generalisation is an idle and most false imposition...
A classic story of love, hate, and high adventure.
More like a lecture on generalising...
It was my godfather's girlfriend's birthday today, and naturally it was held in a restaurant at Northbridge. The place was crawling with Asians.
On the way up and down that goddamn Northbridge carpark there were god knows how many gay ass cars squealing as if the world was going to end, that very moment.
(ah lian/ah beng count: 12)
Anyways, as I considered the dire need for Asian men with penises (sp?), I walked past what *used* to be Choi's Inn, a very nice eating place, I would recommend it, if it hadn't turned into a LAN parlour. You guessed it in one.
Counterstrike.
(ah lian/ah beng count: 728!!! j/k, approx 53 )
I won't dwell on that part of my topic. As we walked past Choi's Inn, I saw the bright and flashing lights of Update City. Yes, here we go. This place, for those of you who have had the good fortune of never visiting this area of Perth, is filled with bubble tea containers. The epitome of asianization. Thus I was not in a good mood when I walked in the restaurant. (Too many Asians you see)
(ah lian/ah beng count: approx 53 )
Walked into restaurant. Crabs looked nice
(ah lian/ah beng count: approx 68)
Anyways seating arrangements were so that I was seated with the adolescents (note this is a very generalised term). I was thinking Oh God...I am spending the night with a bunch of Indonesians. And they really were. Asian/Indos. As Asian as you can get. Dyed hair, mobile phones, the works. (It didn't help that the chick and her boyfriend were sipping bubble tea.)
(ah lian/ah beng count: approx 68+4=72)
We talked about stuff, me, her boyfriend, the little brother and the older brother (read, pimpable guy. I could make lots of money out of him), ate food, ate cake, (I drank Chardonnay), and went home.
Here comes the gist of the problem. I liked them. I really liked them. I didn't think tonight was a waste of time. They were cool people, something I never would have expected. I admit I am racist. I also generalise. Tonight taught me that I can be wrong too, that I shouldn't judge people, by the way the look, act, or how Asian/ American/ Irish/ Australian/ ofxggulasfj they may seem. Because usually that is a facade. It's also greedy and hypocritical of me to demand other people to see what is the true me. Because what I present to the world is a facade too. I can say with confidence that only a few people really understand me.
So really, upon consideration, I've been foolish, even stupid in my customary "classification system" of people, objects that really cannot be classified at all.
I guess tonight was a realisation of sorts.
As I trudged back to the car, I resolved never to jump to conclusions again. Crossed my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye, and will never judge a book by its cover.
It might last until Wednesday.
But try it anyways. Who knows, you might be the better for it.
(ah lian/ah beng count: X)

All Over the World
Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. I don't believe it. I actually rammed the damn reset button all the way into the computer. There's *no* way to get it out, so now, I'm just sitting there looking at the little hole in the tower. I'm hoping that my brother won't kill me. Damn damn reset button.
I'll fix it tomorrow
On brighter notes, I borrowed a whole stack of videos...
Lantana
The critics loved this. I loved it, but probably not for the same reasons. I liked it because it seemed like a foreign mark, but everything was so familiar, eg: The police uniforms, Nick's thongs and the ABC news. I don't know, it was a bit like American Beauty but in Australia? Lower budget too. The opening scenes were gorgeous and creepy. The whole thing had a kind of dramatic feel, so I wasn't surprised to find out that it was originally written as a play. The music was ok, a bit repetitive at times, however I do like the guitar work. Acoustic guitar. The script was well written, and the casting was great. Everyone really seemed to come alive in their roles. Especially Sonya, (the actress' name just slipped my mind). The story was (dare I say it) impeccable, it really forced you to think, in much the same way as American Beauty, but in a much narrower, focused scale. If you've finished reading to this incredibly poor summing up of how great Lantana was I do sugguest you watch it if you haven't already. It's a harrowing, evocative film that is guarenteed to make you shiver. (At least!)
The Handmaid's Tale
A big disappointment. I had finished the book and was geared up, ready to go, only to experience the biggest letdown. Only once in the whole film did they manage to convey the subtle terror that Atwood's novel inspires, and that was during the opening scenes where the Unwomen and Ethnics are being loaded into supply crated to be taken away to the colonies, with the creepy mechanical noises in the background. All the rest was just cheaply done.
Most of the thrill in the original novel was that the punishments were silent, that you were left to yourself to slowly go mad. The 'pschological thriller' that was promised on the cover of the tape was as subtle as a slap in the face.
Another disappointement was the exclusion of Offred's 'layers'. I understand that it is hard to follow the novel's chronological order, but to me, the lack emphasis on the regime's influence on Offred's mind was the greatest dissatisfaction. Never in the movie are we allowed into her mind, this stems from the ommision and editing of vital scenes; the killing of the Commander (what IS that?)which is not in the book, the significance of the word Mayday and especially the part in the novel where Offred capitulates totally to Gilead (much like Winston does in Orwell's 1984), all those scenes that truly commented on human behaviour were excluded.
Instead we are presented some trumped up fairytale where true love conquers all. Excuse me while I puke.
This is getting really long. Other stuff I borrowed were Othello, (BBC) Othello, (Sir Lawerence Oliver version), The Lion King and Pride and Prejuduce (BBC)
Excuse me. I think I'll go and indulge my romantic twitch...

Man, my birthday celebrations rocked. The presents did too. Thanks guys I love you all heaps. Makes me feel so loved. I'm looking at the Bruce Lee figurines and wondering if I can dress him up like Pyron. *Anyways* digital photos forthcoming.
Pictionary and charades are truly the god of party games.
We stuffed ourselves, and there was an *icecream* cake! uwaaaaah! I *love* my mother. Really, an *icecream* cake. I'm going to get a slice now. Then there was the jelly, and the homegrown watermelon ala Caroline, and..I'll stop now. I had so much fun.
The sleepover was cool too (Arj in a shower cap!) and really loud; we woke up my brother, who proceeded to be very grumpy for the rest of the day. *lol* Aww. Grumpy bro.
In a break of topic here, I'd like to say that I have this urge to draw Ren as a crying screaming uke.

I'm disgusting.

Hikari
Ah!Shikamaru is cool! Well, I always thought he was cool, ever since book six... just he's even cooler now. *00* He better not die. Bah, I'd like to see him become a part of the Naruto-tachi (instead of that damn Sasuke...), but the probablility of that is pretty low, since Naruto's all about team-ness, and since he wasn't in Kakashi's class in the beginning, well. And I think I'm the only one that sees the Shikamaru x Ino pairing. (Ahah, to me its *so* obvious.) If anyone has any ShikaIno sites please, by all means send. She deserves better than that ass Sasuke. Whoah, major Sasuke bashing here. Just cause I like SasuNaru pairing, doesn't stop me from thinking he's an ass. But anyways, Wonderwall has updated. I *love* this site. Damn, ltd time, must blog later. Probably in about 4 or five days time, when its the holidays.
*wishing the days will go faster*

Watched Queen of the Damned with Emmo yesterday, since noone was home. Nothing much to say, cept Lestat reminds me of my former viola tutor. Yeah, he sang industrial too. If you want a review from someone who knows, go here Didn't make *any* comments of any sort to Em, and damn I'm hexa proud of it. *lol* Spent most of the night there, got picked up late by my bro.
Oooh, watching Speed. Keanu...mmmm. The last 15 minutes of the movie is just unnecessary.
Uh, yeah watched Beauty and the Beast on the IMAX last week. (Has it been that long since I blogged?) Hoo, I'm such a Disney whore. Me and Ching were crying during the whole thing, I reckon it's because the IMAX is so much bigger that the other cinemas, so our reactions are magnified. Anyways, I love old Disney movies they are great. And I wanna see Kingdom Hearts.
Um...anyone wanna join
For people who are oblivious to the world. It's a really sweet cliche.
Argh, for any SasuNaru fans out there, thought I think I'm a lone crusader exept maybe Ruaki (who is now into HoroRen, SK-forth! ay) here's a piece of apple pie. Looks weird and...orange. Was going to use this for my site top pic, but, as usual, always end up disatissfied with them in the end.
Birthday coming up soon. *end random plug* Nah seriously, all you, don't bother about getting my presents aye? Save the money for the end of year trip.
Uhm, anyone get the quote up there? George Orwell's 1984. I think if all those people who are so desperate to be a contestant on Big Brother actually *read* that book, they'd be a lot less happy to join. And a lot less viewers would be watching it too. Ack, never again will I read an Orwell book for *recreation*
Must away now, the homework awaits...

Do Not Go To The Store next to Utopia. Rip off central aye. Wanted to borrow Shaman King, 1-4, but someone borrowed 3 and 4. I was like, ok, yea, cool I'll take disc 1 and 2. Until they told me I could keep it for 2 nights. 2 nights. I don't go to the city that often, (just in case you didn't know), so its impossible for me to get it back in two days. I told the guy ok, how much do I have to pay up. He said since I'm not a member I have to pay deposit. I flipped. Poor high school student like me, trying to get my friends birthday present ( I KNOW its a deposit and I'll most likely get it back, but still), I just said, Ok, well maybe next time then. He said if I become a member, then its per disc, for a week (I think, he was talking canto to me, so I'm not really sure)
Scratch the opening statement. Only go to the store near Utopia if you are a member.
Hm, on that trip I also bought a Zoro mobile phone deco. Its so cute! Just wait till the green fades away. Eh heh, they didn't colour his earrings in, so it just looks like he has one fucked up earlobe.
Alternativly...this is interesting. PSX gaming for training boys for bondage? *disturbed*
Well, better get back to sketching that weird KamiKaze-esque Kakashi...-.-"

When It's Over
I don't care if you are my friend or not, don't you DARE tell me to do with my school life. If you're so sick of hearing people complain about it, just *fucking go away*. I can't stand to listen to you're patronizing 'philosphy', when I've been driving myself to the brink to get my marks. Like, the bane of my life has been school. I have zero life because of school.
I'm fucking home *sick* because I had 3 assesments in two days. All the fucked up shit with my parents has stemmed from school and the insecurities its built within me.
So. Don't presume to tell me to 'shut up and get on with it'.
And never, *never* say that "it will all be over". Because, as far as I'm concerned, it never will be.

How much sleep I get during the *normal* school term. I am ready to roll over and hibernate for the next forty years or so.
Leareth The adjudicator said we won the case, but the class voted overwhelmingly against us, just because two of the most popular guys were in the other team. Ah hah, the irony. Personally, I think our argument *did* have a few holes, but we *sure* as hell kicked the other team's. Anyways, its Larkins opinion that counts so to HELL with the rest of you who voted against us.
Somebody help me. My brother is seriously into Yami no Matsuei. Help.

Shitting Irritably
I hate year 12. It's kind of daunting, all the subjects, the syllabus, the need to score, need to score, to score, score. Anyway, I royally fucked up my EPW hardcore, practically failed, even my teacher felt some sympathy and decided to pass me. That's worse knowing I passed only on charity. On the other hand, I *totally kicked ass* in the physics test. Phwar, it was so *easy*. And not a single fucking thing about black holes.
YESYESYES!!~~ ADVEEEEEEEEEENTURE WORLD! *dances* I love Physics now. Adventure world tomorrow to *see how the rollercoasters work* (snicker)
Need to do my Political/Legal oral, Chemistry, and *Maths*. I fucking hate numbers. You can't pull them out of your ass cuz they just get stuck.
Bah. I'm not happy with Lit either. Gay ass texts. I mean *Cloudstreet*...Bloody 'a, the only quote I can actually *remember* is practically useless...

....bwahaha...
Looking at some SasuNaru art. Doi, I am such a SasuNaru bitch, used to be a KakaIru, but I'm digging SasuNaru. Sexy sexy Sasuke, with pretty pretty Naruto. (If Aya is out there reading this, I'm sure she's gonna kill me).
Listening to AyuTrance. (Was I listening to this before?) Ehm. Last night I went out to the city. With friends! I actually have a social life. God I hate school. Yeah anyways, me, Dingles, Claire, Emmo and Taz went round looking for ball dresses. (this is what you missed out simee) I so *heart* Taryn in *any* ball dress. Same with Claire. And I got to do up Emmo's dress! *leers*. Bleh, stayed in the city all day, had to wait outside Pot Black, would you believe, while the others went to take a piss. Fuwah man, the cigerette smell just floored me, so I opted to hang round outside and look all hardcore. *lol* Yeah after that we went to Old ShangHai to eat dinner. Mwah the rest ate Mr Samurai, but I opted for stir fry haw fan. Go the oily greasy, fat loving people.
Missed the bus to Dingles', had to catch the one to my house instead, got off at the wrong place, and was honked and whistled all the way home. I swear, we looked like a bunch of ho's, and it's all Em's fault aye. Anyways, once we got back , my bro was having *another* mahjong party...(that boy). It was all noisy and shit, so my friends left pretty quick. They were watching some WWF vcd Henry brought over. *lol*
Anyways, leareth conned me into drawing...stuff. Stop contaminating my mind!!! Damn the writing is being eaten up. *happily presses the [insert] button.
Oh yeah, top mark for my non cultural identity essay.
Worship me.

Where was I anyways? Oh, about my art site. Its getting there, but I don't have much time, school and all. (Damn fuck shit momma) It ALL comes back to school. And school=hw/study=no time=no drawings. That isn't quite true actually. My file is full of doodles, which I do plan to scan, because they actually are quite amusing. -.-''
Got scunted by the relief political/legal studies teacher. For being *rude*. Its not my fault if the affirmative team had such SHITTY arguments that made me laugh. Old bitch. (one thing I notice is that my language/temper deteriorates proportionally to the time I spend in school.)

Leareth says the first one is correct. Most vocally. In my ear. If ever I write a fanfic (god, any of them forbid,) at least I'll get something right. (On a miscellaneous note, I am now a rabid Lynn Fwelling fan. -.-)

and I bid a fond adieu...
Tomorrow this time I'll be in Malaysia. I'm not too sure if I'm happy about it though. There's a little something about Australia. I'm not too sure what it is. I think its the griping. Yeah, I love griping about what a hole this place is and whatnot. Or maybe its the sun. Gotta love that dinkum brightness. I *like* this hole. Be not fooled with my complaints about how its impossible to get this and that around here. Hrm *shrugs*
Could also be the fact I'm going to be internet-less for the next couple of weeks.
Yesterday was pretty fresh in my mind, so I'll start from there. Went to see "Our Lady of Assassins", with Leareth (who also taught me how to spell "assassins" correctly : It has FOUR S's you fool! Er, five if you want it plural) Brief summary of the show: (non spoiler)
Set in Medellin, Columbia, focussing on the gay, world weary writer Fernando, who upon returning to the town is shocked by (just about everything) the violence there. He
has returned there, presumably to die.
His life picks up a bit though, when he keeps Alexis, a teenage hitman/whore, whom he picked up in a gay brothel. (side note: Alexis is pretty) They both learn lots about life, with various deep conversations and killings (kudos to Alexis) And, if I'm correct, they have sex just about every night (0.o) (side note: Alexis is pretty). Things get nasty, nasty things happen and Alexis is still pretty...I'll leave it there, but I jsut have to say, I don't like the other guy. Wilma. He's not as pretty as Alexis. Apparently Alexis' actor (Anderson Ballesteros), has done time himself, for break and enter, and kidnapping, (0.o) so all through the movie I was thinking *jailbait*. Even thogh the movie was quite graphic, they had toned it down from Fernando Vellejo's novel, where Alexis killed something like 100 people in the time he was with Fernando. Hrm, me and leareth had fun totalling the body count. Overall its a shocking and disturbing film that makes you, (well me, at least) question the value of human life, religion, relationships and mascara on boys. (side note: Alexis is pretty)
Sometime before, Me and Caro went to the Garbo cinema. (I'm such a movie whore) The plan was to watch HP (which I had not seen yet) and LoTR in one go. Which we did. We came prepared, oh yes. Very prepared. 1.5 L cokes, minties, Red Rooster, yeah baby, we had it all. HP was ok, the cinema was filled with little kids, me and caro were the oldest people there excluding the little kids' parents. Spent half the movie trying to find out exactly who Warwick Davis. Mwhaha he rules. (misc quote: No! You *stupid* hag!) By the time we worked out it was Flitwick, we had guessed about a dozen of the goblins at Gringotts already. Anyways, went to chuck a piss (WMESB), could still hear the music in the toilets. When I got back, we made heaps of noise. Caro lost it during the Snape/Draco exchange, and the kids in the front turned around to stare at me, when I commented I'd like to molest Radcliffe while he's wearing all of Dudley's old stuff. (Hrm, cute baggy shit, obviously turns me on). And there was Dumbledore. Caro's loud assertion that Richard Harris was going to "cark it any minute" was greeted with some worry amongst the younger of the audience. (Although I *do* tend to agree with her. I thought the old guy was meant to be lively) And Voldemort reminds me of those shrivelled granny apples where you can carve faces and stuff, except it moved. Despite all this I enjoyed it though. Waiting for movie 3. *Sirius!* *Remus!*
LotR. I do believe I've put my input on this subject already. Uh, except contrary to what I previously thought, that is NOT Sir Ian Mckellan's (er spelling someone?), real nose. And yes, I can see Aragorn's actor (what IS his name now?) playing Sirius Black. *grins* Mmm, Aragorn was nyummy, and was happy to see Emmo and Dingles agreed with me. (Yeah Caro you can just GO off with that girly man.) There was a big oopsie about the whole trip; It was Caro's parents' anniversary and she just missed the entire thing.
Various random thoughts. Spent a while d/l'ing old songs, (for ever and ever you will stay in my heart and I will love you...) when I came across one with some rather interesting shiriruu potential...(italics are mine)
I'm comin' home, I've done my time,
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine,
If you received my letter (owl),
Tellin' you I'd soon be free,
Then you'll know just what to do,

LotR, slash and Potter sl0res
Fuckbugger, I always mean to blog, but as usual I never do. Bleh. Happy New Year all, late, but I'm a bit like that. While everyone was out partying/singing/getting smashed, I slept. Slept through the changeover of old year to the new. Slept alone. How sad. The house was totally empty too. Hosted a party the next day though, we went crazy with the sparkler things. *smiles*
Since my sense of time is well and truly gone, (typical in the holidays) I'll just say that I went to see LotR on...Monday. Monday sounds about right. And DAMN! It was good. Granted Jackson committed to heinous sin of excluding Tom Bombadil totally and Glamdring was meant to glow, and there must have been a huge chunk cut out when the Fellowship were with Galadrial, and really I could go on. Despite this, I actually liked the movie. Granted I'm not a total Middle-Earthian, hell, I haven't even made it to the thrid book yet, (started reading it beginning of Grade 7, gave up at the two towers mid-Grade 7), but I knew enough to gripe about its faults, not enough to appreciate it thoroughly, but still, I enjoyed it as a movie. The scenery was brilliant, I found myself frequently saying, "This is *NEW ZEALAND*", (my experience on NZ was limited to our music tour last year, which was close to nil) Also good was the Balrog. I couldn't rip my eyes off the screen. (Later I had to run off to use the toilet, but I'm not sure if it was because of the Balrog or because of my WMESB (Watching Movies Equates to Shrinking Bladder). Anyways, I'd like to say here I didn't sit and drool at Orlando Bloom. *looks at Caro* I don't know, there's something about that fellow. Maybe its the darkness of his eyebrows when compared to that 00 wig. I'm willing admit, however, that all the bg/miscellaneous elves were all urksome. Not pretty. (Hugo weaving wasn't pretty and I kept seeing a drag queen/Agent Smith whenever I looked at him.) Fight scenes, awesome if you are into that kind of thing, though they tended to the repetitive.
The Nazgul scared me shitless.
It is truth universally acknowledged that Elijah Wood is too pretty to be a hobbit. The rise of LotR slash fandom is increasing in a disturbingly steep curve ever since the litheness that is Orlando Bloom graced our screens. Disturbing in a way that Legolas/Gimli fanfics are being spawned. Disturbing that people consider Aragorn/Legolas as a given. Disturbing when we watched the scene where Aragorn *coughs* Boromir when he *coughs*. I admit images were running wild in my head at the last. But still, in all seriousness, cannot fathom LotR slash. Even Smeagol/Deagol. It was *commen* back then to use endearments such as love. ("Give us the ring Deagol love") LotR slash is just something I'll probably never warm up to, because I'd just like everyone to leave Papa Tolkien's work alone. Doesn't mean you have to, but that's my stand on things.
See, Tolkien is such *heavy* stuff. *lol*
I believe in ShiriRuu raburabu
The Happy Valley Puppy Farm is the site for S/R conversion. I was a Snape/Lupin fan once, however, unlike the MinJin fandom, it wasn't the quality of fics which drove me away. (Snape/Lupin fics were good and *are* still good, and will *always* be good, unless it gets blown way out of proportion like Draco/Harry). Nah, it was because I found a couple I liked more. Sirius Black. Remus Lupin. Why am I trying to explain this when you could just go here *pushes to 2000LS
I still say Elijah Wood is too pretty to be a hobbit...

A roundabout way of Saying
I'm tired of this. People are so fucking fickle. If you all hate me so much, why don't you just say so huh? Don't run me around in your fucking patronizing way, *pretending* that you're my friend, because really you're not. Right now I [feel] like not a single fucking person can really stand up and say, "Shut the hell up 'mei, I'm your friend, always have always will be " You know why? Because not one of you has.
Honestly its getting so obvious, the way conversations are geared towards silences, the "...Sorry I'm busy can't make it, maybe some other time hey?" I'm sick of you pulling out on me. I'm sick of falling because I expect people to be there. At least have the fucking decency to tell me. "'Mei, you are a two bit crackwhore and I fucking hate your guts because of [insert reason(s)], and I never want to see you again."
At least be courteous enough to treat me the same way I would treat you.

Green Apples
Tired. Very tired. The last couple of days have been the most eventful of the holidays. *happy sigh* And all because of Ching's sleepover. Sleepover isn't perhaps the right word for it, because we got absolutely no sleep at all. Watched the Michael Jackson 30th concert *twice*, which spawned the "I love you" phenomena, Guilmore Girls (good *lord*), and Survivor, (we all secretly love Big Tom's yokel "aw hell"s). And you know what Jello et all talked about the entire night?
Harry Potter. I'm probably getting off the subject here, but now I guess I have to admit it. I'm a Potter sl0re. I didn't want to, it wasn't my idea. But it happened. I'm sorry. (However, I *do* think the fourth book was overrated. And I did not cry when...yeah) Oh yes, I'm gonna name my firstborn Sirius. He's too cool I tell you. And
the next one Remus. Damn man he better be back in the fourth book, because now, I'm a staunch supporter of any SiriRuu rabu rabu. *grins* But I still don't see how you can spend an entire night in conversation.
Yeah anyways, I found out something pretty cool during those few days. SOOK LIKES SLASH Okay, well maybe not the whole m/m thing, but she like Rhysenn's Irresistable Poison! I was like, nowayCarolineI'mgoingtokillyou, why the hell did you send a *slash* fic to my straightest friend in all the earth. But then it sunk in. Sook likes slash! She actually likes Malfoy because of it! She's open minded! (She still dislikes Snape, but I'm working on that) We spent the whole night deep in conversation. The whole night. Conversation topics included Irresistable Poison, Neville/Snape S&M fics, how Tom Felton needs to look more malnourished, green apples, flatulating (sp?), b/f talks, and the obligatory "analyse your own family". Needless to say we were bummed out the entire next day. I went to sleep at nine pm
There was the city trip inbetween our conversation and my catching up sleep, of course. Mwah, Perth has its very own Diagon Alley! Yeah, me, Caro and Em, spent an hour and a half walking Londen court, renaming the shops, fantasizing it was Diagon Alley.
And we looked out out of the second story windows.
Kept my spending to a minimum. Got the rest of my HP books, drank some hexa foine-ass Java drink, then ran home. That took about seven hours.
Whoah, I am so tired. Green Apples.
*grins at Sook*

Dysfunctional Teenagers
God, I am so sick of damn teenagers and their obsession with angst. Yes, I'm still a teenager, but you know, I never never parrot around that "my life is so much worse than yours" shit. Granted some people have the right to angst over their lives, but the majority of people don't, they do it just to show they are anti-world. These people just end up being slotted into the category saved especially for these kind of adlocsents who are going through a period of "self hate", which serves as a means for justifying their own meagre lives. Get over it already. The world does not revolve around you.
Live with it.

All Nighters
Listening to "If You Open Up Your Mind". Really lovely song. Actually, I listened to it for about seven hours on repeat one. Finally, finally finished drawing those calender pics, for Wings Symphonia (Jie, is ok to advertise right? btw, I wasn't cussin you or nothing, being a slave driver is *good*. For you anyways). As it happened, after I finished drawing the pics, I couldn't connect with Lian to pass my .psd files. So, had to upload them, those 6M files, onto the server. *screams*. I guess last night couldn't be called a *true* overnighter, because I was only up till five in the morning. It was dawn already. And the Saiyuki song was still going.
I got about four hours sleep, before I moved off to Alicia's house, to watch dvd's. Watched Moulin Rouge, and was surprisingly dry eyed while everyone else was in tears, considering I'm such a hardcore romantic. After this *deep breath*...
I TOUCHED A PLAYSTATION TWO!!!
First time ever! Me and Sonya duked it out on Tekken Tag. It was familiar, like every other Tekken, but considering my relative unfamiliarity with Tekken itself, (I'm a Soul/blade/calibur/edge girl) I think I did pretty well. Jin owns that game. XD
Bleh, *such* a boring week. All I did was cg, with my crappy painter classic, and graphire *moans*. Hrm, There are a few more links to cool blogs. This features her cool fanart of Goku, (I think, this girl was involved with GFics as well? Used to run Sechkies Premonition site). Part Time Pimp Naruto (synonymous with Kakashi) Fan. Actually its the first Naruto layout I've seen since I first got into the manga about a year and a half ago. Kahn's Page Nice designer feel to it, with some *very* nice links, and If your still looking for more, there's always Allie's Tailored Cinema.
Was reading Arcina's
Fic Reccomendations, when I spied a HP fic. Everyone knows I'm not the biggest HP fan ever, but I clicked anyways. And guess what? The stuff, although damn weird at first, (what? thirteen year olds snogging?)is actually very,very good. For more info on that thirteen year olds snogging 0.o, Kara has dedicated an entire blog explaining this. Anyways, now I decided I have to see the movie, if only to see Snape giving Draco *I want you, I want you so bad* look, and Draco's answering *come and get me* smile. Thanks for that Caro. *groans*
Hrm, Cindy dear, sorry that I was so er, nasty/self-absorbed/bitchy that day. You *do* know which day right? I was just a bit shocked. After Chung told me off though, I realised yeah, it wasn't your fault, you can't help what your mother thinks about me and my *type*, so yeah. Don't feel bad. Sorry If I made it seem like I was mad at you, because really I'm not. I'm mad at your mom and I don't think she should make judgements on me, without even having met me. Period. So, before Chung manages to guilt me even more, lets just leave it at that okies? *hugs*
Gotta get boardies for Saturday. The *beach*! Yeah! Its been so long. I can't wait. Need new boardies.
Hrm, current BGM is *still* If You Open Up Your Mind. Happy Waffy 39 images.
*smiles*

Give me love and money
*listening to Inital D Hyper Megamix and cuddling my pillow*
Hrm, I swear, everyone and their momma is online. Mmm, Jello just said my blog is interesting. *lol*...She's sweet. Her description of Kami-sama, mou sugoshi dake, is "the run and cry a lot". And this girl is going to Japan next year. *pulls face*
Lots of interesting things happened this weekend. There was the whole burping smoke episode. I swallowed my antibiotics..(pill form) without water so it didn't go completely down. I guess it dissolved in my esophagus. Anyways, a while later I was sitting in the toliet..
and burping and all this smoke came out. Took me about three burps to realise that it was the antibiotics. *lol*
Hrm, was Sonya's 16th on Saturday? It was cool, except for the fact they wanted to sing dowdy, (ie, not even decent) karoake, in favor of playing PS2!!! *arghhh, Tekken Tag, Dead or Alive 2, I'm still in shock* I've never even touched a PS2 before. That day, our guest, Bronte arrived. He's cool. I was like...*doii* we don't even know this guy, and hes coming to live with us for the weekend. But as it turned out he's really cool and cute, in his skinhead and tatts kind of way. Well, I thought so anyways. (Looked like he just got out of Casurina anyways) And his dog Peanut, was *so* cute. *silly grin*
Oh, yes, I've finally named my bonzai. Decided on Xin Yuan, my friend suggested this. Eum, it means, "wish", (I think), Huah, such a pretty name. Thanks to all of you who sugguested names, my bonzai feels very loved.
Been drawing non-stop these past few days, because Jie's a slave driver, Lian is a crazy-brick-throwing-CG queen,and Ck, is...well Ck. *grin* Not that I mind, though I have a headache now. Too much computer screen for extended periods of time.
Oh yeah, I found this in one of my old cleo mags...
Isn't it sexy!!! *bounce*, I want this boi. Seriously. I can imagine my ho all dolled up like this. And *wet*
Damn, everyone is msg'ing me. And its Monday. What's with that?

Anticlimaxes, Infected Eyes and Chuck Norris
My eye is hurting.
I have an infection. BUt i don't care. because exams are over. Just finished my Human Bio, which I totally flunked. So much for cram studying. And now I have a fucking eye infection. But, I . Don't. Give. A. Damn. Because I'm free for the next two months. Just this sense of relief, and an anticlimax (?), I'm not sure why, but its just, yeah exams are over.
Got some of my exams back, pretty good results, I *passed* Intro Calc, everyone celebrate what? Political and Legal is ok, got an A in that. Went to get my physics test...and my teacher *flirted* with me. Ew. But like I said, I don't care, (just pray I don't get him next year). Actually he never acts like that. Maybe he's just being nice. *pauses and thinks* Nah...
The huge long break also means that I won't get any perving on the ho. Damnit, I have to start a stalking campaign. Maybe Sook will know where he is and when. *big sigh* He is *so* pretty.
Eum, this layout? Is Metal Gear Solid. Very wack, cuz I was listening to the Initial D dance remixes while designing it. *nods* Initial D is cool, even if it is and ah beng show with fast cars and skanky girls. *lol* Ryousuke is to suave as Sanzo is to fuckalicious. Ah..Ryousuke Takashi...
Speaking of Saiyuki, I am now in possession of Leareth's Saiyuki VCD'S. Many drool fest. As the result...
Youkai Goku
I posted this in serveral forums, as an intro, because I'm very bad at fic writing. Jie would testify to this. Hrm yes well, Goku looks weird, he has man-boobs. *rubs hands ala Mark Wahlberg style*, and yeah, the petals don't fit in. I was telling Pea how I wanna draw Sanzo with a fluffy pillow...*LOLOLOL* (bounces around) Although I don't think he's the cuddly type, I didn't think Emily was the kinda person to have a pillow called Pippi so...*shrugs*
Hrm Sook's online...
Still listening to Initial D, but Walker Texas Ranger is on. Chuck Norris!!! *yay* Many people have claimed to have fought Bruce Lee, but Chuck Norris...that's indisputable. Anyways, *checks TV mag*... Ooooh JAG is on tomorrow. *bounce* :P~~~ Time for me and mum to drool. Oehaha so digusting we are. Like how we were like ooh ah at Madmortegan from Willow. (Val Kilmer).
Er. I'm rambling again...
Ack, before I forget...I GOT A BONZAI!!!
After Heimdal, (yeah, that was my very first bonzai) died of er, dehydration, I was so sad. I think mum felt sorry for me, so I have a new one. I don't know, I still feel sad, but I'm determined to do better with this one. Haven't thought of a name. If anyone has a name to suggest ,drop me a line. I'm listening.
My eye is hurting.

[ Blog *this* ]
Design:
clear-rain.net version:02 | BuLleTs and kNiveS |
The current layout of clear-rain.net features what is arguably, no *inarguably* the best game ever, Konami's Metal Gear Solid. I was planning on a white layout, using my friend's pic, but while I was playing mah *lovely* PSOne, Snake looked me in the eye, in that ultra cool way, and hid under a cardboard box. That's how the layout became MGS. Really. Gamers won't need me to tell them, but just in case, Solid Snake is in the foreground, looking mean as, Revolver Ocelot is the old guy at the back, Vulcan Raven is the buff with the raven on his shoulder, Ninja is stuck near the end, and the guy in the background is from MGS2: Sons of Liberty. Maybe Solidus or Liquid. I *want* this game. (NB: I want Devil May Cry as well)
And the title of the layout? C'mon, you guys should know this already.
your eyes, your eyes,
bullets and knives
