deliberate misquote

If you had one shot, one opportunity.
To have everything you ever wanted;
Even if it meant hurting someone you care about,
One moment. Would you take it?
Or let it slip?

Always Look On The Bright Side of Life

On The Bright Side is today. And no, I'm not going. How am I feeling about that? Devastated and deeply regretting not buying a ticket.

In case you don't know what it is (How could you not?!), it's a music festival consisting (this year) of Mumford & Sons, The Strokes, Angus & Julia Stone, Bluejuice, The Middle East, Band of Horses, Art Vs Science, and Hot Chip. 

As my more amusing posts seem to be when I'm complaining about something, I regret to inform you that this one isn't one of those. Not that I have nothing to whine about, it's just that defaming my family online is the last thing on my mind seeing as one day I'm going to be rich and famous (DUH) so the last thing I'll need is something to uh, destroy my reputation. Funny, no?

Anyway, as to the title of this bloggg postttt. Taken from? A quote of a wise old man? Not exactly. But I'd be happy to place Monty Python into that category. For those of you unfamiliar with Monty Python and their...work, shame on you. For they possess some of the greatest comedic minds of all time. And what can I say? They're British.

 Monty Python

So here's a list of the funniest out there:

-Monty Python

-Lee Evans

-Catherine Tate

-The Mighty Boosh

The Mighty Boosh

And that's all I can remember off the top of my head. But it's definitely substantial enough, trust me. Go on YouTube and type up any of those, you will be kept laughing. I assure you.

And I must be off -  I have a life to live. Not.

Why boys are like toothache.

So it's over. And because he has been a major part of your life, of course you'll miss him. It's perfectly normal.

It's like getting a tooth pulled out; after the dentist takes it out, after it's gone, you're relieved.

But how many times will your tongue run over the spot where the tooth used to be?

 

Probably a hundred times a day. Just because it was hurting you doesn't mean you don't notice it now that it doesn't. It leaves a gap, and sometimes you see yourself missing it terribly. It's going to take a while, but it takes time. 

Should you have kept the tooth? No, because it was causing you pain. Pulling the tooth was the right decision, even if it's going to hurt.

blood-suckers

So I shouldn't have got home at 12 last night/morning and gone to sleep at 7. Because now I'm awake again and I don't feel so great. But I have an almost valid reason!

In HK, during one of my bored moments spent watching the TV, I came across this show called the Vampire Diaries. And I have no idea when - but I think it was - on TV screens back home because I don't usually watch any TV...

But I love this show. So I'm downloading the whole first season - 22 episodes. (Do not tell my parents that is why the internet is behaving so badly.) It's got funny moments, romantic moments (duh vampires) and suspenseful frightening moments. I mean, I hate Twilight with a passion because although it's not a shit idea (though overused/slightly unoriginal) it's just written and performed by the wrong people. And the Vampire Diaries was a book series back when Stephanie Meyers was in nappies. No, I take that back, she's not that young.

And apart from all those *moments*, here's the other reason why all sane girls - and some guys, of course - should watch this show:

Stefan Salvatore. Vampire. Good Vampire. In love with Elena, protagonist.

Mmhmm. Six pack.

Stefan and his evil brother Damon.

Damon Salvatore. Vampire. Bad vampire.

Couldn't find many photos of this guy (the one below is from some random other show)

Matt Donovan, school jock. In love with main girl Elena.

Jeremy Gilbert, brother of the main girl, cute or what?

Ben. Evil vampire. Haven't seen enough of him to know what happens to him.

And there's quite a few others as well, but I couldn't find any decent pictures of them...

Conclusion? Watch this series. NOW.

You know you want to.

...there were funky China men, from funky China-town

Word of the day:
Asian - of or relating to or characteristic of Asia or the peoples of Asia or their languages or culture. Asians are usually smart and have the following aspects although not limited to:
1. straight A's
2. strict parents
3. good at Maths and Science
4. superb exam scores
5. some can dance
6. good at video games
7. generally dominates at anything they set out to do.synonyms: oriental, stingy, smart, awesome but not as awesome as Eurasians. :)


So I went to Hong Kong recently. I had the intention of putting here a big sort of daily journal entry thing for my trip, inclusive of photos, (eek Identity theft!) but instead of boring you to death with every little detail I thought was amusing at the time, here’s a shorter...blurb thing.

Hong Kong. A place full of history, asian people, and lots of tourists from all over the world. Some hot. Some not. A place where you’d see thousands of different people, each day, that you wouldn’t see in a month back home. A place where there is such a variety of food and shopping places you wouldn’t want to leave. 

But then there’s the weather. Because in summer this place is 35 degrees, with at least 97% humidity. Which means you will be sweating the moment you leave the airport to the moment you walk back in through those doors. And then there are the people who don’t know what deodorant is. And somewhere along with them there are those seedy men you will find around every corner, in every shop, restaurant, swimming pool, hotel lobby, train station, tram and bus. No kidding. Dress like nuns, ladies, tis the only way you can avoid them...

I guess every place has its upsides and downsides, you gotta hope it’s more of the former.

Couldn't find a 'quote of the day' with the any Asians in it. Please, if you have one, give it. Now.

selfish bitches.

Word of the day:
self-centred - limited to or caring only about yourself and your own needs.
synonyms: egocentric, egoistical, selfish, self-absorbed.

So I'm a bitch. I know I'm a bitch. And I have no problem being a bitch. Actually I find it quite fun. If people thought I was nice all the time then I'd never have the opportunity to rant about other bitches being bitches and sluts and whores and dickheads and moronic twats.


But as in the aforementioned title, this post is about the selfish, self-absorbed bitches of our world. Those girls who think that their voice and their opinion is more important than anyone else's. The girls who everyone listen to because they have to, and when people ignore them just for a second, the girls who complain about no one ever listening to them. The girls who think they have it hard just because they had an argument with their mum. The attention seeking people who seem to believe they are the only ones allowed to be in a bad mood, and expect everyone to praise them for every tiny thing they have done even when a kindy kid could have done better.


Please. Grow up. You're not that smart, and you're definitely not that brilliant. If you could just stop talking for one second you'd be able to hear what other people have to say for a change and realise you're better off keeping your mouth shut. No, I really don't care what your mum said to you at dinner last night. And I don't give a shit about this new guy that you like. No, I don't have to tell you everything about my life and the people in it just because you find pleasure in repeating your life story to everyone you see. Yes, I know, I knew that a month ago. Yes, I had that very same thought, back when I was in Year 8. Oh really, I had no idea! No wait, I've heard you say it about three times in the last hour? 


Aww you had a big fight with your mum, ohh no. Because that doesn't happen to me twice a fucking day, and not just with mum but my entire family. But wait, did I tell you about that? No. Because nobody honestly gives a shit. There are worse things in the world, it's not exactly like someone has died. Oh yeah, I forgot, we have to talk about boys and/or sex all the time, because there is absolutely NOTHING more interesting. Do you not get sick of it?


Bitch, please. Enough.


Quote of the day: (Skins Season 1)
Abigail Stock: I'll kill you, you fucking flatchested cocksucking spastic fucking horsefucker! 
Sid: Wow. Good swearing. 

how opprobrious.

Word of the day:
ignominious - deserving or bringing disgrace or shame.
synonyms: disgraceful, inglorious, opprobrious, shameful.

I have a literature test tomorrow on Romantic poetry. Just to let you know. So here's one from me. Doesn't quite fit the 'Romantic' genre, but it's mine and mine alone.

I don't love you. And I'm sorry,
But I know now that I never did.
I wanted it to mean something.
But for some reason or another
It didn't.

You can tell me you love me,

How can I be sure that you mean it?

It would never have worked,

We just weren't meant to be.

You were too trusting;

I made too many excuses.

Now there's someone else,
And he's different from you.
Seems more real; like someone
I'd want to keep in my life forever.
He's caught my attention;
All I need to do is catch his.

Love? Pfft.

Word of the day
Supercilious - having or showing arrogant superiority to and disdain of those one views as unworthy. 
Synonyms: snide, sneering, haughty, disdainful.

Seeing as so far here I've been all sentimental and girly, I've decided this post I'll have to resort to being that snide bitch that I am in real life. Not that being a snide bitch is bad thing, mind. :)

So what am I talking about? Love. I shudder at the thought of it. Not real love, I mean it's obviously a good thing to love and be loved. But it's the juvenile, teenage idea of love that pisses me off. All those 'ILY's' and 'I love you's' that get passed around so carelessly make me feel sick. I don't care if you say it to your friends, yeah whatever. I know I rarely do, but I'm part Asian - I don't even tell my mother I love her. *shocked*

What I get annoyed at is how in teenage relationships people can tell each other they love each other within the first few weeks of a relationship. How can you even know so soon unless you've known them for years? Most of the time the words are hardly meant, just thrown about because thats just 'what you're meant to say.' But if they're not meant then why say them? It just ends in someone getting hurt.

And that makes me feel like a hypocrite because I've definitely done/said things like it without meaning it. But never again. Trust me.

I just can't take relationships now seriously. They just seem so juvenile and unrealistic, and they all will have to end at some point, because truthfully do you seriously want to be with this guy/girl for the rest of your life? Are you going to get married to them? Most chances are, you most definitely won't. So cut it with the 'love' until you're ready. Sure, have relationships, and have fun. Be experimental. But don't expect it to last because it won't. Don't feel hurt when it really isn't worth it. And most of all, don't lie. Mean what you say, or don't say anything at all.

Who, who do you think you are?

So I've been part of the school production of "The Wiz" for the last few months, and tonight is the last performance. I may be just a chorus member but well without us the musical would be...just a little terrible.

Anyway. There's this guy. And no, this has nothing to do with me. Not really. Because everyone, I repeat, EVERYONE, is obsessed with him. Something close to obsession, anyway. For good reasons as he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet, an amazingly talented dancer, and has very nice arms...moving on. So my friend "likes" him. Thinks she does. But there's a difference between like and "like", right?

You can like all the good things about someone, but then once you've got to know them well and you learn all their bad habits and qualities, I guess you have to learn to love and accept them for who they are or just...not like them anymore. I don't know, just a thought.

Everything Will Be Alright

Sometimes you just have to settle for what you’ve got,

and if that’s nothing, so be it.

Some things were never meant to be.

I can see that now.

I look at you through a different light;

and I guess you’re not as cool as I once thought you were.

You moved on a long time ago -

I’ve learnt to accept it.

Now I’m just going to go with the flow,

take life as it happens.

The best things come to those who wait.

COOKING TIME

Okay so I really just have to share with you this amazing website. It looks really quite helpful, actually. But I don't need it seeing as I'm not really likely to be cooking dinner any time soon. But just in case:

Just A Slice of Random Cake For You

His beard is long and red and,

His hat stays on his head and,

He asks us all the questions,

And we know all the answers.

His heart lies in the ocean,

His devotions are in the city of fun;

(He's the captain!)

He's the captain,

He's the captain,

The captain!
