Half A Week in the Life

And so the first half week of the holidays ends. Four sleeps until Chrissy and I can feel the electricity in the air. Mostly due to that faulty power outlet. Hehe.

I'm so funny.

What? What? Oh, right. Blog. *ahem*

So yeah.
During this week, I have learnt 2 valuable lessons. I shall list and explain them here for everyones benefit.

1) Some people just can't get along

It's true. Never have, never will. My lovely teachers of this subject were my ever-warring younger brothers, who seriously do not give anyone a minutes peace from the moment they roll out of bed in the mroning to the moment they fall asleep at night. Which leads me to number...

2) Never, and I mean NEVER, sit in the back middle seat on a car-trip of any length

Again, my lovely brothers taught me this lesson. The only seat left was back-middle, and I was therefore put snugly between the two. Who then proceeded to make my trip to Medowie utter hell. My one-year-old cousin was puzzled as to why I wasn't as happy as everyone else. Well, Noah, someday when you read this, you'll understand.

Take heed, younglings and padawans. use this knowledge and you too will someday become a sage such as I. Anywho, that's about all I jhave to say so catcha round, I guess.

Un-Singularity

Well hey there, everybody, how ya doin'? Good? Good. Thanks for coming out!

Main point of this here post is to tell you all the following:

I am no longer not without not being single!

If you can figure that out, and don't already know what I'm saying, YOU WIN! Of course, since everyone reading this already knows, nobody wins. Don't you all just feel so sad now?

This post is kinda lacking good materila. Um. Stuff about the leadership day and stuff got covered by everyone else already, and to be quite honest i really pretty boring to talk about.Umm...I already did the whole got a girlfriend bit. Got no terrible jokes to tell right at the mo. Nope, I got nothin. Ah well.

I guess I'll just talk about the importance of jumping, shouting "Cthulhu" and hailing the Almighty Bob.

That and knowing the difference between rock and rap. That's all important, as I think we all know. For the record rock is better. If you think otherwise, I hate to tell you but you're wrong.


Anywho, I've not got alot left to say. Pretty good assonancer there, eh?

So I guess it's

Ciao for now,

Chrissyboi

Happy B'Day Ness!

So, it was the Loch Ness Monster's birthday party today, and it was pretty fun indeed. Go-karting, for the first time ever, was pretty cool. I was drifting around corners and all. But Jake, drive faster.

Then the beach, got absolutely smashed by waves, which was fun. Dwyer, I tried to learn to bodysurf, but I guess I'm not that quick a study. And I don't go to the beach much, either.

Finally, I had 2 discussions about no lifing and flirting, which led to this little tidbit from Aaron (Not McGowan, a different one)

Aaron: talkies
Me: What about?
Aaron: anything i have no life

Chris: And you think I do?
Aaron: lets have a life together
hmm that sounded weird

Tarocash

So I spent $170 on formal gear today.

One-hundred and seventy freakin' dollars. I'll look dashing, sure. It's a good outfit. But still. Pricey for a shirt/vest combo.

In other news, Emily seems to think she hates me. Right. Sure.

Apart from this, I have not a lot to say.

Ciao,

Kristov

Noncommital

Just now, in simultaneous MSN conversations, I demonstrated the frustration abilities of simply deferring to answer. It was most amusing, here's a transcript.

Excerpt from Conversation 1:

<8:19PM>Josef : know what? i'm changing my status

<8:19PM>Chris : Mmkay.

(Josef changes his status to read "12 Days Remaining, Chris")

<8:19PM>Chris : Til?

<8:19PM>Josef : see that?

<8:20PM>Josef : no, you have to ask someone out in that time

<8:20PM>Chris : Mmkay.

<8:20PM>Josef : so, you will?

<8:23PM>Josef : ???

<8:25PM>Chris : ...

<8:25PM>Chris : Maybe.

<8:25PM>Josef : *disapproving stare* most likely?

<8:27PM>Chris : Maybe.

<8:27PM>Josef : yes/no?

<8:27PM>Chris : Maybe.

<8:28PM>Josef : grrrr!

End Excerpt

So you see, in the space of 9 short minutes, Josef was reduced to the point of "Grrrr!"

Excerpt from Conversation 2

<8:17PM>Geoff : CHRIS

<8:17PM>Geoff : WHERE THE F--K WERE YOU

<8:17PM>Chris : Uhh, not at school?

<8:22PM>Geoff : i know

<8:22PM>Geoff : WHY NOT

<8:25PM>Chris : Because I was at home.

<8:25PM>Geoff : WHY

<8:27PM>Chris : Because I wasn't at school.

<8:27PM>Geoff : Chris

End Excerpt

This time 10 minutes were required and it seems that 9 minutes may be the physical threshold for this form of breaking people. I will do more study and get back to you.

Kodak Moment

So, I was walking home from school last Friday, thinking about going to the Jets later on, and looking dubiously at the sky and the encroaching storm front. As I looked at the sky to my left, there were roiling, brooding black clouds, seething in the sky. As I looked above me, there was a stark division between dark clouds and spring-blue skies. In the sky on my right, apparently oblivious to the inclement weather, a hang-glider and pilot were just floating around in the big old blue, as happy as could be. A stark contrast. A Kodak Moment, if you want.

As I have mentioned previously, I often engage in little debate and ponderings with myself on the walk home from school. There are many things to think about in this world. What I think about varies from things as human and personal as love, emotion and the human condition, to things as stark and impersonal as particle physics, quarks and photons. Mostly, though, I think about myself. One of my favourite things to think about, is this:

If a passer-by in the street could take a snapshot of me, not just what I look like, but my thoughts, memories and feelings, what would they think? Kodak Moment.

Now, before you all get on about how Chrissy's getting all insecure and emo, I want to say that I'm not going weird on you. It's a good thing. It puts everything into perspective, and helps you de-stress. I would recommend this spot of psycho-exercise to anyone in a moment of boredom and reflectiveness.

Anywho, see you all round.

Chrissyboi.

I love Wired!

I suppose I'll kick things off with a little bit of news I discovered from Wired.com. Scientists researching into causes of cancer, etc. have found a protein called telomerase. There are little segments of your DNA called telomeres, which control how many times a cell can divide. Telomerase intereferes with these telomeres and by doing so, causes them to divide out of control. We know this out of control division of cells as "Cancer." However, having discovered this protein, scientists are working on methods that can potentially prevent and cure cancer. Being able to identify telomerase allows scientists to produce proteins which will destroy it. As well as this, scientists hope that, in time, a vaccination will be produced which will make the immune system attack telomerase-producin cells, effectively vaccinatiing against cancer. Pretty neat, huh?

However, in other, unrelated news, my birthday was prety fun. I'm only really blogging about it because a certain someone told me to, but here it is. It was quite fun having a birthday party, even though it took half an hour to open Ness' preset. But the wrapping paper was very tough. It was! Singstar was fun, as was playing pool and table tennis. Thankyou all for your wonderful pressies, I finished one ofthose blocks of chocolate in one night, much to Mum's dismayed surprise. "You'll make yourself sick!" she says. Yeah. Right.

Catch you on the flip-side!
