As predicted. Boringness sets in.

So I apologise for 2 weeks of absolute nothingness. Actually, no I don't, this is my blog so I'll write whenever I damn well please :P.

So what has James been doing these holidays? I've been out twice, once to Kynan's boxing day dinner which was of course filled with funness...(making up words?). Of course yours truly the mahjong mogul was slightly too good at it getting pongs everywhere and flowers and stuff, but we also (or I also? or like...some of us also?) met this cool guy called ryan. Oh gosh I hope his name was ryan...cause bit awkward if its something completely different like Steve or something. In short, I lost all my chips to 'ryan' of 2 or 3 rounds of blind poker. Damn luck. Then of course bartog (not even sure if thats how u spell it), snap, etc. for group fun :D (except no mafia D:)

Day after went to kif's for some farm fun. Got up extremely tired extremely dead after getting home the night before at 11ish and just kind of lay in bed staring at my ceiling telling myself to get the fuck out of bed before I fell back to sleep. Anyways, this too was an extremely fun fun fun day...but got hammered by kif in bball, despite winning the most games with the ruse trio team (YAY) and suffered taunts of the loss to the kings by the lakers....(but i'll veer away from nba talk seeing as none of you readers enjoy this topic)...and I got a few taunts in towards b1 for abandoning my purple and gold team for...THE HORNETS....=.=

But anyways. Woke up next morning sore EVERYWHERE. literally EVERYWHERE. did not even want to get out of bed. Damn i'm getting too old for such activeness ;)

HOWEVER, that has all been recovered and now I face my workload. English will be a delight. Maths (and woodhouse) will be a delight. 3 Sciences........plus extension english on top of 2u english work....

GAH

On reflection, this blog post was extremely poorly organised. Such low calibre of writing is not to be expected from myself on a regular basis and I apologise for the disruptive nature of this post.

Quiz? Meme? Questionnaire? Survey?

Given that the seashell economist was the one to encourage me to try my hand at another one of these, I've come out of retirement, stolen this little meme off the clothes line of the seashell economist and now eagerly anticipate the failure of it and my total destruction of it. quite fitting don't you think?

BEGIN

What are three things you did today?
Spray painted Morgan's delightfully red balls white.Then proceeded to over do it and get white sticky liquid all over my fingers. Which wouldn't come off so I ended up having to use turpentine to get it out. Oh, and I think Morgan mentioned turpentining his balls to get rid of some of the spilled over sticky white stuff.



sexual innuendo? in your endo. 

Would you rather sleep at a friend’s or have them over?
I would much rather sleep at a friend's. Unfortunately, due to the...'restrictive nature' of my parents, this has only been achieved once. As a side note, this would be a perfect set up for that joke that goes 'why do i have to clean my room? the party's not going to be in my room!' to which the parents would cackle evily to themselves and be all like 'oh but it is!'
Last thing you spent money on?
Bought a few BHP billiton shares. I think I'm going to get into the market by investing in a few blue chip shares to have a stable basis, before going for a few of the more riskier shares when I have the money to spare and the ability to take risks.

Do you believe that love lasts forever?
Father time is undefeated. He will capture everything. That includes love. Don't get me wrong, I'm not those people who run around screaming LOVE IS NONEXISTENT I HATE EVERYONE. before breaking down in a corner rocking back and forth in fetal position. Love can only go on for so long. Death is the ultimate master. Unless of course you possess the hallows. In which case love would last forever. It could even last fivever.

What’s your favorite season of the year?
Autumn. leaves are crunchy wherever you go. temperature is nice and cool. the night arrives earlier = more raves. equinoxes occur. it is one of the top 100 names for girls in the united states. it is considered to be the preferred season of the goddess of learning, Saraswati in Indian mythology. Canadian football is on. and professor wikipedia is amazing.

Do you hate when people call you when you’re sleeping?
Really depends on the person who calls me. Most of the time I won't mind. I'll probably use a few more expletives then normal but don't let that discourage you. It just means that from now on I'll stay up until 3am and call you repeatedly and hang up. Every night. For a year.

Do you talk a lot?
I don't think I do. Perhaps this is my highly inflated ego talking, but I prefer to think that I take a more logical, more thought out approach when talking. Well...serious talking. For serious topics I'll usually stay quiet unless I feel something that needs to be said hasn't been said. On non-serious topics, I don'te even noe whats going to come out of my mouth, nor the frequency at which it will manifest.

What are you looking forward to?
The school gym. Stealing questions off other blog memes are we now?

Are you nice to everyone?
I do try my absolute hardest to be. Actually. Let me rephrase that.I have varying degrees of niceness for people. For those who I've only just met, and who I barely know, I will try my hardest to be nice. Once I feel that the relationship has moved from acquaintance to friend, I either continue being nice or diverge into meanness showing only slight glimpses of niceness. When a person moves from friend to a person I consider a close friend, most likely I will be mean. I'll be caring and nice when you're down or in need, but in normal situations I'll be mean to the extent where I know you'll be able to tolerate it. Once close friend becomes best friend, or extremely extremely close friend, I will rarely ever be mean. Rarely. Still sometimes :P

Have you ever kissed anyone with a lip ring?
What the? NO? What if your tongue gets caught in it or some crap and it just rips the whole thing out. Holy shit that's scary. No fucken just no. If a girl has a piercing, apart from like ears, then in my mind it is 'nty'. unless our personalities are extremely good for each other. then i'll tell her to take that shit off.

What about braces?
nope? these questions are weird.

Are you slowly drifting away from someone?
Are pigs capable of flying on a normal day in opposite world, or on opposite day in the normal world? I'm disappointed. This meme showed potential. Then it had to ask a stupid question like this. Invariably human's lives will be affected by so many intangibles that relationships are a fluid concept, always changing. In fact, i'd say that the bond of two people is like the aether model. completely transparent, permeates all matter, massless, perfect elasticity (can both bring people together or make people go bye bye from each other) and makes as much sense as ulysses by James Joyce. You should read Joyce's delightful novel. 

Oh back on topic. I've moved schools. Of course I am. 

Do you get upset over the opposite sex easily?
Very rarely does anything upset me.I can't think of a scenario where any chick could really, REALLY upset me. Well, of course one girl in particular is excluded from this, but the act that would upset me is so grave that I will refrain from even mentioning it.

Ooooh yeah, I can be the mysterious dark horse too.

Do you wish things were better?
Please don't be so general. When the question is general, then my answer will be general. That makes for a general qusetionnaire, leading to general viewers being generally displeased with the generality of my responses which makes me as a blogger as angry as general grevious can get when he's thwarted by general obi-wan kenobi. Generally speaking, that's not a good feeling. General. (fuck da police)

Can you do the alphabet in sign language?
Challenge. Accepted. 

Do you wear glasses?
I recently purchased glasses. They have thin frames and are very unhipster. I wanted frameless, but my eyesight is too good and my lenses are too thin for that. Oh well. But, when I wore them, ms. jubilees looked at me weirdly xD

How have you felt today?
School's out! *breaks into high school musical routine*

Have you ever been in a hospital?
Aren't children usually born in a hospital? BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME.

Have you hugged someone in the past 24 hours?
Mmmmm. Nope. Oh actualyl yes. I hug my computer until I sleep every night. 

You receive $ without any reason, what do you spend it on?
Fuck the spending it on. The curiosity of the reason I receive the $ would drive me insane until I find out the reason for finding the money.

Does someone text you goodnight every night?
EVERY NIGHT? at approximately 25c per text over 365 days, that is $91.25 dollars spent on two words (or one word if you look at the question). WHO ON EARTH MAKES THAT KIND OF A COMMITTMENT TO ONE OR TWO WORDS? WHO DOES?

What do you hear?
Cause I hear your true colours shining through. I hear your true colours, and that's why I love you. 

Oh wait. whoops that doesn't sound right.

Do you miss anyone?
Mhmm :( That's ok though. GET TO SEE PERSON IN QUESTION TOMORROW :)

What are you craving at the moment?
I'm asian. I think I am craving dog rump with a side of bull penis and some stir fried rice.

Do you remember who you liked 3 months ago?
No brainer. DUH!

Do you think you can last in a relationship for six months?
I certainly hope so. Otherwise what on earth have I been doing for the past six months O_O

What’s your favorite thing to do in the summer time?
Make an inspirational dance movie about a poor boy who all his life has wanted to dance but never got support. Suddenly I try out for a small production, and i get the LEAD ROLE! THEN I SPEND MY LIFE DANCING AND TRAVELLING THE WORLD. 

When was the last time you were scared?
When Ruse only came first by 6% this year in HSC rankings. LOLJKS I'm not an obssessive noob.

Can you be single and happy?
Hmmm. Good question. You know, I thought long and hard about this question. Staring at the computer screen for over 20 minutes just thinking about single life. After casting my mind back, I think that I have been single and happy, but I no longer am able to. I  vaguely recall being single AND happy at the same time. I must've been around one year old in preschool and I was content to simply play blocks you know? But after the day to day life of generally playing with cards and toys, I felt empty inside you know? I felt like....there was a hole in my heart, like there was just this pinprick of a hole. But even though it was a small hole, I felt the pain. Every breath I took, and with every heart beat, I felt an overwhelming pain , a pain that engulfed me, that made me look at myself and made me look at the shallow child I was. That's when I went out and found myself a woman and BAM. No longer able to be single and happy :(

Whose bed did you last sleep in other then your own?
Your mums. OHHHHHHHHHH. Actually no, i'll retract that. It really was just too easy. Umm I really have no idea.

Does anyone know your password besides you?
Passwords are your identity. Give them to other people and you will regret it. Lol that being said the master of Jubilees knows one of my passwords (I alternate between two). Internet security at its best ;)/

Look around your room, is there anything that brings back memories?
Yeah my yellow fitzpatrick. I remember ruse orientation when I was still in year 10, i went to the library, and the librarian hands it to me, tells me to do some questions over the holidays and calls out 'NEXT'. 

Are you happy?
I think that there is too much sadness in this world. I am always in a state of happiness. 

Will this weekend be a good one?
If by weekend you mean friday and saturday, then yes. Exceedingly good.

Has anyone told you “Forever and Always” then left?
Thats a bit of a dick move. I would almost never say something like that unless I was absolutely sure that it was 'forever and always'. What kind of dickhead just says something like that willy nilly. dick move. 

Who do you sit next to in science?
Biology, my bag
Physics, i sit at a table with people, but usually i'll be with my bag
Chemistry....depends. Our table changes seats a lot. Sun, Austin, David have all sat next to me. If all else fails, my ever faithful bag will be there.

Yeah, forever alone. I KNOW YOU'RE THINKING IT.

Who was the last person you watched a movie with?
Yet another question stolen. Yet another question I will leave unanswered.

How many kids do you want to have?
If I had around 500 to 1000, I could train my own mini army and start my own little nation on an island somewhere. WE can all dream. Of course, this quantity might be slightly...err....overdemanding? of my  partner. So i think that I'll settle for 2 and make sure that they both become supergeniuses and amazing basketball players.

What do you want to get tattooed?
Nadim had a pretty cool tattoo in chem. It said I love human rights. That would be a rad tattoo to have. (and yes i did say rad)

Last girls house you slept at?
STUD ALERT STUD ALERT. THE OWNER OF THIS MEME IS A STUD. WOOHOOO.

Who with?
In my deepest fantasies? Mr. Darcy. OH how I love everything about him.

What are you doing tomorrow night?
hugging my computer. pay attention.

Victorian era

First of all allow me to announce my absolute annoyance at english. It is the one subject that requires you to find your own material that you must be able to answer a question on under exam conditions. It is the one subject that forces you to go out and find some barmy old codge's opinions on a matter no one cares about and regurgitate that opinion under exam period. It is the one subject which bestows upon you the task of memorizing quotes from a book that quite frankly is an uninteresting read. It is the one subject that has an exam based purely around one question, and there's no safety net; either you get it, or you don't. Most importantly, it is the one subject that actually is compulsory, and must be counted towards your HSC, despite being....'unique' ('abnormal').

But that's not what I'm here to talk about. Instead of the frustrating exam techniques that you have to endure, I'm going to have a go at the texts they force you to read. Well...fine, I'll be unbiased. They don't FORCE you to read them, but lets just say that if you don't read them then you're future career would possibly involve touching waste matter with your bare hands. Now, I don't particularly care for classical books, so I can't really generalise this for ALL books over the Victorian period, but let's just compare the lovely novels gifted to us for our preliminary and HSC examinations.

North and South:
  • Main male character: Mr. Thornton. He is a generally unemotional person. Exceedingly rich, until his demise at the end of the book, and generally treats everyone else like a person would towards leeches that were suddenly discovered on one's own backside. He is shown to have snobbish tendencies, is handsome and constantly reassures his mother that he could never fall in love with a middle class girl.
  • Main female character: Margaret Hale. She is a strong woman. One which defies the societal expectations for her gender, and is admired by many for her incredible strength and courage in a highly patriarchal world. She is initially repulsed by Mr. Thornton's violence towards one of his employees.
  • Main female character's mother: Mrs. Hale. She is a relatively strong woman. Complains a lot. Exaggerates a lot. And then dies. Not much to say here..
  • Main female character's father: Mr. Hale. Weak in character. Unable to stand up to others, tries to avoid confrontation and tends to just lay back and do whatever comes to mind. Doesn't  really up hold the values of this era as he is not a dominating person.
Pride and Prejudice:
  • Main male character: Mr. Darcy (here girls swoon and faint). He is described to be rich and handsome, but his character leaves much to be desired. In his first arrival he looks down upon everyone save for Mr. Bingley's sisters and refuses to dance. Emotionally traumatised - has a cool sob story about his dad and some soldier guy. Constantly reassures himself that he would never fall for a middle class girl.
  • Main female character: Elizabeth. Smart, funny, blah blah blah. Basically Margaret Hale in terms of defying social expectations. Hates Mr. Darcy's guts at the beginning of the book. Is admired for her compassion. Boring.
  • Main female character's mother: Oh who gives a crap what this batty old person's name is. Over-exaggerates. 'Oh Mr. Bennett how you vex my nerves' or something along those lines. Most annoying character in the history of novels. Nevertheless, is a strong woman, and dominates her husband.
  • Main female character's father: I forget. This guy is a cool dude. He is pretty much the one character who I like. Not many things to draw between him and Mr. Hale, apart from their laidbackness and his willing to be dominated by his wife.
No similarities at all. In both books the main female and male characters meet. Decide they hate each other. Fall in love. Skip off together into sunset with smiles so big they'd make hemorrhoids go away and never want to come back.

Seriously. Didn't the people of this era get bored? Were Jane Austen and Elizabeth Gaskell really so bored that they couldn't think of any other plot? Did the board of studies just enjoy reading a book twice, but with different word usage?

It's just plain confusing. Personally, I loathe English with a great passion. Oh well. Now to read letters to alice.

Bloody. Hell.

This is bollocks.

Cool kids

Apparently do blog memes....who the fuck even makes these? O_O Anyways lets see what happens

Angry Red

1. Are you currently mad at someone?
Yes. Imad. Youmad?

2. Which of your family members has the worst temper?
See, this questions can be answered in two ways. One option would be to say myself, being that I am a part of the family, however this question is directed towards me, and specifically asks for MY 'family members', meaning someone other then myself in my family. Tut tut question maker, second question in and already an error.

3. Have you ever thrown something at anyone?
I once threw a brick at someone (who was facing me and knew i was going to throw it). It didn't go very far at all.

4. Is anyone mad at you?
Seriously. Why would you ask me. I have no idea. Go ask every other person I know.

5. Are you usually mad?
I don't think anyone can be mad for >50% of their conscious life. Yet another stupid question...

6. When you're mad do you prefer to stare angrily or yell?
I prefer to tap dance and sing.

Exciting Orange

1. Has anyone ever thrown a surprise party for you?
No. But off topic, the title of this 'exciting orange' is misleading. It has been scientifically proven that orange is most associated with aggressiveness or hostile behaviour. If anything, it should be 'Angry Orange', and 'Exciting Red'

2. What event is coming up that you're most excited about?
The school gym. Can't wait.

3. If you won a million dollars, what would be your first thought?
...something along the lines of 'HOLY FUCK ME I JUST WON ONE MILLION DOLLARS'?? wouldn't everyone?

4. If you could have anything right now what would it be?
A Windows Zune. Love those things.

Yellow Belly Self

1. Name: 
If you seriously don't know my name and you're on my blog then you're a creep. Congratulations.

2. Birthday: 
May the force be with you.

3. What's your main goal in life? 
To be born. See with that as my main goal, I can constantly feel validated and accomplished :D

4. Do you want to have children? 
I never understand the concept of men not wanting kids in movies and tv shows. Of course I want children. I could make him/her become the greatest human being in the world. How cool would that be?

5. When do you want to die? 
Really? You're going to ask me this when I'm only 16? Really?

Opinionated Green

1. Are you against gay marriage?
No. But I did have a good laugh over South Park's suggestion that gay marriage should be renamed to 'Butt Buddies'

2. Lower the drinking age?
Nope. It's too low as it is.

3. Capital Punishment?
In most cases, probably not. But some crimes you just kind of stand there and go what kind of fuck are you that you could go and do that?

4. Abortion?
Pro-choice. If you were too stupid to slip on a love glove whilst copulating, you're definitely too stupid to go ahead and raise kids. If your kid has some sort of defect, then possibly that child would have an incredibly hard and tortured life. If the kid was a result of rape, definitely abort it. 

Lovely Blue

1. Do you love someone?
What is love? Baby don't hurt me. Don't hurt me, no more.

2. Do you believe in love at first sight?
Nope. I believe in a guy thinking with his dick at first sight, or some chick thinking that the dude is ripped and is pretty hot at first sight though.

3. Do you believe in love?
Yes. I do believe that Kevin Love will lead the Minnesota Timberwolves to glory some day. The guy will one day be a huge super star. 3rd season only and already he's setting records in double doubles, and constantly improving on his game.

Purple Query

Q: How glasses of water did you have today?
A: You forgot to add 'many'. Seriously. That question doesn't even make any sense now. 

Q: What color are your socks?
A: Who only has one sock colour? 

Q: Name one thing that you do everyday?
A: WANK. That is, Win At NBA 2k12 (the k is from the 2k12)

Q: How much cash do you have on you right now?
A: I have 1 U.S. Penny in my wallet currently.

Q: Are you for or against Hillary?
A: Hillary Duff...hmm...definitely for. Even though she isn't as famous nowadays as she used to be, she's still doing the right things and staying out of negative media.

Q: Look to your left. What's there?
A: A bag. Now look away. Now look to your left again. What do you see? You're on an all expense paid cruise sailing to the bahamas. 

Q: What's the last piece of clothing you borrowed?
A: I don't borrow clothing.

Q: What website(s) do you visit the most?
A: http://bicbostik.blogspot.com. The 400 views or so that I have? Yeah. 390 of them are from me. The other 10 or so are from the random spammers in my cbox.

Q: Do you have plants in your room?
A: Nope. 

Q: Does anything hurt on your body right now?
A: My spinal chord. I just severed it in an attempt to become more flexible. I now consider myself a contortionist. 

Q: Do you own a picture phone?
A: As in...a camera phone? Or a phone that can display pictures? Bad question...try again.

1. Person you saw: 
Mum

Torches by Foster the People.

5. Person you talked on the phone with: 
Jubilees are delicious??

I'm going to have a super hot 





curry dish.

8. What are you going to eat?
OH IM A GENIUS. I PREDICTED THIS QUESTION. CURRY DISH :)

2 weeks left :)

School is almost finished. This is a good thing. Well, not really..being that it's now year 12, im probably going to end up being guilted by my parents to study hard during the holidays to catch up >_> In addition to that is I always hate the summer holidays. They are WAY too long. I mean, the normal 2 week holidays are pretty fun - you get to sleep in, laze around, do nothing for a bit - all in good fun. With a six week holiday you kind of run out of things to do after about 2 -3 weeks...and then you just sit there and stone. Then eventually (well from an aye-shun point of view) you have to go and do work...which is basically school - but with a harder taskmaster (parents) and longer hours.

Perhaps its just because I have a boring life, but for the last few weeks the most entertaining thing I can do is pretty much go to back to school sales and buy my shit for school. THATS HOW BORING LIFE GETS. Now, this time could be taken up by basketball...but the local courts are closed during the holidays. Closed. In. Holidays. WHAT? HOW? WHY? But yes I do dread the summer holidays. I might be cheering for them normally, but thats really only for the first few weeks when I can do nothing and not care at all.

Oh well, at least sleeping in is fun :)
