a bride in calcutta

[soundczech]

After months of insane boredom I'm finally starting a new job on Monday, as a Permissions Assistant at Cambridge Uni Press, finding images / negotiating to buy the rights for images for high school text books and stuff. It's kind of a relief, it's been a little under a year since I finished uni now, there's only so long I can cloister myself away from the real world without turning into the creepy kind of hermit instead of the nerdy kind. So I'm looking forward to it. HEY SOPHIE, NO USING ME AS AN EXAMPLE OF UNEMPLOYED ARTS STUDENTS NOW HUH. I have eyes and ears everywhere. Live the dream, Shitty, live the dream.

My mother returned from China last Monday with a host of pirated loot for me, including this complete Oz collection that looks more like a board game than a box set, a million other dvds, some S.H.E cds, a pirated copy of Cartoon KAT-TUN II You (she was really disappointed to find out that I already had another, real version, because she thought she'd found one of their cds that I'd have never heard of. Clearly she does not understand the fever of my obsession.) and this cd by some guy that I have begun calling "random old Chinese man". The twenty year old at the record store told her it was a great cd and I would like it. I suspect he was just trying to make a sale, it sounds like the Chinese equivalent of Willie Nelson or Kamahl or something. Probably he is some god of Chinese popular music and one day he will appear as a guest on SMAPxSMAP.

I've been reading a lot lately because I can no longer stand the flickering of my laptop screen (the power jack is busted) for more than twenty minutes or so at a time. When I am online I am obsessive compulsively refreshing Facebook over and over. foreword sends me like a billion sealions for my aquarium a day.

Today I saw a small child breakdance and it was one of the greatest moments of my life.

you didn't mention the headlamp!

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

its appeal has worn off. wearing it gives me a headache. today i bought a regular lamp.

[yamapea.livejournal.com]

I bet Eiji could breakdance, if given the opportunity.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

He seems more the jazz hands type.

[altricial.livejournal.com]

What's the name of random old chinese dude lol

[molt]

The DVDs and CDs sound super exciting. Congrats about the job!

Fucking Facebook

Win!

Congratulations on the Job!
My High-Five apparently had the desired affect!

What are your hours? Will I be seeing you as a regular on the Bus-Lines to Fisherman's Bend?
Heh, I doubt we can "do lunch" seemings my lunch is 2:30-3:30.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

It's in Chinese :( I'll bring it next time I see you, wanna have dinner some time this week?

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

So many dvds. I'm surprised she didn't get busted going through customs on suspicion of running an international piracy operation.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

I know. I just spent five minutes doting on my human pet.

Re: Win!

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Clearly your high five tipped some kind of cosmic balance in my favour.

9-5, Mon-Wed at the moment. The buses in Port Melbourne terrify me, so I'm not sure yet if I'll take the bus or just put up with the super-slow tram. HEY YOU KNOW PORT MELBOURNE YOU CAN ACTUALLY SET MY MIND AT EASE ABOUT WHICH BUSES I'M SUPPOSED TO TAKE. Both the other times I've been there so far I've ended up taking a taxi. Even after waiting for that bus all that time the first time. When I got on it wasn't going where I thought it was going so I jumped off in terror. I am so hopeless with buses.

Congrats on the job. :D

Right.
No problem sorting this out for you.
235 and 238 will get you to work.
If possible, you want to get the 235, as it goes directly to your work. The 238 goes down Lorimer, past Holden (represent!) and up to where you are.

To get there before 9, there are quite a lot of services. You should have no major dramas.

I left my facebook logged in at the boys' place a couple of nights ago and the next morning I refreshed to discover that "I" had written "poo and wee are my favourite in the world" on my wall.

[altricial.livejournal.com]

This week is no good, I've got 4869707808 things to rush. Next week would be better. Are you excited to start work tomorrow? *_*

my best friend deleted his facebook for two days in a fit of stress last year (he let his messages and wall posts build up and people started angrily sending more in response to his lack of reply) and when the link to his name disappeared in my pictures, I thought he had ceased to exist for a brief disastrous moment.

congratulations on the jobbbb♥. :D

[inevitabilityy.livejournal.com]

congratulations - now you have a job! :D

Once I saw a small child breakdance at Waterloo in London.

It was one of the more enlightening experiences of my life.

[feigningsleep.livejournal.com]

Oh, I remember when my dad bought this obviously bootleg CD. He was so excited; I felt kinda bad when I told him it wasn't a real copy. Even though it should've been obvious; the paper insert looked like someone printed it from their home printer except, you know, worse. I can only imagine what a bootleg Cartoon KAT-TUN II YOU CD looks like; for some reason it's really really amusing me...

BTW the picture freaked me out at first because I didn't know what it was. Though now I's just wondering what the hell your cat is licking. A blanket of some sort?

[samenashi.livejournal.com]

another cat!!!!

[samenashi.livejournal.com]

but i agree, it's a pretty crappy photo, huh.

[cherprudence.livejournal.com]

WONDERFUL WONDERFUL NEW JOB! I think you should post the first picture you get published :D a mark of fame!

Re: Win!

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. I've been taking the 235 even though it means I get to work half an hour early, without dramas. Buses suddenly less terrifying.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

thanks ♥ ♥ ♥ i now have four days off. i plan to sleep for all of them.

a facebook death :( did you hold a facebook funeral

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

Thanks

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

dying, my other cat Akira. To be fair it was a crappy photo taken on my phone.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

at the moment it's looking like it'll be this crappy goldfish i drew in paint as an example for a paint activity in this year seven IT textbook.

[one-if-by-land.livejournal.com]

I typed the nicest eulogy that ever adorned my wall.

[cherprudence.livejournal.com]

hdlasjdhjh that sounds really nice :( I like goldfish!

[tretton.livejournal.com]

Well.

Now I feel like the sort of person who still breaks up with their parters by leaving them a note in their coat even at 20... Granted, I do have a lamp in the form of a bunny in my room so maybe it's just suitable that I let Aki poke you for me.

I'm not sure I should leave a comment here but I couldn't figure out another way to say thanks for adding me and if I hadn't said anything at all I would have felt even more stupid. Even sort of creepy. So, thank you for adding me and letting me see the glorious Akame picspam!

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

SDK:F:LDSK:FLKSDF No problem. Nice to meet you. I'd have been impressed if you'd had Aki write me a note (Do you like tretton? with tick boxes for yes no and maybe.)

...because you get impressed by immature people?

ELABORATE EFFORTS IN PHOTOSHOP ARE THE WAY TO MY HEART
