It's always awkward when someone finds out there are slash fics written about them

So I just watched Charlieissocoollike's recent video about what people post about him on tumblr (and fanfiction) and it's hilarious. I never thought about what he would say when he saw all the weird stuff people make...hmm anyway, that video can be found here. It's so funny. I cried a little after watching.

So to people that don't know what I'm talking about:
First of all: Slash - gay/lesbian fanfiction that has no story line other than the main characters banging all the time.
Charlieissocoollike - nerdy (attractive) guy on youtube that likes doctor who and says humorous things.

On Tumblr, people post a lot of photos and gifs of Charlie. It's crazy and weird and closely resembles my obsession with Robert Pattinson and fanfiction. Straight up: it's a little creepy.

Here he is (he doesn't normally look like this, I just thought it was funny)

I don't know how he didn't know about this going on.

Welp, back to my fanfiction then.

Book fairs are surprisingly quiet places

I went to a book fair today (I know) and it was awesome. It wasn't a book fair like "OMG books are awesome, let's talk about it!" kind of thing, it was more heaps of second hand books for sale. Heaps.

I bought a bunch of cook books, mainly because I'm really bad at picking books in general and it wasn't in genres, just labelled fiction, classics, sci-fi (because that's not fiction, obviously), reference, etc. and that made it hard to find what I wanted...although I don't know if I could have found sci-fi romance anyway...Damn you Twilight, making me read weird things.

So I bought a bunch of books and now I'm content.

I'm going to attempt to make something from one of the cook books tonight. Exciting.

Fun with paper and not-so-much origami!

I made a paper crane and a box. These are the sorts of things I do when I'm bored.

The crane is full on origami, the box, not so much. I watched a youtube video on making a water balloon and when the guy started doing folds that, I think, could be made so much easier by just gluing the shite out of it, so I made the balloon into a Chinese take out box, with glue.
Photies!

And there's my glue in the background

That shouldn't be called charcoal. That's not charcoal, why would you call it charcoal?

I don't like when clothing companies call something charcoal when it's actually just grey. Charcoal isn't anything like grey, I suppose you could make some sort of grey with charcoal, but that still shouldn't be called charcoal.

Why. Why. Why, would anyone think grey is charcoal, have you never made a charcoal drawing? You're just making it confusing for me, the online buyer. Charcoal and black are very similar, yet you have a photo of a pair of grey tights and a pair of black tights. Are the black tights actually black tights or are they the charcoal ones? It could be either!

All I want is some grey tights, why do you make it so difficult?

Spiders and other bug-like creatures

I'm wondering what would happen if all the bugs in the world died, except for spiders. Would the spiders

A)All starve to death
B)Eat each other until there was only one spider left and then that one would die
C)Evolve to be big enough to eat humans or just eat us gradually whilst we sleep

I do not know.

I was just thinking about how sometimes I wish all the insects would become non-existent because they piss me off, except spiders, because one, that would be pretty interesting and two, I am after all the Spider Queen and they are my minions. Although I haven't seen many spiders in my house lately...hopefully they haven't chosen a new Spider King or Queen

Blaah! I feel like there are bugs on me!

Nope, not an addict going cold turkey, just a paranoid teenager.

There are bugs on my couch. Recently we got a few bags of chicken feed (which we plan to feed to feed to our chickens), the chicken food has these little freaky bugs in them and we keep the food in the garage so these bugs have some how migrated to the house and are now living in our couch. I can no longer sit on the couch and be comfortable. Because there are freaking bugs on there! They don't even bite, they're just creepy and gross. I don't know what to do.

I keep like rubbing my hands over my legs and arms, checking for these critters and it's making me extremely paranoid. Blugh.

What am I to do?

And another thing!

Yep, still talking about school laptops...

If we can use laptops then can we use ipods? I have a feeling it will make teachers a lot more lenient when it comes to electronics. I hope.

Because really we could just upload all our music onto the laptops and listen to that...but that's time consuming (somewhat) and laptops are a lot bulkier than ipods...

Look, I drew a pretty picture for you. (I don't know why it's orange...)

P.S. I now have a drawings blog, so if you like my strange drawings then you may like to go here

How could that possibly be a good idea?

So our secondary school is getting laptops from...government (I don't know). And I wonder what my principal was thinking when she decided to get us laptops. Probably something like "It'll be good for the students education" Or that other school have them so we should have them too...

The thing is, we have access to the school wifi and we have laptops. These laptops, they are able to use internet explorer. I'm not sure if you're following. They've given us a much easier way to stuff around during school time. Rather than use our phones at lunch to go on the ol' interwebs, we get laptops...because, obviously, we're respectable students that never stuff around ever.
We have internets.
Shenanigans ensue.

Last year the grade elevens and twelves had laptops and during homeroom (Also know as "Reading Time") they would do "work" on said laptops. How could they possibly working when they had such a fantastic opportunity?

I can't wait until school now, I am going to read so much fanfiction.

The elusive Scarfish

I have found what a Scarfish would look like if it were actually a real fish and not just a figment of my imagination.

Tada! Scary mothertrucker.

I would not be too happy to see this in the water, let me tell you what.

So anyway, I went to the Shinagawa Aquarium today, it was friggin' awesome. I love aquariums.

I took a bajillion photos because I'm crazy and find joy in looking at all the photos of fish and remembering the day and being like "There were so many fish!" and being happy because fish are great.

It was mainly funny because there were heaps of Australian fish and people were like "Sugoi!" which means weird or scary or something like that. It was humorous.

There was a testing thing saying how much electricity the electric eels were giving off and my Dad (like a boss) tapped his hand on the glass and every time the eels would be like "What the truck?!" and give off a bunch of electricity. And then (here comes the more interesting part) he waited until an eel got close to the glass and smashed his hand in it's facial area. The eel did not like that... Check it.

Usual type of voltage when glass was tapped.

After freaking it out really hard.

I promise you it's not edited, I'm not that skilled.

Sea Shapers - worse than Green Peace

According to our tepenyaki chef, Hiroshi (He gave us his business card because we're buds!), "Sea Shapers" are like Green Peace, but worse. It took us quite a while to figure out that he meant Sea Shepherds and when we did it was hilarious. At one point at dinner I yelled out "Chicken!" because we were talking about Japanese words that come from English words (Steki - steak, chikin - chicken, biru - beer). Hahah, I'm such a weirdo.

So we're still in Japan, it's still awesome, we went to dinner last night at a tepenyaki place and had the best chef EVER. His name was Hiroshi and he was hilarious. We talked about the "fancy toilets" in Japan and Hiroshi said "Yes, fancy toilets". I laughed so hard. My Dad had prawn and it was truly horrific. The prawn was alive up until it was cooked. Horrible. But after that it was good! Me and my onisan (older brother) had crab and Hiroshi cooked it in the most delicious way. He piled a bunch of sea salt out on the grill, flattened it a bit, poured some water over it until the water was boiling on the salt and then put the crab legs on top of that and covered it. Its was friggin' amazing. I feel like he didn't get how deliciouso it truly was and how much we enjoyed it. Oh well.

I'm gonna go see if my bro and Pa are up yet so we can go explorin'

Oh my god, mittens!

I'm in Japan, bitches. And it's awesome. And it's cold. And it's more fantastic than I can out into words. It's also hilarious.

I bought fingerless gloves (damn phone doesn't understand the concept of gloved fingers) and I thought they had like a decorative pocket or something weird like that on the back, turns out they turn into mittens! How amazing and awesome is that? I was like "that's frikkin' awesome!" so now I have mittens and they're great.

I cajoled my brother and Pa into going to "Family Mart" which is pretty much a Japanese 7/11, except japanese business hours are really weird so its probably more like 7/20 or something. Anyway! We went to Family Mart and I got all sorts of weird food/drink. I got mango juice with milk, I believe it was called "Milk Mango" and I cant wait to try it, I also got a variety of chocolate things. Excited.

We went to Ginza in Tokyo, which is like a shopping district and I bought a coat because, like an idiot, I didn't realise exactly how cold it would be in Japan we also went to H & M and they had an insanely awesome sale, I bought a shirt for ¥700! (¥700 is closeish to $8 AUS)

We caught a train! I haven't caught a train in, like, friggin' ages, you guys. It was awesome.

No one wears colours here. The most colourful thing I've seen was blue scarf surrounded by black. Black coats, black pants, black shoes. It's all very depressing, but also stylish.

Well, that's all I had to say, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to drink a ridiculously expensive coke and put on my awesome gloves.

Fruit Ninja makes me feel like wolverine

I got a bunch of free apps for my ipad yesterday and I've become addicted to Fruit Ninja, so much so that I bought the full version. It's freaking awesome; and it makes me feel like wolverine because you can use like all your fingers to cut fruit up, like three fingers in a row is so like wolverine. Makes me feel like a mutant.

And Cut The Rope, I freakin' love Cut The Rope. That little froggish thing that loves candy. Awesome. I had to get the full version of that too, but after that I had spent all of my itunes monies (as I don't know how to connect my online banking with itunes, so I buy $20 gift cards. Sadness)

And Death Worm which was free for a day or something...I don't know. I haven't actually played it, I just like the name.

Ahhh!! Why are people so stupid?!

So I'm going all crazy with packing for Japan and checking with all the rules and stuff because I'm insane and all, and I was checking if you can bring panadol, etc. on the plane in carry on luggage and if it needs to be in its packaging and what not and so I'm scrolling through stuff you can and cannot bring on the plane and I read "Common lighters are permitted in carry-on baggage" and I'm like "What?! That's freaking ridiculous, what would you need a lighter on a plane for anyway, other than to flamethrower people?". So you're allowed to bring a mini deodorant and a lighter, but not nail clippers.

This is so stupid.

Rrrrgh. People annoy me so much.

And if you want to bring gel lipbalm it has to be under 100ml and in the 1-quart bag you have to put all your liquids, gels, creams, etc. What about chapstick kind of lipbalm? Is that solid enough? Could I kill someone with that? I don't freakin' know!

And I'm trying to figure out if I can bring green tea back from Japan, but it's really difficult to find out. It's plant matter, so that's bad, right? But it's freaking tea, so surely it's harmless and it's packaged and it would be in my checked luggage anyway.

Grrgh. I'm gonna go put all my liquids in a 1-quart bag.

So many options!

My dinner options for the night are: soup, pretzels, m&ms, popcorn, some sort of soup, pretzels, m&ms and popcorn concoction or be lazy and order pizza. Which shall I choose?! I'll probably end up with the m&ms as they're delicious and pizza is still too labouring for me. I mean, you have to open up the pizza website on my laptop, which one will I choose? Eagle boys, pizza hut, HELL? HELL is the best, but their website is often down and I dislike the telephone. And after I've picked a pizza place, I have to place my order and wait. I hate waiting, because when waiting for the pizza guy I usually have to put on actual clothes and not just pajamas. (Macbook think pagamas is spelt "pygamas", I've spelt pagamas like 'pagamas' since I was little and I ain't about to change my ways!)

I don't know what to do now. M&ms aren't a very good dinner and pizza is too difficult. What to do?

I think I'll just sit in my room being hungry until I make a decision.

Lazy post!

Well, I don't like to think of it as lazy...I'll most likely end up writing something really long about spiders, as I often do, and then it won't be lazy, it'll just be uninteresting or creepy. Or hopefully hilarious.

I have indeed. An octopus is really the best way to describe it.

Those furbie things as so freaking' creepy, a knife just goes with a furbie, it's not even suprising. It's just...there.

I chortled

So true, I always lose pens that way...although I give up very quickly...

I need a new iphone case. I want this one. It's amazing, sharks are awesome, amazing. I must find out where I can purchase this from.

As promised,
Talking about spiders:

So here's an update on the spider in my bathtub situation, I got back from my holiday, bathroom door still closed, gargantuan spider gone. Happy times. I haven't seen many spiders in my bathroom for a while, I think it's because it keeps raining, but you'd think the spiders would be more inclined to hide out in my bathroom whilst it's all horrible and wet...hmm.
Now I'm trying to remember the last time I saw a spider in my room/anywhere near me that wasn't outside and I think the last one was the huge spider in my tub...strange. Maybe it went back to it's spider friends and told them about how I didn't help it, probably convinced them all that I'm racist to certain types of spiders...really I'm just favouring daddy long legs-es because they're not all that scary and can't, like, kill me.

See, I talked about spiders and it was very strange.

See ya laters, probably while I'm in Ja-freaking-pan. So excited.

What are you staring at?!

Women are very angry creatures. I'm not sure what their problem is, but women today kept glaring at me...I was wearing heels, I guess, but is that really something to glare about? Or are they just jealous of my amazing grace, balance and overall lack of clumsiness (sarcasm). I don't know what's going on.

A man leered at me today. Like, full on, staring directly into my eyes with a creepy grin on his face. It was freakin' weird. What is with people today? And why are they such creepers?

Why you no work?!

Still waiting for the next Vampire Diaries episode. Gotta wait until the freakin' 27th for unknown reasons. Argh, why, Vampire Diaries? Why? Why you make me sad?

Oh well, going to Japan on Monday!!

Favourite bands/songs/albums of 2010

They'll probably be from recently my favourite to older favourites...just because thats how my mind works.

1. Ball Park Music, specifically the album Rolling on the Floor, Laughing Ourselves to Sleep and the songs Black skies, Walk right out and iFly (from Conquer the Town, Easy as Cake)
2. The shape of love by Passenger and Boy & Bear
3. Boy & Bear, pretty much all songs, but especially Mexican mavis
4. Kate Miller-Heidke, of course. I really love her cover of Slim Shady. Freakin' awesome. But I also love all her albums.
5. Florence + the Machine, all of it
6. Machine Translations, Laboratory is pretty sweet, but, again, love it all.
7. Band of Horses, Weed party, but also all of it
8. Edward Sharpe and the Magic Numbers, Home is the best to play Red Dead Redemption to.
9. Newton Faulkner
10. The Strokes, and the song Reptillia. If anyone doesn't particularly like The Stroke, I strongly suggest watching BoomBox off SNL, hilarious and a little gross, but so worth it, Julian Casablancas is a boss.
11. Angus and Jules (Angus and Julia Stone), how I love them so, I saw them
12. I really like the Eclipse soundtrack
13. Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra
14 Of course, Queen, Somebody to love, Bohemian freakin' rhapsody, Don't stop me now, all that good stuff.

Tada, favourite musak of the year, who's excited for the new year?

Yeah, me either...

UPDATEY:
15. Nearly forgot! The Panics, Creaks, Don't fight it, all of it, but those are my favourites.

Damn you, pie, DAMN YOU!

I just baked my first pie, yes that's right, I've never had pie, except meat pie as I am Australian and that would be like...illegal or something.

So here I am, excited 15 year old, avidly awaiting her first apple pie. The timer goes, I take the pie out of the oven and go to the freezer to get the ice cream (I figured I'd go for the whole experience). I come back, take my mini pie and start my journey to the plate (right next to the baking tray). Suddenly the tin slips from my hands, my knife foes flying through the air as I leap to catch my delicious treat. But I'm too late, the pie is crushed, the ice cream is starting to melt, the tin is sitting innocently upside down on the floor.

My first suspect was the knife, lying in my hands in a way that the pie would surely fall, deliberate? I think so, he's my number one suspect.

I surveyed the crime seen, the tin still innocently watching from upside down, the ice cream had nothing to say, "freak accident," he said, "it was nobodies fault," he said, but it was all just a part of a clever ruse.

Little did I know, it was the tin after all. DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN!

Ice cream and the tin had been working hand in hand for months, slowly but surely destroying all pre made baked goods and thoroughly disappointing the busy people of today that don't have time for elaborate baking.

The replacement pie had begun to bake, the new tin looked suspicious. Well, YOU SHALL NOT DENY ME AGAIN, Tin. Never again.

Wooh! New years bonfire!

So I went over to my Best Friend Fo' Life!'s house for a new years bonfire last night with fam' and her brother's friends. It was fun. We drank champagne at midnight, there was fire, apparently there was an effigy dressed in our school uniform, but I got there too late to see that, there was also a lot of mud and a shortage of chairs.

Didn't take any pictures unfortunately, but I'll describe the main points in detail for my avid readers.

Will, Kate's brother's friend, broke a chair, but we made him think he had broken two.

Jacob, see above, brought some really cheap vodka, which I did not partake in thank you very much, and everyone made a digested face when they drank it.

Me and Kate talked about vampires.

We actually left the outdoors at 2am and went to sleep at 5:30am or possibly later. We spent those three and a half hours watching George Clooney be Jedi, The Lion King, and talking about super powers, which then led to talking about Misfits, Alec is now my new favourite person because he talked about Aleisha's power when we were discussing powers and I was like "You watch Misfits!" and then we spent like half an hour just quoting Misfits and laughing.

We decided that Super Spooning is the best superpower, but lactokenesis is also pretty awesome, and also really stupid. Super Spoon is someone who can spoon ANYONE, ANYTIME, and they wouldn't even know it because they're. Just. That. Good. Not the most useful of powers, but it would be very amusing.

There were these two girls, one was absolutely shit-faced, the other was more sober, but definitely not considered sober. They kept whispering to each other, giggling, and then five minutes later they'd be calling each other bitches or sluts, it was hilarious.

I slept until 7:30am, went back to sleep, woke up again at 8:30am and used my cat-ninga like stealthilyness to retrieve my bag from behind a sleeping guy, it was wicked awesome, you guys. He didn't even stir. I'm. Just. That. Good.
