B-sian-ness and Pizza

My god, I don't even. I'm pretty sure I'm an official B-sian, not an Asian.
English: B
French: B
IT: B
Music: B
Drama: B
and finally Maths B: C

For a start, I gotta say that I'm really proud of myself for IT and Drama because those two subjects were the two that I cared for the least and those were the ones where I got my better marks.

On the other hand, I'm pretty happy with the amount of food I've eaten. Half an ice-cream cake, half a bag of chips, shapes and dips, and then...
i swear I had some more. Oh fuck it, We had a freakin' awesome music lesson. That's all. Funny thing is that, contrary to my non-asian-ness, I somehow ended up saying Brack Friday instead of Black Friday. Which is pretty much a face-palm moment. Damn.

So ummm....
I got this heart in my inbox about a week ago and I don't seem to remember posting any question thingies. Maintenant, je suis très curieux ._.

Anyway, I've noticed that I've been straying further and further away from my little Asian group. Why? My guess is that I'm a little sick and tired of all this Dota shit. No offence, but you guys need to grow up a little and get the fuck away from that computer. Maybe that's just me, but I honestly prefer just being outside. Actually, yeah, that is just me but as far as I know, Isaac and James are the only Asians in our group willing to go out and get a bit of sun or at least who aren't exactly game-addicted.

Frenchies, here I come. Or I might just wonder around with Francois and Isaac. asdfjkl; I hate being socially awkward. Why do I even have facebook? I should probably exercise some time during the holidays. Oh shit, Amus exam next year. What am I even saying.

Okay. I need some sleep. I've got pizza to eat tomorrow.

Alpacas and squirrel masks

So I've heard a bunch of people (namely the fanbase "Exotics") have been shipping Kris (Exo member) and an alpaca (is it an alpaca? or is it a llama. idk ._.). But, y'know, I've seen a whole lot of OTPs ships and whatnot but this...
what.



Guise that is legendary. I'm not a fan but still. This is good. right.

then there was this right after it


Because squirrel masks.


Anyway, I was having a look at my old playlist and one of the songs was Time of your Life by Green Day. Old song but a good song. So I went along and youtube'd it and as it turns out, the song has an alternate name.

Good Riddance. ಠ_ಠ

Funny thing was that at the time, one of the teachers were talking to us about subliminal messaging. Funny, sir. Real funny. Actually, that is kinda funny. 

Anyway, I've been listening to an awful lot of K-indie and Rock lately. Specifically: Nell, FT Island, Busker Busker, Good Charlotte, and a couple of others that I can't pull right off the top of my head. 

That's about it, I guess.

My friend isn't scared so much of the Apocalypse rather than she is of the ALPACAlypse.
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHa
oh god that was bad.

~New Theme~

So it's only 11:20 at the moment and I still feel like blogging. Yes, I know it's not late but still, I had a long day and a short night last night so just bear with me. I've spent the last hour trying to figure out fancy new blog theme. I think it looks nice~ What do you guys think? It seems like an improvement from my last one. I even added music :D

Anyway, I'm going to start doing a few other things on my blog soon so keep a lookout for that.

Actually, I think that's quite enough from me. I need some sleep.

Turkey Dubstep

What do you get when put turkeys and dubstep together?

TURKEY DUBSTEP. Chyeah

What the f-- oh man that's just... yeah. 

YES. Exams are over. Fuck yes. That's right. Over. Now I can go off learning how to do flips like this and do it to some bitch I hate at the end of next year.

My god, that would be awesome. Anyway. Going backwards from today. Not that anyone would care~ :P

ITS: The theory part of this was the easiest exam I had ever done. No joke. 2 minutes for that part but prac. Man, that was the worst part. I ended up restarting the whole thing three times, recopying and replacing files twice and my background wouldn't come up properly. That was screwed up but oh well, I managed to get a piece of paper in the bin while the teacher wasn't looking :P

French: Well, French was OK aside from the fact that I had to improvise (almost) my entire writing task and Mr Hackett was wearing his relatively distracting Friday shirt. From the year of Immersion, he told us he had a volcano shirt, some Hawaiian shirt, a deep sea shirt and one other shirt which I can't remember...then again, who really cares? Reading comprehension was pretty good. I answered most of the questions so that's good. 

Day off on Thursday.

Maths on Wednesday was actually okay. Aside from not even knowing the first question and a highly screwed up Modelling and Problem solving section. Or maybe it's just me. Who knows.
Monday:
English. way too easy. Doesn't mean I passed so don't take me as cocky or anything. Still, we had an hour and a half to do it and most of us were finished after half an hour to an hour.

So...that's all quite lovely.

Blogs had been becoming quite scarce over the last week and a bit. "Well shit, Eddie, I wonder why." Well I'm sorry I've been a little more relaxed on my assessments than you have~

Plans plans plans.
 - Paintball with the boys sometime on the holidays
 - I found a 6-week training program last night and I need a partner to do it with...
 - Sydney on Christmas Eve
 - LES MISERABLES. I've been crazy over that for the last week or so.
 - I'm still finding things to do so yeah.

I've started getting back into magic and cardistry just recently and I gotta say, it's going pretty well. I just really need to work on my cardistry over the holidays or I'm screwed. They're good finger exercises too. Oh and remember to check these guys out. They're the reason I started cardistry~ Speaking of magic, I'm quite obsessed with the new and upcoming movie "Now You see Me" which to me uses a lot of tricks from the Prestige or rather a variation of them. Stuff like the Transporter Man, the Water Torture Escape. It even has Michael Caine in it.

"First rule of magic: always be the smartest guy in the room."

I guess that's a long enough post.

Storms~

Man, I am LOVING  this weather. There's rain, and it's dark and it's a little cold but not too cold and it's perfect for sleeping in. Last night was crazy. I planned on sitting outside just watching the lightning with a cup of cocoa but Eric threatened to lock me out so, yeah. But back to the weather. They said there was another storm headed our way tonight so I can't wait for that :3 Fuck, I even planned for it:

Lovely weather for sleeping in but NO. So there's a maths C exam tomorrow morning for those who have it (which I don't, thank god) and we all have English in the afternoon and I wasted all my time, today, watching the Mentalist, Unknown and mucking around on twitter, tumblr and a music software. Oh well, at least it was fun :P

Holy crap, it just got really dark. like from nice sunshine and a few clouds to no sunshine and (close to black) clouds in 5 seconds.

Now it's raining and I think it's gonna hail.

Yay :D

mmk I'm gonna leave it there with a reference to the Oatmeal. go read the latest post. It's good~

FOODPORN

I swear, the amount of food I'm looking at isn't exactly healthy for me. It really makes me feel skinny knowing that I haven't eaten any of this but i really, really want to try at least a few of them.

Start off with the sandwiches

And a bit of everything else

Then, some dessert:

DAT CAKE COOKIE CAKE.

And I'm loving the storm as well. my desk just started shaking hoshit this is good.

Anyway, that's about it.

A la Prochaine~

Man, I gotta say, that study leave is pretty awesome right now. But then again, it's only the first two days. Just wait till next week: an English exam on Monday, Maths on Wednesday, Reading and Writing French on Friday as well as ITS on Friday afternoon.

Oh well, there's always tomorrow right? :P

but. BUT. graduation. my GOD the graduation. *cries*

We're gonna be year 12s next year. hoshit dude. It feels like year 8 was last term and this year felt like one term and they said next year would feel go back like *snaps fingers*.

oh gosh, I'm gonna get so sick from this ice cream. It's pretty much all I've had: two iceblocks and two bowls of ice cream.

Nothing much today. Just a bunch of annoying as F*** year 8s and 9s (and a few year 10s) on the bus.

found a new webcomic: Doctor Cat Md.

Go check it out :D

A la Prochaine

Well Sh**, that was dark

I swear that if you pull some kind of shit one more time, it's not physical punishment you'll be getting (you never know), no, your credibility will be shot down pretty damn low and your beloved reputation will probably go with it. That's from my point of view, anyway but don't let that get you down, I want to see what you do this time and I'll try to use that against you and being a Christian, you should know very well that lust is one of the seven deadly sins but hey, I'm an atheist, what can I say? Lucky me.

So that was a little dark but it doesn't really get better from here. I've been thinking a little (too much) lately. So if you're not feeling your best, I'd advise that - at this point - stop reading after this sentence and go look at some pictures of food or some cute stuff on /aww.

I've been thinking about death and how interesting it is as an atheist. Sure there's a release of endorphins which makes us feel every feeling and relive every memory, conscious and subconscious but what about death itself. Specifically, I want to talk about instant death. How does that feel? A bullet to the brain, a snapped neck, getting hit by a train...I'd imagine it's like getting knocked unconscious but you don't wake up. After that, it's just a whole lot of nothingness. Well no shit, this is depressing, it's death and it's normal to feel a little uncomfortable with it. I'm just curious, I guess, as to how it would feel. maybe it's just the exams getting me down. Or maybe it's the annoying thing that can't help itself but be what it is and the songs that I'm listening to really don't help.

Oh well, enough of my pointless whining. I'm gonna go "study". *shifty eyes*

haha, I've been listening to a bit of everything now. Ben L'Oncle Soul is amazing. Just sayin' :P

Nothing much, really, I just wanted to tell a joke

oh my fuck, three assessments in three days. what. I had French on Monday, Music today and Drama's due tomorrow. Which isn't that bad seeing as I've finished Drama to a pretty good standard. English notes are due in tomorrow and I haven't even finished a first draft of the actual thing.

A rapist and con artist get caught by the sheriff in a small town. The town doesn’t have much money to take care of prisoners so the sheriff gets an idea. He decides he’ll charge money to let the townspeople punish the crooks and use the money to keep them in jail for as long as he can. The sheriff figures even a short stay in jail will be plenty after a little “justice” from the townspeople.

The sheriff takes the criminals to the town square, handcuffs them posts and sets up shop. He tells the people that the punishment should fit the crime so anyone can pay $1 to kick the rapist in the groin. Since the con artist used his image to wrong his victims, anyone can pay $1 to hit him in the face.

After a while there are two long lines for the criminals. Some people paying $5, $10, even $15 to get their licks in. After a long while, a guy steps up for his turn and sees the con artist’s face is a bloody pulp and thinks “He’s so beat up at this point, he probably can’t even feel anything anymore. I’m not going to waste my money on that.” So the guy walks up and kicks the con artist squarely in the groin.

The sheriff sees this and hurries over and says, “Hey son, you can’t do that here.”

The man asks, “Why not?”

And the sheriff replies, “Because this is the punch line.”

The Pledge, the Turn and the Prestige

"Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts. The first part is called "The Pledge". The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird or a man. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal. But of course... it probably isn't. The second act is called "The Turn". The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't really want to know. You want to be fooled. But you wouldn't clap yet. Because making something disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back. That's why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call "The Prestige"." 

Much easier to understand than Inception but yet another amazing movie by Christopher Nolan. My God, I should really shut up about that.

So I realised, recently, that I've become more and more sane as I've written less and less in my diary but I've started talking to myself which brings me right back down to slightly insane.

I'm not really keen on saying much now but I guess I'm loving the fact that it's a Friday and it looks like it's gonna rain. Which means sleeping to the sound of rain. asdfjkl;

Not much to say.

Fanboying, Sandwiches and Lamp-Posts

HOSHIT

so I mentioned the Prestige in the last post but I didn't really elaborate much on it. The whole thing is pretty much a competition between two magicians and it's just full of mindfuck because that's what Christopher Nolan always does. He's amazing like that. And the whole thing is just asdfjkl; . I won't give anything away but it's just...yeah.

WATCH IT. IT'S LIKE-- ugh

anyway. that's enough of me and my prestige "fanboying" shit, i don't know if that even exists. Fanboying.

Well some people picked the perfect time to have a party. Apparently Mark is starting to get a little more social than he normally has been. Which is good because that way I can tell my parents that "if Mark has time to party, then I have time to party". Which begs the comeback: "Well that's just because he's smarter than you." And the rest of our grade's Asians but that's beside the point because Mark pretty much never goes out.

So yeah.

I don't think I've mentioned that I made a S'mores Sandwich. My god, it's the most heavenly sandwich you can get (not to mention the most sugar-filled). It's pretty much a layer of choc-chips, a layer of melted/toasted marshmallows and a layer of crumbled graham crackers baked and between two slices of bread.

Results: here and here.

So go ahead. Buy a loaf of white bread, a pack of choc-chips, a pack of marshmallows and a pack of Arnotts Arrowroot biscuits. A few tips: kinda bake each one by themselves ie. put the marshmallows on one slice and the choc-chips on the other and melt/bake them separately. Crumble the biscuits into about this size and sprinkle onto the slice with the choc chips. Slam the two pieces together and toast them for a little longer and there you go. A S'mores Sandwich. Eat one while watching the Prestige or something, I dunno. With a tall, frosty glass of milk straight from the fridge. <-- got that line from Garfield :P
Anyway, I'm gonna go "do some homework". Speaking of which, our drama draft isn't due until Wednesday and French wasn't due until tomorrow so that's good.

mmk, I'm gonna go now.

Bleh

So a couple of things have happened over the last couple of days, interesting, at that but I think I'll leave them as memories rather than having to "document" them.

Anyway, the QYO finale was yesterday and I guess it was pretty good aside from the fact that part of QYO2 is full of the "too cool" kids and the other part of it is the over 18 group. QYO3 is full of naïve kids who are overall pretty crap to be around. JSE is just kids. and QYS is intimidating because everyone there is pretty much the elite group of the QYORG. Oh well, at least we played well. 

There's this thing with my computer online access: for those who haven't heard about it, it's almost as bad as the school restrictions. Initially, I didn't mean for this post to be so complain-stricken and tiring to read but if you're still reading up to this point then...well...you must be pretty bored. Well here goes. Things blocked at home:

Facebook, tumblr, Blogger, Hotmail, 8tracks, youtube, reddit, wimp, Pirate Bay and twitter is getting there. What I mean by Twitter "getting there" is that it's not actually blocked, rather, it just "doesn't work" and what  I mean by it "doesn't work", is that I can log in but only after 30 seconds, and when I do, I can't click on anything. Sure, they come up as links but nothing happens when I click anything which, in my case, leads to hair pulling situations. 

tl;dr: Anything I like using online will be found out about and restricted. 

well, that's my rant for the day. I should probably stop procrastinating seeing as I have a French writing article and a Drama draft due tomorrow. Oh and I should probably stop playing this strangely addictive problem solving game that I've been playing for the last half hour. 

The Prestige is a crazy movie. It's just asdjfkl;ajsfdkl;sajfkdls;af

so yeah. and so is Drive. It's one of those movies that starts really slow but it hits one point it just slams its pedal to the metal (see what I did there? ;D)

Anyway, that's it.
