intro post
I'm Angela. If you sit behind me, I'm the one with the long black hair. If you're in front of me and turn around, it's blonde and pink at the moment. If you sit next to me, you'll know who I am - I mutter a lot.
I live in Newport (that's on the Northern Beaches... if you don't know where those are, not only do I pity you, you poor deprived person!, but I suggest watching Home & Away 'cos that's what it looks like, they film a couple of suburbs up from us - self important so-and-sos) and it takes me between 2 and 3 hours to get to and from ACU. Commuting makes me homicidal.
I watch more television than is healthy. A short list of shows I fangirl follows - Bones, Grey's Anatomy, Blood Ties, Private Practice, Law & Order: SVU, New Tricks, 30 Rock, The Bill, NCIS, House, Lost, Bleak House, The L Word, Law & Order: Trial By Jury, Conviction, Absolutely Fabulous, Gossip Girl, Monarch of the Glen, Bad Girls, M*A*S*H, Californication, The X-Files, Weeds, Silent Witness, Spooks, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Frasier, Dexter, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Commander in Chief, F/X: The Series, Hollyoaks: In The City, Hustle, Men in Trees, Oz, The Worst Witch, Black Books, Firefly.
As you can see, a shedload of tv. But I enjoy it. And since I'm a little Pisces, fandom is a great way to facilitate my tendency towards escapism.
I did 4 unit English in high school but I wasn't very interested. My teacher was extremely cool, though. And Irish. My Irish English teacher.
I'm doing Literature, Behavioural Science and Drama (like Lisa J) but she does another subject. And I don't because I'm tired and lazy.
Shakespeare is my literary love and the Bell Shakespeare company is my favourite theatre company, alongside ATYP. 'Cos I'm their minion. Most awesome people to act in those companies - Saskia Smith, Linda Cropper and Hannah Hodgson.
Other favourite authors include Joanne Harris (I may have read Chocolat more than any other book, including all of the HP series - which is a feat because I've read the first one at least in the double digits) and Matthew Reilly (because trashy action is very important), not to mention Tolkien and Rowling.
The Thirteenth Tale = ♥
I'm currently reading - The Enchantress of Florence by Salman Rushdie. I'm currently watching - Cheers (it's bad but I have a chronological issue which affects my tv habits, often to my detriment)
I dislike Terry Pratchett.
BPAL is my latest obsession. Right now I'm wearing Desdemona. How appropriate! I'm sore there isn't a scent for Puck or Ariel but maybe one day.
My birthday is in one week. Last teenage birthday, oh noes! But it's at Mardi Bar and all Lit students are invited to come be inappropriate with us.
The coolest people in the world right now are David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Claire King, Kate Duchêne and David Tennant. I have a small, strange world.
And I'm also wearing all pink today.
Now I vanish in a puff of (obviously pink) smoke. But you'll have to imagine that.
