It's funny how slow I am

It took me forever to realize I could go to concerts. Then it didn't occur to me I could up and move with no good reason. Now here I am and I'm thinking, I don't have to daydream about visiting New Zealand (which I've wanted to do since first learning of it - sad, I know - six years ago when watching Once Were Warriors). I can go, and I intend to do just that, with lots of saving and lots of planning. I'd like to see if I can find a summer job and obtain a work visa, but if not, I'll go as a visitor and live frugally. I know how to do that, after all. Isn't that what college is for?Anyone have any leads for job-seeking, or dogsitting, or whatever? The search begins. I'm going. That is all.

Haha

My brother rocks. I crack up every time I pull out the compilation CD he made for me. On it is written:I have a soul and am unwilling to put Boy George on anyone's CD.Wonder why he wrote THAT? *whistle*

Does anyone

want me to make them any similarly disturbing 'become-your-favorite-character' pictures? Even if they're horrifying, it's really funny to look at. Lots of giggle material! Just post here - from any movie or show, just name it. I'm gonna be making Evil Dead 2 icons and that'd be a nice break, not to mention a challenge. (Hopefully I'll even be able to use PhotoShop!)

I've said it before,

but I say it again - you all must watch "All About My Mother," a beautiful, heartwrenching movie about the women who made us what we are, and dedicated to them, too."Look at this body. All made to measure. Almond-shaped eyes, 80,000. Nose 200,000... but if you're a flamenco diva, you'll need more. Well, as I was saying, it costs a lot to be authentic, ma'am. And one can't be stingy with these things because you're more authentic the more you resemble what you've dreamed you are." I'm crying, of course, and Madaline, too. These are the stories of all of our lives, even if they don't all involve cross-dressers.

How much do you know about me,

as measured by a 10-question quiz? Take my Quiz on QuizYourFriends.com!Even if you don't know the answers, I suppose you'll learn a little by taking it. If you're really bored.

Very tired,

and I promised Mads she could update her journal and reply to the kind folk who greeted her, so I can post but one horrifying thing - the product of our evening's labor:Hahaha.

Another quickie

That's not what I meant, still! Three cheers for Mads, now aka (three guesses as to what her name is, if your eyes weren't drawn there already) gimligirl - finally persuaded her to get an LJ account! Mwahaha. Feel free to stop by and say hello if you've got a moment; I'm sure she'd love you for ever and ever.I'll be doing some intensive posting later today, but for now I've got Mads cracking the whip. (Yeah, so cracking the whip LOOKS like dozing off to The Two Towers soundtrack, but she's the boss even asleep! Hahahaha!)

Heartbroken

The dad is crying as he's describing all the things he won't be able to do with his daughter, especially choking as he said, "I'll never walk her down the aisle.""Having to know how brutal the last hour's of her life were, my heart, and my wife's heart, have been broken."*sob*
