That thing's gonna disintegrate in about five seconds, so you'd better drop it or you'll be charged.
Today, I have three things to say.
1. Calculus class is interesting these days. (^_^)
We always have amusing moments. Like today:
T: I've decided to lower my aims today.
R: Good thinking.
T: Have you finished the first question, Kate?
K: No... sorry.
T: Yes, I was alerted by the closed book.
H: She's on to you Kate!
T: And so, you can see the derivative of sinx is...
R: cosx! How Exciting.
T: Well that was a bit cheeky.
R: No, I meant it. It was the hightlight of my day.
T: I know it was.
2. I went to a 123 dollar shop today. Two dollar shops are so interesting. Like garage sales, but permanent, and the items are all in order and in relatively good condition.
Okay so maybe not like a garage sale. Actually, I've never been to a garage sale, that's just what I assume it would be like.
Anyway, there were all these little gift boxes with messages like, "Love often comes out of friendship, but love is never in friendship."
I don't get it.
After we left, my mum said, "How can a 2 dollar shop make money?" And we were speculating about it. Like, if you think about it, even if they have lots of customers, which they don't, each item only sells for two dollars.
Therefore,
a) the cost price of their goods is next to nothing
b) rent is really cheap for them
c) both
d) something else which actually makes sense.
Any ideas on d), anyone?
3. Liar Game is addictive. Read it.
I like it. (^_^)
Chapter 63 and/or Roots of A plox~
I googled it, to see if it was being translated any faster than the site where I read it off. Results were quite amusing - there are several sites that go on about whether or not Akiyama x Nao (the two main protaganists) will get together, because of the fact that Akiyama occasionally says things like,
"You mistake me... I'm just another one of Kanzaki Nao's belongings" and
"Didn't I promise!? ...I'll keep you safe. Just trust in me."
Funny how everyone looks for the romance in everything. Seriously. So many misunderstandings because of it. And weird dinner conversations at Kahu... XD

Thought
She picked up a twig and set it on fire, a little tree of flame. She later had to drop it before it burnt her.
(For Laina) Have you heard of the twelve Labours of Hercules? He had to kill the Nemean lion and the Hydra and catch Diana's deer etc etc as a punishment for going insane and killing his wife. Something along those lines.
I went to the SPCA yesterday. Managed to get through the whole shift without a mistake~ whoo
But it occurred to me, you know how extroverted people are naturally more likeable? Yeah well, extroverted cats are more likely to get adopted. See, when people come in, they have an idea about the age of the cat they want, and... that's about it. (Except that some of the little kids like a particular colour.) So, a lot of them narrow it down by, "Let's walk around and see if any of them come up to us."
Yesterday, there was this big grey-and-white cat called Thirteen. Poor guy was so shy, he hid behind his litter tray staring at everyone, not eating his food. So no one really took a second glance at him. He was real cute, but cuteness just doesn't come into it when there are 6-week-old kittens two doors down.
Incidentally, I only got 30% for extraversion on the Facebook personality thing. Apparently I sometimes tire of people. I don't really agree - I usually only tire of strangers. lol.

Yoink
"I saw the Sun rise!"
"I saw the Moon fall!"
And they smiled, knowing they had just seen a little of the other's magic.
1. Would you do meth if it was legalized?
No.
2. Abortion: for or against?
For, because as always there will be cases where it makes more sense to have the baby aborted, and anyway people should be able to make their own choices.
3. Would the country fall if there was a woman president?
We don't have presidents. I do believe that the sky didn't fall while we had Helen Clark though. As for America etc, it would depend on the woman.
4. Do you believe in the death penalty?
Sometimes I think I do, for the people that just have no hope of becoming 'good', good meaning 'no longer having the desire to murder other people'. But what about the people that feel bad, but don't regret killing that person, or other grey-area cases? Is there some kind of line - murder more than five people and then you die? It's so difficult to make clear decisions.. and death is irreversible. So I say no. Humans are too incompetent to take death into their own hands.
5. Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
Smoking marijuana? No. What idiot invented smoking marijuana?? If it weren't for him/her, people would be able to use/eat it for its medicinal purposes and nutritional value.
6. Do you believe in God?
I don't know. Every assembly, I decide to decide, but... yeah. Haven't figured it out yet.
7. Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?
I suppose so. I know you guys are all real liberal about it, but I don't have a strong opinion. Basically, I agree that same sex couples are completely fine, so then marriage would be the logical next step.
8. Do you think its wrong that so many Hispanics are moving to the USA?
No, there's nothing wrong with Hispanics as far as I know.
9. A 12 year old girl has a baby… should she keep it?
If she's in a situation where she can take care of it, and if she can stand the critisism, then sure, if she wants.
10. Should the alcohol drinking age be lowered to 18?
The buying age is already 18.
11. Should the war in Iraq be called off
Yes. World peace and all that, wotwot.
12. Assisted suicide is illegal… do you agree
Well like Laina said, euthanasia is legal. But then a dog's life is generally considered by both the society and the law to be worth less than a human's.
(Anyway, why can't people commit suicide by themselves?)
I say it's legal, because turning off life support is assisted suicide, and if a non-braindead person wants to commit suicide then they're obviously also in a terrible state of mental/physical health, so the only difference between them and the people on life support is that they chose for themselves. And choice is good.
13. Do you believe in spanking your children?
If necessary.
14. Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
Yes, if I wouldn't have a lot of hostile people with pitchforks outside my gate the next day.
15. A mother is declared innocent after murdering her 5 children in a temporary insanity case… what do you think?
How do we know she was actually insane? Hercules got punished. She should be too.
16. Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
Not afraid, but of course people are going to judge. We form judgements all the time, subconsciously.

Irrelevance
It was as if time stood still, or even that this place existed outside of time itself; she knew she had a pressing errand, but all urgency had ceased.
Time's a funny perception. We rely on it so much.
I finished calc internal, chem test and duathlon today so I'm in a really nothing sort of mood. Can't be bothered reading about Roman entertainment. We get six credits for this Latin internal. I should probably put more effort in.
I'll do it later.
lol at least we don't have to keep translating "The Millionaire's Dinner Party." It's a Latin novel, and it's kind of like anime theme songs - gramatically, it's correct, but it's pretty senseless.
"A day is nothing. When you are walking around it is night. And so it is best to go from bed to dinner. And we had fierce cold weather. The bath scarcely warmed me up. A hot drink is as good as an overcoat. I had too much to drink and the wine went to my head."

Observations
You know what I noticed today?
A house.
On the way home from school.
you wait for this train of thought to become intelligent
The thing is, I'd never seen this house before. And I have walked the same way home from school nearly every school day for two years. In mitigation, it was down a driveway, about 10 m off the road, but still. Then I saw three cars in complementary shades of blue pass through the intersection and was like, "that's pretty," but because I was thinking about this, I unlocked the front door when I got home instead of realising the garage was already open and walking straight into the house.
So unobservant. At least I didn't almost walk in front of a car again.

lol~ ily Bernie (^_^)
I realised something today: I've been worrying too much about calc. Like, I thought that I should know most of the content already, and whatever stuff I didn't know I should be able to pick up easily. Obviously, being calc, that isn't the case. So I was getting really stressed, especially because of the INTERNAL which is causing me to miss some of RETREAT DAY... but yesterday I realised that calc is maths and even though maths is easier than life it's still hard.
Having said (<-- locutus XD yay latin) that, I'm gonna go study.
XD
