I'm looking forward to having no school Friday, going on a school- related trip to NYC Saturday (wheee! we will see the crucible and ride on a bus for like 9 hours, which makes me really happy), and watching the fountainhead for comic value either this friday or some other weekend.

tomorrow.

― jess, Wednesday, 27 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tomorrow my spring break starts - well, after school ends. That's exciting and good to look forward to. Plus my family is having a firepot that night (pot of boiling broth in the center and you cook raw stuff to perfecting in little nets, it's an Asian thing) and my boyfriend is invited. Plus I get to spend some "quality" time with my sister on Friday, then I get to see some friends on Saturday, Sunday I am either going out to dinner or seeing my boy again before he leaves for school, Monday I am touring some place I might apply to...But in any case, I have lots of things to look forward to, and I am very happy about this.

Going to NYC on May 3rd is right up there. Can I look forward to finding a job, even though the prospect is very small at present?

And it's silly and small, but one of my favourite people is having a job-leaving do next week that I'm really looking forward to. If I'm lucky, N. might be there too! What more can you ask for?

As I have now discovered I have put on A STONE in a very short amount of time, I am looking forward to JOINING THE GYM. Dere me things are horrific. If I can go to Glasters/ATP I will look forward to that! And tonight I am supposed to be going for BEERS with OLD CHUMS. Beer!!!!!

I am off work, it is sunny outside, and I am on ILE. I DISAPPOINT MYSELF oh well at least I haf thort of ALE. In fact, what I generally look forward to in my life is drink these days.

― Sarah, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Odd rave tonight at some crazy ruined castle in bogIreland which I mentioned before. And ORBITAL on Saturday sadly not at a ruined castle. Oh and can I go on? Friday week is Old Skool Nite 3 at the Red Box, and the last one was surprisingly brilliant, it's once a month and a big crowd of friends will probably go. Then the day after that it's Mr C. and then DJ Falcon the week after that. Then I need to plan the next few weeks. Oh and there's lots of insignificant boring annoying non-going out stuff in between.

― Ronan, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

August sees the release of LotR on DVD and then November sees the EXTENDED VERSION...

― katie, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

have just realised - am looking forward to Camping and LotR. more grist to Alang's "katie is a mentalist" mill methinks :)

― katie, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nonononono I am excited about the extended mix too! I supose they do not call it an EXTENDED MIX on DVD but stil!! A HOBBIT MUSICAL NUMBER! YES! I will need to buy a DVD playa!!!!

― Sarah, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Or hide in Katies spice cupboard with the GARAM MASALA GOBLINGS and then come out in the dead of night and watch it myself on RickyTs DVD playah! HA HA, HA HA HAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA oh dere.

― Sarah, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

There is a film in which Hobbits sing. You really don't want to see it though.

― RickyT, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

LotR. gah! Pleased to see it won "The Keanu Reeves Award for most homoerotic film" in one of the alternative Oscars.

― Alan T, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

did it? ooh then i'll be looking fwd to those deleted scenes of frodo and pipping bumming... i'll get me coat :)

― katie, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

a tolkien musical is urgent and key: "fifteen birds in five fir trees" => haha one of the lines is "till skin cracks and eyes glaze"... and they call it twee

― mark s, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Is this the CARTOON version RickyT? Was there precense of SOFT SHOE SHUFFLE??? THAT is what I want to see. Pipping in a SEQUINNED WAISTCOAST oh yes, the breeches are all very nice but darling this is LAS VEGAS!!

In the Silmarillion I am now up to 'Of Bererialand and it's Realms'. The excitement is overwhelming me no REALLY! More GOTHMOG say I. He could do a great ROCK NUMBER.

― Sarah, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Gothmog vs Gorthaur: tap dance FITE!

― RickyT, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Gothmog vs Morgoth = anagram throwdown!!

ie which is bettah, r or g?

― mark s, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The first day of a ten day university break begins today, but I have many projects to complete during this time and so I'm not looking forward to anything right now.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

it is curious and possibly significant that tolkien — who is on the surface very extremely PRO goth, in the ruskin/morris sense AND the ann radcliffe sense — incorporates the word into names to imply radical evil...

― mark s, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Did the Goths ever invade Finland?

― RickyT, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Death, hopefully. I feel like it, at least

― Ally, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

thread mutation to LotR makes a lot of people feel that way.

― Alan Trewartha, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was looking forward to my friend N's birthday party for her fiancee S, to be thrown in their Canal St loft, and at which I would be the DJ. HOWEVER their insecure and childish roomie A has some inexplicable phobia of a very good friend of theirs/ours who would be certain to attend. Since A controls the loft, and they are all at his mercy, they have all had to bend to his will. They've just called the whole thing off (since not inviting the problematic friend would be far stranger and not-right than simply not having the party, or having it elsewhere)... N's made a bazillion phone calls to invite people and now has had to make the same bazillion calls to disinvite them. N is beyond furious... Soo... I'm kind of looking forward to a sandwich...

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm looking forward to Friday.

― Samantha, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

*sends Ally a hug*

I'm looking forward to meeting Brian. Google research has shown that he's the person I've known the longest online and it will be excellent to finally meet him.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

*seconds Ally hugs, big time, and chastises Alan for his wretched LOTR comments* Am I going to buy both DVD sets given that they have separate amounts of extra material on them? OH GOD YES I AM THAT PATHETIC. I care not.

The Stockholm Monsters albums coming through the letterbox

I'm planning on ordering those myself this weekend! Hurrah for American distribution of those suckers...

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

And yeah, the Rankin-Bass Hobbit and Return of the King both feature singalonga fun. Listening to the Mordor orcs since "When There's a Whip, There's a Way" = hilarity.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

hey where are my hugs?? do i not BLEED LIKE YOU etc etc

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dude, why do you need a hug? You've got a sandwich.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

yeah, a sandwich of DEATH! HUG ME!

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Fuck looking forward to things.
