HEY HOMOS

SO GUESS WHAT? TODAY I TOOK MY THESIS IN TO THE BINDER'S.
It's due tomorrow; I'm handing it up tomorrow. Go figure!!
It was one of the hardest things I've ever done, and one of the lamest. Go figure.
So anyway I'm applying for a PhD scholarship.
Oh shit I haven't done my taxes yet.


BUT ANYWAY, WHAT IS UP WITH

YOU??!!?

WHAT IS THE NEWS? WHAT IS THE GOSS? HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU?? WHAT IS MAKING YOU HYPERVENTILATE AT THE MOMENT??
I cannot face 1000000 pages of back entries so let's all pretend I lost time and now I'm like, Tell Miss Venable I'm sorry about her neck," and everyone is going to politely not mention the bloodstains.

So tomorrow while I wait for the thing to be ready I am going to INTO A BOOKSTORE to buy the first Sarah Monette novel and Throne of Jade if it is out, oh please got let it be out. Then I am going into JB's to get SUPERNATURAL SEASON TWO YEAH BABY YEAH! Finally, finally, fucking finally. This was my reward to myself. I that rewards suck too late.

I am going to get all the latest episodes of House. I am going to catch up with As the World Turns--

--

NEWSFLASH!!! By the way, did you know that this is maybe the greatest thing ever? When they kiss it is hot HOT HOT. Also the blond kid, Van Hansis, is fucking. awesome. I have the biggest crush.

--

I am gonna get moving on House Big Bang. I am gonna start Lucifer from the start so I can finally see how it ends. I am gonna see 1000 movies. And I am going to say

HELLO to YOU, how ARE you, I have MISSED YOU!!!!!

OMG CONGRATULATIONS! That's so great. It seems like everyone's finishing their postgrad stuff this year except me. I'm starting next year.

[nigeltde]

HAY THANKS! I don't know, does Honours count as postgrad? The proper stuff starts for me next year too! We can suffer through it together!

[lastrega.livejournal.com]

I think Honours counts as postgrad, at least it does in my field. What are you doing your PhD on?

[nigeltde]

oh jesus knows. In my application I put Postmodern and Derridian Ethics but that was just because I couldn't think of anything else and the little I've read of Derrida's notions of unconditionality intrigue me. But I don't even know if they'll let me do that in a Politics department.

Forgive me if you mention this every day, but what is your field?

[lastrega.livejournal.com]

Nursing. Most students, if they do honours, work at least a year after graduation before going back and doing it. I'll be doing a research masters next year. Hopefully.

Your subject sounds much more interesting though.

[nigeltde]

Oh, right, I thought you were studying outside of working as a nurse. Sorry! Have you picked a focus for your research yet? I really have no idea. I don't think I want to do queer theory a-bloody-gain but who knows.

[lastrega.livejournal.com]

I'll probably use the project I just submitted a grant application for, but I work in research, so it's not going to be much of a stretch to find something. I've currently got something like four systematic reviews and two primary research projects on the go.

Yay for finishing your thesis, now get thee to thy tax return (I posted mine on Sunday)

*gets back to burying myself in TAFEsville*

[nigeltde]

I did it this morning, thank god for etax or I would never be able to work it out!

[pun.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

[nigeltde]

thank you!

Woooooo! CONGRATS ON FINISHING TEH THESIS OF DOOM.

I'm living in Japan, having come over to work for a company that has just applied for bankruptcy and hasn't paid my last month's salary (we get paid monthly). Currently facing eviction and the prospect of nowhere to live. INTERESTING TIMES.

(On the upside, have hooked up with a cute J-boy. ROCK).

Good luck with the PhD!

[nigeltde]

Thanks!

That sounds like such a scary situation! I hope it works out!

[lydia-petze.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! And /glomp/!

I been Mighty Booshing, finally (it takes a while, but I get there) and, oh dear, Top Gearing. Apart from that, business as usual. Stick around, babe, it's not the same around here without you!

[nigeltde]

awwwww!

Have you seen that season two episode yet with Old Gregg? I think that is one of the most hysterical things I've ever seen in my life.

Every bit of Top Gear I see, I want more. Have you got a dvd recommendation?

[lydia-petze.livejournal.com]

lemmealone watched the WHOLE SERIES in one weekend. From scratch. Knowing very little about it. We were wrecked by the end. Old Gregg was great but I think I liked Milky Joe best, that was just epically weird.

Top Gear is love, honestly. Try Revved Up, The Challenges or Winter Olympics, but my dear, I can send you a buttload of episodes! Give me your address again and I'll make up disks and (finally) return your property to you as well.

[nigeltde]

ah ha ha ha! Milky Joe! The dark turn that one took was awesome.

Incidentally you must check out Fielding on the Big Fat Quiz of the Year, he's teamed up with fellow dandy Russell Brand and they're fabulously funny. Plus, Jimmy Carr and Cat Deeley!

[lydia-petze.livejournal.com]

It was so funny - when Howard pushed Blossom over and she split open we were all *gasp* and then when the coconut investigative journalist sneaked a look in the window we were all OMG but then we were all *foreheadslap* - they're COCONUTS.

DAMN, MY HAT'S ON FIRE!

[nigeltde]

Ha, I was completely drawn in too! Their coconut faces are so CREEPY!

[lydia-petze.livejournal.com]

I got your email, but for some reason my reply bounced back at you. Nemmind, I'll get them done and of to you soon!

[nigeltde]

Oh, darn. Thanks for letting me know, it turns out the account's not configured properly. I only use it when I'm at Lauren's cause I can't get to my POP account. FYI, I usually still use jessie at chunga and the lj address will get me there too.

I can't remember if I included QI in that care package; have you seen Jeremy Clarkson on it? He's fab!

[lydia-petze.livejournal.com]

I don't think you did - it was some Boston Legal (oh god, cracky!) Daily Show (eeeee!) Strangers With Candy (which I didn't *quite* get, but I'll give it another crack) Arrested Development, Kitchen Confidential, The Tick (eeeeee again) and Twitch City, I think. I have seen some QI but not with Jezza, damn! The man is hilarious, I'll have to try and find it.

hey hey there jessie
it's good to see you're all set to enjoy your freedom!

[nigeltde]

Hey Mich!

Freedom shall be enjoyed. Oh yes, it shall be enjoyed.

And I see you are similarly prepared! Congratulations on your immanent graduation! It's the best feeling ever, no?
