12:29 am - US Elections (no really)
|
Wow... so confused about this US election... When do these primaries end? What is the deal with McCain's wife? Where are they hiding the interns from Bill Clinton? Obama plays basketball! Awesome! (not really a question, but maybe a point worth making). And if Tina Fey says vote for Hillary on SNL, why isn't she winning by a landslide?
So many questions....

12:02 am - Feeling blah...again!
|
I'm surprised by how little I learn, how little I change, year after year. I'm definitely getting older. I'm not 'searching for the right brand of wrinkle cream' old, but the kind of 'you're old enough to know better' old. However, it never occurred to me that I'd be the same person I was when I was 12 by the time I reached my freaking-twenties. My freakin' early to mid twenties, that is!
The whole university/law student thing has completely lost its appeal. Frankly, I'm not sure how much appeal it held in the first place. And it's not like I assumed it would be easy. I thought it would be hard. It needs to be hard if it is to be worth anything. I just thought that it was leading towards something. Namely, employment. Turns out, that was a complete pipe dream. The worst thing about being a law student is being surrounded by law students. Hearing them talk about all their job 'opportunities'. It's a great way to confirm one's darkest suspicions that they are the only one who is finishing their second degree and applying for jobs at Target. I could have saved time and money if I'd just started there right after I finished school. Damn, I've probably jinxed my shot at getting that job at Target now.

4:10 pm - My holidays!
|
Hey!
I'm back from my trip to Europe. It was awesome!!! I actually got Orlando Bloom's autograph. We saw his play 'In Celebration', it was really good. I could feel the hormones in the room! He could definitely act. Afterwards he came out and signed programs, the streets filled with people and it was exciting. He's so hot in person. He's such a hottie!! OMG!!!
Oh and in other news, I got tickets to Justin Timberlake! They sold out in 15 minutes, so I was really lucky.
Not much else going on, I've been watching episodes of The Office. I'm so in love in with Jim!!
I can't wait for High School Musical to air - I love the dancing and the music - musicals are awesome!
I can't believe that that Kevin Federline is going on One Tree Hill - they can't ruin my show!

12:33 am - Confused rant
|
|
I'm going through one of those confusing, weird periods where I feel like I have to make a choice about the 'future'. My future. And whether or not I'm putting the pressure on myself seems far beyond the point. I remember feeling like this in Year 12 - yet at that time, everyone around me seemed to be dealing with the same issues. Now it's completely different. Everyone else seems to know what they're doing. It's been years since we finished school and people are done with uni, they're getting careers, moving out of home, getting serious about life. In comparison, my life has stagnated and all my insecurities about where to go from here seem ridiculous and belated. Like, I should have sorted it all out ages ago. But I've always put off making decisions, which is perhaps where the whole crisis stems from. It's so pathetic. I always just assume that some how I'll eventually stumble onto something, but I'm desperate to be more proactive, you know, move from the back seat of the car driving my life to the driving seat and seize control. Assume responsibility. I don't want everything to just happen around me. I suspect that I'm expounding only clichés only at this point, but somewhere when I started this, I had an actual point. (I promise!) Maybe it's the whole Birthday thing - turning a year older seems to screw me up every year. Personal evaluation is never good for anyone, unless you thrive on being confused and adrift. I long for certainty, yet ironically fail to ever secure it.

Spent weekend watching Dexter, rather than working on my essay. And yes, I feel good about this decision.

12:34 am - Goodbye Gilmore Girls
|
I'm so devastated to hear that Gilmore Girls has been cancelled. Even when the show was at its worst, it was still better than 99.9% of the rest of the stuff on TV. I don't know why I was so shocked that it ended, 7 years is a pretty good run for a show. But still. I feel miserable about the whole thing, and I blame Alexis Bledal for not signing up. I've decided that out of protest, I will probably not see Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 2. Well, at least not till it comes out on DVD.
Also feeling miserable about my essay for Uni, I still have 1000 words left to write. The first 2000 have nearly killed me. Not looking forward to staying up all night. I keep thinking I should just drop out of uni, but I bet there would be a million forms to fill out.

1:41 am - TV
|
I have a take on exam for my constitutional law class that is sucking the life out of me. And just because the universe hates me, my sister bought season 2 of Laguna Beach on DVD, so fate has had me watching it all day instead of studying. Oooh, that Jason! It doesn't even seem to matter that I've already seen all these episodes, I'm still hooked. It also made it clear just how bad the recent season was in comparison. Everytime I watch season 3, I want to punch that stupid Tessa with her annoying voice. So basically I had to stop watching. (hey, our flatscreen is new, and I wouldn't risk violence on it).
Watched the finale of FNL, I cried a couple of times, but I think I've recovered now. At least till I watch it again.

How good was last week's Friday Night Lights? I can't believe it. How does a show get better every week?

2:06 am - Stupid fight!
|
I'm really annoyed, my friend lent me $20 to pay for a cab home on Saturday. On Sunday morning, I get this text message from her asking for $50. I sent one back saying I thought it was $20 and she's been really weird about it since. Eventually, she was like, 'fine, just pay me the $20.' It's been 2 days, and she has sent me 5 texts asking for me to transfer the money - which my bank won't let me do over the phone, and I don't have the right internet password. I've asked all our mutual friends to give her the damn money if they see her. It is so frustrating. I know that it was $20. She was so drunk that night, she kissed this random 18 year old stranger, and was behaving really badly (like yelling out really offensive things on the road, which were pretty humiliating for us around her) So I happen to believe I have a better memory of events that night.
My other friend, who was there when the money changed hands, doesn't remember if it was $20 or $50, which also annoys me, and she seems to be taking her side. Saying I should 'buy her a drink' to make it up to her. But the way my first friend has behaved - harassing me when it's only been 2 days - is starting to really upset me. I feel like someone should make it up to me! The whole thing is sooo stupid.

12:32 am - Meh...
|
Feeling a bit exhausted from life really. If I can't even lift my textbooks, then how on earth am I going to read through them all? I've forgotten why I'm doing this in the first place. How long till the weekend?
I babysat tonight. I managed to burn my arm and then screaming from pain, I let some 'bad' words fly. The kids basically had chocolate for dinner. I would make the worst parent.

7:18 pm - Testing the bonds of sisterly love...
|
OK. So I've finally forced my sister to watch Friday Night Lights. This is kind of a big deal. If she doesn't LOVE the show as much as I do, then I'm not sure I'll be able to respect her anymore! It's kind of reached the point where if she doesn't watch it, she's not going to have any hope of understanding what has become my entire frame of reference for life.
What else? I've only been back at university a week and I'm already drowning in work. I don't like the look of my litigation class. Nor, for that matter, its sequel: Litigation 2. Oh well, 2 more years, right? Then I'll have my law degree. I won't have a job or anything like that, but at least the degree will come in handy if I get into a car accident or something.
Some exciting news - it looks like I *might* be going to Europe in July. I don't want to get too excited in case it doesn't happen. But still, Eeee! I can't even imagine - me in Paris! Oooh La La!

I've spent the day trying to recover from Lamb's death on Veronica Mars! OMG! So traumatic.
Normally I'm a 'spoiled' viewer but I had no idea this was coming!

I can't sleep. Not sure why. My Mum finally told my sister that she had dyslexia (I have no idea how to spell it, may I have it too). She hasn't taken it well. She lay under the coffee table in our lounge for about 2 hours refusing to go to bed. I finally had to coax her out by singing Shania Twain's "Man, I feel like a woman" until she was so annoyed that she stormed upstairs to her room, slamming the door loudly. I'm not sure how to make her feel better about it. I looked it up on the internet and there are all these completely amazing people who had it. Albert Einstein, Robbie Williams, Richard Branson, Tom Cruise, Winston Churchill, John F Kennedy and Leonardo da Vinci. I'm sure she'll calm down.
Dad's in Madrid. Bastard. I never go anywhere. I hope its raining or something . . .

8:14 pm - Nothing.
|
The other day my friend asked me if there was anything new happening in my life. This may seem like an innocuous question, but it kind of upset me, for reasons I can’t really explain. But I guess I’ll try . . .
My friend lives in Melbourne, so although we’re close; we don’t get to spend a lot of time together. I guess every time we communicate we have to catch up on what is going on in our life. But what struck me, , was that there is literally nothing going on. Now or ever. There’s this expectation that something must be happening. I mean, why else do people ask how you are? But what of your life is a dreary routine where even your dreams are predictable?
My life is a vacuum. I try to fill the hole with TV and magazines, but I have to face up to it. I can’t even think of enough to say to fill an empty space on an internet diary.

8:19 pm - Failing University and Fathers' Day
|
At this point (my second year of university) one might wrongly assume that I would be able to sit down and simply do a stupid English essay. Instead I waste time, joining livejournal.
Ahh, and Fathers Day - don't get me started. If you love your father you should be able to express that any day without needing some stupid reminder from your calendar or those K-mart advertisements (With the happy kids running up to their father). And if you hate your father - it's just another reminder that not everyone else does...
current mood: enthralled
