On Slag a.k.a Karly.

Yiri: isn't she a lovely positive girl

Me: Yeah.

Me: Well at least she never beats around the bush.

Yiri: No, she tends to drive straight through it.

Me: With double machetes.

Yiri: Flaming machetes of rape.

"An idea.

And for that brief moment where it’s all flaring and welding together, you are Holy. You can’t be touched. Something impossible and brilliant has happened and suddenly you understand what it would be like if Einstein’s brain was placed into the body of a young tyrannosaur, stuffed full of amphetamines and suffused with Sex Radiation.

That is what has happened to me tonight. I am beaming Sex Rays across the world and my brain is all lit up with Holy Fire. If I felt like it, I could shag a million nuns and destroy their faith in Christ."

destroy their faith in Christ

Fucking A.

I have nothing else I want to talk about so a recapitulation it is.

I had a great four day weekend.

Friday: Jo came over for the day (for those LJ dwellers who don't know, she is my girlfriend) and then I proceeded to meet my friends at Bankstown Centro to raid the trendy stores and dress like a fluorescent-fag ready to bop to Muscles. Followed by Nick's 19th, awesome fun and there was shenanigans held the park which I was all too happy to be a part of. Once I start running around I get a bit hyper.

Saturday: I woke up at 7:30 and shuffled off to Cardio. As soon as that had finished I had a shower and went to Luna Park for Come Together with Albert (whose many friends I happened to meet along the way). A 12 hour festival of indie-faggotry. Faker, Dappled Cities and The Seabellies were the most impressive. I also bought a Dappled T-shirt and met most of the members of Dappled. The whole day was just generally fantastic and as such, even though she will most likely never read this, I must thank Jo profusely for buying me that ticket.

Sunday: Got to sleep at 1:30 AM woke up at 1 pm and then was on the internet until 1 AM again.

Monday: Went over to Jim's to sort out my Modern History stuff and the hung around at Harry's before going out to lunch. Here I found the DnD crowd and one xony_kookie  who looked in her element. Then I went and had lunch with Jo, Doug, Raph and nyx_panda , and Jo came back to mine for a bit before I went to Kung Fu. I am looking forward to more sparring on Thursday.

Anywho, that was my long weekend, and well deserved I think, after a week of exams.

This song makes me happy every time.

The sun is up,
I'm so happy I could scream,
and there's nowhere else in the world I'd rather be.
here with you it's perfect,
it's all I ever wanted.
I almost can't believe that it's for real.

Don't you find it funny when you have a really, really vivid dream that is realistic yet improbable and at the time you believe it  unerringly? I mean a universe so similar to ours with just a few profound changes. It is also interesting to think about the dream and see how it reflects your experiences, associations, state of mind and desires.

I had one of those dreams today. And I would have been far happier to stay in it. Of course it is far, far, far too incriminating for me to go into detail. Rest assured I am still contented by the dream even if it will most likely never happen.

So young, so innocent, so naive. When I was a kid I didn't actually want to be anything. It wasn't until my pre-pubescent years that I aspired to take a certain direction in my life; I wanted to be an inventor, an engineer who would revolutionise! Of course that didn't take into account my complete hopelessness at Maths and Science. I think it appealed more to my sense of fantasy and vivid imagination than anything else.

Then I wanted to be a writer, a perfectly acceptable vocation considering where my skills lie: English. But while I do have some aptitude for the English language and for concepts, I have never really pushed myself to write a large story, in fact I doubt my capacity for it. That, and unless you are incredibly good it is extremely hard to crack the market as a new writer.

Hence I floated around for a few year, having no idea what my career path might be, just hoping for a large enough UAI for a BA, which, no doubt, would be fun. Then it occured to me, why not take the aspects of writing that I was good at and apply it elsewhere? Editing. So now I actually have a UAI target, 88.5, and my life seems to have some more direction. Now all I need to do is actually get that UAI.

I have been avoiding doing the hard work by doing the fun work. Unfortunately that is going to some to an end; the fun work was writing my journeys story and writing my extension 2. The journey story only had to be 1500 so I knocked that over last night, But more impressively I finished my first draft of my extension 2!!!! It is a radio play and is 9 pages long. I know, I know not long but it is a max of 15 minutes. Either way only a few more revisions and re-writes and I can record it. Well that means I can't do that anymore.

Goddamn.

I have to do my history notes and essays and my extension 1 stuff (postmodernism) and notes for PD/H/PE. Fuck knuckle.

I noticed that a few posts back I talked about not having confidence about looking after myself. I found a remedy for it, go travelling with people. See that way if I screw up either we are all in the same situation or one of the others pulls us out. As such I am going to go to Japan hopefully at the end of the year. Awesome. Geekery and culture shock will abound.

I slept for 3 hours this afternoon, instead of doing schoolwork. Oh dear. Seems like I like digging holes for myself.

P.S.

Karly is awesome. I shall make a shrine to her and sacrifice lots of liver to it. In fact I shall leave my liver to her in my will.

Thats right, I'm back from beyond the grave, I shall try to maintain my little internet kingdom, but I am not going to commit to anything now because I have no faith in my ability to regularly update.

I played a pen and paper RPG yesterday. Yep, I'm that cool. Not only was it an RPG, but it was an RPG based on Avatar: The Last Airbender. I am so proud of my geekiness. It went well and we played with a majority of females. In an RPG. GAH.

I then followed RPG with going to Mardi Gras, I didn't get very dressed up but I did have Shona's purple top hat, that made me look like Willy Wonka. I got rather pissed on Margarita's and Tequila. My memory is a little bit hazy but I do remeber the parade was awesome. I'd also like to thank Amanda for leading the way to the Church on Flinders. Certainly without her we would be lying twitching in the gutter somewhere on Oxford St. I do remeber this though, I was getting drunk, watching a gay rights parade and dancing on Church grounds: I remember thinking 'Mmmm sacralicious.' Fantastic.

Fare thee well, citizens of Internetopia.

Went to the Gotye concert on Sunday. That was le awesome. There was a huge wait though, and the support act was average, but it was worth it, becuase it was amazing. not particularly danceable, but definitely rhythmic. I bought a t-shirt and Peter bought a CD, so it was well worth the 30 bucks I thought.

And then on friday I'm going to see Arctic Monkeys *drools*. It's going to be fantastic. I will be in the middle of a huge mosh pit being thrown around by all the dancers and I wont care i'll just be screaming out lyrics at the top of my lungs and be seriously content. It should be worth the 72 bucks I think.

What else. My workload is piling up, and getting harder and harder to ignore. But never fear! I'm managing to ignore it! Got rejected for Ext 2 english, which peeved me a bit, but i'll appeal and hopefully get in.

Sorry I promised something good and all you got was mundanity. Obscurity and ambiguity will abound next time!

I'm kinda good at English and History (this was going to be in my bio, but I realised it was more journal-ish)but don't really have any clue what I'd want to do in Uni. I'm really looking forward to that group trip to the beach house, along with the copious amounts of alcohol.

I was thinking of having a gap year and going overseas but I really don't think I'd be able to survive, I'm really hopeless, I lack common sense, I'm lazy and most definitely can't look after myself properly. So maybe I wont do that.

So yeah, that's my future in considerable doubt. On the plus side it will make it more exciting.

Sorry to whoever I tricked into reading this, if you can be bothered it reading again, I swear it will be more interesting.
