Here I am, sitting here, stealing internet from the school... not that many people are on the server right now. Is that the correct word? God I suck at computer-related things. I can't do html, I can't do photoshop, can't do EXCEL and all the crazy functions, can't do movie maker... [which is what I really want right now after being inspired by the vlogs on youtube. look up lemonfacee, mememolly, billilovesmargot! they're very cool and funny. lemonfacee has this cute except of The Adventures of Fanboy And Goth Girl... and there's this rhodo-something person >< she's friends with lemonfacee and some other uk youtubers... *sigh* just go look all their friends up; it's this big cool community of artsy and funny people who range from being 15 to people in their 30s]
Somebody tell me to stop using ellipses. As I was saying, hang on what WAS I saying? Oh I wasn't really saying anything. Just that when they decided to teach us excel and html and photoshop at school I was not listening/ have forgotten everything now. haha the only thing I remotely remember listening to were when we learnt how to make webpages using this program and I discovered fronskifeint in p5 and I was making a harry-potter themed website. Yeah yeah, an emerson spartz hopeful. Though that website kind of turned into hpzlotrz.blogspot.com and I'm so glad I deleted it (actually mum made me delete it; though that's another story) because the url itself is embarrassing. musicroom was like this concurrent project; originally it was a joint blog from oh p5 (again) where I would put news about simple plan and 987fm *cringes* thank goodness I don't have public archives. And there you go! A brief history. So this blog is 5 years old this year! I don't know when is it's birthday, though. But 5 years is pretty momentuous, don't you think?
Let's see. I should be going on a brief hiatus like huiqi because the myas are on; and everyone seems to know that I really need to study, heh. But I feel I have to put something up because the last time I did that was 2 weeks ago? or so and I didn't want to leave the blog to die. Not that anyone reads it though; I signed up for a blog counter and NOONE, I repeat, noone, not even a bot, has visited the site in the past week. So I can say whatever I damn well want. Woot! *throws inner editor out of the window*
After the myas I want to go shoe shopping! because *someone* has stolen my black flats xD not that I really want to buy another pair of black flats but what about sandals? or sneakers? because shoes are the one thing I can't buy online because of the weight and the fit--- I have small feet): and delias sometimes doesn't even stock my size. It was difficult enough to find something that fit me in london. I think I'll buy heels. But I want a nice pair of sneakers/ high tops so I don't have to wear running shoes if I don't want to wear school shoes. And I want heels maybe because flats don't exactly go with everything.
I don't know how to conclude this. I'll probably won't update in the near future because I'm terribly behind in Math and physics and bio [30%] D: plus lit SA was terribly depressing.

I visit the rgs congress forum sometimes, but lately it's been getting irritating because on some threads, when something is a common problem, everyone goes and describes the problem she has. In the end, the posts in the thread tend to repeat themselves because everyone has just described her problem that has been talked about at least 10 times before by other people. bchew has already asked people to come up with constructive strategies that actually help to solve the problem; but no one seems to take note. There aren't really a lot of alternative perspectives because everyone just sits around whining about things.
And for some contentious topics such as "to have an SA week or not" there is no definite solution because last year people _hated_ SA weeks because they didn't have time to study and then now people _want_ SA weeks. And someone said (sorry if I'm not crediting you!) that the grass would always look greener on the other side, and I absolutely agree. I bet if they implement SA week again people will want the SAs to be spread out. Therefore, to solve the problem, the school should have SA week only every other year, so people are kept happy. :)
=============================================================
I just told someone to f___ off. [don't worry, the person isn't a friend nor family] Two years ago, I swore that I would never do this kind of thing, and then now I'm saying it in my head all the time. It's awful, crude, disgusting, and immature. But after I told that person to go away, I felt oddly satisfied. And relieved. But it's just a stupid word! And I felt better than if I would have used any other word. ._. I think I have succumbed to insidious influences. Not that I would shriek and run away if I heard someone say it, but I'm using it once too often.
Morgan used to say it all the time though, and I assume goth girl does as well, and they both had this "I don't care" vibe, i.e. sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. (okay that was a little ironic.) Gaiman uses it. Margaret Atwood uses it. So why can't I? Because it demonstrates that I don't have sufficient vocabulary to express myself. So I could have said " stop bugging me, you repressed creep. it's not my fault if no one else wants to talk to you" instead. {even though it isn't eloquent ><}
Okay if I ever ever use this word here, even for effect, someone please flame me/ physically threaten me if it isn't censored. Please.
==============================================================
AA was really fun! :D and ally was great as the ringmaster!

it's been some time. a week.
let's see. today was ORA. You know in my 4 years in rg, the only time I ever participated in ORA was last year, where you could do a fa duty cum support sch activity, and I didn't really really participate because there wasn't much to do. Ah well. Talk about my school spirit (or lack thereof) I spent my time at home bumming around, doing math, physics, being sloth-like, the works. Imagine! Other people at the wrcd thing, and at ora, and I am at home being a pig. I disgust myself. Mum isn't very approving of me going to school on saturdays though; she thinks the time could be better spent studying, and I did study, so.
The point is that I should be writing more insightful things like yingling does, and not talk about insignificant frivolous things. Though I should be getting around to clearing the computer table; the pile of papers is now high enough that it is partially obscuring the monitor. That's how bad it is.
You know, I've realised that physical boundaries are not enough to keep people together, however much it might help, though. And it's irritating when there's no authority to get people going and to provide the incentive for people to _hand things up on time_ even though this speaks volumes about my assertiveness. I should not focus on myself so much >( I should focus more on other people! It isn't an onion anymore; it's more like battenberg cake. But I'm happy just as long as it's not the red seas, and sometimes crisises help divert focus, so it's not all that bad. idk, the groupie who sleeps with the band, contrary to popular belief, does not know everything. Haha the analogies don't really fit. But they're funny.
stupid. the lit review is STILL pending for me and I'm not doing anything ._. and I expect other people not to be tardy. WHAT AN IRONY.
Had lunch with mich (412) today; haven't talked to her properly in ages! It was quite pleasant and giggly, and I remembered what it was like again, because we laugh about the same things, and I don't get stared at for laughing randomly, because she does too :D And I had a $5.60 milkshake from carl's jr, which was lovely and thick, not like the mcdonalds one [I abhor that place], but overwhelmingly sweet towards the end. Don't buy it unless you feel depressed and need to drown your sorrows in something creamy and saccharine, because it's not worth it otherwise.
What else happened? Oh I made kidney bean stew (yummy) for the protein and it was surprisingly good and moreish :D I made it after midnight, of course. It had green pepper, copious amounts of onion, pepper, cumin, leftover pasta sauce, a can of kidney beans, and korma curry sauce from a jar.
Basically you put vegetable oil, pepper, salt, onions and green peppers in, stir it around a little, then put in the kidney beans. Stir somemore, and I put in pasta sauce and the curry-from-a-jar, and stir as you would stone soup. At this point the mixture will start to smell deelicious, and it's very fun stirring it. Oh put some water in (1/2cup) so it doesn't dry, though now it will look deceptively watery, because it will get thicker later. Then pop the lid on the saucepan and go do the washing up, but stir it every minute, so it doesn't stick to the bottom.
[the recipe I had didn't tell me this, and I thought it was burning when I couldn't get the stuff off the bottom. D< and it did say medium heat. Put it on low just in case. I ended up having to scour the pot ): ]
The waiting's the worst part. You are close enough to smell it, but it isn't quite done yet and you're practically salivating. But patience is a virtue! Listen to your mother. Okay after 10-15 mins, it's done, so scrape as much as you can off the bottom with the wooden spoon and turn off the heat. Then I ladled it into tupperware to freeze and keep, but you can eat yours on the spot if you want. I couldn't help sneaking a few spoonfuls, and it was difficult to stop. Lala.
It freezes quite well, just microwave for one minute, stir, and microwave for another minute when you want to eat. It's okay on its own, but not filling, so I microwaved mine with leftover rice and was good enough for lunch. Even though mine was ugly (a murky brown colour) it leaves you wanting more! and anyway you'll like it better if you cook it yourself(: Let's see. I didn't give any values, because most of them were guesstimates--the values in the recipe was in ounces): and I rounded up a lot. Just put whatever you feel like-- I did 1/4 of a pepper and 1/2 an onion and 1 tbsp of pepper.
okay! and thus ends a long post.
[/edit] OMG I just read this and it turns out the kidney bean stew thing is... chilli! yaya. YEAH. I've always wanted to eat chilli con carne because it's mentioned in a nat king cole song [don't laugh] and then now I realise I've eaten it :D Only "real" chilli in shops always has beef in it): and then I can't eat it and then now I can eat sloppy joes! and make them myself! Next time, I'll put alcohol in it, and more veggies, and crackers.

IT IS. eleven pm. and I told xavier I would study bio. I have bio- related websites open, but it is not getting in >:( it's just a lot of memorising, not like lit. I have to do well for bio, because my general gpa is falling. [Falling, yes I am falling/ And she keeps calling/ me back again]
and I forgot to mention, like huiqi did, yay rgsrcy for Arts Fest :D Even though some yearmates weren't really satisfied, you will always be winners in our hearts(: Plus the fact that the songs are permanent earworms say something, doesn't it? The sec3s were appropriately emo on saturday; and it was very fun (haha scary) with all the makeup. It was quite deep, actually and had meaning :D The sec2s buying shoes+elastic was really worth the effort. And they learnt the dance steps yingling jiaying huiqi liang taught them quite quickly, too(: Unit Dinner was... an interesting affair. sihui and I were feeling broke and hungry, so shared mushroom ramen and went to mango lingo to get icecream and shakes. yumyum. AND THEN I bought a mocha doughnut on the way home. [someone was craving shilin chicken, btw]

Goth Girl: "Comic book wannabe."
Fanboy: "Ha! Wannabe? You want to talk about that? You're a freakin' Goth wannabe. You're a Neil Gaiman wannabe. You're a suicide wannabe."
very very funny. Fanboy and Goth Girl by Barry Lyga is something I found amongst the new arrivals in the library today :D It's about this comic book geek who gets alienated in school, and then meets Kyra, who reads comic books too, but of the Sandman/ Gaiman variety! (Fanboy reads superhero stuff, x-men, that kind of thing -_-")
It's very unfortunately YA though, like Twilight [stephanie meyer] and Are we There Yet? [David Levithan] I mean mostly YA is lousy. Most of the new arrivals are YA; emo angsty things which revolve around the same themes, but Fanboy is an exception. Pretty soon I'm going to say everything is an exception, at the rate that I'm going, but I digress. I'm quite happy that amongst the new arrivals there's one addressing GLBT issues, like Luna and The Realm of Possibility. ^-^
Go read it! (if you can get ahold of it) I went there before lunch during free block to read it and then after school it was gone! It is that popular. If you get it, can you lend it to me? Please? Actually now all my borrowing spaces are taken up by a Jasper Fforde and andrea's books, but the Fforde is due on thursday-- after bio, luckily-- so I should be able to have spaces then.
Oddly, Fanboy reminds me of Xavier :/
