Spermalism

Okay, found out some more info about the conference my professor wants me to show off my crap at. It's a pop culture expo with a journalism slant, the other two presenters are from somewhere in the northern hemisphere, and it's NOT going to clash with my USA plans :D However the things that caught my eye were:

1. My research will be published in an academic journal under the names of my professor and I

and

2. ZOMG THEY'RE GONNA FLY ME TO SYDNEY!!!!!!11!1!

You have to understand I have always been insanely jealous of people who get to travel as part of their duties, especially Jarrod who complains about getting flown all over the country to help out with high rated television dance programmes. I remember when I used to be a con whore and was perpetually low on cash and would gladly forefit groceries for flights and accommodation around the southern regions (do ho ho). At one point all my Christmas and birthday presents were cash towards plane tickets. So getting sent to Syd-en-y as part of my research is kind of a big thing for a cash-strapped travel bug such as myself.

It's not until June next year and I'll have to work through the summer break, which is no biggy seeing as I did summer semester last year (and will be again this year). At the moment I'm kind of freaking out because, you know, I don't consider myself academic by any stretch of the imagination (see: "If I only Had a Brain", Scare Crow) and it's just a bit of journo stuff mixed in with MY SHITTY LAME-ASS DRAWINGS. Not at all worthy of anyone's attention, but eh, like I'm going to say no to free flights.

ANYWAY.

Sunday is the High Tea Meetup for Brizzylitas, yayness! Looking forward to catching up with sexah ladies. Sadly Vampire Requiem has yet to arrive, but I managed to get my hands on Meta's Swan Lake jsk :D IMMA POPPIN' MAH PRINT CHERRY, Y'ALL! Except someone posted to the EGL comm that Meta prints run if you get caught in the rain... how the hell am I supposed to get the milky discharge off the bows D:

For reading all that bullshit, you get lulz.

Wonderful news <3 Freee flights ftw!!

We are thinking of producing some docos next year that need to be shot in radelaide/melbourne and we'll have to shell out ourselves of course D: Dayummm

CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU BABEEEEE

Don't all brand prints run? >_> *obv doesn't wash her expensive burando that much*..

Go to Melbourne so you can splurge at ODiP XD

Oh yeah, I was thinking, did you (and who ever else feels like it) wanna meet at the gates at Central about 2:30-2:45 on Sunday? Safety in numbers, y'all.

I'm not experienced with prints so I wouldn't know ;_; It would suck so bad to get caught in the rain!

I got completely drenched in my bodyline floral skirt but it was completely fine. But it's a different printing process.

PIssant town lolol.

Yes, that is a good idea. Get mel to post it in the meet info or something. Which gates do you mean, in front of the newsagent or something?

You are going to look SO GOOD in swan print!

Aw, that's sweet of you <3 I still want a real actual swan to wear as a headpiece. I'm sure I could fit my head in there.

Sydney is really fun :D Have to go to The Cupcake shop and see their adorable little $2 cupcakes stacked high with sweets!

Lol, I've been there a few times and always think of it as Australia's toilet bowl. It would be a great place to spend money though!

Also, Faith tells me I'm having a Halloween party. You should come up for the weekend to balance out the crazy.

You always downplay yourself.. don't dude... no matter how insignificant your achievements might actually be. Enjoy the little victories against life. It's like kicking mother nature in the face... powerthirst and all...

Are you implying I should have 400 babies?

Yay for the conference and getting your name published! A great feat in my eyes :D

Also, I am insanely jealous of you getting the Meta Swan Lake jsk. Which colourway did you get? I finally found someone willing to sell it but after some weird money being passed and refunded and stuff, I didn't end up having enough money to buy it. *fail*

[identity profile] friezaess.livejournal.com 2009-10-16 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
This is the one I got:

Aw, I'm sorry you couldn't get it! I've seen the skirt come up a few times on the sales comm though and it always looks lovely. High-waisted skirts = epic.

[identity profile] jahrhundert.livejournal.com 2009-10-17 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
OMG!!! YOU GOT THE FREAKING JSK I WANTED!!! I am planning to buy the other version of it since I couldn't find anyone selling that version and hoping to trade it eventually.

You got a lovely dress and I can't wait to see pictures of you wearing it :D

...Gay nazi pride...with Denmark and Norwegian flags... Why would you have a gay nazi march in Denmark? Just when I thought that country could get any weirder

Maybe they're paying homage to The Producers?

On flights, we have a sales team of 15 or so who gets to fly around Australia on a weekly basis. I've been here 3 years and have never been flown anywhere.

Resentment.
