First off, I would like to apologise to my double Japanese class after what I said last post. As it turns out, I would much rather be awake for Jap than any other class.

Maths Methods sucks, especially given my teacher and the people in my class.

Chemisty is fun... sometimes. Only when we're not talking/learning about chem, and instead arguing over things like "Is golf a sport or a hobby?" (I still maintain that it's a hobby. If senile old people with arthritis can play, it's not a sport. That goes for lawn bowls to)

Literature actually almost put me to sleep. Turns out studying Under Milkwood (the play which I did for my Theatre Studies monologue last year) is alot more boring than I thought it would be. The revamped version we're listening to has the most expressionless voices actors, and despite my efforts to stay awake, I can feel myself slipping away to the world of dreams.

So, turns out the subject I though I would hate has become my favourite. I've even turned more egg (white on the outside, yellow (asian) in the middle). Watching anime, speaking in Japanese, eating sushi...

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

I thought I would explain my random outbursts of "THAT'S RIGHT!" and "MERRY TUESDAY", by linking this. It might clear up a few things.

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

So, "Heroes" is awesome. I despise shows like Lost (Polar bears on a tropical island. RAWR!) and Prison Break, but I'm actually enjoying Heroes. Channel 7 managed to actually buy the rights to a decent show! I want a murderous version of me inside a mirror.....

Apart from those fews things, not much to report. Rose's party had died down by the time I finished work and arrived, so it was dull. WoW has been full of noobs, and makes me wish there was some way to stab people in the face via the internet. School is boring, the only thing that keeps me sane it the thought of being able to get home and sleep/relax.

Will I enter the comatose state I so desire? Tune in next time to find out!

Ok, so, back to school. Yay....

Luckily, it's the final year, so it means that I only have to wait a short time before I can start missing classes and not have people bother to chase me up about it (damn you Marshall, and your crafty ways).

In other news, I recieved my new laptop. It's rather useful (including the wireless network that was set up), apart from the fact that it doesn't have Microsoft Office (just MS Works. Notepad, bleh.) or a decent virus-scanner and firewall (McAfee spams me with 'critical update' messages every 30 mins, but then tells me I have to register to be able to download them. Unfortunately, I don't know what version of McAfee I'm using, and can't find anything which tells me. Damn them!). The best part of the laptop is I can leave it to download during the day (when I'm at school/work) or at night (when I'm asleep). It gives me so much opportunity to make use of our large download limit (2.6gb of anime downloaded in 2 days, and much more to come soon, when I can think of more things to download)

This Saturday is Rose's 16th (there, happy now?) (in a masquerade theme). I'm looking forward to it, because it gives me a valid excuse to wear a mask, other than to be wierd. Although it's no alcohol, which takes the fun out of things.

Apart from that, my holidays hasn't been spent doing much. Working, playing WoW, and not sleeping (Out of the entire 168 hours of last week, probably only 42 of those were spent sleeping, and average of 6 hours per night). Instead, I'm planning on putting my education to good use, and sleep through class. What better way to pass double Japanese?

When I can find the time (and energy), I'll post some of the things that have been keeping me entertained over the pasts few weeks. Till then, help me in my fight against world stupidity by killing a supermodel/movie star/clothing store clerk/emo/politician/sportsman. Do it. You know you want to.

I decided it's time to drag my ass away from World of Warcraft and make a post. So here it is:

That's all.



But seriously (well, not that serious), everyone should check out http://www.weebls-stuff.com/
It's full of random crap. THAT'S RIGHT!

Also Nick, you can't speak German. Stop trying, before you say something and Matt points out all the flaws you made.

Two posts in one day! But I'm bored, so whatever.

So, I took the Five Factor Personality Test. Amazingly, for an internet quiz/test, it was pretty accurate:

***Your Five Factor Personality Profile***

Extroversion:

You have medium extroversion.
You're not the life of the party, but you do show up for the party.
Sometimes you are full of energy and open to new social experiences.
But you also need to hibernate and enjoy your "down time."

Conscientiousness:

You have medium conscientiousness.
You're generally good at balancing work and play.
When you need to buckle down, you can usually get tasks done.
But you've been known to goof off when you know you can get away with it.

Agreeableness:

You have low agreeableness.
Your self interest comes first, and others come later, if at all.
In general, you feel that people are not to be trusted.
And you're skeptical that anyone else really feels differently.

Neuroticism:

You have medium neuroticism.
You're generally cool and collected, but sometimes you do panic.
Little worries or problems can consume you, draining your energy.
Your life is pretty smooth, but there's a few emotional bumps you'd like to get rid of.

Openness to experience:

Your openness to new experiences is high.
In life, you tend to be an early adopter of all new things and ideas.
You'll try almost anything interesting, and you're constantly pushing your own limits.
A great connoisseir of art and beauty, you can find the positive side of almost anything.

Most of it was true. Especially Extroversion. Hint, peoples: If I'm on MSN, I'm happy to talk. If I'm not on MSN, DON'T TRY TO TALK TO ME! I'm surrounding myself in solitude. And no, that doesn't mean I've disappeared off the face of the earth.

On to other matters, I've decided working on the 24th of December is fun. Not only was *everyone* from the store working, but there was hardly any customers. I got paid for 4 hours work when, in reality, the most productive thing I did was take down tinsel. Which I highly enjoyed, as I was discussing with my supervisor how commercial Christmas is. Fun times had by all.

Over and out. Probably more to come in a few days, once the family commitments pass.

So, Consumeristmas is tomorrow. A time for buying and recieveing presents, racing around shopping centres and forgetting the real reason for this holiday: to celebrate the birth of Christ (also Kong's birthday, but he's not Jesus, just a panda). However, it has made for some fun times at work, as almost every employee has been rostered on to work, even though there really isn't that much more to do. I've lost count of how many times I've said "Have a Merry Christmas!", and I'm sure that I'm soon going to slip and say "Enjoy your Consumeristmas. How much money have you spent already?". Seriously, some people have spent more than $200 on food alone. Pure insanity, I say.

I went to see Casino Royale the other day. The new James Bond was good, I thought, even though the movie did drag on for quite a while (just as I thought the movie was about to finish, "oh noes!", another villain, another chase). I'm tempted to rent out the original version now, to compare the two. And the chick was hot, with an awesome attitude (sarcasm is the bestest).

Can't really think of anything else to say, except: Peoples, go on MSN, dammit! I need to discuss plans for the holidays, but can't, because you're never on! Christiaan, I'm looking at you! (I'd suggest you feign death now or suffer my wrath). Seriously, if you do read this at all, or anyone else who has signs that he is still alive, let him know that I'm free on New Year's, and able to get absolutely comatose.

Lastly, hooray for the smoke clearing. It's been a week that's made me even more reluctant to go outside, considering it was impossible to see more than 50 metres. Let's hope it stays cloudly and raining, because that's the way (uh huh, uh huh) I like it.

And no, Luke, I don't know what to get your Dad for Christmas. Just get him a gift voucher for Southland, like I normally do when I can't think of something (why buy something they'll hate, when they can go out and buy something they want).

Ok, so, I've almost finished Kingdom Hearts II already. Pretty disappointing. Alot of the game seems like it was only included to further the storyline (there's more cutscenes than anything else).

Apart from that, not much to report. Now that I have the money I was going to order a laptop over the internet, only to discover that the site only delivers to the US. Now I have to hunt around for a decent one. *sigh*

If anyone has a some (by some, I mean alot of) time to kill, visit this place. It's a series of computer knowledge based puzzles. See if you can be like the 143 other people, out of 10 million who have visited the site, and solve the final puzzle.

So, I got my VCE results back today (well, if you want to get technical, I had to go and look them up, so they didn't really "come back"). 39 raw score for French, which gets scaled to about 48 out of 50. Damn happy with that. Theatre Studies didn't go so well, a 32 raw. I'm not sre about the scaling of that, but I think it goes up only a few marks. Meh, I was kind of expecting it anyway, considering I liked the subject but didn't put much work in.

In other news, here's some links. A cookie if you guess the references:

http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=194 (this one appeals to me because, on my first playthrough of KH2, I realised that Atlantica is in fact like what is depicted. It seems that of late Square-Enix are trying to stuff as many mini-games into their releases as possible. I mean, half of KH2 is mini-games, FF7 had its share, and FFX-2 was a complete waste of time. Gambling and dress-up dolls. Yay!)

Lastly is this one: http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=204 It's funny because, well, that's how the fanboys reacted...
