The Anti-Parabola Movement

Still sick, goody. It sucks being sick, you can't go out and do anything, because you might see someone and get accused of wagging, even if you look like you have cancer.
"Ben, why are you here, you're sick. OMG! WAGGER!"
*Ben passes out*
"Yeah, you think passing out will get you more time off..."
*Seisure*
"Don't you have a seisure, it's bad manners."
*Ben is dead*
"Ooh, goody for Ben, another 2 weeks off for you!"

Random...

Oh, btw, after talking to several people our age, I've realised how pointless and stupid parabolas are. Seriously, why do we need to know this shit?
So, I've decided to start this Anti-Parabola Movement.

If you want to join, then you can copy this into your blog template/website HTML code/ print it onto a T Shirt.

Just put it into the sidebar or something, I dunno, it's up to you :D.

So, still sick, eagerly awaiting the time when I can rejoin normal society.

GRRR.
So, I'm meant to work today, right, and I called in about an hour ago (it's almost 1 now). joe picks up. Here's a summary of our conversation; it mightn't be all together, but here it is:
"Joe, Yes it's Fresh?"
"Hi Joe, it's Ben"
"Who?"
"Ben"
"Sam?"
"BEN"
"I can't hear you"
*clicking noises*
"It's BEN, Joe, the little dude who works there?"
"Oh, Ben, why didn't you say so."
"Listen, I'm not gonna be able to-"
"What'd you say?"
"I'm not going to be-"
"What?"
"I'm not going to be able to get to work today"
"Oh."
"Yeah, still really sick."
"Well Ben, this really isn't good, everyone's at school, it's a bit late. Are you sure you can't work?"
"Yeah, my nose is running like crazy"
"Ok Ben"
*Hangs up*
*Ben is left standing holding the phone, thinking "WTF"*

Now, I might have been in the wrong a bit, by leaving it so late, but it isn't like everyone there goes to school, there's heaps of adults there.

GRRR.
And I'm still sick, so no school tomorrow, which means I'm gonna fail all my exams. Grrr.

Oh well, they'll promote me to Yr11 anyway :D:D:D

P.S. 9 hours after posting this, I realised that someone outside (well, not too outside, I knew them) actually found my blog, and commented on it and read it. What are the odds of that happening, right after I posted that last thing?

Still sick, hopefully not another 2 week one though, because I got stuff that needs doing. Debating, Music, not to mention another SAC and revision for exams... Sigh. "I'm boned" as it could be put. Wouldn't it be funny if this blog got found by the mainstream? Like, got onto the front page, and someone clicked it and found this little record of my life. I mean, I've had other people click onto my site, from that Navbar dealie *points up* But I mean someone clicking on, and actually reading all this stuff I spend hours writing. That'd be awesome.

Screw Monday, I hate Saturday...

So, I wake up at 7. Which, considering how late I go to bed/sleep (they're different times, trust me) and when I wake up on a school day, is kinda strange. But still, 7. I think to myself "I could wake up, get food, maybe go on the computer." Then I realise taht I have work in two hours. So, to hell with that, I slept for another hour and a half. Then I got up, went to work at 9, went home sick at 12... Got a haircut, then came home, had some medicine, and plonked myself here, on the computer. Btw, thats a particularally shite photo there, as it was done on my $40 digital. Oh well.

More to the point, why in their right minds would anyone go to work at NINE in the morning, on a SATURDAY(!) is beyone me. Grrr.

iLinux :P

So I was down at Barkley Square today, with about an hour to kill before work, so I thought "Hey, I know, I'll go into the newsagent. And what did I see? An iPod/iTunes book. So I bought it. Wow, there goes $15... Oh well. Which brings me to the point. I bought the damn thing because it had this interesting little article that said "play a great game on your iPod!" The article's name was iDoom. So I brought it, not realising that I had to put the operating system Linux on the iPod first. Grr. It's a pretty similar interface as the iPod one, but strangely different... *shudders* Not cool. Seriously, it's creepy how blank and colourless it is. And now, while trying to PLAY iDoom, it's crashed. Yes, I managed to crash an iPod. Grrr. And all because I clicked on Music, then back straight away... Oh well, it's good now. Actually, it's pretty damn awesome... I'd almost recommend that everyone gets it, but then I remember that almost everyone has a Shuffle, or doesn't have an iPod at all... Hmmm... Oh well.

This is ALMOST what I'd classify as a BS post, as it really didn't say very much. Well, lets say something: I'm sick, again, which means two weeks off school for Ben :D

Just kidding, hopefully, I'd go mad being stuck at home for that long.
Ben

Excursion! Woo!

Pity it was with Ms Pearson, huh. Oh well, it was still fun to be out of the school for the day, and the play was pretty damn good. A bit too long though, but it was still fun. We saw Romeo and Juliet, by the Bell Shakespeare company, btw. Pretty good.

Btw, for those of you who didn't guess who everyone was in this photo, here it is again:

Left to Right : Josh, Ben, Nick, jesse, Kate, Gabby, Brooklyn.
Yeah, the person on the far right is Brooklyn, not Phedra or... I can't remember who else people guessed. And Brooklyn's photo had some creative consultancy, so thanks to Josh for that.
What else... *brings up comments from last post*
Ah...
Whether emotional blackmail is legal or not, it still is very far from ethical... On my chain of morality :P I'd put it at (-25). Useful little thing, ain't it?
And jessica is a girly, isn't she?
Ben

So, I've been thinking, in the wake of the 100th post, that if I were to post maybe 4 times a week, maybe even more, I could get to the 200th post by about November. Yeah, if.

So we play this game, Werewolf, at school, and SOME people take it a bit too seriously. SOME people maybe won't be named here, and I stress here, but SOME people need to think about how seriously they take GAMES! God damn! If you have a problem with how I play games, go shove it up your ass. I don't care what you think.

But back to posting, if I was less selective of when I post, and did more bullshit posts (read song lyrics) I could get there by about July... :P Just in time for my birthday.

A couple days ago, I had a conversation with someone, who again, shall remain nameless, who seemed to believe that the concepts of "like" and "love" are identical. Which, in my opinion, is total bull. Not possible. I gave this example to the person: "Hey nameless, I 'like' you." This person shut up after that.

And then they went on to do something completly insensitive, something that is so low on the chain of morality that I can't even think about it. But I haven't stopped thinking about it. Grrr.

Chain of Morality
Charity (100)
Intervening when someone's in trouble (25)
Neutrality (0)
Being a bitch to one of your friends (-5)
What this person did (-99)
Evil (-100)

Maybe I shouldn't post this....
*clicks on publish post button*
Whoops, my finger slipped.
Btw, see if you can find the new blog that I've done, it's in Italian. I think it's funny, translating all these posts into Italian, seeing if someone'll find it and comment. Also, Italian people need to see my greatness too (i need to expand my fanbase =/)
