Oho, I'm alive!
Hark, a post! And written for the sake of a certain Miss Catherine...
Indeed, I live! It may have been almost 2 months since I last posted, but bebother and confusticate time.
School. is. tiring. Like. Really. Tiring.
I mean, reeeallly......I don't get bucketloads of homework every night, but I do wish I didn't have so many things due....
Like tomorrow, I have an English essay thinggy due, and also my Religion Outcome has to be done. Note: Religion Outcome is similar to an essay or an exam, and I haven't even begun my notes on it.
I'm doomed.
I'll be doing tomorrow's outcome on plastic surgery. Or self-perception. Both, really.
You don't really care about my homework, do you?
Nevermind. I shall end this post with various notes.
Note #1: Never ever ever ever read "Maestro" by Peter Goldsworthy. I have to read it for English. And I hate the book. Sex scenes galore, occasional swearing, and just plain stupidity all in this book.
Note #2: I can't wait for my Anberlin CDs to arrive! Phweeeee! Anberlin FOR THE WIN!
Note #3: Google is useless when searching for generic and common terms, e.g. chocolate, maestro, etc.
Note #4: Rawr. Miss you. Rawr. Hugs! I love you all thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much. Bya bya

Rawr
I want to update my blog....
.....but I am oh-so-lazy. =)
(Sorry, Soph)
Korowa is scary. =(
Exams are scary. =(
I don't like scary. =(
Blackouts are scary. =(
Lack of electricity is scary. =(
Lack of cold air is scary. =(
I don't like Australian weather. =(
Hugs, however, aren't scary and are awesome. So = give yourself a hug! <3>
And if you don't, I'll give you one! <3
And even if you do give yourself a hug, I'll give you another one! <3
Wednesday, December 06, 2006
Whee, I love you all!
Tuesday was awesome. I love my friends. Major huggies to all of you.
I'm gonna miss all you guys so much. In one hour, it'll be 12, midnight. And then it will be my last full day in Malaysia.
It only hit me today, during the afternoon, that things can't really be the same. I mean. Some people have to be spoken to in real life, or it'll be boring.
I don't like change. Whenever people ask me what my worst fear is, I'd reply with "change". Change is something so unpredictable. You can't like it, it's just not possible.
You don't know what's gonna happen. You don't know whether this "change" is for better or for worse. You don't know anything. It's just one big empty void right now. And the moment you take a step into it, you see everything. And you're frightened.
You're frightened of how you're gonna fit into your environment. You don't know whether people will like you. You're worried about every single detail. Why? Because you don't know anything.
Change is one huge mess. But then...change doesn't have to be scary. As long as you have people by your side.
"I've got your back if you've got my hand."
That's my motto. That's my way of life. Well, one of my many "ways of life". If you stand by my side and guide me through problems, I'll be right behind you, pushing you forward.
And I do have people holding my hand. Many of them. Friends from a long time ago = Sarah, Nina, Grace, Zoe, Vonn. Friends from just maybe a year or two = Brandon, Julian, Sophira, Benedict, Jon Roberts, Josh. And newly made friends who still mean the world to me = Kelvin, Shoon Fai.
And this isn't including everyone who I'd like to list. One person who comes to mind as a real helper, a person I can talk philosophically with, a friend who I can connect to, in jest, in problems, in everything = Miss Catherine.
Sarah's another amazing friend. Scary, very scary at times. But hey, she's always there to knock common sense into me. "roaaaanne, he's not good enough for you"
Nina's another person. We've argued so much about pretty much everything. And now, when we talk, all we talk about is our future and dreams. Something that's so important. "Yeah, let's conquer the world. I want America!"
And Soph. Come on, you were expecting this, weren't you? Pretty much everyone thinks we're best friends. And maybe we are. I don't know. But what I know is that she's someone who I'll keep for a long time. "You can be shy person who wants to dominate the world what. [soft voice] mwehe, I want world domination, mwehe"
And Roberts? MOST HUGABLE PERSON EVAR! He's like a giant teddybear! And I love teddybears! He's a real awesome bloke. Gah, I wanna hug him one more time. His lame humor is always what I need to cheer myself up. If I'm feeling down, I would just have to talk to him and I'll smile again. Something about his disposition, his cheeriness, his kindness really puts a smile on my face. And come on, who can't love his lameness? "hunting with the fox for the hound..."
I guess I could go on and on. In fact, I already have. But everything I have to say can be summed up in these words = I have found True Friends and they are RIGHT BESIDE ME
On Tuesday, during the farewell gathering, I had to go home earlier, at 6:30. I was in Soph's room alone, transferring the pictures. Roberts came in and went, "Roanne, you're leaving? How can you leave now? I mean, what kind of farewell is it if you're not here?"
There was something in his voice that made him sound almost miserable. It made me even sadder that I had to leave.
Later, when ALL OF US, went down to greet my dad, I couldn't help but feel loved. They were all there for ME! They were all walking with me to ask my dad to let me stay longer. They were all awesome.
Brandon once said something really awesome about me. "Even though she's far away, she's still our little mei mei."
I could say the same for everyone here. Even though you're not sitting next to me right now, even though we're not talking right now, you're still holding my hand.
And so, this might be my last blog post made in Malaysia. But if that's the case, then so be it. Because it doesn't matter where I write. What matters is what I write. It's still written by me, Roanne Lau the Great. Roanne Lau, the little milo-drinking girl with a penchant for hugging, the midget whose best friend is her laptop and her true love her good download rates [I kid, I kid], the person who is holding your hand. Yes, yours. No, not you, creepy stalker reading this random blog.
Thank you for everything. Thank you, I love you all, God bless. Remember, look to the sky and you'll see me! We all share the same sun and sky, no matter where we are. And lastly....HUG!

YESASIA HAS SHIPPED MY ORDER
COMMENCE PARTY TIME
....
...
:D
Seriously, they shipped it out! Four days ahead of time! The expected date was suppose to be the 21st!
I <3 YesAsia. Now, I just have to hope that free shipping also gives you tracking numbers. Because, ya know, I'm paranoid and need to see whether my order is coming or not. Rawr.

My sister is back from Australia! MEGA-YAYS!
We were at the airport for ages, looking for my sister. Finally, my mom turned to me and goes, "Hey, is that Rachel there?"
...I think I need glasses. Cause I couldn't make out the face. Kyahahah. BUT IT WAS MY SISTER! MEGA-WOOTS!
Hehehe, she brought me Cadbury! Yay!
Oh, and she couldn't bring me my bush hat, or my webcam, OR her external harddrive. Thanks a lot, sis. Yeah, thanks a lot.
Man, finally, after all these months, SHE'S BACK! IN RED + BLACK!
Oh, Old Pop seems to allow me to order online. I shall rewind time for your information
STOP REWIND PLAY REWIND PLAY
"Dad?" Roanne said hesistantly, half-afraid to bring up the topic.
"Hmm?" He replied, his eyes peeled to the road. And maybe his handphone.
"Remember last time, when I asked whether I could order online?" She gave a great sigh. Finally, the question that had been nagging her for days had came out. The burden had left her.
Alas, Old Pop has serious hearing problems and needed the question to be repeated two more times before he heard it all.
"No, you can't order..." Somewhere in the abyss of her mind, Roanne could hear the echoes of her upset cries.
"...yet. Wait till you're in Australia." AND HOPE IS REKINDLED!
"But why?" As happy as she was at the positive answer, Roanne was a very impatient girl. "The shipping will be longer to there. Here, it'll take only two weeks max."
"No, that's only in the U.S. Overseas, it'll take much longer." Dad had a point. But, Roanne had done her research and easily dispelled his argument.
"This site is based in Hong Kong, actually. So it'll be faster to deliver here in Malaysia then to Australia or U.S." Roanne declared proudly. Obviously, spending hours reading and re-reading the FAQs at the site had paid off.
"Oh? How much is the shipping?"
"Free!" She announced, eager to continue boasting of all the greatness that YesAsia had to offer.
"But what about the tax?"
Tax? What tax? The little girl's mind began to whirl around, trying to recall anything about a tax. She remembered something like "Value-added Tax" or some other nonsense, but nothing really "tax-y"
...oh dear.....
"Well, I'll let you see the site later, lah." The girl replied finally. If you don't have an answer, let someone else answer it for you.

Squee! Sister's back, and I can order! I daresay this is awesome. But just *how* much I can order, I know naught. He might limit me severely to such a budget that I can't buy ANYTHING. Or he can be a loving, generous, and awesome father and let me buy everything I want. Man, he's gonna be broke if he does that.
Maybe he'll let me buy up to RM500. HOPE WITH ME, FELLOW READERS!
RM500 is more than enough to buy the FF3 OST, DoC-FF7-Limited Edition OST, and the Okami Original Soundtrack (notice how Okami got all the proper terms, Soph?) PLUS other mini-albums that I have my eyes set on!
....excuse me as I go and get my Cadbury from my darling sister. <3

Screw you, sendspace. Screw you straight to the land of screwed up upload services.
My gosh, that site is RIDICULOUSLY ANNOYING.
The only good thing about it is that its layout is blue. Other than that, IT'S PURE EVIL.
I never was fond of it. But in the past, I did quite like it because it didn't have annoying ads.
But now. Now it has pop-ups. Annoying ones. Were they always there? Perverted, irritating ads. Die.
And the lack of upload slots! My golly gutentag, it hates me! "There are no free download slots available."
BASTARDS. LET ME DOWNLOAD THIS. PLEASE.
And their whole "free sendspace Max!" thing. What a farce. I need 10,000 points to get it free. But they won't allow you to get more than 5 points in one day. So I'd need 2,000 days to get enough points. 2,000 friggin days! How many years is that? Far too many!
And the lack of 'guaranteed resume support'! Good grief, that is stupid. Not only am I forced to repeatedly refresh the page in hopes that I get a download slot, I'm going to have to REDOWNLOAD the file if it my modem disconnects!
Who's the smartass behind sendspace? I wanna kill him. Or her. Or it. I refuse to believe any human being[s] is capable of such stupidity.
You'd think they'd have some 'exception' rules. Like, if the file is under 50 MB, GUARANTEED SLOTS FOR ALL! Or at least resume support for everyone and everything.
But nooooo...."Upgrade to sendspace Max! Save an amazing $48.00! Blah blah blah lies lies lies give us all your money blah blah blah."
I hate you sendspace. Die

Dear Daddykins,
Please let me order online.
Love,
Roanne Lau the Great
My gosh, I really wish I could order online. Oh. The joy I would have. If I could just have one, just one videogame soundtrack, that would be enough. It'll be the first step to having an ELITE collections, where I can truly join the ranks of high Geekdom.
Also, it would be a giant milestone for the Daughters of Lau. A small mark of freedom. A large leap for joy. A major decrease in Dad's bank account.
Truly, to receive something through the post...that would make me smile, laugh, and scream in supreme happiness.
Now, SOMEBODY BUY ME AN EXTERNAL HARDDRIVE, PLEASE, I'LL GIVE YOU MY FIRSTBORN SON, CAUSE RIGHT NOW, MY BUILT-IN HARDDISKS ARE, LIKE, GETTING RAPED BY MY CONSTANT DOWNLOADING.
(Okami for the win)

Bwahahahaha.
Today, Grace had to use my desk to use my cable thinggy to synchronize her work. Why not use her own desk? Jon Ong was there, clacking away at DotA.
So, Grace (with my permission) closed the lid of my laptop and did her job, while I watched Jon.
Later, I forgot that my laptop was not properly shut off or even on standby. I asked Soph to pack for me since I was playing Warcraft myself (I love the soundtrack. THERE ARE CHOIRS. CHOIRS!)
So when I went back home, I read the newspaper (ZOMG, THEY TALKED ABOUT BITTORRENT IN THE STAR-TECH SECTION! AND AZUREUS IS MENTIONED! ZOMG!) and then opened up my laptop to do some extra maths.
And lo and behold! The thing was freakin BURNING...well, not burning per se. But it was horrendously HOT. I couldn't hold it properly. I quickly grabbed it out and flopped it to my bed as gently as I could while trying to not burn the shit out of my fingers.
I flicked open the screen, and the battery was flat. I quickly ejected my DVD drive to let it cool invidually (I am so smart).
I was so worried that something, wires or something else, had burnt. So when I start up my laptop hours later, I was praying fervently.
...and then the scariest thing happened. A weird tinny noise was coming out of my laptop, as the drive was buzzing its way to life.
A
WEIRD
TINNY
NOISE
That's like a huge scary sign telling you that something has screwed with you laptop. Or maybe with its sound system.
So, when I finally realized the weird, tinny noise was making a melody, a jazzy one at that, it occured to me that my Windows Media Player was on, and that it wasn't paused when Grace shut the cover.
Ho hum. Scary to me.
Oh, and Soph and I practiced today again. Wooteh! Practiced the piano, that is. We play B-E-A-UTIFULLY! Well, yes and no.
Yes = It's the optimistic answer, and we're already almost through page 1
No = I could just be biased, and we could suck majorly, AND we keep doing other things when we're supposed to be practicing. SOPH, STOP PLAYING TO ZANARKAND WHEN WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYING E~MOL&W!!!!
Eh heh heh...so, Brandon is gonna play Melodies of Life while I'm gonna play To Zanarkand. I MUST WIN WITH MY BEAUTIFUL SONG!...=(
But Brandon plays AWESOMELY. But he messed up alot when he played the song in front of me. Now, either he isn't as awesome as I thought, or I make people nervous.
If it's the former: =)
If it's the latter: =D
So, it's all a win-win thing. Wheeeeee!!!!
Oh, and I gave Jon Ong some videogame music for his handphone. He says I have good taste in music. But then, I gave him mostly Metal Gear Solid songs, so OBVIOUSLY everyone loves them. D'oh, MGS FOR THE WIN!!!

Oh, and Soph and I practiced today again. Wooteh! Practiced the piano, that is. We play B-E-A-UTIFULLY! Well, yes and no.
Yes = It's the optimistic answer, and we're already almost through page 1
No = I could just be biased, and we could suck majorly, AND we keep doing other things when we're supposed to be practicing. SOPH, STOP PLAYING TO ZANARKAND WHEN WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYING E~MOL&W!!!!
Eh heh heh...so, Brandon is gonna play Melodies of Life while I'm gonna play To Zanarkand. I MUST WIN WITH MY BEAUTIFUL SONG!...=(
But Brandon plays AWESOMELY. But he messed up alot when he played the song in front of me. Now, either he isn't as awesome as I thought, or I make people nervous.
If it's the former: =)
If it's the latter: =D
So, it's all a win-win thing. Wheeeeee!!!!
Oh, and I gave Jon Ong some videogame music for his handphone. He says I have good taste in music. But then, I gave him mostly Metal Gear Solid songs, so OBVIOUSLY everyone loves them. D'oh, MGS FOR THE WIN!!!

Woooooooo, an update! Huzzah! Kingdoms may come, towers may fall, lives may shatter,
BUT I HAVE UPDATED!
Hah, when was the last time I posted something? Months ago? Woot, I am the laziest
blogger alive!
Ah, not much to post, anyhoo. I am currently downloading, as per usual. The RIAA are
gonna hunt me down soon, shhhhhh...Truthfully, I try to avoid downloading popular items. Which is why if you were to look at my 'To Download' list, you would only see weird stuff. Like Final Fantasy Ultimania guides, or videogame music, or Irish folk music. You know, stuff that's
relatively hard or expensive to obtain. I tend to stay away from modern media for 2
reasons: to be fair to the artist/actors and also because most modern stuff are crap.
No, really. Crap. HOLLYWOOD FOR THE LOSE, BOO!
The most 'modern' thing I'm downloading at the moment is 'Take the Lead'. And I'm
downloading that only because Sophira requested it. I hope I'm downloading a good
quality one...pfft...whatever. I can redownload another torrent if it sucks. XD
I truly am...THE DOWNLOADER! I gotta make up a theme song for myself soon. I want
something very funky and old-fashioned. Something similar to the cheesy, eccentric
sounds of The Incredibles OST. Hmm...
Oh, and I love Masashi Hamauzu. He may be already married (confirmed), very ugly
(unconfirmed, as I have yet to see a picture of him), and whathaveyou, but his music
totally rock. Ah, his inventive chord progression and fascinating, colorful style is
so addictive. But then, I am a dork. WOOT FOR VIDEOGAME MUSIC! Really, you'd think videogame music is lame and whatnot. But it's seriously not. In fact, it's a very diverse medium that should be explored by ALL. ALL. THAT INCLUDES YOU. Go download some Final Fantasy, Unlimited Saga, or Metal Gear Solid soundtracks. You will see the light then! See the light!
And another awesome thing about Sir Hamauzu: he's a brilliant arranger for the piano.
He takes complex, almost messy and jumbled songs, and transforms them into enjoyable,
beautiful songs for the piano. THE PIANO. Meaning that I can play it! Wheeeeeeee!
And he's not only awesome with the piano; he's just plain A-W-E-S-O-M-E with the
entire orchestra! And not just orchestral songs, tack on techno to the list! Well, I don't think he's exactly wonderful with techno, but it's fairly enjoyable and peaceful. But his orchestral songs are the shiznit. Whatever shiznit is.
Bah, I'm done rambling. Here are just a few random notes to a few random people:
Rachel Lau: YOU FOOL! YOU FOOLISH FOOL! BUY ME AN EXTERNAL HARDDRIVE! Oh, yah, don't do drugs, Iloveyoublahblahblah, be careful, buy me an external hard drive, and study
hard. Toodle-lah, Rah-ree-ray-roo-roo.
Sophira Chong: I'm bored. Dunno if you even still check this. FF9 OST. Keep hoping
for my modem. Pookie XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD
Bah, I'm gonna continue looking for things to download. Bya, y'all.
BUT I HAVE UPDATED!

Ah, again, I'm writing this while I should be doing my work. Bugger, who the hell cares about 'graph alignment' and whatnot?
I should update my blog regularly, right? Baaaaaahhhhh...does anyone even check this? If they do, I'd like them to post a comment. Yes, I'm talking to YOU! Go clicky on the comment thing and post something to let me know that you exist and that you're reading this.
I don't expect you to keep commenting frequently or anything. I just want to know who my audience are, right now. Bah.
Bah. Humbug. What's a humbug?
I finished reading 'The Starthorn Tree' last night. I feel so...complete now. Woo-hoo, booyaka! Awesome book, awesome read, horrible ending. I'm sorry, Sophira, but I detest the ending.
In just one split second, the book ends. IT HAS NOTHING CONCLUSIVE ABOUT THE FUTURE! I like complete conclusions, thank you very much.
Of course, if Kate Forsyth would write a sequel, then I'd excuse the rushed ending. Man, I want a sequel to 'The Starthorn Tree'!!!
Durrik pwns you all. Ya rly.
I want to change the layout for this blog. I already have a design in mind, but I won't be able to work on it until after the holidays.
Why?
This Friday, I have a friggin' huge exam to take. It'll test whether my English and Maths are on par with the Australian standards.
Milords and miladies, a prayer request from me? Pray that I won't fail miserably! I mean, if I don't pass, I don't really mind actually. But I just don't want to fail too bad, so bad that it'll embarrass me and my family, ya know?
After that Friday, I'm going to finally have my REAL holiday. I'm going to go outside my house and run around screaming, "AKALALAALALALA!".
I'm going to stay far away from my laptop most of the time. I've been straining my eyes for the past two weeks, so I can now hardly see 5 feet away. Okay, it's not that bad. But my eyesight has seriously deteriorated.
Interestingly, I think that I'm getting long-sighted instead of short-sighted. Coooooool...well, no, not cool. But uniqqqquueee....
So:
Friday = huge exam, might go to Zoe's party plan thinggy
Saturday = relaxation! At least two hours of outdoors goodness. I'm gonna walk around Monterez with my mom...I don't think she'll mind walking with me. She usually likes those walks, but never takes them often because me and my sister won't go with her.
Later, I'll probably use the internet! Well, of course I will. But I think that I'm gonna spend an hour working on my story! WOO-HOO! Story updates galore!
Sunday = This day is gonna be a good day. At least, if it goes according to plan. Wake up, eat, stretch, maybe walk around outside for a while. And then...The Lord of the Rings marathon! WOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Oh man, it's been ages since I watched those shows! I mean, just thinking about those lovely films makes me wish Sunday would come quickly. REVIVE MY LOVE FOR ENDORENNA!
After watching, I'll probably work on my story again. I mean, after watching epic films, or reading excellent fantasy stories, I usually gain some inspiration. YEAH!
wait, wait, lemme plan Sunday out better. 3 LotR films. As I'm going to be watching the Special Extended Edition (yes, I'm bragging that I own them right now) for all three of them, it's gonna take a heck of a lot of hours!
...Oh my golly gutentag. It's gonna take me approximately over 11 hours to watch them all. Wow. Just wow.
Dude...if only I could watch it with someone else. That'll be fun. I mean, LotR is a treat on its own. But there's nothing like watching your favorite movie with your friend(s).
I feel so lonely. Oh well. LOTR FTW!
I might not watch all three films, I suppose. But I'm definitely going to watch 'The Fellowship of the Ring'. After that, I'll see whether I can stand watching 'The Two Towers' and then 'The Return of the King'.
You know, The Lord of the Rings is one of the few films that can make me cry. Heh heh. I mean, really cry. Usually, if a film has some sad part, I'd laugh. Don't ask me why, it's like a reflex of sorts.
But when I comes to The Lord of the Rings...I'm crying buckets. LotR is not a happy film. Whoever says it is should be shot.
Frodo, Gandalf, and the elves are leaving Middle-earth. The hobbits and the dwarves are fading. Only men are surviving and being prominent.
The Lord of the Rings is all about pain, grief, and sadness. But along with that, there's moral, hope, and most importantly, bonds. Friends, lovers, families, enemies.
When it all comes down to this, I'd just like everyone to know that you all mean a lot to me. You all pwn and rock in your own way.
I'm talking to everyone by the way. Even people I don't know. Because somehow, major or minor, something you did have just affected me in some way. Everything we do have some consequences of sorts. And it affects other people.
So, I'm gonna blame all of you when bad stuff happen to me.

Okay, yah, I'm writing this when I should be doing my work. But, pfft, I'm not keen on working.
I was reading today's newspaper. The earthquake. Gosh, the earthquake! 4,611 people died, and about 200,000 are homeless.
It's devastating. Ever since I started really reading the newspapers, I've became more grateful for my life.
To those who died, rest in peace. To those who are alive, live in peace. You don't know healing or redemption until you've felt pain.
I'm glad that Malaysia is helping out the victims and whatnot. Malaysia boleh, woohoo! According to the list, Malaysia has sent out some doctors and others, along with medicine and blankets and whatnot.
The US has also sent $2,500,000 I think. I'm typing all this from memory, so I'm probably wrong. But I do remember that they meant to give much less, like $500,000.
China, Canada, and Singapore also gave some aid. One thing that I was wondering about when I was reading that article was: 'WHERE THE HECK IS AUSTRALIA???'
No, really. Where the heck is Australia, and why aren't they doing anything? Pfft, disgraceful. Ya, rly.
Ah, Malaysia boleh, indeed.
There was another article in the newspaper regarding a widow. Her husband died, and she has three sons to take care of, and she's basically broke, etc.
Someone donated cash to her and pledged to support her children's education. AND he remained anonymous.
So, not only is he being generous, he's also being humble and modest. Isn't there some verse in the Bible that says that you shouldn't boast about the stuff you did? Something like that?
It's these cases of generosity and kindness that restores my faith in mankind. It really brings a smile on my face to see these kind of things. Big donations, small helping hands, whatever: it's just very comforting to know that there's still some chivalry and some good in this world.
Gotta keep the faith in good, people!
In all those pages in the newspapers, you can read of horrible things. Rape, kidnappings, murders, earthquakes, tsunami, hurricanes, death, you name it! But search carefully throughout the pages, and you can see some good: a kind and generous donor, countries lending a helping hand, friends celebrating the marriage of two, and sometimes there's an inspirational article.
It's like life, really. Don't look at the big picture: everything will clutter up and it'll look as if they're all fighting for some attention.
But look at the details, each little thing. There's hardwork and there's some emotions poured into each little thing.
When the world began, it began good. But time brings corruption, and that's what happened.
So instead of being good, the world turned evil and baaaaad. But if you look closely, not just at mankind in general, you can see friendly smiles, helping hands, and caring people.
Aye, 'tis a beautiful world if you perceive it to be. Have faith, and an observant eye.

Roanne <--- useless.
That pretty much sums up this entire post.
How am I useless? Well, if it isn't blatantly obvious to you, allow me to list it all.
1) This blog itself. What, do I even really post here? I never update the damn skin? Heck, no cool crap for you, the bored reader, to screw around with? Man, I suck.
2) Schoolwork. Damn you, algebra. May you burn in the everlasting flames of the underworld, alongside with lawyers, insurance agents, and that Malay punk who said that divorced women were "gatal".
On the other hand, I gotta thank the 'gatal' guy for something. He taught me a new Malay word. Whoop-dee-doo.
3) Laziness to even have fun. Gosh. I'm pathetic. I'm too lazy to even talk to anyone, or watch a movie, or whatever. I bet that I'm going to die from starvation. I'll probably die 10 feet away from my kitchen too.
4) Inability to learn something new. Piano? Pssht, play it later. Maya? Pssht, learn what the hell a NURB is later.
5) Stupidity to not do easy stuff that'll benefit me. Why am I always sick? Simple: I don't take care of myself. Ack. Serves me right, I guess. Nyum-nyum, to quote the bouncing Ancient.
6) My DAMN NOVEL. GOSH! Rawr.
Out of all these, #6 is the one that's bugging me right now. It's been a few days since I updated my novel. My updates are few and far inbetween.
Honestly, my novel depresses me. I love writing it, but all the technical details suck.
Writing is not easy. Repeat after me: writing is not easy. If you think it is, I advise you to write a novel with 50,000 words in one month. Hah, just try it!
I did attempt to do that, writing to the NaNoWriMo guidelines. Needless to say, I didn't finish it. Heck, I only got up to 2,000 words on the deadline.
Either way, I'm still writing that novel. Yay-may. Rawr.
And it sucks. Horrendously. Sometimes, I get scared to open the document because I'm afraid of what I might read. There are a few scenes that I'm quite pleased with, but with all the lameness that I see...eek.
What's bugging me right now is my novel's direction. Do I want it to be epic style? You know, something that's heavily fantasy, and with a sort of otherworldly elegance. Yes, like LotR.
My story is...fantasy/sci-fi. Yuck. Is that a good mix? A nice combo? Or is it destined to suck? Urgh. Burn.
...you know, now that I think of it, it's not really sci-fi. I mean, it isn't set in a medieval setting, but it's not actually that technologically advanced.
Hah, maybe I can scratch off the word 'sci-fi' then.
Erm, to return to the origin, I've been bitten by the epic bug. I now have the sudden urge to write fantastic stories of heroes and morals, or wars and worlds. In other words, I want to write like Tolkien, and make a LotR carbon copy. Hah.
But you know, just by watching LotR or Narnia or whatnot, I just want to create something as creative as that.
Wait. The keyword there is 'creative'. I should redefine creativity by myself, not follow some other person's footsteps!
Ah. I feel much better.
On a completely unrelated topic, I am exceedingly pissed off at my laptop's wireless. MUST YOU KEEP RESETTING AND DISCONNECTING? BURN!

ZOMG, LYK, I NOW HAV A BL0G!
Heh...blame Sophira.
Anyway, I have no idea what to type here...
I could act like an emo and post dumb, dramatic poems regarding how cruel life is.
Oh, cruel sun the shines in the sky!
That blinds my horrible eye!
Oh, how I suck!
Shut up, you duck!
...yeah, I can't rhyme to save my life.
I'm bored!
Oh, and it turns out I can go to Yvonne's Reunion thinggy. Thanks to FF7, I can't think about Reunion the same way...
Anyway, I made a deal with my mom. I could go to the Reunion as long as I sell my soul and my very livelihood.
Okay, so I'm being dramatic. But anyway, I can't go online on Monday and Tuesday. Instead, I have to focus on my Math for my stupid assessment test on Friday. Screw you, assessment test. Screw you, Australian Education.
Argh...man...I'm trading MY DARLING INTERNET TIME just to spend time with my friends. Dude, I'm desperate. Internet...I'm going to miss you.
Gosh. I'm crabby right now. Rawr. I need Internet. I need life. I need MORE HARDDRIVE SPACE, ZOMG! Only 4.09 GB left...I'm so dead.
How did it get so full? The worst thing is that I actually want everything in my laptop. I guess that means I'm going to have to burn them to a cd or something.
And my comp has been acting weird...one minute it's working perfectly, the speed is excellent, etc. The next, it's as slow as a dead turtle.
Grar...my sister is annoying. She whines about the dumbest things. Okay, maybe I'm just crabby right now. Which I am. Rawr...
Okay. Now I'm really pissed off. Laptop's keep jamming up every five seconds (I counted and recounted and checked a few times), and the modem has overheated, which means I have to go downstairs and reset it. And, a program that I was using jammed up. So I had to just end it...and lose all of my data. Rawr.
Rawr.
Rawr.
Rawr.
Goes the lion in the jungle.
Rawr.
On a completely unrelated note, I love Azureus, the BitTorrent client. It rocks. I swear. You can customize practically everything, and it shows you everything you need to know about what you're downloading. Plus, they have really cute smilies. :D
Anyway, Azureus truly rocks. Use it. I love it.
I was downloading a game on the -- OMG, OWWWWW! Sorry...my laptop let out some static. Heh...
Anyway, I was downloading a game with BitTorrent, the client. A few weeks, and it's stuck on 30%. I switched over to Azureus, started my download from 0%, and it's at 59.2% right now. All in just 2 days. By Jove, I love Azureus.
Whoa...total mood swing. At first, I was acting retarded (still am, really), and then crabby, and now peaceful. Man, I suck.
Ahh...I need a new layout. O_0
Okay, pre-made layout, or something I made? I'm kind of lazy, so I'll probably get a pre-made one...but then, I want to make my own.
Ah, whatever. Not like I can make one since I'm going to NOT BE ABLE TO USE THE INTERNET FOR A FEW DAYS!
My apologies, I'm rather spastic. Hmm...I feel like playing the piano. I figured out how to play a bit of 'Eyes On Me'. The song's really easy, actually.
But then, considering the fact that I suck at the piano and I can't play by ear, I think that's pretty good.
You know what song I really wanna play on the piano? Metal Gear Solid Main Theme. Man, I love that song. On the other hand, the song is better for multiple instruments and some techno blips...so...maybe it wouldn't sound so nice on the piano.
Bugger. ZOMG, THE PHONE IS RINGING! OMG, HANG UP! EEK! I hate phones!
Oh, it was for me.
Heh.
Erm, nothing much to say...I shall now go and disturb my sister. Woohoo.
Heh...blame Sophira.
Anyway, I have no idea what to type here...
I could act like an emo and post dumb, dramatic poems regarding how cruel life is.
Oh, cruel sun the shines in the sky!
That blinds my horrible eye!
Oh, how I suck!
Shut up, you duck!
...yeah, I can't rhyme to save my life.
I'm bored!
Oh, and it turns out I can go to Yvonne's Reunion thinggy. Thanks to FF7, I can't think about Reunion the same way...
Anyway, I made a deal with my mom. I could go to the Reunion as long as I sell my soul and my very livelihood.
Okay, so I'm being dramatic. But anyway, I can't go online on Monday and Tuesday. Instead, I have to focus on my Math for my stupid assessment test on Friday. Screw you, assessment test. Screw you, Australian Education.
