Hi.
*Creeps towards the screen, peering earnestly at the reader.
Wanna hear a secret?
*beckons reader closer....and closer....and closer.....
Yeah, I'm a little sick. Can you believe it? It's summer, the sun is shining....ok, it's shining somewhere beyoind those fluffy clouds, UV rays are lasering their way through my skin, ensuring my life span is shortened significantly, my friends are packing up and threatening to set the beaches alright....long story.......
and I'm sick. I have a runny nose, sore throat and an aching in my head.
Can it get any worse than this? Oh, yeah, I'm supposed to go to work tonight.
I've been shocking with the updates, I know. I just.....can't find the inspiration anymore! Or the time. It's stretched between work, sleep and fun. Hehe.
SPeaking of which...guess what I saw on Wednesday night?
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets!
Mind you, it was the premiere (Australians got it 3 weeks after everyone else!) and I was surrounded by 10 year olds. The worse part is I acted younger than them. *Smiles*
I absolutely undisputedly loved it! I found it better than the first one, merely because the story flowed better and the action was more pumped, thus as a 19 year old, I enjoyed it as much as a 10 year old...maybe more!
But they still chop scenes funnily. They kind of move on from one to the next one quickly and suddenly. SO, the scenes flowed better in the firts one, because they kind of merged together. But this was just choppy.
But i did enjoy it. More action, more humour, more Oliver *swoons*. I love Sean Biggerstaff. I absolutely adore him. He's a brilliant actor, and he has the gorgeous accent! God...I could listen to him speak all day!
Oh right, he plays Quidditch captain, Oliver Wood. You know, the cute guy with the aqccent? Only 3 other people know who I'm talking about! Of course...they have good taste...and are a little nutty. *smiles widely*
But I was very happy. He didn't have enough lines, nor enough screen time, although when I get it on DVD, I'll be able to pause it on the shot of him...just him, no one else....it was heavenly on the big screen.
*looks around* Ok, I think I'be rabbited on enough about that. I just can't believe that he's still older than me! Dammit! There I go again!
Ok, what else has happened in my life? Saw the movie...got depressed...had fanatical thoughts in alternative reality where true reality doesn't exist...nothing new, really.
My travel plans are starting to organise themselves, thank god. I'm leaving in a month! Oh my god, I only have a month! I'm supposed to pay today, but I think that's highly unlikely. *laughs nervously* I should pay, shouldn't I?
But yeah, it's all arranged. All I have left to do is organise my flight to the Dominican Republic and I'm all good. By the way, anyone live in either LA or NY? I don't know anybody there and I'm going to be lonely. :( Or at least recommend somethings for me to see or do? I'd love the comments!
You know what I'd love to do? I would love to attend a taping of the Conan O'Brien show. I know, I'm definitely in a minority group there (Hey! Nothing new)but he's my fave talk show host. I li9ke him even more than Rove! And that's saying something!
Of course, if you're reading this and you'rew not from Australia, you have no idea who I'm talking about. Rove. Rove McManus. Australia's answer to jay Leno, Conan, David Letterman, Oprah and Jerry Springer all rolled into one. And I can't get onto that show either! Grrr....
WHy can't perople make shows or movies here in Brisbane? Goddamit, or even concerts? I miss out on all the good stuff. I never see celebrities, unless you count cricket players. But In only recognise them because their names are on the back of their shirts...and I only realsied they were cricket players last year.
Hayler Lewis comes into the store from time to time. Paul Stewart from Blue Heelers came in once, and so did Matt Klim. Is that his name? The bald one? Dammit, I don't know the difference. But apart from that, I really haven't met anybody famous. Or attended any TV show tapings. Or visited a movie set......ok, I've seen a few concerts, but they're rare! Most abdns don't even bother coming here...ther bastards...
Yeah, I know. I'm ranting and raving...If i keep this up, I'll start foaming at the mouth! But my mood is slipping again...I need a holiday! A nice, long holiday where I can just escape everything.
This is what led me to going on that exchange a few years back. I needed to get away from my family, my friends and my surroundings. I needed a break. Of course, I ended up missing them immensely. Ans then when I got back...well, I haven't felt like this since then, so it's not too bad.
But now...now I need a break. I nee dto get away. Get away from my problems, from my life. I need to immerse myself in something different, yet slightly familiar. I guess I'm trying to get in touch with my past, present and future.
It's not that difficult. I just go to Europe. It's my past: I was born in Poland, my entire family lives in Poland and I spent a month in Portugal. It's my present: I'm there in my physical state. And it's my future: visiting places I haven't seen, contemplating where I'd like to work and visit in the future. Plus, Europe is the perfect mix. It has a long and celebrated past, it's groping around in the present, and it's making strong plans for the future.
Or maybe I'm just simply delusional. Delusional, creating this entire world to satisfy me. But then, why would I be so unhappy?
I prefer alternity to reality. Nobody gets hurt in alternity...except when i decide they're going to be hurt.
Angel.
