This is very bizarre, and reminded me of Vin:

Plan for AID's gulag dropped .

One thing I love about the odd word:

The random poetry. I think it's fucking hilarious and I can't get enough of it. So sock it to me, bitch!

I have never seen "White Men Can't Jump." I don't watch many movies. I don't want to see Moulin Rouge like everyone else. What I DO want to see, however, are old episodes of Friends. Which brings me on to a little section I'd like to call "Things I've been thinking about lately."

Things I've been thinking about lately.

Old Episodes of Friends : It's not until you watch episodes from seasons 6/7 that you realise how the show has lost its original focus: group of 20 somethings, crap lives, failed relationships, etc = damn hilarious viewing. Now it's all whiney and quirky, but not in a good way. Not in a, dare I say it, "Odd Word" way. I don't enjoy it nearly as much as I used to. And that says something, because at one stage I was quite obsessed. Sure, none of them are 20 anymore (some of them weren't in their 20's when the show started, I think Matthew Perry was one of the youngest and about 24), but still. The show has gone crap. By the way, if anyone wants to see the complete archive of Friends Scripts (just incase you want to read back and enjoy the mirth), a good site is here . The guy who runs the site thinks he's a bit of a hero, but if you ignore some of the comments he makes it's a 'top read'.

My painful watch problem : Today I unsuccessfully wore a watch again. I reckon I'm just oversensitive and neurotic so that's the end of my dilemma.







May 25, 2001

I would dearly love to proclaim myself as being evil. Unfortunately my mother has beat me to it.

I can't wear a watch because my hand hurts. Not because the watch is too tight around my wrist (as someone suggested with all the genius of a plank of wood), that isn't the problem. But I get so nervous and aware of things around my wrist!

But on to bigger and better things: the web pag is still down because I'm still a bit busy. I am loving the business though. My sister will be in KL (most likely) this summer but I have to stay here and ponder things with great intensity. If she goes and any of you are there, I will be sending stuff. Although I have been meaning to send stuff for like a year and have been way too consumed by my dark cloud.

Hey guess what - I am seriously considering doing some tarot card readings for extra money. I've been getting pretty good at it: really accurate readings, people hitting me and saying "how did you know that" and "exactly." Apart from the bruises I am getting a weird kick out of it. I have my mum's friends hassling me. It's pretty funny.

And now for current events!:


Big Brother, My Dark Obsession : starting to bore me. Which is really sad. The boys are not so cute.

Robert Downey Jr. : An example of what you can get away with if you're famous. He is very cute. I love him a lot. Too bad he's a smackhead.

Okay, so I don't have that much to write about. Hehe.

cool runnings, mon!

I write with a pen
and not with my hand
does that make me an amputee?

It's only a semester long course anyways, we touched on abortion, miracles and evil. I realised only tonight that I could have had alot of fun proclaiming myself evil, the rest of the class with the task to disprove me. Maybe next class. ass.

May 22, 2001

call me frieda
call me shirley
call me beth
call me amy
call me barbara
call me annie
call me calie
call me mr. o'mallie

interesting, but even though the class was called Ethics, Politics and Religion there was definitely a lack of politics in discussion.

bung

is my word of the day. Tomorrow's are petulant and bombast. Meeks: Ever heard of a rapper named Cage (sp?) he recites a bit of the clockwork orange in one of his tunes, that's some good shit. Represent with the power of Ja!

May 20, 2001

Bleh.

Those pictures are damn fucking scary. The horns are pretty cool but look like ice cream.

My bitchiness and whining, as Vin so sensitively put it, are not to return for awhile. Not for a few weeks because of upcoming exams. Nyeh.

So I'll just crap on here for awhile. Until they come to collect me and take me home. They promised they would!

May 19, 2001

serial surrealisms, I love it!

I'm writing an essay about abortion right now, having to be 1250 words. Which sounds unbelievably easy but I keep on sentimentalising, so I end up just avoiding the issue. I hate writing with focus.

You fucking lucky bastard! In Malaysia. I guess I am the only one out of the four of us who doesn't have a physical tie to KL anymore. Except my dad, but when do I see him? Heheh.

Yeah, up to my fucking CLAVICLES in work. It pains me and I have the fucking flu. I am dropping English next semester because I don't care for a semester of pure Shakespeare.

All may have noticed I took my blog down for awhile. It should be going back up today because I haven't got anything else to do but be sick and mope around like a whiney bitch.

I don't know what else to write for now. I'm off to the message boards.

May 15, 2001

how do you all do? I think Blogger should be working, no one should fear it. Think of more like a cuddly dog than a giant squid now. I just teased the code a little bit. Sooo... I guess everyone is up to their clavicles in work. Blogger seems like a much more fruitful pursuit, or writing, or singing, or anything.

There's a comic called "Strangers in Paradise", and I'm stealing words from the introduction of the third volume when I say that it is a comic that looks at the intricacies of friendship. It is by far the most emotive comic I buy and no matter which one I feel I always need to respond. The writer relates the comic to Henry James, I was supposed to read "The Awkward Age" last semester but didn't. I'm the poorer for it. It wouldn't have been any skin off my teeth.

So many books soo little time dammit.

May 13, 2001

This is for tomorrow, the 14th of May ...

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY MIKKO!



Have a safe flight back to KL! Hope to see you there.

The madness. THE MADNESS.

I would also like to bring to the discussion, the riots due to the Trade Conference in Belgium (a couple of years back) resulted in the monumental gavel-of-justice, take-no-shit arrest count of one. Really grasping at the straws... he recently lost his appeal due to the testamony of one police officer. The alleged rioter was British.

May 10, 2001

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO POST THAT DAMN THING FOR THE PAST 6 DAYS!!!!

I wish Blogger would update when people actually post! I go for days at a time thinking nobody's updated and then I come into the portal and there are like 100 new posts.

DAMN YOU BLOGGER.

M1: In Melbourne it was pretty pitiful. The organisers of the M1 alliance (one interest group of which was the "We Want More Hugs" movement) had expected upwards of 20,000 people to turn out, but in reality only 5 000 or so did. There were probably more policeman than protestors, which is quite funny. They had to board up the Nike stored downtown, and McDonalds restaurants were heavily defaced. Interestingly, media footage is being used to identify those who cost a lot of shops thousands of dollars damage, and they will be prosecuted. And so they should be, I think. I hate it when people think that their actions will not have consequences.

Vin and Han, I agree - nothing was achieved. I think 2 million dollars was lost in trade, because shops were advised to not open on that day. I couldn't get to uni because of the threat of potential violence, and I didn't want to get myself caught up in that.

People pretending to know : At the time, I was really pissed off and probably writing something fueled by rage, which is why I made the somewhat radical statement that you can't understand something until you've experienced it. It was sparked by someone saying "if someone says something racist to you, you should just shrug it off. The person was probably stupid anyway." What bothers me is that people still subscribe to racist ways of thought, not so much that people are racist towards me personally.

Vegetarianism : Yesterday, for the first time in a week I ate meat. Today I woke up feeling really seedy like I had a hangover, so I've decided that the vegetarian way of eating is right for me. I eat a lot of mushrooms now, and I've read that it's an excellent meat substitute. So let's see how that goes! And I've decided to go easy on the exercise because I don't eat well enough yet to have such a rigorous work out regimen.

Music Video Idea : I don't know quite what to think of it. It sounds really fucking violent though. Sometimes I worry about you Meekz! Btw, are you going to be in the States or Malaysia for your birthday?

Reality TV Shows : Could you be on something like Big Brother? I reckon I'd be one of the first to go.

Mother's Day: It's Mother's Day next Sunday! Yay mums! Don't know quite what to do for mine yet. I don't think I could possible do anything big enough to thank my mum for all that she's done for me. What do you do for a woman who kept you in her body for 9 months? (In my case, 9 months and two weeks, heheeh). Every year I get older I feel like I should do something bigger and better for her.

Summer in Malaysia : I don't think I'll be going. One, I have a really strange history and classics exam timetable. Two, my dad doesn't seem to eager to have my sister and myself cramp his style for a week or two. HARSH statement to make, but dammit that's the way it feels.

Futile. Violence, rather than the focus being on the victims of the violence, was the strongest voice and superceded any other kind of unified message trying to be communicated.

Although talks were engaged, downtown london lost 20,000 pounds sterling worth in trade, it's all nicks and scratches and it might not even be the right scratchpost.

May Day Protests: discuss.

May 01, 2001

I'm pleased to announce that I've renounced my un-christianity. It was a choice that I made a couple of months back. though I am still quite relaxed in my beliefs and strength, in that belief existing independent from a person's identity.
