It's Only A Paper Moon Lyrics
I never feel a thing is real
When I'm away from you
Out of your embrace
The world's a temporary parking place
Mmm, mm, mm, mm
A bubble for a minute
Mmm, mm, mm, mm
You smile, the bubble has a rainbow in it
Say, its only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade
It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
~ M.M.W who loves this song, desperately ~
PS: This is amusing. My favourite one is:
"Well, do you know which one it is?"
"No, sir, I can't see through the bag."
"Well, hand it to me then."
*hands him the toy and walks off to get food. Comes back to...*
"I want to see what other toys you have"
"That's the only toy we have."
*snatches bag and speeds out of drive thru*
I hopped on the com to com line on the headset and said "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?" and the store manager responded with "Yeah, what was with that guy?" :))
Muahahahahaha.

Sick.
Current Music: Belleville Rende-vous - Triplets of Belleville
After I heard this song (at the oscars) I fell in love with it. Its so cute and french and kind jazzy. SO yes, its so me.
Sick today. Didn't go to school so lazed about my house, didn't do any hw. Bad me. Four days left till I get out of this school. Yayness. Am getting out of the whole country. So is there a downside?? Yeah, well I'm missing Petrie's b-day which kinda sucks. Bleh.
WL2, nearly done. Just have to touch it up and everything. Oh also, website up again and its got a whole new section...Reviews...which isn't even done. But all the stories are up. I was just wondering if I should post my other friends stories (Ames and them) because if my normal friends kinda stumble over it...well, I dunno what would happen, but it would be sorta awkward considering they only think I write for them.
Hm...another website? *g* maybe i'll make ames make one for me. Or em. SHe made me make her a lj. *snickers* Muah.
My other friend, tyger-lily has just made me fall in love with someone. He is so sweet. So sweet. So cute. I'll post his bio later. But I've decided I want to marry him. He lives in NY, is into anime and slash (and surprisnlgy still straight), has read Yami no Matsuei and Pride and Prejudice, wants to become a doctor and is so adorably cute. Woah. Orlando Bloom better watch his back, coz Hikaru's coming in (obviously not his real name). He's 18 and cries after Les Miserable.
Now she and I are having a fight over him. Dis is bad.
Tyger-Lily: Sensitive new age guy, yup.
Me: *nods* Mine. Mine. Mine.
Anyway. Enough out of me. History, Maths and English await. *sigh*

Bring on the html.

Saw 8 Femmes and Bringing Down the House.
8 Femmes: Mmm...Interesting. Its obviously theatrical and musical, since everyone sings but yes, it got pretty weird towards the end and me, being la mujer de mysterioso, guessed the killer. Woo!
Bringing Down the House: Stupid in plot and whatever else, but a good mindless comedy as usual.
So let's BRING DOWN the quotes.
~ BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE ~
Georgey Sanderson: Dad, what's a rack?
Peter Sanderson: It's a country
Peter Sanderson: You are such an ass...
[drinks water]
Peter Sanderson: ...set to this company
Peter Sanderson: Ashley! Who are you doing here?
~ 10th Kingdom ~ ( I haven't seen this yet, but if you do - BUY IT FOR ME! I want it so badly!)
Wolf: No, no! "Rare" implies dangerously cooked. When I say rare I mean just let it look at the oven in terror, then bring it out to me
Virginia: I've gone crazy. How can I be talking to a dog?
Prince Wendell: Bark!
Virginia: Yes, I have. Don't try to reassure me.
Wolf: Don't worry, I'm not who I used to be. I've had extensive therapy. I realize that I have been using food as a substitute for love and I have the books to prove it - "Breaking the Cycle", "Heal Yourself in 7 Days", "Stop Blaming Yourself, Please", and "Help for the Bedwetting Child", which I picked up by mistake
Gustav the Magic Mirror: An answer only will I chime, when questions put are asked in rhyme.
Dwarf Librarian: All early mirrors talk in rhyme.
Anthony 'Tony' Lewis: Of course
Snow White: Hello, Virginia. You look tired.
Virginia: Are you dead?
Snow White: Well, yes. I think you'd have to say so. I'm more into the whole fairy-godmother, occasional-appearance thing now
[After a mass poisoning]
Evil Queen: Seconds anyone? No?
Sally Peep: If my door wasn't locked, I'd be scared you'd come to my house and huff and puff and blow all my clothes off!
Wolf: Where do you live, Sally?
Wolf: But you don't understand, I won't be here next week!
Dr. Horowitz: Uh-uh-uh, you're not going to intimidate me with suicide threats
Tony: All right! Enough! I have a question! What is the point in having a door that has a horrible death behind it? Huh?
[picks up frog]
Frog: Get your hands off me!
Tony: What does that achieve?
Frog: What are you doing?
Tony: What is the purpose of your life? Just to be a pain?
Frog: Don't touch me there, only my girlfriend touches me there!
[Tony throws the frog through one of the doors]
Frog: WHOA!
[Tony slams the door, there's a large explosion and fireball]
Wolf: I guess it's the other one

Yes! *pumps air* Molly finally found a server to put up the Incredible 'Ten Minute Two Towers'.
Is awesome, so go read it. Or else download it. (Right click, save, easy as peach).
Is definitely distracting me. Ah, I love LOTR.
Mm...mum made me watch Where the Heart is which I think I liked it first (have seen four times, now) but has gradually been reduced to Rollerball residue. Anyway, I'm not posting about how much this film irritates me, tho it does, but I was shocked, I remember, the first time I watched it for having only watched The Bucanneers, one of those lovely period dramas I love so well, only a day before. Why? Well to explain first off, I LOVE period dramas. It all started with P&P with Mr. D and so on with the whole Jane Austen collection, which were a suddenl flourish of movies in the early 90's (S&S with Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Emma with Gwyn Paltrow and Mansfield Park with our Australian, Frances O'Connor).
Anyway, I picked up watching these mini-series again in Australia, altho living in England was excellent in this selective viewing, through David Copperfield (with a v. young Dan Radcliffe, for those avid HP fans) and so on. However mum got this one series called the Bucaneers and throughly bored, I watched it.
I loved it but hated it. Its about four american girls, with money as is usually NOT the case in JA novels. Or their family has some, not them. ANyway, they go to England in search of marriage, or as I call it a 'trade-off'. They marry men with titles, and in exchange for titles the husbands get the money.
Everything goes v. wrong. The mothers-in-law can't stand this American breed and the girls can't stand these stuffy old English-men and their manners. Its quite tossy and turny. What caught me and wrapped me up till I couldn't stand it anymore was Nan's and the Duke's marriage. At first I was on Nan's side, being married off and at first, appearing successful in catching the eye of a Duke nontheless. So on...it degenerates, and we discover that the duke is neurotic, a little less than insane and well...gay. So she flees off, not being able to stand this constriction of life in which she has been forced into by both her mother, her mother-in-law and her husband, with her old friend, Guy, who btw I really didn't like either. NOW here's where it becomes interesting, I felt so bad for Nan but at the same time I still felt an inkling for the Duke (unlike Moulin Rouge). I mean, in a sense I hated Nan because she didn't try to love him at all. She didn't. SHe didn't make any effort and I think that in a sense, really broke their relationship and relatively destroyed any sanity on his part. This little piece of humanity or intrinsic goodness that the Duke contained, really struck a chord with me.
Hey! Here's a villain who still retains a bit of his humanity! And I think that's why I hated him and loved him and he stuck with me. Sure, he's no Mr. D but he's still someone who I can believe in. (Just to quickly make the link here with Where the Heart Is, the duke is played by the same guy who plays the good guy in this movie. Which makes it v. weird for me.).
It happened again, almost recently, in another period series which sometimes I believe I might love even more than P and P and the Bucanneers. The Forsythe Saga which I believe tops any soap opera you can find. Believe me. You've heard my rants from before, so I'm not going to continue. But the roles of Soames and Irene touched again on that same Nan and Duke note. It completely plagued me. A young woman forced into marriage with a rich man, and thus degeneration from there. I saw all these neurotic, possessive links between the two despite the different classes.
And because of the bucanners, I felt more sympathy for Soames. He loved Irene, so much. ANd I HATED her. I hated, hated, hated her. And I have Alice's complete agreement with that. Sure, I felt sympathy in that she was forced and things became violent and stalker-ish but she didn't make effort to love him. And sure, there is fault in his part that he became possessive and never let her do anything, but he loved her so completely it life-altering.
And although he was The VILLAIN, I loved the way Galsworthy portrayed both parts, allowing those naieve readers to assume his villainery but at the same time, the depth and intuition of his character allowed us to pick up on that there were reasons to his evilness, and that there is a person, a very pragmatic person albeit, underneath this societal evil persona.
And hence, in the second series, this stereotype, these bridging areas bewteen the faimilies manages to split up a very lovable, fortuitous relationship between the children. And in that, we can see the villainery now become a part of the second family in that Soames allows his daughter, and even goes on her part to help her but it is the other family's grown hatred force them apart. And I love that. I competely love that de-humanising on the part of perspective and the 'truth' of evil.
Woah. This has been one big spew. And I'm sure that none of you have gotten it. But let me tell, you that's a damn sight better than my WL1 essay. Hmm...I better get to that. Laterz.

Just thought I ought to mention this.
Like Omg! WOW!
Note: I maintain that I do not frequent O.B. forums and that someone does, but I won't say their name. (never promised not to link). Oh and that my favourite part is:
"ohh and for your info... he invited me to go with him to Troy's premiere"

Uhhuhhuh...ur deluded...uhuhuh. *sung to the tune 'that's the way...uhuhuh...i like it...uhuhuh*
Muahahah!

Current Username: Bitchslap me back to Vegas! (which i think i've used before, sounds familiar)
Am stressed. So stressed. Got WW1 and Math Portfolio back. Right...*nods* Yep...they were pretty...sucky. And Ms.G is a fat ass ho. I hate her. Hate her. Hate her. Want to run her into the pavement. Her and all her little snotty, blond haired children.
Anyhoo...enough of the death threats, Mum has now freaked me out with a question that could disrupt or de-stress me. I don't know which. Mum is going to Malaysia apparently, and she asked me if I wanted to go with her. And she gave me today to decide, and tommorow morning.
Upsides
I get away from school and Steph's constant nagging to go away, and de-stress on a holiday.
Help me stop teetering on nervous breakdown.
Time to myself.
Will still do homework.
VCDs/DVDs/CDs galore!
Funness, altho grandma is dying.
Downsides
I might NOT do homework
Seeing all my relatives
Repeat of last time
Wasting my time when I could be here
Not going to various 'dos' during holidays - could be the last time we do anything together!
Hm...I really don't know. And I'm sorta freaking coz I only have a few hours left before I decide. AHHH! I really don't know. It really comes down to my work/friends or my work/comingtotermswithmyself which is quite appropriate, considering the topic I'm studying for psych. That reminds me, I better find some ethics for that. Have huge powerpoint presentation next thursday with Jen and D. And Steph is being a stick in the mud. Can you believe that there is someone as moody as I am? Its completely amazing. Its like seeing yourself in a mirror. Shocking and sort of...astounding. She's like a flick, wipe on, wipe off, that sort of thing. Wah. Its sometimes annoying to be doing IA with her.
My friends aren't helping. Ames says I should go, Em says I should (but this is Fiji girl, who blew her boyfriend off for some holiday boy-o) and Mary disagrees. So I'm stuck, because I listen to Mary the most but I have to consider everyone else's opinions. Yuck. Ick.
I want EE and to a lesser extent, Psych essay back. I know one of them is good, because my Psych teacher said it was good therefore it must be good. But Ms. L is such a fucking prick that I'll never get it back. Y'know during Psych camp, she didn't flush the toilet. EWWW!

PS: My sista accidentally got GQ with her monthly dose of Vogue. Orlando Bloom is on da cover, girlies! *squeals* Omg. Am so undignified, and in Year 12. Oh fuck, who cares! WHEEEEE!
Wednesday, March 3
This is a bit late...but that's only coz Ames notified me late. She made me a journal a while back (in espanol too, proud of her *pats*), she even did it up with my fave icon (all good with makers) and a great background that I'm sure she stole.
Anyway, you can go visit...its pretty cool, although I won't use it at all. I guess i just wanted to get away from chibihaneko. That thang is so old.
Its angel_iris. *big kiss* I wouldn't even bother visiting. I still have good old blogger.
~ M.M.W ~
PS: I might turn it into a blogger journal or 'you need help with Ib...so do i...' journal.

*watched oscars*
Just one thing, albeit glad that LOTR made clean sweep of Oscars and all four hobbits attended...
Why was Billy Crystal playing Legolas? My immaculate, god-like vision of Leggy is now ruined.

Just another quick note, I have to add.
I hate it when people do that 'snorty' thing when they have a cold. It is mortally disgusting and irritates me when it resonates behind my head every three minutes. I just want to throttle them...or at least give them a tissue and order them to 'Blow!'
Am v. weird today.

God damn you Em! Though tis funny, it was still very weird cept for the Rosie O'Donnel bit. Haven't seen her since 'Harriet the Spy'. I hated that movie, especially coz of that Dawnie girl.
Sitting in the library at the moment musing over all the e-mails Ames which were sent late last night and now early this morning. They are a bit garbled and it seems like she spent a lot of time wondering how to spell 'can' while actually spelling it. *sigh* Sister offered to do a 'drinking-trial' with me before I head off to the GOld Coast at the end of the year. Was thinking how funny it would be if could build up a sobriety to drink and then watch my friend get drunk. And then maybe someone could 'truthfully' answer my question, "Who would you have sex with?"
Oh will she shut up? Librarian lady behind me, who just decides to come up during all my spares and 'brainwash' the Year 7's into 'reading' her fricking books. Just heard,
"I know that a lot of you have seen and liked the lord of the rings movies but have any of you taken the time to read the books?". Ignorant slut, bet she hasn't picked them up.
There are so many weird people at this school. I mean, we have are rich fair of snobs, bitches, moodies (I am one!), crawlers, snivellers, grovellers, even more bitches, pseudo-bitches, perverts and definite weirdos. Oh crap, I almost forgot about the plethora of geeks. (I don't pick on nerds. I have respect for them.)
Now the weirdos, I've picked up three loners. There's J, I won't say her name coz that's mean, but she pisses teh shit off me. (ARgh! Side note: Just heard the librarian bitch say to Year 7's "Wings of the dove, which is a motion picture, I'm sure you've seen..." WHAT? Has she not seen the movie? There are really, really blatant sex scenes in that movie. They are year 7's! Sure they talk about it, but c'mon...I bet they're more scared of it than meeting a bear.) Anyhoo, there's J...who hangs aroudn the library all the time...doing nothing...just hanging and talkign to teachers all day. No friends. Has really skanky, greasy hair and always looks at me when I come into the library. Get a life.
Second, there's fuzzy girl who got her hair cut short this year but last year...woah, it was like walkign down the hall and rolling away when she came unless her 'bush' came and dragged you off your feet. Scary shit man. Found her and J waiting outside library twenty minutes before it opened...in the morning. Dork-a-reenos.
And finally DCS, who I have to see today...for third and fourth and I am NOT looking forward to it. She always takes our seats and we have to split (Jen, Step, me and Sarah) and sit around her. Want to slap her sometimes, she's so stupid. SHe asks a question...and then has to re-ask it coz she wasn't listening or didn't understand its answer. So embarassing...
Enough bitch...not its not even bitching because hey, this is common observation about the people who inhabit this 'bitch' of a school.
More later. Have to get back to Psych notes. *snorts* Am nerd!!
~ M.M.W ~
PS: Had a dream last night. Was tre weird. Mix of Lantana, Ghost World and 'Let them eat cake'. Did Marie ANtoinette really say that?
PPS: Forgot what was going to say, and funilly enough am studying (and writing notes) for forgetting in cog psych. Funny, funny, funny. Damn...will edit later. Remember then.
