...it's my word of the day from Dictionary.com, don't laugh at me:P alright, so i'm on the slow-laptop-belonging-to-my-sis-which-i-g
i know i wanted to update this, but i don't quite know what to say, really. i have all these pictures i want to upload here but i'm kind of worried this laptop will die if i overload it too much with uploading and connecting things via USB and whatnot, so i'll upload those after getting those farewell pics up because my friends want them and even though i don't look great in most of the photos for many varying reasons, i know my friends are adorable and farewell was fun and yeah photos are also fun.
i'm rambling. i really don't know what i want to say, heh. Well I finished Streetcar Named Desire, was quite surprised with it because it wasn't what I expected it to be, but it had a lovely, lovely foreword by Tennessee Williams which i adored(and wanted to scan for keepsake but obviously forgot, bah) but it was a nice play and i guess it'll benefit for both tsd and lit! I also finished reading this book called Other People's Love Letters:150 Love Letters You Were Never Meant To See which i recently got from the library because it was on the "What's New" rack and it caught my eye. It was so wonderful to read that, there were letters from like 1911(belonging to people's great-great-grandparents and stuff) which were written in like beautiful cursive, and there were screencaps of emails, pictures of text messages from handphones, notes written on napkins, basically the type of thing that ends up on tumblr and believe me, i'm going to take pics of a lot of the notes and put them on my own tumblr because some of them are really beautiful and while some are really sad, they're still kind of awesome to read. I thought it would be slightly depressing considering my love life is kind of non-existant(not that it ever quite existed properly, in the typical terms everyone subconsciously has in their minds) but it was really sweet and I found myself grinning at a lot of the notes and doodles and confessions and things. Nice book.
I actually got my book on World Politics for GP, as my tutor wanted us to read, so i shall painstakingly read that because it will help me in the larger scheme of things. I got some nice books this time round. I'm happy.
Argh my skin is ridiculously dry. It isn't a bad thing technically, but it's just so dry and moisturiser isn't exactly helping but egad it's just so dry! this better be worth it in six months or whatever. i want nice skin and fine i'll take the dry skin and the burning eyes and the copious sneezing after getting my very-lathery-facewash up my nose(which is obviously no one's fault but mine, because i uh, should learn to not get lather up my nose, heh) but yeah hopefully it'll get better with time. optimism is a righteous groove.(oh i miss shoebox!)
well, ah. hm. holidays? haven't been very eventful or anything considering i spent the better part of the past week in school doing stuff for dance farewell but now i'm really done with school for the year i haven't actually done much else. I went for tuition on saturday, reached early so got myself a cup of the wonderful starbucks peppermint mocha and had a great time doing uh like word problems on differential equations. seriously, ihad the the best time i've had at tuition doing calculus in a long, long time. and i didn't start doodling anything, i even got company halfway through as this girl who i know because she always sits beside me but not directly beside me, like there's an aisle between the room and we sit on either side of the aisle. and yeah she came late because it was pouring and orchard road was jammed and someone else was sitting in her place so she sat down beside me. its kind of sad that i don't know her name, but i have a feeling she does theatre studies too. she also dresses nicely and seems like a nice person. we've talked a bit but yeah i'd love to get to know her better. bonding over maths can be fun! but yeah i realised calculus becomes so much more fun in word problem form because i also had this much fun doing the same thing two years ago at Mrs Liew's math classes(which were such a blast, seriously) and yes, fine you can think i'm a math geek but i find maths very calming. And kind of fun.
Today i went to dance class, had a good class and for once was made to stand front row, left hand corner after what has to be years, because we've kept shifting rooms and stuff and when i joined my class again after O's this year i stood at the back because i needed to catch up with stuff and then i just remained there. i've always liked standing front row, left hand corner because it's in the front, but it's not right beside the door, so it provides some sort of i dunno, kind of blocks you from the outside? it's a spot i find very comfortable, and it provides me the like problem of space, so i kind of learn to not move too much either because space constraints apply better there(even though this works at the back too because then i could never move back too much). i dunno, i was slightly nervous to stand in front again after so long but once i was there i kind fo couldn't stop grinning, and i was wearing a brand new purpley/pink sari and i was feeling kind of awesome so everything went pretty nicely.
other ramblings? well i caved in and finally watched high school musical 3 because everyone agreed that 3 was better than 2 and 2 thoroughyl disgusted me, because it was like just painful to watch! but yeah thought i'd give hsm3 a chance so i did and i swear i still found it pathetic. the music was kind of bad and believe me, though i don't LOVE LOVE LOVE glee, this just proved to me how much more i love glee and how much better it is than hsm. ugh, seriously. it all seemed to me like a bad, bad, overly cheesy fanfic. ryan evans is awesome, obviously, but seriously nothing really stood out for me in the whole movie. except maybe roof!dancing, but even that was like so i dunno, saccharine sweet, well more nauseating than saccharine i guess, it kind of put me off. i felt like going OMG YOU PAID EIGHT BUCKS TO WATCH THIS IN CINEMAS and OMG HAHA I TOLD YOU THEY'D SHOW IT ON DISNEY WITHIN A YEAR to people who actually paid to watch it, and ugh i'm happy i didn't.
on a similar note, i cringed so hard while hearing the new moon trailer on the bus today and my mum kind of cracked up. she thinks the vampire eyes are ridiculously fake. and their paleness is also very fake. my mum is awesome.:P
i have been on this crazy matt nathanson kick lately, like SERIOUSLY. well for those people into the whole supernatural/j2 fandom-y stuff, i'm guessing you guys know about the Reinventing Love Verse fics by![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
_mournthewicked , because they are epic and legendary and like mindblowingly amazing and fun to read. but the things is they also have kickass soundtracks to go with them(they're mostly like a bunch of Big Bang fics so they come with amazing artwork and music and fun stuff like that!) that i downloaded because i've been wanting to get out of my John Mayer phase because that lingered for waaaaay too long and i was getting bored of it though i kind of refused to listen to much else. My favourite from the bunch of like six or seven fics is Tell Them We're Like Magnets and the soundtrack for that is kind of wonderful, consistingly of a lot of Matt Nathanson, some Matt Wertz(who is also a feb 17th person, i found out!), some Joshua Radin, Lenka, Jason Mraz, James Morrison, and Gavin Mikhail(ohmygod, this guy! I love his voice! I must hunt down some music of his. I swear Catch Your Fall is like an amazing amazing song.) Yeah basically the whole thing was pretty much the kind of music i LOVE, so i downloaded it, and really, the bunch of songs she picked was like great for the fic, but it also makes a very very nice album to listen to as a playlist or whatever and they're a lovely bunch of songs. So yeah i listened to that album pretty much endlessly for like a week, even when i went jogging and stuff and then i decided to go get some fo matt nathanson's old stuff and i did and it's been a lot of fun. He's so adorable live. He does dorky things like mraz used to. And Matt Wertz's I Will Not Take My Love Away is so, so, so wonderful.
yes okay music rant done with, now what? Photos still being attempted to upload. Facebook can be so annoying, seriously.
well fine i'll just add this in. I was ridiculously happy to find out that Matt Nathanson had an iTunes session album. From which, tracks were used for that fic soundtrack thingy. I love having like three versions of songs and knowing exactly what's different between them. Yeah I'm a little weird like that. I think I have like five versions of John Mayer's Neon and Daughters.
God it;s nearing ten. why does time fly so fast! I want to finish a math assignment on Sigma Notation, try doing an essay plan for GP, maybe get back here to finish reading essay scans or something lit related. Or geog.
but i must go jogging tomorrow! I haven't gone jogging in like three days and i feel weird about it already.
so now you see i'm saying kind of unnecessary things which aren't even interesting, so i shall stop here and FACEBOOK IF YOU DIE ON ME ONCE MORE I SWEAR I WILL TAKE DRASTIC ACTION YOU USELESS THING. yes uh, maths calls:D
