Lish says (10:43 AM): i sometimes wonder if... all the dreams we dream are real
Lish says (10:44 AM): and we're just a dream too
Ruth says (10:44 AM): i wonder this allll the time, if it's on some level real. maybe thoughts and dreams aren't boxed into the same linear time as reality
Lish says (10:45 AM): ...but then again, that would make all the weird sex dreams really weird

1900 words stand between me and the end of the MTeach.  Yes, it's taken me a whole four days to write 100 words.  Technically 71 words, but I'm rounding it up.  This is pathetic.  In fact, pathetic doesn't even begin to describe it.

Five hours sleep last night.  This morning I had a dream that was vividly sad.  Damn you, subconscious.

No word from Camberwell High today.  Epic fail.

Rianna has gone on school camp this week so I don't have her sometimes annoying but usually welcome presence to distract help me procrastinate.  I seem to be managing well on my own, though.  The house is very quiet without her here.

Today's xkcd reminds me of [livejournal.com profile] selina_.

And that is all.

:D

I just finished reading Affinity.  It took me about two months to get past the first 50 pages, and then I read all the rest of it in a few hours.  It was a Sarah Waters book through and through, full of Victorian intrigue and twisty plots and deception.  The last part of the book was pretty bleak, but not as depressing as I'd come to expect.  It's left me a little blah though. 

One funny thing about the book, though, was that it reminded me of [livejournal.com profile] selina_, because of the characters named "Selina" and "Ruth".  Heh. :)

This morning I had a really, really weird, vivid dream in which I was pregnant and gave birth to set of twins - a girl and a boy.  Everyone had been killed in some sort of massacre and I had to give birth by myself, except four octopuses helped by grabbing my wrists and ankles by their tentacles as I was suspended over a deep pit.  Yeah, totally o.O right?  Lol.  And when the baby came, I had to make sure I caught it so it didn't fall into the pit.  And then I didn't know how to tie off the umbilical cords, so I just cut it and left it.  I remember being really happy that I had given birth to healthy babies.  I spent ages trying to figure out what to name the twins.  As I was waking up, I remember being alarmed by the fact that I hadn't nursed them yet. 

Yeah.  No more sushi before bed.

My timetable this semester was so screwed up. So very screwed up. All four of the subjects I originally picked clashed. Old English B ended up clashing with Syntax. It was terribly hard to decide between the two, especially since Old English A had been my favorite subject last semester. Syntax won out in the end, for several good reasons:

1.) It starts at 10 in the morning and not 9:30, which means I can hitch a ride with mum in the mornings and not have to get up an hour earlier.
2.) Syntax = a chance to keep stalking hot girl and
3.) It's a core subject for linguistics that I want/need to do and I won't risk having it clash next year.

Anyway, instead of Old English Poetry B, which I'm going to do next year (hopefully), I picked Computer Mediated Communications as my Linguistics elective and ARGH, that ended up clashing with my history subject, which I wasn't about to give up. So I had no choice but to leave CMC for next year as well and pick Language and Culture (the ONLY linguistics subject that didn't clash), which is an interesting enough subject, but I've had the lecturer before and I can't stand her lectures. But oh well. On the up side, cute girl might be doing Language and Culture as well, from what I remember. Anyway. Finally, to rub salt in the wound, the one subject that I absolutely MUST do this semester (2nd Language Learning and Teaching), because it isn't offered next year, has its lectures on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at EXACTLY the two times that I have Karate during the day. GAH!!!! So for the rest of the semester, I won't be able to go to the daytime Karate sessions. Which means I'll have to make extra trips on Monday and Wednesday to go to the night time ones. GRRRRRRR.

Fucking timetable.

Now, for some randomness:

- Did you know that Melbourne is in the same timezone as Vladivostok?

- I've had dreams of Rachel Nichols for like 4 days in a row. Wow. (SCORE!!!)

- Hmm. I bought some Ribena yesterday for the first time in years. Mmmm Ribena. Rhymes with Xena.

- Watching Season 1 of Hercules is rather painful. I'd never realised how damn cheesy the show was in the beginning. Also, Xena, as portrayed on Hercules is SO out of character. For one, she would /never/ deliberately injure her own horse even if it was part of her Evil Plan to Seduce Iolaus and Kill Hercules. Hmph. Also, where the hell is Ares? So far in first season, is only appearance is as a bubbling pool of tomato juice trying to pass itself off as blood and a giant hulking box-ish robotic-like demon-Ares with two red LED lights for eyes. o.o

- Saw Pirates of the Caribbean 2 the other day. I enjoyed it thoroughly, but I think I still like the first one better.

- Uni starts on Monday. Luckily for me, I don't have class on Mondays (hee).

- My dear friend [livejournal.com profile] selina_ is in Kenya. I miss her.

- Myspace sucks because it keeps sending me email announcements informing me that a particular friend has updated their journal, and when I click their stupid link, it takes me to a page that goes something like "Sorry, you can't see this page because so and so hasn't friended you. You are the weakest link. J00 Suxx0r. Goodbye!"

- I was PMSing when I wrote my last entry. I think I still am.

- In my angst, I downloaded like 800 mb worth of ABBA songs. Isn't that scary? In any case, it's rather amusing to listen to Waterloo in French, Fernando in Spanish, and Ring Ring in German. Not to mention the many other random Swedish songs. :-D

- And on that very odd note, I'm going to bed.

Dude! I met a girl today. Or rather, I finally talked to a girl that I've been randomly stalking for over a year. And by stalking I don't mean scary stalking stalking.  It's just that I couldn't help but notice her whenever I saw her at uni, that's all. We'll ignore the fact that I took a picture of the back of her head with my mobile phone last year.

I had my last exam today. It was for Phonetics. I didn't study all that much last night because I was too busy playing Baldur's Gate II and posting on LJ and just procrastinating in general. So today I got up nice and early (11am), caught the train to Parliament Station, walked to the Royal Exhibition Building (where the exam was) and looked for a park bench to sit on while I did some last minute cramming.  So I was walking past all these empty benches not wanting to sit on them because they were still too far away from where the exam was going to be when, lo and behold, I see the girl who is my designated physical incarnation of my British friend selina_Ruth, even though they look nothing alike.  Actually, they're both blonde and have sort of the same build (I think), but other than that there's practically no similarity - certainly not enough to warrant the attention that I've been paying this girl.  No similarity, that is, UNTIL NOW.  *dramatic pause ensues*

So, I sat down on the bench next to her (despite the abundance of free benches nearby), gestured to her open book and asked "Phonetics?"

"Yep" she smiled.

Then we both quietly studied next to each other for about half an hour.  The day became even more overcast, a chilly wind started blowing, and little drops of rain began falling on my notebook, causing highlighted bits to run.  At this point, I was freezing my ass off.  There seemed to be less people about.   I assumed they all went off to seek shelter from the icy cold drizzle.  Jennifer (I happen to know her name because I took note of it during a roll call last week) and I were still sitting on our little bench, studying.  After a while she closed her book and just sat there in the rain.  I finished reading my notebook from front to back, gathered up my courage, and asked with a roguish grin, "Want me to test you?" 

She paused and said, "Would you like me to test you?"

Heh.
