neverwhereIt's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good...
Name: Nevvie
Event of the year: Spending an entire summer with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
eyre_lasgalen and wreibyn, the best friends a girl could ever have.
I've learned: Friendship is the best magick.
Biggest milestone: I have no idea. :)
Actually, I think it might be getting this LiveJournal. I've made more friends through LJ than I have in a very long time. Great friends, liketrianne and shortypenguin, and my soulmate trukkle. I've rediscovered old friends, met some incredible people, and I'm meeting more wonderful people every day. I never would have believed that this could have happened, but I'm so glad it did. And to think I purposefully didn't join for ages, just because I didn't want to be 'trendy'. Silly Nevvie. :) *hugs all her amazing friends* :)
Biggest discovery: That I am loved.
Biggest regret: My time with Eyre and Kara was so short. Also that I have not miraculously gained self confidence. Drat.
Biggest learning experience: Trying to sing and dance when my microphone had fallen off my head and down into my underwear. No, it really wasn't funny. Stop laughing dammit. :-P
Biggest waste of time: Trying to buy cinema tickets on the phone. 'No, I do not want to see a film in Bradford, I said Epsom, dammit, EPSOM!!!' 'We're sorry, but there are no more seats for your cinema in Bradford.' 'Arrgghhhh!'
Most embarrassing moment: See above. *cringe*
Funniest moment: Any time spent with Eyre and Kara. We're a gaggle of giggly girlies. ;-)
Four most revolting people: DieBitchDie!, the Psycho Hose Beast, anyone who crowds me on the train (because they usually smell and/or are playing obnoxious music so loudly my eardrums explode), my reclusive neighbours who glare at me whenever they're outside and put their rubbish on my front lawn. Grrr. Did I mention DieBitchDie? Oh, so I did. That would have been 5 people anyway. *G*
Best memory: CANADA DAY!
Best TV Show: I'm going to assume this means shows with new episodes: Stargate SG-1, Buffy, The Simpsons, Scrubs, X-Men: Evolution, Powerpuff Girls
Best Movie: FOTRFOTRFOTRFOTR (you mean there are other films?)
Best advertisement: 'Thank you, Mr Foot Long Hot Dog Inventor!' ('Soaring free...') *laughs*
Best deed: I don't know. Caring for my friends I suppose. I don't think I've done anything particularly wonderful this year.
Best part of school/work: Singing!
Best deed anyone has done for you: Being an understanding, compassionate friend.
Worst memory: Every time I cried from loneliness.
Worst TV Show: I'd say Jackass, except I don't have MTV so I never watched it (thank god). Jerry Springer's pretty awful. :)
Worst Movie: I don't waste money to see a crap film at the cinema. I did watch about a half hour of the charmingly inept film Piranha! though, that was both terrible and highly amusing.
Worst advertisement: Anything using a plastic woman with inflatable boobs to sell a product.
Worst deed: Not speaking to my father for months.
Worst part of school/work: Waking up at 5am and the 3 hour commute! ARRGHH!!
Five most important characteristics for a spouse: Clever, witty, playful, adoring, gentle.
Realistic career hope: That I'll be poor and destitute, wah hey!
Unrealistic career hope: Becoming a famous Shakespearean actress (hahahahaha)
Plans for future: Actually make a decision for once in my life. Maybe move to New Zealand.
Two things you will never do: Vote for a Right-Wing politician and have kids.
One thing you would teach your children: If I had them, I'd teach them to love learning and not to be afraid of people and things that are different than you.
It's a new day
It's a new life for me

He has a hologramatic device that gives him a 'normal' appearance so he can still live a regular life without fear of being persecuted as a 'daemon'. If anyone were to touch him though, they'd feel that he has fur, only three fingers, and pointy ears. Oh, and a tail. *grins*
Here's Kurt as he really looks:

(Not the most flattering picture, but it's all I could find on short notice)
And here's Kurt with his holowatch on (although it's going on the fritz again), doing a funky dance! Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute! :D

Date: 2003-01-02 03:23 am (UTC)He's a character (the main character ;-) on X-Men: Evolution, which is now in it's third series. Nightcrawler has been in the X-men comics since the 1960's, but you're right, he's NEVER been this cuuuuuuuuute. Mmmmmm. So cute. *giggles*

Date: 2003-01-02 04:26 am (UTC)I haven't been able to see X-Men:Evolution (or, infact, anything else) since we got rid of the TV last year. May i should get it back.
Anyway hello if i haven't said hello before, although i might have done i can't remember...
Thought i'd add you to my friends list as you seemed quite cool. :)
Re: nightcrawler
Date: 2003-01-02 10:02 am (UTC)Hiya!
I am exceedingly cool, thank you so much for noticing! *grins and winks playfully*
Kinda cute? Ohhh he's gorgeous! He has the sweetest, most adorable expressions in the world, and is so shy and kind and silllyyyyy...*le sigh* Why can't real men be as perfect as fictional ones? *giggles*

Canada Day!
Date: 2003-01-01 09:30 pm (UTC)This whole year would have been nothing but shit if it weren't for you. You do realise that, don't you Nevvie? Without going to England, the only eventful part of my year would have been the deaths of my grandparents. I would have nothing good to reflect on.
Thanks for everything!
Re: Canada Day!
Date: 2003-01-01 09:40 pm (UTC)My whole life would be meaningless without you. You give me strength and make life worth living. I can't even begin to repay you and Kara for all the love and companionship you have given me.
I'm glad I can give you something to be happy about Aly. I love you so much. *hugs you tight*

Somehow I thought you would find that highly amusing. :-P
It was such a nightmare! I had to keep singing and dance the charleston while it was sliding down my pants, and then it hit the floor! Every movement was followed by the *crashthud* of the battery as it banged on the stage. I don't think I will ever get over the shame. *laughs*

I remember when that happened!!!!!! *snort* i was laughing then, and i'm laughing now.. mwahahahahahaha!!!
the best part was when you actually were walking off the stage all hunched over trying to grab the mic which had come out the bottom of your pant leg and you were pulling up on that and riding your pants up and trying to run at the same time!! *ROTFLMAO*
*muffles laughter in pillow*
it's no use!!!
BAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!
meanwhile, back at the ranch....

Why hello, strange person whom I've seen on many other people's friends list. *G*
I both like and loathe JS -- I find it disturbing, amusing, and tedious. I can't wait to see Jerry Springer: The Opera though. *grins*

Children and me just do not mix.

Date: 2003-01-02 12:36 pm (UTC)Oh dear lord, whoever invented automaed booking should die. I've managed to star pronouncing 'Leicester' so that the Odeon phone line doesn't think I want Luton but try booking anywhere else... no chance. The only time I ever sopke to a human I was on hold for 10 minutes listening to Kylie frikkin' Minogue and then half way through the call they cut me off! *ahem* Ok, rant over.
'Biggest learning experience: Trying to sing and dance when my microphone had fallen off my head and down into my underwear. No, it really wasn't funny. Stop laughing dammit. :-P'
Slightly puzzled... how dd it get from your head to your underwear?...I'm afraid it's still funny though!
no subject
Date: 2003-01-02 01:03 pm (UTC)S'not funny. *sulk* :-P
It was a radio mic, the kind that wraps around your head and over your ear, with the mic close to your mouth (its what everyone uses in professional theatre nowadays) and the battery back clips on to your underwear. My battery had fallen off and was slowly making its way down my pants during one song, which dragged my mic off my head as well. By the time I had started the second (and thankfully final song before I could go offstage) the pack was on the floor (and making an incredible amount of embaressing noise) and my mic was caught in the bottom of hair. NOT a pleasant experience. :)
Suddenly it's all so clear!
Date: 2003-01-02 01:14 pm (UTC)At my youth theatre production, we had really awful mics that we had to stick on with masking tape (or plasters when that ran our, which it did) Mine broke and they didn't have any replacements so I had to keep swapping with another girl.It was dark in the wings obviously and whoever was sorting us out ripped out a clump of my hair. Nice.
