Voices

I'm not trying to sound like a nut, but I wanna know if it's kinda common for people to hear voices in their head. I've talked to one friend who does... And that was kinda cool to know someone else gets similar deals. I'm talking about when things are kinda quiet, maybe like when you're trying to fall asleep (that is if there isn't music on...) and distinct voices say distinct phrases in your head. I never know who owns the voices. And the phrases are always really random and weird, so I don't know where they come from. Once I tried letting my brain do its drifty hearing voices thing and 'waking up' to write them down each time and ended up with a page of stuff that I couldn't explain. I've thought before that it could be a cool way of getting song lyrics without having to think about them.

Thanks to tha 'Ru, I can now count my assessments left this session on the hand of a Simpson (i.e. there remain 4). W007n355!

Urge to go on outdoor adventures... rising... !!

「クラフト使い」

Oooh... The sooner this uni foo is over, the sooner I can watch more Witch Hunter Robin! How exciting! :) Saturday night Sal, Doug, Sim and I went for nutritious kebabs (eaten in a dangerously dark carpark...) & Coles adventures, before sitting down to the first few episodes of WHR. So good. And I've had the phrase "kurafuto tsukai" stuck in my head since! :p (True story.) The boys both fell asleep. Weak. Sal will back me up on this call. I don't know how they fell asleep. Good anime.

If it doesn't already exist, I think Canon should make a backlit version of my electronic Japanese dictionary. And it should have rechargable batteries. People underrate the importance of backlighting. O, hear me cry - this be my tale o' woe.

Alright!!

You Are 13 Years Old

13 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

Yay :)

I like today.

Handed in my thesis poster and did a bit of extra work my supervisor asked me to do. Pretty easy morning. Went and gave blood when I was reminded by an ee-eeeemail about the need. (Slowest... donation... EVER - 8'58". I think it was because I didn't drink enough water beforehand... maybe.) Got some music in the mail from an uber uber UBER organised mother of a bride whose wedding isn't until October. And it looks pretty easy, which is always handy. Hooray for their good organisation.

It's always better on holiday.

I think I want to learn how to dominate a Rubic's Cube. Mum & Dad brought one home for me a while ago, & it seems there aren't all that many moves you need to memorise to solve'm.

Uni... The countdown continues with 14 days still to go. Even though that ridiculously fun and exciting time of thesis report writing is over for this session, there's still stuffu to do, but my brain thinks it's all over. Think I managed to convince myself it'd be alright after thesis foo.

(I'm supposed to say something about a certain burger I ate on Sunday, so...)
I don't know if you can call something a "burger" if it isn't on a burger bun. What defines a burger? Is it the actual patty thing? I mean, if you just put a bunch of salad on a proper burger bun, it's not a burger, yeah? In any case, these "burgers" - made by none other than the infamous Xhef Xim - earned at least 10 points from me. Patties with, I think, 65% ground cow, cheese, bacon, egg, lettuce & TWO layers of barbecue sauce (one next to the cheese and one next to the egg - I think). One of the best things I've ever eaten. (Note: I was ultra hungry after wandering around at the puter fair for maybe too long...)

That burger could also have been tasting extra good because of the relief that came with finally finishing - with the help of the magnificent sarooo who proof read some really BORING stuff - that too-long and too-dry report.

Renewed my licence this morning. Fun times at the RTA as usual. It has long been one of my least favourite places. For some reason it's depressing. Maybe it's the whole pitying the old dudes who are having a hard time getting their licence renewed. Maybe it's bad memories of not passing my P's test the first *ahemorsecondbutforstupidreasonsahem* time. Oh well. Hopefully I won't need to be seeing that place for another three years.

Jaaaaa, mata ne!

Still counting my days away like my grandma, I think, told me not to. But I'll only be doing it for another 21 days (for now). From tomorrow, 5 days till thesis report's due. I can't wait to breathe and sleep again! And go on adventures. And play piano. And watch stupid movies. And watch awesome concert dvds. Aaaw yeeeah :) In this kinda stressful time though, God is cool to know (like always) and my fam & friends have been pretty rockin' too. People who understand. Aah. Such a blessing.

The Bad End of Aural Learning

The irritating sound of my own voice saying random lines from the speech I had to memorise for my Japanese class will probably go on for a few days. Argh.

"And remember, never, ever do your homework without... wearing... headphones."

Countdown (or if you will, "downcount") to the thesis report due date is scary. I foresee many a sleepless night of anguish.

But in four weeks there'll be much adventuring! Or maybe just lazing around and watching all my music DVDs. Oh boy. I can't wait.

Hooray for the thought that one day work won't be a burden.
