REALLY? REALLY?

Now, I never thought that I would ever feel anything toward Katie Price (or Jordon, depending on how many times you've seen her topless). I mean, she's a sort of none entity, I neither loved her (although I'm astonished that people say "She's my hero!"... SHE'S your hero! Really? O_o), hated her, nor, til recently, pitied her; but watching "I'm a celebrity get me out of here!" I'm beginning to. A) If you're team Andre, surely you wouldn't be watching her, B) there have got to be better things to do with your time/money than torment her, C) she is most definitely not the person that most deserves to be hated in there, and D) really after Dec felt the necessity to tell her to 'shake everything' when she was covered in bugs, all the good jokes have gone! (Although, if you know any good Jordon jokes (I use 'Jordon' merely for the alliteration) do feel free to share.)

I know that she's now left, and to be fair, I don't blame her, and I realise that she can be quite an irritating none entity. But come on! How many trials can you make her do? =/ It got tired.




Sorry, I got distracted half way through typing this and have now entirely lost my train of thought and have run out of things to say....

Toodles.

OH DEAR.

I'm a bit terrible at blogging aren't I? Sorry. I would type more, except I live an ridiculously dull and tedious existence. If there were anything interesting to blog about I would.
Well, since my last post I've started uni in London, which is ok, [They're all normal down here!!! It's bizarre! I can't quite cope with sane people!!] dong 'Drama and Theatre Arts', not 'Drama and Theatre Studies' like most other universities. no, no, no, this sounds far more pretentious. Gotta love it.

Also, if you care [whoever it is that reads this *waves to stalker*] in may 2010 I shall be running from my uni 'digs' (as it were) to my own front door. 190 miles over one week (I hope). So, find my other blog (Yeah, I have two! Only since starting uni have I realised just what I dweeb I truly am) lost-her-mind.blogspot.com, and give me money.

BEST.LETTER.EVER!

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a radio personality who dispenses advice to people who call in to her radio show. Recently, she said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following is an open letter to Dr. Laura penned by a east coast resident, which was posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative:

Dear Dr. Laura:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other specific laws and how to follow them:

When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15:19- 24. The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?

A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?

Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?

I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? - Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Your devoted fan,
Jim

I'M 18!!!! WOOOOHOOOOO! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY

1. Which celebrity would you like to meet and why?
Ah, the gorgeous Mr. Tennant would obviously be my first choice, for obvious reasons.


2. What do you do before bedtime?
Read, daydream, read some more, wish I had a drainpipe.

3. One of your favorite quotes?
’To sleep perchance to dream, ay there’s the rub, for in that sleep of death, what dreams may come’ OR

I have no clue.

5. Are you an introvert or extrovert?
Introvert.

6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?
They are each one half of the wheel (reference to a Buddhist proverb). It means that to have one without the other would leave you incomplete and incapable of true happiness. Both are as important as the other.

7. What's the most important thing someone you like has to have?
Patience, I feel anyone who could fall in love with me would have to be so patient to put up with me. I’m a complete bitch.

8. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?
Let off a wistful sigh. They’d never like me anyway.

9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days?
Oh, my lack of drainpipe.

10. Do you have a good body-image?
LOL

11. Is being tagged fun?
What now?!

Facebook, Handclaps and Cowbells, tis all.

The PBB, always the amazing PBB.

14. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
What is this tagging you speak of?

15. What’s the last song that got stuck in your head?
Northern Downpour, Panic at the Disco.

16. What’s your favorite item of clothing?
I don’t have one

17. What's better: to give or to receive?
To give :)

18. What's the first thing you notice in people?
Their eyes.

19. Would you have 100% safe sex with a stranger for $10,000,000?
NO.

Daniel. I think.

YOU CAN'T JUST SPRING THIS ON US! :'(

David Tennant has just announced on the National Television Awards, that after the 2009 specials, he will not be returning as the Doctor.



There is no way they will find a Doctor this good looking ever again! I feel betrayed! According to all the reliable sources Tennant's contract was secured until the end of the 2010 series, and there were even rumours that he was extending it until 2011, but this was a lie!


If I had a heart it would be breaking.


I haven't quite let it sink in yet.


Maybe if I choose to ignore it and pretend it never happened, then it will go away.

David Tennant quit!!!




*sobs*

The Epicness of the Bare Stage!

Last night I sat in the audience of the Manchester Dance House in complete and utter panic. What if the props weren't right, what if they forgot their lines, what were we going to do about the magic dissappearing lantern, what was going to happen after the cue for 'Fie sir, fie!'?!?!

But may I say, the cast of 'King Lear' were absolutely amazing, I have never been so proud than when the lights went out and they all took their curtain call (although folks, there was no need to stand on stage for quite so long). It was amazing, it really was, and everybody onstage (and Jodie being frantic backstage) did so incredibly well. Seriously! Considering that we only started seven weeks ago, what they managed to pull off was astonishing. :) I am so very proud, and there's an odd mixture of relief, and real sadness that it's all finished. My last ever (extra curricular) play, and over and done with. *sob*

It'a also quite odd that now, for the first time in a good few years, I'll be able to go home on time on a Tuesday, Thursady and Friday. Imagine the strangeness. :)
Now, the following are quotes from the cards I got:

'We know it will be amazing,
We know this to be true,
King Lear will be super-great
And not a pile of poo'

'Hope the rehearsals have been going well under the capable direction of director Katie (LOL). I'm expecting a suitably grim play, no room for comedy in this one...Well done Katie (I think).'

'Good Luck dude!!'

'You shall be the next Steven Spielberg. but more feminine. And less American'

Thankyou folks! :)

*sniffle*
