My day, my life, my...

"Tomorrow will be special, yesterday was not."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8Zcs2i9t0g&feature=related

I spent most of my day listening to that.

And I wrote 2 essays, finishing off my third.

There's no way that I can finish a rewrite tonight. Unless I work at it. And I won't be.

I'm so sad...

Anyway.

I was talking with/to "Li", as you would call her. And...

I have no idea what to make of it. I do hope she's not reading this atm.

But she's one of those people you meet every 5-10 years. That kind of rarity. I hope she never changes.

Other than that, my day was rather mundane.

I need to...rewrite all these essays.

Sigh. I don't feel like it at the moment.

But I'm going to have to do them sometime.

Hoping I do well enough in the exam.

Emotions, emotions, emotions.

"When dealing with people, you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but creatures of emotion."

Ok, so I was feeling kinda (What an understatement) bad while writing an essay about that, and I wanted to cry, but I probably wouldn't have gotten away with it, and...

Anyway, I figured out why I feel bad, and it's not...

It's really complicated.

But I might as well put it here.

It's like...

Kathy hates me, and I should hate her, but half of me doesn't, and then, I had these really =/// thoughts today that I'm not going to go into, probably because it's been 2 weeks since I've seen her, and I'm going into shock or something.

But er, plans of revenge and whatnot, and I really really need to have some better motive to NOT enact them. =(

I wonder if I'm becoming a worse and worse and worse person, by the minute, by the day.

Sure my math test was fine, and I can beat a few people on ICCUP and some people in chess.

Just because you have achievements, doesn't mean that you have merit/worth...

And then thoughts of self-harm, which are really uncharacteristic, and that made it even more =((((

So, yea.

To surmise: It hurts. A lot.

Well.

That's my day in 200 words or so. In shorter: Being ignored by people you care about hurts, but being insulted by them hurts just a bit more.

And is trading a queen for 2 bishops ever worth it, to either side?

Lastly, the persona in "Funeral Blues" portrays their sadness and their emotion over their logic in "Pack away the stars", hyperbolic images enhancing their pain.

Erm...

I think I'll play "A Maiden's Illusionary Funeral ~ Necro-Fantasy"

It's just so nice.

Erm. And if...well. I can make conversation with any song playing on my MP3, except if it's a podcast. But that's not a song. And also, so long as the volume doesn't overpower the speaker.

And no, I don't want your cheap sympathy. I can tell if it's cheap or not, and if it feels cheap to you, then you can bet your ass that it's going to feel cheap to me.

What else...

I might "quit" melee, only because the time spent vs reward graph is just so...flat.

There's no one to play against, so no shiny icons.

And if I keep playing people who are worse than me, I might end up learning crappy McCrap Crap strategies/transitions.

Sorry Kael.

What else...

Last thing to do....hm

If I ever remember, I might edit it in.

Goodnight.

Hoping tomorrow will be a better day.

The crown jewels will be on display tomorrow.

"Ahahahahaha, crown jewels.

Shut up."

1) At swimming, they changed the water so that it's got a lower chlorine content. While it's nicer to smell, it's also bad for the nostils cause of osmosis(?). Anyway, it just hurt my nose a lot.

2) Crown Jewels. Haha.

3) Math exam!

4) Scarf!

5) Designed a 2D Duck thing. I'll see if I can find the crease pattern and then I can show you guys.

6) So much stuff going on! Seriously. BaulkoAid + SMH = ARRRRRRRGH.

Cause it's all post-exam.

Also, you can awkwardly smile. Just saying. You do it all the time =.=" Nah, you don't. It's usually the people who don't understand me, who do it.

And when I'm cold, usually my hands turn mottled and red. And cold. Very cold.

Like, I can still move them, and micro my MnM and all that. They're just really cold. So, I try not to hold hands/touch people when that happens but....

Also, today was a lot of remembering my past. And it's pretty darned regretful. But, what can I do?

People tell me not to go "Oh, but what if this happened, or that happened?"

And I guess they're right.

Also, Kram told me to find an accompanist. So, who wants to accompany for the BaulkoAid thing?

Hoping we all ace tomorrow's exam.

Plan to limit games.

"I'm not going to tell you what it is, cause if I did, then it wouldn't quite work."

Ok, so there's certain conditions with it, and so I can't say what the plan is.

However, instead, I shall be:

1) Writing
a) Stories
b) Other stuff
2) Folding
a) Origami Design
b) Learning new crease patterns
3) Transposing/Reading/Memorizing the 100+ songs that I have sheet music for
a) In particular, "Midorime no Jealousy", cause it just goes way way way above what I can comfortably play
b) And just getting used to having to change key so many times within the piece

Which means, I'm taking suggestions for what I should design. I have no idea how to start designing origami, but I guess it comes with practice.

As for stories, that'll probably be about my life in some way, shape, form. Usually a small aspect, and y'now, HC => Big => I have lots of inspiration, maybe.

Also, did you know that Coles doesn't sell the Mouthpiece sticker? Like...there's a sticker that comes with the mouthpiece that my former tutor told me you could buy at "Like Woolworths or something". If anyone knows where I could get a pack, it would be great.

Also, I can't find my box of Vandoren Reeds T_T.

Nope can't find it still.

Damn.

1000 words...

Also, I have, 1.5 months after the end of the exams to write my story for the SMH writers competition. Damn. Most likely I'll use my Cherry Tree story, fix it up a lot, and then, put in the word "chain" somewhere. I don't know..


FLASH OF BRILLIANCE (Face, Aura, respectively): I just realised that I could learn a reasonably well known song that I still like, if I can find the music for it, and I think I can, and if I'm rambling, then whatever. But I'm excited!

....


YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

I HAVE IT.

+1 FOR ME.

THAT'S RIGHT. FEAR MY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT SKILLS.

*ahem*

Where was I....

=3

=O There's so much sheet music............

=OOOOOO

Sweet. There's a few songs which I gawk at, cause the spacing is just so...bleh.

But others are like, 4/4, no sharps, flats near the end, and it's just so nice to look at.

Probs just cause I fail at clarinet.

Ok. Ordered thoughts...ordered thoughts.

Ah, screw that. What's next...

Yup, I'm going to have a lot of fun learning these. But it means that I either need to find my box of reeds soon, or get some somewhere else. =(

Other things...hm.

I could be writing, but I'm not going to.

I should be revising math. But I'm not, yet.

Besides, I did a lot over this last week, hm, hm...

Oh...........crap. It's Thursday tomorrow.

Sigh.

At least, with the end of Friday, we'll see Math Adv off the list, and Latin, and Engineering and S&C

Which affects....what, 3 of you? (The non-math ones)

Also I was toying around with the idea of toying with people, but then you'd all be saying "CRUCIFY HIM. HE SHOULD DIE ON A STAKE!" Or something. So I'm not going to go into it.

Ermmmmm......

But but...well. Maybe one day I'll get the psychology stuff right and actually put it into a story....

Say, maybe I could do that this year. Tehe.

Ok.

Suggestions:
- Suggest stuff to design
- Suggest articles to write
- Suggest stories to write.

And BTW, KRAM WHERE'S MY BRONZE?!

(You can lecture me about having too many wants and not enough needs or, just being human, or just being a greedy so and so AFTER I have that bronze.)

"The HC is awesome, because I'm included"

=3 Epic thesis, no?

Well, teach would say that you're not supposed to involve either the reader or yourself. But, it would be pretty funny to try and argue.

Or, maybe it's only me.

Because of the double posting today, this is going to be saved, and then posted for you all to read a lot *later* than when I wrote this.

However, a few things to think about, if you will, (Or even if you won't)

The idea of Macro-management over Micromanagement is everywhere.

If I make a deck of 60, the making is the macro, my playing it is the micro.

Something less gaming related.

Your choice of education and work is your macro, your ability to get there is your micro.

Where does strategy come into this? It doesn't. Cause Mechanics > Strategy unless you're playing Shogi/Chess/Any variant.

Then you can scream at me: "But Neku! WHAT MECHANICS?!"

To which the response is "MICRO THE QUEEN."

[/random]

...

So I have Bad Apple in sheet music, which is cool if you remember what the video sounds like. If you don't dw.

And Kael brought up today that he couldn't study with music on.

To which the reply is: "Well, it works for me. I don't study without it."

And then, I was thinking about how I couldn't think when I was listening to a podcast by Day[9] and then realised that it's probably the lyrics which are in English (For Kael)

Then I did a quick scan of my songs, and while I can understand it, most of it is in Jap. So, there you go.

It's like.
60% Instrumental
39% Jap
1% Everything else
200% Awesome

I still have your Led Zepplin CD though, Kram. And y'now what? I think I might listen to it again. Maybe. I don't know. Holy crap. When did you give it to me.................

That was 2 years ago.

Wow.

If I could beat you all in SC then, I wonder now?

=OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ok, enough self-glorifying.

...

Haha. Ironic. Cause I spent my time doing this.

But this is quite fun. It's like talking to myself. Oh wait.

It is talking to myself. Oh well.

Also, need to work on my writing style either being more concise, or less spaced out like this, but this is ok. I just noticed that other people don't write like me, so...hm. Maybe it's fine just the way it is.

Ok this is getting to be a bit long, and uncomfortable.

I doubt you, Candid Fruit will be able to copy this length with the short time you have.

Which is saddening, but I'd love to see you try

=3

Also, your shenanigans are quite amusing. Would be OK if I did something of the same, sometime down the track?

Also: Tehe. Candid Fruit.

Get it?

If you don't, then boo to you.

http://typelogic.com/intj.html

Apparently that's me today. Hm.

"This happens in part because many INTJs do not readily grasp the social rituals"

Yup. K. That's me. I'd go into it, but it's a tad private. So maybe if you ask nicely. Haha.

"http://www.4degreez.com/misc/personality_disorder_test.mv?stat=1"

Same test, I'm fairly sure I answered a little differently this time.

And still, almost the same results.

Disorder | Rating
Paranoid: Moderate
Schizoid: Low
Schizotypal: Moderate
Antisocial: High
Borderline: Low
Histrionic: High
Narcissistic: High
Avoidant: Moderate
Dependent: Low
Obsessive-Compulsive: Moderate

So there.

"http://www.41q.com/index.41q?a=1"

That one says I'm an "Engaged Idealist"

Which practically means I'm a "people person"

If ever that meant anything.

All in the quest to find who I am!

Hoping...that there's some fruit in my house.

Tehe...

"I realise that the words I use vary depending..."

Ok, well forgot last night's post because I was learning a new song.

After looking at all my sheet music, 1/2 of them have 5-6 sharps, like..

C, F, D, A, G

and then, there's one with 5 flats

B, F, D, E, A or something like that

It's ridiculous.

Then there's ones with 1-2 sharps, but then the notes are just way too high to play comfortably.

So, verdict?

Rewrite them so that they're easier to play, duh.

Maybe I'm not just used to having so many sharps and naturals and key changes in the middle of the song 2-3 times.

Anyway, you can bet your bottom dollar that I'm going to post again today.

I mean, it's the day before school, yes? Yes.

Tehe.

Hoping to see you all there.

How disappointing.

"850/1000"

Ok, so I didn't get to actually finish my story, but that's ok, I can finish it tomorrow, and did I mention it was in chapters?

Hell yea.

1k per chapter.

Anyway, what's left...

Hm. Tillerman is a former WC3 player, who then just dropped off the radar; I can't find anything TFT for him. W/e.

Also, erm..

I found lots and lots and lots of sheetmusic.

Like a mountain of it. It's freaking awesome.

Just wait till exams are over. Hoboy. I'll have a musical repertoire the size of...

That mountain.

Anyway, it'll be interesting to see my copied, somehow.

Cause if I don't know who I am, then who does?

Also, ah, screw it.

I'll figure it out later.

Note: Caster ball =/= SKTerran.

Hoping exams aren't too hard.

2 revelations.

"Not 7, not 10, not anything like that"

Ok, here they are.

1) If I'm erratic with my blogging style, then a certain cheerful fruit won't be able to copy me, right, right?

2) English adv exam won't be so hard. I estimate 30 mins for reading, 50 mins for essay, spent.

50 x 28 = (100 + 40) x 10

= 1400, right? Well. I'll aim for 1.2k

Anyway.

That's just those two, but also, analysing your own work is always a bit =/

Cause there's some nice techniques, but probably not all that intentional.

No, actually they're obviously intentional to showcase my brilliant writing skills. =)

But if I'm erratic now, I think they'll just copy some earlier post.

Oh wait.

I doubt they'd have the time to copy the style of one of the longer rambling posts.

These ones just have nice breaks so even if you're skimming, you're likely to read it all. Which is what I want.

Obviously, style tailored to the reader. I skim, so my writing style's like this.

Tehe.

Also...hm.

Yes, I'm a little more confident for English. Only a little though.

I can do the spot analysis, fine. But the essays always gonna be "bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeegh"

Sort of. Hand written + essay = unhappy me. Sometimes.

And who's with me for counting down till 12PM (afternoon) May 11?

That's the Bio Prac exam, and after that I'll have nothing to do for the next 3.5 days except SC, WC3, SC, WC3, MTG, WC3, SC...

Etc.

At least, IIRC that's the last day.

So to recap.

Evasive action? Probably not
Tests? They're starting to become much more manageable. It feels like last year when I didn't study much. Except, that I know I won't get crappy marks, like last year.

That's about it.

Hoping I'm right about it all.
