So tonight's the concert for damn stupid SUESS (Sydney Uni Ecclectic Singing Society, which my friend started, and roped me into joining, despite the fact that I really am not a choir person, and tend to get ragey).

I know this is horendously late notice, but you are, of course, all invited. Given how terrible a mood SUESS tends to put me in, it'd be nice to see some people that I don't associate with wanting to hit things, so not only are you invited, you'd be very very welcome. Moral support is nice. It's in the big room at Old Darlington School, at 7:30.

Putting aside my weird rage issues for the moment, I'm a bit hesitant about this thing. My back can't really take standing still and trying to reach high notes at the same time, so that makes things hard and painful, and means that my friend the conductor gives me "smile, damn you! and hold your folder properly!" looks, while all I can manage is small grimaces of pain with one hand holding my lower back in a vain attempt at providing some support. And the having to wear certain clothes just puts me in mind of school band, which leads to some very unpleasant memories (our school band teacher was a dreadful bitch, and sucked the joy out of everything she touched. Also, she was bad at the whole, actually teaching kids to play and read music thing). And, because I missed three weeks due to sickness and essays, and because I have no access to sheetmusic, I'm not doing a solo, which leads to inferiority issues, and, ugh. I really don't want to go.

Waaaaaaaaah, I'm calling my Mum to whinge.


ETA: Okay, bitching on the phone to your Mum and sister does wonders for being pissed off. I'm in a good mood now, so yay!

And I look fecking hot in black, yo. And slacks? Actually make my bum look good. hells yeah.

Oh man would I love to come. Unfortunately, I'm writing a second set of programme notes for the SUMS concert last week as part of an essay due in two days. I have roughly 200 of the 1500 required words down. I will likely plagiarise sections of my own work from the first set of programme notes I wrote (though they were only 400 words). This is, officially, the weirdest assignment I will ever have completed.

Hopefully though, to make up for my not coming at all this semester, I will be there A LOT next semester.

Aw, that's okay, honey! It was, as I said, hugely late notice, so I wasn't really expecting anything and am not bothered. Mostly just wanted to have a bit of a sook in public (which turned out to be unnecesary in the end - the concert went well and I didn't have any murderous thoughts! You see, go into things with the lowest possible expectations, and you'll always be pleasantly surprised). And besides, I didn't come to your concert either (which I am very sorry about - I really wanted to go, but just didn't get myself organised in time. We've hit that time in semester where I tend to do that sort of thing, unfortunately), so we're probably even.

But then... I didn't come to your last thing either. Okay, we need to actually organise to do something at some point or else we may never see eachother again at this rate.

Oh god it would be so good to have you there next semester. DAVID!

WE CAN DO A DUET! AND YOU CAN HELP KEEP ME SANE! AND DAVID TIME YAY!

This is my "you are a very silly boy" face.





(And there is no way I am posting a picture of looking good in slacks, so nya! But, because I am a closet camera whore (runs in the family, although the others are far more obvious about it) and playing with the webcam thingamy is fun, have a bonus "why are the only good pictures OF me also taken BY me?" picture.



WHAT THE HELL? I NEVER LOOK THIS GOOD ON CAMERA!)

...i have to say, i'm honestly impressed by your dedication to closing parentheses. i was going to make fun of the fact that you opened one, then used a set inside there and never finished the originals... then you dropped one in at the end. gd

also, you weren't kidding; also also, that actually is a pretty spot-on face

Parentheses, once opened, should always be closed. This is the order by which I live my life. *nods sagely* ... also, I used to tell my history/geography teacher everytime she didn't close hers (which happened constantly, you would not even believe), so me not doing it would make me a hypocrit. Which is a word that I'm sure I'm not spelling right.

Why thankyou, good sir. *preens*

ahaha yeah, you're missing an e on the end. close, though; a mate had "hypocrasy" in his msn name for a month and i didn't have the heart to go all pedantic on his ass. (true story: back in highschool, a friend nicknamed me the "grammar hammer" because when i got bored in class or people misused apostrophes [or both!] i'd correct people's emails)

you're welcome, ma'am.

Damn those e's! There's always something. I still can't spell tercery teircacy terciary tertiary, you know. I had to look it up to even know there was a t in it. Haven't been able to spell it since I first heard it in highschool. And I still can't get it right, despite the fact that I now actually attend a tertiary institution! Grammar I can usually handle, but spelling sometimes just escapes me. Which is why I like corrections; when I've done something wrong, I normally know it and am bothered by it, just don't know how it was wrong and can't be arsed looking it up. XD

Ohmygod the grammar hammer is the best nickname ever! You makin' grammar badass. In an incredibly dorky way. There are so many occasions when I wish I could send people's messages back to them covered in red pen, but I don't have the heart a lot of the time. Just sort of growl silently to myself. I salute you, compadre.
