Geekdom and overseas!

So my family went to watch the hobbit! If anyone knows me like about 3% well, they will know I'm a (lil bit) of a major geek.

I actually quite liked what they did! I mean, when i found out it was a 3 part movie, i was quite amazed, because having read the hobbit about a thousand times (not even kidding i can quote it) i know exactly how long it is. And I knew that it wouldn't be long enough for 3 parts.

(Although i did guess where they would end the first movie... eh he he.)

But they added stuff that i didn't expect! (well i sort of guessed they would add the necromancer bit, but putting radagast and stuff in was a surprise)

Anyway, as soon as the movie ended, my parents looked at me and asked "how close to the book? Which bits added? TELL MEEEEEEEE"

lol

I've got geek cred in my family.

anyway, speaking of geek cred, i saw this article on the internet, which talks about women who are geeks.

In some ways, i kinda agree with him? In others, i find him a bit pretentious. I'm not sure.

I think that yes, i do get slightly irritated when i find attention grabbing girls dressing up and pretending to be hard core geeks online. However, on the other hand, I also feel like this is just a little bit of a sexist statement? Not all girls who choose to cosplay and want to get their geek on at conventions are attention grabbers. Perhaps the word im looking for is generalisation.

(Although i do understand the 6to9 thing.)

Maybe it's because most of the people i hang out with are geeky. Who knows.

Also, i felt a twinge of sadness when he sad "girls turning up at conventions claiming they like 'doctor who.'

Is doctor who a mainstream, non-geeky show? Does that mean I'm not a geek? Surely not.

I mean, it is a more popular show, ever since David Tennant was the Doctor. (Which i find said, because personally i feel that eccly and smithy also brought heaps to the role D:) And yeah, i can't deny that i'm a bit fangirly for Matt Smith sometimes (I love his doctor! but even then, he's still not MY doctor. He just reminds me of the 4th, which i still think is my doctor. Everyone has a doctor. this might also be because i love sarah jane. haha)

OVERSEAS TOMORROW! I AM EXCITE! FIRST TIME OVERSEAS WITH FAMILY EVER! :O

I can't wait to go shopping ^^

Iced Coffee, and The Hulk.

I'm feeling the sad, sad truth about living with my parents.

I will never be able to have the perfect cup of coffee at home.

Reading all these coffee-lover blog posts, I realise (and I knew this before) I can't get a good coffee without a machine. It just doesn't work.

What I really need to try is the perfect ice coffee recipe.

Did you know there are two main ways of making ice coffee? Cold brew verses hot brew.

The hot brew (and more common) version is to simply brew normal hot coffee, let it cool, and then pour it over ice.

Cold brew is where you take cold water and soak the coffee powder in it, then slowly drain the coffee water away from the dregs, the refridgerate. It's a long process but it makes (supposedly) the best ice coffee.


I really really really want to try this, but there's no way its achievable with my family.

We don't have the fridge space lol. Also, my mum hates coffee.

Also, it turns out it's not just me who likes to use condensed milk in home made coffees. I managed to get coffee powder (not the instant stuff, the good stuff) by myself, but it's just not the same as freshly ground and brewed.

It's lacking that depth.

I really really really need to get a machine.

I told my mum when I move out I'm getting a coffee machine, and she gave her usual "coffee is evil - do you want to look like your 65 when your only 40?" rant, and i told i her don't care, i like coffee.

Then she told me she'll come over to my house and destroy my machines.

I nearly cried.

Not really. But I would if I had them and she did destroy it. Do you know how expensive coffee machines are? But I guess they would save you money if you bought coffee everyday. That's like $42 a week.

---

My brother is surprisingly aggressive now. It has increased considerably over such a short period of time. Before, when he was angry he'd just throw glares at you. Now, he'll actually come up and try and hit me. Maybe it's cause he's started to take kung fu, but it actually hurts a bit when the punches land.

I dunno. Maybe it's puberty.

He told me I should learn Kung Fu so I can defend myself in case he gets angry and looses it. I told him just to control himself and I wouldn't have to worry about it.

Kinda sounds like a conversation with the Hulk or something.

haha.

Did you have any drastic emotional changes when you went through puberty? I remember I cried all the time, for absolutely no reason. Once I cried when my mum said we were having dessert, and I didn't know why. She will never let me forget that.

---

 I saw this on the internet, and I laughed so hard. It would be such a brilliant compliment in real life, but it'd be super bad to write it on a facebook photo post.

Can you imagine? It'd be kinda like... bad

oh the chaos.

---

Nano! I'm so excited. I was talking to my mum's friend who is an editor/column writer/Josh's english tutor and told her I was doing nano and she was like COOOOOL! And I was like I know! And then she was like "Is it for school?" and i was like "no, just wanted to do it." and she was like "ok. *weird face* You're doing it with friends though?" And I was like "yup"

So guys, you need to nano with me, and we can word battle and such. It will be fun! :D

Also I don't have any nano friends on my author profile, which is sad lol.

Probably because i don't know how to add anyone. :p

---

Anyway, here's a meme.

I just realised, my blog is quite image heavy. I apologise for those slow internets out there.

bye guys!

English Witches

What strikes me as the most amazing about Advanced English papers was perhaps the INTENSE SIMILARITY to our trial questions.

So now I ask myself, why oh why did I do Suu Kyi when it was last year? I should have done Bandler after the English predicted it would be Bandler. Stupid Alysha.

---

Was writing drama essay (last minute i know, seeing as the exam is tomorrow) and i was trying to remember this word, it's like origami but with cloth, and was like desperately thinking back to my year 8 obession with it and i was like... furoshiki? that sounds wrong.

Then i waited like HALF AN HOUR for my slow internet search to reveal the answer AND I WAS RIGHT!

I was amazed. lol.

---

I feel like eating steak. I dunno why. Perhaps its the innate fear of going vegan that my mum is threatening me with.

Today she cooked chinese vegetarian noodles. No eggs, no meat. Just chives and bean shoots (g-nah choi, or however you say it. i dunno. blame my malay-accented canto that i grew up with)

She's holding firm to her decision.

I can't say it tasted bad, cause it was good.

But I want steak for some reason.

STEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAK.

But I've always like soy milk. Soy milk is nice. :)

I think soy milk is nicer in coffees. I always pay the extra 50c or whatever to get soy, because it makes the coffee naturally sweeter, so you don't have to add sugar. And also, it's better for you. Yay soy!

Wow, i sound like those prentious dieters.

RL, I'll try not to be a prentious vegan. On the other side, if I did become vegan, I could go to vegan academy and get superpowers and be like that guy from Scott Pilgrim vs the World, all pretentious and super powered.

and i can be like "I part take in nothing that is, or comes from, nor the ovum, of anything with a face. Short story: Being vegan makes you better than most people." JUST LIKE THE FLOATING GUY FROM SCOTT PILGRIM

Also, freakin Tite Kubo. "series ending soon? TIME TO KILL ALL THE MAIN CHARACTERS!" (Insert troll face here.)

"OH MICKEY YOU SO FINE, '
YOU SO FINE YOU FLY THROUGH TIME
HEY MICKEY!!! YEAH YEAH
OH MICKEY DOCTOR GOT ROSE,
DOCTOR GOT ROSE, SO GO WITH MARTHA JONES
HEY MICKEY!! YEAH YEAH


LOL.

yes i wrote that. yes i'm sad. yes i should do drama.

bye guys.

Creative...

So I read this NY times article online today, and all I could think of Belonging and Navigating the Global. Could use as related for either one.

Read something by the Ruse dota crew. I think I'm dramatically effected by it. They have intense imaginations.

Also i'm kinda pissed because i forgot to save my 6th edit of my navglobal essay so i'm back to editing it again. for the 7th time.

I've been listening to ipod on shuffle and stuff i haven't heard in a long time came up. Like all the jap music i was obsessed with when i was in year 8and9.

And amazingly i still remembered all the words, and i was singing along.

EL, remember diamond tree? i still remember most of the dance.

yay hare hare yukai!

tbh sometimes, when i'm home along and it comes on shuffle, i would get up and dance it. (SO SAD I KNOW)

but if my sister's in the room i'll just move my arms.

Actually this reminds me of the time when RC was watching the series cause me and michelle were watching it, and he stood up at the front of english and did the mikuru beam LOLOLOL

 

mi-mi-mi-MIKURU BEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!!

Also, my TARDIS cup can hold a remarkable amount of liquid. Must be because it's bigger on the inside :D

 I'm so lame.

 Anyway, leaving

Fantasy Lands and Milk Pudding :)

So despite being ridiculously sick, thanks to my miraculous healing powers, i mangaged to overcome the nasuea and feverish friday evening with 18 straight hours of sleep (broken by the occasional drinking of chinese herbal crap and swallowing tablets and drinking rivers dry) to stagger out of the house on saturday to go to USYD and UTS open day.

Although i did miss out on Spring Fling, which is kind of sad.

To be perfectly honest though, having gone to USYD yesterday only affirmed my original decision: if not USYD law/arts, then USYD arts and then transfer.

I went to a  moot court session! It was amazing!  But everyone around me found the entire process incredibly boring, yet i was continually excited by every rebut and mention of a legal case.

I told this to my dad and he said "good. guess you haven't got that much competition after all" haha.

Also, the only thing i can say about UTS is that it's really very... fun looking. haha. Their open day was like a festival.

I liked the balloons :)

Also, it was nice to keep running into people that I knew all around USYD and stuff. Also, when i went to catch the train, i ran into some baulko kids literally waiting at for the train. So cool haha.

Although i literally came home and was so dead, i just collasped into bed and slept for another like 12 hours.

---
One thing i hate about being sick is that you can't breathe through your nose when you have a blocked nose. So you have to breathe through your mouth. It feels kinda wrong.

It also makes eating rather uncomfortable.

Today was pretty crazy, awesome lecture on Hebrews 5:11 to 6:12. Was scarily relevent to me... haha. But then, any passage on laziness and diligence, as well as leadership and development of faith probably would relate to any teen :p

What i liked about today was i got to go shopping for snacks :3

Bought some awesome japanese food, one i ate at the park and the other at home JUST NOW IT WAS SO TASTY.

 FIRSTLY, if you haven't been to fuji pan i really do recommend it. It's a super cute japanese bakery near chinatown that sells a large assortment (though perhaps not as large as breadtop) of asian buns. BUT it had what i've wanted to try for a long time: Japanese Melon Bread! Having read about it in mangs for so long I've been dying to try it, and now i finally have!

It kinda reminds me of Asian "pinapple" bread, but not sticky. It's really nice though! :)

Also, i had this just then, it's awesome! Eastwood Breadtop. (My mum went grocery shopping and i got hungry, so i bought a red bean bun and this to take home.) It's so cute, it came in it's own bottle and all, i couldn't resist.

And it tasted AMAZING, SO GOOD. Will probably be bought whenever i can get my hands on it haha. I have to learn how to make it...

Anyway. That's it on food.

---

So today we had FAMILY MOVIE NIGHT!!!!!! We watched John Carter.

And regardless of reviews it got (they were all pretty bad), my mum and I both agreed it was AWESOME. (Which is quite rare, we both usually don't like major movies and can predict the plot line.) There was this CRAZY TWIST and we were both like asodigjsoainrhwawieuphgaweirng!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha

I wish it did better, i would have LOVED a second movie.

Now i really want to read ALL the books :p

anyway, i should sleep soon.

Here's an awesome Doctor who/Avengers thing i saw that made me smile.

Dawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, Doctor Who, the ultimate wingman. :)

Bye guys!

Sorting.

So instead of doing ext2eng or ext1maths, i'll make a post.

So my mum got a pottermore account today, just to find out which house she's in, since my siblings and i all had beta accounts.

Just so you know, my brother and I are Ravenclaw kids, and my sis is a Hufflepuff.

To which a large amount of jokes go.

Especially since we all can never find things, so when my sister always found our stuff and complained, we are all just like...
 
ehe hehe heh...

Anyway, so well all thought and discussed for a while (cause getting to the sorting part takes for ever) about what house our mum would potentially be in.

We all decided it would defs not be gryffindor (i dare say that no one in my family is particularly brave lul) and we thought for sure she'd be a slytherin.

And then she got sorted.

And she was a Hufflepuff.

and me and my bro were like

because my mum was all

AND THEN
my sister was like...
"Mum can't be in Hufflepuff, she can't find things."
bahahahahahahahahah

 Also,   just for the Starkids...

  

I congradulate anyonewho is born on the 21st March - 20th April, and for them to wait for someone who is a 10, "because you're worth it."

Also cangradulations to those born on 22nd June - 22nd July, you are a "sexy humanitarian(?)" [it's been a while since ive watched.]

BUT I'M RUMBLEROAR SO I WIN GUYS. JUST SAYIN.

Also was watching the goblet of fire again recently, and at the dragon scene i was all:

 hehe. Am learning to play on guitar. It's hard...

---

onto more potter-ness, i REALLLY WANTED TO SEE THIS

http://www.pottedpotter.com/

 

 

 

but i think it has bad times for HSC kids. :(

Am quite the depressed.

anyway, to close with the immortal words of Doctor Who.

(you may now read the closing theme song.)

DOOO WEEEEE OOOOOOH (dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dummmmm) DOOO WOOO OOOOOOOH (dum dum dummmmm dum dudududmmm dum dum dummmmm) WOOO OOOH OOOOOH OOOOOOOOH OH OHHHHHHHHH OOOOH OOOOOOO........ DOOO WEEEEE OOOOOOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (dum dum dum dadadadadaddum!)

well it's been a while.

Hello. So I've been gone for a long time now, and i figure i should post something, so i'm going for something light hearted and not exam related at all. 

Starting with a pop culture doctor who reference in a 2001 Kit Kat commercial.

I wonder if it's super nerdy that the only thing i recognise in the video is the daleks....

eh he he.

anyway, props to this top comment:

Which would be kinda awesome.

(Skip this whole segment if you don't like doctor who. you weird people.)

Like for example, a small contingent of Daleks escaped from the void and took over the Kit Kat factory and are using their wafer part bits to hide tiny atomisers that once absorbed will have a reaction in the human body and cause them to create huon energy, allowing the daleks to return on masse.

or something silly like that.

OH and today i was watching this episode of Ben 10 with my brother, it was actually a pretty cool episode, obeying the laws of sci-fi and all, with the concept of an alternate dimension weapon.

So the evil alien dude cut ben's hand with the omnitrix of with an alternative dimensions weapon, which sent Ben's hand to the "null void," which, like in all a sciffy universes with alternate dimensions, was the space between dimensions area.

Anyway, when trying to get it back, Gwen asked Kevin if it was possible to retrieve his hand. So Kevin says:

"Just reverse the polarity!"

and i immediately stood up and shouted

 "OF THE NEUTRON FLOW!!!!!!!!!!!"

DOCTOR POP CULTURE REFERENCES FOR THE WIN! 

(Physics kids is that even possible?)

Actually i had a dream about doctor who the other day which involved the Doctor and Amy at a picnic with  Rory not even in sight, which at first was confusing, and then we realise madame Korvain set a trap for the Doctor , where all any's friends were robot replicas (like the ones in the big bang 2) and creating replica TARDIS machines, of which were NOT bigger on the inside and contained bombs, and Amy was able to sense which one was the real one, but then as the TARDIS was flying away there was a shot of the REAL AMY AND RORY FIGHTING THE PEOPLE WHO CAUGHT THEM AS THE FAKE TARDISES ALL BLOW UP!!!!

And then the Doctor knew its a fake Amy Robot all along, and reprograms the robot by linking her to the Real Amy's thoughtstream, but it's not actually the Real Amy's thought stream, just the way the real amy would think, (sort of like the flesh which goes independent.) and the fake amy that has the real amy's thought patterns and comforts the doctor, saying she knew it would be fine cause the doctor was going to find the real amy.

And so now when they travel around time, the Doctor realises all these fake amys are everywhere (THEY WERE IN SYDNEY IN MY DREAM LOL) and they had to fight a fake amy

and then i woke up.

and i was sad.

almost as good as a real fuggin episode.

lol

---

 I was on 9gag a LONG time ago and i wanted to post about this but i never did so i will now.

Anyway, all these comments were like "lol how pretty."

and then the other half of the comments were people like me, who thought "who ever did this to a beautiful old white antique baby grand should be hung and quartered and burned and then have their remains burned and the de-atomised."

 Really. It's my ideal piano.

Turned into a fracking water feature.

I wept.

---
Also, seeing as ext2 is due soon, and i don't think i'll end up using it, i'm putting up one of the comics i think im cutting out.

Seeing as it will never be seen otherwise.

lol

 BYE GUYS

CONGRATS RUSE KIDS ON FINISHING TRIALS!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Squiggles are cool)

that awkward moment...

So today i spent most of the day, instead of writing ext2 edits, playing the legend of zelda: ocarina of time.

really quite sad. though it is a revisit to my childhood :)

something hilarious today.

[bethany turns on music.]
[alysha starts to bop and move arms, 'dancing']
bethany: careful.
[alysha looks at her blankly]
alysha: wha?
bethany: you almost tripped.
alysha: ... i was dancing...
bethany: ... LOL.
alysha: i shall just leave now. and die in a hole.

BYE GUYS.

Just felt so bludgy...

Felt so bludgy today. Barely did anywork. Watched This Means War (Which i really loved, i personally would have made a different choice, but then again, i do have a sort of bias.)

Also I have recently fallen in love with this british singer who does a duet with this rapper who's also british. I think it's the only rap i'll be willing to listen to. Might be because he's so sweet and his accent is delicious.

The singer's name is Sid Bowden, and the rapper's name is Joe Turone.

I think I love them. They're beautiful. :)

This song is the first one i listened to, i nearly cried, immediately followed them and liked the facebook page.

I'm gone. New favourite non-record-holding band. :D

But the song was so beautiful, really, makes me want to cover it. :)


-----

Ever woken up late? I do every day! (Guess that's not really late anymore, if its everyday haha.)

Anyway, here's how to manage that awful bed head regardless of how you appear.

---

Also my Church was on masterchef as the guest audience in the Yum Cha challenge.

It was kinda funny hearing all the white people who were interviewed saying it was really tasty because my mum kept screaming "NO IT WASN'T IT WAS SO BAD!"

But yeah, my sister was on alot, she got a least a minute worth of filming? So cool. :)

And the entire episode my family kept standing up and screaming "OMG IT'S ________!!! LOOK LOOK THERE BEHIND THE GWEILO!!!!" in canto haha.

and my mum kept calling up my grandma and screaming in chinese "did you see my daughter? My daughter was on television! WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME I TOLD YOU TO WATCH IT!!!"

haha.

Apparently my grandma was cooking instead. :) She doesn't like Masterchef, she thinks its silly.

---

My mum says the coolest things. We were talking about gowgee because i really wanted soup noodles, and then we were talking about lord of the rings and my mum was like "yea, frodo and sam gowgee."

i nearly died laughing.

Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gowgee. (Y)

We ended up discussing an entire line of Lord of the Rings yumcha, with silly names that made no sense, because the only one that had anything remotely to do with it was SAMWISE GOWGEE.

---

Also, Tri-schools is coming! Am excite. :)

B-A-U-L-K-O YEAH!

packed weekend

Relay for life and Red shield appeal door knocking. :D

Although i didn't stay for the whole of relay for life, the time i was there was really cool.

I hope i can do the whole 24 hours next year.

I wonder i KF told people about my fangirl moment.

Door knocking made me think about how stingy some people can be. I made eye contact with this guy as he was hanging up his clothes and he went back inside his house. I thought he was going to meet me at the front door, so i went to the door step to meet him.

And he never came out.

Really, how stingy can you be?

Also i passed by a hoarders house today. It was weird. There was stuff everywhere, and it smelled funny. WH (the troll in my math class. male.) was reluctant to approach. I was too tbh.

anyway here's a meme i couldn't resist about superheroes.

Who's your favourite?
Male Against Male

1. Conan or Superman?
Superman

2. Spiderman or Silver Surfer?
Spiderman, spiderman, he can swing, from a web, look out!!!!!! here comes spiderman!

3. Captain America or Batman?
OOOOOOH hard choice. 
Movie wise, Captain America was hot. Batman was only good cause of The Joker. But since we're talking comic book, I have to choose The Bat.

4. Wolverine or Cyclops?
Wolverine

5. Daredevil or The Phantom?
Daredevil. He's a blind lawyer. (Y)

6. Hellboy or Hulk?
Hulk

7. The Flash or Green Lantern?
If we're talking silver age, i prefer The Flash. Barry Allen is nicer than Hal Jordon. But out of all of the Flashes and Lanterns, John Stewart, Green Lantern is my choice.

8. The Punisher or Blade?
Blade. Obviously.

9. Zorro or Thor?
Thor. :3 that hunk of Norse god. Zorro has no chance against mjolnir.

10. Blade or Spawn?
Blade. Spawn is interesting. But Blade is nuts.

Female Against Female

1. Batgirl or Supergirl?
Supergirl

2. Elektra or Catwoman?
Catwoman.

3. Wonder Woman or Phoenix (Jean Grey)?
Phoenix. Unbeatable. I love Jean Grey. She held the whole world of the X men in her hand. Whoever possesses Jean is a winner. Wonder Woman can't do that much...

4. She-Hulk or She-Ra?
She-Hulk. Isn't She-Ra some kind of Barbie character?

5. Ultra-Violet or Wildstorm?
Ultra-Violet

6. Wonder Woman or Elektra?
Electra. I respect her. Even though she's a villain, she had a hard life and is making the most of what she has. Besides, she only takes on mercenary cases she agrees with. She doesn't just do any random case. She has morals (sort of.) if you read her comic and not just her appearances in other comics then your opinion of her gets better. Diana (Wonder Woman) was an Amazonian Princess who pretty much got whatever she wanted, until she decided to compete (though the queen, her mother, forbade her) to win the title of Wonderr Woman and be the ambassador of the Amazons to the rest of the world.

7. Leeloo or Buffy?
Buffy would win in a fight and down for pure hard coreness, but Leelo, the fifth element, is unforgettable. She's a unique character who gave her life up for earth.

8. Queen of Swords or Xena?
Xena

9. Red Sonja or Nikita?
Red Sonja

10. Storm or Wonder Woman?
STORM IS THE BEST. SHE HAS SILVER HAIR AND IS BLACK AND CAN CONTROL WEATHER. AND FLIES. although she appears pretty useless in the movie. BUT IN THE COMICS SHE'S AMAZING.

Female Against Male

1. Buffy or Blade?
Blade

2. She-Hulk or Hellboy?
She hulk

3. Red Sonja or Conan?
Red sonja. I HATE CONAN.

4. Supergirl or Superman?
Superman would win due to sheer power. But i prefer supergirl. (call me a feminist, whatever.)

5. Xena or Spiderman?
SPIDERMAN. He could just web her sword up and she's gone.

6. UltraViolet or The Punisher?
Ultra-Violet

7. Queen of Swords or Zorro?
Queen of swords. She is like an angrier, more vengeful, less whiny, female ass kicking zorro.

8. Catwoman or Cyclops?
Catwoman. Cyclops only has his lazer eyes that can't do much since he doesn't believe in killing people. Catwoman is sexbomb thief acrobat crazy awesome hot burglar that can fight Batman. Whcih means she's cool.

9. Nikita or Batman?
Batman. Nikita is lame compared to Batman with his ultra gadgets and endless monies AND ALFRED.

10. Phoenix or Silver Surfer?
PHOENIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALSO no post is complete without some Doctor Who.

Saw this online and laughed. Because I do. :D 

Apparently it's a collection of short stories. Now I really want it. :O




 

Rory Williams jokes

WARNING. THIS ENTIRE POST IS BASED ENTIRELY ON WHO CULTURE. IF YOU ARE NOT A WHOVIAN, DON'T BOTHER READING THIS AT ALL, AS NOT ONLY WILL YOU PROBABLY NOT GET IT, YOU WILL ALSO FIND THIS TEDIOUS AND BORING.

DISCLAIMER. DO NOT READ IF YOU INTEND TO WATCH DOCTOR WHO (OR IF I INTEND TO FORCE YOU TO WATCH DOCTOR WHO AHEM JAMES) ANYTIME SOON, AS THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS AND WILL RUIN THE SUSPENSE OF AN ENTIRE THREE SEASON'S WORTH. DON'T DO IT IF YOU HAVE ANY SENSE WHATSOEVER.

On another note, hi to all ruse nerds who may be reading this. I love you guys.

At times like this I think of how I rant a lot about geeky stuff. Like that time, when I was at KF's house, and he was like "Alysha, you're such a geek." And I was like "No I'm... Yes. Yes I am." 

I just wanted to talk about Rory Williams, as currently in who culture he seems to hold a position of undefeatable bad assery. And he'll be leaving this season. :(

RORY WILLIAMS IS THE NEW CHUCK NORRIS JOKES

•  I'm Sorry. Rory Williams is not the new Chuck Norris, because that implies there was something before Rory Williams.
• The TARDIS doesn’t need to refuel at the Cardiff rift any more.  It is powered by Rory’s awesomeness.
• Rory Williams cleans bed pans by scaring the crap out of them.
• The TARDIS calls Rory  ”the pretty one” because there’s no Gallifreyan Word for “ultimate stud muffin”.
• Rory Williams was erased from time and it messed things up so badly the universe had to be rebooted.
• Amy Pond married Rory Williams because Chuck Norris wasn’t man enough for her.
• They built the Pandorica to hold the Doctor because trying to hold Rory Williams would be just plain stupid.
• The Silence wishes they could forget seeing Rory Williams.
• Rory Williams doesn’t need a device to time travel. It simply shifts to whatever time Rory Williams says it is.
• A Dalek begged River Song for mercy because it knew who her father was. River Song granted the Dalek mercy by shooting it in the eye instead of calling her father.
• The Daleks asked Steven Moffat to retire them because they didn’t want to fight Rory Williams.
• The House entity messed with Amy’s mind because messing with Rory’s mind would have popped the bubble universe. Loudly.
• River Song asked the Storm Cage guards to dress like Roman Centurions.  She has daddy issues.
• 100 Lesbian Dinosaur women agree: Rory Williams tastes like raw Habanero and Win.
• Rome Fell because the Emperor Honorious tried to open the Pandorica while Rory Williams was guarding it.
• The Dream Lord created two dreams that were obviously fake. In one there was a cold star that violated the laws of thermodynamics. In the other Rory Williams died.
• Look up the word “loyalty” in the Dictionaria Galactica and you will see a picture of Rory Williams with the caption “Top this, bitches!”
• Rory Williams’ Jelly Babies aren’t made from real babies.  They’re made from real Dalek babies.
• Rory Williams is the only man who could father a part-Time Lord human with his wife dressed as a police woman while traveling through the time vortex in a TARDIS that thinks he’s the pretty one…in bunk beds!
• Rory isn’t worried that Amy is going to run off with the Doctor, but the Doctor is worried that the TARDIS is going to run off with Rory.
• The Gamma Forest writing translated Melody’s name as River Song because there was no equivalent word for “daughter of supreme awesomeness”.
• What’s left of the 12 Cyber Legion is now a Peruvian Folk band called Rory’s Runaways.
• Rory Williams supports recycling. When he was plastic he recycled himself into a human being.
• On the day the Doctor defeated an army in 3 minutes and 42 seconds he still took orders from Rory Williams. “Oi! You! Get in here! Now!”
• Rory Williams doesn’t need regenerations to beat death. He uses his bare hands.
• The Doctor left Demon’s Run in a hurry because he knew that Rory was about to find out he’d been sonic-ing his daughter.  
• Rory Williams gave Rasillon a warning for leaving stuff lying scattered through time and space and said that next time he’d fine him. 
• Rory Williams remembered himself back to existence. 
• Rory Williams has died and returned to life so many times, Kenny wants his autograph. 
• At night children check their closet for the boogyman, at night the boogyman checks his closet for Chuck Norris, at night Chuck Norris checks his closet for Rory Williams.  
• Legend has it that Rory Williams once repeated a question. In retrospect, the event was called the Big Bang.  
• If at first you don’t succeed, you’re not Rory Williams.

i love doctor who :3

woof.

So I've been in bed sick for the past few days. I'll be back at school tomorrow. But I feel bad because I missed my ext1 tutorial work. Shame on you Alysha.

On Friday we went to the Ruse prefect afternoon tea thing, which was really cool. :) They did an amazing job of organising everything. Was pretty cool. Congrats to the Ruse prefects for the organising that amazing stuff.

OH AND I GOT MY PHONE BACK!!!!!!!!!!

I think it was Miss Sweeney. She's always been a hero to me, such a passionate and brilliant teacher of english, but now I think she's actually a hero.

---

Started cram reading The Mosquito Coast while in bed sick, so I've been thinking a lot about it. It's really way more of an interesting ext1 text than The Island in my opinion. You can fight me if you want.

But really, the personality of Allie, I dunno whether he annoys me or inspires me.

He's stubborn, a hard worker, MASSIVELY opinionated, cynical, smart, talks well, and positively full of himself.

I guess he's a bit like me, which says a lot.

But then again, he hates religion, is massively close minded, willing to kill for his cause, and really show-offy to the point of insufferablilty.

I really hope I'm not like that.

Maybe I am and I refuse to see it.

Haha.

At any rate, back to school tomorrow.

---

Oh.

Also, I FINALLY DROPPED CHEM!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHA I'M SO HAPPY. IT'S GONE! GONE!!! NO MORE CHEM! 11 UNITS!

I honestly feel so much freer. AND SO EXCITED ABOUT FREE PERIODS.

They make me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

I love free periods. They're like cats. Or warm chocoate chip cookies. Or hugs from miss mac. Or reading Harry Potter. Or watching Disney Movies. Or love letters from anons. Not that I've had many of those. Or any of those. But that's what I'd imagine they'd feel like. Although fuzzy wuzzys/gradelove is kinda similar.

Actually, I'm imagining what free periods will feel like. I haven't exactly had one yet.

I guess thinking of free periods is like all of the above.

I look forward to free periods. Although all I probably will be doing is sleeping throughout. Or working on english. Or math. Or talking. Or eating. haha.

My mum is really starting to not want me to go to Relay for Life. I dunno how to convince her otherwise. I'm worried. I really wanted to go.

Also, shout out to Shelley. I don't think you're a creepy person at all. In fact, I think you're quite awesome. Thank you for taking time out of your precious study time to bother reading this. haha.

Here's some Doctor Who just for you.

This is pretty much how I've been, sick at home.

BYE GUYS.

Kids these days...

I know i sound like an old grandma (alot) but this has to get out.

I was at a family friend's house the other day (not you MH so don't worry, your house was cool.) and i saw these two little kids, who i usually find adorable, loving siblings to each other, battling it out for a bag of chips and the wii controllers to play rabid rabbits or whatever.

this thing. (actually the room looked like her house, so i choose it.)

At any rate, the older brother didn't want to let his sister eat chips OR play games, you i told him off (he's like 6 and she's 2) and he wanted ME to play with him instead, so i let her play with me (the thing was a shaking and controlling thing, so i told her to shake it while i moved. Blood Hell those games require co ordination.) and he got all huffy so he said he was  "going for a bike ride" in his backyard and he took the Pringles with him.

So i was playing very happily with the little girl, playing the games she was denied to play because her brother didn't want her to, and he got very upset when he came back in, face all crumbed over.

I get the food thing, every one loves pringles. But what i don't understand is how they were fighting so much about a TWO PLAYER GAME. There are only two kids. Why didn't they get along in a two player game??? I mean, i have two siblings, so we usually go by a winner continues system (which my brother doesn't like, cause he always looses) but that would create more room for arguement i understand. But in a two player game, how can they argue? There are two controllers, the older boy is ALWAYS going to win, so he doesn't have to worry about that at all. So why didn't he let her play? I thought this was rather unfair, and i wondered why i don't think i ever had these arguements as a kid.

And then i realised that WE DIDN'T PLAY WITH CONSOLES.

When i was younger, we ran around with dolls and wands and fake wings and tea sets and fought dragons and jumped on the couches and threw pillows at dragons trying to avoid lava, knocking over vases and breaking remotes and having to stand in corners for an hour for being rowdy. We coloured in and made up stories and put on Barbie fashion shows (i don't like Barbie now, i really don't condone it for young females, it's been statistically proven to alter their concepts of beauty, which is bad for young forming female minds)

At anyrate, it's hard to fight with each other when you are going off to battle to save you other sibling who has to be dying of some sickness and come galloping back with the cure, or design a killer fashion show or kill pirates or whatever. (btw we all had super powers.)

It's sad to me when i see babies playing on iphones, when four year olds have facebook, and when the only book twelve year old girls have read are teen romance novels based on Twilight and twilight itself.

Speaking of twilight, i read this article which i found so true.

http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/society-and-culture/twilight-girls-learn-to-give-up-all-for-love-20091118-imfx.html?autostart=1

In terms of role models for future generations, i'm finding serious lacking in the female department. And it seriously concerns me when girls like 6 years of age want to find a perfect vampire boyfriend, to turn them into immortal vampire beauties.

seriously. 

What are the values that this book is espousing? Nevermind that the writing is awful and there is no plotline and character development, THIS IS IT. Bela is willing to KILL HERSELF for a man, ready to reject and outlive her family for a man, all to eager to see her boyfriend than study (not ONCE is an exam mentioned, hell she lives in a shell for six months, not caring about life at all after Edward leaves her. what kind of a concern for her future is that?) all she cares about is Edward, and looking young and beautiful for the rest of her life.

Then, she marries at 18 years old to a guy who is practically her over possessive stalker (he watched her when she slept BEFORE she expressed intrest in him) and has woo hoo and has a baby, which btw the baby is potentially deadly and is not allowed by vampire rules because vampire babies are WRONG AND DANGEROUS but hey, bella says eff the rules my boyfriend is hot. And decides to have the baby, which puts THE WHOLE FAMILY at risk of death.

So to sum up, Bella is a bad role model because:

1. She doesn't care about bettering herself

2. She only cares about being beautiful

3. She doesn't care for her "immortal soul" as stated in the book, because she is willing to do everything for Edward and vampire beauty

4. She gives up everything for a guy. (not that i'm banging on love and all. I'm just saying that you need to have self respect and PERSPECTIVE.)

5. She is selfish and manipulative. (c'mon, jacob vs edward? more like how to hurt two people who love you more than they should and more they deserve.)

6. She's unbelievibly stupid.

Thankfully we do have one heroine of our era that is worth it, with a movie hype almost as brilliant.

Hermione Granger.

:)

GO JK ROWLING. THANK YOU FOR GRACING US WITH A HEROINE WHO IS A PERFECT ROLE MODEL FOR GIRLS OF THE 21ST CENTURY.

Hermoine Granger IS a good role model because:

1. She works hard. 

She studies so much, she wasn't called 'the brightest witch in her year' for nothing. Hagrid even said 'there isn't a spell that our hermione can't do.' 

2. She is cares about her friends

She tried to be there for Ginny with her boy troubles, told Ron off for interfering, and backed up Harry and Ron whenever they needed homework help.

3. She took care of her family.

She ensured her family stayed safe during the 2nd rising of Voldemort, she was never ashamed of where she comes from (mudblood and proud!) and she listened to her parent's opinions over her own (dental alterations, she could have magically reduced her teeth but she didn't because her father didn't want her too.)

4. She didn't go stupid over love. 

When she was going out with Victor Krum, she still supported Harry in the Tri-wizard tournament. When Ron and Harry were having a fight in the deathly hallows, she backed up harry and stayed with him, because he, and the whole wizarding world, needed her, regardless of her feelings towards Ron. She knew what the right thing to do was, and she put her personal matters and feelings aside to do it.

5. She is a social activist.

She sees injustice and fights it. She wanted to instigate the DA, because she knew Umbridge was evil. She even cared about those who no one else noticed, and she fought for them. Even if it was a little misguided. (SPEW)

6. She had her own identity away from Harry and Ron.

JK didn't make Hermione just a side kick, a character to be noted and thrown away, even though she wasn't the main character. She wasn't stupidly love sick and did everything for love. She has her own personality, her own interests, her own character, and she FIGHTS. SHE FIGHTS FOR THE THINGS SHE LOVES.

The only time i can remember her being irrationally silly is that classic line. "I'm going to bed, before someone gets one of us killed. Or worse, expelled." And when Ron and her were having that love tiff, trying to make each other jelly.

But hey, i can forgive her. Twice in 7 books of kick assery.

In short, i hope young girls take Hermione as their role model, as opposed to Bella Swann. 

hehe. One of the comments in the article said this.

Busy last few days... OF DOCTOR WHO

It's currently thunder storming. I hate thunderstorms. They make me cringe. And kind of curl into a ball hugging my insufferable brother who becomes slightly less insufferable during the frightened period.

This Easter I have been not doing much, other than bible studies, cleaning and WATCHING DOCTOR WHO.

Gotta love Doctor who :)

Speaking of doctor who, in the last few days when i actually left the house (so basically wednesday, thursday) i saw a lot of doctor who stuff which made me go nuts. And then want to marathon it, so i watched a whole season worth of dr who. :)

I can just hear rellikami telling me to watch Scrubs instead. oh wells.

At any rate, the stuff i found was really awesome :) and i took pictures too.

Which i bet made the store owners think im mad, a teenage girl crouching on the ground giggling to herself looking at the doctor who stuff.

Oh this one was awesome. It's a lego set of all 11 doctors so far, with their clothing styles and particular screwdrivers/umbrella for the 7th doctor (he was a weird one. though the 5th doctor's coustume will always be most memorable to me)

At any rate this was so cool, i was squealing in the aisle. AND IT'S LEGO, so you can stand them up one lego tardis' and things.]

And they come with their own stands. Too awesome.

This is a lego rendition of season 6, episode 12, closing time. :)

When the doctor has to prevent Craig Owens from becoming a Cyberman, the Cybermen forget to contend with the power of human emotion.

And Stormageddon, dark overlord of all. :D Cutest baby out.

This one is quite possibly my dream item. Or at least on the list of it. But it's expensive, so i'll probs buy it as a gift to myself for finishing HSC after i get a job :) or the next item, which is as awesome, if not more. But this one is actually useful.

This is a sound effect darlek with projects the time. FRICKING AWESOME. It can be used as an alarm clock, so you'd wake up pretty quickly with threats of extermination. At least i would.

I forgot to take a photo of this one while i was in the comic book store, but this is from season 3, episode 9, the family of blood.

This fob watch is more than an ordinary fob watch. It disguises any time lord as a human being, hiding away their true identity and giving them a fake one istead. It also physically changes each time lord to become, anatomy wise, human as well. Which means no two hearts and all.

So really i could walk around with this and pretend that i'm not even human, i'm just a TIME LORD IN DISGUISE AND I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER.

----

So besides ranting about doctor who and watching doctor who, i have done other things so far this holidays. Such as playing games.

One thing i have played ALOT recently (and ML will contest) is Scramble with friends.

Which is like boggle. I think i suck at it, but apparently i'm not bad.

Anyway i was offended when LOTR was not considered a word. (the red means it's not a definined word in the dictionary)

 

If you want, afterwards you can tell me any words you find. The rules are you have to be able to reach each letter by one of the eight that surround it. So like a sudoku box. For example, hurt is a word.

---

Also lately i have been walking aorund and been seeing this everywhere. cross = love.

whoever's doing it, i think they're brilliant. :)

---

Oh. Went to city on thursday. Played pool and i actually won twice, with me and OW, the amazing noob pair that actually won. :D

Incredibly satisfying. :)

---

Also couldn't help but laugh when i saw this, because i do it like ALL THE TIME. seriously.

ok.

Bye kids

:)
