My bucket list

Blog roll post

This week I had to think of a list of things I want to do before I die. So today, while I was at the hairdresser getting my blue highlights(I’ll post pictures tomorrow) I thought long and hard about that. My list only has 4 things on it:

1.Get a PhD. The bookworm inside me won’t be satisfied until that happens. Don’t ask why, but it just won’t. And while I’m at this it would be immensely fascinating for me to be able to work on a serial killer’s case(but I have faced the fact that it’s probably not going to happen.)

2.See Petra or Angkor Wat. Preferably both.

3.Finish a novel. I’ve been this ---> <--- close to finish the NaNoWriMo one for the past 5 months, but I just can’t seem to do it. I’m choosing to ignore the other failed attempts at getting to the magic “The end”. 4. Ride a motorcycle. Not everyday just…learn how to ride one. Yeah, so my list is pretty boring. I don’t want to be president, jump out of airplanes(although that would be kind of cool) or find a solution for global warming. The first 2 goals on that list are ambitious enough. And while I go sleep for the next 546382000 hours you can read what other people want to do before they die by clicking on the links on the right. Nighty night.

Here's a small preview of my hair(ignore the "Nirvana" shirt, ok?)

Who shot Nathan?

Dun-dun-dun…This is better then who shot J.R.! NBC has released the trailer for Heroes Volume 3 and in said trailer a guy who looks a whole lot like Peter is wearing a baseball cap and a black coat. Well, if you remember the guy who shot Nathan was also wearing a baseball cap and a black coat. And so the conspiracy begins. Did Peter shoot Nathan? Well actually it would be future Peter the one who shot Nathan seeing as present Peter was standing next to Nathan when he was shot. Wow, that was one confusing sentence. If it’s future Peter then why did he shoot Nathan? (He was one of my guesses but since I pretty much guessed every male character in the show that could have shot him it doesn’t count). Argh, this show is giving me headaches. The current theory is that if it was future Peter he shot Nathan to prevent him from exposing everybody. But why not just shoot him a little? Or go invisible for that matter? Oy, my poor brain. Here’s the trailer(look when there are 20 seconds left):



122 days left.

'S Wonderful, 'S Marvelous

I’ve learned anew thing today. Apparently the fact that I can never find a waiter that isn’t a complete imbecile is my fault. Let me explain. Three days ago, a friend comes and praises the waiters in a certain restaurant. Today(after a morning of fun shopping, but I’ll get to that in a minute) I was hungry and in the area so I stop there with mom to grab something to eat. We sit down. And wait. And wait. And wait. Waiter finally comes. We ask for menus. No drink orders. He turns around, ready to leave, and I have to flag him down to beg for something to drink(dehydration is not my friend). Waiter comes back with drinks. Waiter disappears into the darkness. We wait. We wait. We wait. Still no waiter in sight with our menus. I get up, go inside, track him down, ask again for menus. His reply? “Oh, I thought that was it.” Why, yes, I asked for menus because I simply couldn’t pick a soda without looking at one. Finally I get one menu(because mom is my imaginary friend and only I can see her) and decide what to eat. And wait. And then wait. And when we’re done waiting, we wait some more. It took him 20 minutes to come back to our table. Now keep in mind that there were 4 waiters and only 6 or 7 tables occupied(2 in his section). Finally he arrives, we give our orders which arrive surprisingly soon. Is it just me or it’s twisted to wait 20 minutes to order and 5 for food? So I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m simply to ravishing and they love having me there and that’s why I can never get decent service. I swear, next time I am going to…gah!

Now to the fun shopping part. I normally hate shopping. I am not genetically set up for it. But today I had fun shopping because, well, I went shopping for a new phone. Now I had no plans of coming back with a phone when I left this morning but, hey, life’s unpredictable. So, I have a new phone! And it’s pretty, and it has a touch screen and a 5MP camera and I love it! Isn’t it pretty? I love electronic, shiny, new things!

Tick, Tick, Tick, Boom!

I declare this WHINE FREE zone! For the next 48 hours no one is allowed to say a word to me about what stupid boy/girlfriend did, about the stupid car that is or is not working, about the neighbours that just can or can’t do something. I do not care. I want 48 hours of peace and quiet and if you want to whine or complain, you’ll just have to wait for the 2 days to be over or just find someone else. And for the fucking record, don’t tell me a “hilarious” story, but “absolutely hilarious” and so on and then when I don’t find it funny say that I had to be there. If it’s a “you had to be there” story, then I(and the general population) will probably not find it funny. Oh, yeah…it’s also a bad idea to complain to an insomniac that you couldn’t sleep for the longest time last night. Guess what…neither could I! Ugh…some people. And also if you want someone who can fix your computer for free then honey, sleep with Bill Gates, cause I am so not going to. I’m done for the next 2 days. And if anyone tries to complain I will stick my fingers in my ears and “la-la” them away!

Yes, I realize I just complained that no one else is allowed to complain.

(My annoyance has little to do with stupid people and a lot to do with my stupid computer who 2-3 days away from going bye-bye. But I can take it out on everyone else.)

Also, I’m debating getting some blue streaks in my hair? Suggestion, ideas, comments, opinions?

Presenting Lorelai Gilmore

IF I COULD STEP INTO THE LIFE OF ANY FICTIONAL CHARACTER (BOOK, MOVIE, TV) I WOULD CHOOSE ____________ BECAUSE __________.


Blog roll post

Ok, now you see, I hate being predictable. But this one is way too easy. So, if I could step into the life of any fictional character I would choose Rory Gilmore. *gasps from the audience* Took you by surprise there, didn’t I? Think about it: I’d get to live in Stars Hollow, have Lorelai to have movie marathons with, date Jess, have Lorelai in general, drink Luke’s coffee, eat Sookie’s cakes and cookies, meet Kirk(and maybe even start a list with all his jobs) and oh, so many other wonderful things. And when living in Stars Hollow would become too much for my less-sociable self, I’d get to go to Yale. And share a room with Paris(which would be a very interesting experience, to say the least). Of course, I’d have to implement some changes, because let’s face it, Rory screwed up some things. First off, I don’t think I could ever date Dean. I’m sorry, I’m sure he’s not that bad, but I just couldn’t do it(this obviously means I wouldn’t sleep with him at the end of the fourth season). Second, things with Jess would be a whole lot different. If he insists on going away to California(a decision I would have to fight against) I would probably date Finn while he was gone(what can I say, I’m sucker for an Aussie accent) and wait patiently for season 6 Jess to emerge. Although, I’d rather not have that. Third, no more stupid fight with Lorelai(which means no moving into the pool house and no D.A.R.). The only good thing that came out of that was Paul Anka(the dog, not the singer). Fourth, I’d kill little April or just find a way to never have her appear. Fifth, no stealing the boat and community service. Sixth, I wouldn’t tell Lorelai in season one that she couldn’t date Luke. That seems to be about it.

I’d make a great Rory.

And just so you can tell how much I enjoyed this post I have selected a few alternative titles: New and improved Lorelai, Gilmore Girls only, Introducing Lorelai planetarium, But I'm a Gilmore, Will you be my Lorelai Gilmore?, The third Lorelai.

Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days

What are you doing for summer vacation? Holing up at home or jetting around the globe to new, exotic places?

Week something of the blog roll


Alas, I’m well behind on the blog tour but I am trying to catch up. So, as you can see, the topic is my summer vacation. And, sadly, as much as I wish I’d go somewhere I have a sneaky feeling my summer will be filled with trying to accomplish everything that is on my to-do-before-uni lists. I swear those lists hate me. There is a scene in Gilmore Girls(you had to have guessed that I was going to mention the show) where Lorelai complains that her list of things to do for the inn is the size of the line that all the Chinese people would form(if they walked in a straight line by you, the line would never end because of the rate of reproduction). That, my friends, is the size of my lists(‘cause I’m special and I have two, one of which is divided into 3 categories). Oh, the fun I’ll have. A summer filled with bureaucracy and shopping, my least favourite things in the whole wide world. The excitement is just overwhelming. And just to make sure that I have no chance of having fun there is the family wedding that I have to attend. But maybe(and that is a very big maybe there) I can take a vacation somewhere…*dreams of a nice, quiet place*

I am just fooling myself there. My lists are ginormous. I will be surprised if I can get everything done. Ah, well…at least you’ll all get the pleasure of reading to me rant about my lists for the next 5 months. Now won’t that be exciting?

I Can't Get Started

I’ve been bad lately. I’m not posting here, or on any of my forums. I’m not writing(well, I’m writing a bit but not enough). I’m not even playing enough with puppy. I think I’m suffering from a bad case of ennui. For those of you not familiar with the concept of ennui here is a little Gilmore video to explain it.



Yes, it’s so bad that not even coffee can cure it. Not even stupid jokes. Not House episodes. Nothing. I have not tried to supreme remedy for ennui yet but I think I will tonight or tomorrow night. What is the supreme remedy, you ask? Gather round, it’s a secret. *whispers* A coffee/Gilmore/ice-cream/chocolate/more Gilmore marathon. It’s the only thing that can save me. If that doesn’t work then I’m doomed. So, what do you think? Season 2 Rory/Jess/Dean triangle goodness or season 3 Rory/Jess being all lovey-dovey? I’m thinking of going for a combo: season 3 Rory/Jess/Dean/Shane square and then Dean/Rory break-up and a bit of Rory/Jess. Yeah…I think that’s my only hope. But until then…I have ennui.
