Oh Rick :')

Hey hey hey,

It's been a while since my last blog post (so much for a once-a-week blog posts...)!

Anyway, I was on the phone last night to my boyfriend, and he was really reeeeeeaaaaaaaally sleepy - so sleepy, in fact, that he was falling asleep on the phone!
When he starts getting sleepy or isn't responding to what I'm saying on the phone, I start to just say random things that make no sense.

For example, last night I was talking about something and he didn't respond to any of my questions, so I started describing how fabulous he would look if he dressed up as a fairy princess and wore pretty dresses, makeup and skipped around the shopping centre for everyone to see.
Still no response from him.

So I decided I should wake him up so that I could say goodnight and let him go to sleep.

I said his name a few times (let's say his name is Gerald):
"Gerald..... Geeeerald..... GERALD..... GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERAAAAAAAALD!"

Still no response.

Then I remembered that alarms are the best way to wake myself up in the mornings, so why not wake him up using an alarm?

It was a good idea, until I remembered that I needed my phone to put on the alarm. My phone was in use, so that wouldn't work.

I was stuck for ideas. "How can I wake up Gerald to say goodnight to him so we can both go to sleep?"
I was lying in bed, trying to think what I could supplement for an alarm.
Then it dawned on me.... "What would Rick Astley do?"

Well, he would Rick-roll of course! >:D

So I did what every loving girlfriend would do: fast forward the song to the chorus, turn up the volume to the highest it will go, and play "Never Gonna Give You Up" right into the speaker of my phone.
Needless to say, it worked! :D

*********************************************************************************

Thus, my lesson to the world is that if you ever need to wake up someone who has fallen asleep whilst during a phone call with you, take my advice and RICK-ROLL THE HECK OUTTA THEM!!!!!
It works. ;)

Elephants vs Mice

Yo Blog-Homies ;D
(^for lack of a better greeting..)

Many great minds get their greatest ideas and epiphanies while in the shower, but how is one supposed to concentrate on pondering the meaning of life and the nature of the universe when there is a spider above them?!

I. Do. Not. Really. Like. Spiders. Very. Much. At. All.

Fact of the matter is that spiders are creepy. Super creepy. Like, Spiderman is awesome and badass, but spiders are just ... spiders.
And when I see a spider, I faint.

Just kidding, I don't faint (fun fact: I've only fainted once, and that was during grade 3 choir practise...it's a long story) but I do have a tendency to start making noises that - for some bizarre reason - I think will make it leave me alone. Such noises include: growling, hissing and snarling.
Because, all logic says that the more insane noises you make, the more likely it is that the spider will leave you alone. Right?

But what kind of poor creature deserves enduring 15 minutes of my random noises directed at it? Not even spiders, in all their creepiness, should have to have that kind of torture thrust upon them.
I must look pretty ridiculous too.

****************************

On another note, I had the most random dream last night - I can't even describe how weird it was! (But I'm going to try anyway ;D hehe)

So I can't remember exactly what happened in the beginning of the dream (except that I was walking through a market and I bought some herbs) but the part I remember the most is that I was just outside school by the lake. My school has a lake next to it which is pretty awesome.
And I have some amazingly talented friends -- who can ride bikes -- and they were in my dreams. They were all being fancy and riding around doing cool stuff, and they all knew I SUCK at riding bikes, so they managed to find a Segway-type vehicle and wanted me to try it. So I did. And I rocked.

Anyway, I was riding around being crazy and awesome on this Segway-thing, when I accidently leant too far forward and fell off it. I fell to the ground in slow-motion (not as awesomely as Neo) and as I made contact with the ground, I turned into a pink fluffy cartoon chicken. I kid you not ---> I WAS A CHICKEN!

I looked a little something like this (epic computer drawing skills):

I think it looks like a chicken hybrid of Pinky from Pacman ...

But then everyone was like, "Dee, why are you a chicken?"

Then I woke up.

If dreams are meant to be our sub-conscience telling us something, then I'm a bit worried ... Maybe I should stop eating worms? :P

****************************

Anyway, that's all from me for now. Exam week next week so I gotta cram haha.

Peace out!

Animals are cool too...

Bok my fellow bloggers or internet lovers!

(Bok means "hi", and no, I'm not fluent in chicken)

A few weeks ago I went this leadership seminar which was an amazing experience! I got to meet people from so many different schools and we mingled and exchanged phone numbers and hair products. 

(I'm joking about the last two)

But the highlight of the night was the dinner. 

Oh my goodness and what a dinner it was!

We got to eat in the host school's dining hall (BECAUSE IT HAS A DINING HALL WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!) and we sat in these long narrow tables. Dinner conversation was pre-determined by the hosts: "What opportunities do you have as a leader of your school?", "What legacy will you leave behind?", "'Leadership is fun' - debate." etc etc. 

So the people at my table briefly discussed this and then we just started talking about our plans for the future, the subjects we're going, what things we're looking forward to after college. 

But being me, I thought we'd talked about everything to do with school and the future, so I decided to break into my stash of "small talk" conversation starters. 

"What is your favourite animal?" was my chosen question.

Of course, this had 150% relevance to everything we had been learning about and discussing over the previous 3 hours ... So I guess it's no surprise that I was answered with shocked looks and wide eyes. 

The bulk of the conversation went as follows [key = i am the green text]:

"What?!" 

"What's your favourite animal?"

"That's the most random question I've ever been asked!"

"I know, I know, just answer it."

"Umm...... Umm....... Jeez I don't know..."

"Just pick an animal that you like."

"But it's not something I just think about all the time, you have to give me a while to think...."

I don't know about everyone else, but I often find myself thinking about my favourite animals. Is that too weird?

Anyway, some of the answers I got from my question were: chickens and whales. 

Cool. 

Oh, and by the way, it's probably not the best idea to tell your physics teacher that the reason why you're wearing a batman jumper is because you might need to call him to rescue you from her class. Oops.

I'm as red as a red tomato.

Aloha Bloggerinos :)

I am a tomato. Or rather, I blush like a red tomato.

Blushing is the physiological occurrence of temporary redness of the face as an emotional response.
(definition from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blush - because I do my research)
But for me, blushing is just a mega embarrassing occurrence in which I feel like putting a paper bag over my head. Is it really necessary to make my face completely rouge?

If someone says something slightly flirty to me, I go bright red.

If someone gives me a compliment, I go bright red.

If I sit too long in the sun, I go bright red.

There is just no winning!

21 Questions Game!

I am really bored and have the attention span of a gnat, so I Googled "21 Questions".
Apparently you're supposed to play this game with your partner ... well I'm single but I'm going to do it anyway
#breakingrulesftw

This is one of the lists that Yahoo Answers (funny - I Googled it and Yahoo appeared ... oh dear) came up:

1. What was your favourite Halloween costume and why?

Hmm ... my fav Halloween costume ... I've never really dressed up that much for Halloween, and I can't remember any costumes I've seen others dressed as (see, brain of a gnat) but I do remember one year my sister dressed up as a corpse bride. She was so cute in her little costume (she was about 7 years old at the time) and I did her makeup and she looked so freakishly adorable! She wasn't happy with the makeup, but I think it looked pretty close to a corpse bride :P

 2. If you could have dinner with any three people from any time, fictional or non-fictional, who would they be and why?

I was asked this question by a teacher recently, but I can't remember what my answer was....

Buuuuuut I guess I'd have to choose:

(a) Albert Einstein: he is one of the most amazing people of all time and I would love to meet him and listen to all the things he'd say. He is one of my role models and my hair is so crazy that I swear we must be distantly related.

(b) Channing Tatum: so I can perv on him all night ... I mean, err, I'm sure he has some very wise bits of knowledge too...

(c) People always say "Adolf Hitler, because he was so influential in time and he had a funny moustache.." However, I would very muchly prefer to have lunch with Dr Who because he IS the most influential person in time, in my opinion. I would have to have it with the Eleventh Doctor though because he's my favourite one.

 3. If you could be invisible, where would you go and what would you do?

I would probably just find some nice place to sit and spend my whole day watching people.

This sounds ridiculously stalker-ish, but I find human behaviour so interesting, and watching people when you're not invisible gets awkward because they really do think you're a stalker...

 4. If your life was turned into a movie, what actor would play you?

Pffft I can act .... yeah ..... seriously I can .... I promise .... yeah .....

 5. What made you laugh the hardest in your entire life?

When I was in a Friday afternoon double maths lesson with one of my friends earlier this year, and we were solving tricky derivative questions (I think...) and we kept getting the answers wrong. But as we continued to, he kept getting more and more frustrated. Class ended, but he was determined to finish this one question, so I waited for him. He was entering the last few digits into the calculator, pressed 'enter' then ... "Syntax Error". He leapt out of his seat as he yelled out a word I will not repeat, dropped his calculator and threw his pencil so hard at the desk that it rebounded and flew off somewhere. His face was bright red. It was just such a fantastic reaction after that maths lesson that I just couldn't stop laughing. I felt kind of bad for him, but it's ok because we got the right answer eventually :)

 6. What's your favourite childhood memory?

I tend to remember the traumatising childhood memories most ... particularly when I accidently flushed my favourite dummy down the toilet ... I was about three years old and the first thing I said was "Mummy get it?"

 7. If you were a waiter and a customer was being rude, would you spit in their food?

NO! If a customer was being rude I'd ask them to leave. I would never spit in someone's food, no matter how tempting. I don't like spitting.

 8. What is your deepest regret?

Being too afraid to try new things - things that would take me out of my comfort zone. I've always been one who over-evaluates the risks and then misses out on great opportunities.

 9. Have you ever dated someone from another race? Would you?

Yeah ... an alien.

Joking!! But I did date a Portuguese guy for over a year. I have nothing against other races, everyone should be given the opportunity to be themselves without being judged.

 10. What was your first date like?

It was totally awkward because I was 14 or 15 years old and my dad was really freaking out about it, so he made my mum come with us! We went to the movies: he and I sat at the back and my mum sat several rows and to one side in-front of us.

 11. What's the worst lie you ever told? Did you get caught?

I don't lie ... except in bed ;)

 12. If you suddenly found yourself turned into a woman, how would you spend your day?

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! ^I am a female lol. I would do what I normally do - clean the kitchen, iron and complain that I still had so much to do (I'm not even an adult and I already complain).

 13. How do you handle people you don't like?

I just either be polite but avoid much conversation, or just ignore them. Depends how much I don't like them :P

 14. Would you rather be smart and ugly or dumb and beautiful?

Can't I have the best of both?!

 15. Do you have a sexual fantasy no one else knows about?

LOLWUT?! Why did I pick these questions without reading them all O_O

Umm ... I don't really think about that stuff
#innocentchild

 16. What's the difference between sex and making love?

...

 17. If you could change the age at which you lost your virginity, would you? Would it be younger or older and why?

I ... don't ... think ... this ... is ... what ... the ... heck ... I ... don't ... even ... I ... haven't ... lost ... wtf?!

 18. What's the craziest place you ever had sex?

Seriously wondering why I picked these questions T_T

 19. Have you ever had sex with someone when you didn't really want to?

#dyingnow

 20. What turns you on? Turns you off?

A light switch ... didn't I tell you, I'm secretly a lamp.

 21. Have you ever cheated on your partner? Did this person ever find out, and if so, what happened?

No because I would never do that - and I hope that no one would ever do that to me either!

 

 

Well even though this was meant to be a bit of harmless fun to kill some time, even this blog post ended up being awkward. Well, I feel awkward now.

 

I don't even ... what ... I can't ... fathom ... what ... just ... happened?! O_O#

Meow meow, meow meow meow.

(That's cat for: Hi)


I love my cat. He is so cute and fluffy and cuddly and adorable. We have a love-hate relationship - I love him and he hates me!

But today, I noticed I have this strange habit of hugging him before I let him eat his dinner.

What I do is I put his food in his plastic cat-food-container thing, heat it up on high for 10 seconds in the microwave (if it's meat, if it's fish I don't heat it) then I put it near the front door for him. As he walks over to eat his food, I quickly pick him up and start smothering him with my love. He always looks extremely un-impressed with me when I do it. After I've hugged him for about 30 seconds and proclaimed my un-dying love for him, I put him down and let him eat his food. (By this stage, I'm pretty sure he's about ready to kill me.)

Is this weird?
Does anyone else do that??

I can't explain it; I just love my cat lol!

I'm a bit worried though that if I continue with this little dinner-routine, that one day I will become a crazy cat-lady ... Not that there's anything wrong with owning 52 cats that are allowed to do whatever they want as long as they stay in the house and leave me to my knitting, but I think I will pass ... :P
