happy halloween guys. We had a halloween party and i took a picture. Turns out emily hogg and i were the only people to dress up. thats a bit sad right.
do it
it's completely different if you listen to it while watching the video or not
aesop rock is an amazing rapper
(seriously, if you don't believe me but cbf listening [fair enough], press read more to see the lyrics and judge for yourself)
I found this add funny and also, Thai life insurance adds are REALLY sad. Also, in Jon's mist recent post, swap all of the "smells really bad" for "is really awesome" (it is how it was meant to be).
Also, I really like the Childish Gambino lyrics that are happening on the Hogg tumblr.
lets meet up tomorrow or sunday and do something? please? yeah? fuck man, I'm so bored let's go to dinner or something
edit: ffffuuuck nevermind shit happened if you guys do something interesting as a group lemme know but otherwise I'll see you later in the week for physics
Rice and chocolate. I had it for lunch and it was so delicious I had to tell somebody. I also had it with curry. It was nice because it created a richer and sweeter texture and it is true that chocolate is a valid ingredient in curry. It makes it very smooth and creates a depth in the dish as well. There is a reallly good fusion of flavours in the dish so I encourage you to try this out. Remember if you are going to make a curry chocolate dish, it works better with indian or malaysian curry other than a japanese or korean curry.
Sorry to post another Childish Gambino post, but he just posted the video that Jon posted on his blog http://www.iamdonald.com/ , he's totally looks at our blog!!!
Just a quick track from CG that I found (relating to Derrick Comedy's 'the Mystery Team' [which for those of you who are not in the know, was a movie he made with his youtube comedy group Derrick Comedy]), and I haven't downloaded it, so I don't think it's on any of his albums (so I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't heard it).
Just to let you know, Gambino doesn't do the 2nd verse (the higher part).
Also, in that photo is CG and Mos Def (who he references in 'Untouchable')
Edit: An explanation. It's pretty obvious what the video is about .
The latter half of the video is showing the perspective of the black haired girl towards sexuality and her situation. It is foreign, scary to her, and destroying her friends, but even her own body is undergoing transformations for sex. The end is showing that she will never see the world the same, not that she died. The large creature is like the realization of sex, hence its shape like female reproductive organs.
Aight, so CG's first proper album comes out on the 15th of November 2011. Just to let you know, that's like 3 days into Schoolies. So, I propose that we all (that's people who like him/ at least one other person with me) go and buy it from the nearest JB Hi Fi (which is 2.8km away from our hotel, which equals 35 mins according to Google Maps). I reckon I'll pre-order it and then the rest of Schoolies will be even AWESOMER!!!!
So that's my plan, laters (and good luck with Maths tomorrow for all you Math doers)!
Here's my credible source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_(album)
And here's one of his new songs from the album (it starts off a little slow but it gets good):
Aight, so, first of all, we are all done with english (unless any of you do english ext.)!!!!!! So that's awesome!!! And because that's awesome, here's a video (it was also my back up text for Dickinson yesterday)!!!!!
And here's an awesome song that I only just found out who it was by yesterday!!!
The video clip is really weird and reminds me of Mad Max (which I really like and is awesome - the top comment says Fallout 3).
And here's why we need to bring a frisbee to schoolies (maybe a B-Ball too) (I really like the "WOOOOOOAAAAHHHHH!!! that comes after each shot).
And here's why we need to get into longboarding.
I feel like maybe I should have said more to do with the HSC, but this is stuff I've liked listening to/watching and I wanted to share it and there isn't really all that much to say about the HSC other that what's been said (which is pretty much well done so far and good luck!!!).
So yeah, good luck guys and just remember, schoolies is only like 3 weeks away!!!!!!!!
I would like to say, after my 12 yrs of school, it has culminated in this.
And you know, if I could go back and do it again. I don't think I would change the last year at all. Not give up going out to study, no way. I would do the same thing & maybe that makes me ignorant and naive and maybe even a little bit stupid, but hey, HSC is HSC and this is life.
Good Luck Guys, from now til the end of the exams. And then SCHOOLIES!!! AWESOME HOLIDAY TIME!!!!
Let us go fourth for the final hurdle to our lives of freedom and revelation! It is impossible to turn back now - only to move straight and face the music. This is it. All of it.. whatever "all" may be... comes down to this. In high hopes and our lowest moments, let us go fourth and never look back! In preparedness and chaos, this is it! In ten years it will mean nothing, today it means everything! This is it friends! Do not be afraid to conquer! This is it!
Good Luck to all you Beautiful Bloggers and do your best from now on.
It is time for me to do some hardcore cramming so I won't be back on the computer. To prove to myself that I was being serious, I have 2 days worth of posts queued up on my tumblr so I shall see the internet, maybe tomorrow.
It begins now, i guess. What a good thought- its almost over. Finally, i can see some light headed my way, aint that right?
This is the long awaited speed bump that we've waited for 13 years. There will be plenty more when we are older, not a doubt, but for now-
its almost over.
I can't wait.
Goodluck to everyone. I hope the effort, whether it be minimal, substantial, or great; is enough to make your future's bright. You're all great people, and there isn't a thing in this world that will stop anyone of us from being awesome and important in life's roles.
so im going to school now and just thought i'd wish myself luck and pray to the internet gods for help, if any of y'all see this before 2:00 then wish me luck and pray as well (or don't pray, whatever) but yeh.... fuck my first real HSC exam. i'm shivering, but not with excitement, with FEAR.
Actually I sold my 1000D to my sister with an old itouch for $550 and then spent my christmas present on the other $300 to get a 600D
To put that in perspective, the 1000D is the lowest entry level camera.
Here is my analogy to reading
My first words - Disposable Camera
Picture books - Film Camera
Short Novels - Digital Camera
Young Adult - 1000D/1100D (entry level)
Adult Fiction - 550D/600D (top end entry level)
Epics, old novels, very long novels, - 60D/7D (Low professional level)
Books in other languages - 1D Mark I and Mark II. (Really damn expensive, like $4000)
So I am at the beginning of adult fiction.
It's actually exciting. Also it basically looks like the older one but I can film now and it has a flip out screen.
It looks like this:
Yeh so super happy.
Although I did manage to just go shopping while sitting at my desk. Kinda like online but with like people doing it for you.
Another personality quiz thing. This one's from Dungeons & Dragons, and tells you whether you're Chaotic, Neutral or Lawful (how much you believe in following the rule of law) and Good, Neutral or Evil (pretty self-explanitory.)
Neutral Good people are practical romantics. Which might sound like a contradiction in terms, and maybe it is. They don't care though. They know the world doesn't always make sense, and that you can't put all your faith in cut-&-dried definitions. A Neutral Good person generally takes the moderate position. Both security (order) and liberty (chaos) can be good things, but one isn't necessarily better than another. In some situations the law brings the most benefit, in other cases personal freedom is more desirable. It's all relative. Order and chaos are just theoretical constructs. They are means to an end, not ends in themselves. The greater good is just that :whatever brings the greatest amount of actual good to the world. People get too hung up on definitions. Many people believe "good" has a single concrete meaning, and anyone that disagrees with their interpretation is the bad guy. Good people fight each other over different shades of meaning, never understanding that the other guy is not all that different from them. Neutral Good seeks to avoid this, knowing that a real understanding of the world is only achieved by respecting human life, keeping an open mind, and seeking Truth in all things. In the words of Socrates,"There is only one good -- knowledge. And one evil -- ignorance."
So I was cleaning my room and I came my old photo frames and I decided I would put pictures in them. So you now all feature in them. IPhone won't let me upload a picture. Also I can across this folder of yr 11 and 12 memories and there are things like the theatre sports ticket and the bus ticket when we went to alex's house and the ticket from when we saw Harry potter 7. It all made me smile and I gotta say; I really love you guys no matter how much I get pissed at you and such. You are all amazing people.
In a Lambert/Jon style post. You should all watch Community, the new one is so good.
Also top 3 comments of this video; you'll get it after you watch the most recent episode.
There is one thing i have decided to do after every exam finshes. I'm going to throw away the book of every subject one by one straight into the trash can.
I mean, i will rip out the funny pages that have doodles and stuff in them (i.e my english book completely), and i will keep my future related stuff, like my japanese. However, boy oh boy i can't wait to shout sayonara to those other subjects >.<
And I realised. I just cannot remember everything I need to for the hsc. It is near impossible and there is so much. How the hell am I going to remember all this stuff in the exam? I just don't know anymore
So I was sitting in my room today and it started pelting down ad I chose this time to go and make some toast and I realised as I was waiting for it to toast, I really love like when you are sitting undercover on like a deck or something on like the first floor looking out at the rain, it is the nicest feeling. So I went and sat outside and ate my toast under a blanket and watched the rain. I dunno why I like it so much but I could actually do it for hours just sit and think and watch the rain. It's also the best time to talk to people because when it's silent you can just watch the rain and it isnt awkward or anything. like it's just a nice appreciate the weather silence. In summer I really enjoy sitting outside at night cause it's warm and sorta just comfortable and generally this happens when I am with my family and they are having a drink and there is such nice chat. When I was at my grandparents studying for trials I would always make 15 minutes just to do that like when my mum gets home now I sit and talk to her for 25 minutes just about my day and such. I dunno I just like talking to people about things and it generally doesnt have to be about anything important even a menial conversation about nothing in particular generally just makes me happy. Hence why I talk to people on Facebook because especially after a long school day or studying it just gives me the chance to talk to someone where i may not have had that chance before.
Sorry for any mistakes iPhone post. But yeh I like watching rain and chatting.
Today's topic is....... Procrastination. It has been a very hot topic recently as it is affecting everyone and if it is not affecting you, then you are a bit special. So for today, I have a poll.
My question is, what is the biggest procrastination device. is it:
1, Games 2, Youtubes 3, Facebook and other social networking sites 4, Blogging 5, any other internets (please specify) 6, the mirror in your room 7, music 8, The outside because the weather is so nice 9, Your friends 10, Other social activities 11, others(please specify) 12, You don't procrastinate
So on schoolies it will be the most lucky (supposedly) moment ever
as as 11:11pm on the 11/11/11!!!!!
Which if you have seconds is like 12 1s in a row and thus intense.
Yeh
(we will probably not realise at the time and have that, oh right like an hour later)
PS: best/weirdest list of things to do when you are bored ever.
http://www.cs.earlham.edu/~jimg/reading/bored.html
ALSO.
I confirmed what I heard via the school email (When finding email addresses of people) . Mr. Strange was demoted and replaced by Mr. Patulny as Head of English thought you might find it interesting
so i deleted my facebook. well i "deactivated" my facebook - partly because of the hsc, partly because of people i don't care for and partly because of the illuminati. and yet i still keep typing in the facebook url and i have to stop myself from logging in. when did i become so reliant on a website to make me feel like i'm a part of something? it's like an addiction really, and it kinda feels great to be off it. i don't know how long it will last and this blog will probably be like a nicotine patch but y'know, for now it feels good. i'm getting stuff done, like i made a really nice wallpaper for my desktop and cleaned up my room and its nice to not just sit there refreshing the page and etc etc y'know facebook junk. also guys... i'm having a really pensive night and i just wanted to say that i'm really happy to have grown closer to a lot of you this year, especially recently, because you are some of the most beautiful people i've met and i'm going to miss you all so so so much. especially emily hogg; i used to think you were kinda weird back in like y9/10 but then again i was super weird then too, so it means nothing really, but now i consider you a really good friend of mine and you're one of the kindest, most interesting people i've ever met. i think a lot of you mean a lot more to me than i ever realised really.
so like i was trying to type that thing you type when your speechless or something. You know, most people's look like this: afjgsagjsgfowjahdjaha
annie feng's looks like this: oqwoeowqoqoeowqoeowoqoqo
so usually when i type it, mine looks like this: f290yfe8dfq0qf0qqf83fnn44j9sk which makes no sense so i have to type it out manually. To create the best affect you usually have to use a,f,g,j,s letters right? so i was typing it out but in the end i looked up at the computer and it looked like this: asdlafagsfagsfagsjsjd
which says fags three times. so i couldnt type that.
And I went and looked the jellyfish up on google and got to Wikipedia.
It is pretty scary, but then I clicked on a link and it took me to largest organisms page.
And 2 things caught my eye.
1. Ocean Sunfish
They grow up to 4m long, but they look so weird. It's kinda like a turtle/fish/shark/piece of plastic in one.
Here is a picture:
Yeh and they only really keep them in captivity in Japan because they have very specific needs in terms of water and stuff. Apparently, they are quite a popular tourist attraction.
2. Continuing on the Jellyfish theme, a Box Jellyfish
There is an anti-venom for these but if stung badly, it can kill you in under 3 minutes, as the pain is so intense, people go into shock in the water.
Here is a picture,
They are at leat 5,500 recorded deaths from their stings in the last 120 years, from the Phillipines, Thailand, Vietnam and the Northern Coast of Australia (Like Cairns) but only 64 have occurred in Australia since 1883, thanks to medicine and good hospitals & roads, unlike other countries.
and yeh, they are pretty scary. Oh and they have 24 eyes.
Also fun fact, of the 10 most poisonous animals in the world, 6 of them live in and around Australia. My question is Why? Just wondering.
The Lion's Mane Jellyfish can grow to be eight-feet across, with some types growing tentacles to over 120-feet long, making them some of the longest living things on earth.
