He will never die


Michael Jackson has passed away.
I cannot explain the shock and the pain I am going through. To me and many others I'm sure, he has been an iconic figure that I have loved and mostly, respected with all my heart. I am only 15, but since I was 6 years old I fell in love with his music and Michael as a person. He has been trying to share important messages of love with the world and has made a huge impact on music's history. He is a legend. It upsets me to think about how hard the media has made his life. He was not a circus act, he was not weird, he was unique. His childhood had been taken away from him and he had been hurt and lied through throughout his life, so it is only predictable that he might like different activities and still feel like a child. 

 His love for children was never, and i mean NEVER in any way abusive or perverted. I believe every word Michael has said and his true fans know the truth. His life was turned into mayhem by the media; forcing him to act in ways that did not show his true self. He was a shy, caring and also scared human being. He was also very sensitive and so his feelings were easily hurt, but that comes to no surprise after what he'd been through. 

I could write pages and pages about how I feel about Michael and what a big part he'd played in my life. It's such a waste, to have lost such a lovely, caring, talented, amazing person like Michael Jackson. I am in denial. The King of Pop will never truly die. He was beautiful inside and at one point also out. May he rest in Peace forever. Now you're safe Mike.

All my love and affection to his family, his beautiful kids and his friends.

I love you Michael.

I miss you.

I'll never forget you.

Ever.

Love.

Peace.

It's OVER

Wooooow!! Today I had my last test! It was a maths test, the longest one we've ever had and I didn't even manage to finish it; crap. Well, on the other hand I got some test results back as well and they count as my end-of-year mark on my report. So here's what I've gotten so far:
  • Physics: 6.5  (Whooohhooo!!! :D)
  • Geography: 8  (Whooohhhhhooooo!!!!)
  • Spanish: 10  (Well... yeah!)
  • Finnish: 7.5  (could be worse..)
Well, for now that's all I know. Tomorrow I'm getting my history test back and honestly, I think that went alright. Can't wait till school is over dudes!! My best friend who left a while ago is coming to visit for the summer!! OMG! Cannot wait! AND I'll be going on holiday with her and it'll be soo much fun!

So, I must apologize for the very short post, but seen as I haven't got much to talk about I wouldn't want to bore you much more. I'll be bloggging again soooon!

Duuuude Seriously!

Oh Good day to you all!

I should probably start off by saying how deeply sorry I am for abruptly "giving up" on my blogging. It was very rude of me. BUT this is another day, so let us get over that minor detail and move on to this blog.

So, seen as it has been a while since I last posted I guess I should talk about what I've been up to. Well, here we go: 
  1. I started school again
  2. I figured no one was reading my blogs
  3. I forgot to have time to write my blogs
  4. I was busy falling in love hopelessly
  5. I was studying for my exam
  6. I've been stressing
  7. I've been lazying about
  8. I've been busy trying to get over the guy
  9. The guy's finished with school so I'll never see him again
  10. I'm still not over the guy
  11. Homework.
Right, so number 9. isn't entirely true, because I mean I'll probably run into him here and there or whatever, but no big deal. HELL YEAH! It's a Hu-flipping-mungus deal! I am NOT going to go into details about this person because it will not help my "therapy". Anyway, I find blogging is a pretty good way to kill time and just tell people (in my case: invisible followers) what you've been doing. If you think about it, it doesn't really make sense. You know, if you've just been through a ridiculously boring day, then why on earth would you blog about it when you have nothing to say? Well, simply because there is nothing better to do in my life. Schoolwork aside.

 Now now, school ends in 2 weeks time!! OMG. I know half the schools in Europe have probably finished school already, but hey, I guess that at the European School they just like to be unique and keep the kids in school for just a little while longer. Just so they can say that the students do more work and hence, shall be smarter once they finish their time here and we are depriving them of an awesome day at the beach so that they can stay locked up in a stuffy B.O smelling classroom for just a little while longer.Why, how I love our school system. Although I do tend to speak of it as if it were a jail. You know when i say "finish their time here" etc. I do think we are actually doing time. Which brings me to think: Why is it that we have to wake up every morning and endure a solid 8 hours of school, to then go home and end up having piles of more schoolwork to do, and we don't even get PAID. 

Duuuuude, seriously! All teachers do is lie around all day complaining about how we're not good enough and how it's not their problem if we haven't found a gap in our "schedules" to fit in the presentation they want ready for the next day. I mean, honestly guys. I'm not denying they do have work to do themselves.. you know, like marking some homework, tests and wirting report cards. But hey, a shout-out to the teachers: You brought it on yourselves! Now, don't complain to us when you knew you had this coming.

Do you agree?

Man, I am quite tired of writing already! I guess I just have to get used to this blogging thing again. FYI this was probably the most spontaneous, "go-with-the-flow" blog I've written...ever.

Bye for now :)

First blog of the day

Right, so today i wake up, go downstairs to have breakfast and literally the second i managed to swallow the last drop of milk the doorbell rings. It's the gardener. THE BLOODY GARDENER! I'm in my pyjamas right, so I sprint to the closest room with a door and lock myself in there. I get really frustrated by these random appearances at my house; especially when I'm on holiday and I could relax and stay in my pyjamas till like 4 o'clock. So, yeh that wasn't a great start to my day as I had to stick my ear to the door until he stepped outside and then take another sprint up the stairs in the safety of my room.

 Anyhow, today I got inspired by one of Jimmy0010's videos where he talks about the optitian. Ok, I have been there a few times myself and I've had to take trips to buy more than one pair of glasses ( yes, i've lost a couple...) so I noticed that what he said really made sense. He says that it is really odd that when you walk in, everyone who works there is actually wearing glasses. I have noticed that before, but he also made some other valid points: Like that if you're getting your eyes checked, you'd like the person that's deciding whether you can see or not, to actually see themselves.

 It is weird, because when you go to the dentist they're not all wearing braces, but yeah they do all seem to have perfect teeth and then when you see them smoking on the street they even try to hide the cigarette while they spill out a huge cloud of smoke when they smile at you. Urgh! At the optitians they do have some sort of odd pair of "glasses" they use to test different lense strengths and to be honest with you, to me they look like some sort of victorian torture method, or just a really old fashioned pair of Harry Potter glasses.

This is all just a "blog reply" to Jimmy0010's video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GhDeTBYZys&feature=channel_page

Quote of the day: "There are no more frightening words in the universe than: Don't blink.Because as soon as those words are uttered it becomes a battled of will between you and the optitian."  That deserves a LOL.

The Seemingly endless afternoon is over

Why look at that, I'm done cleaning my room and I'm honestly pretty proud of the result of all the hard work. It took me about 2 and a half hours to get this room "tidied" up. Pretty much, it's all an optical illusion; I just pick things up from the floor and dump them somewhere else and make them look tidy and neat. You know, 'cause if you can see the floor it's already a good sign.I mean it makes the whole room look bigger and neater actually.

 Enough about my room. Well actually this is relevant to the fact that I tidied up. I found this "Rescued Paper Notebook" that I had bought in the Museum Of Modern Art in New York last year. I've sort of been using it as a scrapbook and I must admit I'm quite happy to have found it again. It's really awesome.

it has a really cool feeling to it too. I really like flippng the pages and the cover's got this really cool sort of texture. Anyone else got one of them? My mum thought it'd be completely useless ( like most of the things I own),but you know everything can come in handy every once in a while, right?  Apart from the notebook, I also bought my lovely Gryffindor scarf from Fao Schwarz. Man, I love that shop almost as much as i love Hamleys or the gadget/toy/game area in Harrods.

The pic of the notebook is in the sidebar :) (temporarily)

Plans for today?

Well, my mum's already gotten us to do work on the first day of our Spring break. I got up at about 9.30am and received the great news that today I'd be outside in the garden washing up all the tables and chairs, and cleaning up old toys and shit from the garden. I must admit it all turned out pretty well, although we still haven't finished.

 I have a long long afternoon ahead of me. I'll be cleaning my room. -I KNOW!- Surprised eh? That really doesn't happen so often, but I'm afraid I have no choice. It's going to be tough, my room's no joke. It's a mess, but it's also my mess. I find everything I need in my own messy space and I'm afraid that cleaning up won't help so much, but it'll look more decent. I am a person that loves to accumulate stuff and it's all over the place. Even when it's properly cleaned up and "tidy", you still walk in and think: Wow how much stuff is there in here? I'm surprised my room's holding it all in. It's insane. I guess I just don't like throwing stuff away, even though more than 80% of the crap I've got in this room is useless, I still like to keep it around. Don't you? 

Please don't tell me you're neat freaks.
Might write later.

Omegle

Now, now.
This new virtual "Talk-to-strangers" site is pretty awesome I must say. So far, out of the people I've talked to, I'm guessing about 60-70% are jerks or people who just go on and mess about. The other 30-40% are decent people who're there to have a chat and maybe get to know you. So, out of the decent people, 2 disappeared suddenly ( which i must admit is a disappointment), 1 didn't want to keep in touch, but 2 of them i've managed to stay in touch with.

 One,(the very first person i met) is lorena. I am very grateful to have met her, because she's awesome. Obviously, she's a nerdfighter and she also got me into the whole nerdfighterism, although i had already been following charlie and nerimon on youtube, I didn't know much about Nerdfighters and that; thanks Lorena (also known as alorena1 on youtube).
 
The other person I met is a guy from Massachusetts who's really chilled and fun to talk to. With this guy, I've had the longest Omegle conversation ever. Infact, it's still going on right now. I wouldn't be surprised if it's been nearly 2 hours :P We've exchanged emails and I think i got him to get msn because "like everyone international has one" :) agreed. Life's going to be easier for you now, my friend.

So yeah, you might talk to a lot of jerks on Omegle, but this kind of proves they're not all like that, and you have no idea how small the world is. You might find people from your country that speak the same funky language you do, you might find some disappoint you. But overall, you've got nothing to lose, right?

Tell me about your Omegle expiriences! Disappointments? New friends? Jerks? or just a good old chat?

P.s. If the conversation goes something like this then play along:
Stranger:Hi
You: hey
Stranger: I like pie.
You: Me too
Stranger: Reaaaalalllllyyyyyyy??
You: Nah.
--DISCONNECT--
:P
