Update on BoD and... Life...

Yes as tired as I am I've decided to do a MINI-BLOG! (Yes, that's right, I remember that MINI-BLOG is always in capitals :P) and well OK Bilby of Death the machinima series has stopped production sadly... for starters no one can be bothered organising a time to meet up, it's dificult and well my friends are now against each other I think... so in the interests of keeping everyone alive off screen I'm not going to continue writing the series (nearly 6 episodes! Finally getting somewhere with it! :P) until I can guarantee a determined and seemless workforce for getting this project done... on the subject of machinima my Warcraft the un-life is going well... minus the fact that all the audio (which took forever to get) is really poor quality so curses! foiled again...

I... don't... like... the wind... I love the rain we all know I love rain but when you have to get up at 6:40 in the morning to walk to school (which you never do because normally you're driven somewhere so you can catch a bus at a reasonable time) in what feels like a sub-zero wind in the middle of winter you start thinking "gee... this isn't fun"...

... and you're probably right it's not. Oh well suck it up because I don't care :P yeah that's right this is MY MINI-BLOG and I can complain about anything I want!

POKEMON!

Is seriously... messed up OK we all know that in the games small children are allowed to go round gambling and animal fighting without their parents and that sounds messed up enough as it is... but you know I love youtube and I hope you do too... and so for some bizzarre reason that I don't remember I thought looking up banned segments of our favourite childhood TV show would be fun and interesting and it is (as interesting as looking up youtube videos on dial up speed internet can be) but OK watching a scene that is banned because it has guns being held to people's head is interesting and even amusing but then there's this...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnSarYc3MCQ&NR=1

Yeah... yeah I... don't remember that during the children's english version of the series back when it was on TV at 7:30 in the morning just before I used to go to school. Remember when children's TV was actually for children? I know you can go back to H.R. Puff 'N' Stuff and find so many links and similarities to drugs but you know... that video right there is proof that sometimes the writers forget that they're not on the adult channel anymore...

Great now I'm hooked on weird banned childrens TV...

Nostalgia

Note: This has a point (for once) and if you get bored skip to the bottom to find out the point. Thankyou I hope you enjoy the hell that I've prepared for you! mwahahaha you have to read my blog now or I eat your soul...

Yeah have you ever decided that when your personal documents folder is over 50 gig when you're in a family of 6 and the entire "My Documents" folder is only 86 gig large and the computer is running out of space (mainly because of YOU! You're a hoarder! stop hoarding bytes!) and you've got over 9000 files alone... you kinda need to start clearing out the junk? Especially when 1000 of those are lolcat pictures? (I'm kidding I love my 1000 lolcat pictures I want to be a crazy cat lady when I grow up... and so does my girlfriend :P) Yeah then you decide to go through your junk and get rid of a few things that you don't need anymore and you're never going to read or produce or even look at because they remind you so much of what Goth Whitlam did to the economy you just feel like setting things on fire? yeah... yeah I don't... understand that last one but I have so much junk and I don't even know how I got 9000+ files but ok I do. Some of these files are really old... I have pictures of Neopets and I don't even go on Neopets and haven't in many many years...

Oh well, I don't even remember why but I decided to go through my word files (oh yes! That's it was trying to find a novel I was writing and wanted to write some more but can't be bothered now) and discovered an old piece of... well gibberish really that I wrote ages ago it says "last modified 16th July 2006" which means it's older than that because I remember modifying it quite a while after making it. Well it too was once a story like everything else in my head but it soon became too hard to salvage what I had written into anything with an actual story or substance (and keep in mind I wrote this when I was 13 as a joke therefore now real effort was put into it plus... I was 13.... if a 13 year old can't be bothered putting effort into it then you know it's bad) but it was funny at the time to me so I kept it... and I've kept it all these years. It is truly one of the weirdest things I have ever written since my 72 page Lord Of The Rings parody which is complete and utter gibberish with plot twists you'll never see coming including the ressurection of Alf, an invasion of Middle Earth by a Duck no one can see besides the alien mutant space monkeys and then there's the fact that all the characters are drug addicted weirdo's especially Legolas that is now a raging psychopath who team kills for fun if there's not enough enemies around to satisfy is raging bloodlust! Yes.... I recently read it and seeing how it is kinda amusing I thought I'd share it with you today just so you know that you're WASTING YOUR LIFE people! Coming to a mere child for entertainment you're all SICK! Especially you! Yeah you know who I'm talking about... and by the way I'm glad you're keeping your hair that length it looks good on you...

Anyhoo this is entitled The History of Fire and Flight by... me! (Yeah nice try stalkers) and if anyone is currently trying to research the actual history of flight (because who researches the history of fire?) then I'm sorry... please pretend you're doing work by reading my blog... It's only fair that I try entertaining you when you've tried so hard to make it look like you haven't got everything off Wikipedia and are googling things and found this.... and please remember I was very young and I do actually have writing and comedic talent... I just choose not to show it for the sake of you lesser people :P mwahahaha!... I've been told my... emails can be amusing sometimes :(

HISTORY OF FIRE AND FLIGHT!

Since the dawn of time, (6:42am) man has been fascinated with shiny things, and flight. Join me as I go through the history of this fascination…

Shiny things have interesting and amused people across the globe for all eternity. It all started in biblical times when the Earth was created and man discovered the first shiny object… fire. Fire was untouchable; all those who tried got severely burnt.
Later, the idea of touching fire was abandoned for a safer and shiner substance… metal.
Metal was a nice and hard shiny thing, also good for killing people. Humans nearly died out over night.
More metals were found and one day, the greatest invention of all time was invented… the buffer. This buffer could re-shine un-shiny metals! Its inventor was considered a god and one day fell off a cliff.
That concludes the history of shiny things.
Flight. That has a longer and more realistic history. It all started one day in a November. A man woke up and decided I’ll jump off my cliff and flap my arms! He was considered a genius at the time.
He was never found, so they assumed that his flapping worked.
The human race almost became extinct overnight… again.
Later, man decided that you needed wings to fly. There where wrong of course, but if cameras had been invented back then than they could of one a prize on whatever country they’re from “funniest videos show”. But the camera hadn’t so they had to find an unfunded way to learn to fly.
They put wings on bikes. Then they rode off cliffs. By that time the cliff was rapidly becoming a hill. (Half rock and half bodies)
Then one-day, people all of a sudden got smart, and invented a plane.
Soon, people didn’t care about flying through air anymore. They wanted to explode in space! The final frontier! The greatest place a man can die! The easiest place to clean up the mess! So they threw away their bikes, fake wings and cliffs. The race to the moon began. Some people didn’t quite understand the “race” part thought it involved running so they ran up ramps and over spare cliffs that they found at the rubbish dump.
The human race almost died out overnight, again.
But some people were not as stupid as the general population and invented the rocket. But this didn’t compensate for the fact that there’s no air in space. The military closed the books on this one and no one ever spoke of it again. Then one day they built a second rocket that succeeded in taking living things up and back from space alive. This disappointed many of the suicidal population and so they decided to kill themselves because their right to kill themselves had been taken away.
Man was now smart and could go anywhere between here and the moon. But that wasn’t good enough, man wanted to touch the stars. (The stars are after all shiny) Then they remembered their ancestors and fire… shiny fire… that was shiny… ooh… shiny…
If only if they had learned from fire…

Fire has forced people to learn. Unless they are REALLY thick and just keep touching it over and over again until they have no hands left. Then they use their arms and then their shoulders and eventually face but you would probably be dead by then so always try it in a government building if you feel the urge to touch fire constantly. After all… I don’t know where I’m going with this… back to flying. Now that we’ve got rockets that can take us to the moon we just have to find a way to make them go even further.
This can be achieved by putting even more (HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE) rocket fuel in the rockets.
People like HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE materials. Especially when they have nice big red signs above them telling that they are HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE and DANGEROUS! DO NOT TOUCH! But they soon change those signs from being a warning sign to the next satellite orbiting the earth. This tends to make those people at NASA very upset. That rocket fuel had a wife and kids!
BOOM!
Not anymore…
The point is… ok let me rephrase that…………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………… things go boom… and then people… die… yeah… that’s it.. That’s…. the point I’m trying to get through….. People die a lot…. Yeah… not because of me in any way….

So flight and shiny things are interconnected in a complex way that I haven’t explained at all and if you feel the urge to jump off a cliff you will join the ranks of those who made the first step (and long fall) to flight (or… another way how NOT to fly) and you will always be remembered as some random idiot that went crazy and killed himself… unless of course no one actually knows who you are and then you’re just some random idiot but at least it’ll FEEL like you’re flying until you go splat and there goes your chance of being Jewish. You won’t be in one piece now!



Now for some subliminal messages….
(This jump is not off a subliminal cliff message)
(Don’t start JUMPING OFF CLIFFS because it IS not FUN!)
JUMP! You know you want to….


I do not condone violent or suicidal behaviour in any way and JUMPing OFF CLIFFS ISn’t my idea of FUN…. Thankyou for reading this… no one else did… you are weird you know that?


----

OK! Yes... I'm... leaving now and oh wow that was a fascinating little look at the me that once was (hello past me! Can't get a girlfriend can you? :P nyah nyah nyah! I can... I'm awesome girl's like me... sometimes.... when I'm not drunk) and yes OK as you can see I was weird back then just as I am now but you see I like looking back at me sometimes and you should too (looking back at yourselves not back at me when I was a child that's creepy... stop stalking me from the past just because it's a fantasy that crosses time doesn't make it right!) because it's interesting to see how we develop and obviously back then I didn't have much of a complex grasp on humour... my ideas are simplistic (yet sadistic, oh I like that :P) and somewhat repeditive I look back on this and the only thing I find funny is the explosions and the constant extinction of the human race and sometimes repeating yourself can be funny in this case it is but I think that's just luck because all of it is rather just blurted out and in the end breaks down completely from something semi-smart sounding portrayed as a satirical look at the lazyness and erractic ingenuiety yet ultimate stupidity of mankind... that turns into a joke about subliminal messages about jumping off a cliff. I don enjoy this but looking back I wasn't really that funny as compared to now I like me now :P But oh! I do enjoy the little similarities between then and now and how I haven't changed because at the end (No really I wrote that last bit nearly 2 whole years ago) where it says "Thankyou for reading this… no one else did… you are weird you know that?" which I find amazing that my total lack of confidence and expectations in the people around me to enjoy or care about the things I do (instant freedom! Dare me to get on that table? Yeah don't care I'm doing it anyway) that I back then thought no one would read what I said and I still constantly say in this blog how little I think people are paying attention and so far I think that this has been a reccurring and constant theme in my life which... we could psychoanalyse if we had time but you know... I don't have any degrees in that area so I'll just say I find is fascinating that I honestly do not have the self esteem to think that anyone out there will pay attention to me unless they are equally or more weird than I am...

That's... kinda lonely... and sad... hug me? please? :P nah get away from me stop... touching my body you... internet... people... yeah that's right being from the internet is now an insult to you! which ironically is an insult to me too from your point of view (Irony is something I have now grasped and embraced full heartedly in my comedy) so you know... go away now goodbye! Go find a site that really can help you about the history of flight (hint: balloons...)


P.S. EDIT! It IS ironic what I just said because to the reader I am an internet person (person from the in-ter-net) and here I am insulting internet people (in-ter-net peo-ple... who are of the person kind....) and so anyone out there NOT GETTING IT you now know why I ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING! AND I'M SAYING IT LOUDLY!

... You also have wasted you're life for caring about that... but you did (I know you did...)

I Am The Alterna-Bilby

It's time for a social experiment children... mwahahaha....

Oh yes it's been obvious from the dawn of youtube that bloggers are undeniably popular for some reason I seriously don't get! So seeing how I am against blogging in all it's forms especially Vlogging, which I find an abismal and unimaginative form of entertainment even lower than midday TV sitcoms during the summer, I have been left out of this little gold mine of attention (GIVE ME ATTENTION! RAR RAR WOOO BING DINGLE!) because I don't have any Vlogs (OK like... one) and refuse to tarnish my channel with the like of them without mocking them immensely I have decided that I will consider (nothing is definite and that you can be sure of! :P) making an alternative account where instead of making scripted comedy which I work hard on and use to practice my skills as a film maker (I'm getting better) I shall make pointless Vlogs! Vlogs until your head explodes... and trust me it will because I can talk about so many weird things and I shall compete with myself in a glorious showdown the likes of which you've never seen since those two guys in the movie Fight Club... yeah you know what i'm talking about... I think one of thier names was Tyler... anyhoo we shall see who gains popularity faster! Me or alterna-Me! Who shall win? place your bets now... because... I like... gambling...

woo! I have yet to come up with an alternate account name but i'll think of one :P and it'll be good!

Editing and BoD Update

JUNE 19th!? I've been away so long... I've left my trusting blogger audience of... zero... alone without a blog for nearly an entire month!? How can anyone ever forgive me!? I implore you for forgiveness even if you profess to care I'll still- anyway enough pitiful behaviour (mwahaha bow before me! For I've got a hold of your ankles! Begging... ultimate stealth for the ankle grabber) I'm here to talk to you people about Editing! (dramatic music plays) Oh I love this song it's so dramatic! Anyhoo (is that even a real word?) I've decided that if I'm ever going to get round to making new videos it'll be during this short 2 week holiday I have so I'm editing a little video done with my delightful old grandmother who is truly wonderful (hello! If you ever read this then how on earth did you figure out how to turn the computer on let alone get one!? Old people and technology!? SMS texts are never safe again...) and I've realised that in the final scene (there's only two it's kinda major here) there's a conversation... and she has more lines than I do... and for some reason they aren't written down on the script so I say something, she says something in response, she says something else as in response to something else and then I say something else that isn't a response to what she said... she's saying more than she's supposed to and I'm saying less than I'm supposed to...

But never fear! For I am a great editor and shall bring you hilarity in the form of... patched together clips salvaged from a debacle I can only fix through the magic that is my editing skills.... refilming bits are out of the question because she's moved house so oh well...

Bilby of Death. Oh yes it's coming along nicely in script form now has nearly 5 whole episodes, finally has a story to it and I have no idea how hard this will be to make... we'll see how the first episode goes and then work from there and if it turns out to be too dificult you're going to have a massive wrapping up in two episodes the likes of which you've never seen since Hellsing! Which was wrapped up pretty quickly and not all the loose ends were tied up... I want more Hellsing! And I don't like the OVA's too much they're done differently... OK in some bit's theyve done the fighting really well but then there's the other aspects where they made the character's too generically cartoony instead of gothic bluesy that was the charm of the Hellsing series... or at least that's what I think it should be like...

Yay! The Light shall shine!

YES! WOOOO!!!! Oh the sweet sweet taste of coincedence and chance that God has given us! Oh! Thankyou who ever out there has saved me! As you may have read (below) I lost my storyboard and oh I don't think I stressed the importance of that work considering how my production was nowhere near finished so the teacher needed to mark me on that instead... and it was worth %50 of my ENTIRE mark for the semester which basically mean's half of the entire course basically. Next semester we start a new one so looking forward to that but anyhoo back to the %50 mark worth storyboard that SOMEONE (who isn't really to blame come back safely from.. road island? no... some... french place I don't know but if you're reading then just know I expect you to have fun!... when you actually leave which you haven't... but that's OK I forgive you for LOSING ALL my work!) had "misplaced" on the back of someone's parked car... yes in a desperate attempt to patch this catastrophe together and get as many marks as possible I re-did 2-3 weeks worth of work in 2 days during my precious weekend and handed it to the teacher on time unlike most of the class... the next day...

... someone comes knocking on the door with a plastic sleeve with my name on it and handed it to me. Excited to see it's contents I nearly hugged the poor messenger (but refrained because it's weird, creepy, that guy is annoying anyway, and i was too busy holding my preeeecciiouuusss) when i realised that it contained my lost storyboard! None of it had blown away in the wind none of it had been lost it was all there intact! Whoever owned the car had realised it was on the back before they had driven away and handed it in to the front office and oh it had been returned to me! My sweet glorious work!... that... kinda made my weekend a complete waste of time... that's jsut great but it is back! I love it in it's entirety although it has become somewhat outdated and kinda off considering I thought of extra shots, abolished old ones and improved the middle scene because of the prior events/apathy/stroke of genius (which I so totally am) so I now have twicve the amount of storyboarding that everyone else has! So although there's 108 shots drawn on that storyboard the amount will change slightly.

The Light! Oh it is going so well it's nearly finished the editing is totally sweet although I have abandoned Adobe Premier Elements 3.0 to work on a more familiar yet instantly and obviously inferior editing program: Windows movie maker. The only reason for this is because of two things. One) I don't need adobe for anything except for one shot now that I have discontinued a certain aspect of the film which I forgot to compensate for during filming so can't do that plus it's too dificult in the ending scene so I've ignored the entire special effects aspect. Plus I know how to do split screen in movie maker and not adobe and YES I did just say "I can do split screen in windows movie maker"! No don't laugh at me just because you're an idiot I am a very talented and motivated media student (who unfortunately is ranked 3 not 1... damn you other 2 people beating me by just a few marks! Curse you and your neater handwriting!) who has cleverly found a way to add the split screen effect as a transition by adding it to the subfolders in the program files in the C drive. If anyone understood that or wants to know what that means so they can get the split screen effect without paying for a fancy new editing program simply type into google (or yahoo, mahalo ect) "AddOnTFX split screen" which should give you instructions on how to get it for free! Or just email me and i can get you the exact website after a bit of searching to save you time but meh... So yeah basically all the media students at my highschool have ME to thank for getting whatshisname to add that transition to the media room.
Two) Adobe is a piece of junk on the school computers. The irony is the worst and oldest comp in the entire media room has version 6.0 but can't run it properly it's so slow and old! It has a floppy disk drive! So basically even the newer ones can't even run the darn program if you have more than one stream of audio or video at the same time so it will freeze if you try overlapping two things which sucks because I need to do that! But if you don't do that it'll just mess up eventually anyway so I got annoyed at having to restart the computer every five minutes when it messed up and I hadn't done much. I don't even think it ever saves my work anyway I keep opening it and nothing shows up... doen't save anything!

So besides the fact that the computers don't work I think I've done pretty well it's looking pretty good the shots and framing are mainly all right although some of the sound is kinda annoying as hell and there's a smudge on the camera lense in one of the scenes and oh I keep finding really small things wrong with it like when someone is holding something. They pick it up with one hand then in the next shot they're holding it with two hands. That little glitch always gets me it's quite annoying. Also some of the settings on the camera were annoying so the scenes with the light get blurry randomly for a second or the light is coming from the wrong angle so I'm just really dark. But I love it it's my lovechild with the media departments camera's and I'm going to make it better... ish... It's still pretty good and I hope to actually edit in some miscelaneous sounds soon!

GAAHHH! urge to vent

OK currently I have a media project that I'm making which is for once not a comedy but a very serious drama about death and depression entitled "The Light" and being in upperschool now I get to take the camera's home! Oooooh! Finally the chance to do realistic storylines and more complex ideas that make sense! OK first step: Scriptwriting! OK that was pretty easy although did go through at least 3 different ideas (most of which involved death some how) before settling on "The Light" (previous ideas include "untitled" and "Zeljko") Step two: Storyboarding! OK no simple storyboard for me I'm going to draw the entire dam thing shot for shot! All 118 shots! Yes took me about two weeks to do that, hours and hours of work but in the end it was pretty good and I liked it... then came step three: filming and this is where the stress begins...

OK for this film I need a very specific room in the school which has a spotlight in it. The drama room to be exact. OK the problem with this is for at least a week after me finishing the storyboard it was being used and intermittedly when we needed it ect not to mention sometime's it was just plain locked. Extreme "grr" to that little set back but no worries we got that filming done and imported it onto the computer! Step four: Editing! OK worked easy enough getting the footage onto the computer... opened up the school's brand new copy of Adobe Premier Effects 3.0 and everything went fine... up until the point where I pressed "play" and turned out ALL the audio was at least an octave too high.... yes things instantly stop being dramatic/depressing and sombre as soon as someone goes "I'm dead" in a CHIPMUNK VOICE! BAH! OK not to worry the file itself is perfectly fine it's just the program screwing up OK let's try a different computer....

... no wait that doesnt work either! Unfortunately the effects needed for this story, although simple, need a more complex editing program than windows movie maker! totaly piece of junk adobe! I trusted you with my media project! My only assessment of the term! My hobby my future career my time and effort into your abilities and you fail me....

... you failed me Adobe... you must now die....

Anyhoo editing problems aside which was stressful as anything there was still filming to do with the lovely and wonderful actress who I had hired (as in "hey do u want to be in my media project?" "yeah sure") so we sat there waiting until everyone had gone home to do the first scene (which involves having no one around) so we sat and talked and laughed and it was fun it was a lot of fun really it helped relieve the stress of having to deal with Adobe not working and my assessment being due very very soon. It went well there were no real problems and after that we went to her house to film a different scene....

.... got inside, opened bag "Hey what did you do with the storyboard and script?" "I thought you had it" ... and that's when it dawned on us... that it was 20 minutes away by car... on the boot of someone's car... at school... and it was a bit windy. Oh and its Friday today! so we won't know what happened to TWO WEEKS OF NONSTOP WORK for at least two whole days now! :D

Halfway mark...

Yes i've reached the 50 video mark... only took me 15 months and I'm only going stronger and faster than when I started with even better videos than before... but yes I am looking forward to the 100 video mark as much as I fear it... because there's only 50 videos left... until it all changes...

... just 50 more... come on people don't forget to subscribe for the end if nothing else :P you will love it just as much as I will hate what must be done... I've got a contract can't back out of it now :D and very few people know what this thing is... but the rest of you don't... and I can't tell you it'll ruin the surprise... and trust me it's not what you think :P well for those who actually go to my youtube channel just so you know a timer will appear on the end of the descriptions of all my videos. For example:

countdown timer: 50

Now... enjoy the countdown!

EXAMS ARE OVER!

YES THEY ARE! That's right! :P Yes thank goodness the hell is over... the hell of having to only go to school 3 hours a day for five out of ten school days and only ever getting up at times past 10 and only carrying around a few pens and sometimes a calculator that is... yes what's really going to be hell for me is having to get up at 7:20 in the morning (sunlight? sunlight!? You expect me to get up the same time the sun does!?) and carrying around a bag that weighs more than a small child filled with more books than can phsyically fit in it. Oh yes back to the land and fiery punishment of period after period of homework, assignments and having to look at my timetable (which I can never remember) every hour just to know where to go...

So basically I enjoyed exams a lot more than normal school! haha! Yes although Drama exams where a bit... ugh... no-hopery (who says that...? besides a character in the play I was analysing) but other than that it was a fun filled exercise in patience, ability to be silent, and a test to see just how many obviously stupid answers I could write in the two and a half hours given...

... yes... that's right....

.... stupid answers... :D

OK! Now maybe you think "these are your exams! Why are you deliberately saying stupid things in them if you are so supposedly brilliant and smart and wonderful and intelligent and knowledgable and totally awesome?" OK maybe... not so many adjectives or even... as positive sounding as that but yes I made some pretty deliberate stupid answers.. deliberately! :P Yes most of them were during my Maths exam mainly because I really don't pay much attention to maths so I was pretty bored after an hour once I had run out of things I knew how to do with another hour to go on the clock. Determined not to leave (The bus wouldn't come for a long time so sitting here in case I realised how to do calculus seemed a lot better than an empty busstop... with no pens and papers...) so I wrote a haiku! Oh yes... when asked to find the gradient of a tangent on a curve at a certain point I decided to write a poem.

Tanget on the curve
Is annoying me a lot
It can burn in hell

yay! 40% here I come! woooo! But that's not all! Yes don't worry I didn't skimp on the stupid answers. When asked about a balloon that rises at an decreasing rate and when does it stop? Well of course it continues going up for ever until its had infinite time to go up and infininth of any measurement... but this isn't actually physically possible (it IS the answer though) so I decided to say that... "given infinite time it will go on into infinity but that isn't actually physically possible but seeing how this is maths and isn't physics/reality then it doesn't matter" Of course to back up my prediction it'll go on into infinity I drew a pretty picture of a balloon leaving earth and going into space! also quoted buzz lightyear "to infinity and beyond!" but maybe the markers might take that far too literal... hopefully not I don't want the comment to say "you can't go to infinity then beyond... now that's just stupid! And physically impossible" I want it to say "we're mathematicians! We don't know what reality IS! Seriously... what's the mathematical formula for reality? There is none therefore reality does not exist! I can prove this mathematically..."
Also describing the curve on a graph... OK I KNOW it means is it a minimum or a maximum but who can resist the temptation to write "Curved, pretty eliptical. Like a very long half of an egg"? I sure can't...
And of course every single question I didn't understand AT ALL let alone the words in the question I answered as "42" because it's maths! and 42 is a legitimate answer for any question as fans of Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy know... so I think I derserve marks for that.
Also on the back I noticed it said "The End" at the bottom in small letters but you know... it's never the end... maths never dies maths never sleep you can never... ever... escape maths... (It wants to marry you) so I wrote a little self-parodying advertisement! "The End!!... or is it??? tune in next week for more EXCITING MATHS ERRORS! Only on Fox!" and so hopefully I'll get those lovely red circles and question marks the teachers are fond of giving out :P Nah they're pretty stingy when it comes to red circles and question marks... Did however get a smily face on my maths test on Logarithms when I drew a (well done) log with an axe above it. Then a logarithm made of pronumerals: Log aX=E... oh yes... I am very nerdy my friend and I make up random maths jokes in class (It's better than actually doing maths!) and hopefully one day I'll be able to get a shirt that says "m(Ur mum) > infinity" which... doesn't make sense unless you realise that "m" stands for "mass" so basically I'm just saying ur momma so fat she has more than infinite mass! oooooh buurn... yes the nerd so burnt you... do you need some dry ice? :P

Which brings mean to chemistry answers. OK name two uses for oxygen "keeping everything on the planet alive" was one of them. I didn't do so many stupid answers as I did random drawings afterwards. Yes... meet the creator of Pac-Cube! All the round goodness of Pac-Man... in a square! :P And also meet Squarie... the song of Pinkie the ghost. Also, pac-cube narrowly escaped destruction from an atom bomb made from... (dun dun dun) carbon 14! oh noooeesss! carbon 14 is radioactive!? who would've thunk it?

English Lit... OK anyone who knows the story of Oedipus the King knows that it's full of Irony and lots of people tried to stopped Oedipus's fate (including trying to kill him) so I was talking about this in an essay and said all thier efforts could not stop his fate. Epic Fail. Yes... I wrote "Epic Fail" as a whole sentence in my english lit exam...

Yes well that was my silly answers to stupid questions... or... just me getting an "Epic Fail" on my feedback for semester one exams! yay! It's finally all over so I can get back to making videos for my youtube channel! yes... "Pwnage By grandma" is coming your way sometime soon! Yeah you better believe my grandmother has recon armor :P

Little Things

OK just... forget everything I was going to blog about but I thought I'd just... give someone out there some advice and that is... don't forget to appreciate the little things in life :P Yes seemingly generic and cliche advice but unlike you... I know what it means and one day you might too! or... alternatively your one of my close friends reading this and you're going "oh yes... haha I get it" or a certain person who will just go "awwww" but that's my semi-metaphorical and sleep deprived advice for that day...

... i hope you enjoyed my MINI-BLOG! and yes MINI-BLOG must always be in caps... because MINI-BLOG'S need to compensate for being MINI... and for being a blog gee imagine the self esteem issues you'd have if you were a blog...

CB Update: Machinima: BoD

Yes I am now updating people on upcoming projects of mine and first things first... machinima. I love it.. to the extent that... I watch it... sometimes... well I only ever watch roosterteeth machinima such as redvsblue and reconstruction (woo! reconstruction part two out now! it's awesome and totally changed my expectations of what's to come) so basically... i'm doing a Halo Machinima entitled "Bilby of Death" and for further blog title's for space it's (as shown in this blogs title) BoD. Yes I thought I wouldn't work on it until after exams but I got bored with revising chemistry I already knew so I went upstairs and wrote nearly four pages of the pilot and so far have developed a few characters. There's, of course, Bilby of Death (As he is known) or Bilby for short (Big surprise I abreviate when writing the same name over and over) who is... well I can't really reveal too much about his character (and probably should change the beginning it's... kinda ruined the plot instantly) but he is known as an expert gun slinger and carries around a sniper rifle and pistol as his weapons of choice.

Agent White Snake: Part of the R.E.D, and has a strange... attraction... to his car (A warthog) which is kinda very unsual and frankly, disturbing to the other characters. He also has been in antartica for some reason unknown to us and isn't a morning person.

George: (Name alterable in the future) Is a simple man yet irritated at the life he leads inside the building, surrounded by his many guns. So far all he has done has complain that he's stuck there... so... maybe he'll get shot later on I don't know... Maybe he'll become annoying... he can go anywhere at this point in time.

SJ: (Name definitely altered in the future) Is... just there really he seems to be the one keeping George at bay, stopping the guy from getting too annoyed reminding him why he's here but he, like George, also resents White Snake and is disturbed by WS's strange attraction to driving his car around while yelling "yeehaw faster baby!"

Frasbert: Yes... yes frasbert you are in this... (how else will i make this without your Xbox?) and you basically so far are plotting something but we don't know what it is! You also don't like Bilby for some reason and don't want him in your way.

Mother: Verbally abusing and probably on steroids... don't worry she'll do more than just yell at Bilby she might even lift a gun in the future :P

Also this isn't actually my first idea for a machinima and probably won't be the first machinima you see from me but I don't have time to go into detail about my other one but I will just go through some of the details and I hopefully will get these done sometime in the future (I have so many other projects and schoolwork to do beforehand but thats OK my friends are enthusiastic about this for once) So far the maps I've chosen are Last resort and Valhalla but there might be some other maps included. Also, because yes, i know, this is yet ANOTHER one of the multiple Halo 3 machinima's I am a bit uneasy going into this project as my first published machinima so, like I said, I hopefully will have released my Warcraft machinima (no it's NOT a World of Warcraft Machinima you idiots out there thinking Warcraft means WoW... there is a game called Warcraft that doesnt cost money every month to play... you know... like normal games... the ones worth playing) which is called Warcraft: The Un-Life.... which will be explained in the actual video. Both of these are upcoming miniseries (yes a SERIES! yay! finally a recurring linear storyline!) for my youtube channel...

... proving just how nerdy I am... I did my media investigation on sci-fi and fantasy films roles in society and progression in history and used machinima as a new form of film-making... and got a pretty high mark so being called a nerd really isn't going to get to me much.

P.S. Yes both of them are comedies although BoD is semi-serious and less outrageous and eccentric as my other videos. so look forward to them in the distant future!

Blogging about Blogging

Whoa! Blogging is now healthy for me! :P glad i'm finally doing something healthy for myself... well... unless you count sleep as healthy (I sure do! I enjoy sleep i think i'll go do it some more after this blog... for... about 15 hours) OK I checked wikipedia (source of all knowledge and lord and master of the internets) on it's article on what a "Blog" is and guess what? it has one! It also has an article on "Noob" "Pwn" and "Lol" which just goes to show you just how utterly... pointless wikipedia really is... but anyhoo yes blogging is healthy! According to wikipedia "scientists have known long about the therapeutic benefits of writing about personal experiences." (and they only tell us this now!? what else have those sneaky scientists been withholding from us? I bet the know how to time travel too....) and Blogs are a way for this... a better new, more public way that totally owns your private diary! why just let your sneaky younger siblings know your personal life when the ENTIRE WORLD can know YOUR opinion!? :P the answer... who knows!? Scientists probably! And so blogging increases immune cell activity and reduces viral load in AIDS patients... o...k... as soon as i get AIDS... i'll start blogging about it so i can live longer... but blogging also improves memory and sleep aparently which is good because i dont remember how to get out of this room so i'm blogging until someone can tell me what a door is :P I am also very tired... maybe i should stop getting up so early in the morning (as in.... in the actual morning. I know... pretty early huh?) to reduce my tiredness levels or not spend my time blogging in the night (new hobby! it's better than kitten drowning...) but i mean.... that's too much work i'll just blog about nothing so I become a well balanced and emotionally calm individual who is adept at meeting people! wait... no that's... not the benefits of blogging that's the benefits of... not blogging... oh... oh well... hmm... well you know remembering stuff is pretty good considering i've got exams on tomorrow (and a few days before today! whoa! scientists give me the secret of timetravel pls?) and staying awake will probably help....

... this just means you're never getting rid of me internet! hahaha! I have discovered therapeutic blogging and so i shall blog about... something... eventually... maybe one day!

anyone who is willing to challenge this idea that blogging is good for you or wants to learn more about it just simply read this article: http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=the-healthy-type&sc=rss then either complain to them because you want your opinion heard (then... why are you against blogs?) or just accept what the media tells you and blog more! mwahahaha! blogging!

Burning Water

Ok sure hoping that... shows up properly very new to all of this... anyhoo yes Can Water Burn? OF COURSE NOT! what kind of dumb question is that? A question dumb enough for me to put to the test with my trusty double A batteries! OK quite a while ago youtube had a video featured on it's homepage about an experiment where someone sets water on fire in the way shown in the video above (a recreation by me) but you see.. it's not possible although it was quite fun to watch and dream about the ability to turn water into fire it's just not possible... although the idea behind it is: where u seperate water into hydrogen and oxygen and set those two gasses on fire giving you... water.. so water is a byproduct of an experiment not the fuel for one. I would just like to say that after trying and failing this... can everyone just SHUT UP! garw6sh! I did the experiment exactly the same don't try and tell me "maybe the batteries were flat" or "u wasted ur time staring at a cup for 40 minutes" because NO! no I didn't as many sad nerds with no life have already explained to me: water does not burn (Oh... my... gosh... REALLY!?) and no liquids burn it is the vapour coming off them (that's why petrol burns, because it evaporates quickly) and so that in mind... anyone trying to point the scientific flaws in this experiment is an idiot... because although u r smart enough to realise the problems with it... ur dumb enough to think I don't after being told it several times... even though i didn't even need that because i have already proved it doesn't work. So yes although this is an old video i think it's about time people stop trying to tell me wether or not it works or how i went wrong or why i wasted my time...

.... none of u get the fact that this is a joke... can't you see that i'm mocking the experiments premise by not taking the video seriously? I pretend to use a match as a cigarrete! I am not being serious at all in the video as I do a serious experiment thus not just proving anyone who believes it's real false but mocking them in the process by making an idiot of myself yet still proving it wrong. If an idiot who burns himself and has dificulty lighting a match can do the experiment perfectly and still prove you wrong don't you see that it means that it's not possible? Isn't the very idea of it too ridiculous for anyone to even believe?

Also, another thing can everyone STOP telling me that yes the splitting of water into hydrogen and ozygen will allow the gasses to burn? Yes it's true that enough current going through the water will split it and then you can get the two gasses and burn them but that's NOT THE POINT of this experiment! The point of my experiment is to see if you can burn WATER through the method DEMONSTRATED! And burning hydrogen... isn't burning water... hydrogen is lighter than air so any hydrogen you produce will float away too fast for it to create a visible flame (If any flame at all) therefore anyone who thinks I did it wrong... doesn't know what they are talking about, and is wrong themselves. So yes please watch my most popular video (when this blog was posted) on youtube with a less serious than inquisitive manner than you normally would with a different video about a scientific experiment. What i say is definitive I have thought about this any fault you find is a fault in your reasoning and you're missing the point.

Fish prt 2

OK don't worry if you haven't read the previous blog entitled "Fish" that has nothing to do with this one except that at the end it says "I was going to write something about fish" which.. was the point of the blog aswell as introducing it but anyhoo... Fish.

Humour is part of my life as those who watch my youtube channel will know (www.youtube.com/crazybilby ) and so yeah while thinking of something to blog i thought of a joke which... is very interesting (Not really, please stop reading my blog you stalkers) and it is "Why did the fish cross the road?" and no this is NOT a rip-off of the chicken joke and has nothing to do with the chicken joke other than the structure of the introduction. The thing with this joke is it doesnt have a punchline in the traditional sense because you know.. fish CAN'T actually cross roads so the idea of this joke is not to tell it to invoke a laugh from someone (Unless you are very weird and enjoy jokes about fish with anthropomorphic qualities) but to tell it to someone... who will instantly stop and think "wait... how does the fish cross the road?" because you know this bit is left out and there's only the question of why it did something but not how it did it. Basically the idea is find a really absolutely nerdy person who cannot accept something unless it's plausible and tell them the joke (You might have to include a punchline of your design I don't care... i'm blogging about a joke about a fish that doesn't exist why do i care what you say or think about my fish?) and then they complain about the plausibility of this joke because chickens CAN cross roads but fish can't... so then the joke isn't the actual question about the fish but the fact that the person you're talking to is taking it too seriously (yes this only works on very few people) and so the joke isn't you it's them. haha nice joke that person who can't accept the fact that this is a joke and not real is amusing... to me.... somehow. Then you can just say stuff about how they need to get out more often or get a life or something which is crude but the idea of the joke isn't.

Thus making a joke with somewhat more complex humour than the generic jokes around (It's almost prank like) with multiple layers of meaning and this just goes to show you my sense of humour and what goes on within my mind thus showing...

... that i seriously need to get out more often...

Try out the fish joke on someone and see how people react (some of them might get loud!) and maybe.. film it or something... I don't know what you should do. You're taking suggestions from a man who thinks about fish jokes that make no sense and don't even have punchlines?

Edit from the distant future: Try this only on uptight logical nerds not autistic people, it is unfair to make fun of the autistic. Try to fine that fine line and stay on the right side, thank you.
