So I watched "Dude, Where's My Car?" last night. I'd seen it when I was younger but forgotten most of it. (I've done that with many movies.) And as stupid as it was at times on the whole I found myself enjoying it a lot.

Then it came to a certain scene. I nearly choked on my pizza. I re-watched it a couple times, then found it on YouTube today to watch a lot of times.

I think you know which one I mean.



Haha these idiots have made me so happy. <3

I'm sure I missed this scene when I was younger. Because I would have remembered it. I think even then the seeds of slash had been implanted in my brain.
 
 
 
 
 
 
It was just driving me crazy and I had to rant about it, even if no one cares.

So today I had arranged to go see "New Moon" with my friends. I honestly do not care about the movies, don't have time to read the books and don't find the plot interesting enough to do anyway. But of course I enjoyed the idea of slashing the gorgeous boys I saw all over the place. It was necessary. However I only saw the second half of the first movie, and have no idea as to what exactly was going on.

Either way, I wanted to get out of the house after exams and spend time with my friends. So we were watching this for my friends' cases. A third of the way through, the last person we were waiting for showed up (my gay friend Rob lol) and we kept giggling about how silly it all looked. Then right at the climax of it all, as Bella was walking surely to her death, THE SCREEN WENT BLACK. The cinema collectively made angry noises. I laughed my head off at the image of angry Twitards running off to bite the projector man. Basically, there was a power failure (welcome to South Africa!) and we were all given free "any movie, any day, any time" tickets. But what ticked off my Twilight fangirl friends was that New Moon was going to be booked full for a few days anyway. They would have to WAIT gasp shock horror

Well then I went off to buy some pocky, (I don't know what else to call it, so forgive me sounding like a Japanese wannabe), precisely two boxes; there was chocolate and yoghurt. I ate both boxes in like, an hour of walking around the shopping center. I shared some of it, but not enough to justify my addiction to it. It was depressing.

But then something really weird happened. My friend Belinda's bright orange hair probably caught the guy's initial attention, but she was wearing a necklace with heiroglyohics on it. Basically, we were approached by a roaming monk. Who tried to sell us his weird Hare Krishna books. I have nothing against it, but by having an irritating hippie lady in my house all things realated to energy, auras, etc. drives me crazy. So I was just like "yaaaaaaay...heh..." and Belinda pulled the "Sorry I spent all my money :(" card and we were saved for a bit. It was honestly the weirdest thing to happen to me in a while.

The rest of the day wasn't too eventful. I'm working on Christmas presents now. I'm photoshopping a picture of Belinda my orange friend with Edward Cullen and putting it on a shirt for her. My friend Jenna loves slash almost as much as I do, and is getting some emo boys or something on hers. And my best friends are going to get a super surprise (as always).
 
 
 
 
 
 

My gosh I swear I could kill my dad sometimes.

Sooo, for a whole week now we've had random people in our house. That's the one thing my dad does that I hate. Just because you know them dad, and we've heard about them, doesn't make it okay to bring them to stay in our fricken house!! Especially when they end up having to stay for a long time. This is why you have to send me back to the therapy that you keep bitching about dammit.

These people aren't even pleasant. They're weird. The mother/lady/whoever is a hippie fashion designer who keeps going on about her future "organic clothing" line and how she lived in the middle of nowhere for a year and I. don't. care. She's been working in her factory for a few days trying to get the shipment out so it's okay but it's irritating as hell having her daughter(s) here. The first daughter is only just younger than me, but has a mouth and opinions equally as big as the Pacific ocean. Everything you say has an answer as if it's some sort of competition. (They also keep wearing the same gross clothes every day ew.) Luckily she was away for the entire first weekend, but this's lady's other daughter came for that time. She's only 10 years old and nearly as big as me. She ate all our fricken food, (some of it my au pair even bought for herself out of her own money), and left a mess everywhere. She even tried messing with my laptop and my PS2 without asking. NOT. COOL. None of them seem to have any respect for our house and don't clean up after themselves. It's disgusting!

But oh no, that isn't the worst thing. The fact we've had a crappy household for the past week of course is not responsible for me getting so upset about my exams I've been doing horrible in. The fact my dad doesn't care what it's doing to us hasn't got anything to do with it either. It was what happened last night that makes me burst into tears every time I try to explain what happened. (I supposed that's not much of an argument; I cry all the time.)

Basically, I was downstairs on my laptop until like...1 am-ish. I was writing a silly little bit of fanfiction and it was enjoyable. However I could no longer ignore the tiredness that comes out of being awake since 5:30 am after three weeks of exam stress. So, I went upstairs. I remember that I heard semi-quiet voices from my dad's room. I didn't feel like comments on being awake for so long so I quietly started closing/locking the doors. But closing the kitchen door makes a lot of noise and I obviously made a point that I was there. (Better that I did.) I wandered to my room, and on the way I could see my dad's lights were off, the TV was off, and he and this lady were obviously in his room because she was not downstairs. Well this was when I ran to my room and got my pyjamas at close to lightning speed. However when changing, brushing teeth and such I could hear a bit more from the bathroom. I honestly sang to myself whatever tune I could think of so I wouldn't have to hear anything. And although it wasn't loud, the noises I heard from time to time were obvious. The second I was done I ran back to my room, slamming my door to make a point, and sat in my room with my iPod headphones in and feeling more freaked out than ever before in my life.

When I was younger I once had a problem slightly similar with my dad and my mother. But that was different was because a) it was my mom and not a random woman we hardly know and b) nothing was happeneing yet. My father had a girlfriend for a while not so long ago, but she's been off the scene ever since I saw my dad had brought a different lady home who was in his bed. (She was pregnant wtf.) Basically, I've seen more things than I should have, and he doesn't seem to care how screwed up I feel when he does stuff like this.

What kind of parent does this kind of thing when their child is downstairs and can come upstairs at any time?! With a 10-year-old asleep in the next room who could also wake up at any time and be sent to therapy even more often than she is now?! I'm only 16 and have been into hospital, gone to a psychologist for nearly every year of high school so far, been put on medication (they tried recently but they made me sick). My 10-year-old sister is going to a psychologist regularly. She's only 10, how the hell can he think that's okay?! I'd been through it at that age, but I wasn't suffering like she is now.

And he doesn't make it any easier or even care.

My god what is wrong with my family. We just got a psycho mother off the scene and now he's pulling this crap. I cannot STAND IT.

*sigh* just...sorry I'm bugging you with this crap but I HAVE to get it out my system.

 
 
 
 
 
 


I have never been so humiliated, and yet laughed so hard, in my entire life.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Sooo...Spring break just disappeared from under my feet. After my few days of work experience being wasted because other people ruined it, (we're blaming my injury from falling on the stairs though), I was whisked way to Cape Town (on the other side of the country). Not to say it wasn't fun, but it lasted a whole week. I could have bummed around and had friend time so much more if it wasn't so long.

I did many things. I got a tattoo, for instance. Hell yeah I did! It's a small 'roku' sign and star on my hip, but I feel so cool now. XD I then got leggings, (black as well as purple ones), and armwarmers with buttons on them. It was from the most legendary sock stand in the world where you can get thigh-high rainbow socks and all sorts. Love that place. <3 Aftre that we all went up Table Mountain...only after standing in the queue of death. But it's okay. It was beautiful and clear and not 5 degrees like last time. Monday was a theme park! It was fantastic, though we got sick of all the lines and people very quickly. And lastly, a safari! Two hours on a bumby minibus ride (full of awkward German tourists in their khaki clothes as opposed to my bright orange) to get there, but then the most amazing breakfast in the world. Two/three hour safari; we saw tons of animals and all of the big five except for buffalo. Just because I live in Africa, doesn't mean I see these things often. It was so fun. Lunch was amazing and had freaking dessert. Then we lazed around in the sun. I felt like a dork smearing on sunblock all the time. On the ride back, I had an idea for a picturebook-type magazine filled with photographs of pretty boys. I'm working on that idea still, but I'm excited for it.

Drawing never happened on the trip. I drew on the plane to the place, and it sucked. I drew while we waited in the airport for hours on end when leaving, and it sucked then too. My drawing content was pretty restricted because of my au pair next to me. She doesn't know that I like...boys doing creepy things to each other. It's harder to explain to normal people.

Thursday I invited a friend over (however it's very awkward because apparently she's in love with me and I don't really go for girls and she's annoying) because I hadn't seen her in months and I felt bad. Plus I wanted my Avatar game back. >:< We did nothing in particular though. Nicole (my au pair) had a week's worth of EastEnders to catch up on, and I just wanted to see the gay drama. There was none. Roku was not impressed. They never do anything particularly gay, but it's fun to wonder. I even ventured to ask Nicole if she knew which one was "batting". Haha, I could think of no other slightly-discrete way to put it.

My best friend and I watched Avatar and anime all day Friday, then played my Avatar game and Persona 4 until 3 am. It was fun, but due to fate obviously hating me I woke up for some rason at 7 am. Freaking 4 hours sleep. Wow. I was all emotional all day and when I found out my friend who likes slash wouldn't be coming I was crying. Then I bumped and broke a bottle of champagne in the store all over my Hetalia shoes that I still couldn't seal and I have to fix them. I'm so glad Japan was unaffected though. And I watched the end of my Ouran DVDs, cried, and fell asleep for hours. I wasted my last Saturday. I was very unimpressed.

Today was total bumming around day. I read some mature fanfics (I've been clean for ages, I need something!), then wrote about...half a page of Techno Sloshy. It's feeling too repetitive and rambly. I'll get there one day. I was distracted and read the last two chapters of "Angels and Douchebags" as well as "Into the Labyrinth" because they've been staring at me for months; thoroughly enjoyed the works of Havoc, as usual. I also have a book to read the first part of for tomorrow...and it's time for sleep. Whoo.

I know it might be boring, but there's some slightly useful info in there I guess. XD

Oh yes. Random: I've been watching K-On! episodes, and it's sweet. I couldn't get too addicted to it, but stuff about music is very fun. As a budding guitarist, I need to learn junk! (No, I just love the sugary sweet lyrics that make you cringe accompanied by the really catchy tunes.) I've been yelling "Please don't say you are lazy!" at people for weeks now.

Also, Engrish.com is great for nearly peeing your pants with laughter. Honestly.
 
 
 
 
 
 
I never have time to post updates. Never. But who cares. I guess I'll just say what I have to say. Boring or not, I'm just putting it here.

Well yesterday was the school fair. The grade 11s are in charge of the House of Horrors, and this year we did a creepy carnival theme. Now count on Roxanne to take on too much and make her life difficult. I'm on the advertising commitee and offered to make clown shirts for us to wear when we run around telling people to go. If we don't contribute then we don't get seniority next year. This means no chairs for assembly, no matric jerseys or matric ties. Considering how we have to wear uniforms we might as well be allowed to feel special.

So anyway. I started the third term and was immediately bombarded with schoolwork. I have a major EGD project to do in the next two weeks and I'm already struggling. Then I just had to overload myself with this silly sewing expedition. But anyway. Yesterday I wore enough colours to induce an epileptic fit, had my hair teased into a mass of spikey mess and my facepaint was scary. I will not lie. However, little children weren't scared of me. They were actually all very excited to see a clown. I'm not here to entertain little children, I'm here to tell people to go get the pants scared off of them. XD

Haha my little sister and her friend went in, and when they came out they were close to crying. We felt so mean but we couldn't help laughing. Especially at the boys who went in first. Before the went they were full of themselves and all "Oh yeah no I'm not gonna get scared!" Once they came out they had tears streaming down their faces. Silly little children.

I needed to go home after my shift to wash my hair (there wasn't hairspray so we held it together with brown facepaint). Getting my face clean took scrubbing under a running tap for nearly 20 minutes when I was still at school. But when I actually got clean I realised my feet were so sore that I was confined to sitting for the rest of the afternoon. Then I wrote more Techno Sloshy. I'd write today but I don't have time. I'm doing research for my project. I won't bore you with it, so I'll just put up pictures when it's done.

In other news, I ate like, 2 small tubs of ice cream over the past two days. I feel compelled to eat more now. Addicted to ice cream indeed.

I feel so unmotivated to draw on weekends, but when I'm in school I keep suddenly getting weird cravings to draw, and if it's aything other than a doodle it's sketches trying to improve my anatomy drawing. Female anatomy because I can't draw males without reference.

ANIME CHAT. Whoo.

I just saw episode 7 of the Endless Eight Story Arc in H@ruhi Suzumiya 2009. Worst freaking idea ever, no lies. I'm so sick of seeing the same thing over and over and over again. But the opening and ending sequences are so catchy and fun, I can't stand watching the old ones. I had Super Driver in my head on the first day of school while knowing a total of 3 words. "SUPER DRIVER TOUSHIN...dadada da dada...um..."

It's so weird every time I remember that I'm 16 now. I'm technically allowed to read about implied sex now. Well considering how my first smut fanfic was read about two years ago it's a bit late for that.

What a confusing layout of thoughts. I don't even know what I'm on about myself.

Well there's a Simpsons marathon on now. Yay I get to waste time now!
 
 
 
 
 
 
I STOLE MY MULTIPLUG BACK. SCANNING WHOO~

Now for the weird idea I had.

It all started in English class. Common errors, ambiguity in particular. The teacher keeps using the example "Walking down the road, the sun was shining" making it sound like the sun was walking down the road ha ha. So anywho, we were determined to make the sun walk down the road. I took the artistic approach and humanized it. Of course I had to do the moon as well. And they had to both be boys. XD

SO I DID.



"Helios" and "Selene", both Greek names for the sun and moon. <3

I was going to use Latin for the moon but that was "Luna" (obviously way too girly). We decided his roommate would call him that to annoy him. XD

Helios works all day at an energy plant and Selene is a night guard. They can only spend two hours a day with each other in between shifts and sleeping patterns. Sunrise and Sunset in particular. Selene is sometimes an insomniac, the reason being that sometimes the moon is out during the day and you're like, "Wait what are you doing there? T__T"

Helios only feels warm, and Selene is ALWAYS cold. (Space is cold, man.) Thus the scarf and everything. And in a very sweet and corny manner, he's only warm when with Helios. Awww. <3

So Selene's roommate is a Star. College student, millions of relatives. Her name would be "Astron", which sounds so manry. She'd kill you if you called her that. "Stella" is her second name and she uses it for formal applications, but 'Star' is the preferred name. She's a yaoi fangirl (gotta have one of those) who obviously tries to get the relationship along. She's more like Selene's older sister and got him to stop being such a shut-in. Sweet~.





Side ponytails rock. And really odd clothes combinations and star jewellery. Do not argue.

I was working on a hippy character called "Mother Earth", but I didn't get far with that. I should do these properly sometime.

Okay well I have to go out for dinner now, even though I'm kinda sick. *dashes*
 
 
 
 
 
 

Oh my this is really dead in here.

If I had time, I'd post more often. But I even complained about life at school on deviantART so let's not repeat ourselves, 'kay? 8)

I shall post...random useless doodles. If I have any.

I'm sure I'll find lots. XD

Also plz note: Everytime I tried to use HTML it failed. Like, melted all over the page almost.

Okay well most of my stuff is on http://rjpwb46.deviantart.com/ However here is some stuff I think would make my little journal-hole seems less depressing. 8D
 


Random doodle of Marzy I forgot I did haha. I had no reference at all so plz no crit kthanx. She seems so be singing "Yeah Yeah" for some reason. XD

 

Isn't she just so cute and incredibly creepy all at once~?!

This is Daisy the Demon doll. Obviously possessed by a demon. A normal battered-looking ragdoll at rest, with what just seems a missing button eye. But disturb her, and you'll find out that hole in her fabric is actually an infinite void, and its darkness spreads out like tentacles over her face. She has a weird super sticky goo that pours out of the rips in the fabric, and maybe some tentacles if I feel like it. I have big plans for her...*strokes permanent marker beard*



A preview of what I did of http://homestar.livejournal.com/ for the "Style Meme"-type thing. I think I'll only end up finishing it in the holidays. But it looks so awesome I'm using it in my business card for my designs-printed-on-shirts thing I'm starting soon.

So here are the only two I've finished so far .___.;;



Not 100% happy with it, but apparently people like it. Coolio.



We all know what I traced over haha, but it is a different person (I shall keep those details to myself~) and I even wrote out the kanji so I deserve some creativity points. T__T

SO ACTUALLY ABOUT LIFE:

Okay well my multiplug was stolen (oh geez thanks D8<) so I can't scan anything right now. I even have so many doodles. I was asked to draw pictures of the starsigns for Art Club for the school talent show themed "Stars and stuff or something like that" as the teachers put it. (They'll be put in the program~ *feels so special*). I need to finish 7 of them tomorrow while going out to lunch with my grandparents who live an hour away. I swear every time I see them I get asked what I'm going to do when I finish school. And getting a BA in Graphic Design is apparently not a career. I'll say 'accountant' or 'ballerina' or something equally outrageous tomorrow. Either way, I'll get a lecture from my gran. The biggest hypocrit in the world, trying to find something wrong with my new au pair and "save her soul" all at once. Feel bad for her guys. I sure do.

SO ANYWAY. So that's that side of it. For the talent show the choir is performing something (probably Viva La Vida with a total of ONE practice session two weeks ago). Then I am going to be supersuper cool and do a speed drawing, in under ten minutes, on a huge piece of paper...of...wait for it...HATSUNE MIKU YAY. I get to play her music in the background and they HAVE to listen to the high-pitched over-adorableness! I feel so mischevious mwaha~

And then apart from that, I GOT A SEWING MACHINE. I'm going to make my own cosplay outfits from now on. And now for the biggest challenge, A HETALIA (Italia to be specific) UNIFORM MADE BEFORE EXAMS START (the day after my brithday! D8<). Because that's when the convention is. Sometime. Maybe.

Aaaaand allsoooo, my grade 11 'social' is coming up. They dumbed it down because the grade 12s were whining it outshined their matric dance. Now we get no tables, no suits/ties (no jeans/shirts either), no long dresses, not as much time, and it's kinda lame. But my new au pair has connections with a designer who's totes making my dress (which I will paint multicoloured strawberries all over the fabric) and it'll be kickass. She's also my shirt supplier. I feel so awesome. Now just to find a date. Or at least someone to take with. (In the beginning I was thinking of bringing one of my girl friends as a joke. However I was honestly asked if I liked boys or girls the other day and I can imagine a catastrophe occurring.) This random grade 8 boy keeps saying random thing during Art Club that I'm not sure how to take. Like, 'you're different, I like you', 'do you have a boyfriend?', 'you're pretty', etc. I'm so confused, because he ignores me after that. Boys are way too much trouble. T____T

AND I JUST CAME BACK FROM A CONCERT. I saw Goldfish, a fantasticness local (originated from my town even) electro-dance-mix-techno-type band full of win. I got muddy (it kept randomly raining), and got ditched by the people I was with. I was sad. >:

BUT IT WAS FUN. And rly cheap so not too much harm done. XD

And now I end off this way-too-long entry with a random sentence.

MUSHROOMS ON ICE.
 
 
 
 
 
 
OH EM GEE.

I'm not sure how it happened. >:

Well I'm listening to a random Yaoi video in the background, so I might start getting a bit perverted.

*sigh* Roku, you and your yaoi.

So anywai guyz, I'm going to try my BEST to update this semi-regularly. SUMMER VACATION WHOO! I'm gonna be in grade 11 next year. The work will build up. I will have less computer time. WILL SUCK. So for now, we will all put on our happy faces~.

Okay so I have been avidly following SBCG4AP. Since I am still in school, I cannot get a job. So I ask my dad if I can get the season pass. He said when I've written exams. I did, but still nothing. DEMOS CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH.

But I'm still really amped for Episode 5! 8D

And of course, the most significant thing of all for me, would be the fact that my province's FIRST anime convetion is in one week, AND IT'S DOWN THE ROAD FROM MEEEE.

YAY COSPLAY AND ART AND KARAOKE FUNTIME.

Okay this is actually turning out to be such a random journal entry.

I should draw...I mean...I draw best late at night...it's 9:15 pm. CLOSE ENOUGH.
 
 
 
 
 
 

All right. Even though it's finally holidays, I doubt I'll care enough to say something regularly. So be happy with what you get, 'kay?! D<

Okay then. On Thursday I travelled a gruelling 6 hours to Joburg in a car. Very annoying way to get there. However, I got to stay with my awesome aunt, so it was much better. She's about the most open and laid-back relative I know. Complete opposite of my mom, even though they both grew up in the same environment and everything. It's pretty funny.

Friday I went to "My Coke Fest", possibly the best concert thing to EVER happen here. 12 hours of mind-blowing rock, including some of the COOLEST bands I know!

Starting at 12 pm, on this racetrack place. Plenty space, and a disturbing 46 000 people present. The Golden Circle was twice the size it needed to be, and we were all pissed off about that. Also if you bribed the guards you could get in. Really stupid. I got this awesome T-shirt, though it was as overpriced as everything else. I soon got used to the smell of beer and cigarettes everywhere. It was gross, but I couldn't let that get me down. It was gonna RAWK. 8D

First were 4 local bands: Lonehill Estate, Car Crash Burn, Wonderboom and Prime Circle. In all honesty though, I'd never heard of the first three, and none of their music. But they were cool. However when 30 Seconds To Mars came out, holy crap was I amazed. I'd heard their music before and everything, but you haven't ever seen someone get along with the crowd so well! Jared Letto must have had some serious caffiene or something because he was jumping around and yelling at us. You would've never been called a "mother f***er" so much before, I can guarantee you that. XD

He climbed UP the support beam for the stage! Have you SEEN how high those things are?! He even sang a li'l up there. I haven't heard so many girls scream all at once. XDDDD

After them was Kaiser Chiefs. They were great, but after 30 STM, people didn't care all that much. I still loved their energy and attempt to get the crowd going. And the one song we knew, everyone sang. It was fun.

Next was Good Charlotte. LOVED them! Those guys are already awesome, but man. So cool. I had no idea so many of the songs I love were done by them! XD They were the reason my au pair wanted to go so much.

Chris Cornell was after that. I don't know who he is, nor care. I was too busy being dragged around to find a place to get food and stuff. I needed the bathroom, but I was scared to go. Plus the line was way too long. >>; So after 30 minutes in a queue to acquire two over-priced containers of chips, I only had to wait 5 minutes to get to the bathroom lacking soap and water and stuff like that. Don't want to have to do that again. >~<

I was exhausted by now. It was after 10 pm and stuff. So I curled up by the fence we were sitting behind, and fell asleep. During Muse. XD They made a lot of noise, yet I slept so heavily. Whenever someone would make a fuss over how good they were, I felt bad. But I needed sleep. Next was none other than KORN. Like I could sleep during THAT! XD

My cousin is a huge Korn fan, and the second some noise occured on the stage he jumped up and clung to the fence. I decided it was time to actually stay awake, so I got up too. About half an hour later they actually came on. I only know one of their songs, and that would be "Devolution". The whole time I was going, "PLAY IT ALREADY!" due to still being so tired. But then one look at my cousin so happy and jumping excitedly would make me stop. He's so quiet and polite, and didn't jump once during the concert until then. I laughed.

Actually having the concert finished and put behind me was great, but I still missed it. And then we sat in traffic for an hour before it started moving anyway. I woke up when we got back at 3 am.

After all this were a few days spent getting a chance to go visit my relatives who all live up there. I missed them, they're all such cool people. I spoke about important life issues with my aunts on the one day, and the next I played baseball with a cushion and paper aeroplanes with my cousins. XDDDD

Monday we drove back. I had my nice spot in the back of the van and some manga. After a while I started doodling, and it was so bloody like the manga I was reading. I was slightly scared.

All my arts and stuff will be on my deviantART account: http://rjpwb46.deviantart.com

I'm sleepy. So I'll stop writing now.
