The One About Being Bulletproof

What it do?

As I said after getting my marks for Semester One, VICTORY!

• Perception and Cognition - 70, Credit
• Holocaust and Genocide - 72, Credit
• Assessment and Personality Psychology - 74, Credit
• The Medieval World - 77, Distinction

Term WAM - 73.250

Overall WAM - 76.875

I have once again succesfully bludged my way through a Semester of Uni. GREAT SUCCESS! I mean, I know I didn't axe the Semester completely, but I got more than what I needed, after minimal effort. I guess I'm still bulletproof.

Although, I guess I DID do a fair bit of work this Sem. I barely missed classes up until the last couple of weeks, and I did do some decent work for my essays and such. Maybe it's 'cause this Semester went by really fast, or maybe it was 'cause I didn't have as much work to do, but it feels like it came and went without much of a fuss.

Anyways, over and out.

The One with My Christmas Musings

What it do?

Oh, so this is what it feels like to actually be awake before noon. It's...oddly unsettling. But it's a good thing; it's like adding an extra 5 hours or so to your day.

Anywho! It was a couple of weeks ago when it hit me: for the first time since 2004, I'm actually spending Christmas in Sydney. It's a weird feeling; usually by late November, I'm packing my stuff and organising my trip. And this is usually prime Mich-Mart bumming time! ROFL!

But yes, I think I'm due to spend some quality holiday time with the parents. It's been too long. Plus, summer '04-'05 was a lot of fun, for a number of different reasons, so I'm looking forward to the good times that are sure to come.

In any case, here's a whole list of the things I'm gonna be missing this Christmas:

• MICHELLE! HAHAHAHA. I spend more Christmas holidays with your family than I do with mine. ROFL! [Don't worry, we'll make up for it sometime soon! Shanghai, in the near future?]
• Waking up and trying to avoid Maco, 'cause he's usually still asleep. ROFL.
• Speaking of waking up, having the maids wake me up every morning 'cause they need to make the bed, which they can't do with me sprawled all over it.
• Oh, and the maids bugging me to eat breakfast! "Mahrk! GESENG NA MAHRK! Kaen ka na brekpas sa baba! Nandun na si Gang!" Which I knew was a lie, 'cause Michelle NEVER woke up earlier than I did. HAHA!
• Hotdogs and tapa for breakfast! OH! I'd like a serving of oil with a side of unhealthiness, thanks!
• Having nothing to do, and Tita Cel taking me for random shopping sprees.
• Daily basketball games. Three different channels. Awesome.
• Tagging along to pick up Mich from school. Despite the sweltering heat and unGodly traffic surrounding your school. ROFL!
• My beloved plane ride! I don't know, I've come to love the eight-hour trip. Call me weird.
• Getting picked up at the airport! I knew I'd hit the Phils as soon as I felt the overwhelming humidity. Baggage claim aside, I like the feeling of the airport, especially the dragging of my stuff to the car. ROFL!
• Mich and I spending inordinate amounts of money...on lunch. So, two steaks, tacos and giant sundaes for merienda then?
• Malling. What better way to waste a day? Okay, probably a million things better than malling, but still.
• Christmas Day with my Dad's side. Always fun.
• Bumming with my older cousins. Mostly because we get up to fun stuff. Like getting harassed by gay performers on stage. ROFL!
• Misa de Gallo! Waking up at 5AM (when we could, anyway, ROFL) and going with Mich to daily mass. Then going back to sleep until noon.

ROFL! I think that's enough.

In other news, party's on! Gonna go to the costume shop today and pick up a few things for Saturday, then I'll probably get the liquor sorted out either tomorrow or Saturday. Also, I'm getting a haircut tomorrow, which for a brief moment was supposed to contribute to one of my proposed costume ideas (Martin Mathers. ) But then I realised I didn't wanna go through with the bleaching and everything. So, the Eminem plan went out the window.

It's 8AM. As I said before, weird. Weird but good. Anyways, over and out!

The One About the Upcoming Summer Freedom

What it do?

So, I'm sitting at home, trying to figure out what game to play next, letting Leslie Feist match my chilled out mood. I have nothing to do for the next four months.

Yup, it's summer alright.

Actually, it's not as breezy as it sounds. I DO have video games to play. And parties to plan. And beach outings to organise. But since Second Year's dead and buried (hopefully, fingers crossed I get GUN marks), Uni's officially off the radar for the next third of a year. Awesome.

Things I am most looking forward to:

1. Haircut. Still undecided though. It's either this (Pelle Almqvist has awesome hair) or this (trimming, yo) or, most likely, this (affectionately referred to as my summer special).
2. My Halloween Party One Month After Halloween ESH FOR THE ESH GOD.
3. Finishing Resistance/FFXII/FFIII/Pokemon Diamond.
4. Getting to play NBA 2K8. All day, everyday, any damn day.
5. Beach!
6. NBA Games. Four days a week.
7. Repairing my schleeping patterns. It would be nice to be able to wake up at 7AM again, 'cause usually by then I'm just about ready to klonk out.
8. My results! Since my exams weren't as bad as I expected (although they never are, anyway), I'm hoping I maintained my Distinction WAM. Fingers crossed, lucky rabbit's foot in pocket, horseshoe necklace around neck (Fuck, I'm self-referential tonight). Don't let me down, History!

Anyways, over and out.

The One with the Last True Burning Letter

Once upon a time, there was this guy. He was trying to get over this girl he used to like, and, seeking solace, he turned to this other girl for friendship. Upon getting to know this other girl, he realised that she was...see, he had to stop typing just to figure out how to describe her. It's that hard. Point is, he fell in love.

Things were going great. They were close. They got along so well that it seemed as if nothing could ever get in the way. Until one day, the girl's parents found out about what was going on. From that point on, things got rocky.

The girl was in a hard place, stuck between this guy and her parents. Eventually, things got so messed up that they drifted apart. They broke up right before their formals, and didn't talk much before he went overseas for Christmas that year.

The guy thought the girl hated him, 'cause it seemed like everytime he tried to talk to her, she didn't really want him around. So, when he went away, he left with the intention of putting it all behind him. That's when he met this other girl. Since he thought the girl he loved didn't love him anymore, he decided to let go, and try to start fresh with this new girl. New girl over old girl. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

The old girl still loved him. She was supposed to tell him, they were supposed to start again, and do it properly this time around. The guy thought she still hated him. The guy remained distant. The guy made his choice.

It was the only regret the guy would ever have in his life.

Things didn't work out with the new girl. Things with the old girl weren't much better; they were cordial, but nowhere near as close as they used to be.

The guy realised his mistake. The girl didn't hate him; she just didn't want to upset her parents. Looking back, that decision showed what kind of person the girl really was. It was what made the guy fall in love with her in the first place.

They're both happy now. But they're not together. The guy still does things for her. At the drop of a dime, he'll still stop whatever he's doing if it meant spending time with her. That's just how he is. That's just how he is when it comes to her.

The guy wants it all back. He also knows that his chances of getting it all back are between slim and none. The girl has shown no signs of wanting it back. She's probably never even given it a second thought. That's just how it is.

The guy's the happiest he's been in a while. Still, that doesn't mean that he can't get any happier. Unless something actually happens though, it's all just wishful thinking.

The guy knows the girl will never get to read this. He also knows that it's probably better that she never does.

The guy needs a change of clothes. It's probably time to move on.

The One About Being Glued

We were together again. We were walking around Westpoint, hand in hand, just the way it used to be. It was awesome. It felt good, like we were back in the good old days. We were close again.

Oh, it was only a dream. ROFL! Ouch.

Oh well. Best dream ever!

P.S. This is only open to Mich, Kate and Maria. Guys, three guesses as to who I'm talking about!

The One with the Complete and Utter Dedication to Studying

What it do?

Oh, not enough sarcasm. My last week of Uni was pretty fucked to the days. Out of that list of assessments I drew up, I still had three due for Week 14. I was actually on pace to finish them fairly early; four of 'em were dunzo by Thursday, Week 13.

Wait, what's this? Parties on Friday and Saturday? Laziness on most of Sunday? Wow. Ease up on the industriousness! Might tire myself out or something, hey.

Anywho, my last week got destroyed. I got my Cognition assessment done late Sunday/early Monday, but then I skipped all of Monday to work on my Personality Essay.

Which was harder than I thought. And 2000 words long. And required a shitload of research and referencing.

So, because we needed a celebrity, I ended up doing it on Michael Jordan. OOTS! Resourcefulness! Lucky I had all this stuff on him already, thanks to my years of being a basketball nut. I only did about 800+ on Monday. I could've done more, but hard work is for suckas!

I skipped all of Wednesday as well. Lazy! I was supposed to go to the Sydney Jewish Museum for my Holocaust and Genocide class, but since I needed to do some work, and I'd already met with one of the Holocaust survivors when I was learning about it in Year 12, I felt like I could skip it and not really miss anything. So I spent Wednesday bullshitting my way through my Tutorial Presentation Essay. Wow, 1500 words of too much putting in effort!

Thursday was gay. I had no idea that my History tutorial was cancelled, so I woke up early for nothing. I was gonna hang out with Kish and stuff during my break, but since I still had to finish my other essay, I just decided to skip my last two hours of lectures and go home, effectively killing my break. Going home early didn't really help much anyways; I ended up hanging out with the boys until about 7-8PM or so. Efficiency, what up!

So my plan was to finish my essay at around 3AM, sleep for about four hours, rock up to my 9:30AM tute, hand in my assignment and go back home to catch up on sleep. Oh no, interference from laziness! Actual result of plan: finished working on my essay around 4:30ishAM, ended up sleeping for about FIVE hours, woke up at 9AM (too much making it to class). So I just went back to sleep then woke up again a couple of hours later. Resigned to my fate, I just went in to Uni to hand in my assignment, then hung out at the city with the guys. Worked out pretty well; ended up with NBA 2K8 (THREE WEEKS EARLY, BABY!) and a bunch of magazines and DVDs. Spending, what up!

Okay, so for the whole week, I was only in Uni for a grand total of...TWO HOURS. No lectures attended whatsoever. WOW. DEDICATION x50!

FUCK YO COUCH, I write a lot when I get going. Lakers VS Suns in an hour! Anyways, over and out.

The One with the Good Timing

What it do?

Oh, what's that, Semester Two? All fourteen weeks of your shit have already come and gone? Yeah, that's what I thought.

I'm actually lucky as a motherfucker with my exam schedule. I've got one on the 19th, then another one the day after, which means I've got two weeks to study for 'em. After that, I'm officially dunzo with Second Year. ESH. I know I was bitching about my exams before 'cause I wanted to finish early, but having two weeks off is good enough to make up for it.

Annewhoose, the good timing. Summer's here, and it couldn't have come at a better time: I've got a shitload of games to get through. ROFL, nerd entry! But yes, not enough games to finish. Sitting on my ass and playing video games all day long should make for a good summer.

Actually, the timing might not be so good, now that I think about it. Pokémon Diamond + skate. + Resistance + FFXII + FFIII = ROFL at my exam study! Not to mention the NBA season starting up again. Ahh, fuck it. I'll figure a way to balance it all out.

Other important things to organise for the holidays:

• That QLD road trip with the boys. Fucking A that should be fun as hell, if we get it all sorted out. Alls we know is that we're road tripping it up to QLD, then we're probably gonna scope out some hotel to crash in. Wow, preparedness x10!
• My party. It's a brilliant concept: a Halloween party...a month after Halloween. I call it my "Halloween Party A Month After Halloween." I had no choice though; everyone's still got exams and uni and shit, so I can't exactly plan a party for now. As such, end-of-November Halloween party it is. Now to ask my Dad for his help...and permission. ESH!
• A haircut. My hair looks PANGS! PANGS BRA! I need to cut it so it looks GUAPS and POGS BRA!

Lakers game's on in about an hour or so. I'm gonna post another entry, then try and play SOMETHING, then probably chill and watch the game. And then go to a random party later tonight. Weekends, what up! Anyways, over and out.

Souljah Boy cannot rap. Stop making up f*cked up dances and learn to f*cking rap properly. Think of some good lyrics or something.

Have you ever Superman'd a hoe?

Me neither.

DeAndre Cortez Way rose to infamy in the summer of 2007 off the strength of his song "Crank That (Soulja Boy)," a self-produced song with steel drums and finger snaps that was as catchy as it was inane. Young Jeezy has his "YEAHHHHHHH" and Paul Wall has his "already" but the newest catchphrase in rap is Soulja Boy's "YOUUUUUUUUUUUU" exhorted repeatedly throughout the chorus of this hit. The song has sparked a surprising amount of debate, with some people flipping sides by day as to whether "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" is so stupid it's brilliant or so retarded it's dragging all of hip-hop down into the gutter.

"I'm bouncin on my toes, watch me supersoak dat {hoe}
I'ma pass it to Arab then he gon' crank it up fo' sho'
Haters wanna be me, Soulja Boy, I'm the man
They be lookin at my neck, sayin it's the rubberbannnnnd
mannnnn (mannnn) watch me do it (watch me do it)
Dannnnce (dannnnce) let's get to it (let's get to it)
Nope, you can't do it like me {hoe} so don't do it like me
Folk, I see you tryna do it like me, man that dance was ugly"

This writer is leaning towards the latter. "SouljaBoyTellEm.com" is 14 tracks of raps so vapid even Soulja Boy has to admit how worthless they are. "Sidekick" is a perfect example:

"It's your folk Soulja Boy and you already know
I got stacks on deck when I walk through the do'
Man I can't believe that I'm rappin 'bout a phone
But what you won't believe is I wrote this song"

Trust me Soulja Boy, I believe you wrote that song (now Superman that hoe). Yes YOUUUUUUUUU wrote that song about nothing. You also wrote "Snap & Roll," a song about... snapping and rolling on the dance floor. Impressive. YOUUUUUUUU also wrote "Donk," a song about... girls who have a big butt. Never heard one of those in rap music before. You even wrote a song called "Yahhh" about how you should yell "YAHHH" when people get in your face.

Soulja Boy's self-produced track on "Crank That" is the ideal example of a one-hit wonder. Soulja Boy tries to stretch his simple repetitive beat production style across an entire album and it fails miserably. In short his beats and melodies are as monotonous as his songs are vapid. The only hoe that got Superman'd on "SouljaBoyTellEm.com" is anybody who spent $14.99 on this album.

That pretty much covers what I wanted to say. It's not hating if the rapper sucks. I mean, I can tolerate mindless rappin' every now and then, in SMALL doses. But Souljah Boy is just fucked. He makes Mike Jones look like fucking Rakim.

Actually, he IS good for something. When I need a really good laugh, I look for his song somewhere (like I'd download that shit myself, that'd just be dog to my laptop) and just crack the fuck up. Ahh, Souljah Boy. Thanks for the lyricism!

In better hip-hop news, Talib + Common + Kanye + T.I. + Gang Starr = a lot of good hip-hop flooding my earwaves over the past week, in between essays. Real hip-hop's not dead, you just can't see it behind the pop bullshit that people are putting out nowadays.

The One on My Day Off

What it do? I'm not actually supposed to be at home, but I couldn't be fucked going to Uni today. The essay's mostly dunzo now, but I ended up sleeping at 6AM in the process of doing it. So yeah, today's actually a self-appointed day off. I do shit MY way, SON!

Annewhoose, remember this? Well, here comes the pain! Semester Two styles, dawg!

• HIST2201 Research Essay, Final Copy (30%) - Monday, October 22
• HIST2074 Tutorial Presentation - Thursday, October 25
• PSYC2101 Tutorial Presentation (5%) - Friday, October 26
• PSYC2071 Cognition Assessment 2 (10%) - Tuesday, October 30
• HIST2074 Reflective Essay (20%) - Friday, November 2
• HIST2074 Tutorial Presentation Essay (20%) - Friday, November 2
• PSYC2101 Personality Assessment (15%) - Friday, November 2

Also worth mentioning that I just finished writing a 2900+ word essay worth 50% for my Holocaust and Genocide class. Then, I spent 12 hours yesterday on the draft for that HIST2201 research essay. It's progressing, 1300+ words out of 2000, and I still have my final argument and the conclusion to get to. Not a good time to be lazy! But hey, won't stop. Can't stop. Eh eh, eh eh!

For some reason, I don't actually feel so worried about it. Then again, I haven't been worried about ANYTHING so far this Semester. Not that I've been killing everything, I've just been really relaxed. Guess being in a good place with your life does that to you.

I like how I have three things due on November 2. That day should be a fucking holiday or something. "The remembrance day for FUCK YO COUCH!" or something.

In other news, angry rant! Check thiiiiis. Can I talk my shit again?

I still love you, hip-hop. The real you, that good, intelligent shit. Not your ugly, dance-concocting, lyricism-deprived alter ego.

Anyways, over and out!

The One with the Cop Out Entry

What it do? I haven't been here in an age or three, despite the copius amounts of procrastination during this semester.

In fact, as I write this, I'm putting aside my Medieval History essay, the draft of which is due by noon tomorrow. I'm planning on getting 1500 words done for the draft, and so far I'm on...480. ESH ESH ESH! LOL. But yes, all good; I'm staying up until 6AM, and I'm skipping Uni tomorrow. Organisation, what up!

Oh, and did I mention that I only started doing work at around...oh, 6PM? Hooray! Hooray for not being bothered to work! Fuck it, it's just the draft anyways. Plus, I'm still kinda essay-weary thanks to that monster 2900+ word Holocaust and Genocide essay I finished off EARLY (as in, 5AM early) Friday morning. ZOMG i do nt lyzk writtin esses anymore im tired lol :(

Anywhiles! Here's a cop out entry for my neglected blog, in the form of a MySpace survey.

The One with the Retrovision

What it do?

So, I'm supposed to be taking notes for Psych right now seeing as I napped through the lecture this AM, but then I found this site. I remembered a bulletin posted on MySpace a whiles back talking about what it was like growing up in the 90s, and it was awesome to look back at all the things I used to find COOL back in the day.

• Rocket Power
• Rocko's Modern Life

The One with the Bulletin I Was Born to Do

What it do?

Ever since I was a little kid (I think it started when I was about eleven or twelve), I've always been a tad uberdramatic. Chalk it up to an excessive amount of time spent watching TV shows and movies, but I've always had a flair for blowing things out of proportion and making everything seem like a big deal, the way they seem during big moments in a show or movie.

The biggest thing for me's always been the soundtrack to the show/movie; I love it when certain songs not only suit the scene they're played in, but they actually also enhance the effect of whatever's happening. I've always pictured big moments in my life happening with certain songs playing in the background.

As such, I finally found the bulletin I was born to do. Here's hoping my seven or eight years of thinking about this very topic serves me well.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Opening Credits: Zero 7 - Futures / Ennio Morricone - The Ecstasy of Gold

• Both are good ways to set the early scene. They just both carry that "something big's going down" sense.

Waking Up Scene: A Tribe Called Quest - Can I Kick It?

• Nice. Chilled. A little bit lazy. The desire to spend more time relaxing. All things that remind me of getting out of bed.

Car Driving Scene: Guns N' Roses - You Could Be Mine

• Chose this 'cause it seems to fit my driving style like a glove: reckless as fuck. Plus, puts me in the mood to drive faster.

High School Flashback Scene: The Ataris - In This Diary

• Always reminds me of the Clean Rodriguez days, when no one gave a shit and we'd be rolling down the stairs and doing crazy random shit all afternoon long.

Nostalgic Scene: Johnny Cash - Hurt

• Perfect for a pensive mood.

Bitter, Angry Scene: Nirvana - You Know You're Right

• The sarcasm at the end of the verses works awesomely, especially since Kurt screams a long-winded "PAIN!" right afterwards.

Break-up Scene: The Used - Blue and Yellow

• Picture this: you just broke up with a girl you really love. You start to walk away, but then you start listening to "your song" on your iPod. As soon as it gets to the good part, you start running back to her, hug her from behind, and as she cries, you tell her you love her.

Regret Scene: Death Cab for Cutie - Title and Registration

• My favourite song. "There's no blame, for how our love did slowly fade. And now that it's gone, it's like it wasn't there at all. And here I rest, where disappointment and regret collide."

Nightclub/Bar Scene: Fat Joe feat. Lil' Wayne - Make it Rain / T.I. - What You Know / Jim Jones - We Fly High

• Any of these songs would be mad for a club scene. Throwing money around and making it rain in a club? Pointing to your crew and asking them what they know about that? "BALLING?" Hells yeah.

Fight/Action Scene: Eminem - 'Till I Collapse

• Gets me so AMPED! Perfect hype-up song.

Lawn Mowing Scene: Modest Mouse - The World at Large

• I pictured a lawn mowing scene as being chilled and relaxed, with nothing much happening, so I chose this song.

Sad, breakdown scene: Imogen Heap - Hide and Seek

• I was about to choose something else seeing as this song was already used perfectly on The O.C., but I couldn't resist. I loved the slowdown effect. Beauty in the breakdown, ja?

Death Scene: Death Cab for Cutie - Your Bruise / Death Cab for Cutie - Bend to Squares

• I originally had Transatlanticism here, but I remembered how ethereal Something About Airplanes was, and decided to go with these two.

Funeral Scene: Staind - So Far Away

• I mean this in the least morbidly suicidal-sounding way possible, but I've always wondered about which song would be perfect for my funeral. Like, I want something that tugs right on the heart strings, but isn't too cheesy and doesn't have any bitter/spiteful undertones (wow, ironic). My choice usually changes like every month or so, but recently I've stuck with this song. It's melodic enough to get people going, and the lyrics are pretty positive-sounding as well.

Mellow/Pot-smoking Scene: Wu-Tang Clan - C.R.E.A.M. / A Tribe Called Quest - Vibes and Stuff / Shade Sheist - Where I Wanna Be

• Now we're talking. I would've put Mary Jane by Rick James, but Friday already used that in Smokey's weed scene. But hey, these songs capture the "chilled out, nothing doing" vibe that I'd want in my weed scene.

Dreaming About Someone Scene: Something Corporate - She Paints Me Blue

• Lyrics complement the dreaming of someone theme. COP OUT RESPONSE, WHAT UP?!

Sex Scene: A Tribe Called Quest - Electric Relaxation

• I wouldn't want a sex scene to be uberdramatic, actually. So I went with something FLY.

Contemplation Scene: Jay-Z - Regrets

• A good contemplation song, I reckon. It's got the whole "yeah, you done fucked up, but you've gotta let that shit go and just move on" vibe going for it.

Chase Scene: TRUSTcompany - Downfall

• A onehundredandninetyone second dose of adrenaline.

Happy Love Scene: Imogen Heap - Goodnight and Go / Bloc Party - This Modern Love / The Postal Service - Such Great Heights

• Love doesn't get much happier than with Imogen playing in the background. This Modern Love's pretty cheerful as well, so that gets a mention. Such Great Heights gets it 'cause Ben specifically described it as a fresh approach to a love song: instead of the sappy, downer stuff he'd been writing, it was rejuvenating to write a HAPPY love song for once.

Happy Friend Scene: Modest Mouse - Float On

• Float On has that "everything's gonna be alright" vibe for me, so it'd be good for a happy friend scene. We can all just chill, 'cause it always turns out alright in the end.

Closing Credits: The Beatles - Come Together

• Yup, I'm egotistical enough to ask everyone to gather round and take a moment to come together for me after it all ends.

The One with the VICTORY!

What it do? To Johnny Drama and Viking Quest, thanks for the title.

In the immortal words of Dr. Perry Cox, "I. AM. BULLETPROOF!"

• Culture, Identity and Education - 66, Credit
• Social & Developmental Psychology - 69, Credit
• Life Science Advanced Seminar 2 - 81, Distinction
• Learning & Physiological Psychology - 82, Distinction
• Research Methods 2 - 83, Distinction

Term WAM - 76.875

Overall WAM - 78.000

After possibly the laziest semester ever, I feel so relieved about my results. Granted, I could've done a little bit better to get a couple of HDs, but hey, I'm not complaining about these. These are AWESOME for me, seeing as I only needed a Credit average.

I'm just happy that after a tremendous amount of sleeping in lectures, skipping classes, two day pre-exam cramming sessions, in-class NBA score-checking, in-class texting, being LATE to my lectures and other assorted forms of procrastination (and possibly, somewhere along the way, being SLIGHTLY nervous), I still somehow managed to pull these out from somewhere.

Funny: RM2 was the course I worried the most about, 'cause to me, the topics and ideas were just hard to get my head around. So naturally, it was my highest mark. Along the same lines, I heard Social & Developmental Psych was supposed to be the easiest course for this Semester. So again, naturally, it had the worst mark out of my core courses. OH! Sense-making express! Not that I went BAD in it; just struck me as funny that I did better in the other courses. Then again, RM2 was mostly maths, and seeing as I represent Math League, when I add, shorty subtract.

Anyways, over and out.

The One with the Bumps, the Bruises, the Blisters and the BALLING!

What it do?

Wow, I actually have a sufficient level of energon cells for posting an entry. I've gotten into this rhythm where if something happens, the first thing I do is think of blogging, and blogging-related phenomena (titles, jokes, etc.), but I'm so tired tonight, that I might just keep things short.

Annewhoose, I needed something to snap me out of the semi-funk I've been in lately, so today I decided to do something that didn't involve self-pity and negative self-attributions. Apparently, physical activity has an ameliorating effect on the body's stress levels. (Ahh, Psychology.) As such, basketball it was for today then.

Before playing ball, Mike and I stopped by at the RTA to pick up a bunch of Green P-plates. He told me to just run in and grab them quickly, 'cause he was double-parked. So naturally...I took a ticket and waited for ages. Le sMART. He walked in a while later and told me you're only supposed to wait if you don't have your Ps yet.

RU TRIPPIN?

KTHXBAI

Anywho, the playing of the ball itself. It was fun, a good two to three hours worth. BUT! It just made it much more PAINFULLY obvious that I am ridonculously unfit. Puffed the fuck out after like drills and shootarounds. To the point where we lost to two KIDS whose lives we SO could've destroyed. We lost. Mike, a rep player. And me, skills-of-a-backyard-player-but-egotistic-like-a-rep-player. Granted, we both played pretty crappily, but still. KTHXBAI.

On to the fun part. My body's aching right now, probably as a byproduct of the whole unfitness extravaganza. Let's see, from three hours of playing, I: got cramps in both legs, got hit in the nose, got POPPED in the mouth, had a slightly bad knee clash, have blisters on my feet, have a random bruise on my arm aaaaaand got corked in the thigh (too much me being able to bend at the knees without my thighs hurting).

And now, to do all of it again for most of the next two weeks.

Aaaaand, I'm looking forward to it. As much as it hurts, it's the good kind of hurt. It's just good to be playing ball, in general. Anyways, over and out.

The One with the Gentle Hikings

What it do?

Apparently, "rambling" can be defined as a "gentle hiking." Word?

O RLY?

YA RLY

SRSLY? NO WAIS!

R U TRIPPIN?

KTHXBAI

But I digress. For the first time in a while, I'm in a rambling mood, simply as a means of putting down some of the more random things swirling about in my psyche. I looked back at the last couple of times that I've done this kind of entry (wow, all the way from Year 12), and I doubt I'll have as much to write about this time around. I just really need to put my mind to somewhat-constructive use at the moment. Annewhoose, on with it.

• For the last couple of hours or so, I've just been reading through my old blogs, both on Multiply and MSN. I don't know what I'd do if I lost my MSN blog; it's had my life in snippet form for most of the last two-and-a-bit years. I have a slight tendency to hoard things even when I don't need them anymore; I don't know if my old entries count, but taking a look back at what was going on back then is always...something. (I was about to write "fun" here, but I realised that a lot of the time I just do it for reminiscing's sake.)
  
• Flashback, circa May 29, 2005: "I'm also a completely different person when I'm alone and when I'm interacting with someone else, either through the phone or in person or on the net or whatever. I'm just different. I consider myself normal when I'm with other people. I don't like myself when I'm alone. I just start thinking way too much, and at least if I'm with someone else I can keep my mind off the stuff I usually overanalyse. But when I'm alone, I can't help but start thinking, which gets me confused and pretty mentally shaky. Borderline unbalanced. I hate it."
  
  Still true, two-plus years down the track.
  
• Blogging, for me, has this weird therapeutic effect. It's not the deep, artistic, epic unburdening type of relief, but just a sense of being able to put in concrete terms the usually abstract/irrational/nonsensical stuff that "gently hikes" around my brain.
  
• I'm happy that I've gotten back into a rhythm of blogging fairly constantly. Along with a neverending stream of Friends episodes, it's currently keeping me sane.
  
• Currently on a Death Cab trip. Over three hours, four albums. Ahh, Ben Gibbard.
  
• Flashback part deux, circa February 10, 2007 (funnily enough, the last time I ramble-blogged): "Fuck MySpace. I have a decidedly anti-MySpace stance, 'cause it's just such a waste! Populated by scene kids and such. It annoys me, to no end. Oh well."
  
  Funny what can change in five months, huh?
  
• Speaking of MySpace, I've been so indecisive about my profile song for the last couple of days. One of the reasons I wanted to get a MySpace was just being able to play ATCQ on my page. But since I've had it (a couple of days or so), I've already changed my song around four BILLION times. Okay, maybe about six or seven times, but whatever. I'm currently settled on Title and Registration, but it's a bit of a cop-out 'cause it's my favourite song. I'm betting on me changing back to Shh sometime tomorrow, or possibly You Could Be Mine. I wanted to put Estranged, but I couldn't find the song. Pity.
• I hate MySpace politics.
  
• Results this Wednesday. Let's go, Credit Average! I'm a bit more optimistic about getting Cs for my Psych subjects, seeing as I went pretty well in most of the assessments, and the exams were all a lot easier than I expected. Life Science is looking to be the wild card at the moment; I have NO idea how I went in anything, thanks to the nature of the course. If I fail Life Science and have to do it again next semester, I'm going to cause damage to many an inanimate object.
  
• I love Friends. But you already knew that much.
  
• I'm a lot lazier than I thought I was. I figured a week into my holidays, I would've gotten a BIG move on in my FFXII-ing. But so far it's been limited to about five or six hours worth of playing time, 90% of which I spent doing marks and retracing my steps to figure out where I was up to before I stopped playing last April 'cause of Uni. Also, I thought I'd try and get some exercise, but so far, that's also been a no. *shrugs*
• In the words of Chandler Bing, "Oh yeah, I'm a gym member. I try to go four times a week, but I've missed the last...twelve hundred times."
• Monica: Honey, the Miami Vice Soundtrack? Really?
  Chandler: They were just giving those away at the store...
  [Monica stares]
  Chandler: ...in exchange for money.

The One with the Comparisons with the Ones From That Show

What it do?

Ahh, Friends marathons. Such an easy way to kill a day. Without any hyperbolic overexaggerreaction whatsoever, I think I've seen every single episode about ten BILLION times each, to the point where I (usually) know the episode's jokes inside and out, in chronomalogical orders.

Throughout the three years worth of endless DVD repeats, I started to realise that I had something in common with each of the main six, in one way or another. Some people relate their personalities to one specific TV character, but it's more fun with a whole ensemble. Anywho, on with it.

• Ross: fascination with science/math; love for DINOSAURS (BIG BIG similarity); bad luck with women ("Three divorces! Three divorces!"); inability to flirt ("If it makes you feel any better, I happen to like eight-year-old boys."); somewhat exaggerated rage issues ("You threw my sandwich away? MY sandwich? MY SANDWICH?!"); ALWAYS has to be right; doesn't know when to shut up (Ross' trademark habit); brief drug experimentation period; excessive neuroticism/trust issues; excessive whining
• Rachel: materialism; being spoiled; usually self-absorbed; lack of culinary skills ("She made half an English trifle and half a Shepherd's Pie!"); supposedly the same birthday
• Phoebe: random eccentricities; general airheadedness/childishness; animal rights (although I do love my meat); flakiness
• Joey: naivety; Scarface poster; basketball fanaticism (tenuous, as Joey tends to like all sports equally, and not just basketball); loyalty and devotion to friends ("If I had to, I'd pee on any one of you!"); immaturity ("Playing a little PlayStation, huh? That's wack. PlayStation is wack! Sup with the wack PlayStation, sup?!")
• Monica: obsessive-compulsive disorder (VERY MUCH SO.); obsession with people-pleasing (again, very much so); excessive competitiveness; tendency to sing "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, I've Got Love In My Tummy"; problematic drunk ("Your little Harmonica is HAMMERED!")
• Chandler (ahh, saving the best for last): I relate to Chandler the most out of the whole cast. Being questioned over sexuality (Chandler: "If I were a guy...Did I just say, 'If I were a guy?'"; Mart [from AAAAGES ago]: "I can admit when another guy is hot."/"Mart's a fag lol" *cough*); sarcasm (Chandler: "Could [noun(s)] BE any more [adjective]?"; Mart: "OH! Not enough [insert true remark here]!/Too much [insert false remark here]!"); immaturity ("Pheebs! Play with meeeeee!"); tendency to be the immature one when it comes to relationships; inability to correctly pronounce onomatopoeia ("WHAPAH!"); dorkiness/geekiness around girls; tendency to mock other people, but unable to take punishment when it's dished back; sarcasm as a defense mechanism ("Okay, that's like the least fun game ever.")

Ahh, blogging. Such an easy way to kill a night. Anyways, over and out.

and you could have it all. my empire of dirt.

i will let you down. i will make you hurt.

i wear this crown of thorns upon my liar's chair, full of broken thoughts i cannot repair. beneath the stains of time, the feelings disappear. you are someone else, i am still right here.

The One with the Random Lyrics

"I'm the young city bandit, hold myself down single-handed
For murder raps, I kick my thoughts alone, get remanded
Born alone, die alone, no crew to keep my crown or throne
I'm deep by sound alone, caved inside, a thousand miles from home
I need a new nigga for this black cloud to follow
'Cause while it's over me, it's too dark to see tomorrow..."

-- Nas - The World is Yours

"For now, it's just a big dream,
'Cause I find myself in the place where I'm last seen
My thoughts must be relaxed, be able to maintain
'Cause times is changed and life is strange
The glorious days is gone, and everybody's doin' bad..."

-- Wu-Tang Clan (Ghostface Killah) - Can it Be All So Simple

"Constant war, several threats of enemy conquest
Crooked cops comb my complex building that's in the rumble
Streets are like a jungle, can't let my cipher crumble
Vivid thoughts, devils resort to trick knowledge
They kick garbage, lust for chicks and quick dollars..."

-- Wu-Tang Clan (Inspectah Deck) - A Better Tomorrow

"Quest the people's choice, we thrive it for the spirit
If you can't hear it, then get the wax utensils
Write my rhymes straight up, don't get with no fancy stencils
The rhymes we get is sweet, we stay away from tart
Our perfection is at work, perkin' up the art
If you want to battle, I suggest you check your clock
Your demise is comin' up, and I want your man to watch..."

-- A Tribe Called Quest (Q-Tip) - Verses From The Abstract

"Niggas, take off your coats
Ladies, act like gems
Sit down Indian-style as we recite these hymns
See, lyrically I'm Mario Andretti on the Momo
Ludicrously speedy, or infectious with the slow-mo
Heard me in the 80s, JBs on the promo
On my never-ending quest to get the paper on the caper
But now, let me take it to the Queens side
I'm takin' it to Brooklyn side
All the residential Questers to invade the way
Hold up a second, son, 'cause we almost there..."

-- A Tribe Called Quest (Q-Tip) - Award Tour

"The wackest crews try to dis, it makes me laugh
When my track record's longer than a DC-20 aircraft
So, next time that you think you want somethin' here
Make somethin' deffer, take that garbage to St. Elsewhere..."

-- A Tribe Called Quest (Phife Dawg) - Award Tour

The One with the ACTUAL Buggin' Out

What it do?

This entry is brought to you in part by pizza, Coke, testosterone and a currently elevated mood.

Annewhoose. The guys just left about ten to fifteen ago, after watching the last game of the Origin at mines. Pretty good to hang out with the boys again, just being rowdy and shit while watching football. My knowledge of the game went about as far as "SHORTS LOL," but I still got my kicks out of seeing people get knocked the fuck out. LOL at your sense of awareness!

It was a pretty weird day for me before everyone dropped by; I was feeling a bit iffy for most of the day (actually, since last night even). Not that I was in an angry mood, but I'd classify it as being pretty negative. (AHH EMO LOL! Harden the fuck up!) Then, as soon as everyone was here watching TV and being all guy-like, there was a pretty big shift in my mood. Even after they left, I was still feeling pretty uppity, to the point where my heart was racing, my thoughts were trying to outrace my heart, and my hands were actually shaking. WTF? LOL!

Anyways, hooray for what my EXTENSIVE psychological knowledge (sarcasm just in case it's not enough being obvious) tells me is a possible case of hypomania/cyclothymia, but what my senses tell me is more realistically a case of hypochondria/overreaction. I know self-diagnosis counts for jack, so I'm not trusting my EXTENSIVE psychological knowledge too much on this, but it might be something worth looking into later on. Possibly. *twitch*

In other news, hooray for too much playing FFXII. Oh, the amount of time I have spent playing! I should stop playing because my playing time's going up by too much! PHROAR!

Ahh, good old sarcasm. Anyways, over and out.

ADDENDUM: I wasn't negative for the WHOLE day. Watching this would temporarily snap me out of my mood.

What it do?

Wu-Tang Killa Bees! WE ON A SWARM! Okay, so I've been on a bit of a 36 Chambers spree for the last couple of days. I can't help it, the album's so fucking FIRE. I listened to it at least 2 or 3 times over the course of Wednesday to Friday. I sacrificed sleeping on the train Wednesday morning (even though I only got two hours of sleep) to listen to it. Addiction, mayne.

Annewhoose, what am I doing up at 3:09AM? Why, looking through MySpace bulletins using someone else's password, of course. I don't think I'll ever get my own MySpace, in keeping with my black sheep tendencies, so this is as close as I'll ever get. Anyways, without further ado:

The One with the Electric Relaxation

What it do?

Dunzo. OOTS.

Catch ya later, Semester One. Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.

Surprisingly, the exams were easier than I thought they were going to be. I figured, Second Year, HARD exams. But I guess my two days of nerding/tremendous cramming worked WONDERS. Now, all that's left to do is wait for my results.

That, and ENJOY my three weeks of holidays. Very nice.

List of things on my holiday enjoyment agenda:

• Play FFXII
• Clean my shoes
• Listen to my gazillion new albums (WU-TANG KILLA BEES! WE ON A SWARM!)
• Play ball
• Play FFXII
• Clean my shoes
• Get my Semester One stuff in order
• Catch up on sleep
• Play FFXII

Speaking of sleep, my sleeping patterns are wrecked like a motherfucker. I got two hours of sleep for my exam on Wednesday (thank you, 8:45AM exams all the way at Kensington). I figured I'd be so tired that I would just klonk out Wednesday night and be well-rested for yesterday's exam. End result: three hours of sleep. This is what constantly sleeping at 6AM does to you.

Annewhoose, speaking of relaxation (wow, that's two Quest-related blog titles in a row), I had a good reward scheme going yesterday for post-exam celebration. First, went down to 2010 and had a look around; copped new Feits and a couple of shirts. Good times: new shoes, new shirts, good music (Illmatic at Footage, OOTS!). Then, as soon as I got home, it was back out to chill with people for Juls' birthday. Plan was to watch Transformers, but that went down the crapper when we found out the movie was full.

So we just went straight to Pure Platinum. Celebrations and such. Effective planning!

I'm back out of the house tonight to actually watch Transformers. Here's hoping this time the movie isn't full before we actually get there. Anyways, later days!

The One with the Buggin' Out

What it do? The title had nothing to do with anything, aside from me listening to the song an hour or so ago and not being able to think of any other title.

Anywho, I remembered that long list of assessments I had to finish off the semester with. Since they're all done now, here's an updated look back.

• PSYC2081 Neuroanatomy & Neural Communication Test (5%) - Easy as pie. 5/5 in 5 minutes.
• GENT1513 Essay (50%) - Fairly long, but I just ended up BS-ing my way through all 3000 words. Not too bad considering it's just a Gen Ed subject; it doesn't count towards my WAM and I only need a 50 for it.
• PSYC2081 Critical Review of Literature (20%) - Pretty okay, not as bad as I expected.
• GENT1513 Seminar Presentation (30%) - Presentations are for losers. Let's go, 50%!
• PSYC2061 Essay (20%) - Surprisingly, this wasn't too bad either. Aside from the last part, which I spiced up with good old fashioned nonsense.
• PSYC2001 Assignment 2 (20%) - Seemed easy enough, but PSYC2001's always deceptive, so here's hoping I actually went okay.
• GENT1513 Critical Review of Literature (20%) - Oots! Too much putting effort into this!

Towards the end of semester, Life Science felt left out, and decided to add to the fun. With two assessments due AFTER the semester actually finished.

• LIFE2001 Teammate Evaluation (30%) - For the first time ever, I started an assignment on the night before it was actually due. Seven hours, eight pages, nearly 3000 words. Very nice. It wasn't even that bad; thankfully, it was fairly formulaic and such.
• LIFE 2001 Assessment C (30%) - Life Science is so lame. Some thought exercise about cyborgs or something. Ahh well, I just wrote whatever my teacher wanted to hear. *shrugs*

Hooray, Life Science! Ahh well. Since all nine assessments are officially dunzo, I can actually get cracking on the studying. Hopefully around 3 days per subject should do. Let's go, June 28, 11:30AM! Anyways, later days!

The One with the Magnum Opus

Guns N' Roses - Estranged

When you're talking to yourself
And nobody's home
You can fool yourself
You came in this world alone

So nobody ever told you baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to you baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see

Old at heart, but I'm only 28
And I'm much too young
To let love break my heart
Young at heart, but it's getting much too late
To find ourselves too far apart

I don't know how you're supposed to find me lately
And what more could you ask from me
How could you say that I never needed you
When you took everything
Said you took everything from me

Young at heart, and it gets so hard to wait
When no one I know can seem to help me now
Old at heart, but I mustn't hesitate
If I'm to find my own way out

Still talkin' to myself
And nobody's home

So nobody ever told us baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to us baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see

When I find out all the reasons
Maybe I'll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life
Maybe I'll get it right next time

And now that you've been broken down
Got your head out of the clouds
And back down on the ground
You don't talk so loud
And you don't walk so proud
Anymore, and what for

Well, I jumped into the river
Too many times to make it home
I'm out here on my own, drifting all alone
If it doesn't show, give it time
To read between the lines

'Cause I see the storm getting closer
And the waves, they get so high
Seems everything we've ever known's here
Why must it drift away and die?

I'll never find anyone to replace you
Guess I'll have to make it through, this time
Oh, this time, without you

I knew the storm was getting closer
And all my friends said I was high
But everything we've ever known's here
I never wanted it to die

What it do?

Epic. Still as epic as it was back when I was around 5 or 6 years old. Actually, more epic now that I can actually appreciate the song and the lyrics.
