trinityvixenWell, Kielle might not be excited, but I am optimistic about the adaptation of Hellblazer that's going to be made starting sometime this month, I believe. The film will be called Constantine, an interesting and Hollywood-logical choice: Hellblazer sounds like a more Spawn-like type of thing, whereas, seeing as the market is being saturated with comic book adaptations, Constantine comes with less baggage. Ah, the things I've learned about high concept marketing here! Kielle's problem (oh, btw, she's just an internet comic personality/fan for anyone who doesn't know) is that the titular John Constantine is to be played by dun-dun-DUN Keanu Reeves. I understand the apprehension, but remain optimistic. Mostly, I'm only just now getting into Hellblazer, so I guess I'm bound to be more forgiving of the liberties taken with it on its transition to film.
But, hey, here's more news, for those of you who don't read Superhero Hype! like I do: Gavin Rossdale is gonna be in the movie, too! Add him, the K-man, and Rachel Weisz together, and you got more lookers than you can shake a geekily indignant finger at! Come on, it's GAVIN! Oh, wait, that only makes sense to Michelle and a few other people who don't read this. Oh well. End of mania.
Carrie left Melbourne just about an hour ago. I'll miss her, really. I had lots of fun, though I think I wasn't the best hostess. Should have gotten around to doing more, especially with those days I totally blew off classes and such.
Carrie asked me what I was thinking as we walked to the Skybus. I told the truth: I was thinking about how no one will miss me here when I leave. I'm friends with really only Amy. I can chat with Alicyn, Rahul, Nick, Olga, Louisa, and various others, but those are all Americans. I've even not seen my German friend around recently. I talk with Kate (an Aussie) and some others from F.A.S., but that's it. I really hate Butler for putting me in Unilodge, really REALLY HATE THEM. Amy got to play footy for her college this weekend. I would have killed to be beaten up and sore like she was. I wanted to be in a college, I really really did. Instead, I'm in anti-social fiefdom here at Unilodge.
Sigh. I still can't connect with the Aussies. They all seem to know I'm coming and not be wherever I try to go. MUUC people are really nice, but I just don't see them around often, and their going out night is Thursday, when, incidentally, it turns out there are a surprising number of things suddenly to do. I wanna go see Undead, an Aussie zombie flick with CHAS (Douglas Adams fans' club), but I don't know that I will because I won't know anyone going. I just want to go see the movie, mostly.
Sigh sigh sigh. I have to leave in a bit for karate, which I do like, lots, but again is not the socialite's scene. Despite niceness of now-yellow belted folks in inviting me out a month ago when my family was here, I'm just not really connecting with anyone there either. I'll be going three or four times this week to make sure I fit in enough classes to justify the expense, so maybe I'll get more of a chance. I am going to do the Saturday thing, too, the fitness class and the all belts class.
And when class is done tonight, I have to find someway to A) not bawl my eyes out at how pathetic I feel and B) get materials for a paper and make substantial progress on said paper. I think I'll fail to do A on the tram ride down to class, win myself sympathy at new personal low at karate. That's great, guilt people into hanging out with me. You'd think I was one of those people--one of those clinging types, you know? I'm not, really, I just want to have the opportunity to hang out with people outside of bars, or even in bars, just not alone. I'm really too depressed to keep this up.
I'm going to be late, so I'm off. Am glad am here alone in a sense--no one to get down or disappoint that way. Feel bad I didn't make more of an effort to make Carrie's time here better, but at least she's back where she can have fun now (or soon).

Date: 2003-09-08 06:06 am (UTC)First of all, quit kicking yourself about your hostessing. I had a *wonderful* amazing kickass time, tons of fun, and you didn't disappoint me by *gaspshockhorror!! having classes. Believe me, a little downtime over the break was just what I needed to relax, and I appreciated the opportunities to sleep in and use AIM once in a while. So don't worry about it, 'kay? My vacation was fantastic, largely due to the non-'touristy' Melbourne nightlife, which you damn well made sure I enjoyed. And while yes, I do have fun here in Wellington, it's not as though it was a big trial to spend two weeks hanging out with my best friend. OH THE HORROR.
Plus, dude. I totally threw you the first night I was there. That *alone* made the trip worthwhile.
I'm glad to read you're feeling better after karate. Told'ja it would cheer you up. :-)
And I second Michelle: we loves you and misses you wherever you are, yes precious we does, and *phbbtt* to the Ozzies anyway.
Also, I survived the plane ride even after being hassled by customs. Enjoy my torn and mud-splattered shoes. And thank you for the awesome time. :-)
