Signed up today. This is going to be interesting.
I like my iGoogle quotes of the day.
Why shouldn't things be largely absurd, futile, and transitory? They are so, and we are so, and they and we go very well together.
- George Santayana

We have a Wii!
I managed to convince Mum to buy one for my stepdad for his birthday (which is today). She rang me up this afternoon and our phone call(s) went something like this:
Mum: What is something geeky and computery that we can buy Greg?
Me: A WII!
Mum: ... a WHAT?
Me: A Wii! It is uhm, kind of like an xbox (we have one, it was the only thing that I could think of that she could associate it with) BUT BETTER! And uhm, you play the games using a remote controller thing that you wave in front of the TV.
Mum: uh.
Me: Like, in WiiSports, you play tennis and you wave the remote at the screen like a tennis racket!
I ended up sending her to EB's and she came home very confused with a Wii, an extra Wiimote and nunchuck. We have WiiSports and WiiPlay. We set it up tonight and have been playing WiiPlay. So much fun. My sister is absolutely hopeless, as is my stepsister. Mum, surprisingly, isn't so bad, I can see her getting addicted to one of the games.
Mum thinks it is the geekiest and most clever thing. She came up with the name for it, she called it Geekii.

I feel that I have accomplished something today, just by getting out of the house for a few hours. I went shopping and spent money on new underwears, perfume and Animal Crossing: Wild World for DS.

"Be nice to the checkout chick. She stops meaning it when she tells you to enjoy the rest of your day. Make her mean it."
Someone I know posted this in one of their myspace bulletins. It is something that I have learnt all too well from working in retail - it is true.

9. The need for the same style of shoes in different colors.
8. Why bean sprouts aren't just weeds.
7. Fat clothes.
6. Taking a car trip without trying to beat your best time.
5. The difference between beige, ecru, cream, off-white, and eggshell.
4. Cutting your hair to make it grow.

This game will cause me lack of sleep and possibly insanity over the next few days. I almost guarantee it.

This is my Major Work Proposal for my Extension Two English course. I got the marks back today, and I ranked first in the class for it, and got a mark of 14/15, which converts back to 4.77 or something out of 5 - it rounds up to 5 though anyway I think. I am very happy with it!

Today I was part of a Creative Writing Workshop and one of the exercises which I found interesting was micro fiction. Micro fiction is where you write a story in 150 words or less. You can also write Micro Mini Fiction which is 150 characters or less. I started writing a story last night and turned it into a Micro Story (150 words), it is behind the cut.
