I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death. What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy retirement. You drink alcohol, you party, and you get ready for High School. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last 9 months floating... then you finish off as an orgasm!

People won't get together and bid you farewell over dim sum because you're going on holidays for a week and they'll &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;miss&lt;/span&gt; you. Surprise parties are only thrown for &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"special people"&lt;/span&gt;. No, your friend is not going to call you up after 3 months of not talking and offer to make amends. Things just don't work that way. Shot gun? Haha, no one's going to save you a seat in their car or offer your a ride from a to b. Drunk and k.o'd? Sick and coughing your guts out? Then find a place to die quietly. Because in most cases, generosity is not naturally embedded in people to spend a few weeks pay on a few days with you. They ain't gonna notice if you're absent from the country for a week or 2. or 3. Age is just a number. And since we're going all out here, let's be honest. No one gives a shit about the day you were born and it's either a first come first serve process or preconceived mutual obligation between people for shotgunned seats. The rest? hah, find your own way or walk there. "Bro-ship" and "sisterhoods" are shortlived and rarely lived up to. People don't care because they care, they care because it's rude not to pretend to. Atleast during the first few months anyway, when &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"friendship"&lt;/span&gt; is played out closest to the way it's supposed to be. People are lazy, and forgetful so caring is eventually forgotten. So make yourself one of the main players if you wanna be regonised. If you're kinda hanging out on the sidelines then yes, you will fall behind and be marginalised.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you see, friendship is merely a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;construct&lt;/span&gt; of what people would like it to be but are too lazy driven by self interest to carry it out. The laws of give and take are almost never balanced so please don't base your thesis on a myth. The affinity of humans to each other is actually false advertising. People strive to be accepted and remembered. they waste time, money, effort just so others &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;might&lt;/span&gt; remember to sms them on their birthday. Facebook is just a means to remind people about others. Sarah's birthday is tomorrow, oh better message her then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't lie to yourself. you won't be missed when you're gone.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8322263329787626574-2284599119756224532?l=lynsays.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/feeds/2284599119756224532/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8322263329787626574&amp;postID=2284599119756224532' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/2284599119756224532'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/2284599119756224532'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/2009/05/dont-lie-to-yourself.html' title='Don&apos;t lie to yourself...'/><author><name>MadHatter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322263329787626574.post-5892589323377793277</id><published>2009-04-28T21:45:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-04-28T22:03:31.256+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rants'/><title type='text'>Expensive shoes</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://forums.vogue.com.au"&gt;Vogue Forums&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, I'm reading some of the threads in here and thinking, "Where the fuck do girls get the money to splurge like this?"&lt;br /&gt;YSL Patent Pumps for $725.

And I understand if it's some rich investment banker lady rocking these shoes, but many of the girls on here are in university or highshool. Damn rich people.&lt;br /&gt;So to all those who have said that I am rich in the past - what, does it look like I shit out cash? Or my parents, for that matter?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alright, I'm sorry. I'm just mad because I'm broke as a joke and haven't been shopping since January and haven't had a job till now. I'm going shopping tomorrow though! With a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;limited &lt;/span&gt;supply of cash, ofcourse :(. I want a trust fund for Christmas!! boo&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8322263329787626574-5892589323377793277?l=lynsays.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/feeds/5892589323377793277/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8322263329787626574&amp;postID=5892589323377793277' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/5892589323377793277'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/5892589323377793277'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/2009/04/expensive-shoes.html' title='Expensive shoes'/><author><name>MadHatter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322263329787626574.post-2699073416071221352</id><published>2009-04-28T19:54:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2009-04-28T20:25:25.052+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Work'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='update'/><title type='text'>work</title><content type='html'>I thought I should talk about my first day at work. Yep.. I rocked up to uni in work attire - a white button up blouse and black pants and got a whole heap of "you're dressed up today". Reminds me of the time when i wore baggy black khaki-material kinda pants and people went hysterical because they thought I was going for a job interview. Well, not hysterical but i received a lot of remarks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I now work at a pharmacy in Bedfore. How I got the job? My family friend is the new manager there. Work was ok. The till makes me feel like an unco-ordinated retard and the customers are nice. old, but nice. Other than getting bullied by the cash register and EFTPOS machine, overall it was ok. I could hack it, it was hackable. I was disappointed by the available eateries surrounding the place though. The selection was very bland - we're next to City Farmers, a servo, a dog grooming salon, a bank, a gym, a lunchbar, a sushi place (which happened to be closed at 1pm wth?) and a kebab shop. So looks like i need to start bringing in my own lunch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ummmm...I dunno what the pay rate is yet, and my set hours for the time being are Mondays 3-7 and Saturdays 9-6. This Saturday I'm working with a newly registered pharmacist who's just graduated. Was told she doesn't do much and likes to keep to herself. And that she's lazy. fantastic.

I never thought you'd be one to fall into the status quo, but I guess I falsely stretched your strength of abstinence. Please don't misunderstand me, I have absolutely no qualms against &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;people&lt;/span&gt; who need drugs to party it up. And I'm not about to declare war on the next person who rages at me for being anti-drugs. It's not my style coz I'm all about freedom of expression, man!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You looked pretty out of it when I finally found you, kinda leaning and clinging onto the guy for dear life. Your eyes were rolled back and forth, in and out and I was kinda counting down the secs that it would take for your knees to give way. I guess I was kinda expecting you to just, well, topple over or something. Like a slinky. I didn't understand exactly what you were saying to me, but you were pretty fucking paranoid. No, I am not mad at you. No, I do not hate you. No, I am not judging you. And no, I do not think you are fat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But yes, I was a lil' upset. I was upset that you had taken drugs and had not paced it out. But sweety, that was not the whole reason, if even a quarter of it. You see, there are many reasons to why saltwater wells in my eyes. I wanted to help you, but I didn't know how. I don't know how to help people under the influence. That's the reason why I turned around and left. I didn't want to see you like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually, I did suspect that it was not your first time because you were pretty magged at futuremusic too. I know as a fact that there are things that you are reluctant to tell me about. I also know that you're afraid to tell me because you think I would look at you differently after I realise. I've been overseeing this whole thing brew and I can tell you one thing, that chick you're hanging with is a fucking knob. I would have felt more relieved if she wasn't there with you because we both know that when you both get fucked she does so more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do not look at you differently. Although disappointed, I am just glad you are ok. Incase you're wondering how I am able to amazingly refrain from taking these small tablets of joy while everyone else around me pays a couple hours of wages for them, I'm just fucking sick of seeing people go through this shit time after time and it just puts me off. I am usually surrounded by people who are under the unfluence. I am accustomed to having to hand out lollipops, gum, lip balm and water. After hanging out with them long enough, you tend to pick up a few things. It's all hugs and kisses in the beginning when everyone's happy and chatty, but after the upswing there must be a downswing right? That's when I gotta deal with the head bopping lifeless corpses, or the emotional "leave me alones". The aggro ones threaten to kick my head in if I ask them if they're ok one more time and the slightly denser ones make absolutely no sense. Pills really bring out the weirdest sides of people. I am sorry I can't sympathise with you if you O.D. I don't want to be told to fuck off again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sight is almost unbearable to me. So to see you like that pains me. Does it hurt? Or does it feel like you're walking on water? Because it certainly doesn't look like fun. Put it bluntly, this is the stage where people look like a group of diseased slugs. Eyes rolling, lip licking, mouths chewing, drooling, even. Lying on top of each other like a litter of blind piglets (i would say pigs but piglets are cuter) passing around and sharing the same saliva filled bottle...And this is the part where I disappear off with someone who's alive enough to dance with me - or someone who has their timing of doses down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess I don't really know what to say to you because I don't ping. And I guess I can't talk because I have never experienced it. And for all I know you pingers are probably shaking your heads and telling me I don't know what I'm missing out on. Yeah well...whatever. Let me live in my innocent ignorance. I do my thing, you do yours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you are feeling better now.

Lately, it seems like I've forgotten how to use my words :(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Even blogging has been difficult for me because I can't seem to rack up the words to express what my mind is telling me. It's like this: external force/situation/event -&gt; recognised by brain -&gt; brain sends signals to body and a reaction occurs -&gt; mouth opens to speak...then...silence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;So I haven't been my chirpy twitter self lately (except on Wednesday at simmy's house when my brain overproduced batches of endorphins because I was hungry and dehydrated). I &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;have&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; been talking, but I would like for when I open my mouth something intelligent would come out. Not just an: "oh...ok". Either that or I utter out something totally inappropriate or irrelevant. Classic case of verbal vomit. I think it's because of the secrecy I've sworn to myself about keeping my personal details and thoughts disclosed to people that it has made it hard for me to communicate properly to another walking being. Even Mocchi could satisfy me these days with his level of conversation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Paranoia and the issues of trust I've been battling have caused me to draw a line between what's acceptable and what's too close for comfort. And I refuse to speak openly to anyone who comes within that marked line. I find myself stepping away when they move in too close. Even with my closest friends - If I could smell his cologne, he was standing too close. Sigh, I really need to battle these monsters before they turn me into a crazy woman.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;I'm in the mood for reading. The other day I wandered into Dymocks to look for something light-hearted to relieve my mind of daily frustrations before I sleep. I looked for Paper Planes by John Green, I heard it is a fantastic young-adult fiction. But being newly released in the US, they actually didn't have any in stock, nor were they ordering it. Ah well. I need something to read. Got any suggestions?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8322263329787626574-3335036583037161624?l=lynsays.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/feeds/3335036583037161624/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8322263329787626574&amp;postID=3335036583037161624' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/3335036583037161624'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/3335036583037161624'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/2009/04/using-my-words.html' title='Using my words.'/><author><name>MadHatter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BBf9ixmOgko/Sd8iRP9CLNI/AAAAAAAAACo/ng_5iYNZ7M4/s72-c/dont_speak_by_PiZZaDreaMs.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322263329787626574.post-709362849638361247</id><published>2009-04-03T03:21:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-04-14T00:04:37.295+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sleep'/><title type='text'>sleep poseer</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.evany.com/sleeptest/excalibur.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.evany.com/sleeptest/myimages/excalibur.jpg" alt="I am a excalibur!" vspace="4" width="225" border="0" height="324" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Find your own &lt;a href="http://www.evany.com/sleeptest/"&gt;pose&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;this is if i had a man to get tangled up with in bed every night..hmmm..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8322263329787626574-709362849638361247?l=lynsays.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/feeds/709362849638361247/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8322263329787626574&amp;postID=709362849638361247' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/709362849638361247'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/709362849638361247'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/2009/04/sleep-poseer.html' title='sleep poseer'/><author><name>MadHatter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322263329787626574.post-3209779113878795531</id><published>2009-03-08T15:04:00.004+09:00</published><updated>2009-04-14T00:05:32.002+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='words of wisdom'/><title type='text'>A Blind Boy</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif;font-size:85%;"  &gt;I know I still need to blog about my trip to sydney and all the events that have happened since my last post, but being caught up with uni and a social life I just haven't had the time or mentality to write about anything. But soon soon, I promise I shall tell all ! I need to release some stress from my pea brain anyway =P&lt;br /&gt;For now I would like to share a story. Let's be thankful for what we have shall we?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;    Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt; That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;   The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;   What he had written was: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;"Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;   Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt; Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;   Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Moral of the Story&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;   Invite others towards good with wisdom. Live life with no excuse and love with no regrets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt; When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt; Great men say, "Life has to be an incessant process of repair and reconstruction, of discarding evil and developing goodness! In the journey of life, if you want to travel without fear, you must have the ticket of a good conscience."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;  The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;And even more beautiful, is knowing that you are the reason behind it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;--Author Unknown&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8322263329787626574-3209779113878795531?l=lynsays.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/feeds/3209779113878795531/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8322263329787626574&amp;postID=3209779113878795531' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/3209779113878795531'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/3209779113878795531'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/2009/03/blind-boy.html' title='A Blind Boy'/><author><name>MadHatter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322263329787626574.post-56610699705170024</id><published>2009-03-04T20:33:00.001+09:00</published><updated>2009-04-14T00:05:51.534+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='words of wisdom'/><title type='text'>walk on me</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BBf9ixmOgko/Sa5nI7XG7lI/AAAAAAAAACY/F6D24R1QHp8/s1600-h/stepped+on.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BBf9ixmOgko/Sa5nI7XG7lI/AAAAAAAAACY/F6D24R1QHp8/s400/stepped+on.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309294413787622994" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 255, 153);"&gt;Tired of being stepped on...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8322263329787626574-56610699705170024?l=lynsays.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/feeds/56610699705170024/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8322263329787626574&amp;postID=56610699705170024' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/56610699705170024'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/56610699705170024'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/2009/03/walk-on-me.html' title='walk on me'/><author><name>MadHatter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BBf9ixmOgko/Sa5nI7XG7lI/AAAAAAAAACY/F6D24R1QHp8/s72-c/stepped+on.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322263329787626574.post-8758627985726595087</id><published>2009-03-03T17:35:00.003+09:00</published><updated>2009-04-14T00:06:10.359+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='words of wisdom'/><title type='text'>A Great Feeling - Happiness</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BBf9ixmOgko/SazvL6Tb-bI/AAAAAAAAACQ/dZ4Ncs76aRY/s1600-h/2357278020103219988S500x500Q85.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 328px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BBf9ixmOgko/SazvL6Tb-bI/AAAAAAAAACQ/dZ4Ncs76aRY/s400/2357278020103219988S500x500Q85.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308881048671353266" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found this while browsing through other blogs and thought I'd share it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up,&lt;br /&gt;he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods&lt;br /&gt;where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and&lt;br /&gt;color of the world outside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans&lt;br /&gt;played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of&lt;br /&gt;the city skyline could be seen in the distance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the&lt;br /&gt;man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing&lt;br /&gt;by. Although the other man couldn't hear the band - he could see it. In&lt;br /&gt;his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with&lt;br /&gt;descriptive words. Days and weeks passed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths&lt;br /&gt;only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away. As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his&lt;br /&gt;first look at the real world outside. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have&lt;br /&gt;compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Epilogue: There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happiness can be created and shared even amidst an air of sorrow and sadness. You may be going through a hard time but that doesn't mean you have to walk around with a frown the whole day and bring others down. Yeah, life may suck but don't make it suck for somebody else. We may only be human, but we have the great ability to affect emotionally, the person next to us. A simple smile may light up a day for that poor bloke who missed his train. This brings me to think of all the people out there who are so engrossed in their own life and situations. Everything's me me me, I I I.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C'mon.&lt;br /&gt;Live a lil'. Feeling sad? smile. Feeling angry? Pull a funny face. Feeling neglected and abandoned? Step back and hold the door open for that stranger. There is too much bitterness in this society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all, we are all stuck in this life whether we like it or not.&lt;br /&gt;Let's make the world a happier place to live in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8322263329787626574-8758627985726595087?l=lynsays.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/feeds/8758627985726595087/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8322263329787626574&amp;postID=8758627985726595087' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/8758627985726595087'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/8758627985726595087'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/2009/03/great-feeling-happiness.html' title='A Great Feeling - Happiness'/><author><name>MadHatter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BBf9ixmOgko/SazvL6Tb-bI/AAAAAAAAACQ/dZ4Ncs76aRY/s72-c/2357278020103219988S500x500Q85.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322263329787626574.post-5264768067008065939</id><published>2009-01-21T21:46:00.003+09:00</published><updated>2009-04-14T00:06:28.947+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='weather'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='update'/><title type='text'>severe weather warnings in sydney</title><content type='html'>a few hours to my flight and im a bit worried. there were a series of severe weather warnings issued for sydney with thunderstorms and gushing winds up to 90km/ph. there's bound to be a delay =/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i dont know why, but this time round, i'm not the tiniest bit excited, nor am i anticipating the 2 week long trip. a few weeks ago i was pretty happy, but during the past week no so much. an unsettling feeling is planted inside of me, and i can't find any reason why it would be there. maybe it's homesickness..hmm i dunno. but i guess i'll find out.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8322263329787626574-5264768067008065939?l=lynsays.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/feeds/5264768067008065939/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8322263329787626574&amp;postID=5264768067008065939' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/5264768067008065939'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/5264768067008065939'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/2009/01/severe-weather-warnings-in-sydney.html' title='severe weather warnings in sydney'/><author><name>MadHatter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322263329787626574.post-1368558050320044631</id><published>2009-01-15T16:53:00.004+09:00</published><updated>2009-04-14T00:06:59.983+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='public service'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rants'/><title type='text'>polaroid cameras and passport application ranting</title><content type='html'>i had to go to the post office today with the determination to finalise my passport application once and for all. the whole thing was a fricking dilemma. the appointment was set for 11am so i left work at 10:30, thinking id be there in 15 minutes which should give me a bit of time to fill in the blanks in the application form. upon arriving i was barracaded at the entrance by a long line of people waiting in the passport application/renewal line. 'that's ok' i thought as i struggled to make my way through the human fort to a bench. 'i'm good' i thought, 'yeahhhh..this is good, i'll get it done today without a problem'. i even smiled to myself. life was good, yeah =). i randomly turned to the last page - the guarantors page - and started scanning.&lt;br /&gt;'surname, yep.. given names..yep, electoral details..check..'&lt;br /&gt;then..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'shit'.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i cursed under my breath at 6 blank boxes next to "date of birth" staring back at me. the old chap filling in the postal code of his envelope frowned so i enviously gazed at the numbers in his boxes -_-.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh yeah, i had switched phones with my mum because she was complaining she couldn't see the buttons. this one is a sony ericsson, small and black therefore pretty hard to spot amongst the other junk floating around. i rummaged through my bag to fetch my it only to find that it wasn't there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;shit. shit. shit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the time was 10:47, i still had 13 minutes till deadline and figured it was enough time to make it to and back to work if i sped. luckilly for me, the car infront of me got caught speeding on grand prom (hahahaha) while i switched lanes and gunned it to the lights. on the way back i called faiza's landline and spoke to her mother. i must've been panicking because the poor woman didn't understand what i was talking about and thought i was telemarketer, attempting to hang up on me. after the harmless misunderstanding was resolved she told me faiza's birthday (9th august)and continued to engaged in a long conversation with me about uni, faiza and the holidays - up until i parked my car at the galleria. i quickly farewelled, secretly thanking her for not accusing me of forgetting her daughter's birthday and being a bad friend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the line at the post office was much shorter now and there was nothing stopping me from entering. while waiting i flipped through the form and filled in my mother's citizenship details. chyeah, i spent an good hour this morning fishing around for my parent's citizenship certificates which caused me to be late for work. this time it was a different lady, not as cheerful and nice as the one i had yesterday. she lazilly scanned my form with a bored expression, like she didn't know all the trouble i went through to be standing right infront of her to check it. everything went by smoothly as i watched her mark off the boxes, indicating that the sections were completed fully and correctly. everything was just dandy until we came to the gurantor's page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the signature wasn't the same as the one on the back of my photo. 'what do you mean it's not the same??' i asked her and she showed me. the problem was this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BBf9ixmOgko/SW767Eh88gI/AAAAAAAAACI/htmkhnluIlY/s1600-h/Untitled.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BBf9ixmOgko/SW767Eh88gI/AAAAAAAAACI/htmkhnluIlY/s400/Untitled.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291442504942285314" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i know it's a crappy picture but hey, i did it on paint and i probably got her signature wrong too. big deal, so con artistry and forgery are definately not my forte but whatever. so you see, the signature in black is the one on my application form, the red signature is the one behind my photo. and the problem? the black one is signed with the first and last name on two lines, the red one is signed all in one line.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i felt like the wind was knocked out of me. i had to take another photo in my work-drenched state and i probably looked even more like a dropkick than the previous photos. 'look' she said, 'get her to sign the new photo exactly like she signed on the form then come back tomorrow.' i gave her a deathly stare. then she added: 'don't worry about making an appointment, just come straight to me.' atleast she's considerate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so yes, another trip to the postie again tomorrow. all this trouble i go through for it. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;it&lt;/span&gt; should be grateful - &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;it&lt;/span&gt; better take me to lots of countries one day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hmmm..i rant a lot don't i? rhetoric, don't answer. i hope you don't think i'm an angry person because i'm not. i like sunflowers for god's sake. umm..what else..oh! i received my (rather expected) offer for uwa today. so i guess that's bye bye to murdoch and murdoch people, and murdoch refectory, and murdoch lecture theatres, and south street and murdoch drive. and hello to mounts bay road, and city food, and ancient buildings, and highschool friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that is all for now, my bodypump class awaits. byee!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8322263329787626574-1368558050320044631?l=lynsays.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/feeds/1368558050320044631/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8322263329787626574&amp;postID=1368558050320044631' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/1368558050320044631'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/1368558050320044631'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/2009/01/polaroid-cameras-and-passport.html' title='polaroid cameras and passport application ranting'/><author><name>MadHatter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BBf9ixmOgko/SW767Eh88gI/AAAAAAAAACI/htmkhnluIlY/s72-c/Untitled.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322263329787626574.post-3894319959476310164</id><published>2009-01-14T22:57:00.004+09:00</published><updated>2009-04-14T00:07:21.754+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='public service'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rants'/><title type='text'>passport applications a tedious process</title><content type='html'>today was the fourth time i came to the post office in regards to applying for an adult passport. the first was to grab the form and take the photos, the second was to make an appointment, the third (yesterday) was declined because my photo didn't match up to the specs (a bit of my hair was chopped off -_-). i had taken them in one of them passport photo booths so you'd think they were accepted. reaking of pies and sausages, sweat and oil, i had to pose for another photo. first shot was off, did a second one - i looked daggy in both. i was also missing a document to prove my parent's citizenship at the time of my birth. they want me to find a passport/driver's licence issued nearly 20 years ago?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;you've got to be kidding me. that's what i said to the nice lady at the post office today. we had a little rant and rave about how stupid and time-wasting the process was. the making of the appointment, the fishing out of documents issued decades before, the getting-the-photo right, the guarantors. and all this has to be done by 2pm since they don't accept passport applications after 2.30 pm. the post office lady commented on how it sometimes takes people 5 or 6 goes before the passport is finally sent to wherever it's supposed to go after which there is a 2 week downtown period for a card to be slipped into your letterbox then yet another trip to the postie to collect the piece of shit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i learnt today that babies 6 months of age also had to take photos to accord to those fucking specs. they expect eyes opened, facing straight at the camera, no smiling, no teeth. WTF? they're BABIES - they sleep, they drool, laugh, cry, do funny things with their mouths - how are you supposed to keep a 6 month old baby still?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it was a long, hot, tiring, tedious, frustrating, long day. i let out my frustration infront of a little girl at work today (yes, i was cursing and grumbling to myself) and i feel absolutely horrible now. making a mental note to give her a free donut when she comes back. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;if&lt;/span&gt;

show up..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;chhhyyyeaaahhhh...the conversation goes pretty much downhill from there as you both squeeze your minds to squirt out the tiniest faults and bloopers about each other that you can use as an attack (or defence). the ravenous ping pong game finally ends in a big stupid screaming contest about absolutely nothing as one of you storms off, often leaving the remaining person to foot the bill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it's this irritating defensive attitude that really bugs me about some people. you just can't engage in a humourous light-hearted diss with them. &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;like shit, man. take a chill pill, can't you take a&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; joke&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;/span&gt; it's like they think the world's out to get them. sometimes they leave me feeling pretty stupid because they don't laugh. and when they don't laugh i automatically come up with two explanations:&lt;br /&gt;a) the joke was just OTT, uncalled for, offensive, lame and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt; funny, or&lt;br /&gt;b) it happened that they have something shoved so far up their arse that day that it interferes with the "humour/joke alert" function of their brain and so they mis-register it as declaration of war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i've been told that people who are defensive are insecure, have big egos, or they just had a reallllly bad childhood. so i had a good bitch to a mate about one of these doomed-to-be-disastrous conversations i've just had. it went something like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;lyn:&lt;/span&gt;

Putting up the xmas tree, decorations, cleaning all helped me relax as well as having acid jazz playing in the background. i am just so bored of people who see xmas as "just another holiday" that's consumer driven, meaningless and overrated. whatever. i could be the most pessimistic, cynical and glum person in the world right now and i'd still make an effort to do something for xmas, even if that just means lighting a few candles and putting up a tree. im not a devout christian or a religious fanatic. i simply like xmas. why? coz people make the effort to come home for xmas. it is the one time of the year where everyone can just get over themselves and their &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;shit&lt;/span&gt; and just be happy - or go out of their way to make another person happy. it is the one time in the year when people make exceptions. &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;exceptions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. it seriously got to the point where i was like if i didn't have any family and friends at all i'd goddamn celebrate the occasion on my own if i had to. why? coz i strive to...just be &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;happy&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so yes..&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;there&lt;/span&gt;, is my 2 cents on christmas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my muscles were aching for the past 2 days. if sophia became a personal trainer she'd be the strict-est one yet. She'll be one of those trainers that after a while you'd just have the urge to sock her in the face if you heard the words "c'mon! you're not pushing yourself hard enough!" one more time, when you're like halfway to death that you might as well buckle your arms and let the bar sit on your neck to finish it off. ok i am exaggerating. she will be a great personal trainer, but i swear for the past 2 days i could not lift anything more than 3 kgs. she made me do squats - SQUATS! like 50 of them?? i'm usually good at squats but after those sets..it &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;hurts&lt;/span&gt; to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;walk&lt;/span&gt; :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but you know what? it was gooood...it felt good to work/run/squat/push/pull it off all the angerrr, frustration, emotional stress i had bottled up inside. and i felt fan-fucking-tastic afterwards that i wanna go back and do it all again. not now though. my arms are still aching. so maybe tomorrow =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so..where to now? xmas is soon, new years follows a week after then summerdayze 5 days after that, sydney 16 days after that then australia day 4 days after that. the holiday season looks good already =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh btw i haven't made this blog "public yet" so far only two people know about this blog. i think i'll just keep it that way for now. till i'm a bit more "normal" haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sleep time!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8322263329787626574-8499081344464133857?l=lynsays.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/feeds/8499081344464133857/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8322263329787626574&amp;postID=8499081344464133857' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/8499081344464133857'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/8499081344464133857'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/2008/12/exercise-and-christmas.html' title='exercise and christmas'/><author><name>MadHatter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322263329787626574.post-2718169405976685477</id><published>2008-12-03T02:05:00.001+09:00</published><updated>2009-04-14T00:11:44.789+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='friendshit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='using my words'/><title type='text'>rant</title><content type='html'>put it bluntly i feel so alone, unwanted and unneeded right now.&lt;br /&gt;my best friend isn't talking to me.&lt;br /&gt;my other close friends are either busy or too preoccupied with their own lives to concern themselves with mine.&lt;br /&gt;my mum is going insane, singlehandedly managing her shop&lt;br /&gt;and my dad?&lt;br /&gt;well yeah..my dad...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so who can i turn to when i &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;need&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

problems that so people in 3rd World - sorry i mean &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;developing &lt;/span&gt;countries - have to deal with. that in these countries &lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;starvation&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;survival&lt;/span&gt; are the biggest concern on these people's minds and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;love problems&lt;/span&gt; are &lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;laughed&lt;/span&gt; at, should it even be considered on the list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and then i ask myself should the question be one of &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;"who"&lt;/span&gt;??&lt;br /&gt;must i depend on another for my own mental and emotional wellbeing? should i allow my pride and independence bend to such limits?&lt;br /&gt;afterall. if it's one thing i've learn't from this break up: it's that people are so &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;cruel&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;and ultimately everyone is &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;selfish&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and only do things for their own benefit.&lt;br /&gt;- unless they're Jesus - or God. But then again God got a virgin pregnant with magic so clearly, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;God&lt;/span&gt; is not playing by the rules.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So should i submit myself to people - the origin and cause of many of my migraines and toothaches....?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Wow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;         It's true. and it eeks my ears to admit it aloud. people get so &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;screwed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; over by other people all the time it isn't even funny anymore. cheating wives, unfaithful husbands, backstabbing friends, abusive parents, dickhead bosses, greedy billionaires, unprofessional doctors, unhygenic chefs, dishonest missionaries...I could go on about how people fu.ck other people over for hoursssss, but i think i'd just be rambling. I have such big trust issues lately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so i rant...cry...rant...blow my nose...rant..dry angry tears...rant rant some more...rant...until i finally fall asleep on a damp pillow. i hope my eyes aren't puffy tomorrow -_-&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8322263329787626574-2718169405976685477?l=lynsays.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/feeds/2718169405976685477/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8322263329787626574&amp;postID=2718169405976685477' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/2718169405976685477'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/2718169405976685477'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/2008/12/rant.html' title='rant'/><author><name>MadHatter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322263329787626574.post-118303481485728602</id><published>2008-12-02T01:59:00.001+09:00</published><updated>2008-12-02T18:27:17.267+09:00</updated><title type='text'>Him</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;There have been things on my mind during these past hardly bearable weeks. But the one issue, the one person that I haven't been able to stop thinking about is &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;" &gt;him&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;It has only been&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;2&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;weeks&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;4&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt; days &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;since "&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;we" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;ended so there's a long way to go for me to be able to walk away from it all. Be it a break -up or a break. He's gone and he ain't coming back.&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I miss him.&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt; A LOT.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. And even though &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;love&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; is such a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;pain in the ass&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; and relationships are just the start of that, I still found myself falling &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);font-size:100%;" &gt;deeper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);font-size:100%;" &gt;deeper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; into a relationship that I knew was doomed from the beginning. Even the smartest of people get screwed over. I'm an intelligent girl, I just picked a not-so-smart choice. to put it nicely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Break-ups are inevitable. I know that. Everyone who's been in a relationship knows so. But I'm still sitting here wondering &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;where&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; the hell we went wrong and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;how&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; the heck did it happen?? This impending question has been carved on the back of my mind ever since that moment he decided to&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;leave me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;And I'm still wondering&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 102);font-size:78%;" &gt;why&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;why&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);font-size:180%;" &gt;why&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);"&gt;??&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Telling myself this isn't supposed to be the way it ends... not like this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found myself lying in bed every night, going through messages after messages on my phone from him, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);font-size:100%;" &gt;deconstructing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; every single sentence, searching for hints or clues between the lines of his&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;i love you's&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);"&gt;i miss you's&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;His sincere &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;"love"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; peaked and dangerously dropped within a matter of weeks coming to a fatal crash where it hit the axis - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;head first&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;. I always wonder if this &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;'love'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; of his was as true as he claimed it to be?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;No. I felt it dying. I really did. After the first few times where he didn't pick up my phonecalls for days or return my messages and giving me crap excuses as to why. I &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;knew&lt;/span&gt;, but I wouldn't let myself &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;comprehend&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;I guess I was still hanging on to the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);font-size:100%;" &gt;him&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; i knew before. The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);font-size:100%;" &gt;him&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; I believed would never leave me like this. The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);font-size:100%;" &gt;him&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; I thought would try to keep our relationship together through thick and thin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He didn't even try.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Not one. single. effing.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 255, 51); font-weight: bold;"&gt;bit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;It's this nonchalent attitude that he adopts to every fu.cking thing. and it gets me &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:100%;" &gt;thinking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:100%;" &gt;angry&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; and all &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:100%;" &gt;irritated&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; again. On several occasions I tried to express my doubts about our relationship but his &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 204);font-size:100%;" &gt;blithe unconcern&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 255);font-size:100%;" &gt;egomaniac-ish crap&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;kicks in every time, giving me a "Well...If that's what you think I can't really do anything about it. I can't change your mind."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;um.&lt;/span&gt;      &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204);"&gt;Seriously?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Oh you left your phone - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204, 51);font-size:100%;" &gt;both&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; phones - in your car for two days straight and it was too hot to walk 10 metres to fetch them?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;Seriously??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;So you left your phone in your friends bag over the weekend and after getting it back and seeing &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;20+ missed calls&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; and a message from me you didn't bother to call back &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204, 51);font-size:100%;" &gt;just incase&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; it was something urgent? And what? This was because you were tired?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seriously??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Oh, so you're working an extra day this week and now your timetable for the week just happens to be the complete opposite to mine?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;I tried. God knows I tried. So damn hard to keep it together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It got to the point where I wanted to grab him by both shoulders and shake him. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);font-size:100%;" &gt;violently&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;And &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255);font-size:100%;" &gt;scream&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255);font-size:100%;" &gt;scream&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; at him. And push him to that breaing point where he could no longer hold back his urge to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:100%;" &gt;scream&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; just as violently back at me. Just so that he would&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;FEEL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;A bit of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:100%;" &gt;concern&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; maybe? The slightest taste of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:100%;" &gt;guilt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; perhaps?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not at all. If any, non that he expressed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess that was what I got for wishful thinking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So where do we stand now?&lt;br /&gt;Only &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);font-size:100%;" &gt;God&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; knows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8322263329787626574-118303481485728602?l=lynsays.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/feeds/118303481485728602/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8322263329787626574&amp;postID=118303481485728602' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/118303481485728602'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/118303481485728602'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/2008/12/him.html' title='Him'/><author><name>MadHatter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322263329787626574.post-8863602850714795984</id><published>2008-12-01T21:33:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2008-12-02T01:26:54.567+09:00</updated><title type='text'>Christmas, fresh start, new years and all that jazz.</title><content type='html'>&lt;meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 12"&gt;&lt;link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CUsers%5CLyn%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"&gt;&lt;link rel="themeData" href="file:///C:%5CUsers%5CLyn%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_themedata.thmx"&gt;&lt;link rel="colorSchemeMapping" href="file:///C:%5CUsers%5CLyn%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_colorschememapping.xml"&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;

I just thought I should start articulating my thoughts again. Since year 12 I swear I've gotten dumber. "Gotten"? &lt;i style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;Is that even a word??&lt;/i&gt; &lt;- You see what I mean? I need to exercise my english again. I asked a friend what he thought of blogging while contemplating whether or not I should start putting my life to print again. It went something like this: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Mc`Lyn: was it fun?&lt;br /&gt;mr. spontaneous.: hmmmmmmmmm&lt;br /&gt;mr. spontaneous.: i reckon its kinda &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;stupid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mc`Lyn: why?&lt;br /&gt;mr. spontaneous.: hahaha&lt;br /&gt;mr. spontaneous.: well&lt;br /&gt;mr. spontaneous.: if ur just gonna rant...&lt;br /&gt;mr. spontaneous.: dont make one&lt;br /&gt;mr. spontaneous.: if u can make it &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;artistic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;....&lt;br /&gt;mr. spontaneous.: go ahead&lt;br /&gt;mr. spontaneous.: i used to like blogs&lt;br /&gt;mr. spontaneous.: but then i figured..&lt;br /&gt;mr. spontaneous.: its a bit &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0); font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;weird&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; if someone &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0); font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;reads&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; about &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0); font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;ur life &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mc`Lyn: what do u mean by artistic?&lt;br /&gt;mr. spontaneous.: like....&lt;br /&gt;mr. spontaneous.: u have to make it interesting&lt;br /&gt;mr. spontaneous.: i found it boring after a while&lt;br /&gt;Mc`Lyn: lol Mc`Lyn: alright&lt;br /&gt;Mc`Lyn: well ill start one anyway&lt;br /&gt;Mc`Lyn: and if it gets boring ill just let it die&lt;br /&gt;mr. spontaneous.: alright&lt;br /&gt;mr. spontaneous.: my input had NO affect at all&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;On the contrary, my new friend Simon &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;disagrees&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; with Matt, disagreeing that my life would be &lt;i style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;too boring&lt;/i&gt; to broadcast through a blog. I quote our msn convo:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;REGRETFULsimmybear: i think ure pretty interesting&lt;br /&gt;REGRETFULsimmybear: and if u blog the way u talk&lt;br /&gt;REGRETFULsimmybear: im sure ur blog will be heaps good&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you, Simon. Matt, a blog isn't about entertainment for other people - accurately and effectively conveying your emotions while articulating it in a way that would provide entertainment/enojoyment/amusement for other is just too hard. I don't think blogs are supposed to serve that purpose? But then again it comes down to the individual and what they want their blog to be. Some people blog about their life, some about their hobbies, their uni/school life, people have poetry blogs, beauty/fashion blogs, music blogs. So I'll blog blog blog about my rantings all day all night to my heart's content if I want =].&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&gt; Next Question&lt;br /&gt;so why is my blog called &lt;b&gt;2am&lt;/b&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;2am is usually the hour I'm most productive. You can find me cleaning my room, practising piano, planning for the next day etc etc. While all the normal people in this country is fast asleep, even if I am lying in bed my mind is working its hardest, generating an abundance amount of random thoughts to do with my day, my future, my life, my friends, my family, my apetite,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);font-size:85%;" &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;i style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;him&lt;/i&gt; and other thoughts alike. hence the blog name: 2am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok... so now that those are out of the way where should I start?&lt;br /&gt;hrmm... How about how my day went? Technically I didn't have a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;"day"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;. Last night after coming home from Sophia's bbq with a swollen foot and scratched polished toenails I cleaned my room for our expectant guests who were coming in from melbourne. So yes, I don't have my room for this whole week :( boo. but in the name of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;good hosts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;reputable hospitality&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; I sucked it in like a man and gave up my bed like a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;generous samaritan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; (go me!). Anyway my "day" consisted of sleeping at 1am and waking up at 4pm. Boo yeah! Yess I am good in bed ;) Then I had piano concert rehearsal at 6pm, picked my cousin up from my mum's bakery/lunchbar, came home and dinnered, then dl music, chat, spent an hour deciding whether to blog or not and here I am posting my first few &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);font-size:85%;" &gt;words of wisdom =)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soooo....Let's look at what has been happening lately:&lt;br /&gt;I believe my life is made up of 4 big components at the moment: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:85%;" &gt;uni/career&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);font-size:85%;" &gt;family&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;friends&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;love&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's start off with the one that gets everyone &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;screwed over&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;love.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;"&gt; Around 3 weeks ago I had a boyfriend and now I don't. And a big part of the reason as to why I've been in such a &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;rotten mood&lt;/span&gt; these past few weeks is because of him. :( But more about him another day. I have a feeling I'll be ranting on about him and the reasons as to why love is such a pain in the ass &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;i style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;a lot&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;uni.&lt;/b&gt; well..uni's &lt;b&gt;OVER!&lt;/b&gt; MUHhauhauhau =D About 3 months ago I reconsidered my law/commerce degree at murdoch and came to the realisation that law just ain't for me. I'm actually pretty good arguing but I think what I lacked was the passion to argue - especially mooting on crap like damages and torts. Put it frankly: I'd rather watch grass grow -_-.&lt;br /&gt;I started to find arguments such a waste of time and effort. I didn't fit in with other law students. Everyone was so passionate and just.. &lt;i style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);"&gt;into &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;. And I definately am not =/ Nevertheless I enjoyed Crim and torts and ALS and reading&amp;amp;writing. I shall miss referring to the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);font-size:85%;" &gt;"reasonable prudent man" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;haha!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So where am I heading now? Being in the indecisive phase I am in now, I opted for a transfer to UWA going into a single commerce degree. Reason? It's the most versatile degree and one of the only degrees I'm willing to pursue that would also keep my parents seated comfortably watching Paris By Night while bragging on about their daughter's achievements to other parents alike.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--&gt;  &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;So commerce from here and we'll see where I venture off to later, shall we? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);font-size:85%;" &gt;teheeehehee&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;family.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;My immediate family consists of me, my mum and my dad. we haven't always been perfect, then again no family is. But I like to think that we atleast try to get along and when the world walks out on me I can always depend on my them to be there for me. As they say &lt;i style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;blood&lt;/i&gt; is always thicker.&lt;br /&gt;It's the first day of the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;Christmas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; season so this is a good time for us. Although maybe on a daily basis we don't always get alot, my family's one of those ones that always makes the exception for Christmas. Ahh..that's what I love about Christmas. Those who know me know that I love this time of the year =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;friends.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;thing's haven't really been going well in this department either. About a week ago I had an argument with one of my closest friends. It was over something stupid but I'm really starting to regret it. I admit that Saturday night I shouldn’t have gone off at her. But the fault wasn’t entirely mine and she had a big role to play in the whole ordeal too. It was after exams, after the realisation of being &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;dumped&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/i&gt;kicked in and during a time that I needed her most. Funny, because she’s the one who’s taking her sweet time to get over it. I wish she would just get over it already and stop wasting both our time over meaningless grudges -_- talking about it just makes me angry so more about that another day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;So when two out of four things are going wrong I shall move on, fix what I can and focus my life on things within my control for the time being. Heh! Easier said than done -_-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;My net disconnected for 3 hours before I got to post this and now it's like 1:15am and I can feel angry thoughts brewing in my mind again. Time to get some fresh air. The moon looks like a smiley face tonight with the two stars as my friend says so I'll go check that out. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm back here again in a few hours to rant rant rant. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Aww. and the person I told could be the first reader of my blog is now off to sleep. Too bad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;gnites!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8322263329787626574-8863602850714795984?l=lynsays.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/feeds/8863602850714795984/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8322263329787626574&amp;postID=8863602850714795984' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/8863602850714795984'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8322263329787626574/posts/default/8863602850714795984'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lynsays.blogspot.com/2008/12/christmas-fresh-start-new-years-and-all.html' title='Christmas, fresh start, new years and all that jazz.'/><author><name>MadHatter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
