Today when I was searching my room for a document, I stumbled across an old folder of writing notes from those years when I was into writing (both regular stuff and fanfiction).
Now I'm reading through it and finding amusement out of the things that are related to The West Wing...
for example, I have a bunch of notes on a piece of paper from 2007 (at least a year before I ever even saw an episode of The West Wing), with the phrase, 'Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc' written on it. Now I'm assuming this is just a phrase that I liked from my critical thinking class in my first year of uni. But its the only one on the page that isn't related to a movie, tv show or song....and since it is an episode title from TWW...its funny.
On another page is a scene from one of the odd fanfics I wrote for Crossing Jordan, with a hotel/bar called The Ainsley.....dunno wear I pulled Ainsley from....but it makes me laugh.
....I guess I could play 6 degrees and connect pretty much anything to something if I wanted to, but I just thought it was interesting.
Also....there is a page with lists of all the cities and states I want to visit across the world, and in the US....DC is not on the list, but Kentucky, Ohio, and Nebraska are....why? That I do not know.
I guess once upon a time I had reasons to want to go to those places, but obviously I have changed my opinions in the last few years.
In other news, in the past couple of weeks I've seen a few movies. I saw Crazy Heart, and LOVED it. The music is really good, and maybe if I can ever find it, I will get the soundtrack. I also saw Alice in Wonderland in 3D VMAX, so it was a costly night, but worth it. I really enjoyed it. -That was the night of the big Melbourne storms, and seeing as I was down in Karingal, I missed it. But thats a good thing, cause there was no damage or poweroutages!
Last week I borrowed The Young Victoria - really really good; The Time Traveller's Wife - not so great; and Up. Up I loved it but didn't LOVE it in the same way I love the others, I don't think I could watch it as often as I watch Finding Nemo, Toy Storys and Monsters Inc.
Last night I saw Men Who Stare at Goats. It was really good, funny, and not quite what I expected. It was weird and entertaining. Just how I like things.

March Update
Last week was perhaps my least favorite week of the whole year. Monday was my Grandpa's birthday, Wednesday was my Mum's, and Thursday was my brothers. My whole life I have been very jealous of my family in March, cause all my cousins and stuff tend to have birthdays then....and not me. So I get grumpy...but the older I get, the more I am getting past it....as it should be!
Monday we went over to my Grandparent's and everyone brought food, just Mum and I went from out family, and only Sarah, Tracy and Elizabeth and James turned up in terms of cousins. It was fun though, everyone was talking about the major storms Melbourne saw over the weekend. Some had house and car damage...but we didn't have much at my place. I missed the whole thing, as I was down at Ness'...which was lucky for the car!
Tuesday I went shopping with Jacinta for some new interview/work clothes. We had lunch and then hung out her place for a bit. We seem to have developed a routine which is good.
Wednesday I had my interview in the morning, Mum dropped me off, and I met up with her after. The interview went ok, but I don't think anything is gonna come out of it. I don't think its really my ideal place to work, as it seems I would be alone most of the time...which doesn't sound much fun.
After the interview, we did some shopping, and then when we finally got home I got to give Mum her present...she was really happy to get a present and a card...which makes me sad that the rest of the family is super slack. I got her Baby Boom on dvd...one of her all time fave movies. We ended up watching that afternoon.
Mum, Scott, Nikki and I went out to Michelangelos in Burwood for dinner. It was really nice food, and a really quiet restaurant which was nice.
Thursday I worked, which was helpful, moneywise...then we had a special dinner of chinese and cake for Scott's bday.
The fact that there is still nothing on the job front...is starting to get both depressing and annoying. I spent the last few days searching and applying...but each time I care less and less about the job, and more about finding something. Which is bad...but here's hoping I find something soon...cause I'm gonna go crazy with nothing to do but watch tv...
Oh well....wish me luck!

Technical Dificulties!
So....this is my first post for March 2010.....and this evening I have gone a little internet crazy, because both the internet and the foxtel were down since around 3pm yesterday...which means I didn't go online since yesterday morning, cause I was having movie day with Jacinta.
So yesterday turned out to be a big movie day for me. Jacinta and I borrowed Whip It- which was really good, and Inglorious Bastards - which was good and I glad I saw it...but it was very very slow for the most part...and over 2 hours long.
Then Mum and I were contemplating going to see The Blind Side, cause it was cheap movie day, and then since the net and the foxtel were both not working...which means there was no tv either (cause we don't have a working aerial), we thought we really ought to. I'm glad we did, cause I really enjoyed it (I would have definately seen it, just maybe not this week). Sandra Bullock was really good in it...and it was also a greally moving story.
Then today since there was nothing else to watch (including Ellen with Lauren -which I was VERY mad about!), I found myself having a Megan Mullally day; this consisted of at least 4 episodes of Will and Grace and FAME. Fame wasn't THAT fantastic, but good enough...and having Megan sing in it was awesome...pity there was no Bebe singing.
I kept wanting to put on another tv show or movie....but nothing inspired me. Although I think in the next few days I might need to watch a RENT, or something.
FINALLY our net came back late this arvo, which meant I had TONS of tweets to catch up on. -At least they were good ones! Plus tons of other net stuff to catch up on.
ALSO, in all the net drama....I've had a busy day jobwise. Yesterday I got a call from one of the companies I applied for, and they left a message, I got back to them today. The guy was very happy to chat, and seemed keen...but it turns out the job was more design targeted than I'm really interested in...and while I think he wanted to be able to consider me for the job, he knew I wasn't really up to it. So I guess that is actually a good thing, no point going after jobs that I can't do. So anyways..I was a little bummed about that, but then just as the day was wrapping up and I was listening to music, my phone rings just before 5pm. One of the admin jobs I applied for, wanted me for an interview next week. This is my first interview call in...I guess the other 2 were technically phone interviews...I'm not setting my hopes high, but its a good start nonetheless.
Wish me luck!
