Which Immortal are You?
brought to you by Quizilla



You are Sanzo from Saiyuki

You are supposed to be a holy man but you smoke,
drink, gamble, cuss, fight, and kill without
the slightest trace of remorse. Other people
annoy you, along with pretty much everything
else in the world that doesn't go your way.
You have no qualms about using force to get
what you desire and have on numerous occasions
brushed others aside to accommodate yourself.
At least you know without doubt exactly what
you want, and you'll get it even if you have to
shoot every goddamn idiot in your way. Sadly
for your ammunition, there seem to be quite a
few of those around.

One Of My Turns
You ever get the feeling it's gonna be one of those days? One of those days that ends with you curled up in a corner with your head between your knees, begging for it to all be over?

I got that feeling right now.

Last night should have been an indication. An assignment for one of my subjects involves drawing a UML diagram. The tutor gave me a list of a few programs that draw them for you (He wants us to do it using a specific UML drawing software, and rather 'implied' that he would think less of us if we were unable to achieve this. Actually, he said 'I sincerely hope that everyone here has the ability to download and use a new peice of software, because that's one of the core values I'm required to teach you'), and I went off to download one of them. I got ArgoUML first, because that wasn't just a trial version. Except that I can't open the fecker. I thought it may be because my VJM needed to be updated, since it did have a minimum verson listed, and so I set about that. After several crashes caused by a separate web browser, it simply stopped downloading. I kept trying, it kept refusing to even start the download. I even tried starting up a new one, and I was more or less laughed at. Meanwhile I tried to wrangle with the uni website to get some lecture notes off of it, which I later realised I already fecking had. I'm just pleased that the copmputer didn't crash in the middle of this one like they did for one of my other lectures. But eventually I gave up out of stress and being fecking tired.

But that was last night.

This morning I woke up an hour late. Despite the fact that my alarm is set for seven, I do allow for the fact that I'll probably hit the snooze button several times. I try to wake up at 7:30. I woke up at 8:30 after my alarm had turned itself on and off, thereby missing my morning and throwing off my ritual. This was the usual rude shock you get when you discover you've overslept, sending me into 10 minutes of overdrive before I petered out again. At least I ate breakfast, even if it was just bread.

Eventually I got ready, just in time to head for the bus. Except that I realised I'd forgotten something and had to run back to get it. Luckilly, I still made the bus (after power-walking the distance... I think my drink bottle will explode...).

And now, in my first class of the day (my practical for UI) - I can't do it. Because, for some reason, I cannot actually access the course website to get the details for the practical. And I'm the only one who can't seem to do this - everyone else appears to be doing just fine. Only I can't access the materials. Which pissed me off half an hour ago, but at the moment just makes me feel extremely dejected.

So instead I'm trying to nut my way around JTabbedPane. Go me.

Someone just knock me out now so I can go home... I still have a UI tutorial I don't really understand yet (I'm hoping the tutorial will actually explain things) and a 2 hour UI lecture I think I'll leave in the middle of, because I don't want to get put in jail for murdering a primary school student on the 3:22 bus. Which I may just end up doing today.

Shiney On The Inside
Relised today that bus has not actually changed route. Not sure eactly why we went the funny way that day, but we did...

Went over Naomi's place yesterday - she lives really close. Of all the people who'se houses I can walk to, hers is the closest. T'was cool, we talked, and much talking was done. I had fun ^_^;

My bro forgot I was cooking for him on wednesday, and had eaten before I arrived home. Probably for the best.

Wrangled computer last night, but came out happy. Poor baby's probably so wriddled with virus' she doesn't know what to do with herself. Changed my background picture. Really nice picture of Shion and KOS-MOS now. Not sure what my brother will think. Eh.

I think I'm done. Just catching up on an hours work I lost. Seeya.

Insufficient Data Coming Through.
The events of today -

Woke up nackered.

Got Rishald's english name - Odion. It's better then Duke.

Zoned out on the bus.

Uni.

Realized that my bus has changed route slightly and now travels through Mawson Lakes proper, so I got to see all the water and the shopping center and the pub... and the subway store. Very swanky. It's wierd - when I started going there, that place was the stix. Way out the back of nowhere, built on a swamp. The only things there really were the Uni and Technology Park. Now the place is full of lakes and beautiful scenery and clean streets and pretty houses and housing estates with fences that have the names of the streets on them - like 'The Peppercorns' or 'Parkway', and other such nobby sorts of names. I wondered if perhaps I'd slept through the last few times we'd been through there, because I definitely don't remember seeing it before.

Went to game. Had fun. Was zombie, but was not eaten by zombie. Tahir is pleased it turned out as blodless as it did. Wish he'd shut up and let Kayain talk again - he's more introspective then I thought he'd be. He's just not very stable - It might be genetic. Came up with an important idea that involves Sierra, Rope and the guy downstairs too. Too tired to write scenes though, so... maybe it's for the best. At least it's not Necro, not in the mood for deep, philosophical discussion on the nature of crochete. Worry about him sometimes.

Dad poped 'round today. Got to see him and say hi and give him happy hug. Was pleased I caught him. Go puppy go! He thought it was odd that mum came home occcasionally to drop off frozen food. He thinks a lot of things are odd, and vice versa with mum. They so cute, they don't get each other at all. :: pats parents on head ::

Fluffy and white head, just like the head of a rabbit.

Ate food. Pizza. Made it eddible. Not enough for teenage brother. Bah.

Watched TV. Too zoned to draw. Pissed about that. Head was ugly. CSI made me giggle. It does that sometimes. Rove always makes me giggle. Go forth Rover, good doggie!

Waiting up for Futurama. I'm bad puppy - shouldn't be doing this. Silly puppy. Oh well. My own fault, ne? Have to wake up early(er) tomorrow. Wonder if I'll be able to achieve that...

Hamsters eating my brain. so cute. Kushkush. Want to learn ending theme. Want to sing all the time. Aaaaall tttthhhhhe tiiiiime. 'The' has no appropriate long vowel sound. Ah well.

It's amasing what you don't notice. Just yesterday, I noticed (really noticed) for the first time that my magill bus-stop was right under the Santos building - literally across the street from it. It's the biggest building in adelaide. I kept missing it. I don't usually look up. If I noticed it before - which I'm sure I did - It didn't really register that 'oh, the santos building, that's a landmark'. Same with bee-hive corner. I'm sure I'd seen the beehive, but it's not at ground level. It's not an apropriate landmark. We have Chocolate end (with Haigs and Darrel Lee) and the Fast Food end (With Makkas, KFC and Hungry Jacks. That's Burger King to all you yankees). Simple, eh?

Eh. It's still early, but I might go inside and sit quietly for a little while. I'm fluffy. I have a really itchy new jumper too. Mum found it in the back of many's car. She dont' know why it was there or whose it really was, but finders keepers. I get a lot of that - I'm a bower bird. Of sorts.

Later. Enjoy the potatoes. Sorry for disjointed silly update - really wanted to talk about all that with someone, and brother not interested.

I'm rather axious about 'Yami Marik''s voice in the dub - normally, the voices of the evil halves are harsher and deeper then those of the normal halves, but Marik's voice is already pretty rough. I'm expecting another Butch. I'm hoping to be plesantly surprised.

At Uni a Teensy Bit Early Today...
Doing tonights practical session now, and then I plan to play with Flash and perhaps Illustrator for a while. I plan to do well in this class damnit.

Then again, I always do plan to do well...

Paid my fees today. Glad that's out of the way. Wonder how much I've got at the moment. I know that I need to get more bus tickets soon, so some of what I've got will go towards that - But I've got that money on hand.

I had a really messed up dream this morning. I dreamed I was walking along the road and a car pulled up near me and threw a dog out the window - literally threw. It was the sort of dog you often find on trucks, picking their way among the disguarded beer-cans - a mix of boxer and heeler and all manner of 'blokey' breeds of dog. I think it's teeth might have been broken, and it was overweight. It kinda crawled a small ways away from the roadside and lay on it's belly looking morbid. I wasn't sure if I should pat it, because I didn't know how frightened it was, and wether it would bite me, but I wanted to call the RSPCA - except I didn't know the number. Never the less, I started looking around me to try to find out what street I was on so that I could tell the RSPCA where to come and collect the dog. There was a corner right near by (It wasn't at the start of the dream, but by that point there was a corner)which had a street sign, so I pulled out my phone and turned to the dog. Which had turned into a young black toddler with no hands, what appeared to me to be a genetic/chemical induced disability (it was affecting his face, and he seemed to be mentally handicaped), and seemed to have been crippeled because his feet were bent into the most bizarre shape - he wasn't wearing any shoes. He was also absolutely filthy - The smell is the most vivid thing from the dream. It was absolutely disgusting. Like BO and sickness and death, with undertones of alchohol and smoke. At that moment the car that threw the dog out pulled up again, and a dirty man got out and knelt down in front of the boy - didn't even look at me. He apologised to the boy, and said 'daddy needs his vices to help him take care of grandpa', picked the kid up, put him in the car (bomb) and drove off.

Around here I woke up. I felt absolutely disgusting. I decided I didn't want to get up right then either, in case that feeling stuck with me the whole day. So I tried very hard to think of something else for a while, and got up a little later then I planned.

On the bright size, I got inspired yesterday for a picture, and I've decided to make Orban the subject (Of my (male) characters, only Bran would work well with the idea). It won't be as good as I hope, but... well, it'll be something, ja?

Raven - Raven is the daughter of the old school
Native American god of the same name. She
speaks telepathically, even when in human form.
(It's unknown if she even CAN speak..) In human
form she has massive amounts of tribal
tattoos.. and she was born that way. Raven has
a British accent and is always adding her
sarcastic opinion to the conversation. She's
really kind of bitter and pissed off, but she's
good at it! (sorry for lack of image.. I don't
have any uploaded.)


Which of my characters are you?

Yay! Raven!


You have a twisted soul! Twisted Souls are never
bad, and actually, are a rarity amongst souls.
These souls are a little combination of
everything, with always a little of their own
chaos to add. Twisted Souls are kind, loving,
weird, zany, temperamental, and very talented.
They have their own firm opinion, and can at
one time be very outspoken and passionate, and
the other time shy and feeling insignificant.
Twisted Souls have good senses of Humor and
other times can be a bore. You can act quite
intelligent at one time, and grasp concepts
easily, while other times they can find it
difficult to understand. Twisted Souls are
always very fun and Kind, and can be party
animals. But, if you love someone, youre
serious about it, intense, and forever loyal.
Congratulations-the world should have more like
you.

Your a Magical Angel!Out of all the angels, you are
the one most afflicted with magic. You can do
many enchantments as well as sorcery. You cant
do black magic, because even though your not so
"pure" your still an angel. A very
kind and curious one at that. Magical Angels
are always very easy-going with humans, but
intrestingly enough, like to expirement with
them with their spells.

Your a magical unicorn! As all unicorns go, magic
unicorns are amazing with enchantments and can
perform spells and all kind of crafts. Magic
Unicorns have horns that if drank from can cure
blindness, and give immortality. All magical
unicorns are very kind and heart-warming, but
can get tempermental if a spell goes wrong.
Magical Unicorns live in forests where they can
practise all there magic in secret. But, if a
human befreinds a magical unicorn, they have a
friend for life.

Your a werewolf! Werewolf, as you may already know
are humans who were once bitten by a werewolf,
and now are the undead, who by night turn into
a werewolf and hunt out prey. Old folktales say
that a werewolf hunts humans, but that isnt
nessary. Werewolf may also hunt cattle or other
animals that have the misfortune of being near.
Werewolfs are just misunderstood though. They
are confused because they cant control
themselves. One method of curing a werewolf is
by feeding it a werewolf hair. But dont try
that to your dog. Werewolfs represent night,
darkness, curiousity, dishounesty, rage, power,
determination, and confusion.


What Mythical Beast are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
(I kept the Demon picture because I don't know what the Werewolf picture is...)


You are a PHOENIX in your soul and your
wings make a statement. Huge and born of flame,
they burn with light and power and rebirth.
Ashes fall from your wingtips. You are an
amazingly strong person. You survive, even
flourish in adversity and hardship. A firm
believer in the phrase, 'Whatever doesn't kill
you only makes you stronger,' you rarely fear
failure. You know that any mistake you make
will teach you more about yourself and allow
you to 'rise from the ashes' as a still greater
being. Because of this, you rarely make the
same mistake twice, and are not among the most
forgiving people. You're extremely powerful and
wise, and are capable of fierce pride, passion,
and anger. Perhaps you're this way because you
were forced to survive a rough childhood. Or
maybe you just have a strong grasp on reality
and know that life is tough and the world is
cruel, and it takes strength and independence
to survive it. And independence is your
strongest point - you may care for others, and
even depend on them...but when it comes right
down to it, the only one you need is yourself.
Thus you trust your own intuition, and rely on
a mind almost as brilliant as the fire of your
wings to guide you.You are eternal and because
you have a strong sense of who and what you
are, no one can control your heart or mind, or
even really influence your thinking. A symbol
of rebirth and renewal, you tend to be a very
spiritual person with a serious mind - never
acting immature and harboring a superior
disgust of those who do. Likewise, humanity's
stupidity and tendency to want others to solve
their problems for them frustrates you
endlessly. Though you can be stubborn,
outspoken, and haughty, I admire you greatly.

Da 'I suck' Rant, Mark Two!
Or not. I think I been a little messed up this week.

I've spent the entire week thinking it was next week. Yes, I'd managed to transpose myself a week into the future. I spent most of this week convinced it was... well, next week. Until today, when someone who was supposed to be there next week wasn't , thereby allerting me to my error.

You think I'd notice a little something like being transposed a week ino the future.

I think mum's going to Brisbane in March. She hasn't told me so, but I have an email reciept for a couple of tickets.

I completely forgot Nu's birthday. I feel really bad about that - I found out about it almost a month ago, and I said to myself 'Now, I should remember that and get her something. Or at least draw some happy birthday art. She's a nice girl after all.'

And I forgot -_- Very, very bad puppy.

When I get game programming skillz, the first thing I'm gonna do is create that 'Whack-A-Washi' game I keep talking about - Then all can indulge the joy of pelting me over the head :P I should probably start messing around with the game maker program that Travis is using. For shcool, I think - I can't think why else he's writing reports on help forums.

I've been really out of it. I should start putting more effort into these interpersonal relationship thingies I'm supposed to be working at.

Oh shit, that reminds me - I was supposed to call Zoe up yesterday.

See what I mean? I keep forgetting things and fecking stuff up... You'd think at some point I'd go 'Oh hey, maybe I should start actually paying attention to what the fuck I'm doing, hey?'

Instead, all I really want to do is sleep -_-. Or at least ly peacefully in my bed, no sudden stabs of whatever the fuck my brain has decided it would be fun to inflict upon my body. I believe my brain is waging a small war upon the rest of my body - and it doens't appear to have realised that it only damages itself. Maybe it likes that. My drug of choice - gross stupidity.

It comes by the gross now.

One of my teeth really, really kills. But not because of sweet stuff (Although the tooth behind it is screaming painfull with sugar), this one hurts when you touch it. It feels like the gum's receded and a nerv is exposed, or the nerves are really close to the enamel. I need to get that toothpaste I keep saying I will. Maybe I'll have a quick look tomorrow when I come into the city from uni - I've gotta pay my uni fees anyway.

My other browser crashed. Yay.

I got luggage. I'm trialing it as a replacement to my bag, which is heavy and probably not something that should be on my shoulders. The luggage can get awkward, and it gets a lot of funny looks, but I got a lot of funny looks for my fecking massive bag as well.

I left a folder in the x-terminal rooms for two days. I didn't realise it was gone. As I said, not really with it these days. I hear there was a time when I was only a bit of an air-head, rather then the complete and utter cloud-for-brains bimbo I am at the moment. Minus the blonde hair.

I've been working on a quick comic with Ashen lately during lectures. One more page to go. I know I should be TBEing - and I will go back to it, I do promise... well, myself I guess. I know no-one else really cares - I expect most people who even know about it are just sort of knodding and going 'Yes Washi, watever you say now'.

I want a hug -_- Bah.

My lyrics file has reached 418 pages.



"And they wonder sometimes when they see all the sadness and pain the truth brings to light "
~Sarah McLachlan, Black

?It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much -- the wheel, New York, wars and so on -- whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man -- for precisely the same reasons. ?

Pause to Think
Wow. Jcreator is really cool. I should concider using it to write up html. I mean, once you get past it's habit of making things like plus signs bright red, and things in quotation marks grey, it's pretty cool. It involves a lot less windows then notepad.

Too bad I don't have it at home.

This tutorial was spectacularly short. But I worked something out, so... all is good in the land of Washiton, ja?

My brother picked me up from Uni today. It was a really surreal moment. My younger brother is now driving, independantly. He has his own car. And he's picking ME up from UNI.

My cognitive functions have... malfunctioned.

Ooo! I took a test on Catalyst today to see how fast my brain switches between the left hemmisphere and the right hemmisphere. My pencil broke in the middle of the test, but I still managed to record 11 switches, give or take a switch. Average is 6, mathematicians and highly logical professions have less switches, dancers, musicians etcetera have more switches. Bi-polar and monks have the fewest switches, for diferent reasons.

When they get it up, you can take the test yourself at The Catalyst Website. 'S good fun, give it a go when they get it up there (They haven't yet because the show was only on 2 hours ago)

In any case, it was a facinating segment, put forwards a lot of interesting ideas about the way the brain functions. Which in my case is 'not very well', but hey... I wonder if ADHD people switch the highest of all...

Anyway, enough of this train of thought. I desire to beat my head in with a large piece of wood.

FUCK OFF YOU FUCKING POPUPS!!!! AAAARRRRGGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Later.

To those itching to point it out - yes, he knows what that implys and no, He doesn't mind being refered to that way. It kinda fits him, in a way...

Saturday - Let's go into saturday a little. Normaly I'd be able to sleep on saturday, but lately I've been ill able to sleep well - my bed is extremely comfortable, don't get me wrong, but it seems to swallow me whole. I sleep, and I have trouble waking up from it. But I also have trouble getting to sleep inthe first place, due to my annoying tendancy to spend the first part of the night whimpering and jerking around like some deranged robotic cat-toy. And besides all this - I'd arranged to meet a friend at 11 for lunch.

On my way there I met... Another friend! This one I'd not seen since high-school. So we spoke very briefly, I relayed my email address whihc she has probably forgotten, and I moved on my way. Met up with Zoe, didn't go out but still... had a meal and all. Then headed off to the city - and who should be on my bus? Another person I knew from highschool! Not quite the same way - He was more interested in my tennor saxophone, but he has this wierd ability to remember EVERYTHING.

And then I hooked up with my Ri-chan, napped, went to benighted, and was by and large zoned out from two onwards.

Sunday was a sleep in, followerd by some strugling with the computer and forgetting to do most of the stuff I was supposed to because of DNAngel. Bah.

I've had a colaboration proposition. I really want to find out more about it - it looks like it could be really great, fun to work with, and it sounds like a really interesting story... I just hope I can do the darker scenes reasonably well. But still, it may still ammount to aught, so... we shalt see.

Gotta head off now. Bai.

More things I've learnt in my short and spectacularly uninteresting life...
Too many people today have a strange interest in monkeys.
Always look directly at the shape you thought was a spider before you jump - just to make sure.
But more importantly, be careful when ducking back when checking to see a spider at eye-level.
Dates in a callendar may appear closer then they are. Usually, however, they don't.
When all else fails, settle for reading the transcripts.
Lecturers with thick accents are extremely dificult for someone as slow as I to understand.
So why do I have them?
All that glitters is probably fake.
Beauty has little to do with cost. not nothing, just little.
No man is quite sane in the darkness.
Sad Songs Say So Much.
Fary tales are briliant sources of bloody, yet oddly emotionless inspiration.
The lust for blood is in the nature of man.
Being fast can fix a lot of problems.
Some things must be experienced to understand.
Some things shouldn't be experienced, even if it means not understanding.
Height is a sign of superiority among our kind. It's part of what drove us to build sky scrapers.
Size does matter, but bigger doesn't equal better. Take mobile phones, or tablets.
Vanity is a witch's curse.
Stupidity is the curse of my kind.
There are two emotions - fear and hapiness, that are mixed to varying degrees to form all other emotions.
Joy is not the ideal - contemtment is far more sustainable.
Contact is important to all social creatures.
Ribbon is the strongest armor known to man.
Two words to strike fear into the minds of realists everywhere - Organized Religion.
The attraction of the rebel is undenyable - but only if the mind of the rebbel swims in the same river as your own mind. He speaks what you would, were you not so chained.
Mmm... chains...
Dairy producs are cows gifts to humanity. No creature is more worthy of our worship and adoration.
A wasted youth is better by far then a wise and productive old age.
Each person is the center of their own personal universe, wih unique paterns and inhabitants.
If you cannot find it in yourself, you'll never find it externally. All that exists in your universe is contained within yourself.
Forgiveness is the start of mending, but most people have dificulty threading the needle.
The mind has the ability to change with the wind, a constantly swirling and expanding star of ideas and concepts.
The night sky above has a lot in comon with the workld below it. Perhaps that's why we see ourselves, our futures, our guidence and our hopes in the stars.
Not all that you want to say should be said.
