Bloody Siblings!

I feel very festive this weekend. I have an amazing new bed, all big and snuggly and lovely, with brand new blankets (one must always go all the way with these things, dahling) and so feel very happy and stuff. Had a great sleep, good dreams and enjoyed my nice, new, warm bed.
That is, until my brother woke me up at 9am shouting at his girlfriend, in an argument that lasted until the late afternoon. This annoys me, because I work all week with special Saturday in mind: this is the day when I catch up on those brief periods of four-hours "sleeps" I catch during the week.
Then there is the fact that the rest of the family gets involved, because he always takes things too far. He's also really loud. I'm just about the only one who can wield any influence over the nineteen-year-old nutter, so I had to calm him down. Only, because his voice was raised, Jack thought he was attacking me and tried to defend me. Not good.
Apart from that brief suckage, Saturday went well. It involved Courvoisier, pizza, squid and Moulin Rouge on Channel Four-- which admittedly do not go very well together, but was pleasant enough.
During the evening, sc1ssors1ster had me nearly squealing with delight when she 'phoned me from the Darren Hayes concert to let me hear him singing To the Moon and Back live. Fecking brilliant! I wish I had been there, but this was the very next best thing. Kellyness, you rock. *Hug*
Anyway, to Sunday! Huzzah, etc.
And finally, a meme, ganked from wiebke : -
My journal is called _____ because _____.
My subtitle is _____ because _____.
My friends page is called _____ because _____.
My username is ____ because _____.
My default userpic is _____ because_____.
My journal is called The Sound and the Fury because I took it from the title of Faulkner's novel, which in turn comes from the speech in Macbeth, [Life] is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury and signifying nothing.
I didn't choose it because I think I'm an idiot, but because I rant a lot, I sometimes post flippant things and I dress these things up to be reheheaally important and/or enlightening, and they're not really. It's just my journal.
My subtitle is ich heisse super fantastiche (I am super fantastic) because my brother and I were watching the European Music Award nominations a couple of weeks ago and were just enjoying a Franz Ferdinand fest. And then we went round saying this phrase all day. It's all cheery and silly.
My friends page is called Celador because I love the spelling and I'm presuming that this word (TV company in Britain) is supposed to be "cellar door", of Tolkien/Donnie Darko fame. The essence of Darko is cellar door; I love the English language; my friends matter. Cellar door. :p
My username is rebness because I generally add "ness" to just about everything. My friends become "Annaness" and "Kellyness" and "Gemmaness" and, you know, I was tiring of just being Becky. So Rebecca + Ness = rebness.
My default userpic is Kirsten Dunst in The Virgin Suicides because I like her. I like the film. I like this dreamy pose. She looks chilled, which is how I usually look despite my vitriol on this page.
