I'm getting a kitten. In like 2 weeks. YAY! I'm still very indecisive on a name as yet, but I don't think I'll know exactly what to call him until I get him.

OOOH. By this time next week I will have in my big, manly hands, a sealed box of Serenity Trading Cards!! I'm so looking forward to that. I really don't want to open all of them at once, but I know what's going to end up happening. I'll get the box, open it up, open 2 or 3 packs and get so excited that I won't be able to stop myself opening the rest. I LOVE EBAY.

I watched D.E.B.S. when I got home from work last night. For about the hundredth time. I never get enough of that movie - Jordana Brewster is just too cute in that role. Sara Foster isn't so bad either. I used to have the original short film of D.E.B.S. on my computer, and I find it amusing that Lucy and Amy were played by Clare Kramer and Alex Brackenridge, who were both on Buffy at one time or another. Plus they make a totally hot couple. Anyway.

I've become obsessed with the song Barely Breathing by Duncan Sheik. I put it on repeat on my MP3 player and listen to it like 10 times in a row. I suppose I should learn to play it now.

Ok, well, I'm off to pay some bills and pay for my Serenity cards. Later days y'all.

I've been to the movies 3 times in 2 days now. Sunday night, Rick and I went out to dinner together and then went to see Narnia. I have never read the books or seen the original movie, but this movie was definitely incentive to do so. Needless to say I enjoyed it a great deal. Although I did keep Ricky in fits of laughter with my comments throughout the movie. I'm really bad for doing that.

So anyway, yesterday I got totally bored and had nothing better to do so I went to see Just Like Heaven (hello, total romantic-comedy whore here...). I really wanted to see Rumour Has It but that doesn't start showing here until Thursday. So anyway, JLH was a cute movie. I like Reese Witherspoon. She's a great actress. It was kind of sad in parts, but what's a happy ending when there's no sad beginning?

Right after I got out of JLH, I checked the other movie times and it turned out The Family Stone was playing 20 minutes later so I had a quick drink then went to see that. This movie I loved. My mum's going to want to see this one - she's totally in love with Dermot Mulroney. This movie had a great story line, a little predictable, but enjoyable all the same. Plus, there was a cute deaf gay guy named Thad (played by Tyrone Giordano), Rachel McAdams and Claire Danes. I mean, 2 hot girls and a cute guy...what more would I want?

The only thing I didn't like about this movie was Sarah Jessica Parker. The casting was good for the film but I personally don't like her as an actor and had a hard time getting past that. Anyway, the movie was great. There were also a lot of sad parts in this one, but they were definitely essential to the movie.

Hmm. ok, so I have to go back to work today. That sucks. I hope my new glasses arrive today before I go. I'm so impatient.

Oh, yeah, I bought the new Keith Urban and Jo Dee Messina albums the other day and I love them. I'm especially in love with Making Memories and Tonight I Wanna Cry by Keith, and It's Too Late To Worry and Who's Crying Now by Jo Dee. I'm such a sucker.

Anywho, I'm out, I need food and to finish the tea Haydn made for me.

All in all, I feel comfortable and happy. I hope everybody else is feeling as good as I do. Peace y'all.

Let me just say...

I finally saw it. HP4.

Now I feel like a dizzy ninth-grader with a schoolboy crush.

When Emma walked down those stairs and smiled, I couldn't breathe. She looked amazing. And while it is quite painfully obvious that she will never be interested in me, I'd have to be blind, deaf, dumb and crazy not to be completely and utterly in love with everything she is and everything she does.

Yes, I realise I am talking about an actress who lives halfway across the globe (or, with Hermione in mind, a fictional character), and someone who is quite possibly too young for me. But thats the strange thing about me - I just don't care.

You may think I'm insane, but at least I'm happy. And as long as Harry Potter is around I'll continue to be a happy little crazy man.

*sigh* If only she knew what she does to all the little boys...

Is that not TEH CUTEST THING EVER?! John, back me up here buddy!

OMG I'm so totally seeing HP and the GoF tomorrow!! I never thought I would be excited to say that. Although, to be fair, it was originally just the temptation of a cute underage girl with an English accent that lured me in so I think I can be forgiven for falling in love with the HP phenomenon.

I just went through and read back over my entire journal (which isnt that long) and I realise I have completely changed since my first post. If nothing else, I'm much more easily pissed off these days :-P

But I've definitely seen some change in the way I see relationships too. I used to be the kind of person that thought I needed to be with someone, or be in love with someone to be happy. Even when I was totally miserable because the person I wanted didnt want me, I was still pretty happy because, lets face it, I was getting what I wanted. And what I wanted was an excuse to feel something. An excuse to get emotional, whether that be in a good way or a bad way. Only recently have I changed in that sense. I don't feel like I need somebody else to define me anymore. A big part of that was talking to John again. He makes me feel like I'm worth something, even when certain things in my life aren't going well.

Back then I was happy because I was miserable. These days I'm just happy. I'm moving up in the world. Thanks brother, I owe you more than you know.

I've just spent the last 9 hours watching Harry Potter, and playing with the special features. I think I did a pretty good job of understanding the plot considering the amount of times I missed hearing lines over my own murmurs of "Emma Watson is the most ~~fuckable~~ adorable girl I've ever seen!"

Goblet of Fire isn't out here until this coming Thursday, but since I work Thursday night I'm going to see it first thing Friday (I'm going to watch Domino on the same day, but thats another story for another post). I know I've blamed John for this sudden attack of Harry Potter madness, but I think it's about time I thank him. While I still hold my other fandoms (Buffy and Firefly/Serenity) very dear to me, I think I now have a new one to add.

So...thanks John, I'm glad you got me curious enough to watch it. I know it doesn't take much (just dangle a cute girl in front of my face and see how little time it takes me to want to see it), but still, I think you deserve the credit for this one.

It would be great if Emma Watson lived in Australia. Since legal age here is 16, it would certainly be less time for you (or me) to wait :-P

Anyway, it's time for bed, I have work tomorrow and I'm not going to be able to sleep with all these pictures of her running through my head.

I just bought the DVD 'The Truth About Jane', starring Ellen Muth. The words 'puppy love' come to mind. She's so cute! Therefore, she is my latest obsession. At least for a week or two. I'll be getting Season 1 of 'Dead Like Me' on Monday, which she also stars in, so I can marvel at her cuteness and say 'Awwww!' every 3 seconds. It's just one of my more quirky habits. But anyway, if anybody else is interested, check her out at this site:

SHE IS TEH CUTENESS.

It's all about sex right now. I don't know why. The last few days all I've done is think about sex, watch porn and masturbate.

It's getting ridiculous actually. Usually I'm not one to openly admit to any of this, which also strikes me as kind of weird since I don't seem to be having any trouble admitting to it right now. Maybe it's all the thinking about the Gilmore Girls and, more specifically, Lauren Graham having sex with women, or maybe it's due to me watching a whole lot of my old movies with cute girls in them...it could even be an Emma Watson thing. Who the hell knows?

All I do know is that it's becoming quite a distraction and I'll be lucky not to get fired if this keeps up. I need to concentrate in my job, otherwise I could seriously hurt myself since I work with very sharp blades and rollers that could crush a finger in all of 3 seconds.

I need to get a grip. No pun intended :-P

John, I totally blame you.

When the Harry Potter movie was first coming out, I vowed not to see it, purely because everybody else was SO IN LOVE with it. I wanted no part of that, but I buckled under pressure and watched the first movie. I loved it, and I hated the fact that I did. I refused to watch the next 2 when they came out and up until now I have stuck to that decision. But I got curious about Goblet of Fire after reading some of your posts involving Harry Potter. Then I went to see Flightplan last night and saw the Trailer for GoF. And now...

I am so TOTALLY DROOLING ALL OVER DANIEL Radcliffe AND EMMA Watson. (The 15 year old versions, not the 11 year old versions - although Daniel was still pretty cute at that stage...)

Ohhh, that accent...*drool*

So I'm giving in. I'm going to hire the first 3 and watch them back to back, then go and see the fourth in the cinema. I'm becoming a HP addict, and it's ALL. YOUR. FAULT.

By the way Johnny boy, my brother is staying with me until Saturday, then I have an old mate staying the rest of the weekend, so I don't know when I will get around to replying to your email yet. I feel like we're just getting into the headspace where we can finally start digging a little deeper into each other, so I don't want to make a rushed attempt at it. It might take a couple days, but I want to write something good for you buddy. It shouldn't take too long, I'll try to get something out to you after I get home from work tomorrow night.

Anyway, my hormones are going psycho - it's 2am and I'm horny as a bitch *cough*DanielandEmma*cough*. So I'm getting the hell out of here so I can go have a toss and get some sleep. Preferrably in that order :P

Goodnight, ladies and gentlemen.

Alright so its been a few days since I posted. I havent really got anything too interesting to report. I watched a movie called Dr. T & The Women yesterday. The only reason I bought it was coz I heard Liv Tyler and Kate Hudson make out. They kiss a couple times, and the movie's pretty good and everything, I just would have liked a little more girl on girl action in the mix :) Plus - big fan of both Kate and Liv.

In other news...I need to get the Gilmore Girls DVD box sets. Can't get them cheap in Australia, considering they were never released here so I can only get them on ebay. But within the next few weeks I'll get all the seasons that are out on DVD so far. As well as Tru Calling Seasons 1 and 2, Ellen Seasons 1 to 4, The L Word Season 2 (which we also won't be getting in Oz), all the Angel DVDs, Charmed...well, lets just say a lot of my money in the near future will be going to DVD box sets. I'm slightly obsessive about TV shows. It's sad really. In my house we own over 260 DVD's. And that's NOT including box sets. It's great seeing the looks on peoples faces when they walk into our house and the first thing they see is 8 DVD cabinets stacked up and full of DVDs. It's priceless.

Anyway yeah I'm going. I gotta get ready and go back to work to drop off some stuff to a workmate. He has a habit of lending me books and DVD's about lesbians, and the drawback of that is that I have to go up to work on my day off to give them back. Screw that. Anyway yeah. I'm out.

*Shameless plug for Serenity*

I've seen Serenity 3 times now - once on the worldwide release date, once last Saturday and again yesterday afternoon - and I can guarantee I'll be seeing it at least another 3 times before the run is finished in Australian cinemas. For anybody who hasn't seen it (which I'm really hoping is very few people), I can't recommend the movie highly enough. It's full of ups and downs and obstacles to overcome alongside our Big Damn Heroes, and even for those who haven't seen the Firefly series, Serenity really is something special. To those who have seen it: PLEASE, go and see it again, tell your friends, buy a stranger a ticket, drag your brother or sister along to it even if they kick and scream the whole way there, and if you don't have a brother or sister, gorram it, steal someone else's - do whatever you can, because it's our love, the love of the fans, that keeps our beloved boat (and Big Damn Movie), Serenity, in the sky.

*Thus endeth the shameless plug*

Current Mood: thoughtful

Just went to see Serenity again. Didn't end up going last night since I was at Davids birthday bash. There was, like, four of us. But I did finally get to meet the guy Dave's been in love with since forever, Brady.

He was a great guy, badly in need of a haircut, but cute just the same. And ohhhh so gay.

But anyway back to Serenity. I definitely got through it a lot easier the second time around. I must admit though, the first time I saw the movie I was basically in shock, the second time I knew what was coming and actually had a bit of a cry afterwards. I could deal a bit easier with what had happened.

I still think I'll need to see it at least another 2 or 3 times before I'm fully able to comprehend the whole thing. Not because the movie is difficult to understand but because I was a devout Firefly fan and became attached to the characters over the course of the series, and it feels like all these terrible things are happening to people I've been friends with my whole life. It's not easy to get over bad things happening to good friends.

A great deal of the other people going to see it have never seen Firefly and so are slightly less attached to the characters. This would make it easier for them to distance themselves from the emotion of it all, the emotion that a true fan couldn't (and wouldn't) try to distance himself from.

I guess sometimes the way I talk about Buffy and Firefly can seem extreme, but I think that's the passion of being a true fan. It's not about obsession, and I don't even think it's about a love of the show itself. It's an emotional attachment to the characters, the friendship you feel towards them, even though (contrary to popular belief) they aren't real people. Yes, the actors are real enough, but the characters they play are exactly that. Characters. Roles.

Even so. Buffy, Faith, Dawn, Willow, Anya, Tara, Xander, Kennedy, Giles, Spike and Oz ARE my friends. Mal, Zoe, Wash, Jayne, Kaylee, River, Inara and Simon ARE my friends. Understandably, some people will think I'm crazy, for that statement alone. But there'll be others out there who know EXACTLY what I'm talking about, because all these people are THEIR FRIENDS TOO.

And you guys are the ones I find most worth being friends with because...well, any friend of Kaylee's is a friend of mine :)

I need to process.

Serenity.

I know its been a week since I saw it, but I don't think I've fully processed what went on throughout the movie. Joss has this uncanny ability to surprise you, even with the most predictable move. It's unnerving.

And still I get disoriented when I think about it. It's going to take a few more watches to understand how I feel about where the story of these people is going. Until then, I'm not sure whether to be happy or sad or both.

I shall just stay quietly broken and in awe of the man who should be God.
