HAVE A MEME

YOUR LJ USERNAME: olivia_capulet

STORY BEHIND IT: In college, during a random discussion, my friend asked me if I would be a Montague or a Capulet given the choice. I said Capulet, because the Montagues seemed to be the most miserable of all of the RxJ chars. Later on, we talked about which girl's names we liked. My favourite was Olivia, hence Olivia Capulet.

YOUR JOURNAL NAME: Blue, Dressed In Black

STORY BEHIND IT: It's actually a very obscure reference to Yugioh. I was a huge fan of it in college [still am], when I made this journal and my favourite character in it was [still is] Seto Kaiba. Kaiba is voiced by Eric Stuart, who is also a musician. One of the albums he released was called 'Blue, Dressed in Black'. TOLD YOU IT WAS OBSCURE.

AGE: 20, almost 21 zomg

YOU ARE WEARING: Pjs and dressing gown [my peach one... I kinda feel like my red one makes me look like a failed hooker].

YOU ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO: CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

YOU'RE NOT SO MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO: Class with Darry Gay. Teachers who try and be cool....y'know *yawn*

NAME A FRUIT: Strawberries 8D

I hate romantic scenes >.< I think generally speaking they are contrived and stupid. Though the best one, in my opinion goes something like this - ''I never knew a wolf could cry''

BEWARE OF SPOILERS > : <

Bone China

Everyone dies. Except Anna Meeka, the only character in the book you want to die.

Much love to chrisgray23for posting this up :3. At Halloween we had readings of spooky stories and I originally was going to read 'The Werewolf' by Angela Carter, but ALAS had left my copy of 'The Bloody Chamber' at home. I improvised...

YAY TOSH IS ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE. Having to spend a day and a half with no laptop was like torture ;o; - I missed everything, anime, music, my word processor...

Anyway, I was just greeted on myanimelist.net by the most hilarious review of Gundam 00 ever. I mean it.

( Cut for bad language and stupidity in general )
I don't understand why this person even sat down and watched G00 - it's one of the more intelligent animes O_o. Maybe that's why this person [I feel very bad, but Im assuming it's a guy] makes no comment at all on the plot.

I found this earlier and I actually think I am addicted : <

Ive had to spend the past couple of days contemplating buying a new laptop. I don't want a new laptop. My current one has seen me through the end of college, my first years of uni, longer if I have it my way.

I've had my PC at home for almost ten years and the thought of getting rid of it has never come to mind. When you stay on it too long, the screen goes hazy and the mouse barely works but I'll never [willingly] get rid of it. I wrote my first stories on it, printed out menus for bonfire night from it entitled 'November Nosh'. I did my GCSE work on it and then my college work.

Getting rid of that PC would be getting rid of so much. Everything I have ever associated with it. That feeling of logging onto my childhood and trawling through the long forgotten archives. Without the PC, my room is not my room. Before it was there, I had a V-tech machine plugged into the TV. I used to have cartridges for it, one of which was a zoo game that I never really understood.

Getting rid of the laptop would erase everything I have ever associated with it as well. Every joke, every stupid video. I used to travel to New Wharf in the cold with nothing but a duvet, my laptop and my meds. They were the important things. I rely on my laptop for the intricate things - playing music, watching DVDs, keeping up with the outside world. Tosh has become the keeper of my reality, the reality that I chose for myself.



I'm going to end up one of those old people in the year 20 something or other, when computers are affixed to your eyesockets, fixing Tosh for the four hundredth time while all the other elderly go wireless in their sleep.

If I'm doing an essay then I'm very aware of how others will react and I think that makes it difficult for me to make any kind of progress. When it comes to creative work, the person whose reactions I pay the most attention to are my own as I am my own worst critic.

A number of reasons why we have not evolved at all since the Victorians:

We used to have Cholera, now we have Swine flu and even worse things to worry about.

Men in suits still rule the roost.

We still have major class divides.

People aren't educated enough about germs.

We are completely obsessed by freak shows [á la Jeremy Kyle].

We cover up our social issues with weird names ['recession']

We like laughing at the lower classes [LOL CHAV]

We think our clothes and skin tone gives us social status. [People risk skin cancer for a tan and pay money they don't have for designer labels. The Victorians favoured pale skin and risked organ damage because of their corsets].

There is still a lot about the human body and the world around us that we do not understand but we are willing to pretend that we do.

It's not about what you know, it's who you know.

 

It depends what I have - if it's something like a normal cold, I'll go about about my daily routine like normal, sniffling as I go. If it's something worse, like flu, I will stick it out alone, mainly because I feel really self conscious about myself when I'm ill and I don't like the thoughts of making people around me just as sick.

The Northern Clemency

A Short Summary - Beware of Spoilers

Tim is a serial killer. He killed his own snake having decided he wanted a puppy. He named the puppy Karl. Karl was cute and fluffy. One day, Tim's brother Daniel took his teasing too far and, along with his annoying sychophant whore of a not-quite girlfriend Sandra, were pushed from the top of the moors and never seen again. Daniel's mother was too busy fawning over her asshole of a boss and contemplating divorce for unfounded reasons to realise one of her children had gone missing. Even at the dinner table, she addressed Karl as Daniel, which made matters confusing when he went off the leash. As for Sandra's family - they became convinced that she had emigrated to Australia in search of a lover and celebrated.

THE END

And I thought it was groundhog day or something. Seriously didn't we just have a story in the papers about a 13 year old dad?

Pretty much what it says on the tin

*Terminator DVD
*Indiana Jones Box Set
*Little Red Riding Hood costume
*Basket for the above
*Lolita bows - both Black and white, also for the above
*Oyster Card 

Any stuff I think of in the meantime will be added XD

> : < YOU HAVE SEEN TOO MUCH

I think the fact that Rob is kinda like lolyeah makes this pic even more epic

So if you've seen my earlier Bleach rant entry, you'll know that I watch the show. Lately I've been watching episodes 220-236 and was really getting into the latest battle because, for the majority of it, it did not involve Ichigo [ALL-E-FREAKING-LUJAH]. For no reason at all though, smack in the middle of it, it changed to some random filler that makes no attempt to even fit into the plot.

I actually like this filler.

I'm speechless.

Pretty much everyone I've ever dated has been a clashing sign. I don't let it bother me. i don't leave the house much anyway, so I'd use the psychic as a great excuse to stay in and watch anime XDDD
