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.

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.

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

I have also lost my voice, this is no fun.

This story is for 'The QC writing challenge thread' over on the questionablecontent.net forums. The aim of the challenge is to write a short story, or part of one and include certain aspects. The aspects for the first challenge were beeping, alcohol and a fence. My story is behind the cut.

I am going to take a leaf out of gryphonmage's book (hehe), and do a list, because it seems like a good idea at the moment.

1) I have finally figured out my subject choices for next year, which include dropping Maths, which means no more silly maths classes with silly teachers.
2) I am working, not one but two jobs, which means money, which means saving, which means AMERICA!!
3) My Legal Studies assignment is done, as is my English speech (still have to present this), and the only major thing i have due any time soon is my Society and Culture Personal Interest Project.
4) I have realised that I am actually getting faster and better at touch typing, this makes me happy.
5) It has been really weird but good weather here. Raining one minute, bright sunshine the next, it is excellent.
6) Waking up half an hour earlier isn't as bad as I thought and it has helped me sleep better when I actually get to bed.

That's about all at the moment, after a week of stress and panic about assessments, I have one major one to go, then a break before exams, after that, some HOLIDAYS! :D

DONE! It is done ('it' being my extension portfolio), I am better, I can sleep now! Trying to get through classes, then work, then assignments due tomorrow on four hours sleep is something not to do again.

Well, sore throat is back, the water and butter menthols are not helping the throat or to settle my stomach. My head is pounding, my back is aching, I cannot talk real well at all at the moment. I feel way too hot, and it is barely warm, I have the window open and the fan on to cool me.

I hate being so sick and here I was thinking i was getting better. Think again Jamie, you are doing real well so far...

Oh yes, it is Tuesday, meaning I have two days to complete this Extension English portfolio, meaning I should have had this book read by last week.

On a side note, I have had sherbet!

First day at work = orientation = sitting around a room for 3 hours = bored and sleepy

I do get paid for that though, along with serving people at the refund counter. Angry people. With faulty products. Fun? Maybe.

On a side note, I am still sick, getting better though, however it feels like someone has whacked me upside the head and then jumped all over my poor brain.

Just finished. Serves me right for leaving it to the last minute. Modern History essay is done, it hasn't been proof read, i dont even know whether it makes sense. But i no longer care. It is done.

I am no longer a blonde. I am happy.

Goodnight.
