So many things

I have SO many things to rant about

First of all, THANK YOU MUMMY! I know she'll see that because she's a dedicated reader of my columns, she sent me a nice parcel today, it was filled with shampoo type stuff, medicine for my flu, cordial powder and yummy home made bikkies :) oh, and thanks for giving birth to me as well so all the other nice people can read what I have to say ;P

Secondly YAY it's HOLIDAYS!!!! No more boring lectures, tiring practicals and assignments for another THREE WEEKS!!! I'm so happy!!

Walter got his million hits last night, I was there, in the chat room when it rolled over and I tell you, it was like the millennium, Walter's like a God to all the computer g33ks out there ;P

I got the BIGGEST french fry you would ever imagine at BK today (I didn't pay for it so it was OK) It was like, 20cms long... biggest french fry I'VE ever seen anyway, it was a MONSTER, and I got served by Bob Marley, yes people, Bob is still alive and working at Courtenay Place Burger King, it said so, on his name tag :)

And on a note related to LordP's recent columns, can you imagine what the toddlers of today will remember of their childhood, things like Tellytubbies, Squirt, Anthony on What Now, not being able to stay up and watch Veronica's Closet.... man, we're gunna have a REALLY fucked up country when these people become of age.... worse then now anyway :)

Told you I had many things today :)

Only $1 a Day

Could save a student like me from having another experience like last week.

I had no money, and I went about 36 hours without food. Now that can't be good.... and I was wondering why I felt light headed!!!

But now I've got my trusty WINZ payment and I'm fed.

On another topic. I can't make mayonnaise, it's official! My parents are going to be getting a lot of mayo when I go home because I'm going to constantly make it until I get it right!! Of all the things to fail, I fail the easiest one of my assessments (d'oh!)

My Head Explodes and My Body Aches

ARGH

I'm coming down with the flu my entire class seems to have I think. Dammit! My head is throbbing, my nose is blocked, my eyes are watering an my throat is dry. The worst thing about it though is that I can't find my panadol.

I'm not looking forward to in the slightest my practical assessment I have tomorrow. I'm sure I'm going to fail. If I do however, most of it will rest on me. Being sick sucks. I'm only going to go for the actual assessment because I don't think I should really go to anything unless I really have to.

Dinner at my Grandmothers is slowly lurking up on me. It should be interesting to say the very least. At least she can cook a decent meal I guess.

owchy-poos

I burnt my tongue today. Don't you hate that?
I got very wet in the rain today. Don't you hate that more?

Well, went to classes [read: my 1 class I had today] got very wet, learnt about the nutritional value of vegetables (BORING) and then went, with a few of my friends to and Indian Restaurant for lunch, and it was yummy. I had some vegetable curry type thing, with rice, poppadoms and nan bread with a drink called Lusi. The drink was like a Smoothie, but lighter, and everything was very enjoyable. I got filled up very nicely and it cost me less then $10!!!

The restaurant is at the top end of Cuba Street. I highly recommend it, it's in a White Building, just before Cosmic Corner if you're coming from the mall :P

my poor bank account

The life of a student is, to put it nicely, a piece of buggery poo.

My bank account balance, at this point in time is exactly $-497.70. That leaves me with exactly $2.30 that I can spend, and $2 of that must be used to do my washing. I'm thinking of selling my soul. Or even part of my dear, dear CD collection to fund my life. Which, is on a downward spiral to bankruptcy.

The only problem, is I love my CD's dearly. Bugger, damn, blast and all that.

how DARE they?!?

Burger King - admittedly, my very favourite fast food restaurant, but lately [read: last night], well, they've done some stuff to piss me off.

Well, I have a whole list, written in my tired haze last night so I'll start from the beginning.
  1. They took 7 minutes, 34 seconds and 16 100's of a second (as timed on my trusty cell phone stop watch) to take my order, which would be OK, if there were heaps of people in front of me, but, alas, there was only one, and she was still waiting for her fries when they took my order.
  2. When placing my order, I asked for a "number seven" and the person (who was a manager) had to look up to see a "seven" was the exact meal the woman next to me (who was still waiting for her fries) had.
  3. They then gave me medium fries for my up size.
  4. They've increased the price of a Whopper and Double Whopper meal by 30 cents. Which is rude, because it upsets my entire budget.
  5. When getting home I looked at the bag, and discovered "Bag may contain on average 30% Post Consumer Material" written on the side - does this mean that inside the bag I can sometimes expect to find a turd lurking? Maybe this is the phenomenon also revered as the "Whopper". Possibly it means, that the bag is simply recycled, but why is only 30% of it recycled? Why not recycle the whole lot, I mean McDonald's trays are made from recycled material (note: this could possibly be their burgers, I have heard from an ex-McDonalds employee that if their cheese was manufactured anymore it actually would be plastic - which somehow doesn't surprise me)
  6. Did you know there is a Voluntary Pokemon Ball Safety Recall? This is because "Ball may pose suffocation hazard to children under 3 years old". If you take back this ball you get a small order of fries.... personally I'd rather sue 'em ;P the number for more information about this recall is "1800 7550625" But we're in New Zealand, and don't have "1800" numbers..... hmmmmm
Believe me, if I was a "Secret-Shopper" I wouldn't give 'em my time.

So, I have a feeling I won't be eating at McDonalds (because I just don't), or BK for awhile.... back to crappy halls food mefinks.

My cousin didn't come back last night... darnit

She is Not Scared to Die

Sitting in my room, listening to my favourite band really loud, I was surprised I actually heard the knock on my door.... the chick across the hall, wanting me to turn it down.

It's 5:30...... What The Fuck?!?

I'm used to her coming over at 9:30 asking me to turn it down, standing there in her check flannellette pajamas.. and I oblige, even though noise curfew isn't until 10:30.

But it's FRIDAY

I can't go out drinking, due to an error in judgement last week. So I'm planning a quiet one, just me, a packet of ciggys, the TV, my computer and numerous assignments, due in this week before the semester break.

So I'd like my Kittie rather loud thank you.

She didn't complain last night at 8:00 when her neighbour was playing ABBA at the highest setting, singing higher then the music.

Maybe it's cos I have "bad" taste in music....

sucky things

My cousin came today on her oh-so-secret trip into town. You see, after the murder of a classmate of hers she is not allowed to come in on Friday/ Saturday nights, but, it doesn't stop her.

She came and saw me, like always, to get drunk in my room, she usually brings chicks with her, but today she bought her boyfriend and some guy mates, and OH MY GOD!

It completely sucks having your cousin being a year and a half younger then you, cos her friend, who shall remain nameless, was HOT, but also 16.

Fullstop. End of the Line. Next Paragraph.

Hopefully my cousin will come by again later tonight.... *fingers crossed* ;P I'll keep ya posted :)

Why Didn't They Teach Me English Like This??

This is played pretty much every week on Sundays on Channel Z on Bomber's Show and I finally got around to transcribing it.

_______________________________________

Let us talk about the word fuck.
Of all the words that begin with F, Fuck is the only word described as 'the F Word'.
As with most words in the English language, fuck is derived from the German word 'Flecan' which means 'to strike'

In English, Fuck falls into many grammatical categories:-

As a trans ital verb for instance: "John fucked Shirley."
As an intransitive verb: "Shirley Fucks."

It's meaning is not only sexual.

It can be used as an adjective: "John's doing all the fucking work."
As part as an adverb: "Shirley talks to fucking much."
As an adverb enhancing an adjudicative "Shirley is fucking beautiful."
As a noun: "I don't give a fuck."
As part of a word: "Abso-fucking-loutely" or "in-fucking-credible."
And, as almost every word in a sentence: "fuck the fucking fuckers."

As you must realise, there aren't too many words with the versatility of the word fuck. As in these examples describing situations such as:-
Fraud: "I got fucked at the used car lot."
Dismay: "Oh fuck it."
Trouble: "I guess I'm really fucked now."
Aggression: "Don't fuck with me, buddy."
Difficulty: "I don't understand this fucking question."
Inquiry: "Who the fuck was that?"
Dissatisfaction: "I don't like what the fuck is going on here."
Incompetence: "he's a fuckoff."
Dismissal: "Why don't you go outside, and play hide and go fuck yourself?"

I'm sure you can think of many more examples. With all of these multi purpose applications, how can anyone be offended when you use the word? We say, use this unique, flexible word more often in your daily speech. It will identify the quality of your character immediately. Say it loudly and proudly, fuck you!
