Cooke for the first time in the kitchen before I went out yesterday- made tomato and butterbean soup. My mum says I need a meat meal cos I told her I'm going to cook veggie pasta tonight. At the moment can't be bothered to cook anything. Last night was quite boring to be honest. The bencraft party was half dead, no-one danced, and my flatmates left. Talked to a few people i'd met the night before and one boy who only arrived yesterday. Managed a more interesting conversation tha the usual what are you studying, where do you come from etc. After he left it just got emptier and emptier so I ended up leaving at bout 11, so at least I got a good nights sleep!

Today we all went into campus to register with a doctors and stood in a queue for AGES to not get my freshers tickets :( Will try again tomorrow.

Tonight seems abit up in the air, with everyone giving different info. Theres a comedy night on at the union which some people say u need tickets for, but some say you can pay on the door. And the times keep changing. Then some people are going to a club after that. Most of my flatmates didn't get in til about 7 this morning so some people don't want to come out at all. May end up not going out so I don't end up with hardcore partyers! Would like to go to the comedy night, tho i've never heard of any of the comedians.

HP and the HBP

2009-09-06T13:51:00Z

We went to see HP on Friday and I liked it, tho I don't think it was better than the book. The romantic bits were so much better than in the book, and they kept Hermione's birds which I always enjoy! Probably because of all those bits it was more of a comedy film for most of the middle- and it was good comedy but you did kind of forget the looming threat of Voldemort that the book had. Well, until the end anyway. The Inferi were scary! But I did miss the big fight after Dumbledore was killed with the DA and the Order of the Phoenix - cos noone other than Harry seemed to do anything in the film. Still the end was good, and I liked how the whole school raised their wands and it got rid of the Dark Mark- that was sweet.

I need some more icons, specifically Harry Potter ones!

At the moment I'm trying to clear some space on my bookshelves as I'm getting to the 'piles on any free surface stage' and so I'm trying to figure out which books I can give to the charity shop. It's harder than you'd think!

My grandma is the best! I got home and she'd sent me one hundred pounds!!! Apparently for any unexpected expenses when I get to uni. Isn't she lovely?! I think I'm going to save it for books/freshers tickets if they're expensive, although I am tempted to go on another shopping spree. ;)

Also today my bank sent me my debit card, but not my chequebook. Which is the one that I need! I have to send money to southampton and pay money into another account, which I can't do. Still!

I'm looking forward to (hopefully) seeing Harry Potter tomorrow, finally, cos I've heard good things about it.

Scrupulous

You are an honest, fair person. You don't lie or cheat to get ahead. You treat others with respect and hope for the same in return.

You do not feel that you are above the rules that everyone else follows; you are definitely not willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead.

Cooperative

You enjoy teamwork, play well with others, and prefer getting along to winning.

You're not compelled to win every contest nor to be right all the time.

Understanding

You are willing to take the time to find out what's going on with other people, especially if they're in distress. You're a good listener, you don't criticize, and you offer unbiased, respectful, honest advice when it's requested.

You don't feel the need to impose your standards on others or say things that, even though true, cause pain.

With a high score on the "understanding" trait, it is likely that you are enthusiastic about charitable work, helping others, and making the world a better place.

Responsible

You fulfill your obligations and responsibilities, are true to your word, and generally obey the rules.

You're opposed to making hasty decisions, you don't insist that you're above the rules, nor do you feel compelled to color outside the lines.

While the majority of those who have a high score on the "responsible" trait enjoy traveling, they are usually very happy to return home — and don’t mind staying put for a while.

Sympathetic

You have a knack for knowing what's going on in the hearts and minds of those around you, without their having to tell you explicitly. People tend to turn to you with their problems because they know you care, and that you will likely offer good advice and a helping hand.

You do not feel that people with sad stories are just looking for attention, or have brought their problems upon themselves.

Acquiescent

You are comfortable in your own skin and don't need to throw your weight around. You'll often choose to be the one who is told what to do rather than the one who's doing the telling, and you sometimes avoid confrontations even if it means that you won't get your way.

You aren't interested in making others bend to your will or in always dishing out criticism. You're not a pushy person, and you like it that way.

Upbeat

You enjoy being around others and others enjoy being around you. You have a "live and let live" attitude; because you know that no one's perfect, you are forgiving and happy to give the benefit of the doubt.

You don't feel the need to be controversial or express contrary opinions all the time. You see no reason to go around rubbing people the wrong way.

Organized

You like to think a task through before you embark on it. If it's the slightest bit complicated, you make a list (even if it's only in your mind) and methodically work your way through it. When you have a goal in mind, you're not satisfied until you reach it.

You are not one of those people who ignore the details, and you don't understand how anyone can get anything accomplished without thoughtful planning ahead of time.

Unflappable

You are not a slave to your emotions. It takes a lot to upset or unnerve you. That's why you're a good person to have around in a crisis.

You don't let it all hang out, which means that those around you often don't know the pressures you're under or what you're going through. You're not the kind of person people run from in a crisis.

Reserved

You are somewhat shy, or at least unwilling to spend all your time socializing. With you it's true that "still waters run deep," which is why many of your acquaintances never get to know you well.

You are not always ready to talk at the drop of a hat. Whether you're in the office or at a party, you're not likely to be found gabbing away in the middle of a group of people.

eeeeeeeee broadband!

2009-03-12T20:24:28Z

I'm posting from my house! And I'm not carefully counting the minutes! We have broadband! *bounces* Internet Exploer still won't work (it says that "access is denied by the access control list" or something like that anyway), but Elliot had Firefox on a disc he got from a games mag sooo we have firefox. Tabs and stuff! I like : ) I may have scared my mum tho' - sarted describing it and she was like so I'm going to have to learn how to use this new thing? Not good. But really, it's not hard to use- I figured it out!

I did the personality test from Li's lj:

<a href="http://www.outofservice.com/bigfive/results/?oR=0.475&cR=0.722&eR=0.344&aR=0.806&nR=0.5">I'm a O7-C74-E15-A79-N43 Big Five!!</a>

( Edited: Meh, the html doesn't turn into a link, anyone know how to fix? The site just said to copy and paste and I did! :( I am so not computer literate)

I'm miffed that they reckon i'm close-minded! I like to go to new places, doesn't that count? Still, it is quite accurate seeing as I also couldn't decide if i am calm or nervous.

Hi Suzal! And Li, when you get home and read this! (again after writing it!) Look, I'm finally updating! I am amazing. (thankyou) Despite having forgotten what my Livejournal looks like and being incapable of punctuating, properly or otherwise. Moo ha ha, I - as in Ali - have run out of things to say in my brackets.

I'm updating, cos I did the quiz from Li and I really don't think it's me. What do you think? I should be doing Geography right now but I got slightly diverted. I'm three quarters done anyway.

I really need more icons.

So, I was going to do a HUGE post about west wing, but I’m too lazy, so I will just say the following: OMG Toby! Why? And would he really do that? And, just randomly - I want Donna back. And Danny!

Now I will revise. Maths is stupid.

Meme

2007-01-27T19:11:33Z

Something I got from Li:

Leave a comment here and I'll:

1. Tell you why I friended you
2. Associate you with a song/movie
3. Tell a random fact about you
4. Tell a first memory about you
5. Associate you with an animal/fruit
6. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you
7. In response, you MUST spread this disease in your LJ

And to answer Li's question: It's just me and my dislike of too much noise. Also the fact that I feel bad if someone's trying to say something and not being heard.

Whu Duncan is evil!!

2007-01-21T13:35:44Z

It’s not any of the memes I promised I’d do but it’s still an update! A very important one that Li should read and agree with!

Why Duncan is evil!

1. He ignored V for a year.
2. He got all jealous over Troy.
3. He didn’t break up with her properly- just started ignoring her.
4. He didn’t tell her that she was his sister, when he thought she was.
5. He raped her.
6. Super Stalker!

I’m sure there’s more I just can’t think of them at the moment.

And this is a blogthing I got from Gina:

You Should Paint Your Room Yellow

Bright and bold, yellow is truly the color of inspiration.
Your yellow room will drive you to think clearly, develop new ideas, and be organized.
Yellow is also energizing and very powerful. So don't expect to rest in there!

What Color Should You Paint Your Room?

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

Last Saturday I gave zee_the_wolf a life-saving blood transfusion (50 points). In January I helped gingersuzal hide a body (-173 points). In August I gave change to a homeless guy (19 points). Last Monday I pulled over and changed milliethepotter's flat tire (15 points). In September I bought porn for gina9_5 (-10 points).

Overall, I've been naughty (-99 points). For Christmas I deserve a moldy sandwich!

Sincerely,
alsi_o

Gina sent me a "livejournal nudge" so i decided to post. I watched a Veronica Mars eposodes 10 and 11 today. 11 was so sad... I also have Studio 60 to watch now!

Need VM icons!

Hey, it’s me! I’m actually on LJ! And I’ve changed my layout- it all purple and pretty. Exams have finished- yay! *bounces on chair* Well really they finished yesterday for me, but I was too lazy to update. I did try to make the linky thing work for my icons but it STILL doesn’t work, and I’m sure I got it right. *sigh*

I finally watched the Doctor Who from last weekend and it was good, but the end creeped me out. It was kinda freaky him being in love with half a face that’s stuck to a stone slab.

alsi_o @ 2006-01-09T20:25:00

Reply to this post, and I'll tell you one reason why I like/love/adore you. Then put this in your own journal, and spread the love.

My Mum is a teacher. That might be pretty obvious to everyone, but it is really apparent when she moans at my brother for not sticking sheets into his books. It is one of the most teacherish things she could do!

City of Flowers

2005-11-26T16:47:38Z

We went to the vets, with Millie, today. She didn’t enjoy it much- she had an injection. When we came out though we saw a mini Millie! She was sooo small and cute, and totally hyper.

I finished reading The City of Flowers today. It was really good although at one point I was totally going to kill Nick/Falco. I actually felt sorry for the Duke and some of the di Chimici at parts.

Harry Potter

2005-11-22T20:06:11Z

Today I had my first Physics lesson, supposedly, with Mrs. Jones. She was away *cheers* so we had lots, and lots of notes. Kind of deja vu from Mrs Caulfield’s lessons really.

I spent most of today persuading Li that I did NOT want to go and see Harry Potter again (just in case you’re reading this Li: I’ve already seen it- don’t wanna see it again). I saw it on Saturday and, yes, it was good, but not good enough to warrant seeing again in such a short time. They condensed it so much that you had a lot of action and not much explanation. For instance, WHY did Barty Crouch (Senior) die? Who killed him? Anyone who has only seen the film will not know why and who. Percy didn’t appear in the film- there was no mention of Barty (Snr) being under the Imperius Curse, Winky doesn’t exist in HP film world and neither does SPEW (tch). The second challenge was good; as was the Yule Ball and I liked Hermione’s line- “I’m not an owl” (in context it sounds less weird!).

Poor Josh! pats head

2005-11-12T10:22:41Z

I watched Noel last night and spent most of the episode oh Josh-ing. It was a really good episode, but poor Josh *pats head*. The way it changed from flashback to now was very well done and I liked the little story that Leo told near the end, it was sweet! Shouting-Josh is scary and worrying though- he’s not normally like that.

My Mum has a palm top from work! And all the children in Years 5 and 6 have one. It is SO not fair! They’ll all break them at that school anyway. TCH!

Lost

2005-10-23T15:17:48Z

Holidays!!!!!!!!!!! But wet. I’ve done the titchiest bit of homework possible and have watched all Lost, House and Stargate that I’ve got taped from the week. I also finished all the West wing DVDs that I borrowed from Jo. Cliff-hangers at the end of DVDs are NOT appreciated.

I’m hoping that I can watch “Hearts and Minds” tonight although I’m not looking forward to the Shannon/Sayid-ness. Meh! I discovered how to burn CDs or DVDs on my computer. I probably won’t ever use it but it’s nice to know how.

West wing and stuff

2005-10-16T18:22:42Z

I’ve had quite a good weekend. On Saturday I went to see Wallace and Gromit which was good and I went shopping which, though I bought hardly anything, was productive- I’m organised- I have an Xmas pressie and ideas! I went to Jo’s house after which was fun- we watched the Siege pt2 (everett’s is FREAKY), talked to Li on MSN (and her drop hints that I should get it) and went on the Net. We also ate lots of chocolate raisins! :)

Today I watched lots of West Wing and did homework (ick). Cuddy’s a hooker! The President has Vicodin for his back!!!!! Am loving the little House references, even if it was made like 6 years ago.

Avalon

2005-10-12T19:09:11Z

Just watched Avalon. It was OK, I don’t like Landry and might like Mitchell a bit, although WTH was with that squealy thing he did near the end? Vala was surprising- I was expecting her to be more incredibly annoying but she’s amusing, you just have to ignore her tendency to dress like a Tok’ra. Daniel has grown a BEARD!!!! Tis very wrong.

Little message to Jo (my e-mail’s kinda icky): West Wing please!

New PC!!!!!!!!!!

2005-10-07T19:30:20Z

I’m updating again! And I’m going to try to update once a week (although that probably won’t happen).

I got a new computer the other week, that can do stuff! And it has a Media Player so if anyone could give me some sites to download music from that would be great. I also have Word and all of that stuff that that the rest of the country takes for granted. The only thing that hasn’t changed is my titchy internet time! Also our keyboard is STUPID- I have to re-type stuff sooo much (and it's not my bad typing!).

I just finished watching Babies and Bathwater (is that the right one?) it was good but House’s dream was kinda freaky!
