Pokemon! POKEMON!? AUSTRALIA!

Pokemon... mmhmm...

SPARTA! No I mean... AUSTRALIA!

Yes! OK, faithful people of the assorted ethnic groups of the internet (i.e. people who like blogging, forums, porn, youtubers and all those weird people who use the internet for... for... useful stuff!? :S what? the internet is merely for entertainment of the Y generation! Get lost online real estate agents!) this blog is to prove that I have not abandoned my window... my precious window for all of you to look within and be confronted by the weirdness you find therein. Therein you find gold too... but not today. Maybe tomorrow? Keep visiting you'll get that gold eventually. Yes, I have been occasionally co-authoring ramblingsofcornflakes and have recently done a semi-epic blog that's 7 pages long (http://ramblingsofcornflakes.blogspot.com/2008/11/20-minutes-is-not-enough.html) when I could've been here blogging instead but oh well... I haven't completely abadoned this blog and I still use it and I will just figure out a way to keep both of these blogs active. Neither will be too personal but oh well... I think anything on Ramblings will be more relevant to the fellow co-authors (Brooklyn, cornflake, the thing that should not be) and anything here will be more relevant to Rayne, Becca L. Blogmore and Brooke... because no one else in the world reads this? Who is Bella? :S

Speaking of epics... Baz (ha! Baz) Lurhman's EPIC film Australia is out! It is! It's true! Yes! It got 2 stars as a rating!

... what?

HAHAHAHAHA! Ooooohhh burn! I was wondering if that was going to happen! This movie has some serious hype, it's got some serious attention and it's going to be to Australia as what Lord of the Rings was to New Zealand... and I thought to myself "imagine if there was just so much hype around this... and someone gave it a bad review" and guess what? Well you don't need to guess I've already told you! Someone... gave it only TWO STARS! That's... terrible. That's abismal! If I ever got anyone giving any film I made when I was older only two stars I'd be depressed. I'd be seriously hurt and have my confidence shooken like a ball in a blender on liquify that's attached to a paint shaker thingy... the thing that makes it all even or something. You know? The thing you don't touch in stores (LIKE Bunnings! Lowest prices are just the beginning!) but you think "oooh that'd be so cool what I could do with that..." but in reality... there is nothing to do with an object that moves a pain can up and down really quickly.... what does that do!? It has one purpose alone... and that's boring. It doesn't do what it does in the simpsons (APRIL FOO- BOOM! *mushroom cloud of beer* Yes, I know someone out there will get that)

But yeah. Ouch man ouch... this review was harsh, said that there was barely any scenery, it was unartistic, failed to match up to similar movies (never seen a film compared to so many titles of films I've never heard of...) and the only person in it that did any decent acting was the little aboriginal girl who played the mixed-blood orphan (Those guys seem to be natural born actors. The Rabbit Proof Fence! Wow those poor girls... you really cared for them and they were wonderful) and Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman "struggle to establish characters we believe in or care about." - Mark Naglazas The West Australian. Ouch... I like those actors. Ouch. So yeah... long awaited Australian Epic got a bad review... ha! I laughed at that and chances are... I'm still going to see it. Because one) Nothing else is out and I am a big fan of the Australian film industry seeing how I want to be in it sometime I have to support it two) Certain people out there will get annoyed if I don't go see it with them... yes, you know who you are and you're adorable! We're not going to see Quarantine no matter how good reviews it gets... ESPECIALLY if it gets good reviews... and three) Just turn the page and you get a half a page ad for Australia with all the OTHER movie reviewers reviews all over it.

"AUSTRALIA IS SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT, ENTHRALLING Entertainment on a Grand Scale, as Spectacular an Achievement as Anything Seen in the Movies This Year." - Moviehole.com

Finally a type of hole I can enjoy... oh that sounds... so wrong.... in a reversely perversely way... (I rhyme! reversely perversely! :P ehehehe but no seriously I don't have a gender...)

"A Sun-Burnt Spectacle" - Daily Telegraph

Why are you saying great things about a movie... by comparing it to sun-burn?

"Luhrmann's Epic Triumph" - Sunday Telegraph

"We Knew Australia Would be Bib but Baz Luhrmann's Movie is Huge!" - New York observer

And there's a few more but you get the idea... Mark Nagalazas is the only one here who doesn't like this movie. Just like I'm the only one who liked Pirates of the Caribbean 3. Hahaha! Speaking of great epic movies that really suck...

2001: A Space Odyssey! Hahaha yeah hurry up and yell at me and call me ignorant and say that I hate Stanley Kubrick which is a lie... I love him. I wish he was still alive.... 79 year old men.... yeah! NO! NO! OK, sorry for... melting your mind. Trust me, one day I shall reveal to you all why 2001 is the worst movie good ol' Stanley ever made.... but not right now. (Clockwork Orange is AWESOME! Brilliant! Truly Brilliant! I'm doing the hand signals again...)

OK! This post was ACTUALLY going to be about POKEMON! (Hey little kid you like a jump rope, what do you think candy is made out of? pokemon! POKEMON!? hahaha no, actually candy is more like kodak film... free cookie points to those who get that reference!) so let it be about pokemon now!

OK, for all those out there who remember growing up as little kids and seeing Pikachu make team rocket blast off again and again everytime it would use thundershock on thier meowth hot air balloon (which... magically ALWAYS comes back?) will also remember that.... the pokemon TV series is... boring and childish really. That, and Ash NEVER GROWS UP! He's technicall 22 now... or even older I think. Why is he still wandering around and why was it legal for him to wander around anyway? And does he actually keep his mothers constant nagging advice to keep clean underwear? Who knows... who cares?

This blog is not about the TV series either (which I have found a way to download around 400 episodes of... Anime's never die... only the animators who draw them!? I wish Death Note had tons of episodes. It's 37 seem puny compared to other shows, even Full Metal Alchemist's 52 and Movie. But I guess the pure awesomeness and INGENIOUSLY constructed and perfectly written story of Death Note doesn't allow for it to be drawn out longer and longer without it dying down in pure awesomeness) This is actually about the games. The games...

... are made of awesome...

(So is my grandma's recon armour!)

My Mewtwo brings all the trainers to the yard and theyre like "damn right ur pokemons better than ours!" I could train u, but id have to charge:P

Quite simply, Pokemon games are addictive and if I haven't mentioned this before it's because I was too busy playing the games to blog. They are incredibly addictive and I love playing them! I am currently playing Ruby, I have caught Groudon with a Great Ball (Because it's GREAT!) and I have just defeated the final gym leader and I'm just training my pokemon to the point where the Elite Four will be nothing but any other old series of super hard trainers... nothing shall stand in the way of my all powerful team of Breloom (nicknamed "mgicshroom") my Swampert (nicknamed "Muddles") and... whatever.... the other ones...

AND MY MEW! (mewwwwby!) HELL YEAH I HAVE A MEW! It is awesome and it megapunches anything in it's way to death! Yes, I don't care about you, I have a MEW! Basically these games (which I have on an emulator on my computer) take up my spare moments that I get away from reading books on Psychology and New Moon (Slow... book... slow...) and now I have become a zombie at the computer screen wanting to versus more trainers! The games have a simple design with a few visual puzzles thrown in when you're nagivating things and plenty of trainers to challenge your strategy and strength and so it becomes one very addictive game that will never get old.... and the built in gameshark and codes I got from the internet that allow me to have mew from the very start of the game (as soon as I have pokeballs I can catch Mew... well... it's really hard because he's still a legendary so I need to beat him up and throw balls at his head for a while before he stays down...) I don't know why I just felt like mentioning that I still love the pokemon games. I know people out there agree with me: TV series for kids, Games are for life.

This really is the closest I get to being a gamer... I don't even play my playstation anymore... even though I have decided sometime during the holidays I will most definitely get round to melding my body to the couch and picking up that good old friend I call the controller and showing Sephiroth and Riku who the REAL keyblade master is! BAM! I've beaten Sephiroth with the kingdom key there is no better than I! Well... maybe there are people out there who actually play that game nonstop... (bonus cookie points for those who know which game I'm talking about! Hint: Not Final Fantasy IV... which I really would like to play though)

There is something about the ability to go whereever you want, capture and control beings of untold power which magical attacks that will shock, burn, freeze or poison your enemies and leave them unconscious after one hit from your fists that really appeals to me...

Mew! Mew is awesome! Cute, cuddly, mess with it and you're screwed!

Terrorists use tickle Torture

OK! If you haven't read my previous post then who cares? It's just telling you that I didn't write anything in that post because I lost it all! And before I tell you what I think I wrote I'd just like to mention that my monitor is all screwey and once again (yes, again for those who knew already) it has lost the ability to display red... yep. The 3 primary colours of light are red, green and blue and when you take one of those away it becomes very hard to show many things properly on the screen... so now everything is a weird shade of blue... especially anything that is white it now cyan. Speaking of colours and light... I'VE FINISHED MY EXAMS! (Light is part of physics... physics exam) but I'll mention that later on because otherwise people will come to my house and hurt me (They want me to blog about a certain something) My monitor is also got a loose power cord in the back of it so if I try to fiddle around with it to solve the problem with the colour by adjusting the cords correctly the power goes out and when you keep suddenly connecting it to power then off then on again it starts to make a very unsettling crackling noise....

OK! I uh... pressed a button and everything went weird... OK! Anyhoo, enough of trying to solve my problem of the screen being nothing but weird shades of green and blue (SO MUCH BLUE!) I shall now continue to blog...

OK! Well Friday... (Let's just call it "Friday"... for that be the day that it happened on...) I woke up very early after staying up very late (Which turns out to be later than I thought because my computer's clock is an hour slow... I don't when that happened but it magically fixed itself so my computer has been messing with my head for a while now and I haven't noticed...) and so I had to go do stuff while I waited to go do other stuff... I had a plan for that entire day! And none of it went quite as I wanted it to because.... well.... it didn't. I can't plan the future perfectly merely predict it (I CAN SEE THROUGH TIME!) but yeah... first thing I needed to do (Against my will... I think I was promised money... I never got any) was to break up the massive amounts of bamboo in my backyard. You see, although we live in a 3 story mansion with an ocean view and two balconey's ect... the fact that you have several square metres of palm trees and bamboo that are over two stories tall in the way of your ocean view you kinda decide it's time to cut them down... especially when half of it is dead. Well that's simple enough! They're all on the ground now and someone (who is incredibly muscular) needs to help my poor old mother to snap these massive 3-4 metre long bamboo sticks of death into suitable sized pieces to be carried out of the backyard and onto the giant heap of rubbish accumulating on our front yard... (as is the custom here in Australia... No really I'm not lying... we have this bulk rubbish collection thing where we dump our rubbish like old furniture, broken TV's, trees we've cut up but have no where to put, fridges, small children we don't want ect and a big truck comes round, chews it up and compacts it and what happens then who knows!? I don't care! It get's rid of chairs and siblings I don't like! I used to live in a family of 22! There's only 6 of us left including my parents!) So I basically needed to be a sexy lumberjack (Hey ladies! Sorry I'm taken by the world's cutest woman and she'll kick and scream and make sad puppy faces if you take away her Mr Cuddles... yeah everyone else mocks me for that why not let the whole internet know?) and I broke up all those pieces of bamboo... some of them quite violently (I was hyper ok?) and my brother started a conversation about wanting to have a panda. We have lots of bamboo why not make the panda eat it? Well because it would run out very quickly... it be a hungry panda! So I suggested we simply feed it small children who come to trick or treat at our house (which I think I've mentioned doesn't happen anymore... the local children have realised they normally will die if they come to our house on halloween and rarely ever get candy in return...) but unfortunately those would run out quite quickly too... this is really sad... I WANT A PANDA! Panda's are cute! I'm stealing one from the zoo! Just like THIS video!:



yeah you like that... yeah... yeah you do...

It was then decided we weren't getting a panda... and then had to quickly get ready to go to a friends house.... now the great thing about this person is they live in the same suburb as me so shouldn't take long to get to!

... Now the only flaw with that is I don't know what my suburb looks like! And I'm starting to remind myself of someone I know (HELLO! Yeah I know you're reading this... I'm going to point this out to you just for the sake of you reading that one line! Now stop reading, everything that happens after this I've already told you) because they quite simply get around their own suburb either.... we're both very very sheltered.... and dysfunctional... Well anyway, this will be easy! I'll just take a different way than I did last time I went to her house because the other way involves walking a long way then turning a corner and doing a 180 and going along parallel to the way I just walked only backwards and I can't be bothered doing that! So I decided I'd go a different way, one that will cut a bunch of time off my trip which involves finding a path that cuts through these two parallel paths so I don't need to walk as much....

...What happened in reality is I went down a road, realised that it didn't go anywhere so I had to walk all the way back up it, find a different road, also went nowhere, wondered if that was actually indeed the road I wanted so I went down it again, I wandered around until I had NO IDEA where I was and kept making my way back and forth the same roads again and again thinking "OK I'm late... I know I'm late... and my legs hurt..." So yeah... I have lived in this suburb for about... 11 years and I get lost in it after 10 minutes of walking towards something I know where it is! Yeah... I'm a special one I am....

Anyhoo, I got there eventually and then after all that walking guess what we do? We go for a walk with the dog! (Who enjoys urinating.... he is an endless source of liquid... he doesn't stop peeing dammit! After one walk to the beach and back every bit of foliage we encountered no longer had a problem with the drought...) ok that is really fun! I can handle walking some more...

Now I won't tell you what happened during that walk... but everyone we encountered my friend seemed to know (except one guy who I knew...) and a few even asked if I was her boyfriend.... they also wondered if I was 13 :S WHAT!? I HAVE A BEARD! I'm nearly 6 feet tall, have a beard and biceps big enough to pick anyone who isn't obese up! How they thought I could possibly be 13-14 I don't know... but they are stupid... and no I wasn't her boyfriend but the way she was acting you could never tell! (She's a lot more comfortable around me than I am with her..... A LOT more comfortable...) and then we went home...

.... well... I carried her home... well... only a bit of the way but I did it to prove a point... I think... (And I did a very good job of picking her up and carrying her!)

anyhoo.... I wonder how personal this blog is becoming... I don't know... the evil terrorist (which we all know is keeping my hostage and forcing me to blog) told me to blog about friday (on friday) so I am blogging about friday! And speaking of being forced to blog about friday on a friday that's when I was blogging and it all went away... She got me a laptop and told me to blog... and hit me and stuff. She wanted me to blog a really big and long blog before she got back from some other room (I don't know where she went... in fact I have no idea what is actually in her house besides Gilmore Girls DVD's, Books, and a dog that watches me through the glass sliding door...) which we all know is impossible because I can only type so fast! So she hit me a bit..... which sounds pretty terrorist like but no... no this terrorist isn't just violent she has discovered something new! A NEW way to torture me!

...she tickles me....

...I don't know how she discovered I was like a big ball of "GEGGDGJGYIU*SPASM*" but I am... yes... I am a "big ball of "GEGGDGJGYIU*SPASM*" " OK? That's a technical term that is... anyhoo... yeah. One moment she's on msn talking about how gosh darn looking I am (The funny thing is I'm not lying!.... sorta! Well... she didn't really say it like that but it is interpreted as me being attractive in some way..... she... was probably joking :( I feel sad now.... she doesn't honestly think I'm that sexy!... which... is a good thing because I don't want her too :P) and the next moment I'm on the floor spasming like a fish of out water who is being tazered by a very very sadistic little kid who is screaming "BURN FISH BURN! WIGGLE AROUND SOME MORE!"

And then I died....

....nah I'm just kidding with you I didn't die... as much as I would've liked to for a while because I really DON'T like being tickled! It is one of the most absolutely awful sensations that I have ever experienced... I enjoy being electrocuted more than I enjoy being tickled and I know what it feels like to hook yourself up to the 240V main power and FEEL YOUR MUSCLES GET SHOCKED! It is INCREDIBLY unpleasant and PAINFUL being electrocuted... so remember kids... when people tell you don't put anything in the powerpoint or touch exposed wires or whatever the hell it is that might look like it'll hurt.... DON'T TOUCH IT! It's like a kick to the face.... all over your body... anyhoo... yes, uncontrollable spasms and a really really weird tingling sensation all over the body as ten very evil fingers somehow make their way past my flailing arms in my strange attempt to defend myself is not very fun at all... please never talk to me again I hate you and your dog... no! No I'm kidding! I forgive you for tickling me.... a lot... don't do it again....

Terrorists... they use tickle torture now... beware CIA agents and people in Iraq! Your guns will be useless against a very quick terrorist man and his feather duster! Once they get you on the ground and their on you there's nothing you can do but feel them touch you all over!... That sounds so very wrong... as it should be... because who honestly wants to be defending their country from terrorism when all of a sudden a crazy guy with a big beard jumps on you and goes "tickle tickle tickle! oh yes I'm going to touch your armpits with my wiggly fingers!"? That's just bizarre... no.... just no...

I also had to walk around afterwards but thankfully had a very kind offer to drive me home because it was raining :) Thankyou! If only you could've driven me around some more! I had much walking around to do later on in the day but I'm not blogging about that because who really needs to know what I do? Who really needs to know? You? NO! Stop... stalking me loyal fanbase! Grr! I hate you all! All you ever do is... is... appreciate me! And... read what I spent nearly an hour on writing and... and uh... being friendly... grr! It's so maddening and annoying how you laugh at the things I write even though I want some of them to be kinda funny! Bah! Grr! Agh... yes... I literally am making those noises as we speak! I am going "Bah grr agh".... what else do you think a big ball of "GEGGDGJGYIU*SPASM*" is going to do while blogging? I constantly go "bah grr agh" when blogging... I'm a broken record and I eat small children for breakfast...

I BLOGGED! Can I have some bread and water now please? I'm ever so hungry and thirsty....

On the couch with friends

......damn.....

... oh well....

I went to the beach and wrote a bunch of stuff but's gone now and Becca L. Blogmore is going to hurt me.... OW!.... I'm tired... goodnight

I'll write it later

Also, Rayne is playing with my nose right now....

hello! if someone in particular is reading this then yeah... nothings changed since last year :) And it's bloody fun....

WOOT! Bilby's and The Light!

YYEEEEEAAAHHH BABY! Guess what? I have finally finished The Light! At an impressive 9 minutes 13 seconds including credits (sorry youtube, you don't get that! You'll eventually get the lower quality version... thats 100mb large and 8 minutes 50 something) it has taken me several edits, reshoots (I don't know if I've mentioned this before but one one scene, the hardest scene, one of the most important scenes that involve the most work and editing and effort to make perfect... and I screw it up... Well you see I wasn't wearing a shirt because it would be easier just to wear the same shirt, which I had multiple ones of because it's my school shirt, and so I'm walking along with my shirt on, I step onto the road with my shirt on... I get hit by a car with my jumper on and fall to the ground with my shirt on... wait... my clothes magically changed! :O! And the annoying thing about this was I filmed it like that, watched it, reviewed it, spent ages editing it and watched it several times... when I go to show the class what I had done it comes to that scene and someone goes "you've got a jumper on"... wait... what!? DAMMIT! WHY!? So that had to be refilmed...) and I have even had to record music for it about 4 times now... but it's done... it's nice and shiny and pretty much good enough...

I had to go to a cemetary in my school uniform during the holidays and take flowers from nearby trees because I forgot to bring flowers and I had to get my mother to run me over with a car but it was worth it! It's finally done!....

.... an entire semester after it was due! It was my 3rd last day of the YEAR today (when I finished it) and I've had this as my media project since.... start of Term 2... yeah so I've had 3 quarters of the school year to do this and I've finished it.... and it didn't turn out as I had originally planned but I'm happy with what I've done. It's just a school project and I think I did pretty well considering all the bad things that have happened! So yay! :D

OH! Oh! Guess what!? Free dress tomorrow! Yes, poor old us (Here in Australia) have these things called Uniforms (as mentioned above) and so we have to spend about one minute each day going "hmm... wear white shirt with blue pants... or other white shirt with blue pants...." (Upper school really messes with you... you get the option of Blue Jumper with white shirt, Blue and White striped Jumper with White Shirt and for Year 12's they have Blue with White Sleeved Jumper with White Shirt... MY WORD! Had there been more than two colours no one would be able to make up their mind and the entire population of teenagers would be 20 minutes late for school!) but tomorrow we get the choice of wearing whatever we want!.... within reason... (I cannot wear a bikini... but I can wear... MY PYJAMAS! :D OH I'M SO DOING THAT! And for those who know me... you know I will... as I have done this previously... I have danced to Green Day in the middle of the Swan river in my pyjama's and tomorrow I shall dress in my Trench Coat and Pyjamas and become Tom Baker's 4th Doctor meets Arthurt Dent :D Because British TV and Literary characters are awesome!)

But the very fact that I get to wear something very odd isn't the point... nor the real source of my excitement... for you see we need to give a gold coin donation if we want to wear clothes.... of our choice... Now all you Americans think that's abismal having to pay to be allowed to wear something that isn't white with a school emblem on it... but get over it! We don't care! And this particular charity that the school is donating to... is purely awesome...

It's going to save...

...The Bilby...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BOOYAH!

YES! Finally! Come on people bring your gold coin donations! (Once again, Americans have 1 dollar notes... we have 1 and 2 dollar gold coins... made of real gold... we're rich! Nah just kidding :P) It also goes to save this other native Australian animal which has a weird name I don't know how to spell... but trust me it's cute, it's adorable, it's endangered, it will hunt you down and scratch at you and lick the soles of your feet until you submit unless you donate money! So yeah... tomorrow I am going to do my part to help preserve our amasing and wonderful native Fauna because we really do have such interesting, wonderful and unique native animals that really should be round for years and years to come. They truly are wonderful I adore them all (except for drop bears... yeah Americans... fear the drop bear! It shall eat your face... at night the screams of many a victim of the drop bear still haunt me to this very day...) so let's all just try not to kill them shall we? I love them :) I want them to have babies... so there'll be more of them... just... not with me...

Anyhoo! Well also, NEW BLOG! NEW BLOG! NEW BLOG! NEW BLOG!

Think I've made what's coming up next clear? NEW BLOG!

http://ramblingsofcornflakes.blogspot.com/

Yes, It is my NEW BLOG! It currently only has two authors though... but I'm trying to get more of my friends to contribute to it... So you know if you enjoy this blog (and even if you don't!) you should go pay it a visit... it's quite small right now with only 3 posts on it but it will get bigger... and shinier... it's co-authored by me and The High Priestess of Wikipedia so trust me when she starts blogging you'll love it :) (Just like a furry animal!) It's basically a collection of random blogs so yeah... go visit it sometime and check back after a week or two when it might have a new entry to it...

Have a nice day :)
