You can't 'fix me'
I won't be around for a couple of days as I'm going away for the weekend to (nearly) finish off my youth ministry/leadership course, Formation. Obviously, I am shamelessly plugging it for all you peeps who live in my general area to do it as well.
http://www.4twelve.unitingchurch.org.au/
So I'll be eating so much chocolate I won't be able to fit in lunch or dinner, and I'll be learning more about God and people. It'll be great.
Oh, and I just remembered that there are some embarassing photos of me with (brown) short hair (a year after I shaved my head for charity) so now you are going to have to check it out :P
And Kristina is probably coming to Sunday @ Seven this Sunday night - w00t! ^_^ So that's what I'm doing from tonight on.
Today was a rehearsal for China Tour, and Dasso (Ms Das Neves, Deputy Principal) was there, and we chatted for a little while about how I'm not looking/feeling ill, and how she's learning clarinet too so by easter she'll be playing with the best of us. After she went off again, I turned to Sarah (they're in year TEN now! Oh, I remember when they were in year seven and so little...) and the other first clarinet and explained why I was talking to a teacher. We're 'like that' (twisting fingers). We're only all buddy-buddy 'cause I was quite sick the end of last term and Dasso decided to become my doctor and insisted I had glandular fever and we ended up seeing a lot of each other (seeing as she is my ancient history teacher and deputy principal). So aside from her saying 'alright?' too much, and being a sort of bad teacher (ie. boring), I like her fair enough. And her son looked so lonered today. I was going to talk to Mr. James Taylor (the other deputy's son) who's also coming on tour, and then he went to talk to Dasso's son, and then I was being friends with Asquith Girl Bec, and I can't keep ditching her. Well, that's what I did last time.
But there's another three hour rehearsal on Monday, so I'll buddy it up with them then.
Dietz (conductor) keeps advising we need to keep 8 kgs free in our suitcases for shopping in China, but I don't know what I would be getting. Aside from anime, of course. And aside from typical souvenir type stuff. Which is probably what I'll end up doing. But as if I'll be able to keep down the weight of my packing! I always overpack! Packing for the Formation weekend, I'm taking the mini-suitcase, just 'cause it's easier, and I thought it would be nearly/half empty. As if. I put nearly everything in and it looks all full. *sigh*
I don't want to pull a Ludi - I think I'll start packing for China about three weeks beforehand. I got some stuff at Christmas to take to China, so that'll be the first to be plonked in.
I'll need to be eating before I leave to pick up Tegan and Christianne for the Formation weekend, and I'll play a bit of solitaire in lament for it's spider brother, so this is the end of this.

Plan NOW to survive
Radio Adelaide makes me feel so cultured ^_^
And, like TJ (although on other matters), "because I like it".
I've been watching the tennis heartily, rooting for players that I doubt will win a Grand Slam final. It's fun. And I stayed up late last night, but I half-slept in this morning to the sound of building next door, so my half-dreams contained well-timed gun shots.
I should be doing schoolwork... I need to be more stressed about it, first. I'm not that much Under Pressure *click click* yet. Sigh...
*scowl*
Ok, now I'm working my way up to it. Thinking about it subconsciously...
You know what's addictive? Spider Solitaire. Yes, that's right. When James first talked to me about it, as if I had any idea what he was saying. Oh, but it's fun. My new Civilization II, I think. So what if I can't play on higher difficulty.
Gah. I've found a few more deviants I like.. Preeeetty. So I am still considering putting up Art links. But then I should also do some web comic links, but then I haven't read my favourites in .. probably around a year.. At least months. So that's a bit.. something.
I practised my China music last night. All I want for Christmas... is to be able to play those semi quavers in Pirates like a pro. Oh, I used to be able to do it... I think Dietz (band conductor) is just conducting really fast to show off how good symphonic band were. And this conglomerate tour band for China.. well.. considering how many year sevens there are... But - next and first rehearsal for the year is Friday morn, so I'll be able to greet Asquith buddies, Hannah and Bec, and become friends with Mr. James Taylor (deputy principal's son). He's either super smart or actually a year older than me. Which would be weird. And then I could no longer have reign of being oldest (and best) student! I'm sure he's just accelerated (he's already done half of his HSC subjects). And I think he goes to James Ruse, which is the top school in the state, so that would be self-explanatory. In my mind, I still don't think of our school as that intelligenta maximum, but really, we are. Hm. I think our grade will bring the school back down ^_^ Or at least I will.
So I'll listen to Radio Adelaide a bit more, probably not play the Sims, and 'after lunch' get to work on that essay. As if. And I forgot that I don't have the weekend to do everything cause of Formation. Oh well.

Waves
Wow - I'm considering buying a Marjorie Fair CD. o.0 That is, if one existed and I could buy one. :)
They're nice easy listening, actually. Ok, this song is a bit repetitive, but nice lyrics, nice vocals.. Yeah.. *dreamy state of needing sleep*
Guess who else loves the Battery Kids now? James! Yay ^_^ :D I think he nearly loves them as much as I do. It's fab. And I might be heading up to his holiday house on Monday and we can plot and plan and I can further avoid doing homework. So much for today being essay writing day.
The annoying thing about my mp3 player is that with the putting-on of Hack Sign songs, everything goes crazy. All my Band of Brothers tracks are inbetween Queen, so one minute it's Plaisier, and the next it's All Dead, All Dead. : Wow, that actually fits pretty well.. Anyway... *scowls*
Tonight's Niki's birthday dinner; Michael's made her one of his great cards, I've made her a semi-trippy card using my photoshop connoisseur tactics.
Still major drama about 'what do I wear', and I can't even follow Christianne's great ideas that can be trendied down or formalled up, because I don't have anything clothes like that. Well, not washed, anyway.
OK, now my internet cuts out randomly even without Zone Alarm operating. >.< Maybe Bryan's anti virus pirated software would make things work? :P
Hmm.. Haven't been doing Gran's dictionary-word-every-couple-of-days thing..
Next weekend is a lot of things! Formation, the youth ministry leadership course I'm doing - the chocolate perpetuation will continue. Yes, I am aware that doesn't really make sense, but thinking of chocolate can do this to people. Also - Tegan's Sunday @ Seven service, which will be cool.. oops.. I need a name for my one.. Snappy title person around? Hm... I need one of those annoying muses that occasionally gives good ideas or hints.
! Had a good/fun plot bunny yesterday and now I can't remember it.. :(
I'm thinking of making an 'Art' links section. Just to make it easier for myself when I want to check sites, really.. But some are so goooood. @.@ Hmm... *thinking of the artist she would pick to illustrate every page of her novel*
Ahh, Marjorie Fair..
Oh, and I spelt connoisseur right after all.
That can be enough now, or I'll depress myself by observing Becca's and Kari's msn names and being miserable.

Not Another Like Song
Hey Michael, remember that time you very indiscreetly implied that your best friend was hot in front of your best friend's mum? *sniggers*
Oh, good times.
Gackt's voice @.@ I can bathe in it. *sigh*
I wish Gloria Jeans went back to BOGOF (buy one get one free), I've just been to www.hotdockets.com.au to try and nab me one but to no avail. So hot chocolate today will be half price off one only. Actually, that's going to amount to about $7, if we're both getting larges.. I was going to treat Tegan. Oh well. We can't depend on my maths skills leaving enough spending money in my wallet anyway.
Oh, and run down to 3 sherbet lemons as of yesterday, when mum, Eddy and I saw Joyeux Noel. She kept speaking loudly to him, when I'm sure he could hear find. Y.Y Though, he had just gotten out of bed and looked sleepy, then after the movie thought it was night time.. 4 hours sleep in 48 hours... Not good, Ed-kun. *shudder*
At least I have confidence in my sleeping abilities, now. I didn't get to sleep straight away last night, but I don't think I was yet "trying". The harder you try, the harder it is.
To help you sleep, think happy thoughts. Who knows, you might fly as well.
Hmm.. So tomorrow is this long-awaited (not really) picnic in the city. *Shrugs* My friends are going, that's why I want to go. I also enjoy the train rides. When you go with other people, it makes the trip seem shorter. But I like it when they go on for ages. (Right now I feel so unintelligent.) It's like New Year's.. Everyone else had fallen into a drunken doze, I was reading and singing in my mind, but I had no idea where we were, so I put my stuff away and missed maximum fun time. Well, that's the Northen Line for ya.
I can't even pretend I'm a North-Shore-oh, even though I live on that train line, but I'm simply on the other side of Hornsby, in a hole, just because we're a smaller suburb. We have a Maccas! The other suburbs either side of us don't! ^_^'''
Well, at least we're not Cowan. *snort* Eight streets.. XD
Oh, we're MUCH better than them (obviously), and my superiority complex is settling in again.
I need to have breakfast before going out. Last time I'm getting school shoes in my life. Unless the ones I'm getting are faulty and terrible and I'll need new ones. Still. I'm hoping I'm served by someone vaguely familiar. That would be a nice farewell.
Hmm.. The Ataris? They famous? Hmm.. A bit too punk-esque. But alright :) *dances*

Pretty Foreign Music
Today was slightly more productive than it was going to be.
Actually, about the same, as I could have seen a movie and still done the same amount of work >.<
I'm reading a book I don't like, I managed to log in for my Drama script.. Stephen's upstairs watching Initial D (eps I've already seen... I think he wouldn't have gotten ahead yet), and I wish I had more Gackt like In This Empty Room. Sigh, of course.
:)
o.0 The Early November - anyone ever heard of them? Sound kinda like Dashboard Confessionals, but slower and better and less.. indie.. o.O
So I'm going to this picnic on Friday. I *think* Michael's going. Oh well, I'm taking some fresh bread rolls to munch, and some Sars (which I won't put in the fridge or it'll perspire in my bag... even if I put another bag around it, it would probably be warm by the time I get to the botanical gardens). Actually, I might boost my Baptist Youth Ministeries travel mug up with Byron Bay coffee.. ohh, Byron Bay.... mmm.. Ok, that's going to be my one coffee today instead. *twitchy eyes as she tries not to run immediately away and get her caffiene fix*
Ahem.
Oh, I think I'm gettin' a headache. o.0 The typing is sounding louder than normal and it's kind of pounding in my head. Not good. @.@
I aim to review this story called Unwell, as I'm now up to date with it. Basically, just begging for an update. T.T
Chocolate Tea is my new invention (so yummy too). For my eighteenth I'll make all sorts of strange punch-like concoctions with no alcohol in them.. (heheh.. - thinking of my favourite right now... which I unfortunately can't make because I have no real orange juice >.<).. and perhaps I'll have a hot drink menu to satisfy the other crazy people like me.
Song I'm currently listening to sounds like 'Beautiful Soul' sung by a whiny adult man. : Not nice.. But I make myself listen to a song all the way through before I decide to do anything to it. And the stuff I'd get rid of is normally the background/acoustic sounding stuff people have compilations of or bring to YBS in their ipods. -.-'
Forgive me if I rather like the power in Requiem. XD
Sigh.. coffee coffee.... Fine, I'm going - and there's nothing you can do to stop me!
..Although I might try and convince myself I don't need/want any by the time I get up the stairs, and then I'll imagine Stephen is glaring at me and I'll feel guilty and.. coffeeeeeee!!!!
^_^; Leave her alone, folks. She's never quite herself.
And now that I know people have possibly read this, you can possibly comment and entertain me, or tell me off for having nasty addictive caffiene-drinking habits. Or watching too much funnily dubbed anime. Ha.

I Started Making Excuses
Is what we choose in life echoed or magnified in eternity?
I think the latter, but the former sounds cooler, and it's closer to the Gladiator rip.
So I did six pages of History Extension this morning. Yay.
I feel so behind on drama, yet I'm probably ahead. This is because I haven't written in my log for ages, but I have a plot. Unfortunately, in my head I think the play would last about 20 minutes, not the forty or so it needs to be.. Hmm.. Of course, I haven't tried writing it yet or anything, so I could be vastly wrong.
And I'm doubting that I'll have more than a paragraph written of my Ext. 2 short story major work.. Though I'm guessing I'll always be needing to do more research, and it'll never be sufficient for them..
Ooh, getting hungry again..
*sigh* I ate all the pasta. I could make some more.. Effort.. But I do like that chunky premade sauce..
Oh, my life revolves around food. This morning my mum told me off for my terrible habit of only coffee and chocolate. Excuse me if I want to make myself hungry for lunch and don't want to face nutri-grain before 12.30.
:( + :(
1. PLAN of seeing Valiant is failed, because I checked and those tickets are valid Tuesdays. I doubt I'd get lucky enough that the person doesn't check again.
2. I have homework. Michael and Rindi are laughing at me.
Now I just feel like bludging. Meh - who cares about those 25 books I have to read... Mroop >.<
I don't think I'll go to the Picnic on Friday. As Michael has no monies for even a train ticket. *sigh* ¶ 3:01 PM 0 Comments

Tonight has been a very productive on-the-computer night.
Done the Hot Chocolate Day flyer[1], organised seeing Valiant for free, talked to Dave G., having fun with James.. And I've done a load of other things I can't remember, of course :P
I'm listening to about 5 different versions of the classic 'All By Myself' that I illicitly acquired. Yes, come to my house and legally berate me. I'd rather be in jail than be fined.
Yes, I'm quite sure I would, thank you.
Addicted to You is being nominated for awards. *Shrugs* Except then I felt slightly bad for my zealous review, because I wasn't nice as I could have been. Oh well. We'll see in the next couple of days, if she does shout-out/review responses. Ah, it's all fun anyway.
Ok, I've got a lot of random fake rnb crap on my other computer. Hmm.. Yet I can't be bothered to delete (and I can be bothered to do this??).
Gah, I'll return.
: )

Moulting
Just because I pressed your 'On' button doesn't mean I made you real.
: James has been sending me daily Biblical stuff. Check this out:
[God] has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:19 and 20
Wow. O.O I love Corinthians. The last line is especially important to me right now.
So.... I've been off being reckless, right? No, just more procrastination. The "work" that I am doing today is typing up my Extension History Proposal (which should have been done about three months ago), maybe finishing reading a book, but I doubt it. I love sticking to the Plan. Well, I love it when my Plans work, anyway.
By the way, the title is a reference to my hair. *blinks* Yes.
I'm going to set up a yahoo photo album mostly to make it easier for myself, and I think it will be quicker uploading and viewing.
Sorting that out now...
I made a somewhat hilarious movie on Movie Maker (old school) yesterday. Fun times. Stephen thought that it didn't make much sense, and perhaps there were a few too many flying random cats, but I had fun.
I'll tell you what else is fun: keeping Veggie Tales songs on 'repeat'. For a long time. :)
Oh my. *shakes head and sighs at self*
And I've decided that Sims 2 is a bit complicated. In my day, it was a bit simpler. I think the Hot Date relationships bugged everyone a bit, but things certainly were easier to manage. Still fun, of course.
My recent fling at DMAG has yielded much anime. I've been through 2 DVDs so far. I watched the ones I thought would be good first. I might actually consider buying the next of them (instead of doing my usual and dling). Actually, it might be difficult to find on the net. I may just find them in China. *Snorts*
There was an Alan Rickman movie I really wanted to see, but the person who rec'ed it had to buy it over ebay or something. I'm just worried about area coding. And there's that problem of needed a credit card. yeah, I can prove that I have a reliable income of an annual $15, 000. :
I want one for internet purchases, such as $1 computer games off ebay that I want, but also Koorong so I can get stuff like Veggie Tales On The Road CD without having to hassle the mother or making the trip to West Ryde. Oh, to be more independent.
I can't imagine working in retail again, though. And I think I would find Pizza Hut Call Centre (the family) distressing and stressful 'cause I can't remove myself from the horribleness of angry people. It's all a hierarchy.
Currently going to be another half hour until Semi-formal photos are uploaded. Sigh. I guess I'll get to work on that work...
Everyone buy March DMAG! Which comes out the... 17th (?) of February? It's either that or the twentieth. I'm just not sure of Feb. and March issue in-store dates.
Oh, and something you won't find in DMAG:
This was something I researched for the Weird Science section of DMAG. I think my editor decided it was too much of the strange-animal-doings section, so this was scrapped. So, just a sample of the kind of stuff I write. Well, the short stuff, anyway. Oh - I think the actual problem was that they didn't have any photos handy and they weren't able to afford pictures for this issue.. Hmm...
Sensitive Teeth
by Lynette Ohye (<--- Yes, she has a real name!)
Are your teeth sometimes really sensitive to ice cream? Well, check out the narwhal whale – it has a 2.5 metre-long tooth that comes out of its head, making it look like a unicorn. Previously researchers thought the narwhal whale used its giant tooth as a weapon, but the real function is to sense surroundings. The narwhal has millions of tiny nerve endings on the tooth's outer surface, which tell the whale heaps of things about its environment, such as water salinity and temperature. This means that the whale knows when it's getting into freezing cold waters; this tooth is a real life saver.
*
Thoroughly unedited, of course, so don't get your hopes up about my being a terrible writer and of course you could do so much better and why wouldn't they hire you instead of me? Well, my boss likes me. *pokes tongue out*
And I'm recognised by the Managing Director of Australian Geographic. *pokes tongue out again* So there!
Heheh... (*rolls eyes at self and gets over herself again*)
...
When saying to myself "I don't really want to invite these people to my party", to others it might not seem like a question at all. But there're some people I feel that I have to invite, even though I would have more fun with other people. And it's mostly because they think they're invited. Why wouldn't they be?
Hm..
And there's my 'I like/trust the people I don't really know more'. And the psychoanalysis of that is all obvious, don't worry. But the people I'm not super close to (and I don't feel close to anyone except my best bookend Michael) I find so much easier and more fun to talk to. Ettalong, for example. OK, so I guess I know Sarah and B-rad and Dave G. pretty well.. But my other school friends who I've known ever since Yyear Seven camp... Meh. *Waves to James, if he's reading this* You're one of those 'good pal' types.
I should post some of our fun-yet-crazy "rp"-ing. The role-playing is in inverted commas because it's not what I would really call role-playing as such. Still, - I have nothing to add on to this sentence.
Shutup.
^_^
And guess what - she still hasn't started typing up that research proposal! Hmm.. *gets distracted by the thought of going and getting a drink of illicit soft drink* It's not even illicit.
Ta, sorry for the long post.

The Waking Eye
Just a quickie, I think, as I have to say goodbye to James who is in a very sci-fi RP-ing mood, and need to change into clothes for YBS.
I'll put up some pictures of Ettalong getaway.. Lots of fun.
Heh.. Rindi and Redheads...
Gah.. Going now.. Stupid waste of a post. :) Might take some drugs too. Or just sleep.

Some Kind of Maybe
You know what we said before about liking our pre-formal photos? I'm opting for the blurred one. :P
I've discovered another modern band I seem to appreciate (that does not harp to or harvest 80's rock beats) - Sugarcult. I bet they're really famous. I'm going off to do some more non-$1.69 downloading.
Ah - now we remember why we were smiling so badly in the unblurred photo - it was about the fiftieth one Michael's mother took and uhh.. We felt like we needed plastic surgery to keep our cheeks up.
I haven't asked him if I can put up his picture, so I took a little liberty with the editing. Our scanner also needs to be cleaned.

I've wiped the other photo and rescanned. Greyscale impending.

So, why don't I want to kill myself?
When I think about Snape, sometimes I wonder why he wants to keep living - what has he got going for him? I think it's something to do with cowardice. He's smarter than Lucius, he knows Voldie aint gonna give him everything. I believe Severus Snape doesn't want to be the coward Harry accuses him of.
You know how parents say something, then repeat it (in slightly different words), then check that you understand, and repeat themselves again? Ahh yes, Aint It Funny.
I've found a couple of good stories that I'm reading - the best current one being Hello Kitty by Endless Dark - http://www.fictionpress.com/read.php?storyid=1605643 I don't know why I give you these links. Oh well.
I really must press on with bothering to bring down the acceptable photo of myself (and Michael) to scan. Well, I think I can scan it.
Is Our Last Night a band?
I just got a review for a one-shot I wrote years ago, and I specifically stated it was the end. The poor reviewer was asking for an update. I think I'll make mention of its sort-of companion fic.
*Coughs lightly* So I was wrong; I didn't make it idiotically explicit. In fact, I only had the 'complete' toggled. I'm off to fix that.
. . .
:
Do I need mention how much I loathe Quick Edit?? Grr.. No author's note for me! Grr...
Actually, I even remember how much work it took to put in those extra spaces..
*Sigh* I'll just edit the summary.
I'm developing the habit of one who gives up. And it's so much easier.
But more annoying, I think.
When my mum asked my what I was losing sleep over, I responded 'school'. She assumed I was talking about the multitude of homework I have. Well, actually, not 'holiday school work' but 'school'. :)
Work tomorrow. I slept today instead. So I'm not allowing myself to stay up. Whoa. I haven't had any coffee today. Yes, now the addict must have gone crazy. So, in bed by 9 o'clock.
Oh dear.
I'm looking forward to going up to Ettalong - should be lots of fun. I think I'll enjoy the train ride (if it's air conditioned). ^_^
Turns up: His Cheeseburger
And now, in the beginnings of a tradition; another photo:

Run
How are things? Alright.
Oi.
I feel like getting out my electric gwitar. (And playing some Snow Patrol.) I played Eddy-kun's banjo yesterday. Taught myself Happy Birthday and fiddled around with a couple of other things I usually play.
I'm running out of time to do all my school work...
And with influence of 'Addicted to You', I have new ideas for Ext. 2. 1st person and 3rd person, ... I really should be writing this in my JOURNAL. But I haven't worked out a conflict yet. That really needs to be settled. Because that's my telling-someone-my-idea-and-they-think-it's-cool pivotal thing.
Grr.. Getting slightly annoyed at da_fam.
Sigh.
I'm going to play Civilization II with the CD. That will be exciting, of course.
Big Ohye finished the Half-Blood Prince (*weeps in the corner*) we'll have to discuss it much, of course. Maybe when I'm feeling he's being nicer to his friends. *Sigh*
Ten posts...
I can start advertising, following what I was originally going to do..
I'll try another picture. :)
[I don't even know what this is. Sectumsempra, perhaps? *twisted, ironical smile*]
Now I'm remembering AG workers talking about their ten word word limit for captions. Ha. I might seen them on Monday. Wednesday, if not. 'Cause Emily should be in then.
Ahh, I remember now. Or at least I think I do... Adelaide Blogs. *nods* That guy was cool. I want to go to all those side streets... ¶ 4:22 PM 0 Comments

'YES'! Optus
Yes, I'm still alive.
Well, there are some other people I believe dead because I haven't heard from them in a while.. (a while being not that long) And I mean 'dead' in the purely internet sense.
Or do I?
:P
I think the panadol is kicking in now.. Stupid something that was disguising itself as a headache. Or vice versa.
And I really don't like those Optus ads. It seems like they use the word 'seedy' because they really just couldn't think of anything that rhymed better (and maybe we could forgive them), but then they sing 'indeed-y'? *shakes head and sighs* You can imagine that tiredness is not the only contribution to the pains in my brain.
.
You know that 'nobody likes me everybody hates me, I think I'll go eat some worms'... Screw that. ^ ^

Furthering My Emotional Education
While the title may be a reference to Love Actually, this post isn't. In fact, emotions don't really have a part to play at all.
Today work was fine - finished that anime Studio Ghibli quiz - it only took me about 5 hours.. Did some 'boring work' of scanning in competition winner drawings. Did a 'What's Going On' for March... I made friends with AG (Australian Geographic) writers and editors, found the Chief Editor to be nice and she asked me if I was having fun. :P Kathy (an editor) has clung to the mistaken assumption that I'm on work experience (and I believe she's told others that), so maybe that's why I'm being forcefed sugar by them... No kidding; half a table of chocolate and lolly pops and many other things I've been told to eat all of and then start on the next lot. I happened to overhear Kathy (who is super nice) on a phone call saying she thought I wasn't sure if she was serious about being allowed to eat them... She said it rather loudly too.. I had already eaten a Freddo and a Caramello by then, but people were walking past the office so I hid the wrapper as now I wasn't convinced I was supposed to (but clearly I was). And later I felt like a pig too, as the Editor-in-Chief observed that I was doing a good job (Dee, I think her name is? Or is that the other lady..?), but DMAG's Nicole had helped out quite a bit. #.#
Quite a few people were scrummaging to the editor offices to get their sugar, while whining to each other about weight and New Year's resolutions. Kathy also ordered me to do my job faster/better ie. eat the chocolate. :)
I also got given a copy of Studio Ghibli's My Neighbours the Yamadas. I hope Stephen's happy. :P Ooh, here he is right now.
He's bored. He's singing "here we are now, entertain us". At least I'm not stupid and it's not contagious. And I'm not giving this computer up. He can plug the other one back in.
Unless he's taking it back to Lanville? *awaits reply*
He shakes his head (twice - appropriately), and laughing too lightly claims "no I'm not". But well, he's had about five hours of sleep in a .. couple of days and he looks as lanned-out as in Jonno's older photos.
I think these entries aren't that long, but I go and check them out ('View Blog' is such a handy little feature, don't you think? Imagining actually seeing the blog!) and they appear a tidbit lengthy.
And I've thought that Dorothy (my DMAG boss and its Editor) can read over my Extension 2 English major work short story and give pointers. Yay - outside pro help! (Now I can be just like everybody else. *cough* Heh.)
Today while working on my What's Going On thing, I became slightly distracted (I must confess) by the history of St. Patrick. Quite fascinating, to me anyway; the boy is enslaved to Irish pirates (arrr!) and ends up becoming the country's patron saint! Anyway, see the linkie linkie linkard (beware the music). Yes, I must must do that repet-repetition. It's like a song in my head. So there's a few good sites there.. The first link one tells you about his (possible) real name and those arrr! people. - http://www.manlwestss.eq.edu.au/webtrek/myweb10/st_patrick's_day.htm (You may have to copy the url as blogger currently doesn't like me.)
I'm currently conjointly reading 'Turning you into someone New' which is H/D funniness.. And on Fiction Press 'Addicted to You' - http://www.fictionpress.com/read.php?storyid=1881358 It's quite funny in parts, but I guess the personas and plot are a little addictive.
Ta,
Lenny.

Yes, I must must do that repet-repetition. It's like a song in my head. So there's a few good sites there.. The first link one tells you about his (possible) real name and those arrr! people. - http://www.manlwestss.eq.edu.au/webtrek/myweb10/st_patrick's_day.htm (You may have to copy the url as blogger currently doesn't like me.)
I'm currently conjointly reading 'Turning you into someone New' which is H/D funniness.. And on Fiction Press 'Addicted to You' - http://www.fictionpress.com/read.php?storyid=1881358 It's quite funny in parts, but I guess the personas and plot are a little addictive.
Ta,
Lenny.

Tomorrow brings love in the shape of things
I'm in a daze... a daze of JOY!
Actually, not quite. Lack of sleep/lack of ability to sleep and then working for 8 hours today... @.@
The title is lyrics of 'Funny How Love Is' by, of course, Queen. I've had a honkering to listen to Queen II for a few days.. Or is it hankering?
The end of my day was dampened a bit by the fact I hadn't really finished the Studio Ghibli Quiz.. And I feel that what I did of it wasn't a crash-hot (+ crash dummies) job. But it's hard making up questions on things I know not much about. Then I realise that the kids won't remember 1984 either, so maybe it's all fine... *Wrath* at Madman for not having trailers... *sigh*
An alternative title for today could be 'Shinsong'. Actually, I should post again just so I can have it in large bold hovering over my text :P
I'm thinking of changing my ff.net penname to Shinsong. Only because it sounds like a knife. I'm going to check that it isn't taken. But I might end up just posting my good fics/finished ones under that name.. I could become the next... umm.. ? That one Switchknife was dying in her recs for.
Hmm.. well it seems there are a few Paper companies and a place name.. I'll just check ff.net itself.. W00t! Oh yes, sometimes I can be quite 133t. Poot.
Hmm... Oooh.. *pokes stomach, which now seems hungry (it has been making horrible noises all day). I almost crave a Sustain milk popper. But I'd actually need to exercise to get rid of these chicken arms and get buff. Sigh with my immaturity again.
I suppose as Shinsong is a Korean place name (ie. not being Japanese and meaning anything in particular), I have all rights to it. ^_^
Internet nearly didn't work for me.. I mean this only so far as my brother stole away the main computer (which still has not regained my trust since the rest of my family wore out the video card) and I didn't know which plugs to put in. Luckily my own ingenuity and Digger resourcefulness kicked in (ie. my eyes) to figure out the second plug that needed to go in; Stephen had only mentioned one.
*interpretive dance* to White Queen (As It Began).
Oh, Best Played Backwards Queen Song :-
I am to believe that Another One Bites the Dust takes it all away..
Now don't go right ahead and steal Shinsong and pen away with it, kiddies.
Adding images to this blog is still in experimentation, as I can't seem to manipulate the template with what I want. ¶ 6:05 PM 0 Comments

No Regrets
I have already failed. *points to title*
Well, actually, no... Wait, yes.
I'm not regretting the fact that I stayed up last night and slept in today, but perhaps I will by the end of the holidays when I realise I still have most of my major works to do :)
I caught up a little on History Extension today.
Hmm.. I'm (re)reading Rousse' International Cuisine. Wanting to watch Silly Songs With Larry... Should be organising Sunday @ Seven... If I was Tegan, I would be telling her/me to just email Paul, the sooner the better... Sigh. Fine!
.
Done!
*grumbles something along the lines of 'hope you're happy'* ^_^
I've been investing my internet in finding some nice instrumental/classical/soundtrack -esque music. It's gooood.
Something that I'm aiming to do, and that I'd be doing in this blog, is making a list of my favourite Queen songs.. in categories. Such as; No. 1 Favourite, Best Long Song, Best Fun Song, Best Short Song, Best Makes-Me-Cry Song, Best Nonsensical Song, Best Sing-a-long Song... Etc.. And since Bohemian Rhapsody tops every category, it wins No. 1 Favourite and is excluded all elsewhere.
Hmm...
Best Long Queen Song (excluding Bohemian Rhapsody)
1. Innuendo
2. The Prophet's Song
Yes, maybe if I leave it to the top two or three, because otherwise I'll just get carried away... Oh! March of the Black Queen!!! ¶ 5:21 PM 0 Comments

Outside World
It's nearly tomorrow.. By the end of this post it will be. And then I can say that tomorrow I'm working. Yay for DMAG! I'm actually nervous about returning, though. Either because it's been so long, or there's a new worker, or maybe I just don't know what I'll be doing. And Dorothy (the Editor) hasn't replied to my email asking to change + lessen the dates I'm working...
Ahh well.
Tomorrow is tomorrow and tomorrow....
The thought of the outside world makes me ill. - Cybele's If You Are Prepared.
Actually, this is quite true. Part of me thought I was going to die the other night. The other part had already decided one of my friends was. We got through it. But I wasn't happy with it anyway. *sigh*
I love my new Refuel magazine Bible!! Ha ha! I can now further understand why James thinks it's so swanky.. (aside from the Girl Advice) I just want to pick it up and read! I'll take it on Friday night and let the others see what they think.. And ask Michael if that's the sort of thing he wants.. Hehhh... *coughs*
Oh dear. I had hoped to be sophisticated with this blog so I didn't get annoyed at myself later. Or think of the people who might read these entries...
Tomorrow is a day to pray for someone who has great influence in the world (Refuel tells me so)! :P
In the spirit of Movie!Filch,
Nighty night.
