Loser Is What The Lion Called You When You Couldn't Find Your Balls...

Yesterday was a really good day. I had a concert where I had to perform 3 pieces with a Flute Ensemble I'm in. That went pretty well. Apart from the fact that the tradition has stayed. It is now a recognised tradition that whenever I perform with this group, I can't see the conductor properly for most of, if not all of, the performance. For 2 out of 3 of the pieces, I could barely see her hands conducting. For the third piece I could see, because I had to move to a different spot when changing parts. Apart from that, it went well. I then had to rush to get my flute packed, grab my saxophone, go get changed and make it to the rehearsal of the Symphonic Wind Ensemble I'm in. I had much difficulty finding room to sit (including a chair and stand) in the small room we had to practice in. The 4-song performance of that went really quite well, I thought. I then had Subway for lunch and went home, bringing Phantomess along. Last night I went to see the hilarious [title of show] for the second time with Phantomess, Gojo and Miss Invisible. Absolutely amazing night. So funny, so touching. Pure brilliance. I love this show so much. I was sitting next to Gojo and at many various times the two of us were sunken in our chairs laughing hysterically. That pretty much sums up the show.

Now, I'm not really sure why, but I have the compulsion about one of my favourite shows of all time, Total Drama. Now, this show is kinda aimed at people significantly younger than me. I am definitely too old to love it as much as I do. Like, seriously. It's demographic is kinda pre-teen. Oh well. I still love it.

Now, my obsession with this show began in Term 3 of school last year. I heard heard my brothers singing the theme song and thought it sounded stupid. Then, I heard it was a cartoon "reality" TV show. I was all, "Oh my gosh, that's so stupid." If only I knew... Anyway, I remember the first bit of this show I ever saw. It was in the third season, World Tour, and it was episode 11,  called Jamaica Me Sweat. I came in about half way through to see Alejandro scheming and kinda sucking up to DJ, in order to make an alliance. I am pretty sure I said something along the lines of, "Oooh, this guy's baad," to my brothers. I never looked back...

I came to school one day and was talking to Phantomess. I'm not sure how the topic came about, but I found out she quite liked the show too. We spent a whole lesson talking about it, even though I'd only seen some episodes from Season 3 and she'd seen it all. The Friday night of that week, I went on youtube and watched all of World Tour.

In the following holidays, I had several marathons, using youtube to watch the entirety of Total Drama Island and Action. I was addicted, but World Tour shall forever be my favourite.

Phantomess spent a large majority of Term 4 last year talking about it, annoying pretty much all of our friends...

I really do have different favourite characters to like, 98% of other fans. My two favourite characters are generally hated and one of my least favourite characters is a fan favourite. Just goes to prove that I don't really conform to the fans... Now, my favourites... I don't have a specific order, but I have a group of favourites. Although, the first two are my all-time favourites.
- Heather
- Alejandro
- Duncan
- Harold
- Trent
- Courtney, strangely. I hated her when I watched WT the first time. I liked her after watching all seasons.

The only one on that list that is pretty much always liked by the fans is Duncan.

My ships. Now, I am a big shipper in this show. Well, I'm a big shipper all the time, but still. I have my very personal, strong opinions about couples in this show and have three very big ships. In a specific order, this time...
1. HeatherxAlejandro- AleHeather
2. DuncanxCourtney- Duncney
3. GwenxTrent- Gwent
Yeah. Number 2 & 3 are veryy controversial with the fan base.. Oh, the fan base...

It's re-showing on TV so I'm totes high on this show lately :P

Anyway, enough of that. For now.

I'm going to watch episode 1 of Lovely Complex tonight. I have heard about this anime for awhile. It seems kinda popular. It seems very much like a light-hearted RomCom, girly anime. Some places have plot summaries that make it seem really lame, which is why I've never watched it before, but Wikipedia's one made it seem half-decent. It has a kinda weird premise, but hey, it's worth a try.

Now, it may not be a good idea watching this tonight... Tomorrow I have work to do! Two assignments due on Thursday. Both are moving VERY slowly. Tomorrow shall be dedicated to Physics. Today was supposed to be, but I didn't do much on it. Seeing as though I didn't get up till like, 11:15am and I couldn't find mu USB till 2:30pm, I did OK...ish...

The title of this post is one of the best lines from one of the best songs from one of the best episodes of World Tour :)

He Tits Me Off So Much...

Ah, the things we think we hear when our ears deceive us. Phantomess thought I said this when actually I said, "He ticks me off so much" referring to a particularly annoying child in Year 9 at my school.

I'm in a pretty good mood this afternoon so no depressing rants for you! Ha! Anyways, I am going to use this post to document the random junk that's going on here and the work, or lack thereof, that I am doing.

I have David Harris' EPIC riff from his cover of Save The Last Dance For Me stuck in my head. Zomg. So good.

What are you talking about? No... I am not checking several websites as well as looking up [title of show] songs instead of working on my Physics Assignment Draft. No.....

Aw. As soon as I hop on the computer (Woah. Weird mental image of a bunny literally hopping on my laptop...), I open up all the fun, social network, leisurey sites and check them, read them etc. before my internet gets slow. It is now officially slowing down. Shoot. Me. Now.

So, I have all of these sticky notes with lists and reminders pegged, with actual pegs, to this grid like thing on my bed. I have a bunk bed with a desk underneath and when you look up, from the desk, there is a grid. Mine is covered in random things and now, because of my genius epiphany last night, reminders pegged on. Yep, I am one organised chick.

I'm so into lists lately. Nearly every afternoon I will rip a piece of paper out of one of my many notepads (I am a stationery freak) and write a list with little boxes to put ticks in. The lists consist of things like homework, assignments and specific aspects of assignments to do. They work though, because I don't want to leave boxes un-ticked (No, spellcheck, not "unlicked") at the end of the day.

GAH. I HATES SLOW INTERNETS.

Youtube is being like, relatively quick and stuff. Hey there youtube. I appreciate your cooperation in this matter. I CAN HAZ [TITLE OF SHOW] MUSIC!

So, Phantomess and I were in spare today "doing Music Extension assignments". Translation: we were listening to songs from [tos]. I laughed and Crazy Librarian came along. She monitors spare lessons and takes her job very seriously. I believe she has an in-built radar for the sole purpose of hearing my laughter. Apparently, if I laugh, it is a sign that me and all those around me are off-task. Sorry guys :)
Anywho, Crazy Librarian comes along and is all, "What are you doing? I heard Clearly Unfocused laughing." Phantomess, the brilliant improviser that she is was all, "Oh sorry. I was getting her to listen to some songs from a musical that I'm studying for Music Extension," and Crazy Librarian was all, "Oh. So it's for your assignment?" To which we answered, "Yes," and she left, proceeding in some great laughter from us.

Oh my gosh. KEY CHANGE! I LOVE this musical and am SO excited to be seeing it with my pals.

Ok, who wouldn't love a show that has a song that says, "It's the opening song. It doesn't have a name and it's not very long"? And, come on! They sing about adding syncopation in a syncopated rhythm. The muso in me loves that.

Last [tos] reference. Die, Vampires, Die! is SUCH an inspirational song. SO funny but so heartwarming and inspirational and just WOW. LOOK IT UP. WARNING: COARSE LANGUAGE.

Wow, I actually bought my Physics notebook home. Huh, I thought ahead. I applaud my former (from like, 2 hours ago) self. IMMA TYPE UP SOME PHYSICS NOW.

I hate typing up Maths and equations. It looks dumb. I like it handwritten. But I can't hand in my handwritten, messy, all-over-the-place Physics stuff. Icky.

Oh, heck yes! Typed up the stuff that Mr T&C (or C&T. Whatever floats your boat) told me today. Suck it.

Now what?

So, like, my school's gonna be on TV for some Driver Education thing and the UN chose us. I have no clue at all why, but hey, it's getting us out of some class and Phantomess has to talk to them and yeah. TV. Whoop.

Oooh. I should do some Music Extension. But what I should do and what I will do are two very different things, haha.

I need to practice my instruments too. Mmm. Later. Now for... Music Extension, I suppose.

That wonderful moment when you close your Physics assignment and THEN remember something else you've got to do on it. Eughk.

That great moment when Phantomess is as addicted to [title of show] as you so neither of you are helping each other work.

This Music Extension assignment is so boring and depressing. I look at it and go, "Seriously. This hasn't been handed in yet? You mean, I have to work on it more?"

Wow. I've really got to stop listening to [tos] now. I need to work. Like, badly.

I just closed youtube. Applaud me now.

...

I can't hear you.
