The art of procrastination

Oh-so-excited cos I get to see isabelle_tea tonight for her birthday - YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*happy dance*

When you see this, post another Buffyverse quote in your own Livejournal. Let's see how long we can make it.

Ah, I love Spike *sigh* hence, extra quotage.

Angel: But she's not finished baking yet! I gotta wait 'til she's done baking. You know, 'til she finds herself. 'Cause that's the drill. Fine. I'm waitin' patiently, and meanwhile,
[shouting]
Angel: The Immortal's eatin' cookie dough!
Andrew: Uh, Spike, is Angel crying?
Spike: No.
[pause]
Spike: Not yet.

Spike: She wouldn't even kill me. She just left. She didn't even care enough to cut off my head or set me on fire. I mean, is that too much to ask? You know, some little sign that she cared? It was that truce with Buffy that did it. Dru said I'd gone soft. I wasn't demon enough for the likes of her. And I told her it didn't mean anything I was thinking of her the whole time, but she didn't care. So, we got to Brazil and she was... she was just different. I gave her everything. Beautiful jewels, beautiful dresses with beautiful girls in them, but nothing made her happy. And she would flirt. I caught her on a park bench making out with a Chaos Demon. Have you ever seen a Chaos Demon? They're all slime and antlers; they're disgusting. She only did it to hurt me. So I said, "I'm not putting up with this anymore." And she said, "Fine." And I said, "Yeah, I've got an unlife, you know." And she said... she said we could still be friends. God, I'm so unhappy.
Willow: There, there.
Spike I mean, "Friends." How could she be so cruel?

Buffy: I love you.
Spike: No, you don't. But thanks for sayin' it.

Go to UrbanDictionary.com and type in your answer (or the closest thing to it) to each question in the search box, then write the first definition it gives you.

Your name: (Myfanwy)

Pronounced "Ma-VON-wee." Ancient Welsh name for a girl, meaning "My rare one." Pretty much the greatest name on the planet. According to Disneyland name definitions, Myfanwy is "The ideal woman."

 

They named their daughter Myfanwy.

 

Hell yeah – someone recognizes the awesomeness of my name!

How old are you? (25)

Used primarily with selling of weed, when buying a stick (flat rate of 25AUD) is called a 25.

Also comes in a 50 (pronounced five-o).

Definition only good for Australia.

 

eg. Buyer: Can I pick up that 25?

Dealer: Meet you at Thomas Park at 9pm.

One of your friends: (Lisa)
A very attractive kind of the female gender who has a sultry gaze and a great figure. Lisas are usually attracted to common types of carbohydrates and will devour them vigorously if let loose without caution. Extremely attractive.

 

eg. Whoa! Look at that Lisa passing by!

 

Very true indeed

What should you be doing? (unpacking)

Well, I do love my procrastination…..

Favorite food: (Mexican)

Someone hailing or claiming ancestry from Mexico.

 

"The damn Mexicans stole my tires again."

Hometown: (Melbourne)

Melbourne; home, epicentre, ground-zero and dead-end of Australia's 'national' sport, Australian Rules "Football" for twenty odd weeks of the year. (nb. Aussie rules is actually quite popular in Adelaide, Australia's second-largest underground town, and also in Perth, where the only alternative is professional drink-driving.)

Fortunately, Melbourne also has the highest-grade quality heroin available in the free world, rendering even the most soul-sucking, mind numbing AFL season relatively ease to cope with.

Melbourne's heroin quality is second only to the quality of it's water.

 

Scag-rat 1: "Mate, the footy's back here in Melbourne."

Scag-rat 2: "I know, but it's alright, I just stole this VCR. Let's go see Skinny."

Word to describe yourself: (klutz)

A person who is never without a scrape or bruise. Always finds a way to trip, bump into things and people. And on occasion, they partially knock themselves out by walking into walls, doorways, and corners or cabinets and desks.

 

Why didn't I see that corner of the desk? I'm such a klutz! Where's the frozen corn?

 

(Yes, where’s the damn corn!?)

Car you drive: (sidewalk)

pedestrian obstacle course. daytime open air homeless storage facility

 

City Council recommends that passersby should not give beggars money.

If you give them money, they will just buy drugs or alcohol. Offer them drugs instead, eliminates the middle man. I recommend strychnine. Godblessyou have a nice day

Which Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle are You?
Donatello You've been described as 'the brains' of your family or group of friends. You're the natural born, 'Mr. Fixit'. You're also considered the most reserved, preoccupied with your own little thoughts and ideas. But that doesn't mean you don't hang with your family and friends! But, you still find it easy to get lost in your own thoughts...daydreaming often. You'd rather talk things out than fight. You long for a day when there's nothing but peace in the world, and when you can finally rest with your own thoughts. Violence is something the world could completely live without. One of your labels may be, 'true to blue friend'. You're strong at heart and powerful at mind.

I tag you all - mwuhahaha!

Hearts are everywhere - they are in the shops, hanging from ceilings, they're even on the fucking footpath!!!! Remind me why this day is there - oh yeah, for money making purposes. Why is there only 1 day to let people know you love them and why does bucketloads of money need to be spent to show this love?

In other news, I was once again reminded of why I love theatre so much. I saw Detest (This Thousand Years I Shall Not Weep) last night at the Carlton Courthouse with the lovely Ayumi as my viewing partner. I loved it - it's as simple as that. Angus is one of those actors I can't take my eyes off when I watch him on stage - he's ferocious one moment and completely vulnerable the next. He moves in such a way that astounds and exhausts me and he always brings a slight tear to my eye. The final image of him jumping was amazing - so simple, yet desperate and heart-wrenching.

As Angus himself has pointed out, this is theatre you do not want to see.  It is theatre you need to see.

I'm bored....I need a plan for New years....anything........people help me...........
P.S. I had Corona before, it was nice.
P.P.S. Today, I almost got hit by a train, almost got mugged.raped and almost got killed by a giant monster........all in the name of art of course.......of course, everyone in the play, except for me, actually gets to die at some point. Dammit!!!! Come see my play!

My god, I really am bored - shoot me now people!

Yes, I'm in yet another play but yay, am acting in this one. Come see!!!!

CITIZEN CORPS

Written by Melissa Bubnic - Directed by Clare Watson

Based on Code Orange High Alert

In a spectacular display of irony, Citizen Corps, the safest neighbourhood on earth, is wiped out by some totally evil dudes. Witness the hilarious fallout as citizens rush to arm themselves, police shoot at anything swarthy, and a humble possum emerges as the master architect of terrorist horror!

A savage satire on the politics of war, torture and racism, Citizen Corps is an anarchic black comedy about a culture in fear.

Weds, Sept 6 until Sun, Sept 17

Weds and Fri at 8.30pm - Thurs, Sat and Sun at 6.30pm

$30/$15 for two shows - with The Yellow Peril or $20/$10 for individual shows

THE YELLOW PERIL

Written by Fregmonto Stokes - Directed by Daniel Schlusser

Based on Code Yellow Elevated Risk

A cautionary tale of religious fundamentalism and the importance of keeping your pants on when climbing a crane.

In the very near future, in a society paralysed by fear of imminent terrorist attacks, three Melbourne teenagers plan to destroy the credibility of a renowned evangelist. Ifrah, an Arabic atheist with a hyperactive conscience, wants to draw her friends away from their drug-fuelled hedonism towards political action. Their growing jealousy, suspicion and confusion mirror the attitudes of the outside society. In a climate of fear anyone can let paranoia take the place of personal morality.

Weds, Sept 6 until Sun, Sept 17

Weds and Fri at 6.30pm - Thurs and Sat at 8.30pm - Sun at 4:30pm
