Don't vote for stupid

it's probably time for one of those post things. in said post type thing, such things could be discussed as:

- History essays, the lack doing thereof
- YE Presentations, what went wrong. what went right is a shorter story so it might as well be ignored
- Computing coursework (see history essays)
- Secret prefects
- Stupid inspector people
- Urgh
- Depression
- Alcohol, lack thereof. again.

there's probably other stuff too, like tiredness, but whatever. no one needs to know about them! don't ask and i won't tell! ask and i might run away! unless bribed of course. then i'll take the bribe and then run.

how much trouble do you reckon i'd get in if i drank a large amount of water out of a vodka bottle in the sixth form common room? when CJ etc are watching?

Eurgh

So now school has been happening for a few days. stupid school. what with the lessons and so forth. its especially pointless now, because most of what we're doing is exam technique or whatever, and we've finished all the actual learning. Exam practice is not fun. it is also possibly not useful, but i'm not going to say it's completely pointless. i'm not going to SAY it.. i'll just keep thinking it.

maybe next week will be better. okay, so it'll be longer, but i might sleep properly. and.. um.. yeah. maybe my tounge will stop feeling like eurgh. and my head will stop feeling like its been padded with fluff and then beaten into submission with a mallet.

You're Alice's Adventures in Wonderland!

by Lewis Carroll

After stumbling down the wrong turn in life, you've had your mind
opened to a number of strange and curious things. As life grows curiouser and curiouser,
you have to ask yourself what's real and what's the picture of illusion. Little is coming
to your aid in discerning fantasy from fact, but the line between them is so blurry that
it's starting not to matter. Be careful around rabbit holes and those who smile to much,
and just avoid hat shops altogether.

The truth is you should have stayed in bed

I think I should get a gigantic sign for my room, to put on the wall next to my bed, or even above the bed, on the ceiling. what would this sign say, someone of an enquiring disposition might want to know? I think something along the lines of "get some sleep. any sleep at all. even a small amount is better than none, you COMPLETE FUCKING MORON. AT NO POINT WILL STAYING AWAKE ALL NIGHT BENEFIT YOUR MENTAL HEALTH"

ok, so to fit all of that on it'd have to be a reasonably sized sign anyway. but the point is, i can't beleive i would be so stupid. again.

on a slightly less light note, school restarted today. amazing how after only one day, my spirit and mind appear to have already attained a state of broken-ness. It's entirely possible that I may never get over it, shock therapy or no.

might help if i'd done some work over the holidays. or all of the work. then i wouldn't have been staying up all night to not do the work. yeah, don't ask.

Even now, after something like only two hours of sleep, my eyes are already feeling like they no longer want to bleed. eyes cannot physically BLEED. THEY SHOULD NOT FEEL LIKE THIS IS WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING.

as a result, i was rather irritable today. that, and opposed to any form of anything. ever. this resulted in me NOT going home early, for some absurd reason, despite the possibility of doing so at the start of lunch.

and no one will play liero. STILL. "Jimmy", the green, evil ninja computer, is not a worthy opponent, despite having perfect accuracy. And weapon bans don't seem to affect CPUs for some retarded reason. And there's no satisfaction in killing a computer, anyway.

I need a holiday. well, that, or copious amounts of alcohol. again.

Beating heart baby

through the 'magic' of last.fm radio, i have heard some new music. the two i've listened to most, Head Automatica a sort of disco-y rock/power pop thing. give it a listen. no, it's not optional.

there was one other, which is also apparantly powerpop, but whatever. its not compulsory, but it is mandatory. go figure.

huh, nearly forgot to post the link. they're called hellogoodbye

i've hitten a new low. i did something i swore id never do unless there was some major life tragedy. what, you might ask, is it that i have done? that's for me to know. well me, and whoever i feel like telling. which probably isnt you. you'll get over it.

inexcusable

Bouncing off the walls

Soo.. it's that time of year again. time for a post. (ok, so that happens quite a few times a year. hush) I'm not feeling too great at this precise moment in time, probably because of alcohol, but also because I haven't slept properly. the fact that I rarely, if ever, sleep properly, is completely irrelevant.

So what else is new? I had to sort of break in to my aunt's house the other day, because said aunt was in spain, and after feeding the cat my mum decided it would be a good idea to leave her handbag and the keys to the house inside, locking herself out. this bringsmy number of houses broken into up to two. (the other one being our own house)

apart from that, not much else to tell really. i should have more to say later on in the week though, what with things and stuff. buh bye, im going to crawl back into bed in the hope of achieving some sleep.. any sleep at all..

Boy you know it feels good with fire back on your tounge

\o/ for more vokda. among other things.

speaking of alcohol, simon got back from germany and we were talking on MSN about how we wanted some Bacardi 151 and to try several 'Flaming DR Peppers', and other alcohol related topics (look them up on wikipedia, im too lazy to link atm)

well, what else.. i bought another CD, the first fall out boy one. i think it used to be an EP or something. it was a bit dissapointing really, although most currently amazing bands first efforts at the whole making music thing seem sucky in comparison to their mondern day counterparts. i should probably stop expecting so much from bands earlier work.

on a side note, apart from sporadic sessions of alcohol consumption, i am on the whole, rather bored. someone, not me, because i'm lazy, but someone, should organise something. even if alcohol ISN'T involved. although i should hasten to add, that alcohol being involved would be extremely preferrable. i can even point out that i would be able to aquire an amount, if limited, of vodka, even at short notice, so get with the organising.

having said that, i did get a text on wednesday or something from alex, asking if i wanted to come into town. but i don't know what TIME on wednesday this text was received, as i didnt notice it until thursday. also, i was probably asleep when the text actually came through, and probably also asleep during the hours after, but i might have woken up three hours after it. possibly.

anyway, thats all i can think of right now. tune in next time for another exciting installment of.. boredom?

Capital H

hurrah for ambivalence! so with the 'holidays' as it were in full swing, i have fallen back into old habits. you know the ones, like.. not waking up till stupid o'clock in the evening, not getting dressed till.. um.. at all..

but it's, you know, monday now. so maybe i should be talking about the events that transpired since saturday. well, from sunday till now anyway. i fell out of bed around.. lets SAY three o'clock, tired as hell, and only actually getting up because i was being rung by my sis from her work. and why was she ruining my blissful comatose state? so that i would later in the evening go from tired collapsed to drunk collapsed.

so i went to meet michelle at work, and after sitting around for.. a short amount of time.. we headed home via the off licence, and vodka was purchased. (some coke too, but that would have less of an effect on the whole.. things)

well, things went on from there. i didn't start drinking when we got home obviously.. for one thing, it was around four or whatever, and for another i'd only woken up an hour earlier.

but then, later, vodka WAS consumed. not entirely sure how much more than a bottle i drank.. but i did drink pretty much all of the 35cl bottle my sister bought earlier that day, and then a liiiiittle more.. one or two.. or three shots worth.. probably..

i remember hiccups. and although i don't think i really had a hangover this morning, i have felt ill all day. so woo.

Beautiful rival

So, how are things with you? Ellis broke my foot earlier at karate. by way of me kicking him. my foot probably isn't actually broken, but it does still hurt to stand on it. besides that, not much else has happened. 'tis the easter holidays now though, so it's all good. except for the bad stuff.

you may notice, if you look to the left, that i have added a last.fm recent tracks chart-thing. the only reason i stopped using audioscrobbler way back when that happened, was because it meant listening to music on the PC, and as i have mentioned, my old PC had sucky sound quality due to broken speakers or something. with the new PC, i've reset my stats and reactivated the plugin things. so you can now see the last ten tracks i've listened to. joy for you.

being bored, i started looking at the origins of names on wikipedia. mine was relatively boring, there was no etymology on the Rory(name) page. however, the next one i checked was 'matthew' and expecting something boringly biblical, i was not proved wrong, and much to my dismay it said 'Matthew means "gift of the LORD; gift of the god Yahu".'

however, further down the page.. i found a little gem i just had to share with our own "gift of the lord" here's a quote..

"A recent study by the University of California showed that males named Matt tend to have a smaller than average penis. The inadequacies this creates is often credited as being the cause for the abnormally high homosexuality amongst Matts."

rofl is all i have to say on that matter. rofl indeed. matt now hates the university of california. wonder why.

all of the names alex, jonny, tom and david didn't have very interesting origins. but i had to laugh at the irony of the meaning of the name richard. it's supposed to mean 'strong, brave leader' or similar. compare this with gillis. heh heh
