I went to bed at 4:30am this morning because I read all night. North and South (by Elizabeth Gaskell), though slow to start, is most riveting in ending. It’s one of those gorgeous but frustrating love stories in which the characters (Margaret Hale and John Thornton) persist in making all the wrong decisions which lead them apart from each other, much to my existential angst. And it doesn’t let up on the anguish it causes the reader to the very last. Indeed, it’s only in the last three pages that everything is made right. I thought I was going to die before the end. Anyway, it was very good.
And I’ve just started Jane Eyre, which is also very pleasing, though I’ve only read two chapters. Very soon I shall have to stop reading these books. I’ve started to talk quite strangely as a result. >.<

*sigh*
The best summer ever is... well it's almost over. I can't believe how quickly time goes. I hate it. I hate the way everything keeps happening and time keeps moving on and things you want to last forever are over before you even realised they began.

Wow, I didn’t write once in February.

That's right, I'm a kinky bitch. *kinky-ness meme* I blame it on the fanfic.

Ok this was going to have a point, but now I think, so much more fun to do a random LJ spam... and a real update tomorrow... maybe, if I can be bothered. (Highly unlikely, but stranger things have happened. LIKE UFO SIGHTINGS.)

It’s 12pm and she’s still asleep, covers drawn up to her chin, a comfortable bundle of warmth. Coffee, toast, a shower and an hour later, she’s sitting at her desk, drowning in text books.

It has been a very long few days. Yesterday was the WAAPA Auditions Masterclass, which was worth every cent. Very humiliating, but very valuable advice and information.

The Last Five Years is GOD. The Wild Party is SEX. Musical theatre is LOVE.

I am “studying” for my maths test.

Blah. I feel horrid. I have a headache. Not too sure why. Slept a lot. Then it occured to me: it's the apalling lack of caffeine and nurofen today. So I took some nurofen. I still don't feel any better. So it must be the caffeine.

2. Paula needs a man in her life....is it you ?????? (the site is www.getyerrocksoff.com >.<)
3. Paula needs a miracle.
4. Paula needs a Chief.
5. Paula needs to be reimbursed $349.03 for Tailgate purchases.
6. Paula needs some love. Ease up, people. Girl got all that pain. She needed some of that special healing. We forgive you, Paula.
7. Paula needs to train her voice with utmost discipline. (IT'S A SIGN... 0_0)
8. Paula needs to look to the marathon as the area that she will have success on the world stage.
9. Paula's needs are fulfilled by Frank and the maid, both of whom rush to her side summoned by a bell which she keeps at her bedside. (...)
10."Paula needs you to fuck her so bad," she whimpered, desperate with need. (I found DIRTY STORIES.)
Oh. This is fun. I'm extending it to 15. Cuz there are some good ones...
11. Paula needs to get sober.
12. Paula needs to consider those of us in the Dark Ages.
13. Paula - Needs to lose 20 pounds. (Ouch.)
14. Paula needs some friends.
15. Paula needs to take her medication.
That's all folks.

Ah the benefits of holidays. No, I'm not talking about sleeping late or doing stuff with friends or getting really drunk (*snort*) or it being Christmas which means (1) I'm legal (as if anyone cares) and (2)PRESENTS. No indeed these pale in comparison to....CRAPPY TELEVISION!!!!!!
Oh and for fun:
Dear Santa...
Dear Santa,
This year I've been busy!
Last Sunday I signed my organ donor card (28 points). Last month I didn't flush (-1 points). Last week I gave change to a homeless guy (19 points). In March I ate my brussel sprouts (1 points). In October I bought porn for flightof_icarus (10 points).
Overall, I've been nice (57 points). For Christmas I deserve an Easy-Bake Oven!
Sincerely,
