YAY! so.......

I've decided to come back and post on the blog again. Not much has changed since November of last year except instead of being a struggling 2nd year SE I am now a struggling 3rd year SE and I no longer wear a mullet. It has been replaced by a much more sensible (boring) haircut.

I should take this opportunity to welcome my new friends to join my nice little links section on the left there:
Note: only my absolute favourite nerds get a link from my blog (Yes, you ARE a nerd). Rees I will link you when you get yourself a blog that is NOT on myspace.

1. Plex formerly known as "that short guy" is my especially groovy tutor for digital systems. Be sure to check out his page and scroll to the bottom where it says "You have reached the end of this blog." I find such statements extremely amusing. And I also discovered that he is Totally awesome at kickboxing.

2. Nick, formerly known as "that smart guy". He hasn't exactly started blogging as yet but when he does no doubt it will be far better than anyone elses.

3. The Dr. Daniel Anstey himself, a very smart, very funny old man who I have known for quite a while now but he's just started a new blogging venture.

Oh and I know what you are thinking. WTF is with the frog and the star in this layout? I found it while browsing online and it just had to be done.

And no I will not code myself a real one of these things because I am a lazy bitch.

much love x

a quick guide to myspace.com (sorry Rees)

I'm avoiding study for exams and this is badly in need of an update so today kids, we're talking about myspace.

For those of you who will venture into the deep and dark realm of myspace.com after reading this post. you may become quite confused and disturbed by the people who lurk there. Basically, myspace is an online community where people who think they arent loved (read: emo) can talk to people online and then think they are loved. Considering that I find my real life fulfilling enough, I don't really bother with myspace except when I'm looking at random profiles for pure entertainment.
The following is a guide for myspace newbies to make it in to the big myspace world and have a lot of cool myspace friends.

1. It's all about the location
Basically, if you're an Australian on myspace, it helps if you hail from the Sunshine coast. The sunny coast seems to breed kids who think "theyre special and different from everyone else" because they wear eyeliner (guys and girls), black nailpolish and pink bracelets at the same time. These are just the kind of people who flock to myspace so they can take pictures of themself and put them online and other coastie kids can write emo comments of adoration. Ofcourse, you can still myspace if you're elsewhere in Australia, but you'll miss out on all the talk about Friday's on friday night.

2. The first step, a good myspace name
When picking your display name for myspace. A simple "Bob" or "Andrea" won't do. Basically your myspace name has to be a reflection of your bitterness within yourself and the world in one sentence. These names have to be surrounded by lots of little stars and hearts and other characters because letters aren't nearly enough when emphasising the enormity of your inner turmoil. Some good examples are (taken from real myspace profiles)
- +♥.:No TiMe To CrY:.♥
- Im terrified//////
- **Freddy tried to strangle me**
- ~disgused by surroundings~
and my favourite:
- */I wAnT tO dIe/*

3. An appropriate emo picture
Myspace is the perfect outlet to display all of your "I'm so upset with the world all I do is take pictures of myself all day" masterpieces. The picture can't be any old portrait though. Firstly, it has to obvious you're holding the camera and taking the picture yourself. Secondly, you can't look directly at the camera, and it's ideal if you have your emo fringe swept all over your face so people can't see you properly. Lastly, a good idea is to turn the photo black and white or photoshop it some other way to disguise how ugly you really are. Some good examples from myspace are below:

4. Comments

The key to collecting and keeping myspace friends is the comments you post on their spaces. Basically the comments have to have a strong feeling of "luv" in them for this is what myspace is all about. Incorrect grammar is essential, as no one wants a myspace friend who can spell or write 2 lines of text that can actually make sense. Did I mention that you have to make out as if you luv them??
examples:
-ThanX 4 th3 AdD. X666X. I like Ze picture
-<3<3<3> at midnight i will take your soul

- Whats up girl. Just dropped by 2 say hi and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Just remember 2 be safe cuz I care. If U R going 2 trick-or-treat, always get the good candy and save sum 4 me, lol, and stay out of trouble. See U later then. Luvz ya. Bye.

- Thank U 4 the love beautiful Holly girl....muahz all over U. Lovesexy 2 the max... David Angel

Once you've got all that sorted out you're ready to go and be a fair dinkum myspacer. Try not to poke yourself in the eye with that eyeliner.

ICC is the best time for shit fights

For those of you kids who have never been to an ICC (Inter-College-Council) Ball, it's basically a big ball held for everyone in college and everyone who likes to pretend they are still at college (read: my house).
At ICC, everyone is supposed to dress in their college colours, Leos is green and yellow, Emmanuel and Duch are blue, union is Red etc.

This is where the girls from The Womens College get it wrong. Their college colour is maroon, but they insist on turning up to ICC ball in Bright pink and black. Pink is not maroon, nor is it any kind of shade of maroon.
So, inspired by some little skank in a pink tutu who hurled half a cheeseburger at me during ICC ball last year, I have decided how I will spend this years Icc ball:
Throwing food (preferably with tomato sauce) at every girl in pink that I come across.

Then maybe they will learn about colours.

I miss first year

As you were all so impressed with my artistic efforts* in an earlier post, I have taken to the paintbrush once again.

As you may have gathered it is me shooting an ENGG2800 nerd with an awp after getting a little too loud for my liking in the labs.

Scurvy is NOT cool ->http://www.koczorowski.com/

Also, I have decided I am not updating this blog nearly enough, pretty much because I am finding a lack of inspiration. So if you have any questions you'd like answered or simply a stalker who would like to stalk me via msn, email me at stockup02@hotmail.com

politics shmolitics

I am not what you would call a politically minded person. In fact, I avoid political conflict whenever I can. It would be probably be described as being ignorant but having a disposition towards so-called important issues such as VSU would require me to actually care about what happens. Either way you will have to pay the Uni money, you lose.
The only political opinions I have can be summarised in the following: I don't like Johnny, I don't like Bush, and feminists are scary. Please do not attempt to start some kind of debate with me over these issues because for me to retaliate would take time and effort, both of which I don't have for politics.

Understandably then, UQ union election time has to be one of my least favourite times of the year. In the weeks leading up to the election I prefer to avoid going anywhere near the union complex at all, for fear of being attacked by an overbearing young lib or some variant of lefty freak. In fact, if I come across someone bearing the words "focus", "jolt" or "opportunity" anywhere I run for my life.

To end all this campaigning rubbish I devised a solution. Forget about the union being made up of a group of individuals from various parties. Forget the president, vice president, secretary, women's officer etc. All we need is one guy, and that guy is Timmy Brunero, Big Brother 5 runner up.

I especially support his discontent with the Howard Government and his aluminium foil under pants.

my degree is really hard, I swear

after 2 fruitful hours of csse2003 prac, I have produced this intellectual masterpiece.


yay for software engineering studio
