May contain traces of nuts.

"And as he drove on, the rainclouds dragged down the sky after him, for, though he did not know it, Rob McKenna was a Rain God. All he knew was that his working days were miserable and he had a succession of lousy holidays. All the clouds knew was that they loved him and wanted to be near him, to cherish him, and to water him."

from So Long and Thanks for All the Fish by Douglas Adams

For some reason I find that really endearing and cute. I mean, who wouldn't want big fluffy clouds to love them? Awww. Except you'd then get rained on all the time. But I'm just imagining these cartoonish fluffy white clouds holding hands (?), with smiley faces that don't have noses while raining on Rob McKenna.

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy triology is really a worth read. I've just finished reading the fourth one and am about to start the fifth book of the 'increasingly inaccurately named triology'. I've read the first four once before but never finished the fifth because I got distracted by a cute puppy that happened to be sitting by the side of the road in my house. It was quite a complicated series of events actually. But moving on...

Er... this is where the blog ends.

SPARKLERS! smiley face!

I miss you so much it hurts sometimes.

It's nearly the end of the year... I almost wrote world there for some reason. I just thought of an incredible tangent I could go on about linking the end of the world with the end of the year but I've decided to forgo the telling of that story as it probably would need a tree diagram, a link to a wikipedia article and a piece of very long string to explain. So instead I will just start a new paragraph.

It's nearly the end of the year and we are a few days until the starting of a new decade. The last time our calendar did this we were moving into a new millennium and so the whole decade thing was sort of forgot in favour of a bigger number with a more satisfactory number of zeroes. I was almost nine and had yet to discover the brilliance of Harry Potter because my narrow minded brain was filled of horses and not liking things Catherine liked and thinking Harry Potter was all hype (wtf eight-year old me?). Our teachers kept telling us that we were really lucky to live through a change in millennium, into the third millennium, our children, their children and even their children's children would not get the privilege of living through a historic event like this. I think at this point my classmates and I troubled ourselves with working out how many generations it would be until our relations experienced the fourth millennium. I recall thinking it seemed a bit stupid since there wasn't anything particularly remarkable about the next year than any other years previously except it happened to the the 2000th year in which someone decided to start a calendar because of a big event happening previously in time. And it caught on. In a big way.
At least we didn't have to be bothered with writing so many nines anymore.


Of course our teachers neglected to mention that 2001 was the Church's jubilee, something to do with it being 2000 years since Jesus was born which confused the heck out of everyone and the school painted a door no one had ever used in years purple, gold and silver and everyone paraded through the door waving banners with doves and crosses and such like on them. And there were more nuns present than usual and the amount of masses and liturgies we had increased. And the teachers once again told us;

"Aren't you lucky to live through this historic event, your children wont see a jubilee like this, nor your children's children..."

So, we as good Catholics, had two years of unique millenniums. And so the novelty kind of wore off. I'm not joking, it really did.

Of course moving back to the the secular millennium (a name which I just gave it but it's really kind of a lie), there was the y2k bug which I've pretty much forgotten about and wasn't concerned about at all. I think everyone's forgotten about it except my phone which if you press the wxyz, abc and then the jkl button the first entry is y2k. Huzzah! I bet you'll keep that information logged in your brain for a rainy day.

This is quite a long blog. Here's a quote from charlieissocoollike 's twitter:

"Glad you all like my new video :) I'm told that self-deprecation is one of my strong points. I still don't think I'm that great at it"

Hehe.

I put pictures in my blog posts so the Facebook thumbnail looks cool.

So... it seems we have reached this point once again dear friend(s). It seems I am blogging again. The first time in almost two months *gasp*. I have to say though I quite liked my last blog. It was about Stuart. Incase you didn't catch that when you read it.

Time has passed since my last blog. Obviously. Hmm I'm struggling a bit here aren't I? It's summer holidays now but there has been quite a bit of rain and not enough hot days.


Things I Have Learnt in the Past Few Weeks:


1. Don't let John Travolta go to the bathroom. Bad things happen when he leaves the room.
2. Dreams are more entertaining then real life. Until you get chased by people with machine guns.
3. Eric
4. They used mirrors in Star Trek.
5. Cider is quite nice.
6. Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey.
7. Given the right equipment it is actually quite easy to demolish a house.
8. E(XY)
9. It's amazing how entertaining a turtle eating a tomato is.
10. Number ten is the end of this list.

Isn't that some impressive knowledge? I know what you're thinking... why did she eat all the lettuce?


Bet you didn't expect me to say that! Wait... what?


Hey look it's Matthew Bellamy! I was watching the football and one of the players had the last name Bellamy. It made me happy inside.






P.S: Obscure references for the win.

This Blog is About Stu

Stu is my friend.

He sits next to me in Math1020. Sometimes. When he is there. If he still does the unit. When he's not sitting next to Jack. Or Emma. Or someone else.

He has curly hair.

He likes The Decemberists.

He has awesome sunglasses.

He is awesome (except when he makes fun of Muse which is quite a lot so really he's just kind of average =P).

He asked me to write a blog about him, I don't know if he'll remember.

BUT I DID.

I promise to write a longer more bloggish blog soon. =)

The Pressure to Come Up with a Witty and/or Clever and/or Profound Blog Post Title is enormous

Possibly in the order of magnitude of 10 to the power 8. No idea if that's an actual high pressure but whatever... it's slightly amusing all the same. In my mind.

So... BLOG POSTING TIME! I thought to myself yesterday, well Monday seems like a good time to write a blog, so let's wait til the morrow till I post a blog. And here we are, it's Monday and I almost forget to post a blog.

Before I talk about something... else, I would like to address my last blog and how shite it was. It's a disgrace to the blogging community and should be taken out the back and shot. I almost went back and deleted a few minutes after I posted it, but I'd already linked to it on facebook and it was so crap it wasn't worth the effort going back and carrying out the process of deleting it. In fact my friend who obviously occasionally glances at this blog even commented on it's shiteness, which I must say despite the negative nature of his comment it's quite nice to have someone read your blog. If only he had a blog I could read to repay this favour...

OH WAIT he does! (like the segue? it's was pretty epic) Alex, for that be his name, has started up a blog himself that hopefully will at least last another blog post. I Lied About the Monkeys is it's name. Sound familiar? The name, I believe, comes from THIS blog post by me. I am quite flattered actually, I'm glad he thought that particularly amusing, because I did too. What a coincidence, I link a completely different Alex in that very same blog post. HE never posts anymore.

I wonder if there ever will be time where the boys name Alex becomes a rare name simply because everyone will have stopped naming their child Alex due to the abundance of Alexs already in existence. Here's another question, how would you pronounce Alex backwards? As in Xela. Zeela I suppose? But Zeela isn't pronounced Alex backwards though which is slightly dissappointing.

Oh time for the HAARP screencap. I like this one, their guitars are pretty.

I don't even have a HAARP screen capture in this one. =(

So I was going to post a blog yesterday. But obviously I didn't. I just sort of lost enthusiasm for it. Unfortunately my blogs are usually a collection of words plucked from the obscurity of my brain. I don't think that make much sense actually but... I suppose... in a round about way... it sort of somes up what my blogs represent.

i JUST WHOOPS CAPS LOCK. Um, what was saying. Why am I listening to the killers? Change time. My iPod earphones broke the other day. Then the ones I bought for $2 broke about two days after I bought them. So now I'm listening to music from my iTunes using my USB headset that I got for Skyping and recording our lovely dead podcast that used to be popular. For a while.
I am rather hungry at the moment. Dinner is being made as I speak. I mean type.

My name is weird. I sometimes.... actually I think I'll terminate typing my thought process here. My last blog started with a random reference to Red Dwarf which I then EXPLAINED in a way that would only confuse any of my readers more so yeah... I'm going to stop...

Now.
