Hey!

OMG
Im going to die
my current favourite video
Troublemaker by Arashi
which was exxxxtreeeemely hard to find online
was just removed from the only website I had found that actually streamed the video

This is so unfair
I hate you internet people
although this site does tend to go down alot maybe it will be back up tomorrow??
or the day after??
I cant live without it!!
also its the only website that plays rescue by KAT TUN as well
what am i going to do if that also disappears??


EEEEHHHHHH
Im losing my faith in the internet

Ouch!

Today I thought it would be intelligent to fall down a flight of stairs outside the uni rec centre

Dont be fooled i was not going to the gym

I was walking to town

I did a 180 as I fell hitting the right side of my face on railings that originated on my left

I have bruised both my shins as well its rather painful especially if i sit down for a while when they have to move again they get stiff

I wont be able to walk tomorrow morning for a while :)

anyway here are the photos of my shins

The bruising isnt apparent but it extends much further than the grazed area

i actually have a completely straight red mark up the right side of my face where i hit the pole but thats fading although the area that got hit hardest has bruised somewhat

i suppose we'll see in the morning as i will probably look and feel like death

anyway

see you later

20 May

Havent been up to much lately thanks to assignments

Last holidays I went home and received my Duke of Edinburughs Hilary Award

It was a lovely short ceremony in which I got a photo with the governer general of New Zealand

We also met Lady Hilary

she was a lovely lady, very nice

we managed to get this photo with her

Today I received a necklace as a congratulations gift:

Its very pretty I love it

I found these pretty little asian chocoloates they other day

they taste really good and are only 2.99!

My Sisters Keeper

I have finally been able to see this movie
having read nearly all Jodi Picoults books

It was one of those movies that followed the book
mostly
from having read it a long time ago it seemed to follow well
although the finer details have been lost to my memory
I did however notice a large deviation from the plot

Part of the magic of Jodi Picoults books is the twists and turns she creates making you always mistrust your own predictions

Considering how Anna was made to donate to Kate and would not have been born otherwise it makes her an odd part of her family. to her mother she is only there to save Kate although her father brother and sister dont see her that way

The part of the story where Anna dies(goes into a coma from a car crash) and the decision is made to give her organs to Kate helps to write off that feeling of not belonging created by the story
and although it is cruel it does invoke the question of ethics and provokes the idea of because she was a "designer baby" she was unnatural and because her genetics were too similar to Kates they were connected and her existance hindered Kate
It also provides the solution to Sara's fantasy

with Kate dying in the movie it just follows the normal format of hollywood and doesnt challenge the viewer to rethink their own view of ethics and their own views on "designer babies" and playing god with nature as that is theoretically what Sara was doing. the movie does not address this question which the book does

However aside from the pretty little neat ending of hollywood
and its inability to draw any intense reaction from me
It was a good movie and is worth a watch from Jodi Picoult readers and everybody else
