Disturbing Dream

Had the most disturbing dream this morning. Might have been influenced by watch ready steady cook when they cooked sheeps brains and ncis, with all the blood and stuff. Best not to read if you can’t stomach this kind of thing.
Starts off with my sisters and I exploring this…ruin thing that’s covered in grass and flowers. I somehow manage to climb up onto this spacy ledge, that had three main focus points for me because there were 3 butterflies that fluttered onto the 3 points. I managed to catch one on the far side and go and show it to my sisters and throw it at them. I go to fetch the other butterflies, and I walk over to this one rock( it’s looks like this:3 rocks leaning against a bigger rock forming a cave), and I look around then look back to discover it has collapsed. I try to find the butterfly that I saw on the rock, and so I search. I removed the rocks to find human brains underneath the rocks.
(Okay somehow here I become a docter and I look totally different and for some reason that guy who had an accident this year and became shorter- grant or something appears)
The docters and I have somehow concluded that it was the grant dude who committed this crime and asked him why he didn’t hide the bodies there. He replies, “ because you found the brains now didn’t you? What did you do with the brains? Can I have one?”
We decided to give him a bit of one of the brains to him, so we left to go get it. We have the brains in a large champagne glass( might have been influenced by the dessert I had last night), and grant dude comes in. He takes the glass and grabs with his fingers a piece of the brain and eats it. We’re in a cornered room and can’t get pass him, so we take the glass from him and edge closer to the door and then give the glass back to him. We run into another docter who then decides that we need to give him a needle, which he ends up reverting back to normal, but then turns back into that weird maniac. I think that is when my dream ends and I wake up at 6:30am. It was really creepy watching him eat the brains raw like that.. my stomach is still turning..

Oh and I guess have a belated merry xmas and happy new year.

Mozzies

Man I bloody hate them!!!I haven't even been outside today, and I've got like 5 mozzy bites!! I hate it when you can here them, when your in bed, and hear them buzzing, so I usually suffocate myself and cover my head and body to prevent myself getting another bite. Wait, now I've just recounted..I've got 9 bites...:(

Vegemite

Does anyone hate vegemite? I used to hate it for some reason, except now I think I'm starting to like it...

Tuesday, December 23, 2008

Sooo.... today I got my thinned because my hair was getting ridiculously thick again.. I swear, when I turned around..god I've got thick hair. But it's good, seeing as it's summer and all.
My dad was playing this extra that you get after completing call duty: world at war. He was basically shooting zombies that try to enter this building. So repetitive. Well, if my dad plans to get resident evil 5, i'm so watching him play.

What should I do? Should I retake Vis com? My parents want me to retake it cauz they don't think it's good enough. The problem is, I will have six subjects next year then. I kinda do want to retake it, except I know I've got bad time management problems. And vis com would be easier..seriously what should I do?

Monday, December 15, 2008

This can't wait!!!

OMG!!! YAY!!!Finally! finally i've got a drawing tablet!!!wooototot!!>.<

I've been thinking...

Maybe I should lay low for a while. Like, not coming on for a while. There's hardly anyone on, and no one updates so why should I? I'll give it a week and see how it goes.

Just some random stuff

The most 'exciting' thing so far has to be..my bed. Reason? Wellll... the fact is, while I was making my bed, the bed frame just collapsed. I knew it wouldn't be long till that old thing would fall apart. And no, it's not because of my weight that led to it happening..well I don't think so anyway.. I swapped bed's with my sister a few months back because I didn't want the double bed because it took up too much space. So while we were swapping beds, the single bed(my bed) kinda fell apart because a bit of the metal had chipped off. So I stuck it back together with this...adhesive but not quite adhesive. Well now I'm sleeping on the mattress on the floor. It's actually quite nice. There's no creaking when I turn, and it's just more convenient. Haha I'd put up some pics except why would I?
--------
Randomness
School houses. My thoughts on what they should dress up as.
Locksley-mime artist, elvis, barbie(nurse perhaps), prisoner,swan princess
Rowena-pocahontas, pacman, light(elemental fairy?),
Rotherwood-snow white, cinderella, donald duck
Ashby-aurora(pinkish red?),blinky bill, red riding hood, elmo
Oswald-mad hatter,turtle(tmnt),frog
York- cheshire cat, maleficient( that evil witch in snow white),eggplant,

Haha just noticed..most of them are cartoon related.

Inventions

You know, there are so many things people should invent except probably won't ever happen before my death. You know those things that you want but don't exist yet? Here's my list:
*Wireless earphones/headphones that won't damage your hearing. I dunno, they could some how try to stimulate our brains into remembering the songs?
*Some sort of image capture thing for your brain. Like, when I've thought of the best thing I could draw but know my abilities won't be capable to recapture that thought.
*Teleporters. Seriously. It would be so convenient. I wouldn't have a problem going to peoples' houses anymore.
*Some sort of dream/memory capture. Like the pensive in harry potter. I'd love to relive some memories.
* A microchip that could be inserted into our heads so that we all had superbrains.
*A game console that could play any type of console game and that was portable.
*A book that could transform into any book at your request. Wouldn't ever need to go to the library ever again.
* Perhaps a virtual world where you could create your ideal world with your thoughts, and that you wouldn't starve or whatever in the real world.

I'm sure there would be more if I wanted to sit in this chair and ponder but I don't feel like it. Feel free to come up with your own inventions. I'd like to hear your thoughts.

I really shouldn't hide my things. Takes me forever to find them again.

Movie Marathon

I've just finished watching around 4 movies today. Man I'm tired. What I watched:
*Prince of Tennis the movie( samurai)
*Prince of Tennis( liveaction)
*The Twins Effect( HK movie)
*Howl's Moving Castle!!
Yay!!! Okay, POT movies..wth?? Especially the LA version.. so fast paced and they only went against one school!
The Twins Effect is a HK movie, ( i was intrigued when I saw the ad on the tv) basically it is about vampires who are being hunted down by hunters. It stars quite a few famous people such as Jackie Chan, The Twins( Gillian and Charlene), Edison Chen and a few others I don't know the name of. Overall fun to watch because of all the fighting scenes.
Howl's Moving Castle! I've been meaning to watch this after hearing it was good and all, and wow it was good!! It's so different to your usual kind of movie..I liked Howl better when his hair was blond though. His eyes don't suit his black hair. Anyway I'm hungry. Going to eat dinner.

Just a bit of fun part 3

Possibly the last part of my little bit of fun because no one seems to bother to go on nowadays. It'll be a bit longer than the others because I find it interesting.

Here is a riddle written by Einstein during the last century
(20th) and he said that 98% of the world could not solve it. It's not
hard. You just need to pay attention and be patient.

There are five houses of five different colors.
In each house lives a person with a special nationality.
The five owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain
brand of cigars, and keep a certain pet.
No owner has the same pet, smokes the same cigar, or drinks the same beverage.

The question is: Who owns the fish?

Hints:
1. The Brit lives in the red house.
2. The Mexican keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Chinese drinks tea.
4. The green house is on the left of the white house.
5. The green house's owner drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhills.
8. The man in the center house drinks milk.
9. The American lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps a horse lives next to the man who smokes Dunhills.
12. The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The American lives next to the blue house.
15. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.
(ask me for the answer or google it)


This bit requires you to think fast, so if your not in the mood don't bother.

Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles.
As we grow older, it's important that we keep mentally alert.
The saying; "If you don't use it, you will lose it" also applies to
the brain. Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or
non-loss of intelligence.


So take the following test presented here and determine if you are
losing it or are still "with it."

OK, relax, clear your mind and....... begin.


1. What do you put in a toaster?


The answer is "bread."
If you said "toast," then give up now and go do something else.
Try not to hurt yourself.
If you said, "bread," go to Question 2.


2. Say "silk" five times. Now spell "silk." What do cows drink?




Answer: Cows drink water.
If you said "milk," please do not attempt the next question.
Your brain is obviously over stressed and may even overheat.
It may be that you need to content yourself with reading
something more appropriate such as "Children's World."
If you said, "water" then proceed to Question 3.


3. If a red house is made from red bricks
and a blue house is made from blue bricks
and a pink house is made from pink bricks
and a black house is made from black bricks,
what then is a greenhouse made from?



Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass.
If you said "green bricks," what the devil are you still doing here
reading these questions?????
If you said "glass," then go on to Question 4.




4. Twenty years ago, a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany.
If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany.
Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines fail.
The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing,
decides on a crash landing procedure.
Unfortunately the engine fails before he has time and the
plane crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land"
between East Germany and West Germany.
Where would you bury the survivors?
East Germany or West Germany or in no man's land?"



Answer: You don't, of course, bury survivors.
If you said ANYTHING else, you are a real dunce and
you must NEVER try to rescue anyone from a plane crash.
Your efforts would not be appreciated.
If you said, "Don't bury the survivors" then proceed to the next
question.



5. If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60 of a degree every minute,
then how many degrees will the hour hand move in one hour?




Answer: One degree.
If you said "360 degrees" or anything other than
"one degree," you are to be congratulated on getting this far,
but you are obviously out of your league.
Turn your pencil in and exit the room.
Everyone else proceed to the final question.



6. Without using a calculator :
You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales.
In London, 17 people get on the bus.
In Reading, six people get off the bus and nine people get on.
In Swindon, two people get off and four get on.
In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get in.
In Swansea, three people get off and five people get on.
In Carmathen, six people get off and three get on.
You then arrive at Milford Haven.
Question is : What was the name of the bus driver?





Answer: Oh, for crying out loud! Don't you remember?
It was YOU, you, YOU.....
Now pass this along to all your friends
and hope they do better than you....



First Question:
You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person.
What position are you in?

Answer: If you answered that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second!



Try not to screw up in the next question.

To answer the second question, don't take as much time as you took for the first question.



Second Question: If you overtake the last person, then you are...?

Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are
wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST person?!



You're not very good at this are you?



Third Question: Very tricky math! Note: This must be done in your head
only. Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.

Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Add another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000. Now add 10. What is the total?

Scroll down for answer..


Did you get 5000? The correct answer is actually 4100.


Don't believe it? Check with your calculator! Today is definitely not your day. Maybe you will get the last question right?


Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter?


Answer: Nunu?
NO! Of course not. Her name is Mary. Read the question again

-------------------------------------

okay that's it. I would have added in this amusing convo which is a bit ridiculous but your brain would probably overload with reading all of the above.So that is the end.

Is there a Santa?

Taken from a site:

Consider the following:

  1. No known species of reindeer can fly. But there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not COMPLETELY rule out flying reindeer which only Santa has ever seen.
  2. There are 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. BUT since Santa doesn't (appear) to handle the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Buddhist children, that reduces the workload to 15% of the total - 378 million according to Population Reference Bureau. At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes. One presumes there's at least one good child in each.
  3. Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seems logical).

This works out to 822.6 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with good children, Santa has 1/1000th of a second to park, hop out of the sleigh, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left, get back up the chimney, get back into the sleigh and move on to the next house.

Assuming that each of these 91.8 million stops are evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false but for the purposes of our calculations we will accept), we are now talking about .78 miles per household, a total trip of 75-1/2 million miles, not counting stops to do what most of us must do at least once every 31 hours, plus feeding and etc.

This means that Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second, 3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man- made vehicle on earth, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second - a conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 miles per hour.

4) The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium-sized lego set (2 pounds), the sleigh is carrying 321,300 tons, not counting Santa, who is invariably described as overweight.

On land, conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that 'flying reindeer' (see point #1) could pull TEN TIMES the normal amount, we cannot do the job with eight, or even nine.

We need 214,200 reindeer. This increases the payload - not even counting the weight of the sleigh - to 353,430 tons. Again, for comparison - this is four times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth.

5) 353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance - this will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as spacecraft re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer will absorb 14.3 QUINTILLION joules of energy. Per second. Each.

In short, they will burst into flame almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them, and create deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second.

Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500.06 times greater than gravity. A 250-pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force.> In conclusion - If Santa ever DID deliver presents on Christmas Eve, he's dead now.

..I'm slowly starting to lose interest in everything I do. I can't seem to concentrate on one thing at a time. I'm feeling tired.... my life really seems to lack so many things. I really want to let some energy out. Doing nothing at home while thinking I should be doing something is just making me more annoyed. The fact that I'm stuck at home with grandma doesn't help. I've resolved to not talk to anyone at home for a while or else I'd just start a fight. Also... I wish the lighting in my house wasn't so dim.. can't see anything.

Really bored....

What is everyone doing? No one ever updates anymore...

Just a few complaints

Yesterday was my friend's b'day. She got into MacRobertson Girls. I miss her:(. Yesterday after Celebration Night I texted her wishing her a happy b'day and found out that she was in Vietnam. No idea why but I plan to ask her. It's probably been more than a year since I've contacted her, and a few years since I last saw her as well as another bestie.
Is it just me or has everyone been to some other country within the last few years? Last time I went somewhere was to Queensland in Yr 7. I don't think I'll ever get to travel until I can afford it on my own.Psh.
Also, I seem to keep making friends with a bunch of smarties. How on earth did that happen? God I wish their intelligence would rub off onto me. It would totally help for next year.
