Moo

Long time since I wrote here.

Not much has been happening really. Had a weeks break from college the last 7 days, which is pretty awesome, but on the other hand, we only -actually- have to do 3 days out of 5 anyway, so to be honest, it doesn't really matter. Once again I swore to quit playing World of Warcraft, and once again I failed. I wonder when I will actually stop playing it, because every time i've tried to quit in the last few months, i've failed miserably.

Capdown in 5 or 6 days, awesome. Should be a fun experience, and since it's such a small venue, maybe i'll be able to talk to the band a little. Seen them about.. 4-5 times before, and they're awesome every single time they play. Still a little rough around the edges on stage, but damn, they play with tons of energy which really makes you get into the songs.

I got that job I applied for, I actually had to phone up to find out if I got it, at which point they said something equivalent to "Oh, right, yeah, we want you to work here, but we forgot and/or can't be bothered to tell you about it. Thanks for phoning, we probably would've never contacted you otherwise", but it's money, so hey.

Christmas is a'coming, and once again, I can't think of a single thing that I actually want. Guess i'll just ask for a few random DVDs or something, Scrubs is looking pretty awesome right about now. The only bad thing about christmas is having to go to a family get-together, which always turns out to be 3-4 hours of me sitting awkwardly trying to look like i'm doing something because there's nobody at these things to talk to, except for the occasional "Hey, how's life!" question, which, invariably, gets answered with either a "Good, good" or a "Great!", and then fades into the distance.

What else..

I just sat here thinking of what to write, and thought it'd be funny if I made a blog, set the "Change Time & Date" field on every post to 2050, and just write about how Planet of the Apes was an elaborate warning to the past, and that monkeys -have- actually taken over the planet. How awesome would that be, really. Actually, it probably wouldn't, but I giggled at the idea anyway.

Late Edit: Yay, I thought of more things to bitch about! Mostly blog-related, after getting bored and clicking the "Next Blog" button a few times. Subject A: Blogs created by 14-16 year old kids, bitching about how much life sucks, how much their life is fucked up, and about how they want to kill themselves and shit. You're fucking 15ish, get the fuck out there and start having fun. If they can't handle being 15, how the fuck are they going to handle a job and a relationship? Christ.

Subject B: Sports blogs. Now, I may be a tad biased, since I loathe pretty much every sport, but christ, if I want to know the score of Game X between Z and Y, i'm not going to go to "Joes Baseball Blog" or "Mikes Football Blog", i'm going to go to fucking BBC.co.uk or something, I know it's hypocritical, bitching about blogs in a blog, but screw it, it's 4am and i'm feeling that way.

Subject C: Blogs from 14 year old girls who cannot type a single word without abbreviating it somehow. Usually in capitals too. Actual quote, "2DAY I WENT 2 DA PICS WIF SHELL. SAW WEDDIN CRASHERS, IT WOZ PRETY FUNNY BUT 2 BORIN SUMTIMES". What. The. Fucking. Fuck. We need to find these blogs, find the people who write them, line the up and shoot them. Stop butchering my language, and use basic grammatical skills. Why all capitals, why? You can't be bothered to push an extra key to turn "WIF" into "With", so how the hell can you be bothered to push the caps lock key at the start of the post. Die please, just die.

Is there a subject D? One sec.

Two secs.

Fuck it, I don't think so. If there is, it isn't important enough to piss me off enough as much as the others do, especially subject C. I weep for mankind. [/EDIT]

And my mind is totally blank now, and I can't think of anything to write about, so

Another post-type thing.

Moo.

Why am I so obsessive about everything? Let me elaborate.

Whenever I want something, I start to think. Over time, I slowly build up this idyllic view of what I want in my head. Say, for instance, it's a bike. Over the course of a few days, weeks, in my head, I build up a collection of images, like, riding around the block at top speed, doing some wheelies, skids, etc. I've never actually wanted a bike, but it's a good example. I drive myself crazy with it, and eventually, there comes a point where I will do -anything- to get it, because i've built it up so much in my mind, I start to feel that my life will not be complete without it. I become frantic, desperate. This leads to me doing utterly retarded things to obtain said object, which I have usually over-hyped to such a degree, no matter if it was a robotic shark with x-ray vision, it could not live up to my standards, hence, I am dissapointed.

Meh.

Still haven't heard from the job place, starting to worry, I thought the interview went very well. Haven't really applied anywhere else, which was probably a mistake, so if I don't get this one, it'll set the entire job thing back a while. On this topic, i've been thinking about the entire university/employment conundrum, and me and a few friends think we might take a gap year, and share a house, get jobs, etc. Scary, thinking of moving out, but I do -know- that it would be insanely fun.

Discovered a new band lately, The Schoolyard Heroes. Female lead singer, which is very different in the punk/rock scene, only other one I can think of is that chick from Tsunami Bomb. Really into them right now, they're like a heavier New Found Glory, which is pretty awesome. Also, got back into NOFX after a little break from them, you just can't stay away from songs like Showerdays.

Not much else to talk about, except to say that damn, I need to take a shower.

Until next time amigos, adios.

Moopers & Pickles.

I just stubbed my toe when I sat down to write this. Fsckpickles.

Anyway, I return.

I meant to write this yesterday, but got distracted by something shiny and didn't. I promise I won't this time. Although, if I did, you wouldn't know, because I wouldn't post. Furthermore, nobody -actually- reads this, so "you" is nobody, so you wouldn't care if I never updated this anyway.

...

Anyway, got home from college last night with -the- worst headache ever, lay down to relax until it went away, ended up falling asleep and waking up at 4am thinking where the fuck my evening went. Hey, at least my headache's gone, and I haven't slept for that long in a while.

Now, a little thing that's been pissing me off. What is with all these political and moronic blogs? I mean, Jesus Christ, "BUSH IS AN IDIOTZ AND LIEK HE SUX N' STUFF" No shit, really? Then you've got blogs that just quote poems or songs, which is also retarded for obvious reasons that I don't even have to use sarcasm to portray. Also, heed these words, if you ever create a blog, THINK about the colour scheme or background people. If I see one more blog with a red on red, blue on blue or a stupid picture in the background which makes it unreadable, I am going to scream, keep it simple, black on white or the inverse, or at least check that it's readable. Please, do it for Jesus.

Moving on.

Planning to go with a few friends to see Capdown on the 5th of November, should be a fun time. What's gotten to me lately is the 2006 Groezrock festival. You cannot fathom how much I am looking forward to this festival. It is going to be absolutely insanely fun. I know a guy who lives in Belgium who is going too, so it'll be fun to meet him, and have a few (a lot) of drinks together.

College work is piling up again, but i'm pretty sure I can stay on top of it this year, I learnt a lot from last years mistakes, and i'm gonna try to step it up. And why the crap is a lot spelled how it is. Alot is much better. From now on, fsck it, i'm writing it as alot. If you don't like it, you can eat a bullet.

What else, what else, what else.

Right, I had a job interview, and i'm pretty sure that i'll get it, which is both good and bad. Good that i'm going to have my own money, bad that I actually have to do a job, but I guess it had to be done, so meh. Funny thing about me is that I can think on my feet to a scary degree. Got asked a question at the interview, and I didn't hesitate, didn't go "errrm", I was like, BAM, answer. I just thought it up, right there, on the spot. Bad thing about that is, sometimes I think up a stupid answer, then I can't take it back, and I get into this huge big web of lies thing. Thankfully my answer wasn't stupid at the interview, and it went well.

Laziness, tiredness and overall mehness is catching up to me, so I guess i'll say goodbye until next time. I'm not sure who i'm saying goodbye to, again, but meh meh meh. Maybe somebody will stumble across this someday. In that case, hi.

Bye.
