    The sudden realisation that 'my best' just isn't good enough.

    I can't be bothered quoting individually. So: 1. I'm sticking with it cos I'm at the end of my 2nd year now and it's impractical to change. Subjects get harder as you go on of course. That is expected. If you like a subject, then it will become harder (most of the time) but also more...

    Jessica was DAMN GOOD! :D One thing is clear, the BEST songwriter of the group by miles and miles is Bobby... Everybody's songs made me cringe abit esp Dean and Lisa's. I really liked Chris and Damien the most (beside Bobby and Jess) which is a first for me. Ricky was a trainwreck. ><...

    The sudden realisation that 'my best' just isn't good enough.

    It's going to be difficult to find a real self-motivation trick that's genuine if you don't enjoy the course. I hate it too and find Commerce full of mindless dribble most of the time and I just don't care for it. I'm biding my time. One, you transfer to something you like or two, just do the...

    Australian Idol 2006

    Yeah, Hailey or something. I can't believe her and the bald guy, Marty got so far in that season. Lol, I knew you were being serious. That's why I laughed. Bobby does have a very horsey mouth, I know. Call me a freak as well but over the past few weeks, I actually think Bobby is better...

    Australian Idol 2006

    Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! *cries* I had a feeling this would happen (see above post) but ARGH!!!!! I didn't want Bobby to win the whole thing cos the Idol machine is simply not suited to him but I am in love with his music/performances/style and I want to...

    Australian Idol 2006

    Watching Lisa's performance and listening are two different things. With just audio, her voice seems clearer and each enunciation is more defined and doesn't sound lazy at all. In the past few weeks, her voice sounded incredibly lazy, she rolled notes off her tongue. Blagh. But yesterday, she...

    Australian Idol 2006

    It was by Coldplay, called "See You Soon" Listening to the just the mp3 audio of yesterday's show, Lisa's performance sounds even more incredible. I can really see myself listening to a CD of hers. I love the way she plays the guitar with just finger picking. She really does have a beautiful...

    Australian Idol 2006

    Please please please don't let Bobby be out. Even though his performance semi-sucked, I'm worried that since he went first and wasn't all guns ablaze like Dean, people might forget about him :( I normally go nuts when I hear people calling Bobby a freak (even though, yes, I can see where...

    Australian Idol 2006

    I'm a little averse to Dean's "showman" antics usually but in terms of effort and performance, I think he finally earned it. I dunno about Damien. His voice bores me at times. Ricky is making me feel ill.... Edit: God, Ricky is lammmmme. Lisa was damn good. She's so pretty and her...

    Australian Idol 2006

    Hmm Bobby underwhelmed me even though I love him and love that song. Still good but outshone by everyone who followed. Dean was awesome agreed but I hate that song so much. Chris was good but abit meh. Jess is just so ridiculously likeable but like someone said, it's getting same-o...

    ipods- which to get

    I don't even own an Ipod but I would get the 30gig video over the 8gig nano simply cos they're the same price anyway.

    Thank God You're Here

    :rofl: Yeah, he was by far the best :D The rest weren't funny but me and my friend were laughing so hard the second they all came out in the nun outfits and throughout the whole group challenge :rofl:

    Australian Idol 2006

    Beside that. With disco, practically any selection is daring but once it gets back to a "regular" night, Dean's choices are disappointing. I generally like the kind of music he does, the whole light "pop/rock" thing but it gets boring. His disco night performance was the best so far but he...

    I wish Dean would choose some more daring material...

    Whoops, yeah. It's not I haven't made clear how much Lavina annoys me anyway. Ack.

    Australian Idol 2006

    I think it's just different tastes in music, I guess. I actually did like a few of the songs Lavina sang but she just comes across as very fake and full of herself. Or maybe it's just over-confidence. Either way, it's off putting. Coincidence but I just saw this msn article and it just made...

    How do u become a tutor?

    I don't know for sure but from what I hear from my tutors, honours students are often invited to tutor when they are in their final year or close to it. Or else, they are research students OR they simply have fantastic marks (like HD average or high D average) and know the faculty well. 2 of...

    Australian Idol 2006

    That's why people love them. I'm completely sick of the Ricky/Lavina try-hard/diva types. I used to watch Idol for amusement but I'm now seriously tuning into the performances because there are some real artsist there. Dean plays the guitar and writes his own material although that "Nice to...

    Australian Idol 2006

    Team spirit, my butt. Lavina only seems to have eyes for Jess. Not that that is a bad thing but her whole, "We are a team. Woooo hoo!" thing pisses me off.
