bliumchikMY TRIALS. THEY ARE OVER. And it feels incredibly awesome. A crushing weight has been lifted from my shoulders (perhaps it will improve my posture). Also, I have good feelings about my 4U Viva Voce, and everyone seems to like my poetry, which is great. I wonder if I should post any. Probably not before it's marked, anyway, it would kind of suck to be accused of plagiarising myself.
Exams have been pretty good apart from Modern History, which I am stoically repressing. I suppose once my Drama HSC performance next wednesday is done, I'll be spending every waking moment doing practice essays for that. But all the English exams were decent (Ms Mas has, er, kicked the habit... go on, laugh) and drama. Well. We got a quote to "discuss." And I think everyone in my tiny drama class is in agreement that "Australian drama highlights elements of our society that reflect our concerns and culture" does not, actually, make any actual meaningful non-circular sense whatsoever. But then they added in "whether or not they are bleak or violent." So basically, apart from the implication of our society reflecting itself, we are given a reference to violence and... bleakhood. Without in any way asking us an actual question that relates to either concept. Obviously we're meant to talk about them, but it's an argument essay and they're completely irrelevant to the argument. What gives?
I texted Lizka to see about perhaps celebrating the end of my exams in a manner befitting my new adult status. She sent back "how do you feel about pole dancing?" to which I replied with "the novelty wears off around the first bruised knee... don't ask" because honestly that semi-formal will never stop being funny. Neither will my newest discovery: Beth is terrified of walnuts. I spent most of the hour between our modern history exam (repress, repress, repress) and my drama exam (her textiles exam) waving them at her and giggling manically. I feel like Lex Luthor discovering Kryptonite.
Just now my wireless keyboard went on the blink, so I set off to hunt up a new pair of batteries for it. In the process I discovered that, in the event of a zombie outbreak, the house is slightly less vulnerable than I'd thought - my dad has really wicked knives. They're in pretty poor condition though, one's rusty and the other is basically a butter knife that just happens to look like it ought to belong to a guy named after some kind of mineral. The joys of mountaineering!
And now: the memes.

lackofmendacity (who also linked to this for the lulz):
1. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
2. Tag seven people to do the same.
3. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag whoever wants to do it.
1. I never know what to do with my hands, hence my tendency to fidget or prod at my incredibly tense neck whenever they're free.
2. I'm not actually very good at playing the guitar. It's just that I find it hard to stick to a tune without accompaniment, and I had to learn the chords in order to write songs anyway, so...
3. Bizarrely, I'm falling into comics fandom without actually reading comics. I have no idea how this works, except that I find myself mentally appending bat- to things at inappropriate moments (although I maintain that any kind of bat-bondage-gear is entirely appropriate) and there's apparently something called identity-porn which is made of win. Also, Lex Luthor is clearly awesome. It's good to get into the fandom at an age when my suefic stays in my head where it belongs (she called herself Punchline and was a slightly less psychotic Joker-sidekick, if you must know).
4. I really want to start drawing again. I was only just starting to get good at it when I was swept away in a roiling tide of HSC procrastination. but soon, I shall have that magical thing: free time.
5. I tend to actually say "sssshhhh" under my breath when I'm thinking about something I really don't want to be thinking about. Previously it was "silence!" and before that "shut up!" which was harder to explain when I accidentally did it around people. First signs of madness: long gone.
6. I'm not sure why it took me this long to learn that "boutique" is code for "seventy dollar belts" but I suspect that I need to shop more.
7. One of my favourite fantasies is to be in a band like MCR or Panic. Except they're all boy bands, so it kind of involves a bit of serious drag. But that would be really cool.
I defy you, requirement three! Tag whoeverthehell.

Date: 2007-08-25 07:49 am (UTC)Sweetie, I've been stuck at home (seeing as my trials aren't over yet, you horrible gloater :*) with no one to hit on for the last 4 days. You expect me to read this line and just bypass it? *scowls*
On the plus side, I can totally hear you saying #3 out loud. *misses you* :(
Hmm, as for your meme... *muses*
I think it would really depend on the amount of clothes we're wearing, to be fair. Though my first reaction would probably be: "What did the 'How to come out to your friends' ettiquette guide have to say about these kind of scenarios again?"
And seeing as we're both blind as bats, I would be amused by a few minutes of fumbling around, looking for our respective glasses. :*
