Oh. My. God. I am freaking out here, people. I just (well, awhile ago) walked to the video store, pretended to be eighteen, and rented "Trainspotting". And the guy who rented it to me knows my mum. He could so easily tell her. I finished watching it ten minutes ago, and it was so worth it (what with my Ewan being in it, although with unfortunate hair), but my God, I'll die if anyone finds out! How will I ever get it back to the video store? Mm, heroin addicted Ewan... But no! It's bad that I saw R rated, heroin addicted Ewan! I'm so dead.
I forgot to mention it before, but I've failed again. I'll never finish seven movies in twenty-four hours. Today is really my last chance. Of course, now that I have "Trainspotting" out as well, I'm even less likely to fit all of Ewan's movies into the twenty-four hour time frame.
This morning I asked mum to pick me up an entry form for the Kawana modeling competion on her way back from where ever she is today. Her response was to ask me if I really wanted to enter, because she's against modeling. This is probably mum's way of telling me I've got no hope, but I didn't hear it from her. But really, if I can win me money, I'll go for anything. Plus, competing against Kahlee will be so funny! But only because... well, it just is, ok?
I wish Krycek wasn't dead. The End.

Kieran hates me. Although previously unknown, I already guessed this, so it's really not that shocking. How did I find out this information? Candice told me, by sending me a copy of an email that he sent her. Apparently he was very happy that I couldn't go to a party at his house a few weeks ago. Now, personally, I don't give a shit that he doesn't like me, but to tell one of my best friends is just mean.
Kahlee entered a modelling competition at Kawana Shopping Centre today, and I'm thinking of entering too. The only problem is that you have to wear whatever they tell you to wear without complaint, which could cause serious problems for me. Oh well, the first prize is money, so I have to do it.
I love Mulder/Krycek slash. The End.

I have failed once again. I didn't even make it through one movie last night, but I'm positive that I'm finally on my way to making it to the end of all seven movies. At noon today I began Ewan-athon attempt three, and I have already finished three of the movies. Only four more to go!
I received some interesting information today from Kathryn. Candice, I know you'll be interested in this. Wait, I just told you about it on MSN (like, as I was writing this, so never mind. Funny. Hahaha. Whatever.
I'm making plans. I have now decided that at the end of year twelve, although I will try to get into university, I will defer everything, work full time, make money, and go to England. It's what I want to do, and where I want to be, so why be pathetic and pretentious at university? All I ever wanted was to be British, anyway. Of course, I'll change my name first. I can't wait.
Kieran likes Candice! I can't believe it! That's fucked, baby. The End.

It's time for Ewan Marathon number two. As soon as "The Secret Life of Us" is over I'll be starting. I have to finish this time, because the videos could go back at any moment!
Back to the movie marathon. I was not happy when I found out that a few certain people from school whom I hate turned out to be seeing the same movies as us. And "Doctor Doolittle 2" is crap. Like, really crap. But I was really only there for "Moulin Rouge" anyway, so that didn't really matter.
"Planet of the Apes" is funny. But not because it's meant to be. The lead actor, Mark Wahlberg (or however you want to spell it) looks like a cross bewteen Lindsey from Angel and Dawson Leery, and was mocked accordingly.
It's Ewan time. The End.
Sunday, September 30, 2001 11:55 p.m.
I am tired. Very, very tired. After I got home from the movie marathon I fell asleep on the coach, and only woke up ten minutes ago. "Moulin Rouge" was as beautiful as ever, but as I am so tired I'll write more later. The End.
Sunday, September 30, 2001 05:08 p.m.
I have returned from the outback. I mean Elanda Point. It wasn't very good, because Kieran and I spent most of the time breaking the rules that Payout-free Zones revolve around. It was pretty there, though. Also, I asked everyone if they wanted to go to the movie marathon, and Candice, Jemma, Kieran and David Thompson said that they would all come with me. So yay, I get to go at 9:40pm tonight.
This morning I let Anna cut my hair. Like really short. Shorter than I have ever had it before. It's shorter than Anna's (which is pretty damn short). Unfortunately Anna cut it very unevenly, so when Rachel came over after we got home she fixed it for me. I haven't decided whether I like it yet.
I think Kieran and I may hate eachother now. Luckily I don't care (because I hate him). The End.

Camping is good, and I'm going camping! Well actually, it's not that good. At least everyone decided to go, so it'll be better than it could have been. Except that I don't own any sort of swimming apparel, so I'll be watching everyone else have fun.
Last night I was planning to have a Ewan marathon. I was going to watch all seven movies that I have out right now. There was even a pre-arranged movie order. But of course, I fell asleep during the second movie! After promising I'd never fall asleep during one of his movies at all. At least it was during "A Life Less Ordinary". I'd already watched that one twice in four days, so it isn't that disappointing. What is disappointing is that "The Velvet Goldmine" was next, and everyone knows how I feel about that movie. I was really looking forward to it, too.
We'll be leaving for Elanda Point soon. Being there will really bring back memories. Bad memories, of being on a really bad school camp in Year 7. At least I know that Melanie the bitch won't be there this time. Well, I hope...
How funky is your chicken? Because I really want to know. The End.

I'm back. Yes, that's right. Back from Beaudesert. I had a pretty good time. We went to Movie World on Wednesday with Ali, Sue (Ali's friend), and their friends Tracey and Andrea. It was the first time I'd ever been to Movie World when I gave a shit about movies, so I was pretty excited, and as it turned out, I had a real reason. In the first hour I came across a movie memorabilia shop, and by the end of the day had bought a "Nightwatch" postcard for $2.95, a large "Trainspotting" poster for $9.95, and a small "Brassed Off" poster for $9.95, which is apparently quite rare. Anyway, I had fun.
For dinner on Wednesday night it was time for a family fun-filled trip to the Beaudesert RSL. I ate way too much, got sick, and went to bed early. I also stole Kathryn's bed, and that was really the high point of the night.
Today my special family, with Ali and Sue, went to Brisbane City, including (yay!) the Myer Centre(how do you spell that last word in the previous sentence?). I finally found the Olympic Opening Ceremony Soundtrack, and I got it, too. So all in all I've had a pretty good week. It looks like we're going camping too, so it's all good.
Time for Dark Angel. Logan is hot. The End.

That kid who plays Anakin Skywalker is the crappiest little actor I ever did see, and I'm not just saying that. He kind of ruins the whole movie. But really, Ewan so makes up for it in every kind of way.
I love my seven movie Ewan set. But I'm like way more excited about Sunday, because there's a movie marathon on, and one of them has "Moulin Rouge" in it!!! My favourite movie ever! So now I'm so excited that I keep spontaneously breaking into song and dance routines every few minutes. The only thing I'm worried about is missing out on tickets. Believe me, if that happens I'll die. In a bad way.
We have to leave for Beaudesert in about half-an-hour, so this will probably be the last time I write until Thursday, or possibly even Sunday. Worst case scenario (or best, because it means I got to go to the movie marathon), means I won't write until Monday. But that's not very likely. I mean waiting until Monday is unlikely. Hopefully my eighth viewing of "Moulin Rouge" is very likely.
It's time for some packing fun. The End.

I realised very late last night that after today I wouldn't be able to write anything here for awhile, a few days at least. So I plan to write here today as many times as possible, as long as I have something new, interesting, or stupid to say. And I will always have something stupid to say.
I'me fairly disappointed in myself this morning. After promising myself that I would never, ever fall asleep during a Ewan movie (because it's just so disrespectful to little Ewan), I was only able to watch two-and-a-half of his movies, ("Shallow Grave", "Nightwatch", and half of "Star Wars: Episode I"), I got so tired during Star Wars that I had to stop it half way through. Of course, it's better than falling asleep, but only just.
You know, I'm really getting used to Ewan's various haircuts. Especially that weird spikey on top, short ponytail at the back, long thin plat at the side Star Wars thing. The End.
Monday, September 24, 2001 10:15 p.m.
I know it's late (well, later than usual), but I've had a busy day. I had my first all-nighter last night. I spent it watching three Ewan McGregor movies one after the other; "Brassed Off", "A Life Less Ordinary", "and the Velvet Goldmine" again. I went to sleep at 5:30am, and woke up at 12:30pm, ready to watch more movies, then go to the movies to see "The Princess Diaries", or whatever it's called, and it was actually pretty good.
On Sunday night Mrs Badinski suggested to my mum that our family, her family, and the O'Sullivans go up to where ever the Thompsons and Candice have been camping since Sunday. So now, not only do I have Beaudesert and Movie World to look forward to, I also have a lovely camping trip as well. And I might even get to go to the Myer center, and on another camping trip next week. The holidays are really shaping up to be better than I thought they would.
No one would ever believe what I did tonight. After seeing the movie, we had to stop at the video store to return two new releases (I've now seen "Almost Famous", by the way), and Dad decided that we could get out a few more videos. As I had been looking at the list of every movie Ewan ever made earlier, I went looking for a few of the movies on said list. I didn't find any of the movies I actually wanted apart from "Night Watch" (Mm... security guard uniform), but as I was looking for "Trainspotting" in the Art (but not really) film area, I came across "Shallow Grave", a movie I had completely forgotten about! Not only that, but it's the first movie he made which he has more than a bit part in! Yay Ewan! And yay me! I then decided to get "Star Wars: Episode I" and "Little Voice" out again, as well. So, in conclusion, I now have seven Ewan movies out at the same time.
These holidays will be good. The End.

Happy Sunday September 23rd, everyone. I'll be going to Sizzler (mm, shrimp) soon, which is one of the more enjoyable things about having my aunt from England stay at my house for a few days. Speaking of which, that was also the reason the reason that I got to go to the Big Pineapple yesterday, and everyone knows what a priveledge that always is. Really.
Rachel's party was pretty good, I suppose. It was just too upsetting for words when hardly anyone liked my favourite movie (besides "Moulin Rouge") ever. At least Candice liked it, I think. What I don't understand is how anyone could dislike it! I mean really, Ewan is naked! And crazy! And very, very high! And JR-M is just precious, apart from when he has the pink hair, the long blue hair, or the really long hair. Anyway, I love them both, and everyone else should, too.
But apart from that it was all in good fun. I did eat too much, but that was more than made for when I got to gaze adoringly at Edward Norton for two hours. Oh, also, he's added to the list of people I love. And I heard that the other event that I wanted to go to had a surprisingly low excitement level, so it's all good. Yay, I didn't miss anything.
Anyway, Sizzlers is calling me. I should really find out if it's just in my head, or if everyone else can hear it, too. The End.

My aunt will arrive at my house (from England) soon. Goody, it surely will be fun. Really. I'll be going to Rach's party soon, but I can't get too excited about that either, mostly because I have nothing to wear. And it's not like I haven't had the opportunity either, I just can't find any pants that fit the way I want them too. I guess that's what happens when you're as fat as I am. I've really gotta quit eating the spring rolls once and for all...
Yesterday I was listening to my three-month-old Wendy Matthews CD (which I actually got for $10: extreme bargain), and I finally found a song on it which I liked but hadn't noticed before! Yay me!
I just can't recapture my excitement over the holidays that I had two days ago. It's kind of sad actually. But at least I know that when Christmas gets here the real fun will begin. Except that when Christmas arrives it'll be time for my family's special friends, the O'Sullivans to move to Brisbane, and that will just be too weird to contemplate! If, by some fresky little chance one of you O'Sullivans ends up here, to you: I'll miss you guys heaps. Have fun living where I want to live, and doing what I want to do.
Anyway, must go and do the monkey. The End.
Friday, September 21, 2001 02:35 p.m.
Holidays=Yay! And today=Holidays. I guess that means today=yay! The best part about my short, previous rambling is that it's time for some top shit days off, which is always simply super.
Anyway, I promised yesterday that I would explain why it's so unfortunate that Rach's party is tomorrow, and I will, right...here: There's somewhere else I'd like to be as well. That's it. Not very interesting, I know.
I just realised that I love Paul McDermott. He joins the long list of people I love, some of which are Ewan McGregor: Trey Parker; Jeff Hardy; Christian Kane; James Marsters; that other Christian who isn't gay, old or fictional; Shaun Micallef; Michael Weatherby; Jonathon Rhys Myers; that guy who plays Frances on "Malcolm in the Middle", and many others who I'm sure I'll add later. Anyway, the point is, I now love Paul McDermott.
Don't you love Diet Coke? The End

Party time! Well, not technically party time. What I mean is, yay! I only have one more day to go, and then it's September holidays time. Of course, this is the second last September holidays I'll ever have, and oh my God I just realised that, and it's really depressing. Oh well, I'll get over it right about...now.
This holidays marks the one year anniversary of the Sydney Olympics, which were my favourite holidays ever. September holidays just seem to work out that way. It's a shame they won't this year. But at least I'll have a lot of time to listen to depressing music and imagine what could and should have been.
I found out something kind of bad in a good way today. It turns out that "The Velvet Goldmine" is rated R in every country apart from Australia. Which on one hand means that if I lived in any country besides this one I wouldn't have been able to see my lovely Ewan jump around naked for another two years. But on the other hand I can say goodbye to owning a copy of it for that long, because it has to be ordered from the US. Damn.
My friend Rachel's birthday party is on Saturday. Talk about bad timing. I'll explain later, and that may or may not be tomorrow. In a way I'm listening to depressing music right now. It's "Lucky", by Britney Spears, which we played many a-time at Rach's party one year ago.
I'll talk to you all (like, hahaha) tomorrow. The End.
Wednesday, September 19, 2001 02:29 p.m.
Well, today's been a barrel full of monkeys, and other more realistic yet funny things. I had a day off from my Year 11 exams, and everyone knows what that means: searching the net for strange, unusual and sick fandoms! Today my more interesting discoveries included Trey Parker/Matt Stone, Darren/Daniel (of Savage Garden fame), Obi-Wan Kenobi(Ewan McGregor style)/Darth Maul, and some delicious Velvet Goldmine stuff, which I didn't even know existed.
I got bored of that fun soon enough though. And so I played that absolutely rocking online kiddie game, Neopets, which I personally think is quite enjoyable. At the same time I was listening to some CD or other, as is usually the case, and dancing along while sitting down. And believe me, you don't know what having fun is until you've played Neopets while dancing/singing along with the Moulin Rouge soundtrack, without ever getting out of your chair.
Has anyone else besides me even seen the Velvet Goldmine in Australia? I've given up on asking everyone I know if they have or not, mostly because I have asked everyone, and they all said no. It's just so unfair, because I recently decided that it is my favourite movie (tied with Moulin Rouge), and there's no bloody people to talk about it with! What I really want (more than I want other people to share it with, I mean) is the soundtrack. I'd give anything to be able to listen to that "I'll do the monkey, we're having a funky reunion" song over, and over, and over, and over, and o... You get the point.
Anyway, holidays in two days, all good things come to an end, and then they start up once more, then end, then start. The End
