Inconsequential Musings

My my, it seems like a terribly long time since I've written one of these :/

And now, I don't really have anything interesting to write about. I was ready to write one of these yesterday evening, about jobs and job-finding and such, but it was too late so I went to bed. And now, I'm just not quite depressed enough :P Or angry enough.

Because normally I need to be in one of those 2 states to be able to write bloggish things :) I find the most entertaining form of blog is a rant, so I try to do those, but I'm feeling uncharacteristically mellow this evening, listening to a bit of Daniel Powter :)

While we're on the subject of music, may I recommend something? - of course I can, this is my blog, I can do what I want, it's a dictatorship :)

Please ignore the pinkness of it all.

Ooh ooh, The Lion King soundtrack just came on :) (8) HAKUNA MATATA!!!! (8)

Time for sleeps now, sorry this was so pointless :D

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

OK no, I want to rant now. >:(

PLASTICS. And I'm talking about the 'Means Girls' plastics. The horrendously, gruesomeness, offensively fake girls, who prance around with fake hair and fake eyes and orange skin. Etc.

Girls like Alice Chater.

-.-

I try not to name names, but she'll never see this, and if she does, I really don't care, I'm pretty sure she knows I hate her *innocent face*.

She posted videos of herself singing on YouTube. They've been deleted now :P

HA. HA. HA.

I don't deny that she can sing. She can. In a screechy, Mariah Carey kind of way.

I hate Mariah Carey.

And I don't know if she can act, but by the amount of clothing she wears, I'd say she didn't get where she is today on talent alone.

*unsheaths claws* :P

And what makes it worse? Is that she IS somewhere today. She does modelling, she's recording a CD, she has a VERY rich boyfriend (who admittedly fake tans, but it still nice to be bought stuff :P).

I really hope she is rejected by any kind of successful venture and ends up working as a secretary in some dingy accountants office, with no boyfriend and no friends.

I can hope.

I sound really jealous don't I? I probably am. But for the record, I deny it! :D

I also sound like an absolute bitch :/

MWAHAHAHAHAHAH

Meet the real me >:)

Nah I'm kidding :) I'm nice really :)

Sort of.

Peace out. *does peace sign in a gangsta way*

please stop breathing

ok, i love this song

but OMG! listen to his breathing!!!!! It's so annoying!!!!! D:

just thought i'd share this with you ^_^ i hope im not the only one who finds this annoying D:

en plus, Mario bent my friggin comic -.- *deathstare*

roses are red, violets are...violet

I saw someone with a massive bunch of red roses earlier. It was disgusting.

Any other day of the year, seeing someone with a bunch of red roses, obviously intended for the person for whom they mistake lust for love, would be a lovely occurrence. But today, on the 14th of February, it becomes merely a shallow gesture of conformism and shameless consumerism.

There are many reasons why I dislike Valentines day. I will list them. if you don't care...tough. Stop reading.

1) I don't believe in love *raw cynicism*. I believe in affection, but I don't think it lasts. Nothing in the animal kingdom mates for life. Not monkeys, not elephants, not even penguins, whatever you've heard (they mate for a few seasons at a time, but not for life). It doesn't work. We are creatures with a very low capacity for concentration, so we easily get bored of our partners. Every living creature is programmed to find a mate, but not for love. For sex. For reproduction. That is our purpose. LOTS AND LOTS OF SEX! (and unfortunately, babies :/)

2) If you 'love' someone, you shouldn't only show it on one day. End of.

3) What once was a simple celebration to appreciate your partner, has now, in the 20th/21st century, become an occasion fuelled by consumerism and society's expectations. You HAVE to buy a gift for your ...whatever...you HAVE to go to dinner...etc. I think if I ever have a boyfriend on Valentines day, I will purposefully ignore him from midnight to midnight. Just to make a point.

4) I knew someone in France called Valentine. I didn't like him very much. He was a bit of a dick.

And no. I'm not being all cynical and prune-y because I don't have a valentine, and am therefore wallowing in my pitiful existence with a tub of Ben and Jerry's and 'Titanic'.

I just really don't care.

Besides...I don't like Ben and Jerry's.

PS. I made an effort to use big intellectual words in the post, so it looked like my points were more valid. I hope it didn't go unnoticed.

the dress is finito

:D I've finished my dress for Elodies party. and by that, i mean, my mother did it for me XD my contribution was..'i think id like red with white spots...'

But other than my obvious lack of effort, it came out pretty well :P To justify myself, mother never seemed to want any help...and it was pretty simple...

Now I need to work out make-up...whats 50s make up like?? :/ ummm... *pulls out grease*

I can see this going terribly wrong....

Australia

So, I might be going to Australia at the end of the year XD

Only for a month though. My mother's friend's son lives over there and he runs this scheme for students to go and stay at his ranch for a month and work there :) earning their keep as it were :D

I really want to do it :)

Just thought I'd update you on that XD

and give you this : tis a very good song, but it makes me sleepy ^_^

also, the first comment is : 'if anne hathaway and kiera knightly had a daughter' AND I CAN SO SEE IT!!! o_o

FRIGGINPIRATESMAAAAN!!!!

OK, so, given my frustratable and quite frankly intolerant personality, i took it upon myself to watch probably the worst programme a person like me could watch: Most Annoying People 2010.

Yeah i know...big mistake...

Oh and guess who was on it?!?! The Smiths. No not the band. The family. As in Will Smith. Married to Jade Smith. With children, creatively named WILLow and JADEn. Yeah.

*rants*

(I thought I'd skip it, because, if you're reading this, no doubt you've already heard it.)

On a happier note, I watched a programme about pirates afterwards!!! :OOOOO I know!!! PIRATES!!! Twas exceedingly interesting, and I have decided what i want to do when I grow up :P

THEY HAD SWORDS!!!!!

SWORDS GODDAMMIT!!!

Recommendation: (these seem to be becoming a regular thing :P maybe I should start doing reviews...*looks pensive*

THE BIG BANG THEORY!!!

not only is it hilarious, but IT HAS REGULAR COMIC BOOK REFERENCES!!! Although, I only pick up on the Marvel references. DC is entirely inferior. I dont get the star trek references either....

http://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-big-bang-theory

PS. NEW ICON!!!! from a picture I took when I got my PURPLE HAIR!!!

for some reason i always sound much more excitable when I write these than in real life....

*fumes*

Right.

I just can't not write about this, I'm so annoyed!

And I bet you thought I was started the new year on a high note.

Well no.

Sorry.

I'm just too pissed off.

KENNETH TONG.

Until tonight, I had the happy fortune to have never heard of him before. But he seems to have been rather busy on Twitter lately.

BEING A DICKHEAD!

And by dickhead, I mean, he's well on his way to becoming my most hated person. And that's saying something.

He's disgusting.

But instead of merely hurling abuse at him, I should probably tell you why I want to hurl abuse at him.

Basically, dear old Kenny is running a campaign that 'to be skinny is to be perfect & to be fat is unacceptable'.

He's encouraging people to use his Size Zero Pills, to become what he believe's is perfection: size zero.

He says 'managing anorexia is a lifestyle.'

No.

Managing anorexia is AN ILLNESS!!!! A MENTAL. FUCKING. ILLNESS.

How can this guy even live with himself?!?!?!

*fumes*

I'm sorry Joe, I know you were happy that I had written a happy post, but...just...ARRGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm surprised my keyboard survived this rant...

2011 - Oh! What A Week! (8)

\\between two lungs it was released//\\the breath that passed from you to me//

\\louder than sirens, louder than bells//\\sweeter than heaven and hotter than hell//

nice little bit o' Florence ♥

It's the 7th of January 2011 and we are 1 week into the new year! A perfect time to see how it's going so far :)

New Year's eve was very fun, and New Years, when I spent most of the day watching Grace's parents take down their tree. I went bowling for the first time in probably 10 years (and lost, obviously) and then on the 5th it was back to school. And I'm already bored of it. And tired. *sad face* But it's nice to be able to see everyone everyday, I just wish I didn't have to do work while I was there. *is very lazy*

And that's where the happiness ends :(

BECAUSE ON MONDAY I HAVE MY FIRST EXAM!!!! :OOOOOOOO

To be fair, it's only Critical Thinking, but it still counts!

D:

so that's one I can add to my fail list.

I hope everyone has had a wonderful first week of 2011, and I hope you all have a wonderful second week XD

Have a recommendation ^_^

Resolutions and Reminiscing

I have given in to peer pressure and am writing a blog post. My first in 3 months (and a day) as someone delighted in telling me today.

So hello!

It's very nice to see you and I hope you be having a wonderful New Year.

This is normally the time of year when people look back on the the year before, reminiscing and such, and then make resolutions for the coming year, usually to do with weight and personal improvement.

I do not do either of these things.

I do not reminisce. Its not a principled thing, I just do really ever do it. I've moved around a lot in my life, and it always tends to have been around about the summer, so the new year has never really had much significance for me. My birthday is also in the summer. And school starts and finishes in the summer. New starts happen in the summer. End of.

But this year I thought I might try it. I thought 'hmm 2010 has been a very good year. I should look back on it with joy and wonder and appreciate all the good things i have been blessed with *happy face*'

yeahh...

then i heard myself.

what absolute cheesey shit.

And then of course everyone else started doing it. Facebook was full of it, Twitter was full of it, everyone i saw was like 'Happy New Year *overly cheery face*.

I felt like smashing something.

*is grumpy*

So that decided me, once and for all, that reminiscing is not for me.

So then I started looking forward, and thinking about news years resolutions. Resolutions are interesting things. You can tell a lot about someone by them. Because the best way to find out about someone, is to find out who they are striving to be. (I sound cheesey :/ I'll stop)

Anyway. I'm terrible at resolutions because i have no will power.

Whatsoever.

None.

So instead, I have decided to 1) try to have more willpower and stick at stuff and 2) to start doing things that i've always wanted to do (e.g. martial arts).

But we both know that neither of those will happen.

*negative vibes*

I will leave you with this out-of-date christmas video. it's cute. Watch it.

Blogasm

No ones blogging! :'(

So I will :)

This week's recommendations:

Artist: Mariana's Trench

Named after an ocean trench in the Pacific Ocean, this is the perfect band for geographers everywhere! They're Canadian, and they're very good :) Here are some examples:

their most famous song :

The song I was singing earlier today (with the epic video ^^):

Song: To The Sky (Owl City)

The soundtrack to the new owl-based blockbuster 'The Guardians of Ga'Hoole' that we've all heard of (right?).

TV Show: House M.D

Starring the quite frankly epic Hugh Laurie, House is the most popular TV show in the world. Laurie needs 24 hour protection when i walks around the US....but hands up if you knew who he was before this! *waves hand frantically*

Yeah, i didnt have anything to write about so...yeah.

Ax

TB (A Terrible Disease)

So.

Tony Blair has a book out.

Oh come on! You all knew this was coming! You just didn't know when I'd snap!

I was on amazon.com, peacefully minding my own business, browsing through the works of various esteemed intellectuals such as Stephen Hawking (who is actually a really good writer, with a very good sense of humour) and Stephen Fry (OK, you got me! I just searched the name Stephen :P) and what popped up in the recommendations? Yep you guessed it!: A beginners guide to Kama Sutra.

Not really. Although as we all know, Tony Blair and his toad of a wife don't need any of that to get it on! All they need is a Royal invitation! Honestly, he has no shame. I almost pity Gordon Brown for having to put up with him.

Almost.

Now, I can't pass judgement on it, because I've never read it, and I never plan to, and according to my own principles, I can't pass judgement on it :/

Then again, principles don't really apply for Tony Blair do they?...

Unatal

Unatal: relatively sane this one...an operation one undergoes that involves sticking a long tube into version places that should never EVER see the light of day.

You know what? I'm going to tweet these in future... cos these posts are stupidly short :/

Mismet

Now, I quite like this one ^^

Mismet: (1) to me, this sounds like a title (like sultan). 'I am the mismet of Saudi Arabia and i eat sheeps brains', for example. (2) Or a small animal, a bit like that weird thing in 'The Road To El Dorado'. A possum I think it was...called Marmaduke. The mismet i mean, not the possum. Although that might have been his name ^^

Docombil

I've decided I'm going to write a list of those word things i wrote about a few posts ago.

The latest one is 'docombil'.

Now, I'm going to come up with a definition of it :) I will do this for everyone that I have to type in to do something :)

Docombil: I searched it and google came up with a Japanese phone company called docomobile. I therefore conclude that docombil is a Japanese bill company, that specialises in animal's bills, for example, the duck-billed platypus. It sells them at very reasonable rates, and you don't have to pay for the first year!

HA! if you type animal bill into google it comes up with a picture of Bill Kaulitz cuddling a koala bear :P

Cooking

Cooking. It's surprisingly relaxing :) I hate cake, yet I have made 2 cakes this evening. A carrot cake, and an apple cake. Yummy :/

Luckily, during said cooking, I ranted at my mum, so you won't have to endure that this evening :P

I simply wanted to give you this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2Hwv1EbCkk&feature=channel

Tis, the second installment of the twilight thing I linked in the last post :) Yay XD

Popsicle

*Uncharacteristically cheery tone* So, hey guys! I haven't written a blog in a while! I've been trying to avoid it because I know that it'll end up like this:

'Heads up! The catholics are coming! AND THEY WANT YOUR BLOOD!! Hide your children and get out your pitchforks!!'

And don't you spellcheck me on how to spell catholics Mr. Internet! I refuse to give catholics a capital! It simply doesn't deserve one!!!

Apart from the obvious comments about that cardinal chap that called jolly old England a third world country, and that he compares Atheism to Nazism (when he himself, and the Pope, were both in Hitler Youth) I really have nothing of any intellectual value to say on the subject of the Pope's visit (other than they're both massive dicks!).

Luckily for you, most of my anger has already been vented on this subject, so if you are as equally irritated by this as my, here's a little something to cheer you up : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi9GPlsdD5o&feature=player_embedded#!

:D Hope you enjoyed that.

I did.

Hold up! I just found out that not only is this rape-condoning bastard visiting our country, while his mates spew out racial hatred, but we're footing the f*cking bill!!! (sorry about the language) And I say we in the general sense, as I don't pay taxes yet :P. But the principle is the same. To grant the pope a 'state visit' which means it's paid for by the government, and therefore, the taxpayers, is absolutely outrageous! There are hundreds of people in this country that have had their lives ruined by what priests in his order have done, but we have to pay for him to come here and rub it in their faces! Now, I'm not blaming the Pope for raping those people. It wasn't him (apparently), he wasn't Pope at the time and can't be held accountable for it.

However.

He was in charge of punishing those responsible and what did he do?!?!? He told them to pray. Pray for their victims. LIKE THAT'S GONNA DO ANY F*CKING GOOD!! 'Yeah I had my whole life ruined by my priest raping me. Yeah yeah, it scarred me for life. I lost all faith in god. But it's OK now, cause he's prayed for me :D' In no branch of society would this be acceptable! Certainly not in government! Imagine if your local MP was found guilty of raping a child. How long would he keep his job? And (hopefully) how long would he spend in jail? But, if their catholics, IT'S FINE!! Just say sorry!

And not only was their 'punishment' laughable, but they spent years covering it up! They knew about it!!!!! And they did not do a thing to stop it!

Right. Anger vented.

Spitfire!

Crap! I was all worked up just now! Had something really good to write about. And in the time it took me to press 'New Post' it disappeared...

As a side note, a spitfire is currently circling my house. I don't know what I've done, but apparently it merits sending out military aircraft...

Aha! I remember what it was!!! You know the security things that come up that tell you to write the letters you see in the box below? What are they called?

Anyway...WHY CAN'T THEY USE REAL WORDS?!?! The last one I did said 'ennesses'. WHAT IS THAT?!?! If you're going to force me to waste my life typing useless words into a useless box, at least make it something worth my time!!! A Sartre quote, an extract of French poetry, anything! At least then I may learn something while wasting my energy trying to work out what the meaningless scrawling in front of me says!! You never know, I could be inspired by a line of a John Lennon song and go on to become a philosopher or a resistance leader! BUT NO. You make me write ennesses. This will screw with my future, and ultimately I will blame you for my inevitable failures later in life.
