So, forgive me if my msn bugger up once in a while, i'm having to use pidgin now. Ah well.
Nothing much to be said or done, except a nasty red ink stain and a nice desk.
Hoping you have a really nice desk somewhere.

Nirvana or Bust
It's like gambling, actually, very much so. Almost guaranteed to lose, and guaranteed to lose, in the long run? I could be very much wrong. But i don't need to know the meaning of very big things if the details do no add up.
"Anything is only as good as the sum of it's parts"
Not an actual quote by anyone famous quotable, but i like the ring.
I also hate the canteen's doughtnuts. Eugh. Plus the icing. The icing is dead set horrible. Too much sugar to be of any goodness. Back to "real" doughnuts it is.
Hoping you never, ever, eat something as bad and as overpriced for it's value as that.

So, I'm not quite sure, anymore.
Does everything need a reason? Yes. Why should everything have a reason? Because without it, what is the point. And i doubt you can find anything that can be done without a reason, because it's rather hard and in my view, undoable.
Which leads to the "what is the reasoning behind life?"
Hoping you don't have any stupid arguements with someone who makes bad analogies.

Well, i guess it could be called "Self-Learning"
But i'm not a fan of it, and neither is the wind. Also, the color idea didn't quite work before so i'm going to try this out, just a few times.
So... for a while, i'll be fiddling around with coloring, and i suppose purple on black looks good, but it needs a different font..hmm.
Also, don't blame me for weird colors, i don't really mind, actually, highlight if you must to read.
Although, the flashy colors are quite nice, too.
Hoping you like the color, too. I sure do.
Turns out number fiddling doesn't work. Oh well.

Was thinking i needed a little color for the page
At least for the next few days.
Though it's funny how "Religious" is counted as a "good" trait. Ha. Religion. Anyway, I apologize for that. Sorry.
Hoping you like the color as well! Better on a black bg, too!

Ah, back again to the void. Of nothing.
While there is a lot of things to be done, it's not exactly the most interesting of all stuffs and like foodstuffs, or unlike, or otherwise, not so tasty. So, I'm not sure any more, but i really ought to stop using contractions so much in my essays. Grr..
"John Howard has a purple Afro. Nothing exists outside of the text"
Hoping you can find of more things, plus a panel and maybe plus gay-ness.

A new take on some old things.
So there's a poem to be read
Then commented on
And it reminds me of joanne burns's works.
It's all a little bit weird
But it does have some meaning
And its fun to impose my opinion into something
Someone else will read
And it won't matter
Except to me.
"Analyse the value of the text for modern audiences"
Or some variant thereof. It's rather interesting because it clearly says "Analyse", but this doesn't mean anything because the marks don't mean anything either, and thus, i shall follow those guidelines, read the text later; put it on the to-do and carry on. It just means that i have to shove in my opinion of a Catholic or otherwise text and to "analyse" it's value + prove with very vague techniques and so on, till i waffle onto the point, without quotes or lack of thereof, and thus, get to the intended point which is not a delicious waffle, but an undelicious and restrained waffle, as if you got a waffle maker, then added gelatin to your waffle, and out comes the restrained waffle and unbelievably undelicious; almost like marshmallows, but again, nothing like it.
Wheeeeee. Run on sentences from 3rd grade. Love them. Esp. because it makes sense, and yet, is anyone going to read it? I do believe that whole paragraph is...4 sentences? Fulfilling the quota was never so satisfying.
Hoping you finish all the things needed to be done. I can see about 10. Inclusive or otherwise of texts and pondering...
"A student analysed data from a certain hospital and arrived to this conclusion:
"More people die after being admitted to hospital, than those who stay at home."
Is this true? Why/Why not?"
Does that mean to say, a correct answer could be "True, because nothing exists outside of the text"?

Regarding color pencils
I won't be putting it in my pencilcase, they'll sit in their packet until i need to use them, but i'm not sure how often i will use them. Decisions, decisions.
But it does look quite nice, the light colors like blues, yellows and oranges, especially because you can't see the shoddy lines everywhere when i use them to shade and whatnot. And i hate the "sharpenings" method. It's the one where you get the pencil, shave off only the color bits and them rub them around with your fingers. Personally, it's weird an ineffective, plus it has the additional downside of being incredibly boring and doesn't look like you're getting anywhere until you compare it with uncolored (relatively white) paper.
But really, it just means one more thing to think about getting the next time i go to the shops (which, isn't too often, but perhaps i shall tommorow; i need black card and a textbook thingummy and...maybe i'll find the color pencils then).
Just because:
Favorite Food/s: Marshmallows, Fluffy Doughnuts, Vanilla Ice Cream
Favorite Color/s: In terms of dress sense (ha, ha.) Black, but that's mainly because all the loose-ish clothing i have is black, and really, Black isn't that bad of a color.
Favorite Composer: Tomohito Nishiura/ZUN. I really can't decide.
Biggest Fear: Now, i'm not opposed to manipulating someone, but i draw the line at killing someone. Mainly because it means i can't talk to them anymore.
Hoping I can decide between Faber-Castell and Derwent. (Haven't really tried Derwent, but my pride won't allow for cheap color pencils. Like, the ones that you have to sharpen 10 times before they're of SOME use.

As my grandfather might say..
"No you're wrong" (In gratuitous Mandarin) and perhaps i wasn't going during the "standard" paying times, but it wasn't too far off and for another reason, this was to put money on a printing card which was done on a machine before and thus, i see no reason for the shift in places of that machine or whether they do it somehow else, but it still does not mean i can't try. And at least not get yelled out with an uber frown.
One of these days i'm going to get me a set of color pencils and actually treat them nicely. Because the current set i have is all scratched from being in my pencilcase, almost unused for 4-5 years and in side are bits of...
1.Metal
2.Broken/Shattered Plastic (Mainly from the dismantling of pens. I actually cracked the cases because i chew on my pens occasionally. Then i just take them apart.)
3.There was at once point a sharpener in there, which with my pieces of metal, could be dismantled into a piece of plastic and a somewhat sharp blade. I got rid of the sharpener because it shattered.
So...Faber-Castell or Derwent? It'd also be nice if it had a metal case..hmm...
Due to an accident with an eraser, i ended up ripping a hole in the right picture of the Diptych i'm making. Which is all a bit frustrating, but it was just pencil and a bit of changing. Nothing to dramatic...Though it now means i can experiment with border placement; thus i can move the boundary....oooh! It'll look so much more than 2 pictures cut in half or meant to be stuck together side by side. Although in retrospect it sort of looks like Cirno. But not quite, and it WILL be mine work.
What started as hands turned into wings, and it's all detatched and it's all symbolic.
Hoping the judges understand.

Now apart from Fluffy Doughnuts
Which are quite nice, plain; that is, without any icing and fillings (fillings...eww) they are quite nice. Otherwise, no, not really. Aside from that is unfilled sponge cake and marshmallows which are the more favorite foods or confectionaries or whatever of all time for me. Chocolate? Bah! It's so...milky? It's really weird after the first bite and somehow i don't really like it. Besides the mouth ulcers which is another reason, and i still like the sugary marshmallows better, but they're hard to home make without going out to buy gelatin and sugar and more sugar and some vanilla flavouring. Oh and vanilla ice cream. Yes, they're all "desserts" but whatever.
Now apart from that, i wish that those office ladies would show the same courtesy that they expect from others. Sometimes it's bearable, but others... "We're closed. Come tommorow." All the while while pulling down the shutters. Now, it would be fine, but i had no idea, the shutters were up anyway, and she had an intense frown upon her visage. So i'm left standing there, slightly angry and more to the point, annoyed, because i needed to print something. But all was well and i actually had printing money which i did not know of. Actually, all is not well, because i'm not particularly well, and neither is a certain group task where a member is making unjustified excuses to shirk work. Maybe i'm just being biased, but this is my viewpoint and i'm not some kind of omnipresent god or something. (Heck. I'm not even religious, Terra-damn!")
And so i'm left where i sort of started; not understanding and not particualarly too happy about it either. Thus spawns my hate of group tasks. My ego can't allow slackers and my pride can't allow people doing equal or more work than me.
But other than that, upon talking to an old friend from 3 years past, i came to realise that i was blind, because they deserved better. The problem was that they didn't care. Oh well. She was sadder then. And i wonder what made her change...
Hoping you like desserts. (Which ones?)
