The world is round and upside down

spiderpigI'm rather amused (actually amused isn't strong enough a word) with this.
Although there is no real privacy on the net, I do expect there to be some sort of freedom of speech. Seriously, if it took the Secret Service a few minutes to figure out that "no, this girl and her family aren't a threat to the nation", shouldn't they be able to INFER that what she wrote was completely satirical? Aren't they supposed to possess relatively high IQ, or is inferring stuff simply too much for them?
Too bad I didn't read the original entry. Come to think of it, Bush always garnered a lot of violent thoughts and rather "nyaaarrggggghhh" views. *facefault* Does this mean that if I start dissing Bush and talk about home-made bombs in the same entry (OMFG I JUST DID), they'd come whooshing down on a jet to talk to me and find out if I'm the incarnation of Osama Bin Laden? :\
Seriously, please don't do that. Not only does it waste precious resources like PETROL, I shall clarify now that I do not posssess the patience nor intelligience to manufacture a bomb or any other pro-terrorist items. Actually, it's just the patience only. I figure that I should be able to make a bomb. :( Lucky that I'm such a lazy ass and complying (<--Is there such a word? *sheepish grin*) person.
Oh well. That goes to show you that the world is round and upside down. I like that phrase like how a mother loves her baby. I thought it up myself! GO QUOTE ME NOW. XO It is my life's pleasurebesides trying to get laid. I AM JOKING. to think up of witty and sometimes nonscensical phrases like that.
Today was a really BLEARGH day. We had to go to school to collect our report books (uh, that wasn't the BLEARGH part, but it was boring enough) and thankfully, my aggregate has been moderated to a 20, obviously based on my EXCELLENT conduct grade. Gosh, if sleeping in class and handing in math and science assignments late (sometimes not even handing them in!!) counts as excellent, imagine if I didn't commit all those "crimes". Wow. I'd be that most pansy girl in the school.
Now the question is, do I want to "follow the crowd" and just throw myself into any junior college for three months just to "be there", or should I do something productive, like get a job. I need views views views. It's depressing that I only got 2 As for my prelims, out of the expected 5. KIDS, DO NOT GET SICK DURING YOUR EXAMS. IT IS BAD.
The school invited this ex-beauty queen to give us a talk about proper etiquette(somehow, I think I spelt this wrongly), not the garbled Singaporean version and how towalk glide around the ballroom without looking like we've got permanent brain damage. Usually, these kind of beauty queens strike me as almost having no sense of humor. This one was hilarious to the point that she was nearly CRUDE.
Then we had graduation/prom rehearsals where we had to line up to receive awards (I'm receiving a Good Service: Merit award!! w00t!) and traipse down the canteen in a mock procession. *deadpan* That was really "boh liao" (a complete waste of time) for us, especially with someone who has the flu. They checked our gowns and cocktail dresses and blah. I didn't bring mine as an act of rebelliousness. XD;; After all, hot pink is NOT a pastel colour, is it? Someone tell me it is! Apparently another girl bought a hot pink dress, and we shall boycott the prom together with my other friend who got a DARK BLUE gown. Worse. I shall once again abuse the power of PARENTS to get in, if they threaten to throw me out.
Despite feeling all sickly, I stupidly went out with my friends to celebrate Mok's birthday, which was on Monday. I had to borrow money >__> and we played funky (read: childish) games which made the loser eat cold Cheese Fries and leftover chicken pieces. Grah! Then we took neoprints like all Singaporean schoolgirls do. >__> It's scary how many I have, even though I don't like them much. Oh well, it's an interesting yet expensive way of archiving memories. Being bored and not used to the lives where we don't have to study after school (!!!!!!!!!!!111oneoneone), we walked around and THEY bought things. I just watched them and let myself be compared to jewellery. "OMG! THAT LOOKS LIKE YOU!!!" :\
On another note, I've been rejected. But I expected it, after making a flop out of my auditions. :( The person who called me sounded surprised to hear me being "okay" about it. Then she asked me where I was going to go, to which I told her that I didn't know.
I think you guys must already be sick of me doing all these "wish list" stuff. OH WELL.
Gackted from many people
Step One
- Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
- If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.
- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.
Step Two
- Surf around your friendslist (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:
- If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.
You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.
There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.
From least wanted to most wanted:
10. Anything that has to do with pigs. Like drawings, stuffed toys, fanfics (WTF?!), stationary... etc. I like pigs. Don't look at me that way.
9. Kakashi fanart, because I am a Kakashi whore.
8. Snail mail. >o<
7. COPIC markers / multi-liners
6. Jeans. I am jeans-less. Guys' jeans, girls' jeans...
5. BOHO CLOTHES! >O<
4. Manga. Of any kind. I like manga. Yes I do. And anime merchandise. >_>
3. NARUTO DVDs.
2. Canon 10D
1. A Selmer Silver saxophone. <3s
XDXDXD The last one just cracks me up. TOMATO TREE.Don't tomatoes grow in bushes or...?
That reminds me. Toh-MAY-toes or toh-MAH-toes?
