Feeling: Groovy
Listening to: Paper Airplane Dream by The Lyndsay Diaries

Apparently I've been, as you young people say, "tagged" by Sofieee.

  1. Take a picture of yourself right now.
  2. Don't change your clothes, don't fix your hair... just take a picture.
  3. Post that picture with NO editing.
  4. Post these instructions with your picture.
  5. Tag 5 people to do this.
I do believe I have broken the rules somehow by not taking a picture as soon as I found out I was tagged and actually just waiting for the day I looked okay enough to take a picture of. To make up for it though, I have displayed my natural happy face behind a grainy picture (which is actually a cut out of a print screen of me 1.3MP webcam-ing with Azmin), and that, surely, must count for something. :]

In terms of "tagging", I don't actually think I know five people that read this online journal I keep, so I shall be totally realistic and tag Azmin Jay, Chris Kang, Jamie Oliver, John Mayer, and I'm feeling a little sexist so, umm... Mischa Barton.

Now, I give you the essay-writing progress report of a Bachelor of Arts of Journalism, Film and Media Single Honours undergraduate (I never realised how long that could be, hahaha. Long):

If this proves anything, it's that I worked more late at night until I switched completely and did it after waking up really early in the morning. It also shows that I only have one more essay to write. Which is good news, fo' sho'. (Yeah. That was of no relevance to anything at all, but I like to see the gradual increase in number of words. It symbolises my descent into adulthood. Hahaha (Not really).)

Nonetheless, here is the countdown we all wait for everyday, I'm sure:

Days remaining (a): 5
Days remaining (b): 20

Oh, yes. The question that remains: Who wants to read my essay? It's about the Power Rangers, I'm sure you will find it wonderfully entertaining. :D Yes, that was indeed my manipulative method of advertising, and it just so happens to consist of a few fabrications of the truth, but who really cares about the truth these days anyway?

Here's the Capitalism video I made for Media Scholarship (which, might I add, is made only made up of images I got from searching with Google Images, except the title, credits and background) because I'm cool:

I call it...

Capitalism: The Never-ending Lie

(And it isn't at all cynical, in any way. :D)


And soon I shall click the "Publish Post" button which will bring me one step closer to world domination by slowly taking up all the webspace on the internet. I know, I'm so smart and sneaky, but that's why they call me Moosey (Because moose are even more cunning than foxes).

This has turned into a very long post. Even better for that plan I had (Please refer to previous paragraph).

Feeling: Confused
Listening to: Parker by Automatic Loveletter

It's that time again! :D

Yes! The time when I put up a countdown for some kind of event that is to take place some time in the future.

Days remaining (a): 13
Days remaining (b): 28

Notice anything different?

Why, yes! A first ever double countdown! Ommagadddd.

Looking at that countdown, I realise I should really be doing my work right now. Stupid internet. Getting me distracted and everything.

Feeling: Tired

I've been looking at Power Rangers information all day. I need a break. *Gasps for air.

Tuesday 4 November 2008

Feeling: Alert

I had my Media Scholarship presentation today. The Cushion Club (that's ussssssssssss. :D) did it on Fandom: Fan communities and their creative output. I got home around 7:15PM and as soon as I did, I collapsed on the bed and fell asleep for two hours. It was very disorientating 'cause I woke up and was just so confused. Kind of like this one time I decided to sleep in the afternoon and so I woke up thinking it was 5AM when it was really 5PM. I spent a few minutes walking around the empty house, wondering where everyone had gone so early and why it was so light outside. :D

Anyway, because I have strange bodily functions, especially after I wake up dazed, now, my eyes are like this: O.O

Feeling: Squeaky
Listening to: Sympathy For The Martyr by Straylight Run

I'm sure I meant to have something wonderful to say. Until...

I WAS ABDUCTED BY ALIENS!

Shocking, yes. And very unexpected. I was just minding my own business when whoosh! I was in a strange place filled with equally strange-looking creatures. I had absolutely no recollection of how I got there, but I am now a changed person. And the moral of the story is that anything is possible. So, love your parents.

I would go into details, but I don't think you really want to know... If you know what I mean. :/ Yeah.

CHANGING TOPIC BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS ONE MADE ME UNCOMFORTABLE!

My, what strange weather we're having lately. Would you like a cup of tea? :]
