All that's said and done, it doesn't quite matter anymore.

"Ah, Life was always good. It's up to you to see it."

2010 has been one heck of a year.

For starters, I've done a few things I never thought I would.

And found out new things.

Made new friends.

Made a few more people really angry.

But it's okay.

Even though they say I apologize way too much.

Even so, it's not like it was a bad year.

Though, maybe I should stop and think before I do some things.

Then again, where's the fun in that?

A lot has happened, as I'm sure people know.

But we'll have to see next year if it's even better.

It probably will be.

How do you cure a feeling of emptiness?

I don't know.

Hoping to see you next year/on the other side.

NYE NYE NYE

"Fireworks, the whole lot."

Hoping you see them.

Still nothing to do, but it's New Years soon.

"Now, now, be nice."

Honestly, the hostility you can get from people online is absurd. Why can't people be nicer?

Got one Christmas gift, TF2, from Lolghurt, which is awesome, despite not being able to play it, yet.

Thanks.

Hoping you had/have/are having, a better holiday/New Year/Christmas.

What if?

"I've changed someone's life forever. How many of you can say that?"

I'm not fuming, so much as not really wanting to write much.

And reverse racism, and old ladies stealing parking spots. Really, it's quite...maddening. In the angry sense, not the hopeless despair.

I think I'd know both apart. Maybe.

Hoping you have a nice...rest of December.

Fortunately or not?

"I really don't feel like it."

Hoping you all have fun. It's not long till school. Remember that.

Holidays is slowing down, it'll be over soon.

"So make the most of it."

Hoping you all have loads of fun during your holidays.

Christmas comes round, time and time and time again

"Of course, it doesn't really matter, but it's a good way of telling that a year has passed.."

Wait, a year has passed?! Lemme count what's happened.

A few camps
A few new friends
A few new discoveries

And lots more besides

I'm sure you have better feasts for this Christmas. We have a turkey to eat =O

Hoping you have the best Christmas you've ever had. Even though it's not white.

300!

"This. Is. MY BLOG!"

Yea, 300 posts.

That aside, Harvard, I doubt I can get that kind of tonal quality, but I can improvise. Given some time, and some idea of what I'd be doing, then I might be able to do it. Otherwise, you could always ask Happy Apple.

Unless they don't want to do it.

Luckily, I've started playing again for fun.

Hoping Christmas isn't too warm. The nights are. =(

inkorrect.

"That's not right."

Unfortunately, JM, that's not the solution they give in the book.

It is:

[X . sqrt(X + 1) + 2 . (X + 1)] / 2 . (X + 1)

I don't get how that's right. But the book has to be right.

Hoping I'll understand next year.

It's Christmas on Sat.

"6 snow white boomers."

Apparently, a famous song.

I'm still not really doing much. But I'm sure I'll manage.

Differentiate:

X . sqrt(X+1)

Can't seem to find the path to the solution given.

Hoping I get some help.

Smooth sailing till Christmas.

"Crash and Burn."

Well, looks like there's some nice movies out, but as usual, I think I'll wait till they come out on DVD or something like that. Maybe not DVD, cause it might become obsolete.

Speaking of which, I'm surprised PS2 games aren't now worth $2. I mean, the console is obsolete, and new games are now all on PS3 and the like, so I really don't see much reason as to why it's still $40+. Maybe they just want more profit. =(

Hoping you don't burn the house down with your "fairy" lights.

Erm, I did forget some people. Damn.

"Sorry about that."

Back on cue I guess.

JM: How could I forget you? Well, I did, but still. Thanks for how many years of being a best friend, a good friend, and a friend who was always there. In science. =) Unfortunately, we don't have any classes together, but I'm sure I'll see you around. It's not that hard to contact people, is it?

Anyway, that's All I wanted to write, really. Probably not going to edit my novel =P

Hoping you all don't forget that Christmas is expensive.

A few thing I didn't really think of 'till now.

"Be careful of those bisexual girls."

Advice from mother soon after learning about the breakup. Needless to say, it was a little shocking. Moral of this little story: They're not as 21st century ignorant as you might think they are.

Other than that, time for some Christmas themed stuff.

Renee: For the New Year, try to make that sleep plan stick, if it hasn't already.
And, uhm. No matter what, keep trying to convince people that Man vs. Wild is cool. Cause it probably is, and we're just lame.

Happy Apple: Same for you, sleep earlier, it wouldn't do for you to not laugh at my cool jokes (Y). But really, who sleeps at 2 and wakes up at 7? =O
And you're not as lame as you make yourself out to be.

AereasUltimateSuperChocolateyBobPage: Thanks for the cruelty, sometimes I needed it, but you might want to be a little tactful sometimes. Just incase you don't really want to make close friends with someone else's fist/knee/leg/etc.

Kael: Thanks for everything over the past whenever years (Too many to count.), don't change anything, you're great as it is. Study hard? (?)

Kram: You're not that bad of a person. Besides, people have tolerance. It's like give and take, but better. So...yea...you're great.

I think that's it.

Somehow, I don't think that I can ever stop pretending, to anyone. It's kinda weird. But that's just me.

Hoping you all have a happy Christmas, and stick to those Merry New Year Resolutions. Though, don't velcro yourself to your monitor. Use stick notes instead.

Still another few weeks.

"Disney-fied."

Still probably not going to be doing much, except thinking. And thinking.

Flash of inspiration!

Hoping you all have a nicer holiday.

Christmas?

"It's not really worth doing is it?"

You don't try, you just do it. There's a nice list of things NOT to do in a workplace, Ie; weasel words like "I'll try". Because it kinda implies and shows that you don't want to do it, or that you'll make a half-assed job out of it, and then say that you "tried your hardest". So don't ever do it.

Also, there was a nice brainwave about Snow White. I mean, Snow White is supposed to be "dead" but actually she's just sleeping, somehow. And then a bloody prince rocks up and kisses a DEAD princess. And she somehow comes back to life. Contrast that with Romeo and Juliet, where he doesn't kiss her and it's a mutual suicide. I dunno, but I think the former wins the day. Twisted moral in fairy floss: Necrophilia is the answer to all your problems.

Hoping I haven't misread anything.

Holidays, maths, more maths and holidays.

"Freeeeeeee."

Well, then, I'm sure you all have better things to do that read this blog.

(Excuse to not type. In case you didn't notice by then.)

Hoping you all have a nice holiday.

Well, the aftermath, which includes a yellow christmas and...

"Luckily, there wasn't any alcohol.
Waddya mean no alcohol?!"

Well, views all around, and I'm just here to pick up the pieces and the photos. Nice photos too.

Hoping you all like them. Esp. the ones with the guys in suits =O

Fantastically fantastic.

"A fanatic fanatic. You don't see those everyday."

So, it was an awesome night, though the only response I get when I ask "How was it?" seems to be either "good" or "mm good" or, in one case "good. good =) good =) =D" Still, it has to have been much better than "good" right? Haha.

Also, really loud music, but well within the decibel limit because we can still shout over it. Albeit, only if we strain ourselves. Other than that, a very good night to be had by all. Only wish that the people who didn't go, went. And those who went, told me how they thought the night was. =.= None of this "good" rubbish.

Other that that....what else. Erm, I've discovered a few things, a few things good and some bad, but it's ok. Revision?

Hoping you all did NOT have just a "good" night.

Aha, I was right.

"And as usual..."

I don't feel like writing, or editing, so I'll just see you all at 6PM

Hoping you're all coming. I wonder who isn't?

Pfft, so much hassle. Why can't I just stay home and sleep?

"Lazy~"

Went swimming today, but it wasn't all that great. Tiring, but ok.

Formal's tomorrow, I don't really care about it still. More anxious than not. Not sure whether I should be.

Hoping to see you all there.

Free, like the winter air.

"Unfortunately, it's Summer."

Tired, sitting,
Just thinking, as usual,
Nostalgia, and it's cohort, creep up from behind
Bite me.
It hurts.

No particular pattern, though you could try to analyse it. I'd prefer if you didn't. So, then, how's the holidays for you? Seniors!

Might be a few perks, but all in all, it doesn't really matter all that much.

Hoping you understand.

Haha! Last day of the year. Yes? No? Who cares?

"Just keep on smiling. Be of good cheer!"

So, summary of the day is in order, I think.

Spent the morning, talking with people, and having a laugh here and there. The best bit was Pro Filmmaker offering me candy canes saying "You need more candy canes?". Ah, that was funny.

Then came the ceremony, very ceremonious, but nothing much happened, I passed everything, (Duh.) but I need to not lose attention for next year. Hm. I think an analysis of seating arrangements and neural + social networks, as well as the physiology of this grade is in order. Just kidding, I would never do that. Well, maybe the seating arrangements. Nothing is chance.

"The selection of random numbers is too important to be left to chance."

Can't remember who said that. I love writing.

Past that, was some discussion, nostalgia, lots on my part, but I manage to stay happy. Smile lots, I suppose. Though some were a bit "sour", though I don't think they mind, either.

Past that... AM = Ante-meridian, and PM = Post-meridian, though I think you knew that. And anyway... Well, not really look forward to Monday, but I'm sure when I'll get there, I'll be happy. No, report, I am not quiet. Jeez. Also, something or other about how I'm actually supposed to be happy, but I'm not, and vice versa, but who cares. I don't even know myself that well. Oh well.

Hoping it all turns out to be fun and whatnot. Excuse the mannerisms.

Ah...looks like this is it...

"So then?"

Ok, well, I'm a little irked at having me moved tables, mainly because I wasn't notified until AFTER I was moved, but having said that, I like the new table, simply because I know people there. Sorta. At least, it'll have someone to talk to. Like Harvard!

Anyway, nothing else left, except to plan how to get my Gold Award in 2 years, and to get better at my subjects, and 2 games, and that's all I have time for, except manual labor. Which I always have time for.

Hoping you have a nice holiday. I mean it.

Over and over again.

"It's always a feeling of dread, regret and nostalgia."

Sometimes it's a big choking, but I get by. It's like a fog or mist or dust, but I'm sure it'll blow away eventually.

I haven't written a long post in a long time, for long windedness, so I shall now. Perhaps...

Today...

Being confused a lot, possibility of getting a bronze award in engineering tomorrow, and I was doing data entry. Apparently, I'm quite fast at that kind of thing, so when I'm in Uni, I might just get a job in data entry. =)

Other than that, I'm missing out on Jap => No SC, but that's ok, because Bronze Award > SC. Besides, we're not doing anything in Jap anyway. I've had a look at SC2, and I really want to own it, and play it at home, but it's not going to happen anytime soon. Oh well..

Math. Absolute chaos, but we manage to get nothing done, and play a little SC. Did you know that people think that static defence is the best offence? Honestly... It doesn't move. Also, they don't want to play me for some strange reason. I can't quite figure it out...[/wry]

English...? Pfft, I, Robot. You know how it goes. Don't do much there either.

Science? What's that? Nah, we're watching something that every other class is supposed to have watched, but you know, that's how it goes.

Sport? Interesting, to say the least. I mean, do you usually play tip with someone who's supposed to be invisible to you, and you to them? It makes for one hell of a ride.

So, it's an interesting day, and a beautiful life, but... well, sometimes there just might be more. I'm anxious to see the holidays. Somehow, I don't want to go to the formal, anymore than I wanted to go to camp, before camp, but I'm sure that'll resolve itself, just like with camp. Still, it's a little dark, but I love the dark. How conflicting.

Hoping...you have a merry new year and a happy Christmas.

Magical....

"It's some magical magic magicmabob."

Time's always a tickin'
Time's always running out
But what are you going to do?

Nothing, that's what.

We demand additional time.

Hoping I get my wish.

Never really totally prepared.

"Ahaha..."

So, stuff's coming up, functions, formals, and all the jazz. But, I don't think I'm ready. Who cares? I certainly should, but don't.

Hoping you all have fun.

Time.

"I never have enough time..."

So, don't I. Want to play clarinet, too. Hope I haven't forgot everything...

Hoping you have a nice holiday, when it comes round. 6 Weeks!

It's just another day.

"This year... It's New Years soon."

Well, the most interesting year so far for me, and I have lots to show for it, if I really try and find something. If you look, you'll find something, always.

Hoping you do too.

I still don't know what I am.

"Who knows, who cares? Who really wants to find out?"

So, I still have no idea, and it's not like those "find out your personality!" things do one ounce of good, because they conflict, so, I don't know. I care, but I don't know.

In any case, it's coming to the end of the year. Yay. Ahaha...end of year celebrations...PARTY. Science, that is. SO, don't forget.

Hoping I remember. In fact, I'll pack it now.

What am I?

"Have you ever had that feeling that you weren't you?

No, I am me, and that's all that matters"

I have no idea what I am, personality wise. Am I pretending to be X, Y, Z, or is it really me? Or, is it, that I'm pretending to be pretending, hence, double bluff, and actually telling the truth, or just being me?

I have no idea. I don't think I ever will. I wonder, because I don't know what I'd do in, X, Y, Z, so I don't put my hand up when people ask that.

Hoping someone knows.

Sometimes... I wonder.

"If it's not my fault, then whose is it?"

Really, it's just two things I want to put down. One, insensitive asses who care about nothing but their own little popularity contest, and having useless bits of knowledge, all in a quest for gossip to become the "gossip lord", as I think they call it.

Two. I wonder if everything that went wrong, was just my fault, or someone else's or no-one's at all. It's wonderous indeed.

Hoping it all works out.

WINNER!

"Congratulations!"

I finally finished, and with a day left! Yay. Time to waste my time playing games!

Hoping we all finish on time.

Almost there.

"Sneaky bastard."

I hope my letters haven't been scrunched up and chucked into bins without being read, but then again, I'm just so sneaky. Still. I hope people read them. Hm. Sneak sneak sneak.

Hoping people do read them. Also, I'm almost done! 48.5k

Math is challenging to say the least.

"I should be at 46k by today, if not, more."

Nothing much to say, except that I need to write those letters, and then send them in the sneakiest way possible, so that they're like "WHOA. LETTER. YAY." except, more silent and stuff. You know...?

I'm sure you do.

Hoping they are surprised as I imagine they'd be.

A few things learned on the road less travelled.

"No, you're doing it wrong. No, YOU'RE doing it wrong."

1.I've got an abrasive personality, but I don't seem to be polishing others. So much for sandpaper.
2.The beach is cool. If a bit of a hassle to clean up later, what with the salty water.
3.You don't have to and shouldn't listen to everything everyone says
4.Dreams are scary, regardless of whether they're nightmares or not

Hoping people see. I might add tomorrow.

Thanks to all. Camp!

"Thanks to all."

For the letters, I thank you. I didn't expect to have any letters, so maybe, if you were disappointed that I didn't send any, it's probably because I didn't expect to get any. Which is selfish, and I'm sorry. So I'll rectify that sometime. You'll see. Maybe.

I'll write a detailed omni-account-journal-thing, when December rolls around, and just in time for Crimbo and whatever, and I hope I remember this year. For now, I just want to finish NaNoWriMo, and then never do it ever again. I hate writing with a long long purpose/goal. 1000-2000 words per work is enough.

So, I hope you had a great camp. I liked mine.

Hoping for some sleep.

Caaaamp.

"Honestly now.."

Who's ready? Raise your hands? Ok, those who have their hands up are so lying. How could you possibly be ready. That aside...

I suppose it'll be good. And I have 12k words to wrap up an excuse plot. Yay.

Hoping I can get up to the word count tonight.

Time to do stuff.

"Functions, etc."

Camp camp camp.

Hoping I'm ready.

Bah...

"No time, no time."

2 or 3 days behind. Whatever. Need to write.

Hoping I can make the 30 days.

Escapism is very powerful.

"Weapon or no, I really can't be bothered."

Now, first things first. I haven't really had much time to be writing these posts, but really, it's not like I need to be. Secondly, it's a weekend. Whatever.

And, gaming is just another thing to do to stop me from being bored. Really, there's a lot to do at home, and nothing elsewhere. Or at least, that's how I see it.

1.NaNoWriMo
2.HW/Math (Extra math, that is. HW is usually very easy/very fast to complete.)
3.Gardening (Weeding, sweeping, planting, etc. Why the hell would you play farmville when you can do it in your backyard?)
4.Cleaning (Self-explanatory)
5.Gaming (To fill up the rest of the time, and to make it seem like I have no time for the other 4. But I do. Just not much motivation, sometimes.)

So there you have it.

Hoping you read it. Maybe.

Who really cares?

"Well..now what?"

Nothing much to do, except play games and do homework for the rest of the year. Really not looking forward to camp..Ugh.

Hoping it's ok.

Haha...Oh well.

"I'm inexplicably happy."

So how was your day compared to mine? Any better? I'd hope so.

Hoping I'm wrong.

Four stages of grief

"Denial, Depression, Anger, Acceptance."

1.I'll be fine, don't worry
2.Funny thing is, I'm already at acceptance =?

So, I'm sure most/all are aware, I don't really mind either, things are still going to be the same, I'll manage, yada yada. There's always things to be done. Though, I have 2 days to decide whether or not to actually pay for the formal. Decisions, decisions.

So yea. Recap, I'm fine. Now leave me alone. (Just warding off any cheap sympathy. Like painting my personal house-bubble red. So that no-one comes near bearing crap gifts. Like death!)

Anyway...

Hoping to finish this NaNoWriMo. I've certainly had an interesting November. Inspiration galore!

Hope...and dreams.

"Dreamt is the only word with the ending -mt"

Understandably, I don't know what to do.

And no, you're not that terrible at SC Kram, you just need to play more. And will people stop using those arrow keys? You don't use them for anything else, so why now?

Hoping people understand.

To make up for yesterday/night/noon

"Well...not really."

Noon party, more of a barbecue, quite nice, small, it did rain though, and that sucked. Also very humid and hot. Not too good.

Night party...It was ok, but I didn't really like it all that much. Still, I can't really complain cause that'd be impolite, stupid, and not going to get anywhere with anything. Oh well. Beauty and the Beast + HP1 + Mario Kart Wii + SSBB Wii. I think.

Moral of any story is, if it can move, it's better than if it can't. Even if the latter has more guns.

Hoping people learn. Eventually. Still disappointed though.

So behind, again

"Go watch TV or something"

So I'm behind again, this time by about 3000 words, but I'll make it up. Eventually.

Hoping I do.

Computing skills? Haha...

"Laughable!"

Ok, so maybe it wasn't that "easy" according to some, but if I can walk out before the halfway mark, then so can you! Well, depends on your degree of competency and all, but still, I mean it. Mostly.

Anyway, time to write, and do math. How to do Log? Time to think.

Hoping I don't fail the test.

Well, you'll only know from the outside.

"Deja vu.."

Do you ever get that feeling that things are repeated, but with different variables, people, places? Just the same general idea. I do. Sometimes.

Hoping I can write about it.

Freeee, but so behind.

"Grack, 800+ words."

So, I'm trying to make up for it somehow. Just not having the inspiration. Actually, maybe I can fit in more text types or something into it. Though I AM 1/5 of the way into the novel. Whatever, it'll do.

I can edit the crap out later. Maybe.

Hoping I can keep up.

Last days...

"One more, no more."

Make sure you don't forget your math. The formulae are there, though.

Hoping we all do well.

School Ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeert.

"Try your best!"

Just make sure you try for this test. You don't want to fail it, in other words.

Hoping no-one actually brings a pillow to the test.

So....what to do...

"I spent all day doing geo, history and nanowrimo, plus a little on the side"

Who knows. Maybe it won't be so hard. But I really want to actually pass history. Maybe if I actually put some effort into it, it might have been good. It's not as boring as it seems, when I'm at home, just researching.

Hoping we all do well.

Wait, hold on...

"Yes."

I did ask, "Do you mind?" but, I'm assuming, from the way you didn't shoo me out of the seat that you really meant "No, I don't mind.". Either way, it's quite ok. What's not ok is the weird substitute we had, and really, it seems that people are sometimes surprised by the output of nonsense I can make, when I'm typing. Mainly because I can type ~40-50 WPM or close to it, if I'm actually thinking, and if I'm not, then maybe a little more.In any case, Happy Apple, you write way more than I could if I weren't typing, which is just as well, because, well, I'm not hand-writing it.

In any case, school cert is coming round, I'm not any the happier about it. Even if it might be easy.So, who want's to have a mini-quiz thing, taking turns to ask questions?

Anyway...No classes on Mon and Tues, and 3/4 classes on Wednesday...plus a loan laptop. Which is nice, but I think I prefer my own one with a worn out cover, but that's the charm of it, really.

Hoping we all do well.

School cert's online.

"I'll take that as a "yes""

You didn't really answer my question, so I'll ask again for the sake of it.
Happy Apple, mind if I sit next to you in English?

Anyway, you'd be fairly surprised at the amount of confessions that go on within this grade, and myself included, if just, the amount of rejections that happen. No names, as usual, so go dig your own info, but just something to think about. Maybe it's just the gender imbalance =/

And the school cert is soon. Thought my parents have been bugging me about the Physics NQE Participation Cert. all I can really say is "Well, I've never done it before...so...."

Hoping it all sets itself out.

Probably one of the worser days.

"We are not amused." - Overused, but I quite like it.

Got lectured at in English, as part of a group lecture, which isn't exactly what I'm used to, but it works all the same. So, Happy Apple, mind if I sit next to you? No, nothing big going on, I just need some quiet time is all.

Additionally, how does one go about an apology to a group of people? I have an idea, but I'm not sure if Poetry Loving Doctor would approve. Who knows, though.

On top of that, there is an epidemic sweeping the grade, and furthermore, people are being pulled out of class. Madness!

Tomorrow is Thursday...isn't it?

I really don't want to do anything for Engineering though. Maybe I'll finish my dynamo, and chance it with Chupa-chup Loving Croatian Carpenter. Who knows...

5002, 1 word over the target for today, but still, all is well. As well as I could hope. Sometimes, it's the downer moments that turn out to be the most needed. And as much as I hate them, I know that they're there to help me, not to kick me around. Which are what lectures are for, really.

Math is a tad boring, school cert for math is a drag, and I hope you can now see why English is so much better. So, I can do the math, but English is so much more...alive? Best way to put it, really. Compare the questions and time limit for both the English and Math SC, and you'll see why. I'm really tempted to bring a small pillow for the Math SC. At least there's no chance of not "tak(e)[ing] the English School Cert seriously" (I think that's how you do it.)

Anyway.

Hoping the doctor isn't too angry on Friday.

NaNoWriMo

"Gogogo"

All you could ever want. But I'm behind...hm..

Hoping I can catchup.

Rainy rainy NaNoWriMo

"Who the heck asks "Can you swim?"?!"

So...we start hm? 1667 words a day, can you keep up?

Hoping we all can.

School's back

"Still just as boring.."

Freeeeeeee. Nothing to do except school cert. Whatever.

Hoping it's not too stressing.

For all that matters..

"Hot, and bothered."

Stuff breaks, even after a long time, but it doesn't matter, because then they get replaced.

To keep it short, a hot-mild halloween's eve. Then again, it IS a saturday. And, 13/15 i'm happy with but definitely not 11/15. It would seem that I was one of those "making crude assumptions about Indigenous people", when really, it was just poorly worded. So it seemed like it. If I had just put "stereotype" once or twice....Oh well. Next time. At least with Poetry/Shakespeare, no such thing CAN happen.

Hoping I do well next year.

Up, down, twist?

"A few things..."

1.NanoWriMo
2.English Essays
3.Distinction in Chem NQE, Part in Phys


1.I have an idea, and I might as well run with it. Though, someone challenged me to write a horror story.

2.11 and 13. Not the best, but not too bad either. Could be better....=/

3.Yay for chem distinction. I spent more time on Physics though >_>

Hoping the rest of the year is as easy.

We're freeeee.

"Nothing left, really."

So, speaking task over and done with, a sort of crappy mark, but I don't really mind. It's all good. Means a lot of doing nothing for the rest of the year. Yay.

Hoping it's good.

SPEAKING TEST AND OR TASK!!

"WARNING. WARNING. POSSUMS INVADING."

Task, written my speech in english, as we're supposed to, gonna translate when I get there. I just need to read what I have, then translate.

Hoping it all works out.

So...what's there to really do?

"You'll get an N notice."

School cert's in a few weeks, so be warned and prepared and all. IIRC, math is 2hrs for ~60 questions. So....erm...think year 8 level. You were warned.


Hoping it comes to pass. Camp! Oh and pay for blazers, will you?

Ahaha...

"Speaking task on Thursday"

It's not quite over, but at least the bulk of it is. I still don't feel like doing it though.

Hoping it's ok.

Jap test...

"If you say "desu" enough, you might turn Japanese!" - Various.

Anyway, yea, there's a speaking task on Thursday. I want to do well, but I don't feel like doing much for it. Kinda makes me feel bad.

Oh well..

Hoping I do do alright.

Quite a nice night, really.

"Spring Flung."

Indeed.

For 10, you get fireworks and lasers, Ben with his inventions and a whole lot of other stuff you might see in a video sometime. Maybe. So really, a very good night to be at. For me anyway.

There was a lot of "Hey, guard the damned money" and teachers and their kids and stuff, but all was well. And, did you know that the TLC can become quite a sauna? I didn't.

In fact, you don't really do much, unless you want to, so I suppose it's all up to you.

Hoping people agree.

How damn unreliable

"And you pride in having good service? Ha."

Not really good/well, but no-one cares.

Hoping everything goes as well as it can, because failed plans are useless plans.

So then...

"I guess not. Hmm?"

Erm...engineering report needs to be done sometime, so...I'll start, but not finish. Duh. But no-one knows when it's due so..

Anyway,

Hoping everyone has "fun" on Friday, y'now?

A trade, one way or another.

"It's awesome"

I just noticed that there are frog eggs in a small pond in the backyard full of algae. That is all.

Hoping they hatch soon.

New stuff. Again.

"5 chairs and a really large table. Now what?"

Ahah...cheap cheap stuff, ie; 96% markoff on average cause the company wanted to give away the stuff. Sorta. Taking up space.

Ah...such a nice weekend start.

Hoping it'll be fun.

The best things...

"Come to those who wait."

Y'now what? Maybe I'll try the NaNoWriMo. Probably because I have nothing better to do. And because maybe I WILL turn my headings into "poetry"...Maybe. Let's see how it works out, eh?

Oh, and be patient. It always works.

Engineering...near done, but I need to bend my "sails" into the right angle for awesome. Which of course means, trial and error. Or maybe just trial, cause I can't unbend it. Should be good and deadl- I mean, erm...good at air-cutting when I'm done. Obviously for maximum energy transfer.

Hoping it works. Yay.

Not much..hmm?

"Who really cares?"

Sailing....with lots of stuff to do.

Hoping it's going to be fun.

Nothing much, as usual, really...

"Hmm..."

Again...well yearlies are over, yay.

Hoping it's all smooth from here.

Great...another day.

"Booooring."

Math..this time I only ran out time, just. So all is well, and I think Cosine Alpha was 2/sqrt(5). I think. I got the decimal answer then played around with root, fractions and constants till I got that answer...hmm..

History..
do
not
like.

It was really boring, and I couldn't be bothered to write more than the given lines.

Same with geography...oh well.

Hoping PD won't be half as boring.

Back to square 4, hmm?

"And here we go..."

Again, another term, but this one promises to be lazy, and I like that, don't you? Me too.

Anyway...need to pay for sport. Hmm...

Hoping for warmer weather.

A first in a while I suppose.

"That which can be made explicit to the idiot is not worth my time" - William Blake

I suppose the weirdest inspiration comes from somewhere, and that somewhere is sitting in a McDonalds restaurant listening to the world, I suppose.

Firstly is the newspaper. It has a story about how food prices are set to rise as the Government "saves the environment" and the restriction of the use of the Murray-Darling. Hence, this is the perfect opportunity to say "Hey environmentalists, still care about the environment so much that you now have to pay 1.5x more taxes and living costs for it?" Secondly, maybe it's just my household, but we don't use home heating. It's just, wear more clothes. It's not that much of a hassle, really....

Third, the age barrier. It exists for everything, and yet no-one really cares for it. Or do they? How many 9 year olds have you seen with facebook? It's quite ridiculous. Similarly is the notion of Ipod Touch-es in the hands of 7 year olds. Quite preposterous. And adults are worried about paedophiles...so much so that they need to "spoil" their children..hmm? Indeed.

Fourth is the writer of "Free Range Kids". Go google her and try to find the 7:30 report interview a little while back.

Anyway...

Hoping for the best, preparing for the worst.

Haha...

"So long, hmm?"

Maybe I don't really make sense to a lot of people, but that's fine by me.

Hoping no-one really cares, either.

Finished!

"Done.."

80 minutes, I can write two essays. Whether they're good or not remains to be seen.

So who wants to read them? Ie; wants, wants, not because I've "convinced" them.

Hoping I can plan everything out on the day.

So...who wants to?

"I mean, really."

I'm going to be writing two essays tomorrow in 80 minutes. So try not to disturb me in the morning.

On a side note, who wants to read them? I'll re-type them after I write them down. With planning, ofc.

Hoping someone does.

I could...but...

"Write a practice essay?"

Maybe I shall. Maybe..I shalln't (?) or is it shan't? Hmm. In any case, science and english on the first day hmm.

I need to get on moodle for the syllabuses.

Explain how a basic AC generator operates.

Hence or otherwise, explain how a basic DC generator operates.

Similarly, explain how an electric bell operates.

Define "force".

Develop a thesis using the quote "deus ex machine".

I actually don't know if we need to know how a DC generator works.

Hoping I can think of more.

Ah, looks like it's time to really start.

"Studying 'n all"

So due to some chain of events, my netbook is out of action for a bit, and so I will be studying. From now. Looking at the timetable, it's English + Science on day one..which also means no PE. Secondly...well there isn't. Now..

I guess it's time to read the book.

Hoping it works out ok.

Well, how poetic can it get?

"The proof of the pudding is in the eating."

I just wanted to share that one.

Plus, how poetic is it really? =O

Hoping I get some answers.

Always nothing.

"Just as well"

Just as boring. Quiet and all.

Hoping..

Fixing, moving..

"Here's a riddle: When is a croquet mallet like a billy club? I'll tell you: whenever you want it to be. "

So, my room got renovated and it's now got shelves, so everything can go on those instead of on the desk. Which frees up a load of space.

Also, I think I have 45 of those merit things. So that's what...2 Bronze? Poop.

Here's another: Why do people still use drugs in sport?

Hoping for an answer.

Let's begin.

"52 pickup is a staple of juvenile humor. But when the deck slices and dices, it is no laughing matter. "

Again, nothing much, I suppose. Quiet days. It's quite nice.

Hoping for more days like this one.

As usual...

"Nothing much."

And again. Except this time I have a new keyboard which is really cool.

Hoping for a quiet holiday.

New Acquisitions.

"4 Monitors, a tv, a desktop hard drive and some cables"

Quite a load of buying today, but it was a great bargain so, all is well.

EDIT: I saw a no parking sign which said "Police Accepted".

Got my plants vs zombies working again. Yay.

There was some guy who looked about uni age wearing a black beanie. When it was ~30 degrees centigrade. Talk about suffering for fashion.

Hoping not everyday is as hectic and hot as this one.

Holidays!

"Apparently you heard wrong."

It's holidays which means I probably won't be posting really big posts on this site, however, don't always believe what you hear. As for what happens on Thursdays, lots of bad stuff, usually.

Hoping you have a good holiday too.

Near miss.

"Won't you change your mind? No."

I can bet you quite a fair bit that next Thursday won't be uneventful. There is ALWAYS something going on on a Thursday. It's crazy. And is quite disheartening, especially today.

Last day of schoool.?!

Hoping that I do get that part-time job placement.

A few days to the holidays.

"That was unexpected"

Not really in the mood, nor have the time to be writing something lengthy.

Geography assignments needs expanding, then printing.

Hoping no-one falls sick tomorrow.

I'm stupid?

"Somethings are better left unsaid."

Sometimes people need to know when to shut their damned mouths. Commenting on the insanity of friends for your own personal gain is a great way to inflame anyone involved, and if it's with permission, then said person should be allowed to make the judgment of whether to share or not, not you. It's infuriating to think that I might call such a person "friend". If only I didn't try to be so tolerant. Actually, I don't know anymore.

Short...hmm

Hoping I don't die of anger.

Somehow, it doesn't really matter.

"So much for uneventful."

Sigh. If only. I hate sport.

Hoping for a better tomorrow.

Who knows, who cares?

"It's unfair."

Really, balancing things is all that really matters. For instance, Geo assignment and yearlies studying. Which, by the by, is what I'm sorta doing. A little of both.

1.What are the 5 Nitrogen Bases in Codons in DNA (5 marks)
2.Describe the process of Decomposition of flora and/or fauna matter (3 marks)
3.Explain the theory of plate tectonics, including why it happens (3 marks)
4.Explain why the Greenhouse Effect/Global Warming is a big issue (4 marks)
5.Explain why, in a "perfect world", all humans would be vegetarians (5 marks)

EDIT:
6.Explain how and/or why alkaline substances can still be harmful (2 marks)
7.Explain with an example why harmless alkaline substances may be slippery (2 marks)

Make sure you don't leave anything out. Oh and the scoring may not be that accurate, so I'll just guess. I'd be glad to hear some answers and some questions.

Aside from that, is human rights legislation, in geo. Which should be able to be done "in one night". Though, I don't quite trust that.

Hoping Thursday will be uneventful.

You can't just be general

"That's cruel."

Firstly, welcome Kiss_Bliss. I didn't notice you followed this little patch of...space, earlier. Oh well.

Secondly, Prefects...I will nominate myself, but I don't care if I do get "in", nor care about promoting myself. If it happens fine, but..well, maybe I'll change my mind next year. Who knows, who cares? I don't really like leading, either, but it doesn't matter either.

Thirdly, gradelove. A neat idea, which seems to be working, but, the internet hides sarcasm, hence, it can be a bit degrading...well. Just a small thought really. Especially, if someone comments on something you want to hide, in a "positive" manner and on a place like that which reduces emotion and/or veracity.

Fourth, I do hope my speech and non-calc and science exam aren't going to come back too bad.

Hoping it doesn't rain tomorrow.

Back to scratch.

"Teach them human."

Oh well. Nothing much to say or do here, as per the norm, really.

Oh, then that makes 2 people defeated thoroughly.

Hoping I get to challenge more people to a good game of SC.

Unfortunately..

"She's disappeared.."

And we lapse back into more old games, and newer games by the same company. As one puts it:

"So, half the people are playing PVZ and the other half are playing Starcraft"

to which one other says:

"PVZ?! I know PVZ! Forge First Fast Expand!"

Anyway, it's quite a disappointing day today, besides beating a certain newbie 3 times in a row. I swear, it's always a Thursday that she's "sick"

Hoping it doesn't happen next Thursday.

And this is why some ideas are quite neat.

"(Name omitted, but it's me.), no matter how many times I slap you, I hope you know that you are my friend. You are one of the few people I can relate to, share my feelings with... or just have a chat with comfortably. But please drink less milk; your bones hurt my side."

So despite it all, I do have a few friends here and there, and so, I'm content.

Hoping it doesn't change for the worse.

Realisations, 1,2,3.?

"You use punctuation waaaay too much .?#*&&#$@??" - David

1.Religious (Read: Catholic) debate in my head
2.Gradelove, what?

1a.God is either flawed, or incomplete, if we take it from whatever sources we have (eg. Bible)

There are few sources, and what there are, they were produced by humans. Humans are flawed. Thus, either God, if it is a creation of humans, is flawed, or the accounts of his miraculous powers are flawed/incomplete/half-burned. Same with Jesus, but then again, this is also true of any history, I suppose


1b. God is on par with homosexuals, if you want to go into that debate. Quite an injustice really.

For those "minority groups" who believe that homosexuality is "unnatural" and that the "Bible says it's bad", think about this. (Or tell them this.) The most famous story in the Bible is about Jesus' birth. Now, being an atheist, I could be wrong about some minor detail or another, but God essentially tells Mary that she's gonna give birth to a super-man-thing. Joseph, her husband, hasn't touched her yet. However, in some unknown amount of time (to me anyway), she does give birth to this super-man-thing-alchemist-priest-healer without so much as reproduction. So either Joseph has been doing something the Bible didn't document (unlikely), or God has been reproducing by spores and/or magic laser beams. Oh, right. Jesus is explicitly stated to be "God's son". Something or other. Right. Which means God is unnatural, and by the viewpoint of these extremists, should be burned at the stake and whatever, by "God's will", etc. etc. Then again....If God is "otherworldly" then, he can't be "natural" but...He did make stuff "in his image" therefore, by extension if a man and a woman love each other veeery much and.....go out for some "cake" then God must be "natural", which he isn't.

1c. Heaven doesn't exist (Provided by Christine)

Okay, say a girl loves some guy and/or girl very much, they mean to world to said person, etc, and then suddenly die, skipping the Game and going straight to "Heaven", and the other person/s is/are still alive, then, you have 2 scenarios

a. The loved one isn't in heaven with them, cause they're still alive
b. The loved one is replicated and put into the heaven

Take your pick.

Route A means that it's not truly "heaven" for that person, and because, the Bible and all that promotes love between a man and a woman and all that, you can't have someone who won't have that special one. Route B means that you have a fake.

Take your pick.

Anyway, something I thought of when I woke up today and didn't feel like getting up.

2.I don't care who is doing it, it's quite a neat idea, and they're fairly brave. Besides, it's working.

Hoping I'm not terribly wrong, and/or I am wrong and/or you correct me, so that we have talk it over/duke it out with fists over some tea/in an arena.

Wishy washy, and still with strong opinions.

"So when someone like me comes along and throws down a glove...." - Chris (Tine)

There's a lot going through my mind, but when I try to get something to type down, nothing comes. So, it's probably the same as always, except that people printed their speech in its entirety in small font, which is fairly counter-intuitive, because you'd have to read it to know where you're up to, unless you're well-prepared, hence you don't need the whole thing on paper.

Anyway.

Hoping for the best, preparing for the worst.

Speeeeeeeeeeeeeech.

"I'm glad I can actually write about this person, because they're not in my class."

1.Speech
2.Science
3.Math Non-calc
4.Geo
5.Yearlies

I think that's the order. And my speech is probably really boring, but I'm just glad I have something to write about, really. Oh, and I'm gonna hand-write my palm cards a few times tomorrow. Just so I can have a "back-up" or a "better" set, just in case. Plus, I like writing down stuff on tiny bits of paper.

Hoping no-one fails, or misses out, or doesn't finish in time, etc.

Speech

"So early!"

If you're going to type up your palm cards, I'd suggest 3-4 columns instead of just 2, so that they fit into your hand, instead of flopping out everywhere. Remember, you still need to gesture once in a while.

Think of it like you're talking to someone. And not a whole bunch of unresponsive nobodies.

In any other case, it's just another Saturday. Time to finish the science and geography, I suppose.

Hoping it doesn't rain for the next week. At least, not where I am.

Adverse reactions.

"Just like anaphylaxis!"

1.It's more embarrassing than offensive.
2.There's long pork on the menu. Maybe not, but something close to it. Grilling, frying, take your pick.
3.Help stop this monstrosity! All you have to do is put down your name for nothing.

So do help.

Hoping you listen.

It's thursday already?!

"Well...a little per day?"

So there's a speech to practice, and I should get started. But first a few things.

1. 20/20 for Engineering report. Yay.
2. Chem Quiz HD. Yay.

My room is so messy, but it doesn't really matter, anyway.

So, math Non-calc + Science + Geo + English. Fun!

Hoping I don't fail any of it.

Another fairly lazy wednesday.

"56 sugar cubes."

So we get to school the normal way, by bus, and then upon arriving at school, I get a fist shaken in my face. Which is pretty explanatory, but they don't really wanna kill me or anything. So it's fine, I suppose.

Though, I do hope that I can go to one event or another. Sigh.

For engineering...who doesn't think that a penguin is the way to go?

Also, for the english speech. I've heard that people don't like how open it is...but the whole point is to give people the freedom to convince the audience on anything. Which can't be too hard right?

Hoping I can finish it on time.

If you could have the any power, what would it be?

"Emotions?"

Another day, quite boring. Almost went to Parramatta, wrong bus, etc. etc. Still, I ended up in Epping cause I caught the other one. Just goes to show you still have to pay attention.


Special things happen to special people. Oh, and realism, yada yada yada. Etc. Although...well, nothing really much to say, except that I think I might get jealous quite easily. We'll see.

Hoping for a reverse.

Not such a happy day. Or a Glory Day.

"1,2,3..."

1.Left jacket at school. Bad. Angry.
2.Stephen Hawking's shiny new book.

1.I'm not quite angry because I won't ever see it again, per se, it's just the fact of losing something for a little while. Doesn't quite make sense, but then again, sometimes the smallest details make me angry. Then I realise I've overreacted.

2.New book. God =/= Nothing, in his words. Which is just another view, but I don't see how people can degrade him just because he's made a valid statement, backed up with testing with our (humanity's) limited scope of knowledge. The way I see it..Science = based on observations, tests and experiments, not quite complete, but the best we have to "truth". Faith = explain anything which can't be explained as of yet, which leads to massive problems if tried to be applied to real world on a small scale. Larger scale, fine. By small scale, I mean, divorces, illness, criminals, etc. I have no doubt that the ass who said something along the lines of "Oh, he doesn't have faith, no wonder he's so sick" would no doubt sign up for some "life saving" surgery/medication, if backed into the corner. I don't think they'd be saying the same thing if their son/daughter(s) were born with one defect or another.

Probably irrationally angry. Again. No, I can't calm down, as of yet.

Hoping for the day when people would stop being so hypocritical and shocked when they are challenged.

Essay essay essay?

"Just don't "try""

Essay to finish, so limited time for posting, etc. etc. I'm sure you understand.

Hoping it gets a good mark.

If wishes were fishes, we'd be in a sea.

"If I gave you the key to anywhere, anytime, where would it lead you?"

Sometimes I can get terribly irritated and then it turns into rash things, and all round un-thinking. But I try not to show it. Then there's the subtle meanings of "try". Though, just "trying" isn't really enough, because if everyone who "tried" got what they wanted, then the success "stories" wouldn't be so uncommon.

So be of good cheer, I suppose.

Things never turn out the way you want it to, but it doesn't really matter anyway.

Mouse drawing => Finger painting. Well, at least, that's what I've read somewhere, and it kinda makes sense.


Hoping for a long weekend.

More cooking, and awesome, really.

"I probably shouldn't have done that..."

Prefect inductions a bit boring, but it's polite to pay attention now and again, so I did. And the band conductor is a Mr. Gibson. Jamie Gibson?

So after a little bit of research last night, Petrol sniffing => Xylene => Jenkem. It's quite disgusting though. But funny/interesting at the same time, which surprising is the same word in Japanese, but it's just another language with it's alternate meanings, etc. etc. Have fun wikipedia-ing.

Cooking again, same thing as last time, deep fried wontons, but this time with wonton skins instead of dumpling skins. It makes quite a bit of difference. It's also quite easy to make, just tedious and time consuming.

Hoping the days get better.

Sometimes you just..forget?

"The cure all for all."

Essay due monday, and I need a thesis for this very open question about "discussing" the theme of the term. Otherwise known as the flavor of the month. Or, "Flay-vor of the month". Haha. Anyway, history isn't all that bad, but I do hope that those going to VNight have heaps of fun, unlike a mortal such as myself. =D

Although, History assessment thing is tomorrow, so is the Prefect induction, which is a bit boring, but, it is kinda necessary. And next year, it shouldn't be all that boring. I hope.

A slow day, but I have decided to start a new project, that is, drawing with a mouse. It's pretty fun. Just a bit clunky.

Maybe I'll give up on another project..

Who knows?

Hoping a few promises are kept.

2 things.

"More happy, less obnoxious."

That's a comment I got when asking a very nice but somewhat..indifferent friend by the name of William, who also has a "World Map". Then again, he can't really judge because I'm not where he hangs out all that much, but it's there.

Secondly, TWEWY's back online, which is cool. And..

"What's Inception like?"
"See, you get these pins, and you imprint ideas onto people"

(Something like that.)

Anyway, maybe it's all for the better.

Hoping I can go to that "other event".

So, how is it coming together?

"Wow."

Chem NQE's were fun. The only letdown is that I can't take the booklet with me, because the booklet is the answer sheet thing for the extended thing. I finished all I could somewhere in the middle of recess, which is okay, considering I haven't learnt anything from the Chem tutorial sessions I haven't been to. Which is fine, because the NQE was easier than the Physics one (in my dishonest opinion anyway) and I did manage to finish maybe 5/8ths of it. Including a question on dipeptides, which was fun. Seriously, it's just adding up atomic weights, rounding and a little bit of logic.

The rest of it, I couldn't do, which was on reactions with a molecule or some kind of compound with a reactant, and drawing diagrams, etc. etc. The multiple choice was okay too.

Rio Tinto was a let-down because it was so easy, and yet so stupid. If I do get any wrong, it's not that I got it wrong that takes the cake, it's because I can't prove why my answer is correct and theirs isn't. It's like they want us to think like old geezers sitting round a coffee table, writing this up. Stupid, really.

For instance, the question on the conversion of "sound to nerve impulses". You have:

A) Ear Canal
B) Ear Drum
C) Cochlea
D) Auditory Nerve

(Probably not in the same order, but those were the choices.)

Now, Ear Canal is just a tube, Ear Drum is a membrane which acts as a microphone/reverse speaker, Cochlea is an organ with cilia (?) and fluid for conducting vibrations and conversion of those vibrations to "nerve impulses" and the Auditory Nerve is another tunnel from the Cochlea to the Brain, carrying a "nerve impulse" and not a pressure wave this time. (Could this paragraph be all wrong?)

So, if it's not A or D, then B is converting "sound" to vibrations, which I wouldn't call "nerve impulses" because they travel through bone to the Cochlea. The Cochlea technically and by extension transforms "sound" into "nerve impulses", but that's not what it's function is. So, either way, it does seem you can't have a "right" answer. And if this were an extended response, I'd be much, much more content.

Hoping I get over it. Eventually.

To skip or not to skip?

"Freaking out here.!"

So, as chem NQE's are on tomorrow, periods 1,2,7,8 (cause Rio Tinto is 3,4), it might be possible to skip a history test as well...Wait, I get recess anyway. Sweet! So I can skip a history test. Yay. Well, until friday or something. But it's still cool.

Going to fail, but who cares? I've learnt a few things. I'm sure it's worth $30 to self-learn some stuff and get some resources for next year.

A somewhat happy apple (or is it bad?) in English. It's quite boring with a sub, but it means no work, and note taking...well. Essay's due next monday from what I heard, so it's all good. History however, is due this friday. Etc. etc. other stuff as well, you don't need me to complain as well.

Which does mean flat out working on History for the rest of this week, with a break here and there in the morning on the bus and in the afternoon car trip home for gaming. Which is enough, really. Because how can you concentrate in a moving vehicle? Plus, not internet.

Quite a good day, if a bit..well. I did get a whistle blown because of "dangerous play" in Hockey. Which makes a little sense, but I haven't had any accidents to date, and only one to me, which was a flying ball to the face.

For all those...well. If you're complaining about how bad the Baulko Bulletin articles are, then do something, whinging lazy people. Write an awesome one for the team, eh?

Balance is always good. Work work work all week.

Oh, and I'm sick of people saying or implying that it's the doctor's fault that a low statistical success rate surgery fails, or that the doctor goes ahead with superfluous surgery, or late term abortions (you name it.) at the PATIENT'S REQUEST and still receives death threats, hate mail, and generally spat upon. It's not the damned surgeon/doctor's fault, it's similar to the law system where sometimes you can't refuse a case (I think that's how it is anyway.). Just my thoughts, really. Yes, they can turn it down, but then you have less qualified surgeons agreeing, etc. etc. Bad things all round.

Hoping tomorrow is special.

If only it did happen the way people say it does.

"Unfortunately..or fortunately, depending on your stance."

Well, a perfect world never comes around in the way that you'd think. Look at communism, eh?

Lately, there isn't really much on my mind, and anything that does come up, I forget, so, shorter posts, but no-one's complaining, so there shouldn't be a problem. Right?

2 Essays in 80 minutes? Greaaaat. =/ Anyway, I guess we need to do loads of work and still revise for those assessments.

Hoping for the best. And nothing less.

Reuse, Recycle, Renew.

"Horrible. No?"

If is quite the iffy phrase, because what happens if nothing happens? Or if it does? Or if we don't know if it does or doesn't?

*Is feeling bad, for some reason*

Hoping it's not too bad.

AAAAAAAAAAAARGH.

"Chem chem chem chem chem"

And I know nothing about it.

*Goes to cry in a corner*

Hoping I don't fail too hard.

Fume fume fume.

"Fuming over the fumes which are fuming and fumigating."

Maybe maybe not. But I guess the law of balance still applies. I mean, today was not so great a day...Sigh..

Biology NQE's? Seemed pretty easy, the multiple choice anyway. Chem chem chem, I'm so gonna faaaaaaaail. T_T

Hoping I don't stress too much about it.

For those willing.

"Because I have nothing better to do" - Real quote from a real person, not me. 3 guesses for who. Small prize for the winner.

In any case, today was quite interesting, given that loads of people were away, and that they are probably having an excellent time.

Oh, and another small prize for anyone who can spot the intentional error in my article in this month/term/season's Baulko Bulletin. It's quite horrific. And intentional. 3 guesses, too.

Fun fun fun. Really. It was a great day.

Hoping someone doesn't win, so I can keep my prizes.

No time to waste.

"Got to finish that report.."


Today: Engineering report and History notes for ext. response. Which, despite my horrible marks, I'm still a "good student". It has its ups and downs.

Hoping for the best.

Grrr...Well, it could be worse.

"What the hell is a VA essay?!"

Well, let's tally.

Essay - English
History - Notes + Booklet
Science - Nothing I know of
Math - Meh
Chemistry Olympiad...Which I know nothing about.
Engineering - Report, which apparently should be longer, I have 1/2 page for each, currently
PDHPE - Questions, gonna do the rest in class.

Oh, well. THat's about it I suppose. Although...

And physics NQE was really hard.. Oh well. It's not like I was expecting much. Really. Though I did learn some physics, so not all is lost.

Hoping I can finish all this work. Grr.. And an essay on a film? Horrible.

Work work work.

"You make me do all the work around here."

Anway. It's late and school's tomorrow. Haha. Be seeing you guys then.

Hoping none of you are still work-exp hung-over.

Back to the usual

"And I'm not regretting it."

Well. Everything's going back to "normal" I suppose. In any case, it was a great week, and some of my work is already done. I just need to do the rest of it...

Oh, and designing something really awesome, but I'm not quite sure how it'll work..hmm. Gears + Gearbelt? Or whatever it's called.

Yes. Nothing too much to comment on really. Besides elections. And Labor wins! I think anyway. I'd hope so too.

Hoping for a quiet night.

One headache after another.

"Fortunately..."

Fortunately, it's not work experience. It's something else outside of it.

Speaking of said experience, I do have the e-mail of one of my colleagues, so we can now keep in touch from time to time. It'll be pretty good, I'd say.

Also got a small tour of a good part of the city. Fine food mainly. "Best cafe in the city" indeed. Also, a fairly nice Chinese restaurant..mhm. Quite hot dishes, flavour wise. In any case, quite an awesome week, all in all.

Hoping yours is any better.

Four. For a Wooden Day.

"Well. What's wrong?"

Perhaps, if anything. Well. Work experience is great despite long travel times, and apparently, my work mates are "taking me out to lunch" which I presume is going to be in the adjacent little sea-side cafe. Which is quite nice. Considering it's going to be the last day there. It's been great, despite everything. And I might miss them, but I've missed school a tad more. Mainly because not everyone is distracted by the internet.

Ah well. So what. In any case, it is a long journey to and fro, ~ 1 1/2 hrs to, then 1 1/2 back? Maybe. Who cares? I get a free MX on the way back, and the morning isn't too bad either. Work is easy, free beverages of almost any sort. Minus soft drink of course. And it's air-conditioned. In any case, it's pretty good.

But enough of that.

Hoping to see you soon.

Three............

"I can only promise. And how do you know I'm not lying? You don't."

Another interesting day. A bit irritable, but good all the same. Probably just a tad fatigued, but aren't we all..

And, "general consensus" already denotes that it's only people that I know. It's general, and it's a consensus. It's fairly subtle, I'll grant you that, but my mind says it's there. And so it must be. In one form or another.

Quite odd, too. That I've found something else which may or may not be a coincidence.

"Never ignore a coincidence. Unless you're busy, like I am right now. Then ignore all coincidences"

Hoping for a new day.

Day two of seven

"Ah...so tired."

I suppose it's the general consensus from most people, but then again, you all sleep later, so it's not much of a big deal either. In any case...I'm hoping both the week ends quicker and slower. Good stuff on either side, really. It's all perhaps a little disturbing too. And trains are scary.

Gap gap gap gap. It's always there and threatening. Plus a ladder of something on the side between the gap. Very scary....plus, how do you get up from off the tracks? I can't see much in the way of that...but it's probably there...sigh.

Hoping we get back to school soon too.

Work experience!

"I hope you have a sense of humor, or else this'll be a veeeeery long week."

Yes. Very excellent. Definitely memorable. And of course, better than I expected, innumerably so, in fact. It's very very easy work. Considering it's just box moving, trolley pushing, a little bit of idle chat and typing. Which is quite easy for me. It's not really what work would probably be like....okay maybe. In any case, it's still very enjoyable.

Yes...Well, I do hope everyone else's work experiences were just a good, if not better.

"If you can't change your fate, change your attitude."

Hoping this week ends as it should. So then we can all be "=OOO" at all the funky stories.

Apologies yet again? Perhaps not.

"Hey!"

Apologies for not posting yesterday, but I guess no-one really minds either. Had a party and all was good. Plus it was really fun. Even Chris enjoyed it. Quite interesting, really. And we got to play Mario Kart. On Wii.

"Back in MY day, we had buttons!"

Then today was filming. Which was borderline productive, but we did get to see Guinea pigs and it was pretty fun. Despite flash rain and all that. Which got a few things wet, but it all dried out later.

But yea. It's all very very good. Except the work experience which is coming up and I need to find that journal and argh...Not really looking forward to that I guess.

Anyway..Nothing all that much to write about. Too tired to care, s'well

Hoping work experience isn't quite as bad as I imagine it.

I don't usually do this...

"But..."

Rather, I don't usually say this, but I did happen to see something incredibly inspiring, to me anyway. So as to recount, I saw an old Chinese man with a white beard wearing a jacket and shorts holding up a sign with a Happy Face on one side and a Sad face on the other. Also wearing a billboard type thing. On one side, it said "Think" and on the other "Imagine". The "Imagine" went with the sad face, "Think" with the happy face.

Now why is this all so interesting you may ask? Because of the whole scene. How many times do you see exactly that scene, or even somewhat close to it, in a lifetime? Not very. Oh and he had a dog. Now, the first conclusion one may draw is that he is homeless. But upon closer inspection, he isn't begging. And his dog has a jacket to help against the cold. So perhaps he is, but I would not know. Secondly, he is old. That adds to the...hrmm...factor.

Perhaps it's just me. But it inspires me. And where others may see him as crazy or stupid, he is just doing what others will not. To what purpose, I don't know, but it's still all very intriguing.

New project, this time I'm going to be using sheet metal and more axles. The result is more power. Also, it might be a bit sharp and whatnot. I'll fix it all in the design process. Sheet Metal....+ Maybe wood for moulds.

Ah well, ah well.

Hoping I can finish everything. And design that awesome power generator.

Quite eventful, really.

"Of course I live under a rock. How else do you think I'm so "down to earth"?"

Well, sometimes there isn't enough information to go around fixing stuff, but I can still try to get that stuff done.

In addition to that, maths common came back, this time above the average in our class, but still not quite happy with it. Ah well. Such is life. I'll try...and I'll try...

Anyway, doing 3u Math (Eh, I can do it so long as I practice every week.), 3u English (Which is plain awesome. And considering essays are quite easy to me, it's quite good.), Phys, Chem, Bio (Because of nothing much else to pick, plus I don't want negative scaling on subjects I like slightly more that these. Phys = Electricity, Chem = Doctor, Bio = Nothing better to pick.)

So there we have it. My selections. Sigh. There is still quite a bit to do....We shall have to see.

Perhaps I'm what they'd call a traditionalist. Besides other things. Like "jerk".

Hoping for even more sun. And rain.

"There is no such thing as coincidence"

"Fools seldom differ.."

Nostalgia? Well, it was a somewhat good time. But primary school was weird. And they didn't teach you good habits of study/work/whatever, they just taught you. Which isn't quite the same thing if you know what I mean.

Sunny today....though we do have 3 days inclusive of today to finish a powerpoint consisting of 4 people, when we can't really communicate all that well with said 4th member. Guess....well. I'll see what I can do.

Perhaps, perhaps. Advice often comes from odd sources, and it's all equally useless. Unless the person receiving actually does anything with said advice. Even if it's bad...it can still be turned into something positive. "Unto a writer, nothing is lost."

The true meaning of a friendship is to find yourself and others in this world. At least that's what I think. Consider it a hivemind of belonging? "Hivemind memory. Yea."

Who knows?

Hoping I can contact that one person in time.

So much work, and still so much time, but who the heck wants to do it?

"We know we should, but we don't."

Inspiring talk with the interviews and whatnot for the next year's stuff, and yet, perhaps we're wrong. In any case, all it means is to not throw away something as yet, and keep your eyes open I suppose. Least, that's what he told me. And why would you learn things the hard way when there's someone else to tell you? I guess that's the point of education. 2 Millenia or more of information, condensed into 20-30 years. Quite an achievement, don't you think?

Furthermore is the science of networks, and how everything seems to follow this unseen rule of networks. I guess you could check it up for yourself. After all, "google" is a hub of knowledge and better than I am at explaining concepts. Because I cannot match wits with people older and more plentiful than just us.

Perhaps, perhaps...in any case, it's all quite the same sometimes. Things fluctuate and change but still stay the same. At least according to X, Y and Z. Which reminds me of a really cool combo. But I just need to refine it. Oh and to make some stuff..........................................................

Work work work. So much to do...

Hoping it doesn't rain tomorrow.

There are good ones, bad ones and...

"Sometimes there's that one day which is unexpectedly awesome."

Like today. Who knew making food was THIS AWESOME.

Seriously. Zuchinni's are lol, meat is really really cold and squishy, and cutting vegetables finely is harder than it looks. Much much harder. But meat is really squishy. It's funny. And cool. I'd hope that organs aren't that squishy. (No not the musical kind. Those are obviously made out of something hard.)

Well, other highlights of the day....not really many besides now...oh well..

Cooking is awesome. So is surgery. How alike they are. (Sort of.)

Hoping I'm not so tired tomorrow.

Perhaps it's less ridiculous in dreams.

"Tobe or not Tobe? Who did it?"

Well, what do you want to do with your life?

Anyway, lots of work, lots of time, have to get started and oh my, speakers are so....well the DIY kits are ~$320 or something big like that, and I was thinking of making my own, but smaller and in a box....If it all works out (improbable) then I'll have a shiny new set of speakers in a box and I'll be even happier than I am now. (That's not to say that I'm not unhappy.) It's still very expensive. Seriously...$300 for a 1/2 a set of speakers? That's like $40 for a brick! (No, I'm not getting one.)

Maybe it'll be bigger than...well...that's the point of multi-purpose stuff. I guess I can make the easier circuit with all my father's spare parts. (He has a MASSIVE set of IC's. Seriously. Almost every IC you need. And if it doesn't quite work, just change your circuit to fit it.)

And what's the difference between a wrench and a spanner? Size? I like spanners because they're so...useful. I've never really used a wrench before (If that's the BIG one.) because of no need to undo/do big bolts. I'm not a mechanic. Though I do have a fairly basic knowledge of cars and the like. Though sometimes...you just need to look at the item. Then experiment and fix.

2 parties? On the same weekend, but I can come...Oh crap, need to make...make...argh. I have 7 days to make 2...things. Oh and some cooking to be done. But that's easy. Unfortunately, deep fried vegetarian wontons don't exist.

Great, now I'll need to plan all this and....geh. Well, one week shouldn't be too bad...Hrmm...

Hoping you finish all your work too.

How absurd.

"What happens?"

For every day, there is something happening, so I can't see how being at home is better than being at school. With a few exceptions I suppose.

Then again, does much happen? On most days, I wouldn't think so but....there's always that thing once in a while that makes me want to write about it. Although, weekends are just slow.

Hoping for more sun.

So much to do, but this time I AM doing it.

"This goes with this, and this and this and then VOILA. It's done.
.....What?"

Looks like Work Experience is up soon...soon...well, soon enough.

Next week shall be jam packed and full of buttery goodness. Gathering on the 14th, unless something drastic happens, then again on the 15th. So a film + explosives + party + hat which I need to make, but don't have a clue how, and I need to prioritize, which I shall do after I finish writing on and on so as to give the semblance of a coherent musing, and then go do what I wanted to do earlier, which is prioritize.

So perhaps I shall now, or perhaps I shan't and for all we know, everything is changing. How you say? That was my question too. Then if you think about it, perhaps it's not too far from the truth. Perhaps we all wonder, and all those oddballs scheming and changing the tides of things while being consumed in the process. (Reactants not catalysts you see.)

Perhaps it's not making any more sense than usual, so perhaps I shall use a more common example because the media madness is always madness. We shall use the example of Vuvuzela warrior, otherwise known as the bald-ish guy who hates me. Now, because he was mentioned before, perhaps I shall mention him again but with mine own experience. Thus is the story of him getting his prize weapons (Mere toys, not musical instrument nor weapons so calls him.) confiscated by really cool yet stern Commerce God. (Love you Happy Apple. Okay, maybe not, but it's really inspiring.) and then "standing his ground" and getting them back somehow. Then bragging about it all. I do have a neat passage, and maybe one of these days, I'll be angered enough to do something about it. Quietly of course. But you'll know when it happens. In the meantime.

"In his soul we do not find sham attitudes, he does not embellish and puff up the experiences which he truly has, he does not twist his gaze back on himself instead of looking at the object which demands a response of him. He is the genuine and straightforward man, i.e. the objective man in the highest sense of that word."

I love this text actually. It's quite good despite a few Christian notions here and there, but still very very good. Like the Art of War, but much much less flexible. Which helps.

http://www.ewtn.com/library/THEOLOGY/FUNMOR.HTM#3

Hoping to get to read it sometime. (Consider it MY "Catcher in the Rye", only 50x more accessible.)

I guess.....

"Thank you."

Sometimes you don't realize what great friends you have, until you really look, and I guess, it is quite interesting to see how things change, if they ever do, and if the seasons do change at all. Perhaps I'm just quite lucky. And maybe, if I stop and think about it...

Well, thank you. Because you don't ask stupid questions, and understand. (To some extent.)

And, I guess, on the topic of work. Who the hell cares if you do it or not? It is YOUR damned education. So if you care, then do it. If you don't then who else should care? No one else. No. One. So it applies both ways I suppose. If it's not your business, don't worry about it.

Hoping I get around to saying what needs to be said. (And defeat the ENEMIES.)

Eh...Whatever

"It shouldn't matter. Anyway..."

Well, sometimes things get nowhere. Actually, I just don't really feel like blogging. Sure there's lots to say, but it doesn't really matter and maybe I shouldn't write it down anyway.

Okay, well perhaps there is a little something.

"To a writer nothing is lost." Or something like that. It's quite a nice quote. Well, I guess then, anything can be inspiration, and maybe I should practice for when I need to write a short creative piece again, but I already have an idea and I've written down most of the first draft anyway.

Well, to re-iterate, if the whole world is allowed hypocrisy, always, why can't I allowed to have it, just this once?

Also, it's nostalgic, because I used to play Bejeweled. Which was much more....Epic, ish. This one is more light hearted. The other one was more...dramatic.

Hoping I have enough time to do everything I want.

How reliable.

"Just because a source is biased, doesn't mean it's unreliable and vice versa" - Only thing I have ever learned in History. Well, that's of some use in life.

Firstly, "third party photographical evidence". That's downright creepy. Seriously. Photographic evidence? >_>

And secondly your "sources" aren't as reliable as you might think they are. EDIT: (Drawing inspiration from a very Joyful Apple) Ahem, Bald-ish Vuvuzela Holder Who Hates Me, now has a network of people who think I've already kissed her or something. Crazy stuff.

Also, don't ever call Kathy crazy or ugly. Ever. Else you'll have me to deal with. And her army of....vampire pimp kung fu girl....robots. Or something like that. But mainly me.

And, polka dot? What?

Perhaps it's time to re-evalute facebook. Hrmmmm....

Hoping I make the right choice.

Good News, Me.

"So, where the bloody hell are you?"

Well, it's good for me that my almost-rotten-blue-mushroom garlic is actually growing. Well, sprouting the tops and all. So, soon I shall have a nice garlic plant and then have garlic. Probably by the end of the next next next week.

Quite complexly put, I'd rather know a why than a how normally, but this time I'm wondering about how. How does everyone know? It's creeping me out a bit. The everybody bit, not the knowing bit.

Anyway.

Hoping for comments, as per the norm.

Nothing?

"Was there ever a time where anything was wrong?"

Not all that much to be done.

Really, it's just wide reading. And does anyone understand the "Manipulate the texts" bit? I sure don't.

Waiting is quite boring. Especially with no-one to talk to. And in the early morning, nothing happens anyway. Everyone's sleeping save a few.

Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

Hoping I can sleep in next weekends.

Well, that's extreme.

"Indeed"

Just logged onto ebuddy and 10 people's requests of contacts showed up. Quite insane, really. And I have no idea who they are. But maybe they're 6C people. So I'll watch and wait.

In response to "the best stop motion I've ever seen", here's mine.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=240Vq6tIxio

Obviously it's a matter of likes and styles, and I suppose you probably won't like it. But watch it all the same. Humor me. And comment.

There once was a card called Chain Lightning. That card was fun.

Anyway, to tabulate stuff to do.

1.Wide Reading (Week 3)
2.Party (15th)
3.Gathering (8th)
4.NQEs Papers (23rd/26th)
5.Construct some birthday presents.

Oh, and does anyone have dog ears? Like, dog ears on a cap sorta thing. No? Looks like I'll have to make mine own.

Hoping I don't leave everything to the last minute.

It's not quite what you think...

"Or IS it?!" - Chris.

Anyway, long story long, everything's being triple-timed and sped so that nothing is making sense anymore. It's quite stupid but funny all the same.

Well, nothing much has changed. Except one of my best-er friends is now sniggering at me at any mention of... "something".

Crazy!

Hoping for nothing to change. As usual.

Couldn't be better.

"Yay!"

Best day since the beginning of the year. No, it's not when school came back. It was something else a few weeks into the term.

1.Work Experience. Yay!!!!!!
2.Group Get Together. But I'm doing this probably more to prove a point than anything
3.Party! Well, it's a few weeks away, but that doesn't matter.

Anyway, I'm incredibly bemused and amused at how everything is going around. But if my calculations are correct, people will start looking at me weird...probably next week or so. So watch my back for me, unless you're looking at me weird, in which case, don't watch my back. Cause y'now. I'll be creeped out.

Was going to type something a little darker and a bit more vague (which I love doing, but my essays are suffering.) but my mood won't allow me to.

One of the more memorable moments of today.

Rosemary: Wait.....you're....Brendan...Loi?
Me:....Yea...?
(George + Tracy laughing their faces off)

Hoping for a week like this. Again.

It's so drizzly

"What? What's wrong? I don't get it." -Fairly Common Phrase

Well, it's a really wet day, and bad getting to and from squash, but not too bad. It would seem that people also get fairly cold hands on these days.

Anyway, interesting day even for a sport day. Can't say I didn't enjoy it. Anyway, I would prefer it that if I am going to be the butt of a joke that someone explain it. Because it makes things 5x easier. For everything.

New project. New compositions. And more theory on electronics. But it'll all pan out.

Engineering = Parallel batteries and Mr. Benic giving me a new switch which is awesome. It's also really cool. New SWIIIIIITCH!

Yea. Thinking about other things.

Hoping for another day like this.

I. Don't. Know. So. Stop. Asking.

"It shouldn't matter"

I'm really too tired and confused to write anything coherant, so if this is full of errors, please don't kill me.

Interesting day. Not sure if I want to do bio anymore. Now it's a 3 way coin toss between Engin/Bio/Jap. Might need a tutor of sorts for Jap, but I think I can find one. Maybe a year 11 friend...

"You need to ask yourself whether other people rule how you live."

Perhaps there is some method to the madness afterall.

Maybe I should have a motto. I'll create one sometime.

Need to start on that composing. I have till friday to complete one song at least.

Until then.

Hoping I make that list of realisations. To which I have added on 5 from just today.

Great. Just Great.

"The first person to actually think I'm nice, also thinks I'm a girl. Great."

Well, perhaps I should make an inventory of this year.

Additions:
A camp
5ish more friends
6ish more enemies
1 traitor
14 realisations about myself
1 mp3 player
1 phone
1 room cleaning
Probably more somewhere

Subtractions:
Guilt
Regret
1 computer
1 phone
1 pile of sheets of rubbish
And other things like that. Oh, and...a good memory would be on this list. I just don't have it.

Anyway, yea. I don't even know anymore. Does no-one care for longer posts? Shorter posts don't do much anyway. So it goes back to "Dear mr. Journal." etc. etc.

Perhaps...maybe one day...I do have another grand idea. But I'll have to wait for a few months AND, it might be a bit weird. Hmm...It involves cards, musics and buying a little something online.

Hoping for some comments. It's like fishing! Or, Phishing.

H.E.L.P.?

"What? Fezes are cool!"

You'd be surprised at how many people park in the disabled zones even though they aren't disabled. It surprised me.

Stuff is being chucked out again. And it amazes me at the amount of stuff being chucked out just because it's slightly broken. Like televisions, which I assume they have a short circuit somewhere, which again could be fixed with a little bit of time, effort and knowledge (Which these days is everywhere. We are in the Information Age.). If not, they could be dismantled for parts, but I suppose not everyone wants gigantic capacitors that can kill you with its discharge. But, there are giant speakers. And guess what? Pimped up sound systems or amps or whathave you. It's amazing. And while I wouldn't mind taking home this stuff, dismantling it, and chucking the rest of whatever is unusable away, my parents don't think that we should. Because we already have enough spare parts, I think.

I was reminded again of the discussion on illegalizing smoking. Or "Phasing it out". Seriously, if they just made it illegal, they wouldn't be spending more money trying to get people to stop. Two problems, both points from other people.

1.They get a buttload of tax. Which increases every year.
Can't really argue with that except that if they really cared about spending less in the health sector for lung related disease or heart or brain related diseases related to smoking, then would do so. Maybe it even adds up to more than the tax.

2.It would make it on par with "illegal drugs" and make the "problem" even worse.
Well, why aren't illegal drugs re-introduced into legality like in...Amsterdam? I'm going to assume that most people wouldn't think of phasing them back in simply because of the harm it does to people. So why can't they be banned? They cause, more long term damage than anything else I know of.

Anyway. That was just something I remembered from a while back.

And now the electoral battle is becoming a "we have a better health reform than you" row. It's quite cool, but nothing is going to be done soon, which is a bit lame. And like most other people thinking about the shocking mental health system in Australia (Think about it. If they mainstream health system is bad enough, add on stigma about a "weakness" and all that concerning prostate health and breast health AND all the bad images about "crazy" and you have the mental health system.) I doubt anything much will change for that sector. More funding, fine. But still not enough for any sector. I guess they're the "basics" but, still people don't really care all that much except when they realise that a pill will cure them of their Cold. Obviously.

I haven't been really angry in a while. I wonder..

Hoping....for things to stay somewhat the same. As bad as they are.

Why is everything so confuzzling?

"I have no idea".

Firstly, the problem with rotten garlic is exactly that. It's rotten. Ie, it has blue mushrooms on it. Well, some of it did. I did manage to salvage some which weren't completely decomposing yet, and planted those. Then I realised that I didn't know exactly how to plant garlic, so I planted some really deep and others towards the surface more because the shoot won't be buried in food that way.

In fact, everything is turning out quite weird. But then again, I suppose I have another person to talk to all this about and I don't even know why I trust them. I just do. It's really really weird. I mean, I haven't really known them all that much, and then I just start talking to them and trusting them. Don't you ever get that feeling? Maybe it's just my mood sometimes.

First time I've made a to-do list on paper. And it's pretty cool. Oh, and I figured out what's wrong with my engineering thing. When I wired it, I ignored the rules of electricity/science/physics, whatever. And thus, just creating a loop from battery back to battery = hot batteries. Which ends with my cutting all the wires and now having to find maybe 2 switches to make everything work. Oh and designing a circuit which will work. How damned fun. Then again, I could do it with one switch, it just means that I might burn out the motors with 8 batteries. So I'm sticking with a toggle for 4 or 8. That way, I can add on power "for the lols" instead of permanently burning out the motors. Or maybe put on flashing lights. Those drain power.

Yes, well.

Hoping I can resolve everything stacked on my to-do list.

A pioneer of sorts.

"Yes, totally unexpected."

For those who said happy birthday, thanks. I counted about 7. Which made my day. For those who didn't, remember things.

Might have second thoughts about that Bio selection. That's pretty much a free slot, and I MIGHT pick Jap. Maybe. I'd need to work really hard though, so I'm not sure if it's worth it.

Recently I've had the awesomeness of a new friend and some chinese proverbs. The least of which, "See sky, eat rice". Which is pretty cool, but over shadowed by (Sorta.) "Tell me, and I forget, Show me so that I may remember, Involve me so that I understand" and, the best, from my father, (Roughly translated) "The more they put on, the uglier they are; The more they look, the more uglier they are." On the topic of beauty and creams and all that. It's a bit sexist, but funny all the same. What he really said was..."Ye tuu, ye tsou. Ye kan, ye bu hao kan."

Anyway. It would also seem that trusting people is instinctive. Well, to me anyway. I figure, I'm more tolerant overall, but when I'm working, that goes out the window. Especially if I'm not understood. Which is a lot of the time. Oh well. Apologies to anyone on the receiving end of that.

Work experience. Enough said. I suppose...Well, I have a place in mind and 90% will get accepted. That was my fall back option, so I'm using it.

Hoping for better days. (Like this one and the one before.)

A recipe for a life's cake.

"Now really.."

Just so all of us remember, it is the 23rd tomorrow.

Start with 1 1/4 cup of engineering.

Which was a fancy new gadget for testing the breaking points of towers and bridges made of ballsa. Very fancy. Also, the new year 9's doing said course get new materials and new guidelines to things.

Fast forward a little, chem quiz is today, wow. Did not know. Also means one person I know has missed out. Shame.

Now to periods 3/4, not much happening except talk about solder, tenses, and subject selections. I really don't know what to pick. Ah joy.

Fast forward some more to the end of the day when the chem quiz actually happens, and it's rather boring. Actually, things are starting to get a little more boring. Nothing much to be said, nor done.

Except that funny looks all round, and electrolytic paste still exists today. Antimony?

Hoping it's not too boring tomorrow. (It is quite the special day, it seems.) Jyu ni sao ryu quai la. etc. etc.

Reverberation

"Just don't it"

Well, I guess we start at the beginning then.

Another dream. Nightmare. Drowning. Enough said.

Morning, nothing much happens.

Later on, we find that that Hydralisk fellow has changed from squash to walking. Absurdly....absurd.

English was rather..boring. Nothing much said or done. Just some paperwork to be done. And a mini-discussion. Which was pretty boring. I honestly can't imagine writing an essay on that book. It's just too...don't know the word.

A walk to squash later, and we play some squash coupled with some nice compositions and jokes about Blitzkreigs and Belgian chocolates.

Back at school, we're flying past things, meet Mr. McNicol and talk some more. It's now 2:30 and it's a bit...empty, I suppose.

Meet up with Josh, Kathy, Alison, Christine and Chris. Oh and Rebecca. They were discussing some kind of filming a short film. At Rebecca's house. On her birthday. And something about pinstripes, blue, pink, 8 tiered cakes and melting sugar unicorns.

Debate about fur coats, hair ties and bad insults leads to me getting back-hand slapped by Kathy. Somewhat unexpected, actually. She does hit sort of hard.

All in all, somewhat interesting day.

Hoping I finish that last bit.

Well, how bad could it have been?

"Something big and something blue."

Well, school time's here. Amused by all the chatter about cheques and forgery and fraud. But we all know nothing of that sort is going to happen. Well, you'd hope not, I suppose.

Got back netbook, yay. New. Shiny. Blue. ICONS. Seriously. Look at them. They so...cool.

Now to move everything back again, I guess.

Y'now, English is pretty cool. Except for the really bad group tasks. But they "help" in a way, I suppose. Actually, I have been noticing that I use "like" a little less that I thought. Well, when you compare it to people who love using the word. Then again, "thingamabob" isn't any better. But I suppose...If you were to analyse why people use "like" as frequently as they do, you'd probably find a space filler. In that sense, it is elevated to the status of "Ummmmm." Which is pretty heavenly if you ask me. But you're not. Oh well.

Oh. Group tasks. Not sure how I went with my explanation of my ingenious theory on Artificial Selection, but it would seem the whole world is against my point. =/ Will no-one back me up? Oh well. It's a great point. And contrary to my colleague's woeful claims, said teacher didn't say anything. My response? HAHA. Their response? She's just too lazy. =(

Looks like I also need to get that finale type thing quickly. I feel like experimenting and creating an "original song". Hehe.

Does anyone else feel that drinking water is incredi-invigorating? Yea, it is.

And it would seem that I have nightmares often. Haha..

Hoping it all continues.

Well, waddya know?

"There can't possibly be a wife like that! Haha!"

Haha..Incredibly ironic.

Well, we're back to school and nothing much has really changed, except people might be rocking up with headaches and toothaches and bellyaches and what have you. And it might be interesting to note any real changes, but in the mean time, nothing much has changed, I would think.

Always the sentimental type, I wonder how many lives need to be saved to equal to one life lost? It is a question of the value of a nameless and unknown person. And I guess it means to show how blind we all are. 6 billion people, and 90% of them are lost to us.

Wishing Doctor Who is back on soon. Seriously, Sundays are now "no-good-show" night. So it's rather boring and we go back to watching...wait for it...

This. Which is a nice children's cartoon about sheep, two wolves and a steel door (literally). Or...nevermind. But it's very funny. And we had 6 dvds of that but lost the last 3. (4,5,6). Oh well.

And I guess I don't believe in the "do whatever makes you happy" because, financial security seems to be more...well important. I guess, if you have the money you can pick up any hobby you like. But that's just me, I suppose. Regardless of how many seminars of people changing their jobs.

Turns out our neighbour on the right has the same name as me. Well, the kid, anyway. It's rather unnerving when a stranger calls out your name and you wonder if you know them, then realise you don't and them have to just walk back to the house.

Anyway, here's

Hoping you had a better holiday than mine.

How intriguing.

"Well, you could always try...NO"

Actually, if you look back on most of my posts, it's almost always complete rubbish of the top of my head. But still makes sense. Although, no-one comments. Makes me sad sometimes. Oh well.

Looked at the TV guide for tonight, found out that Doctor Who isn't on. Somewhat expected, with the season final last week, but it's still "aww". Now there won't be anything good on tonight to watch.

Oh, and I want to compose a few pieces, but don't know where to start, really. Was thinking of finale + netbook, but netbook =/= finale, that is, it doesn't have it, I think. And while Audacity can "compose" it's not "composing". Help? Oh, and it's a gift, for those asking. I mean, it's not for you if you ask, but if you are asking "What's it for?", it's a gift.

Maybe my projects fail from time to time, but it doesn't mean that nothing was made.

Seriously, how do you write all that much, Happy Apple without making it seem like you're talking complete nonsense on a big big wall of...well... a blank wall? It's big and I could put something on there, but if it's too personal it's not all that good, is it? I have no idea, so I'll continue with this.

Though, my notebook helps me remember..

"One of the few things I don't have an answer/excuse/logic to:"

Why should there be poverty when we can just "fix" it?
Because there is a lot of excess in the developed countries, etc. etc. I'm not quite a big advocate of "Save the poor!" myself. But y'now...

How I'm going to compose said pieces?
Very well, thank you.

Pessimist or Optimist, how the heck do you define someone like that?
I don't think you can.

Why do people have whims?
Because they're whimsical. Okay that was bad.

Actually, organising things is somewhat tedious, because now's the waiting time for people to spread the word that X is going on, so, please think of ideas while you're waiting. Seriously. It's early, but I don't like leaving everything to the last minute. More like the last week is more comforting to me.

Figured out why RPGs like WoW and all that jazz are so addicting. It's not when you're not playing it that it's addictive. It's when you are. Time flies, etc. etc. and people don't stop because those games have approaching-on-infinity replay value which = infinity time spent. Theoretically. Thus the reason why I like smaller games (read: 30 minutes, game over) or games I can pause/save/come back to when I'm NOT bored of it.

I have found that the media is absolutely incorrect about almost anything except for politics. Where, if they do, the politicians will rip them a new one.

"Now, it's time for MEDIA MADNESS!"
*Applause*
"By the way, why DO we call it MEDIA MADNESS!?"
"Because we're mad at the MEDIA"

Exactly my sentiments.

Hoping I find some way to compose that piece I want.

That said. I shouldn't have wrote that. Maybe.

The big melting pot of creation.

"For those of you who can't read.." - River Song

Sadly, the holidays are coming to a close, and when they do, it feels like an economic saying I read somewhere.

"When the tide goes out, then you see who has been swimming naked."

Anyway, that's all well and good, and there's a little bit of work, but then again, teachers aren't meant to be forcing you to waste your holidays. Thus, not much of it should be marked and etc. etc. It means I can be "creative" with my responses.

Thus, with a said group work task, it's somewhat acceptable in the unsaid leader of the said group. Maybe I'll look into my notebook now.

It amazes me how Happy Apple can actually write that much. Seriously. I struggle on some days to write that much because I don't really feel like expressing the way the day unfolds or what one idiot has done to ruin said ruinous day. Then again, circular logic has never been my talent.

What amazes me even more is how people can argue with said teachers and yet refuse to argue with me. It astounds me. It's like they don't realise they can actually win against me. Although, "It's not what you say, it's how you say it". To truly understand the mechanics behind a mechanism, you need to have it used against you. It's just the mentality of fault finding. If you don't have it, then good luck, because apparently, it can't be "learned", like how you can "learn" any other skill. But I suppose practice helps.

Does anyone remember the touch typing crap a few years back? I certainly do. I hate how they force you to do this or do that or put your hands on here and there, etc. etc. In fact, I thought I couldn't type without looking back then, but now, without any training, I can do so. Funny how things work out. And to think people spend money on this. Actually, with enough use, those touch typing courses are redundant, because to type fast requires using the key map they set. Well, with a few individual styles here and there. And maybe looking down once in a while to reposition your fingers.

Perhaps the mundane isn't as mundane as it should be. "Taking things for granted" is another fancy way of saying "adaptation" when really, it's just too fancy. And yet, the fancier and wordier way is used far far more often. Why?

"If we milked the horses and rode the cows, it would be a different story."

Quotes are so nice sometimes. Especially if they sometimes don't fit in. Thus you need to look at everything from a different angle, something which I find very hard. Because it means a shifting of position.

Eventually things are fixed and shiny shiny new ideas fall into place.

Oh that's what I wanted to actually write about.

Why do we get "taken advantage of"?

The mentality behind it all; "All for one and one is me".

Now, if altruism is a....just a "good" thing, then one would think that not much of it would happen, due to the first mentality. But, because there is variation in a species, and by extension, variation in a person, things can happen without any pre-thought.

If it is an "investment", then it is just another form of "taking advantage of" someone or something. In other words, "using".

Yes, there is very little variation, and if there is, it is usually one off. Because of the limited nature of these things, it is a "virtue", the same way "life" is precious because it is easily lost and is, limited. But, virtue these days can be bought or sold. There are far and few between case of actual altruism which I would consider as not having anything "investment" like or for any gain. Which is the definition of said "altruism".

Now, to play a "devil's advocate", it leads me to wonder why we can't trust more. It is, again, the prisoner's dilemma.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma

Now, that is the reason why people don't trust more. Because unless you are inspirational to a fault, it's hard to trust people with the expectation that they will trust you.

If you put your trust in people without them trusting you, it hardly works.

Hoping I finish this.
