Writer's Block: Memo to Myself

pixianna@hotmail.com — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 16:53:28 GMT

If you could travel back in time, what advice would you give to your younger self?

Being single sucks. Learn to flirt and notice if someone's interested in you. And stop being so damn shy about it. They won't always ask you.

Writer's Block: Commercial Appeal

pixianna@hotmail.com — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 16:51:47 GMT

What is your favorite commercial from your childhood? Bonus points if you include a video of it.

View 502 Answers

My favourite commercial? I always liked the ones that had a song/jingle (yes, there is a difference)......although the Tango ones were quite good.....until they got banned because kids were slapping each other in playgrounds. I think if I had to pick one, it'd be the Um Bongo adverts. Because they were weird and made little sense and you won't find a child of the Nineties (here in England at least) that doesn't vaguely remember it.

Um Bongo, Um Bongo, they drink it in the Congo....

Would you donate a kidney or bone marrow to a stranger?

View 533 Answers

Well, I guess yes and no. I don't know if I'd donate them while I was still alive - those being the ones you can donate - although I do donate blood,which is sort of like that....however, I'm pretty sure I put myself on the donor registry when I got my provisional licence, so when I do die I'm not exactly going to know who will get what, and chances are

Argh....

So.

Uni has been rather bleh. And all the assignments are due in soon, so thank god I have a reading week next week...
I have had nothing to do. Well,that's not uni work.

PLEASE SOMEBODY SAVE ME FROM BOREDOM

I'm thinking I need to go up to Bluewater or London for shopping at some point....

Does anyone have any idea why Ribena isn't suitable for under 3s? It's written on the back of the bottle I was drinking in contract.

Today I drew 2 pictures. They were both babybump!Taru. She's oddly fun to draw. Ok,she's not even married in realtime yet but....(realtime? She's a fictional character I made up for a role play who never left after the game died....) I actually have 2 versions of her running through my head at the moment. Original Tereca Taru who be engaged and technically a housewife - but don't call her that or she'll either have a breakdown or kill you...or both - and is the one I keep drawing; and strange roleplay Leanne is running Taru....who has yet to actually appear in it yet as we've managed one scene but oh well...

Babybump!Taru put a scenario in my head of Aari going off on one of his missions leaving normal!Taru and coming back a few months later to find hormonal babybump!Taru and an angry Joh/Gar/Marcel/Judit/Any combination thereof,possibly a few others.

Ok,only Susie's going to understand that at all (if she reads this) but eh.

I have laundry and shiz to do....which I don't want to do so I won't.

And another thing ganked off Vin....XD

Stolen off Vinneh.

Put your MP3 player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title.

Can you take this broken boy?
I want to be the minority.
Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye.
Buddy you're a boy make a big noise.
What's the difference of never knowing at all?
People try to put us down.
Why does Saigon never sleep at night?
In days of old in a kingdom bold.
When the sun goes down.
It's funny when you find yourself.
Roman candles that burn in the night.
Blackbird singing the blues all day.
Every afternoon when the clock strikes four.
Where the fuck are my car keys?
I got no regret right now.
Do you feel like a chain store?
I've seen you twice in a short time.
Here's to us,one more toast, and then we'll pay the bill.
I met you in 82 over a crate of beer and not a few
If you change your mind I'm the first in line.

Weird.

So,back in Canters with my broken laptop (why won't you close?!?!?) and I need to unpack....and eat....I'll eat first...

So,it's christmas,and my normally fellow anti-social friends have chosen today to be uber-social with their familes. And only one has their phone on. And I'm rather annoyed because as much as I love my family - which I do - there's only so much I can stand of them as I'm really very not like them.

Very not like them.

I make the mistake of fangirling near them and get odd/dirty/you're completely mad,go away now looks.

So I have no one to talk to.

And I am bored.

pixianna@hotmail.com — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 21:03:24 GMT

So,as stated in the wee hours of this evening, I went to my cousin's wedding yesterday. OMG, her dress was absolutely gorgeous - though you wouldn't catch me in it,I'd be scared of tripping over the very long train - because I would.
I spent most of the day running around after my cousin Suzanne's 3 - mainly CB#1 to begin with, as CB#2+3 weren't quite sure of me - we live quite far away from them. Managed to endear myself to them by picking them up and swinging them around by their hands during the reception though - CB#2+3 kept coming up to me holding out their arms for me to do so for the next two hours or so. My arms now ache a lot. As do my feet,I was doing all this in heels, which wouldn't be a problem except the shoes I was wearing had patent leather on the inside as well,so my feet were jammed in the front. My poor toes were squished T-T.

Uncle Kev gave my mum a CD with the photos he took at Auntie Sheila's 90th on, so I now have a pic of all my grandma B's grandkids that are blood related + some significant others. This is good. There are now 12 of us. Counting significant others and my two step cousins (that I know,there may be more. Uncle Pete's been married.....twice before,and Uncle Kev has been once,as has Auntie Marian.) there are 18 of us. 5 are great grandchildren. In fact, the oldest greatgrandchild is 5 months older than my oldest brother. My Grandma B's side is very large - but maybe I think that as it's more prone to reunions that either Grandma or Grandad W's families.

My u key is jammed. I'm currently using it by sticking a nail underneath it and flicking it up, and deleting any extra 'u's that appear before I can hit another key.

As the wedding is over, I shall shortly be painting my nails hot pink again. I'm rather fond of that colour for nails. Not so much other things. I borrowed mum's nail varnish for the wedding, it was one of these opalescent ones, but I'm rather bored of it now.

I want an opal necklace - just a little gem,to go with my earrings and ring. I'll ask for my birthday - which will be spent at uni. My first ever birthday away from home :/.

EDIT: I got Susie to watch The History Boys on Thursday afternoon. Since then we've crossed it over with Dead Poets Society, the Discworld, Mamma Mia and Scrubs.

Nothing is sacred.

My First Decade

pixianna@hotmail.com — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 17:08:51 GMT

Found this....somewhere on the internet.

Age 1: I fall down half a flight of uncarpeted stairs, cut my head open and have to go to hospital for stitched. Thus begins my accident-prone childhood.
I still have the scar.

Age 2: I start nursery. I become friends with two other girls in my group who are also called Sarah. One is blonde and the other is ginger. My cousin is in the same group as me and alternates between being my friend and bullying me over the next few years.

Age 3: My nursery takes us on a walk over to the bridge in the town centre that goes over the train tracks and the EP. There are no trains, but I'm fascinated by the cars going underneath us.

Age 4: I walk up to my mum with one of my plasticine cutters and tell her I want a cake shaped like it. It's a triceratops. My mum makes the cake, it's covered in bright red butter icing and says 'Happy 4th Birthday Sarah' on it in in yellow.

Age 5: I'm the first person in my class to get onto free readers. I confuse the teachers somewhat.

Age 6: I get glasses for the first time. They're pink. I either keep forgetting to wear them, forgetting to take them off when I'm not reading the board, or forgetting to bring them home. By the next year I've given up and just wear them full time. I get chicken pox. I also get a little brother.

Age 7: I join the school choir. I hate my year 3 teacher. She shouts a lot and I come out of school in tears a lot. My childminder mentions this to my parents, and they come into school to talk to the headmaster several times over the next few months. The teacher is told she has to be nice to me. It does nothing to endear me to her. She leaves at the end of year 3.

Age 8: I break my finger (in the dreaded year 3 teacher's class). I go to PGL for the first time. I watched The Fifth Element for the first time while there. It sticks with me, even though it's years until I can watch it again.

Age 9: My teacher is quite fond of my hugs, and will ask me for one. I tell my mum about them and she says I shouldn't hug people like that (squeezing round their waists) as I can hurt their kidneys. I spend the quiet reading time reading a copy of Oliver Twist which is about 3 inches thick, written in the smallest type on the thinnest paper they'll publish. The teacher isn't quite sure how to react. I think she'd act worse if it was Frankenstein but I refused to read that book. I go to Legoland with my family and go on a rollercoaster for the first time, though I spend most of the time chasing my little brother as my mum's pregnant and my dad wasn't there during the morning.

Age 10: My parents take me and my brother to the Natural History Museum in London. I spend most of the time wandering around ahead of my family as Dad is stopping my brother from running off and Mum's 8 months pregnant. This is where my love of history starts. I don't have a birthday cake this year. I get another brother. We move house a few months later. A book appears on my shelf called 'Let's Talk About Sex' - it's about puberty, this is my mum's idea of 'the talk'. I don't read it until about a year and a half later, when we have classes in school about it. I join the school orchestra.

Blah blah blah

pixianna@hotmail.com — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 23:00:32 GMT

Hello,the few people who have me on their flists (Why? Why do you have me on your flists? I ramble about crap...)

You may have noticed that I am updating a lot more than I have done in the past. There is no real reason about this, I'm just bored and want to talk about myself. It's something I do a lot but tone down when in person as it's rude to talk about oneself. I also fail at talking about myself on various websites I join,my mind goes blank. Doing my damn personal statement for uni was like pulling teeth, I swear. It was 'fuck, I still need *insert* words, what else can I say?' I think it did end up being slightly shorter than college wanted....I think my favourite part is this: I first developed an interest in the subject when given an opportunity to speak with a solicitor at a career's day at my secondary school. He related to us some of his duties and expericences as a duty solicitor for the local area, with an emphasis on the wide variety of personalities it gives the opportunity to meet.

This is a load of bollocks, what actually happened is he briefly described the route to becoming a solicitor, told us about this one guy he had to work with who kept saying 'I don't know, I don't know' to the questions he was asked before shouting 'I do not know the price of cheese!', which is when they realised he had mental problems and he turned out to be schizophrenic, and then he was interupted by the RAF helicopter landing on the field and so came over to see what I was doing, as I was the only one not gawping at the window (and this was a class of year 10s, and the school is relatively near the local hospital [and I live even closer] which has a helipad which the RAF use for training purposes when it's not in use by the air ambulance [you ever had a helicopter land and hover 10 feet away from the path you're walking on? So cool.] so helicopters? No big deal. Snow, on the other hand...) where I then interrogated him on what were good subjects to do at A-level to become a solicitor. And then we had to go somewhere else.

So, yesterday (and it is still yesterday, as as I write this sentence it is 23:38) I had my friend Susie over, and we watched The History Boys, and then we watched Dead Poets Society, and then we were generally fangirly. And then we went and watched the Mamma Mia singalong on at the cinema and oh. My. God. That film is aboslutely brilliant. Seriously. If you haven't seen it already GO AND WATCH IT. I loved the characters and Dominic Cooper was just generally adorable (which is odd, I'm used to him being a bit of a manwhore) and Colin Firth as a gay man. I never did work out which of the men was supposed to be Sophie's father, but I personally like to think it was Bill. And OMG,the ending. It was perfect (even though I did have to lean over to whisper to Susie 'oh fuck it, I'm going to go find Posner' why Sky started looking annoyed at his wedding being interupted repeatedly.) and the bit played over the credits! You haven't lived until you've seen Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth in blue sparkly catsuits.And platforms. And the other guy, I can't remember his name as I don't think I've seen him in anything before. Whereas everyone knows who Pierce Brosnan is and I have fangirled Colin Firth in the past (I sat through Nanny McPhee for him.) And Dominic Cooper in a sparkly pink sleeveless catsuit. And platforms. WHICH YOU DIDN'T TELL ME ABOUT LIZZY YOU BITCH I WOULD HAVE SEEN IT SOONER HAD I KNOWN. Also, Dominic spent much of this movie shirtless/with his shirt open. Therefore there was a very happy Sarah. There was also a very happy Susie, as she has decided Pierce Brosnan is very pretty.

We have a thing, most likely started by me, as I describe everything as pretty, including guys. If I call you pretty and you're a guy, it's because I think you're hot.

But this was a singalong showing. Which is why I waited to see it, I suppose (21:10 showing,three days a week ¬¬) as there is no way in hell I would have been able to refrain from singing. And I couldn't. The film opens on a song. And I was singing it. At first, I thought I was the only one doing so, but half an hour in pretty much the entire cinema was singing along. And that is the only movie I've ever been to where everyone's sat through the entire credits and the lights have come back on, just so they can sing along to every single song.

Dominic Cooper has done a lot now, since the History Boys did so well, he was in Sense and Sensibilty (which I didn't watch, grrrr),he's just done Mamma Mia, and he's playing Earl Grey in The Duchess (the trailer of which was shown before Mamma Mia, and so there was much squealing and grabbing Susie's arm while pointing at the screen going 'Dom!'). However, Kiera Knightley is playing the titular character, and I hate her and she can go DIAF, tbh. And Dominic's character has an affair with her character. So I will not be watching that movie. I will find bits on YouTube.

My cousin is getting married tomorrow. I have until about 11 to find a dress, as the one I was planning on wearing? My Mum doesn't like. Figures. I'm sure I can find something - this would be made easier if I can get mum to take me to the town centre, as then I can likely get her to pay for it, which means I won't have to limit myself to £20 or whatever. But oh well. I'll manage.

....my computer fan sounds like it's trying to take off.....

pixianna@hotmail.com — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 21:56:10 GMT

....but potential exploding laptops aside, lets blog.

As you may well be aware - if I know you IRL you will - I am currently obsessed with The History Boys. And by obsessed, I mean obsessed. I can tell them apart by the back of their heads - quite a feat when 4 of them have the same sandy brown shade of hair, 3 of whom have a remarkably similar haircut - and I spent about 15 minutes of the time I was out on a walk today puzzling how old one of the character's parents could be. Howvever, I'm not worried at all because such intense obsession and overthinking is normal both for me, and the History Boys fandom in general. We can't help it, it's too interesting and thought provoking, and the boys are too cute.

Yes, today I got rather restless and as I ran out of History Boys fic I was willing to read (meaning it had Posner in it somewhere) and my tenuous grasp of Dakin's pysche had slipped completely (meaning I am now stuck on my sentence fic thing) I decided to go for a walk, with no real direction in mind. I thought this about half past four, but stopped in the living room to watch the end of Ghost Rider, as I wanted to see if an actor was who I thought it was (it wasn't) therefore it was somewhere between 4:45 and 5 when I left. It was 7 by the time I got home again.

This was because I decided to walk from my house (in Leegomery) up towards Morrisons in Wellington, up past Dunelm and up Wrekin Road, where I then walked along Holyhead Road towards Hadley, past the Bucks Head and TCAT and up into Ketley as far as the Shropshire Star offices, down past the HLC into Hadley proper, and from there back to Leegomery, so I effectively did a fairly sizeable loop of north Telford - though had I more time I probably would have walked as far as Oakengates,or possibly even the Town Centre before turning back. Following the bus routes is fun, though my mum thinks I'm mad for doing so - said it wasn't a very interesting walk - well, it was interesting enough (I had no idea Sunnycroft was a) even there b) in Wellington and c) owned by the National Trust. And I saw a house named Torwood, which made me lol and send a fangirly text, and a white pigeon next to a church, which also made me lol) and besides, if I didn't follow the bus route/roads I'd get very lost, I'm not very good with directions - and I cycled the Silkin Way last year, and I'm not doing that again any time soon.

My knees and ankle ached something chronic when I got home though - I have somewhat dodgy joints, and a long walk probably wasn't the best thing for them after a long period of inactivity (ie the entire holiday so far) but it may also have been good. I don't know, I'm not a doctor.

Upon returning home, my dad was watching Stargate:SG1 - and I sat down and took my shoes off and looked at the screen and went 'Ooo, Window of Opportunity'. And my dad hit the info button and sure enough, the episode he had just watched was Window of Opportunity. So he turned to me and went '.....That's quite sad.' which left me mumbling something about only knowing that one because I like it before trailing off and slinking into the kitchen where my mum would be watching something I don't like.

We ended up watching the Hairy Bakers during tea, which is the Hairy Bikers cookery duo, except in this series they're only baking things. In this one they were up in Chatsworth and at one point 'If I Knew You Were Coming I'd Have Baked A Cake' by Eileen Barton was playing (I used google to find her name, I'm not that sad. Yet.) and I was somewhat dancing with brother #2 - who is really to short for me to do so as he comes to about halfway up my torso - he's doomed to be short too,I fear - and by dancing I mean swaying,as I really can't dance, when an image of Posner popped into my head singing it - this is when I realised that this fandom wasn't ever going to leave, if I'd started assigning songs to characters. That One By The Archies That Everyone Knows (you know 'Sugar, ah Honey Honey, you are my candy girl and you got me wanting you' - which was originally done by someone else) also played, with all except my dad singing along. As was the riff from Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd - which led to a brief dispute between my brother and me and my mum, as he called it Kid Rock - which it wasn't, Kid Rock nicked the riff - and then had the audacity to say it was better than the Lynyrd Skynyrd song - it isn't - and the harpsichordy bit from Golden Brown was also played - and then I went back upstairs, so I don't know what else was played.

Oh, and my mum quoted something where they'd said 'The Hairy Bikers are Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman after they'd eaten all the pies' which made me lol. And I discovered that CBBC has gotten weirder since I stopped watching it. But that's to be expected, after all,we can't expect the kiddies to understand clever programs that teach things like morals etc. can we? And I'll stop there before this becomes a rant about how the programs I watched were so much better than what my brothers watch ~~even though it's true. My brothers wouldn't know what had hit them if they watched Maid Marion and her Merry Men or The Queen's Nose and their ilk.~~ But again, that's always the case, isn't it? The stuff of our generation is always better than the stuff of the previous. And I do consider myself to be a different generation than my brothers, even though I guess we're technically the same - mainly because I'm legally an adult and the older one's not even really started puberty yet, having only turned 12 last month. The other one's 8,so he's a whole other world away from me, as none of the stuff from when I was 8 is even applicable nowadays (except possibly Pokemon. But brother #2 doesn't like that.) I guess it's the whole 90s/00s kid thing showing through. Brother #1 barely remembers them, whereas brother #2 was only in them for a month, so the 00s is all they've really known.

I've gotten completely off topic, not that I had much of one to begin with. And I'm also bored. So I'm leaving.

Mmkay,so,on my mad THB fangirl spree I have joined 2 lj comms. And posted fic. And like.....one person's read it? Not cool.
Why does lj not have a 'look at who's been reading this and cba to comment' thing like ff.net? I've only had one review on that, but at least I can see it's been read!

Still, there are some very awesome people on said comms, and on the one that's purely for fic pretty much everyone is an awesome writer, way better than me. :3 So it's all good.

It's raining quite badly. I'm watching Last Choir Standing. I like the welsh choir.

Things that have happened in Sars' life: OMFG I GOT INTO CANTERBURY *squee* and I got CCD on A-Levels.

I went to the beach on Friday. It was meant to be a group trip thing, but for various reasons it ended up just me and Liz going. Still a truckload of fun though.

Lizzy introduced me to the Mamma Mia soundtrack, and I have not stopped listening to it. Curse you Dominic Cooper (though Samuel Barnett's voice is nicer than yours......I've also been listening to the History Boys soundtrack recently - does Blackbird make anyone else feel like they want to cry?)

Yes, I've somewhat fallen for Dominic Cooper and Samuel Barnett as of late, I don't expect it to last that long, my obsessions rarely do; but honestly, who doesn't fancy actors? They just happen to be the latest two on a long list since I discovered hormones. It's not helped by my seeming inability to actually get a crush on anyone IRL. I think I've managed it about twice in the last two years, and they went nowhere fast. Ah well, perhaps I'll have better luck at uni.

Why is the History Boys fandom so damn small? It's rather annoying, I want a decent length fic and there are none. I would write one.....but I suck at long fic. I'm at a particular disadvantage, as my favoured pairing is Dakin/Posner (characters played by the aforementioned actors) which seems to be one of the less popular ones in fandom.....despite (or perhaps because?) it being canon that Posner is in love with Dakin.
I have been writing some 50 sentences things for the pairing, one set from each's POV (as I can write those) but it's not the same.....

I need a haircut.

Cheerio,what what.
Sars

Ooo love,ooo loverboy,whatcha doing tonight?
