...there is something inside(?) my cd player that is making it sizzle intermittently and also short out every now and again whilst playing. o_o today is not that hot, right? it shouldn't be just cutting out from the heat. o_0 sounds like an insect or something is getting fried on the wires, but that shouldn't be possible? bizarre.

KAREN IS BACK ON THE SIXTEENTH HARHARHARHARHAR.
umm~

THE MENTALIST. xD; god, i LOVE cho. to PIECES. he is probably the best asian character i have everrr seen. he has the complete deadpan down, and is SO SERIOUS about things that are just so damn funny. kjhakjhawe, THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE CHO BUSINESS.
      dude: "Are you sure about that? Because with one phonecall, I can make your career toast. >:|"
      cho: "Impressive. :| The most I can get with a phonecall is pizza."

akawe and jaaane. xD xD the girlcop is all, "so, what, you think women are like toasters? >:| men have buttons, too."
      jane: "No, men are like toasters. Women are more like... accordions. :D?"
      girlcop: "... >________>"
      jane: ...? :D (i thought it was a compliment! ♥)

and i have a disgusting blister on my knuckle of all places. 8( how? what the hell, uncool.

BUT SPEAKING OF HILARIOUS QUOTES, DW5. XIAHOU DUN HAHAHA. GETS SHOT IN THE EYE WITH EYEPATCH ALREADY ON. "thanks, whoever you are! YOU'VE JUST OPENED MY EYES. >;O" AND THEN VS GUAN PING: "SHUT YOUR MOUTH, YOU STUPID KID." holy goddd, dyiiingggg~ and i also super very much love the tags they have over at capslock_koei. 8D especially, "basically an enormous testicle". but that is neither here nor there. :>

last two days have been work work eight thirty to five. *_* and then after, something! thurs, dinner with thesundaywriter and readerofasaph~ then yesterday, i had to go paint a lightning bolt on a guyfriend's face for a birthday party. o_o it ended up being on his neck and looked pretty spiff if i do say so myself. :D but anyway. weds was fabric shopping and linc intro'd us to a FABULOUS SHOP IN BRUNSWICK which is sooo cheap i cry tears of joy. THICK BROWN PLEATHER for $10/m!! there was also shiny black pleather for $8! kajkajkajkawe. i bought the brown stuff for lu xun's chaps *facepalm* BECAUSE THE STUPID METRO COWBOY CHILD WOULD HAVE CHAPS and, omg. ;A; STUFF. glee.

... :D yeah. and that hanaichi place upstairs at QV is awesome too. relatively cheap foods, which also remind me of every easy breezy beautiful takeaway bento/vending-machine-order place in japan ever. yummm~♪ in sadder news, i've lost my diary again and the $2 shop near my place has stopped stocking bandages-! D8 THEY USED TO BE $2 A BOX. now they don't exist. :( akjhwe i'll check again someothertime, but for now... D'x!!

that said, now that holidays are over, the ebay addiction is back with a vengeaaance. :D :D ←just bought some black split-toe shoes! ♥ calf length. so now i have white calf, black calf, and blue ankle~ |D D| yay...? D: the blue i have been wearing for stitch; the white was supposed to be for saburo-who-i-haven't-made-yet, and the black. um. well. >>; Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan's saito hajime? THANKS, LAIN. i just want his jackettt~ *sadface* what the hell, shinsengumi and vampires.

and today is more party party tieeem, though maybe not too much party because i am supposedly on call for tomorrow morning. 8D (we have been busy in the office because, starting a new preschool division this weekend. :O four age groups instead of three. ;| it's hard work, ok? I AM SRS.) ...tonight is painting DRAWING ALL OVER my own face. :D :D *excitement* for fantasyprone's 21st. OK GO.

[edit] oh yeah, and i think my sister left to queensland for a week or something this morning. o_o maybe. haha, well i guess if i don't see her by tomorrow night...

this~ warrants a post of its own somehow? 8D google chrome (which i have been using despite it not having everything firefox uses, because it's simply notably faster and smoother when you have a really slow connection and tiny shitty laptop /fired... NOW HAS EXTENSIONS? INCLUDING ADBLOCK? *goes click crazy* 8DD

there is also an Extention that Does Nothing.

haven't gone through most, or even a lot of them, but i am gleeeee~♪ now so long as performance doesn't slow drastically, i will be hella impressed. :3 *waits with socks half off* lalala~ 8D but i do still miss the firefox extension that allowed you to add img emoji using codewords. D: USEFUL, YO. oh. and also ljlogin. :'D oh well~

o(≧∇≦)O ☆ today is fabric shopping in the city, YAY. i am also going to hit up some op-shops beforehand in search of a white hat. that is all for now~

dear diary,
today (and the next, and the next) i spammed square-square-square-triangle on dynasty warriors 5 'til my thumbs died. ♥
why is lu xun such a sucky character? finished his musou anyway. after dying eight times on the first mission, wtfff.
started on zhou yu's and was like OMG ZHOU YU IS SO STRONNNG after lu xun.
then got stuck at red cliff. switched to zhou tai.
and then was like OMGGG ZHOU TAI IS SO STRONGGGGGGGGG-!!!! for srs!

...and then ma chao assraped me. :(

no seriously, i had just defeated zhao yun. and just got the pot that restores full health and musou.
and then,
ma chao knocked zhou tai flat on his face,
jumped on his back,
and drained his entire health bar.

(...it just instantly went purple. D: and draaained.)
((this would have been nothing impressive if it were lu xun's health bar. :'D but. zhou tai...!))

and then zhou tai was instantly defeated. i was like, wtfff-!!

...so then of course i started playing ma chao's musou. :'DD *fickle*
because i wanted to know if you could do that as a player, right? ( yare yare )

[THIS IS MADNESS! MADNESS? THIS. IS. STUPIIID.]
( that is, can anybody tell me what this godforsaken kanji is? ._. )

AH. and SATURDAY PEOPLE. 8DDD; i- well, i will be in the city at four still, but will not be heading to kath's yet because of work now. xD *death* meet you all there at maybe nine or so instead! ♥ just a heads-up fyi psa, etc. |D

not in japan anymore! at kuala lumpur airport now, leeching their 2h-only!! wifi. still alive, though already there is culture shock, lolol. of course it would be from the country i was born in, but anyway. 8'( went to the bathroom because ...i had to. the seat was giant and square, so you could use it squat-wise if you so wished. hard to take a dump on, though. and then, AUTOMATIC FLUSH FAIL. i hate those things! god, who thought it was a good idea? i don't know where the sensor was, but every time i ...deposited an article, IT WOULD FLUSH WITHIN FIVE SECONDS. it happened thrice! and then, you know how you usually wait in single file when there is a queue to the cubicles? not here—you pick a cubicle here, and wait directly outside it. like multiple cash registers at maccas. so i opened the door and came face to face with a large and displeased south-east asian woman because clearly i'd flushed three times and failed to exit. 8|;; not my fault it's hard to go on a toilet that keeps spraying your backside without notice!

i have consequently bought myself a 10-pack of kinder chocolate sticks and am eating them aaall, lol. ;3; hold me. ♥ merry christmas eve to all who care~ and have a yayday, all who don't. 8)b (on the upside, i am myself shuttling back to the family and we should all be reunited by tonight. 8] so~ that is good. even if it is here, ahaha.) back to life soooon~! wah, humid. ;_; i stink. of course, neither the plane ride nor the fact that i only washed my jeans once while in japan and had no other pants is particularly helping. but. 8D; uuoooh~!

alive! xD; ←i promised an update. so. here is an update. hn. 8D;

i have been keeping a bullet-style diary (just without the bullets) so i:ll type that up sometime when i:m not at a netcafe with japanese keyboardy kjkjhawe. :D having a terrible amount of fun trawling through mandarake (as usual) for dynasty doujinshi (of all things). bless osaka, it has been raining a lot, so that:s my excuse. 8D especially at 3~5am at which time, naturally, i happen to be outside sometimes.

really, nothing has changed except the 3-storey ￥100 store (into a hardware shop). xD; which i guess is what i like about this place. i have not been doing anything in particular but buying stupid things and breaking tech that i own and being an utter bum. ←the general course of events at home as well. :D life is good. except for the preshusss~ my broken tablet, sadface. ;3; there isn:t anything else to dooo at maccas past midnight. from the 14th, going to be in tokyo with people. ♥ from which time i will have proper internet and catch up on things. :D :D or try.

but for nowww~ i am totally going to take advantage of the fact this place is all-you-can-drink. .8DD/ BRING ON THE MELON FANTAAA. NOM.

okaaay, so. |D *blames animesque*
warriorslash/50 challenge ♥ writing for dynasty warriors. :D

( here be the prompts )

↑that was the subject of the email. xD idk, it just amused me an irrational amount.

***********************************************************************
A message from Peter Marshall - Vice President (Administration)

I am writing to advise that following an extensive evaluation process;
Monash students will be offered Google Apps for Education collaboration
services (including Google email) from November 2009. ( Read more... )

The adoption of Google email reflects the University's commitment to
using the best technology available and to continually find better
ways to facilitate quick, efficient and versatile communication and
information-sharing capabilities. (emphasis added :D)

*CRACKS UP SOME MORE* why yes i attend the sell-out uni. 8D 8D but the world can only get better if GOOGLE RUNS IT. A+, SCHOOL. A+.

...well. xD; more seriously: our email system has always been pretty crap, and most people don't even check it. (i set everything to forward to/reply from my gmail back in first year myself, and haven't logged in since. :3) so it will probably be an improvement. xD but still. ♥ lulz, google.



okay, 3:59am. 8D;; ESSAY BY 9, GO GO GO.

AH, NO, WHAT. WHY DID IT DIE KJHKJHWKHE. gaaaaaah, i swear i had a day left on it. *major fail*

...in less fail news, randomly i won a digital camera, lolol. 8D this one! sure beats my no-flash cameraphone. :D :D

erm. xD it was from this site that was doing giveaways - basically every day in september, somenody won one of these cameras. my lucky day happened to be september 10th? lol. they sent me a text-only email all, "HAI. 8D PLX SEND US UR MAILING ADDRESS <3333" which sounded suspiciously like spam, but uh. sometimes i guess underestimating the dodginess of the internet pays off(...). ahahaha. ♪

...currently, writing an "Epic" (think homer's odyssey. poetry-style) for school, erm. why i thought taking narrative practices was a good idea is beyond me. i dislike reading, am slow at it, and also having your writing torn into is not fun either. xD; also, 700 WORDS (+200 self-analysis) IS NOT ENOUGH. oh my god, Arts. this assignment is worth 20%. xD HOW. oh well. 8D; *gets back to it*

i'm going to be in japan from dec 8th - dec 24th, sort of solo pit-stopping off of a family holiday (seeing relatives 'til jan 4th, malaysia/singapore). the flights were cheap! like, $350 one-way with jetstar kind of cheap. 8DD; mostly, it's for seeing a couple of concerts at yokohama arena with some writing friends who are also going to be there. (because kis-my-ft2 are having their first solo tour! :3 yayyy~) ( details! ish. )

a couple of days ago, when i was sitting on the toilet, something bit the outside of my left bum cheek like six times. >:T it wasn't as if i was sitting there for very long! impatient creature. well, it was probably in desperation to get out (what on earth camps in a toilet anyway?). i hope my stinky mexican poo killed it. :| ←we had taco bill's for kylie's 22st birthday last sat. :D

there was also linc's 21st on fri! which was full of cosplay goodness, though i got back from work late and like, couldn't get dressed in time. xD *did a copout no-name bleach shinigami* this was after thurs, where mum ran a boot camp for the kids at church. :3 i helped out a bit, which involved amongst other things washing ice off of apples and carrying crates of bottled water up staircases.

BUMCHEEK STILL ITCHY, ARRRGH. D8<

...in any case, i have promised blanche that i will try not to let any of my dragons die henceforth. so, please forgive that. m(___)m
