3:51 pm - I've been ignoring you LJ... but then again I always do.
|
I found a list of things to do written in blue crayon in horrible handwriting. The items around it in the box I dug out from underneath a heap of suitcases in my cupboard come from as early as year 9 (1998) and as late as first year Uni (2002), so it must be from around then... most likely from some dark and drunken night.
I believe it says (translated from some non-sense handwriting):
1. Record singing a song backwards but play it forwards.
2. It's a hit! I make millions.
3. Make a giant robot lizard which attacks and kills everyone.
4. Robot lizard plays the song sidewards which reveals the top secret hidden lyrics 'MY GIANT ROBOT LIZARD IS GOING TO EAT YOU BITCHES!'
I don't remember writing this obviously, and now I'm wondering if I ever actually went through with this plan, well obviously not, but I may have attempted it and failed miserably...
---
So Lj post huh... what to write... I ran into a mate I hadn't seen for ages a month or two ago, he had no idea I'd broken up with Gem, as I had never actually reported that fact in this space. I found it vaguely amusing, I also realised how little I actually care about using this thing to talk about me.
I read everything you guys post pretty much daily. I just don't post about me much. So... what's new with Joel?
I'm still floundering about Uni, but I'm damn close to finishing. Currently I'm impersonating a Graphic Design student, don't ask me why, I really couldn't tell you.
My big goal for this year fell under; Lexus Vendor has been postponed until next year. It sucked, but it's old news now (just making an LJ record of it).
Mum returns from the Old Country to end my life as I know it in a little over a month, so I've started cleaning. I hired a big skip and threw away a whole fuck-load of possessions, and found many amusing things in my cleaning efforts (thus the list at the top of this post). Top rated oddities would include a pair of undies that belonged to my Girlfriend from 2000/2001, and about 10 copies of Nickamc's resume. I assume Nick was at some point insanely keen to gain a position in employ, however I have no recollection of these events.
I'm currently crushing hardcore on a zombie-loving, kung-fu-fighting, creative-writing, clay-sculpting, beer-drinking, laughter-causing, bike-riding, hand-holding, dvd-buying, grin-inducing, girl named Bec. Alas a combination of our school work and my cleaning requirements is preventing me from seeing her and enjoying all those qualities I just described and the many others she contains as often as I'd like... Phooey.
I've gotten to head out and booze it up a few times these past weeks, but once again, things are IN THE WAY.
I'm currently at Uni trying to do schoolwork, however Uni is currently a circus as it's open day... it is mightily distracting. Especially the cheap sausages and cans of coke...
I've been promised a trip to Japan should I graduate this semester, this is the first time I've actually really cared about getting this degree done for any reason other than to just get the fuck out of here. There were three places int his world I always wanted to go to, Venice, Tokyo and E3. Done Venice, E3 doesn't exist anymore (at least the one I wanted to attend) and so it's just Tokyo left to go... I gotta do this.
Speaking of doing this, I should get back to my assignment.
Farewell LJ, I shall endeavor another post soon, hopefully a much more entertaining one... Damn I shouldn't promise that, I won't deliver.

4:35 am - E3 time again.... that magical time of t he year where I get no sleep.
|
I've stayed up for Microsoft and Nintendo's conferences... Sony's is about to start, but I don't think I can make it through another...
Some cool stuff revealed, but not much. I pretty much new everything of worth already...
Still WiiFit sounds cool, and the new Halo 3 trailer looked rad.
I want to be a futuristic-space-marine-thingy who knows only war and carries awesome guns around all the time...
Also Mario Kart Wii! Yes!

10:14 am - Space Age Awesomeness Ahoy!
|
I'm typing this on my Wii!
Yes! Now I can surf the internet using my Wii, just as long as it's next to my pc and my pc is turned on and already connected to the internet.
How futuristic!

2:46 am - ROCK BAND!
|
Hell yes, pretty much the same as guitar hero, although this is really early unfinished stuff (note they're using the guitar hero guitars, but they've said the completed version will have new fancier ones)... Still rad, and will probably only get radder.
The end is interesting, some sort of a rockout bit where you have to make some noise.

1:43 am - RATNAROK!
|
Oh God, she ATE her...
It's situations like this, when things are fucked up on levels you can't fully grasp in your own two hands, that you really see what people are like.
GirlSam screamed and cried, Ali and I started cackling, GirlSam smoked, Ali and I hit the scotch, GirlSam decided to fix the cage, Ali scratched my back with half a jaw bone. My evil cackle returned...
Ali and myself are apparently soulless harpy like creatures, GirlSam is a HUMAN.
Suddenly old events, long thought fully explained, have new questions raised about them and I'm wondering if there's a curse upon this house.
Somehow this lead to some very nice discussions on the nature of relationships... then we went back to the dark reality of the situation.
WOAHOAHOAHOAHOWEOWEOH!
Also let me just say this little gif image does not represent the idea of being awake in any way... it represents terror.
current mood:  awake

Oh dear, it's happening again!
Stonehenge – about 3000 B.C.
How did they do it? Why did they do it? Hundreds of years of work to build a calendar seems like a faulty explanation. Point – Notice the shape. The Round nature with counterpoints seems to bee an ancient theme.
"seems to bee an ancient theme."
Damnit, soon they'll be waking me up with SMS messages again.
Those clever bastards.

1:27 am - I enjoy women.
|
I wasn't going to post this, until I read the line "partly because you, like everyone else, enjoy women"
So, narcoleptic, your LiveJournal reveals...
You are... 6% unique (blame, for example, your interest in toffee strawberrys) and 14% herdlike (partly because you, like everyone else, enjoy women). When it comes to friends you are popular. In terms of the way you relate to people, you are wary of trusting strangers. Your writing style (based on a recent public entry) is conventional.
Your overall weirdness is: 24(The average level of weirdness is: 27.
You are weirder than 54% of other LJers.)
Find out what your weirdness level is!

5:50 pm - Ummm...
|
Ok so it seems I've got a job working three hours a day, four days a week, at $16.something an hour, with an Autistic Child for the next 5 weeks.
How many moneys does that equal?
Ok assuming it's 16.50... times 3 is 49.50 a day.
Times that by four days... 198 a week... that's more than I used to make in a fortnight.
Times that by five weeks... $990 worth of work lined up.
That's not bad. Now if only I can manage to just put all of that straight into my savings I would.. still not have paid back all the money I borrowed from it, but I'd be close!
current mood: Sucking up my pride.

1:30 pm - Oops, it's a good thing I'm a pants-seat pilot.
|
So I had an exam today.
Last night I tried to study. I read Spark notes, I read extracts from the plays, I picked up the plays I was supposed to have read all semester and looked at the covers intently. I even tried rubbing Twelfth Night on my face in an effort to learn via magical tactile absorption.
It didn't really work, ok it didn't work in the slightest, but I had a backup plan. Bec had lent me her copy of Lear full of post it notes with summaries of each scene, I packed a pencil case full of sharp pencils and erasers, and I re-wrote a summery of the plays we studied with lists of the major themes I should discuss, short character bios, and symbolism in each play. I figured as long as I had all these it didn't matter that I haven't read a single play we've studied this semester. So with all this in hand, I figured I was safe to stop torturing myself last night and spent the night with Bec watching Transformers and making out. Geeks out there, I know you're jealous.
All was going well until I arrived for my exam this morning, a little tired but full of Red Eye and realised that in my waking up next to a pretty girl induced euphoria, I had forgotten to bring ANYTHING with me this morning. All of it was at home. I didn't even have a pen...
So I winged it, and I think I did rather well.
It's a good thing I'm intelligent, I always forget that about me. I'm also dopey, forgetful and absent minded, but still intelligent... ish.
Pants-Seat Pilot away!
current mood: Win!

5:52 pm - I'm so in love with Jade Raymond.
|
Assassin's Creed looks fucking rad. Third Crusade based assassin game where you play a free-running badarse killer who has to runt he fuck away from a city full of guards after stabbing a guy in the face. Everything in the game that sticks out more than 2 inches from a wall can be used as a foot or hand hold and it's up to the player to work out how they're going to get out of the city without being stabbed in the head lots.
( Also the producer (and programmer), Jade Raymond, is awesome and a geeks wet dream and I'm going to marry her when I grow up. )
In other news I'm stressing out like crazy because of assignments and am doing far worse than I normally do at getting things done. It seems not to matter whether I'm doing heaps of work or only a little, once the stress hits it's all the same. I've managed to do so much more work than I do now before but at those times I dropped a few things. Now I don't have to do much but I still can't survive without dropping a few things.
Bah, I'm really not cut out for this school thing. BUT I'M SO DAMN CLOSE!
Times when I'm not freaking out have been spent taking my lady out on dates, mucking about on the internet (I LOVE YOU INTERNET LETS NEVER LEAVE EACH OTHER AGAIN), daydreaming and planning things for Damned to the Future and playing God of War 2.
Can't wait for holidays and relaxing tequila spa times that will hopefully occur.

5:45 pm - Back at Uni.
|
Ok, so I slept in until 2. Which is bad yet awesome. Awesome because I've barely gotten any of my usually beloved sleep in days for the past month or so, bad because I've got a shiteload of work to do.
I got up and jumped on the computer, but still just mucked about visiting all my bookmarks for sites that I've been missing these past few months. Nothing has changed but just seeing those sites makes me feel warm inside.
I had a shower, I brushed my teeth. I mucked about and decided that I couldn't do my school work at home, things are too distracting there. Also there was nothing to eat at home and I wanted an excuse to wander around listening to all the new music I've got on my phone. So I walked to the mall, singing They Might Be Giants songs all the way, bought a kebab, and then walked over to Uni to start working.
SHOCK HORROR! This room is full of chatting people being all stupid and studenty, I can't work here! Also I forgot my class outline and for some reason this computer wont let me download the one on WebCT. So I decide I can't work here, I've got to go home!
I think I've discovered a new exhausting procrastination technique, walking back and forwards between home and school.
Maybe I should just go to bootlegs...
NO! NO! NO!
Maybe...
No!
Probably...
FUCK I SUCK AT SCHOOLWORK!
current mood:  enraged

7:44 pm - MORE MORAL AND WITH HIGHER ATTITUDE LEVELS!
|
Your Score: Nite-Owl You scored 78% Moral Imperatives and 67% Attitude!
You are outwardly altruistic yet neurotically obsessed.
Whether through a priveldged background or being just plain naieve, you try to act as a morally conscious individual while never fully attempting to understand the harsher sides of reality, torn between contemplating your own identity and being a good person.
Though compassionate and honourable, you suffer from an incomplete personality and your unresolved neurosis border on the egomanical leaving you in the dark.
