o hai there

I guess the hiatus is off. This place, it is needing a new layout. But anyway! What happened between hiatus and now?
1. I realised someone I loved is a Kumiko (read Murakami’s ‘The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle’). Hence the past tense.
2. I went to Sydney. It was wonderful. I want to go back for a nice long holiday. We’ll see…
3. While in Sydney, I saw The Phantom of the Opera for the seventh time. It continues to be wonderful and painful and beautiful.
4. I saw The Mikado the week before last at my stomping grounds. It was rib-breakingly hilarious, and those of you who are able to see it and have not done so yet need to stop punishing yourselves.
5. Health-wise:
a) I still have insomnia. It gives me dark circles under my eyes that make me look like a heroin addict.
b) Bipolar sucks! But you knew that.
c) I do NOT, I repeat, NOT, have nodes on my vocal chords!
6. I read the first Twilight book. I liked it — girly, fluffy fun. I read both the Tithe novels. Disliked them — please stop trying to be cool, Holly Black, it’s embarrassing. Finally finished Superior Saturday. MY HEAD EXPLODED. I don’t want it to end, dammit!
7. Everyone in my family either has or has had the rotavirus. Except me. I am not leaving my bedroom until the quarantine unit gets here!
Hiatus.

This blog will be on hiatus for a while. Sorry to anyone who enjoyed reading it. :/
愛の実験
I see you
And you see me
And you see me
I see you
And I see you
You see me
And now…
Here we go.
Okay, so.
Found another blogging platform. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that WP does, but it’s good enough and I feel easier using it. I’m also way too…raw?…in that blog to want it up for public consumption. So I guess I’ll just keep using this one for the more palatable side of myself? Hells if I know. Ughhh, LIFE. Why must you be always with the COMPLICATED!
ANYWAY. Ipswich long weekend! It was awesome, lazy, and relaxing. Ipswich is pretty — heritage town. So many old buildings and churches…and the riverwalk looked so pretty, too, but I didn’t go too far along it, because it looked like it was going to rain.
My apartment was a studio, and was really awesome. Just the right size for me and the invisible men, gigglesnort. Aircon, digital topbox thingy, kitchen…the works.
Speaking of kitchens: I set the fire alarm in my apartment off. How? By burning my toast. I kid you not. That is unbelievable. My life, it’s a sitcom…or an episode of Sailormoon. With considerably less short skirts.
Also, ABC Digital has a radio station…DiG Jazz. That is, jazz. Of all kinds. 24/7. I don’t think there’s an exclamation in my entire vocabulary that can possibly sum up how much win that is.
Managed to make a noodle stir-fry that was…edible! Udon noodles are my new favourite food evers. Love, love, and love.
Off to Sydney on Friday, for The Phantom of the Opera – seventh and final show for me (unless I completely vacate all my senses and follow the tour to New Zealand…very, very, VERY slim chance of that happening). I don’t want to look forward to it too much, because that musical is CURSED CURSED CURSED. Let’s only hope I don’t sob my makeup off my face in the final fifteen minutes, as was de rigeur with me during all the Brisbane shows.
Thennn The Mikado on the 15th! That should be a heck of a lot of fun.
Yep.
And she’s off.

So…hi there. Yeah. Been using a different blogging platform, as of late. Unfortunately I like it too much. I’m not sure me using it will ever be fit for public consumption.
(Because thousands of people read this blog. *snort*)
Anywho. This arrived yesterday and due to APPROACHING VACATION!!! I haven’t been able to listen to any of them yet, which makes me cross. I’d take them with me to Ipswich, but I’m terrified I’d damage the box or something (hey, patented klutz, here. I’m worried enough about my laptop!). So on Wednesday, when I get back, I shall bombard you with fangirling. Please don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Oh, stupid Irish band, I love thee ♥
ANYWAY YES. Heading off to Ipswich for four days in a matter of hours. The apartments I’m staying at look terribly posh, I hope nothing ends up going wrong. (Sorry, I think I’m pessimistic by nature.) May or may not have internet access. I don’t know. So, I’ll either see y’all this evening, figuratively speaking, or see you on Wednesday. Behave yourselves, now.
*love*
Blog, blah.

Ugh, so, I think I’d probably update this blog a hell of a lot more if the interface I used to do so wasn’t so damn clunky. I only use WordPress for two reasons, really: because it’s on the one-click install page on my panel, and because it had the LJ crossover plugin. Both reasons have been rendered obsolete, lately: I can install PHP software on my own, now, and I don’t crosspost to LJ much…I don’t have much of a hankering to use LJ at all, lately, so meh.
I’d switch to the Journalling Script, which is ancient…but…meh, I don’t know. Maybe a different blog-esque platform?
In other news, I think I smell strawberries. I must eat them.
夢
“You know how women these days are supposed to want so much more than the white picket fence in suburbia, the two-point-one kids and the nine-to-five husband? The big…white fluffy wedding, with family and a cake with a thousand tiers…
“And so many of them have it. And they hate it. It’s so mundane, so dull, so normal.
“My secret…my secret is, I want that. I talk big, but when I’m like this — when I’m worn down to tears and prayers — all I want is that.
“And a girl like me can never have it.
“I’d give up a part of my soul to be that normal.”
Get up POWER.
どうなるか何て？
わからない。
どうなるかよりも、
「どうするかさ！」
ありがとう、マイ・ブルー。すべてのあぎあとうございます。
IPA, and also stuff.

UNI HATH BEGUN AGAIN. My first linguistics lecture was this morning. It was interesting…I think I’m going to really enjoy it. Our first task is to familiarise ourselves with the IPA. It fascinates me…and it looks pretty, too, haha. Tutorials start next week, except for my Hinduism course which starts two weeks later, for some weird reason. (I go to the Unseen University. Yes, yes, I do.)
I do NOT like getting up at 6am to catch the damn train to get to St. Lucia in time, though :( I think I’m working on only two hours’ worth of sleep, too, because I remember seeing the clock go to 4…damn bipolar and its effects on sleeping. Once, just once, I’d like to wake up completely rested. It’d be nice!
I’m sitting outside on the new pergola, and the wind is blowing…I can smell the sea in it. Makes me want to go to Redcliffe…I haven’t been there in ages. Maybe I’ll make a day of going there after the beginning of August and all…
Started to read the Dune books by Frank Herbert. I’m liking what I’ve read so far. A desert planet…wonder if that’s my home planet. Hahaha. (I’m kidding. …I think.)
Another girl’s paradise.
You caught me lingering in another girl’s paradise…
You have come to discover what you want.
What I want is not to want what isn’t mine!
But I am desire…
Does it all come down to the thing one girl fears in the night
Is another girl’s paradise?
