Apologies for the unscheduled changes to our show for the past couple weeks, but I'm finally off the boat and don't have crazy Somali pirates breathing down my neck any more. In case I didn't make it clear during that first show; Welcome back to the crazy world of Reincarnates everybody! It's good to be back, and whole. Slightly concerning that I've spent two weeks on a boat with people who weren't exactly inclined to let me back ashore without having to pay extortionate amounts of money, but it turns out that Tinkerbell is actually useful for some things. The experience has definitely been interesting, and bizarrely I feel like I've actually gained some friends. On a related note, what on earth do you get a bunch of pirates for Christmas? I'm pretty sure I have no idea. If only Hook were here, right? Though I know there's various other pirate related people out here. Send me your ideas.
Holly, what was it you wanted to do this weekend? I'm totally free since I haven't been around to make plans with anyone.
And where the heck is the local MTN in Somalia or Kenya? I really should have insisted on Dubai. |

Omg I can't even explain!
But like, if everyone's disappears, does that make our radio station obsolete? |

Uh...I'm sorry? I still have my job, right? After insulting agency staff, and...I don't know what the hell I was doing. Making some poor clothing choices mainly. Sorry. |

So I didn't get fired during 'the week of truths'! Thanks Jim! Even if I know it's totally because everyone else was saying stuff that they shouldn't be saying on air at the same time. You couldn't fire us all, right? Well, maybe you could, but then you'd have no staff, and you'd have to deal with all the phone calls, and you probably wouldn't want that.
But while I'm here, I apologize for anything I may have said or done while under the influence of whatever drug we were taking. They weren't the views of the station, and for that matter, Mrs Buchanan, they weren't my views either. I think the story about your cat was fascinating, and if you'd like to get in touch again, I'd love to hear the end of it. Just leave your details, that's fine.
Isn't it weird how you can get so super busy with work that you don't even know when you're going to get to take a holiday, or even if you care. I mean right now, I have so much stuff I want and need to do with the show that I don't think I'll be disappearing off for a while. Unless, obviously, I need to go and do some charity work somewhere. Which we do. If you have a charity that needs supporting, then just let us know and we'll see what we can do for that too. I mean, I love getting involved in that sort of thing, and having the show totally helps. I think I'm going to sign up to run a marathon for one of our charities. Which means I should probably get training.
I'll sign up to a gym tomorrow... |

So my parents are away and movie nights in are really fun. Even if I totally am just watching Peter Pan films. Though I also watched Finding Neverland, and that film is really kind of sad actually, but still good. I've been watching Hook though, and Rufio is cool. I think I kind of like him. He definitely has an edge over Pan at the start. Though honestly, I think James has a better edge even over Rufio and he totally keeps it, up until being eaten by the croc anyway.
I mean, James was always the most fun to play with too. The Indians were fun sometimes, but you know, they were never fully into the game. They might change their minds at any moment, but the pirates. And I think that's only because James was captain. Can you imagine if Smee had been in charge? What a wet fish. That wouldn't have been nearly so fun. James was a fitting enemy for Peter though. Charismatic in all the right ways. Pan and Hook, fighting until the very end, and both so very cunning. Though never let Peter know I said this. I think James was just as cunning as Pan, maybe moreso. After all he convinced me. I mean, Tink. Oh you know what I mean.
I think I'll watch the more recent one next. They're both so terribly impish. Maybe you wouldn't think it of the Captain, but he was. Sometimes I desperately wish I had Never Land back. Maybe I could find it if I even dared fly. Oh God, oh God. No, I can't even say that without feeling sick.
Anyway, don't forget to stay tuned to the show! I love hearing from you all. Except obviously, those of you who should be burning in Hell. But everyone else! Love you! |

Hey Reincarnates at large!
So my new radio show starts next week! It's weekdays at 11pm GMT! So that's 6pm EST, 3pm PST! 8am Brisbane, and the rest of you will have to work it out for yourselves.
Before I start there though, I'm looking for reincarnates! No matter who you are, or who you have with you in your head, get in contact, we're looking to do a series of interviews with you guys. You can set limits if some things are uncomfortable to talk about, but this is your chance to all share how it's been for you. Do you get on with your other half? Has it been a total struggle? Would you prefer someone else, and who? And of course, those of you with your fictional homes turning up, we'd love to talk to you and get your reactions on it.
My show is totally interactive, so email in, or text, call us while the show is on. I totally want to hear from you! Don't forget your song requests!
And don't forget, it's Gary's last day tomorrow! I know maybe a lot of you don't really listen to him, but it'll be a totally fun show. I mean, I'm on it!
Tune in or Miss out! |

So not only did I get the job (Yes, you will be hearing my voice on the radio soon. How cool is that?) but also before I leave Switch, they want me to do an interview with the Broncos at Suncorp Stadium. I'm pretty intimidated, but it's going to be so freaking cool! I mean rugby players are totally hot. Though I guess some also look like their heads are too small for their necks. I probably shouldn't say that to them though because they might attack me. I mean, they're pretty well-built.
Also, so far, no Never Land. Which is good in a way because even if it did turn up it's not like Peter or any of the Lost Boys are around to appreciate it. That and I'm pretty sure Tink would probably knock me unconscious somehow to make sure she could go there and live out the rest of her days in Pixie Hollow or whatever. Sometimes I'm a little scared of her. |

So like, if places like Gotham are turning up, and people seem to think other places will turn up, does that mean the made up places will turn up? Like Never Never Land, or I don't know, Far Away Land. I'mfromoneofthoseyouknow,notsomadeup. Yeah, okay, but you know what I mean, it's not exactly real in terms of how regular people would see it? I mean, fairytale castles and islands with attached pirate ships turning up is sure to turn a few more heads than just a city. A city is a city, right, even if it's a comic book city!
Ted, you said you were Star Wars, right? Does that mean that big half broken sphere thing is gonna turn up in Detroit or wherever? Though I guess Star Wars is pretty popular. So that could probably be explained away as some kind of fan thing, right? But what if Hell turns up? There's demons around here now, and I assume that's what they'd call home right?
Yeah, I get it. This might not happen, but ain't any of you a little worried? |

[May. 10th, 2010|11:13 pm] |
Okay, so I actually got a job finally! And while I say job, it's kind of more an internship, like especially right now since they weren't actually hiring but I think they got tired of me stopping by all the time. So I'm trying out at Switch 1197 on the morning show, mainly just helping out to start with, but I think they totally might talk to me on air. I mean, it's not ABC Brisbane or like...97.5FM or B105, but it's a total start! And plus if I can get hold of some better equipment I'm thinking maybe I should totally set up my own podcast thing. Those things are really popular these days.
I've dealt with the dust issue I hope and everyone who wanted some, I mailed it out. I actually totally appreciate you taking it off my hands, it honestly looked like I'd tried to open a craft store and got attacked by a kindergarten at the same time. I think Tink is calming down a little now that I'm out and doing something. Who knew that was all I had to do? |

Okay so this is a sort of problem. I'm leaving a trail of glittery fairy dust everywhere I go! I can't get it to stop right now, and it's beginning to get annoying. Like all my clothes are covered, and I'm pretty sure no one in their right mind could think I owned this much glitter. It's just ridiculous.
On a side note, does anyone want any spare fairy dust? |

So I've been listening to different radio shows from literally everywhere around the globe because I figured it would count as like, research for when someone agrees to interview me. Admittedly, I don't really understand the shows that are in like...Russian or French, or whatever, but the sound like they could be interesting, at least, their voices make them sound interesting, so maybe I just need to make sure I have an interesting voice for radio. I should practice this. Seriously? Anyway, so today I listened to Greg James, who is a DJ on the British Radio One, and by the way, British accents are totally hot, and he started playing the theme song to Thomas the Tank Engine. And then there was also Fireman Sam. I haven't heard of the Fireman one, but it sounded kind of fun, and did you know that Thomas has even more friends now! And that the Fat Controller is gone?! You heard it here first! Or...second if you already knew that stuff. Anyway, I have to wonder if this is the sort of thing that he normally does on his show, so I might have to get a few more podcasts.
In other news, I think I'm the most tan I've ever been in my life, even more than that time we went on holiday to Florida. It's weird, because there aren't loads of other people around who are this tanned. There's a few, but...you know, not loads. Well, not obviously. You'd think there would be thousands of really, really tan people, not including aboriginals really, but you would think there would be! I mean it's Australia! There's barely been any rain here at all since I've moved here, though it is starting to become more cloudy now. My tan just feels out of place and I don't life feeling so out of place, not that I haven't had loads of practice with that, what with moving here in the first place and also having Tinkerbell in my head. I mean, awkward!
Oh and also, my parents thought we should take a trip out to Dreamworld, but I had a look at some of the rides out there, and I think they're just insane! There's one that takes you up 120 feet and then waits there for five minutes before dropping you. Like seriously, who in their right mind would find that fun?! Instead I found them this computer game called roller coaster tycoon and I think my dad at least is kind of satisfied with that for now. I've tried playing it but I'm just not very good at it. All my rides make people sick or they think they're too boring. I even had one that just crashed when I tried it out. Not great. I don't think I should plan a career in designing death defying roller coasters, because it seems I might just kill people instead.
OH! And also I saw a brown snake three days ago. I think I might have screamed and ran away inside and locked all the doors. But yanno, it means that the thing didn't get a chance to bite me or anything. It was kinda terrifying. |

This is possibly the worst feeling in the world. Well maybe not the worst, I imagine there's worse, like if you have cancer. I really hope no one has cancer right now. Anyway, this is pretty bad. But maybe it's kind of worth it in the end because I did make some friends I think, and I guess that's what I was aiming for. You need to network these days to get places, right? It's taken me this long to get over Wednesday's festivities though. Who would have thought that the Australian's were so keen to celebrate St Patrick's day too, or that they'd drag me along to 'the Valley'. I can totally see what my Mom meant about the evils of alcohol though it wasn't all bad...from what I remember.
I spent all of yesterday out by the pool feeling sorry for myself, and now I've had to drag myself around to find gifts. You know, searching for gifts is difficult when you don't know a person all that well, but I think I did okay. At least, I hope it's sort of meaningful without being tacky. Why is that balance so hard to pull off?
I guess on Monday I should get back to trying to intern in radio. I figure eventually they'll let me because I'm being so persistent (not counting the last few days). I don't think I could hold out for much longer if positions were reversed. They must have had some kind of training to be so stoic!
Liam, though you're not reading this right now probably, get well soon! |

This is so UTTERLY frustrating! I just got turned down for ANOTHER job, which is like the third one this week, and my parents think I'm not trying hard enough but I really am! Maybe I should look at a job based somewhere else now that the MTN's are back up and working and I'll just have to not mention where I'm based to my parents. Which is also frustrating, you know, because they just don't seem to understand or even want to try about anything out of the ordinary which of course, having someone else in your head is. Like every time I get close to mentioning anything about Tink they sort of glaze over into this look that suggests the next phone call they make is to a hospital that I won't ever get out of. I don't want to be ungrateful to them, but I think they should ease up a littttttt

OMG, it's my birthday in just over a week and I have like, no one to celebrate it with. Ugh. Who knew making new friends in a strange country would be so hard? Though I guess it doesn't help that I don't have a job, which also my parents have said that I need to get one of these because now that I'm almost 21 it's ridiculous that I don't have one, but they don't seem to get that they've just moved me over here and I have no real qualifications other than my high school diploma since I never finished college, but then that was my fault. But I'm going to stop by some radio stations to see if I can intern or anything. At least that would be a step closer to what I want to do, right? Which in the end is the whole point of getting a job, moving you closer to your goals, even if the job doesn't seem related, because you can always just do that job until there's a better opening, or save up your money to take courses that will help you get where you want to be. It's all experience, right, at least that's what they say.
But I still don't know what I'm going to do for my birthday. I think I might just go out to Morton Island for the day. I could go dune surfing and maybe some snorkelling or find some hot guy to teach me to scuba. I think they have some ship wrecks around the island which sounds really cool, and there's even friendly sharks down there. Not so friendly that you can go hug them, because that's just silly. They're still sharks, but someone told me these ones don't mind people so long as you aren't grabby. As long as it's the right kind of sharks down there. The next island over has had reports of bull sharks and that's scary. I think I should make sure that whoever takes me diving has shark fighting experience just in case. It's almost a shame the MTN's aren't up because I could go and see my friends back home instead. Oh well. |

Well this is kind of exciting. We finally have internet! It's so slow though. I don't know how everyone here copes. But I guess maybe everyone spends too much time at the beach to really notice. Oh, but that's not really why I'm here. I mean, it's great that I have a working connection, but I'm sure no one here really needs to know that, or do you? Is that the kind of thing you talk about? I guess not so much.
Anyway, this is a little weird. I don't think I would have even used this if I hadn't moved. Is that rude? It kind of is. Don't take that the wrong way, I mean, I'm not saying you're all boring people and I couldn't care less whether I know you or not, it's just that I had a lot of people to talk to back home and it could be kind of hectic so trying to live two different lives would have been awful. But now with living in Australia and not knowing anyone my social calendar is sort of empty. Again! That's not to say you're second best. Oh God.
I mean, just forget I said all that stuff. This is where you should probably start reading from. How do you do this sort of thing, do you just come right out and say exactly who and what you are? Well I guess so. I've seen other people doing that. I'm Lexi Mannings, and I live in Australia (as I said but you shouldn't have read that part, really). But the thing that you'll probably find most interesting about me right now is that I have a fairy in my head. But not a gay fairy. Not that there's anything wrong with being gay. Omg I have to stop talking. It's Tinkerbell! Like from Peter Pan! And because there's all sorts of other people like this it doesn't make me crazy or in need of an exorcism. Unless we're all crazy or possessed, which I guess could be up for debate. Fingers crossed though we actually do have reincarnated people and not demons.
You know, demons are really quite scary. Especially when you need them exorcised. Which isn't at all like exercising them, because that would just be silly making them fitter and more able to stay in your head. In the case of demons I think you just want them out as soon as possible before your head starts rotating around or cockroaches pour out of your mouth. Wow, I've really gone off track haven't I?
I think maybe I should just end this by saying "Yay the war is over!" I mean, call this good timing or what? Though I really hope I never have to take history quizzes on it. Because history isn't really my strong point. It was hard enough following the first explanation of the whole thing. So anyway, if anyone is stopping by Australia at any point, the beaches are real nice this time of year, and I'd be happy to show you around Brisbane and maybe up the coast a little even though I don't know it that well. A few more weeks and maybe I'll know a lot more though. I mean, I do have a lot of shopping to do. And those scuba lessons. |
