and went with greater than expected success, and I have found out that I am definitely going to my first ever convention. Of course, one then adds school and assessments to the equation - it is fair to say that I have been pretty fucking busy!
The guy problems, I will only touch on. I made an ass of myself talking to him twice this week. The worst was on Thursday, when I was going to tell him everything and hopefully ask him out. I completely froze when trying to tell him, and he had to go. He was remarkably nice though, and I don't think he is too repulsed. I am also certain that he knows. I don't know what happened, he was looking right at me then I pictured how he might react then... blank. I am still coming to terms with things in my mind, but next term will be my last chance ever to tell him, and say something I must... otherwise I will never know.
Auditions, I have already mentioned but not in any great detail. I did not get the part that I was set on getting, however now I am glad that I didn't because I would have had to share the part. My character is referred to as the Black Man, and is more or less the narrator of the play. It is also the challenging part I wanted too, because most of my scenes contain massive monologues from me. Monologues are not something that I am strong at, therefore it is good practice for me. I am also the only female lead that gets the same part for all four performances. This is because there were not enough main characters to go around for the year 12 females, so two girls get one main part and one secondary part between them. This happens for three characters, including the one I wanted. So all in all, I got the sweetest deal as I have a good lead character which will provide me with many challenges (I have to narrate what happens in a sex scene!) and I get this character for all of the performances. To add to my joy, the teacher told me that I was the first person cast as this character!
Finally, something that is equally as exciting for me: in six days I am attending the GO3 convention in Perth - where one of the guests will be David Nykl who plays Zalenka in Stargate Atlantis. It also looks like I will be allowed to buy a photo and autograph. This will be my first convention and the first time I have ever met an actor from a fandom that I love. So, I am obviously extremely excited about this!
So, here is my to-do list for over the two week school break:
1. CALM THE FUCK DOWN!
2. Finish that Indonesian homework.
3. Attend GO3.
4. Have an idea of what the hell to say.
5. Finish season 2 of SGA.
6. Talk to him over Facebook. Asking him out is optional.
7. Replenish monies - in particular cashes for spendage and coinage for mochas.'
8. Try and not think about him every waking second. This may be the reason for stress levels being through the roof.
It looks semi accomplishable this time!

I found out today that I got a lead role in Cloudstreet. Not the one I was after, but one I discovered I was comfortable reading during the audition. Will tell more later but now will sleep. G'night!

I have once again allowed myself to become snowed under with schoolwork and have been neglectful of this little place. I've been working on or studying for assessments in almost all of my subjects this week alone, and I still have quite a bit of a way to go. Subject selection is completely sorted and I am glad to announce that I will not be doing Indonesian again next year. I have just completed my last Indonesian assessment and only have exams to go, which are not for another couple of months. In my other subjects, assessments are starting to pick up a bit, but I only have a couple of weeks left of this term so I should be able to cope and then spend the school holidays more or less comatose. You know, the usual.
What I do not appreciate though, is my immune system all of a sudden giving out on me and leaving me with a four day weekend. Under normal circumstances, no complaints. With several assessments on the go, including a group assessment, and valuable classtime needed to stay on top of things, it is not the greatest of timing. Today then saw the return of excruciating pain in my bad leg due to the heavy storms and shit going down today. I couldn't walk for most of the day and I still find it hard to now. Yes, it does get that bad sometimes. It's not like I could've left the house anyway. Apparently the storm picked up when I should've been on my way out the door (and not in bed struggling to fall back into the peaceful void of sleep because I was in so much pain and had just had coffee because I was planning to head to school) and there was no way in hell that I was going to be able to leave the house in that weather, especially as I am still getting over the cold that I had before.
Anyway, enough complaining about my health and onto a subject that is much more fun to talk about. At long last, I have watched Secrets and Spies, which is the episode of Midsomer Murders that Peter Davison guest starred in. Two days after recording it (because my youngest brother wanted to watch some violent shithole movies and he always has to get his way) I finally got to sit down, coffee in hand and watch this episode which I have been wanting to see all year. It was a wonderful episode, even for Midsomer Murders. Barnaby, who is bending the rules more and more with every passing episode was absolutely priceless on so many occasions, in particular the game of cricket. I swear he's intentionally trying to torture Jones... not that I'm complaining. Peter Davison was absolutely amazing as Nicky Frazer, who was more or less a pathetic drunkard. His drunken rampage was perhaps so funny that it rivalled Barnaby's being high on marrijuana all the way back in season 1, and that is saying something! I was somewhat disappointed that he died halfway through, but as they say: quality > quantity. It was certainly worth the wait and I really hope to one day get this season on dvd.
Speaking of dvds, I did a very naughty (but worthwhile) thing last weekend and spent most of my dvd money on the 25th anniversary edition of The Five Doctors - which was the 20th anniversary special of Doctor Who. I got it for $35, and it was certainly a bargain. Here is what was included on the disks:
- The original TV version and the 1995 special edition of The Five Doctors.
- Two audio commentaries on the original (one of which was a hidden feature) and one on the special edition.
- A featurette entitled Celebration which took a look back on all of the celebrations surrounding the 20th anniversary of Doctor Who in 1983, including some behind the scenes clips and interviews whith a whole tonne of people. This was actually presented by Colin Baker.
- Another featurette called The Ties that Bind Us which talks about continuity in this special and how it is linked to past and future episodes of Doctor Who.
- Studio recordings of allfive four three original doctors and Richard Hurndall, who played the First Doctor (because William Hartnell died in 1975) all together on set in the final scenes - the only time they were all in the one studio together.
- Studio recordings of the SFX crew.
- Bloopers. They are a must see because... bloopers! 'nuff said!
- Publicity clips and interviews.
- Promos as shown in 1983.
- Isolated music scores for both the original and the remake.
- PDF file of the listings in Radio Times.
- Photos.
- Production subtitles. These are really interesting to put on with the show the second or third time you see it. It gives a lot of really interesting facts about the show, including some excerpts from the original script!
Overall, there's about 6 hours of quality Classic Who viewing on there and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who loves Doctor Who.
Also, as you all may know by now, I have becomeslightly addicted to Stargate Atlantis. I have finished watching season 1 and hopefully should start season 2 on tuesday. I have completely fallen for Carson and Rodney... especially Carson. I swear I have a thing for guys with scottish accents. I swear, I blame David Tennant for that! :D
I think I shall now get ready to sleep in till tomorrow afternoon... at least! I love lazy weekends! :D

Well, this week has been huge. Subject selection, assessments, asshole brothers, all with that undertone of GUY PROBLEMS. Sometimes, I think my inner ramblings would make a bestseller, but then some of the shit that goes on in this head of mine would make Twilight look like a wonderful piece of literature. Ok, scrap that thought right now. The interwebs will have to do.
( More blah blah... )
And now to continue procrastinating and taking advantage of this rare night where I have nothing to worry about. :)

Apologies for the hiatus. Once again, RL has been intruding quite heavilly on my internet life... which has been pretty much the norm of late I am sad to say. Nonetheless, it hasn't been all that bad. In fact, the main reason for me being so busy is because I have been busy reaping the rewards of something I have been working towards since February. Yes, just over a fortnight ago it was showtime. In short, it was amazing. It was so epic. It was an experience which I will never forget. Ever.
( Tale as old as time... )
( Tale as old as time... )
I have been so busy these past couple of weeks that I have been rather neglectful of here.
- School is now over for the term. My report was fairly good considering this is the first semester of year 11 and every standard I have ever gone by has been upped to the point where I am barely keeping up. I got A's in politics and law and maths, B's in history, english (where I missed the A by only 1.5 marks) and drama, and a C in Indonesian. In my defence, the entire course for Indo was botched from the start and only 2 people in the whole year got B's. This is a good foundation for me to build on and all of my comments have been extremely positive. I am far from satisfied, but it is good enough for now and I can only get better.
- I am slowly working through my holiday to do list. Maths was meant to be done today, but it is half finished which still puts me in a fairly good position. English will be finished after I get back from my nan's place. Overall, not too much else to do. I want to start job hunting now, as my parents have finally conceeded and said that I may get a job over the summer holidays.
- Beauty and the Beast starts in 20 days. Shit, just saying it brings on a whole lot of nervousness and excitement. Rehearsals yesterday were amazing. First ever complete runthrough, and now we're just polishing everything. First wednesday back is the last rehearsal and then in week 2 we are basically out of school the whole week. Wednesday is tech reherarsal, Thursday is the dress rehearsal and then Friday and Saturday are when it will be performed. I don't think I can start to say how nervous/excited I feel about it!
- I am out of here for a week tomorrow. I am off to nan's to completely de-stress myself. I look forward to reintroducing myself to a way of life I seem to have forgotten.

I have been rather busy these past several days, hence the lack of posting. Firstly, the rest of the exams went relitively well. I did eventually get off my butt and do a little bit of study, but I found that not much was needed. I would do a quick cram in the morning, just to get my mind into the subject, then go in and breeze through the exam. Hopefully my results reflect how well I feel that I went.
Secondly, and more importantly, today I watched the Inspector Lynley Mysteries. It was just me and Milly, all curled up on the lounge, watching one of my all time favourite tv shows. It used to be something I did with Suzi back when I was 12 and I started watching it with mum, so it felt so good watching it with Milly. She was all curled up in my lap the entire time. It was so adorable. Anyway, the episode was really good. I've seen it at least once before, but not for a very long time. I remembered who did it by the end, but still enjoyed every second of it. As always, I loved the banter between Lynley and Havers, and Winston's flirting with Havers. By the time the opening credits started, I felt like I was 12 again, watching it with that same excitement that I did back then. It was wonderful!
I taped it too, so that come a time when it is taken off television again I can at least re watch it when I want to. My plan was to get it on a DVD RW and to rip it into an avi onto my computer. I also wanted to get a couple of episodes of Doctor Who onto my computer as well. Problem: my dvd player only records to DVD+R/RW disks. I insisted on RW because I can then erase everything and re record. Little did I know that there was a difference between CD-RW and CD+RW. I had one CD-RW. There are 3 CD+Rs. I can't reuse CD+Rs, thus they are useless. All I want to do is get them from my player to my computer. Naturally, I am not what one would call happy, but with a little bit of luck mum will get the right disks tomorrow when she goes shopping. It doesn't really matter either way, it's on dvd, I just wish to get it onto my computer. Still, it was a rather frusturating predicament.
Ok, so today was my last day of leisure. Tomorrow I am going back to school for a day of rehersals - from 8:30 until 6pm. Should be a fun day anyway. I'll be sure to have my ipod charged and to bring a book (I wish to start reading my Elizabeth George books again) because I may or may not be needed until 3:30. Thursday, it's back to normal classes until the end of the semester, which is in two weeks.

Today was the easiest day for me this week, and I have no doubt that it will remain the easiest day after the next two days. This is for two abundantly obvious reasons:
1. I got to sleep in today. The exam wasn't until 1pm today and it was a very short exam - less than 2 and a half hours!
2. It's maths. By now, I am sure everyone here knows that maths is my easiest subject. I could get an A with zero study. I *should* really be doing stage three maths but due to the subject lines screwing things up for me last year (a rant ranted a long time ago) I was stuck in this stage. With that said, I'm glad that I am in the lower stage because of the already massive workload I have this year.
Anyway, back to the exam. This paper was in two parts. Part one was purely mental maths. I'll be surprised if I get under 90%. It was so easy, I finished it in just over 20 minutes when we had 40 to complete it. The second part of the paper was still very easy, but more tedious than the previous part. I don't think I did as well there as I did in the first part but I still think I did well enough to get an A. Such confidence from me in any subject is a rarity. :P
Tomorrow's exam is politics and law, which will be at 9am, so I don't really get a sleep in or time to study in the morning. I have been studying a little bit and will study some more soon because I am borderlining an A in this subject and I really want to get over the line. My final exam on Friday morning is history. I have to get quite a high mark to get the A, but as long as I can get a high B for the semester I will be relitively happy.
Mini fandom update: I watched the final part of Logopolis this afternoon because I did promise myself that if I did the exam well I would allow myself to download it. I did well. I downloaded it. It was awesome. In even bigger news,![[personal profile]](http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
alittlebirdy has informed me that Inspector Lynley is back on Channel 7. I can't believe I missed it yesterday! I wouldn't have been able to watch it anyway because it was on during an exam but I still could have recorded it. It's on next tuesday anyway. I am really looking forward to it because I have that time off school due to not having an exam on that particular day. I have only been dying to watch Lynley again for several weeks months! Well ok, more than a year now. I'm so excited!

* I have had the most stressful time this past week. I had about a million assessments on while trying to prepare for exams at the same time. I swear the stress almost did me in. It was so bad that come saturday I slept in until after 4pm (and got yelled at for it too) and I didn't even stay up late!
* Exams started today. Actually, today was the worst day because I had two on. English and Indonesian. Two three hour exams and a 10 minute break (it should've been an hour, dammit! It was supposed to be!) in between. Naturally, I am completely exhausted. I don't think I have to be at school until 1pm tomorrow for my maths exam so tomorrow will be relitively easy. Thursday and Friday will be slightly harder. I think they are both morning exams and two of my hardest subjects. I then get the first half of next week off due to having no more exams. Rehersals from 8:30 till 6 next wednesday and then normal classes resume.
* Fandom wise, I honestly tried to cut back, but you know what I'm like. Actually, the fangirling side of my brain saved my ass during the Indonesian exam (yes, I can't quite believe it too) when it gave me some nice mental imagery to spur me on to finish.
* I've been starting to watch Classic Who. I have most of Logopolis and all of Castrovalva and I must say that these classic episodes are rather addictive. I find all of the old story lines and well, everything very interesting. I have completely fallen in love with Tom Baker's and Peter Davison's Doctors. So different but so damn good. First time I saw the original!brainy specs I barely kept from squeeing. Note to self: Make some Classic Who icons sometime in the near future. Maybe during my 4 day holiday...
* I read this rumor and I promised myself I wouldn't get excited but, you know how I get when it comes to promises I make to myself...DT 4 DOCTOR WOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!! :D Ahem, for those that don't know, David Tennant is in negotiations to star in a Doctor Who movie. That news made me extremely happy. :D
* http://sexy.namedecoder.com - I am having far too much fun on this site. :D

* I've been starting to watch Classic Who. I have most of Logopolis and all of Castrovalva and I must say that these classic episodes are rather addictive. I find all of the old story lines and well, everything very interesting. I have completely fallen in love with Tom Baker's and Peter Davison's Doctors. So different but so damn good. First time I saw the original!brainy specs I barely kept from squeeing. Note to self: Make some Classic Who icons sometime in the near future. Maybe during my 4 day holiday...
* I read this rumor and I promised myself I wouldn't get excited but, you know how I get when it comes to promises I make to myself...DT 4 DOCTOR WOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!! :D Ahem, for those that don't know, David Tennant is in negotiations to star in a Doctor Who movie. That news made me extremely happy. :D
* http://sexy.namedecoder.com - I am having far too much fun on this site. :D

In this poll David Tennant is not winning. Even worse than that, he is coming 4th. Obviously this is not good enough. Our mission: improve this rather dire situation.

I just found out that this group of guys that I have known and trusted for over a year have been talking behind my back and referring to me as "gimpy leg". I know who the culprit is too, because they gave out my email address, and only one person knew it. I trusted him more than the others. I have never been self consious about the fact that I have a bad leg until now. The sad thing is that I'm not really angry at him. I'm angry at myself for being so stupid to trust someone, especially after being dragged through the mud so many times after trusting people. What hurts more than anything though, is that the only thing about myself I was not insecure about was the thing that they mock me behind my back for. I was proud that I had a left leg, as scarred and mutilated as it was, it was the only thing about myself that I liked. Now, it has become just another thing that I am self consious about.
Ok, so I'm slightly crossposting from my LJ here, I promise I shall not make a habit of it but this is just too priceless not to share. As many may now know, I got the homework assignment from heaven. Research three antagonists from movies/tv shows I like and answer some questions on them. Is there any better excuse for me to watch Doctor Who? Probebly, but there was no way I was letting this one go. So I flicked on Last of the Time Lords and watched it. Cue a rather interesting conversation with my mum:
Me: *snigger*
Mum: What are you laughing at? Why aren't you doing your homework?
Me: *snigger* I am doing my homework.
Mum: Bullshit! You're watching fucking Doctor Who again!
Me: Yeah, that's my homework.
Mum: Fuck off!
Me: *shows mum homework sheet*
Mum: Dammit...
The punchline: I was actually staring at David Tennant, not watching out for things to put in my assignment. Sometimes I surprise myself...

Ok, people that know me over at LJ may or may not have heard me bitching about the in class assessment from hell. Entirely new concept. One lesson to prepare, which the teacher didn't even teach us anything relevant. I studied until after midnight last night, trying to prepare for something that I will be ill prepared for no matter how much I study. I crammed all morning too, and panicked all through drama and recess. Got to class and found out what we were doing. Not quite as daunting as I thought, but still pretty damn hard. We were paired off and had to do a roleplay. One asked questions. One answered. I was paired with a friend of mine. She's a great girl, don't get me wrong, but her attitude to school is terrible. Whatever isn't easy to her she either doesn't bother doing or tries to get me to do it for her because "I know what I'm doing". In this case, it was a combination. I did not know what I was doing today. Try closer to a full on incoherent hyperventilating panic when I realised that we had twenty minutes to prepare for a roleplay based on an entirely new concept. Naturally, I didn't know what the hell I was doing and was relying quite a bit on her to at least show some resemblence of cooperating with me to decipher what the hell we were going to do. Fifteen minutes later, after persuading her to show some sign of being bothered to help, I started to write a mini script. Five minutes was obviously not nearly enough to write a semi decent roleplay in my own language, let alone in Indonesian. Let alone using vocab I was at least familiar with. I got a couple of points down and was told that we had to improvise the rest. So, the recording started. Thirty seconds later the adlibbing began. I mean, I started adlibbing questions as simple as possible, that I know that she could answer. She packed her stuff, refusing to answer. The next 3 minutes of recording was me asking her simple questions, translating them, even telling her how to answer them...and her silently packing her stuff to go to lunch. I eventually gave up, went to lunch and was sick in the toilets. Twenty five percent of my marks were riding on that assessment. All that study was for nothing because of that selfish girl who could not be bothered because according to her we were going to fail anyway. To add insult to injury, while I was being sick, she was bitching about me to my friends. As angry as I was with her, I did not say anything bad about her. When my friends confronted me, demanding to know what happened, and I found out what she said, I suddenly found that I could not eat my lunch.
That was definately not the only bad aspect of today, but I find that I don't wish to rant anymore here. I had a rather enjoyable time in english, which was the last lesson of the day before rehersals. I was in a pretty bad mood until that lesson, where within ten minutes I found myself laughing. I regret telling the teacher that I was distantly related to Russian (I'm not positive though) royalty. I now get called a princess. The people I sit with in class looked rather confused the first time that Mr english teacher called me that, so I was forced to explain. Fun times.
Rehersals today were exhausting. I was already sore and tired before school finished, and rehersals left me completely wrecked. It was so worth it though. We have finally finished the next number and next week is the last week we spend on it, where we are going to polish it and make sure it looks perfect. After that, we start learning the final number before the finale. I'm looking forward to it a lot.
Well, I think that's all my rambling for today...

Ok, so I finally cracked and made an account here. Massive thanks to sin_after_sin for sending me an invite. The main reason that I am crossing here is because quite a few of my friends back on LJ have and it seems like a pretty good idea, so here I am. I'm still going to have my LJ as my primary place for my craziness and here...well I'm really not that sure what I am going to do here. I originally intended to have this as a place where I talk about RL more, but then I thought that I could talk about fandom more here and now I'm just not sure. I don't want this to be identical to my LJ because then what is the point? I guess we'll just have to see how things turn out here.
So, fandom. I have many fandoms, and they change often. I don't often get into shows by myself. Normally it is the fault of one of my friends, or another tv show. Some of the shows you will definately hear me rambling on about in here are Stargate SG1, MacGyver, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Angel and Bones. Of course, that's only very few, and my fandoms change hands so often that it's just not funny. I am quite a terrible fangirl, but here I intend to make semi intelligent posts every so often and try to steer away from fangirling and bitching about everything in quite an immature manner like I do over at my LJ.
For the time being I will keep all of my fandom related posts open and f-lock stuff about RL. If I know you over at LJ then I will most likely add you. If you don't know me and for some reason that I wouldn't have a clue about liked me then feel more than free to add me. I will most likely add you back if we have stuff in common. Well, rather than rambling here any more than I already am, I think I might go and do some more exploring.
