    My grandma died a week and a half ago. Today was her funeral. I kept myself under something resembling control - read that as 'I managed to not make any noise while crying throughout the ceremony' - until the last song they played, Flying Without Wings. Which happened to coincide with my branch of the family going up to the coffin. As a result, I can no longer listen to Westlife without ending up soggy. :(

    I'm really into Gorillaz at the moment. I really like the music - always have, right from being 10 and listening to Clint Eastwood - and the idea of an entirely fictional, animated band (with BACKSTORY!) appeals to me. Okay, the fact that Noodle is apparently supposed to be 12 days older than me *and* likes Miyazaki movies? Also a factor. Noodle rocked before, but now I really like her :D I also have an uncontrollable urge to hug 2D now I've read his background. Poor guy, Murdoc keeps getting him in trouble :D And now I shall go back to my previously scheduled procrastination. With added DARE!

    Watched Rocky the other day. Never seen it before, it was alright. Went to college and proceeded to giggle far too much when a friend named Adi got 'Yo, Adrian!' shouted at him by someone who claims to have never seen a Rocky film :D Adi, though, has. And he wasn't impressed. LOL.

    I'm addicted to the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I blame the Joneses. They had a Halloween party last night, with a Rocky Horror theme. I didn't dress up, no matter how well of a Magenta impression my hair is doing right now (*sob*), and no matter how much my BF liked the idea of a maid outfit (Ooo-er). He was going to go as Riff Raff...Which says quite a lot about him, really. Mostly that he's got the sense to know I'd disown him if he went as Frank N Furter or Rocky :D Anyway. I've never seen it, believe it or not. What I know about it is gleaned from a combination of BF's little sis talking at me, the costumes from last night, and youtube clips of the Time Warp and Sweet Transvestite. I think I might have to rectify that ;) Going now. *starts singing* It's just a jump to the left! And then a step to the right.... *fades into distance, still singing*

    Currently doing Russian History at college. I spend two hours a week giggling. Not because Holly and Luke are funny. Not because Charles does impressions of the teacher whilst said teacher has his back turned. Not because the entire class thinks my friend is a hippy. Rather, it's because I have the Anastasia soundtrack playing in my head from the second I enter the room to the second I set foot on the stairs afterwards. It's unfairly difficult to write notes on Alexander III while you're mentally singing 'If I can learn to do it, you can learn to do it,' etc. And we're getting closer to the Russian Revolution every lesson. We're up to Nicholas II as it is. Oh well, at least I'm not the only retarded one. Charles does it too, as does Steph. One day Charles and I will spontaneously burst into song, and it will be the same song and that day will kick every other day's ass. Because Charles is an amazing singer, he more than makes up for my tone-deafness.

  • Scrubs-related Dorkiness (with FMA on the side)

    by sakura-k on September 16, 2007
    I'm a dork. A total, complete, utter dork :) First Dork Moment: Went on MSN, saw that one of my friends has the line 'Will you be the Edward to my Bella?' as her personal message. I have never read Twilight (and honestly don't plan to, it sounds crap) but I know this is a reference to it. Me being in an obtuse sort of mood, I considered setting my personal message to 'Will you be the Edward to my Winry?' because Winry and Ed kick ass way better than any Edward and Bella ever could. Second Dork Moment: Annoying girl at college won't stop talking about herself. I am seriously considering stealing a Dr Cox rant and adapting it to her, just so I can see her speechless for once. So far the best of the best is the Things I Care About Less Than Our Last Week rant, closely followed by various ways of telling people I DON'T CARE and SHUT UP. Third Dork Moment: Watched the Scrubs episode My Screwup earlier. Y'know, the one where Ben dies? Amazing episode, I laughed so much but then almost cried at the end. Anyway, the guy who plays Ben, Brendan Fraser? Looks like my BF. And Ben has MANY of said BF's habits....like taking random photos or people, making fun of them in creative ways, and having absolutely no shame when it comes to teasing someone (y'know, the 'you slept with both my sisters? Then we have something in common! bit). So I liked Ben. And this may be why it got me so much when it turned out he'd died :( Fourth Dork Moment: Watched My Musical. I am now singing Dr Cox's Rant Song =] That man is the God to Kelso's Devil and I don't care what anyone else says. I also like Jordan. I want to be her when I grow up =] Dorkiness over. I might go sleep now...

    You know how if you're only half-listening to a conversation and you start actually paying attention the same time the worst possible phrase is said, and you get all confused about what led to it? I mean like *serious* innuendo. Well, I just found the slightly cleaner song equivalent. Listening to Maroon 5's new album, Can't Stop comes on. I like it, but I'm reading as well, so I'm not listening properly. And the line 'Wake up making love to my pillow' jumps out at me. Pause iPod. Blink. Rewind song. Realization hits. Mental images appear. Mental images bleached from brain. I go back to my book. Thi is the cue for the line 'And I touch myself like it's somebody else' to jump at me. Again, pause. Blink. Skip to next song. Carry on reading. I love this band, despite (or possibly because of - you never know with me...) the fact that sex is implies in *every* *single* *song*.

    Stupid college. I did my touchtyping exam last week, so I have nothing to do. Yet I still have to go to the lesson? Pointless! I have better things to do. Like sit round in canteen with a bunch of second & third years. Hey, it's better than being here doing nothing. She told me to revise. In protest, I am looking up Random Japanese Songs of the Gackt/Dir En Grey/Malice Mizer persuasion and commenting them. Take that stupid education! Yes, I'm in a silly mood. I wouldn't be if I wasn't trapped in this classroom though!

    When you insult yourself and your male friend apologises for it. :) In the immortal words of Rudy: Wa-TISHE!
