So, I'm sitting in the state library listening to Paradise Oskar and eating dried apricots. Yes, I know, I'm awesome. You can now all bask in the glory of my randomness.
So, this morning in my flute ensemble rehearsal, I learnt several different, non-traditional flute techniques. These included jet whistles (cover the entire flute embouchure and blow really quickly and harshly. It's cool), "windy sounds" as my conductor called them (similar to jet whistles but you play a scale, or random notes while covering the embouchure), pizzicatos (making popping sounds with your lips into the flute, or doing a weird thrusting thing with your tongue) and tongue rams (covering the embouchure and actually pushing your tongue through it, kind of. It's sounds weirder and grosser than it is). Personally, I love these weird techniques. Last year we learnt some and I thought they were weird but now, I love them. My school music teacher and ex-flute teacher and I were briefly talking about some of them (none of the aforementioned ones, though. I was talking to her about the technique were you actually say "ch" or "sh" into your flute) and she told me I could argue, for my Music Extension assignment, if these kinds of things are really "playing the flute". I could tell by the way she said it that, she doesn't think it's proper flute playing. I disagree. I mean, everything changes over time. 200 years ago, no one would sit in state library on a laptop listening to music through earphones and blogging, but I am now. They way we talk and write has changed so much. Styles of music have changed so much, so why can't the way we play our instruments change?
I don't know why I chose to play the flute when I was 7 years old. It was probably because it was girly and pretty- the reason most girls start to learn, if they are young. Now, however, I don't like all those pretty, frilly, Classical/Baroque, "typical flute" songs. That's what flute is stereotyped to be. High notes, quick notes, pretty notes. I love the flute in the lowest octave. It can sound so beautiful played in the lower octave. It can sounds cool high too, but when I play it, it sounds... eughcky (My new word, guys!) . I love slow, minor, emotional low flute songs. I like fast, pretty ones too, but not predictable ones. I love those songs you listen to and you go, "Oooh! That's interesting..." because you heard something you didn't expect to hear.
Maybe that's why I like these weird flute techniques. I don't think they are anymore "valid" than traditional flute techniques or any less valid. I think they're all as good as each other, it's just different.
Anyway, as you can see, I'm not doing a very good job of doing my Maths assignment.
Have you ever gone to sleep in a TERRIBLE mood (like, almost crying yourself to sleep mood) and woken up the next morning totally happy? Like, you think about the night before and you feel totally indifferent towards it? I had one of these experiences. Not going to go into the details because, frankly, talking about a bad night will make me feel... bad... and I'm feeling fine right now. A little hungry, but fine.
"When I decide to come running like Lancelot and the sirens are singing, and the sirens are singing, that I am too late..."
Guys, can I have Paradise Oskar come running to me like Lancelot? *cough* Anyway...
I'M NEARLY OUT OF DRIED APRICOTS, GUYS! AH.
I watched episode 1 of The Glee Project yesterday, as requested by nath_alex01. It was pretty good, actually. I gave up on watching Glee around half way through this season. Actually, I missed an episode and therefore didn't watch the next one and then eventually I gave up. I wasn't liking it as much. It wasn't bad but it wasn't the great, funny, still heartwarming, different Glee I knew from season 1. I loved season 1 Glee. So much. I miss it. It was good. Thinking about that usually makes me depressed. Oh well. Back to The Glee Project. I choose favourites and least favourites pretty quickly. If any of you could be stuffed to look it up, or if you know it, I shall tell you my favourites and least favourites. I really like Ellis (she's 18 and looks like she's 10. I can relate. I like her weird humour and her voice is pretty cool), Marissa (She hasn't said much, but her voice is really good and different), Cameron (Firstly, he's kind of adorkable (stole that word off Gojo, I think) and I LOVE his voice. Love it), Damien (pretty cool voice, nothing spectacular, but I ADORE his Irish accent. I swear, I could listen to him for hours) and, strangely enough, Emily. I only like her because her stuck-up, flirtiness is funny. Anyway, once I've done a little bit of work here, I might watch episode 2. Just cause the preview showed Lindsay being bitchy towards Ellis. I like bitchy TV people and I like Ellis, so yeah.
I have GOT to stop eating. I'm not even sure if you're allowed to eat in here... Whoops...
There's this kinda weird couple here. I think they're Japanese. They are funny. N'aww.
... The guy keeps running away and laughing and she's all, "LOL." Well, not actually. She does literally LOL, she doesn't say it. Now she's running. In the opposite direction... As you do. And they've left their laptops and weird camera and container of gum on the little tables. Oh my gosh! She ran over to this window on the other side from where the guy ran, and she looked at and he walked past. They're now kinda talking through the window and laughing. They're leaving the window now. These two are strange...
Oh no! Paradise Oskar's album has finished. What should I listen to now?
The more I eat, the hungrier I get. Fml.
I don't think I can do any of my Maths assignment here. I need paper and pens and space. I'll do this at home. Now, I guess I'll do... Music or something. Better stop blogging then :)

Paul Likes Girl Pigs and Jim.
This shall be one of my signature Random Posts as I am bored, should be doing school work, and am avoiding doing a depressing post about how I feel lately, because it will result in me being a weird, emotional mess for the rest of the night. Not pretty.
My brother and I just sang a strange, impromptu song about how I couldn't find the kitchen scissors. It was loud, somewhat tuneful and completely random. Also, quite repetitive. I was getting a little too carried away and didn't realise my brother was practically yelling that he'd found them, because I thought he was singing some epic harmony or something. He found my failure amusing. Earlier, my other brother and I were singing "The Power of Love" really loudly and out-of-tunely with several bits hummed due to our lack of knowledge in the lyrics departments. Sometimes I want to strangle my brothers violently, but it's times like these that I get all sentimental. Maybe it's because I know that, with my current Tertiary Education Plan, I will be only living here for another year and a half before moving approximately 6 hours away. I won't miss their annoying nagging, ignoring of me and their terrible grammar (they aren't quite as academically minded as I have always been...) but I will miss the times when I sit at Maccas with them teaching them about OTPs and discussing our OTPs for every TV show we can think of, or the times we sing songs really loudly just because we want to. My older, younger brother and I are known for singing the entirety of "Bohemian Rhapsody" together. Guitar solos included. We are amazing.
I was going to get changed into my PJs, but I've just ended up sitting here for ten minutes in my school uniform with my PJs on my lap. Why do I fail so much?
I'm in my PJs now. You guys totes care. Don't lie to me, I know you do.
Today in PE we had to Design A Game. We were given two bibs, four markers, a rugby ball and a skipping rope and, in groups of four, had to create a game. Gojo, Phantomess, White Ribbon and I kinda failed. We had cool ideas like pushing people out of circles and hitting the rugby ball with a skipping rope. Our PE teacher heard one of our ideas and just looked at us and said, "Okaaayyyy......" with a look that said, "What are these girls on?" and walked away. Gosh.
I was reading a couple of my old posts then and I found one where I did a little Paradise Oskar fangirling. Dang. Now I'm listening to his album after the Fangirl Session that occured in Music today with Tenuto Tuo. We watched several videos of him and Tenuto Tuo had to deal with my creepiness being all, "He's still adorable even in a bad-quality video! Why am I not there in Finland seeing him play live? His voice is so much lower when he talks! HE'S ADORABLE!" Seriously, he sings relatively high and talks MUCH lower. It''s so weird. It has kinda confused Tenuto Tuo and I. "Da da dam, da da dam, da da da da da da da da dam."
AH! FANGIRLING IS OCCURING. I swear, this guy has become one of my favourite musicians. I just adore his music. I mean, no matter what he looked like, I would love his music. It's the kinda stuff I like and his voice is wonderful and the fact that he writes his own songs is so cool. And... he's adorable. *cough* Stop, girl.
Huh. Just briefly read why his stage name is Paradise Oskar. That's prety dang cool. Now, you know I'm a fan when I start slapping people who insult him. That happened today when my friend heard Tenuto Tuo and us playing "Jimmy's Song" (I was singing along) and my friend was all, "Who's this woman?" I proceeded to yell, "HE'S NOT A WOMAN! DO NOT INSULT HIM!" and slap him on the arm several times. He proceeded to call my dear Paradise Oskar a transvestite, just to annoy me, I'm sure, and I yelled and slapped more. Humph.
My dad came in to tell me that cowboys had towns called things like Loonyville and... something else I can't remember. He said one of them was called Peepee or something and I chuckled like a 6 year old. I swear my maturity has gone down the drain lately. *shakes head in shame*
"Thank you for making me feel like the biggest loser alive. And thank you for throwing away these three years of my life." These lines make my little heart break. Poor Paradise Oskar.
The entirety of the song "Dear Mother" breaks my heart. Oh dear. Now I'm fangirling while tearing up. NOT a good combination.
Just realised it's 8pm and I haven't done my English homework. I COULD do it in my spare tomorrow morning... Heh. I love spares. But, if I do it now, I can use my spare tomorrow to do Maths or Physics revision... Or read the book I got out for English Extension today. I'm really getting into reading classic literary texts lately. Well, kinda. This book is called "The House of Mirth." I'm actually pretty excited to read it. I told my mum I want Sense & Sensibility and told her it'd be a GREAT birthday present, so I hope she gets that hint ;)
Oh no! The Paradise Oskar album has finished playing. I'm depressed now.
Just realised I'm missing Masterchef. It's an elimination between 3 people. One of them is one of my favourites. The other two are people I've been wanting to go home for weeks and weeks. Can't believe I'm missing it.
Better go see if my family's watching it before it finishes. Hope y'all enjoyed this post about nothing.

Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep.
Yeah. Imma copy Phantomess, Gojo AND Lainey and do a list of 100 random things about myself.
1. I can't look people in the eyes for very long. Especially not teachers. It makes it awkward as...
2. I don't like driving. I have an awful fear of driving and just wish I had my P's and the confidence to drive anywhere already. Having my Learner's freaks me out.
3. I actually really like public transport. Well, not all of its issues and unpunctuality, but I like being on public transport.
4. When I was a kid, I used to find it soo exciting to ride the train to the city. Both were such exciting treats for me. I still love both so much.
5. I love potatoes. Chips, mashed potato, roast potato, wedges. I just love potatoes. Sure, they are best cooked in a lot of oil with quite a bit of salt, but hey.
6. I wish I was a gamer but, honestly, I suck.
7. I suck at Pacman. A lot.
8. When I play Halo (or Halo 2) with my little brother, I can never aim properly and that, coupled with my not-so-quick reflexes, means that he kills me about 17 times and I kill him once or twice, if I'm lucky. This results in my hitting him with cushions yelling, "LET ME KILL YOU!"
9. I realised I can have quite a violent streak when I was going to play Doom or something (I was in a First-Person Shooter game mood) and there was this really long intro thing and I pressed every button to try and skip it but it wouldn't skip. Instead I sat there moaning going, "Oh my gosh. I just wanna shoot someone!"
10. I'm not vert creative. Sure, I play two instruments and get As in English and Music and do decently in Music Extension and English Extension, but I'm actually not all that creative.
11. I'm not that mathematically minded either. I guess I'm a bit of both.
12. I'm a left-hander.
13. My dad always said that if you are right-handed, you generally wear watches and other jewellery on your left hand, cause it doesn't get in the way of when you write, or something. I can't wear jewellery on my right hand. It annoys the heck out of me.
14. I wanna go to Broadway someday. So bad. So, so, so bad.
15. For some reason, I really like the sound of Canada and really want to go there. I don't even know that much about Canada.
16. I'm not all that great with pop culture.
17. Or general knowledge.
18. I haven't seen most movies that people my age have seen.
19. I haven't heard of most bands that people my age listen to. Or used to listen to. Or those classic bands from like, 30 years ago. I don't know their music.
20. I have an extremely random selection of music on my iPod.
21. I kinda regret giving up Chinese and I do really miss Chinese classes with Tenuto Tuo.
22. I have the really bad habit of singing along to songs when I'm listening to my iPod because my voice sounds like theirs and I forget that everyone else can hear me and I most likely sound awful.
23. I used to really want to learn guitar. Acoustic. Now, if I were to learn guitar, I'd wanna learn bass. Not sure why.
24. I played the flute and always wanted to do piccolo but now, I love low instruments. Double Bass, Bass Clarinet, Tuba FTW.
25. I never used to like the trumpet much at all. I really like it now and wish I'd learnt it earlier.
26. I don't actually see what the fuss with being tall is about. I like being short...
27. I've always liked Saturdays and Fridays the best. Sundays are cool, I guess, but I usually spend them doing homework and assignments and getting depressed that it's nearly Monday.
28. Whenever I see people crying on TV or movies, I begin to get teary, whether I care about the character or their story or whatever's going on.
29. People are all, "You know you're an Australian when you can run in thongs." I can't run in thongs.
30. I am listening to the last song on Paradise Oskar's album, Da Da Dam Acoustic and I am officially a huge fan of this guy. I am like, practically in love with him now :)
31. Doing this whole list is a lot harder than I thought it would be.
32. When I type, my left pinky sticks up really funny.
33. When I play sax, my left pinky sticks out really funny.
34. I have sucky flute posture. I always remember the time my first flute teacher said that flautists hold their flutes up straight because flautists are snobby.
35. I like to sit on the computer with my earphones in even if there's no music playing.
36. I sit cross-legged a lot.
37. When I'm not sitting cross-legged, I'm often sitting like guys sit, apparently.
38. If I eat a little bit of breakfast, I'll get more hungry than if I eat no breakfast.
39. If I'm really tired and not worried about anything at all, I'll lie in bed thinking about anything and everything and not be able to sleep.
40. I'm arguing with Tenuto Tuo over who'd make a better couple with Paradise Oskar. It's me btw. Unless Paradise Oskar is gay... I'm not going to look that up. Ok, yes I am...
41. I seem to have a bit of a different perception of "attractive" to everyone else. When little teen fangirls think some guy is "totes hot" I'm all, "Really?"
42. Tenuto Tuo and I have very different opinions on attractiveness. It's quite amusing.
43. I have a very long list of animes I want to watch.
44. I watched Honey and Clover for the first time in ages last night and, afterwards realised I'd skipped two episodes.
45. It takes me quite a few episodes to remember all characters' names. I refer to them as Glasses Guy or Dude With Blue Hair or Maid Chick etc.
46. I hate it when people ask, "How's life?" It's so broad and vague and I never know how to answer briefly. I usually respond by telling them how much I hate that question and they laugh.
47. When cleaning up my room when I was younger (like, 12 or 13 and younger), I used to pretend I was on some show where I organised other people's rooms and I would mouth to myself or talk in my head (or whisper) a commentary on how I was cleaning this room.
48. When I was younger, if my brothers and I cooked together, we used to pretend we were on a cooking show.
49. I kinda like cooking but I read the recipe a LOT because I do not wanna mess anything up.
50. (WE'RE HALF WAY THERE!) When going to use public restrooms, I read the "female" sign many, many times to make sure I'm not about to walk into the wrong room.
51. I hate walking in front of people. I freak out that they're all watching the way I walk or looking at my legs or somethin.
52. I'm starting a new anime. So excited! Only watched like, 3 minutes and I already like it.
53. My argument with Tenuto Tuo is getting pretty serious now. I wonder what Paradise Oskar would think.
54. I really want to watch an anime that'll make me cry.
55. "I have been dreaming about nobody but you, for the last few years. I have been screaming out for nobody but for, for the last few years," OMG PARADISE OSKAR.
56. Probably said this before, but make-up makes me feel sick. Even just the smell.
57. I get excited when I actually have proper conversations with people that aren't my friends or family. I go over the conversation a LOT because this kind of social interaction is rare.
58. I can't help analysing the metaphors and camera angles used in TV shows and movies now. Thanks, Senior English.
59. I often go ranting at the TV when ads are shown about weight loss or weight maintenance and it shows young, skinny, pretty young women "watching their weight". That is why people feel they must watch their weight- because the media tells you that skinny, pretty women need to watch their weight. For goodness sake, a small chocolate bar isn't going to make you fat. Chillax.
60. Despite this, I ain't happy with my weight. Sure, I don't think I'm fat, cause I'm not, but I wish I were a bit smaller.
61. Despite this, I will continue to eat unhealthy foods and not exercise.
62. This argument with Tenuto Tuo is still going and is resulting in us using caps lock a lot. I use caps lock a lot lately. SEE?
63. I really respect performers when they show emotion especially in musical theatre or just mainstream singer dudes. If I can hear genuine emotion in their music and their singer, their talent, or lack thereof, becomes less important.
64. I have a display folder filled with notes I passed with friends last year and letters from my friend, Old Man.
65. I am extremely sentimental. I'm all, "I wanna keep this bus ticket. It'll make me nostalgic in 5 years time."
66. I'm very nostalgic.
67. I should be doing Physics right now.
68. Or reading Pride and Prejudice.
69. LOLS 69. Makes me think of year 8 and my weird friends then. I don't remember a lot from back then.
70. I have a kinda sucky memory.
71. I like acoustic versions of songs. Sometimes more than the original.
72. I've never been to a concert. Well, early this year, there wasn't anyone I really wanted to see live. I wanted to go see Paramore, but did not. A few months later, I became obsessed with Relient K, the opening act for the Paramore concert. I have been kicking myself for not going ever since.
73. I still have the vein hope and fantasy that I'll see Relient K live and meet Matthew Thiessen and I'll restrain from squealing, "I LOVE YOU!"
74. Actually, I'd be all, "...."
75. Maybe not. Going to stage door so many times has shown me that, when a star is involved, I will do anything (like, get in their way and stop them from going to have drinks and talk to them and shove my program in their face) to get a signature and photo. I mean, I got two photos and... three signatures from David Harris, didn't I?
76. I don't like it when I act loud. I wanna yell at myself cause it feels fake.
77. I am determined to get this finished before I go to bed, even though I started HOURS ago.
78. I can't dance. I actually don't know how to dance. At all. So I don't try. I just bob. Or do stupid disco moves to be stupid.
79. Never read Harry Potter. Never watched Harry Potter. Not planning on it. Don't want to.
80. I do, however, want to read Sense and Sensibility.
81. I hope that my brothers didn't hear my singing along to Lipstick by Jedward then when they walked past my room. I really like this song.
82. I get car sick. It sucks. I can't read in the car or bus or plane or train.
83. Up until late last year (or early this year. I can't remember) I couldn't take tablets for the life of me. I still have difficulties often.
84. All that soluble stuff makes me gag.
85. Old Man bought me a Rubik's Cube for my last birthday and I really like it, but it just sits on my bookshelf looking cool. I can't solve it. Nor do I have the motivation to try very hard.
86. I can't play chess. Never been really properly taught the rules and I can never remember the things that people have taught me. I spend the whole time going, "Wait. So, which way can this piece move?"
87. I will forever love Bulgaria's entry in Eurovision this year. NA INAT!
88. I have done absolutely NO work tonight. Crud. I am a terrible student. LOL JKS I'm better than most people in my grade.
89. I'm a ribbon hoarder. I have lots of ribbons tied around the poles on my bed/desk.
90. I really don't like it when people make rape jokes or jokes about porn or whatever. I so don't find it funny, guys.
91. I love key changes in songs. So dramatic.
92. I also love it when there's like, a choir of back-up singers.
93. Or when an entire orchestra pops up in a climactic moment of the song. Yay for using the musical elements to create climactic moments.
94. Hi, I'm Clearly Unfocused and I am a TVTropes addict.
95. I could not be stuffed arguing over Paradise Oskar anymore. I mean, for goodness sake. Neither me or Tenuto Tuo are going to be loved by him so let's stop this facebook argument. Let us fangirl (or fanboy) from afar.
96. I'm good at that. Fangirling from afar. Seeing as though I mainly fangirl over anime characters, I can't really fangirl close up.
97. Up until about 2 years ago, I hated wearing sneakers. I only wore thongs. Now, I practically only wear sneakers. And boots.
98. I don't totally hate the UKs Eurovision song. Despite the boy band. It's not as bad when you're not watching them and you try and forget they're a boy band.
99. I still would love to be a voice actor. It'd be awesome. If I couldn't do that, I'd love to work for an anime company. Not that I know what I could do, not knowing animation and not being able to do voice acting. Fffffsssss.
100. I'M DONE. My face is really hot. Like, fever-wise, not attractiveness-wise.
CIAO. I'M OFF TO WATCH A FRUITS BASKET ABRIDGED AND READ SOME PRIDE AND PREJUDICE.
1. I can't look people in the eyes for very long. Especially not teachers. It makes it awkward as...
2. I don't like driving. I have an awful fear of driving and just wish I had my P's and the confidence to drive anywhere already. Having my Learner's freaks me out.
3. I actually really like public transport. Well, not all of its issues and unpunctuality, but I like being on public transport.
4. When I was a kid, I used to find it soo exciting to ride the train to the city. Both were such exciting treats for me. I still love both so much.
5. I love potatoes. Chips, mashed potato, roast potato, wedges. I just love potatoes. Sure, they are best cooked in a lot of oil with quite a bit of salt, but hey.
6. I wish I was a gamer but, honestly, I suck.
7. I suck at Pacman. A lot.

10. I'm not vert creative. Sure, I play two instruments and get As in English and Music and do decently in Music Extension and English Extension, but I'm actually not all that creative.
11. I'm not that mathematically minded either. I guess I'm a bit of both.
12. I'm a left-hander.
13. My dad always said that if you are right-handed, you generally wear watches and other jewellery on your left hand, cause it doesn't get in the way of when you write, or something. I can't wear jewellery on my right hand. It annoys the heck out of me.
14. I wanna go to Broadway someday. So bad. So, so, so bad.
15. For some reason, I really like the sound of Canada and really want to go there. I don't even know that much about Canada.
16. I'm not all that great with pop culture.
17. Or general knowledge.
18. I haven't seen most movies that people my age have seen.
19. I haven't heard of most bands that people my age listen to. Or used to listen to. Or those classic bands from like, 30 years ago. I don't know their music.
20. I have an extremely random selection of music on my iPod.
21. I kinda regret giving up Chinese and I do really miss Chinese classes with Tenuto Tuo.
22. I have the really bad habit of singing along to songs when I'm listening to my iPod because my voice sounds like theirs and I forget that everyone else can hear me and I most likely sound awful.
23. I used to really want to learn guitar. Acoustic. Now, if I were to learn guitar, I'd wanna learn bass. Not sure why.
24. I played the flute and always wanted to do piccolo but now, I love low instruments. Double Bass, Bass Clarinet, Tuba FTW.
25. I never used to like the trumpet much at all. I really like it now and wish I'd learnt it earlier.
26. I don't actually see what the fuss with being tall is about. I like being short...
27. I've always liked Saturdays and Fridays the best. Sundays are cool, I guess, but I usually spend them doing homework and assignments and getting depressed that it's nearly Monday.
28. Whenever I see people crying on TV or movies, I begin to get teary, whether I care about the character or their story or whatever's going on.
29. People are all, "You know you're an Australian when you can run in thongs." I can't run in thongs.
30. I am listening to the last song on Paradise Oskar's album, Da Da Dam Acoustic and I am officially a huge fan of this guy. I am like, practically in love with him now :)
31. Doing this whole list is a lot harder than I thought it would be.
32. When I type, my left pinky sticks up really funny.
33. When I play sax, my left pinky sticks out really funny.
34. I have sucky flute posture. I always remember the time my first flute teacher said that flautists hold their flutes up straight because flautists are snobby.
35. I like to sit on the computer with my earphones in even if there's no music playing.
36. I sit cross-legged a lot.
37. When I'm not sitting cross-legged, I'm often sitting like guys sit, apparently.
38. If I eat a little bit of breakfast, I'll get more hungry than if I eat no breakfast.
39. If I'm really tired and not worried about anything at all, I'll lie in bed thinking about anything and everything and not be able to sleep.
40. I'm arguing with Tenuto Tuo over who'd make a better couple with Paradise Oskar. It's me btw. Unless Paradise Oskar is gay... I'm not going to look that up. Ok, yes I am...
41. I seem to have a bit of a different perception of "attractive" to everyone else. When little teen fangirls think some guy is "totes hot" I'm all, "Really?"
42. Tenuto Tuo and I have very different opinions on attractiveness. It's quite amusing.
43. I have a very long list of animes I want to watch.
44. I watched Honey and Clover for the first time in ages last night and, afterwards realised I'd skipped two episodes.
45. It takes me quite a few episodes to remember all characters' names. I refer to them as Glasses Guy or Dude With Blue Hair or Maid Chick etc.
46. I hate it when people ask, "How's life?" It's so broad and vague and I never know how to answer briefly. I usually respond by telling them how much I hate that question and they laugh.
47. When cleaning up my room when I was younger (like, 12 or 13 and younger), I used to pretend I was on some show where I organised other people's rooms and I would mouth to myself or talk in my head (or whisper) a commentary on how I was cleaning this room.
48. When I was younger, if my brothers and I cooked together, we used to pretend we were on a cooking show.
49. I kinda like cooking but I read the recipe a LOT because I do not wanna mess anything up.
50. (WE'RE HALF WAY THERE!) When going to use public restrooms, I read the "female" sign many, many times to make sure I'm not about to walk into the wrong room.
51. I hate walking in front of people. I freak out that they're all watching the way I walk or looking at my legs or somethin.
52. I'm starting a new anime. So excited! Only watched like, 3 minutes and I already like it.
53. My argument with Tenuto Tuo is getting pretty serious now. I wonder what Paradise Oskar would think.
54. I really want to watch an anime that'll make me cry.
55. "I have been dreaming about nobody but you, for the last few years. I have been screaming out for nobody but for, for the last few years," OMG PARADISE OSKAR.
56. Probably said this before, but make-up makes me feel sick. Even just the smell.
57. I get excited when I actually have proper conversations with people that aren't my friends or family. I go over the conversation a LOT because this kind of social interaction is rare.
58. I can't help analysing the metaphors and camera angles used in TV shows and movies now. Thanks, Senior English.
59. I often go ranting at the TV when ads are shown about weight loss or weight maintenance and it shows young, skinny, pretty young women "watching their weight". That is why people feel they must watch their weight- because the media tells you that skinny, pretty women need to watch their weight. For goodness sake, a small chocolate bar isn't going to make you fat. Chillax.
60. Despite this, I ain't happy with my weight. Sure, I don't think I'm fat, cause I'm not, but I wish I were a bit smaller.
61. Despite this, I will continue to eat unhealthy foods and not exercise.
62. This argument with Tenuto Tuo is still going and is resulting in us using caps lock a lot. I use caps lock a lot lately. SEE?
63. I really respect performers when they show emotion especially in musical theatre or just mainstream singer dudes. If I can hear genuine emotion in their music and their singer, their talent, or lack thereof, becomes less important.
64. I have a display folder filled with notes I passed with friends last year and letters from my friend, Old Man.
65. I am extremely sentimental. I'm all, "I wanna keep this bus ticket. It'll make me nostalgic in 5 years time."
66. I'm very nostalgic.
67. I should be doing Physics right now.
68. Or reading Pride and Prejudice.
69. LOLS 69. Makes me think of year 8 and my weird friends then. I don't remember a lot from back then.
70. I have a kinda sucky memory.
71. I like acoustic versions of songs. Sometimes more than the original.
72. I've never been to a concert. Well, early this year, there wasn't anyone I really wanted to see live. I wanted to go see Paramore, but did not. A few months later, I became obsessed with Relient K, the opening act for the Paramore concert. I have been kicking myself for not going ever since.
73. I still have the vein hope and fantasy that I'll see Relient K live and meet Matthew Thiessen and I'll restrain from squealing, "I LOVE YOU!"
74. Actually, I'd be all, "...."
75. Maybe not. Going to stage door so many times has shown me that, when a star is involved, I will do anything (like, get in their way and stop them from going to have drinks and talk to them and shove my program in their face) to get a signature and photo. I mean, I got two photos and... three signatures from David Harris, didn't I?
76. I don't like it when I act loud. I wanna yell at myself cause it feels fake.
77. I am determined to get this finished before I go to bed, even though I started HOURS ago.
78. I can't dance. I actually don't know how to dance. At all. So I don't try. I just bob. Or do stupid disco moves to be stupid.
79. Never read Harry Potter. Never watched Harry Potter. Not planning on it. Don't want to.
80. I do, however, want to read Sense and Sensibility.
81. I hope that my brothers didn't hear my singing along to Lipstick by Jedward then when they walked past my room. I really like this song.
82. I get car sick. It sucks. I can't read in the car or bus or plane or train.
83. Up until late last year (or early this year. I can't remember) I couldn't take tablets for the life of me. I still have difficulties often.
84. All that soluble stuff makes me gag.
85. Old Man bought me a Rubik's Cube for my last birthday and I really like it, but it just sits on my bookshelf looking cool. I can't solve it. Nor do I have the motivation to try very hard.
86. I can't play chess. Never been really properly taught the rules and I can never remember the things that people have taught me. I spend the whole time going, "Wait. So, which way can this piece move?"
87. I will forever love Bulgaria's entry in Eurovision this year. NA INAT!
88. I have done absolutely NO work tonight. Crud. I am a terrible student. LOL JKS I'm better than most people in my grade.
89. I'm a ribbon hoarder. I have lots of ribbons tied around the poles on my bed/desk.
90. I really don't like it when people make rape jokes or jokes about porn or whatever. I so don't find it funny, guys.
91. I love key changes in songs. So dramatic.
92. I also love it when there's like, a choir of back-up singers.
93. Or when an entire orchestra pops up in a climactic moment of the song. Yay for using the musical elements to create climactic moments.
94. Hi, I'm Clearly Unfocused and I am a TVTropes addict.
95. I could not be stuffed arguing over Paradise Oskar anymore. I mean, for goodness sake. Neither me or Tenuto Tuo are going to be loved by him so let's stop this facebook argument. Let us fangirl (or fanboy) from afar.
96. I'm good at that. Fangirling from afar. Seeing as though I mainly fangirl over anime characters, I can't really fangirl close up.
97. Up until about 2 years ago, I hated wearing sneakers. I only wore thongs. Now, I practically only wear sneakers. And boots.
98. I don't totally hate the UKs Eurovision song. Despite the boy band. It's not as bad when you're not watching them and you try and forget they're a boy band.
99. I still would love to be a voice actor. It'd be awesome. If I couldn't do that, I'd love to work for an anime company. Not that I know what I could do, not knowing animation and not being able to do voice acting. Fffffsssss.
100. I'M DONE. My face is really hot. Like, fever-wise, not attractiveness-wise.
CIAO. I'M OFF TO WATCH A FRUITS BASKET ABRIDGED AND READ SOME PRIDE AND PREJUDICE.
