flower power (rock!)

I saw Penelope yesterday with my friend Jane (totally adorable, worth every moment) and am still squeeing over the fact that RUSSELL BRAND WAS IN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For like, a grand total of two minutes, he had two lines, but OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 


ADSLAKNBWUHQJK. 


He walked on screen in all his skinny, British, dapper-ness and my friend Jane and I had small strokes - she likes the Goth Detectives, but not Russell as much, but OMG EXCITING!!!!!!!! This is the part where I dissolve into shamefull fangirlness. If he gets to be a big movie star in the States I honestly don't know how I'm going to handle myself. *squeak* I'm still so excited, you have no idea.

More adventures from Dorian, a dialogue exercise this time. We were supposed to work with a partner, but I was all "fuck that" because I basically hate everyone in my class, so I did it with myself. And so that I didn't have to make up another character, I sort of kind of stole Gerard Way, and made him talk with Dorian (based on Patrick Wolf). I don't know how well Gerard came out, but it was good fun.

Have a slice of random pie. This video, which makes me laugh hysterically every single time I think of it. Basically, it's My Chem performing live, and Gerard apparently tries to make Mikey take off his uniform jacket, because he's got nothing on beneath it and Mikey falls over. And they're playing Cemetery Drive, so Mikey is sort of writhing on the stage, trying to play bass on his back, while big brother sings: "WAY DOWN, WAY DOWN, WAY DOWN...." over and over again. And since their last name is Way... oh nevermind, but it makes my day. <3

my head hurts ... brain splatter :

"It's attached to your rod, motherlicker!" 

"If Chuck Norris has five dollars, and you have five dollars, Chuck Norris has more money than you do." 

"Chuck Norris has two speeds -- walk, and kill." 

"He's so good looking, and english, I just want to punch him in the face!" 

It's forty degrees out, and rianing, and its washing our lovely snow away, and that makes my head ache. 

Why is obscure British musis so expensive? I want it ALL and I can't afford it. 

I tried straightening my fringe, and now it looks stupid, so I've got to stick my head in the sink. 

WTF is up with Torchwood? Owen's a wanker, and dead?! I don't know why I bother watching anymore.

"She should have a bath and listen to some Michael Buble. A Buble bath." :D

I got bored during my free period...

Yay for Torchwood, and Jack/Ianto snogs.
Yay for Nevermind the Buzzcocks, which is downloading.
Yay for the Jonas Brothers.
Yay for turning 18 in time to vote in the primaries! 
(boo for Kucinich being far too radical to win)
Yay for Johnny Weir.
Yay for brownies with too much frosting. 
Yay for big brown eyes and Michelle Bachelet.
Yay for exchange students and small pink dinosaurs. 
Yay for happy.

"Reach out, grab the universe with two hands and stuff it in your eyes. Let your heart escape your breast and follow where it flies. Light your soul on fire with the sun. Fill the sky with your screams until you know freedom."

subvert the format in a very literal way.

"Once Mighty Empire, Slightly Used." 
"At Least We're Not French."
"No Motto Please. We're British."

Heath Ledger is dead?!

Okay, sorry that sounded really harsh. But I just...he's died. 
Sort of in shock right now. 
And very sad. 
I love Heath Ledger. 

*deepbreath*

bah...

"Whether it's your mum, your boyfriend or your girlfriend who tells you you look like shit, it doesn't matter, so long as you feel good."

A boy like me is told he is both nine and ninety
A boy like me should shut those books and join the army
But a boy like me would never been seen fighting for peace
I want total chaos and a holiday home in the East
A boy like me should know much better
Than to raise his flag in stormy weather
But I just can't get enough electric shocks
I want to buy a lightouse and
Ride a giraffe on the rocks
I don't give up
I want two dogs, two cats, a big kitchen and a welcome mat
I want all this and all shall have
I don't give up
A boy like me should never give up on his dream

Saw the first episode of the second series last night and loved it... And Jack asked Ianto out on a date, and I actually stopped breathing for a little bit because I was so excited. Weird fucking alien though, like a balloon you buy at a fair. And an ex-lover as the villain? Predictable, but what would Torchwood be without the usual buckets of camp? 

Can't get the Kaiser Chief's 'Ruby' out of my head.
Midterms start tomorrow. Soooo screwed. Ah, well.
Accepted to Beloit and Lewis and Clark! Three for three!
Last gym class and last math class today. 
Dropping Functions sometime in the near future.
Am worrying about failing Trigonometry miserably.
My shoe is dead and I'm not wearing socks and my feet hurt.

Patrick Wolf is my new favorite EVER and the video of him and the absolutely adorable Ed Larrikin performing the song Accident & Emergency is incredible. I could and have watched it over and over again.That song has basically saved my life. 

I've been watching all this YouTube stuff to see the cute P Wolf moments. Some highlights include: Patrick splicing SexyBack into one of his own songs and stripping to gold lame spandex shorts. Playing with some everyday objects and being really cute. Talking to a crowd in Switzerland: "You have your own language right? ... Why do you use francs? Because doesn't 'franc' mean 'France'? ... I'm only twenty three. Leave me alone."  Responding to a comment a fellow musician made about his flawless skin in a picture: "It's called MAC."

On the topic of makeup, today I went out and bought myself some pretty eyeshadows from CVS and the kind of gum I like. The eyeshadows are really cool, this gorgeous palette of sparkly blacks to dark grey to silver to sparkly white, and this Loreal thing with bright purple shadow on one side and beautiful marigold shimmered sparkly yellow on the other. Patrick Wolf would be proud. 

Oh, and I need to do a new mood theme cos I was fooling with photobucket, and all of the mood themes I previously downloaded are gone which is just so wonderful. :/ Also working v. hard to un-fuck iTunes so I can finally use it. When I got my laptop and tried to transfer all the music half of it didn't transfer! I has no Beatles!!! *cries* But I'm slowly making it better.
