Okay. As some of you who know me well may be aware, I am a huge Star Wars fan. Not quite to the extent to some of those I've met, but the Origianl Trilogy is without doubt my favourite lot of movies (and I will not get into a "which is the best one" debate right now). And you have probably noticed I have been rather...excited about the forthcoming Episode Three release.

Well, excited no longer applies, because I HAVE TICKETS FOR THE MIDNIGHT PREMIERE!!!!!

I will actually at a big huge midnight movie opening thing! And, even better, it's a Star Wars movie opening thing.I am beyond words!

After discussion with lena_supercat, and neo_leviathan, I managed to book 8 tickets for the Midnight opening at Hoyts in the City. So all Second Floorians take note: That leaves another 5 tickets without owners. Anyone willing to pay me the $12.50 before Thursday can have one. You'll just have to come find me in the crowd on that evening.

But I will be there. And I will quite possibly die of excitement.

More arrangements will be made whenever I show up on Second Floor and find people.

In honour of this grand event, today's post has been sponsered by the Dark Side, and thus is filled with all things either evil or Star Wars related. Or both.

Firstly: The reaseon I have posted for a while is because of the pure, unadultered evil that is StarNet. The damnable bloody system got a freaking VIRUS, and because of it my entire college was cut off from the internet for the last few days. Which was an utter torment, I assure you. Talk about Dark Side...

Also, a note to my Literature Tutor: it is really hard for us to learn anything if you don't actually turn up to the classes you are supposed to be teaching

My current fave on the links list has been updated to Darth Vader's Blog. It happens to be both highly amusing, and at times oddly touching, and I thought it seemed the perfect thing to add.

Random Psych Quotes (Thursday):
Dr. Visser - "How ironic was that?"
Random Woman - "Very."
Dr. Visser - "Thank you."
Which was made all the more amusing by the fact he started saying the words to Isn't it Ironic. Not singing - saying them. In a very deadpan voice.

"The burning question all of you have on your mind right now is who's going to be eliminated on The Amazing Race tonight."

And to continue todays theme, all the diagrams accompanying the information contained pictures of Star Wars characters. There was Yoda, "It's a Teeny Tiny Yoda!"; Obi-Wan, "I just like saying Mini Obi-Wan Kenobi"; Vader, "This time we've gone to the Dark Side,"; and finally, "We have another famous Jedi," which was a picture of himself.

I love my Psych lecturer.


The best thing in a lecture ever: For no reason whatsoever, I picture of George W Bush showed up on the screen halfway through the lecture. The caption - "Comic Relief"

Random Quotes from FAS/FOUL/CHAS today:
"Are you volunteering to be impregnated"

"We'll trade semen for a treasurer!"

"Darren, I'm calling you from the FAS AGM because you've been nominated for treasurer."
Yes, they desperately wanted a treasurer. They evn tried to get me to do it, which shows the depths of their desperation.

Random Question:
In two weeks time (May 28th) I will be having my 19th birthday. I would like to do something fun for it, with lots of people, especially because my 18th was a bit pathetic. However, I have no idea what to do. Any suggestions?

Well done on getting the tickets - but watch out for the real fanatics - the ones that have lumbered out of their caves to see the premiere before crawling back to complain about the movie. I think they'll be wearing cloaks.

StarNet? - sounds like they're planning to build a few T-1000 robots...

And as for your birthday - you could go out prior to seeing Star Wars and call it your birthday. After all, I know someone who plans to have their 18th in July, and their birthday's not really until late October. As for other options - you could try DarkZone, but you might be sharing it with 10 year olds.

Charade. Really, it's fun. A couple of years ago we did that on New Year's, and it was fun. First, split up the guests in two groups, and let them think of a couple of good words (it's even more fun if you think of the words yourself).

It even works when you have people who usually don't do stuff together. This New Year's party had all kinds of different people - there was my friend's mum, one of our teachers, a couple of guys from the theatre group at school, the weird kids (me and my friends), someone from the school band...

Yes, and apart from that, I have no idea how to make your party a big success.

Meh, fanatics. Some of them really frighten me. But I am planning on enjoying this, so they won't put me off.

StarNet is in charge of my college's internet - it's a new system, so it tends to get a few complaints.

Hmmmm...I can't be stuffed going out to Dark Zone again, but maybe I will go to the movies or something for my birthday. Just not the midnight session, because I want to enjoy that on it's own.

Charades? It sounds like one of those things you'd do after you've had a few drinks.

Which is fun, but I don't a venue or anything else quite yet.

You could try going on the dining tram - like in that episode of Kath and Kim...

As for real answers - I'll try and think of something, if I can.

The thing is, it has to be easily accessable, not too expensive, hold a group of people who's number is as of yet uncertain, and most of all fun.

And I have no idea about Melbourne.

Well, just for a headsup since you don't seem to have anything formal planned for the 28th yet, quite a few 2nd floorers I expect to be at nearlyalegume's 21st, and some more might be at marshall_1977's party too.

Which is not to imply that you don't have other friends because I'm quite sure you do. Just that if you want to maximise attendance at whatever you plan it may not be the best night.
