wongsiu/alison, you are a beauty.

stunning beauty.

so is a certain Mr M Hales.

i tried to improvise a little poem to my mailbox today to ensure its arrival because i had a feeling deep in the pit of my stomach. despite the shit quality of my poem - not rhyming and being a bit incoherent - my gut feeling was absolutely correct.

i am now listening to.... Strange and Beautiful. yeah, i know. it's on the single. because.....

anyway, there are three fantabulous b-sides. one of them was from The Hall recordings. i�m listening to them for the second time now and it already feels like i�ve heard it several times before. as though i know it already (deep in the pit of my stomach). i love The Second Time.

(god, you�re cruel.)

he he. All Or Nothing rocks my socks. the end of it is so buffy.

the rest of the day: i had a good day. despite the fact that it�s a monday and i have two APUSH tests this week, i was really awake and therefore happy if not a bit too happy. i should do this more. being sad is bad enough, but acting sad has a multiplier effect in which you make you, and others, who surround you sad. then they, in turn, make you sad and if there are many of them, every one of them makes you more sad and you�re basically finished by the end of the day. but you if act happy, the same happens but in a very positive way.

i was feeling a bit crap and managed to read horoscopes for an hour last night (till one am. haha) things i found out:

matt hales and i are completely incompatible. we are opposites in a non-attractive way. we�re like the antithesis of romeo and juliet - so star-uncrossed, we�re star-parallelled.

with ben, however, we�re opposites, but in an explosively attracted way, which means that it either works great or it works out horribly. perhaps with a city of dead people. �a plague on both your houses!� shut up.

the annoying thing was that they kept saying that i was flamboyant. leos are vain, yes, but flamboyant? after living through today, i can say that i may be, in some circumstances....

(also weird is that leos are loud, exhibitionists and natural leaders, king of the jungle etc. etc. now i�m also a rabbit in chinese years. that, apparently, makes me a passive follower. both are right i suppose. but it just goes to show that either a) they don�t really represent you; or b) all people have a bit of all the aspects. so this is all very bogus. i just want to say that i don�t believe in horoscopes. i just like to think so. i like to lie to myself. simplifies things. then when you realise, it complicates things. also has to do with ascendants, of course. interestingly i�m capricorn ascendant. probably doesn�t make me any more compatible to him....)

the APUSH thing continues. basically, i have half an hour in which to talk crap. and i use it well. i told a room full of smallville fans (maybe too strong a term, but they like it) that smallville is shit and that tom welling and kristin kreuk can�t act to save their lives. now that i�ve typed this, i feel like a generalising idiot, but there�s too much moderation in my life. all this political correctness is bullshit. i was about to correct it, saying that it�s important to not insult anyone but then i realised that i�d be compromising myself and that would be a stupid thing to do in a personal diary.

back to smallville. they�re all in love with lana lang and are insulted by my claims that she even if she has any personality, it�s very unlikable (all the writers fault, of course). and kristin kreuk can�t act. but just to throw in some back story i had to reveal the fact that i, too, was once in love with her in a straight girl way. not really shocking, but maybe it is here. (or maybe i�ve been educated in too many girl schools. were we really gay?) i like to look at their reactions.

then i went on about clex. everyone was really scared by then, except this girl who reads fanfic. yay, fanfic buddy! (don�t worry ticca, you�ll still be my one and only when it comes to all things fanfic.)

i swear i�ve heard Over before. in a dream, perhaps. told you, we�re star-crossed.

ETA: about 6 pm: you can listen to matt talk about stuff here. it's about 19:18, so fast forward past all that sophie ellis baxtor stuff.

highlights include:

"i'm the captain of the good ship aqualung."

"there are toads and wizards' hats. and she drags me out."

"only dreadful, pretensious types with no friends"

"where the wizards live, and there's always a froggy"

<< happy happy happiness. in a fangirl way. >>
