                <description><![CDATA[ Back in Byron Bay, bizatches! Hopefully to get some time and space, sleep a bit, drool a bit, eat a lot and CONSUME JAPANESE MEDIA LIKE A MOTHERLOVER.<br /><br />Mmm, long uni break. Mmm, endless daze stretching off into February. Mmm, coffee time.<br /><br />Lame thing is, now I am home I'm been hoiked into fixing all the stuff that my family broke over the year -- apparently I am the only technologically competent person in my family. The main target of my fixative powers is going to be the printerscanner, funnily enough. On the upside, most of my material of the past couple of months will probably get upped soon.<br /><br />Speaking of the fixing, I'd better kinda DO the fixing. But first, time for a coffee break.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Oh, if only I was as cool as Hyde and wouldn't look like a dick if I got angel wings.<br /><br />I'm sure many have already done so, but I'm tempted to get a single wing as a nod to Sephiroth/Death Trance/whatever Japanese institution both are drawn from.<br /><br />Kanji is a bitch. Because it makes me its bitch. This is a bit gay. I don't LIKE being the bitch.<br /><br />Would it be wrong for me to get D'espairsRay lyrics done all over me? Or does that make me a bit of a tragic fanboy?<br /><br />Yes, I know. Ask a stupid question. But still.<br /><br />How can I still be tired?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It's been a while.<br /><br />I am frustrated by the non-extant nature of a single kanji with the meaning "loaded".<br /><br />As for the 2500 word essay due Friday week [& at MIDDAY -- what the fuck is WRONG with you Paul Burton???]...I'm a bit fucked. Oh well.<br /><br />I hope they sell ROCKSTAR in six packs. Because I want it.<br /><br />I think I put my mind somewhere safe. But now I can't find it.<br /><br />I feel a bit lame a the moment.<br /><br />I should probably start sleeping.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I'm sorry for panicking.<br /><br />O-W: That's all right: it happens to everyone.<br /><br />The parents needn't have looked at me like /I/ was the one directing despicable innuendo at small children.<br /><br />Apart from the heinous heinous dialogue...and the unsubtle sexualisation of every female in the film [which I enjoyed...a lot...but it is still wrong! This film is for small children!] I...enjoyed Clone Wars...a lot. Yes, that's right, I loved it. It hurt my insides and my eyeballs with its radiance and glory. I wish I could afford to go to QANTM. It was all I ever wanted.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I can't sleep. I have insomnia. I put rice in my percolator and I'm only down here temporarily -- I had the clever idea that I could try to do the online stuff I have to do to get my money on Monday NOW instead of later today, like in daylight time, when I will be on a train bound for Byron. But the government forbids practicality and ttempts at punctuality on my part: I have been foiled again. <br /><br />But there is food on the way so it's all good. I wonder why I'm so hungry? All I DID today was eat and pose like a camera manwhore. Which is definitely something which ought to recur -- it was fun. Milk & Honey is good. I like it much. Their serves of chips are huge. Huger than Pajenkas.<br /><br />Mmm...food. I shall away to eat! And then I shall 'meditate' until my alarm goes off, and then I must begin my day. See some of you soon, in fact, and soon all of you will see the latest bloc of my attempts at artistry.<br /><br />Wouldn't it be cool to work in the technical aspects of film or theatre? I want to play with lighting.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I can't put anything up until I get back to Byron, obviously, but when I do I'll upload at a cracking pace. And I have so much deezy TO upload. I'll have to keep it to recent stuff, mostly because art books weigh a bit.<br /><br />Linguistics is OVER! To Wagamama to celebrate! Sankyuu to Nacchan! Oh and then tonight much Madlax. Ha, as if Madlax is Mireille with ears & Margaret Burton is just Kirika with plaits...But Kouichi Mashimo seems to know what I like, and THEN there's Yuki Kajiura-sama's soundtracks.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Also Wednesday<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />oomsday. <br /><br />Wish me not-fail. Particularly for the Tuesday kanji exam of Doom. As for the linguistics exam, I'm not even going to pretend that I expect not-fail. I'm just hoping the fail is as painless as possible -- you know, something in the vicinity of falling off a six storey building. I can pick myself up after THAT as long as I don't land funny. Let's hope I land on my head; then I'll be fine.<br /><br />I like Kaya-sama's new single. The b-side is better than Chocolat, I think, but both are good. Kaya has even more super-range than he used to, too.<br /><br />I have put my back out for the third time by trying to play Fi, but I just can't seem to stop myself. By the way, Mason Williams, damn you for being a virtuoso and therefore writing music way out of my league. My mother snorted at me when I expressed this sentiment, and said something along the lines of "You started playing guitar six months ago, will you put down the damn razor?" but nonetheless I am intensely irritated by my shortcomings.<br /><br />This isn't actually supposed to be related, but apparently "Orion is a masochist."<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I smiled a lot, and got to offer crayons to adults and alcohol to small children, and continue to be amazed by the amount of food other people can leave on their plates. I HATE not eating food. If it's there it should be eaten, but these...people...they can order entire pizzas and then only eat a SLICE. THEY LET ME TAKE MOST-OF-PIZZAS AWAY. What is that?? Obviously they have either had the vast majority of their stomachs surgically removed, the ast majority of their brains surgically removed and/or the vast majority of their eyeballs surgically removed, or they are not college students. [I'm going for the whole "they're just stupid" thing, personally, which fits with any and all of the above.]<br /><br />I am deeply wounded by this collective failure of our customers. Could YOU leave food on your plate?<br /><br />It just seems so WRONG.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ You know what's nasty? Essays. Essays are nasty. Very nasty indeed. They make me wish I was smarter and that my internal circuitry could handle stuff that makes sense, like maths and science. But no. It doesn't work that way. It works the way which will make me suffer most. Which is the way paved with essays. This upsets me.<br /><br />On the other foot entirely my SuG album came!! It was very prompt and I shall now cheerfully plug Brand X as my store-of-choice until their competitors kill me. But really, they were so helpful and prompt and all the rest of it that if I wasn't already married and impregnating a variety of intangible and tangible concepts I'd insist it has my babies. As it is, it'll just be added to the list.<br /><br />What else? Oh yes. I am a student and I have no money. But when there are 50%-off-all-anime sales on a JBs, it would be wrong of me to leave without buying SOMETHING, even if it means I have no food for the next week. Shut up. I HAVE priorities. This is PROOF. So I bought Gilgamesh. I've been using the intrigue of the sealed box set on my desk as an incentive to get my work done, but I finished the aforementioned essay-of-doom yesterday, and rewarded myself with the first disc this morning. I was sold as soon as I laid eyeballs on the first evil soldier in strappy black leather, and his awesome hair.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

It just happened, and now it's over, so forgive me? <br /><br />Besides, it produced something magnificent. She's gorgeous. By far more beautiful than any who have came before and will after.

My thanks to those of you who reminded me I can't die happy until I've been to Japan. <3]<br /><br />I have recently had the ugliest haircut on the face of the earth.

My copy of Versus [!!!] coming soon. Chocolate coming soon.<br /><br />Bad stuff: linguistics assessment due on the eighth. Linguistics. Money leaving soon. Fear and uncertainty as regards getting BLOOD tickets. Fear and uncertainty as to whether I'll have money in time to pre-order NOiZstar. BEING DENIED BY THE MOODCHANGER. Stupid Fenner pcs.

                <description><![CDATA[ I love random t-shirts. Like Takeru's in the Love Scream Party PV. I want it, actually, but in reverse colours because lime green is master of my soul. {OMM FUJOSHI -- I WAS JUST WATCHING THIS <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=_ZJY_qBEh4c">[link]</a> & at about 3:53 Takeru has the best laugh. It reminds me of Hitsugi's but WHO has the smile, ne? ;D]<br /><br />Also on the topic of t-shirts? Ages ago one which had the words FUCK OFF emblazoned on it was on a magazine cover...and the other day when I was buying my Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust poster this guy walked past me and he was wearing it! I think my eyeballs nearly fell out. I'm so jealous...I want it. And just more good clothes. Blah blah blah -- what a femmy rant. xD I'm such a dickhead. Oh yeah...and my hair still looks like my Dad's in the early nineties. I can't show you though because I have no pc of any description -- you'll just have to take my word for it. Like father like son, only father is more handsome.<br /><br />That's all for now. Time to roam the streets of Canberra. Jyaa ne.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ "The hatred of Macs is strong within him," says Qui-Gon to Yoda, on the sly, in code, so as I don't start thinking I'm important.<br /><br />Yoda, however, likes MacIntosh, and is unimpressed with me. He has manipulated the Force to be anti-Orion and uses it to technokick my ass. At least, that is my theory as to why the Macs that run rampant at my college refuse to work for me.<br /><br />Then, OH JOY OF JOYS! I come across the Law Library, which is stacked to the gills with these ace, shiny, functional pcs, which I am now using to update those few who care on the minutiae of my life. Even better, this Menzies building thing is almost deserted and designed in such a way as to NOT maximise total frustration and anxiety. It's sort of almost peaceful.<br /><br />So: the minutiae of moi, which I'm sure you all so desperately want to know.<br /><br />Uni is going pretty well; I think primarily as I haven't done any work yet. My wallet isn't doing so well mostly because uni, specifically the coop bookshop, IS doing very VERY well. I suppose, if worst comes to worst, I can eat my books? Because tree is...very...nutritious....and...*mumbles incoherently* KAMIKAZE GIRLS!!! YES!! <a href="http://www.kamikazegirls.net/news.html">[link]</a> Something we watched yesterday in my supposed Asian History course. Princess, it made me think of you. You should see it.<br /><br />Umm I'm trying to consolidate my scholarship asap so as I can get a latop and internet properly [and a new mp3 player with the not-much-left-over]...but I'm liking this Menzies business in the meantime. Pity uni's so far from Fenner.<br /><br />Blah blah I'm getting boring and whiny nao, so I wish pron upon all of you and take care. Sayonara.<br /><br />AN: WTFKDJDYHJEDJKB the emoticon won't change!! Stupid pcs. I knew they couldn't be perfect. Pop-ups are locked off.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

FOR THE WIN; I love it, and I'll probably be online heaps more now.

                <description><![CDATA[ This production is brought to you, my beloved and wonderful friends, from an oddly-warm swivel chair in an underground internet cafe called 'The Barracks', about twenty minutes from my new home in Canberra.<br /><br />I have to keep it brief, unfortunately. I only have another twenty minutes online before I have to start paying more. Four bucks an hour is brilliant, yes, but not when Centrelink cancelled your payments and you're up in the air whilst simultaneously flying by the seat of your pants.<br /><br />It is NOT an experience I recommend, but it's certainly interesting.<br /><br />I'd be a hell of a lot happier, nonetheless, with proper internet and my own laptop and more money and some actual food et cetera et cetera. I do believe that on my student's budget I am going to lose a lot of weight, unless of course my body mistakes the lack of food as impending famine and I stack it on instead...<br /><br />Anyhow I have to keep this very short and sweet. I love you all, I'm still mostly alive, and please please don't be deterred by my absence -- I will get back to all of you asap. <333<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I LOVE RYUHEI KITAMURA. A genius if ever there was one. Love with a capital, even. He's just...just...wow. I watched Versus with my wife last night, and...wow. I love the Japanese. Ryuhei movies in particular are perfect for me.<br /><br />The best parts of Versus, for instance, were: <br /> -  the constant lip-licking by every character at every other character, case in point being my muttering "I want to lick you" on behalf of The Man, who proceeded to actually lick his brother's blood off his knife and smile creepily<br /> - when the snappily-dressed knife-guy grabs the glasses-guy and they...have...a thing. Yeah. [Don't tell me the Yakuza rumours are true...]<br /><br />On a related and interesting tangent [interesting to me, at least] I have seen various Ryuhei movies, and in every one I have always pointed to random bit part characters going "See? That one! I like THAT one." As it turns out, after a sortie into imdb yesterday, each of these characters is played by Taku Sakaguchi, who is the swishy thread-jutsu dude from Shinobi, whose name I always meant to find out to see if he did anything else. It just so happens that I was already, unwittingly, locating him; and I felt very clever when I recognised him on the case of Versus whilst sitting in the car.<br /><br />Anyway. I've rented a couple of other Ryuheis from the same video shop, and they're on my itinerary; Aragami and Alive, for anybody interested, &&I look forward to watching them.<br /><br />We also watched Twilight of the Dark Master last night, which I actually really really liked. Tsunami Shijyo is a bit of love. A BIG bit.<br /><br />I COULD stop ranting about my cinematic exploits now, but that wouldn't be like me. I shall simply hold them up as my excuse for not managing to deviate anything at the moment. Yes; it's all the movies' fault I haven't done those gloves yet....<br /><br />OTHER AND MORE REALISTIC EXCUSE FOR HEIGHTENED ATTITUDE OF ESCAPISM:: life is scary. Organising and financing the interstate transfer and the New Beginning aka Entering the Vast Sea of the Capital in Both a Literal and Metaphysical Manner is intimidating.<br /><br />Go away now.<br /><br />Kirito will save me.<br /><br />As long as he doesn't have a knife, a bike or a red sequined jumpsuit. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQQ-wWLfxXk">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ After a harrowing few minutes, I managed to get onto the UAC servers at five past nine this evening. <br />
<br />
It turns out that ANU have offered me a place in their lovely lovely establishment! Hooray for me and oh dear for all the politicians, conservatives and squares I shall hopefully be imposing my whimsical and transvestic existence upon by mid-February this year!<br />
<br />
Oh, there is so much that can go wrong, but at this very moment it feels so magnificently, magically, profoundly, satisyingly, stupefyingly, excitingly right. [Take that, whoever said never to use more than one adverb in a sentence, and fuck you splendidly because I'm feeling terribly -- there's another one! -- rambunctious just now. It concerns me more that the grammatical structure of the statement in question might give my dear mentor Wally a heart attack. But I'm really feeling too great to give a sparkle.]<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I have now passed the twenty-four hours of unbroken consciousness benchmark by a whole hour. Due to this condition I feel duty bound to note that I have eased into a rather interesting state of mind, accompanied by large amounts of chocolate, a bottle of Red Eye and two mochas so far and decline responsiliability for anyeverything therein.<br />
<br />
My failed attempt to watch the Japanese news on SBS the day before yesterday was rather demoralising and it appears that I underestimated its effect on my morale. After all, I pride myself on my ability to function consciously exclusively via will-power, and making it to the couch, fifteen minutes late, at five forty-five am only to wake abruptly three and a quarter hours later was at best severely disappointing. I was mollified somewhat by the fact that I did see the weather girl before I passed out. She is the most important part of this new ritual. I have formed an odd attachment to her, finding hers a soothing presence, although she doesn't give a forecast as comprehensive as Gackt's. Who could? <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTkcvMya_kM">[link]</a><br />
<br />
However after several inexplicable and deranged wanderings through other people's houses [thank you, Ally, darling: I hope you have reconsidered the significance of swans and recovered from seeing me drink that beautiful concoction I made], last night's solid seven and a half hour marathon of Kyou Kara Maou with my wife and Julianne refilled the coffee mug of my emotional self. Additionally, Sweden and I inserted a pre-NHK News screening of Velvet Goldmine [which was, I think, well-taken. Glam rock will never die].<br />
<br />
Then it was time to blither over the charm of KAWAII KAWAII KAWAII WEATHER GIRL through mouthfuls of mocha; so all-in-all, in spite of my resounding defeat the other day, today I am feeling much better about everything and very very conscious. Sweden and Julious have, however, fallen asleep in my lougeroom and my brother has retreated to his lair, although his friends keep talking to me on Steam. So. Here is me, consuming Red Eye and trying to use this time productively, as I see it.<br />
<br />
Upcoming events, more significant than those I have related above, include the issuing of uni offers through UAC at nine o'clock tonight and the advent of some food pretty damn soon. To quote Stephen Fry: "If you have been, go back to sleep." I had already warned you that this is a product of me being slightly manic and a trifle bored...speaking of trifle, I love mashing cake...now, where was I? ADD brought on by too much caffeine because I left out how many cups of COFFEE I've had? Don't be ridiculous. I am very, very sane and focused. Yes. And I'm going away now. This beautiful literary masterpiece has taken me twice as long to write as the deviation I am about to upload took me to draw. CUSTARD ON YOUR FACE.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Three more days, then ANU shall pass down its judgement upon me. I think I am allowed to feel a little anxious. After all, I did well in my placement exams, but high eighties...what does that mean in terms of priority? And marks...placement...that means what in the end? I can't be certain about anything. And nothing means anything, anyhow. Oh no...I can feel myself sliding into an epic ramble about manic metaphysical nonsense...<br />
<br />
=X<br />
<br />
Coffee! Coffee is the answer.<br />
<br />
Excuse me.<br />
<br />
It's nerves.<br />
<br />
They're jangling a little. And by a little I mean as much as Tsukasa's chains against his cage bars, which is, I suppose, not so very insignificant. It's the magnitude of a move halfway across the country that's getting to me, I think. But how to calm down? Think of trees? Grass swaying in the wind? Undisturbed waters? What?<br />
<br />
Coffee again, I believe, out of which I am hoping to fish my muse and thus manage to achieve something allowing me to feel accomplished. The illusion of ego is an interesting one. My own ego is rather like a chip packet, all shiny, crackling loudly and apparently full of the chips of confidence. But when you reach in there, the packet is nearly empty.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Yeah, the formal was interesting...<br />
<br />
NOT. How incredibly dull. Tolerable, but dull. Soooo dull. Boooring. No one was cool except for the obvious exceptions [we know who we are and we know we're fantastic].<br />
<br />
Apart from the part where we scared people the best part was tiramisu and coffee. And that was that. Over and out and adios Byron Bay High School! Ciao bella etcetera etcetera. You won't be missed. <br />
<br />
But the Empire will be. And the tragedy is that, no longer allied by a common foe, we go our separate ways. Hopefully they're separate ways that won't last very long. There will be a reunification -- I don't have a problem with keeping the Empire aloft, nary fear, and if you don't all return to it or me then I shall hunt you down and drag you back. But I'd say you're all more likely to come running. After all, it's the Empire. There's nowhere better.<33333<br />
<br />
And the Princess has introduced me to the amusing world of Fruits Basket:::I like it. Is funny. Even though Tohru is a sped deezy and I want to watch her DIE. NO ONE IS THAT HAPPY. But Shigure, Ayame and Uo are cool. Ayame is the best!!!<br />
<br />
+++WELCOME TO SWEDEN!!!<3333<br />
<br />
*joyflail* It pleases me that you arrive.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
I.<br />
<br />
DID.<br />
<br />
IT.<br />
<br />
I did it! I WIN. Against all odds, I have conquered!<br />
<br />
Not quite veniversum, possibly, I concede. But school has sort of been the main feature on the mantelpiece of my existence for the past twelve years or so. I think my tendency towards victorious flailing and the cheerful abuse of my education are perfectly justified behaviours and I also think I WIN.<br />
<br />
Congratulations, fellow sufferers, in this the HSC class of '07 -- it's over. If you're anything like me your final exam was yesterday morning. Your forgot your pens, almost had an aneurysm, trembled at someone until you procured a few, charged into the exams five minutes late, sat down and spent the next three hours working your hand into a contorted parody of a paralytic spider. Then you walked out to the car, dazed and confused, with your head oddly empty and a ringing in your ears.<br />
<br />
Then you undertook the dangerous but necessary quest for coffee.<br />
<br />
Then you went home and sat on the couch in a state of imperturbable catatonia.<br />
<br />
Then you woke up this morning, ate eggs, read some Oscar Wilde, because you like to. Found coffee. Made coffee. Drank coffee. Went to chi kung. Came home. Watched Torchwood. sat on the couch vacantly. And then you realised what you'd done, and what you never have to do again. Ever.<br />
<br />
Holy mother of Mana.<br />
<br />
I did it.<br />
<br />
&&&<br />
<br />
The Campaign:::Sweden, I meant what I said. I will whinge persistently until you join me here. You can look forward to it. Every time I so much as lay eyes on you.<br />
<br />
Swedennn........Sweeedennnnnnnnnnnnnn....DDD=...Sweden! Swedennn...<br />
<br />
And on an extra-loving note, I would like to ask everyone who knows me to join me in this quest, which takes precedence even over the quest for coffee. Take careful note of that, Sweden: look how much I want this! It's more important to me than CAFFEINE. So join. Please?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well I have been a busy bee. I suppose no one else will ever know or understand just how much effort I have put into the HSC -- I certainly don't expect it to be reflected in my results. Deserving them doesn't mean a thing in this world. But I really have been working my poor little cortex down into my shoulderblades over the past month, and it's nearly killed me but Mana: I tried. What else can I do?<br />
<br />
One more to go. The final blow. The coup de grace, only three hours long and honed to most painful effect. Why oh why didn't I heed the wisdom of my Da? Why oh why did no one warn me that Legal Studies was going to be brainrape with a pitchfork? I would never have sort of exploded in their faces for giving me logical advice and then done it just to spite them...no, that sounds completely out of character. <br />
<br />
;;<< Dammit.<br />
<br />
But no point in dwelling on the past, right? Much better to look to the future, which consists of my slow and agonising death.<br />
<br />
...Yaaay.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Two down. Four to go.<br />
<br />
But that's English done and dusted, so the worst is over: or at least I'm on my knees praying so. And I have this week to cram for the three Exams of Doom next week. I think that's a good thing...<br />
<br />
And I am so happy -- I actually found and finished my Illuminati Mana from ages ago! I found him while flicking through my diary, which I do often so I feel like I'm doing something even though I'm just avoiding the Egyptian New Kingdom like plague. He was sitting on the blank page at the start half-naked and rejected-looking so I located my artliner and helped him relocate his modesty. =X<br />
<br />
Yay for creative urges whilst trying to study. My body tries to protect me instinctively, and since I have a strong instinct of self-preservation when it comes to studying, if nothing else, it usually succeeds. Wally tells me that I have "a foot in for gold in the Procrastination Olympics." I really believe I'm just trying to maintain my insanity. Mana forbid I should ever become anything but me. And not procrastinating is utterly and completely not me.<br />
<br />
My prayer of the day: may Australians stop voting fatheads into government because the eyebrows of one particular fathead are really starting to annoy me, and more importantly may it rain. Because I like the world better when it's grey. Sunlight hurts me.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My little emoticon man thinger lies. I am not ashamed. I did my bestest in that exam -- English Paper 1 for those who are not like suffering and need the extra data. But I still came out of it wanting to put a paper bag over my head. Or better yet, a plastic one. Without eyeholes.<br />
<br />
Okay; so I'm being slightly melodramatic. I don't need to die, exactly. And I certainly don't /want/ to.<br />
<br />
I just need therapy, and never to move my right hand again. It's cramping something spectacular, and also turning intriguing shades of fuschia when it isn't blue.<br />
<br />
All I can say is thank god it's over. Thank god I will never have to read Shakespeare in that tepid, nauseating scholarly light again, nor refer to genuine artistry as a 'literary technique.' <br />
<br />
Bah humbug.<br />
<br />
But I did it! I got up at quarter to seven this morning and I went to school and I did it. I finished, even. It's done.<br />
<br />
Now I need some serious Torchwood therapy. But first -- to the refrigerator for sustenance and the telephone to vent my furies at Daddy! [Love you, Da.] Then to the Torchwood which is sacred and almighty.<br />
<br />
And then on to Azumi 2.<br />
<br />
And then more food.<br />
<br />
And then Moon Child because it's great.<br />
<br />
I love Moon Child.<br />
<br />
I am not an escapist.<br />
<br />
Oh and by the way: everyone should stalk Daizy Stripper! Message me for their deezy, or just use the <a href="http://www.sendspace.com/file/mnsks5,">[link]</a> which is still working I think. Many thanks to Kozette who did the upload: you made me very happy.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
No.<br />
<br />
You aren't there. I deny you. Go away.<br />
<br />
I shall think about nice things instead, like chocolate and tight shiny pants and ways to obtain more movies with Hyde in them because he has the most beautiful arms I have ever seen. And how pretty Kirito-san's singing voice is, particularly blasted out of a subwoofer with six speakers. <br />
<br />
Next step is to work out how to install an mp3 player into my brain...<br />
<br />
Perhaps I shall locate William Gibson's email somehow and ask him if he's thought of that one. I bet he has. After all, he's already written novels about all of my 'original' ideas...good lord I wish I could hate him and his thrice-damned genius. But they're so good that I can't even be slightly cranky about it anymore.<br />
<br />
Oh. Azumi is nice to think about too! ; D<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
I feel so alone.<br />
<br />
Not even the knowledge that every other HSC student in New South Wales is suffering beneath the same life-sucking beast of doom makes me feel better.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ '"My doom has come upon me!" cried the Lady of Shallot,' indeed.<br />
<br />
You see, there is now about eight hours less than seven days until doom, true and good, comes upon /me/. No mirrors are cracking, I admit, but as I am not the best with anger management I'm sure plenty will before doom arrives proper. Waaaaah...<br />
<br />
Torchwood is my saviour. I am so happy I own it now. I treasure those DVDs. Tragic, you say? Well guess what? When I break those mirrors, if you'd like to repeat that, I'll pick up a shard of glass and come after you. In fact, take out the part where I have to exercise and just go to heaven and stay there, away from me. I'll go to hell happily -- John Barrowman will be there. Keep it gay! <333<br />
<br />
But on to a fate worse than heaven: my HSC. Oh goody. Am I ever looking forward to that. You're just jealous because /you/ don't get to write three six-page essays in two hours, and then do it again the following Monday. Whoopie yee-yi-ay, joy of joys, rainbows and sunshine and bollocks.<br />
<br />
I want to be cremated and have my ashes used as Mana-sama's eye makeup, please.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I HATE IT WHEN TORCHWOOD ENDS.<br />
<br />
I kid you not, watching the credits and listening to the cool but tuneless theme song after a midnight seesh is actually a MORE HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE than the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH.<br />
<br />
I love Torchwood. I really do. It excites me because it actually follows the plotlines that my sick and twisted mind imposes upon it. Although SOME of the episodes really suck, I concede. I think that Russell Davies should dump a couple of his writers. And hire ME! <br />
<br />
No I would not turn the whole thing into a naked Jack Harkness pornfest. Me? Never. I'm insulted that you ever even imagine such a thing...<br />
<br />
...and no I would not gratuitously create a spin-off of the spin-off rewritten as a musical.<br />
<br />
But it could work, couldn't it? I mean how could Weevil showgirls not be a hit? And have you HEARD John Barrowman's tenor? Come onnn. Well.../I/ think it would be cool. <br />
<br />
Just think, we could kick Owen in the balls to make him a soprano.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ If you've been watching the news, you've noticed, no doubt, that drag racing is becoming a serious problem. Also that it is VERY VERY DANGEROUS and EVIL and that our politicians will crush our cars if we do it. <br />
<br />
It is also illegal. <br />
<br />
What you DON'T realise, all you drag racers on the Australian streets out there, is that YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG. Something came through our cultural filter a bit funny and what you call 'drag racing' is in fact a very toned down, safe version of a truly extreme sport -- even so, it still manages to send our politicians into a collective tizzy. I hate to wonder how they'd handle the real thing. If you have a politician in the house, probably best not to let them see the following footage I managed to obtain. Highly sensitive material, but I hope you will find it corrective and informative to your dragging practices. <br />
<br />
(By the way, Princess, I propose to make drag racing the principal sport of the Empire.)<br />

You wake at 3am<br />
THE HOUR OF BLACK TRUTH.<br />
<br />
While you were sleeping<br />
All meaning has collapsed<br />
Now only darkness exists<br />
<br />
Poor little plankton of the night<br />
You have been swallowed<br />
By the great whale of DOOM<br />
<br />
Down, down. Down you go<br />
Into SHEER FUTILITY.<br />
"It's all impossible," you groan,<br />
Then you disintegrate<br />
Into unconsciousness.<br />
<br />
7.30 A.M.<br />
Finds you at the table<br />
Reconstructing your personality<br />
Rebuilding civilisation<br />
This takes half an hour.<br />
<br />
At eight o'clock,<br />
Like a prayer,<br />
The cup of tea rises<br />
To your lips.<br />
A bird sings.<br />
The whale of doom<br />
Is now a sardine on toast.<br />
