Meep! I've missed another day. I have a legitimate reason! There was a math test I was studying for. And, if you've seen me flail/ fail in math, you'll know why the revision was urgently required. But I'll still be doing a video to make up. That's... four non-vlog videos to do. Maybe I'll do cooking or something. Post midnight, usually.

I'm listening to One Year Later by daniellesmagic, and I keep thinking it sounds like a spring awakening song. The tone (heh not talking music here) of the lyrics is also similar to that of SA songs, and this is a good thing! Because I haven't been able to find Duncan Shiek-sounding music yet. My brain is ridiculously capable of doing only one thing at a time, so I can only either listen to the lyrics or the music at any time. The lyrics are great! I want her cd. Go look up daniellesmagic, if you haven't already! She has really good originals.

Speaking of spring awakening, I received their email on summer tour dates, and then one of show is in Boston around the time of leakycon! *envy* It's playing April 28th to May 24th at Boston's Colonial Theatre. And leakycon is from may 21st to 24th. I bet the people on the forums are already making plans to see it! Watching it with a group of like-minded people would be awesome, and then you could discuss it later. Like the time I watched wicked and got to talk to my friends about it straight after, and my friend had bought the cd and I bought the program, and we were just swopping them around after the trip. (yes we are cash-strapped students!)

And. Oh yes. The tickets to see John Green in melbourne were sold out yesterday D: Not that I could ever go, but at least john green will be in the southern hemisphere? And Neil Gaiman also did a signing in melbourne. I was sneakily thinking of asking pooky (friend who lives in melbourne) to do me a humongous favor and go for the event for me, but the tickets were all booked so quickly! And I didn't know there were so many nerdfighters in melbourne/ australia! How shall I stalk them? (So that, if I ever go to melbourne, I could find them and ambush them outside their house or something.) The Ning would be a good place to start.

And about australian fans, I didn't know there were people living there who were interested to fly to the states for Harry Potter cons! I remember reading it somewhere; not sure which forum it was on. I mean the flight is longer and more expensive than if someone were to fly to the states from singapore-- their desire to go to a con, and actually GO is amazing. It's like saying to mugglecast/ pottercast/ other famous people : "Look what your fans DO for you! Talk about dedication." But they'll probably go to the states for a holiday and do things like a spring awakening show and to sightsee/tour, and not go just for the con. But still. Think of the munny ): But of course a con experience is priceless.

And I've noticed that I've been using too many explanation marks and being overly enthusiastic and fangirly. Can I help that I am naturally full of pep? (Though honestly, if you were to meet me in person, "pep" would be the last thing you would associate with me. All the pep is in my head, in a bid to avoid being associated with "insanity".) I talk to myself occasionally, and I'm also known as a "nutter".

Back to exclamation marks. Do you notice, when reading archie comics, that every sentence ends with either an exclamation mark or a question mark? It's like the characters are incapable of having moderate emotions. And reading Wuthering Heights makes me feel as if the characters are made of exclamation marks, but the exclamation mark to full stop ratio is at least more than 1:0.
Thankfully not all graphic novels are written like archie comics.
