1) I am seeing Ben Whishaw LIVE IN LIKE FOUR WEEKS. I CANNOT FUCKING TAKE THE EXCITEMENT. AKDGJDBNGJSLGJF. IF I DON'T GET A PICTURE WITH HIM/AT LEAST MEET HIM i WILL BE GUTTED.
2) Tomorrow's my sister's 27th birthday. Whoa.
3) I'm becoming just a tad obsessed (though I like to call it "fask-i-nated") by musical theater. I just discovered the book to this show called Runaways from the 70s. There's this song in it called "Song of a Child Prostitute." The lyrics kill me:
( Just pretend you feel good. )
If you skip to 6:40 you can hear a 13 year old Diane Lane singing it. CHILLS.
4) I've made a personal Tumblr here and I'm gonna start posting on it more often. Add me if you've got one!
5) I went to the library! I took out an audiobook of Little Bee on the suggestion of ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) handwrite , as well as The Idiot, Fargo, The Complete Short Stories of Truman Capote, and a book about Old Hollywood ~scandals~. Plus I've got Generation Kill, Bleak House and Little Doritt from Dickens, and I plan to reread Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, as well (haha I'm a loser). And this is ~just tha beginning~~.
6) My camera is in the shop! FINALLY! I Fuck's sake.
7) The other day some girls at the bus stop at school were laughing at me/making fun of my hair/clothes. Lol. I don't even. I was prepared to rant about this because it was kind of a big thing but I don't even have the energy anymore. I'm fairly insecure but there are just some things that I really couldn't give a fuck about,.
8) My bank account is waaaay in the negative and since I have no job I sold some of my text books at the school store on Monday. I got back $50, surprisingly...but I don't want to deposit it. I really don't want to. What a waste. I haven't had money for weeks and once I finally get it (and need it) I have to pay some bullshit because my mother took money from my account and didn't tell me and blah blah...Sigh. I cannot wait to start working.
9) Also, jumping on le bandwagon

Ask me any question anonymously! Or boost my fragile ego tell me how awesome I am and how I'm fiercer than Naomi Campbell, I dunno.

| incoherent quick rant |
[13 Dec 2009|03:24pm] |
So right now I'm watching "The Stolen Earth" on BBC America right now (they're doing a Doctor Who marathon), and everyone has just discovered that the Daleks are back. And Jack is hugging Ianto and Gwen and telling them, "I'm sorry, but we're dead," and Sarah Jane is hugging her son and saying, "Oh, but you're so young!" And I'm just staring blankly at the screen because BITCHES YOU KNOW THE DALEKS AREN'T GOING TO DO SHIT BECAUSE THEY FAIL AND WHO GIVES A SHIT THEY SHOW UP EVERY FUCKING YEAR AND DON'T DO SHIT SO CALM THE FUCK DOWN.
And here comes Rose Tyler Defender of the Earth with her Big Gun and her Ugly Purple Jacket and I just want to smack the shit out her. Fuck's sake.
Yeah, I'm pissed. I am so over this bullshit can he just DIE? Seriously, JUST. FUCKING. DIE. The only thing making this watchable is Donna, but just BARELY. I'm gonng switch this shit off in about five minutes because I don't think I can even stand The Doctor and Rose ~uniting~ and then Rose getting her ~very own~ Doctor oh give me a fucking BREAK.GIVE. ME. A. FUCKING. BREAK. I told myself that as much as I'm hating on 10 and RTD I'll probably cry during EoT but I'm getting to the point where I HIGHLY. FUCKING. DOUBT. THAT. I'M GOING TO BE CLAPPING MY HANDS AND SHOUTING WITH GLEE WHEN THAT MOFO REGENERATES. YEAH, I SAID IT. BAM. I'M SORRY I NEED TO LET THIS SHIT OUT.

I am so very tired but I can't go to sleep, it's like I am afraid to sleep or something. Oh, sigh. Thank you helpme__rhonda and christianeee for the virtual gifts, so sweet <3.
"'Can a magician kill a man by magic?' Lord Wellington asked Strange. Strange frowned. He seemed to dislike the question. 'I suppose a magician might,' he admitted, 'but a gentleman never could.'"
I'm just making this quick post to share a PDF of (in case you didn't know by now) my favorite book ever, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. A very brief synopsis of it would be two rival magicians in an AU of Britain during the Napoleonic wars who revive English magic. One, Mr Norrell, is an unpleasant little man who spends all his time studying the history and practice of magic. The other, Jonathan Strange, starts out as a young and charismatic bachelor who takes up the practice of magic more as a hobby than anything else. A bunch of shit happens. Haha.
Hopefully someone out there who hasn't read it yet will pick it up! I must say it definitely isn't for everyone. If you don't like antiquated speech a la Austen and Dickens you probably won't like it. It's also an incredibly long read. But it has an awesome dry, witty humor and has the dark, eerie atmosphere of a winter wood. If you can make it to chapter 3, you're good. The journey you go on reading it and the characters you meet along the way are well worth the length, this book is the most satisfying reading experience I've ever had! Also, Lord Byron is in it. I could go on and on about it and probably have. I know I sound like such a nerd, forgive me, haha, I just really love this book for some damned reason. Apparently, there are talks about it being turned into a mini-series which I am not terribly opposed to.
So yeah, anywho - just thought I'd share the PDF for anyone who might be interested.
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
And please share, too! Recommend me some good books to read over my winter break. All I do is read books for school these days. Any classics you think are must-reads (for a Lit major I'm really bad when it comes to having read most canon novels)? Any new authors you think are awesome? What's the last great book you read? Etc, etc. Yay literature.
