Today...

Tired! Slept in the garden... my room was ovenier. Got interviewed by a policeman? #rebel

A Look Inside My Head

Have you ever wanted to know what I was thinking? Probably not. But ah well, you're going to find out anyway! This afternoon, at 5 minute intervals (courtesy of the timer on my phone), I'll make a note of EXACTLY what I'm thinking. Or at least, as close to exactly what I'm thinking as I can put into words, because unless I'm a freak I'm assuming everyone thinks moreso in emotions etc than actual coherent sentences...

ANYWAY. Let the thought log begin!

2:25 - "Grr it's not here!" (I was looking for RTE Lyric on the radio part of iTunes - Kerribbz told me they were having a soundtrack day. That sounded fun.)
2:30 - "Right, I better close this iTunes window before the timer goes off again and I'm still thinking exactly the same thing! That'd be silly - aw, darn!"
2:35 - "So I take it you're listening to RTE Lyric right now?" (I was on MSN and in the middle of typing this to Mary-Jane.)
2:40 - "I should stop biting my pen, I'd be sad if I broke the dragon off again."
2:45 - "Everyday I shop, SHOP!"
2:50 - "Hmm I need to download some more k-pop."
2:55 - "Easter egg! Nom nom nom."

3:00 - "I need to look that up!" (How to say 'Sometimes I have the urge to conquer large parts of Europe' in Latin.)
3:05 - "May Jay needs to read Cry Wolf already!"
3:10 - "Guess I shouldn't be surprised that the Catholic Encyclopedia's trying to preserve the honour of the popes."
3:15 - "Hmm, I still can't figure out whether this song sounds more Native American or Oriental or what!"
3:20 - "How the flip can you have an anti-pope?! Is that like a pope composed of antimatter??"
3:25 - "What was I going to look up a minute ago? I forget. Sigh."
3:30 - "Oww, my head hurts."
3:35 - "What IS the Treasury of Grace? Gah so screwed for Chaucer!"
3:40 - "Treasury of MERIT?! They used the wrong word in the MARKS SCHEME?!"
3:45 - "Time for a break. Glee fluff meme!"
3:50 - "Why is that one not filled, why?!"
3:55 - "Um... I'm gonna go back to Treasury of Merit. This is freaking me OUT." (transubstantiation o.O)

4:00 - "Blah, skip that song! More Two Steps From Hell!"
4:05 - "Lol Harry Potter references make everything seem more fun!"
4:10 - "This is ridiculously adorable I am totally not crying eeep so cute!"
4:15 - "Huh, is he Egyptian?"
4:20 - "Papa Rain's on the Time 100 list too? He's so cool."

And then I got bored of this and decided to do some work because that's also boring.

Two Truths and a LIE

So, has anyone heard of this one before? You have 3 statements, and one of them is FALSE! And the readers have to guess which one it is! Except I know fine well that no one's gonna guess, so this is just for fun!

ROUND ONE - Personality
- I'm a fairly good liar, but I normally pretend not to be so that I'm believed when it matters.
- I know that being more innocent than most teenagers makes me seem like an idiot sometimes, but I don't care - I would HATE to be dirty-minded.
- I would rather be as mean but assertive as I was in, say, 3rd year, than as passive as I am now.

ROUND TWO - Would you rather...
- I would rather get a tattoo than get more piercings.
- I would rather drink than try smoking.
- I would rather live near my family (ie in NI) for the rest of my life than move abroad permanently.

ROUND THREE - Books?! Aka random boring round in the middle.
- I have never started reading a book and not finished it.
- I got a dictionary for my 9th birthday.
- I have read over 10 chapters of the Bible in French.

ROUND FOUR - Scandal!
- I swear constantly when no one can hear me, but have yet to slip up and swear in front of someone by accident.
- It was Mary-Jane's description of the incestuous gay twins that made me want to watch Ouran in the first place, and they're still by far my favourite characters.
- I've had a full-blown crush on someone more than a year younger than me.

ROUND FIVE - Friends
- I'm always so cryptic because of trust issues, which due to certain people have been getting worse.
- I get attached to people easily, and hate letting any friendships die.
- I have a couple of friends I only know online, who know things about me real-life friends don't.

That's all folks! Feel free to guess away/attack me at the container party - who knows, I might even tell you some answers if you guess right... or not.

HOW TO FIND A FORMAL DRESS IN TEN EASY STEPS

1) Avoid the internet at all costs! It will lie to you, steal all your money, and then send you a size 36 dress when you wanted a size 12. You will then be drowned and suffocated under all the many layers of oversized dress that will engulf you when it arrives and then you won't be able to go to the formal at all because you'll be DEAD.

2) Find someone who can drive, catch them in a compromising position, and blackmail them into driving you to Newry/Belfast/London/Paris/New York and then paying for anything you decide to buy there. ALTERNATIVELY: learn to drive and steal Kerri's lottery winnings.

3) Actually go to Newry/Belfast/London/Paris/New York/basically anywhere that isn't Kilkeel/Annalong/the country. Because let's face it, unless Asda/the Barbican/May's starts a black market trade in formal dresses, you will have to either venture out of Mourne to find one or else wear a dress made from spare tractor parts.

4) Find some shops that sell dresses. If you're lucky, there will be some giant neon signs pointing the way, however this is unlikely so you will need to use your Passion for Fashion to guide you. If you do not possess a Passion for Fashion, you will have to rely on your Common Sense to find what you seek. If you do not possess Common Sense, then you are screwed. Sorry about that.

5) Do not, under any circumstances, show weakness to the shop assistants. They can smell your fear and will attack mercilessly using the weapons of Persuasion and Compliments! Then you will be in debt before you even get the chance to take out a student loan, how depressing!

6) Using Decisiveness, choose a dress you like. If it is designer and has many flaws and is expensive but has an awesome label, then your Passion for Fashion and your Common Sense will go to war. This will destroy you from within and will probably destroy your bank balance too. Therefore you should avoid designer dresses and you will hopefully live longer. However there is still the chance that you will get run over by a bus a few minutes later, but oh well!

7) Buy the dress you chose with Decisiveness using money. Not Monopoly money, shops don't take kindly to that. OPTIONAL: destroy your bank balance in the process.

8) Hire a slave to guard your formal dress with his life. His duties should include: stalking everyone else to make sure they don't get the same dress as you, killing anyone who tries to sabotage your dress, and making tea.

9) Return home triumphant after conquering over the trials of dress shopping. Lock the dress and slave in a secure place. Complain to your friends that you hate the dress so that the fools think they'll be better dressed than you - ha! Not likely, because your slave is ripping up their dresses as you speak, so you'll be the only one at the formal who isn't wearing rags! Smugness is appropriate at this point.

10) Have a panic attack because NOW YOU NEED TO FIND SHOES!

Lol I just discovered that I already have a "dressing up" tag! That seems appropriate. *uses*
