4:34 pm - The day that ends in Y.
The other day, I read an MLIA about a piece of paper being passed arround the classroom saying "I am an alien that has mutated into this piece of paper and am now having sexual intercourse with your hands. You know you like it because you're smiling." I decided to try this at my school, and somehow it ended up on my teacher's desk. I pointed out the fact that she was smiling, and she was literally on the floor laughing. Therefore she could not give me a detention. I <3 you, Alien. MLIA


I was thinking I'd like to do this, but don't know when I'd have the chance. Maybe at the pub.

Also, today I did a 2000 word article and it only took me till 2pm, hour's lunch included. That was me done for the day.

Urbangarde are hilarious. I like their discrete use of chiptune in some songs.


Edit:

Oh I lol'd.

Today, I went to Target. While I was trying on clothes in the dressing room, someone in another room shouted, "There's no toilet paper in here!" Another voice that I'm guessing belonged to an employee whimpered,"Please, please no. Not this again." MLIA

12:02 pm - RIIIIIIITSU.
Today, at the mall my 6 year-old son wanted his picture taken with Santa. So when it was his turn instead of sitting on his lap my son pulled out his fake wand and yelled, "Avada Kedavra!" Santa clutched his heart and pretended to die. Half the kids started to cry. MLIA.

I lol'd.

Onwards, to lunch.

12:42 pm - *Cuckoo clock noise*
Here's my random thought for the day. Or one of them.

Any english language music I listen to is from a rather narrow selection of genres, if that. But basically, anything I listen to in English these days (that's new to me, as opposed to something I bought ages ago) is listened to mainly by 16 year old girls. I don't do this on purpose, it just happens. Examples include Paramore (right, I know I shouldn't like this, but I understand it's a guilty pleasure of mine, like eating huge blocks of cheese from the package) and We Are The Ocean (who I actually do really like, but I've always liked screamo or whatever portmanteau the kids are sportin' these days).

Anything I listen to in Japanese/Korean/Whatever has a far wider range of genres, I listen to a lot of different stuff, nearly anything if it's good.

It's just weird. Maybe it's like...I stopped listening to English stuff when I was in that mindset and then moved on to other stuff. So it's sort of a...music retardation? Who knows.

Carry on.

12:45 pm - You think I'm beautiful?
Blargh. Shitty day is shit. I'm a bit ill, but I'm at work.

Worst. Feeling. In. The. World.

Oh but hey, I've got home to look forward to and all this time that I'll ha- oh wait...no...no I don't.

I suppose I could play L4D2 all evening...or I coulllld listen to Lolrate Radiolol. Or do both. Or just go to bed.

Anyway, it's lunch and in the brief respite I have from the relentless onslaught of shite I have to wade through that is my working life, I'm eating cottage pie. A simple meal, but it got me thinking. This cottage pie is hot, right? It doesn't seem to cool down. However, its rating on the Inferno Scale (a scale of hotness that I just made up) pales in comparison to that of lasagne. Lasagne is - to me - something that NEVER cools down and every time I eat it, I burn my mouth/tongue/eyes/uterus. It's just THAT hot. FOREVER.

So...Here I was eating cottage pie and thinking about lasagne. Then I was thinking about that movie in which they have to restart the sun...the one that turned into a poor man's Event Horizon. I think it's called Sunshine? I have no idea. Little Mi- no, lol. But anyway, if it is called Sunshine, then I hope the marketing execs that no doubt angsted over every letter and syllabic undertone in that title are hung, drawn and quartered in the town square of a quaint English village.

So, eventually we arrive at the point. They're restarting the Sun with like...a gajillion nukes or some shit. So why don't they use lasagne? I mean, the shit never cools down and YARGH, IT'S HOTTER THAN THE SUN! That would be epic...Launching a whole payload of molten hot lasagne into a dead Sun. FWOOOOSH. It sparks back to life. Although it would probably be hotter than ever and immediately destroy the Solar System. Oh well.

Ummm...Not sure if there was anything else to say. I was actually going to post something deep and meaningful as well, but I'm not in the mood.

Omg, how have I spilled pie on the floor? The fork goes into my mouth from the dish and it all takes place over the table, wtf. It's under my chair! Curse you, ethereal pie, able to transcend flesh (or pie crust or whatever).

9:53 pm - Sometimes we talk over dinner like old friends.
Blargh.

I've had enough of so many things.

One of these days I just might actually do something about it.

I'm starting to think that I'm an inherently lonely person. I've never believed this to be the case, however.

I'm just a bit lost at the moment.

Also, jaded.

I'm just so tired.

Oh man oh man oh man.

I just achieved what might quite possibly be the most awesome display of skill-based gaming in my life. Certainly in recent memory.

My heart is about to explode and I have this amazing sense of satisfaction.

AND I HAVE NO ONE TO SHARE IT WITH.

Damnit Lyndz.

From http://mylifeisaverage.com/index.php:

Today, while ringing up a customer for his take-out, I noticed that the name on his card was "Bruce Wayne". I froze for a moment before whispering, "What are you?" Without missing a beat, he responded, "I'm Batman." MLIA

I work as a waitress at a breakfast restaurant, and today, I brought a credit card receipt back to a table to be signed. Instead of signing it, he drew a picture of a whale swimming on the signature line. Skeptical, I turned the credit card over to look at the signature on the back. A whale swimming. MLIA


I lol'd inside.


Also I didn't realise that the -gry riddle was so popular.

"Think of words ending in "-gry". "Angry" and "hungry" are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is."

6:12 pm - Facepalm. Apply directly to the forehead.
Rubbiiiiish.

Today I was Tired McTired after a particularly fun weekend which largely consisted of eating junk, albeit tasty junk (which I am still finishing).

The weekend was good fun and I had a great time, it's always good to see people. Thanks for making the effort to come visit and we'll have to do it again sometime.

Monday was never going to be great fun, because - well - it's Monday. Weekend is over and a whole week of work starts. Today I also somehow for the first time ever spent the day with my boxers the wrong way round, which led to some slight puzzlement when I tried to use the toilet, but oh well, it's rectified now. Rest of work was shit, but there's only another 35-40 years of it left, so yeah...Also, I ate way too many mints, so today I am hating mints.

Also received yet another notice from the lovely people at customs, charging me for a birthday present of all things - how cruel. The post service and trains, two major features of this country that I would gladly murder everyone associated with. Just get it right people, if every other damn country in the world can do it, so can you. Ah well, it is but a mere pittance. However, it's the principle that annoys me.

And...The cat is here till Wednesday, where it leaves in the morning. I have been informed that it "will make a lot of noise". No change there then.

Apart from having a minor crisis of self-confidence/esteem, the rest is business as usual, I suppose.

Shadows hide you.

6:08 pm - It's too bad she won't live, but then again...Who does?
Just came home feeling pretty pleased with myself after having manually fixed the electric windows on my car by myself, a job which generally requires it going to the garage. I then came inside to find cat litter all over the damn flat.

I. Cannot. Win.

Blargh.

I'm having the worst day EVAR and it's only just started.

Thankfully I only have to make it through today and it's the weekend. I can actually have a reasonable length evening. Possibly with Dr. Daniels.

6:55 pm - This party is over.
So yeah.

I did some mad awesome DDR stuff and when I'd finished, I went to re-stick a poster over my bed that had half fallen down. This involved me standing on the bed. When I'd stuck the poster back, I jumped off the bed with cat-like grace. Sadly, my muscles hadn't recovered from their strenuous exercise and I majorly pulled a muscle in one of my legs.

Hurt like a bitch.

8:50 pm - Updated my journal.
Hm.

In all the years I've had my journal, I don't think I've ever used that status message. It's a quote from Planescape: Torment and I'll always remember it because the main character says it so damn often, but it's not even annoying, which is cool. Sometimes I even think it to myself, randomly. Oh wellz.

Today I was told a strange thing.

My boss tells me this random woman at work (who I've like...passed thrice in the corridor or something) was asking after me. Which is strange because I don't even know her name, haven't spoken to her and have nothing to do with her.

She referred to me as "that small boy". Wtf? I'm 24 and ok I'm short at like...5' 7"/8". But "small boy" made me lol.

Then she apparently asked if I was a genius. Which is a random enough question in itself. Then she goes on to ask if I have a problem looking women in the eyes. Now, I dunno why she'd actually care about this or why she wants me to look women in the eyes, but I have a problem looking anyone in the eyes. I just don't, it doesn't mean I'm being rude or not listening, I just don't tend to look people in the eyes. Whatever.

It must have been the most disjointed and random conversation ever. Pfft.

Anyway. That is all.

Also, I have on the last "new" album from my batch of CDs that arrived months ago. It's Rie Fu's latest album and it's made me love her all over again, I'm really enjoying it. I really miss seeing her in London when she was at uni. Me, Nathan and Gareth saw her a couple of times and I got to speak to her. Natsukashii.

9:20 pm - In knowing the teachings of Zerthimon, I *have* become stronger.
(on the opening of the Bronze Sphere) The sphere wrinkles in your hands, the skin of the sphere peeling away into tears and turning into a rain of bronze that encircles you. Each droplet, each fragment that enters you, you feel a new memory stirring, a lost love, a forgotten pain, an ache of loss - and with it, comes the great pressure of regret, regret of careless actions, the regret of suffering, regret of war, regret of death, and you feel your mind begin buckling from the pressure - so MUCH, all at once, so much damage done to others... so much so an entire FORTRESS may be built from such pain. And suddenly, through the torrent of regrets, you feel the first incarnation again. His hand, invisible and weightless, is upon your shoulder, steadying you. He doesn't speak, but with his touch, you suddenly remember your name. ...and it is such a simple thing, not at all what you thought it might be, and you feel yourself suddenly comforted. In knowing your name, your true name, you know that you have gained back perhaps the most important part of yourself. In knowing your name, you know yourself, and you know, now, there is very little you cannot do.



~Oddly enough, this was one feat I never accomplished. It seems such a simple thing, in retrospect. Oh well, next playthrough!

1:46 am - We thought we could hide from the light down here. We were wrong!
*Yawn*

What a terribly uneventful day/week.

Went outside for a bit today, nothing much happened. I bought a comic book and then spent the next 40 minutes wondering why all the schoolgirls looked like whores and why none of the shops had anything I wanted.

I knew I should have stayed inside and killed myself.

Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. Hate. Hate.

"Today, I went out with my family and boyfriend for dinner. We were all having a good time, and suddenly at the end of dinner he decides to kneel down on one knee, take out an engagement ring, and say "I choose you, Pikachu," with a straight face. He was serious. FML"

It has been reported that some victims of torture, during the act, would retreat into a fantasy world from which they could not wake up. In this catatonic state, the victim lived in a world just like their normal one, except they weren’t being tortured. The only way that they realized they needed to wake up was a note they found in their fantasy world. It would tell them about their condition, and tell them to wake up. Even then, it would often take months until they were ready to discard their fantasy world and please wake up.

11:50 pm - I'll hide my guilt and no regrets. Smoke a thousand cigarettes.
Disjointed update ftw.

Well, not really sure what this is about. Guess it's just one of those updates where I do it just because I feel kinda damn bored.

Somehow a conversation on MSN got onto the topic of Felicia Day and The Guild. Now, I like The Guild, but I resent people promoting it mainly on the grounds of her "hotness". Ok, she's quite attractive, but I feel that the constant emphasis of such a thing undermines the relative awesomeness of the show. This "naturally" led to a conversation about Dr. Horrible.

I've not seen this since I recommended it to Jen (how long ago was that, now? A fair while, at least). So I searched for a free viewing online and found one, and it's just as good as I remember. Ok, it's a Joss Whedon show and you can pretty much drown a continent in the amount of fanboy/girl jizz there is floating about. But I genuinely enjoy Dr. Horrible, for its cast, for its songs, for its ending. I particualy enjoy the ending, because it genuinely makes me feel sad in a way that very few things can make me feel, even thought it's primarily a comedy/musical.

Erm also. I rediscovered Sinch this evening. I think it was because of Beth's FB update the other day and I had a nostalgia trip. Being in Kent, this computer has a substantial amount of Sinch on the HD, so I thought I'd have a listen. And just the memories associated with such songs are quite strange. I think Sinch is one of the very few english-language bands that I'd hold close to my heart (if I had such a thing). It's just good to remember. Natsukashii.

Anyways. There's no point to this update in any other respect than what it means to me. Sorry you have to put up with it, but I just cba with selecting Invisible updates and it's not too deep anyways.

In other news: There is no other news.

current mood: happy
current music: Something More - Sinch
