On Roses.

Time: 12:00PM Sunday 9 May
Hiya. So, it is Mother's Day. And...yeah. My mum was happy with the magazine and the Lucky Bamboo I got her.
It is a very wet day here. As I type, in two seconds it has gone from no rain, to a heavy din. Just like that. Even now it is subsiding..only to rise up again. I love the sound of rain on a tin roof. It is one of the, most enjoyable and relaxing sounds. I love it.
There are precious moments and precious places in time for everyone. One of my most notable is lying in bed listening to rain. The other is standing in front of the fire very late [or very early, depending on your POV] just listening. Like, at 3 in the morning or something, if I wake up...I can just stand in the Lounge Room, in front of the fire and...soak it up. I can't relate to anything you may or may not have done, but we have a real wood fire, and it is glorious. Listening to it crackle, and getting all nice and toasty, and it is just so calm. Nothing can invade those peaceful moments, and everyone should have some...and try to hold onto them. We can't keep everything forever...but we can try. My mum read a quote this morning.
"We can complain that the rose bushes have thorns, or we can celebrate that the thorn bushes have roses". Thats by Abraham Lincoln. And I think it is a really great quote.
People will complain...and sometimes life just isn't fair, always sticking you with thorns. But in the end, the precious moments are to be marvelled at, and they ease the pain of the thorns.
Behold the roses, savour their scent, marvel at them, for they are few and far between.
Edit: I am on the first page. Woohoo.
Go visit Radaghast and give him some visits. ^_^. Also visit Panda because you should.

Hhmmm. I was going to submit a piece to Panda's WTF picture thing, but I can not find the one I was after. Damnit. I posted it up on OB this one time, so I'll just do a little search.
Edit: Found it!
What to say? Hhhmm.
Mimmi: Something is up. I don't know what, but go over there and show her your support if you haven't already. She is a genuinely great person.
Now..should I give you a rundown of an average day for me?
Bleh. may as well.
OK, I wake up at 6:00AM. I generally get up and do my situps and crunches for about 15 mins, before hopping on the computer to do either a) Homework or b) A game. For the last few days, that game has been Imperialism II. I then get off around 6:50 and make my lunch. Around 7:05 I go in to wake up my mum, and then have my breakfast which is 3 Vitabrits [like Weetbix] with sugar. At 7:15 I brush my teeth, and go feed the rat/the dog and at 7:25 I come into my room, boot my computer up and put my music on. I then proceed to make my bed, and get dressed. I then sit around from 7:40 to 7:50, listening to my music, when I leave the house for a four minute walk to the school bus place. Then I do whatever at school, and come home where I have no set routine.
I do more situps and stuff, dinner, shower, whatever I have to do that day. And that is pretty well much it.
Sorry about the lack of real cointent these past few days. I just have been rather empty. As Panda has put it, everyone seems to have the "blah's". Really strange.
Anyway, nobody has told me what they think of my new layout! I am deeply hurt! Surely you had to of noticed!
Anyway, I am also going to make myself a new avatar for it. Hagar is going, for now. Probably for a while too. I just need something new I feel. Well, it is 8:22 now and I need to be gone at 8:30, so I'll have to make my avatar quickly...

Oh, I am sooo lazy. So, here is a joke and a quiz. :p.
A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack.
"Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday."
Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name.
The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager.
Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral.
The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office.
She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral." She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?
The bank manager looks back at her and says...
"It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."
Good stuff. ^_^ I loved that.

On my mind...
Comment |

Time: 4:51PM, Thursday 6th May
Well. I had this while big outpouring of my emotions and my feelings at the moment planned…but it is impossible. I am…in a very strange mood today, and would love to just get it all out. But…it is blocked, because of the keyboard and the necessity that that entails – typing it all out. If they had mind to computer transfer, I’d be set but it is a daunting task to write it up. So, you don’t get that.
What you do get though is further apologies over my away-ness, and some excuses and things about that I have.
Lately I have been very…distanced from OB. Books, homework online time and my general attitude have been keeping from it. Oh, sure I am around it. I visit it almost every day. I mostly make comments on myO’s, however lame they might be [the comments]. However, whilst I am on OB, I don’t believe that I have posted for a few days, especially in the OL. I mean, there are some really interesting topics there, but despite the fact that I want to post in there, I have a very… blasé attitude towards it. Like, who cares? Does anyone really care if I comment or not? I think that there are probably a very few people who would care and/or miss me if I upped and left…but honestly, I don’t think my OB presence is worth anything. I am barely there. I find myself wondering exactly why I am on the Boards still…what is keeping me visiting. A sense of duty? PM’s? Interest? I don’t know.
I think that mO is a great and wonderful thing, however I feel it has definitely…detracted [for me] from OB, somewhat. I feel that I am drifting form OB, and just from…well, everything. I don’t feel any sort of purpose, be it online or IRL. I don’t know where I am headed. Drifting, indefinite. Not a very fun or nice feeling. I don’t know what I want to say or do, I find myself kind of lonely. And I wonder does anyone care?
I sit on the bus, and I look at the other people around me. There are some groups chatting, the guys up the back mucking around, and the people who sit on their own, staring out the windows. And I wonder what they f eel. What they all feel. I sit on my own, generally, though I occasionally sit with others and chat. But… sometimes I just feel empty and pointless. Does anybody care about me? Who cares about them? Does anybody really care?
Everyone belongs to themselves, and do we really look outside of the bubble?
Bleh. I don’t know what I am saying even. Blame it on my odd attitude at the moment. I just worry that I have no purpose or point in my life, and that I am drifting uselessly. That I should have goals, that I should care, but sometimes I just feel like “Meh, so what?”. I am non-committal.
What else is there to say? School is decent, homework is plentiful, love life has disappeared. No flirting anywhere.
Life is pretty well much solidly disappointing. I know there are worse lives out there, but there are waaay better ones too.
Edit: A new layout. Very cool, I think. I will probably set up a buttons page later on, sometime...

Well...I have been having a little bit of a problem with the post styles thing. It seems to have screwed up some of my posts...which bites. In general though, v2 changes seem pretty cool.
Sorry I haven't really been updating...things just overtake me. I did maths homework yesterday in a free period at school, and then did a SOSE oral for today last night. I have been uber busy, and yeah. Plus, Across the Nightingale Floor is really absorbing, and I find myself reading it a lot in my free periods.
I haven't been doing much at all, except for homework. I think this will only be a short update because I have nothing to say. I'll mess around with the post styles thing, and if I can't get it to sort itself out, I'll just put my coding back into individual posts.
EDIT: Fixed. I missed some coding in my font sizes ^_^.
Mood: Something.

I am getting horrendous with updating this place. =\. Very sorry. Everything seems to be conspiring against me though, and when I get online, after a bit of time something called the "LSA Shell Exporter" has to close down, and then my computer has to restart and it really F***S ME OFF!!! AARRRRRRGGGH!!!
Heh. School, and reading, and procrastination and homework and it all just gets me down. I still enjoy school, but it gets very annoying. I should try to keep this place more up to date, but sometimes things to talk about just elude me. What have I been doing?
Well, on the weekend I played hockey, did homework, spent about two hours outside doing work... just your general laid back kind of weekend. Aside from the LSA Shell thing yesterday which meant I couldn't be online. So, I played my [new] Rainbow Six: Black Thorn game. Very fun, very cool. I love the Rainbow Six games...they are so much fun and really well done.
Also, as of this morning I started reading "Across the Nightingale Floor" and I am up to page 57, after starting reading at... oh, a quarter to nine. I am really enjoying it so far, it is a very interesting book.
Nothing else of much note has been happening...but soemthing interesting...
If you thought James and Adam having a birthday on the same day was cool, check this- My birthday is ON THE SAME DAY AS MIMMI'S!!!
Yeah. So, write up 24 August in all your calendars/diaries/stencil-it-on-your-forehead, because Mimmi and I share a birthday. Yeah. I noticed it a while ago, but kept forgetting to mention it.
In other, completely unrelated news, I am still doing my situps. yeah, I can tell you're all real excited.
Sara's idea for asking us questions, while undisputably cheeky, was quite clever. I don't know why she wouldn't want to drink soft drink in space though. I mean, haven't you read that Tintin comic where Captain [Barnacle?] tries to drink whatever he does in space, and it floats in a ball and he has to try to drink it. Cool, huh? Come on, you must have read it!
Also, in the newspaper the other day, there was an article about Blogs. Apparently someone called Mimmi.... Smartypants's online diary is going to be turned into a movie, sort of like Bridget Jones' diary. I haven't seen that, but it sounds cool. I got all excited where it said Mimmi, and thought that dear Mia Marlene might have another one...but no, this Mimmi is living in New York and is 30-something. I can't remember the adress, but I think it might be www.mimmismartypants.diaryland.com. Or something like that. I haven't checked it.
I think that about wraps it up for today. And remember:
Never leave your snowman in front of a fire.
Mood: Glad that I updated.

Sorry I haven't updated very much =\. Well, OK, it has only been two days...but it feels long enough. I hate it how school manages to eat away at my time...like some absurd disease it is. And I hate it how everything else conspires against me too. lol. I have a report due today which I haven't done, so I'll have to do some hurried work on Saturday and post it online for then. I also have an oral based around that report due on Wednesday. I have some English stuff to work on, a Maths test to be redone by Thursday, hockey game tomorrow at 11:30, chores to do, and what seems like a billion other things. And I am only in Year 10! I hate to think how I'll cope with Years 11 and 12. Of course, it doesn't help in the slightest that (a) I procrastinate and (b) my new bed time, now that I am back at school is 8:30. Thats right.
Over the holidays and even last term, my bed time was 9-9:30. Now, last night my mum says it's 8:30. Screw that. I mean...how am I going to survive? It is no wonder I get so tired when I stay at dads or something where I go to bed at 12! How am I supposed to survive long hours of homework, when my bed time is 8:30! How am I supposed to do long hours of homework? I'm hoping she was just in a bitchy mood, but she seemed fine. How can she possibly think that I should be in bed at 8:30? I know, like 8 year olds who go to bed later than that.. I was 8, six years ago, almost seven. Sometimes, I really, really hate how... how my mum is. She can really piss me off, and frequently does. I just think it is so unfair.... but I don't argue with her. Maybe I should... maybe I shouldn't. Who knows?
It just pisses me off. Like, really, really badly. Do your parents do that to you? Did they ever do that to you?
Anyway, in other news Black Horizon is back up now that KOTR has got his act together and gotten back with us. So, that's good. I think I shall...randomly put up comics. I don't think it is really necessary to have them all the time, but if you want me to continue with them I will. What do you want?
Mood: Alright, but...odd.

Well, I am back, and at school. First period, and I am sitting here on a computer wasting time...well, that and doing this. :p
Now, onto comments from my previous post before I cover my day.
In response to you all: I think you probably saw it after I had changed it all to my liking. Now I have an Intro Banner, a 3x3 button square, and some Toadies Lyrics. And, as my title suggested from my last post, 1 character under the limit. So, I am happy with it now and it should be staying pretty well much like that for quite a while. So, I am glad that you all seem to like it >:-P
In repsonse to Strike Gundam's [plugness] comments on making them all random...well, my other people's buttons are random, but my own buttons and the fanlistings will remain the same. There are 4 buttons per three random image accounts I made.
Now, down to the Questions. Why is Panda always asking questions now? :p
Panda's Questions
-What was the worst job you have ever had to do?
Weeding. That would be my pet chore hate.
-What on your desk would become a floatation device in the event of a water landing?
Me. And I would serve to keep my computer HD dry ;D
-What antropormophic cartoon character would you be?
Anthropomorphic is part human part animal, right? Well....does Wolverine count? Coz he is pretty cool and all I can think of.
-What is your favorite dessert?
Apple Pie with Cookie Crumble Icecream. Delicious.
-If you had to listen to only one song for the rest of your life, not all the time, just the same song, what would it be?
Probably something by the Toadies, like Plane Crash or something. However, I know my favourite songs will change over time, so my answer to this would continue to change o_O
-Have you ever lost your temper in public?
No, my mother is too scary.
-What is up with all the people married to each other? I see it in signatures, but have never asked anyone about it. lol
'Marrying' on OB is...well, just something people do to show they're good friends, or are in a relationship IRL, or just have.... some kind of bond between them.
Anyway...hhmm.
Yesterday I went on the school bus to another town. Met up with friends, wandered around, kicked soccer ball around...
Err, have to finish this later... I'll just leave it like this...
12:04PM: I'm back.
Anyway, yesterday was good. Nothing exciting, but it was fun to just muck around. I haven't been doing much, but I'm just feeling a bit out of it at the moment. I am reading an incredibly interesting book called "Outside permission". Very odd, very...good.
Sorry I don't have much more to say =\.

1 CHARACTER UNDER!!!!

Eat your heart out Godzilla!
[2:51PM Monday 26 April]
One character under the limit! I did it! Yeah. Woo.
I would have liked to put a black table around the text...but we'll have to see. Maybe I should remove my own buttons? I mean, you know mine anyway.
I want some opinions, please. Should I leave my buttons on there or not?
Anyway, I am off to make some headway on that homework.
Edit: In other news, I am going to a friends place tommorrow [early]. So, I probably won't be on tomorrow, at all. And it will depend on my timetable as to when I get online the day after tomorrow. So, we shall see what happens, shan't we? ~_^
Hopefully I can be here though.

Further Introductioinisms.
Comment |
Permalink
[12:05PM Monday 26 April]
Well, as you can presumably see, my introduction has changed. It sill isn't really how I want it. It is still too cluttered and not sleek enough. But, for now it will do. I might go through and reorganise everything using tables and whatnot, but we'll see.
I'd be happy with it how it is, but it just doesn't feel completely right. I might even not link my own buttons to here. We'll see how I can get it looking.
It drove me crazy though. I'm still not happy with my buttons next to my Intro banner. I went into Edit COntent probably....oh, upwards of twenty times changing stuff. The thing is, HTML doesn't display the same between Frontpage and myO. Very annoying. But, it doesn't look too bad. Personally, I think that the horizontal dividers kind of ruin the sleek look. I can live with it until I figure out what I want to do with it though. Adam certainly made my day yesterday when he lifted the limit to 1500. So much better.
My mum left at 6:30 this morning and won't be back until 5 ish tonight, so I'm just lazing around really. Pretty enjoyable, really. The thing is, I really need to do some homework. I've had it all holidays, and have done only a page or two on it. And then next week I have a report from next term due. And I haven't done anything on it. All I have is my research. The thing is, I really begrudge having to do homework over my holidays. I mean, why should I have to when others don't? I really hate it.
On the other hand, hard nougat is absolutely delicious. Heh. My mum went to a Field day...day before last. I stayed home, but anyway she came back with candied almonda and hard nougat. Man, I love nougat. lol.
Anyway, onto other things. I am listening to a song called 'Roses' by Outcast. You may or may not know it, but I love it anyway. I love the style of their music, with the keyboards and everything, and they really seem to poke fun at themselves. Their music is a joy to listen to.
Anyway, sorry for the relative plainness of this update. I might go and fiddle with my intro some more...
