But what if she's a Zombie or A Dracula? Better hang on to this.

You can learn a lot about yourself from the Traffic Sources part of the stats feature on this blog. Apparently I am in the top 100 of Perth Western Australian twitters. By followers. Practically famous. (I'm number 55 - almost in top 50! ...although it probably just shows how un-technological Perth is coupled with the fact that no one exciting actually lives in Perth. But...for me - small victories!)

Also a lot of people who visit my blog are Russian, not sure what that says about me but whatever. I think it's because there are some Russian words in one of my blog posts maybe. I don't know how that works.
But talking about Russians, if anyone happened to be watching the Intel Extreme Masters World Championship in Hanover Germany (coz I was on Saturday night having a LoL party by myself YEAH I'M SO COOL!), the team that took out the top prize for the League of Legends part of the tournament were Moscow 5 who are in fact, Russian. They crushed Dignitas (who are from the US) so hard, to remain undefeated in the tournament. It was pretty amazing to watch, their level of team work is incredible and they played pretty flawless championship matches. Seven minute (I think) dragon and they did attempt a 22(? earlier than usual) minute Baron (although it was skillfully stolen by Dig but M5 was already so ahead it did not matter). So exciting to watch. I tried to watch them again but my computer can't handle the awesome (ie it wouldn't load the video for some unknown reason).
In fact here's the baron attempt and Dignitas steal at 22 minutes. And then M5 ace Dignitas (kill all five members of the opposing team so none of them remain alive) straight after. It starts at 2:10 but if you have no idea what the Intel Extreme Masters World Championship is like you can watch the rest of the video. I am assuming it's an edit of the finals of the Counter Strike 1.6 and Starcraft II tournaments as well as LoL since they were also at the Championship. I know nothing about Starcraft but geez it looks intense.


(Look how skinny and pale the Russians are 0.o)

My friend called me a nerd the other day because I knew that the people who linked chainmail together for the Lord of the Rings movies wore off the their fingerprints. (I am still a little skeptical about this to be honest but that's what they said on the extended edition DVD.)I think I have quite a normal level of nerdiness. Right? Right.

Looking through a Glass Onion

It's 2:15 am and naturally that means BLOG TIME!

I can't go to sleep so instead I am up observing the casual comings and goings of various social networking sites and the like. For example there are 6 of my friends online on Facebook right now. You can spell SMAKES with the first letters of their names. It's almost SNAKES, but not quite. Would've been more interesting if it was SNAKES. But oh well.

Also, more interestingly, Mick Jagger is a trending topic on twitter right now (along with #worldcup and #wewontlast) for the fact that, as far as I can work out, he went to a bunch of world cup games and the teams he was supporting lost and now Brazil hates him or something. Although it's not as interesting as when Lizzie McGuire was trending a few days a go. I think that was some marketing ploy by someone for something (I could probably be more vague there if you're wondering...).
As it is, if you click on the Mick Jagger trending topic and it comes up with all the related tweets you face two main choices, either to suddenly learn Portuguese, or to decide if you like hot women.
...I know which choice I'd make ;)

Right...I mean left!

Here's a question, if someone just randomly came up to you and inquired how your Hungry Jacks fries were would you think that was weird? I mean, what kind of person inquires someone who they have never met before over the age of 10 how satisfied they are with their HJs fries (on a scale from one to 10 where one is very dissatisfied and 10 is very satisfied)? I mean they're just chain fast food fries that people have everyday, nothing remarkable or new or unusual about them... I can think of three responses people would have on average 1) "Not salty enough/too salty
2) "Pretty shithouse actually"
3) "Um yeah they're ok..."
(Guess which one I went for!)
For those who may not live in Australia or New Zealand Hungry Jacks is like McDonalds, it's equivalent in the US, I believe, is Burger King, just in case you are confused.
Well I guess it's an icebreaker... of sorts.

I hope the last paragraph makes sense and you get the point I'm trying to get across. If not I understand, I'm not sure if it makes sense to me either. It's not a particularly life changing observation but I'm on holidays and don't have much to do except to (not) solve online riddles and make cupcakes.

Social experiment: Ask someone you've never met before how they are enjoying their standard fast food. See how they react. Write a blog about it, record a video of your experience, or even be creative and write some poetry or paint a picture.

LATER THAT DAY: Probably should edit and post this... I hope you enjoyed rambling of me at 2:15 - 3:00 am.
