What is your favorite holiday and why?

I would have to say Halloween.

At Christmas there is a lot of pressure to be happy, coz it's the season to be jolly. Well what if you're not jolly? Then no one wants to know you.
I don't know anything about Thanksgiving, except that Friends always had episodes about Thanksgiving and Brad Pitt starred in a Thanksgiving episode and he was HILARIOUS!
I've never really gotten into the New Year's Eve festivities. I also get kinda bummed 'coz it's like 'ho-hum the year is over' and I'm not a real resolution kind of person
I loathe Valentine's Day with every fibre of my being, it is hardly a real holiday. It is a hollow and loveless day. If you really loved someone you wouldn't need an international day to tell you when to give presents to them, you would make days up to give presents to them, yeah, that's true love
And Easter is okay. But it's the day when Jesus rose from the cross, right? Then why are we all getting fat off of chocolate!

Australia Day is pretty awesome, just because Australia itself is made of win. But Halloween would have to take the cake with me. I like not having the pressure of having to buy people presents and if you buy too much candy for the Trick or Treaters then that's just more candy for you. It's just a day to dress up and be something your not, which is always a lot of fun. It's the one day of the year where you can get away with dressing up like a complete wanker and no one can say anything
It's also a really great excuse to watch all of my favourite horror movies and have Thriller playing on repeat all day on my iPod

As long as you don't get a razor blade in your toffee-apple it's a really fun day

Title::..The End
Reality::..Lost - season 4, what happened to Claire after she was left in the cabin
Spoilers::..Cabin Fever
Rating::..G
Genre::..Suspense
Characters::..Claire, Charlie and Thomas
Author's Note::..So jesterlady suggested a fic where Claire can see ghosts and she sees Charlie's and then she tells him everything she never said in the show. I tried to write this and it didn't turn out half as fluffy as I wanted to, it became more suspensful and angsty than fluffy. Anyways, jesterlady, this one is for you, thanks for your support throughout all 100 of my fics, I hope you like this one. I decided to use a theory which was popular in the first couple of seasons before anyone got of the island...
Summary::..By some miracle Charlie was standing in front of me. How could it be? He was gone

How had I gotten here?  )

Have you seen New Moon? If so, how do you think it compared to the book? Was it better or worse than Twilight? Please, no spoilers!

New Moon was definitely better than Twilight. Why?

Four words: Jacob Black's eight-pack


Jasmine and I saw it together simply to laugh. We both equally dislike Rob and Kristen and were mainly going to the movie to pay it out. But then when we got there and Taylor took his shirt off for the first time our mouths were hanging open and whenever he was on we couldn't stop drooling, OH...MY...GOD! He is simply an amazing creature and I just wanna marry him, he's beautiful!!!! Go see the movie just to perve at him, it's totally worth it.
I really enjoyed Jacob in the books but there's no way he could be with Bella. I always support Team Edward, coz obviously they need to be together, but also because if Bella's with Edward then Jacob's available for me...pretty sure, I'll have to fight all of my friends for him first though, lol. My other reason to go see this movie was to see how Taylor pulled off Jacob and he did not disappoint, he was hands down the best part of the movie and made me fall in love with Jacob even more...whereas Rob makes me want to recoil from Edward
There were points in the movie where Jasmine and I were like 'WTF THAT NEVER HAPPENED IN THE BOOK!'. But altogether it was a better movie than Twilight. Except, exactly as in Twilight they needed to smile more!!! And also like in Twilight it seemed like the big complication only came at the end and then it was so quickly resolved, so don't go see it if you want an action packed movie...but go see it for Taylor's eight pack. I can't help it, he was amazing...and by 'he' I mean his chest, lol

Also, Forks jokes are really fun
Charlie: You can't stay in Forks
Jasmine: You have to live in Spoons
Me: No, Bella's emo now, she'll move to Knives

Alright, so I just finished reading Patrick Swayze and his Missus' autobiography. It's a great story. It's a story about two young people who fell in love, got married pretty young and then took on the world together. The connection they had was so strong, if I ever have any doubts about soulmates I just have to look at them. In the world we live in with all the 'one in two marriages end in divorce' crap it's nice to read a story about two people who were really commited to each other and wanted to make their marriage work no matter what. It's so magical the way they felt (or feel, I guess Lisa still feels hopelessly in love with Patrick even though he's gone) about each other, and I can only hope that one day I find someone to play the Patrick Swayze to my Lisa Niemi.



Nobody puts Patrick's pancreas in a corner )


What this book really made me do was admire Patrick Swayze as an actor all the more. Obviously I knew he was an awesome actor before this but after reading it I know that he was an AMAZING actor! He suffered for his art and he worked so hard for it. Yet he was never rewarded with an Oscar. He lived and breathed every character
I've always had trouble dropping out of character after the director calls it a wrap at the end of the day, and this time was no different - as Lisa always jokes, "please don't get cast as an axe murderer! I don't want you bringing the home!"
I really wanna see like all of his movies now. But still not Ghost, I'm not sure I could watch that just yet






Today Mrs Crocker had us bring in things that prompted memories from their childhood. Pretty much everyone brought in sentimental stuff that reminded them of happy times with their family members.
And what did I take in? Dirty Dancing. Yes. It's my favourite movie from when I was a kid and it does hold a lot of great memories. And she wants us to write diary entries about our memories, so while everyone's writing about their family I'm gonna be writing about watching an M rated movie when I was like four years old, lol
I'll just have to make it the best damn diary entry ever!

Making my way through Lost season two (gots to do something until January, right?) and I never noticed this before but:




AWW JINIKINS! Jin's such a cutie. He holds onto Hurley a little longer, gives him a bit of spoon-age and it looks as if he's kissing Hurley's shoulder. SO CUTE! Hurley's shoulder needs love too, lol
I love Jin soooo much. I can't wait to see the reunion between he and Sun. And I'm really hoping for scenes with him and Ji Yeon. Just more Jin in the new season please.

Next to Jin I love Hurley episodes. They are wonderful, some of the writers best work. They mix drama with comedy and pretty much anything with Hurley in it is wonderfulness. There are some things only Hurley can get away with and punching Sawyer out is one of them. With anyone else it would have been a huge drama and Kate probably woulda cried. But with Hurley everyone stands back and let's him do it, they're all like 'yeah, fair enough'. That is the beauty of Hurley's character, amongst other things. And don't even get me started on Hubby...[sigh]





I was hoping to see The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus this weekend (seen the trailer four times for the four times I saw This Is It [pumps fist]) but I don't think it's playing in my shithouse town yet. So I guess I'll just have to see This Is It again...oh well...

...then they made me their chief...
Okay, I've seen This Is It twice now, I have my ticket for Saturday and if I want to beat my record (after I saw The Dark Knight three times) I have to go see it once more after that, which I think I will definitely do.
Have any of you guys gone to see a movie at the cinemas more than three times?


I've been waiting and waiting to see this movie, counting down the minutes, stalking the offical website for new clips and looking at the CD booklet at least two thousand times. Now I've seen it, twice...
And it was AWESOME! All of those This-Is-Not-It.com jerks saying that the promoters were working Michael to death is such a load of bull. He looked amazing, absolutely amazing and yes he look thin, but Michael always looked thin, even back in the Thriller days. But he was amazing, he was full of energy and joy and the talent remained, he never ever ever stopped being The King of Pop and if this tour had've made it he would have showed the world that.
After watching it the first time I felt a little hollow, because the movie itself is really like a blueprint for the tour. Simply by the things seen in the movie you can tell the tour was going to be amazing. The special effects are just mind-blowing and all of the effort put into it, you can really tell that Michael wanted it absolutely perfect, which is what it would have been if it had ever gotten past rehearsal stage. So in a way it's sad because you can tell it was going to be amazing and you can tell Michael really wanted to do it.
But for the majority of the movie I sat there with my mouth hanging wide-open. He is breathtaking, absolutely breathtaking. When he sings Human Nature he hits the notes exactly as he did when singing it on the record. It's so funny when he's singing I'll Be There he stops for a moment and is like 'I'm trying to conserve my voice, so please understand' and then he belts it out as perfect as ever. His voice is stunning, absolutely beautiful
He is incredible, especially for the fact that it's rehearsal. You can only imagine how crazy he would have gotten with a full audience in front of him. I really hope lots of people go to see this and they see just how amazing he always was. Like he sang in Unbreakable you can try to stop me, but it won't do a thing. After everything he endured he came back and was ready to put on the show of a life, it really is a shame that this is the way we have to see it


My two fav costumes:

I really love the way he looks in the grey suit with the red pattern shirt underneath. He's very dashing. And he always looks good in the Smooth Criminal gear, and the opening to that song AWESUM! (although Thriller has the best opening, if you thought Thriller was good in the '80's, wait til you see it now)

The top parts for me would have to be at number one him doing Billie Jean, OMFG! He's amazing and he gets so carried away with the dancing and the singing, it's so great. He only does a tiny-widdy-bitty moonwalk during it and the camera is at the wrong angle so you can't really see it, d'oh! But all the new moves he added were sweeeeeet! I could've sat watching him do that one song for a long time
Number two at the end of Thriller when the ghouls are leaving and Threatened is playing and Travis is trying to talk to him and he's too busy grooving. It's so great to see him enjoying himself like that. And I understand completely because I love that song too. Trying not to dance in your seat during this movie is practically impossible. It was also difficult for me to not clap at the end of every number, he deserved applause
Number three acting all bashful when Judith is singing I Just Can't Stop Loving You to him, he's such a cutie!
And simply any moment in which he smiled was perfectionate. That smile absolutely melts me, so adorable and happy, it's exactly how I like my MJJ. This movie did not disappoint and I would have expected no less from the King of Pop




The dancer at the beginning of the movie (the guy who speaks last before the scene changes) it was like he stole the words right out of my mouth, he starts with 'life is tough, right' and then says exactly what I feel, he wanted 'something to believe in'. And that's exactly what Michael is, something to believe in. He summed it all up perfectly






The new single is amazing. The dickhead host of our morning show over here (Kochie, bald creep) said 'it's no Billie Jean'. I'm going to quote Bette Midler from when she was in Seinfeld here 'get some talent, then you can bitch'. But yes This Is It has none of the theatrics of Billie Jean or Thriller or the grunt of Black or White but it's a beautiful ballad
Stay right until the end because at the end of the credits there's a little more from Human Nature.
I tried to start applause last night but no one was really into it. Then today it worked, but only for like a second coz they wanted to shut up and listen to the song - with good reason too


So That Was It. And I don't give a damn what Joe and LaToya say, it's beautiful. It's Michael and it's worth seeing it at least 30 times at the movies, except with only a two week run is that even possible?

Author's Note::..Lost fic number 99, just a bit of fluff before the big 100! I was watching Lost, season two and I realized how much (at the time) I hated the hatch, the storyline really bugged me because it took so much attention away from the beach gang. So I considered if this storyline had happened I might like the hatch a little more, anything can be improved by CC. They never spent any time in the hatch and never talked after what happened in Homecoming, so I thought I would explore this alternative
Summary::..Charlie couldn’t believe it. He had been suckered in to button duty, Charlie and Claire spend some time in the hatch.

He didn’t know what she wanted him to say. All women were confusing but Claire had to get a special mention. )

Hey, Hey It's A Scandal!

So Hey, Hey It's Saturday is a part of Australian pop culture. It started off as a kid show in 1971 hosted by a dude with a mullet and a pink emu. Then it became a variety show and went on to keep going until 1999. Then ten years later 313,000 Aussie's demanded it be brought back for a reunion. And for two nights only it did come back
To huge ratings...and a scandal!

Apparently this has made international news. They have this segment called Red Faces (which a 17-year-old Cate Blanchett appeared on) which is a talent show where sometimes talented people show up but mostly its idiots who make their mates laugh and think this'll impress the sour judge Red Symons. They are lucky to get the whole way through their performance, most of the time Red hits a gong to get them to shut the hell up. Then once they're finished they get marked out of ten by the judges, you'll be lucky to get more than a two from Red.
This is an essential part of the show, people love this part, people making fools out of themselves, it's what we love. But last night it went pear-shaped. We had Harry Connick Jnr on the show as a guest (for his fifth time I think they said) so he stepped in for judging duty. And then, in came the 'Jackson Jive'. Five men in white suits with black afros and black paint on their face. They did a little jig before the ringleader came in, a man dressed in a rip-off of a Michael Jackson jacket also wearing an afro wig, but of course, his face was painted white. He proceeded to sing Can You Feel It with the others serving as back-up singers, dancing like absolute idiots I might add. Red gonged them before they could get very far into the song. When judging Harry remarked that if they were in America they wouldn't have been allowed on, 'it's like Hey, Hey There's No More Show'. He scored them a zero (and they deserved no less). Then later Darryl gave an on-air apology with Harry saying if he had've known it would have been on Red Faces he wouldn't have agreed to appear on the show that night
And now it's international news.
Harry said it upset him because in America it wouldn't have been accepted. In America they 'aren't allowed to make black people look like baffoons'. I don't think the six doctors (and wow you're a plastic surgeon, have a fucking medal) were trying to be racist at all. In fact, they did that routine back in the '80's (except the guy impersonating Michael had a black face as well), won Red Faces and there was no controversey. I don't think they really put too much thought into it when they put the black paint on their faces, they were simply trying to be funny
They had a poll on the news saying only 21% of our population found it insulting. Meanwhile apparently people on the internet are telling Harry to 'lighten up'. I guess none of us really took it too seriously because we haven't been as affected by racism as people in the States have. And we are quite loyal to Hey, Hey.



Now as I am extremely loyal to Michael Jackson it annoyed me. It annoyed me that they were singing Can You Feel It (one of my favourite MJJ songs) with colours painted on their face to make them appear a different race. Can You Feel It (like a lot of Michael's songs) is about peace and unity, 'all the colorus of the world should be lovin' each other whole heartedly'. It's about love, nothing about race. And yet they put the race into it! Why did race have to be brought into it? Why does the colour of The Jacksons skin have to do with the song?
It has nothing to do with the song, nothing! Race shouldn't have been brought into it. They shouldn't have painted their faces in the first place, not even back in the '80's.
Let's put the face paint and the afro's in the bin and leave singing Can You Feel It to the experts, shall we?




Looking back over it now I'm thinking it's probably a good thing Hey, Hey did go off the air when it did. The world was a different place ten years ago. Now we're so damn politically correct. 'ZOMG Santa saying ho ho is offensive to women', 'Cookie Monster should NOT be eating cookies', or whatever else those fuckers are complaining about today.
The thing is Hey, Hey is a great show, it's funny and it's great to laugh considering the dark world we live in these days. I hope that this doesn't change NBN's mind of bringing it back as a fulltime series...I guess we'll see


I hope this hasn't changed any of your opinions of Australia. Not all of us act like this, I promise you
To me race doesn't mean anything. I'm a teenage white girl so it never really affects my life. I don't let it influence the way I think about people. I only wish it didn't have to be so. Colour doesn't matter to me and I don't see why it has to matter to anyone else and why it has to make international news
Can't we all just get along? I really don't see why it has to be, society is majorly fucked up. We are all humans, we are all the same race, why does it matter what the colour of our skin is?
Anyways I shall live by the words set down by Michael Jackson, 'it don't matter if you're black or white'! And maybe one day we'll live in a better world







Anyways, that's the end of my rant. Glee is on (YAY, such fun 'you make this and you die a legend' - 'can I pee first?', ily Kurt!) and I've got a new Lost fic brewing in my mind

Bonjour y'all!

I thought up a new Charlie/Claire fic to write last night, wrote out a little plot outline but before I could write it I changed my mind about it, it's too much like fics I've already done. After around 95 fics about my beloved pairing I'm bound to start repeating myself.

Thus why I am proposing for you, the CC luvers of my f-list, to prompt me. [drops down to knees] PLEEEASE!
So comment and tell me what you always wanted to happen between Charlie and Claire and never did (so far, who knows what the new season will bring, do the writers even know?). And hopefully I can write a fic out of it...but you'll never know if you don't tell me about it.

So click the 'comment' button and send a prompt my way. [poke] Come on, you know you want to

So this isn't a huge shock the way MJJ and Heath were. No, we've known about this for a year or so and we've all kind of had time to register it. But that doesn't make it any less heartbreaking.

Patrick Swayze was a great actor and I don't think it's very fair that the whole world was allowed in to watch his life slowly fade away. I really hope the cancer isn't what people remember him for, because I really doubt that's how he would want to be remembered
To me he will always be Johnny Castle. Dirty Dancing was my absolute favourite movie when I was a kid and I think it's the root of the inspiration for at least three of the novels I'm writing, maybe even more. He was so great in that movie. His dancing...GUH. I really don't think there is anything hotter than a guy who can dance well, especially the way he danced. And he was believable in the part. The line of 'nobody puts Baby in the corner' could have been so cheesy, but he carried it off so well. IDK, I might just be saying that because of my extreme bias, but anyway...
When I heard the news of his cancer I was shocked and I loathed seeing photos of him looking frail splashed across magazine covers, so the whole world could see his private pain. One of the first things I thought when I found out he had cancer was 'well I can't watch Ghost ever again now'. And I haven't watched it since. That movie broke my heart the first time I watched it some three years back, imagine what it would do to me now
I really hope they give Lisa her privacy and really let her grieve him in her own way, which is none of our business

[sigh] mortality sucks

But of course there must be a bright side and this one is, he sure isn't in pain anymore, he's at peace and my heart really goes out to Lisa, I can't imagine what she's going through right now. They met when she was 14 (I think) and they were married for like 30 years. That is absolutely incredible...








P.S The This Is It trailer is filled with so much awesomeness I have to hold my head together while watching it, because the overload of pleasure might just cause my brain to explode...

ILY FOR ALL TIME MJJ!!!!!

Also The Imaginarum is coming out some time next month, can't wait to see Heath knock it out of the park again






[insert your opinion of Kayne's treatment of Taylor Swift at VMA's here]
on Katy Perry's Twitter it says 'fuck you Kayne! It's like you stepped on a kitten' LMFAO!






Last word:
Rest in Peace Patrick

So I finished reading The Shining today. I've got the movie, seen The Simpons version and Joey and Rachel's reaction to the book. But now I've finally read it, YAY!
I have to say, it was much better than the movie. Yes, Jack Nicholson is in the movie and you don't mess with Jack but you don't mess with Stephen King either. The characters were explained a lot better in the book. In the movie Jack's connection to the hotel wasn't communicated as well and it seemed as if he went psycho for no reason in the movie, whereas in the book his character had much more time to develop and really scare the crap out of me. And Wendy's character was much better, she was more than just the mum in this. But Danny was pretty much the same. The hotel was much creepier in the book, even without the blood in the elevator and the creepy little twin girls down the hallway. I think I liked the ending of the movie better
The one thing most disappointing was at no point did he say 'here's Johnny' in the book. I was hanging for that. But there was none of that, no 'all work and no play make Jack a dull boy' either...
Now I know why Rachel felt she needed a potato masher to protect herself while she was reading it, lol. It is one of the freakiest books I've ever read, the end was a bit of a let-down though. But then again, the rest of the book was so awesome I don't know what kind of ending I actually would have been happy with


Reading it I also couldn't help constantly thinking of The Simpsons verison 'The Shinning'.





P.S - Michael's funeral was broadcast on TV, wtf? They didn't show it on TV over here but it's on YouTube and I had saved a link to watch it later (although it's not really something I wanted to watch, not after the memorial) but then I read apparently Randy is really unhappy about it being everywhere because it was a private thing for the family and friends to say goodbye to him. And I have to agree, the memorial was for the fans and the people not lucky enough to know him but a funeral is a personal and private thing, which doesn't need to spread around everywhere. So I deleted the link, I didn't really want to see it anyway.
I really think the world should leave him alone, like how Entertainment Tonight reckon they've got the autopsy results and everything. First of all, how could they get that and second of all, why is it the world's business? If he had been just a regular guy his autopsy results wouldn't be splashed around everywhere, but no, because he made something with his life the public thinks they own him. Entertainment Tonight really bugs me...too bad they were showing really cute footage of Michael from the Dangerous era on Friday, which I had to see

Anyways, I should probably go do my homework...hopefully not much longer and then I'll be outta there

Aw, man, Madonna really drives me crazy. They were talking about her new music video and showing clips from it today and it really bugged me. I'm not gonna be ageist and say she should act her age, whatever, I don't care that she's like 51. What I care about is that she has children (her daughter is in the music video!) and in the video she's making out with shirtless guys, grabbing her crouch and wearing a skirt so short you can see her underwear. I don't care how hot she thinks she is, is this the way she really wants her children to see her acting? Personally if I had kids I wouldn't want them being raised with the whole 'sex sells' b.s. And think about it, how many little kids look up to her and think this is the way women should dress and act. It's obviously not just her, it's the majority of the mainstream music scene these days
But really you would think she would be a little more modest. It seems as if it would kill this woman to put some pants on. It also seems as if her career feeds more off of controversy rather than actual talent, I mean really, who puts out a sex book?
It's great that she's adopting children from Africa and all that, yes that's sweet. But come on Mads, please go home, finds some pants, put them on and KEEP THEM ON! Sheesh...

Alright those are my thoughts on the topic. I'll get off the soapbox now and leave you to your lives

Title::..Whatever Happens (Don't Let Go of My Hand)
Reality::..Lost - season 3, Tricia Tanaka is Dead
Spoilers::..Tricia Tanaka is Dead
Rating::..G
Genre::..Fluff
Characters::..Claire, Charlie and Hurley
Pairing::..CC
Author's Note::..A little missing scene fic. I was looking over my old fics (man, I can't get over how much Lost fiction I used to write, compared to how little I write now...), one of them being 'Left Behind' where I wrote Claire being there at the end of The Moth to hug Charlie and it got to thinking (and then to getting angry) about how Claire was never there when Charlie was playing hero. And the need to write new Lost fic took over
Lost fic number 94, WOOT! At the moment I have like four ideas for new Lost fics flying around in my head, so we'll see how that turns out, hopefully I won't get distracted by writing my novels
Lyrics in title and cut are taken from Michael Jackson song 'Whatever Happens', from awesome album Invinsible
Summary::..Claire finally finds out about Charlie getting stuck in the cave-in with Jack

everything will be alright, he assures her )

It's pretty much impossible for me to watch The Moth without audio commentary. Even if I don't have it on it still goes in my mind...
Damon: This is the part where Sawyer realizes he's let on to Kate about Jack in the cave-in
Dominic: And this is the part where they both realize that Sawyer has just let out a very silent fart. There it is 'oh and I'm up. It's smells like brocoli'

They should get Dom and Jorge to do audio commentary together, that would be great, I miss the Charlie+Hurley fun.




Watching season one makes me miss Shannon and bad-ass!Sawyer...and don't even get me started on Claire, man




ALSO! It's Friday, YAY!
