05:07 am - And another Tim Minchin lyricspam
This one isn't hilarious, but something about the lyrics touched me.
Not Perfect
This is my Earth and I live in it
It's one third dirt and two thirds water
And it rotates and revolves through space, at rather an impressive pace
And never even messes up my hair
And here's the really weird thing: The force created by its spin
Is the force that stops the chaos flooding in...
This is my Earth and it's fine
It's where I spend the vast majority of my time
It's not perfect... But it's mine.
It's not perfect...
This is my house and I live in it
It's made of cracks and photographs
We bought it from a guy, who bought it from a guy,
Who bought it from a guy whose granddad left it to him
And the weirdest thing is that this house has locks to keep the baddies out
But they're mostly used to lock ourselves in...
This is my house and it's fine
It's where I spend the vast majority of my time
It's not perfect... But it's mine.
Its not perfect... But it's mine.
This is my body and I live in it
It's 35 and 6 months old
It's changed a lot since it was new, It's done stuff it wasn't built to do
I often try to fill it up with wine
And the weirdest thing about it is I spend so much time hating it
But it never says a bad word about me.
This is my body and it's fine
It's where I spend the vast majority of my time
It's not perfect... But it's mine.
It's not perfect...
This is my brain and I live in it
It's made of love and bad song lyrics
It's tucked away behind my eyes, where all my fucked-up thoughts can hide
'cause God forbid I hurt somebody
And the weirdest thing about a mind is that every answer that you find
Is the basis of a brand new cliché...
This is my brain and it's fine
It's where I spend the vast majority of my time
It's not perfect... But it's mine.
It's not perfect... But it's mine.
Its not perfect... I'm not quite sure I've worked out how to work it....
It's not perfect...
But it's mine.

08:10 pm - (Lament of the Three-Toed) Sloth by Tim Minchin
I used to be quite active in high school
Back when my metabolic rate was faster
I was always quite stocky,
but I was pretty good at hockey
I avoided white bread, potatoes and pasta.
I used to be an average mammal
I was no Jesse Owens, but I wasn't John Candy
I was never that attractive,
But I was reasonably active
I sure wasn't synonymous with lazy!
I don't think I'm that apathetic
I'll admit, I'm not particularily ambitious
But the fact that on the ground
I don't break the speed of sound
Is typical of Megalonychidae Choloepus!
Oh God, were you really being fair
When you named the land animals and birds of the air
Did you stop to think, "That's a bit rough
naming that poor little fella a sloth?"
Pigeonholing should be left for pigeons!
And frankly, I'm starting to get sick
Of being labeled by the number of my toes
And the fact that on the ground I'm not that quick
I can't think of any other creatures around
Who are forced to share their names with a sin
There's a pride of lions, sure, but that's a collective noun
They don't have a greed or a lust in the Singapore Zoo
... And Tim Roth isn't spelled with a 'W'.
And just in case I wasn't disadvantaged enough,
You blessed me with only three toes
That are actually too claw-like to grab on to stuff
And this simian face, and this damn ursine nose to top it off
Oh, and then you went and called me a sloth!
Lord, I have always done my best
This cross that I bear has put hair on my chest
And with the three claws that you gave me
I clawed my way up to the top of the tree
But up here I'm tired and lonely as well
I've got few slothy friends and no slothy girl
It's really quite tough
Being a three-toed sloth
In this five-fingered hustle-bustle world.

04:36 pm - A Fragment of writing.
"I was wrong about you. I thought you've grown past such childish, manipulative behaviour."
"You were wrong about many things."
"You've grown bolder, noble one. But you still have much to learn. You cross the fine line between confidence and arrogance, and wield your new-found sword as if it were a bludgeon."
"You mock me. That is a grave error. You will not live to regret it."
"You've picked the wrong opponent, noble one. A shame, really... But I will not hold back. En garde!"

It's really not easy to study for exams when your heart is still in pain.
But I do it anyway, since there really is little choice on the matter.
Yay for the thousands of little ways in which the human body can turn on itself and completely EFF! itself over through single point mutations.

12:50 am - Gods I hate these fluctuations.
I have no adequate way to describe how I'm feeling right now. But I can say one thing, it's not fun.
I feel... Hollow. Alone, even though I know I'm not - and even that knowledge feels hollow.
But I can't seem to help it.
This happens quite a bit lately. Not all the time - it comes and goes, fluctuates like crazy. I've been feeling this more and more lately, though... Especially at nights. This is quite a terrible timing for me to feel this way, too - with an exam period bearing down on me and assignments to do and whatnot. And yet...
sigh.
Yeah. I don't really know what the purpose of this entry is, really. I guess I'm just venting.

12:50 pm - No Release
She's changed, she's new now
She moved on somehow
The pain is gone now
But she still needs room to breathe
You've changed, you're silent
For all those years spent
Explaining what it was that you really meant
Now you won't say it aloud,
You'd rather be silent and proud
But deep inside you still lies the beast
If she's the reason you live
You only get what you give
And what you've given is no release.
You've changed, you've grown up
Your wounds have sewn up
Your time has shown up
Yet you still can't find a way
No lies, no secrets
This is your life, now keep it
In time you'll see it
The faces you have put on
Have held you back all along
You're a king, not a pawn, so cease
To be so loyally fake
You only get what you take
And what you've taken is no release.
And one day everyone will smile again
You'll feel like a child again
And look behind us
And think of all the stuff that's going on
The stuff we're growing on
It's an ashen quadrant affair, except you just don't care
Your only aim has been to appease
Lay down your pride and your gun, you're only one
Who's still looking for some release.
And if the rules they can bend
You know you still could be friends
But it doesn't rely on me
This is as far as I go
I only said what I know
And what I know is you need release.

I am once again single. I have little to say about it.
I have little to say about anything.
That is all.

12:16 am - And thus, does 2011 pass on to the lands of shadow.
Happy arrival at a completely arbitrary point along the planet's orbit, folks!
I'm not going to go into dramatic new year's wishes. I'm not going to ramble about new beginnings - because most of the time, new beginnings are entirely up to us and have very little to do with the date unless we make them to be. I also feel that I don't think I need a specific date to hope you're all having a smashing time out there on this planet - and if you aren't - that you will as soon as possible and that all things will turn out as well as they possibly can. ^^
And to those ancient cultures who prophecized the end of the world in this year, I dedicate Dragostea Din Tei. ("Maya he?, Maya who?, Maya huh? Maya HAH HAH.")
As for any new year's resolutions? 1280x1024 on the external monitor, 1200x800 on the laptop's monitor.
That is all. Carry on then!

05:55 pm - Meanwhile on the Exodus Chatbox...
Pundora's Box has been opened, and has been steadily projecting moar and more terrible puns for a few days.
Bahamut: i can knit now
Admiral Tupper: Sadly, the only thing I can knit is my brow.
Ninety: i used to know how to crochet
StellarWind Elsydeon: Then you took a needle to the knee?
Ninety: FUCK YOU
Ninety: I hate that stupid joke
StellarWind Elsydeon: My, didn't know you were that touchy about that injury.
Ninety: AAAAAAAAAAAAAUGUHHHIHGHGH
StellarWind Elsydeon: Mission accomplished. (Trots off to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Z4m4lnjxkY)
Dr. Kuroboom: One of the guards told me "HANDS TO YOURSELF SNEAK THIEF!" so I stole the clothes off his back.
Test "Shiro-kun" Bughearst: ... I just become a Thanein that particular town and do whatever the fuck I want. Also Ninety shouldn't be so... crochety. B)
Dr. Kuroboom: I'm sure he'll spin you a yarn about how he's on pins and needles about sew and sew.
StellarWind Elsydeon: And expect us to take it as if it were dyed in the wool even though the story hangs by a thread.
StellarWind Elsydeon: (Oh the puns we fabricate.)
StellarWind Elsydeon: (A fine quilt of text-tiling)
Bahamut: i think i hate you all
ch00beh: You don't sound sew sure about that
Ninety: i hate you all
Adrammolech: choobs, kuroboom already made that pun. i mean, i hate to knitpick, but seriously.
StellarWind Elsydeon: Well, what do you expect him to do with us stringing this out for so long?
Bahamut: you guys are leaving me in stitches ¬¬
Ninety: I am never coming back to this website.
ch00beh: I do knit care
Test "Shiro-kun" Bughearst: I'm yarning for some more puns, guys.
ch00beh: no
Dr. Kuroboom: Put a sock in it. All of these puns are cut from the same cloth.
Admiral Tupper: I don't mean to needle, but what are all these puns about?
StellarWind Elsydeon: *sigh* Weave been through this already. >>
Test "Shiro-kun" Bughearst: We can't just leave him bobbin for answers. We need to pin an answer down for him.
StellarWind Elsydeon: And here I thought the end of this particular thread was looming on the horizon...

05:24 pm - And in the true spirit of Nordic myths appropriated by Christians...
And though he has faded from belief by many, there is still one they all expect. In their tongue, he is Santakiin, Reindeerborn!
Contrary to popular belief, he distributes the damn presents HIMSELF. Well, he used to have Reindeer... but then they took an arrow to the knee.
... In all seriousness, Merry Christmas, folks. Hope you're having a great one. ^^

04:37 pm - Happy birthday, Katie! ^^
Just in case you'll see this here first rather than on my art thread. XD
I'm sorry it's not one of my best works, I've been sick for the past day or so and this is kind of the best I could pull off. ^^; Hope you like it anyway.
Once again, have a great one, Katie. Have an awesome 27th year on this bloody rock ^^ (hugs)

04:14 pm - Lyricspam of the Now
Dreams stripped down beyond firelight ,
I would go over but my only coat's off white
and seeing things unreal
God knows what that stained
and what comes crawling back again
Tears are harbored,
Down to the thorny altar
I'm afraid I might fade away.
Here's to the blood we sing and burn
A thousand blackbirds on a string return
There's a solitary sun too high
Gone without the chosen one, goodbye
Ashes scatter, burning Jacob's ladder
I'm afraid I might fade away.
Here's to the blood we sing and burn
A thousand blackbirds on a string return
Where's the solitary sun? Too high
Gone without the chosen one, goodbye
Here's to the blood we sing and burn
A thousand blackbirds on a string return
Where's the solitary sun? Too high
Gone without the chosen one, goodbye
Rage untethered, the soul a stony desert
I'm afraid I might fade away.

02:55 pm - Bungie Budgie, The Trip, A Loss and a Scanner.
And sadly, they'd do a better job than 343i seem to be doing.
(Insert five hours of nerdrage about Cryptum, Primordium and how bears named Greg do not belong anywhere near writing things even vaguely related to the Halo series).
Ahem.
Anyway, needless to say I've been back here for a while. Landed on August 22nd, and been kind of derping about since. I figured that since I haven't updated LJ in bloody ages I might as well ramble for a bit about what's been going on with me as of late. Caution: This post is going to be a huge fucking novel.
( So, first and foremost: the trip. ).
So, TL;DR version - It was an awesome trip and I had a wonderful time with ze lifemate.
Once I got back here, not much happened. I've replayed a few point-and-click adventure games and started a new run of Pokemon Platinum (because I've finished the copy of White I finally got my claws on) and a run of Baldur's Gate 2 (Half-Elf Druids aren't exactly the strongest characters one can play. <<;). A new AC unit was installed in my room (which direly needed it!) and all was relatively quiet.
( Until this Sunday. )
But on happier news...
( So. I got a new scanner. ).
And that's pretty much the rundown of everything. Hurdadurdalur. Plans for the rest of this month include some reconstruction/redesign work on my room, signing up for whatever courses I have as soon as possible (I hope they're still running that Astrobiology course!) and set up the dorms for THIS year. Oh gods dealing with the bullshit 'reformed' public transportation system that fails to work properly kill me please. x-x

01:47 pm - That'll shut them up for a bit.
Only friends can now comment on my entries. I've had it with those mothereffing spambots on this mothereffing site.

05:22 pm - Leaving on a jet plane~
So, tomorrow morning (8:15 AM specifically) I'm launching off to ze States again to spend some time with ze lifemate <3. One week in NY followed by two weeks in Orlando. I'll be back here on August 22nd. Hurdadurdalur~

July 21st, 2011
08:29 pm - And then FoS moved hosts.
Because it was about to expire and they demanded a completely ridiculous price to renew it.
So I moved hosts.
And somewhere along the move the forum database went keput. Fortunately I saved all the threads that needed to be saved. These (primarily RPs) will be processed and re-uploaded soonish. Otherwise.. Derp. XD
