^ "bearded woman" comes across as a little degrading and sounds like you're reducing her act to being nothing more than a gimmick. I'd like to think you didn't say it offensively but there are certain phrases like "bearded woman" or "man in a dress" that can only come off as ignorant or dismissive in that context. With a performance that is obviously so polarising, with people either finding her inspirational or offensive, the use of language means everything to avoid being misunderstood.

Honestly I loved her performance, I'm very hit and miss when it comes to Eurovision acts and the last time I liked the winner was when Lena won with Satellite, so I'm happy that Conchita won this year. And she's pretty damn amazing.

Len - Steal My Sunshine

ahhhhh this takes me back to my youth
Pretty sure Len had a song on the soundtrack for the Digimon Movie
YESSSS they covered Kids In America for it
Which is how I grew to love the Kim Wilde original
YEAAAAAAH

I'm watching for Neighbours for the first time in over a year (maybe even 2 years wow)
Everything has changed so much
Entire families have moved in and out which is really weird
And Susan Kennedy is a jack of all trades
In the last few years she's been the principal of the local high school, the editor of the local newspaper and now she wants to be a celebrant and I can't remember exactly how many jobs she's done in her life (and I don't know how many times she can Karl have been married and divorced either)
I mean seriously she's like Ms. Rabbit from Peppa Pig
Not exactly happy with Zeke's I'm-visiting-for-a-week storyline but eh it was kinda adorable
Still think Home and Away is waaaaaaaaaay better
If we could pluck Zeke out of Neighbours-limbo and plop him into Home and Away I would be very, very happy
(as you can see I take my Australian soaps seriously)
(why have I posted this here no one cares about Australian soaps whoops oh well~~~~~)

(oh and I don't get why in England we're getting a break from Home and Away
When the next set of episodes is set in
Wait for it
England!!!
It makes no sense
People switch off for a while after a break
So the London based episodes might get skipped by a lot of people
Silly Ch5
Or whoever it is who decided that it was a good time for a break :| )

The All-American Rejects - Swing, Swing

I love that my Spotify playlist is full of random songs from random school memories
Every now and then my shuffle goes from "yeah this is pretty good" to "OH MY GOD THIS SONG"

The first band I saw live were AC/DC at Wembley. Definitely my least favourite show ever because as much as I like them and have grown up listening to them, I definitely not the kind of person who would enjoy the atmosphere of their shows. I got wine thrown on me during the first song, it was raining, it was cold, I just didn't enjoy myself.

Favourite gig so far has been Amanda Palmer & The Grand Theft Orchestra. I'm really gutted though because I had to leave early so I could go to graduation the next day ;___;  seriously next time Amanda tours in England I will be there no matter where or when. SERIOUSLY.

I've also seen Ingrid Michaelson and Kate Nash. I want to go to more gigs but for some reason Birmingham gets completely skipped over for shows :(

I've been trying to get all of the trophies for the FFX Remaster before I start the X-2 Remaster but that's looking to be... boring and too time consuming. I managed to miss one of the Al Bhed Primers in Home so I need to start a new file to get that, and I've managed to beat all the Dark Aeons but I am totally outclassed by Penance.

Everyone has around 27,000HP and only Tidus has Auto-Haste which is pretty much a requirement in order to kill off the arms before they get a turn. I have around 10 empty nodes left on the grid which I'm going to use for HP nodes, but I might have to start erasing some 1 point nodes and replace them with 4 point ones to free up the nodes, or just replace the old HP nodes with HP +300. Either way I need to do A LOT of battling to get all the items I need to make the armor I need for it and get my HP up to a suitable level :\

(I really want to play The Last Of Us but I don't have it here so I guess I'll start on X-2 instead ;-;)

Played The Last of Us online loads  :ohmy: my clan gets bigger and bigger and I don't know why I'm not telling them to go away. I mean, I can't be bothered to get 40 supplies per game.

But... that's the entire point of the online play :o
And honestly the clan thing gets really fun if you connect it to Facebook because all the survivors are people on your friend's list and you get more motivated to collect supplies and keep people alive
Managed to keep my best friends alive and basically let everyone else die
(Damn I need this game back in my life now ;___;)

Whoever decided that dodging 200 lightning bolts in a row is an acceptable challenge to have in a video game is a horrible person
My eyes are killing me
My highest streak is 81 so far
But since getting that I can't even get past 20
I just want Lulu to actually deal some damage
I want super cheap and super powered Ultimas ;____;

I'm fine until I realise I'm blinking or breathing weirdly in order to get into a rhythm
And then I mess up my blinking and miss bolts
And I can't get comfortable enough to sit and do 200 bolts at once :(

Fjejvjsicisjfjeifieshfidhwj why is every other sigil so easy to get while this one requires you to kill your eyesight 50 times over!?
Did the chocobo chaser within 10 attempts
Did the cactuar quest without being caught by a cactuar and getting a loser sphere
The Moon sigil is pitifully easy
Even the butterfly challenge is child's play
And then you have to dodge 200 lightning bolts in a row without breaking the chain in any way
Why 200? Why not just 100!? >:|

like i can't say anything bad about the ukelele here because webby will enter the scene all evil and brooding like misfits!ukelele rudy and i'll just be like oh noooOOOOOOOOOOOOO

yOu HaVe SiGnEd YoUr OwN dEaTh WaRrAnT pUnY mOrTaL

Haha I'm in the realm of playing a cheap right handed ukulele left handed
Which sounds awful
I learned a whole bunch of chords but couldn't play them very fast and I couldn't keep rhythym
Which is the exact opposite of my issues in learning the piano
So I feel like if I break out my old keyboard and learn both together I can be the next Amanda Palmer???
Because I want to play Mouse and the Model and Delilah and The Point Of It All and Ukulele Anthem etc
