tell me when you hear my heart stop you're the only one that knows

Am in bed on laptop listening to Amy Winehouse/Twilight and the New Moon Soundtrack on itunes, hung over or possibly still drunk from last night's effort - home at 6am. What the eff.

*LJ Cut....where are you going?*

Okay well I was gonna cut my nonsencial dribbles but LJ is obv on the crack again so *sorrys* for the spamage.

BIG night. Sore feet from effin delicious new heels but they are so frickin awesome I don't care. Was actually my birthday *hee* happy birthday to me. I'm officially a older woman it seems, two young guys were discussing the merits of COUGARS with me last night...:-? *shakes head and has another drink*. So it was an education...I learnt a lot from them, and I learnt other things like how I don't care WHO you are, after a few shots, it is impossible not to dance (badly) to Beyonce's Single Ladies. Don't fight it.

Anyways I'm supposed to be writing fic...am on deadline! But first I wanted to point out somethin random I saw on tumblr -(I LOVE tumblr man it's awesome. And the perfect procrastination tool (coz I neeeded another one) - some caps of THIS scene from HBP:

Ron: (about Ginny and Dean) What do you think he sees in her?
Harry: I don’t know.. She’s smart.. funny.. attractive..
Ron: Attractive?
Harry: Well you know.. she has nice.. skin.
Ron: So you think he is going out with her because she has nice skin?
Harry: Well, I dunno, I’m just saying it could be a contributing factor.
Ron: Hermione’s got nice skin. You know, as far as skin goes.
Harry: I-I’ve never thought about it. But I suppose, yeah. Very nice.
Ron: [long pause] … I think I’ll be going to bed now.

wtf. I've never thought about it.
What a bunch of ass. As IF he woulda NEVER thought about it. Not once? Not just a little sliver? Maybe a quick little thought in the shower? LOL. JKR really wants us to believe that Harry is a total monk when it comes to Hermione but PHuleeze.
I suppose, yeah. Very nice.
Whatevs.

Also in other completely pointlessly uninteresting HP related news, I've decided that the dude that played Cormac McLaggen was smokin hot. He could cross over to something else and be the new RPattz. Just throwing that out there. Oh *GOD* I AM a cougar. *sob*

Sorry for random uncut rant. LJ is obv still drunk too and wouldn't let me cut. Idk, what the fuckery.

Off to write xx

love is when you want a kiss and you get bit

Saw New Moon last night and frickin LOVED it.

( Cut for spoilers and for my flistys who hate Twilight ;- ) )

Does anyone know what's happening with the

hghpficexchangeThere hasn't been anything posted there for weeks?

What else ..I entered something over at

pairechallengetwo days ago on impulse and ugh...I hate every bit of fic I've posted this year. When I go back and read it all I just cringe and think why did I post that? :( Don't you hate that? Hopefully I'll post something I actually like one of these days soon...

Maybe because RL is a bit of hard work at the moment for reasons I wouldn't bore you with but oddly - I've just gotten back into running. I kind of had to - I'd been really slack and pigging out and not exercising and even though my weight doesn't fluctuate much, my mood is so badly affected when I don't exercise, I get a little depressed. So it's good to be out running again...ipod blasting....ideas for fic hopefully going through my head...

Okay I'm off to read the other entries for paire challenge to vote x

with a fire in my bones and the sweet taste of kerosene

Am up at 3.57am writing HHR fic.

Got back from tropical holiday yesterday. Was AWESOME. Now have to run for a week solid to get all that food and drink off my ass. Watched HBP again on the plane. And the H/G scenes are still SO freakin lame. How they expect us to swallow that shit...idk. What is with her feeding him and tying his shoelaces??! Wtf, man. Creepy. And Bonnie Wright is straight awful in that movie, I swear.

Oh and btw I now ship Eric and Sookie from True Blood.

Yeah. That's all.

*waves*

[Oh! And the wedding I went to went without a hitch...was totally strange coz the bride's family doesn't know that the groom is a lying sack of shit so they were all in lah lah everything is beautiful land and me and my mates just drank the bar dry and pretended the groom wasn't a lying sack of shit because in paradise, everything is cool anyway, right?! (sorta like how in space, nobody can hear you scream) But for the record; the groom is a lying sack of shit.]

if you see this girl can you tell her where I am

*waves* Hi :) It's me...I'm the one wearing the 'Still Alive' t-shirt.

Life is good. I think I might be *gasp* sorting my shit out. Finances and my business and houses and stuff, I'm so grown up lately I think I'm gonna puke. But it's all good, I've figured out that the better you sort yourself out, the easier it is to go and be irresponsible. If that makes any kind of sense.

I'm going to a wedding on a Pacific island next week! Not one where there's been Tsunamis (yet..touch wood) just a little one with a whole bunch of my friends and it's gonna be so frickin awesome. Sun, cocktails, no cellphone coverage. No wireless. (*cold sweat* But, I'm cool with that, I am....) AND the wedding is really controversial - lotsa baby mama dramas and we're all a little unsure if they'll actually make it up the aisle! Scandalous huh. So I may have a really exciting story about the moment where they say 'If anyone knows of any reason..blahdiblah..speak now or forever hold your peace...'. (Not that I'm HOPING for it, I'm just saying it's a possibility.) Or I might not. Watch this space.

But between now and when we go, I have to finish my fic for the

hghpficexchange *gulp*...I've had ages but still haven't quite finished...still I like working under pressure :) Have had my head in that fic for so long tho that I can't read any other fandoms..so big *sorrys* to all the authors on my f-list that I haven't been reading your stuff (espesh over at

pairechallenge for example) it's coz I get all sidetracked with my other ships and that means I can't write my Oh Teepee ♥ I'll get back to commenting & reading again real soon I pwomise.

In other news, my big sister is doing my (and my dad's and my two little sister's & my boyfs) HEAD in. But noone wants to tell her she's being a douche coz that'd take the next two weeks of our life to counsel her through it. Someone needs to invent a 'just stop being a douche' spray. I would buy it.

AND *I'm so excited about seeing New Moooooon* xx

you reel me out and then you cut the string

Strangely, I'm drinking a bourbon and coke. I just really felt like a coke and there was only this one random can of Jim Beam & Coke pre mixer just loitering around the back of one of the shelves in our fridge. With a bit of ice, it's actually kinda good.

So I've been a crap LJ-er lately. I've been really frustrated with my writing. I keep writing things but not finishing them or finishing them but not posting them. *sigh* I think I need a holiday. And so I'm having one! Tomorrow we're going to Australia to the Gold Coast for sun and beach and funparks. (Dreamworld! Movieworld! Seaworld! *inner 12year old loses her frickn mind with squeeing*) Catch up with some friends, drink and eat too much, you know the deal. SHOP.

I'll be off LJ for about a week. Not that I have anywhere specific that I'll be missed but just in case. Hope everyone has a good one ♥ xxx

ps Am JEALOUS of everyone talking about how great True Blood is!! Season 2 starts next week here in NZ :) Teh Yayness.
pps I saw the most beeeeautiful man today. He stole my breath away. Drop dead movie star gorgeous. I felt like I was being way creepy for admiring him like that. But whoa. I had trouble speaking with him, I can't even describe him. He was beautiful.
ppps [Edit] Something ate an LJ cut I just did. So ah. I've just deleted it. But LJ IS on crack. That's all I have to say about that.
pp...whatever - it's raining and thundering out. I love you, Sky x

I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, that much is true.

Stumbled over Juno on the movie channel and am watching again now. FTW.

"You should've gone to China. Yknow coz I hear they give away babies like free ipods.  They pretty much put them in those tshirt guns and shoot them out at sporting events."

"Your parents are probably wondering where you are."

"Nah. I mean, I'm already pregnant so what other shenanigans can I get into."

One of a million fave scenes. Juno FTW. That's all I'm saying.

I'm hungover. But it was worth it. Shenanigans till 6 in the morning. Good times. A guy in a club actually said to me;

"Do you come here often?"
Me: *squints up at him in disbelief*
Him: *looks back earnestly"
Me: "Uh..No." (thinking 'well, not anymore anyway.")

How's this for a weird sitch. Am text-comforting my ex-stepmother (from Dad's 2nd of his 3 marriages) over the breakup of her latest live in relationship. It's cool. But maybe weird.

Off to write fanfic because that's probably my favourite thing to do when I'm hung over. At the moment writing Wolverine and Rogue. Am also making a fic journal but dude, that's like boring homework or something. Can't wait till it's set up and I can just off load all my scribbles into it as they arrive.

American Idol? Idk. I think I wanted Allison to be in the final because I found I couldn't muster up the strength to care much in the end. But I think Adam is the real winner in that he doesn't have to sing that craptastic song that they vomit up for them each year. Seriously.

Anyway. Seacrest, out.

I forgot to say out loud how beautiful you really are to me

It feels like 400 years since my last post.

Work has been so all consuming that I haven't had any brain cells left to post with. Good tho, but I miss my fandoms :( I do still read my flist and love seeing what everyone is up to tho ♥

But today. I was driving along and I randomly, out of nowhere, remembered a poem I'd written when I was 16. It was about my ex's brother (who was haawt but that's beside the point) who was in his twenties and living with this woman and got her name tattooed on him. She was cool but he was a pretty shit boyfriend to her, tho I know he did love her. Anyway, she got wise and walked out on him. He didn't say anything, didn't act upset, but I could tell he was devastated. So that's why i wrote

( this poem. )

Long poem to remember huh!  It's not great but remember it's like 8-9 years old so excuse the rhymey-ness but I'm just writing it down before I forget it in another 8 years.....

A couple of questions;

>>>>>Dreamwidth.
...Why? (serious question, and I'm not baggin it but, remind me why I'd do that again? It's just like LJ.  But I've already got an LJ. And lots of comms and friends. So...?  Idongeddit.

>>>>>Paire fandom.
Is it evaporating in front of my eyes? It feels like people are jumping that ship like deserting rats!  Is it Kring? Is it lack of fic?  It makes me sad :(  Paireville feels like a lonely town with tumbleweeds blowing down the main street.....

Oh and. Wolverine. ♥ ♥ ♥  Oh Hugh. You did NOT let me down baby. You never do ♥ Freaking LOVED it.  Was like a defibrilator for my Wolvie/Rogue muse too....

Love to you flistys x

Boyf has put his back out. Am trying and failing not to laugh at him. He's walking around like all hunched over and stuff. I know it's not funny and all but ...............*mmph*. He looks like he's doing the chicken dance at all times.

Hmm, isn't it weird how you go to post because you've got lots to say but in the end you're all like.....'and uh....yea.' I got nuthin.

OH! cept this -

( THE FUNNIEST TATTOO I HAVE EVER SEEN )

Silly shit amuses me. Oh OH, and that reminds me of what I was going to blarg about...

( Dear Girl I Work With, Please stop being a Complete Arsehole. Kind Regards, S x )

But more importantly - isn't naive a strange word. It's strangely spelt. It's Evian spelt backwards.

she got home late, she got home late she drank so hard the bottle ached

Whilst my intention was to have one little glass of wine, I find I've had a few more than that.

And I've decided I'm *entirely* uncool. Terminally uncool even. For example:

♥ I like Twilight. The book, the movie. I even love Edward. This is not cool.
♥ I'm on Twitter. Tres tres uncool.
♥ I point out white elephants and inappropriately jump up and down when I'm excited. Arse puckeringly uncool.
♥ I'm in my mid twenties and I read fanfic on the internet. No, wait...that's pretty cool. ^_^ I ♥ you LJ.
♥ I know how to make lovehearts on the internet and I use them for bullet points. You get the picture.

Am thinking tho, perhaps I'm SO uncool...that it's cool. Eh, it's my last hope I spose.

In good news - TRUE BLOOD HAS STARTED IN NZ!! *jumps up and down excitedly before she remembers it's uncool*. Love it so much my eyeballs are watering right now.

AND (I'm sure you can relate..)......... What is UP with starting 400 pieces of fic and not finishing any of them. AAAaaaaaargh it does my frakkin HEAD in. (When Kiwis say head it sounds funny in our accent. Like 'Heed'. Or 'Heid'. Even I can tell that.) I think it's a symptom of having too many fandoms....idfk.

OOh Greys Anatomy is on! I'm gonna pour another glass of wine and watch it. (So uncool.)

But first here's a snippet of unfinished HHR fic just coz.. It's silly.

( He tells himself quickly it’s because of the Firewhisky and nothing to do with the fact that Hermione just said the word sexy full-stop; let alone that it was in the same sentence as the words Quidditch uniform. )

you come on like a flame then you turn a cold shoulder

I'm so behind on everything in my life right now...but weirdly, it's not depressing me. I'm kinda like, meh. I'm just happy cruisin.

Even behind on this meme! And I can't be bothered with sendspace right now so I'm not uploading them but....

1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. List (and upload, if you feel like it) 5-10 songs that start with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.

soulless_lover(who is one of my fave Wolvie/Rogue authors and who has the funniest collection of userpics evah *waves*), gave me the letter... **************M***************

( I spy with my little ear, something beginning with.......M........ )
Also - it seems like a huge percentage of my flist are having maaaajor fandom wank attack issues right now!! I'm thinking that there's a general grumpy thing going on...probably something trippy like the change of seasons turning everyone into gigantic wankers but....STAY STRONG flistys ♥ You ship who you ship, dudes. If people don't like it, don't let em get to you. Ignore their obsessive asses and don't let it stop you shipping everything with a heartbeat like I always do. Alright? *hugs*

Lastly - speaking of personal preferences? The Watchmen. The good action bits did not outweigh the speeches about humanity every 3 seconds. Will you please SHUT UP AND KICK SOME ASS. And the violence was squicky. Just pointlessly squicky imho.

Right. That's it. Happy St Patricks Day. Ooh and Friday the 13th tomorrow - yay. I always have good Friday 13ths.

let's sway under the moonlight, the serious moonlight

Um, excuse me. Why won't the frickin (boring) LJ announcement in my inbox delete? I've deleted it 3 times already and it still appears every time I log in. Step away from the crack, LJ, step away.

In other news, I'm getting addicted to Twitter. Reading other people's pointless musings and writing my own is F.U.N. (Not telling you my account sorry, coz it's under my reeeal name. LJ is my undercover fangirling outlet ya see.) Fun stands for Fucked Up Neurotic-ness btw.

And in other unrelated news, I found a heartstoppingly good ♥ HUGH ♥ Jackman (is there any other Hugh?) shirtless album.

As the author of said album says - Is there a sexier bitch than Hugh?

I think not.

For more Australia (Hugh & the-luckiest-bucket-o-water-in-the-world) screencaps click HERE

For the WHOLE ALBUM, including drool worthy shots from Someone Like You, X1, X3 & Swordfish like this:

love seems to stick in her veins you know

oh yes I *do* have an assignment to finish by the end of day. and lots of work to do. and stuff to clean. that's why I'm listening to music and posting on LJ. But I only just got the house to myself. *sigh* blissfully lonesome. And Procrastination my old friend, how I love you so *mwah*

( Just stuff about my OTP ♥ .... HHR )
Okay so I better go. But first there's this;

Dear RL Friend,

No, my life doesn't actually revolve around you. And if you were a real friend you would realise that, and be supportive like real REAL friends are.

And seeing as you mentioned it, yes, by the way, you *are* freakin high maintenance.

Sx

*so over it dudes*

No really, I am going this time. I'm gonna go put Paolo Nutini on real loud and listen to his hot Scottish accent and pretend that he's my boyfriend. Good times.

*waves to all my rockstar flistys*

OOh and hey [edit] guess what!!....

Find out what heroes character are you at LiquidGeneration.com!

...who woulda thought it. But you know, if I really WAS Claire, I'd have the hots for Peter. So...I'm not sure if Tim Kring and the good peoples at NBC would be that happy about my result here.... *runs off to snog Peter anyway*

this place is always such a mess sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn

Whoa, busy RL. Lots of work on but this is good because I'm working for myself now. But I'm sorry if I'm not so vigilant with replies & comments x

Today I saw a Honda Accord rear end a Ferrari. I think that person won the bad day comp.

OOH shiny, I got nominated over at <lj user="paire_awards"> ( I don't know why that link won't work...) This is very cool oh anonymous person who did that. Now if I knew how to put the flash 'Igotnominated' button thingo on here I would but I don't so I can't.

Need to tune my brain on to a non-work frequency so,
( 44 one sentence quick as shite answers QUICK! Don't think! Just answer! )

Okay that was a nice bit of pointlessness and now I can go to bed.

ps - Upon viewing Golden Globes 09 fashion pics in depth now I thought I should've memo-ed Drew Barrymore like this;

Dear Drew

Please swap heads with Eva Longoria.

This will stop you ruining a nice dress with hair that makes you look like a drunk 65 year old hooker.

Best regards,
Sx

I just had to get that off my chest. That's all.
