SO BLOW ME

[quixotic]

- Got into Murdoch/Kaplan's Bachelor of Psychology! 

- Might also apply to British Council's teaching courses to pass the time.

- Need to get a job!

- Need to write more.

- James Cook University is having their open day tomorrow! sob so much for my free time this weekend.

- 66/100 icon slots filled!

- I said this on my lj, but I fucking love Supernatural.

- Watched Prince Caspian! Which I enjoyed! I really do like what the movies have done with the books, because face it, as much as I loved the books, character development/substance wasn't very strong in the first two (but great in the Dawn Treader, so if Hollywood fucks that one over, I'll never forgive them for it :D). Reepicheep was suitably badass, Peter the prick was delightful, Edmund was adorable and I really wish I could like Susan more but I just can't seem to.

- One of the things that I thought about recently and it used to crop up in fandomsecrets a lot was the argument about westerns playing eastern characters/countries/etc. And I talked about this with a few people about how bizarre it was to me. I'm from the East! I've lived my entire life in the Easter hemisphere! Yet, I am more inclined to playing Western characters. To be fair though, I had a strong anglicized background which ostracised me from my peers for about... a good twelve years of my life. I have lived a life being a part of both worlds and never truly understand either one completely. I wonder what that says about me....

- Gosh, DW giving me paid time was a great ploy. :( I want to update every hour because of my new icons.

PRINCE CASPIAAAAAAAN so much love for the Narnian movies indeed. MY LOVE FOR REEPICHEEP IS NEVERENDING ♥

[quixotic]

REEPICHEEP WAS AMAZING AHHH he was my favourite in the books too.

[beyourwings]

ELEVEEEEEEEN ♥

Mine too! Caspian and Dawn Treader were my favorite books too, so I loved that they decided to film them as well :DD

You know who else I loved? Puddleglum!

[quixotic]

PUDDLEGLUM yessss. Dawn Treader is my favourite book and I hope they do a good job of it.

[beyourwings]

Do you know when it's supposed to come out?

[quixotic]

Uh, fall this year? Not too sure though.

[beyourwings]

Aww, can't waiiiiiit!

[quixotic]

Me neither.

-- James Cook Uni?

lol man, APPLY TO UQ we could chill.

[quixotic]

Not the one in Australia, unfortunately. They have a campus in Singapore! Which is where I am applying! Buuuuuut if I get my bachelors there (or Murdoch in Singapore), I can come to Australia to do masters/education shit!!

[batman]

Well, you wouldn't want to go to the one in Australia as it is in Townsville. You want to come to Brisbane, where the cool kids (aka me) live!

[quixotic]

Yeah, when I saw the locations list of JC unis, I was like, "Townsville doesn't sound super appealing to me..."

[batman]

I very nearly ended up working there, and to be honest I'm glad I didn't get the job. It got flattened by a cyclone shortly after I was rejected as a judge's associate so clearly it had it coming for me, and was just pissed off I wasn't coming!

COME TO BRISBANE we have three awesome unis and infrastructure and stuff. AND ME.

[quixotic]

You broke his heart, clearly.

And you being in Brisbane is clearly a bonus and something I will consider!

[batman]

Poor little Cyclone ... whatever its name was. There are so many that annihilate Townsville, I forget what they're called. I know it wasn't Larry, that was the year before.

IT ALSO HAS BEACHES. AWESOME BEACHES.

[quixotic]

Pfft.

I tend to be terrible with beaches. I AM A JUNGLE GIRLLLLLL.

[batman]

We have rainforests. Close enough.

[quixotic]

That works!

[comfortingsounds]

Congratulations on getting in, honey. ♥

I never read Narnia, but I enjoyed the movies? YEAH I KNOW.

[quixotic]

Thanks! It was ...50/50 too.

I grew up on the books, so I hold fond memories of them! Still, I know better than to expect anyone making movies of them to be faithful to the books completely because that would be painful.

[comfortingsounds]

Hey, it's still something to celebrate. ♥

Yeah, in the end expecting the movies to be faithful to the books is kind of pointless.

WAIT A SECOND

MURDOCH AS IN MY CITY'S MURDOCH?

[quixotic]

The same uni, but different location, dearest. They have programs with another education facility called Kaplan.

[polyserena]

:< you should still come here for a semester or something, it'd be awesome.

[quixotic]

I could try! No promises though.
