Wow, post 120 and 29 days 'till my Birthday.
There's quite a substantial list of stuff you can do once you're sixteen... I think...
Lets have a look..

• Drive a car

Well. That's a quite substantial list. If anyone can think of anything else...
But man, once you're 17, thats where it's at.

• Forced pay rise!

That'll piss the old bastard off. I swear, I'm so angry about all this money he owes me. I dunno if I've posted on it before, maybe I have. Anyways, we're supposed to get more money on Saturdays, Sundays and Public holidays, and the slimy bastard wasn't coughing up for about 3 or 4 months. So he owes lots of people a fair bit on money, including me. And since I want a 60g Video iPod, (to quote from "The Producers") "Dear Lord, I WANT THAT MONEY!!!!"

Jerk.

Finaly, we're on holidays, so, (as the people who know me (read: people who read this) can tell you) this means staying up über late every night. Like every night for the past week anyway. Oh well, I'm fine. *Camera behind Ben zooms out, we see computer room. We see Ben's tired head on the keyboard. yhujnm (thats what his head typed)."

Hmm... Yhujnm. Sounds like Chupacabras. Damn I get random this late at night.
Oh well, may I present Yhujnm, the new mascot of Canvas of the Jungle.

Like the Chupacabras, it is a creepy bloodsucker. But unlike the Chupacabras, it lives in the Amazon, not Mexico, and it has wings, not horns. Also, that's life sized there, so... Yeah. Bit of a difference.

Damn, I really hope all these pictures I've uploaded aren't killing my bandwidth. Oh well, it's fun. So, enjoy Yhujnm.
29 Days people, well, 28 by the time someone reads this, and thats being hopeful. Hope you've bought that dead fish on a string...

Too subtle, huh. Well, I'm just going to take that as a compliment, and move on.

BTW, no matter how many times you ask/tell me, I'll ask her out when I'm ready, and no, I'm not bored because I haven't asked her out. Moving on...

Today was pretty good as far as days go. I can't really complain. It's cold here though. Really cold. And exams are finally over! Yay! About damn time, too, they were boring as hell. Family Guy downloading in the background, thats good... good...

I broke a computer at school on Tuesday, in the library. Hehe. My bad. If it's still screwed up next term, I'll fix it. That'd be awesome, come in, own up all the stupid computer noobs there, and they'll be all like "omg, you're so pro! teach me to be as pro as you" and I'll say "lol!"

Sorry, I've been watching this show, Pure Pwnage and it kinda rubs off on you. It's only funny if you're a gamer though. Good thing I am. I'm actually in a good mood right now, I got Photoshop and some Macromedia stuff back on the computer, which is awesome. Now I can make my shittey flash again! Yay! And I can fix my blog's layout, now THAT would be awesome.

I think I'll go have a crack at that now...
Ben

Hehehe.
I'm in a pseudo-good mood. Look it up, I cbf'd.
Actually, I'm not in the best mood I've ever been in. And I don't know why. If anyone has any insights into my madness(/boredom) it'd be great if you could tell me. Cuz I'm really confused as to why I'm so angry/sad/bored.

I dunno, I just don't feel very happy right now, I guess. Make of this what you will...

Make of the comments on past posts what you will too, there's a lot of interesting stuff in all of Hoang's waffle there. You might just find something.
Ben

P.S. If I'm being too subtle, let me know

Man, what a weekend. I'm so frigging tired, it's not funny. I was on the go all frigging weekend, I didn't get to sit down at all. So I was working at 10 on Saturday, and I got up at 9:30, left, go there. Boring. And stupid Cooper, he swapped shifts with Nicole, so that was a boring shift. If she'd been there it would have been interesting, I guess. So I finished at 2, I met up with Josh and Brooklyn. I practically got tied down and force-fed Carbonara. This was because of a deal I made with Brooklyn a couple days ago (I make such STUPID deals/bets)(mainly bets).
So, that wasn't the best idea I've ever had, but still, I went along with it. Unfortunately, Brooklyn got kinda angry when I wouldn't eat all of this strange, cheesy food I've never had before. Also Bacony (grrr @ bacon). So she was pissed at me for a couple hours, which made going shopping for Gabby's birthday present kinda awkward. Still, we managed to get all the stuff, then Brooklyn went to church and Josh and I went to my house (after I apologised for not eating the stuff), got Gabby's presents ready, then went to her party. I had fun, I really did. It was so cool, playing Werewolf as a small group like that, we had an awesome game with The Infector (turns dudes into werewolfs instead of killing them), the Witch (can save one person, and kill one person), the Ninja (dodges one bullet a night, can flip out and murder-suicide someone) and 4 villagers. So we were all convinced that the infector was Kate or Blaine, but it was really Nick, and man did Blaine play well. Fun game. Me & Josh were the last to leave ('sept Kate, but she was staying over), and we played the chocolate game, and Kate told fortunes with a dice. Fun. Josh and I talked for about 2 hours, about random stuff... Fun. I slept like a log for about 9 hours, I guess, then we played Donkey Konga for 3 hours, then Family Guy for a while, then one game of DotA, then we took Josh home, then TOM came over for History study, he photocopied my book, then I went to work. Equally as boring as yesterday. We were 75 minutes late, so tahts like, an extra 2 and a half hours pay :D.

So here I am, typing when I should be studying. Sorry Brooklyn, I just cbf'd. Guess I'd better say goodbye to Dr. Benny :P.

What a week, huh? Exams, mainly, that was crazy. Lucky-other-year-10's, they only had 6, we get 7, and they only had 1 week, we get 2. But they get 2 weeks of work experience. Lucky.

Here's a question: Do you have ANY idea how humiliating it is to just be walking somewhere, and have some random call out something like "z'omg! It's harry potter uleh! i am so dumb, i can't read a kids book, but i can watch a movie!" I was at Barkley this afternoon, and I went into McDonalds (don't hate me, I was hungry) and there was like 10 lebo dudes sitting at the tables near the enterance. So, I stood there for a second, knowing that I'd get called Harry Potter, then I walked in. As I thought... "LOOK! IT'S HARRY POTTER!" Bam, 10 lebo idiots turn and look at me. A wicked smile carresses their cruel, snarling lips. "Harry! How you doing!" "Cast a spell on me, Harry!" "Harry! How's that asian chick?" So I bought my fatty food, chucked some paper in the bin ("What'd he chuck?") then walked out. On the way down Union street, as I was eating the pig fat/soft serve from McDonalds, ANOTHER random comes up, and says "Hey, can I have an ice cream? Tight ass." Then walks off. I'm in a pretty bad mood by then, but I keep walking down Union street. I get to Fallon street without incident. I see some year 11's I know. They say "How you doing, Ben?" I nod. They're smoking. I hate smokers, so I increase my walking speed. I get to the tram stop. Some asian girls on the other side of the road point and laugh at me. I get on the tram. Some pompous private school bastards are staring at me. I do my best to ignore them and just listen to my iPod, but their probing eyes make me feel very disconcerted.

I finally get home, and I just collapse onto my bed for a couple minutes. I'm so tired, it's not funny. And people think I don't do anything after school.

It was a pretty crap day today, to tell the truth. I really didn't do that much, so it was kinda boring. Scumm was ok, we had a speaker, and I got us all a 5 week extension on our projects (go ahead, tell me I didn't. I dare you). Recess was ok, we got shunted around a bit because we were plaing Werewolf and got kicked out of B block, so we went to the Drama Room and skipped pastoral.

Health sucked balls. Thank god it was the last class. I just listened to my iPod for a while.

Lunch was good, we played Werewolf again. It's weird, the characters Blaine invented are on the Wikipedia page for Werewolf, and no one's admitting to putting them up. The site's here if anyone's interested. Then we had our English exam, which was easy enough. I dind't write enough though, I never do :D. Oh well. A nice, relaxing night, after a hard, boring day.

Sometimes I wonder, when people are badmouthing someone in the class when they're not there, I wonder if people ever talk about me like that. I guess everyone does, except the über popular people who are so confident in their popularity that one dissenting voice does nothing to assuage their popularity.

And sometimes, right after I get burned (metaphorically, I'm not physically burnt) by someone, I sit back and think "Man, I have such a high opinion of that person, how can they say something like that?" And it makes me sad.

And then, I see someone being attacked about something they have no control over, like their appearence, or intelligence, or parents or something, and I have a dilemma: should I intervene? Or should I join in? Or should I just sit on the fence, not wanting to go either way because while I'll get in someone's good books, someone else's opinion of me has slipped just that little bit further down.

I've always been told that I should help people if they need it, or their in trouble. All through primary school, I was that person who needed help. And my family isn't exactly the type of family who'll tell you it's ok to tease someone. That's probably where I get my moralistic streak from. Even my extended family, like my uncle will always help a hurt animal if he sees it. Which I think is awesome. I wish I was more like him (he's a pilot, he has a Porche and a Mustang, and he's an awesome guy in general).

So, I'm in the accellerated class at school. Which in principle, is an awesome idea, putting kids who under normal circumstances would be bored, and teased, into a class together so they can learn better. But in fact, it's singling these people out for more teasing! In year 7, I was the short, dorky kid with glasses, and few friends. And the friends I had were just as dorky, or socially awkward as I was (Josh (no offence, but you were :D) Luther, Tom, Peter etc...) So was the class really that good an idea? I still get taunted, hell, even my boss teases me. Is that fair? Just because I have brown hair and glasses, I'm automatically associated with that teen wizard with a frigging gash in his forhead. Who, btw, is way cool, I just don't like the association, I'd rather be my own person than be catergorised as "Harry Potter."

Oh boy, I've done another rambler. Oh well, it's important to vent feelings like this every once in a while. And I can almost hear the criticisms coming in now... Or at least anticipate the questions...

Response

Well Nick, the "he" in the last paragraph is the same "he" as in the 2nd last paragraph.

And in response to the other comment, the phrase "too much information" applies, I think.

Today sucked, may I say, I think I sucked ass in Italian, and the other classes were boring (well, Maths was ok, but that was because Me & Gabby just listened to her Mp3 player).

Oh, and I'm invited to Gabby's party on Saturday, which'll be fun.

Chocolate, eh...

Ben
P.S. Sorry, just a short post, as I cbf'd.
P.P.S. Shout out to Brooklyn who got 98% on her Maths exam :D Well Done, Better than what I'll get anyway.
