My lack of updates is due to a lack of money and a lack of man.

Because, of course, you need money to survive. (98% of pollers believes money is second in importance to oxygen.)

And one certain man is driving me insane.

Then there is also the fact that I have $1000 saved up in my uncle's account, but he doesn't want to give it to me, because he refuses to believe I have that amount.

Pirates II comes out this Friday, and I'll be seeing it on Sunday. Whee!

I've been hearing good things about Pirates II, although, admittedly, I haven't looked pass the lj-cuts. It's such a pity that the film won't come out here until the bloody 21st.

I was suppose to go out to buy a new pair of jeans today (yay for losing weight!), but my aunt, who has the car, hasn't returned yet from some breakfast thing. It's not breakfast if it's almost one o'clock in the afternoon.

The washing machine broke, which means I currently have a stranger in my house, who's staring at it, while holding a wrench, as though all the soap bubbles and dirty water hold the key to the universe. Or at least the lottery numbers.

The World Cup is coming to an end. I have to admit that, even though the last teams standing aren't my favourites, it's definitely a much more interesting income than I had expected.

I might be going out for dinner today. I saw "might" in the whole "if I don't get ditched again by stupid men who need rocks to be thrown at them". Bitter? Moi?

And, most delightedly, yesterday I went to speak with a professor (who is incompetent, moronic, incapable of speech, much less teaching) to discuss a very unfair mark he put on my end of term paper. Of course, I didn't have said paper, so I went to ask for it, and

Professor: Er, it should be here somewhere.
Callie: No rush.
Professor: Yes, er, let's, er, oh! No, not this one. (peers at Callie) Look over there, yes?

Naturally, he lost my paper. Lost. My. PAPER. How do you lose a single paper?

Professor: Can you come by Monday?
Callie: (looks for pointy object)

And, yet, it pains me that Ricardo is actually a pretty decent goalie.

Rooney... you deserve to get a beating.

ENGLAND PASSES ON TO THE NEXT ROUND!


I am completely ignoring the fact that there is a good chance that Spain will have to play Brazil.

World Cup thoughts:

1. I cannot believe that Czech Republic lost to Ghana.
2. I cannot believe the U.S. tied with Italy.
3. Iker Casillas is perfect.
4. I cannot believe Spain is currently losing to Tunisia.
5. Australia is quite surprising.
6. What's the matter with Serbia? 6-0? EH?


ETA: Spain wins 3-1! Beautiful goals by Raúl and Torres.

I feel like I do this every six months.

01. Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
02. Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
03. Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
04. Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
05. No cheating!

I have a friend who's never been kissed before, and she's about 19/20 years old. Tonight we went to a party, and she had her very first snog session. Her comments?

"This is what I've been missing out on? Come on! It's just an exchange of saliva and tongues. I mean, honestly, not that big a deal."

I, on the other hand, thought my night was quite productive.

And, for the World Cup,

Go, England, go!

First of all, the World Cup has begun. Germany made some very nice goals, and Ecuador showed a lot of strength today. I hope the rest of the month shows as much promise.

X-Men 3: The Last Stand is a pretty decent film. I loved the effects and the characters. Angel is incredibly attractive and so is the mutant-curing mutant, even though he's, like, twelve. However, I felt that they had more characters than they could work with, which left a bit of an empty feeling sometimes.

It's probably also important that I make a small mention that, yesterday, I spent an entire day at work trying to delve into a problem regarding two little fucks boys, from the seventh grade, who had somehow managed to pass an entire year harassing their classroom, sexually and otherwise.

Seventh graders. I'll be expanding on this during the weekend, so some of you might want to skip the upcoming lj-cut.

Callie's birthday party: rocked!

Callie in birthday dress: gorgeous!

Callie's feet: in pieces!

People obsessed with Callie's neck: one!

(Who, thankfully, did not leave any marks. I have uber-sensitive skin.)

People who got a cold: me!

Being 22 is definately awesome.

Stolen from... well, everyone

1. Open your choice of music player and put it on shuffle.
2. Press play.
3. For every situation, type the song that's on.
4. And when you go to a new question press the next button.
5. No cheating.

I went to see The DaVinci Code yesterday with a friend. Eh, it's an okay film, I suppose. Nothing special. I do believe, however, that Magneto Ian got all the best lines.

Next in line, X-Men 3... eventually.

But, for now!

Two oral presentations (for tomorrow), one written report, payment for Punta Cana, get loan from bank, get notes from Snape's lectures, finish details for birthday party, try to see today's episode of Veronica Mars and C.S.I., and, oh yeah, sleep.

Eight hours for beauty.

I like being pretty.

This summer I'm getting married, paying off my debts, and moving into an apartment with a person that isn't related to me by blood.

And, quite possibly, taking over the Triangular World.

ETA: Ehehe. I don't mean REALLY getting married, you morons. I mean "I'm so frustrated right now, this summer...." That was, like, the record for most emails and IMs received in less time. Except, who knows, Punta Cana is suppose to be romantic....

It's that time again.

( Naruto, chp 308Collapse )

I have a very long investigation project due... tomorrow. And I lack black ink. And my colour ink is sort of spluttering off before it dies, too.

Ah, procrastination. You get the adrenaline pumping.

So far: 28 pages of utter bull shit. Yay!

I also need to pay for my trip to Punta Cana. By Wednesday. Which means I need to stop indulging in... you know, everything else.

Ah, money. You cause the grey hairs to pop up.

Also, Several Miles from the Sun is on hiatus until... beta writes chapter 17. Co-writing, yay! Because my soul wasn't good enough for you, moonlitroses!

And then there's the case of modding, grading papers, approving art, studying for exams, and, wait for it, breathing.

...Ooh, shiny new episode of Naruto.


ETA: Now my fear isn't running out of ink, but running out of paper. Feck.

Because, you know, manga never really dies,

( Death Note rambleCollapse )

Um, is it just me or did Mello suddenly become hot half-way through Death Note?

God, it's only Tuesday and I'm already swamped with extra work.

I guess it doesn't help that I'm reading manga in between typing.

Sigh.

Yesterday I went to see my cousins' football match, and, amongst the crowd, there was this lovely, lovely guy. Lean, nice curly brown hair, tallen than yours truly. I assumed he must be about 20. Young for me, but, hey, it's only watching in the end. And, then,

Callie: That one is so pretty.
Alexia: Um, that's Chelo.
Callie: Chelo? But he plays with K, and that would make him--
Alexia: Yes, fifteen, you pedophile.

Fifteen-year-olds shouldn't look like that, if you ask me.

In other news, I have about a month left of Uni. I am so counting off the days. I also need to start paying for my trip to Punta Cana. Aw, my little purse, how you whine.

Saw Serenity last night. I liked it, it was a nice film. Especially if you didn't actually go to the cinema to see it.

What's the buzz on The Da Vinci Code?

List ten fictional characters you would have sex with, and then tag five friends.

In no order whatsoever,

1. Remus Lupin (Harry Potter), duh.
2. Naruto (Naruto), because he has "double stamina".
3. Ban (Get Backers)
4. Nick Stokes (CSI)
5. Link (Zelda)
6. Alex Cross (James Patterson's Alex Cross series), because you gotta love the attitude
7. Jesse (The Mediator)
8. Ron Weasley (Harry Potter)
9. Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist)
10. Renji (Bleach)
