Chasing those wayward dreams

- Going for the Murdoch course! I will pay for it tomorrow ahhh so nervous god.

- Stopping my meds means my junk food cravings have come back in full force. I feel like a glutton.

- Awkward feelings with school! But, meh, as long as I stick by the teacher I like to work with (and she likes me too!) I ain't gonna make a fuss.

- I found Dune fic on the internet! GOOD DUNE FIC. As in, not written by me! Do you have any idea how monumental this is. Ahhh. I read it all afternoon and it made me so happy and the things I would do for a Dune cast, a dune anything these days, guys.

- Writing in patches, which annoys me, but writing is writing. I might do another writing meme just to dabble here and there.

- I rewatched Stardust lately! And I had forgotten what an enjoyable movie it was. I'm not sure what the book is like (and frankly, I don't care either), but the movie is something I could easily watch a lot just for the sake of entertainment. Because it is pure entertainment. I think this weekend I'm going to sit down and watch Constantine and An American Werewolf in London. Both are relevant to my interests and I haven't seen them in a while.

- Guys, I could listen to this forever. I just. I love covers like this. Someone get me all their albums.

- Did I mention I found good dune fic? This is like the highlight of my life right now.

- Still trooping through Pokemon. It's amazing when I replay this game that I start to remember my old tactics and still find new things that get me hooked. Because seriously, whoever invented that game knew exactly what he was doing.

- I should also rewatch Star Trek. Just because.

- I have my own computer! Granted, it's my dad's old one, but who's complaining? Not me, man.

- 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.

Someday, someone will use this song for a fandom I'm in.

I blame Star Trek videos for any bad music tastes I have recently acquired.

Britney Spears damn you.

DAMN YOU.

also I want a premium megaupload account so I can download these TOS episodes faster. Though I'm starting to see how slash was born from this canon. Because seriously Spock, I get Kirk is in danger but you do not need to beat the woman with your fists. The part that really cracked me up was.

Scotty - I just sent the phaser rifle. Did you get it?
Kirk - What phaser--[Spock walks in, armed with a large rifle] . . . Affirmitive.
Spock - :|

I should make TOS icons. And someone tell me if Shatner qualifies as a good or bad actor. Because I honestly can't tell anymore.

Edit - Screw it, I made them anyway :(

I want to be shameless and pimp my Kirk/Spock RP threads a lot because they all border on ridiculous and complete awesome. I have the best fucking Spock ever and I adore playing Kirk because I can get away with being a total and complete prat, an idiot and a genius all at the same time.

Tell me that's not beautiful. I dare you. But if you're curious, context for these conversations is here.

namarie: I'm so dead
neverending: ..... y-you win
namarie: \o/ I'M SO DEAD
neverending: I HOPE YOU ENJOYED LIFE AS CAPTAIN, CAPTAIN
namarie: IT WAS A GOOD LIFE WHILE IT LASTED.

namarie: Spock you have me against the wall and you're lecturing me on appropriateness. Honestly.
neverending: ... well you provoked me
namarie: ... I like your logic
neverending: My logic is amazing

namarie: Oh god Spock your expression. I FEEL LIKE I JUST KICKED A PUPPY
neverending: YES YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD FOR MAKING HIM FEEL EMOTIONS!!11!!
namarie: ... okay when you put it like that, I don't feel so bad anymore.
neverending: ... Well. Damnit.

neverending: Why are we flirting?
namarie: idk but my natural disposition is set on flirt.
neverending: ...true enough

Heeeeeee.
