The Oracle Prophecies

Currently reading last book of The Oracle Prophecies trilogy by Catherine Fisher, Day of the Scarab, and it's really good. Due tomorrow, so I have to finish it fast. I seem to be renewing my books all the time.

I seem to have lost the button to change the font colour. Hello button, I want you back.

Edit: I love Friends! The show. Funny. =D

=D

Matt is so cute!



He's twice my age, and I think he's cute. Cute like adorable cute.
(And like cute cute)

Oh well.

Birthday Blues

Hi I'm sixteen now and I realised some things that make me feel horrible. Content of these realisations are too classified to post, but suffice to say it was/is not a very good day. I mean, Racial Harmony Day was fun and all, with a lot of camwhoring going on (=)), but aside from that it kind of sucked.

Listening to my new Aqualung CD now, it's nice but not the same as older songs. More mainstream. But still good.

Thanks Sam Yee (not that you'll read this), for giving me two of the best presents I've received this year (and maybe even longer).

Okay this may sound weird, but I think Aqualung sounds a bit like Stereophonics. They're very different though.

I feel horriblehorriblehorrible. (Okay maybe not that bad, because you can't be completely unhappy with Aqualung and the second pack of twisties for the day) And you're not helping matters any.

Spoilers for Across the Nightingale Floor by Lian Hearn:
WHY. I had to suffer through this with Delaunay and Alcuin, and now it's Shigeru. CAN'T YOU GUYS JUST HAVE HAPPILY EVER AFTERS. Okay maybe it wouldn't be so fun, but still. Emotional trauma for the readers and all. And I see many, many parallels between this and Kushiel's Dart.

Takeo/ Phèdre- Protagonists of book, have special abilities. Both trained to be spies (in Takeo's case, an assassin too) Have encountered personal tragedies, aka going home to find people they love murdered. Inherit mentor's estate.

Anyway here are the parallels. Takeo/ Phèdre, Shigeru/ Delaunay, Kaede/ Joscelin, Kenji/ Cecelia+Melisande, Lady Maruyama/Prince Rolande. That's all I can think of. Can't find someone for Alcuin, but it might be Lady Maruyama. If only I were this obsessed with my lit texts.

Okay I wanted to put both Takeo and Phèdre were adopted by their mentors, but that means Delaunay would have adopted Alcuin too, and then he'd be sleeping with his son. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww. Anyway Delaunay never really officially adopted them.

Okay, I'm not feeling so horrible now. I'm still kind of angry at you, but that's another story for another day.

Edit- I love my section! Thanks guys! Listening to SYF recording of Da Pacem Domine, the band sounds fantastic, but I feel disgusted by my playing. Miss band.

Extra Ordinary Thing

Extra Ordinary Thing was stuck in my head today. Actually, a whole bunch of Aqualung songs took turns. But mostly Extra Ordinary Thing. Which is why my foolscap pad and random pages of my books are vandalised.

Not the point. My aunt came to my house today to give me my present! Memory Man and something else! I am dying to open it, but I have to refrain from doing so.

Further news, am playing for the fiesta on sunday! At the Botanical Gardens. Starts at 5 pm I think, feel free to come down and watch. =)

Aside from my Howl's Moving Castle dilemma (sp?), today's been a happy day. It's Friday the 13th after all. =)

Happy Friday the 13th!

Off to watch Heroes. =D

Warning

All right, I'm going to emo.

Sometimes I think I'm really stupid. Not intellectually (though sometimes I have my doubts), but I have absolutely zero people skills. I can't tell what other people think or feel, or what is appropriate when. Most times I mess things up and don't even realise what I've done. It's really horrible, because it's like everyone else is on some other wavelength, and you completely have no idea what's going on. And the worst thing is, they don't even have to try. It comes so naturally to them, but here I am, bumbling along and struggling to make sense of people in general. And obviously people aren't just going to give me straight answers, so what the hell am I supposed to do? I mean, I really don't think this is something that can be studied and learned. You're pretty much born with it. If you have some basic knowledge, then you probably could improve on it, but I have nothing to start with. Oh damn.

You know sometimes when you look at something on the surface it's really simple and easy to understand, but then if you try to analyse it any closer it just gets more confusing and you blow the whole thing way out of proportion. Like the word obviously up there. I think the spelling's right, but it looks wrong to me. I typed it unconsciously- obviously. Then I double check and think, maybe that's wrong. The letters look funny together. Ob-vious. Then I backspace like three times trying to come up with something that seems right, but I realise that the first one's probably right.

Okayyyyyyyy. Way out of proportion.

Brussels Sprouts

Sometimes I think life would be easier if I didn't have any friends.

But a whole lot more depressing too. I love my friends. =)

Pammie should be back today! (let me know when you are)

Am going to watch Harry Potter on Saturday. I like the books better than the movies. Heh. And I'd rather watch Transformers.

I really should be doing my homework or studying instead. Not, you know, lurking on the internet and blogging.

I love Friends! Funny show. =)

See you.

Everybody's Gonna Love Today

I love birthdays! You get presents and stuff. And you can buy stuff for yourself and not feel bad because it's a present for yourself. I don't know how I could ever have disowned my birthday. Heh.

So anyway, I got four CDs today! My parents got me Arctic Monkeys- Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, The Feeling- Twelve Stops And Home, Jack Johnson- In Between Dreams. I got Paolo Nutini- These Streets for myself. Really really really happy, because my aunt's getting me Aqualung- Memory Man too. That's five CDs altogether! Even if I can't open them yet. =DDDDDDDDDDDDDD

School tomorrow, another round of blahness. Okay, off to attempt to do homework.

Global Warming

EVERYONE PLEASE CUT DOWN ON YOUR CARBON DIOXIDE, CARBON MONOXIDE AND CFC EMMISIONS. Okay I haven't been paying attention in Chem. But anyway. IT'S FREAKING HOT HERE SOMEONE PLEASE TURN DOWN THE TEMPERATURE. Seriously. I just got out of the shower, walked downstairs to dump my clothes, walked up to my room, sat on my bed, and I was sweating.

I HATE THIS WEATHER.

I WANT SNOW PLEASE.

Random Thoughts; Random Person

Today was a sad, sad day. Some bad things happened, one thing in particular, but that was my fault. Snapped at some people, got snapped at in return. Am very tired of some things, and am kind of pissed at myself for not doing anything about it.

Ugh.

What do you say when you just don't understand?
