Doctor Le Qui?

I know what your (probably not) thinking. "Two posts in one day? How can this be?" but you're wrong. Its not two posts in one day, because I slept in between the two posts. That is how I say the universe works, and so that is how it works.
Ruths Guide to life 'Days': A day is defined as the period between the first time you wake up (after 00:00) untill the last time you go to sleep before waking up after the next 00:00.
Seeming as the last post was posted before I woke up (after 00:00) yesterday(/today), it still counts as yesterday. Thus I am not posting twice in one day. That would just be weird.
Back to the point. Todays topic, Doctor who is Awesome.
Yeah they may have changed it (Or so I've heard, I haven't really got around to watching my new Tom Baker Dr Who DVD quite yet.) but presumably its always good. (see prev brackets. The guy has a scarf and Jelly Babies though. How can that be not awesome? Yeah, as soon as I don't feel like I have impending deadlines I have to watch that now.) Its exiting, futuristic and at some points nicely predicatable but not always. (Oh gosh, theres Aliens here? Who'd a thunk it? ) I want to say it makes you feel happy, because I've just seen "Vampires in Venice", and next week its "Dream vs Reality". TBH I don't know why that makes me feel happy, especially the former. I mean most episodes seem to have a lot of 'Unless you are going to be a recuring character you only have a 20% survival chance' rule which I just made up.
Some episodes seem to be down right depressing.
(TV spacestations anyone? Seriously, how can anyone be happy after that ep.? Personally I find it worse than the second season finale on the downer front)
In fact, when I start to think about it, I don't even know why doctor who is that awesome. It is, but why? It generaly does the good ol' 'Hey lets have fun!- Oh no Aliens!-Oh no *insert name(s) here* died!- Hooray Dr Who won!' thing. Its not like you'd want to be in any of the episodes, because I wouldn't fancy my chances of making it 'till the end credits. Except the dream episode, that would have been Hilarious if I were in it. We'd turn up 5 years in the future and I would be a fashionable ninja hero-spy and the neighbourhood would be terrorised by velociraptors with a seemingly irrational (I should never have let Hammond near those things) hatred for right arms. Admittedly that probably wouldn't be the case, otherwise more classic dream stuff would happen in the episode, (Although this is talking from memory, as it is showing next friday) but its nice to think it would. Its not like its ever going to happen anyway.
So why do we like Dr qui? Its it the tension and suspense?  The epic lines? The epic music? (Le gosh, I did not realise how much that music gets me buzzing!) The trailers, the characters, the doctor himself? Is it the fact that I literally just finished watching it? Yeah, that's the most likely answer. I always hype about stuff I just finished, but still. Doctor who is cool.
Oooh Hey! Its tomorrow by your standards as well now! Now everyone can be happy.

So untill next time, do your work/stay in school/have fun/give peace a chance.

Spiffing day old chaps!

Today was a good day. Today was a day of doing little to no work, and meaning it.
I went shopping, I drew some picture, I ate real food - with mustard in it, and I do not feel disappointed in myself. Today was not a day of failing to achive my goals, because I started my day without the limitaions of work involved goals. My mum was right, in not trying to do so much stuff, I have achived so much more that I was before.
Also small groups was today (as its Thursday) so I saw and talked to other human people as well.* Which is good for you. We have missions week coming up in Feb, which is kindof a big thing for Cu.
I also had a bit more of an idea for my poster, I was thinking of taking a bit of a change in direction with it. Partly because I can't think of any other work related popish culture references, and partly because I was reading the TV tropes page for 'stiff upper lip'. So I was thinking of something that says idk 'Brittish' / 'never give up' sort of stuff, although I'm still open for the whole work related pop cutlure quotes.
I know no one out there like commenting on my blog, but seriously suggestions would be appreciated. What do you think of the Galaxy Quest moto? "Never give up, never surrender!"? It lacks a bit, but I'm really in need of a change. I could put some kind of moustache and monocle in the corner? Anyone?
On another point, while I was attempting to work, I ended up with a word document of fictional geniuses. Is there anything I can do with a list of fictional geniuses? I can't think of anything, but that leaves me with a useless list.
Oh and for all you lovely caring people who were dying to know, my ulcer has finally decided to leave. Yaaaay.
Edit: Also, someone who is not related to me voted on my poll -->
Thank you kind sir/madame, a shout out to you for making me happy.

*I was going to put brakets here, but they got a bit long. Then I re-wrote it so it's no longer relevant to above astrix. I used to love onepiece, but now I'm not so sure. Stuff happened, bit hero heavy, a little less funny and a lack of character to watch it for. I wrote a fair amount but that was pretty much what I said.

A boring post. Seriously.

Dude, I have so much free time and so little concentration. Darn you internet for enticing me in!
I did literally nothing yesterday, and so far I'm finding it really hard to settle down today. Stupid youtube's got me hooked again. *Angry mumblings about series'es*
And that's why I'm here. Because I am feeling really, really distractable.
NOTHING IS HAPPERNING! All I have to do is work, and that is boring. I need to go out or something.... but where?
I could go shopping, but I'm not due to shop untill wedns. Although I have been consuming more vegetables that I origneally planned, and I think I need some meat? No wait! I have food, its just all in the freezer.
Well that's me stumped. Good ol' lo-bro. I can't remember what I used to do with my free time before Christmas. Did I have free time? Did I really just do work and get distracted from work?
Man this is slightly weird. I could make cake, or walk around. Exept also I have misplaced my key-card, so once I leave the building I'll need someone else with a key to let me back in. Which is not very reliable.
Guess I better start looking for my key-card then. Joy.
Exam leave is sooooo rubbish. bleh.

127(-120) hours

I know its not going to help, me coming and complaining to you but its 4:44 5 am and I'm in a bit of a dilema.
I'm doing my work, and its all going well. Slowly but surely the practise test results are creeping up, 1/7, 2/7, 4/4, 5/7 ... but then disaster strikes!
I got stuck. Not in the working, but the how. Something is wrong, and I don't know what. I meddled around a bit, but time was passing, what was I supposed to do. I called in re-enforecements from the lovely people at yahoo answers, but they couldn't come. I checked out the social networks but its 4am. There's no one for miles. Then comes the other realisation. Its 4am. I'm going to feel this tomorrow. I've drunk the awake bringing coffee and I feel awake right now, but can I pull this off tomorrow? I don't think so. I like working at night, but I can only usually manage a proper late nighter once in a row and going on 5am is pushing it even for me.
This is the time when the beloved quiet and darkness of these hours can turn on you. You thought they were on your side, you forget that they are really completely neutral.
What do you do now? Do you stick with your max 71% (brain motors probably being less reliable because of the time) or do you twist? Twisting could give you the chance to ask around for help, but at the cost of potentially losing your awakeness and your 'roll' of maths thoughts.
Tis a dilema indeed my friends. What path should our vallient warrior take?

Lack of updates ahead...

Hey textbox.
You're still my no.1 text box and all, but I'm probs not Gonna be around for a little bit.
I'm a bit of a one track input on the webs person sometimes, and even though I do have exams atm I have a previous engagement with another website for the indefinate short term future.
So I may not see you so much. Its not for ever. Max I give it a week or two, although I do tend to underestimate. I'm sure no-one will even notice my absence. :)
In other news, I have exams and an ulcer. Stupid ulcer. :(


Anyone remember this awesome piece of music?
I finished reading the Nightmare Fuel section for Pokemon, but there's still something that is a tiny bit creepy about the game. Not in a really creepy way, its not as bad as the ZZAZZ glitch, or glitch city. Its just that you're walking around as a character in the game, and you have this kind of pretend free will. People talk to you as if you're talking to them, but they can't here what you really want to say. I suppose the only time it really makes any difference is the whole 'Gary's Rattata' thing [Although personally I don't really think that's your fault. Pkmn don't die in pkmn battles.] (and not being able to join TR). If you really had free will that would not have nessicarily happerned.
Still, pokemon knew what it was doing with its background music.

The ramblings of a wandering mind

Today I am just going to talk ramble at you. Because you are a textbox and that is kindof the reason for your existance. It doesn't really follow on much or make much sense, but seeming as I don't really think anyone reads this, and its kind of a public diary anyways. Or a photograph album. The sort of thing you look back on in ages time and thing "Good times", or "Le Gosh how embarrassing, what was I thinking?" or "Whatever did happen to those Glocks. (Glove Socks)".
It would be nice if you could put experience on paper. Or text. I don't like words, they never really get what you want to say across in the way you want it to be. They don't seem to remember the lights and the sounds or things like that.
Not that I'm having a most amazing experience atm, its pretty normal. Not that normal makes it less cool.
That's why night is awesome. 01:10. fairylights. Trock. The webs and the maths. (Well ok, the computery maths stuff.)
Its like when your on a train, you know where you hope  things just stop. (Unless you have deadlines, but that's different.) Its almost like its not yesterday and its not tomorrow, so what is today anyways? Its not like worrying is going to solve anything, and you don't have to rush around or do anything. The time would only go to sleeping anyways. Just try to make sure you get enough of it, because sleep is healthy for you.
That is one of the reasons that night time is the best time. (There are a lot)
Although by the best, I kindof mean "a really great" because the day is often pretty cool as well. You know life can be pretty good. I'm sure I can be pretty grumpy and fed up, but if I'm feeling good at some point then most moments in time from the point of veiw of that point have probably averaged out as pretty good. So as long as you (by you, I probably mean me) feel good at some point in your life, then at some point in your life your life will have been awesome. Awesome is cool. It would be cool to be awesome. Not awesome as in the fact that I already am awesome, but as in proper movie style awesome. Maybe not. It would be nice if my imagination was pretty limitless. Sometimes it gets pretty close, but often you (I) always get annoying limits. I'm wearing socks on my hands.
Limitations can be good I suppose. Otherwise you could do one of those "to much knowledge" head a-sploding things. Or be like the guy in 'the curious incident of the dog in the night time' and just crash.
Thinking about thinking makes my brain hurt a bit.
Dreaming is good. Its like the perfect mix of imagination. It takes the good bits and makes them believable, but manages to leave out all the things that your brain gets muddled up in. Like movies full of fridge-logic, but better because you're in them.
You can be a hero, destroy the world, survive zombies/aliens/tv stars. You can have limitless powers but it never gets boring. True sometimes you get those illogical idiots, and yeah I can never seem to just leave them be. Maybe its because I'm just a really nice person deep down. Maybe I can never be an evil overlord because I don't have what it takes, or maybe it could just be the rules in my head. No one can be too over powered, even superman has his kryptonite. Its worth it though. I'll help some frustrating idiots for super cool ablilites or a hero status. Or a badass trenchcoat. Good times.
Goodnight then guys.
I won't ramble again anytime soon (hopefully).
You might think I was weird. (lol)

Happy New Year!

I'm still not properly back on the internets yet, although what with my on coming tests and exams as well as some pretty confounding coursework, I don't suppose it will be much longer until I spring back into highly distractable web action. (Don't get too exited though guys, I'm not suddenly going to become really Internet sociable. I'll just slowly revert to being slightly more around then not.) You know what's weird? Blogger says 'distractable' is spelt wrong, but global autocorrect says it is spelt correctly. Hmmmmmmm.
Anyways. A great big HAPPY NEW YEAR to one and all a dang y'all!
To start here is a breif update on the past absents of posts:
  • A new year started.
  • My 'doing of the maths works' started
  • Me and my brother bought a couple of SPs off of teh eBays.
  • I bought Tactics Advance for GBA off of teh eBays.
  • MY MUM FOUND MY SP!!!!! Yeah, it was behind my bed. I can't belive I never thought of looking there. For 6 months. There was quite a bit of stuff there. I'm so happy,I thought it was gone forever.
Although that does leave me with the problem of an extra SP, but that's not really much of a problem. Also I saved over my Tactics advance progress by mashing A stupidly. Which was a bit gutting. >:( 'I will finish this game one day!'

I also got loads of parcels today. Even if you buy them yourself, parcels are always very exiting. Even if one of them is a maths textbook, although that is less exiting. If all your parcels are maths textbooks it stops being exiting once you have opened them. XD I have cool stuff.
The 'me and my sister joint library of books' (Yeah I really need a snappier name for that. Any suggestions?) has acquired one piece vol 2. That's pretty Awesome.
I have also discovered how to make minecraft skins. Which is fun. So far I've done a pirate, Jessie (pokemon), Sanji (one piece), Koyuki (Keroro Gunso), and my probable fave: My brother. (It is his minecraft figure I've been making, so he should really be able to play as himself).
Also, another thing that has happened that I don't suppose anyone would really care about is that I caught up with ATFW. Its Gonna be a bit sad not being able to see a new episode anytime I want, but I'm sure its Gonna be worth the wait. I also think I got a good episode to catch up on. (A three parter?! Sweet as.)

Oh yeah! I also have a 'driving test of doom' or something like that hanging around. Apparently its on Monday. So if you see me on Monday its probably best not to mention cars or something ok?
