In Flanders Fields
by Lt - Colonel John McCrae
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

America's Answer
by R. W. Lilliard
Rest ye in peace, ye Flanders dead,
The fight that ye so bravely led,
We've taken. ; And we will keep,
True faith with you who lie asleep,
With a cross to mark his bed,
In Flanders fields.
Fear not that ye have died for naught,
The torch ye threw to us we caught,
Ten million hands will hold it high,
And freedom's light shall never die!
We've learned the lesson that ye taught,
In Flanders fields.
TO THE HOT MEN WHO DEFINITELY READ MY LJ FOR SURE: I am not a hideous nostril beast in person, I swear!
About, you know. The holocaust of humanity.

I was feeling really stressed out when I woke up yesterday afternoon (I had a daytime sleep due to night shift). So eventually I decide to take some codeine after getting something into my stomach. It put me to sleep, sure, but then I woke up all shaky (and I'm literally still shaking some seven hours later). I have no idea why. Codeine has never done that to me before. And I'm taken some powerful stuff because run-of-the-mill painkillers have no effect.
GAH. It must be this Friday exam that's chipped me right down to the bone. I've basically given up on achieving 20%, which would give me an A overall in the subject. I'll be very satisfied with a B. I think my complete lack of knowledge in this class is getting me down. I really devoted all my energy to my law and politics classes. The lesson here: never do international relations again. You're not interested in it, Amsie.
EDIT: On the upside, I just realised all my law examinations next year are open book. OMGYAY! And since I'm not doing any more non-law subjects, I won't have to go through any other closed book examinations anytime soon.
I heard from my parents. They are currently travelling around Australia looking at other buses (long ago you'll remember they bought another bus - well, apparently it'll take too much money to do up to the standard they desire). They're heading to Adelaide at the moment and goodness knows how long they'll be down there (they're seeing family in Victoria on the way). This means I'll have to change my flight from the 18th to a week later... or something. Mum has agreed to pay the change fee and the difference. I'm literally only going up there for her. I'm hoping they'll feed me (usually I have to buy everything myself, but given the lack of work I've been getting due my to uni commitments, she might take pity on me).
*looks at recent posts* New flisters, I really don't complain all the time! It's just I'm having an awful week :(.
To all of the veterans on my f-list, in lurkersville, and the families of such, thanks for your service!
To my family: Brad, Dad, Uncle Gary, Grandpa Hiesel;
To my "family": John-John and Andrew;
To my friends: Ed, Joe, and all the other servicemen and women that have touched my life;
And to everyone who raises a flag, waits at home, builds equipment and stands by in support of those who go in service
Thank you.

I had the same problems as last week. The quality is not very good, some of the caps show a weird pixelated pattern (example). It seems like the good quality versions are just not available anymore. :o( There are still lots of nice images, though.

We are back to NORMAL on SYTYCD! Praise be! In the past I've mumbled a bit about how maybe they shouldn't do audience vote in the early rounds, so the popular-but-not-great people (or people paired with a popular dancer, Kherington) don't stick around till Top 10 and thus take tour spots away from people I'd rather see. I TAKE IT BACK. I TAKE IT ALL BACK. GIVE ME MY BIANCA BACK, YOU BASTARD BASEBALL TEAMS.
Er. Anyway.
( Onto this week! If this show were on ABC, I would swear Cat's outfit was a subtle promo for V )
And I'm going to the STYCYD tour!!! I bought a ticket! I AM FREAKING EXCITED ABOUT IT!!!

I would also like to say that I really have been trying to write, but I am so crack-addicted to Lady Gaga's new song that I can't stop listening and have you ever tried to write serious business going after a bad guy on horses listening to Lady Gaga? ONE OF THESE THINGS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHE
The first deleted scene for HBP has been released online, showing an extended look at the sequences leading up to the Astronomy Tower fiasco. Two short BTS clips of Rupert Grint on the HBP set going through Ron's transformation throughout the series, as well as Emma Watson getting a Dark Mark temporary tattoo from the make-up department can be seen below, as well.
Either I am very bad at calling these things or I am very good at living in denial. It's flu. Definitely flu. All flu symptoms. Joy. Now I merely hope that it is ordinary miserable flu and not media sensation evil flu. Or maybe I should hope it's a mild case of evil flu so I can have a measure of immunity? Whatever. I'd settle for not feeling miserable.
Back to watching The Universe and hoping I fall asleep soon so I can forget how awful I feel. :p
