I'm sitting in the Law Library hogging a computer someone might need. I've got a lot of other things I should be doing. So, naturally, I'm here to write about the slight inanity of my life. :) I've actually been avoiding livejournal for a while (not to avoid my friend updates - "Friends are so overrated!" (sarcasm)) Rather to avoid various television addictions and actually partake in some real life. Reality is cool too.
So, I return in a much more healthy place and am now actually able to hold a normal conversation without exploding "DID YOU WATCH THE LAST EPSIODE OF HOUSE?!" in the middle of it. Quite constructive for friendship building I find. :) I can also now actually miss an epsiode of Lie to Me and not feel like my life is incomplete. This is a bonus I'm sure we'd all agree. (Well, maybe not all of us...)
Anyway, in the last two months I have managed to get two jobs (one's a volunteer position with the Oaktree Foundation - www.theoaktree.org), be voted Best Overall Delegate for the South Australian Model UN (including an all expenses paid trip to Brisbane for the Asia Pacific Model UN)and achieve adequate grades at university. I've done nothing to deserve any of it and I'm once again convinced of God's unbelievable provision, it's crazy. Life is now extremely busy and a little stressful, but I feel like life is finally taking off for me. I have direction, I have money, I have hope and I have Jesus. It's looking pretty good. :)
So, yeah, I'm back again and totally prone to relapses *does Huddy dance for joy* (that was a House reference for those of you who don't know... or care!) Of course, most of my icons are TV related too... well, I'm getting there ok! I had six weeks 30 Rock free!
Oh yeah, saw Phantom again last Tuesday. It was AWESOME. As usual. The SA production was probably better overall thanks to the more intimate theatre setting (the Adelaide one was in a Entertainment Centre more like the Standard Bank Arena) and better female leads, but the Phantom (Anthony Warlow) was the best I've ever heard. He was the perfect mix of mysterious, pure tenor and gruff (in a disturbingly sexy way). He was brilliant. I was also on Taiwanese TV for an interview! It was rather hilarious because we were randomly pulled over and asked questions about the show. All this was prefaced by 'Say hello to Taiwan!' *confused look*
My favourite question? Which character is your favourite? Christine? Raoul? *horrified* RAOUL? No... They were a little surprised when I said Carlotta. Most people are though. It's a toss up between her and the Phantom. I'm strange like that...
EDIT >> I completely forgot to add that I went to see Kate Miller-Heidke, which goes to show how scattered my brain is right now. IT WAS AWESOME! She was fantastic live, even better than in recording sometimes and her band is the funniest. (Leading into 'God's Gift to Women': 'This song is about creepy old men.' *bassist, an older guy named Ben who pwns at the bass, raises hands in appreciative thanks* 'Yes Ben, it's about you...') Brilliant. Also, her back-up singer/acoustic guitarist changed strings in the middle of the song in time for her solo. It was pure awesome. So, yeah, all in all awesome was abounding. Topped, I might add, by the signing of my CD at the end. She's even cooler in person with her awesome headband, quirky dresses and AWESOME striped connies. KMH, you're a legend!
Anyway, I have used up my quota of guilt-free procrastination and must now go and do some work.
Cheerio!
